Family grocer plans to sell downtown San Mateo property
By Samantha Weigel

Situated a stones throw from San
Mateos downtown Caltrain station, a
proposal to create a mixed-use residen-
tial, office and commercial building is
sought in place a long-standing family
grocer.
Owners of Trags Market at 303
Baldwin Ave. have struck a deal to sell
their nearly 1-acre property to
Prometheus Real Estate, which seeks
to build a four- and five-story building
on the northern end of the citys busi-
ness district. The community is asked
to weigh in on the proposal during a
neighborhood meeting Thursday that
will precede a Planning Commission
Study session late next month.
Barbara Tragoutsis, whose father and
uncle founded the business in the
1970s, said its bittersweet but her 86-
year-old dad and his brother felt it was
time to move on. She emphasized the
local grocer would remain in business
while the planning process unfolds,
which can take years, and said
Prometheus seems enthusiastic about
the propertys potential.

ness, weve been here for 45 years and

True to most communities, an
array of differing opinions on
what the future should hold for
downtown San Mateo came burst-

A San Carlos man found with five pit bulls

this month is now facing two charges in
addition to the five he previously faced after
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
allegedly found him at his red-tagged home
with another pit bull Sunday, according to
the San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
On Sunday, the Sheriffs Office allegedly
received a called just before 9 p.m. from
someone concerned someone was inside the
residence of Javier Larson, 37. They found
Larson at his Brittan Avenue home, which
had been red-tagged after the Sheriffs Office
found five dogs not properly cared for and
without sanitary food or water Aug. 13.
Previously on probation for possessing a pit
bull that bit an elderly man last year, Larson

talking, officers heard a
dog barking and asked Larson if the barking
was coming from his property. He said the
barking was coming from a neighbors dog,

found another pit bull abandoned in a kennel

owner.
A necropsy discovered that Baby died of
starvation, and there was no underlying ill-
ness involved.
Mathis was sentenced to 18 months of
supervised probation followed by 18 months
of court probation as well as one day in coun-
ty jail, which has already been served. The
court has also ordered that Mathis serve 40
es of feces and urine covering the entire
floor. Four, aggressive male pit bulls that
had not been properly cared for or cleaned
were also found in his home, which allegedly
contained no sanitary food or water for the
pets, according to prosecutors. The animals
were taken into the custody of the Peninsula

The sixth dog, which is also in the care of
the Peninsula Humane Society, was not found
when officers searched Larsons property ear-
lier this month. A Taser, which Larson is pro-
hibited from possessing from a previous
misdemeanor conviction, was also found in
his car Sunday, according to prosecutors.
Larson is in custody on $40,000 bail for
all seven of his charges. A jury trial date of

Mathis was out of custody on $50,000 bail
at the time of her sentencing Monday.

Protester charged
for Sunday protest
By Jeff Shuttleworth
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A protester who was arrested during a
large anti-fascist demonstration in
Berkeley on Sunday was charged with mis-
demeanor resisting arrest and misdemeanor
assault on a custodial officer, according to
the Alameda County District Attorneys
Office.
Yesania Mendez, 23, was one 13 people
who were arrested during the protest on
Sunday that drew more than 4,000 people,
according to Berkeley police.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Terry
Wiley alleged in charging documents that
Mendez obstructed Berkeley police Officer
Nicholas Turney and then attempted to com-
mit a violent injury on him.
Berkeley police said they dont know
Mendezs city of residence.
District Attorney spokeswoman Rebecca
Richardson said Mendez is the only person
arrested on Sunday whos been charged so
far.
Turney wrote in a probable cause state-
ment that at about 12:55 p.m. on Sunday he
was on duty, in uniform, when Mendez
threw an apple at me at a high velocity,
while wearing a purple bandana as a mask to
conceal her face.
Turney said, She
threw the apple so hard
that it exploded when it
made contact with the
ground.
Turney wrote that offi-
cers tried to take Mendez
into custody but she
knowingly and willful-
ly refused to comply
Yesania with lawful orders and
Mendez ran from and actively
resisted police as they
tried to take her into custody.
Turney alleged that, Mendez used her
large German shepherd and the crowd as a
defense mechanism to evade arrest but was
eventually taken to the ground near the cor-
ner of Allston and Martin Luther King Jr.
ways and placed in handcuffs.
But Turner said that while Mendez was
being escorted to the nearby Berkeley City
Jail she escaped her handcuffs and ran from
police.
However, he said officers caught up with
her a short time later and she was later
booked her into the Santa Rita Jail in
Dublin.
Mendez initially was arrested on suspi-
cion of assault with a deadly weapon, resist-
ing arrest and unlawfully wearing a mask.

California ruling could make

tax measures easier to pass
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO An anti-tax
group is warning that a California
Supreme Court ruling will lead to
more local taxes, but legal experts
say the justices decision was nar-
rowly focused and additional law-
suits will decide whether it also
lowered the threshold to pass tax
hikes.
In a 5-2 ruling on Monday, the
state Supreme Court said general
tax increases put on the ballot by
citizens should go before voters at
a special election. Only tax
increases sought by local govern-
ment are required to appear on a
general election ballot, the major-

ity said.
The ruling focused on a provi-
sion of Proposition 218, a 1996
ballot measure approved by voters
that spelled out how local govern-
ments may levy new taxes.
Another provision in the proposi-
tion requires a two-thirds vote to
pass special taxes earmarked for
specific purposes such as roads,
schools or stadiums.
Some say the courts decision
could also limit the two-thirds
requirement to cities and counties,
allowing special tax measures pro-
posed by citizens groups to pass
with a simple majority.
In a dissenting opinion,
Associate Justice Leondra Kruger
said the ruling would limit
Proposition 218 that way, and that
was not the intent of the measures

Jon Coupal, president of the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association, which sponsored the
proposition, said the courts deci-
sion could burn taxpayers.
Public agencies could easily
deny taxpayers their rights by col-
luding with outside interests to
propose taxes in the form of an

statement.
Houston watches dams, levees
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON With its flood
defenses strained, the crippled city
of Houston anxiously watched
dams and levees Tuesday to see if
they would hold until the rain
stops, and meteorologists offered
the first reason for hope a fore-
cast with less than an inch of rain
and even a chance for sunshine.
The human toll continued to
mount, both in deaths and in the
ever-swelling number of scared
people made homeless by the cata-
strophic storm that is now the
heaviest tropical downpour in
U.S. history.
The citys largest shelter was
overflowing when the mayor
announced plans to create space
for thousands of extra people by
opening two and possibly three
more mega-shelters.
We are not turning anyone
away. But it does mean we need to
expand our capabilities and our
capacity, Mayor Sylvester Turner
said. Relief is coming.
The rescues went on. Federal and
local agencies said they had lifted
more than 13,000 people out of
the floodwaters in the Houston
area and surrounding cities and
counties.
Louisianas governor offered to
take in Harvey victims from
Texas, and televangelist Joel
Osteen opened his Houston
megachurch, a 16,000-seat former
arena, after critics blasted him on
social media for not acting to help
families displaced by the storm.
Meteorologists said the sprawl-
ing city would soon get a chance
to dry out.
When Harvey returns to land
Wednesday, its the end of the
beginning, National Hurricane
Center meteorologist Dennis
Feltgen said.
Harvey will spend much of
Wednesday dropping rain on
Louisiana before moving on to
Arkansas, Tennessee and parts of
Missouri, which could also see
flooding.

Houston drainage grid so
obsolete its just unbelievable
HOUSTON Houstons system of bay-
ous and reservoirs was built to drain a table-
top-flat city prone to heavy rains. But its
Depression-era design is no match for the
stresses brought by explosive development
and ever-wetter storms.
Nearly any city would be overwhelmed by
the more than 4 feet of rain that Hurricane
Harvey has dumped since Friday, but
Houston is unique in its regular massive
floods and inability to cope with them. This
is the third 100-year-or-more type of flood
in three years.
Experts blame too many people, too
much concrete, insufficient upstream stor-
age, not enough green space for water
drainage and, especially, too little regula-
tion.
Houston is the most flood-prone city in
the United States, said Rice University
environmental engineering professor Phil
Bedient. No one is even a close second
not even New Orleans, because at least they
have pumps there.
The entire system is designed to clear out
Around the nation
only 12 to 13 inches of rain per 24-hour
period, said Jim Blackburn, an environmen-
tal law professor at Rice University: Thats
so obsolete its just unbelievable.
Also, Houstons Harris County has the
loosest, least-regulated drainage policy and
system in the entire country, Bedient said.
Heres how the system is supposed to
work: The county that encompasses
Houston has 2,500 miles of bayous and
channels and more than 300 storm-water
detention basins, which are designed to fill
up during intense downpours and drain
slowly as high waters recede.
Water is supposed to flow west to east
through bayous, which are tidal creeks that
often have concrete improvements to make
water flow and are connected to the
Galveston Bay.
Bad blood lingers in GOP as
Congress ponders Harvey relief
NEW YORK Republicans from New
York and New Jersey are pledging uncondi-
tional support for those devastated by
NATION
Hurricane Harvey. But their resentment
lingers.
As historic floods wreaked havoc across
the Gulf Coast, Northeastern Republicans
recalled with painful detail the days after
Superstorm Sandy ravaged their region in
2012. At the time, Texas Republican law-
makers, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, overwhelm-
ingly opposed a disaster relief package they
argued was packed with wasteful spending.
The debate delayed the passage of the
Sandy relief package by several weeks. And
five years later, another powerful natural
disaster has exposed lingering resentment
that underscores regional divisions in a
deeply divided Republican Party grappling
with crisis.
It was cruel, it was vicious, and some-
thing that Ill never forget, Rep. Peter
King, R-N.Y., told The Associated Press on
Tuesday. He said Texas Republicans held up
the 2012 bill as part of a political ploy
against the Northeast.
Most Harvey flood victims
on hook to pay for home repairs
NEW YORK Homeowners suffering
flood damage from Harvey are more likely
Wednesday Aug. 30, 2017 7
to be on the hook for losses than victims of
prior storms a potentially crushing blow
to personal finances and neighborhoods
along the Gulf Coast.
Insurance experts say only a small frac-
tion of homeowners in Harveys path of
destruction have flood insurance. That
means families with flooded basements,
soaked furniture and water-damaged walls
will have to dig deep into their pockets or
take on more debt to fix up their homes.
Some may be forced to sell, if they can, and
leave their communities.
All these people taken out in boats, they
have a second problem: They have no insur-
ance, said Robert Hunter, director of insur-
ance at the Consumer Federation of America
who used to run a federal flood insurance
program.
Hunter estimates that total out-of-pocket
costs for flooded homeowners could reach
$28 billion, the largest in U.S. history.
Harvey made landfall in Texas late Friday
as a Category 4 hurricane and has lingered
off the coast, dropping heavy rain as a trop-
ical storm. Hunter expects flood damage
alone from the storm to cost at least $35
billion, about what Katrina cost.

Trump offers flag-waving
optimism in visit to Texas
By Ken Thomas and Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas With flag-
waving optimism, President Donald Trump
answered Harveys wrath Tuesday by offer-
ing in-person assurances to those in the
storm zone that his administration will
work tirelessly to help the region recover
from the massive flooding and storm-
inflicted destruction.
We are going to get you back and operat-
ing immediately, Trump told an impromp-
tu crowd that gathered outside a Corpus
Christi fire station about 30 miles from
where the storm made landfall Friday.
For all of his eagerness to get the federal
disaster response right, though, Trump
missed clear opportunities to strike a sym-
pathetic note for multitudes who are suffer-
ing. The president did not mention those
who died in the storm or those forced from
their homes by its floodwaters. And he

What a crowd, what a turnout, Trump
declared before waving a Texas flag from

happened, but you know what, it happened
in Texas, and Texas can handle anything.
Trump is clearly determined to seize the
moment and show a forceful response to
Harvey, mindful of the political opportuni-
ties and risks that natural disasters pose for
any president. Trump has been suffering
from low approval ratings and self-created
crises, and the White House is eager to show
him as a forceful leader in a time of trouble.
The president kept his distance from the
epicenter of the damage in Houston to avoid

Letters to the editor
Lets not repeat the past
Editor,
During the late 1970s, as a recent
immigrant from South Africa, I
attended a California law school. I
had also studied constitutional law
in South Africa before emigrating.
After that experience, I couldnt get
my head around the rationale of the
U.S. Supreme Court in the flag-
burning cases, which allowed the
burning of the U.S. flag as an
expression of free speech. Why
would someone whose own freedom
literally existed because brave peo-
ple fought under the flag many
times, be allowed to destroy it?
After almost four decades in this
country, I have a similar reaction to
people who, purportedly because of
some higher political ideal, want to
pull down statues that stood undis-
turbed for a very long time. Anyone
who didnt grow up justifiably fear-
ing their own government may not
understand how precious it is to
have one that you dont actually
have to be afraid of. While the
United States is far from perfect, its
still a place that people run to in
droves, seeking a better life.
We can survive bad presidents and
other political leaders, but we cant
survive our own lack of common
sense. You can spit on a statue that
stands contrary to your beliefs. But
if you pull it down, the past will be
forgotten and we will be doomed to
repeat it.

Connect the hubs
Editor,
After seven years of construction
and more than $2 billion in costs,
San Franciscos gleaming new
Salesforce Transit Center (formerly
Transbay Transit Center) train sta-
tion will be complete in December.
The only problem: Trains wont run
there for 10 more years, if then.
Thats because the two major transit
hubs south of Market Salesforce
and the Caltrain station at Fourth
and King streets arent connected.
A multi-billion dollar, 1.3-mile tun-
nel is scheduled to link the sites, but
neither money nor a timetable are in
sight.
Heres a low-tech way to link the
two stations.
1). Move the Mid-King Street ter-
minus of the Muni N-Judah Metro
line about 50 feet north. Then it
and a new 1.3-mile terminal-to-ter-
minal or hub-to-hub line would
use the two Caltrain tracks nearest
to King Street and become an inte-
gral part of the Caltrain terminal.
Peninsula Caltrain passengers could
then transfer between modes in sec-
onds without leaving the station.
2). When the downtown-bound
hub-to-hub cars reach Beale Street,
they would turn north from the
Embarcadero onto a new four-block
stretch of tracks that will end in

and signals could be timed to allow

3). To dress things up, a circus-
like tent should be constructed
above the two tracks, so transfer-
ring Peninsula passengers will be
shielded from the weather.
The cost of four blocks of low-
tech track and trolley wire plus 50
feet of Caltrain connection track
should be reasonable. The construc-

More careful
and wise spending
Editor,
The California governmenthas
one agenda: taxes, taxes and more
taxes.
Last fall, Gov. Jerry Brown pushed
through an extension of sales tax
with two years to go. Why so early?
Why 30 years? Then a huge gas tax.
We were already paying high taxes.
Why werent our roads maintained?
Where did the money go? Next cap-
and-trade increasing gas tax so oil
companies could continue to pollute
and regain their fines. Along with
those increased vehicle registration
fees with a break for electric cars.
Both of these bills were forced
through in short time and barely
passed with deals cut behind closed
doors. They should have gone to the
voters. Property taxes are up.
Schools want more. Charter schools
are draining our public school sys-
tem. Utilitiesareup. Now a discus-
sion to give Caltrain and SamTrans a
half-cent tax hike. How do we even
know the money would get to these
departments? Enough! Where do you
think people on low income and
seniors on fixed income will get
these extra dollars each month?
Only the well-to-do can afford to
live here. We dont need more taxes.
We need more careful and wise
spending.
Our government employees are
overpaid and we do not need state-
of-art government buildings.

American idols?
O
ur democracy is in danger. That danger has
its roots in money, power, social structure
and history, but its ultimate source is in
the brains of our citizens. George Lakoff, The
Political Mind.
This is a column I wrote for this newspaper Aug. 4,
2009. Upon reading it again, I was amazed by how it
resonates with the political situation today. You wonder
if anyone has heeded what Lakoff and Pierce warned us
about as the eight years have gone by.
Shortly after I finished reading the book quoted above
and another titled, Idiot America by Charles P. Pierce,
Michael Jackson bit the dust. Whenever I saw some-
thing in the newspaper or
on television about his
demise and his amazing
career, the Pierce title
came to mind. The Michael
Jackson memorial extrava-
ganza revealed much about
the brains of our citi-
zens. As David Brooks
wrote about Jackson in a
column in The New York
Times: Here is a guy who
was apparently untouched
by the pressure to live
according to the rules and
restraints of adulthood.
Yet the number of fans who grovel at the feet of celebri-
ties and obviously lack insight into the psyches and
actions of the depraved and egocentric makes one won-
der just who is going to keep their heads above water
while so many are going under.
A related letter to the editor tells it like it is. The
media driven mania over Michael Jacksons death is an
indictment of extreme celebrity obsession and all the
damage done by spreading what has become a destruc-
tive social sickness. Just think what some of the
money and energy that went into the Michael Jackson
memorial could do for something important, like help-
ing to feed and house needy families.
Pierces basic tenet: Never has a nation so dedicated
itself to the proposition that not only should people
hold nutty ideas, but they should cultivate them, shine
them up and put them right up there on the mantel-
piece. Dont agree? Think about some other items that
were in the news about the same time like the hot dog
eating contest. Add Sarah Palin who obviously got into
politics way over her head and now appears to be rowing
about with one oar. Going back a bit, think about all
those who trusted Bernie Madoff with their life savings
and those who were talked into signing up for mort-
gages they couldnt afford. Former Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamaras recent passing took us back to the
Vietnam debacle and reminded us how little was learned
from it by especially the last administration. And now,
the latest: The insanity of the Birthers.
One of Pierces three Premises of Idiot America that
seem to be steering the ship of our culture these days is
that anything can be true if someone sells it loud
enough and therefore enough people believe in it. Of the
Iraq war he writes: Through millions of individual deci-
sions, through the abandonment of the obligation of
citizenship, it has been declared by Idiot America The
country had wandered into this war, eyes half-closed,
stunned and shocked and too willingly sold. The people
had left the country on automatic pilot too long to pull
out of the crash The successful sale of the Iraq war
was a pure produce of Idiot America (He doesnt mince
words).
Seems that the more outrageous and disturbed celebri-
ties like Michael Jackson become, the more fame and
wealth they accumulate. People who act with dignity,
intelligence, prudence, restraint and decorum are rarely
seen on the front pages of newspapers or featured on
commercial television (Walter Cronkite was an excep-
tion). They are often derogatorily labeled elitists, while
those who are brazen, crude, crass, ignorant and suffer-
ing from arrested development are held up as American
idols.
Idiot Americans will continue to accelerate us down
the path to oblivion at an ever-increasing rate if our
plentiful supply of oddballs and misfits continue to be
revered and worshipped by those who live vicariously
through celebrities and if more Americans allow them-
selves to be brainwashed by whatever politician or
salesman makes the most noise and gets the most press.
Trouble is, as Marilyn Ferguson wrote in The Aquarian
Conspiracy: We cannot leave the trap until we know
we are in it.
Now, eight years later, how do we stand?

Tech, industrial companies lead stocks back from losses

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK North Koreas
latest missile launch jolted the
U.S. stock market Tuesday, but
major indexes pulled back from
those early losses and mostly fin-
ished higher as the weakening dol-
lar gave technology and industrial
companies a boost.
Investors bought bonds, which
are traditionally considered safe
assets, after North Korea fired a
midrange ballistic missile that
crossed over northern Japan and
fell into the Pacific Ocean. Its
believed to be the first time the
country has sent a missile over
Japan, and it seemed designed to
show that North Korea can back
up a threat to target the U.S. terri-
tory of Guam. Energy and insur-
ance companies continued to feel
the effects of Tropical Storm
Harvey, which is dumping record
amounts of rain on the Gulf
Coast. The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 134 points when the
market opened.
It was a double whammy for
investors, said Karyn
Cavanaugh, senior market strate-
gist at Voya Investment
Strategies. But she said investors
are unlikely to sell and remain on
the sidelines because much of the
global economy is growing in
sync. That will help company
results.
Buying on the dips is going to
continue as long as earnings con-
tinue to move forward because
investors know the market is
going to continue to follow those
earnings, she said.
And investors fears eased as the
day went on. As the dollar declined

a 10-year deal that he signed as an incentive
to keep the iPhone maker at the forefront of

HOUSTON The Houston Cougars could
have played their football game at Texas-
San Antonio on Saturday.
Instead they chose to postpone it, decid-
ing there were things much more important
than football this week with Houston
besieged by catastrophic flooding from
Hurricane Harvey.
We felt like it wasnt the right thing to do
in terms of where our city is, Houston
coach Major Applewhite said. Sports are
important and sports are fun and its enter-
tainment, but with casualties in our city, and
the state of mind of our players and our play-
ers families, its not the right thing to do,
to play a game.
Applewhite spoke in Austin where the
Cougars have been practicing since evacuat-
ing there ahead of the storm on Friday. He
said football is secondary right now and
theyll figure out how to make the game up
when conditions improve.
Houston is across our chest for a reason,
he said. Its our city, a lot of people on our
team from our city and we need to help not
only our immediate family ... but go back
and give to a city who has given a lot to us
and concentrate our efforts there. Well get
to our season.
Officials said they will explore options
for rescheduling the game against UTSA.
Houston has an off date on Nov. 11.
The Cougars will not compete in any
sports this weekend with events in cross

in track and field in 2011
By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS A long-delayed study
funded by the World Anti-Doping
Agency says one third of athletes
may have knowingly doped shortly
before they competed at the 2011
track world championships
although few of them were caught at
the time.
The peer-reviewed study, pub-
lished in the journal Sports
Medicine, estimated that doping
was even more widespread at the
Pan-Arab Games in 2011, with at
least 45 percent of competitors
thought to have doped in the 12
months before the regional multi-
sports event.
The researchers said a total of
2,168 athletes at the two events
participated in anonymous ques-
tionnaires upon which the study
was based. The volunteers were
offered the choice of replying to the
question: Have you knowingly
violated anti-doping regulations by
using a prohibited substance or
method in the last 12 months?
After discounting some answers,
from athletes who responded so
hastily that they may have misun-
derstood the survey instructions or
not carefully considered their
response, the team of nine
researchers from Europe and the
United States came up with esti-
mates of doping prevalence among
athletes at the two events: 30 to 31
percent at the world championships
in Daegu, South Korea, and 45 to 49
percent at the Pan-Arab Games.
They said those findings may
still have underestimated the extent
of cheating.
There are many reasons to sus-
pect that we may have undershot the
true values, Harrison G. Pope Jr.,
one of the authors, told the
Associated Press in a telephone
interview.
Pope is a professor of psychiatry
Wednesday Aug. 30, 2017 13
at Harvard Medical School.
Other experts who did not take
part in the study said doping may
now be less widespread than it was
in 2011 thanks to improved
detection methods and following
more recent doping scandals
involving Russian athletes, in par-
ticular.
Michel Audran, director of
Frances WADA-accredited anti-
doping laboratory, noted progress
track has made against doping,
with more than 100 athletes caught
by a biological passport program
that tracks competitors blood and
other readings over time for tell-
tale signs of doping.
Its a snapshot of the time,
Audran said of the study. In my
opinion, it has diminished a lot
since then.
Olivier de Hon, manager of scien-
tific affairs at the Netherlands Anti-
Doping Authority, also said he has
good hopes that doping is less
widespread than in 2011. He said
the studys methodology was
sound.
It is an estimate but its a pretty
good estimate within a 10 per-
cent range of what was likely the
truth at that time, de Hon said.
Its a pity it took so long to pub-
lish, he added. It was really new
when they conducted it.
The authors said the delay of near-
ly six years between collecting the
raw data and publication this week
was due to negotiations with tracks
governing body, and between
WADA and the governing body.
I dont really know where in the
system the delay occurred, Pope
said. What actually happened
behind the scenes was quite murky.
I do know that we wanted to be
sure that we had thoroughly satis-
fied everybody.
An earlier, but subsequently
revised, draft of the study was pub-
lished by the British parliament in
2015.

Isaiah Thomas to ESPN: I am not damaged
By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND All-Star point guard
Isaiah Thomas believes he will fully recov-
er from a right hip injury that has threatened
to void his recent trade to Cleveland.
Thomas, who was dealt by the Boston
Celtics to the Cavaliers last week for star
Kyrie Irving, told ESPN he has made
progress in his recovery.
I am not damaged, the 28-year-old said.
Ill be back, and Ill be the same player.
After Thomas underwent a physical last
week, the Cavaliers had some concerns
about the results. A person familiar with the
findings told The Associated Press the trade
Eric Dickerson signs one-day
deal to retire with the LA Rams
THOUSAND OAKS Eric Dickerson has
signed a one-day contract to retire as a member
of the Los Angeles Rams, reuniting the famous
running back with his first NFL franchise.
The Rams formalized the deal at their train-

his Hall of Fame blazer to complete the paper-
work.
Dickerson set the single-season NFL rush-
ing record and suited up for four playoff teams
during his tenure with the Rams from 1983-87.
He is still among the most popular players in
franchise history, with his jersey frequently

Elliott appeal to NFL over
domestic case headed for 2nd day
NEW YORK Dallas running back Ezekiel
Elliotts appeal of his six-game suspension
over a domestic violence incident is headed for
a second day with no timeline for completion of
the hearing.
The appeal before arbitrator Harold
Henderson is being held at an undisclosed loca-

after concluding that he was physically abusive
toward his then-girlfriend in Ohio last summer.
Prosecutors declined to pursue the case.
The leagues letter detailing the suspension
also cited an incident when Elliott was caught
on video pulling down a womans shirt during a
St. Patricks Day parade in Dallas.
Modestos first real chance came in the
22nd minute on a breakaway attack up the

During the height of its popularity, steak Diane was often flambeed tableside when served at fancy restaurants.
Strip steak Diane
a forgotten gem
By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I have been thinking about steak
recipes with pedigree and history, such
steak au poivre, steak with sauce
Bordelaise and steak Florentine, and
the words steak Diane popped into my
brain. I had no idea what it even was.
So I looked it up, finding a bunch of
versions in my ever-growing collec-
tion of classic old cookbooks.
There was nothing about the recipes
that wouldnt appeal today, even
though steak Diane has fallen off the
popular-steak radar. The sauce con-
tains one or more types of wine and/or
booze (I saw everything from Madeira
to Marsala to sherry to cognac and
brandy to regular red wine) and some
spices. Most steak Diane recipes con-
tained Worcestershire sauce as well,
which I am rediscovering as one of my
go-to ingredients as the weather gets
cooler. Also, some member of the
onion family (I picked shallots) and
some herbs, usually simple greens like
parsley or chives.
The origin of the name is unclear
(its possibly linked to Diana, the
Roman goddess of the hunt).
Traditionally, the cut of beef used for
steak Diane is very thin (often pound-
ed to be so). Ill try that some time, but
I wanted to see how to pull these fla-
vors onto a big, fat, juicy steak and I
picked a couple of nice, 1-inch-thick
strip steaks as my canvas.
During the height of its popularity,
steak Diane was often flambeed table-
side when served at fancy restaurants. I
love to wow my family, but I think
they all agree that having me flambe
anything tableside is probably not a
great idea.
Serve it with roasted potatoes,
mashed potatoes or maybe potato
gratin if you want to go all in, or all
out as the case may be. Hey, if there is
ever a moment to go all-somewhere
its when youre serving up some seri-
ous steak. Creamed spinach as another
side? Or maybe just sautied green
beans with a bit of garlic we can
show a tiny bit of restraint.
Double this recipe as you wish.
STRIP STEAK DIANE
Serves 2
Start to finish: 20 minutes
2 6-ounce 1-inch-thick strip steaks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pep-
per to taste
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons red wine
2 tablespoons brandy or cognac
1 or 2 tablespoons minced fresh
parsley
FOOD
Season the steaks generously with
salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy
skillet (such as cast iron) over medi-
um-high heat and add the oil. When the
oil is hot, add the steaks, and sear for
about 4 minutes on each side, until
nicely browned on the outside and
cooked to your liking, about 125
degrees Fahrenheit internal tempera-
ture for rare, 135 degrees Fahrenheit
for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to
a cutting board and tent them with foil.
Pour off any remaining fat from the
skillet, but do not clean the skillet.
Melt the butter in the same skillet
over medium-low heat. Sauti the shal-
lots for 4 minutes, until golden brown
and tender. Add the mustard,
Worcestershire sauce, red wine and
cognac (be careful, the liquor can
ignite) and stir, scraping up any little
browned bits from the bottom of the
pan. Allow the sauce to reduce a bit,
just one minute, then taste and season
as needed. Stir in the parsley.
Slice the steaks and transfer them to
a serving plate, or serve each steak on
an individual plate with the desired
side dishes. Drizzle the sauce over the
steak and serve.

An odd trend in wheat country: Not much wheat
DES MOINES, Iowa An odd thing has happened in
wheat country a lot of farmers arent planting wheat.
Thanks to a global grain glut that has caused prices and
profits to plunge, this year farmers planted the fewest acres
of wheat since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began
keeping records nearly a century ago.
Instead of planting the crop that gave the wheat belt its
identity, many farmers are opting this year for crops that
might be less iconic but are suddenly in demand, such as
chickpeas and lentils, used in hummus and healthy snacks.
People have gone crazy with chickpeas. Its unbeliev-
able how many acres there are, said Kirk Hansen, who
farms 350 acres (142 hectares) south of Spokane in eastern
Washington, where wheats reign as the king crop has been
challenged.
American farmers still plant wheat over a vast landscape
that stretches from the southern Plains of Oklahoma and
Texas north through Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas as
well as dry regions of Washington and Oregon. However,
this years crop of 45.7 million acres (18.49 million
hectares) is the smallest since 1919.
North Dakota harvested wheat acres are down 15 percent,
Montana 11 percent and Nebraska 23 percent, to the states
lowest winter wheat acres on record.
Fewer farmers planted wheat after a 2016 crop that was the
least profitable in at least 30 years, said grain market ana-
lyst Todd Hultman, of Omaha, Nebraska-based agriculture
market data provider DTN.
Many farmers took notice of a surging demand for crops
driven by consumer purchases of healthy high-protein
food.
The world wants more protein and wheat is not the high-
protein choice and so thats where your use of those other
things come into play and are doing better, Hultman said.
Up north around North Dakota you will see more alterna-
tive things like sunflowers, lentils and chickpeas.
Maine blueberry crop falls
with disease, lack of pollination
PORTLAND, Maine Maines wild blueberry crop is
likely to be much smaller this year than in recent summers
because the industry is contending with troubles such as
disease and a lack of pollination.
The New England state is the wild blueberry capital of the
U.S., and in recent years crop sizes have soared and prices
have plummeted, bringing uncertainty to a key state indus-
try. The crop grew a little less than one percent last year to
almost 102 million pounds (46 million kilograms), while
prices hit a 10-year low of 27 cents per pound to farmers.
But its apparent as the summer harvest nears its end that
thats all changing this year, University of Maine horticul-
ture professor David Yarborough said. He said mummy
berry disease, a crop-killing ailment caused by a fungal
pathogen, and other factors could cut the crop as much as 36
percent this summer.
I do expect to see significant reduction in harvest com-
pared to the last few years, Yarborough said. And its
probably going to end a little earlier than typical.
Yarborough said a shortage of pollinators like bees, a
lack of rain and some localized frost issues have also held
back the blueberry crop. Another factor influencing the
crop size is that farming effort appears to be down this year,
possibly influenced by the low prices to farmers, he said.
The high crops of recent years have taken a toll on the
industry due to oversupply.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved up to $10
million to purchase surplus Maine blueberries last month in
an effort to prop up prices. The USDA also made a similar
move in 2016.

unique environment with entertainment. Most
recently updated in 2011, the plan details caps
limiting developments of housing, office,
retail and hotel space but, since its passage,
almost all of the housing and office space
allowed in the plan has been created.
[The downtown precise plan]s coming to
fruition and now were looking for the frost-
ing on the cake and what does that look like,
she said, according to a video of the meeting.
Given the quick pace of change in consumer
preferences for retail stores, Aguirre said she
favored encouraging small, unique boutiques
in the citys downtown over upscale chain
stores. But rising rents and a lack of a cluster-
ing of retail businesses were among the large
obstacles faced by business owners, especial-
ly small, independent stores, according to a
report by the retail planning consulting firm
MJB Consulting reviewed by the council
Monday.
Michael Berne, principal of the consulting
group, said the downtown plan caps has cre-
ated a recipe for rising rents through growing
demand for restaurants, bars and a variety of
new retail space. Though ground-floor retail
is required or encouraged by city policies for
new downtown developments, recently
approved structures including retail in their
plans are not expected to be available for sev-
eral months.
Councilwoman Diane Howard said she
hoped increased communication between
downtown property owners and retail tenants
could help adjust rents at to a more affordable
level especially for new business owners
whose profit margins may be narrow.
Conversations to improve our relation-
ships with the [downtown property] owners
has got to happen, she said.
Berne said one opportunity for increasing
the stock of downtown retail or entertainment
space would be to allow for mixed-use hotel
projects, which could include a ground-floor
restaurant or entertainment space and hotel
rooms on the upper floors.
Several councilmembers welcomed the idea
of a downtown hotel since hotels near the
city center are often booked during the week-
days and so business and leisure travelers sit-
uated closer to the downtown could patronize
downtown businesses.
They considered whether a subsidy or other
incentives such as shared parking with resi-
dential projects could encourage potential
councilmembers expressed hesitation at cre-
ating a subsidy for hotel projects, but Mayor
John Seybert wondered if the city could con-
sider making other resources, such as an air-
port shuttle or use of a public garage in the
city, available to those planning hotel proj-
ects.
There are different ways that we can subsi-
dize this without taking cash out of our pock-
et through our rules, he said.
William Rodriguez, 16-year resident of
Redwood City and server at the Pullman San
Francisco Bay hotel in Redwood Shores,
urged the council to require any new hotels in
the city to use fair employment practices and
allow their workers to choose which union
they join.
Several residents expressed concern about
the maintenance of the citys hometown feel-
ing and green spaces as new development
projects are planned. Resident Bill Gardner
urged the council to pay attention to how new
developments could affect the safe, approach-
able downtown he sees residents of all ages
visiting.
You have this hometown feel, this is why
Im here, he said. In all the growth and
development, you could lose that.
Vice Mayor Ian Bain supported interactive
entertainment catering to a wide variety of
City residents together, such as a bowling
alley. Redwood City resident Dee Norris
advocated for the city to create a large attrac-
tion, such as a medical center or educational
institution, that would give visitors a reason
to use a downtown hotel.
We need to have some kind of a draw, it
could be medical, it could be educational, but
we need to have to some kind of a draw to acti-
vate interest in downtown Redwood City,
she said. She also advocated for green spaces
to be considered where hotels and new devel-
opments go up to encourage residents and
visitors to come outside. Bain supported
including green space in further conversa-
tions of how retail and hotel could best be
incorporated downtown.
The open space ties the activities, it ties
to where we locate a hotel, it ties to the type
of retail, its all bundled up together, he said.
Though councilmembers agreed appoint-
ing a diverse group of residents, business
owners and other experts to be invited to con-
tribute to stakeholder group, Seybert suggest-
ed the questions the group is aimed at answer-
ing at a future meeting and before the group is
assembled.
If we dont frame the problem statement, if
we dont frame the question right, its going
to be a failure, he said.

AWARD

excellence in financial reporting the high-
est award issued in the field by the profes-
sional organization.
Mayor Reuben Holober lauded city staff for
their work leading to the award issued only
five months after an independent auditor
released a scathing assessment of what was
deemed the citys poor accounting practices.
This award demonstrates the city of
Millbraes ongoing commitment to financial
transparency, he said in a prepared state-
ment. This level of transparency means our
residents and businesses understand where the
citys revenue comes from, where it is spent.
Finance Director DeAnna Hillbrants echoed
a similar sentiment.
This award reflects our ability to be trans-
parent and put our financial information into
a standard document and have it readily avail-
able for the public in a fashion that is easy to
read, she said.
The award, received Monday, Aug. 14, com-
mends the citys production of a report easily
accessed and understood by taxpayers,
The recognition follows a report issued in
March authored by accounting firm Badawi
and Associates harshly rapping officials for
poor accounting practices and inadequate
oversight of public funds.
The report alleged missteps such as offi-
cials going an entire year without properly
monitoring bank accounts, freely sharing
cash box codes without resetting the combi-
nation and other antiquated or improper meth-
ods. In perhaps the most glaring error found
by the auditor, a $108,841 overpayment was
authorized due to insufficient oversight prac-
tices. The city later received a refund for the
spending.
The citys policies and procedures were
not followed and complied with. Per our
inquiry, we were informed the citys procure-
ment policies were outdated, according to
the report.
The auditor pointed to frequent staff
turnover in the accounting department as a
primary source of the issues and city officials
responded with faith that recently-hired
administrators would rectify the issues.
As the city experienced a significant
turnover in the Finance Department, there
was no adequate transition of information.
The control procedures for reconciliation and
according to the report. There was no ade-
quate cross training to ensure continuity of
the accounting operations and financial
reporting.
The audit report helped officials better
understand ways they could improve the
departments operations, said Hillbrants, and
the resulting changes have made for a better
system.
The audit helped us learn and make some
corrections Weve had to look back and
help departments understand why it is impor-
tant to do things a certain way or why a poli-
cy exists, she said.
Hillbrants said when the audit was released,
the city was also in the process of installing
new accounting software which she believed
would rectify the problems from the previous
fiscal year.
Since then, the new system has been
installed and Hillbrants said it has paved the
way for more free and accessible exchange of
information between departments at City
Hall. Looking ahead, Holober suggested offi-
cials remain committed to assuring the citys
financial records are easily tracked and viewed
by posting them online.
Beyond this award, our goal is to ensure
our financial reports are easily accessible and
The award marks the 23rd straight year
which Millbrae has received recognition for
its transparency, barring the 2015 fiscal year,
which the report attributes to the association
changing its requirements for consideration.
The association issued awards to more than
200 other municipalities across the state for
similar excellence last year, including local
cities such as South San Francisco, San
Mateo, San Carlos, San Bruno, Menlo Park,
Burlingame and Half Moon Bay.
The organization founded in 1906 repre-
sents public finance officials across the
North America, with a mission to promote
and improve state and local financial manage-
ment. The award program has been in place
since 1945 to encourage local governments
move past the baseline requirements for
financial reporting and craft reports offering
a full vision of a citys or agencys finances,
according to the associations website.
In all, Hillbrants said the award is a valu-
able recognition of the hard work designed to
improve the communitys ability to track the
citys finances.
We do want to be good stewards of the pub-
lics money and part of that is for the public
to understand how we are taking care of their
money, she said.

TRAGS

progression Tragoutsis said, adding
Prometheus is a local business as well
and they really expressed how excited
they are and they want to be in down-
town and part of the community, which
I think is a good thing.
Prometheus submitted preliminary
plans to the city earlier this year and has
proposed a mixed-use trifecta with hous-
ing, office and retail space on the site. A
63-unit residential component would
include studios and one-bedroom apart-
ments in a five-story building. Attached
would be a four-story structure with just
over 22,300 square feet of ground-floor
commercial space, and about 63,200
square feet of office space on the upper
floors, according to plans submitted to
the city.
The plans resubmitted earlier this
month include increasing the housing
density from 47 units and using tech-
nology to accommodate parking.
In whats becoming a growing trend
in San Mateo, for the third time this
year underground parking has been pro-
posed through a mechanized system
offering 274 spaces, according to the
city. Planners recently approved what
may become the citys first mechanized
underground parking system in a pro-
posed smaller mixed-use building on
the outskirts of downtown at Third
Avenue and El Camino Real. This type
of technology has also been suggested
at a smaller housing redevelopment
proposal along El Camino Real at
Santa Inez Avenue.
The Trags redevelopment must first
go through a public hearing on the pre-
liminary proposal, before formal hear-
ings will be held. Projects that involve
a substantial change in use, or rezoning
typically require community workshops
and Planning Commission study ses-
sion during which no decisions are
made. Following those meeting, devel-
opers must then resubmit their propos-
als and may incorporate proposed
changes made by the public or city plan-
ners. Tragoutsis said her family is not
developing the site, but has been con-
sidering what could become of the lot
currently in escrow. As more people
look for ways to get out of their cars and
reside closer to alternate modes of trans-
portation, being situated near down-
town and close to transit is often desir-
able, Tragoutsis said.
I would think it would be very
appealing, she said.
Prometheus has proposed the com-
mercial and office space stretching
along the propertys North B Street
frontage overlooking the Caltrain sta-
tion, while the residences would be
tucked behind lining North Ellsworth
Avenue, according to the plans.
The project will include seven below-
market-rate units, or about 11 percent of
the housing, which would enable the
developer to achieve a 35 percent state
density bonus. The units include 34 stu-
dios with some as small as 374 square
feet, 13 junior one-bedroom units aver-
aging 644 square feet, and 16 one-bed-
room apartments averaging 865 square
feet, according to the plans.
Although the site would no longer
hold a grocer, there will be other
options for those living or visiting the
area. Mi Rancho Market is almost done
building a new location on the east side
of North B Street and Draegers Market
is nearby on the southern end of down-
town.
Tragoutsis said it can be difficult for a
family-owned business to thrive, partic-
ularly when competing with other busi-
nesses and property values. Her father
and uncle own the land while the busi-
ness is owned by her father, her brother
and herself. She said shes worked at the
business for 31 years and her brothers
been there even longer. With a lengthy
planning process anticipated, she said
theyll keep the doors to Trags open in
the meantime.
Our customers are like family and
friends, and same thing with our
employees. Its been really difficult and
its kind of a bittersweet thing. Weve
been here a long, long time, but the
reality is, a single business like ours
cannot maintain what the value of the
property is worth, Tragoutsis said,
adding theyve seen downtown San
Mateo evolve over the years. As with
everything theres some positives and
also some negatives that come with
change. But I think thats the way of the
world.

Pair salmon with beans for a hearty supper
By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sometimes, its just too hot to
turn on the stove. The key is to
stock up your kitchen with
healthy convenience food that
doesnt require any heat, such as
fresh produce, canned beans,
canned fish and small boxes of
pre-cooked legumes found in the
prepared produce section.
You can throw together a hearty
meal in minutes without breaking
a sweat. Sure, you will pay an
extra dollar or two for steamed
lentils, for instance, but if having
a well-stocked fridge keeps you
from hitting the drive-thru even
once, then youll come ahead
financially (and nutritionally).
Canned salmon is one of my
favorite healthy fast-foods. When
it goes on sale, you can stock up
the pantry with a few cans of it,
making wild salmon downright
inexpensive.
Not only is canned salmon full
of protein (12 g grams of protein
per 2 ounces of fish) and omega-3
fatty acids, but it actually has
more calcium than its fresh coun-
terpart, since the small bones stay
in the meat (and go unnoticed;
remove any large bones, howev-
er).
Pair the salmon with beans or
legumes plus some chopped fresh
vegetables and vinaigrette, and
youve got a dish hearty enough
for a summertime supper. And it
will keep nicely in the fridge, so
you can graze on this fiber and
protein filled salad for a day or two
no problem.

jects.
This weeks gathering at the library
focused on ideas for the public realm or
city-owned spaces, a vision statement
and the hot topic of height and density
an often controversial subject in a
city with voter-approved restrictions
slated to expire after 2020.
Theres been a diversity of feedback
as to how tall and dense future build-
ings should be, so the city offered
three alternatives based off prior input
and aimed at encouraging additional
input. The first is to keep existing
zoning restrictions in place and the
second would be to keep height limits
the same while increasing allowable
densities. The third prospect was craft-
ed from the mix of those who felt
enough wasnt being done. That
option suggested focusing growth by
increasing heights and density in the
downtown core and around transit,
while decreasing it around neighbor-
hoods and in gateway areas.
Chief of Planning Ron Munekawa
said the suggestions theyve received
thus far have run the gamut and contin-
ued feedback will help guide next
steps.
What the public process is about is
trying to identify people who have dif-
fering viewpoints and try to see if
theres some way of reaching a consen-
sus. Sometimes thats possible, some-
times thats not always possible, he
said. But reaching that consensus, he
added, cant happen unless that dia-
logue takes place. So thats what were
trying to do.
People with varied opinions were

Dragons, Breaker of Chains, etc.
Have you ever considered learning
how to lie every now and then? Just a
bit? said an exasperated Tyrion
Lannister.
But Snow argued that lies are corro-
sive. When enough people make
false promises, words stop meaning
anything, and there are no more
answers only better and better
lies.
Economically, Snow has a point.
Distrust is death to commerce. Why
sign a contract if you suspect your
would-be partner wont live up to its
terms? The World Bank economist
Stephen Knack once said the econom-
ic chasm dividing the United States
present at Mondays meeting, writing
their comments on sticky notes and
discussing possibilities with neigh-
bors and city staff.
Nancy Schneider, who formerly
worked in transportation planning,
attended the meeting with her 22-year-
old daughter Rebecca Wysong, who
has a degree in city planning and was
raised in San Mateo. The two said they
recently started volunteering with the
Sierra Club and are supportive of
focused growth while potentially
increasing density near transit.
Theyve attended numerous forums
on the downtown plan as we want to
make suggestions [that] keep in mind
the environment and sustainability,
Schneider said. And were residents
and [enjoy] seeing how the neighbor-
hood works and having our voices
heard.
Others expressed concerns about the
current rate of development and sug-
gested further growth is already
allowed under current zoning codes.
Since 1991, voters have approved
capping building heights at 55 feet,
while allowing up to 75 feet in certain
downtown areas when a public benefit
is provided. Measure H, which became
Measure P in 2004, also includes an
inclusionary ordinance requiring hous-
ing developers to set aside a percent-
age as affordable. Between the local
measure and state laws, density in San
Mateo is capped at about 68 units per
acre.
Maxine Terner, a co-author of
Measure H, said people dont realize
the citys existing codes already pro-
vide for increased development poten-
tial downtown and she wants to see cur-
rent limits remain in place.
I think most of the community is
reeling from the amount of develop-
ment weve already had, Terner said.
Noting downtown San Mateo is vital

and impoverished Somalia could be
explained entirely by the difference in
the levels of trust within each country.
The lords of Westeros are trying to
trust each other and set aside their
petty squabbles as they rally against
the forces of darkness: the Night
Kings zombie army.
Not everyone got the memo.
Cersei has tricked Jon and Daenerys
into thinking shell join their desper-
ate defense against Night King.
Instead, shes secretly importing an
army of mercenaries to defend her
claim to the Iron Throne. Her calcula-
tion: Jon and Daenerys will defeat the
Army of the Dead, but the zombie-
fight will leave them so weakened that
she can finish them off later and rule
the realm alone.
with a robust restaurant industry and
almost no vacant storefronts, she
questioned why the city would want to
make changes.
We have a great downtown, we have
a great city, Terner said. My concern
is the only thing they can do is screw
it up. Thats why I would like to con-
tinue the status quo of Measure P. I
think 55-foot height limits in a subur-
ban-urban community are appropri-
ate, Terner said.
In recent years alone, Measure P led a
developer to reduce an eight-story
housing proposal down to five stories
across from Central Park, it also
reduced the number of affordable units
a nonprofit is constructing in an
entirely below-market rate project on a
city-owned lot in Bay Meadows.
Longtime resident Rich Hedges said
the city should strive to adapt to
regional changes that are afoot and
encourage density to address the hous-
ing crisis. He noted the region is
attracting thousands of new employees
and traffic is exacerbated as people
cant afford to live close to where they
work.
Hedges said hed personally prefer
certain downtown areas permit build-
ings up to 95 feet tall with a public
benefit. As a compromise, he agreed at
least increasing density limits while
keeping existing height limitations
would be a start.
There are people that look at the
future through the rearview mirror.
Theyre not going to stop densifica-
tion, Hedges said. Ive got in my
neighborhood two and three families
moving in together. Were either
going to build units for them or theyre
going to move here anyway.

notice of Petition to
adMiniSter eState of
Rick Francis Reger
Case Number: 17PRO00872
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Rick Francis Reger. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Lindsey Reger in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Lind-
sey Reger be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: SEP 29, 2017 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Israeli leaders settlement Around the world

vow complicates Trumps task
JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus vow to never evacu-
ate Jewish settlements
from occupied land drew
outrage Tuesday from
Palestinians and compli-
cated matters for the
Trump administrations
would-be peace envoys
as they try to restart
talks.
Benjamin The Palestinians
Netanyahu called on the White
House to intervene, and
visiting U.N. Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres challenged Netanyahus com-
ments, reiterating the international com-
munitys opposition to Israeli settle-
ments.
Well over 100 settlements dot the West
Bank and a string of U.S.-led peace plans
over the past two decades have called for
evacuating at least some of them to make
way for the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Netanyahus hard-line religious and nation-
alist base opposes such a move.
North Korea leader urges more
missile launches targeting Pacific
SEOUL, South Korea North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un called for more weapons
