Chain store rules voted down

San Carlos Planning Commission deems restrictions ineffective
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

An effort to monitor the influx of chain stores in downtown San Carlos was deemed ineffective in achieving its
goals and burdensome to business owners by the
Planning Commission Tuesday night.
The commission voted 4-1 to recommend that the City
Council sunset the ordinance defining formula businesses
and establishing a permit process for formula uses downtown in February. The commission went further to recommend that the council consider amending the definition of
formula businesses, revert back to a definition proposed
in an earlier version of the ordinance and adopt objective
criteria for evaluating businesses likely to fall in this category should the council move forward with the ordinance.
The efforts aim was to keep mom-and-pop businesses
from being displaced and retain the areas small-town
charm as commercial rents soar. Mayor Cameron Johnson
proposed the temporary ban in November 2015 after
rumors Jamba Juice was interested in opening up downtown. Support was mixed, however, because it could have
limited retail stores that people may want downtown.
In June, the City Council amended an ordinance passed
in March to include a more formal definition of a formula
business among other considerations. Councilmembers
voted to narrow the definition to businesses with 10 or
more locations in the nine Bay Area counties, from businesses with 15 or more locations in the United States.
Commissioners discussed these amendments, specifically the new definitions failure to capture national chain
stores with less than 10 locations in the Bay Area.
Vice Chair David Silberman presented an example where
the current wording would allow a national chain with less
than 10 locations to bypass the permitting process,
while requiring a local business with multiple locations
in the Bay Area specifically to go through a burdensome
process.
If you had a business like Patxis [Pizza] and if you had
10 locations in the Bay Area, this would apply to you, and
if you had Chick-Fil-A, which has like a thousand national locations but maybe not 10 in the Bay Area, and [you]
wanted to put a Chick-Fil-A on San Carlos Avenue, this
wouldnt apply to [you], he said.
Chair Shannon Bergman and Commissioner Angela
Harper-Pederson voiced similar concerns and raised questions about the burden placed on formula business owners
in applying for a conditional use permit and the specific
type of permit required. Both commissioners said concerns they voiced in earlier meetings regarding the possibly prohibitive cost had been addressed by the councils
June vote to reduce fees for conditional use permit applications by half and also to expedite application processing.
Harper-Pederson asked staff what happens to applications when they come in.
When were asked to expedite a process, theres not a
formal, codified way of doing that. But if one were to
come in, we would move that to the top, said Principal
Planner Lisa Porras.
Commissioners acknowledged that only one application for this use had come in since these ordinances were
adopted. The opening of Expedia CruiseShipCenters on
Laurel Street was delayed by approximately four months
by the conditional use permitting process. Silberman
asked Economic Development Coordinator Nell Selander
if the city had exhausted all options for creating a streamlined process.
I believe so, really the only choices are between a
minor use permit and a conditional use permit, and the
choice was to go to one that had more of a clear, public
involvement process and a real opportunity for public
comment, Selander said.
Susan Hannah, owner of Arranged4Comfort, an
ergonomics store on Laurel Street, asked commissioners
to consider the charm that draws so many business owners
and patrons to San Carlos.
The feedback that I get from people on how unique San
Carlos is, and how charming it is, its not like other
towns. It would be a shame to lose the uniqueness and the
individuality. And I realize that we already have some
chain stores on Laurel Street, I have no problem with
that, she said. I think we have to be very careful about
the balance. Otherwise, were one more strip-mall USA.
Theres nothing unique about what we have in this town.
Several commissioners said the ordinance seemed burdensome and did not accomplish its intended purpose,
which is to make it difficult for large businesses to set up
shop downtown.
Even an expedited process for the permit adds a burden to the property owners, said Bergman. I dont
think the way this is written that it really accomplishes what the City Council wants it to accomplish in
terms of kicking out the large businesses. I am voting
against it because I still dont think the ordinance does

what its supposed to do.

Commissioner Jesse Gutierrez agreed.
I think the intent is good but when you revise an ordinance three times in one year, thats generally not the
way you want to do it, he said.
Councilman Mark Olbert noted that he wasnt surprised
by the Planning Commissions recommendation, and
agreed with their vote.
I think its the right thing to do for San Carlos, he
said. [The current ordinance] misses the mark. It doesnt
focus on the size of a business, just on what the ownership is. I think its far better to pick some other parameters to use.
Mayor Johnson, who introduced the idea, said he welcomes the opportunity to improve current policies and
emphasized the original intent of the ordinance.
The purpose [of the ordinance] was not to ban [large
businesses] but to give the public a say, he said. We
wanted to allow the public to guide how they want their
downtown to go over time. [What Ive heard] is that they
want their downtown to feel eclectic and unique.

Man pleads no contest to multiple home burglaries

By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A 24-year-old man connected to multiple home burglaries throughout the

Peninsula pleaded no contest to burglary charges Monday in San Mateo
County Superior Court, according to
the District Attorneys Office.
Johnny Fobbs pleaded no contest to
felony residential burglary and felony
attempted residential burglary and also
admitted to having prior felony convictions, prosecutors said.
The no contest plea came on the condition that he serves no more than 34
years and eight months in state prison,
according to prosecutors.
Fobbs and two other men, identified
as 24-year-old Kim Parks and 31-yearold Derwin Upshaw, committed the
home burglaries between September
2015 and January of this year, hitting
up homes in the Peninsula and the East

Bay, prosecutors said.

Authorities began investigating the
burglaries after a number of San Mateo
County residents reported the breakins. In each case, prosecutors said the
modus operandi was similar: the suspects broke a rear sliding glass door
and stole guns, jewelry, cash and safes.
The burglars also used gloves, and
witnesses reported seeing several suspects working as a team, prosecutors
said.
Authorities were eventually able to
identify a suspect vehicle and placed an
electronic tracker on the car. On Jan.
21, authorities tracked the car from the
East Bay to San Carlos, where another
home was burglarized using the same
method as seen in the earlier burglaries, prosecutors said.
Authorities attempted to stop the car,
but the suspects led them on a pursuit
that ended in Oakland with a foot
chase. Authorities caught up with

Fobbs and arrested him on suspicion of

committing the burglaries.
Prosecutors said investigators also
found jewelry in Fobbs pocket that
was later determined to have been
stolen from the San Carlos house that
had been burglarized earlier that day.
Investigators were able to use cellphone records to connect Fobbs,
Parker and Upshaw to the burglaries,
prosecutors said.
Fobbs is set to return to court on Feb.
10 when hell be sentenced. Fobbs
defense attorney Alex Berstein was not
immediately available for comment.
In October, Parks pleaded no contest
to residential burglary and admitted to
having prior convictions and a judge
sentenced him to eight years in prison.
Upshaw is in custody in San Joaquin
County jail on unrelated charges and
has not yet made a court appearance in
San Mateo County on the burglary
charges, prosecutors said.

A firefighter works on the roof at the scene of the fatal warehouse fire in Oakland.

Did city, state authorities miss

opportunities to prevent fire?
By Ellen Knickmeyer
and Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND City and state

officials fielded years of complaints about dangerous conditions, drugs, neglected children,
trash, thefts and squabbles at the
illegally converted warehouse
where 36 partygoers were killed in
a weekend fire, with inspectors
knocking on the door as recently
as two weeks before the blaze.

With all the attention from

police, child welfare authorities,
building inspectors and others,
some of those who saw what was
going on at the underground
artists colony say they figured
time and again that authorities
would shut it all down.
But they never did.
It makes me so sad that all this
has been there this whole long
time, said neighbor Phyllis
Waukazoo. This was an accident
waiting to happen. That could

have been prevented.

Mayor Libby Schaaf deflected
questions about whether more
aggressive action by authorities
could have prevented the tragedy
at the cluttered, ramshackle building known as the Ghost Ship.
Most recently, Oakland city
inspectors received complaints on
Nov. 13 about the warehouse
being remodeled into residences
and on Nov. 14 about an illegal

Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula

A temporary moratorium on
marijuana-related activities such
as cultivation and distribution was
asked for by the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors
Tuesday to allow time for a slower,
deliberate approach to implementing Proposition 64 that may
include a regional effort with
cities.
The board, at its Dec. 6 study
session of the recently passed
state legislation, directed County
Counsel John Beiers to bring
back at its Dec. 13 meeting an
urgency ordinance imposing the
moratorium. County staff will
also bring the board some proposed options for a regional
workgroup of cities and stakeholders with supervisors Carole
Groom and Dave Pine advising as
a legislative committee, according to the county.
Issues brought up in the study
session included the possibility
that greenhouse cultivation, particularly in agricultural areas on
the coast, could generate $100
million a year and be similar to
the countys current greenhouse
industry. Environmental health
and law enforcement officials,
however, said there could be added
costs for inspections, regulation

and public safety incidents,

according to the county.
There were also questions about
a possible county tax and effect
on decades of county work on
smoke-free norms, according to
the county.
The countys regulation of marijuana-related activity is limited to
a 2009 ordinance governing collectives distributing for medical
use although there are no collectives operating within the countys jurisdiction and no licenses
have ever been issued, according
to the county.
Several cities including Foster
City, Burlingame, San Bruno and
San Mateo have imposed moratoriums on marijuana-related activities and the board said Tuesday a
collective effort may be the best
step to prevent a patchwork of
regulatory frameworks, according
to the county.
The state is aiming to issue
licenses for commercial activity
Jan. 1, 2018, and distributors and
cultivators would be able to secure
a state license without a local
license. Without action, the county could lose control once the
state issues licenses, according to
the County Counsels Office.
The emergency ordinance will
temporarily ban outdoor grows,
according to the county.

Assembly Democrats seek $1B

in state spending despite risks

Officials: California
water conservation steadies

SACRAMENTO California Assembly

Democrats are pushing for $1 billion in new
state spending even as they warn that the
policies of President-elect Donald Trump
and Republicans in Congress could have
devastating consequences for the state budget.
Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco
made the opening salvo Tuesday in the sixmonth budget battle. This years debate
opens amid lower-than-expected state revenue
and fears that another recession is inevitable.
The chairman of the Assembly Budget
Committee says California shouldnt hoard
cash waiting for unknown changes that might
come from Washington. He says the state can
still maintain robust savings even if it
increases spending.
That position is likely to trigger a confrontation with Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown.
Browns administration has urged caution,
saying California faces significant uncertainty from lower revenue and Trumps policies.

two years of negotiations none of which
have resulted in the property being

We are resolved to provide public access
to this public resource, that is our purpose,
that is our goal, said Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom, according to a live video of the
meeting. We are moving aggressively in
that direction.
Newsom, one of three voting members on
the SLC, remarked about how the beach held
value to a diverse demographic from a
youthful surfer to a 93-year-old woman
seeking easy access to a place where she can
feel the sand beneath her feet.
Acknowledging the SLC simply directed
staff Tuesday to study eminent domain proceedings and wasnt a formal action,
Newsom attempted to reassure the public
that the state was resolute in its goal after
officials returned from a closed session
meeting.
Were leaning in, we are not happy about
this impasse and we are resolved to do
something about it, Newsom said.
The SLC has long held the power of eminent domain but has never chosen to use it.
The state will now study the steps associated with seizing an easement and potential
costs before determining whether to proceed. Ultimately, its a legal process that
must wind its way through the court system

FRESNO Californians did a good job of

saving water in October, a month of heavy
rainfall amid easing drought conditions in a
state enduring five straight dry years, regulators said Tuesday.
Cities used 19.5 percent less in October
compared with 2013, shortly before Gov.
Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency.
Thats up from 18 percent in September, and it
reverses past months of backsliding since the
state lifted mandatory cutbacks of up to 25
percent, officials said.
Octobers savings show that residents are
committed to conserving, said Felicia
Marcus, chair of the State Water Resources
Control Board. With climate change playing
an increasingly disruptive role, we need to

in a statement.

with the state paying what could be the

highest price for the land likely much
more than what the SLC offered during
negotiations.
Staff revealed Tuesday it offered the billionaire property owner $360,000 during
its attempt to negotiate a 6.4-acre easement
along the existing road and down to the
beach. Khoslas team opined providing an
easement was worth closer to $30 million
and instead suggested the state purchase the
entire property currently occupied by several dozen homes on long-term leases.
Khosla bought the property during the
recession and although its former owners
previously opened it to the public at their
discretion for a small parking fee, he opted
to cease that practice around 2010. Hes
since claimed to have been singled out
based on his wealth.
Jeffery Essner, an attorney representing
Martins Beach LLCs, said Khosla is a philanthropist and environmentalist, noting
his clients charitable pledge to one day
give up half his wealth. But he also has
strong convictions; particularly when it
comes to private property rights. Essner
said Martins Beach has turned into political
fodder and was not a popular destination
until the media got involved.
Mr. Khosla is a man of principle,
Essner said. Mr. Khosla is unwilling to be
coerced into giving up a vested constitutional property right.
Essner argued the easement has been valued at tens of millions of dollars and questioned whether the states resources could be
better used.

Should the state choose to move forward

with eminent domain, the cost to acquire the
property will be significant, Essner said.
Money has been a driving factor in the
debate and the SLC does not currently have
funds to pursue eminent domain.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, proposed legislation Monday that would allocate state funds toward Martins Beach. Hill,
whose 2014 legislation initiated the SLCs
negotiations, said hes confident supporters
can secure funds noting San Mateo County,
nonprofit land trusts and community members have signaled they would be willing to
donate.
There are no guarantees the SLC will proceed with eminent domain. But after the
meeting, Hill said hes hopeful and confident that theyre moving forward with conviction to, at the end of the day, guarantee
public access to Martins Beach.
Responding to Essners comments about
state priorities, Hill argued the issue is
about a precedent that could extend beyond
Martins Beach.
This is a right that Californians have,
and you cant place a price tag on a right,
Hill said.
The notion of deterring wealthy individuals from privatizing the states beloved
coastline was a core concern amongst the
public that spoke during Tuesdays meeting.
Defending the people from the billionaire who will take from them has become
the leading narrative of our time, said
Jennifer Savage, who spoke with a group
representing the nonprofit Surfrider
Foundation. Californias coast must not

GOP adds $10 billion for

Barack Obama speaks about counter-terrorism during his visit to MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central
Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, in Tampa, Fla.

Obama defends counterterrorism

plan before handover to Trump
By Kevin Freking
and Jopsh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Closing out two

terms as a president at war, Barack
Obama staunchly defended his
counterterrorism strategy as one
that rejected torture, held to
American values and avoided
large-scale troop deployments, in
an implicit effort to shape the
strategy his successor might
employ.
Obama came to MacDill Air
Force Base, home to U.S. Special
Operations Command and Central
Command, to give his final

speech on national security. He

delivered a strident argument for
his reliance on drone strikes and
U. S. commandos rather than
ground wars like those launched in
Iraq and Afghanistan by his predecessor. Obama emphasized the
need for the U.S. to uphold its values by respecting the rights of
Muslims and trying terror suspects
in civilian courts. We can get
these terrorists and stay true to
who we are, Obama said.
Rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism
by dropping more bombs, or
deploying more and more troops,
or by fencing ourselves off from

the rest of the world, we have to

take a long view of the terrorist
threat, Obama told troops gathered in an airplane hangar. We
have to pursue a smart strategy
that can be sustained.
In describing the nature of the
threat after eight years of his leadership, Obama sought to strike a
careful balance, arguing at once
that violent extremism will be
with us for years to come and that
terrorists dont pose an existential threat to the U.S. He said
unlike previous wars against other
nations, it was unlikely this conflict would end with a clearly
defined victory.

Critics worry after Trump security chief fuels conspiracies

By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON On issues of
national security and intelligence,
no one is likely to have more
influence in Donald Trumps White
House than retired Gen. Michael T.
Flynn.
Yet Flynn, Trumps incoming
national security adviser, has

gained prominence
in
Republican politics by fueling
conspiracy theories
and

embolden enemies if it continues.

His job is to ensure that the
White House is focused at all times
on all of the threats that the United
States faces abroad, said Julianne
Smith, a former deputy national
security adviser to Vice President
Joe Biden. She said she was
deeply troubled by a Flynn tendency to promote fake news stories on his Twitter feed.

WASHINGTON Republicans
controlling Congress Tuesday
unveiled $10 billion in supplemental war funding and $4 billion more
for disaster relief for Louisiana and
other states as key additions to
must-pass legislation to keep the
government running into next
spring.
The bill would also deliver $170
million in long-delayed help for
Flint, Michigan, to fix its leadtainted water system.
The legislation would prevent
the government from shutting
down this weekend and buy several
months for the new Congress and
incoming Trump administration to
wrap up more than $1 trillion worth
of unfinished agency budget bills.
Democrats complained the GOP
measure shortchanged New York
City by giving it just $7 million to
cover police overtime and other
security costs for President-elect

Donald Trump, who lives in midtown Manhattan. And they complained that a provision to help
retired Appalachian coal miners
keep their health benefits for a few
months was woefully inadequate.
The bill attracted attention as the
final legislative locomotive to
leave the station before Congress
closes shop this year. Nothing else
on Capitol Hills agenda had the
power to tow other unfinished legislation into law.
The White House and Main Street
Republicans were denied in a bid to
revive the Export-Import Banks
ability to approve export financing deals exceeding $10 million.
But the trucking lobby appeared
poised to win permanent relief from
recent Transportation Department
rules mandating longer rest breaks
for long-haul carriers.
Democrats complained about a
proposal to help speed a congressional waiver required next year to
confirm retired Gen. James Mattis
as secretary of defense.

Supreme Court upholds broad

power to curb insider trading
By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A unanimous
Supreme Court on Tuesday sided
with the government in a legal
clash over the nations insider
trading laws, a victory for prosecutors seeking to curb corruption
on Wall Street.
The justices ruled that sharing
corporate secrets with friends or
relatives is illegal even if the
insider providing the tip doesnt
receive anything of value in return.
The ruling upheld the conviction of Bassam Yacoub Salman, an
Illinois man convicted of making
investments based on inside information he received from a member
of his extended family. It also lim-

ited the impact of a 2014 ruling

from the federal appeals court in
Manhattan that had raised doubts
about the scope of insider trading
laws.
Prosecutors have relied on a
broad reading of the law to support
aggressive anti-corruption efforts
that have netted more than 80
arrests and 70 convictions for
insider trading over several years.
Writing for the court, Justice
Samuel Alito rejected arguments
that insider trading prosecutions
should be limited to those who
make secret profits from revealing
confidential data. Government
officials had argued that sharing
corporate secrets with friends or
family is just as damaging to the
integrity of financial markets.

Ransomed: The race

to free 226 Christian
hostages inside Syria
By Lori Hinnant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAARLOUIS, Germany Deep inside

Syria, a bishop worked secretly to save the
lives of 226 members of his flock from the
Islamic State group by amassing millions of dollars from his community around
the world to buy their freedom.
The Assyrian Christians were seized from
the Khabur River valley in northern Syria,
among the last holdouts of a minority that
had been chased across the Mideast for generations. On Feb. 23, 2015, IS fighters
attacked 35 Christian towns simultaneously, sweeping up scores of people.
It took more than a year, and videotaped
killings of three captives, before all the rest
were freed.
Paying ransoms is illegal in the United
States and most of the West, and the idea of
giving money to the Islamic State group is
morally fraught, even for those who saw no
alternative.
You look at it from the moral side and I
get it. If we give them money were just
feeding into it, and theyre going to kill
using that money, said Aneki Nissan, who
helped raise funds in Canada. But to us,
were such a small minority that we have to
help each other.
The Khabur families trace their heritage
to the earliest days of Christianity. To this
day, they speak a dialect of Aramaic,
believed to be the native language of Jesus.

When the villages were attacked, fleeing

residents phoned cousins, sons, daughters,
friends Assyrians who had left the region
in waves for the West. In the chaos, no one
was sure how many were taken captive
but everyone was certain they were going to
die.
As days stretched into a week, it became
clear IS had other plans.
The group told the 17 men captured from
one village, Tal Goran, they could have
their freedom but with a catch. Four female
captives would remain, and one of the men
had to deliver a message to their bishop in
the town of Hassakeh about 40 miles away,
and return with an answer. The extremists
demanded $50,000 per person for the whole
group.
Abdo Marza reluctantly agreed. His 6year-old daughter was one of the captives.
It took the bishop, Mar Afram Athneil,
three days to make a decision, as he consulted with members of the church around
the world on what to do. Then he gave
Marza a sealed envelope, with no explanation.
When Marza handed it over, the IS
extremist broke into a smile. Your bishop
is a very smart man. With that, his daughter and three old women were freed.
Athneil began secret negotiations for the
remaining captives.
In California, Assyrian filmmaker Sargon
Saadi packed his gear, hoping to learn what
had happened to the Khabur villages. He
found them almost deserted.

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

When Assyrian Christiansvillages were attacked,fleeing residents phoned cousins,sons,daughters,

friends Assyrians who had left the region in waves for the West. In the chaos, no one was sure
how many were taken captive but everyone was certain they were going to die.
We didnt know why they took them, we
didnt know where they took them, what
they wanted to do with them, Saadi said.
When word filtered down about the ransom, the price was daunting. ISs starting
demand of $50,000 a person would mean
more than $11 million for the remaining
captives.
Theres no easy way to give them
money. Its very dangerous, its also illegal
in many countries, Saadi said.
The calls for donations went out across
social media. In Germany, Assyrian entrepreneur Charli Kanoun persuaded the government to accept the Tal Goran hostages,
and then he began fundraising for the others. Outside London, Andy Darmoo also
fundraised while running his chandelier
business.
On May 26, two women were freed. On
June 16, one man was released. On Aug. 11,
22 more people were liberated. Many in the

Trump son-in-laws family

donated to Israeli settler groups
JERUSALEM President-elect Donald
Trumps son-in-law co-directs a family foundation that has donated
tens of thousands of dollars to Jewish settlement
organizations in the West
Bank, according to tax
records.
Trump has said Jared
Kushner, who serves as a
close adviser, could help
Jared Kushner negotiate a peace agreement between Israel and
the Palestinians. The donations by
Kushners parents foundation could complicate his ability to be an impartial broker.
The Israeli daily Haaretz on Monday first
reported the donations by the family foundation, which Kushner and his siblings
direct with their parents. The U.S. and most
of the international community consider
settlements in the West Bank and east
Jerusalem to be illegal or illegitimate and
obstacles to peace. The Palestinians seek
both territories, captured by Israel in the
1967 Mideast war, for their hoped-for state.

diaspora hoped the ordeal was nearly over.

Then in September 2015 came the video
showing three Khabur men, dressed in
orange, being shot to death.
When that happened, everybody went
crazy and money started flying in from all
over, Saadi said. Assyrians dont have an
army to go rescue them. They dont have
SWAT teams, they dont have SEAL 6. The
only option they have is to pay ransom.
The Islamic State group has made a fortune off the desperation of hostages. A
United Nations resolution from December
2015 called on governments to prevent
kidnapping and hostage-taking committed
by terrorist groups and to secure the safe
release of hostages without ransom payments or political concessions.
But while no government appeared to
stop the fundraising, the Assyrians say no
country stepped in to free the captives
either.

Iran president: Trump wont

TEHRAN, Iran Irans president said on
Tuesday that his country will not allow
incoming U.S. President Donald Trump to

The comments by Hassan Rouhani came
during a speech at the University of Tehran
commemorating the killings of Iranian students protesting a visit by then-U.S. Vice
President Richard Nixon in 1953.
Rouhanis remarks show the high-wire
stakes he faces after Trumps inauguration in
trying to defend the deal struck by his moderate administration.
The timing during an annual remembrance of the students killing at the hands
of the U. S. -backed Shah Reza Pahlavis

It was 75 years ago today that the
Imperial Japanese Navy conducted a
surprise attack against the U.S. Naval
Base in Hawaii. Dec. 7, 1941, was a
date that lived in infamy, in the
famous words of President Franklin D.

War II.
It was a tumultuous time, and what
happened that day galvanized our
nation like no other event. There was
no guarantee that we would win that
war and the effort, both here and
abroad, required a tremendous sacrice
we believed to be essential for our
victory and the maintenance of peace
across the world and the American
way of life on our soil.
At this point, we know of the stories and are reminded by those who
lived through the events. But just as it
is with Holocaust survivors, we are

losing their rst person accounts as
they age. It is slowly transitioning to
history and it is the responsibility of
the next generations to listen to the
accounts of the attack on Pearl Harbor
and the larger subsequent war effort.
The victory in Europe and Japan at
the end of World War II forever
changed our country. It spurred a new
era of prosperity forged on the vanquishing of Nazi Germany, fascist
Italy and Imperial Japan. The Great
War, now known as World War I, was
the war to end all wars and World
War II certainly aimed for the same. It
was not to be and there were further
perils laid out before us as our nation
grew through the 20th century and
became what it is today.
It has been said that the terrorist

again change the way we live. But in

the context of our nations history,

the two events are largely different in
that we were a burgeoning world
power before World War II and did not
fully grow into that role until the
years after when Europe was rebuilding.
Essentially, World War II not only
dened who we are as a country, but
also showed how we as a collective
people galvanized behind a common
cause toward victory against mighty
and brutal enemies.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was not
only unprovoked, its immediate loss
of life shook our nation to its core.
We should remember it because it is
not only a signicant part of our history but because it is also part of our
dening characteristic and served as
the creation of our new position in
the world.
Those who lost their lives on that
day should be memorialized and
appreciated, and we should do the
same for those who were alive on that
fateful day as well.

Letters to the editor

Peace in our world
Editor,
In the war years following the
attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl
Harbor (75 years ago on Dec. 7,
1941), our country rallied around the
slogan Remember Pearl Harbor! Six
weeks later, the fear and passion that
the attack engendered led to the relocation of thousands of JapaneseAmerican citizens living on the West
Coast to detention camps dotted
throughout the western and southwestern United States. Today, in memory of Executive Order 9066, the loss
of over 2,200 heroic lives at Pearl
Harbor and the tens of thousands of
heroic lives lost in naval warfare and
on island battleelds all over the
Pacic, we need to commit ourselves
wholeheartedly and without reservation to a new message: Remember to
pray for justice and peace.

Protesting Trumps platform

Editor,
Mike Browns letter (Selfabsorbed liberal Democrats in the

Donald Trump won fair and square, so
whiny liberals should stop their
protests/tantrums and learn that they
arent always right.
Lets say that the rst part of your

snobs who arent self-aware, to which
I say this:
Its good practice to look inside
oneself and discover some humility
and self-awareness. I have to wonder,
have you made the effort to understand what these protests are about?
Have you searched inside yourself and
made contact with any part of your
mind or body that can relate to what
we are going through? We arent
protesting because Trump won. We are
protesting the platform of bigotry
and demagoguery that propelled him
to victory. We are protesting because
we feel disenfranchised. We are
protesting because, in the wake of his
election, hate crimes have spiked.
None of this acceptable to us. And it
shouldnt be acceptable to you either.
You tell us that we arent self-aware

the civil and human rights of the
most vulnerable groups in our society. To paraphrase Audre Lorde, you
dont seem to realize that you have
your boot upon our collective neck.
And you demand that we show some

benet for Peninsula residents, a

boost to our local hotels and restaurants and a revenue source for our city
(Burlingame ice rink proposed in
the Dec. 2 edition of the Daily
Journal).
While many of us will always root
for the Belmont and Bridgepointe
rinks to reopen, the prospect of a
world class two-rink facility should
be considered fully and completely. It
would draw recreational skaters, gure
skaters and hockey players from all
over the Peninsula on a daily basis,
rain or shine. And while most people
will tend to focus on the local recreational benet, we should not ignore
the potential economic impact from
regional, state and national visitors
that a rink could uniquely provide.
Simply put, this can be the rink
that does not exist anywhere between
San Jose and Santa Rosa. A two sheet
rink would accommodate youth and
adult tournaments and competitions
that ll local hotels and draw visitors
to the Broadway and Burlingame
Avenue business districts. Such a
facility could accommodate dozens of
teams in a single weekend, potentially lling hundreds of hotel rooms
that would otherwise be vacant.
The expansive community outcry
over the Belmont and San Mateo rink
closures clearly demonstrates the passion for skating that already exists
on the Peninsula. With the right decision, Burlingame can act as a unier
for this large community and become
the cornerstone of Bay Area skating.

great number of our decisions are not really

ours but are suggested to us from the outside:
we have succeeded in persuading ourselves
that it is we who have made the decisions, whereas we have
conformed with the expectations of others driven by the
fear of isolation and more direct threats to our life, freedom
and comfort. Erich Fromm, Escape From Freedom.
Washington Post columnist Esther Cepeda, in writing
about fake news, lamented the fact that there is much concern lately about the lack of discernment among our youth
when it comes to media literacy in this country. She noted
that a Stanford History Education Group declares: Many
assume that because young people are uent in social
media, they are equally savvy about what they nd there.
Our work shows the opposite.
In our culture, our heroes
are not those who do much
deep thinking. Physical
prowess, physical attractiveness and/or the ability
to entertain are rewarded
with big bucks and fanfare.
It seems notoriety is considered the key to success
no matter how it is
obtained.
According to the authors
of The Art of Being
Human, thinking critically
is using careful analysis to
lead to an evaluation. It is
an activity of the mind which carefully denes, describes
and analyzes something a speech, an event, a politicians decision, a newspaper article, your friends beliefs,
etc. No label is attached to the subject or critique until all
of the data is in.
Non-critical thinkers (and not just the young) take
things literally. They often believe whatever they hear
especially in the media. Their tendency is to jump to conclusions, refusing to be inuenced by facts that dont t
their preconceived ideas of right and wrong, black and
white. Theyre fearful of ambiguity. Instead of thinking of
ways to solve problems and improve things, they are constantly trying to justify their beliefs at all times and at all
costs. How can a democratic nation thrive if inhibited by
such types?
In our schools, the trend has been away from exercising
the mind in creative and critical ways. The education of our
youth has become lopsided in deference to improving test
scores in math and reading. The No Child Left Behind
and Race to the Top movements of recent years, the
increasing emphasis of preparing all students for college
and the plethora of achievement tests has led to even more
compartmentalized training of the analytical, objective
part of the brain. The creative, intuitive brain is largely
left to fend for itself and, unless a child has a very strong
will to counteract this, or they live with people who make
up for the loss, they become just another victim of conformity, consumerism and mind control.
When it comes to controversial ideas, questionable practices, persuasive con men (from politicians to star-gazers),
it would help if more of us would ask ourselves a few questions before they decide to go along with the decisions of
others, disregard them, or keep them on hold. For
instance:
1). Do I have personal, moral and ethical guidelines to
help me evaluate issues as they arise?
2). Have I thought through the pros and cons and used
my own guidelines instead of adopting other peoples
views? If I havent, do I avoid making decisions one way
or the other until I am better informed?
3). Do I do research on the subject, keeping an open
mind to new and unusual ideas?
4). Do I read the newspaper and news magazines and not
just depend on provocative, biased online and/or TV news
reports for information?
5). Am I for or against something just because it meets
some misplaced need of mine for security, dependence or
acceptance? Am I looking for someone to do my thinking
for me?
6). Am I for or against something because of some preconceived notion of mine that has little basis in reality?
7). Do I realize that most people who are out to persuade
me to think the way they do and/or to do what they want do
not really care about me but are serving their own interests
whether self-aggrandizement, the control of others or profits?
The progress of our nation if it is to be the sort that
benets us instead of deling us depends upon those
who are able to think deeply, critically and creatively
instead of those who blindly follow the choices and beliefs
of others. What Richard A. Clarke wrote in Against All
Enemies is especially relevant now: As Americans it is
up to us to be well-informed and thoughtful to help our
country make the right decisions in this time of testing.

Alaska Airlines gets U.S. approval to buy Virgin America

By David Koenig
and Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Alaska
Airlines has won government
approval to buy rival Virgin
America after agreeing to reduce
its flight-selling partnership
with American Airlines.
Parent company Alaska Air
Group Inc. said Tuesday that it
expects to close the $2.6 billion
deal soon and greatly increase its
presence in the huge California
market.
The Justice Department filed a
lawsuit and settlement agreement
in federal district court in
Washington.

Seattle-based Alaska is the

nations sixth-biggest airline,
and Burlingame-based Virgin is
eighth. Together, they will
become the fifth-biggest.
The airlines still face a private
lawsuit to block the deal. Alaska
and Virgin executives have
expressed confidence they can
resolve that lawsuit, which is
pending in federal district court
in San Francisco. A settlement
conference
is
scheduled
Wednesday.
To win the governments
approval, Alaska will stop selling seats on American Airlines
flights a so-called code-sharing agreement on 45 routes.
Alaska said the concession will
cost it between $15 million and

The Half Moon Bay boys basketball team

did not only tipoff the rst round of the 40th
annual Burlingame Lions Club tournament
against Los Altos, the three-time defending
champ Cougars were tipping off their 201617 season.
It showed. There was some denite raggedness to Half Moon Bays game, but in the
end the Cougars held off the Eagles, 49-45.
Could you tell (it was rst game of the
season)? asked Half Moon Bay coach Rich
Forslund. I dont think anyone played very
well.
The Cougars played well in spurts, with a
strong effort in the rst and third quarters,
but struggled in the even-numbers periods.
Half Moon Bay led 14-7 after one, but only
25-18 at halftime. The Cougars held a 13point lead after three quarters, 44-30, only
to see Los Altos mount a rally over the nal
eight minutes. The Eagles opened the nal
quarter with eight unanswered points to
close to 44-38 with 4:47 to play. The
Cougars managed only ve points in the
fourth, but did enough defensively to hold
on for the win.
While the Cougars may have the pedigree
over the last several years of being one of
the top teams in the Central Coast Section,
there is a lot of growing for this team to
reach those heights this season. Half Moon

tournament.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The blueprint of the boys basketball season is laid out in three tiers, according to El
Camino head coach Don Robinson the
preseason, the league season, and the postseason.
Its that third thing that comes across as a
particularly bold statement.
Being as the Colts have won a total of
three games over the previous two seasons,
the playoffs might seem
like a pipe dream. But
this season, with El
Camino (3-1 overall)
already having matched
that win total through its
first four games, maybe
the notion isnt so farfetched.
I think we can (make
Don Robinson the playoffs), Robinson
said. We had a lot of size (last year) but we
didnt have time to put it together.
It still remains to be seen whether or not
the Colts are truly putting it all together
this season. While they triumphed handily
at home Tuesday night 55-31, the win came
against winless Marshall-SF (0-4). One of
El Caminos other three wins came via forfeit over KIPP SF College Prep in the scheduled season opener.
Still, theres an air of excitement being
generating from the teams winning ways,
something nearly the entire roster of players including eight seniors has never
experienced, not even for a spell, through
their entire varsity careers.
Were definitely doing way better than
last year, El Camino senior Jacob Oligario
said. Now weve got three wins, so thats
way better.
There is perhaps good reason for El
Caminos optimism. Its high-tempo, running-and-gunning offense resembles the

Stuart Hall-SF 64, Aragon 48
Despite shooting just 30 percent from the
field, the Dons hung with Knights for three
quarters. But Stuart Hall finally pulled away
in the fourth quarter in a first-round game of
the 40th annual Burlingame Lions Club tournament at Burlingame High.
Despite stretches of no scoring, Aragon
managed to do enough to stay in the game.
The Dons had a nearly four-minute scoring
drought in the first quarter, yet ended the
period tied at 12.
Stuart Hall opened the second quarter with
six unanswered points, and yet the Dons
trailed by just four at halftime, 24-20.
The Dons actually outscored the Knights,
17-16 in the third period to trail by just three
going into the fourth, 40-37, but Stuart Hall
blasted Aragon in the final quarter, outscor-

ing the Dons 24-11.

Stuart Halls Darna Stewart put on a 3point shooing exhibition in the second
half, hitting his first six in a row, after not
connecting on one in the first half. He had
four in the third quarter alone.
Stuart led all scorers with 21 points.
Aragon was led by Davion Cox, who finished with 11 points and pulled down 7
rebounds. Gabe Lukaszewicz and Donovan
Robinson each scored 9 for the Dons, with
Lukaszewicz also grabbing 7 boards.

Carr looking to change fortune against Chiefs

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Derek Carrs first NFL win

came against Kansas City after 10 straight
losses to begin his career.
Since then, Carr and the Oakland Raiders
havent had nearly as much success against
the Chiefs.
Carr will look to end Oaklands four-game
losing streak to the Chiefs when the Raiders
(10-2) visit Kansas City (9-3) on Thursday
night in a game that could determine the
winner of the AFC West.
To be honest, its the Groundhog Day
thing, Carr said. Everyone asks, Theyve
beaten you this many times, and these
things and all of that. When Im preparing
for these guys, it never goes through my
head. That stuff never has a determining factor on anything I write down, anything that
goes on in my brain or anything like that. I
just prepare for them just like I do any other
game.
While the preparation might be the same,

Derek Carr

the results havent been

for Carr against the
Chiefs. He has completed
just 58 percent of his
passes in five starts
against the Chiefs for
219. 6 yards per game,
six touchdowns, five
interceptions and a 72.0
passer rating. Those
numbers are far below his

career averages.
Carr will have to do better if the Raiders
want to take control of the tightly packed
division race with a win, moving two games
up with three to go. A loss would leave
Kansas City and Oakland tied with the
Chiefs owning the tiebreaker by virtue of
sweeping the season series. Denver goes
into the weekend two games behind
Oakland.
It just shows how good our division is,
Carr said. I think its a cool thing to be
honest. I think its awesome. Competition
brings the best out of everybody. Its been
like that all year. Weve all been right there

with each other and weve all been pushing

each other. Its fun, man.
After leading the late touchdown drive to
beat Kansas City at home on a Thursday
night in 2014 for his first win in his 11th
career start, Carr has come up short against
Kansas City.
He couldnt get Oakland in the end zone
until the closing minute of a 31-13 loss in
his second meeting in 2014. Critical mistakes have done him in since then.
Carr threw three fourth-quarter interceptions in the first meeting last year, including one returned for a touchdown, to set up
three TDs for Kansas City in a 34-20
Oakland loss at home. He was intercepted
again in a loss at Kansas City to end the
2015 season.
Then in the first meeting this year, Carr
led a touchdown drive to open the game
before being intercepted by Marcus Peters
on the second drive. Oakland got only one
field goal the rest of the way in a 26-10 loss
that was one of the only games in coach
Jack Del Rios two-year tenure when
Oakland was never within one score in the

fourth quarter.
Carr has been otherwise spectacular this
season, leading five fourth-quarter comebacks as he is on pace to set career bests
with a 65.5 completion percentage, 7.4
yards per attempt and a 100.3 passer rating.
Carr has 24 TD passes with only five interceptions.
I just think hes mature, Del Rio said.
Hes mature. Hes a young player. Hes
maturing and thats probably the thing that
Im most pleased with. Obviously, the productivity is awesome, but the way he has
conducted himself, the maturity, the handling it, continuing to heap praise on his
teammates, to make it more about us, not
about anything hes doing individually. Its
more about us as a team. I think thats really healthy for us.
NOTES: The Raiders practiced without
helmets as Del Rio tries to keep the team
fresh on the short week. ... S Karl Joseph
(toe), Stacy McGee (ankle), Darius Latham
(ankle) and LB Shilique Calhoun (knee) did
not practice.

Kaepernick to get start against Jets

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick is

keeping his starting job after getting benched
during one of the worst performances of his
career.
Niners offensive coordinator Curtis
Modkins said Tuesday that the embattled quarterback will start when San Francisco (1-11)
hosts the Jets (3-9) on Sunday. Kaepernick
completed just one pass in three quarters in a
26-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Kaepernick was removed from the game for
Blaine Gabbert in the fourth quarter after taking five sacks and completing one pass,
which came midway through the second quarter.
We just decided during the game to try to

see if Blaine could give us

a spark and Kaps been the
starter, Modkins said.
Its nothing other than
that.
San Francisco finished
with just six net yards
passing after the weather
dictated a heavy reliance
on the running game.
Colin
Gabbert completed four of
Kaepernick
his 10 attempts for 35
yards and took a safety after the game was out
of hand.
I was just watching how the ball was coming off (Kaepernicks) hands and what our
chances were of completing it, 49ers coach
Chip Kelly said afterward.

San Francisco was able to run effectively for

the majority of the afternoon, with 141 of the
49ers 147 total yards coming on the ground.
But Chicago scored three straight touchdowns
and the 49ers needed to pass to get back into
the game.
It was Kaepernicks first game in the snow
of his career. The 49ers spent the week practicing in Orlando to save on travel time after a
road loss in Miami. Kaepernick never
appeared comfortable in the freezing temperatures while San Francisco extended is franchise-worst losing streak to 11.
Elements always play a factor,
Kaepernick said, but you have to be able to
handle the elements. Thats part of football,
thats part of what we get paid to do and we
have to do a better job with that.

Kaepernicks struggles in Chicago came as

a surprise after he appeared to be turning a corner over the last month. Kaepernick threw for
1,110 yards in his previous four games since
the bye week, the most of any four-game
stretch of his career. He threw eight touchdowns and two interceptions, good for a passer rating of 96.0, with 223 yards rushing.
But the Bears made sure to limit
Kaepernicks legs, allowing just 20 yards on
six runs. Kaepernick is second in the NFL in
yards rushing by a quarterback behind
Buffalos Tyrod Taylor.
Sunday was a step backwards. We have to
get on track this week, Kaepernick said. We
have to put that work in, make sure everybodys prepared, the mindsets right and move
on to New York.

Half Moon Bay offense owed. Saffold
scored a game-high 18 points and Treanor
added 13.
Forslund, however, said he would like to
see the pair get the rest of their teammates
involved.
[Saffold] played well offensively, but if
would look to dish more, he could make others better, Forslund said. If you want to be
a better player, you have to dish the ball.
Yerby added 8 points, including a pair of
3-pointers, while Menzies had 6 points and
a team-high 8 rebounds.
In the rst quarter, Saffold, Yerby and
Menzies provided the offense, with each
having a pair of buckets. After Los Altos hit
s 3 to take a 5-3 lead with 6:25 to play in the
opening quarter, the Cougars closed the
period on an 11-2 run.

SPORTS

THE DAILY JOURNAL

after scoring 23 goals for New York City in

his second season with the team.
Villa received the award, named after
Landon Donovan, from MLS Commissioner
Don Garber on Tuesday. Villa got an average
of 25.9 percent of the vote in balloting by
players, club officials and media.
The New York Red Bulls Bradley Wright-

Phillips was second at 19.3 percent, followed by Red Bulls midfielder Sacha
Kljestan (17.6), Toronto forward Sebastian
Giovinco (16.3) and Montreal midfielder
Ignacio Piatti (7.7).
A World Cup champion with Spain in
2010, Villa finished second in MLS in scoring this year, one behind the Wright-

Phillips.

They scored the rst two buckets of the

second quarter including the second of
Saffolds two 3-pointers to open a 19-7
advantage. But the Cougars scored only six
points the rest of the quarter to maintain
their seven-point advantage at halftime.
The Cougars labored through the opening
minutes of the third quarter before nding
their footing. Leading 33-26 with 3:51 left
in period, the Half Moon Bay used another
strong closing run, 11-4, to give the
Cougars their largest lead of the game, 4430, going into the fourth.
But the offensive well dried up for the
Cougars, who managed only one eld goal
and were 3 for 8 from the free-throw line.
Youre going to have a hard time closing
out games (shooting like that in the
fourth), Forslund said.
The Cougars will need to have a short
memory because they turn right back around
for a seminal match against Stuart HallSan Francisco tonight, which beat Aragon
64-48 in another rst-round game. Half
Moon Bay and Stuart Hall will tip off at
6:30 p.m. in the Burlingame gym.

DONS

Now the fifth-year coach is looking to rein

in his team in an effort to compete with the
powerhouses of the Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division. Last year the Dons held their
owns with a 9-6-2 league record, but settled
for fifth place, well back of league-champion
Woodside and second-place Menlo-Atherton.

Continued from page 11

communicating with Nguyen and senior
Maddie Eclevia for good, strategic ball control throughout.
Thats what weve been focusing on, Dye
said. Weve got good players. So keeping
the ball moving is who we are.
Aragon could have easily added more scoring but instead took just a 1-0 lead into halftime. Much of that had to do with Dye cycling
in his bench players for much of the first half.
But while some of the Dons best chances
came off the few singular dashes taken
towards the Cupertino goal, Aragon stayed
true to its strategy of exacting strong pass
after strong pass; and it ultimately paid off.
Hence, even more prevalent than Tuesdays
chilly conditions was the air of excitement
emanating from the Aragon core. Eclevia
the lone fourth-year Aragon varsity senior
said the chemistry already feels more like
the tight-knit unity of a club team, and this
with just five total seniors on roster.
I feel weve always had a good base of
girls, Eclevia said. Weve been successful
together but I feel we didnt have as good of
chemistry as we do this year.
Eclevias varsity promotion in 2013-14
was an intentional push by Dye to promote a
base of players from within. The following
season, he brought up even more underclassmen to fill out the roster. Keeping the roster
in tact proved a challenge last season as midfielder Toni Tsamasfyros chose to bypass
high school soccer to play club, and midfielder Jayla Stokesberry opted to play basketball
instead of soccer. Both Tsamasfyros and
Stokesberry have returned to the team this
season, though, helping to stoke the optimism in the Aragon camp.
Three years ago we brought up a core group
who were freshmen and sophomores, Dye
said. Were starting to see the benefit of
that.

Villa, who turned 35 on Saturday, is

Spains career scoring leader with 59 goals.
He scored 22 regular-season MLS goals
from inside the penalty area this year,
including five on penalty kicks. He led the
league with 68 shots on target.

Dye, however, is now dealing with some of

the best problems to have. Case in point,
Aragons first score Tuesday. Coming in the
16th minute, Eclevia took a long pass near
the sideline and pushed the action with a
tightrope walk up the right side before
angling in late for a cross pass to Gutierrez,
who received it as she crossed into the penalty box to quickly knock it home.
Even while it got the job done, Eclevia was
critical of her wide route.
That is just a habit of mine and Coach Nick
was saying maybe try to go in a little more,
Eclevia said. I have a tendency to go outside
but thats not always our best option.
The option again appealed to Eclevia on
Aragons following goal, Changs first of the
day. The strike in the 54th minute was a mirror image of the previous score, as Eclevia
dashed up the left sideline before forcing her
way towards middle and sending in the cross
to Chang, who tapped it in the empty corner
to extend the lead to 2-0.
The score remained that way until the 72nd
minute when Chang intercepted a clearing
attempt from deep in Cupertino territory. The
freshman then showed off some leg with a
bullet from 15 yards out for a clean score.
After Nguyen scored in the 74th minute,
Chang notched the hat trick in style with the
most majestic score of the contest, a nice
bending arc from a tight wing look that floated into the opposite high corner.
A longtime club player with the De Anza
Force, Chang said she couldnt remember the
last time she scored a hat trick.
Its been a long time actually, Chang
said. I dont usually get to score lots of
goals.

There were 12 ties and 15 lead changes in
the game.
California dominated Princeton in both
points in the paint (34-12) and bench scoring (24-7).
The Golden Bears were a woeful 10 of 23
from the free-throw line. They made just 1 of
3 from the charity stripe in the first half and
only 9 of 20 in the second. They entered the
game averaging 67.5 percent for the season.
The Tigers came into the contest averaging 9.6 3-pointers made per game, but made
just 1 of 11 attempts from behind the arc in
the first half and finished 6 of 26 for the
game.

Up next
California will look to extend its win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A thoughtful meeting

in the Bay Area with the San Francisco brass
and Mark Melancon didnt need much convincing. Hes already looking forward to
talking nutrition and sport science with
Hunter Pence, his former Houston teammate
and yoga pal.
I think we get a kick out of one another,
Melancon said Tuesday, a day after reaching a
$62 million, four-year contract with the
Giants, the richest contract so far for a closer.
San Francisco felt right to Melancon
and the Giants needed him to stabilize the
ninth inning.
It was obvious that this organization
knows how to win, and thats their top priority, Melancon said. Theyre set up with the
Gold Glovers up the middle, Buster Posey,
(Brandon) Crawford, (Joe) Panik. Being a
groundball guy, thats a huge priority. Just
the character, being on the other side, you
could tell how much character there is in that
other clubhouse, so be able to join it and join
a group of guys that are veterans in winning,
it was the total package in my opinion.
He also gets to finish games following ace
starters such as 2014 World Series MVP
Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Jeff

TRADE

Samardzija. With a better

bullpen this year, the
Giants might have added
another even-numbered
year championship following titles in 2010,
12 and 14.
San Francisco blew 32
saves, including nine in
Mark Melancon September. Five relievers
combined to squander
Game 4 of the NL Division Series against the
eventual champion Cubs, who scored four
runs in the ninth inning to win 6-5.
The Giants were willing to keep their payroll above the luxury-tax threshold for a third
straight year to land Melancon. After paying
$1.3 million for 2015 and about $3 million
more for this year, their 2017 tax payroll
already projects to $196 million, with plenty of moves left to make.
One of the prices of getting Mark was
paying the tax, as well, said CEO Larry
Baer, who will have an overall payroll of
more than $200 million for the first time.
That was a pretty easy decision because of
the value we believe Mark brings to the
Giants.
Melancon has saved at least 30 games in
each of the past three seasons, recording a
majors-best 51 in 2015. He went 47 for 51 in
save opportunities in 75 relief appearances

last season with Pittsburgh and Washington,

tied for second-most saves with Baltimores
Zach Britton and the Los Angeles Dodgers
Kenley Jansen.
The man gets big outs! Clint Hurdle,
Melancons former manager with the Pirates,
wrote in an email.
Melancons three young children
Brooklyn, 5; Jack, 2 1/2; and 1-year-old Ella
are already learning about the iconic,
bright orange Golden Gate Bridge and their
soon-to-be new home. For Melancon, having some job security for four years means so
much for his family to feel settled in a city
and community.
I saw the reason that they are such a good
organization and why they want to win so
much and the effort they will put in to winning, Melancon said. Im a huge proponent
He was traded from Pittsburgh to
Washington midway through last season.
A true professional in all aspects of the
game and a class act off the field, Hurdle
said. Always hunting for an edge or a way to
improve his craft.
Also Tuesday, Evans said the Giants were
finalizing a minor league deal with righthander Bryan Morris that includes an invitation to big league spring training. Morris
was 0-0 with a 3.06 ERA in 24 appearances
for the Marlins in 2016 over 17 2/3 innings.

reach in the trade with the White Sox, he
said, adding hed been engaged with them
for a couple of weeks informally and then it
ratcheted up right before the meetings.
Dombrowski said he began talking to the
White Sox in earnest on Friday.
I guess you can look at quickness in different ways, Dombrowski said.
To New York Mets manager Terry Collins,
it was a great deal for him, being division rivals of the NL East champion Nats.
I really thought for sure he was going to
end up in Washington. I really did, Collins
said. We dodged a bullet.
A few hours earlier, Boston got prime
setup man Tyler Thornburg from
Milwaukee. After that deal was announced,
without tipping his hand, Dombrowski
said, Were trying to win now, as you can

Heisman winner Salaam found dead

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan

Salaam was found dead Monday night
in a Boulder park less than two miles
from Folsom Field, where he carved
his name into the University of
Colorado record books as one of the
greatest players in the programs history.
The Boulder County coroners
office was still investigating the
cause of the death of the 42-year-old
Salaam, who won the Heisman in
1994. The body of the one-time running back was found at Eben G. Fine

COLTS
Continued from page 11
occasional legendary team of EC
past. And the Colts showed it off
against a disorganized Marshall
squad Tuesday, opening the night
on an 11-0 run. El Camino went on
to outscore Marshall 18-4 in the
first quarter and 35-10 in the first
half.
Senior point guard Japheth
Pineda drove the offense nicely during his minutes on the floor,
though Robinson did use the big
lead to get all of his 14 players
plenty of minutes. Pineda settled
for six points while constantly
dishing with misdirect passes
while driving the post to rack up
four assists.
In his second year at El Camino,
Pineda is the only current Colt to
have experienced previous varsity
success as a transfer from Alma
Heights Christian, where he earned
Private School Athletic League

Park in Boulder. Police say foul play

was not suspected.
Salaams mother, Khalada, told
USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday that
police said they suspect he killed
himself. They said they found a note
and would share that with us when we
get there, Salaams mother said.
Dave Plati, associate athletic director at Colorado and a close friend of
Salaams, said the former Buffaloes
star never let on that he was hurting :
When you were around him he was
just the same old Rashaan. You know,
effervescent, jolly, go-lucky, smiling all the time, doing things for

other people.
There was just no way to tell
Salaam had these kind of demons
inside him, Plati added. I was as
close to him as anybody and loved
the guy ... and wish I could have
noticed or done something for him or
wished that he would have called
me.
Salaams death stunned the
Colorado football community which
this year celebrated a revival with a
10-3 record, an appearance in the
Pac-12 championship game and the
Buffaloes first bowl bid in almost a
decade.

North Division Most Valuable

Player honors in 2014-15 while
leading the Eagles to a league title.
Hes a stud, Robinson said.
Hes got a great feel for the game.
Robinson said he is also expecting big contributions from senior
guard Geo Martiniano and senior
forward Alan Ouitayakul, who combined for 11 points Tuesday.
Oligario notched the game-high
with 12 points, including El
Caminos only points of the fourth
quarter with his second 3-pointer of
the night. The Colts took a 52-22
lead into the final eight minutes,
but Marshall started the sloppy
fourth quarter on a 7-0 roll before
Oligario drained the 3 with 2:12
remaining in regulation.
El Camino proved it is still a
work in progress throughout the
second half, refusing to slow the
tempo despite holding a massive
lead.
Once we put the foot of the gas
we cant stop, Oligario said.
The biggest strategic difference
in this years EC squad though is its
defense. Installing a zone defense

for the first time in years, the Colts

stayed faithful to the 1-3-1 zone
throughout the first quarter. In
holding Marshall to four points in
the quarter, its safe to say the zone
saw some success.
We want to be a pressure team
and change the tempo of the game,
Robinson said. If everybody
shows up, we can try a lot of different things with our defense. We
have a couple guys with some
length, so if we figure out how to
use our hands well wreak some
havoc.
El Caminos first test against
Peninsula Athletic League competition comes Wednesday night in
hosting Hillsdale at 7 p.m. Last
year, the Colts opened the season
with three straight games against
PAL teams, all for losses. This year
the start of the schedule has been
much kinder. Although Robinson
said this was not intentional, he is
certainly embracing the momentum.
Im trying to get as many games
to get a flow to establish the energy
of the team early, Robinson said.

Fresh linguine with shrimp and peas

By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This is a dazzler of a pasta dish.

When you combine fresh pasta with
big shrimp you are quickly telling
your guests that they are in for a treat.
But its not just the guests who will
be happy. The whole dish comes
together in about 20 minutes. Really!
Truly!
Adding some of the pastas cooking
water to the dish cuts the heaviness of
the cream sauce, plus the bit of starch
that stays in the cooking water helps
bind the sauce to the pasta.

FRESH LINGUINE

Servings: 6
Kosher salt to taste

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

the shrimp to the skillet and saute for
about 3 minutes until they have started to turn pink but are not cooked

slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.
Add the tomato paste and white wine
to the skillet and stir until the tomato
paste has dissolved into the wine. Add
the parsley, basil, peas and cream and

shrimp to the sauce and continue to
simmer until the peas and shrimp have
cooked through, about 2 minutes.

VAESSEN
Continued from page 1
Vaessen was aboard the USS Utah, a trainer ship and one of the first to be hit by a torpedo when the surprise raid on Pearl Harbor
began shortly before 8 a.m. A Sonoma
County native, Vaessen had only recently
arrived in Hawaii where he was stationed and
worked as an engineer with the Navy.
But that December morning, as he helped
sort out equipment in the Utahs engine
room, Vaessens world would be turned
upside down literally.
The Utah sustained two hits and began to
tilt and capsize. Vaessen was in the engine
room hull and, despite commands to abandon ship, stayed aboard in a valiant effort to
keep the electricity running for his fellow
sailors to escape.
When the torpedoes first hit, he was initially unaware of what was occurring around
him hundreds of Japanese fighter planes
and submarines triggering chaos and
destruction atop the military base where
thousands lost their lives.
As the Utah began to take on water and the
hull rose to break the oceans surface turn-

interior building structure, city records
showed Tuesday.
City officials sent a violation notice for
the first complaint and opened an investigation for the second one.
A building inspector who went to an
Oakland warehouse on Nov. 17 after receiving a complaint of illegal interior construction left after being unable to get inside.
Schaaf said late Tuesday the inspector followed procedure and later sent a request to the
owner to gain entry. She did not reveal the
outcome of that request.

ing the rooms and corridors upside down,

Vaessen said fear sunk in.
When the torpedo hit, I was down below
near the engine room. I was down below
and couldnt get out, Vaessen said, adding
he wasnt fearful at first. But later on when
you see water coming in places it shouldnt,
you know somethings wrong.
Armed with a wrench, Vaessen made his
way further into the hull that was beginning
to broach above water. He recalled opening
an upside-down door and being bombarded
by asbestos stored underneath the ship that
was sinking into the Pacific.
You dont think or plan things, Vaessen
said. You just move along the best you can.
You dont know if youre going to make
it.
He continued to move deeper into the ship
but toward the waters surface. Then, he
began to hear noises. At first it was faint,
just a tap, tap. With the wrench still in his
hand, Vaessen said he responded by banging
against the ship hoping someone would
hear.
And someone did. As he describes it, a
strong boy from Idaho and his mates were
on another ship that avoided being hit.
They rushed to the Utah and helped rescue
the crew trapped inside.

Standing outside atop the base of the

ship, they used a torch to cut a narrow hole
through thick inches of metal. For Vaessen,
the dark abyss of the Utahs hull suddenly lit
up as sparks flew and he watched the red
glow from the torch on the ship.
Eventually, the big strong Idaho farm boy
took a hammer and broke through, exposing Vaessen to daylight.
Once in a while I get a flash of it,
Vaessen said about his rescue. It was other
people that made it so I could survive.
He recalled rushing to shore after escaping the bowels of the ship, astonished by
the mayhem that was occurring around the
harbor.
Most of Vaessens fellow crew on the Utah
escaped but a reported 64 perished. The ship
was one of the few to have been left at Pearl
Harbor like the more notorious USS
Arizona, a battleship where more than a
thousand lost their lives after it was struck
and sunk. Those who died aboard were never
exhumed and the ships serve as maritime
tombs at the Pearl Harbor memorial.
Vaessen has returned several times to the
Hawaii naval base during memorial services
and was invited this year but will stay in
California. After the war, he worked at the
Mare Island Naval Shipyard before moving

to San Mateo where he has lived for 50

years.
For the most part, he maintains a lighthearted humor when telling his war stories.
For instance, he was awarded for his bravery
in staying behind to keep the power running on the Utah. He jokes that when he was
decorated with the Naval Cross one of the
highest medals of valor he asked what
church it belonged to. Another favorite tale
is of a fellow soldier who, immediately after
the attacks, fretted over a tattoo hed recently gotten because he was warned to stay out
of the water.
But there are also solemn stories as
Vaessen is lucky to have avoided death on
more than one occasion. After Pearl Harbor,
he continued in the Navy and was aboard a
ship during the Battle of Okinawa. A
kamikaze pilot struck, killing several shipmates and causing Vaessen to suffer hearing
loss in one ear. Eventually, he was discharged around the time World War II concluded.
Modest in his service, Vaessen is tempered in his reflections on the war and what
led to him witnessing what would go on to
become one of the nations most infamous
days in history.
I didnt go off to war, Vaessen said. The
war came to me.

Under the Oakland city code, building officials and fire marshals need court permission
to enter commercial lodgings if the owner or
manager refuses access.
Building inspectors typically cannot force
entry to a property unless there are pressing
circumstances, Schaaf said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and prosecutors said they are looking
into the possibility of criminal charges.
Alameda County sheriffs Sgt. J.D. Nelson
said Tuesday night that of the 36 victims
found, 35 have been identified and 20 of their
families have been notified. Officials are still
lacking any type of identity for one person.
Record searches and interviews by The
Associated Press indicate that the couple who
leased the warehouse and turned it into rented
living spaces and artists studios, Derick Ion

Almena and Micah Allison, were already

under scrutiny by several agencies.
Some of those agencies had been told or
could have seen for themselves that the family of five and their dozens of artist tenants
were living in a warehouse that had no permit
to operate as a living space and allegedly had
no proper kitchen, electricity, adequate fire
exits or solid stairs.
Almena, 46, is on probation for receiving
stolen property, an Airstream trailer he was
accused of stealing and stashing at the warehouse. The terms of his probation allowed
authorities to enter his home without a warrant, records show.
Child welfare workers had taken away the
couples three children in mid-2015 but
returned them by this past summer, despite
the illegal conditions at the warehouse and

the children being hungry, infested with lice

and frequently truant, Micah Allisons father
and other acquaintances said.
Almena confirmed in a 2015 document that
child welfare workers visited the warehouse
at least twice.
Child welfare authorities refused to comment on the family, citing privacy laws.
In returning the children, the authorities
set certain conditions, including that the
youngsters be out of the warehouse during
the many parties held there, according to
those who knew the couple.
On the night of the fire, Allison and the
three children had checked into an Oakland
hotel, according to Almena. All of them survived. Almena said in a TV interview that he
had little involvement in the party and had
gone to the hotel as well.

Roasted duck is easier and

more delicious than you think
By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The prospect of roasting a duck strikes

many a home cook as a mountain too
high, but Im not sure why.
Its definitely no more complicated than
cooking a whole turkey, and I think it
tastes far better. Some folks surely suspect
that duck is gamey, but thats only true of
some wild ducks. Its not true of the kind
known as Pekin (or Long Island) duck, the
domesticated product most widely available at supermarkets.
Other folks shy away because theyve
heard that duck is too fatty and rich. Sure
enough, there is a fair amount of fat in
duck, but most of it is in and under the
skin. The meat itself actually is quite lean.
And surprise! duck fat, unlike beef
fat and most kinds of poultry fat, boasts
some of the same healthy attributes as
olive oil.
So this holiday season why not roast a
duck? As noted, its pretty simple.
However, you do need to set aside enough
time to let the bird cook properly in the
oven, just as you would when roasting a
turkey. The goal is a bird with crispy skin
and moist meat. The easiest way to make it
happen? Roast the duck low and slow,
pricking the skin every so often to drain
out the fat. (Do be careful, however, not to
prick the meat; you dont want to lose any
juices from the meat.)
At the end of the process, the duck is
treated to a final crisping in a high-heat
oven, then retired for a nice long rest to
let the juices redistribute before the bird is
carved.
The slow-roasting process provides you
with ample time to make a succulent sauce
from the birds giblets, neck and wings.
Those parts are browned in a saucepan
along with onions, carrots and garlic,
then simmered in red wine and chicken
broth, and finally finished with green peppercorns and Dijon mustard. (Youre welcome to lose the peppercorns if theyre

too hot for you.)
The end result is a wonderfully tasty
duck swimming in a French-style sauce.
Fancy! And much more interesting than
turkey. Your guests will think you are a
culinary genius.

salt and pepper. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and roast on the ovens middle
shelf for 3 1/2 hours, removing the roasting pan after the first and second hour of
roasting to re-prick the duck skin.
After the duck has roasted for 3 1/2
hours, carefully pour off all the fat at the
bottom of the roasting pan (reserving it
for other uses, such as sauteing potatoes),
and increase the oven temperature to 450
F. Return the duck to the oven and roast it
for 10 minutes. Transfer the duck to a platter, cover with foil, then let it rest for 30
minutes before carving.
While in the duck is roasting, cut the
neck and wings into 1 1/2-inch pieces. In
a large saucepan over medium-high, heat
the vegetable oil. Add the neck, giblets
and wings. Cook, stirring often, until
golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the
heat to medium and add the onion, carrot
and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are
lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring,
for 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a
boil, stirring to pick up any browned bits
on the bottom of the pan. Boil until most
of the wine has evaporated. Add the celery,
thyme, bay leaf, broth and 1 cup water.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and
cook, skimming off any scum that rises to
the surface and adding water to the
saucepan if the liquid dips below the
bones, until the duck is ready to come out
of the oven.
While the duck is resting, strain the
stock and discard the solids. Measure the
liquid. You should have about 1 1/2 cups.
If you have more, boil the liquid down. If
you have less, add water. In a small bowl,
whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup water.
In the saucepan, bring the duck stock to a
boil, add the flour mixture in a stream,
whisking. Bring the mixture back to a
boil and simmer 4 minutes. Stir in the
green peppercorns and mustard, then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Carve the duck and serve each portion
with some of the sauce.

RAMPS
Continued from page 1
The initiative is brought by San
Mateo city officials as a means of
resolving the dangerous and congested
Highway 101 access point at Poplar
Avenue. But the alternative proposal
to build ramps accessing the Peninsula
overpass alarmed Burlingame residents who live near the citys southern
border.
Im against this as it will turn my
area into nothing more than a traffic
thoroughfare, said resident Laura
Hesselgren, who was one of the 14
speakers pleading with councilmembers to do what they could to block the
project.
But as the Burlingame community
raises opposition, questions remain
regarding their power to influence a
final decision.
I do fear we dont have a lot of control and I do fear this is being driven
by a different city and a state agency
that doesnt put Burlingame first, said
Councilman Michael Brownrigg.
San Mateo officials have amended
the configuration to reduce the threat
of collisions at the Poplar Avenue
access to southbound Highway 101,
and now are in the midst of examining
projects elsewhere potentially offering permanent congestion solutions.
Building ramps connecting to the
Peninsula overpass have been identified as one of the most viable alternatives by San Mateo officials who
expect to soon begin an environmental review process with an eye to ultimately starting construction in 2022.
Currently, two design alternatives
include aligning southbound on- and
off-ramps on the east side of Highway

101 along Amphlett Boulevard.
Alternative 1 is estimated to cost
$61.5 million and would have a smaller footprint by keeping the ramps
tighter against the highway, therefore
potentially requiring less right-of-way
acquisition. However, that option may
require Caltrans to provide exemptions
to its design guidelines. Alternative 2
would involve spreading the ramps out
a bit further from the highway, but
would meet more of Caltrans standards
and could potentially add capacity for
more cars. That option also includes
potentially widening the overpass
bridge and could cost $76.4 million,
according to city staff and consultants.
Property acquisition may require eminent domain, but San Mateo officials
have raised concerns regarding such a
potentially invasive method of taking
land.
As the project is brought by San
Mateo, city officials in collaboration
with county, state and federal transportation agencies will ultimately
decide whether the initiative should
move ahead.
But since the Peninsula overpass
sits adjacent to the border of
Burlingame, residents feel their quality
of life and home values stand to be
adversely affected by a steady steam of
cars coming off the highway and into
their neighborhood.
Burlingame Mayor Ann Keighran
said the fears expressed by residents
were well received by the council.
There is a general consensus here of
the traffic impacts on the neighborhood, she said. I think that is made
perfectly clear here this evening.

Burlingame councilmembers strongly encouraged San Mateo officials to

consider the perspective of the
Burlingame residents who worry about
being subjected to an anticipated
uptick in traffic.
Brad Underwood, director of Public
Works for San Mateo, said the concerns were heard and suggested another
series of outreach meetings in
Burlingame may be in order to assure
all opinions are addressed as the project advances.
But rather than pushing the ramps
project ahead, Brownrigg instead
advocated for San Mateo officials seriously considering shifting their attention to making the needed improvements at the Poplar Avenue interchange to accommodate anticipated
future demand.
In any complex project, there are
alternatives being studied by engineers and there is a no-build option. It
is meant to be a valuable part of any
policy-makers tool kit, he said.
While Gary Heap, San Mateos engineering manager leading the project for
the city, said all alternatives remain on
the table, Brownrigg said some believe
a decision has already been made to
pursue building the ramps.
Peter Aiello, who owns property
near the proposed project site, echoed
Brownriggs sentiment.
It is terrible what they are trying to
do and I recommend we do a no-build,
he said.
Burlingame resident Tim Smith said
he felt San Mateo officials are giving
more consideration to the ramps proposal than they would if the project
territory were closer to the center of
their city.
Most of the problem this causes is
in Burlingame, he said. This wouldnt be looked at the same way it if wasnt right on the border.
