Officials pledge undocumented student support


Resolution offers protections for high schoolers threatened by potential federal policies
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local students potentially targeted by the


aggressive immigration enforcement
threats from President-elect Donald Trump
stand to receive support and protection
from school officials.
The San Mateo Union High School
District Board of Trustees will consider during its meeting Thursday, Dec. 15, approving a pledge to keep confidential informa-

tion regarding the immigration status of


local students.
Trustee Marc Friedman said officials
called for the resolution to be drafted in the
wake of many school community members
sharing their anxieties regarding the potential risk facing undocumented residents.
We have students that might be undocumented, or their families might be, and we
need to show them we have their back and
we are protecting them, said Friedman.
Should it be approved, the motion aims to

assure the district will not collect information regarding the immigration of students
or their families and officials will do what
they can to protect the privacy of potentially sensitive documents, should they be
sought by enforcement agencies.
The district will not release information
regarding immigration status or related matters contained in pupil records to federal
agencies or other authorities enforcing
immigration laws without the permission
of the students parent or guardian or pur-

suant to a judicial warrant, subpoena, court


order or as otherwise required by law,
according to the resolution.
District officials worked alongside the
San Mateo County Counsels Office to draft
the resolution, said Friedman, which mirrors action recently taken by the University
of California system. The Sequoia Union
High School District Board of Trustees will
consider a similar resolution Wednesday,

Amidst heavy opposition from Docktown Marina residents, the Redwood City Council approved a plan Monday
to end residential use at the floating community and establish timelines for relocating the people who live there.
The council voted unanimously to approve the Final
Docktown Plan, estimated to cost $10.4 million, with
about $4 million for acquisition of barge-based dwellings.
February 2017 is the target to complete relocation assistance eligibility interviews, with relocation of vessels and
tenants to begin in March 2017.

While winter brings some chilliness


to the Peninsula and creates a need to
stay warm and cozy at home, it means
something different for dancers.
The holiday season has long been
synonymous with Nutcracker season
in the ballet world and, for dancers,
rather than hibernating at home when
not busy with school or work, it means
packing up their dance shoes,

San Mateo narrows sewage storage options


Public Works Commission to pick from alternatives, neighbors concerned
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While the thought of allowing raw


sewage from thousands of San Mateo
residents to pollute the Bay is a
prospect most agree must be avoided,
its not yet clear whether the community agrees on the alternative of temporarily storing tainted runoff in underground
storage tanks.
The city is in the midst of its nearly
$900 million Clean Water Program a
massive overhaul of its wastewater
treatment plant that includes creation of
a 5 million gallon sewage overflow
basin, the location of which has sparked
controversy.
The Public Works Commission will
meet Wednesday night to consider an
analysis of five different alternatives
before making a recommendation on
which two the council should consider
studying further.
A vocal group from the Fiesta Gardens
neighborhood is expected to advocate
against the city considering their community park, which appears to be
ranked third on the list of potential
sites.
Senior Engineer Cathi Zammit, manager of the Clean Water Program, said
staff and consultants have considered a
variety of factors as they weighed the
pros and cons of the five options.
We placed some measurable factors
to compare things that are sometimes
subjective. So were comparing both
technical criteria, which are a little easier to define, with some of the more
social impacts, which are also very
important considerations, Zammit
said.
The city considered at least 13 criteria
ranging from operations and safety to
traffic impacts and community acceptance, before ranking them based on
preferable criteria. In order, the citys
Corporation Yard along Pacific
Boulevard; the San Mateo County Event
Center parking lot; Fiesta Meadows
Park; Hillsdale Plaza, a small area near
the current Caltrain station slated for
redevelopment which would necessitate
a second basin at the event center; and
an underground tunnel spanning 6,300
feet along Delaware Street.
The basins would collect sewage overflow and stormwater runoff during
inclement weather and store it for up to
about 24 hours until it can be treated at
the wastewater plant then safely discharged into the Bay. The multi-million
dollar infrastructure project is in

response to state mandates that the city


cease discharging the untreated sewage
into the Bay, which occurs during heavy
rainfall when the citys wastewater treatment plant is unable to meet demand.
Although the general consensus is
that something must be done to avoid
these harmful pollutants from entering
the environment, theres discord as to
where an underground storage tank
should be located.

Neighborhood concern
Residents of Fiesta Meadows and Bay
Meadows were stunned to find out their
neighborhood parks were being considered although Bay Meadows was
eventually removed from the list, Fiesta
Parks now ranks third on the list.
Neighbors have brought up myriad
concerns from potential smells and
environmental impacts to the loss of
recreation during construction and
potential effects on property values.
Roland Bardony, a representative
with the Fiesta Gardens Homeowner
Association, said construction of a tank
in their neighborhood would affect
1,500 residents, several nearby day care
centers that use the park and the communitys well-attended pool.
He said the neighborhood group met
with city staff, as well as individual
commissioners to listen and voice concerns. Although the park is now apparently third on the list from which commissioners and the council will be asked
to choose two, they plan to stay active
in striving to keep shovels out of their
park.
We cant drop the ball on the 98th
yard line. Its positive but its not convincing, Bardony said, later adding
their park is unique on the list of alternatives. This is the only place that
they had that is close to any kind of
neighborhood. The event center, the
corp. yard, its not close to homes.
On the list of potential impacts, in
addition to traffic during construction as
well as a loss of recreation, Boland
pointed to a nearby creek and properties
that could be affected by pumping out
groundwater for a basin.
Zammit said city personnel has met
with the neighborhood groups to provide further information and public
comment will be incorporated before
the council gives direction.
However, she noted many of the initial points raised by the public such
as the potential for smells or leaks during an earthquake have been vetted
and arent as risky as some portrayed.

We provided a lot of detailed information and how people feel about that
information is a personal response,
Zammit said. Our information shows
how these underground facilities are
designed not to leak, theyre seismically designed to a higher level than a hospital as far as the structural requirements; they have odor controlled systems [and] even though its a larger
basin, its used during storm events, so
the sewage that goes into it is diluted,
its not the same concentration as what
is passing underneath us on a daily
basis.
She also emphasized the underground
basins were the most practical option to
addressing capacity restraints and that
tackling the issue upstream, such as
through reconstructing all of the citys
sewer lines, wasnt feasible.

Site drawbacks
Yet each of the various storage basin
locations has its drawbacks. The
Corporation Yard was once considered
as for a housing development, and the
city does not own the event center parking lot or Hillsdale Plaza. The underground tunnel is also one of the most
expensive options and could prove
challenging to service while potentially affecting traffic along Delaware
Street.
The Corporation Yard would serve two
vital city functions if a basin were
installed and Zammit noted putting a
structure on top a basin is feasible,
albeit more costly, so long as they plan
ahead.
City staff has also had promising conversations with event center officials,
although theyre not yet sure how much
securing an easement for the countyowned property might cost, Zammit
said.
The life cycle costs of the projects,
which dont include right-of-way costs
for Hillsdale Plaza and the event center,
range from $86 million to $123 million, according to a city report.
After the commission weighs in on up
to two preferred alternatives, the council will discuss the matter Jan. 17.
Depending on the councils direction, a
more thorough analysis of the two alternatives will be conducted before a final
option is chosen.

County enacts pot cultivation ban


By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The potential agricultural value legalized


marijuana may have for the coastside piqued
the interest of several members of the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors while
enacting a temporary ban on cultivation
Tuesday.
The board met Tuesday to enact a moratorium on outdoor marijuana growing as well as
commercial operations in response to voters
approving Proposition 64, which legalized
recreational marijuana in the state.
The temporary ban will initially last for 45
days and could be extended to two years, but
the end goal is to study potential regulations
and attempt to create a more regional
approach. Getting feedback from stakeholders may assist the county in forming a blueprint law cities in the county could adopt.
The boards unanimous action was a follow-up to an hourslong meeting a week earlier during which supervisors heard a variety of
viewpoints from numerous departments that
could be affected by the rules including law
enforcement, agriculture, building, environmental and health ofcials.
On Tuesday, supervisors again heard from
several farmers interested in the potential to
revive a waning oral industry as well as
union representatives advocating for regulations that would protect potential cannabis
workers.
Supervisor Don Horsley, a former sheriff
whose district encompasses the coastside,
expressed an interest in prioritizing the study
on a potential for marijuana cultivation.
We do have a lot of greenhouses on the
coast and I know theres an interest on their
part, Horsley said, according to a live video
of the meeting. I dont particularly want to
see it in open elds, but it appears some of
our greenhouse operations would be potentially appropriate.
The countys agricultural commissioner
has projected greenhouse marijuana cultivation could generate $100 million while not
having substantial additional impacts. Other
departments, such as law enforcement and
environmental health, expressed concerns
about the prospect. Horsley noted theres difference between those who are farming, versus commercial operations with more complex issues such as selling, distributing or
manufacturing.
Two Pescadero farmers spoke during the
meeting urging the board to keep an open
mind and discuss agricultural regulations
sooner rather than later; particularly as competition is likely to be erce by the time the
state begins issuing permits.
We need to be competitive, and timing is
everything, said Steve Oku, a third generation ower grower who noted the industry

The constitution says

Kevin Mullin to go back to the voters,

The legislation by Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco, and signed
by high-speed rail proponent Gov. Jerry
Brown, allows rail money to be spent on
electrification of a 55-mile corridor of track
from south of San Jose to San Francisco.
Mullins policy director, Andrew Zingale,
said Tuesday that the legislation was vetted
by the Legislatures attorneys and thus was
constitutional.
We do understand that the opponents
continue to look for ways to continue to
challenge the expenditure of these funds but
theyve consistently failed in that and the
direction of the Legislature has continually
been upheld and we feel confident that this
will still be upheld, Zingale said.
Mullins office had previously characterized AB1889 as clarifying legislation that
authorized $1.1 billion for transit improvements at both ends of the high-speed rail
project to ensure that the money could be
spent before high-speed rail was up and running.
Voters approved nearly $10 billion in
high-speed rail funding in 2008 but support
for the project has since softened. The state
treasurers office initially sold about $1.1
billion in high-speed rail bonds but the
bonds were encumbered for years as the project was tied up in court.

Obituary

Grace Kenmotsu
Resident of Foster City

Grace Kenmotsu of Foster City, California passed away at the


age of 69 on December 7th 2016 after a courageous five-year
battle with cancer. She departed peacefully at home with her two
loving sons by her side.
Grace, born on March 24th, 1947 in Sacramento, California
to Takeshi and Ruby Kawahara, grew up alongside siblings Ed
and Linda in Walnut Grove, California. She graduated from
Courtland High School and CSU Sacramento on a path to
become a lifelong educator. Over the course of her career, she taught junior high home economics
and 3rd grade for a total of 36 years, and tutored for several years concurrently and during
retirement.
Grace was a proud and loving mother above all. She always provided unconditional love,
encouragement, positivity and humor for her sons, Curtis and Derek, and daughter-in-law, Emi.
Dinners together were always filled with stories of her adventures for the day. She visited Derek
four times while he was stationed overseas, drove across the US twice with him, and wrote him
countless letters while he was deployed.
She was instantly loved by everyone whom she encountered and was known to make friends
everywhere she went: at school, the gym, coffee shops, the grocery store, on tours, and the list goes
on. Knowing no strangers, she would spark up conversations with anyone.
Her small stature could not hide the presence and force of life that Grace radiated. Her appetite
for adventure, enduring optimism, and fighting spirit provided everyone who knew her with a
lesson on living a meaningful and fulfilling life regardless of circumstance. She will be profoundly
missed but will live on through her family, friends, and students.
Graces memorial service will be held at 2pm on December 17 at Skylawn Memorial Park in San
Mateo, CA

Oklahoma court tosses
abortion law on hospital privileges
OKLAHOMA CITY The Oklahoma Supreme Court on
Tuesday threw out a law requiring abortion clinics to have
doctors with admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, saying efforts to portray the measure as protecting womens
health are a guise.
The law would require a doctor with admitting privileges
at a hospital within 30 miles be present for any abortion.
The court found it violates both the U.S. and Oklahoma
Constitutions. The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year
struck down a similar provision in Texas.
Under the guise of the protection of womens health,
Oklahoma Justice Joseph Watt wrote, (the law) creates an
undue burden on a womans access to abortion, violating
protected rights under our federal Constitution, referring
specifically to the Texas case.

In Tennessee wildfires, officials

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Deadly wildfires caused more than
$500 million in damage as they tore through a tourism

Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters put a dollar figure on
the damage for the first time at a news conference Tuesday,
where officials also defended their emergency response in
the Gatlinburg area and promised to conduct wide-ranging
reviews of what can be done better.
The fires blew into the city on Nov. 28 on gusts around 87

other fires. People fled the city on foot or by car as walls of
fire closed in.

Chief: Fire department unaware of warehouse concerns


By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Complaints mounted


about the cluttered warehouse converted into an illegal artists colony
before a deadly blaze ripped through
earlier this month, but few if any
made it to the Oakland Fire
Department.
Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach
Reed said Tuesday there are no city
records showing her department
receiving concerns about the building
, which former residents, neighbors
and others say was the subject of
numerous calls to 911.

Cliffside sinkhole repairs


estimated for two weeks
A large sinkhole in Pacifica that
damaged a cliffside trail on private
property and blocked access to a public beach should be repaired in a couple
of weeks, according to the company
that owns the land.
The property is the responsibility of
the owners of an apartment complex
called Oceanaire Apartment Homes on
Esplanade Avenue.
The owners, Irvine-based Trinity
Property Consultants, maintain the
trail and public access to the beach
under an agreement with the city,
Trinity vice president David Seiler
said.
The sinkhole appears to have
opened up after a compression joint
separated on a large pipe that runs
under the trail, Seiler said.
Seiler said he doesnt know yet who
the pipe belongs to, but the company
is working to determine ownership.
The sinkhole is near the site of an
apartment complex at 320 Esplanade
Ave. that was demolished in March
because of massive cliffside erosion
that threatened to pull the building
into the ocean.
Oceanaire Apartment Homes was

Wayne Bair, now 95, was accused of

him not guilty of murder.
The whole theory of the prosecution was murder and attempted suicide,
but nothing fit, said Charles Smith,
one of Bairs defense attorneys. She
was not sick, physically or mentally,
he was not sick.
Prosecutors were unable to pinpoint

press conference. There were no indications this was an active business.
City administrator Sabrina Landreth,
who also is in temporary charge of the
Oakland Police Department, said officials are compiling and reviewing
police records to determine how many
times officers responded to complaints
about the warehouse.
The deadliest structure fire in the
U.S. in more than a decade broke out
during a Dec. 2 late-night dance party
in the cluttered warehouse. It killed 36
people. The building had been converted to art studios and illegal living
spaces, and former denizens said it was
a death trap of piled wood, furniture,

snaking electrical cords and only two


exits.
Investigators said that they still
havent determined what started the
fire, though they say it didnt appear to
be intentionally set. Instead, investigators have been focusing on electrical appliances plugged into the rear of
the building where the fire started.
The electrical system is still part of
the analysis of what sparked the fire,
said Jill Snyder, the special agent in
charge with the U. S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The ATF has finished collecting evidence, Snyder said. The Oakland Fire
Department will prepare a final report
for handover to prosecutors.

Three boys in connection


with Woodside home burglary
Three boys were arrested in
Woodside last week after San Mateo
County sheriffs deputies allegedly
caught them with stolen property,
sheriffs officials said Tuesday.
At about 10:40 a.m. on Dec. 6,
deputies responded to a report of a
home burglary on the 200 block of
Woodside Drive.
A witness told the deputies that she
had seen three boys in red jackets running toward Alameda de las Pulgas,
sheriffs officials said.
The deputies caught up with the boys
at Alameda de las Pulgas and Maddux
Drive and found the stolen property.
The boys were arrested on suspicion
of burglary, possession of stolen
property and conspiracy, sheriffs officials said. They were taken to the San
Mateo County Youth Services Center
without incident.
Detectives linked the three boys to
two other residential burglaries in
Woodside, sheriffs officials said.
Anyone with information about the
unbelievable, Smith said. We had all
kinds of love letters and poems he
wrote to her. Its an absolute storybook romance.
On the night of the killing, Bair
called 911 at 8:06 p.m. to report he
was having difficulty breathing, prosecutors said.
When police responded, they found
him lying on the floor next to his bed
with cuts to his neck. His wife was on
the bed with fatal stab wounds.
Bair told responding officers that
someone had attacked him and his
wife, according to Geoff Carr, another
of his defense attorneys.
His memory of the event is poor, but
he remembers trying to push someone
off of him, then falling to the floor and
passing out, Carr said.
He woke up to see wife with her neck
cut, Carr said.
Carr said the front door to the cou-

Police search for two in


armed robbery, assault
Police are looking for two men suspected of a strong-arm robbery
Saturday night, according to South San
Francisco police officials.
At about 10:50 p.m., the victim was
walking to his car on the 300 block of
Armour Avenue when he was stopped
by a man pointing a handgun at him,
police said.
Just then, a second man grabbed him
from behind, put him in a headlock and
pressed a knife into his back, resulting
in some minor injuries.
The first man took the victims wallet and then both men fled, police said.
The first suspect is described by
police as a Hispanic man in his 20s,
about 5 feet 6 inches tall and with a
medium build. He was wearing a black
beanie, a black sweatshirt with the
hood pulled up, a white T-shirt and
black jeans.
The second man is described only as
an adult wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
ples home was unlocked on the night
of the murder but nothing appeared to
be taken from the home. He said the
defense attorneys noted during the trial
that there had been a similar burglary,
around the same time last year, of
another home in Foster City in which
nothing was taken.
Bair, a decorated World War II veteran, had been held without bail in San
Mateo County Jail since his arrest.
Smith said he picked his client up
from jail Monday night and took him
to a hospital for evaluation and treatment for some minor injuries he suffered in a fall.
The jail treated him very well,
Smith said. I applaud the sheriff for
the way they took care of Wayne.
Carr said members of Bairs family
attended most of the trial and will now
be helping him move to Southern
California where some of them live.

As Aleppo falls, Trump faces

Trump keeps betting


big on business leaders
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In selecting
Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson
as his secretary of state, Presidentelect Donald Trump is making the
same bet he asked voters to make
on him: that a track record of business accomplishment will translate into success in government.
Indeed, Trump, the first billionaire businessman to win the White
House, is broadly testing that
proposition across his administration. Hes tapped fast food executive Andy Puzder to lead the Labor
Department, billionaire investor
Wilbur Ross for Commerce, financier Steven Mnuchin as Treasury
secretary and Goldman Sachs
President Gary Cohn as his top
economic adviser.

But hes taking perhaps his


biggest chance on Tillerson,
pulling an executive from the
rough-and-tumble world of oil production into the delicate arena of
international diplomacy. If confirmed by the Senate and his
deep ties to Russia make that no
sure thing Tillerson will be at
the center of discussions over the
Syrian civil war, the intractable
pursuit of peace in the Middle East,
and potential conflicts with
China, given Trumps early questioning of longstanding U.S. policy toward Beijing.
To Trump, the deals Tillerson
has struck around the world for
Exxon, and the relationships he
has built doing so, are ample
preparation for the challenges he
would face as the nations top
diplomat.

WASHINGTON Aleppos fall


to Syrian government forces is
shaping up as the first major test
of President-elect Donald Trumps
desire to cooperate with Russia,
whose military support has
proven pivotal in Syrias civil
war. The death and destruction in
the city is only renewing
Democratic and Republican concern with Trumps possible new
path.
Though Trump has been vague
about his plans to address this
next phase in the nearly six-yearold conflict, hes suggested closer
alignment between U. S. and
Russian goals could be in order.
His selection Tuesday of Exxon
Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, who
has extensive business dealings
with Russia and ties to President

Vladimir Putin,
fueled further
speculation that
Trump will pursue a rapprochement
with
Moscow.
Indeed, Trump
was already tryDonald Trump ing to portray
Tillersons connections with Russia as a plus. In
talking points circulated on
Capitol Hill and obtained by the
Associated Press, Trumps transition team said Tillerson would
work closely with Russia on
defeating radical Islam but would
easily challenge Russia and other
countries when necessary.
President Putin knows Mr.
Tillerson means what he says, the
talking points say.
A warmer relationship could
alter U. S. policy on nuclear
weapons, sanctions, Ukraine and

i n n um e r a b l e
other issues
but none so
clearly
or
quickly
as
Syria,
where
Pres i den t
Bashar Assads
defeat of U.S.Vladimir Putin backed rebels
in Aleppo is
poised to be a turning point.
Assad and Russia are expected
seize the moment to try to persuade the U. S. to abandon its
flailing strategy of trying to prop
up the rebels in their battle to
oust Assad.
That decision will fall to Trump.
The president-elect has not commented or tweeted about the crisis
in Aleppo and widespread fears of
humanitarian disaster. Yet his previous comments on the broader
conflict suggest hes more than
open to a policy shift.

Tech leaders couldnt beat Trump; theyll meet him instead


By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN
FRANCISCO

Technology leaders are about to


come face-to-face with Presidentelect Donald Trump after fiercely
opposing his candidacy, fearful
that he would stifle innovation,
curb the hiring of computer-savvy
immigrants and infringe on consumers digital privacy.
On Wednesday, Silicon Valley
luminaries and other technology
leaders are headed to Trump Tower
in New York to make their peace

or press their case with Trump


and his advisers. The CEOs planning to attend include Apples Tim
Cook, Alphabets Larry Page,
Microsofts
Satya
Nadella,
Amazons Jeff Bezos, Intels Brian
Krzanich, IBMs Ginni Rometty,
Oracles Safra Catz and Cisco
Systems Chuck Robbins.
Facebooks chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, will be on
hand instead of its CEO, Mark
Zuckerberg, who was one of many
tech executives to express misgivings about Trumps pledge to
deport millions of immigrants.

It could be a prickly meeting.


No other industry was more open
in its contempt for Trump during
the campaign. In an open letter
published in July, more than 140
technology executives, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists skewered Trump as a disaster for innovation. And Trumps denigration
of Mexicans, his pledge to deport
millions of immigrants now living in the U.S. illegally, and his
crude remarks about women were
widely viewed as racist, authoritarian and sexist by an industry that
prides itself on its tolerance.

Arctics year of crazy extremes
as warming hits overdrive
WASHINGTON Warming at the top of
the world has gone into overdrive, happening twice as fast as the rest of the globe, and
extending unnatural heating into fall and
winter, according to a new federal report.
In its annual Arctic Report Card , the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration on Tuesday tallied record
after record of high temperatures, low sea
ice, shrinking ice sheets and glaciers. Study
lead author Jeremy Mathis, NOAAs Arctic
research chief, said it shows long-term
Arctic warming trends deepening and
becoming more obvious, with a disturbing
creep into seasons beyond summer, when
the Arctic usually rebuilds snow and ice.
Scientists have long said man-made climate change would hit the Arctic fastest.
Mathis and others said the data is showing
that is whats now happening.

TORONTO Canadas government said

pot.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has long
promised to legalize recreational pot use
and sales. If passed, Canada would be the
largest developed country to end prohibition of recreational marijuana. Voters in
California, Massachusetts, Maine and
Nevada voted Nov. 8 to approve the use of
recreational marijuana, joining Colorado,
Washington, Oregon and Alaska, where it
had previously been legalized.

could carry to 30 grams for recreational purpose and grow up to four plants.

Rebels to evacuate Aleppo in


surrender deal as fighting ends
By Zeina Karam and Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrian rebels reached a


cease-fire deal to evacuate from eastern
Aleppo in an effective surrender on
Tuesday, as Russia declared all military
action had stopped and the Syrian government had assumed control of the former
rebel enclave.
The dramatic developments, which
appeared to restore the remainder of what
was once Syrias largest city to President
Bashar Assads forces after months of
heavy fighting and a crippling siege, followed reports of mass killings by government forces closing in on the final few
blocks still held by the rebels.
Damascus confirmed the evacuation deal
and the U.N. envoy for Syria, Staffan de
Mistura, called for immediate access to the
former rebel enclave to confirm the end of
military operations and to oversee the safe
departure of tens of thousands of civilians
and opposition fighters. He was at the
Security Council where an emergency
meeting for Aleppo was underway.
Russias U. N. ambassador Vitaly
Churkin took to the floor near the end of
the session at the U.N. Security Council to
announce fighting had ended.
According to the latest information
that we received ... military actions in
eastern Aleppo are over, Churkin said.
The Syrian government has re-established control over eastern Aleppo.
Minutes earlier, he had announced that
all militants and members of their families, as well as those wounded in the fighting, were being evacuated through agreed
corridors in directions that they have chosen voluntarily, including the rebel
stronghold of Idlib province.

Residents of Aleppo share


tormented goodbyes online
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT First came the distress calls


from doctors in underground shelters and
morgues. Then residents under relentless
bombardment in the few remaining blocks
under rebel control in Aleppo began posting
emotional goodbyes on social media and in
widely circulated messages.
They wanted to have the final say in the
merciless civil war.
There is a problem with this planet, said
Monther Etaky, a 28-year old graphic
designer. This planet doesnt want people
to live as free or to live as humans.
The worlds view of the Syria conflict has
been largely driven by YouTube, Twitter and
Facebook making it one of the worlds

most documented wars through amateur


videos and coverage. This has given the
activists a major role in chronicling the war,
and in lobbying for the worlds response.
Nearly six years into the conflict, they
complained the world has been looking the
other way.
Why is this silence? People are being
eliminated, tweeted Abdulkafi Alhamdo, an
English teacher who has been a vocal critic
of President Bashar Assads government.
Then, he wrote: The last (message). Thanks
for Everything. We shared many moments.
The last tweets were from an emotional
father. Farewell (hash)Aleppo.
Alhamdo later went live on the videostreaming Periscope to say government
troops were approaching. I hope you can

Letters to the editor


Facebook and gentrification
Editor,
I believe Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg is either running a real
slick public relations campaign to
gain the trust and favor of the East
Palo Alto and East Menlo Park communities so that they will continue to
hand it to him on a silver platter or his
advisors have drastically misinformed
the king of Facebook (Facebook
gives $20M for affordable housing in
the Dec. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal).
The gentrication of East Palo Alto
and East Menlo Park is almost effectively complete as far as it pertains to
African-Americans of said community.
For years the barn door has been
open and now, right along side of their
bid to rezone our community, they say
they are going to try and shut the barn
door on gentrication. I wonder if
Zuckerberg looked inside the barn to
see if all the black residents had effectively left before he made such a noble
offer. Or, did his advisors fail to tell
him that we have already been priced
out of our community and locked out
of tech industry jobs?
East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park
have already been effectively gentried from roughly 90 percent black to
about 14 percent black.
How many of them will he bring
back among the 6,500 new employees? Will I be among them? I am still
an East Menlo Park resident. I would
like a job as a janitor or in maintenance, but I have a conviction.
Zuckerberg has said he believes we
deserve a chance; but his company
contracts those jobs out to agencies
who wont hire us. Is this by design,
to say we are welcome but keep the
door locked?
Most likely, the job I would like to
have will go to a newly documented
man from another country and not to
this longtime resident of East Menlo
Park. Is that still gentrication?

defamation of character, both illegal.
Next, ignorant and weak-minded
Americans, who let other people do
the thinking for them, and who have
the ability and education to verify
whether a posting is true but were too
lazy to do so, believed these lies and
false accusations and then passed them
on. These people are just as bad as the
original liars.
Spreading false accusations and lies
is divisive and dangerous. Spreading
false accusations and lies is not freedom of speech, is a form of cheating.
It is disgraceful and deceitful.
However, one of the false rumors and
lies that I especially got a kick out of
was the lie about Bill and Hillary
Clinton and Barrack and Michelle
Obama are all in a secret group that
has sex with minor children. And the
other one I chuckled at was the one
where Chelsea Clinton is corrupt
because she married a man whose
father is a billionaire, and all billionaires are corrupt. When I asked my
friend who told me that one, what
about Trump, he is a billionaire? The
answer was, Oh thats different.
Huh?
This election year really exposed
just how much racism, bigotry and
ignorance there is in America.

Russian
interference in the election
Editor,
The CIA has strong evidence that
there was Russian interference with the
U.S. presidential election. There were
13 mentions of Russian intrusion into
the election process between July 27
(when Donald Trump begged the
Russians to nd Clintons emails)
and the Oct. 19 presidential debates.
On Dec. 12, 2016, Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell supported
two regular order investigations,
one by the Senate Intelligence
Committee, and another the Armed
Services Committee. However, these
are not enough. A Senate Select
Committee must be convened, as such
committees have far more power to
subpoena documents and records than
regular order committees. The
Republican Party knew that RNC
emails also had been hacked, and that
particular information was withheld
from the American public. Likewise,
the FBI (in the form of the Comey letter) interfered with the election
process. A Senate Select Committee to
investigate the following questions is
a critical need.
1). Exactly which institutions did
the Russians interfere with?
2). When did these interferences

Not just hurling slurs


Editor,
I would like to respond to the online
comments from Nathan Hale and
Christopher Conway concerning my
recent letter What does make Trump
racist? in the Dec. 6 edition of the
Daily Journal.
Mr. Hale called my letter an excellent job of hurling slurs. But I gathered the information I listed by actually watching interviews with Donald J.
Trump over the years. I saw Lifestyles
of the Rich and Famous and the interview with Donald J. Trump and Marla
Maples concerning their new daughter
and his comments and gestures. I heard
his interviews with Howard Stern, I
watched his opening remarks concerning Mexicans when he announced his
run for president, I watched his rallies
televised on Fox News unedited or
altered, and I listened to the answers he
gave to questions and unsolicited comments concerning women during the
primary debates. I heard many times,
in his various rallies and speeches, his
view on the Muslim population in the
United States. I stated facts, and you
decided to levy a personal attack
against me.
Mr. Conway said: We have more
important things to do, like making
this country great again in his comment. I have always thought that this
country is great. It always has been,
and it always will be great. Ive
worked with veterans for a good portion of my adult life, and none of them
ever mentioned that this country was
anything but great. And if anyone were
to complain, I believe they earned the
right. I dont understand a patriot
who bashes our joint chiefs of staff, or
degrades the president, regardless of
political afliation.America is the
beacon of democracy to the entire

ive our joy, our interest, our knowledge, our

Erich Fromm.
We have read in the newspapers lately that the depression
and suicide rates among teenagers is at an all-time high. Of
course, there are many reasons why this has happened
not the least among them the way our culture and fastmoving world have basically ignored the importance of the
family, distorted education and become thoroughly
engrossed in the demanding cyber world that puts so much
pressure on them to conform to often unrealistic expectations. This column is dedicated to our most precious national resource our children.
Christmas, traditionally,
had been considered childrens time. Its that happy
holiday season when we
picture smiling and beaming little faces looking up
at Santa as they ask for
their hearts desire. We see
them later, sitting around
the Christmas tree eagerly
opening and enjoying their
gifts. During this season, as
we idolize children, bestowing them with toys and
other goodies, do you ever
wonder, in this materialistic society how many children are
getting the gift they need the most adequate time with
devoted and nurturing parents all year?
How many parents are so overscheduled that their children miss out not only on quantity time, but also quality
time with them? It has been reported that the average number of hours per week that parents spent with their children
in 1965 was 30. In 1985, it was just 17. Can you imagine
how little time parents spend with their children in 2016?
No wonder so many young people feel so isolated and
hopelessly alone in this confusing and threatening world
and feel that no one really appreciates and understands
them. As Bruno Bettelheim wrote in The Good Enough
Parent: For our emotional well-being we need to feel that
we belong and that those to whom we belong WANT us to
belong to them, and them to us. If we do not experience
this, and at an early age, we feel lost, even amid plenty.
All children, to be appreciated and valued and to make
this priceless connection, need to have the opportunity to
regularly enjoy open and relaxed communication with at
least one devoted and understanding adult. This is the kind
of interaction when the child can talk about anything (his
fears, troubles, joys, etc.) and he can freely be himself
without worrying that he may be rejected, criticized or
judged.
So what will parents be giving their children this year? I
hope that, besides the usual gifts from Santa, they will take
time for what their children need most a close, loving
relationship that includes much open, loving interaction.
This takes time and, if parents nd that time is short for
something so important, maybe an adjustment in priorities
is warranted.
Consider the following guidelines for good communication with children and teens gathered over the years from
many insightful child advocates.
Begin by making time to regularly interact with your
children when nothing else is intruding. Let them feel you
are totally there for them and you or they dont have your
minds on other things like digital devices. Severely limit
your time you and your child spend with digital devices and
TV. On PBS Newshour of Dec. 6, James Steyer of Common
Sense Media reported a study that found that, on average,
adults spend nine hours a day watching video screens. Yet
80 percent of these believe theyre good role models.
Love them unconditionally not with an implicit or
implied I will love you only if you live up to my expectations. Let them know you are there for them with open
arms and open mind. When the child wants to talk, do it at
that time if at all possible. It helps to ask pertinent questions to show you are interested and to keep the conversation going.
Create or improve upon some rituals like almost
always having a relaxed dinner together at home so all family members feel free to chat about their day. Cultivate a
healthy looseness about life. If we dont take things too
seriously and refrain from being uptight about minor incidents, our children are much more inclined to communicate
with us.
As Eda LeShan wrote in On Living Your Life, Whether
you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or any other spiritual
observance during the dark days of winter whatever your
own personal celebration may be in all of history there
had been a need for human beings to huddle together in the
dark and cold. What we remember at such times is that light
and warmth come from loving, and thats the only present
any of us really needs. And that is what communication
and connection are all about.

NEW YORK Major U.S. stock


indexes set records again Tuesday
as energy companies continued to
climb following international
deals that will cut oil production.
Big-name technology companies
like Apple and IBM also traded
higher as the Dow Jones industrial

Technology companies also
jumped. They had mostly lagged
the market during its post-election rally, but have moved higher
in the last few days.
J.J. Kinahan, TD Ameritrades

surged since the presidential election because after a long campaign, investors have a better idea
which policies the country will
adopt.

Giving the gift of financial


well-being at the holidays
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Instead of the latest toy or gadget,


some people are trying to give their
loved ones more financial security this
holiday season.
While its long been possible to
hand out cash, buy stock or contribute
to college savings plans, financial
institutions and retailers are making it
easier to bestow a gift with lasting
value.
Among them is Stockpile, a company that sells gift cards that can be
redeemed for stock, which is rolling
its products out to more than 14,000
stores this holiday season after seeing
success at other retailers. College savings plan administrators, which see
contributions peak at the holidays,
have been adding new ways to donate.
And Gift of College, which helps people to contribute to college savings
plans or pay down student loans,
began selling gift cards at Toys R Us
and Babies R Us nationally this
month.

Popular financial gifts


CASH
Cash is easy to get and easy to give, but it doesnt build
value the way other options do. And for a large gift, be
aware of the tax rules.
Giving a small amount of money each year is a
common estate planning tool, but gifts from one
person to another are capped by the IRS at $14,000 a
year. Anything above that needs to be reported by the
giver on their taxes and is subject to gift and estate
taxes.
You may want to consider taking that cash and putting
it in IRA, mutual fund or other longer-term investment.
COLLEGE SAVINGS
A popular suggestion by financial planners for gifts to
young children is contributing to a college savings
plan.
Grandparents, for the love of Santa, ask your kids if
they have a 529 account set up for your grandchildren,
said Kristin Sullivan, a financial planner in Denver. If
yes, offer to put some money into that and put
something small under the tree for the kiddos. If no,
offer to set one up with some small seed money.
529 college savings plans grow tax-free, and
withdrawals for educational expenses are also untaxed.
The giver may get a tax break as well.Thirty-four states
and the District of Columbia offer either a state income
tax deduction or tax credits for those contributions.
And nearly all plans allow contributions online or by
check, said Boozer.
Craig Larson, of Apple Valley, Minnesota, welcomed his
first grandchild a few months ago and is planning to
open a college savings account for her this Christmas.
Ive already spoiled this poor little girl to death, he
said. This is something tangible that is not going to
end up under the bed or lost at the beach, and shell be
able to see it growing.

To give you either need to establish a savings plan or


contribute to an existing one, which requires knowing
a few personal details.There are also third-party options
that require less legwork.
Gift of College, for one, lets people contribute to a
college savings account online or by buying a gift card
in stores that can be used for a contribution to 91
different 529 plans. These outside services do come
with fees and other limitations, so Boozer suggests
closely reading the fine print.
STUDENT LOAN PAYMENTS
The average debt at graduation for a bachelors degree
was $35,000 last year, so a worthwhile gift for many
young people may be helping pay that down.
A check will suffice or you can pay the lender directly.
Gift of College added student loans to its product
lineup, which lets people help pay the loans at a more
than a dozen lenders. Founder Wayne Weber said many
employers are offering this as a perk for workers.
STOCK
Giving stock is a way to encourage an interest in
investing over the long term.
The giver may avoid the capital gain consequences of
cashing in the shares themselves. But the tax
implications for the recipient are tricky depending on
their age, the value of the stock and more so it may
be worth consulting a professional.
People without brokerage accounts or those who want
to start small can even buy stock at the checkout line.
Stockpile, which is sold in about 40 retail chains like
Target, Safeway and Kroger, allows someone to buy a
gift card for a dollar amount worth of stock, rather than
the price for a share. Purchases can be as small as $1.
Putting it in gift-card form makes it easier to give stock
as a gift, says Dan Schatt, chief commercial officer of
Stockpile.

Mississippi court hears appeal in fight over worker lawsuits


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON, Miss. A worker is


fighting one of Mississippis largest
industries in a skirmish over who can
be sued when employees suffer on-thejob injuries.
The Mississippi Supreme Court
Tuesday heard arguments in a suit by
Quindon Thomas against Chevron
USA. Thomas was working for
American Plant Services, which provided contract workers at Chevrons
Pascagoula refinery, when he was
severely burned in 2012. A Chevron
employee opened a valve, releasing hot

water, steam and coke onto Thomas.


Typically, the bargain struck under
workers compensation is that employers will pay when workers are injured
and the employees, in turn, cant sue
over their injuries. But this case could
allow contract employees to collect
workers compensation, plus sue the
ultimate business owner. Many manufacturers now depend on contract workers in day-to-day operations.
Business groups, which have sought
to cut down on lawsuits, and trial
lawyers, who have largely lost those
fights, are closely watching the case. It
was argued before a court where large

sums have been spent by both sides to


elect justices in recent years. The
Mississippi Economic Council the
states chamber of commerce filed a
friend-of-the-court brief on Chevrons
behalf, while the Mississippi
Association of Justice, a trial lawyers
group, intervened on behalf of Thomas.
Thomas sued Chevron, and the
California-based oil giant responded
that it should be immune from being
sued because it had bought the workers
compensation insurance that covered
APS workers and paid more than $1 million in care and benefits to Thomas
after he was injured.

Cap, Sequoia play to tie


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

At last seasons Peninsula Athletic League


girls soccer coaches meeting, it was determined Half Moon Bay would move into the
Ocean Division, while Terra Nova would
replace the Cougars in the Bay Division.
Sequoia coach Melissa Schmidt said there
was talk of her team, which nished second
behind Terra Nova last season, being a second team to change divisions.
The second Bay Division team nearly relegated to the Ocean to make room for
Sequoia? Capuchino, the Cherokees opponent Tuesday afternoon.
No matter which team plays in which division, the bottom line is this: they are two
evenly matched sides. That much was evident as they battled to a 1-1 draw at Skyline
College.
Im happy with it, Schmidt said. It
would have been to nice nish off a couple
more opportunities, but Im sure theyre
saying they wish they could have nished
off more opportunities, too.
Its true both teams had a number of scoring chances throughout the back-and-forth
match, but it was Capuchino coach Rich
Medina who was left wanting more.
Extreme frustration, is how Medina
described his post-game mood. For us,
being a Bay Division team, we have to beat
teams like this.
It truly was a tale of two halves for both
teams. Capuchino (2-2-1 overall) dominated
possession and had the better scoring
chances during the opening 40 minutes.
Early on, the Mustangs took the attack to
the Cherokees and in the ninth minute,
Capuchino midelder Brianna Ledesma gave
her team a 1-0 lead on a brilliant individual
play.
The Mustangs earned a throw-in near the
corner ag deep in the Sequoia end. The ball
was thrown in and eventually a short, little
through ball was played to the end line.
Ledesma ran on, made a move back toward

Foul trouble spelled big trouble at Hillsdale


as the Fighting Knights were stunned on
their home court Wednesday in a 52-51 overtime loss to San Benito-Hollister.
Hillsdale center Isaiah Cozzolino was in
the midst of a dominant outing. The senior
scored a game-high 19 points, 14 of which
he produced in the first half. But when the big
man incurred his third foul early in the second
half, he was forced to sit until the fourth quarter. And by the time he got back on the floor,
Hollister had established a rhythm that would
ultimately define the game.
Obviously I want to be on the court helping out as much as I can, Cozzolino said. I
cant do that if I keep fouling out.
Cozzolino never did foul out, but had to
play tentatively in the post after getting
slapped with his fourth foul midway through
the fourth quarter. The 6-5 center went on to
total just three rebounds in the game. And
while Hillsdale outrebounded Hollister 29-24
in the contest, the Knights grabbed just five
boards through the fourth quarter and overtime combined.
So, when Hollister (2-3 overall) took the
ball down court trailing 51-50 with 18 seconds

Reuland, former Stanford


and NFL tight end, dies at 29
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The Baltimore


Ravens say former tight end Konrad Reuland
has died at the age of 29 following a brain
aneurism.
Coach John Harbaugh
opened his post-game
news conference after
Monday nights loss to
the New England Patriots
by announcing Reulands
death.
Reuland was attempting
to recover from a brain
Konrad
aneurism he suffered last
Reuland
month.
A
Ravens
spokesman says Reulands mother informed
the team that he died Monday.
Besides the Ravens, Reuland spent time
with the San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis
Colts and New York Jets. He played in 30
games total over three seasons, catching 12

passes for 90 yards.


Reuland signed with San Francisco as an
undrafted free agent out of Stanford in 2011. He
was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets
in 2012 and had 12 catches for 90 yards in two
seasons while being used as a blocking tight
end and H-back with childhood friend Mark
Sanchez at quarterback.
Reulands 2013 season was cut short when
he was placed on injured reserve with a knee
injury after playing in 10 games.
He signed with Indianapolis practice squad
in 2014, but was released and then signed by
Baltimore to the Ravens practice squad a few
weeks later. After being cut a few times,
Reuland was re-signed by Baltimore and promoted to the active roster last December.
Reuland became a free agent last offseason
when the Ravens rescinded their exclusive
rights tender offer in May. He signed with
Indianapolis in July for a second stint with the
Colts, who released him among their final
training camp cuts in August.

notched a double-double for Quinby, who finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Five of
Quinbys rebounds came in the four-minute
overtime period, three of which were offensive boards.
Weve got to take care of the ball,
Hillsdale head coach Brett Stevenson said.
Giving them extra possessions will bite us.
Hillsdale led most of regulation. Other than
Hollister scoring the games first bucket in
the opening minute, Hillsdale (3-2) held the
lead until the fourth quarter with 2:30 remaining in regulation.
After Hollister junior Oliver Garcia knocked
down a 3-pointer to give his team a 41-39
lead, however, the Haybalers didnt trail again
in regulation. Conversely, Hillsdale struggled
from beyond the arc, shooting 42.8 percent
from the field overall, including an abysmal 2
of 16 from 3-point range.

I felt like we were able to inside early and


establish the post, Stevenson said. Then we
had some looks at 3s and couldnt knock them
down.
The Knights saved one of their 3s for a dramatic close to regulation though. Trailing 4643 with 30 seconds remaining, the Knights
got a second chance after Sean Godtfredsen
misfired from the corner when senior Kiko
Sandoval hit the floor to scrap for an offensive board, pushing it out to Jordan Chan.
After a timeout, Hillsdale ran a pick-and-roll
with Cozzolino giving to Sean Godtfredsen
who knocked down the 3-pointer to send the
game to overtime.
I missed like five shots before that, Sean
Godtfredsen said. I figured if I shot it again,
Im not going to miss it a sixth time. I got
a good pass, Isaiah got me open and it fell.
Ive got to thank my teammates; Ive got to

thank them for that.


Sean Godtfredsen and his younger brother,
sophomore point guard Seth Godtfredsen,
opened the overtime working in tandem to
give the Knights a quick lead. Cozzolino won
the jump ball, pushing it to Seth who quickly
distributed to Sean for a quick layup.
The lead would change hands three more
times, but a dramatic steal by Chan saw the
junior go coast-to-coast for a lay-in with 18
seconds left to give Hillsdale a 51-50 edge,
but the Knights would never possess the ball
again.
Cozzolino said his foul trouble didnt affect
the outcome on Hollisters final game-winning possession.
Especially with the last couple seconds
like that, [fouling out] doesnt matter,
Cozzolino said. At that point, if Im out,
Im out.

the goal, slalomed a pair of Cherokee
defenders before pulling a shot back across
her body and just inside the near left post for
the goal.
Sequoia, which spent most of the rst half
moving the ball back and forth across the
eld and backward, took advantage of a poor
clearing pass from the Capuchino goalkeeper to tie the score in the 28th minute.
Mustangs sweeper Amaya Tomlinson
played a pass back to her goalkeeper with
Sequoias Samantha Caswell applying pressure. The goalkeeper one-timed a clearance
boot but it was intercepted by Sequoias
Bridget Carbonneau 25 yards away from
goal. She took a touch to settle the ball

RAIDERS
Continued from page 11
Weve got a long ways to go but today is a
great day and a great moment for Raider
Nation, he said.
Earlier this year, Mark Davis said he was
committed to moving the Raiders to Las
Vegas, where a $1.9 billion stadium project
has been approved. Oakland Mayor Libby
Schaaf vowed to continue working on a counter-proposal for the Raiders to stay at the
Oakland Coliseum.
A move to Nevada is not certain, although a
vote by the NFL on whether to allow the move
is possible as soon as January. Nevada will
raise $750 million from a hotel tax to fund the
stadium with billionaire casino mogul

before slotting a side-footed shot past the


goalkeeper for the strike.
In the second half, the momentum ipped
to the Cherokees, who had the better run of
play. Medina was disappointed to see his
team not only not make the adjustments he
asked for at halftime, he said there was just
a general lack of urgency throughout the
second half.
I thought we were more dangerous in the
rst half. We could get to the front, but we
couldnt get it through, Medina said. In
the second half, they just stopped moving.
Everything we talked about at halftime,
they didnt do.
Sequoia, on the other hand, started attacking with a lot more condence and it resulted in a number of strong scoring chances.
The Cherokees nearly caught the Mustangs
on the counterattack a couple of times, after
Tomlinson made one of her several runs into
the attack from her defensive position, but

the rest of the Capuchino defense did


enough to shut down many of those Sequoia
forays.
When the Cherokees did manage to get off
a shot, Julie Swedberg was there to make the
save for Capuchino. Swedberg nished with
six saves on the day, ve in the second half.
Sequoia wings Sara Osorio Valadez and
Carbonneau were wearing out the
Capuchino defense with their constant runs:
Cabonneau using her speed and Osorio
Valadez using her ability to hold and turn,
and then use her speed, to get past her mark.
Orchestrating things in the middle was
Mady FitzGerald, who consistently pierced
the Mustangs with her pinpoint passing.
Schmidt said she thinks the fact there had
been so much emphasis on possession in
practice, she blunted her teams ability to
go on the attack. In the second half, she felt
she did a much better job of making the
right pass at the right time.

I think we were reading it well (in the


second half), Schmidt said. They were
playing the right opportunities.
Over the nal ve minutes, both teams
had chances to net the winner, only to be
thwarted by the defense. In the 75th minute,
Carbonneau stole the ball from Tomlinson
deep in the Capuchino end and broke in on
goal. She red off a shot from the top of the
penalty box, but Swedberg was there to
push the shot wide.
Three minutes later, Capuchino had its
chance to win, catching the Cherokees on
an odd-man, 3-on-1 counterattack. Ledesma
received the ball near mideld, turned and
carried into the attacking third. She sent a
diagonal through ball that Sierra Cannon
ran onto from the right wing. With a step on
her defender, she broke on goal, but her shot
was hit well over the top of the goal.
I thought it was a balanced game,
Schmidt said.

Sheldon Adelson contributing $650 million


and the Raiders and NFL kicking in $500 million.
The Raiders must get approval from 24 of
the 32 NFL owners to move. NFL owners will
receive an update on the stadium situation
when they meet in the Dallas area Wednesday.
The Raiders also have the option of moving
to the Los Angeles area, where they can share
a facility with the recently relocated Rams.
A spokesman for the Raiders did not return
requests for comment.
Former Los Angeles Raiders great Marcus
Allen made an emotional pitch to the Alameda
County Board of Supervisors, saying that
Oakland and the Raiders were meant to be
together.
If this team does not remain here there will
be a black hole in the city of Oakland, he
said. You cant let that happen.
Other speakers urged caution even as they
pledged support. They said officials should

negotiate jobs and affordable housing for residents in east Oakland where the Coliseum is
located, given the soaring cost of housing
throughout the city.
A sticking point was that Alameda County
and Oakland still need to retire nearly $100
million in debt incurred for remodeling the
current stadium to woo the team back from Los
Angeles in 1995.
The parties have identified $1.25 billion in
potential financing for a project that may cost
upward of $1.3 billion for a 55,000-seat stadium that could include mixed-use retail in the
future.
Lotts group would contribute $400 million, with the NFL and the Raiders contributing $500 million.
The city of Oakland would contribute $200
million for infrastructure such as storm drains
and roadway parking. The money would be
generated from bonds paid back from revenue
created from the stadium and its surrounding

commercial development.

Knee injury ends Kilgores season

Raiders are
focused on
postseason

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Running back Latavius


Murray isnt concerned about the Oakland
Raiders suffering through any type of hangover after their six-game winning streak
ended last week in Kansas City.
With a chance to secure a playoff spot
Sunday against San Diego, Murray said, the
Raiders have moved on and are focused solely on the Chargers.
Were looking forward to everything that
we have in front of us Murray said Tuesday.
Our goals, theyre still right in front of us.
Thats how we re-focus. We want to be playing postseason so we can give ourselves a
chance to play for the big one. It starts
Sunday.
The 21-13 loss to the Chiefs dropped the
Raiders out of sole possession of first place
and into a tie with Kansas City in the AFC
West.
More critically, Oakland fell from the No.
1 seed in the AFC to No. 5, meaning that
unless the standings change the Raiders will
be playing all of their postseason games on
the road provided they get there.
The breakdown is simple: A win against
the Chargers and the Raiders (10-3) are in
the playoffs for the first time since 2002. A
loss and they could still get in this week,
though theyll need help from a handful of
other teams to do so.
When the Raiders edged the Chargers earlier this season at the Coliseum on Oct. 9,
Murray did not play because of a toe injury.
His absence was glaring as Oakland was held
to just 89 yards on the ground while rookies
Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington
filled in.
Murray is completely recovered now and
coming off his second 100-yard game of the
season. He is also tied for second in the NFL
with 12 rushing touchdowns and has a 5.5
yard per-carry average in four career games
against San Diego.
Yet Murray was not involved in one of the
biggest plays of the game last week against
the Chiefs when Oakland offensive coordi-

nator Bill Musgrave called for a deep pass
that fell incomplete. A false start penalty on
fourth down forced the Raiders to pass again
and that was also incomplete.
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said earlier
this week that he wished the team had run the
ball in that situation, though Murray defended the call.
I know everybody wants to talk about
what we maybe should have did, Murray
said. Maybe its one of those things that
Jack wishes he would have done differently
but I trust in everything that he does and
every call that comes from downstairs. If it
did work then everybody wouldnt be talking
about what we should have done. Thats how
the game goes.
Oakland is expected to have left guard
Kelechi Osemele back in the lineup after the
6-foot-5, 336-pound offensive lineman had
to be hospitalized in Kansas City due to a
kidney stone.
Osemele said he was awakened in the middle of the night by the pain and was eventually sent to the hospital where it took 12
hours to pass the kidney stone.
It was very frustrating, Osemele said.
Its pretty painful. I wouldnt wish that on
anybody.

SANTA CLARA The 49ers placed center


Daniel Kilgore on season-ending injured
reserve Tuesday.
Kilgore injured a knee in the first half of
the 49ers overtime loss to the New York
Jets on Sunday after starting the first 13
games of the season. The news comes a day
after the team lost Vance McDonald for the
remaining three games with a shoulder
injury.
Taking Kilgores place in the starting
lineup will be 2014 third-round pick Marcus
Martin.
Kilgore missed 14 games over the previous two seasons after suffering a fractured
ankle midway through 2014, his first year
as the starter. He appeared in the final five
games last season after a lengthy recovery
and started during the final three weeks.
Coach Chip Kelly was forced to play
reserves at three positions along the offensive line for most of the game Sunday.
Left guard Zane Beadles slid to left tackle
in place of Joe Staley, who was out with a
hamstring injury. Andrew Tiller played left

guard and Martin went


from left guard, where he
started the game, to center after Kilgore went
down.
The 49ers had a season-high 248 yards rushing, with 193 coming
from
Carlos
Hyde,
Daniel Kilgore against New York. The
Jets came into the game
with the NFLs fourth-ranked run defense.
There were a little bit of communication
issues at times just because Danny has such
a command in terms of what we do, Kelly
said. But, overall, I thought those guys for
the amount of time that they had to practice
there did a good job.
Taking Kilgores spot on the roster is former practice squad member Alex Balducci,
who was brought in as an undrafted free
agent in the spring from Oregon. Balducci
is learning to play center and both guard
positions.
The 49ers (1-12) next travel to play the
Falcons (8-5) and will try to snap their franchise-record 12-game losing streak.

became a U.S. citizen during a naturalization ceremony Tuesday.
The 31-year-old from Curitaba,
Brazil, was among thousands who

A quick and easy moussaka


By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A friend recently became a first-time


grandmother, and when we went out to lunch
she was exhausted. She had been cooking
meals for the new parents, and collapsed
into her chair saying she hadnt finished
making a moussaka before she had to leave.
You, she said, could do the world a big
service by coming up with a quick and easy
moussaka.
Moussaka is, in short, an eggplant and
meat casserole, one of Greeces national
dishes. I did ask why she picked such a
labor-intensive dish to make the young
couple, who probably would have been
grateful with a baked ziti. But the notion of
a simple moussaka stuck in my mind.
I started looking at moussaka recipes, and
remembered why I never make it. The
bechamel sauce; the slow-simmered tomato
sauce; the thinly sliced, salted and fried eggplant (in some cases lining the casserole
pan!); the sliced, sautied or mashed potatoes; the finely chopped lamb shoulder. I
started to feel tired just thinking about it.
But I owed my friend a recipe.
You can make all the components a day
ahead and then assemble and bake.
This is a nice dish for holiday entertaining comforting and indulgent at the same
time and you can assemble the casserole
early in the day and bake it just before dinner. Serve with a big, leafy, green salad.
I cant yet picture the day I am cooking as
a grandmother. But for the first time, I can
envision making moussaka without needing a vacation afterward.

This is a nice dish for holiday entertaining comforting and indulgent at the same time
and you can assemble the casserole early in the day and bake it just before dinner.

SHORTCUT MOUSSAKA
Serves 8
Start to finish: 2 hours
1 1/2 pounds Japanese eggplant, peeled
and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 or 5
eggplants)
2 pounds Yukon golden potatoes, peeled
and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds ground lamb

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Pinch nutmeg (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to
taste
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (optional)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

a 2- or 3-quart shallow baking dish. Spray
two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick
cooking spray and places the cubed eggplant on one of the baking sheets, the potatoes on the other. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of
the olive oil over each of the sheets and
toss well. Spread out the vegetables in a
single layer, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 40 minutes, until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 more tablespoon olive oil,
and saute the onion and garlic until tender,
about 4 minutes. Add the ground lamb and
saute until the lamb is completely browned,
about 6 minutes. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg
(if using) and season with salt and pepper.
Add the crushed tomatoes and bay leaf,
bring to a simmer (there wont be much liquid, but enough to bubble slightly), and
cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and chopped
parsley.
While the lamb sauce is simmering, in a
small bowl combine the eggs, creme fraiche
or yogurt and half and half. Season with salt
and pepper and stir to blend well.
Place the cooked potatoes in the prepared
baking dish, spreading them out over the
bottom, and use a fork or potato masher to
lightly crush them. Remove the bay leaf
and discard, then distribute the lamb in the
tomato sauce over the potatoes. Finish with
an even layer of the baked eggplant. Evenly
pour the cream mixture over the casserole,
then sprinkle the grated cheese over it.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until bubbly and
browned on top. Serve hot.

public consumption.
Peninsula Ballet Theatre is currently
preparing to celebrate its upcoming 50th
anniversary, giving this years Nutcracker
season added significance as well as setting
the stage for a newer, more modern endeavor
in their first ever futuristic hip-hop
Nutcracker.
The company began as a professional performance theater, but quickly saw the need to
develop a school.
It was obvious that children coming in
didnt have the technique and experience,
said PBT Executive Director Christine Leslie.
The school and its training proved to be a
community resource, allowing an outlet for
aspiring young dancers to not just rush
through performances and rehearsals, but to
focus on refining and developing their technique in preparation for the professional
world. Although the school was shuttered for
a large chunk of time, from 1990 to 2010, it
has resumed its mission in full force, currently training about 200 children and 100
adults.

SUPPORT
Continued from page 1
Dec. 14, and the document is available for
the consideration of all county districts.
Beyond the protections for undocumented
students, the resolution also expresses an
unwillingness to offer any information
detailing religion, in response to Trump
claiming he was interested in establishing a
registry of Muslims living in the United
States.
We will not cooperate with that, said
Friedman. If he tried to do that, we would
fight it.

LOCAL
The schools been growing and doing
great, Leslie said. There was a lot of pentup demand for more structure.
Dance studios and classes of all sorts are a
widely available hobby for children, particularly in the Bay Area, but there are few with
the resources and motivation to help their
truly passionate students prepare for the professional world. Most arent affiliated with
professional companies and performances,
instead using small recitals as the sole means
to prepare students for performing professionally.
Recitals are a very, very important of a
students learning, Leslie said. But our productions arent recitals.
The emphasis on professional performance standards and experience isnt the only
way PBT dancers are preparing to move ahead
in their careers in an ever-evolving dance
landscape. As Leslie notes, ballet training is
typically fundamental for professional
dancers serious about their careers, regardless
of what style of dance they prefer. The value
of ballet as an effective means of expression
and performance has been brought into question by more modern dance forms and theory,
but its value as a system of training the body
has been nearly universally accepted by
dancers from all backgrounds. However,
Leslie also notes that perfecting ballet techFriedman said some of his perspective on
the matter was swayed by attending a student rally immediately following Trump
winning the presidency, when hundreds
walked out of class and came together in San
Mateos Central Park to share their concerns.
Hearing the words of so many people,
including the students, has had an impact on
me, he said.
Since the rally, students have continued
expressing their fears regarding potential
threats to their quality of life at district campuses, said Rebecca Bucher, a student counselor at Mills and Capuchino high schools.
In response, San Mateo High School is
slated to host an event next week offering
advice and guidance to district students and

nique is no longer enough to ensure professional success in todays highly competitive
world of professional dance.
A dancer in todays world cant just be a
tap dancer, cant just be a modern dancer,
Leslie said.
For this reason, PBT dancers are encouraged to explore the wide world of dance outside of ballet. Besides ballet, the studio
offers a number of other techniques, ranging
from tribal belly dance and flamenco to, of
course, hip-hop.
As one of the most recent additions to the
list of indoctrinated dance techniques, hiphop is having its time in the sun, thanks to
popular culture and an underlying philosophy that many see as more welcoming and
approachable than the strict, sometimes
archaic tenets of ballet and other more traditional dance forms.
Hip-hops differences and similarities to
ballet will be particularly highlighted in
PBTs hip-hop Nutcracker, making its debut
at Redwood Citys Fox Theatre, also home to

families who may fear enforcement under a


Trump presidency.
The event will feature a presentation from
local immigration attorneys with expertise
regarding potential policy changes, and
Bucher said she will address the mental
health concerns faced by some.
There is a lot more anxiety, depression
and stress, she said. Either from undocumented students or those with family members who may be undocumented.
A key focus of the event Monday, Dec. 19,
will be encouraging families potentially
threatened by Trumps policy to establish
an emergency plan in case a student or a relative faces deportation, said Bucher.
Though Trumps commitment to the rhetoric expressed on the campaign trail

PBTs ballet performances, on Dec. 16.


According to Leslie, the new shows
beginning will be based heavily on the choreography and scene set in their long-established
ballet
performance,
and
Tchaikovskys music will remain central.
Rather than adhering strictly to the
Nutcracker canon, however, the hip-hop version will see Clara enter the distant future
upon falling asleep Christmas Eve, rather
than a symbolic dream world. In addition to
PBT dancers, it will feature 17 established
dancers from hip hop crews The Tribe and
Poisen.
On Dec. 17 and 18, the traditional ballet
Nutcracker will be performed, credited to Bay
Area native and prolific choreographer
Carlos Carvajal. According to Leslie, even
the traditional Nutcracker performance is a
manifestation of a gentler, more joyful shift
in the ballet world, which has gone through
phases of numerous unhealthy pressures and
expectations of its dancers. She notes that
the performance is warm, inviting and friendly, not as stiff and sometimes dark as other
Nutcracker performances can be, and that
PBT strives to keep its dancers healthy and
happy.
It should be a joy, Leslie said. I think
thats probably the key to the last 50 years,
and will be for the next 50 years.
remains to be seen, Bucher said a toll is
already being felt at district campuses.
Right now it is just kind of sitting with
our own uncertainty and helping the students as well, she said.
To that end, Friedman said he could not
speculate what the boards potential
approval of the motion may mean for
addressing any specific policies implemented by Trump, but said it is clear officials will stand behind their students.
Should some of these things come to
happen, it lets our students, families and
communities know that we dont believe in
any of this stuff, he said.

After a heavymeal, snickerdoodles are perfect


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The holiday season is such a beloved time


of year. The weather turns cool and the snow
begins to fall; we spend dedicated time with
our family and friends; and children experience old family traditions for the first time.
At homes across the country, carefully
wrapped plates of homemade cookies are
passed among friends and neighbors to celebrate a year of friendship and community.
A familys cookie plate is as unique as they
are, and so often you can identify the sender
by the treats on the plate.
Special holiday cookie recipes are an old
tradition. In the Middle Ages, spices, butter, and sugar were prized possessions, too
expensive for everyday use. At the holidays, cooks would use these ingredients to
make small extravagances to share with
friends and family. Cookies spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove were common
and have stood the test of time. It is
believed that the first gingerbread men
came from the time of Elizabeth I, who
asked for the cookies to be shaped like the
men in her court.
Cookie recipes have evolved a great deal
since the time of Elizabeth, and every family has their list of must-bake cookies. One
standout holiday favorite is the snickerdoodle, a sugar cookie that is rolled in cinnamon-sugar before being baked. It is recognizable by its slightly cracked exterior that
lets its chewy interior shine through.
Unlike many sugar cookies that are unleavened and rolled for cutting, our snickerdoodles contain both baking soda and cream of
tartar. Because they are so mild in flavor,
they often have a characteristic tanginess
that can be attributed to those ingredients. A standout holiday treat is the snickerdoodle, a sugar cookie that is rolled in cinnamon-sugar

MARINA

dents to remain in their houseboats for


another 15 years. The plan fell apart
when some residents did not agree to
conditions within the draft legislation, causing state legislators to drop
an urgency bill to keep the marina
intact.

Continued from page 1


The plan outlines an assessment of
available housing alternatives, eligibility criteria for relocation assistance
and a timeline during which eligibility
interviews and property appraisals
will take place. According to the plan,
the city will allocate relocation assistance funds to residents depending on
whether they own the vessel they keep
at the marina or are a tenant, as well as
whether they qualify for additional
financial assistance as senior, lowincome, veteran or disabled residents.
Residents may qualify for relocation
advice, referrals to another marina or
land-based housing, reimbursement
for moving their vessel and their possessions. They will also receive an
offer to sell their houseboat to the city
based on an independent appraisal and
receive financial incentives if they
agree to expedite relocation.
Based on commentary on an earlier
plan draft provided at a November
meeting with Docktown residents, city
staff included two amendments.
Addressing concerns that residents
would not have the option to seek their
own appraisals, the city added this
option, as well as an appeal process.
Docktown Marina is just east of
Highway 101 with about 90 residents.
Opposition Monday ranged from
concerns about its design to outrage
about the relocation of residents.
Docktown resident James Jonas
expressed deep dissatisfaction with the
citys plan to assess the value of
Docktown vessels.
When a city relocates an entire
neighborhood, they need to compensate the neighborhoods for the value
of their homes, he said. The gist of
this discussion is around the appraisal
value of their homes. The city has said
that they wish to assess the value on
the value of the structure, or its current
state. We believe it should be done
based on comparable value.
Diana Reddy criticized the relocation
benefits for their failure to meet the
financial needs of displaced residents.
I ask you to hold the image of
Ghost Ship, and now hold the image of
Docktown. Many of these homes are
floating homes for low-income veterans, teachers, musicians and artists,
she said. Having relocation benefits
is great, but they do not provide comparable housing. The relocation benefits will not keep them in Redwood
City where they need to be.
Others directed blame toward the city
for mishandling the situation and misleading residents regarding their
affordable housing options in
Redwood City over the years.
Lee Callister, a Docktown resident

Citys role, stance

and landlord since 2008, accused the


city of knowingly violating the law.
We are now being made to look like
law breakers. You [the city] allowed us
to be here and take our rent. How can
we be illegal when we have signed
leases with the city and pay you rent?
You say we are violating the terms of
the grant of the public trust. Sorry, you
are the ones doing that. You let that
happen, he said.
Pat Black, who has lived in
Docktown marina since 1990,
explained that the State Lands
Commissions determination in relation to the citys lawsuit settlement
earlier this year was a surprise to her
and other residents.
What I did today is I found my rental
agreement with Docktown Marina.
Docktown had a 50-year lease, up in
2007. I always ask questions. I dont
park in a red zone. Im a rule player. I
checked out the details. [In my rental
agreement] the marina had an agreement with the city of Redwood City.
My house is registered with the DMV
and I have a certificate to prove that.
The county assessor I have a letter
from him. So now we have two government agencies the second is the
California Department of Housing and
Community Development. I have a
certificate from them. Chicago title. I
had a title search done to make sure
everything was OK. Why didnt anyone say State Lands? We just heard
about it, she said.

Lawsuit
The plan was drafted over the course
of several months to fulfill the requirements of a lawsuit the city settled earlier this year. According to the $4.5
million settlement with attorney and
Docktown neighbor Ted Hannig,
Docktown is considered to be a violation of the public trust. The settlement
required the city to create a plan that
would both relocate residents and clean
up any hazardous materials left over
from old industrial uses along
Redwood Creek.
The Final Docktown Plan appeared
on the councils December agenda following an attempt to find a legislative
solution earlier this year to allow resi-

Former mayor Daniela Gasparini


acknowledged the citys role in the
Docktown issue over the years, reiterating points in a guest perspective
Decision Needed on Docktown
Marina Relocation, published in this
newspaper Monday, encouraging the
council to approve the plan.
We were aware later on in our council days that we had an issue, the permanent residential issue with
Docktown. Unfortunately, as council
went on, we didnt deal with the issue
as you have it before you. That was a
disservice to the residents of
Docktown, she said.
Councilmembers reflected on the
complexity of the issue, but agreed
that the time had come for the city to
bring the marina into compliance with
state law.
Councilwoman Shelly Masur sympathized with residents and expressed a
desire to focus on affordable housing
in the future.
I cant imagine how the residents
are feeling. Its been a complex challenge to work on. Affordable housing
is also complex. Im looking forward
to creating solutions for affordable
housing in general, she said.
Councilwoman Janet Borgens
emphasized the urgency of the citys
legal obligations.
There is no good timing for this.
There was never any good timing for
this, she said. I have been studying
this for almost a year now. We cannot
pursue this right now. We have legal
deadlines as a city. If we dont meet
those legal deadlines, we put every
single resident in this community at
jeopardy.
Vice Mayor Ian Bain voiced his support for the Docktown community, but
acknowledged the citys difficult position in facing the law.
There was one issue at the heart of
the lawsuit, which had to do with the
State Lands policy, which has been
consistent over the years that liveaboards are not allowed at Docktown,
he said. Its not something that I
wanted to agree with, or accept, but all
of the legal advice that we have
received has told us that that is the
issue.
Bain further reflected on the difficulties with finding an alternate solution.
Its like being in a locked room
where you are trying to find a way out,
he said. This is a tragedy and Im
heartbroken to have to support this
tonight.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Janet Lin Huang
aka Yueh Yu Lin Huang
Case Number: 16PRO00562
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Janet Lin Huang aka
Yueh Yu Lin Huang. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Yumi Huang, aka
Yu Mei Huang in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Scott
R. Hodges be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of
the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the
Independent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative will
be required to give notice to interested
persons unless they have waived notice
or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 10, 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.

otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Jerome Norman Post. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Julie Anne Kress, in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Julie
Anne Kress 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 03, 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.
