OBAMA, BOEHNER MAKE PROGRESS IN TALKS

The restaurant at Petes Harbor, as
much a staple of the Redwood City
marina as the live-aboard tenants,
will soon close after nearly 40 years
of serving meals, hosting celebra-
tions and giving many in the com-
munity their rst job.
The Waterfront Restaurant, for-
merly known as the Harbor House,
will reportedly close Sunday, Dec.
23. The restaurant is closed for busi-
ness Monday and owners Pepe and
Dunia Rodriguez could not be
reached to conrm the actual clo-
sure date. However, the restaurant is
serving out its last days regardless
as part of the overall plan by Petes
Harbor owner Paula Uccelli to sell
the land for development into water-
front residences. A majority of the
boat tenants have already left and
any remaining will be evicted in
January. Opponents of the develop-
ment plan are appealing the
Planning Commissions permit
approval but, regardless of the Jan.
28 decision by the City Council, the
evictions and the restaurant closure
will stand.
The restaurant has operated under
its current name since April 2002
when the Rodriguezes bought it
from Pete and Paula Uccelli. But the
restaurant itself dates back nearly
40 years. Pete Uccelli opened the
21-acre privately owned harbor on
former swamp land in 1958 and
decided he needed a place for his
tenants and visitors to eat. He rst
opened a tiny dockside hamburger
stand followed in 1973 with the
Harbor House Restaurant.
Uccelli and several workmen built
the restaurant themselves, a true
labor of love, Paula Uccelli said.
Without as many restaurants in
downtown Redwood City as now,
the Harbor House became a destina-
tion point and hangout for the com-
munity, she said.

Three members of the Coastside
Fire Protection District will face a
recall election April 9, 2013, San
Mateo County Elections Manager
David Tom told the Daily Journal
yesterday.
President Doug Mackintosh,
Director Mike Alifano and Director
Gary Riddell are facing recall for
their efforts to re-establish a stand-
alone re department on the coast
and ditch its contract with the
California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection.
The board voted at its Dec. 12
meeting 3-2 to hold the election in
April with directors Gary Burke and
Ginny McShane voting to hold the
election sooner as the re districts
contract with Cal Fire expires June
30, 2013.
In the recall election, voters will
likely be asked: Do you want to
recall Alifano, and if so, who should
replace him.
Alifano plans to campaign vigor-
ously to keep his seat, he previously
told the Daily Journal.
Cal Fire proponents say a stand-
alone re department will be too
costly and short-staffed and are
emboldened by a San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury report that indicat-
ed Cal Fire serves the coast well.

As the public process begins in
earnest tonight to settle the fate of a
just opened 7-Eleven store, residents
in the San Mateo Heights neighbor-
hood demonstrated in front of the
convenience store yesterday evening
to protest its presence in the predomi-
nately residential neighborhood.
The 7-Eleven secured the nal
approvals from San Mateo two weeks
ago and is now open in a spot once
occupied by the Stangelinis Italian
Deli & Hilltop Market on land that is
technically zoned residential.
Tonight, the Planning Commission
will start a public hearing process to
determine whether permits issued to
the developer of the property were
done so in error. Ultimately, the City
Council will take up the topic.
Fred and Kathy Furrer, who live
around the corner from the 7-Eleven,
were joined by about a dozen others
last night to protest the store.
The Furrers are concerned about
trafc and safety in the area since
large delivery trucks park on San
Mateo Drive and block the views of
oncoming trafc.
And although the store does not
currently sell beer and wine, it will
eventually, Fred Furrer said.
Voluntarily closing its doors from 2
a.m. to 5 a.m. also does little to satis-
fy the neighborhoods concerns, he
said.
San Mateo resident John Chiappe
was also protesting in front of the
store last night.
Someone fell asleep at City Hall to
let this happen, Chiappe said. Or
they fell asleep on purpose, but that is
conjecture.
Stangelinis was considered a legal
non-conforming use for the land and
the city is now set on a process to
determine whether the 7-Eleven is
also a legal non-conforming use for
the property. Since the former deli
went out of business in 2010, the city
determined six months later, based on
city code, that the market use had
been discontinued and that housing
was an appropriate use for the proper-
ty at 501 N. San Mateo Drive, near the
Burlingame border and a few blocks
from San Mateo High School.
Competing legal opinions, howev-
er, from within the San Mateo City
Attorneys Ofce were enough for
city planners to issue building permits

NASA names moon crash
site in honor of Sally Ride
PASADENA A pair of NASA space-
craft were deliberately crashed into a
mountain near the moons north pole on
Monday, ending a mission that peered into
the lunar interior.
Engineers commanded the twin space-
craft, Ebb and Flow, to re their engines
and burn their remaining fuel. Ebb
plunged rst followed by Flow about 30
seconds later.
Afterward, NASA said it had dedicated
the impact site in honor of mission team
member, Sally Ride, the rst American
woman in space who died earlier this year.
By design, the spot was far away from the
Apollo landings and other historical sites.
Rides sister, who huddled in the NASA
control room for the nale, said it might be
time to dust off Rides rst telescope to
view the newly named site.
We can look at the moon with a new
appreciation and a smile in the evening
when we see it knowing that a little corner
of the moon is named after Sally, the Rev.
Bear Ride said in an interview.
Since the crash occurred in the dark, it
was not visible from Earth. The Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter circling the moon
will pass over the mountain and attempt to
photograph the skid marks left by the
washing machine sized-spacecraft as they
hit the surface at 3,800 mph.
After rocketing off the launch pad in
September 2011, Ebb and Flow took a
roundabout journey to the moon, arriving
over the New Years holiday on a gravity-
mapping mission.
Hollywood hacker
sentenced to 10 years in prison
LOS ANGELES A federal judge sen-
tenced a hacker to 10 years in prison on
Monday after he broke into the personal
online accounts of Scarlett Johansson,
Christina Aguilera and other women and
posted revealing photos and other material
on the Internet.
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero sen-
tenced Christopher Chaney after hearing
from a tearful Johansson in a videotaped
statement.
The case included the revelation that nude
photos taken by Johansson of herself and
meant for her then-husband Ryan Reynolds
were leaked online.
I have been truly humiliated and embar-
rassed, Johansson said. I nd Christopher
Chaneys actions to be perverted and repre-
hensible.
Prosecutors said Chaney, 35, of
Jacksonville, Fla., also targeted two women
he knew, sending nude pictures of one for-
mer co-worker to her father. The judge noted
the damage to the women was in some ways
worse than what Chaneys celebrity victims
endured.
The women, identied in court lings
only by initials, wrote in letters to Otero that
their lives have been irreparably damaged
by Chaneys actions. One has anxiety and
panic attacks; the other is depressed and
paranoid. Both said Chaney was calculated,
cruel and creepy.
Its hard to fathom the mindset of a per-
son who would accomplish all of this,
Otero said. These types of crimes are as
pernicious and serious as physical stalking.
Prosecutors were seeking six years
imprisonment, but Otero said he was con-
cerned that Chaney would not be able to
control his behavior and had shown a cal-
lous disregard for his actions.
Electronic thief gets 20 years
FORT WORTH, Texas A judge in Fort
Worth has sentenced a man identied as a
member of a California-based gang of elec-
tronic thieves to 20 years in prison for put-
ting devices inside gasoline pumps to steal
customers debit and credit card informa-
tion.
Aleksandr Goukasian was convicted in
June of several charges, including unlawful
use of electronic communications and pos-
sessing an intercept device.
Tarrant County prosecutors say the 53-
year-old was among several from a
Glendale, Calif., ring who placed their
skimmers in pumps in Mojave, Calif., Las
Vegas, Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth to
amass 38,000 card numbers and passwords.
Customers were bilked of $280,000.
Goukasians sentence, imposed Monday,
runs concurrently with a six-month federal
sentence for a related conviction. He
becomes parole eligible in seven years.
Two partners are awaiting trial in
Houston.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Extending and possibly increasing two parcel
taxes that support the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District could be on a future
ballot as ofcials consider studying their
options.
Currently, Belmont-Redwood Shores has two
parcel taxes. Measure G, a $96 a year parcel tax
for 10 years, passed in 2004. It generates about
$1.2 million annually. In 2008, voters passed
Measure U, a seven-year $78 annual tax that
brings in about $950,000 per year. Both will end
by the 2015-16 school year. On Thursday, the
board will continue discussions about extending
and/or increasing those measures. If the board
wants to go forward, it can also vote Thursday to
enter into contracts to study the possibilities.
Moving forward could mean approving a
$26,600 contract with Godbe Research to con-
duct focus groups about a possible parcel tax
measure. Also, the board will consider a contract
up to $36,000 with TBWB Strategies for con-
sulting services to assist in completing a voter
opinion research project.
The district began talking about the possibili-
ty of a new measure in 2011. A poll completed
late last year showed a moderate base of voter
support for a parcel tax measure. However, with-
out support strong enough to pass such a meas-
ure, the polling companies suggested the district
initiate a public outreach effort before consider-
ing placing something on the ballot a goal
which the district has been pursuing since.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 at
the District Ofce, 2960 Hallmark Drive,
Belmont.
Belmont-Redwood Shores considers new tax
A Pacica man accused of stabbing and beating his friend with a ham-
mer more than 50 times at his fathers home pleaded not guilty to mur-
der and two weapons charges.
Marc Anthony Furlan, 24, appeared in court to enter a plea in the death
of 24-year-old Keith Coffey. He will schedule a
preliminary hearing at the end of next month.
Furlan and Coffey were acquaintances and
reportedly argued before Coffeys Oct. 17 death.
Prosecutors say Furlan killed Coffey in the Dell
Road house and dragged the body outside before
trying to clean the scene. Two tenants ed the scene
and contacted police who found Coffey in front of
the home around 5:15 a.m. Furlan was reportedly
trying to dispose of the body when police arrived
and had left a wide swath of blood from the house
to outside.
Furlans father was not home at the time of the incident. Furlan
remains in custody without bail.

Womans death investigated
A 35-year-old womans death in
Redwood City Sunday night is being
investigated by police since there was
no obvious cause of death, police Lt.
Sean Hart told the Daily Journal last
night.
Police and paramedics responded to
a home on the 1100 block of Second

reports of an unconscious female,
according to Redwood City police.
When rst responders arrived on
scene they located the unconscious
female inside of an apartment and
attempted to resuscitate her but were
unsuccessful, according to police. The
victim was pronounced dead at 11:31
p.m. Redwood City detectives are
investigating the circumstances sur-
rounding the death. The cause of death
is unknown at this time and an autopsy
is pending, according to police.
San Mateo police warn of
downtown auto break-ins
Police in San Mateo are telling resi-
dents to secure their vehicles after a
series of recent auto burglaries were
reported in the downtown area.
At least four auto burglaries took
place since last weekend in which bur-
glars smashed car windows to gain
access to valuables that were visible
from, police said.
Auto break-ins increase around the
holiday season when people are out
shopping, police said.
Police are advising all residents to
make sure vehicles are locked, and also
to keep valuables out of cars or stowed
out of plain sight.
To stay on top of potential crimes, the
police department recommends pro-
gramming their dispatch telephone
number into cellphones.
San Mateo police dispatch can be
reached at (650) 522-7700.

Men seriously injured after
truck crashes into tree off 280
Two men were seriously injured when their small truck went off
the road on southbound Interstate 280 in Millbrae Monday morn-
ing, according to a California Highway Patrol ofcer.
The crash was reported around 10 a.m. when the truck went off
the right-hand shoulder near Larkspur Drive and hit a call box,
CHP Ofcer Art Montiel said.
The truck then went about 20 feet down an embankment where
it hit a tree before coming to a rest, Montiel said.
The truck cabin then caught re, trapping the two men inside.
The men, both in their 40s, suffered major burns and other
injuries. They were transported to a hospital.
A Sig-alert was issued at 10:33 a.m. when two lanes were
blocked by the accident. Around noon the lanes reopened,
Montiel said.
Man out on bail for meth allegedly caught
with meth after gas station coin theft
A man was arrested after stealing coins from a San Carlos
gas station register early Monday morning was released on bail
for possession of methamphetamine just three hours before,
according to the San Carlos Bureau of the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
At approximately 12:40 a.m. Monday, the man, identied as
Charles Patrick Bell, 47, of Foster City, allegedly entered the
convenience store at Holly Gas & Diesel Station at 907 Holly
St. in San Carlos and asked for a pack of cigarettes. When the
clerk turned his back, Bell allegedly reached over the counter
and grabbed some coins from the register and walked out of
the store, according to police.
Deputies responded to the scene within 40 seconds of the
initial call and detained Bell. He had a usable amount of
methamphetamine and a glass smoking pipe on him, according
to police.
The gas station clerk declined to press charges, according to
police.
Bell had been arrested the previous day by sheriff's deputies
Dec. 16 for possession of methamphetamine. He had been
released on bail from the Maguire Correctional Facility only
three hours prior to committing this crime. Bell was subse-
quently arrested and booked back into the Maguire
Correctional Facility, this time for possession of methamphet-
amine, possession of drug paraphernalia and committing a
felony while on bail, according to police.
Man found shot dead between cars

Navarro Balderas lying between two parked cars. He had been
shot multiple times.
The East Palo Alto man was pronounced dead at the scene,
police said.
No motive or suspects have been identied.
Police continue to investigate the shooting and anyone with
information is encouraged to call (650) 321-1112, or to leave

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
In the wake of the massacre at an elementary school in
Connecticut, police in Oakland and San Francisco were
overwhelmed with people handing over rearms at gun buy-
back events this weekend, San Francisco police Chief Greg
Suhr said Monday.
Nearly 300 guns were brought to the event on Saturday at
the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco on Saturday while
about 300 more were brought to Saint Benedicts Church in
Oakland, Suhr said.
We far exceeded whatever we thought we could get ...
based on all the other gun buybacks, he said.
Residents who turned in a working, unloaded gun received
$200 per gun on up to three guns, but because of the high
volume of guns handed over, roughly half of the people had
to be given vouchers for the money and organizers are cur-
rently looking for funding sources to pay them, Suhr said.
The chief said the high numbers were likely attributed to
the shooting that left more than two dozen students and staff
dead at an elementary school a day earlier, a case Suhr called
unimaginable.
He said, Were doing everything we can make sure that
those things don't happen ever again anywhere.

On Thursday, the South San Francisco
Unied School District Board of Trustees
held its annual rotation. Philip Weise is pres-
ident and Liza Normandy is vice president.
Last week, the Burlingame Elementary
School District Board of Trustees held its
annual rotation. Davina Drabkin is now pres-
ident and Greg Land is vice president.
A convicted sex offender once
committed to a state hospital as a
violent predator will stand trial for
allegedly exposing himself to a 6-
year-old girl at a Christmas tree lot
in Colma.
Allan Wayne Meaney, 67, has
pleaded not guilty to felony charges
of indecent
exposure and
child annoyance
along with a
mi s demeanor
charge of hit-
and-run for
allegedly crash-
ing his car while
fleeing the
childs scream-
ing mother. He
was held to answer on all counts and
comes back to court Sept. 2 to enter
a Superior Court plea and possibly
set a trial date.
Colma police arrested Meaney, of
South San Francisco, Dec. 1 at his
home after he left the tree lot. A
mother looking at trees with her
daughter reported seeing Meaney
standing a few feet from them and
grabbing his genitals through the
open zipper of his pants. When the
mother yelled at Meaney and
grabbed at his jacket to hold him for
authorities, he pulled away and ran
to his car with the woman in pursuit
screaming for help, according to
prosecutors.
Meaney allegedly got into his car
but crashed into another vehicle,
giving a clerk at the tree lot the
opportunity to write down his
license plate number.
Meaney has several prior convic-
tions for sexual abuse against chil-
dren and was once detained at a
state facility as a mentally disor-
dered sex offender, a term now
replaced with the label sexually vio-
lent predator. The determination
allows the court to order a convict
held beyond his or her prison term if
they meet certain criteria and are
considered to remain a danger.
Meaney remains in custody on
$100,000 bail.

Missing 77-year-olds
body found in Richmond
VALLEJO The body of a miss-
ing 77-year-old man believed to
have fallen into the waters off Mare
Island has washed ashore.
Police say a hiker came across
Philip Mattinglys body at the Point
Pinole Regional Shoreline park in
Richmond on Sunday. He was posi-
tively identied at the Contra Costa
County Coroners Ofce.
An autopsy determined the cause
of death to be drowning. Vallejo
police say there were no signs of
foul play.
Mattingly, a retired mechanical
engineer, had been helping clean
debris from a World War II warship
docked on Mare Island when his son
reported him missing on Dec. 9.
Authorities deployed dive teams and
patrol boats, but were unable to
locate Mattingly.
Santa Clara supes to
consider credit card rules
SAN JOSE Santa Clara
County ofcials are set to consider
new rules for county-issued credit
cards in the wake of allegations that
a supervisor used his for personal
expenses.
The San Jose Mercury News
reports (http://bit.ly/U7CvmS) that
the proposals are scheduled to go
before county supervisors on
Tuesday. Among other changes,
they would strip supervisors of their
credit cards if they failed to le
itemized receipts and require credit
card expense reports to be submitted
to an open session board of supervi-
sors meeting.
Audits have accused Supervisor
George Shirakawa of billing taxpay-
ers for golf fees, casino stays and
upgraded rental cars and allowing
his staff to charge thousands of dol-
lars in donations to a county-issued
credit card.
Shirakawa has agreed to reim-
burse some of the disputed funds,
but is challenging others.
He has said he is the victim of a
personal attack.

SUTTER CREEK The gold miners
who made California famous were the
rugged loners trying to shake nuggets
loose from streams or hillsides. The ones
who made the state rich were those who
worked for big mining companies that
blasted gold from an underground world of
dust and darkness.
The last of the states great mines closed
because mining gold proved unprotable
after World War II. But with the price of
the metal near historic highs, hovering
around $1,700 an ounce, the rst large-
scale hard rock gold mining operation in a
half-century is coming back to life.
Miners are digging again where their
forebears once unearthed riches from eight
historic mines that honeycomb Sutter Gold
Mining Co.s holdings about 50 miles
southeast of Sacramento. Last week, mill
superintendent Paul Skinner poured the
rst thin stream of glowing molten gold
into a mold.
Nothing quite like it, murmured
Skinner, who has been mining for 65
years.
It was just four ounces, culled from
more than eight tons of ore, but it signaled
the end of $20 million worth of construc-
tion and the pending start of production.
The company announced the ceremonial
rst pour before nancial markets opened
Monday, marking the mines ofcial rein-
carnation.
By spring, the companys 110 employ-
ees expect to be removing 150 tons of ore
a day from a site immediately north of the
old Lincoln Mine, enough to produce near-
ly 2,000 ounces of gold each month.
The company projects reserves of more
than 682,000 ounces of gold worth more
than $1 billion at todays prices. Company
ofcials say they are condent there is far
more in their historically rich section of the
120-mile-long Mother Lode region of the
Sierra Nevada foothills.
Reopening the mine has been anything
but a gold rush, however.
It took three decades for the mines oper-
ators to obtain more than 40 environmental
permits. By contrast, the old Wild West
miners wreaked such devastation that they
prompted some of the nations rst conser-
vation efforts nearly 130 years ago.
Weve gone from no regulation to prob-
ably the other extreme, said Bob
Hutmacher, the companys chief nancial
ofcer.
In recent decades, most of Californias
gold has come from the states desert
regions. However, high gold prices recent-
ly spurred what authorities say was a rogue
surface gold mine in El Dorado County,
east of Sacramento. The owners now face
criminal charges.
Farther north, several mines have started
the process to reopen. Most of these kinds
of hard rock mines have recently been
known more as tourist destinations, includ-
ing the Empire Mine, which was once the
states largest hard rock mine. It became a
state historic site after it closed in 1956.
Molten gold signals Mother Lodes revival
Judge considers sex
offenders social media
SAN FRANCISCO Even child sex
offenders have free speech rights.
The question for a federal judge
Monday was whether those rights can be
limited by a voter-approved requirement
that registered sex offenders turn over
vital online information such as social
media passwords, usernames and
Internet service providers to law-
enforcement ofcials.
U.S. District Judge Thelton
Henderson didnt say much during the
nearly three-hour hearing in San
Francisco, giving no indication of how
he will rule in the coming weeks.
Henderson earlier put that provision of
Proposition 35 on hold pending the out-
come of a lawsuit led by two convicted
sex offenders represented by the
American Civil Liberties Union and the
Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The ACLU and EFF argue the rule
violates their clients free speech rights
because it prevents them from express-
ing their views anonymously like other
Web surfers. The lawyers also argue that
the requirement will chill or dis-
suade sex offenders who have served
their sentence from exercising their free
speech rights online.

NEWTOWN, Conn. Opening a long and
almost unbearable procession of grief, Newtown
began burying its dead Monday, laying to rest
two 6-year-old boys one who was crazy about
the New York Giants and one whose twin sister
survived the rampage.
Two funeral homes lled with mourners for
Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto, the rst of the 20
children killed in last weeks school massacre to
receive funerals. The gunman also killed six
adults at Sandy Hook Elementary, and his moth-
er in her home, before committing suicide.
A rabbi presided at Noahs service, and in
keeping with Jewish tradition, the boy was laid
to rest in a simple brown wooden casket with a
Star of David on it.
If Noah had not been taken from us, he
would have become a great man. He would been
a wonderful husband and a loving father,
Noahs uncle, Alexis Haller, told mourners,
according to remarks he provided to The
Associated Press. Both services were closed to
the news media.
Noahs twin, Arielle, who was assigned to a
different classroom, survived the killing frenzy
by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, an attack so horri-
fying that authorities could not say three days
later whether the school would ever reopen.
Newtown, a community of 27,000 people,
will face many more funerals over the next few
days, just as other towns are getting ready for the
holidays.
I feel like we have to get back to normal, but
I dont know if there is normal anymore, said
Kim Camputo, mother of two children, 5 and 10,
who attend a different school. Ill denitely be
dropping them off and picking them up myself
for a while.
Beyond Newtown, parents nervously sent
their children back to class in a country deeply
shaken by the attack, and in a measure of how
the tragedy has put people on edge, schools were
locked down in at least four places.
As investigators worked to gure out what
drove Lanza to lash out with such fury and
why he singled out the school federal agents
said he had red guns at shooting ranges over the
past several years but there was no evidence he
did so recently as practice for the rampage.
At Jacks Christian service, hymns rang out
from inside the funeral home, where the boy lay
in an open casket. Jack was among the youngest
members of a youth wrestling association in
Newtown, and dozens of little boys turned up at
the service in gray Newtown Wrestling T-shirts.
Ten-year-old Luke Wellman remembered a
boy who loved football and wrestling and wor-
shipped Victor Cruz, the star wide receiver for
the Giants. Cruz played in Sundays game with
Jack Pinto My Hero written on one of his
cleats.
Luke said: Im here to support my teammate
and friend.
A mourner, Gwendolyn Glover, said the serv-
ice carried a message of comfort and protection,
particularly for other children. The message
was: Youre secure now. The worst is over, she
said.
At Noahs funeral, the boy was described a
smart, funny and mischievous child who loved
animals, Mario Brothers video games and tacos.
I will miss your forceful and purposeful little
steps stomping through our house. I will miss
your perpetual smile, the twinkle in your dark
blue eyes, framed by eyelashes that would be the
envy of any lady in this room, his mother,
Veronique Pozner, told mourners, according to
Haller.
Most of all, I will miss your visions of your
future. You wanted to be a doctor, a soldier, a
taco factory manager. It was your favorite food,
and no doubt you wanted to ensure that the
world kept producing tacos, she said, evoking
laughter from the crowd.
Connecticut funerals begin
WASHINGTON The White House
says curbing gun violence is a complex
problem that will require a comprehensive
solution including addressing gun control
measures.
Still, spokesman Jay Carney says gun
control is not the only solution to stopping
shootings like the horrific attack at a
Connecticut elementary school Friday. He
says no single piece of legislation or single
action will fully address the problem.
Obama has said he is going to use the
power of his ofce to tackle gun violence.
Carney says the president will engage the
American people and lawmakers on this
issue in the coming weeks, as well as meet
with law enforcement ofcials and mental
health professionals.
Carney did not offer any specic policy
proposals or timeline for tackling gun vio-
lence.
White House:
Gun violence a
complex issue
SACRAMENTO A California
lawmaker said Monday that he will
introduce gun control legislation aimed
at strengthening the states restrictions
in the wake of the mass shooting at an
elementary school in Connecticut.
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco,
said he is considering broader changes
to state law on everything from the
b a c k g r o u n d
checks required
to purchase
weapons to stor-
age regulations.
Yee, who is a
child psycholo-
gist, said he hopes
the mass shooting
at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown,
Conn., which killed 20 young children,
will lead to greater support for closing
what he called loopholes in existing
state law.
We must reinstate the federal assault
weapon ban and close the bullet button
loophole that has severely weakened
Californias assault weapon ban, Yee
said in a statement.
The so-called bullet button loophole
allows gun manufacturers to sell
weapons in California with magazines
that can be removed and replaced
quickly using a simple tool known as a
bullet button. The buttons get around
the states ban on detachable magazines
that can be used to swiftly reload a rie
or shotgun.
A second lawmaker, Sen. Ted Lieu,
D-Torrance, announced plans Monday
to reintroduce legislation aimed at forc-
ing schools to be better prepared for
emergency situations such as a gunman
on the loose. Lieu said data from 2009
showed that more than half of public
middle schools in Los Angeles either
had no safety plan, had an outdated
plan, or had failed to review the plans
with school staff.
Yee promises action on gun control

Letters to the editor

J
ust as they did following the Aurora,
Colo. and Virginia Tech shootings,
debates on the access to rearms will
once again come to the forefront of the
national dialogue.
Obfuscating the real issue
contributing to these
tragedies, including the
horric one last week,
can no longer be accept-
ed. We need to deal with
the lack of adequate men-
tal health care in our
country.
Individuals who com-
mit spree killings are mentally disturbed,
but they also carefully plan their strategy
over time time during which friends, fam-
ily and colleagues very often note signs of
distress, delusion or isolation. Had there
been the necessary help available, such tragic
occurrences could very well have been
avoided. But help, as these individuals and
their families have found, is becoming
increasingly hard to nd and access.
Between 2009 and 2012, there has been
$4.35 billion cut from public mental health
spending. Because of these drastic cuts, there
are fewer and fewer options available for
people with severe mental illness, or their
families. This is especially true in situations
such as our recent tragedies where mental ill-
ness services have been cut.
With proper care and treatment, recovery
happens. There is a dire need for funding for
programs that can provide the services that
can make the difference between recovery
and tragedy. As a country, we cannot afford
to let one more person fall through the
cracks. Grieving parents, families and friends
of those innocent victims deserve our efforts.
Lets start by talking about mental health
and eliminating the stigma. Stigma makes it
too easy to deny this most critical social
issue. And lets bring the need for more men-
tal health funding to the forefront of the
national dialogue. Its not just about the
guns. Its about the health and future of
America.

Mental Health in San Mateo. He lives in

Recent shooting tragedy
Editor,
In the wake of Fridays tragic shooting many
people are quick to push their gun control
agenda. I believe adding more laws will not
make a difference, we need to quit focusing on
the tool that is being used and instead focus on
the person using the tool.
This tragedy again points out there are many
people who need healing in our world; we do
not need more laws, we need more focus on
healing people physically, mentally, emotion-
ally and spiritually. Many people are very ill,
we need to put our money where our mouth is
and invest in healing people to have a healthy
and functioning society.
I contend this will do far more to reduce these
acts of violence that all of the laws in the entire
world
George Wooster

Modernize the Second Amendment
Editor,
It is time to have gun owners carry liability in-
surance and a yearly taxation on the weapons
they own or have in their possession. In addi-
tion, assault weapons should not be available
to anyone, but this is unlikely to occur so the
liability insurance and yearly taxation should
be increased accordingly. Gun safety courses
should be attended and reviewed yearly with
an emphasis on securing weapons and proof
that weapons are secured in a gun safe that is
not easily carted away.
Its time to write the president and governors,
Congress and local statewide legislators, with
some laws that limits the number of weapons
one has and to increase taxation and liability
for anyone having more than one weapon. The
U.S. Supreme Court suggested recently we can
have some measure of control without elimi-
nating the Second Amendment. That courts
suggestion was not dened, but conservative
justices indicated that the Second Amendment
was not sacrosanct. In addition, our Founding
Fathers were not able to see into the future the
country that differed so much from the current
history to that date.
Jack Kirkpatrick
Redwood City
The Second Amendment
Editor,
In response to Patrick Fields letter in Satur-
days Daily Journal about guns, does he realize
that the other side of gun possession has saved
as many folks and property because the in-
tended victim had access to that gun? But
youll never see or read about it because it
doesnt sell papers.
Only tragedies sell papers. I can name dozens
from Chicopee, Mass. and Kenosha Wisc. , to
Durant, Okla. Forming ones opinion or ideol-
ogy from one source is a fools journey. The
citizenry must never surrender their rearms,
thats the only way to keep the tyrant or dicta-
tor at bay. The founders knew that and thats
the reason it is part of the Second Amendment.
His in todays world things have changed
and the right to bear arms is no longer appro-
priate. Things have changed, and not for the
better. But in his own statement he included
right to bear arms. Thats my right you are
trying to surrender. Ive a better way, Mr.
Field, get all that garbage off of television, the
school ground for our kids. But youll defend
your First Amendment but you want to elimi-
nate my Second Amendment. Shame on you,
Field.

Board betrayal
Editor,
We feel betrayed by the board, we helped you
when you needed us. Translation, we feel be-
trayed by Don Horsley, Adrienne Tissier and
Carole Groom. Im leaving Rose Jacobs Gib-
son out because she is a non-issue and Im
leaving out Dave Pine out because he just got
slapped by Don Horsley Nov. 20 when he tried
to make a simple presentation on the whistle-
blower plan the civil grand jury recommended
10 years ago. Thank you Rebecca Nassare for
taking the time to show up and say those words
at the Dec. 11 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Your statement is accurate you have been be-
trayed by these supervisors, but this is not the
rst time, it is the third time.
1). Sheriffs deputies 3 percent increase;
2). Controller 11 percent increase; and
3). Manager 11 percent increase.
I would also note that both controller and
manager were completely unnecessary. I
would also suggest that you and all union
members were also betrayed by Shelley
Kessler and Bill Nack who did not show up
and made no public statement on the outra-
geous and unnecessary salary increase.

Mental health care in our country
Beyond why
T
here are never any right words. After
every mass shooting, after every sig-
nicant violent event really, we try to
nd the proper way to sum up the anguish and
explain the unexplainable. But no message ever
feels tting and no turn of phrase brings any
measurable comfort.
Yet, despite knowing the insurmountable
task, I and other writers try wrangling the sense
of helplessness and outrage into the written
form for those without such a public forum.
When Christmas trees remain lled with gifts
never to be opened and the holiday season is
forever blackened, uffy pieces about orna-
ments and snarky
commentary about
the scal cliff feel
inappropriate. The
expressions may
not come anywhere
near doing justice to
the unthinkable sit-
uation but it feels
like that is the only
topic that should
that can be
addressed.
Unfortunately,
history continues
providing ample opportunity to try over and
over again. During my tenure as a Daily
Journal columnist, this space has included
thoughts about the tragedies of Virginia Tech,
Columbine and Cleveland Elementary School
in my hometown of Stockton. Peppered in
between these events were mentions of com-
munities whose senseless gun violence may
have faded a bit from immediate recollection
with the passing of each year the school
shootings of Cazenovia, Wis., Pearl, Miss.,
Jonesboro, Ariz. and Bailey, Colo. Then there
was the Amish school shooting of Nickel
Mines. Jared Loughners rampage at Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords meet-and-greet in Tucscon,
Ariz. The Dark Knight theater massacre in
Aurora, Colo. And now, Sandy Hook
Elementary in Newton, Conn.
If there is any common theme to each new
piece about a shooting, it is the plea that each
column on such violence be the last and the
suggestion we all hold our loved ones a little
tighter. Theres frankly not much more to say
because the only word on anybodys tongue is
the question, Why? Every sentence beyond
that point is little more than a feeble explana-
tion that there is no immediate answer and may
never be one that provides any rationale or sol-
ace.
This isnt to say the world remains mum. In
the absence of the right words, the public lls
the void of information with nger pointing
and hypothesis, demands and calls to action.
Leaders ask for patience and understanding but
the knee-jerk reactions are a given. The shooter
was mentally ill. The mother stockpiled guns.
The nation needs stricter gun laws. The county
must do better by its mentally ill. Teachers
should have guns. Nobody should have guns.
Schools should have locks.
Long-simmering debates are up. Political
lines dig in deeper. Emotions run the gamut
and the only thing on which the majority agrees
is that something must nally be done. The
challenge is determining what exactly that
something should be.
I dont profess having the insight to add my
two cents to that conversation. All I know right
now is that there conversations to eventually be
had across a wide spectrum of issues. Lets just
hope those discussions, difcult and lengthy as
they will be, actually occur rather than falling
victim to time and whim as really they have so
many previous times. It would be naive to
believe there will never be another mass shoot-
ing to shake our faith and bruise our humanity.
But its not beyond hope to think we should try.
Why? will always be the most common
word after a day like that at Sandy Hook. The
word we need to immediately say next is
enough.

Good time for pickup
buyers as GM sweetens deals
DETROIT General Motors is offering
generous deals on Chevy Silverado and GMC
Sierra pickup trucks after they piled up on
dealer lots.
GM is matching or beating discounts from
rivals Ford and Chrysler this month. It miscal-
culated in November when it reduced incen-
tives and truck buyers went looking elsewhere
for sweeter deals.
The three Detroit automakers have been
vying for new truck business all year as the
market continues a slow rebound from the
Great Recession. Experts say buyers can now
get discounts of $4,500 or more on some of
the best-selling vehicles in the country. Throw
in low interest rates, sweet lease deals and
abundant nancing and its a good time for
people who are in the market for a truck.
GM is offering up to $9,000 off remaining
2012 models pickups and close to $4,500 off
2013s, while the other automakers have either
held steady or raised incentives on certain
models. Dealers say Chryslers average incen-
tive is around $5,000, while Fords is less,
around $4,000.
That means good deals on Fords F-Series
pickup, the top-selling vehicle in America, as
well as the Silverado, which ranks second.
Together, the Detroit Three control 83 percent
of the U.S. full-size pickup truck market.
Apple sells 2M iPhone 5s
in China in first three days
NEW YORK Apple said Monday that it
sold more than 2 million iPhone 5s in China in
their rst three days of availability, setting a
record for that market.
IPhone 5, which launched in China on
Friday, will be available in more than 100
countries by the end of December.
The phone rst went on sale on Sept. 21 in
the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and ve
other countries, with more than 5 million of
the phones sold in the rst three days.
That sales tally also set a record, but only
beat last years iPhone 4S launch by a small
margin, falling short of some analysts expec-
tations. Apple shares hit an all-time high of
$705.07 that day, but in the months since the
stock has plunged about 26 percent.
Bangladesh probe: Fire
sabotage, owner negligent
DHAKA, Bangladesh A Bangladesh
government committee investigating the gar-
ment factory re that killed 112 people last
month said in its ndings Monday that the
blaze was sabotage, probably by someone
who worked there.
But the panel said that no matter who set the
re, the owner of the factory also should be
punished for the deaths because he neglected
worker safety.
If someone is responsible for such a huge
number of deaths, thats him. He has failed to
ensure safety, committee head Mainuddin
Khandaker said of factory owner Delwar
Hossain.
Some government and garment industry
ofcials had alleged soon after the Nov. 24 re
that it was an act of sabotage, though a re
ofcial said casualties would have been great-
ly reduced if the factory had followed safety
rules.
The factory lacked emergency exits and
Hossain has said only three oors of the eight-
story building were legally built. Surviving
employees said gates had been locked and
managers had told them to go back to work
after the re alarm went off.

NEW YORK Stocks rose on Wall
Street as investors were encouraged by
signs of progress in budget talks in
Washington. Just two weeks remain
before tax increases and government
spending cuts take effect if no deal is
reached.
On the oor of the New York Stock
Exchange, stock traders paused for a
minute of silence at 9:15 a.m. EST to
remember the 20 children and seven
adults killed Friday in a gunmans ram-
page through a Connecticut elementary
school.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
100.38 points to 13,235.39, its biggest
gain this month. The Standard & Poors
500 index climbed 16.78 points to
1,430.36 and the Nasdaq composite
index rose 39.27 points to 3,010.60.
Marc Chaikin, CEO of the
Philadelphia-based market research rm
Chaikin Analytics, said investors became
more hopeful for a resolution in the budg-
et talks after House Speaker John
Boehner made an offer to increase tax
rates on high-income Americans.
The scal cliff is obviously foremost
on everyones mind, Chaikin said.
Banks were among the best-perform-
ing stocks. Citigroup gained $1.55, 4.1
percent, to $39.15 after Raymond James
raised its target price on the stock to $52
from $44. In a note to clients, the broker-
age reafrmed its Strong Buy rating,
citing the improving fundamental out-
look. Bank of America also gained 42
cents, or 4 percent, to $11.
Investors are currently favoring nan-
cial stocks over technology stocks, said
Ben Schwarz, chief market strategist at
Lightspeed Financial.
The banks are ripping today,
Schwarz said. People are looking for
stability and the tech sector hasnt given
them any.
Financial companies make up the best
performing industry group in the S&P
500 this year, according to FactSet data.
The group, which includes banks such as
Wells Fargo & Co. and insurers such as
Travelers, has gained 25 percent this year.
Apple rose $9.04, or 1.8 percent, to
$518.83 after the company said it sold
more than 2 million iPhone 5s in China in
their rst three days of availability, set-
ting a record for that market. The tech-
nology giants stock has fallen 26 percent
since it closed at a record $702.10 in
September and is trading close to its low-
est since February.

BOSTON Morgan Stanley, the
lead underwriter for Facebooks trou-
bled public stock offering, has agreed
to pay $5 million to Massachusetts
securities regulators after they
accused it of disclosing a revenue
shortfall only to certain analysts and
not the general public.
According to state regulators, a
Morgan Stanley banker organized
phone calls between Facebooks
treasurer and the analysts of major
underwriters to relay revenue figures
that werent included in revised doc-
uments Facebook Inc. filed with U.S.
securities authorities on May 9,
about a week before the initial public
offering of stock.
The numbers were lower than what
many analysts had expected and
caused them to revise their annual
revenue estimates down about 3 per-
cent below the $5 billion that
Facebook had earlier forecast for
2012, according to Massachusetts
officials.
The renewed estimates were
available to investment banks but
not individual investors who
bought into one of the most highly
anticipated initial public offerings
of stock in history.
Main Street investors were put at
a significant disadvantage to Wall
Street, Massachusetts Secretary of
the Commonwealth, William Galvin,
said in a press release Monday.
Facebook shares were priced at
$38, the top of a projected range, but
finished the first day of exuberant
trading barely above its initial public
offering price, at $38.23. Since then,
shares have failed to return to that
lofty valuation. On Monday, they
closed down 3 cents at $26.78, about
30 percent below the IPO price.
Morgan Stanley didnt admit guilt
but agreed to be censured and pay the
fine. Spokesman Wesley McDade
said in a statement that the company
was pleased to have put this matter
behind us.
Morgan Stanley is committed to
robust compliance with both the let-
ter and the spirit of all applicable reg-
ulations and laws, he said.
In October, Massachusetts Galvin
also slapped Citigroup with a $2 mil-
lion fine after one of its analysts
leaked information to a popular tech-
nology blog that was supposed to be
private until 40 days after Facebooks
IPO. The employee was fired.

Economic growth
predicted for 2013
WASHINGTON Business economists
believe the country will see modest growth in
2013 with strength coming from a further
rebound in housing which will help offset weak-
ness in business investment.
In its latest survey of top forecasters, the
National Association for Business Economics
says it is looking for the economy to grow in
2013 by 2.1 percent after 2.2 percent growth in
2012. That would continue the same tepid
growth the country has seen since the Great
Recession ended in mid-2009.
Growth at that pace is not strong enough to
make a signicant improvement in unemploy-
ment. The NABE economists believe unemploy-
ment will average 7.7 percent for all of next year,
right at the level it reached in November.
The 48 NABE economists on the survey panel
had essentially the same outlook as their previ-
ous forecast in October. While they have modest
expectations for 2013, they do see growth slow-
ly improving as the year progresses.
The economists forecast growth in the gross
domestic product, the economys total output of
goods and services, at 1.6 percent in the current
October-December quarter, down from 2.7 per-
cent growth in the July-September period. Part of
that slowdown, the economists believe, will
reect the disruptions caused by Superstorm
Sandy, which slammed into the Northeast on
Oct. 29.

CONSISTENCY IS THE WORD: RAIDERS LOOKING TO BUILD FROM SUNDAYS 15-0 SHUTOUT >>> PAGE 13
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Even those who follow Peninsula Athletic
League basketball regularly have started the
2012-2013 season by glancing at Westmoor
High School box scores and scratching their
heads a bit.
Who is this Fernandez kid?
And to be perfectly honest, Errol Fernandez, a
senior guard, would take no offense if you didnt
know who he was.
But consider the start of this basketball season
as a bit of an education. The man who had to sit
through his junior season because of an ACL
injury, and therefore began this campaign off
everyones rader, has arrived and began his sen-
ior year on an absolute tear.
Hes very, very hungry as a fourth-year guy
not getting to play his junior year just being a
leader, said Westmoor head coach Herb
Yaptinchay. Hes gone out there and focused,
which has really shown with his performances.
Hes been a big reason why were doing so well
this year.
The Rams are off to a 7-1 start including a 3-
0 stretch last week when Fernandez stepped up
and out onto the PALs center stage. The ques-
tion mark that was Fernandezs game prior to the
start of the 2012 campaign is dissolving into an
exclamation point with every one of his per-
formances. In those three wins, Fernandez
scored almost 23 points per game.
For his efforts, Fernandez is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Caragher introduced as SJSU Spartans coach
By Rick Eymer
SAN JOSE Bay Area native Ron
Caragher is back home.
Caragher, who was introduced as the new
football coach at San Jose State on Monday,
still has family in nearby Morgan Hill and
plans to be in the area before boarding a plane
to watch the Spartans play at the Military
Bowl in Washington, D.C. two days later.
This is a homecoming for me, Caragher
said. I used to attend
Spartan camps in the
summer and as a high
school player I watched
games and played in
games at Spartan
Stadium.
Caragher, who spent
the past six years at San
Diego, replaces Mike
MacIntyre to become the
28th coach at the school. He signed a ve-year
contract a week after MacIntyre left to take
the head job at Colorado. The Spartans n-
ished the regular season 10-2.
Things were up in the air when we didnt
know much, Spartans quarterback David
Fales said. We nally have a coach again and
we can get back to work.
Caragher replaced Jim Harbaugh, who is
coaching the San Francisco 49ers, at San
Diego, where he compiled a 44-22 record
with three conference championships. Hes
also been an assistant coach at UCLA,
Kentucky.
Harbaugh learned Monday afternoon that
San Jose State had hired Caragher, and called
him a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful guy
and coach.
I would stop back down there when I was
in San Diego. Talked on the phone many
times and just through players who were still
there at USD, Harbaugh said. Like I said
when Id be recruiting in San Diego Id

Bears swimming
pool to have new
look come spring
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The waters at Menlo-Atherton High School
will have a different look starting with the
upcoming spring swim season.
The Menlo-Atherton athletic department
hired a pair of new coaches last week with
Giovanni Napolitano taking over in boys
water and Lori Heisick Stenstrom becoming
the new boys and girls swimming coach in
2013.
Im really excited to be a part of the coach-
ing family, Stenstrom said. Ive lived in
Menlo Park since 1999 and its been really
exciting to be in the position to pour back into
this community the community that I
love.
Stenstrom comes to M-A with an extensive
background in competitive swimming.
Stenstrom was a 17-time All-American and
NCAA Champion at Stanford University. She
was also a member of the USA National Team
for seven years, medaling for the United
States in the Pan Pacic, Pan American and
World University Games. Stenstrom was a
USA Olympic Team Alternate, placing third
in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100 Meter
Breaststroke. She also had the distinct honor
of being a member of four American record

Winter season is
picking up steam
Sure its been cold outside, but the winter
season in high school prep sports is heating
up.
On the boys soccer pitch, none is hotter
than Sacred Heart Preps Robert Hellman.
The man with the golden foot is coming off
a seven-goal week.
First, Sacred Heart Preps Brendan Spillane
had a great overall game for the Gators in a 3-
1 win over Archbishop Riordan as well
having a hand in all three SHP goals. His
penalty kick opened up the scoring and he fol-
lowed that up with a pair of assists.
But Hellman is denitely in another zone
right now. He scored twice against Riordan
and two days before that, put up a four-spot
on Kings Academy.
The Gators went up 3-0 in the rst half
behind a pair of Spillane goals in the TKA
game. Then Hellman exploded for his four

ALAMEDA Jamaal Charles
had nowhere to run, Brady Quinn
was under pressure all day and the
Oakland Raiders defense posted its
most statistically dominating per-
formance in decades.
Coach Dennis Allen said that kind
of game proves what the Raiders are
capable of defensively when they
play to their ability. The key now is
doing that more often.
Weve proven that we can do it at
times, but weve got to be more con-
sistent at it, Allen said Monday.
That will be our challenge moving
forward.
So far the Raiders (4-10) havent
proved much more than they can
shut down the lowly Chiefs (2-12)
and Jaguars (2-12). In three wins
against the NFLs two worst teams,
Oakland has allowed 13 points and
209 yards allowed per game.
Against the rest of the NFL, the
Raiders have given up 33 points and
414.9 yards per game.
But Allen is less worried about the
quality of opponent than the gaudy
numbers his defense delivered. The
Raiders held Charles to 10 yards
rushing on nine carries, sacked
Quinn four times and allowed just
119 yards of total offense the
fewest for the team since 1975.
It all added up to Oaklands rst
shutout since the 2002 regular season
nale.
I think its important any time
you get that opportunity. Its tough to
shut anybody out in this league,
Allen said. To get the shutout, to
hold the team to 10 yards rushing
which is a franchise record, a team
that was a top-ve rushing team in
the NFL this year. I think that was
huge for our defense. I think that was
a good condence builder. Now we
have to continue to build on that.
The Raiders have two more
chances to duplicate that kind of per-
formance as they end the season with
trips to Carolina and San Diego.
Oakland also hopes that its run-
ning game can build on one of its
best performances after rushing for a
season-high 203 yards against the
Chiefs. The Raiders had 45 carries in
the game their most in more than
two years with Darren McFadden
running for 110 yards on 30 carries
and Mike Goodson getting 89 on 13
runs.
Thats the formula Allen wants the
Raiders to follow each week.
I think we all saw that when we
execute that game plan the way that
we feel like were capable of execut-
ing it, we have a chance to win
games, he said. I thought our
defense played outstanding yester-
day and I thought we were able to
run the ball effectively against them.
So that will be a key for us moving
forward.
The game also marked the season
debut for third quarterback Terrelle
Pryor. The former Ohio State star
had been on the eld just once in his
rst two seasons, committing a false
start before the snap on his only
other chance last season.
Raiders seek consistency on D
As agree to sign SS Nakajima
OAKLAND Two people with
knowledge of the negotiations say
the Oakland Athletics have agreed
to sign shortstop Hiroyuki
Nakajima of Japans Seibu Lions.
The people spoke on condition of
anonymity Monday because there
had yet to be a formal announce-
ment. The AL West champion As
called a news conference for
Tuesday afternoon described as a
major announcement.
Nakajima agreed to a $6.5 mil-
lion, two-year contract. The deal
also includes a $5.5 million option
for a third season, one of the people
said.
Nakajima, a seven-time Pacic
League All-Star, has a .302 batting
average with 149 home runs, 664
RBIs and 134 stolen bases over 11
seasons with Seibu.
Sports brief
49ers have late momentum after Patriots win
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim
Harbaughs San Francisco 49ers
hung tough late in the game to stun
Tom Brady and the New England
Patriots on the road and in the rain
to clinch a playoff berth when few
expected them to win at
Foxborough.
Now, after a long trip home fol-
lowing their 41-34 victory, the
Niners (10-3-1) must play a second
straight game on the Sunday night
prime-time stage when they visit
Seattle trying to wrap up a second
consecutive NFC West crown.
This is a huge win for us, left
tackle Joe Staley said. With Seattle
winning, we had to win this game. It
felt like a playoff game.
The Seahawks (9-5) have scored
108 points in their last two games
a 50-17 win at Buffalo on
Sunday after a 58-0 rout of Arizona
a week earlier so everybody
knows it will be another important
test for San Franciscos stingy
defense.
The 49ers certainly have some
momentum coming down the
stretch in late December as they
gear up for another postseason run,
one they hope goes one step further
than their overtime loss to the even-
tual champion Giants in last
Januarys NFC title game.
Beating Brady and Co. didnt hurt
as San Francisco prepares for the
games that matter most.
It is real big
and it says a lot
about this team
to travel across
the country and
play a late
game, and in
their environ-
ment with cold
and rain, said
c o r n e r b a c k
Carlos Rogers, who intercepted a
pass by Brady midway through the
rst quarter and ran it back 53 yards
to the Patriots 5. I am pretty sure
everybody picked us to lose. It just
seems every time we get on
Thursday night, Sunday night, or
Monday night, we show up and that
is what we did. We stuck with our
plan and we knew it was going to be
tough coming in. We just had to stay
poised, stay ghting and play phys-
ical. ... Offense put up the points
and we got the win.
Several of the 49ers said Sundays

Yaptinchay said of his guard heading into
this season. Obviously, when you play as
freshman on the varsity team, no matter what
school youre at, you have a lot of expecta-
tions and a lot of hope that youll develop by
your senior year and be the kind of player that
he is. But we werent sure, coming back from
an ACL injury. You dont know how youll
react. But fortunately, hes done a good job.
Yaptinchay attributes part of Fernandezs
injury to a schedule saturated with basketball.
Being hurt forced Fernandez to take a step
back and reevaluate his future as a basketball
player. After a full recovery, and a focused
objective, Fernandez has hit the court running.
A lot of it is focus, Yaptinchay said. Hes
probably the most focused player we have on
the team. He has a lot of condence. And I
think having a year off, watching his team per-
form last year, we struggled as a team ... so
when hes sitting on the sideline and saying. I
should be out there, helping my teammates
out, I think its kind of realized how important
this year is for him.
With Errol, having been injured last year, I
think he really realizes, Hey, I really have to
focus in, I have to compete because this could
be my last game. A lot of seniors dont realize
that until the last half, last third, of the season.
I think thats the biggest contributor.
Fernandez contributed 19 points in a win
against Capuchino High School in the weeks
rst game. He then went off for 28 in a win
against Balboa of San Francisco. The cherry
on top was a 21 point output against Burton-
San Francisco on Saturday.
He has a knack of making his teams better
not just by the performance on the court, but
his leadership quality, Yaptinchay said. He
keeps them emotionally and mentally
engaged. When they (young players on the
team) look at who they want to aspire to be,
they look up to Errol and Wai Min (the Rams
other leader). When they look at Westmoor
basketball, thats who they look to be. And
that comes directly from one of our sopho-
mores. Thats what you hope for, that every
player becomes a Errol.
The Rams thrive off Fernandezs desire and
competitive nature. And on a team that cur-
rently has zero players over 6-feet tall on the
roster, running an all-guard rotation, its the
size of their collective heart that has fueled a
7-1 start.
Hes a huge part of our team now,
Yaptinchay said. Hes going to have to be a
huge part of our team if were going to be
successful the remaining months of the sea-
son. Hes going to have to do everything hes
doing now and maybe a bit more. What I
mean by more, when he came in, I dont think
any one realized who he was. He wasnt a
known commodity. Now, everyone is going to
be scouted us, theyre going to know, theyre
going to be like, Who is this guy? Hes
going to get a lot more attention. So, hes
going to have to learn not only how to pro-
duce offensively and defensively, but also
take it to the next level and say, I have to
make others better.

Mets trade Cy Young
winner Dickey to Blue Jays
NEW YORK R.A. Dickey tweeted his
own trade Monday, with the NL Cy Young
winner thanking New York Mets fans for their
backing and saying he was all set to pitch for
the Toronto Blue Jays.
Now that its ofcial, I want to say that I
dont have the words to express how grateful I
am to you for the steadfast support, Dickey
posted on Twitter. Thank you for making me
feel wanted.
Looking forward to a new chapter with the
Jays, he wrote.
Toronto acquired the 38-year-old knuckle-
baller and catchers Josh Thole and Mike
Nickeas. The Mets got top catching prospect
Travis dArnaud and catcher John Buck, plus
minor league right-hander Noah Syndergaard
and outelder Wuilmer Becerra.
Sports brief
always stop by the trailer and see if anybody
was there. Rons been up here recruiting in the
Bay Area when I was over at Stanford. Wed
run into each other. Great guy. Great guy,
great family. My son will be disappointed.
Hes friends with Rons son. They go to the
same high school. But thats great. Great hire
by San Jose State.
He talked to us a team, Fales said of
Caragher. From everything Ive heard hes a
down-to-earth person who really cares about
his players.
Caragher attended Bellarmine Prep in San
Jose before going on to UCLA, where he
spent four years as a backup quarterback.
Being at San Diego, we would recruit the
Bay Area, Caragher said. Ive always come
up every December and I had a trip planned
this year. Northern California has been very
good to us and I hope it can continue to be
good.
San Jose State athletic director Gene
Bleymaier said Caragher was always an
option as a potential candidate.
I have followed Coach Caraghers career
for some time, said Bleymaier, who came to
San Jose State from Boise State. Ive always
hoped I would have the opportunity to hire
him here at some point. Little did I know it
would be so soon.
Bleymaier said the selection committee vet-
ted about 10 candidates and brought in ve
for formal interviews.
What impressed me about Ron was every-
thing, Bleymaier said. From his reputation,
his background, his local roots, it was a total
package.
Caragher has been nominated for the Eddie
Robinson Coach of the Year, which recog-
nizes the top coach in the Football
Championship Subdivision.

EVANSTON, Ill. Brittany
Boyd and Talia Caldwell helped No.
8 Cal overcome a noisy gym and
some lousy shooting.
Boyd scored 18 points and
Caldwell added 16 to help beat
Northwestern 71-65 Monday, send-
ing the Wildcats to their fourth
straight loss.
This was a game we can take a
lot away from, Cal coach Lindsay
Gottlieb said. I really credit
Northwestern coming off some
injuries and some rough games.
Their spirit was up, they executed,
they played well and the crowd was
phenomenal.
The game, which started at 11 in
the morning, was played in front of
4,958 fans, largely from Chicago
area schools, and the vocal crowd
made it difcult at times for the
Golden Bears.
This is exactly why you schedule
games like this, Gottlieb said. To
be on the road in a tournament-like
atmosphere and have to respond to
adversity.
Gennifer Brandons three-point
play with 3:04 left put Cal (8-1)
ahead for good. The Golden Bears
made 26 for 64 (39.1 percent) from
the eld.
Brandon had 11 points and 10
rebounds and Layshia Clarendon
scored 11 for Cal.
We had so many opportunities to
win this game and Cal made some
big plays in the last three minutes,
Wildcats coach Joe McKeown said.
I just loved our effort and intensity
but we had a few breakdowns here
and there that they exposed.
Karly Roser scored 16 points and
Dannielle Diamant had 15 points
and 12 rebounds for Northwestern
(6-4). Lauren Douglas added 14 for
the Wildcats in their fourth straight
loss.
I dont think that the early start
affected us at all, Gottlieb said. I
thought our energy level was great.

medley relays. While at Stanford, Stenstrom
was coached by the legendary USA
Swimming Hall of Fame coach Richard
Quick. Stenstrom originates from Edina,
Minn. where she was also a four-year high
school All-American and U.S. National High
School record holder.
High school [athletes are] one of my
favorite groups of people, Stenstrom said. I
think theyre such great years of change and I
look forward to the opportunity of mentoring
these kids and helping them navigate through
their high schools years because to me, Im so
passionate with swimming but its so much
more than just swimming to me its about
helping these kids grow as people and help
shape them into the people they will become.
Stenstrom coaching career began locally at
Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics (PASA), the
fourth ranked USA swim team in the country.
At PASA, she worked with swimmers ranging
from novice all the way up to junior national
level.
Ive gotten nothing but positive feedback
from the community and the kids so far,
Stenstrom said. I know a lot of the kids per-
sonally from living in the community and their
parents. So, its fun to touch base with those I
do already know. But, Ive been overwhelmed
with the positive response that M-A, and me
personally, has gotten from taking this job. Its
been a really good opportunity.
I think with any new experience come its
own challenges, she said. I dont foresee
anything that is insurmountable. Ive coached
a full range of ability and a diverse group as
well. Thats what makes a school like M-A so
fun. You have both ends of the spectrum as far
as I can see and everything in between. And
thats exciting.
On the water polo front, Napolitano takes
over following the retirement of legendary
coach Dante Dettamanti, who led the Bears to
the 2012 Peninsula Athletic League title and a
Division I runner-up position in the Central
Coast Section playoffs.
Napolitano grew up playing water polo in
Italy and played professionally for many
years. Among his many accomplishments as a
professional player are winning titles in the
European League and the European Comen
Cup and he was a Most Valuable Player of the
Italian League.
Napolitano began his coaching career with
C.C.Ortigia in Italy in 1994 and led his 14-
under squad to ve straight Italian National
Championships.
In the United States, he coached locally at
Woodside and Palo Alto High Schools before
re-joining the M-A staff in 2012 as the head
junior varsity coach and assistant varsity
coach.
Spillane assisting on one of those.
Hellman wasnt quite done. In a Saturday.
5-2 win over Harbor High School, he added
another plus a pair of assists.
BOYS BASKETBALL
The Westmoor boys continue to impress
during the non-league portion of the
Peninsula Athletic League schedule. In beat-
ing Capuchino, Errol Fernandez scored 19
points and Wai Min added 15. Capuchino got
solid efforts from Zach Khotz, who scored 12,
and Magni who added 12.
The Rams then followed that victory with a
68-48 thrashing of Balboa-San Francisco.
Fernandez blew up again, scoring 28 point
in the win.
Fernandez and the Rams werent done yet.
In a 74-64 win over Woodside, Fernandez
score 21 points. Min had 17.
The Rams are now 7-1.
Woodsides Mitchell Hickman scored 30
points in the loss.
Henry Caruso scored 23 in Serra High
Schools 72-26 win over Menlo-Atherton at
the Merv Harris Classic. His effort followed a
17-point night against Burlingame High
School in the annual rivalry game. Jaqui
Biggins added 19 including ve 3-pointers at
the Merv.
Sacred Heart Prep got a double-digit effort
from Corbin Koch in a 62-50 loss to St.
Ignatius-San Francisco. And in a big test
against St. Mary-Berkeley, Koch had another
solid scoring effort with 10 points, albeit in a
60-50 loss. Ricky Galliani led the way with 14
points.
The Carlmont High School boys basketball
defense was on point in a 43-22 drubbing of
Burton-San Francisco and a 61-41 victory
over Yerba Buena.
They shutout Burton in the rst quarter and
held them to single-digit quarters the rest of
the game. Yash Malik paced the Scots with
nine points.
And against Yerba Buena, a five-point
clamp-down in the second quarter propelled
the Scots to a win.
Malik led Carlmont in scoring again with
12 points.
Hillsdale moved to 5-2 last week with a 54-
52 win over Overfelt High School and a 57-47
victory over South City. The Knights got great
scoring efforts from Stevie Hasegawa (15
points), Chris Arshad (22 points) and Angelo
Bautista (31 points) during that stretch of
baskeball.
Dominic Tanouye-Wolf, who was absent
from the Overfelt score sheet, scored 12
points in the win against SSF.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
San Mateo High Schools Alana Simon is
off to a quick start. The San Mateo superstar
scored 28 points in the Bearcats 55-47 win
over Mercy-San Francisco and a day later,
scored 39 points in a thrilling, double-over-
time loss to Sacred Heart Prep. Caroline
Cummings scored 12 points in that game to
pace the Gators.
Becca Grigg of Notre Dame-Belmont
scored 10 points in the Tigers 36-33 loss to
Terra Nova. Megan Smith added six points
and eight steals.
Riley Hemm and Melissa Holland were a
lethal 1-2 punch for the Gators in a 62-55 win
over Evergreen High School. Hemm led SHP
with 14 points while Holland scored 13.
GIRLS SOCCER
Menlo School and Palo Alto High School
played to a 2-2 tie. It was a game of two very
different halves as Menlo controlled the rst
half with a strong team effort and Paly took
charge in the second half.
Menlo created many scoring opportunities
early on and then jumped on top in the 10th
minute on a curling 20 yard beautiful shot just
inside the far post by Priya Medberry. In the
24th minute, Alexandra Walker sent in a cross
that Elena Gray knocked in from10 yards out.
Menlo led 2-0 at halftime.
Menlo goalkeeper Julia Dressel played well
in the rst half nishing with 4 saves.
Jessica Parque scored a pair of goals, both
assisted by Michaela Brady, in leading Notre-
Dame Belmont over Kings Academy. Both
scored came in the rst half before the 13th
minute.
She then scored the Tigers lone goal in a 5-
1 loss to St. Francis to kick off West Catholic
Athletic League play.
Alex Bourdillon scored the game-winning
goal in Sacred Heart Preps 1-0 win over
Sequoia. Her score game in the 16th minute.
The Gators followed that win with a 2-0
victory over Castilleja. SHP got goals from
Wheeler and Jager for the Gators second
shutout of the week.
ROLL
BEARS
game felt like a preview of the playoffs
with Brady and the high-flying Patriots
offense against San Franciscos opportunistic
defense.
And this week should be no different when
the Niners play in what is largely considered
the loudest road venue in the NFL against
a team ghting to secure a playoff spot.
Harbaugh is all for his team being tested late
in the season.
I think that could be a positive, the coach
said Monday. I think the thing that the play-
ers were feeling and probably anybody that
was watching it was feeling was that theyre
two teams that two very good teams, two
hard-hitting teams have a lot of pride in
how they play, really came out to see whos
better, and wanted to be better and wanted to
win that game. And it showed. This game will
be the same, I really believe that. We need to
prepare.
San Francisco turns its focus to slowing
down a surging Seattle team led by rookie
quarterback Russell Wilson while also keep-
ing hold of the NFCs No. 2 seed in an effort
to secure a rst-round playoff bye. Atlanta
holds the top spot at 12-2, while Green Bay is
right behind the Niners at 10-4.
Running back Frank Gore considered the
game at New England a must-win, and will
treat this week the same way.
Yeah, we had to, we had to, Gore said.
We put ourselves in a situation where we had
to win out and we knew that it was going to be
tough coming down here and getting a win
against a great team, especially a team that
had a great game last week.
Harbaugh was quick to credit his coaching
staff Monday for using the cross-country
ight home not to sleep or watch a movie but
rather study game lm, from Sunday night
and also some preliminary work on the
Seahawks. San Francisco beat Seattle 13-6 in
the 49ers division opener on Oct. 18.
Harbaugh watched Sundays game again,
noting that the Niners had chances to get off
the eld during the Patriots stretch scoring 28
unanswered points.
Watched the entire game, offense, defense
and special teams and work on Seattle,
Harbaugh said. Its a pretty impressive thing.
Ive never been associated with a team like
this, where the coaching staff is its like a
work station in the back part of the plane. The
computers are on, nobody is watching movies
and not a lot of sleeping going on. Really
impressed with our guys the way they do that.
And the players too, they had laptops and
were watching the game in groups and then
eventually fell off to sleep.
Defensive tackle Justin Smith underwent an
MRI exam on his injured arm, which forced
him to miss the fourth quarter Sunday night.
Its really going to be how he is today,
tomorrow, Wednesday, before we know any-
thing, Harbaugh said.

HEALTH 17
By Hrovje Hranjski
MANILA, Philippines
Philippine legislators passed a land-
mark bill Monday that would pro-
vide government funding for contra-
ceptives and sexuality classes in
schools despite strong opposition by
the dominant Roman Catholic
Church and its followers, some of
whom threatened to ask the Supreme
Court to block the legislation.
The Senate and the House of
Representatives passed different ver-
sions of the bill, which languished in
Congress for more than a decade as
legislators avoided colliding with the
inuential church. The two versions
will have to be
r e c o n c i l e d
before President
Benigno Aquino
III has an oppor-
tunity to sign the
legislation.
In a scene con-
sidered unusual
just a few years
ago, lawmakers
openly defied
the churchs stand during the plena-
ry voting, which was shown live on
nationwide TV.
The Catholic church has stead-
fastly opposed the (reproductive
health) bill for 13 years, said Sen.
Miriam Defensor-Santiago, a key
proponent. But I humbly submit
this afternoon that there is no force
more powerful than an idea whose
time has come.
Aquino, who certied the bill as
urgent, considers it a major step
toward reducing maternal deaths and
promoting family planning in the
impoverished country, which has
one of Asias fastest-growing popu-
lations. Church leaders said in a pas-
toral letter Sunday that if passed, the
bill would put the moral ber of the
nation at risk.
Archbishop Socrates Villegas,
vice president of the Philippines
Bishops Conference, said that the
wide and free accessibility of contra-
ceptives will result in the destruction
of family life.
Money for contraceptives can be
better used for education and
authentic health care, he said,
adding that those who corrupt the
minds of children will invoke divine
wrath on themselves.
The long delay in the bills pas-
sage has been attributed to politi-
cians fear of upsetting conservative
Catholic bishops, who helped mobi-
lize popular support for the 1986
people power revolt that toppled
dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the
2001 overthrow of another presi-
dent, Joseph Estrada.
But in a sign of changing times
and attitudes, particularly across
generations, reformist civil society
groups and Aquino threw their
weight behind the bill despite the
threat of a backlash.
An independent survey in June
last year found that 68 percent of
respondents agreed that the govern-
ment should fund all means of fami-
ly planning. An October survey of
600 teenagers in Manila, the capital,

LONDON The ght against
malaria is slowing down amid a dra-
matic drop in efforts to reverse the
epidemic, even as health ofcials
insist they will try to meet their ide-
alistic target of virtually eliminating
deaths from the parasitic illness by
the end of 2015.
Malaria causes symptoms includ-
ing fever, chills, and vomiting and
can kill if not treated early. It main-
ly strikes children under 5, mostly
in Africa.
In 2010, about 145 million bed
nets were given out across Africa to
protect people against the mosqui-
toes that spread the killer disease.
Last year, that fell to about 66 mil-
lion. The number of homes in Africa
sprayed with pesticides has also
stalled, as have attempts to treat
pregnant women, one of the high-
risk groups.
While the malaria death rate has
fallen by a quarter since 2000, of-
cials say further improvements are
in jeopardy.
We must act with urgency and
determination to keep this tremen-
dous progress from slipping out of
our grasp, Dr. Margaret Chan,
WHOs director-general, wrote in a
report released Monday. WHO
blamed falling donations and said
the $2.3 billion invested in malaria
programs in 2011 was less than half
of what was needed.
The agency estimated there were
about 219 million malaria cases and
660,000 deaths in 2010. But there
were only solid data from countries
representing just 15 percent of cases
worldwide; the remaining cases and
deaths were largely based on esti-
mates and modeling. There was no
solid information on countries with
the biggest outbreaks, including the
Democratic Republic of Congo and
Nigeria, which account for about 40
percent of global malaria deaths.
WHO acknowledged there was a
large degree of uncertainty about
its gures.
There are a lot of blind spots in
surveillance, said Jorgen Stassijns,
a malaria adviser at Doctors
Without Borders who was not con-
nected to the report. He thought
efforts against malaria might be
sluggish because of the nancial cri-
sis or donors prioritizing other
health campaigns.
In a lot of our work in the eld,
we dont see malaria going down,
Stassijns said, citing clinics in
Congo, Niger and Sierra Leone.
Some said the stalled progress
wasnt unexpected.
Africas malaria fight losing steam

THE ASSOCIATE PRESS
The killings at a Connecticut elementary school
left parents struggling to gure out what to tell
their children.
President Barack Obama said he and his wife,
Michelle, would tell their daughters that they love
them and hug them a little tighter. Experts say
thats a good example to follow. Parents also
should allow children to talk about their feelings in
the coming days while sheltering them from the
24/7 media coverage of the event, they say.
A man gunned down more than two dozen peo-
ple Friday, most of them kids at a Newtown,
Conn., elementary school. The shooter was
among the 28 people left dead, apparently from a
self-inicted wound.
The international organization Save the
Children, headquartered only 20 miles from where
the killings occurred in Newtown, opened up a
child friendly space in the community to give
local children a place to play while their parents
seek counseling and support.
The group said parents and other adults should
listen to children carefully, reassure them, give
them extra time and attention, be a model for them
of sensitivity to others, and help them return to
their normal routine.
Clergy members had similar advice for those
who turned to them for help. Added Rev. Linda L.
Grenz on the Episcopal Rhode Island Diocesan
News website: ...if your child doesnt want to talk
about the events at all, they may not need to talk
and you might just take a walk with them or read
them a book or give them a hug to let them know
you care.
Whitney Finucane wasnt sure how and when
she would talk with her son, Nico, about the shoot-
ing. She kissed and hugged him when he came out
from kindergarten at Dr. Martin Luther King
Elementary in Providence, R.I., on Friday.
I dont know how to explain insanity and evil
to a 5-year-old, she said. I dont know that he
can really grasp it.
Even the youngest schoolchildren are likely to
hear about it, said Glenn Saxe, chairman of the
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at
NYU Langone Medical Center.
Its really important, especially at this time, for
parents to check in with their kids, to be attuned to
how theyre feeling, how theyre doing, and to
answer questions honestly and straightforwardly,
he said. For any other kid in school, this has
meaning. Parents need to understand that even in
surprising ways, this can affect their kids.
Parents can start by asking their children what
theyve already heard and what questions they
have, said Dr. David Schonfeld, a pediatrician and
director of the National Center for School Crisis
and Bereavement at Cincinnati Childrens
Hospital Medical Center. If they ask why someone
would do something like this, its OK to say you
dont know.
I wouldnt provide false reassurance or dismiss
legitimate concerns, he said. We dont help chil-
dren by telling them they shouldnt be afraid of
things that are frightening.
Parents can tell their kids, What is most impor-
tant is that youre safe and youre going to be safe,
said Dr. Louis Kraus, chief of child and adolescent
psychiatry at Rush University Medical Center in
Chicago.
Above all, parents need to try to help their chil-
dren feel safe, he said. Helping kids return to or
maintain normal routines can help minimize their
anxiety, Kraus said.
Some children may ask the same questions over
and over as a way to seek reassurance, and parents
shouldnt dismiss them, said Dr. David Fassler, a
child and adolescent psychiatrist in Burlington, Vt.
Acknowledge and validate the childs thoughts,
feelings, and reactions. Let them know that you
think their questions and concerns are important
and appropriate, he said.
Parents of young children should keep their
children from hearing reports on TV, radio, and
social media and to closely monitor exposure to
media for all children, several experts said.
Children who show persistent signs of anxiety and
stress, including recurring nightmares or sleep
problems and fears about leaving home, should
see their pediatrician or a mental health expert,
Kraus said.
While parents might feel the need to teach their
children what do in such an emergency, the next
few days is not the time to develop or bring up
your familys disaster preparedness or to teach
your young children to dial 911, Saxe said.
Right now, kids sense of safety and security is
shattered, Saxe said. Its very good parenting
practice, in general, to have a kid know what to do
in times of emergency, but it undermines the
immediate message that youre trying to convey.
Schonfeld said if children bring it up them-
selves, you can talk about whats being done to
keep them safe.
As students head back to their classrooms on
Monday, parents and children should know that
school shootings are rare and schools still are
among the safest places, said William Lassiter of
the Center for the Prevention of School Violence.
Parents can ask their principal or parent-teacher
group for a copy of their school crisis plan.
Notice whether schools stick to their own secu-
rity plans, he said. Do people have to check in at
the door and sign in at the front ofce, for exam-
ple?
A lot of times, the parents are the ones who
need to remind the school, he said.
Schools should have an emergency plan that is
available to parents that explains what the school
will do in various emergencies, such as a re, haz-
ardous materials spill, lockdown or evacuation. It
should also say how the school will communicate
with the parents for example, on its Twitter
feed, Facebook page, website, or by email or auto-
mated phone call, said Kitty Portereld, a spokes-
woman for the American Association of School
Administrators.
From the moment a child starts school, they are
learning safety procedures such as lining up and
following the teacher, she said. School districts in
most major metropolitan areas also hold drills in
which teachers and administrators practice what to
do in a shooting or similar emergency. Most dont
involve children so that they arent upset, but some
do, she said.
Its natural for parents at a time like this to want
to react to Fridays shooting with action,
Schonfeld said, but giving a young child a cell-
phone or keeping them out of school probably will
not help.

also carried out by the Social Weather Stations institute, found
that 87 percent believed the government should provide repro-
ductive health services to the poor.
The United Nations said early this year that the bill would
help reduce an alarming number of pregnancy-related deaths,
prevent life-threatening abortions and slow the spread of AIDS.
The U.N. Population Fund says 3.4 million pregnancies
occur in the Philippines every year. Half are unintended and a
third are aborted, often in clandestine, unsafe and unsanitary
procedures. The fund says 11 women in the country die of preg-
nancy-related causes every day. Nearly 70 percent of women
use no contraception at all.
Reproductive health programs are patchy and often unavail-
able to the poor. Some local governments have passed ordi-
nances banning the sale of condoms and their distribution in
health clinics.
Many Filipino women have faced difculties and sometimes
death because of the absence of a comprehensive and consistent
reproductive health policy. This law can change that, said
Carlos Conde, Asia researcher at New York-based Human
Rights Watch.
Former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, who opposes the bill,
said pro-church groups were considering asking the Supreme
Court to declare the bill unconstitutional. You cannot legislate
anything that is contrary to ones faith, he told reporters.

Israel pushes on with
east Jerusalem building plan
JERUSALEM Israel on Monday said it
was pushing forward with plans to build hun-
dreds of homes in a Jewish settlement of east
Jerusalem, risking renewed tensions with the
Palestinians and its Western allies over the con-
tentious project.
The announcement was part of a new Israeli
settlement push announced earlier this month as
retaliation for the Palestinians success in win-
ning U.N. recognition for a state at the United
Nations. Israel was widely criticized internation-
ally for the settlement plans, though actual con-
struction would be far in the future.
An Interior Ministry committee on Monday
approved an intermediate stage of planning for
the construction of 1,500 apartments in the
Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, a part of the city
Palestinians claim for a future capital. The plan
had been in the pipeline since it was rst
announced in 2010 during a visit to Israel by
Vice President Joe Biden, causing a major diplo-
matic rift with Washington that took months to
mend.
Ministry spokeswoman Efrat Orbach said the
project still must go through several additional
planning stages, and it could be years before
nal approval and construction.
Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, con-
demned the move, calling it a stark challenge to
the entire international community.
There was no immediate American reaction.
Low turnout in Egypts
vote raises questions
CAIRO Just under a third of voters turned
out for the rst stage of the referendum on a con-
stitution meant to be a historic milestone in set-
ting Egypts future a showing critics say
deepens doubts over the legitimacy of a charter
that has already polarized the country.
The dismal showing also raises the question
whether Egyptians have been turned off by the
turmoil that has characterized the countrys pol-
itics throughout the nearly two years since the
ouster of Hosni Mubaraks autocratic regime.
The turnout was the second lowest of the
relentless series of ve nationwide elections that
Egyptians have been called to in the 22 months
since Mubaraks fall in last years popular upris-
ing. The highest was nearly 60 percent in the
election of parliaments lawmaking lower cham-
ber. The lowest was an embarrassing 8 percent
for the vote for the upper chamber, a largely
toothless body that the public cares little about.
World briefs
By David Espo
WASHINGTON Republican
House Speaker John Boehner is
offering to let taxes rise on wealthy
Americans investment income and
dividends as part of a deal to avert
the fiscal cliff, officials said
Monday amid signs that President
Barack Obama is ready to make a
key concession of his own in urgent,
high-level negotiations.
On a day the two men met for
about 45 minutes at the White
House, ofcials said they detected a
receptiveness by the administration
side to proposals to slow the growth
of annual cost-of-living benefits
paid to recipients of Social Security
and other government retirement
programs.
If so, it would show Obamas
willingness to move toward
Boehner in the
secretive talks
that are unfold-
ing against a
year-end dead-
line. Without
legislation to the
contrary, tax
rates will rise for
nearly all wage
earners and
spending cuts will begin at the
Pentagon and in domestic programs
across government.
Economists inside and outside the
government have warned that the
combination of the two could send
the economy into recession.
Other major issues are part of the
negotiations. Without action by
Congress, for example, long-term
unemployment benets will expire
for millions at the end of the year,
and doctors will face a cut in the
payments they receive for treating
Medicare patients.
Democrat Obama has also called
for assistance for hard-pressed
homeowners as well as fresh econo-
mist stimulus measures, and some
Democrats want to include a size-
able amount of disaster aid in any
legislation to offset the cost of
Superstorm Sandy.
Ofcials who disclosed develop-
ments in the cliff talks insisted on
anonymity because they were not
authorized to publicly describe the
secret negotiations.
At the White House, spokesman
Jay Carney sidestepped when asked
about curbing cost-of-living
increases for benet programs. The
president is prepared to make
tough choices. He also understands
that his bill will not, as written, like-
ly be what the nal compromise, if
there is one, looks like, he said.

WASHINGTON Sen. Daniel
Inouye of Hawaii, the inuential
Democrat who broke racial barriers on
Capitol Hill died Monday. He was 88.
Inouye, a senator since January
1963, was currently the longest serving
senator. His ofce said Monday that he
died of respiratory complications at a
Washington-area hospital.
Inouye was a World War II hero and
Medal of Honor winner. He became the

became a state.

Calendar
Big companies like Hewlett-Packard threw parties. Service
clubs met. A lot of engagements and receptions were held. One
actual wedding was even held on the deck.
The restaurant had theme nights Sundays were Mexican
Night, Uccelli remembered and multiple generations held
jobs. At its peak, the restaurant had 102 employees and its
alumni include many in the community, such as former mayor
Dani Gasparini.
It was a real family affair, Uccelli said. And it was a lot of
fun.
Uccelli herself served worked in the ofce but lled in as a
waitress when needed. Her husband was also a jack-of-all-
trades as necessary, serving as busboy or host.
But the restaurant business is from sunrise to sunset and
Uccelli said after a long run Pete wanted to do other things
which is what led to its sale.
Uccelli, 84, died in September 2005, leaving the land to
Paula. Her effort to make good on what she and others say was
his long dream to develop the area is what has now pitted the
tenants against her and Redwood City ofcials. The Planning
Commission on Oct. 30 granted a planned development permit
and parking exception for the proposal by developer Pauls
Corporation to build 411 multi-family housing units in build-
ings between three and ve stories, a community pool and
approximately 263 slips in a private marina. All existing com-
mercial operations at the marina will cease and any future boat
mooring limited to apartment tenants.
Opponents of the idea argue the plan is moving too fast with-
out public input, does away with precious affordable housing
and eliminates a historical and cultural resource of Redwood
City. The groups more recently have said Uccelli owes the
state 28 years of back rent and the area should be included in
the Inner Harbor Precise Plan. Uccelli attorney, Ted Hannig,
said the state never accepted her money which was then placed
into a bank account. They are now trying to resolve the states
request for interest and penalties with the California State
Lands Commission.
But while Uccelli looks to settling the present situation and
seeing through her husbands plan for the future of his harbor,
she certainly has fond memories of the past including the icon-
ic restaurant.
If the walls could talk, she said.

rely on unbudgeted overtime and will cost at least $1.4 million
per year more than Cal Fire over the next ve years, recall pro-
ponents said.
But Mackintosh, Alifano and Riddell contend Cal Fire is not
responsive to the needs of the coast and would be better served
by having a re chief who answers directly to the board.
The recall election in the county will be the rst in Toms 10-
year history of working in the elections ofce, he told the Daily
Journal.
The last time any recall election was held in the county was
in 2003 when Gray Davis, the states former governor, was
ousted from ofce, Tom said.
In my time in the county, I have not been involved in a
recall election, Tom said.
The Coastside Fire Protection District serves Half Moon
Bay, the unincorporated areas of Half Moon Bay and the unin-
corporated communities of Miramar, El Granada, Princeton-
by-the-Sea, Moss Beach and Montara.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire Protection District and
Point Montara Fire Protection District provided service on the
coast but the two consolidated in 2007 to form the Coastside
Fire Protection District.
Marshall Ketchum, who heads the recall effort, wants to stay
with Cal Fire and turned in nearly 10,000 signatures in October
to the County Elections Ofce to have the three directors oust-
ed after they voted in July to form a stand-alone re depart-
ment and to start searching for a new re chief.
Prior to Cal Fires arrival, re departments on the coast were
a costly mess resulting in more than $1.2 million in lawsuit set-
tlements and legal fees as well as high turnover and poor
morale, Moss Beach resident Mike Gaynes previously told the
Daily Journal. Gaynes was one of the early supporters of the
recall effort along with Ketchum.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire Protection District and
Point Montara Fire Protection District provided service on the
coast but the two consolidated in 2007 to form the Coastside
Fire Protection District.
Prior to the consolidation, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District was beset with operational, labor manage-
ment, morale and legal issues, according to the civil grand jury
report released in April.

RECALL
for the property earlier this year since it was determined that the
use may have been discontinued but not intentionally abandoned.
Residents in the area want the store gone because they say it
will attract crime, increase trafc and be a danger to children.
They are also upset with the abrupt end of a public process start-
ed in February when Portfolio Development Partners sought a
zoning code amendment to keep the market use in place.
The competing legal opinion ended that process, however, and
the 7-Eleven opened rather quickly after building permits were
issued.
Mayor David Lim started a process to terminate the legal non-
conforming use of the property but that would have given 7-
Eleven at least two years to operate on the site.
The process the city is undertaking now will determine whether
7-Eleven is indeed a legal non-conforming use of the land such as
Stangelinis was. If it is not, the store will have to close sooner.
Councilman Jack Matthews will have to recuse himself from
the public hearing process since his architectural rm did some
work for Portfolio for the 7-Eleven site.

PROTEST
Matteucci. The student was then put on a 72-hour hold, he said.
We feel fairly condent that he does not have access to
weapons, said Matteucci, who advised parents and kids to
remain vigilant when it comes to possible threats.
Hollerans message said the student will be under supervi-
sion and increased security was at the school on Monday. After
the voicemail went out, several parents called Burlingame
police Sunday with safety concerns.
This isnt the rst time Burlingame High has dealt with a
threat from a student.
Christine Nicole Azzolino sent a threatening email at 2 p.m.
Feb. 10 from a fellow students email account. The boy whose
account the email originated from had his possessions
searched. Police ultimately gured out that Azzolino actually
sent the message from the boys account. It was determined
there was no actual intent to follow through on the threat.
In September, Azzolino, then 19, was sentenced to 15 days
jail, 32 hours of community service and probation for making
false explosives reports. Last month, she was ordered to pay
nearly $5,000 for the cost of the emergency response.

THREAT
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- For reasons over
which theyll have no control, the people whom you
depend on might fail you. Your objective might be
harder to reach on your own, but youll handle it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might have
to guard against doing things in half measures, but
once you realize the stakes at play, hesitation wont
be a problem.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre not
careful, you might be a trife extravagant with your
resources. This is acceptable, provided you arent
equally as generous with someone elses money.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There is nothing
wrong with having some fun and enjoying yourself,
as long as you dont treat serious matters lightly,
especially those pertaining to your career.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be careful about what
you tell others, because if you reveal the wrong
things to the wrong person, instead of unburdening
yourself, you might create more trouble.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be positive and build
up your hopes, but also be realistic, because if you
arent, all youll do is make more misery for yourself.
Dont use your imagination as an instrument of
disappointment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something you thought
to be shoo-in could prove far more diffcult to pull
off than anticipated. This can be an extremely
rewarding day for you if you dont take anything for
granted and put in the work.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You dont want to
hurt anybodys feelings, naturally, but it might be
far kinder to be forthright instead of painting a rosy
picture that leads to false expectations.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Certain commercial
matters could prove to be far more complicated than
they appear, so be prepared for anything. If youre
cautions and prudent, you should do just fne.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you start seeking an
easy out, you might fnd only diffculty. By trying to
duck challenges, you might only create more.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Usually, youre the type
of person who likes to think a few steps ahead of the
game. Keep it up, as careful forethought will be vital
to a successful day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your reasoning
regarding a joint matter is likely to be a shade
sounder than that of your counterpart. Listen to his
or her views, because one could be good, but dont
discount your judgment.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Sheldon W. Abrams
Case Number PRO122917
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Sheldon W. Abrams. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Steven J. Blackwell in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Steven
J. Blackwell be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
203 Public Notices
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 7, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
