$8M for ice rink sways council to reconsider

San Mateo allows shopping center owner SPI Holdings to fast-track new proposal
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Hopeful in the potential of a new regional ice rink, the San Mateo City Council
agreed to end a stalemate and fast-track consideration of a developers $8 million offer
in exchange for demolishing the contended
Bridgepointe Shopping Center rink.

Property

approached the council Monday night asking for a waiver to the one-year deferral
period it would have otherwise had to wait
before resubmitting another application.
In April, the council unanimously denied
SPIs proposal to amend the shopping
centers master plan and construct more
lucrative retail in place of the communi-

tys beloved ice rink.

This week, the council agreed to let SPI
resubmit since it significantly upped its
proposed contribution from $3 million to
the city and $1 million toward its Police
Activities League, to now offering $8 million.
Rink enthusiasts once staunchly opposed
to SPIs requests, are now willing to consid-

er the proposal should the funds be allocated toward creating a new rink. A recently
formed nonprofit, along with leaders from
local cities and the county are striving to
build another facility, noting access to this
unique recreation has been lacking since

Airport car rental workers strike

Police reports

Hertz drivers rally to stop layoffs but company says decision is final

Always the best policy

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Drivers facing layoffs from the Hertz car

rental company staged a work strike at San
Francisco International Airport in protest of
alleged unfair treatment from their corporate
employer.
The strike and rally featuring nearly 100
frustrated workers took place Monday, Nov.
7, outside the Hertz car rental office as drivers
who say their jobs are threatened chanted and
marched in solidarity.
More than 150 drivers, who shuttle rental
cars from remote parking lots to be available
for customers, were served termination
notices as Hertz has opted to outsource their
positions to a vendor specializing in such
services.
Fed up with the perceived unwillingness of
the company to consider postponing the layoffs for 90 days through the holiday season,
workers joined with representatives from a
local labor union to make their presence felt.
This is about worker power. This is so that
an employer like Hertz cant take advantage
of us, said Fei Fei, a San Francisco resident
who has worked for the local car rental agency
for roughly 20 years.
She said her concerns were compounded
because workers have struggled for years to
receive compensation for sick days or holidays as well.
Fei joined with many of her fellow workers
who banged drums, chanted, sang and waved
signs alleging Hertz engaged in racial discrimination because many of the drivers are
immigrants during the rally while bewildered
travelers scuttled through the airport.
For the companys part, Hertz in a prepared
statement said 90 percent of those losing
their jobs were offered new positions with
EDS Service Solutions, the company brought
in to manage the shuttle service.
Many of the workers are associated with
Teamsters Local 665, and union spokesman
Rudy Gonzalez said offers to meet with Hertz

to discuss the labor dispute have been

They wont respond to comments or meet
with the workers, he said.
Hertz though claims it has repeatedly
worked diligently to negotiate a contract with
the union, only to have those terms rejected
by the workers who ultimately severed ties
with the Teamsters Local 665.
Hertz was then left with a workforce that
had rejected three reasonable contract settlements and no union that had authority to
negotiate for them, according to the companys statement. After review and analysis of
the work performed by the transportation
employees, it was decided that the work would

be a better fit to be outsourced by a vendor

that professionally performs this work.
With her job termination seeming eminent,
Fei said she has not identified another future
opportunity.
There is no other work lined up for me,
she said.

Woman runs down three people

outside court, jumps to her death

Around the state

MARTINEZ A woman ran over her

estranged husband and two of his friends as
the trio left a family court Monday and then
jumped to her death off a bridge in the San
Francisco Bay Area, police said.
Several witnesses saw the woman speed up
and hit the three people outside a Martinez
courthouse. She was reversing the car when
she hit a female victim a second time,
Martinez Police Cmdr. Eric Ghisletta said.
The three were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries.
The woman, who had been in court with
her husband, then fled the scene and minutes
later jumped off the Benicia Bridge,
Ghisletta said. She was not immediately
identified, pending notification of her family.
The U.S. Coast Guard found the body of a
woman in the water under the bridge after
police received a call of a person jumping
off. The vehicle matching the description of
the one used to hit the pedestrians was found
on the bridge near where the woman jumped,
Ghisletta said.
Based on all indications, it appears it
could be the same woman, he said.

The East Bay Times reported bystanders

tried breaking the drivers-side window on
the womans car after the collision, but a witness said she sped out of the area. Witness
Christina Parson, 30, who was pushing her
friends baby stroller across a nearby crosswalk when the collision happened, said there
was no question about the womans intent.

Prosecutors: Los Angeles man

LOS ANGELES Prosecutors have

The Los Angeles County District

of murder, assault on a child causing death
and arson of an inhabited structure or property.
Authorities say Torres stabbed his daughter
after a fight with the childs mother on Oct.

North Hollywood apartment on fire, stabbed
himself and jumped out of a window while

Los Angeles says Hollywood

Hills parties have gone too far
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES So-called party houses in the Hollywood Hills that feature red
carpets, security guards and even wild animals are getting bigger and noisier, and
neighbors and city officials have had
enough.
The City Council voted last week to draft
an ordinance beefing up laws targeting
houses where gatherings attract hundreds of
people who often pay a cover charge for
entrance, the Los Angeles Times reported
Monday.
One recent party featured a lion, the newspaper said.
Neighbors complain about noise and say
the houses have essentially become nightclubs. They say congestion poses safety
risks on the narrow, winding roads in
upscale Hollywood Hills neighborhoods.
Oftentimes you would see this terrible
traffic where an emergency vehicle couldnt

get through at all, said George Skarpelos,

vice president of the Hollywood United
Neighborhood Council.
Danny Fitzgerald, whose four mansions
have been rented out for huge and controversial bashes, said hes changed his
leases to now include strict rules: No amplified music outdoors. No parking. No posting to social media. Violators risk losing
their security deposit.
The problem L.A. has is clubs close too
early, Fitzgerald told the Times. The people still want to party. They still want to go
out.
The new ordinance proposed by
Councilman David Ryu would expand the
definition of a nuisance, impose new fines,
allow liens on problematic properties and
temporarily prohibit the short-term rental
of any property found to be in violation.
The new law is expected to be written by
early next year.

FBIs test: Clinton email probe raises political doubts

By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The FBIs handling of its Hillary Clinton email

probe has undercut the bureaus carefully crafted image as unquestionably
outside the political fray.
The yearlong investigation thrust
the FBI into the thick of an already
fractious presidential race, entangled
in a way that strained its vaunted
independence and cracked its prized
reputation for silence about its work.
Even after Tuesdays election, FBI
Director James Comey is sure to face
second-guessing over his public
statements that opened the curtain on
normally
secret
investigative
details.
This has been a very difficult elec-

tion process. Unfortunately, the FBI

has been drawn into it, said Leo
Taddeo, a retired FBI supervisor.
Although Comey signaled a conclusion to the Clinton email matter with
a letter to Congress on Sunday, the
discussion continues. Lawmakers
demand answers to questions left
unresolved by two vague and ambiguous Comey letters. Clinton and her
aides feel wronged by the disclosure
of new emails less than two weeks
before Election Day. And ex-prosecutors of both parties are concerned the
bureaus actions strayed from its
mandate to steer clear of politics.
If Clinton should win on Tuesday,
could the investigation follow her
into the White House? Comey said
Sunday that agents had finished
reviewing all newly found emails to

and from her while she was secretary

of state and had found nothing to
change his conclusion from July
no charges. A senior law enforcement
official said the letter meant an end to
the email review, rather than a simple
status update. There was no suggestion any of Clintons aides were
being scrutinized, indicating the
investigation was again closed.
The speed with which agents
reviewed the trove of emails found
on a laptop belonging to Anthony
Weiner, the estranged husband of
Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide
suggested investigators encountered
many duplicates of messages they
had already seen.
Its hard to gauge the political
impact of Comeys recent announcements.

Janet Reno, former U.S. attorney general, dies at 78

By Curt Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Janet Reno, who was the first

woman to serve as U.S. attorney general but
also became the epicenter of multiple political storms during the Clinton administration, died early Monday. She was 78.
Reno died from complications of
Parkinsons disease, her goddaughter
Gabrielle DAlemberte said, adding that
Reno spent her final days at home in Miami
surrounded by family and friends.
A former Miami prosecutor who famously
told reporters I dont do spin, Reno served
nearly eight years as attorney general under
President Bill Clinton, the longest stint in
a century.
Her sister, Maggy Reno Hurchalla, told
the Associated Press that Clinton called
over the weekend said to tell Janet I love
her and that many others from her career
visited or called, including former Florida
governor and Sen. Bob Graham. Bill and
Hillary Clinton issued a statement praising
Renos tenure and President Barack Obama
called her an American original in his
own statement.
When Janet Reno arrived in Washington
in 1993, the city had never seen anyone
like her before and hasnt since, Obama
said. Her legacy lives on in a generation of
lawyers she inspired, the ordinary lives she
touched, and a nation that is more just.
One of the administrations most recognizable and polarizing figures, Reno faced
criticism early on for the deadly raid on the
Branch Davidian compound at Waco, Texas,
where sect leader David Koresh and some 80
followers perished.
She was known for deliberating slowly,
publicly and in a blunt manner. Reno frequently said the buck stops with me, borrowing the mantra from President Harry S.
Truman.
After Waco, Reno figured into some of the
Clinton administrations controversies and

scandals, including Whitewater, Filegate,
bungling at the FBI laboratory, Monica
Lewinsky, alleged Chinese nuclear spying
and questionable campaign financing in the
1996 Clinton-Gore re-election.
In the spring of 2000, Reno enraged her
hometowns Cuban-American community
when she authorized the armed seizure of 5year-old Elian Gonzalez. He was taken from
the Little Havana home of his Miami relatives so he could be returned to his father in
Cuba.
During her tenure, the Justice Department
prosecuted the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing case, captured the Unabomber
Theodore Kaczynski that same year and

investigated the 1993 terrorist attack on

New Yorks World Trade Center. The department also filed a major antitrust lawsuit
against Microsoft Corp. and Reno was a
strong advocate for protecting abortion
clinics from violence.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised
Renos integrity, and called her a trailblazer
and one of the most effective, decisive and
well-respected
leaders
in
Justice
Department history.
Lynch said Reno applied one test: to do
what the law and the facts required. She
accepted the results of that test regardless of
which way the political winds were blowing.

Miami U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer, who

worked for Reno in Washington from 19952000, said, Even if you agreed or disagreed
with her, you knew she was coming from a
place of integrity. He added, Through her
work, through her decisions, she exhibited
a lot of strength and a lot of courage.
After leaving Washington, Reno returned
to Florida and ran unsuccessfully for Florida
governor in 2002 but lost in a Democratic
primary marred by voting problems.
Born July 21, 1938, Janet Wood Reno
was the daughter of two newspaper reporters
and the eldest of four siblings. She grew up
on the edge of the Everglades in a cypress
and brick homestead built by her mother and
returned there after leaving Washington.
Her late brother Robert Reno was a longtime columnist for Newsday on Long
Island.
After graduating from Cornell University
with a degree in chemistry, Reno became
one of 16 women in Harvard Law Schools
Class of 1963. Reno, who stood over 6 feet
tall, later said she wanted to become a
lawyer because I didnt want people to tell
me what to do.
In 1993, Clinton tapped her as the first
woman to lead the Justice Department after
his first two choices also women were
withdrawn because both had hired illegal
immigrants as nannies. Reno was 54.
Its an extraordinary experience, and I
hope I do the women of America proud,
Reno said after she won confirmation.
A little more than a month of taking
office, however, Reno became embroiled in
controversy with the raid on the Branch
Davidian compound near Waco.
On Feb. 28, 1993, before Reno was confirmed as attorney general, U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents executing a search warrant made a surprise raid
on the compound. Gunfire erupted, killing
four agents and six members of the religious
sect.

Iraqi Kurdish forces advance as mass grave found near Mosul

By Balint Szlanko
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEAR BASHIQA, Iraq Iraqi Kurdish

fighters exchanged heavy fire with militants on Monday as they entered a town held
by the Islamic State group east of Mosul,
while troops advancing south of the city
discovered a mass grave containing some
100 decapitated bodies.
The offensive to reclaim the town of
Bashiqa is part of the broader push to drive
IS out of Mosul, Iraqs second-largest city,
relieving those living under its occupation
from the type of brutality, such as mass
killings, that the group has committed.
IS militants have carried out a series of
massacres since seizing large swaths of
southern and central Iraq in the summer of
2014, often documenting them with photos
and videos circulated online. On Monday,
Iraqi soldiers advancing into the town of
Hamam al-Alil, south of Mosul, discovered
a pit containing dozens of decapitated
skeletal remains, the militarys Joint
Military Command said.
The offensive to retake Bashiqa began at
dawn with a Kurdish barrage of heavy
artillery, Katyusha rockets and mortar rounds
slamming into IS positions, providing

cover for the advance of armored columns.
Smoke rose from the town throughout the
day, with large explosions sending dark
clouds into the sky.
We have the coordinates of their bases
and tunnels, and we are targeting them from
here in order to weaken them so that our
forces can reach their targets more easily,
said Iraqi Kurdish commander Brig. Gen.

Iskander Khalil Gardi.

Bashiqa, which is believed to be largely
deserted except for dozens of IS fighters, is
located about 13 kilometers (eight miles)
northeast of Mosuls outskirts and about 20
kilometers (13 miles) from the city center.
Iraqi government and Kurdish forces,
backed by a U.S.-led coalition and joined by
government-sanctioned militias, are fight-

ing to drive IS out of those surrounding

areas and open additional fronts to attack
Mosul itself.
Bashiqa has been surrounded by Kurdish
forces, known as peshmerga, for weeks but
Mondays push appeared to be the most
serious yet to drive IS from the town.
Kurdish forces launched mortar rounds and
fired heavy artillery into the town Sunday in
advance of the offensive. More artillery and
air strikes hit the town early Monday as the
Kurdish forces advance got underway.
On Mosuls southern front, meanwhile,
Iraqi soldiers advancing into Hamam alAlil, some 12 miles (20 kilometers) from
the city center, discovered a mass grave late
Monday containing some 100 decapitated
bodies near the towns agricultural college.
Most were reduced to skeletons, said Brig.
Gen. Yahya Rasool, the spokesman for the
Joint Military Command.
He said a forensics team from Baghdad
would investigate the site on Tuesday.
Earlier Monday, army spokesman Brig.
Firas Bashar said Iraqi forces had retaken the
town and images broadcast by the Lebanonbased Al-Mayadeen network showed soldiers hoisting the Iraqi flag on a rooftop in
the town. Other reports, however, said
fighting still continued and that IS fighters
remained in several areas.

Official: 40 to 50 buildings damaged in Oklahoma earthquake

By Justin Juozapvicius
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CUSHING, Okla. Dozens of buildings

sustained substantial damage after a 5.0
magnitude earthquake struck an Oklahoma
town thats home to one of the worlds key
oil hubs, but officials said Monday that no
damage has been reported at the oil terminal.
Cushing City Manager Steve Spears said
40 to 50 buildings were damaged in
Sundays earthquake, which was the third in
Oklahoma this year with a magnitude of 5.0

or greater. No major injuries have been

reported, and Spears said the damage included cracks to buildings and fallen bricks and
facades.
Oklahoma has had thousands of earthquakes in recent years, with nearly all traced
to the underground injection of wastewater
left over from oil and gas production.
Sundays quake was centered 1 mile west of
Cushing and about 25 miles south of where
a magnitude 4.3 quake forced a shutdown of
several wells last week. Some longtime
Cushing residents said Monday theyve
become accustomed to the unsettled ground

beneath their feet. Others shrugged it off as

a cost of doing business living next to an
oil hub.
Fearing aftershocks, police cordoned off
older parts of the city about 50 miles northeast of Oklahoma City to keep gawkers
away late Sunday, and geologists confirmed
that several small quakes have rumbled the
area. Spears said an assisted living community had been evacuated after damage was
reported. The Cushing Public School
District canceled Monday classes.
The
Oklahoma
Department
of
Transportation reported Sunday night that no

highway or bridge damage was found within a

15-mile radius of the earthquakes epicenter.
The quake struck at 7:44 p.m. Sunday and
was felt as far away as Iowa, Illinois and
Texas. The U.S. Geological Survey initially
said Sundays quake was of magnitude 5.3
but later lowered the reading to 5.0.
I thought my whole trailer was going to
tip over, it was shaking it so bad, said
Cushing resident Cindy Roe, 50. It was
loud and all the lights went out and you
could hear things falling on the ground.
It was awful and I dont want to have
another one.

Think globally and act locally

By Michael ONeill

Our home, planet Earth, is in

extreme crisis and most of us are
going merrily along as if there were
no tomorrow. Well, tomorrow
belongs to our children whose inheritance we are squandering.
The overwhelming majority of
experts who study the projected outcome of our runaway population
growth, soaring consumption and
the resulting dwindling supply of
finite resources, are pounding the
alarm bells change our ways now
or face catastrophic consequences.
Petrochemicals, most minerals,
fresh water and arable land are on the
decline. These finite resources can
never be replaced and we are consuming them at an alarming rate. We
have destroyed many of our natural
forests and have supplanted many of
the remaining ones including the
great biodiversity they support
with monoculture tree farms. Our
fisheries are being decimated. Our
population is three or four times
greater than what leading scientists
say the planet can sustain. At this
juncture in our history, we should be
totally committed to sustainable
energy and sustainable living.
Instead, we are heading for a cliff
from which there is no return.
In Belmont, the City Council has
introduced zoning regulations that
would expand the floor area cap from
3,500 square feet to 5,000 square
feet. This requires a huge increase in
both material and energy consumption. And its the opposite direction
from where we should be heading.
Thinking globally and acting
locally recognizes the interconnectivity and interdependence of our
communities environmentally,
ecologically, economically and spiritually. In todays crowded world, if
one community consumes more than
its share of resources, concentrates
more wealth, overpopulates or pollutes more than its neighbors, the
others will suffer. In this light, we

inBelmont are
already claiming
more than our fair
share. Not only are
we robbing other
communities of
their fair share, we
are selfishly
appropriating precious finite
resources from our own children and
future generations to maintain an
unsustainable lifestyle. Failure to
recognize this and take determined
action now is both irresponsible and
immoral.
The California Energy
Commissions 2007 Integrated
Energy Policy Report established
new building standards for residences to achieve net zero energy
levels by 2020. A net zero energy
building consumes only as much
energy annually as can be generated
with an on-site renewable energy
system. With three short years to
go, instead of moving closer to this
goal, the city of Belmont is recommending significantly increasing
house size the single biggest culprit in energy consumption.
The average new single-family
American residence in 1950 was 983
square feet and housed 3.8 people
(259 square feet per person). Today,
it is 2,505 square feet and houses
2.54 people (986 square feet per person). Houses have become much less
efficient over the years with such
drastically disproportionate size-tooccupant ratios. This is the opposite
of sustainable.
Normal size houses are almost
always greener than big houses. A
recent article in the Journal of
Industrial Ecology concluded a
1,500-square-foot house with
mediocre energy-performance standards uses far less energy for heating
and cooling than a 3,000-squarefoot green house with much better
energy detailing. Size for the sake
of size creates a vicious financial
and resource-wasting cycle. Buyers
spend more on their homes, more to

Guest
perspective
heat and cool them, and more on
resources to maintain them.
In the 21st century, the focus
should be on quality, not quantity in
new home construction. This means
real sustainable construction, not
the typical green washing. Green
building must become a far-reaching
instrument of change, not just
guilt-assuaging fashion. House
size will be the biggest factor.
Responding to these compelling
realities, I suggest that Belmont
adopt a floor area cap of 2,500
square feet for all new houses that
are not net zero energy. This is an
excellent place to start. With education and citizen involvement, we
have the opportunity to be a true
model for other communities. Let us
make Belmont a leader in population
stabilization, sustainable clean
energy and, as much as possible,
living within our means.
Rather than changing our zoning
laws to encourage overbuilding, lets
craft them to encourage energy-efficient standards such as passive and
active solar, water capturing and
recycling, and promote the use of
recycled building materials. And,
most importantly, lets say no to the
oversized residences that suck up
resources and thumb their noses at
our extended community and future
generations.
These are the kinds of considerations that can turn us away from that
rapidly approaching cliff. These are
the kinds of actions that will lead us
to be good neighbors in this rapidly
shrinking global village.

If we dont vote
B

eyond witnessing my mother work tirelessly at

two jobs during my childhood, it was quite evident that exercising her civic duty to vote was
among her highest priorities. I am reminiscent of the rst
time I learned the importance behind casting a ballot.
Driving me to school on election Tuesday, my mother rst
stopped by the local church to cast her ballot. Preferring
not to leave me in her car unattended, she brought me
inside the polling place. At 11 years of age, it was one of
the most unentertaining environments I had experienced.
Whats more, there was a line that stretched in and around
the large auditorium. After waiting nearly an hour for my
mother to cast her vote, I urged my mother to allow us to
leave.
My mother kneeled down and
patiently explained that this
was the only time frame for
which she could cast her ballot.
But you can vote any election
year, I sarcastically responded.
With a more commanding tone,
she said that this election mattered. Foreseeing my next comment, she cut me off in saying
that every election mattered.
She looked at me, perhaps realizing that my age and limited
experiences made it difcult for
Jonathan Madison
me to comprehend the importance behind her sentiments. Her words were lost in translation, but her expression said more to me than she could
have communicated verbally.
As I reect on my mothers sentiments, I am reminded
of the ancient philosopher Plato, who held that the price
of voter apathy is the election of unqualied individuals,
unchecked government initiatives and an unsustainable
path for a nation. The bottom line behind Platos belief
was that, without voter participation, a citizen forfeits
their right to have an effect on major issues of their
nation.
Take the single most important issue that matters to you
nationally, whether it is the ongoing war in Iraq, comprehensive immigration reform or the global threat posed by
the Islamic State terrorist group. Now, take the single
most important issue that matters to you locally from
an increase in local taxes to potholes in your neighborhood streets. I pose the following question to you: Did
you vote on one of the national and/or local issues that
matter to you today?
The answer is an important one, for it reveals just how
much we believe in the capacity of our elected ofcials and
democratic government to deal with these critical issues at
both the national and local level. More importantly, it
reveals just how much weight we believe our votes actually carry in elections.
We know our nations Founding Fathers believed from
our nations inception that with every vote, the American
people wielded great power in elections. Well more than
200 years ago, after our nations Founding Fathers met to
discuss and draft the U.S. Constitution at Independence
Hall, a curious and elderly woman tugged at Benjamin
Franklins coat as he was boarding his carriage in the
streets of Philadelphia. The woman asked, What government have you bequeathed us? Franklin replied, A
Republic if you can keep it.
Franklins last words indicate one message among others to keep our democratic republic, a government in
which power is ultimately vested within each citizen, we
must each understand our duty and privilege within our
society to exercise our voice in the democratic process.
Franklins quote also suggests that there are no guarantees
of freedom or democracy for those who do not exercise
their voices in that process.
In a presidential election year, it is easy to forget the
heightened responsibility we bear, not just for ourselves,
but for the future of our great nation. By exercising our
civic duty to vote, we can fundamentally change the direction of our nation for the better. We can make the choice
to reject the status quo, to elect individuals that truly represent our ideals and to embark on a path of collective
prosperity, sustainability and national safety.
Locally, a number of issues face the Bay Area and our
state. The Bay Area faces serious choices with regard to
education reform, proposed rent control initiatives,
prison realignment initiatives and proposed local tax
increases. Beyond that, our Golden State continues to face
the worst drought since 1977, and continues to deal with a
spike in property crimes.
You and I have an obligation, a duty if you will, to call
our locally elected ofcials, ask questions, demand
answers, report local issues and cast our votes in elections. As my mother said years ago, every election matters. That, my friend, is why your vote matters today.

Stocks notch biggest gain in eight months; oil up

By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. stock market rebounded from a nine-day losing streak

Monday, posting its biggest gain
in eight months and driving the
Dow Jones industrial average up
more than 370 points.
Financial stocks led the broad
market rally, which erased more
than half of the losses racked up
by the Standard & Poors 500
index since October 25.
The gains came as investors
mostly focused on the latest developments in the U.S. presidential
race a day before the general election.
The FBI announced late Sunday
that its review of newly discovered
Hillary Clinton emails found no
evidence warranting charges. That
appeared to ease the markets anxiety, which ratcheted up in recent
weeks over signs that the presidential race was tightening, triggering the longest losing streak
for the S&P 500 since 1980.

Global bond market grows bizarre

By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Italy has suffered

through bouts of inflation and a
revolving door of failed governments in the past 50 years, so you
would think it would have to offer
a super-high interest rate to entice
people to lend to it for the next
50. But in a bond sale last month,
it got away with just 2.85 percent,
half the rate it paid for a threemonth loan a few years ago.
Bond investors are supposed to

be rewarded with higher interest

rates in exchange for investing in
riskier borrowers, as well as for
waiting longer to get their money
back. They appear to have forgotten that this year.
Theyre lending to Ireland not
for 50, but 100 years, and at 2.35
percent. Theyve handed $1 billion to Disney for 10 years, at a
rate 1.85 percent barely
above inflation.
The Japanese, Swiss and German
governments are demanding more
money upfront for their bonds

than investors will ever make

back in interest guaranteed
money losers. Yet many investors
are actually buying them, figuring
theyll be able to sell the bonds to
others at an even higher price and
make a profit.
These so-called negative yielding bonds now total $12 trillion
around the world, up from basically zero two years ago, according
to Bank of America Merrill Lynch,
and have crept into popular bond
funds held in 401(k)s.
Its a crazy situation, said

Miami money manager Richard

Lehmann. The relationship
between yield and risk is totally
out of whack.
Whether all this ends in a bang
or whimper is dividing Wall
Street.
The whimper camp thinks low
yields are not so crazy because
inflation will stay low and so
wont eat much into the purchasing power of fixed bond payments. Your portfolio may not do
well, but it wont be the source of
the next financial crisis.

Tesla to end unlimited free use of supercharging stations

DETROIT Electric car maker

Tesla Motors has decided to stop

Business brief
U.S. consumer borrowing
rose in September
WASHINGTON American consumers boosted their borrowing in
September, a potential sign that
recent job growth and wage gains
have left them slightly more comfortable with holding debt.
The Federal Reserve said Monday
that total consumer borrowing rose
$19.3 billion in September to $3.7
trillion outstanding. Consumer
debt has climbed at an annual pace
of 6.3 percent, slightly below the
growth rates seen in 2014 and
2015.
Revolving credit, which covers
credit cards, posted an annual gain
of 5.2 percent to $978.8 billion.
The non-revolving category, which
includes auto and student loans and
makes up the bulk of consumer
debt, has risen 6.7 percent over the
past year to $2.7 trillion.
Roughly 70 percent of U.S. economic activity comes from consumers, so the increase in borrowing suggests that spending will
keep aiding growth.

Curry hits 13 treys to set new single-game NBA record

By Janie McCauley

OAKLAND Stephen Curry set an NBA

record with 13 3-pointers one game after
missing all his long-range attempts for the
first time in two years and the Golden
State Warriors beat the winless New Orleans
Pelicans 116-106 on Monday night.
Curry finished with 46 points, three days
after his league-record streak of 157 games
with at least one 3 was snapped when he
went 0 for 10 on 3-point tries in a 117-97
road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Warriors 116, Pelicans 106

seventh career game with
double digit 3s. He broke
the mark with 2:23 to go

the crowd roared.
The star guard shared the previous record
of 12 with Kobe Bryant and Donyell

Curry shot 16 for 26 overall in his first

40-point performance this season after
leading the NBA with 13 such games last
season. Fans enjoyed every minute of it,
chanting M-V-P! M-V-P!
Klay Thompson added 24 points as the
Splash Brothers looked far more in sync
from long range at last.
Kevin Durant added 22 for the Warriors.
Anthony Davis had 33 points and 13
rebounds for New Orleans (0-7), which along
with the 76ers (0-6) are the NBAs lone

teams still without a victory. Davis gave the

Pelicans a 73-72 lead on a turnaround hook
shot with 4:14 left in the third quarter.
Davis had 45 points, 17 rebounds, three

Sacred Heart Prep junior Cate Desler, left, and Half Moon Bay senior Hailey Merkes, two of the Central Coast Sections most dominant

Terminators collide
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Flying high is nothing new to outside

hitters Cate Desler and Hailey Merkes.
Desler is a junior outside hitter at Sacred
Heart Prep, Merkes a senior outside hitter at
Half Moon Bay. Both rank in the top 10
among Central Coast Section kills leaders.
And both are coming off victories in their
respective CCS Division IV playoff openers over the weekend.

In SHPs sweep of Terra Nova, Desler

scored a match-high 15 kills while racking
up a .542 hitting percentage, maintaining
her ranking of 10th in the CCS in total
kills. In HMBs five-set win over Soquel,
Merkes fired 20 kills to maintain her ranking second in CCS in the category.
And on the verge of the two dominant outside hitters meeting Wednesday in the CCS
Division IV semifinals, the two have earned
Daily Journal Co-Athlete of the Week honors.
Merkes may be flying higher than most

on the heels of Half Moon Bays five-set

win Saturday over Soquel. For the Cougars,
it was their first CCS playoff appearance
since 2010 and their first CCS playoff victory since 1998.
And for the fourth-year varsity senior, it
means tight-knit HMB with six seniors on
roster, including Gabbi Cozzolino with
whom Merkes has played all four years
lives to play another day on the varsity court.

Lady Scots fall in CCS girls tennis opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the sun set on the Lady Scots tennis

season, first-year head coach Scott Howard
marveled at the tenacity of his No. 3 singles
player Alyssa Nguyen.
With Harker (11-6 overall) having already
clinched an eventual 5-2 win in the Central
Coast Section girls team tennis opener
Monday against Carlmont (14-8), Nguyen
and Harker No. 3 Amanda Cheung played

into a second-set tiebreaker well past dusk

with neither backing down.
Harker actually clinched the victory on
the No. 2 doubles court with two matches
still in progress. Both matches remained
spirited to the finish, with Scots No. 3 doubles Pauline Sy and Dani Dinulos pulling
off a 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) victory over Sara Lynn
Sullivan and Emma Li.
Thats a point of pride for us, Howard
said of the Scots finishing their matches
strong. That means were mentally and

physically pretty tough.

Nguyen went on to fall 7-5, 7-6 (7-5). But
as she did, both players teammates sat on
the hill overlooking the Carlmont tennis
courts, 15 minutes after the sun had set,
cheering on the two as they closed the season.
For Harker a team with just one senior,
two junior and seven freshmen on its roster
the season continues, travelling to take
on No. 4-seed St. Ignatius Tuesday at Golden
Gate Park.

For Carlmont though, the elimination

loss ended a season of overachievement by
a team that touted just three seniors in its
playoff lineup.
This is a good result for us, Howard said
of making the playoffs. Weve got a lot of
girls coming back. I couldnt have asked for
a better group of girls.

This year is a different deal though. With
the inception of the CCS Open Division,
powerhouse Notre Dame-Belmont along
with Menlo School is playing there instead
of the Division IV bracket. That leaves SHP
owning the top seed in Division IV.
It definitely is a good reassurance of how
good we are this year, Desler said. We also
just cant take it for granted. Weve put so
much hard work in we cant think were just
going to slide through CCS. Weve got to
never give up and keep pushing through

Then there is junior libero Caroline
Caruso, who fired a career-high seven service

First-place Raiders head into bye week Kelly wont

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Two years after starting the

season with 10 straight losses, the Oakland
Raiders head into their bye week in a far different place: first place.
Fresh off a 30-20 victory over the defending
Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos that left
them all alone in first in the AFC West, the
Raiders now get the chance to rest up a bit
before the stretch run of a season they hope will
include playoff games for the first time since
2002.
After building a strong record with wins
against some of the lesser regarded teams, the
Raiders (7-2) stamped their arrival as legitimate
contenders with a complete victory over the
Broncos on a prime-time stage.
The offense controlled the line of scrimmage and ran for 218 yards, Derek Carr made
key plays in the passing game, the defense
shut down Denvers run game and harassed
Trevor Siemian all night and even the special teams got into the act with two punts
downed at the 2, prompting celebratory
dances from punter Marquette King .
I think it was closest, coach Jack Del Rio
said Monday when asked whether his team put
together a complete game. I think all three
phases certainly contributed in the game. They
had really good moments, all three. We see a lot
of things that can be better. Thats what were
going to keep working at. I dont know if you
ever reach that perfect performance youre
striving for anyway but there are things we
need to clean up, that we need to be better at.
Seeking improvement after a big win is a
far cry from where this franchise was as
recently as 2014. Oakland started that season
0-10 firing coach Dennis Allen after four
games and was often not even competitive
in games during Carrs rookie season.

Michael Crabtree and a defense that has

improved significantly in recent weeks after
getting torched the first few.
Thats all part of the winning culture Del Rio
is trying to instill.
Im pretty straight forward about it with the
staff and with the players about what were
looking for and what championship football
looks like, he said. Were just going to push
for it. It takes time to develop and to grow.
The good news is weve recognized where
these areas are yet were winning. Being able
to win and put that big smile on your face, go
home and feel good about things, lay your
head down at night but wake up in the morning
knowing you have work to do and there are
things that must improve.
The Raiders hope to get a boost from the bye
with players like right tackle Menelik Watson
and cornerback Sean Smith able to heal up from
injuries, other key veterans getting needed rest
and some potential help on the front seven from
two players who have been missing all year.

Graham catches 2 TDs, Seahawks hold off Bills

By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Jimmy Graham needed only

one hand to catch two first-half touchdown
passes from Russell Wilson, and the Seattle
Seahawks held off a late rally for a 31-25 win
over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
Seattle won its 11th straight Monday
night game behind a huge game from its
tight end. Still less than a year removed
from a major knee injury, Graham used his
right arm to catch a 17-yard touchdown from
Wilson on the first play of the second quarter and later used the same arm to cradle an
18-yard TD pass in the final moments of the

first half.
But the Seahawks had
to hold on in the final
seconds as Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor led
the Bills inside the
Seattle 10 in the final
seconds. Taylor was
sacked by Cliff Avril on
Jimmy Graham third-and-goal from the 8
and on fourth-and-goal
Taylors pass into the end zone fell incomplete.
Buffalo would not have needed a touchdown if not for mistakes by the officiating
crew at the end of the first half that cost the

Bills a chance at a shorter field goal. Dan

Carpenter eventually missed a 54-yard
attempt on the final play of the half, only
after Seattles Richard Sherman got away
with an unnecessary roughness penalty that
wasnt called and a delay of game caused in
part by the officiating crew standing over
the ball.
NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino
tweeted during the game that Walt
Colemans crew did not make the correct
call.
Graham caught all eight of his targets for
103 yards. It was his third 100-yard receiving game of the season. Wilson was 20 of
26 passing for 282 yards.

over 49ers
woes on D
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The San Francisco 49ers

came out of the bye defensively the same
way they went into it: allowing far too
many big plays and points in yet another
loss.
Despite having a defense on pace to be
one of the most porous ever in the NFL, San
Francisco 49ers coach
Chip Kelly sees no reason to make a change at
coordinator and get a
replacement for Jim
ONeil.
I dont think theres
one person responsible
for what has transpired
on the defensive side of
Chip Kelly
the ball, Kelly said
Monday. I think theres all of us have contributed to that.
There has been plenty of bad on the defensive side of the ball so far for the 49ers (17) as evidenced in the play in the teams seventh straight loss, a 41-23 defeat to New
Orleans on Sunday.
The Saints gained 571 yards with 248 on
the ground and 323 in the air, converted 11
of 17 third downs and met little resistance
from a defense that has been unable to slow
down anyone since opening the season with
a 28-0 win over the Rams.
After allowing 513 yards to Tampa Bay
two weeks ago, San Francisco was even
more generous against the Saints as the
team allowed back-to-back opponents to
top 500 yards of offense for the first time
since 1963.
The numbers are staggering.
The Niners are on pace to allow 520
points this season, second-most in NFL history to the 533 given up by Baltimore in
1981. San Francisco is on pace to allow the
second-most yards ever and to give up the
most yards rushing in 36 years.
I dont think overall the entire group is
playing good as a group, Kelly said.
Theres too many big plays that are occurring on the defensive side of the ball in
terms of allowing big runs and weve got to
do a better job of that.

The Saints gained at least 19 yards on
nine plays, including a 75-yard touchdown
run by Mark Ingram on a play where one
defender failed to slant to the left as the play
was called.
Execution is lacking on the defensive

shut opponents down, Kelly said. Weve

Cal coach surprises players with pregnancy reveal

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY After the celebration quieted and the meeting room emptied, California
center Chen Yue popped her head around the
corner to offer congratulations to her coach.
Chen, youre going to be a big sister,
Lindsay Gottlieb told the grinning, 6-foot-7
sophomore an only child from Beijing.
Gottlieb pulled a big surprise on her players after practice Saturday: Shes pregnant.
Oh baby, what a moment for these women.
Im going to be a big sister! Chen
responded, noting she and the baby might
even share a May birthday. Im so excited!
Gottlieb has been holding periodic bigpicture sessions with players, calling them
Lessons with Geezy. The theme for
Saturdays post-practice meeting was, fittingly, family.
After the players iced down and grabbed a

snack, they were greeted

on a big screen by the
message FAMILY ...
LESSONS WITH GEEZY

NOVEMBER
5,
2016.
Gottlieb
scrolled
through baby photos of
each player, coach and
staff member, and the
Lindsay
group guessed who was
Gottlieb
who. At the end, Gottlieb
began describing the youngest sibling in
the family and showed an ultrasound photo
of her own baby on the screen.
The image was met with confusion until
Gottlieb tapped her tummy and got emotional.
And the next one is the youngest sibling.
Can anyone guess the next picture? It is so
young. ... Its all your sibling, coming in
May! Gottlieb said, bringing her players

out of their seats in celebration.

I honestly feel to go through this with
you this season is going to make it more
special, she added.
The 39-year-old Gottlieb is 13 1/2 weeks
along, due May 9 and will welcome the baby
with longtime partner Patrick Martin. Her
Golden Bears will open the season Friday at
Saint Marys.
After the sly reveal, Gottlieb got hugs and
cheers from players some stunned, some
already suspicious given Gottlieb was sick
often during the first trimester. She held a
bouquet of flowers in her right hand from
director of operations Jill Culbertson and
held her left hand over her belly.
Stop! Thats not funny! Is this a joke?
senior KC Waters hollered from the back
row.
I called it! I called it! MiCole Cayton
yelled, the freshman guard repeatedly pointing at her chest.

Someone else offered an extra-loud

Congratulations! as they surrounded their
coach.
Gottlieb is in her sixth season guiding the
Golden Bears and finalized a contract extension last month that takes her through the
2020-21 season by adding three years to her
previous deal. She also went out of her way
to share her big news with Virginia coach,
former boss and dear friend Joanne Boyle;
former star players Brittany Boyd and
Reshanda Gray; athletic director Mike
Williams and mens coach Cuonzo Martin.
The news was fully out by Monday, when
Gottlieb went on social media to thank
everyone for the support and congratulations.
Before an exhibition game Sunday with
Westmont, forward Courtney Range stopped
Gottlieb as she was talking and grinned.
Sorry, the senior said, I see your bump
and I cant help but smile.

Artificial hand helps amputees feel just how hard to squeeze

By Lauran Nergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A next-generation artificial hand is letting two amputees tell the

difference between a soft or firm touch
like holding a child without squeezing too
tightly. Its another step toward developing
prosthetics that can feel.
Implanted electrodes allowed the men to
feel the same intensity of pressure in the
artificial hand as they could in their other
hand, scientists at Case Western Reserve
University reported.
To Keith Vonderhuevel, testing the experimental device meant finally cradling his 2year-old granddaughter without first taking
off his artificial hand for fear of hurting her.
Just to be able to touch and feel, its an
amazing thing, said Vonderhuevel, of
Sidney, Ohio, who lost his right arm below
the elbow 11 years ago in a job accident. It
feels like a light pressure. The harder I
squeeze, the stronger that pressure gets.
And while enhancing prosthetics with a
sense of touch will take lots more research,
the Case Western team is beginning the
next big step: Vonderhuevel and a second
volunteer can use the experimental hand at
home, not just the laboratory, to start learning if it makes a difference in everyday life. To Keith Vonderhuevel, testing the experimental device meant finally cradling his 2-year-old

Western researchers wired those nerves to a

prosthetic outfitted with sensors that let
Vonderhuevel and fellow volunteer Igor
Spetic of Madison, Ohio, sense different
textures. When the prosthetic sensors were
touched, they activated a portable stimulator that sent electrical signals to the nerves,
which detected textures like a cotton ball or
sandpaper.
Wednesdays study, published in Science
Translational Medicine, went further: How
to stimulate the intensity of touch?
Scientists didnt know exactly how
nerves fire in response to pressure, necessary for recreating the sensation with electrodes. But in a series of experiments, the
team from Case Western and the University
of Chicago learned how the number and frequency of nerve fiber stimulations adjust
with different amounts of pressure.
Our stimulation is as sensitive as your
real hand, Tyler said. Hes been gratified to
feel Vonderhuevel change from the wetfish handshake to the solid Im-interactingwith-you handshake. There is so much
information in the subtleties of touch.
Learning how stimulation can produce
more realistic sensations is a key step, said
University of Pittsburgh rehabilitation specialist Robert Gaunt, who wasnt involved
in Wednesdays work but is part of a team
developing similar technology for the paralyzed.
But hes especially intrigued by how the
touch-enabled hand will fare in at-home use.
This is an absolutely crucial step for
making systems that really work, Gaunt
said, noting there are scenarios a lab can
never replicate. Home use will provide an
opportunity to really see the benefit of sensation.

fondly at a campaign that has put each on
the brink of the presidency.
Clinton campaigned with confidence,
buoyed by FBI Director James Comeys
announcement Sunday that he would not recommend criminal charges against her following a new email review. The FBI inquiry
had sapped a surging Clinton momentum at
a crucial moment in the race, though she
still heads into Election Day with multiple
paths to the 270 Electoral College votes
needed to become the nations first female
president.
Clinton closed her campaign alongside
the last two Democrats to occupy the Oval
Office, Obama and her husband, former
President Bill Clinton, as well as first lady
Michelle Obama. In a nod to the deep divisions that await the next president, Clinton
said shed come to regret deeply how angry
the tone of the campaign became. She cast
the choice facing voters Tuesday as a test
of our time.
We know enough about my opponent, we

know who he is, Clinton said, addressing

tens of thousands of people sprawled across
Philadelphias Independence Mall. The real
question for us is what kind of country we
want to be.
Obamas address amounted to a valedictory for a president whose popularity has
grown in his final year in office.
America, Im betting on you one more
time, Obama said. I am betting that
tomorrow you will reject fear and choose
hope.
Trump, who sped through five rallies
Monday, recalled the rivals hed vanquished
and how far hes come since launching his
improbable candidacy. As he surveyed the
crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he
declared, Its been a long journey.
Still, Trump was aggressive to the end,
slamming Clinton as the face of failure.
Having made the new FBI review a centerpiece of his closing case to voters, he
argued that the Democrat was being protected by a totally rigged system.
You have one magnificent chance to beat
the corrupt system and deliver justice,
Trump said. Do not let this opportunity
slip away.
The comments were a reminder that
Comeys news, delivered in a letter to law-

THE DAILY JOURNAL

makers on Sunday, was a doubled-edged

sword for Clinton. While it vindicated her
claims that the emails would not yield new
evidence, it ensured that a controversy that
has dogged her campaign from the start
would follow her through Election Day.
Across the country, nearly 24 million
early ballots were cast under the shadow of
Comeys initial announcement of a new
email review. That number represents about
half of the nearly 45 million people who
had cast votes by Monday, according to
Associated Press data.
The inquiry involved material found on a
computer belonging to Anthony Weiner,
the disgraced former congressman and
estranged husband of Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide. Comey said Sunday the
FBI reviewed communications to or from
Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of
state.
Clinton tried to fly above the controversy
Monday, making no mention of the FBI during her rallies. She was closing out her campaigning with a midnight rally in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Clinton is banking in part on high
turnout particularly among Obamas
young, diverse coalition of voters to
carry her over the finish line Tuesday.

Roughly half the states with advance voting

have reported record turnout, including
Florida and Nevada, which have booming
Hispanic populations, a possible good sign
for Clinton.
In Florida alone, Hispanic participation
is up by more than 453,000 votes, nearly
doubling the 2012 level. Black turnout is up
compared to 2012, but that share of the
total vote is lower due to bigger jumps
among Latinos and whites, according to
University of Florida professor Daniel
Smith
In Nevada, where more than three-fourths
of expected ballots have been cast,
Democrats also lead, 42 percent to 36 percent.
Trump deputy campaign manager David
Bossie downplayed the impact of increased
Hispanic participation, telling reporters on
a conference call, We feel that were going
to get a good share of those votes.
However, he sidestepped two questions
about the level of Hispanic vote Trump
needs to win the presidency.
Without victories in Florida and Nevada,
Trumps path to 270 electoral votes would
be exceedingly narrow. He already must win
nearly all of the roughly dozen battleground
states.

Health care services

company lays off 60 in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. A health care services and information technology company has laid off 60 workers at its
Charlotte office.
The Charlotte Observer reported that San Francisco-based
McKesson confirmed the layoffs as part of an expense
reduction move involving its information business.
Spokeswoman Kristin Hunter told the newspaper the layoffs affected employees in sales, customer service and
information technology.
Hunter said about half of the workers will stay on the job
until March.
She said affected employees will receive severance benefits and outplacement services.
McKesson had said in June it was exploring strategic
alternatives for its Enterprise Information Solutions business that provides technology services such as electronic
medical records for hospitals.

RINK
Continued from page 1
Iceland shutdown.
I think weve had a number of folks
saying they would like to see ice in the community and that we have an opportunity with
this offer to create a regional, neighborhood
ice rink facility, said Mayor Joe Goethals,
according to a live video of the meeting.
Goethals and councilwomen Maureen
Freschet and Diane Papan voted in favor of
the waiver; councilmember Rick Bonilla,
who reviewed the proposal as a former planning commissioner, recused himself; and
Deputy Mayor David Lim voted against SPIs
request.
Lim said not providing the waiver encourages applicants to make their highest best
offer when theyre coming to us because they
know if they get denied, they dont get to
swing for another year. I dont want applicants to get the idea they can come into this
council chamber and lowball this council.
While the 3-1-1 vote allows SPI to reapply, the council wasnt ready to consider its
new proposition. In an unexpected twist, SPI
announced its interested in considering residential uses on the site one day. The council
agreed to speed the proposal by not requiring
SPI to go through a community meeting and
Planning Commission study session for the
ice rink and retail proposal; but not for any
proposal regarding housing.
An impassioned group of ice skating supporters have fought to preserve the rink

HERTZ
Continued from page 3
Ming See, a Daly City resident who has
worked at Hertz for over two decades, echoed
a similar sentiment.
A lot of people want to come back, but
now it looks like the company is cheating
the SFO community, he said.
For those who opted not to apply for a job
with the new shuttle vendor, Hertz claimed it
has offered career counseling, unemployment filing, resume writing assistance and
other support through the pending transition.
See said he is hopeful the willingness of
workers to unify and stand up against Hertz

thats been closed since 2013, but showed a

willingness to loosen their grip if the city
committed to helping fund efforts toward a
new regional replacement rink.
It is our opinion that should there be a
payment from SPI, the full amount, $8 million proposed, should be allocated toward
efforts to build the new rink. This is a difficult pill to swallow that the community is
being asked to give up on an existing rink
that was promised to the community years
ago, said Jeremy Verba, organizer with the
Save the Bridgepointe Ice Rink group.
Councilmembers emphasized Mondays
action did not inherently pave the way for
approval of SPIs request to amend the sites
master plan. Instead, SPI can resubmit an
application, which will be heard during public meetings before the Planning
Commission and City Council.
Although officials werent ready Monday
to explicitly commit funding toward the creation of a new rink that may or may not be
located in San Mateo, the Planning
Commission may be asked to recommend
how the council should spend money if it
were to permit demolishment of the
Bridgepointe facility.
While the council wasnt unanimous in its
vote, all voting members thanked the skating community for remaining diligent in
their activism, and to SPI for staying
engaged.
This has been a real painful project for the
whole community, Freschet said. Lets try
to move it to completion and lets see if we
cant get something for everybody that
makes sense.

Young brains, anesthesia: Big

study suggests minimal risks
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Anesthesia during early

childhood surgery poses little risk for intelligence and academics later on, the largest
study of its kind suggests.
The results were found in research on nearly 200,000 Swedish teens. School grades
were only marginally lower in kids whod
had one or more common surgeries with
anesthesia before age 4, compared with
those whod had no anesthesia during those
early years.
Whether the results apply to sicker children who have riskier surgeries with anesthesia is not known. But the researchers from
Swedens Karolinska Institute and doctors
elsewhere called the new results reassuring,
given experiments in young animals linking
anesthesia drugs with brain damage.
Previous studies of children have been relatively small, with conflicting results. The
new findings, published Monday in JAMA
Pediatrics , dont provide a definitive answer
and other research is ongoing.
The study authors and other doctors say the
harms from postponing surgery must be considered when evaluating any potential risks
from anesthesia in young children.

will cause the company to reconsider the

companys decision to fire the workers.
It is good that everyone is coming
together, he said.
Hertz though indicated though it will stay
steadfast in its decision and encouraged the
workers to accept a job offer from the new
employer.
We made the difficult decision to transition the vehicle transporter work at SFO to
an outside provider in order to remain competitive after the workforce turned down
three reasonable contract settlements,
according to a prepared statement. We are
working with these employees directly to
find employment with the new service
provider or within Hertz. It is our understanding that the majority of the workforce
has been hired by the new service provider
thus far.

The most common procedures in the study

were hernia repairs; ear, nose or throat surgeries; and abdominal operations. The
researchers say the operations likely lasted
an hour or less. The study did not include children with other serious health problems and
those who had more complex or risky operations, including brain, heart and cancer surgeries.
The research involved about 33,500 teens
whod had surgery before age 4 and nearly
160,000 who did not.
School grades at age 16 were less than half
a percent lower on average in teens whod had
one childhood surgery with anesthesia versus
the no-surgery group. Average grades were
less than 2 percent lower among teens whod
had two or more surgeries with anesthesia.
The researchers also looked at IQ tests
given to Swedish boys at age 18 upon joining the military. Scores were about the same
for those with one early surgery and the nonsurgery group; scores were less than 3 percent lower in boys with three or more early
surgeries.
The researchers, led by Karolinskas Dr. Pia
Glatz, noted that factors other than anesthesia appeared to have a much greater impact on
academics and intelligence measures, including mothers education level.

STRESS
Continued from page 1
having a space for people to come
together without talking politics but
having an option to participate in
activities that are fun and creative
would give them [a] brief time for some
sacred space, said the Rev. Michael
Arase-Barham.
The rules are fairly simple: theres
no talk of politics and no media noise.
The two-hour event will offer refuge
from the stressful rhetoric thats coincided with this years presidential election. Instead, visitors are encouraged
to be creative with adult coloring
books, Play-Doh or any relaxing
activity participants would like to
bring, such as knitting or a book to
read. The chapel will be open as a place
to meditate and Arase-Barham said he
would be there for anyone looking to
talk.
Aside from the obviously contentious presidential race, many local
voters have been faced with politically-charged decisions that created rifts
amongst communities. San Mateo and
Burlingame residents considered controversial ballots on rent control at a
time when officials contend the region
faces a housing crisis of epic proportions. In Belmont, voters are being
asked to consider a sales tax that led to
opposition between current and former
councilmembers.
I think we kind of have a pulse of
anxiety and division around elections.

STATE
Continued from page 1
he said Monday.
About 78 percent of eligible
Californians are registered to vote, the
highest percentage of eligible citizens
registered before a general election in
20 years, the secretary of states office
said in a statement.
California is not known for long
lines on Election Day and Dean Logan,
president
of
the
California
Association of Clerks and Election
Officials, said he did not anticipate
significant lines throughout the day
Tuesday. Logan, who is also registrar
of voters in Los Angeles County, said
polling sites will be busiest before and
after work hours.
But others said that this election is
different, meaning long lines are a distinct possibility.
Voter advocacy groups are on high

As Americans, weve often overcome

those differences after the election is
over with a peaceful transfer of power,
Arase-Barham said. If we put our
goodwill toward letting the system
work, than we can continue in a trajectory thats going to be positive and
less divisive.
This is the first time the Belmont
church has hosted the non-partisan
election night stress-free zone and the
goal is to encourage neighbors to recognize what they have in common.
Once votes are cast and the election is
a wrap, Arase Braham said keeping
commonality in mind will be key if
communities hope to unify.
I know its easy for myself and
other people to say things that can be
divisive. After the election, we have to
figure out a way to move forward from
those stands or positions weve taken
so passionately, and be respectful with
those with whom weve disagreed,
Arase-Barham said. I think most peoalert, worried about possible voter
intimidation stemming from GOP
presidential nominee Donald Trumps
repeated assertions that the election is
rigged against him.
There are also 17 statewide ballot
measures, in addition to local measures, that may take time for voters to
digest while they are inside voting
booths. And the state has a record 11.7
million people registered to vote by
mail, some of whom may show up at
polling sites unaware they have ballots at home that they need to surrender
before they can get a new ballot.
All of that may add to confusion and
long wait times on Tuesday, said Kim
Alexander, president of the nonprofit
and nonpartisan California Voter
Foundation.
There is huge demand, she said.
This is a good problem to have.
Voter advocacy groups such as Asian
Americans Advancing Justice will also
be on alert Tuesday, with hundreds of
volunteers trained to monitor polling

ple want to figure out how they can be

supportive of their neighbors and be
friends with their neighbors and create
safe and healthy communities.
While its important for people to
stay true to their beliefs or principles,
it doesnt mean partisan politics have
to leave rifts amongst neighbors.
With millions on edge wondering
whether Donald Trump or Hillary
Clinton will take the reins and lead
America for the next four years, its
been difficult for the public not to be
consumed with heated rhetoric, political commentary or influential media.
Having some space to get away
from that, even for a few minutes to
pause and be quiet, can be very spiritually healing, Arase-Barham said.
Visitors can stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole two hours.
Curating this kind of unity-oriented,
stress-free mindset can also help as
Nov. 9 may begin a time of needed
healing.
The more we can do to build relationships with people who disagree
with us, the better, Arase Barham
said, emphasizing all are welcome to
Tuesdays event. Its simply existing
in the same space a little while and
allowing that to be a container for conversation about other things that we
might find agreement on and that
might be less divisive, so that we can
begin building trust.

places around the state and make sure
voters some who speak limited
English receive proper assistance.
Trumps California campaign said
trained observers will report discrepancies to lawyers.
We are not using this to suppress
the vote. We are using this to make
sure everyone is doing the right thing
and to get their vote counted, said
spokesman Jon Cordova.
Paul Mitchell, vice president of
Political Data, said he expects counties this year to issue a large number of
provisional backup ballots to people
whose eligibility cant be immediately
verified. Those ballots are counted
after counties verify the voter is registered and hasnt voted already, he said,
which means close contests may not
be decided right away.
As a result we have to wait for a few
days for the papers to tell us who
won, he said. But the worse outcome
is to not let these people vote in the
first place.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Kenneth Tom
Case Number: 16PRO00409
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Kenneth Tom. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Kevin Tom
in
the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Kevin Tom be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The
petition requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority
will allow the personal representative to
take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal
representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they
have waived notice or consented to the
proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: 11/15/2016 at 9:00
a.m., Department 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in

Syrian Kurds make

small advances in
push toward Raqqa
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Syrian Democratic Forces fighters walk with their weapons, north of Raqqa city.

BEIRUT Kurdish-led Syrian fighters pushed ahead

Monday with an offensive aimed at isolating and encircling
the Islamic State groups stronghold of Raqqa, making
small advances in villages north of the extremists de facto
capital.
Warplanes from a U.S.-led coalition provided air cover for
the fighters from the Syria Democratic Forces, an alliance
of Kurdish and Arab fighters formed last year with the aim of
incorporating non-Kurdish elements into the mainly
Kurdish militia fighting IS in Syria.
The SDF announced the start of the campaign to liberate
Raqqa at a news conference Sunday in northern Syria, and
the United States, France and Britain said they would provide air support for the offensive, dubbed Eurphrates
Rage.
But the battle for the Syrian city, home to nearly 200,000
mostly Sunni Arabs and an estimated 5,000 IS militants
including many foreigners, could be long and costly.
IS fighters are expected to fight until the end, considering
that losing Raqqa would mean the extremist group would
not fully control any large cities in Syria, where a civil war
has been raging for more than five years.
At the same time, Iraqi forces are pushing forward against
Mosul, Iraqs second-largest city and the militants biggest
urban stronghold in that country.
SDF fighters needed more than two months earlier this
year to capture the Syrian town of Manbij, which is far
smaller than Raqqa.
Raqqa has been under IS control since early 2014 and is
home to some of the groups top leaders. It has been the
extremists self-styled capital since they declared a
caliphate in areas they captured that year in Iraq and Syria.
The U.S. commander of coalition forces fighting IS said
the Raqqa operation is aimed at eventually cutting off the
extremists from Mosul, where U.S.-backed Iraqi forces have
entered the citys eastern outskirts amid fierce resistance.
Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend said the Arab element of the
SDF is indigenous to the area and will help establish
regional support for SDF operations. His comments
appeared to be aimed at soothing concerns that Kurdish
forces would take over the predominantly Sunni Arab city.
A spokeswoman for the Raqqa campaign said the SDF as a
whole is half-Arab and half-Kurdish, but the 30,000 troops
fighting in the Raqqa campaign are 80 percent Arab. Many
in Syria are wary of those figures, and they fear that the
Kurds are aiming to carve out an autonomous state in Syria.

Aussie police search of woman yields a baby koala
SYDNEY Australian police have made an unusual find while
searching the bag of a woman who was being arrested: a baby
koala.
Police in Brisbane said that when they asked the 50-yearold woman if she had anything to declare Sunday night, she
handed over a zipped canvas bag that she said contained a
baby koala.
The woman, who was arrested on outstanding matters,
said she found the male koala on Saturday night and had been
caring for it since.
The woman was taken to a police station, while the koala
believed to be about 6 months old was taken to a wildlife
hospital in good health, though slightly dehydrated.
The baby koala weighs about 1.5 kilograms (3 pounds) and
has been named Alfred.
Hes been on fluids but is doing well and will shortly be
going out to a carer, RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty said.

U.N. climate chief: No doubt

world will shift to low emissions
MARRAKECH, Morocco Climate negotiators started
work Monday on implementing the Paris Agreement on global warming amid uncertainty over how the U.S. election will
impact the landmark deal as temperatures and greenhouse
gases soar to new heights.
U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa told delegates in the
rain-soaked Moroccan city of Marrakech that no politician
or citizen, no business manager or investor can doubt that
the world is determined to shift toward a low-emission,
resilient society.
So far, 100 countries have formally joined the agreement
adopted last year in Paris, including top polluters China, the
United States, the European Union and India.
However, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald
Trump has said he would cancel the deal if he wins the election this week. His opponent, Hillary Clinton, backs the climate policies of President Barack Obamas government.
