PILLAR POINT HARBOR RESIDENTS FESTOON BOATS IN

Sentencing for two former mosquito dis-
trict nance workers who embezzled a half-
million dollars was delayed yet again Friday
but a judge ordered the one defendant out on
bail taken into custody pending the next
hearing.
Jo Ann Dearman, who is also known by
the name Joanne Seeney,
has been free on bail for
largely the entire time
shes been prosecuted and
eight months since plead-
ing no contest to stealing
from the San Mateo
County Mosquito and
Vector Control District.
However, on Friday,
Judge Jonathan Karesh
ordered her taken into
custody without bail after
defense attorney Geoff
Carr presented a
$200,000 check toward
her expected restitution
order. Carr asked to hold
off on sentencing until
after that check clears and
to also provide another $50,000 check.
The sentence for Dearman, 62, is expect-
ed to be predicated largely on how much she
can repay toward the hundreds of thousands
taken.
Fridays court actions were just the latest
unique twist to getting Dearman and co-
defendant Vika Sinipata, 37, sentenced. In

Burlingame city ofcials want
Caltrans to slow down and provide
more information about a contro-
versial safety project to x the
intersection on Floribunda Avenue
and El Camino Real that could
remove heritage eucalyptus trees if
a left turn signal lane is installed.
The City Council will vote
Monday on sending a letter from
Mayor Michael Brownrigg to
Caltrans stating the city wants it
to adopt the most cost-effective
option with incremental changes.
The letter states that, in the
strongest terms, the city objects
to adding the turn signal lane on
historic, cultural and aesthetic
grounds ... any improvements
should be made with the least pos-
sible impact to the environment.
This is a really important point
of principal and identity for
Burlingame, Brownrigg said.
Its not just a few trees, its the
very nature of the part of El
Camino that passes through
Burlingame. The character is more
than just a couple of trees.
The city is recommending both
it, the town of Hillsborough and
Caltrans adopt the least invasive
Caltrans plans Burlingame widening

Crews at Lomita Avenue between Ridgewood and Bayview
drives worked on xing one of six water main breaks in
Millbrae Friday.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
About 1,000 homes in Millbrae were
without water early Friday morning
following a bizarre string of six water
main breaks that occurred overnight.
The first break occurred at 11:20
p.m. Thursday night in the vicinity of
Camino Alto and Silva Court. Asecond
water main break occurred at 1:20 a.m.
Friday near the intersection of Loyola
Drive and Murchison Avenue.
At 4 a.m., two lines had breaks, one at
the intersection of Helen and Geraldine
drives and one near the intersection of
Larkspur and Ridgewood drives. Another
break occurred at Millbrae Avenue and
Minorca Way at 6 a.m. Friday.
Service was restored to all but around
150 homes at around 7 a.m. Friday,
however, Public Works crews repaired
the lines throughout the day and had
restored service to ve of the six lines
by Friday afternoon. The last break
was expected to be repaired Friday
night so service could be restored to 25
homes, city ofcials said.
Streets were closed within the city
while crews made repairs. Lomita
Avenue between Ridgewood Drive and
Bayview Drive was closed, Helen
Drive between Tioga Drive and
Christine Lane was closed and Camino
Alto at Silva Court was cordoned off.
City ofcials said Friday afternoon
they are still not certain what caused
the water mains to break but are work-
ing with other agencies and cities to
eliminate possible causes.

Dozens of boat owners at Pillar Point
Harbor will compete in the 26th Annual
Lighted Boat Festival 6 p.m. Saturday by dec-
orating their boats in creative holiday dcor.
Visitors can step away from their typical
neighborhood holiday displays and see the
harbor just north of Half Moon Bay like few
have seen before. Attendees at this free event
can enjoy hot chocolate and apple cider, l l
up on fresh sh and crab and watch colorful
harbor characters sing and dance along the
docks.
Even Santa Claus is ditching his sleigh and
coming to celebrate the holidays on the water
as hes escorted in by a restored 1925 sailboat
known as Irene.
Leland Parsons has the pleasure of giving
the jolly old man a lift to the party. He and his
wife Cecily sailed into Pillar Point Harbor
eight years ago to spend the night; when they
awoke it felt like home and they havent left
since, Parsons said. The two live on their
boat and relish putting smiles on the faces of
the public and their grandchildren, Parsons
said.
Last year, he welcomed the nautical Santa
aboard the Irene and introduced him to his
grandchildren who lit up in joy, Parsons said.
When you accomplish that, youve got to
do it again. I dont think I was ever affected by
Santa Claus that way, Parsons said.
He will also be escorting a local band as
they sing Christmas jingles aboard the Irene,
Parsons said.
When you hang around the docks youre
bound to meet some lively characters, Deputy
Harbor Master Cary Smith said. Last year, a
local resident dressed up as Popeye and goo-
ly sang while another showed up in a giant
crab suit and paraded around the docks, Smith
said.
Harbors all across the country participate
in their own lighted boat festivals, Smith
said. Impressive seafood-related light dis-
plays are a common theme and judges will
determine who has the brightest, most color-
ful and unique lighted boat. Winners earn
prizes like hotel stays and restaurant gift
cards; and if theyre lucky, free boat slip rent
for a month.
Everybody who participates gets a prize,
but theres some pretty erce competition so
it makes it interesting, Smith said.
The festival is a great opportunity for the
public to visit the coast and see it in a whole
new light, said Deputy Harbor Master Dave
Arlington. Its also meaningful for the sh-
ing community to mingle with the public,
Arlington said.
The [harbor] tenants like to enjoy seeing
the public come and walk by their boats. Its
a social thing, many of them live on their
boats and are opening up their front yards,
Arlington said.
Although no one lives on the Irene, its a
beloved historic vessel that volunteers
helped restore, Parsons said.
He bought the boat from the San Mateo
County Harbor District for a dollar in late
2007. The Irene spent decades sitting with the
ocean banging at her and was in bad condi-
tion. There are several deserted ships at Pillar
Point and it can costs thousands of dollars to
dispose of an abandoned one. So Parsons res-
cued the Irene and spent ve years xing her
up, he said.
With help from the nonprot Pillar Point
Educational Fund, shes now in tip-top shape
and gave harbor tours to teach the public and
children about coastal preservation.
There are a number of events that encour-
age people locally and from the Peninsula to
come visit and see where you can buy fresh
organic products ... and learn about sustain-
able sheries, Smith said.
The Lighted Boat Festival begins 6 p.m. at
the Pillar Point Harbor. For more information
about the festival and the San Mateo County
Harbor District visit www.smharbor.com.

SACRAMENTO Astate board
gave approval Friday for the
California High-Speed Rail
Authority to start the process of
seizing its rst piece of property
through eminent domain for a $68
billion bullet train.
The State Public Works Board
voted 3-0 to approve a request
from the authority to try to seize a
2.5-acre parcel in Fresno that is
needed to build an underground
trench for the project. The author-
ity has declared an impasse with
the owner of property.
Fresno County records value the
property at $2.4 million. It
includes a 20,000 square-foot
commercial building that is leased
to the state Department of
Corrections.
Rail officials said they have
been unable to reach an agreement
with owner Frank Solomon Jr.
after making an initial offer in
May. Details of the offers have not
been made public.
Solomon did not appear at the
hearing and a phone listing under
that name in Fresno could not
receive messages.
Don Grebe, director of real prop-
erty for the rail authority, said the
parcel has been pegged as critical
to acquire early because of the
complicated construction needed
to be done there. He said the rail
authority is still open to negotia-
tions with the owner.
The action by the board allows
the rail authority to le paperwork
in court asking a judge to determine
the fair market value of the property
as well as compensation the owner
is entitled to for relocation.
Student gunman wounds
two classmates in Colorado
CENTENNIAL, Colo. A
teenager who may have had a
grudge against a teacher opened
re Friday with a shotgun at a sub-
urban Denver high school, wound-
ing two fellow students before
killing himself.
Quick-thinking students alerted
the targeted teacher, who quickly
left the building. The scene unfold-
ed on the eve of the Newtown mas-
sacre anniversary, a somber
reminder of the ever-present
potential for violence in the
nations schools.
One of the wounded students, a
girl, was hospitalized in serious
condition. The other student suf-
fered minor gunshot-related
injuries and was released from the
hospital hours later, authorities
said.
Kansas airport worker
arrested in car bomb plot
WICHITA, Kan. AKansas man
who prosecutors say sympathized
with violent terrorists was arrested
Friday as part of an FBI sting after
he drove a vehicle loaded with
what he thought were explosives
to a Wichita airport.
Investigators allege that Terry
Lee Loewen planned to attack
Wichitas Mid-Continent
Regional airport in a plot aimed at
supporting al-Qaida.
Loewen, a 58-year-old avionics
technician who worked at the air-
port for Hawker Beechcraft, was
arrested before dawn as he tried to
drive onto the tarmac. The materi-
als in the car were inert, and no one
at the airport was in any immediate
danger, authorities said.

The Burlingame
Ci ty Counci l will
discuss and take
action on various
options for the Off
the Grid food trucks
at its Monday night meeting. It will decide
on whether to direct staff to prepare a letter
for the mayors signature requesting
Caltrain either terminate or extend the
agreement with Off the Grid for use of the
Caltrain parking lot located adjacent to the
Broadway train station at California Drive
and Carmelita Avenue.
It will also discuss an alternative of mov-
ing the market to the northern portion of
the Caltrain parking lot or keep at the
southern portion. It will weigh in on
whether another night, such as Tuesday,
would be preferable at the current location.
Additionally, the council will also con-
sider providing direction to staff to evalu-
ate the feasibility of relocating Off the Grid
to Broadway and to report its ndings and
recommendations to the council for con-
sideration at a future meeting.
At the same meeting, the council will
review and determine whether to approve
changes to the historic preservation
covenant as previously accepted by the
council for the Post Ofce property located
at 220 Park Road.
There are two changes. The rst states
that the covenant as originally drafted
would have named both the city and the
Cal i forni a Off i ce of Hi st ori c
Preservati on as jointly responsible for
monitoring and enforcing the provisions.
The ofce has determined it doesnt wish to
be a covenant holder and has asked that it
be removed from administration of the
covenant.
Second, the ofce has asked the good
cause clause be removed from the
covenant. As originally drafted, this clause
would have permitted the covenant holders
to modify or cancel the restrictive provi-
sions of the covenant for good cause and
following notice to the public.
The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Parent Patrick Lucy was selected as the
newest member of the South San Francisco
Unied School District Board of Trustees
Thursday night following two members
recent departures.
The board opted not to name Trustee
Shirlee Hochs replacement since she will
still be in position until Jan. 1, 2014, and
thus there is less urgency, said Trustee Philip
Weise. Hoch, a longtime South San
Francisco Unied School District trustee,
submitted her letter of resignation in
November after a struggle with her health
over the last couple of years, while former
trustee Liza Normandy resigned Nov. 29 after
being elected to the South San Francisco City
Council. Lucy will be Normandys replace-
ment.
Normandy said she thinks Lucy is a great t
for the job.
He hasnt missed a school board meeting
unless he had a work conict, Normandy
said.
Four total candidates were brought to the
meeting Thursday night for consideration,
former City Council candidate Kate MacKay,
Patricia Murray and Hector Camacho Jr.
There were 12 candidates who applied for
the openings. Other than Lucy and the three
others, the applicant pool included Monica
Peregrina Boyd, Chris Kiely, Reem Nasrah,
Sue Olinger, Juliana Salti, along with recent
City Council candidates Bill Lock, Carlos
Martin and Rick Ochsenhirt. Candidates were
interviewed on Monday, Dec. 9 by board
members, excluding Normandy who had
already stepped down, and rated on a one to
four scale by each member.
If the board is unable to make another
selection from this pool to ll Hochs seat, it
will seek out more candidates, Weise said.
Applications for the positions were due to
the district Dec. 4.
Hoch, who became a trustee in 1990, rst
had a stroke in January 2011 and her resigna-
tion takes effect Jan. 1. In May 2011, she
suffered three strokes in the same day result-
ing in brain surgery. As a result, Hoch had to
relearn to talk and read. Her left side was also
impaired.
Lucy and the other new appointee will be
sworn in at the Jan. 16, 2014, meeting.

Prospects for budget
legislation solid in Senate
WASHINGTON One day after winning
lopsided House approval, bipartisan leg-
islation to ease across-the-board spend-
ing cuts and reduce economy-rattling
budget brinkmanship appears likely to
command the 60 votes necessary to clear
the Senate, officials in both parties said
Friday.
Yet unlike in the House, significantly
more Senate Republicans are expected to
oppose the legislation than vote for it,
highlighting the different political forces
at work at opposite ends of the Capitol.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. ,
announced a test vote for Tuesday on the
measure, which cleared the House on an
overwhelming bipartisan vote of 332-94.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars joined the
ranks of the bills opponents during the
day, citing a provision to reduce cost of
living increases for military retirees until
they reach age 62. The result could mean
a cumulative loss in retirement income
of $80,000 for a sergeant first class who
retires at age 40, the group said.
Although Iraq is over and the war in
Afghanistan is winding down, we cant
allow Congress to dismantle the pro-
grams they created over the past 12
years, said William A. Thien, the VFWs
national commander.
White House to keep NSA,
cyber oversight together
WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion will continue the National Security
Agencys surveillance programs and cyber
command operations under the direction of
a single military commander, ofcials said
Friday, the same day a review board sent the
White House more than 40 recommenda-
tions on intelligence collection and gov-
ernment spying. The White House did not
make the task forces report public.
Published reports Friday described the rec-
ommendations as limited in scope.
Following revelations this summer about
sweeping phone and Internet data collec-
tion in the U.S. and around the world, the
administration had considered splitting
oversight of the NSA and the militarys
Cyber Command unit.

means of enhancing safety rst and
then assess the impact on the accident
rate roughly 10 a year over the last
decade, the letter states.
If the accident rate has not dimin-
ished sufficiently over the next 18
months (for example), then the next
more invasive solution would be adopt-
ed, it states. But more than that, it
would ensure that the most draconian
and irreversible solution that of cre-
ating a multi-lane expansion to El
Camino Real with dedicated turn lanes
is the LAST solution to be tried,
rather than the rst.
Other options for the location where
Hillsborough and Burlingame meet
include signal timing modications,
prohibited left turns and splitting of
the main line with left turns to reduce
accidents. Some residents and coun-
cilmembers were frustrated with
California Department of
Transportations scoping meeting in
late November, with many stating they
wanted more statistics and information
on the potential effects of different
options for the intersection. One resi-
dent stated the meeting seemed like
crowd control rather than residents
being able to talk with knowledgeable
experts
Caltrans, which oversees El Camino
Real, has led a Notice of Preparation
with the California State
Clearinghouse to prepare an
Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Assessment to
address safety concerns. There have
been 107 collisions from January 2002
to December 2011, with 63 collisions
left-turn related, according to Caltrans.
The city of Hillsborough wrote its
own letter dated Dec. 10 to Caltrans. It
states the city strongly resists any
plan to remove [the trees]. It is also
asking for another public meeting. The
letter was spurred by a need for more
data and details on the proposed plans,
said City Manager Randy Schwartz.
There is a national register listing
for the Howard-Ralston Eucalyptus Tree
Rows that ank El Camino Real from
Ray Drive to Peninsula Avenue. The
listing means that the historic status of
the trees needs to be considered as part
of environmental scoping. These trees
are a dening characteristic of the city
and, without the trees, Burlingame is
just another city that has opted out of
the trees, said Councilman Jerry Deal.
For more than 15 years, Caltrans has
been made aware of local interest to
improve intersection conditions in the
area, including at Bellevue, Oak Grove,
Forest View avenues, said David Reel,
vice president and of principal design
and planning at AECOM, Caltrans
consulting rm on the project. Funding
of $2 million to improve safety at the
intersection was approved in 2011.
Caltrans cant comment on either let-
ter at this time since it has yet to see
either, said Caltrans spokeswoman
Gidget Navarro.
Written comments on the Notice of
Preparation will be accepted until Dec.
21. Caltrans will consider hosting
another meeting following the dead-
line, Navarro said. Please send com-
ments to: Yolanda Rivas, District
Branch Chief, Ofce of Environmental
Analysis, California Department of

November, Carr even agreed to surrender his client as long
as it was after the Thanksgiving holidays but Karesh
declined. The newly scheduled Jan. 17 sentencing hearing
will be the seventh attempt.
Dearmans delay also halted Sinipatas hearing because
attorneys want both women to stand together. Unlike
Dearman, Sinipata has been in custody.
Dearman was originally charged with nearly 200 crimes.
She pleaded no contest to 10 felonies in return for seven
years at most. Sinipata pleaded no contest to 12 felonies
with no sentencing promises.
Dearman was the nance director at the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District. Sinipata served as an
accounting supervisor and bookkeeper assistant. The pair
embezzled the funds between 2009 and 2011 by giving
themselves extra pay at a higher pay rate and fraudulent time
off, excessively contributing to their deferred compensa-
tion funds, using credit cards for personal purchases and
electronically transferring money into their own accounts.
An audit showed more than $635,000 missing but prosecu-
tors only charged them with stealing approximately
$450,000 because they could not prove an actual loss of the
greater amount. Other evaluations have placed the district
lose closer to $800,000 for the embezzlement and more
than $1.2 million when attorney fees are added in.
The charges against Dearman and Sinipata raised ques-
tions about the districts oversight and operations, particu-
larly because at the time Dearman had one embezzlement
conviction on her record and was being prosecuted for a sec-
ond. Manager Robert Gay hired Dearman without a back-
ground or reference check after Sinipata, who Gay knew
through her accounting services, referred her. Dearman then
hired Sinipata.
According to a now-retired operations director at the dis-
trict, Dearman charged defense attorneys fees for that case
to the district and at one point took medical leave, claiming
she needed to care for her mother but in actuality served two
years and eight months in prison for the two different
embezzlement cases. In one case, Dearman ran up more than
a half-million dollars on her boss credit card.
The embezzlement came to light after a board member
appointed by the city of San Carlos questioned the balance
in a pesticide account.
In July, the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury dinged the
district and Gay for turning a blind eye to the embezzle-
ment, an allegation the jury argued was bolstered by its
insurance company denying the $790,000 loss claim.

Fake interpreter reportedly faced murder charge

bogus sign language interpreter at Nelson

accused of murder 10 years ago.
Ofcials said they were investigating the

schizophrenic with violent tendencies was
allowed to get within arms length of

T
hat government-monitored
mobile tracking device most
of us carry around for the
benefit of our nations domestic spy-
ing agency that device we used to
call a phone has evolved dynami-
cally in the past 25 years.
Smartphones hand-held devices
with Internet connectivity can do
everything a desktop computer can
do. Except you cant slip a desktop
computer into your shirt pocket.
But the privacy rules that apply to
mobile phones have not changed in
those 25 years. The Public Utilities
Commission regulations that dictate
how and under what circumstances
our usage can be tracked and cata-
logued are the same ones that
applied when Michael Douglas was
wielding a quart-bottle sized
Motorola DynaTAC in the 1987 film
Wall Street. Back then, we used
phones to talk to people. And an
app? That had to be a typo.
Now our smartphones are electron-
ic beacons that betray our every
move, our every communication, our
every proclivity. And its all record-
ed in giant databases, both govern-
mental and corporate.
Many people believe its time the
PUC took a look at its antiquated
privacy regulations. The PUC itself
is apparently not among them.
Indications are that on Jan. 16 the
California regulatory agency will
decide that the privacy safeguards
that apply to landline activity do
not apply to mobile phone activity.
If anything, the hierarchy of pri-
vacy protections should be ordered
the other way.
But the PUC, given the opportuni-
ty to close gaps in privacy standards
that didnt exist a quarter-century
ago before cellphones became ubiq-
uitous, seems poised to adopt
Commissioner Mark Ferrons pro-
posal to essentially ignore the
issue. Ferrons proposal maintains
that present laws and corporate poli-
cies are enough to safeguard poten-
tially sensitive customer informa-
tion. He also professes that the
U.S. has not experienced any serious
privacy breaches a claim that
would suggest he has spent the past
three years in cryogenic deep-freeze.
The PUC would be better served
adopting Commissioner Catherine
Sandovals proposal to review all
telecommunication regulations and
consider new privacy protections
that would not have been necessary
in 1986, when existing laws were
established. Thats only the proper
and logical thing to do, given the
advances in communication technol-
ogy and outsiders growing ability
to track it.
Sandoval was appointed to the
PUC two years ago precisely for her
expertise in these areas; she taught
telecommunications and Internet law
at Santa Clara Universitys School
of Law. Ferrons background is
banking and economics; he and PUC
President Michael Peevey typically
champion the priorities of business
over the rights of consumers, so
three of the five votes are all but
known already. The writing is on the
smartphone screen: marketers appar-
ently have as much right to know
your business as you do.
But consumers still have time to
weigh in. Call the two PUC commis-
sioners whose voting inclinations
arent yet clear. Call Commissioner
Carla J. Peterman at 415-703-1407
and Commissioner Michel P. Florio
at 415-703-2440 and tell them you
expect the PUC to look out for ordi-
nary Californians.
Will the PUC ignore our privacy concerns?
Historic opportunity for
California Republicans
By John McDowell
C
alifornia is politically diverse, but one group seems
especially intent on rejecting President Obama.
Their antipathy stems from many concerns, but a
lot of it can be traced to immigration and family values
issues. Add into that economic misgivings, particularly the
recent collapse of the housing market, and stubbornly high
unemployment and you have a recipe for rejection.
That group is, of course, Hispanics.
Not what you were expecting, Im sure.
However, the general incompetence of
the Obama administration on the domes-
tic front has led to a historic opportunity
for the California Republican Party.
Lets look at some recent polling. Last
week, Gallup reported that nationally
Hispanic support for the president col-
lapsed over the past year. Approval of the
president by Hispanics is down 75 per-
cent, almost double the decline for all Americans, and it is
the largest decline of any sub-group polled. At the same
time, Field Research released a poll of California registered
voters showing that in their words, Some of the largest
declines in Obamas job approval rating have come from
segments of the California electorate that had been among
the Presidents strongest supporters, including a 16 point
drop among Hispanic voters.
All of this is good news for Republicans, since Hispanics
make up about 24 percent of the California electorate and
that share is growing. Here in San Mateo County, eligible
Hispanic voters are already at 16 percent of the population.
Into this mix enter former San Mateo County supervisor
Ruben Barrales and his organization; GROWElect, dedicated
to electing Hispanic Republicans across California. I rst
wrote about Barrales efforts in October at the Republican
Partys state convention. He seemed to be everywhere that
weekend, encouraging integration and inclusion of
Hispanics into the partys electoral strategies.
Unlike ill-fated outreach efforts, GROWElect is about
grassroots organizing in Hispanic communities across
California. Outreach implies an us and them mentality, the
idea that we are somehow different (better?) than those
others are and that a little public relations ought to con-
vince those folks to learn whats best for them and join us.
That California Republican mindset has led to top-down,
last-minute advertising campaigns and candidates who say
buenos dias now and then. The result is Jerry Brown win-
ning with 64 percent of the Hispanic vote is his latest run for
governor.
GROWElects community efforts have paid off.
Overthrowing conventional wisdom about Hispanic
Republicans, in November it helped elect 15 Hispanics to
local ofces across the state. These newly elected ofcials
join the more than 30 incumbent ofcials supported by
Barrales organization over the last two years.
As Barrales noted, This has been a terric year for ...
empowering Latino Republicans and strengthening the ties
between Californias Latino community and the Republican
Party ... we now have almost 50 candidates, Latinos and
those with exceptional ties to the Latino community, who
weve helped to elect. We are proud of our terric candidates.
They will bring leadership and commitment to their commu-
nities and new energy to Californias Republican Party.
That success has already inspired new Hispanic
Republicans in the Bay Area. For example, Jamie Patino of
Union City is now running for Assembly District 20. That
same sort of grassroots success can happen in San Mateo
County as well. However, it will take a sustained effort by
the county party (full disclosure, I am a member of the GOP
Central Committee) rather than the usual (badly) translated
brochures and mariachi bands at a local picnic.
One of the rst steps is simply to show up. Republican
leaders need to make a point of showing up at events in
Hispanic neighborhoods, not to make speeches, but to listen
and learn and gain a fuller understanding of the needs and
concerns of the Hispanic community. Whether at the North
Fair Oaks Community Festival or Dia de los Muertos celebra-
tions in Redwood City, San Mateo County Republicans need
to be a visible presence. Unfortunately, that hasnt been the
case in recent times.
Only by listening, learning and then helping to meet com-
munity concerns can Republicans earn the responsibility of
leadership in Hispanic communities. As Republican
President Teddy Roosevelt put it, No one cares how much
you know, until they know how much you care.
Republicans in California have a historic opportunity. The
collapse of Hispanic support for President Obama provides
an opening for reform-minded, Hispanic Republicans to run
and win in local elections for special districts, school boards
and city councils. In addition, it provides a chance for
Republicans not to reach out, but to include Hispanics in
our efforts to bring responsible, common-sense solutions to
all of California and for all Californians.

Nelson Mandelas Speech
from the Dock, Rivonia Trial, April
20, 1964
Just a handful of people in the last
century have made the kind of
sweeping impact for good in the way
that Nelson Mandela did think
Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther
King Jr. He was a charismatic man
who in a non-violent way put his
life on the line and his person in
prison for his convictions. He
changed the face of South Africa and,
really, the world.
While Mandela was still a young
boy, his father died, and he became a
ward of the acting king. Leaving his
village and joining the royal family
exposed Mandela to the thinking of
tribal elders and put him on the path
to learning about African history and
dreaming of freedom and equality for
black South Africans.
He became increasingly political-
ly active and in 1944 joined the
African National Congress. For
many years, he led non-violent
actions and civil disobedience
against the South African govern-
ment and its racist policies.
He was arrested and put on trial
several times. Perhaps the most sig-
nificant was the 1964 Rivonia Trial
where he and seven others faced the
death penalty but were convicted of
sabotage and sentenced to life in
prison. While in prison, he learned
the language of his captors so he
could communicate with them.
In February 1990, Mandela was
released from prison after 27 years
of incarceration.
Just three years later, he and South
African President F.W. de Klerk
received the Nobel Peace Prize for
their efforts to end that govern-
ments nearly 50-year-old system of
apartheid, which enforced racial seg-
regation and curtailed the rights of
the majority black population while
enhancing the rule of the white
Afrikaner minority.
Mandela made history in 1994
when he was elected the first black
president of the Republic of South
Africa in the countrys first open
election. He served one term and
stepped down in 1999.
The name of Nelson Mandela will
live on in history and in the
hearts and minds of those who
believe equality and freedom should
be the destiny of all people.

Big movers

The rally that has driven stocks to
record highs paused this week as
investors tried to figure out where
things are headed next.
Stocks were mixed on Friday and
posted their second weekly loss in a
row. Indexes reached record highs as
recently as Monday, but then declined.
How come? Investors may be nerv-
ous that stocks are overpriced, that
stock prices have grown faster than
justied by prots. They may be wor-
ried about conict with Iran, or the
debate over federal spending. Some
are worried the Federal Reserve will
decide next week to reduce its econom-
ic stimulus, which has boosted stock
prices.
Its a hiatus, said Frank Fantozzi,
CEO of money management firm
Planned Financial Services. I really
think theres nothing economically
wrong.
Fantozzi noted that other bull mar-
kets have run for seven or eight years
and peaked with higher prices com-
pared to prots than what were seeing
now.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 15.93 points, or 0.1 percent, to
close at 15,755.36. The Standard &
Poors 500 index fell 0.18 points, or
0.01 percent, to 1,775.32. The
Nasdaq composite rose 2.57 points,
or 0.06 percent, to 4,000.98.
All three indexes fell for the week
despite strong reports on employ-
ment, housing, and retail spending.
Investors have been worried that the
stronger the Fed thinks the economy
is, the more likely it is to stop buying
$85 billion per month in bonds. The
purchases have been aimed at keeping
interest rates low, which makes it
cheaper to borrow.
That has sent investors into stocks
as they seek higher returns. The big
indexes are up 20 percent or more this
year.
The central banks policymaking
committee meets next week and will
announce any decisions on
Wednesday.
Guessing when the stimulus will end
has become a parlor game for
investors. They are stuck between bet-
ting that it will end soon, meaning
stocks could decline, versus betting
that it will continue, bringing the bull
market along with it.
Scott L. Wren, a senior equity strate-
gist at Wells Fargo Advisors, believes
the Fed will telegraph its intentions
well in advance. Since they havent
done that yet, it suggests they wont
act until the spring, he said. He also
thinks the Fed could reduce its stimu-
lus very slowly, easing the pain for
nancial markets.
The Fed wants to err on the side of
caution, and not do anything too
crazy, he said.
Half of the 10 industry groups in the
S&P 500 rose, led by consumer discre-
tionary stocks. Stocks with declines
included energy and technology
stocks, as Apple, Google, and
Microsoft all dipped.
December is shaping up to be a poor
month for the stock market. The Dow,
S&P and Nasdaq are all down. If they
nish December lower, it would be the
rst monthly decline since August and
only the third down month for the
year.
Anadarko Petroleum fell $5.37, or 6
percent, to $78.30 after a federal
bankruptcy judge said the company
may be liable for between $5 billion
and more than $14 billion in a legal
battle over the spinoff of a paint mate-
rials company. The ruling isnt nal.
Software maker Adobe Systems
jumped almost 13 percent after sub-
scription-based revenue rose. Adobe
rose $6.90 to $60.89.
Video game maker Electronic Arts
rose $1.25, or 6 percent, to $22.22
after early reports showed strong sales
of new video game consoles from
Sony and Microsoft.
Benchmark crude oil fell 90 cents to
$96.60 on the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
Stocks mixed after three-day downturn
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES California has long
been a union stronghold, but voters in the
reliably Democratic state are gradually
taking a more negative view of organized
labor, a poll released Friday suggested.
The independent Field Poll said that by
a narrow margin, more voters said unions
do more harm than good, as opposed to
those who see organized labor as general-
ly beneficial.
The figures represent a turnaround from
a 2011 Field survey, when more voters
said unions resulted in more good than
harm.
The shift comes at a time of ongoing
labor conflicts in the state and nation,
often involving government employee
pensions and retirement benefits. It also
tracks a long-running national trend, in
which support for labor unions has gradu-
ally slipped.
Retirement costs for government work-
ers contributed to bankruptcies in three
California cities in recent years
Stockton, Vallejo and San Bernardino
and municipal budgets have been squeezed
by growing worker benefits and pay. In
the San Francisco Bay Area, two transit
strikes this year caused headaches for hun-
dreds of thousands of commuters.
In many communities public pensions
are starting to crowd out the services that
local governments can provide. That
doesnt sit well with the public, pollster
Mark DiCamillo said.
Compared to the earlier poll, unions
lost ground across most age, political and
demographic groups.
Si nce 2011 vi rt ual l y every vot er
subgroup now displays a shift toward a
somewhat more negative view of labor
unions than they had expressed previ-
ousl y, the survey said.
The poll of 1,002 registered voters,
conducted Nov. 14 to Dec. 5, found that
45 percent said labor unions do more
harm than good.
That compared to 40 percent who said
unions do more good than harm.
The findings were nearly identical when
voters were asked about labor unions,
generally, or public employee unions.
California Labor Federation spokesman
Steve Smith said the figures show the
results of a well-funded, coordinated
attack on unions by corporate interests
that want to abolish organized labor.

SAN ANTONIO Anovel way to speed the
testing of cancer drugs and quickly separate
winners from duds has yielded its rst big
result: an experimental medicine that shows
promise against a hard-to-treat form of breast
cancer. The method involves studying drugs
in small groups of people and using advanced
statistical techniques to analyze the results as
they come in, instead of waiting for all the
data to arrive.
Whether the drug, veliparib, ever makes it
to market remains to be seen, but it has
shown enough potential to advance to nal-
phase testing aimed at Food and Drug
Administration approval.
Bringing a new cancer drug to market usual-
ly takes more than a decade and tests in thou-
sands of patients, and costs more than $1 bil-
lion. Companies cant afford many studies
like that, and patients cant wait years for
potentially life-saving new medicines, said
Don Berry, a biostatistician at the University
of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

LOS ANGELES Cable TV operator
Charter Communications Inc. is preparing to
send a letter offering to buy the much larger
Time Warner Cable Inc. for below $135 per
share as early as Monday.
Thats according to a person familiar with
the matter, who was unauthorized to speak
publicly and spoke on condition of
anonymity. The news was reported earlier by
The New York Times DealBook blog.
The offer would value Time Warner Cable at
up to $38 billion, and represents a small pre-
mium to the New York companys closing
price of $131.41, up 35 cents, on Friday. But
shares have risen from the mid-$90s in June,
largely on takeover speculation.
The person said the offer would be in cash
and stock and that Charter has lined up $25
billion in debt to help nance the deal.
Whether or not the offer is made publicly
available would depend on Time Warner
Cables reaction to the offer, the person said.
ATime Warner Cable spokesman declined
to comment.
Consolidation talk has percolated through-
out the cable TV world ever since billionaire
John Malones Liberty Media Corp. took a
27 percent stake in Charter for $2.6 billion
in May.

Lack of respect is nothing new to SHP
EL CERRITO GAUCHOS VS. SACRED HEART PREP GATORS CIF NORCAL REGIONAL
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Sacred Heart Prep football team has
had more than its fair share of haters this sea-
son.
It began during camp, when haters said the
Gator non-league schedule was soft SHP
responded by going 5-0.
It continued during the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division schedule when haters
said PALplay would bring them back to Earth
and that, after losing so many seniors from
last years championship team, theyd bare-
ly scrape by. SHP responded by going 4-1
and earning a No. 1 seed come Central Coast
Section playoff time.
Surely, the haters said, the CCS playoffs
will expose the Gators.
Wrong, again. A 3-0 run and a dominant
win over Pacic Grove means SHP is now a
back-to-back CCS Division IV champion.
Haters point to SHP as an academic school
and not a football-tough team. Theyve been
called soft, physically inferior.
And with the CIF Division IV Northern
California championship around the corner,
everyone literally, everyone keeps
the mounds of hate coming. If you read the
message boards, according to the haters, SHP
shouldnt even show up to El Sobrante High
School Saturday night to play the mighty El
Cerrito Gauchos.
But if you know anything about Pete
Lavorato and his Gators, you know the lack
of respect isnt new to his boys. In fact, itll
be the fuel they use to give El Cerrito one
heck of a football game. And if you know
anything about this seasons SHP squad,
theres no way theyll show up to
Richmond on Saturday and just roll
over to the Gauchos.
Its funny, Lavorato said,

about it during the

SAN JOSE The Northern California
Division I championship game presented
an opportunity for the Serra football team
to build on one of the best seasons in
school history.
In order to take advantage of that oppor-
tunity, the Padres needed to make the plays
when they got the chance.
Del Oro had the same opportunities and
when it came right down to it, the Golden
Eagles took advantage of their chances in
a 28-20 victory Friday night San Jose City
College.
They did what we expected them to do
on offense and defense and they did it bet-
ter than we did, said Serra coach Patrick
Walsh. At the end of the day, we made too
many mistakes.
Not only were the Padres battling Del
Oro, they were ghting themselves as they
committed 11 penalties for 105 yards.
That being said, Serra (11-3) still had its
opportunities to win the game. Their last

Sports Brief
Winston says he knew he would be vindicated
NEWYORK Jameis Winston smiled and laughed, pos-
ing for pictures with the other Heisman Trophy nalists and
the big bronze statue that he is expected to take home.
And when it came time to answer questions from the
media on Friday, the Florida State star quarterback did so
condently and without hesitation, even when his protec-
tion broke down.
Winston and four of the other six Heisman nalists
Texas A&Ms Johnny Manziel, Auburns Tre Mason,
Boston Colleges Andre Williams and Northern Illinois
Jordan Lynch met with reporters at a Midtown
Manhattan hotel for short interviews. Alabamas AJ
McCarron was in Baltimore accepting another award.
Florida State ofcials tried to limit questions that were
even vaguely related to the rape accusation against
Winston. The state attorney closed the investigation last
week, saying there was not enough evidence to win a con-
viction.
The 19-year-old, who hasnt spoken directly about the
details of the investigation, seemed unfazed by the ques-
tions that did come his way. He said he was ne remaining
silent about the case.
I knew I did nothing wrong. I knew I could respect the
process and Id eventually be vindicated. It was more about
me being silent for my family because I didnt want to put
my family in those situations.

It doesnt matter how far along you
are in a basketball season there is
never a bad time, or in this case too
early of a time, to get a statement win.
The Half Moon Bay boys basket-
ball team came into the 37th version
of the Burlingame Lions Club tourna-
ment with every intention to do just
that. With four of their ve starters
returning from last seasons highly
successful team, the Cougars knew
that a win Friday night in the tourna-
ments championship game against
the host Panthers would speak vol-
umes about their team as we inch clos-
er and closer to Peninsula Athletic
League play.
And while it took Half Moon Bays
best survival efforts in the third quar-
ter, the Cougars came away with a 66-
53 win over Burlingame.
Its an early statement win, said
Half Moon Bay head coach Rich
Forslund. It says we can play with the
very best. Hopefully, well see them
down the road with the county champi-
onship on the line.
The Cougars received star efforts
from their star players in particular
Corey Cilia, who scored 13 points in
that pivotal third quarter and added 10
more in the fourth to out-duel
Burlingames Frankie Ferrari.
Ferrari sat out the entire rst half
wearing street clothes but came on
like gang-busters in the third quarter
scoring 12 points while knocking
down 4 of 5 from beyond the arc in
those eight minutes. Ferraris return to
the court energized the Burlingame
team as a whole and a lead that was as
big as 21 was down to six with two
minutes left in the game.
But Cilia and company toughed it
out while the Panthers got cold from
the perimeter. He hit four big free
throws down the stretch to ice it.
We pressured the ball well, Cilia
said. Its something that killed us
[Thursday] night although we came out
with the win. This is a great win that
gives us a lot of condence going for-
ward. Were a good team, but we still
have a long way to go.
With Frankie out, they dont have
the same kind of weapons, Forslund
said. Hes the best player in the
league so with him in there, you
expect those kinds of things (like a
comeback).
With Ferrari out, the Cougar defense
focused heavily on Nick Loew. Half
Moon Bay suffocated the All-League
center in the rst half. Not only did
Loew score just three points in the rst
half (all in the second quarter), but he
rarely touched the ball and Enrico
Nuno and Case DuFrane kept him to
just four rebounds. The Cougars went
on a 9-0 run to end the second quarter
to push a ve-point lead into 14 to end
the half. Cilia scored 10 points in that
rst half.
But things changed in the second
half as soon as Ferrari touched the
ball. Acouple of dribbles in, No. 4 ele-
vated and knocked down his rst 3. By
the end of the third quarter, Half Moon
Bay had increased its lead, but there
was something in the air that said
Burlingame was looking to make a big
run.
The run was fueled by Justin Gutang.
No. 23 scored four points in the third
and added 13 in the fourth quarter. It
was his And-1 play midway through
the fourth quarter that got the Panthers
to within six points the rst time.
But as Burlingame got close, Cilia
always had an answer. He nished with
33 points, making the all-tournament
team in the process. Nuno, who scored
18 points in the championship game,
was named the tournaments Most
Valuable Player.

JULIO LARA/DAILY JOURNAL
Jordan Cariaga is congratulated after
Half Moon Bays win Friday night.
chance came with 1:51 left in the game and
the ball at its own 20. Down 28-20,
Quarterback Matt Faaita guided the Padres to
the Del Oro 32 before the Golden Eagles
stood tall. They dodged a bullet when Kava
Cassidy made what looked to be a diving,
rolling catch on fourth down, but it was ruled
incomplete with three seconds to play.
We lost by eight points and theres cer-
tainly nothing to be ashamed of, Walsh said.
Serras defense had its rst opportunity to
see if it could slow Del Oros 1,600-yard run-
ning back Dylan Kainrath, who served notice
early as to what kind of night he would have
when he broke off a 26-yard touchdown run
on his rst carry of the game. He busted out of
three would-be tackles and went into the end
zone for a 7-0 Del Oro lead with 8:36 to play
in the rst quarter.
Kainrath would go on to torch the Padres
for 217 yards on 28 carries.
Serra responded on its ensuing drive, con-
verting a key fourth down to keep the drive
alive. The Padres ended up going 68 yards on
10 plays, with Faaita scoring from nine
yards out to tie the score at 7.
The teams exchanged punts before the
Padres next opportunity fell by the wayside.
A Padres punt pinned the Golden Eagles at
their 1-yard line. They stuffed Kainrath on
rst down, but on second-and-10, Kainrath
bolted through the line of scrimmage and
went 87 yards before being run down.
On second down at the Serra 22, Del Oro
quarterback Michael Moore scrambled to his
right and threw a jump ball into the end zone.
Receiver Tyler Meteer out-jumped Serra
Hamilton Anoai to put the Golden Eagles up
14-7, capping a 99-yard drive.
The 99-yard drive was a turning point,
Walsh said.
Serra tied the game again with just over four
minutes to play in the rst half, taking advan-
tage of a 23-yard Del Oro punt. Kelepi
Lataimua capped a 35-yard drive with a four-
yard run.
Del Oro responded with another long scor-
ing drive, taking a 21-14 lead with just sec-
onds left in the rst half. The Golden Eagles
drove 80 yards on 12 plays, with Therin
Heryford out-jumping Anoai in the left cor-
ner of the end zone.
Del Oro appeared to break the Padres backs
when Trey Udofa returned a punt 40 yards for
a touchdown midway through the third quarter
to put the Golden Eagles up 28-17, but when
the Padres recovered a Del Oro fumble follow-
ing a punt, it breathed new life into Serra.
Unfortunately, the Padres could not take full
advantage of that momentum swing. After
recovering the fumble at the Del Oro 26, Serra
drove to the eight before stalling and settling
for a Steven Bodley 25-yard eld goal.
The Padres defense forced a three-and-out on
Del Oros next possession and took over at
the Golden Eagles 46. This time, the drive
stalled out at the 17 and Bodley booted a 33-
yard eld goal to cut Del Oros lead to 28-20
heading into the fourth quarter.
We were in the red zone and instead of scor-
ing touchdown, we had eld goals, Walsh
said.
Serra forced another Del Oro punt, taking
over at mideld. But on fourth-and-two at the
Golden Eagles 22, the Padres came up short.
The Golden Eagles intercepted a pass on
Serras next possession and then Serra saw its
season end when Faaita and Kennedy could
not hook up late in the game.
Faaita provided the bulk of the Serra
offense. He completed 17 of 31 passes for
206 yards. He also led the Padres in rushing
with 61 yards on 20 carries. Del Oro did a
good job of shutting down the Padres ground
attack, limiting them to just 120 yards rush-
ing.
titles in four years that wouldnt be the case.
But, it is what it is. We have a tremendous
amount of respect for El Cerrito. Theyre a
very good football team. But that doesnt
mean we arent going to compete. We respect
them. And if they respect that, well, we appre-
ciate that. But if they dont, theres nothing
we can do about it.
El Cerrito would be mistaken to underesti-
mate SHP, for sure. Sacred Heart Prep has eld-
ed one of the Central Coast Sections stingi-
est defenses during its run of back-to-back
Division IV titles. In 26 games (24 of them
wins) the Gator defense has averaged only
nine points a game. Relying on a combina-
tion of speed, athleticism and intelligence,
the SHP defense is the backbone of the team
and will determine their fate Saturday night.
The Gauchos went 6-0 in El Cerritos Tri-
County Rock Division and are about as ath-
letic of a team as youll in the NCS with
the number of NCAA Division I recruits
already well documented. Theyve put up an
average of 42 points a game with that number
climbing to 53 during the North Coast
Section playoffs with a high of 64 in a win
over Tamalpais. Only three teams (all of them
in the beginning of the season) have held the
Gauchos to under 40 points.
Chief amongst SHPs concerns is the play
of the UCLA-bound Adarius Pickett, a player
who is dynamite with the football in his
hands. As an offensive threat, either on the
ground or through the air, Pickett is averag-
ing 14 yards a touch. In the DIV champi-
onship game against Marin Catholic, he tal-
lied 255 yards and four touchdowns. He also
mans one of the corner positions for El
Cerrito.
Pickett isnt alone. SHP will also have to
contend with quarterback Keilan Benjamin,
who hooked up with brother Keith for three
touchdowns passes in that win over Marin,
Jalen Harvey and James Houston.
We dont take anyone lightly, Lavorato
said. In fact, we always feel like we have to
play well to win. We play hard. We play clean
and we play fast. When we break that huddle,
its all about pride and poise pride in the
program and poise on the eld.
While the Gauchos are playing on a whole
different level right now, a closer look at their
schedule points at a September loss to
Campolindo. Thats of impor-
tance considering
Campolindo came into the
Peninsula Athletic League
around that same time and
took down Menlo-Atherton in
what was a close game until
the fourth quarter. SHP defeated M-Athis sea-
son so its something interesting to point
out if youre trying to guess how the Gators
will fare against El Cerrito.
We played a lot of strong teams and we
havent backed down from anyone, Lavorato
said. And we wont. This is going to be a
game, Ill tell you that much right now.
Bottom line is, talk is cheap. Well go out
and play and thats really what its all about.
The truth is, we have a tremendous amount of
respect for El Cerrito. But you have to go out
there and play the game.

SANTA CLARA Eric Wright raised his
arms to the sky, his right hand clutching the
ball, then danced off the eld collecting
hugs and hand slaps from his San Francisco
teammates.
The veteran cornerback
nally was back in his
playmaking element.
Wright and the 49ers
had reason to celebrate
after his interception in
the nal minute last week
sealed San Franciscos
19-17 victory over the
Seattle Seahawks, a game
in which Wright was
knocked out with a head injury in the third
quarter but was back on the eld to make a
play when it counted at the end.
In Sunday, the 49ers visit the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, the team Wright played for last
year during a tumultuous season in which he
was suspended for four games.
It was a long way down for Wright since
then before he got back on the eld with the
49ers in November.
I was able to change the perspective a lit-
tle bit to get the most out of the situation,
Wright said, and I was able to do that and
really take that situation in stride and
become not only a better football player,
but a better person.
Wright has stepped up for the 49ers when
they needed him. His return from an eight-
week stay to start the season on the
reserve/non-football injury list came just a
few weeks before San Francisco lost start-
ing right cornerback Tarell Brown to a rib
injury that has sidelined Brown for the past
three games.
Wright has moved into the regular nickel
back role for a defense that has extra defen-
sive backs on the eld more often than not.
He had a team-high two passes-defensed
against the Seahawks, playing a key role in
a defense that limited Seattle and quarter-
back Russell Wilson to 178 net yards pass-
i ng.
He has been getting better and better,
which is what you would expect that would
naturally come with more practice time and
more playing time, 49ers defensive coordi-
nator Vic Fangio said. Hes been improv-
ing, and we have high hopes for him the rest
of the season and in the future.
Wright had to wait patiently to get him-
self back in that position following a
stretch that saw him fall from grace after
signing a ve-year, $37.5 million deal as a
free agent with the Buccaneers in 2012.
Wright served a four-game suspension
after testing positive for performance-
enhancing drugs, and the Buccaneers traded
him to the 49ers for a conditional draft pick
in July. But Wright failed his physical with
San Francisco and the deal was voided. The
Bucs subsequently released him.
It was later revealed that Wright had been
arrested for suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles
on July 12. He also had been arrested for
DUI in 2012, but those charges were later
dropped.
Undeterred, the 49ers signed Wright to a
one-year deal on Aug. 8. He was promptly
placed on the NFI/Illness list, where he
remained throughout training camp before
he was placed on the Reserve/NFI list at the
end of the month.
Thats difcult for anybody thats been
playing in the league six years and starting
in the league six years, said Wright, who
started 71 games during his rst ve NFL
seasons with the Cleveland Browns and
Detroit Lions.
But the 49ers had a plan for Wright, and he
worked hard to get back on the eld and
overcome his personal issues.
When Wright was signed by San
Francisco, coach Jim Harbaugh said it had
the makings of a great story. Harbaugh said
Friday hes pleased by how that story is
unfolding.
Very well, Harbaugh said. Feel good for
him and feel good to be a part of it in a small
way. But hes done the heavy lifting. No
question about it.
Wright, a star athlete during his prep days
at San Franciscos Riordan High School,
grew up watching the 49ers.
He has been able to savor that opportuni-
ty after spending the rst nine games of the
season out of uniform on the sidelines.
I wanted to be available and ready and
having the opportunity to play whenever
that came about and just being able to maxi-
mize that opportunity whenever it hap-
pened, Wright said. Thats kind of what I
envisioned, to be ready and to really be a
factor and help anyway I can once called
upon.
49ers Wright set for
Tampa Bay return

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA Terrelle Pryor remains com-
mitted to winning back his job as Oaklands
starting quarterback, even though the
Raiders only appear willing to use him in
spot situations the remainder of the season.
Talking extensively for the rst time in
more than three weeks, Pryor said he
remains supportive of coach Dennis Allens
decision to stick with undrafted rookie quar-
terback Matt McGloin as Oaklands starter
even though the knee injury that originally
sidelined Pryor has healed.
Thats coach Allens deal, Pryor said.
Whatever his decision is, thats what it
was. I could sit here and say I disagree and
this and that but at the end of the day hes
our leader and hes the one that has to make
those tough decisions. He made it and thats
what it is, you know?
Pryor has made only one brief appearance
since playing with a sprained medial collat-
eral ligament against the New York Giants
on Nov. 10, and it was a hotly debated one at
that.
He quarterbacked the offense for one series
in the rst half and drove the Raiders down
for a eld goal. Then Pryor went back to the
bench for the rest of the game, even though
offensive coordinator Greg Olson said earli-
er this week the move was meant to provide
a spark to the running game.
McGloin threw a costly interception on
his rst drive back, then Oakland had a punt
blocked for a touchdown on its ensuing pos-
session.
Pryor had already left the locker room
when reporters were allowed in after the
game, and he avoided interview requests ear-
lier this week before talking for nearly 10
minutes while standing in front of his lock-
er.
The 24-year-old said he regrets trying to
play through the knee injury, which he suf-
fered a week prior to the Giants game. He
also said he made a mistake in blaming his
performance against New York on the
injured knee.
The knee is healed now and has been for
about two weeks, according to Pryor.
Still, he spends the majority of his
Sundays on the sideline while McGloin runs
the offense.
I dont call it lost a job, Pryor said. I
got hurt, he came in a played well. I dont
call it (losing) my job. But, you know, did
he end up playing well and hes helping the
team? However you want to call it.
Pryor brushed off suggestions that the
move is a career setback. If anything, the
former Ohio State quarterback hopes to use
it as motivation.
Asked if he felt like he needed to keep
proving himself to the Raiders after they
brought in Matt Flynn to be the starter in
the offseason then handed the job to
McGloin, Pryor wasnt as clear with his
response.
You know, Im just gonna keep getting
better and thats all I can control, he said.
You guys can denitely write for me what
you want and what you guys think. I believe
if youre one of the greatest quarterbacks in
the NFL you gotta prove yourself every day.
You just gotta work your butt off and control
what you can control.
Allen declined to say when or if the
Raiders might use Pryor again. Aweek ago,
he said he wanted to see more of the young
quarterback, who was a third-round pick in
the 2011 supplemental draft the nal
draft selection made by late owner Al Davis.
Both quarterbacks have had limited suc-
cess this season, raising questions whether
the Raiders might look to free agency or the
2014 draft for help.

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

SAO PAULO Go to a sporting event in Brazil and you
will be mesmerized by fanatic crowds, nonstop chanting and
an incessant party atmosphere. Go to a sporting event in
Brazil and you will also be shocked by outdated venues,
widespread disorder and endless violence.
Theres nothing like being a sports fan in Brazil.
But its not easy being a sports fan in Brazil.
Brazilians are passionate about their soccer and sports
in general. Fans idolize their stars on the elds, courts and
tracks. Theyll cheer loudly at any sporting event theyll go
to, be it a World Cup match, a Formula One race or a mixed
martial arts ght. Theyll instill a party atmosphere whether
they are in a $500 million stadium or at the neighborhood
court for an amateur volleyball tournament.
And they do it despite challenges that fans in the United
States or Europe are not used to enduring. There are no decent
ticketing structures and no marked seats inside stadiums.
Rather, there are outdated venues providing very little com-
fort and an overall lack of safety inside and out.
Things are improving after the country was selected to
host the World Cup, but sporting events in Brazil are still far
from being well organized. Fortunately, the problems are
usually offset by boisterous crowds and vivid fans, with
games lled with people waving ags, cheering with chore-
ographed moves and chanting nonstop to the beat of drums
and samba songs.
Its an atmosphere that can easily impress.
American lmmaker Spike Lee will tell you that. He was at
the Maracana Stadium for the Brazilian Cup nal two weeks
ago, when the countrys most popular soccer club,
Flamengo, won the title.
I cant lie. Tonights match made our Super Bowls look
like the Little League World Series, he said on his
Instagram account. This place was crazy for the entire
game. My ears are still ringing and it ended over (an) hour
ago. I have never heard (a) crowd that loud in my life.
F1 drivers will say the fan enthusiasm in Brazil is what
makes it worth coming back to the country every year.
Drivers have been complaining about the lack of structure
at the Interlagos track in Sao Paulo for a long time, saying
its the worst among all venues they visit all year. But for
just as long, theyve also been saying how much they enjoy
racing in front of the Brazilian fans.
Sporting events a unique
fan experience in Brazil

OAKLAND James Harden had 26
points and nine assists, Chandler
Parsons scored 23 points and the
Houston Rockets held off the Golden
State Warriors 116-112 on Friday
night.
Dwight Howard finished with 18
points and 11 rebounds while spend-
ing most of the night in foul trouble
for the Rockets, who led by 13 points
late in the third quarter before the
Warriors briey rallied ahead in the
fourth. Patrick Beverley scored nine of
his 16 points in the nal period to
help Houston hand Golden State its
second loss in a week.
David Lee had 23 points and 10
rebounds, and Stephen Curry collected
20 points and nine assists for the
Warriors, who outrebounded the
Rockets 56-32. But Houston outshot
Golden State 49.4 to 47.8 percent and
made more big plays late.
The Warriors fell behind early again
in what has become a troubling trend
at home. Golden State came back from
decits of 27 and 18 points to win its
previous two games at Oracle Arena
over Toronto and Dallas, respectively.
This time, Houston had too much for
the Warriors to overcome.
Golden State used a 14-2 spurt at the
end of the third and start of the fourth
quarters, taking an 85-84 lead on
Marreese Speights layup with 8:09
remaining.
The teams traded baskets in a back-
and-fourth finish until the Rockets
regrouped to pull away.
Parsons made a reverse layup before
Howard converted a three-point play
after getting fouled by Lee, giving
Houston a 103-98 lead with 2:15 left.
Howard made all seven of his free
throws.
Curry came back with a layup, then
Beverley answered with a step-back
shot from 21 feet to silence the crowd.
Curry missed a contested 3-pointer,
and Beverley made a running shot to
put the game out of reach.
Harrison Barnes added 20 points and
12 rebounds, and Andrew Bogut had 10
points and 11 rebounds for the
Warriors, who committed 18
turnovers.
The Rockets had 15 turnovers.
Houston had handed Golden State its
most lopsided loss of the season last
week, a 105-83 rout in Texas.
The rematch out west turned out to be
much closer and far more physical.
The Warriors wanted a goaltending
call on Howard when he reached up and
blocked Draymond Greens layup in
the second quarter.
As Harden dribbled down court,
Green hit him in the neck with his
right hand. Harden tumbled to the
oor, and Green drew a agrant foul.
The sequence seemed to awaken the
announced sellout crowd of 19,596,
which had been booing Howard every
time he touched the ball anyway.
The Rockets remained in control,
though, going ahead 57-44.
Warriors has problems with Houston

ependable, trustworthy, cheerful,
prepared a few of the many
adjectives used to describe an
Eagle Scout. Travis Kwee, a senior at
Aragon High School, is no exception.
Dependable, for each
year, Travis delivers a
beautiful Boy Scout holi-
day wreath to adorn my
front door. Trustworthy,
Travis can always be
counted on to install this
holiday wreath in such a
fashion that the large,
red bow at its base makes
a 90 degree angle with my front steps.
Cheerful, since Travis has delivered my
holiday wreath consistently with a warm
smile. And of course, prepared: Not every
Boy Scout hangs holiday wreaths while
decked out in his complete uniform (My
mom requested he do so the rst year we
ordered one, and he has enthusiastically
obliged ever since).
When adding those four qualities togeth-
er, the sum is dedication. As a Boy Scout,
Aragon student and community member,
Travis has shown an incredible amount of
dedication to the world around him, which
makes it no surprise that earned the presti-
gious rank of Eagle Scout on Nov. 18, after
11 years of Boy Scouts.
Since meeting Travis on the co-ed Borel
Tennis Team in sixth grade, I have had the
privilege of forging a very special friend-
ship. In the process, I have also been able
to observe his distinctive qualities, many
of which stem from Boy Scout ideology,
and make him a truly special individual.
While leadership can often be dened as
taking charge, Travis embodies a slight-
ly different meaning of the word, one that
comes from dozens of camping trips and
Boy Scout activities. As he explained to me
recently, leadership does not mean that one
takes charge at every opportunity; instead,
he recognizes the balance between leading
and following. Every man leads at some
point, and every man follows at some
point.
This balance has been crucial during
troop camping trips. Each troop member

San Jose Repertory Theatre is bravely
presenting the world premiere of an ambi-
tious homegrown musical, The Snow
Queen.
Based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian
Andersen, this adaptation follows the
intrepid young Gerda (Eryn Murman) as she
tries to nd and then rescue her friend, Kai
(Tim Homsley), who has fallen into the
clutches of the evil Snow Queen (Jane
Ptsch).
During Gerdas long journey, she meets
some good and some bad people as well as
some good animals and owers.
Most actors in the energetic 10-person
ensemble play several roles, and some take
up instruments to play with the three-per-
son onstage band.
All of this takes place on a two-level set
with movable platforms designed by Erik
Flatmo. Lighting and artistic projections,
especially the lovely aurora borealis, by
David Lee Cuthbert, help to dene settings.
The show features a book by associate
artistic director Kirsten Brandt and artistic
director Rick Lombardo, who also directs
and choreographs the production.
The music is by Haddon Kime with lyrics
by all three. Musical direction is by Dolores
Duran-Cefalu, who conducts from the key-
board.
Kimes music is a mix of ballads and rock,
some of it sounding the same. Some of it

Underscoring deeply con-
icted characters, who are on
a mission to reconceive their
unsatisfying circumstances,
has become director David O.
Russells sweet spot. From his
raw 1996 lm, Flirting with
Disaster, to last years
acclaimed Silver Linings
Playbook, he effectively
unravels the disarray.
In the 1970s-set con artist
tale American Hustle,
Russells ability to depict an
audacious take on a bedlam
breakdown peaks, making this
his most entertaining jaunt
yet.
Loosely chronicling the FBI
investigation designed to
implicate government offi-
cials by way of bribery known
as the Abscam scandal,
Russell inserts this disclaimer
at the start: Some of this
actually happened. The note
sets the facetious tone for the
corruption smear six con-
gressmen and a senator really
went down that riddled
New York in the late 70s and
early 1980s.
Russell, who co-wrote the
script with Eric Singer (The
International), could have
devised an austere new-age
noir. But he avoided the melo-
drama, instead heightening
the ludicrous true-crime
thread to an outrageously sav-
age, comical and rapid
degree. The result is a sleek
revival of the 70s, complete
with oversized glasses, plaid

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
ANDERS ZORN: SWEDENS MAS-
TER PAINTER, AT THE LEGION OF
HONOR. The Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco present Anders Zorn: Swedens
Master Painter, bringing together 100 of
the artists oil paintings, watercolors,
etchings and sculptures at the Legion of
Honor in Lincoln Park. Zorn (18601920)
was one of the worlds most famous living
artists at the turn of the 20th century,
known for his virtuoso painting and print-
making techniques. Although he was a
hugely successful portrait painter in this
country depicting captains of industry,
members of high society, and three U.S.
presidents there has been only one
other major American retrospective in the
last century examining Zorns work.
During the 1880s and 1890s, Zorn lived
in London and Paris, where he became
acquainted with key figures of the Belle
poque, including James McNeill
Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Auguste
Rodin, as well as many of the French
Impressionists. Zorn was described by a
contemporary in Paris as at home here, as
he was everywhere, just like a fish in
water. Ambitious and entrepreneurial, he
used his connections to gain commissions
and befriend prominent collectors such as
Isabella Stewart Gardner, who would
become an important patron. Zorns paint-
ing, Isabella Stewart Gardner in Venice
(1894, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum,
Boston) appears in this exhibition.
Altogether, Zorn made seven trips to the
United States, where he was in great
demand as a painter of society portraits.
Like his friendly rival John Singer
Sargent, Zorn portrayed many of the most
significant figures of the Gilded Age,
including the industrialist Andrew
Carnegie and President William Taft, the
latter in a portrait that still hangs in the
White House today. A noted bon vivant,
Zorn traveled throughout the country, vis-
iting San Francisco during the winter of
1903-1904, where he declared the
nightlife particularly appealing from a
male point of view.
Trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of
Fine Arts, where his watercolors brought
him to the attention of King Oscar II, Zorn
would remain closely tied to his native
country throughout his career. In 1896,
Zorn moved back to his hometown of
Mora, where he painted scenes of the
Swedish countryside and subjects that cel-
ebrated the countrys folk culture. One
such work in this exhibition, Midsummer
Dance (1897, Nationalmuseum,
Stockholm), has long been considered one
of Swedens national treasures, and rarely
leaves the country.
James A. Ganz, curator of the Achenbach
Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine
Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the
coordinator of this project in San
Francisco, said: Zorns international suc-
cess ultimately bears witness to the uni-
versal language of his art. This exhibition
promises to be a revelation for those yet
to discover one of Swedens most accom-
plished and beloved artists.
The Legion of Honor Museum is located
in Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement
Street, San Francisco. Museum hours are
9:30 a.m.-5:15 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday.
For information about admission prices
and docent tours, visit
www.legionofhonor. org or call (415) 750-
3600. Anders Zorn: Swedens Master
Painter is on view through Feb. 2, 2014.
TAKE IN A CONCERT AT THE
LEGION. The Legion of Honors Skinner
Organ, one of the few indoor/outdoor
organs ever made, is built within the core
of the Legions structure. The huge array of
pipes, drums, cymbals and horns that
respond to the visible keyboard are hidden
away in the attic of the museum. The con-
trols of the organ are in the central hall of
the building, where concerts are given 4
p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.
First weekend of each month: David
Hegarty plays a pops concert, including
light classics and favorites from
Hollywood and Broadway.
Second weekend of each month: Robert
Gurney performs symphonic works by
popular and classical composers.
Third weekend of each month: John Karl
Hirten plays works of great classical com-
posers.
Fourth weekend of each month: Keith
Thompson performs a symphonic organ

and highlights from classical organ litera-
ture. Concerts are free after museum admis-

receives a delegated task and is also expect-
ed to assume responsibility in a certain
area. For example, one member may be in
charge of cooking while also being respon-
sible for helping to collect rewood. Each
member is leading, but also following.
Travis also practices this idea at Aragon.
While he is the leader of many on-campus
groups, he is still an incredibly effective
group member when he is not a leader.
Having worked with him on student council
for the class of 2014, I know what a differ-
ence his organized notes and records make
for our group. His willingness to listen to
other points of view and tackle any task
with ease makes him an asset to any team
in any capacity.
Just as the Boy Scout oath asks partici-
pants to stay mentally awake, Travis
approaches his interests with a deep, gen-
uine passion. While it can be easy to over-
commit for the sake of building an attrac-
tive resume, Travis stays true to what he
loves, especially baking, hiking and read-
ing. I have had the privilege of baking
with Travis several times, and one of my
favorite parts is watching him work intu-
itively. Just as Travis is a team player, he
understands the value of
community; through his
wonderful creations, he
reminds me of the simple
joys of being with
friends and sharing some-
thing delicious.
Travis other passions,
hiking and reading, can
often be seen together in
his photographs. Acou-
ple of months ago, after he returned from a
trip up Half Dome, he showed me two bril-
liant photos. The rst was of him doing our
assigned English reading while overlook-
ing Yosemite Valley and the second was of
him planking on top of the peak. While
planking on top of Half Dome is enough to
make me shiver, Travis exuberance is con-
tagious. Doing things that make you
happy ultimately makes others happy, too.
Now that Travis is an Eagle Scout, he is a

Honestly, I could not think of a better per-

cheerful and prepared.
Congratulations, Travis. I am immensely

seems derivative of Stephen Sondheims
Into the Woods.
The shows best received song was
Flying, which ends the rst act. Never
Give Up, which opens the second act, is
also noteworthy for Lombardos choreogra-
phy.
The show would benet from some cut-
ting. For example, the scene with the Old
Crow (Jason Hite) goes on too long, espe-
cially with his overacting.
I Want That, sung by Robber Girl
(Cindy Im), who captures Gerda, could be
eliminated.
Frances Nelson McSherry has designed
some fanciful costumes and outtted the
Snow Queen in a beautiful, glittering white
gown, but Gerdas outt seems drab. For that
matter, Murmans performance lacks the
stage presence and spark that would make
Gerda a stronger heroine.
When it comes to stage presence, Ptsch
has it in spades as the Snow Queen. Another
strong presence comes from Lee Ann Payne
in her multiple roles, especially as Gerdas
grandmother, the Witch and the Wise
Woman of the North.
Homsley is noteworthy as Kai. Rhett
Georges best moments come when he por-
trays the reindeer that helped Gerda.
This two-act show runs more than two
hours, including a 20-minute intermission.
Because it tends to be episodic and the dic-
tion could be better in some songs, its
sometimes hard to follow.
Thats where judicious pruning would be
helpful, as would a more detailed synopsis
in the program.
The Snow Queen will continue at San
Jose Repertory Theatre through Dec. 22. For
tickets and information call (408) 367-
7255 or visit www.sjrep.com.

suit jackets, plunging come-hither necklines
and a rapturous soundtrack.
Just about all of his characters are
painstakingly obsessed with getting ahead.
As a result, they cast morality and logic to
the side at the expense of love, stability and
a clean criminal record.
Some of the names from the real operation
have been changed here, as Irving Rosenfeld,
played by Christian Bale, is based on actual
con artist Mel Weinberg, who was forced to
conspire with the FBI to evade doing time.
The constantly effective Bale, as the beard-
ed Irving, is a clever swindler who owns a
slew of dry cleaners, sells both poached and
fake art and hooks people into pseudo loan
deals. But hes not exclusively heartless. His
conscience ensures he ideally wants a person
to feel satised, which makes him quite lov-
able.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Dolores G. Maldonado, aka Dolores
Gonzalez Maldonado, aka Dolores
Gonzales Maldonado, aka Dolores
Maldonado
Case Number: 123991
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Dolores G. Maldonado,
aka Dolores Gonzales Maldonado aka
Dolores Gonzalez Maldonado, aka Do-
lores Maldonado. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Teresa Beatrice
Thompson in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Teresa
Beatrice Thompson be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster 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 the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 14, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
