By Kristin J. Bender and Marcio J. Sanchez The Associated Press SAN JOSE Rescuers chest- deep in water steered boats carrying dozens of people, some with babies and pets, from a San Jose neighbor- hood inundated by water from an overflowing creek Tuesday. Therescuedresidentshad to be taken to dry land and rinsed with soap and water to prevent them from being sickened by floodwaters that had traveled through en- gine fuel, garbage, debris and over sewer lines, San Jose Fire Capt. Mitch Mat- low said. Only residents who could show they had been cleaned off were allowed to board buses to a shelter for those who were displaced by the floodwaters. "This is like once-in-a- lifetime," said Bobby Lee, 15, of the water around him. He was rescued with his brother and parents, who took clothes, electron- ics and some photos from their home in the largely La- tino and Vietnamese neigh- borhood. Throughout the neigh- borhood, vehicles were sub- merged. Earlier Tuesday, firefighters rescued five peo- ple stranded by flooding at a homeless camp along the same creek in San Jose. Firefighters were going door-to-door to alert resi- dents because the city does not have sirens or another emergency warning system, San Jose spokesman David Vossbrink said. "Anybody who is near the creek should be getting ready to leave," he said. In the San Joaquin Val- ley in California's agri- cultural heartland, farm- ers used their tractors and other heavy equipment to help shore up an endan- gered levee along the San Joaquin River. The rains were the lat- est produced by a series of storms generated by so- called atmospheric rivers that dump massive quanti- ties of Pacific Ocean water on California after carrying it aloft from as far away as Hawaii. The rains have saturated the once-drought stricken region but have created chaos for residents hit hard by the storms. The latest downpours swelled waterways to flood levels and left about half the state under flood, wind and snow advisories. The storm system be- gan to weaken Tuesday af- ter dumping more than a half-inch of rain in the San Joaquin Valley, over an inch in San Francisco, and more than 5 inches in the moun- tains above Big Sur over the previous 24 hours, the Na- tional Weather Service re- ported. Dry weather was ex- pected to return to the re- gion on Wednesday. In San Jose, the fire de- partment was called to Coy- ote Creek amid reports of as many as 40 people being stranded at the homeless en- campment. That number turned out to be inaccurate and every- one was located, fire Capt. Mitch Matlow said. The conditions of the five people rescued were not im- mediately available. Some farmers took their tractors and other equip- ment to the levee to help shore it up. They were there filling it in within 30 min- utes of noticing the levee break, said alfalfa farmer Tony Coit. "The farmers ran it like a boss," said Coit, who de- scribed how they used soil from the levee itself to fill in the 30-foot-wide break un- til they could truck in large rocks for a more substantial repair. WEATHER Do ze ns r es cu ed f ro m ri si ng w at er s in S an J os e By Amy Taxin The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Andres Dorantes has long been content with the green card that lets him live in the U.S. and work as a tattoo artist in Los Angeles. That changed when Don- ald Trump became presi- dent and swiftly made exec- utive orders to crack down on immigrants and ban travel from certain coun- tries. Dorantes, a Mexican immigrant, made an ap- pointment at a naturaliza- tion workshop to start the process of becoming an American citizen. "I wanted to do it for a long time but I was always busy," said the 33-year-old Dorantes, who came to the U.S. a decade ago after his father sponsored him for a green card. "Now, I see what is happening — everything is crazy." Since last month, immi- grants have been rushing to prepare applications to become U.S. citizens. Legal service organizations in Los Angeles, Maryland and New York catering to diverse im- migrant communities from Latin America, Asia and the Middle East all said they've beenfieldingarisingnumber of calls and questions about how to become a citizen. The wait time has dou- bled for a spot at a monthly naturalization clinic fo- cused on Asian immi- grants in Los Angeles. Since Trump's executive orders on immigration, the number of immigrants inquiring about citizenship has also doubled at a Muslim organization in Southern California and at Latin American-focused groups in Maryland and New York, advocates said. The growing interest in citizenship follows a surge in naturalization applica- tions last year amid Trump's anti-immigrant campaign rhetoric and ahead of a De- cember increase in filing fees. Nearly 1 million people applied to naturalize during the 2016 fiscal year, the larg- est number in nine years, government data shows. At naturalization cer- emonies in Los Ange- les last week, many of the 6,000 newly sworn citizens proudly waved flags and shed tears at the culmina- tion of a lengthy journey to become Americans. A cer- emony in Chicago a week earlier took an emotional turn when a Syrian immi- grant recited the Pledge of Allegiance amid a rancor- ous court fight over the new president's travel ban affect- ing his native country. Immigrants historically have sought citizenship for the many new opportuni- ties it brings: the ability to vote, better job prospects, an American passport for travel, bringing relatives here from overseas. This year, it's more about fear in a Trump administration. "After the election, the desire to naturalize shifted. It wasn't more about op- portunity and bringing more family, it was more about, 'there is a new presi- dent who is anti-immigrant and we need to do what we can to protect ourselves," said Nasim Khansari, citi- zenship project director at AsianAmericansAdvancing Justice in Los Angeles. For years, immigrant ad- vocates have urged lawful permanent residents, also known as green card hold- ers, to naturalize, which would protect them from deportation were they ever convicted of a crime. Still, millions of eligible immigrantsrefrainfromdo- ing so, citing fear of passing English language and citi- zenship tests and hundreds of dollars in filing fees. Most immigrants need to live in the country and have a green card for at least five years before they can file a citizenship application. More than 8 million people were eligible to naturalize in 2013, according to the De- partment of Homeland Se- curity. For many of those now coming forward, the big change came when Trump issued a travel ban against citizens of seven Muslim- majority countries. Even immigrants not affected by the ban — which has since been blocked by the courts — were jolted, advocates said, especially when green card holders were initially held for questioning at U.S. airports along with visitors.

Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THEPASSINGPARADE (FrommyISaycolumnofJuly1972) Sunday mornings are for sourdough pancakes... but variety is the spice of life so I drew up plans for waffles. I've not been too successful with waffles. Whereas flapjacks stick to your ribs, waffles tend to stick to their place of orign... the waffle iron. The last non-sticker I recall was located in the famous Sale house across the river. Legend has it that it was brought over by covered wagon from Virginia. It was small, took a half hour to cook...but the product did not stick to the grids! But I digress… After scrubbing the teflon grids of our waffle iron with soap and water, I consulted Julia Grownup who was still trying to catch a little shuteye. I yelled from the kitchen, "I'm ready to try waffles again...any suggestions?" "Don't wash the grids with soap and water!" she responded. "Any other timely suggestions?" I asked. "Grease the grids thoroughly," she replied. "We're out of Crisco", I announced. "No we're not. There are two cans left over from your last bonfire cookout in the grove." "Yes," I cried, " but they have little bits of twigs and leaves in them !" "You were the cook at the time" she smirked. "...and maybe dead ants…" "Tough", she concluded. Realizing I was not making any headway, and overstaying my distant conversation with the queen, I decided to leave sleeping spouses lie, quietly retreated to the kitchen area and returned to my hopeless task. I finally secured enough toxic free Crisco and applied it liber- ally to the grids. Taking no chances I applied plenty of the stuff. (If I had applied as much to Dr. Martin's backside he could have successfully slid into third at a recent Kiwanis softball game! Anyhow, I loaded the waffle iron with batter. The moment of truth was at hand! After a few minutes I tried gently lifting the lid. Nothing moved. I tried lifting a bit harder. Nothing. Stuck fast. I thought of applying WD40 around the edges and prying with a crowbar, but realized it might affect the eating quality. Nuts! The waffle iron remained stuck fast like a giant clam. Oh well, nothing wrong with cornflakes, milk and bananas on a Sunday morning. … Current thoughts on breakfast: Do you, gentleman readers, prepare your own breakfast...or do you expect your better half (assuming you are not a bache- lor) to do that little chore for you? As a word to the wise, I suggest you arise early and make your own breakfast! As they say, put on your big boy pants and allow your companion to sleep an extra half hour each morning. It may save your marriage if it needs saving. I have always made my own breakfast. Except for a brief stint in the service, I have always risen early and performed this simple task. It will promote domestic tranquility. Robert Minch WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2017 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
