Redwood City schools delay election shift
Officials push off preferred map choice in favor of collecting more community input
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Redwood City Elementary School District Board of
Trustees held off on picking a new map subdividing the dis-
trict into trustee wards as officials examine a coming elec-
tion system shift.
The board addressed the matter Wednesday, Dec. 6, as the
discussion served as the most recent in a series of talks
directing the district away from its current at-large election
method.
Officials considered three maps defining different wards
where trustees must live to seek election under the by-dis-
trict system, but shied away from a choice in favor of further
examining the impact on the North Fair Oaks neighbor-
hood.
We did have some parent comments last night asking
about boundaries in the North Fair Oaks neighborhood and
were able to give the demographer a better perspective on
LOCAL
what defines that neighborhood, board President Hilary
Paulson said in an email Thursday. The demographer
should have clarifications at our next meeting. The board
felt it was too early to eliminate any maps. We wanted more
parent input.
Paulson said Superintendent John Baker will host a series
of community meetings over coming weeks with parents
discussing the initiative, ahead of further assessment of the
proposal.
Ultimately, the district plans to move from the current
system which rewards seats to the highest vote getters
joining other local school districts and elected boards
which recently adopted a similar shift.
Redwood City school officials started examining the tran-
sition earlier this year, but talks were accelerated following
a letter from an attorney attempting to compel officials to
consider the change.
Proponents of the by-trustee system claim it is effective
in assuring communities which historically may have been
marginalized are adequately represented on elected boards.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Meanwhile, critics fear it encourages officials to serve only
the best interest of their voters and not the general welfare
of the community.
Both the Sequoia Union High School District and county
Board of Supervisors transitioned from at-large systems
after being threatened with a similar lawsuit from a social
justice group claiming residents from certain communities
felt underrepresented in the elections process.
It has been noted state law favors the move to by-district
elections in the case of a legal challenge, as the California
Voting Rights Act states at-large systems cannot be upheld
should they impair the ability of minorities to elect candi-
dates of their choice.
Often districts or cities will favor adopting the shift
instead of battling in court from a disadvantaged position,
which can result in lengthy and costly legal processes.
A letter from attorney Kevin Shenkman advised Redwood
City officials to take on the transition, or face threat of law-
suit.
We urge [the Redwood City Elementary School District]
to voluntarily change its at-large system Otherwise, on
behalf of residents within the jurisdiction, we will be forced
to seek judicial relief, according to an October letter from
the Malibu firm representative.
The San Mateo County Community College District
Board of Trustees also recently approved a similar transi-
tion, but its decision was not compelled by threat of legal
action. The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary and South
San Francisco Unified school districts have discussed simi-
lar shifts as well.
Redwood City school officials hired the National
Demographics Corporation to lead the process for drafting
trustee area boundary maps, and district spokesman Jorge
Quintana said he expects a company representative to return
before the board next week with more information.
The demographer will use the information collected from
the comments and the questions and will provide revised
maps during the meeting and public hearing to be held next
Tuesday, he said in an email.
Quintana has said previously he expects the shift will be
finalized in early 2018.

the tightly packed Rancho

The destructive blaze broke out
as firefighters tried to corral the
largest fire in the state that was
burning around Ventura 130
miles (209 kilometers) to the
north and destroyed 430 build-
ings as it grew to 180 square miles
(466 square kilometers) since
Monday. Fire crews also fought
large fires around Los Angeles,
though they made enough progress
to lift most evacuation orders.
Like other fires that have broken
out this week, Fallbrook has a his-
tory of destructive blazes. Ten
years ago, as a series of similar
fires raced across Southern
California, a blaze in Fallbrook
injured five people, destroyed 206
homes and burned 14 square miles
(36 square kilometers).
Thursdays fire wiped out rows of
trailer homes in the retirement
community and left behind charred
and mangled metal where they had
stood.
The fire blew across six lanes of
State Highway 76, which was
closed in both directions.
Evacuations were ordered in the
area near the Camp Pendleton
Marine Corps Base and schools
and casinos were being used as
shelters.
Jim Peratt was in Las Vegas on
business when his wife called and
said she was rounding up their two
horses and evacuating their proper-
ty in Bonsall, a community of
4,000 amid the rolling hills of
rural San Diego County.
She saw nothing but smoke and
flames all around, Peratt said.
Im praying Ill have a home when
I get back.
Cars burn along with a home during the Lilac Fire in Bonsall.
As the flames approached the
elite San Luis Rey Downs training
facility for thoroughbreds, many
of the more than 450 horses were
cut loose to prevent them from
being trapped in their stables if
barns caught fire, said Mac
McBride of the Del Mar
Thoroughbred Club.
Horse trainer Scott Hansen said
he knows that some of his 30 hors-
es at the facility died.

I dont know how many are liv-
ing and how many are dead, he
said. I guess Ill have to figure
that out in the morning.
Most of the horses were saved,
McBride said, and were being
loaded to go to the Del Mar
Fairgrounds.
Some ranchers posted urgent
pleas on Twitter for help moving
horses, including Rawhide Ranch,
well-known for running riding
camps for children.
The fire and a smaller one 12
miles (19 kilometers) north in the
city of Murrieta broke out the day
after state officials sent an unprece-
dented alert to cell phones across
seven Southern California counties
warning that strong Santa Ana
winds could cause extreme fire dan-
ger. Although hurricane-force
winds predicted did not materialize,
firefighters faced gusts that fanned
flames and put thousands of homes
in jeopardy.
Along the coast between Ventura
and Santa Barbara, tiny beach com-
munities were under siege as fire
leapt from steep hillsides across
U.S. Highway 101.

flames, Wendy Frank said,

Fires flared up Thursday along

Oroville residents blast state over dam repairs

By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OROVILLE Living in the shadow of the
nations tallest dam, the residents of this
Northern California town had a complicated
relationship with state water managers long
before they were ordered to evacuate last
February amid fears that a broken spillway
would prompt catastrophic flooding.
Decades of frustration over broken promis-
es about the dam met fresh concerns about
small cracks in a newly rebuilt spillway
Wednesday at a public meeting. There, resi-
dents of the town of about 19,000 told state
officials they have no credibility when they
say the fractures are nothing to worry about.
Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday

Yuba City, about an hour drive south of the

Nearly 200,000 people had to evacuate

ed fears of devastating floods. The crisis was
averted, but concern lingers as the rainy win-

Crews shut down the spillway for inspec-

rain in the Feather River basin. With the main
spillway damaged and unused, the lake quickly
filled to capacity and water began flowing
over a concrete weir that serves as an emer-
gency spillway. It had never before been used.

State Senate picks female leader amid probes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO San Diego Sen. Toni
Atkins was tapped Thursday by fellow state
Senate Democrats to replace Kevin de Leon
and become the chambers first female leader
amid scrutiny over the Legislatures handling
of sexual misconduct allegations.
De Leon, who is challenging Democratic
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, announced
Atkins as his successor but did not say when
it will happen next year. Atkins will need to
be elected by senators but thats perfunctory
since Democrats have 27 of 40 seats.
Term-limited legislative leaders often
transfer power to their successor during their
last year in office.

States allege US failed Border crossings rising
to enforce smog rules in spite of Trump effect
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Fourteen states and the
District of Columbia announced Thursday
that they are suing the Trump administration
over what they say is a failure to enforce
smog standards.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency has not designated any areas of the
country as having unhealthy air, missing an
Oct. 1 deadline, according to the lawsuit.
Such areas must take steps to improve their
air quality.
Poor air quality particularly affects the
health of children, people with asthma and
those who work outside, said California
Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who led
and announced the filing. The lawsuit says
smog can cause or aggravate diseases includ-
ing heart disease, bronchitis and emphyse-
ma.

these standards, he said in a statement.

though, faces accusations of a pervasive cul-
ture of harassment dating back years, includ-
Vermont and Washington state. Minnesotas
Pollution Control Agency also joined the
suit.
The EPA said the agencys policy is not to
comment on litigation.
The suit is the latest allegation by
Democratic officials in California and other
states that the Trump administration is ille-
gally delaying environmental actions as it
attempts to unwind rules set under former
President Barack Obama.
Becerra, for instance, noted that he previ-
ously sued Trump officials for what he calls
an illegal delay of a rule encouraging
automakers to create vehicle fleets that meet
or exceed federal fuel efficiency standards.
Clean Air Act standards require that smog-
producing ground-level ozone be kept below
levels the federal government decides wont
affect public health. The lawsuit says the
EPA missed its deadline to say which regions
are not meeting the most recent standards set
by the Obama administration in 2015.
The EPA determined, in setting the ozone
standards, that the required reductions would
produce billions of dollars worth of health
benefits annually despite the costs of com-

Agents patrolling the river forming the

The election of President Donald Trump

45-year low for Border Patrol arrests.
But since bottoming out in April, the num-

border increased monthly, driven in large
part by the arrival of new Central American
families such as the Villagrans.

22,537 apprehensions at the southwest bor-
der in September, nearly double the 11,127

month for which the Border Patrol has pub-
lished its figures.
Border apprehensions have long ebbed and
flowed based on U.S. immigration policy as
well as political and economic conditions in
Latin America. Border crossings surged last
year, especially in November and December,
only to fall when Trump took office in
January. In December, the Border Patrol

other Republicans he said have survived much

WASHINGTON The House Ethics

the House intelligence committee on a com-

to again lead his panels probe into Russian
meddling in the 2016 election.
The Ethics Committee said in a brief state-
ment that it determined Nunes, a California
Republican, did not release classied material
while talking about information he had
received on a clandestine trip to the White
House in April. Nunes had stepped aside from
the Russia probe pending the ethics investiga-
tion and amid criticism that he was too close to
the White House.

FBI head defends agency against Trumps attacks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Countering strident
attacks on his agency from the president who
appointed him, FBI Director Chris Wray on
Thursday defended the tens of thousands of
people who work with him and declared,
There is no finer institution, and no finer
people, than the men and women who work
there and are its very beating heart.
Wray provided his first public defense of
the nations premier law enforcement agency
since a weekend of Twitter attacks by
President Donald Trump, who called the FBI a
biased institution whose reputation is in
Tatters worst in History! and urged Wray
to clean house.
The outburst from the president followed a
guilty plea from his former national security
adviser for lying to the FBI and the revela-
tion that an agent had been removed from a
special team investigating the Trump cam-
paign because of text messages seen as
potentially anti-Trump.
Wray, who served as a top Justice
Department official under President George
W. Bush and was nominated as FBI director

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Federal lawmakers are pushing the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission
to build a new bridge across the San
Francisco Bay, but state Sen. Scott Wiener,
D-San Francisco, says that funding could be
better used to build another cross-Bay BART
tunnel.
Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, and
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California,
sent a letter Wednesday urging the MTC to
construct an additional east-to-west bridge
south of the Bay Bridge to ease commuting
traffic, which has increased by 80 percent
since 2010.
The traffic demands on our streets and
transit systems have become intolerable,
the letter said. Quality of life is suffering;
and, our economy is not nearly thriving as
much as it could be if these transportation
challenges were addressed.
Senate Bill 595, which was passed by the
Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry
Brown, and Regional Measure 3, which is
set to go before voters in 2018, are expect-
ed to generate funding that could be used to

tion into Hillary
Clintons use of a private email server that
ended without criminal charges.
Although he did not mention Trumps crit-
icism directly, Wray rebutted him directly,
saying, My experience has been that our
reputation is quite good.
Wray sought to fend off the attacks on the
agency by expressing pride in the agents,
analysts and other personnel who he said
were working to protect Americans. But he
also conceded that agents do make mistakes
and said there are processes in place to hold
them accountable.
There is no shortage of opinions out
there, but what I can tell you is that the FBI
that I see is tens of thousands of agents and
DeSaulnier and Feinstein.
But Wiener wants to see that money allo-
cated to public transit, rather than moving
one car at a time across a toll bridge.
Whatever the merits are of another bridge
across the Bay, it is simply not as important
as building a second transbay rail cross-
ing, Wiener said in a statement this morn-
ing.
A second tube can mean more BART
trains running, including 24 hour service, a
connection between Caltrain and the
Capitol Corridor, and high speed rail to the
East Bay, Wiener said. That is how we are
going to reduce gridlock, not by building
another bridge that pours more cars onto our
highways on both sides of the Bay.
There are currently four east-to-west
bridges crossing the Bay, including the
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge that connects
the San Rafael area to Richmond along
Interstate Highway 580, the Bay Bridge that
connects San Francisco to Oakland along
Interstate Highway 80, the San Mateo-

said of the agency he has
led for just four months.
The FBI that I see is tens
of thousands of brave men
and women working as
hard as they can to keep
Donald Trump people they will never
know safe from harm.
The focus on the Clinton and Trump probes
reflected how the FBI in the last two years
has found itself entangled in American poli-
tics, with investigations focused on the
Democratic presidential nominee and the
Republican president and his successful cam-
paign. Those investigations have trans-
formed routine oversight hearings, like the
one Thursday, into platforms for tense ques-
tions about the political leanings of an
agency that prides itself on being removed
from partisan consideration.
Wrays defense of the FBI came after the
committees chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte,
R-Va., said he was concerned by reports that

CHARLESTON, S.C. A white former
South Carolina ofcer was sentenced to 20
years in prison on Thursday for fatally shoot-
ing an unarmed black motorist in the back in
2015, wrapping up a case that became a rally-
ing cry for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Michael Slager said he shot 50-year-old Walter
Scott in self-defense after the two fought and
Scott grabbed Slagers stun gun. They said race
didnt play a role in the shooting and Slager
never had any racial animus toward minori-
ties.
Still, Slager pleaded guilty in federal court to
violating Scotts civil rights. As part of the
plea agreement reached in May, prosecutors
dropped state murder charges. A year ago, a
state judge declared a mistrial when jurors dead-
locked in that case.
This is a tragedy that shouldnt have hap-
pened, U.S. District Judge David Norton said.
A bystander recorded the shooting on a cell-
phone, and it was shared around the world, set-
ting off protests across the U.S. as demonstra-

agent involved in the Clinton investigation,
was removed from Muellers team last sum-
mer following the discovery of text mes-
sages seen as potentially anti-Trump.
It is absolutely unacceptable for FBI
employees to permit their own political
predilections to contaminate any investiga-
tion, Goodlatte said. Even the appearance
of impropriety will devastate the FBIs repu-
tation.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, top
Democrat on the House Judiciary panel, pre-
dicted Trumps attacks on the FBI will only
grow louder as Mueller continues investigat-
ing. Your responsibility is not only to
defend the bureau but to push back against
the president when he is so clearly wrong,
both on the facts and as a matter of princi-
ple, Nadler told Wray.
Wrays tenure as the new FBI chief would
be difficult even without the intense scrutiny
of the Russia investigation. Since he was
sworn in on Aug. 2, the U.S. has experienced
two of the deadliest shootings in its modern
history and a terror attack on a bike path in
Manhattan.
Slager red at Scotts back from 17 feet (5
meters) away. Five of eight bullets hit him.
The video was seized on by many as vivid
proof of what they had been arguing for years:
that white ofcers too often use deadly force
unnecessarily against black people.
When the jury failed to reach a verdict in the
state murder case, many black people and oth-
ers were shocked and distressed, because the
video seemed to some to be an open-and-shut
case. Some despaired of ever seeing justice.
Scotts family testied before the sentence
was handed down and said they had forgiven
Slager.
Im not angry at you, Michael. Michael, I
forgive you, and Michael, I do pray for you
now and for your family, because weve gone
through a traumatic time, said Scotts brother
Anthony.
The shooting angered local African-
Americans who complained for years that
North Charleston police harassed blacks,
pulling them over or questioning them unnec-
essarily as they cracked down on crime. But
after the shooting, the Scott family successful-
ly pleaded for calm, asking everyone to let the
justice system run its course.

S&P snaps losing streak as stocks rise

By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK U.S. stock indexes
perked higher on Thursday follow-

Standard & Poors 500 rose for the
first time in five days.
Industrial and technology compa-
nies helped lead the way, as broad
swaths of the market climbed.
Nearly two stocks rose for every one
that fell on the New York Stock
Exchange, and the price of crude oil
clawed back some of its sharp loss
from Wednesday.
The S&P 500 rose 7.71 points, or
0.3 percent, to 2,636.98 and
snapped its longest losing streak
since March. Losses through that
span were modest, though, with the
index down only 0.7 percent.
The Dow Jones industrials average
rose 70.57, or 0.3 percent, to
24,211.48, the Nasdaq composite
gained 36.47, or 0.5 percent, to
6,812.84 and the Russell 2000

Bitcoin soars then falls back; banks raise risk concerns

By Ken Sweet

NEW YORK The price of bitcoin swung
wildly Thursday, rising to more than $19,000
only to fall sharply within minutes, as both the
euphoria and anxiety surrounding the virtual
currency escalated just days before trading in
bitcoin futures begins on a major U.S.

The concerns about its volatility have led

GE cuts 12K power jobs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. General Electric Co. will
cut 12,000 jobs in its power division as alter-
native energy supplants demand for coal and
other fossil fuels, and energy demand declines
overall.
The company said Thursday that the cuts to
both ofce and production jobs, will help
right-size GE Power in a traditional power
markets that is being upended globally.
The cuts, representing 18 percent of all jobs
at GE Power, will take place largely outside of
the U.S. Many will be in Europe, where other
energy companies have already announced
reductions.
GE plans to cut 1,400 of its 4,200 positions
in Switzerland over the next two years. While
no facilities are expected to close in
Switzerland, the company said the GE Power
Conversion unit in Berlin and GE Grid
Solutions in Moenchengladbach, Germany,
would be closed. GE plans to trim its German
workforce by 1,600 positions.
Other German facilities that may be impacted
are in Mannheim, Stuttgart and Kassel, the
company said.
Last month, citing disruption of unprece-
dented scope and speed, in power distribution
markets, Siemens announced plans to cut about
6,900 jobs worldwide, half of them in Germany.
While President Donald Trump has pledged to
revive the countrys beleaguered coal industry,
similar disruptions to the power grid are taking
place everywhere.
Power companies are moving away from coal
due to environmental regulations that are in
place or anticipated, and for economic reasons
as well. The cost of cleaner burning natural gas,
solar and other alternative energies continues to
fall.
That has had an enormous impact on workers
in the power generation industry.
Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in October suggests that the top-growing job
classication over the next nine years will be
solar photovoltaic installers. Wind turbine
service technicians came in at No. 2.
Most power generation in the U.S. is still
derived from fossil fuels, but the balance is
shifting.
The Trump administration has promised to
bolster nuclear and coal-red power plants,
even though those facilities are being retired at
a steady pace.
A number of former federal energy regulators
have come out against the administrations
plans, calling it a step backward.
Changing habits have reduced the power that
is consumed in most households, as has more
efcient technology.
GE said that reducing the number of posi-
tions, along with actions previously taken this
year, will help GE Power, based in Atlanta, trim
costs by $1 billion in 2018. GE is looking to
reduce overall structural costs by $3.5 billion in
2017 and 2018.
This decision was painful but necessary for
GE Power to respond to the disruption in the
power market, which is driving signicantly
lower volumes in products and services,
Russell Stokes, CEO of GE Power, said in a pre-
pared statement.
GE, based in Boston, announced in
November that it was slashing its dividend in
half and that the conglomerate would narrow its
focus to three key sectors aviation, health
care and energy.

Palestinians protest Trump move
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM Thousands of Palestinian
protesters clashed with Israeli forces in east
Jerusalem and the West Bank, demonstrators
in the Gaza Strip burned U.S. flags and pic-
tures of President Donald Trump, and a top
Palestinian official said Vice President Mike
Pence would not be welcome in the West
Bank, in a show of rage Thursday over the
American decision to recognize Jerusalem as
Israels capital.
Israeli forces were bracing for the possibili-
ty of even stronger violence on Friday, when
tens of thousands of Palestinians attend week-
ly prayers at Jerusalems Al Aqsa Mosque, the
citys most sacred Islamic site. In Gaza, the
supreme leader of the Hamas militant group
called on Palestinians to launch a new upris-
ing against Israel.
The Palestinians were blindsided by Trumps
move to depart from decades of U.S. policy on
Jerusalem and upend longstanding interna-
tional assurances that the fate of the city
would be determined in negotiations.
The Palestinians seek east Jerusalem, cap-
tured by Israel in 1967, as their capital. Israel
claims the entire city, including east
Jerusalem, home to sensitive Jewish, Muslim
and Christian holy sites, as its undivided cap-
ital. The opposing claims lie at the heart of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and have often
spilled over into deadly violence.

rage, shuttering schools and businesses, and
Tillerson: Ukraine sticking point in US-Russia ties
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA U.S. Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson said Thursday that Ukraine was the
sole sticking point keeping the United States
and Russia from forging a closer relationship,
suggesting that all other disputes were sec-
ondary.
The issue that stands in the way is
Ukraine, Tillerson said.
The assessment from Americas top diplo-
mat notably played down other areas of dis-
pute, particularly Russias meddling in the
2016 presidential election. U.S. intelligence
agencies, including the CIA and FBI, have
concluded the Kremlin interfered in the elec-
tion in an effort to help now-President Donald
Trump and hurt Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on that
finding, and a special counsel is investigating

We should be clear about the source of this
violence, Tillerson said. Russia is arming,

Trump campaigned on the need to improve
ties with Russia, Tillerson said, adding that
normalizing relations between the nuclear
powers was something the U.S. still badly
would like to do. He said that from the start,
the Trump administration had told Moscow
that addressing Ukraine was essential to
warmer ties.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON You wont find
Jerusalem, Israel, on any U.S. govern-
ment maps. Ditto for documents. And
despite President Donald Trumps recogni-
tion of Jerusalem as Israels capital, you
still wont.
A day after Trumps dramatic decision, much
U.S. policy on the disputed holy city
appeared largely unchanged. As a result, you
can forget about seeing Jerusalem referred to
as Israeli in any U.S. passport anytime
soon.
Trumps announcement may have infuriated
the world, sparked violent Palestinian
demonstrations and raised fears of unruly
protests elsewhere. But he maintained that
he didnt take a position on the boundaries
of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem or reso-
lution of its contested borders.
The State Department backed up that asser-
tion Thursday. It told the Associated Press it
doesnt plan to change several longstand-
ing policies regarding Jerusalem that were
carefully crafted to avoid offending one side
or the other.
Trump has directed the State Department to
begin the process of moving the embassy
to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. That move
wont happen overnight.
with their aides, the two said nothing of sub-
stance when journalists were allowed in for a
few seconds to witness the start of their meet-

Tillerson met later with OSCE special mon-
itors who track the security situation in
Ukraine including one injured by a hand
grenade. The secretary of state said hed made
progress with the Russian diplomat, though
he declined to tell reporters what it was.
We get dialogue, we get cooperation. We
dont have it solved, Tillerson said. You
dont solve it in one meeting.
The strained ties between the two countries
were also palpable in Moscows description
of the meeting. The Russian Foreign Ministry
said Lavrov had told Tillerson that aggressive
U.S. military rhetoric about North Korea is
impermissible. The Russian statement also
included an unusual allegation: that the United
States is trying to recruit Russian journalists
in the U.S. as spies.

to President Donald Trump.
The vote came as Trump and top congres-
sional leaders in both parties huddled to dis-
cuss a range of unfinished bipartisan busi-
ness on Capitol Hill, including the budget,
a key childrens health program and aid to
hurricane-slammed Puerto Rico, Texas and
Florida and, for Democrats and many
Republicans, protections for immigrants
brought to the country illegally as children.
In back-to-back statements, both sides
declared the meeting productive.
We had a productive conversation on a
wide variety of issues. Nothing specific has
been agreed to, but discussions continue,
said Capitol Hills top Democrats, Sen.
Chuck Schumer of New York and Rep. Nancy
Pelosi of California, ticking off a roster of
Democratic priorities, including domestic
spending increases, funding for veterans
and money to battle opioid abuse, immigra-
tion and health care.
GOP leaders promised help for immi-
grants known as Dreamers by their support-
ers, many of whom have only known
America as their home.
Spokesmen for House Speaker Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky. , said GOP leaders
stressed the need to address border security,
interior enforcement and other parts of our
broken immigration system, adding that
the tricky immigration issue should be a
separate process and not used to hold
hostage funding for our men and women in
uniform.
Negotiations are sure to be tricky. Pelosi
staked out a hard line Thursday and insisted
that any year-end deal solve the immigra-
tion issue.
The immigrants are viewed sympatheti-
cally by the public and most lawmakers but
face deportation in a few months because
Trump reversed administrative protections
provided to them by former President
Barack Obama.
Pelosi told reporters before the meeting
that We will not leave here without help-
ing the immigrants. Her stance was note-
worthy because GOP leaders are likely to
require Democratic votes for the pre-
Christmas spending bill.
Pelosi returned from the White House to
oppose Thursdays stopgap bill. Fourteen

Democrats supported the measure, however,
while 18 Republicans were opposed.
Among Republicans, the conservative
House Freedom Caucus had resisted the
pending stopgap measure earlier in the
week, fearing it would lead to a bad deal for
conservatives down the road. But on
Thursday, the groups chairman, Rep. Mark
Meadows, R-N.C., said the group will like-
ly give leaders whatever support they need
to pass the legislation.
Meadows said theyll help it pass to avoid
distractions from the GOP drive to push
their treasured $1.5 trillion tax bill through
Congress this month. That measure, which
mostly benefits businesses and upper-
income people, is Trumps and the GOPs
top remaining priority and would be their
first major legislative triumph of the year.
But hours before Trump was to bargain
with congressional leaders at the White
House over longer-term spending deci-
sions, Meadows said the conservatives
would oppose any agreement they feel
allows excessive federal spending.
I want to avoid a headline that says
President Trumps administration just pass-
es the highest spending levels in U.S. his-
tory, Meadows told two reporters. There
will be zero support on numbers that are too
high, regardless of anybodys position on
that.
He also said Ryan promised hed fight in
coming weeks to pass a full-year budget for
the military and leave fights with
Democrats over domestic spending for later.
It is unclear how that strategy would work,
since Republicans control the Senate 52-48
and will need at least eight Democratic
votes to pass any spending legislation.
The prospects for successful White House
talks were buffeted Wednesday when the
impulsive Trump blurted to reporters that a
shutdown could happen. He blamed
Democrats, saying they want illegal immi-
grants pouring into our country, bringing
with them crime, tremendous amounts of
crime.
Last week, an unexpected attack by Trump
on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., and Pelosi prompted the two to skip
a bargaining session that was planned then.
This time, the White House smoothed the
waters by following up with a more peace-
able, written statement. It praised Pelosi
and Schumer for choosing to put their
responsibility to the American people
above partisanship and said Trump was
anticipating productive talks between
leaders who put their differences aside.

Gay Australians celebrates the passage of a gay marriage law last month.
Australian PM rushes
gay marriage into law
By Rod McGuirk
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANBERRA, Australia Australias
prime minister rushed gay marriage into law
on Friday by gaining a final signature on a
bill hours after it was overwhelming
endorsed by Parliament and as the nation
started planning weddings that can take
place in a month.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull traveled
to Government House where Governor-
General Peter Cosgrove signed the bill into
law on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II,
Australias constitutional head of state.
Cosgroves signature makes gay marriage
legal in Australia from Saturday, when same-
sex couples who wed overseas will be recog-
nized as married under Australian law.
Couples who intend to marry must give a
calendar-month notice, making gay wed-
dings legal on Jan. 9, Turnbull said.
Neville Wills, 98, plans to marry his part-
ner of 39 years, Ian Fenwicke, 74, next
month.
Some practical reasons to marry become
pressing with age. Relatives have contested
wills that left estates to same-sex partners,
and gays and lesbians want rights to access
and medical consultation when a partner is
hospitalized.
The reason is to have a legal relationship
thats not in any way challenged and, of
course, we love each other, Wills said.
Well get the legal relationship straight-
ened out in January. Call it a wedding if you
like, Im not romantic, he added.
Turnbull described Parliament voting late
Thursday for gay marriage, with only four
lawmakers registering their opposition, as
a historic moment.
Containing my emotions to a suitable,
prime ministerial level of calm is quite chal-
lenging. I am absolutely pumped. I think
this is so wonderful, he said after
Parliament passed the bill and the public
gallery erupted with a standing ovation.
Celebrations continued late into the night
in Oxford Street, the center of Sydneys gay
nightlife which is in Turnbulls electorate.
Turnbull has been a long-term advocate
for marriage equality and is the first prime

minister to attend Sydneys renowned annu-
al Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which is
also in his electorate.
Hours after Parliaments action, a Sydney
municipal council offered free venues to
host same-sex marriages.
The Inner West Council is accepting
bookings for same-sex marriages in its
halls, community centers and parks at no
charge over a 100-day period from Jan. 7.
This is an historic day in the struggle for
civil rights in Australia, Mayor Darcy
Byrne said.
It follows the downtown Sydney munici-
palitys decision in October to offer free
venues for same-sex weddings should they
become lawful.
The Australian Capital Territory govern-
ment, which administers Canberra, the
national capital, introduced its own same-
sex marriage law in 2013 that was over-
turned by the High Court within a week.
ACT Attorney General Gordon Ramsay
said his government would waive the 55
Australian dollar ($41) cost of wedding cer-
tificate for any of the 31 same-sex couples
whose short-lived marriages were ruled
invalid and want to marry again.
Its a way of being able to acknowledge
the difficulties that some of those couples
have been through, Ramsay told Australian
Broadcasting Corp.
Anne-Marie Delahunt, who married her
partner Meg Clark in Canberra in 2013, said
she would take up the governments offer
when they marry again in February.
I think it was a touching measure from
the ACT Government to say that our second
marriage certificate will be free, Delahunt
told ABC.
Gay marriage was endorsed by 62 percent
of voters who responded to a national
postal ballot by November.
Most gay rights advocates believed the
government should have allowed marriages
years ago and saw various ideas for a public
survey as a delaying tactic. The U.N. Human
Rights Committee had called the ballot sur-
vey an unnecessary and divisive public
opinion poll.
Police believe Nagako Tomioka (NAH-
gah-koh toh-mee-oh-kah) was killed by her
brother, while the accomplice attacked
Tomiokas driver. The driver survived. The
brother then appears to have killed his
accomplice before taking his own life.
The motive is unclear.
Tomioka was chief priest of Tomioka
Hachiman shrine. The nearly 400-year-old
shrine is known for its close ties to sumo
and holding one of Tokyos three big Shinto
festivals.

Nassar should never again have

Bowman provides 49ers hope Garoppolo factor give defense boost
calming influence
on Raiders defense
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA When Oakland played Kansas City for the rst
time this season, NaVorro Bowman still didnt know all his
Raiders teammates names, much less a brand new playbook.
After stepping right into the full-time middle linebacker spot
that week just three days after signing with the Raiders, Bowman
has expanded his role each week and is making a big impact on
the defense that has showed signs of improvement of late.
Hes had a calming inuence, coach Jack Del Rio said.
He loves to play. You feel him on game day. Hes very
much in control. I think hes been a calming inuence for
some of our younger players.
That calming effect goes beyond some
of the younger players on the defense and
even to the coaches, who appreciate his
preparation and lm work during the
week to be ready on Sundays for whatev-
er an opposing offense has to deliver.
Bowman made four All-Pro teams during
his tenure in San Francisco before he was
cut by the 49ers in October. He almost
NaVorro immediately signed with the Raiders on
Bowman Oct. 16, and played all but one defensive
snap three days later in a 31-30 win over Kansas City that
ended Oaklands four-game losing streak.
With the Raiders (6-6) set to play the Chiefs (6-6) again
on Sunday in Kansas City with rst place in the AFC West
on the line, Oakland is glad to have Bowman patrolling the
center of the defense.
Since joining the Raiders, Bowman leads the team in
tackles, ranks second in snaps played on defense, is tied for
third in tackles for loss and has become a leader of the unit.
That calming inuence starts with me when youre com-
municating through the head set and youre able to get guys
calmed down, defensive play-caller John Pagano said.
Hes very soft spoken, but a very hard-hitting type of guy.
He tries to keep everyone calm out there to be able to focus
and breathe and play the next play.
While the Raiders won in Bowmans debut thanks to a
last-play TD pass from Derek Carr to Michael Crabtree, the
defense still was spotty. Oakland allowed 30.3 points per
game in the rst four contests with Bowman on board, win-
ning two of them, before ring coordinator Ken Norton Jr.
after a lopsided defeat to New England in Mexico City.
The defense has improved the past two weeks under
Pagano, although much of that success can be attributed to
getting to face backup quarterbacks Paxton Lynch and Geno
Smith in wins over Denver and the New York Giants.
But Oakland has also generated more pressure, caused
more turnovers and allowed fewer big plays in those two
wins that have put the Raiders into a three-way tie for rst
in the AFC West with the Chiefs and Chargers.
Bowman has been in the middle of the improvement, record-
ing Oaklands only interception of the season in the end zone in
the win over the Broncos and then recovering a fumble last week
after a Bruce Irvin strip sack against the Giants. No other Raiders
player has more than one defensive takeaway all season.

Marlins deal Dee Gordon to Seattle

Megan Trout (Viola de Lesseps) and Adam
Magill (Will Shakespeare) star in Marin
Theatre Companys production of
Shakespeare in Love.
Shakespeare in
Love hits stage
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Imagine historys greatest playwright
with writers block. How does he surmount
it? Through love, of course.
Thats the premise of Shakespeare in
Love, the movie-turned-play now at Marin
Theatre Company.
As the play opens in London in 1593,
Will Shakespeare (Adam Magill) is trying
to write a pirate-themed play called Romeo
and Ethel. He also has financial troubles,
as do some theater owners.
Thanks to his friend and fellow play-
wright Christopher Kit Marlowe (Kenny
Toll), Ethel becomes Juliet and the pirates
disappear.
Also helping in the process is a stage-
struck noblewoman, Viola de Lesseps
(Megan Trout), who disguises herself as a
young man so she can audition for the role
of Romeo.
She takes that tack because women
werent allowed on stage in Elizabethan
England. Instead boys played womens
roles.
Will is quite taken with the young man
and eventually discovers the ruse. They fall
in love, and circumstances lead to her play-
ing Juliet rather than Romeo.
However, there are complications. First,
Violas father orders her to marry Wessex
(Thomas Gorrebeeck), whom she doesnt
love. Second, Will is already married to
Anne Hathaway in Stratford.
Lee Halls adaptation of the screenplay by
Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard calls for
dozens of characters. MTC director Jasson
Minadakis whittles his cast down to 13
actors plus one scene-stealing dog.
Hence, most of the actors play multiple
roles, and most of them are Bay Area
favorites. Chief among them is Stacy Ross,
who is seen as Violas supportive nurse and
Queen Elizabeth I, among others. Everyone
else is noteworthy, too.
One interesting aspect of this production
is that all of the actors sing and play musi-
cal instruments, adding to the enjoyment.

The Ragazzi Boys Chorus will be performing at First Presbyterian Church in San Francisco Sunday after a recent Burlingame concert.

Chorus from whenever such a group is needed
for a choral work that somebody is putting

of innumerable modern settings of the

Where there is love, God is there. These and
a number of other warm choral pieces on the
theme of universal love, not all of them from
the Christian tradition, were performed by
four separate Ragazzi choirs, plus a fth
which is a subset of the most senior group.
Conducting and assistant conducting were

bubbly atmosphere was somewhat subdued, or
at least Nicole Kidman thought so when she
accepted a lifetime achievement award and
urged the crowd to loosen up. Joana Vicente,
executive director of the Independent Film
Project, which puts on the Gothams, was one of
the few to directly address the elephant in the
room.
This has been a tough year for our industry
and for the world, said Vincente. We would
like to take a moment to recognize and to
honor those women and those men who have
stepped forward.
But at the same time, the movies have given
plenty to celebrate. From The Florida Project
to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
Missouri, this years awards favorites are a for-
midable bunch, rife with timely social com-
mentary. Many of the most celebrated film-
makers, from Greta Gerwig to Jordan Peele, are
young, giving an awards season once dominat-
ed by Weinstein what many now long for: new
voices.
The continuing fallout has made sexual
harassment a commonly discussed topic on red
carpets, at press junkets and on late-night
shows places that are typically reserved for
more frothy banter. Sometimes, it has made for
awkward interactions like a recent episode of
NPRs Fresh Air , in which Gerwig was ques-
tioned by host Terry Gross about Noah
Baumbach, her boyfriend, casting Hoffman.
The interview, for which Gerwig was widely
praised, exemplified how the conversation
around sexual harassment in Hollywood can
overtake the spotlight reserved for the years
best films.
Even the most trusted staple of Oscar season
screening Q&As and panel discussions
are now potentially fraught territory. At an
anniversary screening of the film Wag the
Dog moderator John Oliver grilled Dustin
Hoffman over an earlier allegation that the
actor groped a 17-year-old on the set of 1985
TV film Death of a Salesman. Hoffman, who
has denied the allegation, is a possible sup-
porting-actor contender and Gotham Awards
honoree for his performance in Baumbachs
The Meyerowitz Stories.
One veteran publicist of the season, who
spoke on the condition on anonymity so as
not to influence any campaigns, acknowledged
that some clients have been coached to be ready
to discuss sexual harassment issues. But the
publicist said that the impact of the scandals on
the Oscar race has been overstated.
The film most perfectly poised for the post-
Weinstein moment is Martin McDonaghs
Three Billboards, in which Frances
McDormand stars as an outraged mother out to
revenge the rape and murder of her daughter. The
director has even imagined a face-off between
McDormands wrathful protagonist, Mildred
Hayes, and Weinstein. We all know who would
win, says McDonagh.
Yet, in the early going, two lively and pre-
cise coming-of-age tales Luca Guadagninos
Call Me By Your Name and Gerwigs Lady
Bird have been cleaning up the most. Tom
ONeil, the veteran awards analyst of Gold
Derby , said the early love for these little
movies with a big heart, as he called them, has
forced him to re-examine his initial prediction
of glory for Three Billboards.
Three Billboards won the highly predic-
tive audience award at the Toronto International
Film Festival in September. And many have
viewed McDormand as the overwhelming best-
actress favorite. But early wins have gone to
Saoirse Ronan of Lady Bird, Meryl Streep of
The Post and Sally Hawkins of The Shape of

had a little trouble singing at the same time. But for the most
part, this was beautiful and impressive work.
The ve settings of Ubi Caritas, scattered throughout the
program, were all beautiful and grew increasingly interesting as
they went along. Victor Johnsons, sung by the young Avanti
group, accompanied by piano, gave a slight canonic touch to the
material. The version by Maurice Duru, the great French organ-
ist, sung by the Concert Group and the selected Choral Scholars,
was more harmonic and melodic. The same performers gave one
by Josu Elberdin which lled the church with its volume and
astringent harmony. The oldest group, the Young Mens
Ensemble, sang one by Ola Gjeilo, a Norwegian whos one of the
most popular choral composers around today. His was soothing
and subtly complex. The concert ended with all the Ragazzi
groups gathered together to perform the Canadian composer Paul
Halleys fantastically complex setting, incorporating African
hymn, with African hand drums joining the piano in accompani-
ment. It was a glorious conclusion.
Other highlights included anthems by two of the great English
Renaissance composers, William Byrd and Thomas Tallis,
Another pair of pieces along with Halleys African explored
the theme of universal love in non-Christian traditions in their
original languages: Raghupati Raghav, a Hindu devotional
song, sung by the Concert Group and Choral Scholars with full-
bodied solo interjections, to an elaborate Indian accompani-
ment; and Zikr, an Islamic chant in Urdu by the noted compos-
er A.R. Rahman, sung by the Young Mens Ensemble, featuring
fast rhythms and bent notes, to the beat of a hand drum.
An intended singalong of religious Christmas carols worked
less well. A heavy hand on the organ made it throb as if this were
a religious service rather than a choral concert with religious
music in it, and the arrangements for the chorus were too com-
plex to leave the audience at ease singing along.
Overall, though, this was a great hour and a half of spiritually
uplifting music.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
PLAN
Continued from page 1
in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Any eventual improvements will require
regional cooperation as the corridor crosses
multiple counties, cities, state right-of-way
and numerous transportation agencies.
SamTrans, which owns the rail bridge,
opted to take the lead on the report after
Facebook contributed $1.2 million toward
reviving a study that has been kicked
around for decades. While there is signifi-
cant work ahead with each improvement
requiring more study and no funding current-
ly allotted toward the projects, supporters
were pleased to see the plan jump its first
official hurdle with the SamTrans boards
approval.
I think this is a truly potentially game-
changing plan. This is the first time weve
had anything of this size
and scope. Its going to
require a lot of help from
the private sector, to be
honest, if were going to
get it done. But I think
between the bus and the
rail options, we could
see a remarkable reduc-
tion in traffic conges-
Charles Stone tion and increase rider-
ship in public transit, which is a win-win,
said SamTrans board Vice Chair Charles
Stone.
Funding will be a key challenge, particu-
larly as the corridor has been left out from
other sources in the past. Dumbartons slice
of Regional Measure 2, the most recent
bridge toll increase overseen by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
was reallocated to other projects. Now,
Regional Measure 3 is in the works should
voters in the nine-county Bay Area approve
toll hikes of up to $3. But theres already
steep competition for funding and only
$130 million from RM3 is pointed to
Dumbarton out of the nearly $4.5 billion in
anticipated revenue.
We have a laundry list of job creators and
innovators here and the Dumbarton corridor
was overlooked in RM2 after promises were
made. I truly hope with RM3, that we see
substantial monies flowing to this project,
because it is a regional project, Stone said.
Other opportunities could avail from
Senate Bill 1, which included a statewide
gas tax increase.
The timely release of the plan aligned
with the Legislatures approval of an RM3
expenditure plan and helped renew focus on
the need for regional cooperation to address
LOCAL
traffic congestion.
The hope is that this plan will inspire a
lot of dialogue and regional focus on this
corridor and thats appeared to have hap-
pened, said Dave Pine, a SamTrans board
member and San Mateo County supervisor.
Missing link
Warren Slocum, an MTC commissioner
and county supervisor whose district
includes the western terminus of the bridge,
said its critical to build regional consensus
on the need for improvements in this south-
ern crossing.
Im convinced that this project needs to
rise to the top of the list, Slocum said. I
think this is the missing link, this
Dumbarton link is key for folks that have
migrated out to the San Joaquin Valley or
East Bay.
Slocum pointed to the recently released
California State Rail Plan that lists the
Dumbarton crossing as a positive indicator.
But he agreed driving continued support
from the private sector will be key as a
growing number of employees commute
from their East Bay homes to major job cen-
ters along the built-out Peninsula.
The rail bridge has the potential to link
train service around the Bay and beyond.
The study recommends first building a com-
muter rail shuttle between Redwood City
and Newark, which is estimated to cost
about $975 million to bring the defunct
bridge up to standard and provide dual
tracks. A second phase costing about $295
million would extend the rail into Union
City where it can connect with BART,
according to SamTrans.
That option could service 15,600 daily
riders and mark the first transbay rail since
BART opened its tube in 1974. In the
longer term, another $327 million invest-
ment could better interline Dumbarton rail
with other train services, including ACE and
Capitol Corridor, according to SamTrans.
More bus service could
mean worse car traffic
But with the Bay Areas traffic congestion
hitting urgency levels, the plan also looks
shorter-term opportunities to increase
throughput along the car bridge. Pine said
hed like prompt action on the expansion
of express bus service. That option, which
would include bridge approach improve-
ments to speed up bus service, is estimated
to cost $51 million with $12 million in
operational costs. That investment could
accommodate 13,700 more riders, a 34 per-
cent increase than those currently taking
the bus over the Bay at Dumbarton, accord-
ing to SamTrans.
Its very important to keep in mind that
we can make tremendous improvements in
the throughput on the corridor in the short
term with very modest investments, Pine
said.
But convincing people to ride the bus
may mean SamTrans is willing to worsen
traffic for solo drivers. The plan recom-
mends creating express lanes on Dumbarton
that would connect to managed lanes on
Highway 101 and plans to extend them fur-
ther north to Interstate 380. The managed
lanes would be open to buses, shuttles, car-
poolers and those willing to pay a toll. The
preferred alternative for Dumbarton is to
take away a lane of traffic in each direction
and create express lanes, which may
decrease capacity of the general purpose
lanes by a third, according to the report.
Another option considered was a single
reversible express lane down the center that
could switched to meet traffic patterns that
indicate 79 percent of commuters are head-
ing from their East Bay homes to the job-
rich Peninsula in the morning and back east
in the evening. That option would preserve
the general purpose lanes but could cost
more to construct. Either way, the car bridge
is Caltrans right of way and further compar-
ison would be required before decisions are
made.
Stone, however, noted his priority is get-
ting the most people across the bridge as
possible. Encouraging people to get out of
their cars and take mass transit is the best
way to accomplish that, he said.
We need to be able to move more people
through this corridor in a more efficient
way, Stone said.
Stone and Pine said they were also pleased
the SamTrans board assured a commitment
to bicyclists and pedestrians whove called
for a new multi-modal path. That option
will need further study as its not yet clear
whether there is sufficient right-of-way
along the train tracks that stretch from the
former rail bridge into the North Fair Oaks
community.

ANNIE
Continued from page 1
Overseeing the orphanage is the child-hating,
tippling Miss Hannigan (Annemarie Martin).
By chance, billionaire Oliver Warbucks (Ric
Iverson) decides he wants an orphan to stay in
his mansion for two weeks over Christmas. Hes
all bluster at first, but Annie softens him and
wins his heart.
From the plaintive Maybe to the upbeat
Tomorrow, the music by Charles Strouse and
lyrics by Martin Charnin are memorable.
Some favorites includes Its a Hard-knock
Life, performed by the orphan girls as they
scrub the floor; Little Girls, in which Miss
Hannigan expresses her hate for the kids; Easy
Street, sung by Miss Hannigan, her neer-do-
well brother, Rooster (David Blackburn), and
his floozy girlfriend, Lily St. Regis (Sarah
Thermond) and N.Y.C., sung by Warbucks,
Annie and Grace Farrell (Sarah Armstrong), his
secretary.
The latter song features the newly arrived Star-
to-Be (Catherine Rieflin). Some trivia: Martin
played that role in a 1999 production in San
Jose, and Iverson was in the ensemble.
Directed by Virginia Musante, the large cast
includes a versatile ensemble who play such var-
ied roles as Warbucks staff and the residents of a
Hooverville, the Depression equivalent of a
homeless encampment.
Performances by all of the principals are out-
standing, with special accolades to the poise of
young Mannion as Annie and the comic timing
of Martin as Miss Hannigan.
Opening night had a few technical glitches,
but none were serious. However, there were
times when music director Matthew Jon
Matteis orchestra overpowered the actors, espe-
cially during dialogue.
Costumes, hair and makeup are by choreogra-
pher Gennine Harrington.
It will continue at Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E.
Hillsdale Blvd., Foster City, through Dec. 17.
