Nearly a century of San Mateo

Fire Department history is spurred
to life during festive occasions
when its 1921 Seagrave fire
engine Old Betsy is taken for a

It was the citys first engine

capable of using pressure to pump

years, the San Mateo Firefighters
Association brought Old Betsy

WASHINGTON Congress on
Friday sent President Barack
Obama a massive defense policy
bill that endorses his stepped-up
military campaign of air strikes
and training of Iraqis and moderate
Syrian rebels in the war against
Islamic State militants.
The Senate overwhelmingly
approved the bill that authorizes
funds for basic military operations, including construction of
new ships, aircraft, and weapons
as well as a 1 percent pay raise for
the troops. The vote was 89-11.
A coalition of defense hawks and

Western state Republicans overcame objections by Sen. Tom

Coburn, R-Okla. , and several
other GOP senators, who were furious that unrelated provisions to
designate 250,000 acres of new,
federally protected wilderness were
added to the popular legislation
dedicated to military operations.
The measure would authorize the
training and equipping of moderate Syrian rebels battling the
extremists, a mandate that lasts
for two years. It also would provide $5 billion to train Iraqis to
counter the militants who brutally

San Bruno selects police chief

By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson

announced Friday that Ed Barberini has been
chosen as San Brunos newest chief of
police, effective Jan. 5, 2015.
Barberini, 44, who is replacing Chief
Neil Telford, was selected following a fourmonth recruitment process, which included
a thorough interview and assessment
process with community members, police
chiefs and city staff, according to a city
press release.
I am very excited to have been chosen to
lead the men and women of the city of San
Bruno Police Department, Barberini said in
a prepared statement. I am eager to continue the great work Chief Telford has achieved
in the department.
Telford worked as a police officer full time

Ed Barberini

for the San Bruno Police

Department for 30 years
and as a reserve officer
for two years. He was
appointed police chief in
December 2006 and
announced his retirement
in July. His last day is at
the end of December,
according
to
City
Manager
Connie

Jackson.
Barberini has more than 20 years of experience in policing, beginning his career in
the Sheriffs Office with San Mateo County
in 1994 where he promoted from deputy
sheriff to lieutenant over a span of 20 years.
While with the county, Barberini held several special assignments including chief of
police for the city of Millbrae, Office of
Emergency Services director and administrative commander.

Barberini has a bachelors degree in political science from San Francisco State
University, and a masters in public administration from California State University,
East Bay. He also has a masters in homeland security studies from the Naval
Postgraduate School. In addition to his
many Peace Officer Standards and Training
(POST) certificates, he is a graduate of POST
Command College.
Barberinis varied and depth of experience
and collaborative style are great assets,
Jackson said.
Lt. Barberini has extensive background
and leadership in policing, she said. One
of the things that stood out was his diversity of experience, including as the police
chief in Millbrae under the contracted services model. Its a style and demeanor thats
collaborative and seems to have a focus on
problem solving, which I believe is a good
fit for San Bruno.

Missing Pacifica surfers body found in Sonoma

By James Lanaras
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The body of a surfer who was reported

missing off of a Pacifica beach last month
was recovered a mile off Salt Point State
Park on the Sonoma Coast, a Sonoma
County sheriffs sergeant said Friday.
The Sonoma County Coroners Office
used dental records to identify the deceased
man as 52-year-old Brook Warren Keyon, of
Shingle Springs.
Keyon was last seen by the U.S. Coast
Guard face down in the water about 100 yards
away from Rockaway Beach shortly after 5
p.m. on Nov. 23.
Pacifica firefighters saw someone in a
black wet suit offshore but lost sight of the
person 10 minutes later.
Pacifica police Capt. Daniel Steidle said

police found a wallet, cellphone and keys in

Keyons pickup in the small parking lot by
the beach, and his family identified the surfboard that almost immediately washed
ashore as his.
We were 90 percent sure he was the missing surfer, Steidle said.
The Coast Guard deployed a self-locating
data marker buoy that provides information
on ocean currents to indicate where the
surfer might have been carried.
The buoy floated in an 18-square mile area
of the ocean before the search was suspended at 10 p.m.
On Dec. 5, a crewmember aboard a commercial fishing boat called the Coast Guard
after seeing a lifeless person floating in the
water off Salt Point State Park. The Coast
Guard recovered an adult in a wet suit who
clearly had been in the water for some time,

Sgt. Cecile Focha said.

The Coroners Office responded to the
Coast Guard station in Bodega Bay and took
over the investigation, Focha said.
No one fitting the surfers description had
been reported missing in Sonoma County,
but the Sheriffs Office became aware of the
missing surfer in Pacifica, Focha said.
Keyons fingerprints were available but
were inadequate to positively confirm his
identity, and the Sheriffs Office contacted a
forensic odontologist to verify Keyons
dental records, Focha said.

Orphaned sea otter pup gets official name

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Three months after being found

stranded on a San Mateo County beach,
an orphaned baby sea otter whose furry
face has gone viral finally has a name.
The otter pup formerly referred to by
animal rescuers as Pup 681 is now called
Luna, representatives from the Shedd
Aquarium in Chicago announced Friday.
The new name was chosen from one of
more than 10,000 votes were tallied in
the Name the Sea Otter Pup contest
that ended on Thursday, aquarium officials said. Other name options included
Cali, Ellie, Poppy and Ana.
The animals new name was
announced Friday on Good Morning
America and during a special event at
Shedd Aquarium, where Luna has lived

The public can find the latest updates

on the growing sea otter pup at
www.sheddaquarium.org/sheddpup.
for more than a month since being
transferred from the Monterey Bay
Aquarium.
Wildlife rescuers brought the animal
to the Bay Area facility after a passerby
walking near Coastways Beach in San
Mateo County heard the pups cries.

Luna was transferred to the Shedd

Aquarium in late October, where a specialized marine mammal team has
worked to teach the orphaned pup how
to be a sea otter.
When it first arrived at the Monterey
Bay Aquarium, the newborn pup
weighed in at about 1 kg.
On Friday, Shedd Aquarium representatives said in a statement that Luna now
weighs 11 pounds and is successfully
reaching new milestones every day
including diving, foraging for food,
grooming on her own and most recently
the animal care team introduced four
types of seafood to her diet.
The aquarium is one of a handful of
aquariums in the country equipped to
care for orphaned baby otters and has
agreed to be Lunas permanent home.

Major storm sweeps through state

By Justin Pritchard
and John Antczak

It got a lot of people excited,

but thank goodness nobody was hurt.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Californians got a

lot of what they wanted and not too
much of what they didnt from a major
storm that finally blew out of the state
Friday.
After drenching Northern California
the previous day, the storm dumped up
to 5 inches of desperately needed rain
in Southern California. A landslide left
10 homes uninhabitable and fire officials executed a dramatic rescue of two
people from the Los Angeles River.
The storm also touched off a small
tornado in Los Angeles and a water
spout off the coast of Newport Beach.
It caused flooded streets, rock slides
and traffic tie-ups in some areas
The tornado, with wind speeds of 65
to 85 mph, struck a south Los Angeles
intersection shortly before 9:30 a.m.,
ripping tiles off roofs, damaging trees

Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service

and mangling a billboard.

It got a lot of people excited, but
thank goodness nobody was hurt,
said Stuart Seto of the National
Weather Service.
At the storms height, about 50,000
customers lost power, though most
had it back quickly.
Still, with few exceptions, damage
across the region was minor and the
soaking was welcome in a state withered by three years of drought. No serious injuries were reported as the storm
existed east toward the desert.
Adriana Fletcher, 39, of Huntington
Beach, said her 5-, 6- and 7-year-olds
were happy to see the rain after learning about the drought in school.
When it started raining, my kids

were like, This is so cool, Fletcher

said.
As the storm crept down the coast
overnight, its powerful winds caused
power outages around Santa Barbara,
where the National Weather Service
said up to 5 inches fell in coastal
mountains. Amtrak suspended service
between Los Angeles and the Central
Coast city of San Luis Obispo.
In Camarillo, a Ventura County city
about 50 miles northwest of Los
Angeles, rain was falling at about an
inch an hour over hillsides ravaged by
a 2013 wildfire. With few roots to hold
the soil in place, and a waxy subsurface
layer caused by heat from the flames,
the deluge caused part of a hillside to
give way.

Hells Angel at center of jail smuggling case denied bail

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A Hells Angel at the center of a jail

smuggling case allegedly involving
three county workers had his $1 million bail changed Friday to no-bail
status at the request of prosecutors.
The change in Dionicio Rafael
Lopezs status is largely a moot point
because he is already being held without bail on the earlier gun and assault
charges but District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said it acts as a safeguard on
the chance that case went away.
Its fairly academic but if something happened in that case we still
have him held, Wagstaffe said.

Lopezs defense
attorney did not
object to the prosecution
motion,
Wagstaffe said.
Lopez, 24, had
originally
been
held without bail
after his 2011 arrest
for allegedly firing
Dionicio Lopez a gun into a Daly
City home and narrowly missing two
children watching TV inside. He
allegedly thought erroneously a rival
was inside. However, in July, a judge
reduced it to $1 million and he posted
bond.
Before he left custody, prosecutors

Driver pleads not guilty in pedestrian death
The reportedly intoxicated motorist accused of fatally
striking an 84-year-old pedestrian in a San Mateo
Walgreens pharmacy drive-thru pleaded
not guilty Friday to gross vehicular
manslaughter.
At the same hearing, Sonia Kaur Toor,

Toor refused to take a chemical test at the scene so police
obtained her blood through a search warrant, according to
prosecutors who say she was under the influence of drugs
including marijuana.
Once Falk died, the gross vehicular manslaughter charge

January trial for sister, neighbor attack

A 22-year-old Redwood City man accused of attacking his
girlfriends teen sister on Halloween, breaking her jaw and
severely beating a neighbor who intervened will stand trial for attempted murder in January.
Kelson Aweau pleaded not guilty to that
charge plus felony assault, aggravated

his right to a speedy prosecution so trial
was set for Jan. 26.
Aweau is accused of attacking the teen

motive remains unclear but the girl was left with a brain

received a forehead gash needing 39 stitches.
Aweau remains in custody without bail.

Senate passes bill addressing Mount

Soledad veterans memorial and cross
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congress has passed a

bill that could potentially resolve the longrunning church-state conflict featuring San
Diegos Mount Soledad veterans memorial
and cross.
The Senate passed the bill that sets
defense policy by a vote of 89-11 on Friday.
The legislation contains a provision from
Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr. that
authorizes the defense secretary to essentially sell the land containing the veterans
memorial and a 43-foot cross to the Mount
Soledad Memorial Association Inc., a private group that already maintains the site.

The House passed the bill last week, so

now it goes to President Barack Obama for

Federal courts have consistently ruled that
the cross is an unconstitutional effort by the
government to endorse a religion. A judge
has ordered the crosss removal.
Its unclear whether Hunters legislation
will end the litigation, however. Before the
federal government took possession of the
land in 2006, the city of San Diego tried to
sell it to the same private group on two
occasions, but neither attempt passed
muster in the courts because the judges found
that the sales process aided a sectarian purpose in violation of the California
Constitution.

Obama urges Senate to

pass $1.1 T spending bill
By David Espo
and Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Friday urged the
Senate to ratify a $1.1 trillion,
House-passed spending bill that
has roiled his Democratic Party,
judging it an imperfect measure
that stems from the divided government that the American people
voted for.
One day after House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi publicly chastised him for supporting the bill,
the president said there were provisions I really do not like. At
the same time, he said there were
other portions that fund health
insurance, early childhood education, the fight against climate
change and expand manufacturing
hubs to grow jobs.
He offered his assessment as
Senate Democratic leader Harry
Reid also announced support for
the legislation, further underscoring the split inside the party. The
Democrats will lose control of the
Senate in January because of
heavy losses in midterm elections
last month and will go deeper into
a House minority than at any time
since 1928.
With lawmakers eager to wrap
up work for the year, there was little doubt the huge spending measure would clear Congress within a

day or two. To give the Senate

time to complete action, Obama
signed a 48-hour law overnight to
keep the government funded
through Saturday and prevent a
shutdown that both parties have
pledged to avoid. In case even
more leeway was needed, the
House passed a second stopgap
bill that will run out at midnight
on Wednesday.
Nor was there much if any controversy over the spending levels
in the spending measure, which
provides funding to keep nearly
the entire government operating
through the Sept. 30 end of the
current budget year.
The sole exception is the
Department of Homeland Security,
which is funded only until Feb.
27. Republicans intend to try then
to force the president to roll back
a new immigration policy that
removes the threat of deportation
from millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.
That battle begins in just four
weeks when we get the reinforcements of a Republican Senate in
January, Rep. Steve Scalise of
Louisiana, the House Republican
whip, said late Thursday night
after the legislation cleared the
House.
An unrelated portion of the bill

funds, opening the way to possi-

ble cuts in benefits for future
retirees.
But much of the controversy surrounding the bill concerned a variety of provisions relating to
financial regulation, the environment, campaign financing rules
and more.
Pelosi and other Democrats
objected most vociferously to a
pair of them. One raises the

California faulted for its lax

oversight of dental program
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Millions of children

enrolled in Californias health care program
for low-income residents did not get dental
check-ups last year in part because low payments deterred many dentists from participating in the program, according to a new
state audit.
The agency that administers Medi-Cal has
failed to adequately monitor the programs
dental component and that its shortcomings and ineffective actions are putting child
beneficiaries at higher risk of dental disease, State Auditor Elaine Howle said in a
report sent to the governor and Legislature
on Thursday.
Nearly 56 percent of the 5.1 million children who get their health care through MediCal did not visit a dentist in fiscal year
2013, Howle said, noting that the program
had similarly low participation in 2012 and
2011. She attributed the problem in part to a
shortage of dentists willing to see Medi-Cal
patients due to reimbursement rates that
have not increased since 2000.
Although California as a whole appeared
to have an adequate number of active
providers to meet child beneficiaries dental

needs as of January 2014, five counties may

lack active providers, Howle said. In addition, 11 counties had no providers willing to
accept new Medi-Cal patients while 16 other
counties appear to have an insufficient number of providers.
She also faulted the California Department
of Health Care Services for not monitoring a
large contractor to make sure it was providing mobile dental services in underserved
rural areas. Health Care Services Director
Toby Douglas said he agreed with most of the
audits findings and recommendations.
Douglas, who is leaving his post next
month, said the department already has
plans for correcting the problems.
Jenny Kattlove, director of strategic
health initiatives for the Childrens
Partnership, an advocacy group that lobbied
lawmakers to request the audit that demand
for dentists to treat low-income patients is
expected to increase now that more
California residents qualify as part of the federal Affordable Care Act.
While the state has taken some steps to
increase the number of children in Medi-Cal
who get needed dental care, more needs to be
done, and this audit clearly demonstrates
that, Kattlove said.

buildings.
Generating far more unhappiness among Democrats was a section that eliminates a new regulation that was imposed on the
nations banks in the wake of the
2008 near-meltdown of the economy.
The prospect of undoing that
regulation inflamed liberals,
including some mentioned as
potential presidential candidates
in 2016.

Shooting near Oregon

school sends three to hospital
PORTLAND, Ore. A suspected gang
member opened fire on a group outside an
alternative high school Friday, sending
three young people to the hospital,
Portland police said.
The victims are students at Rosemary
Anderson High School or in affiliated job
training programs, police Sgt. Pete
Simpson said. A 16-year-old girl was in critical condition, and two males ages 17 and
20 were in serious condition, police said.
A fourth person a 19-year-old woman
was grazed by a bullet but not hospitalized.
Witnesses told police there may have
been a dispute outside the school before the
shooting occurred at a street corner, but
police said they didnt know who was
involved.
We dont know what led up to the shooting, Simpson said. There was some kind
of dispute.
The assailant and two other people fled,
and the wounded students went to the school
for help, he said.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., a critic of big banks whose

supporters urge her to run for the
White House, criticized the proposal for the third day in a row on
the Senate floor. She said that five
years after passing new curbs,
Congress is on the verge of ramming through a provision that
would do nothing for the middle
class, do nothing for community
banks, do nothing but raise the
risk that taxpayers will have to
bail out the biggest banks again.

Many deported immigrants
dont recover belongings
TUCSON, Ariz. About a third of the
immigrants deported from the U.S.-Mexico
border dont recover belongings that were
seized during their arrest, according to a
report from a humanitarian group released
Wednesday.
The Tucson, Arizona-based aid organization No More Deaths says the statistic
shows a risk for migrants who often lose
money or identification cards and become
stranded with no way home.
Most likely to lose their possessions are
immigrants prosecuted under Operation
Streamline, a policy requiring that people
caught crossing the border illegally face
criminal proceedings.
No More Death says immigration officials
and detention centers lack an adequate system to track personal property, and in some
cases immigrants accuse Border Patrol
agents of theft.

LIMA, Peru U.N. global warming

talks seemed set to spill over into the
weekend as negotiators bickered
Friday night over the content of climate action plans that countries
should unveil in the run-up to a key
summit in Paris next year.
The yearly U.N. climate meetings
rarely close on time and the two-week
session in Lima was no exception as
disputes that arose in the opening days
remained unresolved by Fridays
scheduled close of the conference.

rule large sections of Iraq and Syria.

American air power had changed the momentum on the
ground somewhat and given moderates in the region an
opportunity to regroup, but ISIS cannot be defeated without
an opposing force to take the fight to it on the ground, said
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Armed Services
Committee. To do that, our Arab and Muslim partners must
be in the lead because the fight with ISIS is primarily a
struggle within Islam for the hearts and minds of Muslims.
Debate on the bill was fraught with emotion as Levin,
who is retiring after 36 years in the Senate, delivered his
valedictory speech.
Congress now has passed a defense bill for 53 consecutive years, and Levin noted that lawmakers desire to help
the troops has fostered bipartisanship despite bitter political divisions.
They not only protect us; they unite us, said Levin, who
received sustained applause and hugs at the end of his
remarks.
The bill would provide the core funding of $521.3 billion
for the military and $63.7 billion for overseas operations
in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite Obamas objections, the
measure maintains the prohibition on transferring terror
suspects from the federal prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
to the United States.
The bill would prohibit the retirement of the A-10
Warthog, the close-air support plane often described as ugly
but invaluable.
The Pentagon sought cuts in military benefits.
Lawmakers compromised by agreeing to make service members pay $3 more for co-pays on prescription drugs and
trimming the growth of the off-base housing allowance by
1 percent instead of the Pentagons deeper 5 percent recommendation.
The legislation would change the way the military justice
system deals with sexual assault cases, including scrapping
the nearly century-old practice of using a good soldier
defense to raise doubts that a crime has been committed.
The measure would give accusers a greater say in whether
their cases are litigated in the military or civilian court system, and would establish a confidential process to allow
victims to challenge their separation or discharge from the
military.
The bill also would make victims of the November 2009
attack at Fort Hood, Texas, eligible to receive the Purple
Heart. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded by Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, who had said he was
angry about being deployed to Afghanistan and wanted to
protect Islamic and Taliban leaders from U.S. troops.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, sponsored the provision,
calling the attack an act of domestic terrorism.
The bill is named for Levin and Rep. Howard Buck
McKeon, R-Calif. , the chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee who is retiring after a 22-year career in
the House.

Barile said. Its been a great tool for

because really, when someone sees
that engine, its a sense of civic pride
for all of us.
In its heyday, Old Betsy was the
cream of the crop and was the departments first high-pressure engine,
Barile said.
The reason why they purchased it
was because in 1920 we had a very
large fire called the Peninsula Hotel
fires and thats one of those landmark
fires. Something that actually starts
changing the way you do business and
we never had a fire engine until that
time that was able to pump, Barile
said. Thats significant, because if we
had that engine in 1920, it could have
hooked up to the sprinkler system of
the Peninsula Hotel and maybe the outcome would have been different.
The Peninsula Hotel fires also served
as the catalyst for the volunteer department converting to a paid one, Barile
said.
In 1921, the city decided to invest in
the $12,500 engine capable of pumping 750 gallons of water per minute;

The contretemps is the latest in a

but it was $500 short. With help from

Elsa McGinn, who served as the head
of the volunteer department, and the
Womans Club of San Mateo, Old
Betsy came to serve the city, Barile
said.
Its actually kind of a good story. I
like it because it involves genders in
the fire service. Because we typically
think of fire service as kind of all men,
and theres a lot of women in this
story, Barile said. [Elsa] pushed to
modernize the San Mateo Fire
Department . . . and the San Mateo
Womans Club today, in our current
times, has done fundraising and supported the restoration of this engine.
Old Betsy earned the name when it
was no longer up to par with modern
equipment and ultimately sold in
1962. Over the years, its had varying
owners, including a San Jose fraternity, but ultimately made its way back to
San Mateo after being discovered in a
Los Gatos junkyard, Barile said.
By a stroke of luck, a citizen recognized San Mateos emblem and contacted the Fire Department, Barile said.
In 1990, then fire captain Bill Mann
and the San Mateo Firefighters
Association purchased the engine and
has been restoring her ever since,
Barile said.
The association, with help from
fundraisers and numerous donations,

has spent $40,000 to $50,000 keeping Old Betsy up and running, Barile
said. Most recently, the departments
golf fundraiser helped replace a $6,800
individually manufactured clutch,
Barile said.
But the associations efforts are well
worth it as the 1921 Seagrave and its
chronicled history continue to inspire
firefighters and entertain the community, Barile said.
That thing has just been a part of us
for such a long time and its a real joy
to be around. Its just a real joy to see
something, what it represents, the
struggle of going between a volunteer
fire department to a modernized fire
department, Barile said. When I
drive that engine around, its like
being on parade. Ill ring the bell and
drive it along and people really stop
and wave, its unbelievable. ... People
absolutely love it, young and old.

Our generations awakening

Can we relax about Happy holidays?

Other voices

Eureka Times-Standard

t seems that, in recent years, the

simple seasonal greeting of
Happy holidays has become
another excuse for posturing over our
differences; sad, but not unsolvable.
To both sides in this spat those
insistent on pointing out just which
holiday they celebrate with an Oh,
no, thank you very much, and those
overly eager to take offense at the
assumption that they ought to be celebrating any holiday at all the
phrase can be grounds for a sneer, a
pointed lecture or a strongly worded
letter.
How Scrooge-like.

Whatever happened to taking words

in the spirit in which they are given?
Whether you believe we are all living in 2014 A.D. or C.E., Hebrew
Year 5,775 or the Year of the Horse,
were all, believe it or not, stuck on
the same planet for now, at least.
Happy holidays may not be specic, but whether you celebrate
Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa,
Boxing Day, the winter solstice,
Wookie Life Day or the coming of the
Krampus, December is packed with as
many causes for celebration as
strangers you may pass on the street.
There ought to be nothing objection-

able about throwing a little unspecied holiday cheer into the wintery air.
Just a general wish of good times and
merry mood for everyone involved.
Now, were not arguing that you
ought to say Happy holidays to the
exclusion of all other seasonal greetings. It just not ought to be cause for
a Sharks and Jets throwdown at the
dinner table.
After all, good will is not just a
place to buy remarkably affordable
clothes. We could all use a little more
good will in our lives, no?
So, if we could ease up on our daily
dose of cable news outrage and take a
moment to embrace our neighbors
in spirit that would be great. No
one loses. Everyone wins.

Christmas had once again been omitted.
This omission had never been successfully explained to me in a
thoughtful or reasonable manner. A

word Christmas was exclusive. Sorry

areas churches to take action.

Churches (and other nonprot organizations) enjoy their tax exempt status
in part based on the notion they provide a valuable community service.
Helping the homeless, hungry and
sick is part of the mission of many
religious organizations. I believe the
number of people in the jungle
encampment was quoted as about 60.
If each church in the area were to
adopt or sponsor one or two of the
former residents by assisting them to
get the care they need (housing, food,
medical care and nancial benets) it
would be a good step in the right
direction for those folks and the community and a tangible demonstration
of religious principles.
In the cases in which the homeless
and disabled are eligible for or are
receiving Social Security Disability
Income (SSDI), the church can
become their representative payee and
insure the benets are used for the
individuals housing, food, medical
care and other living expenses and
retain a small fee from the benets for
the service as allowed by Social
Security.

right.
How we, the people, respond to the
summary, and the CIAs attempt to
hide the truth, is critical. We cannot
erase the stain of past misdeeds but
we can hold those who committed
crimes accountable, and ensure that
from today on our nations laws and
international treaties relating to the
detention and treatment of prisoners
are enforced, so that we never allow
torture to be committed in our name
again.

ou might be surprised to know that human beings

spend, on average, a third of our lives sleeping.
For those of us who are fortunate enough to reach
the average age life span in the United States of 78 years,
that is almost 30 years, or more than one-quarter of our
lives, according to the Perlman School of Medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania. Just think what could you do
with almost three decades of your life reserved for sleeping. Given that many of us feel our time here on Earth is
too limited by our inevitable human fate, our time awake
is much more valuable than most of us care to think about
daily.
It is no wonder why humanity
has developed a number of
terms to describe the rich concept of awakening, such as
enlightenment, revival and renaissance. The term awaken is
derived from the Old English
word awacian, which means
to arise.
Throughout history, human
beings have attributed major
movements, revolutions, uprisings, breaks with tradition and
Jonathan Madison
moments of collective consciousness as awakenings in the human spirit.
The Rev. Martin Luthers Ninety-Five-Theses sparked
the beginning of one of the greatest religious movements
in history the Protestant Reformation. The movement
symbolized a collective rejection of the Roman Catholic
Churchs doctrine of selling indulgences in the name of
saving ones salvation from the perils of purgatory.
In the Renaissance, Europeans in the 14th century discovered and enshrined new mathematical concepts and
experienced an educational revolution of literature and science. Likewise, the Enlightenment was a movement
spearheaded by world-renowned philosophers like John
Locke, who paved the way for new forms of reasoning and
analysis amongst the academic community.
And dont forget our nation began with an awakening
called the American Revolution. The mere mention of Paul
Reveres ride is enough to send patriotic nerves up ones
spine. The American people in collective resistance
rejected a tyrannical government and fought to win our
freedom and ultimately build a foundation for our great
country.
Of course, no one can forget the civil rights movements
of the 1950s and 1960s. These movements made possible
the enforcement of many of the fundamental rights that
you and I hold dear today most notably the right to
equal protection under the law and the right to vote.
Yet, for the longest time, it appears that many have
labeled our fairly new generation lazy and complacent
when it comes to exercising the rights for which so many
of our ancestors sacriced their lives to our gain. To some
extent, thats true.
But, beyond those speculations, it appears that in and
beyond our nation, a new awakening has taken foot a
democratic awakening. After the fatal shooting of Michael
Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9, 2014, many see
a movement taking shape. What started with cries for a
fairer criminal justice system in Ferguson has now swept
through New York, where Eric Garner died at the hands of
law enforcement on July 17. And, as most of us have witnessed, those cries from protesters have reached the Bay
Area and the rest of our country.
Beyond the protests, people nationwide are registering
to vote and becoming more socially engaged something we should always applaud, for social engagement
and voting are the pillars upon which our democracy rests.
The movement does not stop here. In Hong Kong, tens
of thousands of protesters from all walks of life have
taken to the streets for the last two months, demanding a
break with Communism in exchange for a democratic
republic that will allow its citizens to vote in free and fair
elections. Pro-democracy movements are also sweeping
rapidly across the Middle East and North Africa.
Awakenings are celebrations of human life. They are
assertions that we are alive and can together bring meaningful changes against tyrannical governments and
forces. After all, it only takes one person to see a vision
or hope for which a majority of others may be blind.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.s famous sentiments
about his dream of a post-racial society where his children
were not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character sparked a similar vision and awakening within millions worldwide. It is a dream that we
have yet to actually see, but one we are reminded of in the
wake of tragedy. It is refreshing to see the dream lives on
in our generation.
As we embrace the holiday season, lets remember that,
despite the unrest worldwide, we should be thankful for
witnessing moments of awakening that will likely be
enshrined in history for years to come.

NEW YORK A rout in oil prices

shook financial markets Friday, pushing stocks to their worst weekly loss
in two and a half years.
The stock market fell sharply as
investors worried that slumping oil
demand is signaling that growth outside of the U.S. is weaker than earlier
thought. And while consumers and airlines will benefit from lower fuel
prices, energy companies will see
their earnings suffer. Some may even
go out of business.
In a nation like the U.S. (as well as)
Europe and most of Asia, the benefits
of falling oil outweigh the costs, said
Jeff Kleintop, Schwabs chief global
investment strategist. The concern is
that theres something more to it,
given such a sharp decline, that theres
something deeper here.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell

fourth day in five, leaving the price 12

percent lower for the week and well
below $60 per barrel. Oil has now fallen 47 percent since reaching a peak of
$107 in June this year.
The last time oil prices were this low
was when the U. S. economy was
emerging from the Great Recession.
It looks as if oil is not through
going down yet, said Jim Russell, a
portfolio manager at Bahl and Gaynor,
a wealth manager. Its a concern for
the market because it does signal probably some global growth weakness.
Stocks were also hurt after a report
showed that growth in factory output
in China, the worlds second-largest
economy, declined last month.
The data came after Chinese leaders
affirmed their commitment to the new
normal of slower growth as they try
to steer China toward a more sustainable expansion based on domestic
consumption.

NEW YORK The rout in oil prices

advanced Friday after the International
Energy Agency lowered its forecast for
global oil demand next year.
In its monthly oil report, the agency said
global oil demand in 2015 will grow by
900,000 barrels a day 230,000 less than
previously forecast to 93.3 million.
While demand growth is still expected to
gain momentum in 2015 from 2014, the
acceleration is now looking more modest
than previously foreseen, in line with the
ever-more tentative pace of the global economic recovery, the IEA said.
The benchmark U.S. oil price tumbled
more than 3 percent, at one point dropping
to $57.34, the lowest intraday price since
May 13, 2009, when the global economy
was still in recession. Around midday in
New York, it was down $2.063, or 3.4 percent, at $57.90. Brent, the international
standard, was down $1.72, or 2.7 percent, at
$61.96.
The IEA said several years of record high
prices have induced the root cause of the
rout in oil prices in recent months.
Production in countries outside of OPEC,
such as the U.S., has surged to its highest

growth ever while the growth in demand is

at five-year lows. The fall in oil prices gathered pace in late November when OPEC left
its output target unchanged.
The agency also dampened expectations
that the fall in oil prices will automatically
be a boon for the global economy.
The adverse impact of the oil price rout
on oil-exporting economies looks likely to
offset, if not exceed, the stimulus it could
provide for oil-importing countries against
a backdrop of weak economic growth and
low inflation, the IEA said.
It highlighted the impact on Russia,
which has been particularly hard hit by the
market sell-off.
Others, however, believe the benefit to
the consumer outweighs the negatives for
energy producers. In a note last month,
Barclays estimated that a 20 percent decline
in gas prices in the U.S. results in $70 billion of savings for consumers, money that
helps restaurants, clothing stores, movie
theaters and other businesses that depend on
discretionary spending. Gas prices have
dropped 30 percent since June, to $2.60 per
gallon from this years peak of $3.70.
Barclays said those gains more than offset
an estimated reduction of $40 billion in capital spending by the energy sector.

NLRB issues rule to speed up union organizing

By Tom Raum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The National Labor

Relations Board issued a final rule on Friday
aimed at modernizing and streamlining the
union election process.
The new rule will shorten the time between
when an election is ordered and the election
is held, eliminating a previous 25-day waiting period. And it seeks to reduce litigation
that can be used to stall elections. It will also
require employers to furnish union organizers with email addresses and phone numbers
of workers.
The changes are a win for unions, which
have long complained the process is too
long. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said
the NLRBs modest but important reforms
will help reduce delays and make it easier for
workers to vote on forming a union.
Strengthening protections for workers
seeking to come together and bargain collectively is critical to workers winning muchdeserved wage gains and improving their
lives, he said.
But the rule, many months in the making,
has generated criticism from the business
community and from many Republicans.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the
new rule will hamstring employers facing

organizing drives and give unions the upper

hand.
And the Retail Industry Leaders
Association called it flawed and harmful.
By dramatically changing the procedures
that govern union elections, the rule limits
the information available to employees prior
to entering the voting booth, potentially
subjects employees to harassment at home
and undermines the due process rights of
employers, said Kelly Kolb, the organizations vice president for government affairs.
House Education and Workforce Committee
Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., and House
Employment,
Labor
and
Pensions
Subcommittee Chairman Clair Phil Roe, RTenn., said in a joint statement: After more
than three years of public outcry, the Obama
board is still determined to impose an
ambush election scheme on our nations
workplaces.
National Association of Manufacturers
President Jay Timmons said the rules only
purpose is to serve as a cudgel to bully
employers into submission.
Offering support for the rule, Mary Kay
Henry, president of the Service Employees
International Union, called it good news. It
means corporate bosses will have fewer
opportunities to cheat you out of your right
to join together.

Cougars take Lions title to 10-0 start

The defending champs proved themselves

once again at the Burlingame Lions Club
Basketball Tournament.
Half Moon Bay (6-0) won its sixth
straight game to start the year in Friday
nights
tourney
championship
at
Burlingame High School with a convincing
61-49 win over Los Altos (3-3). The
Cougars rode the hot hand of junior forward
Tommy Nuno, who scored a game-high 20
points en route to earning tournament MVP
honors for the second straight year.
We knew we had to bring our game
tonight because they are pretty good, Nuno
said. We just had to play hard and thats
what we did. When we play hard were usually pretty good.
When Nuno was charged with his fourth
foul of the game with one minute remaining
in the third quarter, however, he summarily
came off the floor with Half Moon Bay
clinging to a 36-31 lead. Thats when the
Cougars showed their flair for big-game performances runs much deeper than just with
their star player.
I think were really underrated, Half
Moon Bay senior forward Case DuFrane
said. We havent got the credit we deserve
and were trying to prove it.
DuFrane one of three Cougars players
to be named to the all-tournament team
along with Nuno and Caelin Batstone
proved it the minute Nuno stepped off the
court in foul trouble.
On Half Moon Bays ensuing possession,
the 6-7 DuFrane cut to the hoop for an exciting lay-in to increase the Cougars lead to
38-31. After Los Altos kept pace with a pair
of free throws, Cougars center Austin Hilton
closed the third quarter with a clutch offensive rebound and went back up for a bucket
to give Half Moon Bay a 40-33 advantage
heading into the fourth quarter.
Hilton had a game-high 10 rebounds, four
of which were offensive boards. But it was
the scoring prowess of he and DuFrane that
helped Half Moon Bay persevere through
the final eight minutes.

Skyline mens basketball just keeps winning, baby.

The Trojans (10-0) prevailed 69-62 in a
back-and-forth battle with West Valley (2-10)
in Fridays opener at the Skyline College
Tournament to notch their 10th consecutive
win to start the season. It is the best start
Skyline has seen in the 11 years since head
coach Justin Piergrossi took over the program.
With the Skyline College campus closed
Thursday do to storm conditions, the Trojans
did not practice, making for a sluggish start in
Fridays matchup with West Valley that saw
the lead change hands 10 times.
For us, we didnt even have practice yesterday, Piergrossi said. So, at this point of the
season, youre happy to battle and find a way
to win.
Skyline ran hot and cold throughout, but
saw sophomore point guard Elijah White
spark the team when necessary. While four
Trojans netted double-figures in scoring,
Whites 11 points blended into the woodwork
of the stat sheet. Skyline freshman Tavita
Jimenez had a team-high 17 points while West
Valley freshman Sheden Mekonnen paced all
scorers with 29.
White produced his points when Skyline
needed them most though. Past the midway
mark of the first half, both Skyline and West
Valley got cooking from beyond the arc. The
two teams totaled five 3-point plays inside
two minutes, the last two plays favoring the
Vikings to give them their biggest lead of the
game at 28-20.
After Skyline cut the lead to 28-22 on a Seth
Snoddy layup, however, both teams ran cold
to the tune of two-and-a-half scoreless minutes. Then White again turned up the heat,
scoring six points amid a 12-2 Skyline run to
put them within striking distance at the half.
With Skyline trailing 37-34 to start the second half, the scoring again ran dry for both
teams. The Trojans eventually clawed their
way back, retaking the lead 43-41 with two

49ers facing rival on Raiders looking to sweep

brink of elimination season series from Chiefs
By Tim Booth

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Richard Sherman and Russell

Wilson sat at a table placed on the San
Francisco 49ers logo at the 50-yard-line,
chomping down on turkey in a made-for-TV
moment.
It was the latest jab in whats been the
best rivalry in the NFC.
That rivalry between Seattle and San
Francisco, and what its been the last three
seasons, could be at an end after the
Seahawks host the 49ers on Sunday. San
Francisco (7-6) must win its final three
games and get some help to make the
playoffs and continue a remarkable run of
success since Jim Harbaugh arrived as head
coach.
Couple those slim playoff hopes with the
uncertainty regarding Harbaughs future in
San Francisco and Sunday could be the close
of this chapter of the rivalry.
Its tough man. The last three years, NFC
championship the first year, Super Bowl,
NFC championship, and now this year

theyre making it difficult

for us, San Francisco
running back Frank Gore
said. Weve had ups and
downs. The games we
should have won we didnt
take control of.
The evolution of the
rivalry started with Seattle
trying to emulate San
Frank Gore
Francisco, then accomplishing what the 49ers couldnt and winning
a Super Bowl. Theyve been among the best
teams in the NFC since Harbaugh and Pete
Carroll took over their respective teams, but
appear headed in opposite directions.
While the 49ers are on the brink of playoff elimination, Seattles three-game win
streak has it in a position that victories in
the final three games would earn the NFC
West title.
(As) players we have a great respect for
those guys, Seattle wide receiver Doug
Baldwin said. Its hyped-up more so for the
fans. The fans have this negativity toward

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Three weeks ago,

the Kansas City Chiefs were charging
toward the top of the AFC West.
They had as much momentum as anybody
in the league, winners of five straight.
They had just beaten the defending Super
Bowl champion Seahawks.
They also had barely heard of Latavius
Murray.
Everything changed over four quarters in
Oakland, though. The Chiefs struggled
through the rain against a team that had lost
16 straight. Murray needed only four carries
to run for 112 yards and two scores before
leaving with a concussion.
And the Raiders squeaked out a 24-20 win
that started Kansas City (7-6) on a disastrous three-game skid.
Now, the Chiefs are in playoff peril as they
prepare to face the Raiders (2-11) on Sunday.
In much the same way their season did an
about-face with their first meeting, the Chiefs

hope to turn things around

when the longtime rivals
meet again at Arrowhead
Stadium.
We still got a
chance, Chiefs defensive tackle Dontari Poe
said. Long as we got
that and were trying to
Latavius Murray push, were going to
keep moving. Theres
really never any pointing fingers.
Maybe thats because there are more places
to point than fingers to do the pointing.
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has been
sacked 11 times in two games. Kansas City
still does not have a touchdown catch from a
wide receiver. Running back Jamaal Charles
is banged up, as is tight end Anthony
Fasano and linebacker Tamba Hali. The
Chiefs run defense has been gouged by
everyone. Their pass defense hasnt fared
much better lately.

Khan, Alexander meet in key welterweight fight

By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS Amir Khan was counting on

Floyd Mayweather Jr. adding him to his dance
card about this time last year when he turned
down a chance to fight Devon Alexander for a
piece of the welterweight title.
Hes not making the mistake of waiting on
Mayweather again.
Khan and Alexander meet Saturday night in
a fight that could get the winner a shot against
Mayweather in May assuming the pay-perview king keeps ignoring calls to fight
Manny Pacquiao in what would be the biggest
fight of them all. Or, the way promoter Bob
Arum and Oscar De La Hoya have been hanging around together, it could get one of them a

fight against Pacquiao instead.

Regardless, the stakes are high on a night
that could reveal a lot about how the 147pound division will look in the new year.
I really belong on the big stage, belong in
the lights of Mayweather, Pacquiao, facing
those guys, Khan said. So, its all about just
being smart and picking the right fight at the
right time and not making mistakes.
The 28-year-old Khans mistake last year
wasnt made in the ring, but waiting to get in
the ring. He thought he was Mayweathers
choice for a fight that went to Marcos
Maidana instead. Though he ended up fighting
at the MGM Grand arena on Mayweathers card
in May, it was against Luis Collazo.
If he considers it a mistake, hes not saying.
But the popular British fighter insists that its
his time to shine on boxings biggest stages.

I think every fighter in the welterweight

division wants that big fight against
Mayweather to see how theyd do against the
best fighter, said Khan about the 37-year-old
boxer. Us young fighters, and us hungry
fighters, we want to fight the best and you
want to beat the best and you want to see how
you do against the best. You never want to
leave boxing one day thinking, well, what
would have happened if I fought someone like
Floyd?
The 27-year-old Alexander wouldnt mind a
megafight himself, and he brings credentials
of his own into a bout that the former welterweight champion needs to win and win
impressively to get him in the mix.
A fighter would be lying if they say; Im
not thinking about that; Im thinking about
the opponent ahead. But, you know theyll be

lying, Alexander said. So, its in the back of

my head, but my sole focus is Amir Khan.
Everybody knows what can be after the fight,
but Im focused on Amir Khan and what he
brings to the table. After this, then well
talk.
While Khan and Alexander fight for position in the Mayweather-Pacquiao lottery, big
punching Keith Thurman hopes to state his
own case for a big fight on the undercard.
Thurman, who has 21 knockouts in 23 wins as
a pro, fights fellow undefeated welterweight
Leonard Bundu of Italy in a bout that will have
ramifications for the division in 2015.
Its the first fight outside of Europe for the
slow developing Bundu, who fought for Italy
in the 2000 Olympics. Bundu is 31-0 but has
only 11 knockouts and his list of credible
opponents is a small one.

Old-style swaps dominate MLB winter meetings

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Baseballs winter meetings ended with an old-style spurt of swaps,
with All-Stars switching teams at a rapid
pace and executives scrambling to fill roster
voids.
Alfredo Simon, Dee Gordon, Yoenis
Cespedes, Miguel Montero, Jeff Samardzija,
Brandon Moss, Dan Haren and Howie
Kendrick were among the All-Stars dealt by
the time teams headed home Thursday, and
Matt Kemp and Jimmy Rollins were on the
verge of switching clubs.
The Los Angeles and Chicago teams were
the epicenter of change along with Miami.
Twelve trades involving 44 players were
made over the four days, according to Major
League Baseball, up from five swaps last year
and three in 2012. There hadnt been this
many trades at a winter meetings since 2006.
People are motivated, Seattle general
manager Jack Zduriencik said.

With major league revenues in the $9 billion range, increased sharing and changes
to rules for the amateur draft, more clubs
have money to spend and large-market
teams are more constrained.
The four organizations chasing San
Francisco in the NL West all changed their
top baseball front-office official since last
years gathering: Tony La Russa took over at
the Diamondbacks, Andrew Friedman with
the Dodgers, A. J. Preller with the Padres and
Jeff Bridich with the Rockies. Matt
Silverman replaced Friedman with the Rays.
People have been very, very aggressive, Detroit general manager Dave
Dombrowski said. Action starts more
quickly, so when you get here I think youre
prepared to move. Secondly, a lot of free
agents started to sign. I think a lot of clubs
were open-minded. Theres been some
change of regimes that have also contributed to that.
A $155 million, six-year agreement
between left-hander Jon Lester and the Cubs

late Tuesday night seemed to break a market

logjam.
In deals announced just before midnight
Wednesday, the Dodgers acquired Kendrick
from the Angels to play second and worked
to obtain Rollins from Philadelphia in a
remake of their middle infield. They dealt
Gordon, Haren who is mulling retirement
infielder Miguel Rojas and a player to be
named or cash to the Marlins as part of a
seven-player trade for left-hander Andrew
Heaney, right-hander Chris Hatcher, infielder Kike Hernandez and catcher Austin
Barnes.
The Dodgers then sent Heaney, considered
one of baseballs top pitching prospects, to
the Angels for Kendrick.
And as dawn broke, the Dodgers had a deal
in place to send Kemp and catcher Tim
Federowicz down Interstate 5 to San Diego
for catcher Yasmani Grandal and two pitchers. The trade was pending physical exams
and approval by the commissioners office
of the $32 million the Dodgers would send

the Padres to help offset the $107 million

remaining in the final five years of Kemps
deal.
And the Dodgers also worked to complete
a $48 million, four-year agreement with
pitcher Brandon McCarthy.
Detroit made a pair of trades, sending
Rick Porcello to Boston for Cespedes and
two minor leaguers and replacing Porcello
on its staff with Alfredo Simon, obtained
from Cincinnati for two minor leaguers.
Reds GM Walt Jocketty made that deal in a
hotel hallway Dombrowskis room was
right near his.
Boston also completed a one-year, $9.5
million deal with free-agent pitcher Justin
Masterson, who began his career with the
Red Sox, and worked to finalize a trade with
Arizona for pitcher Wade Miley.
Theres obviously been a lot more movement. The pace has quickened, certainly,
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington
said. As expected, it picked up after
Lester.

SKYLINE

said. Hes the one directing the ball club.

Hes done a lot of stuff that doesnt show up on
the stat sheet as well.
With the win, Skyline advances to
Saturdays semifinal round against Bakersfield
at 7 p.m. Bakersfield (6-2) downed College of
the Siskiyous (2-10) by a score of 76-61 in
the final matchup of the tourneys four-game
opening day.
The other semifinal matchup, Saturday at 5
p.m., will feature Las Positas and Gavilan.
The Skyline College Tournament concludes
Sunday with the consolation championship
game at noon, followed by the tournament championship game scheduled for a 4 p.m. tipoff.

College Tournament Friday night.

big buckets from Gione Edwards. The freshman wing took a feed from White on an
inbound pass to tie it 41-41. Then on West
Valleys ensuing possession, White came up
with a steal and forced the up-tempo transition
that has served the Trojans so well this season, again hitting Edwards with an assist to
give Skyline the lead.
With 12 minutes remaining in the game,
West Valley guard Rodwell Ong hit a 3-pointer to give the Vikings the lead back at 47-46.
But White brought Skyline right back after an
offensive rebound with a coast-to-coast bucket, drawing the foul in the process to give the
Trojans a 49-47 edge. This time, it was a lead
they would not relinquish.
A lot of what we do stars with [White],
Piergrossi said. He kind of gets us going in
transition and does a good job of running
the team.
White entered the game ranked No. 10
among California Community College
Athletic Association scorers, averaging 19.8
points per game. He was also tied for 17th in
the state with 46 assists.
Teams are starting to focus on him a little
bit more but hes done a good job, Piergrossi

The Colts (10-1) collected their 10th win of

the season as well, battling for a 91-87 win
over College of the Sequoias (3-7) in the threeday Foothill College Tournament in Los Altos.
Caada forward Rohndell Goodwin tabbed a
team-high 21 points and added seven rebounds.
Colts guard Crisshawn Clark added 20 points,
marking the ninth time this season he has scored
in double-digits.
With another explosive scoring output, the
Colts continue to lead the state with 89.5
points per game. They advance through the
winners bracket to face De Anza (3-5) in
Saturdays semifinal game.

Adrian Petersons appeal NINERS

denied, suspension upheld
Continued from page 11

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS The NFLs hard

line on Adrian Peterson held up.
The league-appointed arbitrator for
Petersons appeal afrmed the unpaid
suspension until at least next spring,
the nal result of the child-abuse case
that kept the Minnesota running
back out of all but one game this season and widened the rift between the
NFL and its players over the fairness
of the disciplinary process.
The decision by Harold Henderson,
a former league ofcial, was
announced Friday.
That means Peterson, though he
avoided jail time and a felony conviction, has been ned more than $4.1
million as part of the punishment
from the NFL. Thats the cost of the
six-game suspension that was issued
Nov. 18 under the leagues personal
conduct policy. He will not be considered for reinstatement before April
15.
Peterson told ESPN.com that he
plans to le a lawsuit against the NFL

and might walk away from the game,

possibly even trying to run in the
Olympics.
Ive considered retiring from the
NFL, Peterson told ESPN. I still
made $8 million dollars this year.
Ive thought about getting back into
the real estate (business in Texas) Im
already in. ... Ive thought about
going after the Olympics. You only
live once. It might be time for me to
pursue that.
The NFL Players Association called
Hendersons objectivity into question and said it was considering
immediate legal remedies to the decision.
The NFLPA expected this outcome, given the hearing ofcers
relationship and nancial ties to the
NFL, the union said in a statement.
The decision itself ignores the facts,
the evidence and the collective bargaining agreement. This decision
also represents the NFLs repeated
failure to adhere to due process and
conrms its inconsistent treatment
of players.

each other, where the players, we

have a mutual respect.
Seattle (9-4) put itself in that
position of control largely
because off Thanksgiving night, a
thorough 19-3 win that was so
embarrassing for the home team
that 49ers CEO Jed York issued a
public apology on Twitter to the
fans. Adding to the pain, the two
interceptions thrown by Colin
Kaepernick were both taken away
by Sherman, their No. 1 nemesis.
Weve definitely helped out
(Shermans) stat sheet the past couple games, San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg Roman said.

House of horrors
The past three trips to Seattle
have proven mostly forgettable
for the 49ers. It started at the end
of the 2012 season when Seattle
routed them 42-13. Then in Week
2 of the 2013 season, the
Seahawks rolled 29-3.
But Sunday will be the first time

THE DAILY JOURNAL

back in CenturyLink Field for the
49ers since Januarys NFC championship game.
It was a great night at the stadium, memorable for the fans, the
players, and the coaches because it
was a perfect night of championship football and were fortunate to come out on the (winning)
end, Carroll said.

Lockdown
The past three weeks have been a
return to what became the norm for
Seattles defense. The Seahawks
have allowed 507 combined yards
in those games. Thats the fourth
fewest allowed by any team during
a three-game span since 2006. But
none of the other three that allowed
fewer yards faced the same level of
competition as Seattles wins over
the Cardinals (9-1 at the time),
49ers (7-4) and Eagles (9-3).
The Seahawks can become the
first team since the 2011 Texans to
hold three straight teams under 200
total yards against the 49ers.

Kaps nightmare
Kaepernick has never enjoyed
playing in Seattle. In his two regular-season starts, Kaepernick has

thrown four interceptions, completed 50 percent of his passes and

has a passer rating of 47.1, the lowest at any road stadium. In the NFC
championship game, Kaepernick
was solid until the fourth quarter,
when he threw two interceptions.
It is a different atmosphere, but
I feel like its like anything you
do. The more you do it, the more
youre there, the more comfortable
you get with it, Kaepernick said.
So, when we get up there, this
offense should be fully prepared
for what to expect.

Find the QB
San Francisco was able to get
pressure on Wilson two weeks ago,
but that pass rush was nonexistent
last week against Oakland. Derek
Carr was sacked only once and had
plenty of time to pass most of the
game. The 49ers were credited with
only two quarterback hits and the
lack of pressure allowed Carr to
throw for three touchdowns and
complete 22 of 28 passes.
Cranked up in the pass rush? Its
going to be needed, Harbaugh said.
I think we have the guys to do it.
Look forward to a better performance in that area.

Continued from page 11
DuFrane opened the final quarter with
quick-back-to-back buckets, and drew a foul
on the second one to net a three-point play,
giving the Cougars breathing room at 4433. Then DuFranes passing paid off big
time as he later hit the 6-6 Hilton in the
post with a high bulls-eye which was converted for a 49-35 lead. Next time down the
court, Batstone found Hilton in the post for
a score.
We have a lot of good chemistry and
weve been working on those high-low
passes a lot, DuFrane said. So, its just
kind of go-to now.
By the time DeFrane also came off the
floor with four fouls and 4:31 remaining in
the game, the Cougars held a comfortable
53-35 lead.
That was really kind of the difference,
Half Moon Bay head coach Rich Forslund
said. [Los Altos] didnt have the size to
match up and we did a good job pounding.
Los Altos did make it interesting once the
perimeter shooting became a factor. The
Eagles were in a quandary throughout the
first half, shooting just 5 of 24 from the
floor.
I thought our defense had a lot to do with
it, Forslund said. I think our energy was at
a really high level.
Ultimately, Los Altos finished the game
having converted eight 3-pointers, six of
which came in the second half. The Eagles

capitalized on back-to-back Half Moon Bay

turnovers in the fourth quarter, both capped
by 3-point shots. And when Los Altos forward Daniel Rosenbaum hit his third trey of
the night to close to within eight points at
55-47, the Cougars may have started hearing footsteps.
But that is when Nuno checked back into
the game and closed the door, tabbing four
free throws down the stretch. The junior was
9 of 9 from the free-throw line in the game.
I think this was definitely one of our best
games from start to finish, Forslund said.
We did a lot of good things. Theres still a
lot of things to improve on. But I thought
in terms of intensity, this is probably the
best Ive seen us play for the entire game.
Also named to the all-tournament team:
Los Altos Rosenbaum his second consecutive year earning the honor and senior Sami Nassif, Burlingame junior Bassel

finished the quarter on an 8-0 run to trail by

just a point, 24-23, going into the final
eight minutes.
The Bears took the lead nine seconds into
the fourth quarter when Lucas Fioretti buried
a 3-pointer. Following a Valley Christian
bucket, M-As Bradley Stillman rattled
home another 3 and the Bears then held off
the Warriors down the stretch.
Stillman and Blake Henry led the way for

Valley Christian was led by Kristopher

The Gators got 30 points and 13 rebounds
from Corbin Koch as SHP held off the
Panthers down the stretch in the fifth-place

SHP led by as many as 10 in the fourth
quarter before Burlingame made one final
push. Bassel Mufarreh scored on back-toback basket down low and Vinnie Ferrari
drained a 3-pointer and the Panthers were
down just three, 53-50, with 2:10 left to
play.
The Gators stabilized, however, getting a
bucket from Koch to extend the lead to 5550. SHP then hit five of six from the line
over the final minute to ice the game.
In addition to Kochs 30, Mason Randall
added 11 for the Gators.
Mufarreh led the Panthers with 21 points,

Irvington-Fremont 74, Aragon 68

Not even a 29-point game from Kimon
Economou could prevent the Dons from
going 0-3 in the Burlingame Lions Club
Invitational, closing out the tournament
with a loss to the Vikings in the seventhplace game of the tournament.
The two teams went up and down the court
all game long, with both teams letting it all
hang out in the fourth quarter as they combined for 42 points.
Aragon led 36-35 at halftime, but
Irvington grabbed the momentum in the
second half, outscoring the Dons 19-8 in
the third quarter to lead by 10 going into the
fourth.
The Dons made a run over the final eight
minutes, getting as close as 64-61 following a 3-pointer from Jaime Llamas with
2:47 to play.
Aragon, however, could get no closer as
Irvington held the Dons at bay the rest of
the way.
Economou was a one-man show early, as
he scored 10 points in the first quarter and
scored 14 of the Dons first 20 points. He
went scoreless in the third before adding 12
more in the fourth quarter.
Devin Grant added 12 points for the Dons,
while Llamas chipped in with 11.
Irvington was led by Scott Hos 18.

and San Diego, two teams also in
the playoff mix, the Chiefs may be
reaching the point of no return
against the Raiders.
The positive is there are some
things we can do here to fix the
issues, Chiefs coach Andy Reid
said. They are not things that we
cant work out.
The Raiders (2-11) could be an
ideal get-right opponent, provided its the bunch that was whacked
52-0 by St. Louis two weeks ago
and not the one that stunned San
Francisco last week.
Murray missed the Rams game
while recovering from his concussion, but the break-out second-year
running back returned to run 23
times for 76 yards against the 49ers.
We missed him for that St. Louis
game, but he came back last week,
played in the game, did a nice job,
Raiders coach Tony Sparano said.
Hell be ready to go.
With their season slipping away,
the Chiefs insist theyll be ready, too.
Here are some things to watch
for in Sundays game.

Trainers room
Charles, Fasano and Hali all missed
practice this week with knee injuries,
and missing any of them would be a
blow to the Chiefs. Charles is their
most dynamic playmaker and Fasano
helps to carve out holes for him. Hali
helps to keep league sack leader
Justin Houston from getting doubleteamed. Next man up, weve got to
go, Smith said.

The Raiders Derek

Carr is coming off the
best game of his rookie season, completing
22 of 28 passes for
254 yards and three
touchdowns without
an interception. He
threw for 174 yards
with a touchdown and
no picks against
Kansas City earlier
this season.

with a 2.12 ERA in 72 appearances

for Oakland last season. Neshek,
34, has pitched for Minnesota, San
Diego, Oakland and St. Louis. He
was 7-2 with a 1.87 ERA for the
Cardinals this year, when he struck
out 68 in 67 1-3 innings and was
picked for his first All-Star game.

Powerful truck
Khalil Mack may hit like, well, a
Mack truck, but he hadnt been hitting the quarterback much until
only recently. The Raiders firstround pick had his first sack in
Week 11 against San Diego, and is
coming off his first two-sack game
against San Francisco. Thats the
part of my game that Ive always
thought about, he said, making
plays in the backfield.

Swiss cheese
Running backs have merely had
to pick their hole against the
Kansas City run defense lately.
The Chiefs have allowed at least
100 yards rushing in six straight
games, and at least 200 yards in
two of them. Even without star
running back Andre Ellington, the
Cardinals still ran for 141 yards
last week. They make plays, too.
Theyre professionals, linebacker Joe Mays said. We just
have to work on our stuff in practice and be better.

Going for two

Oakland will be trying to win
back-to-back games for the first
time since Weeks 7 and 8 in 2012,
and win on the road for the first
time in 10 games. Theyre calling
it a revenge game. Were knowledgeable of that, Raiders tight end
Mychal Rivera said. We know
that and were going to come in
with the same kind of mindset.

Tarell Brown might be out

The Raiders could be without cornerback Tarell Brown for the game.
Brown aggravated a foot injury
and hurt his ankle while trying to
break up a pass last week against
San Francisco. He came out briefly
then quickly returned and was able
to finish the game.
The veteran cornerback was held
out of practice earlier this week and
was limited in the teams light
practice Friday. Brown is questionable to play against the Chiefs.

Rocks comedy

Writer-director Chris Rock is not Andre

movie star lead of Top Five. But,
its almost impossible to watch his
latest effort, a cutting comedy
about showbiz, creativity and
ambition, and not wonder what
material Rock took from his own

part of the triumph of the film. In

film in tow, Chris Rock is back in the
spotlight right when we most need him.
Theres no more salient voice on race in
America, not to mention most other things
in America, too: marriage, sports, Kanye

film Top Five on Dec. 12, his commentary on the grand jury verdicts in
Ferguson and New York has been trenchant, and criticism of the movie business
a white industry, he called it in an

friends regularly gather around a
table to play board games. I guess
the popular mindset is that there are so
many other things we can do: watch Netflix
on our laptops, check Vine and Twitter on
our phones, read a book on our Kindles, or
even play virtual games
on our iPads. As neat as
the electronic games in
the App Store are, they
dont offer the face-toface, human interaction
that real board games do.
It had been way too long
since I last played a board
game
before
this
Thanksgiving came around. My family had a
much smaller crowd at dinner this year, so
after our delicious meal and traditional walk
(to make us feel a little less guilty about the
gigantic slice of pumpkin pie waiting at
home), we brought out the board games for
some healthy competition and holiday
cheer.
When I was younger, my parents highly
encouraged my sister and I to play board
games with each other and our friends. Some
of my favorites included Mystery Date, Mall
Madness, Sorry! and Candy Land. I dont
know why I stopped playing them or why
they seemed less popular my parents
never stopped playing them or suggesting
the unnecessary Game Night to have us
spend quality time together. Maybe with all
the new gadgetry that has come on the scene
in the last decade, those old board games,
with their antiquated buzzers, hand-spinning wheels, miniature game pieces and
simple objectives seemed pale in comparison to Xboxes, Wii consoles, Call of Duty
and Candy Crush. This new onset of technology delivered entertainment and challenges, but something was and is still missing with those diversions. It wasnt until
recently that I realized the innumerable benefits to playing board games. As a kid, board

Hillbarn celebrates season

with White Christmas
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Hillbarn Theatre gets the holiday season

off to a festive start with White
Christmas, Irving Berlins musical tribute
to love, family and friendship.
Inspired by the 1942 film Holiday Inn,
White Christmas was first seen in a 1954
film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye,
Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. After
being adapted for the stage, it has become a
holiday staple for theaters across the country.
Hillbarns production features two Equity
actors, Pierce Peter Brandt as Bob Wallace

(the Crosby role) and Jim Ambler as Phil

Davis (the Kaye role).
Written by David Ives and Paul Blake, the
story starts on Christmas Eve 1944 when
Army buddies Bob and Phil put on a holiday
show for their unit and its commander,
General Waverly (Bob Fitzgerald), in
Europe.
Fast-forward 10 years. Bob and Phil have
a popular song and dance act seen on TVs
Ed Sullivan show. Its producer tells them
about a must-see sister act by Betty Haynes
(Melissa OKeefe in the Clooney role) and

been like water in the desert of a (publicly)
tight-lipped Hollywood. Rock is on a truthtelling spree.
And for the first time, Rock has found a
way to funnel his strong voice into a fiction
film of his own. Top Five, a comedy that
sparked a bidding war at the Toronto
International Film Festival, is a big-screen
breakthrough for the stand-up. Excepting
his excellent documentary Good Hair,
Rocks previous films (Head of State, I
Think I Love My Wife) were disappointments.
But hes clearly thrilled about Top Five,
a romp through celebrity and New York.
Rock plays a version of himself, Andre
Allen, a comic attempting to turn serious

Ro ck: Ive got to do it again, but it feels
like when I did my big Bring the Pain special for HBO. Youve got to learn from your
failures. Youve got to really, really take
them in. You cant shrug them off. You cant
blame them on anyone else. You cant go,

look at the other movies I made, it wasnt
even like I was making movies. I was making posters. Like: Black guy runs for president poster! Some of them worked, some

Bobby (Cannavale) would lead and go,
Four walls. Its just us. Four walls. Theyre

the crowd. Even in a freaking movie, Im
kind of playing the crowd. Just the phrase
four walls. I say it all the time. I said it
while I was making Top Five. Im really
acting with somebody as opposed to Bob

Ro ck: I definitely watched all of those
things before making this movie. I thought
it was interesting that no one had made a
movie like Curb. I love Stardust

Stardust Memories and one of those

white performers dont have. They just get
to be actors and writers and whatever. They
get to pretty much do whatever they want.
Hey, I love Dumb Dumber. I love both of
them. You cant be black and do the same
thing. I cant believe youre talking out of
your ass! Youre setting us back! Even the
concept of role model. You never hear white
people are good role models. Never. The
term role model is racist because it implies
that my good behavior is not natural, that I
am behaving just to help out my people. I
dont hit my wife because thats not something I do, not because Im trying to help
the race.

The Houston Rockets drafted Hakeen

Theyre happy. Yes, so Obamas not Jordan.
Obamas Olajuwon. Won the championship!
We wanted Muhammad Ali, we got Sugar Ray
Leonard. Sugar Ray Leonards f------ good!

Haitian revolutionary just looks abysmal,

like the fictional title in Tropic Thunder.
Its clear that Andre is at a crossroads and
even he isnt convinced of his new path.
Things really get going when Andre
hooks up with Chelsea Brown (Rosario
Dawson), a quick-witted New York Times
reporter whos gotten the tony assignment
to follow him around for an entire day. He
resists, since the papers critic has historically eviscerated his movies, but his agent
(Kevin Hart) convinces him to go anyway.
Chelseas a fan, he thinks.
Its half true. She was a fan, but now, like
most of the country, wonders why Andre
isnt funny anymore. In his Hollywood
world of suck-ups, she turns out to be a
breath of fresh air and hes intrigued.
Long stretches of the movie focus on
Chelsea and Andre walking through the city,
talking, flirting, and sparring about everything: Politics, relationships, addiction,

and sobriety. It takes skilled performers and

deft dialogue to make banal riffing compelling, and Rock and Dawson more than
live up to the challenge. Just like in a great
Woody Allen film or Richard Linklaters
Before series, it would be easy enough to
watch these two characters do just that for
an entire movie.
But Rock isnt content to luxuriate with
just the two leads, as fun as that would have
been. Instead, he broadens Andres world
with an all-star supporting cast the size of a
football team. Cedric the Entertainer pops
up as sleazy, hilarious local club promoter,
J.B. Smoove steals scenes as his bodyguard
and chauffeur, Tracy Morgan appears as one
of his childhood friends, and Sherri
Shepherd plays an ex-girlfriend. Jerry
Seinfeld and a few other surprise high-profile comedians even play themselves in a
standout scene.
The most groundbreaking aspect about

Top Five is that it defies categorization.

Its a romance, a gross out comedy, a silly
industry satire, and a sweet look at an artist
whos just trying to figure out what he
wants.
That might seem scattered or unfocused,
and in some cases it is. Scenes go on too
long and some of the dramatic notes dont
land as gracefully as they could. But even if
Rock doesnt succeed in seamlessly weaving together all those disparate elements,
hes still created a complex, exciting patchwork that is just fun to exist in.
Rock has said that he wanted to make a
movie that captures the energy of his standup. Top Five fits the bill.
Top Five, a Paramount release, is rated
R by the Motion Picture Association of
America for strong sexual content, nudity,
crude humor, language throughout and some
drug use. Running time: 101 minutes.
Three stars out of four.

THE
JEWELRY BOX IS A HOLIDAY
GEM. In The Jewelry Box, actor and
KGO talk-show host Brian Copeland
recalls his 6-year-old self, who nds
the perfect gift for his mother a jewelry box in a White Front store.
Undeterred by its $11.97 price tag,
young Brian sets out to earn the money
by Christmas Eve. This sweet story
serves as a prequel to Copelands hit
solo show, Not a Genuine Black Man.
Directed by David Ford. 60 minutes
without intermission. Through Dec.
27.
STAGE DIRECTIONS: The Marsh
San Francisco is at 1062 Valencia St.
(near 22nd Street). Seating in the intimate theater is generally rst come,
rst served. The area around The Marsh
is jammed with restaurants, cafes and
eclectic shops. Attended, reasonably
priced, covered parking is steps away
at the New Mission Bartlett Garage,
entered from 21st Street between
Mission and Valencia.
TICKET INFORMATION: $30$40 General. $60-$100 Reserved
Seating. 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday
and 5 p.m. Saturday. Double shows 5
p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20 and
Dec. 27. No shows Dec. 25 and 26. For
information or to order tickets call
(415) 282-3055 or visit www. themarsh.org.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? It
was at The Marsh in 2004 that
Copeland premiered his rst one-man
show, Not a Genuine Black Man, about

his experiences growing up in San

Leandro in the 1970s, when that city
had a 99.4 percent white population
and policies of housing discrimination
and segregation. The play, originally
scheduled for a six-week run, went on
to run 25 months, becoming the
longest-running one-man show in San
Francisco history.
THE WAITING PERIOD. Among
Copelands other theatrical works is
The Waiting Period, in which he talks
about depression. Depression struck
Copeland so hard that at one point he
decided to commit suicide by shooting
himself. He was able to step back from
the brink during the 10-day mandatory
waiting period between the time he
purchased a gun and the day he could
legally pick it up. Deftly and sensitively sketching fellow sufferers,
impacted family members, and wellintended if misguided friends,
Copeland uses the dramatic frame of
those ten awful days in his own life to
tell the broader story of depressions
debilitating effects and sometimes
deadly outcome. Recommended for
audiences 14 years of age and over.
HOW THE MARSH BEGAN. In

1989, Stephanie Weisman, the theaters founder and artistic director,

started The Marsh because she wanted a
place for writers and performers like
herself to develop their performances.
It began as a Monday night performance series, just at the time when solo
performance was taking off in San
Francisco, and it was an immediate
success. Every week, four different performers performed for 15 minutes each
at the legendary Hotel Utah, a historic
drinking hole formerly frequented by
gold miners and beat poets.
Competition with Monday Night
Football drove The Marsh to Mortys
in North Beach, the famous '60s hangout where Lenny Bruce and Sarah
Vaughn used to perform. In 1990, The
Marsh moved into the back room of
the now defunct Caf Beano on
Valencia Street (now Caf Ethiopia).
Within a month, it was putting on
seven performances a week. After a
short stint at the old Modern Times
Bookstore location, in 1992, The
Marsh moved to a 112-seat theater formerly occupied by the jazz club
Bajones (where, according to local
lore, you could get a margarita on the
rocks at six in the morning). In 1996,
The Marsh purchased the whole building, gradually developing the 12,000square-foot space into a community
arts center, which now includes two
theaters, a comedy club, a cafe and a
youth theater.

mandatory evacuation.
In San Bruno, at least two inches of
water flooded some classrooms at the
school, said Monte Verde second grade
teacher Clare Gallagher.
Gallagher is frustrated that school
officials didnt do more when the new
classrooms were built to prevent the
flooding. Rain has flooded other classrooms at the school in the past.
My point is, its an ongoing
issue, Gallagher said.
She said district officials wasted
public money that paid for the new
construction by failing to prevent
Thursdays flooding and what may be
future flooding, Gallagher said.
District spokesman Ryan Sebers
di s p ut es t h e cl ai m p ub l i c mo n ey
was was t ed. Rat h er h e s ay s t h e
storm was so big that there was litt l e o r n o t h i n g t h e di s t ri ct co ul d
have done to prevent flooding.

The deluge of water was so strong

. . . that it just overwhelmed the
drainage areas, Sebers said.
Of all the schools in the school district, Monte Verde sustained the most
damage, he said.
Sebers had no estimate of the dollar
value of the damage.
Because of the flooding, the school
district and the city may look into
changes to the drainage system at or
around the school.
About 550 students attend Monte
Verde Elementary School, and district
officials are planning to have the
school cleaned up and opened Monday.
Though the school is in San Bruno, it
is overseen by the South San
Francisco Unified School District.
Parents, teachers and staff can get
more information about whether
Monte Verde or any of the districts
schools will be closed Monday by

monitoring the schools website or

the districts website. The district also
uses email and makes phone calls to
report closures to the community.
In Redwood City, flooded conditions
continued through Friday with an
announcement that East Bayshore
Road was closed from Haven Avenue to
Seaport Boulevard at about 6:30 p.m.
The Peninsula Humane Society and
SPCA also stepped in to temporarily
shelter animals displaced by the
Belmont and Redwood City evacuations. PHS/SPCA accepted four dogs
and one cat from residents housed at

ognize him as the inspiration for the

Act 1 closer, Blue Skies, featuring
Bob and the chorus. Lovers of tap
dancing will enjoy I Love a Piano,
performed by Phil, Judy and the chorus
to open Act 2.
With musical and vocal direction by
Tracy Chiappone, the leads also sing
and act well. OKeefe is notable in
Bettys torch song, Love, You Didnt
Do Right by Me. Co-musical director
Rick Reynolds conducts the orchestra,
which gets too loud at times, overpowering the singers.
Among supporting roles, Claudia
McCarley is a standout as the wisecracking Martha Watson, the inns
longtime receptionist and manager.
Poised and polished, 9-year-old
Emily Mannion plays Susan Waverly,
the generals sharp-as-a-whip granddaughter. She brings down the house in

the reprise of Let Me Sing and Im

Happy, first sung by Martha.
The show is loaded with memorable
tunes. Besides those already mentioned, there are Sisters, Count
Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,
How Deep Is the Ocean and Ive Got
My Love to Keep Me Warm.
Then theres the title song, heard in
both acts, each time with the audience
invited to sing along.
Besides being such an enjoyable,
well done show, the production marks
the welcome debut of Hillbarns new,
more spacious restrooms along with
new offices and a refurbished lobby.
White Christmas will continue at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale
Blvd., Foster City, through Dec. 21.

giving one to someone else is like
saying, I want to spend quality time
with you and play this. Second of all,

Fast-paced games especially, like
