Redwood City begins drafting
its inclusionary housing policy
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

How a policy requiring developers to include on-site

affordable housing in new residential projects could be
shaped to make as many below-market-rate units available
in Redwood City as possible, was a focus for city officials
Monday.
Councilmembers considered what percentage of units
developers should have to designate as affordable, how such
a policy might affect various stakeholders and its fit within
an existing set of measures aimed at encouraging affordable
housing. Ultimately, they voted 5-0 to initiate a process to

Belmont family adorns home with vintage-style Christmas decorations

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For most of the year people proba-

Belmont home without giving it a sec-
ond look. But with the holidays sink-
ing in, their family abode is nothing
short of completely decked out.
What started as an innocent appreci-
ation for antique glassware, eventually
developed into an admitted obsession
with vintage blow-mold Christmas
decorations, said Aimee Knowles. In
many ways it stems from fond memo-
ries of her childhood.
I actually collect vintage Pyrex and
from that it kind of grew into other
things. Going to antique places, thrift
shops trying to find pieces, then you
see these [blow molds.] So I started
grabbing them, they remind me a lot of
going to my grandmas, she said.
Theres a little bit of nostalgia with it.
But over the years, and particularly
since last Christmas, the collection
grew and grew as the Knowles have

tions.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A South San Francisco High School

she engaged in sexual misconduct with an
underage student, according to police.

to South San Francisco police. After
announcing Linares was arrested around
4:06 p.m. Monday, Dec. 18, authorities are
now asking anyone with further informa-
tion or other potential victims to come for-

State University, according to her LinkedIn
profile.
In a statement to the community,
Shawnterra Moore, superintendent of the
South San Francisco Unified School
District, sought to assure parents that
school officials are cooperating with the
investigation.
While we are still learning about the cir-
cumstances surrounding the allegations, we
are confident that no students are currently
in any danger. We believe this is an oppor-
tunity to discuss with your child the impor-
tance of maintaining open communication
with you as parents or another, trusted adult,

propriate or uncomfortable has happened at
or related to school.Student safety remains

Police would not release further informa-
tion about the nature of the alleged sexual
misconduct or where it may have occurred.
Linares was reportedly booked into coun-
ty jail on felony charges related to sexual
misconduct of a minor. However, shortly
after her arrest she was out of jail on
$100,000 bail, according to the Sheriffs
Office. Her first court date was scheduled
January 23. The District Attorneys Office

Tuesday and could not confirm what, if any,
charges might be formally filed.

San Francisco officer under
criminal probe kills himself
SAN FRANCISCO A man who killed himself after
being pulled over by police in the San Francisco Bay Area
was identified Tuesday as a police officer
who was the subject of a criminal inves-
tigation by multiple law enforcement
agencies, authorities said Tuesday.
Antonio Cacatian, 49, shot himself
Monday afternoon after San Francisco
police requested help arresting him.
Police in the nearby city of Richmond
had pulled him over in a shopping mall
parking lot and officers retreated to their
Antonio
Cacatian
cars when they heard a gunshot, Lt.
Felix Tan said.
Tan said the windows of Cacatians vehicle were tinted
and officers could not see inside. One used a gun that fires
bean bags to break a window and discovered Cacatians
body inside.
San Francisco police spokeswoman Giselle Linane
declined to provide more details about the criminal investi-
gation into Cacatian.
He was a 9-year veteran of San Franciscos police depart-
ment, she said.
Mother sues San Francisco
police for fatally shooting son
SAN FRANCISCO A Northern California mother has
filed a civil rights lawsuit alleging a San Francisco police
rookie wrongfully shot and killed her unarmed son as he
fled from a stolen van he was driving earlier this month.
Lawyers for the mother of 42-year-old Keita ONeil filed
the lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco.
Officer Christopher Samayoa was riding in the passenger
seat of a patrol car when he shot ONeil in the head on Dec.
1.
Samayoa had graduated from the citys police academy
four days before the shooting and was riding with a field
training officer.
The lawsuit alleges ONeil jumped from a slow-moving
van and was fleeing on foot when Samayoa needlessly fired
his gun.
San Francisco police did not immediately return phone
and email inquiries Tuesday.

GOPs tea party promises dashed in tax cut embrace
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The tea party
class of 2010 vowed to usher in a
new era for the Republican Party,
one where conservatives clamor-
ing for fiscal discipline would roll
back government spending to rein
in trillion-plus budget deficits.
Not anymore.
Republicans are returning to
their Ronald Reagan-era roots
tax cuts first, followed by vague
promises of cutting spending
down the road. Concerns about
growing budget deficits have been
shelved as Republicans control-
ling Washington focus instead on
delivering tax breaks along with
spending increases for the mili-
tary.
GOP leaders insist they havent
abandoned their desire to confront
trillion-dollar deficits. Looking
toward 2018, House Speaker Paul
Ryan has raised the prospect of
tackling runaway benefit pro-
grams with the spike in the
deficit caused by the tax overhaul
already being used to justify a
potential round of austerity next
year.
That would require political
courage thats rare in an election
year in which Republicans face the
prospect of daunting losses.
If history repeats, the spending
cuts wont be realized. Reagans
assault on the bureaucracy sput-
tered. Republicans in Congress
havent made a serious run at cut-
ting spending since a failed 2011
budget deal delivered automatic
cuts known as sequestration to
Washington. Those too have
unraveled.

Will tax plan turn cash-hoarding companies into spenders?
By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Big U.S. com-
panies have been piling up cash
for years, but have spent little of
it on buying equipment and rais-
ing wages and other things to
grow the economy.
Republicans say they know
how to fix this: Give companies
even more money by cutting
their taxes.
The $2.6 trillion in cash that
U. S. companies have stored
abroad is enough to send a check
for more than $7,000 to every
man, women and child in the
country. The tax plan overhaul
would add to that pile under the
theory that more money will get
companies to invest more, hire
more and increase pay for their
workers.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan speaks about the tax reform legislation.
Trumps tax cuts prove to be
durable remains to be seen.
Reagans 1981 tax cut was pared
back several times. Three of the
following four presidents
George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton
and Barack Obama signed tax
increases into law.
For now, the clear winners are
the individuals soon to pocket tax
cuts, along with corporations and
businesses who stand to reap a
windfall. The potential losers are
the people who rely on the social
safety net. But if Republicans fail,
again, in their promises to wrestle
the budget under control, the joke
The conservative Tax
Foundation estimates that the
entire overhaul could lead to 4.8
percent more spending by com-
panies on equipment and other
capital goods over a decade, and
an additional 1.5 percent boost
to wages.
Many experts think that is
wishful thinking.
There is more than enough
cash for investment, said Daniel
Alpert, managing partner at
investment bank Westwood
Capital. The tax bill is trying to
solve a problem that doesnt
exist.
Critics say the companies are
more likely to use their tax sav-
ings to buy back their own stock
and send dividend checks to
investors than to expand opera-
tions. While the stock market
has risen on the expectation of

thought it was voting for fiscal
conservatism.
The budget deficit, which regis-
tered $666 billion in the 2017
budget year, is set to soar even
higher, fueled by the tax cuts, a
disaster relief total set to breach
$130 billion, and long-promised,
record budget increases for the
military. Trillion-dollar deficits
loom before the end of Trumps
term, which has Republicans
already planning a pivot to long-
promised curbs on government
benefit programs such as food
stamps, Medicaid and Medicare.
higher earnings, the bond market
doesnt seem convinced that the
plan will accelerate economic
growth all that much.
Long-term interest rates have
remained low even as the Federal
Reserve has raised short-term
rates. Thats a signal that bond
investors arent forecasting that
big a pickup in inflation or eco-
nomic growth.
Under the bill coming up for a
vote in Congress, the corporate
tax rate would be slashed from 35
percent to 21 percent.
Companies hoarding cash over-
seas would also get a one-time
tax break if they send the money
back to the U.S. And they will be
able to immediately expense 100
percent of the cost of big ticket
purchases against taxes, saving
even more.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
It bears noting that Republicans
have promised spending cuts for
years. The triumphant 2010 tea
party class of GOP lawmakers who
seized control of the House ran on
fiscal discipline, and their
demands for austerity brought the
nation to the brink of default in
the summer of 2011.
But the 2011 budget deal that
delivered much-maligned automat-
ic cuts to annual spending for
agencies is unraveling, and con-
troversial, long-promised curbs to
the rapid growth of Medicare
havent ever left the planning
stages. Cuts in domestic programs
such as food stamps or housing
just wont make a mathematical
dent in the $20 trillion debt that
future generations will bear.
Next year, the arrival of
Alabama Sen.-elect Doug Jones
will cut the Senate GOP advantage
to just 51-49. The recent track
record of Congress making diffi-
cult budget choices in election
years doesnt inspire confidence.
And any potential savings from
so-called welfare reform are
dwarfed by the $1.5 trillion or
more deficit tag for the tax meas-
ure.
Once you cut taxes its real hard
to turn around and tell people you
have to cut spending for fiscal
responsibility, said Brian Riedl,
a senior fellow at the conservative
Manhattan Institute. Entitlement
reform was hard before the tax
cuts; itll be nearly impossible
after.

promising spending cuts later,
Republicans are attacking the

Why would a capitalist say, I

have to produce more, they may

Rescue personnel and equipment are seen at the scene where an Amtrak passenger train
derailed on a bridge over Interstate 5.
Amtrak didnt wait for system
that couldve prevented wreck
By Michael Sisak and Michael Balsamo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The rush to launch service on a new,
faster Amtrak route near Seattle came at a
deadly cost: none of the critical speed-con-
trol technology that could have prevented
a derailment was active before the train set
off on its maiden voyage.
Work to install the sophisticated, GPS-
based technology known as positive train
control isnt expected to be completed on
the newly opened 15-mile span where the
train derailed until next spring, according
to Sound Transit, the public agency that
owns the tracks.
The train was going 80 mph in a 30 mph
zone Monday when it raced off the rails as
they curved toward a bridge, hurtling train
cars onto a highway below, investigators
said. Three people were killed, and dozens
were injured. Federal investigators say
they are looking into whether the engineer
was distracted.
A positive train control system could
have detected the speeding and automati-
cally applied the brakes to stop the train,
said Najmedin Meshkati, a University of
Southern California professor who has
studied the technology for three decades.
It is another layer of safety, he said.
Amtrak and the Washington Department
of Transportation started publicizing the
switch to the new route in October. The

ports power supply and also its backup
agencies did not immediately respond to
questions about why they did so while the
speed-control technology was still
months away.
Railroads are under government orders to
install positive train control by the end of
2018 after the industry lobbied Congress
to extend earlier deadlines, citing com-
plexity and cost.
Union Pacific, the nations largest
freight carrier, said it was spending about
$2.9 billion on the technology. Industry
groups estimate railroads will spend a total
of about $10 billion to install and imple-
ment the systems.
Mondays wreck is just the latest exam-
ple of a deadly crash that experts say could
have been prevented if the technology
were in place to slow down the train when
engineers go too fast, get distracted or fall
ill.
U.S. investigators have listed a lack of
such a system as a contributing factor in at
least 25 crashes over the last 20 years,
including two in the last four years where a
train approached sharp curves at more than
double the speed limit.
A Metro-North train crashed in New York
City in 2013, killing four people, when an
engineer with sleep apnea dozed off. An
Amtrak train crashed in Philadelphia in
2015, killing eight people, when investi-
gators say the engineer was distracted by
radio traffic and lost his bearings.

Green Party candidate says

WASHINGTON The Senate intelligence

Jill Stein
that she was cooperating
with the probe and is providing documents
to the committee. She has captured the

Monday evening. Asked what the commit-
tee wanted to know about from Steins cam-
paign, Burr responded: collusion with the
Russians.
The request to Stein is more evidence that
the Senate panel will still have much work
to do in 2018. While the investigation has
largely focused on both the Russian inter-
ference and whether it was in any way con-
nected to President Donald Trumps cam-

leads.
The top Democrat on the panel, Virginia
Sen. Mark Warner, would not confirm the
investigation into Stein but noted on
Tuesday that she was at what he called the

Congress should act now on DACA
The Washington Post
Q
uick, name a major public
policy issue on which over-

Americans are united. Stumped?
(Granted, its a short list.) Heres one
answer: allowing dreamers
young undocumented immigrants
brought to this country as children
to remain in the United States if they
pass background checks, go to school
and fulll other basic requirements. In
a dozen polls this fall, including one
released last week, respondents who
favor permitting dreamers to stay in
the United States generally outnumber
those who would deport them by at
least 3-to-1, and often by 4-to-1 or 5-
to-1.
The support for dreamers is biparti-
san, and it shows up clearly and
almost identically in surveys conduct-
ed by Fox News and CNN, among
other media outlets, including The
Post. Despite that, an array of bills
that would protect dreamers from
deportation, either by granting them
a form of legal status or by putting
them on short- or long-term pathways
to citizenship, remain stalled in
Congress.
The legislative inertia is all the
more stupefying given the fact that a
clear majority of lawmakers in both
chambers on Capitol Hill would vote
today to grant dreamers legal status or

a route to citizenship. Earlier this
month, 34 Republicans in the House
of Representatives wrote to Speaker
Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) endorsing a
permanent legislative solution for
the nearly 700,000 immigrants
whose protection from deportation,
granted by the Obama administration
under the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program,
will lapse starting in March owing to
a decision by President Trump. Thats
more than enough GOP votes to
ensure passage of a House bill to
address the problem, given over-
whelming Democratic support for
such a move.
So far, though, Mr. Ryan seems to
prefer a strategy of delay, deferral and
dithering. He says he wants Congress
to address the issue next year, free
from the entanglements of other
pressing year-end legislative busi-
ness, including a spending package
whose defeat would mean a govern-
ment shutdown. But to many in
Congress, his prescription sounds
like a recipe for inaction and,
potentially, the deportation of thou-
sands of dreamers as their DACA per-
mits expire. In the Senate, that has
led some Democrats to consider
demanding a DACA x as the price for
their support on the spending bill
and avoiding a shutdown.
keep the district solvent. After a num-
ber of bond issues, the district still is
not able to get its nances in order.
Now it is asking for a parcel tax to
ostensibly accommodate the increase
in student enrollment. Its argument is
that the district is receiving less than
the state average reimbursement per
student. Pray, tell me why the district
is not aggressively pursuing the
inequities in funding throughout the
county? Using its own gures, the
increase that should be demanded
only amounts to $33 per student,
which would make it equivalent to the
funding now provided to San Carlos
or Pacica.
Why does Portola Valley School
District receive 223 percent more
funding per student? Why go the easy
route and hit up the citizens again for
a tax increase while not pursuing
equity with the bureaucracy in the
county and Sacramento? The district
management and board is not serving
the community. Another tax and
spend crowd. Drain the swamp.

OPINION
Why should it come to that? In the
House, a bill introduced by Rep.
Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) and with 34
Republican co-sponsors would set
dreamers on a 10-year pathway to citi-
zenship. In the Senate, a measure with
three Republican backers would set a
15-year timetable. Why not take a
vote now?
One answer is Mr. Trump, whose
ever-shifting stance on extending
protections for the dreamers has had a
self-neutering effect. In January, cit-
ing his big heart, he said they
shouldnt be very worried, and in
September he urged Congress to act to
protect them. More recently, under the
inuence of anti-immigration hard-
liners such as Attorney General Jeff
Sessions and White House aide
Stephen Miller, he has switched to
demanding an array of border-security
measures, including construction of a
wall on the frontier with Mexico, that
are deal-killers for Democrats.
The dreamers, it seems, should in
fact be very worried by what is hap-
pening in Washington. Under the
deadline set by Mr. Trump, nearly
1,000 dreamers will lose their protec-
tion from deportation each day begin-
ning March 5. At that point, a cohort
of youngsters raised in this country
will stop being bargaining chips;
they will become part of an unfolding
American tragedy. Congress should
act now to forestall that completely
avoidable, and inexcusable, outcome.
Increasing
voter turnout
Editor,
As a resident of San Mateo County,
I recognize voting is the cornerstone
of our democracy and the fundamental
right supporting all our civil liber-
ties. All efforts must be made to
expand access to the ballot box.
Regrettably, it is estimated in
California there are more than 5 mil-
lion eligible voters who are not reg-
istered. Same Day Registration (SDR)
at county ofces and the recently
passed California Voters Choice Act
(SB 450) serve to increase voter
access, service and efciency.
However, we can do more by expand-
ing SDR to all voting centers. In
states with SDR in all voting loca-
tions, voter turnout increases by 10
percent, meaning more Americans are
exercising their civic duty exactly
what we want to see in San Mateo
County.

For my contribution for the holidays, I am offering an
assortment of interesting and evocative quotations that
I have gleaned from my large collection of books. Some
of the books are: Dont Forget to Sing in the
Lifeboats by Katherine and Ross Petras, Too Soon Old
and Too Late Smart by Gordon Livingston, M.D.,
Brilliant Thoughts by Westside Publishing, The True
Patriot by Eric Liu and Nick Hanover, If Ignorance Is
Bliss by John Lloyd and
John Mitchinson and, of
course, my old standbys
Erich Fromm and Ashleigh
Brilliant.
Hope can neither be
confirmed or denied. Hope
is like a path in the coun-
tryside. Originally there
was no path yet, as
people are walking all the
time in the same spot, a
way appears. Lu Xun.
Our human propensity
to submit to inhuman rules
established by pathological authority cannot be under-
estimated. Elizabeth Mica, M.D.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleas-
ant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperi-
ty would not be so welcome. Ann and Dudley
Bradstreet.
True patriots believe that we should measure a citi-
zens worth by contribution to country and community,
not by wealth and power that those whom America
has benefited most should contribute in proportion to
their good fortune and that serving others would be
esteemed more highly than serving self. Liu and
Hanover.
In a democracy, every little wrong idea may grow up
to become national policy. Ashleigh Brilliant.
The most important condition for the development of
the love of life in the child is for him to be with people
who love life. Erich Fromm.
If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy
people. Victor Cousins.
It sometimes seems that our political system is
designed to select those whose narcissism and hunger
for power overwhelm their professed concern for the
welfare of their fellow citizens. Gordon Livingston.
Human beings are perhaps never more frightening
than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they
are right. Laurens van der Post.
No diet will remove all of the fat from your body
because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain you
might look good, but all you could do is run for public
office. George Bernard Shaw.
The things we do, the prejudices that we hold, and the
repetitive conflicts that affect our lives are seldom the
products of rational thought. In fact, we operate in the
world mostly on auto pilot, doing the same things today
that didnt work yesterday. Livingston.
True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we pro-
fess. Louis Nizer.
While the chaos and discord brew in the underclass,
the elites, ensconced in their narcissistic bubbles,
remain oblivious to the suffering of their fellow citizens
and the fate it portends for the nation. Mica.
I have found that, among its other benefits, giving
liberates the soul of the giver. Maya Angelou.
Love is all we have, the only way that each of us can
help the other. Euripides.
If we would learn what the human race really is at
bottom, we need only to observe it at election times.
Mark Twain.
The human race has improved everything except the
human race. Adlai Stevenson.
Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps
the chief happiness which this world affords.
Samuel Johnson.

Tech, small-cap stocks pull back from highs
By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK U. S. stocks
declined Tuesday as big technolo-
gy companies and smaller firms
gave up some of their recent
gains. Stocks hit record highs
over the previous two days as the
Republican-backed tax bill made
its way through Congress.
Smaller companies in particular
have surged because investors feel
they will be major beneficiaries of
lower corporate tax rates. High-
dividend stocks dropped as bond
yields rose.
Investors like the proposed tax
cut because it would boost corpo-
rate profits and likely raise stock
prices along with it. The bill
would initially cut taxes for most
Americans but by 2027 would
increase tax bills for most.
While stocks werent doing
much Tuesday, bond prices fell.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to its highest price in
more than a month, to 2.45 per-
cent from 2. 39 percent late
Monday.

Fed approves living wills for eight big banks
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Federal regu-

had approved the disaster plans for
the nations eight largest and most
complex banks outlining the
strategies they would deploy if
they fell into bankruptcy.
The announcement Tuesday by

came after the two agencies in
April 2016 deemed that the plans
of five of the eight banks were
deficient.
Congress imposed the require-

The tax bill passed through the
House, largely along party lines
ahead of a Senate vote scheduled
for Tuesday night. The $1.5 tril-
lion package would cut the corpo-
rate tax rate to 21 percent from 35
nations biggest banks to describe
their plans to implement a rapid
and orderly winding down under
bankruptcy in the event that the
institution came under severe
financial distress.
While approving the plans of all
eight banks, the regulators found
in their latest review that the plans
of four Bank of America,
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley
and Wells Fargo had shortcom-
ings that will need attention in the
next round of review.
Regulators found no shortcom-

other four Bank of New York

All eight banks will need to sub-

Lot of talent, intrigue in girls hoops

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The high school basketball season hits an

expected lull with the holidays right around
the corner. Most teams will play only a hand-
ful of games over the next couple of weeks as
they ramp up their preparation for the start of
league play, which opens shortly after the
start of the new year.
If the non-league portion of the schedule is
any indication, the battle for Peninsula
Athletic League supremacy should be as
unpredictable as it has been in years.
In the 10-team South Division, seven cur-
rently have winning records. One without a
winning record, Menlo-Atherton (2-4), is
the three-time defending South Division
champ. The Bears have played the toughest
schedule of any team in the PAL thus far and
they have two of the top-five players in the
entire league in senior post Greer Hoyem and
shooting guard Carly McLanahan. Add in the
return of Stella Kailahi, who sat out most of
league play last season for personal and
personnel reasons, along with a trio of
freshmen, most notably post player Filippa
Ljunggren, and the PAL title will go through
the Atherton school, no matter what their
record is in December.

Dodgers and Yankees College football sets new

take big luxury-tax hits targeting penalty record
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The Los Angeles
Dodgers will pay baseballs high-
est luxury tax for the fourth
straight year and the New York
Yankees owe a penalty for a 15th
consecutive season, streaks that
could end as the sports biggest
spenders slash payroll for 2018.
The Dodgers owe $36.2 million,
according to final figures compiled
by the commissioners office and
obtained by the Associated Press.
That raises their five-year tax total
to nearly $150 million.
New York was second at $15.7
million, its lowest amount since
2011 but a figure that increased its
total since the tax began to $341
million. San Francisco was next at
$4.1 million, followed by Detroit
at almost $3.7 million and
Washington which is paying
tax for the first time at just
under $1.45 million.
The Dodgers and Yankees vow to
get below next years tax threshold
of $197 million. That would reset
their base tax rate from 50 percent
to 20 percent going into the 2018-
19 offseason, when Bryce Harper,
Manny Machado and possibly
Clayton Kershaw head a potential-
ly illustrious free-agent class.

Targeting penalties in the top
tier of college football reached an
all-time high this season and the
Pac-12 and Southeastern confer-
ences had the most players
flagged, according to an analysis
of NCAA data and research by the
Associated Press.
It has been 10 years since the
crackdown started on forcible hits
above the shoulders of players
determined to be defenseless. This
season, the NCAA reported 188
enforced targeting calls in 832
regular-season games of the Bowl
Subdivision; that is 30 percent
more than last year, when there
were 144 in 839 games. The per-
game average has risen 35 percent,
from 0.17 last year to 0.23 this
season. It is the fourth consecutive
season that targeting calls have
increased.
That might seem alarming, but
the increase doesnt indicate a
trend of head-hunting in the sport,
said Rogers Redding, the NCAAs
national coordinator of officials.
Even though the
numbers are up, the
player behavior overall
has changed.
Rogers Redding, NCAA national
coordinator of officials
He attributed the increase to offi-
cials getting better at detecting the
penalty, more willingness of
replay officials to call fouls
missed on the field and the expand-
ed definition of what constitutes a
defenseless player.
The calls may be up, but play is
likely safer.
Players are getting their head
out of it, theyre lowering their
strike zone, you dont see as much
of a launch, but you still see a
crouch and upward thrust, he said.
Even though the numbers are up,
the player behavior overall has
changed.

Oklahoma superintendent
out amid sex assault case
By Justin Juozapvicus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TULSA, Okla. An Oklahoma superin-
tendent resigned Tuesday amid an investiga-
tion of accusations that several school
administrators failed to promptly report the
sexual assault of a 16-year-old football
player by several teammates.
Bixby Schools Superintendent Kyle
Wood resigned at a special school board
meeting as pressure has mounted from some
community members who have previously
blasted board members for refusing to take
any action on the assault case.
Wood had been superintendent for more
than 11 years, overseeing one of the states
largest school districts with more than
6,000 students and a powerhouse football
program thats captured three state champi-
onships in the past four years. The program
is big enough to draw numerous sponsors
including national fast-food restaurants
McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A, and athletic
clothing company Under Armour.
Woods attorney said his client denies any
wrongdoing and is cooperating with an out-
side criminal investigation.

The person spoke on condition of
Dr. Wood did not violate any law regard-
ing reporting of child abuse, nor has he vio-
lated any district rule or policy, attorney
Paul DeMuro said in a statement Tuesday.
Because of the ongoing investigation, Dr.
Wood will not litigate this case in the
press.
High school administrators are accused of
waiting eight days to contact police to
report what they first deemed an alleged
hazing incident after the football player
told officials that a teammate had inserted a
pool cue into his anus through his shorts.
The boy said he was assaulted in September
during a team function at Woods house. He
told investigators that he was assaulted in a
similar manner a year earlier at an event
also held at Woods house.
The suburban Tulsa school district began
investigating on Oct. 26. Its report includ-
ed interviews with the boy and his mother,
but an affidavit filed by investigators pro-
vided a fuller account. The boy told investi-
gators he was assaulted by one player while
three others held him down. Investigators
say a fifth player recorded the assault on a
cellphone, and another blocked a door,
according to the affidavit.

announcement was not authorized.

Wednesday for an announcement on the
future of soccer in Nashville and said MLS
Commissioner Don Garber will attend along
with Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, Nashville
Mayor Megan Barry and John R. Ingram,
head of the group bidding for a Nashville
team.
Investigators said officials lag in report-
ing the assault may have jeopardized their
ability to recover key evidence. A search
warrant said some school officials may
have tried to not report the incident at all
which is a misdemeanor offense under
Oklahoma law.
The boards decision not to suspend the
accused officials pending the outcome of
the investigation had angered some resi-
dents, with one parent blasting board mem-
bers last week for keeping school adminis-
trators on the job given the nature of the
case.
The assault is being investigated by an
outside prosecutor and the Oklahoma State
Bureau of Investigation. Spokeswomen at
both agencies said Tuesday the investiga-
tions were ongoing.
An Associated Press investigation pub-
lished earlier this year examined sexual vio-
lence in school sports as part of a larger
look at student-on-student sex assaults.
Teammate-on-teammate sexual assaults
occurred in all types of sports in public
schools, and experts said the more than 70
cases in five years that AP identified were an
undercount.
Nashville and Sacramento, California,
were viewed as the favorites for the leagues
25th and 26th teams, with Cincinnati and
Detroit the other finalists. A decision on the
second area picked is expected within a few
weeks.

Early signing period challenging for new coaches
By Steve Megargee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An active coaching carousel has added
more uncertainty to this weeks early sign-
ing period and its impact on this years
recruiting cycle.
A new policy allows high school seniors
to sign national letters of intent Wednesday
through Friday of this week in addition to
the traditional February signing date.
That left a short recruiting window for the
11 Power Five programs that changed
coaches in the last month, a figure that
increases to 12 including Mississippis
decision to remove the interim tag from
Matt Lukes title . The list includes eight
schools that signed top-25 classes last year
according to a composite ranking of recruit-
ing sites compiled by 247Sports: Florida
State , Florida , Texas A&M , Tennessee ,
Oregon , UCLA , Nebraska and Mississippi
State .
Its difficult because of the relationships
you have to build, which is so important in
recruiting, and you have such a short time
building those relationships, Florida State
coach Willie Taggart said. So its a chal-
lenge, but I look forward to it.
The newly hired coaches have plenty of
ground to make up.

fouls committed by players in a particular
league.
The AP verified the circumstances of 176
targeting calls this season through official
play-by-play sheets, media accounts and with
the assistance of school and conference
sports information directors.
The SEC confirmed 27 instances of its play-
ers being flagged for targeting but declined to
provide details of five calls not reported on
play-by-play sheets or by the media. In all,
the AP could not account for seven targeting
penalties out of the 188 reported by the
NCAA.
Among the APs findings:
The Pac-12 had a nation-high 30 targeting
calls against its players, with UCLA and Utah
having five apiece.
Five other FBS schools had five targeting
calls: Akron, New Mexico State, Ohio State,
Temple and Texas A&M.
SPORTS
Under the old recruiting
calendar, coaches that took over
programs in December had a
couple of months to sway
recruits. Now they just have a
couple of weeks.
As of early Tuesday afternoon, Nebraska
was in the 40s while Tennessee and Florida
State were outside the top 50 in the
247Sports Composite. Those classes lost
numerous verbal commitments amid coach-
ing changes.
Under the old recruiting calendar, coaches
that took over programs in December had a
couple of months to sway recruits. Now
they just have a couple of weeks.
As it looks now, many of those new
coaches will have to fill their class from a
small pool of available prospects when the
February signing date approaches.
The transition classes from schools that
have new coaches are going to be lower
rated than weve ever seen in some cases
because now they dont have that extra
month of January for a lot of these kids to
change their minds, said Mike Farrell, the
director of recruiting for Rivals.
Akron cornerback Alvin Davis Jr. was
flagged for targeting three times, most in the
nation, and seven other players were each
flagged twice.
On 152 running or passing plays when tar-
geting occurred, 46 calls were against
safeties, 43 against defensive linemen, 33
against linebackers and 20 against corner-
backs.
Of the 176 verified calls, 113 occurred on
pass plays, 39 on runs, 21 on kickoffs or
punts, and one each on a point-after touch-
down, 2-point conversion try and field-goal
attempt.
More than half of the possessions in
which targeting was called ended with a score
for the offended team 83 touchdowns, 18
field goals.
Targeting most often occurred on first
down (59 times).
The 14-team Atlantic Coast Conference had
only six enforced targeting calls. Redding
said differing styles of play can lead to vari-
ances across conferences, but he said the ACC
figure was surprisingly low and he initially
thought it was the result of a reporting error.
ACC coordinator of football officiating
Dennis Hennigan said its no mistake. He
credited league coaches for doing a good job
of teaching proper tackling technique and
whats legal, and the players for adapting to
The early signing period also creates
complications for veteran coaches prepar-
ing teams for the postseason. Thats partic-
ularly true for teams that played in bowls
last weekend as most programs were host-
ing prospects.
Our message there is while staffs are out
there recruiting, were playing, which is
what you want to be doing that type of
year, said Boise State coach Bryan Harsin,
whose Broncos beat Oregon in the Las
Vegas Bowl on Saturday.
Alabamas Nick Saban expressed his frus-
tration with the early signing period, say-
ing, I have not talked to a coach thats
happy with it.
Still, there are coaches who have
embraced it.
Clemsons Dabo Swinney said he liked
the early signing period and noted it allows
prospects who made their college choices
months ago to finalize their decisions.
Most of our guys are committed, and I
think it allows everybody the chance to
kind of move on, Swinney said.
How many will sign early? Because this
early signing period is a new thing, nobody
knows for sure how many seniors will capi-
talize on it. Farrell believes about 70 per-
cent of senior prospects will sign this
week.
targeting rules. Hennigan said he was satisfied
with how his officiating crews performed.
I dont know if it was the luck of the draw
this year, but we simply didnt have a lot of
targeting in our conference. Just one of those
years, he said. Obviously, I hope that
(ACC) trend continues.
Todd Berry, executive director of the
American Football Coaches Association, also
noted the disparity between the ACC and the
Pac-12 but said one year is too small a sam-
ple.
If those numbers come back, we need to
look at, Is the Pac-12 officiating it right or is
the ACC not officiating it right? Berry said.
We need to look at several years of data.
The targeting penalty was introduced in
2008 not just because of growing concerns
about the sports concussion risk but also as a
response to research showing catastrophic
head, neck, spine and brain injuries at all lev-
els of football spiked in the 2000s.
Targeting initially was a personal foul, but
starting in 2013 it resulted in a player ejec-
tion, and since then all targeting calls are sub-
ject to video review and can be overturned. In
2016, replay officials were given the discre-
tion to call targeting fouls missed by field
officials, and this year their charge expanded
to stopping the game to call any targeting
foul they see.

Rib-eye steaks with thyme-garlic butter

By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A perfectly cooked steak is what
many people with good reason
think of as a perfect meal.
This is a classy take on a restau-
rant-quality steak dinner, and
other than remembering to salt the
steak ahead of time (not a deal
breaker, but recommended), its
only 30 minutes from start to fin-
ish.
Note these instructions are for a
thick steak, at least 1 1/2-inches
thick. Thinner steaks dont need
the additional oven-roasting time,
and will likely be overdone if they
go into the oven after they are
seared on both sides.
Here are five things that help
make a good steak great, and a
great steak marvelous:
1) Salting the meat a day before
cooking it draws out excess liquid,
concentrating and developing the
flavor, and allows the meat to
form a nice caramelized exterior.
You can salt it an hour ahead too,
but the longer time allows the sea-
soning to get past the surface into
the middle of the meat.
2) Let the meat come to room
temperature before cooking, or
the inside will take significantly
longer to warm up and cook, and
by that time the outside of the
steak will be overcooked.
3) Pat the meat dry before put-
ting it in the pan. If the meat is
wet, it wont sear well.
4) Use an oil with a high smok-
ing point, like canola or veg-
etable, to cook steaks on the
stove. Butter or oil with a lower
This is a classy take on a restaurant-quality steak dinner and, other than remembering to salt the steak ahead of
time, its only 30 minutes from start to finish.
smoking point will burn, and
cause the steak to have a burnt
taste, even if it is not overcooked
itself. Butter is a lovely thought,
but add it at the end and just allow
it to melt in the hot pan.
5) This doesnt affect the quality
of the steak, but turn on the
exhaust fan! Odds are there will be
a lot of smoke, so prepare by turn-
ing on the fan, opening windows
and doors as you can, and thinking
of this as a test to see if your
smoke alarm batteries are still
working.
And there you have it. Roast
some potatoes once the oven is
preheated, add a little sautied
spinach (cooked up while the
steak is in the oven) or a green
salad, and youve got that perfect
steak dinner in your own home.
RIB EYE STEAKS WITH
THYME-GARLIC BUTTER
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Serves 4, generously
2 rib-eye steaks, about 1 1/2
inches thick, and 1 to 1 1/4
pounds each
Kosher salt and freshly ground
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons canola or veg-
etable oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick)
unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
The night before cooking the
steaks, salt and pepper them liber-
ally, and put them on a plate (if
you have a wire rack, place them
on the rack over a plate).
Refrigerate uncovered overnight.
One hour before cooking the
steaks, take them out of the fridge
and allow them to come to room
temperature.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
F. Heat the oil in a large skillet
(big enough to hold both steaks)
over high heat. Pat the meat dry
and add the steaks to the pan. Sear
for 4 to 5 minutes, until the bot-
tom is nicely browned, and then
flip the steaks and brown for
another 3 minutes. Transfer the
pan to the oven and roast for
another 5 to 10 minutes until the
internal temperature reaches 120
to 125 degrees F for rare, 125 to
130 degrees F for medium rare.
Remove the steak from the pan
to a cutting board, pour off any fat
that has accumulated in the pan,
and place the pan over medium low
heat. Add the butter, garlic and
thyme, and stir just until the butter
has melted and you can smell the
garlic (this will be quick, about 30
seconds, as the pan will be hot).
Brush half of the seasoned butter
over the resting steak and pour the
rest of the butter into a small
bowl. Let the steak sit for 10 min-
utes.
Slice the steak with a large,
sharp knife, and fan out the slices
on a serving platter. Brush the
slices of meat with the remaining
melted butter.

Serve Spanish-style crispy potatoes for New Years party
By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The classic New Years libation is cham-
pagne, but what to eat is a matter of broader
choice. This year why not make it a tapas
party a feast of various little bites? And,
if indeed thats how you choose to roll, one
of those dishes should be these crispy baked
potatoes with a garlicky red pepper mayo
sauce.
Spanish Style Crispy Potatoes with
Garlicky Red Pepper Sauce is a streamlined
take on a Spanish classic called patatas
bravas deep-fried chunks of potato with a
spicy tomato sauce and/or aioli sort of
like the Spanish equivalent of french fries.
But given that most folks arent keen on fir-
ing up a big vat of boiling oil, Ive engi-
neered a baked version. Its not quite as
crispy as the fried, but it comes close.
How to make crispy potatoes without fry-
ing? Here are a few tricks: First, partially
cook the potato slices in simmering water
with a bit of baking soda, which makes the
exteriors of the potatoes slightly mushy
and releases their starch and sugar. Then
toss the hot potatoes in a bowl with oil and
salt, which encourages a starchy film to
accumulate on the potatoes exterior. When
the potatoes are roasted, all of that starch
and sugar on the outside helps to form a
crispy brown crust.
As for the lip-smacking sauce a mix of
pureed red peppers, smoky paprika and gar-
lic mayo you can drizzle it on top of the
potatoes or set it on the side as a dip. This
dish of crispy potatoes and spicy dip pairs
very nicely with bubbly wine or dry sherry,
if youre in the mood to salute the dishs

To serve:Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with the sauce,or serve the sauce on the side.
Spanish DNA. However, theres no reason
to reserve this recipe for a special occasion
like New Years. It will make a very satisfy-
ing side dish whenever you serve it.

combine the potatoes and baking soda with
enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring
to boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until
the exterior part of the slices has softened
but the centers are still slightly firm when
pricked with a knife, about 5 minutes.
While the potatoes are simmering, place
a rimmed sheet pan on the bottom rack of
the oven to heat up. Drain the potatoes and
return them to the saucepan. Cook over
medium heat a few minutes, shaking the pan
until there is no excess water on the surface
of the potatoes. Transfer them to large
bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil
and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss well to com-
bine. Drizzle with another 1 tablespoon oil
and continue to toss until coated with a
starchy paste.
Carefully remove the sheet pan from the
oven and pour the remaining tablespoon of
oil onto it, tilting the pan to coat the bot-
tom. Add the potatoes and spread them out
in one layer (the end pieces should be placed
skin side up). Bake until the bottoms are
golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating
the pan after 10 minutes. Flip the potatoes
and brown them on the second side, 15 to
20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Make the sauce: In a blender puree the
peppers. Add the remaining ingredients and
blend, scraping down the sides several
times, until smooth.
To serve: Transfer the potatoes to a bowl
and drizzle with the sauce, or serve the sauce
on the side.

TAX
Continued from page 1
and Collections.
However, people can pay the second
installment for this current years property
taxes and possibly count them toward 2017.
For those who opted to pay their property
taxes in installments, the second of which
is typically not due until April, Elliot said
they can make the full payment now.
But exactly when that check needs to be
received in order to count as a deduction in
2017 is unclear and they suggested people
contact their accountants for advice.
I would like to encourage people to con-
sult their tax professional to best prepare
them for any future impacts to their taxes,
Elliot said, suggesting its not up to the tax
collectors office to determine deduction eli-
gibility.
Olaiya agreed saying I think everybody
is still trying to unravel and un-package
this in such a way that works for taxpayers
LOCAL
as well as those who are filing. My recom-
mendation is they talk to their financial
advisors.
In San Mateo County, Elliot suggested the
payments must be received in calendar year
2017. And whether you mail a check, pay
online or drop it off in person, it will only
be processed once its received not just
postmarked. With New Years Eve falling on
a weekend, it means Friday Dec. 29 may be
the cutoff.
But Olaiya suggested an accountant may
be able to determine whether payments
made in 2018 toward 2017 taxes can still
count. Like many across the country, all
eyes are on Washington, D.C., as experts
analyze the pragmatics of how the new tax
rules roll out.
While both counties reported an increase
in the number of people paying the second
installment early, Elliot and Olaiya indicat-
ed they cannot accept advance payments for
2018 since property assessments havent
been conducted.
The California Association of County
Treasurers and Tax Collectors has been
reviewing the states revenue and taxation
code to determine how the GOPs tax cuts
might affect operations. Ultimately, Olaiya
said theyve determined tax collectors dont
have the authority to accept prepayments
for bills that havent been issued yet.
Taxes are based on a propertys assessed
value as of Jan. 1 of a given year. It typical-
ly takes the San Mateo Countys Assessor-
County Clerk-Recorders Office several
months to compile the tax roll, meaning
next years bills dont exist yet, Elliot
explained.
We cannot accept payment earlier,
theres nothing to pay, Elliot said.
Assessments can take quite a while, thats
why taxes arent billed until later in the
year.
But some concerned California taxpayers
have suggested the county try to quickly
amend its rules and set up a system where
people can estimate their property taxes
which may be more easily predicted due
to Proposition 13 and have the county
hold the funds or set up some type of escrow
account. But with less than two weeks in the
Wednesday Dec. 20, 2017 19
year and the legalities of such a move
unknown, it appears unlikely.
When asked about the prospect, Elliot
noted its hard to even speculate how such a
system might function and emphasized they
can only work with whats currently in
place.
We certainly dont have the ability to
monitor payments in advance in that way.
Our system wont even accept payments in
advance, Elliot said.
Olaiya agreed stating until we receive the
roll and who is going to be billed for what,
we dont have a bill to create.
Regardless, Elliot and Olaiya strongly
urged people to consult a tax preparation
professional for advice.
While the two counties tax collection
agencies have been inundated with calls in
recent days, they noted its been a long jour-
ney to get to this point.
The association for treasurers and tax
collectors have been discussing this since
the Republican tax plan was made public,
because were all going through the same
problems, Olaiya said.

POLICY
Continued from page 1
toward the goal of revamping the tax code,
gleefully pounded the gavel on the final
House vote, but then it turned out it wasnt
final after all.
The Senate still expected to pass the leg-
islation Tuesday night, but the plan to send
it on to Trump for his signature had to be
scrapped. Democrats noted that three provi-
sions violated Senate rules and had to be
removed. So the massive bill will be hauled
back across the Capitol for the House to re-
vote on Wednesday.
GOP House members roared and applauded
as their chamber passed the $1.5 trillion
package largely along party lines, 227-
203. Ryan declared, This was a promise
made. This is a promise kept, as he and
other GOP leaders convened a victory news
conference moments later.
The Senate was still on track to approve
the package that will touch every American
taxpayer and every corner of the U.S. econ-
omy, providing steep tax cuts for business-
es and the wealthy, and more modest help
for middle- and low-income families.
Despite Republican talk of spending disci-
pline, the bill will push the huge national
debt ever higher.
After the delay for a second House vote,
the measure then heads to Trump who is
aching for a win after 11 months of legisla-
tive failures and non-starters. The president
tweeted his congratulations to GOP leaders
and all great House Republicans who voted
in favor of cutting your taxes!
Congressional Republicans, who faltered
badly in trying to dismantle Barack
Obamas Affordable Care Act, see passage of
the tax bill as crucial to proving to
Americans they can govern and impera-
tive for holding onto House and Senate
majorities in next years midterm elections.
They have repeatedly argued the bill will
spur economic growth as corporations,
flush with cash, increase wages and hire
more workers. But they acknowledge they
have work to do in convincing everyday
Americans. Many voters in surveys see the
legislation as a boost to the wealthy, such
as Trump and his family, and a minor gain at
best for the middle class.
I dont think weve done a good job mes-
saging, said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.
Now, youre able to look at the final prod-
uct.
Ryan was positive, even insistent. He
declared, Results are whats going to make
this popular.
Democrats called the bill a giveaway to
corporations and the wealthy, with no
likelihood that business owners will use
their gains to hire more workers or raise
wag es . An d t h ey mo ck ed the
Republicans contention that the bill will
make taxes so simple that millions can
file their returns on a postcard an
idea repeated often by the president.
What happened to the postcard? Were
going to have to carry around a billboard for
tax simplification, declared Rep. Richard
Neal of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on
the Ways and Means Committee.
Tax cuts for corporations would be perma-
nent while the cuts for individuals would
expire in 2026 in order to comply with
Senate budget rules. The tax cuts would take
effect in January, and workers would start to
see changes in the amount of taxes withheld
from their paychecks in February.
For now, Democrats are planning to use
the bill in their campaigns next year. Senate
Democrats posted poll numbers on the bill
on a video screen at their Tuesday luncheon.
This bill will come back to haunt them,
as Frankenstein did, said House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
The bill would slash the corporate income
tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The
top tax rate for individuals would be lowered
from 39.6 percent to 37 percent.

BUTTS

year-old high school student. The girl was 13
when the relationship began, prosecutors
said.
Police responded to an anonymous report
of a white van parked in front of Lomita Park
Elementary School in Millbrae with Butts
and the victim kissing inside. Officers found
her alone in the vehicle, but the victim was
found nearby.
The victim initially told investigators that
nothing inappropriate had happened, but
later admitted that she had been kissing Butts
and said the two were in love. Further inves-
tigation found explicit text messages and
evidence of sexual conduct going back to
October 2015.
At the sentencing hearing Dec. 19, Butts
said she was sorry for affecting so many lives
but referred to the victim as a sexually
sophisticated partner. She said that she had
saved the victims life by keeping her from
suicide at a time when shed been distraught,
prosecutors said.
We occasionally hear that from defense
attorneys trying to put on the best face for
their client, but judges almost always reject
that, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
At 13, dealing with an adult, you can in no
way attribute anything to the sexual sophis-
tication of
the victim,
Wa g s t a f f e
said. Its a
n o n -fact o r,
irrelevant in
our minds.
He did note that the victim had told inves-
tigators that she did not want Butts prosecut-
ed or convicted.
She wanted nothing to do with it,
Wagstaffe said.
Butts will be required to register as a sex
offender, despite a motion from her attorney,
and will be prohibited from associating with
minors or frequenting places where children
congregate like parks, schools and pizza par-
lors. A motion to reduce her felony convic-
tion to a misdemeanor was also denied
Tuesday, Wagstaffe said.
Defense attorney Paula Canny did not
immediately respond to a request for com-
ment on her clients behalf.
Butts legal name has been changed to
Heather Wilson, which Wagstaffe expects
will be the name used when she registers as a
sex offender. Wilson is her mothers maiden
name and what she used after her parents
divorced. That was before she reportedly mar-
ried her husband, with whom she has two
children ages 9 and 12, according to
Wagstaffe.
As part of her 120 sentence, Butts received
one days credit for time behind bars, accord-
ing to prosecutors.

draft an inclusionary housing ordi-
nance. Councilwomen Alicia Aguirre
and Shelly Masur were absent from the
meeting.
Mayor Ian Bain said he looked for-
ward to discussing yet another tool
available to officials for facilitating
affordable housing after a shift in state
law earlier this fall allowed cities to
consider requiring on-site affordable
units for rental projects.
This is a tool that we have been
asking for for a long time, he said.
What this does is it gives us another
mechanism to help ensure that afford-
able units are created.
By requiring residential developers
that dont include affordable housing
in their projects to pay an in-lieu fee
toward future construction, Bain
acknowledged the affordable housing
impact fee the city adopted in 2015 has
raised funds toward below-market-rate
housing in the city. But he noted a
preference for having affordable units
built into new housing projects so the
city is not in the position of figuring
out what to do with the funds collected.
We would like to have them built
into the [project] because it takes us
out of the situation of being the mid-
dleman, he said.
Assistant City Manager Aaron
Aknin said the citys affordable hous-
ing impact fund has made some 70
affordable units available in the past
year through two apartment building
projects. He added that an amendment
to the downtown precise plan ensur-
ing at least 15 percent of the total

Luckily, hes an electrician and
clearly eager to make his wife happy.
I like that shes enthusiastic about

going along with it this year for
sure, he said.
With the influx of new decorations,
he rewired many of the antiques,
replaced the bulbs with energy-effi-
cient LEDs and created a system hes
confident will be easier to set up next
year.

number of units built downtown are
offered at affordable rates has resulted
in the proposal of some 222 afford-
able units in the downtown area since
it was adopted in May 2016.
Though the council initiated talks
on an inclusionary housing ordinance
Monday, Aknin said much is still up
for discussion, including the percent
of units designated as affordable, the
level of affordability and whether the
ordinance would apply to for-sale,
rental or single-family homes, among
other types of projects. The Planning
Commission and City Council are
expected to review a draft ordinance in
early and late spring, respectively.
Though Vice Mayor Diane Howard
acknowledged the states recommen-
dation to cap the portion of affordable
units required for a given project at 15
percent, she urged her colleagues to
consider requiring 20 percent of the
units be available at below-market
rates.
I just feel that we can handle it and
the developers are going to make a
profit, she said. This is the time to
do it.
Howard mentioned smaller units and
modifying the types and number of
amenities offered in large housing
projects as strategies the city could
encourage developers to use to make
method, he explained.
Despite the additional work, the duo
have undoubtedly had fun with the
process and results. Part of the influx
of new pieces stemmed from a trip to
Disneyland this summer where they
found themselves at a massive
Southern California flea market.
We just happened to hit the jack-
pot, Aimee Knowles said before
recounting the funny looks they got on
the drive back north with a pickup truck
full of giant Christmas decorations.
Back home on Anita Avenue in
Belmont, people have also taken
notice.
If nothing else, its been funny,
because the shocked look on peoples
faces is actually very entertaining,
she said. You just see the cars slow
down and the mouth drops open. Its
kind of fun. Theyre probably think-
ing what the heck is that? ing. Theres something, its just

to see families stop by on their
evening walks and watch kids enjoy-

sure projects were financially viable.
Though she noted the citys success in
working with nonprofit developers to
create affordable units, she said work-
ing with traditional developers on
large projects could be another way to
make a meaningful impact on the
citys housing stock.
If we save our money and give to
nonprofits, yes, we will get a small
number of affordable units, but it will
never ever be able to make the kind of
impact as having someone that wants
to build a large number of units, she
said.
Councilman Jeff Gee suggested offi-
cials take advantage of the lessons
learned from other communities that
have already implemented similar
policies. He noted the variables offi-
cials consider within a new ordinance
could affect outcomes as well as exist-
ing measures in different ways.
Therefore he voiced support for an
economic analysis to accompany the
percentage of units officials might
designate as affordable in new proj-
ects.
We just need to learn from this
because its all pretty much brand
new, Gee said.
Councilman John Seybert recom-
mended officials discuss the policy
with developers, nonprofits and com-
munity members to gauge its impact
on a variety of stakeholders when the
draft ordinance comes back for discus-
sion.
Aknin said officials could consider
adopting an inclusionary housing
ordinance or a more comprehensive
housing ordinance encompassing the
other measures officials have consid-
ered to increase the citys housing
stock as early as the summer of 2018.

as it brings the family closer together

said.
Honestly I just love it. Theres

Saudis intercept Yemen rebel missile
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia The Saudi-led coalition fighting
Yemens Shiite rebels said it intercepted a missile fired over
southern Riyadh on Tuesday, which the rebels said was tar-
geting a top leadership meeting at the royal palace in the
kingdoms capital.
It was the second time in as many months that a rebel pro-
jectile had reached as far inside the kingdom as Riyadh. The
Yemeni rebels, known as the Houthis, said they launched a
ballistic missile to target Yamama Palace in Riyadh, where
King Salman chairs weekly government meetings and
receives dignitaries and heads of state from around the world.

Al-Qaida divisions may aid
Assad as he eyes Syrias Idlib
By Bassem Mrouse
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT As President Bashar
Assad seeks to reassert his authority in
Idlib, the only remaining province in
Syria where his forces have almost no
presence, he may be aided there by
deep fractures within al-Qaida, the mil-
itant group that dominates the region.
A recent wave of detentions and a
spate of violence within al-Qaida have
also raised fears of an all-out war
between insurgents in the heavily
populated province near Turkey as
Assads forces make their push.
Assad lost control of Idlib nearly
three years ago and he has vowed to
recapture it, but that is expected to be a
bloody and costly fight. The militant
haven is heavily fortified and home to
thousands of fighters who transferred
there from other parts of the country. It
is also where tens of thousands of
civilians settled after fleeing fighting
in Aleppo, Homs, the suburbs of
Damascus and elsewhere.
Tensions inside Idlib have been on
the rise for months, reflecting a power
struggle between hard-line foreign
fighters loyal to al-Qaidas leader,
Ayman al-Zawahri, and its more moder-
ate Syrian members.
The tensions worsened in late
November after a wave of detentions
by an al-Qaida-linked group against
more extremist, mostly non-Syrian
members. Among those detained were
two of al-Qaidas most esteemed lead-
ers and founding members of the
extremist groups branch in Syria,
who were set free days later after pres-
sure by factions within the group who
