President Barack Obama has issued an executive action that some of his Republican opponents may be
hard-pressed to disagree with sparing Thanksgiving turkeys from the dinner table. In the spirit of the holiday,
Obama on Wednesday took action fully within my legal authority, the same kind of action taken by Democrats
and Republican presidents before me, to pardon the National Thanksgiving Turkey, a 49-pound bird named
Cheese. He also spared an alternate turkey, a 47-pounder named Mac. Both came from Cooper Farms in
Oakwood, Ohio.

Pet massage gaining popularity
PHOENIX Spa treatments dont stop with people. You
wont see any aromatherapy candles around, but animals get
massages, too, and its become a regular service that many
pet owners value as more than just glorified petting.
People call me because their dogs are having problems,
said Shelah Barr, a San Francisco dog massage therapist.
The work I do is important for animals so they have a high
quality of life.
Practitioners say massage can be a preventive measure for
younger animals and rehabilitative for older ones by boosting flexibility, circulation and immunity. As its popularity
continues to grow, primarily among dog and horse owners,
so does the debate about regulation. Some veterinarians argue
that pet massage is a form of veterinary medicine that requires
a license, but whether therapists need one varies by state. The
issue has sparked a lawsuit in Arizona, where three practitioners are suing the state veterinarian licensing board.
Pet owners spent $4.4 billion last year on other services,
a category that includes grooming, training and services such
as massage, according to the American Pet Products
Association, which tracks national spending trends in the
pet industry. That is a 6.1 percent jump from 2012.

Parrish also suggests taking stock
of what you already have around the
house: Instead of buying every holiday necessity, shopping your
home for existing solutions is one of
the easiest ways to decorate. A throw
blanket makes a cozy tree skirt. Use
a scarf as a table runner. Use nature
for holiday decoration think backyard
branches,
berries
and
pinecones, she says.
Fill a vase or candle holder with
jingle bells or peppermints. Wrap
red, green or metallic ribbon around
plain white pillar candles. Instead of
candles, top candle stick holders
with ornaments or snow globes.
Faux fur or knitted throws and pillow covers; throw pillows with snow
scenes or deer, antler and deer accessories; and glittery pillows evoke
the festive spirit without overt reference.
Consider scented candles, bowls of
spiced goodies, seasonal music and
warm, soft textures; bringing all five
senses into play enhances the holiday mood.
RETRO HOLIDAY
Vintage is going to be a popular
holiday theme, especially when it
comes to typography, says Parrish.
Look for throwback fonts on everything from toss pillows to serving
trays.

change will hold their children back.
It seems youre holding 70 percent
back for the 30 percent who arent
making it, said Highlands parent
Andrew Norman. Isnt there also the
worry students are just going to tune
out? If youre teaching remedial stuff
here when your kid is looking for
something a lot higher. You guys
never listen and this is Silicon
Valley, our kids are in competition.
He noted schools should be moving
toward more personalized learning
anyway.

going to Hillsdale High School to
take geometry. There are 10 algebra
classes being offered districtwide,
said Molly Barton, assistant superintendent for student services. The district uses the Holt Mathematics textbook for sixth- through eighth-grade,
while Everyday Math is used for K-5.
The book contains content taught in
Common Core, but does not necessarily go through materials in the order
Common Cores teaches them.
Publishers are currently creating
Common Core content, Going said.
The movement for Common Core
materials has been slow.
The proposed common-core math
pathway for an average student starts
with Common Core math in middle
school, then follows the algebra I,
geometry, algebra II and pre-calculus
pathway, leaving out the possibility
of advanced placement math unless
students complete geometry in summer school or a class that combines
algebra II and pre-calculus.
Communication
When the meeting turned to audience members complaining that the
elementary school district implements major decisions under the rug,
the district said it did its best to let
parents know about the changes.
These are the pathways were
going to start with, Going said.
Weve barely begun. I apologize if it
seems that we didnt communicate; we
thought the video was enough.
She also noted she shared the pathways with various parents.
Still, some parents were not satisfied with Goings answer.
Why did you choose this specific
pathway? said Anne Pesquie, who
has children in both districts. Why
didnt you communicate about that?
You communicated the change of the
calendar, but this? Nothing. Parents
from Borel came to you last May and
said, I think that this is narrow. We
are not heard.
Some parents expressed fears that
parents will remove their children
from the district and children in the
district will lose intelligent peers.
Others explained that the way the
math track was formerly lent itself to
some students struggling.
My daughter is part of the 30 percent, said Susan Strong, a parent of a
high school junior who accelerated in
math previously. She started to falter
in algebra II because she didnt have
the basis. Her algebra I was not deep
enough, by the time she skipped a
year back from geometry, I saw she
would not be able to take pre-calculus.
Strong added that some of kids who
are straight A students are getting the
Ds and Fs in math. Calculus is not
on the SAT (college admission exam)
and if one doesnt have the solid basis
on the algebra, they need to take prep
classes, she said.
The school board will also likely
discuss the math pathways at its Dec.
11 meeting. All sixth-graders will
take a math placement exam by Feb.
4, 2015, according to the district. Go
to smfc. k12. ca. us and click on
Common Core Parent Resources on
the left-hand side of the page for more
information on the math pathways
changes.

San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Rita Grubbs be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.

this court as follows: January 14, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400

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 the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters
to a general personal representative, as
defined in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the
California Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want
to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. 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
