Less than half of county children pass,higher than state average
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While students in San Mateo County performed better than their counterparts statewide on the annual Physical Fitness Test, less than half received healthy scores in all six areas of the exam, according to results released by the California Department of Education Wednesday. Statewide, 31 percent of students

received healthy scores in all six areas of the latest Physical Fitness Test. San Mateo County scored slightly higher with 37.9 percent of students earning healthy scores. With less than half the students tested scoring a not healthy score in at least one area, the numbers released by State Superintendent Tom Torlakson Tuesday coincided with a new state effort to promote healthy living. Todays results are clear: when only 31 percent of children are physically t,

thats a public health challenge we cant wait to address, Torlakson said in a prepared statement. The 2011 Physical Fitness Test was taken by 1.34 million students or 93 percent of the students enrolled in fth, seventh and ninth grades. Students were tested in six areas: aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, trunk extensor strength, upper body strength and exibility. This years test

This Day in History

1941

Japans Emperor Hirohito approved waging war against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands after his government rejected U.S. demands contained in the Hull Note, including a call for Japan to withdraw all of its forces from China and French Indochina. In 1824, the presidential election was turned over to the U.S. House of Representatives when a deadlock developed between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. (Adams ended up the winner.) In 1860, the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations was rst published in weekly serial form. In 1909, the rst kibbutz was founded in the Jordan Valley by a group of Jewish pioneers; the collective settlement became known as Degania Alef. In 1921, the Navy ew the rst nonrigid dirigible to use helium; the C-7 traveled from Hampton Roads, Va., to Washington, D.C. In 1934, Soviet communist ofcial Sergei M. Kirov, an associate of Josef Stalin, was assassinated in Leningrad, resulting in a massive purge. In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus; the incident sparked a year-long boycott of the buses by blacks. In 1969, the U.S. government held its rst draft lottery since World War II. In 1973, David Ben-Gurion, Israels rst prime minister, died in Tel Aviv at age 87. In 1990, British and French workers digging the Channel Tunnel between their countries nally met after knocking out a passage in a service tunnel. In 1991, Ukrainians voted overwhelmingly for independence from the Soviet Union. Ten years ago: Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in back-to-back explosions at a downtown Jerusalem pedestrian mall, killing 11 bystanders.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A South San Francisco company owes nearly $1.3 million in unpaid state taxes, making it the eighth largest of 16 new delinquencies for the fourth quarter of 2011, according to the California State Board of Equalization. H. Young Enterprises, Inc. owes $1,299,292. The companys businesses include a dessert restaurant in The Metreon and Cafe Espresso at San Francisco

International Airport, according to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Since January 2007, the BOE is required by state law to post online a list of the largest 250 delinquencies greater than $100,000. Those affected are informed of the public disclosure beforehand. The BOE said the publicity is a successful way to push delinquent taxpayers to make good on the debts. The South San Francisco company is

among 16 new debtors on the list, totaling more than $21.1 million in sales and use tax owed the state. The total 250 top delinquencies for the fourth quarter total more than $419.5 million. Since the program began, 38 taxpayers have paid off $43.4 million in sales and use tax liabilities. The full list of delinquencies is available at www.box.ca.gov/cgi-bin/deliq.cgi.

The window for the Mavericks Big Wave Invitational, which was due to open Thursday, will now open Jan. 1 and close March. 31, 2012, organizer and big wave surfer Jeff Clark said in a statement.

Feds: 32 tons of pot in tunnel


SAN DIEGO Tis the season for nding cross-border drug tunnels. The latest secret passage equipped with a hydraulic lift, electric rail carts and a wooden staircase was discovered Tuesday on the U.S.-Mexico border, highlighting an emerging seasonal trend. For three years, authorities have found sophisticated tunnels shortly before the winter holidays in what ofcials speculate is an attempt by drug smugglers to take advantage of Mexicos fall marijuana harvest. The discovery of the 600-yard tunnel resulted in seizures of 32 tons of marijuana, one of the largest pot busts in U.S. history. It linked warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana and was equipped with lighting and ventilation. Wooden planks lined the oor about 40 feet underground. This is an incredibly efcient tunnel designed to move a lot of narcotics, said Derek Benner, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements special agent in charge of investigations in San Diego said Wednesday. Authorities recovered nearly 17 tons of marijuana at the warehouse in San Diegos Otay Mesa area, nearly 12 tons inside a truck in Los Angeles and about 4 tons in Mexico. Six people were charged in federal court in Southern California with conspiracy to distribute marijuana.

Obama:Massive blowif GOP blocks payroll tax


SCRANTON, Pa. Blending governing with re-election politics, President Barack Obama roused a cheering northeast Pennsylvania crowd Wednesday as he warned of a massive blow to the economy if Republicans block a payroll tax extension because of his insistence on a millionaires tax. Obama took to the road with a dual pitch for money, campaigning for more cash in the pockets of U.S. workers and for his campaign treasury as well. Obama pressed his case at a campaign-style rally in working-class Scranton, Pa., where he said Republicans had to choose between lower taxes for the wealthy, or a payroll tax cut that would help working Americans. Republicans say they would support extending the payroll tax cut, but reject new taxes to offset the costs. Are you going to cut taxes for the middle class and those who are trying to get into the middle class, or are you going to protect massive tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires? he said. Are you going to ask a few hundred thousand people who have done very, very well to do their fair share or are you going to raise taxes for hundreds of millions of people across the country? Obama traveled later Wednesday to donorrich New York City to raise money for his already ush re-election bid, in a day illustrating the dual policy and political demands on the president as the 2012 campaign season nears. Despite the combative tone in Scranton, Obama later sounded more conciliatory toward Republicans such as House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. For the last couple of days Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell have both indicated that it probably does make sense not to have taxes go up for middle class families, particularly since theyve all taken an oath not to raise taxes, Obama said. And so its possible well see some additional progress in the next couple of weeks that can continue to help strengthen the economy. The populist pitch in Scranton and the fundraisers in New York served as political bookends for the president. He rst rallied the type of working-class crowd that would benet from the tax cuts and then appealed for campaign contributions from donors, many of whom would be the ones to shoulder the tax increases Obama supports. Obama told about 50 donors at a Greenwich Village restaurant that he still needs to make sure that key aspects the health care law get implemented in 2014, that banking regulations are enacted and that energy policies are updated. Im going to need another term to nish the job, he told them. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, Republicans said they were prepared to extend the temporary payroll tax cut, but they opposed Democrats plan to pay for it by taxing incomes over $1 million, setting up a showdown over how to nd mutually acceptable savings of over $100 billion before any extension could become law. The GOP released a plan of their own that would raise money by freezing federal workforce salaries and means-testing government benets instead. The full payroll tax of 6.2 percent would be restored if Congress does not act by years end, increasing taxes on 160 million Americans. Obama and the Democrats want to expand this years 2 percentage point reduction in the payroll tax as well as extend, it while Republicans favor a straight extension. If Congress doesnt act to extend this tax cut then most of you, the typical middle-class family, is going to see your taxes go up by $1,000 at the worst possible time, Obama said.

Republicans: Offsetting cuts must cover payroll tax relief


By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republican congressional leaders stressed a willingness Wednesday to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut due to expire Dec. 31, setting up a year-end clash with Democrats over how to pay for a provision at the heart of President Barack Obamas jobs program. We just think we shouldnt be punishing job creators to pay for it, said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, scorning a Democratic proposal to raise taxes on million-dollar income earners. Instead, Senate Republicans called for a gradual reduction in the size of the federal bureaucracy, as well as steps to make sure that million-dollar earners dont benet from unemployment benets or food stamps. They

also recommended raising Medicare premiums for individuals with incomes over $750,000 a year. House Speaker John Boehner said atly that any tax cut extension will be offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget to avoid raising federal decits. Numerous Republican ofcials noted that Obama had said the same thing was true of the plan he unveiled in a nationally televised speech to Congress in September. The events in Congress, coupled with Obamas fresh appeal for renewal of the payroll tax cut while speaking Wednesday in Scranton, Pa., indicated that leaders in both parties want to seek a compromise less than a week after Congress high-prole supercommittee failed to nd common ground on a related economic issue, a plan to reduce decits.

After raids,Wall Street protesters shift tactics

A city ofcial walks inside a tent at the Occupy Los Angeles encampment at City Hall Park.

NEW YORK The overnight police raids in Philadelphia and Los Angeles that dismantled two of the nations biggest Occupy Wall Street encampments leave just a few major occupations still going on around the U.S. But activists are already changing tactics and warning of a winter of discontent, with rallies and marches every week. The camps may bloom again in the spring, organizers said, and next summer could bring huge demonstrations at the Republican and Democratic conventions, when the whole world is watching. But for now they are promoting dozens of smaller actions, such as picketing the president in New York and staging sit-ins at homes marked for foreclosure.

We intend to use this for what it is basically six months to get our feet underneath us, to get strong, said Phil Striegel, a community activist in San Francisco. On Wednesday, masked sanitation workers hauled away 25 tons of debris from the lawns around Los Angeles City Hall after police raided the protesters camp in the middle of the night and arrested more than 300 people. In Philadelphia, dozens of police patrolled a plaza outside City Hall after sweeping it of demonstrators and arresting 50. In the past few weeks, police broke up encampments in such cities as Portland, Ore., Oakland, Calif., and New York, where the sitdown protests against social inequality and corporate excesses began in mid-September. Demonstrators are still at it in

places like Boston and Washington, which each had encampments of about 100 tents Wednesday. Dozens of protesters are ghting eviction from a community college campus in Seattle While some observers wondered whether the movement would wither without ground on which to make its stand, many protesters refused to concede defeat. Protesters in Philadelphia marched from the citys well-to-do Rittenhouse Square to police headquarters Wednesday afternoon and also called for a victory march for Friday or Saturday. Occupy Philly is alive and well, said Katonya Mosley, a member of the groups legal collective. She said members have been communicating via list serves, text messages and email and planned to continue meeting in cafes and other spaces.

SAN FERNANDO It was hardly business as usual when San Fernando Mayor Mario Hernandez took to the microphone at a City Council meeting to say he had lost his business, his money and his wife and was having an affair with a councilwoman. His wife, seated in the front row for the Nov. 21 session, stood up and contradicted him about the separation. Before she could say much, Hernandez ordered police to remove her from the hall for speaking out of turn. He then adjourned the meeting and left with the woman he said was his mistress, Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre. The San Fernando Sun rst reported details of the meeting in the small town in a corner of the San Fernando Valley. Hernandez also told the meeting that he was ling personal and corporate bankruptcy, and

that he had been separated from his wife since June. Saying political foes had been spreading gossip about his personal life, the mayor said: And secondly, Id like to put out there, to squash the rumors, that yes, I have been in a relationship with Councilwoman (Maribel) De La Torre, according to

the newspaper. De La Torre, in her third term on the council and a former mayor, did not immediately reply to an email message sent Wednesday by The Associated Press. Anna Hernandez, seated in the front row, stood and while her husband talked, said Im his wife ... we werent separated, the paper reported.

Analyst: New rail plan doesnt meet rules


SACRAMENTO The states legislative analyst says Californias plan for a $98 billion high-speed rail system to connect Northern and Southern California does not comply with some parts of the 2008 ballot measure voters approved to provide the seed money, providing the latest obstacle for the embattled project. It says Proposition 1A required rail ofcials to identify all sources of committed funds for a usable segment of the line and to clear all environmental requirements before the $9 billion in bonds could be sold. The latest plan from the California HighSpeed Rail Authority proposes to start with a 130-mile stretch of track from Merced to Bakerseld that would serve as a test track for 220 mph trains and could be used by existing

Ruling signals setback for state in pension case


LOS ANGELES A California judge on Wednesday tentatively rejected a request from prosecutors to declare that a former state pension board member orchestrated illegal investment deals and should surrender $40 million in fees. The preliminary ruling by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge John Reid represents at least a temporary setback for the government in a case involving allegations of fraud and kickbacks at the California Public Employees Retirement System.

Russell races into history


Jockey Russell Baze became thoroughbred racings winningest jockey the week of Dec. 2, 2006 when he broke Laft Pincay Jr.s record with a victory aboard Buttery Belle at Bay Meadows, with his father, Joe, looking on. Win No. 9,531 came in the fourth race, when the 48-year-old Baze found a hole along the rail and drove through it. He whipped the lly right-handed down the stretch to win on the Longden turf course, named for Johnny Longden, who once held the record Baze broke. When I got started galloping horses, it was so thrilling and challenging, said Baze, already in racings Hall of Fame. From the start, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I was just praying I wouldnt outgrow the profession.

It would be the third tax proposal in as many years.

Moodys puts Safeway ratings on review


NEW YORK Moodys Investors Service is putting Safeway Inc.s ratings on review for a potential downgrade after the grocery store operator said that it would raise $1.5 billion in debt. The ratings agency said Wednesday that the announcement likely shows that Safeways nancial policy is becoming more aggressive and if its debt levels climb, then credit metrics will weaken. Moodys said the ratings on review include the Baa2 senior unsecured rating and the Prime-2 commercial paper rating. The ratings agency said that the review will concentrate on Safeways future capital structure, projected credit metrics, liquidity and performance expectations over the next 18 months.

OPINION
ing, a police ofcer pulled up next to me at a red light. He rolled his window down, smiled and said, I love all your lights! Another predawn morning on an almost-deserted El Camino Real in Atherton, I was stopped next to a motorist at a red light for what seemed like a very long time. He rolled down his window and said, Why are we sitting here so long? Theres no one coming on the cross street! And one warm afternoon on Middleeld Road in Redwood City, I was stopped at another long red light, right behind another bicyclist. Seeing me waiting behind him, he struck up a conversation with me, and ended up offering me a sip from his water bottle, which (he said) contained something a bit stronger and more interesting than water. 2). But dont make too much contact. One really polite, legal and safe thing motorists can do when encountering bicyclists on the road is to give them a wide berth when passing. I know just how scary it can be to suddenly see a vehicle zooming past me, just inches from my left elbow. If the road is too narrow for you to pass, and too crowded for you to change lanes to give me extra room, then just wait patiently behind me, like you would for construction equipment, farm vehicles, Amish buggies or any other slower road users. When its safe, you can pass me widely. If I had a bumper, I would buy a bumper sticker for it that says, I [Heart] Wide Berths. 3). Keep the unnecessary noise down. I think I can speak not only for other bicyclists, but also for pedestrians, sidewalk diners and other motorists when I say: Fix your mufer! And turn down the music! Motorized vehicles make plenty of noise even when the mufers are functioning properly and the stereo is off. Please dont add to the din. Part

K, Thanksgiving is over. Lets proceed into the insanity (and fun!) that is the month of December! As I contemplate the trafc jams around our shopping centers and downtowns, I am reminded about the benets of not owning a car and of getting around mainly by bicycle. Im not adding to the gridlock or air pollution, Im less likely to put on holiday pounds and I usually get a parking space right by the front door of my destination, sometimes locking my bike to a curbside tree or sign post. I realize it sometimes rains at this time of year, but I have found there are many dry and downright warm days too. And even if the sky is actually precipitating on you, you can only get so wet, no wetter than that. You probably wont melt! Taking a hot shower and changing into dry, warm clothes after returning home from a wet bike ride are a couple of the most pleasant bike-related experiences you can have. If youre a person who, for whatever reason, cant ride a bike, you can contribute to the good will of the season by being nice to a bicyclist. Here are three easy ways to do that. 1). Make contact. Stay awake and aware. Look around you. Expect to see pedestrians and bicyclists, among other road users. Give a smile and a wave as you acknowledge the existence of others. I dont drive a convertible, but my head is always out in the elements, and I never use ear buds or headphones to listen to music while bicycling. This means we can talk to each other. I enjoy yielding to pedestrians and saying, Go ahead! with a smile. Some of my most amusing moments on the bike have involved talking to people.

of my bike commute route, heading home from work, includes Junipero Serra Boulevard in Palo Alto. Thats a great bicycling road, but never more relaxing and enjoyable than when all the cars have passed and I can hear only the sound of the wind and the birds. On one bike ride, I was stopped at a red light next to a motorcyclist playing modern, rap-like music so loud it could be heard several blocks away. It was deafening to sit next to I guess the young motorcycle rider didnt mind damaging his hearing, but I was not enjoying the musical selection. I started jigging and bouncing my body up and down in time with the music, in the best imitation of dancing I am capable of doing while on the bike. From the look on his face, he had never seen a woman my age doing any gyrations like that he looked positively sick to his stomach. However, he turned the music off just before the light turned green, so my self-humiliation had its desired effect. Studies have shown that the more bicycle riders are present on the roads, the safer the conditions become for everyone. If you must continue to drive your motorized vehicle, please follow my three holiday suggestions all year long. But better yet: Please increase safety by joining me as a bicycle-riding user of our local roads. Ill give you a smile and a wave when I see you!

Letter to the editor


Not too busy to see that somethings wrong
Editor, In her letter, Too busy to protest in the Nov. 25 edition of the Daily Journal, Terry West is justiably proud of her hard-working, resourceful family. For three generations, theyve worked at least 65 hours and seven days a week. Ironically, though, Ms. West is helping Occupy to prove a point: Why should honest, hard-working people who dont expect a handout from anyone need to work outrageous hours to survive in todays economy? This represents an abuse of our working classes that really has to stop. Maybe it is time, right now, to expect that working hard at one job can lead to promotions and a living wage (so you can take care of your family while also having some time to spend with them). Revolutionary? Maybe, but it didnt seem that way in my parents generation. We all want life to be better for our kids. I hope its a goal we can reach before our childrens generation ends up burned out and disillusioned. Ms. Wests children could not be working any harder. Wouldnt it be nice if their corporate employers paid enough so that instead of working additional jobs they could continue their educations? Oh, but wait, our public universities are overcrowded and underfunded, arent they? It seems like we need a Plan B, or Plan C. Lets not judge human beings based on how many hours they work or what job they do. It doesnt take much time to occupy. My only hope is that when we see injustice in this country, we dont say were too busy to pay attention.

hopping is often a sporting event. There is an arena (the mall usually), a playbook (otherwise known as the Sunday ads) and the occasional victory dance over an awesome deal. But who knew that competition was actually mixed martial arts? Or, more accurately, mixed martial arts with gear in these cases, the proper equipment being hammers, pepper spray and good old-fashioned finger nails. Post-Thanksgiving shopfests once meant a handful of crazy deals and an excuse to work off the feast by circling the malls and fidgeting in lines for hours waiting for the stores to open in the wee hours of the morning. Now, the stores barely wait for the tryptophan to kick in before flinging open the floodgates at midnight or even before and the day after should be given the more fitting name of Black Eye Friday. Every year has its holiday shopping catastrophe, the most infamous of late being the 2008 death of a New York Walmart employee trampled during a stampede by customers clamoring for a television or video game or goodness only knows what unfulfilled promise of rock bottom prices. That aside, others have passed out from fatigue but the majority escaped with little more than a stress headache and some blistered toes. Now, though, shopping is more Thunderdome than Great Mall, the injuries are more normal than anomaly and Cyber Monday is a chance to continue buying while recuperating in the hospital from the brutal Friday madness. This years poster child for crazed shopper undoubtedly goes to the Southern California woman accused of pepper spraying a crowd at Walmart for the sole purpose of nabbing an Xbox 360 ahead of the crowd. Roughly a dozen shoppers needed aid and the woman fled with an Xbox and facing possible criminal charges that trump any cost savings. The anger isnt just for the discount set, either. A woman down at Macys in San Jose allegedly smacked a guy with a hammer twice and threw the tool at him. Police said the woman seemed more motivated by mental illness than bargain hunting but, when it comes to Black Friday, the two now seem to be one and the same. Over in Southington, Conn., a 55-year-old woman mixed holiday cheer and assault by allegedly slashing a woman with a Christmas seashell ornament while running from a craft fair vendor who thought she was shoplifting. One of the criminal charges she now faces? Breach of peace. Breach of Peace on Earth, more like it. As if shoppers dont have to be wary enough of outright abuse by their like-minded peers, they also cant count on them for help. A 61-year-old man with a prior heart condition collapsed while shopping at a Target store in West Virginia on Black Friday. So what did the crowd do? Continued to shop. Some reportedly even walked over his fallen body. Six nurses shopping eventually performed CPR but he later died. Tis the season to qualify for Santas naughty list although there might not be a lot of room left if this behavior continues. So whats the answer to all this nonsense? Avoid packed malls and department stores, shopping only local businesses as urged by the Occupy movement? Not necessarily. Corporate retailers arent the only ones cornering the market of stupid customers. Shop online? Sure, just be wary of scams and try to avoid shipping costs. Make gifts? Forgo gifts? All or some of the above? The bottom line is shoppers should not be deterred by the outrageous actions of a few, even if that number is growing and the constant loop of holiday jingles will eventually drive anybody batty. Maybe, just maybe, youll find the toy that will light up a childs face or the perfect shiny something that will put the sparkle in the eyes of someone special. Or maybe youll just have an excuse to avoid hanging lights and making cookies at home. Just make sure you go armed with something stronger than a 20 percent off coupon.

Banks boost stocks

Wall Street
cautioned that the banks did nothing to provide a permanent x to the problems facing heavily indebted European nations such as Italy and Greece. It only buys time for political leaders. It is a short-term solution, said Jack Ablin, chief investment ofcer at Harris Private Bank. The bottom line on any central bank action is that it papers over the problems, buys time and in some respects takes pressure from politicians. ... If nothings done in a week, this market gain will disappear. Banks stocks soared as fears about an imminent disaster in the European nancial system ebbed. American and European banks are connected by contracts, loans and other nancial entanglements, meaning that a European nancial crisis would punish U.S. bank stocks. The brighter outlook that emerged Wednesday relieved some investor concerns. JPMorgan Chase & Co. jumped 8.4 percent, the most of the 30 Dow components. Morgan Stanley rose 11.1 percent and Citigroup Inc. 8.9 percent. Worries about the nancial system and the reluctance of the European Central Bank to intervene have caused borrowing rates for European nations to skyrocket.

A move by the worlds central banks to lower the cost of borrowing exhilarated investors Wednesday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average soaring 490 points and easing fears of a global credit crisis similar to the one that followed the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. It was the Dows biggest gain since March 2009 and the seventh-largest of all time. Large U.S. banks were among the top performers, jumping as much as 11 percent. Markets in Europe surged, too, with Germanys DAX index climbing 5 percent. The central banks of the world have resolved that there will not be a liquidity shortage, said David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors. And they have learned their lessons from 2008. They dont want to take small steps and do anything incrementally, but make a big bold move that is credible. Wednesdays action by the banks of Europe, the U.S., Britain, Canada, Japan and Switzerland represented an extraordinary coordinated effort. But amid the markets excitement, many doubts loomed.

Home market held back by wary first-timers


By Derek Kravitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON This should be a great time to buy a rst home. Prices have sunk to 2002 levels. Sellers are waiting anxiously as homes languish on the market. Mortgage rates are their lowest ever. Yet the most likely rst-time homeowners, especially young professionals and couples starting families, wont buy these days. Or they cant. Or they already did, during the housing boom. And their absence helps explain why the housing

industry is still depressed. The obstacles range from higher down payments to heavy debt from credit cards and student loans. But even many of those who could afford to buy no longer see it as a wise investment. Prices have sunk 15 percent in three years. Ive looked for a home, but the places we can afford with the money we have are not that great, says Seth Herter, 23, a store manager in suburban St. Louis. It also doesnt seem smart anymore to buy with prices falling. Buying a home just doesnt make sense to us. The proportion of U.S. households that

own homes is at 65.1 percent, its lowest point since 1996, the Census Bureau says. That marks a shift after nearly two decades in which homeownership grew before peaking at 70 percent during the housing boom. The housing bubble lured so many young buyers that it reduced the pool of potential rst-timers to below-normal levels. Thats contributed to the decline in new buyers in recent years. In 2005, at the height of the boom, about 2.8 million first-timers bought homes, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Knights down Crusaders

CCS makes correct call


udos to CCS for recognizing the sheer logistical nightmare of trying to hold the St. Ignatius-Sacred Heart Cathedral Division III championship game at Terra Nova High School Saturday. CCS got with San Francisco Giants ofcials and the parties agreed to move Saturday nights CCS championship game to AT&T Park. Say what you will about the BurlingameSan Mateo, or AragonHillsdale rivalries, they pale in comparison to the rivalry between these two San Francisco Catholic schools, who have been going at it for over 100 years and annually compete for the Bruce-Mahoney Trophy. Terra Nova is a ne facility and can easily accommodate the crowds for the Serra-MenloAtherton Division I matchup at 3 p.m. The stadium has relatively new articial turf, good lighting and enough room to accommodate about 2,500. The downside is the parking in and around campus is limited. The fan interest drawn by the ultimate rivals in the ultimate game will be off the charts. As they say in sports, fans for both the Irish and Wildcats travel well, meaning they are willing to go wherever their team is playing. In the annual regular-season meeting Oct. 21, Sacred Heart Cathedral throttled St. Ignatius

Youll have to excuse the Hillsdale soccer team if they looked a little tired Wednesday afternoon. For one, the season is still in its infant stages, so the players arent anywhere near game shape. Add to that the fact that the Knights played a tough game Tuesday night against Half Moon Bay, and a wee sluggish performance was to be expected from Hillsdale. But with all that said, the Knights defended their home eld and victoriously battled the Riordan Crusaders to a 1-0 win. We played last night and I dont have too many subs, said Hillsdale coach Andy Hodzic. So, they were probably a little tired from that game. I told them to play a little more of the passing game, not to challenge too much and conserve energy. That was a much easier order to follow considering that the games only goal came in the eighth minute. Instead of pressing for a game-winner or an equalizer, the Knights were able to relax a bit and play their game. Its a game that is a complete 180 from the Hillsdale team of 2010-2011. This is a very different team than last years, because we dont have that main forward who can be up there and score goals, Hodzic said. With this team, we like to push the ball on the outside, cross it and try to score. Thats what you try to do with these practice games just play on the ground, go outside and wide with all ball. From the outside-in is how the Knight came across the games only score. After a foul on the left side 25 yards out, Alexander Golden swung a ball in on the re-start. His free kick went directly into the hands of the Riordan keeper, who disastrously

Basketball back in focus WarriorsJackson visits 49ersHarbaugh with lockout nearing end
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK These are the kinds of negotiations NBA fans have been waiting for. Teams began talking to agents Wednesday as the lockout inched closer to its end, and basketball moved back into focus. Dwight Howard and Chris Paul were linked to trade speculation, while free agents such as Tyson Chandler and Nene were in the news after months of attorneys getting all the ink. Now, the players are taking over and the league was set to reopen its facilities for workouts Thursday. Some may arrive out of shape, just as was the case in January 1999 after the NBAs only other shortened season. But theyre anxious to get back, with a little more than three weeks until they start playing games. The guys are going to come in and Im sure theyre going to be in good shape. They want to play, new Houston coach Kevin McHale told reporters. These guys have played basketball their entire lives. They love to play basketball and

theyre excited to get after it. The league still hopes to open training camps and free agency next Friday, leaving both sides scrambling to get business nished in time. The lawsuits have been settled, contingent upon Chris Paul the ratication of a new collective bargaining agreement by Dec. 9. Players are in the process of collecting the signatures needed to approve the reformation of the union, which must be done before the sides can resume bargaining on the remaining Dwight Howard issues that must be settled before each side can vote. NBA ofcials are working to complete a two-game exhibition schedule for each team that will lead to a 66-game regular season,

SANTA CLARA New Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson can learn from 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh when it comes to preparing for a season in short order because of a lockout. Jackson brought his staff to San Franciscos practice Wednesday and met with Harbaugh before the NFC West-leading Niners (9-2) took the eld gearing up for Sundays game against St. Louis. Jackson plans to hit Raiders headquarters Thursday to observe another successful first-year Bay Area coach: Oaklands Hue Jackson. In a charcoal gray Warriors pullover, Jackson expressed how eager he is to get started at last. He referenced the obstacles he has in common with Harbaugh and Jackson without using the word lockout. The NBA has restrictions on how much team ofcials can say even with a tentative deal in place. Its pretty special to begin to prepare for Christmas Day, Jackson said, referencing the season-opening games. Its an exciting time, and Im thrilled to begin to actually pick the brains of great coaches, and to begin to put our ideas into play, and also to see are we headed in the right direction, are we doing the right

things, because heres obviously a situation where you have a coach that had some of the same obstacles in front of him. Harbaugh was hired away in January from nearby Stanford to replace the red Mike Singletary Mark Jackson and he has transformed the franchise in a matter of months. San Francisco can clinch its first playoff berth and division title since 2002 with a win Sunday against the Rams. Jackson is owner Joe Lacobs man to lead the Warriors into the future after the franchise has reached the playoffs in the Jim Harbaugh talented Western Conference just once since 1994 a run to the second round in 2007. Its no secret he didnt just talk about changing the culture but the culture has truly changed, Jackson said of Harbaugh. Its inspiring to watch their example, whether its

Peninsula Gymnastics full of state champions


By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Peninsula Gymnastics in San Mateo might as well be painted in gold. Fourteen different girls closed out the month of November and welcomed December as state champions following an impressive showing by Peninsula over a threeweekend stretch. The state championship is basically their Olympics, said Peninsula head coach Jessica Wickizer. I thought that the girls really put in their best routines of the entire season, which is what we aim for, to really peak right at the critical moments. We really supported each other and thats our team motto For My Team so when we go to a big competition like this, the philosophy is not for

the individual glory, its for the team spirit. I thought the girls really carried that into the state championships. As a group, Wickizer and her staff have a lot to be proud of. The list of girls who don the gold is long. The important thing about the state championship is that not every gymnast automatiJessica Wickizer cally qualifies, Wickizer said. So just the fact that we had 36 kids from our team qualify for the state championship was a huge honor for our program. We were really excited about that. Thirty-six different gymnasts competed in Levels 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9

for Peninsula. Gymnasts are placed in a level based on their skill-set and train year-round, some as much as 15 hours a week, to perfect their routines. Claire Schick is a Level 5 champion on bars. She also placed in Americas Top 100 Gymnasts this year. This is her second year as a state champion after being a Level 4 winner on beam, vault and AllAround in 2010. Clare Andriola is a Level 5 champion on floor. Ariana Young is Level 5 on bars along with Isabella Love. Nanami Yasuhana took home the Level 5 honors on vault to round out Peninsulas winners. Peninsulas Level 5 placed sixth as a team in the championships. In Level 4, Vanessa Pan (bars and beam), Sophia Gomez (bars, beam and All-Around), Tatum Constant (vault), Kanami Seo (vault and

beam), Lily Sun (floor), Melissa Varni (floor) and Molly Zwiebach (bars and floor) were all winners. Morgan Chall (Level 9 on vault) and Rosie Paltridge (Level 7 on floor) completes the list of 14 champions for Peninsula. I am so lucky. I have the most amazing staff of coaches ever, said Wickizer of Peninsulas complete effort. They are not only extremely knowledgeable, but theyre extremely caring. I think thats why our program is special; were not just about making champions, were about making strong, confident women for the future. As a bit of a reward for the efforts, the gymnasts will welcome Olympic champion Carly Patterson to their gym this Friday. Patterson won Olympic gold in 2000. She will be in town promoting the Olympic trials in San Jose which

take place in San Jose next year. While at Peninsula, Patterson will talk about her career, the Olympic trials and will sign autographs for the girls. Its just amazing to have an overall, gold medal Olympian in our gym, Wickizer said. And, its just an inspiration to the little girls because, so many of them wake up each and every day saying I want to be an Olympic champion. And to actually have one standing right in front of you, the reality of that is just amazing. Were going to have amazing practices next week just because of her presence and her motivation. You only get seven Olympians every four years. Theyre celebrities in our sport. These girls know her, they know her routines, they know her music, they idolize her.

49ers, Raiders getting their kicks this season


Akerspowerful right leg sparks San Francisco Oaklands dynamic duo helped team to first
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA David Akers gures he hardly deserves mention in the same breath as Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, someone the kicker grew up watching and admiring from afar in Kentucky. The only thing is, San Franciscos no-miss Akers is on pace to break Rices single-season 49ers franchise points record of 138 set in 1987. Theres no avoiding such talk as the season moves into December, with NFC West-leading San Francisco on the verge of clinching its rst playoff berth since 2002. Akers is considered among the 49ers most important offseason acquiDavid Akers sitions after they signed him to a three-year deal in late July right up there with the high-prole hiring of coach Jim Harbaugh himself. Yet nobody knew quite how much these two would mean in a major turnaround for an organization determined to return to the success of the glory days when Rice became arguably the best wide receiver in NFL history. If I end up breaking that, they need to put an asterisk on it, because you just dont beat a Jerry Rice, Akers said. As a receiver, what he did in that season, all the touchdowns and a 140-something points. Id like to get more points, but I just want to take my name off the record books if we get it, all right? My era watching football as a real little kid was watching the Redskins and Joe

Jacoby and those guys, Joe Theismann, and then there was Joe Montana and Young. Coming in here and meeting Tom Rathman was like, dude! And theres Dwight Clark. And Roger Craig and those guys. Thats who I watched as a kid. So, Jerry, watching him for all those years. And I got to play in a Pro Bowl against him. And, to me, its just not a fair statement to say you can put (me) in the same category. Akers kicked a 52-yard eld goal in San Franciscos 16-6 loss at Baltimore last Thursday night, making him 6 for 6 from 50plus yards this season. He is 28 for 33 overall on eld goals and has converted all 24 of his point after attempts, giving him 108 points with ve games to go. Harbaugh insists he would be perfectly comfortable and condent in letting the leftfooted Akers line up for a eld goal of 60-plus yards. Depending on the eld, depending on wind, hes hit a 59-yarder so far this year, Harbaugh said. Weve seen him do that in practice. Depending on wind conditions, somewhere 59, 60, 60-plus. In a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants on Nov. 13, Akers booted four eld goals and even set one up with a surprise onside kick. The teams oldest player he turns 37 on Dec. 9 sure is showing his former Philadelphia Eagles every Sunday just what they lost in letting him go. Akers most certainly is headed for his sixth Pro Bowl in 13 NFL seasons. Akers, oh my God, eld goals, I dont think he will miss, tight end Delanie Walker said. You give him a good time to kick it, hes going to make it. more up front to try and score. Thats the goal. Riordan was forced to press the rest of the way. They had their chances to score, especially with the Knights showing signs of fatigue in the second half. But the clearest chances at another goal came from Hillsdale with Golden just missing a volley and Calvin Araujo hooking up with Andreas Lau on a pretty through ball that Araujo just missed cashing home. As time wound down, Araujo had another opportunity, but his shot went just a smidge wide to the keepers far post. I wasnt very happy with our outside game, crossing the ball, we still have to work on that, Hodzic said. Everything else was working pretty good. But its not about trying to win, its about trying to nd our game.

could not handle it. The ball then fell right in front of Royce Wilmot, who proceeded to take the gift and deposit it into the back of net for the score. The goal was a welcomed sign for Hodzic after his Knights were shut out against the Cougars. Actually, I dont have anyone close to Guillermo Garcias level this year, Hodzic said of one of his biggest tasks in the new season. He scored 27 goals (last year). So Im trying to get our outside mideld to play a little

ALAMEDA On most NFL teams, kickers and punters are little more than part-time specialists who are rarely seen, almost never heard and mostly afterthoughts until they make some crucial mistake. Thats far from the case on the Oakland Raiders with punter Shane Lechler and kicker Sebastian Janikowski. Following Oaklands most recent win, coach Hue Jackson turned the locker room over to the teams veteran kicking specialists who are the only playing ties to the three straight division titles the franchise won from 2000-02. Lechler urged his teammates to keep grinding if they want to keep up the positive feelings from a 7-4 start that has them in rst place in the AFC West. It may be a little unusual, cornerback Stanford Routt said. But not here. Not with what they bring to the team and the things they do on Sundays. The two big-legged kickers have had few days better than the one they delivered last Sunday in a 25-20 victory over the Chicago Bears that kept the Raiders in rst place. Janikowski kicked a team-record six eld goals, while Lechler provided a jaw-dropping 80-yard punt and neutralized dangerous returner Devin Hester all day with his long and wellplaced punts. Theyre tremendous leaders for this football team, Jackson said. Were very fortunate here to have two of the best here, doing what they do. I would take our guys over anybody. Any day, any time anywhere. Theyre really that good. Thats what Al Davis envisioned when he used a rst-round pick to take Janikowski and a fth-rounder on Lechler in the 2000 draft in moves that were criticized at the time for reaching for part-time specialists. Those moves look a lot better now with more than a decade of hindsight as they both are still contributing at a Pro Bowl level while most players from that draft are out of the league. Those two guys are special, special teams standout Rock Cartwright said. Mr. Davis knew what he was doing when he took those guys. He knew what hed seen and they denitely were huge for us on Sunday. Lechler and Janikowski have seen things come full circle in Oakland since joining the

Raiders in 2000. They won three straight division titles and won an AFC championship to start their careers before falling on hard times. Oakland lost at least 11 games for an NFL-record seven straight seasons starting in 2003 before Sebastian ending that stretch with an Janikowski 8-8 record a year ago. Now with a one-game lead over Denver in the AFC West, the Raiders are poised to earn their rst playoff berth since 2002. This feels awesome, being 7-4, but guess what, a season goes 16 games and we cant even say were Shane Lechler .500 yet, Lechler said. Seven and four feels great, but weve got some tough, tough games. While the Raiders have been up and down, Lechler has been remarkably consistent throughout his career. He has averaged at least 45 yards per punt in all but one season and is on a record-setting pace this year at a gross average of 51.5 yards per punt, ahead of Sammy Baughs 51.4 in 1940. Lechler already has the single-season record for net average of 43.9 set in 2009 and is third all-time in net punting at 38.8 yards for his career just shy of Donnie Jones 39.0 average. He can ip the eld with one swing of his right leg as evidenced by last weeks game, when he had a 49.2 net average on ve kicks, including the 80-yarder that sailed over Hesters head and into the end zone. And his contributions dont end on the eld. Hes denitely the best punter in the league, but as far as a teammate, a leader, a veteran, a professional, he does everything right, quarterback Carson Palmer said. He says the right things. He doesnt act like a kicker. I wouldnt put him in that mold. He is just a great teammate. Janikowski has had a remarkable season in his own right despite dealing with an injured left hamstring that forced him to miss one game and limited his performance the past four games even though he still won AFC special teams player of the month.

back to work, he said. The lockout began July 1, which would have been the opening of free agency. It nally arrived in a minimized form Wednesday morning, when teams were allowed to talk to agents. Contracts cant yet be offered or signed not that anyone is ready to rush into it as they digest the new signing and spending rules that will become ofcial in the new deal. Chandler, the starting center for NBA champion Dallas, and Denvers Nene headed a solid core of free agent big men. Jamal Crawford, the former top sixth man from Atlanta, was available for teams seeking backcourt scoring punch, and teams seeking a reliable veteran swingman could sort through Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Caron Butler and Tayshaun Prince. But the class isnt spectacular, which is why the focus was already on next summer, when Howard, Paul and Deron Williams can become free agents. There were reports that Paul planned to leave New Orleans, and that the teams were angling to trade for him. Nets general manager Billy King denied an ESPN.com report that he was preparing to offer Brook Lopez and two rst-round picks to Orlando in hopes of getting Howard to play with Williams. school sports machine shuts down for the rest of the season.

Former sports agent Bob Myers was hired as the teams assistant GM and vice president of basketball operations to serve as Rileys right-hand man and contract expert. When Lacob and Guber bought the Warriors for a record $450 million in July 2010 from longtime owner Chris Cohan, they didnt hesitate to say they expect a perennial contender. Jackson understands thats part of the deal. He takes over for Keith Smart, who with a 3646 record produced 10 more wins last season than the previous year. Yet Lacob acknowledged he wanted his guy Jackson. No matter that he had no previous coaching experience. Jacksons playing resume spoke volumes. Jackson played 17 years as a point guard in the NBA, for New York, the Clippers, Indiana, Denver, Toronto, Utah and Houston. He won Rookie of the Year honors in 1988 and made the playoffs 14 times. He ranks third on the NBAs all-time assists list. He had been working as the lead analyst for ESPN and ABC for their NBA coverage. Jackson believes he can turn around the Warriors much like Harbaugh and Hue Jackson have done with their teams. son-opening measuring stick for both squads.

Trying to make the process smoother, the NBA agreed to allow players to re-enter the buildings Thursday.

Jackson sure hopes thats the case for him, too. Yet there is plenty of uncertainty ahead as a rookie NBA coach from his roster to how he will run a shortened training camp in December, when the season typically would already be a month old. Good thing the Warriors have built quite the experienced group to guide him in the process. Its been a hiring frenzy for Lacob, who along with Peter Guber in mid-November celebrated their one-year anniversary owning the franchise. They named Rick Welts as president and chief operating ofcer in late September. Hall of Famer Jerry West came aboard last spring to serve in an advisory role for the front ofce.

STANFORD Chester McGlockton, a four-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman who emerged as a talented assistant coach and mentor at Stanford, died Wednesday. He was 42. McGlockton also spent time helping the San Francisco 49ers and former Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh his former racquetball partner during training camp this summer as part of the Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship. Harbaugh expressed sadness and shock upon hearing of McGlocktons death. Stanford said the schools defensive assistant died overnight. Chesters been a very close and dear friend over the last four years, Harbaugh said Wednesday. It was a shock. Just sad, sad today with the news of his passing. The cause of death was not immediately announced. A native of Whiteville, N.C., McGlockton starred at Clemson before being selected 16th overall by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1992. He played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and New York Jets. He made all four of his Pro Bowl appearances while with the Raiders from 1994-1997. McGlocktons best season came in 1994, when he had a career-high 9 1/2 sacks with three forced fumbles and 48 tackles. The thoughts and prayers of the Raider Nation are with the McGlockton family during this difcult time, Raiders CEO Amy Trask said.

Terry Shannon, president of the Phoenixbased St. Marys Food Bank Alliance, one of the countrys largest food banks, said it increased the amount of food it distributes annually by about 75 percent over the past three years, to 74 million pounds. Its cash donations have kept pace with the need so far, but Shannon said he worries the alliance wont raise enough money during the holiday season to keep including peanut butter in each of the 25,000 emergency food boxes it distributes each month.

Cain plows ahead but says yet again: Reassessing


DAYTON, Ohio His campaigns survival in question, Herman Cain plowed ahead Wednesday in an effort to move past a womans allegation that they had a longtime affair. But he acknowledged the toll was rising and said he would decide by next week whether to drop out of the Republican race. Publicly, there were no Herman Cain signs that the former pizza company executive was calling it quits in his campaign for the presidential nomination. In fact, it was just the opposite: Aides were moving ahead with plans for events in New Hampshire, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia and prepared to launch a fresh round of TV ads in Iowa. And Cain himself, on a one-day bus tour of Ohio, insisted he was seeing a groundswell of positive support after the latest allegation threatening his campaign. Still, he acknowledged we are re-assessing and we are re-evaluating in light of the womans account, which followed accusations of sexual harassment by other women in recent weeks.

Preacher Billy Graham admitted to hospital


ASHEVILLE, N.C. The Rev. Billy Graham was admitted to a hospital Wednesday near his home in western North Carolina to be tested for pneumonia after suffering from congestion, a cough and a slight fever, his spokesman said. The 93-year-old evangelist was taken to Mission Billy Graham Hospital in Asheville, spokesman A. Larry Ross said. His personal physician, Dr. Lucian Rice, said he was in stable condition. A news release issued by the hospital said Graham was alert, smiling and waving to staff as he entered the hospital. Ross said Graham was admitted for observation and treatment and likely would spend the night there.

Peanut butter prices have gone up 30 percent or more because hot weather in states like Texas and Georgia hurt this years peanut crop and because some farmers switched to more

Britain ordering Irans diplomats to leave U.K.


By David Stringer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Britain ordered Iran on Wednesday to remove all its diplomats from the U.K. within 48 hours following attacks on its embassy and a residential compound in Tehran one of the most signicant diplomatic retaliations against Iran since the 1979 U.S. embassy crisis. Foreign Secretary William Hague told the House of Commons that Britain had also withdrawn its entire diplomatic staff from Iran after angry mobs hauled down Union Jack ags, torched a vehicle and tossed looted documents through windows. The rare move to kick out a countrys entire diplomatic corps marks a signicant souring of ties between Iran and the West, amid deep-

ening suspicions over Tehrans pursuit of nuclear weapons. Tensions were heightened in October when U.S. ofcials accused agents linked to Irans Quds Force an elite wing of the powerful Revolutionary Guard of a role in an alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. Germany, France and the Netherlands all recalled their ambassadors from Iran late Wednesday for consultations on further action in response. Norway closed its embassy in Tehran as a precaution. For many, the hours-long assault Tuesday on the British embassy in Tehran was reminiscent of the chaotic seizure of the U.S. embassy there in 1979. Protesters replaced the British ag with a banner in the name of a 7th-century Shiite saint, Imam Hussein, and one looter showed off a picture of Queen Elizabeth II apparently taken off a wall.

Beyond chickens: Urban farmers try goats


By Cedar Burnett
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Snowake the goat has cornered me, nuzzling my hand as she nibbles on my jackets zipper. Theyre very affectionate, says urban goat pioneer Jennie Grant, who owns the 99-pound, white miniature LaMancha. Distracted by Snowake, I hardly notice a smaller black goat closing in on me until she takes a bite out of my notebook. Behind the roughhewn milking platform, the view stretches out past pavement, streetlights and cars. This is the city, and these are city goats. Urban goat farming is part of a nationwide movement to eat food produced locally sometimes as locally as our backyards. Successful efforts to legalize chickens in cities such as Chicago and New York paved the way, with ducks and bees gaining ground in many places too. But goats? Its been two hooves forward, one hoof back as the idea has spread to more cities. For every pro-goat Portland, Ore., or Oakland, Calif., theres been a Kansas City, Mo., or Minneapolis shutting the barn door on backyard ruminants. Grant, a mother, student and writer in Seattle, didnt set out to be an urban goat farmer. I always thought it would be fun to have a mini cow when I was growing up, Grant says. Then I visited my cousin and his girlfriend in California, and my son and I got to milk her goat. I didnt want to taste it but when I did, I loved it. And I thought, heres my mini cow. Besides gathering up to a gallon a

day of fresh milk per goat, Grant uses their manure to fertilize her vegetable garden. Keeping goats in the backyard does, however, mean a fair amount of work and expense, warns Laura Covert of Charlottesville, Va., who has two dairy goats. While she loves their social nature and says goats are like dogs, but even better, Covert reminds prospective owners that goats need routine veterinary care, including booster shots, worming and hoof maintenance. Their hay can be costly in the winter, and isnt something you can just grab at the supermarket. And they need daily milking; vacations for the responsible goat owner are rare. Covert also makes the case for good fencing: She made the mistake of building her fence with the crossbars on the inside. The goats used it like a ladder and jumped right out. You cant leave hardware around or theyll eat it, she said. Theyre like toddlers they like to try everything. No stranger to urban farming, Grant already had chickens, bees and a large vegetable garden before she added goats to her lineup. After doing some research, she cleared a 20-by-20-foot patch of her yard, fenced it in, and added a shed, feed-

ing stations and the goat equivalent of a jungle gym. Then she drove to a farm in a suburb of Seattle and loaded the back of her station wagon with her two new charges. I had to get two, she explains, because theyre highly social animals. Most of her neighbors were delighted, she says, or at least amused, by the new kids on the block. But not everyone. The Seattle Department of Planning and Development paid Grant a visit and ordered her to get rid of her goats. A neighbor four blocks away had complained. Grant and some friends created the Goat Justice League and appealed to the Seattle City Council to help her keep her goats. After a year of gathering signatures, poring over old city livestock laws, researching whats involved in goat ownership, and even hustling a baby Nigerian goat into the courthouse, she won her ght. The right to own three small animals per household, including dogs, cats, rabbits and now miniature goats, was adopted by Seattle in 2007. The League was flooded with requests for help from around the country. Meghan Keith-Hynes, a real estate developer in Charlottesville, Va., was one of those who contacted Grant. Not a goat owner herself, Keith-Hynes took on the project because she felt it was a natural step forward for the city to take to promote sustainability. In late 2010, Keith-Hynes pushed through legislation based on Seattles law.

the docks were busy as hes been waiting a while for the shermen to settle the price dispute with processors. Three boats were selling crab directly to the public yesterday from their harbor slips including the Aini-K, Marauder and Allaine. Allaines Capt. Jim Anderson, a Redwood City resident, was selling crab for $4 a pound off his boat yesterday. People were lined up to buy the fresh Dungeness and Anderson gave some of his customers advice on how to cook them. Lots of sea salt and hot, hot oil, he told one buyer. Anderson not only captains the Allaine, he also built the boat, he said. He will be busy selling the rest of his haul today at Pillar Point Harbor. Although Anderson had a good rst haul, not everyone was pulling in big numbers, he said. A boat that averaged 25 crabs a pot last season only brought in about four a pot yesterday, he said. Commercial crab sherman set a record last year by taking in approximately 19 million pounds, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. Anderson hopes this years haul will match last years but is not so sure yet. The season in the waters far north of here off the California coast has been delayed by Fish and Game until Dec. 15, meaning the crab hauled at Pillar Point yesterday is the freshest in the state.

Covert took advantage of Charlottesvilles new law, bringing home her two 3-week-old dairy goats this March after attending a workshop for potential goat owners. Im head over heels for them, she says. Everyone loves them. Were the go-to spot for all the children in the neighborhood. Covert also keeps bees and egg-laying Indian runner ducks, and tends an extensive garden. I hardly ever have to buy groceries

anymore, she says. Donna Marykwas is working on a progoat campaign in Long Beach, Calif. The director of Long Beach Grows, a group dedicated to promoting urban agriculture, Marykwas says, My neighbors complained about my two Nigerian dwarf goats and we were ned. Now theyre in foster care backyard hopping until the laws are changed. Marykwas wants to lift a zoning rule limiting goat ownership to small portions of the city, and to only one animal. She would raise the limit to up to four goats per household anywhere in Long Beach. She also hopes to ease set-back restrictions for goats and chickens, among other issues.

Some people worry that goats are too noisy for a city neighborhood. I just want to make sure we maintain our quality of life, Long Beach City Councilman Patrick ODonnell said at a recent meeting. Marykwas has gathered 1,500 progoat petition signatures, and has the endorsements of the local chapters of the Sierra Club and Green Party. Its not going to be a nuisance and were not looking to turn the city into a farm, she says. Owning goats is a lot of responsibility and its expensive. But if people want to get back to the basics and know where their food comes from, this is a great option.

Wild creatures of the great indoors


By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

One of the benets of a well-planted garden is that it attracts wildlife. Fill your yard with a variety of plants that offer food and cover, and you will encourage many types of animals to visit. Usually, thats a good thing, but sometimes its a mixed blessing. Living in a rural area, we get the usual fauna. Lately, though, weve been seeing ocks of turkeys unheard of only a few years ago along roadsides and in backyards near our home. The rst time I saw some in my yard, I was dumbfounded. Both my dogs, which are avid squirrel and rabbit chasers, were equally perplexed. At their rst encounter with the large birds, the dogs stood motionless, unsure weather to run at them or away from them! Many new visitors are distinctly less welcome, such as skunks. Fortunately, they drop by more often in the evening when we are inside. When we do see one, shouts of SKUNK! Keep the dogs inside! ring through our house. For the past 10 years or so, stealthy coyotes have also taken up residence near us. Coinciding with their arrival, the feral cat population has gone into steep decline not altogether a bad thing, I suppose, especially for the songbird population. On the other hand, for pet cats and their owners, these uninvited carpetbaggers are not a welcome sight. Last winter, reports circulated of black bears roaming through nearby neighborhoods. This was the rst time bears have been spot-

ted in our part of Rhode Island in close to 100 years. Perhaps they got word about our steadily declining house prices. For the most part, cohabitating with all this wildlife is fairly benign that is, assuming the encounters are from a distance, or at least through a pane of glass. Last week, I was awakened at 5 a.m. by the sound of my dogs barking and whining. Their beds are downstairs in the kitchen, and most days they dont stir until after everyone in the house is up. From their persistence, I assumed they urgently needed to go outside to relieve themselves. Experience has taught me not to ignore those requests. I went downstairs and opened the door to the backyard. To my surprise, neither dog rushed out. Instead, they both stood staring intently into the living room rug through the gate that separates it from the kitchen. Thats when I glimpsed something dash across the living room oor. I scanned the room but couldnt see anything. After several minutes, I let the dogs into the room. They ran back and forth, snifng every inch of space. They, too, found nothing. I went back to bed. When everyone else in the house got up, I

Its fun to attract wildlife to your garden,but sharing the space can be a delicate matter.
recounted the story. Horrified, my wife declared that we needed to sell the house and nd somewhere new to live. Perhaps in a high-rise, she suggested. My 14-year-old daughter, more pragmatic, wanted details. How big was it? What color was it? Without any details to share, I said it was probably just a mouse. We went on with our day, and at 8 oclock that evening, my daughter came to me and said, Dad, there is an animal sitting on top of the drapes in the living room, and it is MUCH bigger than a mouse. Overhearing this, my wife violated the rst rule of dealing with wildlife in the home, which is: remain calm. It turns out that the animal in question was a ying squirrel. I am still not sure how it got in. While my wife panicked, I cooly fetched a shing net and got the intruder out of the house with no harm to it or me. When we invite critters into our gardens, sometimes its hard to deny them our living rooms, too.

structure that works without it, Rive said in a statement. The fact that SolarStrong can move forward without a federal loan guarantee is a clear indication that long-term incentives such as the investment tax credit are working. The company said the significant drop in the price of solar panels over the past year because of less expensive panels being manufactured in China also made financing the project easier. The new project is scaled down from its previous incarnation. SolarCity previously said it would put panels on 160,000 homes in 33 states. The smaller project reflects one effect of losing the loan guarantee: Banks and private investors are willing to pony up more cash if their investment is insured by taxpayer dollars. Still, Jonathan Plowe, head of new energy and infrastructure solutions at BofA Merrill Lynch, said the bank believes the residential solar market in the U.S. is a strong investment with or without the loan guarantee. He said the SolarStrong deal is part of a $20 billion effort by the bank to invest in renewable energy, conservation and other areas related to the environment. We saw huge growth potential in this area. Any building you see that has no solar is a good platform for solar, Plowe told the Associated Press. And the U.S. Department of Defense is a huge new customer. The Defense As a result, hundreds of businesses, from medical ofces to high-tech companies, will now have access to Comcasts business-class offerings, which will be delivered over a state-ofthe-art optical ber backbone. The expansion aims to allow for download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second and upload speeds of up to 10 megabits per second. Bandwidth up to 10 gigabits per second will be available for businesses with the largest data needs. Attorney Paul Barulich, with an ofce downtown, said the growth of his practice has been limited, in part, by a lack of good telecommunications infrastructure. The underground ber optics network Comcast will install will make it easier for Barulichs ofce to serve its clients and grow, he said. The chamber worked closely with the Downtown San Mateo Association initially to engage property owners on the proposal, Geiger said. DSMA is thrilled that high-speed broadband is finally coming, said Department is the largest single consumer of electricity in the nation, so this project will help achieve its goals of deriving 25 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2025. SolarCity, the leading installer and operator of panels on U.S. residences, will own and operate the panels, working with the private companies that manage military housing on each base to install them. It has already started installing panels on homes at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, Rive said. Rive said the company will also launch a grassroots effort at each base to hire veterans and military family members to install the panels. The deal was applauded by the solar industry as an indication that large banks are confident in the future of solar technology, even without federal loan guarantees. I think it really shows the acceptance and understanding of solar technology to the big banks, and that really didnt exist six months ago, said Rhone Resch, president of Solar Energy Industries Association, the Washington-based lobbying group for the solar industry. I think banks like BofA and others are now comfortable with the performance and the business model and the returns they are seeing with these solar projects. President Kris Cesena. We have played a small role in part by having representation in the EDGEs meetings regarding this endeavor. Its becoming apparent that high-tech companies like the idea of locating in San Mateo and especially downtown because of our location on the Peninsula. High-speed broadband is a prerequisite to establishing and growing new business downtown, said Linda Asbury, president of the chamber. Work should start on the project in January, Geiger said, and should be completed by spring. Comcast will essentially equip each property downtown with ber-optics that can then be accessed by businesses, he said. It is a forward-looking concept, Geiger said, in which other cities have already taken an interest. This could become a model for other cities to follow, he said.

power. In late September, SolarCity said the military projects loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy was scuttled due to new, more rigid requirements spurred by the collapse of Fremont-based Solyndra Inc., which filed for bankruptcy despite a $528 million DOE loan. Just weeks before, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu had hailed SolarStrong as the largest domestic residential rooftop solar project in history while announcing DOEs intent to provide a partial guarantee for the companys $344 million loan.

The EDGE and Comcast have worked with downtown businesses, property owners and city ofcials to ensure that the project will deliver the maximum benet to downtown while minimizing any impacts to the underground utility district.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Youre starting a

new cycle, which will continue for some time and could be remarkably profitable if you play your cards right. Its a spotty trend, so be able to recognize your good days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- This is likely to be a favorable day for you where new adventures or enterprises are concerned. Itll be especially so for anything that youll have a hand in bringing about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Something that was financially fortunate for you previously could be so again. Whatever you do, dont change anything that

worked well the first time. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A couple of friends could play more prominent roles in your affairs than they have done in the past. Its one of those times when each party could be lucky for the other. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- One of your greatest assets is your ability to derive benefits or advantages from shifting circumstances. Be as supple as a reed in the wind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If at all possible, devote some time to an exciting, fresh interest that has captured your fancy. This new pastime could have greater ramifications for your life than you think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Couple your will to win with your imagination, and visualize the type of results you hope to achieve, along with some changes you would like to make. Theyre all doable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your ability to absorb and catalog all types of new information is better than usual at this time. Strive to utilize this wonderful gift to your best advantage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Chances are youll be luckier than usual, but not necessarily in ways of your choosing. Even though benefits will be influenced by what you cant control, youll like what occurs. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Team up with others,

because fortuitous developments can be generated through partnerships, especially those springing from a social involvement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An adverse situation that youve been working hard at changing for the better is likely to take that turn at last. Instead of producing negatives, it could bring you something very nice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A friend of yours is likely to be the purveyor of some good news, but neither you nor your pal will be aware of this until you talk. It could be a big surprise to both of you when you do. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

CITY OF MILLBRAE Community Development Department Planning Division 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae CA 94030 Phone 650-259-2341 Fax 650-697-8158 www.ci.millbrae.ca.us Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration A notice, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (Public Resources Code 21,000, et sec.) that the following project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Project Name Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance Applicant City of Millbrae Project Location Entire city limits of the City of Millbrae Project Description The proposed ordinance will prohibit the distribution of single-use plastic and paper carryout bags from retail establishments in the City of Millbrae for point of sale purchases. A Negative Declaration for the proposed Ordinance was previously published in August, 2011 that included supermarkets and grocery stores. The Negative Declaration has been revised to include all retail establishments that distribute single-use carryout bags. The ordinance will allow affected retail establishments to distribute either a recycled content paper bag or a reusable bag, as defined, for a store charge. Under the ordinance, recycled content paper bags may be sold to customers for a minimum fee of $0.10 and are defined as not being made from old growth fiber, are made from a minimum of 40% post consumer recycled content, and are 100% recyclable. Pursuant to the ordinance, reusable bags may be given away for free only during time-limited promotional events. The proposed ordinance will not affect food vendors, including restaurants and take-out food establishments, dry-cleaners, and non-profit charitable organizations. The ordinance will not apply to protective bags such as meat/produce bags, newspaper bags, pharmaceutical bags, flat greeting card bags, dry cleaning bags, bakery item bags, and bags that hold live plants or small hardware items. Purpose of Notice The purpose of this notice is to inform you that City Staff has recommended that a Negative Declaration be approved for this project. Based upon substantial evidence in the record, staff finds that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment. A public hearing for the proposed project is tentatively scheduled for the City Council on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, in the City Council Chambers, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, CA 94030. It should be noted that the adoption of a Negative Declaration does not constitute approval of the project under consideration. The decision to approve or deny the project will be made separately. Public Review Period: Begins: December 15, 2011 Ends: January 3, 2012 Public Comments regarding the correctness, completeness, or adequacy of this Negative Declaration are invited and must be received on or before the end of the review period listed above. Such comments should be based on specific environmental concerns. Written comments should be addressed to the attention of David Petrovich, City Planner, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, CA 94030. For additional information regarding this Negative Declaration, please contact Shelly Reider at (650) 259-2444. The Detailed Negative Declaration and Initial Study may be viewed at the following locations: (1) City of Millbrae, City Clerks Office, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, CA 94030 (2) City Website: www.ci.millbrae.ca.us/sustainablemillbrae Prepared and Approved by: David Petrovich, City Planner, AICP November 28, 2011 Published in the San Mateo Daily Journal, December 1, 2011.
