San Bruno officials pursue deficit relief

Councilmembers support revenue enhancement proposals to fix budget shortfall
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Bruno officials will push
forward with an attempt to stabi-
lize the city’s budget through a
variety of initiatives which could
include a forthcoming tax meas-
ure.
The San Bruno City Council
supported a proposal by City
Manager Jovan Grogan to seek out
additional revenue needed to fill a
$1.7 million budget shortfall, dur-
ing a meeting Tuesday, Nov. 27.
Though no specific direction
was given, officials generally
agreed more examination of the
city’s financial health is in order
and expressed enthusiasm for addi-
tional study over the coming year.
In her advocacy for the propos-
al, Vice Mayor Laura Davis nod-
ded to a sentiment shared by
Grogan, who encouraged officials
to consider bolstering the budget
while San Bruno’s financial foot-
ing is relatively stable.
“There is no need to be alarmed,
but it is time to strategize and
implement solutions,” she said,
according to video of the meeting.
“And I’m excited.”
Mayor Rico Medina shared a
similar sentiment.
“I look forward to this,” he said.
Under the blessing from offi-
cials, Grogan will oversee a vari-
ety of efforts designed to reverse a
trend of spending outpacing
income which he hopes will also
allow the city to finance a variety
of capital projects.

The Belmont City Council has

Man who assaulted cop drops insanity plea
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A man who was found guilty of felony
assault on a police officer, resisting a police
officer and battery causing serious bodily
damage by a jury last week for assaulting a
South San Francisco police officer with a
skateboard in 2016 is facing a 20-year
prison term after he withdrew his plea of not
guilty by reason of insanity Monday,
according to his defense attorney and the
San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
After nine days of trial, Luis Alberto
Ramos-Coreas, 30, was found guilty of the
three felonies but was found not guilty of
attempted murder of 12-year veteran South
San Francisco police Officer Robby Chon, a
charge that carried a potential life sentence.
In March, Ramos-Coreas entered a plea of
not guilty by reason of insanity but, in
withdrawing the plea Monday, he prevented
the trial from going into a second phase in
which jurors would decide whether he was
insane at the time of the crime, according to
prosecutors previously.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said

he was insane at the time
of the crime. Insanity is a
person’s mental state at
the time of a crime while
competency is a defen-
dant’s ability to aid in
their own defense.
Ramos-Coreas’ defense
attorney Jim Riley felt
the jurors reached the
Luis
Ramos-Coreas right conclusion with
regard to his attempted
murder charge and said the evidence with
respect to the other charges he was convict-
ed of was sufficient.
“I think [the jurors] reached the right con-
clusion on all of the counts,” he said.
At around 2:20 p.m. Nov. 24, 2016,
Ramos-Coreas is believed to have hit Chon
in the head with his skateboard after Chon
responded to a report of a man acting irate
toward patrons at a business on the 300
block of Grand Avenue, according to prose-
cutors and police previously.
When officers arrived on the scene, they
tried to approach Ramos-Coreas, who was
allegedly causing the disturbance, police
said previously.
Ramos-Coreas is said to have refused to
comply with the officers’ requests. When
additional officers arrived, Ramos-Coreas
“They’re ready to get back,” Bella’s moth-
er, Erica Hail, said of her children. “I think
they’re sick of Mom and Dad.” At school,
“they get to have time alone in their own
space and their own grade and they get to
just be by themselves.”
Schools in the county had been closed
since Nov. 8, when the blaze swept through
the town of Paradise and surrounding areas,
destroying nearly 14, 000 homes and
killing at least 88 people in the nation’s
deadliest wildfire in a century. About two
dozen people remain unaccounted for, down
from a staggering high of 1,300 a few weeks
ago.
About 31,000 students in all have been
away from school since the disaster. On
allegedly fled on a skateboard and Chon
began chasing him, according to prosecu-
tors.
During the chase, Ramos-Coreas alleged-
ly stopped, turned and struck Chon in the
head with the skateboard. He allegedly start-
ed running again but officers were able to
capture him, according to prosecutors.
Chon lost consciousness in the attack,
suffered a skull fracture and required brain
surgery to stop some bleeding, according to
prosecutors.
After undergoing multiple surgeries and
spending hours in rehabilitation, Chon
returned to light duty in January, more than
a year after the attack, according to the
department.
Wagstaffe noted Ramos-Coreas’ assault
on Chon was indicative of the risks police
officers take on the job, adding Chon was
simply responding to a disturbance when he
almost lost his life more than two years
ago.
“This is a horrible crime against an offi-
cer,” he said. “What this man did deserves
him [to be] locked up for as long as can be
done.”
Ramos-Coreas is in custody on $2 mil-
lion bail and will next appear in court Jan.
15 for sentencing, according to prosecu-
tors.
Monday, nearly all of them went back,
though some of them attended class in other
buildings because their schools were dam-
aged or destroyed, or inaccessible inside
evacuation zones.

Several days of events set to honor

former President George H.W. Bush
By Juan A. Lozano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Former President George
H.W. Bush will be honored during several
public and private events in Houston and
Washington before his burial Thursday in
Texas.
Four days of events for Bush, who died
Friday at age 94, include a state funeral at
Washington’s National Cathedral, a private
service at his longtime church in Houston
and public viewings in both cities. He will
be buried next to his wife Barbara and their
daughter Robin who died in 1953.
TRANSPORT FROM
HOUSTON TO WASHINGTON
Bush’s body will be transported by a
motorcade Monday morning from a
Houston funeral home to Ellington Field
Joint Reserve Base, a Texas Air National
Guard base. The casket will be loaded onto a
plane during a departure ceremony scheduled
to start at 10:30 a.m. CST and flown to
Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
Relatives accompanying the casket will
include his sons, former President George
W. Bush and Neil Bush, along with mem-
bers of their immediate families. The rest of
the Bush family is expected to be at Joint
Base Andrews when the body arrives.
Houston will host a public tribute to Bush
on Monday night. Mayor Sylvester Turner
has urged attendees to wear colorful socks, a
nod to the former president’s fondness for
sporting loud socks often emblazoned with
unusual patterns during public events.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath tweeted
Monday that Bush will be laid to rest wear-

STATE FUNERAL IN WASHINGTON
In Washington, Bush will lie in state in
the rotunda of the U. S. Capitol from
Monday at 7:30 p.m. EST until Wednesday
at 8:45 a.m. EST. His casket will be trans-
ported by motorcade Wednesday morning to
the National Cathedral, where a state funer-
al will be held at 11 a.m. EST. President
Donald Trump, who ordered federal offices

mourning, is to attend with first lady
Melania Trump.
RETURN TO HOUSTON
Following the service at the National
Cathedral, Bush will be flown to Houston
on Wednesday with a scheduled arrival of
around 4:30 p.m. CST. His body will be
transported by motorcade to St. Martin’s
Episcopal Church, where he and his wife
regularly worshipped. A public viewing of
Bush’s casket will be held at the church
from 6:45 p.m. CST on Wednesday until 6
a.m. CST on Thursday.
On Thursday, a private funeral service
with about 1,200 invited guests will be held
at the church starting at 10 a.m. CST. After
the hour-long service, a motorcade will
transport Bush’s casket to a train station
north of Houston, near the international
airport named after Bush.
A ceremony will be held at the train sta-
tion as Bush’s casket is loaded onto a Union
Pacific train. The train will take about 2 1/2
hours to travel roughly 70 miles (113 kilo-
meters) to the city of College Station, home
to Bush’s presidential library at Texas A&M
University.
The locomotive has been painted the col-
ors of the Air Force One plane used during
Bush’s presidency and bears the number
“4141” in honor of the 41st president. The
casket will be in a car with Plexiglas win-
dows to allow people to see it during the
trip, according to family spokesman Jim
McGrath.
BURIAL IN COLLEGE STATION
The train is scheduled to arrive in College
Station on Thursday around 3:45 p.m. CST.
Bush’s casket will then be transported by
motorcade to the presidential library, where
he will be buried at the gated family plot
near his wife and their daughter Robin, who
died of leukemia at age 3. Barbara Bush died
on April 17 at their Houston home. The cou-
ple was married for 73 years , longer than
any other U.S. presidential couple.
Ceremonies at the presidential library
will include a missing man formation fly-
over. The casket will then be rolled along a
path through woods, over a bridge and over
a creek for burial during a private graveside
service with Bush’s family.

California lawmakers swear in for new two-year session

By Kathleen Ronayn

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s legislative
session began Monday with a mix of pomp
and circumstance and sweeping declarations
from Democrats about the policies they’ll
pursue, from tackling climate change to end-
ing childhood poverty.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon also
promised to keep up the fight against
President Donald Trump, an effective foil
that allowed Democrats to gain historic mar-
gins in both the Senate and Assembly in

“Two years ago, before that man even took
office, I said California must be defiant
whenever justice, fairness and righteousness
require, and we have backed up those words
with action,” Rendon, a Democrat from
Paramount, said after being nominated by
his colleagues for another term at the cham-
ber’s helm.
Attorney General Xavier Becerra and
Supreme Court Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye
administered the oath of office to all 80
Assembly members and half of the 40 sena-
tors, respectively. Senators again chose
Democrat Toni Atkins of San Diego as the
president pro tempore.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who will leave office in
January, sat in the corner of the Senate during
the festivities. Governor-elect Gavin
Newsom, also a Democrat, joined each cham-
ber for part of the ceremony. He advised sen-
ators to exercise their “moral authority” as
well as their “formal authority” in the jobs
they now hold.
“We can shape the future,” Newsom said.
“It’s not a gross exaggeration — the world is
looking to us, to each and every one of you.”
Just 17 lawmakers are taking their seats for
the first time, nine in the Senate and eight in
the Assembly. Democrats hold a whopping
60 Assembly seats and 29 Senate seats, giv-
ing them broad power to enact their ambi-
tious goals.

Trump praises witness who refuses to testify against him

By Michael Balsamo and Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump praised a key witness in the Russia
investigation Monday for having the
“guts” not to testify against him, and said
his former lawyer — who cut a deal with
prosecutors — should head straight to
prison.
In a pair of politically charged tweets,
Trump made clear that he is closely watch-
ing those who turn on him in the special
counsel’s probe, which has ensnared some
of the president’s closest advisers. So far,
five people in Trump’s orbit have pleaded
guilty to federal charges.
The tweets add to mounting questions
about whether Trump is taking steps to
improperly influence witnesses in an
investigation that has enraged him and
shadowed his administration. Some legal
experts, though, say they may not amount
to witness tampering if Trump didn’t direct-
ly tell others what to say or not say.
Trump already has come under scrutiny
from critics who fear he may use his execu-
tive power to protect himself as well as
friends and supporters. Last week, Trump
told the New York Post that a pardon for his
former campaign chairman Paul Manafort
was not off the table.
Prosecutors say Manafort torpedoed his
plea deal with special counsel Robert
Mueller by repeatedly lying to them,
although Manafort denies that he lied.
In one of Monday’s tweets, Trump took
aim at Michael Cohen, his former personal
Donald Trump speaks as he meets Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the G20 leaders
summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
attorney who once grandly declared he
would “take a bullet” for the president but
ultimately took a plea deal.
Cohen pleaded guilty last week to lying to
Congress about negotiations he had on
Trump’s behalf for a real estate deal in
Moscow.
Though he told lawmakers the talks were
done by January 2016, he admitted they
actually lasted as late as June — after Trump
had clinched the Republican nomination
REUTERS
and after Russians had penetrated
Democratic email accounts for communica-
tions later released through WikiLeaks.
Cohen said he lied out of loyalty to
Trump, who insisted throughout the cam-
paign that he had no business dealings in
Russia, and to be consistent with his polit-
ical messaging.
On Monday, Trump ripped into Cohen on
Twitter.
“You mean he can do all of the TERRI-
BLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to
do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and
not serve a long prison term?” Trump added
that Cohen “makes up stories to get a
GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for him-
self.”
Trump added: “He lied for this outcome
and should, in my opinion, serve a full and
complete sentence.”
Minutes later, Trump lavished praise on
his former campaign adviser Roger Stone.
Mueller’s prosecutors are investigating
Stone to learn whether he had advance
knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans to release
hacked material damaging to Hillary
Clinton’s presidential effort.
Trump lauded Stone for saying he’d never
testify against the president.
“This statement was recently made by
Roger Stone, essentially stating that he
will not be forced by a rogue and out of con-
trol prosecutor to make up lies and stories
about ‘President Trump,”’ he tweeted. “Nice
to know that some people still have
‘guts!”’
Stone then posted a screenshot of
Trump’s tweet with a caption that said he
was proud of their 40-year relationship and
“prouder still of the amazing job he is
doing making America Great Again!”
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on
the Senate intelligence committee, said
Trump’s tweet was inappropriate.
“The President of the United States
should not be using his platform to influ-
ence potential witnesses in a federal inves-
tigation involving his campaign,” Warner
said in a tweet.

NASA spacecraft arrives at ancient asteroid, its first visitor

By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — After a two-
year chase, a NASA spacecraft arrived
Monday at the ancient asteroid Bennu, its
first visitor in billions of years.
The robotic explorer Osiris-Rex pulled
within 12 miles of the diamond-shaped
space rock. It will get even closer in the
days ahead and go into orbit around Bennu
on Dec. 31. No spacecraft has ever orbited
such a small cosmic body.
It is the first U.S. attempt to gather
asteroid samples for return to Earth, some-
thing only Japan has accomplished so far.
Flight controllers applauded and
exchanged high-fives once confirmation
came through that Osiris-Rex made it to
Bennu — exactly one week after NASA
landed a spacecraft on Mars.
“Relieved, proud, and anxious to start
exploring!” tweeted lead scientist Dante
Lauretta of the University of Arizona. “To
Bennu and back!”
With Bennu some 76 million miles
away, it took seven minutes for word to
get from the spacecraft to flight con-
trollers at Lockheed Martin in Littleton,
Colorado. The company built the space-
craft there.
Bennu is estimated to be just over 1,600
feet across. Researchers will provide a
more precise description at a scientific
meeting next Monday in Washington.
About the size of an SUV, the spacecraft
will shadow the asteroid for a year, before
scooping up some gravel for return to
Earth in 2023.
Scientists are eager to study material
from a carbon-rich asteroid like dark
Bennu, which could hold evidence dating
back to the beginning of our solar system
4.5 billion years ago. As such, it’s an
astronomical time capsule.
A Japanese spacecraft, meanwhile, has
been hanging out at another near-Earth
asteroid since June, also for samples. It is
Japan’s second asteroid mission. This lat-
est rock is named Ryugu and about double
the size of Bennu.
Ryugu’s specks should be here by
December 2020, but will be far less than
Osiris-Rex’s promised booty.
Osiris-Rex aims to collect at least 60
grams, or 2 ounces, of dust and gravel.

Court reinstates suit over
California ballot party listing
SAN FRANCISCO — A U.S. appeals court has revived a
lawsuit challenging California’s restriction on the political
party preference that candidates can list on ballots.
The state currently allows one of six political parties to
appear next to candidates’ names as their party preference.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in 2-1 ruling
Monday that the rule imposed more than a slight burden on
a candidate’s rights. It reversed a lower court decision dis-
missing the case.
A spokesman for the California secretary of state’s office,
Sam Mahood, declined comment.
The lawsuit was brought by Emidio Soltysik, who wanted
to list his party preference as “Socialist Party USA. He was
instead listed as having no party preference because the
Socialist Party was not a qualified party listing.
Push for legalization of
psychedelic mushrooms in Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon’s attorney general has
approved language for a ballot measure to make psychedel-
ic mushrooms legal.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that the measure
would reduce criminal penalties for the manufacture, deliv-
ery and possession of psilocybin — the hallucinogen con-
tained in psychedelic mushrooms.
The Oregon Psilocybin Society plans this month to start
gathering the 140,000 signatures necessary to get the
measure onto the ballot in 2020.
The number of signatures required is nearly equal to the
population of Salem.
The federal government controlled use of mushrooms in
the 1970s.
Person plunges from highway
ramp during illegal car show
SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities say a person plunged 50
feet from an elevated California freeway off-ramp during an
illegal demonstration of car stunts.
California Highway Patrol Officer Sean Wilkenfeld says
the show was reported just before midnight Saturday on the
Interstate 80 on- and off-ramps for Crockett.
Responding authorities found about 100 cars and 300
people. Wilkenfeld says cars were parked along the ramps
and fireworks were being set off.
Wilkenfeld says one person fell or jumped from the west-
bound on-ramp to a street below.

Qatar will pull out of OPEC amid tension with Saudi Arabia
By Jon Gambrell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The tiny,
energy-rich Arab nation of Qatar announced
on Monday it will withdraw from OPEC in
January, mixing its aspirations to increase
production outside of the cartel’s con-
straints with the politics of slighting the
Saudi-dominated group amid the kingdom’s
boycott of Doha.
The surprise announcement from Qatar’s
minister of state for energy affairs, Saad
Sherida al-Kaabi, again throws into ques-
tion the role of the cartel after needing non-
members to push through a production cut
in 2016 after prices crashed below $30 a
barrel.
It also marks the first time a Mideast
nation has left the cartel since its founding
in 1960.
In a statement, al-Kaabi said Qatar, the
world’s largest exporter of liquified natural
gas, planned to increase its exports from 77
million tons of gas per year to 110 million
tons. He also said Qatar wants to raise its
oil production.
“In light of such efforts and plans, and in
our pursuit to strengthen Qatar’s position
as a reliable and trustworthy energy suppli-
er across the globe, we had to take steps to
review Qatar’s role and contributions on the
international energy scene,” al-Kaabi said.
There was no immediate comment from
Vienna-based OPEC, which is to meet this
month and discuss possible production
cuts. In November, Saudi Energy Minister
Khalid al-Falih said OPEC and allied oil-
producing countries will likely need to cut
crude supplies, perhaps by as much as 1 mil-
lion barrels of oil a day, to rebalance the
market.
Qatar produces only some 600,000 bar-
rels of crude oil a day, making it OPEC’s
11th biggest producer. The loss of produc-
tion, under 2 percent of overall OPEC sup-
ply a day, won’t greatly affect the cartel’s
position in the market.
Anas Alhajji, an oil analyst, said Qatar’s
decision “has no impact on the market
either way whether they’re in or they’re
out.”

California turning its back on wind energy
The Fresno Bee
I
n the 1980s, California was a wind
energy superpower — No. 1 not just
in the United States, but also in the
world.
As scores of huge turbines appeared in
places like the Altamont Pass east of San
Francisco and San Gorgonio Pass near
Palm Springs, a name was coined: The
Great California Wind Rush.
That era is over. While wind and solar are
lumped together in almost every discussion
of California’s energy future, wind is lag-
ging, and political resistance is one of the
reasons.
Several counties, including Los Angeles,
San Bernardino and San Diego, have passed
restrictions discouraging or banning devel-
opment of large-scale commercial winds
farms. Naturally, those are the very places
most suited to harnessing wind energy.
When weighed against the benefits of
switching to renewable energy, some of the
reasons for banning wind turbines are
ridiculously flimsy, unreasonable and self-
ish.
Windmills have been blamed for ruining
views; disturbing desert habitat; eating up
too much rural land; killing bats and birds
(never mind that fossil fuels kill far more
birds, as do cats); and creating a nuisance
for nearby residents with noise and blink-
ing lights.
Even President Trump has weighed in on
the evils of wind turbines; before he
became president, he famously opposed the
installation of wind turbines off the coast
of his golf course in Scotland.
“I want to see the ocean, I do not want to
see windmills,” he harrumphed at the time.

Trump’s campaign against the windmills
was ultimately unsuccessful.
That hasn’t been the case in California;
as a result of restrictions, onshore wind
farm developers “have packed up and left,”
said Nancy Rader, executive director of the
California Wind Energy Association.
Texas now produces four times as much
wind energy as California, which has fallen
to No. 4 in the United States — not a
promising trend, given the state’s ambi-
tious goal of switching to 100 percent
renewable energy by 2045.
New opportunities for wind energy have
surfaced offshore, but those, too, face hur-
dles.
Take the floating wind farm proposed off
the coast of Morro Bay, in San Luis Obispo
County. If approved, the development
would generate 1,000 megawatts — enough
to power 300,000 homes.
A Facebook group, Stop the Morro Bay
Offshore Wind Farm, cites an array of con-
cerns, including bird kills, dangers to
migrating whales, an increase in marine
traffic, effects of turbine vibrations on
marine life, and obstruction of ocean
views. Although the turbines would be sited
more than 30 miles offshore, opponents
say they could still be visible, especially
at night.
“Turning our coastline into a nighttime
Christmas light brigade is reason enough
to prevent this atrocity from happening!
STOP THE MADNESS!!!” wrote one oppo-
nent.
Even the head of Hearst Corp., one of the
largest landowners in the region, worries
that turbines could spoil the view from the

Mateo. We are inconvenienced for nearly a
year.
Calls to the city of Foster City require an
extension or the call is disconnected. The

This is really an unacceptable situation
for everyone in Foster City.

“When anybody walks into any room
facing west in the Castle, they’ll walk by
all the artifacts, all the artworks,” Stephen
Hearst told a reporter for the San Luis
Obispo Tribune. “They walk to the window
and say, ‘You’ve got to be kidding!’
It’s doubtful that visitors to Hearst Castle
would be distracted by wind turbines far off
shore.
If they are, so what? Having a view “dis-
rupted” by windmills is a minuscule price
to pay when weighed against the benefits
of stopping or at least slowing the devas-
tating, worldwide effects of climate
change.
We already are seeing those: deadly wild-
fires, shrinking glaciers, loss of land to
rising seas, destruction of coral reefs, dis-
ruption of food supplies.
And we’re not going to do everything in
our power to prevent that, in order to safe-
guard our precious views?
That’s almost as bad as refusing to
acknowledge that climate change is real.
It’s merely a more subtle form of denial —
an insistence that we still have the luxury
of allowing relatively minor annoyances
derail plans to transition away from coal
and oil and natural gas.
We don’t. It’s time to wake up and realize
that if we are going to transition to 100
percent renewables, have to accept that
solar panels and wind turbines will be part
of our landscape.
At the local level, counties that have
closed their doors to wind energy need to
rethink their policies.
And at the state level, Gov.-elect Gavin
Newsom and our state lawmakers must work
not only on removing impediments to
wind energy, but also on incentivizing its
development.

Symbol of hope
F
rom the age of humanity’s incep-
tion, light has been our single great-
est unifying symbol of hope. Every
holiday season, I am reminded of this when I
see countless Christmas lights illuminate
darkened city streets and flame-lit candles
burning bright to commemorate holiday tra-
dition. For me, holiday lights are far more
than collections of wiring and brightly col-
ored bulbs. At least once per year, many of
us display holiday lights, sharing with the
world our collec-
tive belief that no
matter how dark
and desolate the
night may appear,
lights will always
continue to shine.
In the
Christmas tradi-
tion, we recog-
nize the star that
brought light to
Bethlehem’s east-
ern sky at the
Jonathan Madison
birth of Jesus
Christ. The birth of Jesus symbolizes the
bright lantern of hope for all mankind
among the world’s darkest corridors. This
season reminds us that at our core,
humankind has the capacity to embody — as
Jesus did — an unending, unfailing and all
encompassing love for one another. In fact,
that was Jesus’ purpose here on Earth — to
live as God’s incarnation. To exemplify how
to embrace love amidst a world in which evil
is pervasive.
In the Jewish faith, the Festival of Lights
commemorates Hanukkah. Hanukkah recog-
nizes the day that Maccabean Jews rededicat-
ed the Temple after regaining control of
Jerusalem. For eight nights, a new flame is
kindled on the Menorah, symbolizing a
divine and persistent light amidst the dark-
ness of our ever-changing world.
The African-American community cele-
brates Kwanzaa, a day that commemorates
African culture, spirit and traditions. The
practice of lighting seven candles recog-
nizes age-old principles enshrined in the
memory of the African culture. The holiday
commemorates values and concepts of ances-
tors, preserving its customs and resilient
spirit.
Consistent with these traditions, one of
my favorite biblical passages comes from
the book of Matthew 5:14. In this passage,
Jesus gave one of his profound Sermon on
the Mount before a crowd of hundreds. Jesus
explained that in spite of the flaws intrinsic
to our humanity, that each of us possesses an
everlasting light. “You are the light of the
world. Let your light shine before others,”
he said, “that others may see your good
deeds.” This passage is unique as it shows us
that Jesus did not consider himself the only
“light” of the world. In fact, this passage
demonstrates that, despite our inevitable
shortcomings that come with being human,
each and every one of us possesses a flame in
the darkness of our ever-changing world.
The light that Jesus refers to is our vision,
spirit and purpose. Like the parable of the
flame above, each of us undoubtedly face
moments in which our flames are tested with
abrupt winds, discouraging rain and the
forceful storms of failure.
We should never fail to let the light from
our flames shine. Our flames will inevitably
be put to the test by wind and rain — the dis-
couragement of others, financial difficulties
and the dim prospects of making our visions
a reality. When darkness arises, we must
remember the law of impermanence — that
turbulent winds and rainstorms cannot last
forever.
I truly believe that hope lives within each
and every one of us. And, if we are willing to
share it, we can experience hope on Earth
daily. Let our holiday gift this year to the
world be the very light from our flames.
Together, let us light the world with a new
hope.

market’s gains from last week.
The broad rally, which lost
some of its early morning
momentum, followed gains in
overseas markets as investors
welcomed news of the temporary,
90-day stand-down, which was
agreed to over dinner between
President Donald Trump and his
Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping
at the G-20 summit over the
weekend.
The long-running dispute
between the world’s two largest
economies has rattled investors
for months, stoking traders’ fears
that it could begin dragging down
corporate profits and weighing
on global economic growth.
“We’re going to have to see
what happens over these 90
days,” said Tom Martin, senior
portfolio manager at Globalt
Investments. “In the meantime,
you’re not getting an increase in
the tariffs, so that’s an interim
positive.”

turnaround for the market, which

market’s gains Monday, offset-

climbed as U.S. crude oil prices
rose sharply.
U.S. traders observed a moment
of silence before markets opened
Monday in honor of former
President George H.W. Bush, who
died Friday at 94. The New York
Stock Exchange and Nasdaq said

Where are the drones? Amazon’s customers are still waiting

By David Koenig
and Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jeff Bezos boldly predicted five
years ago that drones would be car-
rying Amazon packages to peo-
ple’s doorsteps by now.
Amazon customers are still wait-
ing. And it’s unclear when, if ever,
this particular order by the compa-
ny’s founder and CEO will arrive.
Bezos made billions of dollars
by transforming the retail sector.
But overcoming the regulatory
hurdles and safety issues posed by
drones appears to be a challenge
even for the world’s wealthiest
man. The result is a blown dead-
line on his claim to CBS’ “60
Minutes” in December 2013 that
drones would be making deliveries
within five years.
The day may not be far off when
drones will carry medicine to peo-
ple in rural or remote areas, but the
marketing hype around instant
delivery of consumer goods looks
more and more like just that —
hype. Drones have a short battery
life, and privacy concerns can be a
hindrance, too.
“I don’t think you will see deliv-
ery of burritos or diapers in the
suburbs, ” says drone analyst
Colin Snow.
Drone usage has grown rapidly
in some industries, but mostly
outside the retail sector and direct
interaction with consumers.
The government estimates that
about 110,000 commercial drones
are operating in U.S. airspace, and
the number is expected to soar to
about 450,000 in 2022. They are
being used in rural areas for min-
ing and agriculture, for inspecting
power lines and pipelines, and for
surveying. Amazon says it is still
pushing ahead with plans to use
drones for quick deliveries,
though the company is staying
away from fixed timelines.
“We are committed to making
our goal of delivering packages by
drones in 30 minutes or less a real-
ity,” says Amazon spokeswoman
Kristen Kish. The Seattle-based
online retail giant says it has
drone development centers in the
United States, Austria, France,
Israel and the United Kingdom.
Delivery companies have been
testing the use of drones to deliver
emergency supplies and to cover
ground quickly in less populated
areas. By contrast, package deliv-
eries would be concentrated in
office parks and neighborhoods
where there are bigger issues
around safety and privacy.
In May, the Trump administra-
tion approved a three-year pro-
gram for private companies and
local government agencies to test
drones for deliveries, inspections
and other tasks.
But pilot programs by major
delivery companies suggest few
Americans will be greeted by
package-bearing drones any time
soon. United Parcel Service tested
launching a drone from a delivery
truck that was covering a rural
route in Florida.

San Francisco Marriott hotel workers vote on new contract

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Marriott
hotel workers in San Francisco
voted Monday on a new contract,
bringing a possible end to a coast-
to-coast effort by workers for bet-
ter wages and job security from the
world’s largest hotel operator.
San Francisco is the last holdout
of eight U.S. cities where nearly
8, 000 Marriott hotel workers
went on strike in October.
Last week, workers from hotels
in Maui and Waikiki agreed to a
new labor agreement and they are
back at work at hotels such as the
noticeably pink-hued The Royal
Hawaiian in Honolulu. Earlier in
November, Boston hotel workers
ended a 45-day strike after ratify-
ing a new contract.
In San Francisco, nearly 2,500
union members UNITE HERE
Local 2 have were deciding
whether to ratify the agreement
and end a two-month strike that
disrupted guests’ conferences and
vacations.
The vote came after union lead-
ership and management reached a
tentative contract agreement early
Monday.
No details of the tentative agree-
ment were immediately disclosed.
During the strike, groups of
union members picketed and
chanted outside hotels in the
city’s heavily visited downtown.
If the workers vote to ratify the
agreement, they will go back to
their jobs Wednesday at hotels
such as the Marriott Union Square,
the Palace Hotel and the Westin St.
Francis.

in M-A’s CCS Open Division I championship
victory Friday night over Wilcox. The Bears
got off to a miserable start, yielding 21
straight points through the opening 13 min-
ior linebacker Daniel Heimuli. MacLeod
responded with consecutive completions of
8, 4 and 4 yards.
Then, after throwing incomplete on sec-
ond down, and M-A facing third-and-6 from
the Wilcox 29, MacLeod was staring down
the barrel of a broke play. He rolled out of
the pocket and soon had two Wilcox defend-
ers bearing down on him.
“I was like, ‘uh-oh, what do I do now?’”
MacLeod said. “So, I just started running to
my right, and then I had the (defensive)
linemen paying attention to me, and I just
lofted it over them.”
Anderson was wide open at the 10-yard
line to make the catch and battle his way
across the goal line to close the score to 28-
27. As MacLeod returned to the sideline,
however, he heard the roar of the M-A crowd
suddenly turn to a hush when the point-after
try was blocked.
With just 6:07 remaining, this meant the
freshman would have to do it again. And
once again, the mighty M-A defense gave
him the chance, producing a three-and-out
to force a punt, giving the Bears the ball
back at the Wilcox 31 with 5:30 to play.
MacLeod was greeted with a sack, losing
6 yards. But he responded by turning anoth-
er desperate rollout into a 5-yard comple-
tion to Wang. On third-and-11, he hit Wang
again, this time for a 15-yard pickup.
With that, Ravipati realized he had

finest moment. With Franklin working his
way around the right side, MacLeod pitched
the ball behind his target, forcing Franklin
to readjust and come back for the ball.
“I pitched it short, so he really just saved
me day because he just came back for it and
he reversed the field,” MacLeod said. “Not
many people can do that.”
In changing direction, Franklin flew
around the left side for a dazzling 11-yard
score to give M-A its first lead with 3:33 to
play at 33-28 — the winning score, and M-
A’s second CCS Open Division I title in
three years.
“It was amazing,” MacLeod said. “It was a
great feeling. One of the best I’ve ever had.”
Not a bad ride for a kid who played the
entire regular season with the junior-varsity
squad. The JV Bears lost just one game all
year, but MacLeod wasn’t relied on to throw
the ball with regularity as the team was run
intensive. The freshman said he surpassed
20 pass attempts in just one game all sea-
son.
MacLeod wasn’t even cleared to play var-
sity football until the final week of the reg-
ular season. As a 14-year-old freshman, he
required specific consent from his parents
and a doctor, both of which needed clearance
from M-A’s coaching staff, principal and
the CCS.
Now, he’s just one of the guys.
MacLeod’s final line was 10-of-18 pass-
ing for 118 yards — for the game and, cur-
rently, for his varsity career.
And returning to school was a Monday
like no other.
“It’s been awesome, ” MacLeod said.
“We’ve been walking around high-fiving all
day.”

Breida out this week with ankle injury
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — The San Francisco
49ers will be without another key offensive
piece with leading rusher Matt Breida side-
lined at least a week with an injured ankle.
Breida hurt himself in warmups before
Sunday’s 43-16 loss at Seattle that officially
eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention.
Breida tried to play through the injury but
eventually couldn’t and left the game.
He finished the game with five carries for
six yards and three catches for 51 yards.
Rookie Jeff Wilson fared well in just his
second career game, carrying 15 times for
61 yards and adding eight catches for 73
yards. He also lost a disputed fumble near
the goal line that coach Kyle Shanahan felt
should have been ruled down by contact.
“He hits the hole and he runs hard,”
Shanahan said. “He’s a very good zone run-
ner. He doesn’t mess around. He sets his
track. When he sees an open gap, he puts
his foot down and goes for it.”
Breida has been one of the few bright
spots on offense this season for the 49ers,
rushing for 744 yards and ranking third in
the league with an average of 5.64 yards per
carry.
He got his chance because projected
starter Jerick McKinnon went down with a
season-ending knee injury a week before the
opener. San Francisco also lost starting
quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-
ending knee injury in Week 3 and has strug-
gled for any consistency on offense.
The Niners will get a bit of a boost this
week with the expected return of speedy
receiver Marquise Goodwin to the lineup.
Goodwin has missed the past two games
while dealing with a serious family matter
but was at the facility Monday and expected
to be back at practice on Wednesday.

ALAMEDA — Coach Jon Gruden knows
the Raiders aren’t nearly good enough to

to be able to beat one of the top teams in the

the stretch run of what has been a mostly
lost season. Instead, San Francisco returned
from the bye and lost 27-9 at Tampa Bay and
then was hammered by the Seahawks.
The 49ers will try to avoid tying a fran-
chise worst with a third straight loss by at
least 17 points at home on Sunday against
Denver. The Niners had three-game skids of
losses of at least 17 points in 1963, 1999,
2005 and 2016.
“We didn’t play very well,” Shanahan
said. “That doesn’t go into they didn’t
respond to my challenge. You have to play
very good football to win games and we
haven’t done that enough consistently in
all three phases throughout the year. Magic

can control. We have four games left. We
know we’re eliminated from the playoffs.

Shanahan also explained why he got so
incensed at the officials after an offside call
in the third quarter against Elijah Lee, who
was trying to run on the field to replace Fred
Warner while the Seahawks were in hurry-up
mode.
Shanahan said Warner’s shoe fell off on
the previous play and Seattle quarterback
Russell Wilson threw it out of the way, forc-
ing Warner to run and pick it up behind the
line of scrimmage and Lee to try to rush on
to take his place.
“I’m not saying he did that maliciously or
anything. Who knows?” Shanahan said.

my tipping point.”

Stephanie Gilmore is considered one of the
greatest surfers in the history of the sport.
Gimore proves
a trailblazer in
equal pay fight
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If Australia’s Stephanie Gilmore captures
the gold medal when surfing makes its
Olympic debut two years from now, it might
not be her most meaningful win.
Gilmore, who is talked about as possibly
the greatest athlete of all time in her sport,
takes pride in being on the ground floor in
the fight for a prize that could have a longer-
lasting impact: equal pay for women on the
professional tour where she and her rivals
make their living.
The World Surf League put itself in rare
company earlier this year with its decision
to begin paying women the same as men,
starting in 2019. While the majors and a few
other tournaments in tennis have committed
to paying women and men equal prize
money, the WSL is the first U.S.-based
global sports league to make that move.
The fight for equal pay begun decades ago
by Billie Jean King on the tennis courts —
and still waged daily in corporations across
America that have nothing to do with sports
— has found a toehold on the beach.
“Sports are the perfect platform to show
equality,” Gilmore said last week, after cap-
turing her record-tying seventh season title.
“In most workplaces, what people make is
completely private. In ours, the prize
money is public knowledge.”
When the 30-year-old champion started
surfing on tour, women typically made
around $12,000 for a win, while men — led
by 11-time champion Kelly Slater — would
rake in around $40,000.
“Surfing was not a career path,” Slater recalled
of his youth, in the HBO surf documentary

our side of the building.”
Despite another loss that sent the Raiders
to their 12th season of at least 10 losses in
the past 16 years, Gruden was able to glean
some positives, especially with the play
from the offense.
Oakland ran for 171 yards for its biggest
day on the ground since Week 2 in 2017.
The Raiders averaged 6.1 yards per carry but
were hurt by the fumbles from Doug Martin,
Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington.
Quarterback Derek Carr had one of his
best games yet, throwing for 285 yards and
three touchdowns, while extending his
streak of games without an interception to
seven in a row, tying Rich Gannon’s fran-
chise record.
Carr even managed to stretch the field a
bit, completing five passes that traveled at
least 15 yards downfield, tied for his most
in a single game in the past two seasons.
“I think the offensive line has gotten
healthy. I think that helps,” Gruden said. “I
think we’re healthier up front. Derek has

played good football. I think that’s a great
combination. When you’re healthy upfront
and you’ve got some continuity with your

of your offense. Derek has been hot. He’s
been playing well. He’s really picking up
the system well. He made some great audi-
bles yesterday. He made some great throws.
I’m excited about that.”
But it wasn’t enough in part because of the
fumbles, the holding penalty on center
Rodney Hudson that wiped out a fourth-
down conversion on the opening drive and
the offside penalty against Fadol Brown
that extended Kansas City’s game-sealing
touchdown drive.

Mariners set sights on 2021 by
dealing Cano, Diaz and Segura
By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Mariners fans have waited
longer than any supporters in North
America for a return to the postseason.
General manager Jerry Dipoto is asking
Seattle to wait a little bit more.
Dipoto continued a whirlwind reshaping
of the Mariners’ roster Monday by sending
Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to the Mets
and Jean Segura, James Pazos and Juan
Nicasio to Philadelphia. In exchange,
Seattle received a bundle of prospects and
freed up significant salary space for after the
2020 season.
Dipoto believes the flurry of moves he’s
made in the past few weeks can get the
Mariners into contention by 2021, calling
the strategy a “step back” rather than a
rebuild, even though it could take longer
than a couple of seasons for Seattle to return
to relevancy.

begin the offseason. Salary and experience
are being swapped for youth and hope, with
an eye on opening a competitive window
when the American League’s current super-
powers — including AL West-rival Houston
— may finally take a step back.
Patience is a big ask from a fan base that
hasn’t seen the playoffs since 2001, the
longest postseason drought in North
American professional sports.
Still, there’s a significant amount of talent
that has left Seattle in the past few weeks.
Cano and Diaz — gone to the Mets.
Segura, Nicasio, Pazos — gone to
Philadelphia.
James Paxton — gone to the Yankees.
Alex Colome — gone to the White Sox.
Mike Zunino, Guillermo Heredia — gone
to Tampa Bay.
Many of those moves were expected as
Seattle figured to shed salary and try to get
younger after finishing third in the AL West
despite an 89-73 record.

Empty boxes top
high-tech toys on
doctor’s wish list
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Skip the costly electronic games and flashy digital giz-

mos. Pediatricians say the best toys for tots are old-fash-
ioned hands-on playthings that young children can enjoy
with parents — things like blocks, puzzles — even throw-
away cardboard boxes — that spark imagination and cre-
ativity.
“A cardboard box can be used to draw on, or made into a
house,” said Dr. Alan Mendelsohn, co-author of a new
report on selecting toys for young children, up to around
age 5.
Many parents feel pressured by ads promoting tablet-
based toys and games as educational and brain-stimulating
but there’s not much science to back up those claims,
Mendelsohn said. Their main misconception: “The toy that REUTERS
is best is the one that is the most expensive or has the most Doctors say simple hands-on toys are preferable for healthy development.
bells and whistles or is the most technologically sophisti-
cated.”
Simpler hands-on toys that parents and young children
can play with together are preferable for healthy develop-
ment, said Mendelsohn, a pediatrician at NYU Langone
Health in New York.
The report published Monday by the American Academy
of Pediatrics cites studies suggesting that heavy use of elec-
tronic media may interfere with children’s speech and lan-
guage development, replace important playtime with par-
ents and lead to obesity.
Studies also have found that more than 90 percent of U.S.
kids have used mobile devices and most started using them
before age 1.
The pediatricians’ group recommends no screen time for
children up to age 2, and says total screen time including TV

How many kids have autism? Government measures three ways
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
How many American children have autism?
The U.S. government answers that question
at least three different ways and says the lat-
est estimate — 1 in 40 kids — doesn’t neces-
sarily mean the numbers are rising.
The new number, published last Monday in
Pediatrics, is from one of three periodic sur-
veys the government uses to assess autism
rates. It’s higher than a different survey’s
estimate published earlier this year, but the
surveys use different methods and measure
different populations of kids so the results
aren’t really comparable.
Because there’s no medical test, “autism
spectrum disorder is a particularly challeng-
ing condition to track,” government
researchers wrote in the Pediatrics report.

The true occurrence of autism likely ranges
from about 1 in 59 kids to 1 in 40 kids,
researchers say, taking into account infor-
mation from all three surveys.
“All contribute different information to
form a fuller picture,” said Michael Kogan,
lead author of the new report conducted by
the U.S. Health Resources & Services
Administration, a federal agency.
Various reports in recent years have sug-
gested autism rates are rising slightly.
Experts think that’s mostly because of earli-
er diagnosis, an expanded definition and
more awareness, but say they can’t rule out a
true increase caused by unknown factors.
Here’s a rundown
on the three surveys:
• The latest estimate is based on responses
from about 43,000 parents of kids aged 3 to
retroactively applies the new amortization
policy to the city’s unfunded liability.
Finance Director Thomas Fil recommended
that option, which he said will allow the
city to pay off its unfunded liability by
2040 and save $8.3 million in interest.
As of June of last year, the city has funded
71.2 percent of its liability with $35.3 mil-
lion still unfunded.
Another option would be to make no addi-
tional discretionary payments and pay only
what is required and a third option is to pay
an additional discretionary payment of
$400,000 — a number Fil described as
“manageable” for Belmont — to CalPERS
each year. The former would allow Belmont
to pay off its liability by 2044 and save
nothing in interest and the latter would
mean the liability is paid off by 2036 and
the city saves just $328,046 in interest.

17. They were asked if their child had ever
been diagnosed with autism spectrum disor-
der, the formal name that encompasses mild
to severe cases. The 2016 survey was inter-
net-based; earlier ones were telephone sur-
veys showing slightly higher rates but the
researchers say the results aren’t compara-
ble.
The nationally representative survey sug-
gests that about 1.5 million U.S. kids have
autism — 2.5 percent or 1 in 40.
• The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevent collects nationally representative
information from in-person interviews. In
2016, it also asked parents of kids aged 3 to
17 about an ever-diagnosis of autism and
came up with a rate slightly higher than in
previous years but similar to the 1 in 40 esti-
mate.
• The CDC also uses an 11-state tracking
“Given the fact that we’re going to save a
lot and I mean a lot of money over time and
the fact that there’s barely, in the grand
scheme of things, any temporal difference
for when we get to zero between the retro
mimic and $400,000 ADP, and given the
fact that we’re not locking ourselves into
anything and we’ll have a yearly discussion
about this, I think we should be moving
towards retro mimic if we can afford it,” said
Councilman Charles Stone.
With retro mimic, the city pays as much
as $800,000 more a year than those other
two options until 2022 when annual contri-
butions begin to drop. Between 2024 and
2036, the retro mimic plan means the low-
est annual contribution of the three
options.
But paying more in the next few years
means less money those years for capital

“A little bit of screen time here and there
is unlikely to have much harm if a child oth-
erwise has other activity, ” Mendelsohn
said. But he added that screen time can over-
whelm young children and is difficult to
limit and control.

system. It’s based on health and school
records showing which kids meet criteria for
autism, focusing on 8-year-olds because
most cases are diagnosed by that age. A
report from this network released in April,
showed that 1 in 59 kids have autism
although much higher rates were found in
some places. This estimate is considered the
most rigorous, but it’s not nationally repre-
sentative.
Autism Speaks, an advocacy group, is
among organizations that use the CDC’s net-
work estimate. It tends be more conservative
and potentially more accurate than parents’
reports, said neuroscientist Dean Hartley, a
senior director for the group.

councilmembers suggested.
Ira Summer, a public pension expert con-
sulting with the city, also suggested coun-
cilmembers may regret choosing the retro
mimic option if CalPERS were to lose
money in an economic downtown, though
he said such a scenario is unlikely.
“It’s possible but it would be something
that hasn’t happened with them in the
past,” he said. “Historically [CalPERS] has
not lost money for more than short periods
of time and even when the markets go
down, because of their diverse portfolio of
investments, they tend to make a little
money instead of losing money or making
a lot.”
The new pension funding method will be
implemented with the fiscal year 2020
budget.

said she supports the academy’s advice
even if avoiding digital toys and games is
tough.
She said she’s noticed her two young boys

rides.
“We try to keep it as minimal as possi-
ble,” Graham Stewart said. “I just tell them
to go outside and play.”
Erika Evers, Dancing Bear’s co-owner,
said the store’s mission is to give kids an
alternative to tech toys.
“Not that video games and electronic toys
don’t have their place — in moderation, in
our opinion,” she said. “But we feel like
kids really need opportunities to socialize
and interact with their environment in a way
that is hands-on and tangible.”

CADENCE
Continued from page 1
Council voted 4-1, with Vice Mayor
Karyl Matsumoto opposing, allowing
Sares Regis to start the next chapter of
construction for the Cadence project
adjacent to the newly-designed
Caltrain station.
Work will soon begin on an eight-
story tower designed to house 195
market-rate units at the corner of
Miller and Cypress avenues across the
street from the first phase of the proj-
ect where 260 units are under construc-
tion, according to the decision
Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Councilman Mark Addiego
expressed his support for the new proj-
ect, which advocates claim will revi-
talize stale properties while also offer-
ing badly-needed additional housing
units.
“All the pieces are coming together
and I remain excited about the change
and the improvements we are able to
bring with other people’s invest-
ments,” said Addiego, according to
video of the meeting.
Councilman Pradeep Gupta also
spoke in favor of the project, specifi-
cally in its contribution to the city’s
fight against the housing affordability
crisis.
“We need projects like this. We need
more housing, not only in South San
Francisco … but for the region,” said
Gupta, also noting the project’s prox-
imity to a train station which is slated
to soon be relocated closer to down-
town as an additional perk.
Construction on the second phase of
the development should begin next
year, at which point units from the
first phase of the building should be
ready for occupancy, Sares Regis repre-
DEFICIT
Continued from page 1
Among the initiatives considered to
be addressed include a fire station
rebuild expected to cost between $10
million and $12 million, as well
increased investment in local streets
to the tune of about $6 million to $8
million, fixing the stormwater system
and financing about $7 million in
deferred maintenance.
To generate more money for such
efforts, officials will seek to identify
operational efficiencies, beef up enter-
prise accounts, examine fee structures
and look into the feasibility of a new
tax, said Grogan.
Should officials wish to pursue a tax
as soon as next fall, Councilman
Marty Medina said work should begin
in short order.

sentatives said.
Not all officials were laudatory
though, as Matsumoto said she could
not support the project due partially to
the downtown disruption generated by
the first phase of work.
As construction carries on through
development of the 260 units,
Matsumoto said the traffic congestion
and other transportation headaches
caused ultimately deter her from
attempting to navigate the city’s core
commercial corridor.
“I don’t go downtown unless I’m
going to City Hall, because it is a
gauntlet,” she said.
Traffic and parking problems grew
so severe that the owner of nearby
Bertolucci’s Ristorante authored a let-
ter detailing frustrations that construc-
tion was harming his business, and
that its size after completion would
block the eatery’s iconic sign.
City officials said they have
attempted to work with the merchant
to quell those concerns, but with limit-
ed success, and felt the efforts to
address such issues have been exhaust-
ed.
Beyond the traffic congestion con-
cerns, Matusmoto also suggested she
“It’s going to have to happen pretty,
pretty soon, ” he said. “We should
probably start talking about that.”
Grogan agreed, and said officials
could begin laying the groundwork for
the effort in the early part of next year.
In all, he said the variety of efforts
could push into 2020.
Beyond examining the potential for
a tax measure, Grogan suggested it
might be wise for the city to hire an
economic development director who
could oversee ways for San Bruno to
broaden its business interests.
He also called for establishment of a
long-term financial plan which proj-
ects as far as 10 years out into the
future, beyond the city’s annual budget
planning process.
Such an suggestion comes with
acknowledgment that the city’s
unfunded liability will grow through
an obligation to increase payments to
the pension plans for retired workers.
Grogan said he expects the city’s pen-

was uncomfortable with the building
height, with fears that the develop-
ment was inconsistent with South San
Francisco’s architectural and commu-
nity character.
“I love our downtown and this is part
of downtown and I like the character
but we look like Redwood City,” she
said. “And that’s what is bothering me
so much. I support the project, but not
at that height.”
In response, a representative from
Sares Regis though said the company
could not afford to shrink the project,
as the loss of units would likely throw
off its financing. Alternatively, others
noted the project would offer infra-
structural upgrades and fund communi-
ty improvements to public parks and
other public spaces through generous
development fee contributions.
Meanwhile, Councilman Rich
Garbarino suggested he felt the project
went far to improve the quality of life
in central South San Francisco.
“I like the project, we need the hous-
ing and this is the place to do it,” he
said.
Gupta shared a similar perspective.
“I’m completely in favor of this
project,” said Gupta.
sion share will increase by $5 million
over the next five years, with a projec-
tion that its allocation could rise by
about $1.5 million in the coming year.
Reticent to paint too gloomy of a
financial forecast though, Grogan
noted the city is protected from some
volatility by a hearty slate of reserves
of more than $14 million dedicated to
address emergencies, capital projects
or annual budget shortfalls. He but-
tressed his optimism by noting the
city’s budget is growing as well due to
a healthy local economy.
With the variety of factors working
in favor of the city’s favor, Grogan
encouraged officials to move forward
with examining the potential addition-
al revenue streams during a period of
relative economic health.
“Now is really the time to wrap our
arms around the problem,” he said.
For his part, Councilman Michael
Salazar agreed.
“Sounds like a great plan,” he said.

short ceremony before the rotunda was to at both the library and a park in downtown Shortly before leaving the service, he

BUSH
Continued from page 1
President from 1989 to 1993, Bush died
Friday at age 94.
In an invocation opening Monday
evening’s ceremony, the U.S. House chap-
lain, the Rev. Patrick J Conroy, praised
Bush’s commitment to public service,
from Navy pilot to congressman, U.N.
ambassador, envoy to China and then CIA
director before being elected vice president
and then president.
“Here lies a great man,” said Rep. Paul
Ryan, the House speaker, and “a gentle
soul. ... His legacy is grace perfected.”
Vice President Mike Pence and
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell
also spoke. President Donald Trump did not
attend, but he and first lady Melania Trump
came to the Capitol later Monday to pay
tribute. They stood in front of the casket
with their eyes closed for a few moments,
before Trump saluted the casket.
Political combatants set aside their
fights to honor a Republican who led in a
less toxic era and at times found common-
ality with Democrats despite sharp policy
disagreements. Democratic Rep. Nancy
Pelosi, past and incoming House speaker,
exchanged a warm hug with George W.
Bush and came away dabbing her face.
Bush himself seemed to be holding back
tears.
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the Senate
Democratic leader, placed wreaths in the
be opened to the public. It was to remain
open overnight.
Sent off from Texas with a 21-gun salute,
Bush’s casket was carried to Joint Base
Andrews outside the capital city aboard an
aircraft that often serves as Air Force One
and designated “Special Air Mission 41” in
honor of Bush’s place on the chronologi-
cal list of presidents. His eldest son, for-
mer President George W. Bush, and others
from the family traveled on the flight from
Houston.
Cannon fire roared again outside the
Capitol as the sun sank and the younger
President Bush stood with his hand over
his heart, watching the casket’s proces-
sion up the steps.
Bush was remembered just feet away from
what he called “Democracy’s front porch,”
the west-facing steps of the Capitol where
he was sworn in as president.
He will lie in state in the Capitol for pub-
lic visitation through Wednesday. An invi-
tation-only funeral service, which the
Trumps will attend, is set for Wednesday at
Washington National Cathedral.
Although Bush’s funeral services are suf-
fused with the flourishes accorded presi-
dents, by his choice they will not include a
formal funeral procession through down-
town Washington.
On Sunday, students, staff and visitors
had flocked to Bush’s presidential library
on the campus of Texas A&M University,
with thousands of mourners paying their
respects at a weekend candlelight vigil at a
nearby pond and others contributing to
growing flower memorials at Bush statues
Houston.
“I think he was one of the kindest, most
generous men,” said Marge Frazier, who
visited the downtown statue Sunday while
showing friends from California around.
After services in Washington, Bush will
be returned to Houston to lie in repose at
St. Martin’s Episcopal Church before bur-
ial Thursday at his family plot on the
library grounds. His final resting place
will be alongside Barbara Bush, his wife of
73 years who died in April, and Robin
Bush, the daughter they lost to leukemia in
1953 at age 3.
Trump has ordered the federal govern-
ment closed Wednesday for a national day
of mourning. Flags on public buildings are
flying at half-staff for 30 days.
Bush’s passing puts him back in the
Washington spotlight after more than two
decades living the relatively low-key life
of a former president. His death also
reduces membership in the ex-presidents’
club to four: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
One of Bush’s major achievements was
assembling the international military
coalition that liberated the tiny, oil-rich
nation of Kuwait from invading neighbor
Iraq in 1991. The war lasted just 100 hours.
He also presided over the end of the Cold
War between the United States and the for-
mer Soviet Union.
A humble hero of World War II, Bush was
just 20 when he survived being shot down
during a bombing run over a Japanese
island. He had joined the Navy when he
turned 18.
married his 19-year-old sweetheart,
Barbara Pierce, and forged the longest
presidential marriage in U.S. history. Bush
enrolled at Yale University after military
service, becoming a scholar-athlete and
captaining the baseball team to two
College World Series before graduating Phi
Beta Kappa after just 2 1/2 years.
After moving to Texas to work in the oil
business, Bush turned his attention to pol-
itics in the 1960s. He was elected to the
first of two terms in Congress in 1967. He
would go on to serve as ambassador to the
United Nations and China, head of the CIA
and chairman of the Republican National
Committee before being elected to two
terms as Ronald Reagan’s vice president.
Soon after he reached the height of his
political popularity following the libera-
tion of Kuwait, with public approval rat-
ings that are the envy of today’s politi-
cians, the U.S. economy began to sour and
voters began to believe that Bush, never a
great communicator — something even he
acknowledged — was out of touch with
ordinary people.
He was denied a second term by Arkansas
Gov. Clinton, who would later become a
close friend. The pair worked together to
raise tens of millions of dollars for victims
of a 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and of
Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New
Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005.
“Who would have thought that I would be
working with Bill Clinton of all people?”
he joked in 2005.
In a recent essay, Clinton declared of
Bush: “I just loved him.”

China gets US tariff delay but tech unclear By Joe McDonald

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — Buy more U.S. exports? Done. Tinker with

technology tactics that irk Washington and other trading
partners? Maybe. But scrap those plans, seen by Beijing as
a path to prosperity and influence? Probably never.
The agreement by President Donald Trump and his
Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on a cease fire on tariffs
postpones the threat of more disruption for China’s
exporters and their Asian suppliers. Some economists said
Xi might be ready to negotiate in earnest.
Still, Beijing gave no sign of a changed stance on tech-
nology ambitions that Washington says violate Chinese
market-opening obligations and might threaten U.S. indus-
trial leadership.
Trump’s complaints strike at the heart of the ruling
Communist Party’s state-led economic model and plans to
restore China to its rightful place as a political and culture
REUTERS FILE PHOTO leader by creating global champions in robotics and other
Donald Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton and Chinese President Xi fields.
Jinping attend a working dinner after the G20 leaders summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “It’s impossible for China to cancel its industry policies
or major industry and technology development plans,” said
economist Cui Fan of the University of International
Business and Economics in Beijing.
At his weekend meeting with Xi in Argentina, Trump
agreed to postpone planned U.S. tariff hikes on Chinese
imports by 90 days while the two sides negotiate. The 90-
day clock starts January 1. Xi revived promises to narrow
China’s multibillion-dollar trade surplus with the United
States by purchasing more American exports.
The outcome was “as good as we could have expected,” the
chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China,
William Zarit, said in a statement.
Also late Sunday, Trump said on Twitter that Beijing
agreed to cut import duties on U.S. autos. There was no
Chinese confirmation of the move, which would have little
impact on trade because most American vehicles sold in
China are made here.
