Burlingame ice rink proposed

Nonprofit Mid-Peninsula Ice Rink Foundation seeks skating for Golf Center site
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Faced with the closure of the San Mateo

and Belmont ice rinks, a group of advocates
have made a formal proposal to create a new
facility in Burlingame.
The newly formed nonprofit MidPeninsula Ice Rink Foundation announced it
submitted a formal application to redevelop
city-owned, and recreationally-zoned, land

at the Burlingame Golf Center site.

The city is seeking either a new manager
for its driving range or proposals for a new
recreational or entertainment use at the 12acre site in Bayside Park on Anza
Boulevard. Now, the nonprofit is hoping to
rally support to create a new rink in the
region.
We have always believed that if we could
secure recreationally-zoned land along the
Peninsula working in partnership with

local communities that we would be successful in developing this project, said

Michael Strambi, a San Mateo resident and
president of the nonprofit.
The proposal includes an indoor facility
with at least two sheets of ice, locker
rooms, a training center, restaurant, parking and youth homework center, Strambi
said. The existing sports fields would
remain and the nonprofit would be
responsible for financing construction

and finding an operator.

Burlingame has received two other proposals for its former landfill site, from Top
Golf International and USBC Group. Staff is
reviewing the proposals and will schedule
interviews with the applicants before presenting the options to the City Council and
going through a public hearing process,
said Park and Recreation Director Margaret

MARK & TRACY PHOTOGRAPHY

Though a massive development stands to forever alter the

landscape near Oyster Point, South San Francisco officials
would like to keep intact an agreement for running the adjacent marina.
The South San Francisco City Council discussed during a
study session Wednesday, Nov. 30, opportunities to alter,
terminate or extend the existing joint powers agreement
with the San Mateo County Harbor District overseeing
Oyster Point Marina/Park operations.
With the existing agreement set to expire in 2026 and 2
million square feet of biotechnology office space proposed
nearby, officials felt it was due time to examine the future of

Magic happens in Hillbarn

Theatres Mary Poppins
Great holiday fare for all ages in energetic production
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Hillbarn Theatre creates magic with

Mary Poppins, the stage musical
version of the beloved 1964 Walt
Disney film.
Even though Hillbarns small space
doesnt allow for spectacular special
effects, director Dan Demers, his cast

and crew are so deeply invested in the

show that the audience can use its
imagination to envision whats happening.
For example, in the Lets Go Fly a
Kite sequence, theres only one small
kite at the end of a short rope.
However, other characters act as if
theyre flying kites, creating the illusion of many more than one.

Teamwork fuels a holiday celebration

Redwood City civic groups collaborate to

By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Arctic charm will descend upon downtown

Redwood City this Saturday as the city and
key community organizations collaborate
to welcome visitors to its annual
Hometown Holidays celebration.
The event will take place this Saturday,
Dec. 3, from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. at
Courthouse Square.
The family-oriented programming will
bring the holidays to life with live entertainment and ample opportunities for visitors to check items off their holiday shopping lists. This years event will feature free
photos with Santa, a snow lot, artisan vendors and live entertainment on the
Courthouse Square stage. The afternoons
events include a childrens parade, treePHOTO COURTESY OF LAUREN SPINELLI

facade.
The Redwood City Downtown Business
Group led the effort to plan this event with
support from the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department. The
department contributed public safety and
waste management support. Chris Beth, the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services
director, welcomed the Downtown Business
Groups leadership in coordinating this
event.
With the city putting on so many events
on our own, its great to have a partnership
with another group that is really running the
show, he said.
Nina Kadera and her husband Keith Kadera
of the Downtown Business Group have been
working on this event for more than 10
years.
This is a group of volunteers. We give

our hours to create a not-for-profit event for

the public, said Kadera.
This year, event organizers called upon
the
Redwood
City
Improvement
Association, also known as the RCIA, to
contribute $27,000 toward the purchase of
red, green and white LED lights for a new
tradition, the lighting of two, large
Redwood trees in Courthouse Square. The
tree-lighting is slated to be the highlight of
the event, replacing the fireworks show that
had served as the parades grand finale in
previous years. The fireworks show was discontinued due to increased popularity of the
event as well as noise and safety considerations.
Eric Lochtefeld, an RCIA board member
and co-owner of the Fox Theatre, said that
the RCIA is focused on projects that
enhance the citys beautification efforts and
contribute to order in the city. Ideally, the
groups investments pay off over a number
of years, he said.
We like to spend money on things that
will last a long time, he said. What we
really spent money on is lights for 10
years.
The days culminating event, a Magic
Lantern show on the History Museum, will
showcase another one of the RCIAs longterm investments: the projection equipment
and sound system behind its Tuesday light
shows in Courthouse Square.
The RCIA owns that equipment and it has
value for years. What you have is this amazing light show and its creating vibrancy
every Tuesday night.
Kadera says the event has historically
attracted over 5,000 guests, and one year
brought in a record high of 12,000. Visit

California seeks to block
state-employee strike on Monday

Californias new conservation plan includes creating customized water-use limits for urban water districts, so that arid Palm
Springs, for example, would have a different amount of water budgeted than San Francisco.

States new water conservation

plan focuses on cities and towns
By Ellen Knickmeyer
and Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO California officials

crafting a new conservation plan for
the states dry future drew criticism
from environmentalists on Thursday
for failing to require more cutbacks of
farmers, who use 80 percent of the
water consumed by people.
Gov. Jerry Brown ordered up the
state plans for improving long-term
conservation in May, when he lifted a
statewide mandate put in place at the
height of Californias drought for 25percent water conservation by cities
and towns.
Ben Chou, a water-policy analyst
with the Natural Resources Defense
Council, criticized state planners for
not mandating any new water-savings

by farm water districts.

Theres been a huge difference all
along in what urban water districts
have been required to do and what ag
water districts are required to do
regarding conservation, Chou said.
Under the governors order, state
agencies this week released the plan
for a long-term water diet for
California. They anticipate climate
change to cause the Sierra Nevada
snowpack one of Californias
largest sources of water to decline
by half by the end of the century.
The plan includes creating customized water-use limits for urban
water districts, so that arid Palm
Springs, for example, would have a
different amount of water budgeted
than foggy San Francisco. City water
districts would have until 2025 to fully
set and meet the budgets, and risk state
enforcement if they fell short.

Other changes for urban water districts in this weeks proposal include a
new focus on fixing leaks that drain
away upward of 10 percent of
processed water. And cities and towns
would be required to draft contingency
plans for droughts up to five years, up
from the current requirement for a
three-year supply of water.
But critics say the plan does little to
address Californias $47 billion agricultural industry, which leads the
nation, growing nearly half of the
fruits, nuts and vegetables produced in
the United States.
Diana Brooks, head of water efficiency at the Department of Water
Resources, which oversees farm water
use, said the proposal would require
agricultural water district managers to
keep better track of how their water is
being used, and better think through
possible steps for saving water.

UCs 10 schools will not aid federal agencies on immigration

without court orders or cooperate with
any federal effort to create a national

since the election of Donald Trump, who
made illegal immigration a key point of
his campaign.

The new measures mark the first formal system-wide policy approach to
federal immigration issues, UC spokeswoman Dianne Klein said Thursday.
Earlier this month, California State
University Chancellor Timothy P.
White made a similar pledge that its 23
campuses would remain safe and welcoming for all students and would not
help local, state or federal authorities
enforce federal immigration laws.

SACRAMENTO A state board that oversees labor

relations asked a judge Thursday to prohibit Californias
largest public-employee union from encouraging some of
its members to participate in a one-day strike planned for
Monday.
The Public Employment Relations Board acted in
response to a request by Gov. Jerry Browns administration, which last month asked the board to seek an order
blocking a strike by all 95,000 state workers who are
members of the Service Employees International Union.
The board instead asked to block about 6,000 members
of the local who are deemed essential to public health or
safety. Those include nurses, cooks and janitors who
work at state mental hospitals, prisons, veterans homes,
care centers for the disabled and schools for the deaf and
blind.
A hearing was scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The state will ask the judge to block a strike by all
workers or, failing that, to add more employees to the list
of essential personnel, said Joe DeAnda, a spokesman for
the California Department of Human Resources.
A spokesman for the union, Mike Roth, said he could
not immediately comment on the filing.

Court revives lawsuit against

California bullet stamping law
SAN FRANCISCO Gun manufacturers have the right
to present evidence supporting their claim that technology does not exist to comply with a California law requiring new models of semi-automatic handguns to stamp
identifying information on bullet casings, a state appeals
court said Thursday.
The ruling by the 5th District Court of Appeals in
Fresno overturned a lower court ruling rejecting a lawsuit
by two firearms trade associations that challenged the
law.
The appeals court sent the case back to the lower court
for further consideration.
It would be illogical to uphold a requirement that is
currently impossible to accomplish, Justice Herbert
Levy wrote for the appeals court.
Supporters of the law signed by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger in 2007 touted it as the first such law to
go into effect in the nation and said it would help law
enforcement solve gun crimes by allowing them to link
bullet casings to guns.

White House announces
support for women in military draft
WASHINGTON The Obama administration declared its
support Thursday for requiring women to register for the
military draft, a symbolic but significant shift that reflects
the U.S. militarys evolution from a male-dominated force
to one seeking to incorporate women at all levels.
President Barack Obama has been considering whether to
adopt the position since last December, when Defense
Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military to open all jobs to
women, including the most arduous combat posts. Ned
Price, a spokesman for the White Houses National Security
Council, said Obama believes women have proven their
mettle, including in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As old barriers for military service are being removed,
the administration supports as a logical next step
women registering for the Selective Service, Price said,
using the formal name for the military draft.
The White House emphasized that the administration
remains committed to an all-volunteer military meaning
women, like men, wouldnt be forced to serve unless there
were a national emergency like a major world war.
Changing the policy would require an act of Congress, and
there are no signs that lawmakers plan to move swiftly to
alter the law.

A clear shot police kill suspect, rescue children

SEATTLE A Washington state police officer responding to a domestic violence call was fatally shot and his fellow officers were still taking fire as they removed him
from a home, beginning an 11-hour standoff during which
authorities say the gunman used two young children as
human shields.
The fallen officer, Reginald Jake Gutierrez, had served
with the department since 1999 and was highly respected
and experienced, Tacoma Police Chief Donald Ramsdell told
reporters Thursday.
Dozens of officers had surrounded the home in Tacoma on
Wednesday night, urging nearby residents of the working
class neighborhood of single-family homes to shelter in
place.
Early Thursday, authorities say a deputy got a clear shot
and killed the suspect as officers rescued an 8-year-old girl
and a 6-year-old boy.
Pierce County sheriffs spokesman Ed Troyer said the
gunman had refused to surrender during negotiations. His
name was not released.

Death toll from Tennessee wildfires increases to 11

By Adam Beam
and Jonathan Mattise
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GATLINBURG, Tenn. Crews discovered the remains of more people as

they searched the rubble of wildfires
that torched hundreds of homes and
businesses near the Great Smoky
Mountains, bringing the death toll to
11, officials said Thursday.
Authorities set up a hotline for people to report missing friends and relatives, and after following up on dozens
of leads, they said many of those people had been accounted for. They did
not say whether they believe anyone
else is still missing or may have died.
I think its fair to say that the
search is winding down, Sevier

County Mayor Larry Waters said. And

hopefully we will not find any more.
He said the searches would likely be
completed Friday.
Nearly 24 hours of rain on
Wednesday helped dampen the wildfires, but fire officials struck a cautious
tone, saying people shouldnt have a
false sense of security because months
of drought have left the ground bonedry and wildfires can rekindle.
The trouble began Monday when a
wildfire, likely caused by a person,
spread from the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park into the
tourist city of Gatlinburg as hurricaneforce winds toppled trees and power
lines, blowing embers in all directions.
We had trees going down every-

where, power lines, all those power

lines were just like lighting a match
because of the extreme drought conditions. So we went from nothing to
over 20-plus structure fires in a matter
of minutes. And that grew and that
grew and that grew, Gatlinburg Fire
Chief Greg Miller said.
More than 14,000 residents and visitors in Gatlinburg were forced to evacuate, and the typically bustling tourist
city has been shuttered ever since. At
least 700 buildings in the county have
been damaged.
Gatlinburg is the people; thats
what Gatlinburg is. Its not the buildings, its not the stuff in the buildings, Mayor Mike Werner said.
Were gonna be back better than ever.
Just be patient.

Trumps thank you tour

gets off to raucous start
By Jonathan Lemire

Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Trumps tariffs on imports could be costly

By Paul Wiseman
and Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON American consumers and businesses would pay

literally if President-elect Donald
Trump followed through on his campaign pledge to slap big taxes on
imports from China and Mexico.
Trump said during the campaign
that hed impose tariffs of 35 percent
on Mexican imports and 45 percent
on Chinese imports to protect
American jobs from unfair foreign
competition. Companies that import
those goods would pay the tax at the
border.
Many of those firms would likely
try to heap as much of the cost as
possible on their customers. The
result is that American consumers
could end up paying more for foreignmade clothing, tablet computers and
other electronics.
A 45 percent tariff on Chinese-

made goods could drive up U.S. retail

prices on those goods by an average
of about 10 percent, Capital
Economics
has
calculated.
Consumers would find it hard to
escape the price squeeze.
There are few alternative sources
for the main products the U.S. buys
from China, says Mark Williams,
Capital Economics chief Asia economist. He notes, for example, that
China supplies about 70 percent of
the worlds network equipment, cellphones, laptops and tablet computers.
Since Trumps election, his team
has de-emphasized the use of tariffs,
describing them as a potential tool to
be used to pry concessions from
Americas trading partners.
Everybody talks about tariffs as
the first thing, Wilbur Ross, an
investment banker who is Trumps
choice for Commerce secretary, told
CNBC Wednesday. Tariffs are part of
the negotiation.

CINCINNATI Donald Trump

returned to his campaign roots
Thursday in his first major public
appearance since Election Day, resembling the pugnacious, brawling campaigner more than the traditional president-to-be as he held court in front of
thousands of adoring fans and even
announced a Cabinet pick from the
stage.
Trumps first stop on this Thank
you tour to salute his supporters was
in Ohio and, ever the showman, he
made the surprise announcement that
he will be offering the post of Defense
Secretary to retired Marine Corps Gen.
James Mattis. Trump said he was supposed to unveil that Monday, so he
jokingly warned the Cincinnati crowd
to not tell anyone.
The raucous rallies during the Trump
campaign road show often had the feel
of a rock concert, and Thursday night
in Cincinnati had all the hallmarks of
a reunion tour: Trump took a veiled
swipe at fellow Republicans. He
remembered his general election foe
by joking, We had fun fighting
Hillary, didnt we? He boasted about
size of his victory and repeatedly
bashed the media. Protesters briefly
interrupted the proceedings. And the
crowd chanted Build the Wall and
Lock Her Up.
The president-elect had eased up on
those campaign promises recently,
suggesting the U.S.-Mexico border
wall could be part-fence and indicating
no willingness to pursue criminal
charges against Democratic opponent
Hillary Clinton.
Perhaps befitting an encore presentation, the downtown arena that Trump
packed in October drawing a crowd
that was one of the loudest of the campaign was only about half-full
Thursday night. But the thousands who
were there cheered Trump as he declared
to restore American to greatness, saying, Now is not the time to downsize
our dreams.

Around the nation

To move into White House,
Trump may have to dump D.C. hotel
NEW YORK Donald Trump may have to give up one
property on Pennsylvania Avenue if he wants to move
into another down the street.
One is the newly opened, glittering jewel in the president-elects hotel empire. The other, of course, is the
White House.
Whether hell need to relinquish his stake in the Trump
International Hotel in Washington, D.C., could come
down to how a few words on a lease are interpreted.
Trump negotiated for more than a year to secure the
rights to use the government-owned building where the
hotel is now housed. The resulting lease itself runs for
hundreds of complicated and dreadfully dull pages.
Dull, save for clause 37.19 on top of page 103, which
has suddenly become the subject of great discussion
among experts on government contracting law, and not a
few Trump critics.
If some of the experts are correct a big if the first
43 words of this clause could force Trump to unload his
equity stake in the hotel just down the street from the
White House. The key part: No elected official of the
Government of the United States shall be admitted to
any share or part of this Lease.

Some welcome Pence to new

neighborhood with gay-pride flags
WASHINGTON Some of Vice President-elect Mike
Pences new Washington neighbors are welcoming him to
the area with gay-pride flags.
WJLA-TV reports that several people on Pences new
block have hung rainbow pride flags to show their displeasure about his positions on LGBT issues.
Pence is living in the neighborhood during the transition before he moves into the vice presidents mansion on
the grounds of the Naval Observatory next year.
LGBT activists have criticized Pence for a religiousobjections law he signed as Indiana governor that they
said could sanction discrimination against gay people.
IIsle Heintzen is one of Pences new neighbors.
Heintzen says the flag was designed to be a respectful
message expressing her disagreement with Pences
thinking.

Wisconsin election recount

begins; Michigans is challenged
MADISON, Wis. The tedious task of recounting
Wisconsins nearly 3 million votes for president began
Thursday with scores of hastily hired temporary workers
flipping through stacks of ballots as observers watched
their every move.
The action in Wisconsin could soon be duplicated in
Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was pushing for recounts. Donald
Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton in all three states,
but recounts were not expected to flip nearly enough votes
to change the outcome in any of the states.

BART service cuts

considered for Transbay
Tube seismic upgrades
The BART Board of Directors awarded a $267 million contract Thursday
for seismic retrofits to the Transbay
Tube, work that could cause service disruption to riders between Oakland and
San Francisco for more than two years.
While BART officials stressed that
the 3.8-mile tunnel can currently withstand a large earthquake, the proposed
upgrades would make it able to withstand the kind of catastrophic earthquake only expected to hit the Bay
Area every 500 or 1,000 years.
The work would involve installing
better interior liners as well as the
installation of a new pumping system.
The $267, 083, 110 contract was
awarded to the lowest of three bidders,
a joint venture of Oakland-based
Shimmick
Construction
and
Pleasanton-based
California
Engineering Contractors. Funding for
the project will primarily come from
earthquake safety improvement bonds
authorized by voters in 2004.
Work on the upgrades would begin in
July 2018 and could take up to two and
a half years. But BART management
said it could go faster if there are temporary cuts to service at night and
early in the morning.
The work would take place during the
overnight hours before service opens
Monday through Friday, but to extend
the available working hours, the
agency is considering having only a
single track open in the tube after 9:30
p.m. and to open service an hour later,
at about 5 a.m.
The reduced service could help the
work be completed four months faster
and save nearly $15 million but would
affect thousands of daily riders.

Menlo Park hires

20 firefighters this year

Caltrain seeks to
prevent suicides through
crisis support text service

The Menlo Park Fire District hired

20 new firefighters and firefighter
paramedics this year, marking the
largest, single most aggressive hiring
effort since at least the 1980s, if ever,
Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman said
Wednesday.
Nine of the new firefighters graduated from the County Fire Academy this
week and will soon be assigned to one
of the stations in Atherton, East Palo
Alto, Menlo Park or unincorporated
San Mateo County.
Fire District officials held off on hiring new employees during the economic recession, Schapelhouman
said.
Weve been working hard to catch
up to where we needed to be on staffing
by hiring the best qualified individuals
we could find for this organization,
Schapelhouman said in a statement.
The Fire District spends about
$4,100 on the hiring process for each
candidate, including $1,402 for entrylevel fire academy, $975 background
checks and $900 on medical and physiological exams.
The district provides fire academy
graduates with $12, 353 in safety
equipment, including uniforms, wildland firefighting equipment and
breathing equipment, Schapelhouman
said.
The starting salary for a Menlo Park
firefighter is $173,779 with benefits,
and $186,747 for a firefighter-paramedic.
The districts turnover rate is less
than 1 percent, Schapelhouman said,
adding that most firefighters serve in
the district for at least 30 years.

Caltrain is the first rail service to

partner with a national nonprofit that
assists people who are having suicidal
thoughts through text messages.
The train service has seen dozens of
intentional deaths on its right-of-way
throughout the years, including 17 of
the 20 track fatalities in 2015 being
ruled as suicides, Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew said.
We realize that there is a problem.
Most times they are intentional acts
and not accidents, she said.
Caltrain is one of many Bay Area
groups announced Thursday as a partner with Crisis Text Line, a national
nonprofit that guides people in crisis
24/7 over text messages, with more
than 25,000 conversations in the Bay
Area since its 2013 launch.
The texting service supplements an
800 number displayed for riders if
theyre feeling depressed, having suicidal thoughts or have a mental disorder, Bartholomew said.
While the agency cant stop all
deaths on its tracks, it has worked to
help the public through its suicide prevention initiatives, she said.
Beginning Monday, Caltrain commuters can expect to see more signs on
platforms and trains displaying the
nonprofits text message service,
Bartholomew said.
Anyone seeking help in a crisis can
contact Crisis Text Line by texting
BAY to 741741. Those interested in

HOPE Act will help
patients with Alzheimers
Editor,
Im writing to thank U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier for helping to win a
huge improvement in care for the millions of Americans living with
Alzheimers disease through her cosponsorship of the HOPE for
Alzheimers Act.
Both my mother and mother-in-law
have late-stage Alzheimers.
Because Alzheimers is so poorly
understood, care planning is crucial
to give people living with it, and
their families information on available treatments, clinical trials and
local support services that can
improve the entire familys quality of
life.
On Nov. 3, the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services nalized its
decision to pay for assessment and
care planning for patients newly
diagnosed with Alzheimers disease
and other cognitive impairments,
which goes into effect next year.
Finally, people being diagnosed with
Alzheimers disease will get a professional care planning consultation as
a routine follow up to their diagnosis,
instead of being left to gure out how
to deal with this devastating, lifealtering disease on their own. Proper
care planning results in fewer hospitalizations, fewer emergency room
visits and better medication management, all of which improve the quality of life for both patients and caregivers while keeping health care
costs down.
CMSs decision is a direct response
to the huge bipartisan support in
Congress for the HOPE Act, which
called for Medicare to cover
Alzheimers care planning, and I want
to publicly thank the congresswoman
for her role in making it happen.

Quote of the day

Editor,
Quote of the day: We can have
democracy in this country or we can
have great wealth concentrated in the
hands of the few, but we cant have
both. Justice Louis D. Brandeis.
Most Americans still havent
recovered from the Great Recession.
Wealthy Americans, on the other
hand, are doing better than ever. After
the recession hit, the top 1 percent
captured an incredible 91 percent of
the nations income growth. Our
nations 20 wealthiest individuals, a
group small enough to t in a single
Gulfstream jet, have more wealth than
the bottom half of the entire U.S.
population.

Gov. Browns legacy

Editor,
While Gov. Jerry Brown is waiting
for some big issue to dene his legacy, there is a very straightforward
action he could take that would assure
his legacy. Gov. Brown couldmandate that all current state vehicles be
replaced by all-electric vehicles by
2021, cars by 2019 and all vehicles
by 2021.
This action would reduce the cost of
maintenance of gas and diesel vehicles,eliminate state vehicle
pollutionand generate revenue to
help pay for the program. The state
workers who currently maintain gas
and diesel vehicles could to trained to
design, build, install and maintain
solar-powered recharging stations
across the state. This single action
would decrease vehicle pollution,
generate revenue for the state, encourage electric vehicle production and
set the standards for the other states
to follow.

Mysterious whistle
Editor,
In reference to the letter by William
Kelsey (Mysterious Whistle) published in the Daily Journal Nov. 14,
regarding hearing an old time quittin time factory whistle, I hear it as
well in North Central San Mateo near
the Congregational Church.
The whistle actually emanates from
the northwest in Burlingame
(although it is probably heard in
most all directions). I know where it
comes from, but am not authorized to
say. In any case, its not very loud
and doesnt last long. Its just a vestige of an era long passed.

Cigarettes versus marijuana

Editor,
Sir, I am greatly confused. This
country, since the 1940s when everyone smoked, has spent millions of
dollars encouraging everyone not to
smoke. In fact, there is not one public building where smoking is
allowed. Smoking caused cancer,
heart problems, skin to age, teeth to
fall out, etc.
Now, we have said that smoking
marijuana is OK. In spite of the fact
that marijuana is 20 times stronger
than any cigarette, it slows reaction
time, it affects decision ability and
inhibits problem-solving ability. It
increases the heart rate by 20 percent

Now that the Democrats have a

Legislature (Democrats get supermajority in the Nov. 30 edition of the

Self-absorbed liberal Democrats

Editor,
President-elect Trump won in a
landslide.Final results were 306 to
232 in Electoral College votes.
Liberal elite media suppress these
facts, just like Wikileaks exposed
CNN leaking debate questions to
Hillary, and the New York Times,
MSNBC and Politico providing nal
article drafts to Clinton to edit before
publication.
Liberal Democrats live in selfabsorbed, arrogant and pompous bubbles, particularly in the snobbish San
Francisco Bay Area. But, according to
the Economist, 80 percent of America
is Republican, while Democrats exist
only on the two coasts. Go ahead,
call a percentage of America
deplorables racists, sexists,
homophobes, whatever throw your
tantrums, trash cities, burn American
ags, whine and dont look within, ever. Dont look outside your bubble and your liberal echo chamber
because that would require humility
and self-awareness to know that,
Hey, maybe Im not always right,
and maybe everyone else isnt always
wrong.
How you lose shows your character,
or lack thereof.

First Avenue, and

the march of time
I

often wondered who Little Bobby Duncan was. And

maybe even what hes doing now. Walking along
First Avenue in San Mateo, Id see the mural by the
train station of what I initially thought was Abraham
Lincoln leading a team of horses next to a old-style train
and saw three names scrawled along the bottom. One was
Little Bobby Duncan. Was he really little, or just little at
the time? Is he big now? Ill likely never know.
Turns out there was a bit more to the mural than I once
thought. It wasnt Abraham Lincoln at all, but rather it was
a depiction of William Ralston, who reportedly liked to
race trains from San Francisco all the way down the
Peninsula. Ralston, he of Ralston Avenue fame, and also
Ralston Hall, the mansion whose home is now Notre Dame
de Namur University, founded
the Bank of California, and
was one of the Founding
Fathers of the Peninsula. So
there was some history to that
mural.
I thought more about that
mural when it was announced
that it would be replaced with a
new mural. Seemed sad to me,
but the organizers of the mural
project had tried to contact the
original artist who reportedly
was not interested in rehabilitating it. It was also in poor
condition, with paint peeling.
And it happened to be on private property, so essentially
the owner could do what they wanted despite its place in
my conscious, and perhaps the collective conscious of San
Mateo.
Time marches on, however, and the new mural is excellent with notions of San Mateo old and new. My daughter loves it because she can point out things she recognizes and it also provided me with an opportunity to
explain private property rights and how sometimes things
change. In her mind, for the better. And she now has the
chance to say she remembers when that mural was painted
in 2016.
You will see some changes if you walk along First
Avenue. It is certainly not a very long street, maybe ve
blocks long reaching its ngertip from a section of residential neighborhood east of downtown through the very
heart of downtown. Its terminus is South Ellsworth
Avenue, where the City Hall campus once was on the west
side, with Fire Station 21 as the nal vestige of it. First
Avenue may not stretch for long, but it is the rst avenue
of the city and at the heart of its founding in the 19th century as a place of recreation for city folk.
On Delaware Street, the oldest house in the city sits
regally at the corner with its steamboat gothic facade
being painted from white to a mustard yellow. Across the
street is the former Wisnoms hardware once run by a
renowned San Mateo family. It is now Hassett Hardware, a
multi-generational hardware store with its origin in Palo
Alto, but now extending its family-run reach. One block to
the west is Ching Lee Laundry, shuttered since the end of
October after 112 years in the same location and 140 years
in San Mateo. It was last run by Jacque Yee, a scion of the
Yee family that started the business, and a woman with a
heart of gold. The business now sits empty, a testament to
changing times.
The mural, now new, welcomes visitors to the city and
residents alike as they make their way to and from work or
other obligations or activities. The station itself is relatively new, and not in its original location just to the
south, but now holds a tech company and a fondue restaurant, despite the original idea of having a book store or
cafe there. And at the corner of B Street is a doughnut shop
in a former video store, with the Dutch Van Dalen Scale
Co. tucked in the back with its display window of scales
and food machines across the street from a former livery
building, once run by the man who resided in that oldest
house in the city a few blocks back. At least the legend
goes.
The livery building that once held horses now holds
ofces and a soon-to-opened tness place, right across
from recently installed electric vehicle charging stations.
There is history around if you look for it, and sometimes
it takes a change, or a few changes, to make you appreciate
what once was, and how it evolves over time that constantly tick tick ticks around us and within us marking the
past, the present and making way for the future.
I wonder if a scribe stood looking at a wall at the tail end
of the Roman Empire admiring a new painting, while missing the old one, wondering about his own incarnation of
Little Bobby Duncan, and never even considering that the
city he loved all around him would one day be ruins. Or if
he did have that consideration, if he just appreciated it
while he could.

Oil and banks take Dow to new highs

companies plunged Thursday, and
high-dividend stocks also took
hefty losses as bond yields rose to
their highest level in more than a
year. But more big gains for bluechip banking and oil stocks pulled
the Dow Jones industrial average

Big names like Facebook and
Oracle fell as technology companies took their biggest losses in
two months. Rising bond yields
pushed income-seeking investors
away from real estate and utility
companies. Health care stocks
also slumped.
Banks continued to soar as
investors expect them to make
bigger profits on loans as interest
rates rise. Oil prices climbed for
the second day after the countries
of OPEC agreed to trim oil production next year.
Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist for Voya Investment
Strategies, said a focus on

after announcing the company
will keep some operations at the

Four changes shoppers will see as they buy on their phones

By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Shoppers buying on their

phones this holiday season will see new
ways stores are making it easier and faster
as they try to lock in sales before people
swipe to the next site.
Its not just a shoppers tool, said
Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst and director at Adobe Digital Insights, the research
arm of Adobe Systems. Its now so embedded in our existence we dont even think
about the fact that we pulled out our phone
and bought things.
Mobile shopping accounted for $4.61
billion in sales from Thanksgiving through
Monday, according to Adobe Digital
Insights.

Four ways smartphones are changing the way people shop

MORE IMPULSE BUYING: Mobile shopping entices people
to buy right when theyre thinking about it, Gaffney said,Its
this sense of urgency. She noted that retailers that had more
mobile traffic enjoyed a 30 percent increase in online
revenue.
Retailers need to make it easier to find items so shoppers
dont quickly move on.
They want it fast, said Peter Cobb, co-founder and executive
vice president of eBags, which says mobile accounted for 43
percent of visits and 20 percent of sales for the five-day
period. The handbags and luggage site now highlights the
top five sales hits to save people from sorting through 90,000
products.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which has worked to improve its app
including the browse feature, said 70 percent of
Walmart.com traffic and 60 percent of orders Thursday and
Friday were driven by mobile devices.
FOCUSED ON DEALS: Even in an improving economy,
shoppers are fixated on deals and mobile phones make it
easier to grab them.
Customers look to have spent nearly 3.5 percent less on
average for the four-day weekend starting Thursday than a

year ago, according to a survey conducted over the weekend

by the National Retail Federation trade group. Much of the
drop had to do with the heavy discounting shoppers
demand. The NRFs survey showed more than 36 percent of
shoppers said everything they bought this past weekend
was on sale, compared with 32.5 percent a year ago.
Retailers are shifting to a stream of discounts and alerts
during the entire week via email and social media. Toys R Us
is doing more flash sales, and eBags introduced a page called
Steals and Deals highlighting items that are heavily
discounted for a limited time.
Market Track, which monitored nearly 1,500 products online
from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, says stores
changed prices more often than last year, and more were
lowered than raised.
SEEKING SPEEDIER SERVICE: People buying on the go want
a swifter response when they need help.
When you have shoppers who are engaged, you have to try
to capture as much revenue as you can, said Kevon Hills,
senior vice president of operations at StellaService, which
tracks customer service for retailers and online companies.
Two years ago, 97 percent of retailers offered email as a way

HP Enterprise disputes
claims in Rhode Island lawsuit
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Hewlett Packard
Enterprise is defending itself against a lawsuit Rhode Island filed over an unfinished
computer system, saying the company has
spent nearly $34 million more than the state
has paid HP Enterprise to create the system
for the states Division of Motor Vehicles.
WPRI-TV reports that court documents
show the Palo Alto-based company says its
spent $46.9 million on the project since
2008, while the state has only paid it $13
million.
The state sued HP Enterprise last month
after the company threatened to walk off the
job unless it received more money. A judge
has ordered the work to continue for now.
Robert Hull, director of the state
Department of Revenue, said in a statement
this week that HP Enterprise needs to fulfill
an amended contract it signed last year to
complete the project by Sept. 28, at a price
tag of about $13.5 million after refunds. But
HP Enterprise interprets the contract differently, and the two sides have been in mediation.

Wells Fargo splits chairman,

CEO roles after sales scandal
NEW YORK Wells Fargo is splitting the
jobs of chairman and CEO and making other
major changes to the composition of its

to interact with customers, but that fell to 81 percent

heading into this holiday season, StellaService said. Some 90
percent use live chat, up from 80 percent two years ago. And
in 61 percent of chat interactions over the holiday weekend,
someone responded within 20 seconds, up from 45 percent
a year ago.
VISITING STORES FOR DIFFERENT REASONS: Even people
whod bought lots of items on their phones were spending
time in stores on Saturday and Sunday, said Marshal Cohen,
chief industry analyst at research firm NPD Group Inc.
In the past, consumers did their research online and then
purchased in-store, but brick and mortar stores are now
critical to consumers research needs, he wrote in a blog
post. He said consumers came and bought, impulsively and
socially.
Technology beyond shopping apps means people use stores
differently.
They do research online, compare prices, look for deals and
even try on an outfit and Snapchat it to a friend, all while in
the store, said Tom McGee, CEO of the mall group
International Council of Shopping Centers.
Theyre also using the phone to buy right in the store.

over sales practices.
The bank said Thursday it was amending

have to be independent directors, the bank
said.

The Menlo-Atherton volleyball team, PAL Bay and Nor Cal Division I champ, was led by the likes of outside hitter Jacqueline DiSanto, left, and setter

Bears, Knights vie for titles

M-A makes second-straight state final, Menlo in for first time since 2013
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Edison-Huntington Beach will be making its

first appearance in program history in the CIF
Division I state volleyball championship
when it meets Menlo-Atherton Friday night at
4 p.m. Despite the historic leap, Edison head
coach Matt Skolnik isnt surprised to see his
team playing on California high school volleyballs grandest stage.
I wasnt surprised, Skolnik said. Its

exciting to be here but we had a good team this

year.
Menlo-Atherton isnt surprised either. From
the outset of the season, the Bears set their
sights on returning to the state championship
match. Last year they reached the annual title
game at Santiago Canyon College in Orange,
being swept by Redondo Union, marking the
first time M-A has been swept in the playoff
match since 2011.
There were a lot of juniors on that team, MA setter Kirby Knapp said. So we wanted to do

it again this year.

M-A and Edison have similar experience at
the setter position.
No setter in the Central Coast Section has
been more productive than Knapp over the past
four years. The three-time all-Peninsula
Athletic League first-team setter cooled this
year, splitting time with senior Casey Olsen
for much of the regular season. Come the postseason though, the Bears have returned to their

should, once again, be right in the
mix for a Peninsula Athletic League
South Division title.
But even playing their best game,
the Vikings were destined to be in for
a tough time against St. Francis in the
Kelly Shea Gallo Shootout Thursday
in Millbrae.
Mills was hardly at its best against
the Lancers and the result was predictable: a 77-33 drubbing at the
hands of St. Francis.
We played like [garbage], said
Mills coach Dave Matsu. We played
a very good team. They have a lot of
talent. It was a great learning experience. You have to play hard all four
quarters.
Mills (2-1) played decent for about
a quarter-and-half: most of the first
quarter and the third, during which
Mills was outscored 37-23. In the second and fourth periods, however, St.
Francis had its way with the Vikings,
outscoring the host 40-10.
Were so young, said Matsu, who
added the Vikings have only three
seniors, to go along with four sophomore and two freshman.
The seniors know whats going
on, but everyone else, theyre trying
to figure this out, Matsu said.
Things started OK for the Vikings.
They won the opening tip and senior
wing Aubrie Businger scored the first
bucket on a driving layup just seconds
into the game. Senior center Zelie
Zshronack followed with a basket and
a long jumper from the right corner to
give the Vikings a 6-2 lead two minutes in. When Businger, who led
Mills with 15 points, knocked down
a 3-pointer at the 4:42 mark, the
Vikings held a 9-7 advantage.
Little did the Vikings know that
Busingers triple would be the only
made 3 of the game for them as they
finished 1 for 15 from behind the arc.

Rockets 132, Warriors 127

Raiders can thank GM

Houston ends Dubs McKenzie for rebuild

streak in double OT
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND James Harden

notched his fourth triple-double of
the season with 29 points, 15
rebounds and 13 assists, and the
Houston Rockets outlasted the
Warriors 132-127 in double overtime Thursday night to end Golden
States 12-game winning streak.
Harden put his team ahead on a 30footer with 3:12 left in the second
overtime and hit a pair of free throws
with 2:10 to go following a flagrant
foul on Draymond Green.
Eric Gordon followed Hardens
free throws with a floating jumper
and scored 23 off the bench as
Houston snapped an eight-game
skid to the Warriors, who lost MVP
Stephen Curry with 3:25 left in the
last extra session when he was whistled for a charge. Ryan Anderson
also scored 29 with five 3-pointers
and the teams combined to shoot 88
3s, 44 apiece.
Kevin Durant matched his season
high with 39 points to go with 13
rebounds. Green had 20 points, 15
rebounds and nine assists. Curry
scored his teams first six points in
the initial overtime and finished
with 28 points and five assists.
Durant also had three steals, three
blocks and a gorgeous give-and-go
to Green. Houston had an answer
each time and the Warriors couldnt
hit the big shots the way they usually do. Klay Thompson was 4 for 20,
3 of 13 on 3s, on the way to 15
points.
Houston snapped Golden States
seven-game home winning streak in
an entertaining rematch of the first
round of the playoffs, won in five
games by the Warriors, who also
beat the Rockets in a five-game

2015 Western Conference finals on

the way to their first championship
in 40 years.
The Warriors hadnt lost in Oracle
Arena since a 129-100 seasonopening rout by San Antonio on
Oct. 25 and Golden State has
only lost two regular-season games
at home in each of the past two seasons.
Harden shot 8 for 23, 2 of 11 on
3s and 11 for 14 from the free throw
line.
If you send him to the line 15-18
times you probably deserve to
lose, Warriors coach Steve Kerr
said beforehand, actually imitating a
reach in with his hand as what not to
do.
Anderson shined in his first game
with the Rockets back in the Bay
Area where he starred collegiately
for California, hitting the go-ahead
free throws with 22.7 seconds left
after beating the shot clock buzzer
with a baseline 3-pointer and another late field goal
Durant blocked a shot by Harden
midway through the opening period
and the ball came out well past the
free throw line, leading to Andre
Iguodalas driving, one-handed slam
moments later. Iguodala, the 2015
NBA Finals MVP, had another productive night off the bench with 10
points, five assists and four boards.

Tip-ins
Warri o rs : Since coming West in
1962-63, the Warriors are 10-14 in
double overtime. ... It was Golden
States first double-OT game since
Dec. 11 last year at Boston and first
at home since Nov. 10, 2012, vs.
Denver. ... Golden State had 31
assists for its NBA-leading 13th
game with 30 or more.

ALAMEDA Reggie McKenzie

took a methodical approach to
rebuilding the Oakland Raiders
when he was hired as general manager in 2012.
He spent most of his first two seasons dismantling the roster to get
the salary cap in order after years of
mismanagement by late owner Al
Davis before building the team back
up again starting with the 2014 draft
that netted franchise quarterback
Derek Carr, elite pass rusher Khalil
Mack and other key pieces.
The process has paid off handsomely. McKenzies Raiders are off
to a 9-2 start this season and stand
in first place in the AFC West and
tied for the top record in the conference with New England. Oakland is
assured of its first winning record
since 2002 and is closing in on
clinching a playoff berth for the
first time since that season, when
the team went to the Super Bowl.
We feel good about where we
are, McKenzie said Thursday. We
think we built this thing to last.
But the speed of the turnaround
from an 0-10 start in 2014 to possible Super Bowl contender two years
later is somewhat staggering and a
credit to the job McKenzie did building a roster and hiring Jack Del Rio
as coach in 2015.
All but three of the teams starters
were added since 2014 with
McKenzie using successful high
draft picks like Carr, Mack and
Amari Cooper, key free agents like
Michael Crabtree, Donald Penn,
Rodney Hudson, Kelechi Osemele,
Bruce Irvin and Sean Smith, and
numerous finds late in the draft and
off the street like David Amerson,

Perry Riley Jr., to build a team able

to compete with just about anybody.
We knew we had some pieces to
develop and if we could just add on
that, we felt like wed win some
ballgames, McKenzie said. We
had those guys in 2014, they were
young, being 0-10 is no fun, but we
were 3-3 at the end of that stretch
and we were moving in the right
direction.
It has all paid off this season as a
franchise that seemed to always find
a way to lose is pulling out close
games. Carr has led five fourth-quarter comebacks already this season
as the players and management are
confident each week that they will
find a way to win.
McKenzie said that started when
Del Rio decided to go for a 2-point
conversion and a win instead of
playing for overtime in a seasonopening 35-34 win at New Orleans.
As many heart attacks as Ive
had, absolutely, McKenzie said. It
goes without saying, the players,
you can feel it. They have an air

going to win and its good to be

The next step for McKenzie will
be figuring out a way to keep all his
young stars. He has structured most
of his free-agent contracts with a
pay-as-you-go philosophy meaning that the salary cap shouldnt
hinder the teams chances of retaining Carr, Mack and Cooper. Carr can
negotiate an extension this offseason and become a free agent in
2018, while Mack wont hit free
agency until the following year and
Cooper in 2020.
The premiere players will get
paid and we try to keep everything
intact as much as we can,
McKenzie said. But thats what
happens when youre talented players, play well and their contract
comes up a certain time to where
they can benefit from it, thats what
free agency is all about.
In other topics, McKenzie said
defensive lineman Mario Edwards
Jr. resumed workouts on the field
Thursday for the first time since
injuring his hip in the preseason
opener on Aug. 12.
Edwards was placed on injured
reserve with hopes that he would be
able to come back after about eight
weeks but the injury has taken
longer to heal than originally
thought. The next step will be to see
how Edwards responds to the workout before deciding whether to allow
him back to practice.
Its a day to day thing for him
now, McKenzie said. See how he
comes in in the morning after he did
some work today. Hes been working out. Hes had a good week.
McKenzie also had no update on
the status of suspended pass rusher
Aldon Smith, who is waiting to be
reinstated by the league after serving a one-year suspension for violating the substance-abuse policy.

DT Chris Jones earning more

playing time with the 49ers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. San Francisco 49ers

defensive tackle Chris Jones provided a nice
boost to the defense last week and coach
Chip Kelly said the third-year player has
earned more playing time.
Jones helped the 49ers hold Miami
Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi to just 45
yards on 18 carries in Jones first start and
first game being active since being signed
on Nov. 8 to replace injured defensive lineman Arik Armstead.
San Francisco allowed 100-yard rushers
for seven consecutive games prior to
Sundays game, a 31-24 loss.
I thought he did a really nice job, Kelly
said. He played 27 snaps, was positive on
24 of the 27. I think his background playing with the Patriots, being in Miami, hes
obviously well-coached. So, to get a player
of that caliber when we lost Armstead, it was
kind of a surprise to us but we were really
pleasantly surprised with what he had done
and hes earned playing time.
Jones said the defense has continued to
get better over the last few games as they
have focused on stopping the run.
Were doing some things different and I
think its really helping out, Jones said.
As you can see the defense, were getting
better each week.
The 49ers will face another tough running
back Sunday in the Chicago Bears Jordan
Howard. The rookie has rushed for 766 yards
this season and is averaging 5.1 yards a

carry. Jones said hes

impressed with what hes
seen from Howard and the
Bears offensive line so
far.
For just being a rookie (Howard) definitely
runs the ball really hard,
Jones said. On their
offensive line they have
Chris Jones
a lot of really wellcoached guys, I know they have some guys
that are down, but they have a lot of really
well-coached guys up front and they know
the scheme well.
Jones, who started the season with the
Dolphins, said he is excited to get another
opportunity to play and hopes an improved
run defense can lead the 49ers to some wins
during the final stretch of the season.
I love playing the game, Jones said. It
was great to get out there Sunday for the first
time in a few weeks and Im hoping that they
keep me going. But Im going to do whatever I can to help the team prepare to win.
Offensive lineman Joe Staley was
impressed with Jones effort in practice leading up to his first start. He said that it should
be a message to others on the team to continue to work hard and close the season
strong.
You can see that he wants it, Staley said.
It wasnt a surprise that he went out there
and played well. The way he practiced and
prepared, he was ready for his opportunity
when it came.

Washington hopes to ride

Pac-12 title to playoff berth
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Washington coach Chris

Petersen is happy to let others do the politicking and lobbying when it comes to the College
Football Playoff.
He believes what the fourth-ranked Huskies
do on the eld will speak loud enough.
Washington has its nal chance to state its case
Friday night in the Pac-12 championship game
against No. 9 Colorado.
I have condence that the powers that be
will get these things right, Petersen said. I
felt that way when I was at Boise and they usually did. Well see how this plays out.
Things are looking good for the Huskies (111, No. 4 CFP) after they moved up a spot in the
playoff rankings this week. One more win and
they will likely make the seminals in
Petersens third season at the helm.
Washington had not reached double gures in
wins for a season in the 13 years before
Petersens arrival.
But Petersen has built Washington into a
power just like he did at Boise State when he led
the Broncos to seven straight double-digit win
seasons and two BCS bowl games.
I expected to be good from the second we got
here, he said. I think thats what players
expect, I think thats what coaches expect, and
when its not like that, youre frustrated as all
get-out and trying to gure out why its not
right. With that being said, we all know it takes
some time to develop a program and how youre
going to do things.
Mike MacIntyre had a much tougher turnaround task with the Buffaloes (10-2, No. 8
CFP). Colorado was 25-61 in seven seasons
before MacIntyre arrived from San Jose State.
But he methodically rebuilt the program to
where it is now a surprise participant in the Pac12 title game with an outside chance of making
it to the playoff with a win over the Huskies and
some help elsewhere.

I just think a lot of people on the outside didnt expect us to be here, quarterback Sefo
Liufau said. They want UW for playoff implications or anything like that. Basically the most
important thing is what we want in the locker
room and we want to win.
Here are some other things to watch:

Big-time QBs
Both teams rely heavily on their quarterbacks. Washingtons Jake Browning was
selected as the top offensive player in the conference after throwing for a school-record 40
TDs and only seven INTs. Browning ranks
fourth in the FBS in passing efciency (181.6).
Colorados Liufau wasnt quite as efcient but
was almost as effective despite missing time
with an ankle injury. He threw for 2,150 yards
and 11 TDs and ran for 481 yards and seven
scores.

Dominant defense
The game features the top two defenses in the
conference with both the Huskies and Buffaloes
allowing just 4.7 yards per play. They are both
led by their secondaries with Washingtons
Budda Baker and Sidney Jones making rstteam all-conference and Colorados Chidobe
Awuzie and Tedric Thompson earning secondteam selections.

Take it away
Both teams have thrived on turnovers this
season. Washington led the nation with 30
takeaways and a plus-18 turnover margin.
Colorado was second in the Pac-12 at plus-10 in
turnovers.

On the grass
The Huskies will play their rst game of the
year on natural grass. The playing surface at
Levis Stadium has had issues with footing over
the years but has been better this season. With
the 49ers having been on the road last week, the
eld should be in good shape.

All-Star Game no longer counts

World Series home-field advantage will no longer hang on result of exhibition game
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The league that wins baseballs All-Star Game no longer will get
home-field advantage in the World Series,
which instead will go to the pennant winner
with the better regular-season record.
The change was included in Major League
Baseballs tentative new collective bargaining agreement and disclosed early Thursday
to the Associated Press by a person familiar
with the agreement. The person spoke on
condition of anonymity because details of
the deal, reached Wednesday evening in
Irving, Texas, had not been announced.

In addition, players and management

agreed the minimum stay on the disabled list
will be reduced from 15 days to 10.
Home-field advantage in the World Series
generally rotated between the leagues
through 2002. Baseball, led by thenCommissioner Bud Selig, and Fox television promoted the This Time It Counts
innovation after the 2002 All-Star Game in
Milwaukee ended in a 7-7, 11-inning tie
when both teams ran out of pitchers. Selig
was booed in his own Milwaukee backyard.
This energizes it. This gives them something to really play for, Selig said after
owners approved the change by a 30-0 vote
in January 2003. People pay a lot of money

to see that game. They deserve to see the

same intensity they see all year long.
Television people pay a lot of money for the
game. It was not and should not be a meaningless exhibition game.
What began as a two-year experiment was
extended. The American League won 11 of 14
All-Star Games played under the rule, and the
AL representative won eight World Series in
those years.
It will put back a little of the sizzle, San
Francisco Giants executive Larry Baer said
in 2003.
Under the new rule, a wild-card team could
have home-field advantage against a division winner.

As part of the changes for next year, players in the All-Star Game will have the incentive to play for a pool of money.
The DL change will allow teams to make
quicker decisions on whether to bring up a
roster replacement rather than wait to see
whether the injured player would be ready to
return to action in less than two weeks.
An international play plan is part of the
new agreement that includes a payment
schedule for potential games in Asia,
Mexico (and elsewhere in Latin America) and
Britain, plus U.S.-based special events such
as this years July 3 game between Atlanta
and Miami in a specially built ballpark on a
military base in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Tiger Woods returns with mixed bag and a 73

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASSAU, Bahamas Not only did Tiger

Woods return to golf Thursday, he returned to
being Tiger.
Just not for long.
Hardly looking like a player who had not
competed in 466 days, Woods ran off three
straight birdies with a variety of shots and was
tied for the lead in the Hero World Challenge as
he approached the turn.
Three shots in the bushes, one shot in the
water and a few fits of anger sent him toward the
bottom of the pack. A pair of double bogeys
over the final three holes ruined an otherwise
impressive return, and Woods shot 40 on the
back nine at Albany Golf Club and had to settle
for a 1-over 73.
He was in 17th place in the 18-man field.

Only Justin Rose had a

higher score.
Even so, Woods has reason to be encouraged. After
taking off 15 months to
recover from two back surgeries, he felt no pain or
limitations. His misses
were not big, just costly.
Tiger Woods And he was playing again.
It could have been
something really good, Woods said. I got off
to a nice, solid start and made a few mistakes
there. I didnt play the par 5s very well in the
middle part of the round and consequently, got it
going the wrong way. ... But all in all, I feel
pretty good. Im looking forward to another
three more days.
He was nine shots behind J.B. Holmes, who
opened with an 8-under 64 and had a one-shot

lead over Hideki Matsuyama, with U.S. Open

champion Dustin Johnson at 66.
Curiosity was greater than expectations for
Woods, who was coming off the longest hiatus
of his golfing life. Plagued by back problems
since 2013 when he was No. 1 in the world, he
finally shut it down after tying for 10th in the
Wyndham Championship on Aug. 23, 2015,
and then going through two back surgeries.
With high anticipation, he tugged his opening tee shot into the rough on the left edge of a
bunker and gouged that out to 15 feet for par.
Just like that, it all started to feel as though he
had never been away.
He also knew that with only a stiff tropical
wind behind him on three of the par 5s, scores
would be low.
For a short time, Woods seemed up to the
task. He hit a 5-iron from 231 yards just over
the green and passed his first test, a 30-yard

pitch-and-run and that checked slightly and

rolled out to a few feet from the hole for a birdie
. He faced a more difficult pitch up the slope on
the next hole and hit a chunk-and-run to 3 feet.
His confidence kept building the flop shot
from 40 yards to 5 feet for birdie on the par-5
sixth, the wedge to 5 feet for birdie on the seventh, and a 6-iron he struck so well on the par-3
eighth that he was asking for perfection. One
yard! One yard! he said as the ball was in the air,
and then settled 2 feet away.
At that point he was tied with Holmes.
But he flubbed a pitch on the par-5 ninth and
made bogey. Two holes later, he flared an iron
from the sandy waste area into a bush and had to
take a penalty shot, making another bogey on a
par 5. Woods was still hanging around in the
middle of the pack when he hit 7-iron to 12 feet
on the par-5 15th and two-putted for birdie.
And then it all fell apart.

Gronkowski is a three-time AllPro.

Patriots Rob Gronkowski to

undergo back surgery Friday

Cowboys hold on against

Vikings for 11th straight win

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Rob

Gronkowskis season is likely over.
The New England Patriots tight
end was scheduled to have surgery
Friday for a herniated disk in his
lower back, the team said in a statement Thursday
night.
The team said
it doesnt expect
Gronkowski to
be able to return
this season, but
will await the
results of the
surgery before
making a final
Rob
Gronkowski determination.
The Super Bowl
is Feb. 5, should the Patriots get
that far.
Gronkowski sat out practice
Wednesday with what listed as a
back injury. He was absent from
practice again Thursday.
The Patriots said Gronkowski sustained a hit to the chest Nov. 13
against Seattle that resulted in a pulmonary contusion to his lung. He
received medical clearance to return
last week against the New York Jets
and experienced significant back
and leg pain.
Gronkowski has missed three
games this season. He has 25 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns. He also dealt with a hamstring injury in 2016.
The 2014 Comeback Player of the
Year, Gronkowskis career has been
plagued by injuries. A second-round
draft pick in 2010, he has had ankle
and knee surgery once, and three
operations on his forearm.
He has missed 20 games in his
career and played many others while
not 100 percent.

MINNEAPOLIS Dez Bryant

caught four passes for 84 yards and
the go-ahead touchdown in the
fourth quarter, helping the Dallas
Cowboys win their 11th straight
game with a 17-15 victory over the
Minnesota Vikings on Thursday
night.
Bryants 56-yard catch in the first
half set up Ezekiel Elliotts 1-yard
plunge. The receiver caught an 8yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter after a fumbled punt by
Minnesotas Adam Thielen.
Elliott rushed for 86 yards on 20
carries for the Cowboys (11-1).
They have the longest single-season winning streak in franchise history.
Sam Bradford threw a 3-yard
touchdown
pass
to
Jerick
McKinnon with 25 seconds to play,
but the 2-point conversion pass
failed. Bradford argued for a penalty
after he was hit in the face by a
defender, but there was no call for
the Vikings (6-6). Minnesota
played without coach Mike Zimmer
after he had emergency eye surgery
Wednesday night.
Dak Prescott was 12 for 18 for
139 yards passing for Dallas.
Bradford completed 32 of 45 passes for 247 yards, Danielle Hunter
had two sacks and Kai Forbath
kicked three field goals for
Minnesota, which has last six of the
last seven games after a 5-0 start.
Vikings special teams coordinator
Mike Priefer was elevated to head
coach for the game and it remains
unclear how long Zimmer will be
out. Minnesotas third-ranked
defense did their fiery leader proud,
holding the explosive Cowboys
offense to season lows in points,
yards (264) and first downs (13).

standard 5-1 offense with Knapp running
the attack. In Saturdays four-set victory
over Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills in the CIF
Nor Cal Division I finals, Knapp chalked up
41 assists.
Edisons third-year setter Lindsey Sparks
is also a veteran presence. While Edisons
Sunset League has yet to announce its allleague honorees for this season, Sparks a
third-year starter as a junior was one of
three Edison players to earn first-team allleague honors last year, along with senior
outside hitters Cassidy Dennison and
Hannah Phair.
Edison enters the state title game on quite
a tear having won 14 of its last 15 matches.
That loss came when the Chargers fell in the
Southern Section Division I quarterfinals to
Mira Costa-Manhattan Beach. Having
shared the Sunset League title with
Huntington Beach, each with 9-1 league
records, Edison downed the league rival in
the So Cal Division I finals in the third
meeting of the year between the teams.
Weve been playing some really good
volleyball so far, Skolnik said. Weve had
a good run.
M-A has been on an even more prolific
tear, winning 29 of its last 30 matches.
Getting bumped up to the CIF Nor Cal Open
Division playoffs by virtue of running
the table through PAL Bay Division play
with an undefeated 14-0 record for a thirdstraight league title the Bears only loss
since Sept. 8 came in its Nor Cal opener
against Notre Dame-Belmont, a team it had
defeated in tournament play two weeks
prior.
The Bears run such a balanced attack, both
outside hitter Jacqueline DiSanto and opposite hitter Eliza Grover were recognized as
co-PAL Most Valuable Players this year.
That balance has been on display throughout the postseason. In the Nor Cal Division
I finals against Oak Ridge, DiSanto totaled

a team-high 15 kills with Grover right

behind at 14.
DiSanto is anything but a typical outside
hitter. At 5-6, the senior is committed to
play Division I volleyball at University of
Michigan next season as a back-row specialist. She is a multi-faceted attacker, though,
who among PAL hitters struck the ball as
hard as anyone on back-row attacks this season.
Grover is in her first year playing right
side after dominating as a middle blocker in
previous seasons. The senior owns a powerful downhill-style swing and uses various
attacking angles to terminate. While she has
developed a wicked slide step, shes at her
most dangerous in putting the ball straight
down.
Shes definitely so reliable, Knapp said
of Grover. Im so happy to have her on the
team.

Menlo makes return to

state finals for first time since 2013
With the addition of the CIF Open
Division this season, the extra bracket has
caused the state championship format to be
extended to two days of matches. While M-A
plays for the Division I title Friday, Menlo
School returns to the Division IV championship stage for the first time since 2013 at
11 a.m. Saturday
The Knights who fell in the 2013 state
title match to Francis Parker-San Diego
will take the court against a similar opponent Saturday at Santiago Canyon College,
clashing with Point Loma-San Diego. Both
teams settled for second place in their respective private-school leagues. And both have
unconventional roster makeups for teams
competing for a state title.
Menlo is unconventional in the sense it
doesnt own a true outside hitter. With the
graduation of left-side hitter Maddie Stewart
in 2015, and the transition of current sophomore Sianna Houghton from solid attacker to
shining in a more defense-oriented role, the
Knights have run their attack more through
the middle and right side.
Menlo junior opposite hitter Ashley

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

Menlo senior middle blocker Mia Vandermeer, left, is a force on both sides of the net. Not
only does she lead the team in blocks, she is second on the team in kills.
Dreyer leads the team with 228 kills. Senior
middle Mia Vandermeer ranks second with
188. But a trio of sophomore left-side attackers have teamed to solidify Menlo across the
net with Grace King (186 kills), Selina Xu
(186 kills) and Houghton (177 kills) each
contributing.
Point Loma is unconventional in the sense

it has zero seniors on roster. Junior outside

hitter Charlie Eckstrom leads the Pointers
with 426 kills, junior Sophia Altobelli is the
serving leader with 70 aces, junior Rebecca
Nuanez leads with 99 total blocks and 416
digs, and junior setter Reese Turner leads the
6-2 offense with 569 assists, while freshman
setter Maggie Wolf has totaled 466 assists.

MILLS
Continued from page 11
behind the 3-point line. Overall, Mills shot
just 28 percent from the field ( 13 for 45).
St. Francis, after a bit of slow start, heated
up over the final four minutes of the opening
quarter. A Lydia Foust 3 gave the Lancers an
11-9 lead with 4:10 to play in the quarter an
advantage they would not give up. Fousts 3pointer was the first of three in row for St.
Francis, which got back-to-back treys from
Paige Uyehara.
St. Francis closed the first quarter on a 15-2
run to lead 22-11 at the end. The Lancers then
opened the second with 14 straight points to
take a commanding 36-11 lead with 3:41 to
play in the half.
Mills went nearly 10 minutes without a field
goal during than span and trailed 43-16 at
half.
In the second half, Matsu wanted his team to
work on its execution and it paid off. St.
Francis opened the third on a 6-0 run to
increase its lead to 49-16, but Mills finally
responded a 6-0 run of its own. Zshronack hit
a pair of free throws, Businger knocked down
a long jumper from the left corner and

Zshronack added a fast-break layup. When

Businger completed a coast-to-coast layup
with 3:31 left in the third, the Vikings were
actually outscoring the Lancers, 10-9.
But St. Francis closed the period by outscoring Mills 6-3.
In the fourth, things kind of fell apart for
Mills, as the Vikings struggled to even get
into their offensive sets. The Vikings turned
the ball over their first three possessions of
the quarter and finished with five over the final
eight minutes.
St. Francis also appeared to turn up the heat
defensively, coming up with eight steals in
the fourth as the Lancers outscored Mills 19-5
in the final period.
St. Francis had five players score in double
figures, with both Mia Grizelj and Adriana
Frazier each scoring 17 points apiece to lead
the Lancers.
While Matsu knows his players and
maybe even some parents may not truly
realize the worth of playing a team like St.
Francis, he does.
Its going to help us. It does no good to
play cupcakes, Matsu said. Its our first
loss. Were 2-1. Its not like were 0-3.
Better (to get blown out) in Game 3 than Game
23. Were playing (tough teams) to get ready
for CCS.

Sports brief
LeBron James chosen
Sports Illustrated
Sportsperson of Year
INDEPENDENCE,

LeBron James delivered on a promise and ended decades of Cleveland

sports misery in 2016.
For leading the Cavaliers to an
NBA title and ending the citys 52year title drought, James was chosen
Sports
Illustrateds
Sportsperson of the Year on
Thursday, joining Tiger Woods as
the awards only two-time winners
since its inception in 1954.
Im honored, James said following shootaround before the
Cavs hosted the Los Angeles
Clippers. Im more happy for my

family, my kids,
for my wife, my
mom, and for
my foundation,
for the kids that
I represent and
the kids that use
me as a role
model and an
LeBron James inspiration.
Appearing in
his sixth straight NBA Finals in
June, James rallied the Cavs from a
3-1 deficit to defeat the favored
Golden State Warriors, who won 73
games during the regular season but
couldnt put Cleveland away. James
scored 41 points in Games 5 and 6
and made a key block in the final
minutes of an epic Game 7, making
the Cavs the first Cleveland major
sports franchise to win a title since
the Browns in 1964.

Monster Beverage announced
last month that third quarter net

strategic partnership in 2015 that
gave the Coca-Cola Company a

The two companies share distribution networks.
Monster takes over for Sprint,
which inherited the NASCAR deal

Nextel has replaced cigarette

Co. , which had sponsored
NASCARs top circuit since 1971
under its Winston brand. That deal
ended in 2003 in part because of
the tobacco settlement with the
federal government that reduced
the industrys ability to advertise.
Thursdays announcement gives
NASCAR and Monster a little
more than two months to prepare
for the start of 2017 season,
which begins with the Daytona

French president rules out 2017 run to help boost Socialists

By Thomas Adamson and Sylvie Corbet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Frances President Francois

Hollande announced in a surprise televised
address Thursday that he would not seek a
second term in next years presidential election, acknowledging that his personal
unpopularity might cost his Socialist party
the Elysee.
I have decided not to be a candidate in the
presidential election, Hollande said in the
prime time slot, adding that he hoped by
stepping aside to give the Socialists a
chance to win against conservatism and,
worse still, extremism.
The 62-year-old president the countrys least popular leader since World War II
said he was conscious of the risks his

MARINA
Continued from page 1
the district-run marina on city land.
But with no experience in managing the
site offering a 455-boat slip marina, yacht
club, boutique hotel, 33-acre park and terminal for a commuter ferry, Vice Mayor
Pradeep Gupta said councilmembers favored
keeping the deal in place.
We are not in the business of running
marinas. The city has no appetite to take
over the operations of the marina, said
Gupta. So we want to evaluate extending
the date of the JPA termination.
A San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
report previously called for dissolution of
the district, citing dysfunction among officials leading to frequent personnel turnover
as well as a historic inability to hit performance benchmarks. Harbor District officials have taken issue with the report and
said there has been significant progress in
recent years.
But Gupta said South San Francisco offi-

successful candidacy.
Whats at stake is not
a person, its the countrys future, he said.
The
announcement
Thursday came just a few
days after Hollandes No.

Prime
Minister
Manuel Valls, said he was
ready to compete in
next months Socialist

primary.
In a written statement on Thursday night,
Valls praised Hollandes tough, mature,
serious choice.
Thats the choice of a statesman, he
said, without confirming if he plans to seek
the presidency himself.
cials did not agree with the grand jurys
position that the district should be disbanded and instead favored more partnership
going forward.
This flies in the face of the grand jury
report. We are not really agreeing with that.
But we want to talk to the Harbor District
about what they would like to do, he said.
The joint powers agreement could only be
terminated with mutual consensus. Should
the life of the agreement expire naturally,
operations of the marina would fall back on
the shoulders of the city. Gupta said
improvements could be made to the existing
agreement, but he would support the district
staying on board to run the marina.
No binding decision was made during the
most recent council meeting, but a subcommittee of councilmembers are slated to soon
convene with Harbor District representatives and further discuss future plans, said
Gupta.
Harbor District General Manager Steve
McGrath said he appreciated some of the
sentiments expressed by the council during
the discussion, but noted he believed it was
too early to tell what the discussion could

In his address Hollande avoided saying if

he would support Valls or any other candidate.
Hollandes popularity plunged soon after
he took power in 2012, and polls show
most voters dont want to see him stay in
office.
Voters expressed disappointment over
the lagging economy, higher taxes and the
pro-business shift Hollande adopted
midterm after first claiming as a candidate
his real adversary would be the world of
finance.
His image also suffered from personal
scandals. He broke up with ex-partner
Valerie Trierweiler amid reports that he was
having an affair with French actress Julie
Gayet, an episode later exposed in a stinging book by the former first lady.

Not only did Trierweiler reveal intimate

details of Hollandes infidelities, but she
also depicted the Socialist leader as someone who dislikes the poor a grave political sin for a left-wing leader.
The Socialist party has also been deeply
divided over Hollandes leadership from
within, with rebels within the party openly
criticizing his pro-business strategy and
calling for more left-leaning policies.
Two of his ex-colleagues, former
Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg and
former Education Minister Benoit Hamon,
have already announced they will run next
month.
Hollande faced the Dec. 15 party deadline
for entering the primary contest and was
expected to say in the coming weeks
whether he would run again.

portend for the future of the agreement.

I think it was a good, constructive session, he said. I think there is a long way
to go before we figure out really what the
next actions are.
Harbor District officials are slated to further discuss marina operations and the
agreement with South San Francisco during
an upcoming meeting, said McGrath.
The future of Oyster Point and the adjacent
marina came into focus following the
Greenland Group acquiring earlier this year
development entitlements to build a massive campus housing office along with
research and development space for life sciences companies.
Oyster Point Development, LLC has
pledged a willingness to pour $1.5 billion
into rejuvenating more than 80 acres or
property along the Bayshore east of
Highway 101, only a few miles north of San
Francisco International Airport.
As the private developer considers such a
sizable undertaking, South San Francisco
officials are also beginning to look for
opportunities to build on nearby city land,
said Gupta, who noted infrastructure work

must be completed to prepare the area.

With the developers interest in breaking
ground on the first phase of construction
soon, Gupta said he believed city officials
should begin preparing their own plans
quickly.
We have to pull up our socks and get
going on whatever we want to do, he said.
The city set aside $30 million in money
generated by the former redevelopment
agency dedicated to be paid in collaboration
with the builder toward infrastructure
improvements.
Gupta said the city is also interested in
building a hotel nearby housing between
150 and 160 rooms as well as potentially a
conference center to host community
events.
With the variety of projects coming down
the pipeline soon, Gupta said officials felt
it was imperative to touch base with their
partners operating the marina to assure all
parties are on the same page.
We have to talk to them and work with
them hand in hand so our progress and programs are not conflicting with their plans,
he said.

Jessica Chastain enlivens new

political thriller Miss Sloane
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Theres never a hair out of place in Miss

Sloane, a painstakingly slick political
thriller from director John Madden about a
brilliant lone wolf lobbyist consumed with
the win. Its a wannabe Aaron Sorkinmeets-Shonda Rhimes glimpse into the
hollow and cynical world of inside the beltway dealings from first-time screenwriter
Jonathan Perera thats never quite snappy,
insightful or salacious enough to be as fun
or damning as it should be.
All the pieces are there, especially in the

films subject the steely Elizabeth

Sloane (Jessica Chastain), a pill-popping
master manipulator who is always at the
ready with a perfect quip, biblical verse or
history lesson for the moment. Shes the
kind of do-it-all wonder woman who is just
as comfortable working a room of scuzzy
Washington insiders or pleading the fifth at
an intimidating congressional hearing as
she is directing a team of spooks to illegally surveil someone with a camera-equipped
cockroach.
Elizabeth Slones mantra is that lobbying
is all about foresight and making sure you
play your trump card after the other guys

play theirs. Our first glimpse of her in

action shows her willfully neglecting
Senate ethics rules by arranging some luxury travel for a congressman and his family
to try to sway him on a palm oil tax initiative. Shes a mercenary who is out for the
win at all costs, and shes the best at it.
But she also has principles, and leaves
her top firm for the opposition when a powerful gun group asks her to devise messaging to turn women against universal background checks for gun ownership. Her cavalier dismissal of a massive new client for
her firm enrages her boss, a scenery chewing Sam Waterston, and makes the audience

a little more intrigued about why this

woman does what she does.
Now fighting for the underdogs, an
increasingly obsessed, Elizabeth uses
everything at her disposal to try to ensure
that the background check bill passes, testing the loyalty and limits of those around
her (including the firms head played by
Mark Strong, and an ambitious protg in
Gugu Mbatha-Raw) with her sliding morality and deep distrust of others.
Relationships are nothing but arsenal (and
thus disposable) and shes the only one who

Latest rage in avocado

toast trend adds sweet
potato slices to the mix
By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sweet potato slices are the latest rage in

the avocado toast trend. If you are at all
involved with Pinterest, you know this
already. Pop slices of unpeeled sweet potato
in a regular old toaster and then top it with
healthy goodies like the very popular
avocado for a breakfast or snack filled
with slower carbs and healthy fats.
Ill admit, I was skeptical. But I decided to
take one for the team, and get to the bottom
of this sweet potato toast craze for the benefit of us all. I love the idea of getting some
extra vitamins (mostly A and B6) and minerals (mostly potassium and magnesium)
with my morning meal, so why not?
Here is what I found: I discovered that the
sweet potato really will cook in the toaster,
if you let it go through enough cycles.
However, a few of my slices got dried out
with all that toasting, and sides turned an
unpleasant shade of dull brown in some
cases.
I tried thinner slices, but they just
turned hard or fell apart. My solution?
Slice potato into 1/4-inch toasts and give
them a quick turn (30-60 seconds) in the
microwave wrapped in a damp towel. This
process barely started cooking the slices
while also infusing them with the
smidgen of moisture that made all the difference. The toasts still took 3-4 toasting cycles to cook, but retained their

color and pleasant texture.

On a purely subjective front, our household preferred using these little toasts to
hold sweet items like pear or banana slices
with yogurt or almond butter like little
handheld fruit pies.
Savory versions worked best when they
were combined with spice and acid to offset
the sweetness of the potato eggs with
hot sauce, avocado with chili oil and lime,
shredded pork curry, for instance were extra
tasty. But once we left the hot zone, we
found ourselves noticing the sweet potato
flavor too much to not regret the absence of
bread.
Dip your toe into this sweet potato toast
craze using our familys favorite a supersimple pear and yogurt combination that
reminded us all of a heavenly sour cream
apple pie. Feel free to swap out toppings,
or even toast up a bunch of toasts and serve
with a (spicy?) dip at your next party.

SWEET POTATO TOAST

WITH PEAR SLICES AND YOGURT
Start to finish: 10 minutes
Servings: 8 toasts
1 long orange-fleshed sweet potato, clean
and unpeeled, sliced into eight 1/4-inch
slices
1/2 cup reduced fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 pear, thinly sliced
ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon real maple syrup

Sweet potato really will cook in the toaster, if you let it go through enough cycles.
pinch salt
Lay a damp paper towel on a microwavesafe plate and lay out the sweet potato
slices. Cover with a second damp paper
towel. Microwave until slices barely begin
to soften and turn brighter orange, about
one minute. Blot with paper towel to
remove any extra moisture. Run the slices
through the toaster cycle until the potato is
softened, but not flimsy, about 3-4 cycles.
Let the slices cool a few minutes. Top with
yogurt, pear slices, a sprinkling of cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup and a tiny
pinch of salt. Pick up a mini-pie or two with
your hands and enjoy for breakfast, snack or

even dessert.
Other topping options: almond butter,
banana slices and chia seed; peanut butter
and honey; avocado, lime juice, hot sauce
and cilantro; hardboiled egg, tomato slices
and chopped cooked turkey bacon.
Cooks note: Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are often called garnet sweet potatoes or yams in American grocery stores.

Glomstead.
Since the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center rink was shuttered in 2013 and
Belmont Iceland closed earlier this
year, skating advocates and local
politicians have begun collaborating
on ways to keep ice on the Peninsula.
Officials with various cities and the
county have had preliminary discussions about potential opportunities to
collaborate with many noting it would
be ideal to find municipally-owned
land. Several acres are sought for at
least two sheets of ice to ensure it is
financially viable.
Burlingame Mayor Ann Kieghran
did not respond to requests for comment.
Councilman
Michael
Brownrigg said that hes looking forward to learning more about the
options for the site.
Speaking personally, I think that
we are a growing community, that we
have a lot of kids and young people
and people who want an active
lifestyle and that theres the opportunity, as the [request for proposal] suggests, for a terrific recreational use,
Brownrigg said. He added while the
city must be mindful of its budget, in
my opinion we should not let the revenue be the most important piece. I
think we should make the character and
quality of the service offering and what
brings the most value to Burlingame
residents the priority.
Constructing a new facility has been
estimated to cost between $12 million

and $16 million and Strambi said will

ideally involve a public-private partnership.
Strambi, along with Ray Miolla and
Tim Hennessey, have been working
behind the scenes for the last four
years in the wake of the Bridgepointe
rink closing. The city of San Mateo
has been wrestling with the centers
owner SPI Holdings, which seeks to
demolish the shuttered rink and create
more lucrative retail space instead.
After the city denied SPIs request, the
wealthy property owner returned with
an offer of $8 million in exchange for
being allowed to amend the sites master plan.
San Mateo Mayor Joe Goethals has
sought to work collaboratively with
neighboring cities, the county and
anyone interested in promoting recreation.
Ever since Bridgepointe closed,
theres been a huge demand for an ice
rink on the Peninsula. Belmont
Iceland also closed which increases the
demand, Goethals said. Ice rinks are
open 365 days a year, 21 hours a day.
Just like Bridgepointe was an
amenity that was enjoyed by the larger
region, I hope that this effort is successful because it will benefit thousands and thousands of kids and adults
and seniors.
San Mateo has yet to weigh in on
SPIs recent $8 million offer or formally discuss how the funds should be
spent. Advocates with the Save the

PLAY

Nevertheless, its McGinty as Mary

who holds the stage with her regal
presence and her characters seemingly
endless patience and wisdom.
Ambler as Bert is an amiable, reliable friend to all. And the two children,
Maupin as Jane and Marheineke as
Michael, are both adorable and
assured.
The show is filled with memorable
music and lyrics by Richard M.
Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. They
include, among others, A Spoonful of
Sugar,
Feed
the
Birds,
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
and Chim Chim Cher-ee.
Several songs are enlivened with terrific dances choreographed by
Michelle Shannon.
Hats off to scenic designer Don
Coluzzi and his crew, who designed and
painted the colorful, versatile sets.
Kudos, too, to costume designers Mary
Cravens and Shannon Maxham, lighting designer Carson Duper, properties
and special effects designers Eric
Olson and Adria Olson, and hair and
wig designer Dee Morrissey.

arrives, seemingly unbidden.
She soon leads the children on a
series of adventures that change their
behavior and, in turn, change their
father. He needs to change because hes
so obsessed with making money in his
bank job that he treats his family with
neglect or unreasonable strictness.
Although the main characters, which
also include Jim Ambler as Bert,
Marys chimney sweep friend, do well,
everyone in the 26-member cast of all
ages is energetic and involved.
Numerous smaller parts are memorable, such as Darlene Batchelder as
the Bird Woman, Queen Victoria and
Miss Andrew, Georges tyrannical former nanny.
Then there are Ron Lopez Jr. as
Robertson Ay, a family employee; and
Jennifer Martinelli as Mrs. Brill, the
cook and housekeeper.

Bridgepointe Ice Rink group were

staunchly opposed to the city caving
to SPIs demands. However, their ultimate goal is to promote ice on the
Peninsula and appear willing to loosen
their grip should SPIs contribution
support a new facility.
Were excited and supportive of any
project that can be adequately financed
and funded that results in a replacement
for the Bridgepointe ice rink in the
community, said group cofounder Len
Rosenduft. If the city of San Mateo
takes the money from SPI in exchange
for closing and rezoning of the
Bridgepointe ice rink, wed certainly
like to see those funds go to a replacement rink in the region.
Strambi and rink supporters remain
confident that a new facility would be
financially viable, even profitable.
After financing construction, Strambi
said they intentionally set up a nonprofit so that any profits would be
reinvested into other recreational programs for the community.
While theres still a long ways to
go, Strambi said theyre hopeful the
regional push for ice will encourage
the community to recognize the value
of promoting a new facility.
Our proposal is designed as a private, public partnership that will
ensure the unique social and recreational benefits of a community ice rink are
perpetuated on the Peninsula, Strambi
said. Ice-related sports are so unique
in its ability to attract all age groups
form ages 5 to 95 in an unrivaled safe,
social and recreational environment
where participation can exist for all
skill levels, operate under all weather
conditions and from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m.,
365 days a year.
Musical director Gregory Cheng and
11 musicians sit above the stage.
However, this orchestra may be too
large. It often overpowers the singers,
exacerbating problems with the sound
design by Larry Tasse. Not only can
lyrics be hard to understand, but dialogue sometimes seems distorted, as if
the actors were in an echo chamber.
Given those problems, its not
always easy to discern whats happening in a given moment, but the general effect comes across thanks in large
part to the excellent acting and the relative simplicity of the book by Julian
Fellowes, which is based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Disney
film.
The show runs about two hours and
45 minutes with one intermission, but
it moves along well, making it a good
holiday bet for all ages.
Mary Poppins will continue
through Dec. 18 at Hillbarn Theatre,
1285 E. Hillsdale Blv d., Foster City.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carmelita Finkelstein
Case Number: 16PRO00552
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Carmelita Finkelstein. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Frederick Clarke in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Frederick Clarke be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. The petition requests the
decedents will and codicils, if any, be
admitted to probate. The will and any
codicils are available for examination in
the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: December 20, 2016
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin

BECERRA
Continued from page 1
tration after being named to the post
Thursday, promising to defend the states
liberal stances on recreational marijuana,
climate change, health care, immigration
and criminal justice.
If you want to take on a forward-leaning
state that is prepared to defend its rights and
interests, then come at us, U.S. Rep. Xavier
Becerra said hours after he was appointed by
Gov. Jerry Brown.
Becerra, 58, said he was stunned to be
selected by the Democratic governor to succeed newly elected U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris.
But he said he pledged during his telephone
interview with the governor to build on
some of the issues that Brown hopes to preserve as part of his record when he is termed
out of office in two years.
That includes keeping California the
clean energy superpower of the country,
protecting otherwise law-abiding immigrants even if they are in the country illegally, and building on Browns changes that
reduce mass prison incarceration, Becerra
said. He also will seek to protect the states
broad implementation of President Barack
Obamas health care law that Trump has
pledged to unwind.
Were always ahead of the rest of the pack
and we should be prepared to defend that,
Becerra told reporters on a conference call.
Brown emphasized in appointing Becerra
that he expects him to help our state
aggressively combat climate change, an
area where the governor has been critical of
Trump and the Republican-led Congress.
Becerras selection reshuffles the Latino
power structure in the nations most populous state and nationally. As Democratic caucus chairman, Becerra is the highest ranking
Latino in Congress, where he has served
since 1992.
Becerra might now be the most prominent Latino politician in the country, particularly when it comes to the debate over
immigration policy, said Dan Schnur,
director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of
Politics the University of Southern
California.
Jerry Brown has declared war on
Washington, D.C. and hes appointed Xavier
Becerra to lead that fight, Schnur said. But
rather than choose a radical bomb-thrower,
Schnur said Brown wisely chose a
Washington veteran whos going to lead a
forceful resistance but not an obnoxious
one.
Becerra is a rising star in the party who
served as a high-profile Latino surrogate for
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary
Clintons campaign this year. He was widely

LOCAL/WORLD
discussed as a potential cabinet appointee if
Clinton won.
He now lives in Los Angeles but recalled
growing up in Sacramento as a son of poor,
hard-working immigrants. He noted he was
the first in his family to graduate from college, obtaining both bachelor of arts and
law degrees from Stanford University, and
said his goal is to offer the same opportunities to others.
But with the election of Trump and a
Republican sweep of both houses of
Congress, his 24-year tenure in the House is
no longer as appealing as becoming the
states chief law enforcement officer. In the
attorney generals position, Becerra could
serve through 2018 and then seek another
eight years after that.
Law enforcement leaders said they look
forward to working with Becerra, who was a
deputy attorney general for three years
before he began his political career in 1990.
But the head of the National Federation of
Independent Business in California panned
Becerras long, dismal voting record on
important small business issues.
The choice immediately adds Becerra to
the long list of California Democrats who
could be contenders for governor or the U.S.
Senate, said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a public
policy professor and political analyst at the
University of Southern California.
The list already includes Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newson, state Controller John Chiang, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa, Senate President Pro Tem
Kevin de Leon and wealthy donor Tom
Steyer.
Becerra wouldnt rule out a bid for higher
office, though he told reporters that he
wouldnt have agreed to leave Congress if he
didnt expect to enjoy being attorney general.
Trumps election upended Becerras path to
influence in Washington, said Thad Kousser,
chairman of the political science department
at the University of California, San Diego.
Washington, D.C., is now red territory,
so if he wants to have an impact on policy,
Californias the place to do it, Kousser said.
Kousser noted that going to battle in the
courtroom with the Trump administration
over climate change and immigration will
raise his profile for a possible run for governor or to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., when she decides to retire.
Becerras replacement in his solidly
Democratic district in Los Angeles would be
picked via special election, and his expected
departure immediately set off speculation.
Former Assembly Speaker John Perez quickly announced he would seek the seat representing areas including downtown, Boyle
Heights, Chinatown and Highland Park.
Becerra is likely to face easy confirmation
in
the
Democratically
controlled
Legislature.

Iraq hopes OPEC deal will help

pay for its massive war costs
By Sinan Salaheddin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD The government of Iraq is

hoping that a new OPEC deal will help the
war-weary country generate enough revenue
to help pay for its costly, 2-year-old fight
against the Islamic State group.
Iraq, whose oil revenues make up nearly
95 percent of its budget, has been reeling
under an economic crisis since late 2014,
when oil prices began their descent from a
high of above $100 a barrel.
The plunge began just months after IS
militants swept across large parts of northern and western Iraq. They seized territory
that prompted a huge effort to rebuild and
rearm large segments of the military and
security forces and to care for a flood of
people displaced from their homes.
On
Wednesday,
the
14-member
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries sealed a deal to lower its output
for a six-month period by 1.2 million barrels per day. Effective Jan. 1, the group will
produce 32.5 million barrels per day.
Non-OPEC nations are expected to pare

Buzz Aldrin, second man on

moon, evacuated from South Pole
WELLINGTON, New Zealand Former
American astronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of the
first men to walk on the moon, has been
evacuated by plane from the South Pole for
medical reasons, officials said Thursday.
Aldrin, 86, was visiting the South Pole as
part of a private tourist group when his
health deteriorated, the International
Association of Antarctica Tour Operators
said on its website.
It said he was taken as a precaution on the

an additional 600,000 barrels a day off their

production. That includes Russia, which
committed itself to reducing its output by
300,000 barrels per day.
Oil prices gained an immediate boost
Wednesday with the international benchmark for crude jumping 8.3 percent, or
$3.86, to $50.24. The price of oil dipped as
low as $26 a barrel in February.
If there was no deal, we would have been
in a very bad situation, said Iraqi lawmaker Haitham al-Jabouri, a member of parliaments Financial Committee. The deal will
have a positive impact on oil prices and
therefor on our precarious economic situation.
Iraqs financial crisis has forced the government to introduce austerity measures,
eliminating posts, merging some ministries, halting spending on construction
projects and imposing new taxes. It has
also sought loans from foreign and local
lenders.
In an interview Monday with the
Associated Press, Prime Minister Haider alAbadi described the level of oil prices as
inadequate.

Around the world

first available flight to McMurdo Station, a
U.S. research center on the Antarctic coast.
It described his condition as stable.
The National Science Foundation, which
manages the U. S. Antarctic program,
described Aldrin as ailing and said he was
being flown on a ski-equipped LC-130 cargo
plane to McMurdo. From there, he would be
flown to New Zealand, it said on its website.
Aldrin became the second man to walk on
the moon in 1969 as part of the U.S. Apollo
11 mission.
