Levee breach returns tides to inner Bair Island

Project converts former salt pond to natural wetlands
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A levee breach has reintroduced tidal

water to inner Bair Island for the first
time since the area was diked off for
agriculture in the 1880s.
The island, off Whipple Road in
Redwood City, was later converted for
salt production.
With the decadelong project to
restore Bair Island now achieved, it
becomes the largest undeveloped
island in south San Francisco Bay.
The tides from San Francisco Bay
were formally returned to Bair Island
by breaching the levees Dec. 10 during

ceremonies sponsored by the U. S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, Peninsula
Open Space Trust, Ducks Unlimited,
the Friends of Redwood City and other
partners including the Port of Redwood
City and the city of Redwood City.
The Port of Redwood City played a
key early role in jump-starting the
restoration process. During the winter
of 2008-09, the ports dredge material
from its maintenance dredging was
used by the wildlife service to help
restore the tidal marsh.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
awarded a $3.6 million contract to
move sediment from the bottom of the

port channel into barges. The barges

were towed up Redwood Creek to a
pumping station across from the former Petes Harbor, where the sediment
was removed and piped to Bair Island.
The process took six weeks.
It was unique because it was the first
time the sediments dredged from the
channel were placed on Bair Island to
help the restoration of the tidal
marsh, Michael J. Giari, Port of
Redwood City executive director,
wrote in a statement about the project.

Four arrested after

shoplifting, scuffle at Home Depot

FOSTER CITY

Four people suspected of conspiring to

shoplift at a Home Depot store in San
Carlos on Monday were arrested following
a scuffle, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office.
Sheriffs deputies responded to a call
regarding a fight between a suspect and
store security at about 8:45 p.m. Monday
at the Home Depot at 1125 Old County
Road, sheriffs officials said.
Deputies discovered that the suspect,
identified as 27-year-old Gregory Stoft, of
San Francisco, had allegedly been
shoplifting merchandise when a security
guard stopped him.
Stoft was apparently taking items to a
vehicle parked outside with three other
suspects: 29-year-old Novato resident
Kyle Burkhard, 28-year-old Pacifica resident Danielle Dwyre and 25-year-old Daly
City resident Gina Flanagan.
When confronted by store security, Stoft
handed over stolen merchandise when the
security guard said a surveillance camera
captured him stealing it, sheriffs officials
said.
However, he then allegedly assaulted the
security guard in an attempt to get away,
but was ultimately detained after a brief
struggle. The other three suspects left the
stores parking lot in their vehicle, which
was stopped later by sheriffs deputies on
Brittan Avenue at Industrial Road, sheriffs
officials said.
A controlled substance was allegedly
found in the possession of the trio.
Burkhard and Dwyre were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime and
possession of a controlled substance.
Stoft was arrested on those counts plus a
robbery count.
Flanagan was arrested only on suspicion
of possessing a controlled substance.

NASA calls off next Mars mission

By Mike Schneider
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. NASA is

calling off its next mission to
Mars because there isnt enough
time to fix a leaky seal on a key
science instrument.
The InSight spacecraft was set
for launch in March. The problem
is with a protective pouch around
the landers seismometer, which
was designed to measure ground
movement on the red planet.
NASA managers and French
designers of the instrument said
Tuesday they must now decide
whether the pouchs vacuum seal
needs to be repaired, redesigned or
the mission scrapped.
The next opportunity to launch
the InSight lander is in May 2018
since the best chances of launching missions between Earth and
Mars occur for just a few weeks
every 26 months.
Were close enough to launch

but unfortunately we dont have

enough time to try to identify the
leak, fix it and recover and still
make it to the launch pad in
March, said John Grunsfeld,
NASAs science mission chief.
The goal of the mission was to
explore the interior core, mantle
and crust of Mars in a way that no
other planet has been studied outside of Earth. So far, $525 million
has spent on the $675 million
mission.
We know the interior of Earth
and its structure very well, but of
the other planets, Mars is our only
hope to make those kinds of measurements, said Jim Green, director of NASAs Planetary Science
Division.
NASA managers said it could
take several months of analysis
and discussion before they decide
how to proceed. A redesign of the
part could make the 2018 opportunity unlikely since it could take up
to five years.

After the clerk complied, the
suspect took an undisclosed
amount of cash and fled on foot.
He was not found during a later
search of the area, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
Sheriffs officials described the

Donald Trump uses crude

language to mock Clinton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republican
presidential candidate Donald
Trump labeled Democrat Hillary
Clinton disgusting for using
the restroom during a commercial
break at the last Democratic
debate and used crude language to
describe her primary loss to nowPresident Barack Obama in 2008.
She was favored to win and she
got schlonged, she lost, he said
on Monday night, using a slang
word for male genitalia.
Trump, who has ramped up his
criticism of Clinton in recent
weeks, also mocked Clinton for

returning late

break
because shed

bathroom.
What happened to her?
Hillary Clinton Im watching
the debate, and
she disappeared. Where did she
go?! Trump said at the rally at the
DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
I know where she went. Its disgusting, I dont want to talk about

it, he added. No, its too disgusting. Dont say it, its disgusting.
This isnt the first time Trump
has used what could be interpreted
as gendered language to criticize
Clinton. He has repeatedly
described her as lacking the
strength and stamina to be president and invoked the image of her
putting on a pantsuit before heading to work.
But the latest remarks appear to
have hit a new nerve. After declining to comment Monday evening,
Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer
Palmieri took to Twitter to label
the language degrading.

WASHINGTON The Obama

administration formally disclosed
Tuesday that in the 2015 budget
year, the U.S. deported the fewest
immigrants since 2006.
The
Homeland
Security
Department oversaw the deportation of about 235, 413 people
between October 2014 and
September 2015. Over the same
period, 337, 117 people were
arrested trying to cross the border
illegally.
The Associated Press reported in
October that Immigration and
Customs Enforcement had deported about 231,000 people through
Sept. 28.
DHS has previously said the
drop in deportations overseen by
ICE is largely due to the decline in
arrests at the border. Border arrests

dropped about 30 percent from

2014 to 2015. The 2015 border
arrests included roughly 79,800
people traveling as families and
children traveling alone, mostly
from Central America.
The overall total of deportations
generally does not include
Mexicans caught at the border and
quickly returned home by the
Border Patrol.
Last years removal numbers
reflect this departments increased
focus on prioritizing convicted
criminals and threats to public
safety, border security and national security, Homeland Security
Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a
statement.
Roughly 136, 700 convicted
criminals were deported in the
2015 budget year. The share of
criminal immigrants deported rose
slightly from about 56 percent to
roughly 59 percent from 2014 to
2015.

The coalition represents black
student groups at the 10 UC campuses. Its members argue that
prison spending deprives schools

Man who loaned gun to
marathon bomber gets time served
BOSTON A man who loaned a gun used by the Boston
Marathon bombers to kill a police officer was sentenced
Tuesday to the 17 months he has already served and apologized, saying his actions were dumb.
I was young, dumb, and thought I could outsmart everyone, 22-year-old Stephen Silva told a judge in U.S.
District Court. He pleaded guilty to gun and heroin distribution charges last year.
Silva testified during the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that
he let Tsarnaev borrow a Ruger 9mm handgun two months
before the bombings. The two had known each other since
eighth grade and attended school together in Cambridge.
He said Tsarnaev told him he wanted the gun to rob
University of Rhode Island students, adding that Tsarnaev

Report: More young adults

signing up for Obamacare
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Midway through

sign-up season, more young adults are
getting coverage through President
Barack Obamas health care law. The
number of new customers is also trending higher, officials said Tuesday in an
upbeat report.
Outside analysts who reviewed the
administrations update said it reflects
encouraging progress, but that may not
dispel questions about the long-term
future of the health insurance markets
created under Obamas 2010 overhaul.
Premiums have been going up and getting new sign-ups remains a challenge.
Administration
statistics
also
showed some continuing problems verifying the citizenship and income of
applicants for subsidized coverage.
Consumer advocates say those issues
generally stem from the complexity of
the law, and that many people who run

More

into verification problems simply drop

out. Some become uninsured again.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia M. Burwell said more than 8.2
million people signed up or renewed
coverage for 2016 from Nov. 1 through
Dec. 19. Open enrollment ends on Jan.
31. People who remain uninsured after
that risk rising fines.
Were off to a strong start, Burwell
said Tuesday, noting that the numbers
reflect only the 38 states using the
HealthCare.gov website and call center.
Major states running their own programs, including California and New
York, were not counted in Tuesdays
report, and their totals will be factored
in later.
About 2.4 million people whove
signed up are new to HealthCare.gov,
said Burwell, ahead of last years levels.
And 2.1 million are under age 35, a
coveted demographic because young
adults tend to be healthy and their participation helps keep premiums in

check. The number of younger adults

signed up is close to double what it was
at this point last year.
Obamas health care law offers subsidized private health insurance to people
who dont have access to job-based
coverage. This year nearly 85 percent
of customers nationwide are receiving
assistance that averages $271 a month.
Between the insurance markets and
the laws Medicaid expansion for lowincome people, the health care law has
helped bring down the nations uninsured rate to 9 percent, a historic low.
That translates to more than 16 million
people gaining coverage since the law
passed five years ago.
Tuesdays update amounted to a halftime report on the 2016 enrollment season.
Independent analysts said the administration should be able to meet or
exceed its ultimate goal, which is having 10 million people signed up and
paying premiums at the end of 2016.

AUSTIN, Texas A Texas grand jury still could charge

the trooper who shouted I will light you up! during a traffic stop resulting in the arrest of Sandra Bland, a move that
would focus attention on what experts say is lax state
police handling of complaints and misconduct.
Records provided to the Associated Press show at least six
formal complaints found valid since January, 2012 against
members of the nearly 4,000-strong state force for violating traffic stop procedures.
But authorities cannot put a number on informal accusations such as rudeness or attitude in which citizens
dont sign affidavits that trigger formal investigations.
Law enforcement watchdogs said that is a departure from

IOM: Over 1 million refugees,

migrants enter Europe in 2015
By Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Barack Obama celebrates after chipping in on the 18th green to end his round of golf with
friends at the Mid-Pacific Country Club in Kailua, Hawaii.

Budget deal done, Obama and

Congress go their own ways
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Five days after Paul

Ryan was sworn in as House speaker, the
White House promised to invite him to meet
President Barack Obama for a perfunctory
but traditional photo opportunity. It would
be a chance for the leaders to shake hands
for the cameras and exchange pledges to
work together.
Ryan never got that invitation.
It turns out the White House didnt want a
photo marking the advent of a new
Republican speaker. And despite the new
leadership, neither side was eager to signal a
reset in relations. Instead, both Republican
and White House officials say they picked
up this fall where Obama and former House
Speaker John Boehner left off.

GENEVA More than 1 million people

driven out of their countries by war, poverty
and persecution entered Europe in this recordbreaking year, migration experts said
Tuesday, a symbolic milestone capping a
mass movement of people that has challenged the concept of European unity.
With just days left in 2015, the Genevabased International Organization for
Migration said 1,005,504 people had entered
Europe as of Monday, more than four times as
many as last year. Almost all came by sea,
while 3,692 others drowned trying to make
the crossing.
IOM director-general William Lacy Swing
urged European governments to make migration safer.
We know migration is inevitable. Its necessary and its desirable, he said, adding:
Migration must be legal, safe and secure for

all both for the migrants themselves and

the countries that will become their new
home.
The IOM compiles the numbers from government records in Greece, Italy, Bulgaria,
Spain, Malta and Cyprus, spokesman Joel
Millman said. He noted that the real number
of people entering Europe may be even larger,
because authorities are struggling to track all
arrivals given the sheer volume.
Most people entered Europe via Greece,
which took in 820,000 people this year,
nearly all of them crossing from Turkey by
boat across the Aegean Sea. Another 150,000
came into Italy across the Mediterranean from
north Africa, while smaller numbers crossed
from Turkey by land into neighboring Greece
and Bulgaria. Much smaller numbers arrived
by boat to other Mediterranean countries.
Others not accounted for in the IOM tally
crossed into Europe across other borders,
such as a route from Russia to Norway where a
few thousand people have crossed by bicycle.

As Ryan himself put it, the House has an

agenda and it doesnt require the president.
The mutual lack of interest has taken hold
with little drama.
Seeing scant reason to dig in and fight,
congressional leaders and the White House
reached an agreement on a massive year-end
tax and spending package last week, without shutting down the government. The deal
represented something once commonplace
in Washington: a compromise, with elements for all sides to like and dislike.
But no one is talking about the dawn of a
new era of cooperation.
Kudos to him, Obama said of Ryans
work in actually passing a budget the way
Congress used to. In his year-end press conference, the president said he had some
optimism on a narrow set of issues.

British troops deploy

to Afghan province
amid Taliban battle
By Lynne ODonell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan When

Afghanistans President Ashraf
Ghani took office, it ushered in a
period of hope for the countrys
traumatized people that decades of
violence would soon end. But just
one year later, a mood of crisis
prevails: British troops are being
sent to help the army maintain
control of a strategically important district and many Afghans
believe the Taliban are winning.
The announcement that British
soldiers are being dispatched to
Helmand Province came hours
after a Taliban suicide bomber
killed six U. S. troops near a
major military base in the deadliest single attack on American
troops in the country since 2013.
A British Ministry of Defense
statement late Monday said a
small number of U.K. personnel
were being sent to Helmand in an
advisory role. The U.K. has 450
troops in Afghanistan as part of
NATOs training mission.
Security has worsened across
the country as the Taliban test the
mettle of Afghan security forces

following the end of the international combat mission last year.

While they dont typically hold
any territory they win for more
than a few hours or days, the
Taliban have dealt a massive
blow to the confidence of the
over-stretched Afghan forces,
who are fighting the insurgency
almost alone for the first time.
Officials have said casualties, as
well as attrition and desertion,
have taken a toll on numbers of
government forces, while the
Taliban strength seems never to
diminish.
Fighting has raged between
Taliban and Afghan forces in
Helmands Sangin district, where
an official said the districts army
base was the only area that had
not fallen to the Taliban. He
spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to
speak to the media.
The spokesman for the Helmand
governor, Omar Zwaq, said government troops were able to deliver supplies to those holed up
inside mid-afternoon Tuesday.
But, he added, there was no let-up
in the fight for Sangin.

said the siege continued and the
government will soon announce
their defeat.
Helmand is important to the
Taliban. The lush southern
province is home to endless
poppy fields and the source of
almost all the worlds opium,
which helps fund the insurgency.
The head of Helmands provincial
council, Muhammad Kareem Atal,
said about 65 percent of Helmand
is now under Taliban control.
There are currently about

13, 000 foreign troops in

Afghanistan, including 9, 800
Americans, with a mandate to
train, assist and advise their
Afghan counterparts. Thats compared to 140,000 foreign troops
at the peak of combat operations
in 2011.
Officials see no traditional winter slowdown in the insurgents
quest to overthrow the Kabul government, especially in the warmer
southern provinces of Helmand
and Kandahar. They expect tough

fighting in 2016 as what the

Pentagon last week called an
invigorated Taliban steps up its
fight.
At the same time, Ghanis government appears paralyzed by
indecision and a lack of political
intelligence that sees him use
public appearances to deliver lectures but remains incapable of
permanently filling vital security
posts such as defense and intelligence, both of which are run by
acting ministers.

Iraqi troops advance in battle for IS-held city of Ramadi

By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi forces on

Tuesday reported progress in the
military operation to retake the
city of Ramadi from the Islamic
State group, saying they made the
most significant incursion into the
city since it fell to the militants in
May.
Losing Ramadi the capital of
sprawling western Anbar province
and Iraqs Sunni heartland was a
major blow to the Iraqi government. It was the governments
biggest defeat since IS militants

swept through areas in the countrys north and west, including

Iraqs second-largest city of Mosul,
in the summer of 2014.
Iraqi forces announced a counteroffensive shortly afterward
Mosul fell but progress has been
sluggish and clawing territory
back from IS has proven more difficult than expected.
Col. Steve Warren, a spokesman
for the U.S. military in Baghdad,
said there are 250 to 350 Islamic
State fighters in Ramadi, as well as
several hundred outside the city on
the northern and western perimeter.

Sporadic clashes broke out and

On Tuesday, the Dubbat neighborhood saw heavy fighting, with
one soldier killed and 14 wounded,
said an official in the Anbar operations room, speaking on condition

Warren said U.S. officials found a

pamphlet in Fallujah that was distributed to IS fighters, calling on
them to disguise themselves as
Iraqi security forces and then film
themselves committing atrocities,
such as killing and torturing civilians and blowing up mosques.
According to a copy of the document distributed to reporters, it
said the video clips should be distributed to television outlets to
depict the conflict as if it is a sectarian war. It was signed by a security and military official named
Abou Hajer al-Issawi and dated
early October.

Enjoy each other this holiday season

t is that time of the year during

which many of us scurry about
with last-minute errands and
obligations before attempting to
break for the holidays.
Stores are busy, streets are busy, we
are busy. And the rain, though muchneeded, doesnt help. It takes longer
to get places and there is more planning required to get our chores taken
care of. While many try their best to
maintain the Christmas spirit, you
know, good will to all mankind, and
all that, too often we can let the
stress of completing our to-do list get
in the way.
And while the Bay Area has become
a stressful place for many because of
its high cost of living and crowded
streets, it is important to note that

Editorial
many of us have it pretty good. San
Mateo County is a fairly interesting
place and we are lucky to live here and
experience what is happening here
despite its growing pains. And it is
also important to note that while
many of us have it pretty good, there
are others who dont. They may be
lacking gifts, struggling with rent or
just wondering how they will make
ends meet. There is a reason why tis
also the season for charitable giving.
There are many ways to donate or
share our resources, and many of
those ways have been highlighted on
our pages in the past week leading up

to the holidays. From the Half Moon

Bay church that had its Christmas
gifts stolen and replaced through the
generosity of others to the couple
that decorates their San Mateo home
as a fundraiser for others and the
gofundme account started for a single
mother in Belmont struggling to stay
in the city she calls home. This county is a generous one, but that generosity should not be limited to nancial
contributions and gifts. If you do not
have the means to give, there are
other ways to make sure the season
stays bright. Smile at others, be gracious on the roads and while shopping. Enjoy the spirit of your fellow
citizens and try to create your own
spirit of giving peace and good will
to all.

Overdevelopment
on the Peninsula
Editor,
Thank heavens people are beginning to notice the overdevelopment
of the Peninsula. Beverly Kalinins
letter to the editor Congested trafc
in the Dec. 22 edition of the Daily
Journal hits the nail on the head. She
should come to Redwood City and see
that San Mateo is not the only city
developing without thinking.
Transit-oriented corridor is the
buzzword rich developers are using to
develop the city. Its a great phrase
like affordable housing, used to get
through the planning department. If
this thought process is so correct,
why are the rich replacing our normal
citizens? I have nothing against the
rich, but citizens that have grown up
in our towns deserve the rst say in
development. When teachers cant
afford to live in the town they teach
in, something is terribly wrong.
When developers use the term affordable housing, it does not mean lowincome housing. For a lot of the middle class, the housing is not affordable. If any of this hits home, write
or call your representative, but for a
few days forget it all and have a
happy holiday, whatever your faith
is.

Deregulation
Editor,
What we are seeing in the Bay Area
is a result of deregulation started by
the Reagan administration. That
famous saying from Reagan let the
bull run wild is in play today.
Reagan made it so that big business
would have full sway in America. No
longer would companies have to offer
pensions rather 401(k)s instead. The
housing market is the same with
no rent control, the sky is the limit
in terms of rental property. The theory of trickle-down economics where
the wealthy create more jobs by
expanding their business simply isnt
true. Real economic growth and
prosperity comes from the middle
class having more of their income
to spend since they are the ones who
purchase more goods and services.
When this happens companies have
to hire more staff and open new outlets to meet the increase in consumer
demand.
So, here we have Reaganomics at
play in the Bay Area today as the rich
are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is

Paris climate control

accord is only a step forward
Editor,
The Paris climate control accord is
quite an achievement. Unfortunately
international law probably wont
consider it to have legal force. What
is needed is a treaty, which under our
Constitution would require the
approval of two-thirds of the Senate.
Any climate change treaty would be
dead on arrival in the Senate, especially in an election year. If the
accord is not legally binding, then
there is no agreement.
The president could enact an executive agreement, which does not
require Senate consent. However, the
next president could repeal the
accord. When it comes to a climate
control accord in Paris, an executive
agreement probably does not meet
the legally binding demands of the
accord because the president alone
cannot keep all the promises set forth
in the accord.
However, the fact that 195 nations
reached a climate control accord is no
small achievement. But there is still
much work to be done.

Gifts that last

he very nature of the current American daily

life fast-paced and frequently changing
causes our failure to both recognize and meet
the most important needs of our children. Joseph
Rosner, Myths of Childrearing.
I recently read a new book titled, How To Raise an
Adult Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare
Your Kid for Success. Its about the many helicopter parents who are so over involved in their childs life that it
has become a plague of overcontrolling stressed-out parents and helpless, insecure children. But, in this materialistic era, as many children ask Santa for their hearts
desire and eagerly open and enjoy their gifts, we must not
forget the great many children who do not get the attention and care that they need and deserve. This includes adequate time with nurturing parents (or other caretakers) who
have their best interest at
heart.
The best gifts that parents can bestow upon their
children are not the latest
toys purchased online,
wrapped colorfully and put
under the Christmas tree.
Neither are they those that
Santa may bring. They are
the ones that indicate concern for the childs healthy
growth and development all
throughout the year by parents who do not hover but
take child raising serious
enough to contribute to the childs well-being. These are
gifts that can last, in many ways, a lifetime. Consider the
following:
Parents (or other caretakers) with their childs best
interest at heart will see that their child is always offered
nutritious food ideally no junk food in the house and no
food from fast-food establishments. The child will mainly
eat meals prepared at home with nutrition in mind. This
gift is the best way to contribute to their physical health
now and in the future.
Parents will do their best to protect their child from dangerous chemicals in food, personal products and the environment, etc. A reminder of some of the chemical threats
to our childrens health: BPA in the lining of cans; plastic
toys and other plastics; formaldehyde exposure in many
day care centers and schools, carpet and furniture re and
soil retardants; pesticides and herbicides on lawns, on
food, etc., emanation from articial turf, fumes from
household cleaners, air fresheners, environmental smoke
and auto exhaust, etc.
Parents will avoid violent and/or racy television shows,
movies or other productions inappropriate for children.
As James P. Sayer wrote in The Other Parent: Weve
progressively let standards and protections for children
erode. First, it was in the interest of free speech and artistic freedom but, along the way, the marketplace took over.
Now its exclusively commercial interests that determine
the content of the media, and explicit sex is a tried-andtrue formula to grab audiences on television. Ditto with
violence.
Parents will contribute to their childs education by regularly reading to them, talking with them, having interesting books in the house, choosing good educational
videos and toys, enjoying museums and other exhibitions, teaching them how to make things and keeping
aware of whats going on in their schools.
Parents will encourage their children to gain self-respect
and respect for others by showing them respect. In the
same way, children learn empathy and concern for their
fellow man. And parents will show their children that it
isnt how much you can accumulate materially that counts,
but how much you contribute to the well-being of society.
Parents will show their children, by modeling, the
importance of honesty, decency, responsibility and compassion. Yes, all of this takes time, but as Penelope Leach
wrote in Are We Shortchanging Our Children?:
Children are not hobbies to be kept out of the way except
when they are wanted. They are not luxuries to be indulged
in when parents have time. And they are not strange
beings best dealt with by professionals. ... Parents are
the ones best equipped to help children to become fullled
people and good citizens. Society, with its dazzle of material prizes, is blinding us to the right to parent our own
children. Can we slow down enough to see where we are
going?
Few children need more toys and gadgets, but a great
many are in need of dedicated parents who care enough to
educate themselves about parenting, who have their
childs well-being utmost in their hearts and become positive role models. If we want children to show concern for
their fellow man, we have to begin by showing concern
for them. Any nation that does not look upon children as
its greatest natural resource can have no future. Eda
LeShan.

Ride-booking business unique clientele: Drunk collegians

By Pat Eaton-Robb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STORRS, Conn. A former University

of Connecticut student has found a niche
market in the ride-booking business, catering to drunk college students who want to
get to and from parties and bars on weekends.
Lance Graziano, 22, said he got the idea
for Sober XPress LLC in 2012, when a
woman flagged him down while he was driving near the Storrs campus and asked if he
could give her and a friend a ride back to
their dorm.
A few days later, Graziano bought a prepaid cellphone and began advertising his
services on several UConn Facebook
pages. People wanting a ride would text
him and give him a couple of bucks in

return for a safe trip home.

Graziano, who was a communication
major, eventually left UConn to run the
business.
Sober Xpress now has about 20 drivers,
all UConn students, and a call center (in
Grazianos apartment). It is set to launch its
own app in just over a month that will allow
students to ask for a ride with the touch of a
button. The company asks for $3 to $8 per
person for any one-way ride within 5 miles
of campus, depending on the number of passengers, more for longer rides.
After the app comes out early next year,
Graziano said, he plans to expand his business to the University of Rhode Island and
the University of Massachusetts.

The drivers take 75 percent of the fare.
Sober XPress gets 25 percent. Drivers usually make about $15 an hour, he said. The
service runs Friday and Saturday nights
from 8 p.m. to about 3 a.m., he said.
Graziano said his service is safer and more
reliable than sober rides offered on social
media at UConn and many other schools.
Sarah Kelly, 20, a junior at UConn, is one
of several freelancers who offers rides in her
car by posting her phone number on a
Facebook page that was set up to buy and
sell basketball tickets. She said its a good
way to pick up extra money on the weekend.
Ive never felt unsafe, she said. Ive
never had anything happen thats really
worrisome. I hear a lot about boy issues. I
see a lot of the sad drunk-girl type.
But Graziano said Sober Xpress is differ-

ent. His drivers undergo background

checks, receive a week of training including
how to deal with drunk people, and their
cars must pass safety inspections, he said.
The company picks up only passengers
who have a valid UConn email address.
Thats kind of our safety barrier for
now, he said.
A competing sober rides company,
Sobrio, which also began at UConn in
2012, is no longer in business.
Graziano said he has had to file a police
report only once, after a passengers
boyfriend tried to stop her from getting in a
Sober Xpress car and he had to physically
remove him from the vehicle. The company
also has a rule, he said, that if drivers see
someone walking on the road who looks in
need of help, drivers must stop and offer
them a free ride.

FOODSNIFFER ($130)
Tis the season for overeating, leftovers
and food poisoning. Got friends who like to
shove meat to the back of the fridge only to
find it a little past its use by date?
The Foodsniffer may be the gift youre
looking for. The device will sniff your
slightly funky chicken, beef, pork or fish.
It senses certain volatile organic compounds that are emitted when food starts to
decompose. Through a smartphone app, you
see whether the meal is fresh, starting to
spoil or spoiled.
The device wont detect the presence of
gastroenteritis from bacteria such as salmonella or e. coli, so make sure you cook your
food sufficiently, even if its deemed fresh.

HAN SOLO FRIDGE ($160)

Nothing says chill like Han Solo frozen
in carbonite. This mini fridges front door
features a 3-D rendering of a frosty Han and
holds 18 canned beverages.
The fridge can switch between cold and
warm modes, but sadly a dreamy 1980s
Harrison Ford doesnt collapse at your feet

Pavelski pounds two third-quarter goals to pace Sharks

By Joe Resnick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Joe Pavelski scored the

tying and go-ahead goals 92 seconds apart in
the third period, defenseman Brent Burns had
two goals and an assist, and the San Jose
Sharks beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-3 on
Tuesday night.
Joe Thornton added a goal and two assists,
and Martin Jones made 33 saves against his
former team to help the second-place Sharks
reduce the Kings lead in the Pacific Division to

eight points. San Jose leads the NHL with 13

road wins (13-6-2).
Tyler Toffoli had two goals for the Kings,
both set up by Tanner Pearson, and Trevor
Lewis also scored. Jonathan Quick stopped 17
shots after making 45 saves at Montreal in his
previous outing, a 3-0 victory.
The Kings made it 3-1 at 17:48 of the second
period. Toffoli made Burns cough up the puck
in the Los Angeles zone and quickly went the
other way in transition with Pearson, who set
up Toffolis team-high 14th goal.
Burns, who came in second in the league with

138 shots on net, started the comeback just 57

seconds later on his first shot against Quick. It
was a screened 60-foot wrist shot from the right
point that was set up by Thornton.
Pavelski got the equalizer with 13:54 left in
the third on a redirection of Burns shot while
Christian Ehrhoff was serving a high-sticking
penalty. The Sharks captain put them ahead for
the first time with 12:22 remaining, converting Thorntons pass from behind the net while
Milan Lucic was off for slashing.
Burns scored his 14th of the season into an
empty net with 1:10 to play.

49ers third-down struggles a

result of errors on early downs
By Chris Biderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco

49ers offense ranks last in both scoring and
yardage.
Those struggles, in part, can be traced back
to the 49ers performance on third down.
Over the past two games, the 49ers converted just 4 of 27 attempts in lopsided losses to Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who will
make his seventh start in Detroit on Sunday
since taking over for
Colin Kaepernick, said
the struggles on third
down are a result of what
happens
on
earlier
downs.
We were in third-and12, third-and-15, and the
percentages of converting those are low, espeBlaine Gabbert cially when youre taking
penalties on second down
to put yourself in third-and-15. It was just
more of us shooting ourselves in the foot
than anything, Gabbert said.
Six of the 49ers 11 penalties in the 24-14
loss Sunday to the Bengals came on offense,
including two in the first quarter that set up
third-and-long situations.
Gabbert was sacked four times Sunday,
after taking a franchise- worst tying nine
sacks the previous week in the loss to the
Browns.
Blaine Gabbert has got to be able to be
protected too. Hes got to have time to make
those throws, coach Jim Tomsula said
Sunday, when asked about his teams 2-for14 performance on third down.
Gabbert said the long-yardage situations
are difficult to convert.

They know what were trying to do on

third-and-15. Were trying to get to the (firstdown) sticks, so thats the coverage that
theyre going to play, Gabbert said.
Theyre going to drop everybody right
there at the marker and make you throw
underneath so they can rally and make a tackle.
For the season, the 49ers rank 30th in the
league, converting 30 percent of their third
downs. Since Gabbert became the starter
Week 9, the offense has converted just 25
percent. The 49ers are 2-4 with Gabbert under
center.
One of Gabberts favorite third-down
options is running back Shaun Draughn,
who entered the starting lineup the same day
Gabbert replaced Kaepernick against the
Falcons on Nov. 8. Draughn is Gabberts second-most targeted option behind receiver
Anquan Boldin.
Draughn suffered a knee injury in the first
half of Sundays game and did not return. He
had an MRI at Stanford University Medical
Center. The 49ers added running back DuJuan
Harris from the Ravens practice squad
Tuesday, waiving Travaris Cadet to make
room on the roster.
Draughns status for Sundays game
against the Lions is unknown. Hes been an
unlikely source of production after San
Francisco lost its top three running backs to
start the season to injuries: Carlos Hyde
(foot), Reggie Bush (knee) and Mike Davis
(hand).
Draughn has 263 yards rushing and 175
receiving as the starting running back over
the past six games.
Davis returned to practice this week after
being placed on short-term injured reserve
following surgery, but he is not eligible to
play until the season finale against the Rams
on Jan. 3.

Murray closing in
on the 1,000-yard
mark for Raiders
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Midway through last season Latavius Murray was sitting on the
Raiders bench, condent in his abilities but
uncertain whether he would get a chance in
Oaklands crowded backeld.
Things sure have changed in the 13
months since then.
With two games remaining in the regular
season, Murray is closing in on the AFC rushing title and needs just
44 yards to become the
rst Raiders running
back since 2010 to reach
the 1,000-yard mark.
Thats a fairly lofty
achievement considering
that Oakland has had
Latavius
sporadic success moving
Murray
the ball on the ground.
Heading into the Christmas Eve game
against San Diego, the Raiders are 25th in
rushing.
It would mean a lot, Murray said Tuesday
when asked about reaching 1,000 yards.
Obviously a good benchmark for me individually, but also just for this offense and a
compliment (to) the way weve been running the ball.
A sixth-round draft pick in 2013, Murray
was slowed by injuries early in his career.
He spent his entire rookie season on injured
reserve then suffered a concussion during a
breakout game against Kansas City last
November.
Murray has stayed healthy this season and
the results have been mostly positive.
Hes fth overall in the NFL with 956
yards and has eight runs of 20 yards or
longer which is tied for fourth.
First-round pick Amari Cooper reached
the 1,000-yard mark for receiving yards last
week. If Murray reaches the milestone for
rushing, it would mark the ninth time in
franchise history and rst since 2005 that
the Raiders have a running back and wide
receiver do it in the same season.
Thats one of the reasons Oakland is optimistic about its future, despite the team
being assured of a 13th consecutive season
without a winning record.

All that stuff means we get good players, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said.
When you hear things like that it means
were heading the right way. Im happy that
Im here and that I get to be a part of it.
Murray had good reason to question if he
would be a part of Oaklands future or present. The 25-year-old fractured his left foot
during training camp in 2013 and underwent
surgery that sidelined him the entire season.
He came back in 2014, but hardly played
on offense for the rst two months of the
season while the Raiders went with the
aging and unproductive duo of Darren
McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew.
Murray got an opportunity against
Kansas City during a nationally televised
game on Nov. 20 when he rushed for 112
yards and two touchdowns on just four carries. He suffered a concussion and did not
play in the second half against the Chiefs.
But showed enough over the nal games to
convince the front ofce that he deserved an
extended look.
When McFadden was not re-signed and
Jones-Drew retired, Murray got his chance.
He hasnt looked back since.
I just think Ive been able to be in there
and be involved and been able to learn that
way as opposed to maybe being on the sidelines, Murray said. Being out there while
the bullets are ying and learning that way,
thats been the difference.
If theres a knock on Oaklands running
game, its in the lack of consistency.
Murray has been limited to 50 yards or fewer
six times this season. The Raiders are 1-5 in
those games.
I denitely think for me individually I
have a lot of room for improvement,
Murray said. A lot of things I want to get
better at, maybe plays that I feel like I left
on the eld. I always believed in my abilities, I always believed if Im on the eld I
can make plays and do good things. Ill
continue to do that.
Note: Because of the short week, coach
Jack Del Rio scrapped plans for a full practice and instead went with a walk-through.
That should help some of the teams veteran
players such as safety Charles Woodson,
who has been nursing a shoulder injury
since Week 1.

Alabama not buying

death of its dynasty
By John Zenor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Reports

surfaced almost immediately after
Alabamas blunder-packed loss to
Mississippi suggesting that the
dynasty was dying.
Then
the
second-ranked
Crimson Tide emerged from a players-only meeting the following
week determined to both ignore
the critics and prove them wrong.
Since then, 10 straight wins have
secured Bama a date in the Cotton
Bowl against No. 3 Michigan
State in the national semifinals on
Dec. 31 and quelled that talk for
now, at least.
The Tides lone loss, to
Mississippi on Sept. 19, followed
unimpressive finishes to back-toback seasons. That Alabama was
on the wane was an easy contention to make despite an uncharacteristic five turnovers and one
long Rebels touchdown on a pass
that deflected off a helmet contributing to the 43-47 defeat.
The clock hasnt struck midnight on the powerhouse program,
even if that game ended about that
time.
Defensive tackle Jarran Reed
thinks the Tide has proved a lot
of people wrong. The reaction to
that lone defeat certainly gave the
players something to rally over,
and Reed and others are still miffed
about it.
Lose one game, thats what
people do, Reed said. They
think the seasons over with. They
think youre going downhill.
They think youre going to fall
off. But we dont listen to any of
that. We keep playing our game.
Weve got each other in here, and
thats all you need.
So far it has been enough.
The talent, after all, is still
there, with Nick Saban bringing
in waves of highly rated prospects
each year. The defense remains
among the nations best, and indefatigable tailback Derrick Henry

Lose one game, thats what people do. They think the

They think youre going to fall off. But we dont listen to
any of that. We keep playing our game. Weve got

Jarran Reed, Alabama defensive tackle

won the Heisman Trophy, after all.

Alabama has won its last 10
games by an average of 21. 7
points, including a 29-15 dispatching of No. 19 Florida in the
Southeastern Conference championship game. The team that turned
it over five times against the
Rebels has committed six
turnovers since then and forced
12.
Its hard to measure the impact
of that team meeting, but it certainly appears to have had a galvanizing effect.
I think everybody elevated the
level of intensity and the standard
(to which) they were holding
themselves accountable for their
play, Saban said. Whether it
came from that meeting, or wherever it came from, all I can say is
that the players responded the
right way to a loss and we started
to make progress as a team.
I was very pleased with the way
these guys responded to every
challenge for the rest of the season.
The program that has won three
national titles since 2009 under
Nick Saban but none since
2012 has had some shaky endof-season showings. That includes
last years 42-35 semifinal loss to
Ohio State, when Cardale Jones
and Ezekiel Elliott abused the
powerhouse defense.
The 2013 season ended with
back-to-back losses to Auburn
thanks largely to the famous KickSix play and Oklahoma in the
Sugar Bowl.
The loss to Ole Miss created
more doubt.
The headline on a column in

USA Today afterward proclaimed:

At Alabama, doubt replaces a
football dynasty.
Before the SEC championship
game, Fox Sports radio host Colin
Cowherd took aim at the league
and Alabama, calling it a oneman offense and noting the Tides
struggles against Arkansas,
Tennessee and Auburn.
If Alabama
was
called
Wisconsin, SEC fans would mock
them, Cowherd said.
Tide linebacker Ryan Anderson
took note of that critique especially, though he cited comments
made on Cowherds show besides
those actually made by the host.
We want to prove everybody
wrong, Anderson said. That
Colin Cowherd dude, saying were
old Big Ten, slow defense, 250
pounds and we cant move. I feel
like thats my biggest motivation
right now, that dude. I feel like he
had no business saying that. I
dont think he ever played football.
Theres only one way to really
prove the critics wrong: Finish
better than Alabama has lately. Its
something the Tide didnt do in
that loss to Ohio State when
Elliott pounded Alabama for 230
yards and the Buckeyes gained 537
all told.
Now, the trick is trying to avoid
a repeat performance.
We still keep that in the back of
our heads, Tide defensive back
Marlon Humphrey said. Whether
we played or not, we know how it
felt walking off that field. We left
so many plays out there on that
field. Were trying to have a different outcome this year.

victory. He also became the first man to win
the opening two slaloms of the season
since Austrias Reinfried Herbst six years
ago.
Madonna is a real classic. So many
greats have won here (Alberto) Tomba,
(Ingemar) Stenmark, Kristoffersen said.
To be here as a winner is unbelievable.
Kristoffersen held a one-second lead over
Hirscher after the opening run, and added to
it on his second trip down the steep
Canalone Miramonti course.
I didnt expect it to be that much,
Kristoffersen said. I was really bumpy in
the second run.
He also edged Hirscher in Val dIsere,
France, nine days ago.
Marco Schwarz of Austria finished third,
1.59 seconds behind.

the senior only runs cross country to stay in

shape for her true passion the track and
field season.
She wasnt too interested in cross country and Im not even sure shes too interested in it now, Wilmurt said. But she knows
she has to go after it and shes done well.
In weighing her selection as the Daily
Journal Girls Cross Country Athlete of the
Year, Crowe as she did in a vast majority
of her races this season absolutely ran
away with the honor.
In the Peninsula Athletic League finals
Nov. 7 at Crystal Springs, Crowe claimed
gold with a time of 18 minutes, 19 seconds
finishing 27 seconds faster than secondplace winner. Not only did Crowes finish
clinch her fourth straight appearance in the
Central Coast Section finals. It also marked
the second best time at the Crystal Springs
course in Menlo-Atherton history.
Crowe improved on the historic time a
week later at the CCS finals at Crystal
Springs, taking second place in the
Division I race with a time of 18:11.7. The
finish punched her ticket as an individual
competitor to the state finals. However, it
was a bittersweet accomplishment, as M-A
fell just shy of earning the programs firstever state berth as a team.
So, Crowe was the only runner to represent M-A at the state finals Nov. 28 at
Fresnos Woodward Park. She closed her
cross-country career with a time of 18:37.2,
taking 37th place in the Division I race. It
was the best finish for a CCS runner, topping Los Altos Lauren Jacobs who won
gold at the CCS meet by over a minute.
Im so happy with the way I finished my
cross-country career," Crowe said. "I basically ran my freshman year and didnt get to
run again until this year. I was just in shock
I did so well. I was disappointed my team
wasnt able to make it to state. But other
that that, Im really happy the way my
career finished.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

the spring, Crowe will define her legacy as
a four-year varsity letter winner in three
sports.

Growing into one of the most dominant

runners in CCS didnt come easy though.
Throughout her senior season, she would
jump out to early leads and build them over
the course of races, often winning by
healthy margins.
This wasnt always her approach.
Previous to this season, Crowe's MO was to
run from behind, a habit she developed as a
freshman when trying to chase down M-A's
top runner, Taylor Fortnam. Crowe never did
surpass the Bears great cross country star
who graduated in 2014 but running
side-by-side with classmate Maddie Worden,
Crowe certainly had a knack for passing
most everybody else.
Every race would be [Worden and I] right
next to each other and right behind
[Fortnam], and my goal every race was to
finish closer to her, Crowe said.
This season was a different story though,
in part because Crowe approached races
with the strategy of getting out front of the
pack from the get-go. But it also had a lot to
do with her running healthier than she has
since her freshman year.
Over the past two years Crowe has battled
an accessory navicular, a hereditary condition in which a person is born with an extra
bone over the arch of ones foot. The condition has caused Crowe quite some pain. In
each her sophomore and junior seasons, she
ran just the final three races of the crosscountry season as she's learned to manage
the pain in her right foot.
The tendons would be so inflamed, she
couldn't even run on it, Wilmurt said. But
she ended up running the big races and was
able to excel because we were able to solve
that puzzle.
It didnt help Crowe insisted on playing
basketball at M-A, which is a big part of her
legacy. Not the performance necessarily, as
she wasnt a key player for last years
defending CCS Division I runner-up girls
basketball team. She played sparingly, and
will likely do the same this year.
But Crowe's sense of legacy serves as
inspiration to keep going on the court. She
looks to earn her fourth varsity letter in the
sport this season. If all goes according to
plan, and she adds a varsity track letter in

"I think I stick with basketball more

because thats my team," Crowe said. "I
love basketball. But Im happy I got to be a
part of (all three of) those teams, make
memories and in all three, go really far."
Basketball was one of Crowes first
loves, along with soccer. She played both
as a child, but soon chased down her fate as
a middle school student when she entered
the Big Bear Run, an annual five-kilometer
fun run sponsored by the M-A Boosters.
While it is open to all ages including to
high school athletes and adults Crowe
was the first female to cross the finish line
as a seventh grader.
And so she decided to follow in her mothers footsteps as a runner. Her mother Olga
was an 800-meter specialist in college at
Cal State Stanislaus. And that has become
Crowes specialty event. Last season, as a
junior, she took gold at the PAL finals in the
800, and also finished first in the 1,600.
"We think she will be a better miler, but
who knows? Wilmurt said. That will be
yet to be seen in track season."
Recently Crowe gave a verbal commitment to Dartmouth College, where she
plans to run both cross country and track.
So, her current basketball season will be her
farewell tour, of sorts, on the court.
This year, Im playing basketball, but
Im also running twice a week to make sure I
maintain my endurance for track, Crowe
said.
Having learned to manage the pain of the
accessory navicular, Crowe has found a
workout regiment to build towards track
season that works for her. And if she has her
way, her cross-country accolades will simply be the first chapter of a banner senior
year as a runner.

Hawkeyes expect to be healthy for Rose Bowl

By Luke Meredith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IOWA CITY, Iowa One of the remarkable aspects of Iowas run this season is that
the Hawkeyes kept rolling even when key
players kept getting hurt.
Iowa (12-1) should head into the Rose
Bowl about as healthy as its been all season, with a full complement of players
including senior running back Jordan
Canzeri for the Jan. 1 game against
Stanford (11-2).
Canzeri suffered what appeared to be a
serious ankle injury in the first half of a 1613 loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten
championship game on Dec 5. But he said
Tuesday that while hes not quite 100 percent, hes been practicing full go for the

past few days and that he expects to play

against the Cardinal.
My ankle feels great. Im definitely ready
to go, Canzeri said. I have a lot of work to
put in before then, but Ill be ready.
Coach Kirk Ferentz said that hes been
encouraged by what hes seen out of
Canzeri in the past few weeks.
The other members of this beat-up team
are on the mend, too, thanks to the extended break.
While quarterback C.J. Beathard never
missed a game, he played much of the season with hip and groin injuries that limited
his scrambling ability. Backup Tyler
Wiegers took the first-team snaps at the
start of bowl practice, but Beathard is back
working with the first unit as the focus has
shifted to game-planning for the Cardinal.

Im not 100 percent healthy, and a big

part of this is, weve had a few weeks,
Beathard said. Especially that first week
there was almost like a rest week for me, trying to get me healthy.
The rest wasnt just physical for the
Hawkeyes, even though they like the
Spartans took a pounding in the Big Ten
title game.
Ferentz wanted his players to get a mental
break after a grueling season that included
seven games decided by nine points or less.
So, the coaching staff took it easy on the
Hawkeyes at the outset of bowl preparations
so they could arrive in Los Angeles as fresh
as possible.
Its an exercise. It takes something out
of you. So I thought it was really important
for the guys to have two weeks just to get

Leake signs $80M

deal with Cardinals
By R.B. Fallstrom
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS Minutes after his contract

with the St. Louis Cardinals was announced,
Mike Leake was looking ahead to rivalry
games against the Chicago Cubs.
Honestly, he said Tuesday, I wouldnt
mind taking them down.
Leake and the Cardinals agreed to an $80
million, ve-year contract, a move the
Cardinals hopes boosts their chances to win
a fourth straight NL Central title.
When we make decisions, it is about performance, general manager John Mozeliak
said. We heard nothing
but positives.
Leake described the
Cardinals as a dynasty.
Before last season, St.
Louis had been to the NL
Championship Series or
deeper four consecutive
years.
When the offseason is
Mike Leake
unfolding,
different
options
pop
up,
Mozeliak said. When this did, we decided it
made a lot of sense. I do think it makes the
Cardinals stronger.
Leake gets $12 million next year, $15
million in 2017, $17 million in 2018, $16
million in 2019 and $15 million in 2020.
The deal includes an $18 million mutual
option for 2021 with a $5 million buyout.
Leake also receives a full no-trade provision.
During his news conference, Leake raised
a No. 8 jersey, the number he wore at
Arizona State.
I was looking for some place to call
home, Leake said. They were willing to
work with us and we were willing to work
with them.
Because Leake was traded during last season, the Cardinals will not have to forfeit a
compensatory draft pick. Theyve traded a
number of young pitching prospects the
past few seasons, including Shelby Miller,
Tyrell Jenkins and Rob Kaminsky.
A 28-year-old right-hander, Leake is 6452 with a 3.88 ERA in six big league seasons. He was 11-10 with a 3.70 ERA for
Cincinnati and San Francisco last season,
totaling 30 starts and 190 innings.
Ace Adam Wainwright, who returned late
in the season from a torn left Achilles tendon, heads a rotation that includes Carlos
Martinez, who was sidelined in September
by a shoulder injury but is anticipated to be
ready for spring training. Jaime Garcia and
Michael Wacha also are expected to start,

and lefties Marco Gonzales, Tyler Lyons and

Tim Cooney could earn rotation spots.
I think we can be the best, Leake said.
If they name me the No. 5 guy, thats ne
with me.
St. Louis failed in efforts earlier this offseason to retain outelder Jason Heyward
and add pitcher David Price.
Mozeliak said talks with Leake began
about a week-and-a-half ago. Leake had put a
priority on Arizona, where he lives, but the
Diamondbacks signed Zack Greinke and
acquired Shelby Miller from Atlanta.
Once Arizona got out of the picture I was
open to whatever team I felt t my needs the
best, Leake said. Coming here has turned
into my new No. 1.
Leake is durable, ranking fth in innings
in the National League during his six seasons. He was second in the NL in pitches
thrown per inning, at 14.3, always remembering advice from his father when he was
six or seven to attack the hitters.
Staying in the NL was appealing also
because hes a career .212 hitter with six
homers.
I will say it was something we thought
was attractive, Mozeliak said. Most of our
pitchers are not very comfortable hitting.
Leakes trade last July was part of a dismantling of much of the Reds core, including third baseman Todd Frazier and pitcher
Johnny Cueto, and they have attempted to
trade closer Aroldis Chapman.
We did have a locker room full of talented players and we were never able to piece it
together in the right way, Leake said.
Seasons like that are never fun.

AP source: De Aza, Mets

agree to $5.75M, 1-year deal
NEW YORK A person familiar with the
negotiations says outelder Alejandro De
Aza and the New York Mets have agreed to a
$5.75 million, one-year contract, pending
a physical.
The person spoke Tuesday on condition
of anonymity because the agreement had
not been announced. The deal contains an
additional $1.25 million in performance
bonuses.
The 31-year-old De Aza bats left-handed
and could platoon in center eld with righthanded-hitting Juan Lagares.
De Aza batted .262 this year with seven
homers all off right-handers and 35
RBIs in 365 plate appearances for
Baltimore, Boston and San Francisco.
New York has been seeking an outelder
in place of Yoenis Cespedes, who became a
free agent after helping the Mets reach the
World Series for the rst time since 2000.

back away from it, Ferentz said. You

remove yourself from it. Relax, unwind and
take care of some of the other things in your
life.
Although Iowas performance in its loss
to the Spartans did wonders for its national
reputation, the Hawkeyes know that a win
over Stanford would help legitimize its
comeback season in the eyes of many others.
Iowa will be an underdog against the
Cardinal. But the Hawkeyes hope to pull out
one more win for a team that overcame the
odds nearly all year long.
We always had a chip on our shoulder the
whole season, and its no different now,
wide receiver Tevaun Smith said. Well
always be the underdog, and thats what we
like. We like proving people wrong.

POY
Continued from page 11
the Heisman winner and AP player
of the year went to different players.
McCaffrey is the first Stanford
player to win the award since it
was first handed out in 1998 and
first running back to win it since
one of his football heroes,
Southern Californias Reggie
Bush, did it in 2005.
This award is a testament to all
the efforts and support of my teammates, coaches, staff and the
entire Stanford football program,
McCaffrey said in a statement to
the AP on Tuesday.
The 200-pound sophomore was
a revelation this season and, like
Bush, displayed an ability to dominate games in various ways.
He ran for 1,847 yards (secondmost in the nation behind Henry)
and eight touchdowns, caught a
team-best 41 passes for 540 yards
and four scores and averaged 28.9
yards per kickoff return with
another score. He also threw two
touchdown passes.
What is Christian McCaffrey?
The answer is football player,
Stanford coach David Shaw said in
a recent interview. Its not running back. Its not receiver. Its
not returner. Its football player.
What do you need for him to do?
Add it all up and McCaffrey set
the NCAA record for all-purpose
yards with 3, 496 this season,
breaking the mark of 3,250 set by
Oklahoma States Barry Sanders in

KERR
Continued from page 11
Kerr said hell take a road trip to
Dallas and Houston on Dec. 30 and
31 to test how he can handle the
travel, and said he was confident
he will be able to return at some
point this season.
Im confident Ill be back on
the bench, Kerr said. I wouldnt
be here talking to you if I didnt. I
wouldnt have been here the last
nine days or whatever its been.
Things are moving in the right
direction.
Kerr has been dealing with

1988. McCaffrey played two more

games than Sanders though he had
fewer total touches when he passed
the record.
You can say he had the best year
in the history of college football, Shaw said.
McCaffrey, who is the son of
former Stanford and NFL receiver
Ed McCaffrey, can also kick and
punt though he admits without
much consistency.
(In high school) I had one 60
yard punt and I had one negative3-yard punt, he said.
Shaw said he is confident
McCaffrey could hold his own on
defense if necessary.
One day we needed some guys
to flip over and be on the scout
team, Shaw said. And he flipped
over and jumped over at corner.
And the back pedal was natural.
The plant and dive was natural. The
flipping the hips to run deep was
natural. He could be phenomenal
at that position, too.
McCaffrey led the Cardinal (112) to a Pac-12 championship and
their third Rose Bowl appearance
in the last four year. Stanford will
play Iowa on Jan. 1 in Pasadena,
California.
His record-breaking season will
make him one of the favorites to
win the Heisman heading into the
2016 season. It will be a high
standard to match, but McCaffrey
said he has plenty left to prove.
Im not satisfied at all with the
season, my personal season, he
said. All the great players you
ask always expect greatness.
Theres definitely a lot of work to
be done. A lot of room for
improvement.
headaches after two back surgeries
the first procedure causing him
to leak spinal fluid that followed Golden States first championship in 40 years. He took a
leave of absence the first week of
training camp and watched the
Warriors record 24-0 start behind
the scenes.
Golden State (26-1) is off to the
best start in NBA history under
Walton, but the team still wants
Kerr back whenever he can return.
Having coach kind of test it
out, he looks good, looks energized, star guard Stephen Curry
said. I dont really know how he
feels inside, but hes got his presence and his voice.

A holiday roast doesnt need to be beef or bird. Try salmon!

By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Who says a holiday roast has to be red

meat or poultry? Take a page from my French
husbands familys book of traditions and
serve salmon!
I like to buy one single large fillet if possible, then serve it on the largest platter I
can find. It makes for a pretty dramatic and
colorful holiday meal centerpiece. Plus,
roasted salmon is incredibly easy, quick
(taking minutes, not hours like many
roasts), and is versatile. Since we try to eat
fatty fish twice a week in our home, this
holiday favorite helps get us there, yearround.
My favorite roasted salmon strategy
couldnt be easier. Just brush the fillet with
seasoned olive oil (which can be as simple
as salt, pepper and oil), roast it quickly at
high heat, then top it with a quick vinaigrette-style sauce. Mix together almost any
combination of herbs, spices and aromatics
with some acid (such as lemon juice or red
wine vinegar) and oil, then spoon it over the
just-roasted, piping hot fish. Delicious!
The hardest part about this dish? Not overcooking it! My advice is to take it out a couple minutes before you think it is done. It
will be perfect. Or you also could use an
instant thermometer and cook it to 135 F.

ROASTED SALMON WITH

LEMONS, PRUNES, AND OLIVES
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
For the salmon:
2-pound wild salmon or steelhead trout fillet
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 lemons, thinly sliced, seeds removed
For the topping:
3/4 cup prunes, pitted and halved
3/4 cup briny, green olives, pitted, lightly
chopped or left whole, as desired
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Heat the oven to 450 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment.
Set the salmon on the prepared baking
sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, lemon juice and a hefty pinch each of
salt and pepper. Spread the seasoned oil over
the fish, then arrange the lemon slices over
it. Bake until cooked through, but the flesh
is still a little translucent, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, set the prunes in a medium
bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over
them and set aside to soften for several minutes.
In a second medium bowl, mix together the
olives, capers, parsley, dill, lemon juice and
zest, and the olive oil. Drain the prunes,
then add those. Mix well, then season with
salt and pepper. As soon as the salmon
comes out of the oven, carefully transfer it to
a serving platter and spoon the prune mixture over it.

Redeeming the salad as

a part of a holiday meal
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jazz up any cheese platter with a simple sweet-and-sour

kielbasa relish.

No dull cheese platters here.

Time to add kielbasa relish
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Theres nothing wrong with a standard issue platter of

delicious cheeses set out as part of a holiday party spread. In
fact, we often find ourselves hovering around it. After all,
eating cheese is far more enjoyable than small talk with
strangers.
But wouldnt it be great if that same cheese platter was
jazzed up a little? Because while cheese is great, cheese and
meat is even better. And while you could just add some sliced
prosciutto to the platter, why not go over the top for the
holidays? Why not make this simple sweet-and-sour kielbasa relish?
This recipe boasts big sweet-savory-sour flavors that are
the perfect complement to cheese. It also comes together
quickly and easily and can be made up to five days ahead. If
refrigerated, warm briefly on the stove or in the microwave.

SWEET-AND-SOUR KIELBASA RELISH

Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 10
12-ounce kielbasa, finely diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, diced
14 1/2-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
In a large, deep skillet over medium, cook the kielbasa,
stirring often, until caramelized and well browned, 6 to 7
minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 5
minutes. Add the tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar and red
pepper flakes. Continue to cook, maintaining a simmer
until thick and jammy, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper, then allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.

Salad: The least loved side of holiday

dinners. But it doesnt have to be.
The problem with most of the salads
served at holiday meals is they tend to
lack inspiration and usually are made
from lackluster ingredients. Fair
enough. Our focus usually is on the
roast and heartier and way more
interesting sides, like scalloped
potatoes and gravies and baked thisand-thats.
But a holiday dinner salad not only
can be delicious, it also can be a bright
and light counterpoint to the many
heavier options on the table. The trick
is to draw on seasonally appropriate
ingredients that also are robust enough
to stand up to the rest of the meal. In
this case, we went with roasted beats
and lightly charred citrus segments.
Combined with nicely dressed greens,
its a delicious redemption of the salad.

ROASTED BEET
AND CITRUS SALAD
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
(30 minutes active)
Servings: 6
4 medium beets (preferably multiple
colors)
2 cups grapefruit and orange segments

A holiday dinner salad not only can be delicious, it also can be a bright and light
counterpoint to the many heavier options on the table
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
5 ounces baby kale or arugula
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
1/4 cup toasted flake coconut
(preferably unsweetened)
Heat the oven to 350 F.
Wrap each beet in foil and set on a
rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 50 to
60 minutes, or until tender when
pierced with a paring knife. Set aside
to cool for 15 minutes.
While the beets cool, increase the

oven to broil. Arrange the citrus segments in a single layer on a rimmed

baking sheet, then sprinkle with the
brown sugar. Broil for 3 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
In a large bowl, whisk together the
oil, vinegar and mustard. Season with
salt and pepper. Toss the greens in the
dressing, then arrange on a serving
platter.
Carefully peel the roasted beets,
then slice into small wedges. Arrange
the roasted beets and the broiled citrus
wedges over the greens. Sprinkle with
the pecans and toasted coconut.

SCHOOL

ents their child would be sent next year
to a different middle school than the
one located at the end of their block.
Fortunately for those who fell into a
temporary tizzy during the holiday
break, a separate announcement came
from school officials Tuesday, Dec.
22, declaring the district had made a
mistake and the initial attendance
notifications could be disregarded.
District
spokeswoman Amber
Farinha attributed the mistake to a new
computer system which accidentally
assigned fifth-graders preparing to
enter middle school next year to the
wrong campus.
She said traditionally officials have
manually put the correct school attendance information into the districts
computers, and will go back to the old
method until a more reliable system
can be established.
We tried a new system, and obviously it didnt happen as we had
hoped, she said.
Roughly 1,300 notices were sent to
families, Farinha said, but the district
is unsure of how many of those notices
were wrong, so all should be disregarded until new information can be distributed.
She said the effort to manually enter
the correct information into the com-

San Francisco.
More than 650 families received the
charitable packages at the event sponsored by the South San Francisco
Police and Fire departments, the
YMCA and Second Harvest Food Bank
and others.
South San Francisco resident Kristen
Snow expressed her deep appreciation
for the opportunity to receive additional food and gifts to make it
through the holiday season.
Im very grateful, she said, as one
of the event volunteers wheeled a grocery cart hauling the goods through
the rain to load into her truck.
Snow said she has been underemployed since she lost her job as a bartender in May, and is relying on assistance to afford the holidays for the first
time in her life.
Ive never been in a situation where
I needed help, she said. It is quite
amazing.
She said the turkey she received from
the event would be the first that she
has ever prepared for the holidays.
The charity Snow received compelled her to consider volunteering

puter system will take a considerable

amount of time, so families should
expect their new, accurate notice after
the holiday break.
Ed Coady, president of the district
Board of Trustees, tried to calm the
frazzled nerves of parents who were
unsettled by the incorrect notices.
Hopefully this is not ruining anyones holiday. It created a little confusion and a little anxiety, he said. It
was a typo basically.
Coady added the incorrect letter
should not be interpreted as a misstep
in an effort of officials to redistribute
students throughout the district, and
away from their neighborhood
schools.
Officials have worked to manage
enrollment growth in certain areas of
the district, as school campus capacity
is limited and some neighborhoods do
not have a local school to attend.
Coady said officials will still need to
ensure the limited facility space is used
as efficiently as possible, but the
incorrect notices are not part of that
effort.
We are all working diligently to
address the overcrowding in all of our
school, but this was not related to
that, he said.
Farinha confirmed officials did not
attempt to redistribute its students
without any advance notice.
We certainly did not change our
boundaries overnight, she said.
School officials engaged in an

aggressive and thorough outreach

effort Tuesday through phone calls,
emails and social media, in an attempt
to clarify the misinformation that had
been decimated earlier.
You have received a sixth-grade
assignment letter that may be incorrect. We are aware of the problem and
will be issuing new letters when we
return from winter break in January,
said the message sent to families.
Please disregard the letter you are
receiving this week. We sincerely
apologize for any inconvenience this
may have caused your family.
Coady said he received calls from
some parents who were upset or confounded by the original notice.
I know there was some confusion,
he said.
In some instances, Coady said families who lived on the same block of
Abbott Middle School received letters
telling them their student would be
attending Bowditch Middle School
next year, which is roughly 7 miles
away.
Farinha apologized for any undue
stress caused by the incorrect notices
to families during the holiday break.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience, she said. We will send our correct letters in January.
She said officials will also ensure the
same mistake will not happen in the
future.
We will not use that system again,
she said.

during the holiday season as well, she

said.
Its really inspiring, she said. It
makes me feel good.
Local police officers and firefighters
loaded a steady stream of paper bags
filled with food and gifts into shopping carts at the former Ford auto dealership on the corner of Miller Avenue
and Airport Boulevard, which were
handed off to volunteers who then
delivered the goods to those in need.
Gerry Kohlmann, chief of the South
San Francisco Fire Department,
expressed appreciation in an email for
the collaboration which made the
event possible.
The monumental effort comes
together with the assistance of the
YMCA that identifies families in need
of this wonderful community support,
he said.
The food and gifts distributed at the
event were donated by local community organizations, or purchased with
proceeds raised through fundraisers
such as spaghetti feeds hosted by the
Fire Department.
Lucia Obregon, program and community outreach coordinator of the
YMCA, said the event can be an effective way of establishing a connection
between residents and local officials.
It is important for the community

to know their leaders care, she said.

The escalating cost of living locally
has caused more families to rely on
additional assistance this holiday season, said Obregon.
San Mateo County is a hard county
to live in, she said.
Obregon said many of the people
who received the food and gifts are
those who frequently rely on the
YMCA for assistance, and the distribution event can be a way to witness the
gains some of the recipients have
made.
She said she has seen some of those
who rely on the charity take steps from
living in homeless shelters, to transitional housing situations to their own
home where they will cook the food
they receive at the event.
Its nice to see them get their
turkeys and toys, Obregon said.
Roughly 1, 700 people accepted
food, presents or additional assistance
at the event.
Joie Garrett, a member of the citys
Community Emergency Response
Team, expressed admiration for the
way local residents could benefit from
the holiday assistance program.
This is so vital to embrace the community, and help lighten the load, she
said. Its nice to be able to give
back.
