New Foster City post
office to open Saturday
After nearly a year waiting for a new post
office to open after its closure for an ele-
mentary school development, Foster City
officials announced it will open for busi-
ness Saturday, Dec. 15 —  just in time for
late holiday shipping.
The new post office is at 750 Alma Lane,
Ste. 100, next to Foster City Hall. The U.S.
Postal Service closed the former location at
Charter Square Shopping Center in January.
The new location is 3,800 square feet and
includes modern design and space for cus-
tomer service counters and post office
boxes.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
had gotten involved in the effort to open to
the new post office.
“I am very pleased that this is done,”
Speier said in a city press release.
“Residents will finally have a post office
again after almost a year of waiting. USPS
services are crucial to individuals and busi-
nesses alike. For a while there it looked like
construction delays and the Grinch were
going to prevent this opening before the
holidays. I commend the USPS staff and the
city of Foster City staff and City Council
for their collaboration, perseverance, and
patience. This is a great way to end 2018.”
The new post office was due to open in
September until the U.S. Postal Service
informed the city of a delay “primarily due
to lead time needed to obtain the equipment
necessary to complete the heating, ventila-
tion and air conditioning system,” accord-
ing to city previously.
LOCAL
“I am glad that the work of the city staff
and City Council, the Office of
Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and the
USPS has finally reached a successful out-
come,” Dante Hall, Foster City assistant
city manager, said in the release. “Postal
services are again available to the Foster
City community.”
Man arrested for fatal
stabbing in Menlo Park
A 36-year-old man from Ohio has been
arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing a
woman at a home in
Menlo Park on
Wednesday evening,
police said Thursday.
Francis Wolke, who
Menlo Park police said
is from Cincinnati but
also has a prior address
in San Francisco, was
Francis Wolke arrested at the scene of
the stabbing on the 900
block of Valparaiso Avenue.
Officers responded at 5:34 p.m. to a call
about someone dead in a home and arrived to
find the woman, whose name is not yet
being released.
Wolke allegedly stabbed her “with an
instrument, other than a knife,” police said
in a news release.
Wolke had an outstanding arrest warrant
from Santa Clara County from a 2014 case
of prowling and possession of narcotics.
He has been booked into San Mateo County
Jail on suspicion of murder, according to
police.

Man, 19, fatally shot in East Palo Alto
A 19-year-old man was fatally shot in
East Palo Alto early Thursday morning,
police said.
Officers responded at 12:29 a.m. to an
activation of the ShotSpotter gunshot
detection system on the 1200 block of
Beech Street and found the victim suffering
from gunshot wounds, according to police.
The man, whose name has not yet been
released, succumbed to his injuries at the
scene.
The homicide is the third in East Palo Alto
this year, police said.
Police have not announced any arrest or
suspect information in the shooting.
Anyone with information about the case is

San Carlos street
hit by string of car thefts
Industrial Road in San Carlos was hit by a
rash of car burglaries in early December and
police say they have promising leads, but
so far no arrests have been made.
There were five break-ins on that street
between Dec. 3 and Dec. 5 and valuables
were left in view and not covered or stowed
in the trunk in each case. Unknown suspects
smashed a car window and grabbed bags
containing valuables, including laptops,
headphones, speakers and in one case a cell-
phone. Property losses for those five thefts
ranged from $1,300 to $4,000.

“That’s an unusual number [of burglaries]
for that area, but it’s something we’re
investigating and we’re following up on
some pretty good leads,” said Detective
Rosemerry Blankswade, spokeswoman for
the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
“We’re still connecting the dots on other
potentially related crimes and whether these
are related or not.”
Blankswade urged residents to keep valu-
ables out of the car or at least out of view.
“A lot of times these are crimes of oppor-
tunity and if people see valuables in the car
it’s very tempting for someone with a crim-
inal lifestyle,” she said. “We encourage
everyone to continue to call in anything
that looks suspicious, that’s best way we
can catch these people red-handed.”
Rain, wind forecast
throughout Bay this weekend
The National Weather Service is forecast-
ing rain and wind that will impact the Bay
Area and Central Coast Friday through
Monday, with a strong storm arriving on
Sunday.
On Friday, light rain will impact the
evening commute across the Bay Area and
the Santa Cruz and Santa Lucia Mountains.
The scattered light showers will continue
into Saturday.
On Sunday, the weather service is fore-
casting moderate to heavy rainfall in the
late afternoon into night. The region will
also be impacted by gusty southern winds
on Sunday afternoon on coastal waters and
higher terrain. Northwest winds will cause
high surf and hazards for the coastline on
Monday.

Man connected to murder case denied out-of-state travel

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
After his request to travel to Las Vegas and
find work was denied Thursday, a man who
pleaded no contest to being an accessory to
a high-profile murder will remain in the area
to await his testimony as a key witness to a
trial slated to begin Aug. 19, according to
the San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
Already more than two years old, the case
against 33-year-old Tiffany Li, a
Hillsborough woman charged with conspir-
ing to murder the father of her two daugh-
ters, was delayed this fall to August of
2019. Originally charged with murder
alongside Li and her 32-year-old boyfriend
Kaveh Bayat, Burlingame man Olivier
Adella, 43, admitted in February he helped
cover up the 2016 murder of Keith Green, a
Millbrae man and father
of Li’s children, and
agreed to testify at the
trial of his co-conspira-
tors, according to prose-
cutors.
Adella was released
from custody Oct. 5 after
he spent the equivalent
Olivier Adella of three years in county
jail, the maximum sen-
tence he could receive in his plea deal.
Among the conditions of the deal he took
are a restriction from traveling more than
100 miles outside of Redwood City and to
testify truthfully at the trial, which was
delayed earlier this year to give Li time to
undergo cancer treatment and allow the
defense attorney for Bayat, her co-defen-
dant, to complete work on an unrelated mur-
der trial slated for April, according to prose-
cutors.
Adella’s defense attorney allegedly said
Thursday his client’s open court case is
affecting his ability to find a job, but Judge
Stephanie Garratt denied his request to be
able to travel outside a 100-mile radius
around Redwood City, according to prosecu-
tors.
Expected to shed light on the alleged
actions the trio took to murder Green,
Adella’s plea deal was seen as a turning
point in the case for District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe, who noted when the deal was
struck his testimony could provide direct
evidence of how the crime occurred.
Wagstaffe said previously if Adella were to
violate the conditions of his plea deal, he
could face a murder charge once again.
Li, the mother of Green’s children, is
b e i n g
charged for
his murder alongside Bayat, who is being
accused of pulling the trigger of the gun that
killed Green. Adella allegedly admitted to
being involved in disposing of Green’s
body after the murder.
Li was alleged to have a custody dispute at
the time of 27-year-old Green’s disappear-
ance April 29, 2016. Almost two weeks
after he met up with Li at a Millbrae pancake
house the evening he disappeared, Green’s
body was discovered near a Sonoma County
homeless encampment May 11, 2016,
according to prosecutors.
Li posted $35 million bail by putting up
several Bay Area properties valued at $62
million along with $4 million in cash in
April of 2017. Bayat was also assigned $35
million bail but remains in custody, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Adella’s defense attorney Dek Ketchum
could not be immediately reached for com-
ment.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks during a briefing to the media on Capitol Hill.
Pelosi shows her strength
By Lisa Mascaro
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It has been
quite a week for Nancy Pelosi.
The televised meeting with
President Donald Trump. The deal
with restless Democrats to secure
their votes to become House
speaker. The fashion statement of
her burnt-orange winter coat,
swooshing out the doors of the
White House, going viral in social
media memes.
It all showed the staying power
of the Democratic leader, who is
relentless in her drive to reclaim
the gavel and wield it with a
strength that is nothing like
Washington has seen — at least
since the last time she did it.
“We’ve seen some strong speak-
ers like Pelosi and some weaker
speakers,” said Matthew Green, a
professor of political science at
Catholic University who has writ-
ten a book about House speakers.
“What we’ve seen this week is
another demonstration of how
“The most dangerous place to be in Washington
is between Pelosi and an undecided vote. It’s like a
beeline; she goes right for that person.That’s her thing.” US judge: Suit over travel

effective Pelosi is, in both her
negotiation skills and in her abili-
ty to stand up publicly to a presi-
dent of the opposite party,” he
said. “The most dangerous place to
be in Washington is between
Pelosi and an undecided vote. It’s
like a beeline; she goes right for
that person. That’s her thing.”
Pelosi has said this time as
speaker would be different. On the
campaign trail this fall, she told
the Associated Press she would
“enjoy it” more because last time it
was all “work.” She said she wants
to “show the power of the gavel.”
But even before winning back
the speakership, she is employing
its strength. Pelosi used it during
Tuesday’s Oval Office meeting
with Trump, refusing his $5 bil-
lion border wall money; on
STATE/NATION
REUTERS
Republicans during their last days
in the majority; and on her fellow
Democrats to give her their sup-
port.
The public display this week
points to the return of one of the
more powerful leaders in the histo-
ry of the House, even if she’s now
term-limited herself to serving as
speaker no more than four years.
It’s the start of a long final act of
the 78-year-old mother of five and
grandmother of nine, and she’s
more comfortable than ever taking
her seat at the table.
“Leader Pelosi really demon-

Authorities: Wave of hoax
bomb threats across the US
By Michael R. Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A wave of bomb
threats emailed Thursday to hun-
dreds of schools, businesses and
government buildings across the
U.S. triggered searches, evacua-
tions and fear — but there were no
signs of explosives, and authori-
ties said the scare appeared to be a
crude extortion attempt.
Law enforcement agencies
across the country dismissed the
threats, saying they were meant to
cause disruption and compel recip-
ients into sending money and were
not considered credible.
Some of the emails had the sub-
ject line: “Think Twice.” They were
sent from a spoofed email address.
The sender claimed to have had an
associate plant a small bomb in
the recipient’s building and that
the only way to stop him from set-
ting it off was by making an online
payment of $20,000 in Bitcoin.
“We are currently monitoring
multiple bomb threats that have
been sent electronically to various
locations throughout the city,” the
New York City Police
Department’s counterterrorism unit
tweeted. “These threats are also

SAN FRANCISCO — A lawsuit
accusing the Trump administration
of denying nearly all visa appli-

Judge James Donato heard argu-
ments on the administration’s
request that he dismiss the lawsuit.
The case was “not going away at
this stage,” he said at the close of
the hearing.
The plaintiffs say the adminis-
tration is not honoring a waiver
provision in the president’s ban
on travelers from five mostly
Muslim countries — Iran, Lybia,
Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld
the ban in a 5-4 ruling in June.

Other law enforcement agencies
also dismissed the threats, which
were written in a choppy style rem-

The Palm Beach County, Florida,
sheriff’s office and the Boise,
Idaho, police said they had no rea-
son to believe that threats made to

ble. One of the emails wound up in

William Bones said.
The FBI said it is assisting law
enforcement agencies that are deal-
ing with the threats.

US budget deficit hits record
$204.9 billion for November
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The federal budget
deficit surged to a record for the month of
November of $204.9 billion, but a big part
of the increase reflected a calendar quirk.
In its monthly budget report, the Treasury
Department said Thursday that the deficit for
November was $66.4 billion higher than the
imbalance in November 2017.
But $44 billion of that figure reflected the
fact that December benefits in many govern-
ment entitlement programs were paid in
November this year because Dec. 1 fell on a
Saturday.
For the first two months of this budget
year, the deficit totals $305.4 billion, up
51.4 percent from the same period last
year. The Trump administration is project-
ing that this year’s deficit will top $1 tril-
lion, reflecting increased government
spending and the loss of revenue from a big
tax cut.
The new report showed that the higher tar-
iffs from President Donald Trump’s get-
tough trade policies are showing up in the
budget totals. Customs duties totaled $6 bil-
lion in November, up 99 percent from
November 2017.
Trump has imposed penalty tariffs on steel
and aluminum imports from a number of
Court: Trump can’t let companies
deny birth control coverage
SAN FRANCISCO — A divided U. S.
appeals court Thursday blocked rules by the
Trump administration that allowed more
employers to opt out of providing women
with no-cost birth control.
States were likely to succeed on their
claim that the changes to President Barack
Obama’s health care law were made without
required notice and public comment, a panel
of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said
in a 2-1 decision.
The majority upheld a preliminary injunc-
tion against the rules issued by a lower court
judge last year. It, however, limited the
scope of the injunction, applying it only to
the five states in the lawsuit and not the
entire country.

countries and on $250 billion of Chinese
imports as the administration seeks to apply
pressure to other countries to reduce their
barriers to American exports. However,
China and other nations have retaliated by
imposing penalty tariffs on U.S. exports,
sparking a tit-for-tat trade war.
The administration still believes it will
prevail and is currently in talks with China
over trade practices the administration feels
are unfair to American companies and work-
ers.
Last year’s budget deficit totaled $779 bil-
lion. The administration is projecting that
this year’s deficit, for a budget year that runs
from October through September, will total
$1.09 trillion. The administration sees the
deficit remaining above $1 trillion for three
straight years.
The only time the government has run
deficits of this size was for four years from
2009 through 2012 when the Obama admin-
istration was boosting spending to grapple
with the 2008 financial crisis and the worst
recession since the 1930s.
Trump has said that the new budget he will
unveil next February will require 5 percent
spending cuts for domestic agencies in a bid
to trim future deficits. The administration is
also counting on government revenues to be
increased by faster economic growth from
the $1.5 trillion tax cut passed a year ago.

Government shutdown
‘stupid’ and may happen
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A looming, partial gov-
ernment shutdown would be “stupid” but
might be unavoidable if Democrats refuse to
support President Donald Trump’s proposed
border wall with Mexico, the second-rank-
ing House Republican said on Thursday.
Even if Republicans assemble enough
votes to approve the wall in the House, the
plan probably will fail in the Senate, said
Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California. The
House majority leader noted that Senate
Democrats have pledged to block the bill
from receiving the necessary 60 votes.
McCarthy said on the House floor that he
thinks “going into a shutdown is stupid,”
but he offered no immediate plan before the
Dec. 21 deadline. The House adjourned for
six days soon after his remarks.
McCarthy’s comments put him at odds
with Trump, who said this week that he
would be “proud to shut down the govern-
ment” in the name of border security.
“I will take the mantle. I will be the one to
shut it down,” Trump said Tuesday at a con-
tentious White House meeting with House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of
California and Senate Democratic leader
Chuck Schumer of New York.
Trump kept up the pressure Thursday, say-
ing in a video released by the White House
that Schumer and other Democrats were once
in favor of border barriers, but now oppose
them because of Trump.
Calling Democrats “absolute hypocrites,”
Trump said, “They only don’t want to do it
because of me. They have to put the people
ahead of politics.”

willingness to shoulder blame for shutting

made it difficult for
Republican leaders to

try to avoid a shutdown

Texas Sen. John
Cornyn, the Senate’s No
2 Republican, said he
Donald Trump does not understand
Trump’s strategy.
“Maybe he’s figured it out and he’ll tell us in
due course, but I don’t understand it, ”
Cornyn told The Washington Post.
Pelosi, who talked with Trump briefly by
telephone after the televised Oval Office
session, said Thursday that Trump’s embrace
of a shutdown was unfortunate.
“Perhaps he doesn’t understand people
need their paychecks. Maybe that’s not the
life he leads,” she said about the wealthy
former Manhattan real estate developer.
“It’s not enough to say, ‘We’ll pay you in
January,’ when people have to make ends
meet in December,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi and other Democrats said there is
strong, bipartisan support to keep the gov-
ernment open. “The only obstacle is the
president of the United States,” she said,
adding that she and Schumer were not nego-
tiating with Trump on the wall request.
Democrats have offered $1.3 billion for
border security that includes fencing and
other technology, but not a concrete wall.
“We’re not going to $5 billion for the wall.
We simply are not,” she said.
Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2
Democrat in the House, said Republicans
will be responsible if a shutdown happens.
He noted that the GOP controls the House,
Senate and the White House; Democrats will
take power in the House in January.

Gun buyback makes our community safer
By Becky Dodson, Nilu Jenks, Danielle
Lacampagne and Bradd Silver, M.D.
T
he second countywide gun
buyback this year will take
place Saturday, Dec. 15,
organized by the Citizens for a San
Mateo County Gun Buyback, the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and the
Redwood City and Belmont police
departments.
Local elected officials such as U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and
Dave Pine, president of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, will be
in attendance. At this anonymous
event, people can turn in unwanted
firearms in exchange for cash: $100
for each handgun, shotgun or rifle and
$200 for each assault weapon. This
event is in partnership with other
cities and counties across the country
in a national gun buyback day and
will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at
1402 Maple St. in Redwood City.
Please transport your firearms
unloaded and in the trunk of your
vehicle.
After the tragic Parkland shootings
earlier this year, we approached
Sheriff Carlos Bolanos to ask that he
put on another gun buyback for our
county. While he agreed that he would
be happy to help us, he let us know
that we would need to raise the funds
to exchange for firearms. As such, we
established ourselves as Citizens for a
San Mateo County Gun Buyback, and
we got to work raising funds. Thanks
to our contributors, we raised enough
money to have a gun buyback in May
and to join the upcoming national
gun buyback date. We would like to

Stocks indexes settle down

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks wob-
bled Thursday as the markets
turned fairly quiet after a very tur-
bulent start to the week. Small
companies dropped and high-divi-
dend stocks, which investors
favor when they want to reduce
risk, rose.
Major stock indexes spent the
day switching between small
gains and losses after several days
of much bigger moves. Clothing
companies and other retailers fell,
weighed down by weak earnings
reports, and a disappointing fore-
cast from Delta hurt airlines.
Chemical and basic materials
makers also sank. Investors shift-
ed some money into high-divi-
dend stocks including utilities,
household goods makers and real
estate investment trusts.
Trading has been jagged over
the last few months as investors
worried about growing trade ten-
sions and rising interest rates.
Mona Mahajan, U.S. investment
strategist for Allianz Global
Investors, said traders aren’t sure
what strategy to use right now:
many recent market favorites,
including Facebook, Amazon,
Netflix and Google, have taken a
beating. Yet the global economy
is still growing, making high-
dividend, low-growth stocks like
utilities feel like a strange choice,
she said.
“Over the last few weeks the
mentality of ‘buy the dip’ has been
replaced by something more like
‘sell the rally,”’ she said. “There is
a little bit of a void right now, and
I think that is creating some of
this shift out of the most crowded
and most profitable trades, and
this overall shift in market men-
tality.”

Facebook hosts offline privacy ‘pop-up’ in New York City

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Wrapping up a
year of privacy scandals , congres-
sional hearings and a host of other
problems, Facebook hosted a one-
day “pop-up” event in New York
City’s Bryant Park on Thursday,
hoping to talk to users about their
privacy settings, ad preferences
and whatever else may be on their
mind.
Amid the park’s holiday market,
food stalls and a busy ice-skating
rink, the company set up a trailer

though journalists and Facebook
employees in gray fleece sweaters
far outnumbered members of the
public as of midday.
Facebook’s chief privacy offi-
cer, Erin Egan, acknowledged that
only a few of Facebook’s more
than 2 billion users are likely to
stop by. But she says the hope is
that those who do will “teach oth-
ers” about what they learn.
Facebook has held similar events
in Dubai, Dublin, London and
Cologne, Germany, all within the
past year.
For those who did stop by, it
was a rare chance to speak to a real
person from Facebook about con-
cerns such as being shut out of an
account for using an alias, receiv-
ing a notification about a login
attempt, or seeing what informa-
tion the social network uses to tar-
get them with ads.
The trailer was outfitted with
posters telling users that
Facebook doesn’t “sell” their
information (true, though it does
use people’s information to sell
ads targeted at them), prompting
them to ask questions and take
brochures on managing ad prefer-

Feds: US fishermen had good

year aided by lobsters, scallops
PORTLAND, Maine — U.S. commercial
fishing generated more than $144 billion in
sales in 2016, buoyed by growth in key
species such as sea scallops and American
lobsters, the federal government reported.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration said the total of $144.3 bil-
lion in sales from commercial fishing in
2016 was up about $100 million from the
previous year. The agency released the fig-
ure as part of its annual Fisheries Economics
of the United States report, one of two
Business brief
reports about the health of fisheries that
came out on Thursday.
The economics report states that the
industry was boosted by growth in value of
some economically critical species, also
including shrimp, but other big-money
species such as Alaska pollock and pacific
salmon were down from the previous year.
The report shows U.S. fisheries holding
steady, and continuing to play a critical role
in the economies of states from Maine to
California, said Ned Cyr, director of NOAA
Fisheries Office of Science and Technology.
Apple to build new Austin hub,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Apple plans to build a
$1 billion campus in Austin, Texas, that
will create at least 5,000 jobs ranging from
engineers to call-center agents while
adding more luster to a Southwestern city
that has already become a bustling tech

The decision, announced Thursday,
comes 11 months after Apple CEO Tim
Cook disclosed plans to open a major
office outside California on the heels of a
massive tax cut on overseas profits, which
prompted the company to bring about
$250 billion back to the U.S.
The company said it will also open
offices in Seattle, San Diego and Culver
City, California, each employing at least
1,000 workers over the next three years.
Apple also pledged to add hundreds of jobs
each in New York; Pittsburgh; Boston;
Boulder, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon.
“They are just picking America’s most
established superstar cities and tech
hubs, ” said Richard Florida, an urban
development expert at the University of

The College of San Mateo women’s bas-

The Bulldogs have played only five

Panthers too much for SSF
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is no question the South San
Francisco girls’ soccer team, the defending
Ocean Division champion, is a Bay
Division-caliber squad.
The Warriors have already posted wins
over perennial Bay Division powers
Carlmont and Woodside, and they battled
Terra Nova to a tie in non-league matches.
Thursday, South City traveled for a match
against Burlingame and it became obvious
early that the Panthers will be angling for a
Bay Division title this season.
Oozing with a lot of young talent,
Burlingame scored once in each half, and had
a highlight-reel strike denied because of an
offside call, as they shut out the Warriors 2-0.
“I was extremely pleased with [our] organ-
ized attack,” said Burlingame head coach
Philip DeRosa. “[We] played very well
together.”
While South City was solid, Burlingame
looked extremely dangerous. Amalie
Pianim, a freshman, is poised to be a special
player. The fact she was playing out of posi-
tion as an attacking midfielder —  DeRosa
said she is normally a striker — is a testa-
ment to just how good a player she is.
Pianim was the most dangerous player on
the field as she sliced her way through South
City’s stout defense, either delivering dan-
gerous through balls or making runs into
the penalty box herself.
While she seemed reluctant to take shots,
she had a couple of golden scoring chances
in the first half evaporate, and had no prob-
lem setting up her teammates as she assisted
on both goals.
Pianim was hardly the Panthers’ only tal-
ented player. Another pair of freshmen, Ella
Macko and Sofie Rodriguez, manned the two
outside fullback spots and were rock solid.
Both were calm on the ball and even with the
Warriors closing them down, more often
than not made the right pass.
Lillian Potter, a junior, teamed with
Pianim in the midfield to provide a physical
presence as she consistently rode South
City players off the ball, won shoulder-to-

The Lady Knights are kicking their way

This week marked a critical test for the
Hillsdale girls’ soccer team in facing back-

Then, Thursday, after trailing at home

Sherman downplays war
of words with Seahawks
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — San Francisco
cornerback Richard Sherman won’t
get as emotional about playing
against Seattle this week as he did
when the 49ers and Seahawks met
two weeks ago.
All of that, Sherman insists, is
water under the bridge now.
Sherman is so calm and cool this
time around that he even smiled and
chuckled quietly when asked about
critical comments made about him
by former Seahawks teammate
Frank Clark following Seattle’s 21-
7 win over Minnesota on Monday.
Speaking to a small group of
reporters, Clark said that the
Sherman era was over in Seattle and
that the veteran cornerback needed
to worry about his own problems.
“Just seems like a guy who’s
probably tired of hearing the same
questions,” Sherman said Thursday.
“I’d probably be pretty annoyed too
if we won a game and somebody
comes and asks me about a guy who
wasn’t either involved in this game
or on my team.”
Clark, a fourth-year defensive end
who leads the Seahawks with 11
sacks, was responding to a question
about a comment made by Sherman
prior to the Nov. 2 game between
the two teams in Seattle. At the
time, Sherman said the Seahawks
were a “middle of the road” team.
Clark and other Seattle players
took exception.
“That’s just Richard Sherman

Monday. “He’s not in this locker

doesn’t matter. They’ve got some
problems over there in San Fran that
he needs to be worried about.
“This is my team now. This is my
defense. Richard Sherman, his era is
over here. If he’s got anything to
say about our defense, he can sat it
on the field, at the end of the day.”
Sherman tried to downplay the
issue but was asked if it was an ele-
phant in the room.
“It’s like a mouse in the room,”
Sherman said. “It’s like kids say the
darndest things, you know? It didn’t
bother me at all. It’s kind of weird
but it doesn’t bother me. The era was
over in my mind obviously. I’m
here.”
Seattle is 8-5 and can clinch a

It’s Sherman’s first year playing
on a team with a losing record since
his rookie season in 2011, when the
Seahawks finished 7-9.
Unlike the first time he lined up
across from the familiar faces in
Seattle, Sherman isn’t anticipating
being very emotional when he sees
the Seahawks on Sunday. He spent
seven years in the Pacific Northwest
before Seattle released him last
March while Sherman was still
recovering from an Achilles injury.
“The nostalgia of seeing your
friends and seeing the personnel, all
the guys that you played with (is
over),” Sherman said. “In a couple
weeks, I’ll see them again. We’ll be

Cardinal sweep way to

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — When
Stanford volleyball players said
they had been waiting a year for the
NCAA volleyball semifinal match,
they didn’t mean a full season,
even though their opponent
Thursday night was the only team
to beat them in 2018.
Redemption for a five-set loss at
BYU in August wasn’t on their
minds. What motivated the
Cardinal was last year’s semifinal
loss to Florida, when Stanford was
the defending champion.
“This was more about a redemp-
tion match than us finding our-
selves, because we felt like we just
didn’t show up the first two sets

coach Kevin Hambly said.
They certainly did against the

volleyball championship for the

Seeking its eighth title, Stanford

with just seven errors and 33

errors. Stanford hit .188 in the
first game and got better every
game while the Cougar had more
errors in the first two games before
hitting .125 in the third.
Roni Jones-Perry, a player of the
year candidate with Plummer, had
eight kills but 12 errors for BYU.
“They were a really good block,
so it was tough,” Jones-Perry said.
“They did a really nice job. ... It

Stanford had a 9-2 run in the sec-

The Cardinal took charge in the

five points on Plummer’s serve,
for an 18-13 lead.
“There were no surprises,” BYU
coach Heather Olmstead said.
“Stanford is a great team. They

block. We weren’t serving tough
enough for us to get any touches,
get some blocks. ... We tried our
best, but they took us out of our

Thursday was something of an explosion.
Terra Nova got on the board midway through
the opening half when senior midfielder
Kaylee Noble sent the ball into center box
and, coming out of a scrum, senior midfielder
Sydney Burnham booted it in. Ten minutes
later, senior defensive back Sylver Hilder
sent a cross to junior Joya Palmer, who
knocked it in to make it 2-0.
“When we got up 2-0, the girls were feeling
pretty good at halftime,” Terra Nova head coach
Dave Downing said. “Credit to Hillsdale, they
came out with a lot of energy and scored two
quick goals in the first two minutes.”
It’s quite the feather in Hillsdale’s cap to
mount a comeback against the Terra Nova
per game while shooting just 41 percent from
behind the arc (9 for 22). Sophomore Nandi
Eskridge, a 5-8 forward from Oceana, is aver-
aging 9.4 points per game in just under 12
minutes a game and leads the Bulldogs in
rebounding with nearly six a game.
Victoria Mataele, a 6-foot freshman center
from Carlmont, has been very efficient so far
this season. She plays under eight minutes a
game, but is averaging nearly 10 points.
“I’m very encouraged,” Warner said. “We
have a lot of people who can score. We can
score from many different positions.”
The Bulldogs, however, have had their
more work done in the midfield. Fatima
Waldo-Garcia gave the Warriors a solid pres-
ence in the center of the field and she did her
share of work winning balls and distribut-
ing, but South City could not get striker
Alexandra Jara in to many dangerous spots.
“We weren’t connecting up top,” Navarro
said. “Our midfielders were not connecting
with our forwards.”
The Warriors did not have a lot of danger-
ous chances, but they did have the first off a
first-half corner kick. In the 23rd minute,
the corner cross was sent to the top of the
Burlingame penalty box where Iliana
Sanchez snapped a header on frame. Panthers
goaltender Sophia Young was beaten.
But Macko, who was defending on the far
right post, cleared the ball away to preserve
the scoreless tie.
“Wasn’t that something?” DeRosa said.
The second half was more evenly played.
South City did a good job of building in the
midfield, but continued to struggle to find
Jara, the reigning Ocean Division Forward
of the Year.
“I was aware of [Jara],” DeRosa said. “I
told the girls, ‘I’m so confident in my
defense, if you play solid defense, you don’t
back row. In addition to returning two first-
team all-PAL Bay Division defenders in jun-
ior goalkeeper Julia Falk and senior center
back Haley Dyer, the Tigers have three other
senior starting defenders in center back
Emma Rose Mahoney-Rohri, the left back
Hilder, and a first-year varsity senior at
right back in Laura Petterson.
“The back row is pretty stellar,” Downing
said. “I was pretty surprised when they gave
up those two goals.”
It’s a big momentum boost in the trajecto-
ry of Hillsdale’s season after Tuesday’s
momentous win against Aragon. And Button
was glowing about the way her Knights exe-
cuted their two goals in the 2-0 win over the
rival Dons.
“Both were on beautiful crosses,” she said.
Schinaman got Hillsdale on the scoreboard
with a header. Katia Economou doubled the
lead with another header.
“When we play tough teams, we play our
struggles on defense. While scoring 72
points per game is good, allowing nearly 80
to the opposition is not. Warner said the
Bulldogs simply have to be aggressive in
wanting to be good defensively and she said
that begins with blocking out after shots.
“You can imagine what we’ve worked on the
last two weeks,” Warner said. “Just put the
balls away and just work on defense.”
Warner hasn’t needed heavy minutes for
any of her players as the Bulldogs, for once,
have some depth — at least early in the sea-
son. All 10 players currently on the roster are
logging at least five minutes per game, with
THE DAILY JOURNAL
need to man mark.’”
South City’s best second-half chance
came in the 55th minute, when Jara received
a throw-in with the Burlingame penalty,
shielded her defender, made the turn and
broke in on goal. She sent a cross to the
middle of the box where it harmlessly rolled
through and was cleared away by the
Burlingame back line.
Three minutes later, Burlingame doubled
its lead. Pianim took a pass about 35 yards
from goal, ran at one defender, using some
fancy footwork to not only beat the
defense, but left her in a heap on the ground
and Pianim continued her run.
As she reached the end line and drew two
more defenders, she slotted a perfect cross
to the top of the 6-yard box, where Julia
Mitchell ran on and poked an easy one-
timer into the back of the net.
It looked as if Pianim picked up her third
assist of the game as she poked a ball into
space where Macko hammered it to the far
left corner off the bounce — but the goal
was waved off because of offside.
“I was looking forward to this game
because South City has been outstanding for
two years,” DeRosa said. “I knew this would
game,” Button said.
Thursday’s win over Terra Nova was home-
town matchup for Button, who grew up in
Pacifica. She went the private school route,
however, opting to play at St. Ignatius. In her
first year at Hillsdale, Button previously
served as a junior-varsity coach at Aragon
some years ago. More recently, she coached
middle school soccer in Cupertino.
Button is sharing head coaching duties with
Yang Zhao, who also served as co-head coach
last season.
For Terra Nova, this season marks the end
of an era as longtime head coach Ernie
Brockmeyer retired and relocated to San
Diego.
Downing served as an assistant coach under
Brockmeyer for seven years. This is his first
year as the team’s head coach.
“I think we’re going to be right in the thick
of things,” Downing said. “It will be, if we
score some goals, we’ll be in every game.”
only Ava Agustin, Kaitlyn Tamondong and
Eskridge playing 11 minutes per game.
The time off was especially beneficial for
Agustin, a freshman point guard out of James
Logan-Union City High School. She banged
up her ankle in a game at the Shasta tourna-
ment. She played on it the next day and then
had it swell up. The two weeks have allowed
Agustin to get better as she returned to prac-
tice this week.
Despite going 10 deep, the Bulldogs are
only a tweak or two away from a short bench.
“Let’s, please, knock on wood (for our
health),” Warner said.

Continued from page 11
there’s a lot of communication that has to
come from me, in terms of directing the play-
ers in front of me and whatnot.”
She played mostly at center back in her 12
national team appearances, all starts, and she
belied her age with both her composure on
the ball and technical savvy. Her first goal —
a header off a corner kick — came against
Chile.
But less than a week later, she fractured her
left ankle in a Stanford match against North
Carolina.
Cardinal coach Paul Ratcliffe said
Davidson’s injury was a big blow but the
team responded in her absence. And
Davidson was their biggest cheerleader.
“It’s something that I marvel at all the time
with all my teams at Stanford, is that when
we lose top players the level of play almost
goes up. Which doesn’t make sense to me,
because obviously losing Tierna is huge for
our team because she’s a team leader and one
of our top players,” Ratcliffe said. “But I
think they care about each other so much that
they don’t want to let the player that’s now
watching down. They see Tierna supporting
the team so much that they rally, and every-
one steps up to an even higher level.”
Stanford was ranked No. 1 during the regu-
lar season and went to the College Cup semi-
finals with a 45-match undefeated streak, but
fell to eventual NCAA champion Florida
State.
Last weekend, the lanky 5-foot-10 defend-
er focused on the draw for next summer’s
World Cup in France. The United States,
ranked No. 1 in the world, landed in a group
with Thailand, Chile and old nemesis
Sweden.
The U.S. women open soccer’s premier
tournament on June 11 against Thailand in
Reims.
“We really gave her a lot of minutes this
past year, with the anticipation we would
need at least three centerbacks,” U.S. coach
Jill Ellis said. “Obviously we have J.J. (mid-
fielder Julie Ertz) who can also play in there,
so I think we have good depth at that posi-
tion.”
SPORTS
USSOCCER.COM
Sacred Heart Prep graduate Tierna Davidson,
now a junior at Stanford, has played in 12
career games for the U.S. women’s national
soccer team.
Although Ellis will not name her World
Cup roster until closer to the tournament,
Davidson hopes her recovery has moved
along enough that she’ll be able to get back
in the lineup for the 10 matches the United
States has before departing for France. The
team will hold its traditional training camp
in January.
“Man, it’s definitely going to hinge on
how quickly I can get back into the swing of
things in January and beyond,” she said of
her chances to make the World Cup roster.
“But through 2018 I felt like I performed
nearly as well as I could. I felt like I was an
important part of the team and I felt like peo-
ple were getting more comfortable with me
in the mix.”
First, Davidson has to consider school. A
management science & engineering major,
there’s the possibility she could take a quar-
ter off while she chases her World Cup
dreams.
There’s also the possibility she could go
pro with a year of eligibility remaining.
“No decisions have been made,” she said.
“I’m just trying to get through finals before
delving into what the next couple of months
will look like.”

Leaders wary of Theresa May’s
plea for help selling Brexit deal
By Jill Lawless and Raf Casert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — British Prime Minister
Theresa May implored European Union lead-
ers Thursday to help her sell the Brexit
divorce deal at home, only to be told that
her proposals are not clear enough for the
bloc to offer a helping hand now.
Instead, the EU said it would plow ahead
with plans for a cliff-edge “no-deal” Brexit
on March 29, with a raft of contingency
measures to be presented next week.
May came to an EU summit in Brussels
seeking support after a week that saw her
Brexit deal pilloried in Parliament and her
job threatened by lawmakers from her own
party. She pleaded with the 27 other EU
leaders to “hold nothing in reserve” in help-
ing her sell the Brexit deal to hostile British
lawmakers.
“There is a majority in my Parliament who
want to leave with a deal, so with the right
assurances this deal can be passed,” May
said, warning her EU counterparts that fail-
ure could mean Britain crashing out of the

TORONTO — First U.S. President Donald
Trump attacked Canada on trade. Then Saudi
Arabia punished it for speaking up for
human rights. Now China has the country in
its cross-hairs, detaining two Canadians in
apparent retaliation for the arrest of a top
Chinese tech executive on behalf of the
United States.
Canada is caught between two super pow-
ers and taking the punishment — and its
ally to the south has been conspicuously

EU officials, however, seemed exasperat-
ed at the lack of concrete new ideas from
Britain. A proposal for encouraging word-
ing offering to give the U.K. further assur-
ances was left out of the leaders’ final sum-
“We’ve never been this alone,” historian
Robert Bothwell said. “We don’t have any
serious allies. And I think that’s another
factor in what the Chinese are doing. ... Our
means of retaliation are very few. China is a
hostile power.”
The two Canadians, Michael Kovrig, a
former diplomat in China, and Michael
Spavor, an entrepreneur who lived in north-
eastern China near the North Korean border,
were taken into custody Monday on suspi-
cion of “engaging in activities that endan-

mit conclusions on Brexit.
“I do find it uncomfortable that there is an
impression perhaps in the U.K. that it is for
the EU to propose solutions,” European
Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker
said at a news conference early Friday. “It is
the UK leaving the EU. And I would have
thought it was rather more up to the British
government to tell us exactly what they
want.”
He said the British must “set out their
expectations” within weeks if they want to
make progress and avoid tumbling out of
the EU without a deal.
May had earlier acknowledged that major
progress was unlikely at the two-day sum-
mit, even as she tried to get tweaks to the
withdrawal package that she could use to
win over opponents — particularly pro-
Brexit lawmakers whose loathing of the
deal triggered a challenge to her leadership
this week.
“I don’t expect an immediate break-
through, but what I do hope is that we can
start work as quickly as possible on the
assurances that are necessary,” May said.
Canadian consular officials have had no
access to them.
Their detentions ratchet up pressure on
Canada, which arrested Meng Wanzhou, the
chief financial officer of telecommunica-
tions giant Huawei, on Dec. 1 at the request
of the United States, which wants her extra-
dited to face charges that she and her compa-
ny violated U. S. sanctions on Iran. A
Canadian judge released Meng on bail on
Tuesday.
The case has set off a diplomatic furor
among the three nations in which Canada
has been stuck in the middle.

Senate rebukes Saudi Arabia
over Khashoggi, Yemen war
WASHINGTON — Senators voted
Thursday to recommend that the U.S. end its
assistance to Saudi Arabia for the war in
Yemen and put the blame for the death of
journalist Jamal Khashoggi squarely on
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
in a direct challenge to both the longtime
Middle East ally and President Donald
Trump’s handling of the relationship.
The succession of bipartisan votes came
two months after the Saudi journalist’s slay-
ing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and
after Trump persistently equivocated over
who was responsible. U.S. intelligence offi-
cials concluded that bin Salman must have at
least known of the plot, but Trump has
repeatedly praised the kingdom.
Senators made clear where they put the
blame. The resolution, passed by unanimous
agreement, says the Senate believes the
crown prince is “responsible for the murder”
and calls for the Saudi Arabian government
to “ensure appropriate accountability.”
Yemen’s warring sides
agree on truce in key port city
RIMBO, Sweden — Yemen’s warring sides
agreed Thursday to an immediate cease-fire
in the strategic port city of Hodeida, where
fighting has disrupted vital aid deliveries
and left the country on the brink of starva-
tion in the 4-year-old civil war.
The agreement includes a withdrawal of
combatants to outside the city limits within
two weeks and was praised by U.N.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as “real
progress” to alleviate Yemen’s suffering and
show commitment to a political solution.
The truce, along with a mass prisoner
exchange agreement reached earlier, were
seen as important first steps toward further
talks in January aimed at drawing down a
stalemated conflict that has killed thousands
of people and left millions more in misery

COUNCIL
Continued from page 1
“It was very nerve-racking,” said Nicolas,
the political neophyte whose grassroots
campaign collected 18.1 percent support,
comprised of 8,043 votes — only 205 more
than Gupta for third place.
“Gut-wrenching,” said Nagales, the for-
mer Planning Commission chair and South
San Francisco native recalling the feeling
of observing his thin lead ebb and flow over
November. Ultimately, he gathered 18.8
percent of the electorate’s support, or
18,342 votes — good enough to finish in
second.
“It was odd,” said Addiego, the tenured
elected official who was firmly in first place
with 21 percent of the vote, or 9,443 votes
in support. After two decades of public serv-
ice, and running multiple campaigns,
Addiego said he’d never waited so long for
an election to be called.
And for Gupta, the incumbent candidate
who’d establish a reputation among
regional elected circles for his steady hand
and broad vision, he was blindsided by
defeat.
“I was shocked. I was fully expecting to
given another four years by the voters of
South San Francisco to continue what we
have done,” said Gupta, who gathered 17.6
percent of the vote, or 7,838 votes.
And why wasn’t he given that additional

Stratford School’s sound reputation with
the San Bruno community contributed to the
board’s comfort with the proposed deal, said
board President Kevin Martinez in a pre-
pared statement.
“The board believes this decision is a
win-win,” he said.
Kemp also noted Stratford School’s bid
for the land was the highest among the mul-
tiple offers received. No interest in the land

term? Gupta remains uncertain, even with
weeks of hindsight spent reflecting.
“I wish I could go into the heads of voters
and see what was happening,” he said.
Gupta recognized though a primary con-
cern among residents and central issue in
the race was continued growth in South San
Francisco, which frustrated many with con-
gested traffic, limited parking and a trans-
formed community character. With a long
voting record in favor of commercial and
residential development, Gupta suggested
his critics may have used his history
against him.
“Someone might have crafted the image
that I am pro-growth and some voters might
have been encouraged by promises of no
more construction,” he said.
But Gupta countered that perspective by
noting that both Addiego and Nagales have
been advocates for continued development,
especially for residential growth in an effort
to address the affordability crisis.
Ultimately, Gupta is left unfulfilled in his
search for answers.
“I have no clue what happened,” he said.
Meanwhile, for Nagales, his own path to
victory was much more clear.
“I think families wanted to see someone
who has gone through the struggles they
have gone through and are working on the
issues they are working on,” said Nagales.
“So they wanted a voice, and I am going to
be that on the City Council.”
In attempting to advocate for young peo-
ple and families, Nagales said he would con-
tinue to focus on affordable housing, as well
was expressed by a county or municipal
agency, which would have granted the pub-
lic organization priority in negotiations.
El Crystal Elementary School was closed
after the last school year, as part of a pivot
by officials away from a system built around
neighborhood schools to a regional one
with larger campuses.
Officials are hopeful the transformation
will free the district from the budget con-
straints which have hamstrung operations
for an extended stint.
The revenue generated will help pay
toward the rebuild of existing facilities
which need to be revamped and improved to
accommodate more students, as it can only
pay toward facility needs and not opera-
tions, said Kemp.
The El Crystal Elementary School site is
as assuring adequate child care services and
field space exist.
Such amenities help preserve the small
town character appreciated by so many of
the voters encountered on the campaign
trail, said Nagales. But quality of life
demands must be balanced against a need to
generate revenue to finance those services,
he noted.
“I want to make sure that if we are going
to develop, that it is smart development,”
said Nagales.
The understated Nicolas, who built her
campaign on a foundation of volunteerism
through the faith community, shared a simi-
lar perspective.
“There have to be common sense solu-
tions to all the challenges we have,” said
Nicolas, who has lived in South San
Francisco for nearly 30 years.
And while she may not be as staunch an
advocate for development as other top fin-
ishers in the race, Nicolas said the concerns
around housing affordability hit close to her
home as well.
With two adult children, Nicolas said her
son was lucky to purchase a home while her
daughter continues to seek an affordable
place to live amidst the pricey housing mar-
ket.
“We are a very close-knit family, so we
would like to keep them very close to us if
possible,” she said.
Recognizing a similar desire among
other families while campaigning,
Nicolas said she suspected voters instilled
in her their faith that she could capably
not the only property on the sales block, as
officials agreed earlier this year
Rollingwood Elementary School would also
be shuttered and sold. The timeline for the
campus is yet to be determined though.
Kemp noted officials are also in the
process of considering selling district land
currently used by VB Golf, and the board
approved at the most recent meeting amend-
ing terms of an existing lease to allow for
early termination in case it is acquired.
Beyond the property sales, officials at the
meeting approved a first round of bond sales
which, following an exhaustion of all phas-
es, will lead to generation of roughly $79
million to be used for capital projects too,
said Kemp.
Yet with the variety of steps taken to
improve the district’s financial standing,

manage such an obligation.
While that fueled her rise to office,
Nicolas said her commitment to serving the
thriving Filipino community in South San
Francisco through the Catholic church also
contributed.
“Because a lot of Filipinos go to church,
they would also come to me at mass … and
say they are so exited by the prospect of
having a Filipino on the City Council,” she
said.
Perhaps to the delight of those voters,
Nicolas noted they got their wish twice over
— as Nagales is of Filipino heritage as
well.
For Addiego, he was heartened to see the
composition of the South San Francisco
City Council shift to match the demograph-
ics of the community.
“It is such a large part of our community
that has not be represented,” he said.
But if the elected body’s composition is
transitioning with the community, how did
Addiego survive? Experience, he said.
“I’ve been around for so very long, I think
people ... they were willing to trust me,”
said Addiego.
Yet even with an expansive resume,
Addiego said he’d never witnessed such a
strange election — not in terms of results,
but the amount of time it took to reach a
final count. But with another victory under
his belt, Addiego capped one of the more
unusual campaigns in which he has partici-
pated.
“It’s a fun time if you like the game,” he
said. “All the rules have changed.”
Kemp said only about $92 million has been
collected of the estimated $200 million
identified in a facilities master plan.
In tandem with money collected through
grants or from a state school facilities
bond, Kemp is optimistic the entire project
budget can be gathered in due time. And with
the latest piece of the financial puzzle
attained, Kemp celebrated the property sale
as a victory.
“It’s an exciting time for the community
and for the district,” she said.
In other business at the meeting,
Martinez was named board president and
Andrew Mason was named vice president in
the annual reorganization, while newcomer
Teri Chavez was sworn into office. Former
president Jennifer Blanco is again a board
member at-large.

Momoa swims but
‘Aquaman’ drowns
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Superheroes who travel by
sea horse never get any
respect.
Since Paul Norris and Mort
Weisinger first dreamed him
up in 1941, Aquaman’s fate
has largely been as the
Rodney Dangerfield of DC
Comics — a regular punch-
line for his not-so-potent
powers. Sure, he can talk
underwater and brandishes a
big fork for weapon. But like
Luca Brasi, he sleeps with the
fishes.
Yet Aquaman’s day has
finally arrived. And if there
was one inspired stroke
behind the first solo movie
for the Atlantis hero, it was in
casting Jason Momoa in the
Justice League role, one he
begun in 2016’s “Batman v
Superman.” It’s almost a
dare: Try telling this guy your
Aquaman jokes.

Yukon Gold potatoes are the gold standard for this gratin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Potato gratin is a notoriously heavy
side dish, laden with cream and gooey
cheese. We wanted to shift the focus of
this classic side dish to the potatoes.
We chose Yukon gold potatoes for their
rich flavor and moderate starch content,
which helped them hold their shape when
cooked. Tossing the potatoes with fruity,
flavorful extra-virgin olive oil heightened
the flavor of the potatoes but didn’t over-
power them.
For a crisp, cheesy topping, we mixed
more olive oil with panko bread crumbs
and sprinkled the dish with sharp, salty
Pecorino-Romano. For added depth, we
added sauteed onions, fresh thyme and gar-
lic.

There are pleasures in Wan’s extravagant
underwater pageant. It’s surely the only
movie around where you can enjoy a float-
ing Willem Dafoe (as Vulko, royal coun-
selor to Atlantis ruler Orm, played by
Patrick Wilson), see a gladiatorial show-
down sounded by an octopus on drums and,
in one of the many scenes where water is
weaponized, witness death by Chianti, in a
tussle that tumbles into a Sicilian wine
store.

the lugubrious “Justice League” and the less
leaden “Wonder Woman” on the uneven
scales of recent DC films. To both the
movie’s benefit and detriment, the seas here
are choppier than in the predictably (and
sometimes boringly) smooth sailing of a
Marvel movie. But the bright spots
(Momoa, that octopus) can be difficult to
really relish amid the oceans of exposition
and a typically pulverizing, overelaborate
screenplay.
A war is brewing underwater, but David
Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Will
Beall’s script takes a while to get us there.
They have origin stories to map out, begin-
ning with Atlanna, the banished Atlantis
princess (Nicole Kidman, a screen goddess
without the need to play an aquatic one),
washing up on the rocky Maine shores of a
lighthouse keeper (Temuera Morrison).
They fall in love and have a child named
Arthur (our Aquaman to be) before Atlanna is
forced to return to the sea.
As an adult, Arthur — trained by Vulko as
a kid — moonlights as a hero in between
happy-hour trips to the bar. But he’s reluc-
tantly drawn into a struggle for the throne
of the seven seas with his younger brother
Orm, who’s plotting a battle with “surface
dwellers.” He regards Arthur as a “half-
breed” not fit for the underwater kingdom he
grew up outside of. The red-haired Xebel
princess Mera (Amber Heard), herself a for-
midable fighter, joins with Arthur on a
globe-trotting mission to save Atlantis and
prevent war by finding a sacred trident (oh,
there is so very much trident action), with
occasional, half-hearted gestures of roman-
tic banter along the way.
After centuries of invisibility and peace,
Orm and his conspirators have had enough
of the landlubbers above. (Why they

weren’t earlier pushed over the edge by jet
skis or, for that matter, “Baywatch,” is
unclear.) In one tidal wave of vengeance, he
washes the ocean’s garbage and warships
onto beaches around the world.
But “Aquaman” is too timid to take this
thread seriously (or even to substantially
include sea animals for Aquaman to, you
know, talk to). Instead we have a tiresome
tale of royal power struggle that could
almost as easily happen on Krypton or in
ancient Greece, albeit without the benefit of
a floating Dafoe.
Wan, the director of the “Saw” franchise
and “Furious 7,” deserves both criticism for
soaking the film so thoroughly in kitschy
CGI and praise for the glowing synthetic
beauty of Atlantis.
The movie zips along too quickly before
we get much more than a float-over view of
Atlantis. (Many mysteries, such as how
plumbing functions on the seafloor, go
unanswered.) But in almost “Tron”-like con-
tours of luminous neon, Atlantis is a cinema
world well built, at least on the outside. But
the movie’s only truly visually stunning
sequence is a deep-sea chase lit by a lone
flare while hordes of frightful creatures
close in.
But both Wan and Momoa have a surpris-
ingly firm grasp of who Aquaman is, and
they ultimately — more than two hours later
— steer their film toward sincerity and away
from bombast. It’s surely some measure of
accomplishment that “Aquaman,” for all its
messy grandiosity, culminates in its hero
therapeutically saying “Let’s talk,” and it’s
uttered not to a manatee but to a brother.
“Aquaman,” a Warner Bros. release, is
rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence
and action, and for some language. Running
time: 143 minutes. Two stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
FLAVOR
Continued from page 1
In opening the doors to his ninth
restaurant location Monday, SAJJ
Mediterranean CEO Zaid Ayoub is hop-
ing to provide downtown visitors with
a customized plate of Mediterranean
flavors they can eat at the restaurant at
251 E. Third Ave. or take with them to
eat at home or the office. Since he
opened his first restaurant in Menlo
Park in 2013, Ayoub said the business
has expanded to locations in San
Francisco, San Jose and Southern
California and has thriving catering
and food truck operations as well.
Having fulfilled catering orders for
several businesses up and down the
Peninsula, Ayoub said its newest loca-
tion will allow the business to not
only serve San Mateo diners but also
act as a catering hub for the business,
which he said strives to offer fresh, fla-
vorful and healthy meal options.
“This is kind of our bridging the gap
… from Menlo Park to all the way over
to San Francisco,” he said. “We’re real-
ly excited to be here.”
Formerly a Chipotle restaurant, the
space is large enough to host more
than 40 diners at a time and a counter
where customers can choose one of a
handful of protein choices, whether
their meal is served in a wrap, rice or
salad as well as a wide array of top-
pings and spreads.
Featuring falafel, chicken or steak
shawarma, pomegranate chicken as
well as pita bread, hummus, tzatziki
and a spicy tahini spread among the
options diners can choose from, the
restaurant offers flexibility to its din-
ers in the hundreds of meal combina-
tions they can create in just a few min-
utes, said Ayoub.
TRAFFIC

also be prohibited at those locations.
The pilot will be implemented on a
three-month trial and can be terminat-
ed by the city manager at any time if
deemed unsafe.
“I’m encouraged by the over-
whelming number of people who said
[in the survey] ‘let’s try this. ’ We’re
hoping things will calm down and
the cut-through traffic choking our
streets now will be eliminated or at
least lessened, ” said Mayor Sam
Hindi, adding that the pilot could be
implemented as soon as late January
or early February if everything goes
according to plan. “If this is success-
ful, then we can also implement it on
Third Avenue and other places where
Some two doors down from SAJJ
Mediterranean is a new Halal Guys
restaurant that opened its doors at 213
E. Third Ave. Friday to some 100 peo-
ple waiting in line to place orders for
its Halal chicken and gyro dishes, said
Jason Wu, a Halal Guys operations
manager. Though the business started
in New York City as a food cart, it has
grown to include to some 200 restau-
rants across the world, according to
the company’s website.
Wu said the franchise group he is a
part of has been eyeing downtown San
Mateo for some time and jumped at the
opportunity to open a location at
Gangnam Chicken’s former location
near a diverse set of restaurants and
entertainment options. He said the
response to the restaurant’s simple
menu, which includes sandwiches and
platters with chicken, beef gyro and
falafels with hummus and vegetables,
in the days since it opened has been
fantastic.
“We’re just really excited to be
here,” he said. “It’s a New York institu-
tion that we can bring to California.”
Without a line, Wu estimated cus-
tomers can get in and out of the restau-
rant with their food in a minute, noting
service and speed are a focus for their
operations given the simplicity of the
menu. Noting all the chicken they use
is fresh and never frozen Halal meat,
Wu said customers can expect the high-
quality food served at a fast, New York
City pace.
there is cut-through traffic. ”
Hindi has acknowledged that traffic
congestion may worsen before it
improves, as drivers will likely need
some time to adjust to the new rules.
He feels cooperation with navigation
app companies such as Waze, in addi-
tion to Caltrans, will be critical to
ensuring that drivers adjust to the new
rules as soon as possible.  tions will make the journey home
He hopes Caltrans will be willing to
post the new rules on its signs on
Highway 101 so commuters stay on
that highway and don’t exit onto city
streets in an effort to skip the traffic
on State Route 92. And if the naviga-
tion app companies enter the new rules
into their system, then the apps won’t
tell drivers to take Foster City streets
on their way to the San Mateo-
Hayward Bridge.
Staff will reach out to Caltrans and
the app companies once it has City
Friday • Dec 14, 2018 23
To join SAJJ Mediterranean and
Halal Guys on the same block of East
Third Avenue in the coming months is
a new Filipino restaurant chef John
Madriaga and restaurateur Gerry
Apolinario are working to open at 201
E. Third Ave. come May. Having
worked as a chef at the Village Pub in
Woodside and Manresa in Los Gatos,
Madriaga is hoping to bring Filipino
cuisine and a sense of community to
diners by creating a menu of dishes
that can be shared.
A Filipino tamale filled with rice
instead of masa, or corn dough, and
wrapped with a banana leaf are among
the types of dishes Madriaga has in
mind for the new restaurant, which will
take the place of Crawfish Fusion. In
planning the opening of his first
restaurant, Madriaga said he initially
looked for space in San Francisco but
was excited to find a spot in San
Mateo, where he now lives. Noting the
robust Filipino population in the Bay
Area, Madriaga hoped the restaurant,
which he hasn’t yet named, will give
diners a taste of Filipino food in a sit-
down setting that is accessible for
families.
“We just feel like San Mateo is kind
of in the middle of everything,” he
said. “It’s just really, really accessible
to most places in the Bay Area.”
The addition of two restaurants offer-
ing quick service options is evidence
of a trend of a growing number of din-
ers looking for a quick lunch or dinner
they can take back to work or bring
home, said Jennifer Chen, the city’s
economic development manager. With
two restaurants offering different takes
on Mediterranean cuisine and a sit-
down restaurant planned a few doors
down from them, Chen expected the
new businesses to contribute to the
mix of eateries downtown.
“It’ll be nice to see that type of
diversity downtown,” she said.
Council approval for the pilot. Staff
will closely monitor the pilot and
Hindi wants to see an increased police
presence at several key intersections
to ensure the rules are being followed.  
There is some concern among resi-
dents living north of East Hillsdale
Boulevard, however, because prohibit-
ing left turns at the proposed intersec-
longer and more complicated for them.
Some residents are also concerned that
the pilot might cause traffic problems
at other intersections and that busi-
nesses could be affected, according to a
staff report.
The pilot will cost about $30,000 in
staff time and for the purchase of lane
delineators.
The meeting will be 7 p.m. Monday,
Dec. 17, at Foster City Hall, 610
Foster City Blv d.

Josephine Eskridge,
aka Josephine Smith
Case Number: 18PRO01326
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Josephine Eskridge,
aka Josephine Smith. A Petition for Pro-
bate has been filed by Gyne Riser in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that Gyne Riser be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
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. 07, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400

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

France market attack suspect killed in police shootout
By Samuel Petrequin,
Elena Becatoros and Mstyslav Chernov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STRASBOURG, France — The man
authorities believe killed three people dur-
ing a rampage near a Christmas market in
Strasbourg died Thursday in a shootout with
police at the end of a two-day manhunt,
French authorities said.
The Paris prosecutor’s office, which han-
dles terror cases in France, formally identi-
fied the man killed in the eastern French
city as 29-year-old Cherif Chekatt, a
Strasbourg-born man with a long history of
convictions for various crimes, including
robberies. Chekatt also had been on a watch
list of potential extremists.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner,
speaking earlier from Strasbourg, said
police had spotted a man matching the sus-
pect’s description in the city’s Neudorf
neighborhood.
“The moment they tried to arrest him, he
turned around and opened fire. They
replied,” killing the man, Castaner said.
WORLD
Chekatt was suspected
of killing three people
and wounding 13 near
Strasbourg’s Christmas
market on Tuesday
night. Castaner said ear-
lier Thursday that three
of the injured had been
released from hospital
Cherif Chekatt and three others were
still fighting for their
lives.
“Our engagement against terrorism is
total,” French President Emmanuel Macron,
who was in Brussels for a European Union
summit, said in a tweet thanking security
forces.
Five people have been arrested in connec-
tion with the investigation, including
Chekatt’s parents and two of his brothers.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said the fifth,
who was arrested Thursday, was a member of
Chekatt’s “entourage” but not a family
member.
Witnesses said the gunman shouted “God
is great!” in Arabic and sprayed gunfire from
a security zone near the Christmas market
on Tuesday. Security forces wounded the
man but he managed to escape in a taxi,
which dropped him off in the Neudorf neigh-
borhood.
More than 700 officers searched for
Chekatt, government spokesman Benjamin
Griveaux told CNews television.
Chekatt was well-known to police but as a
common criminal, not a terrorist. He had
his first conviction at 13, and had 26 more
by the time he died at age 29. He served jail
time in France, Germany and Switzerland.
A local police official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak publicly, said the man
who shot at police Thursday night had been
armed with a pistol and a knife.
Strasbourg Mayor Roland Ries said
police had acted on a tip from a woman.
Residents described hearing shots on the
street where Chekatt faced off with police,
prompting new jitters after two days marked
by tension in and around Strasbourg, which
lies on the border with Germany and is con-
sidered as symbol of European unity.

The SITE Intelligence Group, which mon-
itors extremist activity online, said the
Islamic State group’s Amaq news agency
was claiming the gunman as a “soldier” of
the group, although IS claims of responsi-
bility have often been considered oppor-
tunistic.
Chekatt’s motives remain vague.
Authorities had put him on a watch list three
years ago for suspected radicalism, but said
they didn’t detect signs he was ready to act
on it — a pattern in several past attacks in
France.
France raised its three-stage threat index
to the highest level after Tuesday’s attack
and deployed 1, 800 additional soldiers
across the country to help patrol streets and
secure crowded events.
Security forces, including the elite Raid
squad, spent hours Thursday searching in
the Neudorf neighborhood where Chekatt
had grown up based on “supposition only”
he might have been hiding in a building
nearby, a French police official said.
Residents of the Neudorf neighborhood
expressed relief after Chekatt was killed.
