Hula-Hoops, a redwood tree and student innovation

County grant money will support STEM programming at Burlingames Roosevelt Elementary School
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Students
at
Roosevelt
Elementary School in Burlingame
will be using money granted by
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors to get two HulaHoops out of a tree.
And while that may not seem

like a wise allocation of public

money to some, to students and
teachers at the school it sounds
more like a challenge which
requires an innovative solution.
Using the $3,666 granted by the
county board to support science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics, or STEM, programming, members of the Roosevelt

school community will transform

a portable classroom into a maker
space learning lab for students.
Students will use the lab to come
up with ways to safely extract two
toy hoops which have been stuck
in a redwood tree on the schools
campus for years, without climbing or touching the tree.
Roosevelt Elementary School

Principal Matthew Pavao said the

funding from the county will allow
the school to build out the creative
space which continuously pushes
the boundaries of student learning.
Its incredibly valuable, he
said. We really appreciate how
much San Mateo County is invested in innovation.

The group of teachers at

Roosevelt Elementary School
who are working together to
develop the learning lab on the
campus are some of the 20 who
received a portion of the $36,000
spread throughout the county by
the board.

$10M offered for shuttle proposals

County transit seeks to alleviate traffic, greenhouse gas emissions
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In continuing efforts to ease growing traffic congestion and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, county transit officials are offering $10 million to support commuter as
well as community shuttle programs over
the next two years.
The San Mateo County Transportation
Authority along with the City/County
Association of Governments, are seeking
applicants for a piece of local tax funds to
enhance new or existing shuttles services.
As the improving economy has contributed to traffic woes along regional highways and Caltrain running at near capacity,
reliable well-established shuttle programs
can have tremendous benefits, said David
Canepa, a Daly City councilman who sits
on the TA and C/CAG boards.
Whether its programs geared toward moving local residents to medical centers or
providing rides from transit hubs to office
campuses, Canepa said reliable shuttles can
be popular and effective.
As San Mateo County, with its 3 percent
unemployment, continues to thrive, we deal
with the profound issue of traffic on 101,
which continues to get worse every day. So
what do we do to alleviate our local street
traffic? Canepa said. A lot of cities want
shuttles, they do. And as policy makers, we
have to work extraordinarily hard in identifying which ones work.
Staff is finalizing the details of the call
for projects and will host a workshop Dec.

15 to discuss grant guidelines and the application process. Private entities are not eligible to apply directly, however, they may
partner with a local jurisdiction or public
agency to seek funds from the program that
runs over the next two fiscal years.
The $10 million, sourced from the countys Measure A half-cent sales tax, is an
increase from the last two-year funding
cycle. The San Mateo County Shuttle
Program provided nearly $7 million
between fiscal year 2014-15 and 2015-16,
according to Tom Madalena, C/CAG transportation planning manager.
Commuter shuttles are critical first and
last mile connections for employees during
commute hours and support the success of
Caltrain and Bay Area Rapid Transit by
enabling people that might not otherwise
take transit to take transit, Madalena said.
With commuters increasingly traveling
from out of the county, TA spokeswoman
Tasha Bartholomew agreed shuttles to transport riders from stations to work is key to
encouraging people not to drive singleoccupancy cars.
The shift in travel will result in reduced
vehicle miles traveled and associated greenhouse gas emissions, Bartholomew wrote
in an email.
In working to leverage funds and broaden
ridership, Canepa said its important for
local agencies or communities to work with
large employers to get people out of their
cars.
Those are the public-private partnerships we want to engage in, Canepa said.

Shuttle programs often take several years

to become established and two years may
not be a completely adequate indicator of a
programs viability. Ultimately, success
depends upon reliability and accessibility
particularly for low-income or working
individuals, Canepa said.
Were all creatures of habit, but consistency is important and knowing that its
going to be there, thats what creates ridership, Canepa said.
The countys shuttle program had almost
1 million passengers in fiscal year 2014-15
providing for a significant amount of traffic
congestion relief as well as a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions, Madalena said.
With the U. N. Climate Change
Conference culminating in Paris this week
and regional studies highlighting toxic
fumes from vehicles as one of the main
greenhouse gas contributors, Canepa said
its as timely as ever to promote broader use
of shuttles.
We know that traffic emissions from cars
and buses is a main driver of greenhouse gas
emissions. And what this shuttle does is it
uses its capacity to take people off the road
and by doing so, theres a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions, Canepa said.
This is extremely important in light of
whats happening with the conclusion of
Paris [climate talks]. This is the right way
to go about doing things.

Police arrest two

for laundromat burglary
Two women were arrested Monday on suspicion of stealing money and goods from
vending machines at a Pacifica laundromat,
police said.
San Bruno residents Karen Ebejer, 45, and
Jeannette Ellis, 48, were arrested following
the burglary initially reported at about 9:50
p.m. Sunday at Laundry Time cleaners at 699
Manor Drive.
Owners of the cleaners gave police video
footage of the theft, which occurred while
the business was closed, according to
police.
Officers were able to identify the suspects
as Ebejer and Ellis and went to two separate
homes in San Bruno at about 8 p.m. Monday
to arrest the pair, police said.
Ebejer and Ellis were booked into San
Mateo County Jail on suspicion of burglary,
vandalism, criminal conspiracy and possession of stolen property.

Judge caps top fine in

San Bruno-related trial
A federal judge cut in half the maximum

fine that prosecutors can seek against

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. in a criminal
case connected to the deadly natural-gas
explosion in San Bruno.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Thelton
Henderson in San Francisco means PG&E
will face a maximum fine of $562 million
when it goes to trial on 27 felony counts of
pipeline safety code violations and one
felony count of obstruction of justice.
The ruling Tuesday nixed any effort by the
government to seek more than $1.1 billion.
Henderson said the government could not
rely on civil settlements PG&E reached with
victims of the blast to determine their losses. The government could have used the loss
figure to arrive at the $1.1 billion fine.
Trying to prove victims losses absent the
settlements would be massively complicated, Henderson said.
Prosecutors still must justify the $562
million sum to Henderson by January, two
months before the trial is scheduled to
begin.
PG&E spokesman Greg Snapper said in a
statement the company remains focused on
its mission of becoming the safest, most
reliable gas company in the nation regardless of Hendersons decision or the next
legal steps.

Lawmakers, agencies aim to prevent

unspent California charitable gifts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Lawmakers and state

agencies on Wednesday began exploring
ways to make sure millions of charitable
dollars donated annually by California taxpayers arent stalled for years and dont
wind up in state coffers.
Among the ideas raised at a legislative
hearing were requiring speedier notices to
state agencies that funds are available for
distribution and requiring that agencies
publicly report how they spend or fail to
spend the money. Others suggested giving back unspent funds that have since been
dumped into the states general fund.

Sen. Bob Hertzberg, chairman of the

Senate
Governance
and
Finance
Committee, called the hearing in response
to an Associated Press report in August that
found California agencies failed to spend

Police patrol for DUI offenders

State offers new app supporting sober drivers
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the holidays approach, local law

enforcement will step up safety enforcement
to get those driving under the influence off
the streets as state officials turn to technology to deter drunk drivers from getting
behind the wheel.
This weekend, DUI saturation patrols will
deploy between 7 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m.
Saturday in San Bruno areas known for high
rates of collisions and arrests, according to
San Bruno police.
At the same time, police are encouraging
people to download the California Office of
Traffic Safetys Designated Driver VIP, or
DDVIP, app. Launched last year, the new app
has enhanced location features allowing
people to find participating establishments
such as bars or restaurants that reward designated drivers for staying sober.
Over the past three years, San Bruno
police have investigated dozens of DUI collisions that resulted in numerous injuries

and enforcement campaigns seek to deter

offenders as well as other criminal activities.
Driving under the influence is one of the
most prevalent and persistent crimes affecting our community, and DUI saturation
patrols have proven to be one of the most
effective tools in combating this epidemic, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini
said in a press release.
Across the state, 867 people died and
another 23,000 were injured due to intoxicated driving in 2013. Nationally, nearly
10,000 people were killed by impaired drivers during the same time, according to
police.
Recent statistics show 30 percent of drivers involved in fatal collisions had one or

DENVER Eight minutes after the call

went out about a gunman opening fire outside a Colorado Springs Planned
Parenthood clinic, an officer called into
his radio the words that no cop wants to
hear: Ive been shot.
Hit in the hand, the officer asked for help
he had just arrived at the chaotic scene
and didnt know if the gunman was
approaching him to finish him off. I will
shoot him if he moves toward you, brother, another officer replied.
The gunbattle ultimately claimed the life
of one officer and injured a total of five,
the highest police casualty count in a single incident in the U.S. in two years and a
reflection of the danger that mass shootings pose to police.
Police are wounded in about 25 percent
of cases like the Nov. 27 Colorado Springs
shooting, where officers arrive while the
gunman is still firing, said Pete Blair, an

associated professor of criminal justice at

Texas State University.
It makes it the most dangerous call that
a police officer can get, that I know of,
said Blair, who co-authored an FBI report
that reviewed 160 active shooter incidents
that occurred between 2000 and 2013.
Active shooters are generally defined as
one or two gunmen bent on mass killings,
Blair said. Robberies, family violence and
gang-related shootings are excluded.
A combination of factors makes active
shooters especially perilous, experts say.
Some shooters dont care whether they
live or die. And officers hoping to save
victims lives often confront the gunman
without backup and without much information about what he looks like or where he
is.
That was the case in Colorado Springs,
where a recording of police radio transmissions shows officers were trying to find
the gunman and save injured civilians
while under deadly fire themselves.

Times Person
of the Year is
Angela Merkel
By Hillel Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK German

Chancellor Angela Merkel has
been named Times Person of the
Year, praised Wednesday by the
magazine for her leadership on
everything from Syrian refugees
to the Greek debt crisis.
Time also cited Merkels strong
response to Vladimir Putins
creeping theft of Ukraine and on
its cover called her Chancellor
of the Free World.
Not once or twice but three
times there has been reason to
wonder this year whether Europe
could continue to exist, not culturally or geographically but as a
historic experiment in ambitious
statecraft, Time editor Nancy
Gibbs wrote. You can agree with
her or not, but she is not taking
the easy road. Leaders are tested
only when people dont want to

follow. For asking more of her

country than most politicians
would dare, for standing firm
against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast
moral leadership in a world where
it is in short supply, Angela
Merkel is TIMEs Person of the
Year.
Merkel, 61, is just the fourth
woman since 1927 to be chosen
and the first since opposition
leader Corazon C. Aquino of the
Philippines in 1986. She is the
first German since Willy Brandt,
the West German chancellor
named in 1970 for seeking to
bring about a fresh relationship
between East and West during the
Cold War. In 1999, Time picked
the German-born Albert Einstein
as Person of the Century.

Merkels spokesman Steffen
Seibert was leading a government

capital, while Merkel herself was
at an event in Leipzig. When
asked about it by the Associated
Press, Seibert said he had only
just received word on his phone
himself.
Im sure the chancellor will
regard this as an encouragement

for her political work, for a good

future for Germany as well as for
Europe, Seibert said.

Merkels selection. She has been
criticized for demanding unduly
harsh terms for Greece as the
country struggled to pay its debts

year for Europe and the world in
general but for Greece she is disaster of the year and all of the
past years.

Power to the states: Education law rewrite passes Congress

By Jennifer C. Kerr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Those federally mandated math and reading tests

will continue, but a sweeping
rewrite of the nations education
law will now give states not the
U.S. government authority to
decide how to use the results in

evaluating teachers and schools.

The Senate on Wednesday voted
overwhelmingly,
85-12,
to
approve legislation rewriting the
landmark No Child Left Behind
education law of 2002. On
Thursday, President Barack Obama
will sign it into law.
One key feature of No Child
remains: Public school students

will still take the federally required

statewide reading and math exams.
But the new law encourages states
to limit the time students spend on
testing, and it will diminish the
high stakes for underperforming
schools.
Republican
Sen.
Lamar
Alexander of Tennessee, who leads
the Senate Education Committee,

called
the
legislation
a
Christmas present for 50 million children across the country.
Alexander was a chief author of the
bill along with Democratic Sen.
Patty Murray of Washington
and in the House, Education
Committee Chairman John Kline,
R-Minn., and ranking Democrat
Bobby Scott of Virginia.

Youll see states taking the

opportunity to serve kids better,
meaning its not just a conversation about labeling schools but
also a conversation about when a

Chris Minnich, executive director
of the Council of Chief State
School Officers, said in an interview.

Carter: U.S. willing to do more

to help Iraqis retake Ramadi
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a steady escalation of

the fight against Islamic State militants, the
U.S. military stands ready to send more
American personnel and attack helicopters to
Iraq, especially to help retake a key city
seized by the extremists, Defense Secretary
Ash Carter said Wednesday.
In recent days, Iraqi forces advanced on
Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar
province, retaking a military operations center and a neighborhood on the outskirts of
the city in western Iraq.
The United States is prepared to assist the
Iraqi army with additional unique capabilities
to help them finish the job, including attack
helicopters and accompanying advisers if
circumstances dictate the extra assistance,
and if requested by Iraqi Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi, Carter told the Senate Armed
Services Committee.
Carter outlined the steps as the Obama

Mexico approves first dengue vaccine

MEXICO CITY Mexican health authorities approved the first vaccine to gain official acceptance for use against the dengue
virus, which sickens about 100 million
people every year, mostly in Asia, Africa
and Latin America.
Mexicos federal medical safety agency
said Wednesday the vaccine has undergone
testing on over 40,000 patients worldwide.
It said Wednesday the vaccines manufacturer had proved its safety and effectiveness,
but did not name the drug. In a separate
statement, the Lyon, France-based Sanofi
Pasteur identified the vaccine as Dengvaxia.
Mexico said the vaccine is aimed at people aged 9 to 45, and will be used in areas
where the disease is endemic.

New draft of climate accord leaves big issues unresolved

By Karl Ritter and Angela Charton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LE BOURGET, France With just two

days left to reach a deal, negotiators at the
world climate talks released a new draft
Wednesday that drops the most radical ideas
including an international tribunal to
punish polluters but leaves major issues
unresolved, such as who should pay to help
the most vulnerable nations cope with
global warming.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry challenged diplomats to reach agreement by
Fridays deadline, promising American
funding for low-lying island nations and
other countries hit hardest by the rising
seas and extreme weather that scientists
attribute to man-made emissions of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Our aim can be nothing less than a
steady transformation of the global economy, Kerry said.
The new draft released by the U.N. climate agency is 29 pages, down from a 43page version issued Saturday. There are
about 100 places where there are decisions
still to be made, including multiple
options left in brackets, or blank spaces.
We have never been this close to a climate change agreement, said Maldives
Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim,
chairman of an alliance of island nations.
Its now up to us ministers to show the
leadership needed to make hard decisions
that put the interests of people and the
planet ahead of shortsighted politics.

REUTERS

Secretary of State John Kerry delivers a speech the World Climate Change Conference 2015 (COP21) at Le Bourget, near Paris.
Ministers from more than 190 countries
are trying to craft the first climate accord
asking all nations to reduce or slow their
emissions. The previous agreement, the
1997 Kyoto Protocol, required only rich
countries to do so.
Most man-made emissions come from
the burning of oil, coal and gas fossil
fuels that meet about 80 percent of global
energy demand. Replacing them with
renewable sources like wind and solar

power requires big investments, which

poor countries say they cant afford without help.
A previous draft suggested that intellectual property rights to clean technology be
removed so that developing countries such
as India could get access to it more easily.
That was deleted from the latest draft.
A call for an International Tribunal of
Climate Justice to punish rich countries
that fail to live up to their commitments

was also dropped, as were references to

emissions from aviation and shipping.
But the document doesnt settle the sensitive question of whether advanced developing countries such as China and oil-rich
Arab nations should join industrialized
countries in providing financial aid.
It also doesnt spell out the long-term
goal of the accord whether it is to
remove carbon emissions from the economy altogether or just reduce them.

Saudi women face off against men for first time in elections
By Aya Batrawy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Outside of the

Saudi capital, in one of the countrys most
conservative provinces, Jowhara al-Wably
is making history. Shes running in this
weekends elections.
Saturdays vote for local council seats
marks two milestones for Saudi women: Not
only can they run in a government election
for the first time, it is the first time they are
permitted to vote at all.
The municipal councils are the only government body in which Saudi citizens can
elect representatives, so the vote is widely
seen as a small but significant opening for
women to play a more equal role in Saudi
society.
Still, women face challenges on the campaign trail: Because of Saudi Arabias strict

policy of segregation of the sexes, they

cannot address male voters directly and
have to speak from behind a partition or
have male relatives speak for them.
In an effort to create a more level playing
field, the General Election Committee
banned both male and female candidates
from showing their faces in promotional
flyers, billboards or in social media.
Theyre also not allowed to appear on television.
This suits al-Wably, a 52-year-old community activist and Ministry of Education
employee. Like all women in Saudi Arabia,
she wears a loose-flowing black robe called
an abaya. She also covers her face and
hair under a veil called a niqab when in
public.
When she meets with female voters, she
talks to them at the hotel conference hall
shes rented in Buraydah, 220 miles (350

kilometers) northwest of Riyadh. But when

she makes her pitch to male voters this
week, she wont be doing the talking. Her
two sons, both in their mid-20s, her husband and her brothers will address the male
crowd and she wont be present.

With around 5,000 men registered to vote

in her district compared to 620 registered
female voters, al-Wably says she cant
afford to rely solely on Internet campaigning through Twitter and Facebook to reach
men.

Investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average up 200 points in morning, then began dumping some big
tech stocks. Apple fell 2.2 percent and
Microsoft lost 1.5 percent.
By the end of the day, seven of the
10 industry sectors in the Standard and

Some of the biggest gainers were
stocks that suffered big losses the day

Yahoos new plan: Spin off itself, not its Alibaba stake
By Michael Liedtke

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For most of the past year, Yahoo had

planned instead to spin off the Alibaba
stake into a separate holding company
called Aabaco. That corporate maneuver was
designed to sidestep more than $10 billion
in taxes Yahoo might otherwise owe. But
the IRS jeopardized that plan by refusing to
guarantee a tax exemption.

SAN FRANCISCO Internet pioneer

Yahoo, under pressure from unhappy shareholders and desperate to avoid a huge
investment-related tax bill, will break itself
apart just not in the way it had previously planned.
The company will now aim to spin off its
struggling Internet business essentially,
everything associated with the Yahoo brand
name into a new company. Yahoo itself
would then become little more than a holding company for its $32 billion stake in

The about-face could mean big changes

for hundreds of millions of users who rely
on Yahoo websites, services like email and
other mobile applications. CEO Marissa
Mayer plans to outline a cost-cutting reorganization late next month; many analysts

speculate that Yahoo may simply sell off

that business if the latest overhaul doesnt
bear fruit quickly
The uncertainty and reshuffling threaten
more distractions at a time when Yahoo is
already struggling in digital advertising
against rivals such as Google and
Facebook. It also may raise more doubts
about whether Mayer will be able to turn
around Yahoo, even though company
Chairman Maynard Webb said Wednesday
that the board of directors remains in her
corner after three-and-half years on the job.

Netflix upgrades parental leave policy for its DVD workers

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Netflix is

upgrading the parental leave policies
covering hundreds of hourly workers
in its DVD-by-mail division after
being skewered for giving more generous baby benefits to the better-paid
engineers and other employees in its
more popular Internet video service.
The
improvements
confirmed
Wednesday by Netflix call for its DVD
workers to receive up to 12 weeks of
full pay after the birth or adoption of a

baby. Netflix previously didnt pay

fathers after a babys arrival, and new
mothers received two-thirds of their
regular paychecks. Adoptions werent
covered at all.
Hourly workers in Netflixs customer service centers are now eligible
for paternity leaves with 14 weeks of
full pay.
Even with those changes, Netflixs
policies still favor the roughly 2,000
workers in the Internet video service
that ended September with 69 million
worldwide subscribers. The salaried
workers on that side of the companys

business can take up to a year of

parental leave with full pay.
The disparity highlighted an economic chasm that is opening in
Silicon Valley as workers with highly
sought technical skills reap six-figure
salaries and lavish benefits while people in jobs that require less education
and training struggle to make ends
meet in one of the most expensive
places to live in the U.S.
Many of Netflixs roughly 450 DVD
workers are paid by the hour and make
a fraction of the Internet video service
employees.

wrote in a Wednesday note titled The

Never-Ending Story.
Yahoos new spinoff plan could be even
more complicated than the original Aabaco
spinoff. It may take more than a year before
Yahoo shareholders get stock in a newly
formed company that has yet to be named.
This means they have squandered an
entire year and now its going to take
another year while the core business continues to get weaker, BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis said.
With Yahoo hanging in limbo, prospective bidders could emerge for the companys
Internet operations, which Wall Street has
been valuing at next to nothing.

Buisness briefs
Judge expands scope of Uber lawsuit
SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge Wednesday increased
the number of drivers eligible to join a lawsuit against ridehailing company Uber alleging they were incorrectly classified as independent contractors when they were actually
employees.
U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco
certified an additional class of California drivers in the suit.
Shannon Liss-Riordan, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said
the ruling would allow many thousands more Uber drivers to
be covered by the lawsuit.
Before the expansion, Chen had estimated that at least hundreds of drivers would qualify for the suit.
Chen also said in his ruling the drivers could seek vehiclerelated and phone expenses. He had previously limited the
drivers claims to tips.
Wednesday ruling means the company could be on the
hook for more in damages if it loses the case.
Uber said in a statement it would appeal Chens ruling and
was confident it would win on the merits of the case.

presidential race as 2015s top topic
SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. wont elect a president until

Cougars blast Gators

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Just two games into the season and the

Half Moon Bay boys basketball team
already looks like the best team in the
Peninsula Athletic League.
After running Aragon out of the
Burlingame gym Tuesday in the first round
of the Burlingame Lions Club Tournament,
64-36, the Cougars came back Wednesday
and smoked a short-handed Sacred Heart
Prep squad, 81-54.
We have a very serious goal for this
group: be the first public school team (from
CCS) to go to Nor Cal (tournaments) five
years in a row, said Half Moon Bay coach
Rich Forslund. We have to get a lot better.
It would be difficult to be much better than
what Half Moon Bay (2-0) was last night.
The Cougars led 24-13 after the first quarter
before scoring the first 13 points of the second quarter to take a commanding 35-13 lead
with 5:34 remaining in the first half.
Half Moon Bays Big Three senior
shooting guard Tommy Nuo, senior guard
Jake Salinero and senior center Austin
Hilton all had a hand in building the huge
first-half lead. Nuo scored 10 of his 18
points in the opening quarter, at one point
scoring six straight points in less than a
minute on a put back, a tip in and a driving
layup.
Salinero drained a 3-pointer at the end of
the first quarter before scoring six of the
Cougars first 11 points of the second period with three layups off dribble penetration.
Hilton scored eight of 11 points in the
first two quarters and pulled down six of his
seven rebounds.
I thought we were ready to play,
Forslund said.
And they werent alone. Sophomore guard
Sam Treanor came off the bench with a
game-high 20 points. He connected on
back-to-back 3-pointers in the first quarter
and finished the game with five 3s.
[Treanor] can play. I thought he played
fantastic, Forslund said. We played very
well. The effort was fantastic. We got about
any shot we wanted.

Rams have

have said in the past that I didnt

want to hear about any NFL teams
moving to Los Angeles until there
was a shovel in the ground.
Nothing has really changed since then.
The Oakland Raiders and the San Diego
Chargers keep posturing about wanting
to move to Southern California, while
the one team that has
the longest history
in L.A. the Rams
patiently wait
until they can put
that shovel in the
ground. The NFL has
finally put a deadline
on teams plan to
move, with a vote
scheduled for next
month.
As far as I can tell
and I havent done a whole lot of
research into the subject Rams owner
Stan Kroenke appears to have the only
real plan in place to do anything.
Kroenke already has the land in
Inglewood and is ready to build a privately-financed stadium.
He is the only one of the three organizations that actually has something more
than simply a pipe dream when it comes
to moving. The Raiders and Chargers are
still trying to figure everything out.
If the NFLs goal is to put a team back
in the Los Angeles market, doesnt it
make sense to go with the guy with a
plan?
Forget moving two teams into Los
Angeles for next season. While that may
be the NFLs long-term plan, why not
make things easy on itself and at least
move the one organization that has put
together the most completed plan.
In this case, that would be the Rams.
Kroenke made his billions in development and has the pockets deep enough
and the friends powerful enough to make
the move now. Oakland and San Diego
are looking for handouts from various

Dawson going back

to where he started
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA No parting shots, just Phil

Dawsons standard, classy approach in saying
farewell to Cleveland:
Phil was here 1999-2012, he wrote in the
cabinet where he stored his cleats, then later
thanked the masses upon learning he really
would be leaving town.
Three years after departing the only team hed
known, and after more than
a decade of losing before he
went
west,
Dawson
acknowledges there are a
few more grays in his signature goatee and he
hardly minds.
No doubt all those tough
Phil Dawson years in northern Ohio
contributed to the current
look of the Niners placekicker, and this weekend he returns to face his former Browns in the
unforgiving elements at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Hes not thinking much about how he might
be received from the old fans who loved him.
Im just going to go in there and try to zero
in on the job at hand. Therell be a week where I
can soak it all in and reminisce and all that, but
not this week, Dawson said Wednesday. Ive
just got to focus on my job. Kicking in
Cleveland deserves your full attention in
December.
Dawson is in his 17th NFL season and third
with San Francisco after spending his first 14
years with the Browns, and he said Wednesday
he is strongly leaning toward playing in 2016.
The soft-spoken, steady Dawson left his mark
in Cleveland in so many ways, sticking it out
through many frustrating moments.
It was a job, one of 32 jobs in the world. You
cant be very picky in my line of work,
Dawson said. I always considered it a privilege
to be a Cleveland Brown. I was grateful to have
a job and just put my head down and went to
work. Before you know it, you were there 14
years. Thats just kind of how it happened. I
brought the same attitude here.
Sure, the 40-year-old Dawson might look all
the more distinguished these days to locker mate
and 21-year-old kicking partner Bradley Pinion,
though the rookie punter didnt need any convincing to give Dawson all his attention and
respect.
Dawson is probably not going anywhere,
either. As he approaches his 41st birthday in
late January, he seems nearly ready to commit to
another season if his wife and three children

give their blessing. But it will ultimately be his

call.
Staying with the 49ers is his top choice, too
Its great here.
Im totally open to continuing on, Dawson
said. Ill get home and discuss it with my family and get a pulse for how that is. My family
comes before football. However, with that said,
I still love playing the game, I still have a passion to win, I still have a passion to accomplish
things in this league. It doesnt make a whole
lot of sense at this point to go home and sit on
a rocking chair.
Dawson has made 18 of 19 field goals this
season, including all three from 50 yards and
out, also hitting all but one extra point after
missing his first try during a 26-20 win at
Chicago last week.
He points to the career of veteran Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who will be 43 at the end of
the month.
Hes a guy I look up to a lot, and obviously
hes still performing at an elite level, Dawson
said.
Dawson is perhaps the most reliable member
of these 49ers (4-8). He offers a positive presence in a locker room that has undergone so
much change in one year since former coach Jim
Harbaughs departure late last December.
Phil Dawson is incredibly important every
week, and not just because hes such a good
kicker, such a good football player, coach Jim
Tomsula said. Phil will come in at halftime,
hes letting you know where the winds are. ...
Things like that with Phil Dawson are just huge.
I laugh a lot and tell him were the same age.
Thats a money guy. Thats a good dude.
Dawson feels fortunate Chris Gardocki guided
him in his early days, so now Im the old guy
helping him, Dawson said of Pinion.
I wouldnt have had half the season Ive had
without him, Pinion said.
Dawson misses kicking off after putting in
extra work into that area through the offseason.
Now, Dawson considers it a win-win because
he has been able to concentrate all his efforts on
field goals and PATs and feels much better physically.
Of course, Dawson would love to go out a winner when he is done.
Very few people get a John Elway-type sendoff, Dawson said of Elway going out a Super
Bowl winner after the 1998 season. At the end
of the day, youre a grown man coming to work,
and if your team wins thats a super valuable
added bonus. If you feel you can come contribute
to your team and help your organization, you
need to take satisfaction in that. I still want to
do that.

Cooper closing in on
1,000 yards for Raiders
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The decade-long search for

a big-play receiver in Oakland has nally
come to an end following the drafting of
Amari Cooper.
With a big day by Cooper on Sunday
against Denver, the
Raiders could reach
whats become a rare
milestone for them.
Cooper needs 80 yards
receiving to become the
rst Oakland player to hit
the 1,000-yard mark in a
season since Randy
Moss rst year in
Amari Cooper Oakland back in 2005.
I think it would be a
cool accomplishment, Cooper said
Wednesday. Of course I set a lot of individual goals but I havent reached any of them
yet. ... It means a lot to accomplish something that hasnt been accomplished in a
long time.
Cooper is one of 77 players to catch a
pass for Oakland since the drought started in
2006 and none of the others have reached a
mark that has become less prestigious in
recent years with the increase in passes
thrown.
The milestone has been reached 198 times
since 2006, with every team getting there at
least once besides the Raiders after
Jacksonvilles Allen Robinson got there
last week.
Cooper could have some company in the
1, 000-yard club. Teammate Michael
Crabtree needs just 240 yards over his nal
four games slightly below his average to
this point to give the Raiders a pair of
1,000-yard receivers for the rst time since

Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Tim Brown did

it in 2001.
It may not mean what it did at one time in
terms of the number of guys that are able to
make that accomplishment, but its still a
sizable chunk of real estate that youre collecting over a season, coach Jack Del Rio
said. So yeah, it is signicant.
If he gets there this week, Cooper will be
the fourth rookie to reach the 1,000-yard
mark in his teams rst 13 games, joining
Moss, Anquan Boldin and Bill Groman.
Coopers season hasnt come without
aws. He is tied for the league lead with 12
dropped passes, according to Pro Football
Focus, including a crucial one on fourthand-2 in last weeks loss to Kansas City.
But with that issue comes the ability to
make the tough catches in trafc as well as
the ability to outjump defenders for deep
balls even when he is covered.
That talent, along with his crisp route running and big-play ability after the catch,
has drawn rave reviews from opponents.
Hes open when he leaves the huddle,
Denver coach Gary Kubiak said. Hes a
tremendous athlete, runs great routes. The
thing Im really impressed with him, as a
coach, is how hard he plays, even when the
ball isnt coming his way. Thats very
impressive to me. We loved him coming out
and I think hes been above and beyond.
Cooper had just 47 yards on four catches
against Denvers top-ranked pass defense in
the rst meeting between the teams in
October in Oakland, meaning it may be difcult to reach the milestone this week.
But barring injury, he should get there
soon with four games remaining.
I could say so many special things about
that guy, quarterback Derek Carr said. I
hope he gets there. He deserves it. He works
his tail off. I didnt know it had been 10
years, thats crazy. That would be cool.

Raiders sign Crabtree to extension

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders agreed

to a four-year contract extension Wednesday
that will keep wide receiver Michael
Crabtree off the free-agent market next offseason.
After spending his first six seasons across
the bay with the San
Francisco
49ers,
Crabtree signed a oneyear deal that was worth
$3.2 million after failing
to land the long-term
contract was seeking.
The move paid off for
both sides as Crabtree is
on pace for career highs
Michael
in catches, yards receivCrabtree
ing and touchdowns and
earned the big-money
deal he sought. NFL Network reported the
new contract is worth $35 million, with
almost $19 million guaranteed.
This is where I belong, Crabtree said
during a video on the teams website of him
signing the contract. Weve got to do what
weve got to do. Im a Raider.

NFL brief
Colts Luck throwing more passes,
running as he recovers
INDIANAPOLIS Colts quarterback
Andrew Luck ran with his teammates
Wednesday, taking another step in his
recovery from a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle.
He says he is also throwing more passes
with greater intensity.
Luck hasnt practiced since suffering the
injuries Nov. 8 against Denver. At the time,

ESPN first reported the deal.

After dealing with an Achilles injury in
2013 and a subpar performance last year,
Crabtree is back in top form this season
with the Raiders. He has 66 catches for 760
yards and seven touchdowns through 12
games, turning into quarterback Derek
Carrs most trusted target.
Crabtree has been remarkably consistent
this season with at least four catches in
every game. His 14-game streak with at
least four catches dating to last season is the
fifth longest active one in the league.
Crabtree, the 10th overall pick by the
Niners in 2009, has 413 career catches for
5,087 yards and 33 touchdowns.
With Crabtree, rookie receiver Amari
Cooper, running back Latavius Murray and
rookie tight end Clive Walford all in the fold
for next season, the Raiders have plenty of
options for Carr in the passing game.
This marks the second contract extension
that Raiders general manager Reggie
McKenzie has completed this week with a
pending free agent. Fullback Jamize
Olawale signed a three-year deal Tuesday.
Oakland also would like to reach an extension with left tackle Donald Penn, who is in
the final year of a two-year contract.
Colts
coach
Chuck
Pagano said Luck was
expected to miss two to
six weeks but neither
Luck nor team officials
have provided an update
on his return. Asked
Wednesday if there is a
target date, Pagano and
Andrew Luck Luck said no.
The No. 1 overall pick
in the 2012 draft has missed five starts with
injuries this season. The Colts are tied with
Houston atop the AFC South headed into
Sundays game against Jacksonville.

Samardzija, More trades; Arizona still dealing

Giants finalize
five-year deal
By Ronald Blum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Free agent Jeff

Samardzija and the Giants have finalized a
$90 million, five-year contract, giving San
Francisco a top-tier starter to complement
ace Madison Bumgarner.
The deal was reached Saturday and completed Wednesday, a day after Samardzija
took a physical.
Samardzija won 11 games this year for the
Chicago White Sox for
his first double-digit victory total in eight major
league seasons, going
11-13 with a 4.96 ERA in
32 starts. The 30-yearold right-hander spent
the second half of the
2014 season pitching in
the Bay Area with the
Jeff Samardzija Oakland Athletics following his trade from the
Chicago Cubs. The 214 innings in 2015
were the second-highest total of his career.
Samardzija receives a $9 million signing
bonus, of which $3 million was due Dec. 5
and the rest to be paid in $1.5 million
installments each Jan. 15 from 2017-20.
to be paid out soon, plus an additional $6
million to be spread over the final four
years of the deal in installments of $1.5
million each. He has a limited no-trade
clause that gives the pitcher the ability to
name eight teams to which he would accept
a trade.
His 2016 salary will be $9 million, then
$18 million in each of the following four
years plus the $1.5 million from the signing bonus.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The National

League champion New York Mets filled a
key spot by obtaining second baseman Neil
Walker from Pittsburgh for pitcher Jon
Niese, and the Detroit Tigers bolstered their
bullpen by acquiring reliever Justin Wilson
from the New York Yankees in Wednesday
trades at the winter meetings.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, meanwhile,
kept upgrading their rotation. A day after
finalizing a $206.5 million deal for major
league ERA leader Zack Greinke, they
announced their five-player swap with
Atlanta that brought All-Star righty Shelby
Miller and sent No. 1 draft pick Dansby
Swanson to the Braves.
Our ownership stepped up in allowing us
to get Zack Greinke. It puts us in a position
to get better as a team, but we werent complete. We needed an additional piece to our
rotation, Arizona general manager Dave
Stewart said.
Miller should slot into the No. 2 spot in
the rotation ahead of Patrick Corbin, Rubby
De La Rosa and Robbie Ray.
Youre getting almost 800 innings out of
your starting rotation, which should help
our bullpen out, Stewart said. The biggest
part of our problems in our pen last year is
we had to go there very often and ask them
for a lot of innings.
Other teams are waiting for the market to
develop, especially for hitters.
Among the 17 elite free agents who didnt
accept qualifying offers, five had reached
agreements and all were pitchers: Greinke,
Jordan Zimmermann, Jeff Samardzija, John
Lackey and Marco Estrada. In addition,
Hisashi Iwakuma has an agreement with the
Los Angeles Dodgers that remains to be
finalized.
Among the remaining 11 are pitchers
Wei-Yin Chen, Yovani Gallardo and Ian

Kennedy, joined by first baseman Chris

Davis; second basemen Daniel Murphy and
Howie Kendrick; shortstop Ian Desmond;
and outfielders Jason Heyward, Justin
Upton, Alex Gordon and Dexter Fowler.
Davis appears set to establish the top of
the batters market after hitting 159 home
runs in a four-year span. His agent, Scott
Boras, is known for striking deals later in
the offseason.
In the ice-cream sandwich of markets,
you have your boundaries, and then you
have all the vanilla in the middle, Boras
said. Its pretty hard to get to the vanilla
unless you get to chocolate on the outside.
In another trade, Seattle obtained first
baseman Adam Lind from Milwaukee for
right-handers Daniel Missaki, Carlos
Herrera and Freddy Peralta.
The Mets got Walker a day after their No.
1 choice for a new second baseman, Ben
Zobrist, signed as a free agent with the
Chicago Cubs.
We could have gone East Coast, West
Coast. But I think in the end, this was the
one that really motivated me the most, said
Zobrist, the only player to appear at a news
conference during the first three days of the
meetings.
The 30-year-old Walker fills the hole created when playoff slugger Daniel Murphy
became a free agent after New York lost the
World Series to Kansas City.
Its an exciting opportunity, obviously,
with the success the Mets have had this past
year, Walker said. Obviously theres
mixed emotions being a born-and-bred
Pittsburgher.
Walker batted .269 with 16 homers and 71
RBIs this year.
We view him as a real positive alternative to the deal we were looking to do the
other day, Mets assistant general manager
John Ricco said. He fits on a lot of different levels a switch-hitter, hes got some
power.

New York also was working toward an

agreement with free-agent shortstop
Asdrubal Cabrera.
The 29-year-old Niese became expendable
with the development of young Mets aces
Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey, Noah
Syndergaard and Steven Matz. Niese was 910 with a 4.13 ERA last season. A starter for
years, he was shifted to the bullpen for the
postseason.
The Yankees dealt Wilson, a 28-year-old
lefty, to Detroit for minor league right-handers Chad Green and Luis Cessa the latter
sent by the Mets to the Tigers in the July 31
trade that brought Yoenis Cespedes to New
York. Wilson went 5-0 this year with a 3.10
ERA in 74 appearances. Earlier this offseason, the Tigers acquired closer Francisco
Rodriguez and right-hander Mark Lowe.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman
is willing to trade left fielder Brett Gardner
and closer Andrew Miller. Cashman is confident Dellin Betances could take over as
closer.
In the right circumstances, I am open to
doing business, Cashman said. Its more
likely than not, because of the high (price)
tags Ive put out there, that we will have the
same dynamic duo at the back end.

As deal Lawrie for pitching prospects

Oakland made two more moves to boost
its pitching staff, dealing third baseman
Brett Lawrie to the Chicago White Sox for a
pair of minor league pitchers: right-hander
J.B. Wendelken and minor league left-hander Zack Erwin. The Athletics also agreed
with right-hander John Axford on a $10 million, two-year contract, pending a physical, a person with knowledge of the agreement said on condition of anonymity
because it had not been announced.

allow 5-7 teams to be bowl-eligible based on their Academic

Progress Rates. That let the Big Ten fill its contracted bowl spots
with Nebraska and Minnesota, though the new Arizona Bowl in
Tucson ended having to match Mountain West rivals.
Colorado State and Nevada, who play in different divisions and
didnt meet this season, will play Dec. 29. That angered Mountain
West Commissioner Craig Thompson.
Clearly, the system is broken, Thompson said in a statement.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby leads the football oversight committee and said the goal of the task force is not specifically to cut bowl games.
I think the fact is we do have too many bowl games and we
have more bowl games waiting in the wings, Bowlsby said. But
you cant fault the communities from going and ahead and doing
something if they want to. Were going to have to do a deep dive
on it and figure it out.
Figuring it out wont be easy. There are some clear disagreements among major players.
ACC Commissioner John Swofford said athletic directors in his
conference would prefer teams be at least 7-5 to be bowl eligible.
Currently, the minimum requirement for bowl eligibility is six
victories and a .500 record.
For the Southeastern Conference, the opportunity for 6-6
teams to participate is important, SEC Commissioner Greg
Sankey said.
As many established bowls made deals with Power Five conferences in recent years, Group of Five conferences such as the
Mountain West, American Athletic Conference and Mid-American
Conference have worked to create bowls to provide postseason
opportunities for their members.
Last season, Temple of the American went 6-6 and didnt go to
a bowl game.
South Florida Athletic Director Mark Harlan said it was tough to
hear his counterpart at Temple, Patrick Kraft, recount the story of
how he told last years team it wouldnt be playing in the postseason.
We have to make sure 6-6 teams are rewarded, Harlan said.
Some have suggested drawing a hard line at six victories and
not filling spots if there are not enough eligible teams.

cities to further their franchises and, at this point, dont

seem to have solid plans to stay put or move.
Seems to me the Rams back to L.A. is the no-brainer
move. If Oakland, San Diego or any other NFL team that
wants to move and can get a comprehensive moving/stadium package put together, make a decision then. But for the
NFL to simply let teams move without a plan in place is
just asking for trouble.
And the NFL doesnt need any more problems.

The Serra football team didnt quite reach the heights it
hoped for this season, finishing in a three-way tie for
third in the West Catholic Athletic League with a 4-3
record.
But there was a silver lining when the WCAL all-league
teams were released Monday.
Junior quarterback Leki Nunn was named the WCALs
Most Valuable Player and senior running back Kelepi
Lataimua was named co-running back of the year along
with Riordans Raymone Sanders.
Nunn led the WCAL both rushing and passing. Nunn ran

Which frustrated Sacred Heart Prep coach Tony Martinelli
to no end. A 13-point first quarter isnt so bad, but scoring
only four points in the second all but ended any hopes the
Gators had of getting back into the game.
Following a Salinero bucket to put the Cougars up 22,
Martinelli called a timeout and lit into his team. He didnt
care that two or three starters and a total of five players
are still playing football.
I keep telling the guys, who are here, if we keep waiting
for [those players still playing football] to get here, we
could be in a big hole, Martinelli said. We do have guys
in that locker room, right now, who will be counted on this
season. Sometimes guys pick out their own role (on the
team). They think theyre going to be role players. We need
them now. They need to be stars.
Half Moon Bay went on to lead 42-17 at halftime, shooting 57 percent from the field.
The Cougars kept the pedal to the metal in the third quarter as well. They connected on six of their first seven shots

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Latiamua averaged 7.4 yards a carry and rushed for 953
yards, scoring 12 times. Five times, he eclipsed the 100yard mark, including a season high 183 yards in a 36-28
loss to Bellarmine.

with 6:07 left in the third.
When Nuo converted the Cougars third 3-point play of
the quarter with 4:13 left in the third, he took a seat next to
the rest of the starters on the bench and let the second
string take it the rest of the way.
Which wasnt a bad option. Over the final 12-plus minutes of the game, the Half Moon Bay second and third teams
not only maintained the lead, they expanded it. Miro
Cavanaugh, a 6-4 junior center, finished with eight points
and two rebounds. Ethan Menzies, a sophomore forward,
came up seven points and three boards.
After a submissive first half, Sacred Heart Prep came out
and played a lot more confidently over the final two quarters. Josh Papermaster, who had only one 3-pointer in the
first half, drained three more in the second and finished
with a team-high 17 points. Connor Moses added 13,
going 6 for 6 at the line, while sophomore Eric DeBrine

Ali calls out Trump IOC VP: Brazil economic crisis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Boxing legend Muhammad Ali on

Wednesday criticized Republican presidential front-runner
Donald Trumps proposal to ban Muslims from entering the
United States, calling on Muslims to stand up to those who
use Islam to advance their own personal agenda.
Ali, one of the most famous Muslims in the world, issued
a statement saying, True Muslims know that the ruthless
violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very
tenets of our religion.
He added, I believe that our political leaders should use
their position to bring understanding about the religion of
Islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted peoples views on what Islam really is.
Alis statement Wednesday, first reported by NBC News,
did not identify Trump by name but was directed at presidential candidates proposing to ban Muslim immigration to
the United States.
They have alienated many from learning about Islam,
Ali wrote.
President Barack Obama, in a televised address to the
nation Sunday night, called on Americans to reject discrimination, saying, Muslim Americans are our friends and our
neighbors, our co-workers, our sports heroes.
On Twitter early Monday, Trump asked, What sport is he
talking about, and who? even though Trump has met Ali
several times, and even received an award named after the
former heavyweight champion in 2007.
The 73-year-old Ali, who was born Cassius Clay, converted to Islam and changed his name in 1964.
Another Muslim sports icon, basketball Hall of Famer
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, weighed in Wednesday with an essay
on Time.com. He described Trump as the Islamic State
groups greatest triumph, a candidate who preys on the
fears of the public, doing ISISs job for them.
Abdul-Jabbar wrote that Trumps claims have elevated
him to the level of a James Bond super-villain. And like
those villains, he is doomed to failure.
Also Wednesday, Detroit Lions running back Ameer
Abdullah, who is Muslim, spoke with reporters about
Trumps proposal.
When you have someone like him say some things he
has a very large following its kind of disappointing
from my perspective, Abdullah said. I just encourage
everyone to educate yourself before you take a stance on
something that you may not really know about.

will inevitably affect the games

By Stephen Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland The

political and economic turmoil in
Brazil will inevitably affect next
years Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, a
senior IOC official said Wednesday, as
Brazilian organizers declared that
preparations remain fully on track for
the games.
With the opening ceremony less
than eight months away, Brazil is dealing with severe recession, impeachment proceedings against President
Dilma Rousseff and a massive corruption scandal involving state-run oil
company Petrobras.
They have political and economic
difficulties, IOC vice president Craig
Reedie said. Inevitably, they will
affect the games. There are challenges.
I think they and we will have to get
through it.
Reedie spoke after Rio organizers
made their latest progress report to the
International Olympic Committee
executive board. The Brazilians outlined the progress they have made in
venue construction over the past year,

saying most of the facilities are now

ready for South Americas first
Olympics.
There has been a massive improvement of the situation in the past
months, Reedie said. Thats good
news. Now you have to determine the
service levels that athletes and international federations expect.
Brazils economy was booming
when Rio was awarded the games in
2009, but the country is now in its
worst recession since the 1930s. The
real has lost a third of its value this
year, gross domestic product has tumbled, inflation is nearing 10 percent
and unemployment has soared to nearly 8 percent.
On top of that, Brazil is mired in a
spiraling kickback scandal centered on
Petrobras, and Rousseff whose popularity rating has sunk to about 10 percent is facing impeachment proceedings based on allegations of fiscal
irregularities by her government.
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes, who has
emerged as a central figure in the
Olympic project, spoke to the IOC
board by video conference from Brazil.
Officials said he briefed the members

about the economic problems and the

impeachment process.
Rio organizers are trying to cut 2 billion reals ($530 million), or almost 30
percent, from their operating budget of
7.4 billion reals ($1.9 billion). Rio
officials say most of the cuts involve
behind-the-scenes facilities.
We are in a moment where we need
to adjust everything, Rio organizing
committee chief Carlos Nuzman told
reporters in Lausanne. This is normal.
All the games are the same. We need to
adjust everything and we are doing this
with the IOC, the international federations and the NOCs (national Olympic
committees).
I think the most important thing is
that nothing is affected for the athletes, that nothing affects the organization of the games, Nuzman added.
We have been working for seven
years. We can say today we are on the
way. For the venues, almost everything is ready.
The IOC is discussing separately
what steps it can take to reduce the
spending in Rio, including possible
reductions in food services, transportation and seating for Olympic officials.

Few ways to ready trees, shrubs and vines for winter

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trees, shrubs and vines may need a little

help getting ready for winters frigid temperatures, but not too much.
Dont prune, dont fertilize, dont water.
Any of those three could awaken parts of the
plants at a time when they should be shutting down.
Of course, there are exceptions to this donothing approach. Late-season watering is
called for only if winter survival is chancy
because a plant is crying out from thirst.
Evergreens, especially young ones, are an
exception to the no-watering rule because
they have limited root systems and lose
water through their leaves all winter, so
they need watering during extended periods
of dry weather.

PREPARING FOR
OTHER WINTER HAZARDS

dark-colored bark thats been heated by sunlight on a clear day plummets at sunset.
More of a problem with thin-barked trees,
sunscald can be avoided with white latex
paint. Mixed with equal parts water, and
either sprayed or painted onto tree trunks,
the white latex paint reflects sunlight to
keep the bark evenly cold.
An organic mulch such as wood chips,
straw, leaves or pine needles spread at the
foot of a tree, shrub or vine is another way
to help woody plants in winter. Fluffy,
organic mulches insulate the soil, preventing the frequent freezing and thawing that
could heave young plants, still not wellanchored in the soil, up and out of the
ground.
Although stems wont grow until winter is
over, roots grow whenever soil temperatures
are above about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Insulation provided by mulches also prevents deep freezing of the soil so roots have
a longer period of growth and can continue
to absorb water from the ground.

One potential winter hazard is sunscald,

which can occur when the temperature of

Home splurges to
treat yourself this season
So many of our home-improvement and
design choices are practical ones: Which
sofa will stand up over the years? Which
paint color matches the furniture?
But what about changes that could really
elevate our happiness at home?
Sometimes the smallest things can make
home life easier and more joyful: Interior
designer Kate Jackson says that starting

In this season of gift-giving, weve asked
Jackson and two other designers Sarah
Fishburne, director of trend and design for
the Home Depot, and New York-based
Danielle Colding about home innovations and splurges that you can give yourself.
Colding had a client with a large house
that was often filled with friends. The
with a cozy haven, hidden from the eyes of
predators. And hungry mice can eat and damage your plants. Dont give them the convenient food, lodging and protection of
mulch; leave a mulch-free ring of a few inches diameter around the base of the plant.
For further protection against mice and, a
little higher up, rabbits, the well-accoutered
woody tree or vine will also wear something
around its ankles for winter: A cylinder of

kitchen was the most-used room and he just
wanted the luxury of that room feeling really good, Colding says, but it just felt
cold. So they found a creative solution:
Adding a heated floor.
Th e k ey t o t h es e k i n ds o f i n v es t ments, Colding says, is knowing which
ones will really improve your daily life.
Although expensive, a heated kitchen
floor is a feature you can use every day
to allow for plant growth, and to let you
reach inside to pull weeds. Alternative
anklets might include tree wrap paper,
white plastic spirals (which protect against
sunscald as well as rodents), and various
other plastic, metal or plastic-coated metal
guards. Remove any of these materials,
except for the hardware cloth, in spring, or
they will provide bark-eating insects safe

Its like when people spend $300 on
jeans and it sounds crazy, Colding says,
but they wear those jeans constantly and
treasure them.

turnoffs.
Alternatively, create your own repellent by,
for example, hanging a cut bar of deodorant
soap (leave the wrapper on for better
longevity) on each plant, or by blending
water with eggs, for aroma, and hot pepper,
for taste, and then spraying the mixture on
your plants.
Electronic repellents (such as Deerchaser)
can supplement these perfumes to keep
deer at a distance.
For best results, perfume woody plants
before deer begin feeding and then reapply
the repellent, preferably a different one each
time, every few weeks until spring.

The money comes from the countys innovation fund, which has been used over the
past decade to offer the math and science
teacher innovation award to educators who
need additional funding to implement creative curriculum.
This year the money will support 3-D
printing and design programs at North
Hillsborough Elementary School, science

South San Francisco, robotics and marine

one neighbor jokingly said his light display was powered by solar one year which
prompted a flood of television news interest.
The neighbor told a fib, however, because
he didnt want anyone to ask how much his

The Frankonis have finished decorating

LOCAL
Board President Carole Groom said, in a
prepared statement, the money will be spent
to expand the horizons of students in public
schools across the county.
The county is very proud to be supporting young people in STEM and we hope that
these awards will spur them even further in
their interests and continue to inspire them
in school, she said.
Tara Marinaro, one of the teachers at
Roosevelt Elementary School who is leading the effort to develop the learning lab,
said the funds will be a great asset in helping students learn in new and fun ways.
To be able to give the kids some creative
freedom is immeasurable, she said.
The learning lab at Roosevelt Elementary
School has already been built and put to use,
but the money granted by the county will be
spent to make it more comfortable for students, said Marinaro.

Having the lab which can be used for

brainstorming and collaboration is essential in helping students come up with unique
solutions to real-world problems, said
Marinaro.
Its a better space to workshop ideas,
she said. There is no curriculum, you can do
whatever you want in there.
She expressed great appreciation to the
Board of Supervisors for helping the school
further develop the lab, which is shared by
most students on the Roosevelt Elementary
School campus.
To have that space and have people that
are willing to support us and help us with it,
we cannot thank them enough, she said.
But due in part because of the funds offered
by the county, more students than just those
as Roosevelt Elementary School may soon
have access to the lab, said Pavao.
He is considering opening the doors to

ry picker to put the ornaments on a tall tree

in the front yard. It took eight men and
eight hours to decorate the tree.
They usually try to get the home decorated by Dec. 1 but this year they were just a
little late. The Santa Claus showed up 12
years ago on the day the Frankonis granddaughter was born and when the tree was
only 4 or 5 feet tall.
It now stands 30 feet tall.
Its the ugliest tree the rest of the year.
This is its time, Steve Frankoni said.
He does it to bring smiles to peoples
faces.
One family showed up last year and
showed the Frankonis eight years of pictures taken with their Santa Claus.
The traffic, too, can get heavy.
It can take up to 45 minutes to get to
Eucalyptus Avenue from just seven blocks
away where their daughter lives. The city

even makes the block one-way during the

month to ease traffic.
From Thanksgiving to New Years it
brings the whole community together,
Steve Frankoni said about the Christmas
displays. Everyones in a good mood.
Some businessmen from Korea once
showed up after finding some pictures of
the holiday displays on the Internet. They
wanted to see it for themselves and spent
six hours on the block, Nancy Frankoni
said.
One of the homes on the block, however,
is decorated with dozens of green not-sohappy looking Grinches.
Children and teens love it, the couple
said.

Elementary School District, and others outside of district boundaries too, he said.
We are going to try to branch out a little
more in our district for sure, and out of our
district, he said.
Part of the money from the county will be
spent to improve the appearance of the lab
as well, he said.
We want it to really dazzle when people
walk in, he said.
Marinaro said having such a space to
address issues, such as the Hula-Hoops stuck
in the tree, helps students feel a connection
between their school and lessons.
Its give students a sense of ownership of
the school, she said. Like this is our
space and we are going to be problem
solvers here.
front yard. That prompted the family to
bring Santa in at night to keep him safe.
The weekend before Christmas and
Christmas Eve itself attracts the most visitors to the block. Buses from local senior
centers also show up nearly every night.
Most of the thousands and thousands of
lights on the street are set on timers. They
typically turn on at about 4:30 p.m., just
before the sun starts to set. But dont expect
all the houses to be lit up. Some of the
neighbors do not participate and the family
that started the tradition more than 20 years
ago doesnt participate like they once did.
The Frankonis, however, buy new ornaments and items for the display every year.
We have to put a net over him now to
keep him in control, Nancy said about her
husband.

high schools. Burlingame High
School is the only district campus
that has permanent field lights.
The lights are necessary to allow
students to start school later, and stay
in class longer, without the limitation of having to squeeze in extracurricular activities such as school athletics during periods of the year when
sunlight is limited, according to district officials. Current school start
time is 8 a.m. and the district is looking to move it to either 30 or 45 minutes.
Board President Marc Friedman said
later start times are healthier for students, as research shows students need
more rest time in the morning to be
adequately prepared for school.
Starting early like we do is not
healthy for students, he said.
But residents living near the school
campuses have repeatedly complained
about the light and ruckus invited into
their neighborhood when the district
hosts night sporting events, particularly football games.
To address some of those concerns,
which were expressed in a series of
neighborhood meetings held over
previous months, officials came up
with regulations proposing to limit
the use of the field lights and public
address system.
Friedman said the proposed regulations were drafted with the issues
raised by residents in mind.
These reflect the concerns of the
community, he said.

Under the proposed regulations, for

up to eight home football games per
year, the lights will operate until
about 9:30 p.m., or 10 minutes after
the game ends, which is the latest the
lights will be allowed to run any
night of the week.
For other athletic contests that take
place between Monday and Thursday,
the lights will not run much later than
8:30 p.m.
Lights will be turned down from a
level used during the game to a setting
which makes it safe for fans to leave
for no more than 30 minutes after the
game.
For team practices, the lights may
be used until 8:30 p.m., from Monday
through Thursday, but the public
announcing system cannot be used
during these times.
Friedman said the proposed light
use regulations are more restrictive
than what is employed by other districts which have had lights for years.
Beyond sporting events, the lights
will be used for no more than four
other activities, such as graduation or
other special events, per school year.
The public announcing system will
be limited to 65 decibels, or the limit
set by city ordinance, as it is heard
from the border of the campus nearest
the surrounding neighborhoods.
Schools will be allowed to use the
public announcing system during the
school day, but not before 9 a.m., for
essential announcements.
The terms of the regulations have
yet to be approved, and will be discussed during the upcoming meeting.
Residents living near the athletic
campuses have repeatedly expressed
their discontent with the excess noise
that wafts over their homes and into

their living rooms when sporting

events are held at night on nearby
campuses.
Currently, the district uses temporary lights, which are less powerful,
to host night sporting events.
Campuses in the San Mateo Union
High School District are some of the
few in the county and region which do
not have permanent lamps installed at
athletic fields.
To address the frustrations of neighborhood residents who oppose the
traffic overflow which spills into the
surrounding streets during football
games, officials will work with local
law enforcement agencies to develop
a traffic, parking and security plan for
football games.
Signs will also be posted near the
fields to direct fans toward parking on
school campuses, rather than on surroundings streets, in communities
where such action is necessary.
Officials also pledge a greater focus
on cleaning up after sporting events,
to ensure no trash will float into the
properties of nearby residents.
As a tradeoff to those living near a
campus and wish to reap the benefits
of the field lights for activities such
as running on the track, district staff
will draft an agreement which allows
use of the lamps in the early morning
before students begin arriving.
Should the regulations ultimately
be approved, officials would review
the effectiveness of the program after
two years, with an eye to potentially
adjusting them if necessary.

Pantoja
Case Number: 126343
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Carlos Antonio Pantoja,
aka, Carlos A. Pantoja. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Carlos Alejandro Pantoja in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Carlos Alejandro Pantoja be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 13, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
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 DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Rebecca Bogdanovich
Case Number: 126387
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Rebecca Bogdanovich. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Dennis Roberts in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Dennis
Roberts be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 06, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
