f you ask Kyle Vogel, owner of
Redwood Citys Woodside Deli, if
hes had a busy day, youll likely
get the same answer no matter what day
of the week it is.
Every days a busy day, he said.
Even though Vogel starts his days
early to start catering orders, many of
which are destined for offices on Sand
Hill Road, his focus is usually on the
lunchtime customers he knows will fill
the store in search of a custom-made
sandwich.
The challenge that every deli faces is

Woodside Road. He said hes determined
to provide the same dishes and ingredi-
ents that have kept customers coming
back since Dan and Barbara Galinetti
took over the deli in 1948, but is on a
mission to find a way to keep hungry
diners from having to wait too long for
their lunches. By looking closely at
online reviews and asking longtime cus-
tomers what they liked about the deli,
Vogel said a couple things about the deli
became immediately clear.
People love the sandwiches, they
love the product, he said. They hate
the line, they hate the wait.

Residents take in Caltrain changes
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
What an electrified Caltrain corridor will
look like and how updates to the tracks will
affect the number and type of trees lining
the corridor were among the questions resi-
dents had this week for transit officials as
they presented changes needed along the
stretch of the corridor running through
Redwood City and the North Fair Oaks
neighborhood in unincorporated San Mateo
County.
Though crews have already started
installing the foundations to support poles
and wires needed to power a new electric
fleet along sections of the corridor north of
Redwood City, officials hosted a communi-
ty meeting at Redwood Citys Sequoia High
School Wednesday to share a timeline for
changes planned for the southern part of the
county, which they said would begin with
tree pruning and removal by the end of the
year.
Caltrain spokesman Brent Tietjen said the
effort to upgrade and expand service along
the 51 miles of track between San Francisco
and San Jose where electrification updates
are planned is expected to reduce congestion
in an area where more and more commuters
are using Caltrain daily to travel in either
direction to their homes and jobs. To
increase service from the current five to six
trains every hour in either direction by
2021, he said Caltrain is working to replace
75 percent of its aging fleet of diesel cars,
some of which are more than 30 years old.
Its time to replace those and buy some
nice, new [electric multiple unit]s, he said.
Officials outlined a schedule to remove

and prune trees along the stretch of corridor
in the southern part of the county by spring
2018, begin work on pole foundations by
the summer and return to the section in the
fall to install poles and wires to complete
the overhead contact system expected to
power the electric trains.
Pole size
Greg Parks, a spokesman for the project,
said some 180 feet would separate poles
along the corridor, noting 130 poles in
Redwood City and 80 poles in North Fair
Oaks would be installed.
In response to questions about the poles
height, design and safety, officials con-
firmed they would be 21 feet tall and may
take on a variety of designs depending on
where they are on the corridor. Parks said
Caltrain has worked with some cities to
paint the poles to blend in with the aesthet-
ics of historic elements such as historic
train stations, but said most of them will be
white. Marty Gillman, a representative of

Man accused of beating
70-year-old woman
An East Palo Alto man accused of slapping
and punching a 70-year-old woman on two
occasions near her home in South San
Francisco pleaded not guilty to felony and
misdemeanor charges Friday, according to
the San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
On Aug. 26, Steven Green, 53, allegedly
approached the woman and slapped her in the
face while she was waiting at a bus stop,
which is on the same street where he worked
at a Dollar Tree store. Almost two months
later on Oct. 21, the man allegedly
approached her in the courtyard of her apart-
ment building on El Camino Real and
punched her in the face multiple times, caus-
ing her to fall on the ground, according to
prosecutors.
The woman, who suffered bruising and
minor injuries to her face, said she had no
idea why the beatings occurred and Green has
said he has no idea who the woman is and
denied any involvement, according to prose-
cutors.
The countys private defender program was
appointed to Greens case when he appeared
in court Friday and bail was set at $50,000.
Green remains in custody and will next
appear in court Nov. 9 for Superior Court
review conference, according to prosecutors.
Woman arrested for DUI
with children in backseat
A 33-year-old San Bruno resident was
arrested on suspicion of DUI and child
endangerment after she was pulled over late
Tuesday night with two children in the back
seat of her vehicle, according to police.
San Bruno police arrested 33-year-old
Mariana Laurian-Calderon of San Bruno near
the intersection of Angus Avenue and the El
Camino Real on Halloween night around 11
p.m. She was taken into custody and booked
into the San Mateo County Jail.
Police didnt specify if the two children
were hers and it wasnt clear if they were
picked up by relatives, parents or taken into
protective custody.
No further information was immediately
available.
Anyone with any information on the case
is asked to call police at (650) 616-7100 or
to email sbpdtipline@sanbruno.ca.gov.

Seven multitasking
guinea fowl up for adoption
A different kind of guard pet is up for adop-
tion at the Peninsula Humane Society and
SPCA in Burlingame: Seven guinea fowl.
Guinea fowl are known to be excellent guard
pets, since they are quick to sound the alarm if
strangers appear, according to Buffy Martin
Tarbox, spokeswoman for the shelter.
Not only do they act as guard pets, in an
interesting feat of multitasking, they also lay
eggs, Tarbox said.
The confusion (the official term for a group
of guinea fowl) arrived at the shelter as strays,
the spokeswoman said. The birds can be
housed in setups similar to chicken coops, she
said.
Anyone interested in meeting the guinea
fowl should call (650) 340-7022. Adoption
fees for each guinea fowl will be half off the
normal fee. Only those interested in keeping
the birds as pets will be allowed to adopt them.
They are only for people who will commit
to keeping them as pets and not to harvest
them as meat, Tarbox said.
Cost of proposed Tasers
estimated at $8M
Despite public opposition, the San
Francisco Police Department is considering
adopting Tasers, and a police commander
today noted that a city budget analyst has
pegged the cost at around $8 million.
Cmdr. Pete Walsh took questions from
reporters Friday about the proposed Tasers, in
advance of a public meeting to be held this
evening on the issue.
(San Francisco Police Chief William Scott)
states in coming from the Los Angeles Police
Department that CEDs can be an effective use
of force in situations that warrant intermediate
use of force, Walsh said during the news con-
ference.
CED is the acronym for Conducted Energy
Devices, the technical term for Tasers. The
LAPD uses Tasers, as do the police depart-
ments of most major cities in the United
States, including Richmond and Oakland.
Asked about the cost, Walsh said, We have
not nailed down a firm cost. The only cost
analysis I have seen from beginning to end
and we do have some disagreements is the
budget analysis from the Board of
Supervisors," at around $8 million.
"We believe it's lower," Walsh said.

State asks for $7.4B for
rebuilding after wildfires
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO California Gov. Jerry
Brown and lawmakers asked the U.S. govern-
ment Friday for $7.4 billion to help rebuild
after a cluster of fires tore through the heart of
wine country, killing more than 40 people
and leaving thousands without housing.
In a letter to the White House, Brown joined
Californias two U.S. senators and 39 mem-
bers of its 52-member congressional delega-
tion to urge President Donald Trump and
Congress to quickly adopt a disaster-related
appropriations measure to support the states
recovery.
Brown said the funding would go toward
cleanup and programs to support housing,
transportation, agriculture, environmental
protection and other services for those affect-
ed by the fires.

WEST SACRAMENTO Two top execu-
tives at Californias teacher pension system
are getting big bonuses worth more than
$200,000 each following strong investment
earnings.
The California State Teachers Retirement
System approved the bonuses without discus-

Weekend Nov. 4-5, 2017 5
A series of blazes that started in Northern
California the night of Oct. 8 killed at least 43
people and destroyed about 8,900 homes and
other buildings. At the peak, thousands of
firefighters battled 21 blazes that burned
simultaneously.
Officials have not yet assessed all the dam-
age and effects of the fires, but the governors
office and the affected counties determined
that $7.4 billion in federal funding is needed
to help California recover, the letter says.
The wildfires significantly damaged farm-
land, rangeland and watersheds, and more than
a third of the funding requested, $3.1 billion,
would go toward helping agricultural indus-
tries bounce back, including affected winer-
ies, California officials said.
The full economic impact to the agricultur-
al, tourism, hospitality, and wine industries is
still not known, the letter says.
Christopher Ailman.
The bonuses amount to 53.5 percent of the
base salary for each executive. Ehnes will get
just under $225,000 on top of his base salary
of $420,000. Ailmans bonus is $273,000 on
top of his $510,000 base pay.
CalSTRS is the nations second largest pub-
lic pension fund with more than $215 billion
in assets. Its investments earned 13.4 percent
last fiscal year, beating a 7 percent target.
Bonuses are based on a formula in each
executives employment contract, which con-
siders investment performance and personal
performance. Ehnes is also evaluated on long-
range strategic planning.

Republican tax bill furthers
DeVos push for school choice
By Maria Danilova
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Education Secretary
Betsy DeVos school-choice agenda is get-
ting a bit of a boost from the Republican tax
bill, which would allow parents to use educa-
tion savings accounts to pay tuition at pri-
vate elementary and secondary schools.
Yet some conservative groups favoring
school choice say the tax
bill doesnt help low-
income families.
Expanding school
choice access to char-
ter, private and other
options besides neigh-
borhood schools has
been a top priority of the
Trump administration and
Betsy DeVos DeVos, who has spent
decades working on that
front in her home state of Michigan.
But nine months into her tenure, DeVos has
yet to come forward with a major school
choice initiative, which her supporters have
been hoping for and her critics have feared.
The tax proposal, unveiled Thursday, stops
significantly short of the $20 billion
school-choice project that President Donald
Trump promised on the campaign trail.
Under the GOP bill, parents would be able
to use up to $10,000 per year from a 529 edu-
cation savings account to pay for K-12 educa-
tion; that account was previously restricted
to college tuition and expenses. At the same
time, the bill calls for phasing out the
Coverdell savings account, which offered
similar tools but capped the contributions at
$2,000 annually, and rolling it into the 529.
This is a good step forward, reflecting that
education should be an investment in individ-
ual students, not systems, DeVos said in a
statement. I look forward to continuing to
work with congressional leaders to ensure all
families have equal access to the education
that meets their childs unique needs.
The American Federation for Children, a
school choice advocacy group that DeVos
used to head, praised the idea of expanding
the 529 accounts to elementary and second-
ary schools students, but warned that low-
income families have fallen through the
cracks.
John Schilling, CEO of the group, said in a
statement that its members are concerned
about and focused on those families who do
not have 529s, typically low-income fami-
lies who arent able to put away those sav-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
ings, who are looking for more and better
educational options for their children.
Rick Hess, director of education policy at
the conservative American Enterprise
Institute, said that the change will have a
very modest impact, since a 529 savings
account is not tax-free and only exempts one
from paying taxes on the return to invest-
ment. That, he said, doesnt amount to much,
unless the account has existed for many
years.
Mike Petrilli, the president of the conser-
vative Thomas B. Fordham Institute, said the
change will benefit wealthy families who
already have money to pay for private school
and who have enough money to set aside to
make the savings account work.
It sure doesnt do much to fulfill the presi-
dents campaign promises around school
choice, Petrilli said. Its telling that they
couldnt find the money to support a program
for low-income students, but they did find a
way to give a major new benefit to affluent
parents who send their children to private
schools.
He added: The benefits can now flow to the
wealthy. It seems like a subsidy for people
that dont need it.
Hess cautioned, however, that it would be
unfair to put all the blame for making little
progress on school-choice reform solely on
DeVos, saying that with the president dis-
tracted by political controversies, she
focused on advocacy.
She has used the bully pulpit to make the
case for school choice and to bring attention
to school choice, Hess said. If DeVos had a
popular president and a focused White House
behind her, they might have been able to do
it, but thats not the world that we live in.
Experts are debating how effective DeVos
advocacy has been. While she has surely
brought the topic of school choice to the cen-
ter of national attention, some, even among
her supporters, believe that DeVos polariz-
ing presence may have alienated some fami-
lies who had previously favored school
reform. An August study by Education Next, a
journal published by Harvards Kennedy
School and Stanford University, showed that
support for opening more charter schools has
dropped significantly, but theres less oppo-
sition to expanding private school voucher
programs.
Lily Eskelsen Garcia, president of the
National Education Association, the coun-
trys largest teachers union, assailed the tax
bill, saying it benefits the wealthy and takes
away resources from public schools.

GOP revises the tax bill, Bergdahl spared prison time;
Trump: Sentence a disgrace
makes it less generous
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON House Republicans on
Friday quietly made changes to their far-
reaching tax overhaul: Now its tax cuts
would be less generous for many Americans.
A day after the GOP unveiled its plan
promising middle-class relief, the Houses
top tax-writer, Rep.
Kevin Brady, released a
revised version of the
bill that would impose a
new, lower-inflation
chained CPI adjustment
for tax brackets immedi-
ately instead of in 2023.
That means more income
would be taxed at higher
Kevin Brady rates over time and
less generous tax cuts for
individuals and families.
The change, posted on the website of the
Ways and Means Committee, reduces the
value of the tax cuts for ordinary Americans
by $89 billion over 10 years compared with
the legislation released with fanfare
Thursday.
As wages rise, middle-class taxpayers
would have more of their income taxed at the
25 percent rate instead of at 12 percent, for
instance.
The bills like a dead fish: The more it
hangs out in the sunlight, the stinkier it
gets, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck
Schumer pronounced after word of Bradys
change. The more people learn about this
bill, the less theyre going to like it.
The change to the plan frees up money for
Brady, R-Texas, the committees chairman,
to use to address concerns by lawmakers
when changing the bill further next week.
What to know about tax plan if you have kids
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
American families may find themselves
confused by the GOP tax proposal unveiled
this week. Proponents say they win, critics
say they lose and much of it may change when
and if it becomes law.
So what should you know if you have kids?
The exact impact on your tax bill is going
to be highly variable based on your income,
family size and where you live, much like cur-
rent law.
There are provisions that may benefit some
families: the standard deduction and the child
tax credit are increased. The plan also creates
a new family credit.
President Donald Trump and a number of
Republican leaders say that the bill provides
numerous family-focused benefits, especially
for low and middle-income families.
But many tax experts say the gains for these
families are offset by other proposed
changes. For instance, key deductions for
state income taxes, student loan interest and
medical expenses would go away. And some
perks are only temporary.
Among the most notable changes in the
plan is the near doubling of the standard
deduction to $24,000 for families from
$12,700. That helps some middle class fami-
lies whose personal deductions wouldnt be
greater than that. But other deductions and
exemptions that adjusted the burden for fami-
lies facing other financial pressures are disap-
pearing.
AFFORDABLE
HEALTH INSURANCE
Barrett Insurance is proud to celebrate our 30th Anniversary
NATION
The Ways and Means panel begins work on
Monday, a final bill-writing process
expected to take four days.
Brady on Friday called it a challenge of a
lifetime legislatively.
President Donald Trump and the
Republicans are driving to push through a
major tax-cutting bill this year to secure a
legislative accomplishment, following
their stinging failure to overturn and replace
the Obama health care law. The
Republicans, facing increasing pressure to
produce a marquee legislative victory before
next years elections, are promoting their
tax plan as a spark for economic growth and
a boon to the stressed middle class.
Brady, in a statement releasing the revised
bill, stressed pro-growth tax reform that
will deliver more jobs, fairer taxes, and big-
ger paychecks for people across our coun-
try.
While Trump and House Republican lead-
ers stand united behind the plan, rank-and-
file GOP lawmakers are divided and com-
plaining about its potential blow to home-
owners and the loss of a prized deduction
that especially hits high-tax states.
And Trump is pressuring Republicans to
repeal a health-care law penalty in the tax
rewrite, a step that Brady indicated is polit-
ically problematic. Some of the GOP law-
makers agree.
Brady said Friday the president had spo-
ken to him twice by phone and once in per-
son, imploring him to scrap the so-called
individual mandate that requires Americans
to obtain health insurance or face a penalty.
The president feels quite strongly about
including this at some step, Brady said in
an interview with Politico.
Another big selling point is that the plan
increases the child tax credit from $1,000 to
$1,600, which taxpayers can claim for chil-
dren under the age of 17. The House says this
increase was intended to help parents with the
cost of raising children. More people will be
eligible to claim the credit because the income
level at which it phases out is being raised.
However, the first $1,000 is refundable but
the extra $600 is not. If its refundable, once
your tax liability hits zero, you get a check
for the balance. So that increase does little for
low-income families because they have little
to no tax liability.
The bill also establishes a $300 family
credit for each parent and non-child depend-
ent, such as an adult child with a disability or
a family member under your care. This too has
its limits its only effective for five years
and its not refundable.
But the biggest problem for many families
could be the repeal of the personal exemp-
tion.
Currently, taxpayers can claim a $4,050
personal exemption for themselves, their
spouse and each dependent. That will no
longer exist if this proposal moves forward.
So even with the new benefits for families,
some larger families may end up paying more
The bill is long and its terms complex, so
many are still reviewing the full impact. But
most critics and tax experts agree any gains
for low to middle income families pale in
comparison to those for corporations and
wealthy families.

Trump could fire Sessions if
DOJ doesnt go after Dems
THE ASSOCAITED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said he is dis-
appointed with the Justice Department and wont rule out
firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, if Sessions wont
investigate Democrats.
Honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats,
Trump told reporters before departing the White House on a
12-day trip to Asia.
The presidents comments came after he tweeted several
times Friday morning to criticize his for-
mer 2016 rival Hillary Clinton and the
Democratic National Committee:
Crooked Hillary bought the DNC & then
stole the Democratic Primary from Crazy
Bernie!, he wrote, adding its the real
story on Collusion.
Asked if he would fire Sessions if DOJ
doesnt focus its investigative powers on
Democrats, Trump said, I dont know.
Jeff Sessions Trump continued: A lot of people are
disappointed in the Justice Department,
including me.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating allega-
tions of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. This week,
former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his
business associate Rick Gates, who also had a role in the
campaign, were indicted on 12 counts, and former Trump
campaign adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to
lying about his dealings with Russians were offering dirt
on Hillary Clinton.
The White House has repeatedly sought to turn the atten-
tion of the probe, which is looking into potential collusion
between the Trump campaign and the Russian government,
to Clinton and her campaign.
Earlier Friday, Trump said the American public deserves
a federal investigation of Clinton and the DNC over a joint
fundraising agreement they signed in August 2015.
Trumps accusations follow publication by Politico of an
excerpt from former acting DNC Chair Donna Braziles
upcoming book. Brazile alleges she found proof that the
2016 Democratic primary was rigged in Clintons favor.
Brazile writes that she believes no laws were violated, but
that a fundraising agreement looked unethical.
Late Thursday, Trump tweeted without evidence that he
believed Democrats had acted illegally.
The fundraising agreement Brazile wrote about, which was
signed in August 2015 during the primary process, was
unusual in a presidential race with no incumbent, according
to Brazile, gave the Clinton campaign oversight of some
DNC decisions. Months later, Clintons chief challenger,
independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, signed his own agreement
with the party.

Plenty on Trumps plate
as he prepares for Asia
By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump is being pulled
in different directions as he heads to Asia on a grueling 12-day
trip.
The presidents loyal supporters are eager to hear him take a
hard line on the Chinese trade and economic practices he
railed against as a candidate. But many in
his administration are pushing Trump to
sweep those concerns aside as he works to
pressure Chinas Xi Jinping to tighten the been preparing for the trip by reading briefing materials
screws on North Korea.
At the same time, much of the presi-
dents attention has been occupied by
urgent matters at home, including indict-
ments against two top campaign aides, the
deepening Russia investigation and a
Donald Trump high-stakes fight over his tax plan. By
the admission of his own chief of staff,
Trump has been distracted as also demonstrated by the flur-
ry of tweets he unleashed Friday before departing Washington
and continued from aboard Air Force One. In 14 tweets over
six hours, the president dug deep into intrigue surrounding
Hillary Clinton and the 2016 presidential race and other
issues, with just one tweet devoted to his trip.
Even before the latest news, concerns abounded over how
the president, a homebody who dislikes long stretches on the
road, would fare during a marathon trip that will take him to
five counties in 12 days.
There were always questions as to what the end of the trip
would look like. Would he become distracted? said Mireya
Solis, a senior fellow at the Brookings Center for East Asia
Policy Studies. Now I think the question has shifted: Is he
going to be distracted from the get-go? Are the domestic polit-
ical problems going to be first and foremost on his mind?
Female lawmakers allege harassment
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON For GOP Rep. Mary Bono, the suggestive
comments wouldnt stop from one male colleague. He even
approached her on the House floor to tell her hed been think-
ing about her in the shower, she says.
Bono, who served 15 years before being defeated in 2012, is
not alone.
As reports flow out almost daily of harassment or worse by
men in entertainment, business and the media, one current and
three former female lawmakers tell the Associated Press they,
too, have been harassed or subjected to hostile sexual com-
ments by fellow members of Congress.
The revelations Friday prompted renewed calls for Congress
to tighten its training and reporting procedures. House
Speaker Paul Ryan sent a memo to fellow lawmakers encour-
aging them to complete sexual harassment training and man-
date it for their staffs, telling them, Harassment has no place
in this institution.
The incidents described by the four lawmakers occurred years
or even decades ago, usually when the women were young new-
comers to Congress. They range from isolated comments at
one hearing, to repeated unwanted come-ons, to lewd remarks
and even groping on the House floor. Coming amid an inten-
sifying national focus on sexual harassment and gender hos-
tility in the workplace, the revelations underscore that no
woman is immune, even at the highest reaches of government.
This is about power, said former California Sen. Barbara
Boxer, after describing an incident at a hearing in the 1980s
where a male colleague made a sexually suggestive comment
about her from the dais, which was met with general laughter
THE DAILY JOURNAL
The administration projected confidence as it scrambled to
lock down Trumps itinerary, describing the president as well-
versed in the region and familiar with its leaders. National
security adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters Thursday that
Trump had placed 43 calls to Indo-Pacific leaders as president
and met with the heads of Japan, South Korea, China and
Vietnam, among others in the region some several times.
Trump has also worked to develop close personal relation-
ships with Xi and Shinzo Abe of Japan ties he hopes will
pay dividends.
Two senior administration officials said the president had
with lots of the maps, graphs and charts, one said and hold-
ing conversations with key aides and Cabinet members,
including McMaster, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, U.S. Trade Representative
Robert Lighthizer, and senior National Security Council staff.
One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
like others, to discuss the presidents private preparations,
said the president was also in close touch with his large net-
work of business contacts.
Still, the lead-up has felt frantic. Less than an hour before
liftoff, Trump announced to reporters that he would be chang-
ing his schedule and tacking on an extra day to attend a sum-
mit that hed been criticized for skipping.
Ryan Hass, who served on President Barack Obamas
National Security Council, said that past presidents had their
Asia trips preceded by six months of legwork really hard,
intensive engagement in the region by Cabinet and sub-
Cabinet-level officials to tee up deliverables. ... That has not
occurred in this instance.
Part of the problem, according to some observers, is that
Trump has yet to fill a number of top Asia positions in his
administration, including finding his own pick to take over as
assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs,
and naming a new ambassador to South Korea.
and an approving second from the committee chairman. Its
hostile and embarrasses, and therefore could take away a per-
sons power.
Boxer and the other female lawmakers spoke on the record to
tell their stories following revelations about Hollywood pro-
ducer Harvey Weinsteins serial attacks on women, as well as
disclosures from current and former Capitol Hill staffers about
harassment by lawmakers and aides.
Largely untold before now is that some female lawmakers
themselves say they have been harassed by male colleagues.
While rare, the accounts raise troubling questions about the
boys club environment on Capitol Hill where male lawmak-
ers can feel empowered to target not only staffers but even
their own peers.
The lawmakers declined to identify the perpetrators by
name, but at least two of the men continue to serve in the
House. None of the female lawmakers interviewed reported the
incidents some noted it was not clear where to lodge such a
complaint.
When I was a very new member of Congress in my early
30s, there was a more senior member who outright proposi-
tioned me, who was married, and despite trying to laugh it off
and brush it aside, it would repeat. And I would avoid that mem-
ber, said Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif. She added that she
would warn other new female members about the lawmaker in
question, but she declined to identify him, while saying he
remains in Congress.
Sanchez also said that a different male colleague repeatedly
ogled her, and at one point touched her inappropriately on the
House floor. She declined to identify the lawmaker but said he
was no longer in Congress.

MOGADISHU, Somalia The U.S. mili-
tary for the first time has conducted two
airstrikes against Islamic State group fighters
in Somalia, where the group is a growing pres-
ence in a country long threatened by the al-
Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab.
The U.S. Africa Command said the two drone
strikes killed several terrorists in northeast-
ern Somalia, with the first around midnight
local time and the second later Friday morn-
ing. The U.S. said the strikes were carried out
in coordination with Somalias government.
Local officials confirmed the strikes. At
least six missiles struck in Buqa, a remote
mountainous village roughly 60 kilometers
(37 miles) north of Qandala town in the north-
ern state of Puntland, a Somali security official
told The Associated Press.
The airstrike may have targeted top leaders
of the group, the official said, speaking on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak to the media.
The mayor of Qandala, Jama Mohamed, said
the strikes sent terrified nomadic villagers and

gering concerns that a proxy showdown
could ensue between the two sides.

Hirings jump, 261K jobs added 35 states and DC back bid

By Christopher Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON U.S. employers added a
solid 261,000 jobs in October in a bounce-
back from the hurricanes that slammed the
Southeast in September.
The unemployment rate declined to 4.1
percent, the lowest in nearly 17 years, from
4. 2 percent in September, the Labor
Department said Friday. But the drop in the
rate occurred mostly because many people
stopped looking for work and so were no
longer counted as unemployed.
Octobers burst of hiring largely reflects a
rebound from the hurricanes that temporari-
ly depressed job gains in September. But it
also shows that for all their fury, the storms
didnt knock the economy or the job market
off course. Over the past three months, job
growth has averaged 162,000, similar to the
pace of hiring before the hurricanes.
Hiring got a boost from the post-hurri-
cane rebound, but the underlying trend
remained steady, said Jed Kolko, chief
economist at Indeed, a job-search website.
In part because of the durability of the job
market, the Federal Reserve is likely on
track to raise its short-term interest rate in
December. That could lead to slightly high-
er mortgage rates and other borrowing costs
over time.
At the same time, Republicans in
Congress proposed tax cuts Thursday that
they say would fuel faster economic growth
and job gains. That might be hard to achieve
with unemployment already so low. Many
employers already complain that they cant
find the workers they need.
Because the tax proposals would also
swell the budget deficit by $1.5 trillion over
a decade, the tax cuts might also be tempo-
rary. Tax experts generally say that perma-
nent tax cuts are more likely to bolster the
economy than are tax cuts that expire.
When the Penn Wharton Budget Model
examined a similar plan, it found that tax
cuts would increase economic growth by
0.13 percent annually for a decade. That is a
far cry from President Donald Trumps
claims that he could lift annual growth by a
full percentage point on a sustained basis.
The proportion of adults who are either
working or looking for work fell last month
to 62.7 percent, slightly lower than a year
ago. That drop suggests that there arent
many people on the sidelines who want
jobs.
Despite a shortfall of workers, average
hourly pay rose just 2.4 percent from a year
ago, nearly one-half percentage point lower
than Septembers annual gain. That figure
might have been distorted by the storms:
Many lower-paid workers at restaurants and
bars returned to work last month, and their
influx could have depressed overall pay.
to collect online sales taxes
By James Nord
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Thirty-five state
attorneys general and the District of
Columbia this week signed on to support
South Dakotas legal bid to collect sales
taxes from out-of-state internet retailers.
South Dakota is asking the U.S. Supreme
Court to review whether retailers can be
required to collect sales taxes in states
where they lack a physical presence. The
case could have national implications for e-
commerce.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty
Jackley said in a statement Thursday that
Colorado filed a friend-of-the-court brief
supporting South Dakotas petition to the
high court. The state is seeking to overturn
legal rulings issued mostly before the
online shopping boom that hamstring offi-
cials who want to collect sales taxes from
out-of-state retailers.
South Dakota is leading the national
fight to bring tax fairness for our local
retailers and to help support main street
businesses, Jackley said.
The support includes neighboring Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and
Wyoming. The other states are: Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida,
Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi,
New Mexico, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont,
Washington and Wisconsin.
The brief says the jurisdictions all rely on
consumption taxes to fund essential gov-
ernment operations.
States have pushed Congress to address
the issue without success, and one estimate
put the loss to states at roughly $26 billion
in 2015. South Dakota estimates it loses
about $50 million annually to e-commerce.
The problem with the physical-presence
rule is that it was first conceived of in 1967,
two years before the moon landing and
decades before the first retail transaction
occurred over the Internet, according to the
brief.
Some companies such as Amazon have
decided to collect state sales taxes despite
the precedent.
South Dakota legislators passed a law last
year requiring collection of the tax. The law
was struck down in September by the state
Supreme Court due to precedent. The state
had welcomed the defeat so it could try to
get the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the
case.

Arrogate, Gun Runner square off in $6M Breeders Cup Classic

DEL MAR Arrogate and Gun Runner
square off again in the $6 million Classic on
Saturday, the marquee event on the second day
of the Breeders Cup, which is being run for the
first-time at Del Mar.
The 13-race, season-ending championships
started with four races Friday. Nine more will
be run on Day 2.
The event culminates with the Classic, the

WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder is
set to face Bermane Stiverne Saturday night.
Wilder glipses
past Stiverne
at unification
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Deontay Wilder is steamed.
And drained. And very, very eager.
All of those descriptions are delivered by
the WBC heavyweight champion himself as
he prepares to fight Bermane Stiverne on
Saturday night at Barclays Center.
Wilder is 38-0 with 37 knockouts. The only
opponent who went the distance with him is
Stiverne, whom Wilder
outpointed for the belt in
2015. Since, Wilder has
stopped five others in
defense of the title, but the
fact that Stiverne was
standing at the end of their
previous bout has the
champ steamed.
Bermane
Stiverne
Add that Stiverne has
claimed many times he
was not at peak health for
that fight, and Wilder shakes his head in dis-
gust.
Stiverne was the only man to survive the
Alabama Slammer and avoid a knockout,
the 32-year-old native of Tuscaloosa says.
When I knock him out, then nobody will be
able to say they made it through against me.
He was nothing but a lot of lumps and excuses
after the first fight.
Stiverne, naturally, disagrees.
He already gave me his best, says Stiverne
(25-2-1, 20 KOs), who turned 39 on
Wednesday and hasnt fought in two years. He
is stepping in for Luis Ortiz, who was disqual-
ified by the sanctioning body when he had a
positive drug test.
I had nothing last fight. But now Im a very
dangerous man. Everyone here knows what
time it is. Deontay Wilder has been trying to
duck me. Hes been giving a lot of excuses
about my career. He should be happy if Ive
been inactive. He should be jumping in the air.
Everyone knows that means hes scared.
Rather than scared, Wilder sounds weary. He
notes that the entire promotion of this fight
has been on his shoulders. Hes crisscrossed
the country drumming up interest, and hes
ready to finish his business for 2017 and get
on with unification next year.

Curry puzzled over mention in GOP tax talking points

Stephen Curry and the pass-through busi-
ness income of Steves Bike Shop.
Curry learned about his place in the plan
Thursday and had a question. I wonder if
Steves Bike Shop is hiring, Curry tweeted.
Curry was the first NBA player to sign a
super-max contract in July following a
restructuring of the leagues collective bar-
gaining agreement. Perhaps thats why he
was named an example for individual wage
income.
In fact, the tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee and its chairman, Rep. Kevin
Brady, R-Texas, have mentioned famous
people to explain the impact of tax policy
on real people on several occasions.
A committee blog post in August refer-
enced Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and
in a speech in February, the chairman men-

have traditionally visited the president, but

same traits that led to Harbaughs departure.
Then theres been the quarterback situation.
Since that Super Bowl defeat, Colin
Kaepernicks regression took him from a QB
who looked as if he could be a star to being
benched for Blaine Gabbert in 2015. He
played better last year, when he also was
kneeling in protest during the national
anthem. His contract was expiring unless the
Niners picked up an expensive option, and
with the team seeking a new direction at the
position, he wasnt coming back.
Journeyman Brian Hoyer got the gig, lasted
just over six losses, and third-round pick C.J.
Beathard was elevated. This week, San
Francisco made a bold move by dealing a
2018 second-round selection that could be
quite valuable to New England for the
unproven but highly regarded Jimmy
Garappolo.
An unbelievable opportunity came our way
in the midst of what has really been a tough
season, said GM John Lynch, himself some-
thing of a reach as a hire because he had gone
from player to broadcaster and lacked front-
office experience. Where we are right now is
not fun. ...
Is that going to fix all our ills? Absolutely
not. We had the opportunity to get better as an
organization and we took advantage of that.
So much more is needed.
The draft has been a wasteland for the 49ers.
Former GM Trent Baalkes refusal to draft skill
position players from 2013-16 the only
skilled position choices in the first three
rounds were RB Carlos Hyde and TE Vance
McDonald was damaging. Since 2012, the
included a slew of injuries, and the Niners
dont have the depth to handle it. They need to
mature, as a bunch of close losses displays.
Compared to the Browns, though, the 49ers
are an oasis.
Cleveland has opened 0-8 for the second
straight season. Its not unprecedented the
Buccaneers lost their first 26, but they were an
expansion team.
So were the Browns, back in 1999. Their
record since is 88-208. They made the play-
offs once, in 2002, and made a quick exit.
Unlike the 49ers history in the Super Bowl
era, the Browns have nothing to brag about
since the originals moved to Baltimore and
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue made sure
Cleveland got another franchise.
No coach has a winning record for the new
Browns. The best was Butch Davis at 24-36.
Hue Jackson certainly doesnt come close,
currently at 1-23. Considering Jackson went
8-8 in his one year as Raiders coach, also with
a mess of a roster, maybe it isnt him so much
as the losing culture in Cleveland.
This is another team that cant solve its
quarterbacking woes, but on a scale of 1 to 10,
they have flopped at minus-28 the number
of starters Cleveland has had behind center.
So, will either team emulate the 2008 Lions
and go 0-16?
The Niners seem to have winnable
matchups the next two weeks, hosting injury-
ravaged Arizona and the tumult-filled Giants.
The Browns dont have anyone who looks
like a potential victim ahead, though trips to
Detroit, Cincinnati, the Chargers half-stadi-
um (NFL wise) and Chicago dont look terrify-
ing.
Then again, both of these squads are 0-8 on
merit.

Cal set to face Oregon State in home finale
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERKELEY California first-year coach
Justin Wilcox spent much of the season talk-
ing about the parity in the Pac-12, a point
the Golden Bears seemed to take to heart
when they upset then-No. 8 Washington
State last month.
Since then, things have gone south for
Wilcoxs team.
Cal (4-5, 1-5) has lost two straight and
heads into Saturdays home finale against
Oregon State with little margin for error as it
attempts to become bowl eligible for the sec-
ond time since 2011.
Like the Bears, the Beavers (1-7, 0-5) have
also struggled in conference play but have
played much better in two games since Cory
Hall was named interim coach following
Gary Andersens abrupt departure in October.
Oregon State, which lost five of its first
six games by an average of 31.5 points, has
dropped its last two by four points total. That
includes a 15-14 defeat to Stanford on Oct.
26 when the Beavers gave up a touchdown
with 20 seconds remaining.
Wilcox said Oregon States turnaround
under Hall is indicative of the balance of
power and talent in the Pac-12. The Beavers
have won seven of the last 10 games overall
between the two teams and six of the past
seven at Memorial Stadium.
Theyve done a really good job two weeks
in a row, Wilcox said. Theyre playing Stanford, a group of players started the social

challenge for us. Like a lot of the teams in

half, the Cap defense forced a three-and-out, then blocked a
punt with senior Nishant Prasad coming up with the loose
ball in the end zone.
Then on the last play from scrimmage of the half, Kefu took
the ball on fourth-and-13 and rumbled 15 yards for a first
down. With the clock ticking down, Rodriguez and the kicking
unit got onto the field just in time for him to boot a 31-yarder,
giving the Mustangs a 34-0 lead at the half.
In the second half, Cap added scores on a 4-yard run by Kefu,
a 4-yard run by senior RJ Nobe, and a 5-yard sweep by senior
Abnan Grajeda. The Mustangs looked to have another score in
the closing seconds when Elijah Acacio intercepted a
Domomnic Piefer pass Mills fourth turnover of the game
and returned it 80 yards for an apparent score; but Cap was
levied with a yellow flag as most of the sideline flooded the
field before Acacio reached the end zone, nullifying the TD.
With a running clock in effect throughout the fourth quarter,
Acacios pick was the final play of the night.
Cap lineman Reyes Dianos-Marquez played an inspired game
both sides of the ball. He had a number of tackles for losses off
his defensive end spot, and had several big blocks for Kefu and
brother Jean-Paul Kefu (eight carries for 73 yards).
Our goal was to hold them to zero again, Dianos-Marquez
said. To hold them two years in a row.
Mills (1-3, 3-6) went down swinging though. The Vikings
tried for a trick play on their final possession, with sopho-
more running back Nuku Vahai airing out an option pass to
Killigrew for an 18-yard pickup. But Cap was able to collapse
Mills offensive line consistently throughout.
We just didnt get off the blocks, Mills head coach Mike
Dozier said. We struggled blocking, no gap integrity. Weve
got to get better at that.
Mills has seen flashes of greatness this season from its big
three in the backfield. Cap keyed on senior Sione Langi effec-
tively Friday, but he, along with Killigrew and Christian Sael
have all had senior moments to remember throughout the year.

Student-athletes
taking caffeine
for performance

withdrawal.
Caffeine is a drug, but caffeine is not ille-
gal. About 90 percent of America consumes
caffeine in some form every day, whether
its coffee, soda, energy drinks or other
substances (Villanova University).
Caffeine is Americas most popular drug
and, in moderate amounts, caffeine is rela-
tively safe.
In concentrated spikes, however, which
is how current high school athletes are tak-
ing the performance-
enhancer, it could be
considered less so.
The International
Association of Athletics
Federation became the
first international sports
federation to set a rule
against doping by ath-
letes in 1928, and, since
then, policies have been adapted from the
Olympics, the Tour de France and Major
League Baseball, to high school, college
and club sports competitions to prevent
athletes from doping, going on steroids
and using other performance enhancers.
In the California Education Code, Section
49030-49034, Article 6.5, performance-
enhancing drugs are prohibited amongst
students. However, caffeine is not one of
those prohibited substances, although it is
on the World Anti-Doping Agency monitor-
ing list and may actually enhance perform-
ance.
Student-athletes in particular like the caf-
feine boost because they say it gives the
adrenaline a little spike; its a perceived
rush and a quick way to heighten the inten-
sity of the game.
They use workout drinks, gel pods, pills,
energy shots and, in more extreme cases, From a country-bumpkin bartender in the smash 1980s sitcom Cheers, to going full prostetics as the star of Rob Reiners upcoming LBJ,

Sam Smiths Thrill of It All a thrill indeed

By Mesfin Fekadu
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK When Sam Smith
debuted on the music scene in
2014, he sang beautiful and sear-
ing songs about love lapses and
loneliness. There are moments
youd feel sad for him, but then
youd remind yourself not to pity
the guy too much, because, wow,
he has THAT VOICE.
On his sophomore album, hes
still singing emotional songs, but
his growth is evident. And perfect-
ly executed.
The Thrill of It All is simply
that a thrill as Smiths piec-
ing voice and vivid lyrics tell sto-
ries about his relationships and
experiences over the last three
years the good, the bad, the sad
and more.
Burning, which hits straight
to the heart, is one of the brightest
spots on the album, as Smith
sings about the after effects once a
relationship has ended.
Ive been burning/Yes Ive tone, followed by a choir again
been burning/Such a burden/This
flame on my chest, he sings on
the piano tune, where a choir or
layered vocals later comes in,
bringing on a chilling feel.
Another highlight is HIM,
where Smith sounds powerful and
most confident.
Dont you try and tell me that
God doesnt care for us/It is him I

A Bad Moms Christmas tastes like a stale chestnut
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In that old Christmas stalwart Love
Actually, the wonderful Bill Nighy plays an
aging rock star angling for an easy payday
by cynically subbing the word Christmas
into one of his hits, and re-recording it.
And now we have A Bad Moms
Christmas.
Need we say more? Not really, but that
would ignore the contributions of several
gifted actresses in what otherwise feels like
a stale old chestnut. These three talented
women do not play the moms of the title, but
the moms of the moms, and they have a
boatload of statuettes among them if not
an EGOT (probably no Grammy, alas) then
an EOT or something. They are Susan
Sarandon, Cheryl Hines, and the divine
Christine Baranski, and they make this
movie worth watching, even when the dia-
logue is utterly cringe-worthy.
And oh, it is. Oh my (expletive) God it
is, to quote a sweet, dirty-mouthed child in
the film.
By the way: has anyone noticed that we
have a Christmas movie in theaters while
the leftover Halloween candy is still perfect-
ly fresh? Whatll we get in December, A Bad

Moms Christmas, written and directed by
the original team of Jon Lucas and Scott
Moore, has bigger problems.
In last years original, a surprise hit, there
was a relatable rallying cry against the
impossible image of perfect momhood. Now
the rallying cry is Take Back Christmas.
And the answer for our moms Amy, Kiki and
Carla (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn
Hahn) seems to be: Get drunk at the mall,

We begin with Amy (Kunis), sitting in a
dejected stupor after a Christmas party gone

even a camel wanders by, though were in
suburban Chicago. I ruined Christmas, she
says. I feel like the worst mom in the
world.
Flashback to five days earlier, and the
early arrival of the bad grandmoms. Each has
her own, shall we say, exaggerated quirk. For
Kikis mom (Hines), its an extremely
unhealthy attachment to her daughter (she
wears sweaters emblazoned with pictures of
her, for starters.) Carlas mom (Sarandon) is
a pot-smoking hipster in a black leather
jacket (Sarandon could do this part with her
eyes closed, and you wonder if perhaps she
wanted to.)

Ruth like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she
explains who creates the central drama,
with her insistence that Christmas be per-
fect. Amy this is Christmas, its the BIG
SHOW, she says.
As for Carlas mom, Isis like the terror
group, she explains, in what will seem a
sorely unfortunate joke to many shes in
need of money, as usual. And she might just
be taking advantage of Carla, a single mom
who works giving waxes in a salon.
Feeling tense, the younger moms meet up
at the mall, where they take out their frustra-
tions on that poor Santa we mentioned. In a
montage. This movie likes montages. There
are lots. One takes place at a local Sky Zone
trampoline park, in what seems like a very
long bit of product placement.
Its all leading up to Christmas Eve, and
the showdown between Amy and her mother
that we know is coming. Along the way,
well meet a few appealing characters in
cameos. The best is Justin Hartley (This Is
Us), doing what he can with a pretty gross
scene in the waxing salon. And he rocks the
closing credits.
But its Baranski who steals the show.
Watch her apologize, painfully: For the
tiny fraction of blame that falls on me, I am
sorry.
Dont blame her or any of the actors
for the lame script. Its not even a tiny frac-
tion their fault.

NYPD building rape case
against Harvey Weinstein
By Colleen Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK New York City police said Friday that an
actress rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein are cred-
ible, and if the movie mogul were in the state and the accu-
sation more recent, they would move to arrest him immedi-
ately.
Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said investigators have
interviewed actress Paz de la Huerta. She has publicly
accused Weinstein of raping her twice in her apartment in
2010 and called police about it on Oct. 26.
Boyce said detectives found the Boardwalk Empire
actress story believable and that two
people corroborated portions of her
account. They have subpoenaed people
in the case.
If this person was still in New York,
and it was recent, wed go right away and
make the arrest. No doubt, Boyce said of
Weinstein. But were talking about a 7-
year-old case. And we have to move for-

they met, where this happened and what he did, he said.
An email message sent to Weinstein representative Sallie
Hofmeister was not immediately returned. Weinstein, 65,
has previously denied all allegations of non-consensual
sex.
The investigation comes a month after The New York
Times published an expose of sexual harassment allega-
tions against Weinstein, leading to his firing from the com-
pany he co-founded and his expulsion from the organiza-
tion that bestows the Academy Awards. Since then, dozens
of women have come forward to tell similar tales of harass-
ment or assault.
Investigators in London and California were also looking
into allegations made by women, but no other department
has suggested allegations could result in criminal charges.
New York doesnt have a statute of limitations on rape.
De la Huerta told CBS News that the first rape occurred in
October 2010 after Weinstein gave her a ride home from a
party, insisted on having a drink in her apartment and
forced himself on her. She said the second rape occurred in
December 2010 after Weinstein showed up at her apartment.
She had been drinking and was not in a condition to give
consent, CBS reported the actress said.
Police said she didnt come forward earlier because she
was afraid of damaging her career and wasnt sure anyone
would believe the allegations against such a powerful
Hollywood player.
Weinstein has an apartment and had an office for his pro-
duction company in New York City, but his exact where-

crew capable of extracting the three arrived, Schapelhouman said.
The Menlo Park Fire Protection District announced the teens
were close friends, two of whom were members of the volunteer
Fire Explorer Post 109 and planning a future in firefighting.
Rudy Torres, master mechanic whos been with the district for 14
years, was one of the fathers who went searching for his son in
the early morning hours of Nov. 1.
The younger Torres had driven the trio in his 2010 Hyundai to
Half Moon Bay Oct. 31 to look at a vehicle Gonzales was inter-
ested in buying. When they didnt return home the following day,
Rudy Torres, Rickys dad; Gary Cruz, Matthews father; and Jason
Perez, Andrews older brother; realized something was wrong,
according to the district.
They set off in Torres fire vehicle equipped with emergency
radios after locating one of the boys phones along Skyline
Boulevard around 6 a.m. They notified the Sheriffs Office then
asked the fire district for help mounting a search and rescue mis-
sion. Two fire chief officers deployed with a drone while another
went to the Torres home to check on his wife and younger son.
The group met with sheriffs deputies at Alices Restaurant around
7:15 a.m. then headed south on Skyline Boulevard for about two
miles, according to the district.
LOCAL/STATE
It was pretty tragic, you had three young
males that died as a result of the accident,
then you had representatives from all of the
families there at the scene. It was a tragic
scene and very emotional.
Robert Foucrault, San Mateo County coroner
Deputies then used equipment to pinpoint exactly where the
wreckage was after triangulating information from cellphone
towers, said Sheriffs Detective Sal Zuno. Just south of Bear
Gulch Road, a deputy spotted skid marks on the road near where
software used by Cruz and Perez had initially indicated at least one
of the boys cellphones was nearby, according to the district.
Perez spotted the car first, about 50 feet down the embankment
and the three men ran down the ridge hoping to find the young
men alive. Instead, they found the car upright on its wheels with
the roof completely crushed. The three young men were still
inside, seatbelts fastened and deceased, according to the district.
The two fathers and older brother held an emotional vigil by
the vehicle as more responders headed to the scene. Crews from
Cal Fire, San Mateo County and Woodside Fire as well as the
Menlo Park district came. The California Highway Patrol sent its
multi-disciplinary accident investigation team to review the
major and complex scene, said CHP Officer Art Montiel.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said being at the

scene was a somber experience.
It was pretty tragic, you had three young males that died as a
result of the accident, then you had representatives from all of the
families there at the scene, Foucrault said. It was a tragic scene
and very emotional.
The family members were then asked to leave the area to give
law enforcement an opportunity to conduct their investigation
and firefighters a chance to bring in equipment before beginning
the 45-minute extrication of the young men, according to the dis-
trict.
The Coroners Office then allowed Perez, Cruz and Torres
another moment with their loved ones at the scene, according to
the district.
The three all graduated last year from Menlo-Atherton High
School and were all described as good kids with bright futures,
Schapelhouman said.
Ricky Torres grew up around fire service but it was his best
friend Andrew Gonzales who convinced him to join the Fire
Explorer Post more than a year ago. The younger Torres was just
about to begin his own career having been accepted to the South
Bay College Fire Academy and was working part time at the local
fire districts fleet services for work experience, Schapelhouman
said.
Gonzales spent a lot of time with the Torres family and his
mother Shelly said her son was an old soul who worked two
jobs and was always smiling. Cruz was interested in computer
programming and his father said Matthew loved his friends and
taking care of others. Schapelhouman said the Torreses are an
important part of the districts fire family and all are mourning
their loss.
Montiel said CHP investigators are working to try and provide
the family with answers. He cautioned about jumping to conclu-
sions following a report and video of several cars speeding
Halloween evening about 10 miles south from the area where the
young men were found. CHPs accident unit is continuing its
investigation and it could be several months before a report is
finalized, Montiel said.
Foucrault said the Coroners Office is still working to deter-
mine cause of death and complete toxicology reports that are
standard in the case of fatal vehicle collisions.
Anyone with information is asked to contact CHP Officer
Brian Wester at (650) 369-6261.

Kensington Road and Maddux Drive and a

For Goodman, having face-to-face interac-

she has seen lead to lasting relationships.

Along with the fact that many of the

several restaurants, a pet store, a pharmacy
and even a post office in and around the
Woodside Plaza Shopping Center at

Goodman said many residents find they

For resident Karen Harvey, who said she

the convenience of living close to busi-

walking in her neighborhood are just some
of the elements that have kept her there.
Its a great area to live in for proximity,
she said, adding she is able to access gro-

At the councils Oct. 2 meeting, Mayor
John Seybert recognized Nelsons efforts

and commended him for his community to

Doing the neighborhood association
was just something really wonderful I
think I would recommend it to just about
anybody, Nelson said at the Oct. 2 meet-
ing, adding that seeing residents come
together at Halloween-themed and many
other events the neighborhood put on con-
tributed to the sense of belonging that drew
him and his family to the neighborhood in
1992. I think you really start to see people
blossom.
Bain said the neighborhoods ability to
convene its residents is something the
council hopes will spread to other neigh-

In many ways, the community-building

and would cap the property tax deduction at
$10,000.
James Ledoux, a computer programmer
who lives in South Orange with his veteri-
narian wife and their toddler and is expecting
a second child, said he now has $46,000 in
itemized deductions around $19,500 from
property taxes, $7,000 in state income
taxes and the rest from mortgage interest.
He estimates that losing those deductions
would drive up his federal taxes by $4,000 a
year enough to call into question whether
they can continue to afford the $630,000
house they bought three years ago.
If not for the mortgage interest deduction,
I would have rented, he said. We did the
math, said, Hey, we could afford this. Its a
great school district, quiet neighborhood.
Well have a bedroom for each child and a
bedroom for ourselves. Its not an extrava-
gant mansion.
The changes could hit hard in New Jersey
and other high-tax states such as New York,
Massachusetts and California. Those are
places dominated by Democrats. But the
deduction changes are giving Republican
members of Congress pause, too.
Three of New Jerseys five Republican
congressmen said they would against it
because of the change. Rep. Frank
LoBiondo called the change detrimental to
New Jersey residents and Rep. Leonard
Lance said it was unacceptable.
Another major feature of the GOP plan
being considered would nearly double the
standard deduction to $24,000 for married
couples. That would simplify taxes for many
people, while also wiping out the benefits
of itemizing deductions for some.
In Roseville, Minnesota, Craig Stilen and
his wife itemize their tax returns. But in part
because of the way the GOP proposal gives
with one hand and takes with the other,
Stilen hasnt been able to work out what the
tax overhaul could mean for his family
financially.
