Sewage flood brings lawsuit

Millbrae homeowner alleges infrastructure failure resulted in human waste spill
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A Millbrae resident is suing the

city on claims she suffered significant property damage when raw
sewage backed up through her
plumbing and flooded her home.
Juliann Forcum, who lives on

Poplar Avenue, filed a lawsuit last

month in San Mateo County
Superior Court alleging human
waste came spewing into her home
last year from the sewage main
owned and operated by the city of
Millbrae.
Immediately following the accident last year, Forcum claims a

This case is all about personal

responsibility. Why should a citizen of the city have to go hire a
lawyer to get their home repaired?
She is a longtime resident. Its
kind of odd they treat their citizens this way, said Ara
Jabagchourian, an attorney representing Forcum.

Millbrae Public Works representative acknowledged the issue was

caused by a failing of the citys
underground infrastructure. But an
attorney hired by Forcum said a
subsequent claim filed against the
city seeking damages was denied,
leaving his client no other option
than to take legal action.

Forcum paid about $16,000 to

have her home cleaned and repair
the damage to sheetrock and paint,
among other efforts. The lawsuit
does not seek a specific amount in
relief, but Jabagchourian said the
suffering his client experienced

Thought for the Day

A two-alarm fire left four

apartment units
uninhabitable at a building in
East Palo Alto Thursday
morning, the Menlo Park Fire
Protection District chief said.
The fire was reported at 11:01
a.m. at the Woodland Park
Apartments at 1928 Cooley
Ave., Fire Chief Harold
Schapelhouman said. Fire
crews responded and had
the blaze out in about 20
minutes, Schapelhouman
said. A third-floor unit was
destroyed in the fire, while
smoke damage left the unit
across from it uninhabitable.
First- and second-floor units
directly below the one that
caught fire had water
damage and residents were
displaced there too,
Schapelhouman said. He said
employees at the apartment
complex are coordinating
with a moving company to
relocate the residents to
vacant apartments elsewhere
in the complex so they won't
have to find other housing.
No injuries were reported.

WHITE TOWNSHIP, N.J. A

Christmas tree farmer has found and
returned a wedding ring that slipped off a
New Jersey mans finger roughly 15
years ago.
David Penner lost the ring during a
visit with his wife to Wyckoffs Tree
Farm in White Township. He returned
and searched, but the ring was nowhere
to be found.
I thought it was a miracle, Penner
said of the farmers find.
John Wyckoff, a third-generation
tree farmer, told NJ.com he was riding
on the back of a tractor sticking trees
in the ground in April when he spotted
something shiny in the soil. He sifted
the dirt and found the wedding band. An
NJ.com report on the discovery last
week spurred a call from Penners sister-in-law, who connected the two
men.

California conjoined twins

separated in successful surgery
PALO ALTO Conjoined California
twins Eva and Erika Sandoval have
become two separate toddlers following
a 17-hour marathon surgery at the Lucile
Packard Childrens Hospital Stanford
that began on Tuesday, officials said.
The Sacramento Bee reported the 2year-old Sacramento area girls were born
conjoined from the chest down and
shared a bladder, liver, parts of their
digestive system and a third leg.
Their parents said each girl has
retained portions of the organs they
shared. Each girl still has one leg and
surgeons told the newspaper both would
likely need a prosthetic leg. The third
limb was used for skin grafts to cover
surgical wounds.
Their parents were overjoyed with the
success of the separation, which father
Arturo Sandoval called a major success. They look amazing. Theyre
amazing. They have their hair done, and
theyre resting, said mother Aida
Sandoval. Were just going to take it
one day at a time and let them catch up on
their rest.
The twins and are expected to remain
in intensive care for up to two weeks,
hospital officials said.
Following such surgeries, the first 72
hours are typically the most critical, said
Dr. James Goodrich, director of pediatric
neurosurgery at Childrens Hospital at
Montefiore in New York.

GGNRA access rules

limit off-leash areas
Dog owners disappointed, plan to sue
By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A final proposal from the National Park

Service released Thursday for dog management rules in the Golden Gate National
Recreation Area was met with disappointment from dog owners who have been pushing to maintain access to on- and off-leash
areas.
The Final Environmental Impact Statement
adds new on- and off-leash areas in San Mateo
County in response to public comments, but
still cuts 90 percent of the areas where dog
owners are currently allowed to walk their
dogs off of a leash, according to Andrea
Buffa, a member of the group Save Our
Recreation.
Im sure the park service wants to make
this sound like a compromise but the impact
that its going to have on people who get
their exercise outdoors by walking their dogs
is going to be severe, Buffa said.
Buffa said it appeared likely that her group
will need to sue the park service to challenge
the rules in court once they are finalized.
The agency and dog owners have been battling for years over proposed restrictions on
dog walking within the 80,000-acre national
recreation area, which spans Marin, San
Francisco and San Mateo counties and

The park service has said the plan includes
22 locations for dog walking within the
GGNRA, including six where off-leash dogs
are allowed. The areas include nearly onethird of the mileage on the parks beaches and
more than one-third of the mileage on trails,
according to the park service.
The proposed rules also allow groups of up
to 4-6 dogs to be walked with a permit.
Park service officials have said the rules are
needed to protect environmental resources
and wildlife and provide a safe experience for
park users.
The Dog Management Plan seeks to balance recreation and preservation at Golden

recreational users, and protect park resources

The groomer, later identified as then 38year-old Zarate, was arrested that same day

Massive toy drive aids service organizations

Wonderland of Christmas Holiday Festival this weekend in Menlo Park
By Aimee Lewis Strain
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

More than 35 Bay Area childrens service

charities will be able to give more toys to
their clients this holiday season, thanks to
a Belmont mother-daughter duo that spends
each year collecting toys and planning
unique holiday decorations for their seasonal, pop-up toy workshop.
Now in its 22nd year, the Bob Hoskins
Toy Drive provides each of the organizations with at least five enormous boxes of
toys, Carolyn Hoskins and daughter Kate
Hoskins estimate. But as for a total there
hasnt ever been much time to count them
all, Carolyn Hoskins said.
We are just so happy to be able to gather
the toys or match toys with wish lists,
Carolyn Hoskins said. One year we did
bicycles for one organization and then had
to race to get all the toys on a list for another. But it is so well worth it knowing that
a child will be so happy on Christmas
morning.
Making kids happy has become Carolyn
Hoskins passion. And why she does it is
simple to her. I love the idea of the smiles
on the faces of the kids. To be able to give
back and make someone elses holiday special really means a lot to me.
With some corporate sponsors and a lot
of friendly supporters, the Hoskinses aim
to help as many organization as they can.
And qualifying isnt tough.
We try to focus on smaller organizations
that kind of get lost in the shuffle during the
holidays, Carolyn Hoskins said. We give
toys to any small organization or even a
family that might not have enough in their
budget to purchase toys for their kids this
Christmas.
Carolyn Hoskins said that the method of
matching toys with people is very simple,
in the form of a faxed request to the organization and most likely the wish is granted.
For the past four years, Kate Hoskins, a
Safeway manager with a region of 20 stores
that spans parts of Alameda and Contra
Costa counties, has introduced a new way of

toy drive as vacant space is hard to come by

these days. She said she started looking for
a spot in early October and wasnt offered a
Menlo Park location until about three
weeks ago.
And with just three weeks, the motherdaughter team was able to pull off the toy
drive and much more.
Carolyn Hoskins has decorated more than
30 artificial trees she collects throughout
the year to provide the ultimate winter wonderland for the kids to see during an annual
holiday festival. This years event takes
place Saturday at noon. Families are invited
to the Wonderland of Christmas Holiday
Festival from noon until 7 p. m. The
Celebrity Legends portion of the event will
take place at 2 p.m. a feature that brings
former NFL football players to the workshop to sign autographs for kids who bring

Oakland artists fear crackdown after Ghost Ship fire

By Jocelyn Gecker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Ghost Ship is now

gone. But theres The Salt Lick, the ominously named Deathtrap and other converted warehouses where artists are holding
emergency meetings behind locked metal
doors.
Oakland has long been hospitable to an
underground art scene that flourished in its
abandoned industrial warehouses and helped
put this gritty city on the worlds art map.
But now its art and music underground is
panicking and bracing for a crackdown.
Painters, musicians and struggling artists
of all types came to live and work, to perform and dance late into the night and to be
surrounded by creativity.
They tolerated the exposed wiring, spotty
electricity and other dangers or inconveniences of often unregulated warehouses, as a
trade-off for affordable housing and studio
space in one of the countrys priciest housing markets.
Those now living in buildings with
numerous code violations fear their

Everyone is really worried right now.

This has ignited a lot of fear, said Mara
Barenbaum, 32, a singer and musician who
spent seven years in an artist collective.
She has held strategy sessions with other
artists and helped write an open letter urging the city to protect the vital artistic fabric of Oakland by making buildings safe
and not throwing artists out on the street.
The tragedy is the latest upheaval for
artists in the Bay Area, who flocked to
Oakland after the tech boom made San
Francisco unaffordable only to have the
housing crisis follow them. Oakland rents
are skyrocketing, and developers are converting old warehouses into flashy apartments.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has sought
to ease the artists concerns but also says

Colleges pushed to note sexual misconduct on transcripts

By Bill Draper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Colleges that

expel students whom they suspect of having committed sexual assault are being
asked to go further by specifying the reason
for expulsion on their transcripts.
Victims advocates say its critical to
ensuring that such students dont end up on
other campuses without their new schools
knowing the potential risk and to holding
them accountable, long term, so they cant
just move on with a clean slate.
Virginia and New York already have such a
requirement and a California congress-

woman, Rep. Jackie

Speier, introduced a bill
Thursday that would
expand it nationwide
while allowing such
notations to eventually
be expunged. Speier, a
Democrat from the Bay
Area, said most schools
Jackie Speier already note incidents of
cheating on students
records, so it makes sense to note if someone was expelled for sexual misconduct.
Sexual assault is a far more serious
offense that deserves at least as much, if not
greater, scrutiny, Speier told the

Associated Press in an email last month.

Opponents, though, say such transcript
notations would be unfair. They point out
that these sexual misconduct findings are
made by the schools, not the courts, and
that in many cases, prosecutors have
opted not to press charges due to a lack of
evidence. Furthermore, schools have a
lower bar for determining culpability
than the justice systems standard of
beyond a reasonable doubt. Title IX, the
federal law prohibiting gender-based discrimination in education, including sexual h aras s men t an d s ex ual v i o l en ce,
requires schools to find an accused student responsible if theres a better than

50-50 chance a sexual assault occurred.

It is an uneven playing field from the
start, said Justin Dillon, a Washingtonbased lawyer who has defended dozens of
students accused of sexual misconduct.
Regardless of what colleges want to say,
the burden is always on the accused student
to prove his innocence, not the other way
around.
The Title IX requirements can expose
schools to lawsuits. Thats the case at the
University of Kansas, which is being sued
by two former members of the womens
rowing team who accuse the school of mishandling their claims against a football
player.

Chief of staff Priebus?

Some Donald Trump
loyalists still dubious

Donald Trump speaks with the media after meeting with families of the victims of the Nov. 28 attacks at Ohio State University.

Trump meets with Ohio State

victims, taking on somber duty
By Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa In the midst of

his Cabinet deliberations, Presidentelect Donald Trump flew to Ohio
Thursday to meet with victims and families after the latest U.S. outbreak of violence, a somber duty that became all too
familiar to his predecessor.
In Columbus, Trump met with those
who had been attacked by a knife-wielding Ohio State University student and
had words of tribute for astronaut and
senator John Glenn of Ohio indeed
an American hero who died Thursday
at 95. Then he was off to Des Moines,
Iowa, for the latest stop on his victory
tour of states that helped him win the
presidency.
The script is not yet written. We do
not know what the page will read tomorrow. But for the first time in a long time
we know the pages will be authored by
each and every one of you, said Trump,
who mixed in promises to heal a divided
nation with boasts about the size of his
victories, from the early primaries to
last months defeat of Hillary Clinton.
Trump also brought Iowa Gov. Terry
Branstad onstage and praised his pick
to be the next ambassador to China,

saying Branstad knew how to get

things done and would improve one
of the most important relationships we
have.
In the middle of it all, Trump also
made his latest Cabinet announcement,
picking fast-food executive Andrew
Puzder to lead the Labor Department.
Puzder heads CKE Restaurants Holdings,
the parent of Carls Jr., Hardees and
other chains. The Californian was one
of Trumps earliest campaign financiers,
and his selection brings yet another
wealthy business person and elite donor
into his administration-in-the-making.
Trump flew to Columbus to meet with
several people who were slashed by
Ohio State student Abdul Razak Ali
Artan. Artan, 18, first rammed a campus
crowd with his car before getting out
with a knife and stabbing students
before being fatally shot by police. The
president-elect spent about 30 minutes
with some of the victims and their families.
These are great people, amazing people, said Trump, who also paid tribute
to the first responders who tended to the
victims and shot the attacker. The families have come through this so well.
Trump met with the families privately
and aides did not immediately provide an

Second officer shot in Georgia

dies after suspect found dead
A second Georgia police officer died
Thursday, a day after being shot alongside a
fellow officer who was a lifelong friend, and
the hunt for the suspected gunman ended
when a SWAT team found the fugitive dead
apparently by his own hand inside a
home where he was hiding.
Officer Jody Smith initially clung to life
after being gravely wounded Wednesday
when the university officer went to help his
friend, Americus Officer Nicholas Smarr,
respond to a domestic dispute call at an
apartment in rural Americus, about 130
miles south of Atlanta.
Both men were shot. Smarr was killed and
Smith was airlifted in critical condition to a
hospital in Macon. The university that
employed Smith announced Thursday
evening that he had died.
Officer Smith showed extreme bravery in
the line of duty as he responded to a call for
backup, Georgia Southwestern University
President Charles Patterson said in a statement.
News of Smiths death came a few hours
after the hunt for the suspected gunman
ended.
Police offered a $70,000 reward for information leading to the capture of 32-year-old
Minquell Lembrick. A telephone tip
Thursday morning sent them to a home
where the suspect was said to be hiding,

accounting of what was discussed. But,

in his brief statement to reporters, he
took on the role of comforter-in-chief,
avoiding the inflammatory rhetoric that
has marked his response to other
attacks.
Immediately following the Ohio incident, Trump had tweeted that Artan, a
legal Somali immigrant, should not
have been in the country. And last week,
in nearby Cincinnati, Trump said lax
immigration policies enacted by stupid
politicians led to the violent atrocity.
Later in Iowa, he did not mention the
attacker but declared: This horrific
assault is just one more tragic reminder
that immigration security is national
security. A Trump administration will
always put the safety and security of
American people first.
It was also revealed Thursday that
even after Trump moves into the Oval
Office, he will retain an executive producer credit on the reality show
Celebrity Apprentice. The news,
which was first reported by Variety,
raised questions about a conflict of
interest since Trump will have an interest in a show broadcast on NBC while he
is being covered by the networks news
division.

Pizza shop gunman says he

regrets how he handled situation
SALISBURY, N. C. The man accused
of firing an assault rifle inside a
Washington restaurant said he regrets how
he handled the situation but refused to
completely dismiss the false online
claims involving a child sex ring that
brought him there.
I just wanted to do some good and went
about it the wrong way, Edgar Maddison
Welch, whos been jailed since his Sunday
arrest, told The New York Times in a
Wednesday videoconference.
Welch, 28, told the newspaper he started
driving to Washington from his Salisbury,
North Carolina, home intending only to
give the Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant a
closer look. But while on the way, he said
he felt his heart breaking over the thought
of innocent people suffering.
Welch would not say why he brought an
AR-15 into the pizza shop and fired it, the
newspaper reported.
Asked what he thought when he found
there were no children in the restaurant,
Welch said: The intel on this wasnt 100
percent. But he would not completely dismiss the online claims while talking to the
newspaper, conceding only that there were
no children inside that dwelling.

WASHINGTON When President-elect Donald Trump

tapped Reince Priebus as his chief of staff, Republican leaders cheered the prospect of a close ally
having a top White House job.
But as Priebus tries to wield his influence and bring more structure to the president-elects freewheeling political
organization, hes frustrating some
longtime Trump allies who see him as
too conventional a pick for an unconventional president. Others fear being
Reince Priebus left behind as Priebus fills out West
Wing jobs.
The dismay over Priebus stems in part from a belief
among some Trump loyalists that the outgoing Republican
National Committee chairman expected Trump to lose the
election. They resent the president-elect rewarding people
who thought he wasnt going to win, according to one top
adviser.
Still, Priebus appears to have Trumps trust. Hes been
given wide authority to name senior White House staff,
according to people involved in the transition, and in shaping the decision on who will succeed him at the RNC,
though deliberations over that post continue.

Stay or go? Tribe gives

conflicting messages to
North Dakota protesters
By Blake Nicholson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BISMARCK, N.D. For protesters fighting the Dakota

Access pipeline, the messages from the Standing Rock
Sioux reservation are confusing: The tribal chairman tells
demonstrators that its time to leave their camp and go
home. Another leader implores them to stay through the
bitter North Dakota winter.
The conflicting requests show how the camps purpose
has widened beyond the original intent of protecting the
tribes drinking water and cultural sites into a broader stand
for Native American rights.
Camp occupants are working through the confusion, said
Jade Begay, an organizer with the Indigenous
Environmental Network. The rest of the world just needs to
hold tight and be patient, she said.
Since August, the camp on federal land near the reservation and the pipeline route has been home to thousands of people protesting the four-state $3. 8 billion
pipeline designed to carry oil to a shipping point in
Illinois.

U.S. life expectancy falls as

many kinds of death increase T
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A decadeslong trend of rising life expectancy in the U.S. could be ending: It declined last year and it is no better
than it was four years ago.
In most of the years since World War II,
life expectancy in the U.S. has inched up,
thanks to medical advances, public health
campaigns and better nutrition and education.
But last year it slipped, an exceedingly
rare event in a year that did not include a
major disease outbreak. Other one-year
declines occurred in 1993, when the nation
was in the throes of the AIDS epidemic, and
1980, the result of an especially nasty flu
season.
In 2015, rates for 8 of the 10 leading causes of death rose. Even more troubling to

health experts: the U.S. seems to be settling

into a trend of no improvement at all.
With four years, youre starting to see
some indication of something a little more
ominous, said S. Jay Olshansky, a
University of Illinois-Chicago public
health researcher.
An American born in 2015 is expected to
live 78 years and 9 1/2 months, on average,
according to preliminary data released
Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. An American born in 2014
could expect to live about month longer,
and even an American born in 2012 would
have been expected to live slightly longer.
In 1950, life expectancy was just over 68
years.
The United States ranks below dozens of
other high-income countries in life
expectancy, according to the World Bank. It
is highest in Japan, at nearly 84 years.

Surgeon General sounds alarm

on teens use of e-cigarettes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. surgeon general is calling e-cigarettes an emerging public

health threat to the nations youth.
In a report released Thursday, Surgeon
General Vivek Murthy acknowledged a need
for more research into the health effects of
vaping, but said e-cigarettes arent harmless and too many teens are using them.
My concern is e-cigarettes have the
potential to create a whole new generation
of kids who are addicted to nicotine,

Murthy told the Associated Press. If that

leads to the use of other tobacco-related
products, then we are going to be moving
backward instead of forward.
Battery-powered e-cigarettes turn liquid
nicotine into an inhalable vapor without
the harmful tar generated by regular cigarettes. Vaping was first pushed as safer for
current smokers. Theres no scientific consensus on the risks or advantages of vaping,
including how it affects the likelihood of
someone either picking up regular tobacco
products or kicking the habit.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Friday Dec. 9, 2016

Guest perspective

Tom Price and Health and Human Services

Other voices

The Wall Street Journal

he belief among Democrats

that a Republican could
never win another presidential election was apparently so firm
that theyre still in a state of shock.
Theyre even more stunned that
Donald Trump has dared to name an
Obamacare critic as his health-care
point man which makes for an
instructive moment.
Tom Price, a six-term Georgia congressman and mild-mannered orthopedic surgeon, is an unlikely villain. But liberals are already saying
the Health and Human Services nominee will shred the social contract,
leave poor people and cancer
patients panhandling for care, and
jail women for their reproductive
decisions. Cecile Richards of
Planned Parenthood claims that Mr.
Price poses a grave threat to
womens health in this country.
Earth to the abortion lobby:
Declining to mandate and federally
subsidize birth control coverage is
not the same as banning it.
Meanwhile, the American Medical
Association is facing an internal and
social-media revolt over an anodyne
statement that called Mr. Price a
leader in the development of health
policies to advance patient choice
and market-based solutions as well
as reduce excessive regulatory burdens. Supposedly this was a betrayal of doctors and patients, or something, but the big health-care societies always cater to power. They do
so because so much of medicine is
decided by government.
Mr. Prices nomination is a
refreshing signal that such state
control isnt an inevitability or

necessity, starting with replacing

Obamacare. Most liberals are getting the bends coming up from their
false triumphalism. Theyve spent
years claiming the center-right
vision for health care isnt worth
serious study while mocking
Republicans for supposedly futile
repeal votes. Maybe Republicans
meant what they said.
Youd think that the people who
designed and enforced a failed program might show more humility, or
at least stop lecturing others. Even
Hillary Clintons staff recognized
the law is imploding. In a private
Nov. 23, 2015, memo published by
WikiLeaks, Chris Jennings, a former
Obama aide who joined the campaign, wrote that the laws performance is at best, disconcerting and
identified other troubling signs.
One of them is that only about 8
million people have paid the tax
penalty for violating the individual
mandate to buy insurance, and
another 12 million have received
regulatory exemptions. In other
words, more people who were supposed to benefit from Obamacare
have opted out than have enrolled.
Now Democrats are assailing Mr.
Price for proposing alternatives to
the mess they created. The
Republican, who took over the
House Budget Committee from Paul
Ryan, is a thoughtful and wellinformed problem solver. Unlike
many of his colleagues, Mr. Price
hasnt dodged details and specifics.
He proposed an alternative to
Obamacare during the 2009-10
debate and in the years since hes put
flesh on the bones, including with

legislative language.
Mr. Prices Empowering Patients
First Act relies on fixed-value tax
credits to stabilize the insurance
markets outside of employer-sponsored coverage. The switch to a
defined contribution from a definedbenefit model is based on the transition to 401(k)s from pensions.
The American Medical Association
is also right about Mr. Prices opposition to central health-care planning. Obamacare says the HHS
Secretary shall write more than
1,800 regulations, and HHS has put
out tens of thousands of pages of
rule-makings. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics notes that employment
among medical and health services
managers has increased by 31.5
percent since 2011. These are administrative workers who dont treat
patients but merely ensure compliance with federal and state mandates,
and they help explain why U.S.
health care is so expensive.
On that score, Mr. Trump also
excelled by making Seema Verma his
director of the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, with its trillion-dollar budget. Shes an architect
of the Health Indiana Plan under former governor Mitch Daniels and
then Mike Pence that makes
Medicaid more like private insurance
and encourages beneficiaries to contribute to their own care. Ms. Verma
even got a waiver from the Obama
HHS, which in general has tried to
suppress state innovation.
Republicans will have challenges
as they attempt to transcend their
own divisions and take responsibility for health care policy for the first
time in a decade. But sending Mr.
Price over to HHS is one of Mr.
Trumps better personnel decisions.

What a spin
Editor,

and Minister Goebbels propaganda
machine to match any comparable
spin Jorg Aadahl (Electile dysfunction letter in the Nov. 16 edition of

No, I am not comparing the persons,
only their methods of unsupported
claims and twisted facts. I cannot
deal with all his points, just a few.

Interestingly, the main argument
against voter IDs was a claim there
are almost no cases of voter fraud.
And if there are, IDs would take care

Caring for Mother Earth

By Georgi LaBerge

am grateful for the many wonders provided to us by

nature. Each day as I poke about in my garden, I feel
joy in the greening plants, chirping birds and
buzzing bees. Add to that blue skies, warm sun and the
purring of our cat, Silver, and I am in seventh heaven. How
fortunate we are to live where we still can enjoy the beauty
of nature.
I am saddened, however, by accounts I
hear of major companies and individuals
who place prot ahead of care for our
planet. And with the recent election, I
fear a reversal of President Obamas
executive orders on climate change. I am
worried. How long will it be before it is
too late to repair the damage humans are
doing to the Earth?
My early years were spent in Southern
Colorado where I grew to appreciate the wisdom of Native
Americans who inhabit this area and the nearby states of
New Mexico and Arizona. As a child, it was clear to me that
my neighbors revere the Earth and all of its creatures.
One of my favorite Native American sayings is: Treat
the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It
was loaned to you by your children.
I fear that the Earth we return to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be sadly degraded, and
may eventually lead to the end of our civilization.
These thoughts sat with me since my attendance at a
three-day National Convention sponsored by Conscious
Elders Network. The goal of the gathering was to explore
how seniors can work together to create a better world for
current and future generations. Among the topics discussed
were environmental and climate action, social and economic justice and regenerative living.
Environmental actions taken by individuals, no matter
how small, is a step toward saving the planet. I take this to
heart by recycling religiously, growing vegetables and
herbs and reducing water usage by removing a lawn and
installing native plants. In addition, many of my garments
are purchased from shops that sell used clothing.
As a family, both my husband and I drive hybrid cars and
we have installed solar panels on our garage. Our meals
mostly consist of vegetables, fruit and grains, which
require much less feed and water to produce than animal
meats. I enjoy eating the leftovers from these plant-based
meals. My husband, not so much.
Outside the home, among my charitable work is serving
on the board of CityTrees, a group of volunteers who plant
trees in public spaces in Redwood City and prune them as
the trees mature. Since the group was formed in 2000, nearly 3,000 trees have been planted and nearly a third have
been pruned. It pleases me to check on trees in neighborhoods where I helped plant. I also make nancial donations
to environmental nonprots.
I learned from attending the Conscious Elders Network
Conference that my activities fall into the category of modeling or setting a good example.
My efforts to reduce damage to the Earth can help send a
message, but only to those who actually see me doing these
things. I doubt many people know I seriously recycle, that
I become ecstatic over planting succulents and cactus, that I
wear secondhand clothes and that I really love leftovers.
So, I think I need to take my activism to the next level
making it public. Is this scary to me? Yes!
Can I put myself out there? What would I do? Here are
some ideas:
1). I could work with an environmental group, in addition
to CityTrees, on a project;
2). I could write letters to the editor; or maybe an op-ed
piece;
3). I could lobby local ofcials to support environmentally sustainable projects;
4). I could lobby legislators to pass pro-environmental
legislation; and
5). I could take part in a march to the state Capitol, perhaps speak on the steps of the Capitol.
Its a good list. I plan to do at least several of these activities. To inspire me to do more, I will think about the children yet to be born who deserve a sustainable place to live.
I recall hearing a quote from the Conscious Elders
Network Conference that touched me deeply. I dont remember the authors name, and I dont recall the precise wording, but this is my paraphrase:
The voices of my great-great-grandchildren wont let me
sleep. I hear them crying and calling to me, If you knew
our Earth was in great danger, why didnt you do something?
Think about it. What more can you do to save Mother
Earth?

Stock indexes again set all-time highs

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK After a quiet

start, major U.S. stock indexes
again set all-time highs Thursday
as the market built on a surge the
previous day. Banks continued to
lead the way as bond yields
jumped, and small-company
stocks soared again.
Bond yields in the U. S. and
Europe, particularly in heavily
indebted countries, jumped after
the European Central Bank surprised investors by saying it will
reduce the size of its monthly
bond purchases. That sent interest
rates higher, which makes it more
profitable for banks to lend
money.
Bond yields are creeping higher as these central banks are easing off the pedal a bit, said John
Canally, an investment strategist
for LPL Financial.
Energy companies rose with the
price of oil and companies that
make chemicals and other basic
materials also climbed. Industrial
companies and makers of household goods slipped, which held
stocks back from even larger
gains.

The European Central extended
its bond-buying economic stimulus program, as investors expected. It will spend about $579 billion through the end of 2017. But
starting in March it will begin
spending less on bonds.
While the bank said its not getting ready to phase out its stimulus program, Canally, of LPL
Financial, said investors are starting to think about the time when
the ECB will gradually stop buying bonds and will start raising
interest rates in response to a

healthier economy.
(Its) a big 180 from where we
were a couple of months ago,
where the market was pricing in
negative rates for a long period of
time, he said. Government bond
prices in Spain, Italy and
Portugal fell, and yields rose
sharply.
U.S. government bond prices
also fell. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note rose to 2.41 percent
from 2. 34 percent. That drove
banks stocks up since higher
interest rates will allow banks to
charge more for lending money.

Goldman Sachs, which has surged

33 percent since the presidential
election and is trading near its alltime high, rose $5.89, or 2.5 percent, to $241. 45 and Bank of
America picked up 38 cents, or
1.7 percent, to $22.95.
European stocks climbed for the
second day in a row. Germanys
DAX jumped 1. 8 percent and
French CAC 40 added 0.9 percent.

Specialty chemicals maker
DuPont helped lead materials
companies higher as it added 86

Competitor Albemarle gained $3,

Benchmark U. S. crude rose
$1.07, or 2.1 percent, to $50.84
per barrel in New York. Brent
crude, the international standard,
added 89 cents, or 1.7 percent, to
$53.89 a barrel in London.
CVS Health, a drugstore operator and pharmacy benefits manager, dropped $2.42, or 3 percent, to
$78.11 as retailers of household
goods weakened. Church &
Dwight fell $1.09, or 2.4 percent,
to $43. 79 and Mondelez, the
maker of Oreos and other snack
foods, fell 61 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $41.33.

Banking on change: Tech startups target financial services

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO It may not

be much longer before bank
branches join video-rental stores
and record shops as relics of a
bygone era.
Silicon Valley is pressuring
banks to change their ways or risk
becoming the latest industry overtaken by technology. Hundreds of
startups are offering easier and
cheaper ways to save, borrow,
spend and invest. They are doing it

by shifting the battleground to

smartphone apps and websites,
which function as digital offices
that are accessible around the
clock with minimal staffing, and
by lowering fees.
Given how much customers dislike it, the financial services
industry seems ripe for disruption, as Silicon Valley likes to
call industry upheaval. These
financial technology, or fintech, startups may also soon get
further validation from a key banking regulator. Comptroller of the

Currency Thomas Curry last week

announced plans for a special
national bank charter that would
allow fintechs to offer their products without having to get regulatory approval state to state. Part of
Currys motivation lies in his
belief that fintech can help consumers who either dont want or
cant afford to establish accounts
with traditional banks.
At this point, the fintech sector
hasnt proven it can be a viable or
trustworthy alternative to traditional banks and stock broker-

ages. Few of the startups have ever

posted a profit, and one of the
biggest, the Lending Club, is trying to recover from a breakdown
that triggered the resignation of
CEO Renaud Laplanche earlier this
year. The Justice Department is
investigating the events that led
to Laplanches abrupt departure.
The disruption in banking is
coming later than other areas
because of the complexity of the
regulations and the amount of trust
required, Laplanche said in an
interview earlier this year, while

he was still CEO. Trusting you

with my savings is not like booking a trip online.
Banks, meanwhile, have demonstrated their resiliency and
resourcefulness. With the help of
taxpayer-backed bailouts, the
industry has survived a financial
crisis of its own making, and now
appears to be tackling the fintech
threat. They are closing branches,
laying off workers, pouring
money into their own technology
departments and even buying or
teaming up with fintech startups.

Government proposes letting
airline passengers make phone calls
WASHINGTON The government is proposing that airlines be allowed to permit their passengers to make phone
calls during flights using Wi-Fi despite complaints from
flight attendants and others that the calls could be disruptive.
The Department of Transportations proposal leaves it up
to airlines whether to allow the calls. But carriers would be
required to inform passengers at the time they purchase a
ticket if the calls are allowed. That would give passengers
the opportunity to make other travel arrangements if they
dont want to risk the possibility of sitting near passengers
making phone calls.

M-A, Serra still chasing state titles

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

M-A quarterback Aajon Johnson is averaging 220 yards of offense per

game and has accounted for 32 touchdowns as he was named the PAL Bay
Divisions Offensive Player of the Year.

While most high school athletic

programs have turned their attention to the winter sports of basketball, soccer and wrestling, there
are still a pair of schools and their
fans riding out a thrilling football
season.
Both Menlo-Atherton and Serra
are still in the mix for state titles
and, after winning Central Coast
Section crowns two weeks ago,
will play in Northern California
regional championship games
this weekend with a spot in a state
bowl game on the line. M-A (11-2)
will host Manteca (12-1) at 7:30
p.m. tonight in a 3-AA matchup.
Serra (9-4), on the other hand, will
make about a four-hour drive
southeast of Fresno to take on an
undefeated Sanger (13-0) squad at
7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Theres not a whole more to talk
about for the Bears and Padres.
Both are riding incredible winning
streaks M-A has won 11 in a
row, Serra nine and both will be
facing unfamiliar opponents.
And in that regard, the deeper a
team gets in the playoffs, the more
important the fundamentals are.
Taking care of the ball, wrapping
up on tackles, being disciplined,
limiting penalties all coaching
cliches, sure, but there is reason a
cliche becomes one because its
true. The teams that make the
fewest mistakes will be the one to
playing in a state bowl game next
weekend.

Stanford looking for second straight soccer title

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Stanford got off to

a rough start this year, but
rebounded in a season where
everyone wanted to take the
Cardinal down to make it back to
the College Cup.
After winning the first national
championship in program history
last season, No. 5 Stanford continues its title defense in the second semifinal on Friday night
against No. 9 North Carolinas. In
the first semifinal, No. 2 Wake
Forest faces undefeated No. 6
Denver.
Stanford had with three ties and
a loss in its first six games before
winning 13 of its next 16 games
to win a third straight Pac-12
championship and return to the
College Cup.
I think it was kind of a wakeup
call seeing how hard we were
going to get played and I think we
adapted to that as the season progressed, said defender Tomas
Hilliard-Arce, who was named Pac12 Defensive Player of the Year
last month.
Stanford hopes to become the
first team since Indiana in 200304 to win consecutive national
championships. Coach Jeremy
Gunns team is the first to return to
the College Cup the season after
winning the national championship since Wake Forest returned
in 2008 after winning it all in
2007.
Stanford lost some key players
from last season, including MLS

ing Hermann

team.
Five of those
players were

first team last
month, and one was on the second
team.
We had some great players
leave after last year and I think
some people wanted to write us off
this year, Gunn said.
Stanford is led by Co-Pac-12
player of the year Foster
Langsdorf. The junior forward has
led the teams attack this season,
scoring 15 goals, including one
in each of Stanfords three tournament games. In their 10 Pac-12
games, Langsdorf scored 12
goals.
North Carolina comes to
Houston for its first College Cup
appearance since winning a
national championship in 2011.
The Tar Heels also reached the
national semifinals in 2009-10.
Some things to know about the
College Cup.

H-town connection
The Tar Heels come to Houston
with many connections to the
area. Three Houston Dynamo
players, defenders Jalil Anibaba
and Sheanon Williams and goalkeeper Tyler Deric, played at
North Carolina, while head coach

Carlos Somoano is from nearby

Seabrook, Texas. The Tar Heels
leading scorer, Tucker Hume, said
players from the Dynamo have
reached out to them and that
theyll be at Fridays game.
My formative soccer years and
experiences were done right here
in Houston, Somoano said. So
for me its very special to be back
here.

Youth movement
After losing key players from
last season, including three who
were selected in the top 12 of the
MLS SuperDraft, North Carolina
has had to rely on its youth in
2016. The Tar Heels have 12 players who have appeared in all 20
games this season, six of whom
are either freshmen or sophomores. Sophomore forward Nils
Bruening leads the team in goals
with eight, while redshirt sophomore goalkeeper James Pyle has
allowed just 10 goals this season.
Theyve been a bit of a revelation for us, Somoano said. Its
just fascinating to see how they
evolve through the year. Theyre
not the same players now than
they were in August.

Familiar faces
Denver head coach Jamie Franks
and Wake Forests Bobby Muuss
have plenty of history. Muuss was
an assistant coach for the Demon
Deacons during Franks freshman
season in Winston-Salem and was
the coach at Denver from 200714, with Franks serving as his

assistant for three seasons. When

Muuss took over at Wake Forest
before the 2015 season, Franks
took his place at Denver.
I love Wake Forest . but at the
end of the day, these are my boys,
Franks said. These are my kids,
and Wake Forest is standing in our
way.

Wake Forest
eyes redemption
Last season, Wake Forest was
the No. 1 team in the country with
a 17-2-2 record before falling in
the quarterfinals to the eventual
national champions Stanford in
overtime. This season, the Demon
Deacons enter the College Cup
with an 18-2-3 mark with a pair of
shutouts in wins over Coastal
Carolina and Virginia Tech.

Dominance rewarded
Since Franks took over as the
Denver head coach, the Pioneers
have lost just one game, a defeat
to SMU that ended the 2015 season. The team feels its 35-1-6
record under Franks it has not
received enough credit, mostly
because the Pioneers play in the
Summit League. This is Denvers
first appearance in the College
Cup and the players are embracing
their underdog role.
Its more a historical thing
than an actual thing because no
one in our locker room is surprised
to be here, we expected to be
here, sophomore forward Andre
Shinyashiki said.

Sports brief
School district sues turf
maker after report of defects
NEWARK, N.J. The states
largest school district has sued the
countrys leading maker of artificial
turf after a report that executives
knew fields might not live up to
lofty marketing claims.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday by
Newark public schools comes after
a review of insider company
records, emails and interviews by
NJ.com (http://bit.ly/2h0oh9l )
found that Montreal-based FieldTurf
sold more than 1,000 fields to
towns, schools and teams across
the U.S. when its executives knew
they were falling apart faster than
expected.
The company said in a statement
that it disagrees with the conclusions reached by NJ.com and says it
has lived up to its warranties and
hasnt hurt taxpayers.
FieldTurf said that the turf it
began selling in 2005 was revolutionary for its unmatched durability and that it would last a decade or
more. But records obtained by NJ
Advance Media show that as early
as 2006, key FieldTurf executives
became aware that the turf, known
as Duraspine, was cracking, splitting and breaking apart long before
it should and long before the public
had been promised.
Most of the fields, which fetched
$300,000 to $500,000 or more,
were paid for with tax dollars.
FieldTurf sold 1,428 of those fields
in the U.S. to towns and even NFL
teams for an estimated $570 million from 2005 until the product
was discontinued in 2012.

Winners, losers and trends at baseballs winter meetings

By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OXON HILL, Md. All-Star closers

Aroldis Chapman, Mark Melancon and
Wade Davis moved to different bullpens.
Chris Sale boosted a big rotation in
Boston. And the Washington Nationals got
their fans talking a lot.
As teams packed up along the Potomac
River and headed home Thursday, a look at
what did and didnt happen this week at the
winter meetings:

Whos left?
Major league home run leader Mark Trumbo,
fellow sluggers Edwin Encarnacion and Jose
Bautista, and center fielder Dexter Fowler are
available free agents. So is closer Kenley
Jansen, whos attracting serious interest from
the Marlins. But Miami has a policy of not
giving no-trade clauses, and thats troubling
to some players and agents.
Marlins president of baseball operations
Michael Hill said theres no reason to worry.

The belief when you

enter into these deals is
that youre going to be
together for the length of
the contract, he said.
Try telling that to Jose
Reyes he signed a sixyear deal with Miami
before 2012, then got
Mark Trumbo traded onto the artificial
turf in Toronto after just
one season.

Pittsburgh outfielder
Andrew McCutchen was
all-but-gone at these
meetings. Thats what
most everyone thought,
anyway.
But the former MVP is
Andrew
going to PirateFest this
McCuthen
weekend, still on the
team. General manager Neal Huntington
says he plans to talk things over with
McCutchen before the festivities.

We took calls, we listened, we engaged,

Huntington said. We felt the right move
was to hold the player.

Open for business

The White Sox got quite a haul of
prospects by trading Sale and Adam Eaton,
and theyre far from done. Closer David
Robertson, starter Jose Quintana or third
baseman Todd Frazier could be next.
We embrace the challenge that lies ahead
of us, GM Rick Hahn said. We have for the
last several months ... but its nowhere near
completed.
A year removed from winning the World
Series, the Royals are in a different spot.
Several of their stars are eligible for free
agency after this season first baseman
Eric Hosmer, outfielder Lorenzo Cain and
pitcher Danny Duffy, among them and
KC doesnt want to lose them with nothing
in return. They began revamping the roster
by trading Davis to the champion Cubs for
young, powerful Jorge Soler.

Field day

Extra emphasis is being put these days on

guys who can handle more than one spot.
With David Ortiz retiring, Boston wants
someone who could DH and also play first
base Mitch Moreland is set to be that person. The Royals like Soler as a right fielder
and DH. The Nationals are looking at Trea
Turner in the outfield and at shortstop.
Houston might see whether Carlos
Beltran can play first base. And Colorado
might turn newly signed Ian Desmond into a
first baseman he was a shortstop in
Washington and an outfielder in Texas.

Winners and losers

Who did the best and who did the worst at
these meetings? Fact is, the answer might
not come for a few years.
The AL East champion Red Sox looked
good getting Sale from the White Sox for a
hefty package. The White Sox looked smart
getting a trio of young, talented pitchers for
outfielder Adam Eaton.
But until fans see how the prospects turn
out, well, everyone will just have to wait.

LAS VEGAS The U. S. Patent and

Trademark Office has denied the Vegas
Golden Knights trademark application a little more than two weeks after the new NHL
franchise unveiled its name and logo.
The office cites potential confusion with
the team name for the College of Saint Rose
in New York, which is also the Golden
Knights. The Las Vegas franchise is set to
take the ice next season.

the league will formally respond by a June 7

This is a matchup of teams who appear to
be copies of each other. Both teams feature
a dual-threat quarterback, a workhorse running back capable of busting off the big
play and stingy defenses.
Both teams won league titles and section
crowns, with M-A winning the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division and the
Central Coast Section Open Division I
crown, while Manteca finished in a threeway tie for the Valley Oak League and won
the Sac-Joaquin Division IV championship.
The Buffaloes, which average 39.6 points
per game this season, are led by junior quarterback Gino Campiotti, who is completing
61 percent of his passes, with 21 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He is
also the teams second-leading rusher. He
only averages 29 yards per game rushing,
but is second on the team in rushing scores
with eight.

should be registered in co-existence with

that of Saint Rose just as a number of other
nicknames currently co-exist in professional and college sports (particularly where
there is no overlap as to the sport for which
the nickname is being used).
We consider this a routine matter and it is
not our intention to reconsider the name or
logo of this franchise, Daly said
Wednesday. We fully intend to proceed as
originally planned, relying on our common
law trademark rights as well as our state
trademark registrations while we work
through the process of addressing the question raised in the federal applications.
M-A, which comes into the game averaging 41 points per game, will counter with
Bay Division Offensive Player of the Year
Aajon Johnson. The senior quarterback has
thrown for 1,901 yards this season, with 18
touchdowns and five picks. He, too, is second on the team in rushing, but he averages
73 yards per game and has scored 14 times
on the ground.
The Bears should have the advantage at
the running back spot where Jordan Mims,
barring a catastrophe, will go over the
2,000-yard mark and has the propensity for
the big play. In the Central Coast Section
Open Division I championship game
against Milpitas, Mims popped scoring
runs of 72 and 76 yards in the Bears 17-0
win.
Tasked with trying to slow Mims will be

The Padres are used to playing in big

David Alexander, assistant athletic director for communications at the College of

Saint Rose, said the schools trademark was
registered in 2004. He declined to say how
the college would react if the NHL franchise
continued to pursue its application to use
the nickname.
Its only the first period, I dont want to
get too far ahead, Alexander said.
Saint Rose does not have a hockey team.
We have a registered trademark. We
love the name, Alexander said. Fifteen
years ago we redesigned the logo and
wanted a trademark to specifically protect our brand. The logo represents the

spirit of the school.

The patent office said the similarities were
too many to overlook.
In this case, the marks are identical in
part, sharing the same dominant wording
and overall commercial impression, it said
in denying the application. The nature of
the applicants and registrants services is
similar; both offer sports entertainment of a
kind available in the same venues, broadcast
on television, and are generally available to
the same class of consumers. Accordingly,
the examining attorney concludes that there
is a likelihood of confusion between the
applicants and registrants marks.

head to the Central Valley to take on a team

that is having perhaps the greatest season
in the schools 117-year history.
A crowd of 6,000-plus is expected to greet
Serra at Tom Flores Stadium in Sanger,
about a half-hour southeast of Fresno, and
the Padres could be entering a perfect storm.
Not only is Sanger experiencing its first
section championship since 2003, the
Apaches completed their first-ever undefeated Central Section season. In addition,
Sangers coach, after having won his 200th
game with the school in the Central Section
title game, is expected to retire at the end of
the season. The Apaches will be looking to
cap a storybook ending.
Dont expect Serra to be daunted, however, because at this point, the Padres are playing with house money after starting the season 0-4.
Both these teams utilize strong, misdirection styles of offense, with plenty of offensive firepower spread across each teams
offense. Serra will have to account for
Sangers sophomore running back Jalen
Cropper. Actually, running back may be a
misnomer since Cropper, who is drawing
interest from Pac-12 schools, lines up at
virtually every skilled position on offense,
including quarterback. He has been the driving force for an offense that is averaging 41

points per game.

Serra, however, knows exactly what thats
like. The Padres, who have scored 30 points
or more in nine straight games, feature one
of the most dynamic dual-threat players in
CCS in senior quarterback Sitaleki Nunn,
who was named the West Catholic Athletic
Leagues Co-Quarterback MVP. Nunn is
averaging 221 yards of offense per game
this season.
But Nunn is hardly a one-man show.
Running back Isiah Kendrick is averaging
9.3 yards a carry and has rushed for over
1,000 yards. Receiver Shane Villaroman is
averaging four catches a game for 17.1
yards and has scored 13 touchdowns.
And the Padres secret weapon? It could be
backup quarterback Luke Bottari, who has
thrown for 1,078 yards and 13 touchdowns
this season.
Defensively, neither team yields much.
Sanger allows 12.7 points a game, while
Serra, after getting gouged in its first four
games, has given up more than 14 points
only twice over the last seven games.
Serra is led defensively by linebacker TC
Lavulo, who was named WCAL Linebacker
MVP and is the heart and soul for the Padres.
Sanger counters with a player of the year
candidate in linebacker Miguel Garcia.

Sports brief
Retroactive: Ring Magazine
names Ali 1966 fighter of year
The Ring Magazine is making Muhammad Ali its 1966
Fighter of the Year, a half century after refusing to give him
the award because of his disapproval of the draft for the
Vietnam War and connection with the Nation of Islam.
The boxing magazine said it was righting a wrong by
retroactively naming the late heavyweight great as the best
fighter of 1966.
The editors at that time obviously felt strongly that Ali,
while succeeding in the ring, didnt meet other criteria they
deemed important, said Michael Rosenthal, the magazines
editor-in-chief. But we can see the injustice by todays
standards even if we take issue with some of things Ali said
and did.
Ali won all five of his fights in 1966, and did so in
impressive fashion. He was at the peak of his career, which
was soon to be interrupted for three years while he fought
courts over his refusal to be drafted.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

RAIDERS
Continued from page 11
and on punt and kickoff returns in a
single season.
It was still 21-3 when the Chiefs lost
linebacker Derrick Johnson to an
Achilles injury, and that seemed to
briefly deflate them. Oakland proceeded to march 92 yards for a touchdown
just before halftime.
But the Raiders kept coming up
empty with their chances in the second
half.
Smith threw a pick on the second
play of the third quarter, but Oakland
had to settle for a field goal. And when
Smith was strip-sacked by Khalil
Mack on the next play, the Raiders
again had to try a field goal only
this time, holder Marquette King
couldnt get the snap down.
The Raiders last chance came with
about two minutes left, when a questionable pass interference penalty and
a fourth-and-4 conversion got them
deep into Kansas City territory. But
after a false start on fourth-and-1,
Carrs pass toward the end zone was
batted incomplete.
The Chiefs went on to pick up the
first down they needed to put the game
away.

DENNY MEDLEY-USA TODAY SPORTS

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill runs in for a touchdown as Oakland
Raiders cornerback David Amerson attempts the tackle.
Mack had a strip-sack for the third
straight game, and a sack in his eighth
straight dating to the Raiders loss to
Kansas City in October. That matches
Lance Johnstone for the longest streak
in franchise history since sacks
became official in 1982.

Defensive tackle Rakeem NunezRoches left with back spasms and did
not return.
Raiders offensive lineman Kelechi
Osemele was a late scratch with an illness. Safety Karl Joseph was inactive
with a toe injury and defensive tackle
Stacy McGee was sidelined by an ankle
injury.

House passes stopgap measure

as senators raise objections
By Andrew Taylor
and Richard Lardner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. poses for a photo with the Mercury
Friendship 7 spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral, Fla., Feb. 20, 1962.

John Glenn, the first

American to orbit the
Earth, has died at 95
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON John Glenn, whose 1962 flight as the

first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth made him an allAmerican hero and propelled him to a long career in the
U.S. Senate, died Thursday. The last survivor of the original
Mercury 7 astronauts was 95.
Glenn died at the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus,
Ohio, where he was hospitalized for more than a week, said
Hank Wilson, communications director for the John Glenn
School of Public Affairs.
John Herschel Glenn Jr. had two major career paths that
often intersected: flying and politics, and he soared in both
of them.
Before he gained fame orbiting the world, he was a fighter pilot in two wars, and as a test pilot, he set a transcontinental speed record. He later served 24 years in the Senate
from Ohio. A rare setback was a failed 1984 run for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
His long political career enabled him to return to space in
the shuttle Discovery at age 77 in 1998, a cosmic victory
lap that he relished and turned into a teachable moment
about growing old. He holds the record for the oldest person
in space.
More than anything, Glenn was the ultimate and uniquely
American space hero: a combat veteran with an easy smile,
a strong marriage of 70 years and nerves of steel. Schools,
a space center and the Columbus airport were named after
him. So were children.
The Soviet Union leaped ahead in space exploration by
putting the Sputnik 1 satellite in orbit in 1957, and then
launched the first man in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin,
in a 108-minute orbital flight on April 12, 1961. After
two suborbital flights by Alan Shepard Jr. and Gus
Grissom, it was up to Glenn to be the first American to
orbit the Earth.

WASHINGTON The House on

Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and
authorize hundreds of water projects,
but a Senate fight over benefits for
retired coal miners threatened to lead to
a government shutdown this weekend.
House members promptly bolted
home for the holidays and will return
next month to a capital city in which
Republicans will fully control all
levers of power, with Donald Trump
inaugurated as the nations 45th president.
The stopgap spending bill passed on
a 326-96 vote; the massive water projects measure passed 360-61.
In the Senate, however, Democrats
made a last-ditch effort to add two provisions to the bills: Aa one-year
respite for retired coal miners scheduled
to lose their health benefits at years
end and a permanent extension of Buy
America mandates for steel used in the
construction of water projects.
They totally gave the back of their
hand to miners, said Sen. Claire
McCaskill, D-Mo. Whos for the
working people? Wheres Donald
Trump on miners?
Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia
and Sherrod Brown of Ohio, both of
whom face re-election in 2018, argued

that a provision in the spending bill to

temporarily extend health care benefits
for about 16,500 retired union coal
miners is insufficient.
The measure does not protect pension benefits despite President Harry S.
Trumans 1946 guarantee to miners of
lifetime health and retirement benefits.
Republicans are bragging about the
kind of support they have from workers
in coal country, particularly retirees in
coal country, and now are prepared to
just extend their health care for five
months, said White House Press
Secretary Josh Earnest.
GOP leaders insisted the deal was the
best the Democrats could get, heightening the possibility the government
could close at midnight Friday. Before
the election, vulnerable GOP incumbents Rob Portman of Ohio and Pat
Toomey of Pennsylvania had supported
a broader bill to protect health care and
pension benefits for about 120,000
retired coal miners.
After winning re-election, neither
Portman nor Toomey was part of the
Democratic fight for the miners.
Theyre not going to get what they
want. They ought to actually be grateful for what they got, said Sen. John
Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2
Republican.
They gave us a bill and said take it
or leave it, Manchin said.
Democrats options were limited,
especially since the House has closed
up shop and wont consider changes to

either bill.
We cant predict the exact path, but
were going to win this fight because
were right, vowed Sen. Charles
Schumer of New York, the incoming
Democratic leader.
And delaying the separate water projects measure would kill $170 million
long sought by Democrats to help the
impoverished city of Flint, Michigan,
repair its aging infrastructure to rid its
water of poisonous lead.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.,
nonetheless promised to filibuster the
massive water projects bill over a provision allowing more of Californias
limited water resources to flow to
Central Valley farmers hurt by the
states lengthy drought.
Boxer and environmentalists complain that the provision favors corporate farmers over fishermen and endangered species. It appeared to be an
uphill struggle, in part because her
California colleague, Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, favors the changes for the
distribution of the states water
resources.
The Senate did, however, clear the
annual defense policy bill, which
authorizes $611 billion to run the military in 2017, provides a 2.1 percent
pay hike for the military and again
blocks President Barack Obama from
delivering on his longstanding campaign pledge to close the prison at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The vote was 92-7.

Effort to stem homegrown U.S. extremism launches

By Philip Marcelo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON A federally backed

effort to stem the rise of homegrown
extremists
is
underway
in
Massachusetts, nearly three years
after the White House announced the
initiative on the first anniversary of
the Boston Marathon bombings that
killed three people and injured hundreds.
The state last week selected three
organizations to use $210,000 in federal money earmarked for the pilot
effort, the Associated Press learned
through a request of public records.
The organizations propose initiatives meant to keep youths from

being drawn to the violent messages

of extremist groups.
United Somali Youth, which operates out of New Englands largest
mosque, the Islamic Society of
Boston Cultural Center, was awarded
$105,000 to help Somali, African and
Middle Eastern youths build critical
life skills through afterschool programs, counseling, college readiness
assistance and other efforts.
Empower Peace, which was founded
by a communications and marketing
executive, was given $42, 000 to
teach high schoolers statewide how to
develop social media campaigns promoting tolerance and combating bigotry so that they can produce them at
their schools.

And the 20-year-old Somali

Development Center has been given
$63,000 to better integrate Somali
immigrants and refugees into the
broader community.
Abdirahman Yusuf, the centers
executive director, said the Bostonarea Somali community hasnt had to
grapple with terrorist recruitment like
those in other parts of the country but
needs to take preventative steps.
With events like Columbus, Ohio,
its important for our community to
have a dialogue, he said, referring to
last months car and knife attack at
Ohio State University by a Somaliborn student that is being investigated as possible terrorism. This is a
relevant issue.

and eventually an outdoor cafe with pizza,

For Chirichillo, creating spaces where
communities can gather is at the heart of his
work, and one his focuses as president of
the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce. This
weekend, Chirichillo will see his passion
for the San Carlos and winemaking communities come to life in the first annual
Downtown San Carlos Holiday Wine Stroll.
On Sunday, Dec. 11, 20 merchants in
downtown San Carlos will act as pouring
stations for 19 wineries, offering visitors
an opportunity to taste local wines while
crossing items off their holiday gift lists.
Participants can also stroll to nearby tasting rooms along or near Industrial Road.
David Bouchard, CEO of the San Carlos
Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber
has been searching for an opportunity to
pair San Carlos burgeoning winemaking
scene with the local flair downtown merchants have to offer.
We always thought about doing some-

thing to help downtown merchants and

bring activity to them particularly around
the holidays, he said. This is the kind of
activity that brings everyone together.
Merchants along Laurel Street and San
Carlos Avenue look forward to showcasing
their products in a unique light. Grace Lau,
owner of Expedia CruiseShipCenters, hopes
wine lovers stopping by her location on
Laurel Street will be inspired to book winerelated travel.
Hopefully, they will learn about something that we offer as well, she said. We
sell a number of cruises that appeal to wine
lovers, in particular river cruises in Europe
where they have wine experts on board and
people get to tour historic vineyards.
Carol Basch, owner of San Carlos
Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery, shared Laus
enthusiasm for the event in drawing shoppers who might not have otherwise stopped
by during the holidays.
I think it will be good, and Im hoping it
will introduce more people to the downtown
stores and restaurants, she said.
Scott Townsend of Russian Ridge Winery
knows the benefits of a collaborative community well. He has collaborated with
Chirichillo several times over the years,
most recently on the development of the
MidPeninsula Wine Trail. The trails map

details a concentration of 10 local wineries,

two breweries, one distillery and one cider
producer featured in Sundays stroll.
Townsend hopes the event will build on the
momentum generated by a growing number
of wine and beer enthusiasts who frequent
the trail.
Were looking to have the local people
from San Mateo down to Menlo Park to Palo
Alto, he said. What were finding is that
people were coming into the tasting room
and would say, I didnt know you were
here!

Though their community is growing, San

Carlos winemakers welcome foot traffic in
their corner of San Carlos, which is considered off the beaten path by many.
Chirichillo, one of the first vinters to put
roots down in San Carlos, has been instrumental in incubating smaller wineries. He is
known for letting other wineries use his
crush pads and other winemaking equipment. For Chirichillo, the benefits of fostering growth in this community are many.
We like to encourage a group wine event,
as theres a lot of synergy in the wine business. You can attract more wine tasters to an
event if you have more than one location
involved, he said.
Given the variety of wines produced in
California, there is less competition
between winemakers than one might
expect.
Winemakers are easy-going, he said.
There is not a competitive edge because
everyones success is shared.
Visitors should start at the event check-in
at the intersection of Cherry and Laurel
streets, between Diddams and Rangoon
Ruby restaurant. Participants must be over
21 with valid ID to participate, and day-of
tickets are $40.

unique spaces for people to connect has

been a part of their business model since
Fieldworks inception. With that in mind,
Bay Meadows offers an excellent locale for
their newest spot slated to open around
April 2017, Braden said.
Every one of these we want to be neighborhood gathering places, Braden said.
Theyre family-oriented places where
people come together and theres community. And I think thats what the developers
of Bay Meadows did a nice job of thinking
about. Its how do these spaces become
integral in the community. So I love the
development, I love the location; its perfect for us and what were all about.
The entire 160-acre site running between
the Caltrain line and Highway 101 has
been completely revamped from its former
days of betting on the horse races. Master
Developer Wilson Meany and owner
Stockbridge Capital are well into constructing Phase II.
When complete, the site will host 1,150
housing units, 780, 000 square feet of

office space, 40,000 square feet of retail

and 18 acres of parks or open space. Phase
I included the new Kaiser Permanente
Medical Center, Whole Foods Market,
other retail, the Franklin Templeton
Headquarters, San Mateos police headquarters and a variety of housing.
The entire development has been decades
in the making with extensive planning for
how to create a mixed-use, walkable community centered around transit.
The community-oriented Delaware
Street; where people can go for a beer, coffee or ice cream; will be the neighborhoods latest gathering hub.
Were very excited to welcome
Fieldwork Brewing to our roster of neighborhood-serving retail at Bay Meadows
not only do they have an exceptional product with a huge following, Fieldwork also
has a team of beer crafters that really care
about nurturing a sense of community,
which aligns perfectly with our own objectives, Wilson Meany Partner Janice
Thacher said in a statement.

Fieldwork will offer a rotation of nearly a

dozen beers and small bites at the outdoor
venue designed by prominent architects,
including the group responsible for the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts
sculpture garden, according to Bay
Meadows.
Braden said hes looking forward to
entertaining families walking over from
the train, people taking their dogs for a
stroll, those looking to play bocce or anyone wanting to enjoy some sunshine and
good beers. Having already built a significant following in a short period of time,
Braden said hes thrilled to be working
with the Bay Meadows developers interested in an upstart company like Fieldwork.
I think the passion is in the craft. Its in
always trying new things and were a very
esoteric, eccentric brewery in that way.
Weve brewed 125 plus beers since weve
been open in the last 19 months, Braden
said. For us, its always about trying
something new and were happy that people are enjoying what were doing.

La La something to sing about

By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Musical lovers, take a bow.

Your favorite art form is having quite the cultural moment.
On Broadway, of course,
weve got the Hamilton
phenomenon, making the
stage musical feel more vital
and relevant than it has in

years. And we have popular

live TV revivals like Grease
and Hairspray.
Now, in time for Christmas,
theres the eye-popping, heartlifting La La Land, which
both honors and modernizes
the screen musical to such joyful effect that you might find
yourself pirouetting home

OK, perhaps we exaggerate.

La La Land, created by the
copiously

Perhaps you dont like

Coke targets foodies as more people move away from sodas

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Coca-Cola, the worlds biggest beverage maker, is trying to update the drinks image among
people in their 20s and 30s who may associate soda mainly with places like McDonalds and
Dominos.

NEW YORK What beverage goes best

with lobster rolls, a bagel sandwich stuffed
with whitefish, or a bowl of ramen? Coke
wants you to think of soda.
Coca-Cola is trying to sell more of its
flagship beverage by suggesting the cola
can accompany a wide range of meals, rather
than just the fast food and pizza with which
its a mainstay. Its why a recent TV ad featured a young couple grabbling mini-Cokes
while making paella, and why food bloggers were paid to post photos on Instagram
of various dishes, paired specifically with
glass bottles of Coke that might appeal to
the aesthetic of foodie culture. One photo
showed a bowl of chicken chili with the
soda.
The ultimate combination of two of my
very favorites! wrote the blogger, who has
more than 53,000 followers. The caption
disclosed that the post, which got about 430
likes, was a sponsored ad.

Although Coke has often been marketed

as a good companion for food, the company
is trying to make sure it isnt left behind as
American tastes evolve and people move
away from traditional sodas. The worlds
biggest beverage maker is particularly trying to update the drinks image among people in their 20s and 30s who may associate
soda mainly with places like McDonalds
and Dominos.
Its an Amateur Move to Limit Coca-Cola
to Fast-Food, stated an online ad paid for
by Coke on Vox Media sites. The post,
which was designed to read like a news
story, talked about famous food pairings and
how tastes like Coca-Cola go with everything. A digital video series with
Univision also showed people enjoying
Cokes with a variety of meals, including
sushi.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

Talking boards have their roots in spiritualism, a belief in the ability of the dead to
communicate with the living. Spiritualism
began to spread in the United States after
1848 when the Fox sisters, aged 11 and 14,
claimed to have communed with a spirit
through mysterious raps they heard in their
Hydesville, New York, home. Over the ensuing decades, a number of interesting methods were devised to communicate with spirits. In 1886, the press reported on a device
used by some spiritualists in Ohio a talking board with letters, numbers and a
planchette-like device that pointed to the
letters. Spirits could spell out their communications with the living, while the living
simply held their hands on the planchette as
it moved toward various letters. The
Mysterious Talking Board: Ouija and
Beyond, at the San Francisco Airport
Museum, features Ouija boards and a host of
other talking boards from the 1890s to the
present.
In 1890, Charles Kennard of Baltimore,
Maryland, formed the Kennard Novelty
Company with the help of several other
investors, including Elijah Bond and
William Fuld, to produce talking boards
using the name Ouija board. Allegedly, they
sought guidance from the board in naming
it, and it replied Ouija, which, the board
explained, meant good luck. As the story
goes, in 1891, Bond, accompanied by his
sister-in-law Helen Peters, an acclaimed
medium, brought the device to the patent
office in Washington, D.C. The chief patent
officer required him to prove that it worked

by spelling out his name supposedly

unknown to Bond and Peters in order to
grant the patent. The two communed with
the spirit realm, and to the shock of the
patent officer, the Ouija board successfully
spelled out his name. The wildly successful
Ouija board was then marketed as both an
oracle device and amusing parlor game.
Shortly after, the business was reorganized and became the Ouija Novelty
Company, largely run by William Fuld.
Fulds brother Isaac joined him in 1897. But
for various reasons, Isaac was expelled from
the company in 1901, creating a family feud
that would continue for decades. William
then re-established his business as the
William Fuld Manufacturing Company.
Isaac went on to create his own talking
board, nearly identical to his brothers,
which he named the Oriole board. Dozens of
others offered interesting versions of talking boards over the decades, using a variety
of names, although none surpassed William
Fulds Ouija board in popularity. Many of
these knockoffs featured an array of colorful
imagery, from Egyptian sphinxes to
swamis, fortune-tellers and witches.
The public turned to talking boards for a
variety of reasons. Some claimed that spirits dictated entire books to them via the
Ouija board, such as Jap Herron (1917), purportedly penned by a posthumous Mark
Twain through the medium of Emily Grant
Hutchings. World Wars I and II caused a
surge in sales of talking boards as many
civilians hoped to get in touch with loved
ones who had lost their lives during the
wars. Others turned to talking boards to
seek advice about their love lives or for
guidance during troubled times. The Ouija

board permeated popular culture a
Norman Rockwell painting of a man and
woman using a Ouija board appeared on the
cover of a 1920 Saturday Evening Post.
Even sheet music incorporated the Ouija
board, such as Weegee, Weegee, Tell Me
Do (1920).
Long after William Fuld began making
Ouija boards commercially in the 1890s,
talking boards remained a favored pastime.
Parker Brothers purchased the rights to the
Ouija board from the Fuld family in 1967.
Ouija board sales soon surpassed those of
Monopoly. For more than 125, the talking
board has intrigued the public. This exhibition traces the devices history and features
boards from the 1890s to the present.

This exhibition was made possible by

generous loans from Eugene Orlando of the
Museum of Talking Boards and Robert

Society. Special thanks to Eugene Orlando

Katie Holmes probes mom-daughter bond in directorial debut

By Ryan Pearson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Katie Holmes is a single

mom raising a daughter and thats the subject of her feature film directorial debut, All
We Had.
The 37-year-old actress stars alongside
18-year-old Stefania Owen in the film about
a mother who finds herself living in a car
with her daughter and looking for a new
start. Holmes said its a specific story but
one she can relate to.
I think the universal theme of that love
you have for your daughter and that love you
have for your mother is so powerful. And I
think that is very relatable wherever you fit
in economically, Holmes said.
And definitely being a daughter and

being a mother, I understand that love and that

bond. And I think it
something that should be
highlighted and celebrated in film.
Holmes, who in real
life is raising her daughter Suri, said her work for
Katie Holmes directors like Curtis
Hanson and Ang Lee over
the years taught her how to lead actors on a
set. She also said she found inspiration in
such films as Alice Doesnt Live Here
Anymore, My Own Private Idaho and
Thelma and Louise.
I have figured out how I like a set to run
and what makes me feel good as an actor.
And thats what I try to do for my actors.

Then you just kind of go for it. Its like the

starting gun goes off and youre just running, she said.
The movie, based on Annie Weatherwaxs
novel, is set during the 2007 economic crisis and features Holmes teetering on the
edge of poverty. It co-stars Luke Wilson,
Richard Kind and Mark Consuelos, and
comes out on Friday.
It was important to me to inhabit this
role because there are so many people who
struggle so much on a daily basis, Holmes
said. She never loses hope. Theres so
many people that work so hard and they
arent celebrated.
Owen plays the daughter, Ruthie, and said
she was inspired by Holmes transition from
movie star to the person behind the camera.
I learned a lot, she said. It never felt

like a big deal transitioning from being an

actor to a director. And I really do want to
direct my own film and also act in it. She
added: Thats definitely on my bucket list.
Holmes was promoting her movie a few
days after Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy
implied in an interview that there werent
women directors with enough experience to
helm an upcoming Star Wars movie.
I was inspired by people like Kathleen,
by people like Jane Rosenthal, Jodie Foster
to take on this role as a director and to
find this material in particular, Holmes
said. Because I do feel as a woman, you
have to be proactive and you have to find the
roles, you have to create the roles for yourself. At least, I want to do that for myself,
because I want to play certain kinds of roles.
I dont want to wait.

COKE

has long been associated with hamburgers,
hot dogs and other classic American dishes,
but that the focus of the push was sharing
Coca-Cola with family over a healthy homecooked meal.
The briefing said the paid influencers
who posted on social media should show
dishes that are not grossly unhealthy or
over-indulgent. Influencers submitted

WEEKEND JOURNAL
ideas for recipes and photos for approval.
Among the pictures with Coke that made the
cut: a poppyseed and chicken salad, steak
with salsa verde and an herb-roasted chicken.
The push comes as Coke faces growing
competition in the beverage aisle, as well as
criticism over its marketing of sugary
drinks. U.S. sales volume for regular Coke is
down 14 percent over the past decade,
according to the industry tracker Beverage
Digest, while Diet Cokes volume is down
29 percent.
To Wall Street, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola
emphasizes its array of beverages and

investments in options like bottled teas that

have bigger growth potential. And to public
health advocates, the company has pledged
it will market alternatives that would help
reduce the number of calories people drink.
At the same time, Coca-Cola is trying to
shore up its flagship brand in the U.S. The
strategy has been to reposition Coke as a
more premium drink with packaging like
mini-cans and glass bottles. That dovetails
with the companys efforts to hitch the cola
to a foodie culture that prizes photogenic
qualities.
Stuart Kronauge, senior vice president of
marketing for Coca-Cola North America,
said the association between Coke and hamburgers and pizza is largely a result of where
the drinks have traditionally been sold. She
said the recent campaign is a way to update
the companys marketing, specifically
among millennials, that says Coke goes
well with food.
We just want to make sure that we expand
the sense of it, she said.

Kronauge also noted that the ad campaign

incorporated Coke Zero, which is made with
artificial sweeteners, and Coke Life, which
is made with stevia. Although Coca-Cola is
shifting into marketing for the holidays,
Kronauge said the company plans to return
to the theme of Coke pairing well with different foods.
Ali Dibadj, a Bernstein analyst, said
Cokes association with foods like burgers
and fries contributes to the drinks
unhealthy image.
If they can break those bounds down and
match it up with a Caesar salad or quinoa
salad, maybe it breaks down the mental barrier, Dibadj said.
People associate Coke with pizza and
burgers because those pairings are now part
of U.S. culture, but also because they actually go well together, said John Fischer, a professor of wine, beverage and hospitality at
the Culinary Institute of America. He disagrees with the premise that Coke goes well
with everything, as the Coke ad contends.

and no. Stone and Gosling are charming

musical performers, but way less polished
and ethereal than their cinematic forbears.
This human quality in their first duet makes
us root for them.
And we keep on rooting. Its hard to imagine more perfect casting here. Goslings
Sebastian is suave and sexy but also ornery
and unsure of himself; Stones Mia is warm
and ebullient but also fretful and self-doubting. They need each other to chase their
respective dreams.
But what will success mean, and can they
possibly achieve it together? Its this pillar
of the story that lends it a very modern,
melancholy bite.
Chazelle, 31, shows his love for cinema
with references both sly and overt to classics like Singin In the Rain and Jacques
Demys The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. And
then theres the nod to Rebel Without a
Cause, with a scene at LAs Griffith
Observatory.
There, at a place built to watch the stars,
the two dancing lovers actually lift up into
them.
Its corny, sure, and gorgeous and romantic. As Sebastian says to his sister earlier in
the film, You say romantic like its a bad
word! In a musical, romantic is NEVER a
bad word.
Some people resist musicals because in
real life, people never break out into song;
they just speak their feelings. To which
musical lovers say: Exactly! And this is
why we need musicals.
Long live the musical. Bring enough
Kleenex.
La La Land, a Lionsgate release, is rated
PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of
America for some language. Running
time: 128 minutes. Four stars out of four.

overheard upon leaving the film was: I didnt have enough Kleenex.
The first obvious gift of La La Land is
its sheer originality. Lets start with the
music. Unlike in so many other films,
nobody elses hits are used here. The affecting score is by Justin Hurwitz, with lyrics
by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul (also getting
kudos for Broadways Dear Evan Hansen.)
Our setting is Los Angeles, and so it
begins as it must on a jammed freeway.
But unlike Michael Douglas in Falling
Down, the drivers here simply brush off
their frustrations, exit their cars, and break
into song and dance.
This virtuoso number, Another Day of
Sun, which was filmed on a freeway interchange with some 100 dancers toiling in
sizzling
temperatures,
establishes
Chazelles high-flying ambitions. It also
tells us wed darned well better be ready for
people to break out into song because
that happens in musicals. And it introduces
our main characters.
Sebastian (Gosling) is a struggling jazz
pianist, with stubborn dreams of opening
his own club. Mia (Stone) is an aspiring
actress, working as a barista while auditioning for TV parts. They clash on the freeway.
She gives him the finger.
They have a second bad meeting at a piano
bar. Finally they meet a third time, at a
party. Suddenly, they find themselves on a
bench overlooking the Hollywood Hills at
dusk. And then ... they dance.

LOTS

opment standards addressing lot size, lot
width and flag lots in residential neighborhoods. This change would increase
the minimum lot size for subdivisions to
10,000 square feet from 5,000 square
feet and minimum lot width to 65 feet
from 40 feet. The recommended change
would also restrict flag lot configurations, which a staff report deemed as
having the potential to disrupt the general pattern of the neighborhood. Flag lots
are at the end of a long driveway and are
typically behind another parcel and not
visible from the road.
The 2011 zoning changes have
allowed for the construction of larger
homes in San Carlos and for large lots to
be split to increase the citys housing
stock. They recently came under fire by
some residents, prompting the City
Council to impose a moratorium in June.
The hold set zoning rules back prior to
2011 and prohibited some residential
property owners from splitting their lots
to build additional homes.

Imagine you cant use half of your

flooding it, he said.
Millbrae officials did not provide a
comment on this article, citing a policy
disallowing publicly discussing pending litigation.
The flooding was started when a manhole overflowed, according to the lawsuit claiming it continued for more than
three hours.
Though the damage was severe,
Jabagchourian said it is not as bad as
the incident which occurred almost six
months later when a similar flood in
March flowed into three homes on El
Bonito Way.
Jabagchourian also represents the
homeowners who suffered the accident brought on by intense rainstorms backing up into an open construction site and clogging an underground sewer lateral being worked on

but from elected officials in the affected
counties at both the local and national
level.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, who has advocated for more
access in San Mateo County, said she
was pleased to see an off-leash area
added at Rancho Corral de Tierra and on-

opportunity to respond to resident complaints, which have ranged from concerns about homes being too big on lots
that are too small to dislike for the property owners ability to demolish an existing home and build two new ones on lots
of 10,000 square feet or more.
Raymond DeMattei owns a property
on White Oak Way, next to which two
two-story houses have been built on a lot
where one ranch house previously stood.
The two new houses will be now
known as the twin towers of my neighborhood, he said.
Ron Granville, a lifelong resident of
San Carlos, was disappointed the current
zoning rules seemed to make room for a
few property owners to benefit financially, instead of expanding housing options
for the greater population.
The subdivision rules should preserve
the quality of life for the larger number
of citizens in an area, not just provide a
financial windfall for a select few property owners, he said.
Since
2011,
the
Planning
Commission has approved six subdivisions including a 41,637-square-foot
lot at 1336 Arroyo Ave. that allowed
for the construction of three new
homes. In total, the six split lots have
generated nine new homes in the city

since 2011, according to staff reports.

Commissioners agreed that the 2011
changes may not have accounted for the
housing demand that followed their
inception. Community Development
Director Al Savay confirmed that the
number of houses did not change as
much in the years preceding the changes.
Commissioner
Angela
HarperPedersen reminded the group of the housing shortage that San Carlos faces regardless of the groups vote on these rules.
I understand we dont want anything
to change [in San Carlos], but I want us
to be realistic about the fact that were
growing, she said. Im sure well be
hearing about other changes later.
Concerns about the 2011 changes are
nothing new for Mayor Cameron
Johnson. He noted he is looking forward
to the City Councils discussion of the
rules, set tentatively for the Jan. 9 council meeting.
Weve heard a lot from the residents
that [the current zoning rules] are changing the character of the neighborhoods.
Ive taken that feedback to heart. Thats
why I voted for the temporary moratorium, he said. We want to give people a
sense that were putting a priority on
maintaining that neighborhood feel that
attracted so many of them to this area.

by a city contractor.
Forcum has been able to stay in her
home throughout the duration of the
work to fix the flooding damage, while
many of the other residents on El
Bonito Way are still displaced and have
limited options for addressing the devastating damage to their property, said
Jabagchourian.
These families are in tough situations, there should be some kind of
help, said Jabagchourian. There
should be some kind of aid for them
because the families are taking a direct
shot and it is a hard one.
The insurance companies for the residents on El Bonito Way declined to
cover the damages citing holes in their
policies, and the city also denied their
damages claim, so Jabagchourian filed
separate lawsuits representing them as
well.
He said some of the flooding from the
March incident was so severe that residents needed to strip contaminated portions of their homes down to the studs
and rebuild sizable portions of their
properties that were irreparably damaged. He added many of the homeowners personal belongings were ruined

and needed to be thrown out, compounding the economic demands placed

on their shoulders.
They are double whammied, and all
the damage and all the repair is coming
out of their pockets, he said.
Jabagchourian was reticent to draw
parallels between the El Bonito Way
incident and the earlier flooding at
Forcums home, citing different contributing circumstances.
But he did suggest the city examine
its underground sewage systems to
assure there is not a structural issue
causing the floods.
If there is a fundamental problem
with the infrastructure, I hope they fix
it sooner than later so its not wiping
peoples stuff out, he said.
But with the flooding being a reoccurring issue, Jabagchourian said he is
hopeful the lawsuits offer a form of
accountability which has been difficult
for all his clients to find so far.
These families none of them did
anything wrong, and nobody is stepping up, he said. So its my job to get
someone to step up sooner than later, I
hope.

leash areas at Mori Point and Milagra

Ridge, but was still disappointed that
most of the GGNRA remained inaccessible to dogs and their owners.

County, they added or expanded onleash areas at Muir Beach, Crissy Field
and Baker Beach and expanded the offleash area at Crissy Field in response to
public comment.
However, Buffa noted that in Marin
County, for example, the only off-leash
area is at the remote Rodeo Beach, and
accessible trail areas have been cut from
24 miles to 8.
The National Park Service will publish a record of decision in January and
release a final rule later in 2017. An
effective date has yet to be set.

I appreciate the Park Services compromise, but it does not go far enough
to address the full scope of what dog
walkers reasonably requested, Speier
said. However, after 14 years of gridlock, I am relieved to see some movement in the right direction.
Park service officials said that in
addition to the new areas in San Mateo

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carmelita Finkelstein
Case Number: 16PRO00552
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Carmelita Finkelstein. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Frederick Clarke in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Frederick Clarke 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: December 20, 2016
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Adopts the 2016 California
Building Standards Code including updates to the Residential, Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electric, Energy, Green, Fire, Historical,

plastic plumbing outside of
structures and within single

based on a building safety
score rather than a fifty percent valuation calculation,

excavation and grading requirements, and includes
state requirements for permit expediting of solar installations and electric vehicle
charging stations in new development.

Russia says Syrian army suspending

combat, residents say theres no let-up
By Sarah El Deeb
and Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Russia said the

Syrian army was suspending combat operations in Aleppo late
Thursday to allow for the evacuation of civilians from besieged
rebel-held neighborhoods, but
residents and fighters reported no
let-up in the bombing and
shelling campaign on the oppositions ever-shrinking enclave.
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov, speaking in
Germany after talks with U. S.
Secretary of State John Kerry, said
military experts and diplomats
would meet Saturday in Geneva to
work out details of the rebels exit
from Aleppos eastern neighborhoods, along with civilians who
were willing to leave the city.
Lavrov said the Syrian army suspended combat action late
Thursday to allow some 8, 000
civilians to leave the city in a
convoy spreading across a fivekilometer (three-mile) route.
However, opposition activists
said there was no halt to the government offensive.
Battles are intense, said a
message from a rebel operation
room shared with the Associated
Press. Other residents reported
warplanes firing from machine
guns at rebel positions and
artillery shells falling in the
remaining rebel-controlled districts.
In
Washington,
State
Department
spokeswoman
Elizabeth Trudeau said the U.S.
was focused on de-escalating the
violence in Aleppo to allow aid
into the city and enable people
wishing to stay in their homes to
do so.
She said Kerry and Lavrov continued talks on Thursday with the
goal of securing a cease-fire and
the safe departure of those who
wish to leave the city. She said
details of Saturdays U.S.-Russian
technical discussions in Geneva
were still being worked out.
Earlier, in Geneva, U.N. special
adviser Jan Egeland said efforts to
evacuate hundreds of wounded people from eastern Aleppo had
stalled following a deadly attack
this week on a Russian military

U.N. Syria envoy expects to meet with Trump team

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The U.N.

envoy for Syria says he expects
to meet with someone Presidentelect Donald Trumps team in the
coming days.
Staffan de Mistura made his

remarks on his way to brief the

Security Council on the situation
in Syria.
The plan is to meet some people around the team of President
Trump,
de
Mistura
told
reporters, without offering more
details.

It was unclear if any action

would result from de Misturas
briefing after Russia and China
vetoed a resolution earlier this
year calling for a 7-day truce in
the Syrian city of Aleppo. It was
the sixth time Russia used its
veto to block action on Syria.

hospital that left two Russian

nurses dead and a doctor seriously
wounded.
It is with bitterness and frustration that we have to report that we
have not been able even to evacuate the wounded, Egeland said.
The member states that are supposed to help us get access to
civilians in the cross-fire are
poles apart in how they regard
what is happening in Syria.
He said Syrian President
Bashar Assads government had
authorized U. N. -organized aid
shipments into eastern Aleppo
for the first time. However, he
provided no details about how
the aid might get in or where it
would go, and past agreements
have fallen through before any

aid could be delivered.

Medical officials in the enclave
issued a passionate plea for a
cease-fire.
Aleppo is finished. There is
nothing left except a few residents
and bricks, Mohammed Abu
Jaafar, the head of the eastern
Aleppo forensic authority, said in
a recorded message shared with
reporters. This may be my last
call.
By early afternoon, Abu Jaafar
said 14 bodies had arrived at his
facility from all over eastern
Aleppo, although a comprehensive death toll for the day was not
possible because of the intense
fighting. Residents described
streets littered with bodies as
ambulances and rescue workers

struggled to keep up.

The rebel defenses have buckled
amid the wide-ranging government offensive, which opened a
number of fronts at once and was
preceded by an intensive aerial
campaign. More than three-quarters of the rebel sector has now
fallen, including the symbolically
important ancient Aleppo quarters. More than 30,000 of the estimated 275,000 residents of the
besieged eastern enclave have fled
to western Aleppo.
The Syrian government has dismissed a proposal for a cease-fire
put forward by the rebels
Wednesday.
In
comments
published
Thursday in the state-owned alWatan newspaper, Assad in said he

would no longer consider truce

offers, adding that such proposals, particularly by the Americans,
often come when the rebels are in
a difficult spot.
That is why we hear wailing
and screaming and pleas for truces
as the only political discourse
now, Assad said.
He said that while a victory by
Syrian government forces in the
battle for Aleppo would be a big
gain, it will not end the countrys
civil war.
Liberating Aleppo from the terrorists deals a blow to the whole
foundation of this project, he
said. But he added, to be realistic,
it doesnt mean the end of the
war.
On
Thursday,
opposition
activists reported intensive
bombing in the al-Sukkari and
Kallaseh neighborhoods still
under rebel control.
Al-Sukkari is in the southern
part of eastern Aleppo, an area
that has become home to the
majority of the displaced civilians
who stayed behind; Kallaseh is
near the Old City. Footage by the
Syrian military showed intensive
shelling of Bustan al-Qasr, a
frontline neighborhood that links
the rebel-held eastern and government-controlled western parts of
the divided city.
The International Committee
for the Red Cross said that it had
evacuated 148 disabled civilians
and others in need of urgent care
from a facility in Aleppos Old
City after fighting calmed down
there.
The evacuation, undertaken
jointly with the Syrian Arab Red
Crescent, was completed late
Wednesday, the Red Cross said in a
statement. The people had been
trapped in a facility that was originally a home for the elderly and
included mentally and physically
disabled patients, as well as
injured civilians who had sought
refuge there.
They were forgotten, said
Pawel Krzysiek, the agencys
communication coordinator in
Damascus. The evacuees were
taken to a hospital and shelters in
the western, government-held part
of Aleppo.
