Grant takes aim at countys teacher shortage

Money available for San Mateo County school workers wishing to start career in classroom
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
School workers interested in transitioning to the classroom may seek financial

assistance for getting their teaching credential under a new San Mateo County grant
program.
The California Commission on Teacher
Credentialing launched a $20 million fund-
ing initiative in September thats designed

to help 1,000 classified school workers
throughout the state become certified educators.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education recently received $200,000 of
that money to be divided across 50 grants to
help pay for a credential through San
Francisco State University, with additional
funds available in coming years.
Joe Ross, San Mateo County Board of

Education president, said he is hopeful the
initiative will partially relieve the local
teaching crunch by luring classified workers such as instructional assistants, secretaries, food service workers and bus drivers
to the classroom.
This program is a really creative way to
solve the problem by using the resources at
hand, he said.
Sue Wiesner, the countys associate superintendent of Human Resources, echoed a

similar sentiment in an email.
This funding from the California
Commission on Teacher Credentialing is
invaluable as we work to address the teacher
shortage in San Mateo County, she said.

Scaling start-up success

YourMechanic CEO Anthony Rodio looks to drive growth in the auto services industry
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Anthony Rodio may have finally found

the perfect company to lead. The
Hillsborough resident has held leadership
roles at Amazon, Procter & Gamble,
StubHub and the Home Depot. He has managed operations and advised several other
start-ups leveraging technology to deliver
better services. He has even served as CEO
of Redbeacon, a San Mateo-based start-up
connecting homeowners with service
providers, which was acquired by Home
Depot just months after he took the reins.
Now he is at the helm of YourMechanic,
an online marketplace that connects drivers
with local mechanics who provide auto
repair and maintenance services at almost
any location. The 50-person Mountain
View-based company welcomed Rodio as
president and CEO earlier this month in a
match that seems well suited for both parties.
The last time I did the CEO thing I sold
the company relatively quickly, he said.
[This time], I want to build the business
longer. [YourMechanic] has made enough
progress where I could take it to the next
level.
For Rodio, the opportunity to build on
YourMechanics growth is one of the most
exciting aspects of his new role. Since it
was founded in 2012, the company has
developed relationships with mechanics in
over 700 cities in 31 states and works with
tens of thousands of monthly customers,
according to the company website.
Auto repair is a huge market in the U.S.,
he said. For so many, its a painful experience, and people feel like they are getting
ripped off. I felt the way that YourMechanic
was meeting this need was a better mousetrap.
Others, including key investors, have
noticed this growth as

well.
In
March,
YourMechanic raised $24
million, bringing its
total financing to $32
million and propelling it
into a building and scaling phase.
The company initially
Anthony Rodio gained recognition when
it won TechCrunch
Disrupt S.F. in 2012 for creating a website
and application allowing drivers to compare
pricing for car services against industry
standards and other local shops before they
pay. Once customers are connected with a
mechanic, they can set up convenient
appointment times and locations at home or
work, so repairs and services can be done
without the hassle of coordinating a trip to
a shop.
Whether a company is pinpointing a
unique solution for an unmet consumer need
has been Rodios litmus test for the companies at which hes chosen to work. But figuring out exactly what role his personality
was best suited for was another story. Rodio
began his career in banking and transitioned into corporate finance after earning a
masters degree in business administration.
He was working in finance at Procter &
Gamble when he realized finance and support roles didnt excite him.
I always liked making the decisions, he
said. I found Ive always been the guy who
puts the team together.
Though Rodio was able to move into
brand management at Procter & Gamble,
one of his biggest learning experiences
came at a much smaller company. He joined
Amazon in 1999, and it wasnt long before
he was invited to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos
home on Sunday mornings for strategy
meetings.
It was pretty shocking. P&G was 100-

plus years on process, we went to classes on

how to send an email or talk to ad agency. At
Amazon, whoever was loudest and made the
best argument carried the day. It freaked me
out at first, but then I loved it, he said.
Rodios stint at Amazon would later
inspire him to pursue work at small companies focusing on technological solutions.
He looks forward to the complex challenge
that awaits him at YourMechanic, where the
solutions dont just lie in the technology.
[With start-ups], the focus used to be
about managing technology. Now, its technology plus organization excellence, he
said. Shipping a toaster is easier than getting a mechanic to show up on time.
Though hes only spent weeks as CEO,
Rodio has decided his focus in the coming
months will be operational consistency.
Like every start-up, we nail it some of
the time. For me, its really going to be
about having a fantastic experience every
single time, he said.
He is also looking to explore opportunities with other businesses to see if companies with traveling sales representatives or
in need of fleet car inspections might benefit from leveraging YourMechanics team of
experts. Between his work at YourMechanic
and volunteering with his childrens activities and sports teams, Rodio doesnt have as
much time for his road bike, which he regularly takes from Hillsborough to the coast.
Hes turning that into a personal goal for
the new year.
I want to figure how to stay in shape, he
said. But I would sacrifice my fitness for
year or two to grow this company.

Remote Nevada quakes could have been a disaster

By Scott Sonner
RENO, Nev. A trio of significant earthquakes that struck a

remote part of western Nevada
early Wednesday were big enough
to cause as much as $1 billion in
damage if they had been centered
beneath a big city, a leading expert
said Wednesday.
The first of two magnitude-5.7
quakes that began shortly after
midnight and a third that registered
5.5 resulted in no injuries or
reports of significant damage. The
epicenter was east of the Sierra
range and the Nevada-California
line near rural Hawthorne about
100 miles southeast of Lake Tahoe

and 90 miles south of Reno.
Thankfully, its not underneath
a big city because a sequence of
5.7s could certainly do a lot of
damage, said Graham Kent, director of the University of Nevadas
Seismological Laboratory.
If you put this underneath Reno,
we are probably looking at a $1
billion event, probably with some
fatalities and many casualties, he
told the Associated Press. Its
much better to be beneath a ranch
20 miles outside of Hawthorne.
In addition to Reno and Carson
City, Wednesdays biggest temblor was felt in Las Vegas and more
than 200 miles away in San
Francisco, according to the universitys Seismological Lab in

Reno.
The first magnitude-5.7 event
struck at 12:18 a.m., followed by
another 5.7 four minutes later 18
miles southwest of Hawthorne. A
magnitude-5.5 quake hit the same
area at 1:13 a.m., the U.S.
Geological Survey said.
The biggest quakes were followed by a series of smaller aftershocks, including two in the magnitude-4 range and at least a dozen
larger than magnitude 3.
The Mineral County sheriffs
office in Hawthorne said staffers
felt the quakes, but they had no
reports of injury or damage.

Actress Debbie Reynolds has died at 84

By Lynn Elber
LOS ANGELES Actress Debbie

Reynolds, the star of the 1952 classic movie Singin in the Rain has
died one day after the death of her
daughter, actress-writer Carrie
Fisher. Reynolds was 84.
Her son, Todd Fisher, said
Reynolds died Wednesday.
Shes now with Carrie and were
all heartbroken, Fisher said from
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where
his mother was taken by ambulance
earlier Wednesday.
He said the stress of his sisters
death on Tuesday was too much
for Reynolds. Carrie Fisher, who
was 60, had been hospitalized since
Friday. She said, I want to be with
Carrie, her son said. And then
she was gone.
Reynolds enjoyed the very
heights of show business success
and endured the depths of personal
tragedy and betrayal. She lost one
husband to Elizabeth Taylor and
two other husbands plundered her
for millions. Fisher, who found
lasting fame as Princess Leia in
Star Wars and struggled for much
of her life with drug addiction and
mental health problems, died after
falling ill on a plane and being hospitalized.
Reynolds was a superstar early in
life. After two minor roles at Warner
Bros. and three supporting roles at
MGM, studio boss Louis B. Mayer
cast her in Singin in the Rain,

Gene Kelly was hard on me, but I

more than held her own in the
movie, said in a 1999 Associated
Press interview. I had to learn
everything in three to six months.
Donald OConnor had been dancing

Gene Kelly since he was 2 years

daughter also appeared.
After her transition from starlet

The Fishers also had a son, Todd,
named for Eddies close friend and
Taylors husband, showman Mike
Todd.
During this period, Reynolds had
a No. 1 hit on the pop charts in
1957 with Tammy, the Oscarnominated song from her film
Tammy and the Bachelor. But the
Cinderella story ended after Mike
Todd died in a 1958 airplane crash.
Fisher consoled the widow and
soon announced he was leaving his
wife and two children to marry
Taylor.
The celebrity world seemed to
lose its mind. Taylor was assailed as
a husband stealer, Fisher as a deserter of his family. Reynolds won
sympathy as the innocent victim, a
role emphasized when she appeared
before news cameras with diaper
pins on her blouse. A cover headline in Photoplay magazine in late
1958 blared: Smiling through her
tears, Debbie says: Im still very
much in love with Eddie.
Fishers singing career never
recovered, but Taylor, who left him
for Richard Burton in 1962,
remained a top star. And Reynolds
film career flourished. She starred
with Glenn Ford in The Gazebo,
Tony Curtis in The Rat Race, Fred
Astaire in The Pleasure of His
Company, Andy Griffith in The
Second Time Around, with the allstar cast in How the West Was
Won and Ricardo Montalban in

Pressures on for Trump

to make diplomats safer
By Vivian Salama
WASHINGTON Donald Trump hammered rival Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign for failing to prevent the
attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,
Libya, when she was secretary of state.
Soon hell be the one responsible for protecting Americas diplomats, but hes
offered little insight into how hell do that.
After the 2012 Benghazi attack, Congress
boosted spending on security to protect the
tens of thousands of Americans and foreign
staff that make up the U.S. diplomatic service. Security experts and career diplomats
say there have been improvements, but that
significant shortfalls remain.
Last weeks assassination of Russias
ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, was a
chilling reminder that diplomats are
increasingly exposed to threats, even in
countries that are typically not regarded as

hardship posts. The assassin shouted,
Dont forget Aleppo, apparently referring
to Russias military engagement in Syria.
Its not clear whether having a brashly
outspoken figure like Trump in the White
House will compound diplomatic security
challenges. The foreign policy of Trump and
his pick for secretary of state, Rex
Tillerson, remains somewhat of an enigma.
The Trump transition team didnt respond
to questions about how his administration
will address diplomatic security.
Keeping diplomats safe is a costly business. In the last budget year, Congress
approved $3.39 billion for the Diplomatic
Security Bureaus functions around the
world. That accounts for about 7 percent of
the State Departments overall budget.
Diplomatic security has also become
highly contentious since the killings of
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three
other Americans at Benghazi.

John Kerry tears into Israel over settlements
S t a t e
De p a r t m e n t ,
Kerry outlined
his vision for
M i d e a s t
peace. While
his
speech
included criticism
of
Pal es t i n i an
Benjamin
violence and
Netanyahu
i n ci t emen t ,
his strongest words were aimed
at Israel, and its policy of settling its citizens in occupied
territories claimed by the
Palestinians. He said the continued settlement growth is
threatening the possibility of a
two-state solution,
which
Netanyahu has endorsed.
The settler agenda is defining
the future of Israel. And their
stated purpose is clear: They
believe in one state, Kerry
said.
He also defended Obamas
move last week to allow the
U.N. Security Council to declare
Israeli settlements illegal, the

spark that set off a nearly weeklong diplomatic spat between
Israel and its most important
ally.
I must express my deep disappointment with the speech
today of John Kerry, a speech
that was almost as unbalanced as
the anti-Israel resolution past at
the U.N. last week, Netanyahu
said.
He accused Kerry of paying
lip service to decades of
Palestinian violence against
Israelis, while spending most
of his speech blaming Israel for
the lack of peace.
He repeated his position that
Israel is ready to pursue peace
through direct negotiations
with
the
Palestinians.
Netanyahu, whose government
is dominated by West Bank settler supporters who oppose
Palestinian independence, says
international dictates in favor
of the Palestinians undermine
the negotiating process.
that a French-hosted summit next

month could lead to an international framework that the U.N. Security
Council might then codify with
Obamas assent, boxing Israel in.
Yet Kerry seemed to rule out the
possibility Obama would take more
parting shots, such as promoting
that type of U.N. resolution or recognizing Palestinian statehood.
The diplomatic fracas erupted last
week when the U.S., in a departure
from past policy, decided to
abstain rather than veto a U.N.
Security Council resolution calling
Israeli settlements in the West

Bank and east Jerusalem a violation of international law. Israel
was incensed, and on Wednesday,
Netanyahu claimed Israel has
absolute, indispensable evidence
the U.S. actually spearheaded the
resolution.
Netanyahu offered what he called
proof of U.S. collusion: a document, leaked to an Egyptian newspaper, that purports to be a
Palestinian account of a December
meeting between top U.S. and
Palestinian officials. But White
House spokesman Ned Price called

it a total fabrication and added:
This meeting never occurred.
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas responded to the speech by
reaffirming that hes ready to
resume peace talks if Israel halts
settlement construction.
Kerry, unveiling a six-part outline of what a future peace deal
could look like, deviated from the
traditional U.S. message that foreign powers shouldnt impose a
solution. His outline tracked closely with principles long assumed to
be part of an eventual deal, and

Kerry insisted he was merely
describing whats emerged as
points of general agreement.
Though Kerry faulted Palestinian
leaders for insufficiently condemning violence and terrorism against
Israelis, most of his speech focused
on Israel. He said the two-state
solution, the basis for all serious
peace talks for years, was now in
serious jeopardy, and called
Netanyahus government the
most right-wing in Israels history.
He invoked the widespread concern that the growing Arab population in Israel and the Palestinian
territories will eventually make
Jews a minority in Israel, creating
a demographic crisis for Israel
unless
theres
a
separate
Palestinian state.
The settler agenda is defining
the future of Israel. And their stated
purpose is clear: They believe in
one state, Kerry said.
The U.S, the Palestinians and
most of the world oppose Israeli
settlement construction in the
West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in 1967
and claimed by the Palestinians for
an independent state. But Israels
government argues previous construction freezes failed to advance a
peace deal and that the future of the
settlements now home to
600,000 Israelis must be
resolved in direct talks between
Israelis and Palestinians.
While Israels Arab population
has citizenship rights, the roughly
2.5 million Palestinians living in
the occupied West Bank do not.
Israel has annexed east Jerusalem,
where Palestinians have residency
rights but few have citizenship, in
a move not internationally recognized.
Kerry said a future deal would
have to ensure secure borders for
Israel and a Palestinian state
formed in territories Israel captured
in the 1967 Mideast war, with
mutually agreed, equivalent
swaps. He said both countries
must fully recognize each other,
ensure access to religious sites and
relinquish all other existing
claims. Kerry also called for assistance to help Palestinian refugees.
Yet he offered fewer details about
how to get to such a deal, given the
failure of so many previous
attempts, including his own ninemonth effort that collapsed in
2014. He urged Israelis and
Palestinians to take realistic steps
on the ground now to begin separating themselves into two states.
Kerry reiterated that the Obama
administrations commitment to
Israel was as strong as that of previous presidents, but he also noted
that previous U.S. administrations
had also abstained on certain resolutions critical of Israel.

WASHINGTON Secretary of
State John Kerry tore into Israel on
Wednesday for settlement-building, accusing Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu of dragging
Israel away from democracy and
forcefully rejecting the notion that
America had abandoned Israel with
a controversial U.N. vote.
Netanyahu accused the Obama
administration of a biased bid to
blame Israel for failure to reach a
peace deal.
In a farewell speech, Kerry laid
out a two-state vision for peace
that he wont be in office to implement, but that the U.S. hoped
might be heeded even after
President Barack Obamas term
ends. He defended Obamas move
last week to allow the U.N.
Security Council to declare Israeli
settlements illegal, the spark that
set off an extraordinary and deepening diplomatic spat between the
U.S. and its closest Mideast ally.
If the choice is one state, Israel
can either be Jewish or democratic,
it cannot be both, and it wont ever
really be at peace, Kerry said in a
speech that ran more than an hour,
a comprehensive airing of grievances that have built up in the
Obama administration over eight
years but were rarely, until this
month, discussed publicly.
Netanyahu pushed back in a
hastily arranged televised statement in which he suggested he was
done with the Obama administration and ready to deal with
President-elect Donald Trump, who
has sided squarely with Israel. The
Israeli leader faulted Kerry for
obsessing over settlements while
paying mere lip service to
Palestinian attacks and incitement
of violence.
Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace
by foreign leaders, Netanyahu
said from Jerusalem.
The dueling recriminations
marked a low point for U.S.-Israel
relations, and a bitter end to eight
years of frustrated ties between
Obama and Netanyahu, who quarreled repeatedly over settlements,
the peace process and Obamas
nuclear deal with Iran.
Trump, who has assured Israel it
merely needs to hang on until he
takes over, told reporters that
Kerrys speech spoke for itself. It
was unclear whether Israel came up
in a phone call Obama, while vacationing in Hawaii, placed to Trump
on Wednesday morning.

days of the administration, might
have.

Members of Popular Mobilization Forces fire toward Islamic State militant positions west of
Mosul, Iraq.
Iraqi forces in Mosul

reinforced, new push
against militants soon
By Hamza Hendawi
MOSUL, Iraq Iraqi forces stalled for

weeks on the edges of Mosul have been bolstered by reinforcements and are now ready,
along with elite special forces, to launch a
stepped up, three-pronged assault against
Islamic State group militants in the citys
eastern sector, ending a two-week lull in
fighting, a top Iraqi general told the
Associated Press.
The planned assault aims in part to overcome stiff resistance by the militants that
has slowed advances in the more than 2month-old offensive to recapture the northern city, the last main bastion of the Islamic
State group in Iraq.
In an attempt to isolate militants in the
eastern sector from those in the western half
of Mosul, warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition destroyed the last remaining bridge over
the Tigris River, which runs through city center.
So far in the Mosul offensive, Iraqs counterterrorism forces, which are by far the militarys most battle seasoned unit, have done
most of the fighting, pushing in from the
east. But regular army troops on the citys
southeast and northern edges, as well as federal police farther west, have not moved in
weeks, unable to penetrate the city either
because they are not equipped or trained to
fight on the streets or because of inadequate
resources.
Lt. Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, command-
er of the counterterrorism forces in eastern

Mosul, said in an interview Tuesday night
that units of the federal police have joined
units from the militarys 9th Division southeast of Mosul, while troops have taken positions alongside units from the armys 16th
Division on the north side.
Al-Saadi would not say when the advance
would begin. But it appeared likely within
days, weather permitting. He would not give
details on the size of the reinforcements.
The new reinforcements suggest that original plans to penetrate the citys western side
have been abandoned and that the plan was
now for all forces to push on in the eastern
sector.
The bridge hit this week was the last
remaining of five bridges across the Tigris
between the western and eastern halves.
Activists inside Mosul published photos
Tuesday night showing the twisted girders of
the bridge in the water as boats ferried residents back and forth. The Old Bridge, as it is
known, was built in the 1930s and is considered one of the citys iconic landmarks.
The damage is expected to further complicate life inside Mosul. A resident said people

Turkey, Russia discuss Syria cease-fire

By Philip Issa and Suzan Fraser
BEIRUT Turkey and Russia are discussing a broader Syrian cease-fire after brokering the deal that evacuated rebel-held
eastern Aleppo, Syrian opposition factions
said Wednesday, but a number of rebel groups
say they wont agree to anything until they
get more details.
All previous attempts at enforcing a
nationwide cease-fire in Syria have failed.
The recent warming of ties between Russia
and Turkey, who provide crucial support to
opposing sides of the war, may prove to be a
game changer, but the challenges are
immense.
The foreign ministers of Turkey, Russia
and Iran met in Moscow last week for talks
on Syria that pointedly included no Syrians,
indicating they prefer to pursue a grand bargain among great powers with stakes in the
conflict rather than a domestic settlement
between the government and the opposition.
An official with one of the factions confirmed to the Associated Press that Russian
and Turkish officials were debating a ceasefire proposal that would encompass the
whole of Syria. He spoke on condition of
anonymity because the talks were ongoing.
Rebels have opposed previous proposals
that would allow the government to continue
its offensives around the outskirts of the
capital, Damascus.
Russias Foreign Ministry said later
Wednesday that its embassy in the Syrian
capital was hit by mortar fire, blaming the
attack on extremists opposed to a peaceful
settlement. It said a mortar round landed in
the embassy courtyard without exploding,
and another fell in the vicinity.
Turkeys Anadolu Agency said Wednesday
morning that Ankara and Moscow had
reached an agreement, and Turkish media
reports quoted Foreign Minister Mevlut
Cavusoglu as saying that a lasting cease-fire
and political solution in Syria are close.
But no details were announced, and there was
no confirmation from state officials.
BERLIN German prosecutors said

Wednesday that they have detained a
Tunisian man they think may have been
involved in last weeks truck attack on a
Christmas market in Berlin.
The 40-year-old, who wasnt identified,
was detained in Berlin during a search of his
home and business, federal prosecutors
said.
The mans telephone number was saved in
the cellphone of Anis Amri, a fellow
Tunisian believed to have driven a truck
into the market on Dec. 19. Amri, 24, was
killed in a shootout with Italian police in a
suburb of Milan early Friday.
Of the new suspect, prosecutors said in a
statement that further investigations indicate that he may have been involved in the
attack.
Twelve people died and dozens more were
injured in the truck attack. The Islamic State
group has claimed responsibility.
Prosecutors have until Thursday evening

to determine whether the case against the
40-year-old is strong enough for them to
seek a formal arrest warrant. That would
allow them to keep him in custody pending
possible charges.
Investigators are trying to determine
whether Amri had a support network in
planning and carrying out the attack, and in
fleeing Berlin. Theyre also trying to piece
together the route he took from Berlin to
Milan.
Italian police have said Amri traveled
through France, and French authorities said
on Tuesday that he made a stop in the eastern French city of Lyon.
On Wednesday, Dutch authorities said it
appeared Amri first had fled through the
Netherlands, Germanys western neighbor.
Jirko Patist, a spokesman for the Dutch
national prosecutors office, said highly
likely that Amri had been in Nijmegen, in
the eastern Netherlands, during his journey
from Berlin to Milan.

Indexes fall as afternoon slide accelerates

By Alex Veiga
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
Banks led a broad slide in U.S.

stocks Wednesday that more than
wiped out gains from the day
before.
After an early upward turn, the
stock market veered into the red
by midmorning, the losses accelerating as the day wore on. Basic
materials companies, industrials,
utilities and energy stocks were
among the biggest decliners.
Trading was light ahead of the
New Years Day holiday. Two
stocks fell for every one that rose
on the New York Stock Exchange.
Volume is pretty weak, so
theres no aggressive selling taking place, said Bob Doll, chief
equity strategist at Nuveen Asset
Management. Its more sellers
locking in some better gains than
they thought they were going to
get this year. Its been a really
good year, so letting a little go is
just fine.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 111.36 points, or 0.6 percent, to 19,833.68. The Standard
& Poors 500 index lost 18.96
points, or 0. 8 percent, to
2,249.92. The Nasdaq composite,
which set a record high close the
day before, slid 48.89 points, or
0.9 percent, to 5,438.56.

Stocks headed for big gains in 2016 despite early stumble

By Alex Veiga
In a year with no shortage of surprises and stomach-churning turns

in the market, stock investors can
feel pretty good about 2016.
Wall Street repeatedly bounced
back from steep slumps, including
the worst start to any year for
stocks, the second correction for
the market in five months and
investor fears of a global slowdown. It also weathered plummeting oil prices and the surprising
outcomes of Britains vote to leave
the European Union and Donald
Trumps U.S. presidential election
win.
A turnaround in company earn-
ings growth, more stable oil

prices, a steadily improving U.S.
economy and job market all helped
keep the market on an upward trajectory. More recently, investor
optimism that the Republican
election sweep will usher in a bevy
of business-friendly policies
spurred the market to new heights.
Its been the year of the unlikely happening, but the crazy thing
about the unlikely happening is
you would expect that to lead to
big sell-offs, and we experienced
the exact opposite, said J.J.
Kinahan, TD Ameritrades chief
strategist. The more things happened that were unlikely, the more
we seemed to rally.
As of Tuesdays close, the
Standard & Poors 500 index, the

broadest measure of the stock market, was on track to end the year
with a gain of 11 percent after an
essentially flat finish in 2015.
Including dividends, the total
return was 13.4 percent. That
means if you invested $1,000 in
an S&P 500 index fund at the
beginning of the year youd wind
up with $1,134 at the end of the
year.
Other major market indexes were
also on course to post solid gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average
was headed for a gain of 14.5 percent, a surge that had the 30-company average flirting with crossing the 20,000 mark. The Nasdaq
composite was on track for an 9.6
percent gain.
Small-company stocks trounced
the rest of the market, however,
especially since the election. The
Russell 2000 index soared more
than 21 percent in 2016.
Investors anticipate that smaller
companies will benefit more from
an improving U.S. economy than
their larger rivals because they
tend to do far more of their business domestically. They also have
fewer ways to dodge taxes through
overseas subsidiaries, so theyll
have more to gain if corporate
taxes go down, and theyll also
have less to lose if trade frictions
flare up.
For the most part, markets overseas also fared better than in 2015.
In Europe, Britains market was

headed for a 13.2 percent gain,
despite jitters that rocked the market following the summers
Brexit vote to leave European
Union. Indexes in Germany and
France were on their way to gains
of 6.8 percent and 4.6 percent,
respectively. Japans Nikkei was
on track to eke out a gain of 1.8
percent, and Hong Kongs benchmark index was down 1.5 percent.
Few anticipated the kinds of
gains for U.S. stocks this year in
January, when the market kicked of
the year in a deep slump that
knocked the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P
500 into a correction, or a drop of
10 percent or more from their
recent peaks.
Alexa a witness to murder?

Prosecutors seek Echo data
By Jill Bledd
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Authorities investigating the death of an Arkansas man

whose body was found in a hot tub want to
expand the probe to include a new kind of
evidence: any comments overheard by the
suspects Amazon Echo smart speaker.
Amazon said it objects to overbroad
requests as a matter of practice, but prosecutors insist their idea is rooted in a legal
precedent thats as old as Methuselah.
The issue emerged in the slaying of Victor
Collins, who was found floating face-up last
year in the hot tub at a friends home in
Bentonville, about 150 miles northwest of
Little Rock. The friend, James Andrew
Bates, was later charged with murder.
Prosecutors have asked the court to force
Amazon to provide data from the Echo that
could reveal more clues about the night of
Nov. 22, 2015, when Collins was apparently strangled and drowned.
Benton County Prosecuting Attorney
Nathan Smith said Wednesday that he has no
idea if the device recorded anything related
to the death. But looking for clues is simply
a question of law enforcement doing their
due diligence.
Like any investigation, law enforcement

has an obligation to try to obtain evidence
of the crime, Smith said.
The device is a cylinder-shaped speaker
with internet-connected microphones that
debuted in late 2014. Similar to other gadgets, it listens for a users voice and responds
to commands to play music, read the
morning headlines or add an upcoming
event to a calendar, for instance. The Echo
can speak back to the user in a female voice
known as Alexa.
The search warrant, signed by a judge in
August, requests all audio recordings, transcribed records, text records and other data
from Bates Echo speaker.
So far, authorities have obtained only
basic subscriber and account information.
Smith said Wednesday that his office has had
discussions with Amazon, but that the bulk
of the request remains unfulfilled.
The prosecutions request was first reported this week by The Information, a news site
that covers the technology industry.
Amazon spokeswoman Kinley Pearsall
declined to comment specifically on the
Arkansas case but said in a statement that
the company will not release customer
information without a valid and binding
legal demand.

The Duel II
USA TODAY SPORTS
End of the curse

You wanted drama? Well, leave it to the
Cubs to give you drama . After trailing 3
games to 1 to Cleveland in the World Series,
the Cubs drew even, and then it came down
to a single game to see if the championship
drought that dated to 1908 would come to an
end. In Game 7, the Cubs led 5-1 in the fifth
inning and 6-3 in the eighth. But the
Indians were also trying to break a drought;
they hadnt won a title since 1948, and they
werent about to quit. Rajai Davis hit a
game-tying home run in the eighth. With
the game tied after nine innings, a rain
shower came and halted the action prolonging the drama for an extra 17 minutes.
When they resumed, the Cubs scored twice
in the top of the 10th. Cleveland got one of
those runs back in the bottom of the
inning, but Chicago held on. First baseman
Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs recorded the
final out at 12:47 a.m., stuck that historymaking ball in his back pocket, then ran to
the mound to celebrate.

round of the 2016 British Open.
The block, the game

Through six games of the NBA finals, the
Warriors and Cavaliers were dead even. Not
just at three games apiece, but they had
scored the exact same number of points: 610.
A good series? Hardly. None of the first six
games was decided by single digits. The average margin of victory: 19.6 points. All was
forgiven after Game 7. The highlight of the
NBA season came with 1:50 left, with the
score tied at 89, when LeBron James ran the
length of the court to block Andre Igoudalas
attempt at a go-ahead layup. The Cavaliers
went on to win 93-89 . James brought the
title back to his hometown and his block
now has its own T-shirt(s) and Wikipedia
page . Said James: I was just like, Do not

give up on the play. If you got an opportunity, just try to make this play.

Mickelson and Henrik Stenson put on a show
reminiscent of the Duel in the Sun that
Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson waged a generation earlier . Mickelson shot a bogey-free
round of 65 and it wasnt enough. Stenson
shot 8-under 63 to beat Mickelson by three
and win his first major. No other player was
within 10 shots. Afterward, the two put their
arms around each others shoulders much the
same as Nicklaus and Watson did in 1977,
when they finished their two-man show at
Turnberry. Watson won that one by a shot,
and nobody else was within 10.

Nobody made Olympic tennis more worth
watching than Argentinas Juan Martin del
Potro. The 2009 U.S. Open champion, mostly injured and sunk deep in the rankings for
years, opened his Olympic quest with a
thrilling 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2) victory over topranked Novak Djokovic that left the Serb in
tears. Later that week, an equally thrilling
match for del Potro: a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.Del
Potro lost a three-setter to Andy Murray in
the final, but hard to argue who the star of the

Brown a building block going forward

SANTA CLARA It took just two NFL

seasons for Trent Brown to go from questionable prospect to a building block.
The 49ers tackle has earned praise for
becoming one of the teams brightest
young players during an otherwise miserable season that featured the longest losing
streak in franchise history.
Hes a monster of a guy and I think hes
going to be a fantastic player as he continues to grow, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll
said on a conference call. I mean, hes
already a problem.
Brown is a massive problem for opponents literally. Hes listed at 6-foot-8 and
355 pounds.
Those traits normally lead to players
being high draft picks, but questions about
his work ethic and weight issues dropped
the Florida alum to the seventh round.
As he gains experience, I think hell be
one of the really good players in the
league, Carroll said.
The 23-year-old will have his hands full
this weekend when the Seahawks (9-5-1)
travel to play San Francisco (2-13), which
lost the past six matchups between the NFC
West rivals.
Seattle has already clinched the division
title, but needs a win to help lock up a firstround bye in the playoffs as the second seed.
Brown started the final two games of his
rookie season before winning the full-time
starting job in training

camp last August.
He played well enough
to unseat former firstround pick Anthony
Davis, who started at
right tackle for five seasons before retiring in
2015 because of conTrent Brown cerns relating to a head
injury.
Davis came back to the 49ers last summer
after missing the season. He was moved to
right guard when Chip Kelly and his staff
determined Brown was one of the teams five
best linemen as the right tackle.
Davis wound up retiring again in
September, following another head injury,
solidifying Brown as the teams starter.
During his ascent, Brown has received
high praise from notable figures. Denvers
Von Miller, last seasons Super Bowl MVP,
said Brown was already one of the better
tackles in the NFL during joint practices in
August after Brown had just two starts.
The 49ers longest-tenured player Joe
Staley, who plays left tackle, compared
Brown to Ravens Hall of Fame lineman
Jonathan Ogden.
Theres more out there for me, Brown
said. Im pretty pleased with my performances this year, it being my first full season
as a starter. Next year, I know even more
what to be prepared for. I know how to take
care of my body better. ... I feel like it will
be a big year for me.

Brown switched from the right side to the
left last week while Staley missed his third
straight game with a hamstring injury. It
was the first time Brown played left tackle
in the NFL.
He helped the 49ers get their second win
of the season against the Rams 22-21.
Hes a little bit rawer on the left side than
he is the right side, Kelly said. That transition isnt as easy I think maybe as some
people think. He did a decent job against
Los Angeles. Well see how the rest of the
week goes with Joe if Trent goes back over
or if Trent stays on the right side.
Staley, 32, said he expects to play in the
season finale, shifting Brown back to right
tackle. The five-time Pro Bowler has kept a
close eye on Brown from the sideline, helping him adjust to the nuances of the pro
game.
Brown said his biggest area of improvement has come with his footwork as a run
blocker. His long arms and athleticism have
made him a quick study in pass protection.

Williams leads Utah past Indiana in Foster Farms Bowl

ALAMEDA Plenty has changed around

the Oakland Raiders between starts at quarterbacks by Matt McGloin.
When McGloin last got the chance to start
a game late in 2013, the Raiders were wrapping up a four-win season with a roster
severely lacking in talent.
When McGloin takes the field Sunday in
Denver in place of the injured Derek Carr, he
will have three Pro Bowl linemen protecting
him, a pair of big-play receivers on the outside in Pro Bowler Amari Cooper and Michael
Crabtree and a running game that has been
one of the leagues best in recent weeks.
Hell also have far more at stake than he had
in any of those six starts he made three years
ago. With a win over the Broncos (8-7), the
Raiders (12-3) will be AFC West champions
and get a first-round bye in the playoffs.
A loss coupled with a Kansas City win in
San Diego will leave Oakland as a wild-card
team traveling to play AFC South champion
Houston on the opening weekend of the
playoffs.
SANTA CLARA Joe Williams ran for

222 yards and a touchdown and Andy
Phillips kicked a 27-yard field goal with
1:24 to play to lead Utah to its 14th victory in its past 15 bowl games, 26-24 over
Indiana in the Foster Farms Bowl on
Wednesday night.
Tyler Huntley ran for another score and
the Utes (9-4) forced three turnovers to
spoil Tom Allens coaching debut at
Indiana and improve Utah coach Kyle
Whittinghams bowl record to 10-1.
Allen took over the Hoosiers (6-7) after
Kevin Wilsons sudden resignation this
month. Allen had finished his first season
at Indiana as defensive coordinator and is
now tasked with rebuilding the team as he
did in his one year with the defense.
He appeared to be off to a good start
when the Hoosiers rallied from 10 points
down to take a 24-23 lead early in the
fourth quarter on Devine Reddings 3-yard
run following a fumble

by Utahs Zach Moss.
Williams then lost a
fumble on the next drive
for the Utes, but Griffin
Oakes missed a 40-yard
field goal attempt with
5:34 left to prevent the
Hoosiers from adding
Joe Williams onto the lead.
That proved costly
when Williams ran for 64 yards on the
ensuing drive to help set up Phillips
fourth field goal of the game to make it 2624.
Indianas last gasp chance ended when
Richard Lagow was hit on a desperation
heave near midfield.
The takeaway
Indi ana: Allens debut started off well
when Kyle Fulks fumbled the opening
kickoff for Utah and Indiana turned that
into a touchdown on a 7-yard pass from
Lagow to Mitchell Paige. But the Hoosiers
struggled on offense after that. Lagow went

14 for 39 for 188 yards and an interception. The receivers didnt help with several
drops but Lagow was often off-target or had
passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Utah: The Utes took advantage of the
bowl game to get a good look at freshman
quarterback Huntley, who could compete
with Troy Williams for the starting job
next season. Huntley completed a 36-yard
pass to Kyle Fulks on his only throw but
was used much more in the running game.
He finished with 23 yards on eight carries
with the touchdown.
Up next
Indi ana: Allen viewed the preparation
and bowl game as the start of his first full
season in 2017. The Hoosiers will jump
right into it, hosting Ohio State in the season opener on Aug. 31.
Utah: The Utes will have a far easier
opener, getting FCS-level North Dakota at
home on Aug. 31.

Ronda Rousey returns to the UFC ring Friday after a 13-month layoff.
Rousey not saying much to

promote her UFC comeback
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES Ronda Rousey

is returning to mixed martial arts
Friday after a 13-month absence,
taking on Amanda Nunes for the
bantamweight title at UFC 207.
Just dont expect to hear about it
from Rousey.
The once-dominant champion
has largely declined to promote
her comeback bout, skipping
nearly every traditional pre-fight
media responsibility. Rouseys
silence leaves Nunes and the other
fighters on the card in the awkward
position of doing all the dirty
work to sell the UFCs end-of-theyear, pay-per-view event in Las
Vegas.
I really dont know whats
going on with Ronda right now,
Nunes said recently. This whole
thing, I really dont know. ... I
think the UFC is doing it for her. I
think the UFC has been doing all

the promos for her. I think she can
do whatever she wants.
Rousey is the most marketable
name in the game and perhaps the
biggest mainstream star in MMA
history, and her return from last
years shocking knockout loss to
Holly Holm should be one of the
biggest sports events of the holiday period. Rousey (12-1) largely
vanished from public after her
defeat, but agreed to return for a
title shot at Nunes (13-4), who
won the belt in July.
Rouseys decision to limit herself to a few talk-show appearances and a fleeting interview or
two has forced Nunes who has a
tiny fraction of Rouseys fame
to carry the promotional weight
along with talkative mens bantamweight champion Dominick
Cruz, who takes on unbeaten Cody
Garbrandt in the co-main event at
T-Mobile Arena.

Upset with themselves for blowing a 14point lead in the fourth quarter to lose 109108 at Cleveland in an NBA Finals rematch
on Christmas Day, they took it out on
Toronto three days later.
DeMar DeRozan scored 29 points and
became Torontos career scoring leader
(10,290), passing Chris Boshs 10,275
points, but the Raptors had their franchiserecord, seven-game road winning streak
snapped.

they dont critique you, really its out of my

Some writers may like me, some may not

let that bother me.
McGloin has big shoes to fill. Carr had
emerged as an MVP candidate this season
after throwing for 28 touchdowns, 3,933
yards and leading seven fourth-quarter comebacks.
McGloin has just one win under his belt,
coming when he threw three TD passes in his
first career start at Houston in 2013. The
Raiders then lost the next five games with
McGloin before Terrelle Pryor started the season finale.
McGloin completed just 55.9 percent of
his passes that season with eight touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 76.1 rating.
He has thrown just 55 passes the past three

Coach Jack Del Rio said the only advice
this week is to stay true to himself.
Be who you are. Make your plays. Let us
all do our jobs around you, Del Rio said.
You dont have to put the world on your

ask everybody to do their job. Understand

Chickens can be helpful, and challenging, for gardeners

By Dean Fosdick
Raising small flocks of backyard chickens has been a trend among city dwellers for
a decade or so, and putting the birds to work
can be a boon to gardens. You can use them
for tilling, grubbing for worms and for their
manure, which makes excellent free fertilizer.
But raising chickens does bring challenges, especially if you give them the run
of the yard.
These free-ranging chickens will eat
large amounts of insects, grasses and
seeds, said James Hermes, an extension
poultry specialist with Oregon State
University. They will also eat ornamental
and vegetable plant gardens in their search
for insects.
Hermes suggests keeping a few of the
birds in chicken tractors or coops that can
be wheeled around the yard and placed where
convenient say, between the wide rows
of a vegetable garden.
Chickens put nutrients (manure) in the
soil and remove some of the small weeds,
he said. And they will eat insects. If there
are bugs on the plants they will get them,
too.
But they also will get the small tender
plants, like tomatoes. Corn stalks a month
or so old they wont damage those.
Lisa Steele, author of the new Gardening
Keep chickens out of the garden in the summer or until youre ready to share it with them. Use
barriers around the plants, or install fencing while the plants are small.
With Chickens: Plans and Plants for You
and Your Hens (Voyageur Press), subscribes to a seasonal form of management
for her 12 chickens.
In the spring, I have them out there eating bugs, she said. They also stir up the
soil cultivate it.
But keep them out of the garden in the

summer or until youre ready to share it with
them, Steele said. Use barriers around the
plants, or install fencing while the plants
are small.
The birds eat whatever is left over after
the harvest, she said. During the winter, I
use their manure for fertilizer and compost.

Chicken manure is nitrogen-rich, so let it
mature for a while four to six months
before applying it around plants, or it may
burn them.
Many people design their gardens in part
to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and
other pollinators. Steele designs gardens in
part for her chickens.
She uses a variety of plants mostly
herbs for boosting egg production (fennel, marjoram, parsley), changing egg yolk
colors to orange (carrots, marigolds, watermelon), as feed supplements (chervil, dill,
oregano, sage), for healthier baby chicks
(basil, dandelion, tarragon) and to boost
immune systems (blue cornflowers, rosemary, thyme).
Steele writes that she hasnt found any
research to prove herbs specific benefits,
but she finds that overall they augment her
chickens immune systems and keep them
healthy naturally.
I put fresh herbs in the nesting boxes to
calm setting hens, repel insects and
rodents, and add an aromatic scent to the
chicken coop, she said.
Allow the chickens access to the kitchen
compost when it needs turning and they will
spread it around for you, she said. As a
bonus, they provide plenty of nitrogen-rich
green material in the form of poop as they
work the soil with their feet, searching for
seeds, bugs and other goodies to eat.

he said.
Ross said there has been substantial local
enthusiasm for the grant since it was
announced, as more than 150 people have
submitted applications. The deadline to
apply is Tuesday, Jan. 31.
His hope is it will combat the local teaching shortage by enticing those who are
already working in the local education
industry to move up in their career.
We dont have to convince these 50 people to move here. Theyve already made that
decision, so now they can become teachers
and weve gone some of the way toward
addressing the problem, he said.
The problem Ross refers to is the struggle
school districts up and down the Peninsula
have had in attracting and retaining teachers, due primarily to the escalating cost of
living locally.
Even though many of the San Mateo
County school systems offer higher salaries
than the rest of the state, Ross noted local
districts are unable to keep rates competitive with pay available in the private sector, and particularly the booming tech
industry.

new teachers to fill vacancies in high-need
areas, including special education.
Ross said his optimism is fueled through
studies indicating those who already work
on school campuses and regularly interact
with students have high success rates once
they become teachers.
Part of what is exciting to me about this
grant program is there is research showing
that paraprofessionals and other school
staff are more effective because of their
experience in the environment and knowing what it is like in the classroom, he
said.

offered through the grant will be trained at
their home campus, which Ross said will
better allow prospective teachers to hone
their skills on their home turf.
The best way to prepare a teacher is to do
it in a job-embedded environment, rather
than shipping them off to an ivory tower,

This really provides an opportunity
to get patients to services more quickly
for clinical circumstances that most
require, said Shasta Addessi, the vice
president of Clinical Service for the
medical center operated by Sutter
Health.
Once the deck is open for operations,
Addessi expects the addition of helicopter transport to be most beneficial
in enhancing service for patients experiencing a heart attack, stroke or other
medical emergencies in which time is
crucial to improving survival rates.
When minutes matter, its another
option for transport for patients, she
said.
A previous helipad was closed and
demolished in 2011 when the medical
center was rebuilt. The new deck, which
cost about $2.6 million to construct, is
located adjacent to the ambulance dock
in the parking lot nearest the emergency patient intake area.
It works really nicely, she said.
We are able to get patients in very
quickly for emergencies.
Addessi said she believes the centers

As a result, educators are often forced to

commute to the Peninsula from far reaching
corners of the Bay Area, resulting in a high
attrition and turnover rates.
A lot of districts offer a higher pay scale,
but they cannot keep pace with the cost of
housing and the cost of living, said Ross.
So a lot of districts are wrestling with this
because if you cant afford to live here, you
cant consider a job.
Though the struggle is severe in San
Mateo County, it is not unique. School districts throughout California are scrambling
to find teachers and the California Teachers
Association has estimated 100,000 new
teachers will be needed over the next decade.
Much of the general need for teachers is
fed through a previous generation of educators beginning to retire, with the numbers
to expected to increase in coming years.
With fewer college students enrolling in
credential programs, the two trends stand to
present an even more challenging hurdle for
state schools to clear in coming years.
Some of those longtime educators previously benefitted from a former federal effort
designed to train aspiring teachers known

as the Teacher Corps, said Ross, who noted
the parallels between the past initiative
offered under President Lyndon Johnson and
the current county grant program.
Locally, school districts have pursued
innovative methods of combatting the
shortage by working to lessen the affordability burden on their staff through considering building workforce housing.
The San Mateo County Community
College District has successfully erected
developments on two campuses and work is
underway to build a third. District officials
have said the developments are a useful
recruiting tool, and have shared their
expertise with colleagues in the San Mateo
Union High, South San Francisco Unified
and San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
school districts who are considering similar
initiatives.
In the context of the variety of ongoing
efforts, Ross said he believed the grant program could be one useful step toward fighting against the struggle to find quality local
teachers.
I think it is really exciting to do this,
he said.
helideck is a rare resource along the

Peninsula. There is a deck for helicopters at the Stanford Medical Center serving trauma patients, which the center in
Burlingame does not accommodate. The
helideck at Mills-Peninsula is open to
all Sutter and non-Sutter hospitals.
The opportunity to offer helicopter
transport will also enhance the centers
ability to care for patients in far reaching parts of its service area which may
be otherwise be difficult to reach with
an ambulance, said Addessi.
A helicopter opens up the capacity
for patients that are further away and
dont have access to the high level clinical services that we have here, she
said.
As traffic congestion worsens along
many of the Peninsulas main thoroughfares, with little relief likely on
the horizon, Addessi noted helicopter
service can avoid many of the commute
struggles faced by ground transport.
The helideck will allow us to bypass
any variability with traffic, she said.
In the case of an earthquake, tsunami
or other natural disaster that wipes out
the ability to access patients with an
ambulance, Addessi said aerial service
could also prove invaluable.
If the freeway and bridges are
unavailable, we will be able to accept
patients via helicopter, she said.
Though the deck stands to be a poten-
tially valuable resource for the medical

center, Addessi said she did not expect it
would be used with a high rate of frequency, but that could change according
to demand.
Bob De Mann, project manager for
Sutter Health who oversaw construction
of the deck, said as helicopter service
returns to Mills-Peninsula, flight paths
could impact development plans around
the medical center.
Most notably, he said the proposed
office and residential project planned
by the Mills-Peninsula Health Care
District on land adjacent to the medical
center could be influenced by flight
path regulations.
He said health care district officials
have worked closely with those at the
medical center to assure project design
does not conflict with helicopter flight
requirements.
They have accommodated this and
will continue to do that, De Mann said.
Ultimately, Addessi said she believes
once the deck is up and running,
patients needing immediate care will be
well served through aerial transport
returning to the Peninsula.
We are really excited about this, she
said. Its a unique resource to have in
this community, so we are grateful for
having it.

Fun and fulfilling alternatives to golf carts

By John Marshall
Powering up the hills is worth it for the

high-speed barrels down the other side too,
particularly if youre rolling down the pristine grass of a golf course fairway.
Unlike the Golfboard, the Golf Bike has
its own bag on the back, so youll have to
switch clubs out and bring whatever else
you need with you.
The Golf Bike was created by Todd May, a
mountain-bike rider and golf product
designer, with the first prototype in 2010.
The Golf Bike was in the Inventors
Spotlight at the 2013 PGA Show and is
available at nearly three dozen courses
across the country.
People grew up riding bicycles, so its
really easy for them, Dickens said. But it
definitely is a fitness activity, so if you go
out and ride the bike and play 18 holes
youre definitely going to feel it.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Golf, at its inception, was a game of physical activity. Hit
the ball and walk to find it, sometimes up to
5 miles during an 18-hole round.
The advent of motorized golf carts has
limited the amount of exertion mainly to
the two or three seconds it takes to swing
on each shot. There are a few die-hards who
still like to walk some with pull carts
but the modern version of the game has
turned into hit the ball, drive and find it.
That trend has started to change in recent
years as golf courses have diversified the
way golfers get around, adding an element
of fitness and fun to their rounds with snowboard-like carts, mountain bikes and
Segways.
Why go to a gym and run on a treadmill
or ride a stationary bike when you can come
out to a beautiful golf course and ride a
Golfboard or mountain bike? said Nancy
Dickens, director of golf at Westin Kierland
Golf Club, which offers Golfboards, Golf
Bikes and Segway golf carts. Golf should
be about fitness, not just riding around in a
cart.
A few of the alternatives to traditional
golf carts:
SEGWAY GOLF
GOLFBOARD
The most fun youll ever have playing a
round of golf outside of a hole-in-one.
Riding a Golfboard is like carving waves
of green fairway between shots.
The board is similar to a snowboard, surfboard or skateboard, only attached to four,
4-inch turf tires and powered by a motor,
with the clubs strapped to the front.
The thumb throttle is attached to a handle
and has two speeds: low if you want to
cruise, high if you want to feel like youre
banking moguls.
Though the Golfboard involves a bit of
training before heading out, its relatively
easy to pick up a matter of figuring out
just how far to lean to make the board turn
(hint: Its more than you think). Its also a
decent workout for core muscles with the
leaning, twisting and turning to get the
board to turn.
The Golfboard was created by Don
Riding a Golfboard is the most fun youll ever have playing golf outside of a hole-in-one.
Wildman, owner of Bally Total Fitness,
with the help of his friend, professional
surfer and avid golfer Laird Hamilton. It won
best new product of the year at the 2014
PGA Merchandise Show and is available at
more than 150 golf courses around the
world.
Its just great entertainment between
shots, Golfboards Jim Black said.
People will say, I played (poorly), but
thats the most fun Ive ever had playing
golf.
GOLF BIKE
If you want more of a workout, the Golf
Bike is the way to go.
The Golf Bike has wider-than-normal
tires for a smooth ride and less impact on

the turf, and 14 gears to make it easier to get
up and down the hills. Its still a workout,
particularly on hilly golf courses, and riders
can burn up to 2,000 calories during an 18hole round, according to the Golf Bike website.
Because the two-wheeled Segway is balance-based and has an unfamiliar feel to

most people, it takes a little more training
up to an hour at Kierland.
Though riders may have to zigzag up
steeper hills, the Segway can take them
pretty much anywhere on the course with
ease and with a greater sense of freedom
than a cart. It also can help with pace of
play; riders go to their individual balls
instead of driving together in a cart.
The Segway X2 Golf has turf-friendly
tires that impact the course much less than a
cart. A bag stand is attached to the side for
easy access to your clubs. The workout is
similar to the Golfboard, with riders engaging their core muscles to maneuver the
Segway around the course.
The Segway X2 Golf has become available at high-end golf courses around the
world since being introduced in 2006.

DATEBOOK
LAWS
changes of law each year, its our
responsibility as licensed drivers,
said DMV Public Information Officer
Artemio Armenta. This impacts
everyone ... drivers, motorcyclists and
pedestrians alike. And we really want
to make sure the public understands
these changes.
One of the most significant changes
drivers are warned of is that electronic
wireless devices such as cellphones
or tablets arent to be used except
under limited circumstances. Those
who were used to shuffling through
music, texting or dialing a phone number will be prohibited from doing so
once the clock strikes midnight Jan.
1, 2017.
The bill aims to strengthen distracted driver laws by prohibiting people
from physically holding their phones
while driving.
We definitely think its a good
idea, said CHP Public Information
Officer Art Montiel. One of the things
weve really worried about lately is
distracted driving. Were definitely
going to be enforcing [the new law].
Assemblyman Bill Quirk, DHayward, authored the bill that prohibits anyone driving from using cellphones unless its done with a voiceoperated feature that can be activated
with only a single swipe or tap of the
phone. The phone must either be
mounted on a cars dashboard or drivers can use Bluetooth features enabled
on their cars. That means activities
like texting, calling or looking up
directions on a map will be heavily
restricted.
I think the message here is clear, we
all need to pull over if were going to
make a call or use our phones,
Armenta said.
Safety and
consumer protections
There are number of other safetyrelated laws such as requiring children
2 years old or younger to be secured in
a rear-facing car seat, unless theyre
more than 40 pounds or 40 inches tall.
A new bill also makes it explicitly
legal for motorcyclists to lane split
and the CHP will develop educational
guidelines to make sure motorcyclists
driving between cars are doing so safely, according to the DMV.

Consumer protection laws drafted by
San Mateo County representatives are
going
into
effect
as
well.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, authored a bill instituting stricter penalties for anyone who
sells, installs or distributes counterfeit
or nonfunctioning airbags.
The goal here is to keep the motoring public as safe as possible and to
deal more effectively with this sort of
underground market, Mullin said.
Former assemblyman Rich Gordon,
D-Menlo Park, was termed out this
year but will have a lasting affect on
how the state handles vehicles that
were issued safety recalls. Car dealers
as well as rental or leasing companies
are prohibited from selling or renting
cars with outstanding manufacturer
recalls unless the rental company
has a fleet of 34 or fewer cars.
Gordons law also requires the DMV to
include a general advisory about
recalls when drivers renew their vehicle registration.
It adds a layer of consumer protections, Armenta said, adding Mullins
airbag rule is to keep drivers and
everyone safe and to make sure we
arent in a vehicle that hasnt had
repairs done following the law.
Other rules kicking in during 2017
include requiring transportation network companies to conduct comprehensive background checks of their
drivers; increasing the threshold for
reporting an accident to the DMV from
$750 in property damage to $1,000;
and allowing those who own a car built
between 1970 and 1980 to use vintage
blue-and-yellow license plates on their
cars, according to the DMV.
Two budgetary changes include vehicle registration fees increasing from
$43 to $53 starting April 1, as well as
increasing costs of personalized
license plates. The issuance price of
vanity plates will increase from $43 to
$53 beginning July 1, and the ongoing cost to keep it will increase from
$38 to $43 as of Jan. 1, according to
the DMV.
Down the road

Local legislators were also successful in creating two laws that were
approved in 2016 but that wont go
into full effect in 2019.
Mullin created a temporary license
plate system that will require all cars to
be equipped with an identifying num-
ber. The bill aims to prevent criminals

from escaping detection by driving
vehicles without license plates and
keeping people from skirting tollbooths. The law is expected to generate $19 million by preventing drivers
from avoiding bridge or tollbooth
fees, according to Mullins office.
Anyone buying a new or used car will
be charged a fee and immediately
issued a temporary license plate that
has a number registered with the DMV.
Drivers caught without license plates
can be ticketed and the law has provisions for those who dont receive their
permanent plates through no fault of
their own.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
was also successful in creating a
statewide program requiring those convicted of drunk driving to install ignition interlock devices. A current fourcounty pilot program will be expanded
to drivers across California beginning
Jan. 1, 2019. Those who have multiple drunk driving convictions or firsttime offenders who cause injury will be
required to install the breathalyzer
thats hooked up to the ignition. The
law allows first-time offenders to
chose whether they want to install the
device in exchange for having driving
privileges reinstated, and the length of
time the device must be installed
increases based on the number of
offenses.
Hill said he anticipates the new law
could save hundreds of lives.
Its just a critical piece of legislation, Hill said. We lose 1,000 lives a
year to drunk drivers and the part that
was so powerful, was when you look at
every state that has implemented this
policy and this law, they have reduced
deaths by drunk driving by 30 to 40
percent consistently.
He agreed some of the new laws, such
as prohibiting cellphone uses, will be
a significant change and urged those
who choose to get behind the wheel,
do so safely.
Drivers need to be aware of their
responsibility, Hill said. Its very
important that government and the
DMV make sure drivers are informed of
new legislation and that handheld
[cellphone] bill, that is a major
change of policy.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Maria V. Garcia
Case Number: 16PRO00197A
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Maria V. Garcia. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Isabel
Henriquez in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Isabel Henriquez be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the
file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 23, 2017
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor 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 representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
