Mayor: Money needed for improved facilities

Burlingame official favors seeking tax to build rec center; struggles with City Hall
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As the calendar flips to a new

year, Burlingame residents should
prepare for a tax measure to be
potentially floated as officials
seek ways to finance major public
facility overhauls.

or bond to pay
fo r co n s t ruction of a new
recreation center, as well as
b adl y n eeded
renovations to City Hall.

People wouldnt be in favor of
something like City Hall, said
Ortiz. If we do the rec center, I
think we can get some support.
The problem is that City Hall is a
mess.
Officials have identified a variety of structural and operational
issues plaguing City Hall, such as
concerns regarding its seismic
stability, as well as inadequate

heating and air conditioning or
sprinkler systems.
That building is a real problem
but the real trick to it is we cant
raise money because the voters
just arent interested, he said.
He noted a willingness has been
shown by potential voters in an
upcoming election to support a
finance measure paying for con-
struction of a new recreation center. Officials have said the existing community center is antiquated and cannot accommodate
demands from residents.
According to a presentation by
pollster Brian Godbe last month,
62 percent of likely voters in the
upcoming fall election would

School officials eye stricter dog rules

Belmont-Redwood Shores educators consider campus canine enforcements
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Dog owners in Belmont and Redwood

Shores hoping for their canine companions
to enjoy unrestricted access to the fields
and open spaces on local school campuses
may find themselves barking up the wrong
tree.
The
Belmont-Redwood
Shores
Elementary School District Board of
Trustees is set to soon consider a policy
limiting the hours when mans best friend
may be permitted on school grounds.
Under the proposed amendment, dogs
would be barred from schools during class
hours but they would be allowed on leashes
in the early morning until 8 a.m. and after 4
p.m. There would be no time limits enforced
during days when school is out.
Board President Robert Tashjian said he
expects there will be substantial community
interest in the proposal brought under an
effort to implement a standard policy across
all district schools.
Im sure it will be a lively discussion,
he said, of the board meeting set for
Thursday, Jan. 12.
Some parents have advocated in favor of
the policy, as a means of assuring student
safety, said Tashjian, who noted others are
interested in preserving their dogs ability
to run free on the districts athletic fields.
He said the challenge for school officials
is addressing the competing wishes of some
local residents and the school community.
We are hoping to come up with a policy
Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
that balances community interest and
school interests of safety first of all, and
cleanliness second of all, he said.
Tashjian said he has already started to
receive emails from both sides of the issue
to express their wishes and concerns.
For his part, Tashjian said he believes it
makes sense to keep dogs off school campuses when students might be present.
Should the pets enjoy limited hours of playing on school grounds, Tashjians primary
concern is owners being diligent in fulfilling their waste removal duties.
I would like to keep the dogs off campus
during school hours, he said. To the
extent they are allowed on campuses, we
need to make sure the owners clean up.
Tashjian suggested he may favor ultimately moving ahead with a pilot program
before establishing any lasting policy
amendments.
We could do something like implementing policy and see how that goes for a while
and then revisit it, he said.
Dogs are allowed on some campuses during school hours currently, and officials
would like to set universal regulations for
all campuses. Under the proposed amendments, dogs at schools always must be kept
on a leash thats no more than 6 feet long.
Enforcement would fall to school princi-
pals, according to a district report.

This is something the principals and
staff started talking about, because the regulations for hours on campuses are inconsistent across the schools, said Tashjian.
Should an owner disobey the new restrictions, they could face prohibitions from
bringing their pets to district property,
according to the report.
If the proposal is approved, signs would
be posted notifying the school community
and residents of the changes, according to
the report.
Dog are allowed off leash in a park adjacent to Cipriani Elementary School on a
slice of land previously owned by the
school district, said Tashjian.
In all, Tashjian said he believes the issue
is ripe for further consideration by district
officials.
This is a good starting point, he said.
In other business at the meeting, the
board will consider approving a resolution
expressing support for undocumented students and an unwillingness to share private
details regarding a students immigration
status.
Some other local districts have passed
similar proposals in an effort to offer protections to students who may feel threatened
by immigration reform policies proposed
by President-elect Donald Trump.

School District Board of Trustees meets 5

Carrie Fisher dies at 60
By Sandy Choen
LOS ANGELES Carrie Fisher, a

daughter of Hollywood royalty who
gained pop-culture fame as Princess
Leia in the original Star Wars and
turned her struggles with addiction and
mental illness into wickedly funny
books, a hit film and a one-woman
stage show, died Tuesday after falling
ill aboard a flight last week. She was
60.
Carrie was one of a kind ... brilliant,
original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely, Star
Wars co-star Harrison Ford said in a
statement.
Fisher, the daughter of actress
Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie
Fisher, had been hospitalized since
Friday, when paramedics responded to a
report of a patient in distress at Los
Angeles airport. Her family gave no
details on the emergency, but media
reports said she had suffered a heart
attack.
Thank you to everyone who has
embraced the gifts and talents of my
beloved and amazing daughter,
Reynolds wrote on her Facebook page
Tuesday. I am grateful for your
thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. Love Carries
Mother.
Fisher made her feature film debut
opposite Warren Beatty in the 1975 hit
Shampoo. She also appeared in
Austin
Powers,
The
Blues
Brothers,
Charlies
Angels,
Hannah and Her Sisters, Scream 3

and When Harry Met Sally ...
But Fisher is best remembered as the
headstrong Princess Leia in the original Star Wars in 1977, her hair styled
in futuristic braided buns. She uttered
the immortal phrase Help me Obi-Wan
Kenobi, youre my only hope.
She reprised the role in Episode VII
of the series, Star Wars: The Force
Awakens in 2015, and her digitally
rendered image appears in the newest
installment, Rogue One: A Star Wars
Story.
She was extremely smart; a talented
actress, writer and comedienne with a
very colorful personality that everyone loved, Star Wars creator George
Lucas said in a statement.
In Star Wars she was our great and
powerful princess - feisty, wise and full
of hope in a role that was more difficult
than most people might think.
Fisher long battled drug addiction
and mental illness. She said she
smoked pot at 13, used LSD by 21 and
was diagnosed as bipolar at 24. She
was treated with electroshock therapy
and medication.
In 1987, her thinly veiled autobiography Postcards From the Edge
became a best-seller. It was adapted
into a 1990 movie starring Shirley
MacLaine and Meryl Streep.
More books followed: Delusions
of Grandma, Surrender the Pink,
The Best Awful, Shockaholic and
this years autobiography, The
Princess Diarist, in which she
revealed that she and Ford had an
affair on the Star Wars set.

Fishers one-woman show, Wishful
Drinking, which she had performed
across the country since 2006, was
turned into a book, made its way to
Broadway in 2009 and was filmed for
HBO in 2010.
Little was off-limits in the show. She
discussed the scandal that engulfed her
superstar parents (Fisher ran off with
Elizabeth Taylor); her brief marriage to
singer Paul Simon; the time the father
of her daughter left her for a man; and
the day she woke up next to the dead
body of a platonic friend who had overdosed in her bed.
Im a product of Hollywood inbreeding. When two celebrities mate, something like me is the result, she said in
the show. At another point, she
cracked: I dont have a problem with
drugs so much as I have a problem with
sobriety.
Ever ready to satirize herself, she
played Carrie Fisher a few times, as in
David Cronenbergs dark Hollywood

SACRAMENTO With six new gun control bills signed

by Gov. Jerry Brown in July, sales of semi-automatic rifles
have more than doubled in California over last year.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that the
California Department of Justice shows 364,643 semiautomatic rifles had been sold by Dec. 9 whereas 153,931
rifles were sold last year.
Rifles with bullet buttons for the quick swap of ammunition magazines and other soon-to-be banned features have
also skyrocketed. Statewide sales are up 40 percent by early
December.
The new gun controls reclassified semi-automatic rifles
that have certain features as assault weapons. The features
added to the prohibited list include a protruding or forward
pistol grip, a thumbhole stock, a folding stock or a flash
suppressor. Assault weapons have been banned in
California since 1989.
Nearly one million firearms were purchased in California
as of Dec. 9, the most recent state data available, compared
to more than 700,000 guns sold in all of 2015. Sales have
likely soared beyond one million guns since then, the
newspaper reported.
Steven Serna came into Pacific Outfitters sporting goods
store in Ukiah last week to buy a semi-automatic rifle
before new gun control legislation limits the guns features
in California.
He wanted to purchase an AK-47 rifle but there were none
to be found at the store. The deer hunter lamented that he
should have purchased one earlier this year.
Todd Lyly also visited the store last week to talk with his
friends behind the gun sales counter about the new laws.
Lyly said he will convert his weapons so they are complaint with the new regulations, most likely by installing a
fixed stock.
Water officials: Mountain

snowpack low, but its early
By Scott Smith
FRESNO Its too soon to declare an end to Californias

five-year drought despite the heaviest rain in three decades
falling early in the wet season, officials said Tuesday.
The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides roughly
one-third of Californias water supply, measures at 72 percent of normal for water content, according to the states
Department of Water Resources electronic monitors.
The weather during next the three months will determine
if California enters a sixth year of drought that has led residents to let their lawns turn brown and left some farmers
without water to irrigate their crops.
California needs sustained above-average precipitation
and a decent snowpack to overcome the previous years of
drought, State climatologist Michael Anderson said in a
statement.
California had the wettest October in 30 years with heavy
rains in the north end of the state, raising hopes of a robust
wet season to follow. December delivered a rebound from
below-average rain in November, he said.
Forecasters, however, say that theyll know better if
California is rebounding from the yearslong drought by
April 1, when the snowpack is typically its deepest and
wettest.
State water monitors say they will trudge through the
Sierra snowpack now standing at 10.5 inches deep to
perform a manual survey of the snowpack Jan. 3.

Trump signals shift from Obamas focus on multilateralism

By Jullie Pace
For eight years, President Barack Obamas

foreign policy doctrine has been rooted in a
belief that while the United States can take
action around the word on its own, it rarely
should.
Multilateralism regulates hubris,
Obama declared.
His successor, President-elect Donald
Trump, has derided some of the same international partnerships Obama and his recent
predecessors have promoted, raising the
prospect that the Republicans America
First agenda might well mean an America
more willing to act alone.
The United Nations has such great potential but right now it is just a club for people
to get together, talk and have a good time,
Trump tweeted days after the U.N. Security
Council approved a resolution condemning
Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east
Jerusalem. Both Israel and Trump called on
the U.S. to use its veto power to block the
measure, but the Obama administration
instead abstained.
Trumps criticism of the United Nations is
shared by some in his party, including a
handful of GOP lawmakers who have called
for Congress to withhold funding for the
body following the settlements vote.
Some of Trumps other positions have
drawn swift rebuke from Republicans, particularly his criticism of NATO during the
presidential campaign and his suggestion
that the U.S. might not defend partners that
dont fulfill financial obligations to the
longstanding U.S.-European military
alliance.
Trump has also challenged the necessity
of multilateralism in his economic agenda,
pledging to scrap the 12-nation TransPacific Partnership trade accord in favor of

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power addresses media following

funding for the body following the settlements vote.
one-on-one agreements that he says will be
more favorable to U.S. businesses and workers.
With Trump still about three weeks away
from taking office, its unclear how his campaign rhetoric will translate into action.
Even as he has criticized the U.N. and NATO,
he has vowed to aggressively pursue joint
and coalition military operations with
allies to take on the Islamic State militant
group. What those military operations
might entail is uncertain, given that
Trumps views on national security have
been both isolationist and muscular, includ-
ing his recent call for expanding U.S.

nuclear capabilities.
Richard Grenell, who served as U.S.
spokesman at the United Nations during
President George W. Bushs administration
and has been working with Trumps transition team, downplayed the prospect that
Trump will withdraw from or even disregard
the U.N. and NATO once he takes office.
Trump is talking about reforming these
organizations so that they live up to their
ideals, not about abandoning them, Grenell
said in an interview.
Obama has also been critical of U.S. part-
ners at times, telling The Atlantic magazine

earlier this year that some U.S. allies were
free riders eager for Washington to solve
the worlds problems. Obama also has
pushed NATO partners to live up to an agreement that they spend at least 2 percent of
their countrys gross domestic product on
defense, a guideline only a few members
adhere to.
But the presidents major foreign policy
decisions have highlighted his belief that
the U.S. is better served acting in concert
with other nations and that a lack of
involvement from allies should be a warning sign to Washington. Both Republican
Presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush
were also proponents of coalition-building
before taking drastic action overseas.
With the support of the U.N. Security
Council and NATO allies, Obama joined the
bombing campaign in Libya in 2011. He
backed away from plans to launch airstrikes
against Syria in 2013, spooked in part by
the British Parliaments refusal to authorize
its military to participate and scant willingness among other allies to join the effort.
On the diplomatic front, Obamas administration worked alongside five other
nations to secure a landmark nuclear accord
with Iran and partnered with the European
Union to level economic sanctions against
Russia for its provocations in Ukraine.
Like much of Obamas approach to foreign
policy, his preference for acting as part of a
coalition was shaped by lessons learned
from the Iraq war he inherited from George
W. Bush. While numerous other countries
were part of the war at the start, the U.S. had
by far the largest commitment and bore the
brunt of the casualties and the financial burden. Responsibility for quelling the sectarian violence and instability that consumed
Iraq after the 2003 invasion also fell predominantly to the U.S.
Trump names Bush-era veteran and policy newcomer to posts

By Vivian Salama
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Presidentelect Donald Trump on Tuesday appointed

an experienced hand from the George W.
Bush era to his national security circle and a
figure from the Trump Organization to make
international deals.
Thomas Bossert will become an assistant
to the president for homeland security and
counterterrorism. A statement from Trumps
transition team said Bossert will advise the
president on issues related to homeland
security, counterterrorism and cybersecuri-
ty, and coordinate the Cabinets process for

making and executing policy in those
areas.
The position notably is being elevated
and restored to its independent status alongside the national security adviser, the
statement said. Policymakers have long
debated whether such national security jobs
should operate independently from the
White House.
Bossert will work closely with Trumps
pick for national security adviser, retired Lt.
Gen. Michael Flynn. Bossert is currently
president of the risk management consulting firm CDS Consulting. He previously
served as deputy assistant to the president
for homeland security under Bush.

The president-elect also appointed one of
his main advisers on U.S.-Israel relations
as special representative for international
negotiations.
Jason Greenblatt has worked for the
Trump Organization for over two decades
and currently serves as its executive vice
president and chief legal officer.
In the statement, Trump said Greenblatt
has a history of negotiating substantial,
complex transactions on my behalf, and
has the expertise to bring parties together
and build consensus on difficult and sensitive topics.
Trump recently named his other top advis-
er on Israel, David Friedman, as his pick for

U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Trumps West Wing is shaping up to have
multiple power centers. Chief of Staff
Reince Priebus and senior adviser Steve
Bannon will work as equal partners,
according to Trump, and counselor
Kellyanne Conway is also expected to have
autonomy. Trumps influential son-in-law,
Jared Kushner, will also have a direct line to
the president.
Trump has long stoked rivalries among
his staff in business and during his presidential campaign. But doing so in the White
House could sow confusion and slow decision-making.

Bag of toys prompts scare at Trump Tower

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, center, and Barack Obama, left, bow their heads during a wreath-laying ceremony
aboard the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
At Pearl Harbor: U.S., Japan

seek absolution from the war
By Josh Lederman and Caleb Jones
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii In a historic pilgrimage, the leaders of Japan

and the United States took to the hallowed waters of Pearl Harbor on Tuesday
to prove that even the bitterest enemies
can become allies. Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe did not apologize, but conceded Japan must never repeat the horrors of war again.
Seventy-five years after Japans surprise attack sent America marching into
World War II, Abe and President Barack
Obama peered down at the rusting
wreckage of the USS Arizona, clearly
visible in the tranquil, teal water. More
than 1,000 U.S. war dead remain
entombed in the submerged ship, and in
a show of respect, Obama and Abe
dropped purple petals into the water and
stood in silence.
As the prime minister of Japan, I
offer my sincere and everlasting condolences to the souls of those who lost
their lives here, as well as to the spirits
of all the brave men and women whose
lives were taken by a war that commenced in this very place, Abe said
later at nearby Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam.
That was the closest Abe would get to
an apology for the attack. And it was
enough for Obama, who also declined to
apologize seven months ago when he
became Americas first sitting president
to visit Hiroshima, where the U.S.

dropped an atomic bomb in a bid to end
the war.
It was enough, too, for Alfred
Rodrigues, a U.S. Navy veteran who survived the attack. The 96-year-old said he
had no hard feelings and added, War is
war.
They were doing what they were supposed to do, and we were doing what we
were supposed to do, Rodrigues said
before the visit.
Abe, who became Japans first leader
to visit Pearl Harbor with a U.S. president, said the visit brought utter
silence to me. His remarks capped a
day that was carefully choreographed
by the U.S. and Japan to show a strong
and growing alliance between former
foes.
They started with a formal meeting at
another nearby military base, in what
the White House said was likely
Obamas last meeting with a foreign
leader before leaving office in January.
It was a bookend of sorts for the president, who nearly eight years ago invited
Abes predecessor to be the first leader
he hosted at the White House.
Obama, speaking after he and Abe laid
green-and-peach wreaths at the memorial, called the harbor a sacred place and
said that even the deepest wounds of
war can give way to friendship and lasting peace. Its a notion Obama tried
throughout his presidency to put into
practice, as he reached out to former
adversaries Iran, Myanmar and Cuba.

As we lay a wreath or toss flowers
into waters that still weep, we think of
the more than 2,400 American patriots,
fathers and husbands, wives and daughters, manning heavens rails for all eternity, Obama said.
Then the two leaders greeted survivors
in the crowd. They shook hands and
hugged some of the men who fought in
the Dec. 7, 1941, battle that President
Franklin D. Roosevelt called a date
which will live in infamy.
Japanese leaders have visited Pearl
Harbor before, but Abe was the first to
go to the memorial above the sunken
USS Arizona, where a marbled wall lists
the names of U.S. troops killed in the
Japanese attack.
For Abe, it was an act of symbolic reciprocity, coming seven months after
Obama and Abe visited Hiroshima
together and renewed their calls for a
nuclear-free future. Still, both governments maintain that the visits were separate and not contingent upon one
another.
The visit was not without political
risk for Abe, given the Japanese peoples long, emotional reckoning with
their nations aggression in the war.
Though the history books have largely
deemed Pearl Harbor a surprise attack,
Japans government still insists it had
intended to give prior notice that it was
declaring war and failed only because of
bureaucratic bungling.
NEW YORK A stray backpack prompted the partial

evacuation of Trump Tower on Tuesday, though bomb squad
technicians quickly determined the unattended bag contained childrens toys and
was harmless.
Video posted online showed people

Stephen Davis, the New York Police

Niketown, a store in the building.
President-elect Donald Trump lives in the tower and has

U.S., Russian militaries share

more information on Syria
WASHINGTON U.S.-Russian
talks on their separate fights
against the Islamic State group are
becoming more productive and
more frequent, American officials
said, with both sides trading information in real time and even outlining some of their strategic objectives in the months ahead. The
progress dispels the notion that
ties between the former Cold War
foes are frozen.
In the discussions, Russia has
made clear its counterterrorism priority in Syria is retaking the
ancient city of Palmyra, officials
said. The U.S. is determined to pressure IS headquarters in Raqqa.
The closer contacts between the
two countries have developed
despite their bitter accusations
against each other over the devastation in Aleppo and Moscows claim
that relations are now frozen on all
practical levels.
The confidential military discussions arent focusing on their
opposing positions in Syrias civil
war, where Russia is fighting along-
side the government and the United

States has backed rebel groups,
officials said.
But U.S. officials with knowledge
of the ongoing conversations are
crediting both sides with putting
aside much of the public animosity,
which has included Washingtons
accusations of Russian war crimes
in Aleppo and Moscows charges of
American support for terrorist
groups such as al-Qaida. Much of
the talk has concerned the two
nations immediate operations.
Since Dec. 15, the U.S.-led coalition has conducted airstrikes on
about two dozen locations around
Palmyra, destroying air defense
weapons, tanks, aircraft shelters,
storage bunkers and other vehicles
and equipment.
At the same time, U.S. and
Russian officials having been
ensuring that the two militaries
dont cross paths in the airspace
above the city that IS militants
seized for the second time earlier

strikes dont mistakenly hit

recorder from Black Sea jet crash
By Fares Akram
RAFAH, Gaza Strip For most

of the past decade, Egypt has been
a quiet partner with Israel in a
blockade on the Hamas-ruled Gaza
Strip that has stifled the economy
and largely blocked its 2 million
people from moving in and out of
the territory. But after a three-year
crackdown, there are signs that
Egypt is easing the pressure in a
step to repair its shattered ties
with the Islamic militant group.
In recent months, Cairo has
increased the number of people
allowed to exit through the Rafah
border crossing, Gazas main gateway to the outside world. It also
has begun to allow Gaza to import
commercial goods through Rafah
for the first time since 2013 and
sent public signals that it is interested in improving relations.

SOCHI, Russia Investigators

recovered the flight-data recorder
from a crashed Russian military
plane Tuesday and began reviewing
its contents to learn why the jet
went down moments after takeoff,
killing all 92 people aboard,
including members of a famous
choir.
The Tu-154 crashed into the Black
Sea early Sunday two minutes after
departing in good weather from the
city of Sochi. The plane was carrying members of the Alexandrov
Ensemble, widely known as the Red
Army Choir, to a New Years concert
at a Russian military base in Syria.
Meanwhile, rescue workers raced
to wrap up their efforts to recover
bodies and wreckage ahead of predicted bad weather. The work has
involved 3,500 people, including
about 200 navy divers flown to the
site from all over Russia. Aided by

drones and submersibles, teams
have recovered 12 bodies and
numerous body fragments about a
mile away from the shore.
The main flight recorder was
quickly flown to Moscow, where
experts started analyzing it,
Transport
Minister
Maxim
Sokolov said. Preliminary findings
could be available as early as
Wednesday, according to some aviation experts.
Investigators were looking into
whether the crash might have been
caused by bad fuel, pilot error,
equipment failure or objects stuck
in the engines. The top Russian
investigative agency, known as the
Investigative Committee, said it
had taken samples from a fuel tank
used to fill the plane, which flew
from Moscows Chkalovsky military airport and stopped in Sochi for
refueling.

who has taken part in recent meetings with Egyptian officials to

discuss the changing ties. The
question is how we, the
Palestinians, shall catch that ball
and develop the hope.
The changes, while still in their
infancy, mark a significant departure from what has been a tough
Egyptian crackdown since the military ousted its then-president,
Mohammed Morsi, in 2013.
Hamas, an offshoot of Morsis
Muslim Brotherhood, enjoyed
close relations with him and
quickly fell into disfavor with the
new government.
Under President Abdel-Fattah elSissi, the former military chief
who ousted Morsi, Egypt all but
destroyed a once-thriving network
of cross-border smuggling tunnels
used by Hamas robbing the
group of its main economic lifeline and a key source of weapons.
Targeting Islamic militant
groups in Egypts northern Sinai
Desert, it also destroyed hundreds
of homes in the volatile border

area to create a sterile zone.
Egypts state-run media have
repeatedly accused Hamas of collaborating with militants in
Egypt, a charge the group denies.
The crackdown has had a devastating effect on both sides of the
border.
The olive and palm trees that
once lined the 40-kilometer (25mile) road from Rafah to El-Arish,
the provincial capital of North
Sinai, have been razed and even
small bushes have withered.
The road is littered with checkpoints, tanks and mobile artillery
units, manned by anxious young
soldiers. In the town of Sheikh
Zuwaid, where travelers used to
stop to buy Egyptian mobile
phone cards and snacks, stores
were gutted, their doors bombed
out. The bullet-riddled houses
above them were turned into military positions, with sandbags
covering the windows and snipers
stationed on the roofs.

Death sentences in the U.S.

Other voices
The Los Angeles Times
San Bernardino County judge

is expected to follow a jurys
recommendation next week
and sentence Gilbert Sanchez to death
for the 2001 rape and murder of Sylvia
Galindo, a 30-year-old Fontana bakery worker. That sentence will set,
incongruously enough, a welcome
national milestone. His would be the
30th death sentence imposed in the
United States in 2016, the lowest
annual total since the Supreme Court
revived the death penalty more than
40 years ago.
The 2016 ebb point is not just a little bit lower than previous years, but
down 39 percent from the 49 death
sentences issued last year, and down
90 percent from the peak of 315 two
decades ago, according to an annual
report released today by the Death
Penalty Information Center. The reasons for the decline are not crystal
clear, but one factor is the general
nationwide decrease in homicides,
according to Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty
Information Center.
Whats probably more signicant,
though, is that prosecutors are seeking death sentences less often, which
could signal a crucial change in attitudes among those who hold signicant power in determining who gets
executed and who does not. Juries
make that decision in nearly all states
(Alabama is an outlier), but not unless
they are asked to by the prosecutor ling the case. In fact, the Death
Penalty Information Center report
found that only 27 counties nation-
wide sentenced someone to death this

year. The leader, unfortunately, was
Los Angeles County, where four of the
states eight death sentences also
the highest in the nation, reecting
the states most-populous status
were handed down. Alameda, Kern,
Orange, Riverside counties issued one
each; Sanchez will be the states
ninth (and San Bernardinos only one)
this year.
And the landscape for capital punishment is changing. As national surveys have found a general decrease in
public support for capital punishment
in recent years, four high-prole, prodeath-penalty district attorneys in
Florida, Texas and Alabama lost
recent reelection bids in campaigns
that centered on criminal justice
reforms, including the death penalty.
Executions themselves are also down,
though that has less to do with mercy
in the criminal justice system than
with states having trouble buying
lethal-injection drugs pharmaceutical companies wont sell their products for use in executions and with
legal holds placed by courts or governors grappling with questions about
the constitutionality of execution
methods.
The year wasnt all good news for
death penalty abolitionists, however.
Despite the broad national trend away
from popular support for capital punishment, voters here in California
rejected a ballot initiative last month
that would have banned it. Instead,
they approved a competing initiative
that will speed up the appeals process

in ways that will likely violate the
constitutional rights of the accused,
increase the chances of an innocent
person being executed and usurp the
authority of the state court system
(The state Supreme Court put the
measure on hold Tuesday while it considers a legal challenge). Elsewhere,
voters in Nebraska overturned a state
law banning the death penalty, and
Oklahoma voters preemptively adopted a constitutional amendment recognizing capital punishment.
So where does that leave the ght to
end the death penalty? In an odd, but
somewhat optimistic, place. Several
federal judges have in recent years
questioned the constitutionality of
the way California and other states
conduct the death penalty. And in
recent dissents, Supreme Court Justice
Steven Breyer has called for his colleagues to reconsider the constitutionality of the death penalty itself.
Whether the justices will strike it
down once and for all is the big question, especially with the empty Scalia
seat still waiting to be lled.
But there is always hope that even a
conservative legal mind will recognize that the mood of the country is
shifting away from executions. Chief
Justice Earl Warren wrote in a 1958
decision that the Eighth Amendments
denition of cruel and unusual punishment must draw its meaning from the
evolving standards of decency that
mark the progress of a maturing society. We hope the court infers from
the steady decline in death sentences
that American society is maturing,
and leaving capital punishment
behind.

Players who break continuity with
their educational institutional bowl

friends. If in the future they get
intrigued with the idea, we have

something more kids, adults and
seniors will be interested in.

In jeopardy
R
eality doesnt go away when you stop believing in it. letter writer in the San Francisco
Chronicle, Dec. 17, 2006.
When watching President Obama answering questions at
his last press conference Dec. 16, a painful feeling swept
over me because of the coming departure of a president who
demonstrates such qualities as dignity, humility and empathy. Then, that evening on the Charlie Rose show, Tom
Friedman offered his admiration of President Obamas
decency, integrity and reective way of handling problems. That horrible feeling took over again that it will
be a long time, if ever that we have a president who is
anything more than a menacing, narcissistic showman.
As I see it, the rise of
Donald Trump is a very disturbing indication of a
nation that has lost its balance one that has turned
itself over to a charlatan
demagogue. I imagine a day
when we will all sadly mourn
the end of President Obamas
tenure the loss of an
intelligent, ethical man dedicated to the responsibility of
his position and sincerely
attempting to do what is
best for our democratic
nation. Add Michelle
Obamas warmth, intelligence, sincerity, candor and graciousness.
If you have read my politically oriented columns during
the last year or so, you are aware of my opinion about our
president-elect especially how his pathological narcissism will no doubt cause this country to lose its integrity
and soul at an ever-increasing rate. And what is especially
unnerving is that there are so many Americans who do not
see through his chicanery, his dishonesty, his complete
lack of humility and empathy and his extreme narcissism
and realize the danger of such a man leading this country.
This is NOT a reality show!
Recently, Trump ended his victory tour basking in
the devotion of those who apparently have no qualms about
supporting a president who lies with alacrity. As Joel Stein
wrote about Trumps dishonesty in the Dec. 19 Time magazine: Trump mastered the lie. He saw Muslims in New
Jersey celebrate the falling of the Twin Towers. He claimed
that Clinton started the birther movement instead of him.
He vowed to save $300 billion a year from Medicares prescription drug program, which costs $78 billion a year.
After he won the presidency, he lied that millions of people
had voted for Clinton illegally. It was the kind of year when
you could lie about being cheated after you won.
Robert Reichs column in the Dec. 18 Chronicle describes
another aspect of Trumps psychological dysfunction. The
president-elects tendency to go after people who criticize
him by sending false and provocative statements to his 17
million followers not only imperils those people and their
organizations, it also poses a clear and present danger to our
democracy.
It is interesting to note some of the characteristics of fulledged narcissists like Trump and more thoughtful, unassuming people like President Obama. I based the following
statements on an interesting Narcissistic Personality
Inventory that I found in Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith
Campbells book, The Narcissism Epidemic. First, the
Trump type would very likely believe:
1). If I ruled the world it would be a much better place;
2). I like to be the center of attention;
3). I can live my life any way I want to;
4). I will never be satised until I get all that I deserve;
5). I nd it easy to manipulate people;
6). I am an extraordinary and special person; and
7). I like having authority over other people.
Narcissism isnt a condition to be taken lightly.
Dictators, emperors, kings, etc. have, through the ages,
been known for their profound narcissism. These types will
go to any lengths to gain control and the adoration and worship of followers, aunt their palatial residences and are
addicted to their power.
Consider a more normal person possibly the President
Obama type.
1). The thought of ruling the world has never entered my
mind;
2). I am not desperate for attention;
3). People must make many adjustments in life to be compatible;
4). I can nd satisfaction in many things in my present
life and have no unrealistic expectations;
5). I am not the type to manipulate others;
6). I like to think that I may have some exceptional abilities but do not lord it over others; and
7). I can take the lead when necessary or if the opportunity arises, but I am not desperate for it.
Trumps capricious use of power to denigrate and even
endanger his critics must end. He is not yet our president.
When he becomes so, and has far greater power, our freedom
and democracy could be gravely jeopardized. Reich.

Trading was light following the
long holiday weekend, with less
than 1.9 billion shares traded on
the New York Stock Exchange.
Thats the lightest full day of trading since October 2015.
Markets are moving toward

What 17 may mean for

your personal finances
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
Its been a tumultuous 2016 both

financially and politically. The year
may have left some people wondering,
whats next? And, how will it affect me?
Lacking a crystal ball, we asked a few
economic experts what they think 2017
may hold in store for Americans personal finances. Heres their take on
what to expect in the year ahead:
Q. Whats the job market going to
look like?
A. The job market in 2017 will be
about as good as it gets, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Analytics. There are currently a record
number of job openings and layoffs are
at record lows.
Job growth should be strong next
year, with more jobs across all pay
scales, Zandi said. With the economy at
full-employment, pay increases should
also be as large as theyve been in a
decade, and well above the rate of inflation.
The only soft spots Zandi sees will be
in energy and other commodity-related
industries, manufacturing that is sensitive to global trade, and industries being
disrupted by technology, such as print

media or brick-and-mortar retailing.
2017 will be a great year if youre
looking for a new job or a better one,
he said.
However, while the job market is
good, its taking longer than ever to get
hired, said Andrew Chamberlain, chief
economist at Glassdoor. The interview
process now takes 22.9 days on average
to complete in the U.S. as employers
conduct additional screenings to find
the right candidate, Chamberlain noted
in a recent report.
Dont expect jobs to look the same
once you land them, either.
Chamberlain predicts that automation
will change every job. There may also
be a shift away from flashy benefits
packages in some industries in 2017. In
the tech industry particularly, where fun
perks are the norm, employers may be
looking at which benefits give them the
most bang for their buck. He also predicts employers may finally take action
to level the gender pay gap, thanks to
greater awareness, data availability and
pay transparency.
Q. Will gas prices go up?
A. 2017 will likely be another cheap
year to fuel your car, but not quite as
good as 2016, several energy experts

said.
A huge global glut in the oil supply
has driven down prices in recent years,
meaning consumers pay less at the
pump. As of mid-December, gasoline is
averaging $2.115 a gallon in the U.S.,
said Tom Kloza, global head of energy
analysis at the Oil Price Information
Service. He expects 2016 will be the
cheapest year for American motorists
since 2004, when the average price was
$2.265 a gallon.
But recently OPEC short for the
Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries recently agreed
to cut production beginning in January
to restore some stability to the market.
If the cartels members follow through,
global oil production will slow, but not
by much.
And while there is a likelihood that
supply and demand will rebalance in
2017 under the OPEC agreement, Kloza
said its also possible that various countries will cheat on production pledges.
That could mess with oil and gasoline
prices. He expects prices will range
from $2.10-$2.75 a gallon nationwide
over the course of 2017, with seasonal
and regional fluctuations.
Tesla, Panasonic to make solar cells in Buffalo, New York

BUFFALO, N.Y. Japanese electronics company Panasonic and U.S.

electric car maker Tesla said Tuesday
they plan to begin production of solar
cells at a factory in Buffalo, New York.
The two companies said they finalized an agreement calling for Tokyobased Panasonic to pay capital costs
for the manufacturing. Palo Alto-based
Tesla made a long-term purchase commitment to Panasonic.
Their statement gave no financial
figures.
The factory in Buffalo is under development by SolarCity Corp., a San
Mateo-based solar panel company
owned by Tesla. The photovoltaic
cells and modules will be used in solar

panels for non-solar roof products and
solar glass tile roofs that Tesla plans
to begin making, the announcement
said.
Production is due to begin in mid2017. Tesla said it will create 1,400
jobs in Buffalo, 500 in manufacturing
and plans further expansion in
Buffalo.
Panasonic also is to work with Tesla
on next-generation technology, the
companies said.
New York state has committed $750
million to build and outfit the plant at
Buffalos RiverBend site, the centerpiece of Democratic Gov. Andrew
Cuomos Buffalo Billion program to
revitalize the upstate regions largest

city.
SolarCity has committed to investing $5 billion over 10 years in New
York state, hiring almost 1,500 workers at the Buffalo plant for five years
and employing at least 2,000 more
people across New York in exchange
for use of the state-owned plant.
In October, when word emerged
about the possible manufacturing collaboration, the head of New York
states economic development agency
said SolarCity will be held to job creation promises made when the state
committed funding to build and outfit
the plant, which is expected to begin
production next summer.

Smoot kills it in
last year at NDB
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Katie Smoot set a lofty goal at the

start of the season.
Notre Dame-Belmonts superhuman
outside hitter wanted to reach 600
kills. Five players in California ultimately reached the elite plateau.
Smoot was one of them. In the
process, she emerged as a clear choice
as Daily Journal Volleyball Player of
the Year.
After leading NDB to the programs
first-ever volleyball state title as a
junior in 2015, Smoots senior swan
song was as dominant an effort seen
in the Central Coast Section this season. She reached exactly 600 kills in
the penultimate match of her varsity
career. In her final match, she added a
career-best 30 more, totaling 630 to
capture the CCS kills crown, according to MaxPreps.com.
Ive always been a really strong
kid because Ive always been a lot bigger than everyone, Smoot said.
At 6-1 with a right arm that if
there were any justice in the world
should have intrigued many a
Division I football recruiter in search
of a gunslinger quarterback, the crimson-haired terminator features the
best sheer hitting velocity to come
out of a San Mateo County volleyball
program since current Cal outside hitter Christine Alftin graduated from
Woodside following the 2013 season.
For Smoot, though, the secret to her
success has been refining her monster
kills to become a more exacting
marksman. Judging by her kills total,
and her accepting a full scholarship to
play at University of Arizona next
season, it would seem she has struck
the right balance.
Ive always been able to hit it really hard, Smoot said. Just, through
my years of playing, Ive been able to
place it better. So, I think Ive always

had the ability. Its just being smart
and knowing where to put it changed a
lot since my freshman year to now.
At the start of Smoots varsity
career in 2013, upstart head coach
Jennifer Agresti was determined to
return the team to dominance. The
Tigers hadnt won 30 games in a season since 2006, the last time the team
brought home a CCS championship.
With Agresti having just finished her
fifth year at the helm this year, NDB
capped its third consecutive season of
30 overall wins.
Smoot proved the pillar of that success. During her four-year varsity
career, the Tigers posted an overall
record of 119-43, including back-toback CCS Division IV championships in 2014 and 15. They would
have had a legitimate chance at a
three-peat this season, but the institution of a new Open Division throughout both the CCS and California
Interscholastic Federation state championship brackets saw NDB move up
to join the most elite teams in the
state.
It was a test that, at the outset of the
season, the Tigers welcomed. But two
weeks prior to the start of the postseason, Smoots longtime friend and
vaunted terminating partner, senior
outside hitter Tammy Byrne, blew out
her knee in a tournament finale
against Menlo-Atherton.
I freaked out, said Smoot, who
was on the court when Byrne suffered
the season-ending injury. I was trying to keep calm, like OK, shes fine.
Its cool. Its overwhelming
because Im always used to having her
on my side because shes one of my
best friends. Its hard for her but its
also hard for me to see her go through
that pain.
Add to that injuries to senior middle

Kaepernick not thinking about future with 49ers

By Michael Wagaman
SANTA CLARA If Colin Kaepernick is

concerned about his future with the 49ers,
the veteran quarterback certainly isnt
showing it. At least not publicly.
During an 8-minute conversation with
reporters Tuesday, Kaepernick laughed and
smiled while repeatedly deflecting questions about his status with the only NFL
team hes played for.
Instead, Kaepernick insisted over and
over that his focus is solely on San
Franciscos season finale against division
rival Seattle on Sunday at Levis Stadium.
For us, looking ahead is Sunday,
Kaepernick said. Thats where our focus is
right now, thats where all of our energy is
going. We want to make sure we end this
season right with a win and do everything
this week to prepare for that.
Kaepernick originally signed a $114 million, six-year contract with the 49ers in
2014, but restructured it down to a two-year
deal this past October one day after
replacing Blaine Gabbert as San Franciscos
starting quarterback.
The new contract, much more franchisefriendly than the original deal, converting
Kaepernicks game bonuses into guaranteed
money, includes a clause allowing him to
become an unrestricted free agent in 2017.

Durant calls for NBA to toss
Last Two Minute Report
OAKLAND Kevin Durant is calling on
the NBA to toss out the Last Two Minute
Report because he, like the leagues officials, believes it will only lead to more
errors.
No stewing by the Golden State Warriors
upon learning the NBA acknowledged two
That, coupled with rumors San

Franciscos front office is willing to move
on from its 2011 second-round pick, has
fueled speculation that Sundays game could
be Kaepernicks last in a 49ers uniform.
Kaepernick is adamant that none of that is
on his mind, and at times sounded very
much like a player preparing to stay in San
Francisco in 2017.
My focus is this week and making sure
that Im doing everything I can to prepare,
and to try to help my teammates prepare
this week to get a win, Kaepernick said.
When youre in a situation like this, how
you finish the season can help set the foundation for next season. Thats what we have
to be able to do this week, go out and get a
win, leave on a positive note and have
something to build on this offseason where
we can improve and come into next season
ready to roll.
Kaepernicks comments come 10 months
after he requested to be traded. A much-talked
about deal with Denver never materialized,
and after multiple offseason surgeries,
Kaepernick began the 2016 as Gabberts
backup.
Since replacing Gabbert as the starter,
Kaepernick has had varying degrees of success during this mostly dismal season for
the 49ers. In 10 starts he has passed 15
touchdowns with four interceptions, 2,026
yards and an 88.2 rating despite a career-low
missed calls late in the teams one-point
Christmas Day loss at Cleveland. They lost
this one all on their own.

American out as Swansea manager

after less than three months
SWANSEA, Wales American coach Bob
Bradley was fired as Swansea manager on
Tuesday, less than three months after taking
charge at the English Premier League club.
Swansea announced Bradleys departure a
day after the teams 4-1 home loss to West
version with 31 seconds remaining.

It had been a long time since we had that
feeling, Kaepernick said. I think this
team sees what its capable of, and now we
have that foundation to be able to build
upon.
Whether Kaepernick will be part of that
foundation moving forward remains uncertain just three years after he was part of a
franchise that went to three consecutive
appearances in the NFC championship
game. He is less than a year removed from
having surgeries on his right thumb and left
knee after previously undergoing a procedure to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He admittedly took some time to adjust
to coach Chip Kellys offense.
To me I feel like Ive gotten more and
more back to myself as weeks have gone,
and gotten more comfortable in this
offense, Kaepernick said. It has been a
long time since I felt this good and just felt
fluid on the field. For me thats something I
want to continue to be able to build on.
Its like any offense, you have to go out
and execute. If you execute and do your job,
offenses work. If you dont do your job well,
they dont work.
General manager Trent Baalke has
remained mum on Kaepernicks future and
the sixth-year quarterback said he has had
no discussions with the teams front office
regarding the topic.

run. The Raiders can clinch the AFC West title
and a first-round bye with either a win at Denver
on Sunday or a Kansas City loss in San Diego.
If Oakland loses and the Chiefs win, the Raiders
will open the playoffs at AFC South champion
Houston on wild-card weekend.
Were up for the challenge, running back
Latavius Murray said. I know Matt is. Were
not going to change anything. Were going to
go out and execute and do what we do.
They will just have to do it with McGloin
under center instead of Carr.
The Raiders believed enough in McGloin to
place a second-round tender on him as a restricted free agent this past offseason, but he has had
little time on the field since his rookie season
in 2013.
While McGloin has thrown just 55 passes
since making six starts late that year and Carr
was mentioned as a possible MVP candidate
with 28 TD passes, 3,933 yards passing and
only six interceptions this season, the Raiders
dont expect much to change with how the
offense is run. The players say both quarterbacks have similar approaches and work
ethics, with the biggest difference being in
their language.
Theyre both great guys, backup quarterback Connor Cook said. I would just say the
only thing is McGloin probably swears a little
bit more than Derek. Thats the main difference.
SPORTS
While Carr has been bred for the NFL ever
since David was the No. 1 overall pick by
Houston in 2002, McGloin had to walk on at
Penn State before becoming a starter in college, was undrafted in the NFL, and has spent
most of his four years as a backup.
McGloin uses those perceived slights as
motivation to succeed where others thought he
couldnt.
Its almost like he lives for being that underdog, and thats what fuels him, said tight end
Mychal Rivera, who played when McGloin
started in 2013. And its brilliant. Were going
to rally behind him.
McGloin steps into a much better situation
this year than he did three years ago when he
replaced an injured Terrelle Pryor at quarterback
for an Oakland team on the way to a 4-12
record. The Raiders have one of the top offensive lines in the game, anchored by Pro
Bowlers Donald Penn, Kelechi Osemele and
center Rodney Hudson, and have two top playmakers on the outside in Amari Cooper and
Michael Crabtree.
The running game behind Murray and rookies
Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington ranks
fifth in the league at 124.3 yards per game and
has been even more potent of late with 157.3
yards per game over the past four contests.
Even the defense that struggled mightily
early in the season has been much improved of
late behind the strong play of pass rusher
Khalil Mack.
But to have success, McGloin will need to
make plays like the 19-yard pass into coverage
he made on a late third down play to Cooper
that helped Oakland run out the clock in
Saturdays 33-25 win over Indianapolis.
NFL brief
Bills fire coach Rex Ryan
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. The Bills have
fired coach Rex Ryan ahead of their last
game of the season after he failed to lead
Buffalo to the playoffs.
Bills officials announced Ryans firing on
Twitter on Tuesday, after a Week 16 loss to
the Dolphins dropped the Bills to 7-8 and
officially eliminated the team from playoff
contention. The loss extended the NFLs
longest active playoff drought to 17 seasons.
Ryan was 15-16 in two seasons with
Buffalo.
NFL
division and Detroit gets the second wild
card for having defeated Washington.
Got it?
Theres more.
The Packers could advance if the Redskins
tie, Tampa Bay wins and Green Bay clinches
at least a tie in a strength-of-victory
tiebreaker over Tampa Bay. How can that
happen?
Dont ask. Just wait for Sundays results.
The Buccaneers (8-7) host Carolina in the
season finale. They advance with a win and
Washington tie and Green Bay loss, plus
Tampa Bay clinches a strength-of-victory
tiebreaker over Green Bay.
The only other thing at stake in the NFC
is who gets the second seed behind Dallas
13
The Bills also said on

Twitter that
Ryans
brother, Rob Ryan, was
fired from his position as
an assistant head coach
with the responsibility
to oversee defense. Rob
was hired in January to
improve a defense that
finished 19th in the NFL
Rex Ryan
last year.
Rex Ryan came to Buffalo saying this
would be his last job after six seasons with
the Jets.
The Bills owners, Terry and Kim Pegula,
hired Ryan as a defensive specialist with the
belief that he could bring the team back to
relevance.
(13-2). It goes to Atlanta (10-5) if it beats
New Orleans, or if both NFC West winner
Seattle and Detroit lose no matter what the
Falcons do. Ties also fit in those scenarios,
but do we really want to go there?
In the AFC, all six qualifiers are set. New
England (13-2) has won the East and will
clinch home-field advantage throughout if it
beats Miami (10-5). The Dolphins are the
sixth seed entering the weekend and will
play at No. 3 Pittsburgh, the North winner,
or South champion Houston in the wild-card
round.
Should the Dolphins win, Oakland (12-3)
can grab the top seed by winning at Denver.
Such a victory also would hand the Raiders
the West and make the Chiefs (11-4) a wild
card.
If the Raiders lose and Kansas City wins at
San Diego, then the Chiefs are the West winner and the second seed. That would drop
Oakland to a wild card.
Pretty simple compared to the NFC.

Washington to test Alabama defense with offensive balance

By Charles Odum
ATLANTA Washington is bringing

more than its high-powered passing attack
to Saturdays Peach Bowl semifinal against
Alabamas tough defense .
The Huskies have proved they can rely on
a running game led by Myles Gaskin to provide balance when defenses focus their
efforts on stopping quarterback Jake
Browning and star wide receiver John Ross.
How balanced is the offense? Just look at
Washingtons 41-10 rout of Colorado in the
Pac-12 championship game. The Huskies
offense flourished even when Browning
completed only 9 of 24 passes for 118
yards. Washington (12-1) pounded the ball
with 265 yards on the ground, including
Its definitely good to have a balance, run and pass.

There are a lot of teams that can only pass the ball. There
are a lot of teams that can only run the ball. So it is good, when
one thing isnt working, you can always resort to the other.
Dante Pettis, Washington wide receiver
159 from Gaskin. Lavon Coleman added

101 yards rushing.
Its definitely good to have a balance,
run and pass, Washington wide receiver
Dante Pettis said Tuesday. There are a lot of
teams that can only pass the ball. There are
a lot of teams that can only run the ball. So
it is good, when one thing isnt working,
you can always resort to the other.
Despite completing only nine passes,
Browning threw for two touchdowns, giv-
ing him 42 for the season the secondhighest total in the nation. Ross has 19
touchdown catches. Pettis has 14 .
Gaskin has 1,339 yards rushing with 10
touchdowns. Its his second straight year
with more than 1,300 yards, production that
is sometimes overshadowed by the Huskies
passing attack.
We had a great year passing the ball,
Gaskin said. Jake, John and Dante, everybody was just doing great. ... Sometimes
things fall through and sometimes things

dont go the way we plan. Knowing we can
run the ball felt good.
Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan
Allen said he knows the Crimson Tides topranked defense has to prepare for
Washingtons balance.
Going in, I thought they were just a passhappy team, Allen said. But when you
look at it, Id say they kind of favor the run
more. Thats definitely a challenge. But as a
defensive lineman, Im excited about it. I
love to go against teams that like to run the
ball.
Washington ranks fourth in the nation
with its average of 44.5 points. Its only
loss, 26-13 to Southern California on Nov.
12, was its only game when it was held
under 31 points.

LEBRON
And he had made it possible.
James, who ended 52 years of sports
heartache by bringing Cleveland a championship and used his superstar platform to
address social causes, was chosen as The
Associated Press 2016 Male Athlete of the
Year, an award he won previously in 2013.
Results of the vote by 59 editors from AP
member newspapers and customers were
announced Tuesday.
James collected 24 first-place votes, beating
out a pair of Olympic legends: Michael Phelps
(16) and Usain Bolt (9), the fastest men in
water and on land who are not accustomed to
finishing behind anyone.
Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant,
the NL MVP who led his team to its first World
Series title since 1908, tied for fourth with

Golden State star guard Stephen Curry, last
years winner. Cristiano Ronaldo, Von Miller
and Andy Murray also received votes.
James joined Michael Jordan as the only
NBA players to win twice. Jordan won it three
straight years from 1991-94.
U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was
named APs top female athlete on Monday.
A rabid sports fan, James was flattered to be
in the same class with Phelps, the 23-time
gold medalist who added five more to his record
collection at the Rio Olympics.
That James received the honor in an
Olympic year underscores the weight of his
accomplishments.
His third NBA crown was for Cleveland,
delivering on a promise James made to a city
that hadnt celebrated a major championship
since 1964 and had endured many torturous
sports moments since.
James, whose game shows no signs of
aging as he approaches his 32nd birthday in a
few days, came up short in 2015, leading an

injury-depleted Cleveland team to the finals
where they lost to the Warriors. And although
James posted the best statistical series of any
player in history, his critics were quick to
point out his 2-4 record in the finals compared
to Jordans 6-0.
The Cavs got a rematch with the record-setting, 73-win Warriors. Led by Curry, the
leagues unanimous MVP choice, Golden State
was being talked about as potentially the best
team ever, an argument that gained steam when
it took a 3-1 lead.
James, though, wasnt going to be denied
again. He scored 41 points in Games 5 and 6
and posted a triple-double in an epic Game 7
that will be remembered for his chase-down
block of Andre Iguodala in the closing minutes
a defensive gem that stands as the signature
play of his magnificent career.
After the final horn, James collapsed on the
floor and when asked moments about his emotions, the Ohio native who proudly says hes

just a kid from Akron, screamed at the TV

camera: Cleveland, this for you!
At that moment, James said, I felt fulfilled. To know the history of our sports here
and how heartbreaking at times it was for all
those years that our fans had to go through,
and the circumstances that we came back from,
it was so fulfilling.
James journey to his greatest triumph coincided with the passing of another great the
greatest of all as Muhammad Ali died on
June 4. During the playoffs, James watched
tapes of Alis fights for motivation. It was in
the spirit of the boxing legend and global
ambassador that James stood on stage with
close friends Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and
Carmelo Anthony at the ESPYs in July to decry
violence against unarmed black men and
encourage fellow athletes to do more to support local police and improve communities.
James later donated $2.5 million for a
Smithsonian exhibit honoring Ali, and hes
producing a documentary on the champ.

Nova: decision to re-sign with Pirates easy

By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Given a chance to

explore the free agency market for the first
time in his career, pitcher Ivan Nova
methodically went through the process, listening to offers but never really changing
his mindset.
All things being equal and just as
importantly, all money being equal Nova
wanted to stick with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
where the right-hander gave his uneven
career a jump start with two occasionally
brilliant months after being acquired at the
trade deadline from the New York Yankees.
My focus was trying to get it done with
the Pirates, Nova said Tuesday after signing a three-year deal with Pittsburgh that
will pay him just shy of $9 million a season.

Nova rebounded almost immediately upon
arrival, going 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 11
starts with the Pirates, who faded from contention down the stretch to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
While the season may have been lost, the
rebirth Nova experienced opened both his
eyes and those in Pittsburghs front office.
Working with pitching coach Ray Searage,
Nova cut his walk rate drastically and kept
the ball down in the strike zone: two things
vital to thriving in cavernous PNC Park.
Its one thing to see sink from a distance
from across the field, Huntington said.
You see him spin a breaking ball, attacking the zone the way he did in our ballpark
in front of our defense ... it leads us to

and catchers Chris Stewart and Francisco
Cervelli, both of whom caught for Nova in
New York before making their way to the
Pirates. Cervelli was the first teammate to
text Nova congratulations when reports of
the deal surfaced last week.
Searage has developed a reputation for

helping veteran pitchers rediscover their
stuff, working with Francisco Liriano,
A.J. Burnett and J.A. Happ among others
during the teams return to prominence
under Hurdle. Nova showed all the markings of another successful rehab while
issuing just three walks in 64 2/3 innings
in Pittsburgh, down from 25 in 97 1/3
innings in New York. Having a motivated
student helped. Nova arrived in Pittsburgh
rejuvenated by the opportunity for a fresh
start.
Sometimes youre not happy (and)
youre not happy you dont perform the
well, Nova said. You want to prove you
can pitch better than you did, and thats
what I did.
Nova will fit in the rotation somewhere
behind Gerrit Cole and is confident the

in which the pitching staffs ERA ballooned
from 3.21 in 2015 to 4.21.

an order for Smoot to shoulder essentially as
a solo act.
NDB was holding out hope to bypass the
Open Division come the state tournament,
but the teams prestigious track record
overshadowed the personnel issues in the
eyes of the seeding committee. Hence, the
Tigers were thrust into the CIF Northern
California Open Division, being eliminated by Marin Catholic-Kentfield despite
Smoot totaling 30 of NDBs 46 kills in
the opening round.
Everyone was kind of upset, which sounds
bad, because its an honor to be in Open,
Smoot said. But given the circumstance with
our team everyone was injured. It was hard
to want to play in such a competitive bracket
for state.
NDB had to settle for a West Bay Athletic
League Foothill Division title this season.
The league championship was a first for
Smoot and company though. Having previously played in the West Catholic Athletic

Its been really cool for me to be a part of

change Notre Dames program.
Moving on up to the Pac-12 next season
with Arizona, Smoot said she expects to start

Im not expecting any playing time right

theyre an amazing team and were going to be
playing the hardest teams in the country. I
know there are other outsides who are way better than me. So, Im just expecting to work as

to where the coaches see my ability.

Thats a world of ability though. Not only
did Smoot lead the CCS in kills and ranked
42nd in the nation, according to

Simple, flavorful chicken and vegetable stir-fry

By Katie Workman
After the holidays, our appetites

can go in a couple of different
directions. On the one hand, after
a steady diet of stuffed birds and
figgy puddings, we seek something lighter, something that
feels clean and simple. On the
other hand, its cold out there, and
we want food thats satisfying to
curl up with.
What to do, what to do..
Whats that I see? (Insert upbeat
superhero music here.) A stir-fry
on the horizon? (Insert hoofbeats.) Why, thats just the thing.
This is fast, simple and
immensely flavorful without
being heavy.
CHICKEN AND
VEGETABLE STIR-FRY WITH
GINGER AND OYSTER SAUCE
Serves 4
Start to finish: 35 minutes
1 pound boneless, skinless
chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch
dice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
This is fast, simple and immensely flavorful stir-fry.

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil,
divided
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 pound sugar snap peas,

trimmed and de-stringed
1 cup diced red bell pepper
8 ounces baby spinach
1/2 cup chicken broth
Hot cooked rice or quinoa to
serve
In a large bowl, toss the chicken
with about half of the salt, the
pepper and the cornstarch until the
chicken is well coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together
the oyster sauce, sesame oil and

sugar.
Heat a large skillet or wok,
preferably nonstick, over medium
high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of
the vegetable oil in the pan, then
add the ginger and garlic and give
a brief stir. Add the chicken and
stir fry until it turns white, about 2
minutes. Transfer the partially
cooked chicken to a plate with a
slotted spoon.
Return the pan to medium high
heat. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the sugar snap
peas and peppers and sauti for 1
minute. Then add the spinach by
the handful and stir-fry until it
wilts, adding more as the volume
goes down, until all of the spinach
is added and somewhat wilted. Add
the chicken broth and bring to a
simmer. Add the oyster sauce mixture, and return the partially
cooked chicken to the pan.
Simmer, stirring occasionally for
another 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve over
the hot rice or quinoa.

have learned from Finley and is thrilled to be
carrying on her predecessors work. The two
womens paths crossed years ago while
Finley worked for the U.S. Forest Service

Birkeland spent 12 years with the federal

Francisco office before joining the county.

masters degree in landscape architecture,
as well as her law degree, Birkeland said

incredible legacy of parks, Birkeland said.

Theyre important community gathering
places.
Aside from providing the public with
vital recreational amenities, both Finley
and Birkeland emphasized the countys key
role in stewarding its land. Finley said the
improved economy, along with voters
approval and extension of a half-cent sales
tax now known as Measure K, allowed the
county to reinvest in its parks.
We had to re-establish the department
and build back up the credibility of the park
staff to stewarding parks. By that, I mean
we set up the first natural resource management program in the 93-year history of San
Mateo County Parks, Finley said. Its
important because in many ways San Mateo
County is a biological hotspot. We have a
variety of habitats, some very sensitive
habitats, that are found no where else and
within those habitats are some endangered
species.
They introduced science-based management within the natural resources program,
which helps guide decisions about
improvements particularly maintenance
that was deferred due to the financial downturn, Finley said.
Birkeland agreed a key role of the parks
department is ongoing stewardship of open
space and noted Measure K will be instrumental.
[We] now have some money to address

some really significant infrastructure
needs, and that need continues, Birkeland
said. Thats certainly a challenge, we have
quite a bit of park property and theres
sometimes pressure to take more on. So its
recognizing that its wonderful to have all
this open space, but there is a cost to managing even what may seem to be a simple
property.
Other ongoing land management issues
the department must address include combating invasive species, reducing fire hazards and staying on top of tree mortality
an increasing challenge due to the drought,
Birkeland said.
The county also developed a new volunteer program called the Stewardship Corps,
which will ideally get more people
involved in learning about and caring for
park lands, Birkeland said.
She noted her transition includes shepherding ongoing projects initiated under
Finleys tenure.
For example, the county is planning the
Coyote Point promenade project, an estimated $6 million effort to improve nearly
1, 000 feet of shoreline. Enlarging the
beach as well as removing and replanting
trees on the county-owned Bayfront land is
a sea level rise adaptation strategy that also
provides enhanced recreational amenities.
Another initiative is to provide more
coastal trail access by creating the Green

Valley Trail, which will connect Gray
Whale Cove to the new 2.6-mile Devils
Slide Trail opened under Finley.
Birkeland noted the county has diverse
lands being bordered by both the coastside
as well as the Bayfront, and preserving
public open space requires a collaborative
approach with public as well as nonprofit
landowners.
One thing that struck me when I joined
the department, it was appealing but also a
challenge, is we have such a diverse array
of park property. Its really kind of amazing not only in geography from coastside
to Bay, but also in terms of the types of
amenities they provide, Birkeland said.
Finley said working for San Mateo
County was a highlight in her career, but
shes looking forward to visiting many of
the nations diverse parks with her puppy
as her sidekick in retirement.
Since she started her career as a college
student in 1978 working as a ranger at Muir
Woods, Finley said shes gone on to work
in Utah, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming and
Oregon.
I wish I had started at the county a long
time ago. It just brought into focus so
many things I learned about, Finley said.
Now, Im going to go out and enjoy many
parks that Ive worked on over my career all
over the West.
of our safest along the corridor. The new

San Carlos Station will provide an additional parking area to accommodate the
San Carlos Transit Village, Bartholomew
said in an email.
The transit center is part of the San
Carlos Transit Village, a mixed-use residential and commercial project approved
by the San Carlos City Council in late
2013. The project is a collaboration
between SamTrans and Prometheus Real
Estate Group to create six three-story residential buildings and two two-story office
and retail buildings. The property includes
an area between El Camino Real and the
Caltrain tracks, bordered by Oak Street in
the north and an area just south of San
Carlos Avenue in the south.
The 6. 26-acre site will include 202
rental units, recreational facilities,
25,800 square feet of commercial space
and a public plaza. The office and retail
buildings, which will be closest to the
Caltrain station entrance, will occupy

much of the current north and south parking lots. City officials expect the construction on the village, which began this
past summer, to be completed by the summer of 2018.
On an average 2016 weekday, 1,475 passengers boarded Caltrain at the San Carlos
station, according to the Caltrain 2016
Annual Passenger Count report. In addition to increased car, bus and shuttle parking, the transit center will make room for
wider sidewalks, increased greenery and
colored crosswalks across the main thoroughfares to accommodate the influx of
new residents and traffic in the area.
We do expect that number to increase
once the Village is built. Not only will it
be residential units, but businesses will be
a part of the mixed-use development as
well, Bartholomew said in an email.
San Carlos Mayor Bob Grassilli looks
forward to improved connectivity between
modes of transportation in San Carlos

once the center is completed.
It will be a way to get everyone connected. [The transit center] will improve
the look of [the station] and give us a more
of an easier in and out, he said.
Belmont Mayor Charles Stone believes
the Belmont Caltrain station is well
equipped to handle an increase in commuters while the transit center is under
construction.
Based on my personal observation,
there are two lots at the Belmont station, a
north lot and a south lot, he said. There
appears to be a lot of space to accommodate extra cars.
Stone, who also serves on the SamTrans
Board of Directors, is eager to see the
effects the transit center will have on easing the flow of traffic in San Carlos.
I think its a great project, he said.
Id like to see more of that kind of development in the future.

Years feasts. Said to signify togetherness, abundance and long life, its a dish
with symbolism that is as important as
taste. Indeed, youre supposed to leave
the bones, head and tail intact, a way to
help ensure that the new year will be a
winner from beginning to end.
When buying fish, many of us tend to
opt for the ease of fillets. The prospect of
buying, prepping and deboning a whole
fish might seem not just novel, but also
daunting. Ditto for the prospect of steaming a whole fish, a precarious project for
even experienced cooks.
So here I propose baking your whole
fish rather than steaming it, and wrapping it in foil to keep it moist. Its much
easier to cook it this way. It also has the
added benefit of creating an instant sauce.
But lets start at the beginning. Youre
at the store checking out the fish on display. How can you tell if a whole fish is
fres h ? It s ey es s h o ul d b e cl ear, n o t
cloudy, and its gills should be brightly
colored, red or pink.
Once youve picked your winner, ask
the fishmonger to clean it for you. Hell
clip off the gills, scrape off the scales
and remove the guts. If you dont plan to
head home right away, ask for a bag of ice
to place next to the fish, which will keep
it cold.
You begin prepping your fish by scoring it, slicing deeply into the flesh. This
will allow the marinade to penetrate to
the core and for the fish to cook evenly.
Ive called for traditional Chinese flavorings here, but youre welcome to adjust
them to your tastes. If, for example,
youre not a fan of chilies, leave them
out. If you hate cilantro, swap in another
fresh herb. The soy sauce is key because
i t co n t ri b ut es s al t as wel l as fl av o r,
which helps to season the blandish fish.
Then after just 20 minutes in the marinade, the fish is ready for the oven.
How will you know when it is done?
Pull the pan out of the oven, open up the
foil carefully (it will be steamy inside)
and poke the fish with a small, sharp
knife. If the knife slides in easily all the
way to the bone, the fish is done. If
theres some resistance, cook it a little
longer. When the fish has indeed finished
cooking, youll be rewarded not only
with beautifully fragrant flesh, but also
with a store of savory liquid on the bot-

chunks and transfer it to plates. After you
have removed the top fillet, you can lift
off the bone easily in one piece to expose
the bottom fillet. Once cooked, the fillets will come off the bone without a
struggle.
After you have filleted the fish, ladle
some of the cooking liquid over each portion and dig in. Its a treat any day of the
year.
BAKED WHOLE FISH F

OR CHINESE NEW YEAR
Cant find 1- to 1 1/2-pound whole
fish? Buy three smaller ones (about 2/3
to 3/4 pound each) and reduce the cooking
time to about 15 minutes.
Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
Two 1- to 1 1/2-pound whole striped
bass, branzino or trout, gutted, scaled and
gills removed
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2-inch chunk fresh ginger, peeled and
cut into matchsticks
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 to 4 tablespoons serrano or jalapeno
chilies, with seeds and ribs
4 scallions, white and green parts, cut
into thin strips
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, leaves
and stems
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a shallow
baking dish large enough to hold both
fish with foil.
Lay both fish on the counter. Working
in 1- to 2-inch intervals, use a sharp
knife to slash both sides of each fish perpendicular to the backbone (a 20-degree
angle down the rib cage). Transfer the
fish to the prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic,
ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil,
ch i l i es , s cal l i o n s an d ci l an t ro . St uff
some of the mixture into each slash on
both fish, as well as into the cavity
(most of the seasoning should go in the
slashes). Cover the pan with foil and let
the fish sit at room temperature for 20
minutes.
After 20 minutes, bake the fish on the
ovens middle shelf for 20 to 24 minutes,
or until the fish is just cooked through
(you can pierce it easily with a knife).
To serve, use a small knife to gently
scrape off the skin, then use a spoon to
lift off the fillets (they will come up in
chunks), and transfer one to each of 4
serving plates. Pour some of the juices
from the pan over each portion.

George Michael mourned

by boyfriend, ex-boyfriend
LONDON As mourners kept on
flocking Tuesday to George Michaels
home in north
London,
the
singers
former
longtime partner
and his current
boyfriend
both
spoke of their sadness at his death.
Hairstylist Fadi
Fawaz
tweeted I
George Michael
will never stop
missing you to Michael. He told the
Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday he
had gone to Michaels house so they
could attend a Christmas lunch and
found the 53-year-old singer dead in
bed.
Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking
forward to Christmas, and so was I,
Fawaz said. Now everything is ruined.
I want people to remember him the way
he was. He was a beautiful person.
Michaels former longtime partner
Kenny Goss, who was with the singer
for many years, said in a statement that
he was heartbroken by the death of
his former love.
He was a major part of my life and I
loved him very, very much. He was an
extremely kind and generous man,
Goss said.
Michael announced in 2011 that he
and Goss had separated. The pop star
had revealed his sexual orientation
after a 1998 arrest for lewd behavior in
a public toilet in Los Angeles.
Crowds of grieving fans placed flow-

favor a hypothetical revenue measure
to support essential city services and
facilities. Support among a similar
group for the same measure in an election the following year would jump by
3 percent.
A new recreation center has been
estimated to cost between $37 million
and $47 million, depending largely on
how much parking is built into the
facility. An additional $12 million
worth of renovations and fixes have
been identified for City Hall as well,
according to a city report designed to
identify all the citys necessary capital
improvements.
The report recommended nearly $17
million in fixes to city facilities over
the next five years. Ortiz said the city
has some capacity in its annual budget
which, in the 2015-16 fiscal year,
was about $100 million to address a
portion of the work, but not enough to

meanwhile, were filled with stories
about Michaels many generous acts,
often accompanied by his admonishments to keep them secret.
Garry Shandling died from

blood clot in heart, coroner says
LOS ANGELES Garry Shandling
died from a blood clot in his heart,
coroners officials
said Tuesday more
than seven months
after the comedians
unexpected death.
A report by Los
Angeles coroners
officials released
Tuesday states the
fatal clot occurred
Garry
after the comedian
Shandling
developed blood
clots in his legs, a
condition known as deep vein thrombosis. The comedian had not been feeling well during a trip to Hawaii, the
report stated. Shandling died March 24
after calling paramedics to his home.
Los Angeles coroners officials had
delayed issuing their determination of
what killed the 66-year-old until after a
review of his medical records and toxicology tests were completed. The toxicology results found only a therapeutic amount of Xanax and some cold
medication in his system.
In 1992, Shandling created his
comic masterpiece with The Larry

such as improvements to fire and
police stations, maintenance yards and
libraries.
Ortiz said he would favor moving
ahead with pursuit of a tax in 2017, but
said the challenge of building public
enthusiasm for the City Hall fixes
could influence the City Councils
decision.
I would like to see it in 2017, but I
dont know that we are going to be
able to do that, he said.
Officials must also identify the preferred means of financing the projects,
said Ortiz who suggested a sales or utility tax hike as well as a general obligation bond could be among the best
methods of raising the necessary
funds.
Concerns regarding the limited
amounts of money certain bonds can
raise, or the desire to fairly and equally
spread the burden of a new tax must be
considered before moving ahead, said
Ortiz.
It is still up in the air, he said of
the preferred tax measure to pursue.
Officials had discussed more uncon-

an egomaniacal late-night TV host
with an angst-ridden show-biz life
behind the scenes. The HBO series ran
until 1998.
As Larry, Shandling dug deep to confront his own demons, and did it brilliantly as the series teetered between
dual realities: public and private;
make-believe and painfully true.

Why not? she asks with a throaty

Hall, such as swapping the land with a
private developer who would build
housing at the property and erect a
new, modern city headquarters elsewhere.
Ortiz, however, said those talks have
stalled, as residents expressed concerns regarding the proposal to build a
dense residential development in
downtown Burlingame at the City Hall
property.
I dont know that is going anywhere right now, he said. But we are
exploring all kinds of things.
Looking ahead to 2017, Ortiz said he
considered fixing the building housing

priority.
The biggest hurdle for this year is
to figure out how to fix City Hall, he
said.
But he expressed greater certainty in
the ability of city officials to raise the
money needed to build a new recreation
center.
I think we have the support in the
community to do that, he said.

Contract Documents.
The State of California has adopted a schedule of the general
prevailing rates of per diem wages to be paid to the various

be at the contractors request and at contractors sole expense.
The securities shall be in a manner equivalent to the retention
to be released.
The Contractor and all subcontractors shall be licensed with

for the rejection of the bid.

proposal or awarded a contract for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations
(DIR) pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 at the time of bid.
