New interest in Purissima Cemetery Police reports
T
here may be some life left in the
long neglected Purissima Cemetery
in a manner of speaking.
Green burials are growing in populari-
ty, according to Ed Bixby, who operates the
Green Burial Preserve in Steelmantown,
New Jersey and plans to bring the non-tra-
ditional burial practice to Purissima, locat-
ed about a mile and a half south of Half
Moon Bay. In green burials, there are no
embalming uids, no concrete vaults and
only wooden caskets.
Natural burial allows your body to
entwine with all the beauty Mother Nature
has to offer, promises an ad for Bixbys
LOCAL
company which he has operated for 14
years.
Hoping to restore the Purissima site to its
former glory, Bixby says cleaning up the
area will take a few years. So far, his com-
pany has not conducted burials at Purissima,
where a wooden sign at the entrance pro-
claims Purissima Cemetery Natural Burial
Cemetery.
Purissima is being designed for the liv-
ing and we have installed walking trails for
the communitys enjoyment, Bixby told
the Daily Journal. Purissima Cemetery is
really the perfect place to embrace the beau-
ty of the coastside as well as enjoy the his-
torical value of the long forgotten town.
According to historian Mitch Postel, the
cemetery is all thats left of a town that in
the 1860s had a saloon, hotel, school-
house, store, livery stable and post ofce.
The town, he writes in San Mateo County,
a Sesquicentennial History, was founded by
immigrants who thought Purissima would
become the coasts leading community.
However, Half Moon Bays better location
on the road to San Mateo gave it the advan-
tage and Purissima slowly disappeared.

San Carlos interchange improvements get funding boost
Officials near groundbreaking on long-considered traffic infrastructure project
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An effort to reduce congestion and
improve safety on the Holly Street and
Highway 101 interchange in San Carlos
took a leap forward last week when the San
Mateo County Transportation Authority
approved funds needed to make up a gap in
the projects funding pegged earlier this
year.
Plans to update the existing interchange
with a new design and add a pedestrian and
bicycle bridge just south of it had been on
hold for months before the agency supple-
mented a previous grant with another $3.8
million commitment to the project, said
Vice Mayor Cameron Johnson. Also on the
board of the Transportation Authority,
Johnson said the interchanges current
design, which forces cars coming onto and
off freeway ramps to weave together, has cre-
ated slowdowns and raised safety concerns
for those traveling through the city.
I think it will represent a signicant
improvement in trafc congestion and pub-
lic safety, he said. It is a big priority for
the city, its also a priority regionally.
Though efforts to assess the interchange
have been in motion for some 10 years,
Public Works Director Jay Walter said

the environmental effects of the project also
factored into the cost. Walter said $24 mil-
lion had been committed from outside grant
funds and that the city is expected to commit
$11 million to the project when the council
discusses the project in February. Should the
council agree on the nal amount coming
from the city coffers at that meeting, Walter

Lack of transparency clouds Texas spending after Harvey
By Emily Schmall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT WORTH, Texas Texas has been awarded billions
in federal aid to help recover from Hurricane Harvey and the
devastating ooding that followed, but its unclear how the
state is spending its share of the money.
State records dont indicate which contracts are storm-
related, making fund tracking and spending accountabil-
ity nearly impossible.
Disaster recovery experts say the lack of transparency in
Texas could hinder coordination, encourage fraud and squan-
der an opportunity not only to rebuild after one of the coun-
trys costliest natural disasters, but also to mitigate the
risks of the next monster storm.
Heres a look at where some of the money has gone and
whats not being tracked:
Federal assistance
Texas has received more than $11 billion in federal disas-
ter aid since Hurricane Harvey hit the states Gulf Coast in
late August. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has appealed for
$61 billion more in federal assistance, largely for public
infrastructure projects.
The bulk of the federal money spent so far has gone
through federal agencies, which unlike Texas agencies
maintain public, frequently updated databases of their
spending. The Federal Emergency Management Agency
also provides daily updates.
Sudden power outage
brings Atlanta airport to a standstill
ATLANTA A sudden power outage brought the worlds
busiest airport to a standstill Sunday, grounding scores of
ights in Atlanta just days before the start of the Christmas
travel rush. However, authorities said that electricity
should be restored at the Harteld-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport by midnight.
Passengers at the airport were left in the dark when the
lights suddenly went out at around 1 p.m. The blackout halt-
ed all outgoing ights, and arriving planes were held on the
ground at their point of departure. International ights were
being diverted, ofcials said.
According to a Georgia Power statement, a re in an
underground electrical facility may have been responsible
for the outage. The cause of the re was not known.
No personnel or passengers were in danger at any time,
the statement said.
No areas outside of the airport were affected by the power
loss. The utility said that there are many redundant sys-
tems in place to ensure the power supply to the airport and
that such outages at the airport are very rare.

Housing surrounded by flood waters caused by Hurricane
Harvey is seen from a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.
Those records show that as of Dec. 12, FEMA paid $1.47
billion for hotel bills and emergency home repairs; the
Small Business Administration issued $2.84 billion in low-
interest loans to homeowners and businesses; and the
National Flood Insurance Program paid $6.87 billion in
ood insurance.
The federal government also maintained a centralized
database to search for contracts awarded during the storm.
How Texas spends federal aid
Its much harder to track federal money being distributed
through the state.
Around the nation
Ofcer Lisa Bender of the Atlanta Police Department said
ofcers were at the airport to help with crowd control and
managing trafc around the airport.
Delta Air Lines, which has its headquarters at the airport,
said more than 450 mainline and regional ights were can-
celled. The airline encouraged passengers to check on the
status of ights via the Fly Delta mobile app.
McCain returning home

WASHINGTON Republican Sen. John McCain is

So far, more than $500 million in federal dollars have
gone directly to Texas to reimburse state agencies and local
jurisdictions for debris removal, power restoration and
emergency infrastructure repairs. But how the money has
been spent is unclear.
Abbott, who divided funding coordination among several
state agencies, appointed a commission to help hard-hit
cities, towns and counties get reimbursed by FEMA for pub-
lic projects. However, the commission isnt tracking the
funds. Instead, local authorities are responsible for trans-
parency and for holding onto receipts in case of a federal
audit, said commission spokesman Laylan Copelin.
Were on the service end of things, were not really in
the money trail, Copelin said.
Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch said the state currently
had no centralized, comprehensive funds tracker that would
allow the public to monitor recovery and rebuilding spend-
ing. He said one is in the works, though he didnt know
what it would entail or when it would come online.
State Public Assistance
Another murky side of Texas storm spending involves
state contracts awarded to private companies for services or
products, such as food or portable shower rentals for rst
responders.
About $1.7 billion in state funds were spent by state
agencies on storm recovery and rebuilding through
October, according to a report by the Legislative Budget
Board. But how each agency spent the funds is unclear.
Jones: Dont expect
him to always side with Senate Democrats
WASHINGTON Democrat Doug Jones, who won elec-
tion to the Senate from staunchly Republican Alabama,
insisted to both parties in politically divided Washington
Sunday that hell leave all the options on the table when
it comes to his votes next year on issues from immigration
to infrastructure.
Im going to consider anything, said
Jones, explaining that he doesnt plan
on labeling himself a progressive or a
conservative Democrat but a Doug
Jones Democrat.
In an early sign, Jones reiterated that
he would oppose spending money to
build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border,
as President Donald Trump insists upon,
Doug Jones and expressed concern that a sweeping
GOP tax cut proposal that was on track
for approval this week was being plopped into a vote too
quickly. At the same time, Jones said people should not
expect me to vote solidly for Republicans or Democrats.
The 63-year-old former U.S. attorney made clear hes
ready to move forward.

A hooded opposition supporter gestures during a protest over a disputed presidential election in Honduras.
Winner named in Honduras election
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras President Juan Orlando
Hernandez was declared the winner Sunday of Honduras dis-
puted election after three weeks of uncertainty and unrest in
which at least 17 people died in protests amid allegations of
vote fraud from the opposition.
Electoral court president David Matamoros made the
announcement, saying, We have fullled our obligation
(and) we wish for there to be peace in our country.
According to the courts ofcial count, Hernandez won
with 42. 95 percent to 41. 42 for runner-up Salvador
Nasralla, who well before the announcement had challenged
the result and said he would not recognize it.
Conservative ex-President Pinera wins Chile election
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTIAGO, Chile Billionaire former President
Sebastian Pinera easily won Chiles presidential runoff
election Sunday, moving the worlds top-copper producing
country back to the right in the footsteps of other Latin
American nations.
His rival, center-left Sen. Alejandro Guillier, conceded
defeat to his supporters and said he called Pinera to offer
congratulations.
Ofcials said the former president had 54.6 percent of the
votes to 45.4 percent for Guillier, with nearly all the ballots
counted.
Analysts had expected a much closer race, but there had
not been any opinion polls on the campaign for several
weeks.
WORLD
REUTERS
His Opposition Alliance Against Dictatorship has called
for more protests Monday.
Earlier in the day Nasralla traveled to Washington to pres-
ent what he called numerous examples of evidence of
alleged fraud. He said he planned to meet with ofcials from
the Organization of American States, the U. S. State
Department and human rights groups.
We will seek an international response to help the will
of the Honduran people to be respected in order to end the
political crisis we face, Nasralla said at the international
airport of Tegucigalpa before departing.
The rst results reported by the electoral court before
dawn the day after the Nov. 26 election showed Nasralla
with a signicant lead over Hernandez.
The results prompted Pinera supporters to celebrate at his
campaign headquarters and take to the streets of the Chilean
capital waving national ags.
Pinera won last months rst round, but his 36.6 percent
vote share fell far short of what polls had projected. Guillier
got 22.7 percent in the rst round and was counting on sup-
port from backers of other left-leaning candidates who were
eliminated.
The 64-year-old Guillier was backed by outgoing
President Michelle Bachelet, but many Chileans have been
disillusioned by lagging economic growth under her watch,
a problem based largely on lower international prices for
copper, which is the backbone of Chiles economy. Many
leftists also feel she wavered on her promises of profound
social changes in labor and education policies.

Kremlin claims Putin thanked
Trump for CIA tip on bombings
By Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin telephoned
U.S. President Donald Trump Sunday to thank him for a CIA
tip that helped thwart a series of bombings in St. Petersburg,
the Kremlin and the White House said.
During the call, the two leaders second in three days, Putin
expressed gratitude for the CIA information. The Kremlin said
it led Russias top domestic security agency to a group of sus-
pects that planned to bomb St. Petersburgs Kazan Cathedral
and other crowded sites this weekend.
The information received from the CIA
proved sufcient to nd and detain the
criminal suspects, the Kremlin said.
The White House said in its readout of
the conversation that based on the infor-
mation the United States provided,
Russian authorities were able to capture
the terrorists just prior to an attack that
could have killed large numbers of peo-
ple.
Vladimir Putin The White House added that Putin
extended his thanks and congratulations
to CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the entire agency. Trump
then called Pompeo to congratulate him, his very talented
people, and the entire intelligence community on a job well
done!
President Trump appreciated the call and told President
Putin that he and the entire United States intelligence com-
munity were pleased to have helped save so many lives, the
White House said in its statement. President Trump stressed
the importance of intelligence cooperation to defeat terror-
ists wherever they may be. Both leaders agreed that this
serves as an example of the positive things that can occur
when our countries work together.
The Kremlin said Putin assured Trump that if the Russian
intelligence agencies receive information about potential ter-
ror threats against the United States and its citizens, they will
immediately hand it over to their U.S. counterparts via their
communications channels.
The CIAs tip to Russia comes even as Russia-U.S. ties have
plunged to their lowest level since the Cold War era rst
over Russias annexation of Crimea and support for pro-
Russia separatists in Ukraine, more recently over allegations
that Moscow interfered in the U.S. presidential election to
help Trump.
While Russian ofcials have said the two countries were
continuing to exchange some terror-related intelligence,
Sundays statement from the Kremlin was Russias rst public
assertion that information from the United States helped pre-
vent an attack.
The conversation was the second between the Russian and
U.S. presidents since Thursday, when Trump thanked Putin for
his remarks acknowledging Americas strong economic per-
formance, according to the White House.
During the rst call, they also discussed during ways to
work together to address North Koreas nuclear and ballistic
weapons program, the White House said.
The Federal Security Service, or FSB, announced Friday that
seven suspected followers of the Islamic State group had been
arrested for allegedly planning to carry out terror attacks.

More taxes, less in return
Editor,
I was reading the article in the Dec.
13 edition of the Daily Journal,
Caltrans looks to fast-track managed
lanes, and found myself thinking
about the amount of taxes that we, as
both residents of California and espe-
cially the Bay Area in particular.
With recent increases in the gas
tax, 12 cents per gallon of gas, to
pay for road repair, I cannot believe
that they are thinking about charging
us to use the carpool lanes that are
being proposed. Im in favor of car-
pool lanes (two people per vehicle),
not the three per vehicle that is talked
about in the article, to ease conges-
tion.
We, the residents of California,
need to tell the elected officials that
we cannot and will not keep paying
more and more taxes and getting less
and less in return. In the article it
states, the toll lanes along 580
bring in million and millions of dol-
lars. Where does that and all the
other years and years of fuel tax rev-
enues go? It seems not to go to the
roads, due the terrible quality of
infrastructure that is observed across
the region.

Excuses are not apologies
Editor,
When I saw that Al Franken was
resigning, I was simultaneously sad-
dened and relieved: saddened because I
really appreciated a lot of the work he
did and how passionate he was and
relieved because every time a man
who is guilty of sexual assault or
harassment remains in power, its
hard not to worry that we are enabling
more men to act that way and invali-
date women.
I was deeply disappointed in his
speech. Even if the picture he took
with his hands on a sleeping womans
breasts had been the only incident, it
was absolutely abhorrent. It would
have been upsetting for any woman
in any situation, but I couldnt help
but feel the magnitude of the military
uniform she was wearing. He under-
mined her as a person and her work
entertaining the troops. I was deeply
upset by the lack of responsibility he
took for his actions.
If he really wanted to be a cham-
pion of women he could have set
an example for how a man who has
abused his power takes responsibili-
ty for his actions and works to
change. Today, I feel like he set the
current movement back. Is it naive
to hope that at least one of these
men who have sexually harassed or

Legal marijuana
Editor,
How could our government choose
to blindfold themselves and legalize
marijuana? Does the government
believe they will have better control
of such substance? Do we not remem-
ber when cocaine was legally added to
medicines? After much research that
mistake was xed, thankfully, leading
to a never-ending war against
cocaine. Now, it seems as if we are
dealing with marijuana in the oppo-
site direction.
First, we fought hard against this
drug, and now, it seems like we have
given up and have given it a legal all-
purpose permit. Companies are now
free to advertise marijuana delivery
job opportunities available to anyone
who wishes to deliver happiness.
There is a mental struggle every pot
smoker must deal with after using
marijuana regularly and suddenly
deciding to quit because they want to
demonstrate that its not an addictive
drug. OK, the frequency of use does
have a lot to do with how youre
affected. The problem is, like any
other drug, the more you take, the
more you want. No marijuana user can
say they still only smoke the same
amount they smoked when they rst
tried it.
Parents who dont agree with the
use of this drug have always had the
law on their side when dealing with
their kids smoking pot. Now, who do
they turn to? And dont tell me that
the person buying has to have a
legal permit with a valid ID. Have
these requirements ever stopped an
irresponsible adult from buying alco-
hol or cigarettes for minors?

OPINION
occured during the Roosevelt admin-
istration during the New Deal. F.D.R
said, A minimum wage is a living
wage ... . By living wages, I mean
more than a bare subsistence level
I mean the wages of decent living. A
decent living is not what these peo-
ple earn when they work so hard.
They should be earning enough for a
roof over their heads and food for
their family and at the moment they
do not. Their kids childhoods are
taken from them as well because they
need to make money and work as
soon as possible to help their fami-
lies.
An increase in the minimum wage
would increase the buying power of
the lower class which would boost
the economy. If the lower class had
more money then they could be able
to buy more than just the necessi-
ties, and industry would boom. The
minimum wage should be increased
drastically. Not at once, but every
year slowly raise it until it matches
the living wage. People who argue
against the minimum wage increase
say it would tank the economy. This
would not be true; however, a raise in
the minimum wage would actually
help the economy.

Grants resurrection
I
f you still havent finished your holiday shopping
and have someone on your list who likes to read and
is interested in history, the new biography Grant
by the author of Hamilton is a winner. Its long, really
long. Over a thousand pages. But Ron Chernow is such an
excellent writer and his book so well researched, its
worth your time. Even if you dont like battle scenes,
Chernow makes them about people, especially the gener-
als in charge. The size of the carnage and the hardships of
the troops leave a lasting but sad memory.
My husband has always been a Grant fan, has considered
him one of the greatest generals of all times. When we
were first married and living in Manhattan, my husband
insisted we visit Grants tomb, where the 18th president
and his wife Julia are buried. Its in Riverside Park (by the
Hudson River) on the upper West Side. It was the first time
I had ever visited the historic site. I was not alone. Even
then, decades ago, the only visitors were pigeons and the
monument had been van-
dalized. It was cleaned up in
1997, but I suspect it has-
nt had many visitors until
this recent best-seller.
***
Why Grant and why now?
The author gave Alexander
Hamilton a new life and rel-
evance. And the musical
based on the book still
attracts people of all ages
and has popularized histo-
ry. I dont know if there
will be a musical about
Grant. The Civil War and
its aftermath are not as
uplifting as the American
Revolution and the work of
the Founding Fathers. But even though we are full of Civil
War histories, biographies, enactments and even a Ken
Burns TV series, this book explores areas usually over-
looked.
Most of us knew Grant was president, not a particular
great one, and a good general who headed the union army
which beat Robert E. Lee and the Confederates. We may
remember that President Lincoln inherited and appointed
too many incompetent generals, more interested in strut-
ting than fighting when the war began, and that it was
Ulysses S. Grant, who came to the rescue. We heard about
Grants ongoing drinking problems and graft during his
administration and that was about it. Robert E. Lee, the
losing general, came off a lot better. More statutes, better
cared for, and a legend.
***
The other lesser-known figure, prominent after the Civil
War and Lincolns assassination, is another president
most of us dont know anything about. That would be
Andrew Johnson. He was impeached in the House but con-
viction in the Senate failed by one vote. But until I read
this book I never knew why Johnson was impeached.
He was not someone, in my ignorance, worthy of atten-
tion or research. Which is too bad. Because the reign of
Andrew Johnson, Lincolns vice president, is especially
relevant today.
Lincoln chose Johnson as his second vice president dur-
ing the war. He was chosen because he came from
Tennessee, a border state, and while he was against seces-
sion, he was a Democrat and could be helpful to Lincoln in
winning re-election. But he was also a southerner and not
against slavery. When he assumed office, just days after
the war ended when Lincoln was murdered, he was the
opposite of what both Lincoln and Grant had hoped for.
He was a divider not a uniter. Lincoln and Grant had under-
stood how important it was after the Civil War to make
this one nation again, to show respect for the South but at
the same time to protect the now freed slaves.
Once in office, Johnson showed his true colors as a
bigot. He opposed the 14th amendment which made citi-
zens of former slaves and the 15th which gave them the
right to vote. He allowed blacks in the South to be killed
without using federal forces to protect them, and fought
with Congress on the most important issues of the day.
He used the delicate post-war period to divide the country
and encourage violence. He prepared the way for Steve
Bannon and some of his most important friends. Grant,
who sympathized with slaves during the war and eventual-
ly welcomed black troops into his Army, was so outraged
by Johnsons deviousness and bigotry, that he joined
forces with radical Republicans in supporting strong
reconstruction measures.
***
Ironically, our current president fashions himself after
Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, who was a true
populist. He has a portrait of Jackson in his office. But he
is not like Jackson at all but very much like Andrew
Johnson. Johnson only lasted one term but his legacy of
racial divide lingers today.

Why GOP tax plan could mean cuts in state and local services
By Josh Boack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Its a tax provision that
could prove costly for schools, police
forces, drug treatment centers and other state
and local public services.
The sweeping tax overhaul embraced by
President Donald Trump and Republican law-
makers would impose a $10,000 limit on the
combined sum of property and state and
local income taxes that a household could
deduct. The $10,000 cap will help pay for
corporate and personal tax cuts totaling
$1.5 trillion over the next decade.
Conservatives have argued that unlimited
state and local deductions amount to a feder-
al subsidy for the wealthy in high-tax states
like New York, New Jersey and California.
But many middle class families in those
states face disproportionately high housing
costs and depend on deducting their state and
local taxes. These households could soon
pressure states and localities to ease their
burden by cutting taxes which would like-
ly force cuts to social programs and public
services.
Some Republicans in high-tax states
resisted their partys cap on local and state
deductions. Two of them Reps. Darrell
Issa of California and Lee Zeldin of New
York oppose the overall tax measure
because of the likelihood that it would hurt
their constituents. And despite Republican
arguments to the contrary, high-tax states
already tend to send more money to
Washington than they receive back in feder-
al spending.
A look at some of the winners, losers under the tax plan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Count President Donald
Trump among the personal winners in the
$1.5 trillion tax package that congressional
Republicans are on the verge of passing. Its
not only a political score for Trump but like-
ly a windfall for his real estate empire, too.
Oil drillers would also benet. So would
multimillionaire and billionaire owners of
sports teams. Companies would enjoy a
bounty from permanently lower tax rates.
Lawyers and accountants will prot from the
advice suddenly needed to guide clients
through the tax plan.
The bill creates plenty of losers, too. An
estimated 13 million Americans are projected
to lose health insurance. Commuters will no
longer receive a perk that has saved them
money. Some residents of high-tax states
like New York, New Jersey and California will
pay more in taxes.
And millions of American households
could face tax hikes in coming years. Thats
because their new tax breaks are set to expire
after 2025. And their taxes could creep up
because the IRS has been directed to use a less
generous gauge of ination in adjusting tax
brackets.
Republican lawmakers have sold their far-
reaching legislation as beneting everyone
in the long run because, they argue, it will

BUSINESS
This bill chooses winners and losers in a way
that could have and should have been avoided.
On balance, this bill remains a geograph-
ic redistribution of wealth taking extra
money from a place like New York to pay for
deeper tax cuts elsewhere, Zeldin said.
This bill chooses winners and losers in a
way that could have and should have been
avoided.
More than 73 percent of homeowners in
Westchester County just north of New York
City face property taxes alone that exceed
$10,000. This means they couldnt deduct
any state or local income taxes. The same is
true of half of Manhattan homeowners, a
quarter of those in San Francisco, 17 percent
of suburban Chicago homeowners and 10
percent of those in Arlington, Virginia, just
outside of Washington, D.C., according to
gures tracked by Attom Data Solutions.
The limit on the deduction could lead tax-
payers there to demand lower taxes or to
reject any additional funding requests for
state pensions, schools, public safety and
health services. Whats more, a separate
provision in the Republican tax bill would
no longer subsidize employers that help
their employees pay their commuter costs.
This change will likely increase the cost of
public transit for riders.
The overall tax bill would impose new
costs on many taxpayers that would out-
weigh any savings on federal taxes, argues
Matthew Chase, executive director of the
speed up economic growth. But most econo-
mists say that any boost in growth would be
modest in the long term. And most argue that
at least some of the tax benets will be under-
mined by the much higher budget decits that
help pay for them.
Among the tax plans winners:
The Trump organization
At least temporarily, companies with prof-
its that double as the owners personal
income would enjoy a substantial tax break.
Consider the Trump Organization. It consists
of about 500 such pass-through entities,
according to the presidents lawyers. Rather
than pay the top rate of nearly 40 percent,
Trump would likely be taxed on these prots
at closer to 30 percent.
The nal bill also appears to specically
benet the real estate sector, the bedrock of
the Trump familys wealth, with benets for
depreciating the value of property held by
pass-through companies.
The presidents family didnt receive every
possible benet. The estate tax on inheri-
tances, for example, will stay in place,
though it will apply only to the portion of a
familys estate that exceeds $11 million
twice the previous level at least through
2025. And the alternative minimum tax,
which is intended to prevent the wealthy from
exploiting loopholes to avoid taxes, would

National Association of Counties.
We dont see it as a net gain for taxpay-
ers, Chase said. They want to strangle our
revenue sources.
The National Education Association, a
teachers union, estimated that the cap on
state and local deductions could put at risk
$15.2 billion in annual public school
spending, or $304 per pupil. Marc Egan, the
associations director of government rela-
tions, said the change could discourage local
governments from investing in education
and might eventually depress economic
growth.
Were always making the case that
investing in education is a common-sense
way to grow the economy, Egan said. Why
Congress continues to resist that on a num-
ber of fronts is a mystery.
Even as Republicans in Congress decided
to cap the state and local tax deduction for
households at $10,000, their tax bill will
continue to allow corporations to deduct
their state and local taxes as a business cost.
Since the federal income tax code was
introduced in 1913, Americans have been
allowed to exclude the taxes they pay to
state and local governments. Roughly a
third of taxpayers have enough expenses to
itemize their deductions. And nearly all who
do so deduct their state, local and property
taxes. These deductions have helped make it
stay in place as well, though its higher
thresholds would also be temporary.
Energy drillers
Its no longer off limits to drill in Alaskas
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and
natural gas. President Barack Obama had
sought to protect the 19.6-million acres, a
home for polar bears, caribou, migratory
birds and other wildlife. But under the
Republicans tax plan, fossil fuel companies
could tap into oil and gas reserves. Alaska
Sen. Lisa Murkowski and other Republicans
insist that drilling can be done safely with
new technology while ensuring a steady ener-
gy supply for West Coast reneries.
Major corporations
The tax rate for most companies would drop
to 21 percent from 35 percent. This is a per-
manent rate cut, which, along with a shift to
a lower rate on some foreign earnings, could
help boost corporate prots. Not surprising-
ly, the stock market has soared in part over
anticipation of these lower corporate taxes.
The Standard & Poors 500 stock index has
jumped nearly 24 percent since Trumps elec-
tion last year.
At the same time, many individuals and
groups are likely to be on the losing end of
the tax legislation. Among them:

affordable for cities and states to fund school
systems, health care services and police
forces, while making it more acceptable for
a communitys richest households to pay
taxes that can help the poorest.
The Republican tax bill nearly doubles
to $24,000 a familys standard deduction,
which goes to taxpayers who dont itemize
their deductions. So there would automati-
cally be fewer people who would deduct their
state and local taxes. But in addition, many
households in high-tax states could no
longer itemize their deductions because of
the new cap on state and local taxes. This
could reduce the perceived value of these
taxes and incentivize voters to push for
lower state and local taxes a stated goal of
some conservatives.
Gov. Bill Haslam has said he thinks the
tax overhaul could encourage more people to
move from high-tax states to his state of
Tennessee, which charges no state income
tax.
We think it actually will encourage both
investment growth and population growth
in Tennessee, Haslam said.
High-tax states are already considering
adjustments to their policies. Steve
Sweeney, president of the New Jersey
Senate, has warned that the bill could derail
his states planned tax increase on million-
aires. That idea, estimated to generate about
$600 million in revenue, is a central pledge
of Democratic Gov.-elect Phil Murphys
agenda to help raise pension payments and
school funding. Murphy has said he is still
committed to the tax hike on wealthy earn-
ers.
The uninsured
The tax bill removes a penalty that was
charged to people without health insurance as
required by Obamas 2010 health insurance
law as a way to hold costs down for everyone.
By eliminating this mandate, the tax bill will
likely deprive 13 million people of insur-
ance, according to estimates by the
Congressional Budget Ofce.
The repeal of the health insurance mandate
will help preserve revenue to pay for the tax
cuts. The government would no longer have
to subsidize as many low-income people
receiving insurance. This change would gen-
erate $314.1 billion over 10 years, according
to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Commuters
It could get more expensive to ride the sub-
way or park your car near work. Employers
would no longer be able to deduct from their
taxes the cost of providing parking or transit
passes worth up to $255 a month to workers.
Bicycle commuters would also lose their ben-
et from companies.
Technically, companies could still offer
this benet. But under the tax bill, they will
lose the nancial incentive to do so. Such a
change could have the effect of reducing rider-
ship on public transit and possibly increase
costs for riders on rail and bus systems.
CMEs futures will track an index of bitcoin

rocketed this year, so has interest.

Earlier this year, James called Trump a
bum on Twitter and also said at Clevelands
preseason media day: He doesnt understand

to the president of the United State for guid-
ance, for leadership, for words of encourage-

Then, for Clevelands first regular-season
game, James donned a pair of black sneakers
with the equality message. But this was
the first time James chose to wear one white
and one black shoe.
At halftime Sunday, he changed into other
sneakers. James finished the game with 20
points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds.
I didnt play well in the first half, and Im
very superstitious, so I took em off, James
explained, before joking: I didnt play well
in the second half, either, so if there was a

Bowl game fanfare
Half Moon Bays historic season was
greeted with a fitting welcome at DeVore
Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility renovat-
ed in 2012 with a capacity of 9,500. Steele
Canyon presold 3,000 tickets and had over
1,000 walkup sales, while Half Moon Bay
traveled with approximately 500 fans.
With Steele Canyons side of the stadium
filled nearly to capacity, Half Moon Bay
was cast as the villain by an animated fan-
fare more akin to an NCAA environment.
It was awesome, they came out heavy,
Half Moon Bay quarterback Gavin
Tomberlin said, noting how the tightknit
Coastside fans refused to back down. We
came out we travelled 500 miles we three-pronged rushing attack of running
still have a lot of people. I just love my
community.
Ups and downs, back-and-forths
While Steele Canyons (12-4) fierce start
matched its fans fiery reception, Half Moon
Bay opened with its worst quarter of foot-
ball of the season. Still, backed by a gutsy
performance by senior running back Chase
Hofmann, the Cougars overcame a 14-0
deficit to take a 15-14 lead into halftime.
We felt like we played our worst half of
football and were still up by a point,
Holden said.
The Cougars floundered through a three-
and-out on the games first possession,
with Tomberlin missing the mark on two
incompletions, both with open receivers,
including a shot upfield that grazed the fin-
gertips of receiver Tristan Hofmann.
While Half Moon Bay went on to outgain
Steele Canyon 475-423 in total yards, the
Cougars aerial game struggled to find a
rhythm throughout. Tomberlin was 14-of-
32 passing for 195 yards.
Steele Canyon flipped the field from its
own 23-yard line, featuring a quick-cutting,

hands, but Quosig was drilled from behind
backs Deontae McKinney and Kenneth
Watson, and quarterback Thomas Fishburne.
The trio accounted for all the yards on a 10-
play, 77-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0
lead.
Then the uncharacteristic turnover bug bit
for Half Moon Bay. The Cougars committed
just six turnovers in 14 previous games,
with Tomberlin last throwing an intercep-
tion early in the 2016 season. Saturday,
they committed four turnovers, including
three Tomberlin INTs.
Half Moon Bay responded to the games
first score by driving into Steele Canyon
territory, but on first-down from the 31,
Tristan Hofmann coughed it up and Steele
Canyon senior Mikel Oliver scooped it up
and sprinted 65 yards for a touchdown.
Controversial play
The miscue that caused Tomberlins 23-
game streak without an interception to be
snapped was rife with controversy.
Half Moon Bay was again driving when
the left-handed quarterback slung one inside
the 10 for senior Jake Quosig. Tomberlin
put the ball right on the intended receivers

Camacho, who broke his leg in the Central
by cornerback Robert Whitehead at the
point of contact. As a yellow flag was
thrown for spearing by Whitehead, the
deflected ball was still in the air and was
soon nabbed by junior David Lipscomb for
the INT.
The penalty was assessed after the
turnover, giving Steele Canyon possession
at its own 2.
Half Moon Bay, though, recouped its
losses with 8 points within three minutes.
First, Half Moon Bay scored a safety when
McKinney recovered a fumble in the end
zone, with defensive end Kellan Royce
pouncing for the tackle to record the 2
points.
Half Moon Bay then got its running game
going, with Chase Hofmann taking the
team on his shoulders.
When we need a play, we just put the ball
in his hands, Holden said. Its funny, no
one talks about it but everyone knows. Its
like, hey, youre having problems; who do
you give it to? You give it to your best foot-
ball player. And he can make plays for you.
The senior totaled 29 carries for a game-
high 165 yards and two touchdowns, and set

ries of 17, 2, 2, 3, 5 yards before Quosig
25 carries, 99 yards finished with a 6-
yard scoring run off a fake to Chase
Hofmann on a play-action misdirect.
Steele Canyon, though, blocked senior
Sean Fitzgeralds point-after try to keep the
lead at 14-8.
Half Moon Bay got the ball back at its
own 4 via punt with 5:07 remaining in the
half and marched 96 yards on 16 plays, with
Tomberlin connecting with senior receiver
Hayden Von Almen five catches for a
game-high 76 yards to send the Cougars
into halftime up 15-14.
Costly injuries
While injuries are par for the course in
postseason football, the Cougars small
roster means personnel loss looms larger
for them than most. Already out for the sea-
son was senior two-way lineman Ricky
Coast Section Open Division III champi-
onship game.
And in last weeks Nor Cal championship
game, utility star and kicker extraordinaire
Dylan Williams injured a hip flexor, limit-
ing his reps at wide receiver and cornerback
and forcing Half Moon Bay to turn to
Fitzgerald as its starting kicker.
Williams, though, refused to come off the
field in the fourth quarter with the game on
the line.
We like to play with a lot of heart and
Dylans got a lot of it. Tomberlin said. So
does this whole team. He just had to dig in
and make a big play. He did just that like he
always did.
Steele Canyon opened the second half
with a head of steam. After Fishburne didnt
complete a pass in the first half, he went a
perfect 9 for 9 after the break, totaling 181
passing yards while adding 11 carries for a
team-high 97 yards rushing.
Twenty-three seconds into the half,
Fishburne dialed up a 73-yard scoring pass
to Nathaniel Gorden. After senior corner-
back Marvin James intercepted another

Tomberlin pass, Fishburne snuck in on a 2-
yard score with 7:34 left in the third quarter.
Another James pick of Tomberlin, and
Steele Union was into the end zone again
four plays later with a 21-yard Watson run to
enjoy its biggest lead at 34-15.
Williams comes to life
Despite the big deficit, Half Moon Bay
stayed with its jumbo offense and pro-
duced two quick scores. Chase Hofmann sus-
tained the ensuing drive with a fourth-down
pickup on a 7-yard run, then later scored on
a 6-yard toss.
Williams then took his first kick of the
game on the following kickoff, chalking up
a picturesque onside kick recovered by Half
Moon Bay at the Steele Canyon 39. Then, at
the start of the fourth quarter, Quosig ran it
in on an 8-yard toss to close to within 34-
28.
Then things got personal for Williams.
Steele Canyon fired back with a long scor-
ing drive, sustained by a pickup on third-
and-2 from its own 37. Fishburne aired it out
for a 46-yard completion to senior Randy
Jordan, exploiting a 1-on-1 matchup with
Williams. To add insult to injury, Jordan
popped to his feet and threw an in-your-face
gesture to Williams.
Youve got to have a short memory in
this game, Tomberlin said. Because if you
think about your mistakes youre never
going to get out of that slump. This game,
you need to just keep moving on.
Instead, Williams responded with an
inspired effort.
After two big stops in the red zone by
Tristan Hofmann, Steele Canyon settled for
a 22-yard field goal by senior John Lautner.
Then Tomberlin and Williams went to

work, with Williams battling through obvi-
ously pain to grab receptions of 20 and 40
yards, setting up a 4-yard score by Chase
Hofmann to draw to within 37-35.
Steele Canyons electric offense answered
right back, with a big 46-yard keeper by
Fishburne, and McKinney scoring on a 4-
yard run to re-up to 44-35 with 2:09 remain-
ing.
Helmet-to-helmet blow
Two scores down, Half Moon Bay had a
comeback in its sights. Tomberlin navigat-
ed a perilous fourth-and-19 with a hook-and-
lateral play to push across midfield. Then
the Cougars took a shot at Williams down-
field, with Tomberlin overthrowing the
mark. Williams endured a brutal hit, though,
getting rocked at the end of his diving
attempt with a mean helmet-to-helmet hit.
Somehow, a dizzied Williams popped back
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
to his feet with Steele Canyons safety
being ejected. Two plays later, Tomberlin
hit Von Almen in the hands for a 26-yard
scoring pass to close it to 44-42 with 1:25
remaining.
Williams marched back out for the onside
kick, and rolled a good one. This time,
Steele Canyons cover was on its game,
charging up to prevent the ball from taking
a second bounce.
That ball was going to bounce and Im
thinking that ball was ours, Williams said.
Instead, Steele Canyon ran out the clock
on Half Moon Bays legendary season.
Dont get me wrong, Im proud of Dylan
(Williams), Holden said of his senior leav-
ing it all on the field. But I dont think its
just Dylan. I think its Chase (Hofmann), I
think its Haydey (Hayden Von Almen), I
think our guys up front; I can name them all
off.
teams stadium in 2013. The plan called for
the city to contribute about $87 million for
renovations to Bank of America Stadium in
exchange for a six-year hard tether to keep
the Panthers in Charlotte.
The money is less than what the team was
seeking for improvements of the stadium,
which opened in 1996. Forbes estimates the
Panthers worth at $2.3 billion. The Buffalo
Bills sold in 2014 for $1.4 billion following
the death of owner Ralph Wilson.
Richardson and his ownership group paid
$206 million in 1993 for an expansion team.
Richardsons announcement comes after a
Sports Illustrated report Sunday that cited
unnamed sources who said Richardson made
sexually suggestive comments to women and
on at least one occasion directed a racial slur
at an African-American Panthers scout. The
report states that the settlements came with
non-disclosure requirements forbidding the
parties from discussing the details.
The NFL on Sunday said it has taken over
the investigation of allegations of work-
place misconduct. Panthers spokesman
Steven Drummond said Sunday the team
requested the league take over the investiga-
tion for transparency reasons.
The Panthers began play in 1995 but have
never delivered on Richardsons promise of
winning a Super Bowl. They lost after the
2003 and 2015 seasons.
Panthers interim general manager Marty
Hurney said he had never seen any evidence
of Richardson displaying any sexual or racial
misconduct in the workplace.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said
after Sundays win over Green Bay that
Richardson has served as a father gure to
him since his arrival in Carolina seven years
ago.

Think twice prior to The Last Jedi with second best debut ever
giving pets as a gift By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Avengers would roughly tie with The
Last Jedi.
The Last Jedi is off to a similar start

L
ast weeks column urged against giving parrots as
holiday gifts, and that led to a long conversation
with friend Marge. Based on that, I suspect I need
to make my points again. First, parrots (even those bred
in captivity) have a hard time transitioning from wild bird
to caged bird. What they need and
what we humans typically pro-
vide can be but most often is not
a great match. Second, while I
wholeheartedly endorse adding
animals to our lives, it is a com-
mitment which we all know is
best made after only careful con-
sideration. Website as well as old
school print ads promoting the
gifting of parrots and other ani-
mals for the holidays are bad
ideas. Thats not to say, howev-
er, that adding a furry, finned or
even feathered member to our families is always a no-go
around the holidays. It really depends on how you spend
those days.
Mr. and Ms. WooHoo and little Wanda WooHoo live a
frenzied pace starting mid-December, racing from one hol-
iday party to another when not climbing ladders to add yet
another ornament to the lighted rooftop display already
giving headaches to extraterrestrials. Meanwhile, their
neighbor Donald Doilies is decorating every horizontal
surface in his house with fragile Christmas tchotchkes.
Chaos and crashing are what a new pet can anticipate with
the WooHoos and Donald, and I dont recommend it. If new
pets are in these families future, then this is the time of
year for books, bowls, collars, leashes, and the animal
comes once the season slows. Syd Still, on the other
hand, thinks of the holidays as a time to reflect, to enjoy a
quiet meal with good friends, to snuggle up on the couch
watching A Miracle on 34th Street. Syd is more than
welcome to come down to the Peninsula Humane Society
& SPCA Center for Compassion (1450 Rollins Road in
Burlingame) to adopt a pet who, Im sure, would love to be
in his home for the holidays.
Ken White is the president of the Peninsula Humane Society
& SPCA.

NEW YORK Star Wars: The Last Jedi will happily set-
tle for second.
Rian Johnsons second installment in the third Star Wars
trilogy rocketed to a debut of $220 million at the North
American box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That gives The Last Jedi the second-best opening ever,
slotting in behind only its predecessor, The Force
Awakens.
The Disney blockbuster became just the fourth film to
open above $200 million domestically. Aside from The
Force Awakens ($248.8 million), the others are The
Avengers ($207.4 million) and Jurassic World ($208.8
million). Accounting for inflation, the debut of 2012s The
HISTORY
Continued from page 3
It was my intention to include as many of the 48 peo-
ple buried in Purissima Cemetery as possible, he said.
Edmonds concluded that most of the burials were those
of children and there is little history of them. Edmonds
reported that he was surprised to find that a number of
people who did business in Purissima actually lived in
Redwood City, and many of them are buried in that citys
Union Cemetery.
The areas upkeep has improved since Edmond visited
the site.
Purissima Cemetery is very hard to find, but it is worth
the effort to visit the pioneer cemetery that has been left
to its own survival, he wrote in the 2009 article. The
weeds have taken over and there is little to see at first
except poison oak. Then there are the rattlesnakes that
lurk in various invisible holes only to come out when the
sun welcomes them, which is somewhat rare in the foggy
conditions that usually envelop the cemetery.
Edmonds account includes a horrific tale that reads like
Poes short story, The Premature Burial.
The first person buried was a little boy named Downing,
his first name unknown. The child was not actually dead
but was in a coma.
Shortly after the burial a man in Purissima became ill
and fell into a stupor and coma. The Downing boys father
overseas, too, with $230 million in inter-
national ticket sales, said Disney. That
brings its three-day global haul to $450
million.
The opening also gave the Walt Disney
Co. the opportunity to flex its muscles on
Rian Johnson the heels of the deal announced Thursday
for it to purchase 21st Century Fox for
$52.4 billion. As part of the deal, Disney will take control of
20th Century Fox, one of Hollywoods six major studios.
The weekend that were in is a byproduct of the foresight
and vision from our CEO Bob Iger to bring Lucasfilm into
the fold, said Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis.
realized the possibility that his son might be in a coma,
went straight to the grave, and dug down to his son who
had turned over in the grave.
The boy was the son of Major Jacob Downing.
Downing and his wife Sarah soon left town.

HOTEL
Continued from page 1
Ensemble Real Estate was picked
ahead of other finalists JMA Ventures
and the Shashi Group, as officials
continued whittling down a group of
eight applicants which initially
expressed interest in the site earlier
this year.
Greenwood said all of the finalists
proposed attractive offers, but the
committee ultimately landed on the
preferred applicant due to its financ-
ing, design and operational terms.
We would like to get all three to
develop a hotel in South San
Francisco, but we had to pick one in
this location and my sense is that
Ensemble had the best approach, he
said.
Beyond the rooms to be spread
across seven stories, the hotel is also
expected to host a restaurant as well
as nearly 12,000 square feet of meet-
ing space, which could include a ball-
room to accommodate roughly 600
people, said Greenwood.
No operator for the hotel has been
identified, but application documents
indicate Ensemble Real Estate

helped run Ruanes initial campaign to
win election in 1995.
Shortly after Ruanes success,
alongside Councilwoman Irene
OConnell, Ibarra said he believed his
role in public service was done. But
when a spot on the City Council
opened following a resignation,
Ibarra was encouraged to fill the void
and won appointment over 11 other
candidates.
With a majority of the City Council
comprised of fresh blood, Ibarra said
he, OConnell and Ruane took initia-
tive to usher in a new era of develop-
ment in San Bruno.
The effort paid dividends, said
Ibarra, citing a variety of infrastruc-
ture improvements and developments
such as building at The Crossing near
the intersection of Interstate 380 and
El Camino Real among notable
accomplishments.
He said the progress was borne from
an aggressive approach adopted by a
young and enthusiastic council seek-
ing to push forward a traditionally
sleepy community.
They were the right decisions. As
much as they werent popular with a
lot of people, we can all proudly say
that if we didnt make those deci-

ability to create a
Alex
Greenwood hotel run by a rec-
ognized brand
while designing a project respecting
its placement in South San Francisco.
The story of the hotel is some-
thing unique to the site, he said.
Ensemble Real Estate Investments
is also leading development on Hotel
Nia, which is rising above Highway
101 at the Bayfront Expressway in
Menlo Park, near the Facebook cam-
pus. The hotel is slated to be complet-
ed this month.
Officials also approved of the
applicants willingness to consider
other development taking place near-
by and build a hotel complementing
that work. The hotel site is immedi-
ately adjacent to 3 acres of open space
slated for redevelopment into a water-
front park.
Ensemble Real Estate Investments
suggested the hotel would include a
substantial amount of open space,
building synergy with the nearby
sions, those problems would still be
here and they would be worse, he
said.
He said the developments were even
more impressive in the context of
moving ahead concurrently with the
construction of train rail grade sepa-
ration and a new BART station.
He characterized the transportation
projects as very involved, which
took almost 10 years to complete and
sapped the attention of officials
whose attention was pulled in many
different directions.
Despite the various successes Ibarra
knew during his term, he also noted
the pain and challenges tied to over-
coming the citys most tumultuous
period.

park constructed during the overhaul
of Oyster Point.
Development in the area is cat-
alyzed by a proposal from Oyster
Point Development to add 1, 191
rental and for-sale residences span-
ning in size between studios and
three-bedroom units, as well as about
1.5 million square feet of research and
development space for biotechnolo-
gy companies across 81 acres of near-
by waterfront property.
Infrastructure work for the project is
underway, which Greenwood said offi-
cials are considering when examining
timing for construction of the hotel.
The exclusive negotiating agreement
with the hotel applicant is slated to
return before the City Council for
approval in early 2018, giving way
to another six to eight months of
expected development discussions.
Ultimately, Greenwood said officials
are hopeful to break ground on the
project in 2019, which could mean
the hotel would be ready to open in
2021.
Considering the variety of projects
standing to redesign Oyster Point,
Greenwood said he believes the hotel
will blend well with the nearby devel-
opments.
The hotel wouldnt be inward-
looking and isolated. It will be inte-
grated with its surroundings, he said.
neighborhood west of Interstate 280,
killing eight, injuring 66 and causing
millions of dollars in property dam-
age.
As San Bruno came into national
focus in the wake of the tragedy, Ibarra
said he was heartened by the effort of
officials not only to push for restitu-
tion, but also to assure another simi-
lar incident would not occur again.
Yet despite the citys triumph in
seeking state utility reforms while
also landing sizable settlement pay-
ments, Ibarra said he maintains reser-
vations over the way he personally
responded to the blast.
One thing I probably would have
liked to have done after the explosion,
I would to have liked to have been a
little bit more engaged in the commu-
nity, he said. City staff was
employed to take care of the issues.
But because it was a tragedy, it needed
just a little more personal touch from
elected officials.
Ibarra said he was able to provide
some of that support as part of the
Lions Club though, which he helped
foster lasting friendships with sur-
vivors of the blast still preserved
today.
Looking ahead, he plans to main-
tain his activism in the community
with his role in the club, as well as
just being an engaged resident.
Weve got some important projects
that moving forward I will pay atten-
tion to but Im confident the leader-
ship can handle it, he said.

NOTICE OF pETITION TO
ADmINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald E. Rodoni
Case Number: 17PRO01231
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Donald E. Rodoni. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Jenni-
fer White in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Jennifer
White be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents 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-
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. 17, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
