Drought policies, price of water lands in court

Hillsborough residents sue town over charging penalties for excessive water use
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The statewide question of

whether its legal to charge more
for water during a drought has landed in San Mateo County Superior
Court with a group of Hillsborough
residents suing the town.
A class action lawsuit was filed

last week and seeks to test the
legalities of certain drought-related policies many water providers
handed down when faced with state
mandates Californians had to conserve.
The suit alleges Hillsboroughs
nearly 30-year-old tiered-water-
rate structure and its recent policy

of charging penalties for excessive use conflicts with the states
Constitution and Proposition
218. That proposition passed in
1996 and limits the ability of
local governments to raise taxes
without approval of those paying.
The tiered structure involves
increasing rates based on usage as

a way to promote conservation.
On the other hand, Proposition
218 requires the price of utilities
be tied to the actual cost of providing service.
No one disagrees that the
drought is serious and measures
need to be taken, said Beau
Burbidge, an attorney representing the residents. But the drought

doesnt create a reason to circumvent the law.

The South San Francisco
Planning Commission is set to
consider Thursday, Nov. 17, a proposal to build a new boutique hotel
in the Genesis project, near
Airport Boulevard adjacent to San

THE DAILY JOURNAL
SACRAMENTO
Members
of
Californias largest public employee union
have voted 92 percent in favor of a strike as
its members seek new labor contracts with
the state, the union announced Tuesday.
The Service Employees International
Union Local 1000 represents about 95,000
state employees, many of whom are office
and administrative workers, librarians,
engineers and nurses.
Both sides have been bargaining since
April, and they were scheduled to resume
Tuesday, the union said.
The state has offered the union a nearly 12
percent salary increase over four years, but
SEIU officials say the 3 percent annual rais-
es would be offset by a 3.5 percent employee contribution to retirees health care.

Although both parties have reached tentative agreement on many items, the state
has inexplicably failed to budge from its
opening proposal regarding wages for state
workers, the union said in a news release.
Union President Yvonne Walker argues
that the state can afford a larger increase as
the worlds sixth largest economy with a
projected $11.5 billion rainy day fund. She
also said the state has failed to address the
unions concerns about the gender wage
gap. Two-thirds of the unions members are
women, and a state report based on 2014
data found a 20.5 percent gender pay gap for
Californias civil service employees, about
the national average.

California universities weigh

first tuition hikes in six years
By Jocelyn Gecker
Tuition increase is a
decision of last resort. ... The universitys
highest priority is to secure full state funding.
SAN FRANCISCO Faced with

record high enrollment and the need to
hire faculty, the University of
California and California State
University systems are considering
raising tuition for the first time in six
years.
The proposed annual hikes $270
at the 23 Cal State schools and $280 at
UCs nine undergraduate campuses
are being discussed this week by the
governing boards of both systems at
separate meetings on budget plans.
Leaders of both institutions say they
need more funding to maintain the
quality of the nations largest public
university system.
Rates have remained frozen despite
declining state support, officials said.
The current in-state undergraduate
tuition at Cal State schools is $5,400
Toni Molle, spokeswoman for California State University
a year and $12,300 a year at UCs.

About two dozen students protested
Tuesday outside the CSU Board of
Trustees meeting in Long Beach.
They placed fake tombstones on the
lawn outside the meeting, wore zombie
face paint and held signs saying, We
are the Walking Debt to symbolize
the dying CSU system that used to be
free and fully state-funded, said
Courtney Yamagiwa, a member of
activist group Students for Quality
Education.
Yamagiwa, a senior at California
State University, Long Beach, urged
the board to push for more state funding.
The proposed hikes could take effect

for the 2017-18 school year unless the
state provides more funding.
Tuition increase is a decision of last
resort, said Toni Molle, spokeswoman
for
California
State
University. The universitys highest
priority is to secure full state funding.
CSUs Board of Trustees is asking
for an additional $168 million in state
funding, Molle said.
A vote on possible CSU tuition
hikes would not happen until next
year. Officials say that if it takes
effect, the majority of students would
likely have the costs covered by financial aid.

OKLAHOMA CITY A gunman lay in wait outside

Oklahoma Citys Will Rogers World Airport on Tuesday
before shooting and killing a Southwest Airlines employee
in a premeditated attack that occurred while hundreds of people waited for flights nearby, police said.
Michael Winchester, 52, was shot while walking between
a crowded terminal and the airport employee parking area.
The unidentified suspect was later found dead in a pickup
truck in public parking garage overlooking the scene.
Police said the suspect appeared to die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama said the
shooter apparently knew the victims schedule and routine.
This individual went there and waited for the employee to
either be coming or going to take this opportunity,
Balderrama said. He wouldnt say conclusively that it was a
sniper-type attack.
The 1 p.m. shooting set off a scramble at the airport, with
police immediately closing the sprawling complex and asking passengers inside to seek cover.
They diverted incoming flights and refused to give
already-loaded aircraft permission to leave. There were concerns the gunman might have entered the terminal and mingled among passengers or employees.
We have a heightened level of security all the time. These
people have access to aircraft so were very concerned about
that, airport spokeswoman Karen Carney said.
Five Utah students stabbed

OREM, Utah As a group of boys at a Utah high school
changed Tuesday morning into gym clothes for physical
education class, a straight-A student pulled out a knife in the
locker room and stabbed five of his classmates, sending the
injured running for their lives and covered in blood, police
said.
The 16-year-old suspect with no record of disciplinary
trouble also stabbed himself in the neck and was cornered by
school workers until a police officer assigned to Mountain
View High School got to the locker room and subdued him
with a Taser shot.
The five victims are all expected to survive, hospital officials said Tuesday afternoon. The two most seriously injured
were in critical but stable condition, according to Utah
Valley Hospital.
The suspect was treated and released following the attack
that spread fear and panic among students who described a
gruesome scene immediately after the stabbings.
Orem police posted a letter online they said was from the
parents of the teen, apologizing. They said none of the victims had done anything to hurt their son and said the stabbings were not racially or ethnically motivated.
No price tag, end date

for FAAs air traffic control plan
WASHINGTON The Federal Aviation Administration
has little to show for a decade of work on modernizing air
traffic control, and faces barriers and billions more in spending to realize its full benefits, says a report released Tuesday
by a government watchdog.
The FAA estimates it will spend a total $5.7 billion to finish its current work on six transformational technology
programs at the heart of its NextGen modernization effort,
said the report by the Department of Transportations
inspector general. But there are no timetables or cost estimates for completion of most of those programs, and work
will extend beyond 2020.
The FAA has sold the six transformational programs to
Congress and the public as core efforts that would fundamentally change the way the agency would manage air traffic, communicate with pilots, and exchange data with airspace users, Matthew Hampton, assistant inspector general for aviation, said in the report. However, our review has
found that, at least until 2020, most of the transformational
programs will not transform how air traffic is managed.

Three percent of
countys ticks infected
Winter is the season for deer ticks, which
can spread Lyme disease and other illnesses,
San Mateo County public health officials
said Monday.
Up to 3 percent of ticks collected in San
Mateo County in 2015 and 2016 are infected with disease-causing bacteria, according
to San Mateo Mosquito and Vector Control
District laboratory director Dr. Nayer
Zahiri.
The 3 percent figure is consistent with
previous years results.
Tick-borne illnesses can be very serious, district spokeswoman Megan Sebay
said in a statement. Dont be afraid to
enjoy our countys wonderful parks and
open spaces, but do protect yourself against
ticks.
District officials recommend that residents prevent tick bites by wearing lightcolored clothing and long sleeves and
pants, using repellant containing DEET and
avoiding contact with brush, tall grass and
leaf litter.
Pedestrian killed
on Highway 101 near SFO
A man killed in a collision on Highway
101 near San Francisco International
Airport early Monday has been identified as
Jim Harding, 64, according to the San
Mateo County Coroners Office.
Harding, whose place of residence is not
known, was struck just after 1 a.m. on

SFO off-ramp, according to the California
Highway Patrol.
The incident closed three lanes on the

House GOP nominates Ryan as

speaker, with Trumps support
By Erica Werner
WASHINGTON Speaker Paul Ryan unanimously won his GOP colleagues votes on
Tuesday for another term at the helm of the
House. He told fellow Republicans he had
President-elect Donald Trumps support, and
heralded the dawn of a new, unified
Republican government.
It feels really good to say that actually,
Ryan told reporters. This will be a government focused on turning President-elect
Trumps victory into real progress for the
American people.
While victory was the GOP unifier,
Democrats were verging on disarray. House
Democrats abruptly announced Tuesday that
they were delaying their own leadership elections set for Thursday until Nov. 30 to give
lawmakers more time to process disastrous
election results.
Its not clear whether the election delay
might morph into a real challenge to
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She
has led House Democrats for more than 12
years and has consolidated support with
strong fundraising and an ability to deliver
votes, but theres long been grumbling from
Democrats who say new leadership is needed
at the top. As for Ryan, the Wisconsin
Republican still has to win a floor vote for
speaker in January, when all members of the
House will cast ballots, including Democrats.
But he secured the nomination at a closeddoor GOP conference vote Tuesday afternoon
with the strong backing of his fellow House
REUTERS
House Speaker Paul Ryan smiles as he arrives for a caucus meeting the fellow House
Republicans at the U.S. Capitol.
Republicans, even though a few conservative
dissenters pushed unsuccessfully to delay the
balloting.
Those grumblings of dissent could hardly
be heard over the buzz of enthusiasm as House
Republicans convened for their first regular
conference meeting since Trump won the
presidential election. Even though a number
of House Republicans, including Ryan, had
opposed Trump or were critical along the way,
most said theyre now firmly on board and
prepared to try to enact Trumps agenda on
immigration, infrastructure, energy and jobs.
Republicans also backed Californias
Kevin McCarthy to continue as majority

leader and Steve Scalise of Louisiana to stay
on in the No. 3 job of House whip.
Lawmakers trooped out of their morning
meeting in the basement of the Capitol smiling, pledging quick action to roll back
President Barack Obamas accomplishments
and clutching red Make America Great
Again hats.
That was a nice fun touch. Now heres my
problem: Every member wants it autographed, said GOP Rep. Chris Collins of
New York, who has been tapped as congressional liaison to the transition team.
Sanctuary cities vow to protect immigrants from Trump plan

By Gene Johnson
SEATTLE Democratic mayors of major

U.S. cities that have long had cool relationships with federal immigration officials say
they will do all they can to protect residents
from deportation, despite President-elect
Donald Trumps vows to withhold potentially
millions of dollars in taxpayer money if they
do not cooperate.
New York Citys Bill de Blasio, Chicagos
Rahm Emanuel and Seattles Ed Murray are
among those in sanctuary cities that have
tried to soothe worried immigrant populations.
Seattle has always been a welcoming
city, Murray said Monday. The last thing I
want is for us to start turning on our neighbors.

In Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Jorge
Elorza, the son of Guatemalan immigrants,
said he would continue a longstanding policy
of refusing to hold people charged with civil
infractions for federal immigration officials.
Newark, New Jerseys Ras Baraka echoed that
decision, calling Trumps rhetoric on immigration scary.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told
the Los Angeles Times that hes committed to
a longtime policy of staying out of immigration issues. Mayor Eric Garcetti has backed
that up but stopped short of calling LA a sanctuary city because the term is ill-defined.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney restored
sanctuary status when he took office in
January and said last week the city would protect its residents. District of Columbia Mayor
Muriel Bowser also said it would keep the status.
During the campaign, Trump gave a speech
in which he promised to end the sanctuary
cities and said those that refuse to cooperate
with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars. He blamed such policies for
so many needless deaths.
Trump didnt elaborate on his plans for
cracking down on the cities. In a 60
Minutes interview broadcast Sunday, he said
his administrations priority will be deporting criminals and securing the border.
But significant questions and unease
remain about his approach to sanctuary
cities.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence departs Donald Trumps Trump Tower in New York.
Amid signs of transition trouble,

Trump hunkers down with Pence
By Ken Thomas and Julie Pace
NEW YORK Hidden from the public in his Manhattan high-rise, Donald
Trump huddled Tuesday with Vice
President-elect Mike Pence as he tried
to fill out key posts in his Cabinet.
But the transition team appeared to be
straining under the enormous challenge of setting up a new administration.
Former Rep. Mike Rogers, a respected Republican voice on national security issues, announced he was quitting
the transition effort. An apparent clerical oversight effectively halted the
Trump teams ability to coordinate
with President Barack Obamas White
House.
Trump himself broke with protocol
Tuesday night by leaving Trump Tower
without his press contingent. The
transition team had told reporters and
photographers there would be no
movement by the president-elect for
the rest of the day and night, but less
than two hours later a presidentialstyle motorcade rolled out of the building, suggesting that Trump was on the
move and leaving

reporters
scrambling.
Trump turned up
at Club 21, a midtown Manhattan
restaurant where he
was having dinner
with his family.
Donald Trump Reporters were not
allowed inside, and
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks
asked that they respect that he was
having an evening out with his family.
A short time later a tweet appeared
on Trumps account: Very organized
process taking place as I decide on
Cabinet and many other positions. I
am the only one who knows who the
finalists are!
That was the only public statement
from the president-elect on the transition itself. Meantime, his allies
engaged in an unusual round of public
speculation about his potential
appointments including their own
futures as the president-elect and his
aides weighed the nations top national security posts.

Giuliani seemed to be angling for secretary of state. But Trumps transition

team was reviewing Giulianis paid
consulting work for foreign governments, which could delay a nomination or bump Giuliani to a different
position, according to a person briefed
on the matter but not authorized to
speak publicly about it.
Giuliani founded his own firm,
Giuliani Partners, in 2001, and helped
businesses on behalf of foreign governments, including Qatar, Saudi
Arabia and Venezuela. He also advised
TransCanada, which sought to build
the controversial Keystone XL
pipeline, and helped the maker of the
painkiller drug OxyContin settle a dispute with the Drug Enforcement
Administration.
A Trump official said John Bolton, a
former U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, remained in contention for
secretary of state. Bolton has years of
foreign policy experience, but he has
raised eyebrows with some of his
hawkish stances, including a 2015
New York Times op-ed in which he
advocated bombing Iran to halt the
countrys nuclear program.
NEW YORK In the week since Donald Trumps election, theres been a dramatic surge in donations to the
American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, the
Sierra Club and other progressive organizations which have
pledged to resist any moves by the new administration that
would undercut their causes.
Within hours after the election was called, the ACLU
unleashed feisty fundraising appeals, including one warning that if Trump implemented certain campaign promises,
Well see him in court.
The result, according to the ACLU, has been the largest
surge of support in its 94-year history, including roughly
120,000 donations totaling more than $7.2 million.
Well need to build up the most powerful legal organization mankind has ever known to fight for us over the next
four years, wrote HIV/AIDS and gay-rights activist Peter
Staley, who pledged on his Facebook page to become a
monthly ACLU donor.
The ACLUs executive director, Anthony Romero, said the
infusion of new funds would help in addressing several
urgent priorities, including resisting possible mass deportation efforts, protecting the civil rights of transgender
Americans, and preventing stop-and-frisk police policies
from being adopted nationwide.
Among Trumps many promises is to halt federal funding
for Planned Parenthood because of its role as the largest
abortion provider in the U.S.
Since the election, Planned Parenthood has reported an
unprecedented outpouring of support, with more than
128,000 people making donations. The organization said
at least 20,000 of the donations made reference to Vice
President-elect Mike Pence, who as a congressman and governor of Indiana has been an advocate of tough anti-abortion restrictions.
We will never back down, and we will never stop providing the care our patients need, said Planned Parenthoods
president, Cecile Richards.
Like the ACLU, the Sierra Club, a leading environmental
organization, moved swiftly to feature Trump in its
fundraising appeals. It depicted him as an outlier who
denies the dangers of climate change and would dismantle
environmental protection regulations.
The Sierra Club said it had registered 9,000 new monthly
donors since the election more than it had added from
Jan. 1 until Election Day.
We dont feel helpless at all, said Debbie Sease, the
organizations national campaigns director.
Other organizations reporting major increases in support
included the NAACP, the National Immigration Law Center,
and major LGBT-rights organizations, including the Human
Rights Campaign and Lambda Legal. Lambda Legal said it
received support from more than 1,000 first-time donors in
the four days following the election.

Pipeline company seeking court

permission to proceed with plan
By James MacPherson
and Blake Nicholson
CANNON BALL, N.D. The company

building the $3.8 billion Dakota Access
pipeline is urging a federal court to speed up
approval of its plan to lay pipe under a
Missouri River reservoir, arguing Tuesday
that further delays could add millions of dollars each month to the cost.
Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners and
a subsidiary turned to a judge for help to get
final approval from Barack Obamas administration for the four-state pipeline rather
than wait for President-elect Donald Trump, a
pipeline supporter, to take office.
The declaratory relief Dakota Access
Pipeline has sought seeks to end the
(Obama) Administrations political interference in the Dakota Access Pipeline review
process, the company said in a statement
Tuesday.
The Army Corps of Engineers referred a
request for comment to the Justice
Department, which did not immediately
respond.
The Corps on Monday called for more
study and input from the Standing Rock
Sioux before it decides whether to allow the
pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe. The
1,200-mile pipeline thats to carry North
Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to
a shipping point in Illinois is largely complete except for that stretch, which will skirt
the tribes reservation. The tribe says the
pipeline threatens drinking water and cultural sites.
The Corps in July granted Energy Transfer
Partners the permits needed for the project,
but it said in September that further analysis
was warranted, given the tribes concerns.
Its announcement Monday came amid speculation that federal officials were on the brink
of approving the crossing. ETP last week

began preparing equipment to bore under the
river.
Dakota Access has been waiting long
enough to complete this pipeline, the companys CEO, Kelcy Warren, said Tuesday.
The company said in court documents that
the delay has already cost it nearly $100 million, and further delay in the consideration
of this case would add millions of dollars
more each month in costs which cannot be
recovered.
ETP disputes that the pipeline would
endanger the tribe and Warren noted earlier
that Army Assistant Secretary Jo-Ellen
Darcy had informed company officials and
Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault that the
Corps previous permit decisions comported with legal requirements. ETP contends
that the Corps has no legal justification for
the delay.
Hundreds of protesters gathered Tuesday
morning outside a work staging area west of
Mandan, North Dakota, and disrupted freight
train traffic by putting a pickup truck and
tree branches on BNSF Railway tracks,
Morton County sheriffs spokesman Rob
Keller said. It wasnt immediately clear how
many trains were affected.
Officers in riot gear responded. There were
no immediate reports of arrests.
Mandan is about 50 miles north of a camp
where hundreds of protesters have gathered
in recent months to oppose the pipeline.
The camp was quiet early Tuesday, with many
people having left for Mandan. Some people
were erecting large tents with stoves in
preparation for colder weather and snow
forecast for later in the week.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is an environmental attorney and president of the New
York-based Waterkeeper Alliance, which
seeks to protect watersheds worldwide, was
expected to visit the camp Tuesday.

Barack Obama proposes a toast during a state dinner hosted by Greek President Prokopis
Pavlopoulos at the Presidential Mansion in Athens, Greece.
Obama, conceding no fault,

struggles to explain Trump
By Josh Lederman and Elena Becatoros
ATHENS, Greece President Barack

Obama pointed Tuesday to fears of globalization, economic uncertainty, suspicion of
elites anything but his own performance
as he grasped for ways to explain the
unexpected rise of Donald Trump.
Opening his final overseas trip as president, Obama acknowledged he was surprised
by Trumps victory and said it stemmed
from deep-seated anxieties among workingclass Americans that government must do
better to address. But, he added paradoxically: Thats been my agenda for the last eight
years.
People seem to think I did a pretty good
job, Obama told reporters, citing his
strong approval numbers. So there is this
mismatch, I think, between frustration and
anger.
Obamas diagnosis of what went wrong
for Hillary Clinton and Democrats offered
little in the way of a road map for Democrats
to avoid a similar fate in future elections.
Democrats reeling from their resounding
defeat last week are divided about what went
wrong and even more divided about how to
fix it.
In a joint news conference with Greek
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Obama said
his proposals on jobs, education and infrastructure would have helped the same voters
whose frustration drove Trumps success at

the polls if only theyd been implemented.
The problem was I couldnt convince the
Republican Congress to pass a lot of them,
Obama said.
It was also the clearest sign yet that the
president did not accept Trumps election as
a repudiation of his policies, despite
Trumps ardent rejection of nearly every
piece of Obamas legacy.
Obamas words are being watched closely
by world leaders who see parallels between
Trumps election and the rise of far-right
movements in their own countries amid
continued economic anxiety. After Athens,
Obama planned visits to Germany and Peru.
Obamas visit sparked large protests in
central Athens, prompting riot police to use
tear gas and stun grenades to disperse about
3,000 left-wing marchers after they tried to
enter an area declared off-limits to demonstrators. No injuries or arrests were reported.
Obama seemed skeptical that the new
prescriptions being offered would satisfy
voters restlessness.
At home, Obamas party is split as it tries
to come to terms with Trumps win. Some
Democrats are pushing for an immediate and
concerted effort to block Trump at all costs,
while others want an internal shake-up and
new direction aimed at winning back support among working-class voters.

The decline and fall?
Investing in Belmont
By Charles Stone and Warren Lieberman
s the saying goes, One

good turn deserves another.
Belmonts residents have
taken a positive, substantial, and
important step towards improving
their community. Now, the City
Council has the opportunity to do the
same. As two members of the
Belmont City Council, we are condent that the council will do just that.
And we are honored and excited to
help make that happen.
It is difcult to overstate how
important it is that Belmonts residents were supportive of Measure I, a
half-cent sales tax increase intended
to generate an additional $1.3 million
annually for infrastructure improvements. Everyone in Belmont who
rides a bicycle, drives a car or walks
on our sidewalks (sidewalks?) knows
that our infrastructure is in poor shape
all too often, as we bump along
our roads, we need to pay attention to
avoiding potholes and other signs of
failing streets. And not only are our
roads in need of work, but so too are
our storm drains. But voting for
Measure I required something very
signicant from Belmonts residents:
Trust.
Trust that Belmonts local ofcials,
its members of the City Council, will
actually spend this money as intended. Trust that Belmonts infrastructure
needs were not exaggerated and truly
merited an initiative like Measure I.
Trust that the benets of spending
this money would accrue to the entire
community.
During the last few months, we
spoke to many Belmont residents
about Measure I. Many fully supported the measure. But some, while supportive of a higher sales tax to generate revenue for infrastructure improvements, were concerned that the money
would be used for

other purposes. In
short, they did not
trust Belmonts
city ofcials to do
what they said they
would do. We understand these concerns and are grateCharles Stone ful to have the
opportunity to
address this
healthy skepticism.
Not only must
trust be earned, it
must also be granted. Now that the
community has
shown it is willing
to trust the City
Warren
Council, it is the
Lieberman
councils turn to do
what it can to demonstrate that the
communitys faith in the city was justied. We believe the entire council
will support actions to make it easy
for residents to clearly understand
how and where this additional revenue
is spent. For example, we have
already begun to discuss with the city
manager how this revenue will be put
into a specic account, which would
then be accessed to fund specic infrastructure initiatives. This will make it
easy to see where the money goes.
Furthermore, Measure I provides for
a citizens committee to report annually on how the sales tax revenue was
used. While the Measure I sales tax
will likely not go into effect until
April, and Belmont wont begin
receiving revenue until July, the council discussion has already suggested
that appointments could be made as
soon as February, consistent with the
application periods for other citizenbased committees such as the
Planning Commission and the Parks
and Recreation Commission. Once
Guest
perspective
the committee is formed, its annual
report will be posted on the citys
website for all to see.
Some cities, such as San Mateo,
have long had a Public Works
Commission that provides recommendations to the City Council for
public works policies and actions.
The San Mateo commission is made
up of ve residents, appointed by the
San Mateo City Council. Now that
Measure Is revenue will enable
Belmont to adopt a more active infrastructure rehabilitation program, it
may be appropriate and helpful for
Belmont to do something similar.
If you have questions about how the
Measure I sales tax revenue is used,
please dont hesitate to contact either
of us or any member of the City
Council. We welcome your inquiries.
Belmont, thank you for making
this possible. While our infrastructure
needs are far greater than can be met
with the money that Measure I will
generate, it will provide us with sufcient revenue to make many needed
improvements. We are honored and
humbled to be able to serve you as we
work on making Belmont an even
better place to live, work and play.
We wont let you down!

crucial states received more votes
than the difference between Trump and

hen we refuse to see what we see and

know what we know, we participate in a
dishonest system and help perpetuate
it. Anne Wilson Schaef, When Society Becomes an
Addict.
I wasnt going to write a column about the results of
last weeks election, but I find I must do something to
assuage my disappointment with the many American
voters who obviously didnt know the difference
between a presidential candidate experienced in government and one who poses a serious threat to the welfare
of our country. Im also writing this for all of my relatives, friends (cyber and
otherwise) and all others
who were deeply depressed
last Wednesday morning
and continue, like so
many of us, to greatly fear
for the future of our country.
Those who voted for the
new president apparently
had no clue as to what the
future consequences of
such an unstable case of
arrested development in
the White House could be.
Is it possible that they are
so addicted to media mayhem that they have lost all
connection to reality? Its very difficult to believe that
his behavior during the campaign (and before) did not
register as a man who is so completely obsessed with
himself, displaying no empathy, no self-control, no
sense of propriety and absolutely no experience in government is the wrong person to be president. As
Garrison Keillor wrote in the Washington Post: Raw
ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely
learning disabled man with a real character problem
will be president.
We can understand how some people are eager for
change in our government, but is this the kind of
change that will make America great again? Those
who cannot see beyond their noses and imagine what
the future consequences could very well be with a man
like Trump in the White House obviously are unable or
unwilling to look behind the surface or beyond the
charge they get watching a full-blown narcissist make a
fool of himself. Foolish me! I thought that there would
be enough people connected with reality to ensure that
the pathological narcissist Trump wouldnt be elected
that more states would resemble California and other
blue states where common sense prevailed. As columnist Eugene Robinson wrote Nov. 10: I would be dishonest if I claimed to see, in Trumps election, anything positive except that it ends a campaign so long
and painful that the phrase Bataan death March often
came to mind.
We have a very uneasy feeling that Trumps term in
the White House will turn out to be like weve heard
what his TV show was like a constant uproar of
which he is at the center and as the boss was constantly stirring up trouble because of his inability to
relating well with others as a result of his pathetic lack
of humility and empathy. His complete obsession with
himself and his certainty that only he knows how to
make America great again does not bode well when it
comes to working with others here and abroad. As
David Cay Johnston wrote in The Making of Donald
Trump: Businessmen can, like Trump often does, dismiss people and move on. Presidents do not enjoy that
luxury. They must contend with ever present forces that
are not subject to their control.
Its mind-boggling when we consider what Joe
Garofoli wrote in the Chronicle Nov. 9: So when
Trump called the system rigged as in rigged in favor
of the wealthy and powerful interests and Washington
insiders many people felt that Clinton embodies
that. It didnt matter that Trump was one of the powerful, born into the comforts of wealth. To Trump supporters, it was more important that he wasnt afraid to
be politically incorrect or what others would call
offensive and racist.
This Thanksgiving, when all of the family will be
together, it will be a struggle to prevent our gathering
from developing into a dirge all of us trying to avoid
the subject of politics and yet in need of the opportunity to vent. Because of our shock and despair about the
outcome of last weeks election, it has been very difficult to talk about how discouraged we are. Yet we must
heed what the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said some
years ago: Our lives begin to end the day that we
become silent about things that matter.

Energy companies lead indexes higher as oil price soars

climbed Tuesday as the price of oil
made its biggest jump in seven

Oil rose almost 6 percent as

Companies like utilities and telecom service providers climbed as
bond yields fell slightly after a

after Warren Buffett made a surprise investment in three carriers.

Google teaches machines to
become more fluent translators
SAN FRANCISCO Google is promising that its widely
used translation service is now even more fluent, thanks to an
advance thats enabling its computers to interpret complete
sentences.
That may sound simple, but it took years of engineering to
pull off. Until now, Googles technology analyzed phrases in
pieces and then cobbled together a sometimes stilted translation.
Now that Googles machines can interpret entire sentences,
the translations of extended passages of text should read and
sound much more like a native speaker of the language. The
technology, dubbed neural machine translation, is similar
to what Google has been using for the past few years to identify people and objects in pictures stored in its Photos service.
Twitter adds new options to curb abuse, harassment

NEW YORK Twitter, long criticized as a hotbed for
online harassment, is expanding ways to curb the amount of

Twitter said Tuesday that it is expanding a mute function
that lets people mute accounts they dont want to see tweets
from. Now, users will be able to mute keywords, phrases and
conversations they dont want to get notifications about.
Users who decide to mute things wont see them.

Some are using it as an opportunity

Others are using it as an opportunity to
stress their companies values and mission, or an opportunity to make nice
with Trump, who many CEOs were publicly against during the campaign.
The men and women who head the
nations biggest companies know that
having a hostile relationship with the
Trump administration could make
doing business difficult. They also
know that they operate in liberal bastions like New York and San Francisco
just as much as in Trump-leaning

U.S. retail sales jump 0.8 percent in sign of consumer health

WASHINGTON American consumers ramped up their spending last

month in a sign of robust health heading into the crucial holiday shopping
season.
Retail sales rose 0. 8 percent in
October, after an upwardly-revised 1
percent gain in September, the
Commerce Department said Tuesday.
The two-month increase was the
largest since the spring of 2014.

The numbers suggest that the economy may grow more quickly in the final
three months of the year than many
economists had expected. Retail sales
are closely watched as a sign of consumer health. Consumer spending
makes up about 70 percent of the economy.
Steady hiring and emerging signs of
solid pay increases have made
Americans more confident and willing
to spend. The unemployment rate fell

last month to a low 4.9 percent and in
October, workers saw the biggest
annual pay gain since the end of the
recession.
And while many companies, such as
Dunkin Donuts, blamed their own
weak sales figures in the late summer
and fall on consumer concerns surrounding the election, Tuesdays figures show that the presidential campaign had little impact overall.
Facebooks fake news problem: Whats its responsibility?

NEW YORK Facebook is under

fire for failing to rein in fake and
biased news stories that some believe
may have swayed the presidential election. Its predicament stems from this
basic conundrum: It exercises great
control over the news its users see, but
it declines to assume the editorial

responsibility that traditional publishers do.
On Monday, Facebook took a minor
step to address the issue, clarifying its
advertising policy to emphasize that it
wont display ads on sites that run
information that is illegal, misleading or deceptive, which includes fake
news. The company said it was merely making explicit a policy that was
already implied.
Its move followed a similar step by
Google earlier on Monday, after the
search giant acknowledged that it had
let a false article about the election
results slip into its list of recommended news stories.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its not unusual to see basketball or baseball and softball teams make the Central
Coast Section playoffs with losing records.
In those sports, teams need to nish with a
.500-or-better record either overall or in
league play to qualify for the postseason.
Selections for the CCS football brackets,
however, are a different animal. Because
there are only 10 games to the regular season compared to 30 for a basketball or
baseball team a system of automatic bids
and power-point accumulation determine
which teams make the CCS football playoffs.
Very rarely do you nd a football team
with a losing record make the playoffs, and
you certainly had never seen a two-win squad
receive a berth.
Until this year. Sacred Heart Prep, which
went just 2-8 during the regular season, had
a trying 2016, coach Pete Lavorato said.
Its been a tough year, I cant lie. When
you juxtapose the last six years and this
year, it was hard on the ego, Lavorato said.
You start to doubt yourself. Maybe I dont
know what Im doing. Maybe Im getting
too old.
Coming into the 2016 season, the Gators
had won four straight CCS titles in various
divisions and six of the last eight. They had
a pair of state championship bowl-game
appearances and churned out a number of
Division I-caliber college players over the
last six years.
But then came 2016 and just two wins.
Everything that could go wrong, did go
wrong this year, Lavorato said. I dont
believe in karma, but maybe all those years
past when everything went our way, when
things went well it was payback.

RALEIGH, N.C. It had been a while

since Joakim Nordstrom scored a goal, and
even longer since Cam Ward shut out an
opponent.
Both droughts are over and now the
Carolina Hurricanes are no longer in last
place.
Nordstrom scored with 9:12 left, Ward
made 22 saves in his first shutout in over a
year and the Hurricanes beat the San Jose
Sharks 1-0 on Tuesday night for their second
straight win.
Its starting to come together, Carolina
coach Bill Peters said.
Ward got the 24th shutout of his career and
first since he blanked Colorado on Oct. 21,
2015, while improving to 6-1 in his career
against the Sharks.
That helped the Hurricanes escape last
place in the Metropolitan Division, in the
process snapping the defending Western
Conference champions three-game winning
streak.
Youve got to build some momentum, and
certainly these last two games have been our
best two games of the year, and we did it in a
real good fashion, playing the way we wanted to play, and dominated at times, Ward
said. Thats a compliment to the guys. ...
Its not going to get any easier, but we
showed what we can do when were on, for
sure.
Aaron Dell stopped 32 shots in his third
career game and his second start for the
Sharks.
He was excellent, Sharks coach Peter
DeBoer said. Gave us a chance to hang
around in a game we didnt deserve to be in.
Thats all you can ask from him.
San Jose, which averages nearly 30 shots
per game, managed just two in the second
period before coming on strong in the third.

Kaepernick stands behind decision not to vote

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick is

standing behind his decision not to vote in the
presidential election or even register to take
part in the democratic process, saying he can
effect change in other ways besides through a
ballot.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has
knelt through the national anthem all season
to protest police brutality and the treatment of
Colin
Kaepernick
minorities, drawing criticism and acclaim alike. He

took more heat for not
voting last week.
I thought a lot of different things about the
process and what I could
and couldnt do, he said
Tuesday. Once again, the
system of oppression is
what I have an issue with.
... I dont agree with the
system of oppression and thats something

that I will continue to not agree with.
For those wondering why he chose not to
vote even on local issues that could influence
what happens at home in the Bay Area,
Kaepernick said, Theres more than one way
to create change.
Im comfortable with everything that Im
saying, what I represent and who I am, he said
of his growth into an outspoken activist,
given how much he once disliked speaking
publicly. At that point in time, there was a
situation where I didnt feel comfortable talking because I didnt want my words used
against me and now I know if I represent my
words properly, what my stance is, who I am
properly, that those words cant be used
against me.
Kaepernick has perhaps bigger issues at
work: His Niners (1-8) have lost eight straight
games and have a daunting challenge ahead

Roberts, Francona are Goff
first start
Managers of the Year with Rams
By Ben Walker
NEW YORK Long before they were honored for guiding

teams with depleted rosters to first-place finishes, Dave
Roberts and Terry Francona were forever linked.
Fans in Boston and beyond will always remember that
signature stolen base.
It was Roberts daring swipe as a pinch-runner in the bottom of the ninth inning that helped the Red Sox managed
by Francona rally from the brink of
being swept in the 2004 AL
Championship Series and sped them
toward ending their 86-year World Series
curse.
Francona went on to win two titles
with Boston, and on Tuesday he earned
his second AL Manager of the Year award
with Cleveland.
But what if Roberts had been thrown
Dave Roberts
out, could that have altered a path that
might someday land Francona in the Hall
of Fame?
The truth of it is, it probably wouldve
been completely different, Francona
said on a conference call.
Theres always a Dave Roberts-beingout from being the other way, he said.
The 44-year-old Roberts won the NL
Manager of the Year honor in his first
Terry Francona season as a skipper, leading the Los
Angeles Dodgers to the NL West crown.
Roberts and Francona each won handily. The voting figures to be much closer Wednesday for the Cy Young awards.
Bostons Rick Porcello (majors-leading 22 wins),
Detroits Justin Verlander (league-high 254 strikeouts, best
wins above replacement for pitchers by baseballreference.com) and Clevelands Corey Kluber (second among
pitchers in WAR) are up for the AL prize.
Chicago Cubs teammates Kyle Hendricks (majors-best
2. 13 ERA, 16-8) and Jon Lester (2. 44, 19-5) and
Washingtons Max Scherzer (20-7, majors-most 284 strikeouts) are competing for the NL honor.
Roberts didnt bat in the 2004 postseason and didnt even
play in the World Series sweep over St. Louis. But to just
play a small part in his only season in Boston was rewarding, and he still retains lessons taught by Francona.
Being unselfish and playing for the right reasons ... the
game honors you, he said.
Known for that one slide into second base, Roberts certainly had to scramble this season.
The Dodgers put 28 different players on the disabled list,
more than any team in the last 30 years. An injury to ace
Clayton Kershaw was among the reasons they employed a
franchise record-tying 55 players, including 31 pitchers.
Among the Dodgers who managed to stay healthy: shortstop Corey Seager, chosen NL Rookie of the Year on
Monday.
Roberts said he was particularly proud of the way our
guys battled adversity all year.
Roberts made a record 606 pitching changes while going
91-71. Twice, he pulled pitchers in the late innings when
they were throwing no-hitters, trying to protect their arms
from overuse.
In the postseason, Roberts took a creative approach to
his bullpen. He used Kershaw against Washington in the
deciding Game 5 of the Division Series, then brought in
closer Kenley Jansen early while taking a 2-1 lead over the
Cubs in the NLCS.
Members of the Baseball Writers Association of America
voted at the end of the regular season.
Roberts got 16 first-place votes to top Joe Maddon,
whose Cubs won the World Series. Maddon, who earned the
award last year, was picked first on eight ballots.
Washingtons Dusty Baker was third and got four firsts.
Terry Collins of the New York Mets had the other two firsts.
Roberts was the lone NL manager chosen on every ballot.
This marked the third straight year a first-time manager has
been honored, following Texas Jeff Banister and
Washingtons Matt Williams.
The 57-year-old Francona guided the Indians to the AL
Central title at 94-67. They overtook the defending champion Royals and high-spending Tigers despite losing
starters Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco, All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley and catcher Yan Gomes to injuries
and outfielders Marlon Byrd and Abraham Almonte to drug
suspensions.
Cleveland came close to winning its first World Series
title since 1948, but the Cubs rallied from a 3-1 deficit.
It was an unbelievably satisfying year, Francona said.
Its already been a busy offseason for him, too. The
Indians picked up options for his contract in 2019 and
2020, then he had a right hip replacement operation.
Francona drew 22 first-place votes and was the only manager chosen on all 30 ballots.
Banister was second and got four firsts. Baltimores Buck
Showalter, who was third, and Bostons John Farrell both
drew a pair of firsts.

THOUSAND OAKS Jared Goff is ready to show the Los

Angeles Rams he was worth the wait.
Goff will make his NFL debut Sunday when the No. 1 pick
faces the Miami Dolphins as the Rams starting quarterback.
I think its time, Goff said after practice Tuesday. Im
ready to move forward and play. Im just going to work hard
and hopefully win.
Goff watched the first nine games of his rookie season on
the sideline for the Rams, who have scored an NFL-worst
15.4 points per game with one of the leagues least productive offenses.
Veteran Case Keenum has started every game, passing for
2,169 yards with 11 interceptions and nine TDs.
Goff will debut in front of his home fans
at the Coliseum, where Rams fans frustrated by a dismal offensive season chanted
We want Goff! two weeks ago during a
loss to Carolina.
Were expecting him to play well and
win games for us, so its an exciting time
for us, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said.
After weeks of increasing scrutiny on
the offenses struggles, Fisher finally
Jared Goff
decided to see what theyve got in Goff.
Los Angeles couldnt score a touchdown
in last weekends 9-6 victory over the New York Jets, failing
to reach the end zone for the third time in nine games.
Los Angeles traded several high draft picks to Tennessee in
April to move up to draft Goff, hoping to solve years of
underperformance at the NFLs most important position. The
Rams also traded up to make a splash in their return to Los
Angeles after a 21-year sojourn in St. Louis, where they hadnt made the playoffs since 2004 or had a winning record
since 2003.
But after Goff didnt beat out Keenum for the job in the preseason, Fisher repeatedly declined to promote the rookie
over the past two months even while his offense struggled on
almost a weekly basis, saying he wanted Goff to be in an ideal
position to succeed.
Its increasingly clear that the Rams offense doesnt provide an optimal opportunity for any quarterback, but at least
Goff will now be learning on the job.
It wasnt a spontaneous decision, Fisher said. It was a
progression. Its a gut feel. Its not an easy thing. It takes
time, and we gave it time, and it was the right decision. Were
looking forward to watching him play. ... Hes going to have
some moments, like all young quarterbacks do, but hes
going to do well.
The Rams offense is 31st in the NFL with just 308.0 yards
per game. Their passing game is ranked 25th with 225.4
yards per game, increasing in recent weeks because of Los
Angeles profound struggles running the ball.
The Coliseum crowd has been eager for a change, booing
the offense and chanting for the rookie while the Rams struggled through a 13-10 loss to Carolina two weeks ago. Los
Angeles couldnt score against the Panthers until midway
through the fourth quarter.
The Rams then failed to reach the end zone against the Jets,
but the defense carried them to their first win since early
October.
Fisher had finally seen enough on the field and from
Goff in practice to warrant the inevitable change.
It feels like a long time since Ive got out there and
played, Goff said. Im excited to get back out there. ... I saw
a lot of stuff from the sidelines, as much as you can see during
games, and learned from a lot of the things Case did, good and
bad. Its been a long process, I guess, trying to pick up everything and get ready for it. I think I have, and I think Ive been
ready for a little while. I feel good, and I feel excited.
Goff, who turned 22 last month, was a three-year starter at
California in a spread offense bearing little resemblance to
the Rams more pro-style schemes. That additional learning
curve persuaded the Rams to be patient, but Keenum has struggled along with the Los Angeles offense, repeatedly failing
to make big plays in important situations.
The veteran has thrown eight interceptions and five TD
passes over the past five games for the Rams, who endured a
four-game skid before last weekends win.
Goff will get his first shot against the Dolphins, who have
the NFLs ninth-ranked passing defense with potent passrushers Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake, who have combined for 12 sacks.
Goff is the first quarterback chosen with the top pick who
didnt start his teams opener since JaMarcus Russell in
2007. Since then, Matt Stafford, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton,
Andrew Luck and Jameis Winston had all started their teams
first games.

Costa Rica routs U.S. in World Cup qualifying

foot as the American defender stabbed to
make a play to no avail. He was a step behind
all night on the slick, chunked-up turf.
There was some whistling during The
Star-Spangled Banner from the capacity
crowd of about 35,000 in Estadio Nacional,
where the field is surrounded by an athletics
track and crowd noise dissipates even
from a band in the second deck. The venue
appears less intimidating to visitors than
old Estadio Ricardo Saprissa, where fans
were directly behind the benches.
Right back Timmy Chandler and midfielder Jermaine Jones are suspended for the next
qualifier, at home on March 24 against
Honduras, because of yellow-card accumulation. Both were cautioned by Mexican referee for fouls against Costa Rica captain Bryan
Ruiz, Chandler in the 11th minute and Jones
in the 37th.
Costa Rica, a 2014 World Cup quarterfinalist, nearly went ahead in the 14th minute
when Bolanos centered for Ruiz, who chested the ball and sent an overhead kick directly
into Guzans face. And in the 57th, Venegas
beat Chandler to a punt by Navas and had a
clear shot on Guzan, who made a leg save.
Whle Bolanos repeatedly sliced diagonal
long balls through the midfield, the U.S.
rarely threatened. Pulisic took a pass from
Jones in the 20th, dribbled to the end line
and crossed, but Bobby Wood couldnt get to
the ball before goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Wood slid the ball behind Navas in the 41st,

time in the final round of the North and
Central American and Caribbean region.
Johan Venegas scored in the 43rd minute,
Cristian Bolanos doubled the lead in the

Combined with Fridays 2-1 loss to

itself in a quick deficit in the hexagonal,

Costa Rica, which won its opener 2-0 at

short pass from Jose Salvatierra in the center
circle and played a long ball into the corner,
where Cristian Bolanos ran it down on its
third bounce. Gonzalez was slow to close on
Bolanos, who crossed for Venegas just out-
side the 6-yard box. Bolanos beat Brooks to

the ball and sent a header across Guzan for
his seventh goal in 30 international appearances.
Bolanos scored after a turnover by 18year-old midfielder Christian Pulisic near

respected Phil Jacksons unmatched coaching accomplishments. That affection has
vanished.
Ive got nothing for him, James said
Tuesday.
James fired back at the 11-time coaching
champion and current New York Knicks president for using the word posse in a recent
interview to describe the NBA megastars
business associates. James said he lost all
respect for Jackson and his comments underline a larger societal issue for young AfricanAmericans trying to succeed in business.
In the interview, Jackson, 71, said James
has always demanded preferential treatment
and called his departure from Miami as a free
agent a slap in the face to the Heat organization. Jackson recalled a time when James
asked for the team to stay over in Cleveland
while on a road trip, a request that put coach
Erik Spoelstra in a bind.
You cant hold up the whole team because
you and your mom and your posse want to
spend an extra night in Cleveland, Jackson
said in the ESPN interview .
The word posse struck a chord with
James, who has surrounded himself with
childhood friends during

his career.

also touched a flash point
at a time of heightened
racial tension in the
country.
We see the success
that we have, but then
LeBron James there is always someone
that lets you know how
far we still have to go as AfricanAmericans, James said Tuesday following
the Cavaliers morning shootaround. I
dont believe that Phil Jackson would have
used that term if he was doing business with
someone else and working with another team
or if he was working with anybody in sports
that was owning a team that wasnt AfricanAmerican and had a group of guys around
them that didnt agree with what they did.
I dont think he would have called them a
posse. But it just shows how far we have to
go. But it wont stop us from doing what we
need to do as a group. Ive put together a
great team, Ive empowered some guys since
I was a kid and weve all grown together and

Carter handles James business affairs

while Paul serves as his agent and for several other top players and Mims works
with the Cavs. They formed LRMR marketing shortly after James turned pro, and the
31-year-old three-time champion was criticized for surrounding himself with friends.
motivation. But its still

sad, though, to see that
people at the top always
want to try to put guys in
power down.
James was offended by
Jacksons flippant use of
a term many find degrading.
If you go and read the
Phil Jackson
definition of what the
word posse is, its not what Ive built over
my career, James said. Its not what I stand
for. Its not what my family stands for.
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue played for Jackson
and said he doesnt recall him ever being
racially insensitive. Lue also has no intention of brokering any communication
between his former coach and star player,
and said James has never asked for any special treatment.
We treat everyone the same around here,
Lue said.
Along with close friends Maverick Carter,
Rich Paul and Randy Mims, James has built
a sports business empire. Among the groups
most prominent successes are landing James
a lifetime contract with Nike worth nearly $1
billion and launching a film and TV production company that has partnered with Warner
Bros.
Ive tried to put my guys in position to

where they can walk in a meeting and go
places and they dont need me because they
got to a point where theyve done their
homework, James said. Theyve studied on
what they want to do and they can hold a
meeting without me because of the respect
that they have and the knowledge they have.
Thats just 12 years of hard work and dedication that we put to each other. I know Phils
in a position of power in our sport, but to
criticize me and my guys over that is nonsense.
The Cavs play the Knicks on Dec. 7 in
Madison Square Garden, a game surely to be
intensified by the Jackson-James drama.
James seemed hurt someone of Jacksons
stature would try to demean him.
It seems like when my name is involved
with other people thats helped build the
game, its like, How can we criticize what he
does on and off the floor? instead of trying
to help me, he said.

GATORS
But since the move, starting with the game

against Hillsdale, Yaffe and the Gators
have gotten better. Against Carmel, Yaffe
threw for 159 yards on 9-of-12 passing with
two touchdowns and no interceptions.
[Yaffe has] done a great job. Im just really
proud of him. His improvement, every
game, has just gotten better and better,
Lavorato said.
Lavorato had equally high praise for Wine
as well. After all, its not easy losing the starting quarterback role, but Lavorato said the
senior handled it with aplomb.
What was cool was, Thomas Wine, his attitude, was awesome. He said, Whatever you
want me to do to help the team. His attitude
could not have been better. Hes a beautiful
guy, Lavorato said.
Continued from page 11

Gators qualied for playoffs. Lavorato said he
heard plenty of chirping about whether his
team deserved to be in the playoffs. But their
inclusion in the postseason goes back to qualifying for CCS: in the Peninsula Athletic
League Bays Division, the top four nishers
earn automatic bids. SHP won only two
games, but both those wins came in Bay
Division play and it put them in fourth place
in what was a down year for most of the Bay
Division.
I let it go in one ear and out the other. Hey,
what are we supposed to do? The top four
teams (in the Bay Division) go to the playoffs, Lavorato said.
The Gators proved the CCS selection committee right by going on the road last
Saturday and knocking off top-seed and undefeated Carmel 46-26 in a CCS Division V rstround game.
(Beating Carmel) was a relief. I know
theyre a B team, but theyre pretty good,
Lavorato said.
And that karma Lavorato was talking about
earlier? Maybe the football gods still were
looking out for the Gators after all because all
the teams that qualify from the Bay Division
play in the three Open divisions CCS offers.
That is unless another team opts up, as happened with Aptos this season. Aptos plays in
the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League, a B
league, but the Mariners are essentially an
A-level team. So CCS left a loophole in the
playoff qualication process that if a team like
Aptos, an A-level team playing in a B
league, decides it wants to play for a state
championship, it could opt up to one of the
Open divisions if it is one of 24 teams with
the most power points.
With Aptos having enough power points,
the Mariners opted to play in the Open
Division III meaning an A-league team
with the least amount of power points would
be slotted into its division of enrollment.
So instead of playing in the Open Division III
A successful season
SACRED HEART PREP ATHLETICS
Thomas Wine, No. 22, started at strong safety as a junior before becoming the starting
quarterback this season. Coach Pete Lavorato had nothing but high praise for Wine after
asking him to give up the quarterbacking duties and focus more on defense.
bracket, SHP was moved to Division V, where
the Gators will now face reigning DV champion Half Moon Bay at 7 p.m. Friday on the
coast.
Not that beating a 10-0 Carmel team was a
piece of cake.
[We] played well on both sides of the ball.
This was, by far, our best game of the year,
Lavorato said. As I watched [lm of the
game], I couldnt believe the effort these
(SHP) kids had on both sides of the ball. It was
really cool to see them play so hard and so
smart. Thats why weve won in the past.
Change does Gators good

Its no coincidence that SHP has been playing some its best football near the end of the
season. The Gators started the year losing its
rst ve games, but have won three of their
last six and things started to turn around once
they got some injured pieces back and then
decided to make a change at quarterback.
I dont like to use injuries as excuses, but
we dont have a lot of kids and we were hit in
certain areas. It was tough, Lavorato said.

We knew we werent terrible. We were OK. It
was just a matter of getting some pieces
back.
One of those pieces was running back Isoa
Moimoi who, after missing the rst four
games, has rushed for an average of 109 yards
per game over the last seven.
The other big move was putting junior Brad
Yaffe under center and moving opening-day
starter Thomas Wine to the strong safety position he started and played the entire 2015 season.
Heres the deal: when we made the transition, it wasnt just about bringing in Yaffe.
We needed to get more athletes on the eld,
Lavorato said.
Yaffe, who started the season at defensive
end and was the backup signal caller, had
minor knee surgery a few weeks before the
season started. And while he was healthy
enough to play on defense, the SHP coaching
staff decided he wasnt quite ready to move to
quarterback.

England Patriots (7-2) coming to Levis
Stadium on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Kaepernick regained his
starting job from Blaine Gabbert last
month. He has thrown five touchdown passes in four games with two interceptions and
has been sacked 11 times though he considers the offense to be making progress.
And Kaepernick is back around his 2015
playing weight and feels healthy again following surgeries to his right thumb, left
knee and non-throwing left shoulder, where
he had a torn labrum repaired.
I feel like Im starting to get some of my
wiggle back, some of the movement, starting to feel very comfortable with where my
health is, how my bodys moving, those
things, he said.

SHARKS
this season and second time this month.
They took the game over in the second
period, DeBoer said. Their compete level
went up another notch and we didnt go with
them.
The sequence that led to Nordstroms goal
was started by Viktor Stalberg, who broke
up a breakaway attempt with his stick. Ward
then blocked Joonas Donskois tip-in try,
and that eventually led to a rush the other
way, with Nordstrom backhanding the
rebound of his own shot past Dells glove
for the fourth-line forwards first goal of the
season. He had 10 last year.
I couldnt believe my eyes when I missed
the first one, so I was kind of happy to get
the second chance, Nordstrom said.
That was one thing Lavorato noticed about

this years team the attitude. He said he
never saw the players get down on themselves
or each other. He said they came out every day
and worked as hard as they could in practice,
while still maintaining a jovial environment.
Its always hard not to look at wins and
losses as being the barometer of success,
Lavorato said. But I think its been a success
with our kids attitude going through a lot of
adversity. (Our recent history is) a tough act to
follow. These kids didnt want to be the team
that sucks.
Their attitude has just been fantastic.
Now that are the Gators not only in the
playoffs, they are a win over Half Moon Bay
away from appearing in a seventh straight
CCS nal and if were counting, heres a number that should have the remaining teams in
the Division V bracket feeling a bit apprehensive.
In the last ve years, including this year,
and if you dont include the two state championship games (both losses), were 15-0 (in
the playoffs), Lavorato said. We won only
two (regular-season) games, but they were the
right two games. I believe we deserved to be in
the playoffs and I think we proved we
belonged.
t h e el ect i o n res ul t s .
I really didnt pay too close of attention
because I have been very disconnected from
the systematic oppression as a whole, so
for me its another face thats going to be
the face of that system of oppression, he
said. To me it really didnt matter who went
in there, the systems still intact that
oppresses people of color.
After Sundays loss at Arizona,
Kaepernick noted: I think it would be hypocritical of me to vote. I said from the
beginning I was against oppression, I was
against the system of oppression. Im not
going to show support for that system.
The Sacramento Bee first reported that
Kaepernick has never registered to vote.
NOTES: LB Aaron Lynch returned to
practice after missing the past two games
with a high ankle sprain. ... WR Torrey
Smith and DL Quinton Dial didnt practice.
... The Niners signed OL Colin Kelly to the
practice squad and placed OL Fahn Cooper
on the practice squad injured list.
Before that score, the goalies had put on a
show for the overwhelming majority of this
one, with Dell and Ward matching each
other save for save. Dell made a slick stop
on a rising shot by Jeff Skinner early in the
third, and a few minutes later Ward stopped a
tricky tip from Logan Couture with about 13
1/2 minutes left.
NOTES: San Jose scratched C Melker
Karlsson, who injured his left ankle while
blocking a shot Saturday against Tampa
Bay. ... Carolina activated D Justin Faulk
from injured reserve before the game. Faulk
(upper body) missed three games. ... The
teams meet again Dec. 10 in San Jose.

Cookbook spotlights healthy,
fast and plant-based dishes
In Angela Liddons previous life, there were chia seed
doughnuts drizzled with coconut lemon whipped cream and
decadent parfaits with homemade jams and hearty granolas
for breakfast. At least once a week, the plant-based blogger
and cookbook author dreamed up another breakfast.
But these days, breakfast is a bit more utilitarian and typically something that can be eaten on the run while Liddon,
who is nine months pregnant, is chasing her 2-year-old
daughter. Her second cookbook Oh She Glows Every Day,
released earlier this month, captures that same spirit, and
offers easy ways to pack in nutrient-rich, meat- and dairyfree meals that are quick to prepare and, in many cases, can
be made ahead of time. The cookbook features more than
100 recipes like fusilli lentil-mushroom Bolognese, roasted brussels sprouts with coconut bacon and curried chickpea
salad.
And there are breakfast recipes as well, including black
bean rancheros, a breakfast ice cream (with avocado in it)
and PB&J thumbprint breakfast cookies that can be
whipped up in 10 minutes.
Moroccan vault protects

seeds from climate change and war
RABAT, Morocco Should a doomsday agricultural crisis hit the worlds driest environments, scientists and farmers will turn to an up-and-coming research center and seed
bank in Morocco to restock their harvests.
Tucked away in the university hub of Irfane in Rabat, the
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry
Areas, or ICARDA, hosts the largest collection of seeds in
North Africa.
If for any reason, a particular community lost all their
resources, we are capable of providing them with the seeds
for restoration and rehabilitation, says Ahmed Amri, head
of ICARDAs Genetic Resources Unit.
The crucial role of seed banks in protecting biodiversity
is receiving increasing attention because of climate
change, which threatens to wipe out crops as dry areas of
the world get even hotter and drier.
A lighter color will produce a more delicate caramel sauce, while a richer golden brown will produce a more pronounced
caramel flavor.
Salted caramel sauce

By Katie Workman
Salted and caramel are two

words that make many people get
misty in the eyes and weak in the
knees.
You can buy lovely salted caramel
in the stores to drizzle over ice cream,
cake, pie or just your tongue, but you
can also make it easily at home, and
for a lot less money. Do share the
wealth what a great holiday gift
this makes.
How easy is it? There is no need for
a thermometer, no special equipment,
no difficult techniques. The thing to
pay attention to is how fast the sugar
mixture is browning. Resist the urge
to wander away and clean out the vegetable bin, because the caramel will
turn from pale to golden to dark to
oh no, whats that smell? very
quickly. A lighter color will produce a
more delicate caramel sauce, while a
richer golden brown will produce a
more pronounced caramel flavor. And
have that cream warmed and ready to
go seconds make a difference.
When you add the cream to the pot it
will sputter and bubble quite a bit, so
use a bigger pot than you think you

need; it will shortly settle back down,
but the last thing you want is hot
caramel bubbling over onto your
stove.
Some caramel recipes call for a pastry brush to brush down the sides of
the pot which the sugar is caramelizing. I think nah, not necessary. Also,
its hard not to keep stirring the sugar
melted with the water, but you have to
trust in the caramelization process.
Stirring makes the mixture grainy,
whereas leaving it alone will let the
sugar gently brown and prevent crystals from forming. Counterintuitive,
but true.
SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

Start to finish: 20 minutes
Makes about 1 1/2 cups, roughly 12
servings
1 cup heavy cream, warmed
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter,
cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water and turn the
heat to medium high. Stir just until

the sugar is dissolved and then stop
stirring completely. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. DO NOT
STIR the mixture; even if it looks a
little grainy, thats just the sugar
doing its thing. Boil for six to seven
minutes until the mixture has turned
golden brown and starts to smell like
caramel; make sure it doesnt get too
dark or start to burn.
When the mixture is a deep golden
brown, turn the heat down to medium
and stir as you slowly add the warmed
cream. The mixture will bubble up
vigorously (this is why you are using
a large pot!). Remove the pot from
the heat and stir in the butter until it
is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla and salt.
Cool the mixture to room temperature and then use right away, or transfer to a glass jar or two with a tight
seal. Store in the refrigerator for up
to one month.

essential, multi-purpose knife is a

FOOD
A fan of fast-food, Trump could

remake healthy school lunches
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON Will Donald Trump

remake school lunches into his fast-food
favorites of burgers and fried chicken when
hes president?
Children grumbling about healthier
school meal rules championed by first lady
Michelle Obama may have reason to cheer
Trumps election as the billionaire businessman is a proud patron of Kentucky Fried
Chicken and McDonalds while promising
to curb federal regulations.
The Obama administration has made
healthier, safer and better labeled food a priority in the last eight years, significantly
raising the profile of food policy and sometimes drawing the ire of Republicans, farmers and the food industry. The first lady made
reducing childhood obesity one of her signature issues through her Lets Move campaign.
In addition to the healthier school meal
rules, the administration ushered a sweeping
food safety law through Congress, pushed
through several new food labeling regulations, started to phase out trans fats, added
calorie labels to menus and suggested new
limits on sodium in packaged foods. The
White House has also fended off efforts in
the Republican Congress to trim the
nations food stamp program.
Food advocates are already nostalgic for
the Obama era and will be playing defense
for the next four years, says Sam Kass, a
former White House senior adviser on nutrition and personal chef for the Obamas.
Trump himself hasnt weighed in on
school meal regulations. But Republicans,
school nutrition directors and some in the
food industry have balked at parts of the
administrations rules that set stricter fat,
sugar and sodium limits, among other stan-
dards, on foods in the

lunch line and beyond.
While many students and
schools have now gotten
used to the healthier
foods, some still complain that the standards
are costly and difficult to
meet.
I would be very surDonald Trump
prised if we dont see
some major changes on the school lunch
program and some other food issues, said
Rep. Robert Aderholt of Alabama, the
Republican chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees Agriculture Department
spending.
Aderholt, who sits on Trumps agriculture
advisory committee, says the Obama administrations approach was activist driven
and people who voted for Trump are looking
for a more common-sense approach.
Legislation is pending in both the House
and Senate to revise some of the standards,
and will likely be considered again next
year. USDA could also make some changes
on its own.
One of many names that have been floated
as a possible agriculture secretary is Sid
Miller, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner
who repealed a state ban on deep fryers and
soda machines at schools. Miller recently
got in trouble when he used a profanity on
Twitter to describe Democrat Hillary
Clinton; he blamed a staffer and the tweet
was deleted.
In September, the Trump campaign
pitched rolling back food safety regulations
in a fact sheet, arguing they are burdensome
to farmers and criticizing increased inspections of food manufacturing facilities as
overkill. The sheet referred to the food
police at
the Food and Drug
Administration.

DATEBOOK
WATER
million, was faced with one of the
steepest requirements when Gov. Jerry
Brown issues his landmark drought
conservation mandates in June 2015.
The town was ordered to reduce consumption by 36 percent, just one of
two areas in the county that faced the
highest conservation standard. The
average Hillsborough resident was
using 324 gallons of water a day in
June 2014, and the town faced a significant challenge to reduce or potentially face state fines of $10,000 a day,
according to the town.
I think agencies are trying to do the
best they can to recoup their costs of
service while complying with Prop.
218 and also trying to deal with an
unprecedented period of drought, said
Kimberly Hood, an attorney representing Hillsborough.
Before the state ultimately lifted
mandates this past May, Hillsborough
significantly exceeded its target by
conserving a cumulative 42.7 percent
with the average resident using about
156 gallons per day by April 2016.
Those savings have tapered off to a
cumulative 26.3 percent since many
local agencies reverted to voluntary
cutbacks, according to data with the
State Water Resources Control Board.
Cost of service
The suit alleges the town was a conservation success story, but the city
opted to institute penalties for excessive use anyway. Now, residents and
their attorney allege the towns tieredwater rate structure isnt tied to the cost
of service and that Hillsborough officials unfairly attempted to levy an
estimated $600, 000 in penalties
against those who went above their
water allotments.
The crux of the arguments is that
Proposition 218, which regulates how
customers can be charged for utilities
such as water and power, and requires
rates be tied to the actual cost of providing service. Since Hillsborough
buys all of its water from the San
Francisco
Public
Utilities
Commission at a fixed rate, Burbidge
said his clients were unfairly charged
higher rates that arbitrarily increased
based on consumption. He noted there
isnt anything inherently wrong with
using a tiered structure, but
Hillsborough hasnt proved its prices
actually correlate to costs. He also

points to a 2015 court ruling whereby
the city of San Juan Capistranos tiered
water rates were found to be flawed as
they didnt reflect the true cost of providing service.
Its a balance water providers are facing throughout the state how to
cover the costs of doing business
when consumption is down, while also
trying to promote conservation, said
Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation
Agency.
Agencies are struggling with this.
And as a water customer, the other
expectation you have is that your
water agency stays in business, that it
actually can continue to provide water,
which means they have to have a revenue stream that can support that. So
its an issue that the water providers
are trying to figure out right now,
Sandkulla said.
While not able to comment specifically on the Hillsborough lawsuit,
Sandkulla pointed to the five-year
drought ending around 1992. Around
that time, conservation best practices
were adopted and included the tiered
rate structure, she said.
The idea at the time was a rate structure that incentivized people to use
less water by putting a premium on the
next tier. Thats the genesis of these
tiered structures that environmental
organizations and conservation organizations have supported for years, and
theyre wisely adopted by water agencies, Sandkulla said.
Charging to conserve
Hillsborough is not alone in using a
tiered rate structure, most in San Mateo
County do. However, average water
bills in Hillsborough are more than
double the cost of most other cities
although some of that could be due to
the larger landscaped homes in the
hillside town. The residents attorney

also noted Hillsborough buys solely
from the SFPUC, which has fixed
rates, while other towns may have
multiple sources.
Many jurisdictions, including
Hillsborough, are also now in the
process of undergoing a cost of service
study, which will seek to tie rates to
the price of doing business, according
to Sandkulla and Hood, who will help
defend the town in the lawsuit.
The goal is just to make sure that
youre covering your cost of service
and its always been clear since Prop.
218, that you cant be making a profit, Hood said. But the courts have
allowed some flexibility in how they
[cover costs], Hood said.
Hillsborough, like many others
throughout the state, responded to
state mandates by setting up allotments for customers and issuing penalties for those who went over also
known as excessive use charges. For
each 748 gallons a customer went
above their allotment, they were
issued a $30 penalty, according to the
city.
The concept stems from the State
Water Resources Control Board and
local state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, recently had legislation signed
by the governor that affirms providers
can set up excessive use charges.
However, Burbidge notes these provisions cannot usurp the state
Constitution and questions their legality as well as whether they should be
considered a tax, which would require
voter approval.
Most, if not all of his clients, have
been paying the towns highest water
rate and received penalties for excessive consumption. His clients are Brad
and Kathy Baruh, Charles Bolton,
Eldridge Gray, John Lockton, David
Marquardt, Paul Rochester, Arthur
Stromberg and Charles Syers.
Burbidge said his firm filed a similar
lawsuit in Marin County and emphasized legal challenges such as this will
ideally help clarify and define how
water providers are able to impose
drought-related regulations.
The resolution of this lawsuit and
its determination of, we think, that
these excessive use penalties are illegal, is going to be helpful in defining
the bounds of constitutional requirements and what municipalities can and
cannot do to reduce water consumption, Burbidge said, adding I think
other municipalities need to be mindful as well.

CITATION TO APPEAR:
(CASE No. A16342 & A16343).
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo.
In the Matter of the Petition of J. Dolores
Torres Jimenez, On behalf of SANTIAGO MARTINEZ and DAISY MARTINEZ
CASILLAS.
Minors, for Freedom from Parental Custody and Control.
The People of the State of Calfornia. To
Santiago Martinez Cruz. By order of this
court, you are hereby cited and required
to appear before the judge presiding in
Department 5 of this court on 12-19.
2016 at 9:00am, then and there to show
cause, if any you have, why Santiago
Martinez and Daisy Martinez Casillas,
minors should not be declared free from
your parental control according to the petition on file herein to free the minor for
adoption.
The address of the court is: Juvenile
Branch, 222 Paul Scannell Drive, San
Mateo, CA 94002.
The following information concerns rights
and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody
and control of Santiago Martinez and
Daisy Martinez Casillas as set forth in
Section 7822 of the Family Code.
1. At the beginning of the proceeding the
court will consider whether or not the interests of Santiago Martinez and Daisy
Martinez Casillas do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent them, whether or not they are able
to afford counsel. Santiago Martinez and
Daisy Martinez Casillas will not be present in court unless they so request or the
court so orders.
2. If a parent of Santiago Martinez and
Daisy Martinez Casillas appears without
counsel and is unable to afford counsel,
the court must appoint counsel for the
parent, unless the parent knowingly and
intelligently waives the right the right to
be represented by counsel. The court
will not appoint the same counsel to represent the minors and their parent.
3. The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel. If private
counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which
will be determined by the court. The
amount must be paid by the real parties
in interest, but not by the minor, in such
proportions, as the court believes to be
just. If, however, the courts find that any
of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by
the court.
4. The court may continue the proceeding for not more than 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable
counsel to become acquainted with the
case.

Russia announces
operation in Syria
By Sarah El Deeb
and Vladimir Isachenkov
BEIRUT Russian missiles pounded

opposition targets in Syria on Tuesday, the
start of a much-anticipated offensive, while
activists reported the resumption of bombing in rebel-held neighborhoods of Aleppo
for the first time in nearly a month, apparently by Syrian government warplanes.
The Russian blitz began hours after
President Vladimir Putin and U.S. Presidentelect Donald Trump discussed Syria in a
phone call and agreed on the need to combine efforts in the fight against what the
Kremlin called their No. 1 enemy international terrorism and extremism.
Russia said its offensive, using longrange missiles and its carrier-borne jets in
combat for the first time on opposition
areas in Syria, focused on rebel-held northern Idlib province and parts of the central
province of Homs. It didnt mention the
besieged eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo.
The new offensive was a sharp snub to the
Obama administration and its policy toward

Syria, and augurs a major escalation in the
coming days that would put tens of thousands of civilians in serious danger.
Months of negotiations between Moscow
and the Obama administration have failed to
cement a long-term cease-fire in Aleppo,
which has become the focus of the war
between President Bashar Assad and rebels
fighting to topple him, some of whom
receive U.S. aid. Al-Qaidas Syrian affiliate is
fighting alongside the rebels, but the Islamic
State group has no presence in Aleppo.
In announcing the start of what he called
a major operation, Russian Defense
Minister Sergei Shoigu said it would target
positions of the Islamic State group and alQaidas Syrian affiliate in Idlib and Homs
provinces. Appearing alongside Putin,
Shoigu said Su-33 jets from the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov were involved in the
operation, marking the carriers combat
debut in Syria. A Russian navy frigate was
also launching long-range Kalibr cruise
missiles at militant targets, he said.
The Russian strikes were aimed at ammu-

nition depots, training camps and armaments factories, Shoigu said, adding that
before launching the attacks, military intelligence had thoroughly identified and
selected targets, including factories producing toxic chemical agents.
Its a well-developed, industrial-scale
production, he said, adding that the strikes
will continue.
U. S. State Department spokeswoman
Elizabeth Trudeau criticized Russia for
launching the strikes and failing to facili-
tate aid deliveries to opposition-held areas

of Aleppo.
We strongly condemn the resumption of
airstrikes in Syria by the Russians as well
as the Syrian regime, she told reporters in
Washington. Weve consistently pushed
for the provision of humanitarian aid to
these civilians suffering under siege.
Instead of joining us constructively to
reach that goal, Russia again has backed the
Assad regime in their ruthless war against
the Syrian people.
In eastern Mosul, civilians clamor for food and cigarettes

MOSUL, Iraq Explosions and gunfire

rattled parts of eastern Mosul and Islamic
State militants fired mortars from apartment
windows Tuesday as Iraqi special forces
waged fierce urban combat in the countrys
second-largest city.
Hundreds of civilians filled the streets
clamoring for food and cigarettes in recently retaken neighborhoods where supplies
were running low. Some of the troops handed over their own rations.
Iraqi forces say they have largely cleared
the neighborhoods of Zahra and Qadisiya in
eastern Mosul after pushing into the area
Nov. 4. The operation to retake the militant-held city began Oct. 17 and troops
made swift progress before their advances
slowed once they pushed into more densely
populated areas.
Iraqi forces moving in from the south
have maintained slow progress and remain

more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) from
central Mosul.
This morning, we have like 1,000 people from the civilians, who escape from this
area to safer area, said Ali Tahseen, a special forces solider in eastern Mosul.
Mosul has been under the tight control of
the extremists for more than two years and
is still home to some 1 million civilians.
Aid groups have warned of a humanitarian
crisis if hundreds of thousands are forced

from their homes during the military operation.
This is a problem for us because the food
we have is not enough for them and were
waiting for more food to be sent from the
government, said Maj. Salam al-Obeidi.
Now the Iraqi soldier is giving his food to
the civilians.
Residents gathered on the streets to
exchange news.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
PROTEST
phone video, has spread across local news
outlets and social media as an example of
the divisiveness that has plagued election
season.
Following the fight, school officials and
students held a rally to promote inclusiveness and a willingness to accept different
perspectives. Woodside Principal Diane
Burbank, in a prepared statement, said she
hopes a spirit of cooperation will persevere
at the school.
Last Thursday, I communicated to
[Woodside High School] students that I had
a challenge for them: pause, practice your
big words, your academic vocabulary and
consider different points of view. [Woodside
High School] is a microcosm of differences,
but were also a community; we can come
together. My expectation is that you recognize and practice that with your classmates.
That remains my expectation, she said.
Roughly 40 students staged a walkout
Monday, Nov. 14, from Woodside High
HEALTH
next two years, particularly since he has
called for repealing President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul, which provides coverage for more than 5 million
Californians.
California aggressively embraced the
health overhaul. About 1.4 million people
signed up for coverage last year through
Covered California, the insurance
exchange created under the Affordable Care
Act. Nearly 90 percent received federal subsidies that would go away under previous
GOP proposals to repeal Obamacare, and
another 3. 8 million people with low
incomes joined the Medi-Cal program,
with 95 percent of their costs paid by the
federal government about $15 billion in
subsidies this year.
If that federal dollar is gone, we dont
have the resources to help pay for that or
offset that, said Sen. Ed Hernandez, a West
Covina Democrat who chairs the Senate
Health Committee.
Replacing the subsidies would take a
massive bite out of the states $122.5 billion general fund budget.
Any state action is unlikely to replace
HOTEL
approval to construct a boutique hotel offering between 70 and 100 rooms along with a
restaurant and retail space in the site
reserved for amenities.
The hotel project is designed to serve as a
connective piece building community
between the office space and others visiting
the 21-acre property.
This central link provides the type of
collision space where tenants and the community can meet, and is designed to create
the vibrant and active life science community center that is central to Phase 3s vision
for Genesis South San Francisco, according to a city report.
The existing tower is comprised of nearly
400,000 square feet of Class A commercial
office space, as well as a market, gym, yoga
center and a conference center accommodating more than 230 people.
The second tower was slated to house
between 340 and 360 condominiums, as
well as a restaurant, in a 21-story building.
But when the site was acquired, the new
owner shifted to reserve the second building
for another 400,000 square feet of research
and development space for use by life sciences companies, to address the growing
demand for biotechnology accommodations
in South San Francisco. Construction of the
second tower has already begun, and Neil
Fox, CEO of Phase 3 Properties, has said he
expects it to be completed by 2018.

School, according to Burbank, and others

from Menlo-Atherton High School left
their campuses as well.
Students had the opportunity to express
their thoughts regarding the election and
their support for one another in a respectful
manner, said James Lianides, superintendent of the Sequoia Union High School
District in an email. At Woodside and
[Menlo-Atherton], a large group of students
marched off of each campus and walked
down streets in a peaceful manner followed
by school campus aides and administrators
to ensure safety of students and community
members.
Some Menlo-Atherton High School students blocked traffic in Menlo Park and Palo
Alto during their protest, but no such disturbances were caused during the San Mateo
event, according to the San Mateo Police
Department.
Rather than disrupt, many students who
walked from San Mateo, Aragon and
Hillsdale high schools said they preferred to
focus on the value of all communities being
accepted.
Oscar Carlos, a senior at Aragon High
School, said the positive message was a
necessary response to the factious statements expressed by Trump on his way to

defeating Hillary Clinton in the presidential election last week.
Trump was elected. We cant fight that.
But we need to unite as opposed to fight, he
said.
Taiye Martin, a middle college student at
College of San Mateo, said he appreciated
the peaceful nature of the rally but felt it was
important to participate and show local students did not support the outcome of an
election in which many high schoolers were
too young to vote.
A demonstration like this shows that we
wont take this lying down, he said.
Students who participated in the demonstration faced receiving an unexcused
absence for missing any afternoon classes.
They made a decision to do something
independently, said Liz McManus, assistant superintendent of the San Mateo Union
High School District. It is their choice, but
we are not supporting it.
Marc Friedman, a member of the district
Board of Trustees who attended the event,
took a different approach.
I came to support the students and their
message, he said. I sympathize with their

fears, which are substantiated by the president-elects comments on Sunday.
In his first full interview following the
election, Trump told a CBS reporter on 60
Minutes he wanted to deport criminal
immigrants, and Friedman expressed appreciation such a perspective was met with
diplomacy by local students.
I think their message is very positive,
he said. They are talking about unity, love
and getting rid of hate.
Rainbow flags supporting the lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender community
dotted the crowd, while other students wore
clothing expressing advocating for the
Black Lives Matter movement and chants of
people united! We will not be divided,
interspersed the protest.
Watching the crowd respectfully share
their concerns regarding the forthcoming
Trump presidency, Sell said the peaceful
protest was heartening.
We are showing the students of this community, particularly minority students, that
they are accepted and loved, he said. This
makes me so optimistic for the future of our
country.
the billions of dollars that the Affordable

Care Act poured into the states economy
and health care system, said Anthony
Wright, executive director of Health
Access, an advocacy group that supports
the law. California would likely do its best
to maintain access to coverage and consumer protections for health plans, but the
state cant on its own replace the funding
or overall health system redesign that
Obamas law ushered in.
Californias not an island, Wright
said. We can and will go alone where we
can, but it will always be based on what the
feds do and allow California to do.
If millions of people lose health coverage because they cant afford it, Democrats
warn that those people will be forced to
seek care for free in emergency rooms,
which are obligated to treat them.
Hospitals will pass the costs on to others,
including the state, said Senate President
Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles.
That will put a major strain on our general fund budget and possibly create a
deficit, de Leon said. Now, if they eviscerate the health exchange and we decide to
make a decision to cover some of the costs,
that will also put us into a budget deficit,
so both options are not good for
California.
Democratic legislative leaders have yet
to offer specific ideas, saying they need to

see what Trump does before offering legislation to combat his policies. The incoming president has softened his stance since
the election, saying hed like to keep the
more popular pieces of the health overhaul, but will still have a GOP-led
Congress eager to repeal it.
Californias Democratic leaders also are
likely to clash with the Trump administration over immigration and environmental
policy, the latter of which has been a legacy issue for Gov. Jerry Brown, who terms
out of office in 2018.
While California has aggressively
moved to accommodate immigrants,
including those who are living in the country illegally, Trump has called for mass
deportation and pledged to build a wall
between the United States and Mexico.
California cant change peoples immi-
gration status or prevent the federal government from deporting them, but it can
refuse to cooperate and prevent local jails,
schools and social service agencies from
doing so.
Californias efforts at defiance are likely
to end up in court, where judges tend to be
sympathetic to states rights when they
conflict with federal law, said Karl
Manheim, a professor at Loyola Law
School in Los Angeles who studies constitutional law and federal pre-emption.
That trend on the Supreme Court may
work in the states advantage in trying to
limit the damage coming down from
Washington, Manheim said.
Congress could restrain the states
authority in areas such as pollution regulations, Manheim said, or leverage billions
of federal dollars to require that the state
agree to specific policies.
which specializes in construction of life

science research and development space
throughout California, focused in San Diego
and the Bay Area.
The proposed new building would house
nearly 17,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and fitness space split across the bottom two floors, while the third through seventh floors would feature between 14 and 22
hotel rooms on each level.
The architecture of the building is proposed to blend with the trademark style of
the rest of the development, featuring tall
towers of glass looming above Highway
101. Phase 3 Properties purchased the project and development rights last December
for $144 million.
The second tower was initially slated to be
21 stories tall, with about 17,000 square
feet per floor and built in a football shape
with the nose of the building pointing
toward the highway. The most recent design
of the second tower envisions a taller, more
slender building more closely mirroring the
character of the first.
The developers have said the campus is
necessary to accommodate the growth in
South San Franciscos biotechnology sector, which is recognized as an international
hub of the industry. The growth has left no
available space to accommodate biotechnology companies in South San Francisco,
and there is less than 1 percent vacancy rate
among biotech office space along the
Peninsula.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov.
17, in the Municipal Services Building, 33
Arroyo Drive.
