DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In the ongoing effort to create a system of express lanes

Crews struggle to keep flames Around the state

from California neighborhoods
By Christopher Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A cooking fire at a
homeless encampment sparked a wild-
fire last week that destroyed six homes
in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los
Angeles, authorities said Tuesday,
while the fifth-largest wildfire in
California history burning northwest
of the city kept expanding and kept
thousands out of their homes.
They are among a half-dozen fires
that flared in Southern California last
week and were driven by fiercely gust-
ing Santa Ana winds.
Arson investigators determined that
the Bel Air fire near the world-famous
Getty museum was started by an illegal
fire at a camp near a freeway underpass,
city fire Capt. Erik Scott said.
The camp was empty when firefight-
ers found it but people apparently had
been sleeping and cooking there for at
least several days, he said.
Northwest of Los Angeles, firefight-
ers protected foothill homes while the
fire grew mostly into forest land,
Santa Barbara County Fire Department
spokesman Mike Eliason said.
Red Flag warnings for fire danger due
to Santa Ana winds and a critical lack
of moisture were extended into the
week, with a possible increase in gusts
Thursday into Friday.
Tens of thousands of people remain
evacuated, including many from the
seaside enclaves of Montecito,
Summerland and Carpinteria and the
inland agricultural town of Fillmore.
Still among evacuees due to smoke
Tuesday were Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame member Eric Burdon and his
wife, Marianna, of Ojai. Last week,
Burdon wrote on Facebook about hav-
ing to flee and returning temporarily
to find their home still standing with
ashes all around.
A week like this gives you the per-

spective that life is what truly mat-
ters, he wrote.
A photo accompanying the post
showed his handprint and signature
written in ashes.
Residents near a Carpinteria avocado
orchard said the trees could end up sav-
ing their homes.
You have a thick layer of leaves
underneath the bottom and they are
watered regularly, so its like a
sponge, Jeff Dreyer, who lives near-
by, told KEYT-TV. So the fire gets to
the sponge full of water and it slows it
down.
Officials handed out masks to those
who stayed behind in Montecito, an
exclusive community about 75 miles
(120 kilometers) from Los Angeles

thats home to stars such as Oprah
Winfrey, Jeff Bridges and Drew
Barrymore. Actor Rob Lowe was
among residents who evacuated over
the weekend.
The blaze known as the Thomas
Fire has destroyed more than 680
homes, officials said. It was just par-
tially contained after burning more
than 360 square miles (930 square
kilometers) of dry brush and timber.
The fire has been burning for more
than a week.
To the north, San Francisco Bay Area
firefighters quickly contained blazes

homes in hills east of Oakland the

Northern California man
gets life term for teen abduction
SAN JOSE A Northern California man has been sen-
tenced to life in prison without parole for abducting and
killing a 15-year-old girl on her way to
school.
The San Jose Mercury news reported
Tuesday that 26-year-old Antolin
Garcia-Torres remained silent and
refused to reveal the location of Sierra
Lamars body during the sentencing
hearing Tuesday. The jury that found
him guilty of Lamars March 2012 mur-
Antolin der rejected recommending the death
penalty earlier this year.
Garcia-Torres Lamars DNA was found in Garcia-
Torres car and his genetic material was on the girls
clothes found in a field near her Morgan Hill home about
20 miles (32 kilometers) south of San Jose.
Garcia-Torres stared straight ahead while Lamars moth-
er implored him to disclose the bodys location.
His attorney, Al Lopez, said he would appeal the con-
viction.
Oakland city workers end 7-day walkout
OAKLAND Oakland city employees returned to work
Tuesday after a seven-day walkout as contract talks contin-
ue.
About 3,000 city employees had gone on strike Dec. 5,
disrupting libraries, programs for seniors and children and
other city services. The workers are asking for wage
increases. Officials say the city would have to fire scores of
workers to come up with the money for the requested raises.
While we didnt settle a contract...city negotiators have
adopted a new tone and demonstrated flexibility and open-
ness to continue negotiations, Felipe Cuevas, Oakland
chapter president of Service Employees International
Union, said in a statement to the East Bay Times late
Monday.
U.S. national parks to
slash number of free days for visitors
CHEYENNE, Wyo. National parks in the U.S. will
sharply drop the number of days they allow visitors to get
in for free, a move that was criticized by opponents of the
parks plan to raise entrance costs at other times of the year.
After waiving fees 16 days in 2016 and 10 days in 2017,
the National Park Service announced Tuesday that it will

Paris hosts major climate summit and its all about Trump
By Thomas Adamson and Philippe Sotto
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS The global climate summit in
Paris was designed to bypass Donald Trump,
but the U.S. president ended up playing a
starring role.
Trump became the unwitting villain as
world leaders, investors and other
Americans assailed him Tuesday for reject-
ing the Paris climate accord.
To emphasize their point and prevent
others from following his lead they
announced more than $1 billion in invest-
ments to make it easier for countries and
industries to give up oil and coal.
French President Emmanuel Macron used
the summit to seize the global spotlight,
capitalizing on Trumps isolationist poli-
cies and German Chancellor Angela
Merkels domestic weakness to position
himself as the worlds moral compass on
climate change.
Were not moving fast enough, Macron
said, warning that the 2015 Paris climate
accord is fragile.
Its time to act and move faster and win
this battle against climate change, he told
the more than 50 world leaders and others
gathered in Paris.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim won

his agency would stop financing oil and gas

The summit, co-hosted by the U.N., the

More than 50 heads of state and government

Muellers probe into Russian meddling in
the 2016 presidential election and possible

A chance to end the case through a single-

most favorable outcome possible, especial-

of Muellers inquiry made criminal prosecu-

Muellers appointment, the FBI had been
investigating Flynns conduct, including
his conversations with the Russian ambas-

In an indication of the value of his coop-
eration, prosecutors charged him only with
false statements and set a guideline range of
zero to 6 months in prison.

Rent increases
Editor,
In recent years rent has had a major
increase. As a Pescadero resident, full-
time single mother, part-time
employee and full-time nursing stu-
dent, its outrageous and frankly quite
shocking to see how much rent has
increased and continues to increase.
Ever since it has increased, families
that grew up and have lived their
entire lives in the Bay Area have been
forced to move out to the valley and
even out of state. Studies have shown
that for a family to be able to afford
rent in the Bay Area, they must be
making over $100,000. Even making
$100,000 annually is considered low
income, isnt that ridiculous? This
isnt practical. How are student and
working families supposed to be able
to afford this? How are families sup-
posed to spend quality time with each
other if they have to work long hours
and sometimes even double shifts to
keep a roof over their familys head.
If rent continues to increase,
employers should also raise wages.
Landlords and employers should come
to some kind of agreement, as this is
a direct relationship. If high rent runs
people out of the Bay Area, they lose
their employees. Commuting every
day is expensive as well. I strongly
believe something has to be done.
Personally, it is impossible to
afford a place on my own when Im a
nursing student and a mother.
Increasing rent is one of the reasons
why many new high school graduates
dont continue higher education; they
are forced to nd jobs to help con-
tribute to rent.

Looking for a
brick-and-mortar bookstore?
Editor,
Now that the holiday season is
here, some of us are looking for a
good bookstore. For many of us, that
simply means contacting Amazon. I
never have, never will, and I will tell
you why.
It comes down to principle for me.
As the owner of a 79-year-old mom-
and-pop lumberyard, I clearly under-
stand the value of a face-to-face rela-
tionship that can only come through
human contact. For those of us who
are in a hurry, which is most of us,
and want to save a buck, this rela-
tionship idea is a lost concept.
Over the years, we have seen a
chain of bookstores called Borders go
away. Currently, Barnes and Noble is
closing some locations. The writing
is on the wall as independent book-
stores like Keplers struggle. I remem-
ber having three independent book-
stores in San Carlos when I was grow-
ing up many years ago. Now they are
just a pleasant memory.
There is currently a bookstore in
San Carlos called the Reading Bug
which is a lot more than a bookstore.
So much so that they were the
Business of the Year in San Carlos
recently. They bring much more to
the table then you will ever nd on
Amazon. For myself, it is about a lot
more than just price alone. I will go
out of my way to support The Reading
Bug.
There may come a day when
Amazon is the only show in town for
books. Watch what happens to prices
when they have eliminated their com-
petition. Grocery stores are next.

OPINION
Al Gore on climate change
Editor,
I just read the news that Al Gore vis-
ited our county to talk about his latest
book An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth
to Power to spread awareness about
climate change (A talk with Al Gore
in the Dec. 9 edition of the Daily
Journal). It is great to know that
someone of his importance is touring
around the United States and visiting
high schools to inspire the youngest
generation of future leaders to change
the world to make it a better place.
Climate change and environmental
issues are not a joke or a distant prob-
lem it is happening right here,
right now, and all we can do is slow it
down. However, our consumerist soci-
ety is doing very little to avoid the
rapid advancement of climate change.
I must admit, it is hard to be environ-
mentally friendly when even our lead-
ers deny this issue; it is a lot easier to
ignore the situation and to just keep
on with our busy lives buying new
clothes, electronics, and one-time-use
utensils.
In this fast-paced life, it is really
vital that we have big champions of
the environment, such as former Vice
President Al Gore or magnate Elon
Musk, come out to the public to
spread awareness of climate change
and to pledge future generations to
lead the change. Best of luck to him
and everyone spreading awareness on
pollution and Earth preservation;
there is denitely a lot of work to do
in our society.

Uniting over climate change
Editor,
Thank you for the article about Al
Gores visit to San Mateo (A talk
with Al Gore published in the Dec. 9
edition of the Daily Journal). I am
deeply encouraged and inspired by the
enthusiasm of the youth movement to
nd solutions to human-caused cli-
mate change.
The fact that Gores message and
work resonates with youth encourages
me to work harder to dialogue with my
friends and family about the climate
crisis, and remind them that we still
have hope to unite together around
solutions, like a fee on carbon, ener-
gy efciency in our homes, work,
places of worship and a diet that is
more centered on plants than animals,
millennials, Gen X, baby boomers
we all have a voice and it is encourag-
ing to see us uniting around a common
cause.

Equal opportunity?
T
his is a column I wrote more than five years
ago which is just (if not more) pertinent
today.
Over the last 25 years we have seen the future and it is
not a wholesome one. If we so fervently wish for our chil-
dren to grow up in a civilized society, and if we seek to
live in one, lets face facts. It will not happen unless we
dedicate more of ourselves to our children. Amitai
Etzione, Children of the Universe.
In a recent column, David Brooks of The New York
Times wrote about concerns that this nation ignores the
concept of equal opportunity. He refers to a study by
Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam that concluded
that the children of the more afuent and less afuent are
raised in starkly different ways and have different opportu-
nities and the problem is getting worse. In thinking
about those less afuent, he wrote: Virtually all of our
major institutions have failed them family, friends,
church, school and commu-
nity.
And why are so many
children less afuent?
One important reason is the
number who are born to sin-
gle mothers 41 percent
up from 17 percent three
decades ago 4 percent in
1960. According to Child
Trends, a Washington
research group, less than 10
percent of these births are
to college educated women.
For women (and girls) with
high school degrees or less,
the gure is nearly 60 percent. Many of these babies
arrive because of indifference and ignorance or because
their mothers lifestyle is so distorted and unhealthy that,
to them, a pregnancy is just another result of her irrespon-
sibility that will be dealt with later. As Peter Edelman
wrote in his book, So Rich. So Poor: The two biggest
factors in the story of poverty in the last 40 years are the
change in the economy and the signicant increase in the
number of families headed by single mothers.
The less afuent are more likely to have lived with
physical, psychological and/or emotional deprivation and
to have become disheartened and/or cynical. They obvi-
ously give no thought to how their behavior may affect
others, including future offspring (One example of this is
the very sad report on TV recently that informed us of the
great increase in the number of babies born addicted to
painkillers like OxyContin). Then there are those who
have heard from the pope that using contraceptives is a
sin and who have not learned from anyone else that hav-
ing a child that cannot be cared for adequately is a much
greater sin. And add the fact that because so many work-
ing class jobs were decimated, many working class par-
ents are too stressed to have the energy, time or money to
devote to their children. Brooks.
As a result, many children born under such circum-
stances have a couple of strikes against them. Besides the
inability of their parents to support them adequately, the
parents and child are more likely to be malnourished,
compromised by drugs and/or alcohol and chemicals in
their environment.
All major social institutions have an important respon-
sibility to drum into the heads of our youth that it isnt
cool to casually procreate. And they must emphasize the
terric responsibility that raising a child entails. And all
parents must learn that it is their duty to do their best to
give their kids the kind of love and support they need so
they believe in themselves and look optimistically to the
future (That would be their best Christmas gift ever).
Brooks looks at the problem politically: Liberals are
going to have to be willing to champion norms that mar-
riage should come before child raising and be morally
tough about it. Conservatives are going to have to be
willing to accept tax increases or benet cuts so that more
can be spent on the earned income-tax credit and other
programs that benet the working class.
When we deprive children physically, intellectually
and/or emotionally, we are creating dysfunction that will
come back to haunt us. A government focused so strongly
on increasing the advantages of the wealthy and so
obsessed with the military is destined to increase the gap
between the more afuent and less afuent to the
point of severe dysfunction and unrest. The concept of
equal opportunity will evaporate. Our inability or unwill-
ingness to see how our decisions and actions today will
affect tomorrow, plus our cultural worship of power,
wealth and celebrity is the outcome of the collapse of
intelligence, integrity and the antithesis of wisdom.
As Brooks summarized: Political candidates will have
to spend less time trying to exploit class divisions and
more time trying to come up with agendas that address the
problem. Its politically tough to do that, but the alterna-
tive is national suicide.

By Alex Vaiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Big-name companies notched
gains on Wall Street Tuesday,
delivering more records for two of
the major stock indexes.
The Standard & Poors 500
index and the Dow Jones industri-
al average finished at all-time
highs for the second day this
week, while a slide in technology
stocks pulled the Nasdaq lower.
Small-company stocks also
lagged.
Banks and other financial
stocks led the gainers as the
Federal Reserve met to discuss
interest rates. The central bank is
expected to raise rates for the third
time this year on Wednesday,
which allows banks to charge
more to lend money.
Technology stocks declined the
most. Energy stocks also fell as
crude oil prices closed lower.
Bitcoin futures fell on their second
day of trading.
Its another day, another all-
time high, said Brian Nick, chief
investment strategist at Nuveen
Asset Management.
The S&P 500 index rose 4.12
points, or 0. 2 percent, to
2,664.11. The Dow gained 118.77
points, or 0. 5 percent, to
24,504.80. The Nasdaq lost 12.76
points, or 0. 2 percent, to
6,862.32. The Russell 2000 index
of smaller-company stocks fell
3.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,516.12. More stocks fell than
rose on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Even though inflation has
remained low, the Fed has seen a
path to gradually raise rates as the

Tax package would lower top tax rate for wealthy Americans
By Stephen Ohlemacher
and Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Congressional
Republicans on Tuesday rushed toward a deal
on a massive tax package that would reduce
the top tax rate for wealthy Americans to 37
percent and slash the corporate rate to a
level slightly higher than what businesses
and conservatives wanted.
In a flurry of last-minute changes that
could profoundly affect the pocketbooks of
millions of Americans, House and Senate
negotiators agreed to expand a deduction for
state and local taxes to allow individuals to
deduct income taxes as well as property
taxes. The deduction is valuable to residents
in high-tax states like New York, New
Jersey and California.
Negotiators also agreed to set the corpo-
rate income tax rate at 21 percent, said two
congressional aides who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they were not
authorized to publicly discuss private nego-
tiations. Both the House bill and the Senate
bill would have lowered the corporate rate
from 35 percent to 20 percent.
Business and conservative groups lob-
bied hard for the 20 percent corporate rate.
Negotiators agreed to bump it up to 21 per-
cent to help offset revenue losses from
other tax breaks, the aides said.
As the final parameters of the bill took
shape, negotiators agreed to cut the top tax
rate for individuals from 39.6 percent to 37
percent in a windfall for the richest
Americans. The reduction is certain to pro-
vide ammunition for Democrats who com-
plain that the tax package is a massive
giveaway to corporations and the rich.
Under current law, the top tax rate applies
to income above $470,000 for married cou-
ples, though lawmakers are completely
reworking the tax brackets.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who has
previously expressed opposition to reduc-
ing the rate for the wealthiest earners,
acknowledged Tuesday that the negotiators
appear to have agreed on the move. I dont
think lowering the top rate is a good idea,
Collins said.
She didnt threaten to vote against the
final bill, however, if it included a lower
rate, saying Im going to wait and look at
the entire conference report and see what all
the provisions are.
Among the other tax breaks, negotiators
agreed to eliminate the alternative mini-
mum tax for corporations, a big sticking
point for the business community, the aides
said. They also agreed to let homeowners
deduct interest on the first $750,000 of a
new mortgage, down from the current limit
of $1 million.
The GOP goal is to deliver to President
Donald Trump the first major rewrite of the
U.S. tax system in more than 30 years,
pushing into every corner of the American
economy and society. Lawmakers hope to
finalize a bill no later than Friday, vote
next week and deliver the package of steep
tax cuts for corporations and more modest
cuts for families to the presidents desk
before Christmas.
Republican lawmakers were optimistic
Tuesday that a deal was imminent. The total
amount of tax breaks cannot exceed $1.5
trillion over the next decade, under budget
rules adopted by both the House and Senate.
Lawmakers and aides were working to
blend separate tax bills that were passed by
the House and Senate.
The Senates No. 2 Republican, Sen. John
Cornyn of Texas, said an agreement in prin-
ciple on a final package could come as soon
as Tuesday. I think it could and I hope it
is, he said.
Lawmakers said workers could start see-
ing changes in the amount of taxes withheld
from their paychecks early next year.
However, taxpayers wont file their 2018
tax returns until the following year.
Both the House and Senate bills would
scale back the deduction for state and local
taxes, limiting it to $10,000 in property
taxes. California Republicans have pushed
to amend the bill to enable individuals to
deduct state and local income taxes as well
as property taxes.

House and Senate tax bills treat disaster victims unequally

By Nicholas Riccardi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If the House Republican tax bill became
law, victims of hurricanes in Texas and
Florida whove yet to account for all their
losses could deduct them on their 2018
taxes. Not so for victims of the California
wildfires.
If the Senate version prevailed, victims
of all federally declared disasters a cate-
gory that cover victims of both hurricanes
and the wildfires could deduct their loss-
es. But people who lost homes in smaller-
scale disasters couldnt.
Such disparities, seemingly arbitrary,
show how political decisions have helped
shape the tax legislation being crafted by
Republicans, who insist theyre trying to
simplify the tax code, reduce rates and treat
everyone fairly.
I dont know that treating disasters dif-
ferently makes sense as economic policy,
but its understandable as part of the politi-
cal process, said Michael Simkovic, a tax
professor at the University of Southern
California law school. Thats how things
work.
No one is sure which provisions of the
House and Senate bills will end up in the
final reconciled version that Republicans
are working on and hope to finalize as early
as this week. But whatever changes survive
the reconciliation process could have far-
reaching consequences for a vast range of
households, including victims of natural
disasters.
The House bill was written by Rep. Kevin
Brady, the chairman of the tax-writing
Ways and Means committee. His district
adjoins Houston, which was thrashed by
Hurricane Harvey in September. Bradys
provision would end the personal loss
deduction that has been used by taxpayers
who suffer severe losses from fires, floods
or crimes.
Yet the House bill would create an excep-
tion allowing victims of Hurricanes
Harvey, Irma and Maria to use that deduc-
tion in the future if they havent yet totaled
their losses from the storms by the time
they file their 2017 taxes.
If they call out one kind of devastation
over another, that stinks, said Larry
Keyser, whose home was one of nearly
9, 000 buildings destroyed in fires in
Northern California in October as the tax
bill began to move through the House of
Representatives.
The Senate side, that stinks too, added
Keyser, a retired engineer who is struggling
to total all the losses his family suffered.
He doubts he will have determined his total
financial loss by tax time.
Despite Bradys provision, Republicans
have said they are trying to extend the
deduction to California wildfire victims
just as they did to hurricane victims. All of
Californias 53 congressional representa-
tives including House Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy have introduced a bill
that would extend into next year the per-
sonal loss deduction for victims of the
states fires.

A full slate of Peninsula Athletic

Woodside had their chances, most-

Along with the music of the Beach Boys,
Brown took surfing from a quirky hobby to
a fundamental part of American culture.

beach blanket buffoons in the mindless
party movies of the early 1960s.

surfers on a quest for fulfillment an image

Does Derek Jeter have a prayer?
Always a winner as captain of the New York
Yankees, Jeter is now trying to revive the
downtrodden Marlins, and so far he appears
out of his league as a CEO.
Barely two months into the job, he has
been faulted for his handling of the Stanton

to blame for clumsy firings, delegating too

DALLAS J.J. Barea scored 14 of his 16
points in the second half and the Dallas
Mavericks spoiled the season debut of San
Antonio star Kawhi Leonard, beating the
Spurs 95-89 on Tuesday night.
Leonard missed the first 27 games
because of right quadriceps tendinopathy, a
condition that causes pain and weakness in
the knee. He wasnt around in the fourth

Harrison Barnes scored 17 points while

Barea led the Mavericks with six assists,

finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 23 points and 13
rebounds and Rudy Gay scored 21 for the

Steve Phillips said. As a
player, everyone had respect for Derek Jeter
and kind of treated him with kid gloves. The
new role has created a different role for him.
We never saw Derek Jeter beat up like this in
New York.
Part of the issue is that Jeter has taken on a
task that may be impossible trying to
make baseball succeed in South Florida. The
Marlins miserable record and attendance year
after year has raised doubts about whether the
sport belongs in the Sunshine State .
Founding owner Wayne Huizenga drew boos
at the ballpark despite the Marlins winning a
World Series title in 1997. Jeffrey Loria, who
sold the team to Jeters group, became wildly
unpopular even after his Marlins made a story-

Popovich said would be

the first three quarters.
The Spurs called a timeout before subbing
him out the final time, after he had tipped a
loose ball a couple of times to keep an
offensive rebound alive and hit a short
jumper. He had six rebounds, an assist and a
block.
Leonard made his first three shots and
scored six of San Antonios first eight
points.
San Antonio has had a similar minutes
restriction on guard Tony Parker, who
played more than 20 minutes for the first
time in seven games since returning from
surgery for a ruptured quadriceps tendon.
The 35-year-old Parker had six points on
3-of-9 shooting as the Spurs lost for the
first time with him in the lineup. Parker has
skipped two games since returning.
And now its Jeter drawing jeers when he
attended a recent Miami Heat game. He also
sat in a skybox at Monday nights Dolphins-
Patriots game, raising the question: Why was-
nt he at this weeks winter meetings?
I was never planning on attending the win-
ter meetings, Jeter said. Michael Hill is our
president of baseball operations, and that is
his job.
But his absence reinforces the notion hes
trying to distance himself from the decisions
hes making.
Even before Jeters group formally took
over, the Marlins fired Jack McKeon, Jeff
Conine, Andre Dawson and Tony Perez, all
longtime executives and team ambassadors.
There was public backlash, and another when
the Marlins fired popular TV play-by-play
announcer Rich Waltz. More negative head-
lines reported the Marlins fired a scout while
he was in the hospital recovering from cancer

The heavyweight division just got even

Only a few minutes had passed after the news
broke that Tyson Fury was free to box again,
following his long-running dispute with
Britains anti-doping agency, when the man
himself took to Twitter.
Guess whos back?
Fury tweeted.
Next to those words was
a video of him grooving to
tunes inside a car.
It was a novel way for
someone to react to being
found guilty of a doping
offense. Then again, Fury
Tyson Fury is one of a kind.
And thats what makes
his imminent return to the ring subject to
him regaining his boxing license all the
more exciting.
The heavyweight scene has been revived
since Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko in
November 2015 to win the WBA, IBF, and
WBO belts. The Klitschko brothers
Wladimir and Vitali were regarded as bor-
ing, with their dual, decade-long dominance a
turn-off.
Now, the division boasts a new breed of
fighters, champions from three different con-
tinents in Britains Anthony Joshua (WBA
and IBF), American Deontay Wilder (WBC)
and New Zealands Joseph Parker (WBO).
Then theres Fury, back to stir things up
even more.

But now the media and fans have turned on

But the things hes hearing, they can go right

Miamian Alex Rodriguez surges in popular-

Yankees on potential managerial candidates
and earning praise for his work with
prospects.
Meanwhile, South Florida seethes. And
nothing angered Marlins fans like the depar-
ture of Stanton, the NL MVP and major league
home run king.
Jeter took hits for a trade that appeared to
favor his former team, but it should be noted
Stanton first rejected being traded to the
Giants or Cardinals.
Nonetheless, the deal marked the start of the
franchises latest payroll purge. Huizenga and
Loria dismantled, too.
The loudmouth Briton and his cousin
Hughie accepted backdated two-year doping
bans on Tuesday after providing elevated lev-
els of nandrolone in urine samples following
fights in February 2015. Both boxers said
they never knowingly or deliberately com-
mitted any anti-doping rule violation and
were willing to come to a compromise agree-
ment with UK Ant-Doping in what proved a
convoluted, drawn-out case.
The bans were backdated to Dec. 13, 2015,
and expired at midnight on Tuesday.
Fury must get back his license, which was
suspended by the British Boxing Board of
Control last year over separate incidents of
drug use and medical issues, but is now a major
player among the heavyweights.
Soon after his Guess whos back? tweet,
he called out Joshua by writing: Where you at
boy? Im coming for you.
Joshua is likely to fight Parker or Wilder
next, potentially in the summer of 2018, but
in Britain, at least the box office fight
would be Joshua vs. Fury, which would be pro-
moted as the national treasure taking on the
bad boy. Both are unbeaten as professionals
and have contrasting fighting styles.
Next year I will be back doing what I do
best, better than ever and ready to reclaim the
world titles which are rightfully mine, Fury
said in a statement from his promoter. Its
time to get the party started.
Fury will need to shed the pounds, having
bloated up to 350 pounds (nearly 160 kilo-
grams), and has posted videos recently of him
working in the gym. He will also need some
fights to get sharp enough and mentally ready
to handle the likes of Joshua and Parker.

apply to Woodside as well. For as well as the
Dons played in the rst half, the Wildcats
played just as poorly. Eschewing any kind
of possession in the mideld, the Wildcats
were content to win the ball and immediate-
ly push it up to their attackers, who were
well marked by the Aragon back line.
Were not built like that anymore, said
Woodside coach Jose Navarrete, who has
enjoyed a long line of premiere target play-
ers over the last several seasons. Usually
players with good fundamentals will score
goals. We need to improve on that.
Woodsides best rst-half scoring chance
came in the fth minute when Aragon goal-
keeper Nicole Shulman came well off her
line to close down a Wildcat attack.
But Shulmans play left her in no-mans
land as the Wildcats maintained possession.
Juliana Rodriguez chipped a ball into the
box to Kayla Hart, whose header went wide
of the mark.
Aragon did not put a lot of pressure on the
Woodside goal until late in the half and not
surprisingly it was Stokesberry who played
a central role. First, her shot from 30 yards
out went just wide in the 35th minute.
But Stokesberry capitalized on her second
opportunity. The Dons earned their only
corner kick of the rst half in stoppage
time, with Jessica Gutierrez swinging a
cross into the Woodside penalty box. She
found Stokesberry, who was inexplicably front of the goal, her teammates struggled
unmarked and her well-placed header was to get on the end of her passes. Navarrete

LEE
Continued from page 1
Supporters touted his dedication to build-
ing new housing and sending out workers
to clean up dirty streets in a city known for
its entrenched homelessness. Critics said
Lee, a Democrat, catered too much to tech
companies, citing a 2011 tax break he bro-
kered for Twitter as part of a remake of the
citys dilapidated downtown.
Still, many on Tuesday mourned the
citys first Asian-American mayor as a
reluctant politician dedicated to civil serv-
ice who was more comfortable working on
details than on delivering the perfect polit-
ical sound bite. No cause was given for his
death but an autopsy was planned.
He believed in a city where a poor kid
from public housing could become mayor,
acting San Francisco Mayor London Breed
told reporters at a briefing attended by hun-
dreds of city workers and civic leaders.
What mattered most to him always was
helping his fellow San Franciscans, and
occasionally delivering the almost perfect-
ly timed corny joke.
Local celebrities, sports figures, and
national politicians sent condolences.

she and Lee bonded over their shared expe-
rience of growing up in public housing.
He was from the dawn of his career an
advocate for the powerless, Breed told
reporters and a crowd of several hundred
city workers who gathered to honor Lee in
City Hall.
Breed, like Lee a Democrat, graduated
from a San Francisco public high school
and earned a bachelors degree from the
University of California, Davis and a mas-
LOCAL
California Gov. Jerry Brown, attending a
climate change conference in Paris, called
Lee a gentleman.
Very honest, very human, he was well
liked by people who knew him, Brown
said. People are shocked and surprised. My
sympathies go out to his family and all the
people of San Francisco.
Former San Francisco Mayor Willie
Brown and the late Chinatown political
power broker Rose Pak talked Lee into fill-
ing out the rest of former Mayor Gavin
Newsoms term when he was elected
Californias lieutenant governor in 2010.
Lee, city administrator at the time, said
he had no interest in taking on the role per-
manently. But he changed his mind and won
a four-year term in 2011, beating 15 other
contenders. He was re-elected in 2015,
beating out five others.
Willie Brown said Lee showed that non-
typical politicians could win elective
office.
At all times it was for the love of the
city, he said, it was not self.
The former mayor also praised Lee as the
man who stepped up and made it possible
for Silicon Valley to almost relocate to our
city, a change not cheered by San
Franciscos more politically progressive
faction.
Members of that faction railed against
ters degree in public administration from
the University of San Francisco.
She got her start in politics as an intern
in the citys housing department during the
tenure of Mayor Willie Brown that ended in
2004. Brown has not held public office
since then but continues to exert consider-
able influence on city politics, and helped
elect Lee.
Nationally, Breeds political positions
on issues like funding housing projects for
the homeless and support for marijuana
legalization are viewed as solidly liberal.
But within the insular politics of San
Francisco, she has had to defend her cre-
dentials from attacks from the left that she
is a moderate and beholden to Brown, Lee
and other traditional Democrats.
his perceived lenience with vacation-stay
rental platform Airbnb, which they say has
exacerbated San Franciscos already tight
housing market. Lee vetoed a measure
approved by city officials to crack down on
short-term rental stays.
When Lee took office in January 2011,
Zillow reported the median home value in
San Francisco was just over $656,000. The
figure has nearly doubled since then. The
percentage of households earning at least
$100,000 increased from 38 percent in
2011 to 45 percent in 2016, according to
the American Community Survey of the
U.S. Census Bureau.
San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen
said she did not agree with Lee on corporate
issues but was surprised to develop a great
working relationship with him. They
worked to open a new homeless center in
her district last summer.
He got the urgency of the issue and was
tough in making solutions happen quick-
ly, she said.
Lee battled with fellow Democrats on
development issues, but was a staunch sup-
porter of many of the liberal policies most
associated with San Francisco including
higher minimum wages, marriage equality
and sanctuary status for those living in the
country illegally.
He reiterated his support for sanctuary

who had been repeatedly deported was
acquitted of murder in the 2015 killing of
Kate Steinle in a case that sparked a nation-
al debate over illegal immigration.
President Donald Trump repeatedly cited the
case during his presidential campaign.
Edwin Mah Lee was born May 5, 1952, in

We learn modesty. We learn sacrifice. We
learn to be humble from people who may
have even less. But we learn how to fight
and survive at the same time, Lee said in an
interview with KTVU-TV in February.
Lee graduated from Bowdoin College in
1974 and from the University of
California, Berkeley law school in 1978.
He worked as a housing activist and civil

Her blunt-speaking ways have led to
other political controversies, especially
on Twitter where she enraged critics during
her first months serving as a supervisor. At
one point, she blamed some bicyclists for
causing road safety problems.
After deleting her Twitter account for
several months, Breed worked to soften her
image and by 2015 lined up enough board
votes to win the job leading the board.
Supervisor Malia Cohen nominated her
for board president, an influential position
that controls committee assignments and
the boards weekly agenda, saying she had
seen Breed mature in the two years since
her election.

SCHOOL
Continued from page 1
continuation high school from its cur-
rent placement on the Crestmoor High
School campus in San Bruno and clos-
er to the homes of most students.
Superintendent Kevin Skelly said he
believes the most recent proposal is in
the best interest of the officials, as
well as students.
When we look at this whole thing,
I think its a great location for our kids
and the best use of our resources, he
said.
At the meeting, trustees are charged
with giving a green light to entering
negotiations with the property owner
near the Burlingame Bayfront.
Officials have as much as $20 million
in bond money to purchase and build a
new school at the 1-acre property cur-
rently home to an empty commercial
building, said Skelly. Officials are
offering $5.6 million to buy the prop-
erty.
Should the deal ultimately be
approved, moving the continuation
school could give way to a shuffle of
district properties creating an opportu-
nity for development of teacher hous-
ing on Mills High School.
Officials have previously discussed
selling the Crestmoor property to
finance a workforce residential devel-

cede and raised the possibility of a
recount during a brief appearance at a
somber campaign party in
Montgomery.
Its not over, Moore said. He
added, We know that God is still in
control.
From the White House, Trump tweet-
ed his congratulations to Jones on a
hard-fought victory but added
pointedly that the Republicans will
have another shot at this seat in a very
short period of time. It never ends!
Jones takes over the seat previously
held by Attorney General Jeff
Sessions. The term expires in January
of 2021.
The victory by Jones, a former U.S.
attorney best known for prosecuting
two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible
for Birminghams infamous 1963
church bombing, narrows the GOP
advantage in the U.S. Senate to 51-49.
That imperils already-uncertain
Republican tax, budget and health
proposals and injects tremendous
energy into the Democratic Partys
early push to reclaim House and Senate
majorities in 2018.
Still, many Washington

opment at the Millbrae campus, but
the discussion was paused following
difficulties find an appropriate home
for Peninsula.
Skelly said he anticipates similar
conversations could start again down
the road but, for now, officials are
committed solely to moving the con-
tinuation school.
Once this gets consummated, well
start talking about those other issues,
he said.
Central to the desire to move contin-
uation students off the San Bruno cam-
pus is the long, onerous bus ride many
must take each day. Officials have
questioned the suitability of an isolat-
ed school for students who already face
educational hurdles.
Skelly added beyond the enhanced
accessibility of the proposed new site,
he believes it could work well with the
interest of Peninsula students who
work after school.
The site is in close proximity to
many Burlingame hotels, as well as a
variety of industrial uses which could
suit the desire or need for students
seeking employment, he said.
There are a lot of jobs that are avail-
able for kids if they wanted to work in
the afternoon, he said.
The property could serve a dual pur-
pose in hosting satellite adult educa-
tion and language support programs as
well, he suggested. There is sufficient
space to build 10 classrooms, accom-
Republicans viewed the defeat of
Moore as perhaps the best outcome for
the party nationally despite the short-
term sting. The fiery Christian con-
servatives positions have alienated
women, racial minorities, gays and
Muslims in addition to the multiple
allegations that he was guilty of sexu-
al misconduct with teens, one only
14, when he was in his 30s.
Short-term pain, long-term gain,
former Minnesota Sen. Norm
Coleman, a Republican, tweeted.
Roy Moore and Steve Bannon losing
tonight is big win for the GOP. ...
Moore would have buried GOP in
2018.
A number of Republicans declined to
support Moore, including Alabamas
long-serving Sen. Richard Shelby.
But Trump lent his name and the
national GOPs resources to Moores
campaign in recent days.
Had Moore won, the GOP would
have been saddled with a colleague
accused of sordid conduct as
Republicans nationwide struggle with
Trumps historically low popularity.
Senate leaders had promised that
Moore would have faced an immediate
ethics investigation.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have
expressed hopes of scheduling a vote
on their tax legislation before Jones
is sworn in, but lawmakers are still
struggling to devise a compromise

modating 225 students, according to a
district report.
Skelly added the need for relocating
Peninsula is compounded by the
schools shrinking enrollment, as the
population has dwindled from about
400 students to as few as 175 students
in recent years.
Beyond the issues tied to
Crestmoors isolation, Skelly sug-
gested the sweeping campus is not
being used to the peak of its potential
by serving a school with a dwindling
amount of students.
Were glad to have a large piece of
property in this area, he said, of the
Crestmoor site, which was closed in
1980 as a comprehensive school. Its
a great asset to this district. We owe it
to taxpayers to use that resource well.
Should the board grant approval to
move ahead in pursuit of the
Burlingame property, Skelly suggest-
ed the new school could be ready for
students in the 2019-2020 school
year, assuming the deal moves ahead as
expected.
All things considered, Skelly said he
is confident the identified property is
the most suitable for a relocation of
the continuation high school.
I think this will meet our needs
very, very well, he said.

bill to bridge the divide between the
House and Senate legislation that can
win majority support in both cham-
bers.
The Republican loss also gives
Democrats a clearer path to a Senate
majority in 2018 albeit a narrow
one in an election cycle where
Democrats are far more optimistic
about seizing control of the House of
Representatives.
Ultimately, Tuesdays contest came
down to which side better motivated
its supporters to vote. Alabama
Secretary of State John Merrill said
turnout likely would not exceed 25
percent of registered voters.
Jones successfully fought to cobble
together an unlikely coalition of
African-Americans, liberal whites and
moderate Republicans.
He had his strongest support across
Alabamas black belt, named for the
color of its soil, and in the larger
urban areas, including Montgomery,
Birmingham, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and
Huntsville. Turnout in those areas,
which features a large African-
American population, also ran higher
than in some of the more heavily
Republican parts of the state.
At his election night headquarters,
stunned supporters erupted in celebra-
tion as news of his victory was
announced. Many danced to the song

LANES
Continued from page 1
Attendees were primarily inquisitive with
few expressing concerns about the $534
million proposal to create a new lane of
traffic in each direction for carpoolers and
those willing to pay. Caltrans officials were
pleased to announce theyre looking to fast
track the project after engineering a design
that will primarily stay within the states
existing right-of-way and not require acqui-
sition of any homes or businesses.
The local project aims to create a new lane
in each direction from Whipple Avenue in
Redwood City to Interstate 380 in San
Bruno, while connecting to proposals in
the north and south. The Valley
Transportation Agency plans to convert its
existing carpool lanes into toll lanes
stretching into Santa Clara County, while a
new proposal includes a managed lane alter-
native from Interstate 380 north into San
Francisco.
This is a very, very important project
not only for the Peninsula, but for the Bay
Area, said Nidal Tuqan, a district division
chief with Caltrans District 4.
The gathering was the second public
meeting in as many weeks and hosted as
part of the drafting of the environmental
document, on which comments will be
accepted through Jan. 19.
The plan includes connecting existing

auxiliary lanes to create a new lane while
squeezing every possible inch of available
space. The far left lane in each direction
would then be converted into a managed
lane with commensurate signs and real-time
surveillance equipment installed.
The lanes would be free for carpoolers with
three or more passengers as well as shuttles
and buses. It would be managed in real time
with the price for others fluctuating based on
demand and paid through FasTrak.
Carpoolers with two passengers and clean
air vehicles would be offered a discount,
although final prices have yet to be set.
A functioning managed lane has speeds
at least 45 mph and accommodate about
1,600 vehicles an hour. When speeds slow
down, solo drivers could be prevented from
using it. With increased traffic projections
in the coming decades, a no-build alterna-
tive would have drivers spending just under
an hour to traverse the 14-mile segment.
Building the project would have it take
about 56 minutes in the general purpose
lane and 15 minutes in the express lane,
according to Caltrans.
Opponents have previously expressed
concerns the proposal will benefit wealthy
drivers who can afford to pay to use the fast
lane, or that the additional space would be
better utilized by extending popular mass
transit such as BART along Highway 101.
Some raised concerns about the proposal
aligning with other projects, such as pro-
posed interchange improvements and better
on- as well as off-ramps.
