Sea level rise agency takes shape

New flood district to include environmental priorities such as sea level rise in scope

A countywide effort to address

South City cannabis distribution industry grows
Officials approve commercial distribution center east of Highway 101
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco’s commercial
cannabis industry is continuing to grow
with officials approving another business
permit for a company seeking to deliver
marijuana to other businesses.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission voted 3-1-2 — with one of the
six current commissioners voting no and
one abstaining and another absent — in
favor of allowing Green Light Distribution
to open up shop.
The decision makes Green Light the sec-
ond commercial cannabis company allowed
in South San Francisco, as officials agreed
to embrace segments of the recreational
marijuana market in the wake of state legal-
ization.
In advance of the approval vote, most
commissioners asked questions regarding
the safety protocol to assure the company
is not a threat to public health. And while a
majority of the officials seemed comfort-
able that the necessary safeguards were in
place, Commissioner Michele Evans said
she did not support the business.
“I personally do not like the idea of a dis-
tribution center at all, and that’s my per-
sonal opinion and I consider it a slippery
slope that any city, not just South City,
enters into,” she said, according to video of
the meeting.

Starting Feb. 11, BART riders will see
changes in the transit agency’s weekday and

it will begin service at 5 a.m. weekdays, an

Ultimately, her opinion was outweighed
by her fellow commissioners, who were sat-
isfied after asking detailed questions about
the amount of money to be stored at the
facility, the process for deliveries and other
business operations.
Applicant John Poletti shared his busi-
ness plan to deliver cannabis to other dis-
tribution facilities or brick-and-mortar
stores across the Bay Area. No retail deals
will be allowed at the South San Francisco
location, and customers would be discour-
aged from visiting the site, he said.
The business will operate from an indus-
trial location east of Highway 101 in the
area zoned to allow commercial cannabis
companies by the South San Francisco City
Council last year. The area is at least 600
feet from schools, child care centers or
other potentially sensitive locations.
Officials endorsed the marijuana industry
in advance of voters agreeing to tax the rev-
enue generated by the businesses.
According to Measure LL, companies will
be mandated to pay the new tax rate of
between 1 percent and 5 percent of gross tax
receipts.
Green Light also agreed to pay roughly
$5,000 annually into a fund sponsoring
drug and alcohol awareness campaigns at
local schools.
The fee is similar to one agreed to by The
Loaded Bowl, which last year became the
first commercial cannabis company to be
accepted in South San Francisco.

Snow seen blanketing the mountains near Lake Tahoe.
More snow, winds prompt warnings in mountains
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A forecast of more intense snow-
fall and powerful winds in the Sierra Nevada has prompt-
ed authorities to issue blizzard and avalanche warnings
on Sunday and say that conditions in the mountains could
become “life-threatening. ”
A winter storm sweeping across California and Nevada
has dumped as much as 8 feet of snow over the past two
days. Much more is expected in the next two days as addi-
tional cold weather systems will bring widespread snow
and showers.
The National Weather Service said 8 feetfell at the June
Mountain Ski resort north of Mammoth Lakes and up to
3 feet were reported in the resorts around Lake Tahoe
since Friday.
Forecasters said a blizzard from Sunday night to
Monday night could bring another 5 feet around Lake
Tahoe and another 8 feet to the highest elevations, and
light snow down to the foothills.
The forecast called for winds gusting as high as 50 mph
Dead body found in submerged car
A motorist has been found dead in a submerged vehicle in
a creek in unincorporated San Mateo County, according to
the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP received a report shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday of
a submerged vehicle down an embankment in the areas of
Alpine and Heritage roads. Emergency crews have recovered
a body from the vehicle.
No further information was immediately available.

at the lake level, and up to 100 mph over mountain
ridges.
“Do not attempt to travel!” the warning said. “Road
crews and first responders may not be able to rescue you.
Stay indoors until the snow and wind subside. Even a
short walk could be deadly if you become disoriented. ”
The avalanche warning was issued for the backcountry
areas on the Nevada side of the range as well as in the
greater Lake Tahoe area.
“There’s been so much snow at once, it doesn’t have a
chance to pack down, leading to very unstable ground, ”
said Cassie Leahy, a meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Reno.
The Sierra is already loaded with snow from a series of
storms in January.
The storms battered California on Saturday, shutting
key highways after water and mud rushed into lanes from
bare hillsides scarred by wildfires. In Santa Barbara coun-
ty, residents living near the fire scars were ordered to
evacuate, and by Sunday they were allowed to return home
as the rain and threats of mudslides diminished.

Zuckerberg hospital to
overhaul billing system
BAY CITY NEWS
A billing policy that has saddled insured patients with huge
debt after being treated for emergency and trauma services at
Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital will be changed,
city leaders said.
Mayor London Breed and Supervisor
Aaron Peskin on Friday called for a tempo-
rary halt to “balance billing” - surprise
bills sent to a patient when their private
insurer doesn’t cover the full cost of treat-
ment.
Most of the hospital’s patients are unin-
sured, but the 6 percent with commercial
insurance who seek emergency care at SF
General are affected by the hospital’s pol-
Mark icy against accepting private insurance.
Zuckerberg “Although ‘balance billing’ affects a
very small number of ZSFG patients, the stress and hardship
they experience when it happens is very real,” Mayor Breed
said.
The city’s Department of Public Health, which operates the
hospital, will work with hospital officials to address the
dilemma of those patients stuck in the middle of disputes
between the hospital and their insurance provider, Breed said.
The hospital will pursue agreements with private insurance
companies and study regional hospital charges, comparing
trauma centers, academic medical centers, San Francisco and
Bay Area hospitals, according to the city’s announcement
Friday.
In addition to halting balance billing for 90 days, immedi-
ate changes will include making financial assistance easier to
get and assess a patient’s eligibility for assistance rather than
waiting for them to apply, according to the city’s announce-
ment.
Charity care and sliding scale policies will be adjusted to
expand the number of people who are eligible.
“Patients should not be caught in the middle of disputes
between hospitals and insurance companies,” said Dr. Susan
Ehrlich, the hospital’s chief executive officer.

Blackface photo stirs calls for Virginia governor to resign
By Alan Suderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Gov. Ralph Northam
clung to office Sunday amid nearly unani-
mous calls from his own party to resign
over a racist photo in his 1984 medical
school yearbook, going silent after a
bizarre 24 hours in which he first admitted
he was in the picture, then denied it.
The Democrat’s stunning about-face — at
a weekend news conference where he also
acknowledged putting on blackface for a
dance contest decades ago and appeared to
briefly entertain the notion of doing the
Michael Jackson moonwalk for reporters —
only seemed to make things worse.
The chairwoman of the Congressional
Black Caucus declared that Northam “still
does not understand the seriousness of his
actions.” The photo shows someone in
blackface and another person in a Ku Klux
Klan hood and robe.
“I think he’s been completely dishonest
and disingenuous,” Rep. Karen Bass, D-
California, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“He knew this picture was there, and he
could’ve come clean and talked to African-
Americans that he’s close to decades ago.”

as did many declared and potential
Democratic presidential candidates.
Virginia governors can be removed for

meanor” under the state constitution, but
top Democrats said they don’t believe it

Northam apologized on Friday for appear-
ing in the photograph on his yearbook
page. He did not say which costume he was
wearing, but said he was “deeply sorry for
the decision I made to appear as I did in this
photo.” On Saturday, though, the governor
reversed course and said the picture “is defi-
nitely not me.”
While talking with reporters, Northam
admitted he once used shoe polish to put on
blackface as part of a Michael Jackson cos-
tume for a 1984 dance contest in Texas,
when he was in the Army. Northam said he
regrets that he didn’t understand “the harm-
ful legacy of an action like that.”
Asked by a reporter if he could still do
Jackson’s famous moonwalk, Northam
looked at the floor as if thinking about
demonstrating it. His wife put a stop to it,
telling him, “Inappropriate circum-
stances.”
His shifting explanations did little or
nothing to sway prominent Democrats who
had swiftly disowned him.
Both of Virginia’s U.S. senators, Mark
Warner and Tim Kaine, joined the dean of
Virginia’s congressional delegation, Rep.
for American Progress.
“It’s sort of this great improvisation
directed by the president of the United States,
that doesn’t really follow any of the notes or
sheets of music,” Katulis said. “Like he’s
making things up as he goes along.”
Setting the tone in the Senate, the first bill
of the new year reaffirms sanctions on Syrian
officials involved in war crimes and soon
will include an amendment taking the unusu-
al step of signaling opposition to Trump’s
plan to withdraw troops from Syria and

Dem contenders planning
to run on soaking the rich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The last Democrat to
win a presidential election, Barack Obama,
ran in 2012 on a platform of raising taxes
for top earners to nearly 40 percent. Now a
new crop of Democratic presidential hope-
fuls is signaling that they want to go even
further.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is
floating a 2 percent tax on all assets of peo-
ple with a net worth of more than $50 mil-
lion — a moon-shot plan that could face
legal challenges for hitting investments,
homes and cars, not just income. Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders is pitching a steeply
higher inheritance tax on large estates.
Others targeting higher income earners
include California Sen. Kamala Harris, who
has proposed rolling back the recent GOP
tax cuts for wealthier families to pay for tax
rebates for middle- and lower-income earn-
ers.
The eruption of high-end tax proposals is
a shift for Democrats, who have traditional-
ly not centered their presidential bids
around tax hikes — particularly at this early
stage of a campaign. It underscores the
party’s march to the left and candidates’
desire to tap into the Wall Street-rattling
energy of liberal voters.
“If you’re looking for a bumper sticker,
‘tax rich people’ is a pretty good bumper
sticker,” said Howard Glickman of the cen-
trist Tax Policy Center.
Beyond its messaging power, taxing the
wealthy also gives Democratic contenders a
way to propose paying for their sweeping
progressive agendas.
Sanders put it simply last week: “We need
additional revenue if we’re going to provide
health care for all, rebuild our infrastructure,
make public colleges and universities
tuition-free.”
The rush to tax the rich has prompted crit-
icism from others eyeing the White House
— namely billionaires Michael
Bloomberg, a former Republican who is
considering running as a Democrat, and for-
mer Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is
mulling an independent run for president.
Schultz says he was driven from the
Democratic Party by Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, the rising star who’s issued
her own call for a 70 percent income tax rate
on people making more than $10 million.
Democratic strategists worry Schultz could
peel off a small but vital slice of affluent
voters and help President Donald Trump get
re-elected in a three-way race.
But to progressive Democratic con-
NATION
tenders, the criticism
from billionaires like
Schultz proves their
point.
“The billionaires are
writing the rules around
here. And guess what: all
those rules favor the bil-
lionaires,” Warren said
Elizabeth in an interview.
Republicans, mean-
Warren while, are eager to cast
the Democratic tax proposals as damaging
to an economy that has steadily grown
since Trump took office.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a senior GOP
member of the tax-writing Finance
Committee, described Warren and Sanders’
tax plans as playing off “the politics of per-
sonal envy.” He predicted economic blow-
back from reversing the current tax laws
muscled through by Republicans in 2017.
The $2 trillion tax bill Trump signed into
law was a boon for many wealthy
Americans, with low-and middle-income
Americans receiving smaller cuts.
While many Democrats have previously
backed higher taxes for the wealthiest
Americans, they’ve rarely made the issue
such an early focal point of their cam-
paigns. Obama shied away from tax increas-
es during his first run for office, as did
almost every Democratic nominee since
Walter Mondale in 1984 pledged to raise
voters’ taxes and lost to President Reagan in
an historic landslide.
But polls now show that voters are happy
to see higher-end taxes, to a point. In April
2018, Gallup found that about 6 in 10
Americans thought the wealthy didn’t pay
their fair share of taxes. A Fox News poll
last week found 7 in 10 Americans support-
ed raising taxes on people making more
than 10 million dollars a year and 65 per-
cent on those making more than $1 mil-
lion. But support plunges when family
income drops, with only 44 percent back-
ing higher taxes on those making more
than $250,000.
“What’s happened sometimes in these
debates is the ‘on the wealthy’ gets left out
in some people’s minds,” said Democratic
pollster Mark Mellman. “The question is to
what extent you can control the interpreta-
tion” of tax increases.
Democrats seem to have learned that les-
son, at least with the 70-percent rate from
Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and a
Warren proposal that would only hit an esti-
mated 75,000 households in the United
States — the upper echelon of U.S. wealth.

Venezuelan opposition targeted by internet censors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — Opposition leader Juan
Guaido’s calls for Venezuelans to abandon Nicolas
Maduro’s government are booming across the world out-
side, but the self-declared interim president is having a
harder time delivering his message at home.
Watchdog groups in Venezuela and abroad say Guaido’s
efforts to reach citizens via the internet have been hin-
dered by the dominant provider — state-run CANTV — in a
country where critical newspapers and broadcast media
already have been muzzled.
Since Jan. 23, when Guaido proclaimed himself interim
president and when protests against Maduro’s rule broke
out, CANTV has blocked access to social media sites at
least four times, according to the monitoring groups.
Those disruptions have coincided with politically sig-
nificant events, including a rally attended by thousands of
people last week and a Jan. 27 night speech that Guaido
livestreamed on Periscope to call for a new round of
protests and urge members of the military to defect.
CANTV accounts for about 70 percent of Venezuela’s
fixed internet connections and 50 percent of mobile, and
Netblocks, a non-government group based in Europe that
monitors internet censorship, found that the government
provider blocked Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and
YouTube during 12 of the 13 minutes that Guaido’s speech
lasted, so the stream could only be seen without interrup-
tions by people using privately run internet providers.
The organization runs tests from its headquarters with
software that captures evidence of connection failures. It
also has designed a scanner app that volunteers in affected
countries can use to run tests from their own phones or
computers.
“We built tools that could diagnose the problems and dif-
ferentiate between overload disruptions and actual block-
ing,” said Netblocks director Alp Toker.
VESinFiltro, a Venezuelan internet monitoring group
that uses technology developed by the Open Observatory
for Network Interference, published similar findings on
the Guaido speech.
Rights groups say the targeted disruptions show that

methods to silence critics are becoming
increasingly sophisticated in
Venezuela, where internet providers
have been hindering access to news
sites and illegal currency exchange sites
since 2014.
VESinFiltro director Andres Azpurua
said that while internet providers previ-
ously restricted access to websites
Nicolas Maduro through a technique known as DNS
blocking, methods have evolved to
allow just-in-time disruptions during different stages of a
computer’s connection to websites, making it harder for
site administrators to evade.
He also said other civil liberties advocates have been
urging Venezuelans to try to avoid blockages by using vir-
tual private network software that encrypt data and often
hide the origin of a connection, and he said use of VPNs
has increased over time.
A study by Venezuela’s Press and Society Institute found
that 53 websites were partially blocked by internet
providers in Venezuela last year, including an investiga-
tive news site and the website for one of the country’s last
remaining opposition newspapers. Analysts say that this
year, Guaido’s Wikipedia page and social media sites have
suffered blocks.
“The previous modus operandi was to place long-term
blocks on certain web addresses,” Azpurua says. “But the
most recent forms of blocking are more tactical. You can
tell that someone is investing in the technology to do
this.” While some analysts have speculated the know-how
could come from Russia, Toker points out that technology
developed by Western countries to block sites run by ter-
rorist groups can also be reconfigured to block other sites.
Social media include some of the few platforms where
Guaido can still be seen by Venezuelans. Local television
and radio stations, fearful of government sanctions, have
generally refrained from airing opposition rallies for
years and avoid interviews with Guaido. A nationally
broadcast radio program hosted by journalist Cesar Miguel
Rondon was cancelled after it covered last week’s turmoil
and discussed Guaido’s claim to Venezuela’s presidency.

Pope in UAE for historic trip
after call for relief in Yemen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Pope Francis land-
ed Sunday in Abu Dhabi on the first-ever papal trip to the
Arabian Peninsula, where he is seeking to turn a page in
Christian-Muslim relations while also ministering to a
unique, thriving Catholic community.
Francis earlier Sunday called for the
urgent observation of a limited cease-fire
in Yemen reached in December and for
food and medicine to get to its people,
who are suffering the world’s worst
humanitarian crisis.
He made the appeal at the Vatican
before boarding a plane to the United
Arab Emirates, which has been Saudi
Pope Francis Arabia’s main ally in its war in Yemen —
a way to avoid embarrassing his hosts
with a public call while in the region. Abu Dhabi’s powerful
crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
greeted the pontiff with smiles along with Cabinet minis-
ters and an honor guard when he landed around 9:50 p.m. in
the Emirati capital.
“The people are exhausted by the long conflict and many
children are hungry, but humanitarian aid isn’t accessible,”
Francis said in his noontime Sunday blessing. “The cries of
these children and their parents rise up” to God.
Francis traveled to Abu Dhabi to participate in a confer-
ence on interreligious dialogue sponsored the Emirates-
based Muslim Council of Elders, an initiative that seeks to
counter religious fanaticism by promoting a moderate brand
of Islam. It’s the brainchild of Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the
grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar, the revered 1,000-year-old
seat of Sunni Islam that trains clerics and scholars from
around the world.
In a video message to the Emirates on the eve of his trip,
Francis paid homage to his “friend and dear brother” el-
Tayeb and praised his courage in calling the meeting to
assert that “God unites and doesn’t divide.”
“I am pleased with this meeting offered by the Lord to
write, on your dear land, a new page in the history of rela-
tions among religions and confirm that we are brothers
despite our differences,” Francis said.
In a statement Saturday, Al-Azhar described the upcoming
meeting as “historic” and praised the “deeply fraternal rela-
tionship” between its imam and the pope, which it said
even includes birthday greetings. El-Tayeb also met Francis
at the airport.
Francis and el-Tayeb are to address the “Human Fraternity
Meeting” Monday that has drawn not only Christian and
Muslim representatives but hundreds of Jewish, Hindu,
Buddhist and other Christian faith leaders. It’s all part of the
Emirates’ “Year of Tolerance” and its effort to show its
openness to other faiths in a region otherwise known for
severe restrictions on religions outside of Islam.

The war in Afghanistan
Orange County Register
If the war in Afghanistan has been
anything, it has been a disappoint-
ment.
After 17 years of fighting that has
seen thousands of deaths and nearly a
trillion dollars in expenses, Americans
are sick and tired of the interminable
conflict.
Fortunately, serious and substantive
negotiations are finally closer than
ever to bringing the endless war to an
end. Though uncomfortable and not
without risk, the new framework to
cease hostilities deserves the support
of both major political parties and the
American people.
Many voters will be irritated by the
central feature of the agreement: for the
first time, the Taliban has been formal-
ly included in negotiations, and their
interests will be represented in any
final agreement. Doubtless, leaving the
Taliban in Afghanistan would be a
sharp rebuke of the democracy-spread-
ing agenda that dominated the past 20
years. On the other hand, the United
States has simply failed to move
enough Afghans away from the Taliban,
whether by force, money or cultural
influence. And the Taliban is now pre-
pared to honor a negotiated settlement
that strikes an uneasy but real compro-
mise.

Unfortunately, in Washington, some
members of both parties have a selfish
interest in portraying peace in
Afghanistan as irresponsible or isola-

Neither of these claims could be fur-

The new president of the
chamber, Saili Gosula, points out that this is a unique time
in San Mateo, when so many positions of power and influ-
ence are held by women — Mayor Papan; Police Chief
Susan Manheimer; Chamber President Cheryl Angeles; and
President of the San Mateo County Convention and
Visitors Bureau, LeClair. It was not too long ago when all
of these positions were held by men.
But are women really taking over San Mateo County?
There is only one female on the Board of Supervisors,
Carole Groom. While women dominate the Bay Area’s
congressional delegation, in the state Legislature we have
Kevin Mullin, state assemblyman and Jerry Hill, state
senator. On the city councils, it’s a mixed bag. With the
exception of Redwood City when Mayor Ian Bain is, to
quote the late San Mateo mayor John Lee, the thorn
among the roses. Bain works with six fellow coun-
cilmembers — all women. Here’s a sampling of other
cities: Menlo Park, three women, two men; San Carlos,
three men, two women; Belmont, three men, two women;
San Mateo, three men, two women; Burlingame, two men,
three women; Millbrae, three women, two men; South San
Francisco, three men, two women; Daly City three men,
two women; Pacifica, four women, one man; Half Moon
Bay three men and two women.

Major upset in the selection of Democrats who will repre-
sent the 22nd Assembly District in the upcoming state party
convention. More than 600 cast ballots to elect a 14-mem-
ber delegation of seven men and seven women. Supporters
of the Peninsula Progressive slate turned out in full force
and elected all nine members of their slate. Meanwhile, the
Hill-Mullin slate fielded 14 but only five prevailed
(because the progressives had only nine instead of 14?).
There were many new faces distributing literature. The
winning slate included Regina Islas, ACLU board member;
Victoria Sanchez De Alba, public relations and advocate;
Adonica Shaw-Porter, county commissioner and climate
change advocate; Uma Krishnan, advocate for equity,
Swing Left fellow; Dan Stegink, Sierra Club member; Ted
McKinnon, IT professional, DSA activist; You You Xue,
restaurateur and EV evangelist; Joe Little, attorney, hous-
ing advocate; and Mike Dunham, former teacher and
affordable housing advocate.
I was standing next to a young woman on line who was
holding the progressives’ slate. She told me she was plan-
ning to vote for their candidates even though she didn’t
know who they were.
The five members of the incumbent’s slate who man-
aged to survive were Rick Bonilla, San Mateo City
Council; Sam Hindi, Foster City Council; Chelsea
Bonini, former San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
board member; Harini Krishnan, a community activist;
and Groom, county supervisor who came in last of the
seven women winners. It seems the Democrats are having
a Tea Party moment, with a dedicated and enthusiastic
group who want out with the old and in with the new.
***
Meanwhile, some of the new members of Congress did-
n’t want the next House speaker to be Nancy Pelosi, a
powerhouse of institutional knowledge who can count
votes and was smart enough to know that Trump cared
more about a State of the Union address than the 800,000
hungry federal workers. Pelosi is a terrible public speak-
er, but one of the best speakers of the House. She knows
her limitations and her strengths. She is not driven by
ego but knows how to use her power. She and Rahm
Emanuel, former White House chief of staff under
President Obama, are responsible for the passage of the
Affordable Care Act. Emanuel made sure Democrats gained
control of Congress and Pelosi made sure all Democrats
voted for this pioneering health bill. An important histo-
ry lesson on how to get things done.

Set against a shaky global picture, US economy looks sturdy
By Christopher Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy, well
into its 10th year of growth, still has a
spring in its step. And it’s all the more vis-
ible when set against a tiring global pic-
ture.
A robust January jobs report on Friday
showed that America’s companies are, for
now, brushing off an array of economic per-
ils and still hiring at a brisk pace. The risks
that for months had induced hand-wringing
among economists about a possible loom-
ing recession appear to have had little effect
on employers.
Overseas growth is stumbling, led by
weakness in China, the world’s second-
largest economy. Europe is hamstrung by a
recession in Italy and the potential for an
unruly Brexit. A trade war between the U.S.
and China and higher U.S. mortgage rates,
partly engineered by the Federal Reserve,
remain threats.
No matter. Employers added 304,000 jobs
in January — the healthiest burst of hiring
in nearly a year. The unemployment rate
ticked up a notch to a still-low 4 percent.
But that was mostly because thousands of
furloughed federal workers were considered
temporarily unemployed because of the par-
tial government shutdown. That quirk
should reverse itself this month.
The solid jobs report and a separate sur-
vey that showed Friday that U.S. factory
growth picked up last month “stood in stark
contrast with evidence of slower economic
momentum in China and Europe,” said Lydia
Boussour, senior U.S. economist at Oxford
Economics.
So why is the United States doing so well?
And will the sluggish global economy
Work-life advice from Twitter curation director
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Joanna Geary started off
as a journalist in the U.K. and now lives in
New York, where she is currently Twitter’s
director of curation. In that role, she’s in
charge of showing users everything from
the day’s biggest news events to quirky
trends.
Geary, 38, spoke with The Associated
Press recently about managing people in
different time zones and managing a work-
life balance. Questions and answers have
been edited for brevity and clarity.
Q: What does your day-to-day work look
like?
A: I have direct reports in London, in
Toronto, in New York, in San Francisco, in
Tokyo and in Sydney (and indirect reports)
in Mexico and Brazil. When you’re working
away from people, it’s really important to
have structured time to see people. So that
means that my days get quite elongated.
Q: What have you learned about problem-
solving over the years?
A: The greater the diversity of skills,
background and personalities in the room,
the more likely it is you’ll come up with the
best solution and the best way to implement
it.
Q: How much do you pay attention to
your competition?
A: I keep pretty well informed about
what’s going on in our industry, but I try
not to focus too much on competitor watch-
ing. I’ve been in that position before and it
BUSINESS
eventually depress U.S. exports and eco-
nomic growth?
Trends that had looked alarming a month
or two ago now appear benign, perhaps
even supportive of growth. The stock mar-
ket, having plunged 16 percent late last
year, rose 8 percent in January, its best
monthly performance since 2015.
Americans who are invested in stocks typi-
cally cut spending when market indexes fall
steadily. That is now less likely to happen.
And suddenly the Fed under Chairman
Jerome Powell looks like an economic ally.
The central bank had raised its benchmark
short-term interest rate four times last year
— action that helped make mortgages and
other consumer and business loans costlier.
And in December, the Fed’s policymakers
said they envisioned raising rates twice
more this year.
But this week, the Fed held its benchmark
rate steady and sent its strongest signal to
date that it saw no need to raise rates in the
coming months — perhaps even for the rest
of the year. Its message ignited a rally on
Wall Street, which cheered the prospect of
continued modest borrowing rates for the
near future.
Other factors have helped give the U.S.
economy an edge over most of its major
rivals. Ethan Harris, global economist at
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said the
Trump administration’s tax cuts in late 2017
and a sharp increase in government spend-
ing last spring helped fuel growth.
“No other major economy in the world did
what we did,” Harris said. “The stimulus did
a very good job of covering up all the blem-
ishes of the economy, including the risks of
the trade war.”
Vigorous U.S. hiring in the past few
months partly represents a “lagged effect”
from faster growth over the spring and sum-
can be all too easy to
turn yourself into a
hostage to other peo-
ple’s strategies rather
than doubling down on
understanding your
unique value and trying
to enhance that.
Q: What advice would
Joanna Geary you give your younger
self about managing
people?
A: You are never, ever going to have all
the answers. Most answers are going to
come from your team, and your job is to try
and create an environment where they are
recognized and rewarded for putting them
forward. Also, however hard you try, you
will mess up. The most important thing is
how you deal with that.
Q: What advice do you have on how small
business owners and others can use Twitter?
A: Start small and follow people that you
know or are just one or two people removed
from people you know. Learn to connect
and have conversations with them. A lot of
value can often be obtained from expanding
your network even by just a little.
Q: What do you do for work-life balance?
A: I enjoy the time I spend with my hus-
band, family and close friends. Moving to
another country has made me value the time
I get to spend with them much, much more.
I’m also a massive podcast fan, so will
often use my commute home as time to lis-
ten and decompress.
mer, Harris said. Businesses that weren’t
able to quickly find and hire all the workers
they wanted then have kept adding jobs in
subsequent months.
The United States, with its huge domestic
market, isn’t as exposed to the vagaries of
the global economy as some of its counter-
parts overseas are. China, for example,
expanded last year at its slowest pace in
three decades. That slowdown has, in turn,
hit German manufacturers that sold much of
their industrial machinery to China, and
Italian automakers, whose auto exports to
China have plunged.
Though earnings at some large U. S.
multinationals, like the heavy equipment
maker Caterpillar, have been weak, corpo-
rate profits have so far been holding up
despite the global slowdown and trade rifts.
Of the companies in the S&P 500 that have
reported results for the fourth quarter of
2018, 71 percent delivered profit growth
that topped Wall Street forecasts, though
some have cut expectations for 2019.
And China’s downturn might not last.

Football fans gather to watch the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl ads entertain
By Mae Anderson
and Alexandra Olson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Super Bowl Sunday kicked
off. Many prepared to be entertained... by
the ads.
Each year’s slate of Super Bowl ads offers
a snapshot of the American psyche. Forty-
plus brands have shelled out millions for the
chance to win over live-TV viewers of Super
Bowl 53 with a combination of humor,
celebrities and heartfelt messages.
The ads ran from silly to the serious.
Avocados from Mexico featured a pet show
where the humans get judged, while The
Washington Post honored missing and slain
journalists in its Super Bowl debut.
They aimed to capture the attention of the
100 million viewers who tuned in on
Sunday. Many marketers released their ads
online in the days before the game but there
were still a few surprises from Google, Bud
Light and others.
“Advertisers are not being heavy-handed,”
said Kelly O’Keefe, a professor at Virginia
Commonwealth University’s Brandcenter.
“Everyone’s focused on entertaining us
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Manulife, said in a research note Friday that
Beijing’s efforts to stimulate growth appear
to be having some effect.
Still, many economists, including Harris,
think the U.S. economy will slow this year
after expanding roughly 3 percent in 2018,
the fastest pace in more than a decade.
Harris forecasts that annual growth in the
October-December quarter of 2018 will be
just 2 percent.
He and other economists expect the
impact of the tax cuts and extra government
spending to fade and for the rate hikes the
Fed has already imposed to hold back
growth somewhat. Inevitably, too, a pro-
longed global slump would weaken the U.S.
economy as well.
But exactly how the U.S. economy is far-
ing is harder than usual to judge because
many data reports, including the quarterly
figures on growth, are still delayed from the
35-day government shutdown. The govern-
ment hasn’t yet said when it will release its
first estimate of gross domestic product —
the broadest gauge of the economy — for
the final three months of 2018.
There are hints that the U.S. economy
won’t fare as well in the coming year as it
did in 2018. Diane Swonk, chief economist
at Grant Thornton, noted that U.S. home
and auto sales are declining, a sign that they
might have peaked. If so, America’s con-
sumers may not be able to propel the econ-
omy as much as they have.
And businesses have cut back on their
investments in buildings and large equip-
ment, which suggests a reluctance to perma-
nently expand their facilities.
“They’re willing to add more people —
that’s good,” Swonk said. But “right now
they’re not willing to pull the trigger and
bet on building more capacity. That under-
mines your foundation for future growth.”
VISUAL HUNT
tonight and that’s probably just right for
this year.”
O’Keefe said advertisers were mostly
avoiding social and cultural topics.
“They want to sit those things out,” he
said. “They’re a little too toxic for the world
right now.”
That didn’t mean that the ads were devoid
of cultural markers. Women’s empowerment
has among the themes that took center
stage.
Hulu kicked it off with a first quarter ad for
its next season of the feminist show “The
Handmaid’s Tale.” Next, Serena Williams
appeared as spokeswoman for Bumble,
which bills itself as a feminist dating app
where women make the first move. The ten-
nis icon urges women not to wait to be given
power, saying, “we already have it.”
Later in the evening, supermodel Karlie
Kloss played up her identity as a business-
woman in an ad for Wix.com. She wears an
understated green T-shirt to show how she
used the platform to create her professional
website.
Toyota highlighted the perseverance of
Antoinette “Toni” Harris, a female football
player at a California community college.

Patriots 13, Rams 3

Pats reign
Patriots win sixth Lombardi Trophy as
Rams don’t show up in Super Bowl LIII
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — That super shootout everyone
expected turned into a defensive standoff.
The New England Patriots showed they can
win that type of championship game, too.
So after Tom Brady led one classic drive to
win the Patriots their record-tying sixth
Super Bowl, he perfectly
summed up the 13-3 vic-
tory Sunday over the Los
Angeles Rams.
“Finally got a touch-
down and the defense
played the best game of
the year,” Brady said.
In a season in which all
sorts of offensive records
Tom Brady
were set, this Super Bowl
rewrote the defensive record book.
“How about our defense? How about our
defense?” he said. “They played unbeliev-
able.”
So well that their leader linebacker Dont’a
Hightower, joked they had extra incentive.
“I’m tired of hearing about Brady,” he said
with a laugh. “I won one today — we all got
one. It feels good for us to get it all. Shout
out to him getting his, but this is a team
game and it feels good to win.”
But the defense still needed vintage Brady
for one drive . He threw two perfect passes
to Rob Gronkowski to set up rookie Sony
Michel’s 2-yard score — the only touch-
down in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl
ever. That put New England up 10-3. A late
field goal clinched it 13-3.
No Super Bowl had gone into the fourth
quarter without a touchdown. This one did,
tied 3-3 — even though these teams had
combined to average over 60 points a game.
When the Patriots needed a score, Brady,
the oldest winning quarterback in a Super
Bowl at 41, completed four straight passes,
including a pair covering 47 yards to
Gronkowski. The second , on which the star
tight end beat two defenders, ended at the
Los Angeles 2, the only time either team
was inside the 20-yard line. Michel ran off
left tackle for his sixth postseason touch-
down.
“He knows to trust in me and throw that
ball,” Gronkowski said, “and I’m going to
grab it.”
Julian Edelman, the outstanding receiver
who missed the 2017 season with a knee
injury, was the game’s MVP with 10 recep-
tions for 141 yards.
With 4:17 left, All-Pro Stephon Gilmore
picked off an ill-advised pass by Rams quar-
terback Jared Goff, who seemed over-
whelmed by the big stage all night, at the
New England 2.
Stephen Gostkowski made a 41-yard field
goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a 72-
yard march that took more than three min-
utes off the clock and included 26-yard runs
by Michel and Rex Burkhead.
It was a workmanlike conclusion for the
Patriots (14-5), whose losses all came away
from New England. They beat the top two
offenses in the Chiefs and Rams (15-4) in
the postseason, and tied Pittsburgh for most

World class retirement party for SHP takes down

Lindsey Vonn and Lund Svindal Menlo in battle
By Andrew Dampf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For Lindsey Vonn and Aksel Lund Svindal,
the world championships beginning this week
in Are, Sweden, will mark the end of an era.
The event will also bring Vonn and Svindal
full circle — back to the
site of their first major
championship successes
more than a decade ago.
Vonn claimed the first
medals of her career, two
silvers, at the frigid 2007
worlds in Are , while
Svindal claimed his first
golds a dozen years ago
Lund Svindal by winning the downhill
and giant slalom.
Both went on to become overall World Cup
and Olympic champions and two of skiing’s
most well-spoken ambassadors.
“It’s always been a good place for me. I’ve
always felt comfortable there,” said Vonn, who
has also won seven World Cup races in Are. “It’s
a good place to have my last world champi-
onships. I’m really excited to go back up there.”
The 34-year-old Vonn announced on
Friday that due to her battered knees, she
will retire after competing in the super-G
and downhill in Are.
Lindsey Vonn skis the slalom in the women’s alpine combined at the 2018 Winter Games.
And while she will end up four wins short
of the all-time World Cup record of 86 held
by Ingemar Stenmark, Vonn still plans a
tribute to the Swedish standout.
“I have a cool suit that I kind of designed
in honor of Stenmark,” Vonn said.

The 36-year-old Svindal, also slowed by
persistent knee injuries, recently
announced that he, too, will retire after

Okpala scores 30 to help Stanford hold off Cal
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERKELEY — Stanford coach Jerod Haase
would like to see KZ Okpala improve his
passing and defense over the next few years.
Okpala’s scoring? Not an issue at all.
Okpala scored a career-high 30 points and
had eight rebounds, and Stanford held on to
beat California 84-81 on Sunday.
It’s the 12th time this season that Okpala
has had 20 or more points, most in the Pac-
12 teams and eight more than he had all of
last season.
“He’s been a rock in terms of offensively
producing,” Haase said. “There’s so much
more for him to grow, but he’s really devel-
oping really quickly. He’s a foundational
piece for everything we do.”
Okpala’s shot 10 of 17 but went 0-for-4
beyond the arc and overcame missing five
free throws in the second half.
“Just making the right reads,” Okpala said.
“The game was coming to me. Every game I
have the same approach, use my ability to
get to the rim.”
Bryce Wills added 16 points and Daejon
Davis scored 14 for Stanford (11-10, 4-5 Pac-
12). The Cardinal have won three of four.
Justice Sueing had 23 points and seven
rebounds for California (5-16, 0-9). The
Golden Bears have lost 10 straight, match-
ing the longest streak in school history.
Okapala scored 19 in the second half and
made a clinching free throw with 13.3 sec-
onds left, but it was a play moments earlier
that had the Haas Pavilion crowd buzzing.
California’s Matt Bradley drove baseline
and scored for an apparent tying basket.

Reliable as ever, Edelman
named Super Bowl MVP
By Dennis Waszak Jr.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Julian Edelman was forced
to watch only as a spectator as his disap-
pointed New England Patriots teammates
trudged off the field a year ago as Super
Bowl losers.
Catch after catch in this one, Tom
Brady’s favorite wide receiver helped make
them winners again.
“It’s pretty surreal,” Edelman said, shak-
ing his head. “Tough times don’t last,
tough people do. I preach that, and, I guess
you have to live to it.”
Edelman certainly did Sunday night,
earning Super Bowl MVP honors with 10
receptions for 141 yards while helping lift
the Patriots to a 13-3 victory over the Los
Angeles Rams.
“My name was called,” he said. “I was
asked to make a couple plays and we were
able to do that.”
Edelman and Brady made one final con-
nection — at midfield with confetti flying
around them. They embraced for several
moments — eyes filled with the tears of
champions.
“The hug was just two Bay Area boys that
love football, love to compete and are liv-
ing out our dreams,” Edelman said before

after New England allowed the fewest points
in a Super Bowl (tied with Dallas in 1972
against Miami). “We didn’t give up. A lot was
thrown at us. When we play like we did
tonight, we can’t be beat.”
The Rams, who reached the NFL champi-
onship game with the aid of a major officiat-
ing error in the conference title victory at
New Orleans, never really threatened to reach
the end zone.
“Last time I checked, defense wins champi-
onships,” Rams running back C.J. Anderson
said.

taking a second to clarify one small detail.
“I think he held me,” the bushy-bearded
Edelman said with a big grin. “I didn’t hold
him.”
It was an incredibly satisfying ending to
a big-time comeback season for Edelman, a
guy considered by Brady to be like a little
brother — some teammates even jokingly
say they have a “bromance” — and widely
regarded as one of the greatest slot
receivers in league history.
And, he was at it again against the Rams.
Reliable and steady. All night long.
“He’s a fighter, man, that kid,” Brady
said. “I’m just so proud of him. He’s been
an incredible player for this team in the
playoffs and he just cemented himself,
again, in the history of the NFL for what
his accomplishments are.”
Even when things weren’t working early
for the Patriots, Edelman kept the offense
going and the clock rolling as a safety
valve for Brady. Eight of his catches were
for first downs , including a 13-yard grab
during the go-ahead touchdown drive with
7 minutes left in the game.
“Julian always gives us those kinds of
plays,” coach Bill Belichick said. “Tough
plays, tough catches, catch-and-run plays,
breaking tackles for a few extra yards. He
did a tremendous job.”
the Rams, then representing St. Louis, to
begin their dynastic run in the 2002 game.
They also have beaten Carolina and
Philadelphia (2004 and ‘05, the last back-to-
back championships); the Seahawks in
2015; and the Falcons in 2017 in the only
overtime in Super Bowl history.
They have lost three times, including to
Philadelphia a year ago. New England is the
first team since the 1972 Dolphins to win a
Super Bowl the year after losing one.
How the Patriots accomplished it was atyp-
ical. The 10-point margin was their biggest
in winning a championship.
“This whole year, it was the biggest team
win, the biggest team Super Bowl that I’ve
ever been a part of,” said Gronkowski, who
could be headed for retirement.
Brady, who has won four Super Bowl MVP
trophies, wasn’t particularly sharp — except
when throwing to Edelman. He was the stead-
iest offensive player on the field.
MIKE SEGAR/REUTERS
Julian Edleman totaled 10 catches for 141
yards Sunday in Super Bowl LIII.
It has been a long journey back to this
point for Edelman, who missed all of last
season after tearing a knee ligament in
New England’s third preseason game.
What he did in this Super Bowl was
exactly what the Patriots’ offense was
missing in last year’s 41-33 loss to
Philadelphia.
“I mean, injuries are psychologically so
hard for an athlete because you don’t get to
do what you love to do,” Edelman said.
See JULES Page 16
“It just matters that we won,” Edelman said.
“It was a crazy year. We had a resilient bunch
of guys.”
Brady passed Hall of Famer Charles Haley
to become the only player with six Super
Bowl titles.
All those suspicions about the Patriots
declining this season became moot as the
defense made the 24-year-old Goff look awful
and turned All-Pro running back Todd Gurley
into a nonfactor.
It wasn’t a typical New England champi-
onship win. The 2 1/2-point favorite Patriots
moved the ball well, ran down the clock, but
made uncharacteristic gaffes on offense. Goff
and the Rams made more.
“I think we expected to score a lot more
points than that,” Goff said. “It sucks that’s
the way it worked out, but we’ll use this as a
learning experience.”
A painful one.
LA’s second-ranked offense managed 57
THE DAILY JOURNAL
total yards for the first half. The Rams were
completely overmatched on the line and were
particularly unable to handle the elusive
Edelman, who had seven receptions for 93
yards.
Coach Sean McVay, whose Rams never had
been blanked in a first half, let out a long,
deep sigh just before halftime, recognizing
how badly his team was manhandled, even
though it trailed just 3-0.
It was the lowest score at halftime since
Super Bowl 9, which Pittsburgh led 2-0 over
Minnesota.
McVay, the youngest Super Bowl head coach
at 33, admitted he was outcoached. He had no
answers as Gurley, coming off knee issues,
managed 35 yards rushing, Goff went 19 for 38
for 229 yards and was sacked four times.
Brandin Cooks, a Patriots receiver last season,
did have eight receptions for 120 yards.
“They did a great job. I’m disappointed that
I didn’t do a better job of adjusting,” McVay
said. “I know there is a handful of decisions
that I’m going to wish that I could have back,
for sure.”
Kicking game
Gostkowski’s 46-yard miss wide left in the
first quarter was the first unsuccessful field
goal in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of
the Falcons, by an NFL player all season.
The Rams’ Johnny Hekker had a 65-yard
punt in the third quarter, the longest in a Super
Bowl. It was his eighth punt of the game —
with 1 1-2 periods remaining — the most for
LA in McVay’s two seasons in charge.
Greg Zuerlein tied it with 2:11 left in the
third quarter on the first drive on which Los
Angeles gained more than one first down. His
53-yarder was the second-longest field goal
in a Super Bowl.
Coin toss
McVay deferred after winning the coin toss.
In their previous two playoff games, the
Patriots marched right downfield to a touch-
down with the opening kickoff, setting an
immediate tone. This time, after Cordarrelle
Patterson’s 38-yard kickoff return and four
successful runs, Brady’s first pass was tipped
by receiver Chris Hogan and cornerback
Nickell Robey-Coleman. Linebacker Cory
Littleton made a diving interception. It was
the first time Brady was picked on his initial
throw in a postseason game.
Injuries
New England lost safety Patrick Chung on
the third play of the second half when his
right forearm was caught between Gurley’s
shoulder pad and the helmet of teammate
Jonathan Jones. Chung writhed in pain
before walking off with an air cast on.

’Glass’ stays at No. 1, while ’Miss Bala’ opens in third The Amazon, part 1
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — With the distraction of
the Super Bowl, freezing temperatures affect-
ing large portions of North America and
only one big new release in theaters in
“Miss Bala,” movie going audiences largely
took the weekend off from the theaters in
what is estimated to be the lowest-earning
Super Bowl weekend in nearly two decades.
M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass” kept a frag-
ile hold on the No. 1 spot for the third time
while “The Upside” stayed in a close second
on this sleepy box office weekend. Studios
on Sunday estimate that “Glass” has earned
an additional $9.5 million in ticket sales,
bringing its total earnings to $88.7 mil-
lion.
STX’s “The Upside” added $8.9 million.
The Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston film has
held very well in its four weeks in theaters,
never dropping more than 30 percent week
to week. Its domestic grosses are already up
to $75.6 million.
Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage in US immigration custody
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Grammy-nominated rapper
21 Savage was taken into federal immigra-

said.
The artist, whose given name is Sha Yaa

Come together: Super Bowl Sunday, the last stand of live TV
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Oh sure, there’s plenty of
evidence to support the soothsayers who are
predicting the slow, inevitable death of live
television.
And there’s plenty of proof to bolster the-
ories about the NFL’s slipping popularity.
But when it comes to clicking away from
Super Bowl Sunday — forget about it.
Whether streaming it digitally, firing up
the cable box or heading to a friend’s house
for chips, dip and commercials, it’s a good
bet that cord cutters, antenna owners and
everyone in between can be found right
where they always are on this day — gath-
ered in front of the TV set in massive num-
bers.
Exactly as they were 40 years ago.
Exactly as they were 20 years ago.
Almost certainly as they’ll be 10 years
from now.
Fact is, despite today’s rapidly fragment-
ing modern-day viewing audience, most
people want to watch their sports live. The
Super Bowl is the biggest event of the year.
As such, it is, by almost any measure, the
last bastion of nationwide communal TV-
watching we partake in anymore.
DATEBOOK
The weekend’s only
big newcomer, “Miss
Bala,” landed in third
place with $6.7 million.

Jackson tions for the Sony film,
“Miss Bala” was also
made for a modest $15 million. Still, with a
dismal 27 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it
will have its work cut out for itself to break
even.
“The box office in 2019 hasn’t gotten its
groove back yet,” said Comscore senior
media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “Januarys
by and large are not known as blockbuster
months and that certainly has held true this
year with the month being down 16 per-
cent.”

LaPolt said.
21 Savage
Abraham-Joseph is
nominated for two awards at next week’s

Of the 10 highest-rated television pro-

“It’s an outlier because, unlike pretty
much everything else, it’s not an event we

lion.
Peter Jackson’s World War I documentary
“They Shall Not Grow Old” opened on 735
screens after a few single day showings to a
robust $2.4 million, which was enough for
it to crack the top 10. The Mads Mikkelsen
survival thriller “Arctic” also opened in lim-
ited release to $56,463 from four locations.
The overall industry grosses from the
weekend is estimated to be around $71 mil-
lion. There hasn’t been a worse-performing
Super Bowl box office weekend since 2000.
“We’ve had certain movies hit it big on
Super Bowl weekend,” said Dergarabedian.
“But it’s all about momentum and we don’t
have it right now.”
Some high earning Super Bowl weekend
anomalies have included “Taken” and the
“Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of
Both Worlds Concert.”
It’s an undeniable cooling off period from

He has been placed in deportation pro-

said.
LeBron James apologized in December
for posting one of Abraham-Joseph’s lyrics
that referenced “Jewish money.” The bas-
ketball star apologized on ESPN, saying he
got caught up in the music and thought the
lyric was a “compliment.”
The rapper later tweeted his own apology
for the lyric from the song “ASMR,” which
says, “We been getting that Jewish money,
Everything is Kosher.”

uncertainty of our changing environ-
ment,” he wrote in the report.
With ongoing expenditures expected
to grow some $90.5 million in the
next five years and ongoing revenue
projected to grow at the same pace,
Callagy advocated for officials to keep
a close eye on growth in revenue and
expenses in the coming months.
Among the revenue expected to
grow in the fiscal year 2018-19 is the
secured property tax revenue, which is
expected to drive a 5. 2 percent
increase in general purpose revenue
from the prior year. The county’s
excess Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund, or ERAF, is
expected to average $129 million but
the revenue source has long been con-
sidered volatile because it is tied to
changes in the funding levels guaran-
teed by the Local Control Funding
Formula for schools, according to the
report.
The mid-year budget report esti-
mates $90 million will be generated
in the 2018-19 fiscal year by Measure
known as Measure A and extended by
voters in 2016 that has been used
toward affordable housing projects,
health programs and educational pro-
grams at county parks, among other
initiatives. The funds generated by
Measure K, as well as a public safety
sales tax established by Proposition
172, are projected to grow 2 percent
annually in the next five years,
according to the report.
Though Callagy’s report acknowl-
edged federal funds destined for the
county through the Affordable Care
Act have stabilized, officials have
been exploring ways to manage a
structural deficit officials have pro-
jected for County Health’s two-year
budget starting in the 2019-20 fiscal
year. Rising health care costs and the
uncertainty of federal and state health
care funding were among the factors
weighed in a projected structural
deficit estimated to range from $24.7
million to $48.8 million over the
two-year period.
Callagy noted it was too early to tell
how Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal
to expand Medi-Cal coverage to eligi-
ble young adults ages 19 and 26
regardless of their immigration status

adding some 1,800 residents between
ages 19 and 25 could move to Medi-
Cal should the change come to pass.
The receipt of some $217 million in
the county’s first round of lease rev-
enue bond financing boosted funds for
a slate of capital projects estimated to
cost $487. 6 million collectively,
Callagy noted in the report. Aimed at
upgrading aging county facilities, the
projects include the demolition and
replacement of aging medical adminis-
tration buildings at the medical cam-
pus in San Mateo, a new county office
building in Redwood City, a new park-
ing structure for the county govern-
ment campus in Redwood City, a new
Cordilleras Mental Health Facility and
an upgrade to the South San Francisco
Health Campus, among other projects.
Acknowledging the county has a
long history of collaboratively
addressing issues, Callagy emphasized
the importance of serving those
dependent on county services.
“Now, more than ever, we must come
together as a nation, as a state and as a
county to collectively address some of
the daunting challenges we face
nationally and locally,” he wrote in
the report.

ing, Job ME038, 201 Baldwin Ave., 2nd Court of California, County of San Mateo.
415-798-0021 Fl., San Mateo, CA 94401. The Petition for Probate requests that
Kathleen G. Babcock be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: FEB. 20, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
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 representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin

RISE
Continued from page 1
in sea level rise, Pine advocated for a new
agency to focus on the cross-jurisdictional
work needed to address the complex issue
threatening San Mateo County’s Bayside
and coastal shorelines.
“We … know that sea level rise poses a
particular threat in San Mateo County,” he
said, according to a video of the meeting.
“There’s a lot happening, but to really take
this to the next level, we need to come
together in a more formal way.”
Established in 1959, the San Mateo
County Flood Control District has largely
managed flood control for the areas sur-
rounding the Colma, San Bruno and San
Francisquito creeks, explained county
Public Works Director Jim Porter. After the
Board of Supervisors allocated some $6.2
million to address flooding in the county’s
unincorporated areas, officials have been
able to begin addressing flooding along the
Bayfront Canal in Redwood City, the
Belmont Creek in Belmont and San Carlos
as well as the Navigable Slough in South
San Francisco, he said.
info@sancarloselms.com t
LOCAL
Porter acknowledged many flood mitiga-
tion projects must now account for high
tides, intense storms and sea level rise,
which can also drive up the cost and extend
the timelines of projects already estimated
to cost tens of millions of dollars.
Since collaboration between jurisdictions
can be an attractive feature of applications
for state and federal funding, Porter under-
scored the importance of the collaboration
between the county’s multiple jurisdictions
as they seek support for these types of proj-
ects.
“We as a county want to speak as one
voice about these issues,” he said. “Water
knows no boundaries … It’s important we
look at this as a ... county.”
More than three years ago, Porter said the
City/County Association of Governments
formed an ad-hoc water committee to
explore countywide coordination of water
projects, noting the group has focused on
exploring the effects of sea level rise in the
last year. In crafting a proposal for the new
agency, the C/CAG water committee con-
vened 18 staff representatives from C/CAG,
San Mateo County, cities and other water-
related agencies, he said.
Porter said consensus was reached among
staff and C/CAG officials that cities and the

county would contribute $1.5 million annu-
ally for three years to establish the new
agency and fund two or three staff members
to identify funding sources for sea level rise
mitigation measures. Of the $1.5 million
contributed annually, the county would
come up with $750,000 and cities would
collectively contribute $750,000 in differ-
ent amounts based on population, he said.
Approved by the C/CAG Board of
Directors Jan. 10, the proposal will go
before city and town councils in the coming
months, said Porter. He added Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, has
agreed to pursue state legislation needed to
change the flood district’s governance to a
seven-member board consisting of five city
officials and two county supervisors, one of
whom will represent District 3, which
includes much of the county’s coastline.
Once the agency is formed, Porter said it
will focus on hiring an executive director,
entering into contracts with the county’s
Monday • Feb 4, 2019 27
Public Works Department for flood protec-
tion services, studying the coastline to pri-
oritize mitigation measures to prevent ero-
sion and establishing a presence in
Washington, D.C., so the agency can be
effective in advocating for federal funding.
In voicing support for the new agency,
Supervisor Don Horsley, who represents
District 3, noted the threat of erosion on
coastal housing and harbors and the impor-
tance of developing protection measures for
the coast. He credited coastal residents and
officials for focusing on projects protecting
shoreline over the years and maintaining a
beautiful stretch of the California coast.
Moss Beach resident Zoe Kersteen-
Tucker, who is also a board member on
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District, also supported a renewed focus on
countywide collaboration to protect the
environment, housing, roads and business-
es as well as the agency’s potential to
become leading experts in sea level rise.
“Much of the really critical natural and
built infrastructure is directly in harm’s way
on the coastside,” she said. “I look forward
to seeing this agency move forward and take
a leadership role in the state.”
