West Coast crab strike spreads

Half Moon Bay, San Francisco fishermen join comrades in price war
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In a move of solidarity amongst

those toiling in the grueling
Dungeness crab industry, Bay Area
fishermen have officially joined the
West Coast strike after their northern
comrades were slighted by buyers
dropping the price earlier in the week.
Fishermen from Pillar Point Harbor
near Half Moon Bay, along with those
in San Francisco, announced Friday
they too wouldnt venture to sea until a
better price is negotiated.

Although locals were still receiving

$3 per pound, the fact that others had
been offered just $2.75 fueled commercial crabbers to go on strike from
Northern California to the Canadian
border.
Were all fishermen and we all got
to be fishing for a fair price. So if
theyre trying to send boats out on a
price that we cant succeed on, then
were all going to stand behind the
other fishermen, said commercial
crabber Jim Anderson, who sits on the
states Dungeness Crab Task Force and
is a member of the Half Moon Bay

Seafood Marketing Association.

For the past five years, even though
the price of fuel and other costs have
increased, most fishermen have steadily been getting around $3 a pound selling to wholesale buyers. Plus, theyve
already compromised as theyd initially sought $3.25 at the start of this season which for the Bay Area began
Nov. 15, Anderson said.
While it might sound like small
change, a quarter means a lot to those
relying on the industry. Between Nov.
15 and Friday, a 25-cent reduction

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

ANNA SCHUESSLER/DAILY JOURNAL

Peninsula residents looking for a healthy start to the new

year have several guided hiking and walking options at
parks across San Mateo County on Jan. 1.
California State Parks is offering 50 guided walks at locations across the state as part of the fifth annual First Day
Hike, a nationwide initiative inviting people outdoors in
an effort to inspire them to continue visiting parks
throughout the year.
I think its good to use it as a day of recreation, said
State Park Ranger Nelle Lyons, who remarked on the benefits of exploring the outdoors New Years Day. If you think
about recreation, it has recreate in it. Its a way of refreshing yourself for the new year. It gets you thinking about
getting out in your parks for the rest of the year.
And California hikers are taking the bait. So far, State
Parks have received nothing but positive feedback for their

Adding sparkle to the celebration Years top news filled with

Small-production Champagnes popular at home this holiday weekend
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local wine sellers are seeing a growing interest in boutique Champagnes

produced by start-to-finish growers as
Peninsula residents ready themselves
for smaller celebrations at home this
New Years Eve.
Gary Westby, the Champagne buyer
for K&L Wine Merchants in Redwood
City, reports an increase in
Champagne sales this year compared
to last year.
Weve had a record season this

year, he said. I have run out of some

stuff.
Westby
has
been
sourcing
Champagne for the Redwood City wine
store for close to 17 years and has
noticed that the bubbly drinks popularity can fluctuate with current events.
We definitely noticed with
Champagne there was a huge pause in
sales after the election, he said. But
then it bounced back. We saw the same
thing happen after the crash in 2007.
People didnt stop drinking, but they
didnt feel like drinking anything that
was flashy.

890 Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025

In recent years, Westby has seen a

growing interest in Champagnes produced by smaller growers who see the
production process through from start
to finish. According to Westby, bigger
labels may outsource several aspects
of the production process, from growing the grapes to importing and distributing, which can drive up the price
of a bottle of bubbly. To meet customers demand, Westby has increased
the number of small-production
Champagnes that he has been stock-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fed up with Europes union across borders? Reject it.

Disgusted with the U.S. political establishment? Can it.
The news in 2016 was filled with battles over culture and
territory that exposed divisions far deeper than many realized. But people confronting those divides repeatedly
rejected the prospect of middle-ground solutions and the
institutions put in place to deliver them.

Ferry ridership surges on San Francisco Bay

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Ferry ridership on

the San Francisco Bay has surged by more
than a million passengers in the last four
years, as more commuters opt for boat rides
to avoid traffic-jammed roads.
The two major carriers, Golden Gate Ferry
and San Francisco Bay Ferry, have seen ridership jump to more than 5 million passengers a year.
The increase has coincided with the Bay
Areas economic boom. Water Emergency

Director Nina Rannells says traffic jams and

Teen charged with

burglary posts bail
A Santa Clara woman charged with five
counts of residential burglary this month
posted $100, 000 bail
and is out of custody,
according to the San
Mateo
District
Attorneys Office.
Briana Ortega, 18, was
arrested Dec. 14 in relation to five residential
burglaries along the
between
Briana Ortega Peninsula
November and December,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
Ortega was allegedly one of four suspects
who burglarized homes in San Carlos,
Redwood City and San Mateo between Nov.
30 and Dec. 14. The group of burglars stole
firearms, laptops, electronics and other
items from the homes. Ortega was the getaway driver for all of the burglaries, according to prosecutors.
Officers found stolen property from each of
the burglaries at Ortegas Santa Clara address.
She was granted a court-appointed lawyer and
pleaded not guilty. Her next court appearance
is Mar. 9, according to prosecutors.

overcrowding on BART is part of the reason

more people are riding ferries. A boom in
tourism has also had an impact. Whats
more, the commute on the ferries is pleasant, riders say.
The morning and evening commute is
the best part of my day, Donna Brennan,
who rides the Golden Gate ferry from her
home in Sausalito to her job in San
Francisco, told the Chronicle.
Many of the ferries have free Wi-Fi and
full bars, which allow commuters to have a
glass of wine or cocktail with views of the
San Francisco skyline and its iconic bridges
on the ride home.

The ferry business is so good that sometimes boats have to leave passengers
behind. But a solution is on the horizon.
The transportation authority will add
seven new boats over the next four years.
Each of the new boats can carry 400 passengers, cruise at 35 mph and will cost
$21 million.
The busiest ferry is Golden Gates San
Francisco-to-Larkspur run, which carries
8,200 passengers every weekday.
Aside from the commuter services, private
operators run ferry services to Alcatraz,
Angel Island and midday tourist runs to
Sausalito and Tiburon.

2126 Louis Road after receiving a report of

a house fire possibly involving a person
trapped inside, according to fire officials.
Upon arrival, crews immediately went
into search and rescue mode, trying to find
the person who was reportedly inside the
home.
However, they located the homes owner
outside and he confirmed that he was the
homes only resident and that no one else
was inside, fire officials said.
Firefighters were able to bring the fire
under control within about 30 minutes of
arrival and successfully prevented it from
spreading to other homes.
Firefighters are crediting a newly developed nozzle and hose technique with helping them quickly put out the fire. The technique known as nozzle-forward allows crews
to deploy larger hose lines and to move
them faster, resulting in more water being
delivered in less time with the same number
of firefighters, according to fire officials.

Coast Guard suspends search for

missing plane with six onboard
By Mark Gillispie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sutter Brown, a Pembroke Welsh corgi passed away peacefully with the Gov. Jerry Brown
and first lady Anne Gust Brown at his side.

Browns first dog Sutter has died

By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Sutter Brown, a

Pembroke Welsh
corgi
christened
Californias first dog by his owner Gov.
Jerry Brown, died Friday following a brief
illness. He was 13.
The dogs health had deteriorated rapidly
in recent days and the decision was made to
say goodbye, the governors press office
said in a statement.
He passed away peacefully with the governor and first lady Anne Gust Brown at his
side, and was laid to rest at the family ranch
in Colusa County, where he loved to roam,
sniff and play, the statement said.
Sutter was a fixture at the Capitol and on
the campaign trail where he softened the
image of the cantankerous governor and
helped cut the tension between Democrats
and Republicans in the midst of contentious negotiations.
Legislators, lobbyists and aides from
both parties sought selfies with the short,

pudgy, brown and white fluffy dog. Sutter

obliged, starring in countless photos with
his mouth open and ears perked.
A Twitter account in his name racked up
more than 11,000 followers. Tweets show
Sutter and younger sister Colusa, a corgi
mix, lounging around the governors office
or promoting his owners top priorities.
Sutter was rushed to an animal hospital
Oct. 7 and underwent emergency surgery,
said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for
Brown. Veterinarians discovered several
masses suspected to be cancer in his intestines, lymph nodes and liver, but they were
unable to remove them all.
Sutter, who shares the name of the 19thcentury
pioneer
who
established
Sacramentos earliest settlement, was the
pet of Browns sister, Kathleen Brown,
until she moved out of state following
Jerry Browns election as governor in
2010.
The governor and his wife adopted Sutter
and were often seen walking him from
home to the Capitol in the morning.

CLEVELAND The U.S. Coast Guard on

Friday suspended its search for an airplane
that was carrying a beverage distribution
company executive and five other people
when it vanished over Lake Erie shortly after
takeoff from the citys lakeshore airport.
The Coast Guard said it would step aside to
allow Cleveland to begin recovery efforts of
the plane and the victims.
The decision to suspend a search is never
easy, Capt. Michael Mullen, chief of
response for the Coast Guard 9th District,
said in a statement. I extend my deepest
condolences to the family and friends of
those who lost loved ones during this
tragedy.
John T. Fleming, the chief executive of a
Columbus-based beverage distribution company, was piloting the plane, which was carrying his wife, Sue Fleming, their teenage
sons, Jack and Andrew, a neighbor and the
neighbors daughter. The plane suddenly lost
altitude about 2 miles out during a scheduled
return trip to Columbus, according to a
flight-tracking service.
The Coast Guard began searching the air
after being notified soon after the planes
disappearance. High waves and blustery conditions prevented smaller Coast Guard boats
from the Cleveland area from deploying
Thursday night. A 140-foot Coast Guard cutter joined a search that covered 128 square
miles of the lake on Friday.
Mullen had held out the possibility of
finding survivors Friday morning despite

water temperatures that hovered around 40

degrees. But when asked if the twin-engine
corporate jet could land safely on Lake Erie,
he said, Aircraft are not designed to float,
especially in 12-foot seas.
Tracking service FlightAware logged only
three location pings for the plane after takeoff from Burke Lakefront Airport, and the
last one indicated rapid altitude loss.
Authorities have said there were no distress
signals from the pilot.
The aircraft took off westward from Burke,
then turned north across the lake, according
to the tracking service flightradar24.com.
The departure procedure at Burke could take
an aircraft over the lake before turning south
toward a destination, Mullen said.
The plane, which had made the roughly
half-hour trip from Columbus earlier in the
day, was registered to a limited liability
company under the same Columbus address
as Superior Beverage Group, the company
where Fleming was president and CEO.
Authorities detected faint hints but no
strong pulse from an emergency locating
transmitter, a beacon that could help
searchers find the plane, Mullen said. No
signs of debris were found.
The search overnight was made difficult by
snow squalls, high seas and darkness,
Mullen said. It would have been the pilots
responsibility to determine whether it was
safe to fly Thursday night, he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said
the Cessna Citation 525 plane left Burke at
10:50 p.m., and the Coast Guard said it was
notified about the missing plane by air traffic control at Burke about 30 minutes later.

Obituary

Paulette T. Connolly

July 7, 1928 December 20, 2016

Devoted wife for 58 years, beloved mother of five,
grandmother to seven, her friendships span oceans and
decades. Paulette was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY,
graduated from Marywood College (51), and married
Hugh F. Connolly, Esq. in 1952. After moving to California
in 1958, Paulette raised her five children in Hillsborough
and Rubicon Bay, Lake Tahoe. In addition to running a very
busy household, Paulette devoted many hours of her time
to volunteering with Catholic Charities, Assistance League
of San Mateo Countys Operation School Bell and Turnstyle Shop, Girl Scouts, and activities
at Our Lady of Angels. Her membership in the Burlingame Civic Club was an important part
of her Mondays, as were her friends at Peninsula Hospital cardiac rehab. Paulettes genius for
friendship and laughter is evidenced by her long term reign as the communication hub of the
Connolly/Rogers family of Ireland and New York, the OCallahans, the Irish Mafia, friends
from earliest childhood, college and California. Most recently, she made a home and a host of
new friends at the San Mateo Regent. Her sense of humor and sincere interest in others lives
was what impelled her many contacts to keep in touch for years.
Paulette is survived by her children: Colleen, Maureen, Tom & Christopher; grandchildren:
Deirdre, CJ, Casey, Brady, Ryan, Kelly & Tarah. Paulette will join Hugh and her son Brian,
whom she had sorely missed since 2008.

Mexican man charged with
rape had 19 deportations, removals

U.S. applications to McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, are up 34 percent so far.

College in Canada? After Trumps

win, more in U.S. are considering it
By Collin Binkley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For some college-bound students

distressed by the election of Donald
Trump, Canada is calling.
Colleges from Quebec to British
Columbia say applications and website traffic from the United States have
been surging since Trumps victory
Nov. 8. Although many Canadian
schools had also ramped up recruiting
in the U.S. recently, some say dismay
over the presidential election has
fueled a spike in interest beyond their
expectations.
Lara Godoff, a 17-year-old from
Napa, California, said she scrapped
any notion of staying in the U.S. the
day after the election. Among other
concerns, Godoff, a Democrat, said she
fears Trumps administration will ease
enforcement of federal rules against
sexual assault, making campuses less
safe for women.

Godoff had applied to one college in

Canada but added three more as safety
schools after the election.
If we live in a country where so
many people could elect Donald
Trump, then thats not a country I want
to live in, she said.
Applications to the University of
Toronto from American students have
jumped 70 percent compared with this
time last year, while several other
Canadian schools have seen increases
of 20 percent or more. U.S. applications to McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario, are up 34 percent
so far.
We cant ignore the election
results, but I think there are other
strengths that are attracting students
to the university, as well, said
Jennifer Peterman, ?senior manager of
global undergraduate recruitment at
McGill University in Montreal.
Students are also drawn by the schools
diversity and Canadas affordable cost

of living, she said.

In the U.S., officials at some colleges say its clear Trumps election is
tilting enrollment patterns. Some
recruiters say foreign students are
avoiding the U.S. amid worries about
safety and deportation, opting for
Canada or Australia instead. And
Canadian schools have noticed growing interest from China, India and
Pakistan.
I think everybody in international
education is a little uneasy, in part
because some of the rhetoric in the
campaign frightened people overseas, said Stephen Dunnett, vice
provost for international education at
the University at Buffalo. Its going
to be perhaps a little bit rocky for a
couple of years.
Although its too early to say how
many U. S. students will enroll in
Canada next fall, some colleges expect
to see more Americans on campus
based on the flurry of interest.

Storm clobbers northern New England with snow

By David Sharp
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Maine The most

powerful noreaster in nearly two years
brought heavy snow, powerful winds
and even thunder and lightning to
northern New England, leaving tens of
thousands of people in the dark Friday
and burying some towns under 2 feet of
snow.
More than 100,000 homes and businesses in Maine were without electricity at the storms peak, and residents

were warned that it could take days to

restore service. The National Weather
Service received reports of snow
falling at up to 6 inches per hour.
It went from just a garden-variety,
low-pressure system to a turbocharged
storm, meteorologist Eric Schwibs
said.
In Brunswick, resident Jason
Weymouth went to bed with a sense of
dread as powerful thunderclaps accompanied the falling snow.
It hit over the house, and it was
pretty loud and very strong and very

unusual. That set me a little bit on

edge, he said.
By Friday morning, he was among
the thousands of Maine residents without power. Compounding his misery:
His snowblower was unable to cope
with the heavy snow and his woodcarving shop was knocked offline for
the day.
The storms fury walloped some
places and skipped others as powerful
bands of snow buried some communities while others just miles away
received mostly rain.

Man charged with false

unemployment claims in three states
DES MOINES, Iowa A California man has been charged
with setting up fake businesses in three states, then using
names taken from temporary visas issued to student visitors
on a cultural exchange to obtain more than $355,000 in
unemployment benefits for nonexistent workers, federal
prosecutors in Iowa said in court documents.
Nikolai Monastyrski is charged in federal court in Iowa
with wire and mail fraud related to the scheme that prosecutors say he perpetrated there as well as in Illinois and
Pennsylvania.
A complaint filed Nov. 10 by Dana Johnson, a Chicagobased U. S. Department of Labor special agent, says
Monastyrski was able to get $114, 215 from Iowa
Workforce Development in 2014 and 2015 and $230,000 in
benefits from Illinois Department of Employment Security.
Illinois payouts go as far back as 2012 and some are as
recent as earlier this year. Additional claims were made
involving two nonexistent businesses in Pennsylvania
with payments of more than $11,300 paid out.

WICHITA, Kan. A Mexican man accused of raping a 13year-old girl on a Greyhound bus that traveled through
Kansas had been deported 10 times and voluntarily removed
from the U.S. another nine times since 2003, records
obtained by the Associated Press show.
Three U.S. Republican senators including Kansas
Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts demanded this month that
the Department of Homeland Security provide immigration
records for 38-year-old Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, who is
charged with a felony in the alleged Sept. 27 attack aboard
a bus in Geary County. He is being held in the Geary County
jail in Junction City, which is about 120 miles west of
Kansas City.
U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, from Iowa and chairman of
the judiciary committee, co-signed a Dec. 9 letter with
Moran and Roberts to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson, calling it an extremely disturbing case and
questioning how Martinez-Maldonado was able to re-enter
and remain in the country.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it has
placed a detainer a request to turn Martinez-Maldonado
over to ICE custody before he is released with Geary
County. ICE declined to discuss his specific case beyond its
October statement regarding the 10 deportations.

Syrias cease-fire holding despite minor violations

By Bassem Mroue
and Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT A nationwide Syrian

cease-fire brokered by Russia and
Turkey that went into effect at
midnight held Friday despite
minor violations, marking a
potential breakthrough in a conflict that has disregarded highlevel peace initiatives for over
five years.
The
Britain-based
Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
reported clashes early Friday
between troops and rebels in the
central province of Hama and near
the capital, Damascus. It said that
later in the day a man was killed by
sniper fire in eastern suburbs of
Damascus, becoming the first
fatality since the truce went into
effect. The group also reported an
aerial attack on the rebel-held
Barada Valley near Damascus.
The Syrian army denied reports
it was bombarding the Barada
Valley region saying opposition
claims aim to show that the army
is not abiding by the truce.
Opposition activist Mazen alShami, who is based in the
Damascus suburb of Douma, said
minor clashes nearby left one
rebel wounded. Activist Ahmad alMasalmeh, in the southern Daraa
province, said government forces
had opened fire on rebel-held
areas.
Several past attempts at halting
the fighting have failed. As with
previous agreements, the current
cease-fire excludes both the alQaida-affiliated Fatah al-Sham
Front, which fights alongside
other rebel factions, and the
Islamic State group.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
said Thursday that the cease-fire
will be guaranteed by both
Moscow and Turkey, and the agreement has been welcomed by Iran.
Moscow and Tehran provide crucial
military support to Syrian
President Bashar Assad, while
Turkey has long served as a rear
base and source of supplies for the
rebels.
If it holds, the truce between the
Syrian government and the countrys mainstream rebel forces will

Russia urges U.N. Security Council to endorse cease-fire

By Edith M. Lederer

UNITED NATIONS Russia

urged the U.N. Security Council
on Friday to quickly adopt a draft
resolution endorsing the ceasefire agreement in Syria and reiterating support for a roadmap to
peace that starts with a transitional government.
The draft also calls for rapid,
safe and unhindered access to
deliver humanitarian aid throughout the country. And it looks forward to a meeting in late January
between the Syrian government
and opposition in Kazakhstans
capital Astana as an important
part of the Syrian-led political

process facilitated by the United

Nations.
Russia and Turkey, who brokered the cease-fire agreement,
circulated the text to Security
Council members Thursday
night.
Russias U. N. Ambassador
Vitaly Churkin formally presented the draft at a closed council
meeting Friday morning. In
response to comments from
council members, Russia circulated a revised text late Friday and
Churkin said he hopes for a vote
on Saturday morning.
The cease-fire agreement, if it
holds, would mark a potential
breakthrough in a conflict that
began in 2011 with an uprising
against decades of rule by

President Bashar Assads family

and has left over 250,000 dead
and more than 13.5 million people in need of urgent assistance,
and triggered a refugee crisis
across Europe.
The draft resolution reiterates
that the only sustainable solution to the current crisis in the
Syrian Arab Republic is through
an inclusive and Syrian-led political process based on the Geneva
communique of June 30, 2012,
which was endorsed by the
Security Council.
The communique, adopted by
key nations, calls for the formation of a transitional government
with full executive powers on
the basis of mutual consent and
steps leading to elections.

be followed by peace talks next

month in Kazakhstan, Putin said
in announcing the agreement. He
described it, however, as quite
fragile and requiring special
attention and patience.
Irans
Foreign
Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif called the

cease-fire a major achievement

in a tweet Friday. Lets build on it
by tackling the roots of extremist
terror, he added.
Russia said the deal was signed
by seven of Syrias major rebel
factions, though none of them
immediately confirmed it, and one

denied signing it.

At U.N. headquarters in New
York, Russias U.N. Ambassador
Vitaly Churkin circulated a draft
resolution that would endorse the
cease-fire agreement and said he
hoped for a vote Saturday morning. But several council members

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

said they needed time to study the

agreement and the resolution so it
wasnt clear when a vote would
take place.
U.N. humanitarian chief Stephen
OBrien urged the Syrian government in an interview with the
Associated Press to give the green
light for the United Nations to
deliver aid to thousands in need in
the war-ravaged country and ensure
aid workers safety.
He called the cessation of hostilities extremely welcome and said
incessant and relentless contacts
are going on with the government, but so far there has been no
positive response.
Jan Egeland, Special Advisor to
the U.N. Special Envoy for Syria,
told AP the U.N. especially wants
to get aid to the 15 besieged areas
where some 700,000 people live,
but it needs security guarantees
from all sides and were not given
them.
The reports I have from the field
is that there is a decrease, a marked
decrease in fighting, in bombing,
in violence, compared to yesterday. But certainly theres been a
number of violations, he said.
January needs to be really different, Egeland stressed. If not
there will be starvation, there
will be untold, unnecessary
deaths.
The truce came on the heels of a
Russian-Turkish agreement earlier
this month to evacuate the last
rebels from eastern Aleppo after
they were confined to a tiny
enclave by a government offensive. The retaking of all of Aleppo
marked Assads greatest victory
since the start of the 2011 uprising
against his familys four-decade
rule.
The defeat of the terrorists in
Aleppo is an important step
toward ending the war, Assad said
in an interview with TG5, an
Italian TV station, adding that the
capture of the city does not mean
that the war has ended because terrorists are still in Syria.
The United States was left out of
both agreements, reflecting the
deterioration of relations between
Moscow and Washington after the
failure of previous diplomatic
efforts on Syria.

Obamas spat with

Moscow is latest in long line

REUTERS

Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during his annual end-of-year news conference in
Moscow, Russia.

Russia, shrugs off Obama,

looks to friendlier Trump
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU Stung by new punishments, Russia is looking straight past

President Barack Obama to Donald Trump in
hopes the president-elect will reverse the
tough U.S. stance toward Moscow of the last
eight years. In a stunning embrace of a longtime U.S. adversary, Trump is siding with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Whether Trump steers the U.S. toward or
away from Russia upon taking office is shaping up as the first major test of his foreign
policy disposition and his willingness to
buck fellow Republicans, who for years have
argued Obama wasnt tough enough. Now
that Obama has finally sanctioned Russia
over hacking allegations, Putin has essentially put relations on hold till Trump takes
over.
Great move on delay (by V. Putin),
Trump wrote Friday on Twitter. I always
knew he was very smart!
He was referring to Putins announcement
that Russia wont immediately retaliate after
Obama ordered sanctions on Russian spy
agencies, closed two Russian compounds
and expelled 35 diplomats the U.S. said were
really spies. Though Putin reserved the right
to hit back later, he suggested that wont be
necessary with Trump in office.
Brushing off Obama, Putin said Russia
would plan steps to restore U.S. ties based
on the policies that will be carried out by the
administration of President D. Trump. Not

only would Russia not

kick Americans out, Putin
said, he was inviting the
kids of all U.S. diplomats
to the Kremlins New
Years and Christmas parties.
At this point, theyre
trolling Obama, said
Olga Oliker, who directs
Barack Obama the Russia program at the
Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
The Obama administration said it had seen
Putins remarks but had
nothing more to say.
Trumps move to side
with a foreign adversary
over the sitting U.S.
president was a striking
Donald Trump departure from typical
diplomatic practice. In a
sign he wanted maximum publicity, Trump
pinned the tweet to the top of his Twitter
page so it would remain there indefinitely.
Russia denies the U.S. intelligence communitys assessment that in an attempt to
help Trump win the presidency, Moscow
orchestrated cyber breaches in which tens of
thousands of Democrats emails were stolen
and later made public. Trump, too, has
refused to accept that conclusion and insisted the country should just move on,
though he has agreed to meet next week with
intelligence leaders to learn more.

U.S. relations with Moscow during and after the

Cold War have been marred by diplomatic
dustups ranging from espionage scandals to
an Olympics boycott.
Current tensions, highlighted by President
Barack Obamas decision to impose sanctions
and expel 35 Russia diplomats, are exceptional
because they stem from U.S. allegations of
Russian cyber meddling in the presidential
election and because they are playing out
during a White House transition. They also
coincide with a collapse of military-to-military
relations and nervousness in Europe over
Russias annexation of Crimea and aggression
in eastern Ukraine.
Some of the more significant episodes of the
past three decades:
MAY 2013: A U.S. diplomat was expelled after
the Kremlins security services said he tried to
recruit a Russian agent, and they displayed
tradecraft tools that seemed straight from a spy
thriller: wigs, packets of cash, a knife, map and
compass, and a letter promising millions for
long-term cooperation.The FSB, the successor
agency to the Soviet-era KGB, identified the
diplomat as Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the
U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The Fogle case was a
reminder that years after the Cold War ended
with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia
and the United States still spy on each other
and maintain active counterespionage
operations.
DECEMBER 2012: President Vladimir Putin
signed into law a ban on adoptions of Russian
children by American citizens. The ban was a
blow to U.S.-Russian diplomatic relations and
was imposed in response to Russian accusations
of abuses of adopted Russian children in the
United States. It was included in a broader
Russian law retaliating for U.S. passage of the
Magnitsky Act, an effort to punish Russian
human rights violators.
JULY 2010: In the biggest spy swap since the
Cold War, 10 confessed Russian agents who
infiltrated suburban America as sleeper agents
were ordered deported in exchange for four
people convicted of betraying Moscow to the
West. The agents, many speaking in heavy
Russian accents despite having spent years in
the U.S., pleaded guilty to conspiracy, were
sentenced to time served and were ordered out

of the country. The 10 were accused of

embedding themselves in ordinary American
life while leading double lives complete with
false passports, secret code words, fake names,
and encrypted radio.
FEBRUARY 2001:
A veteran FBI
counterintelligence agent, Robert P. Hanssen,
was arrested and charged with committing
espionage for Russia and the former Soviet
Union by providing highly classified national
security information to intelligence officers
assigned to the Soviet embassy in Washington.
In the aftermath, the U.S. expelled 50 Russian
diplomats. The FBI has called Hanssen the most
damaging spy in the bureaus history.
FEBRUARY 1994: The U.S. expelled Russian
senior intelligence officer Alexander Lysenko,
saying he was in a position to be responsible
for the spying of CIA agent Aldrich Ames. This
was just days after Ames and his wife, Rosario,
were arrested on charges of selling secrets to
Moscow from at least 1985 to 1993. Even in
expelling Lysenko, the administration of
President Bill Clinton softened the blow by
emphasizing the importance of strong ties with
Russia and the continuation of reforms under
Boris Yeltsin, who was seen as key to Russias
move toward democracy.
OCTOBER 1986: In one of the more memorable
tit-for-tat expulsions for alleged espionage
activities, President Ronald Reagan ordered 55
Soviet diplomats in Washington and San
Francisco to leave the U.S., shortly after expelling
25 others from the Soviet mission to the United
Nations.The Soviets retaliated each time, kicking
out American diplomats and announcing that
the U.S. missions in Moscow and Leningrad
could no longer employ Soviet workers.
MARCH 1980: In response to the Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979,
President Jimmy Carter announced the United
States would boycott the Summer Olympic
Games scheduled to be held in Moscow. He
acted when the Soviets refused to comply with
Carters ultimatum for the withdrawal of their
troops from Afghanistan by February. The
Soviets retaliated by leading a communist-bloc
boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games
held in Los Angeles. The Soviet army did not
leave Afghanistan until 1989.

Stocks notched big gains in

16 despite an early stumble
By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In a year with no shortage of

surprises and stomach-churning
turns in the market, stock
investors can feel pretty good
about 2016.
Wall Street repeatedly bounced
back from steep slumps, including
the worst start to any year for
stocks, the second correction for
the market in five months and
investor fears of a global slowdown. It also weathered plummeting oil prices and the surprising
outcomes of Britains vote to
leave the European Union and
Donald Trumps U.S. presidential
election win.
A turnaround in company earnings growth, more stable oil
prices, a steadily improving U.S.
economy and job market all
helped keep the market on an
upward trajectory. More recently,
investor optimism that the
Republican election sweep will
usher in a bevy of business-friendly policies spurred the market to
new heights.
Its been the year of the unlikely happening, but the crazy thing
about the unlikely happening is
you would expect that to lead to
big sell-offs, and we experienced
the exact opposite, said J. J.
Kinahan, TD Ameritrades chief
strategist. The more things happened that were unlikely, the more
we seemed to rally.
The Standard & Poors 500
index, the broadest measure of the
stock market, closed out the year
with a gain of 9.5 percent after an
essentially flat finish in 2015.
Including dividends, the total
return was 11.96 percent. That
means if you invested $1,000 in
an S&P 500 index fund at the
beginning of the year youd wind
up with slightly less than
$1,119.60 at the end of the year,
after expenses.
Other major market indexes also
delivered solid gains. The Dow

OTHER INDEXES

Jones industrial average gained

13.4 percent, a surge that briefly
had the 30-company average flirting with crossing the 20, 000
mark. The Nasdaq composite
notched a 7.5 percent gain.
Small-company stocks trounced
the rest of the market, however,
especially since the election. The
Russell 2000 index soared 19.5
percent in 2016.
Investors anticipate that smaller companies will benefit more
from an improving U.S. economy
than their larger rivals because
they tend to do far more of their
business domestically. They also
have fewer ways to dodge taxes
through overseas subsidiaries, so
theyll have more to gain if corporate taxes go down, and theyll
also have less to lose if trade frictions flare up.
For the most part, markets overseas also fared better than in
2015.
In Europe, Britains market
closed the year at a record high
that left the index with a 14.4 percent gain, despite jitters that
rocked the market following the
summers Brexit vote to leave
European Union. Indexes in
Germany and France rose 6.9 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively.
Japans Nikkei and Hong Kongs

benchmark index each eked out a

gain of 0.4 percent.
Few anticipated the kinds of
gains for U.S. stocks this year in
January, when the market kicked
of the year in a deep slump that
knocked the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P
500 into a correction, or a drop of
10 percent or more from their
recent peaks. For the S&P 500, it
was the second correction in five
months.
Fear that an economic slump in
China could spark a global economic slowdown and alarm as the
price of crude oil fell below $30 a
barrel to its lowest level in 12
years triggered the market slide.
Weak U.S. economic data didnt
help.
The downturn was a surprise to
many investors. Few expected
another market correction so
soon, and the Federal Reserves
move in December 2015 to raise
interest rates for the first time in
nearly 10 years signaled to many
that the U. S. economy was
healthy.
By the end of March, the market
had started to regain its footing.
By April, it recouped its losses

market sharply lower and sent

investors piling into U.S. bonds.
The slide lasted only a couple of
days, and once again the market
headed mostly higher.
Throughout the summer and into
early fall, stocks rode an encouraging wave of developments: The
U.S. job market continued to post
strong monthly gains. Consumer
confidence strengthened. More
companies began to report better
earnings and revenue for the third
quarter, snapping a losing streak
of five quarters for S&P 500 companies, according to S&P Global.
And crude oil prices stabilized,
holding above $50. An agreement
by OPEC and other major oil-producing nations to cut production
next year in an effort to mitigate a
glut in global supplies helped
support energy prices. U. S.
benchmark crude finished the year
up 45 percent at $53.72 a barrel.
Thats far lower than it was in
mid-2014, when it topped $100 a
barrel.
The market jitters returned as the
race between Trump and Hillary
Clinton began to tighten, leading
to a nine-day slump for stocks
ahead of Election Day.
Wall Street had largely seen
Clinton as more likely to maintain the status quo, while viewing

Trumps polices as less clear. The

billionaires surprise win initially
set off a sharp sell-off in Asian
markets, signaling more pain for
U.S. investors. But the opposite
happened.
Global financial markets soon
steadied and U.S. stocks kicked off
a rally that extended well into
December, driving the major U.S.
stock indexes to record highs.
Investors are now betting that
Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress will have a clear
pathway to boost infrastructure
spending, cut taxes and relax regulations that affect energy, finance
and other businesses.
That agenda has flipped
investors priorities since the
election away from defensive
assets like bonds, utilities and
phone companies, which traders
had favored for much of this year,
to financial, industrial and smallcap stocks.
Its also increased expectations
of higher inflation and interest
rates next year, which could make
some fixed-income investments
like bonds, less attractive.
The anticipation of higher interest rates led to a sell-off in bonds
since the election that sent bond
prices lower and drove up the yield
on the 10-year Treasury note to
the highest level in more than two
years. The yield, which is used to
set interest rates on many kinds of
loans including mortgages, bottomed out at 1.36 percent in July
and went as high as 2.60 percent
in mid-December.
The move away from bonds,
utilities and other safe-play assets
is likely to continue as long as
investors believe that Trumps
economic policies will lead to
economic growth and usher in
higher interest rates.
The investment landscape has
changed due largely to the election, said Terry Sandven, chief
equity strategist at U. S. Bank

Benefits from Indian

cash overhaul elusive
after deadline passes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI Fifty days ago, India yanked most of its

currency from circulation without warning, jolting the
economy and leaving most citizens scrambling for cash. As
the deadline for exchanging the devalued 500- and 1,000rupee notes for new ones hit on Friday, many Indians were
still stuck waiting in long bank lines.
Empty ATMs and ever-changing rules prevented people
from withdrawing money, and many small, cash-reliant
businesses from cinemas to neighborhood grocery stores
suffered huge losses or went under.
Despite those problems, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
said his Nov. 8 demonetization decree succeeded in uncovering tax evasion and cracking down on graft. The Indian
government is urging patience, insisting its playing a
long game that will eventually modernize Indian society
and benefit the poor.
So far, despite the widespread inconvenience and costs,
most of the countrys 1.25 billion citizens appear to be taking Modis word for it.
Modis announcement that 500 and 1,000 rupee bills
making up 86 percent of Indias currency were no longer
legal tender has posed an enormous hardship for millions of
people who use cash for everything from salaries to cellphone charges.
Almost immediately, serpentine lines appeared at banks
and ATMs as people waited hours to deposit or exchange old
currency notes for new bills.

Whats a Nueva?
Thats the first question Nueva
School cross country head coach Jeff
Gilkey most often fields from people
who have never heard of the 4-yearold private school at the site of the
old Bay Meadows Racetrack in San
Mateo.
Going forward, instead of giving
the

explanation
Nueva is Spanish for new it
might be more effective to simply
point out Nueva is the alma mater of
Jake Lange.
Hes huge, Gilkey said of Langes
legacy. The big difference here is a

lot of these kids dont come from athletic backgrounds. Its mostly academic, so a lot of them have never
played an organized sport before
let alone competing with hundreds of
kids, thousands of kids from around
the county.
Lange put Nueva School athletics
on the map this year. Not only did the
senior cross-country star bring home
the schools first-ever Central Coast
Section championship, he also
became Nuevas first official collegiate athletics recruit as a commit to
the cross-country intensive Division
III program at Williams UniversityMassachusetts.

Gayer is one of the

best ever out of Mills
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Consider this this season was

merely a warm-up for Peninsula
Athletic League girls cross-country
champion Sarah Gayer.
Focused towards peaking in the
coming spring for track and field season, Gayer still turned in one of the
greatest cross-country seasons in
Mills history. The senior took home
the PAL title with a dominant time of
18 minutes, 37 seconds at the 2.95mile course at Crystal Springs. She
followed that with a bronze-medal run
at the Central Coast Section Division
III finals with an 18:32.58.
Now Gayer is the Daily Journal
Girls Cross Country Runner of the
Year, who Mills head coach Tim Tuff

referred to as a coachs dream.

Shes a coachs favorite athlete,
Tuff said. She does everything shes
told and shes enthusiastic about it,
so she sets a wonderful example.
The hard-working, amiable Gayer
pretty much willed her way into Mills
history with an unorthodox running style and a summer track season
that overlaps the beginning of high
school cross country becoming the
second most important Mills cross
country runner ever, trailing just
1999 graduate Lauren Gustafson in the
record books.
That puts Gayer in prestigious company. Gustafson went on to run at
Stanford. Gayer declined to comment
on where she will attend college, but

M-A girls work hard to beat rival Gators

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Menlo-Atherton and Sacred Heart

Prep girls basketball teams both had
strong preseason results at the end of 2016.
So when they met in the championship
game of Competitive 2 bracket at the
Coaches vs. Cancer tournament at Eastside
College Prep in East Palo Alto, it was a
chance to see how good the two squads really were.
Coming into the game, the teams had a
combined record of 15-2, with only one
loss apiece. While the final score of 52-30
in favor of M-A suggests a blowout, the
game was anything but. SHP harassed the
Bears throughout the first half and it wasnt
until the final two quarters that M-A finally
found the rhythm that makes them the team
to beat in the Peninsula Athletic League
South.
Our coach is trying to get us a preseason
with quality competition, said M-A post
player Greer Hoyem, who scored 16 points
against the Gators and was named the brack-

ets tournament MVP.

Its good for us.
After both teams struggled in the first
half, M-A (9-1) came out and dominated the
third quarter defensively before putting
everything together, both offensively and
defensively, over the final eight minutes.
Even though we had people in open
spots, we felt rushed (in the first half), said
M-A coach Markisha Coleman. At halftime
we got an opportunity to settle down. With
10 minutes (of halftime), you can do a lot.
In the third quarter, the Bears played with
a different confidence, particularly on
defense. After getting outworked on the
boards in the first half, M-A absolutely ruled
the glass in the third quarter. The Bears
pulled down 10 rebounds in the first four
minutes of the second half and finished the
quarter with a 16-4 advantage, holding the
Gators to just three, third-quarter points.
That rebounding prowess led to a rhythm
on offense. The Bears scored the first eight
points of the quarter and after SHPs
Charlotte Levison made 1 of 2 free throws,
the Bears embarked on an 6-0 run to lead 35-

20 after three.
The Bears continued their strong play in
the fourth quarter, scoring a game-high 17
points over the final eight minutes.
In the third quarter, I think our mindset
was focused more on defense, Coleman
said. In the fourth, we put our entire game
plan together.
SHPs game plan was to try to limit the
Bears frontline that, in addition to Hoyem,
features Ofa Sili, Megan Sparrow and Stella
Kailahi.
Hoyem drew concentrated interest as she
has been among the best players in the section so far this season. The Bears managed
to get the ball to Hoyem in the post, but the
Gators did a good job of making sure there
were two and three defender when she turned
to make her move to the basket.
A team like that, especially with their
size, youre going to have to make them
work for every shot, said SHP coach
Melanie Murphy. I think we got away from
that a little bit in the second half.
To her credit, Hoyem realized she needed
to do a better job of passing out of the double and triple teams.
I need to do a better job looking out (to
the perimeter), Hoyem said.
After scoring just five points in the first
quarter, the Gators finally found a way to put
consistent pressure on the M-A defense
and that was to put the ball on the floor and
attack the rim. All four of their field goals in
the second period came at the rim off of dribble penetration.

The Stanford sideline celebrates after North Carolina missed a game-tying two-point
conversion in the Cardinals 25-23 Sun Bowl victory over the Tar Heels.

Stanford tops UNC

for Sun Bowl crown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EL PASO, Texas Bryce Love took over

for the absent Christian McCaffrey in the
Stanford backfield, running for 119 yards and
catching a 49-yard touchdown pass to help
the No. 16 Cardinal beat North Carolina 2523 on Friday in the Sun Bowl.
Stanford (10-3) held on after North
Carolina (8-5) pulled within two with 25 seconds left on Mitch Trubiskys 2-yard pass to
Bug Howard, sacking Trubisky on the 2point conversion try.
McCaffrey skipped the bowl game to focus
on his NFL career.
Stanford took a 25-17 lead on Conrad
Ukropinas 27-yard field goal with 3:23 left.
North Carolina was forced to punt on its next
series, but used two timeouts to get the ball
back.
After taking over at their own 3, the Tar
Heels drove 97 yards in 10 plays and 1:11.
After competing passes of 44 and 27 yards,
Trubisky capped the drive with the 2-yard
scoring pass to Howard.
Stanford then sacked Trubisky on the 2point try, a rush led by Solomon Thomas
forcing the quarterback to retreat before
being taken down. Thomas was selected the
games MVP, and the Cardinal defense also
got a big game from safety Dallas Lloyd.
Lloyd intercepted Trubiskys pass in the
first half, then again early in the fourth quarter. He returned that one 19 yards for a touchdown to give Stanford a 22-17 lead. That
stalled a North Carolina rally that saw it go
from being down 13-7 at the half and 16-7

early in the third to taking a 17-16 lead. That

came after a 37-yard field goal by Nick Weiler
and a 5-yard TD run by Jordon Brown.

ALAMEDA Suspended Oakland Raiders

pass rusher Aldon Smith will not be reinstated
by the NFL this season.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday
that the league has deferred a decision on
Smiths petition for reinstatement and will begin

Aldon Smith was eligible to be reinstated on Nov. 17, 2016, and

pleased with the leagues choice to put off a decision until 2017.
Little disappointed, honestly, Del Rio said.
Obviously its not my job to make a ruling, but

The takeaway
Stanfo rd: The Cardinal faced a lot of
problems Friday. Starting quarterback
Kellery Chryst left with a knee injury in the
second quarter, forcing backup Ryan Burns
into the game. At that point, they were without their top two backfield weapons. The
Cardinal also uncharacteristically shot themselves in the foot with penalties, including
two crucial ones that forced it into field goal
tries. They finished the game with 12 penalties for 85 yards, but still won. Stanford also
had a touchdown overturned on review.
Ukropina kicked four field goals to tie a Sun
Bowl record and was named the games Most
Valuable Special Teams Player. The Cardinal
adjusted the game plan a little without
McCaffrey, coming out throwing on four of
their first five plays against a North Carolina
defense loaded up to stop the run.
No rth Caro l i na: The Tar Heels hurt
themselves in the first half with two
turnovers, each of which led to a field goal,
then added a killer in the third quarter when
Lloyd intercepted Trubiskys pass and
returned it for a TD. UNC couldnt overcome
those mistakes. Defensively, however,

Cardinal to kick four field goals despite

take care of.
Del Rio noted that Smith is still paying a
price while other players who have also had offfield issues have been permitted to return.
I see some of the guys that have been
allowed back and my question is, whats the difference? Del Rio said. If a guy has a chance he
should have a chance to make a living. I dont
really agree with whats gone down, but its not
my job. Well move on as a team. Thats what
we have to do, but Im a little disappointed.
The Raiders (12-3) finish the regular season
on Sunday in Denver and will be making their
first playoff appearance since 2002.
Smiths current suspension stemmed from an
arrest in August 2015 on charges of drunken
driving, hit and run, and vandalism, which led
to his release by the San Francisco 49ers. That
was Smiths fifth run-in with the law since joining the NFL as a first-round pick by San
Francisco in 2011.
Smith signed with Oakland in September
2015 and played nine games before being suspended for a second time by the NFL.
He also missed the first nine games of the
2014.

Better rating eyed

for New Years Eve
college semifinals
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Years Eve and the College Football

Playoff were not a great mix last year.
ESPN is hoping that changes Saturday.
After ratings for the CFP semifinals
plummeted last year doomed in part by
two blowouts the playoff adjusted future
schedules to avoid conflict with the
biggest social-gathering night of the
year. That change came far too late to
affect this years semis, so the AlabamaWashington and Ohio State-Clemson
games will occur Saturday while countless
fans prepare to ring in 2017.
I think were definitely hopeful, said
ESPN vice president of programming Nick
Dawson, who oversees college football
for the network. Its a good mix across
the country for us. Hopefully, competitive
games thats the one part obviously we
cant control but the other factors that
tilt in our favor over last year are a
Saturday date for Dec. 31 and also the
slight adjustment we made with the start
times.
Moving those games up an hour than
what the schedule was last year might
prove big. Alabama-Washington at the
Peach Bowl begins at 3 p.m. EST, Ohio
State-Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl begins
at 7 p.m. Both games are on ESPN.
Those with New Years parties in
Tuscaloosa and Seattle, theyre certainly
safe.
Those in Columbus and South Carolina,
they may miss the first few hours of Dick
Clarks New Years Rockin Eve with Ryan
Seacrest but should be free in plenty of
time to see the ball drop in Times Square.

Brent Musburger said on a recent conference call. Its not happening. Thats a

Playoff. Weve all got parties to go to.
Youre not going to beat the parties on
New Years Eve. All the wives, mothers of
the world, they put up with all of us football fans through the years. But New
Years Eve? I dont think so.
The next time the CFP is scheduled to
collide with New Years Eve is 2021, after
the changes made earlier this year.
In the initial year of the CFP, with the
semifinals on Jan. 1 and with the added
benefit of the playoff being new and different not to mention top coaches like
Nick Saban and Urban Meyer squaring off
in one game, top quarterbacks like Jameis
Winston and Marcus Mariota in the other
the Ohio State-Alabama and Florida
State-Oregon games averaged about 28.2
million viewers.
Last year, on Dec. 31, Michigan StateAlabama and Oklahoma-Clemson averaged about 17 million viewers.
Certainly the New Years Eve date, a
midweek date, was part of the issue,
Dawson said. But it is shortsighted to say
it is the entire issue.
To be fair, the viewership numbers also
do not tell the entire story.
ESPN had more than 1 million people
following each of the semifinals through
digital streaming last year, with nearly 2
million doing so for the championship
game. And its not like the games have
been disasters out of the six total
games in the first two years of the CFP,
four ranked among the six most-watched
cable telecasts in history, ESPN said.

WHATS AT STAKE
The Tigers are trying to get back to the College Football Playoff national championship
game for the second consecutive season.The
Buckeyes won the first playoff after the 2014
season and a victory against the Tigers would
put coach Urban Meyer a win away from him
fourth national championship.
KEY MATCHUP
Ohio States offensive line vs. Clemsons defensive line in pass protection.The Buckeyes
have allowed 25 sacks. At 2.08 per game, that
ranks 63rd in the nation. Thirteen of those
sacks came against Michigan and Penn State.
Right tackle Isaiah Prince has been especially
inconsistent against the better pass rushers
he has faced.The Tigers rank third in the country with 46 sacks, though they get a lot of their
sacks from tackles Carlos Watkins (8.5) and
Dexter Lawrence (6.5). Prince will likely see a
lot of DE Christian Wilkins (3 1-2 sacks).
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Ohio State: Malik Hooker. The All-America
safety has six interceptions, three returned
for touchdowns. He leads one of the best secondaries in the country and an Ohio State
defense that ranked sixth in the nation with
19 interceptions, including seven returned
for touchdowns.
Clemson: Deshaun Watson.The junior quarterback and two-time Heisman finalist can
dominate a game as few quarterbacks in the
country. He has passed for 3,914 yards and
37 touchdowns. His running was down from
last year, but in the big games he is likely to
break out that part of his game.
FACTS & FIGURES
Since 2011, Clemson is 68-13 and Ohio State
is 67-12. Only Alabama (75-7) has a better
record in FBS. ... Meyer is 10-2 in bowl games,
including the College Football Playoff championship game, in his career. His only losses
came to Michigan in in the Capital One Bowl
after the 2007 season when he was with
Florida, and to Clemson in the Orange Bowl
after the 2013 season with Ohio State ... Ohio

HIKE
Continued from page 1
First Day Hikes.
Everything weve received has been positive, asking for more, said State Parks
spokesman Greg Imura.
Across California, 1,993 hikers participated in First Day Hikes in 2016, up more than
600 hikers from the year before. On Sunday,
50 state parks are offering First Day Hikes,
up from the 43 parks that participated in
2016, Imura said.
San Mateo County is home to three coastside state parks offering First Day Hikes on
Jan. 1. Ao Nuevo State Park and Pescadero
Marsh Natural Preserve are welcoming visitors to the southern San Mateo County coastline.
State Parks Burleigh Murray Ranch lies
about 3 miles inland from Half Moon Bay and
will also host a New Years Day hike. Lyons,
who works on interpretive programs offered
at state parks along San Mateo Countys
coast, said hikers at Burleigh Murray Ranch
and Pescaderos marsh can expect an estimated two-hour guided walk with a docent
explaining the birds and plants at each location.
Ranch visitors will hike Mills Creek Trail,
which winds through a dry, dusty chaparral
landscape and past a historic dairy barn. At
Pescaderos preserve, visitors will learn
about the importance of marshland and may
even see deer appear, Lyons said.
At Ao Nuevo, Jan. 1 hikes are business as
usual. The park is busiest during winter
months when thousands of elephant seals
return to the coast to breed.
Mike Merritt, a state park interpreter at
Ao Nuevo, welcomes the First Day Hikes
initiative but says it hasnt had much of an
impact on the number of people coming to
Ao Nuevo New Years Day. The park offers
daily guided tours between Dec. 15 and March
31.
Its funny for us because we always have
walks on Jan. 1, he said.
Hikers hopeful to see elephant seals at Ao
Nuevo should buy tickets to the 3-mile guided walk in advance, Merritt advises. Tickets
often sell out on days with good weather and
though some walk-in tickets may be available day-of, they are often gone by mid-day,
he said.
If people do come, they should come
early, Merritt said.
The proximity of Ao Nuevo to other near-

LOCAL

by trails on the coast and in the redwood

forests farther inland make it a promising
destination for hikers whether or not they are
able to secure tickets to see the elephant
seals.
San Mateo County Parks Department has
also been doing its part to invite residents
outdoors in 2017.
There is no better way to get a fresh start
to the new year than to get fresh air, said
Sarah Birkeland, interim director of county
parks. In connecting with nature, youre
connecting with something larger than yourself. Its a nice way to bring things in perspective.
Birkeland said local volunteers at
Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, just
west of Redwood City, have been leading
efforts to arrange guided walks in county
parks.
A lot of people do seem to come out on
New Years Day, said Bill Korbholz, president of the Friends of Edgewood, a volunteer
organization working to preserve the
Emerald Lake Hills park.
In years past, the docent leading the New
Years Day hike at Edgewood has polled the
group to determine whether to lead a hike that
is more focused on getting a rigorous workout, or one that is more interpretive and
describes what hikers see along the trail.
Korbholz said this year the docent leading
the 4- to 5-mile hike will address the physical and mental benefits of spending time in
nature.
Being in nature has been proven scientifically ... to reduce feelings of depression, he
said.
For county Ranger Stephen Kraemer,
Edgewood Parks narrow, forested trails and
open views of the entire Bay Area allow visitors to forget their proximity to urban areas.
He noted the countys natural diversity offers
new experiences for hikers hoping to carry
their New Years resolutions through the rest
of the year.
All of these parks are really diverse, and
have independent personality, he said.
Were very fortunate in San Mateo County,
we have such an array of parks.
Guided elephant seal tours at Ao Nuev o
State Park run 8:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. New
Years Day. The First Day Hik es at Burleigh
Murray Ranch and Pescadero marsh both
begin 10 a.m. Visit www.park s.ca.gov for

NEWS
Continued from page 1
thread connecting much of the news was a
decisive torching of moderation, no matter
how uncertain the consequences.
Youre not laughing now, are you? Nigel
Farage, a leader of the Brexit campaign, told
the European Parliament after voters in Great
Britain spurned membership in the continental union. What the little people did ... was
they rejected the multinationals, they rejected the merchant banks, they rejected big politics and they said, Actually, we want our
country back.
Farage was speaking only about the United
Kingdom. But his observation that many
people well beyond Britain shared that disdain for working within the system was
borne out repeatedly in the years biggest
headlines.
In a U.S. presidential campaign fueled by
anger and insults, in Syrias brutal war and
Venezuelas massive protests, in fights over
gay rights and migration, opposing sides
rejected not just compromise but also the
politics of trying to forge it.
That was clear from the years first days,
when armed activists took over a national
wildlife refuge in Oregons high desert,
opposing the federal governments control
of public lands.
It needs to be very clear that these buildings will never, ever return to the federal government, LaVoy Finicum, an Arizona rancher among the activists, told reporters. Weeks
later, federal agents stopped vehicles outside
the refuge, arresting eight of the activists and
fatally shooting Finicum when he reached
into a jacket that held a loaded gun.
Even in the rare cases when compromise
prevailed, it was viewed with suspicion.
When a deal took effect in January limiting
Irans nuclear program in exchange for relief
on sanctions, it marked the culmination of
prolonged negotiation by President Barack
Obamas administration. But the pact was
repeatedly attacked by critics in both countries, including Donald Trump, saying it gave
the other side too much.
The wisest plan of crazy Trump is tearing
up the nuclear deal, a leading Iranian hardliner, Hossein Shariatmadari, told his countrys news agency.
In mid-February, U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia died in his sleep, leaving a vacuum on a court where he had long
been the leading conservative voice. Barely
an hour after Scalias death was confirmed,
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
staked out an uncompromising position on
what lay ahead.
The American people should have a voice
in the selection of their next Supreme Court
justice, McConnell said, disregarding the
fact that U.S. voters had twice elected Obama.
Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled
until we have a new president.
North Carolina lawmakers prompted
protests and counterprotests when they
rushed through House Bill 2, voiding local
gay-rights ordinances and limiting bathroom
access for transgender people. Companies,
the NBA and others followed through on
threats to move jobs, games and performances out of the state, amplifying the division.
Tensions over U.S. policing bled into a
third year. In July, a sniper killed five Dallas
police officers during a protest over shootings of black men by police in Louisiana and
Minnesota. A South Carolina jury failed to
reach a verdict in the trial of a white officer
caught on video fatally shooting a black man
fleeing a traffic stop.
Division, though, was hardly limited to the
U.S.
In Venezuela, triple-digit inflation and
shortages of food and medicine fueled 6,000
protests throughout the year that brought
millions into the streets. But the government of President Nicolas Maduro, blamed by
many voters for the chaos, blocked a recall
campaign.
If youre going to shoot me because Im
hungry, shoot me! a young man shouted at a
soldier during one protest in Caracas.
In Colombia, voters narrowly rejected a
deal between the government and a guerrilla
group to end a 52-year civil war. Even when
lawmakers approved a renegotiated deal, the
peace remained fragile.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

In Brazil, senators impeached President
Dilma Rousseff for manipulating budget figures, though many of the lawmakers were,
themselves, tarred by accusations of corruption. South Korean President Park Geun-hye
was stripped of power in December amid allegations she let a close friend use the government for financial gain.
Meanwhile, Syrias war entered its sixth
year. But despite pressure by the U.S. and its
allies, Russia and the government of
President Bashar Assad unleashed an assault
on Aleppo to wipe out rebels, driving up the
toll in a conflict that has already claimed as
many as 500,000 lives.
This is a targeted strategy to terrorize
civilians and to kill anybody and everybody
who is in the way of their military objectives, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
said, accusing Syria and Russia of war crimes.
As long as war crimes are at question, a
Russian government spokeswoman said,
the Americans should start with Iraq.
In Yemen, cease-fires broke down, extending a nearly two-year civil war. But with
Syria capturing most international attention,
a famine resulting from the turmoil was mostly overlooked.
As the fighting continued, terrorist strikes
spread fear well beyond the Middle East.
A bombing at a Brussels airport in March
and another attack in June at Istanbuls airport by gunmen with explosives killed a
total of nearly 80 people. More than 70 died
when a bomb went off in a park in Pakistan,
with a faction of the Pakistani Taliban claiming responsibility.
In July, a terrorist drove a truck into a
Bastille Day crowd in Nice, France, killing
86 and injuring more than 400 others. The
Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
In June, security guard Omar Mateen
opened fire inside a gay nightclub in
Orlando, Florida, in the deadliest mass shooting ever in the U.S. In a call to police during
the attack, which killed 49, Mateen a U.S.
citizen born to parents who emigrated from
Afghanistan three decades earlier said he
was acting on behalf of the Islamic State
group.
A day later, Trump pointed to the attack in a
renewed call to ban Muslim immigrants to
the U.S. while suggesting that American
Muslims were turning a blind eye to terrorists
in their midst.
We cannot continue to allow thousands
upon thousands of people to pour into our
country, many of whom have the same
thought process as this savage killer, Trump
said.
Still, there were moments when the obstinacy that characterized so much of the news
was set aside.
When boxing great Muhammad Ali died in
June, a figure whose outspokenness on race,
religion and other issues once made him
deeply polarizing was eulogized as an inspiration.
In March, Obama became the first U.S.
president to visit Cuba since 1928, affirming
a contentious move to resume ties after more
than a half century of hostility. But the death
of Cubas Fidel Castro in November renewed
criticism of the U.S. opening, with Trump
threatening to terminate the deal.
The hard line typified the outspokenness
that attracted many voters. Critics lambasted
the U.S. presidential campaign for feeding
prejudice against minorities and denigrating
women, warning that Trump could not win.
But each time Democratic nominee Hillary
Clinton appeared to open a gap between herself and the billionaire developer, a scandal
over her use of a personal email server while
serving as secretary of state returned to the
headlines.
When FBI Director James Comey reignited
the issue in late October by announcing his
agency had found new emails, Clintons popularity fell even as early voting began.
Trump clinched victory by winning states
representing an Electoral College majority,
though Clinton captured more than 2.8 million more votes nationwide.
Now its time for America to bind the
wounds of division, Trump told supporters
in his first speech as president-elect.
The elections shocking outcome was
arguably the years biggest news story. But
Trumps speech made headlines in no small
part for sounding a note of moderation that
was jarringly out of place in a year of discord.

Heres to 2017
By Karan Nevatia

when she started, smoking was simply stylish, not bad for you.
Most obviously and urgently, Dorothea
loves her son, and is trying to figure out
how to raise him as a good man in a
changing world.
Hers is not a traditional parenting style.
When Jamie is called to the principals
office for missing school, Dorothea
earnestly wonders why he shouldnt be able
to skip school if he wants. Shes told that
he needs a good excuse. And so, Mom starts
sending notes like: Jamie was doing volunteer work for the Sandinistas.
Yet despite her unconventional approach,
Dorothea faces struggles familiar to all parents, such as a teens blind feelings of
invulnerability. One day, Jamie joins
friends in a game that involves briefly
falling unconscious. Except, Jamie doesnt
wake up. He ends up in the emergency room.
Dorotheas raw anguish as she asks her son

oing into 2016, I thought I was

able to see what my life would
look like in one year. I had expectations about my personal life, about politics, about my academics. Some of those
expectations were met I knew I would be
spending much of my time working on college applications, eagerly awaiting J.K.
Rowlings additions to the Harry Potter
world with Cursed Child and Fantastic
Beasts, and I vaguely expected that I
might be writing a Student News column
for the Daily Journal as
the year came to a close.
Of course, there were
many things that were
different from my expectations. I didnt expect
the presidential election
to turn out the way it did.
I didnt expect a sadly
high number of celebrities to die this year, from David Bowie in
early January to Carrie Fisher in late
December. I didnt expect to learn and experience the astounding amount that I did this
year, whether from my high school teachers or from the various political events that
came to pass.
Maybe because so much was unexpected
this year, or maybe just because of the
stage Im at in my life, but what 2017
holds is a lot less clear. One year from now,
I dont know where Ill be for college, I
dont know what our political state of
affairs will look like the only thing I do
know is that my life will be different from
what its like right now.
Not knowing much about my future is a
scary thought. For almost all of my life,
Ive had a mundane routine going to
school, going home, participating in various after school activities. Next year,
thatll all change. My school will be in a
completely different place, with completely different people and perhaps a completely different climate. Ill be on my own, no
longer always a call away from my parents
help.
But at the same time, I want to embrace
the spontaneity. I want to explore a world
beyond the Bay Area that I know and love,
whether its braving the cold during East
Coast winters or adventuring through
Hollywood at a Los Angeles school.
I want to meet a politically and socially

20th Century Women isa thoughtful and detailed evocation of an era and especially of one complicated character, with little story to speak of.

Bening shines as 70s mom,

whos trying to figure it out
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Way too many films out there are heavy

on plot and exposition, light on atmosphere and character development. Its safe
to say 20th Century Women isnt one of
them.
Indeed, this new film from Mike Mills, a
loving nod to the directors own 1970s
California youth, is precisely the opposite:
a thoughtful and detailed evocation of an era
and especially of one complicated character,
with little story to speak of.
Such atmospheric films, however expertly done, can either charm you or frustrate
you to pieces. Luckily, even if its the latter,
Annette Bening is there to pick those
pieces up.
There should be no doubt by now that
Bening, at 58 a four-time Oscar nominee, is
one of our finest actresses. Her recent turn in
husband Warren Beattys Rules Dont

Apply was brief, yet delightful. That was a

mere cameo compared to her passionate and
meticulous work in 20th Century Women,
a movie that truly revolves around her.
If Mills 2010 Beginners, which won
Christopher Plummer an Oscar, was about
his father, 20th Century Women also
semi-autobiographical feels like a companion piece about his mother. Bening is
Dorothea Fields, a 55-year-old single mom
of a 15-year-old boy, Jamie (Lucas Jade
Zumann, in a sensitive and unmannered performance). The time is 1979, the place
Santa Barbara. The world is brimming with
change, both cultural and political.
Like the time in which she lives,
Dorothea is hard to figure out a mess of
appealing contradictions. She is free yet
guarded, proud yet insecure, forceful yet tentative, cynical yet naive. A few constants:
She pays strict daily attention to the stock
tables. She wears Birkenstocks. She
chainsmokes Salems her excuse is that

With the loss of its celebrities, Gen X ponders mortality

By Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Princess Leia was our first girl movie

heroine, and we made our moms braid
brunette yarn so wed have earmuff buns for
Halloween. Carol Brady of The Brady
Bunch was the ideal mother we probably
didnt have, because our moms had to work
and left us latchkey kids home alone, with
TV and processed food our only companions.
Carrie Fisher and Florence Henderson
and other icons of Generation Xs youth
are now gone, stolen by the cruel thief that
is 2016. The year has left the generation

born between the mid-1960s and the early

1980s wallowing in memories and contemplating its own mortality.
Its a very melancholy time, sighed
Shelly Ransom, a 47-year-old speech-language pathologist in Darien, Connecticut.
This is really bringing back a lot of teen
angsty feelings. These people are supposed
to still be the voices of my generation. Its
sad to see these artists not there to be our
voice.
Or, as weary, 51-year-old Lawrence
Feeney, a filmmaker from New Port Richey,
Florida, put it: You lose George Michael
and Carrie Fisher in a three-day span, you
feel like youve gotten a couple of daggers

thrown at you.
Throughout the year, office conversations, dinner party discussions and social
media have exploded with incredulity, sadness and fear, as one 80s celebrity after
another died, starting in January with David
Bowie.
The feelings have been particularly acute
for Gen X, whose members came of age
when many of these cultural figures were
popular.
We adored Bowie in the movie
Labyrinth and danced to Modern Love
at prom. We remember reading the words
Purple Rain on the theater marquee and
wondered why that little guy in high heels

was so sexy. We made out fervently in cars

in high school as George Michael crooned
on the FM dial (Remember radio? It came
decades before Spotify, and you couldnt
pick your music).
We were the generation that was going to
change the world. When I was a young man,
I watched people my age stand in front of
tanks in Tiananmen Square and tear down
the Berlin Wall. Now I find myself complaining about arthritis in my hands and
taking care of my aging parents, lamented
Rob Withrow, a 43-year-old landscape business owner in Palm Bay, Florida.

Did Debbie Reynolds die of broken-heart syndrome?

By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Dying of a broken

heart is real.
When Debbie Reynolds passed away this
week, her son said the stress of his sister
Carrie Fishers death the day before was too
much for his mother to take.
The emotional distress of losing a loved
one can trigger broken-heart syndrome, a
recognized medical condition that disproportionately affects women and can be
fatal.
A broken heart really is an event where
the heart ceases to function normally and is
prone to heart rhythm abnormalities, said

the million-dollar question to which no teen
has an answer What were you thinking? is agonizing to behold.
With no partner to co-parent Jamie (Dads
out of the picture), Dorothea concludes it
will take a village. She turns to two other
women in Jamies orbit.
First is Abbie (Greta Gerwig, absorbing to
watch as ever), a 24-year-old punk artist
renting a room in Dorotheas rambling
house. Abbies hair is dyed a brilliant shade
of fuschia, a la David Bowie. She, too, is a
free spirit, but her life also has a darker,

Dr. Mark Creager, director of the DartmouthHitchcock Heart and

Vascular Center in New
Hampshire and past president of the American
Heart Association. That
term is used to explain a
very real phenomenon
that does occur in
Debbie
patients who have been
Reynolds
exposed to sudden emotional stress or extremely devastating circumstances.
Known medically as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or takotsubo syndrome, it
can strike anyone, even those in good
health with no previous heart problems.

Reynolds, who suffered two strokes in

2015 but recovered, was taken by ambulance to a hospital the day after Fisher died.
She said, I want to be with Carrie,
Reynolds son, Todd Fisher, told the
Associated Press. And then she was
gone.
No cause of death has been disclosed for
either woman.
Broken-heart syndrome is when a surge
of stress hormones, such as adrenaline and
cortisol, cause arteries to seize, limiting
blood flow to the heart. The experience
and diagnosis is often confused with
heart attack, Creager said.
Both conditions look the same on an
electrocardiogram, said cardiologist Dr.
Holly Andersen, director of education for

the heart institute at New York Presbyterian

Hospital and scientific adviser for the
Womens Heart Alliance. But where heart
attacks are caused by blocked arteries, there
are no such blockages in broken hearts.
The condition can be treated, and even
heal untreated, she said, but it can also
cause heart arrhythmias and sudden death.
Japanese researchers were the first to
describe broken-heart syndrome in 1990.
They named it takotsubo, which means
octopus pot, for the way the malfunctioning heart appears in imaging studies.
Andersen has not treated Reynolds, but
she suspects the actress succumbed to a
cardiovascular event, noting Reynolds
history of stroke and the prevalence of
heart disease among women.

more poignant side: shes a survivor of cervical cancer, and has been told she wont be
able to have children.
Then theres Julie (Elle Fanning), only
two years older than Jamie. This beautiful
blonde creature is Jamies best friend, but
also his tormentor: She sneaks into the
house every night to sleep in his bed, but
refuses to become sexually involved with
him. This is, needless to say, quite frustrating for an adolescent boy.
Rounding out this unusual group is
William (Billy Crudup), a handyman who is
(slowly) renovating Dorotheas ramshackle
abode. The only adult male character of substance, William serves a different purpose
for each female in the film.
He has a terrific seduction scene with
Abbie painfully awkward yet still

romantic. She compliments how his hair

smells; he replies that he makes his own
shampoo. But Crudups most entertaining
moment is with Bening, when William tries
to help Dorothea figure out the new music
the kids are listening to these days, in a
sort of Black Flag versus Talking Heads
danceoff.
Somewhere in the middle of this absorbing and unabashedly meandering film, one
comes to better understand the title. The
three women, all born in different eras of the
20th century, each have something to teach
young Jamie.
And Jamie is coming of age at a time when
things are changing for women, too. Abbie
gives Jamie some feminist texts to read,
from which he learns, among other things,
about the nature of the female orgasm. In

one of the funnier episodes, he tries to educate a fellow teenage boy, with predictably
disastrous results.
20th Century Women is narrated by its
young protagonist and as such, feels like a
coming-of-age story. But whose? The story
really feels like Dorotheas. Certainly hers
is the most fully realized character and the
most interesting by a mile even if at the
end, were not quite sure what shes learned,
what its all added up to.
But no matter: that often bemused look on
Benings face seems to be telling us that its
really the journey that counts.
20th Century Women, an A24 release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for sexual material, language,
some nudity and brief drug use. Running
time: 118 minutes. Three stars out of four.

the reality of dying is much clearer to see.

Of course, this happens to every generation: Our idols die off, and we suddenly feel
our youth slipping away.
But Lou Manza, a professor of psychology at Lebanon Valley College in Annville,
Pennsylvania, said baby boomers and older
generations werent as invested in or con-

nected to their celebrities. Gen X had MTV,

which put pop stars like Prince and Bowie
into our homes in heavy rotation.
That, combined with the immediacy and
intimacy of 21st-century social media we
knew when platinum-haired punk rocker
Billy Idol turned 61 because Facebook
informed us, for instance amplifies the
sadness.
Our parents in the 70s would hear about
a celebrity death on the nightly news, or the
next day in the newspaper, Manza said.
Now, theres more and more of an immediacy with every successive generation.
Sarah McBride Wagner, a 37-year-old
writer in Weirton, West Virginia, said social
media has created a place for collective
mourning.

For some, the death of beloved childhood
figures reminds us of the passing of people
closer to us and of the march of time, which
seems more like a fast jog.
Were at the age now when we really start
to see ourselves in our parents. My son just
turned 10, and it occurred to me as he hung
out with my parents that its really not
going to be too many more years before my
husband and I are my parents, and he is us,
said Amanda Forman, a 38-year-old mother
of three and a writer from Flourtown,
Pennsylvania.
The celebrity deaths of people weve
admired exacerbate those feelings. I think
in the case of those who passed who are
slightly older, it makes us feel like we are
that much closer, that our generation is
next. And it makes us feel like our childhood
is that much further behind us.

Whats the story with Ben Affleck? Live by Night, he hopes

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK When Ben Afflecks

Argo won best picture four years ago, it
was an unquestionable high point in a career
that has seesawed with ups and downs. As
he, clutching the Oscar, spoke emotionally
of getting back up after being knocked
down, Affleck seemed to be leaving the turbulence behind.
But the roller coaster soon enough started
rolling again. Though many expected him
to continue on the path of prestige filmmaker, he, with just a touch of fanfare, took on
the high-pressure role of Batman, a bid to
secure his place on the A-list and wow his
four-year-old son. And after splitting with
his wife, Jennifer Garner, Affleck again
found himself a tabloid regular.
This business tends to exaggerate highs
and lows, Affleck said in an interview over
coffee at a Manhattan restaurant overlooking Central Park. Ive had legitimate lows,
movies I didnt like, and Im very proud of
the movies I directed and so on. But you
become a cast member in a soap opera that
youre not writing. You get the script every
day and you find out what your role is that
day.
Now, Affleck is hoping to flip the script
again. Hes releasing his directorial followup to Argo, an adaption of Dennis
Lehanes crime novel Live By Night. Its
the story of a Prohibition era gangster
(Affleck) who decamps from Boston to
Tampas Ybor City to create a rum-running
empire. Its his fourth film as a director and
second adaptation of Lehane, whose Gone
Baby Gone was his directorial debut in
2007.
When I had the success of Argo, I kind
of got to leverage that, said Affleck, who

Reviews for Live By Night havent been great, and it wont reach the Oscar heights of Argo.
was sent the book by Leonardo DiCaprio.
It was sort of pick what you want to do and
this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to make
a classic Warners picture.
Its easily Afflecks most ambitious film
yet, one he grants he couldnt have tackled
earlier. It has lavish period sets and costumes, a lengthy car chase and an epic sweep
compelled by a clash of American ideals that
resonates particularly post-election. He just
hopes his side job in Warner Bros. DC
Comics universe doesnt overshadow it.
Theyre saying you have to have x, y and
z to make money in the movie business,
Affleck said. Youve got to have somebody
wearing a cape, for example. While I have
nothing against movies with people with
capes on -- Im a big fan of capes -- I dont
think we should be limited to that genre.
Affleck and his family were preparing to
soon head to Montana to celebrate

Christmas with his brother, Casey, and his

family. Its been an especially busy year for
both. Casey is enjoying the most acclaim of
his career for Manchester by the Sea,
while Ben has run up more than $1.7 billion
in box office, starring in Batman v
Superman: Dawn of Justice, making a
cameo in Suicide Squad and top-lining the
bean-counter thriller The Accountant.
But concern that Afflecks caped duties
might overshadow Live By Night was
especially acute on a recent December afternoon. He had just conducted a wide-ranging
Times Talk about his career, but the headline-grabbing takeaway was that he said
wouldnt direct the planned stand-alone
Batman film until the script was good
enough.
That generated 30 stories about Ben
Afflecks taking his time with Batman. Of
course I am! Affleck said incredulously.

You take your time with any movie. Its no

different than anything else but because its
Batman and it has that level of attention on
the Internet. What could be less newsworthy
than a person saying they want to have a
good script for their movie? Were making
the movie. Were going ahead with it. Were
just working on the script to make it good.
Its like the most famous unmade movie in
history.
We also want good actors. We want good
stages, he said. It boggles the mind.
After the critical lashing of Batman v
Superman and Suicide Squad, Affleck
would have good reason to emphasize the
script stage of his Batman film, which he
calls an exhilarating challenge, like
jumping out of an airplane. He has written
or co-written all his films except Argo,
and, of course, first won an Oscar for penning Good Will Hunting with Matt
Damon.
Lehane, the celebrated crime noir novelist, said Affleck is orderly, no-muss, nofuss in talking over the screenplays of
Gone Girl and Live by Night even if
there were understandable delays.
I think he thought, Im just going to go
direct this (after Argo) and then he got the
offer to do Gone Girl, Lehane said. And
then he was like, OK, now Im ready to
direct this. And then he got the offer to do
Batman. As he said to me at the time, in the
grandest understatement, A guys got to
eat.
The reviews for Live By Night havent
been great, and it wont reach the Oscar
heights of Argo. But after the films first,
more traditional crime-thriller chapter, it
becomes a timely collision between diverging visions of America: multiculturalism
squares off with the KKK and religious
zealotry.

North Woods Law show heads

from Maine to New Hampshire
By Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. The television show North Woods

Law is moving slightly south.
After four years following the Maine Warden Service, the
reality TV shows next season will feature conservation
officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game
Department. It will begin airing early next year on the
Animal Planet cable channel, a spokesman said Thursday.
A sneak peek video posted online by Animal Planet this
week includes scenic views of forests, mountains and the
seacoast along with wildlife ranging from raccoons to rattlesnakes.
People are going to see animals they had no idea existed
here, said Col. Kevin Jordan, the departments law
enforcement chief.
He said the departments goal was recognition of the officers complex duties, which include wildlife management,
search and rescues and law enforcement.
I didnt want to make another reality police show, you
know, a cop show, he said. We wanted to create a show
that puts forth a positive view of the impact they have on
natural resources, tourism and the states economy. From
looking at the episodes we have, it does do that.
The preview, however, does highlight the law enforcement angle.
This is like the Wild West of New Hampshire, one officer says. Another says, Were going to tighten things up
right now, before closing handcuffs around a mans wrist.
Jordan said he was a bit concerned that the preview video
was over the top but understands its purpose.
People just need to keep in mind that the sneak peek was
created to sell a product, and doesnt necessarily reflect as
accurately as I would have hoped what the actual show will
reflect, he said. On occasion, the officers are going to
make a case. But with some of these shows, doors are getting kicked and handcuffs going on everybody in view.
Thats not what we wanted and Im really comfortable that
we didnt get that.
The Maine version of North Woods Law stirred controversy after a Portland Press Herald report suggested the
shows television cameras influenced the warden services
response to a poaching sting.
Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, said he played a role in
ending the show, saying he didnt think it gave the state a
good image.
A spokesman for the Warden Service said he viewed the
agencys partnership with the shows producers as a public
relations took to recruit wardens, and that once that goal
was achieved, it decided to end the relationship.

translated to $6 million for Bay Area
crabbers, Anderson said.
A quarter means a lot, Anderson
said, adding rolling over for the buyers lowball price could snowball into
bigger cuts if they didnt take a stand.
As soon as someones fishing for
$2.75, most buyers down here cant
afford to pay more while theres
cheaper crab in the market place,
Anderson said. When someone starts
offering to pay less for crab, that goes
very quickly through the fleet.
Plus, the prime Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years markets
have pretty much already come and
gone. After voting Friday to join the
strike, the last crabbers out of Pillar
Point Harbor were expected to land
their harvests at Johnson Pier and wait
out the strike. For those still looking
to put some fresh crustaceans on the
dinner table, locals will be selling off
their boats directly to customers this
weekend, Anderson said.
The strike began Wednesday after the
large wholesale buyer Pacific Choice
Seafood reportedly offered just $2.75 a
pound. This proved problematic as
others further south had already begun
fishing after agreeing on $3 a pound.
Californias District 10, which
includes the Bay Area fishery, typically opens about two weeks ahead of
other areas. But as other parts of the
coast tested positive for higher levels

Its being able to offer something
thats really delicious thats been made
in an expensive way at a low price, he
said, adding $23.99 is our least expensive Champagne. If thats in their budget, thats the way they want to go.
Oliver Kohns, wine department manager at Draegers Market in San Mateo,
has also observed more specific requests
for certain types of sparkling wine.
One thing weve seen this year is
there is more and more interest in true
Champagne, he said.
Champagne is specifically the drink
produced in the region of France that
shares its namesake. Other sparkling
wines, such as cuve or prosecco, come
from other regions of the globe and are
commonly confused with Champagne.
Kohns has noticed a growing awareness of the distinction between
Champagne and other sparkling wines
among his customers. Kohns says the

shellfish, the fisheries opened in

slower waves this year.
Fishermen in northern Oregon were
slated to start their season Sunday, but
have since called it off due to the
strike, according to the Associated
Press.
The strike reportedly prompted by
the large wholesale buyer has upset
more than just the fishermen. Smaller
buyers, some of whom were happy to
honor the $3 price, are also out of luck
with the industry grinding to a halt.
Kevin Zheng, a wholesale buyer for
American Seafood Exchange, purchases crab from Bay Area fishermen thats
then distributed to grocers and restaurants.
No fishermen and no buyers are
happy right now. Its a really bad decision to drop the price before the new
year, Zheng said. Theres not enough
crab right now. A live buyer would
not have enough crab to support the
New Years market. Its going to be
bad. Really bad.
Porter McHenry, president of the
Half Moon Bay fishermens association, agreed many of the local or
smaller buyers had been playing fair.
Our biggest issue is with some of
the bigger out-of-state buyers that buy
high volumes of crab on the West
Coast and theyre the ones that dont
want to pay the $3 price, McHenry
said.
He hasnt seen crab in more than a
week as hed taken a break over
Christmas and was fishing out of
Bodega Bay which had been the
southern most tip of the strike line
before Friday when the boycott first
began. But having landed a decent

amount for the prime holiday markets

and bad weather expected for this New
Years weekend anyway, McHenry said
he wasnt sure the strike would have
much of an impact on locals.
Still, weve got to try to stick
together as an industry to help out,
McHenry said. We know weve got a
really nice product and we want to get
fair value.
While calling off the strike appears
to now require a multi-state agreement,
McHenry and Anderson were hopeful it
would resolve next week.
But between the strike, a completely
dismal season last year due to state
wildlife officials closing the fishery
during the holiday markets due to the
neurotoxin domoic acid, and now some
harsh weather, the crabbing business
has been rocky.
Last nearly all of Californias crab
fishery was closed at the same time due
to elevated levels of the algae-related
toxin, This year however, Anderson
and McHenry said the state made a
problematic decision to open up
smaller pockets at various times this
season prompting boats to flood the
areas.
We havent had that great of a season this year. With the little sliver
openings they did, a lot of the areas
they opened got mopped up real
quick, Anderson said, adding theyll
sell off the boat to customers this
weekend at prices comparable to local
grocers. Thats been really helpful
and [were] thankful we had the holidays.

increase in popularity of growers

Champagnes, what he calls smaller
production labels, has even educated
some customers. Many learn specific
details of the village where the grapes
were grown and about the particular
growing process for each type of
Champagne.
[Its] more of an artisanal product,
doesnt come with the big marketing
hype, he said. For the true
Champagne lovers, they have true personality.
Kohns customers have been spending more to broaden their horizons, and
possibly impress guests as they host
celebrations at home. He has helped
several customers looking to pair their
wine selections with seasonal favorites
like lobster and crab.
From the looks of the baskets, it
looks like there are a lot of celebrations
happening at home, he said.
Joe Barwin has been working with
party hosts who are looking to spice up
their sparkling beverage options this
year. As co-owner of Bitters + Bottles, a
cocktail supply store in South San
Francisco, he has helped several home
mixologists find the perfect liquor to

bring life to a Champagne cocktail.

A lot of our customers are home bar
enthusiasts, said Barwin. There are a
lot of people planning on hosting, so
were looking for easy and lighter
[alcohol by volume] options for
folks.
Liquors with fresh, tangy flavors,
such as elderflower or spiced pear liquor,
are the items Barwin finds most popular
with his cocktail-stirring customers.
For those looking for an easy way to
optimize their Champagne experience
this New Years Eve, Westby recommends putting the bottle of bubbly in a
bucket with ice and water for a few minutes prior to opening it.
You are 15 minutes away from enjoying it at the perfect temperature, he
said. Its important for it to be cold
when you open it. Its not safe to open a
warm bottle.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Some in Mosul wary of return of Iraqs government

By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSUL, Iraq The 19-year-old resident

of Mosul pulled up his shirt and showed a
festering wound on his back. It came, he
said, from Iraqi troops who detained him
for three days and beat him, trying to get
him to confess to belong to the Islamic
State group.
His story and similar stories by others
only deepen worries among many of
Mosuls mainly Sunni residents over what
happens when the extremist group is
defeated and Baghdads Shiite-led government resumes control.
Almost all those fleeing the city say
they are relieved to see the end of the Sunni
extremists grip. But they also have bad
memories of Baghdads rule in the past.
Mosuls Sunnis long complained that
the Shiite-dominated security forces treated them with suspicion and targeted them
in indiscriminate crackdowns. They say
the government intentionally neglect
them, focusing on Shiite areas in the
south, leaving Iraqs second largest city
undeveloped and economically stagnant.
Mohammed Ayad said he was detained by
troops earlier this month when he sneaked
from his home neighborhood, which is
under IS control, across the Tigris River
into a district recaptured by the military.
He intended to buy cigarettes to sell back
in his neighborhood, where IS bans smoking.
They arrested me while sleeping at
friends house on the east side, he said.
They suspected me when I showed them
my ID that says I live on the other side,
said Ayad.
His interrogators beat him, asking him
repeatedly when he joined IS. After they
released him, he went to a camp of displaced people south of Mosul.
Several other Mosul residents at the

State fighters north of Mosul, Iraq.
camp said Federal Police, a Shiite-dominated force, barred them from returning to
their homes in recaptured areas, now that
they are relatively safe. A group of Sunnis
who fled the recently freed town of Tal
Abta, west of Mosul, said they too were
barred by Shiite militias from returning.
I feel like a third class citizen, like an
Indian who will now have to live in a reservation, said one bearded Mosul resident
who declined to give his name for fear of
reprisals. It is like they jailed us here, he
said of the camp.
There have been no reports of major or
systematic abuse of Mosul residents by the
military or security forces, which have
been fighting since October to recapture
the city. Thats a contrast to other former
IS-held areas, where Shiite fighters are

accused of pushing out or otherwise abusing Sunnis. The military denies torturing
suspects and insists no one is denied permission to return to their homes.
But there is a recognition that Baghdad
needs to reach out to Sunnis.
I really cannot blame them for being
apprehensive about the return of government rule, said a top military commander
in Mosul, who agreed to discuss the subject
in return for anonymity.
It is their right to feel that way. Before
Daesh, there was too much corruption, and
the security forces did nothing to help people, he said, using an Arabic acronym for
IS.
Shiite Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi
has been sending reconciliatory messages
to Iraqs minority Sunnis, speaking of a

country reunited by the fight against IS.

Societal reconciliation is the appropriate
answer to Daesh, he said recently.
The military in Mosul has reached out to
residents with goodwill gestures, including distributing food and water and treating wounded or ailing residents in their
field hospitals. They have helped those
wishing to leave the city. Children flash
the V for victory signs to soldiers and
yell Mansoureen, or may you be victorious, as they drive by in their Humvees.
No matter how many times I say thank
you I can never give you your due, one
woman told a senior army general Thursday
as he toured her frontline Mosul neighborhood.
But there is also mutual suspicion and
apprehension. Faced with consistent IS
bombing and shootings in recaptured
areas, the military fears sympathizers and
sleeper cells among the population.
All a Daesh member has to do is take off
his clothes and shave his beard and he
becomes a regular citizen said the military commander in Mosul. Thats why we
cannot drop our guard.
The armys security measures with the
population dont help ease any ill-feeling.
Every day, hundreds of men, women,
children and elderly fleeing the city wait
for hours in the biting cold by a main road
outside Mosul while security officials run
their names through a database for any
possible IS links.
There are no chairs or benches and nothing to shelter them from rain and wind. A
shortage of buses means that most of those
cleared are loaded onto army trucks, where
they stand with nothing to hold on except
each other, to be taken to camps.
Conditions are tough for those who
remain in recaptured Mosul neighborhoods
as well. Piles of trash are everywhere and
green sewage water runs on the side of many
streets. Water and power are still out.

LONDON Europes leaders are not

expecting a smooth ride in 2017 following a
year marked by political upheaval, extremist
attacks, unchecked immigration, and a rising
military threat from Russia.
Britain is suing for divorce, the far-right is
on the march, some former Soviet satellites
seem disillusioned with the West even as
Russia seeks to regain its influence, and
America will soon inaugurate an untested,
seemingly Russia-friendly president who has
voiced doubts about the usefulness of the
NATO alliance. The uncertainty is thick
enough to breathe.
It all looks so different from the triumphant panorama presented more than two
decades ago when the European Union was
expanding. Formerly captive nations freed
from Soviet control seemed eager to embrace
liberal democracy, capitalism and substantial subsidies from their wealthier neighbors.
There was rosy talk of an ever-closer union,
the development of a single currency, and a
cooperative relationship with Russia. It hasnt turned out that way the EU, with its
touted ideals of shared democratic values and
free movement of people, has never seem so
frayed and vulnerable.
The risks for 2017 remain very high, said
Adam Thomson, director of the London-based
European Leadership Network research group.
We Europeans need to recognize that we face
a level of risk in the West-Russian confrontation that we have not seen since the 1960s. It
is partly because a lot of the security rules of
the road have been torn up or suspended, so
there are fewer rules and less predictability.
He said most Europeans do not perceive the
danger because they have been lulled by the
cordial East-West relations that prevailed for
years after the Soviet collapse in 1991.
Europeans have gotten used to 25 years of

peace dividend, and a stability they have

come to think of as normal but in fact might
be the abnormality in Europes long history
of conflict, Thomson said.
There is deep unease in the Baltics,
Scandinavia and elsewhere as Russia moves
more military forces to its border regions and
even places nuclear capable Iskander ballistic
missiles into the Russian enclave of
Kaliningrad, where they can threaten part of
Poland, Germany, and other countries.
Russian President Vladimir Putin seems
emboldened by the lukewarm international
response to his governments annexation of
the Crimea two years ago and his strong intervention in Syria this year and by the growing support he enjoys among far-right political leaders who are gaining ground in Europe.
He has already been making inroads, with a
pro-Russia candidate elected president in
Moldova and a candidate calling for a
European rapprochement with Russia winning in Bulgaria.
Electoral focal points in the coming year
are France, where voters may bring to power a
far-right National Front government that
wants to follow Britain out of the European
Union, and Germany and the Netherlands,
where far-right parties also stand to make
gains.
The increasing appeal of the far-right has
been fueled by public unhappiness with the
ongoing influx of migrants, mostly from the
Middle East and Africa. Events like the recent
extremist attack that killed 12 people at a
Christmas market in Berlin combined with
earlier assaults on civilians in Paris and
Brussels have made it more common for
Europeans to view the incoming human tide
as a potential threat.
The coming year will determine whether
Britains surprise decision in a June referendum to walk away from the many benefits of
EU membership in favor of establishing firm
border controls was an anomaly or a harbinger of things to come.
