County seeks regional approach to pot rules

San Mateo County Board of Supervisors consider pros and cons of marijuana legalization
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A temporary ban on commercial

marijuana activity will likely be
enacted next week as San Mateo
County officials consider a
regional approach to determining
new rules while folding in

thoughts on economic possibility, the agricultural industry and

overall impact.
The Board of Supervisors met
Tuesday and directed staff to return
Dec. 13 with an emergency moratorium on cultivation and distribution of marijuana within the countys jurisdiction, essentially unin-

corporated areas. The ban will be

used as a stopgap while the county
considers how it might adapt to
Proposition 64, which San Mateo
County voters approved by 63
percent, higher than the states 57
percent average.
We want to be really careful. We
understand its the will of the peo-

ple to make this legal, but we want

to develop a framework that protects our citizens and complies
with the will of the people, said
Supervisor Don Horsley.
San Mateo County is a diverse
region bordered by the coast and
Bayfront, marked with lush agricultural lands as well as dense

high-tech employment centers.

Since the prospect of legalized
marijuana came to the foreground,
a handful of the countys 21 cities
took steps to restrict or study the
impacts of the pot business.
Now, county officials will seek a

Reimagining Red Morton Park

By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Nearly everyone agrees the Veterans

Memorial Senior Center and YMCA building
in Redwood Citys Red Morton Park needs
revitalizing.
But whether it will be rehabilitated and
expanded or reimagined and rebuilt is the
question city officials are exploring through
a public planning process that will take in
comments and concerns from the public and
city officials.
The Planning Commission held a scoping
session this week as part of the environmental impact review process for a new joint-use
facility that will house both city and YMCA
programs and would replace the current senior center, built in 1956 and deemed by city
staff to be slowly deteriorating.
Its interesting in that we are only conceptual right now, said Chris Beth,
Redwood Citys Parks, Recreation and
Community Services director. We dont
have a design yet, but are looking at building capacity: scale, size, traffic and parking.
Tuesdays scoping session marked one of
the first of several steps for an environmental impact report. The EIR will engage the
surrounding community in identifying possible physical and environmental effects of
the project and determine the projects maximum parameters.
We wanted to do an EIR first so we know
what the constraints are, Beth said.
Two scenarios have been proposed. While
the current square footage of all the buildings total 87,614 square feet, a reimagine
and rebuild scenario envisions 125,000
square feet and a rehab and expand scenario
includes 118,000 square feet. Both new scenarios keep the existing facilities and add a
gym and media center. The NFL Alumni
Building would be provided in the senior
center and the aquatic center would be provided in the YMCA in both scenarios.

In June, the City Council approved an

exclusive negotiating agreement with the
YMCA of Silicon Valley, formalizing a partnership to reimagine Red Morton Parks
senior center and defining the terms by
which the environmental analysis would
proceed. The partners hope this collaboration will result in a facility that fosters intergenerational health, wellness and recreational activities, according to a staff
report.
The campus as it sits now encompasses
four separate buildings which segregates
program participants and social interaction
opportunities, according to the report.
The adjacent Herkner Memorial Pool is
also outdated and the facility allows little
flexibility due to its design, according to the
report.
The partnership was borne out of an effort
to spread resources throughout the community.
When we started looking at this six years
ago, the recession had happened, and the
city took a big hit on staffing and resources.
We started looking at different ways of delivering services, said Beth.
Walter Moore, a longtime resident of
Redwood City, admired these efforts.
I am an active and current user of the
YMCA on Hudson, and I am thrilled with
this, he said, according to a video of the
meeting. The work youve already done to
enter into a negotiating an agreement with
the Y, I think its wonderful as a resident of
Redwood City. As you see this vision come
together, a lot more people will start to
come around this and support this vision.
Others sought more clarity as to the
design and functionality of the joint-use
space. Debbie Moore, board member of the
Redwood City Sharks swim team, spoke on
behalf of other parents whose children frequently use the Herkner pool for swim lessons and meets.
I consider myself a heavy Herkner pool
user. Its a great place. Its well-loved, she

said, according to a video of the meeting.

Were scared were going to lose our pool to
the YMCA. There are a lot of us who want to
be heard. We need you guys to help us feel
more comfortable with it.
John Spotorno, chair of Redwood Citys
Architectural Advisory Committee, voiced
concerns about the aesthetic changes the
proposed project might bring.
I hope that the EIR scoping will look at
impacts are and what options there could be.
I hope it looks at the overall character and
the feeling of the space as it is and how it
may change with the new project. To me,
looking at the massing diagrams, it looks
like buildings and a parking lot, much more
urban than it currently feels, he said,
according to a video of the meeting.
Commission Chair Nancy Radcliffe
implored the public to follow the project and
continue to voice their ideas and concerns.
Were not talking about a very specific
building, were talking about the most that
can happen, she said, according to a video
of the meeting. It may end up being a onestory building, regardless, its up to the
community. Its really important that you
stay involved.
Beth is eager to include these responses
and others that will come in as the scoping
and design processes continue. City staff
will proceed with the EIR while engaging
the public on the design process. They are
hoping to complete both the EIR and design
process at the end of 2017.
Were trying to figure out what we can put
in from programs and incorporate what
weve heard from surveying seniors, he
said. There are a lot of steps, and were
going to be working with the public on
this.

Firefighter: Warehouse missing

from fire-inspection records
By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The illegally occupied Oakland warehouse

where dozens of partygoers perished in a blaze does not appear in
a database fire inspectors use to
schedule inspections and may
never have been checked for fire
hazards, a firefighter with knowledge of the situation told The
Associated Press.
Oakland fire officials are supposed to annually inspect commercial buildings for fire safety,
with only single-family homes
and duplexes exempted, according
to a city website. Officials typically pull addresses from a data-

base to request the yearly checks,

said the firefighter Thursday, who
feared retribution for disclosing
the information and spoke only
on condition of anonymity.
Commercial inspections are
conducted as time permits during a
fire stations 24-hour shift and are
not routinely scheduled on an
appointment basis, the citys
website explains.
Theres a fire station right
around the corner from the warehouse, which Derick Ion Almena, a
sometimes-photographer
who
rented the building and sub-leased
living space to artists, had dubbed
the Ghost Ship.
The victims, ranging in age
from 17 to 61, died while attend-

ing a $10-a-head dance party at the

warehouse. On the campus of the
University of California at
Berkeley on Thursday, family
members and friends hugged one
another and wept as they spoke of
two students, two recent graduates
and a campus volunteer who died in
the blaze. On Friday, all the names
of the victims were released.

father of 21-year-old victim

SACRAMENTO Three out of

four registered California voters
cast a ballot in the November
election, the highest rate of participation since the 2008 presidential election, state data show.
Friday was the deadline for
counties to finish counting and
report their official results to the
secretary of states office. It
reports that just over 14.6 million ballots were cast in
California, or 75.3 percent of the
states 19. 4 million registered
voters.
Turnout this year among registered voters was up 3 percentage
points from 2012, but it fell four
points short of the participation

rate in 2008, when Barack Obama

was elected.
This year, Democrat Hillary
Clinton won 62 percent of the
vote in California, defeating
Republican Donald Trump by 4.3
million votes to win the states
55 electoral college votes.
California saw a surge in registered voters in the months before
the election, when the voter rolls
swelled to a record high, but its
too soon to know whether those
new voters ended up casting a ballot, said Mindy Romero, director
of
the
California
Civic
Engagement Project at the
University of California, Davis.
Turnout among all eligible
adults was 58. 7 percent, just

GOPs Obamacare repeal path

worries health care industry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON One by one,

key health care industry groups
are
telling
the
incoming
Republican administration and
Congress that its not a good idea
to repeal the 2010 health care law
without clear plans to address the
consequences.
Hospitals, insurers and actuaries
bean-counters who make longrange economic estimates
weighed in recently, and more
interest groups are expected to

make their views known soon.

Representing
patients,
the
American Cancer Society Cancer
Action Network reminded lawmakers that lives are at stake.
The concerns go beyond the
obvious potential hardship for 20
million people covered by subsidized private insurance and
expanded Medicaid under President
Barack Obamas signature law.
Hospitals say a stand-alone repeal
would cost them billions, compromising their ability to serve local
communities.

Shutdown threat eases as Dems

signal back down on miners aid
By Andrew Tayor
and Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate headed

to a vote averting a government shutdown at midnight Friday as coal-state
Democrats beat a tactical retreat and
promised to continue their fight next
year for monthslong health care benefits for retired miners.
We had no intention of shutting
down the government, said Sen. Chuck
Schumer, D-N.Y., adding that Democrats
would provide enough votes to pass a
stopgap spending bill to keep the government operating through April 28.
The extended fight over the miners
benefits was intended to highlight the
seriousness of this issue, Schumer
said.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., led the
battle of coal-state Democrats who
demanded a one-year extension for the

miners rather than the shorter, fourmonth fix in the spending bill. Faced
with Republicans unwilling to agree to

Obama orders review of

election-season hacking
By Kathleen Hennessey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama has ordered intelligence officials to conduct a broad review of election-season cyberattacks, including
the email hacks that rattled the presidential campaign and raised fresh concerns about Russias meddling in U.S.
elections, the White House said Friday.
The review, led by intelligence agencies, will be a deep dive into a possible pattern of increased malicious
cyber activity timed to the campaign
season, White House spokesman Eric
Schultz said. The review will look at
the tactics, targets, key actors and the
U.S. governments response to the
recent email hacks, as well as incidents reported in past elections, he
said.
The president ordered up the report
earlier this week and asked that it be
completed before he leaves office next
month, Schultz said.
The president wanted this done
under his watch because he takes it
very seriously, he said. We are committed to ensuring the integrity of our
elections.

concluded that Russia aimed specifically to help Donald Trump win the presidency.
The Post said the CIA presented its
assessment to senators last week. The
newspapers report cited anonymous

closed-door meeting.
The Kremlin has rejected the hacking accusations.
In the months leading up to the election, email accounts of Democratic

Party officials and a top Hillary

Clinton campaign aide were breached,
emails leaked and embarrassing and
private emails posted online. Many
Democrats believe the hackings benefited Trumps bid. Trump has downplayed the possibility that Russia was
involved.
Schultz said the president sought the
probe as a way of improving U.S.
defense against cyberattacks and was
not intending to question the legitimacy of Trumps victory.

Big business warns Trump

against mass deportation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Still grappling with Donald Trumps surprise election, the nations business community has begun to
pressure the president-elect to
abandon campaign-trail pledges of
mass deportation and other hardline immigration policies that
some large employers fear would
hurt the economy.
The push, led by an advocacy
group backed by New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg and media
mogul Rupert Murdoch, is still in
its infancy as the business world
struggles to understand the tough-

talking Trumps true intentions on

an issue that defined his outsider
campaign. Some groups, such as
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
are holding off, doubtful that
Trump will actually create a deportation force, as he suggested
before his election, to expel those
estimated 11 million immigrants
in the country illegally.
But others are assembling teams
of public officials and industry
leaders on the ground in key states
to encourage Trump to embrace a
more forgiving immigration policy in the name of economic
development, if not human compassion.

Syrian forces squeeze Aleppo,

bring new wave of evacuations
By Zeina Karam and Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Nearly two weeks into a crushing blitz, Syrian forces and their allies have
taken control of nearly all of what was once
an opposition stronghold in eastern
Aleppo, touching off a new wave of evacuations Friday and raising concerns about
hundreds of men who have disappeared and
are feared to have been seized by the government.
A flood of civilians streamed out on foot
in the wake of the relentless campaign by
forces loyal to President Bashar Assad to
drive rebels from their rapidly crumbling
enclave. They joined tens of thousands who
have fled since Nov. 26, seeking shelter
from the nonstop bombardment and crippling siege.
The writing on the wall looks as if eastern Aleppos battle is virtually over, said
Staffan de Mistura, the U.N. special envoy
to Syria, in an interview with the
Associated Press at U.N. headquarters.
The U.N. human rights office expressed
deep concern about reports that hundreds of
men have vanished after crossing from eastern Aleppo into government-controlled
areas.
Relatives reported losing contact with
the men, who are between the ages of 30 and
50, after they fled opposition-held areas

about a week to 10 days ago, said U.N.
spokesman Rupert Colville. It was not clear
whether they were fighters or civilians.
Colville also said the U. N. High
Commissioner for Human Rights is also
concerned by reports that some civilians
trying to flee are being blocked by armed
opposition groups and, in some cases, fired
upon.
Civilians are being used as pawns and
prevented from leaving, he said at a brief-

ing in Geneva. He estimated there may be

about 100,000 civilians in areas under the
control of armed opposition groups. They
include about 500 medical cases of people
in need of urgent evacuation.
Syrian state TV broadcast video of families emerging from the ravaged eastern districts, the enclave that had been held by
rebels since 2012.
Government-owned al-Ikhbariya TV
showed civilians on foot and at least one

bus snaking through the Ballour crossing,

saying they came from the Saleheen,
Fardous and Sheikh Saeed neighborhoods in
the southern part of eastern Aleppo.
On Thursday, Russia announced the
Syrian army was suspending combat operations to allow for civilians to leave
besieged rebel-held districts, but residents
and medics in the neighborhoods said there
was no letup in the bombardment.
Bombing is truly round the clock, said
Ziad Mohammed, a lawyer and father of
three, who is still in the al-Mashhad neighborhood. There are no hospitals, the remnants of the dead fill the streets and the
wounded have to fend for themselves.
Mohammad, an outspoken government
opponent, said he and many of those
remaining were bracing for certain death.
If staying here means dying here, then
standing by my principles will have been
enough, he said.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark
Toner said Friday that Aleppo was still under
intense fighting. We saw, I think, a brief
pause yesterday, but all too brief. Theres
been no consistent pause in the fighting
that we have seen.
Earlier this week, efforts faltered to evacuate hundreds of wounded despite pleas from
medical officials. A hospital administrator
in the east said medics have submitted lists
of patients who need to be moved out.

Its Trumps war soon: Afghan future is cloudy at best

By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghanistan has

fallen so far from Americans consciousness
that some may have forgotten its called the
forgotten war.
It also is Americas longest war. Now in its
16th year and showing little sign of ending,
it will soon be the responsibility of Donald
Trump, two presidents removed from the
October 2001 invasion.
During the presidential campaign, neither
Trump nor Democrat Hillary Clinton offered
new ideas for breaking the battlefield stalemate. They hardly mentioned the country,
let alone a strategy.
And yet, the war that began as Americas
response to 9/11 grinds on as nearly 10,000

U.S. troops train and advise the Afghan

army and police, hopeful that at some point
the Afghans can stand on their own against
the Taliban or better, that peace talks will
end the insurgency.
While Obama was a longtime critic of the
Iraq war, he always cast the Afghanistan
fight as vital.
Shortly after taking office in 2009,
Obama looked to fix what he saw as U.S.
failures in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He
tripled troop levels in Afghanistan, but the
surge did not force the Taliban to the negotiating table. Pakistan remains a sanctuary for
the Taliban.
In December 2014, the U.S. ended its combat role in Afghanistan, but there will be at
least 8,400 troops there when Trump takes
office.

American troops and their coalition partners perform two tasks: The first, Operation
Resolute Support, is to train and advise
Afghan forces fighting the Taliban. The second, Operation Freedoms Sentinel, is to
hunt down and kill al-Qaida militants, as
well as those affiliated with the Islamic State
and other groups using the country as a hideout and potential launching pad for attacks.
The interests we are pursuing here are
clear and enduring, Defense Secretary Ash
Carter said during a visit Friday. He cited the

goals of preventing another 9/11-type

attack on America and helping Afghanistan
attain enough stability to remain a longterm security partner.
The U.S. performs its counterterror work
in Afghanistan in two ways. First, it goes
after al-Qaida and Islamic State operatives as
a U.S.-only mission. Gen. John Nicholson,

have conducted 350 such missions in 2016

Record-setting stock streak hits sixth day

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks rose

for the sixth day in a row Friday as
major indexes continued to set
records. The biggest gains went to
companies that have been mostly
left out of the post-election rally,
including health care companies
and makers of household goods.
Stocks were solidly higher
throughout the day and jumped an
hour before the close of trading.
Coca-Cola and Pfizer both gained
2.5 percent. Investors have mostly avoided consumer goods makers and health companies in recent
weeks. Instead theyve bought
banks and machinery companies,
which could benefit more from a
faster-growing economy.
What were seeing today is
investors who are fearful theyll
be left behind, said Kate Warne,
investment strategist for Edward

Drug companies bounced back
from their recent losses. Those
stocks, especially biotechnology
companies, were hit hard this
week after President-elect Donald
Trump said he wants to reduce drug
prices. Bristol-Myers Squibb
gained $1.81, or 3.3 percent, to
$57.04 and Botox maker Allergan
rose $3. 78, or 2 percent, to
$192.25.

Overall, health care companies

are nearly flat since Nov. 8.
Technology stocks rose for the
sixth consecutive day and completed their best week in a year.
Theyve slightly lagged the market
since
Election
Day.
Chipmaker Broadcom rose $8.38,
or 4.9 percent, to $179.09 after
reporting earnings that were far
above expectations. The company
also doubled its quarterly dividend. Apple gained $1.83, or 1.6
percent, to $113.95. Google parent Alphabet reversed its postelection losses and picked up

$14. 28, or 1. 8 percent, to

$809.45.
U.S. government bond prices
slipped again. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note inched up to
2.47 percent, its highest in about
18 months, from 2.41 percent late
Thursday. That yield is used to set
interest rates on many kinds of
loans including mortgages.
Next week the Federal Reserve
will meet for the last time in
2016. Investors expect the central
bank to raise its key interest rate,
and Wall Street will look for clues
about the Feds plans for future
interest rates.
Theyre hoping that the Fed
continues with the current message: that theyll be patient, that
theyre watching the economy,
and that they see the risks as balanced, said Warne.
Banks made small gains. The
S&P 500 financial index has
climbed 18.5 percent since Nov.
9, twice as much as any other sector. The S&P 500 overall is up 3.1
percent. Banks are trading at their
highest prices since early 2008.
Benchmark U. S. crude oil
jumped 66 cents, or 1.3 percent,
to $51.50 a barrel in New York.
Brent crude, the international
standard, added 44 cents to $54.33
a barrel in London.

Ford CEO says Trump threats wont change small car plans

DETROIT Ford Motor Co. is

going ahead with plans to move
small-car production from the
U.S. to Mexico despite Presidentelect Donald Trumps recent
threats to impose tariffs on companies that move work abroad.
CEO Mark Fields said Fords
plan to move production of the

because U.S. consumers demand

is less than half
the

price that U.S.

Trump deepens Goldman ties

as he builds out economic team
WASHINGTON In the heat of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump accused primary rival Ted Cruz of being controlled by
Goldman Sachs because his wife, Heidi, previously worked for the Wall Street giant. He
slammed Hillary Clinton for receiving
speaking fees from the bank.
I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They
have total, total control over him, Trump
said of Cruz. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton.
Now, Trump is putting Goldman executives at the helm of his administrations economic team. Hes expected to name bank
president Gary Cohn to an influential White
House policy post, according to two people
informed of the decision, and has already
nominated former Goldman executive Steve
Mnuchin to lead the Treasury Department.
Steve Bannon, Trumps incoming White
House senior adviser, also worked at
Goldman before becoming a conservative
media executive.
Wall Street executives have long wielded
influence in Washington, filling top jobs in
both Republican and Democratic administrations. Goldman Sachs itself has produced
several Treasury secretaries, White House
chiefs of staff and top economic advisers.

Red tape halts new Southwest

DALLAS Southwest Airlines has

American Airlines has been forced to delay

approval from Mexico.
In both cases, the new flights were added

loosen restrictions that had limited crossborder flights.
The Southwest cancelations cover 10 daily

Player of the Year honor, most in the Bears

Friday night 449 yard of which were
accounted for by Johnson and Mims to
take home the Northern California Division
3-AA championship with a 49-21 win over

With the win, M-A advances to the

California champion Paraclete in Lancaster
at 7:30 p.m. Interestingly, former Bears AllPAL lineman Bryce Rodgers, who graduated
after last season, transferred to M-A from
Paraclete.
Friday, it was the M-A offensive line that
paved the way for an explosive opening quarter, and ultimately secured an exciting finish.
The Bears rotated six o-linemen throughout
the night center Leo Cucinell; guards Epeli
Mataele, Noa Nagalu and Ben Makoni; and
tackles Makisi Tonga and Ryan Buck and
the front gave Mims plenty of daylight
through the first quarter.
That (Mantecas defensive line) was a big,

Aldon Smith makes case to

Goodell for reinstatement
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Suspended Oakland

Raiders pass rusher Aldon Smith met
with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
on Friday in hopes of being reinstated
from his substance-abuse ban.
A person with knowledge of the meeting said Smith sat down with the commissioner and other league staff to make
his case to be allowed back on the field
following his yearlong suspension for
violating rules on substance abuse.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity to The Associated Press

because the reinstatement process is

confidential. There is no timeline for
when or if Smith will be reinstated.
NFL Media first reported the meeting.
Smith was suspended for one year in
November 2015 for violating the substance-abuse policy. That stemmed
from an arrest in August on charges of
drunken driving, hit-and-run, and vandalism, which led to his release by the
San Francisco 49ers. That was Smiths

Haase developing Stanford

program for the long haul
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD At the family

home in South Lake Tahoe, Carol
Haase sent her husband out to the
shed to search for just the right
pieces of wood.
The creative mother of five had
begun planning yet another important project in a long list of them for
her kids. Son Jerod Haase, in his
first season as Stanford mens basketball coach, had commissioned
her to create a pair of wood-burning
art pieces including one for outside the Cardinal locker room at
Maples Pavilion.
He requested three words:
Invested. Tough. Selfless.
And he asked for another piece to
hang in his office with a space for
former players to sign it when they
return to visit campus.
After coaching stops at alma
mater Kansas, North Carolina and
the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, Haase is ready to put
down roots on The Farm. He hopes
to build a program that, eventually,
contends year in and year out again
like it did for decades before.
For him, that starts by thoughtfully incorporating the programs
past success while imparting his
own philosophies on a new team.
Ive come to really believe in
culture, Haase said. When I first
became a head coach, we had a lot of
conversations on the staff, Is culture a real thing? or How important
is it? After my second year at UAB,
I really jumped all in. The idea of, we
have to develop a culture and know
who we are because if we want to get
to a certain spot and a certain level
of success, there have to be some
foundational pieces that we have.
Our core values at UAB were different than they are here. When I got
here, I knew they would be different.
Stanford is a different place, this is
going to be a different team. Were
going to have a different vision for
our program.
Those three words invested,
tough and selfless are ones Haase

BRIAN SPURLOCK/USA TODAY SPORTS

First-year head coach Jerod Haase has the Stanford mens basketball team
off to a 6-3 start, despite being picked to finish 10th in the Pac-12.
hopes define Stanford for years to
come.
It took him a long time to pick
the words, said Carol, a former elementary and middle school art and
English teacher who still fires clay
work in her kiln.
The Cardinal, picked to place
10th in the Pac-12, are off to a 6-3
start and currently on their
December break for final exams.
Players are greeted by the reminder
of the teams philosophy with the
wood burning every time they open
the locker room door.
Thats something were trying to
do for life, senior guard Marcus
Allen said.
Haase is trying to move the program forward while leaning on its
history. Former Stanford star Casey
Jacobsen is a part-time practice player, and Haase has spoken a handful of
times with Golden State Warriors
assistant coach and former Cardinal
center Jarron Collins since taking
over in March. Collins hopes his
demanding NBA schedule permits
him to get to a practice one day soon.
He sent out emails. He does a
really good job of reaching out,
Collins said. They sent out all their
literature and bios on the coaches.
Theyve set up an email service. He

seems fiery, and thats important.

Im excited for his start, and I hope
he does well.
Haase spoke to more than two
dozen former players and successful
longtime ex-Stanford coach Mike
Montgomery. There was also input
sought from current players, and
even former coach Johnny Dawkins
when they ran into each other on the
recruiting trail.
The basketball has come along
nicely, though Haase said it would be
baby steps at first. Even with 10 of
the top scorers returning , building
cohesion was among Haases first
priorities. Of course, Stanford had a
strong opportunity to bond during a
season-opening trip last month to
Shanghai, where it beat Harvard. The
Cardinal also went through a Navy
Seals training course.
Haase took about four months
choosing those three key words,
saying, I have pages and pages of
notes of getting thoughts from
everyone about what they think the
program is, what it needs to be if
were going to be successful, what is
important.
If Im lucky enough to be the
coach here for 25 years, our core
values, I would be shocked if they
changed, he said.

Iowas 24-diamond Field of Dreams baseball complex gets go-ahead

DES MOINES, Iowa The Iowa

with Kevin Costner that theres

Oakland unveils Raiders stadium plan Pats-Ravens

game brings
By Josh Dubow

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Oakland and Alameda

County leaders will vote Tuesday on a financial and development plan to build a $1.3
billion football stadium at the Coliseum site
to keep the Raiders from moving to Las
Vegas.
Mayor Libby Schaaf and other local leaders
on Friday presented details of the plan
reached with the Ronnie Lott Group and
Fortress Investment Group that includes public money only being used for infrastructure
upgrades.
This term sheet agreement puts Oakland
in the running to keep the Raiders in a way
that is responsible to the team, the league,
the fans and the taxpayers, Schaaf said.
Everything the city and county and the
investor team is doing is about putting forward the best offer to encourage the Raiders
ownership and the NFL to keep the Raiders in
Oakland, where the team belongs.
The Raiders had no comment on the plan
and owner Mark Davis is committed to moving to Las Vegas, where a $1.9 billion stadium project has been approved. Nevada will
raise $750 million from a hotel tax to fund
the stadium with billionaire casino mogul
Sheldon Adelson contributing $650 million
and the Raiders and NFL kicking in $500 million.

The Raiders must get

approval from 24 of the
32 NFL owners before
being allowed to move
with a vote possible as
soon as January.
That put pressure on
Bay Area officials to put
together an alternative
Libby Schaaf plan to keep the Raiders
from moving. The parties
have identified $1.25 billion in potential
financing for a project that may cost upward
of $1.3 billion for a stadium that would open
in 2021.
The city will invest $200 million on infrastructure in the area as well as provide land
worth $150 million. The Lott Group will
contribute $400 million to the project with
the NFL and the Raiders contributing $500
million. The NFL has already pledged $300
million to a stadium in Oakland when it prevented the Raiders from moving to Los
Angeles earlier this year.
The city and county still must figure out
how to deal with the nearly $100 million in
debt on the current stadium before finalizing
the deal.
Under the deal, the city and county will
convey approximately 105 acres to Lott
Group/Fortress for a football stadium with
about 55,000 seats will be built along with
mixed-use development for possible office or

retail space, hotels, residential housing and

parking.
There will also be 15 acres reserved for a
new baseball stadium for the Athletics if they
choose to stay at their current site. If the As
decide to move to a different location that
land will be added to the mixed-use development. Also, the 10 acres occupied by Oracle
Arena could be added to the development if
the Warriors move to San Francisco and the
city and county decide not to keep using the
arena.
This is the best plan the city and county
have ever achieved in attempting to keep the
Raiders in Oakland, councilmember Larry
Reid said. We are offering control of the
land, a respected investment team, and no
risk to taxpayers in putting this deal together. This shows the public, the Raiders ownership and the NFL that there is a viable plan to
remain in Oakland.
Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott has teamed with
former NFL player Rodney Peete to head the
Oakland Pro Football LLC, which is working
with global investment manager Fortress
Investment Group LLC on the project.
This is about what it means to be from
Oakland, and the values we share as a
region, Lott said. If we put those things
forward, we believe we have a fighting
opportunity to keep the Raiders here and join
in revitalizing the community around the
Coliseum.

Russian doping involved over 1,000 athletes

By Stephen Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Russias sports reputation

was ripped apart again Friday when a new
report into systematic doping detailed a
vast institutional conspiracy that covered more than 1,000 athletes in over 30
sports and corrupted the drug-testing system at the 2012 and 2014 Olympics.
The findings were handed over to the

International Olympic Committee, which

will be under pressure to take action
against the Russians ahead of the 2018
Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South
Korea.
It is impossible to know just how deep
and how far back this conspiracy goes,
World Anti-Doping Agency investigator
Richard McLaren said. For years, international sports competitions have unknowingly been hijacked by Russians. Coaches

and athletes have been playing on an

uneven field. Sports fans and spectators
have been deceived.
McLarens second and final report said
the conspiracy involved the Russian
Sports Ministry, national anti-doping
agency and the FSB intelligence service,
providing further details of state involvement in a massive program of cheating and
cover-ups that operated on an unprecedented scale from 2011-15.

memories of
Deflategate
By Kyle Hightower
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Its been two

months since Tom Brady returned to the
field after serving a fourgame suspension. In his
eight games back, Brady
has played at an MVP
level in leading his team
to the cusp of yet another
AFC East title.
But as New England
(10-2) prepares to host
the Baltimore Ravens on
Tom Brady
Monday night, the ghost
of Deflategate has emerged this week
even as Brady insists its the furthest thing
from his mind.
In the initial months after Deflategate
began, court papers surfaced as a part of a
lawsuit Brady filed against the NFL to fight
his suspension. They revealed a claim that a
Ravens
employee
contacted
the
Indianapolis Colts about deflated footballs
used in Baltimores playoff loss to the
Patriots the week before the AFC title game
in 2015. Those claims were refuted by the
Ravens.
Brady was suspended for what the NFL
determined was his role in a scheme by the
Patriots to underinflate footballs used in
that 2015 AFC championship game.
I think you just try to put everything
aside, and whether it was that or whether it
was a playoff game a couple of years ago or
whether it was a regular-season game a couple of years ago or championship games,
Brady said this week. I mean, none of those
really matter.

Stanford tops North Carolina, advances to NCAA final

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON For the second straight season, Stanford found itself depending on
penalty kicks to advance to the College Cup
final.
Like last season, the Cardinal came out on
top. After each team converted its first nine
attempts in the tiebreaker, Amir Bashti made
it 10-for-10 for Stanford. Tar Heels defender
Alex Comsia then sent his try over the crossbar to end it, giving Stanford a 10-9 win.
They had just as many good chances as us,
and it could have been a 1-0 game either way,
Stanford coach Jeremy Gunn said.
Stanford (14-3-5) will face Wake Forest in
the College Cup final on Sunday in search of
its second straight national championship.
Its not his fault. We could have done
things in the game to have his back, North

Carolina defender Colton Storm said of

Comsias miss. It could have been any of us.
Its the nature of the game, North
Carolina coach Carlos Somoano said.
Sometimes they go in, sometimes they
dont. Sometimes theres moments you seize
the moments, and sometimes it runs away
from you.
North Carolina (14-3-4) had the two best
chances of the game. Late in the second half,
forward Alan Winn was denied by goalkeeper
Andrew Epstein, who made a nice save with
his legs.
Later, Epstein made the best save of the
match in the final seconds of the second overtime on a shot from forward Tucker Hume.

top with a swift four-play, 71-yard scoring

for us.
Johnson speaks the facts. With Mims

Half Moon Bay running back Chase
Hofmann (2,070 yards) for the Central Coast

Then the Bears offense opened the second
half with an explosive first four minutes.

and he deserves credit, Somoano said.

After a flurry of corner kicks and a free kick
in an attacking area, Stanford had the best
opportunity to score in the first overtime on
a header from Drew Skundrich, but he put if
over goalkeeper James Pyle, who had six
saves. Foster Langsdorf, the Stanford goal
leader who scored in the teams first three
tournament games and has 15 on the season,
had three shots and two on goal but was
unable to break the deadlock before the game
went to penalty kicks.
Any result like that is going to be tough to
swallow, Storm said. Stanfords a really
good team. We each had our chances. National
semifinal, its going to be tough to swallow
no matter what.
While Epstein was unable to stop any of
North Carolinas penalties in the shootout,
his saves late in the game enabled Stanford to

continue its quest for a repeat.

Andys never really attracted much attention, but when youre his coach you appreciate him, Gunn said. You can depend on
him.
Stanford has won 15 of its last 18 games
after starting the season with three ties and a
loss. The Cardinal have yet to concede a goal
through four tournament games, while North
Carolinas season ends after a third consecutive tournament shutout.
After winning the first national championship in program history last season, Gunn
praised his team for continuing to push forward this season.
Its incredible, Gunn said. Youve
always got to be optimistic. Theres no point
in being anything else. We started the year so
well in January. I thought, These players are
so hungry.

On the first play from scrimmage of the

second half, Johnson bolted for a QB option
off tackle for a 55-yard touchdown run. M-A
offensive coordinator Calan Landreth was a
sight on the Bears sideline, as just as the
ball was being snapped, he started yelling:
Hes got a touchdown! Hes got a touchdown!
Sure enough, Johnson brought his offensive coordinators words to fruition.
Landreth said he noticed the Manteca defense
keying on the middle to contend with Mims,
leaving the outside wide open.
I just recognized they didnt have anyone
on the edge to stop Aajon, Landreth said.
Three plays into Mantecas next possession, M-A produced an impressive turnover.
Campiotti who was 21-of-37 for 300
yards passing with three touchdowns and two
interceptions completed a 14-yard out
route for an apparent first down, but after the
catch M-A senior safety Mekhi Blackmon
stripped the ball loose and senior Terrance
Matthews-Murphy came up with the fumble
to give the Bears the ball near midfield.
Four plays later, Johnson made another
scoring run, this time weaving through
defenders and dancing around the pylon for
an 18-yard score, giving M-A a 35-7 advantage.
But somehow Manteca turned up the heat,
rallying for two unanswered scores. Three
plays after Johnsons acrobatic run,
Campiotti hit Presley Keltner for a 35-yard

score. Then after Johnson was picked off by

senior Gerson Gomez just Johnsons
sixth interception throw of the season
Campiotti marched his team 47 yards, finishing with a 22-yard scoring pass to Keltner to
close the lead to 35-21.
The defense, I felt like we got to 35-7 and
we kind of let the foot off the gas pedal,
Ravipati said.
Ravipati called a timeout and gave the
Bears an animated pep talk to retrain their
focus. And the Bears defense responded.
Even though, three plays later, Johnson was
intercepted again this time on a fluke
throw over the middle that hit the M-A
receiver in the hands, was deflected upwards,
and landed right in the waiting grasp of
Manteca safety Kyle Rachels the Bears
defense went on to force two consecutive
three-and-outs.
M-A then put the game away. Mims broke
free again midway through the fourth quarter
for a 72-yard scoring run. Then M-A produced
an interception of its own when Tussing
came up with his third pick of the season to
give the Bears the ball at the Manteca 25.
Four plays later, Mims blasted into the end
zone for a 3-yard score.
Ravipati said he was ultimately proud of
the way his team responded to the secondhalf adversity.
We got it back, Ravipati said. Im so
proud of the way the team played tonight.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Cards sign free agent Fowler

MLB brief

ST. LOUIS The St. Louis

Cardinals have signed free agent
center fielder Dexter Fowler to a fiveyear deal.
The switch-hitting Fowler helped
the Chicago Cubs win their first
World Series since 1908 last year by
batting .276 with a .393 on-base
percentage.
Signing Fowler will cost the
Cardinals their first-round pick (19th
overall) in the 2017 draft, since the
Cubs made him a qualifying offer.
Fowler will wear No. 25 in honor
of Barry Bonds.
You play against the Cardinals,
Ive been playing against them for

eight years now, Fowler said, and

they always come out fighting.
Always fighting. And then being
with a rival, being the Cubs however many times we play them a year,
you see them and its always good
a winning team wants you.
The lanky 30-year-old from
Atlanta is a .268 career hitter over
nine seasons with Colorado,
Houston and the Cubs. Hes
expected to slot into the
Cardinals leadoff spot, giving St.
Louis a switch-hitter in front of
lefty-hitting Matt Carpenter and
righties Aledmys Diaz, Stephen
Piscotty and Yadier Molina.

September 2015 and played nine
games before being suspended for a
second time by the NFL.
Smith also missed the first nine
games of the 2014 season while
serving an NFL suspension for violations of the leagues substanceabuse and personal-conduct policies. He missed time during the
2013 season to undergo treatment
at an inpatient facility following
his DUI arrest that September.
Smith also reportedly entered a

over the years, Christmas tree growers say
their properties are about more than finding
that perfect festive accoutrement.
Owners of Santas Tree Farm, along State
Route 92 just east of Half Moon Bay, and
Rancho Siempre Verde, which sprawls east of
Highway 1 near the southern county border,
are welcoming holiday revelers.
Jake Kosek said his father started Rancho
Siempre Verde 55 years ago, around the time
he was born. Now, the patriarch and his wife,
five children, grandchildren, cousins and
countless friends spend anywhere from a few
days to most of the year tending to the farm.
It holds us together, Kosek said. The
farm becomes the means by which we express
our relationship to each other. We make these
bonds every year and its a ritual. We end up
tired and sore every weekend, but also really
happy.
Activities like wreath making, roasting
marshmallows over a fire, or playing on one
of the farms many swings provide leisurely
ways to celebrate friends and family. In many
aspects, those continuing these traditions
have lineage to thank.
All of us have in one way been engaged in
the farm our whole life. I grew up and the first
thing I remember is running and playing in
the hills and helping people, Kosek said. It

regional approach and potentially craft a template for marijuana rules, which cities within
the county could adopt in an effort to avoid a
patchwork of regulations.
The statewide regulations allow some flexibility and many cities have sought to enact
more stringent provisions, particularly on
commercial operations, in an effort to preserve local control. The new rules include
allowing adults 21 years and older to smoke
marijuana and grow up to six plants for personal use. Businesses must receive a license
from the state, which are expected to roll out
by 2018. Cities have adopted moratoriums
knowing the state wont permit commercial
activities in communities with local restrictions.

Pros and cons on county resources

Supervisor Dave Pine said one of the most
important things that came out of this weeks
study session was a deeper understanding of
how Proposition 64 may affect county operations.

was really the center of our lives.

For Natalie Sare, whose family began
Santas Tree Farm almost 35 years ago, she
too has fond memories of her own son growing up on the 487-acre property along State
Route 92.
One of her favorite pastimes is their annual
puppet show, which her son initiated as a
child by writing the first script, a tradition he
maintains for visitors to this day, Sare said.
Over the years, the Sare family has been a
part of other families history as well.
Theyve witnessed life-changing moments
from marriage proposals to birth announcements, Sare said.
My favorite thing is definitely the customers. Because every single year we have
people that come that used to come here as a
child and now theyre bringing their children,
and sometimes their grandchildren. So we
have generation after generation visit us at
the farm. Its very special, she said.
Rancho Siempre Verde has also attracted its
own following. The farm asks those who cut
their own tree to leave a few branches at the
base, thus allowing it to regrow in a shorter
period of time.
I know people whove gotten the same
tree three times, Kosek said. Its hilarious,
thats three generations of trees!
One resilient specimen has grown more
than six trees off the same stump. Referring
to it as stump culture, theyre known for
growing some of wacky misshapen trees,
Kosek said.
If you want to go look in a funky forest

with trees that are going to have different

shapes and each one is really different, its the
place for you, Kosek said, acknowledging
chopping down a tree and stuffing it into your
living room isnt sensible. But its precisely great because all of a sudden you bring the
outside in and it just takes over the house in
this amazing way.
Sare said part of what keeps her family in
the business of selling Christmas is knowing
their year-round hard work on the farm is
shared in homes across the region.
All businesses get excited about return
customers every holiday season. But for us,
the excitement is even more special because
theyre taking a part of us and putting it into
their homes, Sare said.
But being in the farming business isnt
easy work; it often involves struggling
against Mother Nature case in point, the
ongoing drought.
Sare said Santas Tree Farm hasnt experienced much hardship due to the dry spell. But
Kosek said the drought wiped out nearly
1,000 trees at Rancho Siempre Verde. This
year, they partnered with another family farm
in Oregon to ship in pre-cut noble firs to offset some of the crops they lost, he said.
Since his father started the business buying
land from another longtime coastside farming family, Kosek said three generations
have been working the property through
thick and thin.
Kosek, who also works as a geopolitics
professor at the University of California at
Berkeley, said the farm has grown in popular-

ity as visitors come back year after year.

Despite the hard work, his family is dedicated
to tilling the land in hopeful anticipation of
future generations seeking holiday memories.
We said if were going to do this, lets
make it into a social place, the kind of business we want to run, that wed want to go to,
Kosek said, later adding its a destination for
those wanting to spend a good chunk of
their day outside, away from the malls, away
from everything, with some beautiful views.
Thats the spirit of the place. That landscape
is something weve invested a big portion of
our lives, a big part of our love and our family spirit in.

of the countys various functions from agriculture to public health, to planning and law
enforcement. So it goes far beyond simply
decriminalizing marijuana, Pine said.
Theres a tremendous number of issues to
sort through. Lets make sure we retain local
control and the best way to do that is to pass
a moratorium so the state would not be able to
preempt us.
Various county officials have already
begun to weigh the pros and cons of marijuana activity. For instance, Agricultural
Commissioner Fred Crowder projected greenhouse marijuana cultivation could generate
$100 million a year and not have a significant impact compared to the countys existing industry which has been on the
decline. However, law enforcement and environmental health experts contend there
would be additional costs for inspections or
public safety incidents, according to the
county.
Citing data from states with legalized marijuana such as Washington and Colorado, officials noted reports of an uptick in driving
under the influence crimes. Pine said he is particularly concerned about underage smoking
as marijuana has been shown to have an effect
on developing brains, and Horsley noted
theres not much information about the longterm effects of marijuana use. Horsley, a for-

mer sheriff, added the court system could be

affected as people may be inclined to dispute
arrests, especially as theres no test for driving under the influence of marijuana.
With state marijuana taxes on the horizon,
Horsley added hes leaning against the county
adding its own tax. Officials estimate taxes
could be as high as 35 percent if the county
layered onto the states base tax, which
Horsleys concerned could fuel the black market and those looking to avoid higher prices.

Debbie Ruddock said in responding to the

countys action. Half Moon Bay will consider that option for sure, but in the end,
whichever path we choose will be the one our
community decides is best for Half Moon
Bay.
Horsley noted an array of issues must be
considered when discussing commercial cultivation, such as planning regulations, permitting, fire safety and building inspections. He
also emphasized he wouldnt want to see marijuana take over other prosperous agricultural
industries such as Brussels sprouts.
Pine agreed coastside marijuana cultivation
could be one of the most complex issues the
county will have to tackle in creating new
policies. Adopting the emergency moratorium Dec. 13 is just the first step. Ultimately,
the county will continue studying the issue
and may form a working group with cities and
stakeholders.
San Mateo, Foster City, Burlingame and
San Bruno have already enacted temporary
bans with many officials noting theyre
interested in seeing how the county proceeds.
Well certainly talk more about our interest in working collaboratively with the cities
throughout the county to develop uniform
practices if possible, Pine said. But each
jurisdiction will have to pass their own ordinances.

Liberal bubble
By Megan Tao

Speck and Gordon, who handsomely set

their film in a Chicago high-rise, have a
movie with all the trimmings, but none of
the jokes.
The cast is also titled toward the wrong
people. It stars Jason Bateman as an executive at Zenotek, a computer company that is
run by its budget-cutting CEO, Carol
Vanstone (Jennifer Aniston). The BatemanAniston combo has been trotted out so
often in mediocre comedies (including The
Switch) that it has lost whatever appeal is
once had.
The fresh blood in Office Christmas

saw what appeared to be the Ku Klux

Klan. Directly following the Nov. 8
election, my schools journalism
class attended a journalism convention in
Indiana.
At the end of our trip, we heard news of
an anti-Trump rally happening in Indiana,
which didnt seem odd to us because we
came from California.
However, we were surprised to have also
witnessed the beginnings of a protest
against the anti-Trump
protest. The participants
of this protest were
dressed in the unmistakable white cloaks to
mimic the white
supremacy group, the
KKK.
Phrases such as I want
to go back to our bubble and simply I want
to leave were said as we got to the airport.
I was disappointed, not with the events I
witnessed, but with the reactions from my
fellow journalists.
Going to a red state for the first time,
especially at such a pivotal point in our
nation, I was prepared to meet some people
who did not have the same political ideologies as me and I was excited. I saw it as a
great learning opportunity to gain some
knowledge and expand my cultural capital.
However, I had aspiring journalists next
to me not seeing this event as a story
opportunity or a learning experience, but
as a place from which to run away.
A lot of my classmates desired to return
back to the liberal bubble that is the Bay
Area and remain in the comfort of ignorance.
A recent Saturday Night Live skit may
exaggerate what a liberal bubble is, but it
captures the point. A liberal bubble is a
place that exists and functions without
regard to the rest of the United States and
the world. It may be a safe space for people
who have progressive ideas, but its not a
place where any real progress can be made

Office Christmas Party

throws a holiday rager
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Movie-wise, the office Christmas party is

the great dismantler of white-collar workerbee life. Set out the booze, turn down the
lights, and suddenly the cubicle walls
around staid office life are blown away by
heartbreak (The Apartment) or Hans
Gruber (Die Hard).
The only things to burst forth when the
egg nog starts flowing in Office Christmas
Party, though, are slow-motion party montages that exist for nothing but the films
trailers, and further reflections on the sad
state of the studio comedy.

Directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon

(Blades of Glory, The Switch) have
assembled many key ingredients to a successful Christmas shindig, or as its called
in the film, a non-denominational holiday
mixer. A holiday sweater-clad Kate
McKinnon (who plays a nervous human
resources administrator), alone, should be
enough to cater any party. But theres also
T.J. Miller, Courtney B. Vance, Vanessa
Bayer, Randall Park and two Veep players,
Matt Walsh and Sam Richardson. Who
wouldnt want to carol with such a crew?
But Office Christmas Party and its filmmakers have little feel for how to utilize its
funny cast, or for what it wants to unleash.

Kelly and Fey talk

empowerment in
the time of Trump
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES What an amazing year its been for

women, Tina Fey shouted out Wednesday morning
before she buckled over with a sustained and slightly maniacal laugh.
Speaking to a room of celebrities,
Hollywood execs and reporters in Los
Angeles at The Hollywood Reporters
annual Women in Entertainment event,
Fey, accepting the Sherry Lansing
Award for Leadership with her usual wit
and humor, also said she wondered
how we can proceed in dignity in this
Tina Fey
increasingly ugly,
misogynistic
time?
She suggested looking to her awards
namesake, Sherry Lansing, the former
CEO of Paramount Pictures for inspiration.
You know Sherry Lansing has witnessed some nonsense and some
behavior that the young people today
would call triggering, Fey said.
Megyn Kelly And yet she was able to flourish with
all of her humanity intact . . . Maybe
thats the mantra we can all take with us over the next
four years.
Fey said she didnt want to come and talk about Donald
Trump at the event, which included guests and presenters
such as Emma Stone, Simone Biles, Jessica Lange, Susan
Sarandon and Jon Hamm.
When I get written up in Breitbart its because I want
them to be mad that Im making an all-female Hitler
biopic, she quipped.
But the president-elect was at least a consistent subtext
to the proceedings of the morning, which opened with
remarks from Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly,
The subject of women was everywhere this year,
Kelly said. And sometimes, lets face it, in disturbing
ways.
Kelly, however, said that she has high hopes for
(Trump) despite the tweets and that there is much to
admire about Donald Trump, which elicited a hearty
boo from members of the audience and a middle finger
from attendee Kathy Griffin.
We should appeal to his best angels and hold him to
account when the dark forces appear, Kelly said. If a
fight is unavoidable then we fight with composure and
with grace.
The message across the board was action, and, as Fey
said the power of saying no without negative repercussions, whether its writing a pilot for a bad actor or the
butter scene in Last Tango in Paris or telling Roger
Ailes to put his hamburger meat back in the freezer.
Ryan Murphy, accepting the inaugural Equity in
Entertainment award, spoke about how he is trying to
make a difference for women, people of color and the
LGBTQ community in Hollywood through his Half
Foundation, which aims to put those marginalized
groups in 50 percent of directing jobs.
How as a minority could I have been so blind and so
selfish? Murphy said. I was personally part of the system that was failing our business.
In just 10 months of his program, hes already made
good on giving 60 percent of his directing jobs to
women.
What Ive learned is if you have power and you want to
bring positive change, everyone will conspire to help
you do that, Murphy said. But you have to speak up.

Donald Trump is bashing Saturday Night Live and impersonator Alec Baldwin again.

Trump on the attack

against SNL again
By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The chief critic-elect

of Saturday Night Live, Donald
Trump, is bashing the show and impersonator Alec Baldwin again this time
prodded into action Wednesday by
NBCs own Matt Lauer.
The president-elect called the latenight institution unfunny and Baldwins
portrayal of him mean-spirited, suggesting Saturday Night Live wasnt
long for the world. Trump who
appeared as guest host on SNL in
November 2015 has grumbled in
tweets about the show three times since
October, most recently last weekend
after Baldwin and Kate McKinnon
appeared in a skit about his Twitter
habit. Trumps frequent tweeting was
raised by Lauer in a telephone interview
on the Today show following Time
magazines selection of the presidentelect as its Person of the Year.
Can we agree, President-elect Trump,
that it would be better for you to simply
stop watching SNL as opposed to
watching and then complaining about
it? Lauer said.
His question was no ad-lib, since NBC
quickly aired clips of the BaldwinMcKinnon sketch as Trump replied.
I hosted SNL when it was a good
show but its not a good show anymore, said Trump, who also took a turn
as guest host in 2004. First of all,
nothing to do with me, theres nothing
funny about it. The skits are terrible. I
like Alec, but his imitation of me is really mean-spirited and not very good ...
Its very biased and I dont like it.
And yet, Lauer noted, he still watches.
You look at the way the show is

going now and the

kind of work theyre
doing, who knows
how long the show
is going to be on?
Its a terrible show,
Trump said.
Fact
check:
Saturday
Night
Donald Trump Live is in its 42nd
season and enjoying its best ratings since 1992, the
Nielsen company said. Viewership is up
33 percent over 2015.
The attention paid by Trump certainly
hasnt hurt, said NBC Entertainment
Chairman Bob Greenblatt.
I love the fact that SNL has this position of being able to have a lot of
impact on current events and that the
world turned to the show in record numbers this past fall to see how they were
going to comment on what was going
on and bring comedy to that,
Greenblatt said.
The shows founding executive producer, Lorne Michaels, would not comment on Trumps statement, a spokeswoman said. Michaels, awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom by
President Barack Obama two weeks ago,
hasnt reacted publicly to the criticism
by the soon-to-be leader of the free
world. Baldwin, whose portrayal in a
skit that satirized Trumps tweets was
dubbed sad by Trump in last weekends
late-night tweet, responded via Twitter:
Release your tax returns and Ill stop.
Ha.
There are certain things that come
with the presidency the football with
the (nuclear) codes, Air Force One and
being parodied on Saturday Night
Live, said James Andrew Miller, co-

author of Live From New York: The

Complete, Uncensored History of
Saturday Night Live. He should just
relax and get used to it.
The unprecedented high-level attention is nothing but good for the show,
Miller said. It reminds Trumps Twitter
followers who might not be regular
viewers that SNL is still around and
relevant, he said. A rebellious reputation also cant hurt a show thats been
alive for longer than most of its viewers, many of whom would find Trump
criticism to be a thumbs-up.
Miller said he didnt believe that the
knowledge that Trump is keeping his
eye on them would make the show and
its writers self-conscious.
Lorne has a laser focus on the fact
that there should be no other agenda but
to be funny, he said. I dont think
theyre going to ... try to do any political messaging in response to what
(Trump) is doing.
Trump, of course, has a long history
with NBC. His host appearance last fall
was not welcomed by several cast members or Trumps Republican primary
opponents, who lobbied for equal time.
The president-elects also owed much
of his public profile to his years as host
of NBCs The Apprentice. In fact,
Trump made his announcement that he
would not run for president in 2012 at a
presentation NBC was giving to advertisers about its fall schedule. The network cut ties with Trump shortly after he
announced he was running for president
in June 2016.

Mel Harris: Thirtysomething stars remain close friends

By Lauri Neff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Almost 30 years since

thirtysomething went off the air, the now
50-something cast of the drama about a
group of American baby boomers remain
friends.
Mel Harris, who played Hope Steadman
on the show, says she and cast mates Ken
Olin, Timothy Busfield, Patricia Wettig,
Polly Draper, Melanie Mayron and Peter
Horton bonded while making the show,
which aired on ABC from 1987 through
1991.

Mel Harris

We were also there

for each other as coworkers, as friends and
that bond has continued
o ut s i de o f i t . Do we
h av e
di n n er
ev ery
Friday night together?
No, which would be a
hoot, but I would say
every few years we get
together. We see each

other.
Harris says she just recently ran into Olin
in Vancouver, Canada, where shes filming
the Hulu series, Shut Eye.

We went to dinner. It was just lovely.

The new series, which begins streaming
on Dec. 7, is about fake fortune teller
Charlie Haverford, played by Jeffrey
Donavon (Burn Notice), who starts having real visions after suffering a severe
head trauma.
Harris plays Nadine Davies, a wealthy
socialite and one of Haverfords marks.
Its her second bout with psychics,
Harris says. Theyre very good at getting
her to trust them in the face of, Oh, Ive
already been burned once, and in the course
of the journey when she realizes that maybe
she cant trust them. Its an awakening

event for Nadine Davies.

The role marks the first regular one in
almost a decade for Harris who in recent
years has been focusing on fixing up old
houses and working on TV pilots with her
writing partner and husband Bob Brush.
She decided to take on Shut Eye after
Brush took a break from writing pilots to
work on a book.
Harris says shes not sure yet if shell
continue acting when her writing partner
frees up but says for the moment shes having fun.
Otherwise, I wouldnt do it thirty-something years later.

because everybody essentially already
thinks the same.
Not knowing and experiencing what other
opinions and political ideologies are outside
of the Bay Area can hinder ones ability to
form reasons for why they believe in what
they believe in because how can they know
their side is right if one doesnt know the
other side?
Getting a small taste of outside the bubble
and immediately wanting to crawl back in is
dangerous and worse than not knowing
other opinions because its one making a
conscious choice to not further pursue
knowledge out of fear.
After experiencing other peoples opinions and gaining some reasoning behind
thinking a certain a way, choosing to come
back to the bubble is a respectful choice
because one is no longer living blindly.
The difference between returning out of
fear and returning out of a logic-based
choice is what separates the stereotypical

WEEKEND JOURNAL
liberals mocked on SNL and the ones who
can promote change.
Living in the Bay Area has its perks from
being close to the ocean to being a wellknown sanctuary city but, in a place that
prides itself on being diverse, it lacks a
diversity of political opinions.
Ironically, liberals are supposed to be
open-minded and progressive, and yet most
are not willing to listen to other people
with different political views simply
because theyre different. They prefer to live
in their own bubble and ignore that there are
people who dont hold the same ideals as
them.
This fits with the theme that ignorance is
bliss.
We can choose to remain in the bubble of
ignorance and feel safe and comfortable,
which is an option thats not bad, just lacks
progression. Or, we can venture out into the
scary unknown and possibly come back a
more understanding and accepting person.

Party, though, is Miller, the Silicon

pointed and smarter parody of internet company culture. But in his biggest big-screen
role yet, hes lost little of his swagger.
Here, hes the head of Zenoteks Chicago
branch, a position inherited from his late
father. The bigger job went to his sister,
Carol, whom he resents for her more corporate management.
Given two days to turn the branchs profits around before his sister drastically cuts
the staff, he desperately organizes an
extravagant holiday party to court a lucrative client (Vance). The early scenes, preromp, are the films best. Since television

together by six writers, doesnt have the
confidence to build its story through the
interplay of its employees, and it soon tires
of office politics. As things ramp up, a prostitute (Abbey Lee) and a pimp (Jillian Bell)
are brought in, as is a far-fetched plot
involving Olivia Munns inventor. The film
seems to be hanging together purely to
accommodate enough scenes of Project Xstyle mayhem as the party careens out of
control, complete with already stale Uber
and 3-D printer gags. Even when todays
comedies go crazy, theres not an ounce of
danger.
Its just nearly enough to make a movie,
despite the considerable spiritedness of
Miller, an arched-eyebrow force of nature.
The best that can be said for Office
Christmas Party is that at least it doesnt
underuse him.
Office Christmas Party, a Paramount
Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for crude
sexual content and language throughout,
drug use and graphic nudity. Running time:
105 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.
Still she doesnt know that Jervis is her
benefactor, posing a dilemma for him
because he wants to marry her. But of course
theres a happy ending.
Its all quite engaging thanks to the show
itself as well as Robert Kelleys direction and
the two appealing actors. Both Maiberger as
Jerusha and Carley as Jervis are good singers
and actors.
Musical director William Liberatore conducts two other musicians from the piano,
providing supportive accompaniment.
Joe Rageys two-level set is complemented
by scenic projections reflecting the college
campus, Jervis office and other locations.
Running about two hours with one intermission, this is a charmingly romantic show
that fills one with holiday cheer.

The Last Guardian likely

to confound the impatient
By Lou Kesten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I once knew a border collie who liked to mess with my head.

She would grab a stick, run circles around me, then drop the
stick at my feet. Then, when I threw the stick, she would sit
down and stare at me as if to say, No, YOU fetch.
Trico, the co-star of The Last Guardian (Sony, for the
PlayStation 4, $59.99), is like that. Its an exotic behemoth,
a chimerical combination of dog, bird and several other
species that may be the most lifelike beast ever seen in a
video game. Unfortunately, its stubborn personality makes it
a less-than-ideal companion for the poor boy who needs its
help escaping from a crumbling death trap.
As The Last Guardian begins, the nameless boy wakes up
at the bottom of a pit with Trico. The boy is covered with
mysterious tattoos, while the animal is badly wounded and
chained to the ground. The lad needs to find some food, yank
some spears out of Tricos hide and set it free before the twosome can find their way out.
Trico may have wings and feathers, but it cant fly. It does
have powerful haunches, so it can leap quite a distance. The
boy himself has some rudimentary climbing skills, but they
arent much help in the towering edifices in which hes
trapped. So he needs to climb aboard Trico and hope the big
lug will follow his suggestions.
And thats where frustration sets in. Too many times, I
found myself in a situation where the solution seemed apparent if I could just get Trico to play along. So I climbed aboard
a dodgy proposition in itself, since the controls to make
the boy climb are shaky. I yelled. I stroked the beasts feathers. I jumped up and down on his head. Then Id give up and
look for another answer only to watch the stubborn
varmint suddenly do exactly what Id been pleading for all this
time.
Theres a lesson there, I suppose. Most of lifes problems
cant be resolved with a logical approach; you need to coax,
feed and comfort the other characters involved. But for a game
thats essentially one giant maze, I would have preferred a
more clearly defined set of rules and commands or at least a
way to know if I was actually getting through to Trico.
More patient players will be more appreciative. The Last
Guardian is gorgeous, with expansive vistas of the majestic
ruins that are so tantalizingly out of reach. And the animation
of Trico and the boy is spectacular, letting you observe their
initial wariness slowly develop into mutual affection.
Director Fumito Ueda is known for two cult classics, Ico
and Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian
evokes those games overwhelming sense of mystery. After a
long time in development, though, it may just be too mysterious for even Uedas fans. Two stars out of four.

Chilean director Pablo Larrain is on a

heros quest to destroy the conventional
biopic it seems. He turned the postassassination days of Jacqueline
Kennedy into an atmospheric examination of mythmaking and the public and
private self in Jackie, and in Neruda,
the story of a poet on the run, into a
thrilling meditation on authorship.
The stories of both Jackie Kennedy
and Pablo Neruda are already compelling
on their own, but Larrain manages to go
beyond the specifics and get to their
essence through powerfully and uniquely cinematic storytelling. Larrain is not
interested in dramatizing a Wikipedia
page, but getting to the truth in spite of
the facts. In this way, even though he
explains relatively little, he reveals
quite a lot.
New York Times Book Review critic
Selden Rodman said of Pablo Neruda
that no writer of world renown is perhaps so little known to North
Americans. I certainly didnt know
anything about the Chilean poet, and
that fact is likely inextricably linked
with my assessment and enjoyment of
the film, but not to its artistic merits, of
which there are many.
Neruda was and is that rarest of creatures a popular poet of the people.
This man would pull a piece of paper
out of his pocket and 10,000 workers
would go silent to hear him recite poetry, says one character in the film.
His communist affiliation made him
an enemy of the state in post-WWII
Chile, however, forcing him into exile
in 1948.

Neruda is more interested in the ineffable experience than reality, or making you
forget youre watching a movie.
Were introduced to Neruda (played by
Chilean actor Luis Gnecco, who gives a
tremendous dramatic performance) living life as a communist senator, a poet
and an all-around bon vivant with his
aristocratic wife, Delia (Mercedes
Moran). Hes pompous and charming
and hedonistic and empathetic all at
once but glaringly disconnected from
the people he writes about and for.
When a warrant is issued for his arrest,
Pablo and Delia go on the run away from
their fancy digs and parties and friends
and attempt survival in more modest settings, always fearful of who might be
around the corner ready to report them to
the authorities. Pablo sneaks out on
occasion to mingle with the local prostitutes when hes not writing.
On their tail is a police officer,

Garcia Bernal), a character who was

invented for the story to make it more of
a fable. While Neruda starts out a little
slow, it kicks into gear with Oscars
arrival. Hes a noir-style detective on
the hunt for the exile with mechanical
resolve, but within these genre confines
the story manages also to be immensely
playful and insightful, too about politics, authorship and art as it toys
with form, tone and story.
There is a great meta conversation
between Oscar and Delia at one point in
which Delia tells Oscar that he is merely
a secondary character who is given context and life only by the man hes pursuing. The artificiality of the self-conscious exchange is exaggerated by their
shifting setting (one moment theyre
inside sitting at a table, the next theyre
outside standing face to face).

FEES
Continued from page 1
We are updating our school facilities thanks to the 2015 bond measure
passed by the voters, she said. The
development fees, although a much
smaller amount of revenue than the
bonds, will enhance our ability to provide additional facilities for our new
students coming to us a result of this
development.
Under the boards approval, the fee
jumped by 12 cents per square foot of
residential development, and 2 cents
per square foot of commercial space.
The elementary school district is
limited in the amount of money per
square foot it can collect though, due to
an income sharing agreement with the
Sequoia Union High School District,
which also serves Redwood City.
According to terms of the agreement, the elementary school district
may take in 60 percent of the maximum fee allowed to be charged, and the
rest is left to the high school district.
Under the most recent hike, the elementary school district stands to collect $2.08 per square foot of residential development and approximately
33 cents for office space.
Though the fee per square foot may

TURF
Continued from page 1
Superintendent Craig Baker said in
an email the issue continues to be a
potential point of interest for the
trustees, who face a pending decision
regarding whether to replace a grass
field on the Arundel Elementary School
campus with a synthetic substitute.
The board will have to make continuous decisions in the years to come
around facilities improvements that
could include field space, he said.
One such decision will be coming up
in February with regard to the field at
Arundel, which has been being discussed for over a year now. By that
time, the board wants to feel fully
informed of what the up-and-down
sides are of various surfaces so they
have some general criteria for making
these decisions.
San Carlos residents have long
been wary regarding the potential
health hazards associated with artificial turf comprised of crumb rubber,
which is generated from recycled automobile tires. But alternative surfaces
comprised of a variety of more potentially benign materials such as sand,
virgin rubber, coconut and other natu-

seem nominal, the money generated
can be a relatively sizable source of
income for a district, depending on the
activity in the local development market.
Redwood Citys growth has boomed
in recent years, as many new homes
and office spaces have been built to
meet the demand for living near the
thriving local technology industry.
The rate of new housing construction has accelerated in a heated market.
The strong regional employment need
for workers in the high-tech industries
keeps increasing the number of young
families seeking housing, though this
is balanced by rising housing costs,
according to a district report.
As a result, $1.78 million was generated from developer fees for the district
last year, according to district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter.
More building is on the horizon too,
according to the report projecting the
future growth should have a sizable
effect on the local school district.
The real estate market had become
quite strong in the area and several
large housing projects were being proposed. A possible 2,048 units could be
developed over the next decade; the
firm projected that these units if
constructed would generate 351 students, requiring the Redwood City
School District to provide capacity for
them, according to the district report,

citing projections by forecasting firm

DecisionInsight.
Comparatively, elementary school
districts in Millbrae and San Carlos
collected between roughly $250,000
and $315,000 respectively over the
past year, according to reports recently approved by the school district.
The Millbrae Elementary School
District earlier this year hiked its fees
as well to prepare for an anticipated
onslaught of development of homes
and office space near the citys train
station. Districts may increase the fees
collected from developers every two
years. The elementary school districts
in Millbrae and Redwood City charge
developers equal rates, which is the
maximum allowed by the state.
But since the state does not offer
funding commiserate with the amount
needed to build new facilities accommodating
enrollment
growth,
MacAvoy said she believes the higher
fees will be an asset for the Redwood
City Elementary School District.
The cost of buying land and or
building school facilities continues to
rise, so this additional revenue will
help with facility costs in the short
and long term, she said.
In other news at the Redwood City
meeting, Trustee Hilary Paulson transitioned to become the board president
and MacAvoy moved back to being a
trustee.

ral substances are also available on

the market.
A panel comprised of construction
consultant Ralph Caputo; landscape
architect Derek McKee; Andrew
Rowley, a representative from synthetic surface maker FieldTurf; and turf
expert David Teter will advise trustees
at the upcoming meeting on the variety of issues associated with alternative fields.
This session is primarily meant
for the board to learn from a set of
experts what the pros and cons are for
various surface types, said Baker,
though he noted the community is
invited to offer perspectives as well.
Perks associated with the artificial
surfaces include less maintenance and
higher durability than natural grass,
as well as a reduced amount of watering required, which is especially useful during a drought, some advocates
have said.
Synthetic turf has proved to be an
effective athletic field play surface ...
used on active sports fields used for
football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse
and other similar sports, according
to a report by McKee.
A previous survey of some San
Carlos school community members
showed they would prefer an artificial
surface to be installed at a campus
playground where attempts to grow

natural grass have repeatedly failed.

Contributing to the discussion
regarding playing surfaces in San
Carlos are ongoing talks regarding
the opportunity for school officials
to offer some of the districts fields
for use by community athletic organizations to address the dearth of available playing spaces. Such an agreement could result in the city or community athletic leagues taking on
some of the maintenance and installation costs associated with the surfaces.
Baker said the talks with city officials will continue, but the upcoming
discussion will be designed primarily
to educate trustees regarding the variety of field alternatives on the market.
In all, he said he anticipates the
opportunity for the community as
well as trustees to gain a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding the
debate between natural grass and artificial playing surfaces.
This is all informational at this
point. Im looking forward to learning from the expert panel weve
assembled, he said. It should be
very informative.
The San Carlos Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will meet 6
p.m. Monday, Dec. 12, in the district
office, 1200 Industrial Road.

the court within the later of either (1) four

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

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
