Homeowners association fees are
set to rise 21 percent for residents of
Foster Citys Island J development
on top of a recent judges ruling that
each of the communitys 174 prop-
erty owners need to be assessed an
extra $20,000 for necessary repairs.
The judges ruling is considered
to be a bit of a victory for home-
owners, however, as Island Js HOA
board was seeking up to a $40,000
assessment, said Marjorie Murray,
president of the Center for
California Homeowner Association
Law, a nonprofit that counseled
some of the homeowners through
the assessment process.
Construction on the property
could last up to eight months, how-
ever, and some residents are already
listing their homes for sale to try to
avoid the crush of construction.
Considering the high number of
foreclosures in the county, the judge
ruled for a lower assessment,
Murray told the Daily Journal.
HOA dues will also rise from the
current $676 a month to $811, a
backbreaking number for some
residents, Murray said.
Island J, also called The Islands,
is located between Edgewater and
Shell boulevards and accessed by
Catamaran Street.

October was the best month ever
for Caltrain as the agency set a new
high for weekday ridership at
51,716. The numbers are fueled by
playoff and World Series games and
the celebration parade for the San

which added an extra 112,000 riders
to the system for the month.
It was the 27th straight month
Caltrains ridership has increased
and the third time in 2012 the

Jim Nantell had one rhetorical
question during last nights
Burlingame City Council meeting:
Why couldnt I be a little younger
and continue to think I could do this
a lot longer?
Nantell joined Burlingame in
2000 but has offered public service
for 40 years. Last night, Nantell,
who is about to officially take
advantage of his retirement, was
recognized for that dedication.
Much of his career was in San
Mateo but he spent the last 12 years
leading Burlingame.
My only regret in coming to
Burlingame is that I didnt come
sooner, he said.
Mayor Ann Keighran commented
that Nantell has excelled in his posi-
tion treating the city and its staff as
an extended family.
I always felt your strongest char-
acteristic was consensus building.
Sometimes, I dont know how you
did it, she said, pointing to the
Safeway remodel as an example of
his ability to bring polar opposites
to an agreement.
While many people spoke of his
accomplishments, most had person-
al thoughts about Nantells sense of
humor, work ethic, dedication and
community spirit.
Through his 12 years in
Burlingame, Nantell had many
highlights of which he was proud.
Burlingame now has shared re
services that save the city more than
$2 million annually. Sizeable con-
cessions from employees have
allowed the city to balance the
budget. Nantell was proud to note
the creation of $12 million in

Palace says Duchess of
Cambridge expecting a baby
LONDON Get the nursery ready:
Prince William and his wife Kate are
expecting their rst child.
St. Jamess Palace announced the
pregnancy Monday, saying that the
Duchess of Cambridge formerly
known as Kate Middleton has a
severe form of morning sickness and is
currently in a London hospital. William
is at his wifes side.
The palace said since the pregnancy is
in its very early stages, the 30-year-old
duchess is expected to stay in the hospi-
tal for several days and will require a
period of rest afterward.
It would not say how far along she is,
only that she has not yet reached the 12-
week mark.
News of the pregnancy drew congrat-
ulations from across the world, with the
hashtag royalbaby trending globally
on Twitter.
Not only are the attractive young cou-
ple popular with Williams easy com-
mon touch reminding many of his moth-
er, the late Princess Diana but their
child is expected to play an important
role in British national life for decades
to come.
William is second in line to the throne
after his father, Prince Charles, so the
couples first child would normally
eventually become a monarch.
In recent days, Middleton has kept up
her royal appear-
ances recently
playing eld hockey
with schoolchildren
at her former school.
The confirmation
of her pregnancy
caps a jam-packed
year of highs and
lows for the young
royals, who were
married in a lavish ceremony at
Westminster Abbey last year.
They have traveled the world exten-
sively as part of Queen Elizabeth IIs
Diamond Jubilee celebrations and
weathered the embarrassment of a nude
photos scandal, after a tabloid published
topless images of the duchess.
BBC adapting Rowlings
Casual Vacancy for TV
LONDON The BBC says it is
turning J.K. Rowlings rst novel for
adults into a television drama.
The Casual Vacancy is a darkly
humorous saga of modern British life in
which a local council election unleashes
rivalries and resentments in a small
town.
The novel is Rowlings first full-
length book since she finished the
Harry Potter saga in 2007. It was pub-
lished in September to mixed reviews
but topped best-seller charts.
BBC drama controller Ben
Stephenson called
the book an extraor-
dinary tapestry of
modern Britain full
of humor, social
commentary and
above all fantastic
characters.
Rowling said the
BBC was the per-
fect home for her
story.
The BBC said Monday that the adap-
tation is due to air in 2014. The number
of episodes has yet to be decided.
Saving face: Man

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. A northern

R removed from its prominent place

He says a Republican supporter paid
him $15,000 to get the tattoo and keep it
until at least the election was over.
Weeks after President Barack Obama
defeated the former Massachusetts gov-
ernor in the Nov. 6 election, Hartsburg
says now to me it represents not a los-
ing campaign, but a sore losing cam-
paign.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The slightly-tweaked preliminary design
for the second phase of Burton Park renova-
tions is ready for city approval to have final
drawings drafted and construction bids pre-
pared on the $1.15 million project.
The original plan for the park at 900
Chestnut St. in San Carlos includes a stage
with a dance area, two standard-size bocce
ball courts with a storage shack and shaded
seating and new backboard for the basket-
ball courts.
After a series of public hearings for San
Carlos residents and other stakeholders to
offer input, the proposed design now moves
the bocce shed from the main entrance off
Chestnut to the westernmost corner to
improve the sight and aesthetics of the main
entry path, a small water display fountain
was added to the bocce area and the stage
was reconfigured to add steps on either side
and raise the height by five inches. The
minor changes also include the addition of
flowering cherry and crepe myrtle trees at
each entry point to add color. Safety lighting
is included for the paths and stage.
The design comes before the Parks and
Recreation Commission on Wednesday
night to decide if it will recommend the City
Council ultimately approve it and authorize
the creation of construction drawings and
bid documents. If the plan receives the green
light, the notice of competitive bids will go
out in May 2013 with construction starting
in mid-August.
Burton Park is the citys oldest developed
park and is heavily used year-round for
recreation. The park also houses the citys
teen center and Kiwanis Recreation Center.
The park already completed an $850,000
facelift in 2008 that added the countys first
fully inclusive playground compliant with
the Americans with Disabilities Act. The
two-year renovation added ramp access, a
rubbery safety surface and perimeter fenc-
ing.
Fundraising for the second phase is
expected to begin fully in January.
Approximately $15,000 has already been
raised for the chance to name benches, trees
and the dance area in front of the stage
The stage is a key component of the reno-
vation plan, with city officials estimating
drawing 1,200 to 1,500 people based on
attendance at the existing summer concerts.
The San Carlos Parks and Recreation
Commission meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5
at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

The man accused of shooting his sister in
the hand while she tried escaping the South
San Francisco home where he held their
family hostage last fall may be incompetent
to stand trial on two dozen felony charges
including premeditated attempted murder.
Alvin Baja Luis, 56, of San Francisco, is
also charged with residential burglary and
several counts each of felony assault with a
firearm, false imprisonment and making
criminal threats. However, before he could
begin an estimated 10-day jury trial yester-
day, his attorney raised questioned about
Luis ability to aid in his
own defense, said Chief
Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
Court-appointed doc-
tors will now evaluate
Luis to determine if hell
stand trial or be commit-
ted to a state mental hos-
pital for treatment.
Prosecutor say on Nov.
20, 2011, Luis arrived at his sisters home at
521 Spruce Ave. with duct tape, ammunition
and two guns. Luis, reportedly angry about
his deceased mothers estate, is accused of
brandishing a pellet gun and a handgun
toward the seven people inside which
included his two sisters, children and family
friends gathered for a football game. He
reportedly hit one sister in the back of the
head with a weapon, kicked another sister in
the stomach and shot one in the hand when
the group tried escaping out a bedroom win-
dow.
Luis fled to a Carls Jr. in San Francisco
where he was later apprehended. Officers
also reported recovering the weapon and
finding the tape and a bag of ammunition at
the crime scene.
He is in custody without bail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Northern
California residents recovering
Monday from a series of wet, windy
storms likely wont get much of a
break as another system is expected
to drench the area.
Up to 5 more inches of rain could
fall in the region beginning
Tuesday, the National Weather
Service said.
The rain could be especially
heavy at times in areas north of
Redding and across the Sierra
Nevada, meteorologist Dan Keeton
said.
Still, it should be nothing like the
downpours that left between 15 to
20 inches of rain in some areas over
the five-day period that ended
Sunday. Forecasters said the latest
storm left the area faster than
expected.
Its going to be signicant, but
less impactful, Keeton said of the
coming rain. There will be some
isolated impact in certain areas, but
nothing as widespread compared to
what we saw late last week. This
was a down payment on our winter
water supply accumulation.
Pacic Gas & Electric crews con-
tinued to work on restoring power
to about 8,000 users, a gure that
was down from 57,000 on Sunday
in areas stretching from Santa Cruz
to Eureka and parts of the San
Francisco Bay Area.
Three powerful storms drenched
the region within a week. In the
high Sierra, more than 5 feet of
snow during the stretch forced the
closures of a major road and a sec-
ondary roadway through Yosemite
National Park, officials said
Monday.
Both roads typically close in the
late fall when heavy snows arrive
and reopen when weather condi-
tions allow in the spring.
Sundays storm dropped as much
as an inch of rain an hour in some
areas while toppling trees, bringing
flash flooding to roadways and
knocking out electrical service.
I think everybody got nervous
last week, Keeton said. These
storms came with plenty of warn-
ings, but it rained so hard at times
that many were still left surprised
by what Mother Nature can do.
Rivers across Northern California
swelled from the deluge but did not
ood as much as expected.
More heavy rain expected to hit California
A 49-year-old man accused of
prostituting a teenage girl on an
online escort site and brandishing a
gun because her friends visited the
San Bruno condominium where she
was being kept pleaded no contest to
felony pandering and assault by
force.
David Blackwell, of San
Francisco, will be sentenced to four
years in prison at a Feb. 20 hearing
but, if he commits any new crimes
while out on $500,000 bail before-
hand, the deal no longer applies,
according to prosecutors.
As part of the negotiated settle-
ment, other charges of pimping a
minor and assault with a rearm
were dropped. Counts of human
trafcking and kidnapping were dis-
missed for insufficient evidence
after a preliminary hearing earlier
this year.
According to
p r o s e c u t o r s ,
Blackwell mar-
keted the girl on
the escort review
w e b s i t e
My Re d Bo o k .
com. He alleged-
ly allowed the
17-year-old girl
to come and go
but she was required to check in and
out with him and be available on a
moments notice to service clients.
On April 1, prosecutors say
Blackwell flashed the weapon
because she had friends over to the
condominium, which was against
his rules.
The victim was uncooperative
with Blackwells prosecution and
only testified at the preliminary
hearing after her own attorney was
appointed.

A Michigan nurseryman and his
team of tree climbers and horticultur-
ists have cloned the worlds biggest
redwoods and giant sequoias, bring-
ing some of them back from stumps
cut more than 100 years ago.
With the winter rains has come the
time to plant them. Two hundred and
fty clones carrying an exact genetic
copy from 18 different trees many
of them bigger when they lived than
anything left standing today will
start going into the ground Tuesday
on a ranch along the southern Oregon
Coast.
David Milarch, co-founder of the
Archangel Ancient Tree Archive and
the Champion Tree Project, hopes the
small plantation south of Port Orford,
Ore., will give the ancient giants a leg
up on moving north to cooler climes
as the climate changes and be the start
of a campaign to plant some of the
worlds fastest-growing trees all
around the globe.
I think we are entering into a time
where the largest, oldest living beings
on this earth need our help, said
Milarch, 63, of Copemish, Mich.
Only about 5 percent of the ancient
redwoods are left standing, and
among the sources of the clones is
one that fell some 120 years ago
the Fieldbrook Stump near
McKinleyville, Calif. Sprouts still
come out of the stump, which is 33
1/2 feet in diameter without the bark.
One of those sprouts provided cut-
tings for the project.
Milarch; his two sons, Jake and
Jared; and giant redwood hunter
Michael Taylor have been gathering
cuttings for years. They ship them to
Bill Werner, a native plant propagator
in Monterey, Calif. Werner roots the
cuttings and starts them growing.
Bill Libby, a professor emeritus of
forestry, genetics and natural
resources conservation from the
University of California at Berkeley,
has been amazed by Werners ability
to get clones to grow from sprouts
taken from trees that were thousands
of years old when they stood.
Man plants clones of long-dead redwoods

ject of an ongoing public hearing
process to see if the market use will
remain in place despite the fact the
land is technically zoned as residen-
tial.
Yesterday, a Corona beer delivery
truck was seen parked next to the
store in the morning to the dismay of
area residents, who have been told
the store will open initially without
beer and wine sales. It is not clear
what products the truck delivered to
the store yesterday, however.
Ofcials with 7-Eleven have also
said the market will close at 2 a.m.
and open at 5 a.m.
Ofcials did not offer an ofcial
opening date yesterday.
Woman arrested for
attempting to rob Walgreens
A San Carlos woman was arrested
at her residence Sunday after
attempting to rob a Walgreens at
1414 El Camino Real in San Carlos,
according to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.
The woman, Alison Catalli, 26,
allegedly entered the store and hand-
ed a demand note to an employee
through the pharmacy window. The
employee felt threatened, advised
her manager and activated a panic
alarm, according to the Sheriffs
Ofce.
Deputies responded, but she had
ed on foot. Deputies reviewed sur-
veillance video and were able to
identify Catalli from previous con-
tacts. There were no weapons used,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Millbrae police initiating
pedestrian safety program
The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce Millbrae Police Bureau is ini-
tiating a pedestrian crosswalk safety
program along El Camino Real
through Friday, Dec. 21.
The program will include a pedes-
trian decoy program, posted signs
encouraging awareness, the use of
social media describing the bureaus
efforts, verbal warnings to motorists
and pedestrians and, when appropri-
ate, citations, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
The decoy operation is tentatively
scheduled for Friday, Dec. 21.
Former employee ordered to
cover legal costs in race suit
Former Millbrae police officer
Danny Singson must repay the city
$21,600 to cover legal fees related to
failed racial bias lawsuit against the
city and a number of its manager,
according to a city press release
explaining an order issued in
November.
In May, after a two-week trial
presided over by Judge Susan Illston
of the federal District Court for the
Northern District of California, a
federal court jury returned a unani-
mous verdict in favor of the city on
all of Singsons claims of alleged
employment retaliation. Following
the verdict, Illston rejected Singsons
motion for a new trial and his request
to avoid paying the citys costs. The
award of costs comes more than
three years after Singson called a
press conference to announce he was
suing Millbrae and one of its man-
agers for race discrimination,
according to the press release.

As the United States hosts the
international Young Reporters for
the Environment program, the
National Wildlife Federation has
started recruiting public, private
and charter middle and high school
students in the U.S. to participate
in an annual competition that
encourages and promotes youth
environmental journalism.
The new Young Reporters for the
Environment USA (YRE-USA)
program is part of a rapidly-grow-
ing international network of inter-
national youth engaged in
Education for Sustainable
Development. Students that par-
ticipate in the program investigate
a local environmental problem or
issue, and propose solutions. They
document their work and report on
it through a journalistic production
targeting a local audience. These
journalistic efforts can be through
the creation of an article, a photo-
graph, a photographic essay or a
video which is then shared with a
local audience through a variety of
media.
The Young Reporters for the
Environment program is both a
national and international competi-
tion.
Winning national entries com-
pete against other countries
entries for recognition and prizes,
and both competitions utilize inde-
pendent juries to make the winning
selections. Full contest rules can

Squid fishermen
enjoy record run
HALF MOON BAY Californias market squid shermen
have hauled in record numbers as ocean conditions for the
third-straight year helped them net their quota earlier in the
season than normal.
The small squid often called calamari were caught in record
numbers over the past two years, and 2012 appears to have
been nearly as robust.
The state recorded a record-breaking 133,642 tons in the
2010-2011 season; that was beat in 2011-2012 with 134,910
tons, which translated into more than $69 million.
The squid shery is the states largest, and is managed to
prevent overshing.
The California Department of Fish and Game shut the sh-
ery down Nov. 21 after determining the states annual cap of
118,000 tons had been caught.
The state limits the number of commercial licenses it grants
in addition to closely monitoring the catch. Fishing squid is
also prohibited on weekends to allow for periods of uninter-
rupted spawning.
If the haul stays under the 118,000-ton limit like most
years then squid season can extend through March.
Despite the bounty, prices remained stable, with most of the
squid being frozen and shipped to China. Fishermen and
processors typically agree on a price before boats hit the water.
Squid tend to thrive in cooler conditions brought by La Nina
conditions over the past two winters. The conditions help krill
and plankton, the tiny organisms fed on by squid, thrive.
For 8 out of each ten years the shery doesnt get close to
the states cap, but every once in a while we have these anom-
alous good ocean conditions and squid take advantage of that,
Diane Pleschner-Steele, executive director of the California
Wetsh Producers Association, said.
While most squid is caught off the Southern California
coast, squid boats came as far north as Half Moon Bay because
of the large numbers.

WASHINGTON House Republicans
put forth a $2.2 trillion scal cliff coun-
teroffer to President Barack Obama on
Monday, calling for raising the eligibility
age for Medicare, lowering cost-of-living
hikes for Social Security benets and
bringing in $800 billion in higher tax rev-
enue but not raising rates for the
wealthy.
The White House declared the
Republicans still werent ready to get
serious and again vowed tax rate increas-
es will be in any measure Obama signs to
prevent the government from the cliffs
automatic tax hikes and sharp spending
cuts. Administration ofcials also hard-
ened their insistence that Obama is willing
to take the nation over the cliff rather than
give in to Republicans and extend the tax
cuts for upper-income earners.
With the clock ticking toward the year-
end deadline, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, and other Republicans
said they were proposing a reasonable
solution for negotiations that Boehner
says have been going nowhere. Mondays
proposal came in response to Obamas
plan last week to raise taxes by $1.6 tril-
lion over the coming decade but largely
exempt Medicare and Social Security
from budget cuts.
Though the GOP plan proposes to raise
$800 billion in higher tax revenue over the
same 10 years, it would keep the Bush-era
tax cuts including those for wealthier
earners targeted by Obama in place for
now. Dismissing the idea of raising any
tax rates, the Republicans said the new
revenue would come from closing loop-
holes and deductions while lowering
rates.
Boehner called that a credible plan
and said he hoped the administration
would respond in a timely and responsi-
ble way. The offer came after the admin-
istration urged Republicans to detail their
proposal to cut popular benet programs
like Medicare, Social Security and
Medicaid.
The White House complained the latest
offer was still short on details about what
loopholes would be closed or deductions
eliminated, and it insisted that any com-
promise include higher tax rates for
upper-income earners.
Asked directly whether the country
would go over the cliff unless GOP law-
makers backed down, administration of-
cials said yes. Ofcials said they remained
hopeful that scenario could be avoided,
saying the president continues to believe
that going over the cliff would be damag-
ing to the economy. And they signaled that
Obama wouldnt insist on bringing the top
tax rate all the way back to the 39.6 per-
cent rates of the Clinton era. The ofcials
spoke on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to speak publicly
about internal White House deliberations.
Until the Republicans in Congress are
willing to get serious about asking the
wealthiest to pay slightly higher tax rates,
we wont be able to achieve a signicant,
balanced approach to reduce our decit
our nation needs, White House
Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer
said in a statement.

Mars rover Curiosity:
No surprise in first soil test
LOS ANGELES Results are in from the
rst test of Martian soil by the rover Curiosity:
So far, there is no denitive evidence that the
red planet has the chemical ingredients to sup-
port life.
Scientists said Monday a scoop of sandy soil
analyzed by the rovers chemistry lab contained
water and a mix of chemicals, but not the com-
plex carbon-based compounds considered nec-
essary for microbial life.
The latest ndings reported at a meeting of
the American Geophysical Union meeting in
San Francisco came from an instrument aboard
the six-wheel rover that baked the soil and ana-
lyzed the gases released.
Curiosity landed in Gale Crater near the
Martian equator in August on a two-year mis-
sion to study whether the environment on Mars
could have been favorable for life.
The dirt at Curiositys landing site appeared
similar to that found in regions visited by other
Mars spacecraft, scientists said.
NASA:Voyager 1 enters
new region of solar system
LOS ANGELES The unstoppable
Voyager 1 spacecraft has sailed into a new
realm of the solar system that scientists did not
know existed.
Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, have been
speeding away from the sun toward interstellar
space, or the space between stars.
Over the summer, Voyager 1, which is farther
along in its journey, crossed into this new region
where the effects from the outside can be felt.
We do believe this may be the very last layer
between us and interstellar space, said chief
scientist Ed Stone of the NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, which manages the spacecraft.
Stone presented Voyager 1s latest location at
a meeting of the American Geophysical Union
in San Francisco.

SACRAMENTO Democratic legislative
leaders began laying out an ambitious agenda
for their nearly unprecedented power as
Californias new Legislature was sworn into
ofce on Monday, promising caution on new
taxes but willingness to bypass Republicans as
they seek to borrow billions of dollars and ask
voters to make sweeping changes to the state
Constitution.
The voters do not want us to burst out of
the gate to raise more taxes, said Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, who was re-elected by senators
to that leadership post Monday.
But he added that there is an equally com-
pelling danger. It is the danger in being so
cautious, so worried about creating controver-
sy that we fail to take advantage of unprece-
dented opportunities. Power is, by denition,
eeting. Misuse it and youll lose it. Fail to
use it, and it withers away, he said.
Democrats won two-thirds majorities in the
Assembly and Senate in last months election
for the rst time in 130 years and will be
working with a governor of the same political
party. The supermajorities will allow them to
raise taxes if they choose and to unilaterally
put constitutional amendments before voters.
In quick succession, Steinberg backed pro-
posals by two Senate Democrats to introduce
constitutional amendments that would lower
the vote threshold to raise taxes for school
districts and some other local governments
from the current two-thirds to 55 percent.
The proposals by Mark Leno of San
Francisco and Lois Wolk of Davis would tin-
ker with Proposition 13, the landmark 1978
property tax initiative that increased the
number of votes needed to pass tax increas-
es.
Steinberg said Democrats are now free to
rewrite an $11 billion water bond set to go
before voters in 2014, rearranging its priori-
ties and lowering the borrowing by at least $1
billion. Republicans had insisted on including
the possibility of building new dams when the
bipartisan package was approved by lawmak-
ers in 2009, while Democrats generally
favored alternatives such as cleaning up con-
taminated groundwater and increasing conser-
vation efforts.
Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John
Perez, D-Los Angeles, who was also re-elect-
ed to that post Monday, said the new legisla-
tive session marks a turning point as the state
recovers from the housing and economic col-
lapse of 2008.

reign with supermajority

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Oakland Tribune
A
s Democrats contemplate what to
do with their new supermajority
power in the Legislature, they
should avoid Republicans worst fears: tax
increases to restore depleted services. Nearly
2 million Californians remain unemployed.
Economic growth must be a top priority. And
one of the best ways to accomplish it is to
reform the California Environmental Quality
Act.
The law, known as CEQA, requires local
governments to analyze the environmental
effects of development projects and look for
ways to mitigate them. Its one reason the
state has been able to preserve its natural
beauty a central component of its attrac-
tion for residents and businesses and it
has given residents a strong voice in commu-
nity development.
But it is too often abused by a whole range
of interests: NIMBYs to protect their person-
al interests, labor unions as a weapon to
demand contracts, businesses to stop compe-
tition and, of course, lawyers who have made
a career (and lots of legal fees) out of threat-
ening to use CEQA to stop public projects
unless those projects fork over some cash.
These challenges often prevent develop-
ment that could create jobs or help business-
es survive without harming the environment,
and they contribute to Californias well-
earned reputation as a state that is unfriendly
to business. Four decades after Ronald
Reagan signed CEQA into law, its time for
an update.
With the help of Silicon Valley Leadership
Group President Carl Guardino, a statewide
coalition has been working with CEQA
experts to develop reforms that prevent abus-
es while maintaining the laws intent. The
proposals were discussed briey in
Sacramento as the legislative session ended,
but they were too complex to be passed
quickly. We hope to see them revived and
fully debated next year:
Coordinating CEQA reviews with environ-
mental regulations. For example, if a project
complies with water quality laws, a judge
shouldnt be able to stop it on water-quality
grounds as part of a CEQA challenge.
Limiting when a CEQA lawsuit can be
led.
Improving record-keeping to speed up the
court process.
Requiring transparency in the courts as
in politics so the public can see whos
behind the challenges. Often, its not envi-
ronmentalists.
Reform opponents say CEQA lawsuits are
few, and theyre right. But the threat of a
lawsuit changes what businesses do and
where they try to build. Sometimes thats for
the best, but often its a needless deterrent to
job creation.
Reforms could actually enhance some
environmental protections. Inll, which is
building in already developed areas far
preferable to sprawl into open land is
often challenged by NIMBY neighbors. And
for developers, nothing increases costs like
project delays. Reforming CEQA would
make inll projects more attractive to
builders.
Gov. Jerry Brown, Senate President Darrell
Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John Perez
all have promised reform. Its a perfect
opportunity to show Californians theyre seri-
ous about using their supermajority power
responsibly.
Real tax reform
Editor,
You reported that state Sen. Mark Leno,
D-San Francisco, is introducing a bill to
lower approval of parcel taxes from two
thirds to 55 percent. I wish he would recon-
sider and lend his efforts to reducing the
approval of all taxes to 55 percent or even
60 percent.
Parcel taxes, like the limitation of taxes
under Proposition 13, greatly favor com-
mercial and industrial property owners.
How fair is it that the Bank of America
building or Chevrons Richmond refinery
should have the same tax as a a one-bed-
room apartment?
Parcel taxes add to the unfairness caused
by Proposition 13. Since commercial and
industrial property seldom changes hands,
the related taxes stay low. Ownership of
residential property often changes, leading
to increased taxes. A travesty is that the
requirement for two thirds approval effect-
ed by Proposition 13 in 1978 was adopted
by less than half of the registered voters,
only 62.6 percent of the participating 70
percent. Such is the power of campaigning
by the large property owners.
Please, Sen. Leno, lend your efforts to
real reform of the tax laws.

what does one do? If you still have strong
feelings about the piece and passion about
the direction that he suggests, you might
change your voter registration to decline
to specify or no party preference. That
way you can present all sides of the argu-
ment to your friends. Not only will they
appreciate your new perspective; but, youll
feel much better knowing you have done
something that they havent even consid-
ered.

How can the U.N. seriously
consider membership for Palestine?
Editor,
Hamas has just ascended as the apparent
representative of the Palestinian people
until Nov. 29, 2012, when, at the request of
the Palestinian Authority who govern the
West Bank, the United Nations status of
Palestine was upgraded to non-member
observer state.
Section 1, Article 4, Chapter II of the
U.N. Charter says Membership in the
United Nations is open to all other peace-
loving states. In 1949, Israel was admitted
for U.N. membership.
Hamass charter expressly advocates
killing Jews and this year alone Hamas
fired more than 2,000 missiles from Gazan
civilian areas towards Israeli civilians a
double war crime.
Its uncertain who speaks for the
Palestinians. If its the Palestinian
Authority, its unclear whether theyre pre-
pared to accept a two-state solution. If its
Hamas, Hamas indisputably is dedicated to
killing Jews and refuses to acknowledge
Israels right to exist. In either case, you
should wonder why the U.N. would consid-
er admitting Palestine, whose representa-
tives havent demonstrated theyre peace
loving and whose words and actions are
inconsistent with this concept, into U.N.
membership.

What a trip
Y
ou better watch your step. San Mateo
County is apparently lled with
unexpected dangers in the form of
uneven pavement, slippery surfaces, wide-
spread puddles, sidewalk cracks the size of the
Grand Canyon,
downed trees,
pesky potholes,
bunched carpet,
gravel, pebbles,
boxes and cables.
And did I happen
to mention faulty
dance oors?
If the number of
claims and civil
lawsuits led in
San Mateo County
is any indication,
people on the
Peninsula are not playing on a level playing
eld. Heck, they arent even walking, skipping,
running, sitting or performing any other kinetic
outburst of activity on an even surface
either that or the county is home to the most
uncoordinated bunch of folks around.
A trip through governmental claims and
court lawsuits shines a little light on the daily
travails and troubles bubbling in any given
jurisdiction. Most are not worthy of Erin
Brockovich or even a spoonful of newspaper
ink although they are very telling about a given
time. Perhaps the still-shaky economy is to
blame but there are a ton of credit card compa-
nies going after customers for nonpayment.
Often led are also landlord and tenant dis-
putes rent not paid, leases disputed, ghts
over verbal agreements about upkeep and
repair. Wrongful termination is also popular,
mostly people who claim retaliation or age dis-
crimination, along with sexual harassment
although there was one gentlemen who is very
upset with Genentech for letting him go. No
matter that he was a temp worker. Really,
though, who knew that so many private busi-
nesses and workers allegedly have it in for
anybody at risk for a gray hair or wrinkle? Or,
if the lawsuits are to be believed, that so many
employees have no sense of proper workplace
behavior? Restraining orders, rearms prohibi-
tions and estate settlements are peppered in
between. This is the bread and butter of the
civil courts.
But the nuts and bolts of the news business
is nding the suits with wider appeal. The
wrongful deaths. The negligence. The injunc-
tions against controversial development plans.
On a good day, a local pizzeria will be sued
for serving a pie with an inordinate amount of
human hair. That suit was dropped by the
way, although not before testing the gag reex-
es of even the most cast-iron stomachs in the
newsroom.
To nd such a gem, though, one has to wade
through a lot of lings which leads back to
only one logical conclusion: a general lack of
coordination. Sufce to say, if life is a journey,
a great number of people are not content to
enjoy the trip at least when said trip is liter-
al.
Tripping lawsuits draw a mixed reaction. On
one hand, a patron or pedestrian should
assume that a business wont stack wobbly
boxes in the middle of an aisle or that strolling
down a public path risks life and limb. On the
other, though, pick up your feet!
Most of the suits involve the usual suspects,
namely chains with deep aisles and deeper
pockets. The local Safeways are obviously
Ground Zero for slip and fall suits with Costco
not far behind. Occasionally a mom and pop
will make a showing. Earlier this year, a suit
was led against the Arthur Murray dance stu-
dio for an alleged tripping hazard on the oor
that led to a broken hip. Negligent or being
a business meant to instill grace ironic?
Then theres a man suing the Lucky Chances
card room for tripping over another patrons
crutches that had been placed under his chair.
Justied liability suit or long-shot gamble?
Those answers are for a judge and jury to
decide. As for the court of public opinion
about the validity? Individuals can decide for
themselves if they fall for it.

NEW YORK Stocks edged lower
on Wall Street Monday after a surpris-
ingly weak manufacturing report height-
ened concern that scal deadlock in
Washington is already hurting the econ-
omy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
59.98 points to close at 12,965.60. The
Standard and Poors 500 dropped 6.72
points to 1,409.46. The Nasdaq compos-
ite was down 8.04 points to 3,002.20
U.S. manufacturing declined in
November to its weakest level since July
2009, the Institute for Supply
Management reported. The ISMs index
fell to 49.5 from 51.7 a month earlier,
below the 51.2 reading forecast by ana-
lysts. Any number below 50 on the scale
means that manufacturing is contracting.
Businesses expressed concerns about the
scal cliff, a series of sharp govern-
ment spending cuts and tax increases
scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless an agree-
ment is reached to cut the budget decit.
The ISM numbers probably took a
little air out of what was some hope for
better news on where the economy is
going, said Jim Dunigan, executive vice
president at PNC Wealth Management in
Philadelphia. Were still in the camp
that this gets resolved and we dont go
over the cliff, but theres a lot of angst
between now and then.
The White House and Congress are
still seeking to hammer out a budget deal
that will avoid the cliff. Republicans,
led by House Speaker John Boehner,
have balked at President Barack
Obamas opening proposal of $1.6 tril-
lion in higher taxes over a decade, a pos-
sible extension of the temporary Social
Security payroll tax cut and heightened
presidential power to raise the national
debt limit.
House Republicans on Monday pro-
posed their own 10-year blueprint to
President Barack Obama that calls for
increasing the eligibility age for
Medicare and lowering cost-of-living
hikes for Social Security benets.
Theres a sense of insecurity until the
President and Boehner get their act
together, said Ben Schwarz, chief mar-
ket strategist at New York-based broker-
age Lightspeed Financial. If they put
together a package in short order, if they
do it in the next couple of weeks, youll
see a strong rally.
Stocks have uctuated since the Nov.
6 election as investors worried that a
deal may not be reached in time to avoid
the tax hikes and spending cuts, which
economists say could push the U.S. back
into recession. The S&P 500 is still 1.3
percent below its closing level on the
day that Americans went to the polls,
having fallen as much as 5 percent in the
weeks following the election.

WASHINGTON U.S. manufactur-
ing shrank in November to its weakest
level since July 2009, one month after
the Great Recession ended. Worries
about automatic tax increases in the
New Year cut demand for factory orders
and manufacturing jobs.
The Institute for Supply Management
said Monday that its index of manufac-
turing conditions fell to a reading of
49.5. Thats down from 51.7 in October.
Readings above 50 signal growth,
while readings below indicate contrac-
tion. Manufacturing grew in October for
only the second time since May. The
ISM is a trade group of purchasing man-
agers.
A gauge of new orders dropped to its
lowest level since August, a sign that
production could slow in the coming
months. Manufacturers also sharply
reduced their stockpiles, indicating
companies expect weaker demand.
Todays report suggests that the
manufacturing sector is likely to remain
a weak point in the recovery for a few
months yet, Jeremy Lawson, an econo-
mist at BNP Paribas, said in a note to
clients.
Stocks declined after the survey was
released, giving up early gains. The
Dow Jones industrial average was down
12 points in midday trading. Broader
indexes rose only slightly.
The weak manufacturing survey over-
shadowed other positives economic
reports. Greater home building boosted
U.S. construction spending in October
by the most in five months.
Manufacturing activity in China grew in
November for the second straight
month. And U.S. auto sales rebounded
last month after Superstorm Sandy held
sales back in October.
U.S. manufacturers are concerned
about the fiscal cliff, the ISM survey
noted. Thats the name for sharp tax
increases and government spending
cuts that will take effect in January if
Congress and the Obama administra-
tion fail to strike a budget deal before
then.
Worries about the scal cliff have led
many companies to pull back this year
on purchases of machinery and equip-
ment, which signal investment plans.
The decline could slow economic
growth and hold back hiring in the
October-December quarter.
U.S. manufacturing at three-year low
By Dee-Ann Durbin
and Tom Krisher
DETROIT Superstorm Sandy gave
an extra boost to U.S. auto sales, making
November the best month for carmakers
in nearly ve years.
Toyota, Volkswagen and Chrysler
were among the companies posting
impressive increases for November,
which is normally a lackluster month
because of colder weather and holiday
distractions. Only General Motors was
left struggling to explain yet another
month of weak growth.
Industry sales rose 15 percent from a
year earlier to 1.1 million, according to
AutoData. That was their fastest pace
since January 2008. U.S. sales would
reach 15.5 million this year if they
stayed at Novembers rate, far higher
than the 14.3 million rate in the rst 10
months of this year.
Americans are more condent in the
economy, a key driver of auto sales.
Home values are rising, hiring is up and
auto nancing remains readily available.
And besides just feeling better, people
need to replace aging cars or vehicles
damaged by Sandy.
Everything is kind of moving along
almost in concert now, says Jeff
Schuster, senior vice president of fore-
casting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-
area industry consulting rm.
Sandy added 20,000 to 30,000 sales
industry wide last month, mostly from
people who planned to buy cars during
the October storm but had to delay their
purchases, Ford estimates.
The Daily doomed by
dull content and isolation
LOS ANGELES It was too expen-
sive. It lacked editorial focus. And for a
digital publication, it was strangely cut
off from the Internet. Thats the obitu-
ary being written in real time through
posts, tweets and online chats about
The Daily, the first-of-its-kind iPad
newspaper that is being shut down this
month.
Rupert Murdochs News Corp. said
Monday that The Daily will publish its
nal issue on Dec. 15, less than two
years after its January 2011 launch. The
app has already been removed from
Apples iTunes, where it once received
lukewarm ratings.
Delta Air eyes bigger slice
of New York-London travel
MINNEAPOLIS The skies
between London and New York are full
of business travelers, and Delta Air
Lines wants more of them.
Delta is looking into buying a big
stake in Virgin Atlantic, the second-
biggest airline at Londons Heathrow
airport. New York to London is one of
the worlds most important travel
routes, and Delta currently ies fewer
ights to Heathrow than its main U.S.
competitors, American and United.
On Monday, Singapore Airlines said
it is in discussions with interested par-
ties to sell its 49 percent stake in Virgin
Atlantic. A person with knowledge of
the talks told the Associated Press that
Delta is in talks with Singapore Airlines
about buying the Virgin Atlantic stake.
The person requested anonymity
because the talks are ongoing. The
Singapore Airlines statement said the
talks may or may not result in a deal.

Giants ink
Pagan to
4-year deal
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Giants general man-
ager Brian Sabean can check two big boxes
off his winter to-do list.
San Francisco and free-
agent center elder Angel
Pagan agreed to a $40 mil-
lion, four-year contract
Monday as the winter
meetings got underway in
Nashville, Tenn.
Bobby Evans, the
teams vice president of
baseball operations, said
the deal with Pagan was
very close and the lead-
off hitter would be subject to a physical to
nalize his return to the reigning World Series
champions.
Retaining Pagan was among the top priori-
ties for Sabean this offseason, along with
keeping recently re-signed left-handed reliev-
er Jeremy Affeldt and second baseman Marco
Scutaro. Affeldt received an $18 million,
three-year contract Nov. 14.
The 31-year-old Pagan batted .288 with
eight home runs, 56 RBIs and a San
Francisco-best 15 triples in his rst season
with the Giants. Pagan said late in the season
and again after the World Series parade that he
hoped to return, but wanted to test free agency

SHP volleyball ends
season with crazy
title game in Irvine
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Saturday proved to be a very wild day for
the Sacred Heart Prep girls volleyball team.
In a nutshell: Board a morning ight to
Irvine, arrive in Irvine, head over to Concordia
University, play a five-set thriller in the
Division IV CIF State title game, suffer a
heart-breaking loss, nd out your return ight
is canceled, make different ight arrange-
ments, board another plane, arrive in San Jose
instead of SFO, battle a torrential downpour to
get back to SFO to hop into awaiting vehicles,
drive to Pacica in that rain to watch the
schools football team play in the Central
Coast Section DIV title game for the last two
quarters and, then, go home.
Did we lose you anywhere there?
It was crazy, said SHP head coach
Damien Hardy. But it all worked out. So, all
is well and the girls got to the game a little
later than they wanted to, but they got to see
the football game.
For one of the most hectic days an athlete
can possibly have, the entire SHP volleyball
team deserves an Honor Roll shoutout in a
sense, waving goodbye to the countys most
successful team and transitioning into the win-
ter season.
Off the court, the day was nuts. On the
court, the Sacred Heart Prep girls volleyball
team came up just short of winning of winning
a state title, dropping a ve-set decision to
A
third of the 2012-13 high
school sports season is over
after Sacred Heart Prep capped
a phenomenal season with its fourth
Central Coast Section title, this one in
football, as well as a runner-up nish in
the state by the schools volleyball team.
There is no time to
breathe, however, as
the winter sports sea-
son basketball,
soccer and wrestling
has already start-
ed. As those fall ath-
letes who also play
during the winter
condition their bod-
ies for a new sport,
the Sports Lounge is
highlighting some of
the performances
from the rst three
months of the new school year.
Game of the Year: Aragon at Menlo-
Atherton football. Remember, this list is
compiled from games I actually wit-
nessed. So while there may have been
better games/matches, I didnt see them.
This game had a ton of offense as the
teams combined for 766 yards, just
enough defense, big plays and big per-
formances from both sides. In the end, it
was an ankle tackle that preserved a 28-
23 Menlo-Atherton win.
It was a game that saw the Dons nal-
ly embrace the passing attack, after
decades of being a run-rst team.
Quarterback Nat Blood threw 37 times
for 276 yards. Receiver Aldo Severson
caught 12 balls for 161 yards. M-A sig-
nal caller Royce Branning was just as
good, passing for 204 yards and two,
long scoring strikes.
The game went back and forth and,
while there is no one play that can ever
be pointed to as being the difference in a
game, its hard to argue that Enzo

There is so much that painstakingly
never reaches a sports game story.
And really, its a shame.
From the moment the referee blows
the whistle, its at least two hours of
notes, plays, pictures, quotes and sta-
tistics. Those are the things readers
get to see and read about. And with
good reason because San Mateo
County was overowing this fall with
exceptional athletic performances
between the lines (see todays Sports
Lounge).

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh watched
how Colin Kaepernick handled himself when
things didnt go right for the San Francisco
49ers, and that told the coach plenty more
about his second-year quarterback with all of
three NFL starts to his name.
Enough that Harbaugh is sticking with
Kaepernick under center for now, anyway
as his team gears up for Sundays home
game against the Miami Dolphins at
Candlestick Park.
Just a winning quarterback performance in
tough circumstances, Harbaugh said
Monday. In the evaluation, I thought Colin
played well, did a lot of really good things,
made some good decisions. ... I thought some
real positives to take away from his perform-
ance.
Yet Alex Smith isnt out of this mix yet,
either. Another sub-par performance by
Kaepernick could have Harbaugh going back
to the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick for the
nal December push toward the playoffs. The
reigning NFL coach of the year is leaving
every option open down the stretch.
A day after a 16-13 overtime loss at St.
Louis, Harbaugh accepted the blame for the
fourth-quarter pitch that was fumbled by
Kaepernick and led to Janoris Jenkins 2-yard
fumble return for a touchdown and ensuing 2-
point conversion that tied the game. Harbaugh
didnt call the play, but relayed it through the
headset to Kaepernick.
Responsibility-taking starts with me on
that option play that resulted in the nightmare
scenario, Harbaugh said. Position of the
game that where I should not let that play be
called. So I take responsibility for that.
At 8-3-1, the Niners are prepared for a chal-
lenge from the Seahawks (7-5) in the NFC
West after Seattle won in overtime at Chicago
on Sunday. The teams play at Seattle in the
second-to-last game on Dec. 23.
Everybody around San Francisco is looking
for a strong nish by a team that has set its
sights on the Super Bowl since moments after
last years near miss: a 20-17 overtime loss to
the eventual champion New York Giants in the
NFC title game.
Youre mad to the point where you dont
really feel anything right now, linebacker
Patrick Willis said Sunday in St. Louis.
After this weeks home game with Miami
(5-7), San Francisco also must travel to New
England in another daunting road task. The
49ers are certainly frustrated with the way
their two games against the Rams wound up
after a 24-24 tie on Nov. 11.
We expect to execute, left tackle Joe
Staley said. We didnt execute. Late in the
season we shouldnt be having games like
this.
Colin Kaepernick still 49ers quarterback for now
shame because those details are important,
too. Theyre the ones that speak about the joy
and pain that come with high school sports.
Take Saturday night at the unofcial swan
song to the 2012 fall season. The hype around
the Central Coast Section Division IV cham-
pionship game between Sacred Heart Prep
and Menlo School was huge and the game
itself turned out to be one of those magical,
epic clashes as the teams battled each other
and Mother Nature.
It rained hard on Saturday night and the
Terra Nova High School eld was under a
good half-inch of water.
What youll read is the rain had a lot to do
with the Knights struggling on offense and
SHP taking full advantage of that to win its
second CCS title.
What you didnt read was minutes into hug-
ging and celebrating the win, the entire Sacred
Heart football team met at the north end zone
for its traditional post game prayer. As they all
huddle around, head coach Pete Lavorato
yelled from about the 30-yard line, hey,
watch this, and proceeded to do his best slip-
and-slide belly op on the soaked Terra Nova
turf.
Lavorato went three yards. Maybe.
But the laughter that eminated from his
players went way farther than that.
And just like that moment, there are other
wrinkles in covering high schools sports that
dont make the pages of the San Mateo Daily
Journal.
Like how impossible it is to measure the
heart of the South San Francisco High School
football team. After losing on the scoreboard
pretty bad to Menlo-Atherton in the non-con-
ference nale, switching starting quarterbacks
in the process and losing their best player two
weeks before with a foot injury, Frank Moro
gave an inspired speech to his Warriors after
the game it was one you could see the
Warriors soaking in with their eyes.
If Moro were to bottle that up and sell those
words, hed make a fortune because South
City proceeded to reel off ve straight wins in
capturing the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
Ocean Division title.
There was the Serra High School junior var-
sity and freshman teams donning Polynesian
attire and going bare chested while entertain-
ing a packed stadium during the Padres bout
with Bellarmine. And then running back Eric
Redwood laying on the turf two quarters later
after falling short on a 2-point conversion that
would have beaten the Bells visibly dis-
traught from the way the game ended.
Jonathan Beering, his lineman, caught sight of
No. 2 laying all alone near on the oppisite side
of the eld and rushed over to pick his foot-
ball brother off the turf with a ton of chaos to
his back in a gesture that was more symbol
than a simple pick-me-up.
There was San Mateos Larry Campbell,
who moments after kicking the winning extra-
point in his last home game as a Bearcat, was
mobbed by his teammates, the same ones who
had no idea what a winning season felt like
until the moment No. 22 booted the ball
through the uprights, the same ones who
forced him to lead a rendition of the San
Mateo High School ght song to kick off the
post game celebration with the entire Bearcat
student body in attendance.
There was Burlingames Keoni Keani being
nimble enough to not trample over a photog-
rapher as he tried to get the perfect picture
during a make-or-break game for the Panthers
(thanks, man).
And theres this seasons battle of the
school bands won by Mills High School.
There was Sacred Heart Preps Ben Burr-
Kirven laying a hit so hard on a Soquel offen-
sive player that he could have been ticketed.
And the hot chocolate at South City High
School during another eerily foggy Friday
night football game. There were the sideline
chats with heartbroken PAL superstars like
Mark Concillia who had his season taken
away from him with an injury; Robert
Johnson who hobbled around the South City
sideline with the desire of a caged lion long-
ing to get back into the wild; and Aldo
Severson who had to sit out the CCS playoffs
because of a shoulder injury he suffered in the
fourth quarter of Aragons blowout win over
rival Hillsdale.
And there were nachos with a little extra
cheese thanks to the ne people at Sequoia
High School, and a amply-timed, very deli-
cious burger at Sacred Heart Prep.
In the end, scores and championships are
important, yes. But as we welcome the winter
season, its fun to remember the stories we
live without the aid of a keyboard.
Those are worth telling, too.

multiyear deal.
On Friday, Sabean said the club had made
backup plans to move forward without Pagan
or Scutaro in case neither decided to re-sign
but progress with Pagan apparently hap-
pened during the weekend after Sabean said,
We dont have a deal, so that tells you were
not close.
Whether NL championship series MVP
Scutaro returns is still a question. He very
well could have a new suitor in the mix after
the New York Yankees said Monday that third
baseman Alex Rodriguez will have surgery on
his left hip and could be lost until the 2013
All-Star break.
Sabean said he likely wouldnt address his
bullpen until after rst negotiating with the
representatives for Pagan and Scutaro.
The 37-year-old Scutaro hit .362 with three
homers and 44 RBIs in 61 games with the
Giants after he was acquired in a trade with
the Colorado Rockies.
San Francisco declined Friday to tender a
contract to closer Brian Wilson, who is work-
ing back from a second Tommy John recon-
structive surgery on his right elbow.

Francis Parker-San Diego.
It was denitely heartbreaking, Hardy
said. Our girls did show a lot of heart and a
lot of character. Thats the type of team we
have. Weve known that all year. Theres no
quit in these girls. They had their backs
against the wall and they just buckled down
and fought.
The Gators (33-6) were looking for their
rst state championship crown since 1996,
while the Lancers (27-2) won their seventh
and rst since 2005.
Sacred Heart Prep lost the rst two sets,
before rallying to win games 3 and 4 and forc-
ing a decisive game 5, where the Gators came
up just short, 25-22, 28-26, 22-25, 22-25, 15-
13.
No matter how good everyone said that
team was, how many good players they have
that were going to DI colleges ... our message
was buckle down, execute our defenses and be
disciplined on our skills and let the other team
make the mistakes, Hardy said.
Ellie Shannon and Victoria Garrick paced
the Gators attack, nishing with 17 and 16
kills, respectively. Payton Smith added 11
kills and Sonia Abuel-Saud had 10. Cammie
Merten pumped out 47 assists and Helen
Gannon was a digging machine, nishing
with 26.
It wasnt anything about them being ill-
prepared. We knew they were going to be
good. We just fell a little short in that rst
game and, in that second game, we thought
we had it and we should have had it but it just
wasnt the case.
Francis Parker matched the Gators quartet
of killers with four double-digit attackers as
well. Michaela Dews nished with a match-
high 20 kills for the Lancers.
Its been a great season, Hardy said. No
one thought we would go this far. Everybody
thought that we had a pretty good team but to
go this far? There are over 1,000 teams in
California and we were one of two teams left
playing in late November and early
December. So, its a great way to nish our
season. But, its bittersweet of course because
we were in a match we felt we should have
and could have won.

Warriors see Magic pull away
OAKLAND Glen Davis and
Arron Afflalo scored 24 points
apiece, and the Orlando Magic out-
lasted the Golden State Warriors
102-94 on Monday night for their
second straight victory.
A night after an emotional win
against former franchise center
Dwight Howard and the Los
Angeles Lakers, Orlando outscored
Golden State 33-25 to pull away in
the fourth quarter. J.J. Redick had
10 of his 22 points in the fourth and
Nikola Vucevic finished with 14
points and 15 rebounds to help the
Magic begin their ve-game West
Coast trip 2-0.
Stephen Curry had 25 points and
11 assists and David Lee added 22
points and nine rebounds for the
Warriors, who were going for the
rst four-game winning streak of
coach Mark Jacksons tenure.
Instead, they had their ve-game
home winning streak snapped as
they head on the road for a season-
long seven-game trip.
The laboring Magic managed to
outhustle and outmuscle the well-
rested Warriors when it mattered
most.
Redick made a short jumper and a
3-pointer to cap a 10-2 run that put
the Magic ahead 82-74 early in the
fourth.
After Curry connected from
beyond the arc, Davis layup over
Lee started a three-point play and an
avalanche of Orlando offense.
Vucevics dunk highlighted the
spurt and lifted the Magic to a 98-84
lead that put the game out of reach.
Golden State has not won four
straight since January 2011, when
Keith Smart was still the coach.
The Magic made up for a sluggish
start in a little more than a second.
Vucevic converted a driving layup
over Jarrett Jack to start a three-
point play. With 1.8 seconds left in
the rst quarter, Afalo deected
Carl Landrys inbounds pass to
Davis, who made a 22-footer at the
buzzer to put Orlando ahead 28-27.

SPORTS
Santos 34-yard interception return wasnt
pivotal, as it turned out to be the touchdown
the Bears needed to hold off the Dons.
Aragon trailed 28-17 in the fourth quarter
but was driving for the go-ahead score late in
the game. Blood hooked up with Severson
for what appeared the game-winning touch-
down, before an M-A defender clipped
Seversons ankles at the Bears 10-yard line.
On third and goal, the Evan Perkins picked
off a deected pass to seal the win.

Sport That Best Represented San Mateo
County: Cross country. There was at least
one athlete from the Peninsula Athletic
League or West Bay Athletic League in the
top 10 of all 10 Central Coast Section races.
There are ve boys races (Division I-V)
and ve girls races (Division 1-V). A county
athlete did not have a nish lower than
eighth place.
In the boys races, Half Moon Bays Logan
Marshall won the Division IV race, while
Daniel Bereket (Carlmont, Division I), Rory
Beyer (Aragon, DII), Grant Murphy (Mills,
DIII), Chris Gregory (Woodside Priory, DV)
all nished third in their respective races.
Bereket, however, had the fastest time of
all county runners, 15:41.
County girls had equally impressive nish-
es. Crystal Springs Jenny Shearer captured
the Division V championship. Catherine
Lowdon (Burlingame, Division III) nished
second in her race, while Kylie Goo
(Westmoor, DII) and Zoe Enright (Menlo
School, DIV) were fourth in their respective
division races. In Division I, Menlo-
Athertons Taylor Fortnam was eighth.
Goo, the PAL champion, had the best time
of county runners, nishing with an 18:03.
***
Best Individual Performance, Boys: Justin
Ewing, Capuchino football. Ewing carried
the Mustangs literally to the Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division title by rush-
ing for a new Central Coast Section single-
season record, 2,956 according to
MaxPreps.com. Three times, Ewing eclipsed
40 carries a game and he carried the ball 25
times or more in nine of 10 games. He aver-
aged 268 yards per game and scored 30
touchdowns.
With an ability to run tough between the
tackles where he got the bulk of his
yardage as well as get into space and run
away from defenses, Ewing possessed a
blend of speed and power not seen by any
running back since Toke Kefu guided San
Mateo to a CCS title in 2003.
***
Best Individual Performance, Girls:
Mariko Iinuma, Hillsdale tennis. Only a
sophomore, Iinuma went undefeated in PAL
play, capturing the leagues individual singles
title to cap a 17-0 PAL campaign. Iinuma is
now 33-1 in PAL play over the last two sea-
sons.
Iinuma went 14-0 in the No. 2 singles spot
during the regular season as a freshman and
won two more matches in the PAL tourna-
ment before losing in the championship
match.
If she plays high school tennis the next two
years, she could be one of the PALs all-time
bests.
***
Most Dominant Team: Sacred Heart Prep
water polo. Gators coach Brian Kreutzkamp
was asked periodically throughout the 2012
season if this was his best team during his
tenure. He always said wait until the end of
the season.
After the Gators put together one of the
most dominating runs in CCS history and
captured their sixth title, theres little ques-
tion this was one of the best, deepest teams
in school history. SHP outscored its oppo-
nents 52-10 in three CCS matches, including
a rarely seen shutout 18-0 over
Burlingame in the quarternals.
The Gators also captured the West Catholic
Athletic League regular-season and playoff
titles, going 8-0 in the process, beating
Bellarmine 15-14 in overtime. Bellarmine
recovered from that loss to win the CCS
Division I championship.
They nished with an overall record of 25-
3. Not one of those losses came to a team
from Northern California.
***
Most Surprising Newcomer, Boys: JD
Elzie, Aragon football. Everyone knew Elzie
was fast he won the PAL 100 in the
spring of 2012 not many knew what to
expect from him on the football eld.
Simply put: Elzie was a player who was a
threat to score every time he touched the
ball. He is so quick and slippery, if he could
make the rst defender miss, he could go all
the way.
He had three kickoff returns and a punt
return for touchdowns in the rst four games
of the season and he became more and more
involved in the offense as the season went
along. Against Hillsdale in the annual Flea
Game, Elzie scored on a 46-yard run on the
fourth play of the game. In the CCS semi-
nals against St. Francis, he hooked up with
Nat Blood, split two defenders and went 30
yards for the score.
***
Most Surprising Newcomer, Girls:
Christine Alftin, Woodside volleyball. While
a known quantity in the volleyball world, it
was surprising to see the St. Francis transfer
show up on the Woodside roster.
Because at rst, she wasnt. Alftin was not
on the Wildcats season-opening roster
because she had to sit out the rst month, per
CCS transfer rules. When she became eligi-
ble at the beginning of the PAL season, she
quickly made up for lost time ending the sea-
son as the Wildcats kill leader in 12 match-
es. She helped guide Woodside to the Ocean
Division championship and a spot in the
CCS playoffs.
LOUNGE
ALAMEDA Being mired in a ve-game
losing streak with a short week to get ready for
Peyton Manning and the
rst-place Denver Broncos
is tough enough.
The Oakland Raiders
have to do it without their
head coach.
Dennis Allen left the
team after Sundays 20-17
loss to Cleveland to be
with his father, who has a
serious medical issue.
Allen is expected to rejoin
the team on Wednesday night and be on the
eld Thursday when the Raiders (3-9) host the
Broncos (9-3).
But until then, offensive coordinator Greg
Knapp will oversee the team and defensive
coordinator Jason Tarver will map out the
defense.
This is a pretty unique season, both on and
off the eld, Ill say that, Tarver said Monday.
Theres a bunch of adversity and the true
character of a man and a coach and whoever is
to, no matter what the circumstances, be a pro
and handle your business. But Ive been a part
of a lot of different situations, both in this
league and in coaching, but theres some
unique things that have happened this year.
Allen is with his family in the Dallas area
helping to care for his 66-year-old father,
Grady, a former NFL linebacker with the
Atlanta Falcons. Knapp said he texted Allen
on Monday morning to pass on good wishes
and planned to talk to the head coach as the
team prepared for the Broncos.
Oakland did not practice on Monday and
will have two brief practices before the game
Thursday. With the short week, the position
coaches had begun some of the scouting of the
Broncos last week to allow the coordinators to
put together the game plan on Sunday night
and Monday.
Allen, a former defensive coordinator in
Denver, is typically heavily involved in the
defensive game plan, while giving more gen-
eral tips about philosophy for Knapp to use on
offense.
Today we went right into a normal Tuesday
routine for coaches, Knapp said. We started
game planning this morning for Denver, and
then our practice schedule for the next two
days will obviously be a little bit shorter
because our guys need to still recover from
this game and get ready for the next game.
From a game-plan standpoint, you condense
maybe three days of practice into two. From a
coaching standpoint, youve done a lot of work
ahead of time, so you can make it happen a lit-
tle bit sooner during the week.
While Knapp is ofcially in charge of the
team while Allen is away, he said the only real
additional responsibility he will have is to
decide when to blow the horn to move to the
next practice period.

NATION/WORLD 17
By Josef Federman
JERUSALEM Israel rejected a
wave of American and European
condemnations Monday over plans
to build thousands of new homes in
West Bank settlements, vowing to
press forward with the construction
in the face of widespread interna-
tional opposition.
The announcement from Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahus
ofce was likely to deepen a rift that
has emerged between Israel and
some of its closest allies following
the U.N.s recognition of a
Palestinian state last week. The
U.N. decision appears to be fueling
a tougher international line against
Israeli settlements in the West Bank
and east Jerusalem.
Israeli ambassadors were sum-
moned for consultations in five
European capitals, and European
ofcials warned of other potential
measures against Israel. In
Washington, the U.S. said the Israeli
actions were especially damaging
to peace prospects.
Italian Premier Mario Monti and
French President Francois Hollande
issued a joint statement saying they
were deeply worried by Israels
settlement plans. The two men,
meeting in Lyon, France, called the
Israeli decisions serious and ille-
gal and a serious obstacle to
Mideast peace.
Netanyahu, however, showed no
signs of bending. His ofce said
Israel would continue to stand up
for its interests even in the face of
international pressure, and there
will be no change in the decision
taken.
Europe could potentially play a
strong role in any international
action against the settlements.
Europe is Israels largest trade part-
ner, and Israel has a partnership
with the EU giving its exports pref-
erential status.
But divisions within Europe
could make it difcult to take any
concerted action. Germany,
Europes largest economy, has a
close relationship with Israel, and
given its history as the perpetrator
of the Holocaust, it is unlikely to
take any strong action against the
Jewish state.
In last weeks decision, the
United Nations General Assembly
overwhelmingly recognized a
Palestinian state in the West Bank,
east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, terri-
tories captured by Israel in the 1967
Mideast war.

WASHINGTON The White
House and its allies are weighing
military options to secure Syrias
chemical and biological weapons,
after U.S. intelligence reports show
the Syrian regime may be readying
those weapons and may be desper-
ate enough to use them, U.S. of-
cials said Monday.
President Barack Obama, in a
speech at the National Defense
University on Monday, pointedly
warned Syrian President Bashar
Assad not to use the weapons.
Today I want to make it
absolutely clear to Assad and those
under his command: The world is
watching, Obama said. The use of
chemical weapons is and would be
totally unacceptable. And if you
make the tragic mistake of using
these weapons, there will be conse-
quences and you will be held
accountable.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton, in Prague for
meetings with Czech ofcials, said
she wouldnt outline any specics.
But sufce it to say, we are cer-
tainly planning to take action if that
eventuality were to occur, Clinton
said.
Options now being considered
range from aerial strikes to limited
raids by regional forces to secure
the stockpiles, according to one cur-
rent U.S. ofcial, and one former
U.S. ofcial, briefed on the matter.

the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will
be consequences and you will be held accountable.

MEXICO CITY Software com-
pany founder John McAfee said
Monday he has ed from Belize using
a bizarre ruse, adding yet another
chapter in what threatens to become
one of the biggest media fugitive fren-
zies since O.J. Simpson led police on
a low-speed chase in 1994. McAfee
claimed in a blog posting he had evad-
ed authorities by staging an elaborate
distraction in neighboring Mexico.
In an email to the Associated
Press, McAfee conrmed a posting
to his website in which he described,
in what appeared to be joking tones,
how he mounted
the ruse.
My double,
carrying on (sic)
a North Korean
passport under
my name, was
detained in
Mexico for pre-
planned misbe-
havior, McAfee
wrote in the posting, but due to
indifference on the part of authori-
ties (he) was evicted from the jail
and was unable to serve his intended
purpose in our exit plan.
McAfee says hes left

HEALTH/LOCAL
More than a third of Americans have been vaccinated, and the vaccine formulated for this
year is well-matched to the strains of the virus seen so far, CDC ofcials said.
By Mike Stobbe
NEW YORK Flu season in the U.S. is off
to its earliest start in nearly a decade and it
could be a bad one.
Health ofcials on Monday said suspected u
cases have jumped in ve Southern states, and
the primary strain circulating tends to make
people sicker than other types. It is particularly
hard on the elderly.
It looks like its shaping up to be a bad u
season, but only time will tell, said Dr.
Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
The good news is that the nation seems fair-
ly well prepared, Frieden said. More than a
third of Americans have been vaccinated, and
the vaccine formulated for this year is well-
matched to the strains of the virus seen so far,
CDC ofcials said.
Higher-than-normal reports of u have come
in from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Texas. An uptick like this usual-
ly doesnt happen until after Christmas. Flu-
related hospitalizations are also rising earlier
than usual, and there have already been two
deaths in children.
Hospitals and urgent care centers in northern
Alabama have been bustling. Fortunately, the
cases have been relatively mild, said Dr. Henry
Wang, an emergency medicine physician at the
University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Parts of Georgia have seen a boom in trafc,
too. Its not clear why the u is showing up so
early, or how long it will stay.
My advice is: Get the vaccine now, said Dr.
James Steinberg, an Emory University infec-
tious diseases specialist in Atlanta.
The last time a conventional u season start-
ed this early was the winter of 2003-04, which
proved to be one of the most lethal seasons in
the past 35 years, with more than 48,000
deaths. The dominant type of u back then was
the same one seen this year.
One key difference between then and now: In
2003-04, the vaccine was poorly matched to the
predominant u strain. Also, theres more vac-
cine now, and vaccination rates have risen for
the general public and for key groups such as
pregnant women and health care workers.
An estimated 112 million Americans have
been vaccinated so far, the CDC said. Flu vac-
cinations are recommended for everyone 6
months or older.
On average, about 24,000 Americans die
each u season, according to the CDC.
Flu usually peaks in midwinter. Symptoms
can include fever, cough, runny nose, head and
body aches and fatigue.
CDC says U.S. flu season
starts early, could be bad
elevate nearly a mile of Caltrain tracks above
San Bruno, allowing multiple daily trains to
pass safely above trafc and pedestrians on
newly constructed bridges passing over inter-
sections at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus
avenues. Creating the elevated tracks has
required ongoing work for some time. On
Friday, Adel Kasim led a lawsuit against
Caltrain and the Peninsula Corridor Joint
Powers Board claiming that pile driving work
caused damages to an apartment building at
515 Huntington Ave. As a result, Kasim is ask-
ing for the cost of the repairs, $24,730, to be
covered.
Caltrain representatives declined to com-
ment since they have yet to be served.
Kasim notes that the project included pile
driving in August. The work caused ground
vibrations that resulted in damages to the
building including exterior and interior cracks
and problems with the roof, gutter and con-
crete decking. Caltrain representatives did a
walk-through in the building Aug. 9 but did
not respond to claims for reimbursement,
according to the lawsuit.
Plans are on schedule to start operating
trains on the new tracks by spring 2013, and
the entire project is on track to be completed
the following fall. The reinforced concrete
support structures sit atop a series of more
than 300 steel pilings, some of which plunge
more than 70 feet into the ground.
In addition, the new overhead tracks pass
above BARTs tracks to San Francisco
International Airport. Once complete, the
project will include a new 800-foot long ele-
vated train station between San Mateo and San
Bruno avenues.

significantly for October compared to last
year from $4.8 million in 2011 to $6.4 mil-
lion this year, a 33 percent increase.
For the year, total farebox revenue is up
19.7 percent, from $20 million last year to
$24 million this year, according to a staff
report the Peninsula Joint Powers Board will
hear at its Thursday meeting.
The average weekday ridership for
October climbed 21 percent over the same
period last year from 42,618 to the new
record high of 51,716.
Total ridership for October was 1.4 million
compared to 1.15 million last year, a 24 per-
cent increase and for the year, total ridership
is up 12.9 percent from 4.7 million passen-
gers last year compared to 5.4 million pas-
sengers this year, according to the staff
report.
Shuttle ridership also continues to climb.
Average shuttle ridership was up 19.7 per-
cent in October compared to last year and,
for the year, average shuttle ridership is up
28.8 percent. A total of 9,187 riders took
shuttles in October compared to 7,672 for
the same month last year. For the year, shut-
tle ridership is up by 28.8 percent from
6,848 passengers a day in 2011 to 8,820 rid-
ers a day this fiscal year, which started July
1.
Ridership has climbed for more than two
years now as Caltrain sets to embark on a
multi-year modernization project that will
electrify its tracks, allowing it to run more
trains when the project is completed in 2019.
The board is set Thursday to authorize an
increase to the agencys capital budget by
$50.5 million for the Communications-
Based Overlay Signal System, an advanced
signaling system needed for an electrified
system.
The modernization effort is expected to
cost $1.5 billion and make the tracks com-
patible with the states future high-speed rail
system from the Bay Area to Los Angeles.
When the JPB took over the operation of
Caltrain in June 1992, average weekday rid-
ership was 20,161. Since then, ridership has
increased nearly 150 percent.

HEALTH 19
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO The now familiar term
Aspergers disorder is being dropped. And
abnormally bad and frequent temper tantrums
will be given a scientic-sounding diagnosis
called DMDD. But dyslexia and other learn-
ing disorders remain.
The revisions come in the rst major rewrite
in nearly 20 years of the diagnostic guide used
by the nations psychiatrists. Changes were
approved Saturday.
Full details of all the revisions will come next
May when the American Psychiatric
Associations new diagnostic manual is pub-
lished, but the impact will be huge, affecting
millions of children and adults worldwide. The
manual also is important for the insurance
industry in deciding what treatment to pay for,
and it helps schools decide how to allot special
education.
This diagnostic guide denes what constel-
lations of symptoms doctors recognize as
mental disorders, said Dr. Mark Olfson, a
Columbia University psychiatry professor.
More important, he said, it shapes who will
receive what treatment. Even seemingly subtle
changes to the criteria can have substantial
effects on patterns of care.
Olfson was not involved in the revision
process. The changes were approved Saturday
in suburban Washington, D.C., by the psychi-
atric associations board of trustees.
The aim is not to expand the number of peo-
ple diagnosed with mental illness, but to ensure
that affected children and adults are more accu-
rately diagnosed so they can get the most
appropriate treatment, said Dr. David Kupfer.
He chaired the task force in charge of revising
the manual and is a psychiatry professor at the
University of Pittsburgh.
One of the most hotly argued changes was
how to dene the various ranges of autism.
Some advocates opposed the idea of dropping
the specic diagnosis for Aspergers disorder.
People with that disorder often have high intel-
ligence and vast knowledge on narrow subjects
but lack social skills. Some who have the con-
dition embrace their quirkiness and vow to con-
tinue to use the label.
And some Aspergers families opposed any
change, fearing their kids would lose a diagno-
sis and no longer be eligible for special servic-
es.
But the revision will not affect their educa-
tion services, experts say.
The new manual adds the term autism spec-
trum disorder, which already is used by many
experts in the eld. Aspergers disorder will be
dropped and incorporated under that umbrella
diagnosis. The new category will include kids
with severe autism, who often dont talk or
interact, as well as those with milder forms.
Kelli Gibson of Battle Creek, Mich., who has
four sons with various forms of autism, said
Saturday she welcomes the change. Her boys
all had different labels in the old diagnostic
manual, including a 14-year-old with
Aspergers.
To give it separate names never made sense
to me, Gibson said. To me, my children all
had autism.
Three of her boys receive special education
services in public school; the fourth is enrolled
in a school for disabled children. The new
autism diagnosis wont affect those services,
Gibson said. She also has a 3-year-old daughter
without autism.
People with dyslexia also were closely
watching for the new updated doctors guide.
Many with the reading disorder did not want
their diagnosis to be dropped. And it wont be.
Instead, the new manual will have a broader
learning disorder category to cover several con-
ditions including dyslexia, which causes dif-
culty understanding letters and recognizing
written words.
Aspergers dropped from revised diagnosis manual

An Oakland medical marijuana dispensary
that bills itself as the nations largest has won
the rst round in its ght to stay open amid a
federal crackdown. A California judge ruled
last week that Harborside Health Centers
landlord cant evict the pot shop even though
the U.S. attorney for Northern California is
threatening to seize her property.
Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo says
Ana Chretiens claim that Harborside must go
because it is engaging in illegal activity does
not hold up because state law allows nonprof-
its to distribute medical marijuana.
Grillo said in his ruling that he sympathized
with Chretiens difcult position.
Harborside is a spa-like fixture on
Oaklands waterfront with close to 100,000
registered customers and 84 full-time employ-
ees that offers an average of 30 varieties of
medical marijuana every day. With $22 mil-
lion in annual sales, it pays about $3 million in
federal, state and local taxes annually, accord-
ing to Executive Director Steve DeAngelo.

Mississippi, according to the report.
All young people need opportunities
to gain work experience and build the
skills that are essential to being suc-
cessful as an adult, Patrick McCarthy,
president and CEO of the foundation,
said in the press release. Ensuring
youth are prepared for the high-skilled
jobs available in todays economy must
be a national priority, for the sake of
their future roles as citizens and par-
ents, the future of our workforce and
the strength of our nation as a whole.
Overall, the study found 6.5 million
people, ages 16 to 24, who are neither
in school nor working. In California,
more than 850,000 youth fit into that
category. Such numbers raise concerns
since students without early work expe-
rience are likely to experience unem-
ployment later, according to the report.
This report illustrates the need to
provide teens and young adults clearer
direction to college and careers, and
makes the case for stronger connections
between the experience they gain in and
out of the classroom, said Ted
Lempert, president of Children Now, a
nonprofit advocacy group.
Creating multiple, flexible opportuni-
ties for youth was suggested through
the report. Specifically, the report rec-
ommends:
A national youth employment strat-
egy that streamlines systems and makes
financial aid, funding and other support
services more accessible and flexible;
encourages more businesses to hire
young people; and focuses on results,
not process.
Aligning resources within commu-
nities and among public and private
funders to create collaborative efforts to
support youth.
Exploring new ways to create jobs
through social enterprises such as
Goodwill and microenterprises, with
the support of public and private
investors.
Employer-sponsored earn-and-learn
programs that foster the talent and
skills that businesses require and
develop the types of employees they
need.

It was constructed in the early 1970s
and won many national awards. It was
also featured in Architectural Digest as
one of the foremost condominium devel-
opments in the country. The rst condo
was occupied in mid 1975 and sold for
$46,000, according to the communitys
website.
Many large condo properties in Foster
City are aging and some, such as the
Admirality, went through major renova-
tions the past couple of years as home-
owners there also assessed themselves
anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000,
depending on unit size, to repair major
dry rot, failing windows and doors and
make improvements to the structure.
The assessment will hopefully keep
property values high at the complex as
several of the units went through fore-
closure this past year, one homeowner
told the Daily Journal.
The assessment process was not easy,
however, as some of the HOA board
members resigned in protest of the spe-
cial assessment, Murray said.
In total, the assessment will raise
about $3.5 million for major structural
upgrades related to dry rot although the
board was seeking $7 million, said
Debbie Corazzelli, who sits on the
board.
The board started looking into major
upgrades about four years ago, she said.
Property values have dropped at Island
J greater than the surrounding market,
Corazzelli said.
I think theyll come back so we can
return this property to be the jewel of
Foster City, she said.
Construction should start in the rst
quarter of 2013, she said.
The Center for California Homeowner
Association Law works to get consumer
protection laws on the books laws
that govern assessment collection and
that rein in the use of foreclosure to
force payment of assessments, Murray
said.
The high HOA fees, mortgage pay-
ments and the special $20,000 assess-
ment could be too burdensome for some
homeowners, Murray said.

reserves and a $4 million vehicle
replacement fund to protect the citys
ability to deal with difficult budget sit-
uations.
Nantell was thankful for voter
approval to fund an additional $2 mil-
lion annually in capital improvement
projects and another $32 million in
storm drain repair. Over the 12 years,
Burlingame took on three long-term
planning documents, created a profes-
sional human resources department,
improved water and sewer infrastruc-
ture, planned and funded Burlingame
Avenue improvements and streetscape,
increased professionalism of the police
department and maintained a world
class library operation, Nantell said.
He was disappointed that the city was
unable to replace the recreation center
during his tenure although talks to
create a new plan are starting and that
the general plan has not been updated in
more than 40 years.
It was a long path to city leadership.
Nantell was raised as one of six chil-
dren in Wisconsin. He grew up through
community-based athletic programs
and took on leadership roles within it
until he was in college, working during
the summer as a playground leader or
overseeing the skating rink. He holds a
bachelors degree in psychology from
the University of Wisconsin, Madison
and a masters in parks and recreation
administration from San Francisco
State University. It was the move for the
latter degree that brought Nantell and
his wife, Christine, to the Bay Area.
After earning his masters degree,
Nantell began working in San Mateo at
the Lakeshore Recreation Center. From
1981 to 1985, he worked as the super-
intendent of recreation and human serv-
ices and was then promoted to assistant
city manager. When the city manager
became available, Nantell wasnt inter-
ested. Instead, he took the deputy city
manager role in April 1990. While the
deputy, Nantell was given a unique
opportunity to serve for more than a
year as the interim fire chief starting in
1995.
Realizing he was ready to lead a city,
Nantell jumped at the chance to join
Burlingame when the position became
available. In November 2000, Nantell
joined Burlingame as city manager.
Nantell officially retired at the begin-
ning of the year but stayed on during
2012 while Burlingame officials sought
his replacement. Burlingame recently
announced the new city manager, Lisa
Goldman, who current serves as assis-
tant city manager of Alameda.

NANTELL
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If a close pal
does something that you fnd to be offensive, dont
stew about it in silence. Air your grievance, allowing
it to be resolved.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be careful when
getting involved with friends in a joint expenditure.
Make sure that everyone pitches in equally when it
comes time to foot the bill.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In your heart, youll
know what needs doing, yet you still might devote
only a modicum of effort to getting it done. Your
rewards will refect your input.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont be too quick
to chastise co-workers if they arent pulling their
weight. Their explanation might end up pointing to
the example youve been setting.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This isnt a particularly
good day to take a gamble, but if for some reason
you feel you need to, bet only on yourself and your
abilities, in situations that you totally control.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are strong
indications that you wont be able to exercise the
necessary resolve or willpower to overcome a tough
situation. Both the fesh and the spirit must be willing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can be a well-
organized person, but only when you choose, which
isnt likely to be the case currently. Your workspace
could be cluttered with a lot of nondescript items.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Disappointment is
likely if you expect too much from people who are
only casual acquaintances. Most will feel they dont
owe you a thing, and wont want to go out of their
way for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you have something
going that is likely to ruffe feathers, dont try to shift
the blame for household friction onto anybody else
but you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Guard against
inclinations toward the negative in terms of what youre
hoping to accomplish. Adopting a defeatist attitude will
impede any progress youre trying to make.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your spending is likely
to be strongly infuenced by your most recent
compatriots. If youre pinching pennies or trying to
save some money, dont hang out with high rollers.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- One of the weakest
and least effective things you could do is to attempt
to intimidate subordinates. If you want them to do
your bidding, try something positive.
