Coastal city eyes pot farming

Half Moon Bay council opts for public outreach on marijuana rules after Proposition 64
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With Half Moon Bay voters

enthusiastically voting to legalize recreational marijuana last
week, city officials are seeking
public input on whether to consider some of the more relaxed regula-

tions in San Mateo County.

While several local cities quickly enacted emergency ordinances
to prohibit commercial marijuana
operations and restrict how people can grow in response to
Proposition 64, Half Moon Bay is
poised to take a slower and potentially more lenient approach.

The election results suggest our

citizens have a relaxed attitude
toward legalizing cannabis for
adult recreational use. Half Moon
Bay voters approved Prop. 64 by a
significantly larger margin, 69
percent, than the county as a
whole and the state, which were 63
and 56 percent respectively, said

Vice Mayor Debbie Ruddock. So

it makes sense to review our current strict prohibitions against
recreational and medical cannabis
in this context.
Much of San Mateo Countys
agricultural lands are nestled
along the coast and production has
been on a slow decline with the

value of indoor floral and nursery

crops down $23. 8 million in
2015. Now, some wonder whether
allowing farmers to grow pot
could help revive the industry
while making use of existing
greenhouses.

$2.8 billion budget surplus

MILLBRAE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias nonpartisan legislative analyst said Wednesday hes

forecasting a $2.8 billion budget surplus
next year and says California should be able
to weather a mild recession without major
budget cuts or tax increases over the next four
years.
Legislative analyst Mac Taylors annual
budget outlook sets the stage for negotiations that begin in January when Democratic
Gov. Jerry Brown releases his proposed
spending plan.
Taylors office said the forecast is subject
to significant uncertainty, particularly in
future years, but it is the best estimate based
on available economic indicators.
The projected surplus signals a likely
showdown between Brown, who prefers cautious spending growth to prepare for a recession, and Democratic legislators eager to
expand state services for people in need.
Browns administration urged caution in
the face of sluggish state revenue in the summer and fall. October tax collections were
$381 million, or 4.7 percent, below projections. Revenue is $1 billion below projections since the administrations most recent
forecast in May.
With what we know now, the outlook for
the upcoming budget is concerning and will
need to account for this declining revenue

and the significant uncertainties that the analyst has identified today including stock
market performance, the potential for recession, and changes in federal policy, Michael
Cohen, Browns director of finance, said in a
statement.
The legislative analyst said his projection
accounts for ballot measures approved by
voters, including the extension of a temporary tax increase on the wealthy. It does not
reflect changes in federal spending that may
come from President-elect Donald Trump and
the Republican-controlled Congress.

DeLeon and Mercado refused to pull over

including the murder weapon, during the

were both detained.
DeLeon and Mercado both remain in jail
without bail and are scheduled to return to

If all spending commitments remain

unchanged, Taylor projects that California
would finish the next budget year in June
2018 with $11.5 billion in total reserves.
Most of it would go to required deposits in
the states rainy-day fund, but about $2.8 billion would be available for the Legislature to
spend or save as it chooses.
In future years, Taylor projected two scenarios. Assuming economic growth continues apace, he says California would likely
have a budget surplus in each of the next four
fiscal years.

Early sign-ups for health care law steady, but no surge

Man sentenced to three
years prison for gun, fraud charges

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A little more than

1 million people renewed health coverage or signed up for the first time
through HealthCare.gov around the
start of open enrollment, which coincided with a GOP election sweep thats
likely to scramble President Barack
Obamas signature law.
The figures released Wednesday by
the Obama administration represent
steady sign-ups but no enrollment
surge so far.
The overall number is fairly comparable to early sign-ups last year, but
the share of new customers is down.
They accounted for 24 percent of the
total so far this year, compared with 34
percent in the first two weeks of last
years open enrollment season. Nearly
1.1 million people had enrolled last
year by about the same time.
The 2017 early sign-up figures are
for Nov. 1-12, while the closest numbers from last year cover a full two
weeks.
Even before the election that put
Republicans in charge, the health care
law was facing strong headwinds in
2017. The remaining uninsured are

for a standard plan are going up an

A convicted felon arrested for trying to bring a loaded gun

into Disneyland last year was sentenced to three years in
prison after being caught with weapons at his South San
Francisco home a few days later.
Percival Aguilar Agoncillo Jr., 45, was denied probation
and sentenced to prison for three felony charges related to
two separate cases out of San Mateo County, according to
prosecutors.
He already has 697 days credit and the sentence was part
of a deal in which Agoncillo pleaded no contest in
September, according to prosecutors.
Agoncillo was caught with a firearm and being under the
influence of drugs when South San Francisco conducted a
probation search July 12, 2015, after learning of his
Southern California arrest. Agoncillo, who was already a
convicted felon, was arrested July 9, 2015, by Anaheim
police for possessing a firearm near Disneyland. He posted
$22,000 bail and came home where he was found high and
in possession of a loaded Colt .45 revolver, ammunition
and drugs, according to prosecutors.
As part of his San Mateo County deal, Agoncillo also
pleaded no contest to two felonies for contractor licensing
fraud and identify theft. He was convicted of using and selling his brothers contractors license in 2014 and 2015,
according to prosecutors.

Charges lodged against

woman in Oakland triple killing
OAKLAND A Northern California woman has been
charged killing a woman and her wife, and the teenage son
of one of the victims before setting fire to the familys
home to destroy evidence.
Dana Rivers, 61, had her first court appearance Tuesday
on murder charges in the deaths of Patricia Wright, 57, and
Charlotte Reed, 56, and Benny Diambu-Wright, 19.
Oakland police said Rivers was covered in blood and
about to ride away on Reeds motorcycle when she was
arrested Friday. Authorities say the motive might have been
a dispute over property.
Rivers gained national attention when she had a sexchange operation to become a woman nearly 20 years ago.
Born David Warfield, she was a suburban Sacramento
teacher when she began hormone treatments and surgeries
in 1999. When she told school district officials about her
plans, they placed her on administrative leave and eventually fired her. She sued and reached a settlement.

Drug prices dont budge even

after pressure from Congress

Sen. John Cornyn, right, as they conclude Senate Republican party leadership elections at
the U.S. Capitol.

McConnell to lead Senate GOP,

Schumer new Democratic leader
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senate Republicans reelected Mitch McConnell on Wednesday to

be majority leader next year while
Democrats picked Chuck Schumer to lead
them, setting the chief actors as the chamber prepares for an agenda that will be dominated by Donald Trump and the GOP.
McConnell, 74, is a discreet but deadly
master of the Senates legislative chess
game. His role will be to steer GOP bills to
the desk of a president whose name he barely spoke during a tumultuous campaign in
which many Republicans viewed Trump and
his incendiary comments on Muslims, veterans and others as political poison.
Its time to accept the results of the election, to lower the tone and to see what we
can do together to make progress for the
country, McConnell, from Kentucky, told
reporters Wednesday.
As Senate minority leader, Schumer will
assume his weakened partys most powerful
remaining post as it struggles to define its
role in a Republican-dominated government.
The New Yorkers ascension from his No.
3 spot has been a virtual lock since last
year, when he quickly cemented votes for
the top job after current Minority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced hed retire.
Most of each partys leaders will remain in
their posts next year, an ironic stability following an election that seemed to show a
demand by voters for change.
McConnell and Schumer faced no opposition at separate closed-door meetings. Later
Wednesday, Schumer visited McConnell in

his office, telling a

reporter afterward: First
meeting. Working out
things.
Republicans will control the White House,
House and Senate but
their potential Achilles
heel is the Senate, which
Chuck Schumer they will dominate 5248.
Assuming
Republicans dont eliminate the rule allowing filibusters, Schumer should be able to
keep the GOP from the 60 votes theyd need
on some issues to break the procedural
delays, potential leverage for bargains.
Where we can work together we will,
Schumer told reporters about Trump, with
whom he shares an affection for TV soundbites and sharp elbows. But Schumer said
hes also told the president-elect, On issues
where we disagree, you can expect a strong
and tough fight.
Schumer has mentioned infrastructure as
an area of possible cooperation.
Many Democrats will feel pressure to back
Republicans on other issues, too. Twentyfive of the 33 Senate seats up for 2018 reelection are held by Democrats and their two
allied independents, including several from
deeply Republican states like Montana and
West Virginia, and theyll have to find ways
to appeal to constituents.
Underscoring Democrats effort to understand why last weeks election turned so
sourly against them, Schumer announced a
broad, 10-member leadership team. It
ranged from liberals like Sen. Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts to moderates like
West Virginias Joe Manchin.

GIVE THE GIFT OF PREPLANNING

WASHINGTON Congresss routine of

publicly shaming drug company executives
over high prices works no better than a
placebo: It may make some people feel better, but it doesnt treat the problem.
In the last two years, House and Senate
committees issued more than a dozen subpoenas to price-hiking drugmakers, collecting hundreds of thousands of documents and
berating executives for more than 16 hours
of public hearings.
But a review by the Associated Press of the
list prices of nearly 30 brand-name medications and generic versions targeted by congressional investigators shows most
havent budged since coming under federal
scrutiny, according to figures from Truven
Health Analytics.
These companies have made clear that
they are not going to change course on their
own they will keep bilking the American
people for all they can unless Congress
acts, said Rep. Elijah Cummings, DMaryland, the ranking member on the
House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform.
Unlike most countries, the U.S. doesnt
regulate drug prices. That means drugmakers, like other businesses, are largely free to
set prices as high as the market will bear.
Congress has avoided passing laws that
would change how drugs are priced, in keeping with the wishes of the powerful pharmaceutical lobby. That leaves lawmakers with
few options beyond hauling executives
before their committees.
Cummings helped kick off Capitol Hills
latest round of pharmaceutical bashing in
the fall of 2014 with a flurry of letters to
makers of prescription drugs that had seen
dramatic price spikes. Since then, the AP
counted 29 drugs that were specifically mentioned either in letters from lawmakers or
during congressional hearings. The list
prices of 22 of those drugs did not change at
all. Five fell, and two went up. Those that

House Dems to
delay leadership elections
WASHINGTON House Democrats have
decided to delay their leadership elections
and the decision on whether to keep Nancy
Pelosi as their leader.
Elections had been scheduled for
Thursday, but now will occur on Nov. 30.
Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts
said the caucus had decided to delay.
At issue is whether to reinstall Pelosi or
opt for a new leader.

fell were generic drugs that received little

public attention.
Drugmakers say list prices overstate drug
costs, since insurers who pay for them
negotiate discounts and rebates. But companies dont disclose those reductions, leaving the actual prices paid unclear.
Meanwhile, executives have found ways
to defuse some of the public outrage without
cutting prices. Under questioning from
Cummings and other lawmakers in
September, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch
pointed to company coupons that can lower
the price for EpiPens by up to $300 for
some insured patients. While such coupons
lower patients out-of-pocket expenses,
insurers foot the bill for the drug, which
still carries of list price of $608 for a twopack, up more than 500 percent since 2007.
Last year, former Turing Pharmaceuticals
CEO Martin Shkreli reneged on a pledge to
lower the price of the life-saving anti-infection drug Daraprim after raising it 5,000
percent. Instead, his company offered hospitals a sliding discount and the option to
buy a 30-pill bottle for $22,500 instead of
the original 100-pill bottle, which cost
$75,000. The $750 list price per pill didnt
budge.
The industry has cultivated an outrageously complicated and obscure pricing
system, said Robert Weissman, president
of consumer advocate Public Citizen. They
can give the illusion of various discounts
and rebates that sound on their face like
price reductions but without really impacting their bottom line.

Democrats gained seats in last Tuesdays

Trump: No transition turmoil, efforts going so smoothly

By Julie Pace and Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK President-elect Donald

Trump and his team on Wednesday vigorously
rejected charges of turmoil and infighting
roiling efforts to set up his White House,
national security and economic teams. A week
after his upset victory, Trump said the enormous endeavor was proceeding so smoothly.
Trump dished out his rebuttal on Twitter,
spending yet another day ensconced in his
New York skyscraper, beyond the public eye.
Aides and allies vouched for the transition
efforts on his behalf, suggesting some commotion was to be expected.
The beginning of any transition like this
has turmoil because its just the nature of the
process, former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich said as he left Trumps transition
headquarters in Washington. He said the picture of Trumps administration would become
clearer over the next two or three weeks.
Others close to the transition process
described advisers fighting for power.
Trump has long stoked internal rivalries
among his staff both in his businesses and
his campaign and has created ambiguity in
his transition about who has authority to
make key decisions.
Eric Trump, one of the president-elects
sons, raised expectations of imminent
progress Wednesday, telling reporters in the
morning that appointments were likely to
come during the day. Then, other Trump aides
suggested a slower pace.
Were not going to rush to put names forward until were absolutely sure, Trump
spokesman Jason Miller said hours later.
Were going to make sure that theyre people
were confident will pass confirmation and we
think can implement the president-elects
vision.
Trumps team noted that President Barack
Obama waited until a few weeks after the 2008
election to announce many of his Cabinet

president-elects vision.

appointments.
And former Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra,
who has informally advised members of
Trumps national security team, blamed
Trumps detractors for the reports of drama.
When youre doing a transition that is trying to push the kind of change that Mr. Trump
wants to be doing, its going to be even harder, said Hoekstra, a former House
Intelligence Committee chairman.
The incoming Republican administration
also got a boost of support from outgoing
Vice President Joe Biden, who met with his
successor, Mike Pence, continuing the
Obama administrations show of public support for the transition.
No administration is ready on Day One,
Biden said following the meeting at the Naval
Observatory, which serves as the vice presidential residence. He expressed confidence
that by Trumps Jan. 20 inauguration, everything will be in good hands.
Trumps team was essentially starting from
scratch, scrapping much of the preliminary
transition work New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie conducted during the campaign. After
winning the election, Trump demoted
Christie and put Pence in charge.
The result has been a series of new additions
to the transition team and several departures,
mainly among those aligned with Christie.
Kevin OConnor, a former senior Justice
Department official, joined that group.

President-elect Trumps lobbyist ban

complicates administration hiring
By Julie Bykowicz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President-elect Donald

Trumps campaign promise to drain the
swamp of Washington might make it difficult for him to fill all the jobs in his administration.
Trumps ethics plan would ban all executive-branch officials from lobbying for
five years after leaving their government
jobs one of several policies aimed at
curbing the influence of lobbyists. His
campaign released his plan about three
weeks before Election Day, and drain the
swamp quickly became a favorite rallying
cry and social media hashtag.
Lobbyists, many of whom are massed
along the K Street corridor downtown just
blocks from the White House, see the plan
as misguided and argue that it could backfire on him. The incoming Republican
president is racing to hire some 4,000
executive-branch employees, and his

ethics plan could cause some job-seekers to

look elsewhere because it limits how they
can earn a living when they decide to leave
the administration.
This will have a chilling effect on his
hiring, no doubt, said Paul Miller, who
leads the National Institute for Lobbying
and Ethics. Most people who agree to
government service want to go back into
the private sector. We dont want career
politicians, and thats what he could end up
with.
But to those who have long advocated for
breaking the Potomac fever that befalls
those who come to Washington and never
leave, Trumps ban is worth the risk of losing some potential administration
employees.
Too many people go into government
service as a way to punch their ticket and
come out and make millions of dollars.
Thats both a concern and a reality, said
Meredith McGehee, an executive at the
government reform group Issue One.

Plutos frozen heart may hide underground ocean
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Evidence is mounting for an
ocean at Pluto, buried beneath its frozen heart.
Scientists said Wednesday that Pluto may have rolled over
on its axis eons ago, the result of tidal forces with jumbo
moon Charon. The extra weight of an underground sea is the
most likely explanation, they said.
These latest findings are based on observations by NASAs
New Horizons, which made an unprecedented flyby of Pluto
last year. The spacecraft is now 365 million miles from Pluto
and enroute to a 2019 close approach of another faraway orb.
Published in this weeks journal Nature, the studies focus
on a 600-mile basin in the left lobe of Plutos heart-shaped
region. This basin is known as Sputnik Planitia, named after
the Russian satellite that launched the Space Age in 1957.
Sputnik Planitia is aligned with Plutos tidal axis, so much
so that its unlikely to be coincidence, according to the
researchers. More likely, the nitrogen ice-coated basin has
extra mass below the surface to cause Pluto to reorient
itself and have Sputnik Planitia on the opposite side of the
dwarf planet as Charon.

College students at campuses around

the United States marched and rallied
Wednesday, urging administrators to
protect students and employees against
immigration action under a Donald
Trump presidency.
Rallying supporters on social media
with the hashtag #SanctuaryCampus,
organizers said actions were planned at
more than 80 schools, including
Vermonts Middlebury College, where
about 400 people gathered, and Yale
University, where demonstrators numbered about 600.
Students sought assurances that their
schools would not share their personal
information with immigration officials or allow Immigration and
Customs Enforcement agents on campus.
Can you imagine the fear that it
would inflict on college campuses if
having ICE agents walk into a campus
becomes the status quo? organizer
Carlos Rojas of the group Movimiento
Cosecha, said by phone from New
Jersey. It would be terrifying.
The actions continued days of
demonstrations that have broken out in
cities and high school campuses fol-

lowing Trumps election victory last

week. The Republicans campaign
promises included a vow to deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally.
Im very fearful, Miriam Zamudio,
whose parents brought her to the U.S.
from Mexico as a child, said by phone
as she prepared to join a protest at
Rutgers University in New Jersey.
She worries that the family information she provided on her application
for Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals status will endanger her parents, who are living in the country
without legal permission.
We dont know what Trump is going
to do, Zamudio said. We dont know
if he is going to demand this information, and we want our administration
and our school to stand with us.
Several hundred people, mainly high
school and college students, rallied at
the federal building in downtown San
Diego to protest Trumps election.
Some held signs or banners saying we
are not criminals and make racists

Bombs strike rebel-held Aleppo and northern Syria

By Sarah El Deeb and Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Bombs rained down on rebelheld eastern Aleppo for a second straight
day Wednesday, pounding a district that
houses several medical facilities, including
the central blood bank, and forcing Syrian
staff and patients in the only remaining
pediatric hospital to cower in a basement as
buildings collapsed around them.
At least 54 people were killed in
airstrikes and artillery shelling across
northern Syria, part of a long-anticipated
offensive against
rebel-held areas
announced by Russia, a key ally of Syrian
President Bashar Assad. The bombardment
hit in besieged neighborhoods of Aleppo,
as well as the surrounding countryside and
the nearby rebel-held province of Idlib.
Russia said its air raids were only targeting Idlib and the central province of Homs
to root out militants of the Islamic State
group and Syrias al-Qaida affiliate. But
Syrian warplanes were pounding rebel-held
districts of Aleppo, home to nearly
275,000 people.
Residents said the aerial campaign intensified Wednesday. Syrias Civil Defense,
known as the White Helmets, recorded at
least 150 raids, more than double the number of attacks on Aleppo on Tuesday.
Resident Modar Shekho said warplanes
hadnt left the skies over his neighborhood
since 9 a.m. The helicopters would leave
and the jets would arrive, he said by tele-

tals courtyard, hit the main door and stairs.

The hospitals operating rooms, incubators

Associated Press by telephone. We dont

Adham Sahloul of the Syrian American
Medical Society, which supports several
hospitals in opposition areas in Syria, said
it appeared the government was focusing its
fire on Aleppos medical infrastructure,
including the central blood bank, which
was also hit. There are only five functioning trauma facilities left in eastern Aleppo,
he said.
The managing director of the blood bank,
Ahmad Eid, said the damage was mainly to
the facilitys exterior and reception area.
The driver was slightly injured, but the
stored blood was not affected, he said.

Extensive cultural damage found in historic Iraqi city

By Susannah George
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NIMRUD, Iraq Nearly a month into the

fight to retake Mosul, government forces
pushed Islamic State militants out of nearby
Nimrud, home to some of Iraqs richest
archaeological treasures. And when soldiers
finally surveyed the extremists destruction
of the ancient sites, one said that those who
carried it out dont have a place in humanity.
Intricate reliefs that once stood at the

gates to the magnificent Assyrian palace lay

in pieces: stone carvings of a face, half of a
claw, part of a wing, fragments of script.
In April 2015, the Islamic State extremists released a shocking video that showed
how they had hammered, bulldozed and blew
up parts of the 13th century B.C. Assyrian
capital in the Tigris River valley south of
Mosul.
Iraqi officers accompanied journalists to
the site Wednesday, wandering through the
piles of rubble and snapping photos of the
damage that U.N. officials had once called a
war crime.

The Assyrian Ziggurat, nearly 3,000 years

old and once one of the tallest surviving
buildings of the ancient world, has been leveled. On palace walls, only small fragments
of stone carvings remained. Two Assyrian
winged-bull statues that once marked the
palace entrance have been completely
destroyed. In a palace doorway, four deep
cracks defaced a large carving of an Assyrian
guardian spirit.
I didnt cry when Daesh destroyed my
home, but I really cried when I saw the video
of them destroying this site, said Sheikh
Khaled al-Jabouri, a tribal fighter from the

Nimrud area. These ruins are not just important to the people of this area, but to all of
Iraq.
Since they seized territory in Iraq and
Syria in 2014, the IS militants, also known
by the Arabic acronym Daesh, have
destroyed other cultural treasures that they
said promoted idolatry and violated their
fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic
law.
This was done by people who dont have
a place in humanity, said Maj. Gen. Dhiaa
al-Saadi, the deputy commander of Iraqi
ground forces, as he surveyed the ruins.

President urges nations not to

give in to isolationist impulses
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Standing in

democracys birthplace, President
Barack Obama on Wednesday issued a
parting plea to world leaders not to let
the fear of globalization tugging at
Europe and the U.S. pull them away
from their core democratic values. He
argued it wasnt too late for a course correction.
On his last foreign trip as president,
Obama has repeatedly tried to draw lessons from Donald Trumps victory in
the U.S. presidential election, hoping
it can serve as wake-up call in the U.S.
and abroad. Conceding that many feel
left behind by globalization, Obama
said there was an understandable
impulse toward isolationism and that if
people feel their futures are at risk,
theyll push back.
People have to know that theyre
being heard, Obama said in a speech to
the Greek people in Athens. But, he
added, We cant look backward for

answers. We have to look forward.

While fewer people in the U.S. are
looking to Obama for direction now
that his successor has been chosen and
his agenda largely rebuked, Obama has
retained significant clout abroad. His
message Wednesday appeared aimed at
other world leaders facing pressures of
nationalist movements and economic
anxiety, exemplified by Britains recent
vote to leave the European Union.
From Greece, Obama took a short
flight to Germany, which has emerged
as one of the strongest voices for preserving a unified, inclusive Europe. Yet
even German Chancellor Angela
Merkel faces her own threat from a
nationalist right-wing movement,
fueled in part by anger over her generous policy toward resettling Syrian
migrants pouring into Europe.
We cannot sever the connections
that have enabled so much progress,
Obama said.
Obamas argument centered on the
notion that economic inequality, while
a growing problem, can be addressed

without a full rejection of globalization. Rather, he said it demanded a

course correction.
In the years and decades ahead, our
countries have to make sure that the
benefits of an integrated global economy are more broadly shared by more
people and that the negative impacts
are squarely addressed.
Obama argued nations must strengthen alliances and expressed his confidence that the U.S. would remain loyal
to NATO despite Trumps suggestions
to the contrary during the 2016 presidential campaign.
He elicited nervous chuckles as he
acknowledged that he and the presidentelect could not be more different. But
in a message of reassurance, Obama
argued that democracy is bigger than
any one person.
As long as we retain our faith in
democracy, as long as we retain our
faith in the people, as long as we dont
waver from those central principles
that ensure a lively, open debate, then
our future will be ok, Obama said.

MARRAKECH, Morocco U.S. Secretary of State John

Kerry made a stirring appeal Wednesday to all countries
including his own to press ahead with
the fight against climate change, saying
a failure to do so would be a betrayal of
devastating consequences.
Without mentioning Donald Trump by
name, Kerrys speech at the U.N. climate
talks was partly aimed at the Republican
president-elect who has called global
warming a hoax and has pledged to
cancel the Paris deal limiting greenJohn Kerry
house gas emissions.
No one has the right to make decisions that affect billions of people based solely on ideology or without proper
input, Kerry said.
With 2016 on track to be the hottest year on record, Kerry
said the impacts of global warming are now evident across
the world with record-breaking droughts, rising sea levels,
unusual storms and millions of people displaced by weather
events.
At some point even the strongest skeptic has to
acknowledge that something disturbing is happening, he
said.
The U.S. election outcome has created deep uncertainty
about the U.S. role in international climate talks and
about the Paris Agreement adopted last year by more than
190 countries. But Kerry said the U.S. was already in the
midst of a clean energy transition that would continue
regardless of policy-making.
I can tell you with confidence that the United States is
right now today on our way to meeting all of the international targets we have set, Kerry said.

Bank rally fades, stocks fall; dollar hits 13-year high

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks finished barely lower Wednesday as

banks return some of the huge
gains theyve made since the presidential election last week, but
technology and consumer stocks
climbed. The dollar continued to
appreciate against other currencies and reached its highest mark
in 13 years.
Banks took the biggest losses
as a seven-day rally in that sector
petered out. Industrial companies,
also big gainers since the election, traded lower as well. The
price of oil gave back some of its
enormous gain from the day
before. Graphics processor maker
Nvidia and household names like
Apple and Microsoft led technology companies higher. Rising
stocks outnumbered decliners.
The dollar has been very strong
in recent years, just not this
strong, and its been pretty stable
compared to other currencies. But
in the wake of the election,
investors think the U.S. economy
might grow a bit faster and inflation might pick up.
Whats pushed the dollar higher
here in the short term is with the
Trump win, particularly combined
with (Republicans) holding on to
the Senate, said Scott Wren, a
senior global equity strategist at
the Wells Fargo Investment
Institute. Still, Wren doesnt think

The Dow Jones industrial average slid 54.92 points, or 0.3 percent, to 18,868.14. The Standard
& Poors 500 index lost 3. 45
points, or 0. 2 percent, to
2,176.94. The Nasdaq composite
picked up 18.96 points, or 0.4
percent, to 5,294.58.
After a long losing streak before
the election, the Dow had risen for
seven days in a row through
Tuesday and set several all-time
highs. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq
have also made large gains and are
near the records they set this fall.
JPMorgan Chase led banks
lower as it fell $1.96, or 2.5 percent, to $77. 40 and Morgan
Stanley lost 81 cents, or 2 percent, to $39.19. Banks are coming off their best single week

since the financial crisis as

investors hope for higher interest
rates and more profits from lending, as well as cutbacks in regulations that could boost bank profits.
The ICE U. S. Dollar Index,
which measures the dollar against
six other currencies, rose to its
highest level since April of 2003.
The dollar is rising in part because
investors think the Federal
Reserve will raise interest rates at
a faster pace in response to inflation stemming from the increased
spending that President-elect
Donald Trump has proposed.
A stronger dollar hurts U. S.
companies that do a lot of business overseas because it makes
their products more expensive,
and it affects their earnings when

they are translated from other currencies back into U.S. dollars.
However it makes imported goods
cheaper for consumers in the U.S.
The dollar slipped 109. 15
Japanese yen from 109.32 yen
late Tuesday. The euro slid to
$1.0681 from $1.0718.
Technology companies moved
upward as they continued a rally
from a day earlier. Graphics
processor maker Nvidia rose
$5.44, or 6.3 percent, to $91.63
after it announced a collaboration
with Microsoft, and Apple picked
up $2. 93, or 2. 7 percent, to
$110.04.
Tech stocks had weakened since
the election. Trumps policies
might affect their sales in China
and other key markets, and a big
surge this summer had brought

some technology stocks to alltime highs.

Retailer Target raised its profit
forecast and its sales projections
for the third quarter with the holiday season approaching. That
came as the retailer gave a strong
third-quarter report, as it put more
emphasis on low prices after it
stumbled in the second quarter.
The stock gained $4.59, or 6.4
percent, to $76.03.
TJX, the parent of TJ Maxx and
Marshalls, reported a bigger profit and better sales than investors
expected and its stock gained
$2.90, or 3.9 percent, to $76.39.
That helped lead consumer stocks
higher.
Home improvement retailer
Lowes fell after it said traffic in
stores was low during the third
quarter, and Lowes reported a
smaller
third-quarter
profit
because of several big charges.
Lowes lost $2.03, or 2.9 percent,
to $67.02.
Oil prices slipped. Benchmark
U.S. crude lost 24 cents to $45.57
a barrel in New York. Brent crude,
which is used to price international oils, fell 32 cents to $46.63 a
barrel in London. The price of
U.S. crude oil soared Tuesday as
investors hoped the oil-producing
OPEC countries will agree to a
production cut that would boost
prices.
Energy companies fell. They
had rallied on Tuesday along with
the price of crude oil.

Twitter suspends several alt-right accounts

By Bree Fowler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Twitter has suspended the accounts of several

prominent members of the socalled alt-right in an apparent
crack down on accounts tied to
hate speech or threats of violence.
Twitter declined comment, but
noted that its policies forbid violent threats, hate speech or harassment and promise to take action
against violators. The company
also announced Tuesday that it was
expanding ways for users to report

harassment and curb the amount of

abuse they see, a reaction to a
growing problem of abuse, bullying and harassment on the internet.
The alt-right, short for alternative right, is a loose group
espousing a provocative and reactionary strain of conservatism.
Its often associated with far right
efforts to preserve white identity, oppose multiculturalism and
defend Western values.
The movement drew national
attention during the presidential
campaign,
especially
after

Stephen Bannon of the Breitbart

website, considered by many to be
the alt-rights platform, joined
Donald Trumps campaign. Trump
recently named Bannon as the
White House chief strategist.
Richard Spencer, head of the
National Policy Institute, a white
nationalist think tank, said in an
interview that his personal Twitter
account and accounts for the institute and his magazine were all suspended this week without notification.
Spencer, who is credited with
popularizing the term alt-right,

says he has never called for violence and hasnt tweeted anything
recently that might provoke a suspension. He called the suspensions a coordinated attack against
users with certain viewpoints.
While he acknowledged that
Twitter is a company and has a
right to do as it pleases, he says it
also needs to accept that it has
evolved into something bigger
and needs to act accordingly.
This is 2016 and we live in a
digital world, he said. Twitter is
how the president releases press
releases and its also how teenage

Facebook apologizes
for latest metrics errors
NEW YORK Facebook says it will work
with independent companies like Nielsen
and comScore to review more of its metrics
after it uncovered new problems with the
data it provides to advertisers and publishers that use its network.
Facebook had apologized to advertisers in
September for errors that led to overstating
how long users watched videos.
On Wednesday, the Menlo Park,
California, company said in a post that it
miscalculated four metrics, including undercounting how many people watched all of a
video and overcounting how much time people spent reading Instant Articles, which
loads stories from publishers like The New
York Times and Washington Post more
quickly on Facebook.
Facebook and Google together account

Vast shale oil field in Texas

could yield 20 billion barrels
DALLAS A vast field of shale rock in
West Texas could yield 20 billion barrels of
oil, making it the largest source of shale oil
the U. S. Geological Survey has ever
assessed, agency officials said.

Twitter is not just some website. Its a public space and we
have to treat it that way.
Pax Dickinson, who was ousted
as chief technology officer of the
website Business Insider in 2013
for sending offensive tweets, says
he also wasnt given a reason for
his Twitter suspension. But he
says it likely stemmed from a
tweet he sent director Joss Whedon
that included an anti-gay slur.
Dickinson says hes appealed
the suspension, but has yet to hear
back from Twitter.

mated 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids,
the agency said in a release Tuesday.
The discovery is nearly three times larger
than the shale oil found in 2013 in the
Bakken and Three Forks formations in the
Dakotas and Montana, said Chris Schenk, a
Denver-based research geologist for the
agency.
Geologists explain that oil recovered
from shale rock is considered unconventional compared to other oil found in the
ground because extracting it requires
advanced drilling or recovery methods, such
as hydraulic fracturing.

Cisco tops Street 1Q forecasts

SAN JOSE Cisco Systems Inc. on
Wednesday reported fiscal first-quarter profit of $2.32 billion.
The San Jose-based company said it had
net income of 46 cents per share. Earnings,
adjusted for one-time gains and costs, were
61 cents per share.
The results surpassed Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of 15 analysts
surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was
for earnings of 59 cents per share.
The seller of routers, switches, software
and services posted revenue of $12.35 billion in the period, which also topped Street
forecasts. Ten analysts surveyed by Zacks
expected $12.34 billion.

M-A hardly breaks a sweat in Nor Cal win

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Opening games in the California

Interscholastic Federation volleyball tournament tend to be mismatches. Thats truer
this year than ever before, with the transition from a eight-team to 16-team brackets
in each division, plus the addition of the
Open Division bracket which opens the
door for an additionl 16 teams to advance to
the Northern California field.
Menlo-Atherton (27-5) benefitted from

just such a mismatch

Wednesday, as the No. 1
seed in the Northern
California Division I
bracket, M-A cruised past
No. 16 Skyline-Oakland
(11-7) in straight sets
25-6, 25-4, 25-7.
With a rout being
anticipated
from the
Kathryn Jones
early going, it gave time
for the newest M-A player to get her head in
the game. Sophomore opposite Kathryn

Jones ultimately made her varsity debut in

Game 3 and did not disappoint, recording
her first career kill off a set from senior
Casey Olsen with a right side attack. She
went on to total two kills, adding her second to force match point.
She did well, M-A head coach Fletcher
Anderson said. She killed it on [junior varsity]. She kind of led that team so when
it came time for CCS, we decided to call her
up.
Jones was called up from the JV squad for
M-As Central Coast Section Open Division

opener a loss to Notre Dame-Belmont

but did not play. With Wednesdays
blowout atmosphere lulling from the early
going, the rowdiest the team got all night
was in cheering for the sophomore as she
took the floor.
It was kind of embarrassing but it was
exciting, Jones said.
Despite the lopsided score, M-A did well
to keep its head in the game and stay on
point. Skyline managed just one dig in

Warriors hold off Raptors

Rams to play for

the national title

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

o, Im not making some kind of

prediction about the future of the
NFL. Im talking Pop Warner football and the San Bruno-based West Bay
Rams.
The clubs Junior PeeWee football team
(8 to 11-year-olds) will represent Northern
California in the Pop Warner Division I
Super Bowl at the ESPN Wide World of
Sports Complex at Disney World the first
week of December.
Seven years ago is
the last time the Rams
sent somebody to the
national tournament,
said Jeff Thomas, the
teams assistant
coach.
The Rams earned
the bid by beating
East Bay 20-16 in the
regional championship game at San
Jose State University
Nov. 5.
Whats really cool about that is they
were the only team that beat us during the
regular season, said Thomas, who quickly
remembered East Bay handed the Rams a
28-0 drubbing earlier in the year.
It was the only loss on the season for the
Rams, who are currently 10-1. They went
7-1 during the regular season, before posting a 3-0 mark in the playoffs. They
opened the postseason with a 26-0 win
over Menlo, before thrashing Morgan Hills
33-14. Morgan Hills is a team Thomas said
was the favorite to win the regional title.
That win set up the rematch with East Bay.
In addition to preparing for the actual
game itself, the Rams will be using the
next several weeks to raise money to cover
travel expenses. Those who wish to help
the team and their families make the trip
can go to the teams GoFundMe page at
gofundme.com/wbr2016.
Weve raised almost $8,000. Thats
about the third of the way there (to the goal
of $30,000), Thomas said, who added the
team will continue to raise funds all the way
through the event to make sure there are no
shortages.

TORONTO Drake Night or not, the

Golden State Warriors pushed aside the
Toronto Raptors.
Though the Canadian rapper and Toronto
Raptors global ambassador had never had
to witness his hometown team losing on
his special night the rst three years it had
been held, he was powerless to stop the
star-studded Warriors leaving town with a
127-121 victory Wednesday night.
It didnt stop him chirping the Golden
State bench at various points, particularly
in the rst quarter when the Raptors were up
by 10 points.
Hes been talking junk for a couple
weeks now, talking about they were going
to beat us and that its Drake night,
Draymond Green. He may be a little disappointed.
Stephen Curry had 35 points and Kevin
Durant added 30 in the victory, the
Warriors fth straight overall as well as
their fth consecutive win over Toronto.
While Golden State coach Steve Kerr was
a little upset at how the rst quarter unfolded, giving up 38 points to the Raptors, he
termed the second quarter, one of the best
quarters weve played.
Case in point, the Warriors restricted the
Raptors to 5-for-24 shooting, outscoring
them 32-15 and ending the half on a 21-4
run to seize a 66-53 lead at the break. The
66 points were the most the Raptors have
given up in a rst half at home since surrendering 71 to the Los Angeles Clippers on
Jan. 25, 2014.
While incorporating Durant into the
offense remains a work in progress, the
team continued to share the ball around the
likes of former most valuable players Curry
and Durant, with the team nishing with 33
assists on 44 baskets. It was the seventh
time this season that the team has had 30plus assists.
Offensively were moving the ball, no
one is in each others way and were making
shots, Durant said. We could have had 40
assists tonight.
DeMar DeRozan had a team-high 34
points for the Raptors, while Kyle Lowry

Skyline hoping to shoot its way to success

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Skyline College mens basketball team

is off to a decent start to the 2016-17 season,
having gone 3-2 in its first five games.
So far, not bad, said Skyline coach Justin
Piergrossi. Weve got a relatively young,
thin, inexperienced team, but we have kids
who are getting better already and working
really hard.
The Trojans split their first two games of
the season, beating Alameda in 79-66 in the
opener before falling 75-65 to De Anza. They
then went 2-1 at the Solano College tournament, beating Los Medanos (67-65) and
Redwoods (94-82), with a 74-66 loss to
Sacramento sandwiched between.
Skyline is averaging 74 points per game,
shooting 45 percent from the field and 34.6
from behind the 3-point line. Sophomores
Antonio Hughes and Justin Gutang
(Burlingame) are off to fast starts, averaging
17.8 and 11.8 points, respectively. KeDraun
Buckner, a red-shirt freshman who missed last
season with a stress fracture in his foot, is
averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting
62 percent from the field.
[Buckner is] playing pretty well,
Piergrossi said. Hes shooting the ball pretty
well. Hes a good all-around player.

In order for us to be successful, we have to have great spacing,

move the ball. We want open shots. If a 3 is open, well take it.
They have to be good looks because I think we can shoot it.
Justin Piergrossi, Skyline College mens basketball coach

Piergrossi intends to go about nine, 10

players deep this season and freshman Jake
Salinero out of Half Moon Bay is already making a contribution, appearing in all five
games so far for the Trojans. His biggest concern is just learning to play at the college
level, Piergrossi said.
Hes gotten off to a good start, Piergrossi
said. Hes definitely ready to play. Hes kind
of figuring out at our level what he can and
cant do, and hes done a good job of learning
that on the fly.
There is an interesting note, however, when
one looks at the teams roster. Ten of the
teams 13 players are listed as guards and
Piergrossi will go even further than that.
Were pretty much all guards this year, the
13th year coach said. Ive never had a team
without a post player. Almost every year,
weve had a 6-8, 6-9 guy.
The lack of height means the Trojans will
need to be deadly with their shooting stroke
and Piergrossi believes he has players who

can shoot relatively well.

In order for us to be successful, we have to
have great spacing, move the ball. We want
open shots, Piergrossi said. If a 3 is open,
well take it. They have to be good looks
because I think we can shoot it.
Piergrossi pointed to the Trojans 94 points
scored in the win over College of the
Redwoods as to what can happen when the
team is on top of its game.
We played our best game (against
Redwoods), Piergrossi said. We didnt do
anything different. We just executed better.
Its a learning process.
Shooting, however, will not help with the
other critical part of the game rebounding.
But Piergrossi has been impressed with his
teams collective rebounding effort. The
Trojans are averaging 36 rebounds per game
early in the season as everyone is crashing the
boards.
[Rebounding consistently is] definitely a
challenge for us. Weve done a pretty good job

of holding our own on the boards. Theyre

gang rebounding, Piergrossi said. Some of
the teams we play (early in the season) dont
have a lot of size, but everyone weve played
has been bigger than us.
There will be a lot more urgency in the
rebounding department when the Trojans enter
Coast Conference play and take on the likes
of City College of San Francisco, which is a
state-champion contender year in and year
out.
When we get in league, its a whole different ball game. Size will be a factor,
Piergrossi said. A lot of the other stuff we can
control, but we cant control height.
Our league is so good, in order to win
league, we have to be able to win a state championship.
While teams may have an advantage in the
size department, Piergrossi is hoping his
teams shooting prowess, combined with
matchup problems a small lineup can present,
can keep the Trojans in games when they do
run up against a bunch of trees.
Theyll have a hard time playing us. We
can spread teams out and everyone of our guys
can put the ball on the floor and they can all
shoot, Piergrossi said. Were definitely not
attempting an abnormal number of 3s. I
think this year were going to make 3s, not
just take them.

49ers call on 2012 memories of win over Pats

SANTA CLARA The previous time the
49ers squared off with Tom Brady and the
Patriots, they considered themselves equals
among the NFLs elite.
They traveled to Foxborough, Mass., and
on a cold, rainy December night in 2012 and
escaped with a 41-34 victory.
They played in the Super Bowl seven weeks
later and lost to the Ravens, who beat the
Patriots in the AFC championship game.
It was a great feeling to go up there, get
that victory, especially against a team like
that, Colin Kaepernick said, whos one of
seven 49ers that remain from that team.
Kaepernick was in his second season and
took over as the starting quarterback for Alex
Smith at the halfway point of the regular season. He helped San Francisco beat Brady by
throwing for 221 yards and four touchdowns.
It was huge and it was another confidencebuilder for our team, for myself at that point
in time, that we were playing one of the best
teams in the league and went there on the

road, Kaepernick said. I think we have a

similar opportunity this week to play a very
good Patriots team and go out and get a victory.
The teams are no longer considered equals
ahead of the Patriots visit Sunday.
San Francisco (1-8) has the NFLs secondworst record, while the Patriots are clicking
at 7-2 despite missing Brady for the first four
games while he was suspended because of the
Deflategate controversy.
Its a huge mismatch between a team that
could be picking first in the next NFL draft
and a favorite to play in the Super Bowl. The
49ers have fallen on hard times, while New
England remains one of the leagues most
successful teams.
Its an opportunity first-year 49ers coach
Chip Kelly is relishing. An unlikely victory
against the Patriots would snap an eightgame losing streak and become the highlight
of an otherwise lost season.
Kelly has a relationship with New England
coach Bill Belichick dating back to when he
was an offensive coordinator at nearby

University
of
New
Hampshire from 1999 to
2006.
Kelly used to visit and
observe Belichicks practices. The two would share
ideas about improving
their operations and practices. Kelly has been at
the forefront of integratChip Kelly
ing sports science into
football.
Just when you get a
chance to watch arguably
one of the best coaches in
the history of the game
coach on a daily basis,
Kelly said of his meetings
with Belichick, how
organized he is, how is
Bill Belichick detailed he is, how in tune
he is to putting his players in position to make plays and just really
how gracious and nice he is.
Belichick said Kelly helped generate ideas

that hes incorporated into his teams routine.

I think Chips got a lot of great ideas,
Belichick said. I think his overall organization as an offensive system, practice schedule, training. ... We talked about a lot of
those things and Ive learned a lot from him.
Kelly also has a win over Belichick. Last
season his Eagles pulled out a 35-28 victory
in Foxborough, despite coming in as significant underdogs.
Kellys team benefited from three nonoffensive touchdowns, scoring on a blocked
punt, 99-yard interception return and 83-yard
punt return from Darren Sproles.
NOTES: Belichick said he had tremendous respect for former 49ers Hall of Fame
owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. in his conference
call Wednesday. (I) couldnt really put it into
words, Belichick said. DeBartolo will be
honored at halftime Sunday after getting
enshrined to the Hall of Fame last summer. ...
49ers WR Torrey Smith missed a second
straight practice Wednesday with a back
injury.

Raiders rookie
thriving as an
extra lineman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA After failing to

hear his name called during last
springs NFL draft, Denver
Kirklands number is getting called
quite often for the Oakland Raiders
this season.
Kirkland has gone from the disappointment of being undrafted
despite leaving
Arkansas early
to making the
Raiders initially
as a practice
squad player to
becoming a key
contributor as
Oaklands extra
offensive lineDenver
man.
Kirkland
Ki rk l an d
played nearly half the offensive
snaps against Denver on Nov. 6 as
the sixth lineman for the Raiders (72), with each entry onto the field
accompanied by the announcement
by the referee that No. 79 is an eligible receiver.
Its been fun, Kirkland said.
Its just nice to be out there going
to war with the boys I practice with

every week.
The season has been a lot more
fun for Kirkland than the draft. He
decided to leave Arkansas early but a
poor performance at the combine
led to him going undrafted.
The Raiders showed interest in
Kirkland even before the end of the
draft, calling him to tell him they
wanted him as an undrafted free
agent if no team took him.
Kirkland got his chance after
blocking tight end Lee Smith went
on injured reserve with a lower-leg
injury on Oct. 5. Kirkland had been
promoted to the active roster the
previous week because of injuries
on the offensive line but didnt get a
chance to play until Smiths injury.
With Oaklands other tight ends,
Clive Walford and Mychal Rivera,
more skilled as receivers than
blockers, the Raiders started utilizing the six-lineman package more
often.
Kirkland played 27 snaps in his
first game against San Diego on
Oct. 9 and has looked right at home
on the field as part of a line that has
been one of the leagues best this
season at both run and pass blocking.

Futbol americano is a passion in Mexico

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY Dressed in

their classic silver and black uniforms, the Raiders players huddle
before kickoff. After words of
encouragement and a prayer, the
teenagers finish with head butts,
shoulder slaps and a battle cry:
Uno, dos, tres... vamos!
This is, after all, south of the
border, where football has a century-old tradition, rivals soccer in
popularity and millions of kids
like the Raiders de Arboleda play
futbol americano American
football every weekend.
The NFL returns to Mexico after
an 11-year absence when the
Texans face the Raiders in a regular
season game on Nov. 21 in soldout Azteca Stadium. For the
Mexican Raiders and others
across the country, football is part
of Mexican sports tradition as
much as soccer, boxing and lucha
libre.
Football gives you the chance
to take your passion to the field,
to hit people and not get fined,
said Raiders quarterback Gabriel
Anaya, 16. Maybe thats why its
so popular.
The NFL has around 25 million
fans in Mexico, the biggest number outside of the U.S., and its
base is still growing, said Arturo
Olive, director of the NFL office in
Mexico. The league sponsors
6,500 teams in youth programs in
27 of 32 Mexican states, and esti-

The love affair with football might be surprising. But

Mexico has two popular college leagues with 36
teams, a six-team professional league, and up
to 10 NFL games are on basic cable each week.
mates 2.5 million kids play flag
football in elementary schools.
Eight years ago, we played in
only six states and had 120
teams, Olive said. The growth
has been exponential.
In a country steeped in soccer
culture, and one that has hosted
two FIFA World Cups, the love
affair with football might be surprising. But Mexico has two popular college leagues with 36
teams, a six-team professional
league, and up to 10 NFL games are
on basic cable each week.
The local soccer league has nine
games each week, and not all of
them are on TV.
Fans can even watch the
Thursday and Monday night games
at the movie theater. Soccer gets
the big-screen treatment only for
World Cup matches.
I also used to play soccer,
Anaya said, but preferred this
sport.
Football was introduced in the
country in 1896 by Mexican students returning home from U.S.
colleges. They brought back an
oval shaped ball, said Alejandro
Morales, a local football historian
and founder of Mexicos football
hall of fame. He said the first offi-

cial match was played that year in

the city of Jalapa in the Gulf state
of Veracruz, where the students and
their friends faced a team of
American sailors from a U.S. ship
anchored in the nearby port.
Soon after, several teams were
created in Veracruz and eventually
the sport spread to Mexico City
and local colleges. UNAM, the
national state university with over
200,000 students, started playing
in the 1920s, and by the 50s,
most of the Mexican colleges
where playing the game that, at
the time, rivaled soccer in popularity. UNAMs famed Estadio
Olimpico, site of the 1968
Summer Olympics, was used mainly for football in the first decade
after its inauguration in 1950.
Back then, football used to
share the spotlight with soccer,
Morales said. Eventually that
faded, because football was not
seen as a business. It was played in
college and they just wanted to
help the students, while soccer
was run by professionals.
Although football fell behind
soccer, it remained hugely popular. The NFL noticed and on Aug.

Michael Jordan in 1987-88.
It was scant consolation for the NBAs

The Raptors dropped to 5-2 this season
when DeRozan and Lowry combine to score
50 or more points.

which they lost last year to Redondo Union.
We want to win state, DiSanto said.
Especially because its Division I, with the

thought [playing in Division I] was good
because wed have a better chance of winning.
For DiSanto though, getting knocked out
of the CCS Open Division bracket by NDB

Two Maryland football players

charged in pellet gun shootings

Several NBA coaches have been critical of

Trump since the election, including Golden
States Steve Kerr and San Antonios Gregg
Popovich.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. University of

Maryland Police say they have charged two
football players with shooting three students
with a pellet gun.
The department said in a news release that
Darryl Turner II of Glenarden and Lorenzo
Harrison III of Clinton, who are both 19, were
charged with three counts each of assault and
reckless endangerment.
The football team announced on Saturday
that Turner, a receiver, and Harrison, a running
back, were suspended indefinitely for violating the schools student-athlete code of conduct. At that time, the university did not detail
reasons for the suspensions.
Campus police say on Nov. 6, three students reported by struck by pellets from a gun.
It could not be immediately determined who
Turner and Harrisons lawyers are.

The only San Mateo County team to qualify for the CIF Open Division was Notre
Dame-Belmont, which opens as the No. 4
seed at home Thursday night at 7 p.m.
against No. 5-seed Marin Catholic.
Id rather be playing Notre Dame,
DiSanto said. It would be more fun regardless if we won or not.
M-As competition figures to get steeper
in a hurry. As Division Is No. 1 seed, the
Bears can host as many as four home games,
including the Northern California finals on
Nov. 26 should they advance as far. The
state championships will be held Dec. 2 at
Santiago Canyon College in Orange.
The Bears will host either No. 8 Tracy or
No. 9 Los Gatos at 7 p.m. Saturday in a second-round game.
In other first-round Nor Cal action, Menlo
School, the top seed in Division IV, rolled
over Bear River-Grass Valley, beating the

Bruins in three sets, 25-15, 25-23, 25-14.

Menlo will host either No. 8 Cardinal
Newman or No. 9 West Valley at 7 p.m.
Saturday in a second-round matchup.
The Knights neighbor and rival, Sacred
Heart Prep, also advanced in the Division IV
bracket. The Gators needed four sets to beat
No. 14 Bret Harte-Angels Camp 25-21, 2325, 25-17, 25-20. SHP will host No. 6 St.
Joes-Alameda in a second-round match at 7
p.m. Saturday. The Pirates, beat No. 11
Willows in five sets, 25-15, 22-25, 25-16,
23-25, 15-5.
Burlingame, the No. 3 seed in the
Division III bracket which had a first-round
bye, will host No. 6 Buhach ColonyAtwater in the second round at 7 p. m.
Saturday.
Buhach Colony topped No. 11 AlhambraMartinez in straight sets, 25-19, 25-16, 2516.

The Memphis Grizzlies are another team

that isnt staying at Trump properties.
It had nothing to do with the election.
We made those decisions months ago,
coach David Fizdale said Wednesday night
before a game against the Clippers. We didnt stay in Trump hotels when I was in

to stay in places I was familiar with. It had

Wednesday.
USADA says the 38-year-old
Machida failed an out-of-competition test in April for a prohibited
anabolic agent. The organization
says Machida acknowledged using
the substance, claiming he didnt
know it was banned.
Machida was subsequently pulled
from a bout with Dan Henderson.

Machidas ban is retroactive to

April, making him eligible to
return in October 2017. His suspension was reduced from a standard two-year ban for acknowledging his mistake, USADA says.

He shared this last win of 2016

with those who never wavered in
their support, admitting, It was
hard not to start balling and crying.
Clevelands Corey Kluber was
third and got three first-place

save chances with a 0.54 ERA, had
five first-place votes and was
fourth.
Scherzer breezed, drawing 25
first-place votes to beat out
Chicago Cubs teammates Jon
Lester and Kyle Hendricks.
Scherzer became the sixth pitcher to earn the Cy Young in both
leagues. After earning the AL
honor in 2013 with the Tigers,
Scherzer joined Roger Clemens,
Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez,
Gaylord Perry and Roy Halladay as
winners in both leagues.
This award, Scherzer said, meant
even more than the first one.
It just verifies everything I try

Scherzer posted a record-tying

20-strikeout performance for the

NL East champion Nationals, a
year after he threw two no-hitters
in his first season with
Washington.

Scherzer is the first pitcher from
a Washington franchise to win a
Cy Young. The award was first presented in 1956.
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw
got three first-place votes and finished fifth. Jose Fernandez, the
Miami star killed in a boating
accident in September, was seventh.
The final major postseason
awards will be presented Thursday
when the MVP honors are
announced.
Cubs slugger Kris Bryant,
Washingtons Daniel Murphy and
newly presented Rookie of the
Year Corey Seager of the Dodgers
are up for the NL award. Mike Trout
of the Angels, Mookie Betts of the
Red Sox and Jose Altuve of the
Astros are the AL contestants.

Cowboys in the same venue.

The first regular season game
was played in 2005, when the
Arizona Cardinals played the San
Francisco 49ers in front of
103,467 fans in Azteca Stadium,
then an NFL record. Since 2007,
the league has held games annually in Great Britain including
three each season since 2014
but never returned to Mexico, until
now.
We were ready when the opportunity presented itself, said
Olive, who has run the NFL
Mexico office since 2008. Now
we have a commitment to be successful with a game of this magnitude.
Azteca Stadium, built in 1966
and home to the popular soccer
club America, underwent several
renovations to meet NFL stan-

dards, including new locker rooms

exclusive for the football teams,
new ramps and improved communication systems. The size
decreased from 100,000 to 84,000
to improve seating, and all tickets
were sold out in less than two
hours, Olive said.
Most fans will be rooting for the
Raiders, the fifth most-popular
team in Mexico behind the
Steelers, Cowboys, Patriots and
49ers, according to the NFL.
Among them will be Anaya and
his friends from the Raiders team
in Arboleda, a suburb north of this
sprawling metropolis.
A lot of players on the team
have been playing here since they
were little kids and are Raider
fans, Anaya said, so they are
very excited about the game.

Machida held the UFCs 205pound title from 2009-10. He

moved to middleweight and lost a
title fight to Chris Weidman in July
2014, starting off a string of three
losses in his last four fights.

You can prepare the ground

now for sowing wildflowers
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wildflowers are among the easiest

plants to grow, especially if you copy
Mother Nature. For cool climate gardeners, that means spreading seed over
the ground after the first killing frost
and before the ground hardens. Natural
germination inhibitors will keep them
from sprouting if temperatures warm.
Seeds can be sown well into winter
for people who live in the Deep South,
but its best to get that done ahead of
the seasonal rains.
A lot of (wild) grasses are good to
go. You can plant them in spring or
fall, said Bill Carter, president of
Prairie Moon Nursery near Winona,
Minnesota. But for most of the flowers, especially the mixes, planting in
the fall is best.
Prepare the ground by clearing away
as many competing plants as possible.
Rake to loosen the soil and rip away
roots before surface seeding. Roto-tilling makes things easier if dealing with
bare root wildflower plants or shoots.
Mass plantings can be done after
some snow is on the ground, Carter
said. You can see the throw pattern
better. And the freeze-thaw action of
early winter actually draws seed into
the ground. That naturally drills it in.

Most of Prairie Moons wildflower

seed orders come in the spring but sales
for larger projects generally occur in
autumn. Thats when the pros do their
planting, Carter said.
Choose bare root plants, plugs or
seedlings if you want your wildflower
gardening to be fast and easy, said
Mike Lizotte, a managing partner of
American Meadows, a gardening company in Shelburne, Vermont.
For most consumers, it all comes
down to the size of the area to be planted, Lizotte said. They all want speed.
But once you get over 100 square feet,
when you calculate how many plugs,
bare root plants and seedlings are
required, that can amount to hundreds or
even thousands of dollars.
Youll get the same results with seeds
within a couple of years, he said. That
makes them a whole lot cheaper.
Most gardeners like perennials
because they continue to flower year
after year. But they wont flower the
first year, Lizotte said. Incorporate
some annuals for immediate color.
Combination seed packages seem to
be the most popular choice for wildflower buyers, he said. Get a good mix
of perennials and annuals with 20 to 30
species in it.
Shop around for wildflowers rather
than seeking them out in the woods.

Prepare the ground by clearing away as many competing plants as possible. Rake to loosen the soil and
rip away roots before surface seeding.
The odds are against such plants surviving being transplanted because
they often require habitats different
from those in your yard.
Its illegal to pull them out of the
ground on most public lands, Lizotte
said. That can draw a stiff fine.
And be careful when shopping. Many
seed packages come with a high percentage of filler. Ideally, you would be
able to see whats in them or be able to
determine how much is pure seed and
how much is inert matter, Lizotte said.

Eco-friendly ways
to save leftovers
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Holiday meals tend to mean lots of leftovers; either we make enough for an army,
or the army we expected didnt materialize.
If youre worried about the environmental impact of that king-size roll of plastic
wrap or that stack of disposable plastic
tubs, here are some alternatives:

GLASS JARS, STAINLESS STEEL

The key to storing leftovers in an ecofriendly way is to use and reuse what
you already own, says Madeleine

NEW ALTERNATIVES
Bees Wrap, invented by Bristol,
Vermont, mom and gardener Sarah Kaeck,
is a beeswax, jojoba oil and resin-coated
organic cloth that can be used to cover
bowls or to wrap breads. It comes in several sizes and warms to a pleasing malleability when handled. The wraps last about a
year, and can be cleaned with cool water.
(www.beeswrap.com)
And if you find it hard to relinquish zippered plastic bags, consider Bio Bags.
Theyre made of plant starch, so when
youve eaten up the leftovers you can compost the bag. (www.grove.co)

FREEZE IT
Kris Bordessa, who writes a blog called
Attainable Sustainable, suggests: When
its time to clean up after dinner, we often
have small amounts of vegetables or sauces
left in the pan. Not quite enough for a leftover lunch, but enough that I dont want to
waste it.
She collects those odds and ends in containers in the freezer. When she makes
soups, she reaches for one of those jars.
The trick, she notes, is not to mix incompatible flavors.
She also freezes small quantities in muffin tins. Once the foods frozen solid, she
wraps it in wax paper and foil to store.
HGTVs Scott McGillivray also utilizes
his freezer: I use a lot of fresh herbs from
my
garden
while
cooking
for
Thanksgiving, so I cut up the leftovers and
freeze them in olive oil in ice cube trays.
You can toss the frozen cubes in a sauce pan
or frying pan for a future meal and youre
good to go.
He also uses ice-cube trays for leftover
wine. In the unlikely event you actually
have wine left over, you can freeze it and
use it to enhance your next dish.

DISPATCH

Operations Center.
The two-story, 37,000-square-foot seismically safe center will be built on the
County Center campus, formerly the site of
the countys motor pool. Construction will
begin on the project early next year and is
scheduled for completion spring 2018.
Jaime Young, capital projects unit coordinator
with
Public
Safety
Communications, has been with the county
dispatch center for 34 years and said that
the project is a collaboration of ideas
between dispatchers and supervisors and
county agencies who have put a priority on
the protection and well-being of its
employees.
It is so gratifying that the Board of
Supervisors and the County Managers
Office has identified this as a critical need,
Young said.
She said the construction of the building
is not only going to improve the working
environment for county dispatchers, but

said. So we want to do what we can to
encourage kids to get good sleep.
Studies show teens require more sleep than
other age groups, as they go to bed later and
need to rest more in the morning. Sleep
shortage can harm student mental health and
adversely affect their performance in the
classroom, according to a district report.
The proposed shift is similar to action
taken in 2009 by the Sequoia Union High
School District Board of Trustees for similar
reasons. Carlmont High School, the last
school in the district to adopt the shift,
adjusted its schedule in accordance last year.

also the technology used to swiftly respond

to any incident called in by a county resident.
Referred to around county center as the
ROC, or Regional Operations Center, the
building will allow for 300 people seated on
the ground floor in a multi-purpose room
that will be dedicated as the countys
Emergency Operations Center, Young said.
There will be two media truck ports for news
feeds and a large area that can be used for
countywide training.
The second floor is where the dispatchers
will work. The space will feature floor-toceiling windows, better work lighting, a
full-function kitchen, fitness center and
break room. There will be space for 22 consoles, and will allow for the county to have
up to 120 dispatchers if needed. The county
currently employs 48 dispatchers in its current location.
A retractable wall will be used to block
dispatch from a training center but can be
pulled back to allow for five additional consoles to be used in a large-scale emergency,
Young said.
The interior will be furnished with stateof-the-art sit-stand workspaces, each with
eight computer monitors. Current consoles

have six monitors. The space for dispatchers will nearly double, Young said, adding
that the department now is housed in about
1,400 square feet of space, while the new
facility will provide the department with a
spacious 3,000-square-foot space.
According to Laurie Armstrong, a dispatch supervisor with the county since
1991, the dark basement location has been
a bit dismal but it never held anyone back
from performing a stellar job.
It is so nice that the Board of Supervisors
and County Managers Office have finally
realized that we deserve better, Armstrong
said. But we have always been able to work
down here and havent known any better.
Although it will be great to be able to look
out the window and see if the sun is shining
or if its raining that could help us
explain why there might be three calls for
accidents on 280 within minutes.
While the environment will certainly
allow for dispatchers to enjoy a much more
comfortable and less stressful workspace,
the interior improvements will offer county
residents a more improved system and one
that moves with the changing times,
according to officials.
There is a tech wave coming in the 911

industry, the Next Generation 911 will

bring a lot of software together and fuse data
points this will become a real-time crime
center with data mining, video streaming,
photographs, background call information
and more, Young said.
The new technology will replace the old
copper telephone-voice system in use since
1989 with an IP-based system the will combine a ton of aggregated data that will help
dispatchers improve their service, Young
said.
For instance, new technology will allow
for residents to text for help or send a photo
or video clip of an incident to better aid dispatchers.
The timing couldnt be better in terms of
matching our equipment needs with the
changing 911 technology, Young said of
the buildings timeline.
The first building constructed on the government center site in more than 25 years,
the county contracted McCarthy Building
Co. using a Design-Build-Entity that
includes architect firm AECOM. The
Entity aspect is the contractual relationship between the builder and the architect.
A groundbreaking will be scheduled in
early 2017.

San Mateo Union High School District

schools currently start at 8 a.m., except for
Hillsdale High School, which starts 15 minutes earlier. Up for discussion during the
meeting is starting schools at 8:30 a.m., or
pushing the first bell back a collective 150
minutes over the course of the week.
Should the initiative move ahead, Skelly
said each school site would be granted some
authority to manage the shift to best address
the needs of each specific community.
The district will allow sites, within certain parameters, to have different bell schedules, he said.
As officials examine the shift, they must
consider traffic patterns and commute
times as well as an obligation to meet
state mandates for instructional time balanced against terms included in the labor
agreement with teachers and other staff,

according to the report.

Everyone has to make a contribution to
this issue, Skelly said.
Momentum toward the start time shift
began when district officials recently
approved installing permanent lights at
school athletic fields, granting greater bell
schedule flexibility as student athletes will
not be rushing from the classroom to practice or games after school to take advantage
of limited daylight hours.
Should officials favor moving ahead with
the initiative during the upcoming discussion, the issue would come back during a
meeting in December for approval with an
eye to establishing new bell schedules over
the spring in preparation for the next school
year.
To assure the concerns of stakeholders are
adequately addressed, feedback should be

gathered from city officials, along with the

opinion of the athletic community and parent organizations, according to the report.
In all, the school officials should begin
the process of reaching out to community
members and rallying support for the initiative believed to be in the best interest of students, said Skelly.
But he added he expected there to be some
hurdles along the way, as students, officials
and members of the school community collaborate to make the proposal work.
Its not going to be easy, he said.
Whenever you move something like this,
you have got challenges.
The San Mateo Union High School
District Board of Trustees meets 7 p.m.

POT
Continued from page 1
The city currently prohibits both
medical and recreational commercial
operations, but with election results
showing residents favored legalizing
pot, the council will ask the community whether restrictions should be lifted.
Councilmembers convened Tuesday
night for an update on the citys existing laws and what statewide changes
coincide with the passage of
Proposition 64. Officials ultimately
opted to host a public workshop early
next year to gather feedback and consider potential next steps.
We invite the public and public
safety officials into the conversation
and see where we want to make
changes. This could include authorizing commercial cultivation as a way to
diversify our economy and maintain a
healthy
agricultural
industry,
Ruddock said.
The cozy coastside town has a longestablished agricultural industry that
once boasted more thriving floral
farmers who now face fiercer competition from international growers. With
a variety of infrastructure already in
place, there may be some who would
consider diversifying their crops,
Ruddock said while emphasizing it
must be a community decision.
Half Moon Bays approach is a bit of
a contrast compared to other cities
San Bruno, Foster City, San Mateo and
Burlingame included that opted to
enact stricter prohibitions banning
commercial growing. In those cases,
the cities felt it imperative to approve
emergency provisions while they conducted more public outreach to consider permanent regulations.
Pro p o s i t i o n 6 4 l eg al i zed recreational marijuana for adults 21 years
and older, requires the state to set up
a licensing process for commercial
operations by 2018, and permits
individuals to grow up to six plants
for personal use. The new law also
provides some autonomy for local

advertised all-day happy hour and fresh
crab meat shots.
Co-owner Angela Cincotta said,
The season is back on, we are back up
and running
Cincotta said the quality looks fantastic.
Everyone is pleased with the size

plants being grown outdoors.

Several communities rushed to enact
moratoriums in response to legal concerns that once the state issues a retail
license in a city, it could prevent the
local government from banning that
commercial operation later.

Current prohibitions
Half Moon Bay already has rules on
the books prohibiting both recreational and medical marijuana businesses in the city, therefore the council wasnt under the same time pressure
to pass new laws. Another distinction
is that the coastside is home to most of
the countys farmlands.
I think were unique in the sense
that we have greenhouse agriculture
that could accommodate cannabis cultivation if the public approves going
in that direction, Ruddock said. I
think our location, close to Silicon
Valley where there might be high
demand, and having greenhouse agriculture seems like theres good reason
to at least consider greenhouse cultivation. The floral agriculture isnt
exactly thriving because of competition with Central and South America,
and our voters seem to be very approving of the idea of adult recreational
use.
Councilwoman Marina Fraser agreed
Half Moon Bay voters made a strong
statement approving Proposition 64
by a 2-1 margin in every precinct.
However, growing marijuana has safety implications that are of concern,
Fraser said.
We are a farming community. But
with this having a little more commerce to it, that might be an issue that
would concern me if it compromised
the safety of peoples homes and property, Fraser said.
She agreed the coasts agricultural
abundance has been declining, but
noted growing marijuana is a different
ball game.
Farmers have been very creative
with changing crops with whats in
season, Fraser said. But youre talking about a whole different level of
security if youre growing a commercial marijuana crop operation; on the
level of Fort Knox. If its marijuana
crops for consumer use, it brings
another level of regulations. Its
and the quality A perfect storm, in a
good way, she said.
Last years season was delayed several months, well after the holidays
due to toxic levels of domoic acid that
were found in the crab. The closure
lasted through March and caused fisherman to lose millions.
Everyones looking forward to
being able to continue their holiday
tradition of crabs for Thanksgiving
and on to Christmas, said Cincotta.
Along Pier 45 at the wharf
Wednesday, smaller boats were trick-

not as easy as heres a greenhouse,

lets grow plants.
Both Fraser and Ruddock agreed the
details of any changes and potential
implications to relaxing rules must be
thoroughly considered through a public process.
There will also be some new voices
in the mix. Since Fraser and
Councilman John Muller opted not to
seek re-election, newcomers Harvey
Rarback and Adam Eisen will be voting
on marijuana-related policies.

Local tax?
Another facet the public could be
voting on if commercial growing is
legalized is whether to institute a new
locally-controlled tax, said City
Attorney Reed Gallogly.
The city must also stay tuned to what
the Board of Supervisors has on the
horizon. The county is studying the
issue and officials are expected to meet
in December to discuss marijuana policies for unincorporated areas of the
county, which includes much of the
agricultural lands surrounding Half
Moon Bay and down to the Santa Cruz
County border.
There may also be other factors at
play as to whether the coast is suitable
for such an industry such as environmental regulations, input from the
California Coastal Commission,
potential demands on workforce housing and transporting crops, Gallogly
said.
This weeks meeting was an important starting point to educate the community that overwhelmingly voted in
favor of Proposition 64 what the new
law does and doesnt allow. For example, people shouldnt expect to be able
to light up wherever they want. The
new state law prohibits smoking in
public such as on the street, at parks or
on beaches. Smoking may be permitted at marijuana retail businesses, but
only in cities that approve rules
explicitly allowing such, he said.
People should educate themselves
about what the law actually says and
make sure they understand what theyre
not allowed to do, Gallogly said.
Theres no reason to be cavalier about
it. Theres going to be a double-edged
sword, it gives some freedom, but it
comes with regulations.
ling in to unload their holds. Larger
boats, which can stay out much longer,
are not expected until just before the
weekend.
The shellfish should be in restaurants Wednesday and in fish markets
later in the week. The market price at
the wharf ranged from $5.50 to $6.50
a pound.
While standing at Alioto-Lazio and
looking at the large tanks filled with
Dungeness crab, traveling musician
Ante Gelo, from Zagreb said, We have
crabs in Croatia, but not like these.

ORDINANCE SUMMARY: The ordinance is supported by a

residential impact nexus study and a commercial linkage
nexus study prepared for the City of San Bruno, which analyzed the need for affordable housing associated with new development, and included the calculation of fees based on the
nexus analysis and the affordability gap between what lower
income households can afford to pay and the cost of developing new housing units. The nexus studies established that the
fees and related affordable housing requirements established
by this ordinance are reasonably related to the need for affordable housing associated with development projects in the San
Bruno.
The adoption of the ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because the ordinance creates a governmental funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a
potentially significant effect on the environment. (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
A copy of the ordinance and the Impact Fee Nexus Studies
are available for review at the office of the City Clerk, 567 El
Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that if you challenge the adoption of
the ordinance in court, you may be limited to raising only those
issues you or someone else raised at public hearings before
the City of San Bruno or in written correspondence delivered
to the City of San Bruno at, or prior to, the public hearing.
The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment.
Please call (650) 616-7053 with any questions.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Renate Bingham
Case Number: 16PRO000396
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Renate Bingham. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Brian
David Bingham in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Brian
David Bingham be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the
Independent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative will
be required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived notice
or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: December 2, 2016
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other 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 DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
