Ralston Hall rehab drive done

More than $6M collected in matching funds for retrofit of Belmont campus historic building
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Ralston Hall, the crown jewel of the Notre

Dame de Namur University campus in
Belmont, will be retrofitted and renovated
due to the generosity of local residents and
members of the school community.
University officials announced Monday,
Jan. 4, the school met its $6 million goal
for the fundraising campaign established to

help pay for the restoration of the private

universitys beloved 55,000 square foot
historic center.
The fundraising deadline passed Thursday,
Dec. 31, to meet the challenge offered by
philanthropist Tad Taube, who offered to
match funds paying toward the sizable construction project.
Dino Hernandez, vice president for
advancement at the university, celebrated
the success of the fundraising campaign.

We are very pleased we met it, and

exceeded it, said Hernandez.
Though the exact amount of money raised
is yet to be determined, Hernandez projected
nearly $6.3 million had been donated since
the drive began last year.
He said the school typically is only able
to raise about $1 million in charitable donations annually, so he considered going
beyond the $6 million mark a tremendous
success.

This has been an extraordinary challenge for Notre Dame de Namur on many
levels, he said. For us to be able to raise
$6 million in 12 months or less is nothing
less than miraculous.
Ralston Hall has been shuttered since
2012, and is in need of a $12 million
upgrade to make it seismically sound, and
compliant with standards set by the

Renovations underway to give veterans headstones more permanent settings

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Bruno officials charged with managing restitution

funds granted in the wake of the Crestmoor gas pipeline
explosion are set to begin investing a significant portion
of the roughly $70 million settlement paid by Pacific Gas
and Electric.
The San Bruno Community Foundation will meet
Wednesday, Jan. 6, and approve issuing requests for proposals from investment management companies interested
in ushering $15 million of the fund paid by the utility company to San Bruno after the tragic explosion which killed
eight and injured 66 in 2010.
The foundations Executive Director Leslie Hatamiya said
the pending decision will eventually lead to the entirety of
the $68.5 million restitution fund officially being transferred from the citys oversight to the foundations control.

Tens of thousands of headstones

Crews charged with overseeing the

Idaho man finds art in back hair
NAMPA, Idaho One mans back
hair is another mans canvas.
At least thats how Mike Wolfe, 35,
of Nampa, Idaho, has decided to
approach manscaping.
Wolfe tells KTVB-TV that after years
of feeling ashamed of his body hair, he
asked a friend in 2008 to trim an
American flag on his back rather than
undergoing hair removal processes like
shaving or waxing. Since then, the two
meet up several times throughout the
year to design a new creation onto
Wolfes back.
Pssh, its manhandling back hair,
said Wolfe. Its disgusting. But its
funny. You cant deny its funny.
Tyler Harding, a former graphic artist
who has been friends with Wolfe for
more than a decade, says it takes about
an hour to complete the artistic trim.
And the creations can now be seen on
a calendar called a Calend-hair
available for $20. Some proceeds will
benefit a charity at Wolfes church.
Designs are uniquely named, such as
Grim Reap-hair for October and M-hairachi Band for May.
Everybody always makes fun of the
guy with back hair, Wolfe said. Well
now its my turn to shine, right?
Wolfes wife takes some credit for
him flaunting his fur. When they went
on their first date, Wolfe told her he was
hairy. He felt nervous at the time, but
she took it in stride.

Looking back now this might be

because of me, Jamie Wolfe said.
Maybe I shouldnt have given him so
much confidence in his back hair.

Swimmers splash into

2016 in NYC Polar Bear plunge
NEW YORK New Years Day was a
time to chill out for a throng of adventuresome swimmers who started 2016
with a dip in the Atlantic Ocean off New
York City.
An estimated 2,000 people participated in the annual Coney Island Polar
Bear plunge on a seasonally chilly
Friday. National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration measurements show air temperatures in the area
were in the low 40s, while the ocean
was a bit warmer.
Some people wore wetsuits, but others sported only bikinis.
Sixty-two-year-old Peter DeAngelo
was garbed as the Jolly Green Giant for
his 10th Polar Bear swim. He tells the
Daily News of New York that its
something you can never explain,
but it gets adrenaline flowing.
The event raises money for Camp

Elephant seal from traffic

standoff gives birth to pup
SAN FRANCISCO The 900-pound
elephant seal that tied up traffic in
Northern California last week has
given birth.
The birth happened Saturday, five
days after the elephant seal first tried to
cross a busy highway near Sears Point
in Sonoma County.
Rescue crews last Wednesday tranquilized the wayward seal that snarled traffic
for two days by trying to cross a highway several times.
The wandering seal appeared healthy
and fit, but experts thought she might
be pregnant.
Before the seal was tranquilized, a rescue worker in a kayak used a bullhorn to
yell at the animal and try to scare her
back into open water.

Slocum to take over board

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

San Mateo County Supervisor Warren

Slocum is expected to take over the presidency of the board at an annual reorganization at Caada College Tuesday night.
Slocum, who won his District 4 seat in the
November 2012 election, takes over leadership of the board from outgoing president
Carole Groom.
The former chief elections officer and
assessor-county clerk-recorder now represents the cities of Redwood City, Menlo
Park and East Palo Alto and the unincorporated areas of North Fair Oaks and Oak
Knoll.
He replaced Rose Jacobs Gibson on the
board, who was termed out, with 55.6 percent of the vote to Shelly Masurs 44.4 percent. Masur was recently elected to the
Redwood City Council.
He is currently the co-chair of the Closing
the Jobs/Housing Gap Task Force with
Supervisor Don Horsley.
Slocum, 67, has made increasing the number of affordable housing units and reducing
homelessness a focus while he has served

on the board.
The lack of affordable
housing affects all of our
communities in a wide
variety of ways. The task
force, representing people and organizations
with varied opinions and
constituencies, is an
Warren Slocum opportunity to turn this
crisis into a defining
moment by generating workable solutions
that can translate into action, Slocum told
the Daily Journal previously.
The goal of the task force is to identify
the issues, strategize potential tools, solicit community input at a future date and create
a menu of options for participants to bring
back to their constituents and communities
for consideration.
One of the big obstacles is trying to get
the community to support the effort to build
more housing, Slocum said.
More housing means more traffic but the
public needs to know that without more
housing and skyrocketing rents, many lowwage earners will have to travel great dis-

tances to do the jobs they do here, he said

after the task force first convened.
North Fair Oaks and East Palo Alto require
special focus because of issues of flooding,
gangs, crime, blight and a limited number
of affordable housing units, according to
his county website.
He is also heavily involved in the North
Fair Oaks Community plan a policy document to establish goals and policies for
land use, housing, health and wellness,
parks and recreation, traffic circulation and
infrastructure for large neighborhood surrounded by Redwood City and Atherton.
The plan is currently under review and
includes proposed planning and zoning regulations.
Before his retirement in 2010, Slocum
was chief elections officer and assessorcounty clerk-recorder for 24 years.
He is also the last supervisor to be elected
by voters in the entire county.
Slocum is married to Maria Diaz-Slocum,
who is a trustee on the Redwood City
Elementary School District. They have
lived in Redwood City for more than 25
years and raised two sons.

Defense in Chinatown trial calls prosecutions case flimsy

By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A defense attorney for

a man charged with murder and racketeering
in a Chinatown organized crime investigation told jurors that prosecutors had not
proven their allegations and that a conviction would send an innocent man to prison.
J. Tony Serra, lead attorney for Raymond
Shrimp Boy Chow, is expected to continue
his closing argument Tuesday in a twomonth trial that has riveted the country for
its colorful characters and alleged crimes.
The investigation, led by an undercover
federal agent posing as a member of an East
Coast crime syndicate, had previously
ensnared a state senator. Serra is a flamboyant and well-known defense lawyer. And in an
unusual move, Chow took to the stand to testify he had renounced his life of crime and
declare his innocence.
Prosecutors have said Chow took over a
Chinese fraternal group with criminal ties
after having its previous leader killed and ran
an enterprise that engaged in drug trafficking, money laundering and the sale of stolen
cigarettes and alcohol. He is also accused in a
second killing.
On Monday, Serra derided the prosecutions evidence as flimsy, based on secret
recordings and shady testimony from
Chows former colleagues. He railed at the

Four arrested for T.J. Maxx theft

Four people were arrested for stealing
items from T.J. Max in San Carlos Monday
morning, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office.
At about 10:30 a.m., deputies responded
to the stores parking lot at 1251 Industrial
Road on the report of the four fleeing after
stealing from the store. A passing sheriffs
sergeant observed them getting into an
awaiting vehicle and drive off toward
Industrial Road where they were stopped by
police.
A large amount of stolen clothing and
items from other stores were also located
and recovered, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
Arrested were Manuel Garcia, 26, San
Jose; Bertha Garcia, 35, San Jose; Jose
Hilario, 18, Redwood City; and Alejandro
Plancarte, 18, Redwood City.

Coroner identifies Daly

City man killed by big-rig
The Solano County Coroners Office has
identified a pedestrian who was killed when
he was struck by a big-rig on Interstate 80
in Fairfield on Friday as Cristoval
Navarrete, 33, of Daly City.
California Highway Patrol officials said
they received a call around 6:25 a.m. about a

government use of secret

surveillance.
If you convict this
man on the nature and
quality of the evidence
that has been produced,
you will be convicting an
innocent person, Serra
said, later adding: This is
Raymond Chow a case that is fraught,
fraught with reasonable
doubt.
Much of Mondays trial in the courtroom of
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer was consumed by a lengthy closing argument by the
prosecution. Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan
Badger asked jurors to disregard claims that
Chow was a changed man, saying that deception was his true nature.
He is not the victim here, Badger said
during her nearly four-hour presentation. He
is not the worlds most misunderstood criminal.
She pointed to an evidence table displaying about a dozen firearms, guns seized from
the homes of Chows alleged partners in
crime.
The 56-year-old Chow sat at a table flanked
by four of his attorneys. He looked on stoically for the most part, aided by a language
interpreter. At one point, he cheerily waved
hello to a person in the courtroom audience.
After Serra concludes his closing Tuesday,

Navarrete was struck by the big-rig on

CHP officials said drugs or alcohol may
have played a factor in Navarretes death.
He was pronounced dead at 6:54 a.m. and
an autopsy is scheduled for today, a
Coroners Office deputy said.

Police are looking for a man who robbed a

After entering the business on the 500
block of Jenevein Avenue at 2:27 p.m., the
suspect brandished a handgun and demanded
a laptop before fleeing, police said.
Officers and a police canine responded
within minutes but were unable to locate the
suspect, who remains at large.
He was described as a black man, between
the ages of 25 and 30. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a dark coat, dark pants
and a dark beanie.
San Bruno police are actively investigating the case. Anyone with information is

prosecutors will get a chance to rebut. Jurors

should get the case Tuesday.
The multi-year investigation was spearheaded by an undercover FBI agent who testified that he spent hours with Chow and people connected to him at fancy restaurants and
nightclubs, recording many of their conversations.

California bracing for

California right-to-die
opponents fail to make ballot
SACRAMENTO Opponents of a new
California law that will allow terminally ill

patients to legally end their own lives say

they did not collect enough signatures to
ask voters to repeal the law.
The group Seniors Against Suicide had
hoped to take the right-to-die question to
California voters next November.
Proponents needed to submit nearly
366,000 signatures by Monday to qualify
for the ballot.
But backer Mark Hoffman says in an
email to supporters that the group does not
have enough signatures to qualify.
Right-to-die was among the most hotly
contested issues last year. The legislative
debate followed the case of Brittany
Maynard, a terminally ill 29-year-old who
moved to Oregon from California to take
her own life.

Two Clintons and plenty

of Republicans in motion
By Vivian Salama and Scott Bauer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOONE, Iowa The sprint to the

Iowa caucuses opened Monday with
nearly a dozen presidential candidates in
motion, a rather restrained Bill Clinton
stepping up for his wife and a pledge by
the only billionaire in the race to start
spending serious money.
From Iowa to New Hampshire on
the air, on the bus and on the stump
candidates vying to become Americas
next president roared out of the holidays
in full force with less than a month to go
before voting begins.
The coming weeks are especially crucial for Republicans as voters look to
weed through the thicket of choices to
determine who will represent and
attempt to reunite a bickering party.
This, as contentious issues over terrorism, security, civil liberties and gun
ownership reverberate, giving candidates plenty to argue about.
Democrat Hillary Clinton and
Republican Donald Trump have been the
consistent favorites in polls overall.
But they have very different strengths.
Clinton also has an impressive

organization behind
her while Trumps
ability to pull off a
winning
ground
game is in question
and his frugal spending to date has stood
in stark contrast to
his vast personal
Hillary Clinton wealth. He says hes
opening the money
spigot now.
Early voting is often deemed critical
in races, like this one, when the path to
a nomination is so unclear. As mystery
shrouds the Republican race, the
Democratic one hangs on whether
Bernie Sanders, an independent socialist senator from Vermont, can turn his
months of large, passionate rallies into
enough votes to upset the former first
lady. In Iowa, the first of the early voting states, Republican contender Ted
Cruz launched a bus tour through the
state where his campaign feels he is
well-positioned to win.
Cruz called on Iowa voters to bring
nine of their friends and family members
with them to vote for him in the Feb. 1
caucuses. Cruz made the plea Monday in

the first of 28
planned stops in
Iowa over the next
six days.
Now is the time
that the men and
women of Iowa step
up and make your
decision, Cruz said
during his stop in
Bill Clinton
Boone, Iowa.
Clinton also kicked off a two-day
swing in Iowa, where she was scheduled
to attend several organizing events in
preparation for the caucuses.
In New Hampshire, former President
Bill Clinton launched his own tour on
behalf of his wife, talking both about
Hillary Clintons campaign promises
and his own experience in the White
House. What the scrappy political veteran did not talk about was Trump, whos
baited him in recent days by bringing up
his impeachment and decades-old sex
scandal.
As Clinton mingled with a lunchtime
crowd at a popular Manchester restaurant, news station above his head ran
captioned video questioning whether he
could avoid Trumps flagrant attacks.

Refuge occupation part of

a long-running lands fight

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURNS, Ore. The small group of armed anti-government activists occupying a remote wildlife preserve in
Oregons high desert gave visitors free access to the snowy
site Monday, allowing some local residents and ranchers in
to satisfy their curiosity or show support.
The group also appeared to be trying to keep the site
tidy, picking up cigarette butts from the ground and keeping vehicle and foot traffic primarily to roads and pathways.
Federal authorities made no immediate attempt to retake
the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which about two
dozen activists seized over the weekend as part of a
decades-long fight over public lands in the West.
There appeared to be no urgent reason for federal officials
to move in. No one has been hurt. No one is being held
hostage. And the refuge is a bleak and forbidding stretch of
wilderness about 300 miles from Portland, and its the middle of winter.
Some have complained that the governments response
to the situation in Oregon would have been more severe had
the occupants been Muslim or other minorities.

President moves to
expand background
checks for gun sales
By Jos Lederman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama moved Monday to
expand background checks to
cover more firearms sold at gun
shows, online and anywhere else,
aiming to curb a scourge of gun
violence despite unyielding opposition to new laws in Congress.
Obamas plan to broaden background checks forms the centerpiece of a broader package of gun
control measures the president
plans to take on his own in his
final year in office. Although
Obama cant unilaterally change
gun laws, the president is hoping
that beefing up enforcement of
existing laws can prevent at least
some gun deaths in a country rife
with them.
This is not going to solve
every violent crime in this country, Obama said. Still, he added,
It will potentially save lives and
spare families the pain of these
extraordinary losses.
Under current law, only federally
licensed gun dealers must conduct
background checks on buyers, but
many who sell guns at flea markets, on websites or in other

informal settings dont register as

dealers. Gun control advocates say
that loophole is exploited to skirt
the background check requirement.
Now, the Justice Departments
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives will
issue updated guidance that says
the government should deem anyone in the business of selling
guns to be a dealer, regardless of
where he or she sells the guns. To
that end, the government will consider other factors, including how
many guns a person sells and how
frequently, and whether those guns
are sold for a profit.
The executive actions on gun
control fall far short of what
Obama and likeminded lawmakers
attempted to accomplish with legislation in 2013, after a massacre
at a Connecticut elementary
school that shook the nations
conscience. Even still, the more
modest measures were sure to
spark legal challenges from those
who oppose any new impediments
to buying guns.
Were very comfortable that
the president can legally take
these actions now, said Attorney
General Loretta Lynch.

REUTERS

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, left, looks toward Barack Obama during a meeting with top law enforcement
officials to discuss what executive actions he can take to curb gun violence, in the Oval Office.
Obamas announcement was
hailed by gun control advocates
and Democratic lawmakers, who
praised the president for refusing
to cow to the National Rifle
Association and similar groups.
Dan Gross of the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence said
Obama was making history with
bold and meaningful action that
would make all Americans safer.
But even before the steps were
unveiled, Republicans launched a
pre-emptive campaign to try to
thwart them.

The president is at minimum

subverting the legislative branch,
and potentially overturning its
will, said House Speaker Paul
Ryan, R-Wis.
Far from mandating background
checks for all gun sales, the new
guidance still exempts collectors
and gun hobbyists, and the exact
definition of who must register as
a dealer and conduct background
checks remains exceedingly
vague. The administration did not
issue a number for how many guns
someone must sell to be consid-

ered a dealer, instead saying it

planned to remind people that
courts have deemed people to be
dealers in some cases even if they
only sell a handful of guns.
And the background check provision rests in the murky realm of
agency guidelines, which have
less force than full-fledged federal
regulations and can easily be
rescinded.
Many
of
the
Republican presidential candidates running to succeed Obama
have vowed to rip up his new gun
restrictions upon taking office.

Workers return to San Bernardino offices following massacre

By Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN BERNARDINO Behind

a chain-link fence and under
heavy security, workers on
Monday returned to their offices
at the San Bernardino campus
where 14 people died last month
in a massacre.
Inland
Regional
Center
employees flashed their identification badges to security guards
who ushered them into a parking
lot surrounded by a mesh-wrapped
fence as dozens of news reporters

stood outside.
Since the attack, few employees of the center that serves autistic children and mentally disabled
adults have gone to the office,
other than for brief visits to gather personal belongings.
Melvin Anderson, who helps
transport the centers clients,
was trying to figure out where he
could turn in paperwork to get
paid. The last time he did that
as he does each month was the
day before the Dec. 2 terror attack
at a holiday luncheon for county
employees. The gathering was

held in a building on the gleaming campus.

Its scary, really scary, but we
as Americans just have to face
whats going on and try to move
on, Anderson said. Weve got
to pull ourselves together, and
weve got to go on.
Many of the centers roughly
600 employees have continued

en fo rcemen t o ffi cers wh i s k ed

them away after the gunfire.

Amid the investigation and
cleanup, the campus has been
locked behind the temporary
fence. Within that perimeter, in
one corner, is a second fence. It
seals the conference center that
San Bernardino Countys health
department was renting for the
holiday luncheon when the two
shooters began their assault.
A county restaurant inspector
targeting his co-workers was
joined by his wife in killing 14
and injuring dozens in the attack.
They were motivated by radical

Islamist beliefs, according to the

FBI.
The conference building did not
reopen Monday, and its unclear
when it might.
In the afternoon, more than
3,000 people attended a memorial
service for victims of the shooting organized so county employees could mourn together.
Those gathered at the arena in
Ontario heard consolation and
inspiration from speakers that
included former New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani and evangelical
pastor Rick Warren.

Strong quake kills at least
eight in Indias remote northeast
GAUHATI, India A strong earthquake damaged buildings, killed at least eight people and injured more than 100
in Indias remote northeast region early Monday.
The death and injuries were caused by falling debris.
Manipur states home minister, G. Gaikhangam, said several areas suffered extensive damage, especially the capital,
Imphal. He did not give details but told reporters the situation was still being assessed.
Three people were killed in Imphal and five in other parts
of the state, said police officer A.K. Jalajit.
Media reports said five people were killed in neighboring
Bangladesh, but there was no official confirmation.
The 6.7-magnitude tremor left large cracks in walls, damaged a bridge on the outskirts of the capital and caused a
newly constructed six-story building to collapse. The
region is dotted with small houses with few tall buildings.
Indias Meteorological Department said the epicenter was
in the Tamenglong region of Manipur. It struck 35 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of Imphal, 17 kilometers (10
miles) below the surface and not far from the border with
Myanmar.

Sweden, Denmark introduce

border checks to stem migrant flow
COPENHAGEN, Denmark Denmark and Sweden tightened border checks on Monday to stem the flow of migrants
coming in from Germany, dealing fresh blows to the vision
of a Europe without national boundaries.
As of midnight Sunday, Sweden demanded that all passengers traveling by train from Denmark show ID, something
that hasnt been required since the 1950s.
Within hours, the Danish government announced it was
stepping up controls of its border with Germany, to make
sure that migrants headed for Sweden dont get stuck in
Denmark.
The government doesnt want Denmark to become a new
big destination for refugees, Prime Minister Lars Loekke
Rasmussen said.
The moves were the latest by European Union countries
to suspend an agreement to keep internal borders open after
1 million migrants entered the 28-nation bloc in 2015,
most of them by crossing the Mediterranean to Greece or
Italy.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan

troops rappelled from helicopters
onto the roof of a four-story building
near the Indian Consulate in a northern city on Monday to drive out gunmen who had attacked the diplomatic
mission the night before, officials
said.
The standoff in the northern
province of Balkh began Sunday night
when the attackers tried to storm the
consulate and then retreated into the
adjacent building.

Munir
Ahmad
Farhad,
the
spokesman for the provincial governor, confirmed that Afghan forces had
been airdropped onto the building.
Sher Jan Durani, the provincial police
spokesman, said men armed with rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and light
weapons had fired on troops from
inside the building into the morning
hours.
At least two Afghan security forces
were killed in the attack, Farhad said,
adding that since the building is close
to a residential area, we are careful to
avoid civilian casualties.

Dr. Noor Mohammad Faiz, a local

health official, said three civilians and
six soldiers have been hospitalized.
Meanwhile, a suicide car bomb
attack near the Kabul international airport killed one civilian and wounded
22 others, including children and
women, said Gen. Abdul Rahman
Rahimi, the Kabul police chief.
The attack took place near a logistics company in which one of the walls
of the company is destroyed, said
Rahimi. He added that both Afghans
and foreigners are working in the
camp.

It was the cow
Editor,
I just figured out why fans booed, ESPN
cut away and voices around the country
were so upset with the Stanford band.
Aside being a most talented and intelligent group of young women and men, the
Stanford band is arguably the most unconventional college band in the country.
Their Rose Bowl performance was over
the top with their unconventional uniforms, no choreographed formations, a
tree mascot running about and even one
band member playing the kitchen sink,
prompting many to call their performance
disrespectful. None of this, however,
caused the national uproar. It was the cow!
A couple of Stanford students dressed up
as a cow and therein lies the problem.
Being from Minnesota, I know that cows
represent Wisconsin, not Stanfords
opponent, Iowa. The Hawkeye state is
known for pigs and corn. Had the cow
been replaced by a big fat pig and some
sweet corn, the entire country would have
been able to appreciate the band for their
memorable and whimsical performance. I
always do.

Stricter gun control laws needed

Editor,
Republican presidential hopefuls like
Ted Cruz oppose gun registration, regulation and restriction because they dont
want the government to have more
intrusive powers. What other institution
do Americans have to protect them from
no-fly-list terrorists, mentally unstable
people and criminals acquiring guns? Our
government agencies require people to
pass a test before they are licensed to
drive a car, practice law or even cut hair.
Surely the purchase of killing machines
and ammunition should require passing a
background check, a safety test, registering in a national database and screening
for subsequent infractions that would disqualify gun ownership.
Candidates like Cruz want to limit the
ability of our government to prevent
mass shootings, which now account for
three times more deaths than we suffered
on 9/11. They pose as outsiders when
actually are completely embedded in corporation-sponsored corruption of our
government. It is time to vote against
Republicans like Cruz, and turn them into
the outsiders they pretend to be.

Disaster waiting to happen

Editor,
Beresford Park in San Mateo has always
offered a safe place forchildren to come
and play, run around and climb the structures with safety measures.
In thepast few months, it has been
intriguing, watching the design and the
development of thenewplay area. Im
wondering if the designers and engineers
addressed the many hazardous elements of
the design and engineering. While a
dynamic, exciting and engaging playground structures and environment are
imperative for outdoor learning opportunities, a perfect playground should be
designed to protect worry-free play.
Those big boulders certainty do not create a safer and better maintained play
environment. They are potential environmental hazards causing tremendous
injuries. They do not meet the accessibilityof surface system. The safety and
welfare of the children should have been
of first consideration. Will this playground pass the National Playground

Housing explained by greed

Editor,
I cannot believe the letter, Housing
explained by supply and demand in the
Dec. 30 edition of the Daily Journal. I
have one thing to say to the letters
author Robert E. Durkee cities are not
just houses, these houses need to support
school teachers, postmen and women,
city workers, etc. Thats what makes a
city a city, if we chase these wonderful
people out of our area, who is left to teach
our children and run our city?
The young and motivated will be gone.
I guess Robert hasnt been to Manhattan.
Its not a city; its a business. Walk down
the streets of Manhattan and say hi, and
see what you get. In the Bay Area, we
know and trust our neighbors. Teachers
who teach our children are very special
people who deserve to live in the city
they work in. The people who work for
our city should be able to live in our city.
Chase your fire and police personnel out
of the city and see what will happen when
you need all of them in a major disaster.
We have lost the idea of what a city is.
What is happening is not the law of supply and demand, it is greed.
Robert, you are wrong, and someday
when you wake up and you have no idea
who your neighbor is, it will be too late.
You want supply and demand? Move to
Manhattan you will fit in perfectly.
I cannot believe I am the only one complaining. Wake up world, before its too
late.

Life-changing New
Years resolution

ast month, I eagerly made my way

to a local gym in San Mateo. Like
many hard-working residents, I
sometimes struggle to find time for intensive weight training and cardio exercise
between long workweeks and lifes many
other demanding tasks.
Determined to begin my workout ambitiously, I made a naive attempt to bench
press far more weight than I could. As you
can imagine, it was not long before I
nearly pulled a muscle in my right shoulder a harsh
reminder that it
had been far too
long since I
made time for
the gym.
Noticing that
others were blatantly anticipating my next
failed attempt, I
gave myself a
short rest.
Jonathan Madison
Meanwhile, to
my left was an
incredibly fit man bench pressing about
300 pounds with little effort. Attempting
to save myself from further embarrassment, I left the bench press and made my
way over to his bench press machine.
Recognizing my face from the Daily
Journal, we exchanged laughs over a conversation.
It turns out this man held quite a busy
work life outside of the gym. Curious, I
asked him how he maintained a consistent
daily workout routine given his demanding schedule. I take it one day at a time,
he said. Quite motivated, I replied that I
would start my new daily workout routine
the following day. The man reluctantly
laughed, suggesting that I did not get it.
There is no tomorrow, he said. As long
as there is a tomorrow in your mind, you
will never accomplish what you intend to
today.
It took me a while to grasp the essence
in the mans statement. The fact is that
many of us never accomplish our shortand long-term endeavors because there is
always the reassurance of a tomorrow,
next month or new year in our foresights.
Unfortunately, our false reassurance of
more time can blind us to what matters
most: the present moment. This often
makes us unmindful that no day or
moment is promised. This is precisely
why many of us fail in accomplishing our
New Years resolutions.
Whether myth or fact, people genuinely
believe in the power of New Years resolutions. The new year always brings with it
an opportunity to change a lifestyle and
bad habit, or make changes that we failed
to make in the previous year. It is the idea
that the new year will bring with it a new
hope for self-improvement. Among the
most common New Years resolutions are
developing healthier eating habits, more
frequent exercise and dedicating more
time for personal endeavors.
If we are to change, let us change for
today. If we are to incorporate more time
for exercise in our daily routine, let us
begin today. If we intend to spend more
time with family, let us start today. If we
intend to place more genuine effort into
our work, let us start right now. There is
no guarantee that we will fulfill our
dreams or short-term goals tomorrow or
in 2016. There is a guarantee that if we do
not begin to better ourselves today, we
may never have an opportunity in the
uncertain future.

4,903.09.
The selling in China spread quickly
across markets in other Asian countries, then to Europe. Key indexes fell
anywhere from 2.2 percent to 4.3 percent in Japan, Hong Kong, South
Korea, Germany, France and Britain.
Huang Cengdong, an analyst for
Sinolink Securities in Shanghai, said
he expects more turmoil in the
Chinese stock market ahead of corporate earnings reports. There will be
heavy selling in the near future,
Huang said.
The immediate trigger of the sell-off
was a report that showed that manufacturing in China fell in December for
the 10th straight month.
The slowdown is worrisome around
the globe because Chinas manufacturers are huge buyers of raw materials,
machinery and energy from other
countries. Also, many automakers and
consumer goods companies are hoping

to sell more to increasingly wealthy

Chinese households.
In the U.S., slow overseas growth
already appears to be hurting American
manufacturers. A report issued Monday
by the Institute for Supply
Management showed manufacturing
contracted last month at the fastest
pace in more than six years as factories
cut jobs and new orders shrank.
Investors in developed countries
are beginning to wake up to the risk of
slower global growth, said Xavier
Smith, an investment director at
Centre Funds.
Chinese authorities have been trying for months to restore confidence
in the countrys market after a plunge
in June rattled global markets and
prompted a panicked, multibilliondollar government intervention.
Ernie Cecilia, chief investment officer of Bryn Mawr Trust, warned that
investors shouldnt overreact to
Mondays drops.
A weak first day of the year doesnt
portend that 2016 will be a down
year, Cecilia said. There are a lot of
trading days left.
The escalating tensions between
Saudi Arabia and Iran briefly sent the
price of oil surging. Benchmark U.S.
crude fell 28 cents to close at $36.76 a

Factory slumps in U.S. and China heighten global economy fears

By Christopher S. Rugaber
and Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Fears escalated Monday

that the global economy could struggle more
than expected this year a prospect that
contributed to a plunge in financial markets.
The anxiety was heightened by reports
that manufacturers extended their slumps last
month in the United States and China, the
worlds two largest economies. Factory
activity contracted for a second straight
month in the United States and for a 10th
straight month in China.
By midafternoon, the Dow Jones industrial average had sunk more than 400
points over 2 percent though the fall
was also due in part to rising tensions in
the Middle East. Chinese stocks fell 7 per-

cent before trading was halted.

The DAX index in Germany, whose exportled economy is sensitive to Chinas
prospects, tumbled 4.3 percent. Britains
FTSE 100 fell 2.4 percent, Frances CAC 40
2.5 percent.
The manufacturing data made clear that the
troubles that weighed on U.S. factories last
year have yet to ease. Sluggish economies in
major markets from China to Europe to
Japan have depressed U.S. exports. That
trend has been worsened by a strong dollar,
which has made U.S. goods more expensive
for foreigners.
Not all the news was bad. A cheaper euro
has helped European manufacturing, which
expanded at the fastest pace in 20 months in
December, according to data firm Markit.
Still, Chinas persistent sluggishness may
be causing broader damage than previously

thought, analysts say. Chinas government

is trying to shift its economy toward domestic consumption and away from a reliance on
exports and investment in roads, factories
and real estate.
Yet that transformation has proved difficult: Chinas growth in the July-September
quarter fell to 6.9 percent from a year earlier,
the slowest pace in six years.
Chinas deceleration has been hugely disruptive for countries that have long exported
commodities such as oil, copper and other
metals to the Chinese market. China consumes, for example, about 60 percent of the
worlds iron ore, which is used to make steel.
Chinas declining appetite for such commodities has slowed growth in Australia,
Brazil and Malaysia, among other
economies.
The U.S. economy has also taken a hit: Its

GM invests $500m in Lyft, forms partnership

By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The automotive industry is placing its biggest bet yet that
using a device to hail a ride with or
without a driver is the future of
transportation.
General Motors Co. said Monday it
is investing $500 million in ride-hailing company Lyft Inc. and forming an
unprecedented partnership that could
eventually lead to on-demand, selfdriving cars. Its the largest investment yet by a traditional automaker in
a new mobility company, and is an

acknowledgement by GM that the

transportation landscape is changing
fast.
We see the world of mobility
changing more in the next five years
than it has in the last 50, GM
President Dan Ammann told the
Associated Press.
GM made the investment as part of a
$1 billion round of fundraising by
Lyft.
Together, the companies plan to
open a network of U.S. hubs where
Lyft drivers can rent GM vehicles at
discounted rates. That could expand
Lyfts business by giving people who

dont own cars a way to drive and earn

money through Lyft. It also gives GM
a leg up on competitors like Daimler
AG and Ford Motor Co., who are developing their own ride-sharing services.
And it would put more young drivers
behind the wheel of a Chevrolet,
Buick, GMC or Cadillac.
Longer term, GM and Lyft will work
together to develop a fleet of
autonomous vehicles that city dwellers
could summon using Lyfts mobile
app. Partnering with GM could give
Lyft a boost over its archrival, Uber
Technologies Inc., which is working
on its own driverless cars.

U.S. sues VW over emissions-cheating software in diesel cars

By Michael Biesecker
and Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Justice

Department sued Volkswagen on
Monday over emissions-cheating
software found in nearly 600, 000
vehicles sold in the United States,
potentially exposing the company to
billions of dollars in penalties for
clean air violations.
The civil complaint against the

German automaker, filed on behalf of

the Environmental Protection Agency
in U. S. District Court in Detroit,
alleges the company illegally
installed software designed to make its
clean diesel engines pass federal
emissions standards while undergoing
laboratory testing. The vehicles then
switched off those measures in realworld driving conditions, spewing
harmful gases at up to 40 times what is
allowed under federal environmental
standards.

Car manufacturers that fail to properly certify their cars and that defeat
emission control systems breach the
public trust, endanger public health
and disadvantage competitors, John
C. Cruden, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Departments
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, said in a statement.
The United States will pursue all
appropriate
remedies
against
Volkswagen to redress the violations
of our nations clean air laws alleged in
the complaint, he said.

exports to China fell 4 percent in the first 10

months of last year compared with the same
period in 2014.
The global spillovers from Chinas
reduced rate of growth ... have been much
larger than we would have anticipated,
Maury Obstfeld, chief economist at the
International Monetary Fund, said in an
interview Monday with an IMF publication.
Daniel Meckstroth, chief economist at
MAPI, a manufacturing research group, said
that many commodity-exporting countries,
such as Australia, Malaysia and Chile, have
also been forced to reduce their purchases of
U.S. goods as their own economies have
slowed.
They dont have the export revenue, so
they cant import from the rest of us,
Meckstroth said. Chinas slowdown affects
our ability to export to them.

SpaceXs returned booster rocket back in hangar
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. SpaceXs booster rocket, the
Falcon, is back in its nest following a historic landing.
The California company led by Elon Musk shared a picture of the returned booster Sunday.
The used Falcon 9 is shown on its side inside a hangar

The booster carried satellites aloft Dec. 21, then flew
back to its specified landing zone, a first for an orbital mission. It landed upright on legs.
Musk plans to fire the booster again in a test to demonstrate rocket reusability. This particular booster wont fly
again, given its significance. Another booster landing
could occur as early as next month on a space station supply run for NASA.

NEW YORK Fidelity is switching partners for its cash

The move is another loss for American Express Co., coming nearly a year after warehouse store operator Costco said
it would end its exclusive partnership with the credit card
company.
AmEx representative Keri Buster said the Fidelity cards
are a small part of the companys business, accounting for
less than 1 percent of its billings. Bank of America said it
agreed not to renew the partnership because it has been
moving away from providing services for credit cards of

Baalke will remain 49ers general manager

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers CEO

Jed York is retaining Trent Baalke with the
idea that the general manager will hire a new
coach and turn around this once-proud franchise in a hurry.
York made the announcement that Baalke
would stay Monday, one day after firing
first-year coach Jim Tomsula after a 19-16
overtime victory against the St. Louis Rams

to finish the season.

Trent understands that
Im not satisfied with the
current state of this team.
Trents role is to find the
next head coach and continue to build this roster
and get us back to championship form, York said
Trent Baalke in his first public remarks
to the media this season.
Trent has the skills to do this and get this

done. Hes built championship rosters in the

past. Hes got respect from folks around the
league and his peers.
San Francisco went 5-11 and missed the
playoffs for the second straight season after
going 8-8 a year ago in now-Michigan coach
Jim Harbaughs fourth and final season before
what the team called a mutual parting.
I think its well understood what effort we
made to keep him here, York said.
Harbaugh went to Twitter on Sunday night
after Tomsulas firing with a post reading: Do

not be deceived. You will reap what you sow.

Tomsula is owed $10.5 million for the
remaining three years on the deal he signed
last January, and York said the team would
eat that money to pay him whatever he is
owed and the difference if he receives an assistant job elsewhere for a lower salary.
When youre 5-11, its not all coaching,
Baalke said. We finished 5-11, which we all
know is not good enough, not here.

Milch reaches milestone
S

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Nothing like a career milestone to ring in the

new year.
Terra Nova senior Jared Milch scored a slew
of points last week, including a benchmark 29
points in Thursdays 63-62 win over
Homestead. The output not only marked a new
season-high. With it, the fourth-year varsity
senior surpassed 1,000 points in his Terra
Nova career.
Milch said he wasnt made aware of the milestone until later that evening when he arrived
home. Until then, he was reeling in awe of
teammate Austyn Paminianos heroics, as
Milchs fellow senior hit a three-pointer with
two seconds remaining to give the Tigers a win
to celebrate.
That was the biggest shot of our season, in
my opinion, Milch said.
As it turns out, Milch was just getting
warmed up in the Homestead game. He followed
it with his fourth double-double of the season,
reveling in a career night in Terra Novas 76-67
win over Capuchino Jan. 2. The 6-4 forward
totaled 36 points and 16 rebounds, both career
highs, punctuating Milchs bid as Daily
Journal Player of the Week.
Not only was it a big-time performance. It
was a key win for the Tigers, bumping their
record above the .500 mark at 6-5 heading into
Wednesdays Peninsula Athletic League North
Division opener.
Terra Novas makeup has seen a dramatic
shakeup from a 2014-15 squad that advanced to
the second round of the Central Coast Section
Division III playoffs. Milch is the only returning starter, but has been anchoring the team
with a healthy 20.7 points per game.
We knew it was going to be rough but I
think weve all proven everyone wrong that
has doubted us recently, Milch said.
So far as big shots go, Milch has witnessed
his share in his four years at Terra Nova. And
while Paminianos three-pointer may well be
the biggest shot of the Tigers season, no shot
in recent memory is held in more esteem by
Terra Nova fans than that of Eric Dales buzzerbeater to down archrival Half Moon Bay in last
years regular-season finale. Not only did it

HMB boys team to beat in PAL North

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Half Moon Bay boys basketball team

has pretty much controlled the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues North Division standings
the last couple of seasons. Two years ago,
the Cougars went undefeated in league play
and settled for a one-loss, co-championship
with Terra Nova last season.
And with just one loss so far this year to
Central Coast Section power Palma, the
Cougars are poised to win a third straight
league title.
Below is a look at all seven teams in the

Boys hoops preview

an Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York

nally saw at the end of the season
what everyone knew eight games
in head coach Jim Tomsula had to go.
So despite pulling out a 19-16 overtime
win over the Rams Sunday, Tomsula was
red.
He had to be. It was obvious he was in
over his head, simply based on the way
the team played.
But that is only the rst part of a severalpart move. Not only did they have to re
Tomsula, now they have to make the right
hire to lead the 49ers out of the wilderness.
And if they truly are serious about turning
things around, they need to hire a coach
and allow him to select his staff.
Tomsula was set up to be the fall guy
this season, but it
was hardly his fault
alone. The entire
coaching staff needs
to go because its
clear they were no
better coaching
their units as
Tomsula was of
piloting the whole
shebang.
By all accounts,
Tomsula had little
choice in who his
coaching staff was.
It was more or less foisted on him. The
next guy will need the authority and
autonomy to hire his own staff.
Eric Mangini, the 49ers defensive coordinator, would be a logical if wrong
in-house candidate. Despite being from the
Bill Belichick coaching tree, Mangini has
accomplished little since leaving New
England. He was a washout in both New
York and Cleveland. And did you see the
49ers defense this year? The secondary was
a sieve and there was an inability to consistently put pressure on the quarterback.
And as is usually the case in situations
like these, a number of would-be coaches
have already thrown their names into the
ring. Former 49ers coaches Mike
Shanahan and Mike Holmgren have
expressed interest. As has Chip Kelly, who
was red as Philadelphias coach last week.

Raiders apply Another Green triple-double in Dubs win

to move to Los
Angeles burbs
By Josh Dubow

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Oakland Raiders have

officially filed an application to relocate the
franchise to the Los Angeles area.
The Raiders filed the papers Monday night
to go back to Los Angeles.
The team left Oakland following the 1981 season
before returning from Los
Angeles in 1995.
Owner Mark Davis
wants to partner with the
division rival San Diego
Chargers to build a stadium
in Carson. The Chargers
Mark Davis
and St. Louis Rams also
filed a relocation application Monday night.
The leagues owners will vote next week
in Houston on whether to allow any of the
three teams to move.
The Raiders played this past season on a
one-year lease at the Oakland Coliseum and are
seeking a new home. The Coliseum is the only
remaining NFL stadium to also be home to a
baseball team and lacks many of the modern,
money-making features of new stadiums.

OAKLAND For five straight trips down

the court, Draymond Green knew he needed
just one more assist for a triple-double.
When he got the ball to Stephen Curry
behind the 3-point line, Green made history.
Green became the second Warriors player
ever to post three straight triple-doubles and
Golden State rolled to its 35th straight regular-season home win, 111-101 over the
Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
Oh man, it was hard to come by, Green
said. When you start looking for it, its
impossible to get.
But Green managed to do it again.
He had 13 points, 15 rebounds and 10
assists to join Tom Gola in 1959-60 as the
only Warriors players ever to get triple-doubles in three straight games. The last player
in the NBA to do it was Oklahoma Citys
Russell Westbrook, who had a four-game
streak last season.
Hes playing at a very, very high level,
Curry said. His consistency is just off the
charts. ... Its amazing how he can impact the
game.
Curry and Klay Thompson scored 30
points apiece and Marreese Speights had a
season-high 15 off the bench to help the
Warriors sweep the season series from
Charlotte.
Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb each
scored 22 points for the Hornets. Charlotte

has lost a season-high

four straight games.
We did do some good
things but we did a lot of
things that we shouldnt
have done as well,
Walker said. We are
short-handed but weve
got guys that are capable
of playing big games as
Draymond
well. We do have to get
Green
better. Were in a tough
stretch. We just have to be better.
The Hornets cut a 12-point lead down to
one following back-to-back 3-pointers from
P.J. Hairston and Jeremy Lin early in the
third quarter. But Thompson answered with a
layup and a 3-pointer to restore the lead to
71-65 and start a 12-0 run that put Golden
State in control.
A jumper by Harrison Barnes early in the
fourth expanded the lead to 20 points and the
Warriors cruised from there.

Michael McAdoo (sprained toe, left foot)

remain sidelined.
Ho rnets : Lamb left the game briefly to
undergo X-rays on his bruised right hand and
wrist. ... Swingman Nicolas Batum sat out
with a sprained toe on his right foot. He
could also miss Wednesdays game in
Phoenix. ... Big man Spencer Hawes returned
after missing five games with a back injury.

Tip-ins

Mo buckets

Warri o rs : Green is the 15th player in

NBA history to have three straight tripledoubles. He has seven overall this season. ...
Barnes returned from a 16-game absence from
a sprained left ankle. He got a standing ovation when he checked in for the first time
since getting hurt Nov. 27 at Phoenix.
Barnes scored eight points. ... G Leandro
Barbosa (left shoulder sprain) and F James

After struggling most of the season,

Speights has found his stride of late. He had
eight points and drew a key charge in a win
Saturday against Denver before shooting 7
for 10 and providing an offensive boost
against the Hornets.
Mo was great for us, Walton said. Thats
what we know Mo can do. ... He looked like
he had a nice confidence about him today.

Surprise starter
Interim coach Luke Walton prepared for the
game assuming Curry would sit after leaving
Saturdays game with a bruised left shin.
Curry then tested himself in warmups and was
cleared to play. He had no issues at all and
posted his 14th 30-point game of the season.
I didnt even think Steph was going to
play tonight to be honest, Walton said. He
said he felt good out there and they cleared
him. If Steph Curry is going to play, Im
never surprised hes going to score 30
points.

was no different as three different players
scored in the game. Bran got the Scots on the
board early with a highlight-reel play in the
fifth minute, taking a pass from Kian
Karamsashti to convert a left-footed weakside goal. Karamsashti notched two assists

with 9.3 rebounds per game.

But now, he is the ranking veteran the
only four-year varsity player on the roster.
And that, for the normally reserved Milch,
presents a new set of challenges as a floor
general. Its a role he has never played before
at any level of basketball.
Milch had the chance to run alongside one
of the best floor generals in the PAL during
last years AAU club season. Playing for
Lunardis Elite, Milch paired with Burlingame
point guard Vinny Ferrari, who Milch referred
to as crazy good.
Balancing his spring between baseball and
basketball was no easy task. The left-handed
Milch was a key component to the Tigers success on the diamond last season, rounding out
a stellar starting rotation with right-handers
Anthony Gordon and Ray Falk.
Milch posted a 4-2 record with a 1.44 ERA,
and capped his season with an eight-inning

shutout of Aragon in the PAL Tournament

opener, as Terra Nova won 1-0 in extra
innings.
While Milch is still considering his college
options he doesnt even know if he will
play basketball, or baseball, or both he is
hoping to keep his two-sport ambitions alive
at the next level.
At present though, Milch is entirely focused
on the court. The senior said he isnt looking
ahead to, say, the rematch with Half Moon
Bay on Jan. 22. Instead, he is taking them one
game at a time. But the hope is Terra Nova will
shock the PAL North basketball world
again.
With Terra Nova, Id say its just guys who
come in and work hard every day and put their
best effort forth, Milch said. And at the end
of the day, we can say we gave it our all, 100
percent, no matter the talent level.

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers

quarterback Colin Kaepernick has a torn ligament in the thumb on his throwing hand and
surgery has been recommended. That could
happen as soon as this week once he receives
a second opinion on the injury.
He also will have his surgically repaired
left shoulder checked during a visit to the
Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.
Kaepernick, who was demoted in November
after his struggles, said continued pain in
the thumb caused concern but he didnt know
the extent of the injury until undergoing an
MRI exam last week. He will travel Tuesday
to Colorado.
Kaepernick said he injured the thumb in a
home loss to Seattle on Oct. 22.
Its been recommended surgery and get
confirmation on whether Ill need surgery or
not, he said. Well get it fixed as soon as
possible. They havent given me specific
dates as far as how long it will be.
He underwent surgery on the left shoulder
in late November to repair a torn labrum.

Colin Kaepernick will face three months of

downtime if he opts to have surgery on an
injured thumb ligament in his throwing hand.
Hes got several things that hes working
through, general manager Trent Baalke said.
Well get a better grasp on how the rehabs
are going in the different things and get him
ready for the offseason program, thats the
goal.

In terms of his future with the 49ers, who

fired first-year coach Jim Tomsula after
Sundays season-ending overtime win
against St. Louis, Kaepernick says, Im
under contract, Im a 49er.
He did not elaborate on whether that means
he wants to return amid speculation the team
will try to trade him or cut him.
The 28-year-old Kaepernicks $11.9 million 2016 contract would become fully guaranteed for injury if hes still on the roster on
April 1, to which Baalke said, Im not worried about April 1, Im more worried about
getting him healthy and getting him ready
for the offseason program.
Thats Kaepernicks focus, too.
For me, thats not a date Im concerned
with, Kaepernick said. I feel like Im going
to be playing football regardless of April 1,
April 2. Im doing everything I can to be
healthy as soon as I can, Kaepernick said.
Once again, Im preparing to be healthy and
win the Super Bowl. Thats all my focus is.
The franchise drafted him in the second
round out of Nevada in 2011 and he took over

York, who spoke Monday as the NFL moved
into Levis Stadium to assume operational
control for next months Super Bowl, wouldnt say whether letting Harbaugh go was a
mistake.
San Francisco reached three straight NFC
championship games in Harbaughs initial
three years, with a three-point Super Bowl
loss to Baltimore after the 2012 season.
Jim Harbaugh is a good football coach. His
success at Michigan doesnt surprise me at
all, York said. We need to make sure that we
look forward to the next head coach.
York promoted Tomsula from defensive line
coach in a surprising move, choosing the former NFL Europe coach over current Bears
offensive coordinator Adam Gase and former
defensive coordinator Vic Fangio also now
with Chicago.
Im not looking back at anything, you
cant undo those decisions, York said. Im
moving forward.
Sometimes youre going to make the right
decision and sometimes youre going to make
the wrong decision, and Ive done both. We
hired Jim Harbaugh and we hired Jim
Tomsula, Baalke said. Some would say one
was a strong hit and the other one was a miss.
... You get humbled by decisions you make
that you think are going to work.
He added, Weve got to get this one right.
San Francisco has a short list of coaching

NFL brief
Coughlin resigns as Giants coach
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Tom
Coughlin, who returned the Giants to NFL
prominence by winning two Super Bowls,
resigned Monday after missing the playoffs
for the fourth consecutive year.
The Giants announced the decision one day
after the Giants (6-10)
capped their third straight
losing season with a 3530
defeat
against
Philadelphia, their third
straight and sixth in
seven games.
Coughlin
said
he
stepped down in the best
Tom Coughlin interest of the organization.
The move may signal the end of a 20-year
NFL head coaching career for the 69-year-old
Coughlin, one of 13 coaches to win multiple
Super Bowls.
The leagues oldest active coach and thirdlongest tenured among the 32 who finished
the season, Coughlin came into 2015 knowing he had to get the Giants back to the postseason to keep his job. It didnt happen.
candidates. Baalke said no interviews had
been schedule and there are no in-house candidates.
Were in need of somebody who can win
Super Bowls, period. We havent won a Super
Bowl since 1994, York said. We have a clear
understanding of what we want. We want a
leader, we want someone who has a clear
vision.
York realizes the scrutiny he faces trying to
win back frustrated fans, yet he said he is
emotional and vowed to stay off Twitter and
not become a distraction, as happened during the 2014 season.
Before a home game against the Bengals
last month, a plane flew over Levis Stadium
with a banner that read Hold Jed
Accountable, a reference to his remarks at the
end of last season inviting everyone to do so.
On Sunday, the message flying overhead read:
Jed Heres Our Banner Wheres Yours?
This season was frustrating on a number of
levels. We took a step back from our ultimate
goal of winning a Super Bowl, York said.
For that, I want to apologize to our fans and
everybody that cares deeply about this team
the way I do. I hear the criticism, loudly.
Whether thats talking to fans directly,
whether thats social media, or from planes
flying over my head. The results this season
rest on my shoulders, squarely. It wasnt good
enough.
Only Tomsula has been fired so far, York
said, and the new coach will evaluate the
remaining members of the staff.
Regarding speculation York might be considering selling, he said, My familys owned
this team since before I was born and theyll
own this team after Im gone.

Cardinal set school record for futility in 49-31 loss to ASU

By Jose M. Romero
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. Stanford had a

night that Hall of Fame coach Tara
VanDerveer would soon forget.
The ninth-ranked Cardinal set a
school record for scoring in a 49-31
loss to No. 14 Arizona State on
Monday night. It was the lowest

GIRLS
Continued from page 11
After suffering a 38-27 loss to
Saratoga Dec. 7, the Cougars won
seven in a row, averaging 64.6
points over their last three wins as
they captured the Pitman tournament. They proved they are more
than ready for PAL play after falling
48-41 to a Menlo-Atherton squad
Saturday that is a favorite to win the
PAL South title.
After finishing in second place to
Westmoor last season, the Cougars
appear poised to take that next step.
They return seven players from last
years 9-3 squad, and only one senior.

Terra Nova (4-6)

If nothing else, the Tigers should
be battle tested. Four of their losses
came against teams that are a combined 37-8.
Terra Nova will not be relying on
just one or two players to take the

total in school
history.
Stanford made
only 11 of 43
shots, was outrebounded 4132 and scored
only 13 firsthalf points. The
Tara VanDerveer Cardinal made

only one 3-pointer in 9 attempts

and had season lows in field goal
percentage (25.6), assists (8) and 3pointers.
We have a lot of work to do on
our offense. We struggled knocking
down shots that weve been making
all year, VanDerveer said. Credit
their defense. Arizona State played
very well. Theyre very aggressive

and we just were not aggressive

enough.
Sophie Brunner scored 12 points
and had 10 rebounds, helping ASU
to a sweep of the two Bay Area
schools, both nationally ranked.
The Sun Devils (11-3, 2-0 Pac-12)
won their eighth straight game and
have wins in three of the last four
meetings between the two teams,

all three in regular-season play.

Stanford (11-3, 1-1) lost for just
the fourth time in the month of
January over the past seven seasons
and for only the 14th time in 71
meetings with ASU since Jan. 5,
1979. The Cardinals previous
worst game was a 32-point effort

Tigers back to the top of the North

Division standings. Only one player, sophomore Venus Pascua, is
scoring in double figures at 11.1.
Malia Koloamatangi, at 8.7, is the
only other Tiger scoring over eight
points.
Instead, the Tigers are relying on
their entire roster to score points.
Of the 12-player roster, nine have
appeared in all 10 games theyve
played and everyone on the roster
has a scoring average.

December. They have shown an

ability to shut down teams defensively, holding teams to under 40
points in six of their wins.
But Oceana can also get out and
simply outscore teams, as it did in
an 83-56 victory over Mission-SF.

Westmoor (1-5)

aging just over seven rebounds per

game. On the other hand, every
player on the roster has seen playing time and has scored, led by
Michelle Shuen and her 10.4 points
per game.
Shuen is one of eight players
returning for the Colts this season,
who have turned to former boys
coach Archie Junio to lead the girls
this season.
The Colts should be battled tested
if nothing else. They took their
lumps in a few games so far this season, losing lopsided decisions to
the likes of Los Gatos, Sacred Heart
Prep and Valley Christian three
teams that almost assuredly will be
in the CCS playoffs this season.

Oceana (8-2)
The Sharks might be the surprise
of division thus far this season.
They have the second-most wins in
the division behind just Half Moon
Bay.
The key to Oceanas success so far
this season has been three players
scoring in double figures. Kyana
Wiley leads the way with just under
13 points per game. Nandi Eskridge
is scoring 11 and Ariana Margate
averages 10.8 points per game.
Their two losses this season have
come by a combined 14 points in
back-to-back games in early

South City (4-4)

The Warriors are two years
removed from one of their more successful campaigns in the last decade
when they finished in second place.
They took a bit of a step backward
last season, finishing 5-7 in league
play.
This season, South City started
by losing three of its first four, but
have bounced back to win three of
the final four heading into
Mondays non-league game against
Lincoln-SF.
The Warriors are young, but have
experience. There are six sophomores on the roster five of which
are second-year returners. South
City may still be a year away, but
expect to see growth throughout
this season.

The Bruce Newbeck Era is off to a

slow start as the Rams have gotten
out of the gate with just one win.
Newbeck replaces Mike Keough,
who led the Rams to 36 straight
North Division wins from 2013 to
2015, three division title and the
2014 PAL tournament title.
Westmoor, however, has played a
pretty rugged non-league schedule.
Every team the Rams have played so
far this season have had a winning
record. Their five losses have come
against teams that are a combined
41-16.
Westmoor returns only three players from last seasons squad and
only one who was a significant factor, Kasey Liang.

El Camino (3-7)
The Colts are right about where
they were last year at this time, but
with a core group returning from last
seasons 3-9 team, El Camino could
make a jump in the standings if
they can rebound the ball.
According to the stats loaded on

No thanks. The game has passed

I really think Kelly is more of a
college coach, someone who can
serve as judge, jury and executioner
for a team. That works ne at the
college level. But not at the pro
level. He alienated the players in
the Eagles locker room and their
fan base with a number of headscratching moves over the last
three years and seems just arrogant
enough to rub York the wrong way.

I dont know if that feeling would

be mutual. He will not only want
too much money, but also too much
power. The only way Payton works
in San Francisco is if Trent Baalke
is actually on the hot seat. If they

fall on Baalke. That would then put
Payton in line to assume the GM
job if he wanted it.
If Baalke is around long term, I
can see Payton and him butting
heads, so Paytons out.

There has been a lot of talk about

Sean Payton leaving New Orleans
and that the 49ers would be interested in talking to him.

The most intriguing name to

have surfaced is Hue Jackson, former Raiders head man and current
Cincinnati offensive coordinator.
He proved during his time with the
Raiders he can deal with a mess of a

arm and quick legs including a

eight games and has no plans to

relinquish the job.

Half Moon Bay is 46-10 in league

Senior wing Tommy Nuo and senior center Austin Hilton are both
averaging just over 13 points per

behind, averaging just under 10

The Cougars may have to work a
little harder to three-peat but, of
all the teams in the North
Division, they have the best
chance of doing so.

based on those results, they
should be in the mix for an upperhalf finish in Ocean Division

The Cardinal had hope in the third
quarter thanks to a Sun Devil scoring drought that lasted almost five
minutes, but Stanford still trailed by
12 during that stretch. ASU built its
lead to 39-19 on a 3 from Elisha

The Sun Devils didnt score for the

Stanford still couldnt make a significant dent in the deficit. Lili

The Sun Devils took a 26-9 lead
late in the second quarter on a Davis

The Sun Devils controlled the first

solid support system to counteract natural

shifts in the soil.
To date, workers replaced about 15,000
of the 112,900 headstones at the cemetery
during a first phase of renovations, and a
second phase, expected to be completed in
about one year, will address another
12,000, according to Kathleen McCall,
director of the cemetery with the U. S.
Department of Veterans Affairs.
The substantial undertaking is much
needed, and well deserved, said McCall.
The goal is to maintain each national
cemetery as a national shrine, and this is a
step toward that, she said.
Shifts in the cemetery soil brought on
either by natural ground movement or the
constant mowing and maintenance can
lead to headstones creeping or sinking,
said McCall, which in many cases in
unavoidable but also unacceptable.
She said though the relatively temperate
local climate does not cause much headstone movement compared to cemeteries

in other regions where the ground contracts and expands significantly due to
extreme cold, grave markers in San Bruno
have been known to slip as much as half
an inch.
And while that small distance may not
seem like much to some, McCall disagrees.
Half an inch is too much and doesnt
meet our standard for alignment, she said.
During the renovations, rows of headstones are removed from their placement
in the ground and set at the foot of the
graves. Crews then dig a trench to make
room for a series of concrete boxes which
are filled in the ground, and linked together with more concrete. The headstone is
then returned to its box and packed into
decomposed granite, which creates a more
solid placement than the current system of
simply setting them in the earth.
This is a vast improvement over the
existing method which has been used for
many decades, said McCall.
Digging up the cemetery soil also granted an opportunity for workers to fix the
turf which began to ripple due to repeated
mowing, said McCall.
The entire headstone renovation project

is expected to take years to complete and
cost millions of dollars.
McCall said she was unsure when the
work will be finished, as it is contingent
on funding available from the Department
of Veterans Affairs, as well as factors such
as weather and other construction taking
place at the cemetery.
She said the first phase of headstone renovations cost roughly $5 million, which
included setting the gravesite markers and
additional irrigation work.
There are challenges which come along
with such a substantial undertaking, noted
McCall.
One of the greatest hurdles is coping
with the inconvenience the renovations
present for families wishing to visit their
loved ones buried at the cemetery, said
McCall.
Markers and signs are posted throughout
the grounds notifying visitors about the
renovation effort, but McCall said she has
still received a considerable amount of
questions and inquiries regarding the work
being done.
Headstone fixing is not the only work
currently underway at the cemetery, said

McCall, as crews are also replacing more

than 3,300 feet of chain link fence which
faces the boundary of the cemetery along
El Camino Real.
McCall said the fence is being swapped
out to match the wrought iron style which
lines the cemetery along Sneath Lane.
She admitted the current chain-link
fence is not the most attractive for a
national cemetery, and said she hopes the
new fence will be an upgrade.
We are very pleased to be able to
replace that and provide an improvement,
she said.
The chain-link fence replacement is
expected to be completed as soon as
January, which would wrap the project up
in less than a year, said McCall.
The cemeterys rostrum, which is the
area ceremonies are held, has also been
demolished and will be rebuilt, and McCall
said she is also hoping work will begin in
the coming years to improve the cemeterys roads.
She said she believes the variety of renovations, once they are completed, will
lead to an enhanced venue to recognize the
legacy of those who served their country.
All these projects are meant to improve
the look of the cemetery and provide a
national shrine for our local community
and for the families who visit their loved
ones gravesites, said McCall.

Medicare is changing: Whats new for beneficiaries

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Whether its coverage

for end-of-life counseling or an experimental payment scheme for common surgeries,
Medicare in 2016 is undergoing some of the
biggest changes in its 50 years.
Grandmas Medicare usually just paid the
bills as they came in. Today, the nations
flagship health-care program is seeking better ways to balance cost, quality and access.
The effort could redefine the doctorpatient relationship, or it could end up a
muddle of well-intentioned but unworkable
government regulations. The changes have
been building slowly, veiled in a fog of
acronyms and bureaucratic jargon.
So far, the 2016 change getting the most
attention is that Medicare will pay clini-

FUNDS
Continued from page 1

Hatamiya said she is hopeful an investment firm will be hired by March, with an
eye to complete the transfer of the funds by
the end of June.
As the money gets set to change hands,
Hatamiya said she expects the portion
which will be invested to be managed as a
quasi-endowment and set aside to gain
interest, while the rest roughly $54 million will pay toward a variety of other
projects being considered by the foundations board of directors.
Hatamiya said anticipation is building as
foundation officials set their sights on
spending some of the funds in the coming
year.
Its exciting, she said. This is the
first group of program disbursements well
be making and using the restitution fund to
benefit the community.
PG&E paid $68.5 million to San Bruno
after a gas pipeline exploded under the
Crestmoor neighborhood, killing some
residents, injuring others and devastating
the area. The money has been held by city
officials as the foundation develops strategy for allocating it.
The money paid to the foundation is sep-

cians to counsel patients about options for

care at the end of life. The voluntary counseling would have been authorized earlier
by President Barack Obamas health care
law but for the outcry fanned by former
Republican vice presidential candidate
Sarah Palin, who charged it would lead to
death panels. Hastily dropped from the
law, the personalized counseling has been
rehabilitated through Medicare rules.
But experts who watch Medicare as the
standards-setter for the health system are
looking elsewhere in the program. Theyre
paying attention to Medicares attempts to
remake the way medical care is delivered to
patients, by fostering teamwork among clinicians, emphasizing timely preventive
services and paying close attention to
patients transitions between hospital and
home. Primary care doctors, the gatekeeparate from the settlement fund paid by
PG&E to residents of the Crestmoor neighborhood.
There are few restrictions on how the
community fund can be used, so long as it
is not used to pay salaries of city officials.
The foundation has rolled out an extensive
public outreach campaign in an effort to
identify how the community wishes to see
the fund spent.
Residents have suggested a variety of
capital projects, such as the construction
of a community center, library or fire station or a variety of other ideas, to be built
with a bulk of the foundation fund.
Hatamiya said she expects those projects
to take between seven and 10 years to complete, and the foundation is focusing on
completing short-term initiatives in the
interim.
The foundation has considered smaller
projects such as establishing a scholarship
for San Bruno students interested in pursuing a college education with a portion of
the fund, as well as setting up a grant program which will benefit the local community.
Foundation officials have felt some pressure as the five-year anniversary of the
explosion recently passed to begin paying a portion of the fund to serve local residents, said Hatamiya.
There is an expectation that eventually
the foundation will have to work to pare

ers of health care, are the focus of much of

Medicares effort.
Patrick Conway, Medicares chief medical
officer, says that nearly 8 million beneficiaries about 20 percent of those in traditional Medicare are now in Accountable
Care Organizations. ACOs are recently
introduced networks of doctors and hospitals that strive to deliver better quality care
at lower cost.
Five years ago there was minimal incentive to coordinate care, said Conway.
Physicians wanted to do well for their
patients, but the financial incentives were
completely aligned with volume. Under
the ACO model, clinical networks get part
of their reimbursement for meeting quality
or cost targets. The jurys still out on their
long-term impact.
Still, a major expansion is planned for

2016, and beneficiaries for the first time

will be able to pick an ACO. Currently they
can opt out if they dont like it.
Were all trying to understand where is
that threshold when things will flip, said
Kavita Patel, a Brookings Institution
health policy expert who also practices as a
primary care doctor. It could be like the
switch from snail mail and interoffice
memos to communicating via email, she
says, but Im not sure we have reached critical mass.
Glendon Bassett, a retired chemical engineer, says he can vouch for the teamwork
approach that Medicare is promoting.
Earlier this year, a primary care team at
SAMA Healthcare in El Dorado, Arkansas,
prevented what Bassett feared would turn
into an extended hospitalization. It started
with a swollen leg.

down the list of projects the uninvested

portion of the fund will pay toward,
because there is not enough money to
afford the variety of desires of the community.
Should the foundation ultimately decide
to not spend the entirety of the roughly
$54 million, Hatamiya said that money
could too eventually be added to the invested sum, which would go on to benefit the
community in perpetuity.
In other business at the meeting, foundation officials will approve drafting a letter
to be sent to city officials identifying a
variety of projects the two agencies could
work together toward.
One such project is the potential to build
a public park at 324 Florida Ave., on a
small piece of property that was donated to
the city. Residents have expressed an inter-

est in seeing a portion of the restitution

fund be spent toward development of more
open public space.
The foundation has also considered
sponsoring a community gathering event,
installing lighted crosswalks and other
improvements for pedestrians in downtown San Bruno, and other projects.
Hatamiya said she is hopeful the San
Bruno City Council will consider the foundations proposals at a meeting later this
month, with an eye toward beginning to
bring them to fruition later this year.
We would like to have projects in
progress, if not completed, in 2016, she
said.
The San Bruno Community Foundation
meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 6 in the San
Bruno Senior Center, 1555 Crystal

such urban camping.

The bond lawmakers proposed
Monday would be repaid by redirecting
money from Proposition 63, the 2004
ballot measure that added a 1 percent
tax on incomes over $1 million to pay
for mental health treatment.
The Senate proposal would target the
housing money to chronically homeless persons with mental illness. More
than 90 percent of the Proposition 63
money raised each year would continue
to go to existing programs, supporters
said.
Former Senate leader Darrell
Steinberg, who authored the ballot
measure, said the money would mostly
fund multifamily complexes to house
lower income workers as well as those
currently on the streets. Even those
whose mental illnesses make them
reluctant to accept permanent housing
can usually be persuaded to accept help
though consistent, intensive outreach
programs, he said.
Senators also want to use $200 million from the states general fund over

the next four years to provide rent subsidies and other shorter-term assistance while the permanent housing is
built.
De Leon also called for increased
spending in the Supplemental Security
Income/State Supplementary Payment
program that aids about 1.3 million
poor elderly, blind, and disabled people who cant work.
But he said the amount will have to
be negotiated with the Assembly and
with Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown,
who presents his proposed budget on
Thursday.
The Brown administration supports
empowering local governments to
address homelessness, poverty, and
mental health issues and will take a
close look at the Senate proposals,
Deborah Hoffman, a spokeswoman for
the governor, said in an email.
Details on distributing the housing
money will also have to be worked out
before the June budget deadline, de
Leon said. However, he envisions a
competitive grant program for local
governments. With matching local
and federal funds, he estimated the $2
billion could be leveraged into $5 billion or more worth of construction.
Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los
Angeles, said California is following
the lead of Utah and other areas that are
using supportive housing to help the
homeless mentally ill. New York City
has a $2. 6 billion plan to create
15,000 apartments to aid that population.
First and foremost we have to stabilize them before other services like
mental health and drug treatment can
be provided, de Leon said.

cess of the fundraising campaign, and

recognizing all those who contributed
to it.
The building was originally constructed by Bank of California founder
William Ralston, who used the palatial estate to entertain influential individuals who would go on to shape the
development of California.
Ralston Hall mansion was built in
1868 and eventually became home to
the College of Notre Dame in 1923,
before going on to house the school
administrative offices.
When open, the buildings grand
ballroom served as a popular community gathering space, rented for a variety of events such as weddings, conferences, dinners and more.
A building inspection in 2011 found
the historic structure needed to be
closed, and the renovation would be
necessary to revamp it to the degree
necessary to hold classrooms, semi-

nars and meeting spaces.

A seismic retrofit is in order, as well
as putting on a new roof, removing
and replacing building siding and putting in new flooring, among other
efforts.
The groundwork for the renovation
process is already being laid, according to Hernandez, as school officials
recently approved hiring Nova
Partners to spearhead the project.
Though he expressed appreciation
to a wide variety of individuals and
groups who contributed to the
fundraising campaign, Hernandez said
he especially admired the hard work of
Taube to make the renovations possible.
It was through the wonderful leadership of Tad Taube who issued this challenge and chaired the campaign and
really led us along the way, said
Hernandez. We are really grateful to
Mr. Taube.

suffering from mental illness.
Los Angeles homeless population
increased more than 10 percent in the
last two years. The Los Angeles City
Council declared a homelessness crisis
in November as it prepared to change
city ordinances to let people temporarily live in their cars and sleep on sidewalks. In October, the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors declared a
shelter crisis because of concerns
that strong winter storms could flood

With execution, Saudis

ignite regional tensions
By Jon Gambrell

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

By executing a senior Shiite
cleric, Saudi Arabia effectively lit
a match to set off regional sectarian tensions and its rivalry with
Iran, threatening to derail alreadyshaky peace efforts over the wars
in Syria and Yemen.
It also is part of a more aggressive stance by the kingdom in the
past year, which included launching an air campaign against Shiite
rebels in Yemen and increased aid
to rebels in Syria.
The policy in part reflects a
greater willingness for risk-taking to counter Iranian influence in
the Arab world, especially with
Riyadh worried about a potential
easing of relations between
Tehran and Washington in the
wake of last years nuclear deal.
But it also has a powerful

domestic factor: a show of toughness by King Salman and his son,

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Salman, aiming to bolster
their rule at a time when Saudi
Arabia is facing an economic crisis brought on by low oil prices.
To the greater world, however,
the execution of Sheikh Nimr alNimr took on a different appearance.
It looks like an extremely irrational and ill-considered decision
to do this, said Christopher
Davidson, a professor of Middle
East
politics
at
Durham
University in Britain. In my
view, it speaks more about the
local dynamics in Saudi Arabia
itself that are shifting steadily
away from the ruling familys control.
The execution sparked outrage
among Shiites around the world,
with protests in Iraq, Bahrain and
Pakistan, and even in Saudi

REUTERS

Supporters of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr fabric painted to represent the national flags of Israel, the United
Kingdom and the U.S. during a demonstration against the execution of Shiite Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr in
Saudi Arabia.
Arabias tightly controlled Shiite
heartland in the east. Irans government which presents itself
as a defender of Shiites in the
region loudly condemned the
killing. Attackers stormed, ransacked and burned the Saudi

Embassy in Tehran, prompting

Riyadh to cut off ties in response.
Al-Nimrs death was a dramatic
step because Saudi Arabia has
rarely resorted to the death penalty
in dealing with unrest among its
Shiite minority, which has long

complained of discrimination in
the Sunni-led kingdom. A vocal
opponent of the Saudi royal family, al-Nimr was seen by Shiites in
the region as a political dissident,
although he always contended he
did not foment violence.

Obama administration treads warily amid Iran-Saudi tensions

WASHINGTON Concerned that

inflamed tensions between Iran and
Saudi Arabia may threaten key foreign policy objectives in Iraq and
Syria, among other places, the
Obama administration toed a careful
line Monday in seeking to calm a
diplomatic storm that many fear
could lead the longtime regional
rivals to direct sectarian conflict.
The White House and State

Department both appealed to

Riyadh and Tehran to show restraint
and avoid further exacerbating the
rift between Sunni-led Saudi Arabia
and Shiite-ruled Iran. However, officials said the administration is
loath to insert itself but wants to
ensure the viability of the fight
against the Islamic State group in
Iraq and Syria, nascent attempts to
end Syrias civil war, peace efforts
in Yemen and the Iran nuclear deal.
We dont want to see any

progress that has been made or may

be made on those issues affected by
this, which is why (we) have been
in communication with leaders
there, to try to get tensions calmed
down, to try to get dialogue started
or restarted so that we can focus on
these other very pressing issues in
the region, State Department
spokesman John Kirby told
reporters.
Secretary of State John Kerry
spoke Sunday with Iranian Foreign

Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif

and on Monday with Saudi Deputy
Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman, Kirby said. Kerry also
planned a round of calls Monday to
the foreign ministers of all the
Sunni-led states in the Gulf region,
including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,
the United Arab Emirates and Oman,
officials said.
Bahrain followed Saudi Arabias
lead and severed diplomatic ties
with Iran, while the UAE downgrad-

ed its diplomatic relations with it,

after mobs attacked the Saudi
embassy in Tehran following the
execution of a prominent Shiite
cleric.
In addition to Kerry, other senior
U.S. diplomats were in close contact with Saudi and Arab officials
over the weekend, according to the
U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak publicly to the delicate diplomacy.
