Big step in Ralston Hall rehab

Work to restore, renovate historic building on NDNU campus moves ahead

The Belmont Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve

NDNUs Certificate of Appropriateness to update Ralston Hall.
The restoration and update of the historic Ralston Hall building on the
Notre Dame de Namur University campus in Belmont took a big step forward
Tuesday with Planning Commission
approval of plan details.
The commission voted 6-0 to
approve NDNUs Certificate of
Appropriateness for this project,
which outlines the universitys plan
to conduct a full seismic upgrade
while preserving and restoring the
historic buildings elements. The
plan also includes provisions for
updating the building to facilitate
university programming and improve
ADA accessibility.
Next up for NDNU
is submitting a construction permit to
the city of Belmont
and completing its
fundraising efforts.
Currently, the university is twothirds of the way
Tad Taube
toward the $20 million
needed.
Though the projects progress is contingent on fundraising efforts, the
school is working toward completing
the project in late 2018, which would
allow construction to wrap up in the
150th anniversary year of the original
construction, according to university
and city officials.

Built in 1868, the Ralston Hall mansion became the home of the College
of Notre Dame in 1923 and eventually
housed administrative offices for the
since renamed university until the
structure was closed in 2012. Over the
years, the campus grew around Ralston
Hall while it served as a community
asset with an estimated nearly 40,000
people using the grand ballroom and
facilities for events such as weddings,
conferences, dinners, operas, musicals
and more, university officials said previously.
The building has sat vacant since a
building inspection revealed the his-

Hazardous waste pickup program set to end Police reports

By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Some San Mateo County residents will

have to drop off their household hazardous
waste materials at county facilities starting
next month, as a door-to-door collection
service is coming to an end, according to
county officials.
The Door-to-Door Household Hazardous
Waste Collection Program operated by Waste
Managements At Your Door Special
Collection will end on Dec. 31 for residents
in the South Bayside Waste Management
Authoritys service area.
That area includes the towns of Atherton
and Hillsborough, as well as the cities of
Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster
City, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos
and San Mateo, in addition to some unincorporated areas and areas covered by the West
Bay Sanitary District.
Last month, the SBWMAs Board of
Directors declined to accept a newly proposed five-year pricing presented by Waste
Management for the collection service.

SACRAMENTO The leader of the

from custody to protect them from Presidentelect Donald Trumps plans to boost deportations.
The bill introduced by Democratic Senate
President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon would prevent law enforcement from heeding requests
by U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to be notified when immigrants
are being released from local jails. It would
also ban federal agents from interviewing
Management to extend the current contract

for another five years, however, the contract
was not renewed.
It was a very challenging decision for our
board, Joe La Mariana, executive director of
Rethink Waste said. The quality of the service was terrific but it really came down to
price and a relatively low participation.
According to La Mariana, the contract was
not renewed because it was not cost effective,
as the annual price was set to double by the
end of the five-year extension, from $140
per pickup to almost $300.
Additionally, the annual program participation rates were less than 6 percent.
Rethink Waste also pointed out that San
Mateo County already has an existing household hazardous waste collection drop-off program, which residents can participate in at
any time.
While the service is set to end by the end of
the year, residents still have time to schedule
an At Your Door curbside pickup appointment to get rid of items such as paint, solvents, insecticides, cleaning products, fluorescent lamps, laptops, computer monitors,
televisions as well as needles and syringes.
The program is available at no additional
cost to residents, including those living in

statement on Wednesday.

Waste.
To participate, residents can call (800)
449-7587 or email atyourdoor@wm.com.
Residents are encouraged to call before Dec.
9 to ensure an appointment before the end of
the year.
After an appointment is made, residents
will receive a collection kit within a few days
containing instructions, a plastic bag for the
items, labels and a tie for the bag.
Residents should place the items near the
front door, garage or another area near the
front of the home by 7 a.m. on the day of the
appointment, Rethink Waste officials said.
For residents who are unable to participate
in the service before Dec. 31, they can take
their household hazardous waste material to
multiple drop-off locations throughout the
county. To drop-off their household hazardous waste, residents must make an
appointment at smhealth.org/hhw or call
(650) 363-4718. Appointments for drop-off
are only available Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays.

Police: Fatal fire caused by arson

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo police confirmed last months

fatal three-alarm fire was indeed caused by
arson and are continuing their investigation
into the death of 70-year-old Sandra Caron.
Police announced Wednesday that evidence collected at the scene of the early
morning Friday, Nov. 25, fire led them to
determine the blaze was intentionally set.
Detectives have been working around the
clock through this investigation to conclude the case and get the information out to
our public as soon as possible, said Sgt.
Amanda Von Glahn, who also offered some
reassurances. We believe it to be an isolated incident and theres no threat to public
safety.
Firefighters first responded to the home at
1506 Oak St. around 4:40 a.m. and found
Caron inside. Despite rescue efforts the elderly woman died, prompting police to work
with fire investigators to determine the
cause.
Caron was alone at the time of the fire, but
lived at the house with her husband. Von
Glahn could not confirm whether there were
any suspects, citing the ongoing investigation.

Police were familiar with the residence as
it was the scene of a officer-involved shooting about five years ago. On Feb. 28, 2011,
police ended up at the house after reports of
an emotionally disturbed man displaying a
gun to employees at a nearby drug store.
At the time, the suspect, 35-year-old
Robert Caron, lived at the home and was the
son of Sandra Caron. As officers
approached, Robert Caron began firing and
fled to the backyard of the home where he
was ultimately shot to death by police.
At the time of the incident, Robert
Carons mother reportedly asserted her son
was schizophrenic.
Years earlier, Sandra Caron and her husband ran a spa in downtown San Mateo. The
Sandra Caron European Day Spa closed
around 2007 after the owners filed for bankruptcy.
The investigation into Sandra Carons
death is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Dave
Manion at (650) 522-7654. Those wishing
to remain anonymous can report online at

OAKLAND The fire that killed 36 people

during a party at an Oakland warehouse started on the ground floor and quickly raged, with
smoke billowing into the second level and
trapping victims whose only escape route
was through the flames, federal investigators
said Wednesday.
The occupants were consumed by smoke
before they could get out of the building,
said Jill Snyder, special agent in charge of
the San Francisco office of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
She also confirmed there were no sprinklers or fire alarm system in the building.
Officials previously said recovery efforts at
the site had ended with the death toll remaining at 36.
Snyder reiterated that investigators were
examining a refrigerator and other possibilities as a potential source of the fire but had
not reached any conclusions. Investigators
have not found evidence of arson, but she
said they have also not ruled it out.
Snyder indicated it would be at least several weeks before the investigation was completed.
Officials hope to create a virtual, 3D reconstruction of the building for criminal and
civil investigations and to provide answers
to family members about their loved ones
last moments, Alameda County sheriffs Sgt.
Ray Kelly said.
Where was my son or daughter? Where
were they standing? How come they didnt
get out? he said. Families want answers.
Two juveniles charged in

Tennessee wildfires that killed 14
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Authorities on
Wednesday charged two juveniles in an East
Tennessee wildfire that killed 14 people and
destroyed or damaged more than 1,700 buildings in an iconic tourism spot at the foot of
the Great Smoky Mountains.
Officials offered few other specifics about
how they think the two started a fire that leveled buildings into charred scraps, carving a
deadly path through the Gatlinburg area.
They need answers.

The fire broke out during a dance party
Friday night in the cluttered warehouse.
The structure 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.
Danielle Boudreaux, a 40-year-old hairdresser who was close with Derick Ion
Almena, the founder of the artists colony,
and his partner, Micah Allison, said it was
full of extension cords plugged into each
other that helped supply power to music
equipment, microwaves and hot plates.
There were also RVs inside, she said.
Almena has not responded to emails or
calls by the Associated Press to phone numbers associated with him. He has said he didnt attend the event Friday night, and he is
sorry.
City and state officials fielded complaints
for years about dangerous conditions, drugs,
neglected children, trash, thefts and squabbles at the warehouse, raising questions
about why it wasnt shut down. The district
attorney has warned of possible murder
charges as she determines whether there were
any crimes linked to the blaze.
The fire has cast a spotlight on similar
artists colonies around the country that offer
cheap housing but have raised safety concerns among neighbors and city officials.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said the city
will look to strengthen regulations for
smoke alarms and exits and clarify city
employees responsibilities to monitor
unsafe structures.
Around the nation

People scrambled in terror to try to flee on
foot or drive out of the inferno that often
cloaked them from all sides, shooting hot
embers through the winds. Some spent days
hoping for good news about their missing
loved ones. Many learned they would soon
be planning funerals.
The juveniles face aggravated arson
charges in the fire in the Chimney Tops area
of Great Smoky Mountains National Park on
Nov. 23.

Study: Obamacare
repeal-only would
make 30M uninsured
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Repealing
President Barack Obamas health
care law without a replacement
risks making nearly 30 million
people uninsured, according to a
study released Wednesday.
Separately, a professional group
representing benefit advisers
warned congressional leaders of
the risk of significant market disruption that could cause millions
of Americans to lose their health
insurance.
Republicans dismiss such dire
scenarios, saying that they are
working on replacement legislation for a President Donald Trump
to sign. Nonetheless, the complex
two-stage strategy the GOP
Congress is contemplating has
raised concerns not only among
supporters of the law, but also
industries like hospitals and insurers.
The plan is for Congress to first
use a special budget-related procedure to repeal major portions of
the Affordable Care Act, or ACA,
next year. The effective date of that
repeal would be delayed by months
or even years to give lawmakers
time to write replacement legislation.
The replacement law would presumably do many of the same
things that Obamacare does,
such as subsidizing coverage and

protecting people with health
problems. But it would not
involve as much federal regulation, and it would eliminate a
highly unpopular requirement that
most Americans get health insurance or face fines.
The new study from the nonpartisan Urban Institute looks at a
scenario where repeal goes
through, but replace stalls. It
predicts heavy collateral damage
for people buying individual
health insurance policies independent of government markets
like HealthCare.gov. Though nonpartisan, the Urban Institute generally supports the goal of extending coverage to all Americans.
Previously it has criticized some
of the subsidies provided under
Obamas law as insufficient.
The new analysis warns that
repealing major parts of the health
law without a clear replacement
could upend the health insurance
market for people buying their
coverage directly, outside of the
workplace. That group has grown
substantially under the health care
law, but also includes millions of
other customers.
The study found that 22.5 million people would lose coverage
directly due to repeal of the laws
subsidies, Medicaid expansion,
and its individual requirement to
carry health insurance.

Local briefs
Two plead not guilty

for Foster City murder
Two Southern California men
pleaded not guilty Wednesday to
killing a Foster
City man in
2011 for financial
gain,
according to the
San
Mateo
County District
At t o rn ey s
Office.
D a v i d
David Mitchell Mitchell, 33,
and
Willie
Venable,
66,
will appear in
court again Jan.
9 for a preliminary hearing,
said San Mateo
County District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
The two could
Willie Venable
face the death
penalty if found guilty and they
remain in custody without bail.
They are facing a special circumstance of murder for financial gain
and use of a deadly weapon, according to prosecutors.
The two were arrested on Tuesday,
Nov. 1, for the murder of Klaus
Gachter. Mitchell, of Fontana, previously lived in Foster City and
knew the victim as Gachter and his
mother were friends, Wagstaffe said
previously.
Venable allegedly murdered
Gachter for financial gain at the
behest of Mitchell. Financial
incentives appear to be the motive
for both suspects, according to
prosecutors.
Gachter, a successful international businessman, was 71 when his
house cleaner found him dead Dec.
16, 2011, in his Foster City home

on the 600 block of Waterbury
Lane.
He had apparently been in the
midst of cooking himself a steak
dinner when Venable used a knife to
stab and beat him to death,
Wagstaffe said previously. A critical
piece of evidence tying the men to
the murder was DNA found on a key
that had been left in the door lock to
Gachters home, he said.
Venable, a San Bernardino resident, did not know the victim but
knew Mitchell from living in
Southern California, said Wagstaffe
previously.
Attorneys for Venable and
Mitchell did not return calls for
comment.
Two sentenced for

robbery in connection
with Sunny Day prosecution
Two men were sentenced
Wednesday in connection with a
2013 attempted armed robbery at a
jewelry store near Menlo Park,
according to prosecutors.
Raymond Bradford, 30, was
denied probation and sentenced to
30 years and 4 months in prison
while Rodney Mitchell, 25, was
denied probation and sentenced to
12 years in prison, according to
San Mateo County District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Judge Lisa A. Novak gave both
men credit for the 1,635 days they
have already served.
On Jan. 16, 2013, Bradford and
Mitchell, along with two other
men, attempted to rob Plaza
Jewelers at 3303 Middlefield Road,
just outside of Menlo Park, at gunpoint. The robbers, however, fled
in a white sedan. As deputies fol-
lowed the men,

the
vehicle
crashed
into
another vehicle,
prosecutors said
previously.
Two suspects
were apprehended and the handgun allegedly
Raymond
used in the
Bradford
attempted robbery was recovered, while two
other
men
involved fled. A
third man was
ev en t ual l y
arrested, according to prosecutors.
The three men
Rodney
are all members
of the East Palo
Mitchell
Alto Sunny Day
gang and are facing separate
charges in connection with their
involvement in the gang,
Wagstaffe said previously.

Our beloved Michael Giusti passed away December 3rd

peacefully at his home in Burlingame, California at the young
age of 49 years old due to complications of liver cirrhosis.
While he left us too soon, the life he led during those 49 years
was filled with so many wonderful experiences. Born in San
Francisco in 1966, he was raised in Millbrae with his younger
brother Christopher, by his parents Linda (now deceased)
and Wayne Giusti. He attended schools in the Millbrae
Elementary School District.
It is in Millbrae where Michael fostered a love for athletics, becoming very involved in baseball
and football. In high school he played both offense and defense on the football field and was
thought of as a team leader. When not playing football, he was usually playing baseball. He was
a player on many traveling teams as a catcher and hitter, often playing in the cleanup spot. At
Mills, he was a hall-of-fame and All-County player (his daughter Morgan would also be a hall-offame softball player at Mills, 2012, following in his footsteps.)
Michael attended Menlo College in Atherton on a football scholarship and was starting center
all four years. He graduated magna cum laude from Menlo in 1989 with a B.S. in Business.
He then became a claims adjustor/manager at CNA insurance in San Bruno. Then, in 1997
Michael changed careers and went back to school for a teaching credential and a Master of
Education (2000) from the College of Notre Dame. Michael became a teacher at Burlingame
Intermediate School in 1997 and would remain working there teaching mostly math and
business until his passing.
Michael leaves behind his loving wife Shari, devoted children Morgan and Scott, his father Wayne
and brother Christopher of Millbrae, and his faithful dog Dexter (hed make me add that), as
well as countless current and former students who will always remember him as one of the most
dedicated teachers who had a unique way of making an impression on everyone he met. Funeral
services will be a visitation at Crosby-N.Gray Funeral Home 2 Park Rd, Burlingame, CA) on
Friday, December 9 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and a mass at St. Dunstan Catholic Church (1133

Donald Trump speaks at a USA Thank You Tour event at Crown

Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C.
Blue states wary as Donald

Trump goes on victory tour
By Geoff Mulvihill and Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES As Donald Trump makes his thank-you

tour of states that voted for him, other parts of the country
are gearing up to do battle with his administration.
Three of the most populous, urban and ethnically diverse
states California, New York and Illinois voted heavily for Hillary Clinton and are at odds with the incoming
administration on such issues as immigration, health care,
climate change, abortion rights and gun control.
In Massachusetts, a state Clinton won by more than 25
points, Democratic Attorney General Maura Healey has
threatened to sue if the incoming administration carries out
Trump campaign promises she contends are unconstitutional. The incoming top law enforcement official in California
has hinted at a similar approach.
If you want to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests, then come at us,
Rep. Xavier Becerra said just hours after he was appointed
Californias attorney general by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Nothing has stirred more anxiety in the states that voted
for Clinton than Trumps statements on immigration.
During the campaign, he pledged to deport millions of people in the country illegally and bar Muslims from entering.
In Ohio last week, on the first stop in his thank-you tour,
Trump reiterated his intent to build a great wall along the
Mexican border.
On Monday, the California Legislature returned for the
first time since the election and passed a resolution urging
the Trump administration not to pursue mass deportations.
An estimated 2.4 million Californians are immigrants in
the U.S. illegally.
Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both houses in
California, also announced legislation that would provide
lawyers to those in deportation proceedings and train criminal defense attorneys to advise clients on the immigration
consequences of their cases.
NEW YORK Donald Trump

embraced new Cabinet officers
Wednesday whose backgrounds suggest hes primed to put tough actions
behind his campaign rhetoric on
immigration and the environment,
even as he seemed to soften his yearlong stance on immigrants brought to
the U.S. illegally as children.
Its clearer by the day, underscored
by Trumps at-times contradictory
words, that his actual policies as president wont be settled until after he
takes his seat in the Oval Office.
Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly has
been selected to head the Department
of Homeland Security, and Oklahoma
Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a climate-change denier whose policies
have helped fossil fuel companies, is
to be announced as head of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Separately, Trump named the former
chief executive of World Wrestling
Entertainment, Linda McMahon, to
head
the
Small
Business
Administration and may have
breathed new life into the candidacy of
a secretary of state contender.
Trump said he planned to name his
choice for the key

Cabinet post next
week and insisted
that former rival
Mitt Romney still
had
a
chance.
Trump, who has met
twice with the 2012
GOP presidential
nominee, denied he
John Kelly
was
stringing
Romney along to
make him pay for
earlier remarks that
Trump was unfit to
be president.
No, its not
about revenge. Its
about whats good
for the country, and
Im able to put this
Scott Pruitt
stuff behind us
and I hit him very hard also, Trump
said in a telephone interview on NBC.
Three sources close to the selection
process said late Wednesday that
Romneys stock is on the rise again
within Trumps circle after a period in
which the celebrity businessman had
cooled on the candidacy of the former
Massachusetts governor. But Trump
has changed his mind repeatedly
throughout the process and has
expanded the pool

of
contenders
beyond the previously
identified
final
four
of
Romney,
former
New York City
Mayor
Rudy
Giuliani,
Senate
Foreign Relations
Linda
Chairman
Bob
McMahon
Corker and former
CIA Director David Petraeus.
Trumps long presidential campaign
was in large part defined by searing
rhetoric and his steadfast promises to
build an impenetrable wall on the border with Mexico and crack down on
immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. But he struck a softer tone in an
interview published Wednesday after
he was named Time Magazines
Person of the Year.
Were going to work something
out thats going to make people
happy and proud, Trump said. They
got brought here at a very young age;
theyve worked here, theyve gone to
school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And
theyre in never-never land because
they dont know whats going to happen.
Congress approves biomedical bill as leaders eye adjournment

WASHINGTON Congress sent

President Barack Obama bipartisan legislation Wednesday to beef up research
on cancer and other diseases, battle drug
abuse and speed government approvals
of pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
By 94-5, the Senate sent the measure
to President Barack Obama for his certain signature. The House easily
approved the legislation last week.
The measure plans $6.3 billion over
the coming decade, including $1.8 billion for a cancer research moonshot
strongly supported by Vice President
Joe Biden, whose son Beau died of the

disease. It also envisions giving states
$1 billion over two years to prevent and
treat abuse of opioids and other addictive drugs like heroin, and it reshapes
federal mental health programs.
The vote came as lawmakers raced
toward adjourning Congress for the year
by working on a spending bill that
would boost anti-terror and disaster aid
accounts. It would also grease the way
for retired Gen. James Mattis to be
President-elect Donald Trumps secretary of defense.
Stopgap
spending
legislation
unveiled Tuesday evening would provide
$10 billion for overseas military and

diplomatic operations, while southern
states like Louisiana, North Carolina,
and Texas would receive the bulk of a
$4.1 billion disaster aid package.
The temporary spending measure,
scheduled for House and Senate votes
later in the week, would keep the government open through April.
It would also 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.

Crowd honors gift of

freedom from Pearl
Harbor servicemen
By Audrey McAvoy
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii

Thousands of people observed a
moment of silence before fighter
jets streaked across the sky during
a ceremony Wednesday at Pearl
Harbor marking the 75th anniversary of the attack that plunged the
United States into World War II and
left more than 2,300 service people dead.
The crowd bowed their heads at
the precise moment decades ago
when Japanese planes began their
assault on the harbors U.S. naval
base. And they stood and clapped
when survivors joined active-duty
servicemen and women and
National Park Service rangers in
dedicating wreaths to those killed.
Attendees also gave a lengthy
ovation to Adm. Harry Harris of
the U.S. Pacific Command when
he spoke in favor of standing for
the national anthem.
The anniversary is a tribute to
what freedom does when it is
faced with fascism, said Paul
Hilliard, incoming chairman of
the board of the National World
War II Museum in New Orleans.
I suspect the Americans of
today would do the same thing,
said Hilliard, a Marine veteran and

one of several dignitaries and officials who presented wreaths for
the fallen at a memorial over the
sunken hull of USS Arizona.
America went abroad to gain freedom for millions of other people.
We are an exceptional nation.
The ceremony started with the
USS Halsey sounding its whistle
to mark the start of the moment of
silence at 7:55 a.m. F-22 fighter
jets then flew in formation overhead.
Harris told the crowd the servicemen attacked at Pearl Harbor
engaged the enemy as best they
could, and there is sorrow for
those who died. Yet we are also
inspired by their great gift to the
world the gift of freedom
itself, he said.
Harris also said: You can bet
that the men and women we honor
today never failed to stand for the
national anthem. The crowd erupted in cheers.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick and others have
knelt through the anthem in recent
months to protest police brutality
and the treatment of minorities,
drawing criticism and acclaim.
Reached for additional comment
later,
Pacific
Command
spokesman Robert Shuford said
REUTERS
Pearl Harbor survivor Fred Smith signs his autograph for Melissa Downy before the ceremonies honoring the
75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor at Kilo Pier on Joint Base Pearl Harbor.
Harris remarks speak for themselves.
The ceremony wrapped up with
Marines firing a gun salute and the
Pacific Fleet band playing taps.
Laura Stoller accompanied her
adoptive grandfather and Pearl
Harbor survivor Stan VanHoose of
Beloit, Wisconsin, to the event.
VanHoose, 96, served on the USS
Maryland.
Stoller was pleased to see people jostling for autographs and
photos with survivors.
All of these men who for so

long didnt get the recognition
they deserve theyre soaking it
up. And its so fun to see, she
said.
Survivor Jim Downing of
Colorado Springs, Colorado, said
he returns to Hawaii for the
anniversary commemorations to
be with his shipmates.
We get together and have a
great time and compare our stories, he said.
Downing said fear, anger and
pride overcame him as Japanese

planes bombed Pearl Harbor. Then
a newlywed sailor, he recalled a
Japanese plane flying low in his
direction as he rushed to his battleship from his home after learning of the attack.
When he got the right angle,
he banked over, turned his
machine guns loose, Downing,
now 103, said in an interview at a
Waikiki hotel. He didnt bank far
enough so it went right over my
head.

Syrian government advances despite rebel cease-fire offer

By Sarah El Deeb
and Philip Issa
BEIRUT Syrias government

ignored a rebel cease-fire proposal for Aleppo on Wednesday as its
forces captured new neighborhoods around the city center and
squeezed some 200,000 tired and
frightened civilians into a shattered and rapidly shrinking opposition enclave.
Facing a punishing and brutal
defeat, rebel factions proposed a
five-day cease-fire for the eastern
parts of the city to evacuate the
wounded and civilians wishing to
flee.
The artillery shelling is nonstop, a resident told the
Associated Press by messaging
service. He asked to conceal his
name out of fear for his safety.
The humanitarian situation is
really tough. There are corpses on
the streets. ... There is very little
food. Bread is distributed every

Ex-chief of IRA
splinter group killed
in Irish city of Cork
DUBLIN Police say two gunmen have ambushed and killed a
former top figure in the Real IRA
splinter group in the southwest
Irish city of Cork.
Witnesses say the attackers
approached Aidan ODriscoll from
behind in the street, shot him
once in the back, then twice more
as the 37-year-old lay on the
pavement.
ODriscoll, the Real IRAs
family. Thats small, not enough

for breakfast, he said.
Government officials had not
directly addressed the rebel proposal by the evening.
The decision to liberate all of
Syria has been taken, and that
includes
Aleppo,
Syrian
President Bashar Assad told the
state newspaper al-Watan.
Brig. Gen. Zeid al-Saleh told
state TV that rebels must leave
Aleppo or face death.
The Syrian government and its
ally Russia have rejected previous
cease-fires for the war-torn city,
keeping up the military offensive
that has forced rebel retreats and
displaced at least 30,000 civilians in the past 11 days, according to U. N. figures. U. S.
Secretary of State John Kerry and
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov met Wednesday in
Hamburg, Germany but did not
release any statements.
The rebels made no offer to pull
out of Aleppo, though their proposal promised to negotiate the
fate of the city when the humanitarian crisis eases. A rebel

spokesman said al-Qaida-linked
group Fatah al-Sham Front, which
has a limited presence among the
fighters, will abide by the proposal.
Government forces and regional
militias fighting alongside them,
meanwhile, captured new ground
in Aleppos old city and its Bab
al-Nairab district, home to one of
the citys main water stations,
according to monitoring groups
and state media.
The rebels continued their
shelling of the western government-held districts of the city.
Syrias state news agency reported that 12 people were killed by
mortar and rocket fire landing in
western Aleppo.
Syrian military media said the
government had captured threequarters of the oppositions former enclave Tuesday. The U.N.
estimated 275,000 people were
still residing there before the start

rose, sending yields lower. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.34 percent from 2.39 percent. Bond yields have risen

The lower bond yields have
helped stocks that are seen as bond
substitutes, like real estate investment trusts. Their big dividends
are attractive to investors who
want income, so when bond yields
fall, investors often turn to those

Innovation or monopoly? Panel

looks at ATT-Time Warner deal
By Marcy Gordon
WASHINGTON Senators scrutinizing

the proposed merger of AT&T and Time
Warner homed in on brass tacks with the
companies CEOs. OK, you say this $85.4
billion mega-deal will enhance, not quash,
competition and benefit consumers. Will it
actually reduce prices that consumers pay?
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson assured
the members of a Senate antitrust panel
Wednesday that yes, We will bring the
consumers better price options than what
they have today. He said, though, that it
wasnt possible at this point to separate
how much of the anticipated savings would
go to customers of the companys DirectTV,
broadband and mobile phone services.
Stephenson and Time Warner CEO
Jeffrey Bewkes made the case that the
combined company would push technology forward and lead to more choices for
customers. Together, AT&T and Time
Warner will disrupt the entrenched pay-TV
models, giving customers more options,
creating more competition for cable TV
providers and accelerating deployment of
5G wireless broadband, Stephenson testified.
In hours of questioning before the Senate
Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, the skepticism of some senators seemed to deepen

over what would be one of the largest media
mergers ever.
I have yet to be convinced that the benefits of the merger outweigh the potential
negative effects on competition, Sen.
Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. , told
Stephenson and Time Warner CEO Jeffrey
Bewkes.
Panel chairman Sen. Michael Lee, R-Utah
said, The potential anticompetitive
favoritism that the combined firm could
bestow on its own products is not limited to
price or access, but extends to the quality of
the offerings as well.
The deal must win approval from federal
regulators. It would bind the second-largest
U.S. telecommunications company with a
media and entertainment conglomerate that
owns CNN, HBO, the Harry Potter franchise and pro basketball. Its a big-time bet
on a partnership between a company that
distributes information and entertainment
to consumers, and one that produces it.
Critics of the merger range from industry
analysts and public-interest groups to
President-elect Donald Trump, who promised on the campaign trail that hed kill the
deal because its too much concentration
of power in the hands of too few.
Tesla jobs in Nevada only

one-fifth of projected so far
CARSON CITY, Nev. Electric car manufacturer Tesla Motor Co. hasnt hired as
many workers for a giant northern Nevada
manufacturing plant as it told state lawmakers it expected it would have by the end of
this year, according to a consultants tally.
A Tesla spokeswoman on Wednesday disputed as outdated the results of an audit by
Grant Thornton that said 331 jobs had materialized at the Tesla industrial park along
U.S. Interstate 80 east of Sparks.
However, company spokeswoman Alexis
Georgeson didnt provide additional information.
An analysis presented in September 2014
to state lawmakers before they approved a
$1.3 billion tax inventive to lure Tesla to
Nevada projected employment would reach
1,700 at the plant before January 2017.
Jennifer Cooper, spokeswoman for the
Governors
Office
of
Economic
Development, told the Las Vegas ReviewJournal the new employment report,
released Monday, is not concerning to us at
all.
Theyre hitting the thresholds as weve
defined them and thats whats important,
Cooper said the day after the state issued
Tesla another $8 million in transferrable tax
credits for meeting investment and hiring
benchmarks.
The Grant Thornton audit said employment requirements for permanent employees
and temporary construction workers had
been met without exception.
Cooper attributed the lower employment
numbers to a change in Teslas construction
plans to allow for operations to begin while
the plant is being built.
The report comes with the Nevada state
employment office planning a Saturday job
fair in Las Vegas with Panasonic Energy
Corp. of North America to recruit employees
willing to move to northern Nevada.

Holy Toledo! Bill King finally gets Hall call

OXON HILL, Md. Former Oakland

Athletics announcer Bill King has won the
Ford C. Frick Award presented by the Hall of

The award was announced Wednesday at
the winter meetings. King died in 2005 after
25 years of calling As games.
King liked to punctuate big plays with his
signature exclamation of Holy Toledo! He
also was known for his handlebar mustache
and beard, making his face as well as his
voice familiar with fans.

For nearly a half-century, King called games in
the Bay Area. He started
out as a fill-in on Giants
broadcasts and later did
play-by-play for the
Raiders and Warriors. He

their seventh straight win over Los
Angeles.
Stephen Curry had 19 points for Golden
State, and Kevin Durant, who came averaging a team-best 27.0 points, was held to 16
on 5-of-17 shooting.
Curry failed to make a 3-pointer for just
the second time this season, going 0 of 8.
The Warriors were 7 of 30 from long range.
Jamal Crawford scored 21 points for the
Clippers, who have lost ve of seven. Four
of their seven overall losses have come at
home.
Blake Grifn struggled, scoring 12 points
on 5-of-20 shooting and had seven of the
Clippers 14 turnovers. J.J. Redick had two
points, well under his 15.5 average.
The Warriors set a dominating tone in the
rst quarter when they shot 56 percent. They
erased the Clippers one-point lead with a
28-9 run to lead 37-19.
Golden States defense smothered the
Clippers shooters, who were held to 33 percent in the rst, and forced coach Doc Rivers
to bring in his second unit. The reserves
couldnt get anything going while
Thompson, Curry and Green combined to
score 15 consecutive points as part of
Golden States big run.
Trailing by 20 early in the second quarter,
the Clippers clawed back within seven on
three 3-pointers by Crawford, including a
rainbow that just beat the shot clock. Paul
added seven points and DeAndre Jordan
dunked to get to 53-46. But just as quickly
the Warriors restored their lead to 62-49 at
halftime, capped by Greens 3-pointer.
Even a 12-0 run by the Clippers only cut
their decit to 14 points late in the third
after they fell behind by 27 earlier in the
quarter. On the Warriors last possession,
Curry and two teammates fell down but
Kevon Looney still dunked to send them

Palo Alto buries Burlingame in Lions Club tourney

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Palo Altos Miles Tention picked

off a Burlingame pass for the second possession in a row, you could see on his face
he was determined to punctuate his shot
attempt as he rose up for a dunk.
He was denied by the rim. But that was
about the only thing that went wrong for
the Vikings boys basketball team as for
the second game in a row they ripped their
opponent in the 40th annual Burlingame
Lions Club tournament at Burlingame High.

After whipping Sacred Heart Prep 80-55
in a first-round game Tuesday night, Palo
Alto did the same against host Burlingame
in a semifinal matchup Wednesday night,
beating the Panthers 81-41.
We put the ball on the floor and they
took it. They had 43 points off turnovers
last game, said Burlingame coach Pete
Harames. [Palo Alto is] a very good team.
Vikings head coach Peter Diepenbrock is
not sure how good his team is as of yet.
Its hard to know, said Diepenbrock, a
Burlingame alum. Until we play against a

team that really makes us pay for our press,
I just dont know.
Heres what we do know: in the first two
games of the tournament, Palo Alto did not
wait around for its opponent to get into a
groove. The Vikings exploded out of the
blocks and before you knew it, they were up
8-0 less than two minutes into the game. A
baseline jumper from Jack Baker got the
Panthers on the scoreboard and after he hit
one of two free throws, Burlingame trailed
10-4 with 4:16 left in the first quarter.
Palo Alto then proceeded to go on a 9-0

run to extend its lead to 19-4 with 1:26 to
play.
Burlingame appeared to right the ship
over the final minute of the quarter, getting
a 3-pointers from Michael Adams and a fastbreak layup from Robert Uhrich to close to
19-9 after one period of play.
It would be as close as the Panthers would
be the rest of the game. The Vikings

McCaffrey to turn pro

STANFORD After gaining more than 6,000 yards the past

two seasons, setting an NCAArecord and finishing as the runnerup last year in the Heisman Trophy balloting, Christian
McCaffrey was ready for his next challenge.
McCaffrey announced Wednesday that he will skip his senior

play at the next level. Ive had some success

well as coach David Shaw, before making his
decision. He announced it by releasing a
Christian
long statement on Stanfords website titled

McCaffrey said he made the announcement now so the decision
wouldnt overshadow Stanfords upcoming Sun Bowl appearance

NFL game well.

I think I put a lot out there and I think Im ready for everything, he said. I think I can run between the tackles, run outside, line up in shotgun and run the ball there, along with running
routes and doing all the special teams stuff. Im excited to translate that to another level.
Despite his prolific numbers in college headlined by breaking
Barry Sanders record for all-purpose yards in a season with 3,864
yards in 2015, some doubters have questions about whether the
6-foot, 200-pound McCaffrey can handle the rigors of the NFL as
a featured back.
Shaw, who coached in the NFL as an assistant for nine years
and has served as a draft analyst for NFL Network, finds that
laughable, pointing out the numerous times McCaffrey ran
through tackles in college and used his strength routinely to turn
4-yard gains into 8-yard runs.
Then theres the speed and elusiveness that made McCaffrey
such a big-play threat in college and has Shaw comparing him to
stars like LeSean McCoy, LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshall
Faulk.
Shaw said hed be surprised if McCaffrey was not taken in the
first round.
There are a lot of teams right now that are licking their chops
for a guy who is a Swiss Army knife of a human being, he said.
Theres just not much he cant do, and not just do it but do it
extremely well.
McCaffrey rushed for 2,019 yards and eight scores, added 645
yards receiving with two more touchdowns and had 1,200 yards
and two TDs as a returner in 2015 when he narrowly lost the
Heisman to Alabamas Derrick Henry and was selected as AP
Player of the Year.
McCaffrey was not as prolific this season as he was slowed in
October by an injury. He still rushed for 1,596 yards and increased
his yards per carry from 6.0 to 6.3 despite a less accomplished
line and passing game. He also scored 16 touchdowns overall
this season for the 16th-ranked Cardinal (9-3).
What hes done here at Stanford is awe-inspiring, its jawbreaking. Its up there with Andrew Luck, John Elway and Jim
Plunkett, guys who have done phenomenal things, Shaw said.
Hes done all you can do at the college-football level. Hes physically and emotionally prepared and we are excited for him.

Ottawa gets
late goal to
beat Sharks
By Rick Eymer
SAN JOSE Chris Kelly scored with 1:06 remaining and

Jean-Gabriel Pageau added an empty-net goal, giving the
Ottawa Senators a 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on
Wednesday night.
Mark Stone and Erik Karlsson also scored for the
Senators, who beat the Sharks for a fifth straight time.
Theyve won three straight in San Jose for the first time
ever.
Logan Couture and Brent Burns scored for the Sharks, who
had a three-game winning streak snapped.
Mike Condon stopped 35 of 37 shots for the Sens. The
Sharks outshot Ottawa 18-4 in the third period, and Martin
Jones allowed three goals on 16 shots overall.
The Senators struck quickly, recording a power-play goal
less than four minutes into the contest. Mike Hoffman
tossed the puck toward the net and it bounced off Burns
skate. Burns lost sight of it and Stone picked it up, firing
past everybody into the net.
Hoffman has a point in six straight games and in eight of
nine since missing a pair of contests with an injury.
Karlsson made it 2-0 with a goal about four minutes later.
Sharks defender Brendan Dillon tried clearing it from in
front of the net, but Karlsson was right there to fire it to the
high glove side.
Couture got the Sharks on the board with a power-play
goal midway through the second period. The Senators
cleared the puck two straight possessions before Joe
Pavelski rushed to the net and then slipped the puck to an
open Couture, who has six goals in his past eight games,
about 10 feet away for the score.
Burns tied the score 6:30 into the third period, methodically working the puck to set up a shot that squeezed past
Condon to the glove side.

straight contest with a lower body injury. ... Stone has eight
points in his last six games. ... Karlsson has nine points in

Raiders visit K.C. with playoff implications

By Dave Skretta
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Raiders and

Chiefs are such bitter foes that not even a
late-season game between losing teams
with no hope of a division title or playoff
berth would take away the importance of a
matchup.
Now, consider the stakes when they meet
Thursday night.
The Raiders are 10-2 and leading the AFC
West, one of the surprise teams in the NFL,
while the Chiefs are 9-3, with a win over
Oakland already in their pocket. The winner
of their prime-time matchup at frosty
Arrowhead Stadium will have the inside
track on ending a lengthy division title
drought, not to mention the potential for a
first-round playoff bye and a home game in
the second round.
We know the type of game it is, big
game, Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson
said. The Chiefs and Raiders have a long
history against each other. You understand
the importance and what youre playing for,
but you have to treat it like any other
game.
Good luck with that.
The Raiders are trying to win their seventh straight for the first time since 1976,
when they later beat the Vikings in the
Super Bowl. And theyre trying to reach the
11-win plateau for the first time since 2002,
a season that also ended in the Super Bowl
with a loss to the Buccaneers.
The Chiefs have won seven of their last

eight, a stretch that began with a 26-10 win
in Oakland on Oct. 16, and have won four
straight against their old AFL rivals. And
while the Raiders are chasing their first
division title since 2002 , the Chiefs are
trying for their first since 2010 .
Significant stakes, to be sure. Just like in
the 1960s, when the Raiders and Chiefs
were often in contention.
We always have old players come in and
talk to us and tell us how violent the games
used to be, and how physical they used to
be, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said,
and obviously, they talk about how the
games changed and things like that, as all
past players do. Thats really the main thing
that sticks out how violent and physical
the games were. They would always talk
about that.
Theres a good chance Thursday nights
game looks similar.
First, the Chiefs have ferocious linebacker Justin Houston back from the knee
injury that sidelined him for the first
matchup. And the Raiders counter with a
defense led by Khalil Mack that shut out
Buffalo for most of the second half last
week, allowing Oakland to rally for a 38-24
victory.
Then, consider the weather: The forecast
calls for temperatures in the teens at kickoff, with a wind chill that could dip into the
single digits by the fourth quarter.
It should make for an old-school matchup
with stakes that couldnt be much higher .
You have to get ready for the team. You

cant worry about all that, Chiefs coach
Andy Reid said. You spend all your energy
studying the team and getting yourself to
know the game plan. Anything short of that
I think youre short-changing yourself, if
youre worried about magnitudes and all that
stuff.
As the Raiders and Chiefs prepare to meet
for the 116th time, here are some key story
lines:
Maclin in the saddle

Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has
missed four games with a groin injury, but
hes been practicing the past couple of
weeks and theres optimism hell be available. If thats the case, itll be an awesome
addition, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith
said. Jeremy is a special player.
Series dominance
The Chiefs have won six of the last seven
in the series, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio is
winless against Kansas City in three tries
with the silver and black, and Smith is 8-1
against the Raiders in his career. I dont
know if you can lump them together,
Smith said. You try to play the chess game
here in the rematch: what is different, what
can we change?
Gimmicky? Sure
Del Rio took some heat from Chiefs fans
for calling Smiths play gimmicky after
their first meeting, but he intended it as a

compliment. The constant shifts, unorthodox lineups and fake handoffs kept getting
Oakland out of position. Those are effective plays. You can call it what you want,
Del Rio said. If the word is something they
dont like, too bad.
Double trouble
While Mack gets the attention on
Oaklands defense with sacks in seven
straight games, and back-to-back games
with strip-sacks and recoveries, linebacker
Bruce Irvin also must be feared. He has
sacks in three straight games. We feed off
each others energy, Mack said.
Shoptgun snaps
After hurting his pinkie two weeks ago
while taking a snap, Carr has not gone
under center. He worked exclusively out of
the shotgun against Carolina, then the
shotgun and pistol formations against
Buffalo. We worked a lot on it in the offseason, Carr said of the pistol. Its cool to
actually take it out there and use it.
Tay train
After missing the first meeting with
Kansas City with turf toe, Latavius Murray
will be counted on to give the Raiders a big
boost. He has six touchdowns in the past
four games. Any way I can be a threat, he
said, any way I can get the ball in my
hands, he added, I want it.
Kelly returns to 49ers after fathers funeral

By Josh Dubow
SANTA CLARA Coach Chip Kelly

returned to the San Francisco 49ers on
Wednesday after being away for two days for
his fathers funeral and he got some hugs from
his players as he walked out to the practice
field.
Paul Kelly died at age 87 last Friday, apparently of a heart attack. Chip Kelly flew to
Maine to be with his family immediately following Sundays game in Chicago and
returned to the Bay Area on Tuesday night after
attending the funeral.
He just had a zest for life, Chip Kelly said.
He was one of the happiest people you ever
met. I think he really just enjoyed what he did.
He was a lifelong learner. He had a thirst for
knowledge and an insatiable appetite for information and he was just

always fun to be around.
He tried to show that and
he really did. I think the
people that ever were
associated with him kind
of thrived off of that from
him.
Chip Kelly
Paul Kelly was so loyal
to his son that he wanted to be buried in a
49ers sweatsuit instead of a suit like he wore
during his career as a trial lawyer.
Kelly told the team about his fathers death
last Saturday night in Chicago and then
coached the loss against the Bears before
leaving for the funeral. Kelly said he spent
extra time with players like Jeremy Kerley and
Torrey Smith, who each dealt with the death of

a brother during past seasons.
I think hes dealt with it better than I would
have ever imagined, Smith said. Its tough.
Its something I can relate to him on in terms
of losing a family member during the season
before a game. I know exactly how hes feeling. Obviously, it was my brother and not my
father but its tough and I think for us as players and even people on the outside, you sometimes forget that theres a man behind that
uniform or a man thats coaching and they
have real life problems just like everyone
else.
Kelly also said that he never talked with
Oregon about returning to the school as coach
after Mark Helfrich was fired last month. The
Ducks hired Willie Taggart on Wednesday as
their new coach.
Kelly said he would never look into another

job while the season was still in progress
because of lessons of commitment instilled in
him by his father.
I dont know why college questions ever
come up with me because I would never leave
my players before the season ended and thats
what Ive said all along and thats the way Ill

second quarter with a 13-0 run to push its
lead to 32-9 and all but put the game on ice.
How bad was it for Burlingame? Palo
Altos Jack Simison jacked up a 3-point
attempt, missed, grabbed the rebound and
slashed his way to the bucket for a layup.
After scoring 19 points in the first quarter, Palo Alto put up 28 in the second and led
the Panthers 47-14 at halftime.
Diepenbrock said his style is not necessarily to put the pedal to the metal, but he
said he is making an exception for this
years squad.
We have a lot of guys who are good high
school basketball players, Diepenbrock
said. We want to use our depth.
Use it the Vikings did as 12 of the 15
players on the Palo Alto roster got in the
scoring column. Spencer Rojahn led the
way with a game-high 15 points, one of
five Vikings players to score in double figures. Simison added 14, Max Doward finished with 12, while Jared Wulburn and
Tention each had 11.
Burlingame played a little better in the
second half, scoring 15 points in the third
quarter alone to eclipse the 14 first-half
points the Panthers had. In the fourth quarter, it was all about getting bench players
playing time. If there was a silver lining for
Burlingame, it was the play of third-string
center Nevin Alexander, a 6-5 senior transfer from South Carolina. Matching up with
Palo Altos burly Ervin Brown, a 6-6 junior
center, Alexander might have pushed for
more playing time as he finished with 8
points and 4 rebounds, most of which came
in the fourth quarter.
Hes very inexperienced, Harames said
of Alexander. But I think he has potential.
With the victory, Palo Alto moves into
the championship game where it will face
Stuart Hall-SF, which upset Half Moon Bay
48-42 in the other semifinal. That game
tips off at 8 p.m. Friday.
The third quarter was similar to the second. Stuart Hall built a 10-point lead, only
to see Half Moon Bay cut its deficit to three,
36-33, going into the fourth quarter.
But the Knights would not fold. After
Paulie Ferrari slashed to the basket for the
first bucket of the fourth quarter that got the
Panthers to within a point, 36-35, Stuart
Hall responded with a 5-0 run to lead 41-35
with 4:04 to play. Back-to-back buckets
from Ethan Menzies cut the Knights lead to
41-39 with 3:10 to play, but the Cougars
could not get over the hump as the Knights
did just enough at the free throw line to ice
the game.
Menzies had a big game for Half Moon
Bay, scoring 12 points and pulling down a
game-high 15 rebounds. The Cougars were
led by Andrew Saffolds 13 points.
Stuart Hall was paced by Sean Ingoglia,
who finished with a game-high 17 points.

FIFA to use replay for first time

LONDON Referees will be
allowed to get help from video
replays at the Club World Cup in
Japan in the first full live in-game
trial of the technology that could
transform soccer.
Referees could halt games to
review footage of game-changing
decisions on pitch-side monitors
or just rely on information being
fed by Video Assistant Referees
(VARs) watching broadcast feeds
away from the field, officials said
Wednesday.
Since experiments with replays
were approved by soccers lawmakers in March, FIFA said semi-live
trials in games have taken place
with some information being
transmitted to referees by VARs.
But on the eve of the Club World
Cup opener between Japanese side
Kashima Antlers and New
Zealands Auckland City, FIFA said
Thursdays game and the rest of the
Club World Cup through Dec. 18
would be used for an important
piece of history.
It is the latest sign of FIFA belatedly embracing technology, four
years after the Club World Cup saw
the first use of systems to detect
whether the ball has crossed the
line for a goal.
Its important to remember that
we are entering somewhat unchar-
tered territory here, given that we

are going live for the first time,
said Marco van Basten, the former
Ajax and Milan forward who was
hired as FIFAs chief officer for
technical
development
in
September.
Ultimately, these tests should
prove invaluable in terms of determining whether the processes are
sound or whether any further
refinements are needed.
The VARs in a video operations
room will only give information
to the main referee to help correct
any game-changing decisions,
the
International
Football
Association Board, the games
lawmaking body, said. These
involve four situations: goals
being scored, penalties being
awarded, players being sent off and
cases of mistaken identity.
In a significant development
that will be new for many viewers,
the main referee may decide to
review footage directly on a pitchside monitor particularly for
subjective decisions, as opposed
to factual ones where he can rely
solely on the information provided by the VAR, IFAB said in a
statement. The philosophy underlying the experiments is not to
achieve 100 percent accuracy for
all decisions, as this would destroy
the essential flow and emotions of
football.
The aim is to achieve minimum

interference, maximum benefit,

with the technology only being
used for the defined match-changing situations and any serious
missed incidents. In these cases,
the question a VAR will consider is
not was the decision correct? but
was the decision clearly wrong?
Referees still retain the authority
to take the make the final judgment. Managers and players will
not be allowed to appeal to referees
to review an incident.
Live tests are set to be expanded
globally in 2017 with a decision
anticipated by the following year
on VARs becoming a permanent
feature in soccer. FIFA President
Gianni Infantino, who has
observed recent off-line trials with
VARs at Italy games, wants video
replays in use at the 2018 World
Cup in Russia.
The progress FIFA has made on
this project, especially around educating referees and ensuring all
technical requirements are met, has
been impressive, IFAB technical
director David Elleray said.
Hawk-Eye, which provided the
goal-line technology at Euro
2016, is being used by FIFA at the
Club World Cup for the replays
experiments.
The Club World Cup also
includes Champions League winner Real Madrid and Copa
Libertadores champion Atletico
Nacional from Colombia.

SAN FRANCISCO A person with

knowledge of the talks says the San
Francisco Giants have agreed to trade righthander Chris Heston to the Seattle Mariners
for a player to be named.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity Wednesday because the swap
isnt final.
The Giants didnt have a spot for the 28year-old in their rotation featuring Madison
Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija,
Matt Moore and Matt Cain.
After going 12-11 as a rookie in 2015 and
pitching a no-hitter against the Mets on
June 9 that year, Heston spent most of this
season in the minors, making just four
appearances for San Francisco. He went 1-1
with a 10.80 ERA in five innings of relief.

champion Chicago Cubs have acquired star

The trade was announced Wednesday at the
winter meetings.
Davis will take over the ninth-inning role
held by Aroldis Chapman, who became a
free agent after the Cubs won their first
championship since 1908.
The 31-year-old Davis went 2-1 with 27
saves in 30 tries and a 1.87 ERA last season. He spent time on the disabled with a
forearm injury and was limited to 43 1/3
innings, but returned to pitch in September.
Davis has done especially well in the
postseason and helped the Royals win the

Construction for the lights has already

In Half Moon Bay, a partnership between

There have been rumors that Half Moon
Bay would use the facility as its new home
court, but athletic director Justin Ferdinand

The person spoke on condition of

A versatile 31-year-old, Desmond hit
.285 with 22 homers and 86 RBIs this year
in his lone season with Texas, earning his
first All-Star trip since 2012. He played
shortstop from 2011-15, then was shifted
to the outfield by the Rangers. Colorado
SAN JOSE San Jose State has hired

Oregon State assistant Brent Brennan as its
new head football coach.
Athletic director Gene Bleymaier announced
Wednesday that Brennan will replace the fired
Ron Caragher as coach for the Spartans.
The 43-year old Brennan was an assistant
coach at San Jose State from 2005-10 under
Dick Tomey and Mike MacIntyre. He spent
the past six seasons as wide receivers coach at
Oregon State, where he coached standouts like
Brandin Cooks and Markus Wheaton.
Caragher went 19-30 in four seasons before
being fired last month.
At the minimum, we would like to host

all our quad games there, Ferdinand said.
The hope would be to host more, including possibly the PAL tournament for next
season.
As athletic director, I want to showcase
the facility as much as we can, as much as
the district and the other entities would
allow us to use it.
Ferdinand said the new community gym,
which in on the campus of Cunha Middle
School, would nearly double capacity of
the current gym on the high school campus.
When youre using the Championship
Court, which is what were calling the
main court (at the new facility), there is
seating for 1,200. The seating right now
on campus is about 750, Ferdinand said.
Construction on the new gym began in
October 2015 and the new court was recently installed. Half Moon Bay boys basketball coach Rich Forslund said after a recent
game he hopes both the boys and the
girls teams would be able to host a few
late regular-season games at the new facility. Ferdinand said there are grand plans for
a grand opening, but he was not ready to
go on the record with it because it is one of
the details still being worked on. Lets just
say if youre a fan of the Cougars, keep an
eye on the second-to-last game of the PAL
North schedule.

He felt strongly about certain topics,

always drove a car that was at least 20 years
old and was just an incredible personality,
an eccentric in a positive way that stood out
even in the Bay Area, which is full of

Saddle up in style on new rocking horses

By Kim Cook
The rocking horse, offspring of the hobby horse,

seems to have appeared first in the early 17th century.
Not much more than a log with board sides, it may have
been inspired by the cradle, according to Alec Kinane of
Legends Rocking Horses in Buckinghamshire, England.
The horse on bow rockers that we know and love
today was a product of 18th century England, Kinane
says. It was popular with the wealthy, and it is said they
were used to help develop childrens balance for riding
real horses.
Kinane and his wife, Beverley, have been hand-carving
and restoring rocking horses for 30 years. Their finely
finished steeds, crafted from hardwoods like oak and
cherry, with real horse hair manes and tails and leather
saddles, sell for thousands of pounds.
It may have been Queen Victorias love of the rocking
horse that led to its becoming a childrens favorite.
Maggi Batch is a collector and dealer in antique rocking horses, in Norfolk England.
When I was a child, because we came from a poor
background, a rocking horse was just something we saw
if we visited a stately home, she says. When I had children, they did eventually get a rocking horse a fiberglass replica which was for its time a lovely item.
I soon found that the antique ones, when restored with
their patina, were addictively collectible, and so it went
on. (www. rockinghorseheaven. com)
There are less elaborate wooden rocking horses, like
KidKrafts Derby horse. More of a horse-shaped rocking
bench with yarn mane and tail, its nonetheless a sturdylooking steed. (www. wayfair. com)

Netherlands use Kvadrat wool and French oak to create

three style-savvy rocking toys in shapes that surprise: a
gray cloud, a jaunty bowler hat and a slice of watermelon.
In collaboration with fashion designer Monique
Lhuillier, Pottery Barn Kids has created a diminutive rideon elephant. In shell-pink polyester velvet with dovegray wooden handles and runners, it would appeal to the

Kitchen trends and innovations for 2017

By Melissa Rayworth
Americans briefly scaled back the

scope of home renovation projects
after the recession began nearly a
decade ago, says interior designer and
HGTV Design Star judge Vern Yip.
But even during the peak of that focus
on smaller, more sustainable living,
the size and complexity of kitchen
designs continued to grow.
The kitchen is the heart of the
home, Yip says, and people see it as
good place to spend money and recoup
the investment when they sell their
home.
Whats trending in kitchen design as
2017 approaches? Weve asked Yip and
two other interior design experts
Caleb Anderson, co-founder of the New
York-based
design
firm
Drake/Anderson, and Brian Patrick
Flynn, interior designer for HGTVs
Urban Oasis 2016 home giveaway
to share their favorite innovations and
thoughts on which trending design
choices will stand the test of time.
GET CREATIVE
THINK BLACK AND WHITE
Anderson also notes that its popular

to design a kitchen island out of different materials than the cabinets and
countertops. That puts a personal stamp
on the room, especially if you make
your island out of a distinctive piece of
furniture, like a vintage cabinet.
By using popular materials in unique
ways, you can design a kitchen that
feels current but wont look dated as
trends change. Flynn is fan of that
approach: For HGTVs Urban Oasis
giveaway house this year, he chose a
reflective, black marble mosaic tile for
the kitchen walls, from the counter all
the way up to the ceiling. The look is
on-trend, but has a classic beauty that
wont need renovating in a few years.
He also used concrete for the countertops, a popular option now but one
with a classic simplicity. Along with
concrete, Anderson and Yip says quartz
countertops are popular. Quartz is more
durable than marble, which can easily
stain, and more consistent in color
throughout a large slab.
Black and white are the trendiest colors now for kitchen design, and Flynn
points out that theyre also timeless. A
black and white palette works with virtually any accent color, he says, so if
you go black and white, you really
only have to spend once.
Right now, black appliances with
more of a matte finish are among
Flynns favorites.
Yip says cabinets in both black and
white are popular, and look great
mixed together.
Thats another trend all three designers are seeing: upper and lower cabinets done in different finishes and
materials. Anderson recently designed
a kitchen in London that has upper
cabinets made of metal and glass, with
lower cabinets made of cerused wood.
They need to complement each
other, he says, but everything doesnt have to match.
A black and white palette works with virtually any accent color.

Why, what and where to compost? A look at the basics

By Lee Reich
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heres a riddle: What will weed, feed

and water your garden, and take care of
your garbage?
Ideal teenager is not the answer.
Its compost!
Compost is hard to define. In some
sense, the apple core I tossed on the
ground a month ago is on its way to
becoming a compost of some sort. But
compost is usually taken to mean a pile
of organic material stuff that is or
was living deliberately assembled
for relatively fast decomposition.
The finished product is a witches
brew of partially decomposed vegetable and animal matter, teeming with
living bacteria, fungi and animals. A
key ingredient to a good garden.
WEED YOUR GARDEN

Compost will weed your garden
when applied as a mulch. Weeds have a
hard time fighting their way to the
light through a 1- or 2-inch blanket of
compost laid over the soil. A well-made
compost pile will get hotter than 140
degrees F, which is hot enough to kill
most weed seeds (and most disease
organisms) that might find their way
into the pile as old plants, pulled weeds
and other organic materials are added.
Of course, a weed is just a plant in the
wrong place, and one welcome weed
that the compost mulch brings to my
garden is tomato. Tomato seeds resist
the temperature of composting.
Tomato plants are easy to weed out;
some gardeners leave some to grow on
and fruit.
FEED YOUR GARDEN

Compost is rich in nutrients that will
fertilize your garden.
The 10-10-10 on a bag of commercial fertilizer means the bag contains

10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 10 percent potash. These
three nutrients are what plants need in
greatest quantities, but theyre not the
only nutrients needed.
What about more than a dozen other
elements essential for plant nutrition?
Corn stalks from last years garden,
thistles that once poked their spiny
heads up in meadows, and rinds from
oranges eaten last winter rot together
to form compost that provides a smorgasbord of essential nutrients.
WATER YOUR GARDEN

Compost will not literally water your
garden, but it will help your garden
become more water-efficient. Water
falling on the surface of a compostenriched clay soil will be absorbed like
a sponge, rather than gouging out
rivulets as it runs across the soil surface.
Roots need to breathe, so they
cant do their job in sodden clay soils.
Under those conditions, they cant
even take up water, so they wilt, just as
they do from drought. Add some compost to such a soil, and the soil
becomes better aerated so roots can
function.
At the other end of the spectrum are
sandy soils, into which water percolates easily but then just keeps going
and runs out of reach of plants.
Compost will act like a sponge to hold
water in a sandy soil.
GARBAGE MANAGEMENT
Compost will not take out your
garbage, but it will take care of it.
Watermelon rinds, corn cobs, old broccoli, old pizza they all make smelly
Compost will not literally water your garden, but it will help your garden become more water-efficient.
garbage but great compost. Bagged in
plastic, garbage becomes a vilesmelling slime. Ground into your
garbage disposal, it taxes septic systems and sewage plants. Instead, why
not turn garbage into compost?
Compost, like bread, is best homemade. Making it entails science and art
if you want it to get hot and finish
cooking quickly. Not to worry,
though: Any pile of organic material
will eventually turn to compost.
The one thing you can do to improve
your composting, and its easy, is to
make your compost in a bin. A bin
might be home-made from lumber or
cinder blocks, for instance or
bought. It fends off scavengers, holds
in heat and moisture, and makes the
pile look like a compost pile rather
than a garbage pile.

EXHIBIT
were relocated to assembly centers and
internment camps such as the Tanforan
Assembly Center in San Bruno and the
Topaz Internment Camp in Utah.
The exhibits focal point draws the
visitors eye to the flight suit of Allen
Brown, a student at San Mateo Junior
College who became a fighter pilot and
later served in the Korean War. His
story is joined by those of James
Swett, another SMJC student, and Les
Williams, one of a Tuskegee Airmen
and among the first African-American
pilots to fly a bomber plane.
The last room of the exhibit features
voices from families affected by the
war. Letters from family members in
Menlo Park to their loved ones fighting overseas, the ration book of a 6month-old child, and the radio that an
Italian family used to listen to Franklin
Delano Roosevelts Dec. 8, 1941,
address to Congress fill this part of the
exhibit. A portal where visitor can listen to firsthand accounts of residents

living in San Mateo at the time.
History museum staff made an extra
effort to collect these oral histories,
which will move to the museums
archives at the exhibits conclusion.
For Postel, these personal accounts
provide invaluable insights into the
mindset of these individuals, and that
of a nation, during a time of crisis.
Postel noted memories as fleeting as a
smell or taste served as a reminder that
our country was at war.
It was interesting how everyone had
the same thing to say [in the oral histories]: butter was the biggest sacrifice.
Postel hopes that the exhibit will put
these war efforts into context with
more modern wars visitors may have
experienced firsthand. Contrary to
recent conflicts, World War II activities
affected the lives of seemingly everyone.
This was the worlds most dramatic
conflict. For a lot of people, this was
good versus evil. It engaged the whole
world at one point or another, he said.
To forget it would be a huge mistake.
The Peninsula At War! exhibit will
stay open for the next two years. Visit

for public and private meetings and

events is consistent with its past historical use as a public space for meetings and receptions. Though the second, third and fourth floors are slated
for new uses, including administrative
offices and classrooms, their key historical elements will be preserved
under the plan.
NDNU President Judith Maxwell
Greig attended the meeting, accompanied by university administrators and
representatives from Nova Partners,
chosen by the university to manage
the project.
Denny Lawhern of the Belmont
Historical Society lauded the universitys efforts to restore Ralston Hall.
I want to thank Notre Dame de
Namur University for raising the funds
for these updates. This was a big effort
to preserve this building, he said.
People have asked me When is
Ralston Hall going to open? The
building is an asset to the community
as a whole, and I agree 100 percent
with what they want to do.
Commissioners voiced support for
the universitys efforts to restore a historical landmark and engage the

Belmont Historical Society in planning these upgrades.
I think its great to preserve the
house that gave Belmont its start,
said Commissioner Thomas McCune.
Commissioner Nathan Majeski was
impressed with the universitys thorough and thoughtful approach to these
updates.
Its clear you werent going for the
minimum, he said.
Dino Hernandez, NDNUs vice president for Advancement, was encouraged
by the Planning Commissions vote.
Last nights meeting was a real
strong endorsement from the city, he
said. Were glad that the city is
behind us in retrofitting this historic
mansion.
Carlos de Melo, Belmonts director
of Community Development, is hopeful about the projects future.
We certainly hope to see the project
come through, he said. It will be a
great benefit to NDNU and to the community.
of the ramp into some foliage, Healy

said.
Unfortunately, he could not avoid a
Hyundai Sonata or a GMC Yukon. The
truck hit both vehicles, went up an
embankment and fell on its right side,
trapping the driver.
Firefighters used the Jaws of Life
to get the man out of the big-rig and
he was uninjured, CHP Officer Art
Montiel said.
Healy said, He did a good job of
avoiding a bad situation and making it
worse.
The driver could have crashed into a
whole bunch of cars on the highway,
Healy said.
The driver of the GMC complained of
pain. The driver of the Hyundai was
uninjured, Montiel said.

Featuring scenes and artifacts from
the countys war effort, the exhibit
illustrates the wars magnetic effect on
the Peninsula. This shift is not lost on
Mitch Postel, president of the San
Mateo County Historical Association,
who is passionate about recognizing
the impact of these years on San Mateo
Countys history.
The San Mateo County we know
today has roots in the war and immediate post-war period, he said. This was
an opportunity for us to make that
statement.
Walls cluttered with photos, war
bond posters and shadow boxes filled
with artifacts allow visitors to see the
wars impact through the eyes of
Peninsula residents. One corner features black-and-white photos of antiaircraft artillery and a real-life Azimuth
scope, documenting the dotting of the
California coastline with military outposts.
Another corner puts visitors behind a
chain-link fence to gaze at the sparse
possessions Japanese citizens were
allowed to take with them before they

in 2011. With strong support from Tad
Taube, a philanthropist and former
member on the schools Board of
Trustees, the university successfully
raised $12 million toward a seismic
upgrade. This is part of a larger effort
to raise an estimated $20 million needed to bring it back to being both earthquake safe and restore the facilities to
hold classrooms, seminars and meeting spaces.
At Tuesdays meeting, architectural
historian Richard Brandi presented his
findings from a historic resources

who can help you flesh out an idea that will secure
your position. Dont give in to anyone putting demands
on your time or asking for money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Its an opportune day to
make arrangements to do something unique with a
loved one. Letting your life become too mundane or

routine will cause dissatisfaction. An adventure will

cloud your vision. You have to look at the facts and be
willing to take some of the blame when disagreements

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
NOTICE OF RESOLUTION ADOPTION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City
of San Bruno, California (the City) at its regular meeting on,
Tuesday, December 13, 2016, at the Senior Center starting at
7:00 p.m., 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, will consider a resolution adopting affordable housing impact fees for
residential developments and commercial linkage fees for nonresidential developments. The fees initiated by this resolution
are reasonably related to the need for affordable housing associated with development projects in the City of San Bruno.
The proposed resolution will implement an ordinance adopted
by the City Council on November 22, 2016 amending and replacing Chapter 12.230 of Title 12 (Land Use) of the San Bruno Municipal Code to establish an affordable housing program
and affordable housing impact fees for new residential and
nonresidential development projects in San Bruno.
The adoption of the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because the resolution creates a governmental funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a
potentially significant effect on the environment. (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
A copy of the proposed fees and data regarding the need for
affordable housing associated with development in San Bruno,
including the cost of affordable housing and funds available to
provide affordable housing, is available for review at the office
of the City Clerk, 567 El Camino Real, San Bruno, California
94066. Written comments may be sent to the City Clerk at the
same address. Further information may be obtained from Mark
Sullivan,
phone
(650)
616-7053,
e-mail
msullivan@sanbruno.ca.gov.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that if you challenge the adoption of
the resolution in court, you may be limited to raising only those
issues you or someone else raised at public hearings before
the City of San Bruno or in written correspondence delivered
to the City of San Bruno at, or prior to, the public hearing.
The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment. Disabled persons requiring accommodation in order to participate
in the public hearing may contact the City Clerks Office at
(650) 616-7058. TDD users may contact the California Relay
Service at: 1 (800) 735-2929.

Case Number: 16PRO00549
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Belle S.K. Taylor also
known as Belle Skinner Kilborne Taylor.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Peter M. Folger, Edward S. Rowland and
Bradley R. Cook in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Peter
M. Folger, Edward S. Rowland and Bradley R. Cook be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. The petition requests the
decedents will and codicils, if any, be
admitted to probate. The will and any
codicils are available for examination in
the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 13, 2017 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
