Dungeness crabs safe to eat in parts of California

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO People in

Southern and Central California
can feast on Dungeness and rock
crabs on New Years Day.
Officials said Thursday that a
health advisory is being lifted
along the coasts of Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo counties.
California Department of Public

Health Director and State Public

Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith
updated the advisory Thursday
after recent tests showed levels of
domoic acid have declined to low
or undetectable levels in crabs
caught in those areas.
The advisory remains in effect
for state waters around the cities of
Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa, and

San Miguel Island due to continued

elevated levels of domoic acid.
Consumers should not eat

crabs. The viscera usually contain
much higher levels of domoic acid
than crab body meat, officials
said.

In mild doses, domoic acid causes gastrointestinal illness and in

rare cases may be fatal.

Whats more, when whole crabs

are cooked in liquid, domoic acid
may leach from the viscera into
the cooking liquid. Water or broth
used to cook whole crabs should

As a precaution, consumers are

advised not eat the viscera, also

be tossed and not used to prepare

sauces, broths, soups, stews,
stocks, roux, dressings or dips.
In Northern California, determined shoppers should be able to
find some out-of-state crab. But
supplies are limited, and prices are
high, in some cases, twice the
usual amount. Much of it is frozen,
not live or freshly caught.

As 2016 begins, many look

ahead to the new year but also
reflect on the year that was 2015.
Last year saw the drought dominate headlines as Californians
wondered when the rain would
come again. Water restrictions
were largely met and the anticipation of El Nio arriving was palpable. San Mateo County had its
share of issues both big and small
with the housing crisis having a
very real impact on many and
cities making plans for future
development or wrapping up a
recent surge of new construction.
Schools saw better state financing

which allowed for teacher raises.

The drought was the big story of
the year with Gov. Jerry Brown
mandating usage cuts of 25 percent compared to 2013 usage. San
Mateo County cities were given
targets of 8 percent to 36 percent
reductions, with most meeting or
exceeding their goals. Lawns
turned brown or were replaced and
there was significant chatter about
how to ensure everyone complied
with the cutbacks. While conservation slowed later in the year as
some significant rain fell, water
officials also began exploring
alternate sources for the Peninsula
with plans to study the possibility
of supplementing current supplies

HEMET An elusive emu that avoided capture for days has been rounded up
by a rancher in Southern California.
The 6-foot flightless bird was first
spotted last weekend wandering the
rural Aguanga area south of Hemet, but
an animal services officer was unable to
track it down.
Animal Services spokesman John
Welsh says the big birds native to
Australia are known for running very
fast.
A rancher managed to corral the emu
into a fenced-in 5-acre area Tuesday. He
gave the bird food and later helped animal services officers coax it into a trailer.
The Press-Enterprise reports the emu
was brought to the San Jacinto Valley
Animal Campus, where it will be held
until its owner claims it.
Officials say the bird is tame, and is
likely someones pet.

George Lucas apologizes for

calling Disney white slavers
LOS ANGELES George Lucas has
apologized for criticizing Disneys
handling of Star Wars and saying he
had sold his characters to white
slavers in a recent interview with
Charlie Rose.
In a statement issued Thursday, Lucas
says he misspoke and used a very inappropriate analogy. It was not clear
what the Star Wars creator meant by
the white slavers comment, and Rose
did not ask a follow-up question on his
PBS show that aired Dec. 24. The
charged words nonetheless sparked ire
when the interview was posted online
Wednesday.
I rarely go out with statements to
clarify my feelings but I feel it is
important to make it clear that I am
thrilled that Disney has the franchise
and is moving it in such exciting directions, said Lucas in his statement.
He sold his company, Lucasfilm, to
the Walt Disney Co. in 2012 for $4.06
billion, and the studio charged ahead in
developing Star Wars: The Force
Awakens with director J.J. Abrams and
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
Disney has laid plans for two more
Star Wars films and three anthology
films set in the Star Wars universe over
the next few years.

Small businesses eligible for disaster loans

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Small, nonfarm businesses in San Mateo

County hurt economically by the drought are
now eligible to apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
In total, small businesses in 33 California
counties are eligible for the loans, Director
Tanya N. Garfield, with SBAs western
Disaster Field Operations Center, announced
Tuesday.
The loans are meant to offset economic
losses because of reduced revenue caused by
the drought.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming
or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster
assistance.
Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged
in aquaculture and most private nonprofit
organizations of any size may qualify for
Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2
million to help meet financial obligations
and operating expenses which could have
been met had the disaster not occurred.
The primary California counties affected

by the drought are: Fresno, Kern, Kings,

Madera, Marin, San Benito, Santa Barbara,
Santa Clara, Sonoma, Trinity, Tulare and
Ventura. Neighboring California counties
affected by the drought are: Alameda,
Humboldt, Inyo, Lake, Los Angeles,
Mariposa, Mendocino, Merced, Mono,
Monterey, Napa, San Bernardino, San
Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo,
Santa Cruz, Shasta, Siskiyou, Stanislaus,
Tehama and Tuolumne.
All small businesses in these 33 counties
are eligible for the loans. Nurseries are also
eligible for SBA assistance in drought disasters.
SBA eligibility covers both the economic
impacts on businesses dependent on farmers
and ranchers that have suffered agricultural
production losses caused by the disaster and
businesses directly impacted by the disaster, Garfield wrote in a statement.
Eligibility for these loans is based on the
financial impact of the disaster only and not
on any actual property damage. These loans
have an interest rate of 4 percent for businesses and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30

years and are available to small businesses

and most private nonprofits without the
financial ability to offset the adverse impact
without hardship, Garfield wrote.
By law, the agency makes the disaster
loans available when the U.S. Secretary of
Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster Dec. 23, 2015.
Applicants may apply online using the
Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBAs
secure website at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application
forms are also available from SBAs
Customer Service Center by calling (800)
659-2955 or emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Individuals who are deaf or
hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339.

applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small
Business Administration, Processing and

The deadline to apply for these loans is
Aug. 23, 2016.

Woman pleads no
contest to forging
checks from elderly woman
A 33-year-old woman working
as a caregiver pleaded no contest
Wednesday to a felony charge for
defrauding a 95-year-old San
Carlos woman out of more than
$35, 000, San Mateo County
prosecutors said.
Ofa Atau Fifita pleaded no contest to felony elder fiscal abuse in
exchange for a maximum prison
sentence of two years, according
to the District Attorneys Office.
Fifita worked for a home care
assistance company and was the
elderly womans weekly caregiver. Earlier this year, the victim
noticed checks were missing
from her checkbook and a review
of her bank statement showed
more than 30 checks had been
forged by Fifita and cashed, prosecutors said.
The victims cousin called the
San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office in July and said that the
victim pays the company directly
and that Fifita shouldnt have
been receiving any checks from
her, prosecutors said.
A sheriffs deputy confronted
Fifita, who admitted to stealing
and forging the checks because of
financial problems. The estimated loss to the victim was $35,300
over several months, prosecutors
said.
San Mateo County Superior
Court Judge Mark Forcum said
during Wednesdays hearing that

if Fifita makes significant restitution to the victim before her

sentencing date on March 3, then
he will consider a sentence in
county jail rather than state
prison, prosecutors said.

Two arrested in

Police arrested two people
Tuesday in Daly City on suspicion of prostitution as part of a
human trafficking sting, police
said.
An undercover officer went at
9:50 a.m. to an apartment in the
first block of Hillside Boulevard
after responding to an ad on the
Internet containing provocative
photos of a female.
Police said a masseuse at the
apartment allegedly offered sex
to an undercover officer.
Officers who responded also
found items indicating the
masseuse was working as a prostitute, police said.
The masseuse, a 46-year-old
Oakland resident, was given a
citation for prostitution.
Another officer responded at
1:33 p.m. to an ad from the same
website and was sent to a home in
the 300 block of Shipley Avenue,
according to police.
A masseuse there offered sex to
the officer and was arrested. The
masseuse, a 30-year-old Daly

the county jail, police said.
Police are not yet releasing the
names of the suspects, who
investigators determined were
not working together but could be
part of a larger crime operation.

HUGE CONTAINER SHIP VISITS BAY

Mother of affluenza teen is jailed in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES The mother of a fugitive Texas teen
known for using an affluenza defense in a fatal drunkendriving accident will likely remain jailed for several days in
Los Angeles after being deported from Mexico, investigators said Thursday.
Tonya Couch and her 18-year-old, Ethan, were taken into
custody this week in Mexico, where authorities believe the
pair fled in November as Texas prosecutors investigated
whether he had violated his probation.
Ethan Couch was being held at a detention facility in
Mexico City after winning a court reprieve that could lead
to a weeks- or even months-long legal process in Mexico,
a Mexican immigration official told the Associated Press on
Thursday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity
because he or she was not authorized to be quoted by name.
But his mother was deported and flown to Los Angeles,
where she was escorted through the citys sprawling LAX
airport in handcuffs by U.S. marshals early Thursday morning. She will remain jailed in Los Angeles until officers can
take her to Texas.
That likely wont happen until at least next week. Los
Angeles District Attorneys Office spokeswoman Jane
Robison said Thursday that no extradition hearing was
planned ahead of the New Years holiday.

The largest container ship to visit the U.S. passed under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco before arriving at the Port
of Oakland. The nearly quarter-mile-long megaship named the Benjamin Franklin set sail from China earlier this month
with a stop in Los Angeles after Christmas. It cleared the famous bridge Thursday with about 20 feet of space to spare. The
megaship can hold up to 18,000 20-foot shipping containers.The largest ships serving the U.S. can carry 14,000 containers.
The Franklins visit to Oakland is considered a trial run. Officials want to ensure that the vessel can be berthed and cargo
discharged efficiently. The megaship is expected to set sail for China on Sunday.

Flooding forces evacuations, traffic troubles in Missouri

By Jim Salter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS Floodwater was starting

to recede at some water-logged
Midwestern communities Thursday, but
hundreds of homes were damaged, hundreds more remained evacuated, and getting through St. Louis by car, boat or
train was increasingly difficult.
The Mississippi River neared record
levels at many places, and a tributary,
the Meramec River, surged 4 feet beyond
previous records before finally starting
to fall. The rare wintertime flooding was
spurred by 10 inches of rain or more
over a three-day period across a wide
swath of Missouri and Illinois.
Twenty deaths were blamed on flooding nearly all of them from motorists

More

continued for two missing men in
southwest Missouri and two missing
teenagers in southern Illinois.
Some flood-weary communities were
getting relief: The Missouri, Meramec
and Mississippi rivers were cresting
throughout the St. Louis region. The
Mississippi River was slowly dropping
at St. Louis after peaking about 7 1/2
feet below the 1993 record. A floodwall
offered solid protection, but as the
waters flow south, points in southern
Missouri and Illinois were awaiting the
crest.
The Missouri River leveled off about
5 feet shy of the record in St. Charles,
Missouri, and was on the way down at
Hermann and Washington, two
German heritage towns in Missouris

Wine Country region.

The Meramec, southwest of St. Louis,
continued to be the biggest problem,
even as it began to drop after reaching
record levels in the Missouri towns of
Eureka, Valley Park and Arnold.
Hundreds of homes were damaged in
Eureka, an estimated 100 homes in
Arnold were damaged, as well as dozens
more in nearby Pacific.
Flooding from the Meramec forced
closure of a 3-mile stretch of Interstate
55 south of St. Louis, snarling traffic
for the few commuters working on the
eve of the new year.
We were out there all night sandbagging trying to hold it back as much as
we could, but it was just so much,

said.

California grandma charged

with murder for drowning grandson
FAIRFIELD Prosecutors have charged a Northern
California grandmother with murder in connection with
drowning her 4-year-old grandson in a bathtub.
If convicted, 51-year-old Dawn Diana Raines-Hewes could
face 25 years to life in state prison.
The Los Angeles Times reports Thursday that police say
Raines-Hewes was arrested Tuesday morning when police
say neighbors saw her run screaming from her house, then
found her grandson unconscious inside.
In a statement Wednesday, Fairfield police said that during
the investigation, Raines-Hewes admitted to the intentional act of drowning the child. Two other grandchildren, a 1year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl, were also under the grandmothers care. Police say they were not harmed
A motive has not been released. She remains jailed without bail.

IS conflict voted top news story of 2015

By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The far-flung attacks

claimed by Islamic State militants and the
intensifying global effort to crush them
added up to a grim, gripping yearlong saga
that was voted the top news story of 2015,
according to the Associated Press annual
poll of U.S. editors and news directors.
The No. 2 story was the U.S. Supreme
Courts ruling that led to legalization of
same-sex marriage in all 50 states. But several of the other stories among the Top 10
reflected the impact of the Islamic State,
while another group of major stories related to the series of mass shootings in the
United States.
Among the 100 voters casting ballots,
first-place votes were spread among 17 different stories. The Islamic State entry
received 37 first-place votes and same-sex
marriage 13. The No. 3 story the deadly
attacks in Paris in January and November
received 14 first-place votes.
A year ago, the top story in APs poll was
the police killings of unarmed blacks in
Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere and
the investigations and protests that
ensued. In this years poll, a similar entry,
with more instances of blacks dying in
encounters with police, placed fifth.
The first AP top-stories poll was conducted in 1936, when editors chose the abdication of Britains King Edward VIII.

Here are 2015s top

10 stories, in order:
1 : ISLAMIC STATE: A multinational
coalition intensified ground and air attacks
against Islamic State militants in Iraq and
Syria, including expanded roles for Western
European countries worried about IS-backed
terrorism. For its part, IS sought to demonstrate an expansive reach by its operatives
and supporters, claiming to have carried
out or inspired the bombing of a Russian
airliner, attacks in Beirut and Paris, and the
deadly shooting in San Bernardino,
California.
2 : GAY MARRIAGE: Fifteen years
after Vermont pioneered civil unions for
same-sex couples, the Supreme Court
issued a ruling in June enabling them to
marry in all 50 states. Gay-rights activists
heralded it as their movements biggest
breakthrough, but there were flashes of disapproval. A county clerk in Kentucky, Kim
Davis, spent a few days in jail after refusing
to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in

her jurisdiction.
3 : PARIS ATTACKS: The first attack
came just a week into the new year. Two
brothers who called themselves members
of al-Qaida barged into the offices of the
satiric newspaper Charlie Hebdo, and later
attacked a Jewish market, gunning down 17
people in all. Nov. 13 brought a far deadlier
onslaught: Eight Islamic State militants
killed 130 people in coordinated assaults
around Paris. Targets included restaurants,
bars and an indoor rock concert.
4 : MASS SHOOTINGS: Throughout
the year, mass shootings brought grief to
communities across the U.S. and deepened
frustration over the failure to curtail them.
There were 14 victims in San Bernardino.
Nine blacks were killed by a white gunman
at a Charleston, South Carolina, church; a
professor and eight students died at an
Oregon
community
college.
In
Chattanooga, four Marines and a sailor
were killed by a Kuwaiti-born engineer;
three people, including a policeman, were
shot dead at a Planned Parenthood clinic in
Colorado.
5 : BLACK DEATHS IN ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE: In Baltimore,
riots broke out after the death of Freddie
Gray, a black man loaded into a van by

police officers. In Chicago, Tulsa and

North Charleston, South Carolina, fatal
police shootings of black men prompted
resignations and criminal charges. The
incidents gave fuel to the Black Lives
Matter campaign, and prompted several
investigations of policing practices.
6 : TERRORIS M WORRIES : Fears
about terrorism in the U.S. surged after a
married couple in California described
by investigators as radicalized Muslims
carried out the attack in San Bernardino that
killed 14 people. The rampage inflamed an
already intense debate over whether to
accommodate refugees from Syria, and
prompted Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump to call for a ban on
Muslims coming to the U.S.
7 : U. S. ELECTION CAMPAIGN: A
large and varied field of Republicans
launched bids for the presidency, with billionaire Donald Trump moving out to an
early lead in the polls and remaining there
despite a series of polarizing statements.
He helped attract record audiences for the
GOPs televised debates. In the Democratic
race, Bernie Sanders surprised many with a
strong challenge of Hillary Clinton, but
she remained the solid front-runner.
8 : CLIMATE CHANGE: Negotiators

from nearly 200 countries reached a firstof-its kind agreement in Paris on curbing
greenhouse gas emissions. Many questions
remain over enforcement and implementation of the accord. But elated supporters
hailed it as a critical step toward averting
the grim scenario of unchecked global
warming.
9 : CHARLESTON CHURCH SHOOTING: A Bible study session at the Emanuel
African Methodist Episcopal Church in
Charleston, South Carolina, suddenly
turned into carnage when a white gunman
opened fire, killing nine blacks, including
the pastor. The alleged killers affinity for
the Confederate flag sparked debate over
the role of Civil War symbols in todays
South. In less than a month, the flag was
removed from the South Carolina State
House grounds.
1 0 : EUROPES MIGRANT CRISIS:
Fleeing war and hardship, more than 1 million migrants and refugees flooded into
Europe during the year, overwhelming
national border guards and reception facilities. Hundreds are believed to have
drowned; 71 others were found dead in an
abandoned truck in Austria. The 28-nation
European Union struggled to come up with
an effective, unified response.

Continued from page 1
with a little-used groundwater basin under
the county.
As El Nio conditions became more real,
officials also began prepping for a wet winter and the possibility that previous dry
conditions may exacerbate flooding and
other issues like landslides. Officials also
urged Californians to be mindful that a single wet winter might not break the already
4-year-old drought.
As the drought magnified, another issue
grew substantially in San Mateo County
housing and its cost.
The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the county is now $2,516, a 50.2
percent increase in four years, according to
a county housing indicators report released
in July. Another issue coming to the forefront was the number of apartment buildings
being either purchased or financed for rehabilitation, sending tenants looking for
another place to live while buildings were
refurbished to command higher rents.
Housing activists galvanized and urged
both county and city officials to seriously
consider tenant protections like just cause
evictions and rent control. Landlord groups
also became vocal and warned that such
restrictions would have a deleterious effect
on the market overall. County officials
formed a task force to study the issue and
various cities also promised to explore
potential action in 2016.
In San Mateo, the issue of what to do with
a vacant ice rink drew significant interest
from those urging the City Council to find a
way to make the owner of the Bridgepointe
Shopping Center to keep the rink shuttered
in 2013. The original 1998 development
agreement for the shopping center required
an ice rink or another recreational amenity
should the rink close. The owners are offering the city $3 million to place retail at the
site but rink advocates suggest that is not
enough.
A Planning Commission meeting in
December drew large numbers of residents
protesting the closure and the commission
unanimously decided to reject the $3 million proposal. The commission vote is
advisory and the City Council is set to hear
it Jan. 19.

LOCAL
Another controversial land use dispute
that drew a flurry of legal action concerned
billionaire Vinod Khoslas attempts to prohibit the public from visiting the secluded
Martins Beach just south of Half Moon
Bay.
The issue pitting the rights of private
property owners against Californians
long-standing ability to access the beach
has been the focus of two lawsuits and state
legislation. The end of the year marked the
deadline for Khosla to avoid the possibility
of facing eminent domain after he failed to
negotiate with the state for public access
per the terms of a law created by state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo.
Apparently not interested in keeping the
property open to the public, this year the
wealthy tech-mogul appealed a San Mateo
County Court judges ruling that favored the
Surfrider Foundations allegations he violated the California Coastal Act. That case
as well as another are now pending in the
state appellate court and some have predicted the fight for the beloved coastal property
could one day be in the hands of the Supreme
Court.
The San Mateo Union High School
District welcomed a new superintendent,
Kevin Skelly, who was able to begin wrapping up some lingering loose ends on facilities that have dogged the district for years.
In September, Skelly and the district
announced a plan to move Peninsula
Alternative High School to a site on
Rollins Road in Burlingame, closer to the
homes of many of its students. The site is
currently being used to house Design Tech
High School, which is aiming to move to
the Oracle Corp. campus in Redwood Shores
soon, pending approval by the Redwood
City Council. Moving Peninsula would free
up about 40 acres on the San Bruno campus,
which is being proposed for teacher and
staff housing.
Skelly was also able to negotiate the end
of a lingering dispute between the district
and the city of Burlingame over the joint
use of the pool on the Burlingame High
School campus.
San Mateo County schools were also able
to provide raises for teachers after state
funding saw an increase. Districts were able
to provide increases after several years of
salary freezes necessitated by the economic
downturn.
Even the San Bruno Park Elementary

School District was able to provide teacher

raises after a recent influx of state funding
saved officials from needing to consider a
variety of painful budget cuts which included staff layoffs, library closures, principals
being shared between schools and shuttering a campus.
Teachers had long been starved for a pay
increase and threatened to strike last year
amidst a round of contentious labor negotiations.
The year also saw large-scale superintendent changes, with new leaders in the South
San Francisco Unified, San Mateo-Foster
City
Elementary,
Redwood
City
Elementary, San Bruno Park and San Mateo
Union High school districts.
Foster City officials kicked off efforts to
address sea level rise and update its levee
system to prevent property owners from
facing state-mandated flood insurance.
For the first time in the small communitys history, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency determined the citys
levee system was no longer adequate to protect against a 100-year-flood. City officials
as well as state and national representatives
like Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, and U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-San Mateo, joined to discuss the multimillion dollar levee improvement project
aimed at keeping the city out of FEMAs
flood map.
At the same time, Supervisor Dave Pine,
Speier and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park, continued to illustrate the
countys need for a regional approach to
combat sea level rise. Bordered by both a
Bayfront and coastside, San Mateo County
is at risk if sea levels rise and the local
politicians hosted regional meetings while
forming a task force to begin considering
adaptive planning efforts.
New developments, construction and
giant cranes were increasingly common in
downtown Redwood City as several largescale projects were completed and others
continued as part of the citys Downtown
Precise Plan. Early in the year, city officials
rejected a proposal that would have
increased the amount of office space from
500, 000 square feet allowed in the
Downtown Precise Plan to 630,000 square
feet and decrease the number of housing
units approved in the plan from 2,500 to
2,100.
The quick rate at which new projects

THE DAILY JOURNAL

emerged drew concern from residents over
traffic and parking impacts, ultimately catapulting the issue as a hot topic during the
election.
Meanwhile, in downtown South San
Francisco, new projects were just getting
underway in 2015 with housing a main component of several proposals. Although
groundbreaking has yet to begin on many
of the developments, the City Council
approved its Downtown Station Area
Specific Plan at the start of last year with
visions of revitalization.
The Belmont City Council hit a rocky
road as it sought to improve its housing
stock by easing the ability for property
owners to remodel. After approving amendments to its Zoning and Tree ordinances, a
group of residents were able to garner
enough signatures on a referendum petition
and force the council to overturn the new
rules. Now, further community outreach is
underway on the proposals to amend the
citys remodel regulations that cover parking requirements, maximum home sizes, inlaw units and rules governing the removal
as well as replacement of trees.
Millbrae officials are in the nascent
stages of a development plan for the 116acre Station Area Specific Plan that would
lay the groundwork for a massive new development that would remake the area around
the BART/Caltrain station at El Camino
Real and Millbrae Avenue.
On a portion of BART land east of the station currently occupied by a parking garage,
the transit agency has hired a developer proposing to build a mixed-use project comprised of 164,000 square feet of office
space, nearly 47,000 square feet for retail,
more than 300 residential units, as well as a
hotel.
Close by at 150 Serra Ave., property
owner Vincent Muzzi has expressed interest
in building a project which would offer
267,000 square feet of office space, 32,000
feet of retail space and 500 residential units.
In all, should the two projects be completed, nearly 800 new residents and 900
workers would come to Millbrae. There are
some concerns about the developments
impact, and the council will discuss it again
next week.
Development throughout the Peninsula
was a hot topic in 2015 and will sure to be at
the forefront in 2016 as plans and projects
from last year continue and new ones arise.

Dubai luxury tower engulfed in flames

while New Years fireworks show began
By Jon Gambrell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates A 63story luxury hotel was engulfed in flames
even as a massive New Years fireworks
display kicked off at the worlds tallest
skyscraper nearby, while tens of thousands of people whistled and cheered at
early Fridays pyrotechnics.
Just minutes before the fireworks began
in the Gulf emirate of Dubai, large explosions could be heard from inside the burning building, which was cloaked in thick
black smoke. Other blasts followed later
during the night. It was not clear what
caused them.
At least 14 people were slightly injured,
and one person suffered a heart attack from
the smoke and over-crowding during an
evacuation late Thursday, according to the
Dubai Media Office. The statement said
another person was moderately injured,
without elaborating further. No children
were among those injured, it said.
Around 1 million people had been
expected to gather around the Burj Khalifa
skyscraper to watch the fireworks. Dubais
economy depends heavily on tourism, and
New Years is one of the busiest seasons,
drawing people from around the world to
watch the fireworks that the emirate puts
on at the worlds tallest tower, as well as
the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab and over a
man-made palm-shaped island.
Organizers had installed 400,000 LED
lights on the Burj Khalifa and used some
1.6 tons of fireworks for the seven-minute
extravaganza. Two years ago on New
Years, Dubai broke the world record for
the largest fireworks display.
The fire engulfed the Address Downtown,

been packed with people because of its
clear view of the 828-meter (905-yard) tall
Burj Khalifa.
The hotel towers over the Souq Al Bahar,
a popular shopping area with walkways
that connect to the Burj Khalifa and the
Middle Easts largest mall, the Dubai
Mall.
It was not immediately clear what caused
the fire, which ran up the 63-story building. The Address is a 991 foot-tall (302meter) skyscraper that has 626 luxury
apartments and 196 hotel rooms, according to Skyscraper Center, which tracks
such buildings.

Tenth suspect arrested

in Paris attacks probe
By John-Thor Dahlburg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS Belgian authorities on

Thursday announced the arrest of a 10th person in connection with last months bloodbath in Paris and said six others had been
detained and questioned over a suspected
plot to stage new attacks in Brussels during
the holidays.
Law enforcement officials said there is no
known connection between the two investigations, but they highlight the role of
Belgium as a hotbed of Islamic radicalism in
Europe.
Authorities said a Belgian national born
in 1993 and identified only as Ayoub B. has
been charged with terrorist murder and participation in the activities of a terrorist
group for his suspected involvement in the
Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, claimed by the
Islamic State group.
The man was detained Wednesday follow-

ing a search in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels, where some of the Paris
attackers lived, including suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Nine people in Belgium had already been
arrested in connection with the attacks, in
which 130 people lost their lives and hundreds more were injured.
The Federal Prosecutors Office also said
six people were brought in for questioning
and seven searches carried out Thursday
morning in various Brussels-area locations
in connection with a suspected plot to stage
extremist attacks over the holidays on
police, soldiers and popular sites in the
Belgian capital.
On Thursday evening, the office
announced that three of the people questioned had been released, and that the other
three would be kept in detention for up to 24
additional hours. It said no further details
would be made public, and that the investigation was continuing.

Munich police warn of terror attacks

By Kirsten Grieshaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN Police in Munich warned of a

serious, imminent threat by Islamic State
group suicide bombers wanting to commit a
terror attack on New Years Eve and asked
people to stay away from the citys main
train station and a second train station in
the citys Pasing neighborhood.
Bavarias Interior Minister Joachim
Herrmann told reporters Friday night at
Munichs police headquarters authorities
had received information that the terror
group Islamic State was behind the threat.
Munich police president Hubertus Andrae

said German authorities had been tipped off

by a foreign intelligence service that IS was
planning attacks with five to seven suicide
bombers, the German news agency dpa
reported. Andrae said so far there hadnt been
any arrests. Police spokesman Werner Kraus
told the Associated Press that after evaluating the situation, we started evacuating the
train stations and also asked partygoers to
stay away from big crowds outside.
The warning came only hours before the
city rang in the new year.
Despite police warnings to stay away
from big crowds, thousands of people were
on the streets of Munich at midnight to welcome the new year with fireworks.

fighters were working to put out the blaze.

They said the fire appears to have originated on a 20th floor terrace, though witnesses who saw the blaze start said they
believed it began on the buildings ground
floor. No one offered a cause for the fire.
The fire broke out around 9:30 p.m.,
about two-and-a-half hours before the midnight fireworks display was set to begin.
To manage the crowds, Dubai police had
closed off some roads and some metro stations before the fire broke out.
The Dubai Media Office said that Dubais
tourism department would provide guests
evacuated from the building with alternative hotel accommodation.
Nearly an hour after the fire began, some
onlookers began to leave while others

stood, pressed against crowd barricades,

watching the blaze. Among them was
Chris Browne, a tourist from London, who
watched with her husband, Stephen, standing behind her. They said they hoped no
one was injured.
Its pretty scary stuff, she said.
Standing nearby, Stuart ODonnell, a
British intensive care nurse who works in
Dubai, said he was worried for those inside
the building as it was in a prime location
to watch the fireworks display.
You feel sad for the people inside. ... It
spread so quickly when it started, he said.
He and others in the crowd wondered
what had started the blaze. I do feel suspicious of when a fire breaks out on New
Years Eve, he said.

U.S. stocks closed lower on

Thursday, capping the worst year for
the market since 2008.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
ended essentially flat for the year after
the days modest losses nudged it into
the red for 2015. Even factoring in dividends, the index eked out a far smaller
return than in 2014.
The Dow Jones industrial average
also closed out the year with a loss. The
tech-heavy Nasdaq composite fared
better, delivering a gain for the year.
Its a lousy end to a pretty lousy
year, said Edward Campbell, portfolio
manager for QMA, a unit of Prudential
Investment Management. A very unrewarding year.
Trading was lighter than usual on
Thursday ahead of the New Years Day
holiday. Technology stocks were
among the biggest decliners, while
energy stocks eked out a tiny gain
thanks to a rebound in crude oil and natural gas prices.
The Dow ended the day down 178.84
points, or 1 percent, to 17,425.03.
The S&P 500 index lost 19.42 points,
or 0.9 percent, to 2,043.94. The
Nasdaq composite fell 58.43 points, or
1.2 percent, to 5,007.41.
For 2015, the Dow registered a loss

of 2.2 percent. Its the first down year

for the Dow since 2008. The Nasdaq
ended with a gain of 5.7 percent.
The S&P 500 index, regarded as a
benchmark for the broader stock market, lost 0.7 percent for the year.
The index had a total return for the
year of just 1.4 percent, including dividends. Thats the worst return since
2008 and down sharply down from the
13.7 percent it returned in 2014.
While U.S. employers added jobs at a
solid pace in 2015 and consumer confidence improved, several factors
weighed on stocks in 2015.
Investors worried about flat earnings
growth, a deep slump in oil prices and
the impact of the stronger dollar on
revenues in markets outside the U.S.
They also fretted about the timing of
the Federal Reserves first interest rate
increase in more than a decade.
The uncertainty led to a volatile year
in stocks, which hit new highs earlier
in the year, but swooned in August as
concerns about a slowdown in Chinas
economy helped drag the three major
stock indexes into a correction, or a
drop of at least 10 percent. The markets
recouped most of their lost ground
within a few weeks.
The market didnt go anywhere and
earnings didnt really go anywhere,
Campbell said.
On Thursday, nine of the 10 sectors

in the S&P 500 index ended lower, led

by a 1.4 percent decline in technology
stocks. Energy stocks, which had been
battered recently as commodities
prices sank, rose 0.3 percent as oil
prices rebounded. The sector still
closed out the year down nearly 24 percent, making it the worst performer in
the S&P 500.
Crude oil and natural gas prices
recovered some of their losses from the
day before. Benchmark U.S. crude
climbed 44 cents, or 1.2 percent, to
close at $37.04 a barrel in New York.
Brent crude, used to price international
oils, gained 82 cents, or 2.2 percent,
to close at $37.28 a barrel in London.
In other energy trading in New York,
wholesale gasoline rose 3.7 cents to
$1.267 a gallon, heating oil rose 2.2
cents to $1.101 a gallon and natural
gas rose 12.3 cents to $2.337 per
1,000 cubic feet.
In Europe, Britains FTSE 100
dropped 0.5 percent, putting it down
4.9 percent for the year. Frances CAC40 fared better in 2015, with an 8.5
percent gain after slipping 0.9 percent
on Thursday. Germanys main stock
market, which was closed Thursday for
the holiday, ended the year with a 9.6
percent gain. In Asia, the Shanghai
Composite Index lost 0.9 percent,
while Hong Kongs Hang Seng gained
0.1 percent.

How much money you just saved on gas in 2015

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. drivers saved a bunch

of money on gasoline this past year, as
Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members kept
the pumps going in the face of low oil
prices. Massive stockpiles of crude globally
turned 2015 into the year of the pain-free fill
up. More of the same is expected for 2016 as
oil prices remain low. Heres a quick breakdown of the numbers, courtesy of the AAA.

ONE FOR THE OIL MAN, TWO FOR ME

Americans saved a collective $115 billion
plus this year on trips to the gas station.
The average licensed driver pocketed more
than $550, enough to cover a lease payment

or two. The average price for a gallon of gas

never broke $3 in 2015, and it dipped below
$2 in December, the first time thats happened since the Great Recession in 2009.

HOW ABOUT A
NEW YEARS ROADTRIP?
Youll likely be paying less on average
this New Years Day than on the past seven.
The national average price for a gallon of
gas is $2, the lowest since 2008. But youd
likely pay less. About 71 percent of gas stations are selling gas for less than $2 per gallon, and 16,000 stations are charging less
than $1.75. But youll pay up if you drive to
California, Nevada, Washington, Alaska
or rent a car in Hawaii. Those are the five

states where gas costs $2.47 or more.

LOOKING AHEAD

CALIFORNIANS PAY MORE

AAA estimates that the annual average

price of gas in 2016 will be between $2.25
and $2.45 per gallon, which would be
cheaper or at least comparable to the 2015
average of $2.40 per gallon. Some industry
analysts believe that cutbacks by U.S. producers will trim the huge surplus in oil, and
gasoline prices will rise as a result. But
remember, oil is priced globally and with
sanctions being eased, Iran could add to the
glut and further pressure prices. During a
two-day conference in November, some 50
major oil, gas and petrochemical projects
were introduced in Tehran. That, for anyone
who buys gas, points to a buyers market in
2016.

No one paid as much as Californians for

gas, the first time thats ever happened.
The culprit: unplanned maintenance at
some major refineries. Still, the average
price in the state of $3.16 per gallon was
cheap compared with $3.79 in 2014. On
the opposite end of the spectrum and the
country, the Southeastern U.S. is rolling
in gas savings. For the fourth year in a
row, South Carolina was the lowest countrywide, at an average of $2.10 per gallon.
Other states where the savings were grand
included
Mississippi,
Alabama,
Tennessee, and Louisiana.

Targets turnaround gets shoppers back into stores

By Anne dInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Targets efforts to

draw shoppers back into its stores are
paying off.
Take Annabel Bernardo, who once
bought trendy clothes at Target but cut
back after she felt it lost its fashion
edge.
Now, Bernardo, who lives in
Rockville Center, Maryland, is back:
The store is looking much better. Its
looking more upscale.
That Target has had five consecutive

quarters of increases in a key sales

measure suggests there are more shoppers like Bernardo, who are returning
to the discounter that pioneered the
concept of putting affordable, chic
fashions under the same roof as groceries and toiletries.
Thats good news for Target, which
had setbacks in recent years, including
a major debit and credit card hack that
impacted sales for several months and a
misstep that led it to focus on groceries
instead of the cheap chic fashions its
customers craved.
The sales improvements come as

Target continues a turnaround plan it

started after it hired CEO Brian Cornell
in 2014. As part of the plan, Target got
rid of its money-losing Canadian operations and revamped its management
team.
But the key to luring shoppers back
has been changes in stores. Target has
been updating its fashion, baby products and home decor. Its overhauled the
fit of its jeans, resulting in at least 10
percent sales growth. Its also launched
a plus-size collection for women, Ava
& Viv, marking its first exclusive fashion line in over a decade.

Rose Bowl solid alternative to playoff for Stanford, Iowa

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASADENA Kevin Hogan will make a

bit of Rose Bowl history when he steps
behind center Friday for his record-tying
third start for Stanford in the Granddaddy of
Them All.
Its all new to his Iowa
counterpart,
C. J.
Beathard, who will make
his first bowl start in the
Hawkeyes first trip to
Pasadena in 25 years.
Hogan is grateful for
Stanfords remarkable
Kevin Hogan run of three Rose Bowl
berths, but he doesnt
think the No. 5 Cardinal (11-2) have much
of an advantage over the sixth-ranked
Hawkeyes (12-1) in the 102nd edition of
college footballs most historic game.
These teams are too talented, and theres
too much on the line even if the national
title is not.
Both of us could be in the playoff, said
Hogan, who will become just the third quar-

terback to start three Rose Bowls. Both of

us could be playing for a national championship, but theres not enough room for us,
and we did that to ourselves. Were going to
enjoy this opportunity instead.
The Rose Bowl is the traditional reward
for outstanding seasons in the Big Ten and
Pac-12, and tradition should run rich in this
matchup: two run-oriented offenses, two nononsense defenses and a list of stars led by
running back Christian McCaffrey,
Stanfords Heisman Trophy finalist.
Iowa and Stanford gratefully embraced
this assignment after they ended up as the
last two teams to miss the College Football
Playoff.
Its such a historic bowl, and I cant
imagine theres a better environment in
America to play college football, said
Iowas Kirk Ferentz, who finally led the
Hawkeyes to the Rose Bowl after 17 years
as head coach. But its still a game.
The Hawkeyes returned on the strength of
their school-record 12-0 regular season.
Even after a narrow loss to Michigan State
in the Big Ten title game, Iowa got the
chance to win the Rose Bowl for the first

Stanfords relatively modest fan base

could have Rose Bowl fatigue, but Iowa
appears ready to fill any gap. Hawkeyes athletic director Gary Barta said the school had
55,000 requests for tickets and fulfilled
more than 23,000. Everybody expects a sea
of old gold and black in Pasadena and it
might have been even bigger, but storms
across the Midwest scuttled many fans travel plans. Many of our fans were here for the
last Rose Bowl and couldnt wait to do it
again, Barta said. There was probably a
pent-up desire to be in this special place at
this special time.

The only right way to end the season
would be to go out with a win, Beathard

two games, thats tough.
Stanfords improbable Nerd Nation powerhouse is back yet again after the Cardinal
won another Pac-12 title, bowling over
schools with bigger budgets and less stringent academic demands. Hogan is grateful
for his place in history, but he is only interested in ending his career by joining the list

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Since the NHL first experimented

with outdoor games more than a decade ago, the Winter Classic
has grown into a festival of fresh air hockey that this year
included for the first time a professional womens game.
As part of the buildup to the New Years Day game between
the archrival Bruins and Canadiens, the Boston Pride played
the Montreal Canadiennes at the home of the defending Super
Bowl champion New England Patriots. The two leagues that
participated hope it will be a turning point in their effort to
gain a footing on the professional womens sports scene.
What great exposure, Pride defenseman Marissa Gedman

said. Especially to have the NHL backing us. Thats huge.

But there is still a way to go: The womens teams played two,
15-minute periods with running time and a friends-and-family
crowd of a few hundred people. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Massachusetts General Hospital. No further
information on her condition was immediately
available.
The womens game was followed by a
matchup of NHL old-timers from the Bruins and
Canadiens. Outside, a free spectator plaza with
live music, family-friendly games and a public
skating rink completed the festival atmosphere
that has come to surround the Winter Classic and
make it the leagues signature regular-season
event.
Fans booed the Canadiens alumni, but mostly
good-naturedly, and the style of play was more
reminiscent of a no-defense All-Star game than
one of the bone-crunching battles the teams
have waged through their history.
Fridays game is not expected to be so genteel
not with the teams separated by one point in
the Eastern Conference standings.
Playing on a stage like this is something
youll remember for the rest of your life,
Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban said. It
goes beyond just the game of hockey. We know

that everybodys got their family and friends

here. ... The one thing you want to stress in the
dressing room ... is to enjoy it, take it in, drink
it in. We want to get the win and the two points.
But enjoy the experience because it is just that,
its a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Here is a look at some of the milestones in
hockeys return to its outdoor roots:

Cold war
It all started in college in 2001, when
Michigan State decided to move its hockey
game against rival Michigan to the football stadium. The game, which ended in a 3-3 tie, drew a
then-record attendance of 74,554 and perhaps
convinced NHL officials that an outdoor game
was possible.

New Years Day

The current look of the Winter Classic really
took shape on New Years Day, 2008, when the
Sabres hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins at Ralph
Wilson Stadium, the home of the NFLs Buffalo
Bills. (Pittsburgh won 2-1 on Sidney Crosbys
clincher in the shootout.) Snow flurries added to
the wintry feel, and the teams switched sides
midway through the third period (and again in
overtime) to neutralize any advantage gained by
wind or sun.

Goff is widely considered to be one of the

Goff is Cals career leader in just about

every significant statistic for quarterbacks.
He broke Marcus Mariotas Pac-12 season
record for touchdown passes by throwing
six in a 55-36 win over Air Force in the
Armed Forces Bowl on Tuesday to give him
43 in his career one more than Mariota.
Coach Sonny Dykes said he began talking with Goff about the possibility of turning pro early back in June and supports the
decision. Dykes called it a bittersweet day
as he is excited about Goffs NFL future but
will miss coaching him.
Its hard to lose those guys, especially
having gone through what weve gone
through as a program and a team, Dykes
said. I think he has a really bright future. It
will be fun for us to have an opportunity to
watch it and be a part of it.
Since enrolling early at Cal in January
2013, Goff has been on a path to the NFL.
He became the only true freshman in school
history to start the season opener. He holds
school records for yards passing (12,200),
completions (977) and touchdown passes
(96). He improved every season and finished this past year with career highs of
4,719 yards passing, 43 touchdown passes,
64.5 percent completion rate and a 161.3
passer rating.

Moores invasion
is entertaining
Documentary exaggerates
but still has some lessons
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Of course Michael Moore exaggerates. Of course he engages in

cheerful, unabashed cherry-picking. Of course he sees black and white
where most of us see shades of gray.
That doesnt necessarily mean hes wrong.
It just means hes being Michael Moore and in his latest documentary, Where to Invade Next, its a more impishly entertaining
Moore than usual, using comedy and even a bit of fantasy to prove
his point. Which is, basically, that Europe has some ideas on how to
run a society that Americans should plunder and pillage er, adopt!
forthwith. But lest that seem an overly harsh indictment of the
United States, Moore also seeks to remind us that many of these
admirable ideas originated in America in the first place.
A jocular tone is set from the start, when Moore is summoned to the
Pentagon. In this fantasy, U.S. military leaders beg him for help. Michael,
we dont know what the (expletive) were doing, they say. Weve lost all
the wars since World War II.
Can Moore help? Why yes, Moore replies. Yes he can.
Heres the plan: Moore himself will invade other countries to bring
home whats useful. The first target is Italy. Have you ever noticed that
Italians all look like theyve just had sex? Moore begins. In his opening
camera shot, they sure do.
He zooms in on a working-class Italian couple that seems to truly have it
all: good jobs, plenty of leisure time, and the money to enjoy it, thanks to
seven weeks of paid vacation, an extra months pay each year, and oh, twohour lunch breaks. Maternity leave, you ask? Five months paid. To twist the
knife, Moore reminds us there are only two countries in the world that
dont have mandated maternity leave: Papua New Guinea, and, yes, the
USA.
Next stop: France. As usual, the French offered little resistance,
Moore quips. But soon you wont be laughing at Frances expense not
when you see how well they feed their schoolchildren. An average district in Normandy serves four-course lunches with scallops to start, followed by lamb on skewers and a cheese course camembert is just
one option before dessert. Moore brings a can of Coke. Nah, the
kids say.

After months of heavy eating, lighten up with taste of Thai

By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I love every bite of the holidays. I loved

the mashed potatoes and the pies and the
cornbread stuffing and everything else. And
Im not going to look back with regret.
I am, however, not going to continue eating this way indefinitely. And this salad is
why Im not so sad about that.
Lots of us are crazy about Thai food, what
with all those bright, vibrant flavors, exciting textures and the play of sweet and sour
and salty happening in so many ways. And
classic Thai ingredients like lemon grass,
chilies and coconut milk are now popping
up at grocers all over the country.
Youll find its fun and easy to work them
into your home cooking.
This simple salad features crunchy cucumbers enhanced with just a bit of citrus, soy
sauce and a few other Thai ingredients.
Cilantro is an herb people usually love or
hate; few people feel meh about it. So if
its not your thing, or someone at the table
doesnt like it, serve it on the side and let
people add it to their own salads as they
wish.
You also could substitute Thai basil.
If you want to bump up the flavor even
more, substitute fish sauce for half of the
soy sauce. It will add a layer of delicious
pungency to the dish.

THAI CUCUMBER SALAD

Start to finish: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
2 large English cucumbers
1 jalapeno pepper
2 teaspoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed

1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup salted cocktail peanuts, lightly
crushed
Peel the cumbers, then slice them in half
lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, scrape down
the center of each half to remove any seeds.
Slice the cumber halves crosswise into thin
slices. A mandoline is best, but a knife is
fine. Trim the jalapeno, slice in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds before mincing.
In a large bowl, combine the jalapeno,
shallots, soy sauce, lime juice and sugar,
then stir to combine. Add the cucumbers and
toss to combine. Transfer the mixture to a

Tomatillo: Fresh approach to poaching salmon

By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The French love to cook fish by

poaching it in a flavored liquid, usually
a combination of white wine and water,
leeks or onions, and some herbs. Its a
notably lean way to roll because theres
no fat involved. And the finished product is reliably tender because it has been
cooked at a low temperature.
So, its lean, tender and ... quite boring. I crave more flavor and texture. So
heres a recipe for poached salmon that
adds the missing elements.
Typically, poaching calls for a lot of
liquid. The fish is supposed to be submerged as it cooks, after which the liquid usually is tossed. I wanted a way to
poach the fish in a small amount of liquid, which then could do double duty as
a sauce. Given that fish generally
requires a spritz of acid to brighten it
up, the ideal liquid needed to be acidic
and intensely flavored. Green salsa
that is, tomatillo salsa with chilies and
lime juice struck me as a likely candidate.
The salmon wouldnt have to swim in
a vat of the salsa. I made a modest batch
and cooked the salmon in a smallish
skillet with the salsa rising halfway up
the sides of the fillets. I covered the
pan tightly to trap the heat and flipped
over the salmon half way through its
cooking time to make sure it cooked
evenly.
How do you know when the salmon is
finished cooking? If you slide a knife
into it and the blade sails through the
fillet with no resistance, its done. And
be sure to pull it off the heat when

theres still a tiny bit of resistance left,

which will allow for carry-over cooking time.
For crunch, I sprinkled tortilla chips
on top; they are salsas classic partner.
But these were my own healthy baked
tortilla chips, which take only 15 minutes to prepare. On the whole, this
recipe is pretty quick and easy to make,
but you can streamline it even further
by picking up green salsa and baked
tortilla chips at the supermarket.
By the way, there were leftovers the
second time we tested this winner.
When we polished them off the next
day, we discovered that this dish is just
as delicious cold as hot.

SALMON POACHED
IN GREEN SALSA AND
TOPPED WITH BAKED CHIPS
Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
For the tortilla strips:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Four 6-inch corn tortillas
Kosher salt
For the salmon:
8 ounces fresh tomatillos, husked,
rinsed and quartered
1/2 cup coarsely chopped scallions
(white and light green parts)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh
cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 jalapeno or serrano chili, seeds
removed if desired
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds center-cut salmon fillet,
cut into 4 equal portions
To make the tortilla strips, heat the
oven to 400 F.
In a small bowl, stir together the oil,
chili powder and cumin. Brush the oil
mixture over both sides of each tortilla.
Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut the
tortillas into thin strips. Arrange the
strips in a single layer on a rimmed
baking sheet. Bake the strips on the
ovens middle shelf for 6 to 8 minutes,
or until crispy. Sprinkle with salt, let
cool completely, then break them up
slightly. Set aside.
To prepare the salsa, in a food processor, combine the tomatillos, scallions,
cilantro, lime juice, chili and garlic.
Pulse until the ingredients are almost
smooth with a few small chunks.
In a medium skillet over medium, heat
the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatillo mixture and simmer
gently, stirring occasionally, for 10
minutes. If the mixture gets too dry, add
1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and
pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet,
skin sides down, then cover the skillet
tightly and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Turn the salmon over, cover tightly
and simmer gently until the salmon is
almost cooked through, about another
5 minutes. Remove the pan from the
heat and let the salmon stand for 3 minutes, covered, before serving.
To serve, transfer a portion of salmon
to each of 4 plates, then top each with
sauce and tortilla strips.

This recipe is pretty quick and easy to make, but you can
streamline it even further by picking up green salsa and baked
tortilla chips at the supermarket.

Happy 2016: Time for resolutions big, small

By Leanne Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Sure, sure, sure. Youre

gonna quit smoking, lose weight, get
organized and work for world peace in
2016.
And were pulling for you. We really are.
You can do it!
New Years resolutions come as big
strokes and small victories, along with a
high rate of failure. Is it best to reach for
the stars or make a petite promise? We
asked a few folks about their plans to do
better, go bigger or simply baby step it
outside the box next year.

SEVEN MARATHONS
IN SEVEN DAYS
You heard it right. Aimee Shilling, a 35year-old mother of four in East Canton,
Ohio, has signed up to run seven
marathons in seven days come October.
And shell be doing it to raise money for
World Visions run for water program.
Clean water initiatives have been a goal
since she took a mission trip to Jamaica
in 2000. Running has been a passion
since she joined the cross-country team in
high school. Shes a regular marathoner
and ultra-marathoner, rising at 4 a.m. at
least three days a week to run with friends,
returning home to get her kids up and
ready for school.
Shilling has done back-to-back
marathons before, but never seven consecutively. The new year aside, she made a
promise to herself long ago to run 40
marathons or ultra-marathons before her
40th birthday. The seventh race in her 7in-7 series would be her 40th, so shes
ahead of schedule.
As long as I can start the series
healthy, Im pretty confident. None of
them will be fast, Shilling laughed.

Angelino, but at 26 he considers himself

someone who is more introspective by
nature. Hence, hes been reluctant to grab
his city by the tail.
I thrive in new settings and environments, Ashkenazi said, its just at times
Im too hesitant to put myself out there.
That will hopefully change with his
new spreadsheet. He has broken up his
get-out-of-the-house goals into categories: activities, concerts, restaurants,
bars, outdoors and nightlife. He got an
early start with a couple of hikes.
Among his first adventures come 2016:
The Broad contemporary art museum, an

at the Getty Center and the Chill at The

So what took him so long?

Ashkenazi said, and now that Im older I
want to take full advantage of everything.

TWIST AND CLOSE

Meanwhile in Northern California,
Joanne Papini in Walnut Creek has a small
problem thats annoying the heck out of
her. She doesnt close drawers, cabinets,
boxes anything with a lid, really. She
sort of half closes things, like the top of
the mayo in the fridge or the inner lining
of the cereal box, along with the cereal
box itself.
And at 54, shes beginning to wonder
what it all means.
I know that sounds weird but not closing things has become a problem for me.
Do I think Im saving time by having
things left open? Am I airing out my pencil drawer, Papini ponders, or am I just
rebelling?
Papini lives alone. Rather, shes the
only one with opposable thumbs in her
household. But she cant blame her two

I just see it as a sign of chaos in my

life. It seems like it translates into maybe
not enough respect for my belongings and
a lack of self-care, she said.
Papini comes from a jam it, cram it

the stuffing of things into drawers into
leaving drawers open.
As for not twisting lids completely
closed, she cant figure out if shes (a) trying to save time, (b) lazy about it or (c) I
might want it later so Ill just skip this

Cloth diapering was really the catalyst

she said.
She and her husband already use a plastic-free water filtration system, with charcoal that can be composted after six
months. She stopped buying paper towels
and eliminated numerous other small plastic and disposable items.
But Im still staring at a full garbage
each week and its frustrating, Bay Tyack
said. Were mindful consumers. We shop
at our farmers market and yet were still
producing so much garbage.
Shes still using plastic garbage bags,
for instance.
A zero waste lifestyle is an exciting
