Dumbarton fire recalled

Structure burned in 1998, officials seeking to revamp it for future use
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Exactly 20 years after flames myste-
riously engulfed a large stretch of the
oldest bridge crossing the San
Francisco Bay, firefighters released
photos of the burning structure that
local transit officials are now hoping
to rehabilitate.
Emergency responders were called
on the night of Jan. 3, 1998, to battle
a raging fire along the western portion
of the defunct Dumbarton Rail Bridge,
said Harold Schapelhouman, chief of
the Menlo Park Fire Protection
District.
Schapelhouman, who at the time was
an acting battalion chief, said he
recently decided to release further
details and photos from that night as
renewed focus narrows in on the struc-
ture’s role in the future. Owned by the
San Mateo County Transit District, the
agency last month finalized a study
that proposes rehabilitating the
defunct bridge and reinstating rail
along the Bay’s southernmost cross-
ing.
“We never told that story and we
never released the pictures and part of
that was because of the investigation,”
Schapelhouman said. “But what’s

State marijuana-tracking system not used
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — California’s legal pot
economy was supposed to operate under the
umbrella of a vast computerized system to
track marijuana from seed to storefronts,
ensuring that plants are followed throughout
the supply chain and don’t drift into the
black market.
But recreational cannabis sales began this
week without the computer system in use for
pot businesses. Instead, they are being
asked to document sales and transfers of pot
manually, using paper invoices or shipping
manifests. That raises the potential that an
unknown amount of weed will continue slip-
ping into the illicit market, as it has for
years.
For the moment, “you are looking at
pieces of paper and self-reporting. A lot of
these regulations are not being enforced
right now,” said Jerred Kiloh, a Los Angeles
dispensary owner who heads the United
Cannabis Business Association, an industry
group.
The state Department of Food and
Agriculture, which is overseeing the tracking
system, said in a statement it was “imple-
mented” Tuesday. However, it conceded that
growers and sellers are not required to use it
yet and training on how to input data will be
necessary before it becomes mandatory,
apparently later in the year.
The slow rollout of the tracking system is
just one sign of the daunting task facing the
nation’s most populous state as it attempts
to transform its long-standing medicinal and
illegal marijuana markets into a multibil-
lion-dollar regulated system. Not since the
end of Prohibition in 1933 has such an
expansive illegal economy been reshaped
into a legal one.
So far, it’s been an unsteady start.
Business licenses issued to growers, dis-
tributors and sellers are temporary and will
need to be redone or extended later this year.
Much of the state is blacked out from recre-

California lawmakers to confront sexual misconduct scandal

By Kathleen Ronyane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers
will grapple with a growing sexual miscon-

on Wednesday for the 2018 legislative year

improving the Legislature’s policing of

Mendoza, meanwhile, denies allegations
against him and says an investigation will

when the Senate reconvenes, setting up a
potentially fraught showdown on the
Senate floor.
Legislatively, Republican
Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez will
bring forward for the fifth time a bill that
would give whistleblower protections to
legislative employees who report ethical
violations, including sexual misconduct.
The Senate has killed her bill four times.

Looking to prevent a closure of federal

Their goal is to find a compromise on

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President
Donald Trump wants a two-year pact “that

March 12 trial set
for alleged conspirators
in high-profile murder case
The trial date for a Hillsborough
woman charged with conspiring to mur-
der the father of her
two children along
with two alleged co-
conspirators was
delayed Tuesday to
March 12, according
to the San Mateo
County District
Attorney’s Office.
In a case almost
Tiffany Li two years old, the
new date marks the
third setting of the trial since the defen-
dants were arraigned March 9, 2017,
according to prosecutors.
Charged with conspiring to murder
Keith Green, a Millbrae man and father
of her children, Tiffany Li posted $35
million bail by putting up several Bay
Area properties valued at $62 million
along with $4 million in cash in April.
Li’s 30-year-old boyfriend, Kaveh
Bayat, was assigned $35 million bail in
June but remains in custody, while
alleged co-conspirator Olivier Adella,
42, remains in custody on no bail sta-
tus, according to prosecutors.
Li, along with Bayat, who is believed
to have pulled the trigger of the gun that
killed Green, and Adella, a Burlingame
man who’s been accused as the muscle
behind the crime, are facing murder
charges in the shooting death of 27-
year-old Green, with whom Li was
alleged to have a custody dispute at the
time of his disappearance April 29,
2016, according to prosecutors.
Almost two weeks after he met up
with Li at a Millbrae pancake house the
evening he disappeared, Green’s body
was discovered near a Sonoma County
homeless encampment May 11, accord-
ing to prosecutors. At Tuesday’s pretri-
al conference, Adella withdrew his
waiver to a right to a speedy trial, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Though Adella’s motion could acceler-
ate the trial proceedings, Wagstaffe said
Li and Bayat may submit a motion to
continue the case.

exposing himself to two people and a
police officer Sunday evening is facing
up to five years in prison after a string
of encounters authorities are saying
were drug-related, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
Kevin Adkins, 34, pleaded not guilty
Tuesday to charges of attempted car
theft, bribing a police officer, indecent
exposure and being under the influence
of drugs after he allegedly exposed him-
self to a pizza delivery man, a man
walking his dog and a police officer
who arrested him, according to prosecu-
tors.
At around 7:30 p.m. Dec. 31, Adkins
allegedly approached a man sitting in
his car after delivering a pizza on the
1500 block of Sierra Street, opening
the door of his car and asking for a ride
to Safeway before pulling down his
pants. Adkins allegedly had an object
the man believed to be a gun in his
hand, and got into the passenger seat of
his car just after the victim got out of it,
taking the keys with him and calling
police, according to prosecutors.
Later that night, Adkins allegedly
approached another man walking his
dog near the intersection of Woodside
Road and Oxford Street to ask for a
lighter while exposing himself to the
second victim. The man thought Adkins
was brandishing a metal object and
called police, who arrived to find
Adkins nearby with his genitals still
exposed, holding a bent metal kitchen
lighter and displaying symptoms of
being under the influence of meth,
according to prosecutors.
While in transit to the Redwood City
Police Department, Adkins allegedly
bribed an officer, asking to be let go in
exchange for oral sex. He also attempt-
ed to masturbate in front of the officer
when asked to give a urine sample at the
station, according to prosecutors.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said Adkins has a record of misde-
meanors in the county, with prior drug
and alcohol violations.
On Tuesday, the private defender pro-
gram was appointed to Adkins’ case,
which is set for Superior Court review
conference Wednesday. He is currently
in custody on $100,000 bail, according
to prosecutors.
Man arrested after drawing gun
at San Bruno New Year’s party
A man pleaded not guilty to charges
of felony threats and possession of an
illegal shotgun Tuesday after he
allegedly brandished the weapon at
neighbors who asked him to leave a
New Year’s party early Monday morn-
ing, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorney’s Office.
Sosefo Takapu, 53, allegedly joined a
group of friends celebrating New Year’s
in an open garage across the street from
his San Bruno home. Though the group
didn’t know him well, they invited him
into their party as he was walking past
them, according to prosecutors.
Takapu allegedly consumed a lot of
alcohol and became noisy, prompting
other neighbors to ask the group to be
quiet. When the partygoers asked
Takapu to leave, he allegedly said with
bravado that he would get a gun and
shoot as he exited the garage, according
to prosecutors.
Takapu allegedly returned to find the
garage door closed and banged on it
with a loaded short-barreled shotgun.
When police arrived, they found that
two subjects had taken the shotgun
from the suspect and had detained him,
according to the San Bruno Police
Department.
Takapu remains in custody on
$50,000 bail and will next appear in
court Jan. 16 for preliminary hearing,
according to prosecutors.

Utah’s Hatch to retire,
opening door to possible Romney run
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah
said Tuesday he will not seek re-election after serving more
than 40 years in the Senate, opening the
door for former GOP presidential nomi-
nee Mitt Romney to run for his seat.
Hatch, 83, said he’s always been a
fighter, “but every good fighter knows
when to hang up the gloves.”
Hatch is the longest-serving
Republican in the Senate. He chairs the
powerful Senate Finance Committee and
Orrin Hatch was a major force in getting a tax over-
haul through Congress and signed into
law in December.
He also played a key role in persuading
President Donald Trump to sign procla-
mations scaling back two sprawling
national monuments in Utah that Hatch
and other conservatives considered
example of government overreach.
In a statement, Hatch said he decided to
retire at the end of his seventh term after
Mitt Romney “much prayer and discussion with family
and friends” over the holiday break.
“I may be leaving the Senate, but the next chapter in my
public service is just beginning,” Hatch said.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who now
lives in Utah, has been eyeing a Senate run, but Trump had
encouraged Hatch to seek re-election.
Amid earlier speculation about Hatch’s plans, the Utah
senator stepped up to defend Romney, a fellow Mormon.
Last month Hatch lashed out at former White House adviser
Steve Bannon for his attack on Romney and the Mormon
Church.
U.S. sees surge in women
interested in running for office
ATLANTA — Inside a classroom at a community college
in Dallas, about two dozen women took turns sharing their
names, hometowns and what they hoped would be their
future titles.
Congresswoman. State representative. County judge.
It was part of a training held by EMILY’s List, an organi-
zation dedicated to electing women at all levels of govern-
ment who support abortion rights. One of the presenta-
tion’s PowerPoint slides flashed a mock advertisement on
the projector screen: “Help Wanted: Progressive Women
Candidates.”
A record number of women appear to be answering that
call, fueled largely by frustration on the Democratic side
over the election of President Donald Trump and energized
by Democratic women winning races in Virginia in
November. Experts say 2018 is on track to be a historic
year, with more women saying they are running at this
point than ever before.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Stephanie
Schriock, president of EMILY’s List. “Every day, dozens
more women come to our website, come to our Facebook
page and say, ‘I am mad as hell. I want to do something
about it. What should I do now?”’
Twenty-three hurt,
including firefighter, in Bronx blaze
NEW YORK — The Fire Department of New York says 23
people, including a firefighter, are hurt following a Bronx
blaze. All of them are expected to be OK.
Investigators believe the fire started in a first-floor furni-
ture store around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Adults and children fled from the three stories of apart-
ments above, including a man who ran outside with no shirt
and no shoes. Nearby, icicles hung from power lines and
ladders.
Resident Erica Ortiz told WCBS that a window guard
blocked a fire escape. She says she tried to kick it open, to
no avail.

Iran protests: Supreme leader
blames ‘enemies’ for meddling
By Nasser Karimi
and Jon Gambrell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Breaking his
silence over nationwide protests that
included calls for his ouster, Iran’s
supreme leader on Tuesday blamed the
demonstrations on “enemies of Iran,”
saying they were meddling in its inter-
nal affairs.
The remarks by Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei on the demonstrations —
the largest seen in Iran since its dis-
puted 2009 presidential election —
came after a bloody night that saw pro-
testers try to storm a police station and
the first deaths among its security
forces. The unrest has killed at least 21
people in the past six days.
The protests began Dec. 28 in
Mashhad over the weak economy and a
jump in food prices. They have since
expanded to cities and towns in nearly
every province. Hundreds have been
arrested, and a prominent judge warned
that some could face the death penalty.
Speaking to black-chador-clad
women who were relatives of veterans
and war dead, the 78-year-old
Khamenei warned of an enemy “wait-

ing for an opportunity, for a crack
through which it can infiltrate.”
“Look at the recent days’ incidents,”
he said. “All those who are at odds with
the Islamic Republic have utilized var-
ious means, including money,
weapons, politics and (the) intelli-
gence apparatus, to create problems
for the Islamic system, the Islamic
Republic and the Islamic Revolution.”
Khamenei avoided identifying any
foreign countries, although he prom-
ised to elaborate in the coming days.
Undoubtedly high on his list is the
U.S., where President Donald Trump
has tweeted his support for the
protests for several days.
On Tuesday, he wrote that “the peo-
ple of Iran are finally acting against
the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime.”
“All of the money that President
Obama so foolishly gave them went
into terrorism and into their ‘pock-
ets,”’ Trump wrote, apparently refer-
ring to the nuclear deal reached under
his predecessor. “The people have lit-
tle food, big inflation and no human
rights. The U.S. is watching!”
It is unclear what effect Trump’s
tweets are having on the protests.
Iran’s state TV reported on his tweets
REUTERS
in its news broadcasts, and some peo-
ple have shared them online, but many
in Iran distrust him because he has
refused to re-certify the 2015 nuclear
deal and his travel bans have blocked
Iranians from getting U.S. visas.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman
Bahram Ghasemi urged Trump to stop
tweeting and focus on his own coun-
try’s problems.
“It is better for him to try to address
the U.S.’ internal issues like the mur-
der of scores killed on a daily basis in
the United States during armed clashes
and shootings, as well as millions of
the homeless and hungry people in the
country,” Ghasemi said, according to
the state-run IRNA news agency.
The U.S. government called for the
U.N. Security Council and U.N. Human
Rights Council to hold emergency
meetings on Iran, with the U. S.
ambassador to the United Nations say-
ing the world body “must speak” on
the issue.
“Nowhere is the urgency of peace,
security and freedom being tested more
than in Iran,” U.S. Ambassador Nikki
Haley said, adding that U.S. officials
“applaud the tremendous courage of the
Iranian people.”

Trump throws full U.S.
support behind protesters in Iran
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Tuesday
threw the weight of the U.S. government behind the pro-
testers taking to the streets of Iran, root-
ing them on despite the risk of helping
Iranian authorities dismiss a week of
major demonstrations as the product of
American instigation.
As Iran’s supreme leader accused “ene-
mies of Iran” of trying to destabilize his
country, the State Department pressed
Tehran to unblock social media sites used
Donald Trump by the protesters. It even offered advice
to tech-savvy Iranians on circumventing
state internet controls.
President Donald Trump declared it was “time for change”
in Iran, and other officials floated the possibility of addi-
tional sanctions. At the United Nations, Ambassador Nikki
Haley sought a Security Council meeting to show support
for those protesting in the Islamic Republic.
“We want to help amplify the voices of the Iranian peo-
ple,” said Haley, who appeared before cameras to recite the
chants of protesters across Iran. She said Iran’s claim that
other countries were fomenting the unrest was “complete
nonsense,” describing the dissent as homegrown.
Borrowing from a response playbook it has used before,
Iran’s government blamed the U.S., Saudi Arabia and
Britain for the protests. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the 78-
year-old supreme leader, said Iran’s enemies were using
money, weapons, politics and spies “to create problems for
the Islamic system, the Islamic Republic and the Islamic
Revolution.”
Top U.S. commander wants
more aggressive Afghan push this year
WASHINGTON — The top American commander for the
Middle East wants a more aggressive Afghan military pres-
suring Taliban and other insurgents over
the normally quieter months of
Afghanistan’s winter, and then quickly
going on the offensive in the spring. It’s
all part of a plan the United States hopes
will change the course of a war now enter-
ing its 17th year.
Gen. Joseph Votel of U. S. Central
Command said an influx of new American
Joseph Votel trainers can help escalate the fight.
They’ll be operating with Afghan units,
closer to the front lines and at greater risk, but Votel said
U.S. commanders will ensure American and allied forces
have adequate protection.
The goal is to get the Afghan military moving on its mil-
itary campaign sooner, rather than later.
The United States wants the “focus on offensive opera-
tions and we’ll look for a major effort to gain the initiative
very quickly as we enter into the fighting season,” Votel
said in a recent interview with the Associated Press.
Afghan forces must “keep the pressure on all the time and
work to gain the upper hand as quickly as we can. So that as
we get into this next fighting season we can build on the
initiative,” he said.

Trump boasts of bigger ‘nuclear
button’ than North Korea’s
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
boasted Tuesday that he has a bigger and
more powerful “nuclear button” than North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The president’s Tuesday evening tweet
came in response to Kim’s New Year’s
address, in which he repeated fiery nuclear
threats against the United States. He said he
has a “nuclear button” on his office desk and
warned that “the whole territory of the U.S.
is within the range of our nuclear strike.”
Trump mocked that assertion, writing,
“Will someone from his depleted and food
starved regime please inform him that I too
have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much big-
ger & more powerful one than his, and my
Button works!”
Earlier Tuesday, Trump sounded open to

Officers trained in crisis intervention
arrived within minutes and engaged the man
in dialogue in an attempt to de-escalate the
situation. Despite repeated orders, Carlos
did not heed commands to drop his weapon.
Instead, the man continued to move back
and forth with his finger on the trigger.
Eventually, Carlos allegedly raised the gun
and fired an unspecified number of times at
officers. Seven cops and a deputy with the
Sheriff’s Office shot back, according to
police and the district attorney.
The names of the officers involved have
not yet been released, however they have

Korea in a New Year’s address. But Trump’s

talks would not be meaningful unless the
North was getting rid of its nuclear
weapons.
In a morning tweet, Trump said the U.S.-
led campaign of sanctions and other pres-
sure were beginning to have a “big impact”
on North Korea. He referred to the recent,
dramatic escape of at least two North Korean
soldiers across the heavily militarized bor-
der into South Korea.
Trump threatens to cut off U.S.
aid to Palestinian Authority
WASHINGTON — Acknowledging his
the fatal incident was justified.
“These cases are important to the commu-
nity, ” said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe who noted the importance of pub-
lic accountability, trust and transparency.
The afternoon incident was captured on
cellphone camera by at least one bystander
and investigators are continuing to look for
evidence, Wagstaffe said.
Officers did not have body-worn cameras,
however Redwood City Police Chief Gary
Kirby said his department has submitted a
proposed implementation plan to city offi-
cials. Funding is the missing link and Kirby
noted the suggested $1.8 million cost over
six years may eventually be considered as
part of the city’s fiscal year budget.
Neither Wagstaffe nor Kirby would elabo-
rate on exactly what kind of contact author-
ities had previously had with Carlos.
Wagstaffe said further details would be
released when his office completes a final
report, expected within 10 weeks.
A man sharing Carlos’ name and birthday
was arrested in 2006 for the non-fatal
shooting of an 18-year-old in North Fair
Oaks. The then 20-year-old shooter was ini-
tially charged with attempted murder before

push to broker peace in the Middle East has

appeared to threaten to cut off U.S. aid
money to the Palestinian Authority, asking
why the U.S. should make “any of these
massive future payments” when the
Palestinians are “no longer willing to talk
peace.”
Trump, in a pair of tweets, said the U.S.
pays “the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MIL-
LIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no
appreciation or respect.”
“They don’t even want to negotiate a long
overdue ... peace treaty with Israel,” he
wrote.
Trump infuriated Palestinians and
Muslims across the Middle East when he
announced late last year that the U.S. would
consider Jerusalem the capital of Israel and

Fourth officer-involved
shooting in 2017
The 2017 holiday weekend shooting
marked the close of a year in which an
unusual number of officer-involved fatal
incidents occurred. Prior to the 2017 cases,
the last time officers in San Mateo County
fatally shot someone was in 2014. The clus-
ter included an April 28 incident that shut-
tered Highway 101 during rush hour traffic
when California Highway Patrol officers
shot an intoxicated 26-year-old. The man
had attempted to carjack a woman and even-
tually pointed a revolver at officers who
fired. The incident was caught on CHP’s
dash-mounted cameras.
A 59-year-old man was shot and killed by
South San Francisco officers just before
midnight May 23. Armed with a shotgun,
the man was severely depressed and made
erratic statements during a series of phone
calls to 911, according to prosecutors.
On March 21, what started as a domestic
violence call turned into a deadly encounter
when Redwood City police shot a man
almost simultaneously as he shot himself.
The intoxicated man had been wielding a
gun as he chased his wife around outside an
office complex where she worked and failed
to heed officers’ orders to drop his weapon.  Attorney’s Office, Kirby said the incident

The cold has been blamed for at least a

who are elderly, sick or who live alone.

“It’s nothing but a good thing for the pub-

Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffe said while the recent uptick has
been unusual, mental health issues are a
common thread he’s witnessed in both fatal
and nonfatal incidents.
Crisis intervention training
Kirby said the Redwood City Police
Department has sought to adjust its emer-
gency response to consider mental health
issues. About 64 percent of all patrol offi-
cers have completed crisis intervention
training, or CIT, coordinated by the
Sheriff’s Office and the goal is to see
Redwood City’s entire department trained.
The department also has a force-option sim-
ulator that allows officers to practice de-
escalation techniques and non-lethal
response.
Officers trained in CIT are also allowed to
“self-deploy” if they hear over the radio that
an incident involves someone in a potential
mental health crisis. Kirby said there is a
steady demand for officers who respond with
the understanding of mental health issues.

He added while the compost may be col-

In advocating for RethinkWaste’s recy-
cling services, La Mariana encouraged resi-
dents to take advantage of the opportunity
to repurpose their tree.
“They will get processed and get one more
useful life out them. If it goes in the black
cart, it doesn’t and its just an extremely
wasteful use of resources,” he said.
Krista Kuehnhackl, a sustainability coor-
dinator with the San Mateo County Office of
Sustainability, also promoted locals recy-
cling their tree when possible.
She also suggested in future years, rather
than get a tree for a single holiday season
use, people consider reusing potted trees as
the center of their Christmas celebration to
cut down on the amount of trees killed for
decorations.
Kuenhackl was mindful though to steer
clear from giving directions which may
infringe on holiday customs.
“A Christmas tree is a part of people’s tra-
dition, so we hate to tell people what to do.
So we’re just giving them options,” she
said.
With the variety of eco-conscious options
available, La Mariana recommended resi-
dents seek out an alternative designed to
give their tree another purpose rather than
simply sending it to the dump.
“If it goes to the landfill, that’s it. It does-
n’t offer the societal benefits,” he said.

Letters to the editor
Enough is enough
Editor,
Jim Remington’s Dec. 29 letter
“High-density housing” once again
hit the nail on the head. The next
time you go out, ask a half dozen peo-
ple who live in San Mateo what they
think of all the development. I guar-
antee the answer will be enough is
enough.
Just because developers say what
they are building will reduce traffic
and improve San Mateo doesn’t make
it true. I just got back from a trip to
Los Angeles and what I would like to
see is a requirement that every coun-
cilmember lives in Los Angeles for
six months before they take office.
Before we turn San Mateo into
North Los Angeles, tell your coun-
cilmembers what your neighbors said
when you ask them about more devel-
opment. It’s not too late, but it’s get-
ting awful close. I lived the majority
of my life in San Mateo before choos-
ing to move away for this exact rea-
son.

USS Cal Builders and
South San Francisco schools
Editor,
The decision to assign USS Cal
Builders’ lawsuit against the South
San Francisco Unified School District
(SSFUSD) to the San Francisco
County Superior Court is welcomed
and overdue.
It is high time the fiscally irrespon-
sible management of Measure J funds
by the SSFUSD will come under pub-
lic scrutiny. The pending suit by USS
Cal Builders was filed because the dis-
trict refuses to acknowledge its
accountability to the community and
false allegations of shoddy workman-
ship. Its actions will impact the stu-
dents, their parents and the already
damaged reputations of local contrac-
tors who are still unpaid for their
efforts.
Our comprehensive records show
district approval for every project.
The price for the mismanagement of
the original bond funds is rising in
both delays and dollars, including the
movement of resources from the gen-
eral fund to pay for project comple-
tion. USS Cal Builders repeatedly
warned the SSFUSD there was insuffi-
cient money for the work it author-
ized. In response, the construction
management team was assured by the
district that more bonds would be
forthcoming to finance the projects.
Now, as a direct result of the district’s
antics, innumerable contractors and
their families in South San Francisco

Progressive
racism of bridge tolls
Editor,
For years, our governor has traveled
abroad to encourage foreign invest-
ment in California real estate. Last
year alone, more than 1 in 3 homes
sold on the Peninsula went to foreign
investors at inflated prices, driving
up rents and forcing service-industry
workers — largely black and
Hispanic — to seek barely affordable
housing as far east as Tracy.
Now, Gov. Brown wants a 60 per-
cent increase on Bay Area bridge
tolls, an additional $800 yearly cost
per commuter. The hike won’t affect
our wealthy governor or Menlo Park’s
Tesla drivers, but it will absolutely
crush low-income black and Hispanic
commuters. Having encouraged
“investment” that drove minorities
from Peninsula housing, Gov. Brown
now seeks to punish them for com-
muting to their Peninsula jobs.
If an Alabama governor acted like
ours, we’d call him a racist. But, in
California, trampling on minorities
is merely “progressive.”

Christmas ‘presence’
I
f we want children to show concern for their fellow
man, we have to begin by showing concern for them.
Any nation that does not look upon its children as its
greatest national resource can have no future.” — Eda Le
Shan.
Christmas is traditionally looked upon as a very special
day for children. After all, they ask Santa for their heart’s
desire and then await that magic morning when their pres-
ents appear under the tree. As they revel in their gifts from
Santa and others that are under the tree from other generous
donors that add to their overabundant collection of toys, it
makes you wonder how many children receive the most
important gift — adequate time and attention from their par-
ents all year-round.
The best gifts that parents
can bestow upon their chil-
dren are not those purchased
at Toys R Us and wrapped
colorfully and put under the
Christmas tree. Neither are
they the ones that Santa may
bring. They are those that
indicate concern for the
child’s healthy growth and
development all throughout
the year — gifts that can
last, in many ways, a life-
time. Whether a child is a
success in school and later
in life depends greatly on what kind of parental relationship
and home environment he/she experiences from day one.
Everything from the percent of college grads, the occurrence
of serious illnesses, to the increasing crime rate is influ-
enced by the quality of our children’s upbringing.
Consider the following:
Parents, or other caretakers with the child’s best interest
at heart, will see that the child is always offered nutritious
food at home and when away. This child will mainly eat
meals prepared at home, with good nutrition in mind. This
gift is the best way to contribute to their physical health,
now and in the future.
They will do the best they can to protect the child from
dangerous chemicals in food, personal products and the
environment, etc. Some of these threats include BPA in the
linings of canned foods, plastic toys and other plastics, car-
pet and furniture fire and soil retardants and cleaners, pesti-
cide and herbicides on lawns and emanations from artificial
turf, fumes from household cleaners, air fresheners, environ-
mental smoke and auto exhaust, etc.
They will avoid violent and raunchy television shows,
movies or other presentations inappropriate for children. As
James P. Sayer wrote in “The Other Parent”: ”We’ve progres-
sively let the standards and protections for children erode.
First, it was in the interest of free speech and artistic free-
dom, but along the way, the marketplace took over. Now,
it’s exclusively commercial interests that determine the con-
tent of the media, and explicit sex is a tried and true formula
to grab audiences on television.” Ditto with violence.
Caring, responsible parents will contribute to their
child’s education and success in school by regularly spend-
ing time with them, reading to them, having interesting
books at home, choosing good educational videos and toys,
enjoying museums and other appropriate events together,
teaching them how to make things, keeping aware of what’s
going on in their schools. They will model for their chil-
dren honesty, decency, responsibility and compassion.
They will encourage their children to gain self-respect and
respect for others by showing their children respect. In the
same way, they learn empathy and concern for others. And
you accumulate materially that counts, but how much you
contribute to the well-being of society. “Americans like to
think we have a greater regard and show a greater responsi-
bility for the needs of our children than most other soci-
eties. In fact, however, the very nature of our current
American daily life — fast-paced and frequently changing —
causes our failure both to recognize and to meet the needs of
our children.” — Joseph Rosner, “Myths of Child
Rearing.” 
Now that Christmas is over and the new year has begun,
it’s a good time to resolve to keep the welfare of our chil-
dren foremost in our minds. Few children need more toys and
gadgets, but many are in need of dedicated and attentive par-
ents who care enough to educate themselves about parent-
ing, who have their child’s well-being utmost in their hearts
and minds and become positive role models. Yes, all of this
takes time, but as that dedicated child advocate, Penelope
Leach, author of “Are We Shortchanging Our Children?”
wrote: “Children are not hobbies to be kept out of the way
except when they are wanted. They are not luxuries to be
indulged in when the parents have time. … Parents are the
ones who are best equipped to help children to become ful-
filled people and good citizens. Society, with its dazzle of
material prizes is blinding us to the right to parent our own
children. Can we slow down enough to see where we are
going?”

Stocks rise as technology leads again

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Technology and
health care companies jumped
Tuesday as U.S. stocks started the
new year the same way they spent
the last one: rising steadily and set-
ting records. Energy companies,
which struggled in 2017, also
climbed.
Asian markets rose after surveys
in China and India showed contin-
ued manufacturing growth in the
world’s most populous countries.
U.S. stocks followed suit as
investors snapped up shares of
companies that should benefit from
faster economic growth, including
technology, health care and materi-
als companies, just as they did last
year. The Nasdaq composite busted
through another milestone as it
closed above 7,000 points.
“We’ll continue to see many of
the themes from last year play out,”
said Kate Warne, an investment
strategist for Edward Jones.
She said the global economy
should keep growing and business-
es and consumers around the world
will continue to spend more money.
It helps that interest rates are low,
and governments in areas that
reduced their spending during the
Great Recession are becoming more
willing to spend.

What to expect for your personal finances in 2018

By Sarah Skidmore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
No one wants to be caught off-
guard when it comes to their
finances. So the Associated Press
asked several experts to share
their opinion on what will hap-
pen with some key issues in
2018 that will directly impact
your personal financial well-
being. Here’s a look at their fore-
casts:
Q. What s ho ul d I ex pect
fro m g as pri ces ?
A. Gas prices are still quite
low, historically speaking, and
were fairly steady in 2017. But
2018 may be a bit more rocky,
according to Tom Kloza, global
head of energy analysis at the Oil
Price Information Service.
Kloza estimates the average
price for regular gasoline will
end 2017 around $2.39 a gallon.
A typical family might consume
90 gallons of regular gas each
month, so their cost in 2017 has
been around $215 per month.
Overall, Kloza expects the
average price nationwide to rise
to around $2.45 for 2018. That’s
still well below the more than $3
a gallon that Americans faced
from 2011 to 2014. Like every
year, prices will vary greatly by
region and season.
A word of warning though —
hurricanes or recessions could
disrupt even the best estimates.
Q. What wi l l the jo b mar-
ket l o o k l i ke i n 2 0 1 8 ?
A. The current strength in the
job market should carry into
2018. This is particularly true if
you are in a high-demand field
like health care, technology or e-
commerce, said Andrew
Chamberlain, chief economist at
jobsite Glassdoor.
“Today’s labor market is proba-
bly the tightest in a generation
so that puts workers in a strong
bargaining position with
employers,” said Chamberlain.
Companies in high-demand
fields should offer pay raises and
other incentives to help attract
and retain workers. Those not in
high-demand fields may see some
improvements in workplace con-
ditions too.
Experts like Chamberlain are
warning job-holders not to get
lulled into complacency by the
unusually long U. S. economic
expansion. As economists say:
times are good until they aren’t.
Chamberlain said this is a good
time to prepare for an inevitable
downturn by socking away
money in savings, polishing
your resume and keeping your
list of work accomplishments
handy.
Q. Wh at ab o ut t ax
chang es ?
A. This is the big question
mark for many. The tax overhaul
bill, which passed Congress
Wednesday and is awaiting the
signature of President Donald
Trump, would take effect in 2018.
You may see changes almost
immediately in your withhold-
ings from your paycheck. The
IRS said earlier this month that it
is closely monitoring the bill
and expects to issue initial with-
holding guidance in January,
which would allow taxpayers to
begin seeing the benefits of the
change as early as February.
However, other big changes
from the overhaul — such as a
lower tax rate or elimination of
some deductions — won’t be
fully evident until you complete
your taxes in the spring of 2019.
Generally speaking, the legis-
lation reduces levies on the
wealthiest Americans, while
making more modest tax reduc-
tions for most others. The tax
cuts for individuals are tempo-
rary, expiring in 2026. And
while it doubles the standard
deduction used by most
Americans, that will also end in
eight years.

he’s a candidate to return for a sec-
ond stint as coach of the Oakland

will be made next week.
Gruden made his most specific
comments about the opening in
Oakland in an interview Tuesday

Raiders fired coach Jack Del Rio on
Sunday following a disappointing
six-win season
“My understanding is they’re

Oakland’s 2017 issues deeper than coaching
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The problems that
plagued the Oakland Raiders this
season in their surprising fall
from Super Bowl contender to a
losing record went much deeper
than any coach.
While coach Jack Del Rio paid
the price for overseeing one of the
league’s most disappointing
teams this season, it will take
more than just bringing in Jon
presence, who totaled five blocks
— three blocked point-after tries,
one blocked field goal and one
blocked punt — in addition to 167
yards worth of kickoff returns.
“I actually don’t like coming off
the field at all,” Hofmann said.
This was a necessary mindset for
the entirety of Half Moon Bay’s ros-
ter, with the team carrying less than
30 players throughout the regular
season. But that’s the way they roll
on the Coastside, where Hofmann
and the Cougars’ core group of sen-
iors — Gavin Tomberlin, Hayden
Von Almen and Jake Quosig — who
learned to play all roles, all-out, all
the time since their upstart days
with the Pop Warner Mitey-Mite
Cougars at the age of 7.
“We’ve all played together so
long, and all played both ways so
long, it really wasn’t anything new
to us,” Hofmann said.
Racking up championship tro-
phies wasn’t new to them either.

Oakland around.
“For us as players, we need to be
better, ” quarterback Derek Carr
said. “We have to be more account-
able. We have to be more demand-
ing.”
That was missing this season as
the Raiders (6-10) were unable to

Meier nets a pair in Sharks’ win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTREAL — Timo Meier scored twice and
the San Jose Sharks rebounded from their worst
loss of the season with a 4-1 victory over the
slumping Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
Joe Thornton and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also
scored for the Sharks (21-12-4), who were com-
ing off a 6-0 setback Sunday in Dallas. San Jose
has won four of five.
Andrew Shaw scored for Montreal (16-20-4),
which has lost five straight games and scored
just four goals during that span.
San Jose outshot Montreal 33-31.
The Canadiens wasted a string of chances early
and San Jose scored first. Justin Braun shot wide
from the right point but Thornton stopped the
puck and put it in from the side of the net at
12:57.
Vlasic finished a 2-on-1 with Mikkel Boedker
at 11:27 of the second.
Montreal broke a drought of 132 minutes
without a goal at 16:07, but it took a two-man
advantage to do it. And the Canadiens didn’t
shoot the puck into the net, as Max Pacioretty’s
pass to Shaw went off the center’s skate and past
goalie Aaron Dell.
Meier was at the edge of the crease to finish a
tic-tac-toe play with Chris Tierney and Kevin
Labanc on a power play at 19:50. Meier got his
second of the game and eighth of the season
when he picked the top corner against Carey
Price on an off-wing rush down the right side
1:13 into the third.
Dell made 30 saves and has won six straight
starts.

Murray withdraws in Brisbane, cramps KO Muguruza
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRISBANE, Australia — Andy Murray with-
drew from the Brisbane International, citing
ongoing problems with his right hip, hours
after women’s top seed Garbine Muguruza
retired in the third set of her opening match
because of leg cramps.
Former No. 1-ranked Murray was scheduled
to play Thursday in his return to competitive
tennis for the first time since July but notified
organizers he was pulling out after failing to
practice on Tuesday.
“I came here with every intention of making
a strong start to the year, but sadly my team
and I don’t feel that I’m where I need to be just

Murray, who has won the title here twice.
Muguruza fell to the court behind the base-
line before retiring from her opening match
while leading in the third set against
Aleksandra Krunic.
The Wimbledon champion had been up a set
and a break but couldn’t close it out in straight
sets as Krunic rallied from 5-2 down in the sec-

Olympic skating spots on line in San Jose

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — Imagine working for years,
targeting one of the most elusive goals in
sports.
Then recognizing that all of those practices
and training and competitions lead to four
minutes or so when you must be at your best.
Or else the dream collapses.
That’s how American figure skaters
approach this week’s national champi-
onships, which serve as the United States’
qualifier for the Pyeongchang Olympics in
February and begin Wednesday.
Nervous time? Sure.
Pressure? Immeasurable.
Maybe it’s appropriate that nationals will
take place at the Shark Tank. Competitors need
to be as relentless as a great white.
“I definitely think there is additional pres-
sure,” defending men’s champion Nathan
Chen said. “But it is reassuring. I am happy
with the way things have gone, happy I am in
this position. This is what I wanted for a long
time. I personally remind myself to embrace
it.”
America could embrace Chen, who comes off
a Grand Prix Final victory and, with his five
quadruple jumps in his free skate, has ratcheted
up the technical level for all men. He’ll be a
heavy favorite to make the Olympic squad, and
a strong contender for a medal in South Korea.
“Every competition is different, regardless
of how you prepare yourself or how you look at
it, it always will be a little bit different,” said
the 18-year-old from Salt Lake City who trains
in Lakewood, California. “Through all the
experiences I have had so far, I kind of know
what to expect from a pressure standpoint, and
the pressure is always pretty similar. And it
really helps me approach the competition
from a skating aspect better; I know how to get
myself physically ready. So when the compe-
tition happens, I can turn to more mental
things.
“Honestly, I have not done any major
changes, just kind of rely on that when I get to
the competition my training will come
through.”
Jason Brown, a 2014 bronze medalist in the
team competition at the Sochi Games, Adam
Rippon and Vincent Zhou figure to be the main
contenders for the other two U.S. spots in
Pyeongchang.
There’s no overwhelming favorite in the
women’s event, which could come down to the
experience of three-time national champion
Ashley Wagner, also a Sochi bronze winner in
the team event, and 2010 Olympian Mirai
Nagasu. Defending champion Karen Chen has
had a difficult season.
There’s no Michelle Kwan or Tara Lipinski
around who could push aside the Russians or
Japanese who form the strength of the
women’s division.
“The constant struggle in our sport always is
finding the balance between artistry and the
technical side, the athletic side of the sport,”
Lipinski said, adding she doesn’t see any of
the American women being on the same level
as the Russians, in particular. “But I think
that’s what makes skating so magical is
because everyone does have their own different
preferences and opinions. It’s definitely a bit
more interesting than a sport that has a finish
line.”
The finish line in ice dance could include an
American couple on the Olympic podium.
Maia and Alex Shibutani have followed in the
skate steps of Sochi champions Meryl Davis
and Charlie White. The sister-brother combo
is a strong choice to win a third U.S. title; the
Shibutanis also own three world medals.

half. We’re excited about next year.”
Roaring rookies
The other major bright spot in San
Francisco was the play of the rookie class.
The Niners got major contributions from
several rookies led by first-round line-
backer Reuben Foster, who should be a cen-
terpiece of the defense for years to come.
Receiver Trent Taylor and tight end George
was a solid backup running back and safety
Adrian Colbert and cornerback Ahkello
Witherspoon showed signs of being long-
term contributors in the secondary.
Free agency
The 49ers will be able to spend big in free
agency if they choose thanks to more than
$110 million projected in salary cap room.
Some of the biggest decisions outside of
getting a deal done with Garoppolo will be
about their own players. Running back
Carlos Hyde, safety Eric Reid and center
Daniel Kilgore are among the most promi-
nent potential free agents. Hyde and Reid
had strong finishes to their season and will
to hit the open market. Kilgore helped ease
Garoppolo’s transition and the Niners may
want to keep him to provide continuity on
the line.
Get healthy
San Francisco had 23 players end the sea-

team is counting on to be healthy contribu-
tors in 2018. Linebacker Malcolm Smith
(biceps) missed the entire season, along
with 2016 first-round guard Joshua Garnett

Ward went down with mid-season broken
arms, and 2015 first-round defensive line-
man Arik Armstead broke his hand. Receiver

Brown (shoulder). Healthy returns for those
players could provide big boosts next sea-

Breakthrough season
The most impressive free-agent addition
last year for the Niners was receiver
Marquise Goodwin, who exceeded his four-
year output in Buffalo in just one season in
San Francisco. Goodwin caught 56 passes
for 962 yards and was tied for fifth in catch-
es (29) and sixth in yards receiving (384) in
the final five games after Garoppolo took
over at quarterback.

NFL briefs one of the league’s most stretch after being an inte-

Bills fans flooding Andy Dalton’s RAIDERS

foundation with donations
CINCINNATI — Giddy Buffalo fans are
making a surge in donations to Andy
Dalton’s foundation, their way of thanking
the Bengals quarterback for making the
Bills’ long-awaited playoff appearance pos-
sible.
Dalton’s foundation reported Tuesday it
has received more than $100,000 in dona-
tions since the Bengals beat the Ravens 31-
27 on Sunday. Dalton threw a 49-yard touch-
down pass with 44 seconds left to eliminate
the Ravens.
The Bills got the final AFC wild-card
berth and ended their 17-year postseason
drought, the longest among North
America’s four major professional sports.
Cardinals QB Carson Palmer
retires after 15 NFL seasons
PHOENIX — Arizona Cardinals quarter-
back Carson Palmer is retiring after 15 NFL
seasons.
Palmer, who turned 38 last week, made the
announcement in an open letter released
Tuesday by the Cardinals. Palmer missed the
last nine games of what would be his final
season with a broken left arm.
Continued from page 11
change to John Pagano but it wasn’t enough.
The Raiders fell into a hole with a four-
game losing streak early in the season and
then collapsed with four straight losses down
the stretch after getting back into con-
tention.
That led to owner Mark Davis’ decision to
fire Del Rio after three seasons with all signs
pointing to Gruden returning as the team’s
next coach. ESPN which employs Gruden as
an announcer, has reported that the move will
happen.
Whoever is hired will have a much better
foundation than the one Del Rio inherited
when he took over following a three-win sea-
son in 2014.
“For a while there, we didn’t have any win-
ning seasons. He came in here and we were
able to turn things around,” fullback Jamize
Olawale said. “I think moving forward, the
future is bright.”
Here are some issues the Raiders will face
this offseason:
Fix the Carr
The most puzzling development this sea-
son was the step back by Carr. He had become
Oakland back into the playoffs the following
promising passers after
leading seven fourth-quar-
ter comebacks in 2016.
But whether it was skit-
tishness after a broken
leg that ended 2016 and a
back injury early this sea-
son, the coordinator
Derek Carr change or some other fac-
tor, Carr looked little like
the player who earned a $125 million con-
tract last offseason. He tied his career high
with 13 interceptions and most of his other
numbers were the worst since his rookie sea-
son.
Beast Mode
The Raiders lured Marshawn Lynch out of
retirement in part for goodwill from the fans
in Oakland, who wanted to cheer on a home-
town favorite. Lynch proved to be more than
that the second half of the season as he aver-
aged 78.1 yards rushing per game over the
final eight games, tied for third best in the
league in that span. But whether that’s
enough for the team to want him back for a
second season will be a question this offsea-
son.
Crabby Crab
Receiver Michael Crabtree mysteriously
became a non-factor for the Raiders down the
Tennessee Titans. ESPN first reported the like-
gral part of the team for
most of his first three sea-
sons in Oakland.
Crabtree played just 46
snaps in the final two
games, was targeted five
times and had just two
catches. He spent much of
Michael the time on the sideline
upset by his reduced role.
Crabtree
“I do everything I’m
supposed to do,” he said. “I play 60 minutes
every time we play. Game winners after game
winners.
“I did everything they asked of me these
last two games and I’ve probably had three
targets. Nobody’s saying anything about that
but it’s all good. Like I said I’m going to keep
working hard and be me.”
Second chance
Oakland spent its first two draft picks this
past season on two defensive backs who
ended up making little impact because of
injuries. First-round cornerback Gareon
Conley played just two games because of a
shin injury and second-round safety Obi
Melifonwu had just 34 defensive snaps
because of lower-body injuries.
The Raiders will be counting on healthy
bounce-back seasons from those two to boost
a secondary that has struggled in recent years.
under late owner Al Davis and his son, Mark,

GRUDEN

hope I’m a candidate.”
The Raiders are not commenting on the
search beyond a statement issued Sunday
night from owner Mark Davis thanking Del
Rio for his tenure.
Gruden spent four seasons as coach in
Oakland from 1998-2001. After leading the
Raiders to 8-8 records his first two years,
Gruden helped the team reach the AFC title
game following the 2000 season and got
season.
Gruden’s tenure ended shortly after the “Tuck
Rule” loss to the New England Patriots when
he was traded the following month to Tampa
Bay for two first-round draft picks, two sec-
ond-rounders and $8 million.
Gruden beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl in
his first season with the Buccaneers but didn’t
win another playoff game for Tampa Bay in
his final six seasons. He has a 95-81 career
record.
Gruden has spent the past nine seasons
working as an announcer for ESPN and is
scheduled to work the playoff game Saturday
in Kansas City between the Chiefs and
lihood of Gruden returning to Oakland on the
eve of the season finale that Oakland lost.
Del Rio was fired following the 30-10 defeat
to the Chargers, leading to the current search.
The Raiders will be required to comply with
the “Rooney Rule” and interview at least one
minority candidate or otherwise face disci-
pline from the NFL.
John Wooten, the head of the Fritz Pollard
Alliance which monitors the NFL’s minority
hiring, said he is confident the Raiders will
follow the rules and doesn’t consider the
process a sham despite reports Gruden would
get the job before it even opened.
Wooten pointed to the Raiders’ history
in hiring minority candidates, from making
Art Shell the first African-American head
coach in modern NFL history in 1989 and
then bringing him back for a second stint in
2006.
Tom Flores was the first Hispanic coach to
win a Super Bowl and the team also hired Hue
Jackson as coach in 2011 and currently
employs Reggie McKenzie as general manag-
er.
“I trust the integrity of Mark Davis and
Reggie and what they have done,” Pollard
said. “I trust they will follow the rule and I
believe that.”

Cleansing escarole and spinach soup
By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I have been in possession
recently of a very large can of
Virginia peanuts, one of my
favorite things to eat on earth. It’s
foolish to pretend that a small
handful will curb the peanut crav-
ing. But I do take out a small hand-
ful, put the lid back on, put the can
away (Ha, the wishful thinking!)
and crunch away. Then I take out
the can again, remove another
small handful, put the can away
and eat those. Then I do it one
more time. And maybe one more
time.
All of this is to explain why I’d
been craving a cleansing soup, a
bracing soup, a soup that feels
almost acerbic in nature. A soup
that makes me feel a bit less guilty
about pulling out that peanut can
yet one more time. And while this
soup is all of that, it’s also deli-
cious, and doesn’t feel punishing
in the slightest.
I think this recipe benefits from
a very liberal hand with the pep-
permill, but that’s a personal pref-
erence. To make the soup more
substantial, you can add a can of
rinsed and drained white beans,
such as navy or cannellini.

Continued from page 1
than the Christmas gift that we had all
fought for,” Guardino said. “It turns out
there’s a lump of coal in that otherwise
Christmas stocking of gifts. And that’s
hard to reconcile in an innovation econo-
my where your most valuable asset is by far
your employees.”
The GOP overhaul has been touted as a
boon to companies that will see corporate
tax rates slashed from 35 percent to 21 per-
cent. It also alleviates the tax burden on
profits made overseas by moving the
United States toward a territorial system.
Instead of companies paying additional
U.S. taxes when they bring home profits
made in foreign countries, corporations
will be subject to the rates based on where
the cash was earned.
With nearly half of the SVLG’s 370 mem-
bers having fewer than 100 employees,
Guardino said he’s heard business leaders
celebrate as well as lament the potential
ramifications of the tax overhaul.
“Across the board from an American
competitiveness standpoint, there is so
much to like on the corporate side of this
bill to keep us competitive, which keeps
our workers employed, ” Guardino said.
“The big however, after 15 years of fight-
ing for corporate tax reform, is they decid-
ed to lump in individual tax reform as well
as. Across many of our companies is a deep
concern of how this negatively impacts
LOCAL
their employees and families, especially
those employees who live in high-cost
states like California.”
Guardino said the overhaul that kicked
off in 2018 is akin to the 1960s western
classic “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”   gage interest, state income tax and proper-
Positives include the sharp reduction in
corporate income tax rates to 21 percent,
which is higher than the GOP’s initially
proposed 20 percent, but closer to global
competitors from the 35 member countries
in the Organisation for Economic Co-oper-
ation and Development, Guardino
explained.
The corporate tax reform will “strength-
en America’s innovation economy around
the globe,” Guardino said, adding the new
rates are “much more in line with all of our
OECD competitors across countries that
average 22 percent.”
Another benefit is the tax bill’s overhaul
of what’s charged to companies making
profits overseas, Guardino said. Prior to
the new law, most companies headquartered
in America would pay U.S. taxes when they
brought home cash from abroad, on top of
the rate paid to the jurisdiction in which it
was earned. Now, companies won’t be dou-
ble taxed by the federal government when
they transfer earnings home.
“It goes to a territorial system, so our
companies are not at the disadvantage of
being double taxed when other countries
don’t do that to their home-located compa-
nies competing globally. And it allows a
higher rate than expected, but a rate that’s
still compelling to bring cash that is
stashed overseas back home,” Guardino
said.
In general, keeping U. S. companies
globally sustainable has widespread bene-
fits, he argued.
“Anyone who says that policies that
help our companies stay competitive is
somehow bad for the American worker has
forgotten that workers are employed by
employers,” Guardino said.  email, before noting further evaluation of
Still, in Silicon Valley where the econo-
my orbits around innovation and compa-
nies are drawn to the region’s pool of tal-
ent, what affects employees can affect
employers. That’s where the bad and the
ugly come in, Guardino said.
The tax bill provided more modest cuts to
individual rates, but placed caps on deduc-
tions that could prove costly for middle-
class residents in states like California.
One change is that homeowners will only
be able to deduct the interest paid on mort-
gage debt up to $750,000.
That cap could make it even harder for
people to buy in a region where seven-
digit home prices are common and a jobs-
to-housing imbalance is fanning an afford-
ability crisis.
Rosanne Foust, CEO of the San Mateo
County Economic Development
Association, said she’s also heard mixed
reactions from corporate representatives.
“While SAMECDA and our member com-
panies are still evaluating the final version
of the tax plan, the legislation will have
positive and negative impacts on San
Mateo County’s business community, ”
Foust said in an email. “Reductions in the

corporate tax rate will benefit companies
in California and companies like AT&T,
Wells Fargo and Comcast have announced
employee bonus plans and wage increases.
But the new limits on deductions for mort-
ty taxes will have a challenging impact on
an already difficult housing market and
employees who want to purchase a home.”
Under the GOP’s tax law, starting in
2018 individuals are capped on how much
in state and local taxes they can deduct
from their federal returns. In high-tax
states like California, that $10,000 cap
that also includes property taxes could put
the squeeze on middle-income families.
Rufus Jeffris, spokesman with the Bay
Area Council, said while the business
organization was supportive of the
changes to corporate taxes, many are wor-
ried about its other effects.
Concerns include the potential for the
bill to “exacerbate our housing crisis and
possibly hurt foundational elements of our
innovation economy,” Jeffris wrote in an
the final bill is needed.
Despite a near doubling of the standard
deduction for individuals, caps on other
deductions could have the net effect of
increasing tax obligations for some fami-
lies. Guardino noted that could ultimately
be felt by small businesses that benefit
from consumers having more disposable
income to shop at local establishments.
The ugly of the bill, he said, is that it
ends up disenfranchising those in places
with higher local tax rates like California,
New Jersey and New York, which also hap-
pen to be blue states. Despite having advo-
cated for corporate tax reform for more
than a decade, the changes to individual
rates have tempered the excitement of
many local business representatives, he
said.
“It tastes like medicine when it first goes
in, … but there’s a pretty bitter aftertaste
when it comes to what we value most in an
innovation economy, which is our workers
and our families,” Guardino said, noting
companies are concerned about their abili-
ty to retain employees. “This is going to
be a seriously difficult conversation in
Silicon Valley board rooms and living
rooms for the foreseeable future.”

Cauliflower mashed potatoes simple to make

By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Let’s say you’ve resolved to eat healthier

in the New Year, but find yourself tripped up
over and over again by your unconquerable
yen for food that’s rich and delicious. And
let’s also say that one of your favorite dish-
es is mashed potatoes.
There are no potatoes in this recipe, but
by the time your family and guests have
polished off a serving of this side dish,
every one of them will be swearing that
these are the smoothest, tastiest mashed
potatoes they’ve ever eaten — although it’s
possible that the more discerning among
them will note that there’s something a lit-
tle bit different about that flavor. That
would be because they’re not potatoes.
Rather, this dish is a 100 percent cauli-
flower puree with a tiny tad of butter and
some salt thrown in. That’s right — only
three ingredients. Four, if you count the
water.
And it’s very simple to make. You just cut
a head of cauliflower into pieces about 1 1/2
inches thick. Combine the pieces with the
salt and butter, then put it all in a large skil-
let and pour in enough water to nearly cover
the contents. Bring the water to a boil, There are no potatoes in this recipe, but by the time your family and guests have polished off a serving of this side dish, every one of them

NEW YORK — McDonald’s is test-
ing the use of fresh beef in another
burger, the latest move by the fast food
chain to swap out frozen beef as it
seeks to improve its image.
The company said Tuesday that the
new burger, called Archburger, is being
tested in seven McDonald’s restaurants
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. McDonald’s held
similar tests for fresh beef Quarter

announcing in March that it would roll
it out to most of its 14,000 restaurants
by the middle of this year. McDonald’s
said the latest test is limited, and it is
seeking feedback from customers and
its restaurants.
McDonald’s Corp. has made several
changes to its menu in recent years in
an attempt to appeal to Americans who
are increasingly concerned with the
ingredients in their food. The world’s

Fresh beef is a big change for the
Oak Brook, Illinois-based company,
which has relied on frozen beef patties
for more than 40 years.
The Archburger test could mean the
company is open to expanding the use
of fresh beef to even more menu items,
analysts at Nomura said in a note to
clients Tuesday.

BRIDGE

be new again.”
Built in 1910 as a single-track line
to ship goods from the East Bay to San
Francisco, the structure was used from
1912 to 1982 and now sits stagnant
just south of the car bridge between
East Palo Alto and Newark.
Looking back two decades,
Schapelhouman recalled an hourslong
fight from both land and sea as fire-
fighters navigated unfavorable condi-
tions to extinguish the flames on the
railroad trestle. They were up against a
fire that overwhelmed 1,766 feet of
heavy timber soaked in a preservative
and known carcinogen called
Creosote, according to the district.
“The oddity of having a railroad tres-
tle on fire over water was unique and
challenging and definitely frustrat-
ing,” Schapelhouman said, before not-
ing his first reaction when he arrived
on scene. “I couldn’t believe it. I
thought, there’s no way this whole
thing is on fire. But, in our business,
you get a split second to be in shock
and awe, then you’ve got to do some-
thing.”
The cause of the fire has never been
determined and it was eventually ruled
as suspicious. Much of the evidence,
including clues as to where the blaze
first originated, was scorched before
washing away into the Bay.
Schapelhouman was working that
night in 1998 and said he’s been
reviewing old case files in preparation
for the 100th anniversary of the fire
district for which he’s worked for near-
ly 37 years.
“We never told that story and we
never released the pictures and part of
that was because of the investigation,”
Schapelhouman said before conceding
what caused the Dumbarton fire may
never be known but there is informa-
tion about what occurred that rainy
night.
A 911 caller reported a fire just
before 7 p.m. that rainy Saturday in an
area responders initially thought was
an abandoned building off University
Avenue near the tip of East Palo Alto.
But they quickly learned it was the
bridge that was in fact on fire and crews
