Shining a light on Redwood City

Owners of Fox Theatre breathe new life into Deadwood City
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Eric and Lori Lochtefeld in front

of the Fox Theatre in downtown
Redwood City.
Fox Theatre co-owners Eric and

Lori Lochtefeld have an eye for
spotting potential in unlikely
places.
Back [in 2007-08], [Redwood
City] still had the second-worst
moniker in the country behind
Murder City. It was called
Deadwood City, said Eric
Lochtefeld. We [thought] wow,
as an entrepreneur, this place
could be exciting.
Ever since the couple turned
their attention toward the city,

they have taken bets on Redwood
Citys downtown. In doing so,
have invited the surrounding area
to do so as well.
The two share an entrepreneurial
mindset. Prior to purchasing the
Fox together, both were running
their own businesses. Lori
Lochtefeld, 36, a San Francisco
native, was managing Lacewell
Realty and Lacewell Insurance,
two companies she started after
working as a stockbroker and as a
financial advisor. Originally from
Menlo Park, Eric Lochtefeld, 46,
started his career in the music and

entertainment industry, creating a
company that would raise funds
and awareness for large concert
events such as the Warped Tour. He
eventually started Dream Careers,
a global internship company
whose growth forced it to relocate
in the Bay Area several times
before settling in Redwood City in
2007.
We chose Redwood City for two
reasons. There was a theater in the
downtown. Ive always loved old,
historic theaters. I used to have
pictures all over my bedroom wall
of theaters from all over the

world, said Eric Lochtefeld.
For the Lochtefelds, Redwood
Citys low rents, big office spaces
and multi-cultural restaurants at
the time signaled another compelling factor: a city with potential.
For the first six months of
Dream Careers new location, Eric
Lochtefeld commuted to Redwood
City from the couples apartment
in San Francisco.

The picturesque Romeo Pier at Pillar Point Harbor north of Half Moon Bay is slated to be demolished.
Teardown of iconic pier approved

Harbor District looks to remove dilapidated structure
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An iconic, but dilapidated, piece

of Pillar Point Harbors history is
slated to be demolished as officials consider how to safety
remove Romeo Pier before it falls
into the ocean.
State officials recently gave the
San Mateo County Harbor District
the green light to begin the arduous process of removing the structure that once hosted bustling
fishing activities before it fell
into disuse in the 1980s.
Although the visually-striking
structure jetting out from the
beach just south of Mavericks is a

picturesque part of the harbor, its
age and years of neglect are apparent as paint peels from unstable
wood buildings lining the tip of
the pier.
One the one hand, its sad to
lose a piece of history like that.
But on the other hand, its long
overdue. Its been falling apart and
decaying, said Tom Mattusch,
president of the Harbor District
Board of Commissioners. From a
safety standpoint, it will be good
to finally get that out of the water
entirely before it starts collapsing
and causing damage in the harbor.
The once privately-owned pier
was built in the 1940s before it

was sold to the district around
1996. It officially closed in 1998
with it now serving as little more
than a quaint piece of history.
Concerned by the potential for the
structure to disintegrate either
polluting the water or potentially
injuring someone that happens to
be swimming nearby the district opted to demolish the pier.
After two years of working with
the
California
Coastal
Commission,
the
district
announced this week that the state
agency approved necessary permits

A long-awaited as well as frequently delayed residential and

Centennial Village was proposed nearly one decade ago to
redevelop a former shopping center into 284 residential rental
units, a Safeway grocery store, as
well as nearly 200,000 square feet

workers clear the way for Wheeler Plazas

The buildings located at 1245 San Carlos
Ave. and 1249 San Carlos Ave. are almost
completely demolished. Once the area is
clear, crews are expected to level the ground
and continue work on utility undergrounding in preparation for an underground parking garage, according to San Carlos

The former Foodville building at 616
Laurel St. is currently being razed to make
way for a temporary parking lot to help
manage changes in parking availability as
the project moves forward. According to
San Carlos Project Manager Dolores
Montenegro, the temporary lot is expected
to be completed at the end of January and
will open 50 valet-assisted parking spots.
Approved by the City Council in 2015,
the proposal to redevelop the 2.65-acre area
rst came before the council nearly 20 years
ago. The mixed-use development will feature 109 condominiums for sale and 10,000
square feet of new retail space. The project
is also expected to increase public parking
spaces by 65 with the development of a
two-level public parking structure containing 252 public spaces.
The parking garage will be open for public use by the end of 2017, according to
Costa Sanders. Construction will then start

An early morning head on collision in

including that of a 14-year-old boy, according to police.
Officers responded at 12:28 a.m., Sunday,
Dec. 25, to a report of a major collision at

Expressway. For an unknown reason, the
Chevy crossed into the opposite lanes of
traffic, colliding head on into a silver 2004
Lexus, according to police.
The Lexus, which was being driven by a
man, was also carrying the man's wife and
their 14-year-old son.
All four victims were taken to local hospitals, police said.The driver of the Lexus
and his wife both suffered injuries not considered life-threatening, according to
police.
The 14-year-old boy and the 25-year-old
driver were both pronounced dead a short
while later. Their identities have not been
released.

New laws bump up minimum wage, tighten gun rules

By Juliet Williams

weigh 40 or more pounds or are 40 or more
inches tall under AB53 by Assemblywoman
Cristina Garcia, D-Bell Gardens.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO A higher minimum

wage, a ban on using Redskins as the
name of a school team or mascot, and new
restrictions on assault weapons are among
the latest California laws taking effect with
the new year:
EPIPENS
Businesses can stock EpiPens used to
treat people undergoing life-threatening
allergic reactions under AB1386, which
allows pharmacies to dispense the devices
to colleges, private businesses and other
venues that have a plan in place for using
them. Gov. Jerry Brown said he signed the
bill because the move has the potential to
save lives. However, he called out EpiPen
manufacturer Mylan for what he termed
rapacious corporate behavior by rapidly
raising prices.
MINIMUM WAGE
Californias minimum wage will increase
from $10 an hour to $10.50 for businesses
with 26 or more employees under SB3 by
Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco. It will
eventually rise to $15 an hour in 2022. The
law delays the increases by one year for
smaller employers.
BUILDING SAFETY
ASSAULT WEAPONS
Lawmakers passed a package of bills to
strengthen Californias already tough gun
laws then voters reinforced them by passing even more measures. People who own
magazines that hold more than 10 rounds
will be required to give them up starting
Jan. 1. Buyers must undergo a background
check before purchasing ammunition and
will be barred from buying new weapons
that have a device known as a bullet button.
Gun makers developed bullet buttons to
get around Californias assault weapons
ban, which prohibited new ries with magazines that can be detached without the aid
of tools. A bullet button allows a shooter to
quickly dislodge the magazine using the tip
of a bullet.
HANDGUN STORAGE
Law enforcement ofcers will be required
to follow the same rules as civilians by
securely storing handguns in a lockbox out
of plain view or in the trunk if the weapons

are left in an unattended vehicle. SB 869 by
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, closed a legal
loophole that had exempted authorities and
concealed weapons permit holders from
those rules. The move came after stolen
guns were used in high-prole crimes.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Sexually assaulting an unconscious or
severely intoxicated person will become a
crime ineligible for probation a change
prompted when former Stanford University
swimmer Brock Turner was given a sixmonth jail sentence for assaulting an
unconscious woman. AB2888 claries that
a victim cannot consent to sex while
unconscious or incapacitated by drugs,
alcohol or medication.
TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

Add using trafc apps or updating your
Instagram account to the list of things you

cannot do while driving. AB1785 by
Assemblyman Bill Quirk, D-Hayward,
updates Californias existing ban on texting while driving to make it clear that
state law prohibits the use of any hand-held
device in a way that distracts from driving
not just while texting. Motorists can
still use devices that are mounted or voiceoperated and hands-free.
SCHOOL MASCOTS
California public schools will be barred
from using the name Redskins for sports
teams and mascots under AB30 by
Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville.
American Indians regard the term as offensive.
CHILD SAFETY SEATS

Children younger than 2 must be in rear-
The state will attempt to better monitor

potential safety issues in the wake of a fatal
balcony collapse at a Berkeley apartment
building that killed six young people in June
2015. SB465 by Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, requires better information-sharing
between state and local agencies about contractors, convictions and legal settlements.
A working group will have one year to decide
whether changes are needed to state building
codes after several structure failures.
RIGHT-TO-TRY
Terminally ill California patients will be
allowed to use experimental drugs that do
not yet have full regulatory approval under
AB1668 by Assemblyman Ian Calderon,
D-Whittier. It authorizes but does not
require health plans to cover investigational drugs and protects physicians from
disciplinary action if they recommend
them when other treatment options have
been exhausted.
Californians among $1M dead zone contest finalists

NEW ORLEANS Teams from

Australia, New York and California are
among
five finalists
in Tulane
Universitys $1 million contest to find
ways to fight dead zones where water
holds too little oxygen to support life.
There are hundreds of such areas worldwide, including one that forms each summer off Louisianas coast.
Two teams from Illinois will join the
others in testing their ideas on a farm in
northeast Louisiana as phase 2 of the Dead
Zone Challenge, also called the Nitrogen
Reduction Challenge, the university said
in a news release.
The contest is aimed at finding ways to
keep fertilizer in the ground, so they dont
get into rivers. Scientists say that agricultural nitrogen and phosphorus carried

Most of the Dakotas and southwest

snow later in the day when temperatures
fell, according to National Weather

Between the ice and snow, and winds
howling like crazy, there will be nothing

In 2008, the couple fell in love with a

as they could. The relocation immersed

Right around [2010-11], I learned that
the Fox Theatre had been foreclosed on.
And I literally sprinted down the street,
three blocks, to talk to the owner, said
Eric Lochtefeld.
At the time, the theater was showing
some 40 performances a year in a downtown whose streets emptied before 8 p.m.
on weekend nights. For the Lochtefelds,
the theater presented a wildly exciting
opportunity for them to grow as entrepreneurs and share Erics passion for music

San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson
said officials favored gathering more information on the amendments due to concerns
they could worsen parking problems in a
city already struggling to accommodate
demand.
She said though officials are focused on
combating the escalating cost of living
locally, planning commissioners want to
assure the quality of life for existing residents is maintained in the process.
We already have very heavily parkingimpacted neighborhoods and the concern is
managing that, she said. While certainly

savings to purchase the Fox out of foreclosure in 2011 for $6 million, taking out a
mortgage of $5 million.
But what seemed like a dream come true
required both parties to leverage their
strengths and learn new skills.
We quickly realized from day one, if we
dont divide up tasks here and stay in our
lanes, this is going to be difficult, he
said.
With a background in sales, Lori
Lochtefeld more naturally took the reins
on public shows, managing the selection,
marketing and operations for each show.
Eric Lochtefeld applied his skills to private events and financial and property
management. Between renovating the historic property and managing a schedule
filled with 200-300 shows each year, the
two found themselves developing competencies in unexpected areas. Lori took
graphic design classes to create posters for
shows, and Eric became well-versed in historical restoration.
But even with their best efforts, the couple quickly realized that their business was
only as promising as the city that surrounded the Fox. In the first four months
after they reopened Club Fox, they found
they had more staff than patrons.
Lori and I said, Oh boy, weve bought
this beautiful theater. Now what? said
Eric Lochtefeld. We were really worried
that the downtown wasnt going to be
vibrant enough to sustain the theater.

Fortunately, the Foxs role as a prime
event venue propelled the couple into the
community. From working at the box
office to working with city staff on
Courthouse Square events just outside the
theater, invitations to civic events, meetings and committees poured in.
We made a lot of friends. Over time, we
started to get asked for assistance. And we
tended to say yes, said Eric Lochtefeld.
One of the Lochtefelds first community
projects was developing a funding model
for the Music on the Square concert series
on Friday nights. Eric Lochtefeld applied
his fundraising background to the project,
raising $75,000 of the $90,000 in costs in
the first year.
Since then, they have partnered with the
Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department to purchase a large tent covering Courthouse Square, creating a venue for
large, outdoor events. They have also
worked with the San Mateo County History
Museum and neighboring businesses to
provide affordable valet parking and alleviate parking constraints. As they pitched
in, they got to know others working to
bring life to Redwood City as well.
We really loved the people who we got
to work with, said Eric Lochtefeld. We
got to know City Council members and
city staff because we worked together.
In building these partnerships, the
Lochtefelds have seen firsthand the growing vibrancy that draws tens of thousands
of visitors to Courthouse Square for Friday
concerts, and tech giants like Google to
host their science fairs in the town center.
In the five years theyve owned the Fox,
the Lochtefelds have even seen what was
previously known as Deadwood City
catch the eye of the president.
In May of 2012, the president, at Loris
indirect request, stopped by the Fox for a
fundraiser that raised $1.5 million.
I literally emailed the DNC and said, I
know the president stops at Atherton and
San Francisco. Maybe he could stop at the
Fox Theatre in Redwood City and we could
do a fundraiser around here for him, she
said.
That was the best moment of all time.
We got five minutes with him backstage,
said Eric Lochtefeld.
And if they hadnt foreseen just how
much ground they would cover when they
purchased the Fox five years ago, the
Lochtefelds are fairly certain about their
next steps.
Family. Weve been so busy building
our businesses. Now, its like, OK, its
time to start a family, said Lori

wont last long. I say, watch me.
encourage affordable housing and dealing

with increasing the supply.
Jackson said she expects the issue will
return before the Planning Commission in a
couple weeks, before eventually going onto
the City Council for a final decision.
A primary concern in San Bruno is the proposed amendment to the citys code doing
away with the requirement to supply an additional parking space for secondary structures within one-half mile of a public transportation stop, said Jackson.
Because the city has separate Bay Area
Rapid Transit and Caltrain stations, as well
as a network of bus routes, Jackson said the
opportunity is intensified for the loosened
parking regulations to have a widespread
effect throughout many residential neighborhoods.
What this legislation is doing with
relaxed parking standards is a concern for us
because it will make it even more difficult to
manage the impact of parking in impacted
neighborhoods, she said. So well be
watching that pretty closely.

There is some incentive to moving ahead
with the proposal in a timely fashion, she
said, as the issue was raised following Gov.
Jerry Brown recently signing laws designed
to streamline the approval process for building affordable housing by removing local
restrictions on establishment of accessory
dwellings.
The state law is intending to assist in
increasing affordable housing and making it
easier to establish secondary units, said
Jackson.
Under Browns action, city officials and
local agencies should approve easing regulations on construction of smaller units, or
general state mandates will take effect in
early 2017. Such units are typically more
affordable because they are independent living facilities commonly offering fewer
amenities than the propertys main residence.
There is a little bit of urgency, said
Jackson. Im expecting it will go back to
the commission at the next meeting and will

likely go to the council in February.
The discussion regarding secondary units
in San Bruno comes months after Belmont
approved taking a similar step to also
loosen regulations. Other cities are also discussing regulations and county officials
have identified construction of in-law units
as a potentially effective means of addressing the regional affordability crisis.
Also under the proposed amendments to
the citys code for secondary units, the structures will be allowed to 750 square feet,
which is 110 square feet larger than the current maximum. The proposal also adds a new
set of regulations for development of junior
units, which are smaller than secondary
units, exceeding no more than 500 square
feet which does not include a bathroom.
Considering the ways parking problems
stand to be compounded by the proposed
amendments, Jackson said she felt it was
reasonable officials elected to take more
time examining the issue.

Pipeline uncertainty illustrates broader concerns for tribes

By Mary Hudetz
For hundreds of protesters, it was cause to

cheer when the Obama administration this
month declined to issue an easement for the
Dakota Access pipelines nal segment. But
that elation was dampened by the uncertainty of what comes next: a Donald Trump-led
White House that might be far less attuned to
issues affecting Native Americans.
With Trump coming into ofce, you just
cant celebrate, said Laundi Germaine
Keepseagle, who is 28 and from the
Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, where
the demonstrators have been camped out
near the North Dakota-South Dakota border.
Anxiety over the 1,200-mile pipeline
illustrates a broader uncertainty over how
tribes will fare under Trump following what
many in Indian Country consider a landmark eight years.
President Barack Obama has won accolades among Native Americans for breaking
through a gridlock of inaction on tribal
issues and for putting a spotlight on their
concerns with yearly

meetings with tribal leaders.
Under his administration, lawmakers cemented a tribal health care law
that includes more preventive care and mental
health resources and
addresses recruiting and
Donald Trump retaining
physicians
throughout
Indian
Country.
The Interior Department restored tribal
homelands by placing more than 500,000
acres under tribes control more than
any other recent administration while
the Justice Department charted a process
approved by Congress for tribes to prosecute and sentence more cases involving
non-Native Americans who assault Native
American women. Before Obama, a gap in
the laws allowed for such crimes to go
unpunished.
In addition, the federal government settled decades-old lawsuits involving Native
Americans, including class-action cases
over the governments

mismanagement of royalties for oil, gas, timber and grazing leases
and its discrimination
against tribal members
seeking farm loans.
In
my
opinion,
President Obama has
Barack Obama been the greatest president in dealing with
Native Americans, said Brian Cladoosby,
chairman of the Swinomish Tribe north of
Seattle and president of the nonpartisan
National Congress of American Indians,
based in Washington, D.C. The last eight
years give us hope going forward with the
relationships we have on both sides of the
aisle.
Trump, meanwhile, rarely acknowledged
Native Americans during his campaign and
hasnt publicly outlined how he would
improve or manage the United States
longstanding relationships with tribes.
His Interior secretary pick, Republican
Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana, sponsored
legislation that he says would have given
tribes more control over coal and other

fossil fuel development on their lands.
But some of Trumps biggest campaign
pledges including repealing health care
legislation and building a wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border would collide with
tribal interests.
In Arizona, Tohono Oodham Nation
leaders have vowed to oppose any plans
for a wall along the 75-mile portion of
the border that runs parallel to their
reservation. And the nonprofit National
Indian Health Board in Washington says
its aiming to work with lawmakers to
en s ure t h e In di an
Heal t h
Care
Improvement Act remains intact.
The law, which guarantees funding for
care through the federal Indian Health
Services agency, was embedded in
Obamas health care overhaul after consultation with tribes.
The governments role figures prominently in Native Americans daily lives
because treaties and other binding agreements often require the U. S. to manage
tribal health care, law enforcement and
education.
Anti-refugee sentiment from election spills over to states

By Matt Volz
HELENA, Mont. The push to restrict

refugee resettlements and immigration in
the U.S. that figured so prominently in
Donald Trumps election is now headed to
states that are preparing to convene their
legislative sessions early next year, immigration advocates said.
In Montana, which took in just nine
refugee families from January to early
December, about a dozen bill requests related to refugees, immigration and terrorism
have been filed ahead of next months session. The measures include requiring reset-
tlement agencies to carry insurance that

would defray the cost of prosecuting
refugees who commit violent crimes and
allowing towns and cities to request a
moratorium on resettlements in their communities.
Refugee rights advocates say those measures are a sign of what is to come as the
anti-refugee rhetoric that featured prominently in the presidential election spills
over to statehouses and local governments.
Its pretty widely known that this is
going to be a hard year for those of us who
are seeking to protect the rights of
refugees and immigrants, said S.K. Rossi,
advocacy and policy director for the ACLU

The president-elect campaigned on
building a border wall with Mexico to stop
illegal immigration, deporting immigrants who are in the nation illegally and
halting the resettlement of refugees to
strengthen the federal program that vets
them.
Some down-ticket conservative candidates took Trumps cue and integrated the
anti-refugee platform into their campaigns. Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, for
example, spoke multiple times about the
possibility of child terrorists slipping
into the U.S.
Empowered by the issues prominence,
anti-immigrant groups have state and local

governments in their sights as targets to
push restrictive measures in addition to
whatever changes may happen at the federal level, said Michele McKenzie, deputy

That would lead to further manipulation
of the deeply visceral fear of newcomers to

Russian jet crashes in Black Sea, 92 aboard believed dead

in Russia and worldwide. The
plane that crashed was built in
1983, and underwent factory
check-ups and maintenance in
2014 and earlier this year, according to the Defense Ministry.
Senior Russian lawmakers had
ruled out a terror attack, arguing
that the military plane was tightly
secured. But Sokolov, the minister
overseeing the rescue efforts in
Sochi, said investigators are considering all possibilities.
Some experts noted that the
crews failure to report a malfunction pointed at a possible terror
attack.
Possible malfunctions ... certainly wouldnt have prevented
the crew from reporting them,
Vitaly Andreyev, a former senior
Russian air trafc controller, told
RIA Novosti, adding that it points
at an external impact.
Russian planes have been
brought down previously by terror
attacks.
In October 2015, a Russian passenger plane carrying mostly
Russian tourists back from vacation in Egypt was brought down
by a bomb over the Sinai, killing
all 224 people aboard. Ofcials
said the explosive device was
planted in the planes luggage
compartment. The local afliate
of the Islamic State group claimed
responsibility.

twin attacks, which happened on
the same day.
The Russian military has repeatedly own groups of Russian
singers and artists to perform at
Hemeimeem, which serves as the
main hub for the Russian air campaign in Syria. New Years is the
main holiday for most Russians.
The passenger list for the Sochi
plane released by the Defense
Ministry included 64 members of
the Alexandrov Ensemble, including its leader, Valery Khalilov.
The ensemble, often referred to as
the Red Army choir, is the ofcial
choir of the Russian military and
also includes a band and a dance
company. The choir sang Get

Lucky at the opening of the 2014
Winter Olympic Games that
Russia hosted in Sochi, becoming
an instant online sensation.
The damage to the choir was
reported to be extensive. Viktor

SOCHI, Russia Backed by

ships, helicopters and drones,
Russian rescue teams searched for
victims in the Black Sea after a
Russian plane carrying 92 people
to Syria crashed Sunday shortly
after takeoff from Sochi.
Investigators said they are looking into every possible cause for
the crash, including a terror
attack.
All 84 passengers and eight
crew members on board the Tu-154
plane operated by the Russian military are believed to have died
when it fell into the sea two minutes after taking off in good
weather from the southern Russian
city. Emergency crews found fragments of the plane about 1.5 kilometers (less than one mile) from
shore. By Sunday afternoon, rescue teams had already recovered 10
bodies.
Asked if a terror attack was a
possibility, Transport Minister
Maxim Sokolov said in Sochi that
investigators were looking into
every possible reason.
The plane belonged to the
Defense Ministry and was taking
its world famous army choir, the
Alexandrov Ensemble, to a New
Years concert at Hemeimeem air
base in Syrias coastal province of
Latakia. Those on board also
included nine Russian journalists
Palm Dr
and a Russian doctor famous for

her work in war zones.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin went on television to declare
Monday a nationwide day of
mourning.
We will conduct a thorough
investigation into the reasons and
will do everything to support the
victims families, Putin said.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry
Medvedev described the crash as a
terrible tragedy.
More than 3, 000 people
including dozens of divers
worked from 27 ships and several
helicopters to search the crash
site, according to the Defense
Ministry. Drones were also own
over to help spot bodies and
debris. About 100 more divers
were being own in from naval
facilities across Russia, and powerful spotlights were brought in so
the search could continue around
the clock.
Magomed Tolboyev, a decorated Russian test pilot, said
the circumstances of the crash
indicated that all on board had
died.
There is no chance to survive
in such situation, he said, according to the Interfax news agency.

State tax overhaul

Other voices
The Fresno Bee
onald Trump and the

Republican-controlled
Congress will start the new
year by trying to make good on their
promise to cut taxes and that
should prompt Gov. Jerry Brown and
legislators to contemplate the state
tax system to ensure Californians
arent on the hook for more than their
fair share.
The task wont be simple. Voters
approved Proposition 55, which
locks in a state income tax rate of
13.3 percent for the wealthiest
Californians, the nations highest.
That and other voter-approved tax
measures could limit legislators ability to answer whatever the new administration does.
Sen. Bob Hertzberg, a Los Angeles
Democrat, has been working on the
notion of lowering sales and income
tax rates while expanding taxes on
consumption of legal services,
accounting and entertainment, among
other services. Californias economy
increasingly is based on services,
giving the idea, which would require
voter approval, some appeal.
As part of any tax discussion, state
policymakers should look for ways
that assist Californians who work for
low pay, and people who aspire to be
working in good, high-wage jobs.
Brown signed legislation two years
ago creating an earned-income tax
credit for low-wage workers.

Californias version is similar to a
federal earned-income tax credit,
though less generous. Under the state
credit, people who earn $13,800 or
less can get rebates of hundreds or
thousands of dollars, depending on
the size of their families.
Almost 400,000 workers claimed
the credit in 2016. But to qualify,
they need to be employed. At a minimum, lawmakers should expand the
state credit to include people who are
self-employed, an acknowledgment
that people who go from one gig to
the next make up an ever larger segment of the workforce.
Another tax break worth expanding
assuming theres money is one
that exempts green technology manufacturers from having to pay sales
taxes on manufacturing equipment.
The credit is intended to help green
entrepreneurs start their businesses,
and hire workers. For now, its capped
at $100 million. Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, introduced a bill last year to lift that cap,
but it stalled. He plans to reintroduce
it in 2017.
Tesla, the high-end Palo Alto-based
electric car manufacturer, has been the
biggest beneficiary, receiving $120
million so far, and a board overseen
by Treasurer John Chiang awarded it
another $47 million last week.
The state bases the awards on a formula that considers benefits to the
environment, overall taxes that would
be paid, and number of workers who
would be employed. By the states
calculation, the $47 million sales tax
exemption on Teslas nearly $1.2 billion in equipment purchases will
result in nearly $7 million in net benefits.
Chiangs aides say they work to
ensure upstart companies have a fair
shot at their share. And thats important. Tesla is able to hire sophisticated consultants and lobbyists. But its
hardly General Motors or Toyota. And
Elon Musks company wasnt always
the player it is now. Few people had
heard of Telsa in 2010 when it moved
into the NUMMI auto factory in
Fremont that was abandoned by GM
and Toyota.
It employs 6,000 people in
Fremont and plans to hire 3,249 more
workers, thanks in part to the sales
tax exemption on robots and other
equipment needed to produce Teslas
new, less expensive Model 3.
Brown and other Democrats who
control Sacramento make much of
their war against climate change.
They need to do more to help ensure
Californians get their piece of the
green economy. This state should be
the center of green manufacturing and
the jobs that come with it. And the
state should use its tax code, wisely,
to help make that happen.

Editor,
I am writing in support of the Millbrae

Millbrae not having their act together.

in 20 years that weve had substantial

Well, its almost 2017 now what I
have witnessed in the last several years
is nothing short of a combination of
stall tactics and ineptitude from the
city in handling the project, including
an overuse of consultants that the
larger community has began to taken

will not only help me by bringing

Additionally, the project itself adds

closer to the BART and Caltrain stations, meaning the residents will have
an easy time getting allaround the Bay

New Years
resolutions
I
ts the day after Christmas and time to stop playing

with your gifts and to prepare your New Years resolutions. But in the year of 2017 with its expected
chaos and uncertainty, our resolutions should be less
about ourselves. Forget the promises to exercise daily, to
forego dessert, to get more sleep and less stress, to take
better care of yourself. Unfortunately 2017 will demand
much more. Our resolutions should deal with how we plan
to save our country. Is our country in danger? It could be.
***
According to a New York Times editorial, if ordinary circumstances prevail, our institutions will most likely muddle
through a Trump presidency. It
is less clear, however, how
democracy would fare in a crisis.
In the event of a war, a major
terrorist attack or large-scale
riots or protests all of which
are entirely possible a president with authoritarian tendencies and institutions that have
come unmoored could pose a
serious threat to American
democracy. We must be vigilant.
The warning signs are real.
Jim Fallows of The
Atlantic agrees. Given the
atrophy of old-line media with their quaint regard for
truth, the addictive strength of social media and their
unprecedented capacity to spread lies, and the cynicism of
modern politics, will we ever be able to accurately match
image with reality? The answer to that question will determine the answer to another: whether this election will be
a dire but survivable challenge to American institutions or
an irreversible step toward something else.
These were written before Trump tweeted and Putin
announced that each country should up its nuclear arsenal.
A reverse from decades of U.S. policy. The end may be
sooner than we think.
***
Despite the dread, the anger, the frustration with whats
coming, this is not the time to disengage, to lament over
a glass of wine or to decide to ignore what is happening,
to shut the door and expect the worse. Our resolutions
should deal with a course of action.
Heres a suggested list for those of us who fear the
potential loss of human and civil rights, the loss of environmental protection, the real conflicts of interest and
possible treasonous activities at the highest level of government; fear that our children and grandchildrens future
is unsafe with an egomaniac at the helm; with someone
whose business interests are more important than the
national interest; with someone who consistently does
not tell the truth. How do you tell your teenager that a vulgar womanizer who cheats on his wives (three to date) and
degrades many others is now president.
1). Do one thing each day to show you care about what
is happening;
2). Become more active in your community. Think of
running for the city council or school board or applying
for a position on a city board and commission;
3). Encourage young people to become involved and not
be discouraged by what they hear and read;
4). Call out fake news when you see or hear it through
Facebook. a letter to the editor or a call to a radio talk show;
5). Read and listen to the other side, Fox News, The
Wall Street Journal, Rush Limbaugh, etc. so you can
counter with the truth;
6). Support organizations fighting for the issues you
care about, Save the Bay and the Sierra Club for the environment; the Brady campaign to stop gun violence; and
groups which are fighting Citizens United;
7). Support the efforts of U.S. senators Dianne
Feinstein and Elizabeth Warren to prevent conflict of
interest on the part of the president and vice president
with regard to with the emolument clause in the U.S.
Constitution which prohibits the president from accepting gifts or benefits from foreign governmental actors;
8). Keep informed on the various attempts to ensure one
man, one vote about redistricting and the Electoral College;
9). Join some of the peaceful protest marches such as
the national march by women Saturday, Jan. 21. The Bay
Area marches are being coordinated with the Womens
March in Washington, D.C. In Oakland, march begins at
Madison Park and ends at Frank Ogawa Plaza, 10 a.m.-3
p.m. In San Jose, march begins at San Jose City Hall and
ends at Cesar Chavez Plaza 4 p.m.-9 p.m. For more information go to womensmarchbayarea.org; and
10). Go to your church, temple or mosque and pray for
the United States of America as often as you can and say
your own prayer each night.
We need all the help we can get.

The holiday shopping season is losing some of its power

By Anne DInnocenzio
NEW YORK The holiday shopping

season is losing some of its power in the
years sales.
November and December now account for
less than 21 percent of annual retail sales at
physical stores, down from a peak of over
25 percent, and experts believe itll keep
dropping. Those extra percentage points
would have translated into an extra $70 billion more in buying for last year, says
Michael Niemira, principal at The Retail
Economist.
The season had steadily gained in importance and peaked in the early 80s, before
the dominance of big discounters like WalMart stalled its growth as shoppers began
moving away from department stores.
Still, the two-month period held its own
through the mid-90s, when online shopping for deals took hold.
There was a mindset even before online
shopping, said Niemira, whose data goes
back to 1967. But this just accelerated
it.
In general, many people are shopping
for the holidays all year long now, mirroring the trend for back-to-school items.
Heavy discounting has diluted sales, and
with big promotions throughout the year,
shoppers no longer hold off making their

Shoppers carry shopping bags as they take care of their last-minute Christmas holiday gift
purchases outside a department store.
biggest purchases until the holidays.
This year, the contentious presidential
election delayed some shoppers, and with
Christmas falling on a Sunday, stores are
expecting a bigger number of last-minute
buyers. At a busy Target store in Brick,
New Jersey on Saturday morning, many
shoppers seemed to be picking up small
items to use as stocking stuffers. Others

were hoping to find a last-minute deal.
Im pretty much set for Christmas, so I
thought I would come down and see what I
could find on sale, like maybe a TV, Terry
Kreft, 38, said as she strolled through the
store. She has spent about $600 on gifts
this year, taking advantage of discounts
during the traditional holiday-season

shopping days right after Thanksgiving,
called Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I was pretty much done with my shopping before December got rolling, Kreft
said.
But a late rush isnt expected to make up
the difference.
Its no longer a seasonal business, said
Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at
consumer research rm NPD Group Inc.
Its a yearlong investment for the consumer. And retailers need to change. They
have to excite shoppers early in the season
and later in the season and all year
long.
Stores now offer good deals throughout
the year on products like TVs and appliances, making waiting until the end of the
year less appealing. Deloitte LLP found 30
percent of shoppers planned to wait for
holiday sales to buy large gifts, down from
35 percent a year ago.
People are not holding back and waiting
because they nd a good price for all the
things they are looking for, said Rod
Sides, vice chairman of Deloitte.
Christopher Rogers, a research analyst at
Panjiva, which looks at imports, says he
has seen a smoothing out of imports during
the pre-holiday shopping season from July
to November on key items like apparel,
toys and furniture.
GOP on taxes: Cut rates, brackets but what about the deficit?
By Stephen Ohlemacher
WASHINGTON
Co n g res s i o n al
Rep ub l i can s are p l an n i n g a mas s i v e
overhaul of the nations tax system next
year, a heavy political lift that could ulti-
mately affect families at every income

level and businesses of every size.
Their goal is to simplify a complicated
tax code that rewards wealthy people with
smart accountants, and corporations that
can easily shift profits and jobs
overseas. It wont be easy. The last time
it was done was 30 years ago.

Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., and Speaker Paul Ryan,
R-Wis. , have vowed to pass a tax package
that would not add to the budget. The
Washington term is revenue neutral.
It means that for every tax cut there has
to be a tax increase, creating winners and
losers. Lawmakers would get some leeway
if non-partisan congressional analysts
project that a tax cut would increase economic growth, raising revenue without
increasing taxes.
Nevertheless, passing a massive tax
package will require some tough votes,
politically.
Some key Republican senators want to
share the political risk with Democrats.
They argue that a tax overhaul must be
bipartisan to be fully embraced by the
public. They cite President Barack

Obamas health law which passed in
2010 without any Republican votes as
a major policy initiative that remains
divisive.
Congressional Democrats say they are
eager to have a say in overhauling the tax
code. But McConnell, who faulted
Democrats for acting unilaterally on
health care, is laying the groundwork to
pass a purely partisan bill.
Both McConnell and Ryan said they
plan to use a legislative maneuver that
would prevent Senate Democrats from
using the filibuster to block a tax bill.
McConnell says he wants the Senate to
tackle a tax plan in the spring, after
Congress repeals Obamas health law.
House Republicans are more eager to get
started, but havent set a timeline.

BILLINGS, Mont. The nations largest

freight railroad has agreed to more thorough
inspections and maintenance improvements after a fiery oil train derailment in
Oregon and the discovery of more than
800 potential safety violations across its
sprawling network.
Details on the agreement between the
Federal Railroad Administration and
Union Pacific Railroad were obtained by
The Associated Press.
Sixteen tank cars from a Union Pacific
train hauling North Dakota crude through
the Columbia River Gorge derailed in
early June along a curve in the tracks near
Mosier, Oregon. The accident sparked a
massive fire that burned for 14 hours and

prompted the evacuation of nearby areas.
No one was injured. But federal officials
said the railroad wasnt following its own
inspection rules to ensure the track was
safe. A closer examination of the tracks
would have caught a series of broken
bolts that allowed the rails to move too
far apart where the accident occurred, officials said.
The investigation into the accident is
continuing.
The more than 800 potential violations
against Union Pacific were found as part
of a two-year examination of tracks
across the U. S. used to haul crude. They
include some of the same lax inspection
problems blamed in the Mosier derailment, federal officials said.

Villaroman sets Serra receiving mark

For a Serra offense that possessed so

many talented weapons this season, it
was junior slot receiver Shane
Villaroman who made the most prolific
splash in the football record books.
After missing two of the Padres first
three games this year with a shoulder
injury, Villaroman went on to set the single-season receiving mark with 1,055
yards in 2016, surpassing the 13-yearold mark of 963 yards set by Alex Biddle
in 2003.
After a standout year with the juniorvarsity squad last season in which
Villaroman was named the teams 2015

would get heading into his first varsity

Cavaliers 109, Warriors 108
Cavs late rally

stuns Warriors
By Tom Withers
CLEVELAND Six months later, the

Cavaliers came back on the Warriors again.
Kyrie Irving dropped a fadeaway jumper
over Klay Thompson with 3.4 seconds left
and Cleveland rallied just the way it did in
historic fashion last June in the NBA Finals,
beating Golden State 109-108 on Sunday.
The Cavs trailed 94-80 early in the fourth
quarter before rallying before a rowdy
Christmas crowd. And as was the case in the
Finals, it was Irving who made the biggest
basket.
Golden State had one last chance but Kevin
Durant lost his balance coming off a screen
and couldnt get off a shot as time expired.
LeBron James had 31 points, and Irving
added 25 for the Cavs. They were down 3-1 in
the Finals before winning three straight and
the championship the first for a
Cleveland team since 1964.
Durant had 36 points in his first appearance in the leagues hottest rivalry, and
Thompson had 24. The Warriors had their
seven-game winning streak stopped.
The Cavs couldnt quite catch the Warriors
until James gave Cleveland a 105-103 lead
its first since the opening quarter with
a monstrous dunk that he celebrated by
swinging on the rim like a kid at recess.
Stephen Currys 3-pointer with 1:14 left
put the Warriors up by three, but Irving
scored on a layup and Cleveland shut down
Golden State on the defensive end, forcing a
24-second violation.
Following a timeout, Irving dribbled deep
into the lane and hit his off-balance shot
over Thompson.
The Warriors set up a game-winning
chance for Durant, but he stumbled with

HONOLULU Hawaii has already come

quite a ways in one season under coach Nick
Rolovich, and that culminated in snapping a
decade-long skid on Saturday night.
Dru Brown who transferred from the
College of San Mateo after his freshman season in 2015 threw for 274 yards and four
touchdowns and Hawaii overcame an early
deficit to beat Middle Tennessee 52-35 in the
Hawaii Bowl.
The Rainbow Warriors (7-7) amassed 500
yards of total offense and their highest-scoring output this season to end on a threegame winning streak. The Christmas Eve
victory marks their first bowl win since
2006, an unlikely end to a season that began

Win comes at quite a cost for Raiders

By Eddie Pells
In one city, a win felt a lot like a loss. In

another, the losers finally figured out how
to win.
The Oakland Raiders stayed in the hunt for
home-field advantage through the playoffs,
but their 33-25 victory over the Colts came
at a cost. Their quarterback, Derek Carr, was

Derek Carr, who suffered a broken leg Saturday.
At the other end of the standings, the
Cleveland Browns avoided going down in

infamy; they beat the Chargers 20-17 for
their first victory of the season and will not
join the 2008 Detroit Lions as the second
team to finish 0-16.
I dont want that next to any of our
names associated with this organization and
so we got that monkey off our back, coach
Hue Jackson said.
Carr wasnt the only key quarterback to go
down during Week 16 of the NFL season.
And the Browns werent the only bad team
to pull out an unexpected win.
Mariota out
Joining Carr on the sideline for the rest of
the season will be Titans quarterback Marcus
Mariota, who, like Carr, was carted off the
field Saturday with a broken right leg. Unlike
the Raiders, though, the Titans lost their
game. The 38-17 loss to the Jaguars, combined with Houstons 12-10, AFC Southclinching victory over Cincinnati, knocked
Tennessee out of the playoff picture.

Cubs World Series title voted top AP sports story of 2016

By Jay Cohen
CHICAGO Everything changed for the

Chicago Cubs on a rainy November night. A
century-plus worth of heartache washed away
by a wave of pure joy.
There were hugs, cheers and tears and
bottles and bottles of booze, sprayed everywhere from Cleveland to the shadow of
Wrigley Field.
Lovable losers, no more. The story of so
many lifetimes is The Associated Press Sports
Story of the Year.
The burden has been lifted, manager Joe
Maddon said.
The Cubs first World Series title since
1908 is the runaway winner for top sports
story of 2016, collecting 48 of 59 firstplace votes and 549 points in balloting by
AP members and editors. The death of
Muhammad Ali after a long battle with
Parkinsons disease was second with 427
points, and LeBron James leading the
Cleveland Cavaliers to the franchises first
NBA title took third with 425 points.
In a year that seemed to be more about what
we lost (Ali, Arnold Palmer, Gordie Howe, Pat
Summitt, Jose Fernandez and the plane crash
that killed most of the Brazilian club soccer
team Chapecoense) than the winners on the
field, the Cubs provided a feel-good moment
that warmed at least the north side of Chicago
well into the citys notoriously brutal winter.
They drew huge ratings throughout the playoffs, with much of the country tuning in to see
if it finally was the year.
It was.
I think a lot of casual fans were initially
drawn to the Cubs in the postseason because of
the 108-year drought and the curse narrative,
PATRICK GORSKI/USA TODAY SPORTS
Cubs fans frolic in the streets of Chicago in celebration of the teams World Series
victory over the Cleveland Indians, the Cubs first since 1908.
president of baseball operations Theo Epstein
said. But when they tuned in, they saw a talented team full of young, exciting players who
are also team-first, high-character people.
As baseball stories go, the 2016 Cubs had it
all. One last stand for
David Ross, a retiring catcher who became a
key figure in Chicagos clubhouse. Loads of
bright young stars, with Kris Bryant turning
in an MVP performance. An eccentric personality in Maddon, who cemented his status as
one of the games best managers.
There was history, for the franchise and its
front office, with Epstein helping end two of
baseballs biggest droughts. See Boston Red

Sox, 2004.
That would have been enough to make it one
of the top sports stories of any year, but an
epic finish only added to the luster of the franchises third championship. The Cubs dropped
three of the first four games in the World Series
against the Indians, and then rallied to force
Game 7 in Cleveland.
After Chicago blew a 6-3 lead in the
finale, outfielder Jason Heyward got his
teammates together during a short rain delay
before the top of the 10th. The Cubs caught
their breath, and then finished off the famed
Billy Goat Curse with an 8-7 victory that

will live on in the bars of Wrigleyville for
many years to come.
The players-only meeting during the rain
delay was emblematic of this team, Epstein
said. Instead of lamenting the blown lead or
pointing fingers, the players rallied around
one another and picked each other up.
Ali was mourned all over the world after
his death in June at age 74. President Barack
Obama called his wife, Lonnie, to express
his condolences, and a public memorial in
the boxers hometown of Louisville,
Kentucky, drew an eclectic mix of celebrities, athletes and politicians.
He was a tremendous bolt of lightning, created by Mother Nature out of thin air, a fantastic combination of power and beauty, comedian Billy Crystal said.
James called Ali the first icon, and
announced in November he planned to
donate $2.5 million to support a museum
exhibit honoring the former heavyweight
champion. He also is producing a documentary on Ali for HBO.
It was quite a year for James, who powered
Cleveland to its own comeback from a 3-1
deficit against Golden State for the citys first
major professional sports championship
since 1964. He tried to cheer the Indians to a
second title for Cleveland, but they fell just
short.
A day after Game 7, a hungover and hungry
crew of Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer
and a couple friends were back at Wrigley Field
when they decided to get something to eat. The
main dish was fitting.
We enjoyed some warm goat and cold
beer, Epstein said. It was a nice way to
celebrate and flush the whole curse narrative
once and for all.

UCLA enters Pac-12 season undefeated

By John Marshall
ROBERT HANASHIRO/USA TODAY SPORTS
Carlos Hyde scores a first-quarter touchdown

Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Carlos Hyde out

with a torn MCL
STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
Forty-Niners running back Carlos Hyde

will fall 12 yards shy of reaching the
1,000-rushing plateau for the first time in
his three-year career after being diagnosed
with a torn MCL Sunday, it was reported by
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Hyde exited with a knee injury Saturday
from the 49ers 22-21 comeback win over
the Rams. He had rushed 13 times for 38
yards, but added three receptions for 24
yards and a first-half touchdown to get the
49ers on the board.
The 49ers (2-13) were handicapped on the
offensive line from the outset. Already missing left tackle Joe Staley and center Marcus
Martin due to injury, things got worse in the
second quarter when rookie right guard
Joshua Garnett exited with a finger injury.
Hyde, who will miss the 49ers season finale
next week against the Seahawks, will finish
the year with a career-high 988 rushing yards.
PHOENIX Coach Steve Alfords best

recruiting class for this season was expected to get UCLA back on track following the
Bruins fourth losing season since 1948.
Few could have expected they would be
this good this quick.
Led by freshmen Lonzo Ball and TJ Leaf,
UCLA is up to No. 2 in
the AP Top 25 and one of
six remaining undefeated
teams as the Bruins head
into the Pac-12 season.
Alford has gone from
having people call for
his job to leading a team
being predicted to make a
Final Four run.
Lonzo Ball
Ive got a really good
group of guys to coach,
theyre a pretty good
basketball team right
now, Alford said. Were
trying to become a great
basketball team, and
thats a process. Thats a
journey.
UCLA (13-0) were good
early and caught national
TJ Leaf
attention with a road win
over then-top-ranked Kentucky on Dec. 3.
The Bruins also have wins over Texas A&M,
Michigan and Ohio State, and their victory
over Western Michigan on Wednesday finished off their first undefeated non-conference season since 1994-95.
UCLA will be the favorite when the Pac12 season starts next week, but the Bruins
have a long way to go and a lot of good
teams to get through if they want to win the
conference title.
The Pac-12 has three other ranked teams,
including undefeated No. 23 Southern
California, and every team but one has a
winning record.
It should be fun to watch. Heres a few
things to look for:
Trojans rise
USC had modest expectations after following a five-win season with an NCAA
Tournament berth last season. Coach Andy
Enfields high-flying crew has blown those
away. The Trojans (11-0), picked seventh in
the Pac-12 preseason poll, have their first
11-game winning streak since opening the
1971 season 16-0, when they finished 24-2.
USCs strength of schedule isnt exactly a
gauntlet of power teams its best win was
over Texas A&M which is why the Trojans
have made slow progress in the AP Top 25.
Still, until someone beats them, dont doubt
the Trojans.
Slow-starting Ducks
Oregon opened the season with two losses
in its first four games, prompting questions
of whats wrong with the Ducks? Nothing,
really. Oregon typically starts slow under
coach Dana Altman and the Ducks were without leading scorer Dillon Brooks for the first
three games after offseason foot surgery.

USF falls in Diamond Head title game

the Diamond Head Classic championship.
San Diego State (8-4) hit nine 3-poiners
against the Dons to set a tournament record
with 29 makes over three games.
San Francisco got within two points

for the fourth time in the second half with
11:46 remaining but the Dons (10-3) couldnt get any closer the rest of the way.
SDSUs Jeremy Hemsley hit a 3-pointer
with 4:19 left for a 10-point lead.
Hemsley, who entered averaging 16.6 points
round of the Maui Invitational, the Ducks

have won nine straight and moved up to No.
20 in the AP Top 25. Oregon is loaded with
talent and will certainly make a run at repeating as Pac-12 champion.

sprained his right ankle in the seventh game
of the season. Despite being down to seven
scholarship players, the 18th-ranked
Wildcats (11-2) have continued to find ways
to win behind their freshmen trio of Lauri
Markkanen , Kobi Simmons and Rawle
Alkins. Jackson-Cartwright appears to be
ahead of schedule, too, so Arizona should
only get better.
Fultzs impact
Markelle Fultz arrived at Washington as
the most highly-touted recruit in program
history. The do-everything point guard has
lived up to the hype, leading the Huskies
with 22.4 points per game while shooting
49 percent from the field and 48 percent from
3-point range. He also averages 6.6 rebounds
and 6.3 assists. Fultz hasnt been able to
carry Washington by himself, though. The
Huskies lost to Yale at home early in the season, had a four-game losing streak and will
enter Pac-12 play at 7-5.
in his sophomore season, picked up his fourth
foul with 18:49 left in the second half and finished with 12 points. Malik Pope missed his
second straight game for the Aztecs due to a
knee injury suffered in the quarterfinals.
The Aztecs led 32-28 at halftime after
shooting 50 percent. Charles Minlend kept
USF close by making three 3-pointers and
scoring 13 points.

NEW YORK Isaiah Thomas scored 27

a late lead, and the Celtics beat New York.
The Knicks wiped out a late nine-point
deficit with an out-of-nowhere 11-2 run in a
little more than a minute, but Smart answered
with his shot and Avery Bradley and Al
Horford also made big defensive plays.
Jae Crowder and Kelly Olynyk each had 16

29 points for the Knicks.

James heated up in the

seen can miss 10 shots in a row and then

Doing their own thing

The Vikings defense threw their game
plan out for the first half and paid the price.
Packers receiver Jordy Nelson caught
seven passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns over the first two quarters while being
covered mostly by Terence Newman. That
went against the Vikings game plan, which
called for Xavier Rhodes to cover the Packers
receiver. After halftime, Rhodes handled
Nelson and held him to nine yards.
Miami run machine

The Dolphins inched closer to a playoff
spot with the help of running back Jay
Ajayi, who ran for 75 of his 206 yards during Miamis game-winning drive in overtime. The Dolphins beat the Bills 34-31.
Ajayi became the fourth player in NFL
history with three 200-yard rushing games
in a season. The company he joins: Earl
Campbel, O.J. Simpson and Tiki Barber.
If the Broncos lose to Kansas City on
Sunday night, the Dolphins have their first

playoff spot since 2008.
A win-win situation
The only bad thing about winning for
Cleveland was that the victory loosened its
grasp on next years first pick in the draft.
Leave it to the equally awful San Francisco
49ers to fix that problem.
The one-win Niners, who wouldve
received the first pick had they and the
Browns finished tied with a single victory,
got their second win when Chip Kelly opted
for a 2-point conversion after a late touchdown against the Rams. Colin Kaepernick
ran in the 2-pointer for a 22-21 victory over
the Rams and helped the Niners snap a 13game losing streak and improve to 2-13.
The Browns can wrap up the top pick with
a loss at Pittsburgh next week. The 49ers
play Seattle.
Playoff position
The Giants made the playoffs thanks to
Tampa Bays loss, and the Falcons won the
NFC South. New England can wrap up homefield advantage throughout the playoffs
with a win next week against Miami.
Pittsburgh can win the AFC North with a
victory over the Ravens on Sunday.
SERRA
squad of 2003 was the last team to reach the
Northern California championship game
losing 28-20 to Del Oro-Loomis playing
14 games that season.
But Villaroman appeared in just 13 games
this season. After totaling six catches for
75 yards in Serras opening-day loss to St.
Marys, he missed the following two weeks
with a shoulder injury. The original prognosis for the injury to his acromioclavicular
joint had him projected to miss 6-8 weeks.
He was back in less than a month to record
one of his most productive games of the
season, totaling seven catches for 145
yards in a 35-28 loss to Valley Christian in
the West Catholic Athletic League opener.
Fortunately I came back in three weeks,
Villaroman said. Everything was fine and I
was able to contribute.
Villaroman would got on to record catches
in each of the 13 games he played. This also
helped him set Serras single-season receptions mark with 63, breaking the previous
record of 58 set by McGlennon in 1967.
15
Two quarterbacks contributed to the record

fairly evenly, with senior Leki Nunn and
sophomore Luke Bottari splitting time at
the position. While Nunn was the consensus choice for the player who set the tone
for the most productive offense in Serra history, he and Bottari were fairly balanced
when it came to the passing game.
The Padres set several team records this
season, including most touchdown passes
in a single season with 35. Of those, Leki
Nunn threw 19 and Bottari 14.
The Serra offense also became the first in
program history to surpass the 6,000-yard
plateau, totaling a school-record 6, 034
yards; it also scored the most points in program history with 574, surpassing the previous mark of 505 points set in 2011; and
Leki Nunn and Bottari fronted an air attack
that threw for a program-record 3,186 yards.
By virtue of his monster junior season,
Villaroman is now within striking distance
of Serras career receiving mark. He currently ranks seventh all-time, with Biddle the
all-time leader at 1,534 yards, which he
totaled from 2002-03.
I wasnt really focusing on [records]
going into the season, Villaroman said.
Next year I just plan on doing the same
thing. I just want to help my team get back
to state and if I break records, so be it.

and they stuck together, not only for the seniors, but for the fans and the
supporters of Warrior football, Rolovich said. Im grateful for their
effort. I thought they represented the university very well and Im happy
for them to go out with a win today.
Brown completed 20 of 30 passes without an interception. He had a 2yard touchdown run and was sacked just once. Brown has nine touchdowns to zero interceptions in his last two games.
I think the offensive line played a solid role in that, Brown said.
They played really well the last two games and really all year. Most of
the time when the offense isnt working its my fault. I still think I made
some mistakes today, (but) they just werent magnified. The receivers
played great and the coaches called great plays.
Tight end Metuisela Unga caught two of Browns scoring strikes, an
18-yarder in the first quarter for Hawaiis first score and a 12-yarder late
in the third.
Diocemy Saint Juste ran for 170 yards on 25 carries.
Hawaii turned three Middle Tennessee turnovers into 21 points. It fell
behind 14-0 just over 5 minutes into the game, but scored the next 28
points and never relinquished the lead.
I think thats been kind of a trend this year where we start off slow,
but after those two scores we all came together on the sideline and said,
Enough is enough, lets go, Hawaii defensive lineman Kory

Canadians sent home for
trying to sneak cat into New Zealand
WELLINGTON, New Zealand A Canadian woman who

authorities say managed to hide her 4-year-old pet cat Bella
in her handbag during a trans-Pacific flight had her vacation
cut short when border agents discovered the ruse at a New
Zealand airport.
The woman was refused entry into the country and she, her
husband and the cat were forced to catch the next flight
home, Ministry for Primary Industries spokesman Craig
Hughes said Thursday. He called the woman's actions "reckless and dangerous."
New Zealand has strict regulations for importing pets.
Cats and dogs from most approved countries must have an
implanted microchip and be quarantined for a minimum of
10 days after arrival.
Hughes said the couple, both in their mid- to late-20s,
managed to conceal the cat from the flight crew and other
passengers during the 7, 000-mile (11, 300-kilometer)
flight from Vancouver to Auckland.
"Apparently it was a very quiet cat. Very docile," Hughes
said, adding that it may have been drugged to make it
drowsy.

Animal separation anxiety

I
ve a friend who claims to be

both lactose and glucose intolerant except when it comes to his
beloved cheese enchiladas. Yes, we
apply some labels too liberally,
which can lead to dismissing the serious problems when they actually
occur. Separation anxiety in dogs is a
good example.
Dogs who mope when they see you
getting ready to leave for the day are
not suffering separation anxiety; they
may be testing how easily you can be
manipulated into staying, or at least
fluffing the couch pillows before
departing. Separation anxiety sufferers exhibit rather extreme symptoms:
destructive behavior, toilet problems,
chewing (including on their own legs
and bodies), howling. Ive known
dogs so anxious they drool and pant
actual pools of saliva. Its very sad.
Why some do and others dont
develop this disorder is not entirely
clear, but
events the
dog considers
traumatic
(whether
we see it
that way
or not)
can be the
cause,
including
what we
consider
Ken WHITE
minor
changes in routine (dogs love routine). Punishment wont help, as
should be obvious. A few things that
might
Increase the level of early-in-theday exercise (good for you both)
which will not only help tire Fido
before you split but also creates the
positive interactions he may be crav-
ing. Leave something that smells like

you behind (dirty clothes), an olfactory promise that youre not leaving for
good. Stay emotionally neutral when
leaving and returning: people can create anxiety when the dog detects their
owners anxiety/guilt.
Talk radio may recreate the comforting sound of people. Interactive
toys (such as hard rubbery bones containing treats which can be retrieved
after considerable effort) may prove
distracting. After serious reflection,
larger lifestyle changes (daycare,
adopting a second pet) may do the
trick (I can help with that adoption!).
Ive not seen much from snuggly
vests or those calming scents, but others swear by them. Last resort, your veterinarian can prescribe something but
only after attempting all possibilities.

British pop singer George Michael dead at age 53

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody
and Gregory Katz
LONDON George Michael, who rocketed to stardom with WHAM! and went on
to enjoy a long and celebrated solo career
lined with controversies, has died, his
publicist said Sunday. He was 53.
Michael died at his home in Goring,
England. His publicist, Cindi Berger, said
he had not been ill. No other details were
released.
He enjoyed immense popularity early in
his career as a teenybopper idol, delivering a series of hits such as Wake Me Up
Before You Go-Go, Young Guns (Go For
It) and Freedom. As a solo artist, he
developed into a more serious singer and
songwriter, lauded by critics for his
tremendous vocal range. He sold well over
100 million albums globally, earned
numerous Grammy and American Music
Awards, and recorded

duets with legends like
Aretha Franklin, Ray
Charles,
Luciano
Pavarotti and Elton
John.
Throughout
his
career, his drug use and
taste for risky sex
George Michael brought him into frequent brushes with the
law, most famously in 1998 when he was
arrested for public lewdness in Los
Angeles. Yet, he managed to turn the incident into fodder for a popular song that
poked fun at his behavior, and his
acknowledgment of his homosexuality at
that time made him even more popular
with his fans.
Michael, with startling good looks and
an easy stage manner, formed the boy
band WHAM! with his school friend
Andrew Ridgeley in the early 1980s.
Helped by MTV, which was an emerging

music industry force at the time, the
cheerful duo easily crossed the Atlantic to
become popular in the United States with
Michael, as lead singer, usually the focal
point.
He started his solo career shortly before
WHAM! split, with the release of the
megahit single Careless Whisper, making a seamless transition. Critics generally viewed his WHAM! songs as catchy
but disposable pop and gave his solo
efforts far higher marks.
His first solo album, 1987s Faith,
sold more 20 million copies, and he
enjoyed several hit singles including the
raunchy I Want Your Sex, which was
helped immeasurably by a provocative
video that received wide air play on MTV.
The song was controversial not only
because of its explicit nature, but also
because it was seen as encouraging casual
sex and promiscuity at a time when the
AIDS epidemic was deepening. Michael

and his management tried to tamp down
this point of view by having the singer
write Explore Monogamy on the leg
and back of a model in the video.
At the time, Michael had not disclosed
his homosexuality, and much of his chart
success was based on his sex appeal to
young women. His look was raw and
provocative, with tight jeans, tight Tshirts, black leather jackets and designer
stubble, and his videos pushed the accepted limits with many lingerie-clad models
vying for Michaels attentions on screen.
But Michaels situation changed abruptly in 1998 when he was arrested for lewd
conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles
after being spotted by a male undercover
police officer.
The arrest received international media
attention, and seemed for a brief time to
jeopardize Michaels stature as a top recording artist.
KKK reality series scrapped after network learns of payments

By Mark Kennedy
NEW YORK A&E is scrapping plans

for an eight-part documentary series about
the Ku Klux Klan after nding out that some
participants of the hate group were paid for
their work on it.
The network said Saturday it was dropping Escaping the KKK: A Documentary
Series Exposing Hate in America a day
after discovering that nominal cash payments were given by third-party producers.
While we stand behind the intent of the

series and the seriousness of the content,
these payments are a direct violation of
A&Es policies and practices for a documentary, the network said in statement.
Escaping the KKK was to follow people
trying to extract themselves from the racist
and anti-Semitic hate group. The network
had promised that no payments would be
made.
We had previously provided assurances
to the public and to our core partners
including the Anti-Defamation League and
Color of Change that no payment was

made to hate group members, and we
believed that to be the case at the time, the
network said. We have now decided not to
move forward with airing this project.
The project triggered wide criticism as
soon as it was announced earlier this
month. The network, which originally
titled the series Generation KKK, changed
the name and enlisted civil rights groups to
collaborate on in-show educational content
after getting heat for allowing the KKKs
hate speech to be aired.
In the opening scene of a trailer for the

now-scrapped series, the Imperial Wizard of
the North Mississippi White Knights is
shown giving his young children red
Klansman hoods and said he hopes his
daughter becomes the rst woman Imperial
Wizard.
Our goal with this series has always been
to expose and combat racism and hatred in
all its forms, A&E said. A&E takes the
authenticity of its documentary programming and the subject of racism, hatred and
violence very seriously.

Finnish phone app finds reindeer, helps to avoid roadkill

By James Brooks
ROVANIEMI, Finland Theres good

news for Rudolph and his friends an app
is helping officials reduce the number of
reindeer killed in traffic accidents in
Finland.
Some 300,000 reindeer freely wander the
wilds of Lapland in Arctic Finland. An estimated 4,000 are killed every year through
road accidents, officials say, and compensation to reindeer herders can be expensive.
Most of the accidents occur during the
dark winter months when the animals are
hard to spot. Several methods to cut roadkill
have failed, including spray-painting
antlers with fluorescent colors, hanging
reflectors on reindeer necks and using movable traffic signs to warn of reindeer as they
wander through the lichen-covered fells.

In their latest attempt, officials are using
a smartphone app called Porokello,
Finnish for Reindeer Bell.
And it seems to be working at least last
month, when there were 300 less reindeer
accidents on the roads of Finnish Lapland
compared to the same month in 2015.
According to Jaakko Ylinampa, head of a
local business center in Rovaniemi, the
biggest town in Lapland near the Arctic
Circle, the app helps cut costs for herders.
A simple, one-button interface allows
drivers to tap their smartphone screens to
register any reindeer spotted near roads.
Using GPS technology, it creates a 1.5kilometer (1-mile) warning zone that lasts
for an hour and warns other app users
approaching the area.
If there are reindeer, (drivers) reduce
speed, Ylinampa said. When they have

passed the warning place, then they can get
back to the normal speed again.
Reindeer often wander onto roads that cut
across grazing grounds rather than plowing
through the deep snow, said Anna-Leena
Jankala, whose family has a reindeer farm in
Narkaus, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of
Rovaniemi.
When female reindeer are killed, it can be
particularly damaging to herders, setting
them back years despite government compensation.
In practice, its not possible to buy a
similar reindeer, you need to raise it,
Jankala said.
Its hard to gauge the success of the pilot
project that started in June with 1,000 free,
app-loaded smartphones delivered to professional drivers, including heavy vehicles,
taxis and buses, but those using it at least

have a good warning system, says Maria
Timo-Huhtala, who helped develop the app.
Driving along an icy Lappish road, she
looks checks her phone when a warning
alerts her.
We know that we are in the area where
reindeer (have) been seen in the past one
hour, she said. So now we know to be cautious and look more carefully.
This time the reindeer, which are bred for
their meat, milk and fur, have moved on.
Timo-Huhtala emphasizes that drivers
shouldnt become too reliant on the app.
Its important for the drivers to understand that there might a reindeer even if
there is not a warning, Timo-Huhtala said.
We have quite well covered the roads in
Lapland with the system, but its still not
100 percent.

DATEBOOK
PIER
for it to proceed. Now, the local
agency will look for a contractor that
can handle tearing down and removing
the 640-foot-long structure while preventing refuse from polluting the
water, said district General Manager
Steve McGrath.
Demolition will take place from the
water, which should make for an interesting endeavor.
We want to remove as much of the
pier as possible and as cleanly as possible, McGrath said. At this point,
its fair to say pretty much the only
logical way of doing this if from a
barge-mounted crane.
Staff is in the process of creating a
bid that will outline requirements for
the contractor. One yet-to-be-seen
issue is whether the pilings or poles
jetting out from the ocean floor to hold
up the pier are sturdy enough to be
fully removed. If crews find the pilings
breaking off while pulled from above,
theyd have to cut them off as close to
the ocean floor as possible, McGrath
SOUTH CITY
the current condition of this site is not
acceptable. Its been something that is
of great concern to the city and has a
potential impact on the surrounding
neighborhood, he said. We just want
to work with the developer to break the
logjam, because we really want to see
this project proceed as quickly as possible.
Greenwood said he expects applicant
WT Mitchell Group to return before
city officials early next year with an
extended development agreement
aimed at pushing the project ahead.
It looks like they have some really
good solutions that preserve the
design integrity and allow it go forward in a way that is financially feasible, he said.
The project is slated to first head to
the citys housing subcommittee,
before following through to the
Planning Commission and eventually
the City Council, said Greenwood. He

city will do a request for proposals

said.
He expects demolition to last about
four to six weeks with district staff
slated to provide an update on the bid
process to commissioners during their
January meeting. The district has budgeted about $625,000 for the project
this fiscal year, although McGrath said
hes not yet sure whether that will
reflect actual costs.
Both he and Mattusch noted it was
unfortunate that the only feasible
option for the pier at this point was to
demolish it particularly as building
piers or projects along the coast and in
the water face much more stringent
regulations and permitting requirements than in years past.
Mattusch, a charter boat captain,
recalled when the district first took
over the pier and how people had grand
notions of restoring the property. But
ideas such as potentially opening a
restaurant or creating another type of
attraction never materialized, he said.
During its peak, it was used to support a bustling sardine and fishing
industry that once occupied surrounding warehouses, Mattusch said. The
Romeo Pier is in the outer harbor and
was constructed several years before
the neighboring Johnson Pier, which
is in the heavily-used inner harbor

where boats of the countys main fishing fleet resides.
McGrath, who came to the district
less than a year ago, said he isnt sure
why the pier wasnt maintained but
emphasized they must move forward
keeping two priorities in mind.
Safety and environmental protection those are the number one and
number one goals, McGrath said.
In other news, the district
announced it reached a settlement with
Scott Grindy, its former harbormaster
and interim general manager. The district will award Grindy $103,300 as
part of the agreement, McGrath said.
In April, Grindy filed a claim
against his former employer about six
months after he resigned his post. The
claim cited emotional distress and
alleged
Commissioner
Sabrina
Brennan defamed him and made
derogatory statements against him.
The commission voted in favor of the
settlement 4-1, with Brennan dissenting.
It was the second claim the district
settled in recent times as former
finance director Debra Galarza was
awarded $295,000 in 2014 after she
claimed Brennan harassed her.
said there have not been any substantive amendments proposed to the core
principles of the project, such as the
amount of housing proposed or
Safeway serving as the anchor tenant.
Councilmembers had celebrated the
project moving ahead in 2014, when
Safeway closed to make way for redevelopment. But following a series of
delays, much of property still sits fallow and fenced off, showing no signs
of progress.
We are concerned because it looks
awful, said Greenwood. And that is a
technical term.
Greenwood said he believes some of
the struggle to erect the project can be
tied to its size and scope, as such a
development is essentially unprecedented in South San Francisco.
We really have not seen a mixed-use
project of this complexity before, he
said.
But ultimately, the series of delays
are the responsibility of the developer, said Greenwood, as city officials
have limited power beyond processing
the proposal to move it ahead.
They have just been working diligently for a long time to finalize the
design, and we have been there to give

help when they need help, he said.
Greenwood said residents and neighbors have cried out for progress on the
blighted property.
We are aware that people in the surrounding community are concerned
about it as well, he said.
When the project was first proposed,
developers and officials alike lauded
the vision of high-density housing
along with a variety of amenities and
shopping opportunities near a central
thoroughfare and public transportation lines.
Despite the variety of issues plaguing the project since it was first introduced in 2007, Greenwood said he still
believes in the merits of the proposed
development as a means of providing
housing plus an economic spark to an
underused slice of central property.
The original vision for this project
is exactly what we desperately need,
he said. More housing, less urban
sprawl and more modern, high-quality
urban design on El Camino Real. If we
are able to find a way to go ahead, it
will really point the neighborhood in
the right direction.
Thus far, she has discerned interest

in a restaurant with outdoor seating
and a park or urban gathering space.
Local merchants are hopeful that the
project, once complete, will generate
new business, but have expressed frustration with some of the effects of construction on downtown,
Do you want to hear how loud it is
down here? It looks like a war zone,
said one business owner who did not

wish to be named. Im not sure why
they couldnt have waited until after
Christmas.
I think it will be denitely be helpful, said Lynne Board, owner of Joey
Rae clothing boutique on Laurel Street.
They have plenty of parking thats

and marketing solutions to local businesses.
We are looking for a special person to join our

marketing solutions including print advertising,
inserts, graphic design, niche publications,
online advertising, event marketing, social media
and whatever else we come up with if as the
industry continues its evolution and our paper
continues its upward trajectory.
Experience with print advertising and online
marketing a plus. But we will consider a
candidate with little or no sales experience as
long as you have these traits:

Case Number: 16PRO00608
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Glenn A. Phinney, aka
Glenn Alton Phinney. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Megan Dale in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Megan Dale 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 27, 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.
