President Donald Trump’s demands for

A San Bruno gas pipeline exploded in 2010, killing eight people.
After years of complaints about
increasing traffic congestion and several
community workshops devoted to the
issue, the Foster City Council approved
a pilot program that it hopes will free up
local streets by discouraging commuters
from cutting through the city on their
way to the East Bay.

The council unanimously voted for the Traffic Relief Pilot
Program at a meeting Monday, but councilmembers did
have reservations, as did some residents living north of
East Hillsdale Boulevard who feel the new rules will make it
more difficult for them to get home.
The program entails left turn prohibitions from East
Hillsdale Boulevard onto Edgewater and Shell boulevards

those locations. The pilot will likely begin in January or

South City man gets prison for child porn possession
DAILY JOURNAL WIRE REPORT
A South San Francisco man found guilty of
possessing and distributing large amounts of
child pornography last month was sentenced
to four years, eight months in state prison
Friday, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorney’s Office.
Though prosecutors sought a prison term of
six years, eight months in state prison,
Matthew Wimer, 39, was denied probation
and sentenced by Judge Lisa Novak Friday
after he was convicted of several felonies in a
five-day jury trial ending Nov. 7. Though
Wimer addressed the court, Novak allegedly
noted the serious nature of the crime and said
there is something terribly wrong with
Wimer, according to prosecutors.
Wimer will receive 1,068 days credit for
time served and will be required to register as
a sex offender for the rest of his life, accord-
ing to prosecutors.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s popula-
tion grew by 215,000 people but is still shy
of 40 million, the state announced Friday.
The population of the most populous state
hit 39.8 million as of July 1, 2018, accord-
ing to numbers from the Department of
Finance that began in July 2017.
California’s population far exceeds that of
any other state; Texas ranks second with

account on a peer-to-peer
Matthew network website caught
Wimer the attention of investi-
gators, according to pros-

Investigators downloaded hundreds of ille-
gal files related to Wimer’s online account on
four separate occasions in April and May of
2017, confirming he was the registered owner
for the IP address connected to the account and
eventually obtaining a search warrant for his
home, according to prosecutors.
When they entered his home July 6, 2017,
they found Wimer with at least two electronic
nearly 29 million people, followed by
Florida and New York.
California’s growth was driven by about
200,000 more births than deaths and a net
migration of 21,000, meaning more people
came to the state than left. Inland counties
such as Amador and Placer, at the foothills
of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and

pornography files on them, collectively.
Some of the files were related to those on the
networking website and others involved chil-

prosecutors.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said he
supported Novak’s comments about Wimer
and his terrible acts. “This is a terrible crime
and he is a predator who needs to be locked up
to keep him away from our children,” he said.
Acknowledging prosecutors asked Novak
to consider a lengthier prison term than the
sentence his client received, Wimer’s defense
attorney Brandon Douglass said he felt she
exercised some restraint, noting Novak was
very thorough in her analysis and sentenc-
ing. Though he expected Wimer to appeal the
ruling, Douglass said he would not represent
Wimer should an appeal be filed.
“All things considered, we think it was a
reasonable result,” he said.

destroyed 38 homes in San Bruno. The util-

always damaged “Republicans who said, ‘By
God, we’ll show them.’ It doesn’t work that
way, it just doesn’t.”
Despite saying last week he’d not blame
Democrats for the closure, Trump and his
GOP allies spent the last two days blaming
Democrats anyway. Trump said now was the
time for Congress to provide taxpayers’
money for the wall, even though he’s said
repeatedly that Mexico will pay for it —
something that country has repeatedly
rebuffed.
“This is our only chance that we’ll ever
have, in our opinion, because of the world
and the way it breaks out, to get great border
security,” Trump said Friday. Democrats will
take control of the House January 3, and they
oppose major funding for wall construction.
Looking for a way to claim victory, Trump
said he would accept money for a “Steel Slat
Barrier” with spikes on the top, which he
said would be just as effective as a “wall” and
“at the same time beautiful.”
Trump called GOP senators to the White
House Friday morning, but Republicans said
afterward that the session did not produce a
strategy.
Early this week, the Senate approved a
bipartisan deal keeping government open

border security projects but not the wall. In a

Doctors performed a procedure called a pulmonary lobectomy on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Justice Ginsburg has surgery
to remove cancerous growths
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg had surgery Friday to remove
two malignant growths in her left
lung, the third time the Supreme
Court’s oldest justice has been treated
for cancer since 1999.
Doctors found “no evidence of any
remaining disease” and scans taken
before the surgery showed no cancer-
ous growths elsewhere in her body, the
court said in a statement. No addition-
al treatment is currently planned, it
said.
The 85-year-old Ginsburg is the
leader of the court’s liberal wing. She
has achieved an iconic status rare for
Supreme Court justices, and is known
as the Notorious RBG to some of her
most ardent fans. In recent days,
Ginsburg has basked in the warm
applause of audiences that turned out
for screenings of a new feature film
about her life.
Her health is closely watched by lib-
erals and conservatives alike. If she
were to step down now, President
Donald Trump would choose her
replacement, and further shift the
Supreme Court in a more conservative
direction.

Supreme Court rejects
Trump plea to enforce asylum ban
WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court won’t let the
Trump administration begin enforcing a ban on asylum for
any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined his four more liberal
colleagues Friday in ruling against the administration in the
very case in which President Donald Trump had derided the
“Obama judge” who first blocked the asylum policy.
New Justice Brett Kavanaugh and three other conservative
justices sided with the administration.
There were no opinions explaining either side’s votes.
The court’s order leaves in place lower court rulings that
blocked Trump’s proclamation in November automatically
denying asylum to people who enter the country from
Mexico without going through official border crossings.
Trump said he was acting in response to caravans of
migrants making their way to the border.
The administration had also complained that the nation-
wide order preventing the policy from taking effect was too
broad. But the court also rejected the administration’s sug-
gestion for narrowing it.
Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union leading
the court challenge, said the high court’s decision “will save
lives and keep vulnerable families and children from perse-
cution. We are pleased the court refused to allow the admin-
istration to short-circuit the usual appellate process.”
Trump signs sweeping criminal justice bill
WASHINGTON — With a government shutdown just hours
away, President Donald Trump on Friday signed rare biparti-
san legislation addressing concerns with the criminal jus-
tice system.
Trump called the bill “an incredible success for our coun-
try” and “beyond bipartisan” during an Oval Office signing
ceremony.
Lawmakers and advocates also hailed it as a hugely influ-
ential package and thanked the president for supporting the
issue.
The legislation will give judges more discretion when sen-
tencing some drug offenders and will boost prisoner rehabil-
itation efforts, among other efforts.
It received the rare support of both Democratic and
Republican lawmakers as well as conservative and liberal
groups that rarely work together.
Playing a key role behind the scenes was Trump’s son-in-
law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, whose father spent
time in federal prison when he was younger.

Trump call with Turkish leader
led to US pullout from Syria
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump’s decision to withdraw American
troops from Syria was made hastily, without
consulting his national security team or
allies, and over strong objections from vir-
tually everyone involved in the fight
against the Islamic State group, according
to U.S. and Turkish officials.
Trump stunned his Cabinet, lawmakers
and much of the world with the move by
rejecting the advice of his top aides and
agreeing to a withdrawal in a phone call
with Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan last week, two U.S. officials and a
Turkish official briefed on the matter told
the Associated Press.
The Dec. 14 call, described by officials
who were not authorized to discuss the deci-
sion-making process publicly and spoke on
condition of anonymity, provides insight
into a consequential Trump decision that

Iraq receives 90-day
extension to Iran sanctions waiver
BAGHDAD — The U.S. has granted Iraq a
90-day Iran sanctions waiver to allow it to
continue to import electricity from Tehran,
the State Department told the Associated

repair and does not generate enough electric-
ity to meet domestic demand. U.S. sanctions
that went into effect in November have
threatened to cut the country off from its
chief supplier, Iran.
The U.S. initially granted Iraq a 45-day
waiver to allow it carry on buying electrici-
ty and gas from its neighbor while arranging
for new suppliers. Iraq will now have anoth-
er 90 days where it can continue to pay for
electricity imports, the State Department’s

ic.
“In no uncertain terms, reporting

New asylum policy comes

TIJUANA, Mexico — The Trump adminis-

wait in Mexico while their cases wind
through clogged U.S. courts was announced
with crucial details still unknown — a
move that creates uncertainty along the bor-

The policy shift would force asylum seek-

Passengers wait in the South Terminal building at Gatwick Airport after the airport reopened
to flights following its forced closure because of drone activity in Gatwick, Britain.
London’s Gatwick Airport
plaguedby drone sightings
By Gregory Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — New drone sightings Friday
caused fresh chaos for holiday travelers at
London’s Gatwick Airport, which reopened
in the morning after a 36-hour shutdown
only to hastily suspend flights for more
than an hour in the late afternoon on one of
the busiest travel days of the year.
The reopening, closing and re-reopening
of Britain’s second-busiest airport due to
repeated drone sightings raised a host of
questions for British officials. Those
included how safe is it really to fly with
drones around and why can’t the country’s
police, military and aviation experts catch
those responsible since they have been
investigating the drone invasions since
Wednesday night.
The Friday night flight suspension at
Gatwick caused still more delays and cancel-
lations just as the holiday travel season
peaked. Tens of thousands of travelers have
been stranded or delayed due to the persist-
ent drone crisis at Gatwick, located 30 miles
south of London.
The latest drone sighting came after

extra measures had been put in place to pre-

vent drones from intruding on the airport,
which serves 43 million passengers a year.
Military forces with special equipment
have been brought in and police units are
working around-the-clock, but the culprit or
culprits have not been found. Police say a
sophisticated drone operation is targeting
the airport to cause maximum disruption
during the holiday rush.
The motive for the drone invasion wasn’t
clear but British police said there are no
indications it was “terror related.”
Gatwick reopened at about 6 a.m. Friday
after having been shut down Wednesday
night and all day Thursday after authorities
said drones repeatedly violated the airport
perimeter, threatening the safely of incom-
ing and outgoing planes.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said
Friday morning there had been about 40
sightings of “a small number of drones”
while the airport was shut down. He told the
BBC that the drone disruption at Gatwick
was “unprecedented anywhere in the world.”
Grayling said additional “military capa-
bilities” and a range of security measures
had been put in place overnight but would
not elaborate. He said the airport was con-
sidered safe for flights Friday even though
the drone operator or operators had not been
apprehended.

Game night

uch of what I learned in life
came from playing games.
It started with Rummy with
a babysitter. War, Uno, Phase 10, Go
Fish and Hearts (my minor in college,
I joke), all helped me understand sta-
tistics, mathematics, patterns and
logic. Besides card games,
Monopoly, Risk and the new favorite,
Settlers of Catan, captivated my
household when I was a kid and
remain addicting now that I am a larg-
er kid. Over Thanksgiving, when our
Stratego game was interrupted after
two hours by dinner, the rest of the
family begged my oldest son and I to
stop arguing about who would have
won had the game been “allowed” to
continue.  While I usually implore my
children to go to bed, if it’s game
night and I haven’t won, the night
doesn’t end until I do. We’ve had some
very late nights indeed!

All wrapped up
L
ately I’ve been wrapping a lot of presents, and in
less than a week I’ll be unwrapping others. In
between, I’ll be enjoying the sight of gaily
wrapped packages under our Christmas tree. Wrapped pres-
ents, whether for a holiday, a birthday or some other signif-
icant event are exciting; they have an air of mystery that
gives way to delight when opened.
For many years, Redwood City and other Peninsula com-
munities have received wrapped presents of a different kind.
As is customary these days, when erecting or demolishing a
building the property is first “wrapped” in a chain-link con-
struction fence covered by a mesh privacy screen. If the
project requires scaffolding, that scaffolding is covered by
scaffold netting, which further makes the building look like
a gigantic wrapped present. Scaffold netting protects work-
ers and passersby, but cloaks the building during the later
phases of construction. Removal of that netting is like
unwrapping a present, allowing us to finally see and enjoy
the finished product.
Privacy screens and scaffold
netting tend to frustrate the curi-
ous; I wish they weren’t needed.
For me they have one positive
aspect, however: Their bright
colors draw my attention, sig-
naling that a project long in the
planning and approval stages
has finally broken ground.
This week I took a stroll
through Redwood City’s new
Sports Basement store (where
Toys R Us used to be). As I was
in the area, I decided to check up Greg Wilson
on nearby Docktown. Back in May, the Redwood City
Council approved a 131-unit townhouse project on the par-
cel adjacent to Docktown Marina, but until recently there’s
been no visible activity. On this visit, I discovered that
construction privacy fencing now wraps most of the rough-
ly 8-acre parcel, some of the paving that used to cover
much of the site has been torn up, and the Docktown
Marina sign that once graced Highway 101 has vanished.
Docktown Marina sits on Redwood Creek, and once
housed a sizable community of floating homes. For a vari-
ety of reasons, in 2016, Redwood City concluded that to
allow full public access to the creek, residential uses at
Docktown Marina had to end. Accordingly, through a con-
sultant, the city developed and implemented a plan to help
Docktown residents relocate.
For one, although the boat slips are on the water, the land
immediately adjacent to those slips is privately owned, and
thus subject to the whims of the property owner. Until now,
that land was used as vehicle storage by local automobile
dealerships; as a parking lot for Docktown Marina resi-
dents; and to house the harbormaster’s office, the Peninsula
Yacht Club (a clubhouse built beneath the historic water
tank), and a building containing a marine repair shop, laun-
dromat and restrooms.
To no one’s surprise, several years ago, the property’s
owner decided to put their land to more profitable use. In
May, they obtained final approval for their townhouse com-
plex, but only within the last weeks did the current owner,
Strada Development Group, put up construction fencing
around their property. Just this week, the City Council met
with representatives from San Mateo County, presumably
to work out terms for the land exchange needed to extend
Blomquist Street around this development, from Maple
Street to Redwood Creek’s “bridge to nowhere.”
For years, I’ve walked up Maple Street and through
Docktown to safely get to the vicinity of Bair Island and
Pete’s Harbor (now the Blu Harbor apartment complex).
This week, the construction fences forced me to instead
walk the Strada project’s perimeter, from where I observed
that the land clearing had commenced. Walking to a differ-
ent viewpoint across the water, I noted how difficult life for
Docktown Marina’s dozen or so remaining households must
now be. The vast majority of their parking lot is now inac-
cessible, as is the clubhouse, harbormaster’s office, and the
laundry and restroom facility. And finally, there seems to be
only one ramp providing access to the boat slips, down
toward the northeast end of the marina.
These days, the great majority of Docktown Marina’s
boats and barge-based homes are locked and empty, await-
ing demolition or, hopefully, a sale. Ongoing lawsuits by
former and remaining residents keep Docktown’s fate up in
the air, but even if it survives, thanks to the giant wrapped
“present” next door, life at Docktown will never be the
same. When it is finally unwrapped, though, Redwood City
will have gained another large housing development on the
water. Even those of us who won’t necessarily live there
will benefit. The project includes new public roads, a nice
addition to the Bay Trail, a small waterside park and a
launch ramp for human-powered craft. Thus I, for one, look
forward to seeing this particular “present” unwrapped.

A decadelong rally on Wall

Street looks like it’s ending
By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After almost 10
years, Wall Street’s rally looks
like it’s ending.
Another day of big losses
Friday left the U.S. market with
its worst week in more than seven
years. All of the major indexes
have lost 16 to 26 percent from
their highs this summer and fall.
Barring huge gains during the
upcoming holiday period, this
will be the worst December for
stocks since 1931.
There hasn’t been one major
shock that has sent stocks plung-
ing. The U.S. economy has been
growing since 2009, and most
experts think it will keep expand-
ing for now. But it’s likely to do
so at a slower pace.
As they look ahead, investors
are finding more and more reasons
to worry. The U. S. has been
locked in a trade dispute with
China for nine months.
Economies in Europe and China
are slowing. And rising interest
rates in the U.S. could slow its
economy even more.
Dysfunction in Washington
isn’t helping the situation, with
another Trump administration

Stocks are now headed for their

Breaking up (with Facebook) is hard to do: Here’s how

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Every relationship has a
breaking point. Even yours with Facebook.
There’s a way out, though the social net-
work will try to win you back with promises
to do better. Maybe even flowers.
For some users, though, the past two years
of privacy scandals, election manipulation
by Russian trolls, executive apologies and
even the political disagreements with friends
and relatives have become too much. The lat-
est: an alarming New York Times report
detailing the massive trove of user data that
the company has shared with such compa-
nies as Apple, Netflix and Amazon.
A growing number of people say they are
deleting Facebook, or at least considering it.
While Facebook has tried to address some
of these problems, it’s not enough for some
users. Hard as it might seem to quit, especial-
ly for those entwined with it for years, it can
be done.
Mostly.
GOODBYE FOREVER
Before deleting your account, rescue your
posts and photos. Facebook lets you down-
load the data you’ve shared with Facebook
since you joined. This includes your posts
and photos, as well as the “activity log” —
the history of everything you’ve done on
Facebook, such as likes and comments on
posts, use of apps and searches. The down-
load also includes your profile, messages,
list of friends and ads you’ve clicked on.
This process should give you a good —
perhaps scary — idea of what Facebook has
on you.
What you won’t get are photos other peo-
ple shared with you, even if you’ve been
tagged. You need to save those individually.
And some stuff will remain, including what
others have posted about you, your chats
with others and your posts in Facebook
groups (though your name will be grayed
out). To delete all this, you’ll need to sift
through your “activity log,” accessible
through your profile page, and delete each
item individually.
Once you’ve saved everything and gone
through your activity log, sign in one last
time. Go to http://bit.ly/198wIoI and click
on the blue button. Facebook says the
process could take a few days. Your delete
request will be cancelled if you log back in dur-
ing this time. Facebook says it may take up to
90 days for all the data associated with your
account to be wiped, but you can’t change
your mind after the first few days are up.
If you used your Facebook account for
third-party apps and sites, you’ll need new
usernames and passwords for each.
TRIAL SEPARATION
If you’re not quite ready for a divorce, deac-
tivating your account is an option. To do
this, go to your account settings.
Deactivating means other people won’t be
able to see your profile, but if you log back
in, the whole thing is canceled and you are
“active” again. Ditto if you log into an out-
side app or site using your Facebook account.
FOMO (FEAR OF MISSING OUT)
Depending on whether you were a full-time
Facebook addict or an occasional lurker, the
psychological separation could prove harder
or easier than the physical one. Facebook
has become a one-stop shop for so many
things. You can keep up with friends and fam-
ily, find out about or create local events, buy
and sell stuff, keep up with the news, raise
money for a cause or join groups of like-
minded people such as parents, porch garden-
ers and people with a rare disease.
There are other places to do many of these
things. There’s Eventbrite for events, Letgo
for buying and selling stuff, Peanut for moms
to connect, Meetup to find and meet like-
minded people, GoFundMe for raising money
and Twitter, or, gasp, your local newspaper’s
website for the news. The difference is there’s
no single other place to do all these things,
and your friends might not be there.
If you find your mind wandering back to
Facebook as you go through your day, think-
ing how you might craft a post about a
thought you’ve just had or an article you came
across, it’s OK. Let it go. It’s all part of the
breakup process.
And while you may not see updates about
near-forgotten schoolmates or that random
person you met six years ago, the people
who matter most will stick around. For them,
there’s email, the phone and meeting in per-
son for coffee.

CSM’s Tulloch named Coach of the Year

In his first year as a collegiate head coach,
College of San Mateo football’s Tim
Tulloch has been named the Bay 6
Conference Coach of the Year.
This marks the third straight year a CSM
coach has earned the top coaching honor in

named the conference’s Coach of the Year
for two straight seasons.

Rebuilding rivals tie
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Carlmont and Burlingame boys’ soc-
cer teams have built one of the fiercest rival-
ries on the Peninsula, with hard, physical
play the norm.
This year, however, both squads are more
concerned with themselves more than each
other as both are going through a rebuilding
process.
The Scots finished near the bottom of the
table last season and new head coach Jose
Caballero is trying to build the program
back to a championship level.
Burlingame is the defending PAL Bay
Division champion, but head coach
Anthony Dimech has only three starters
returning from last season’s team.
The way they played Friday in the last
league game before the winter break, both
should have a chance to be in the playoff and
championship mix this season.
That’s why both coaches were satisfied with
their 1-1 draw in Burlingame.
“Hundred percent happy. Last year, this
team finished second to last,” Caballero
said. “This was a good point for us. This was
a win for us.”
Dimech knew his team would experience
some growing pains as he breaks in nearly
all new starters. To see his team rally from a
1-0 deficit was a good sign.
“We have a whole new group,” Dimech
said. “We’re gaining experience. We’re still
finding our feet.”
Trailing for most of the game, Burlingame
got the equalizer 12 minutes from the end of
the game to earn a point in the standings.
While the teams combined for only two
goals, in does not tell the whole story as
there could have been several from both
teams. Carlmont (1-0-1 PAL Bay, 1-2-2
overall) struck quickly, finding the back of
the net just three minutes into the game, but
Burlingame (1-0-1, 4-2-1) settled in and had
a bulk of the scoring chances the rest of the
half.
“They were on top of the us the first 10
minutes,” Dimech said. “Down 1-nothing

coordinator since 2009, took over as head
coach in the wake of Owens’ retirement. He
led the Bulldogs to their third straight Bay 6
Conference championship, during which
time the team has won 15 straight confer-
ence games.
“I’ve had a lot of people congrats for me
but I really don’t believe in the concept of a
coach of the year,” Tulloch said. “There’s a
coaching staff of the year. All our coaches
did a tremendous job. And our players really
played their tails off … and they overcame a
lot this year.”

year, Palu emerged as the leading tackler in

and growing inside you. You have to control

what I did being a rookie trying to impress
everybody early on and just play football.”

career, McGlinchey has found his groove and

They call it high and deny.
That’s the defensive strategy the Carlmont
girls’ basketball team, with its depth of ath-
letic players, is stressing this season.
If Friday’s Peninsula Athletic League
South Division opener at Woodside is any
indication, Carlmont (1-0 PAL South, 7-2
overall) may really have something. The
Lady Scots dominated on defense to strong-
arm their way to a 40-29 victory, handing
the upstart Wildcats (0-1, 6-1) their first
loss of the year.
“They’ve got the kind of team, they can
get scary if they get rolling,” Carlmont
head coach Dan Mori said. “Offensively, I
think we didn’t play great. But defensively
is where we won the game.”
Despite Carlmont shooting just 32.6 per-
cent (15 of 46) from the field, Mori was glow-
ing after the game. That’s because his defense
put on a clinic with its hyper-aggressive high

made when they drafted him ninth overall to
be a foundation piece of the offense.
San Francisco immediately traded incum-
bent tackle Trent Brown, one of the better
pass blockers at the position, to New England
and gave the starting job to McGlinchey.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said some rookies
can’t recover after being exposed early by top-
level NFL players but that wasn’t a problem
for McGlinchey when he struggled at times
against Ingram in Week 4.

AMHERST, N. Y. — Tara
VanDerveer doesn’t return to
Buffalo often, yet the Stanford
coach hasn’t forgotten the tough
blue-collar mentality of the place
she once called home.
A reminder came Friday, when
Alanna Smith scored 30 points and
the No. 8 Cardinal overcame the
pesky Bulls and their swarming
defense to pull
out a 62-55

I was really proud of our team to
show that side.”

“We knew that we couldn’t under-

“I’m just really proud of how our
team stuck together and really
stood behind each other and didn’t
crumble.”
Smith added 13 rebounds and

scored six of her 12 points in the
fourth quarter.
DiJonai Carrington had 10
rebounds, but finished 1 of 7 for 4
points after scoring 33 at
Tennessee.
The Cardinal never trailed, but
were held to a season-low in
points, and didn’t reach a double-
digit lead until Fingall’s basket in
the low post put Stanford up 54-44
with 2:37 remaining.
Cierra Dillard scored 21 points
for Buffalo (7-3), which had a 14-
game home winning streak
snapped. The nation’s’ leading
scorer also topped 20 points for
the 14th straight game dating to
last season.
Dillard finished 8 of 25 from the
field, while the rest of the Bulls
combined to go 11 of 44.
Buffalo coach Felicia Legette-
Jack shrugged off the missed shots
to note how her team made a final
push in the fourth quarter.
“It’s difficult, but it was right
there for us to grab,” Legette-Jack
said. “Because of that, we know
that we belong. It’s not like, ‘Oh,
my gosh, I can’t believe we’re in a

Russia prevents WADA from
finding doping data in Moscow lab
MOSCOW — The World Anti-Doping
Agency says its team is returning from
Moscow empty-handed after Russian authori-
ties prevented it from accessing key doping
data held at a laboratory there.
WADA reinstated the suspended Russian
Anti-Doping Agency in September on the
Sports brief
condition Russian authorities hand over lab
data which could allow many past doping
offenses to be prosecuted.
However, WADA says its delegation “was
unable to complete its mission within the pre-
scribed time” after Russia unexpectedly
demanded its equipment was “certified under
Russian law.” WADA says the demand wasn’t
raised at earlier talks.
WADA says team leader Toni Pascual will
now prepare a report on the failed mission but
the team could yet return by the Dec. 31 dead-
line if Russia resolves the issue.
WADA adds its team “stands ready to pro-
ceed with the full data extraction should the
matter be resolved by Russia expeditiously.”
Russian Sports Minister Pavel Kolobkov
told local media the WADA team would return,
but there was no word on the date and no men-
tion of the issue raised by WADA.
WADA has found extensive evidence that
Russia routinely falsified drug-testing results,
including at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, but
must now hope authorities provide genuine
data from past years. Russia must also submit
athletes’ stored samples for analysis by June
30.
WADA could suspend the Russian agency if
the data isn’t provided on time, which would
make it harder for Russia to host major events.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas traded

CINCINNATI — The Los Angeles Dodgers

in hopes of another pennant run.
The reigning NL champions shook up
their lineup on Friday, trading Yasiel Puig,
Matt Kemp and left-hander Alex Wood along
with cash to the Cincinnati Reds for a pair of
prospects as part of a seven-player deal.
The Reds included starter Homer Bailey in
the swap, a way of freeing them from the $28
million owed him in the final year of his

pitching plans, so they wanted to include
him in a deal if possible. The Dodgers plan

Rays, a selection projected to be in the high

The Rangers had two more seasons of arbi-
tration eligibility for Profar before he can
become a free agent. General manager Jon
Daniels said there had been discussions
about the possibility of an extension but
ing since 2015, and decided it’s time to
spend some money and make some deals to
complement its core of young players.
“We still have (financial) resources to
make this team better — we’re not done yet,”
said Dick Williams, the Reds’ president of
baseball operations. “We did trade some
good prospects here, but we acquired four
major league players that address needs for us
and I think we’re better in the short-term.”
Last week, the Reds traded pitching
prospect Tanner Rainey to the Nationals for
32-year-old starter Tanner Roark, who led the
National League in losses last season while
going 9-15 with a 4.34 ERA.
Cincinnati didn’t know what to do with

Average MLB salary down
for first time since 2004
The average major league salary dropped
this year for the first time since 2004 and
for only the fourth time since record-keep-
ing started 50 years ago, according to the
players’ association.
The union said Friday its final average
was $4, 095, 686, down $1, 436 from
$4,097,122 last year.
Since the union started keeping track in
1967, the only previous declines had been
by $66 in 1987, when owners were found to
have conspired to hold down salaries among
free agents; a 4 percent decline in 1995 fol-

that it became clear that wasn’t going to
happen.
Daniels said the A’s had been consistent in
their interest in Profar, and with Tampa Bay
in the deal it enabled the Rangers to get the
full value they felt was needed to consider
trading away the player that signed with
them as a 16-year-old in 2009.
The GM said all four players coming to the
Rangers are at the upper levels of the minor
leagues and knocking on the door of the big
leagues.
“There is definitely an emotional piece to
this one,” Daniels said. “We have seen the
ups and downs. Seen the really precocious
talent and the big smile and the way he loves
to play the game, to looking like he was
going to be our second baseman and the
shoulder issue that went on for a year longer
than I think any of us would have liked it to.”
was entering the final year on a six-year,
$105 million deal.
The rotation has been the Reds’ biggest
problem, with prospects failing to produce
consistently, and Wood provides another
upgrade. He was an All-Star for the Dodgers
in 2017, going 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA. He
was 9-7 last season with a 3.68 ERA in 27
starts and six relief appearances.
“We think he’s a solid middle-of-the-rota-
tion guy who’s going to fit in really well,”
Williams said.
The Reds’ outfield was in flux when they
chose not to tender a contact to Billy
Hamilton, making him a free agent. Puig is
expected to play right field. He’s in the final

Santa Clara led 37-23 at halftime and led
by no less than 14 in the second half, build-
ing to its largest lead at 77-47 before the
Vandals (3-8) closed the game on a 9-0 run.
The Broncos took control with an 18-2

in the middle of the first half.

and we still had more chances in the first
half.”
Carlmont proved dangerous with Muaath
Nofal working in the midfield. He showed a
nice touch on the ball and was aggressive
with his attack. He wasted little time in
making his presence felt as he took a pass
near the midfield circle and quickly sent a
pass toward the right flank when he found a
streaking Delal Shehadeh. He had a step on
the defender, took a touch to settle the ball
before hammering a shot from the top of the
Burlingame penalty box to the far left cor-
ner for a 1-0 lead in the third minute.
“He’s solid,” Caballero said of Nofal.
“With him in the middle, we can control the
midfield.”
Burlingame had its first chance to equalize
seven minutes later. Jared Dunning initiated
the attack with a run deep into the Carlmont
end before dishing a pass off to Aymeric
Destree, who won a 50-50 challenge with a
Carlmont defender and with the Scots’ goal-
keeper well off his line, the loose ball rolled
toward the empty goal.
Carlmont’s Luke Hendricksen got to the
ball just in time and cleared it off the goal
line to maintain the Scots advantage.
“The question for me was, were we going
to hold it (the 1-0 lead)?” Caballero said.
The Panthers had another close call mid-
way through the opening half as Ethan
Kaufman won a challenge with Carlmont
sweeper Tim Krassiev and broke in alone on
goal. As he avoided the charging goalkeep-
er, Kaufman managed to slip it past him, but
didn’t get a lot on the shot.
Again, the Carlmont defense swept away
the potential game-tying goal as Danny
Wilson came across to clear the ball out of
danger.
Burlingame was the aggressor in the mid-
field and won a number of balls that kept
Carlmont on its heels. The Scots, however,
balanced out the possession over the final
10 minutes of the first half.
The second half was a bit more choppy as
neither team really held a clear advantage in
the midfield. Carlmont was hindered with
the loss of striker Greg Crame, who despite
playing the entire first half, took a knock
and sat out the final 40 minutes.
“It really affects us,” Caballero said. “He
has speed, control … and he can finish.”
Norfal also missed part of the second half
with a bit of a nick, as well.
But the Scots also changed tactically as
Caballero dropped one of his midfielders
into a more defensive roll to help stymie
Burlingame attacking through the middle.
“They weren’t playing as through the
middle of the field,” Dimech said.
The Panthers were having their own
issues in the midfield as Dimech inserted
one of his few starters from last season, Kai
Galia, who just started training with the
team this week and saw his first action of the
season in the second half Friday.
One of the best midfielders in the PAL, you
could tell he hadn’t spent a lot of time with
his mostly new teammates as his timing
was just a bit off.
“I think he was pressing a little hard,”
Dimech said.
As the second half wore on, Burlingame
started to take more chances offensively and
a tactical move paid off almost immediately.
“The last 15 (minutes) I pulled a defender
and added an attacker,” Dimech said. “And it
paid off, like, three minutes later.”
The equalizer came off a long ball over the
top of the Carlmont back line off the foot of
Burlingame defender Liam Griffin. Andrew
Morales beat his mark, chased down the ball
and touched it around the charging goal-
keeper.
Morales kept his poise as Krassiev came
flying over to close him down, but Morales
shielded the ball from the defender, turned
and buried his shot into the empty net in the
68th minute.
It was a bit of a deflating goal for
Carlmont, which a minute before saw
Nofal’s free kick from 25 yards out bang off
the crossbar.
Carlmont had a couple of late chances,
one coming in stoppage time as the ball
bounded around in the Burlingame penalty
box before Burlingame’s Griffin headed the
ball off the goal line to preserve the draw.
“We could have won this game,” Dimech
said. “Down 1-nothing, it was good to come
back (for the tie).”

Hurst has been a silver lining for Raiders’ defense
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Shortly after being drafted,
Raiders defensive tackle Maurice Hurst
received a phone call from Jon Gruden. The
conversation didn’t last long but turned out
to be prophetic in several ways.
Gruden informed Hurst of the renovation
plan for Oakland’s defense that was being
mapped out by him and defensive coordina-
tor Paul Guenther and how much they want-
ed the former Michigan star to be at the hub
of that plan. Gruden also didn’t mince words
when he explained that he wanted Hurst to
be as big of a presence in the locker room as
the team hoped he would be on the field.
Hurst has managed to do both fairly well,
providing a silver lining to a season in
which the Raiders defense has otherwise
gone nowhere.
“He’s grown leaps and bounds,” Guenther

“That never enters McGlinchey’s mind,”
Shanahan said. “He thinks about what just
happened, tries to get through it and I think

to make it through an injury and playing
against a good player, that always gives guys
confidence.”
That confidence has built as the season has

said Friday. “We knew we
drafted a good player
when we took him and he
has not disappointed.
He’s done a good job in
both the run and the pass.
He’s been able to push
the pocket some on third
down, so he’s going to be
Maurice Hurst a great player for us.”
Oakland is 26th in
total defense behind a pass rush that has
generated only 12 sacks through 14 games.
Hurst has four of them, the most by a
Raiders rookie since Khalil Mack had four
in 2014.
Whether Hurst can add to his total is
uncertain. He has not practiced this week
because of a lingering ankle injury that
landed him on the inactive list in Week 14.
A strong finish to the season, Hurst said,
will be key to getting a jump on 2019 as he
the better rookies in the league. His strong
play has helped third-string quarterback Nick
Mullens flourish in recent weeks and he has
been a major part of a running game that was
ranked in the top 10 in production for most of
the season.
But he’s still not satisfied.
“I’m not where I want to be and I’m not sure
you ever are as a football player,” he said. “But
what I’m proud of this season is I’ve been
stacking games together. Since a certain
point of midway through the season I can feel
myself getting better each and every week and
taking things that I saw on tape last week or
in practice and improving.”

foundation of the Raiders defensive line.
“We’ve done a pretty decent job this year
so we just have to try to build on things,”
Hurst said. “These last couple of games will
be big for us. Just keep developing, have a
big offseason and get ready for next year.”
The Raiders were fortunate Hurst fell into
their laps. A consensus All-American during
his senior season with the Wolverines,
Hurst was projected to be a first-round draft
pick until being sent home from the scout-
ing combine after tests revealed a heart con-
dition.
Hurst was given medical clearance but it
didn’t prevent the other 31 teams from pass-
ing on him. When he was selected with the
140th overall pick, the Raiders were widely
criticized by several general managers
around the league.
It’s a gamble that has paid off for
Oakland.
That’s been particularly crucial during a
recent stretch where McGlinchey and the
49ers have once again been matched up
against a string of elite pass rushers.
San Francisco has matched up against

Spit
spot!
Blunt’s a practically
perfect Mary Poppins
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In the half-century since the original “Mary Poppins” debuted, we’ve learned a
lot about refined sugar, frankly none of it good. Doctors tell us it can lead to obe-
sity, heart disease and all sorts of other detriments to our health.
But let’s face it, there are times when a little sugar — oh what the heck, let’s say
a spoonful — is just what we need, if not for health then for happiness. So it’s
sweet news indeed that “Mary Poppins Returns,” a sequel 54 years in coming,
provides just that spoonful of happiness in the form of Emily Blunt, practically
perfect in every way as the heir to Julie Andrews.
“Spit spot!” “Pish Posh!” “Jigetty Jog!” (Did we spell that right?) These
Poppins-isms slip effortlessly off Blunt’s tongue. It’s also no simple feat
to gaze at one’s reflection and say “practically perfect in every way”
and not seem egotistical, but Blunt’s easy warmth and charm
shine through.
Of course she can also sing, and dance, with partners both
live and animated. And she’s funny — witness her price-
less indignation when a child asks how much she
weighs. But then she can spin on a dime and con-
vey that steely Poppins nerve, that sense that in
a crisis, she knows exactly what must be
done, and everybody else had better
stand aside.
There’s further happy news here:

Blunt on the ‘daunting’ task of playing Poppins
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS — Emily Blunt loves a
challenge, and in the world of movie musi-
cals there’s no greater trial than following
in the footsteps of Julie Andrews to bring
one of her most iconic, and beloved, roles
to the screen for the first time in over half a
century.
It’s only Mary Poppins. No pressure,
right?
But the 35-year-old British actress has
always been drawn to roles that scare her,
and it’s proven to be a good strategy. Some
of her most memorable parts have been
those “impossible” ones, like stealing
scenes from Meryl Streep in “The Devil
Wears Prada” and doing stunts with Tom
Cruise in “The Edge of Tomorrow.”
There’s no one type of Emily Blunt role,
but some roles seem like they could only be
for her, and for director and choreographer
Rob Marshall, the practically perfect nanny
was one of them. When he signed on for
“Mary Poppins Returns,” which would be a
sequel to the 1964 classic, hers was the first
name he thought of.
“It was the quickest, fastest idea. I knew
in one second who it was,” said Marshall.
“She had all the requirements.”
He knew how big of an ask it was (“It’s
the climbing of Mount Everest,” he said),
but he also knew from directing her in
Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods” that
she was the right triple threat for the job.
“She’s so fearless,” he added. “I just knew
that she would make it her own.”
And Blunt said yes to Marshall in a single
conversation.

“I wanted her to speak very quickly
because I wanted her to have that impact
where she almost renders people speech-
less, so that they’re helpless but to comply
with what she wants. It’s like she gives
them no time to think,” Blunt said. “You’re
almost not quite sure if she’s planting a seed
or not and you’re like, ‘Wait is there an

Lin-Manuel Miranda: ‘Mary

NEW YORK — Working on “Mary

The theater actor, composer and cre-

“Hamilton” knew the film’s director,
Rob Marshall, from such stage and

“I think the dancing was the most

Hamilton does almost none of it. He’s
standing and he’s got a lot of words to

The learning curve was made a little
easier thanks to the film’s generous
nine-week rehearsal period.

“We all rehearsed together and that was

that’s opposite from his stern and

The pressures of
composing music
for ‘Mary Poppins’
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS — Everyone involved in the making of
“Mary Poppins Returns “ felt the pressure to do justice to the
original 1964 film.
Rob Marshall worked on it for three straight years.
Animators came out of retirement to do hand-drawn anima-
tion in the style of the first. Sets were built. Cast members
moved their family to London for a year. But perhaps no one
short of Emily Blunt and Marshall were as heavy with
responsibility as composer Marc Shaiman and his co-lyricist
Scott Wittman. They had the Oscar-winning songwriting duo
Robert and Richard Sherman to live up to, after all.
Shaiman, who composed the score and nine original songs
for the new film, credits the Shermans for getting him inter-
ested in music to begin with. He remembers being four-years-
old and listening to the “Mary Poppins” album and thinking,
“This is what I want to do with my life.”
“He was a precocious 4-year-old,” added Wittman, who has
known Shaiman for over four decades. The two are Broadway
mainstays and have worked together on the “Hairspray” and
“Catch Me if You Can” musicals.
As a framework, Marshall said he “didn’t want to reimagine
the music and have it be a contemporary version of “Mary
Poppins,” or Mary Poppins singing ‘Let It Go’ or some-
thing.” He wanted it in the style of the Sherman brothers and
classic movie musicals, which became an opportunity for
Shaiman and Wittman.
“We realized this was our chance to thank them via music
and lyrics,” Shaiman said. “The whole movie is to say thank
you, you’ve taught us all of these things, let us show you
what you’ve given us by doing our take on the story.”
The process of writing the score and the songs was long
and laborious, and a true team effort: Four months of twice-a-
week sessions with Marshall and screenwriters David Magee
and John DeLuca to hammer out the story, the script and the
direction of the songs together, and decide which moments in

It’s not just Blunt that’s at the top of her
game in this thoroughly delightful enter-
prise by director Rob Marshall and a crack
team of artists devoted to both honoring a
time-worn classic and finding something
new to say.
The visuals are lovely, from the oil paint-
ings in the opening credits to the balloon-
filled spring fair at the end. And Sandy
Powell’s costumes are fabulous,  especially
the reds and blues and stripes and polka dots
that adorn Mary, from her straw-hatted head
to her turned-out feet (What we wouldn’t

child-like innocence, whatsoever,” Miranda
said. Jack, on the other hand, is “sort of

He sort of never lost that.”
Miranda said he’ll be forever grateful that
Marshall saw those traits in him.

Blunt’s star power is complemented here
by appealing turns from Lin-Manuel
Miranda as the afore-mentioned Jack, a
kind-hearted lamplighter who once worked
for Bert the chimney sweep (aka Dick Van
Dyke); Ben Whisham and Emily Mortimer
as the elder Banks children, a slimy Colin
Firth as the bank chief, and, for icing on the
cake, a flame-haired Meryl Streep as Mary’s
vaguely Eastern European cousin Topsy
(“Vat do you VANT?”).
Then there’s the icing on the icing: a
cameo by Van Dyke himself, still spry at
92, that is hands-down the emotional peak
of the film — even before he starts to twin-
kle those toes.
The setting is Depression-era London,
where widowed Michael lives with his three
young children at 17 Cherry Tree Lane,
struggling to stay afloat. Sister Jane, a
labor organizer, lives in a flat across town.
As we begin, Michael learns he’s behind
on loan payments, and the bank wants to
take his house. He’s given five days to find
proof that his father owned shares there,
which could save the home. Searching des-
inner child. That part of us that was drawing
and painting and making stuff when we were
kids. Some of us specialized on those, and
some of us grow up, and I feel like I’ve never
grown up in a real way,” Miranda said.
Miranda won Tony Awards for “In the
Heights” and “Hamilton,” with the latter
also earning him the Pulitzer Prize. He feels
those successes set the stage for being cast
in the “Mary Poppins” sequel.
“I’ve never done a movie on the scale. But
there are very few movies on this scale,”
said Miranda, who recalled as a child watch-
ing Dick Van Dyke dance alongside animat-
ed penguins in “Mary Poppins.”

As for Miranda, though the role he’s
given could have used more of a backstory,
his presence injects a warm and sunny vibe
into gray Depression-era London, and it’s
totally infectious. His Cockney accent is
better than his predecessor’s, too, and it’s
nice that he gets to rap a bit in the animated
fantasy sequence, as did Van Dyke (sort of)
in the original. Mortimer and especially
Whisham are both touching in roles that
could have felt perfunctory.
Perhaps no more explanation is necessary
— after all, as Jack says, “Mary Poppins
never explains anything.” Will we meeting
her yet again? Who knows. But it was won-
derful to see her, especially in Blunt’s lov-
ing hands.
“Yes it was, wasn’t it,” she’d surely reply.
“Mary Poppins Returns,” a Walt Disney

has the rare gift of “perfect pitch.”
“I loved working with those two guys,
they’re a rip,” Blunt said. “They’re just
hilarious to be around.”
Wittman likes to quote Lin-Manuel
Miranda’s summation of the music.
“He said this Mary Poppins rhymes with
the first movie,” Wittman said. “We felt it
was important that they both live in the
same world. That influenced the writing.”
Wittman, the co-lyricist, had books upon
books about London in the 30s, dictionar-
ies of cockney rhyming slang and encyclo-
pedias of odd Victorian words piled up in his
studio that he studied and would go back to
in crafting the new lyrics.

been elected to the board in 1974, Ward
remembered the longtime Pacifica resi-
dent’s focus on preserving open space
on San Bruno Mountain and the balance
in perspectives she helped foster
amongst her colleagues.
“I just think that it was really impor-
tant to have her voice on the board,” he
said. “There’s moments when tempera-
ments come into play as you get into
tough decision-making processes and
she always maintained her calm.”
Having attended board meetings dur-
ing Fassler’s tenure, Lennie Roberts
with the Committee for Green Foothills
remembered how Fassler’s authenticity
and preparation for the wide array of
topics discussed on the dais captivated
not only her fellow board members but
also her community, which had yet to
see many women pursue public office.
“What I remember was, here was this
woman in a man’s world,” she said. “She
always was a lady, she was smart, she
was fun and she actually managed to get
a lot of things done.”
In addition to Fassler’s paving a way
for women, Roberts counted Fassler’s
commitment to keeping the county’s
highways scenic as among the first
glimmers of environmental awareness
in the county. Roberts could also recall
the pride she felt in seeing a Pacifica res-
ident serve at the national level on the
Citizens Advisory Committee on
Recreation and Natural Beauty, which
Fassler was appointed to by President
Lyndon Johnson.
For her daughter Lynn Fassler, her
mother’s ability to manage her time on
the some 18 committees she served on
as a county supervisor and in contribut-
ing to a wide range of discussions as the
first mayor of the newly-incorporated
Pacifica was a feat in and of itself, espe-
cially since she was very devoted to her
family.
Attentive listener, hard worker
Whether it was finding time to go to
her school plays or attending the accor-
dion concerts of one of her two sons,
Fassler was an attentive listener and
trusted her children to make decisions
for themselves, said Lynn Fassler. Even
though some of her meetings might go
late into the evening, her mother would
prepare meals ahead of them and freeze
them so her family would have some-
thing to eat for dinner.
to find her mother on a Sunday one after-
noon in high school and finding her in
the quiet of her car studying for upcom-
ing meetings, noting that was not an
uncommon occurrence given how well
she prepared for meetings. Having
moved from Sacramento to San
Francisco to become a dental assistant
as a young woman, Fassler might not
have imagined she would serve her com-
munity on so many levels when she
started her career, but her attentiveness
to others and the issues her community
was facing made her a natural fit in the
public realm, said Lynn Fassler.
“She was always a lady throughout her
whole public service,” she said. “She
was always appropriately dressed, she
always found an easy way to get things
done. … She just wore all the different
hats.”
Lynn Fassler said her mother met her
father, Joseph Fassler, while she was
working as a dental assistant and they
lived together in what she called “the
shack on the beach” in Pacifica, where
they later built a home for their family.
She said her mother was one among 26
candidates who ran for Pacifica City
Council in 1957, just after the city was
incorporated, and was the top vote-get-
ter in the election, a feat that earned her
the role of the city’s first mayor.
Because she hadn’t attended a city
council meeting before, Fassler attended
meetings in Daly City to learn how to
conduct them in her Pacifica, which was
going through the growing pains of
becoming a new community. From
forming a new community in Pacifica to
serving on a committee advising the
president alongside Laurance
Rockefeller, an astronaut and other offi-
cials, Fassler was known to have made
an impression on almost everyone she
met, said Lynn Fassler.
Fassler’s daughter-in-law Vida Santos
could remember the first time she met
Fassler while she was working for the
Pacifica Tribune as a widowed, single
mother. Santos could recall the moment
when Fassler walked into the office to
be interviewed by the newspaper’s edi-
tor, lighting up the room with her charm
and warmth.
“She came in as mayor and introduced
herself and I just immediately liked her,”
she said.
Santos would meet and eventually
marry Fassler’s oldest son, the late
Walfred Fassler, a few weeks later, and
said they shared many of the same char-
acteristics, including a high-achieving
mindset and devotion to their families.
Commitment to community
For her son Greg Fassler, it was his
mother’s commitment to serving her
community that left a lasting impres-
sion on his career. Having earned a mas-
ter’s degree in public administration and
worked for several cities and counties in
the Peninsula as a management analyst
A

said his interest in government
stemmed from his mother’s active civic
life.
Though he acknowledged how impor-
tant her example was for the communi-
ty, Greg Fassler emphasized how devot-
ed she was to her family, always willing
to listen to her children and support
them.
“There was never a time when she was
too busy to give attention to the kids,”
she said. “She was always supportive of
what I was going to do in life.”
Now a consultant assisting cities and
counties in vehicle and equipment pur-
chases and maintenance, Greg Fassler
could remember what it was like to grow
up with his mother as mayor of his
hometown, noting a photographer from
Life magazine photographed his family
when he was 10 years old, shortly after
his mother was elected to the Pacifica
City Council. Though there were not a
lot of women in politics when she was
first elected, Fassler inspired women to
pursue offices in local and county gov-
ernment, Greg Fassler added, noting
U.S. representatives Jackie Speier and
Anna Eshoo were elected to the Board of
Supervisors not long after his mother’s
tenure.
‘Dignified
and persistent example’
For her part, Speier noted Fassler was
the first in San Mateo County to prove
that some leaders are born women.
Acknowledging the county Board of
Supervisors tended to have a focus on
the southern portion of the county in
the late 1970s, Speier remembered how
hard Fassler fought for the northern por-
tion of the county with a combination
of gentility and firmness.
“She led by dignified and persistent
example,” she said in an email. “It’s
appropriate that there is a long street in
Pacifica that climbs to the stars and that
it’s named after her. No one would dare
name a cul-de-sac after Jean Fassler.”
Jean Frances Fassler was born June 7,
1919, in Quincy to Della and Charlie
Thomas and died Nov. 18 at her home in
Grass Valley. She is survived by son
Gregory and his wife Susan, daughter
Lynn Fassler and her husband Charles
Sternberg, daughter-in-law Vida Santos,
grandchildren Kristy Fassler, Kathy
Fassler, Ken Fassler, Karen Fassler and
Kevin Fassler. Fassler is also survived
by great grandchildren Joseph
Gillespie, Jacob Gillespie, Rachel
Gillespie, Ruth Gillespie and Benjamin
Hecht. She is preceded in death by
Joseph Fassler, her husband of 63 years
and her eldest son, Walfred J. Fassler.
A memorial service for Jean Frances
Fassler will be 1:30 p.m. Jan. 6, in
Nevada City at the Sierra Presbyterian
Church, 175 Ridge Road. In lieu of flow-
ers, donations can be made to Hospice
of the Foothills.

notiCe of petition to
adMinister estate of
Manuel Martinez
Case Number: 18PRO01366
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Manuel Martinez. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Marc
Grandle in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Marc Grandle
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au- over the hedge over the hedge over the hedge
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal 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 ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN. 15, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400

February and it will be closely monitored
for three months and can be terminated at
any time if the city manager deems it unsafe
or, ostensibly, if it proves ineffective.
The council appeared interested in
expanding the program if it’s successful and
potentially investing in some sort of tech-
nology to assist with enforcement.
“For all I know it might be two weeks into
the program and we have to shut it down. We
really don’t know [how well it will work].
We’re being frank with the community that
we don’t know 100 percent, but at least
we’re trying something,” Mayor Sam Hindi
said.
An overwhelming number of respondents
to a recent survey supported the pilot, but
not everyone thinks it will help.
“It sounds like we’re chasing traffic all
over town and in the end you’re moving
traffic from main roads to secondary roads,
which sounds very strange,” said resident
James Goell.
Hindi acknowledged that the pilot may
impact other intersections in town and that
congestion will likely worsen before it
improves, as it will take time for drivers to
adjust to the new rules. But in the end, he
appeared confident that short-term “grow-
ing pains” will be worth it.
Councilwoman Catherine Mahanpour
also worried that it might just transfer the
problem elsewhere in the city rather than
fix it.
“I think we are going to face some chal-
lenges implementing this plan because it
could move the problem into the Foster
City Boulevard upper East Hillsdale, but if
we don’t do anything we don’t have a chance
to see if it works so we have to try some-
thing,” said Mahanpour, adding that the
program can always be tweaked if need be.
She suggested some sort of card reader
system that allows certain residents to turn
left at the aforementioned intersections
while still prohibiting left turns for every-
one else. But the council agreed any tech-
nology investments won’t be considered
until staff has had a chance to evaluate the
success of the pilot.
The pilot is expected to cost $30,000 and
the city will donate signs to communities
such as Spinnaker Cove to discourage non-
residents from cutting through those com-
munities.
Vice Mayor Herb Perez described the pro-
gram as a good start, but he doesn’t think it
goes far enough.
“I think we
should con-
sider a much
more robust
program that

the day enforcement is what matters,” Perez
said. “I would prefer to see dedicated police
even if that means additional police that
would actually monitor the intersections
and ticket, because that’s how you’ll stop
people from turning.”
Perez’s colleagues also appeared interest-
ed in increasing the police presence to
assist with enforcement, but the extent to
which that’s feasible or will happen is
unclear. Perez said his ideal program, com-
plete with some sort of sensor system that
would ostensibly allow residents to turn left
but prohibit non-residents from turning
left, would cost between $300,000 and
$500,000 per year at first.
“I’d prefer to spend more money on
enforcement and implementation rather
than restricting access for some,” he said.
Moving forward, staff will reach out to
navigation apps including Waze to see if
those companies will incorporate the new
think app companies will respond to such
requests.
“You can approach the apps as much as
you want, but that’s not going to change
anything because the apps aren’t driven by
the app, the app is driven by riders that go
through and they say ‘this is good or bad’
and the apps generate lead times,” he said.
“I guarantee if the apps start cooperating
with cities there will be a new app that
comes out: ‘the real Waze.’”
City Manager Jeff Moneda said staff has
and will continue to run traffic models and
compare traffic counts at affected intersec-
tions before and throughout the pilot to
gauge its effectiveness.
As with councilmembers, he acknowl-
edged the frustration the program will cause
for some, but suggested the tradeoff would
benefit a greater number of residents.
“We understand this isn’t a perfect pilot
program. If it was perfect then everyone in
Foster City would be able to get home with
no issues. However, in order to resolve the
cut-through issue there are impacts to those
that live to the north,” he said.
