Council approves development near downtown

San Mateo condo project previously denied by Planning Commission
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In a rare move, the San Mateo City

Council reversed a decision of its
Planning Commission and unanimously voted to approve a housing
redevelopment in an area known as the
gateway to downtown.
The proposal to construct 15 condominiums two of which will be
offered as affordable can now pro-

ceed with the councils action Monday

night.
Redevelopment at 210 S. Fremont
St. near the busy intersection to
Highway 101 highlighted potential
conflicts in neighborhoods that blend
single-family homes with larger multifamily complexes.
In August, the citys five-member
Planning Commission denied the proposed four-story housing project citing architectural aesthetics and after

hearing from residents with concerns

about traffic and parking. Ultimately,
the council and city staff noted the
developer was abiding by existing
zoning codes that allow for higherdensity housing projects in the area.
Deputy Mayor David Lim said while
the denser project may stand out compared to adjacent single-family homes,

Tree decorating is coming a little

early this year for Belmont resident
Catherine Bianco.
Today, Bianco will focus entirely on
a specific type of Christmas decor
decorating herself in three green hoop
skirts swathed in silver garland, silver
sequin pants, a Santa hat and laced-up
white Capezio dance shoes with taps
carefully secured to the soles.
Bianco will join 53 other dancers
dressed identically as Christmas trees
in the legendary Macys Thanksgiving
Day Parade on the bustling streets of
New York City.
But its a family tree in addition to a

dancing tree troupe that Bianco will

dance with in New York. Her two sisters, Andrea Vasquez of San Diego and
Roberta Madej of San Leandro and
their daughters Andrea Vasquez and
Annie Madej, respectively, will also
don the flashy, three-hooped tree costume and tap the 3-mile course through
the lively streets of New York.

Landfill weigh station operator gets 90 days

By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

One of four defendants in a fraud case at

the Ox Mountain Landfill just east of Half
Moon Bay was sentenced to 90 days in jail
on Tuesday, according to San Mateo County
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Jose Oliver Lopez, 33, of Tracy was also
sentenced by Judge Elizabeth Lee to three
years of supervised release and ordered to
pay $30,842 in restitution.
Three other defendants in the case had
their sentencing delayed until next month.

Their defense attorneys said in court that

they had already paid restitution, so prosecutors are working to verify that, Wagstaffe
said.
The four pleaded no contest to one count
of grand theft each for defrauding nearly
$1.4 million between January 2010 and
August 2013 through their jobs at the Ox
Mountain Landfill.
They all worked as weigh house operators monitoring customer transactions
going in and out of the landfill. They misclassified construction waste as green
waste, which is cheaper to dispose of
because of its minimal environmental

impact, according to prosecutors.

They also recorded incomplete or partial
truck weights to certain customers. When
the Ox Mountain management discovered
the thefts, they confronted the employees,
who admitted the crimes, prosecutors said.
Sentencing is scheduled on Dec. 14 for
27-year-old Isaac Molina Lopez, 46-yearold Rui Navalhas and 46-year-old Orlando
Pires. If they made full restitution, their
charge could be reduced to a misdemeanor.
According to their plea agreements, each
defendant will receive a sentence of no more
than 90 days in jail.

Govt wants phone makers to lock apps for drivers

By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The government wants

smartphone makers to lock out most apps
when the phone is being used by someone
driving a car.
The voluntary guidelines unveiled
Wednesday are designed to reduce crashes
caused by drivers distracted by phones. The
National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration also wants automakers to
make infotainment systems easy to pair
with smartphones.
Drivers could still make calls but the
phones and automaker systems would lock
out the ability to enter text. Internet
browsing, video not related to driving,
text from books, and photos also would be
locked out. Navigation systems would be
permitted, but with guidelines on how to
avoid driver distraction.
Fatal crashes caused by distracted drivers

With driver distraction one of the

factors behind the rise of traffic fatalities, we are committed
to working with the industry to ensure that mobile devices are
designed to keep drivers eyes where they belong on the road.
NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind

are on the rise, and thats contributing to a

spike in traffic deaths during the past two
years. The government says 3, 477, or
about 10 percent, of the more than 35,000
traffic fatalities last year involved distracted drivers. Thats up 8. 8 percent over
2014. Traffic deaths spiked 10.4 percent in
the first six months of this year and rose
7. 2 percent last year, after years of
declines.
With driver distraction one of the factors behind the rise of traffic fatalities, we

are committed to working with the industry

to ensure that mobile devices are designed
to keep drivers eyes where they belong
on the road, NHTSA Administrator Mark
Rosekind said in a statement.
Automakers already are moving this
direction, with many offering Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto that pair smartphones to car touch screens and allow limited use of the phone apps. NHTSA wants
phone makers to develop technology that
can determine if someone is driving a car

and then disable most of the apps. But at

present, that technology doesnt exist. In
its absence, the agency wants phones to
have a driver mode that would be activated by the smartphone user.
General Motors, for instance, has the
Apple and Android pairing system in about
40 models worldwide. Already, it prevents
use of many phone functions that could
cause distraction, spokesman Vijay Iyer
said.
The system, he said, wont let drivers
type a text message, but it does allow text
by voice. The fundamental direction is to
keep your hands on the wheel, eyes on the
road and minimize distraction and offer up
other means of interaction, primarily
voice, he said.
NHTSA will take public comment for 60
days before deciding whether to put the
guidelines in place. Unlike a federal government rule, auto and cellphone makers
dont have to obey the guidelines.

Police arrest suspect for
food-tampering incidents in Tahoe

Sears Store at Tanforan Mall 1178 El Camino Real, San Bruno

RENO, Nev. Police have arrested a 43-year-old man

believed to have doused two self-serve food bars with chemicals that caused multiple cases of apparent food poisoning
at a South Lake Tahoe shopping mall.
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department said in a statement that Harry Dally was arrested Tuesday after California
officers searched his home.
Police said they believe Dally was involved in a series of
incidents in which someone intentionally contaminated
food at a supermarket restaurant and a Baha Fresh Mexican
Grill, striking at least five times over two weeks.
The restaurants reported someone came in and poured an
unknown substance over food items and left. The substance
had a chemical odor, though officers have not yet said what
they believe the substance may be.
A 12-year-old who ate tainted salsa at the Baha Fresh
Mexican Grill was hospitalized over the weekend and later
released.
Dally was arrested after police say they identified him on
surveillance footage. He was being held in the El Dorado
County Jail on suspicion of intentionally releasing a contaminating substance.

Californias largest public

employee union sets strike date
SACRAMENTO Californias largest public employee
union says it has given notice to strike on December 5 in
response to stalled contract talks with the state.
The Service Employees International Union Local 1000
says its action comes because of the states failure to move
on its opening proposal on salary and benefits after more
than seven months.
The union representing about 95, 000 employees
announced last week that 92 percent of members voted to
strike.
The state has offered a nearly 12 percent salary increase
over four years, but SEIU officials say the 3 percent annual
raises would be offset by a 3.5 percent employee contribution to retirees health care.
The union contends the state can afford more and has
failed to address the gender wage gap. Two-thirds of its
members are women.

Man, 85-year-old woman,

survive murder-suicide attempt
ALAMEDA Northern California authorities say an 85year-old man shot a woman in a nursing home in an attempt

himself, but both are expected to survive.
Alameda Police Lt. Wayland Gee said both the man and the
woman had regained consciousness at an Oakland hospital
Wednesday.
Gee said the two people are related, but declined to provide details.
The shooting occurred Tuesday at a nursing center where
the woman is a patient. Police say the man was visiting the
center when police received multiple calls that someone
was shooting inside.

Barack Obama reacts after pardoning the National Thanksgiving turkey during the 69th annual presentation of the turkey
in the Rose Garden of the White House.

President Obama makes final

Thanksgiving turkey pardon
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama got the holiday mood started at
the White House on Wednesday with
the traditional pardoning of the
national Thanksgiving turkey, this
time with his nephews standing in for
daughters Malia and Sasha.
The light-hearted ceremony in the
Rose Garden also featured Iowa-raised
turkeys Tater and Tot, with the latter
receiving the formal reprieve.
Obama said he has used the past
seven pardon ceremonies to embarrass
his daughters with what he called a
corny-copia of dad jokes about

turkeys. This year, they had a scheduling conflict. Actually, they just couldnt take my jokes anymore, the president said.
His nephews, Austin and Aaron
Robinson, filled in admirably. Obama
joked they had not yet been turned cynical by Washington. They still
believe in bad puns. They still believe
in the grandeur of this occasion,
Obama said. They still have hope.
The White House asked people on
Twitter to vote for which turkey will
receive the pardon, though both will
get a reprieve. The White House even
provided a biography for each bird to
help voters with their decision. For
example, Taters favorite snack is
worms. Tot prefers tomato slices. Each

18-week-old bird weighed in at about

40 pounds.
While only one could be named the
National Thanksgiving Turkey, the
White House said that both birds will
be sent to their new home at Virginia
Techs Gobblers Rest where they
will be cared for by veterinarians and
students.
The ceremony also gave Obama a
chance to reflect on the spirit of
Thanksgiving. Obama said its a time
to remember that we have a lot more
in common than divides us. He also
challenged Americans to show the
world that the United States is a generous and giving country, and to make
sure everyone has something to eat on
Thanksgiving.

on their way home from Woodmore
Elementary School.
Police said he was driving well over the posted 30 mph
limit when he lost control of the bus and slammed into a
tree. Six children remain in the hospital.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman
Christopher A. Hart says its unclear why driver Walker left
the designated route and drove the bus down Talley Road.
One of the things were exploring is A, has he done it
before, and B, if so, why? Hart said.
He said Walker, who has no criminal record in the state,
had taken on a second job at an Amazon Fulfillment Center,
and part of the agencys investigation will look at whether
fatigue played a role in the wreck.
The NTSB will also bring in a specialist to analyze video
and audio recordings from the buss interior cameras that
were damaged in Mondays wreck.
Police disputed one womans claim that the driver asked
the children if they were prepared to die just before the
wreck. Jasmine Mateen, whose 6-year-old daughter was
among the dead, said one of her two surviving children who
were on the bus told her about the drivers remarks.
Garrett, however, said at a Wednesday press conference: I
want to be very clear on this. No witness we have spoken
with has that information or provided it directly to our
investigators.
He added that investigators have not yet interviewed the
children on the bus and asked anyone with additional information to bring it to police.
Three of the children killed were in fourth grade, one in
first grade and another in kindergarten, said Kirk Kelly,
interim superintendent of Hamilton County schools. A
makeshift memorial to them grew up around a telephone
pole, with stuffed bears, flowers and dozens of balloons.
Their families remembered them as fun, happy children
taken much too soon.

TRUMP
Continued from page 1
Gov. Haley has little foreign policy
experience, yet Trump praised her as a
proven dealmaker. DeVos, like Trump, is
new to government but has spent decades
working to change Americas system of
public education.
DeVos and Haley are the first women
selected for top-level administration posts
as the president-elect works to shape a
White House team from scratch. Haley is
the daughter of Indian immigrants, so she
also would be his first minority selection
after a string of announcements of white
men.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said
an announcement is forthcoming on his
role, which would make him the first black
choice possibly as secretary of Housing
and Urban Development but he also suggested hed be thinking about it over the
Thanksgiving holiday.
I feel that I can make a significant contribution particularly to making our inner
cities great for everyone, Carson wrote on
his Facebook page.
Trump is also expected to select billionaire investor Wilbur Ross Jr. to lead the
Commerce Department, a senior Trump
adviser said Wednesday, speaking only on
condition of anonymity because the adviser was not authorized to disclose internal

Two years ago, Bhugat was accepted to the
University of California at Los Angeles, the

is white, is chairman and chief strategy
officer of private-equity firm W.L. Ross &
Co., which has specialized in buying failing companies.
Wednesdays picks came as Trump
worked to distance himself from the altright, a movement of white supremacists
who continue to cheer his election.
He announced his two new choices in a
statement released as he gathered with family behind closed doors at his Palm Beach
estate for Thanksgiving. Hes spending
the holiday there after a week of interviews
of potential appointees in New York, punctuated by announcements of members of
his national security team.
In a Thanksgiving message posted on
social media, Trump acknowledged that the
nation just finished a long and bruising
political campaign.
Emotions are raw and tensions just
dont heal overnight, he added. Its my
prayer that on this Thanksgiving we begin
to heal our divisions and move forward as
one country strengthened by shared purpose and very, very common resolve.
Bad blood between Trump and his new
Cabinet selections had been evident
through much of this years campaign.
The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley! Trump wrote in
March. Haley denounced several of his
campaign comments and urged voters to
reject the siren call of the angriest voices.
DeVos, from Michigan, told the

Associated Press in July, A lot of the

things he has said are very off-putting and
concerning.
On Wednesday, Trump said of his UN
selection: Gov. Haley has a proven track
record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to
move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country.
She said she loved her South Carolina
post but when the president believes you
have a major contribution to make to the
welfare of our nation, and to our nations
standing in the world, that is a calling that
is important to heed.
While Republicans praised Haleys
selection, DeVos faced criticism from left
and right.
The president of the National Education
Association, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, said in
a statement that for years DeVos has lobbied for failed schemes, like vouchers
which take away funding and local control
from our public schools to fund private
schools at taxpayers expense.
And Randi Weingarten, president of the
American Federation of Teachers, tweeted,
Trump has chosen the most ideological,
anti-public ed nominee since the creation
of the Dept of Education.
At the same time, some conservatives
warned that the longtime Republican
donor, who has spent millions of dollars
along with her husband to promote
candidates who favor charter schools and
school vouchers, also supports the
Common Core education standards that

Trump railed against during the campaign.

Conservatives already were grappling
with Trumps Tuesday concession that climate change may be connected to human
activity and his reversal of a campaign
vow to pursue a criminal investigation
into Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
DeVos addressed criticism head-on, posting a Q&A statement that said directly
about Common Core: I am not a supporter
period.
I do support high standards, she said.
But along the way Common Core got
turned into a federal boondoggle.
Just two weeks ago, Trump shocked the
political world including many in his
own party by winning the presidential
contest. The billionaire New Yorker has
yet to take any formal steps to separate
from his international business empire as
experts in both parties warn of potential
conflicts of interest.
Trump will be sworn into office in less
than 60 days. Beyond his Cabinet, he must
fill hundreds of high-level administration
posts.
Spokesman Jason Miller said Trump now
is focusing on his choice for secretary of
state in particular. Among those under consideration: former New York Mayor and
Trump loyalist Rudy Giuliani and 2012
GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney,
formerly an outspoken Trump critic.
After secretary of state, the UN ambassador is the highest-profile diplomatic position, often serving as the voice for U.S.
positions on the international stage.

ment to give back.

Having lived and traveled to many
places, I truly believe America is the greatest country, Bhugat said.
Bhugats father, Rohit Bhugat, immigrated from India to attend graduate school,
landed a career in finance which shuffled the
family around from Chicago where
Bhugat was born to San Francisco, Hong
Kong and back to India before they planted
roots in Hillsborough.
This country has been very good to us,
said Rohit Bhugat.
At first, Rohit Bhugat and his wife
Shalini were anxious about Varuns choice
but he said, we are incredibly proud that he
is choosing to serve as a way to give back.
The Annapolis Naval Academy offered the
best option to prepare himself academically, physically and mentally for a life of
service, Varun Bhugat said.
His daily curriculum begins at 5:30 a.m.
when his company a unit made up of 40
students from his class get up to exercise
before standing in a line formation at 7:30
a.m. After breakfast, its a standard academic day like most colleges but, there are no
hangovers and no no-shows here, atten-

dance is always taken, said Varun Bhugat.

In the afternoon, students on competitive
sports teams practice or work out again
before dinner at 8 p.m., followed by a
debriefing a presentation of relevant
issues or information about the school. At
night, a study period lasts until midnight,
then its off to bed until the cycle repeats
the next day.
Varun Bhugat, who grew up in an upper
middle-class suburb and attended private
school, said the transition was initially
jolting. Incoming first-year students are
not allowed access to music, TV or any
media; they are forced to do menial chores
and must greet everyone with sir or maam.
For me, what I struggled with was being
treated with disrespect, talked down to by
other people. Having to do tasks no one
wants to do, taking the trash out and stuff
like that, said Varun Bhugat.
Now a sophomore, Varun Bhugat said his
abilities had grown exponentially. If I went
to school anywhere else, I might have wasted my time and youth partying, not living
up to my fullest potential, he said.
At the Naval Academy, I get to experience things that civilians dont normally

encounter, he said.
Theres no fee for tuition, room and board
and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis
ranks 12th in the 2017 edition of U.S News
and World Reports National Best Liberal
Arts Colleges.
The application process is rigorous, and a
congressional member must nominate the
candidates. U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, appointed Bhugat. While academic
and service achievements are noted, candidates must also pass a mental and physical
exam to be accepted.
During Thanksgiving week, Varun Bhugat
is home on the Peninsula and will present
the Naval Academy and talk about his experiences at engagements throughout various
high schools in San Mateo County.
Splitting his time between family, friends
and obligations during the nine-day break,
Varun Bhugat said the two things he must
have is his moms home cooking, and
Chipotle.
Returning to regimen after the break will
be tough but life is about the choices you
make if you have a desire to serve your country, he said. We have this saying, its not
a great place to be but a great place to be
from.

Trump Justice Dept.

could stiffen drug
prosecution policies
By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON An Obama administration Justice

Department that emphasized the need to be smart on
crime is being replaced with a Trump
presidency that campaigned on being
tough on crime.
The difference between those two
philosophies remains to be seen, but one
area where the divide is likely to be felt
most acutely is in the thousands of drug
cases the Justice Department prosecutes
annually.
If confirmed as attorney general, Sen.
Jeff Sessions
Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican
and former prosecutor, would inherit a Justice Department
thats pursued dramatic changes in the treatment of nonviolent drug criminals. Department leaders, most prominently
former Attorney General Eric Holder, have directed prosecutors to limit their use of mandatory minimum punishments,
sought to roll back a sentencing structure they see as overly harsh and encouraged the early release of hundreds of
inmates.
Sessions is expected to bring a different perspective,
given President-elect Donald Trumps dire campaign warnings about crime in America and his posturing as a law-andorder candidate. Since Sessions opposed legislation this
year to revamp the criminal justice system, his selection as
attorney general also represents a probable setback for
broader overhaul efforts that have stalled in Congress even
with the support of the Justice Department.
I think it slows down reform efforts a little bit nationally, said Inimai Chettiar, justice program director at the
Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School
of Law. Even though the president doesnt necessarily
have the power to change all of the state and local laws,
having a national champion was really important.
Sessions adamantly opposed very moderate efforts to
reform sentencing laws, Chettiar added. Hes definitely
not a mainstream conservative when it comes to the criminal justice system.
The Justice Departments drug policy is important given
the sheer volume of defendants moved through the federal
system. Nearly half the Bureau of Prisons population is in
custody for drug offenses, which in fiscal year 2015 was the
most common type of federal crime, with 22,631 cases,
according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Theres been bipartisan support in recent years for proposals aimed at cutting the prison population, but little
agreement on how to do it.
The Obama administration, which two years ago unveiled
a new clemency initiative, has commuted the sentences of
1,023 federal prisoners, including 79 on Tuesday a total
the White House says is more than the last 11 presidents
combined.

Association conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Trumps U.N. pick has a national

reputation as the healer-in-chief
By Seanna Adcox
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. Gov. Nikki

Haley has developed a national reputation as a racial conciliator who led the
charge to bring down the Confederate
flag at the Statehouse and guided South
Carolina through one of its darkest
moments, the massacre at a black
church.
Now the 44-year-old American-born
daughter of Indian immigrants is about
to take her role as the states healer-inchief to a world stage, as U.N. ambassador.
On Wednesday, Haley became the
first woman and first minority chosen
by President-elect Donald Trump for
his Cabinet.
If the Senate confirms her, she could
find herself in the awkward position of
being the international voice for an

administration that has belittled the

United Nations, promised to build a
wall along the Mexican border and
endeared itself to the alt-right movement, even though Trump has repudiated such groups.
Haley may have offered a glimpse
Tuesday of how she will approach the
job.
Faith with action and kindness and
love will always take us where we want
to go, the Republican governor said
at Emanuel AME Church in
Charleston, where a white man gunned
down nine black parishioners in June
2015.
Haley drew wide praise for her leadership after the attack, as she conveyed
the states grief and successfully led
calls to bring down the Confederate
flag that had flown on the Statehouse
grounds for 54 years. The shootings
were motivated by pure hate, she

way I live my life.
On Tuesday, churches across the
state honored Haleys request for
prayer vigils amid the nearly simultaneous murder trials of the defendant in
the church massacre and a white former
police officer accused of fatally shooting a black motorist in the back.
Her handling of the racially charged
events bolstered her national image,
said longtime GOP operative Richard
Quinn.
It became a national example of
how you can deal with racial issues
peacefully, he said.

over the past two years include historic flooding in 2015, an elementary

Hurricane Matthew last month and

Wayne State University
officer dies from gunshot wound
DETROIT A police officer has died a day after he was
shot in the head while on patrol near a university campus
in Detroit.
Wayne State University Officer Collin Rose, 29, died
about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday at a hospital, Detroit police
Sgt. Michael Woody said.
Roses death had been reported earlier in a news release
from school President M. Roy Wilson.
This is a tragedy felt by all of us, Wilson said. Collin
served Wayne State with distinction, and we owe those he
left behind our deepest sympathies and our strong support.
Rose also is the only Wayne State officer ever to fall in
the line of duty, Wilson said.
The five-year veteran of the universitys police force had
gone through surgery earlier Wednesday, but his condition
was described by the departments chief as very grave.
Police said a suspect in the shooting was arrested late
Tuesday night a few blocks from where Rose was shot, but
no charges have been filed.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig had said Rose was on
duty around 6:30 p.m. when he radioed to say he was investigating possible thefts of navigation systems from vehicles and that he was about to speak to someone on a bike.
Officers who arrived on the scene found Rose injured on
the ground, Craig said.

Russia joins U.S. in seeking

return of alleged LinkedIn hacker
PRAGUE The Czech Justice Ministry says Russia has
joined the United States in seeking the extradition of a
Russian man who faces charges in the United States of
hacking and stealing information from computers at
LinkedIn, Dropbox and other San Francisco Bay Area companies.
The Justice Ministry said Wednesday that Russia wants
Yevgeniy Nikulin of Moscow extradited due to a 2009
Internet theft. Russian officials previously had said they
were working to prevent his extradition to the U.S.
Nikulin was arrested in Prague on Oct. 5 after Interpol
issued an international warrant. Czech officers cooperated
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the case.
The ministry says the 29-year-old will remain jailed until
his extradition hearing at a Prague court. No date has been
set for the hearing.

Trump win could give Israel

freer hand with Palestinians
By Vivian Salama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Donald Trumps

presidential victory has dimmed hopes
for reviving the Israeli-Palestinian
peace process, and analysts say Israel
may be given carte blanche from his
administration.
American presidents have long
struck a delicate balance in the conflict, stressing the close U.S. friendship with Israel and lavishing the
Jewish state with aid. But recent presidents also have tried to negotiate, and
they have called out Israel for actions
seen as undermining peace efforts,
such as expanding settlements in the
occupied West Bank.
Trumps role cant be easily predicted.
A foreign policy novice, the billionaire businessman takes pride in his
deal-making skills and says hed love
the challenge of negotiating a Mideast
agreement. He told The New York
Times on Tuesday that it would be
such a great achievement. He said his

son-in-law, Jared Kushner, an observant Jew and a close adviser, may help
make that happen.
Last December, Trump told the
Associated Press that he wanted to be
very neutral and try to get both sides

together. But his tone became decidedly more pro-Israel as the campaign
progressed. He has spoken disparagingly of Palestinians, saying they
have been taken over by or are condoning militant groups.

CDC: U.S. abortion rate falls to lowest level in decades

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The number and rate

of abortions tallied by federal authorities have fallen to their lowest level in
decades, according to new data released
Wednesday.
The latest annual report by the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, incorporating data from
47 states, said the abortion rate for

2013 was 12.5 abortions per 1,000

women aged 15-44 years. That is down
5 percent from 2012, and is half the
rate of 25 recorded in 1980.
The last time the CDC recorded a
lower abortion rate was in 1971, two
years before the U.S. Supreme Courts
Roe v. Wade decision that established a
nationwide right for women to have
abortions. Abortion was legal in some

states at that time.

The CDC tallied 664,435 abortions
in 2013 from the 47 states, down 5
percent from 2012 and down 20 percent from 2004. The CDC does not
receive abortion data from California,
Maryland and New Hampshire and
thus its total is less than the widely
accepted current estimate of more than
900,000 abortions per year in all 50
states.

Scenes of panic as hundreds of Iraqis flee Mosul

By Brian Rohan
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSUL, Iraq They came by

the hundreds men, women and
children fleeing the battle for
Mosul, some bloodied and crying
out for help. So large was the
crowd on the road that Iraqi troops
initially ordered them back, worried that an Islamic State suicide
bomber could be hiding among
them.
Mosuls residents are fleeing in
growing numbers as Iraqi forces
push deeper into the countrys second largest city, and the battlehardened extremists are fighting
for every block, exploiting the
dense urban terrain and using
civilians as human shields.
On Wednesday the tide of displaced people reached the Samah
district, where Iraqi medics treated
dozens of wounded, including at
least six soldiers.
At one point, four children and a
man from the same family were
rushed into the station, bleeding
heavily as their relatives wailed in
grief. A mortar round had slammed
into the inner courtyard of their
home. A few minutes after being
brought to the aid station, a 16month-old girl with a head wound

was pronounced dead.
Then the main rush came hundreds of civilians racing forward
on a dirt road. The troops ordered
them to halt, saying they had
intelligence that IS might send
suicide bombers disguised as

civilians. One of the men raised

his shirt to show that he wasnt
armed, saying he was desperate for
food.
Mosul, which fell to IS in the
summer of 2014, is still home to
more than 1 million people.

Fearing a mass exodus, authorities

have urged residents to stay inside
their homes. But the presence of
civilians has prevented the U.S.backed Iraqi forces from using
overwhelming force, slowing
their advance and prolonging the

citys agony.
The U.N. says at least 68,000
people have fled the fighting in
Mosul, including 8,300 over the
past four days.
Later on Wednesday, Iraqi soldiers arrived from the front lines
with a man who was bound and
hooded. They said they had caught
him burning tires to help the militants hide from airstrikes and the
drones that buzzed overhead.
Trembling, the man said he had
been forced to aid the extremists.
Black Humvees carried wounded
soldiers back from the front. The
body of a special forces soldier
killed in combat was wrapped in a
blanket on the hood of a vehicle.
The Iraqi military does not release
official casualty figures, but field
medics say dozens of troops have
been killed and wounded since the
Mosul operation began last
month.
Mortar rounds, artillery and gunfire rang out throughout the day,
punctuated by occasional booms
from airstrikes that sent plumes of
smoke into the air.
A pre-dawn airstrike by the
U.S.-led coalition struck a bridge
across the Tigris River, which
divides the city in two, leaving
only one crossing intact and disrupting IS supply lines.

Families wait for justice seven years after Philippine massacre

By Teresa Cerojano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA,
Philippines

Relatives of victims of a 2009

massacre in
the southern
Philippines that left 58 people
dead, more than half of them media
workers, marched Wednesday to
the presidential palace in Manila
to protest the lack of convictions
in the ongoing trial seven years
after the killings took place.
Other relatives attended a Mass
and lit candles at a southern ceme-

tery where some victims are buried

to mark the anniversary of the
Nov. 23, 2009, massacre in
Ampatuan town, the bloodiest
election-related killings in the
Philippines and the worlds worst
single attack on journalists.
The victims were traveling in a
convoy of vehicles when they
were flagged down and escorted to
a hilltop where police and gunmen
loyal to a local warlord are accused
of summarily executing and burying them in mass graves. The
brazen killings were allegedly an

attempt to prevent the provincial

strongmans rival from contesting
elections in one of the poorest and
most violent corners of the country.
Its been seven years but we
have not seen any progress,
Arlene Lupogan, a widow of one of
the slain journalists, told
reporters as she suppressed tears.
It is so painful for us that every
year we are here but nothing has
changed.
Mary Grace Morales, whose
husband and sister were among

the 32 media workers killed,

lamented that the previous administrations promise to convict the
perpetrators came to nothing.
She said families of the victims
want to meet with current
President Rodrigo Duterte to call
for justice.
We cannot do anything but
hope, she said in a telephone
interview from southern General
Santos City.
The human rights group
Amnesty International expressed
disappointment that two consecu-

tive administrations have failed

to provide justice for the victims
and their families, with the trial
marked by delays. It said it has yet
to see a genuine commitment
from Duterte to protect press freedom.
The trial has been the biggest in
the country, with at least 197 people charged, including members of
the powerful Ampatuan clan of
Maguindanao province, and 112
people arrested and arraigned. The
suspects have denied the charges
against them.

WASHINGTON
Federal
Reserve officials earlier this
month believed it would be appropriate to raise a key interest rate
relatively soon, with some
arguing for a hike at the Feds next
meeting in December in order to
preserve the Feds credibility.
Minutes of the Nov. 1-2 meeting released Wednesday show that
Fed officials were moving closer
to hiking rates for the first time in
nearly a year. Some officials
argued that if the Fed did not raise
rates at its December meeting, it
ran the risk of harming the central
banks credibility given the many
signals it had sent about an
impending hike.

expect the Fed will boost its
benchmark rate by a quarter-point
at its Dec. 13-14 meeting said

Olawale adds another threat to Raiders offense

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Jamize Olawale earned his

way onto an NFL roster as an undrafted free
agent as a bruising lead blocker whose
unheralded work helps higher-profile stars
shine.
Yet Olawale has developed into a big-play
threat of his own this season for Oakland
with the teams two longest catches of the
season, including the momentum-changing
75-yard touchdown that helped the Raiders

beat the Houston Texans

27-20 on Monday night
in Mexico City to take
over sole possession of
first place in the AFC
West.
I enjoy winning,
Olawale said. Whatever
I have to do to help the
Jamize Olawale team win. Sometimes its
blocking, sometimes its
catching, sometimes its both. Whatever I
have to do.
Olawale wasnt drafted out of North Texas

in 2012 and made the Dallas Cowboys practice squad that season.
The Raiders then signed him to their
active roster that December in a move that
garnered little attention at the time.
Olawale spent most of his first three full
seasons with the Raiders as Marcel Reeces
backup as the team saw enough promise to
keep two fullbacks on the roster in an era
when many teams dont even carry one.
The Raiders gave Olawale a three-year
extension last December and he became the
unquestioned starter when Reece was suspended late last season for violating the

leagues policy on performance-enhancing

drugs.
Hes here for a good amount of time and
hopefully hell be here as long as I am,
quarterback Derek Carr said.
I love Maze. The cool thing about him
is that not only is he a real, really good
football player, hes one of the best people
Ive ever been around. Hes quiet, hes funny
and he works extremely hard.
So, whenever you have a guy like that
having success, everyone in the locker

Golden State sets new franchise single-game record with 47 assists

Warriors whip Lakers

OAKLAND Stephen Curry had 31

points with seven 3-pointers and nine
assists, Kevin Durant scored 28 and the
Golden State Warriors found an astonishing
rst-half offensive ow to run away from the
undermanned Los Angeles Lakers 149-106
on Wednesday night.
The Warriors franchise-record 47 assists
on 53 baskets are the most in the NBA
this season and their most in more than 22
years.
Golden State had 26 assists on 29 baskets
before the break, as in sync as the Warriors
have been since adding Durant during the
offseason and far better than when they took
a 20-point beating at Los Angeles less than
three weeks ago.
Klay Thompson added 26 points with four
3s and Ian Clark scored 21 off the bench,
while Draymond Green dished out 11 assists
to go with nine boards and ve points in the
Warriors ninth straight victory.
Rookie No. 2 overall draft pick Brandon
Ingram scored a career-best 16 points in his
rst start for Los Angeles, which had no
answers defensively as Golden State shot
61.6 percent with 19 3-pointers.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has repeatedly
noted it might take time for his team to really click, yet at 15 games in Golden State
was in top form at least for one spectacular night of basketball.
And rst-year Lakers coach Luke Walton
had to watch the onslaught from the other
side this time. The former top assistant for
Golden State returned to Oracle Arena and
saw his old guys thoroughly dominate a
young, beat-up Los Angeles squad that got
more bad injury news regarding point guard
DAngelo Russells knee injury.
Walton spent the rst 43 games last season as Golden State interim coach while
eventual Coach of the Year Kerr took a prolonged leave of absence dealing with complications following two back surgeries.

Shot heard round the world pitcher Branca dies

By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ralph Brancas career was defined by that

one high-and-inside fastball.
The Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher who gave up
Bobby Thomsons famed Shot Heard Round
the World that still echoes more than six
decades later as one of the most famous home
runs in baseball history, died Wednesday. He
was 90.
His son-in-law, former big league manager
Bobby Valentine, said Branca died at a nursing

home in Rye, New York.

Branca was a three-time
All-Star and spent 12 seasons in the majors.
Brought in from the
bullpen in the bottom of
the ninth inning during
the deciding Game 3 of the
National League pennant
playoff in 1951, he gave
Ralph Branca up a three-run homer to
Thomson that gave the rival New York Giants
a stunning 5-4 victory.

The one-out line drive into the left field

lower deck at the Polo Grounds prompted the
frenetic call from announcer Russ Hodges,
The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win
the pennant! The team and its fans celebrated
wildly as Thomson breezed around the bases
while Branca, wearing his unlucky No. 13 jersey, trudged off the mound.
You know, Branca told The Associated
Press in 1990, If you kill somebody, they
sentence you to life, you serve 20 years and
you get paroled. ... Ive never been paroled.
Thomson, who also homered off Branca in

Game 1, capped a sensational comeback for

the Giants, who trailed the Dodgers by more
than a dozen games heading toward midAugust.
For the next 50 years, Branca and Thomson
often appeared together at card shows, corporate events and baseball functions, re-telling
the story of the home run that grew into a
sports legend. They always were friendly at
the affairs, sometimes even teaming up to
sing about the big moment.

Arena faces a more skeptical soccer audience

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Bruce Arena the sequel faces

a more skeptical audience than the original.
Arena was celebrated for coaching the
Americans to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, and fired four years later after they failed
to advance past the first round.
Bob Bradley and Jurgen Klinsmann led the
U.S. to the round of 16 at the last two World
Cups, and a second-round appearance is pretty much a minimum accomplishment for an
American coach these days as a maturing fan
base has increased expectations exponentially.
I dont think theres any doubt that pressure has increased on everyone involved in
the game, whether thats players, coaches,
administrators, leaders or anything else,
U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati
said Tuesday after replacing Klinsmann with
Arena. Changes in technology and the speed
of information and social media add the
dimension of pressure that wouldnt have
been the same for Bruce in his first goround.
And thats not all.
Our fans know the game in a way that may
not have been the case in such numbers 20

years ago or even 15 years ago, Gulati said.

We have more educated, passionate fans with
a way to express their views: social media.
With five NCAA titles at Virginia, two
Major League Soccer championships with
D.C. United and three more MLS crowns with
the LA Galaxy, the 65-year-old Arena is a
proven winner. He was inducted into the U.S.
National Soccer Hall of Fame six years ago.
But he inherits a roster frequently outmatched, one that appeared dysfunctional in
losses to Mexico and Costa Rica opening the
final round of World Cup qualifying in North
and Central America and the Caribbean.
I think U.S. soccer has made great
progress, Arena said. I believe since I left
in 2006 the pool of players has certainly
expanded.
Both his World Cup rosters included 12
players from European clubs and 11 from
Major League Soccer. The U.S. remains a
team partly suffering from jet lag when it
gathers.
This group will not see each other again
until Sunday or Monday before a Friday qualifier in March, captain Michael Bradley said
after last weeks 4-0 loss in Costa Rica,
which led to Klinsmanns firing,
Arena will have to juggle his lineup right
from the start: midfielder Jermaine Jones and

right back Timmy Chandler are suspended for

the March 24 home qualifier against
Honduras because of yellow-card accumulation.
Arenas national team was known for
emphasis on defense and counterattacks. As
he takes over, the priority will be on grinding out wins to wipe out the deficit in the
Americans eight remaining games of the
hexagonal. The top three teams qualify and
the fourth-place finisher advances to a playoff against Asias No. 5 team.
If the U.S. wins at home against Honduras,
Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica and Panama,
and picks up a few points on the road, it
should qualify for its eighth straight World

Santa Clara and 49ers are

butting heads over stadium
BY BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

SANTA CLARA The Santa Clara City

Council voted Tuesday to issue a letter to the
San Francisco 49ers demanding documents for
an audit on Levis Stadium operations.
In a unanimous vote the council, which also
serves as the citys Stadium Authority Board,
decided to send the 30-day notice to the teams
Stadium Management Company for documents
required under Measure J, which was passed by
voters in 2010 to build the sports arena.
San Francisco-based Harvey Rose
Associates LLC was hired for the audit, which
has been delayed because the requested records
havent been submitted, Mayor Lisa Gillmor
said during the councils Tuesday meeting.
The audit has shown that the citys general
fund money has been used on the stadium,
which violates Measure J, Gillmor said.
The Stadium Authority has received limited
information from the management company

in the two-and-half years

since the venue opened,
Gillmor said.
The management company is hired by the city,
which owns the stadium,
and the agreement says
the documents have to be
prepared and delivered to
Lisa Gillmor the Stadium Authority,
Gillmor said.
Acting City Manager Rajeev Batra told the
council that he went to the management companys offices with the citys attorney and
finance director on Friday when they verified
the required documents exist.
The documents can be provided upon
request, but some containing private information havent been delivered to City Hall, Batra
said.
There may be fear that sending all the documents, some of which may contain trade

secrets, and treating them as a public record

could lead to the release of proprietary information, City Attorney Richard Nosky said.
You cant just have the management company declare somethings confidential to
avoid the law, to avoid the contract, she said.
The mayor said shed like to see the stadium
be successful and the documents will help the
city correct any deficiencies.
We need to have a say in the future of this
stadium, this property and how its operated,
she said.
[Tuesdays] decision was expected and continues a disturbing trend of frivolous and
groundless actions by the Mayor and her allies
on the Council, putting politics ahead of civic
responsibility, the 49ers said in a statement
released Tuesday night.
The fact is that the Authority has received
and/or reviewed all relevant documents and
have had access to do so throughout the
process, the team said.

been teams that are hard to play against,

Arena said. Were traditionally strong in the
goal; we have very good goalkeepers. We
have some young attacking talent, and we
have some experienced players in the midfield. We have to find a way to get the right
balance, the right combinations on the field
and the right mentality, and well produce a
good team. What it looks like in the end, I
cant tell you now but Im certain were going
to develop a good team.
Christian Pulisic, just 18, already has
shown himself to be one of the more formidable dribblers on the team, able to get past
several defenders. But he still lacks judgment
on when to take on the third or fourth defender or to pass.
Klinsmann had targeted 18-year-old defender Cameron Carter-Vickers and 20-year-old
midfielder Lynden Gooch as players of the
future. Coaches and fans want to look
ahead, but Arenas focus will be earning
points.
Draws at home and losses anywhere usually
lead to furious fans.
No one likes to face the firing squad, as it
were, in terms of media or fans that are upset
about something, Gulati said, but thats a
natural part of the growth of the game, and
that certainly is a very big positive.

Love scored 40 points, including an

College football brief

Division III football
player faces murder charge
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. A football player at
Division III Maryville (Tennessee) College
faces a first-degree murder charge in the shooting death of a 16-year-old girl.
Knox County Sheriffs Office officials
announced Wednesday that William Riley Gaul,
a freshman wide receiver, was arrested late
Tuesday night in connection with the death of
Emma Walker. Officials said Gaul was being held
at the Knox County Jail on $750,000 bond.
A preliminary hearing has been set for Dec. 2.
Sheriffs officials said Walker was found dead
of a gunshot wound inside her house Monday

morning. Officials said evidence at the scene

indicted Gaul fired shots into her bedroom from
outside the house while she slept.
Walker was a student at Central High School
in Knoxville, Tennessee. Maryvilles football
roster indicates Gaul graduated from Central
High.
Maryville athletic department spokesman
Chris Cannon said in a statement that,
Maryville College is cooperating fully with
the Knox County Sheriffs Department in this
investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with
the victims family and friends and other individuals affected by this tragedy.
Maryville coach Shaun Hayes said through a
spokesman that Gaul has been dismissed from
the football program. Maryville already has
completed its season.

Oakland cut Reece when he was eligible to
return earlier this season because Olawale
offered the same threat as a runner and
receiver while being more adept as a blocker.
Olawale has made that confidence pay off
for the Raiders this season. He has eight
catches for 189 yards and one TD and has
carried 17 times for 47 yards and two scores
as he has proven to be far more than a blocker.
He scored on short TD runs against New
Orleans and San Diego, but has made his
biggest impact with the ball as a receiver
out of the backfield.
His 68-yard catch and run set up a field
goal in an overtime win at Tampa Bay last
month, then he helped wake up a stalled
offense with his big play against the
Texans.
With the defense worried about Amari
Cooper as a receiver out of the backfield in
the flat, Olawale got downfield and caught a
deep throw from Carr.
He then ran the rest of the way for the

Among NFL players

biggest challenges:
managing big bucks
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Playing in the NFL brings

many challenges. Money management might
not seem to belong on that list.
Yet experts say it should be a high priority
even for players just entering the league.
No one is suggesting the fans who spend
their hard-earned wages to support pro football should sympathize with guys who might
waste the big bucks on bad investments or
unwise spending. But they should recognize
that millions upon millions of dollars can
bring dozens upon dozens of problems for
NFL players.
We all have different vices, said former
NFL linebacker Bart Scott, whos helping
Morgan Stanley Global Sports &
Entertainments financial education program
for football players. Some have entourages,
friends, family they support, or they overextend themselves buying a house too early, or
the career is not going the way you need it to,
or you have child support.
Ive seen guys lose money in a multitude of
ways, so were trying to give them more information, provide checks and balances.
Players can get money management guidance from programs like Morgan Stanley
GSE, as well as through the NFL and the players union. Its essential education, whether for
a rookie making the six-figure minimum or
the star earning eight figures a year.
The union, for example has an online learning center where players can complete assessments to determine where they stand financially, and identify their key vulnerabilities. That
site also provides them with additional information to help meet their financial goals and
objectives.
They also can get access to counselors,
webinars and in-person seminars and workshops. The NFLPA provides bi-weekly communications to the players to keep them
informed on hot topics.
I think the biggest issue for players is the
sudden wealth factor, said Dana Hammonds,
senior director of player development for the
union. Many players are coming from ethnic
poverty and all of a sudden are thrust into this
industry where they are paid millions of dollars and it literally happens overnight. There
are very few individuals in society prepared to
handle the sudden wealth. It is the emotional

There are very few individuals in

society prepared to handle the
sudden wealth. It is the
emotional side they have to deal

side they have to deal with, along with a quick

and steep learning curve. And the career is 3
1/2 years on average, so a lot of that goes on
very quickly.
Which makes it ever more critical for players to immediately get a handle on their
finances once they make a roster even
before the big paydays might come.
Patrick Kerney spent 11 seasons as an NFL
defensive end, making the All-Pro team in
2007. Soon after he retired in 2009, Kerney
went to work for the league in the player
investments area.
My big idea behind joining the league
office was that they held offseason camps for
broadcasting and other (subjects), he said,
and we had lots of guys with interest in those
things. But 100 percent of our players should
have disposable income they should have to
manage, so a financial boot camp had universal application. It was a no-brainer to get guys
together in the offseason to dial back from all
the noise and hear unbiased information and
the real numbers in the investment world.
Among Kerneys main concerns was getting
quality unbiased info to them before too
much damage is done by advisers who dont
have the players best interests at heart.
The biggest pitfall is correlating football
achievement with investment know-how,
Kerney added. If you are a young player and
the All-Pro on your team is doing X, Y and Z
with his assets, of course you think that is the
right thing to do with your assets. But 99 percent of the time it is not.
So getting them the right info, that is
key.
Kerney has left the NFL, but his boot camp
creation remains a major offseason initiative
to provide that info. So are the financial education sessions that are mandatory in the
leagues rookie transition and rookie success
programs.

Astros not on Reddicks radar

at beginning of free agency
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Josh Reddick never expected to hear from the

Houston Astros.
I didnt know if I was on these guys radar, the outfielder
said Wednesday after finalizing a $52 million, four-year contract. It was something that came out of nowhere for me, not
in a bad way. I was very excited to hear from them. Texas is
something that brings me a little closer to home.
Reddick, who is from Georgia, was drafted by Boston in
2006, traded to Oakland after the 2011 season and dealt to the
Los Angeles Dodgers at last summers trade
deadline on Aug. 1. Astros general manager
Jeff Luhnow said Houston and Oakland
talked about a possible deal.
This is going to be a winning environment for the next four years, Luhnow said,
describing his pitch to Reddick. We were
willing to commit to the length of the deal
early. Really felt like he fit in well with the
culture that were trying to build here. It
Josh Reddick spoke to him because hes seen it firsthand.
Reddick, who gets $13 million in each of the next four seasons, appealed to the Astros as a free agent because he bats lefthanded, won a Gold Glove and does not turn 30 until February.
In eight big league seasons, Reddick has 96 homers, 346
RBIs and a .255 batting average.
Get to stay in the same division. Very comfortable being in
this division, Reddick said. I know how things work. I know
the stadiums. I know the pitching staffs. I know the hitters. So
its going to make this a very easy transition for me.
Minute Maid Park was considered to be hitter friendly, even
before renovations this offseason moved the center field wall
in from 436 feet to 409. Reddick is looking forward to hitting
more home runs in Houston than he did at the Oakland
Coliseum.
Hopefully some of these fly balls Ive hit at the Coliseum
over the last 4 1/2 years can maybe be 10 rows deep here, he
said.

The New York Giants Bobby Thomson, left, takes Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca deep in a 1951 pennant-winning
playoff game in one of the most famous home runs in baseball history.

BRANCA
Continued from page 11
I was closer to Ralph than to any other Dodger, Dodgers
broadcaster Vin Scully said in a statement. He carried the cross
of the Thomson home run with dignity and grace.
It wasnt until many years later that it was revealed that the
Giants had a little extra help.
Thats when it came to light that the Giants employed a telescope-and-buzzer system that season to steal signs from opposing catchers. With that advantage, Giants hitters got a boost in
their swings.
And for years, the question remained: Did Thomson know the
high-and-inside fastball from Branca was coming?
Thomson firmly asserted that, no, he didnt get a sign in
advance. A three-time All-Star himself, Thomson stuck to that
claim until he died in 2010 at age 86.
Branca, however, wasnt so sure about that.
In 2001, the Giants sign-stealing operation was detailed in a
story in The Wall Street Journal.
A few days after that, Branca and Thomson saw each other for
the first time at an event in Edison, New Jersey. They talked in
private for five minutes, about a secret theyd both known about
but never shared.
Later, they spoke about their discussion.
Its been a cleansing for both of us, Branca said then. He
knew that I knew. Its better this way.
To me, it was a forbidden subject, the right-hander said. And
I didnt want to demean Bobby or seem like I was a crybaby.
Said Thomson: It was like getting something off my chest
after all those years. Im not a criminal, although I may have felt
like one at first.
And then, hours later, Thomson and Branca appeared together
in Manhattan at the New York baseball writers dinner. In front of

a ballroom full of fans, they took turns singing about the fateful
pitch and swing, to lyrics written to the old standard Because of
You a reprise of the act they performed when the same dinner
was held in January 1952.
His matchup with Thomson was recounted by Don Delillo in a
1992 Harpers Magazine story Pafko at the Wall, included five
years later in the novel Underworld.
Yes. It is Branca coming through the dampish glow. Branca
who is tall and stalwart but seems to carry his own hill and dale,
he has the aura of a man encumbered. The drooping lids, clodhopper feet, the thick ridge across the brow. His face is set behind
a somber nose, broad-bridged and looming.
One of the last remaining Boys of Summer, Branca was 88-68
with a 3.79 ERA in his big league career. He spent the first 11
years with the Dodgers, then played for Detroit and the Yankees
before returning to Brooklyn for a final game in 1956.
Branca made his debut as a teen in 1944 and went 21-12 with
15 complete games during Jackie Robinsons first season in
1947. Branca added another win that year at Yankee Stadium in
the World Series.
Branca to me was a hero, former Dodgers manager Tommy
Lasorda said in a statement. Ralph and I became very close, my
family and his family. I always enjoyed being around him. He
was a tough one in every way and I really admired him.
Branca co-founded the Baseball Assistance Team, which aids
members of the baseball family in need of financial, medical or
psychological assistance, and served as its president for 17
years. He was a pallbearer at Robinsons funeral in 1972.
Ralphs participation in the Shot Heard Round the World
was eclipsed by the grace and sportsmanship he demonstrated
following one of the games signature moments, baseball
Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. He is better
remembered for his dedication to the members of the baseball
community. He was an inspiration to so many of us.
Branca is survived by wife Ann and daughters Patti and Mary
the latter the wife of Valentine. A funeral is scheduled for Tuesday
at the Church of the Resurrection in Rye.

Sharks 2, Blackhawks 1

Sharks earn big

win over Chicago
By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Logan Couture and

Joel Ward scored in the rst period
and the San Jose Sharks gave the
Chicago Blackhawks their second
straight loss with a 2-1 victory on
Wednesday night.
Artemi Panarin scored for the
Blackhawks, who suffered backto-back losses for the rst time
since opening the season 0-2.
Martin Jones, who had his 15th
career shutout Monday night,
stopped 33 shots for his 10th win
of the year.
Corey Crawford saved 33 shots
for the Blackhawks, who entered
the contest with points in 10 of
their last 12 games against San
Jose.
Chicago captain Jonathan
Toews left with an unspecied
injury following the second period. He leads the league with 292
faceoff wins and had a game-high
eight after two periods.
The Sharks scored twice in the
rst period for the second consecutive game, getting a power-play
goal from Couture at 11:32 and a
short-handed goal from Ward three
minutes later.
Couture, who scored for the third
time in four games after netting
three goals over his rst 16, beat
Crawford to the glove side after

taking a sharp pass from Joe

Pavelski.
Chris Tierney, from behind the
net, threw the puck down the center of the ice and Ward got the jump
on Brent Seabrook, who slipped
going after the puck. Ward patiently worked the puck deep and got
Crawford on the ice for an easy tap
in.
The Blackhawks responded with
a goal in the second period. Niklas
Hjalmarsson dug out the puck from
along the boards and ipped a pass
to a streaking Artem Anisimov,
who found Panarin. The secondyear wing clanked the puck off the
right side post and into the net.
Crawford, who has allowed 13
goals in his last four games, was a
rock over the nal 45 minutes,
though Jones was also up to the
task.
NOTES: Pavelski has points in
each of his last four games. ... The
Sharks have recorded a short-handed goal in two straight. . . .
Hjalmarsson recorded his 12th
point in 26 games against the
Sharks. ... Anisimov claimed his
second point over his last seven
games after scoring in each of his
previous 11.

Up next
Sharks : Continue their homestand with a game against the New
York Islanders on Friday.

fans, seeing some of the same security

guards, being in the other locker room,
Walton said.

Tip-ins

Continued from page 11

Walton guided the Warriors to a record 24-0

start and 39-4 overall record while in charge.
Golden States assists were their most
since getting 45 against Minnesota on April
1, 1994.
Curry shot 11 of 18 and 7 for 12 from
beyond the arc. The two-time reigning MVP
already set the single-season 3-point record
with 13 on the way to 46 points in a Nov. 7
win against New Orleans three days after
going 0 for 10 from long range against the
Lakers to have his streak with at least one 3
snapped at 157 regular-season games.
Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson also
scored 16 apiece for the Lakers.

Lakers : Russell will be out for at least two

more weeks after getting a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left knee. Jose
Calderon started for the third time in
Russells absence. In addition, F Julius
Randle was out with a hip pointer.
Warri o rs : Golden State shot 62.5 percent
in its big rst quarter, hitting 6 of 10 3s, and
61.7 percent in the rst half. ... The Warriors
have a franchise-record nine straight games
with 30 or more assists and 11 of 15 this season. Its the longest consecutive game streak
with 30-plus assists since Charlottes NBArecord 13 in 1989.

Waltons warm welcome

Up next

Walton waved and smiled as fans cheered

and jumped to their feet for a standing ovation when he was introduced before tipoff.
They brought back their chant of
Luuuuuuuke! that kind of sounds like boos.
It is a little weird. Its more strange
tonight than it was in L.A., walking into this
building, pulling up on a bus, seeing the

These teams see each other again very

soon, as in back-to-back games: Friday
night at Staples Center, with the Warriors ying out to Southern California on
Thanksgiving evening.
Asked about a tough upcoming trip with
four of ve away from home, Walton quipped,
Ill take the road over the Warriors.

said. Its like Halloween and all that

candy. You cant eat a bunch of stuff your
body isnt used to.
Daskorolis said in the past, he and his
runners will have a pasta dinner the night
before a big race. But before you think its
some kind of marinara mania, Daskorolis
said that is hardly the case. Plain noodles
are eaten by many and if they get a salad,
Theyll go very light on the oil and vinegar, Daskorolis said.
While the state races are always two days
after Thanksgiving, the two-week break
between the Central Coast Section championships and the state meet is also a constant.
There are two sides to the question of
how much rest is too much? Other sections,
like the North Coast Section, ran their section championship races last weekend.
Daskorolis said CCS coaches know how to
train for the two-week break, much like
NCS coaches know how to train their runners for the rigors of high-pressure races
two weeks in row.
Its always a two-week break (between
CCS and state). If you plan your season
properly (its no big deal), Daskorolis
said. There were some of our coaches in
the PAL who said it was too much of a
break. The two weeks, to me, makes sense.
I think its [a health issue], especially if
you have a kid who has some (minor
injuries).
Daskorolis said a few years ago some
coaches were grumbling about the twoweek break, so one coach said he would put
together and host an all-comers meet to
keep runners in peak competitive shape.
Hardly anybody came out, Daskorolis
said.
So when you sit down to attack the
Thanksgiving spread Thursday, maybe give
a brief pause to remember all those cross

country runners who must wistfully gaze at

the cornucopia of food being passed around
the table and pick at their sparse meals, all
in the name of competition.
But while youre sleeping off that turkey
coma over the next couple days, those
same cross country runners will be putting
all that sacrifice on the line for one last
shot at glory.
***
The PAL football coaches had their annual postseason meeting this past Monday
and, among other things, the annual
realignment of the divisions were made.
There was only one move made for the
2017 season: Half Moon Bay, which has
gone 8-2 in Ocean Division play, 21-4
overall and which will play for a second
straight CCS Division V title over the last
two seasons, will be moved into the Bay
Division for the first time since 2012.
It was one-and-done for the Cougars that
one year playing with the best the PAL had
to offer, as they went 0-5 in division play
and were just 1-9 overall.
2017 could be quite different, however, as
the Cougars will be returning a bulk of
their key players.
With Half Moon Bay moving up to the
Bay, a current Bay member had to be moved
down and, after much debate, the coaches
voted that it would be Hillsdale.
Its a tough pill to swallow for the
Knights, who made their Bay Division
debut this season. The Knights went just 14 in Bay play, beating Sacred Heart Prep
16-13. But other than a blowout loss to MA which did that to everyone in the Bay
this season the Knights were certainly
competitive enough to merit staying in the
top division in the PAL. In three losses
other than M-A, the Knights were beaten
by a combined 22 points.

Serving up style with new trays and platters

By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The holidays are the perfect chance

to show off special serveware and
update your kitchen with a cool new
platter or tray.
Lorna Aragon, home editor at Martha
Stewart Living, has some suggestions:
To serve dips in a stylish and secure
way, use removable self-adhesive
Velcro dots to attach a bowl to the middle of a platter; then surround it with
chips or crudites, she says. It wont
slip when youre passing it around,
and its a great way to use your favorite
pieces together.
Aragon also suggests using pretty
trays to organize your bar: On top of
a side table or buffet, put your liquor
bottles on one and glasses on another.
This creates visual interest and also
makes cleaning easy.
Lornas go-to trays are the lacquer
ones
from
West
Elm.
(www.westelm.com)
They make them in different colors
every year, they come in different
shapes, and theyre a great basic, she
says.
For artistic types, head to the
Museum of Modern Arts online shop,
where theres a collection of trays
printed with motifs from the archives
of American designer Alexander Girard.
Paola Navones Fish & Fish dish is
inspired by green, Depression-era
glass. And traditional oriental lacquerware gets a contemporary update with

fresh, minimalist hues and a mix of

glossy and matte finishes. The bowls
could hold snack crackers or utensils.
(https://store.moma.org)
At Aerin, an Art Deco-inspired,
curvy, polished, brass bowl sits on

Exhibit offers rare glimpse at

Bunny Mellons botanical art
By Katherine Roth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK She started gardening at

age 5 and became a consummate horticulturalist and art collector, particularly of botanical art. But until now, Rachel Bunny
Mellons vast collection could be seen by
invitation only at her Oak Spring Garden
estate and library, just outside Washington,
D.C.
In what is being billed as a coming-out
party for the Mellon collection, more than
50 works, most never before shown in public, are now on view at the New York
Botanical Garden in the Bronx.
The show, Redoute to Warhol: Bunny
Mellons Botanical Art, will remain on
view at the gardens Lester T. Mertz Library
through Feb. 12.

had, by the time of her death in 2014 at age

than 10,000 rare and scholarly books. All
were housed at Oak Spring, in Upperville,
Virginia.

the botanical gardens library.

Organized chronologically and by theme,
the exhibit begins with 14th century drawings from books pertaining to gardening
and agriculture. Another section shows gorgeous images of tulips from the 17th century, when the demand for rare bulbs became
so intense that some tulip varieties cost
more than a house.
They needed artists at that time to document what kinds of tulips were available,
Fraser said. And at one point, Mellon
bought up bunches of these very rare tulip
illustrations.
The show also includes hand-colored
engravings by French artist Jacques
LeMoyne de Morgues; floral works by
artists in the French royal court for King
Louis XIV; and 18th century watercolors on
vellum by German artist Georg Dionysius
Ehret. A voluptuous 1737 Ehret painting of
a Southern magnolia stands out for its
painstaking detail.
In another section is a wall of 17th century studies of plants, insects, spiders, mollusks and reptiles by Jan Van Kessel the
Elder.
The Van Kessels are my favorites, Fraser
said. We suspect they were originally built
into a Cabinet of Curiosities and were later
framed in this way. They record what was
probably a real collection and are so beautifully rendered.
There are also 19th and 20th century
works on paper and canvas by artists including Henri Rousseau and Pablo Picasso.
One of the more recent works in the show
is an Andy Warhol illustration and handwritten recipe for a cookbook. Entitled
Vine Leaf Marinade, its a 1959 ink and
watercolor on paper.
Although there is no immediate plan for
the exhibit to travel beyond New York,
Crane said an increasing number of works
from the collection will be loaned to other
exhibits around the country. A small selection is to be exhibited at the Yale Center for
British Art in New Haven, Connecticut,
starting in February.
Much of the vast collection can be seen
online on the foundations website,
www.osgf.org.

Joy or hope? Holiday giving

may depend on how you voted
By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Travelers wait in a security check point line at OHare Airport before the busy Thanksgiving Day
weekend in Chicago.

Thanksgiving travel expected

to be the heaviest since 2007
By Tammy Webber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Elizabeth Thompson cant

wait to leave the big city behind and decompress over the Thanksgiving holiday at her
grandmothers house in rural south-central
Indiana. But first she has to get there.
On Wednesday, Thompson, 23, missed her
Amtrak train from Chicago to Galesburg,
Illinois, where shed planned to catch a ride
with a family member the rest of the way to
Edinburgh, Indiana.
Its just where we go to unplug and
escape, said Thompson, who had to decide
whether to wait several hours for the next
train or hop on a bus and get going.
Americans took to the roads, air and railways Wednesday for what is expected to be
the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in
almost a decade. Almost 49 million people
are expected to travel 50 miles or more
between Wednesday and Sunday, the most
since 2007, because of lower gas prices and
an improving economy, according to AAA.
And while they look forward to eating
turkey and watching football, many are
ready to abandon another, more recent,
American pastime: rehashing the rancorous
election between Republican Donald Trump

and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

My mother specifically said, Were not
going to talk about it, for her grandmothers sake, Thompson said. Although nobody
in her family supported President-elect
Trump, my grandmother is sick of hearing
about it.
Sitting on their suitcases at a departure
lounge at OHare International Airport,
Sharyn Ioffe and her brother Saul Ioffe, both
of Chicago, said theres a good chance politics will intervene this Thanksgiving when
they arrive home in New York.
Im pretty anxious about it, said Sharyn
Ioffe, 27, who supported Clinton, though
others in her family sided with Trump. Im
still very emotional about the election. I
know you have to try and understand the
other side. But Im not there yet.
Saul Ioffe, 20, said he is expecting some
heated exchanges.
Im battening down the hatches, he
said.
The weather appeared to be cooperating
for the most part, with no significant issues
in the majority of the country, the National
Weather Service said. There was drizzle and
light fog in Chicago, a major airline hub,
but delays were only averaging 15 minutes,
according to the Chicago Department of
Aviation.

NEW YORK This holiday season, elves

and joy may be on the way out and peace
and hope on the way in. A divisive election that left half the country deflated and the
other half rejuvenated could reverberate
through the holiday shopping season in the
gifts people give or how they spend.
Some retailers say they have seen a surge
in feel-good items such as spa treatments,
candles and comfort food, while executives
at some major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target
and Macys have said theres no discernable
shift in consumer behavior since the presidential election won by Republican Donald
Trump.
The divide in the outlook may reflect the
rift in the election, as Americans split along
geographic lines as well as by income.
I dont need a comfort dog. I dont need
anybody to feel sorry for me, said Rhondi
Bleeker, 50, of Totowa, New Jersey. Im
actually happy because I was for Trump.
Bleeker, who owns an eyelash extension
business, believes the economy will be better now. She says shell still be spending the
same $3,000 as she does every holiday season, but she believes her business could do
even better because whether people are sad or
happy, most will want retail therapy.
Some shoppers say they plan to divert
money from traditional gifts like sweaters to
donations to charity groups in their friends
or relatives names.
Ryan Holmes of Chicago, who voted for
Democrat Hillary Clinton, said he plans to
devote at least one-quarter of the $750 he
typically spends on holiday gifts to doing
that. Even for gifts like music or books, he
says he cant help but feel he might make a
political statement such as perhaps giving a
book on climate change to educate a friend.
I am frightened to whats to come, and sad
and less hopeful, said Holmes, 34, an urban
planning and real estate consultant. But he
added, Im feeling more engaged.
Shoppers have generally been moving
away from buying stuff and more towards
spending on experiences. Factors from the
weather to when Thanksgiving falls already
affect how stores fare at the holidays, and

retailers from department stores to discounters are under intense pressure from online
sellers to offer low prices and convenience.
A dip in buying before a presidential election is normal as people are distracted, but
spending usually bounces back afterward.
Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst and
director at Adobe Systems, an online
research company, said that between Nov. 1
and Nov. 14 this year, retailers lost out on
more than $800 million in online revenue,
with the sharpest drop happening after the
Nov. 8 election. States that voted
Democratic have seen the biggest drops
since the election, she said. Gaffney says
shes waiting to see how the Thanksgiving
weekend plays out and may have to revise
the original holiday online sales growth
forecast of 11 percent.
We are in uncharted territory, said Gerald
Storch, the CEO of Hudsons Bay Co., which
operates department stores under that name,
Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue. We
will know more as we get past Black Friday.
The divide could play into the hands of
retailers who customize goods to cater to
increasingly fragmented tastes.
While some people might drive an election boost, there are going to be others that
will hold back, said Frank Badillo, director
of research at consumer research group
MacroSavvy LLC. The winners and losers
are going to be divided by category, by
store, by different parts of the country.
Peter Gold, chief marketing officer at
Market Americas online marketplace
Shop.com, says since late October hes seen
a sales surge in spa products, candles, and
comfort food that he expects will continue
through the holidays.
Products that bear words like hope and
kindness are seeing sales as much as double since the election, says Lee Rhodes,
founder and CEO of the nine-store
Glassybaby chain that sells handblown
glass items. Those with themes like elf
and joy have not kept pace, she said.
Nielsens most recent surveys have shown
that food has catapulted into the No. 2 spot
in terms of hot holiday gifts, past toys and
consumer electronics this season, said
Jordan Rost of the companys consumer
insights division.

CONDOS

said, adding its challenging to provide much-needed housing on the

Peninsula if developers cant rely on
existing codes.
Between securing building permits,
finalizing financing and construction,
Catanzaro said he anticipates the property will come on line in about two
years. Whether it will be offered as
rentals or for sale will depend on the
market at that time, he added.
Redevelopment will involve demolishing an existing single-family home
and vacant lot formerly used to house
Project 90s Christmas tree lot
which will occupy a neighboring parcel Catanzaro owns but which is not
part of the redevelopment. The fourstory building with 15 condominiums
will have underground parking within
the 15,300-square-foot lot off Second
Avenue.
Catanzaro said the project was put
on hold during the recession and hes
pleased his firm decided to develop it
instead of selling the property. He
also owns two other adjacent parcels
that make up another approximately

25,000 square feet, although there are

currently no plans for that corner site
closer to Third Avenue, Catanzaro
said.
During their deliberation earlier in
the year, some planning commissioners questioned why these neighboring
parcels werent included in the
Fremont Street redevelopment, noting
the city is in a housing crisis.
After its denial of the Fremont project, the commission approved another
multi-family proposal very close by in
the North Central neighborhood. The
commission gave a green light to a different developers proposal to construct a three-story, seven-unit townhome complex at 737 Second Ave.,
across the street from the Fremont
Street parcel.
Both developments abut smaller single-family homes, but are also proximate to the much larger Gateway
Commons affordable housing condominium complex, as well as the
Metropolitan Apartments.
Residents from the neighboring
condominiums as well as single-family homes expressed concerns about the
Fremont Street proposal during the
commission as well as council meeting. But after being presented with
higher quality renderings and noting
traffic studies indicated minimal
impacts, the council made the decision
to overturn the commissions decision
while assuring planners they were
appreciative of their service.
I think the Planning Commission
serves a very vital function where if
theyre going to err on the side of caution, theyre going to err on the side of
caution, Lim said. So I want to commend them and urge them to continue
being an independent voice.

their way down 34th Street, amid the

sea of spectators.
Bianco has been dancing with her
sisters since the age of 3, when her
two older sisters, five and eight years
her senior, taught her to dance.
My sisters were both dancers
growing up and taught me how to
dance when I was young, said
Bianco. It was a legacy my parents
left us to dance together.
She has been involved in tap, jazz
and ballet ever since, performing in
countless performances throughout
her life, she said.
Drake has been directing choreography for the trees for the past 25 years.
The trees perform at numerous
parades, tree-lighting ceremonies,
parties and shows.
Pamm is big on being dignified

each tree must have the complete tree

outfit on at all times. As she says,
Mickey Mouse is never seen with
parts of his costume off, Bianco
said.
Bianco said that Drakes precision
in both choreography and costume
has made the dancing trees a popular
addition to the annual parade.
People bring signs that say We
love trees! and they like to take pictures with us, Bianco said.
Trees will awake early Thursday and
decorate themselves as trees, complete with gold earrings and a Santa
hat with a tree on top. They will hit
the street at 6 a.m. Following their
performance, the trees will rest their
feet and join a group of 130 for a
Thanksgiving feast at New Yorks
famed Italian restaurant Carmines.

eased his mind about it fitting in.
If it was my house [next door] Id
probably be here also objecting. But
the reality is we cant just deny a project based on whim, Lim said, according to a live video of the meeting.
This project meets all the requirements of a R4D zone, which is dense
residential, so it is part of what should
be expected in a zone of this classification.
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet
agreed, adding she wasnt sure why the
project was denied in the first place and
noted design standards for the area near
downtown call for a variety of architectural styles. While also sympathetic to neighbors concerns, she argued
completely halting development wasnt a solution to existing issues.
Traffic throughout our city right
now is horrible. There isnt a neighborhood thats not affected, Freschet
said. But we dont solve that by not
allowing property owners to build.
Property owner Victor Catanzaro, of
San
Mateo-based Wall
Street
Properties, said he was relieved the
council upheld the citys zoning policies after theyd worked with city staff
for years to create a project in conformance with requirements.
It was the correct decision and what
the City Council was able to see was
the project and that the project was
designed within the zoning code. If
districts shouldnt be developed to
what the zoning permits, then the district should be changed, Catanzaro

Dancers log a tremendous amount of
time practicing before each parade.
Bianco has been in the parade four
times and said she begins preparation
in June, when auditions take place.
Trees begin practicing together on
Thursday nights beginning in
September and then, as the parade
approaches, a Sunday afternoon is
thrown into the schedule. A DVD is
also sent home with dancers so they
can practice on their own.
