Agency studies 101 toll lanes

Millions sought for early phases of bringing carpool/toll lanes to well-used highway
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With commute times on Highway 101

getting
worse,
the
City/County
Association of Governments is moving forward with studying whether carpool and toll
lanes can solve the problem.
The C/CAG board is seeking $9.4 million
from the Metropolitan Transportation

Commission to conduct the preliminary

environmental and design work needed
before any potential construction can actually take place on the corridor.
C/CAG has also requested another $8.5
million from the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority for the environmental phase of the project.
The plan now is to bring the lanes south
from the Santa Clara County border north to

Interstate 380 in San Bruno.

The average peak commute speed on
Highway 101 is now about 25 mph, said
San Mateo County Supervisor Don Horsley.
Although a carpool lane, or high-occupancy vehicle lane, will increase speeds by
only about 3 mph during peak commute
times, its still better than doing nothing, Horsley said Monday.
Doing nothing, he said, will only make

A REASON TO GIVE THANKS

the problem worse.

The ultimate price tag for the project will
be up to $225 million, Horsley said.
Horsley is on the C/CAG board that unanimously approved the request in October.
Any money generated from a possible
toll lane should go toward funding public
transportation, he said.

A driving effort
to fight hunger
High schoolers support
charitable organizations
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Inspired partly by an attempt to recapture the glory of a

previous record-setting food drive, San Mateo High School
students are engaged in an attempt to help feed local families in need.
Students have collected roughly 47,000 pounds of canned
food since the drive began Friday, Nov. 13, and there is
hope to match the 300,000 pounds collected in 2005, when
the school set the Guinness world record for largest food
drive ever.
But with about a week left in the drive, students are shifting their focus from accepting food donations to monetary
contributions, which will be used to purchase more cans in
bulk than are typically donated by students or residents,
said Lauren Hayat, a junior at the school who is directing
the drive.
Hayat said though she is proud of the collective effort

Research group outlines toxic issues with certain toys

By Hannah Albarazi
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

California State Sen. Mark Leno and

Assemblyman David Chiu joined health care
professionals and a public interest research
group this week to urge parents to be on the
lookout for unsafe toys.
In the California Public Interest Research
Group (CALPIRG) Education Funds 30th
annual Trouble in Toyland report, released
this week, researchers determined that there
are still toys with potentially high levels of
toxic substances and other safety hazards
that remain on store selves despite laws
prohibiting their sale.
The
Consumer
Product
Safety
Commission, the federal agency responsible for recalling toys and other products
deemed dangerous, said it continues to see
toys with excessive levels of lead and
phthalates, as well as small parts.
Thankfully, these toys never reach the
hands of kids, states the CPSC website.
However, Corinne Santoro, a campaign
organizer with CALPIRG, discussed the
reports findings this week at the
University of California at San Francisco

Medical Center. She explained that while

the number of toy recalls is down since the
passage of the 2008 Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act, not all toys comply with the law and that there are still holes
in the toy safety net.
She noted that not all toys that are on
U.S. shelves are tested or analyzed by the
CPSC.
Santoro said CALPIRG identified 22
potentially hazardous toys on store shelves
this year, four that may pose toxic hazards,
two with magnets that may pose ingestion
hazards, five that may pose noise hazards
and 11 that may pose choking hazards.
The CPSC maintains that since 2008, the
U.S. government has stopped more than 17
million units of roughly 6,200 toys from
coming into the United States because they
violated applicable standards, and in fiscal
year 2015, CPSC issued only 25 toy recalls,
down from 172 in 2008.
Santoro said toys have gotten much safer
over the 30 years that CALPIRG has been
releasing the report and since the passage of
the 2008 Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act, but she warned that toys
such as the Slinky Jr., which CALPIRG pur-

chased at Target for $1 and had tested at a

CPSC-approved lab, revealed high levels
1,400 parts per million (ppm) of the
heavy metal chromium.
The law allows for toys to have 1,000
ppm of chromium.
According to the Center for Disease
Control, skin contact with chromium can
cause skin ulcers, allergic reactions consisting of severe redness and swelling of the
skin.
The CDCs website states: We do not
know if exposure to chromium will result in
birth defects or other developmental effects
in people. Some developmental effects have
been observed in animals exposed to
chromium.
Another toy, the Fun Bubbles jump rope,
which CALPIRG purchased from a Dollar
Tree store and also had analyzed at a CPSCapproved lab, had 10 times the legal limit
for phthalate DEHP, at 10,000 ppm.
According to the CDC, Phthalate DEHP
exposure has the potential to cause damage
at crucial stages of development, including
adverse development of the male reproductive system. It could also potentially be a
human carcinogen.

Big balloons, heavy security

for N.Y. Thanksgiving parade
By Karen Matthews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Americans paused Thursday

to celebrate their blessings despite terrorism
fears and racial tensions over fatal police
shootings across the country. A record number of police officers patrolled the Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York,
while St. Louis resumed its annual parade,
canceled last year amid protests over
Michael Browns death.
At the White House, President Barack
Obama spent a quiet holiday with a traditional meal. Heres a look at how other
Americans celebrated:

TIGHT SECURITY FOR

SNOOPY AND SPONGEBOB
Spectators at the annual Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York noted
a stepped-up police presence, with officers
perched on buildings like Radio City Music
Hall and watching from helicopters hovering
overhead.
Its a little scary, but at least its keeping
us safe, Kim Miller, of Boston, said of the
heavy security. Were having fun.
City officials have said there are no
known, credible threats against New York
following the deadly attacks in Paris and a
video purportedly produced by the Islamic
State group that contained footage of Times
Square. But Police Commissioner William
Bratton said more than 2,500 officers would
nevertheless be stationed along the parade

route for the Thanksgiving festivities the

largest number of officers the department has
ever assigned to the event.
The parade, in its 89th year, included
marching bands and floats along with Hello
Kitty, Snoopy, SpongeBob SquarePants and
other giant balloons.
Pamela and Tom Popp of Ridgefield, New
Jersey, said theyve come to the parade every
year for at least 20 years.
Its just a very special part of our holiday, Pamela Popp said. Were very proud of
New York City and this wonderful tradition.
Her husband noted the right security. I see
the cops on top of Radio City, Tom Popp
said. Never saw that before.

PARADE RETURNS IN ST. LOUIS

In St. Louis, a modest-sized crowd gathered
on an unseasonably warm morning for the
annual Thanksgiving Day parade that was
canceled last year amid protests and widespread arrests over the death of Brown, an
unarmed black 18-year-old, and other police
shootings.
The 2014 parade was supposed to be held
several days after a St. Louis County grand
jury decided to not indict former Ferguson
police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white,
in Browns death.

CHICAGO PROTESTERS PAUSE

After two days of demonstrations following the release of a video that shows a white
Chicago police officer shooting and killing
black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014,

protest organizers said there were no marches planned for Thanksgiving. Instead, they
said they were preparing for a march through
the citys famed shopping district, the
Magnificent Mile, on Friday.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, KALE TWO WAYS

Obama says Thanksgiving is a day for
food, football and hoping the turkey didnt
turn out too dry.
Even if the White Houses thyme-roasted
bird didnt turn out to be the moistest, the
first familys menu boasted more than
enough other choices to fill the stomach.

There was honey-baked ham with apricotmustard glaze, and prime rib and creamed
horseradish, according to the White House.
And two kinds of stuffing: cornbread with
chorizo and roasted peppers oyster.
As for the veggies, the Obamas could
enjoy some braised winter greens collards, kale, and turnip greens in addition
to kale Caesar salad. Green bean casserole,
too.
Plus, the macaroni and cheese, sweet potato gratin and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes
As for dessert, it seemed Pie Day came
early: banana cream, coconut cream, pumpkin, apple, pecan and cherry.

Teen killed by Chicago officer

had broken, troubled family
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO A black teenager shot 16

times by a white Chicago police officer was
a ward of the state when he died, having
spent years being shuttled between different relatives homes and foster care from
the time he was 3.
Laquan McDonald, whose name demonstrators have shouted for two days and will
shout again during a planned rally to disrupt
the citys famed Magnificent Mile shopping corridor Friday, lived a troubled, disadvantaged life and had at least one previous
brush with the law.
School officials and the McDonald family
lawyer say there were signs Laquan was trying to get his life in order, though prosecutors say he had drugs in his system and was
burglarizing cars on Oct. 20, 2014 the
night a squad-car video captured officer
Jason Van Dyke shooting him.
It takes a while to get a life back on
track, said Thomas Gattuso, the principal
at the alternative high school that
McDonald was attending. With Laquan, we
unfortunately never got to finish his
story.
Protesters and civil rights activists are
demanding more investigations and police
reform after Van Dyke was charged with
first-degree murder this week. There have
been two nights of small, peaceful demonstrations, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson and

others have called for a massive march on

Black Friday along Michigan Avenue, a
swank downtown boulevard thats normally
packed with post-Thanksgiving shoppers.
McDonalds family has appealed for
calm, and his mother at least initially
opposed the public release of the graphic
dashcam video showing his death, attorney
Michael Robbins said.
Dont resort to violence in Laquans
name, a family statement said Monday.
The family, who received a $5 million
settlement from the city months before Van
Dyke was charged even without filing a lawsuit, has declined to speak with the media.
Robbins would not comment on the familys history other than acknowledging it
was broken up. He said McDonald grew up
without his father involved in his life.
McDonalds mother had been making
efforts to regain custody of her son before
he was killed and had been granted permission to take a younger sister back into her
home, Robbins said.
The mother was pursuing a petition to
reunite the family, he added.
McDonald spent most of his 17 years as a
ward of the state. According to Illinois
Department of Children and Family
Services records, he was taken from his
mother at age 3 in 2000 because the agency
had deemed that his mother didnt provide
him with proper supervision. He was placed
in a foster home.

Donald Trump speaks to supporters at an event at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Donald Trump called out for

appearing to mock disability
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Donald Trump denied

Thursday that he mocked a reporter with a
disability in a South Carolina speech,
despite appearing to imitate mannerisms of
the poor guy and make fun of him.
A statement posted on his Twitter account
said Trump doesnt know the reporter personally or what he looks like and was only
mocking his journalism. The New York
Times reporter, Serge Kovaleski, should
stop using his disability to grandstand, the
statement quoted Trump as saying.
Kovaleski has a congenital condition that
affects joint movement. In a speech Tuesday
in South Carolina, Trump said, Poor guy,
you oughta see this guy, and gestured in a

jerky fashion as if imitating Kovaleskis

movements.
Trump was challenging recollections by
Kovaleski and many others about the 9/11
aftermath. Trump has made unsubstantiated
claims that thousands of Muslims in New
Jersey were seen celebrating the attacks.
In 2001, Kovaleski, then with The
Washington Post, and another Post journalist wrote a week after the 9/11 attacks about
authorities in New Jersey detaining and
questioning a number of people who were
allegedly seen celebrating the attacks. The
story did not suggest thousands were celebrating, as Trump claimed, and a story then
by The Star-Ledger in Newark, New Jersey,
said the reports of such celebrations by
Muslims proved unfounded.

his Friday, Nov. 27, a tradition more

than four decades strong will welcome the holiday season. If youre
in South San Francisco, be sure to watch the
Sign Hill Tree light up at 5:30 p.m. It will
shine brightly until midnight every night
through the holidays.
The Sign Hill Tree, now a holiday icon
for the city, was rst installed in 1969. No
one is sure whose idea it was to annually
light the 800-bulb tree, creating a glow

Russia, France agree to tighten cooperation against IS

By Sylvie Corbet
and Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW The presidents of France and

Russia agreed Thursday to tighten cooperation in the fight against the Islamic State
group, although they remained at odds over
their approach toward Syrian President
Bashar Assad.
IS has claimed responsibility for deadly
attacks against both of the countries citizens in recent weeks: Nov. 13 shootings
and suicide bombings in Paris which killed
130 people, and the Oct. 31 bombing of a
Russian passenger jet over Egypts Sinai
Peninsula that claimed 224 lives.
French President Francois Hollande has
been on a diplomatic drive since the Paris
attacks to increase cooperation in tackling
IS, which holds swathes of territory in both
Syria and Iraq. He has met this week with
President Barak Obama, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister
Matteo Renzi before flying to Moscow on
Thursday for talks with Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
Hollande and Putin agreed on increasing
intelligence sharing, intensifying their
airstrikes against IS in Syria and cooperating on selecting targets two days after
Turkey downed a Russian warplane near the
Syrian border.
We agreed on a very important issue: To
strike the terrorists only, Daesh and the
jihadi groups only, and not to strike the
forces and the groups that are fighting
against the terrorists, Hollande said after
the meeting, referring to IS by its Arabic

Russia has been Assads staunchest ally,

and has come under criticism for targeting
some rebel groups who are fighting against
both IS and Assad in Syrias multifaceted
and complex civil war.
Obama, after meeting with Hollande, had
said Russian cooperation in the fight
against IS would be enormously helpful.
The U.S. has also insisted that a political
transition in Syria must lead to Assads
departure.
We view the U.S.-led coalition with
respect and stand ready to cooperate with
it, Putin said. We believe that we would
better create a single, united coalition as it
would be easier, simpler and more efficient
to coordinate our work that way.
However, he said, if our partners arent
ready for that, OK, we are ready to work in a
different format that is acceptable to our
partners. We are ready to cooperate with the
U.S.-led coalition.
Last week, Hollande called for the U.S.
and Russia to set aside their policy divisions over Syria and fight this terrorist
army in a broad, single coalition. But his
office acknowledges that coordination
sounds like a far more realistic goal.

Turkey-Russia spat
over shot Russian
warplane escalates

Bittersweet Thanksgiving
in Paris after deadly attacks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The turkey will be

dished up with heaps of sadness for
thousands of American expatriates
celebrating Thanksgiving in Paris
following the citys worst attacks
in recent memory.
For some its an opportunity for
a return to relative peace, following the Nov. 13 attacks on a rock
concert, cafes and the national sta-

dium that left 130 dead and traumatized the nation.

Its definitely a great time to
get together with friends. We have
to return to some level of normalcy, said teaching assistant Nadia
Alhadi from Detroit, who
acknowledged
that
her
Thanksgiving will be bittersweet.
She was dashing to a local
American-run shop to stock up on
last-minute supplies of pumpkin

puree and chicken broth Thursday

afternoon.
Its absolutely terrible what
happened. Theres a lot to be
thankful about this year. Number
one: that Im safe because I was
near the Bataclan when it happened, she said, referring to the
concert hall where at least 89 people were killed when three gunmen
opened fire during a concert by
Eagles of Death Metal.

ANKARA, Turkey A tug-ofwar over a Russian warplane

downed by a Turkish fighter jet at
the border with Syria escalated
Thursday, with Moscow drafting a
slew of economic sanctions
against Turkey and the Turkish
president defiantly declaring that
his military will shoot down any
new intruder.
The spat reflected a clash of
ambitions of two strongman leaders, neither of whom appeared
willing to back down and search
for a compromise.
Turkey shot down the Russian
Su-24 military jet on Tuesday,
insisting it had violated its airspace despite repeated warnings.
The incident marked the first time
in half a century that a NATO member shot down a Russian plane,
raising the threat of a military
confrontation
between
the
alliance and Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin denounced the Turkish action
as a treacherous stab in the back,
and insisted that the plane was
downed over Syrian territory in
violation of international law.
Until that moment, we havent
heard a clear apology from

Turkeys top political leadership,

or an offer to compensate for the
damage or a promise to punish the
criminals, he said at the Kremlin
while receiving credentials from
several ambassadors. It gives an
impression that the Turkish leadership is deliberately driving
Russian-Turkish relations into a
deadlock, and we regret that.
But Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan was in no mood to
apologize, and warned that Ankara
would act in the same way in the
event of another intrusion.
Faced with the same violation
today, Turkey would give the same
response, Erdogan said. Its the
country that carried out the violation which should question itself
and take measures to prevent it
from happening again, not the
country that was subjected to a
violation.
Erdogan said Turkey had not
specifically targeted Russia when
it shot down the plane, saying it
was an automatic response in
line with its rules of engagement.
He spoke on a more conciliatory
note in separate comments on
France 24. Asked if Turkey would
still have targeted the plane if it
positively knew it was Russian,
he said: If we had determined it,
the warnings would have been different.

Holiday shoppers
get a head start
on Thanksgiving
By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Black Friday

used to kick off the holiday shopping season, but now that day has
taken a backseat to Thanksgiving
Day. Still, retailers have settled
into times that dont interfere with
the turkey feast.
After opening earlier and earlier
on the holiday, this year, most of
the more than a dozen major retailers like Macys, Target and Kohls
are sticking with their 5 p.m. or 6
p.m. Thanksgiving openings.
One big exception: J. C.
Penney, which is opening two
hours earlier at 3 p.m. on the holiday. Staples has reversed course
and will close on the holiday. And
sporting goods chain REI, which
was
always
closed
on
Thanksgiving, is bowing out of
Black Friday too.
Still, stores arent waiting
around to push discounts on holiday goods until the official weekend. Increasingly, theyve been

discounting holiday merchandise

earlier in the month. In fact,
according to the National Retail
Federation, the nations largest
retail trade group, nearly 60 percent of holiday shoppers have
already started holiday shopping
as of Nov. 10.
That should take a bite out of the
sales this weekend, though Black
Friday should still rank either No.
1 or No. 2 in sales for the year.
The National Retail Federation
estimates about 135. 8 million
people will shop this weekend,
compared with 133.7 million last
year. The trade group expects
about 30 million to shop on
Thanksgiving, compared with
99.7 million on Black Friday.
Overall, the group expects a 3.7
percent increase to $630.5 billion
though the growth is much higher
than the 10-year average of 2.5
percent.
But grabbing those dollars will
be tough. While overall economy
has been improving, shoppers
remain
tight-fisted.

Unemployment rate has settled
into a healthy 5 percent rate, but
shoppers still grapple with stagnant wages that are not keeping
pace with rising costs for things
like rent. Stores are also contending with an increasing shift to
researching and buying online.
In response, Wal-Mart and
Target will be making all of the
deals available later in the stores
online Thanksgiving morning.

New this year at Target: Shoppers

who spend $75 or more on Friday
will receive a 20 percent discount
to use toward a future purchase on
any day between Dec. 4 and Dec.
13.
Saks Fifth Avenue pulled up its
Black Friday sale to Wednesday to
get a jump start to the holiday
shopping season. Gerald Storch,
CEO of Hudsons Bay Company,
which also operates Lord &

Taylor, said the deals at the stores

are even more aggressive than last
year and include a $75 gift card
with a $150 in-store purchase.
Storch told the Associated Press
that the luxury chain considered,
and then rejected, opening on
Thanksgiving, but it still wanted
to do something special for its
customers.
Its a calm alternative to Black
Friday, said Storch, referring to
the Wednesday store sale.

As Yahoo Turns: Whats next in its decade-long soap opera?

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo has

starred in a decade-long soap opera
during which its run through five
CEOs, fended off a hostile
takeover bid from Microsoft and
sparred (often unsuccessfully)
with activist investors who muscled their way on to the Internet
companys board.
Expect more drama next year.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer wants
to buy more time for the turnaround she promised after the
Sunnyvale, California, company
lured her away from Google threeand-half years ago.

Heres what Yahoos next chapter could look like based on what
we know now:

THE CONQUERING HEROINE

This is, of course, the story line
that Mayer, 40, has envisioned all
along. She has pledged that
Yahoos revenue will eventually
increase at the same clip as overall
digital advertising revenue, something that the company hasnt
come close to doing yet.
It still might happen if Mayers
big bets on mobile applications
and online video pay off and
Yahoo gets the all-clear from the
feds to use Googles search tech-

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and
should not be based solely upon advertisement

nology to attract more traffic and

sell more advertising. Mayer also
has indicated that Yahoo is working on products that could draw
people to use its services more frequently. Some unsubstantiated
reports suggest that Yahoo plans
to unveil a digital assistant to
compete against Apples Siri,
Google Now and Microsofts
Cortana.

THE BIG PURGE

Many investors believe Yahoo
remains bloated, given that its net
revenue has fallen from $5.4 billion in 2008 to a projected $4 billion this year.

In an apparent attempt to placate Wall Street, Mayer plans to

jettison an unspecified number of
services that have either been losing money or are barely money.
Depending on how deep she cuts,
hundreds of Yahoo workers could
lose their jobs. Yahoo ended
September with 11,500 employees and contractors, down 32 percent from when Mayer was hired in
July 2012.

TAXING SITUATION
Yahoo is planning to spin off
its $30 billion stake in Chinese ecommerce bazaar Alibaba Group
into a separate company called

Aabaco either next month or in

January. The maneuver is designed
to dodge a huge tax bill Yahoo
would face if it sold the Alibaba
stock itself, but it might not
work. The IRS has refused to clear
the plan in advance for a tax
exemption.
Based on preliminary feedback
from tax lawyers, Yahoo believes
the spin-off will quality for taxfree status. That opinion still
doesnt guarantee that Yahoo
wont be saddled with a tax bill of
more than $10 billion. The tax
uncertainty hanging over the
Alibaba spin-off is among the reasons that Yahoos stock has fallen
35 percent so far this year.

Stanford falls to undefeated No. 8 Villanova

By Larry Fleisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Villanova struggled to

score and rebound on Thursday night.
The Wildcats defense was good enough to
still get a win.
No. 8 Villanova compensated for offensive
and rebounding struggles by forcing 23
turnovers in a 59-45 victory over Stanford in
the semifinals of the NIT Season Tipoff.
We played pretty good defense but couldnt rebound with them, Villanova coach Jay
Wright said. It was one of those nights we
couldnt make shots but hung in there defensively. Their rebounding was almost a differ-

ence maker but thank God

it wasnt.
The Wildcats (5-0)
advanced to face Georgia
Tech in the championship
game Friday.
Villanova won despite
shooting 30.6 percent
and getting outrebounded
Dorian Pickens by a 55-35 margin
against an opponent
starting three players 6-foot-8 or taller. The
Wildcats started one player taller than 6-6 but
compensated for the size differential by holding Stanford to 26 percent from the floor.
I didnt think it would be this ugly on the

boards but if we could have made a couple of

shots it might not have been as ugly,
Wright said. But I was proud the guys really
grinded defensively.
Freshman Jalen Brunson was one of few
Wildcats not to struggle offensively and
scored a career-high 18 points. Josh Hart
added 10 points but was 4-for-13 shooting and
combined with Ryan Arcidiacono to shoot 6
of 24, including 1 of 15 from 3-point range.
I was doing what I always do, Brunson
said. I try to play aggressive all the time. I
saw they were backing off me a little bit so
there is time for me to shoot and time for me
to make other plays.
Leading scorer Marcus Allen had 12 points

but was 3 for 12 for Stanford (2-3). Dorian

Pickens added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Stanford lost its third straight by double
digits and will face Arkansas in the consolation game. The Cardinal missed their first 15
shots of the game and their first eight
attempts of the second half while falling
behind by 16.
Stanford was within seven on a basket by
Reid Travis with 6:34 remaining, but
Villanova scored the next six points and finished the game with a 13-6 run.
Theyre a very good defensive team,
theyre active and they made a lot of plays,

The goal of every high school football

coach is to be practicing on Thanksgiving
Day. That means their team has won a playoff game and are preparing for the next
round.
There are still three San Mateo County
teams that will head out to the field Thursday
practice: Sacred Heart Prep, Hillsdale and
Half Moon Bay.
We have a lot to give thanks for, said
Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi. Its not
[something] a lot of teams get to do.
The bottom line is this: this is the semifinal round. All the teams remaining in the
Central Coast Section playoffs are good and
nothing that happens this weekend should
really be considered upsets.
The following is a look a the Peninsula
Athletic League teams that still have a shot
at bringing home a CCS title.

Open Division III

No. 3 Sacred Heart Prep (8-3)
at No. 2 Monte Vista Christian (10-1), 7 p.m.
The mantra for Sacred Heart Prep football
coach Pete Lavorato is a simple one: play
well enough to play one more game.
So despite people thinking the sky was
falling as the Gators lost three regular-season games this season, they still find themselves playing one more game.
I think some people overlooked us this
year, Lavorato said. We feel like we have a
good team this year. I dont think were quite
as talented as we were last year. Weve gotten a
lot better since the beginning of the season.
This time, the challenge ratchets up
another notch as Sacred Heart Prep will head
into a semifinal game as the underdog as the
sixth-seeded Gators will be on the road at
No. 2 Monte Vista Christian Friday night in
Watsonville.

GREEN BAY, Wis. Brett Favre had one

more memorable moment with the Green Bay
Packers.
With cold, driving rain drenching Lambeau
Field, the Packers unveiled Favres name and
retired No. 4 on the stadium facade Thursday
night at halftime against the Chicago Bears.
Favre thanked his former teammates and fans as
the crowd roared its
approval.
His family was on hand
as well.
They get to see what
its like playing at
Lambeau when its cold,
windy
and raining.
Brett Favre
Theres nothing like it. I
thank them so much for being so supportive
all these years, Favre said. And most
importantly, I thank you.
There was one more special welcome for
Favre when Hall of Famer Bart Starr was driven to the middle of the field on a cart. The 81year-old Starr is recovering from two strokes
and a heart attack.
The two former quarterbacks embraced.
Later, Favre exchanged a handshake and hug
with current quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who
replaced Favre as the starter in 2008.
The long-anticipated ceremony is the latest step in a lengthy reconciliation between
the Packers and Favre, the three-time MVP
helped revive a struggling franchise when he
arrived in 1992.
The Packers won one Super Bowl and went
to another during Favres 16 seasons, but the
sides had a messy divorce with Favre waffling about retirement.
The great thaw started in July, when Favre
returned to Lambeau for an emotional ceremony to retire his jersey and to be inducted
into the Packers Hall of Fame.
It was one of those moments you know
that, much like today, much like tonight,
you want to soak it all in. But then when its
over, it still doesnt seem real, Favre said at
a charity event in Green Bay earlier
Thursday.

and perfectly lofted the ball where only Calvin
Johnson could catch it.
Johnson leaped to come down with the 25yard pass in the end zone for the first of a
career-high matching three touchdown receptions, Stafford tied a personal best with five
scoring passes, and the surging Detroit Lions
kept the Philadelphia Eagles reeling with a
45-14 rout Thursday.
When were on point like that, its hard to

The Lions (4-7) have won three straight

Detroit ran for 108 yards, tied a season high

field goal.
Thats as complete a victory as weve had
since weve been here, said Jim Caldwell,
who won 11 games last season in his first year
as Detroits coach.
The Eagles (4-7) have lost three straight.
They have allowed at least 45 points in two
straight games in one season for the first
time, according to STATS, and have lost by at
least 28 points in consecutive games for the
first time since 1971.

ing to STATS, to help the Lions lead 24-7. He
finished 27 of 38 for 337 yards and threw five
TDs for the fourth time in his career.
Our quarterback is comfortable in this
offense, Caldwell said. And when that happens, it gives you opportunities for your playmakers to do things.
Johnson had eight catches for 93 yards and
three TDs, matching his career high set in
2010.
After not throwing to Johnson much early
in the game, Stafford started connecting with
the star receiver. The Eagles couldnt do much
about it, especially when starting cornerback
Nolan Carroll left in the second quarter with a
broken right ankle and was replaced by rookie
Eric Rowe.
At the end of the first quarter, I realized we
hadnt gotten 81 the ball yet, so we dialed up
some plays for him, Stafford said. We started getting aggressive, and that opened up a

couple routes for him.

The quarterback seems to be clicking with
plays called by offensive coordinator Jim Bob
Cooter, who replaced the fired Joe Lombardi a
month ago.
I love that hes so aggressive, Stafford
said. That rubs off on the players because it is
fun when hes giving you chances to make big
plays.
Taking advantage of Johnson in one-onone coverage, Stafford threw 4- and 3-yard TD
passes to Johnson in the third quarter.
Were attacking the defense, and not playing defense on offense, Johnson said.
Stafford started the scoring barrage with an
8-yard pass to Theo Riddick, who made a sharp
move to the inside to get away from linebacker Mychal Kendricks late in the opening
quarter. Stafford threw a go-ahead, 2-yard TD
midway through the second quarter to Golden
Tate, who lined up as a fullback and went to the
flat where he caught the ball and stopped, letting safety Walter Thurmond run past him.
Mark Sanchez started in place of Sam
Bradford, who was inactive with a shoulder
injury. Sanchez completed 19 of 27 passes
for 199 yards and two TDs. He connected
with Brent Celek early in the second quarter
on a 2-yard pass to help Philadelphia pull
into a 7-all tie and with Jordan Matthews for
a relatively meaningless, 24-yard TD late in
the game.
Sanchez was able to connect with receivers
when he had time, but that didnt happen very
often.
Detroits Ezekiel Ansah had a career-high 3
1/2 sacks, one of which forced a fumble by
Sanchez that the defensive end recovered.

A few minutes later, a somber Tony Romo

because of a collarbone injury.

The Panthers are 11-0

The 35-year-old with a surgically repaired
back said he would have to wait for more test
results Friday before knowing if he broke
the collarbone again. He was injured in
Week 2 at Philadelphia and said the injury
had a similar feel this time.

Romo returning this season, and said he

Vonn, Shiffrin may be in for robust rivalry this season

By Pat Graham

Phi Slama Jama
coach dead at 93
Friday Nov. 27, 2015

By Kristie Rieken
ASPEN, Colo. Over hot chocolate,
Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin recently
had their first real heart-to-heart chat.
Among the topics discussed in a New
Zealand coffee shop were family, friends,
girl stuff as Shiffrin put it and, of
course, ski racing.
Throughout the season, these two
American teammates could very well be at
the top of the overall standings. Might
come down to the very end, too.
No bitterness, they maintain. No nastiness, either. Just a robust rivalry.
How will it be going head-to-head? Its
exciting to find out, said the 20-year-old
Shiffrin, who will be a big favorite in a
World Cup giant slalom race Friday on home
snow, along with two slalom events over the
weekend. If we were to go head-to-head, I
have a feeling it could be one of those things
where shes not going to give it to me and
Im sure as heck not going to give it to her.
For years, Shiffrin was touted as the next
Vonn. Well, Shiffrins fulfilled those lofty
expectations, capturing the slalom title at
the 2013 world championships, Olympic
gold in the slalom at the 2014 Sochi Games
and then defending her world title last
February in Beaver Creek, Colorado.
This season, Shiffrin ventures into
Vonns territory by adding some speed
events, beginning next week with a super-G
at Lake Louise, Alberta.
Among those who believe Shiffrins ready
for the jump to speed is Vonn.
Shes just a great skier and shes obviously extremely talented, said the 31-yearold Vonn, whos healed from breaking her
left ankle three months ago in training and
a bite on her right thumb that required
stitches after breaking up a fight between
her dogs. She has such a great touch on
snow and such a solid technique.
Im sure shes going to do phenomenal

in speed as well.
High praise from Vonn, the four-time
overall champion. Then again, she doesnt
see this rivalry as anything but healthy.
Being a decade older than Shiffrin, Vonn
wants to be a resource for her young compatriot.
We both have a lot of respect for each
other, said Vonn, the all-time winningest
female World Cup racer who will compete
only in the GS this weekend. Well see how
the season shapes up. It would be really
great for ski racing if two Americans were
fighting for the overall.
The paths of Shiffrin and Vonn havent
crossed all that much over the years. Thats
partly because of Vonns serious knee injury,
which kept her out of the Sochi Games. And
when Vonn has been back, theyve traveled
in different circles since Shiffrin works so
closely with the technical side.
Thats why Vonn invited Shiffrin out for
cocoa during training over the summer. A
chance to get better acquainted.
Vonns take on their meeting: It was a really

nice conversation. It wasnt anything in particular. Just kind of a nice, easy conversation.
Shiffrin was flattered a skier shes long
considered one of her idols wanted to sit
down with her.
Lindseys made more sacrifices than anybody else in order to get the job done,
Shiffrin said. I respect that a lot.
With defending overall champion Anna
Fenninger sidelined by a knee injury and
Tina Maze taking a break, that opens the
door for a Vonn-Shiffrin showdown.
Shiffrin finished second in the giant
slalom last month in Soelden, Austria.
Valuable points, especially with Vonn skipping it to give her ankle more time to mend.
Shiffrin believes she can be on the podium in
all three races this weekend. No American has
finished in the top three during a World Cup race
at Aspen since Julia Mancuso was third in
2011. Whats more, no American has won at
this venue since Tamara McKinney in 1981.
The podium is definitely a possibility.
Maybe more than a possibility, Shiffrin
said. But things have to line up.

HOUSTON Former University of

Houston mens basketball coach Guy V.
Lewis, best known for leading the Phi Slama
Jama teams of the 1980s, has died. He was 93.
He died at a retirement
facility in Kyle, Texas, on
Thanksgiving morning
surrounded by family, the
school said Thursday.
Lewis coached the
Cougars for 30 years. He
guided Houston to backto-back NCAA title games
Guy V. Lewis in 1983 and 84 but never
won the national championship, losing to N.C. State in the 1983 final
on Lorenzo Charles last-second shot, one of
the NCAA Tournaments greatest upsets and
most memorable plays.
It feels awful, Lewis said after that game.
Ive never lost a game that didnt feel that
way, but this one was terrible.
Lewis, who helped lead the integration of
college basketball in the South by recruiting
Elvin Hayes and Don Chaney to Houston, was
inducted into the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013.
Known for plaid jackets and wringing his
hands with a red polka-dot towel during
games, Lewis compiled a 592-279 record at
Houston, guiding the Cougars to 27 consecutive winning seasons from 1959-85. He was
honored as the national coach of the year
twice (1968 and 83) and led Houston to 14
NCAA Tournaments and five Final Fours.
Lewis had mostly avoided the spotlight
since retiring in 1986. He suffered a stroke in
February 2002 and had used a wheelchair in
recent years.

Continued from page 11
Gators in the playoffs, a team that has won
three straight CCS titles. They are scoring an
average of 40 points per game and allowing
24 and havent allowed more than three
touchdowns in any of their last three games.
The Gators have one of the most potent
offenses in CCS. They average 235 yards
rushing per game, led by senior Lapitu
Mahoni and junior Isoa Moimoi. Three-year
starting quarterback Mason Randall is averaging just shy of 200 yards passing per
contest. Tight end Andrew Daschbach, who
will play baseball at Stanford next school
year, has been a beast the last half of the
season. Over his last four games, hes
caught 23 passes for 520 yards and five
touchdowns.
Monte Vista Christian will be facing its
second PAL playoff opponent in as many
weeks, rallying from a 21-7 deficit to beat
No. 7 Terra Nova 34-27 last week. The
Mustangs were led by quarterback Ryan
Spohn, who threw for 212 yards and a score.
Shawn Hopkins paced the ground attack
with a 141-yards, three-touchdown night.

Division IV
No. 4 Silver Creek (10-1)
at No. 1 Hillsdale (10-1), 1 p.m.
After years of failure, the Hillsdale football team, under coach Mike Parodi, has
methodically moved up the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues football ladder over the
last six seasons.
The Knights went a combined 5-15 in
2011 and 2012, before winning the Lake
Division title in 2013 with a 7-4 record.
Last year, Hillsdale was 6-4.
Silver Creek has mirrored Hillsdales rise.
The Raiders were mired in the West Valley
Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic
League the lowest of the three-tier
league. In 2011, they went 8-2 to move up
to the Santa Teresa Division, the BVALs
version of the PALs Ocean Division. 2012
and 2013 were rebuilding years, as Silver

DAILY JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Hillsdale quarterback Brett Wetteland has

thrown for 19 touchdowns against just two
interceptions this season.
Creek went a combined 8-13. But last season, the Raiders hit their stride and went 83 before this seasons 11-1 mark.
The 11 wins are the most the Raiders have
had since going 10-2 in 2002.
The comparisons continue on the field.
Both teams have game-breaking backs
Hillsdale features 1,800-yard rusher Camron
Taylor, while Silver Creek counters with
2,000-yard rusher Dontye James.
Taylor rushed for 162 yards and had touchdown runs of 40 and 54 yards in last weeks
35-20 win over Westmont. He now has 28
scores on the season.
James has rushed for 2,218 yards this season, to be exact along with 19 touchdowns. In the Raiders first-round game
against Soledad, a 22-16 victory, James
rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
If Hillsdale can slow down James, the
Knights have a very good chance of advancing
to their first CCS championship game since
winning the 1991 Division II North title.
Were going against the leading rusher in
the entire section, said Hillsdale coach
Mike Parodi. Thats a fun challenge.

Eleven other teams have had the same

idea, but they failed. James has rushed for
150 yards or more nine times this season
and averaged 207 yards rushing per game.
As a team, Silver Creek is averaging 288
yards on the ground per game.
The difference could be Hillsdales passing game. Senior quarterback Brett
Wetteland completed only three passes last
week, but threw a pair of touchdowns: a 74yarder to Isaiah Cozzolino and a a 15-yard
scoring strike to Joey Sabel.
Wetteland has thrown for more than 1,500
yards and 19 touchdowns, against just two
interceptions this year.
Silver Creek, on the other hand, has
thrown for less than 800 yards this season.
That number may be misleading, however.
Their quarterback is pretty good on the
run. Its a typical run-heavy team, but they
do a very good job of throwing the ball.
They do a good job with play action, do
things with the quick game, Parodi said.
Theyre where they are because theyre
good. Were where we are because were
good. Its what playoff football is supposed
to look like.

Division V
No. 3 Carmel (8-3)
at No. 2 Half Moon Bay (9-2), 7 p.m.
With seemingly every high school team
running some version of the spread offense,
Half Moon Bays run-based offense must
seem like a throwback.
Relying on offensive sets that go back to
the beginning of the game the scrum and
the veer Half Moon Bay presents challenges most teams simply do not encounter
in this day and age. Both variations rely on
misdirection and precise execution to be
successful and the Cougars have done that
more often than not.
The Cougars left the collective heads
spinning of the San Lorenzo Valley team
last week in the first round, 47-34. Half
Moon Bay rushed for nearly 400 yards and
six touchdowns. All three of the Cougars
main running backs Anthony Demartini,
Chase Hofmann and Matt Spigelman all
went over the 100-yard mark last week.
Spigelman led the way with 181 and two

touchdowns on 19 carries. Demartini added
three scores and 119 rushing yards, while
Hofman found the end zone once and went
for 103 on 14 carries.
Spigelmans performance put him over
the 1,000-yard mark on the season.
When Carmel takes the field, the Cougars
will be facing a near mirror image of themselves. The Padres score in bunches and are
stingy on defense, just like Half Moon Bay.
Carmel is averaging just under 40 points per
game this season. Defensively, the Padres
were nails in Mission Trail Athletic
League play, where they allowed less than
20 points per contest.
Overall, however, that number increases
by a touchdown. In non-league play and the
playoffs, Carmel is allowing an average of
43.7 points per game.
The Padres are also 1-2 against PAL teams
this season. They dropped a 28-21 decision
to Menlo School in their season opener,
before being blitzed by Sacred Heart Prep
76-55 in Week 3. They earned their first victory over a PAL team when they beat Kings
Academy 50-47 last week.

Jones 68 gives him early

lead at Australian Open
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SYDNEY Matt Jones used

home-course advantage to shoot a
3-under 68 Friday and take the
early clubhouse lead during the
second round of the Australian
Open.
Jones, who is a member at The
Australian Golf Club, had a 36hole total of 7-under 135 on a
course that was playing easier after
Thursdays brutal wind and heat
when only 18 players broke par.

Adam Scott, who like defending

champion Jordan Spieth opened
with a 71, failed to take advantage
of the easier conditions, shooting
73 to move further down the
leaderboard. Scott is likely to be
just inside the cut line.
Spieth, who had an afternoon
start Friday, moved among the
leaders with three birdies in his
first eight holes.
Nicolas Colsaerts had the best
round of the early groups, shooting 66.

1968 between Houston and UCLA.
It was the first regular-season game
to be broadcast on national television. Houston defeated the Bruins
in front of a crowd of more than
52,000, which, at that time, was
the largest ever to watch an indoor
basketball game.
Lewis attended the introductory
news conference in December 2007
for Kevin Sumlin, the first black
football coach in Houston history.
It was a symbolic, significant
appearance because Lewis signed
Houstons first two black basketball players and some of the first in
the region in Hayes and Chaney in
1964, when programs were just
starting to integrate.
Hayes and Chaney led the
Cougars to the programs first Final
Four in 1967 but lost to Lew
Alcindors UCLA team in the semifinal game.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Basketball in the state of Texas
and throughout the South is all due
to coach Guy V. Lewis, Hayes said
in 2013. He put everything on the
line to step out and integrate his
program. Not only that, he had
vision to say: Hey, we can play a
game in the Houston Astrodome.
Not only that, he just was such a
motivator and such an innovator
that created so many doors for the
game of basketball to grow.
Along with Hayes, Lewis also
coached fellow All-Americans
Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde
Drexler. The three were included on
the NBAs Top 50 greatest players
list in 1996. Lewis and North
Carolinas Dean Smith were the
only men to coach three players
from that list while they were in
college.
Players and CBS announcer Jim
Nantz lobbied for years for Lewis to
get into the Naismith Hall of Fame.
When he finally received the honor
in 2013 he made a rare public
appearance. It was difficult for him
to convey his thoughts in words in
his later years because of aphasia

from his strokes, so his daughter

spoke on his behalf at the event to
celebrate his induction.
Its pure joy and were not even
upset that it took so long. ... Dad is
used to winning in overtime,
Sherry Lewis said.
Lewis announced his retirement
during the 1985-86 season, and the
Cougars finished 14-14, his first
non-winning season since 195859.
Guy Vernon Lewis II was born in
Arp, a town of fewer than 1,000 residents in northeast Texas. He
became a flight instructor for the
U.S. Army during World War II and
enrolled at the University of
Houston in 1946.
He joined the basketball team,
averaged 21.1 points and led the
Cougars to the Lone Star
Conference championship. By the
early 1950s, he was working as an
assistant coach under Alden Pasche
and took over when Pasche retired
in 1956.

Creed goes the distance

Life imitates art for director Coogler
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Fruitvale Station

writer-director Ryan Coogler is sending a
love letter to his father in the form of the
latest Rocky film.
Creed was inspired by his dad, who
showed him the Rocky movies over and
over when he was growing up.
And as Coogler told a story about a
father-son relationship between Rocky
Balboa (Sylvester Stallone, of course) and
Adonis Creed (Fruitvale star Michael B.

Jordan), the young filmmaker and his cast found

themselves
being
coached off-screen by
Rocky himself.
There was a lot of art
imitating life, said
Coogler, 29. The same
way Rocky has this
Ryan Coogler advice for Adonis,
(Stallone) would kind of
treat (us) the same way.

See COOGLER, Page 22

By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Admit it. When you heard another

Rocky movie was coming out a seventh you thought, really? How many
Rocky movies do we need?
Well, it turns out we needed seven. At
least.
From its very beginning in 1976, the
Rocky story has been about proving you
belong in the ring not winning, necessarily, but showing you have the cred to be
there in the first place. Thats why Rocky
told Adrian: All I wanna do is go the distance.
And so Creed, directed by the talented
Ryan Coogler and starring a fairly irresistible team of Michael B. Jordan and (of

course) Sylvester Stallone, shows it

belongs in the ring from the first moments.
With a deftly crafted blend of smarts and
corn of course theres corn, people, this
is Rocky! it earns our trust: Its gonna go
right to the edge with the heartstring-tugging, but it wont go over. And so we can
relax. We wont hate ourselves in the morning. And when the old Rocky music starts
playing, as it inevitably will at a key
moment, well be able to laugh happily,
and not scornfully. The movies earned it.
Stallone is now 69, and Creed wisely
doesnt attempt to get Rocky Balboa back
into the boxing gloves. This films about
another fighter: young Adonis Johnson,
whom we first meet as a child in a LA juve-

Paul Walkers father sues

Porsche over fatal crash
By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Paul Walkers

father sued Porsche for negligence and
wrongful death Wednesday over the
2013 accident that killed the Fast &
Furious star.
Walkers father, who is the executor
of his sons estate, filed the lawsuit
claiming that the Porsche Carrera GT
that his son was riding in lacked safety
features that could have saved the
actors life.
The lawsuit cites features included in
other pending lawsuits against the
automaker over the crash that might
have saved the actors life, including a
stability control system, side-door
reinforcements and a breakaway fuel
line to help prevent the car from bursting into flames after a collision.
Walker was on a break from filming
the seventh film in the Fast &
Furious franchise when he was killed.
He was riding in the Carrera GT driven
by friend and business associate Roger
Rodas when the car spun out of control, struck three trees and burst into

flames on a street in
Santa
Clarita,
California.
The lawsuit seeks
unspecified damages.
Rodas
widow,
Kristine, who has a
pending
claim
Paul Walker against Porsche in
federal court, also
filed a wrongful death lawsuit against
the carmaker in state court on
Wednesday.
An after-hours message sent to
Porsche seeking comment was not
immediately returned.
The car company has denied in other
lawsuits, including one filed by the
actors daughter, that it is responsible
for Walkers death.
On Nov. 12, Porsche stated in a court
filing that the Carrera GT had been
altered and improperly maintained and
those factors contributed to the deaths
of Walker and Rodas.
The company also called Walker a
knowledgeable and sophisticated user
of the 2005 Carrera GT, Porsches
lawyers stated in response to the law-

suit by Meadow Walker, the actors

daughter.
Meadow Walkers attorney, Jeff
Milam, criticized the filing, reiterating his claims that the car as sold was
unsafe.
If Porsche had designed the car to
include proper safety features, Paul
would have survived, he would be filming Fast and Furious 8, and Meadow
Walker would have the father she
adored, Milam wrote in a statement.
None of the cases have yet been set
for trial.
Wednesdays lawsuit repeats a claim
from Meadow Walkers case that the
Porsche was traveling between 63 and
71 mph (101 to 114 kph) before it
spun out of control.
Investigators concluded the Porsche
was going much faster up to 94 mph
(151 kph) when it crashed.
The investigation by the Los
Angeles County Sheriffs Department
and California Highway Patrol concluded that it was unsafe speed and not
mechanical problems that caused the
crash. That investigation was aided by
engineers from Porsche, who evaluated
the wreckage of the rare car.

Redwood Symphony brings intensity, fun

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Conductor Eric Kujawsky and the

Redwood Symphony brought raw intensity
to a concert of openly emotional music last
Saturday at Caada College.
The concert began with the Four Sea
Interludes from Benjamin Brittens somber
and tragic opera Peter Grimes. The interludes, scene-changing intermezzos for
orchestra that are large and interesting
enough to stand as a set of tone poems, are
written in an accessible but challenging
modern idiom that makes them difficult to
play. The two slow movements have longheld high-pitched string sounds that are
hard to keep in pitch. For a volunteer
orchestra, the strings did well. The winds
and brass were even better.
The rhythmically complex movement
Sunday Morning was better still.
Everyone stayed together on the ferociously jerky main tune and the church-bell
sounds that ran across it, even at the cost of
going a little slowly. And the rough storm
that concludes the set was more properly
ferocious than a more polished orchestra
might make it.
The big work on the program was
Tchaikovskys Fifth Symphony, a richly

melodic and surprisingly cheerful work by this

most
melodic
and
famously
depressed
composer.
Kujawsky
confessed in his preconcert talk that he has a
love-hate relationship
with
Tchaikovskys
Eric Kujawsky music. Its lovely, but
he finds it garrulous and
in need of an editor. I would apply that criticism 10-fold to Mahler, but Kujawsky
adores Mahler, so it takes all kinds.
The problem, though, is that if performers are not sympathetic to a composer, they
may have trouble with deep appreciation of
the music. Although Kujawsky cut a few
bars here and there in the more repetitious
build-up passages, he didnt have an intuitive understanding of why even the parts
he left in were there, so the build-ups and
transitions sounded more draggy and superfluous than they would from a conductor
more responsive to Tchaikovskys idiom.
Still, he led an action-packed performance, and the orchestra the winds and
brass again particularly good gave
punch and power to many a lively climax.
Theres a passage near the end of the finale
where the music reaches a portentous

pause. Many conductors

rear back so pompously
at this spot that the audience starts applauding,
thinking the work is
over. There was no
chance of that happening here. Kujawsky sped
through with energy and
Hope Briggs determination, yet without rushing or skimming
through the music.
The remaining piece on the program
offered a different kind of emotion. This
was Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Samuel
Barbers lyrically nostalgic setting of
James Agees prose poem wistfully remembering the happy days of his
early childhood. Hope
Briggs sang the soprano
part, gently caressing the
words. Her voice was broad
and smooth in its lower
pitches, becoming more
pointed and intense in higher notes. More than with
other performances Ive
heard, a printed text was not
necessary. I was marveling
after the performance at the
clarity of Briggs diction,

when I heard someone sitting nearby saying, I couldnt make out a word she said,
so opinions vary here also.
The orchestra played the lyrical passages
with an admirable softness and gentility.
Some of the raw intensity of the Britten and
Tchaikovsky made its appearance in the
contrasting middle sections. Barber wanted
a little more action here, but he probably
didnt imagine Agees passing streetcar
thundering by with such ferocity.
This was a fun concert, with exciting performances of real masterworks of music
two of them proving that 20th-century
music can be just as touching and enjoyable
as the hoarier old classics and Im glad
to have had the experience.

nile detention center. Life has been hard; hes the secret illegitimate son of boxing great Apollo Creed Rockys former
nemesis, of course who died before Adonis was born. But
fate smiles on the boy when Creeds widow (Phylicia Rashad)
takes him in.
Some 17 years later, Adonis (Jordan, exuding charisma and
star power at every turn) is living in a mansion with mom and
thriving at a finance job. But he cant shake his passion for
boxing. He heads to Philadelphia to find the Italian Stallion.

Adonis wants to train with the best.

Rocky, now gray, grizzled and weary, declines at first.
Why, he wants to know, would you pick a fighters life
when you dont need to? (Adonis mothers response was
even more forceful: Do you want brain damage?) But
Adonis wins Rocky over.
The clash between Rockys old-school ways and Adonis
modern existence is immediately apparent. When Rocky
gives Adonis a written list of training routines, Adonis snaps
a shot on his iPhone and waves away the paper, saying its
safely on the cloud. Rocky stares skyward: The cloud?
Stallone plays it just right; like much here, it could be hokey,
but its not.
Of course, being a Rocky movie, it all comes down to a
climactic fight. The opponent is a tough British champion,
Pretty Ricky Conlan (real-life champion Anthony Bellew).
But the British camp poses a condition: Adonis needs to use
the Creed name. Its Adonis new musician girlfriend (an
appealing Tessa Thompson) who convinces Donnie, as she
calls him, that he can. Take the name, she says. Its
yours.

COOGLER
Continued from page 18
Creed tells the story of Adonis
Creed, the illegitimate son of Rockys
late opponent-turned-friend Apollo
Creed. Adonis never met his father, but
he wants to be a professional fighter,
so he goes to Philadelphia to seek
Rockys help. Though initially reluctant, the old champ agrees to coach the
young boxer, and they form a filial
bond that grows in tandem with the
stakes they face.
When Coogler first pitched Stallone
the idea of another Rocky film, the
Hollywood veteran wasnt too gungho. The young filmmaker was fresh out
of graduate school, and Stallone had
hung up Rockys gloves years earlier
in 2006s Rocky Balboa.
He was kind and he listened really
intently, but I think he was kind of
apprehensive, Coogler said. I dont
think he was so into it.
This was before Cooglers first fea-

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Theres still the matter of getting in shape. As Adonis and
Rocky begin training, an unexpected challenge comes in the
form of a serious health scare for the older man.
But back to that fight: If the finale in a Rocky movie
isnt gangbusters, youre sunk, and Coogler (who co-wrote
the screenplay) saves his best moves for last, staging a
match (kudos also to cinematographer Maryse Alberti) that
should have you on the edge of your seat even though you
know, already, that theres no way Adonis is going to go gently into that good night.
Jordan deserved a good movie after the terrible Fantastic
Four, and he gets one here; he remains on course to become
Hollywoods Big New Thing. Stallone gives a moving turn
as a fading legend with one last big fight in him. (Or will
there be more?)
Together with director Coogler, you could say this trio
knocks it outta the ring.
Creed, a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for violence, language and some sensuality. Running time: 132 minutes.
Three stars out of four.

ture, Fruitvale Station, won honors

at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals and heralded him and Jordan as talents to watch.
The role of Adonis Creed would
require an actor as dedicated to his
training as Rocky was for his first big
fight. On this, Stallone and Coogler
agreed.
What ultimately convinced Rockys
creator was meeting Jordan.
Hes a fantastic actor, Stallone
said of his 28-year-old co-star. Hes
so dedicated.
Jordan spent a year physically
preparing for the role. When he met
Stallone, he was like an uncle,
Jordan said, somebody I could sit
down and talk shop with.
If Stallone recognized the young
mens work ethic, Coogler and Jordan
were awed by his. They saw what
Coogler described as a 68-year-old
dude with nothing to prove who filled
the margins of his script with handwritten notes and reflected on his
scenes hours after theyd wrapped.
Such dedication inspired the younger
men to work harder.

I dont ever want to be in a position

where I cant answer his questions, so
Ive got to do the work myself, said
Coogler, who was inspired by
Stallones commitment to the craft.
Coogler directs the Oscar-nominated
actor to one of the most affecting performances of his career.
Still, Stallone surprised his director
and co-star when he coached, er,
coaxed an unexpected performance
from Jordan in a particularly emotional scene. Coogler realized Jordan was
suddenly crying off camera, and
reshoots were needed to get the emotions on film.
I dont know, man. He got me.
Thats a testament to Sly and this guy,
he said, pointing to Coogler.
Just as Coogler connected with his

HUNGER

TOLL
Continued from page 1
Daly City Councilman David Canepa
is also on the C/CAG board and supports bringing carpool lanes into the
county.
Toll lanes, however, are a different
matter.
Canepas concern is that some county residents will not be able to afford
the toll.
It needs to be studied more, he said
about charging commuters to access an
express lane.

tial burst of enthusiasm throughout the

entire drive, she said.
The school hosts a rally to kick off
the event and there is typically a surge
of donations in the first week, but
ramping up interest and keeping students engaged over the two-week life
of the drive can be difficult, she said.
Its a little challenging to keep
them riled up, she said.
Hayat said a little friendly competition between classes can be a useful
motivator to keep students passionate
about participating.
We get more donations if each class
is in competition, she said.
The current school leader is a class
that has collected 2,000 pounds of
canned food, said Hayat.
Other schools in the San Mateo
Union High School District do their
own similar food drives as well, as
Burlingame, Aragon and Capuchino
high schools conducted a food drive
competition which brought in more
than 1,000 cans, according to a district report.
Hayat said occasionally she will
encounter alumni of other district
schools who are reluctant to donate to
the San Mateo High School effort,
because they prefer to support the
drive from their local school.

Typically though she said she has

found local residents and organizations generous and charitable.
Inspired by the recent success of the
Golden State Warriors, a team which
has relied heavily on teamwork to
achieve a collective vision, Hayat said
the school is applying a theme of
strength in numbers, to rally enthusiasm for participation in the drive.
Eat, sleep, donate, repeat, has
been the message repeated throughout
the drive, said Hayat.
Sara Cowey, activities director and
leadership teacher at San Mateo High
School, said she appreciates seeing
the students taking the initiative to
accomplish a goal they feel is important.
The whole school gets involved to
make a difference in their community,
said Cowey. We are really proud of all
the students.
Cowey said she has overseen years
worth of drives, and echoed Hayats
sentiment that the hikes in food cost,
combined with significant expense of
living locally, has made the schools
effort more difficult than years prior.
The rent to live in this county is so
expensive, so more families are struggling to make ends meet, she said.
Despite the adverse conditions,
Cowey said she appreciates the hard
work that goes into serving the community.
We are really grateful for everyone
pitching in the best they can, she
said.
Those interested in donating food or
money may swing by San Mateo High
School, 506 N. Delaware St., between
7:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Financial contributions are also
accepted online at www.smhscfd.com
and students can be found after school
and during weekend at grocers along
the Peninsula accepting donations as
well.

Seeking the grants is the preliminary step and it could take up to two
years before the studies are complete,
said C/CAGs Jean Higaki.
We all agree that 101 is problematic and there are several alternatives
being proposed. We have to understand
what the impacts to the whole system
will be, Higaki said.
Earlier this year, Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco,
introduced legislation that makes congestion relief a priority for the 48mile stretch of highway between San
Francisco and San Jose.
The bill declares that the corridor is
the most economically productive and

important stretch of highway in the

state and that its transportation capacity is grossly insufficient to serve
the growing number of commuters.
It also declares that bad traffic on
101 has led to serious overcrowding
on Caltrain.
The bill seeks to provide a framework for addressing major congestion
through San Mateo County by bringing together the business community,
transportation experts and city officials to engage the commuting public
on ways to alleviate the congestion.
Its a two-year bill that is currently
being amended, according to Mullins
office.

Continued from page 1

which has made the drive possible,
recent price hikes in the cost of food
has hampered the schools ability to
collect as many donations as years
past.
We might not reach our goal, she
said. But the overarching goal is getting every student involved.
In previous years, one dollar could
purchase as many as four pounds of
food, according to Hayat, but this year
that same amount of money only buys
about 2.5 pounds of food.
All the food collected by students is
donated to Samaritan House in San
Mateo and Second Harvest Food Bank,
and the organizations will distribute
the cans to families in need.
Hayat said it is heartening to see the
student body come together for such a
worthy cause.
Its a lot of hard work to put in, but
I think it is so, so incredibly worth it,
she said.
Months of preparation go into
organizing the food drive, said Hayat,
as it is the student bodys largest unified effort of the school year.
She said she has spent countless
hours working with partner organizations to coordinate donations, finding
markets which will allow students to
set up a collection bin near the storefront, and other efforts.
Directing the food drive has been
beneficial in helping Hayat develop a
variety of skills such as coordination
and communication, she said.
Ive learned so many incredible
skills, she said. You get more out of
it than you think.
One of the biggest challenges Hayat
has faced is maintaining students ini-

Pope says catastrophic if interests derail climate talks

By Nincole Winfield and Tom Odula
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, Kenya Pope Francis warned

Thursday that it would be catastrophic for
world leaders to let special interest groups get
in the way of a global agreement to curb fossil fuel emissions as he brought his environmental message to the heart of Africa on the
eve of crucial climate change talks in Paris.
Francis issued the pointed warning in a
speech to the U.N.s regional office here after
celebrating his first public Mass on the continent. The joyous, rain-soaked ceremony
before 300,000 faithful saw the Argentine
pope being serenaded by ululating Swahili
singers, swaying nuns, Maasai tribesmen and
dancing children dressed in the colors of

online. Cops telltale saying if you see
something, say something should be on
peoples minds and police recommend
neighbors look out for one another.
When it comes to big shopping days,
police dont want burglars to steal the holiday cheer.
The biggest thing for those people who
are shopping, based on our recent crime
trends, even just over the year, its a crime
of opportunity, said San Mateo police Sgt.
Glen Teixeira. So the key is to not leave
anything visible.
For those striving to do as much shopping in one fell swoop as possible, they
often drop off their goods in their vehicles
then return to the stores. This makes an easy
target for auto burglars conducting surveillance of parking lots.
Theyre seeing property left in plain
view and they know that people arent
going to go shopping then go home; they

Kenyas flag.
Francis has made ecological concerns a hallmark of his nearly 3-yearold papacy, issuing a landmark encyclical earlier
this year that paired the
need to care for the environment with the need to
care for humanitys most
Pope Francis vulnerable. Francis argues
the two are interconnected
since the poor often suffer the most from the
effects of global warming, and are largely
excluded from todays fossil-fuel based global
economy that is heating up the planet.
On Thursday, Francis repeated that message
but took particular aim at those who reject the

science behind global warming. In the United

States, that includes some Republican presidential candidates and lawmakers, who have
opposed steps President Barack Obama has
taken on his own to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
It would be sad, and dare I say even catastrophic, were special interests to prevail
over the common good and lead to manipulating information in order to protect their own
plans and interests, Francis said.
He didnt elaborate, but in the United States
at least, there has been a well-funded campaign that rejects the findings of 97 percent
of climate scientists that global warming is
likely man-made and insists that any heating
of the Earth is natural. Politicians have cited
these claims in their arguments that emis-

sions cuts will hurt the economy.

Francis message was praised by NASA historian Erik Conway, who co-wrote the 2010
book Merchants of Doubt, which detailed
the attempts by far-right institutions and likeminded scientists to discredit the science
behind global warming and spread confusion
in the public.
Conway said it was difficult to determine
today how much money is still being directed
into climate change denial since much if it
goes through foundations.
But what that funding has achieved is the
nearly complete conversion of Republican
Party leadership into denial of human-caused
climate change as well as public confusion
over the content of the science, he said in an
email.

go from store to store, Teixeira said.

Theres no reason for shoppers on a busy
schedule or even mall security to loiter in a
parking lot, so watch out for anyone looking into vehicles or suspiciously hanging
around, Teixeira said.
Sheriffs Sgt. Sal Zuno suggested shoppers remove all visible items from your car
and secure them in your trunk or an area
where they cannot be seen from the outside.
Be aware of your surroundings and note that
someone else may be watching you as you
put valuables in your car or under your seat.
Breaking into a car is easier, quicker and
quieter than one might think. Window
punches can be bought cheap online and,
within a few seconds, thieves can gain
access to a vehicle without drawing a lot of
attention, Teixeira said.
They can be in and out in a matter of five
seconds. It will be that quick. And if theyre
just casually walking through a parking lot,
they can just go undetected, Teixeira said.
Often, thieves are looking for big-ticket
items like electronics or computers. So not
leaving an Apple Store bag in plain sight or
taking advantage of a stores free gift wrapping is a good idea, Teixeira said.

Police also remind people not to make it

easy for burglars and to always lock all
doors and windows. Alarms are a good deterrent and people may want to consider
installing them if their vehicles are not
already equipped, according to Zuno.

and saw the vehicle, which helped deputies

catch the alleged thieves shortly after,
according to the Sheriffs Office.

If you prefer to avoid the malls

Shopping online is increasingly popular
amongst those looking to avoid holiday
crowds and police warn people to be wary of
credit card fraud and package thefts.
When ordering online, try to ensure
someone will be home when items are delivered. Theres never been a better time to get
to know ones neighbors, their habits and
to look out for one another, Teixeira said.
Alert citizens are often the key in apprehending burglars. On Tuesday, a San Jose
duo was caught stealing a package from a
Half Moon Bay home after a neighbor called
law enforcement, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
Chris Brian, 18, and Sarah Karin, 19,
were cited for petty theft for taking a package from the front porch of a home on the
300 block of Central Avenue around 9:45
a.m. The neighbor witnessed the incident

The community members are our best

resources. They really are, because so much
information comes from them, Teixeira
said.
Thieves are sometimes known to follow
delivery trucks while on the lookout for an
opportunity to lift a package. Residents can
protect themselves by carefully tracking
deliveries online and making arrangements
for someone else to pick up a package if no
one is planning to be home, Teixeira said.
Police suggest always ensuring shoppers
are using a secure website one that
begins with https:// indicates its a secure
consumer site and monitoring credit
statements. When using a computer that
others have access too, dont let the browser save passwords or credit card information, according to San Mateo police.
Teixeira said his department will ramp up
patrols of shopping centers and both he and
Zuno remind everyone to immediately
report any suspicious activity.
