1917 lished “A Neglected Anniversary,” a

facetious essay by H. L. Mencken
supposedly recounting the history of
bathtubs in America, starting with
the “first” one in Cincinnati in 1842. Among the spoof’s
other straight-faced claims: that Millard Fillmore was the
first president to have a bathtub installed in the White
House. (Mencken was astonished when people took his “tis-
sue of absurdities” seriously.)
In 1 6 1 2 , Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei observed the

Two men shot in Local briefs

California company has pot
license, workers still arrested
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The confusing
rollout of marijuana regulations in
California has been underscored in
Mendocino County, where local
authorities licensed a company to
deliver pot only to have state
police arrest two employees who
were trying to do just that with near-
ly a ton of weed.
The workers for Old Kai
Distribution were transporting the
marijuana from a farm when they
were pulled over Friday afternoon
by a California Highway Patrol
officer on Highway 101 near Ukiah,
according to Joe Rogoway, an
attorney for the company. They
were driving an unmarked van and
were stopped for a traffic violation.
The workers showed the officer
the company’s county license and a
manifest for the marijuana, but the
officer insisted it was illegal, called
for backup and arrested the men.
The company argues it can trans-
port marijuana within the county
with its local license, and county
spokeswoman Sarah Dukett backed
that interpretation. She said Old
Kai was issued a distribution
license last week that allows it to
legally transport marijuana under
two local ordinances passed earlier
this year.
The workers were cited for unlaw-
ful transportation of marijuana and
unlawful possession for sale.
Investigators also seized all of the
marijuana and the company’s van.
“It is incomprehensible that this
has occurred,” said Rogoway, who
sent a letter to CHP demanding that
the charges be dropped and the mar-
ijuana returned to Old Kai.
Acting California Highway
Patrol Commissioner Warren
Stanley said the arrest was appro-
priate because a state license also is
required for legal transport and
those permits don’t take effect until
Monday, when broad legalization
arrives in California.
“They are following the laws that
are in place now,” Stanley said
Wednesday, referring to his offi-
cers. “And when Jan. 1, 2018,
comes they’ll start following the
laws that come into effect on that
date.”
The officer who made the Ukiah
stop was not targeting the busi-
ness, said Stanley, who is not aware
of any other arrests of a locally
licensed marijuana operation. CHP
primarily is concerned with drivers
who could be high behind the wheel
and the agency has trained 97 per-
cent of its officers and sergeants in
advanced drugged driving recogni-
tion skills, he said.
Redwood City last Friday
Two men were injured in a gang-
related shooting last week in unin-
corporated Redwood City, San
Mateo County sheriff’s officials
said.
The shooting was reported at
11:45 a.m. last Friday in the area
of Marlborough and Berkshire
avenues, according to the Sheriff’s
Office.
Deputies arrived to find the two
victims with gunshot wounds.
They were taken to a hospital and
are recovering, sheriff’s officials
said.
A male suspect had allegedly
approached the victims and shot
them, then fled in a vehicle. More
information about the suspect and
vehicle were not released, but
sheriff’s officials said investiga-
tors believe the shooting is gang-
related and the victims were target-
ed.
Deputies have increased patrols
in the area and are reminding the
public to report any suspicious
activity. Anyone with informa-
tion about the case is encouraged
to contact Detective Joe Fava at
(650) 363-4192 or jfava@smc-
gov.org.
People can also remain anony-
mous by calling a tip line at (800)
547-2700.
Pair of earthquakes
rattle San Jose area
The U. S. Geological Survey
says a pair of minor earthquakes
just a few hours apart rattled the
San Jose area in central
California.
The USGS reported a 3.1 magni-
tude quake hit an area northeast of
San Martin at 7:19 p.m. Tuesday.
A stronger 3.9 magnitude quake
hit at 10:32 p.m. northeast of
Alum Rock.
There were no immediate reports
of injuries or damage.
Los Gatos resident Sanjay
Khandelwal told the newspaper the
quake was “a good shaker” and that
his daughter felt her bunk bed
move.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ERIE, Pa. — Freezing temperatures and
below-zero wind chills socked much of the
northern United States on Wednesday, even
setting a record in a Minnesota city so cold
it’s called the Icebox of the Nation, and
will stay put for days to come as snow-

Forecasters warned of hypothermia and
frostbite from arctic air settling in over the
central U.S. and spreading east.
The National Weather Service reported
International Falls and Hibbing,
Minnesota, set record low temperatures on
Wednesday morning. International Falls,
the self-proclaimed Icebox of the Nation,
plunged to 37 degrees below zero, breaking
the old record of 32 below set in 1924.
Hibbing bottomed out at 28 below, break-
ing the old record of 27 below set in 1964.
Wind chill advisories or warnings were
in effect for much of New England, north-
ern Pennsylvania and New York. Those
places and states in the northern Plains and
Great Lakes were projected to see highs in
the teens or single digits and lows below
zero for the rest of the week and into the
new year.
The National Weather Service said wind
chills in many areas Thursday could make
temperatures feel below zero.
Meanwhile, Erie was recovering from a
storm that brought 34 inches of snow on
Christmas Day, smashing the daily snow-
fall record for the Great Lakes city of 8
inches, and 26.5 more inches on Tuesday.
More than 65 inches have fallen on the
city since Christmas Eve, with several
more inches falling Wednesday as residents
dug out in frigid temperatures.
Strong westerly winds over Lake Erie
picked up moisture, developed into snow
and converged with opposing winds, dump-
ing snow in a band along the shore from
Ohio to New York, said Zach Sefcovic, a

Sabrina Ram drove into Erie on
Christmas Eve to visit her parents just as
the snow began to fall. Ram, who lives in
suburban Washington, D.C., and her father
spent five hours on Christmas and two
hours on Tuesday clearing the driveway.
“In D.C., we’d be out of commission for
weeks,” Ram said. “Things here are pretty
much back to normal now.”
She said she was going to build a snow-
man but didn’t know where to start —
“where do you put it?” — and she went out-
side to clear off the satellite dish before
falling face first into the snow because she
couldn’t figure out where the porch ended.
“I totally just flew forward while my dad
laughed at me,” Ram said.
In New York, communities near Lake
Ontario’s eastern end, including Redfield
and Boylston, also saw around 5 feet of
snow this week.
The storm’s timing was good, since peo-
ple were off the streets and staying home
for Christmas, giving plows more space to
clear streets, officials said.
By Wednesday, Erie’s roads were relative-
ly clear, emergency calls were relatively
slow and the big task was digging out,
County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper said.
“We’re used to a lot of snow here in Erie,
but this is unprecedented, the amount we
got,” Dahlkemper said.
In Millcreek, outside Erie, it took
Kathleen Palkovic and her son two hours to
shovel out so she could make it to her wait-
ressing job. The 5-mile (8-kilometer) drive
to Dave’s Diner in downtown Erie took an
hour. Palkovic and the cook opened the
restaurant at a little after 6 a.m. in single-
digit temperatures.
“We’re dedicated people, I guess, ”
Palkovic said.
Something else helped: “It took 800 mil-
ligrams of ibuprofen after all that to get me
to work.”

FEMA sells disaster trailers

cheaply despite demand
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT WORTH, Texas — The federal gov-
ernment typically spends up to $150,000
apiece — not counting utilities, mainte-
nance or labor — on the trailers it leases to
disaster victims, then auctions them at cut-
rate prices after 18 months of use or the first
sign of minor damage, the Associated Press
has learned.
Officials have continued the practice even
amid a temporary housing shortage in
Texas, where almost 8,000 applicants are
still awaiting federal support nearly four
months after Hurricane Harvey landed in the
Gulf Coast.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency briefly halted trailer sales follow-
ing Harvey but resumed them in November,
online records show. Since then, at least
115 units manufactured this year have been
sold for pennies on the dollar, and many of
the online auctions have listed such things
as dirty mattresses, missing furniture, pet
odors or loose trim as the lone damage.

children and five dogs into a tent after their

was left uninhabitable by floodwater.
FEMA has no written policy or regulation
requiring disposal of used trailers, but an
official confirmed to AP that it’s a long-
standing internal policy and that seldom are
the housing units given to another family in
need after the initial 18-month stint.
“Because of the challenges associated
with damaged units, and the costs of life-
cycle maintenance, and because we are
required to maintain a ready reserve for dis-
asters, FEMA, by practice, doesn’t return
used units to our reserve inventory,” said

In heart of Trump Country,
his base’s faith is unshaken

SANDY HOOK, Ky. — The regulars amble
in before dawn and claim their usual table,
the one next to an old box television play-
ing the news on mute.
Steven Whitt fires up the coffee pot and
flips on the fluorescent sign in the window
of the Frosty Freeze, his diner that looks
and sounds and smells about the same as it
did when it opened a half-century ago.
Coffee is 50 cents a cup, refills 25 cents.
The pot sits on the counter, and payment is
based on the honor system.
People like it that way, he thinks. It
reminds them of a time before the world

seemed the same as the values here, in

Everyone in town comes to his diner for
nostalgia and homestyle cooking. And,

the world to puzzle over politics — because

hold, voted for the Democrat in each and

existence.
Until Donald Trump came along and
promised to wind back the clock.
“He was the hope we were all waiting on,
the guy riding up on the white horse. There
was a new energy about everybody here,”
says Whitt.
“I still see it.”

Treasury issues sanctions
against two North Korean officials
WASHINGTON — The U. S. Treasury

the sanctions are part of the United States’

North Korea and “achieve a fully denu-
clearized Korean Peninsula.”

WASHINGTON — When President Donald

director for releasing “derogatory informa-
tion” about Hillary Clinton at the conclusion
of the email server investigation months ear-
lier.
Yet with each tweet about the Clinton

Built in 1954 and 1956, the Sequoia
YMCA and senior center facilities have
been serving nearly 3,000 seniors regis-

teams, respectively, according to city and

The disconnect
James Comey between Trump’s attacks
on Comey’s handling of
the email investigation and the criticism of
to upgrade and redesign the facilities marked
the beginning of a new model for city recre-
ation, in which the city and the nonprofit’s
resources are leveraged toward improving
recreation in the city.
“We’re really trying to be a community
for all ages,” he said. “This really exempli-
fies that value for the city.”
Beth said several conversations with
community members in recent months have
keyed officials into a shared desire to com-
pletely redesign the facilities and preserve
as much green space in the park just south of
Jefferson Avenue and north of Roosevelt
Avenue as possible. He said keeping park-

print of the existing buildings — which
include the existing Veterans Memorial
Senior Center, Herkner Memorial Pool, the
NFL Alumni Building, an administrative
building and a wellness center — could help
manage the flow of traffic in the neighbor-
hoods surrounding the park.

The checkpoints, located up to 100 miles
from Mexico, are considered a final line of
defense against immigrants who elude
agents at the border. They also have been a
trap for U.S. citizens carrying drugs, even
tiny bags of marijuana.
Around the nation
Comey by his own Justice Department could
muddy the explanation for exactly why
Comey was fired, and may complicate efforts
by the president’s legal team to present a
coherent narrative as Mueller and his prose-
cutors examine whether the dismissal could
support obstruction of justice allegations.
Trump has complained for months about
the FBI’s decision not to pursue criminal
charges against Clinton, his Democratic
By handing operation of new pool facili-
ties over to the YMCA and managing new
gym, theater and kitchen facilities, among
other resources, at a new senior center, Beth
said the partnership would allow the city to
continue offering free or low-cost programs
to seniors. He added that a new YMCA facil-
ity including a health and wellness center,
two pools, child care and several multi-pur-
pose rooms in close proximity to the new
senior center would allow families to effi-
ciently access resources in both buildings.
“We’re looking at the most economical
way to approach it,” he said.
For Julie Wesolek, executive director of
the Sequoia YMCA, redesigning a new facil-
ity to allow for several programs to operate
simultaneously will be a boon for the non-
profit, which has seen increasing demand
for multi-generational programming. She
noted a family could come to the new facili-
ties together, participate in programs spe-
cific to their needs and then leave together,
an opportunity the nonprofit is limited in
offering within the existing Sequoia
YMCA.
“This facility with its freshness and mod-

About 40 percent of pot seizures at Border
Patrol checkpoints from fiscal years 2013 to
2016 were an ounce (28 grams) or less from
U.S. citizens, according to a Government
Accountability Office report last month.
California’s new law allows anyone 21 and
over to carry up to an ounce.
The Border Patrol operates 34 permanent
checkpoints along the Mexican border and
an additional 103 “tactical” stops, typically
cones and signs that appear for brief peri-
ods.
Ronald Vitiello, acting deputy commis-
sioner of parent agency Customs and Border
Protection, called drug seizures an “ancil-
lary effect” of enforcing immigration laws.
Motorists typically are released after being
photographed and fingerprinted. They gen-
erally aren’t charged with a crime because
prosecutors consider them low priority.
The clash between state and federal mari-
juana laws played out on a smaller scale near
the Canadian border in Washington after that
state legalized marijuana in 2014.
California is a far busier route for illegal
crossings with many more agents.
State and federal marijuana laws have con-
flicted since California became the first to
legalize marijuana for medical use in 1996.
Next week, California will be among seven
states and Washington, D.C., with legal
recreational pot.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a
staunch opponent of legalization, said last
month that he was taking a close look at fed-
eral enforcement, suggesting a tougher
stance than President Barack Obama’s
administration.
At highway checkpoints, Border Patrol
agents look for signs of nervous drivers,
like clutching steering wheels and avoiding
eye contact and interrupting when passen-
gers are asked to state citizenship. Some
panicked drivers make a U-turn when they
spot the checkpoint, a dead giveaway.
One recent morning on westbound
Interstate 8 about 40 miles (64 kilometers)

drivers for a few seconds to ask their citizen-

A dog discovered a marijuana stash about
the size of a thumbprint inside the pickup
truck of a man with Arizona license plates
who was taking his elderly uncle to a hospi-
tal appointment. It would have taken up to
an hour to process the arrest, so agents
released him after seizing the pot and warn-
ing it was illegal.
“I didn’t know that, sorry,” the driver said,
walking to his truck after waiting on a bench
a few minutes while the dog searched.
The animal sniffed something in another

The Pine Valley checkpoint, amid oak- and
chaparral-covered mountains on the main
route from Arizona to San Diego, gets busy
with drivers returning from weekend get-
aways but is less traveled than others.
Agents say a checkpoint on Interstate 5
between San Diego and Los Angeles can
cause a 4-mile (6.4-kilometer) backup in 90
seconds during peak hours.
The government faces pushback over
checkpoints. Some residents complain
about delays and trespassers trying to cir-
cumvent checkpoints — some even dying
from heat and exhaustion. Motorists who
consider them a privacy invasion steadfast-
ly refuse to answer questions and post their
test encounters on YouTube.
Border Patrol officials insist they are
effective. Without them, Vitiello said, smug-
glers would have open passage to cities like
Phoenix and Albuquerque, New Mexico, once
past the border.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that
agents can question people at checkpoints
even without reason to believe anyone in
the vehicle is in the country illegally and
don’t need a search warrant.
Michael Chernis, an attorney who repre-
sents people charged with marijuana crimes,
believes checkpoint seizures are a waste of
resources but acknowledged the government
is empowered.
“The bottom line is, there’s absolutely no
protection against federal interaction when
it comes to adult use,” he said.

Critically ill evacuated
from Syria besieged area
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Evacuation of critically ill
Syrians trapped in a rebel-held suburb near
the capital Damascus is underway, the
International Committee for the Red Cross
said Wednesday, following reports that con-
ditions in the area have reached alarming
levels.
Activists said the evacuation from eastern
Ghouta began late Tuesday, when five
patients left eastern Ghouta.
The International Committee of the Red
Cross, partnering with the local Syrian Arab
Crescent, are handling the evacuations.
Neither had any immediate comment on the
number or condition of the evacuees. SARC
spokeswoman Mona Kurdi said they arrived
in hospitals in government-controlled
Damascus.
The Army of Islam, a prominent rebel
group in eastern Ghouta, said 29 critically
ill residents will be evacuated as part of a
deal that was conditional on it releasing an
equivalent number of captives it held.
As part of the nearly seven year conflict,
the government recently tightened its siege
on the suburb, home to nearly 400,000 peo-
ple. The United Nations said the govern-
ment had refused to allow hundreds of criti-
cally ill to reach hospitals only minutes
away and blocked trucks filled with humani-
tarian relief.

Stock indexes eke out gains in quiet day
By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S. stock indexes capped
another quiet day on Wall Street
Wednesday with slight gains,
recouping some of the market’s
modest losses from a day earlier.
Technology, health care and
industrials stocks accounted for
much of the gain. A report show-
ing that pending U.S. home sales
inched higher last month helped
lift homebuilder shares.
Retailers and consumer-goods
manufacturers declined the most,
following a late-afternoon slide.
Energy stocks also fell along
with the price of crude oil. Bond
yields fell following a report
showing U. S. consumer confi-
dence dipped this month.
“Trading is obviously very
light, but the market is certainly
going out on a high as we head

Risk for middle class: That GOP tax cuts could fade away
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It’s a
Christmas gift the middle class
might want to give back in a few
years.
The Republican tax overhaul
bestows an initial infusion of
cash on nearly every taxpayer
next year. That extra income is
likely to please millions of
households, support consumer
spending and perhaps give the
economy a short-term lift.
Ordinary households should
enjoy it while it lasts. Over the
next several years, multiple
analyses of the law have found,
those tax cuts will gradually fade
— and then morph into tax hikes

index of smaller-company stocks
lost 0.29 points, or 0.02 percent,
to 1,543.94.

reports helped drive some trades.

Why?
Two features in the law — a
child tax credit and a $10,000
limit on state and local tax deduc-
tions — won’t adjust to keep pace
with inflation, thereby reducing
their value each year. What’s
more, the individual tax cuts are
set to expire after 2025. And once
the individual tax rates revert to
their former levels, a stingier
inflation gauge would raise taxes
for most households.
President Donald Trump has
largely sidestepped these trade-
offs in promoting the overhaul he
signed on Friday, a measure whose
benefits largely favor corpora-
tions and wealthy individuals.

By contrast, a majority of peo-

would, on average, absorb a tax
increase in 2027.
“The tax bill gives a big tax cut
to corporations with the hope
that, eventually, it will boost
wages at the bottom,” said Elaine
Maag, a senior researcher at the
Tax Policy Center. “But it does
seem a little counterintuitive that
you would raise taxes on low- and
middle-income families that are
struggling.”

Scots cruise past Mack
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It has been an up-and-down preseason for
the Carlmont boys’ basketball team so far
this season.
The Scots have shown an ability to score
— they’ve had two games of 70-plus points
— but they’ve also seen their share of strug-
gles, including back-to-back games in
which they scored only 34 points.
To make matters worse, Carlmont went
into Wednesday’s non-league game against
McClymonds-Oakland mired in a two-game
losing streak — including a 72-26 pasting
at the hands of Palo Alto the day before
Christmas Eve.
Turns out the 1-8 Warriors were just the
tonic the Scots needed. Led by three players
in doubles figures, Carlmont led by 10 after
one quarter and by 20 at halftime on its way
to a 63-31 win over the Warriors.
“We needed the win after two losses (in a
row),” said Carlmont’s first-year head coach
Ron Ozorio. “Some of (our struggles have)
to do with guys being out. … We’re trying
to get healthy.”
Carlmont (6-5 overall) was not feeling
any pain Wednesday afternoon. After jump-
ing out to a quick 6-0 lead, only to see Mack
counter with six unanswered points, the
Scots took control of the game, getting
strong inside-outside play and by control-
ling the boards.
Lajuan Nelson led Carlmont with a game-
high 15 points — all in the first half. He
opened the scoring with a three-point play,
added a baseline drive and layup midway
through the opening period and then drained
a 3-pointer.
“He’s our motor,” Ozorio said. “He gives
us energy. At his best, he’s vocal and posi-
tive.”
Nelson, a guard, and wing player David
Bedrosian took turns scoring in the first
quarter as the Scots poured in 22 points.
Bedrosian added 13 points in the victory,
with 11 coming in the first half and 8 of
those coming in the first eight minutes. He
followed Nelson’s bucket and free throw
with the first of his three 3-pointers on the

ketball coach at Notre Dame-
Belmont, had it all. He had a great
career working for a major corporation
and he had spent 20 years coaching the
sport he loved.
But he wanted more. Actually, he want-

Davenport said he is stepping down as
the Tigers coach at the end of the season
and moving to Golden, Colorado.
“I have a 3-year-old and a 7 1/2-month-
year-old,” Davenport said. “I want a dif-

I’ve felt the last 10 years. Even though I
made pretty good money, living in the
Bay Area, it never felt like it was
enough.”
Davenport said he and his wife had
been talking about moving from their

When he received an unsolicited offer to
buy his house, Davenport wasn’t sure
what to make of it. He sent the letter to a
real estate friend of his, Mills’ girls’
coach Dave Matsu, who told Davenport
that if he was serious about moving out
of the area, he should call the agency that
sent him the letter.
“It wasn’t a decision we came to light-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — The two biggest surprises in
the Pac-12 heading into conference play
come from the same state.
Arizona State was picked to finish sixth
in the Pac-12 yet has been maybe the
biggest surprise in all of college basket-
ball, winning all 12 of its nonconference
games while moving up to a program-high
No. 3 in the AP Top 25 .
Arizona was No. 2 in the poll early in the
season and went the opposite direction,
dropping out after an unexpected 0-for-3
trip to the Bahamas. The Wildcats (10-3)
have rounded back into form recently, set-

The Sun Devils were expected to be better
in Hurley’s third season in the desert with
big men Romello White and De’Quon Lake
giving their three senior guards help on the
inside at both ends.
Arizona State’s rise was much more mete-
oric than expected.
White and Lake have freed up the trio of
Tra Holder, Shannon Evans II and Kodi

best. Arizona State also has one of nation’s

Curry has missed nine games with a

coach Sean Miller said. “They have those
guards playing at a high level as far as I can
see and they have experience.”
Arizona got off to a slow start in large
part because of defensive breakdowns. The
Wildcats have bounced back from that lost
trip to the Bahamas with big improvements
on the defensive end and one of the nation’s
most difficult 1-2 punches in Allonzo Trier
and Deandre Ayton.
The game on Saturday is the perfect way to
kick off the Pac-12 season.
Here are a few more things to look for in
the Pac-12 as the conference season begins:
UCLA’s strange ride
UCLA lost Lonzo Ball, T.J. Leaf and Bryce
Alford from last year’s team, but it was still
ranked No. 21 in the preseason poll because
of the talent left on the roster and the stellar
recruiting class coach Steve Alford added. The
season got off to a rocky start in China, where

there to clean up any missed assignments,”
All-Star Klay Thompson said. “They’re so
good at contesting every shot in the paint,
blocking shots. They play with such great
toughness.”
If teams can’t beat the Warriors when they’re
short-handed, it’s hard to imagine anyone
doing it when they’re at full strength. But Van
Gundy won’t rule out the Rockets, who were
wiping out all their opponents until Chris
Paul was hurt again after 14 straight victories.
“I think they are an absolute legitimate con-
tender,” Van Gundy said. “I think the Western

accused of shoplifting and suspended. Ball left
the school to play professionally overseas,
while Riley and Hill were recently suspended
for the rest of the season. The Bruins should-
n’t be overlooked, though; they beat No. 7
Kentucky last Friday.
Rebuilt Ducks
Oregon had to replace four starters from
its Final Four team but was still picked to
finish fourth in the Pac-12. The Ducks (10-
3) have been pretty close to those prognos-
tications, beating the teams they were sup-
posed to while losing to the four best teams
on their schedule.
Riding Reid
Stanford (6-7) had an uneven run through
a difficult nonconference schedule, but Reid
Travis hasn’t. The junior forward leads the
Pac-12 in scoring at 21.4 points per game
despite opposing teams keying on him and
is grabbing 7.1 rebounds per game.

49ers trying to keep
perspective amid
Jimmy G’s fast start
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Heading into his first full offseason as
San Francisco’s coach, Kyle Shanahan wants the 49ers to
maintain perspective now that expectations are rising dra-
matically with Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback.
San Francisco will enter 2018 as a favorite to make a big
jump, perhaps to playoff contention, with Garoppolo having
an entire offseason to master Shanahan’s system while the
front office continues to retool the roster.
But Shanahan knows positive attention and high expecta-
tions can backfire.
“You find out a lot about people through adversity, but you
also do through success,” Shanahan said.
“We’ve had some the last few weeks, got
a lot of attention, way too much probably,
but we’ve been happy with how we’ve
been playing and hopefully can finish this
up strong and that’ll leave us excited
going into next year.”
The attention the 49ers have received is
warranted even though they won’t be
going to the playoffs. They became the
Jimmy
first team in NFL history to win five
Garoppolo games after starting a season 0-9.
Garoppolo, after San Francisco scored 44 points against
the playoff-bound Jaguars on Sunday, joined two-time Super
Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger as the only active quarter-
back to win his first six starts, five of them with the 49ers.
Only eight quarterbacks have done that since the merger in
1970.
And now that he’s the center of one of the biggest sports
stories in the Bay Area, he’s able to apply what he learned dur-
ing his time with the Patriots to prevent the attention from
affecting his play.
“All four years of my career there’s been big story after big
story, just the NFL. I think you just kind of get used to it,”
Garoppolo said.
“You don’t listen to the noise. I hear about it from people.
It’s cool to hear about, but we have a job on Sunday to do and
if you get caught up in all the noise you’ll be distracted and
have no chance.”
Against Jacksonville, Garoppolo threw for 242 yards while
completing 70 percent of his passes. He accounted for three
touchdowns, including the first rushing score of his career.
His 98.9 passer rating since joining San Francisco would
rank sixth among qualified starting quarterbacks.
“He knows how to win,” center Daniel Kilgore said. “I don’t
think all the success is getting to him. I don’t think he’s that
guy, which is great to see. He’s a got a tough mindset and he’s
a fighter, great competitor. He’s handled it very well.”
The 49ers will have a chance to get their sixth win Sunday
against the NFC West champion Rams, who will sit starting
quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and star
defensive lineman Aaron Donald in preparation for the wild-
card round of the playoffs.

Rams to rest key
starters vs. 49ers
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams plan to rest quar-
terback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and defensive
tackle Aaron Donald in their season finale against San
Francisco on Sunday.
Coach Sean McVay also said Wednesday
that left tackle Andrew Whitworth and cen-
ter John Sullivan won’t play against the
49ers (5-10). The NFC West champion
Rams (11-4) are preparing for the playoffs,
and more players also could get the day off.
Los Angeles has clinched a first-round
home playoff game, but can’t climb past
Philadelphia or Minnesota to a top-two
Jared Goff seed and a postseason bye. McVay believes
it’s relatively unimportant whether the
Rams finish with the third seed or the fourth seed, so he wants
his key playmakers to hit the postseason well-rested.
“I know sometimes people might not always agree, but
when situations like this come up, it’s a nice luxury to be able
to have,” McVay said. “But you want to make sure that you
handle it the right way for our team. It might not be for every
team, but we feel like that’s the best approach for us.”
McVay said the Rams decided to take their foot off the gas
only after extensive internal discussions and a front-office
decision that no players on the verge of statistical bench-
marks will miss out on financial incentives.
“We definitely are mindful and aware of those guys that were
affected,” McVay said, without mentioning specifics. “We
want to make sure that we take care of that and handle that in a
first-class way and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”

Sean Mannion will make his first career NFL start at quarter-
back, with the Oregon State product appearing in just his sev-
enth career game in three seasons as a backup with the Rams.
Goff is expected to be active for the game as Mannion’s back-
up, since third-stringer Brandon Allen is on injured reserve.
Goff is eighth in the NFL with 3,804 yards passing, and his
28 TD passes are tied for fourth. The second-year quarterback
said he agreed with the decision to rest him heading into his
playoff debut.
“I don’t feel banged up or anything, but a week off can never
hurt, especially this late in the year,” Goff said. “I feel good. I
think ultimately this is going to help guys that really take a
beating. I’ve been kept pretty clean most of the year, and guys
like Todd, guys on the defense, guys that really take that beat-
ing, the guys up front, it will really help them.”
Mannion has thrown just three passes while appearing in
four games this season. Goff plans to be active on the sideline
in helping Mannion.
“We don’t want this to be misconstrued at all: We’re trying
to go out and win this weekend,” Goff said. “I don’t think it
matters who we’re putting out there.”
Gurley is an MVP candidate and the NFL’s leading rusher with
1,305 yards. This move endangers his first league rushing title
— or maybe it doesn’t.
Gurley is barely ahead of Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt (1,292)
and Pittsburgh’s LeVeon Bell (1,291), but the Chiefs and
Steelers are also playoff-bound with little reason to risk their
top talent this week.
Neither team has confirmed whether its top ball-carrier also
will sit out its regular-season finale, but the Steelers could
only pass New England for the top spot in the AFC if the
Patriots lost to the New York Jets, while the Chiefs are locked
into the fourth seed.

Continued from page 11
“He’s been pretty much consistent (this sea-
son),” Harrison said. “He’s obviously our
main guy. We want to get him going.”
After scuffling through a first half in which
seemingly nothing would drop for DeVitis —
and with his Wildcats clinging to a 26-24 lead
at the break — the senior dialed it in, working
seamlessly with senior big man Beck Patrone
on the pick-and-roll, dropping four 3-pointers
in the second half.
“Confidence,” DeVitis said of his second-
half wakeup call. “I realize I wasn’t looking at
the hoop. … I came out and realized I had to get
some 3s up.”
But the Wildcats walked away from the loss
with a different kind of wakeup call.
“I think it was a wakeup call not to get lax
late in the game,” DeVitis said, “to keep our
composure and stay together as a team.”
It was an ugly two minutes the Wildcats
closed with, as they never even got the ball
past midcourt in that time. It was a far cry from
the way Woodside started in each half, going
on a 9-0 run to open the game and then a 10-0
run to start the second half.
Woodside dominated the boards, outre-
bounding Washington 37-23. Patrone added
nine points and five rebounds, but the passing
communication that was so essential to get-
ting DeVitis going to start the second half was
all too absent in the late going.
The turnaround started when Luong drilled a
3 with 1:58 remaining. Patrone responded
with a slick behind-the-back dribble to drive
an open hoop to bump the lead back to 54-45.
But it was the last points Woodside would
score.
After Washington closed it to 54-49, Luong
ripped a steal and drew a foul, hitting both free
throws to close it to 54-51 with 44 seconds
remaining. Then a juggled inbound pass found
the hot hand of Luong, who poured in a 3 to tie
it with 31 seconds left.
“We’re not really a team that [presses] con-
sistently,” Lassiter said. “The circumstances

Woodside seemed to get a reprieve on the
following inbound pass, a long loft to mid-
court that Washington junior Da’Jon Aranas
nearly nabbed, but instead swatted right into
the hands of Patrone. But three Eagles jerseys
swarmed the senior, producing another take-
away. And Luong once again was the benefac-

Alabama, Clemson back in
playoffs after talent exodus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clemson was fresh from the national
championship game two years ago when the
coaches called a highly touted recruit
already being pursued by other big-name
programs.
Kansas high school safety Isaiah
Simmons listened, welcomed coach Dabo
Swinney’s recruiting visit and ultimately
signed with the Tigers. He’s now a signifi-
cant contributor.
“Our reach is much, much further than it
has ever been,” Swinney said.
Welcome to Alabama’s world, Clemson.
Sustaining high-level success is never easy,
but being on that national stage and regular-
ly contending for titles often facilitates
entry into the living rooms of the kind of
recruits who can help programs stay at the
top.
That’s certainly evident in the Sugar
Bowl, where the top-ranked Tigers reached
after replacing two-time Heisman Trophy
finalist Deshaun Watson, fellow first-round
NFL draft pick Mike Williams and plenty
more offensive talent after last season’s
national title. No. 4 Alabama lost a similar
amount of defensive stars.
Perhaps the respective units haven’t been
quite as dominant but both teams are right
back where they were last year — and the
year before — in the College Football
Playoffs contending for a national title.
They’ve split the past two championships.
Nick Saban has made reloading into a sci-
ence at Alabama. In his words, the process .
NFL draft picks exit. Similarly talented
keeps running .
Swinney’s doing it awfully well these
days, too.
Alabama arrived at Louis Armstrong
THE DAILY JOURNAL
International New Orleans airport on damp
Wednesday morning to begin their final
Sugar preparations. The Tid had to replace
seven defensive players drafted within the
first four rounds, including first-rounders
Marlon Humphrey, Jonathan Allen and
Reuben Foster.
The Tigers had seven offensive starters
depart, including a 4,000-yard passer,
1,000-yard receiver and 1,000-yard rusher
(Wayne Gallman). Only 22.7 percent of the
offensive production returned from 2016,
less than all but two of 130 FBS teams.
Saban praises the way Alabama players
have embraced new roles, and sees similar
results from Clemson’s offense led by quar-
terback Kelly Bryant .
“They have really good players. They
recruit well,” Saban said. “And the guys that
they’ve had step in on offense have done a
fantastic job for them this year, starting
with the quarterback. The receivers, the new
running backs, those guys have all been
very effective for them. They are almost as
productive offensively as they were a year
ago.”
And that’s saying something from a group
that averaged 39 points and 503 yards per
game. The 2017 Clemson offense averages a
still-not-shabby 35.4 points and 448 yards.
Alabama’s defense is still pretty darn
good, even without a dominant pass rusher
like Allen or Tim Williams and with a bar-
rage of injuries, especially at linebacker.
The Tide will be without linebacker Shaun
Dion Hamilton and almost certainly fresh-
man Dylan Moses with injuries through the
playoffs, along with starting safety Hootie
Jones. Linebackers Christian Miller, Terrell
Lewis and Mack Wilson figure to be health-
ier for the Sugar Bowl after returning from
injuries in the regular-season finale against
No. 7 Auburn.

day to put Carlmont up 6-0 less than two
minutes in.
Mack had its best sequence of the game
over the next minute of the first quarter as
the Warriors used their transition game to
get easy baskets. They scored three straight
buckets on fast-break layups to tie the score
at 6 and a fourth layup on the run cut the
Carlmont lead to 11-8.
“We didn’t do a great job of controlling
the tempo,” Ozorio said.
But the Scots responded with a 9-4 run to
take a 22-12 lead into the second period.
The Warriors opened the scoring in the
second quarter, but Carlmont answered with
a 10-0 run to push its lead to 20, 34-14,
with 3:41 left in the half. Nelson scored
back-to-back buckets, followed by a 3 from
Bedrosian. Zach Burgos, who finished with
14 points (12 in the second half) knocked
down a pair of free throws and Nelson
capped the run with his second 3 of the half.
The Scots led 40-18 at halftime, all but
making the second half a moot point. And
SPORTS
Carlmont kind of treated it like that, espe-
cially in the third quarter as the Scots essen-
tially tried to stop scoring to avoid embar-
rassing the Warriors.
During a timeout, however, Ozorio
implored his team to keep playing the
game, regardless of the score.
“It’s hard to keep focus (during a blowout
win). But the good teams do,” Ozorio said.
“Palo Alto certainly did as they scored 72 on
us.”
Carlmont scored only nine points in the
third quarter and were stuck on just two in
the fourth before Burgos got loose, scoring
10 points over a two-minute span.
The Scots appear to have the pieces in
place to be a factor in the Peninsula Athletic
League’s South Division. They have three
returning starters in Nelson, Bedrosian and
Seiya Mirande and their starting five looked
solid.
Ozorio’s biggest concern, however, is
depth.
“We have one piece at every position, but
we don’t have two, ” Ozorio said. “The
bench has to be able to fill those holes.
“We have 1 through 5. We don’t have 6
through 10 (yet).”
ALTUVE
Continued from page 11
to lead his league in hits in four straight sea-
sons. He tied a career-best with 24 homers and
had 81 RBIs. He was second in the AL by scor-
ing 112 runs, his on-base percentage of .410
ranked third, he was third with 32 steals and
his .547 slugging percentage ranked sixth.
His work made him the second Astro to win
an MVP award , joining Hall of Famer Jeff
Bagwell, who picked up the National League’s
honors in 1994.
Altuve carried his stellar regular season into
the postseason, where he paced the Astros in
their ALDS win over the Boston Red Sox by
hitting .533 with an outrageous 1.133 slug-
ging percentage.
Altuve spent his early years with the Astros
toiling in relative obscurity as Houston lost
100-plus games in each of his first three major
league seasons from 2011-13. There was no
denying his superstar status this season as the
Astros won 101 games, and he became one of
the best stories early in the postseason when
he hit three homers in their Game 1 win over
Boston.
As one of the smallest players in the majors,
Altuve certainly isn’t known as a slugger, but
that performance made him just the 10th play-
er in major league history and first since 2012
to hit three homers in a playoff game. Altuve’s
story of once being sent home from a tryout
because he was too short has been well docu-
mented as he has risen to fame. But on the day
his huge game led the Astros to that playoff
win, he perfectly summed up the mindset he’s
carried since that setback.
“As soon as I cross the white line, I feel the
same size as everyone else,” he said.

offer too good to refuse.’
While making a momentous decision
such as pulling up stakes and moving to
the Mountain time zone seems nerve
wracking, Davenport said since his family
made the decision, he has felt an over-
whelming sense of calm.
“Talk about a sense of relief since we
decided to do it,” Davenport said. “I quit
my job in corporate and I’ve been subbing
at Notre Dame the last several weeks. I’m
going to try to become a PE teacher. I just
want to get away from the corporate
thing.”
He said the fact his wife can keep her job
here in Bay Area while living in Colorado
made the decision even easier to make. And
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Altuve’s grit and determination is evident
every time he takes the field. His teammates
marvel at the fact that no matter how good he
is, he’s always looking to do better.
“He has four hits and he’s like, ‘Carlos I
never had a five-hit game before, let me try to
get the fifth hit,”’ shortstop Carlos Correa
said. “He’s always striving for more. And
that’s what I’ve learned from him that makes
me better every, single day.”
Altuve, who grew up in Venezuela, considers
Houston his second home after spending his
entire professional career with the Astros. He
took great pride in wearing the Houston
Strong patch on his uniform throughout the
playoffs as a reminder of what the city went
through during the storm and how difficult the
rebuilding process would be.
He said people approach him often to say
thank you for helping the Astros win their
first title and for being a bright spot in such a
terrible time.
“We had the responsibility of making it
happen for the city,” the 27-year-old said. “We
wanted to win the World Series for the city. We
just wanted to try to see a smile from them.”
Since winning the World Series, Altuve has
been welcomed to Disney World by Mickey
Mouse, been a guest on “The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon” and been named
Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year
along with Texans star J.J. Watt. Despite all
this, Altuve has remained the same humble,
soft-spoken man he was when he first broke
into the majors in 2011.
“I don’t think I’m the face of the city or the
Houston Astros,” he said. “I’m just another
guy who is playing hard to make dreams come
true. My dream was to win the World Series and
I know the fans’ dream was to win the World
Series as well. So we are on the same page and
I really enjoy my time in Houston.”
how did the family come to choose
Colorado? Davenport said he was looking
to raise his kids in the outdoors, much as
he did growing up.
“I grew up in the Central Valley. I grew
up hunting and fishing,” Davenport said.
He said he looks forward to teaching his
children how to fish with the plethora of
lakes and streams in the Rocky Mountains.
“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for
years.”
As for continuing his coaching career,
Davenport said that is still up in the air,
but he in leaning toward not.
“I won’t coach right away — if at all,” he
said. “Now we just have to find a house (in
Colorado).”

Asian tableware: From Zen to zany
By Kim Coook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Japan, China and Korea have a long his-
tory of creating beautiful table goods, from
rustic stoneware to delicate ceramics, sleek
lacquered items to whimsical serveware and
utensils. This tableware is appearing more
and more in decor stores on this side of the
world as part of several trends: minimal-
ism, globalism, eclecticism.
Miya Company, based in New York City,
imports a wide range of Japanese tableware
and gifts. “We’re a third-generation family
business that was started in the 1930s by
my husband’s great uncle, Chosuke
Miyahira, ” says spokesperson Heidi
Moon.
Miya was initially a flower shop, and
then began offering tableware. Moon says
its motto today is “friends don’t let friends
use boring dishes,” and that whatever they
sell has to be “beautiful, simple and fun.”
In the utensils department, there are fan-
ciful tongs shaped like cat paws, and a man-
shaped chopsticks holder with hollow legs
so the sticks make him look like a stilt
walker. In the ceramics section, there are
plates and cups resembling traditional
kokeshi dolls. Blue and white ceramic
bowls, ideal for cereal, rice or soup, are
stamped with a simple raindrop pattern,
and come in sets with wooden chopsticks.
There are cleverly designed mugs, too. A
calico cat-shaped cup has its own little kit-
ten spoon.

microwave-safe series of mugs printed with

Cats are well represented in Asian table-
ware as symbols of good luck. Along with
all the feline mugs, there are playful pussy-
cats gamboling over glass and porcelain
plates, and a clever cat-shaped matte black
teapot, with the cat’s head becoming a cup.
A striking black and white plate collec-
tion by Komon draws inspiration from tra-
ditional Japanese patterns like hemp

sells table and kitchen goods as well as
home accessories. A collection of serve-
ware is designed in the style of 16th centu-
ry Japanese Oribe ceramics, known for
their bold designs and copper green glaze.
A pattern called Sunlit Forest evokes sun-
light streaming through a woodland
canopy at midday.
There are jaunty lidded Chawa Muchi
cups, traditionally used for egg custard.
Painted with star flowers or clover, they’d
make a pretty presentation for a sweet
dessert.
Children’s chopstick sets include holders
shaped like pandas, cats and bunnies.
Beautiful Wakasa chopsticks are made of
hand-lacquered wood that’s then inlaid with
shell or pearl in a design meant to evoke
the clear, rippling waters of Japan’s
Wakasa Bay.
Forget those boring buffet platters; con-
sider a detailed, miniature lacquerware boat
or bridge on which to perch the savories or
sweets. Red and gold trim accents these
glossy black pieces that would bring a
touch of drama to the table.
CB2 has a matte-black, rustic, clay
stoneware dish set comprised of a cup and
saucer, bowl and two round plates with
raised edges in the traditional Japanese
style.
And School of the Art Institute of
Chicago student Louis Kishfy designed a
serene little tea mug that marries a gritty,
tactile stoneware base with a silken glazed
cloak in white, cobalt or sky blue.

Pocket-size seed packets speak volumes
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A seed packet may be small, but it speaks
volumes.
While seed catalogs promote thousands
of types of plants, seed packets tell garden-
ers how to grow one. All the information is
printed on the back of a paper pouch slight-
ly larger than the size of your wallet, and at
prices that won’t empty it.
Although the cost of seeds has risen over
the past few years, they’re still an econom-
ical way to garden, said Elsa Sanchez, a
commercial vegetable crops specialist at
Penn State University Extension.
“The other option would be to buy trans-
plants, which is generally more expen-
sive,” Sanchez said. “You also find a lot
more options for types and cultivars when
you start from seed.”
Seed packages have been a gardening sta-
ple in the United States for well over a cen-
tury, although their look is frequently
changed.
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., for example, has
begun shipping re-designed packets for the
2018 growing season.
“We made the picture (of the plant) virtu-
ally the entire front of the packet, so there’s
a very strong shout-out of what it is,” said
Burpee chairman and chief executive officer
George Ball. “We have just a few things on
the front — the name, price and weight,
such as we need to have.

The kind of information to expect from
these miniature reference guides:
• Days to seed germination and maturity.
Expect those to vary somewhat, though,
based on sun exposure, soil temperature,
fertility and moisture.
• Seed count and packing date. “Seed
longevity is dependent on the type of seed
and also storage conditions,” Sanchez said,
recommending that any leftovers be kept
cool and dry until another planting season
rolls around. “Over time, viability and ger-
mination rates will decline.”
• Plant profile and size: whether it’s a
hybrid, open pollinated or an heirloom, an
annual, biennial or perennial.
• Planting instructions, including seed
spacing and soil depth, light conditions
and moisture requirements.

DATEBOOK
Before the 1990s, little recourse for harassment victims
By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Back in 1979, Karen
Schneider was an entry-level copy edi-
tor in her 20s when a senior editor at her
newspaper offered her a ride after some
late-night drinks with colleagues. At her
destination, he locked the car door and
forcibly kissed her.
Terrified, she managed to get away.
She subsequently told her boyfriend
about what happened — and no one else.
“I didn’t know what sexual harass-
ment was. I didn’t know that what he did
was actually illegal,” Schneider recalled
in a recent phone interview. “All I knew
was that I was scared and deeply worried
about my career, because this man was
in a position of authority and I was a
very eager young journalist.”
The recent wave of sexual misconduct
allegations, costing dozens of promi-
nent men their jobs and reputations,
OYSTER
Continued from page 1
ments will be folded into the many
others from local residents and organi-
zations, then addressed later in the
review process.
When examining the project, offi-
cials are charged with weighing the
proposal to build about 1,200 housing
units adjacent to the nearly 1.5 mil-
lion square feet of commercial spaces
over roughly 40 acres abutting Oyster
Point Marina/Park. Commissioners
were also asked to compare the
impacts of the housing component to
the previous entitlements to build the
roughly 2.25 million square feet of
solely office and research and develop-
ment space at the site.
By putting homes near the jobs, a
traffic study in the environmental
impact report shows the expected traf-
fic congestion should be relieved as
the commute patterns would shift.
But considering the lack of existing
infrastructure needed to accommodate
the crush of workers flocking to the
wealth of biotech jobs in the area, traf-
fic flow will remain a grind regardless
of the size or scope of development,
according to the report.
Such a quagmire perplexed
Commissioner Sam Shihadeh, who
recognized the challenges facing driv-
ers.
“There is going to be a lot of traffic,
let’s be realistic. Yes, residents will be
coming the other way. But at the
moment, during peak time, the streets
and freeway entrances can’t accommo-
date existing traffic flow. So that’s a
major concern,” he said.

shows that experiences like Schneider’s
remain common in American work-
places. But even as the problem per-
sists, there is far more public awareness
now of sexual harassment and far more
recourse for victims, compared with the
decades before the 1990s.
Schneider remained at the Hartford
Courant for five more years after the
kiss, keeping her secret. She later
worked for other news and advocacy
organizations and is now vice president
of communications for the National
Women’s Law Center, which is assisting
women speaking out about harassment.
“There has been greater recognition
that sexual harassment is against the
law and should not be tolerated,”
Schneider said. “But there are many
industries and offices where people are
still afraid to speak out.”
Technically, sexual harassment
became illegal under the 1964 Civil
Rights Act’s ban on sex discrimination,
As part of the state’s environmental
review process, the report is required
to generate alternative designs which
could mitigate some of the challenges
invited by the development. To relieve
traffic, the report suggests scaling
back the project by either 25 percent
or 35 percent could be effective.
The report notes, however, the reduc-
tion would only offer marginal bene-
fits in freeing up congestion, and the
altered traffic flows generated by
adding the housing is a substantial
improvement over building the entire-
ly commercial project.
South San Francisco officials have
made it clear they are not recommend-
ing trimming the project, but are only
examining the alternative designs as
mandated through the environmental
review process.
But Commissioner Mark Nagales
suggested some tweaks to the propos-
al may be in order to improve the qual-
ity of life for those potentially occu-
pying the site in the future.
“If I’m a resident who wants to trav-
el and not drive, I don’t have that capa-
bility,” said Nagales, noting the pro-
ject’s relative inaccessibility via pub-
lic transportation.
Such a dilemma could be an issue for
a parent of the hundreds of students
expected to be living in the residential
units, as there is no local campus
available to accommodate families.
As a result, he suggested families
would need to drive across the highway
each morning, likely worsening traffic
congestion and posing enrollment
challenges for South San Francisco
Unified School District officials.
“I think it’s a huge impact to the
community,” he said. “That is some-
thing that needs to be addressed and
how we are going to fix that.”

but it took three more decades of court
rulings to establish the current concepts
of what it entails and how to address it.
Gillian Thomas, an American Civil
Liberties Union attorney who has writ-
ten on the topic, said the term “sexual
harassment” wasn’t even coined until
1975.
A turning point in public awareness
came in 1991, when sexual harassment
was the focus of Anita Hill’s testimony
during Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court
confirmation hearings.
There also were pivotal Supreme
Court rulings, including one in 1986
declaring that a “hostile working envi-
ronment” could constitute sexual
harassment, whether or not an
aggrieved employee suffered economic
harm by being fired or denied promo-
tion. In 1993, the high court said
employees could prevail in harassment
cases without having to prove they suf-
fered psychological damage.
The developer has offered the school
district nearly $6 million in school
impact fees, but Nagales suggested
that may not be enough to mitigate all
the problems generated by the devel-
opment.
Senior Planner Billy Gross said ulti-
mately such concerns would need to be
addressed by school officials, but
noted there has been a willingness
shown by the developer to help offset
the burden brought by more students.
Commissioner Alex Wong echoed
some of Nagales’ concerns regarding
services, and also questioned whether
there are concurrent plans to build
more open spaces or parks, grocery
stores and additional amenities
addressing the needs of new families
and workers in the area.
Not all feedback of the project was
critical though, as some local housing
advocates expressed their support for
proposal to develop more places to
live under an effort to relieve the pre-
vailing affordability crunch.
“I think this is a rare opportunity for
a city like South San Francisco to add
to the region and make sure people can
move here and we can continue to be
such a dynamic community,” said Nico
Nagle, of the San Francisco Housing
Action Coalition.
Considering the variety of perspec-
tives offered on the project poised as
one of the largest development pro-
posals on the Peninsula, commission
Chair Norm Faria encouraged all con-
cerned parties to express their opinion
during the public comment period of
the environmental review process
which closes next month.
“This is a really important, big proj-
ect and we want to hear what everyone
has to say,” he said.

Myanmar court extends
detention for two Reuters reporters
BANGKOK — A court in Myanmar extended the detention
of two Reuters journalists on Wednesday and set their trial
for Jan. 10 on charges of violating state secrets.
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were arrested Dec. 12 for acquir-
ing “important secret papers” from two policemen. The
police officers had worked in Rakhine state, where abuses
widely blamed on the military have driven more than
630,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee into neighboring
Bangladesh. The charges are are punishable by up to 14
years in prison.
“We are just working as journalists. ... We never violate
journalism ethics,” Wa Lone told reporters as he and his col-
league were led out of a police van into the courtroom in
Mingalardon, on the outskirts of Yangon.
Their families wept as they got a chance to see them for
the first time since their arrests.
“I want my husband to be free soon. And I trust him that he
would never violate the law,” said Wa Lone’s wife, Pan Ei
Mon.
U.S., U.N. and European Union officials are among others
calling for their release.
Dozens of Myanmar journalists appeared at the court wear-
ing black shirts as part of a protest against the journalists’
arrests.
“We are facing the same kind of harassment under the
civilian government as we did under the military govern-
ment,” said Thar Lun Zaung Htet, head of a local pressure
group for press freedom. “It is not fair for the two journalists
to be charged under the official secrets act because they were
doing their job as journalists who tried to get information.”
As China smothers Xinjiang,
even mild critics are silenced
BEIJING — Zhang Haitao was a rare voice in China, a
member of the ethnic Han majority who for years had criti-
cized the government on social media for its treatment of the
minority Muslim Uighurs.
Zhang’s wife had long feared some sort of backlash
despite her husband’s relative obscurity. He was a working-
class electronics salesman, unknown even to most Uighur
activists. So she worried that authorities might block his
social media accounts, or maybe detain him. Instead he was
arrested and prosecuted for subversion and espionage. His
punishment: 20 years in prison.
“They wanted to make an example of him, to scare anyone
who might question what they do in the name of security,”
Zhang’s wife, Li Aijie, told the Associated Press earlier this
week, one day after she arrived in the United States and asked
for political asylum. “Even someone who knows nothing
about law would know that his punishment made no sense.”
Elsewhere in China, Zhang would have been sentenced to
no more than three years, said his lawyer, Li Dunyong, and
may not have been prosecuted at all.
But Xinjiang, the tense northwestern region where most
Uighurs live, has been enveloped in recent years in a vast
dragnet of police surveillance , which authorities insist is
needed to root out separatism and Islamic extremism.
Zhang, who moved to Xinjiang from central Henan province
more than a decade ago in search of work, wondered in his
social media posts whether these policies were stoking
resentment among Uighurs.
