County may give Seton $15M

Supervisors to discuss support for hospital in ownership flux
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County officials are poised to

offer up to $15 million to help the new leaders of Daly Citys Seton Medical Center
ensure the hospital can withstand an earthquake.
The Board of Supervisors meets Tuesday
and will consider offering countywide tax
funds to support state-mandated seismic
upgrades of the nonprofit hospital. Seton

Medical Center, which also offers emergency services, is one of six facilities in
the state that garnered attention from the
states attorney general when its former
cash-strapped operator Daughters of
Charity sought to sell the group.
Now, the county hopes to support health
care services while encouraging the hospital remain a nonprofit.
In late 2015, Attorney General Kamala
Harris laid out terms when the New York

hedge fund BlueMountain Capital struck a
deal with Daughters of Charity and rebranded as Verity Health System. Harris conditions were meant to ensure the safety-net
hospitals continue offering services for at
least 10 years. Part of those obligations
included making seismic upgrades to Seton
Medical Center by 2020, which the hospital has estimated could cost $65 million,
according to a county staff report.
The county has long supported the medical center, as well as its sister facility
Seton Coastside in Moss Beach both of
which provide services to low-income
county residents.
The reason its important to upgrade the
facility is obviously that organization
serves a large number of people in the north
end of the county and I think its vital to

The challenge of identifying an appropriate target for

The talks Tuesday, Dec. 6, are part of the process to update

Though the talks have been going on for more than one

This is perhaps one of the most difficult discussions to

Senator seeks money for Martins Beach

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hoping to maintain the momentum to

preserve Californians access to the coast, a
local legislator is again calling on his colleagues at the state Capitol to potentially
support one of governments most controversial maneuvers eminent domain.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
announced Monday he will seek state funds
to potentially seize an easement at the contended Martins Beach. Hills move came
just a day before the State Lands
Commission was slated to discuss the
stalled negotiations with billionaire property owner Vinod Khosla.
The SLC will hear from the public before
adjourning to a closed session to discuss
whether it should, for the first time in its
78-year history, pursue eminent domain
against a private property owner. But in its
quest to reopen the secluded beach just south
of Half Moon Bay, officials have pointed to
the glaring challenge of not having funds
that could be spent on condemnation.
Its also not clear whether the SLC is
ready to take on the legal battle of eminent
domain, particularly as the property is
already the source of three pending lawsuits
including one filed in federal court by
Khosla, who alleges the state is infringing
upon his private property rights.
Hoping instead for a more amicable
arrangement, the SLC made an undisclosed
offer to buy an easement along a 6.4-acre
portion of the property that stretches from
Highway 1 down to the beach. However,
once Khosla refused, the state land agency
was prohibited from using its existing
Jerry Hill
statewide fund to forcefully reopen Martins

Beach.
The wealthy property
owner countered the state
should buy the entire
property from him,
which would be a difficult
endeavor for the public
agency with a less than
$7 million statewide
fund.
Hill said he would ask his colleagues in
Sacramento to allocate general fund money
to reopen the property if the SLC opts to
proceed with eminent domain a follow-up
to his 2014 law requiring the state to negotiate with Khosla in the first place.
Its important to show that the
Legislature is willing to help fund the effort
to uphold the publics constitutional right
of access to Californias beaches, Hill said
in a press release.
But Hill may be in for another battle. He
faced lobbyists and opposition when he
first proposed the law requiring the SLC to
negotiate. Khosla hired a former coastal
commissioner to argue against Hill in
Sacramento, where his bill only narrowly
passed. Initially, his 2014 proposal
required the use of eminent domain if negotiations failed. But after pushback, Hill
loosened it to simply direct the state agency
to spend at least a year attempting to compromise.
The SLC comprised of Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom, State Controller Betty Yee and
state Finance Director Michael Cohen
must now decide whether to proceed.
Hills new legislation would only kick in

only if the SLC opts to acquire public access

through eminent domain and outline a funding allocation once the negotiation price is
disclosed, according to Hill.
Its not yet known how much the narrow
easement will cost as the SLC has not
divulged the value of an appraisal or its
offer. It has, however, questioned Khoslas
assertion that the easement alone might be
worth $30 million.
Khosla, a venture capitalist and cofounder of Sun Microsystems, bought the
89-acre property for $32.5 million in 2008.
Two years later, he closed the gate to the
secluded crescent-shaped property that the
previous owners opened to the public for a
small parking fee. Currently, theres nearly
40 leased homes on the site and its not
clear how often Khosla visits.
He is not expected to give in easily nor
has he been one to shy away from litigation
when it comes to property rights. An attorney representing Khosla has maintained the
case is about governments interference
with private property and that he has offered
to open the beach on days when historic
demand exceeded 10 cars, or to sell the
entire site to the state at fair market value.
But the SLC has maintained buying the
property outright wouldnt adhere to the
intent of Hills bill, nor is it clear how the
state could fund such a purchase.
Hill said he plans to attend Tuesdays
meeting and urged others to speak in favor
of preserving the publics rights to access
the coast.
This is an opportunity for the State
Lands Commission to send a message that
Californias beaches cannot be bought to
foreclose the publics right of access to our
coastline, Hill said.

A 2-year-old girl who died last month in

injuries, according to San

The incident occurred
on Nov. 27 when emergency crews responded to

was in distress and having trouble breathing at an apartment at 320
E. OKeefe St., police said.
The girl was taken to a hospital where she
died a short while later. Her name has not
yet been released.
Because the girls injuries were not immediately apparent and she had no known medical history, investigators treated the death
as suspicious, according to police.
After an autopsy revealed evidence of foul
play, officers identified the alleged culprit
as Adair Jeru Enriquez Zevallos, the live-in
boyfriend of the girls mother. He was
arrested last Tuesday on suspicion of murder,
police said.
Zevallos appeared in San Mateo County

He remains in custody with no bail set,

Two firefighters were released from the

responding to a three-alarm house fire near
Redwood City.
The fire was first reported at 2:22 p.m. at
651 Vista Drive in the hilly Emerald Lake
area in unincorporated San Mateo County.
The two firefighters were injured during a
possible explosion at the scene. One firefighter suffered minor burns to their face and
another suffered smoke inhalation, Cal Fire

The injured firefighters were released from
the hospital around 7 p.m., according to
Steward.
Firefighters were able to bring the blaze
under control at about 5 p.m. The residents
were not home when the fire broke out and
no one else was injured, Steward said.
The three-story, single-family home sustained significant damage. The home was
being remodeled when the fire broke out.
Firefighters havent been able to get
inside the house because the building is
structurally unsafe, according to Steward.
Firefighters were planning to go inside
Monday and an investigation into what
caused the explosion and the fire is ongoing, Steward said.
Therapy pig to bring

PG&E urges caution

with space heaters
Heating equipment is the second leading
cause of home fires in the United States, and
almost half of these fires occur between
December and February, Pacific Gas and
Electric officials warned customers.
According to the National Fire Protection
Association, heating equipment accounted
for 56,000 structure fires each year between
2009 and 2013.
We want our customers to be warm this
winter, but most importantly we want them
to be safe, Jake Zigelman, Director of
Local Customer Experience at PG&E, said in
a statement.
Electric heating devices like space heaters
can cause fires if not monitored. Fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, stoves and
water heaters carry a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if they malfunction,
Zigelman said.
Space heater fires most often occur when
heating equipment is too close to flammable objects like furniture, clothing, mattresses or bedding.
PG&E officials recommended that customers place space heaters on level, hard,
nonflammable surfaces instead of rugs or
carpets.
Officials said that its not safe to put
objects on space heaters or to use them to
dry clothes or shoes, and reminded residents
that space heaters should be turned off when
leaving the room or going to sleep.

California lawmakers take aim to

protect immigrants from Trump
By Jonathan J. Cooper
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers on Monday urged Presidentelect Donald Trump to refrain from pursuing mass deportations and introduced
urgent legislation to fund immigration
lawyers and help public defenders protect the states immigrants.
Democratic lawmakers also passed
resolutions in both chambers urging
the incoming administration to uphold
a program for hundreds of thousands of
young immigrants in the country illegally, despite intense protests from
some Republicans.
State Sen. Ben Hueso, D-San Diego,
introduced a bill to fund lawyers for
immigrants in deportation proceedings, while Assemblyman Rob Bonta,
D-Alameda, proposed helping public
defenders assess the immigration consequences of criminal convictions.
Both measures were marked urgent
and aim to protect immigrants in
California which has more than 10
million foreign-born residents from
Trumps campaign promises of tougher
immigration enforcement.
This is a salvo, if you will, across
the board to make it very clear that
these are the values of California,

told reporters.
Democratic lawmakers, who hold
supermajorities in both chambers, proposed the measures following a heated
election year where Trump made border
enforcement a central point of his campaign and had harsh rhetoric for
Mexican immigrants and Muslims.
On the first day of the new legislative
session which is typically reserved
for congratulatory handshakes and
bipartisan photo-ops debate was
heated over Democrats resolutions

urging Trump to continue to issue work
permits to young immigrants brought
to the country as children. More than
740,000 young people are covered by
the program today.
Sen. John Moorlach, a Republican
from Costa Mesa, said he thought it
was the wrong approach for California
to take such an antagonistic tone with
a president who is not even inaugurated
yet.

about Dakota Access pipeline
CANNON BALL, N. D.
Industry leaders are urging
President-elect Donald Trump to
make approval of the disputed
Dakota Access oil pipeline a top
priority when he takes office next
month, while opponents who
have protested the project for
months are vowing to stay put on
their sprawling North Dakota
encampment despite harsh winter
weather and a tribal leaders call to
leave.
The moves come after the Army
declined to issue a permit for the
$3. 8 billion pipeline to cross
under a Missouri River reservoir in
southern North Dakota near the
Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
While the Armys decision doesnt

end the debate over the pipeline,
industry analysts and the chairman
of the Native American tribe thats
led the protests said Monday they
dont expect any developments for
months.
Standing Rock Chairman Dave
Archambault lauded the Armys
decision as taking tremendous
courage, and National Congress
of American Indians President
Brian Cladoosby said it showed
respect for tribal sovereignty.
The Standing Rock tribe
believes the 1,200-mile pipeline
to transport North Dakota oil
through the Dakotas and Iowa to a
shipping point in Illinois threatens drinking water and cultural
sites.

WASHINGTON Presidentelect Donald Trumps plan to use

steep tariffs to punish companies
that move overseas is running
into an obstacle: Congressional
Republicans.
House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy warned Monday that
such an approach could cause a
trade war. A better way to achieve
the goal of keeping companies in
the U.S. and growing jobs would
be to rewrite the tax code and lower
corporate rates, McCarthy said.
I think thats a better way of
solving the problem than getting
into a trade war with a 35 percent
tariff, the California Republican
told reporters at the Capitol.
Weve got to have a level playing

field, that companies in America

can compete on a level playing

now we do not have one.
McCarthys comments came in
response to Trumps threat, made
in a series of tweets over the weekend, that he would level taxes on
companies that relocate overseas
and then try to sell their products
back into the U.S. There will be a
tax on our soon to be strong border of 35 percent for these companies, Trump wrote.

WASHINGTON House and

Senate leaders reached agreement
Monday on a bipartisan bill to
authorize $170 million for Flint,
Michigan, and other cities beleaguered by lead in drinking water,
and to provide relief to drought-
stricken California.
A vote on the water-projects bill
could be held this week as
Congress wraps up its legislative

But the measure was jeopardized

opposed such tariffs as an intrusion on the free market, and it was

just the latest example of Trump
making a statement or coming up
with a plan that flouts GOP orthodoxy.
But Republican leaders are proving reluctant to challenge the
president-elect, and McCarthy
wrangled at some length with
reporters at a pen-and-pad session,
disputing suggestions that he and
others in the party are soft-pedaling long-held beliefs in deference
to Trump.

No experience needed: Trump

taps Carson for HUD secretary

Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up to the media as he arrives at the home of hedge fund
billionaire and campaign donor Robert Mercer.
By accident or design, Trump

signals tougher China policy
By Julie Pace and Matthew Pennington
WASHINGTON Whether by accident or

design, President-elect Donald Trump is signaling a tougher American policy toward
China, sparking warnings from both the
outgoing Obama administration and
Beijing.
On Monday, White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said progress with the Chinese
could be undermined by a flare-up over the
sovereignty of Taiwan, the self-governing
island the U.S. broke diplomatic ties with in
1979. That split was part of an agreement
with China, which claims the island as its
own territory, although the U.S. continues
to sell Taiwan billions in military equipment and has other economic ties.
Trump broke protocol last week by speaking with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen,
then took to Twitter to challenge Chinas
trade and military policies.
Its unclear exactly what the strategic
effort is, Earnest said. Ill leave that to
them to explain.
So far, Trumps advisers have struggled to
explain his action, sending mixed messages
about whether the conversation with
Taiwans leader was a step toward a new policy or simply a congratulatory call.
Incoming White House chief of staff Reince
Priebus said Trump knew exactly what was
happening when he spoke with Tsai, but
Vice President-elect Mike Pence described

the interaction as nothing more than taking a courtesy call of congratulations.
Trump has pledged to be more unpredictable on the world stage, billing the
approach as a much-needed change from
President Barack Obamas deliberative style
and public forecasting about U.S. policy.
But Trumps unpredictability is likely to
unnerve both allies and adversaries, leaving
glaring questions about whether the foreign
policy novice is carrying out planned
strategies or acting on impulse.
Chinas authoritarian government likes
predictability in its dealings with other
nations, particularly the United States. The
U.S. and China are the worlds two largest
economies with bilateral trade in goods and
services reaching nearly $660 billion last
year.
While there have been sharp differences
between Beijing and Washington on
Chinas island building in the South China
Sea and over alleged Chinese cybertheft of
U.S. commercial secrets, the two powers
have cooperated effectively on climate
change and the Iran nuclear deal.
Taiwan split from the Chinese mainland
in 1949. American policy acknowledges the
Chinese view that it has sovereignty over
Taiwan, yet the U.S. considers Taiwans status as unsettled. The U.S. is Taiwans main
source of weapons, with $14 billion in
approved arms sales since 2009.
NEW YORK Donald Trump chose retired

neurosurgeon Ben Carson on Monday to be
secretary of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, raising fresh concerns
about the lack of experience some of
Trumps Cabinet picks have with agencies
theyre now being chosen to lead.
Carson, who opposed Trump in the
Republican primaries, has no background in
government or running a large bureaucracy.
In addition, South Carolina Gov. Nikki
Haley, Trumps choice to be ambassador to
the United Nations, has no foreign policy
experience. Steve Mnuchin, a former
Goldman Sachs partner and Hollywood
executive, is Trumps man to lead the
Treasury Department but has never worked
in government. And retired Gen. James
Mattis, a widely praised battlefield commander, spent decades in the Marines but
now is tapped to run the nations largest
government
agency,
the
Defense
Department, with 740,000 civilian employees in addition to 1.3 million service personnel.

hand recount began on the orders of a federal judge.
President-elect Donald Trump narrowly

House Democratic leader
Nancy Pelosi called him a

with housing issues. Someone who is as
anti-government as him is a strange fit for
housing secretary, to say the least.
Carson would oversee a budget of nearly
$50 billion that provides rental assistance
for more than 5 million households.
Demand for that assistance is high in part
because housing costs are rising faster than
incomes. HUD also promotes home ownership
with
the
Federal
Housing
Administration underwriting about 1 in 6
mortgages issued in the U.S. The agency is
charged with enforcing federal fair housing
laws, too.

European Union populists: Is

the genie out of the bottle?
By Raf Casert
THE HAGUE, Netherland Another crisis

looms in an already shook-up European
Union. Italian voters rocked Europes boat
more this weekend than Austrian voters were
able to steady it. With its shaky banks and
massive economy, Italy is now in the throes
of energized populists who are no friends of
EU leaders in Brussels.
And the storm isnt over yet: Europes
unity and common currency face growing
uncertainty in a raft of upcoming elections,
notably in the Netherlands and France, where
the far-right looms large. And like Italy, both
are founding nations that were at the cradle of
the EU in the 1950s.
Europe in 2017, we all know, will be a disaster, said Giovanni Orsina, a political scientist at the Luiss University in Rome. We
have to expect European paralysis.
Unless EU juggernauts like France and
Germany find ways to turn the tide, it could
leave the defeat of the extremist right wing in
Austrias presidential election on Sunday as a
mere blip on an increasingly muddled screen.
What counts is that the anti-establishment
wave that swept over Britain and then the
United States won another victory Sunday
that could further shake the foundation of the
European Union. Italians rejected constitutional reforms championed by Prime Minister
Matteo Renzi, who had boldly staked his
political future on winning the referendum. To
rub it in, Renzi offered his resignation
against the backdrop of the starry EU flag.
Inside this vote, there is a vote of frustration, discontent punishment, Orsina said
of the unexpectedly large margin of defeat
60 percent from a robust turnout of nearly
70 percent of the electorate.

That was music to the ears of far-right populists like Geert Wilders and his Party for
Freedom in the Netherlands, and Marine Le
Pen and her National Front in France.
Congratulations Italia, Wilders tweeted
early Monday after Renzis defeat at the hands
of Italys anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement and anti-immigrant Northern
League.
When the Dutch go to the polls in March,
Wilders could well be next to ride the mood of
discontent that has trampled the status quo
since the June 23 referendum in Britain
stunned all powers-that-be and forced Britain
to seek an exit from the EU.
The Netherlands has already had two referendums seen as punishing Europe the
country rejected the EUs proposed constitution a dozen years ago and earlier this year
voters rejected a free-trade pact between the
EU and Ukraine a vote that was widely seen
as a rebuke of the blocs policies. Wilders
called that outcome a vote of no confidence
by the people against the elite from
Brussels.
In May, anti-EU Le Pen could well have a
shot at victory in the French presidential
election an outcome which, in this topsyturvy election season, would not be considered as stunning as Donald Trumps win in the
United States. The impact on the frazzled bloc
would be devastating.
Le Pen is already relishing the challenge
and happily watched Sundays implosion of
Italys political establishment.
This Italian No, after the Greek referendum, after Brexit, adds a new populace to the
list of those who want to turn their backs on
absurd European policies that plunge the continent into misery, Le Pen exulted.

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was set to resign on Monday after suffering a crushing defeat
in a referendum over constitutional reform, tipping the euro zones third-largest economy
into political turmoil.
Renzi told to stay put a bit

more; foes press for vote
By Frances DEmilio
ROME Calls mounted rapidly Monday

from populist and other opposition leaders
for quick elections in Italy, seeking to capitalize on Premier Matteo Renzis humiliating defeat in a referendum on governmentchampioned reforms.
The president, though, told Renzi to stay
in office a bit longer until a critical budget
law is passed. Some officials say Parliament
could pass that law as soon as the end of the
week.
With the referendum vote, the Italians
have expressed a clear political signal
the desire to go as soon as possible to elections, wrote Vito Crimi and Danilo
Toninelli, two of the top leaders of the populist, anti-euro, 5-Star Movement in a piece
accompanying the blog of Movement
founder, comic Beppe Grillo.
Barely an hour after the referendum was

resoundingly rejected Sunday by voters,
Renzi announced he would keep his promise
to quit if the measures fail to win popular
muster.
With the defeat plunging Europes fourthlargest economy into political and economic uncertainty, and financial markets seeking reassurances,
President Sergio
Mattarella asked Renzi to hold off on leaving until the budget legislation is passed.
Renzi called on Mattarella at the Quirinal
Palace Monday evening and told the head of
state it was not possible to continue in his
post, after putting the fate of his nearly 3year-old center-left government on the line
in the referendum vote and losing, a palace
statement said.
But, in a decision widely expected,
Mattarella told Renzi to delay his resignation until that task (of the budget law) is
completed.

Letters to the editor

Liberal Democrats
dont live in bubbles
Editor,
In reference to the letter by Mike
Brown (Self-absorbed liberal
Democrats) published in the Daily
Journal Dec. 2, quoting Mr. Brown,
Liberal Democrats live in selfabsorbed, arrogant and pompous bubbles.
As a blue collar worker, I voted for
Hillary Clinton, which, according to
Mike Brown, makes me part of the
arrogant and pompous liberal crowd,
as though Im part of a large monolithic block.
Reading Mr. Browns comments, it
seemed he couldnt nd enough vitriol
adjectives to heap on anyone associated with the Democratic party. I almost
got the impression he was talking
about vermin instead of human beings.
I feel a mood of intolerance has
descended upon our country. There used
to be a time when people listened and
had dialogue about various political
topics not anymore.
Now its about hostile name calling
and demonizing a segment of the
American public because they dont
share your political point of view. Mr.
Browns letter is a good example of
that.

Moral fiber of America

Editor,
I always felt that Americans, or at
least the majority of Americans, had a
strong moral ber that bonded us
together deep down, we all knew
right from wrong, good from bad,
legal from illegal and logical from
illogical. In the 2000 presidential
elections, when the Republicans
cheated, stole the election because of
hanging chads and ended up electing
the worst president and vice president
in the history of America, that moral
ber, in the form of a thick rubber
band, was stretched to almost its limits. But, I had faith in America and my
fellow Americans that we would, as a
whole, persevere and survive. We are
still recovering from the consequences
of Bushs eight years in ofce.
Then, when Barack Obama ran for
president in 2008, I saw on TV the
images of people hanging black painted dummies from trees, as a form of
racism, against Obama. The moral
ber of America was pulled to its
breaking point. I knew right then, that
America was full of racism, bigotry
and ignorance. The biggest group of
racists in our country turned out not to
be the KKK, but rather, the
Republican-controlled Congress.
Now, here we are in the 2016 elec-

What does make Trump racist?

Editor,
I read the letter The KKKs support
doesnt make Trump racist by Howard
Welch in the Nov. 29 edition of the
Daily Journal. True, being endorsed by
the KKK does not make you a racist or
bigot, any more than being endorsed
by white supremacists, white nationalists or any other hate group does. Its
how you comport yourself, how you
speak, your beliefs and your actions
that dene you.From the rst day
Donald J. Trump announced his run for
the job of president of the United
States, he has shown the world and the
American people exactly who he is
and what he believes. He has spoken
about his opinion of Mexicans,
African-Americans, women, Muslims,
the media, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
his perceived opponents.Its those
actions, words and beliefs, spoken out
in interviews and acted on over his
adult life, that make president-elect
Donald J. Trump a racist, bigot and
misogynist.

America great again

Editor,
It seems thatthis election is to
Make America Great Again. Since
there wasnt a reference to when
America was great, we can only
assume the 1950s.
I guess that meanswecan look forward to no minimum wage, no overtime, no 40-hour work week, no
health insurance, no Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), thus no
clean water, no clean air and the list
could go on.
What this election really shows is
that we need only two months for campaigning. Start the election cycle after
Labor Day and run until the November
Election Day. We need to have ve
non-mainstream reporters interrogate
the candidates three times so that we
get know who and what we are voting
for. It will be an interesting four years.

Refuting Self-absorbed
liberal Democrats
Editor,
In counterpoint to Mike Browns
letter (in the Friday, Dec. 2, edition of
The Daily Journal) entitled Selfabsorbed liberal Democrats, he is
entitled to his opinions, but certainly
not his facts.
His rst declaration was Presidentelect Trump won in a landslide. Logic
would dictate a loss of the popular
vote by 2.5 million (and rising) is not
a landslide, much less a mandate.
His second factual pronouncement,
citing the Economist, that 80 percent
of America is Republican, cannot be
defended by any reasonable measurement of our equally divided America
where the Republican portion is likely
closer to 45 percent.
Mr. Browns diatribe of all liberals
living in a bubble is absurd on its
face. No self-respecting liberal would
describe all conservatives as living in
a bubble simply because they are in
opposition. Finally, he says, How
you lose shows your character, or lack
thereof. One could rightly ascribe the
same barometer as to how you win.

Heaven on Earth
D
oes life end the day we die? It is the single greatest question mankind has confronted since the
dawn of its inception more than 200,000 years
ago. Within this one question lies two potential answers
that fundamentally shape our perspectives and understanding of life itself.
I rst confronted this difcult question at the age of 10
when I lost my beloved grandmother to a hard-fought battle with cancer. The pastor conducting her eulogy spoke
with a contagious passion and jubilation, proclaiming
with certainty the existence of a heavenly place far
beyond our physical realm.
Reading from the book of
Revelations, he declared that in
this heavenly realm, the mortal
curses plaguing you and me
albeit sorrow, mourning, pain,
fear, anxiety and sickness
would completely cease to be.
Our fears, he proclaimed, would
be replaced by an unspeakable
love; our anxiety replaced with
a peace surpassing all understanding; and our tears
exchanged for eternal joy. For
Jonathan Madison
many years, this was the only
denition of heaven for which I found comfort in adopting a realm that can only be veried after we take our
nal exhale. A heaven without proof.
With maturity, I found a passage in the book of
Matthew that completely changed my understanding. In
Jesus Sermon on the Mount, he teaches his followers to
pray by urging Gods Kingdom to be experienced on
Earth as it is in heaven. Upon reading this passage, I
wrestled with how we, mere mortals, could experience
heaven on Earth.
After conducting research, I learned that the term heaven is derived from the ancient word heofon, which is
interpreted to mean an all encompassing state of joy
wholly independent of material and mundane rewards or
concerns. In essence, heaven means to be in a state of
perfect love. It is the all empowering manifestation of a
climatic and jubilant experience for which no words can
describe. This state is more than the trillions of atoms
composing our human bodies. More than the billions of
neurons making possible our brain activity. It is the
intangible love that brings us to an emotional state of
peace and solicitude for all life.
Love itself is evidence of heaven manifested here on
Earth. If you want proof of heaven, look no further than
the joy you have experienced from one who deeply loves
you. Look no further than the love you have shared
toward beloved friends and family members, and the care
with which you place toward others. Look no further than
the indescribable love a mother has for her child.
Consider the forgiveness we are given in life when we
least deserve it. Think of the helpful hand we are given
by those who are not obligated to do so. Consider the joy
in witnessing the miracle of a childs birth the glamour in the toddlers eyes as they wince open for the rst
time. The intimate embrace of your beloved partner or
spouse during the exchange of sacred vows. The inexplicable rejoice in witnessing your childs rst step.
Taking it one step further, consider the heavenly experiences we take for granted daily. Take the miracle of your
life. Consider the fact that you woke up this morning
when about 90,000 others in our nation were not as fortunate. Consider that as we speak, your heart continues to
supply blood to thousands of vessels in your body,
pumping 115,000 beats per day without ceasing.
Finally, there is the heaven you and I personally bring
here on Earth our dreams, visions and purpose. Jesus
explained in Matthew 5:14 that in spite of the aws
intrinsic to our humanity, that each of us possess an everlasting light a piece of heaven, if you will. This passage demonstrates that, despite our inevitable shortcomings that come with being human, each and every one of
us possesses a ame in the darkness of our ever-changing
world. With that light, we have the power to manifest
heaven on Earth toward one another in this lifetime.
I do not naively suggest that heaven is the only experience we have on Earth. In what appears to be one of the
darkest of times in our nations history, it is often difcult to nd a light with which to rejoice.
Nevertheless, I truly believe that heaven lives within
each and everyone of us. And, if we are willing to share
it, we can experience heaven on Earth daily. This is what
Jesus meant when he urged that heaven be experienced on
Earth that each of us would do our best to share our
gifts, visions and purposes to uplift and love one another. This, I would say, is proof of heaven on Earth.

Bank stocks help Dow to another record

By Marley Jay
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK U.S. stocks

resumed their climb Monday as
investors bought stocks that stand
to benefit from economic growth,
like banks, as well as technology
companies, which have been
mostly left out of a post-election
rally. The Dow Jones industrial set
another record high.
Energy companies rose as the
price of oil reached its highest
level since July 2015. Small-company stocks continued to outpace
the rest of the market. Technology
companies have fallen since the
election as big names like
Facebook and Alphabet have lost
ground. But that changed Monday.
Samantha Azzarello, global market strategist for JPMorgan Asset
Management, said investors have
been steadily moving money away
from safe-play stocks over the
past year and favoring companies
that stand to do the best when economic growth picks up steam, as it
did in the third quarter. Azzarello
said investors expect that trend to
continue.
Weve had 2 to 2.5 percent
growth in the U.S. and we expect
that to pop even higher if we get
fiscal stimulus, she said.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 45.82 points, or 0.2 percent, to 19,216.24. Earlier it went
as high as 19,274. The Standard &
Poors 500 index climbed 12.76
points, or 0.6 percent, to

U.S. services firms grow at fastest pace since October 2015

By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON U.S. services

companies expanded last month
at their fastest pace in more than
a year, an encouraging sign for
the economy.
The Institute for Supply
Management, a trade organization of purchasing managers,
said Monday that its services

index reached 57.2 in November,
up from 54.8 in October and the
highest level since it hit 58.3 in
October 2015. Anything above
50 signals growth.
The services industry has now
grown for 82 straight months.
Fourteen services industries
reported growth last month; only
two contracted. The ISM says
services companies reported that

production, hiring and new
export orders all grew faster than
they did in October.
The continued gain in the ISMs
index points to possible economic gains ahead because services
companies represent a significant chunk of the U.S. economy,
accounting for over 70 percent of
nonfarm U.S. jobs.

Klay becomes first Warrior in over 40 years to score 60

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Klay Thompson had an

NBA season-high and career-best 60 points
for the highest-scoring performance by a
Golden State player in more than 42 years,
and the Warriors whipped the Indiana Pacers
142-106 on Monday night.
Warriors 142, Pacers 106

Thompson raised his arms to encourage
more of those steady KLAY! KLAY!
KLAY! chants then let it fly again and
again. He had 60 through three and called it
a night, sitting down with 1:22 left in the
period as fans jumped to their feet for an
extended standing ovation.
He scored 40 by halftime in just 18-plus

minutes.
Thompson joined Hall of Famers Wilt
Chamberlain, Rick Barry and Joe Fulks as
the only Warriors to score 60 points. Barry
was the last to do so, going off for 64 on
March 26, 1974, against Portland.
Thompson shot 21 for 33 and 8 of 14 on

Ive realized that, Houghton said. Not having practice after school, that was a shock. It
was weird for all of us. It was like we dont
know what to do with our time.
Menlo-Atherton senior Jacqueline DiSanto
still hasnt had to contend with that feeling.
While her Lady Bears lost in the CIF Division
I state volleyball championship, they still
made program history by advancing to the
state title match for the second consecutive
oy, the athletic programs at the

three high schools in the town
of Atherton have been an example of the rich getting richer.
OK, pardon the pun, but the triumvirate
of Menlo-Atherton, Menlo School and
Sacred Heart Prep have certainly put on a
show of athletic dominance this fall. In
the six fall sports in which the three
schools compete, they have combined for
one state title, two Northern California
championships, three Central Coast
Section titles and 11 league crowns.
There are also three CCS runner-up nishes: the Menlo and M-A boys water
polo teams, as well
as the Menlo football team.
The Menlo
School girls volleyball team
accounts for the
lone state title
thus far sweeping Point LomaSan Diego in the
Division IV championship game
Saturday morning.
The M-A football team, which won the
CCS Open Division I title two Fridays
ago, is still in the hunt for both a Nor
Cal and state title. The Bears will take a
step toward both of those Friday night in
a Nor Cal regional bowl game. The winner will get a spot in the state bowl
championship series.
M-A volleyball came up short for the
second year in a row in trying to win a
state title. Theyll just have to be satised with an undefeated run in the
Peninsula Athletic League and a Northern
California Division I title. Ho hum.
The schools water polo teams proved
that there may not be more talent in a
smaller area than Atherton. The Menlo
School and SHP boys teams each won
their regular-season titles and doubled
down with league tournament titles as
well. To the surprise of no one, both
schools met in the CCS Division II nals,
with the Gators beating the Knights again
for a sixth-straight CCS crown. The M-A

An apropos swan song

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its always a surreal feeling for a senior athlete, the first day back to school following
the end of a sports season that feeling
when theres no more practices to attend, no
more games to be played.
That feeling, no matter what a team has
accomplished even when those accomplishments tend towards the historic is
ultimately tinged with melancholy.
Menlo School senior Jessica Houghton and

her Lady Knights wrapped up their season
Saturday by capturing the CIF Division IV
state volleyball championship at Oranges
Santiago Canyon College, the first in program
history. The wild postgame celebration and
ensuing party at Disneyland later that evening
was a heck of way for the fourth-year varsity
senior to say goodbye to an illustrious career.
Then Monday after school that surreal feeling hit Houghton.

Houghtons road back to state finals
The long road back to the state championship was no easy one for Menlo though.
Entering into this Houghtons senior season,
she was the only player remaining from that
2013 squad. Add to the mix former head coach
Steve Cavella departing and new coach Marco
Paglialunga taking over, the Knights didnt
know what outcome to expect, even as West
Bay Athletic League play started.
But a crazy thing happened in the first round
of WBAL Foothill Division play. With league
newcomer Notre Dame-Belmont the 2015
CIF Division IV state champs transferring
from the West Catholic Athletic League, the
Knights had their work cut out for them to
remain in power coming off four straight
league titles.
While Notre Dame ultimately ran the table
in league to win the Foothill crown, Menlo
not only finished in a second-place tie with
Sacred Heart Prep, the Knights were the only
team to take Notre Dame to five sets in an allout brawl on the first league meeting between
the two Sept. 22.
I definitely think our first game against
Notre Dame was when we saw our potential and
saw how good we can be when we play really
good competition, Houghton said. So, thats
when we first realized what we could do.
As a freshman in 2013, Houghton was the

baby of a varsity squad that advanced to the
first state title match in program history.
While the Knights ultimately lost out on that
state championship, it was a special year for
Houghton, who went into the season thinking
she had no chance to make the varsity team.
Since then, Houghton has transitioned from
defensive specialist, to a six-rotation outside
hitter, then returned to the back row fulltime
this season as a libero. She certainly found her
niche there. She went on to rank seventh in the
Central Coast Section and 15th among
statewide Division IV programs with 449 digs.
Following Houghtons sophomore season,
prior to her donning the liberos jersey fulltime for Menlo, she got the opportunity to
anchor the position for her 16-and-under club
team at Vision. She actually played with
DiSanto that season. And with both serving
predominantly as back-row players, DiSanto
took note of a lot of Houghtons cat-like
defensive instincts.
Watching her play libero, I think I learned
a lot from her because she has a lot of energy,
DiSanto said. So I think I learned a lot from
her that year.
Paulie Ferrari made his varsity debut one to

remember with 25 points against Monta Vista.
captain recorded his second double-double
of the season in a 53-39 win over Soquel,
totaling 22 points and 13 rebounds. He also
nabbed six steals and three blocks.
Paul i e Ferrari , Burl i ng ame bo y s
bas ketbal l . The senior shooting guard,
who sat out last season recovering from
elbow surgery, had quite the varsity debut.
During the Panthers 59-50 season-opening
win over Monta Vista-Cupertino, Ferrari
drained seven 3-pointers on his way to a 25point night.
DiSantos unique stature for OH

With Houghton standing 5-8, she actually
has two inches on the 5-6 DiSanto. Despite
her stature though, DiSanto proved one of the
best outside hitters in the CCS over the past
two seasons. This year she ranked sixth in
the CCS in total kills and earned her second
consecutive Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division Most Valuable Player nod.
Many, including Houghton, are mystified
by DiSantos ups and power-packed hitting
ability.
Shes so talented, I dont understand it,
Houghton said. Especially playing outside
for M-A, shes got a ton better too.
When DiSanto arrived at M-A, she was
uncertain shed even be able to compete at
the high school level. And playing outside hitter, let alone shining at the position, didnt seem realistic.
Now the senior is committed to play as a
defensive specialist at University of Michigan.
But dont be surprised if she ends up playing
more DS than libero, as it would allow her to
show off the occasional back-row swing.
In terms of volleyball, I totally admire
here, Houghton said. Shes so talented in
so many different aspects.

Raiders prepare for showdown vs. Chiefs Villanova
return to No. 1
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders will

have little time to prepare for their biggest
game in 14 years.
The Raiders (10-2) didnt get much of a
chance to savor their sixth straight victory
before turning their attention Monday to an
AFC West showdown
against the Chiefs (9-3)
on Thursday night in
Kansas City.
Instead of taking their
usual Monday off for the
players, the Raiders were
back on the practice field
preparing for a rematch
Jack Del Rio with the Chiefs that will
play a big part in determining which team wins the division.
Were going to be excited to play,
coach Jack Del Rio said. Thats how were
looking at it. Tough set of circumstances.
We dont mind tough things, so were looking forward to the challenge.
The Raiders have handled a number of
schedule challenges already this season as
they are off to their best start since 2000
and poised to end a 13-year playoff
drought.
They opened the season with three road
games with early starts in the first four
weeks and won all of them. They spent a
week practicing in Florida between road
games at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay and
swept the trip. They bounced back from an
overtime win over the Buccaneers to beat
Denver the following week. They won a
game in the high altitude at Mexico City
and came back on a short week to beat a

well-rested Carolina squad.
Now comes the trip to Kansas City, where
the Raiders will try to snap a four-game losing streak against the Chiefs, including a
26-10 loss at home in October.
The physical part, just recovering and
getting guys to do everything they can to
get back to neutral and feel good, safety
Nate Allen said when asked about the challenges of a short week. Even the mental
part is big. Something youd have four or
five days to study a team, you have two
days. Everybody has to go over the top
with everything preparing mentally and
physically.
With the Chiefs already winning once
against Oakland, a second victory would
give them a potential tiebreaker and mean
the Raiders would need help to win the division. An Oakland win would give the
Raiders a two-game lead in the AFC West
with three remaining.
Both teams head into the game on a roll,

with the Raiders having won six in a row
and the Chiefs taking seven of eight. Both
have a penchant for coming from behind
this season, with Oakland posting six
fourth-quarter comebacks and Kansas City
four.
The good teams find a way to win and
theyve done that as well, Del Rio said.
Both teams know what it looks like to
win. Should be a great game.

Purdue turns to Jeff Brohm to end woes

By Michael Marot
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Jeff

Brohms welcome party at Purdue was
full of fanfare, with a pep band, cheerleaders, the school mascot and boosters
all celebrating the arrival of the
Boilermakers new coach.
Now its up to Brohm to inject excitement into the program and get fans back
in the seats at Ross-Ade Stadium. Some
wins would sure help, too.
All it took to lure Brohm away from
Western Kentucky was a six-year contract worth an average of approximately
$3.5 million per year, the promise of
upgrades inside the program and a chance
to put Purdue back on

the national stage.
Purdue to me has
always been a program that plays an
exciting brand of
football, Brohm
said. When I was
growing up, they
threw the
ball
Jeff Brohm
around. They scored
points. They competed against some of
the best teams in the Big Ten each and
every year, and they were exciting to
watch. As a fan, you like to see teams
that score points and do some fun
things.
Thats exactly the playbook he is
bringing to West Lafayette after using it

to compile a 30-10 record over the last
three seasons at Western Kentucky. The
offense averaged 44.6 points and 526.2
yards and his quarterbacks completed
69.2 percent of their passes, threw for
356.6 yards per game and a total of 131
touchdowns.
New athletic director Mike Bobinski
thought Brohm was the perfect fit at a
school dubbed the Cradle of
Quarterbacks and one that has a returning starter in David Blough.
The new style will be a stark contrast

Blatter loses appeal against 6-year FIFA ban

By Graham Dunbar
GENEVA Sepp Blatter lost his

appeal against a six-year ban by
FIFA on Monday, and now has more
serious legal cases lined up against
him.
Blatter said in a statement it was
difficult to accept the Court of
Arbitration for Sports verdict, but
that the way the case progressed,
no other verdict could be expected.
The former FIFA president, who
was banned for approving a $2 million payment to Michel Platini in
2011, said he will accept the decision. He could have pursued a fur-
LOUNGE
Division I tournament. The SHP
girls won their regular-season title
and, after falling to St. Francis in
the West Catholic Athletic League
tournament, rebounded to win
their 10th consecutive CCS title.
The Menlo and M-A girls tennis teams, once again, dominated
their respective leagues in winning division titles in undefeated
fashion.
The amount of talent and success in the Atherton area is mindboggling. A combination of
genetics (youd be surprised how
many of these athletes come from
former professional and Olympiccaliber players and athletes),
smarts and strong coaching certainly plays a hand and, while
ther appeal at
Swi t zerl an ds
supreme court.
I have experienced much in
my 41 years in
FIFA. I mostly
learned that you
can win in
Sepp Blatter sport, but you
can also lose,
Blatter said. Nevertheless I look
back with gratitude to all the years,
in which I was able to realize my
ideals for football and serve FIFA.
The verdict ends Blatters hopes
of becoming honorary president of
the soccer body he left in disgrace
in February. He must also pay FIFA

a fine of 50,000 Swiss francs
($49,500).
Still, his legal problems are far
from over.
Blatter faces a separate FIFA
ethics investigation into suspected
bribery linked to multi-million dollar bonuses in top executives contracts. Swiss prosecutors also
opened criminal proceedings
against Blatter for the Platini payment, and a sale of World Cup television rights.
He is also a stated target of
American federal prosecutors in
their sprawling investigation of
corruption linked to international
soccer officials, and an expected

witness in a separate Swiss probe
of German organizers of the 2006
World Cup.
Blatter denies any wrongdoing.
The three-member CAS panel
was judging whether Blatter was
guilty of unethically offering a
cash gift and conflict of interest
with Platini, who was a FIFA vice
president in 2011.
Blatter and Platini both said the
$2 million was uncontracted
salary based on a verbal agreement
more than a decade earlier. From
1999 to 2002, the former France
great was the newly elected
Blatters presidential adviser.
many outside the area may be getting a little sick reading about so
many athletes and teams from
those three schools, you certainly
have to admire the sheer amount
of success they have put together.

The Northern California regional football bowl games were
announced Sunday and the two
county squads still eligible

Serra (9-4), which captured the
CCS Open Division II crown, will
be on the road in the Central

Saturday.
If youve never been to Sanger,

While this game may be a little
bit out of the Daily Journals coverage area, I couldnt help but
comment on those who thought
DLS reign as the best in Northern
California may had come to an
end when the Spartans took on
Freedom-Oakley in the North
Coast Section Open Division
championship game.
The arguments sounded good.
DLS was rebuilding this year and

struggled at times during the regular season. Freedom, meanwhile,
was putting together the best season in school history going
undefeated and if there was to
be a Hollywood ending for the
Falcons, they were poised to do
just that with an upset of the
mighty Spartans.
Please. Come talk to me when a
team from Northern California
actually beats DLS which hasnt happened since the 1991 NCS
Division I championship game.
DLS proved it is still the class of
the Bay Area with a 42-7 dismantling of a previously unbeaten
Freedom squad.

The payment amounted to an

undue gift as it had no contractual
basis, CAS said in a statement.
Blatter said Monday it was
incomprehensible that his version was not accepted in spite of
my testimony to the contrary and
the testimony given by other witnesses.
However, that explanation of a
salary deal has now been doubted
by three sets of judges at FIFA and
CAS.
The FIFA ethics committee
investigated after the payment
emerged in September 2015 during
the wider Swiss federal probe of
FIFA.

Police: Fake news story led gunman to popular D.C. pizzeria

By Matthew Barakat and Jessica Gresko
boring businesses all the way to the White

House about the real life dangers of fake news
on the internet. One of those posting on the
conspiracy theory is the son of Presidentelect Donald Trumps proposed national security adviser.
White House Spokesman Josh Earnest,
asked about the shooting Monday, said,
Theres no denying the corrosive effect that
some of these false reports have had on our
political debate ... Its deeply troubling that
some of those false reports could lead to violence.
Edgar Maddison Welch, 28 of Salisbury,
North Carolina, was arrested Sunday afternoon outside the popular eatery in an affluent
capital neighborhood, police said.
At a first appearance Monday in D.C.
Superior Court, Welch appeared handcuffed in
WASHINGTON The bizarre rumors

began with a leaked email referencing
Hillary Clinton and sinister interpretations
of references to pizza parties. It morphed
into fake online news stories about a child
sex trafficking ring run by prominent
Democrats operating out of a Washington,
D.C., pizza joint.
On Sunday, it culminated in violence when
police say a North Carolina man fired an
assault rifle multiple times inside the Comet
Ping Pong restaurant as he attempted to selfinvestigate the conspiracy theory known in
the Twitterverse as Pizzagate.
No one was hurt and the man was arrested.
But the shooting alarmed those from neigh-
a white jumpsuit and was ordered held pending a hearing Thursday. A public defender representing him didnt immediately respond to
an email seeking comment.
Comets owner, James Alefantis, said in a
statement Sunday night: Let me state
unequivocally: These stories are completely
and entirely false, and there is no basis in fact
to any of them. What happened today demonstrates that promoting false and reckless conspiracy theories comes with consequences.
Still, at least one person clinging to the
conspiracy theories is prominently connected to Trumps transition team. Michael Flynn
Jr. is an adviser to his father, Michael Flynn,
whom Trump selected to serve as national
security adviser.
Flynn Jr. has sent numerous posts on
Twitter about the Pizzagate conspiracy theo-
ries. Flynn Jr., who has accompanied his

father to presidential transition meetings
inside Trump Tower and lists the presidential
transition website as part of his Twitter bio,
tweeted Sunday night that, Until
(hash)Pizzagate proven to be false, itll
remain a story.
Trumps team had no immediate response to
questions about the conspiracy theory or the
younger Flynns role in the transition.
Welch was charged on multiple counts,
including assault with a dangerous weapon.
Police recovered an AR-15 rifle, a Colt .38
handgun, a shotgun and a folding knife.
At an address listed for Welch in Salisbury,
a woman drove out as a reporter was
approaching and asked him to leave. She
then hammered a no trespassing sign on a
stand by the private driveway.

citys current character into the future and others who

embrace a more ambitious growth plan, said Gardiner.
We hear multiple opinions on one hand, Burlingame
is a very desirable community and people are very rightfully protective of the character of the community. Some people would just as soon see as little change as possible, he
said. Others may see there are certain areas of the community that are appropriate for changes, and there are other
areas that should be more protected.
One area of the city potentially ripe for change is near the
northern border of the city, next to the Bay Area Rapid
Transit Station in neighboring Millbrae, which city officials have suggested might be appropriate for development
of new housing, according to a city report.
Officials had previously discussed opening up the area
east of Highway 101 along the Bayfront for construction of
new homes but Gardiner said momentum has stalled for that
idea.
There is interest in seeing what more can be done on the
Bayfront regarding community uses to invigorate the area,
but the consensus was housing would not be one of those
uses, he said.
Instead, the area will continue to be reserved for commercial development, according to a proposed land use map,
supporting a variety of proposals to construct hundreds of
thousands of square feet of office space along the waterfront.
Gardiner said officials are hopeful to rejuvenate a portion
of the area to accommodate recreational uses, citing the
interest of a local foundation to redevelop city property at
the Burlingame Golf Center site into an ice skating center.
Some of the developers proposing commercial projects
have also expressed a willingness to build more parks and
open space near the Bayfront as well.
Looking ahead to the upcoming session, Gardiner said he
did not anticipate much of the discussion would circulate
around the proposed land use map, but instead suggested it
would focus of the effort to identify reasonable growth targets as the city prepares for the environmental review stage
of the general plan update.
A consulting firm will generate a proposed growth rate
according to a variety of factors traditionally influencing
residential and economic development. Gardiner though
said he expected residents to be critical of the proposed rate
as it would likely be too ambitious, which in turn would
require the community to come up with a more appropriate
target.
As Burlingame examines its future, Gardiner said a part of
the discussion will demand keeping an eye to existing
infrastructure and environmental limitations such as space
in local school classrooms, water supply, traffic demand,
sewer system capacity and more.
For the purposes of the environmental review process, it
is best to consider the potential effects of more growth than
the volume likely to be supported by the community,
according to a city report.
At the adoption of the general plan, the community
would not be able to decide to choose a greater amount of
growth than the buildout scenario evaluated in the EIR,
according to the report. From this perspective, the growth
scenario in the EIR should be considered an upper limit or
maximum growth scenario for purposes of study, but with
the understanding that the community may choose a more
modest amount of growth when the plan is adopted.
Gardiner said he understands the implications of residential and economic growth are likely too far reaching to be
fully addressed during the study session, but he is hopeful
some clarity may be established for officials in the planning process.
Part of our intention at the upcoming meeting is not to
settle the issue, but to arrive at an approach to determining
what the upper limits of growth may be, he said.
The Burlingame City Council study session begins 7
p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, in City Hall, at 501 Primrose Road.

McConnell cautions replacement to health law to take time

By Bruce Schreiner
LOUISVILLE, Ky. The next

Congress will begin work immediately
next year toward repealing President
Barack Obamas health care law but
delay the changes as Republicans try
to come up with an alternative, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said
Saturday.
The Kentucky Republican insisted
that some 20 million Americans who
have health care through the six-yearold law will not lose coverage, though
the likely upheaval in the insurance
industry suggests many could.
Asked about the Senates timetable
to scrap the law, McConnell said:
Were going to move to it after we go
back in the first week in January.
But during a speech in his hometown
of Louisville, the senator cautioned
patience from the laws critics as
Republicans create an alternative.
You cant just snap your fingers and
go from where we are today to where
were headed, McConnell told a crowd
at the Kentucky Farm Bureaus annual
meeting. This has to be done carefully. It has to be done in a phased-in way
over a period of time.
Republicans have been unable to
agree on an alternative since the laws
enactment in 2010, but now must produce a replacement if they scrap the
law. President-elect Donald Trump says
he would like to keep major elements
of the law allowing children to
remain on their parents plans until
age 26 and ensuring companies dont
deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. But its unclear how a new ver-
sion of the law could force insurance

companies to provide the latter coverage.
With open enrollment underway, no
changes are expected next year for the
more than 10 million people currently
covered through HealthCare.gov and
state markets that offer subsidized private insurance. An additional estimated 9 million low-income people covered by Medicaid in states that expanded the program are also protected for
now.
McConnell said Saturday that
Republicans have an obligation to
repeal and replace a law he called a
monstrosity. He blamed the law for
rising co-payments, deductibles and
premiums and said it caused chaos in
the private health insurance market.
We have an obligation to the
American people to straighten this
out, he said. But he said replacing the
law will be challenging given the fact
that its been kicking in for six years.
Meanwhile, McConnell played down
prospects for any new trade deals.
Specifically, he said the Trans-Pacific
Partnership wont pass Congress
because politically its unsustainable. Trumps tough talk on trade has
included a threat to pull the United
States out of the trade deal.
As a practical matter, we will not be
doing any trade agreements anytime
soon, said McConnell, a trade proponent.
On other subjects, McConnell:

Said he hopes Trump takes quick
action once in office to roll back
Obama administration regulations that
he said slowed economic growth.
Weve been working with the tran-
REUTERS
Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell speaks during a new conference following party policy
lunch meeting at the U.S. Capitol,
sition team on all the things he can
begin on his own to produce relief on,
McConnell said. Some will take
longer than others. But we intend to
begin to dismantle this regulatory
nightmare thats ... kept us from reaching our potential.
Attributed increased Republican
dominance in rural America to the
unpopularity of Obama and his policies.
McConnell called last months election a comeback for rural areas as the
GOP retained control of Congress and
won back the White House.
All across rural America, theres a
sea of red because our friends on the
other side have become an urban-oriented party, he said.

City? What are your concerns about living in Redwood City? and What are your
hopes for Redwood City?
This weekends parties are part of the
Redwood City Conversations project,
which earlier this year hosted a Post-It Party
in October and a World Caf-style meeting
in November. Warren Dale, who has served
on the Redwood City Civic and Cultural
Commission for 13 years, is leading this
years efforts to engage the community in
determining Redwood Citys next steps.
We wanted to make sure were holding
discussions that access as many people as
possible, people who vary in terms of economic situations, he said. What we asked
ourselves was How could we access the wisdom of the community?
The Post-It Parties offer a drop-in
avenue for visitors to post their ideas on
sticky notes on three boards while the
World Caf-style forums organize attendees
in small groups to discuss their thoughts to
these questions. Dale, who facilitates these
meetings, asks the groups to collect
responses to these questions. They are later

continue that delivery of care, said Warren
Slocum, president of the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors.
But recognizing BlueMountain could opt
to ditch the hospitals nonprofit status, the
county plans to retain its ability to seek
partial reimbursements.
According to terms outlined by the state,
BlueMountain has the option to purchase
the hospitals between 2018 and 2030, then
potentially run them for a profit. Based on
the countys contract, if the hospitals were
to lose their nonprofit status before 2030,
BlueMountain must repay the county,
according to the report. The reimbursement
amount decreases over the years, so the
longer the hospital is maintained as a nonprofit, the less BlueMountain would have to
repay should it opt to take over.
Slocum noted its not yet clear what the
future holds and the contract provides some
assurances.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
asked to present their findings to the larger

audience, one by one, until all of the ideas
have been presented and noted.
Eric Lochtefeld, co-owner of the Fox
Theatre, finds the solutions-oriented
approach to these conversations refreshing.
As an entrepreneur that wants to see
progress in Redwood City, I am hopeful that
the forums are creating solutions to problems, he said.
He noted that previous attempts to gauge
public opinion have at times elicited more
complaints than ideas for progress.
Ill be in consensus that parking is a
problem, he said. But what Im really
interested in is what we are hoping to
achieve.
For Dale, the key to helping the community identify problems and possible solutions is to keep these conversations as
open-ended as possible. He said his efforts
lie in starting conversations on what is
already available and how he and city officials can put a coalition of people together
to craft solutions out of these resources.
People are thinking outside the box
right now, thinking of ideas Ive not heard
before. When you stretch the box, something becomes possible, he said.
So far, Octobers Post-It Party drew around
50 attendees and Novembers World-Caf

forum drew 75 attendees. From these past
two events, Dale said housing, roads and
traffic patterns have emerged as projects on
which community members want to focus.
Many have expressed satisfaction with the
citys economic and cultural diversity, as
well as the strides the city has made in
enhancing its downtown and arts experiences.
When asked about creative solutions that
attendees have contributed thus far, Dale
was steadfast in his open-ended approach.
The reason Im not giving you specific
examples because I dont want to prejudice
people coming in, he said.
City officials like Vice Mayor Ian Bain
are eager to get a sense of the community
pulse. Shortly after he joined the City
Council, he and other councilmembers got
wind of a need for more open engagement
with the community.
We heard that people were feeling like
they havent been as involved in city decisions as theyd like. Wed like to understand
where theyre coming from, Bain said.
Though they are enthusiastic about what
these conversations will uncover, councilmembers are careful to preserve the community atmosphere at Dales meetings.
We are deliberately taking a step back so
that the community can have these dialogues, said Bain. We really didnt want
councilmembers to overshadow these dialogues.
Mayor John Seybert attended but did not
participate in Novembers forum.
I recognized less than a third of the people, which I took as a good sign. There was
a good mix of people, ages, backgrounds,
really good dialogue in a healthy sense.
People were listening, sharing, there was a
real sense of dialogue, he said.
Dale is in the process of planning three
World Caf-style meetings for January and
is hoping to engage new neighborhoods in
this effort, including Fair Oaks, Redwood
Shores and the Veterans Center area. He
plans to present his findings to the City
Council following those meetings to identify common themes for the community and
the council to discuss going forward.
And while identifying problems and solutions is a priority for this effort, for Dale,
building trust in the community is as significant an outcome.
That trust is what I call a trust in increments. [The community is] saying, yes,
that looks good, lets see what you do with
it, he said. Its not blind trust but its
constantly monitored. Its up to the council
and the community to work together.
The devils in the details, Slocum said.

Whether or not its sold remains to be
seen, but I think its good for the county to
have that clause in the contract.
If the board approves the deal, the county
would offer up to $5 million for each of the
next three fiscal years. Similarly, if the hospital were to cease being a nonprofit,
BlueMountain would have four years to pay
the county back, according to the report.
Seton Medical Center spokeswoman Jane
Brust said the hospital has requested the
countys assistance to support an essential
seismic upgrade project.
As a nonprofit hospital committed to
serving the needs of the local community,
Seton Medical Center believes this vital
seismic upgrade will enable us to continue
our mission of providing quality care to all
those in our community, Brust wrote in an
email.
BlueMountain agreed to contribute up to
$260 million to keep the hospitals afloat
and was required to assist with $180 million
in capital improvements at the six facilities. It was also ordered to keep Seton
Coastside operating for at least 10 years as
a skilled nursing facility with 24-hour emergency care one of the few along the county coastline. A prior buyer that set its sights
on the Daughters of Charity system backed
out after the state laid out other conditions.
The negotiations were considered the
largest and most complex nonprofit hospital transaction in Californias history and
included facilities in Daly City, Moss
Beach, San Jose, Gilroy, Lynwood and Los
Angeles.
potential beneficiaries of sales tax revenue.

In November voters approved Measure K,
a continuation of the current half-cent sales
tax that will raise an estimated $80 million
annually through 2043. During that push,
supporters primarily advocated the measure
as necessary to help tackle the affordable
housing crisis. However, funding health
care needs for low-income earners and supporting Setons seismic upgrades were also
highlighted as reasons voters should favor
the tax.
Slocum, a proponent of Measure A who
first won election in 2012, noted voters
favor toward efforts to fund facilities and
programs that provide vital services to residents.
Part of what Measure A and Measure K
were about was to fill in some of these
gaps, Slocum said. And this is certainly
an important gap to fill and keep that open
so people can get the health care they
need.
Although Seton has a new leader, the

countys $15 million contribution toward
improvements culminates a commitment
made more than four years ago. The funds
come from Measure A, the countywide halfcent sales tax voters approved in 2012.
Proponents pushed the measure as a way to
help fund seismic upgrades at Seton and the
hospital itself helped bankroll a nearly
$1.4 million campaign supporting the new
tax.
As a general tax, the funds could not be
earmarked toward specific projects but officials cited Seton and low-income health care
needs as a critical goal. Recently, proponents again cited the hospitals as vital

N.Y. tweaks medical pot law; still no talk of legalization

By David Klepper
ALBANY, N.Y. New York is

loosening restrictions in its nearly year-old medical marijuana law
but, to the dismay of some pot
advocates, there is no sign the
state is in any hurry to join eight
other states in embracing full
legalization.
Among the latest to do so are
two in the Northeast
Massachusetts and Maine and
the huge state of California. Still,
Gov. Andrew Cuomo remains a
skeptic of outright recreational
use and legalization faces challenges in the Legislature too.
Its unlikely to happen in the
short term, predicted physician
Kyle Kingsley, chairman of Vireo
Health, one of five companies
selected under New Yorks law to
grow and sell cannabis for medical
uses. But I do think whats going
on in Massachusetts, it helps
knock down the stigma ... I think
its inevitable. Its just a matter of
time.
New Yorks medical marijuana
law still has some of the strictest
rules among the more than 20
states that allow medical pot.
Among its requirements: that pot
products cant be dispensed in
smokeable form and that physicians complete a training course
to approve the drug for patients.
So far, 750 physicians have
signed up to participate, and
10,730 patients have been certified, a number that dispensary
operators have complained has
made it hard to turn a profit.
Were not breaking even yet,
and neither has anyone else in the
industry, said Hillary Peckham,
chief operations officer of Etain, a
REUTERS

family run company that has dispensaries in Albany, Kingston,
Syracuse and Yonkers. Its not at
a sustainable point.
In an effort to effort to boost
patient access, officials are loosening some regulations. Nurse
practitioners and physician assistants will soon be allowed to certify patients for the drug. The state
is considering authorizing home
deliveries and this past week
announced plans to add chronic
pain to a list of 10 qualifying conditions that also include cancer,
AIDS, multiple sclerosis and
epilepsy.
Kate Hintz lobbied for the law to
help people like her daughter

Morgan, who has a rare form of
epilepsy. The Westchester County
woman said that the state is making significant progress in making the medicine more accessible
to patients but that more work
is needed.
I dont think it will ever move
fast enough, but the changes are
encouraging, she said. Morgan is
enrolled in the program, but Hintz
said no dispensary currently offers
the type of medical cannabis that
would best treat her daughter. No
one I know is utilizing the program 100 percent.
Among the changes dispensary
owners and patient advocates say

are still needed: expanding the formulations the dispensaries can
offer, encouraging more doctors to
participate and approving more
qualifying conditions.
The state is also looking at permitting additional companies to
open new dispensaries, a move
opposed by the operators of the
19 current dispensaries around the
state. Owners say the market is
too small and fragile to absorb the
new competition.
What we dont want to do is
compromise the integrity of the
program by saturating the market, said Nicholas Vita, CEO of
Columbia Care NY, which operates a Manhattan dispensary in

addition to one on Long Island and
two upstate facilities.
One option thats not on the
table yet is full legalization.
Massachusetts, California and
Maines votes in November join
them with states including
Colorado,
Washington
and
Oregon in allowing recreational
use of pot.
Advocates, however, note how
quickly public support for legalization has increased and say
California and Massachusetts
could prompt them to reconsider.
The time to have a conversation about ending the prohibition
on marijuana in New York is now,
said Kassandra Frederique, New
York state director at the Drug
Policy Alliance. New York should
be at the forefront.
But state officials say they dont
feel pressure to change their
approach. Legalization of marijuana in other states will not
impact the program, the states
Department of Health said in a
statement.
Instead, its Washington, D.C.,
and the incoming administration
of President-elect Donald Trump
that has state officials on edge.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions,
Trumps pick to be attorney general, has voiced opposition to loosening marijuana policies.
State Sen. Diane Savino, a
Staten Island Democrat who
helped write New Yorks law, said
she wonders what approach the
Trump administration will take to
state marijuana laws that violate
federal drug laws.
Said Savino: Im less concerned about whats happening in
Massachusetts
than
about

Jimmy Kimmel to host Academy Awards

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK The Oscars finally

have a host: Jimmy Kimmel will
emcee the 89th Academy Awards.
The late-night host will be presiding
over the ceremony for the first time.
Kimmel has been a regular awards
host, having twice previously hosted
the Emmy Awards (including its broadcast in September) and once led ESPNs
ESPY Awards.
The selection of Kimmel gives ABC,
FIRE
bodies found in what is the most lethal
building fire in the U.S. in more than a
decade.
But he cautioned that it was impossible to be absolutely positive until
the entire recovery effort is complete.
Authorities had gone through about
three-quarters of the building by
Monday afternoon.
The laborious job of digging with
shovels and buckets through the debris
was suspended overnight because of a
dangerously unstable wall. It resumed
in the morning, though a rainstorm
Tuesday could complicate the effort.
The cluttered warehouse had been converted to artists studios and illegal
living spaces, and former denizens
said it was a death trap of piled wood,
furniture, snaking electrical cords and
only two exits.
Alameda County District Attorney
Nancy OMalley said Monday her
office has sent a team to search for evidence of a crime in the warehouse, but
has not yet determined whether a crime
even occurred. She said potential
charges could range from involuntary
manslaughter to murder. She declined
to say who her team has interviewed.
Its too early to speculate on anything, OMalley said. We just started
our investigation, and we owe it to the
community and those who perished in
this fire, and those who survived the
fire to be methodical, to be thorough,
and to take the amount of time it takes
to be able to look at every piece of
potential evidence.
Oakland city councilman Noel
Gallo, who lives a block from the
warehouse, said he confronted the
propertys manager Derick Ion
Almena several times about neighbors concerns about trash in the street
and in front of the warehouse. Gallo
said Almena essentially told authorities to mind their own business and
appeared resistant to addressing com-

Jimmy
Kimmel
Live! has previously
followed
ABCs Oscar broadcast. The network
Jimmy Kimmel also has new muscle
to flex; it signed a
deal with the Academy of Motion
Pictures in August to remain the Oscar
broadcast home until 2028.
Yes, I am hosting the Oscars,

Kimmel said on Twitter. This is not a
prank. And if it is, my revenge on the
academy will be terrible and sweet.
The academy waited much later than
usual to name a host for the Feb. 26
ceremony.
This years show is being produced
by veteran producer Michael De Luca
and Jennifer Todd, president of Ben
Affleck and Matt Damons production
company, Pearl Street Films. This is
also their first time producing the
Oscars.
plaints and complying with city

codes.
Almena and his partner, Micah
Allison, ran the buildings arts colony
called the Satya Yuga collective.
Almena told San Jose television station KNTV in an interview Monday
that about 20 people lived there. He
said he had gone to a hotel Friday
night with his wife and children
because he was exhausted.
Were sorry to the families and all
the friends that have lost loved ones,
he said, with Allison by his side holding his hand. I gladly would give my
entire life of fortune, of wealth of
experience again and again and again,
and I say this to you and I say this to
the camera and to whoever is watching
me that I surrender everything.
He denied knowing about the Friday
night party, but acquaintances said the
couple threw frequent parties open to
the public, for fees collected at the
door.
Almena said police have been in and
out of the building in the last few years
to respond to break-ins and other concerns of people who lived there and
that they never pointed out any safety
concerns.
They would come in and they would
walk through our space and theyd
always say, Wow, what an amazing
space, Almena said.
Relatives, friends and former colleagues said Almena loved to surround
himself with followers, but seemed to
care little for their well-being.
Asked late Sunday by San Francisco
television station KGO about his
thoughts on those killed in the fire,
Almena said, Theyre my children.
Theyre my friends, theyre my family,
theyre my loves, theyre my future.
What else do I have to say?
Almena did not respond to emails or
calls to phone numbers associated
with him by the Associated Press. No
one answered a call to a number for
Allison.
The warehouse is owned by Chor N.
Ng, her daughter Eva Ng told the Los
Angeles Times. She said the warehouse
was leased as studio space for an art

collective and was not being used as a
dwelling.
We are also trying to figure out
whats going on like everybody else,
the family wrote in a statement to NBC
Bay Area. Our condolences go out to
the families and friends of those
injured and those who lost their lives.
Eva Ng did not immediately return
phone calls from the Associated Press.
Gallo said Chor N. Ng put Almena in
charge of cleaning up the Ghost Ship,
and nothing was done.
I hold the owner of the property
responsible, Gallo said. I hold the
manager responsible.
But questions persisted about
whether city officials could have done
more to prevent the fire. Oakland planning officials opened an investigation
last month after repeated complaints
about the warehouse. An inspector
who went to the premises couldnt get
inside, said Darin Ranelletti, of the
Oakland Planning Department.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said
city officials are putting together a
record of what they knew about the
property.
Gallo said the neighborhood was
once an industrial zone and that many
warehouses and vacant commercial
buildings unfit for habitation remain.
He said hes concerned that many of
them are being used as illegal
dwellings given the dearth of affordable housing in the area. He said he
will push for the city to hire more fire
marshals and building inspectors to
investigate.
Authorities have identified 22 victims and notified their families, city
officials said. An additional 11 victims
have been tentatively identified, and
three victims need scientific identification, they said.
Most of the victims names, including the name of a 17-year-old, were not
released.
Investigators said they believe they
have located the section of the building where the fire started, but the cause
remains unknown.

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

BERLIN German Chancellor Angela Merkel on

Monday denounced the rape and killing of a university student as a tragic event, responding for the first time to a
case that has inflamed passions since police arrested a 17year-old Afghan migrant last week.
A nationalist party has seized on the death to argue that
Merkels government bears a share of the blame.
If it turns out that (the perpetrator) was an Afghan
refugee then that needs to be condemned, absolutely, just
like with any other murderer, Merkel said in an interview
with public broadcaster ARD.
But that shouldnt be combined with a rejection of an
entire group, just like we dont draw conclusions about an
entire group from (the actions of) one person in other
instances, she added.
The victim, a 19-year-old medical student, vanished in
mid-October on her way home from a party in the southwestern city of Freiburg. Her body was found in a river.
Police say the suspect, who was arrested on Friday, was
linked to the crime through DNA evidence and video footage
from near the scene. The teenager, who entered Germany
last year as an unaccompanied minor, hasnt made a statement. His arrest, however, has played into ongoing tensions about the arrival in Germany last year of hundreds of
thousands of migrants.
Joerg Meuthen, a co-leader of the nationalist Alternative
for Germany party, argued Sunday that Merkel and Vice
Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel bear a decisive share of the
responsibility for this cruel act and many other isolated
cases that have happened daily in Germany since the
unhindered entry of illegal immigrants.
The nationalist party rose in polls following last years
migrant influx and hopes to enter the national Parliament
in an election next year in which Merkel is seeking a fourth
term. In the U.S., businessman Donald Trump focused on
crimes linked to immigrants in the country illegally as part
of his successful presidential campaign.
Merkels deputy said the students death must not be used
for rabble-rousing and conspiracy propaganda.
It is clear to everyone that refugees can commit equally
terrible crimes as people born in Germany, Gabriel told
Mondays edition of the Bild daily.
Merkels spokesman, Steffen Seibert, condemned the
appalling crime, telling reporters in Berlin that the perpetrator must be punished with the full force of our laws.
Around the world

Fake U.S. embassy in Ghana
shut down after about a decade
ACCRA, Ghana A fake U.S. embassy that operated for
about a decade in Ghanas capital issuing counterfeit and
fraudulently obtained visas has been shut down, the U.S.
State Department announced.
The scam was orchestrated by Ghanaian and Turkish
organized crime rings and a Ghanaian attorney, a statement said. Several suspects have been arrested, though
others remain at large.
Raids led to the recovery of 150 passports from 10 countries and visas from the U.S., India, South Africa and the
European Schengen zone.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark
Toner said no one was able to enter the United States illegally using a counterfeit visa obtained at the fake
embassy.
This was a criminal, fraud operation masquerading as a
fake U.S. embassy, he told reporters.
It was not clear how many people were defrauded by the
fake embassy, which charged $6,000 for its services.
Two Russian nurses killed

in rebel shelling of Syrias Aleppo
ALEPPO, Syria Rebel shelling killed two Russian
nurses and eight civilians Monday in Aleppo, and a
Russian fighter jet crashed as it was returning to an aircraft
carrier in the Mediterranean after a sortie over Syria, but
the pilot ejected safely, Moscow officials said.
The shelling that targeted government-controlled western Aleppo was one of the most intense in recent days. It
coincided with a crushing air and ground assault that has
seen forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad recapture more than half of opposition-held eastern Aleppo.
Russia and militias allied with Iran and Lebanons
Hezbollah have been staunch supporters of Assad in his
countrys bitter civil war, now in its sixth year.
