Burlingame sustains ongoing economic growth

Hotel, sales and property tax income fuel budget expansion over previous year
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite an influx of additional

tax revenue, Burlingame officials
are expressing cautious optimism
regarding the state of the citys
coffers due largely to concerns
regarding rising unfunded liability
costs.
The Burlingame City Council

received its first glance Tuesday,
Jan. 3, at the 2016 comprehensive
annual financial report which
showed another year of improvement for the citys bottom line,
according to video of the meeting.
Sales, hotel and property tax
revenue all jumped from the year
prior, according to the report
showing continued overall budget

growth for at least the fourth consecutive fiscal year.
The citys general fund tax revenue jumped by $4.2 million from
the year prior, up to $66.2 million, fed primarily through $26
million in transient occupancy
tax, or money generated for the
city when a visitor stays in one of
the citys hotels.

Hotel taxes raised $2.3 million,
or roughly 10 percent, more than
the year prior, while property
taxes generated $17.6 million in
revenue, $968,000 than the year
prior, and the city collected $12.8
million in sales tax, amounting to
$1.7 million more than the year
prior.
The variety of healthy financial

streams has helped Burlingame
rebound entirely from the struggles faced during the Great
Recession, according to the
report.
The city has fully recovered
from the 2008-2010 recession, as

First female Oakland police chief

vows to mend ties in community
By Paul Elias
OAKLAND Oakland leaders on

Wednesday hired an outsider and the first
woman to run and reform the citys troubled
police department that cycled through three
chiefs in as many weeks this summer after
several officers were implicated in a sexabuse scandal with an underage girl.
Mayor Libby Schaaf called Anne
Kirkpatrick the reform-minded leader that
Oakland has been searching for. She takes
over a police force under federal court oversight since 2003 and without a chief for seven
months.
Kirkpatrick began her 34-year policing
career in her native Memphis, Tennessee, and
has risen to lead four different departments.
She has a track record of trying to overhaul
troubled police agencies.
Chicago hired her six months ago to lead an
effort to oversee police reforms. She was a
finalist for chief after a video showing an
officer fatally shooting a

black teenager 16 times
led to the superintendents
firing.
Speaking with a distinct southern drawl,
Kirkpatrick vowed to

with Oaklands significant black community

ize a demoralized rankand-file force. Im interested in transformation, Kirkpatrick said.
She offered few specifics of her plans but
said, I dont consider it a mess, when asked
about taking over the embattled department.
Its an opportunity.
Maya Whitaker, a black community organizer who helped with the job search, said the
new chief is aware that she is entering a notrust zone and needs to break down barriers.
Whitaker said shes optimistic that
Kirkpatrick, who is white, has the experience

to succeed in Oakland but the community
will hold her accountable if she fails.
Sgt. Barry Donlan, head of the officers
union, said Oaklands hard-working police
officers look forward to working collaboratively with Chief Kirkpatrick in serving our
community.
She joins a rare slate of female leaders of a
large city. Oaklands mayor, fire chief and
city administrator are all women.
Kirkpatrick previously held high-ranking
law enforcement posts in Washington state,
including as Spokanes police chief for six
years through 2012. The city hired her to
reform a department rocked by a police brutality scandal. Along the way, she earned a law
degree at Seattle University.
Kirkpatrick will bring her background in
reform to an agency dogged by a scandal that
ensnared two dozen officers throughout the
San Francisco Bay Area accused of having sex
with the teen daughter of an Oakland dispatcher.
Sentencing delayed for former teachers aide

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former teachers aide slated to be sentenced Wednesday for felony oral copulation
with a minor under 16 had his case continued
to allow prosecutors more time to investigate
his laptop and hard drive, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
Gustabo Rodriguez, 23, worked at Sequoia
High School in Redwood City as a part-time
teachers aide when he allegedly began a
relationship with a 15-year-old male student
there. Rodriguez allegedly had oral sex with
the victim on four separate occasions in the
victims bedroom, and also videotaped himself shaving the victims pubic hair without
the victims knowledge or consent on one
occasion, according to prosecutors.
On July 29, an anonymous email containing the video was sent to Sequoias vice
principal, who notified Redwood City
police. Officers arrested Rodriguez and con-
firmed he was aware the

victim was 15, according
to the District Attorneys
Office.

is sorry for his actions.

Pacifica road rage case heads to trial

Man visiting his sister who woke from coma allegedly beaten
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
A trial is nearly underway for a Pacifica

man who allegedly beat another Highway 1
driver on the way to see his sister who had
just awoken from a coma in October 2013.
Jury members are being selected for the
trial of Richard Rainville, 48, who allegedly tailgated Ignatius Leonor, then 61, as he
was driving north on Highway 1 to San
Francisco from his home in Moss Beach in
the evening of Oct. 11, 2013. Leonor and
his wife, Valentina, had just received news
that Leonors sister had come out of a coma,
and were on their way to visit her at UCSF
Medical Center. As the couple drove through
Devils Slide Tunnel just south of Pacifica,
they noticed a car driving behind them very
closely. Leonor turned on his rear windshield wipers with water to signal to the car,
driven by Rainville, to keep its distance,
according to prosecutors.
Though Rainville allegedly increased his
vehicles distance from Leonors vehicle
initially, he continued to tailgate Leonor
aggressively. Leonor exited the tunnel and
drove down to Pacifica, where he stopped at
a red light at the intersection of Highway 1
and Linda Mar Boulevard. Rainville drove
up to the right side of Leonors car, gesturing and yelling at the couple. Rainville
then got out of his car and began banging
on the Leonors passengers side window,

causing Leonor to get out of the car to
defend his wife, who was sitting in the passengers seat, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
Rainville allegedly swung at Leonor with
a closed fist and missed. He then grabbed
Leonor, and the two fell to the ground.
Rainville proceeded to punch Leonor an
estimated 10 times. Leonor was able to
block most of Rainvilles punches with his
arm. Valentina Leonor got out of the car and
yelled at Rainville, who realized others were
in their cars witnessing the altercation. He
then stood up, and kicked Leonor while he
was on the ground. Leonor was able to block
Rainvilles kick with his arm. Rainville
then shoved Leonor out of the way before he
fled the scene, according to prosecutors.
Pacifica police arrived on the scene and
interviewed the Leonors. Ignatius Leonor
declined medical attention to continue his
trip to see his sister in San Francisco. He did
not appear to have injuries when he spoke
with police, but later noticed pain in his
elbow in the arm he used to block
Rainvilles kick. Doctors later discovered
multiple bone fragments from his elbow
As the citys budget has grown, so has the

capacity to build reserves, as the rainy-day
fund amounts to $11 million of undesignated money.
Despite the financial gains, councilmembers remained wary regarding the state of
the citys financial footing.
As the citys 12 hotels offering roughly
3,742 rooms enjoyed an occupancy rate of
roughly 84 percent over the last year, due
primarily to proximity with San Francisco
International Airport, some officials
expressed a reluctance to bank on that
income as a reliable source of revenue in
coming years.
We have to remember that its not always
going to be there, said Mayor Ricardo
Ortiz. It can always go away.
Ortiz pointed at the depths to which the
industry plunged when the economy tanked

in recent years as a reminder of the volatility of the hotel market, which traditionally
ebbs and flows with the business cycle.
Officials also expressed a commitment to
preserving dollars for a variety of capital
improvements such as storm drain infrastructure and street fixes, as well as the
grade separation project at Broadway.
With an eye to fiscal conservatism, other
councilmembers expressed an interest in
assuring the city positions itself to adequately grapple with the threat of rising
pension costs.
CalPERS, the states largest pension system and supplier of benefits to Burlingame
workers, downgraded its expectations for
investment earnings late last year under a
decision likely requiring state agencies to
embedded in his arm. Leonor required multiple surgeries to remove the bone fragments,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
Rainville was arrested in October 2014
and charged with felony assault causing
great bodily injury and misdemeanor battery. The charges were recently reduced to
felony assault without a weapon and misdemeanor battery after prosecutors interviewed Leonors surgeon and found they
were not able to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that Rainvilles assault was the sole
cause of Leonors injuries. The surgeon
reported that he could not conclude whether
Leonors injuries were caused by Rainvilles
blows or if the fragments appeared because
of normal wear and tear, according to San
Mateo County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Without having that proof, we dismissed
that charge, said Wagstaffe.
Geoff Carr, Rainvilles defense attorney,
said this reduction in Rainvilles charges
means the sentencing he could face will be
less harsh than it could have been.
The stakes went down, he said. Things
tend to go down when you take it to trial
because they have to determine what they
can actually prove.

contribute more money to retirement funds.
As of the closing of the 2016 fiscal year,
Burlingames net pension liability was $47
million, according to the report.
Councilwoman Donna Colson cited the
citys pension liability increasing by about
$5.2 million last year as an example of the
need to closely watch the threat of increasing costs in coming years.
It is an important, critical number to
keep our eyes on, she said, of the liability

UC system proposes
first tuition increase in six years
SAN FRANCISCO Undergraduate students at the
University of California may face a tuition increase for the
first time in six years under a proposal to be considered by
the universitys board of regents this month.
UC officials unveiled the plan Wednesday, saying that proposed increases in tuition and fees represent a modest way to
help pay for better mental health services, financial aid and
faculty hiring after years of rising enrollment and declining
state support.
In-state undergraduates currently pay $12,294 a year in
tuition and fees. The proposal calls for a $282 increase in
tuition and $54 increase in fees for undergraduates at nine
campuses, bringing the new total for California residents to
$12,630 for the 2017-18 school year.
UC spokeswoman Dianne Klein said financial aid would
cover the increases for two-thirds of the systems California
undergraduate students.
Weve reached the point where it is critical that we make
these investments in UCs academic excellence, Klein said
in a statement posted on the systems website.
Storms pummel West; Oregon girl dies; I-80 closed

RENO, Nev. Stiff winds toppled a towering evergreen
tree into an Oregon home, killing an 8-year-old girl, while
blizzard conditions closed major highways and triggered a
small avalanche in the Sierra Nevada on Wednesday as wet
winter storms pummeled much of the West.
The child, Zaylee Schlect, was the daughter of a volunteer
firefighter who was working during the storm that downed
trees throughout the state on Tuesday night. She was killed in
Otis, a town near the coast. Others inside the home were
uninjured, authorities said.
In Nevada, a storm dropped 2 feet of snow, and another foot
was expected in the upper elevations around Lake Tahoe.
All major Sierra passes were closed Wednesday night,
including a 50-mile stretch of U.S. Interstate 80 from
about 50 miles east of Sacramento, California, in the
foothills near Colfax to Truckee, about 30 miles southwest of
Reno, Nevada.
Californians water use up despite drought

SACRAMENTO The latest figures show Californians
water use is still on the rise since the state lifted mandatory
conservation for the drought.
Californias Water Resources Control Board released figures
Wednesday showing urban Californians used an average of 77
gallons a day in November. Thats one gallon a day more than
in November of last year, when urban Californians were under
a mandatory conservation order because of the drought.
Southern and central California remain in a six-year
drought despite heavy rains this winter. State water officials
say they will discuss Jan. 18 whether the state needs to return
to mandatory conservation measures as Californians water
use edges back up.

Mortgage rates, home sales

and prices seen rising in 2017
By Alex Veiga
Nate Lowenstein has been shopping

for a home in Los Angeles, on and off,
for more than a year.
His search has been stymied by a
stubbornly low roster of homes on the
market and the hurdles that come with
it: multiple competing bids and higher prices.
Its not a great market, from a
buyers
perspective,
said
Lowenstein, a lawyer. The one good
thing is that interest rates were quite
low.
As recently as this summer, homebuyers had ultra-low mortgage rates
on their side. Good news for any borrower, but especially for those in
expensive housing markets like Los
Angeles, Boston and Seattle.
But that was then. While mortgage
rates remain low by historical standards, theyve risen sharply over the
past couple of months, pushing the
average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate
mortgage to 4.32 percent this week.
Thats the highest level since April
2014 and well above the years average of 3.65 percent.
Economists predict mortgage rates
will continue to climb next year, just
one of the trends that suggest 2017

could be a more challenging year for
homebuyers.
With higher mortgage rates, youre
increasing the cost, challenging the
budgets, challenging the ability to
qualify and, as a result, likely reducing
somewhat the pool of potential buyers, said Jonathan Smoke, chief
economist for Realtor.com.
So far, the rate increases have not
begun to worry Lowenstein, who is in
the market for a house with at least
three bedrooms in L.A.s affluent west
side. His budget: Between $1.6 million and $1.8 million.
Were not priced out yet,
Lowenstein said. But if it goes up to
5 percent or 6 percent, at some point
we would be.
Long-term mortgage rates tend to
track the yield on the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note. The yield goes down
when investors bid up bond prices, as
they did following this summers vote
in Britain to exit the European Union.
The move sent long-term mortgage
rates tumbling as low as 3.41 percent.
The reverse happened after Election
Day. Investors bet that a Republicancontrolled White House and Congress
will have a clear path to implement
policies that will drive inflation and
wow!
Surprise! Newspapers are not dead. Theyre not
dying. Theyre not going anywhere for a long, long
time. So-called experts have been predicting the
death of print newspapers for decades.
A few papers have bit the dust, but not for lack of
readers or advertisers. Many newspapers are
increasing readership.
In 2012, 62 percent of adults in the United States read
a newspaper each week. Its 67 percent when you
include online newspapers.*

interest rates higher. A sell-off in U.S.

bonds drove the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note to the highest level in
more than two years. Mortgage rates
have been inching higher ever since.
But will they continue to do so?
Smoke predicts mortgage rates will
reach 4.5 percent in 2017. Other economists expect rates will remain above
4 percent but not go beyond 5 percent
next year.
That range would mean mortgage
rates that would be low compared to
the last decade.
Average long-term mortgage rates
were above 6 percent during the height
of the last housing boom and they
hadnt hit 5 percent before 2008.
So someone looking to buy a home
in the next few months doesnt need to
panic, said Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow, a real estate information company.
My advice to buyers would be to
not freak out and feel a sense of
urgency, she said. If you arent able
to buy a house at 4.5 percent, you
probably werent able to buy a house
at 4 percent.
The stakes are a bit higher for buyers in expensive markets, where housing can eat up a much larger share of
household income.

California hires former

attorney general Eric
Holder to fight Trump
By Jonathan J. Cooper
SACRAMENTO Democratic
leaders
in
the
California
Legislature said Wednesday they
have hired former U.S. Attorney
General Eric Holder to advise them
on a legal strategy as they gird for
a fight against President-elect
Donald Trump.
The precise role of the high-profile lawyer remained unclear, but
his politically connected firm will
be paid $25,000 a month plus
expenses from the Legislatures
budget to help lawmakers develop
strategies regarding potential
actions of the federal government
that may be of concern to the state
of California, according to the
contract with Holder.
The initial agreement runs for
three months beginning Feb. 1.
After that, the parties will renegotiate the deal, said Kevin Liao, a
spokesman for Assembly Speaker

Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount.
Republicans in the Legislature
blasted the decision to sidestep
lawyers already on Californias
payroll and hire Holder, who many
conservatives view as a polarizing figure.
California Gov. Jerry Brown and
legislative leaders have talked
tough since Trumps election in
November, vowing to aggressively confront the Republican president who pledged during the campaign to repeal Obamacare and
deport immigrants living in the
U.S. illegally.
We have an obligation to
defend the people who elected us
and the policies and diversity that
make California an example of
what truly makes a nation great,
Rendon and Senate President Pro
Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los
Angeles, said in a statement.
The hiring of outside consult-

ants is not unusual, but the decision to contract with such a highprofile figure made it a remarkable
move with clear political overtones.
As the nations top lawyer from
2009 to 2015, Holder aggressively defended President Barack
Obamas policies and took heat
over Fast and Furious, a gun-
smuggling investigation in which

federal agents allowed weapons to
be delivered to drug cartels in
Mexico.
The goal of the California
Democrats is clear: an open border with no restrictions on human
traffickers, gun runners and drug
smugglers, Assemblyman Travis
Allen, R-Huntington Beach, said
in a statement.
Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna
Niguel, called Holders hiring a
waste, noting that the state
Department of Justice has a staff
of 4,300 people and an annual
budget of $830 million.
The arrangement with Holder
was first reported by the Los
Angeles Times.
Obama administration aids giant California water project

By Ellen Knickmeyer
SAN FRANCISCO The outgoing Obama administration on

Wednesday tried to nudge forward
Gov. Jerry Browns proposal to
build two giant north-south water
tunnels for California.
In an executive order, U. S.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell
directed federal wildlife officials
on Wednesday to release by Jan.
17 a preliminary environmental
opinion that directs the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and
U. S. Bureau of Reclamation to
assist as the $15. 7 billion project seeks state and federal per-
mits and other approvals.

Brown welcomed Jewells move,
saying in a statement it commits
the federal government to a timely
review of the proposed tunnels.
Brown wants a handful of
California water districts to build
the twin, 35-mile-long water tunnels to pipe Northern Californias
water to central and Southern
California. The Obama administration also has supported the

project.
Brown says the tunnels would
ensure a more reliable water supply for central and Southern
California farms and cities.
Environmental groups disagree
with Brown over whether the
giant tunnels would hurt endan-
gered state species.

Senior attorney Doug Obegi at
the Natural Resources Defense
Council described Wednesdays
order as no more than a work plan
for remaining action on the project, and not binding on the Trump
administration. Its certainly not
a green light for the tunnels,
Obegi said.

Tillerson leaving Exxon with $180M retirement package

By Bernard Condon and David Koenig
NEW YORK Rex Tillerson will get a

$180 million retirement package from
Exxon Mobil Corp. if he is confirmed as
President-elect Donald Trumps secretary of
state.
Tillerson will give up more than 2 million Exxon shares he would have received
over the next 10 years. In exchange, the
company will make a cash payment equal to
the value of those shares to a trust to be
overseen by a third party.
Exxon said Wednesday that Tillerson has
already promised the State Department that
he will sell another 611,000 shares he currently owns, worth about $55 million at
Wednesdays price, if confirmed. His Senate
confirmation hearing begins next week.
Tillersons selection raised potential conflict-of-interest issues because Exxon has
business interests around the globe, including Russia. Putting his retirement nest egg
into a trust is intended to ease concerns that
Tillerson could make decisions as secretary
of state that would financially help himself
or his former associates.
Federal ethics rules do not require government officials to sell off their investments
but they must recuse themselves from matters that would affect those investments.
Given Exxons global operations, ownership of Exxon stock could severely limit
Tillersons actions as the nations chief
diplomat.
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rex W.Tillerson speaks at a news conference following
the Exxon Mobil Corporation Shareholders Meeting in Dallas, Texas.
Tillersons move comes as pressure
mounts on Trump to make clear how he
would separate himself from his company.
Presidents are exempt from federal ethics
rules, though most recent holders of the
office have sold off their financial holdings
and put them in trusts as if the rules did
apply to them.
Trump has said he would hand management control of his business to his two
adult sons, along with executives, but has
given no indication he plans to sell his
ownership interest in his company.
Tillerson has been CEO and chairman of
the Irving, Texas, oil giant since 2006.

Exxon spelled out the arrangement with
Tillerson in a regulatory filing Wednesday
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Edwin Williamson, a former State
Department legal adviser who has reviewed
the agreement, said that Tillerson agreed to
put the cash he gets from Exxon in a trust
that will invest only in Treasury securities
and diversified mutual funds.
They have eliminated anything that runs
afoul of the conflicts-of-interest rule, said
Williamson, a lawyer at Sullivan &
Cromwell in Washington.
Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin of
Wisconsin and Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts, however, called Tillersons
payout egregious. Baldwin is proposing to
ban corporate payments that are tied to an
employee accepting a government job.
To avoid violating federal rules, business
executives moving into top government
jobs have often sold shares and created
trusts as Tillerson is doing. This also gives
them freedom to weigh in on policy without
constantly consulting lawyers about the
possible impact on their personal finances.
Henry Paulson, who was CEO of Goldman
Sachs when President George W. Bush nominated him as Treasury secretary, sold about
$500 million worth of Goldman stock. His
predecessor, former Alcoa chairman Paul
ONeill, sold his stock and options after
first saying he should have been be able to
keep them.
Who hacked? Trump challenges intel agencies hell oversee

By Julie Pace and Eileen Sullivan
WASHINGTON President-elect Donald

Trump escalated his blunt public challenge
to the U.S. intelligence agencies he will
soon oversee on Wednesday, appearing to
embrace WikiLeaks
founder Julian
Assanges contention that Russia did not
provide his group with the hacked
Democratic emails that roiled the 2016 election.
Trumps defiance has increased the pressure on intelligence officials to provide
decisive evidence of Russian election inter-

month is expected to be
finalized by weeks end,
with high-level intelligence officials heading

before the president leaves office on Jan.
20.
Russia not only meddled in the election,
but did so to help Trump win, according to

the intelligence agencies assessment. But
the administration has so far released only
limited information to support that conclusion. And in the absence of such public evidence, the president-elect has seized on
some Americans skepticism of U.S. intelligence in general, citing high-profile missteps that led to the Iraq war.
But this Trump campaign has so far been a
lonely one in Washington. His views put
him at odds with Obama and leaders in his
own party who see Moscow as a growing
threat. And they put him in line with

Israeli soldiers manslaughter conviction divides country

By Aron Heller
TEL AVIV, Israel The rare

manslaughter
conviction
Wednesday of an Israeli soldier who
fatally shot a badly wounded
Palestinian attacker exposed a
deepening rift between proponents
of the rule of law and a burgeoning
nationalist movement.
The military court verdict against
Sgt. Elor Azaria marked a victory
for commanders seeking to preserve a code of ethics, but it also
brought calls for a pardon from
prominent hard-line politicians,
led by Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who expressed sympathy for the soldier or depicted him
as the victim of a detached elite.
In a statement on Facebook,
Netanyahu urged the public to act
responsibly toward the military,
Israels most respected institution.
We have one army that is the
basis for our existence. IDF soldiers are our sons and daughters, and
they must remain above all disputes, he said. But making no
direct mention of the military
court, he said: I support granting a
pardon to Elor Azaria.
With the statement, Netanyahu
plunged into a visceral dispute that
has deeply divided Israel, where
military service is compulsory and
support for young soldiers is widespread.
Since the March shooting, the
military leadership has come under
unprecedented criticism, as members of Netanyahus coalition
accused top generals of abandoning
a serviceman on the battlefield. The
uproar helped fuel the resignation
of Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon,
who staunchly defended the army

from the assault from within.
It is rare for a military court to
rule against a soldier over lethal
action taken in the field, not only
in Israel but also elsewhere in the
world. But for a country that claims
to have the most moral army in the
world, it had no choice but to come
down hard on a soldier that the top
brass was convinced had strayed,
said Amichai Cohen, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Israeli
Democracy Institute think tank.
If you want the justice system to
be taken seriously, you have to
punish something like this, he
said. The court cant be influenced
by the changing political climate.
Azaria, an army medic, was

caught on video by a human rights
worker fatally shooting Abdel
Fattah al-Sharif, a wounded
Palestinian attacker who had
stabbed a soldier in the West Bank
city of Hebron. Al-Sharif was on
the ground, unarmed and virtually
motionless, when Azaria fired a single bullet in his head as other soldiers milled about.
The head of the three-judge panel,
Col. Maya Heller, broke down
Azarias defense arguments in
painstaking detail in delivering the
verdict over nearly three hours.
She said there was no evidence to
support his conflicting claims that
the attacker was either already dead

or had posed a threat. She called
Azarias testimony unreliable,
said he could not have both sides
of the stick, and concluded the
shooting was needless.
We found there was no room to
accept his arguments, she said.
His motive for shooting was that
he felt the terrorist deserved to die.
That made little difference to
Azarias many supporters.
Outside military headquarters in
Tel Aviv, hundreds of his backers
held large Israeli flags, banners
supporting Donald Trump and others that said the nation neglected a
soldier on the battlefield.
They periodically scuffled with

police, and some chanted veiled
death threats against the Israeli military chief, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot.
The Ynet news site said the judges
and prosecutor would receive bodyguards. The army declined to comment.
Netanyahus evening announcement came hours after other members of his coalition called for
Azaria to be pardoned immediately.
Today, a soldier who killed a terrorist who deserved to die and who
had tried to slaughter a soldier was
put in handcuffs and convicted like
a criminal, said Education
Minister Naftali Bennett, head of
the pro-settler Jewish Home Party.
The coalition has had disputes
with the legal system, trying to
delay an order to uproot an illegally
built West Banks settlement outpost and seeking to retroactively
legalize dozens of other illegal outposts.
Azaria is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 15 and could face up to
20 years in prison, though he is
expected to receive less than that.
Netanyahus call for a pardon fueled
what will be a heated debate over
whether Azaria deserves leniency.
Under the law, only Israels largely ceremonial president can issue a
pardon. President Reuven Rivlins
office said he would decide only
after the legal process, including an
expected appeal, runs its course.
The heightened tensions were on
display in the cramped, stuffy courtroom. The 20-year-old Azaria
entered smiling and appeared confident as he was embraced by a few
dozen relatives and friends. But his
mood quickly dampened as the
judge began tearing apart his
defense.
Frances Marine Le Pen lauds Ford

decision as win for protectionism
By Elaine Ganley
PARIS French far-right presidential

candidate Marine Le Pen cheered Ford Motor
Co.s decision to shift investment from
Mexico to the U.S., saying on Wednesday
that it is victory for the protectionist policies she champions.
In a New Years address to journalists, Le
Pen said Fords decision is proof that protectionism works, when it is led by determination, and when a country can exercise its
economic independence.
The National Front party leader, a top candidate in Frances presidential election next
spring, has already suggested that
President-elect Donald Trumps victory
could have a favorable impact on her own
campaign, along with Britains Brexit vote
to leave the European Union.
Le Pen dubs herself a patriot and campaigns against immigration, the EU and a
system of politicians, banks and other
deciders she claims is bringing France down
and which she vows to break.
Political will pays, she said. The proof
is what Donald Trump obtained.
Ford is canceling plans to build a $1.6
billion factory in Mexico and will instead
invest some of that money in a U.S. factory.

Istanbul on alert as hunt for

gunman reaches fourth day

A displaced man, who fled the Islamic State stronghold of Mosul, carries a child in the Mithaq
district of eastern Mosul, Iraq.
In Mosul, Iraqis fleeing,

returning cross paths
By Hamza Hendawi
MOSUL, Iraq The two teenage sisters

hid at home for most of the 2 1/2 years of
rule by the Islamic State group. This week,
as fighting engulfed their neighborhood in
the northern city of Mosul, Rusul and Doha
Ghanem and their family made a run for it.
It took them three days, and they slept in
empty houses. Finally, they reached the
safety of government-held territory. We
just cannot believe we got out alive, said
the 18-year-old Rusul, though her relief was
temporarily dampened as troops lined her
father and brother up with other men for
security checks.
Rusul and her family were among hundreds
of dazed men, women and children who fled
fighting in their neighborhood of Karama
this week after it became a front line in the
battle against the Islamic State group, hauling their belongings down a main street in
bags and suitcases and on push carts.
On the same street, moving in the opposite direction, were residents who had
returned to their homes in the neighboring
Quds district, retaken by government forces
only a few days ago. At a nearby market,
they treated themselves to fresh vegetables,
fruit, bread and milk for the first time in
weeks.
The avenue exemplifies the multiple directions of a chaotic urban battle that has
moved from district to district in eastern
Mosul, tearing apart lives and families. The
war has juxtaposed heavy destruction and
fighting meters away from people trying to
rebuild their lives, many of them reduced to
destitution and begging for food or money.
The street between the neighborhoods was
lined by badly damaged homes riddled by
bullet holes. Electrical wires dangled from
buildings. Concrete barriers blocked some
streets. The body of an IS fighter lay on the

side of the street. Later, soldiers dragged
another body from inside a nearby house and
left it next to the first one.
Residents appeared unperturbed as they
walked past the bodies. A few women cursed
and spat toward them, and a soldier took a
selfie with the bodies, but no one else reacted.
Soldiers carefully looked over carts loaded
with food that some Quds residents brought
from the market. Join us for lunch, Sabhan
Mahmoud, a 35-year-old government worker, said as he made his way back home.
At the same time, military Humvees sped
down the street, and trucks rumbled by carrying ammunition and water to troops on the
front line in Karama, some 100-150 meters
(yards) away. A Humvee raced out carrying a
wounded man on the hood as a soldier fired
into the air to clear people from the vehicles
path.
As residents filtered out of Karama, including elderly people in wheelchairs, soldiers
frisked the men and assembled them on a side
street to run their names through a database
of Iraqis linked to IS.
We suspect everyone of being linked to
Daesh, but we focus on the 18-40 age
group, said a military intelligence captain
at the scene, using the Arabic acronym for
IS. We also screen teenage boys because
some of them joined Daesh. He spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to media.
Its a tense process. The men squatted on
the street while female relatives lingered
anxiously nearby, sometimes begging soldiers to let the men go, only to be sternly
told to wait. Men who finally were released
rushed back to their waiting families and
hugged their children before resuming their
journey to safety at another neighborhood
or in camps for the displaced.

Police set up checkpoints across Istanbul
as security levels remained high. They
stopped cars and taxis, with passengers and
drivers holding up their identifications
while officers inspected the vehicles.
The city has been on edge since the attack
on the upscale club popular with local
celebrities, and on Wednesday residents beat
up a man said to resemble the wanted gunman before handing him over to police, the
Dogan news agency reported.
Some 20 people, including 11 women,
were taken into custody in police raids in
the Aegean port city of Izmir, the state-run
Anadolu agency said.
The suspects, from the largely Muslim
Russian republic of Dagestan, as well as
members of Chinas Muslim Uighur minority and from Syria, were believed to have
lived with the gunman in an alleged IS cell
house in the central Turkish city of Konya,
the agency reported. Some 20 children who
were with the detainees were also taken to a
police station.
At least 16 people were previously
detained in connection with the massacre.
IS has claimed responsibility for the
attack, saying it was in reprisal for Turkish
military operations against IS in northern
Syria. Of those killed, 27 were foreigners
many from the Middle

East.
In his first public
address to the nation
since
the
killings,
President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said that the
attack aimed to set Turks
against each other and
deepen fault lines, but
Suspect
warned the country would
not fall for this game.
His comments followed a campaign
before the attack by some ruling party supporters and pro-Islamic groups who warned
against New Years celebrations they depicted as Western or Christian traditions, as well
as some social media postings that seemed
to support the attack on the New Years revelers.
The campaign and social media postings
were condemned by more secular-minded
Turks who said their lifestyles were being
threatened.
The government has said authorities were
taking measures against social media
accounts that allegedly support terrorism
and foster divisiveness in society.
I repeat once again: no ones lifestyle is
under systematic threat in Turkey, Erdogan
said in his address Wednesday. We would
never allow such a thing. We didnt allow it
in 14 years of governance. If anyone alleges
differently they need to put forward concrete
examples.
Erdogan also dismissed accusations that
Turkey has, in the past, given support to IS.
To present the country which is leading the greatest struggle against Daesh as
one that is supporting terrorism is what the
terror organization wants, he said, using
the Arabic alternate acronym for IS. To say
Turkey has surrendered to terrorism is to
take sides with the terrorists and terror
organizations.

Indexes near records as car makers, retailers rise

By Marley Jay
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK U. S. stocks

climbed Wednesday as investors
bought shares of companies
focused on consumers, including
automakers and retailers. The
Standard & Poors 500 index finished a single point below its alltime high.
General Motors and Ford jumped
as car companies reported generally strong sales for the month of
December. Companies that mine
for metals and make chemicals and
other materials climbed as the dollar receded a bit from its recent
highs. Small-company stocks
picked up where they left off in
2017 as the Russell 2000 index
outpaced other major indexes and
missed a record close by a
whisker.
Investors snapped up consumerfocused stocks that havent done
much celebrating since the election, like apparel and accessories
retailers and discount store
chains. Urban Outfitters is down
about 11 percent the election and
Gap has fallen almost that much.
They were afterthoughts in a
lot of respects, said Julian
Emanuel, an equity strategist for
UBS. But Emanuel said he expects
those stocks to rise this year
because consumer confidence
remains high.

Regulators changing fishing

rules to protect endangered tuna
PORTLAND, Maine The federal government is changing some of the rules about
how fishermen harvest tuna in an attempt to
protect one of the species. The National
Marine Fisheries Service has said the rule
change is designed to steer fishermen who
catch yellowfin tuna and swordfish via
longline away from bluefin tuna.
Globally, Atlantic bluefin tuna are listed
as endangered by the International Union
for Conservation of Nature. Domestically,
the U.S. government considers the species
to be overfished. Fishing boats sometimes
catch them incidentally while targeting
other commercial fish species.
The fisheries service said the new rule will
modify the way the agency handles the distribution of quota transfers in the longline
tuna fishery.

U.S. auto sales hit a record

17.55M in 2016, led by SUVs
By Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT U.S. consumers bought a

record number of new cars and trucks in
2016. A repeat performance in 2017 could
be a tall order.
Low gas prices, rising employment and
low interest rates kept buyers coming to car
dealerships last year. There was also the lure
of new technology such as backup cameras, automatic emergency braking and
Apple CarPlay and new vehicles like the
Chrysler Pacifica minivan, the Honda Civic
and the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt.
U.S. vehicle sales totaled 17.55 million,
beating the previous years record of 17.47
million, according to Autodata Corp. It was
the seventh consecutive year of year-overyear sales gains, an unprecedented string,
said Tom Libby, an analyst with the consulting firm IHS Markit.
That string could be in jeopardy, however.
The
National
Automobile
Dealers
Association expects U.S. sales to drop to
17.1 million vehicles in 2017 as interest
rates and vehicle prices rise. Large numbers
of cars coming off leases will hit the usedcar market next year, putting pressure on
new car sales. And more buyers are opting
for longer loans, so they wont be returning
to dealerships anytime soon.
Political issues could also impact sales.
President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 35-percent tariff on vehicles made in Mexico and exported to the
U. S. , which would impact every major
automaker. But he also has promised more
spending on infrastructure, which could
boost pickup truck sales.
It is the year of unknowns, said
Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst with the
car buying site Autotrader.com.
For now, though, the market has
plateaued at a high level. Nissan Motor
Co.s U.S. sales rose 5 percent in 2016 to
more than 1.5 million, a company record.
The Subaru brand also set an annual record,
with sales up 6 percent to 615,132. Honda
Motor Co.s sales jumped 3 percent to more
than 1.6 million. Hyundai Motor Co.s
sales rose 2 percent to 775,005. Ford Motor
Co.s sales were up less than 1 percent to
more than 2.6 million.
Macys to close stores and

cut jobs amid weak sales
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
Macys says it is eliminating more than

10,000 jobs and plans to move forward with
68 store closures after a disappointing holiday shopping season. The department
store chain also lowered its full-year earnings forecast.
The retailer said Wednesday that sales at
its established stores fell 2.1 percent in
November and December compared to the
same period last year. Macys Inc. pointed
to changing consumer behavior and said its
performance reflects the challenges that are
facing much of the retail industry.

The company said the 68 store closures
are part of the 100 closings it announced in
August. Of the 68, three were closed by the
middle of 2016, 63 will close in the spring
and two will be closed by the middle of
2017. Some may be offered positions at
nearby stores but Macys estimates that
3,900 employees will be affected by the
closures.
Macys also said it plans to restructure
parts of its business and sell some properties. This will lead to the reduction of 6,200
jobs. The moves are estimated to save $550
million annually.

CSM downs Ohlone in OT Tigers
prowl in 2017
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If nothing else, the College of San Mateo

womens basketball team should be used to
close games.
After losing their first-round game in overtime at the De Anza tournament last week,
and following that with two other games
decided by four points or less, it was only
appropriate that the Bulldogs would need
overtime to beat visiting Ohlone-Fremont
65-60 in the Coast Conference opener for
both squads.
It was a tough game. We didnt shoot very
well, said CSM coach Michelle Warner.
This is our fifth game in a row decided by
[five] points or less. Were kind of used to
these close games.
It might not have been that close had
Warner had her full roster available. Due to
injuries, illness and a missed practice, the
Bulldogs best two players posts Mariah
Elzy and Corryne Millet played limited
minutes.
But come crunch time, both were in the
game and they were the difference. Elzy finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. She
scored 13 of her 15 in the second half and
overtime. Millet, who played only about
eight minutes the last three minutes of
regulation and the five-minute overtime period still managed to score eight points and
grab seven boards.
Millet was held out most of the game for
missing practice.
If youre a starter and you miss practice,
you dont play most of the game, Warner
said, who finally relented in the final minutes of regulation, mainly because, [Elzy]
needed a rest.
Dominique Bonaparte also had a good
game for the Bulldogs in trying to pick up
the slack as she finished with 15 points,
including three 3-pointers.
It was the Bulldogs rebounding that kept
them in a game in which they trailed by double digits in the second and third quarters.
And while their shots werent falling the first
three quarters, it was their rebounding
especially their work on the offensive glass
that kept them within striking distance.

rom 2003 to 2009, the Notre

Dame-Belmont girls soccer team
advanced to the semifinals or finals
of the Central Coast Section tournament
five times, winning three straight titles in
2003, 2004 and 2005.
Since then, however, the Tigers havent
even qualified for the playoffs. Over the
last two years, the Tigers have compiled an
overall record of 11-24-3 and were 2-18-2
playing in the West Catholic Athletic
League.
But with a fresh
start in the West Bay
Athletic League this
season and a new
coach in Paul
McCallion, things are
definitely looking up
for the Tigers in
2017. Notre DameBelmont enters league
play with a gaudy 9-01 record, following a
4-0-1 showing and
winning the Arizona
Soccer Showcase the
week after Christmas. They outscored their
opponents 18-3 in Arizona and a glance at
the competition indicates these were no
pushover games. In the championship
game, the Tigers beat 2-1 a Marana-Tuscon
team currently 11-3 on the season. They
beat a 13-3 Queen Creek team 3-1 in the
semifinals, and a 7-3-2 Prescott squad 4-0
in the quarters.
Overall this season, the Tigers have
scored 33 goals, while allowing just five.
And despite the return of midfielder/striker Luca Deza, the Tigers proved during their
Arizona trip they are not relying on just
one player. Ava Cholakian, a sophomore,
was named to the all-tournament team after
leading the Tigers with six goals and two
assists in the five tournament games.
Seniors Monet Mendenhall and goalkeeper
Chloe Stogner were also named to the alltournament squad.

49ers talk to Lynn Davis is eager to help

about coaching job As turn things around

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco

49ers interviewed Buffalo Bills interim
coach Anthony Lynn on Wednesday for their
head coach opening.
Lynn is the first candidate to interview
with the Niners as they begin the process of
finding the replacement for Chip Kelly, who
was fired after one season on Sunday. San
Francisco also fired general manager Trent
Baalke and is looking to fill that spot as
well.
CEO Jed York said earlier in the week that
he was open to hiring the head coach or the
general manager first and that the key issue
was finding two people who can work closely together in those roles.
Lynn is also considered the front-runner
for the job in Buffalo. A person with direct
knowledge of the Bills coaching search told
The Associated Press that the team is scheduled to interview Lynn on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on Wednesday on the
condition of anonymity
because the team has not
revealed its interview
schedule. The Bills do
announce who theyre
interviewing once the
meeting is taking place.
On Wednesday, the

Anthony Lynn Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott
was the first to interview for the job.
Lynn was promoted to interim coach last
week after Rex Ryan was fired, and he
coached the Bills in a 30-10 season-ending
loss at the New York Jets. He began the season as Buffalos running backs coach before
being elevated to offensive coordinator in
September when Greg Roman was fired after
an 0-2 start.
Bills owner Terry Pegula told the AP on
Monday that Lynn was a candidate for the
job but not a lock.

OAKLAND David Forst remembers the

exact moment when Rajai Davis hit his
World Series-tying home run in Game 7 for
Cleveland.
The son of Oaklands general manager, 6year-old Judah, would not go to sleep: The
boy wanted to stay up and watch the game
until the end.
Its one of those moments in World
Series history I think everyone will remember, said Forst, who was begging his son
to go to bed. The sheer surprise of it. You
didnt expect Raj to be the guy to hit a
homer.
Even before that big hit in the 8-7, 10inning loss to the Cubs, Forst had kept
track of the former Athletics outelder once
he left town in 2010 moving from
Toronto to Detroit and then a year later to
the Indians.
And after several months of searching for
a new center elder, Forst found one in the
familiar Davis. The speedy 36-year-old AL
stolen bases leader received a $6 million,
one-year contract Tuesday

then spoke about his
decision Wednesday.
Its just the place
where I really established
myself as a big leaguer
and really gained the condence that I am a big
league player, Davis
said. The bottom line is
Rajai Davis
this is the best t for my
family and myself. This is what we felt was
going to be benecial for us for this year.
He is expected to hit at the top of the
order, too.
While Davis has played the two corner
outeld spots more regularly the past two
years, he is eager to get back in center where
Forst said his defense remains excellent.
Davis, who also played for San Francisco
in 2007 and into 08, hit a tying two-run
homer off Aroldis Chapman in the eighth
inning against the champion Cubs. He

Tottenham denies Chelsea record victory

By Rob Harris
LONDON Dele Alli underlined his

growing reputation by single-handedly ending Chelseas 13-match winning run
Wednesday, scoring two headed goals to
give Tottenham a 2-0 victory over the
Premier League leaders.
The defense has been the bedrock of
Chelseas three-month hot streak but Alli
was gifted space to score carbon copy goals
in each half at White Hart Lane after meeting
crosses from Christian Eriksen.
By taking his tally to seven goals in four
games, the 20-year-old Alli inflicted
Chelseas first loss since its last trip to
north London at Arsenal in September and
prevented the Blues from earning a league
record 14th successive win in a single season.
This league is very tough, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said. Now its important to restart. After 13 wins in a row its difficult to accept defeat.
Chelsea still leads Liverpool by five
points but Tottenham is now only seven
points behind in third after a fifth successive victory.
Its a big statement for us but we are
happy to stay under the radar, said Alli,
whose teams hopes of a first title since
1961 were ended by Chelsea last season.

Conte established the winning run that
sent Chelsea to the summit after switching
to a three-man defense to stem the tide of
goals in a 3-0 first half collapse at Arsenal.
But the defense is now leaking goals,
conceding four in the last two matches after
only letting in two in the previous 12 fixtures. Tottenham matched Chelseas formation and restricted Contes side to few
chances, while proving more cohesive and
solid at the back to frustrate the visitors
forward line.
I didnt get on the ball as much as I would
have liked to, Alli said.
The midfielder didnt need to.
Alli was described on the eve of the game
by manager Mauricio Pochettino as the
most important player to emerge in
English football in recent years. Signed

for 5 million pounds (then $8 million), Alli
lived up to his managers exalted praise
with his mastery of the attacking spaces.
While Chelsea was looking more likely
to score on the counterattack in the first
half, Tottenham used a break to devastating
effect on the stroke of halftime with Alli
making the breakthrough.
Kyle Walker teed up Eriksen and as the
cross was floated into the penalty area, Alli
was left unmarked between Victor Moses
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris blocked a low

shot from Diego Costa, Eden Hazards low
header was off target and Moses penalty
appeals were dismissed when he was clipped
by Mousa Dembele.
Spurs then punished Chelseas porous
defending again in the 54th minute with a
replica of the opener.
Walker did the running down the right
flank before laying the ball off for Eriksen.
The Danish international picked out Alli
between Moses and Azpilicueta, and the
midfielder found the target with this header.
We were short of the levels we set ourselves, for whatever reason that may be, a
few misplaced passes and not moving the
ball as quick as we have been, Chelsea
defender Gary Cahill said. They are a top
quality opposition and we got punished for
being short.

It was an assertive start to the second half
by Chelsea, but Tottenham preserved its
lead.
Chelseas plight in the derby was summed

up in the first half by the teams top scorer,
Costa, engaging in an on-pitch row with
Pedro Rodriguez for several minutes. It followed Pedros failure to run into space in
front of goal to meet a pass from Costa
when the score was still 0-0.
It is normal disappointment, Conte
said. It was a good chance for us and we
wasted it.
Oft-injured Vonn could return to competition next week

By Eric Willemsen
ZAGREB, Croatia Lindsey Vonn could

make her World Cup return in Austria next
week, two months after undergoing surgery
on a broken arm.
The Alpine director of the U.S. ski team,
Patrick Riml, told The Associated Press on
Wednesday that Vonn had resumed ski training
in Colorado this week and that she planned to
travel to Europe at the weekend.
She had a couple of free runs yesterday,
Riml said. Her coach Chris (Knight) is on
the way to Colorado. They are planning on
free skiing today and then decide on whats
possible, on what makes sense.
A downhill and a combined event are scheduled

for
AltenmarktZauchensee on Jan. 1415, with more speed races
coming up in Germany
and Italy ahead of the Feb.
6-19 world championships in Switzerland.
Maybe she needs more
Lindsey Vonn
training, maybe she feels
confident, Riml said. We are hoping that
she comes back rather sooner than later,
maybe its Altenmarkt, maybe its Garmisch,
maybe its Cortina. It all depends on how
things are going the next couple of days.
The four-time overall champion, who broke
her right arm in a crash while training in

Colorado in November, hasnt raced since
fracturing her left knee during a super-G crash
in Andorra in February 2016.
The knee injury hampered her preparation
for the new season, and Vonn decided to sit out
the opening giant slalom race in Austria in
October in order to focus on speed races in
Canada late November.
However, the training crash on Nov. 11 prevented her from competing again.
Speaking the day before a mens World Cup
slalom in Zagreb, Riml said: Her time on
snow in the whole prep period was very limited. We just have to see how her hand is feeling, how her whole body is feeling the next
couple of days and then make the decision
when it is the right time for her to come

back.
Another American standout, Julia Mancuso,
was also planning her return to World Cup racing in January, probably in AltenmarktZauchensee, after sitting out last season following hip surgery.
Riml said Mancuso, a winner of nine medals
at major championships, was set to join the
American speed team for training sessions on
the Turracher Hoehe pass in Austria this week.
Then well have to see how she is feeling.
She didnt have too many days on speed
skis, Riml said. Shes going into the training runs in Zauchensee, and then well decide
whether it makes sense for her to compete or
not.

Allen back in Duke lineup after one-game suspension

By Joedy McCreary
DURHAM, N.C. Grayson Allen is back

for No. 8 Duke after serving a one-game suspension for his latest trip of an opponent.
Allen was in the starting lineup for the
Blue Devils against Georgia Tech on
Wednesday night the final game for Hall
of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski before he
takes a leave of absence to have back surgery.
Allen was suspended indefinitely Dec. 22,
one day after he was caught tripping an
opposing player for the third time in a calendar year. This time he was caught tripping
Elons Steven Santa Ana on a drive in the
LOUNGE
chute as they take on Menlo School in the
opener. The Knights are the defending CCS
Division II champions. Two days later, Notre
Dame faces Sacred Heart Prep, which lost to
Menlo in the CCS finals last season. The
Tigers will finally host their first home game
of the season when a potent Crystal Springs
side travels to Belmont Jan. 17.
While the Tigers playoff streak is technically not over, it would take a monumental collapse during league play to deny them a postseason berth.

A pair of Peninsula-based tennis players
made some serious noise on the national level
over the holiday break.
Carolyn Campana, a 17-year-old out of
Hillsborough, paired with Ivana Corley of
Albuquerque, New Mexico to win the USTA
National Winter Championships 18-and-under
doubles title in Arizona. In singles play, Sacred
Heart Prep junior Sarah Choy finished third in
the 18s draw.
The finish caps a strong 2016 for Campana,
whose parents are members of Peninsula
Tennis Club. Campana goes to the prestigious
IMG Academy in Florida, where a number of the
best young tennis players in the world train
and attend school. In February 2016, Campana
captured the USTA Closed Regional 18s singles
championship in Arizona. In May, Campana

At
the
time,
Krzyzewski said he would
suspend the preseason AP
All-American guard and
his teams second-leading scorer until I feel
good about the entire situation where he is at.
Krzyzewski is schedGrayson Allen
uled to have the operation Friday and the school expects him to
be back in roughly four weeks. Associate
head coach Jeff Capel will be in charge during Coach Ks absence, with his first game
coming Saturday against Boston College.
Allen watched from the bench in street
clothes Saturday as Virginia Tech routed the

Blue Devils 89-75. After that game,
Krzyzewski revealed that he had stripped
Allen of his team captaincy.
Allen was also caught tripping
Louisvilles Ray Spalding and Florida
States Xavier Rathan-Mayes during games
in February 2016. The trip of Spalding
earned him a flagrant foul; there was no foul
whistled after Rathan-Mayes hit the floor,
though that move did earn Allen a reprimand
from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
In a scheduling twist, Allen and the Blue
Devils visit both the 12th-ranked
Seminoles and ninth-ranked Cardinals next
week.
Allens suspension was one of the latest
twists in an already drama-filled first two

months of the season for a Duke team
picked No. 1 in the preseason on the
strength of a roster that includes Allen and
four immediate-impact freshmen, and one
that now will have to deal with not having
the winningest mens coach in Division I
history for a while.
Until now, the full roster has been available at the same time for only about three
days, with three of the newcomers Harry
Giles, Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum
sidelined to start the year with injuries.
Giles, the highest profile of the bunch,
missed the first 11 games before making his
debut on Dec. 19 two nights before
Allens latest tripping episode.
was named IMG Academys Player of the Year

and in June won the 18s NorCal Junior
Sectionals singles crown.
Campana and Corley, the No. 3 seed, won
six matches in a row in the 64-team field to win
the doubles crown at the National Winter
Championships. They won their first three
matches in straight sets, dropping a total of 10
games over six sets.
They were pushed in the quarterfinal match,
needing a third-set tiebreaker to get past the
sixth-seeded team, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(5). They won
in a walkover in the semifinals before winning
the final 6-3, 6-2.
Choy is a junior who won her first 79 matches and was the two-time defending Central
Coast Section singles champion, but lost in
the finals this past season. She was seeded seventh at the National Winter Championships
and cruised through her first five matches in
straight sets, also losing only 10 games along
the way.
She knocked off fourth-seeded Elysia Bolton
6-2, 6-0 in the semifinals. In the quarterfinals,
she won the first set over No. 8 Chelsea Kung
6-4, but Kung rallied to win the next two sets
6-3, 6-1. Kung would go on to beat No. 6
Abigail Forbes for the championship.
Choy took third in a walkover when unseeded Vivian Glozman could not go because of
injury.

CSM (1-0 Coast Conference, 8-8 overall)
out-rebounded the Renegades 49-32 and of
those 49, 23 were offensive boards.
The other key to the Bulldogs win was
their night at the free-throw line. An area of
struggle for CSM throughout the season, the
Bulldogs used the charity stripe to stay in the
game, converting 18 of 25 attempts.
Our free-throw shooting is something
weve wanted to work on, Warner said.
CSM made more free throws (18) than
Ohlone attempted (14).
What killed CSM early on were the lazy
and telegraphed passes that Ohlone (0-1, 59) picked up throughout the game, especially
the first half when Ohlone came up with 10
steals that resulted in numerous fast-break
points.
In the second half, CSM did a better job of
protecting the basketball and the Bulldogs
ramped up their full-court press that resulted
in transition baskets and enabled the
Bulldogs to get back in the game.
CSM trailed by 12 at halftime, 28-16, but
they kept things close in the third quarter,
outscoring the Renegades 15-11 to trail by
eight, 39-31, going into the fourth period.
After Ohlones Amari Coleman drained a
3-pointer to start the fourth, CSM responded
with a 15-0 run, turning a a 42-31 deficit into
a 46-42 lead when Elzy scored on the block
Ohlone came back with a 5-0 run of its own

for a 47-46 and still led by four, 53-49, with
1:25 to play in the fourth.
Millet and Elzy, however, converted backto-back buckets with just under a minute
remaining to tie the score at 53 and then
both teams did their best to gag the game
away. First, CSM threw the ball out of
bounds for a turnover with 10 seconds
remaining.
But the Bulldogs defense forced an Ohlone
turnover at midcourt, but CSMs Kendra Croft
could not get her layup attempt to fall at the
buzzer and the game went into overtime.
Thats when Millet took over. She scored
six of her teams 12 points in the extra period and grabbed five of her seven rebounds.
In overtime, we needed her scoring and
rebounding, Warner said.
The final 15 minutes were a far cry from the
first 20 as the Bulldogs struggled to score
points in the opening two quarters. CSM was
only 5 of 31 from the field in the first half.
After Bonaparte knocked down a 3 to give
CSM an 8-6 lead with 5:17 left in the first
quarter, the Bulldogs managed only eight
more points over the next 15 minutes, scoring just three points in the second quarter as
they were held to 1 for 16 shooting.

Little League adopts new rules,

including background checks
By Kurt Voigt
Little League International

announced mandatory criminal
background checks for its volunteer coaches, new eligibility
requirements for players and a host
of new rules on Wednesday intended
to increase the pace of play.
Under the rules changes that take
effect this year, local leagues will
have the option to force batters to
keep one foot in the batters box
during regular-season games and
allow intentional walks by
announcing the decision to the
umpire rather than throwing four
balls. Umpires will also be able to
eject a player and manager determined to be stealing signs.
Leagues will now be required to
conduct nationwide background
checks of sex offender registry data
and other criminal records for its
coaches and others involved with
running teams.
No local league shall permit any
person to participate in any man-

Stanford DL Thomas
declares for NFL draft
STANFORD Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas will
leave school early to enter the NFL
draft.
Thomas is projected by some
experts as a first-round pick.
Thomas was a first-team All-Pac-
ner whose background check

reveals a conviction, guilty plea,
no contest plea, or admission to
any crime involving or against a
minor or minors, Little League
said.
Little League also changed its eligibility rules nearly two years after
a residency scandal cost Chicagobased Jackie Robinson West its
national title. The rules remove a
school report card as proof of residence, replacing it with a school
enrollment form and documents
from each of three residency categories.
While a report card has been
removed as proof of residence,
Little League is continuing to use
the same 17 accepted documents to
prove residency three of which
are required along with a birth certificate and school enrollment
form. They include examples such
as employment records, tax records
and utility bills.
On the Little League website, the
organization wrote that it put the
documents into different categories
requiring one from each to

make sure forms came from multiple origins.
In the case of Jackie Robinson
West, Little League court filings
said the original league boundary
map submitted when the team
began tournament play accurately
reflected the league boundaries
but showed only five of the teams
players lived within them. Maps
submitted later by Jackie Robinson
West then showed that all players
lived within the boundaries,
according to the court documents.
In the court papers, Little League
contended that as accusations of
impropriety began to surface after
the teams title run, a district
administrator and a team director
met with officials from surrounding
leagues to attempt to persuade
them to retroactively agree to
boundary changes so players
would not be found ineligible.
Eventually, the teams district,
Illinois District 4, was disbanded
and its six teams assigned to different districts.

69-83 last season to nish with one more

Now, Davis is determined to bring experi-

season.
Lynn split a six-year NFL career between
Denver and San Francisco in the 1990s, and
then broke into the coaching ranks in 2000
pick. Im still shaking a little bit. Hes is such

a big goalie, I felt the best way to score on him
was going five-hole. The second and third
time, I was just trying to figure it out as I went
down.
The shootout hat trick matched Jonathan
Toews feat for Canada in a 2-1 semifinal victory over the United States in 2007.
He has great skill, great hands, said U.S.
defenseman Charlie McAvoy of Boston
University. Hes got ice in his veins, and he
proved that tonight.
Terry and Jeremy Bracco of Kitchener of the
Ontario Hockey League scored in the initial
five-round shootout, with Terry making it 2-1
and Bracco tying it at 2 to keep the tiebreaker
going.
The teams were allowed to repeat shooters
after the fifth round, with Denis Guryanov connecting for the second time for Russia and Terry
countering to keep the Americans alive.
Boston Colleges Colin White scored twice

and Wisconsins Luke Kunin added a goal in
regulation for the Americans. Tyler Parsons
stopped 33 shots. Parsons plays for London in
the OHL.
Im so happy for our guys and the fight that
they showed, said coach Bob Motzko of St.
Cloud State. That was a tremendous game to be
a part of. Well enjoy this for a little, but our
guys know the mission isnt over. Its exciting
to know we have a chance at the gold medal
tomorrow.
Guryanov had two goals for Russia, Kirill
Kaprizov also scored, and Samsonov made 40
saves.
Obviously its super tough, Russian
defenseman Mikhail Sergyachov said. We
wanted to win that game. We did everything we
could to win. We lost in the shootout.
Seeking its fourth title and first since 2013,
the U.S. beat Russia in the knockout round for
the first time in eight games. The Americans

also beat Russia 3-2 in the preliminary round.
It was more than just a game, White said.
Knowing we lost seven times in a row, we had
to do this for more than ourselves, for our country, and we pulled it off.
Kunin tied it at 2 on a power play at 10:23.
The Minnesota Wild first-round draft pick completed a beautiful tic-tac-toe play from Bracco
and Boston Universitys Jordan Greenway.
White put the Americans in front six minutes
later when his wrist shot from the left faceoff
dot took a deflection off Russian defenseman
Yegor Rykov and eluded Samsonovs glove.
Clayton Keller could have put the game away
for the Americans when he was awarded a penalty shot at 5:14 of the third. The Boston
University forward went high with a backhander, and Samsonov made a nice glove save.
Guryanov tied it at 3 less than a minute later,
beating Parsons through the legs.

Davis batted .249 with 12 home runs and
48 RBIs in 134 games during his lone sea-
son with the Indians, his sixth major league

team. He had 23 doubles and two triples.
With 43 stolen bases, he became the
fourth-oldest player to lead the league in
steals after Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson
in 1998 and Eddie Collins in 1923 and 24.
He still has his legs, obviously. Thats a
big part of the attraction to Raj is the way
he runs, and that translates to the eld with
him, Forst said. Theres a group of guys
out there who keep up that skill into their
mid- to late-30s and Raj is clearly one of
those guys. He takes great care of himself,

he spends a lot of time on his body and hes
gotten better at stealing bases as the years
have gone on. He knows how to run the
bases.

Cleveland before being hired to Ryans staff
with the New York Jets in 2009.
Lynn previously interviewed for both the
head coaching and offensive coordinator
jobs in San Francisco last offseason.
San Francisco has had three coaches in
the past three seasons, having let go of Jim
Harbaugh following an 8-8 record in 2014
and then firing Jim Tomsula after a 5-11 season and Kelly after the team matched the
worst record in franchise history at 2-14.
The Niners became the first team in nearly four decades to fire coaches in successive
seasons after only one-year tenures. The
only other time that happened since the
1970 merger came when San Francisco fired
Monte Clark after the 1976 season and Ken
Meyer the following year. The 49ers then
fired Pete McCulley midway through the
1978 season and interim coach Fred

OConnor after the year before hiring Bill
Walsh to start a dynasty.

The 49ers have also been linked to New

England offensive coordinator Josh
McDaniels, Atlanta offensive coordinator
Kyle Shanahan, Washington offensive
coordinator Sean McVay, Miami defensive
coordinator Vance Joseph and McDermott as
possible head coach candidates.

Theres more to poinsettias than their showy leaves

By Lee Reich
Early winter is when poinsettias come

into the limelight, showing off their colors in homes and shop windows. But a
poinsettia is more than just seasonally
flamboyant.
To check out more of this plants botanical flair, set your holiday poinsettia on a
table in good light so that you can look
closely at its flowers. The flowers are not
those large, red, leaf-like structures; those
are just that modified leaves called
bracts. The bracts are for attracting pollinating insects.
The flowers are in the cyathiums, the little, greenish, cup-shaped structures above
the bracts. Each cyathium contains a single female flower surrounded by a harem of
males.
Pluck a cyathium from the plant and slice
it in half from top to bottom. A magnifying glass helps here. Youll see the cyathiums inner wall is lined with numerous tiny
flowers which, when the flower is mature,
protrude up through the cups opening.
These are all male flowers. You might also
see a stalk attached to the very bottom of
the cyathium, protruding up through the
cup opening and capped by what looks like
a turban. That is the female flower.
On the outside of the cyathium is a single yellow gland that looks like the mouth
of a fish poised to ingest food. Next time a
poinsettias are given artificially long

nights by being covered with shade cloth.
You can use this trick to make your poinsettia bloom again whenever you want.
But first, your plant needs a rest. In the
next few weeks, dropping leaves and fading flowers will tell you that it wants to be
left alone, kept slightly cool, and watered
just enough to keep its stems from shriveling.
The plant should start to perk up in about
April. Shorten the stems and give it good
light preferably outdoors, once the
weather warms and fertilizer and water as
needed. In late summer, move the plant
back indoors, to a sunny window.
Begin the light treatment three months
before you would like the plant to bloom.
Make sure it gets 14 hours of uninterrupted
darkness daily by moving it into a dark
closet or covering it with an opaque bag.
Uninterrupted darkness means just that;

may be evening out.
Things are pretty level compared to
prior years, Raigoza said, referencing the
countys $1.6 billion in revenue having
only increased $400,000 this year. Whats
always the big unknown is what happens at
the federal and state level. Because that
always has an impact on local governments.
Perhaps one of the most pressing uncertainties is what will happen to the ACA,
which for a county mandated to offer health
services to the indigent could prove problematic. The county spent $265 million on
its medical center and since the state
expanded required service offerings, having
more people covered with insurance was a
valuable tool. Should federal support dwindle under the new presidential administration, Raigoza said the effects would likely
trickle down to the countys budget.
Its hard to say whats going to happen
the devils going to be in the details. It
all depends on how its changed, if its
changed, Raigoza said. Lets say the ACA
went away, its going to increase the number of uninsured and its going to take people off Medi-Cal. What that means is the
countys going to continue to provide
those services, but now were not going to
have the revenue coming in.
The county must also think about repairs
to its mental health center, which is antiquated and may need to be rebuilt in the near
future. That center isnt included in the
countys plans to spend $182 million on
capital improvements and information
technology upgrades, Raigoza noted. In
total, officials should expect nearly $500
million in improvements over the coming
years.
Planned improvements for this 2016-17
fiscal year include nearly $22 million to
replace the Coyote Point Animal Care
Shelter, $32.9 million to replace the Public
Safety Dispatch and Emergency Operations
Center, $4.5 million for the Maple Street
Shelter renovation and another $6.5 million for the Maguire Correctional Facility
improvements.
The county does have plans to put quite
a bit of money in both capital and IT projects. And its not only one-time expenses
to build a building, whether its a fire station or mental health facility, theres also

ment rate and the well-known housing crisis continuing, Raigoza questioned how
much more growth the county can handle.
I believe things are definitely slowing
down compared to the last couple years.
The growth has been incredible. Were at a
point in San Mateo County where unemployment is [3.3] percent, its super low,
its pretty much full employment. Then
housing is in big demand and theres little
supply. If theres growth, where are we
going to put the people? Raigoza said. At
the end of the day, thats pretty much what
it amounts to; we have limited capacity.
Quick points
additional monies that will be required on
an annual basis to maintain that infrastructure, Raigoza said.
Its also expected to cost millions of dollars to upgrade the countys IT system that
deals with property taxes, he added.
The last fiscal year brought one of the
highest upswings in property tax revenue
with an 8 percent increase, as compared to
6 percent the last two years and just 1 percent in 2011-12. But indicators point to
the market tapering off.
Courtesy of Proposition 13, property tax
remains fairly consistent for longtime
property owners by keeping the percentage
tied to the original assessed value. But
when theres a change in ownership, the
property is reassessed to market value. In
cases when a person sells the home theyve
owned for many years, the tax revenue can
jump sometimes five times as much as
before, Raigoza said.
Those are big jumps and the market in
San Mateo [County] has been insane
$1.3 million for the average home is a lot
of money, Raigoza said. But as the market slows down, that means the increase in
assessed value will slow down and also
theres less transfers happening, less
change in homeownership.
Even if sales were to plateau, its highly
unlikely that property tax revenue would
decrease. Instead, the county may just see
less of an increase from year to year, he
said.
Plus with an extremely low unemploy-
The countys net worth as of June 2016

was $1. 8 billion, up $249 million.
Revenue hit $1.6 billion and the countys
total expenses increased by $110 million
to $1.36 billion.
The population increased to 766,041
residents, up about 7,000 people while
unemployment is down to 3.3 percent from
7 percent in 2012. Average income per
capita has also risen from about $80,000 in
2011 to $97,533 in 2015.
San Mateo County single-family home
prices are the second highest on the
Peninsula, trailing San Francisco County
by just $25,000. The average property
went for about $1.325 million last year.
The largest property tax generators
include Pacific Gas and Electric contributing $20. 3 million; Genentech paying
$18.8 million, United Airlines at $17 million, Gilead Sciences at $12.3 million,
Google at $9.2 million and Oracle at $7.3
million.
The countys entire property assessment roll for the coming fiscal year is
expected to hit $192 billion, up $13.5 billion.
The countys largest expense was on public protection which includes the
Sheriffs Office and jail at $358 million,
up $36 million from the year before. That
increase can in part be attributed to new jail
opening, Raigoza noted.
Other top expenses include $265 for
health and sanitation, $265 million for the
medical center and $222 million on public
assistance.

The big thing in TV sets this year is: Big TV sets

By Mae Anderson
lic viewing areas in Japan.
SEEING IN COLOR
LAS VEGAS Whats new in television

sets this year? Incrementally better pictures,
larger screens and cheaper prices and
thats about it.
True, set manufacturers are bombarding
consumers with a whole series of buzzwords
OLED, 4K, 8K, HDR, QLED, wide color
gamut intended to spur excitement and
generate sales. Flashy new sets with these
supposedly must have features are getting
the spotlight Wednesday at the annual CES
gadget show in Las Vegas.
But when it comes down to it, none of
these amount to revolutionary improvements for your living room. Set manufacturers may not have run out of technological
tricks yet, but for this year, at least, theyre
reduced to improving whats already out
there.
Thats a good thing, said Gartner analyst
Brian Blau, looking for the bright side.
Products need to be improved.
Some TV makers are pushing curved-screen

models, which aim to provide more immersive viewing by giving
viewers a wider image via
their peripheral vision.
Theyre also touting
improvements in color.
OLED screen technology produces better colors
in part because it doesnt
have to be backlit the
way standard TVs do. But
its more expensive. So
far, LG has sold the
majority of OLED sets,
though other manufacturers including Sony may
announce OLED plans at
CES.
Samsung, meanwhile,
has been touting quantum dot technology,
including a refined version called QLED
announced Tuesday at
CES. Quantum dot is
essentially a layer of
materials for purer colors and brighter displays. LG, Samsung and others also have
high-dynamic range, or HDR, for brighter
whites, darker blacks, and a wider range of
colors. TCL has an HDR variant called Dolby
Vision.
TRAPPED IN THE BOX

Set manufacturers are in a bind. Gadgets
like virtual-reality headsets and smartphones
have snagged much of the buzz that flashy
new TVs once had.
And while all sorts of other gadgets are
getting more intelligent, so-called smart
TVs that manage streaming-video services
and let you play games have largely left consumers cold. Instead, the brains behind such
features have largely migrated to set-top
boxes offered by the likes of Roku, Apple
and Amazon or by cable companies themselves. So TV makers like Samsung and LG
have doubled down on what they know best:
screen technology.
These days, youre seeing a lot more marketing buzz about 4K sets, which offer
twice the screen resolution of todays high
definition, or HD, sets. 4K technology is
making a push into the mainstream this year,
as prices come down and video providers
offer more 4K streaming and channels.
The next step in picture clarity is on its
way with so-called 8K sets, which offer
four times the resolution of HD, although
the technology remains out of reach for
most people. During the Summer
Olympics last year, for instance, experimental 8K broadcasts were limited to pub-
DOES IT MATTER?
Whether the average human eye can really
appreciate all this particularly on smaller
screens is another matter. 4K sets, for
instance, offer sharper pictures than older
HD screens, but the difference is nowhere as
dramatic as the change from older standard
definition to HD.
And some of these technologies improve
video only for the few movies and shows that
support them. For now, technologies like
HDR are high-end features for high-end sets,
just as 4K was a few years ago.
Theres always a push-and-pull between
what TV companies try to sell consumers and
what they actually need, IHS Markit analyst
Paul Gagnon said.
Ed Morrissey, a writer in Minneapolis,
recently bought a 55-inch Samsung 4K TV
with a curved screen and HDR, in part to

future-proof a purchase he could be living
with for almost a decade. If Im going to do
something new, I want to make sure I have
the emerging technology, he said.
Its far from
clear, however, which of the color technologies will become standard. Buyers like
Morrissey could end up stranded if, for
instance, HDR fails to take off just as buyers of 3-D sets were after the technology
flopped.
TV manufacturers are taking some other
steps to make their sets more useful.
Gagnon said he expects announcements
from TV makers about how their sets will
work with new home hubs such as the
Amazon Echo and Google Home. And
Samsung, Philips and others are allowing
people to use smartphones and tablets and
voice control to better navigate through
channels and streaming services.
RUNNING FOR 4K
About 19 percent of TVs sold in the U.S. in
the past year were 4K, up from just 7 percent
a year earlier,
according to NPD.
Thats expected to
increase to about
one-third of TV
sales in 2017, as
TV makers unveil
more models at a
wider range of
prices, including
budget options.
But HDTVs still
suffice for many,
especially those
uninterested
in
large screens. 4K
makes a difference
only when the
screen is large
enough and the
couch
close
enough.
4K is kind of
too much for the
amount of time I use
it, said John Murphy, a Barnstable,
Massachusetts, retiree who bought a 50-inch
Samsung HD TV recently to replace his 10year-old Sony 42-incher.
A BUYING OPPORTUNITY
High-end screens and other technologies
that were out of reach for most TV shoppers
are becoming much more affordable.
Consumers are snapping up bargains. NPD
says there were 37.4 million TV units sold in
the U.S. in the 12 months ending in
September, up 4 percent from a year ago.
Over that time, the average TV selling price
dropped 3 percent to $432.

STOEHR
Stoehr grew up in the Bay Area and
has spent the last 25 years working in
fair and venue industries in
Washington state as well as San
Mateo, Alameda and Solano counties.
A San Mateo resident, she was initially hired in 2006 as the countys assistant general fair manager before leaving in 2013 to run an East Bay event
venue. She returned and was working
as chief operating officer of the countys Event Center when its former CEO
quit. Now she lives just a short walk
from the property shes charged with
leading.
This has always been home. As
Dorothy said, theres no place like
home. Its true and in the venue world,
when you can run a facility that affects
your own community, its a very different input and outcome when leadership
has the kind of investment that I do,
Stoehr said.
The Event Center at the corner of
Saratoga Drive and Delaware Street
hosts more than 300 events a year but
is best known as grounds of the San
Mateo County Fair and home to the
Bay Area Maker Faire. Originally set
aside as county property in the 1930s,
Stoehr said its vital to keep the facilities aligned with modern needs.
Its a legacy property and thats a
big deal and its special to be a part of
that and make it relevant and help its
future, Stoehr said, adding shes
pleased her work involves collaborating with stakeholders as well as city
HEALTH
Office, he said repealing and replacing
Obamas law will be the presidentelects first order of business.
The American people voted decisively for a better future for health care
in this country, and we are determined
to give them that, Pence said.
Outnumbered in the new Congress,
Democrats didnt sound confident in
stopping the Republicans cold but signaled they wouldnt make the GOPs
job any easier. New Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said
that if the Republicans do scuttle the
health care law, they will have to come
up with a replacement plan before
Democrats consider whether to help
them revamp the system.
That adds pressure on Republicans,
who for years have battled among
themselves over what a new law would
look like, including how to finance its
programs and whether to keep
Obamas expansion of Medicaid for
and county officials.

While the county fair best known
as a place where innovation meets tradition is the venues marquee event,
the industry is evolving, Stoehr said.
We have this gem, so what do we do
with it to keep it current and relevant?
Stoehr said. Its really the most exciting time to be at the Event Center more
than any other time that Ive been here
because were really focusing on looking at solutions.
She emphasized the fair would
remain a pinnacle of the center, but
noted other trends such as fewer trade
shows but an increase in tech events or
corporate gatherings opting for San
Mateo. With that in mind, theyll look
to enhance the conference and convention facilities. Other upgrades may
include improvements to the parking
lot, entrance and striving to bring the
property up to par with the neighboring Bay Meadows development,
Stoehr said.
But ultimately, decisions about the
Event Center must be weighed by the
community it represents, she noted.
I think the answer lies not just with
one person, I think thats a broader
[question] that needs to be answered by
the stakeholders, the citizens, the
county, the guests, the users, Stoehr
said. We really want the property to
be used in the best and most comprehensive way that it can and that will
require really a lot of commitment and
input. Its important to take the
community with you in that process
and were just beginning to do that.
The goal is to keep the property
vibrant, she said.
We have to be innovative and I
think youre seeing that trend with

properties that are like expo centers,
event centers, fairgrounds, throughout
the state of California. Its really having to stretch and be creative about
working with communities to be relevant and stay relevant, she said.
One offering thats unlikely to
change, however, is the jockey club
the largest satellite-wagering center in
Northern California. The centers ability to offer horse race betting was
established by the Legislature and represents a piece of history from the
property next door. When Bay
Meadows race track was torn down for
a new massive transit-oriented housing and commercial development, officials negotiated for the gambling
rights to be transferred to the neighboring Event Center, Stoehr said.
The proceeds contribute significantly to the Event Centers budget and
Stoehr was recently elected to the
board of California Authority of
Racing Fairs. Shes also currently
director for Region 7 of the
International Association of Venue
Managers.
With more than 300 events a year at
San Mateos facility, theres often
more than one going on at any given
day sometimes even five events on
the property at the same time, she said.
Shes also now responsible for overseeing the centers $12 million annual
budget, about 45 full-time employees
and hundreds of seasonal workers.
Its a profession that requires passion, Stoehr said, distinguishing her
job from others that may not require as
much night or weekend work. But I
cant imagine doing anything else.
more lower-income people.

Theyre repealing, were not. Its
their obligation to come up with a
replacement, Schumer said, a sentiment he said he believed Democrats
shared unanimously.
Obama and Pence held dueling strategy sessions with lawmakers at the
Capitol as the new Republican-led
Congress commenced its drive to dissolve the health care statute. The 2010
overhaul, which has extended coverage
to 20 million people and reshaped the
nations $3 trillion-a-year health care
system, has long stood as one of
Obamas proudest triumphs and the
ascendant GOPs top target for extinction.
Despite the negativity you have a
big chunk of the country that wants
this thing to succeed, Obama told
Democrats, according to an aide who
attended Wednesdays session.
The two sides traded insults through
the day.
Dont let the Schumer clowns out of
this web, Trump wrote on Twitter.
Said Schumer: The Republican plan
to cut health care wouldnt make
America great again, it would make

America sick again.
Previewing an attack line sure to be
heard again in this years debate,
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
said the GOP is aiming to also scuttle
Medicaid and Medicare, going after
programs that are very personal in
the lives of the American people.
Even with White House and congressional
control,
annulling
Obamacare and replacing it looms as
a daunting task for the GOP.
Leaders hope to have legislation
voiding much of the law on Trumps
desk by late next month, Republicans
said. But after six years of failing to
unite behind an alternative, GOP leaders are discussing postponing when
repeal would take effect for 18 months
or longer, allowing more time to craft
replacement legislation.
Underscoring the laws widespread
constituency, the Obama administration said at least 8.8 million people
signed up through Dec. 31 for coverage in 2017. Even so, outside experts
doubt the administration will meet its
nationwide target of 13. 8 million
signups.
Millions more have coverage under the statutes
Medicaid expansion.
Trump has provided few
details about how he would
redesign the law, but has said
he wants to retain popular
provisions like ensuring
coverage for people with
pre-existing medical problems.
Republicans will also need
to figure out how to protect
health coverage for millions
of Americans during a transition period and how to avoid
market-place bedlam as nervous insurance companies
stop selling policies or
boost rates. Seemingly
acknowledging that danger,
Trump tweeted warnings to
GOP lawmakers.
Massive increases of
ObamaCare will take place
this year and Dems are to
blame for the mess, he
wrote. It will fall of its own
weight be careful!

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

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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Geralyn M. Paris
Case Number: 16PRO00520
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Geralyn M. Paris, aka,
Geralyn Marie Paris, aka, Geralyn Paris.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Alma G. Ramirez in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Alma
G. Ramirez be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. The petition requests the
decedents will and codicils, if any, be
admitted to probate. The will and any
codicils are available for examination in
the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 13, 2017
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.
