Cases could open door to
pension cuts in California
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — For decades in
California, a sacrosanct rule has governed
public employees’ pensions: Benefits
promised can never be taken away.
But cases before the state Supreme Court
threaten to reverse that premise and open
the door to benefit cuts for workers still on
the job.
The lawsuits have enormous implications
for California cities, counties, schools, fire
districts and other local bodies facing a
sharp rise in their pension costs.
The ballooning expenses are an issue that
Gov. Jerry Brown will face in his final year
in office despite his earlier efforts to reform
the state’s pension systems and pay down
massive unfunded liabilities.
His office has taken the unusual step of
arguing one case itself, pushing aside
Attorney General Xavier Becerra and mak-
ing a forceful pitch for the Legislature’s
right to limit benefits.
At issue is the “California Rule,” which
dates to court rulings beginning in 1947. It
says workers enter a contract with their
employer on their first day of work, enti-
tling them to retirement benefits that can
never be diminished unless replaced with
similar benefits.
It gives workers security that their retire-
ment will be safe and predictable after a
career in public service. But it also ties law-
makers’ hands in responding to exploding
pension costs.
It’s widely accepted that retirement bene-
fits linked to work already performed can-

controversial because it prohibits even
prospective changes for work the employee
has not yet done.
“Lots of people in the pension communi-
ty are paying attention to these cases and
are really interested in what the California
Supreme Court is going to do here,” said
Amy Monahan, a University of Minnesota
professor who studies pension law.
Pension systems around the country are
facing unprecedented pressures from gener-
ous benefits, severe losses during the Great
Recession, mostly anemic investment
earnings since, and retirees living for
longer.
California’s two major pension funds,
which have more than $570 billion in
assets between them, have enough money
to pay for only about two-thirds of their
anticipated costs.
As a result, both the California Public
Employees Retirement System and the
State Teachers Retirement System will col-
lect billions of additional dollars from state
and local governments, putting pressure on
those budgets.
The pending cases stem from a Brown-
backed 2012 pension reform law that
sought to rein in costs and end practices
viewed as abuses of the system. One of
those eliminated benefits was a right to buy
up to five years of credit when retirement

UC regent resigns amid
criticism over remark
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A University of California regent
who was caught on tape last year asking an employee if he
could hold her breasts has decided to
resign amid growing calls that he step
down.
Regent Norman J. Pattiz sent a letter
dated Thursday to Regents Chair George
Keiffer saying that after 16 years on the
board he would retire in February.
His letter, which was first reported by
the San Francisco Chronicle, did not
Norman Pattiz mention the sexual harassment accusa-
tion.
Keiffer responded in a letter that thanked Pattiz for
announcing his retirement, adding that “after so many years
you deserve a break.”
Pattiz is the founder of America’s largest radio network,
Westwood One, and CEO of Courtside Entertainment Group,
which produces radio shows and podcasts.
The controversy became public in October 2016, when
comedian Heather McDonald aired comments that Pattiz had
made to her while taping a podcast commercial in May
2016 for a memory-foam bra.
She flubbed some of her lines, and Pattiz asked, “Can I
hold your breasts? Would that help?” and showed his hands,
saying, “These are memory foam.”
Pattiz subsequently apologized for the remarks and said
they were meant as a joke.

of carjacking, country club crash
Bail for an Oakland man facing

Perez drove south on Highway 101 and
onto city streets in Burlingame and
Millbrae, ultimately reaching speeds
up to 95 mph after officers turned on
emergency equipment, according to
prosecutors.
Perez allegedly went through stop
signs on Ludeman Lane and a locked
gate at the Green Hills Country Club in
Millbrae before crashing into a brick
wall. He and the two other female pas-
sengers in the car fled on foot, but were
found within 90 minutes and taken
into custody by sheriff’s deputies who
had responded to the scene, according
to prosecutors and the Sheriff’s Office.
Perez is believed to have stolen the
car in the East Bay and to have been
under the influence of cocaine during
the chase. No evidence showing the
women had knowledge the car was
stolen or encouraged him to continue
fleeing authorities has been uncov-
ered, according to prosecutors.
Perez previously pleaded not guilty
to felony driving and possessing a
stolen car as well as fleeing an officer
at high speeds and endangering others.
He is also facing misdemeanor charges
alleging he was driving under the
influence of drugs and without a lawful
license and resisted or delayed arrest,
according to prosecutors.

Spare the Air alerts issued
for last three days of 2017
The Bay Area Air Quality
Management District has issued
Winter Spare the Air alerts for the final
three days of 2017 because of a fore-
cast for unhealthy air quality in the
region.
Wood burning is banned in the Bay
Area on Winter Spare the Air days, so
residents will not be allowed to ban
wood, manufactured fire logs or other
solid fuel indoors or outdoors on
Friday, Saturday or Sunday, air district
officials said.
A continued high-pressure weather
system in the region is expected to
have clear and calm conditions that
trap smoke near the ground, according
to the air district.
Wood-burning ban exemptions are
available for homes without perma-
nently installed heating that rely on
wood stoves or fireplaces for their sole
source of heat and have a U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency-cer-
tified device.
First-time violators of the ban can
pay a $100 ticket or take a wood
smoke awareness class online or by
mail. Subsequent violations will result
in fines of $500 and higher.
The alerts are the 14th, 15th and
16th of the winter season, which start-
ed Nov. 1 and runs through Feb. 28.

As West Coast fights homelessness, kindness is contentious
By Amy Taxin and Geoff Mulvihill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM — Mohammed Aly does not see any reason

why he shouldn’t try to ease the lives of Orange County’s
homeless. But the authorities — and many of his neighbors
— disagree.
Aly, a 28-year-old lawyer and activist, has been arrested
three times as he campaigned on behalf of street people.
Recently, he was denied permission to install portable toi-
lets on a dried-up riverbed, site of an encampment of rough-
ly 400 homeless.
“Put yourself in their position: Would you want a toilet,
or would you not want a toilet?” he asked. “It is a question
of basic empathy.”
But his detractors — engaged in a dispute that rages up
and down America’s West Coast, as the region struggles to
cope with a rising tide of homelessness — say Aly and
other do-gooders are doing more harm than good. However
well-meaning, critics say, those who provide the homeless
with tents and tarps, showers and toilets, hot meals and pet
food, are enabling them to remain unsheltered.
And not coincidentally, they note, nuisances of home-
lessness like trash and unsanitary conditions fester and
aberrant behavior continues.

Cajon passed a measure that curtails feeding the homeless, REUTERS FILE PHOTO

closed and re-opened restrooms for those on Skid Row amid
similar controversies.
The issue is hotly debated across Orange County, a cluster
of suburbs and small cities known more for surf culture and
Disneyland than its legions of poor.
In the tony seaside enclave of Dana Point, neighbors fear
a nightly meal is drawing homeless to a popular state beach
where teens play beach volleyball and families picnic and
surf.
On the dusty riverbed 30 miles (48 kilometers) north, a
van furnished with shower stalls parks alongside the home-
less encampment; those living in the string of tattered
tents add their names to a list of dozens waiting to bathe.
While the mobile unit aims to help those living on the
trash-strewn strip, neighbors worry the 2-mile-long (3-
kilometer-long) encampment is becoming more entrenched
in an area where they once jogged and biked.
“If the ultimate goal is to get them under a roof, why on
Earth are you giving all the advantages you would have
under a roof on the riverbed?” asked Shaun Dove, a 46-year-
old soon-to-be retired policeman from Anaheim, who lives
less than a mile from the riverbed in a palm-tree lined
neighborhood of three-bedroom homes.
“There’s no doubt that giving them stuff there prevents
them from a desire to move.”
The number of homeless living in Orange County has
climbed 8 percent over the last two years. In the United Returning to Millbrae!
States, homelessness rose slightly in the last year to near-
ly 554,000, pushed up largely by increases on the West
Coast, federal data shows. The increase is driven by soaring
housing costs, though a drug addiction crisis and need for Senior Showcase

mental health services are also factors.
Advocates say the homeless population has become more
visible as police have cracked down on rules barring camp-
ing, driving people from parks and bus benches to a few
centralized locations, such as the flood control channel
along the Santa Ana River in Anaheim.

In a milestone year, gene therapy finds a place in medicine
What’s been achieved and what lies ahead
A STRING OF FIRSTS
The year started with no gene therapies sold in the U.S. and
only a couple elsewhere. Then the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration approved the first CAR-T cell therapies, which alter a
patient’s own blood cells to turn them into specialized cancer
killers . They’re only for certain types of leukemia and lym-
phoma now, but more are in the works for other blood cancers.
Last week, the FDA approved Luxturna, the first gene therapy
for an inherited disease, a form of blindness. People with it can’t
make a protein needed by the retina, tissue at the back of the
eye that converts light into signals to the brain, enabling sight.
The therapy injects a modified virus containing a corrective
gene into the retina so the cells can make the protein.
Children who received the treatment told what it was like to
gain vision.
“Oh yikes, colors. Colors are super fun,” said 13-year-old Caro-
line Carper of Little Rock, Arkansas. “And the sunshine is
blinding.”
Gene therapies also showed some promise against a variety of
diseases including hemophilia , a blood clotting problem;“bub-
ble boy” disease, where a flawed immune system leaves
patients vulnerable to fatal infections, and sickle cell disease, a
serious and painful blood disorder common among black peo-
ple.
It’s not all good news, though. The therapies don’t work for
everyone. They’re shockingly expensive. And no one knows
how long some results will last, though scientists say the aim
is a one-time repair that gets at the root cause.
“The whole promise ... is to cure diseases. It’s based on the ra-
tionale of fixing the problem,” not just improving treatment,
said Dr. Carl June, a University of Pennsylvania scientist who
pioneered CAR-T therapy.
Democrat Jones officially
declared winner over Roy Moore
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Democrat Doug
Jones’ historic victory over Republican
Roy Moore was declared
official Thursday as
Alabama election offi-
cials certified him the
winner of the special
Senate election, despite
Moore’s last-minute law-
suit claiming voter fraud.
Jones defeated Moore
Doug Jones on Dec. 12 by 21,924
votes in a stunning vic-
tory in a traditionally red state, becoming
the first Alabama Democrat elected to the
Senate victory in a quarter-century. The win
came after Moore, best known for stands
against gay marriage and the public display
of the Ten Commandments, was dogged by
accusations of sexual misconduct involving
teenage girls that occurred decades ago.
Jones said in a statement that he looked
forward to going to work for the people of
Alabama in the new year.

marks a new chapter for our state and the

A NEW FRONTIER: GENE EDITING
In mid-November, Brian Madeux, a 44-year-old Phoenix man
with a metabolic disease called Hunter syndrome, had just be-
come the first person to try an experimental gene editing
treatment.
“I believe in science,” he texted the Associated Press after doc-
tors sent viruses containing a corrective gene and an editing
tool through an IV into his body.The hope is that the gene and
the editing tool would enter some of his liver cells and insert
the instructions needed to start making an enzyme he lacks.
It’s not known yet if it worked. Sangamo Therapeutics is test-
ing its therapy in several studies, and independent monitors will
help decide when results are released.
“It’s a pretty exciting milestone,” Collins said, because it shows
a way to treat more diseases than ones that can be addressed
now by altering blood cells in the lab or injecting genes into
the eye.
“You can imagine having a scalable approach to thousands of
genetic diseases,” he said.
WHAT’S NEXT
Top of Collins’ list: muscular dystrophy and sickle cell.
There’s been so much progress that the NIH has modified an
oversight panel that just a few years ago reviewed every gene
therapy experiment in the U.S. Most are considered safe
enough to go ahead without the Recombinant DNA Advisory
Committee’s review. The panel hasn’t even met for a year.
When the panel was formed decades ago,“there was a lot of
concern that a graduate student could take some of this home
and create a monster in his basement,” said one panel mem-
ber, Boston scientist Dr. Howard Kaufman.
Those fears have eased, he said.
“There’s no monsters that have materialized from this.”

Trump lashes out at
Vanity Fair over Clinton video
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President
Donald Trump is lashing out at Vanity Fair,
after the magazine said an online video
mocking Hillary Clinton “missed the
mark.”
On Twitter on Thursday, Trump said the
magazine was “bending over backwards in
apologizing for the minor hit.”
The video posted over the weekend shows
editors of Vanity Fair’s Hive website offer-
ing toasts and New Year’s resolutions for
Clinton, including that she vow to take up
knitting, volunteer work or any hobby that
would keep her from running again for pres-
ident.
The backlash was swift. Among those to
respond was actress Patricia Arquette, who
tweeted her own proposal — stop telling
women what they should or can do.
In a statement Wednesday, the magazine
said the video was an attempt at humor that
regrettably “missed the mark.”

After decades of hope and high promise,
this was the year scientists really showed
they could doctor DNA to successfully
treat diseases. Gene therapies to treat can-
cer and even pull off the biblical-sounding
feat of helping the blind to see were
approved by U.S. regulators, establishing
gene manipulation as a new mode of medi-
cine.
Almost 20 years ago, a teen’s death in a
gene experiment put a chill on what had
been a field full of outsized expectations.
Now, a series of jaw-dropping successes
have renewed hopes that some one-time
fixes of DNA, the chemical code that gov-
erns life, might turn out to be cures.
“I am totally willing to use the ‘C’

toms that result from the genetic flaw.
The advent of gene editing — a more
precise and long-lasting way to do gene
therapy — may expand the number and
types of diseases that can be treated.
In November, California scientists tried
editing a gene inside someone’s body for
the first time , using a tool called zinc fin-
ger nucleases for a man with a metabolic
disease. It’s like a cut-and-paste operation
to place a new gene in a specific spot.
Tests of another editing tool called
CRISPR, to genetically alter human cells
in the lab, may start next year.
“There are a few times in our lives when
science astonishes us. This is one of those
times,” Dr. Matthew Porteus, a Stanford
University gene editing expert, told a
Senate panel discussing this technology
last month.
It’s a common path for trail-blazing sci-
ence — success initially seems within
reach, setbacks send researchers back to
the lab, new understandings emerge over
years, and studies ultimately reveal what
is safe and effective.

People bundle up against the cold temperature as they walk in Times Square in Manhattan, New York.
Rising energy costs eyed amid
brutal cold snap gripping U.S.
By David Sharp
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine — Plunging
temperatures across half the country
on Thursday underscored a stark reality
for low-income Americans who rely on
heating aid: Their dollars aren’t going
to go as far this winter because of ris-
ing energy costs.
Forecasters warned people to be
wary of hypothermia and frostbite
from an arctic blast that’s gripping a
large swath from the Midwest to the
Northeast, where the temperature,
without the wind chill factored in,
dipped to minus 32 (minus 35 Celsius)
on Thursday morning in Watertown,
New York.
Even before the cold snap, the
Department of Energy projected that
heating costs were going to track
upward this winter, and many people
are keeping a wary eye on their fuel
tanks to ensure they don’t run out.

The burden caused by higher prices
and higher energy usage is felt by all
Americans, especially those who
struggle to stay warm.
Elizabeth Parker, 88, of Sanford,
Maine, said she lives in fear of running
out of heating fuel and remains vigi-
lant in monitoring the gauge outside
her trailer. She said she is allowed to
request a fuel delivery thanks to federal
aid, but only when her gauge dips to
one-eighth of a tank.
“I couldn’t get along without it,”
said Parker, who lives with her 93-
year-old husband, Robert Parker,
along with a cat, a dog and four birds.
Prolonged, dangerous cold weather
this week has sent advocates for the
homeless scrambling to get people off
the streets and to bring in extra beds
for them. Warming centers also were
set up in some locations. Frozen pipes
and dead car batteries added to the mis-
ery across the region.

Charity donations
likely to drop next
year due to tax law
By Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In this season of giving, charity seems
to be getting an extra jolt because next year the popular tax
deduction for donations will lose a lot of its punch.
Traditionally generous Americans may have less incentive
to give to charitable causes next year because of the newly
minted tax law. The changes that will make it less advanta-
geous for many people to donate to charity in 2018 may be
sparking a year-end stream of fattened contributions in
anticipation, charity executives and experts say.
Starting next year, the millions of relatively small dona-
tions from moderate-income people to mainstream charities
could be sharply reduced, they say. That means charity could
become less of a middle-class enterprise and a more exclu-
sive domain of the wealthy, who tend to give to arts and cul-
tural institutions, research facilities and universities. Their
use of the charitable tax deduction is less likely to be affect-
ed by the new law.
The sweeping Republican tax overhaul, delivered by the
GOP-dominated Congress and signed into law by President
Donald Trump, doesn’t eliminate or even reduce the deduc-
tion for donations to charitable, religious and other non-
profit organizations. Charitable giving should be encour-
aged with a tax incentive, congressional Republicans craft-
ing the plan said early on, and the cherished deduction —
though costing some $41.5 billion a year in lost federal rev-
enue — wasn’t struck even as other longstanding deductions
fell or were scaled back.
But it might as well have been, charity experts and advo-
cates say.
A central pillar of the massive tax law doubles the standard
deduction used by two-thirds of Americans, to $12,000 for
individuals and $24,000 for married couples. That means
many taxpayers who now itemize deductions will find it’s no
longer beneficial for them do so. They’ll find that the deduc-
tions they normally take, including for charitable giving,
don’t add up to as much as the new standard amount.
The result: some estimates project that as few as 10 per-
cent of taxpayers will continue to itemize deductions on
their returns, down from the current one-third.
By contrast, the wealthiest Americans likely will contin-
ue to receive the tax benefit of using itemized deductions,
including for charitable giving.
Especially for people who currently itemize and donate
small to moderate amounts to charities, the tax incentive to
give diminishes. And with the new law kicking in Jan. 1,
they may want to max out their donations before year’s end,
rolling next year’s giving back into 2017.
“I think we’ll have some increased donations” this year,
says Steve Taylor, senior vice president and counsel for pub-
lic policy at the United Way. Already, United Way, one of the
biggest U.S. charities, has seen some “doubling up” by
large donors from what they would normally have been
expected to give this year, Taylor said in an interview.

Putin says St. Petersburg
explosion was terror attack
MOSCOW — The explosion at a supermarket in Russia’s
second-largest city was a terror attack, President Vladimir
Putin said Thursday, adding that he has
ordered security agencies to kill terror
suspects on the spot if they resist arrest.
Officials said 13 people were injured
Wednesday when an improvised explo-
sive device went off at a storage area for
customers’ bags at the supermarket in St.
Petersburg. Investigators said the device
contained 200 grams (7 ounces) of
explosives and was rigged with shrapnel
Vladimir Putin to cause more damage.
While Russian law enforcement agen-
cies stopped short of immediately describing the blast as a
terror attack, Putin did not mince words Thursday at a
Kremlin awards ceremony for Russian troops who fought in
Syria.
“You know that yesterday a terror attack was conducted in
St. Petersburg,” Putin said. He went on to note that another
attack was thwarted recently, a reference to an alleged series
of bombings in St. Petersburg that a CIA tip helped pre-
vent, according to the Kremlin.
Putin said he told the chief of Russia’s main domestic REUTERS FILE PHOTO
security agency, the FSB, that agents who encounter resist- John Wider holds up a sign reading‘Welcome Refugees’at the international arrivals terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.
ance from terror suspects should “liquidate bandits on the

Government seeking change to

spot.”
No one has claimed responsibility for the supermarket
bomb. Eight of the injured remained hospitalized.
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, would not offer any
specifics on what led Putin to declare the attack an act of ter-
rorism. The shrapnel that was part of the explosive device
proved the explosion “was a terror attack anyway.”
Failed space launches
haunt Russia; Kremlin eyes probe
MOSCOW — Russia’s latest space launch failures have
prompted authorities to take a closer look into the nation’s
struggling space industry, the Kremlin said Thursday.
A Russian weather satellite and nearly 20 micro-satellites
from other nations were lost following a failed launch from
Russia’s new cosmodrome in the Far East on Nov. 28. And
in another blow to the Russian space industry, communica-
tions with a Russian-built communications satellite for
Angola, the African nation’s first space vehicle, were lost
following its launch on Tuesday.
Asked about the failures, President Vladimir Putin’s
spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Thursday that authorities
warrant a thorough analysis of the situation in the space
industry.
Amid the failures, Russian officials have engaged in a
round of finger-pointing.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees
Russia’s military industrial complex and space industries,
said in a television interview Wednesday that the Nov. 28
launch from the new Vostochny launch pad in Russia’s Far
East failed because the rocket had been programmed to
blastoff from the Russia-leased Baikonur launch pad in
Kazakhstan instead of Vostochny. He accused the Russian
space agency Roscosmos of “systemic management mis-
takes.”
Roscosmos fired back Thursday, dismissing Rogozin’s
claim of the flawed programming.
order lifting Trump refugee ban
By Martha Bellisle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Lawyers with the
Department of Justice have asked a fed-
eral judge to change his order that par-
tially lifted a Trump administration
refugee ban.
Just before Christmas, U.S. District
Judge James Robart in Seattle imposed
a nationwide injunction that blocks
restrictions on reuniting refugee fami-
lies and partially lifted a ban on
refugees from 11 mostly Muslim coun-
tries. Robart limited that part of the
injunction to refugees who have a bona
fide relationship with people or entities
in the United States. He also said that
refugees who have formal agreements
with refugee resettlement agencies were
covered under his order.
The government does not want to
include resettlement agencies.
Government lawyers filed a motion
Wednesday saying that although the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has
interpreted the “bona fide relationship”
to include connections to resettlement
agencies, the U.S. Supreme Court has
stayed that ruling. That means the high-
est court indicates it disagrees with the
appeals court on that point, the lawyers
say.
Attorneys for refugee support organi-
zation HIAS and Jewish Family Service
say the government’s claims are wrong.
“The Supreme Court was clear in its
earlier order protecting refugees with
bona fide relationships to the US from
the last temporary refugee ban,” Mark
Hetfield, president and CEO of New
York-based HIAS, said Thursday. “Yet
in its latest ban, the Trump administra-
tion not only ignored this admonition,
but went even further to explicitly pre-
vent refugees in the U.S. from reunit-
ing with their spouse or minor chil-
dren.”
The refugee organizations and the
American Civil Liberties Union filed
two lawsuits, consolidated into one,
challenging the Trump administration’s
refugee ban.
The ACLU represents a Somali man
who has spent years trying to bring his
wife and children to his home in
Washington state.
Jewish Family Service challenged the
administration’s prohibition of
refugees from certain countries until the
vetting process could be reviewed.
Department of Justice lawyers argued
in a hearing last week that the ban was
a temporary and reasonable way for
agencies to deal with gaps in the
screening process.
But ACLU and Jewish Family Service
lawyers said the government violated
federal law when it implemented the
ban. Robart agreed, and also said the
refugee ban violated the Immigration
and Nationality Act passed by
Congress.
Mariko Hirose, a lawyer on the
Jewish Family Service case and litiga-
tion director for International Refugee
Assistance Project, said the Trump
administration has attacked refugee
resettlement since the first travel ban,
leaving vulnerable refugees in limbo.
The plaintiffs include two Iraqi men
who served as interpreters for the U.S.
Army and are said to be in “extreme dan-
ger” because of their work. Other plain-
tiffs include an Iraqi woman was kid-
napped, raped and threatened with death
for her work with an American company
and a transgender woman in Egypt faces
harassment and persecution. They all
were in the process of coming to the
U.S. when the executive order went into
effect.

The building boom
By Russ Cohen

n Burlingame, (and along the
entire Peninsula,) commercial
enterprises and multi-residen-

Typically, traffic and parking con-
cerns are discussed and local leaders
put policies in place to mitigate those
concerns and studies are done to
ensure there are no negative impacts.
However, one impact of rapid devel-
opment that almost never gets
addressed is the literal booming,
banging, buzzing and blasting of said
progress.
The source of the pile driving that
begins each day at the crack of 8 a.m.
and continues, like water torture, all
day, every day until 6 p.m. emanates
from the 767,000-square-foot
Burlingame Point, a massive project
on the former drive-in movie site that
has been in some form of develop-
ment for years. The project, according
to its project manager, requires at
least 2,000 piles to be driven. Why
did no one associated with this proj-
ect over the course of all those years
anticipate the disruption this could
cause on residents just across from the
project’s location and nearby hotels
and businesses like Virgin America

Really? Nine-hundred-and-thirty-five

residents have been saying no to more
high-density development since the
open space at Bay Meadows was
destroyed by housing.
Here is what the city does — first it
changes zoning, which goes unno-
ticed. Then they approve hundreds of
new homes and say it is zoned for
homes. The City Council then has
“outreach” to surrounding neighbor-
hoods to solicit feedback. Once the
city and developer receive the feed-
back, they go ahead with the project
anyway. Proof —Bay Meadows. The
surrounding neighbors said no, but
the City Council had already made the
decision long before any “outreach”
occurred.
The City Council and developers

the continuing demolition of two-

well after the Burlingame Point proj-

I am not here to debate the merits of
the current building boom.
Burlingame’s general plan allows
and bus to Home Depot, and return to
my condo with a load of plants, pots
and two sacks of dirt? Where is that
scenario in their grand plans?
The most ridiculous statement in the
Dec. 19 Daily Journal article “Major
mixed-used housing proposed for San
Mateo” came from California Coastal
Properties partner Brian Myers who,
according to the article, “suggested ...
the housing proposal has the poten-
tial to reduce traffic.” Is he serious or
delusional? How can 935 housing
units times two people per unit, 1,870
people and all their cars reduce traffic?
Especially compared to the current
zero people living there.
Adding more housing will only con-
tinue to deteriorate our quality of life,
not solve the traffic problem. High-
density building must stop.

debate the merits of the general plan
either. When development happens in
an aggressive and rapid pace in a con-
centrated area it becomes problemat-
ic.
My hope is that the noise from our
booming economy becomes an issue
that gets the same devoted attention
in the environmental review process
that other impacts of development get
today.
My hope is that our elected offi-
cials, (who live primarily on the west
side of town, away from the daily
“grind,”) understand the burden on
those who live on the east side of
town.
I simply suggest we get ahead of the
curve and address the noise issue now
before we are tortured by it over and
over again.

at the end result of his Republican tax
plan with the unerring direction of the
redistribution of the nation’s wealth
toward the upper reaches of the
income ladder, then the outcome is
obvious.
In reality, we have crony socialism

look at the continued subsidies for the

Is marijuana safe?
Los Angeles Times
I
n advance of the legalization of recreational mari-
juana sales on Jan. 1, there have been lots of
debates over the details of the cannabis business.
How many feet should pot shops be from schools or
daycare centers? How many acres may a marijuana farmer
cultivate? Who should be eligible for a license to sell
and who shouldn’t?
But there’s been much less discussion over an equally
important question raised by the end of prohibition in
California: What is the right public health message to
send to adults who can now legally buy and use marijua-
na? Voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64 last
year and polls continue to show broad support for legal-
ization. But just because marijuana is legal doesn’t mean
it is risk-free.
With just days to go, public health agencies are
scrambling to put together education campaigns before
Jan. 1. But experts in the field say they face a big prob-
lem: There simply isn’t enough research into the impact
of adult marijuana use to offer a lot of proven and practi-
cal health guidance.
Earlier this year the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine released the first comprehen-
sive look at marijuana research in nearly two decades. A
panel of experts analyzed more than 10,000 studies
related to marijuana usage and cancer, mental health,
accidents and a host of other health issues.
The report found some compelling evidence of risks,
as well as some medicinal benefits. Long-term cannabis
smokers were more likely to have respiratory problems.
There was substantial evidence of a link between fre-
quent marijuana use and the development of schizophre-
nia. Women who smoked pot while pregnant were more
likely to have babies with lower birth weights. On the
other hand, the drug was found to be effective in reduc-
ing chronic pain.
Nevertheless, despite those findings, the overwhelm-
ing conclusion of the report was that the effects of mari-
juana use are still largely a mystery and that the lack of
evidence-based information poses a public health risk.
The problem is that marijuana is still illegal under fed-
eral law and is classified as a Schedule 1 drug with no
medicinal value and a high potential for abuse. The fed-
eral government has strict limits on studies involving
the drug, which makes it hard for researchers to get fund-
ing or to get access to the quantity and quality of
cannabis needed for in-depth analysis. The result is that
there is little conclusive evidence on marijuana’s effects
— good or bad.
But as more and more states legalize medicinal and
recreational use for adults, the lack of conclusive sci-
ence leaves public health officials and regulators in a
bind. They have a mandate to set limits on marijuana in
order to protect the public and to provide accurate and
unbiased information so that adults can make informed
choices. But they can’t do their jobs well without more
research.
For example, the National Academies report concluded
there is “substantial evidence” that using marijuana
before driving increases the risk of being involved in a
crash. But there has been little research into what — if
any — amount of marijuana use is considered safe for
driving. Or how long a person should wait to drive after
consuming cannabis. (The lack of research in this area
is also a problem for law enforcement; there is not yet a
reliable way to measure cannabis intoxication.)
There hasn’t been much research into the impact of
the many new, highly concentrated cannabis products or
into how different cannabis products — from edibles to
lotions, balms and oils — affect different people. That
increases risk to users. (Most cities and states that have
allowed adult use of marijuana have seen an increase in
emergency room visits for poisoning associated with
edibles.) Nor has there been adequate study into what
kinds of messages resonate with young people and
adults, which makes it harder to design an effective
health education campaign.
The federal government’s restrictions on marijuana
research serve no one — not the advocates of legaliza-
tion, nor its opponents. More than 40 states have legal-
ized some form of cannabis for medical or recreational
use, despite the lack of evidence-based information on
its effects. Surely even the Trump Administration —
which has been no friend to science — can see the value
in having more research on the health impacts of mari-
juana. It should remove the drug from Schedule 1 desig-
nation. If it won’t act, Congress ought to take steps to
allow more marijuana research.

Stocks close higher in light trading day

By Alex Veuga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. stock indexes wrung out a
modest gain during another quiet
session on Wall Street Thursday,
nudging the Dow Jones industrial
average to a new high ahead of the
final trading day of 2017.
Financial stocks accounted for
much of the market’s gains. The
sector benefited from rising bond
yields, which help banks because
it enables them to charge higher
interest rates on loans.
Some energy stocks got a boost
from natural gas prices, which
jumped nearly 7 percent as tem-
peratures dropped across much of
the U. S. Crude oil prices also
closed higher.
Consumer-goods makers lagged
the broad rally, which gave the
market its second higher finish in
a row. The stock market seldom
declines this time of year, noted
John Serrapere, director of
research at Arrow Funds.
“It’s a light, light, light calen-
dar,” Serrapere said. “Normally
between Christmas and New
Year’s you get a positive, muted
upslope in the markets.”

‘Obamacare’ sign-up tally dips slightly to 8.7M Apple apologizes for

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More than 8.7
million people signed up for cov-
erage next year under the Obama-
era health care law, the govern-
ment reported Thursday, as the
program that President Donald
Trump has repeatedly pronounced
“a disaster” exceeded expecta-
tions.
The final tally for the 39
HealthCare. gov states showed
about 80,000 fewer sign-ups than
an initial count provided last
week, before the Christmas holi-
day. A spokesman for the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid
Services said the slight dip was due
to late cancellations.
Still, HealthCare. gov enroll-
ment reached nearly 95 percent of
last year’s level, outperforming
projections in a show of consumer
demand, despite a shortened sign-
up season and big cuts in the ad
budget.
Ahead of open enrollment, ana-
lysts had predicted somewhere
around 1 million to 2 million
fewer people would sign up for
subsidized private coverage
through the Affordable Care Act.
But the latest numbers indicate
that new customers kept showing
up as the Dec. 15 enrollment dead-
line closed. More than 66,000
new customers were added since
the pre-Christmas enrollment
report.
The dip in enrollment appears to
be due to returning customers
dropping out. There were about
145,000 fewer of those since the
pre-Christmas report.
Some of those dropouts are like-
ly to be people whose current
plans were cancelled for next year,
and who were reassigned to cover-
age that they didn’t like.
A complete national tally may
not be available until March, as
states running their own health
insurance markets are continuing
to sign up consumers. In
California and New York, enroll-
ment season ends Jan. 31.
While Trump says he’ll still try
to repeal and replace “Obamacare,”
prospects in Congress appear dim
with Republicans losing a Senate
seat in Alabama.
secretly slowing older iPhones
SAN FRANCISCO — Apple apol-
ogized for secretly slowing down
older iPhones, a move it said was
necessary to avoid unexpected
shutdowns related to battery
fatigue.
Many customers had interpreted
the move as a way to for Apple to
juice demand for newer iPhone
models, their suspicions fueled by
the fact that the company didn’t
initially disclose the slowdowns or
its reasons for them.
Apple also said it will cut the
price of a battery replacement by
$50 to $29 through next year. New
batteries had previously cost $79
for those who didn’t purchase the
Apple Care maintenance plan.
“We apologize,” the company
said on its website. “We have never

Bay Area median home
price peaks at $787,000
SAN FRANCISCO — Home
prices in the San Francisco Bay
Area reached a new peak for the
third time this year.
The research firm CoreLogic says
the median sale price of a home in
the nine counties last month was
$787,000. Half the homes sold for
more and half for less.
The price was up 12.6 percent
from a year ago. In fact, year-over-
year hikes have hit double digits
for the past four months.

Few ready to pay to
rebuild Iraq after
Islamic State defeat
By Susannah George and Lori Hinnant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSUL, Iraq — For nearly 2 1/2 miles along the western

bank of the Tigris River, hardly a single building is intact.
The warren of narrow streets of Mosul’s Old City is a crum-
pled landscape of broken concrete and metal. Every acre is
weighed down by more than 3,000 tons of rubble, much of
it laced with explosives and unexploded ordnance.
It will take years to haul away the wreckage, and this is
just one corner of the destruction. The Iraqi military and
U.S.-led coalition succeeded in uprooting the Islamic State
group across the country, but the cost of victory is nearly
incalculable.
Three years of war devastated much of northern and west-
ern Iraq. Baghdad estimates $100 billion is needed nation-
wide to rebuild. Local leaders in Mosul, the biggest city
held by IS, say that amount is needed to rehabilitate their
city alone.

Israel passes law that critics Around the world

At least 15 dead in fire

say is meant to shield PM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel’s parliament
has passed legislation curbing a police
practice of recommending indictments
in high-profile cases before charges
are pressed.
The bill was pushed by Benjamin
Netanyahu’s party as he faces corrup-
tion allegations, and critics said it was
designed to shield the long-ruling
prime minister.
The so-called “recommendations
bill” passed early Thursday after days
of filibustering. It stops police from
recommending to prosecutors whether
to indict suspects upon completing
their investigations. It also aims to
stop leaks to the media from the inves-
tigations themselves. Much of the
details of police investigations of
Netanyahu that have been published
stem from such leaks.
Critics say the law muzzles police

upbeat about rookie Thomas
Pagano jumpstarted Raiders’ defense
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — John Pagano found out his
15-year tenure with the Chargers ended last
offseason on social media, when it was
reported that new coach Anthony Lynn
wanted to go a new direction for his defense.
The Oakland Raiders were the beneficiar-
ies of Pagano’s firing after five years as
coordinator.
The Raiders added Pagano to their staff in
the offseason as an assistant and he took
over as the play-caller late last month after
New scoring record?
Menlo’s 92 points
best in Paye’s 17
years as head coach
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the record book for the Menlo
School girls’ basketball program — as with
most high schools — admittedly incom-
plete, the Lady Knights’ 92 total points and
39-point outburst in the first quarter
Thursday night against KIPP King-San
Lorenzo are unlikely to be officially con-
firmed as new program records.
In his 17th year as Menlo’s head coach,
however, John Paye was fairly confident the
explosive opening quarter to be unmatched
in school history.
“I’m sure that’s the record at Menlo
School, for sure,” Paye said.
What is certain is the 2017-18 next-gen
Menlo girls (7-0 overall) are intent on not
slowing down. The Knights’ 92-38 win over
KIPP King (3-7) in the opening game of the
6th Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Classic —
the team’s seventh straight win to start the
year — is bona fide evidence.
After losing two key seniors from last
year’s Central Coast Section Division IV
semifinalist roster — including West Bay
Athletic League Foothill Division scoring
leader Sam Erisman — the Knights, as a
team, are averaging 15 points per game
more than did last year’s squad.
“We have a very upbeat team,” Menlo sen-
ior Erin Dunn said. “I think last year we had
some intensely skilled girls. But this year
we have a wide variety of skills and that’s
probably what’s going to take as far.”
Thursday’s 92-point effort is a new “mod-
ern day” record, standing as the most points
Menlo has scored in a single game since at
least the 2004-05 season. And in doing so,
the Knights got all their players involved in
the offense. Each of the starting five scored
in double figures, paced by a game-high 19

Wyoming rancher has big impact on Olympic skiing

PINEDALE, Wyo. — The rancher from

Twins player accused of assaulting photog

By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — A photographer who
has covered the Minnesota Twins accused
Miguel Sano of assault, posting on Twitter
that the All-Star third baseman forcibly
attempted to kiss her following an auto-
graph session at a mall in 2015.
Betsy Bissen tweeted Thursday that she
screamed and resisted Sano until he gave up
“after a solid 10 minutes of fighting.”
Bissen, who has worked for publications
including the popular fan blog Twins Daily
, said in her tweet that she long feared that
telling her story would cost her access to
photograph Twins games.
Sano said he “unequivocally” denies the
allegation.
“It never happened. I have the utmost
respect for women, especially those work-
ing in professional sports, and I deeply
sympathize with anyone who has experi-
enced sexual harassment. There is no place
for it in our society,” Sano said in a state-
ment issued by his
agent, Kyle Thousand.
Major League Baseball
has begun an investiga-
tion, said MLB
spokesman Pat
Courtney. The Twins said
they learned of the alle-
gation only Thursday.
Miguel Sano Their statement said the
team and MLB “take
these allegations very seriously” but had no
further comment.
In 2015, MLB and its players union
unveiled a new policy covering domestic
violence, sexual assault and child abuse .
Commissioner Rob Manfred has the power
to levy discipline, with no minimum or
maximum penalty, following an investiga-
tion.
Bissen didn’t respond to an interview
request from the Associated Press. She told
her story on her Twitter account, writing
that Sano was participating in an autograph
signing at a store while she worked as a vol-
unteer and photographed him interacting
with fans during the event.
Bissen said Sano remarked that he had
noticed her during games. She said he tried
to flirt with her and, after the signing,
grabbed her wrist and “made me go with” a
small group that included Sano’s previous
agent, Rob Plummer, to another store. She
said she complied only to avoid causing a
scene.
As the group left the mall about a half
hour later, Bissen wrote, Sano said he need-
ed to use the restroom. She pointed him to
the door, and she said Sano “took that as a
signal that I wanted him to grab me and try
to take me back through that door.” She said
she pulled back as he held on.
“It hurt, how badly he was grasping at my
wrist, but he wouldn’t let go. I wasn’t going
to give up my fight though. He then leaned
down and tried to kiss me, more than once.
Every time he did, I said no and kept pulling
back,” Bissen wrote.
Plummer, who was fired by Sano two years
ago, told ESPN that he didn’t witness the
alleged assault.
“I was outside next to the car, waiting for
him to come out on the other side of the
loading bay dock, so I don’t know what hap-
pened inside,” Plummer told the network.
Bissen, who shared her tweet with the
(hash)metoo hashtag, said in a follow-up
post that she wanted to “feel free of this bur-
den I’ve carried with me since 2015.”
Sano is listed by the Twins at 6-foot-4 and
260 pounds, though he’s often played at a
weight much heavier than that. Sano made
the American League All-Star team in 2017,
his third major league season. He batted
.264 with 28 homers and 77 RBIs, despite
missing the last six weeks of the season.
“Every time I have to hear about how great
people think Miguel Sano is, I’m reminded
of how awful he actually is and how he hurt
me,” Bissen wrote.
Twins pitcher Trevor May tweeted “I’m
sorry, Betsy,” in reply to Bissen’s post.
Former Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe
also chimed in on Twitter with sympathy:
“I’m so sorry about this. I understand why
you didn’t, but I wish you would have come
to me.”

TORONTO — The Canadian Football

fined $6K for Christmas cleats
METAIRIE, La. — Saints rookie running
back Alvin Kamara says the NFL has fined
him $6,079 for wearing Christmas-themed
red cleats with white trim during last
Sunday’s victory over Atlanta.
Kamara says it was worth it and says he’s
hoping to parlay publicity from his banned
holiday cleats into a fundraiser to help sup-
ply athletic footwear to children whose fam-
ilies struggle to afford it.
Many players, including Falcons star
receiver Julio Jones wore holiday-themed
cleats during pregame warmups last Sunday,
which was Christmas Eve.
But most players switched back to regular
NFL-compliant footwear designs matching
their uniforms before kickoff.

USA-Canada hockey rivalry going outdoors
By John Wawrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Whether it’s
indoors or now outdoors, Canada coach
Dominique Ducharme doesn’t expect the bit-
ter elements to chill the cross-border hock-
ey rivalry his nation has developed against
the United States.
“We’re rivals. It’s always been tight
games. And we expect a tight game tomor-
row, ” Ducharme said Thursday, after
Canada’s junior team held a brief practice on
the temporary rink built on the turf of the
NFL Buffalo Bills’ home, New Era Field.
“Yes, it’s going to be played outdoors. But
once it starts, game on.”
Bundle up, because Canada and the United
States are taking their differences outside on
Friday, when the teams meet in the prelimi-
nary round of the 10-nation world junior
hockey championship. It will be the first
international game played outdoors and is
expected to draw more than 40,000 fans,
which would set an International Ice Hockey
Federation attendance record.
It’s also expected to be cold, with temper-
atures forecast to range between 15 and 20
degrees Fahrenheit (-9 to -6 Celsius) once
the puck drops at 3 p.m. Eastern.
Canada is 2-0 after beating Finland and
Slovakia. The U.S. opened the tournament
with a 9-0 win over Denmark on Tuesday,
and faced Slovakia on Thursday. The winner

ing, and would be expected to get an easier

ward Mallory North added 16 points, senior
guard Mohini Gupta 14 points, and sopho-
more guard Ally Stuart 12. Sixth-man,
freshman Coco Layton, drilled three 3-
pointers and added 11 points.
“It really didn’t take long to adjust,” Lee said
of resetting the starting five at the start of the
season, “because everyone was making contri-
butions. That was really a high and that’s
going to be a sign of good things to come.”

under a bright, blue sky on Thursday.

Carter Hart said, recalling the many times
he spent skating on a large outdoor rink in
the backyard of Canada teammate Sam

Menlo shot 46.6 percent from the field, includ-
ing 45 percent (9 of 20) on 3-pointers. Even
more pronounced is Menlo’s patented pressure
defense, which forced 29 turnovers by KIPP
King, including 14 in the first quarter.
“Definitely running the court, that’s one of
our strengths,” Lee said. “Getting everyone
involved, that really helps.”
While Lee had two of her game-high four
steals in the first quarter, her time to shine
undoubtedly came in the third quarter when
the freshman scored seven points on one
Menlo possession.
Three minutes into the second half, Lee drew
a foul on the way to the hoop. Then, before
she shot her free throws, KIPP King head
coach Cameron Creese was called for a techni-
cal foul. Lee converted both her free throws,
then put down two more for the technical. And

offensive rebound, burying a 3 to seal the
seven-point possession.
“It was awesome,” Lee said.
KIPP King was paced by sophomore guard
Ogenna Udemezue’s 14 points. The guard did
all her damage through the first three quarters
before departing early in the fourth with a leg
cramp.

“Honestly, I’m not too worried about that
right now,” Hart said. “It’s over and done
with.”
Though Canada holds a 33-10-3 edge over
the United States at the world junior tourna-
ment, the Americans have been on a run of
late. The U.S. has won the past three meet-
ings, and split the past 10 games since a 6-
5 overtime win over Canada in the 2010
championship game.
Tournament organizers gave the final go-
ahead to have the game played outdoors dur-
ing a brief meeting Thursday after concerns
were raised over the dropping temperatures.
Of the NHL’s 26 regular-season games
played outdoors, five have been played with
temperatures below 20 degrees. That
includes this year’s NHL 100 Classic in
Ottawa, when the game-time temperature
was measured at 12.5 degrees (-10 Celsius).
The coldest was the NHL’s first outdoor
game at Edmonton’s Commonwealth
Stadium in 2003, when the temperature was
0 degrees (-18).
The Bills stadium was the site of the
NHL’s first Winter Classic in 2008, when
the Buffalo Sabres played Pittsburgh with a
light snow falling and a game-time temper-
ature of 33 degrees (0.5).
Canadian forward Dillon Dube said the
uneven ice conditions will force both teams
to play a simpler style by placing an
emphasis on short passes and offenses
chipping the puck into the opponent’s end.
“It’s going to be a meat and potatoes
game. That’s going to be the fun part about
it: old-time hockey,” Dube said. “But defi-
nitely, this game being outdoors is going to
be just crazy.”
The Competitive Bracket No. 1 is the mid-
dle tier of the tourney’s three-bracket format.
The Elite Division features four teams,
Central-Fresno, Page-Arizona, Whitney
Young-Illinois and host Eastside College
Prep. Competitive Bracket No. 1 includes
Capuchino and M-A. Competitive Bracket
No. 2 includes Sacred Heart Prep and Aragon.
In two previous seasons, the Knights have
won the tourney’s Competitive Bracket No. 1 in
2015-16, then took runner-up in the same
bracket last season. In that time, Menlo has co-
hosted the event with Eastside College Prep, the
school that launched the tournament in 2012.
Paye has good representation for his bas-
ketball club Paye’s Place in the tournament.
Not only have most of his Menlo players fil-
tered through the club, three other schools in
the tourney’s 20-team field — Sacred Heart

each have Paye’s Place players on roster.

NFL brief
New York Giants hire
Dave Gettleman as GM
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants have
hired former Carolina Panthers executive Dave Gettleman as
their general manager.
The Giants (2-13) announced the hiring of the 66-year-old
Gettleman on Thursday and planned to introduce him at a
news conference Friday.
Gettleman has a history with the Giants. He spent 15 sea-
sons with the franchise before becoming Carolina’s general
manager from 2013-2016, a span in which the Panthers
played in the Super Bowl after the 2015 season. He was fired
after the following season when Carolina missed the play-
offs.
Gettleman will be the Giants’ fourth general manager
since 1979, following George Young, Ernie Accorsi and
Jerry Reese, who held the job for 11 seasons before he was
dismissed on Dec. 4 along with coach Ben McAdoo.
“Given where we are as a team, we thought it was impor-
tant to bring in someone with experience as a general man-
ager and a proven track record,” co-owners John Mara and
Steve Tisch said in a statement. “Dave’s experience is unpar-
alleled. He did an outstanding job as general manager in
Carolina, and he was vital to our success during his tenure
here. Dave is going to bring his own approach to our organ-
ization in how we draft and acquire players through free
agency.”

Thomas despite sack total
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Early in his rookie season, Solomon
Thomas felt the pressure of being the No. 3 overall pick,
knowing 49ers fans were expecting the defensive lineman to
post big numbers for a team needing to upgrade its pass rush.
But as Thomas’ first season winds down, with the 49ers’
finale coming Sunday against the Rams, he’s encouraged by
his development, even if he has just three
sacks.
“I just calmed down and focused on play-
ing football and having fun,” Thomas
said.
“And it’s just part of the process of
being a rookie, understanding the pressure
of the mental game. I’ve grown a lot, and
(I’m) just going to continue to grow into
the second year.”

being hired last February.
Thomas played in a 3-4 scheme up the road at Stanford,
where he lined up mainly on the inside as a defensive tackle.
With the 49ers, he has transitioned outside, where he’s
But Thomas had one of his best games last week in the vic-
tory over the Jaguars, which has the coaching staff encour-
aged as he heads into his first full offseason as a pro. Thomas
had six combined tackles and a shoestring sack of Blake
Bortles — while the defense limited the league’s top-ranked
rushing attack to just 92 yards and 3.3 yards per carry.
“He affected the game in the pass game and the run game, ran
to the ball real hard,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “Just like
most rookies, I think he’s been up and down throughout the
year. ... I think these last three weeks he’s gotten better each
week and put together his best game last week and hopefully
he finishes with his best game of the year this week.”
A knee injury in the middle of the season stalled Thomas’
development. He suffered it in the second half of the dreary 33-
10 loss to Philadelphia in Week 8. He missed the following
two games and had a bye to continue recovering.
“I hate to give him a loser’s lump or anything, but I think
he’s really starting to recover from that injury that he suffered
earlier in the year and we’re really starting to see what we saw
in the first half of the season,” Saleh said.
Having a full offseason in San Francisco’s system should
help Thomas improve heading into his second season. He
lamented about preparation for the draft last spring, where he
had to focus on agility drills rather than playing the game.

has used his players, most notably Sean Smith. Early in the
season, Smith struggled against speedy receivers but in
recent weeks he has been used almost exclusively against
big receivers where his size — he’s 6-foot-3 and 218 pounds
— is more effective.
He held Dez Bryant in check two weeks ago and shut out
Alshon Jeffery entirely last week. Smith ranks third in the
866-211-2443 league over the last four weeks, allowing only one catch for

Jack Del Rio said. “Pags has done a good job of getting
those guys on the same page and how we’re going to cover
certain groups. They’ve responded and done a nice job of
executing that on game day.”
The numbers in recent weeks have been boosted by the
quality of competition. Oakland took advantage of games
against backup quarterbacks Paxton Lynch of Denver, Geno
Smith of the Giants and Nick Foles of the Eagles. The
Raiders also didn’t have to deal with suspended running
back Ezekiel Elliott when they played the Cowboys.
But the defense struggled no matter who they played
against early in the season, getting picked apart by quarter-
backs like Jay Cutler, Joe Flacco and Tyrod Taylor, who
struggled against many other teams. The first 10 quarter-
backs Oakland faced had ratings about 25 points higher
against the Raiders than their season average.
“I’m a firm believer in this: There’s always guys who
think too much,” Pagano said. “You react. In football, you
react. If you’re thinking too long, you may think wrong. It
gives us the ability to play faster. How do you slow the

views them so often that his wife Cassy
recently had to increase their phone’s data
plan.
He likes to give off a gruff first impres-
sion — “I really don’t have time for all
these interviews,” he lamented — but, dur-
ing a leisurely tour of the properties he
oversees, it’s clear he’s something far
removed from acerbic.
He’s proud of every parcel of this land.
Here lies some of the most sought-after
alfalfa in the county. On the other side of a
dirt road bordered by badger holes, he shows
off his laser-leveled land that produces vari-
ous classes of hay. They’re meticulously
planned out so water doesn’t gather and ruin
the consistency of the crop. Across the two-
lane highway, reside his roughly 125 head
of Red Angus cattle.
On the horizon, the mountain range.
A man in demand
His life used to be a cycle: haying in the
summer and, when it turned colder, heading up
SPORTS
to Jackson Hole mountain resort so he could
coach and direct events the ski club produced.
Johnston’s family would follow him there —
until the three kids reached school age. He
eventually just pulled along a camper or
stayed at a cheap place for a few nights before
making the 80-mileish drive home.
Back then, Johnston was sometimes spot-
ted wearing a jacket with these words embroi-
dered on the back: “I’d Rather Be Haying.” He
honed his craft at Jackson Hole — becoming
a course-shaping artist who would water the
slopes in extremely cold temperatures to cre-
ate an icy surface that would hold up from the
first racer all the way to the last.
In 1998, the U.S. ski team contracted with
the local organizing committee for nationals.
As director of Alpine events with the ski club,
it was his show.
Stepping up
Johnston’s twists and turns were a hit,
along with his organizational skills. Soon
after, he became a technical adviser for the
U.S. team. He credits Tim “Swampy”
LaMarche, his predecessor and another course
guru, for teaching him the ins and outs of the
profession.
It’s all been trial by error, too.
Johnston was chief for the women’s speed
events at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics
and ran the show for the women’s side at the
2014 Sochi Games. He’s known for his
aggressive and durable snow, which is pre-
cisely the way racers like it. His preference is
making it with a snow gun instead of letting
Mother Nature do the work.
“Manmade can be super-fine particles so it’s
really dense,” explained Johnston, who left
for South Korea on Christmas Day. “The natu-
ral snow can be dry, fluffy — a real pain.”
He prepared the World Cup course for the
women in Killington, Vermont, last month
and lent a hand at the World Cup stop in
Beaver Creek, Colorado, which is one of the
racers’ favorite venues on the circuit.
“The course crew in Beaver Creek is proba-
bly the best in the world,” Svindal said. “We
always have perfect conditions.”
A lot on his plate
In South Korea, Johnston’s main tasks
include: Build and maintain the snow surface,
including the macro features such as jumps and
rolls, manage the snowcat operators and
installation of safety features. His aim is to
help Russi’s downhill design spring to life.
The men’s and women’s downhill tracks
vary only slightly, with the men starting at a
higher spot and diverging at one point

through a narrow gully before merging again.
Along the way, there will be four major jumps,
which have been modified since a test event
held at the site nearly two years ago. The
changes should provide smoother, safer land-
ings for the skiers who will be traveling
around 80 mph (128.7 kph).
“We have changed the landing zone of the
jumps,” Russi said. “(It) means that the jumps
will go longer this time. For sure, I will like
it. But I will be nervous as well.”
A lot of similarities
Quality speed courses and hay are his pride
and joy, and they have more in common than
you might think. Both take attention to
detail. Both depend on Mother Nature. Neither
can ever be perfect.
Not that he’ll ever stop trying.
“I get really fussy with every element,” said
Johnston, a former racer at Montana State and
Whitman College in Washington, where he
earned his degree in English literature. “The
guys that hay for me, my wife, it drives them
crazy. I’ve never put up a good hay bale,
because there’s always this wrong with it or
that wrong with it. Same with a course.
“But give me good weather and it will be a
good course,” he said.

“Best dentist I have ever been to! Caring and knows

what he is doing. Like everything about him.”

game winner. The Horned Frogs
defense sealed it with an intercep-
tion by Innis Gaines with 2:01

Hill finished with 314 yards
passing, a team-high 60 yards
rushing and caught a 27-yard TD
pass from White in his final game.
Love finished with the season
with 2, 118 yards rushing, the
school’s single-season record.
The Cardinal were doomed by
the big play just when they had a
chance to put the game away. After
pinning TCU deep, Hill connected
with Jalen Reagor on a 93-yard
touchdown pass early in the fourth
quarter. White, who earlier had a
costly fumble, then gave TCU its
first lead with his punt return
touchdown.

Love will have to decide his
future and whether that will mean
another year of school for the
biology major and aspiring pedia-

The trend has seen top players
leave early, but Love already

to play in his team’s bowl game as
he ponders his decision.

Shrimp paired with pineapple brings elegance and sweetness
By Melissa d’Arabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After all the cooking and shopping that
the holidays inspire us to do, I’m looking
forward to pulling out some easy recipes
that use pantry ingredients that I keep on
hand. One of my favorite items to keep in
the freezer is frozen shrimp.
I keep both cooked and uncooked ver-
sions. Raw shrimp cook up in minutes and
have more flavor, so I use them for pasta
dishes and easy sheet-pan suppers. But
cooked shrimp have their place on my
menu, too. I love how quickly they thaw for
salads and appetizers and other cold prepara-
tions.
The downside to pre-cooked shrimp is the
texture is a notch softer. My solution is to
buy the large shrimp and then cut it in half.
I know this may be counter-shrimp culture,

while pineapple balances out with both

some fat and flavor, and I highly recommend

Definition mission: A rhyming limerick for each English word
By Russ Bynum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One man’s joke has become his mission:
to give each word a rhyming definition.
Chris Strolin was teasing English buffs in
an online forum years ago when he said the
dictionary should be rewritten in the
singsong rhyme scheme of limericks. He
ended up embracing the absurd bravado of
his own wisecrack and decided to try it for
real.
He started with the word “a” —“It’s used
with a noun to convey/ A singular notion/
Like ‘a duck’ or ‘a potion”’ — and kept
going. More than 1,000 contributors have
joined him, off and on, over the years.
The Omnificent English Dictionary in
Limerick Form (or OEDILF for short) has
published more than 97,000 rhyming defi-

Jessica Chastain, one of the most intelli-
gent and watchable actresses in movies
today.
So far, so good. Chastain plays Molly
Bloom, who went from being an Olympic
skiing hopeful to spending years running
high-stakes, celebrity-studded poker games
in Los Angeles and New York, hosting
names like Tobey Maguire, Ben Affleck and
Leonardo DiCaprio, until it all came crash-
ing down when the Russian mob got
involved and the FBI showed up, arresting
her as part of an illegal gambling opera-
tion. She faced prison time but was ulti-
mately cleared of many charges and got off
with probation, a fine and community serv-
ice.
It’s an engrossing story on its own, but
Sorkin also chooses to portray Bloom as a
sort of feminist heroine, who triumphed

nitions since Strolin
started it in 2004. The
retired Air Force radio
operator from Belleville,
Illinois, says his project
is on track to publish its
100,000th limerick in
the coming year.
He hopes his grand-
Chris Strolin children — or perhaps
their kids — will finish
the job decades from now.
The online wisecrack that led to the
OEDILF’s origin was a teasing swipe Strolin
made at the venerable Oxford English
Dictionary, which defines 600,000 words
across 20 printed volumes. Strolin remarked
that the Oxford dictionary was good, but
needed improvement. His not-so-serious
solution: limericks.
over the victimizing whims of the men
around her — slimy (mostly) gamblers, an
abusive boss, violent mobsters, and even
her own father (an excellent Kevin
Costner), a hard-driving sports dad and also
a preachy psychologist. It’s a problematic
choice, because it feels like it’s denying
this obviously intelligent and capable pro-
tagonist the ability to make any of her own
choices and mistakes.
But back to the beginning. We begin with
a terrific sequence on the ski slopes.  A
young Bloom is on her way to a spot at the
Olympics but slips on an unfortunately
placed pine cone and crashes spectacularly.
Her ski career is over.
If you know Sorkin’s work, it won’t sur-
prise you to hear he doesn’t stick to a
chronological timeline in the film —
rather, he dips in and out of periods in
Bloom’s life. As in “The Social Network,”
he anchors the present tense in a law office,
for the legal discussions Bloom has with
her lawyer, Charlie Jaffey (a compelling
Idris Elba).
It also won’t surprise you to know that
Sorkin departs liberally from Bloom’s own
memoir to tell her story,
relying on what he says were
hundreds of hours of talking
to his subject about things
she never wrote about.
What we take from that

“The more I got to thinking about it, it
sounded like a good idea,” Strolin said. “The
limerick is probably the most reader friend-
ly of all types of poetry. It’s also one of the
easiest forms of poetry to write.”
Perhaps not so easy: Writing a limerick
that weaves a joke into an accurate explana-
tion of word’s meaning. Take contributor
Bill Middleton’s definition of “adult”:
“As a kid, I was wild and a clown.
As a teen, I would dash about town.
Now adult, I shall go
Very cautious and slow.
Goes to prove: what grows up must calm
down.”
The definitions run the gamut from the
unwieldy adjective “aequeosalinocal-
calinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolic” —
coined centuries ago to describe the spa
waters of Bath, England — to terms that did-
Molly is a survivor. The announcers wonder
if she will even be able to stand, but she
rises and walks off, a determined scowl on
her face.
We jump to 12 years later, with Molly
lying in bed and the FBI bursting in, guns
blazing. How did she get from the slopes to
the handcuffs? Now, back to several years
earlier: She’s postponed law school and is
soaking in the LA sun, working as a cock-
tail waitress, when a pompous patron
(Jeremy Strong) hires her. He’s a jerk, but
through him, she is introduced to the high-
stakes world of celebrity poker.
It’s a world lived in luxury clubs and hotel
suites, where the players can be movie stars
(Michael Cera, wonderful as a creepy young
actor, unnamed) and the buy-in can be tens
or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bloom’s uniform is a cleavage-baring
designer sheath and stilettos. But she’s no
eye candy: She’s smart as a whip, and learns
enough about the game — though she never
plays — to take it over when her boss stops
paying her.
It’s a dizzying ride, and a wordy one; if
Sorkin were being paid by the word, he’d
have the best deal in Hollywood. A constant
voiceover propels the action forward, with
zingers like Molly saying she was in a hole
so deep, “I could have gone fracking.”
Poker terms, too, fly fast, and it’s not easy
to keep up if you don’t know the game. But
it’s fun enough to watch Chastain’s Bloom
THE DAILY JOURNAL
n’t exist until recently.
When President Donald Trump created a
new word this year with a head-scratching
Twitter typo, four OEDILF writers churned
out limericks. “Inscrutably tweeted/ A word?
Uncompleted?/ The absurd so-called word
was covfefe.”
To break a huge job into manageable
chunks, Strolin has writers tackle the lan-
guage in alphabetical order. The online dic-
tionary currently stops in the Gs at “giz-
zard.”
That leaves nearly three-fourths of the
alphabet still undefined. Assuming the proj-
ect outlives him, Strolin estimates writers
following in his keystrokes will finish the
Zs around the year 2076.
“People have said, ‘I’ve got a great limer-
ick for vacuum cleaner,”’ Strolin said. “And I
tell them: Great! Give it to your grandkids.”
find her way, making things up she goes
along.
The supporting players are routinely
excellent: Cera, Chris Dowd, Brian D’Arcy
James, and best of all, a heartbreaking Bill
Camp, as a seasoned player who utterly
loses it during one nightmare evening of
poker.
Then the Russian mob comes in. In the
film’s most difficult scene, Bloom gets a
knock on her door and a mobster pushes his
way in and beats her, brutally. She eventual-
ly recovers, but it’s the involvement of the
mob that ends up exposing her and leading
to the end of her poker days, and her legal
odyssey.
Molly Bloom is also a literary name, and
there are plenty of references to literature —
specifically poetry, and also to “The
Crucible” — in this fast-moving script.
Despite some of Sorkin’s more debatable
choices, his writing and especially
Chastain’s charismatic presence make this
an enjoyable tumble down some very slip-
pery slopes.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
MARIANI
Continued from page 1
ed three years ago when another Eagle
Scout candidate teamed up with mem-
bers of a parish group to galvanize the
community’s support for veterans who
may not have a permanent shelter.
Though the community filled 25
backpacks in its first year, Mariani
said news about the project has spread
widely in subsequent years. Speaking
after six masses during the weekend of
Veterans Day in November, Mariani
and his troop were able to raise some
$8,000 needed to purchase the back-
packs, supplies and Safeway gift cards
he distributed to the VA Palo Alto
Health Care System and San Mateo
County’s Human Services Agency,
which provides resources for veterans,
in December.
While the project was Mariani’s
responsibility, he said the help of the
some 20 members of his troop kicked
into gear this year to put even more
backpacks together. Having helped
other Eagle Scout candidates on their
projects in the past, Mariani knew his
fellow scouts would pitch in, but was
still grateful for their support.
“They came to help me and I really
appreciate that,” he said.
Mariani’s mother, Claire Mariani,
acknowledged fitting the project into
her son’s busy schedule was nothing
short of a feat, but noted how compre-

tries and dishes are bound to please the
palette. Though she’s the mastermind
behind the wide-ranging menu, which
includes panini-style sandwiches,
quiche and soup, crafting each pastry
lining the shelves of her café’s display
is what has kept her on her toes all
these years.
“I love the precision,” she said.
“With pastries, it’s right or it’s
wrong.”
But after 24 years in the food indus-
try, the San Jose resident said she is
ready to hang up her apron, take some
time away from the countless hours
she has logged in the kitchen and sleep
until after 4 a.m. for a change. She
announced earlier this week the café’s
last day is Sunday, Dec. 31.
As Manukyan and her staff spread
word about the cafe’s closing with
their customers, she said they’ve seen
an outpouring of the support that’s
made their many hours worth it. And
factoring in the 150 to 300 people
Manukyan estimates walk through the
doors every day, that makes for a lot of
goodbyes.

hensive the project was as a learning
experience for Matthew Mariani and
his twin brothers, who are in eighth-
grade and also in the troop. She said
seeing a project through from start to
finish as well as learning how to cre-
ate a budget for it were among their
many takeaways.
“It’s just amazing to see what these
young men go through and what they
learn and what they’re capable of,” she
said.
Mariani said learning more about
how government agencies provide
services to specific populations of the
community, like veterans, was an eye-
opener for him. He added that officials
at the veterans hospital in Palo Alto
and within the county
emphasized the year-round need for
support for veterans, and said projects
like his could be a good way to bring
attention to their needs within the
“I’ve seen all these faces for years
and years and years, ” she said.
“They’ve made us a part of their
lifestyle.”
Between the families that stop by
every Saturday morning or the down-
town employees who line up for lunch,
Manukyan said one of the aspects of
owning the café she’s enjoyed most is
staying in touch with regular cus-
tomers. She said she’s opted not to
offer internet access so people could
enjoy each other’s company or read a
book or newspaper, which she said
many customers have come to expect.
For Marie and Gratien Etchebehere,
Pamplemousse has been a place where
they have not only made countless
memories with their children but could
also find authentic French croissants.
The French couple said they have met
others from France at the café, which
they frequented several times a week
when they worked in Redwood City
and still come to regularly for the soup
of the day and a smoked salmon sand-
wich.
“Whatever they have is very good,”
said Gratien Etchebehere. “I have my
chair here.”
A native of Montreal, Manukyan
said she named the restaurant after the
French word for grapefruit because

community.
For Hank Scherf, chair of the San
Mateo County Veterans Commission,
Matthew Mariani’s efforts could go a
long way to spreading the word about
the challenges some veterans face by
bringing his parish community and
fellow scouts into the project. Having
worked with Matthew Mariani to iden-
tify the supplies that would be most
useful, Scherf said the backpacks
could help not only homeless veter-
ans, but also those who may be seek-
ing county services for help with
other needs, including access to med-
ical or health services or help finding
a job.
“That brought a lot of visibility to
this need,” he said. “I think that that’s
a big positive for the veterans commu-
nity at large.”
San Mateo resident and U.S. Marine
Corps veteran George Smith said that
while the backpacks could help veter-
ans living in their cars or in encamp-
ments with essentials, they also send
a powerful message that the communi-
ty cares about them. Also a member of
the San Mateo County Veterans
Commission, Smith said the back-
packs could provide immediate relief
for veterans seeking longer-term
resources at the county office, and that
the notes of support included in the
backpacks by those who packed them
could change the lives of those who
receive them.
“It’s such a vital service to our vet-
erans,” he said. “It just gives them a
little self-respect.”
many enjoy saying it out loud. She
said when people learn she speaks
French, they often test out the French
words they know, which sparked her
thinking on the café’s name.
Though Manukyan plays many
roles, her mother Dorothy Canbazyan
and sister Tammy Fowler have pitched
in as well, watching the business grow
into the community one order at a
time. After working there for more
than five years, Fowler said she’s been
proud to see her sister’s dedication to
her customers in their praise and care
for the staff, noting Pamplemousse’s
ability to weather a variety of econom-
ic conditions and changes to the down-
town.
“Really she has become such a staple
in Redwood City, ” she said.
“Everything just kind of grew around
her.”
Both Fowler and Manukyan said
they would miss seeing the customers
they’ve gotten to know, making the
last days bittersweet. Though
Manukyan admitted the experience of
bringing the store to a close has been
surreal, she said she had nothing but
gratitude for those who have made the
journey with her.
“I don’t think of them as customers,
I think of them as friends,” she said.

GOP

government’s debt was averted, thanks to a
momentary rapprochement with top
Democrats, House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer. But a prom-
ised solution to the plight of young immi-
grants brought to the country illegally as
infants or children was delayed, while a rou-
tine reauthorization of a program providing
health care to 9 million low-income kids
stalled as well.
Often it seemed as if Trump were more
interested in picking fights on Twitter than
the nuts and bolts of legislating. A catchall
spending deal in May got relatively little
attention for what it accomplished, over-
shadowed by Trump’s threat to shut the gov-
ernment down if he didn’t get a better deal
the next time. But there was no next time —
and about $1.2 trillion in unfinished agency
budgets got punted into the new year.
Still, there was no shortage of drama this
year on Capitol Hill. Trump displayed a pen-
chant for picking fights with fellow
Republicans: Arizona’s two senators John
McCain and Jeff Flake; Tennessee’s Bob
Corker and Majority Leader Mitch
DOG
Continued from page 1
27, when the animal attacked his leg and
would not relent until he shot and killed it
with a handgun, said Zuno.
The man was taken to the hospital where
he received treatment for multiple wounds
from which he is expected to recover while
the dog’s remains were taken by representa-
tives from the Peninsula Humane Society.
The dog belonged to the shooter, according
to Zuno.
Subsequent tests of the dog’s collar
showed it has a history of attacks. A

McConnell of Kentucky. Onetime
Republican rivals such as Sens. Ted Cruz of
Texas and Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina came firmly into Trump’s fold —
even as Corker and Flake, both facing
potentially difficult primary races,
announced their retirements.
Several mass shootings around the coun-
try and the near-assassination of House GOP
Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana failed to
dislodge legislation on background checks
or so-called bump stocks, though Scalise
made an emotional return to the Capitol in
the fall. McCain was diagnosed with a dead-
ly form of brain cancer — and soon after
cast a decisive vote against the Senate’s
health care bill.
The nation’s debate on sexual misconduct
swept over the Capitol as well, forcing the
resignations of Rep. John Conyers, D-
Mich. and Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.
Several other lawmakers announced prema-
ture retirements and the somnolent Ethics
Committee launched a handful of investiga-
tions, too.
Retirements, often evidence that lawmak-
ers think a wave election may be looming,
came in bunches, with more likely after law-
makers spend time with their families over
the holidays. Democrats eyed the districts
of GOP Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of
Florida, Frank Lobiondo of New Jersey,
Humane Society spokesperson was not able
to offer any additional information on the
matter.
While the suspect is cooperating with the
Sheriff’s Office investigation, Zuno said
questions linger over the case.
“If he felt the dog was such a danger that
he had to carry a gun then why was it in pub-
lic where it could have attacked someone
else? That is a question they will address dur-
ing the investigation,” said Zuno.
Zuno added the shooter did not hold a con-
cealed weapon permit and likely committed
a crime by firing a handgun on the street,
located between Ralston Avenue and Harbor
Boulevard in an unincorporated portion of
Belmont, which is why it is being investi-
gated by county deputies.
Dave Trott of Michigan, and Charlie Dent of
Pennsylvania as potential pickups.
Then there was the Alabama special elec-
tion to fill the seat of Attorney General Jeff
Sessions.
Establishment Republicans such as
McConnell swung forcefully behind
appointed Sen. Luther Strange, but firebrand
conservative Roy Moore still took the nom-
ination. Then, after several women said he’d
molested or dated them as teenagers more
than four decades ago, Moore lost the long-
held GOP seat to Democrat Doug Jones. That
evoked parallels to the 2010 Senate win of
Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts,
which presaged the 2010 tidal wave, that
time against Democrats.
The longstanding goal of repealing
“Obamacare” consumed Republicans for
months. The effort squeaked through the
House — after being left for dead at least
once — in a process that exposed fissures in
GOP ranks and whipped Democrats and their
political base into a frenzy. But in the
Senate, it was clear from the start that the
“repeal and replace” push faced a slog, and
afterward it seemed as if several moderate
Republicans simply didn’t want to get to
“yes.”
After the GOP’s health care debacle, fail-
ure wasn’t an option on taxes.
The effort was far more focused and organ-
“Discharging a firearm in public in itself
is a crime,” said Zuno.
After arriving at the scene of the shoot-
ing, Zuno said deputies proceeded around the
corner nearby to Dogland where the investi-
gation continued. He said currently the case
is specific to the shooting, but additional
information gathered at the business may be
folded into a larger case.
“Anything that pops up during the inves-
tigation will not be ignored,” said Zuno. “If
there are other issues with animals, we will
refer that to the Peninsula Humane Society.”
Calls to the animal care and training facil-
ity Dogland for comment were not returned.
The company is registered to Redwood City
resident Michael Tuck.

ized — and it paid off. Senate GOP leaders
largely passed off the measure to worker
bees such as Pat Toomey, R-Pa., Tim Scott,
R-S.C., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, while in
the House, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
remained singularly devoted to it, along
with Ways and Means Committee Chairman
Kevin Brady, R-Texas.
While Trump’s grasp of health care legis-
lation was spotty at best, his cheerleading
helped on taxes. It also helped, as Ryan said
in an interview, that Republicans “are more
or less wired the same” on taxes.
“Our DNA is similarly structured as
Republicans,” he said. “We were more or
less agreed on how to do it. We did not nec-
essarily have that on health care.”
Still, taxes consumed most of the fall, and
during the debate GOP leaders were reluctant
to take any chances by angering
Republicans on other topics such as the
immigration and the budget. That meant
talks with Democrats faltered — and left a
huge pile of unfinished business until next
year, including disaster aid, immigration,
and budget increases for the Pentagon.
“We have big things that have to be
done,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., a
top leadership strategist and enforcer. With
the tax overhaul done, he said, “the calendar
opens up and we can actually start moving
forward on a bunch of these different items.”
ning between 100 and 200 pounds, com-
monly recognized for their calm and affec-
tionate temperament. Zuno said the reason
the dog attacked the suspect is still being
examined.
Zuno characterized the attack and shoot-
ing as unusual, and expected more details
may soon become available as the investi-
gation continues.
“It’s a rare and unfortunate incident,” he
said. “Hopefully we’ll have more informa-
tion once the investigation is complete as
to what action is taken.”
Those who may have witnessed the inci-
dent or may contribute to the investigation
are encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at
363-4911, or the anonymous tip line at
(800) 567-2700.
