Keeping the holidays green

San Mateo County advises residents on how to recycle, compost trees
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the holidays come to a close, residents are urged to reduce their carbon
footprint by making sure their seasonal celebrations and decorations dont
have a lasting effect on the environment.
If youve unwrapped all the gifts and
ready to dispose of your Christmas
tree, San Mateo County recyclers are

eager to help.
From the coast to the Bay, trash collectors announced special holiday
pickups through January designed to
make repurposing your Christmas tree
a breeze.
We want to make sure theyre going
to a better place than just simply the
landfill, said Gordon Tong, program
manager with the countys Office of
Sustainability. The less waste that
goes into the landfill, especially

organic waste like trees, the more it

helps our climate action plan goals
because organic waste is a big contributor of methane in landfills when it
decomposes.
Between Thanksgiving and New
Years Day, more than 1 million tons
of additional waste is generated in the
United States every day, according to
CalRecycle.

With new state laws targeting guns

taking hold, the past couple weeks
have been a boon for Peninsula
weapon sellers serving locals fearing
the repercussions of tighter restrictions.
Two Burlingame gun sellers said
they have enjoyed a significant sales
bump over the second half of the year
following California legislators passing laws aiming to make it more difficult to buy assault-style weapons and
ammunition.
It is supply and demand, said John

Parkin, owner of Coyote Point

Armory. If it is going to be taken
away from you, you have to get it
while you still can.
Scott Jackson, owner of Bay Area
Firearms, shared a similar perspective
and claimed his store has been making

over recent months.

Santa back on Facebook

after proving his identity
FAIRBANKS Santa Claus'
Facebook account has been reinstated after the social media company
suspended his access and demanded
proof of identity on Christmas Day.
Claus, a North Pole city councilman, said he was never given a reason why his page was blocked. He
said he thought Facebook didn't
believe his name was Santa Claus or
that he lived in North Pole.
A Facebook spokeswoman apologized in an email Tuesday for suspending Claus' account and said it
was done by mistake.
" Th e acco un t was remo v ed i n

To get his account reinstated, Claus
said he sent multiple documents
proving his identity, including
copies of his Alaska driver's license
and letter of appointment to the
North Pole City Council. Claud said
he is the only Santa Claus on
Facebook who resides in the city and
legally goes by the name.
"I just can't believe somebody,
particularly on Christmas, would
take me to task, " he said.

before 3:23 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 24.

Burlingame lawyer hopes to shed

light on one of the darkest chapters
in American history: The 1963
assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Mark Shaw, a former criminal defense
attorney and legal analyst for USA Today,
has written several books, the latest The
Reporter Who Knew Too Much. The subtitle of the just released book reads The
Mysterious Death of Whats My Line TV
Star and Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen.
On Nov. 8, 1965 Kilgallen was found dead
in her New York townhouse from what was
ofcially listed as an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol. Her death ended a stellar
career that included an exclusive interview
with Jack Ruby, who fatally shot accused
JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
No police investigation followed even
though friends believed Kilgallen was murdered, Shaw said. Afraid to speak out, they
remained silent about Kilgallen, a gifted
wordsmith who broke the glass ceiling by
succeeding in a mans world before that term
was even used.
Kilgallen, a powerful newspaper columnist who could make or break a career, was
denied the justice she deserved, Shaw said in
calling on the Manhattan District
Attorneys ofce to re-open the case. The
New York Post dubbed Kilgallen the most
powerful female voice in America. In addition to her column, she was also a regular on
the Whats My Line television panel
show which can still be seen on retro channels.
Shaw said his quest for justice was sparked
by comments by legendary San Francisco
attorney Melvin Belli, who was briey
Rubys attorney.
Theyve killed Dorothy, now theyll go
after Ruby, Belli is quoted as saying. My
collecting that quote happened when I wrote
Melvin Belli, King of the Courtroom years
ago, Shaw said. Ruby died of cancer in
1967.
Conspiracy
theories
involving
Kilgallens death have been kicking around
for several years but Shaw told the Rear

REDWOOD CITY
Dorothy Kilgallen is the focus of the most recent book by Burlingame attorney Mark Shaw.
View Mirror that he has new evidence that a
main suspect is still alive and living in
Ohio.
Shaw said his research shows Kilgallen was
killed for writing a tell-all book for Random
House about the JFK assassination exposing
shocking evidence she uncovered. The thick
JFK assassination le Kilgallen had amassed
disappeared never to be seen again, the author
said. This caused the Random House book
solely on that subject to die along with her.
Conspiracies aside, Shaws book is worth
the read. It captures the 60s well. In this
day of instant messaging, it is difcult to
imagine the power Kilgallen had. Her
scathing Voice of Broadway column in the
Journal-American triggered hatred from
television, lm and Broadway personalities
experiencing her wrath, Shaw writes. The
column was syndicated to more than 200
newspapers across the nation. Kilgallen
also upset government ofcials through
dogged investigative skills exposing secret
documents before their ofcial date of
release.
The book has a cast of characters that
includes Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover and
Maa Don Carlos Marcello. Theres also
pop singer Johnny Ray, who had an affair
with Kilgallen, a married woman and a
mother.
Kilgallens husband was Richard Kollmar,
an actor who played the title role in the popular Boston Blackie radio series during
the late 1940s. The show is remembered by

people of a certain age for its trademark

opening that described Blackie as an
enemy of those who make him an enemy.
Friend to those who have no friend. The
rst part of that line could serve as an epitaph for Dorothy Kilgallen.

strong in the Warriors' colors, blue and
yellow, during the game. They were auctioned to an anonymous bidder for
$30,101.
Curry autographed both pairs of the Under

All of the proceeds of the auction will go
to the Oakland Fire Relief fund organized by
the Oakland Athletics on YouCaring.com,
to which 3, 618 donors have donated
$551,015 as of this morning.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze

to the clinic and extinguished it about an

The building however sustained major
damage, Samson said.
Investigators are looking into what
caused the fire.

Afghan refugees coming to California struggle with PTSD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias capital

has emerged as a leading destination for
Afghan refugees who were awarded special
visas because of their service to coalition
forces in the war. But life in the United
States for them has proven a constant
struggle.
These former translators, engineers and
doctors awarded Special Immigrant Visas
must start over in bug-infested, low-rent
apartments with minimum-wage jobs while
dealing with PTSD and other health problems, the Sacramento Bee reported .
More than 2,000 such visa holders and
their family members have settled in
Sacramento since October 2010, and many
of them say they are struggling with anxi-

ety and depression that have developed or

been greatly exacerbated by their struggles
in the United States. They say they feel
helpless and abandoned, lacking decent
jobs, housing or an understanding of U.S.
culture.
One of them is Faisal Razmal, a former
interpreter for U.S. soldiers battling the
Taliban in Afghanistan who was shot in the
face in front of his Sacramento apartment
in August 2015 by an assailant wielding a
are gun. A neighborhood teenager and
alleged member of a gang has been charged
and is awaiting trial.
Razmal, 28, who lost the sight in one eye
after the attack, said he feels like he also
lost a piece of his soul.
I feel like Im drowning here, said
Razmal, a father of two and whose wife is

expecting. Im not mentally xed.

Before he was shot, Razmal worked as a
security guard at a shopping center. Since
then, he has tried working as a taxi driver,
gas station attendant, security guard and
dishwasher. But his limited vision and
PTSD have compromised his ability to
keep a job, said licensed clinical social
worker Jason Swain, who has counseled
Razmal 18 times since the assault.
Razmals fate and his ability to support
his family remain uncertain. The state
Department of Rehabilitation said a decision on his application for disability payments may take a year, Swain said.
Razmal, who survived roadside bombs
and reghts during the war, said he was
never evaluated for PTSD in Afghanistan or
the United States.

Razmals therapist, Homeyra Ghaffari,

said she thinks he was already aficted with
PTSD from his experiences in Afghanistan,
and he was re-traumatized by his shooting here.
People hear about America and think it
is a dreamland and everything is law and
order and they are going to be absolutely
safe, and when they enter they are in shock
as they try to nd their way around, said
Ghaffari, an Iranian marriage and family
therapist in Sacramento who speaks the
same Dari language as the Afghan refugees.
She now counsels about 30 Afghans seeking help with mental health and domestic
violence issues.
They feel isolated, dont have any clear
direction, she said. Their dream shatters
right away.

Help wanted: Bilingual teachers for California schools

By Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES While Californians

passed a ballot measure to bring back
bilingual education in the upcoming
school year, educators say a challenge to
getting the programs started will be finding more bilingual teachers.
Nearly two decades after banning most
bilingual education, Californians voted
in November to let schools restore it for
both English learners and English speakers whose parents want them to learn
Spanish, Mandarin and other languages to
compete globally for jobs.
Educators say growing interest in bilingual programs will boost already high

demand for teachers trained and credentialed to teach the classes. Schools that
already have such programs in California
and in other states, including Utah and
Oregon have brought teachers on visas
from overseas to meet the need.
There is already a shortage for bilingual teachers with just the demand we
have right now, said Joshua Speaks, a
spokesman
for
the
California
Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
The overwhelming vote in favor of
Proposition 58 is a huge turnaround from
the backlash to bilingual education following a surge in immigration to
California in the 1990s. Since then, some
schools have started bilingual programs
but parents of English learners had to

California Coastal Commissioner quits

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Wendy Mitchell, a

member of the California Coastal
Commission who supported the controversial ouster of the agencys executive director earlier this year, has resigned.
The Los Angeles Times reports Mitchell
sent a resignation letter Friday to Gov.
Jerry Brown, saying she would step down

immediately after six years on the powerful

panel.
Commissioners are decision-makers for
the land use agency, which oversees 1,100
miles of coastline.
Mitchell, a government affairs consultant and former legislative aide, was one of
seven commissioners who voted in
February to fire Executive Director Charles
Lester, a 24-year veteran of the agency.

sign annual waivers for their children to

participate, and many districts were reluctant to take on the paperwork.
Since the measure passed and with
73. 5 percent of the vote many schools
are expected to expand bilingual offerings
or start new programs. Among the most
popular models are so-called dual language immersion programs mixing
English learners and English speakers in
the classroom and splitting instructional
time between English and another language.
The states Department of Education
estimates California currently has at least
350 dual language immersion programs,
though the vast majority of the states
1. 4 million English learners are currently

taught using English immersion. Robert

Oakes, a department spokesman, could
not say how many districts will start
bilingual programs, but expects many
will.
There is a hope and an expectation
there will be a big expansion, he said.
California is already facing a teacher
shortage following the economic downturn. Areas where teachers are needed most
include special education, science and
bilingual education, Speaks said.
To obtain authorization to teach bilingual classes, teachers must take additional courses and pass additional exams. In
the 2014-15 year, the state issued about
400 bilingual authorizations, Speaks
said.

Refugee youths find safe haven in Boy Scouts of America

EVERGREEN, Colo. Boy Scouts Jean

Tuyishime and Moise Tuyikunde sit around a

crowded Gihembe refugee camp, built on a
sprawling and dusty expanse of land in
northern Rwanda.
The brothers were born in the camp after
their parents ed violence in 1996 in what

ored crosswalks and a small plaza with
benches at a major intersection connecting
pedestrian and bicycle traffic from San
Carlos downtown and transit centers.
Though the changes may appear minor in
comparison to other Peninsula developments, they are paving the way for the future
look and feel of El Camino Real. The Grand
Boulevard Initiative is leading the charge to
reimagine and improve the major thoroughfares functionality, safety and aesthetics.
The effort is a collaboration between 19
cities and local agencies through which El
Camino Real runs, from Daly City to San
Jose, according to the initiatives website.
At an awards ceremony earlier this month,
a task force within the Grand Boulevard
Initiative recognized the San Carlos
streetscape as one of five projects or plans
embodying 10 guiding principles set forth
by member agencies that define the Grand
Boulevard Initiative vision.
The priorities along the corridor include
housing and job growth, multimodal access
to public and private areas, balanced transportation optionality, attractive public

a quintessential American experience

Boy Scouts.
But the troop Jean, 15, and Moise, 12,
joined is not like many others in the United
States. Troop 1532 is composed almost
entirely of refugees who hail from far-ung
places like Burma, Rwanda and Nepal.
At campouts, traditional American food
like hot dogs and trail burgers is replaced by
sh head stew, re-roasted corn and
Chatpate, a popular Nepalese street snack.
Smores are still a staple.
While the troop deals with challenges and
problems unique to the refugee population,
its leaders say it also helps kids adjust to
American culture while providing an additional refuge.
Its somewhere where they can be totally
unafraid to be their authentic self, said
Justin Wilson, one of the troops leaders

and the executive director of the nonprot

group Scouts for Equality.
The political climate seems stacked
against refugees and immigrants in general,
he said at the recent campout, where multiple languages lled the air and scouts kicked
a soccer ball between several well-worn Aframe tents.
I think its really important for them to
see that people care about them, that people
are going out of their way to provide a service for refugees, Wilson said.
Troop 1532, formed in 2014, also provides a blueprint for other Boy Scout groups
to attract some of the tens of thousands of
refugees who could make the United States
home in the coming years.
Its unclear how many of the nations
2. 3 million scouts are refugees, but few
programs are as equipped to help children

learn and embrace American culture, Effie

Delimarkos, a Boy Scouts of America
spokeswoman, said in an email to The
Associated Press.
Scouting also helps build resiliency in
children that have lived through more
than any child should have to bear, she
said, noting the organization emphasizes
duty to country and proactive citizenship.
But Wilson and Dr. P.J. Parmar, a physician who started the troop in conjunction
with a refugee clinic he runs in the Denver
area, say the kids varied backgrounds present unique challenges that more homogenous troops dont face.
Difculties keeping adult leaders and
maintaining membership make it hard to
focus on earning merit badges and advancing in rank.

spaces, improved public safety and health,

as well as environmentally- and economically-viable developments.
San Carlos Mayor Bob Grassilli, who previously served on initiatives task force,
discussed the plans goals.
The concept of the Grand Boulevard is
looking at El Camino Real as a grand boulevard, he said. There are some parts of it
that arent as attractive as wed like it to be.
Wed like to make it out to be a thoroughfare
[so you can have] bikes and walking together.
Grassilli noted that the San Carlos City
Council and staff look to the Grand
Boulevard Initiative as an advisory commission, providing guidance on projects such
as the new streetscape at El Camino Real and
Arroyo Road.
San Carlos focus on the Grand Boulevard
Initiatives guiding principles drew the
attention of those looking to exemplify the
GBIs vision. April Chan, chief planning
officer at SamTrans, has been working on
the Grand Boulevard Initiative since 2012
when she began overseeing the projects
general direction. She helped coordinate a
scoring process for this years awards ceremony, but did not assign scores herself. A
working committee comprised of a subset of
the task force scored 15 projects submitted
for consideration.

In general, we evaluate [them] to see how

well they met the principles, said Chan.
To the extent that [a project] meets more of
those, we look at it more closely. The City
of San Carlos project floated to the top.
Chan noted that the working committee
was particularly impressed with how well
the San Carlos streetscape addressed almost
all of the guiding principles.
The construction project replaced a leftturn lane on the southbound side of El
Camino Real with a median containing a
waiting area for pedestrians. Existing sidewalks were widened, and new ones put in
place on the east side of El Camino Real
which had been covered almost entirely with
gravel between the curb and the railroad
tracks prior to the updates.
Crosswalks were made more visible by
being repainted with a series of vertical
lines instead of just two parallel lines crossing El Camino Real. A public gathering
space with benches adjacent to the pedestrian and bicycle crossing underneath the railroad tracks was also added to the intersection. The improvements increased the areas
greenery, drainage and seating to make it
more attractive as a pedestrian thoroughfare.
Curb extensions on either side of the street,
accompanied by the addition of a designated
bike lane at the intersection increases clarity between car, bicycle and pedestrian lanes.

Improved street lighting and pedestrian

pushbuttons bolster pedestrian safety while
increasing traffic pattern visibility.
For Chan, the awards are an opportunity
for the Grand Boulevard Initiative to showcase exemplary projects that are taking
shape along the El Camino Real corridor.
She has seen several projects and plans
come under the review of the awards working
committee, and looks forward to seeing
some of the plans submitted come to
fruition.
It takes some time for planned projects to
be constructed, she said. Initially, we were
looking at planned projects to see if they are
meeting principles. Now, we are actually
seeing projects constructed.
San Carlos Councilman Ron Collins currently serves on the Grand Boulevard
Initiative task force, representing the City
of San Carlos. He noted the complexity of
meeting objectives outlined by the Grand
Boulevard Initiative in conjunction with
existing city projects, including the development of an improved transit center at the
San Carlos Caltrain station, for which construction is underway.
What we did is we develop a design that
was along the lines of what the task force
wanted and fit in with our transit center, he
said.

Trump still not sold on claims of Russian link to hacking

By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH, Fla.

President-elect Donald Trump says

that no computer is safe when it
comes to keeping information
private, expressing new skepticism about the security of online
communications his administration is likely to use for everything
from day-to-day planning to international relations.
Trump rarely uses email or computers, despite his frequent tweeting.
You know, if you have something really important, write it out
and have it delivered by courier,
the old-fashioned way, Trump
told reporters during his annual
New Years Eve bash. Because Ill
tell you what: No computer is
safe.
Trump has repeatedly cast aside

allegations by
U.S.
intelligence agencies
that Russia tried
to inuence the
p r e s i de n t i a l
e l e c t i o n
through hacking. President
Donald Trump Barack Obama
ordered sanctions on Russian spy agencies last
week, closed two Russian compounds and expelled 35 diplomats
the U.S. said were really spies.
The Russian government has
denied the allegations.
Trump plans to meet with intelligence ofcials in coming days
to learn more about the allegations. He said he wants U.S. ofcials to be sure because its a
pretty serious charge. He pointed
to intelligence failures over the
existence of weapons of mass

destruction in Iraq before the U.S.

invasion, and declared himself an
expert in the area.
I know a lot about hacking, he
said, and hacking is a very hard
thing to prove, so it could be
somebody else.
He added, cryptically, that he
also knows things that other
people dont know. And so they
cannot be sure of the situation.
Asked what he knows, he said:
Youll nd out on Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Trump made the comments during
at his Mar-a-Lago club. Hundreds of
guests gathered in the clubs grand
ballroom, including action star
Sylvester Stallone and romance
novel model Fabio. Reporters were
invited to watch as guests arrived.
Earlier in the day, Trump ditched
his press pool, traveling to play
golf at one of his clubs without
journalists on hand to ensure the

public has knowledge of his

whereabouts.
A member of Trumps golf club
in Jupiter, Florida, posted a photo
on Twitter of Trump on the greens
Saturday morning and said about
25 U.S. Secret Service agents
accompanied the president-elect.
Reporters had not been advised of
the visit to the club.
Transition
aide Stephanie
Grisham conrmed that Trump had
made a last-minute trip to Trump
National Golf Club Jupiter, which
is about a half-hour drive from
Mar-a-Lago, where Trump has been
spending the holidays. He returned
to the estate at midafternoon.
Grisham said that she and other
aides werent aware of the trip and
appreciate everyones understanding.
We are in the home stretch of
this transition period and dont
anticipate any additional situa-

tions like this between now and

inauguration, she said in a statement.
Before he went golng Saturday,
Trump tweeted an unusual New
Years message to friends and foes:
Happy New Year to all, including
to my many enemies and those
who have fought me and lost so
badly they just dont know what to
do. Love!
With the arrival of 2017, another New Years message moved on
Trumps Twitter account at about
midnight.
This one was decidedly more
upbeat, addressed to all Americans,
and included an abbreviation for
his campaign slogan: Make
America Great Again.
To
all
AmericansHappyNewYear & many blessings
to you all! Looking forward to a
wonderful & prosperous 2017 as
we work together to #MAGA.

Obama has limited options to protect young immigrants

By Alicia A. Caldwell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Barack Obama

is under pressure during his nal
weeks as president to do something anything to secure the
future of hundreds of thousands of
immigrants brought to the U.S. as
children who could face deportation under the Trump administration. His options appear few.
At least 50 congressional
Democrats are pushing Obama to
take the rare if not unprecedented
step of granting pardons to the
young immigrants who have
stepped forward to identify themselves in exchange for a promise

that theyd be
safe from deportation.
The
White House,
though,
has
repeatedly ruled
that out.
S e v e r a l
Republican laware
Barack Obama makers
crafting
legislative proposals to solidify the
place of these immigrants, sometimes called Dreamers, before
Donald Trump takes ofce Jan. 20.
Similar efforts have repeatedly
failed, even with Democratic
majorities in both chambers of
Congress, so the likelihood of a

legislative Hail Mary isnt great.

That leaves more than 741,000
immigrants wondering whats
next.
Trumps plans for Obamas
Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program are unclear. As a
candidate, he pledged an immediate end to what he called an illegal executive amnesty. But as the
president-elect, he has softened
that stance.
Were going to work something out thats going to make
people happy and proud, Trump
told Time magazine last month.
They got brought here at a very
young age, theyve worked here,
theyve gone to school here.

Some were good students. Some

have wonderful jobs. And theyre
in never-never land because they
dont know whats going to happen.
Obamas program allowed
young immigrants who came to
the United States as children to
come forward and go through
background checks in exchange
for a promise they would be safe
from deportation and allowed to
apply for work permits. They must
reapply for the program and work
permits every two years.
While the government promised
approved immigrants that they
wouldnt face deportation, the program does not provide a legal

immigration status. Under Trump,

their personal information, and
that of some relatives, could soon
be readily accessible to immigration enforcement ofcials.
When Obama announced the
plan in 2012, he said he was taking executive action because
Congress hadnt acted.
This is not amnesty, this is not
immunity, Obama said at the
time. He called the program a
stopgap measure that would protect young immigrants from
deportation while his immigration agencies focused enforcement
efforts on criminal immigrants
and those who pose a threat to
public safety.

Addressing the states housing crisis

Other voices

San Diego Union

he decision by several
Democrats in the California
Legislature to already start
pushing their 2017 housing proposals is a welcome sign that they grasp
the cost of housing is the biggest
issue in California, responsible for
the Golden States emergence as the
center of poverty in America and a
constant, never-ending problem for
the poor and much of the middle class
alike.
Unfortunately, even if all the proposals made it into law, the cumulative effect is unlikely to be nearly as
positive as what would have happened
had the Legislature approved Gov.
Jerry Browns rejected proposal to
streamline regulatory approvals of
market-rate housing in residentialzoned areas. So far, state lawmakers
are not rising to the occasion.
Assembly housing committee
Chairman David Chiu, D-San
Francisco, Assembly Speaker pro Tem
Kevin Mullin, D-San Mateo,
Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San
Francisco, Assemblywoman Anna
Caballero, D-Salinas, and Miguel
Santiago, D-Los Angeles, have proposed four housing-related bills.
The measure that got the most
attention would end the mortgageinterest deduction tax break for second homes, freeing up $300 million

for a state program that pays for

affordable-housing construction. The
measure that may have the most
potential would provide funding to
the Attorney Generals Ofce with the
intent of getting it to begin enforcing
existing state laws obligating local
communities to approve housing. The
other measures would create incentives for local approval of high-density, transit-oriented inll housing
and create a state program to fund
housing for chronically homeless
individuals on Medi-Cal who receive
county-funded services.
On the Senate side, the most
notable housing legislation to
emerge is from Sen. Toni Atkins, DSan Diego, and Sen. Jim Beall, D-San
Jose, who have revived the idea of
adding a $75 fee to real estate transactions to generate funding for lowincome housing construction. They
also propose asking state voters in
2018 to approve a $3 billion bond to
nance low-income housing.
The San Diego Union-Tribune
Editorial Board accepts the good
intentions of these lawmakers but
not their appreciation of history.
Whether or not theyre robustly funded, housing strategies that heavily
rely on state-subsidized construction
have no record of broadly addressing
affordable housing because they dont

create nearly enough new housing

stock. A McKinsey Global Institute
report says California needs an additional 3.5 million homes by 2025 but
is on track to only add 1 million.
Yet of all the states high-prole
Democrats, only Gov. Brown seems
willing to jump-start the needed construction boom by weakening environmental laws to automatically
approve properly zoned residential
projects that set aside as few as 5 percent of their units as affordable.
Instead, these Democrats heed the
wishes of two of their most powerful
factions unions and environmentalists who have long used these
laws to extract concessions or payoffs for their pet causes or to block
projects that wont pay union-scale
construction wages or are found unacceptable.
This conundrum at some point
needs to trigger genuine soul-searching among California Democrats. If
they believe in social and economic
justice as much as they say, how can
they tolerate a housing situation
statewide thats so extraordinarily
punitive to so many struggling families? Thats going to force many
young residents to leave the state?
That imposes a constant, gnawing
pressure on millions of Californians?
Good intentions wont begin to
address a problem thats becoming
insurmountable. That will take something much different: political
courage.

Its true that civilians visiting

prison guards make a lot of money by

California prison guards have no

of search before entering the prison
grounds or the housing units. The
prison guards union ghts tooth and

too much money to search the guards.
Implementing a security check for

Over the holidays we visited Sunnylands in Rancho
Mirage. You need to make reservations a month in
advance before your
planned visit and tickets
are pricey but it is worth
it. Sunnylands is the former winter home of
Leonore and Walter
Annenberg. They found
the most picturesque spot
in the deserted desert with
a magnificent view of the
mountains as a back drop
and built a 15-acre dream
house which became the
vacation-work destination
for many U.S. presidents
starting with Jimmy
Carter. For Nancy and
Ronald Regan it was the closest thing to heaven and
they were frequent visitors. For Richard Nixon it was a
place he found refuge after Watergate and resignation.
President Obama also used it as a place to negotiate a
treaty with Japan and a beautiful place to play golf.
The stunning architecture (one story Southern
California style), the amazing private collection of
impressionist art work, the expansive gardens and landscape are all done in good taste. Expensive, beautiful,
but not lavish or grotesque. (nothing like a Trump
hotel, casino or golf course.)
Walter Annenberg, former editor of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, made his fortune in journalism with the publication of Seventeen magazine and TV Guide. His second wife, Leonore was the niece of Harry Cohn, founder
of Columbia Pictures and one of Hollywoods moguls.
Her connection to Hollywood meant that in addition to
presidents, Sunnylands was a place for celebrity movie
stars to unwind. President Nixon appointed Walter as
ambassador to Great Britain and President Reagan
appointed Leonore as chief of protocol of the U.S. The
Annenbergs reign at Sunnylands with their famous
guests is documented in a history laden movie everyone
sees before getting on a nine passenger golf cart for the
tour.

Shame, Shame on those Hillsborough millionaires
who are suing CalWater because they dont want to pay
stiff fines for overwatering. Their claim is that they
have huge and expensive homes with lots of landscaping which need three times more water than everyone
else, no matter that the rest of us let our lawns go
brown, take short or less frequent showers, do the dishes camp style, etc. How selfish can people get? Shame!
Shame! Shame! And by the way those brown lawns are
now a beautiful shade of green thanks to the recent rain.

A recent notice in Reporters Notebook caught my
eye. Angela Davis was the keynote speaker at Skyline
College. Davis was identified as a civil rights activist,
not the member of the Black Panthers who in 1970 was
prosecuted for being involved in the murder of a Marin
County Judge and three others (she supposedly bought
the guns for the prisoners) but was acquitted. Davis has
written Are Prisons Obsolete and is a frequent speaker
on school campi. One of my granddaughters asked me to
buy Davis book as a holiday present. I asked her for
another suggestion, sharing my memories of Davis. But
my granddaughter, who may be wise beyond her years,

49ers fire head coach Chip Kelly and GM Baalke

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco general

manager Trent Baalke has been fired and
coach Chip Kelly is meeting with team CEO
Jed York to determine his status after the
49ers tied a franchise record for losses in a
season.
While the team has made no official
announcement on any possible changes,
Baalke confirmed his firing during his
pregame interview with the teams flagship

radio station KNBR.

Kelly said after San
Franciscos 25-23 loss to
Seattle that he would meet
with York. The loss meant
the 49ers (2-14) tied the
worst record in franchise
history previously done
in 1978, 79 and 2004.
ESPN reported Saturday
Chip Kelly
night that both Baalke and
Kelly are expected to be fired after the season.
I control what I can control, Kelly said.

All we can control is how

we coach our players and
what we do with them. If
thats good enough, its
good enough. It its not
good enough, so be it.
Baalke helped build the
roster that made three
straight trips to the NFC
Trent Baalke title game from 2011-13
and one Super Bowl
appearance. But the team has had declining
win totals the past three seasons, including a

record 13-game losing streak this season.

It didnt surprise me, Baalke told the radio
station. Weve done some awful good
things. Some very successful seasons.
Unfortunately regret we werent able to
bring a championship to the Bay Area, which
they so deserve. I think the faithful has been
great. Wish this organization nothing, but
the best moving forward. I do see a bright
future for them.

DENVER The Oakland Raiders had a lot

to lose Sunday and they did.
Another quarterback.
The division.
A week off.
In a game that couldnt have gone much
worse, Oakland lost starting quarterback
Matt McGloin to a shoulder injury in the
first half and then fell 24-6 on Sunday to a
Denver Broncos team with nothing to play
for and now in need of a new coach.
Gary Kubiak informed his players in an
emotional postgame locker room that hes
stepping away for health reasons.
Combined with Kansas Citys win over
San Diego, the Raiders (12-4) squandered the
AFC West title and the first-round bye that
went with it and instead fell to the No. 5
seed, where they travel to Houston.
I tell guys all the time: You get what you
earn in this league, Raiders coach Jack Del
Rio said. And we didnt do enough to earn a
win tonight.
Leading Oakland into next weeks game
could be rookie Connor Cook if the injury
to McGloin proves serious.
McGloin, who got the start when Derek Carr
broke his leg last week, left late in the second
quarter. He completed six passes for 21 yards,
missing virtually every throw downfield.
A fourth-year player out of Penn State,
McGloin was making his first start since
2013. He was hurt when Jared Crick
slammed him to the turf, drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty. Moments before
that play, McGloin overthrew a wide-open
Amari Cooper.
I wanted to play out there tonight,
McGloin said. If Im not 100 percent

USC, Penn St. back in Rose Bowl after trying times

By Greg Beacham

PASADENA The matchup in the 103rd

in late September.
That was right before No. 5 Penn State (112) won nine straight games and No. 9

Indeed, this season has been phenomenal for both teams since those rocky

Seahawks 25, 49ers 23

Niners fall short in finale

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA With his game still in

doubt, Seattle coach Pete Carroll made what
he described as an uncomfortable decision.
With the chance of a rst-round bye all but
gone with Atlanta holding a comfortable
lead, Carroll pulled quarterback Russell
Wilson and other key players to keep them
fresh for next weeks playoff game.
Wilson threw for 258 yards and a touchdown before being replaced in the fourth quarter and the Seahawks rallied from an early 11point decit to beat San Francisco 25-23 on
Sunday in what was coach Chip Kellys nal
game with the 49ers.
Hours after the game, the team announced
that Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke
had been red.
I hate backing off any time ever, Carroll
said. I cant remember doing it very many
times. I just thought we were able to do something to protect ourselves for next week. I did
not want to be planning for that. It just kind

of happened and it just seemed like we (were)

able to do something to help, and it worked
out ne.
The Falcons wrapped up a bye with a 38-32
win over New Orleans, sending the NFC West
champion Seahawks (10-5-1) to the playoffs
as the third seed. The Seahawks will host the
loser of Sunday nights game between Detroit
and Green Bay next week.
Seattle had control of the race for the No. 2
seed before losing at home last week to
Arizona but heads into the playoffs with the
condence of a team that has been to two of
the past three Super Bowls, winning it all
after the 2013 season.
Sometimes you get it and it knocks you
off your rhythm, cornerback Richard
Sherman said. Sometimes you get it and it
gives you a chance to rest. At this point were
about as healthy as were going to be. We
dont need it.
The loss capped a disappointing season for
the 49ers (2-14), who matched the franchise
record for losses in a season previously
reached in 1978, 79 and 2004.

So, we probably didnt win enough games.
The Niners started fast with touchdowns on
two of their rst three drives, but were outgained 366-99 over the nal three quarters as
Wilson delivered numerous big plays and
Seattle shut down Colin Kaepernick and the
San Francisco offense.
Trevone Boykin, who replaced Wilson,
converted a pair of third downs with Seattle
protecting a two-point lead to help run out

It was a great job of getting in there and
get it done, Carroll said. He put together a
great drive with the guys up front, to nish
the game.

Fast start, slow finish

Kaepernick completed his rst 10 passes
and Shaun Draughn scored on a pair of 1-yard
runs to give the Niners a 14-3 lead. That
marked the fth time this season San

poor drafts, a power struggle with Harbaugh

and three straight years of declining win
totals led to his ouster.

Baalke originally joined the Niners as a

scout in 2005 and quickly worked his way up
to director of player personnel where he
helped
then-general
manager
Scot
McCloughan put together many of the pieces
of the team that would be one of the most talented in the league.

Milestone

Jim Harbaugh following the 2014 season.

The team went 5-11 last season and fired
Jim Tomsula and now appear to be moving on
from Kelly as well, which would mark the first
time in nearly four decades that a team fired
coaches in successive years after just one-year
tenures.
The only other time that happened since the
1970 merger came when San Francisco fired
Monte Clark after the 1976 season and Ken
Meyer the following year. The Niners then
fired Pete McCulley midway through the 1978
season and interim coach Fred OConnor after
the year before hiring Bill Walsh to start a
dynasty that featured five Super Bowl titles.
Its frustrating were in this position
again, left tackle Joe Staley said. As a player you have to look at yourself first. What can
I do next season to make sure were not in this
position.
The 49ers lost 13 straight games at one
point this season and their only wins came
against the Rams. San Francisco set franchise
worsts for points, total yards and yards rushing allowed in a season and blew four doubledigit leads in eight home games.
When we lose like we did and have a season
like we had, changes are made, or can be
made, receiver Torrey Smith said. Thats
from coaches to players. Its all of us. We were
all a part of the problem. Thats why our
record is what it was.
Baalke had a dramatic fall after getting credit for helping build the roster that was one of
the NFLs best from 2011-13. But a string of

Baalke replaced McCloughan as the top

front office executive shortly before the 2010
draft and came away from that with a load of
talent led by Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati and
NaVorro Bowman.
Baalke was given the title of general manager the following year when the Niners hired
Harbaugh as coach and Baalke had another
successful draft that featured All-Pro pass rusher Aldon Smith and quarterback Colin
Kaepernick with his first two picks.
The talent well went dry after that. Despite
having 51 picks since 2012, Baalke has not
added an impact player in any of those five
drafts.
Baalke has made a habit of drafting injured
players in hopes that a year off to get healthy
will turn those players into high-value picks.
That strategy has not worked as only two of
the seven players he drafted the past four years
coming off significant knee injuries have
even played a game in the NFL this season.
Perhaps the biggest issue with Baalkes
drafting is hesitancy to take skill position
players. Since 2012, Baalke has had 15 picks
in the first three rounds and used just one
second-round running back Carlos Hyde in
2013 on a quarterback, receiver or running
back.

Chargers fire coach Mike McCoy after another last-place finish

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO The San Diego Chargers

fired Mike McCoy following a second
straight last-place finish in the AFC West and
a third straight season out of the playoffs.
The team announced McCoys firing about
an hour after the Chargers lost 37-27 to the
Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
McCoy had said in a postgame news conference he hoped to be back next year. He
wont get that chance.
McCoy was 27-37 in four seasons. The
Chargers earned a wild-card berth in his first
season, 2013, and beat Cincinnati in a road
game before losing to Denver in the divisional round. The Chargers were 8-4 going
into December 2014 before going 1-3 to
miss the playoffs.
They followed that by going 4-12 last year
and 5-11 this year.
Our teams disappointing performance
has not matched this teams potential and
has fallen short of the demanding standards
that we seek to impose throughout our organization, John Spanos, the Chargers president of football operations, said in a statement. Spanos is the son of team chairman
Dean Spanos and the grandson of owner Alex
Spanos.

DENVER Broncos coach Gary

Kubiak informed his players after
their victory over Oakland on
Sunday that hes stepping away
from the game and the team he
loves. He said the grind of coaching was taking too big of a toll on
his health.
In all honesty, Ive struggled
this year , said Kubiak, who has
fought fatigue ever since suffering
a complex migraine back in
October.
Kubiak, 55, leaves with two
years left on his contract and a 2411 record in Denver. Including his
eight seasons with Houston, his
career head coaching record is 8777.
Im glad we sent him off with a
win, quarterback Trevor Siemian
said.
The Broncos 24-6 win over the
Raiders was a bittersweet capstone
to a disappointing season that
began with expectations of repeating as Super Bowl champs and a 40 record, and ended without a trip
to the playoffs and a 9-7 mark.

Thats kudos to Kube. He kept
us super fresh and it showed in

Its an irony not lost on his
players that Kubiak was so adroit
at keeping players bodies fresh
for game day but couldnt stay
healthy himself.

Can Clemsons D-line match Alabamas? Stars
Under Armour
By John Marshall

prep showcase

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. Alabamas defensive

line often gets credited with being the best
in college football. The way the Crimson
Tides big guys have overpowered opponents the past few years, it would be tough
to argue against.
After manhandling Ohio State in the
Fiesta Bowl, it seems Clemson may have a
defensive front just as good as the Crimson
Tides. The two face off in a rematch of last
seasons national title game on Jan. 9 in
Tampa, Florida.
Just good discipline; disciplined football, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent
Venables said. Were not tricking anybody.
Nor do they need to.
The second-ranked Tigers are young, but
theyre big, quick and aggressive.
The Buckeyes certainly had no answer for
them.
Clemsons defense seemed to spend as
much time in Ohio States backfield as the
Buckeyes did Saturday night in the desert,
leading to a 31-0 Fiesta Bowl annihilation .
It was the first shutout of the Buckeyes
since 1993 and the first of Ohio State coach
Urban Meyers career.
No one saw this coming, not even the
Tigers.
We didnt really have any illusions they
wouldnt score a point, Clemson coach
Dabo Swinney said. We just wanted to have
one more than them.
Ohio State entered the semifinal 12th in
rushing offense with 245.2 yards per game
during the regular season. The Buckeyes
were dominated so badly up front they
attempted just 23 rushes, gaining 88 yards.
Thats 3.8 yards per carry, nearly two full
yards less than Ohio States average during
the regular season.

rusher, was a non-factor, finishing with 24

That was not our game plan at all,
Meyer said of abandoning the running
game. I think we kind of got taken out of
the game plan a little bit. But no, that was
our plan, to be balanced. We didnt follow
it.
The Tigers (13-1) had a lot to do with it,
holding Ohio State to 215 total yards, less
than half of its season average (459.5).
Clemson finished with 11 tackles for
loss, including two sacks for 17 yards.
Freshman defensive Clelin Ferrell had three
tackles for loss and senior defensive tackle
Carlos Watkins had both sacks.
We really just put our trust in the D-line,
Clemson safety Jadar Johnson said. Weve
got excellent athletes in the D-line and we
just trusted them to be able to limit those
guys in the backfield. We trusted them and
they did their thing.
Heading into the season, no one was really sure what to expect from Clemsons

defense.
The Tigers lost eight starters from last
years national runner-up team, including
five who left early for the NFL draft. Two of
those players, defensive ends Shaw Lawson
and Kevin Dodd, were selected in the first
two rounds of the NFL draft.
The younger Tigers made it a seamless
transition.
Watson was a second-team All-American
and massive freshman Dexter Lawrence
6-foot-5, 340 pounds played like one

Clemson finished the regular season
ninth in total defense, 12th in scoring

The Tigers were even more dominating
against Ohio State.
Just indescribable, Clemson coach

Thomas, an uncommitted prospect from
Illinois, had touchdown receptions of 44 and
79 yards. His 148 receiving yards set a game
record and he is the first to have two receiving
touchdowns in the 10-year history of the game.
His 79-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Avery Davis, a Notre Dame commit
from Texas, capped off a run of 17 straight
points that made it 24-10 in the third quarter.
Team Highlight pulled to 24-21 on a 5-yard
touchdown run by Toneil Carter, a Texas commit from Houston, with 9:46 remaining in
the fourth quarter.
However, Team Armour stopped Team
Highlight on downs on their final two drives.
Running back Khalan Laborn, a Florida
State commit out of Virginia Beach, Virginia,
rushed for 74 yards on eight carries with a 21yard touchdown run in the first quarter to take
home MVP honors for Team Highlight.
Team Armour linebacker Dylan Moses, an
Alabama commit from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, set a game record for unassisted
tackles with 10. Moses was one of nine players in the game committed to the Crimson
Tide.
Safety Xavier McKinney of Roswell,
Georgia, announced his verbal commitment
to Alabama during the game.
Team Armour quarterback Myles Brennan,
an LSU commit from Bay Saint Louis,
Mississippi, finished 7 of 13 for 111 yards
and a touchdown.
Team Highlight quarterback Kellen Mond, a
Texas A&M commit from San Antonio, led all
rushers with 84 yards on 14 carries. He also
threw for 90 yards.
Team Armour defensive lineman KLavon
Chaisson, an uncommitted prospect from
Houston, had three sacks and five tackles for
loss.
Other in-game commitments included linebacker Nathan Proctor Jr., from Indian Head,
Maryland, to Virginia Tech; linebacker Breon

Vandalized Hollywood sign

briefly reads HOLLYWeeD
By Christopher Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES No, Los Angeles

residents, it wasnt your hangovers
playing tricks on you. The Hollywood
sign really did read HOLLYWeeD for a
few hours on New Years Day.
Police were investigating Sunday
after a prankster used giant tarps to turn
two of the iconic signs white Os into
Es sometime overnight.
The vandal, dressed in all black, was

GUNS
Continued from page 1
Monday, Jan. 1. Buyers must undergo a
background check before purchasing
ammunition and will be barred from
buying new weapons that have a
device known as a bullet button,
allowing a shooter to quickly dislodge
a magazine with the tip of a bullet.
Nick Wilcox, who heads the
California Brady Campaign advocating in favor of tighter gun laws, said
he believes the most recent round of
legislation will help continue the
work of those committed to reducing
the threat of gun violence.
He noted the state has some of the
nations most stringent firearm laws
and pointed to a recent dip in lethal
gun crime as evidence of the effectiveness of the regulations his organization lobbied to pass.
But Wilcox claimed the intent of the
new laws is misunderstood by those in
the firearms industry.
We are not trying to take guns away
from people. We are trying to keep
guns out of inappropriate hands, or
people who are known to be dangerous, he said.
To the extent sales have increased
concurrent with the push for new
reforms, Wilcox said he believed the
race to collect soon-to-be regulated

recorded by security cameras and could

face a misdemeanor trespassing charge,
said Sgt. Robert Payan.
The person scaled a protective fence
surrounding the sign above Griffith
Park and then clambered up each giant
letter to drape the coverings, Payan
said.
The prank may be a nod to California
voters approval in November of
Proposition 64, which legalized the
recreational use of marijuana, beginning in 2018.
Hikers and tourists in the hills spent

the morning snapping photos of themselves in front of the altered sign before
park rangers began removing the tarps.
Its kind of cool being here at the
moment, Bruce Quinn told KABC-TV.
I thought we came to see the
Hollywood sign, not the Hollyweed
sign. But hey its OK with me!
While attention-grabbing, the prank
was not exactly original. Forty-one
years ago to the day Jan. 1, 1976
a college student similarly altered the
sign, using curtains to make it read
HOLLYWEED.

firearms is fueled by an unjustified fear.

Gun sales are at record highs and I
think that is a temporary phenomenon
related to the legislation, he said.
People get real paranoid when guns
laws are passed and they behave in
irrational ways.
The bump in gun interest is not solely tied to purchases though, said
Jackson, who offers training and
firearm safety classes from his shop
near the Bayfront. There has also been
a wave of novices and women who
wish to build their self-defense skills,
he said.
He partially attributed the uptick to
concerns regarding new gun laws, but
especially to a heightened distrust of a
government seen by some as an enemy
of the weapons industry.
I blame the last 35 years of corrupt
government, said Jackson, a 59-yearold Burlingame resident. The people
have had it. Even the people that were
liberal, their eyes are getting opened.
And considering the onslaught of
fresh restrictions beginning in the
new year, he expressed little optimism
looking ahead for those wishing to
continue exercising their right to the
Second Amendment.
The liberal politicians are completely corrupt and they are after anyone that has anything to do with
guns, Jackson said.
Parkin too said he felt targeted by
legislators and gun-control advocates
who he believes are too ignorant to

craft reasonable regulations.

You need to have politicians stop
using the Second Amendment as a platform for public safety to gain votes,
Parkin said. Politicians are crooked,
lying, dweebs. They will say or do
anything to get people to support
them.
He added with the millions of guns
that have already been sold across the
state, much less the nation, he considers many of the attempts by control
advocates futile.
There are so many guns here, you
cannot legislate what the general population is going to do when the cat is
already out of the bag, he said.
Parkin said he believes the effort of
legislators and reformers should be
shifted to passing laws allowing punishment commiserate with the crimes
potentially committed with guns,
rather than pushing harder on the
firearms industry.
But Wilcox said such concerns are all
too familiar.
The gun industry and gun lobby has
always complained about overreach,
he said. If we did nothing, they would
complain about overreach.
Looking back on the work to pass
gun reforms and ahead to new laws taking place, Wilcox said he thinks the
mission for enhancing public safety
has been successful.
I believe we have saved lives, said
Wilcox.

New Years
resolutions
S

o, youre going to drop 20 pounds by Valentines

Day, learn conversational Italian and take up ballroom dancing. Really, thats your plan for the
new year?
Me? Im thinking this is the year for New Years resolutions we can actually keep. Heres a few I suggest, all on
the theme of helping the animals (obviously).
Volunteer. The Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCA quite
literally relies on the help of
volunteers to help us save
lives. For us, its 119 staff +
1,400 volunteers = 6,500 lives
saved. Walking dogs, petting
cats, feeding baby birds and
squirrels, brightening the lives
of patients with the love of an
animal, helping our educators
bring the humane message to
Ken WHITE
classrooms, selling gently
used tchotkes in our Pick Of The Litter resale shop,
assisting with events to raise funds and consciousness:
you name it and volunteers are essential. You can go onto
our website (www.PHS-SPCA.org) to get started.
Adopt. When someone like me asks you how many
animals do you have? whatever your answer you can
expect oh, one more is such a better number. Seriously,
while its obviously important to know your limits (as
well as that of those already at home), if you do have
room in your home (and heart and budget) I do hope
youll consider visiting our Center For Compassion
(1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame). I always have a few
hundred fabulous best friends Id like to introduce to you!
Donate. Most of PHS/SPCAs support comes as small
gifts, and its the total of those many small donations
which combined allows us to do all that we do. If you
can, a financial contribution of any size is always
extremely welcome. (Either that website or snail-mail
address will work!)
And finally, love. Love the animals at home, love
those you see around you. The Beatles were wrong since
love is not all you need, but it certainly goes a very long
way.
Ken White is the president of the Peninsula Humane
Society & SPCA.

TREES
Continued from page 1
Across North America, millions of
Christmas trees are sold every year
with many of them chopped down and
used as dcor for just a few weeks. At
San Mateo Countys largest waste collection plant Rethink Waste, which
accounts for more than 400,000 residents between East Palo Alto and
Burlingame nearly 520 tons of trees
were processed last year, said
Executive Director Joe La Mariana.
With state laws aiming to divert 75
percent of Californias waste away
from landfills, composting and recycling is critical. Between the uptick in
cardboard Amazon boxes generated
from online shoppers, holiday party
food scraps, wrapping paper and
Christmas trees, La Mariana said
Rethink Waste sees an additional 10
percent to 15 percent increase in refuse
during the season.
When it comes to Christmas trees,
Rethink Waste aims to give them a
whole new life after theyve been put
out to die ever think your old tree
could benefit a bottle of wine or a childrens playground?
The highest-quality material is used
to create mulch or compost that can be
used in the agricultural industry, such
at vineyards in Napa and Sonoma
counties. Trees can also be chipped and
sold to local cities that may use them
in parks or to Caltrans for use to help
with soil erosion, La Mariana said.
Collection companies vary around
the county, but Recology of San Mateo
County will be picking up holiday
waste and trees taken to Rethink

comeback under Donald Trump.
Despite his voracious use of Twitter,
the president-elect appears to be leaning toward old tech to ensure the security of sensitive messages.
Its very important, if you have
something really important, write it
out and have it delivered by courier, the
old-fashioned way because Ill tell you
what, no computer is safe, Trump told
reporters Saturday in response to questions about Russias alleged hacking
of Democrats during the presidential
election. Trump, who doesnt email or
surf the internet, said days earlier that
computers have complicated lives
very greatly.
Trumps skepticism of some technology marks a sharp contrast from

If you were to put your tree in the
trash, the tree will go into the landfill
with other garbage and create greenhouse gases, Recologys Waste Zero
Manager Tammy Del Bene said in an
email. By choosing to recycle, the tree
will become nutrient rich compost in
the future.

How to keep the holidays green

To help inform residents where and
when they can make sure their trees are
going to a better place, San Mateo
Countys Recycle Works program puts
out a holiday recycling guide.
To start, all stands, lights, tinsel,
ornaments or any decorations must be
removed; trees placed in bags also
wont be recycled. Most of the refuse
collectors throughout the county will
have special trucks running through
January that will pick up trees. In
many areas, they can be simply left out
where one would place their trash bins,
although its preferable for residents
to put them out at the same time their
compost is collected. Depending on
where one lives, trash collectors may
require the trees are cut into pieces
ranging from 8 feet to 4 feet, according
to the holiday guide.
For those who arent quite ready to
part with their Christmas trees, disposing of them after January requires
they be cut up and placed inside the
compost bin.
Unfortunately,
composting is
uncommon for many multi-family
apartments, townhomes or condominiums. But building managers are
encouraged to call and schedule a group
pickup for tenants to avoid leftover
trees scattered around their buildings.
Trees arent the only holiday-related

daily security briefings on an iPad. He

at an annual science fair, created the
job of chief technology officer in the

key to making the sprawling federal
government more efficient and responsive to the public.
A much less frequent Twitter user
than Trump, Obama let loose Sunday
with a volley of tweets highlighting
some of his accomplishments as president: boosting clean energy, bringing troops home, delivering the
longest streak of job growth in our
history, passing a law to make
health care affordable, reducing
dependence on foreign oil and working to reaffirm that all are created
equal.
But technology has also been a burden for Obama. Online sign-ups for his
health care law were crippled by massive technical issues, resulting in one

festive for gift givers, can quickly pile
up. Most paper, other than the metallic

Tong.
But the best solution is to reuse larger pieces of wrapping paper, Tong
said.
Reusing materials can be a bonus

38, 000 miles of ribbon is thrown
away each year enough to tie a
bow around the Earth, according to
CalRecycle.
With many opting to shop online,
La Mariana said the cardboard boxes
are an increasingly important item to
recycle.
Looking toward next year, theres a
variety of more sustainable solutions
to indulging in the holiday spirit.
Renting a live planted Christmas tree
is a great option; as is ditching the
metallic tinsel and decorating trees
with biodegradable strands of popcorn
or macaroni, Tong said.
An estimated 2.6 billion holiday
cards are sold each year in the United
States, making electronic greeting
cards a great option, according to
CalRecycle.
So as the holidays end and revelers
wind down, its a great time to remember sustainable options are year-round.
Our society has made a statement
that we want to reuse and divert as
much material from landfills as possible, La Mariana said. Were working
very hard to capture the material and
give it another useful life. I think
thats a really cool thing.

Agency contractor Edward Snowden

Trump, 70, rarely uses a computer
and sifts through stacks of newspapers, magazines and printed articles to
read the news. He panned candidates
reliance on data and technology in
presidential campaigns, preferring to
make decisions in part based on the
reaction from audiences at his rallies.
While Trumps tweetstorms are already
legendary, he utters some of his messages out loud and leaves the actual
typing to aides.
Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer said he expects Trump
to continue using Twitter and other
social media sites as president, casting
it as an effective way to communicate
with Americans.

and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.

claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin

Gunman in New Year slayings at Istanbul club still at large

By Zeynep Biliginsoy
and Suzan Frazer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL Turkish police struggled

Sunday to track down a gunman who attacked
New Years Eve revelers at a popular Istanbul
nightclub, killing at least 39 people, most
of them foreigners. Close to 70 more were
wounded.
The attacker, armed with a long-barreled
weapon, killed a policeman and a civilian
outside the Reina club around 1:15 a.m.
before entering and firing at people partying
inside, Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin said.
Unfortunately, (he) rained bullets in a
very cruel and merciless way on innocent
people who were there to celebrate New
Years an d h av e fun , Sah i n t o l d
reporters.
Nearly two-thirds of the people killed were
foreigners, many from the Middle East,
Turkeys state-run Anadolu Agency said. It
said the bodies of 25 foreign nationals killed
in the attack would be delivered to their families Monday.
Countries from India to Belgium reported
their citizens among the casualties.
An estimated 600 people were celebrating inside the club, which is often frequented by famous locals, including singers,

actors and sports stars. Several shocked

revelers were seen fleeing the scene after
the shooting and the music fell silent.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for what authorities immediately
called a terrorist attack. Turkish officials did
not comment on the possible identity or
motives of the gunman.
The mass shooting followed more than 30
violent acts over the past year in Turkey,
which is a member of the NATO alliance and
a partner in the U.S.-led coalition fighting
against the Islamic State group in Syria and
Iraq. The country endured multiple bombings
in 2016, including three in Istanbul alone
that authorities blamed on IS, a failed coup
attempt in July and renewed conflict with
Kurdish rebels in the southeast.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vehemently condemned the terror attack in
Istanbuls Ortakoy neighborhood in the first
hours of 2017 and offered condolences for
those who lost their lives, including the
foreign guests.
Among the dead were an 18-year-old Israeli
woman, three Indians, three Lebanese, a
woman with dual French-Tunisian citizenship and her Tunisian husband, three
Jordanians, a Belgian national and a Kuwaiti
citizen, according to those countries foreign
ministries and a diplomat.

Hundreds flee fighting near Syrias capital despite truce

By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Hundreds of civilians fled a

mountainous region outside the Syrian capital on Sunday, where government forces
were battling several insurgent groups,
including an al-Qaida-linked outfit excluded
from a recent nationwide cease-fire.
The Syrian military said some 1,300 people fled the Barada Valley region since
Saturday. The region has been the target of

days of airstrikes and shelling despite the

truce, which was brokered by Russia and
Turkey and appears to be holding in other
parts of the country, despite some reports of
fighting.
The truce went into effect early Friday, and
the government and the opposition are
expected to meet for talks in Kazakhstan
later this month. Russia, a key military ally
of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and
Turkey, a leading sponsor of the rebels, are
acting as guarantors of the agreement,

which excludes the al-Qaida-linked Fatah alSham Front and the Islamic State group.
On Saturday, The U.N. Security Council
unanimously adopted a resolution supporting efforts by Russia and Turkey to end the
nearly six-year conflict in Syria and jumpstart peace negotiations.
The military said those fleeing Barada
Valley were relocated to safer areas and their
names were registered by the Syrian Arab
Red Crescent. Rami Abdurrahman, who
heads the oppositions Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said
there were buses in the region ready to evacuate civilians but could not confirm how
many people had left.
He said the Barada Valley region is not
part of the cease-fire because of the presence
of Fatah al-Sham Front, formerly known as
the Nusra Front.
The Barada Valley Media Center said
Lebanese Hezbollah militants were firing
on villages and towns in the water-rich
region as Russian and government aircraft
carried out raids for the 10th consecutive
day Saturday. The Lebanese militant group
has sent thousands of fighters to Syria to
bolster Assads forces.
The Barada Valley is the primary source of

water for the capital and its surrounding

region. The government assault has coincided with a severe water shortage in
Damascus since Dec. 22. Images from the
valleys Media Center indicate its Ain alFijeh spring and water processing facility
have been destroyed in airstrikes. The government says rebels spoiled the water
source with diesel fuel, forcing it to cut supplies to the capital.
The Observatory and the Aleppo Media
Center, an activist collective, meanwhile
reported government airstrikes on rebelheld villages near the northern city of
Aleppo, which was recently returned to full
government control.
State news agency SANA said two suicide
attackers blew themselves up in the coastal
city of Tartus, killing two security officers
who had stopped them shortly after midnight, as residents were celebrating New
Years Day.
A news website close to Irans
Revolutionary Guard meanwhile said Gen.
Gholam Ali Gholizadeh, a veteran of the
Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, was killed fighting in Syria. It did not provide further
details. Iran is also closely allied with
Assad.
