Spreading the holiday cheer

Samaritan House toy, clothing distribution benefits thousands
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a reprieve from the year-round

challenge of a raising a family on a
tight budget, the parents of thousands
of disadvantaged children will awake
Christmas morning knowing toys and
new clothes will be waiting for them.
The nonprofit Samaritan House is
hosting its annual holiday toy distribution where nearly 1,200 families
will gather at the San Mateo County
Event Center to shop without worry.
During the three-day event ending

Saturday, families are greeted by festive decorations and dozens of volunteers who will help them pick out toys,
books, socks, warm coats and more
presents that will allow them to save
some money during the typically
stressful holiday season.
Its a really big help for the kids
over the holidays, said Rochelle
Chuc, a Belmont resident who was
picking out gifts for her 2-year-old and
10-year-old daughters
Thursday
evening. It also makes it so the kids
dont realize the financial stress thats

on the parents. It really is a help, its a
blessing.
Chuc, along with other clients from
Samaritan House and numerous other
agencies such as San Mateo Police
Activities League and Community
Overcoming Relationship Abuse, were
preapproved and signed up in advance
to receive the communitys donations.
Last year, they gave away more than
20,000 gifts and this year is one of the

Man given three years of

probation for hate crime
A Millbrae man accused of a
Nov. 9 hate crime was approved
for entry into the Pathways
Mental Health program and sentenced Friday to 90 days in the San
Mateo County Jail and three years
probation, according to prosecutors.
Michael Goggins, who was
arrested for calling another man a
derogatory name before hitting
him in the chest near a Redwood
City gas station, will be monitored by a probation ofcer to
make sure he is taking prescribed
medication and staying at the
Redwood House, a residential mental health care facility, or another
approved location, according to
the San Mateo County District
Attorneys ofce.
Around 11 p. m. Nov. 9,
Goggins, 34, went to the Chevron
gas station at 2215 El Camino
Real, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Goggins then yelled at an
employee Why are you in my
country? and accused him of
being lazy, prosecutors said.
When the employee called
police, responding ofcers found
Goggins at a nearby warehouse on
Laurel Street. Goggins ignored
multiple commands from ofcers
and allegedly tried to bite ofcers
as they were arresting him. After
he was arrested, Goggins talked
about hitting a Mexican and said
aliens were invading the country,
according to prosecutors.
Local briefs
Ofcers took Goggins to a hospital, where he was given a psychological evaluation. Following
his arrest, police were able to
locate another victim. The victim
said Goggins had approached him
and his friend that day as they were
walking on Willow Street, prosecutors said.
Goggins defense attorney was
not immediately available for
comment.
Speed limit
dropping on El Camino
The posted speed limit along El
Camino Real in South San
Francisco is being reduced by 5
mph in an effort to reduce accidents, according to police ofcials.
After conducting a trafc study
in the fall of this year, Caltrans
determined that it would reduce the
speed limit from 40 mph to 35
mph on the road, which runs all
the way through the city, according to South San Francisco
police.
All other cities in San Mateo
County already use a posted 35
mph speed limit on El Camino
Real, according to the police.
Caltrans is already in the
process of replacing the speed
limit signs in South San
Francisco.
We sincerely hope that this
reduction in speed will result in
increased safety with injuries prevented and lives saved, the police
department said in a statement.

Grace Kenmotsu
Resident of Foster City
Grace Kenmotsu of Foster City, California passed away at the

age of 69 on December 7th 2016 after a courageous five-year
battle with cancer. She departed peacefully at home with her two
loving sons by her side.
Grace, born on March 24th, 1947 in Sacramento, California
to Takeshi and Ruby Kawahara, grew up alongside siblings Ed
and Linda in Walnut Grove, California. She graduated from
Courtland High School and CSU Sacramento on a path to
become a lifelong educator. Over the course of her career, she taught junior high home economics
and 3rd grade for a total of 36 years, and tutored for several years concurrently and during
retirement.
Grace was a proud and loving mother above all. She always provided unconditional love,
encouragement, positivity and humor for her sons, Curtis and Derek, and daughter-in-law, Emi.
Dinners together were always filled with stories of her adventures for the day. She visited Derek
four times while he was stationed overseas, drove across the US twice with him, and wrote him
countless letters while he was deployed.
She was instantly loved by everyone whom she encountered and was known to make friends
everywhere she went: at school, the gym, coffee shops, the grocery store, on tours, and the list goes
on. Knowing no strangers, she would spark up conversations with anyone.
Her small stature could not hide the presence and force of life that Grace radiated. Her appetite
for adventure, enduring optimism, and fighting spirit provided everyone who knew her with a
lesson on living a meaningful and fulfilling life regardless of circumstance. She will be profoundly
missed but will live on through her family, friends, and students.

Dangerous wind chills puts

parts of U.S. in deep freeze
By Kathy McCormack
CONCORD, N.H. Low temperatures and high winds have put the
Northeastern U.S. in a deep freeze.
Dangerous wind chills of 20 to 30
below in parts of the region made for
some crippling conditions Friday.
You are talking about 30 degrees
below normal highs. That is pretty
darn cold, said National Weather
Service meteorologist James Brown in
Maine. This is pretty much a piece of
Arctic air that came off the North Pole
and came into New England.
Forecasters said a storm will follow
the frigid weather, bringing chances
for snow, sleet and freezing rain across
much of the country.
Some schools closed early Thursday
and many others delayed opening
Friday to avoid a bone-chilling wait at
the bus stop.
Were not strangers to these sorts
of bitter temperatures on Mount
Washingtons summit, senior weather
observer Mike Carmon said in the
weather observatorys blog at the
highest peak in the Northeast.
However, over the last few winters,
its generally late January or February
before we experience this sort of polar
air outbreak.
The wind chill was down to 85-below
at the summit early Friday.

UCLA spokeswoman

Kendall said Friday the university and
UCLA Health medical center are developing contingency plans for the Jan

On Thursday, the union representing
some 600 skilled-trade workers at
UCLA voted to strike, saying the

Storm hits state, chopper saves homeless, dogs

LOS ANGELES A pre-winter storm

drenched California with rain and
dumped nearly three feet of snow to help
bolster the vital Sierra Nevada snowpack but also triggered mud flows, street
flooding and the dramatic rescue Friday
of two homeless women and 10 dogs
from a river island near Los Angeles.
With thousands of acres of wildfire
burn scars all over the state, authorities
were warily monitoring barren slopes
where parched earth soaked with rain
can cause life-threatening mudslides.
Mud from the San Gabriel Mountains
flowed into the foothill city of Duarte
east of Los Angeles before dawn, affecting 18 homes where residents were told
to not to leave, KCBS-TV reported.
Firefighters rescued two people stuck in

cars.
A helicopter was sent Friday morning
to a homeless encampment on the small
island in the San Gabriel River, where it
hovered in rain between power lines as
the two women, six puppies and four
adult dogs were hoisted to safety.
When the Los Angeles County sheriffs air rescue crew arrived, one of the
women was on top of a shelter and the
other was standing knee-deep in water,
said Deputy Brice Stella, a tactical
medic.
Stella hoisted one woman up but the
other wanted to stay because she feared
her dogs would be left behind. Stella
convinced her to go into the helicopter
by saying hed do his best to rescue the
dogs.

Redwood City man
charged with attempted murder
A Redwood City man was charged with attempted murder
and for threatening to take the life of another person after
stabbing his roommate several times on Wednesday night,
according to the San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
Oseas Garciadiaz, 52, allegedly got into an argument with
his roommate, one of the victims, after drinking several
beers. The two allegedly fought over which one knew
Guatemala, where both of them are from, better.
Garciadiazs roommate decided to end the argument and go
to bed. When he came out of his bedroom, Garciadiaz was
allegedly standing outside with a kitchen knife, according
to prosecutors.
He allegedly lunged at the victim with the knife, who
dodged his initial attempt to stab him. Garciadiaz then
allegedly chased the victim around the apartment, saying he
was going to kill him, according to prosecutors.
Garciadiaz allegedly managed to hold the victim against a
wall and attempted to stab the victim again. The victim was
able to block this attempt, and grabbed for the door, which
was locked. Garciadiaz allegedly pushed the knife into the
victims back, causing a non-life-threatening wound, and
swung the knife at the victims neck, causing superficial
wounds, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said the victim was begging for his life when
Garciadiazs son returned home. The son grabbed his father,
allowing the victim to escape from the apartment.
The victim texted a friend explaining the situation, who
called police and came to the apartment. Garciadiaz threatened to kill the friend as well. Police arrived on the scene
and arrested Garciadiaz. A bloody knife was found in the
kitchen drawer of the apartment, according to prosecutors.
A defense attorney was appointed from the private defender program. Garciadiaz will appear in court on Dec. 27 for
entry of plea. He remains in custody on $500,000 bail,
prosecutors said.
Man convicted of
molestation receives 30 years to life
A San Mateo man convicted of five molestation charges
was sentenced by a San Mateo County judge to 30 years to
life in prison Friday, according to the District Attorneys
Office.
In June, a jury convicted Melfido Valdez-Orozco of the
charges for assaulting a friends daughter repeatedly while
he lived with the family for nine months, prosecutors said
previously.
Valdez-Orozco, 28, lived with the family from April 2013
until his arrest in February 2014, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
During that time, he repeatedly molested the girl. She was
6 years old when the molestation started and turned 7 during
the period he was living with the family, prosecutors said.
The girls mother noticed her acting strangely and being
in pain and she told her mother what happened. Her mother
called police and he admitted the molestation after his
arrest, according to prosecutors.
Valdez-Orozcos defense sought a new trial, which was
denied. He is required to serve 85 percent of his sentence
before he is eligible for parole. Valdez-Orozcos defense
attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.

Obama signs bill for Flint water, California drought
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama signed a bill
Friday authorizing water projects across the country,
including $170 million to address lead in
the drinking water in Flint, Michigan,
and $558 million to provide relief to
drought-stricken California.
Obama said the bill advances vital
projects across the country to restore
watersheds, improve flood control and
rebuild water infrastructure including
pipes in Flint, where residents have
Barack Obama struggled with lead-tainted water for
more than two years.
The bill also approves a series of projects in California
that Obama said will help assure that California is more
resilient in the face of growing water demands and droughtbased uncertainty.
Congress approved the $10 billion measure last week,
despite complaints from some Democrats that it was a giveaway to California farmers and businesses.
The extended drought has devastated Californias abundant farmland and forced families to cut back on water consumption. In the past two years, 35,000 people have lost
jobs, 1 million acres of farm land have gone fallow and
2,400 private water wells have gone dry, while more than
100 million trees on federal land have died.

North Carolina GOP strips some

of Democratic governors power
By Gary D. Robinson
and Meg Kinnard
RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina

Republicans stripped the incoming
Democratic governor of some of his
authority on Friday and they were on
the cusp of an even greater power grab,
an extraordinary move that critics said
flies in the face of voters.
Just last week, it appeared
Republicans were ready to finally
accept Democrats narrow win in a contentious governors race. As it turns
out, they werent done fighting. In a
surprise special session in the dying
days of the old administration, some
say the Republican-dominated legislature has thrown the government into
total disarray, approving two bills
aimed at emasculating incoming Gov.
Roy Coopers administration. One of
them was signed into law by the current governor.
Cooper, the current attorney general, has threatened to sue. And many in
the state are accusing Republicans of
letting sour grapes over losing the
governors mansion turn into a legislative coup.
This was a pure power grab, said
retired school librarian Carolyn
White, 62, a long-time demonstrator
once arrested as part of the Moral
Monday protests against GOP-led
legislative policies. I got arrested

This was a pure power grab. ...

Carolyn White, retired school librarian
ence? No. But just like the civil rights

movement, its forward together. You
just have to keep going forward.
The protesters were so loud that
Senate and House cleared the galleries
a highly unusual move. More than
50 people were arrested this week, and
as demonstrators were led away from
the Legislative Building, some chanted all political power comes from the
people. Those that remained behind
could only watch the debate through
glass windows or listen to it online.
Hundreds stomped their feet and
yelled outside the gallery, causing several Republican lawmakers to note
they were having trouble hearing during the debate. Democrats repeatedly
stated their objections.
The kindergartners are getting
rowdy, said Republican Rep. Dana
Bumgardner.
He said Democrats were creating out
of thin air a talking point for the next
election.
Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who
lost to Cooper by about 10,000 votes,
quickly signed into law a bill that

Uber says it will keep self-driving cars in S.F.

By Justin Pritchard
LOS ANGELES Ubers selfdriving cars will keep ferrying

passengers around San Francisco,
the ride-hailing company said
Friday, despite California regulators threatening legal action if the
service is not suspended.
Uber began the pilot project
Wednesday with a few Volvo SUVs
that are tricked out with a suite of
sensors allowing them to steer,
brake and accelerate. A person sits
behind the wheel, just in case.
The California Department of
Motor Vehicles condemned the
launch, demanding the company
pull the cars unless the state grants
a special permit.
San Franciscos mayor sided
with regulators. But showing the

level of interest in the technology, the mayor of Beverly Hills on
Friday voiced his support for Uber
testing without the state permit.
Officials with Uber and the state
have talked several times this
week in what the leader of the companys self-driving program
described as frank conversations. Anthony Levandowskis
comments in a Friday conference
call with reporters show that Uber
is not swayed .
State lawyers insist that Ubers
cars are autonomous vehicles
that require a permit to ply public
roads.
Levandowski said he respectfully disagrees, arguing Uber does
not need the permit that 20 other
companies testing the technology
in California have gotten because
it has backup drivers behind the

wheel monitoring the cars. That
means the Volvos are not
autonomous vehicles under the
states definition, he said.
Levandowski
likened
the
Volvos abilities to those of Tesla
cars that have the Autopilot feature
allowing them to keep their lane,
brake and accelerate without a person touching the wheel. He wondered why the thousands of Teslas
on California roads dont need a
permit if Ubers cars do.
State officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday. In a letter Wednesday,
the DMV wrote, If Uber does not
confirm immediately that it will
stop its launch and seek a testing
permit, DMV will initiate legal
action, without elaborating on
what that might entail.

Hillsdale erases 29-point, second-half deficit; South City wins in OT

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South City and Hillsdale girls basketball learned the same lesson during the
Warriors 63-56 win over the Knights in a
non-league game Friday afternoon: a team
has to put together four quarters of basketball to win games.
Both teams played only a halfs worth of
quality basketball, so the game was eventually decided in overtime, where South City
outscored Hillsdale 9-2 to pull out the victory.
When we got to overtime and scored the
first basket, I think that set the tone, said
South City guard Brittney Cedeno, who finished with a game-high 28 points.
This was no ordinary overtime game, however. In the first half, it appeared South City
(7-1 overall) had set the tone by blitzing
Hillsdale (3-4) in the first two quarters, taking a 39-13 lead at halftime.
Early in the third, the Warriors stretched
their lead to 29 points, 45-16, before
Hillsdale staged a comeback for the ages.
The Knights outscored South City 17-6 over
the final 6:09 of the third quarter to cut their
deficit to 18, 51-33, going into the final
quarter.
Over the final eight minutes, the Knights
went on 21-3 run, tying the score at 54 when
Raichel Tjan banked in a 3-pointer with 38
seconds left in regulation.
It was the sixth straight 3 Tjan converted
in the second half and her seventh for the
game as she finished with a team-high 27
points.
It was just one of those games, Tjan said.
On the game-tying 3, Tjan knew her shot
was off, but had a feeling it might still go in.
It was definitely off (target), Tjan said.
But I thought, You know, it might go in
because Ive had these kind of games
before.

LSUs Fournette ending collegiate career

USA TODAY SPORTS
One of the nations top running backs,

Leonard Fournette, a junior, was hampered
by an ankle injury most of the season. He will
skip LSUs bowl game and enter the NFL draft
this spring.
BATON ROUGE, La. LSU running back

Leonard Fournette will sit out the 19th-ranked
Tigers matchup with No. 15 Louisville in the
Citrus Bowl, a decision that ends his highlightfilled collegiate career.
Fournette portrayed the decision to rest his
injured ankle as a mutual one made in consultation with coach Ed Orgeron. The junior will be
eligible to enter this springs NFL draft, during
which he is expected to be among the top players selected.
Im not a quitter at all. I tried to play through
the injury as best as I could, Fournette said.
Its a hurtful feeling knowing that we had the
season that we had and I didnt get the opportunity to play to my full potential.
Struggling with an injury nagging him since
August, Fournette rushed for 843 yards and eight
touchdowns in seven games this season.
The Tigers, who entered the season ranked
fifth and with national title aspirations, split
their first four games, after which coach Les
Miles was fired. Orgeron, who initially took
over on an interim basis, gained the permanent
head coaching title after going 5-2, with both

loses coming in close contests to No. 1
Alabama and No. 20 Florida the teams that
played in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Fournettes 119.7 yards rushing per game
ranks first in LSU history, as do his five 200yard rushing games and his single-season rushing total of 1,953 yards in 2015. In a victory
over Mississippi this season, Fournette rushed
for a 284 yards on just 16 carries, highlighted
by touchdown runs of 78, 76 and 59 yards. His
yardage total from that game also stood as a
school record until Derrius Guice rushed for 285
yards on 37 carries in the Tigers regular-season
finale at Texas A&M.
I had my ups and downs as far as my last two
years, but I wouldnt trade it for the world,
Fournette said. It made me who I am today.
Orgeron said LSU was fortunate that
Fournette, arguably the most coveted recruit in
the nation coming out of high school in New
Orleans, chose to play in and for his home state
when he could have gone anywhere.
We are grateful for all the years that Leonard
gave us, all the great memories, all the great
games, Orgeron said. Leonard was a great

teammate ... He was a joy to coach.
We know this is a tough decision for
Leonard, but he has a bright future ahead,
Orgeron added. He will always be one of the
greatest players in LSU football history.
When healthy, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound
Fournette attacks defenses with a rare combination of power, speed and agility, staggering
defenders at times with explosive cutbacks and
at others by lowering his broad shoulders. From
the moment he arrived on campus, it was a virtual certainty that he would leave for the NFL
draft after his junior season. He inferred as much
when hed periodically mention his commitment to support his young daughter.
The only question left before Friday was
whether hed suit up for LSUs bowl game.
Fournette thanked LSU and his coaches for
not letting me play, but added that he planned
to continue to support his teammates through
the Citrus Bowl and travel with the team for the
game.
This is best for my future, Fournette said.
Louisville assistant suspended after Wake Forest probe

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Louisville has suspended Lonnie Galloway for the Citrus Bowl
following a review of how the co-offensive
coordinator handled Wake Forest game plans
he received from fired Demon Deacons broadcaster Tommy Elrod.
Athletic director Tom Jurich announced
Galloways suspension Friday after reviewing the assistant coachs receipt and handling of inside information from Elrod.
Jurich said in a release that information
shouldnt have been shared by Wake Forest
and it should not have been received by anyone at the University of Louisville.
We did not do what should have been
done, Jurich said, noting that Louisville did
not seek the information.
The AD said he regrets what happened and
that the right and ethical thing would have
been for us not to accept the information.
Jurich, who said he has been in contact with
the Atlantic Coast Conference, said the
The right and ethical thing would have

been for us not to accept the information.
Tom Jurich, Louisville athletic director
school would accept any appropriate decisions from Commissioner John Swofford.
Jurich also reiterated that head coach
Bobby Petrino has been firm in asserting
he didnt know about information being provided.
No. 15 Louisville (9-3) plays No. 19 LSU
(7-4) in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31 in
Orlando, Florida.
Galloway was in his first season as
Louisvilles co-coordinator and coaching
receivers. He and Elrod were assistants at
Wake Forest together from 2011-12. His suspension was the latest update in the scandal
that has garnered national attention.
Louisville, Virginia Tech and Army are the
only schools to publicly confirm their
involvement in the scandal in which Wake
Forest determined that Elrod leaked or

attempted to leak game plan information to
opponents. Elrod was fired from his job as
the analyst on the Demon Deacons radio
game broadcasts.
Officials at Indiana also said Friday that
their school was not implicated in Wake
Forests investigation, after conducting one
of their own to confirm that finding. Indiana
played Wake Forest in each of the past two
seasons.
Wake Forest officials have said theyve
contacted every school potentially involved
in the scandal, and Indiana athletic director
Fred Glass said Wake Forest AD Ron Wellman
told him the Hoosiers were not on that list.
The ACC has promised to do its due diligence in reviewing Wake Forests findings,

and league spokeswoman Amy Yakola did not

respond Friday to a request for comment on
that review.
Elrods attorney, former Wake Forest player James Quander, has not commented since
the schools review was announced on
Tuesday and Elrod has not returned phone
calls or text messages seeking comment.
Wake Forest began its review after documents related to its game plan for the
Louisville game on Nov. 12 were discovered
at the Cardinals stadium.
Coach Dave Clawson revealed four days
later that the review had begun into the security of his program but did not accuse
Louisville of taking the information.
The school announced its findings Tuesday
night, absolving the current football staff
and players and pinning the blame solely on
Elrod a former player in the 1990s and
assistant coach under Jim Grobe who went

One of MMAs most popular fighters set to retire

By Michael Wagaman
SACRAMENTO As he prepares for the final fight of his

career, UFC bantamweight Urijah
Faber is still wrestling with his
emotions.
On one hand, hes fully prepared
to step away from the sport that
has made him wealthy and a household name in the MMA world.
On the other, the 37-year-old
Faber is unflinchingly confident
that he can still get it done inside
the octagon that has been his
home away from home for more
than two decades.
I know for sure when I walk out
to the cage its going to be a different type of feeling, Faber told the
Associated Press this week. I really believe that, because of everything thats going on, in my
hometown, my last fight. It is
going to be a little bittersweet
because I know I can still compete
at the highest level and Im still all
there.
By all there, Faber means he is
physically fine after 43 professional matches in the now-defunct
World Extreme Cagefighting and
UFC.
Along the way, Faber became
highly popular with fans for his
grit, charming smile, playful personality and a willingness to fight

whoever was put in front of him.
That he never won a UFC title is
merely a blip on Fabers otherwise
stellar career.
This is a very rough way to
make a living, Faber said. It
goes without saying that there are
trials and tribulations with being a
professional fighter.
Faber has been through it all,
from refusing to quit after breaking
both of his hands early in one
fight to his three classic bouts
with current UFC bantamweight
champ Dominick Cruz, including
their title fight at UFC 199 in
June.
It was Faber, the California Kid,
who brought attention to the lower
weight classes in MMA at a time
when media and fans were focused
almost solely on the middleweights and heavyweights.
Though he didnt make much
money initially $200 to show
up, $200 to win, Faber said the
Sacramento native was a big draw
because fans were taken in by his
style inside the octagon and his
charm outside of it.
Not much has changed over his
13-year career. Faber (33-10) is
almost certain to receive a thunderous response from the crowd at
Sports briefs
Baseball Hall of Famer Rod Carew
has heart, kidney transplant
LOS ANGELES Baseball Hall of Famer
Rod Carew has undergone successful heart
and kidney transplant surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
The Minnesota Twins said Friday that the
procedure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in
Los Angeles lasted 13 hours and that Carew
is resting in recovery.
The 71-year-old former Twins and
California Angels star had a heart attack in
September 2015 and shortly thereafter had a
left ventricular assist device implanted in
his heart, which was a temporary fix to keep
his heart going.
Carew played from 1967 to 1985. He was
a seven-time American League batting
champion and first-ballot selection to the
Hall of Fame.
Sacramentos Urijah Faber developed into one of the most respected and
most recognizable faces in the sport of MMA.
GoldenOne Center when he walks
to the cage to face Brad Pickett
(26-12) on Saturday.
The Faber-Pickett fight is on the
undercard on the nationally televised show. The main event is a
bout featuring strawweight contenders Paige VanZant - a Faber disciple ranked No. 8 in her division and Michelle Waterson.
Its those walks down the aisle
and through the crowd that Faber
says he will miss the most.
Princeton suspends mens

swim team over offensive materials
PRINCETON, N.J. Princeton University
has suspended the rest of the mens swimming
and diving teams season after school administrators discovered that members had posted
vulgar and offensive material on the teams
electronic mailing list.
A statement released by Princeton on
Thursday did not disclose specifics but said the
misogynistic and racist comments involved
the womens swimming and diving team.
The suspension comes after an anonymous
complaint alerted university officials to several
materials, including the school-sponsored team
mailing list and other electronic correspondence.
The suspension is the third for an Ivy League
team since November. Harvard University suspended its mens soccer team and some members of Columbia Universitys wrestling team
were suspended for similar behavior last month.
The walks are the thing that you

didnt expect coming into this and
didnt imagine, Faber said. That
walk is a very unique time when
everybody is focusing their energy
on you, its about you and thousands of people watching. Ill miss
that.
Faber acknowledged the decision
to retire was difficult but one that
was made easier because of his
other interests. He has invested in

The university will decide whether to cancel

the season completely.
Princeton has meets scheduled Jan. 7 against
Navy and Feb. 5 against Yale. The Ivy League
championships are scheduled for later in
February.
At Harvard last month, the mens soccer season was canceled after a demeaning scouting
report on the womens team was circulated
online. A 2012 document uncovered by The
Harvard Crimson student newspaper rated the
attractiveness of recruits on the womens team
and included lewd comments about them.
Some members of Columbia Universitys
wrestling team were suspended from competing
over apparent lewd and racially insensitive text
messages. Some messages disparaged female
students, expressed hope that someone would
be sexually assaulted at a campus event, used
anti-gay terms and slurred black people, including while discussing the deadly police shooting
of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.
ness and has a family construction

company to keep him busy.
Without a doubt, if I had no
other means or confidence to survive without fighting I would
probably drag it out another
decade, he said. Some of my
peers have done that. They did a
great job but for me I feel like I can
focus my time and energy and
maintain my health in the next
phase.
Its not as if Faber is leaving the
MMA world entirely. Earlier this
year he opened an Ultimate Fitness
gym in Sacramento, a 22,000square-foot facility that houses
Fabers crew of fighters, Team
Alpha Male.
Faber plans to continue coaching and mentoring the young
fighters. He also hasnt closed the
door on a possible return to the
ring himself, although it would
have to be under the right conditions.
Im very able-bodied and ableminded so I would never rule that
out, Faber said. But its a if-youdont-use-it-you-lose-it kind of
deal. Im curious how my desire
will be to have a hard workout. Ive
done that for years. There are times
when you love it and times when
its a grind. Im curious how Ill
feel.
Coach cleared of charges

he failed to report child sex abuse
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. A former
Tennessee high school basketball coach has
been cleared of charges of failing to report child
sexual abuse after a freshman player was assaulted by older teammates.
Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don
Poole ruled Friday that the case against Andre
Montgomery of Ooltewah High School should
be dismissed. Montgomery was indicted in May
on four counts of failing to report child sexual
abuse.
Poole said when a victim is 13-17 years old,
the Tennessee statute that Montgomery was
accused of violating applies only to cases in
which the attacker is a parent or someone who
lives in the same household as the victim.
The case stemmed from a Dec. 22 incident.
Police said a freshman was assaulted with a pool
cue by teammates in an apparent hazing incident.

With time still left, South City tried to

Six MLB teams

to pay luxury tax
NEW YORK A record six teams are paying baseballs luxury tax this season, led by
the Los Angeles Dodgers at $31.8 million
and the New York Yankees at $27.4 million.
Boston ($4.5 million), Detroit ($4 million), San Francisco ($3.4 million) and the
World Series champion Chicago Cubs ($2.96
million) also were sent bills Friday by the
commissioners office, according to information obtained by The Associated Press.
The Yankees are paying for the 14th
straight year since the tax began, raising
their total to $325 million. New York has
said it hopes to get below the threshold by
2018.
Los Angeles owes for the fourth consecutive year and like New York pays at a 50 percent rate on the amount above the $189 million threshold. The Dodgers paid a record $43
million for 2015, and their four-year total is
$113 million.
Boston and San Francisco pay at a 30 percent rate as offenders for the second straight
year, and Detroit and the Cubs a first-time
payer are at 17.5 percent.
The number of teams over the threshold
topped last years mark of four. This years
total tax was $74 million.
Major League Baseball negotiated the luxury tax in an effort to slow spending by largemarket clubs and combined with revenue
sharing has helped increase the competitive
of small-market teams and those in the middle.
The threshold increases to $195 million
next year under the new labor contract, and
tax rates go up, too. There will be additional
surtaxes, raising the rate to as much as 95
percent for the amount above $235 million,
with the increase to be phased in for 2017 at
the midpoint between the old and new rules.

good of a quarterback as you have
right now in the NFL.
The Falcons offense has strong
balance. Devonta Freeman and
Tevin Coleman each have seven
rushing touchdowns. Ryan has
thrown scoring passes to 11 targets, including to Justin Hardy and
Taylor Gabriel last week.
Theyre probably the most
complete offense that weve faced
all year, ONeil said. So itll be a
challenge. Were going to have to
play really good football.
It was a confidence-building
week for the Falcons.
I think its always hard anytime
you have your top two wide
receivers down, Ryan said. Its
tough to replace that. Our guys
stepped up great.
Here are some things to watch as
the Falcons face the 49ers:
No fumbles
Freeman and Coleman have no
RAIDERS
48-21 Super Bowl loss to Tampa
Bay on Jan. 26, 2003.
In their second year under coach
Jack Del Rio, they finally have
their first winning record since
2002.
The Chargers, meanwhile, are in
dismal decline, heading toward
missing the playoffs for the sixth
time in seven seasons, and maybe
headed toward a new home in Los
Angeles.
There have been games in the
past few years in which the
Chargers have felt as if they were
the road team in their own stadium.
Anticipating a pro-Raiders crowd
Sunday, the Chargers practiced
Wednesday with piped-in crowd
noise, which they usually do only
in preparation for road games.
Chargers quarterback Philip
Rivers, coming off a five-turnover
performance in a loss at Carolina,
couldnt recall the team doing that
before.
Its just being aware of what its
going to be like, said Rivers, who
leads the NFL with 17 interceptions.
Asked if he had a guess at the percentage of Raiders fans vs.
Chargers fans will be, he said:
Well find out. I have no expectations.
Some things to look for in what
could be the last time this rivalry
dating to the birth of the AFL in
1960 is played in San Diego:
Stadium sagas
Raiders owner Mark Davis says
hes committed to moving the
team to Las Vegas, where a $1.9
billion stadium project has been
fumbles in their combined 269

carries and 62 receptions. Freeman
leads the team with 791 yards
rushing. Coleman has 328 yards
rushing.
I have a ton of respect for them
and the fact they havent fumbled
the ball this year, thats incredible, left tackle Jake Matthews
said. That goes to show you how
hard theyve been working at it. In
my mindset, that means you just
keep giving them opportunities to
make plays. Theyre really special
players.
Fast starts, slow finishes

Starting fast hasnt been a problem for the Niners, who have
scored first in 10 of their 13
games. The problem has been San
Francisco lost nine of those,
tying the NFL record for most
losses when scoring first, according to Pro Football Reference.
The Niners blew their third 14point lead of the season last week
to the Jets.
Qua r t e r b a c k
C o l i n

been a big part
of the problem.

percentage (71. 7)
and yards per attempt (9.4) in the
first half, while ranking last at
42.9 percent completions and 4.6

worst with a 61.3 rating the rest of
the game.
If there was one thing we could
do that we could change it, we
would, Kaepernick said. There
are a lot of things that play into
that. But, once again, we have to

Davis has from
the end of the
Raiders season
until Feb. 15 to
apply for relocation.
Mark Davis
Chargers
chairman Dean Spanos, son of
owner Alex Spanos, appears to be
leaning toward moving to Los
Angeles and eventually joining the
Rams in a stadium in Inglewood
scheduled to open in 2019.
Spanos efforts to land a large public subsidy to replace Qualcomm
Stadium have failed. He angered the
fan base last year with a failed
attempt to move to Carson and
share a stadium with the archrival
Raiders.
Spanos has said he wont
announce a decision until after the
season. The Chargers run in San
Diego could end with their season
finale on New Years Day.
Restart the Carr

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr
will try to bounce back from perhaps the worst game of his career.
Carr went 17 for 41 for 117 yards
in the 21-13 loss to the Chiefs,
posting a career-low 49.1 rating.
Carr has his second-lowest completion percentage in a game and
set a worst with 2.85 yards per
attempt. Carr has won his past
three starts against the Chargers
with six TD passes, two INTs and a
98.8 rating.
It was just execution, Carr
said. It was literally inches. There
were a whole bunch of plays I think
about that we always hit that for
whatever reason, sometimes it was
good feet and the route was good,
and we just missed by an inch.
be able to be better in the second

half.
Beasleys breakout
Atlanta
second-year
linebacker/defensive end Vic Beasley
continued his breakout season
with three sacks last week. He has
13 1/2 sacks to share the NFL lead
with Denvers Von Miller. Beasley
leads the league with six forced
fumbles, including one against the
Rams he returned 21 yards for a
touchdown.
Buckners boost
One of the rare bright spots for
San Francisco has been the play of
first-round defensive lineman
DeForest Buckner. Buckner had
two sacks against the Jets.
Buckner has played the third-most
defensive snaps of any defensive
lineman in the league this season
and has missed just six defensive
plays the past five games, according to Pro Football Focus.
Theres just no way you can
take that guy out and theres no
way he wants to be out, ONeil
said.
Run and Hyde

Carlos Hyde is coming off the
best day of his career, having
rushed 193 yards on just 17 carries
last
week
against
the
Jets. Hyde had
four runs of at
least 20 yards,
including 47and 43-yarders,
and also caught
a 7-yard touchpass.
Carlos Hyde down
Hyde needs just
121 yards over the final three
games for his first career 1,000yard season.
Sometimes that happens in practice and you never want it to happen in games.
Sack streak
Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack
is on quite a roll when it comes to
getting the quarterback. Mack has
sacks in eight straight games,
tying the franchise record set by
L a n c e
Johnstone in
1998. The previous NFL player with a sack in
nine straight
was
Dwight
Freeney, who
did it in 200809. Mack leads
Khalil Mack
the NFL with
nine sacks overall during the
streak. Mack has also managed to
get the ball out when he records a
sack with forced fumbles in three
straight games and five of the past
six.
Run to daylight
After being held to 86 yards on
the ground during two wins against
Houston and Carolina, the Raiders
have found their running game in
recent weeks. Oakland has rushed
for 274 yards the past two games,
led by Latavius Murray, who ran for
185 yards and three TDs in those
games. Murray has run for 12 TDs
already this season, tied for third
most in franchise history, behind
Marcus Allens 13 in 1984 and Pete
Banaszaks 16 in 1975.
Chargers woes
Running back Melvin Gordon is
expected to miss the game with a
hip injury, and cornerback
Brandon Flowers went on seasonending injured reserve with a concussion.

OBAMA
motive to the meddling or to discuss now
what effect it might have had. U.S. intelligence assessments say it was aimed at least
in part on helping Donald Trump defeat
Hillary Clinton, and some Democrats say it
may well have tipped the results in his favor.
Though Obama avoided criticizing
President-elect Trump by name, he called out
Republicans who he said fail even now to
acknowledge the seriousness of Russias
involvement in U.S. elections.
Obama expressed bewilderment about GOP
lawmakers and voters who now say they
approve of Putin, and he said unless that
changes the U.S. will be vulnerable to foreign influence.
Ronald Reagan would roll over in his
grave, Obama said as he closed out the year
at a White House news conference. Afterward
he left for the familys annual vacation in
Hawaii.
Obama declined to state explicitly that

Seth Schalet, a San Mateo resident who
runs the program, said the initiative focuses
on early learners in an effort to offer treatment before a vision problem threatens to
derail a young students ability to learn.
Many of the kids we serve come from
challenged or low-income backgrounds, so
the deck is stacked against them in many
respects, and some may not have a doctor,
said Schalet, COO of Prevent Blindness
Northern California, the programs parent
agency. So what we do is get at the preventative side, because a majority of early
vision issues are correctable with early
intervention.

Dec. 14, in Redwood City to offer examinations for those in the child care center at

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Putin knew about the email hacking that

roiled the presidential race, but he left no
doubt who he felt was responsible. He said
that not much happens in Russia without
Vladimir Putin and repeated a U.S. intelligence assessment that this happened at the
highest levels of the Russian government.
Obama said he confronted Putin in
September, telling the former KGB chief to
cut it out. That was one month before the
U.S. publicly pointed the finger at Russia.
Suggesting his directive to Putin had been
effective, Obama said the U.S. did not see
further tampering after that date.
The president has promised a proportional yet unspecified response to the
hacking of the Democratic Party and
Clintons campaign chairman. Emails
stolen during the campaign were released in
the final weeks by WikiLeaks. On Friday,
CIA Director John Brennan said in a message to employees that the FBI agrees with
the CIAs conclusion that Russias goal was
to help Trump win.
Trump has dismissed the CIAs assessment
and talk about Russian hacking as ridiculous, while arguing both Democrats and the
CIA are trying to undermine the legitimacy
of his victory. He made no mention of the

hacking or of Obama during the latest
stop on his thank you tour in Orlando,
Florida, Friday night.
Clinton has even more directly cited
Russian interference. She said Thursday
night, Vladimir Putin himself directed the
covert cyberattacks against our electoral
system, against our democracy, apparently
because he has a personal beef against me.
The Senate intelligence committee said
Friday that it will conduct a bipartisan
investigation and hold hearings about what
led the intelligence agencies finding. The
committee will follow the intelligence
wherever it leads, said chairman Sen.
Richard Burr, R-N.C.
At the same time, Rep. Devin Nunes, RCalif., chairman of the House intelligence
committee, complained that his committees
oversight into the hacking has been stymied
because the intelligence agencies have not
provided information to the committee.
Obama said hed leave it to political pundits to debate the question of whether the
hacking swayed the election outcome. He
did, however, chide the media for that he
called an obsession with the emails that
were made public during the elections final

stretch.
He said his reticence to detail publicly the
U.S. response to Russia reflected a need to
retaliate in a thoughtful, methodical way.
The idea that somehow public shaming is
gonna be effective, I think doesnt read the
thought process in Russia very well,
Obama said.
Accusations of Russian election interference have heightened the already tense relationship between Washington and Moscow.
Separately, Obama has blamed Russia for
standing in the way of international efforts
to stop the civil war in Syria, where government forces have beaten back rebels in
Aleppo.
Obama said he feels responsible for
some of the suffering in Syria, but he defended his decision to avoid significant military
action there. He said that while military
options short of invasion were tempting, it
was impossible to do this on the cheap.
Still, he pinned the bulk of the blame on
Russia, as well as Iran, for propping up
Syrian President Bashar Assad.
This blood and these atrocities are on
their hands, he said.
Selby Lane Elementary School and the vehicle was scheduled to make stops later in the
week at John Gill Elementary School. In
all, Schalet said about 900 Redwood City
students stand to receive examinations from
See Well to Learn.
Each student is offered a free eye screening
and those who prove to need additional
examination are accompanied with a parent
for a meeting with an expert, who does additional testing. Should the student need eyeglasses, a free pair can be provided by See
Well to Learn, and those with severe issues
not correctable by glasses can be connected
to an optometrist.
Schalet said he expects the organization
will serve about 9,000 students throughout
the Bay Area this year, and approximately
1,800 of them will be from San Mateo
County. More than 42,000 students have
been offered care since 2012.
It is very rewarding, said Schalet. I can
show you letters from parents or teachers
who claim they have seen immediate

changes in a child. It is very enriching
because the parents are so grateful for something so simple.
Schalet said nearly 40 percent of his
budget is generated through grant funding
offered by the Sequoia Healthcare District,
and the rest comes from foundation support
or individual donors. His team is comprised
of about 23 people 13 full timers and the
rest are interim staffers, including five
optometrists who offer their services periodically.
Vision care for underprivileged local communities is especially important as many of
the students are Latino, who traditionally
have higher rates of refractive errors, which
are the conditions causing nearsightedness
or farsightedness, said Schalet.
As a substantial amount of the young students who rely on the eye center do not
speak English at home, Schalet said they
are already at a competitive disadvantage
against their fellow classmates in catching

up to their grade level. Vision issues can further compound those struggles, but early
identification treatment can be means of
reducing the learning threats facing students, he said.
Offering care at a school site is also
important to the communities served by the
initiative because many families may not be
able to get their kids to a medical center for
vision screening, especially during work
hours.
We want to reduce the barrier to access,
because these are low-income constituents, he said. We want to knock the
barriers down, so we go right into the
schools.
In all, Schalet said he believes the care
offered can be an integral means of helping
those who most need assistance.
This can really change their trajectory,
he said. So we really want to get it at early
intervention and prevention.
heart to their great community so they like

to give, said Samaritan House CEO Bart
Charlow. I think people also recognize the
enormous income inequality and the squeeze
its putting on so many of our families that
have lived here for many many years.
San Mateo resident Alondra Mares
returned for a third year to collect presents
and clothes for her 4-year-old son and 9year-old daughter. As volunteers wrapped
the gifts she had picked out, Mares spoke
about how the holiday program would
enable her to focus on paying the $300
monthly rent increase shed just received.
Its been really helpful to save money,
Mares said.
She was also having fun interacting with

other attendees, noting her caseworker and
Samaritan House volunteers were extremely
kind. She remarked on how surprising it was
to see all of the brand-new clothes and jackets being distributed, adding even if she
spends a little bit on cheaper items for her
children, they will still be given Christmas
morning with all my heart.
As financial pressures rise during the holidays and many low-income families strive
to shelter their children from recognizing
their struggles, Charlow said the nonprofit
plays an important role by helping cover a
variety of costs where it can.
These services are really designed to
help defray all of the expenses we can for

these families as we help them put their
lives back together and get back on their
feet, Charlow said. If they dont have
money to spend on toys, this way theyre
getting that and coats for the whole family,
and they dont spend that money they would
have needed for rent.
Samaritan House is continuing to accept
donations with a specific need for large toy s
for girls, new coats for children and teens,
$25 gift cards to local stores such as Target
or monetary donations the nonprofit will
use to purchase items. Visit samaritanhousesanmateo.org for more information.

Seeing things in
a different way
By Cindy Zhang
At first, they reach out in friendship.

Claire brings food over to Howards apartment; Whit tries to have a heart-to-heart
with his friend. When those attempts fail,
though, they resort to more devious means.
They decide to spy on their boss and prey on
his grief-ridden instability. If they can
prove Howard has become incompetent,
they can override his authority.
They hire a detective, who finds that
Howard has been sending letters addressed
to Love, Time and Death. So his colleagues
decide to trick him by hiring actors to play
human apparitions of those concepts who
will respond to Howard in person. By filming these encounters and editing out the
actors, Whit, Claire and Simon will have
evidence of Howards incompetence.
There are no consequences for this unbelievably heartless act in Allan Loebs
ust about a month ago, I decided that

it was time to pick up my glasses
from the eye doctor. Between my
hectic schedule and sheer forgetfulness, I
had dilly-dallied for nearly half a year without picking up my glasses.
But there was more than that. Part of my
reluctance stemmed from
the fact that I had never
had glasses before. There
I was, a 17-year-old high
school senior, getting
glasses for the first time
in my life. Everyone I
knew with glasses or
contacts had grown up
with them; indeed, new
glasses were common occurrences in elementary school, the topic of conversation
for days when bouncy balls and Magic
Treehouse chapter books just werent exciting enough. So it was an odd feeling, to
say the least, when the eye doctor handed
me a prescription.
I deliberated carefully, examining each of
the different glasses on display, trying
them on (not once, and also not twice) in
front of the mirror. Heeding my younger
sisters advice, I eventually settled on a
simple frame that gave me as my sister
put it a kind of nerdy and intellectual
look, but in a good way.
I liked the glasses I had chosen, but I was
still nervous when the optometrists office
called, informing me that my glasses were
ready to take home. I had become so accustomed to a face without glasses it has
been 17 years, after all that it was
uncomfortable (and a tiny bit frightening)
to imagine changing that up by adding a
pair of glasses.
Nevertheless, while driving home several
weeks ago, I realized the ridiculousness of
getting a pair of prescription glasses and
never using them, and made a quick detour
to the optometrist to (finally) bring home
my purple-rimmed frames.
Although I still havent gotten into the
habit of wearing my glasses regularly, I am
steadily becoming more and more comfort-

Will Smith and Helen Mirren star in Collateral Beauty.
Oscar-caliber cast cannot

elevate Collateral Beauty
By Sandy Cohen
With its cast of Oscar-caliber actors and

pervasive theme of loss, Collateral
Beauty should have been a deeply moving
tear-jerker. Instead, it comes off as a melodramatic contrivance.
Its unfortunate not just because its a
waste of an incredibly talented ensemble,
but because the film has a worthy goal:
highlighting the human need for connection by exploring universal concepts of
love, death and time. But it undermines
itself by mixing in greedy manipulation, a
forced magical element and a painfully precious ending that makes any meaningful
message evaporate before the closing credits roll.
Will Smith is Howard, the once-gregarious leader of a big, successful advertising
firm. Hes charismatic and inspirational,

plying his staff with such platitudes as We
are here to connect and Life is about people. He tells them that everyone on Earth is
motivated by the longing for love, the wish
for more time and the fear of death.
But Howard withdraws into depression and
isolation after his young daughter dies.
Instead of leading his company, he spends
his working hours silently building and collapsing domino towers. When hes not at
work, he despondently rides his bike into
New York City traffic and sits alone in a bare
apartment.
This, of course, is bad for the bottom line,
which is the main concern for Howards
closest colleagues, Whit (Edward Norton),
Claire (Kate Winslet) and Simon (Michael
Pena). Because Howard is the companys
main shareholder, the other three cant make
moves without him.
Ingenious 946: The Amazing Story

of Adolphus Tips comes to Berkeley
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The wonderfully inventive Emma Rice and

her Kneehigh company of Cornwall have
brought their 946: The Amazing Story of
Adolphus Tips from England to Berkeley
Repertory Theatre for its American premiere.
She and Michael Morpurgo have adapted it
from a story by Morpurgo set in the English
village of Slapton during World War II.
In part, its the story of a 12-year-old girl,
Lily (Katy Owen), and her cat, Tips.
Its also the story of two black American
soldiers, played by Ncuti Gatwa and Nandi
Bhebhe, who befriend Lily while stationed

in her village when the U.S. military is still
segregated.
Finally, it relates a little-known tragedy
of the war. The Americans were in the seaside village to rehearse the D-Day assault on
Normandy, requiring the entire village to
leave.
However, due to an unfortunate mix of circumstances, the American landing craft were
attacked by Nazi ships, resulting in the loss
of 946 lives.

Happy Falalala-llamakkah: Holidays have a new face

such selfish sneakiness jibe with idea

And though Howard is grief-stricken, nothing about his character suggests hed be so gullible, especially

Black Mirror, This Is Us and

Westworld among years best

Barry,written by Adam Mansbach, has bits pulled from Barack

Obamas memoir Dreams From My Father, but large parts of
it are invented, as are some characters.
In Barry, a young Barack

Obama, long before hope
By Jake Coyle
Not since young Abe have the early formations of an

American president inspired as much moviemaking as
Barack Obamas early life.
Vikram Ghandis Barry, a snapshot of Obama as a college student, is the second of the year, following Richard
Tannes Southside With You, a presidential rom-com
about Obamas first date with Michelle. These films may be
just the start of the wave of Obama nostalgia to soon wash
over the country (or at least approximately half of it). But
the pleasant surprise is that both are fairly good, thoughtful films. The odds of this happening, while Obama is still
in office, even Nate Silver might struggle to compute.
Barry is set in 1981 New York and Southside With You
takes place in 1989 Chicago, but they have much in common. Both are framed as Obama prequels but use him as a
prism through which to investigate race in America. They
each delight in the novelty of a more human-sized version
of the POTUS-to-be: smoking cigarettes, cursing and
grooving to 80s tunes. And both give a sense of a unique
mind beginning taking shape. In Southside we see him
reading Toni Morrison and watching Spike Lees Do the
Right Thing; in Barry its Invisible Man and Black
Orpheus.
In Barry, his destiny is further away. Hes a little more
Prince Hal. In early scenes, Obama (an excellent Devon
Terrell) argues politics and Plato with young Reaganites at
Columbia, but his interest in civic life hasnt yet manifested. Politics, he tells his girlfriend Charlotte (Anya TaylorJoy), are useless. Come on, the presidents an actor, he
says. Later, while strolling arm-in-arm with his mom
(Ashley Judd), he talks about fleeing society and becoming
a monk. Hope is a long way off.
Your politics are cute, says Charlotte, a wealthy white
girl from Connecticut.
To a certain extent, Barry shares the same superficial
infatuation with a bachelor Obama. The film, written by
Adam Mansbach, has bits pulled from Obamas memoir
Dreams From My Father, but large parts of it are invented, as are some characters.

NEW YORK In this era of socalled Peak TV, the tally of scripted

And then the unavoidable truth: Joe is

growing up in rural England whose
striking differences from other kids
ignite the question: What constitutes

hand to craft a series that blends a pair
of young musical strivers from a downtrodden urban neighborhood while
keeping the series touching, relatable

takes refuge in either irony, absurdity,
outrageousness or mawkishness, creator-star-writer Donald Glover has
pulled off a minor miracle with this

gritty little show that blazes its own
path, strewn with setbacks yet powered by hope. A fresh take on the hiphop world, Atlanta never strikes a
false note.

Axelrod for financial fraud, while the
smooth, ever-calculating Axelrod
(Damian Lewis) dares him to try.
Adding to the spice is a third corner of
this triangle: Rhoades wife and Axes

result is a wealth of intrigue.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Philharmonic presents pleasing performance

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Fans of the Redwood Symphony should

consider attending the Palo Alto
Philharmonic as well. Last Saturdays
Philharmonic concert at Cubberley Theatre
was especially appropriate for a tryout, as
Redwoods music director, Eric Kujawsky,
was guest conductor.
The Philharmonic does well enough on
its own, under its regular director Thomas
Shoebotham, but Kujawsky brought his
own brand of verve, and his distinctive skill
at conducting non-professional orchestras,
to a program of energetic and mostly cheerful music.
The program was framed with two densely-packed powerhouse works, Emmanuel
Chabriers tone poem Espaa and Ludwig
van Beethovens Symphony No. 8.
Chabrier, one of many French composers
inspired by the music found south of his
countrys border, captured the rhythm and
flair of Spanish folk dances. Beethovens
Eighth is the briefest of his mature symphonies and the most compressed, a fierce
little monster full of jokes and rude surprises.
Theyre both very

loud. In the Cubberley
Theatre that attracts more
attention than it would
elsewhere. This auditorium has a large stage but
an unusually small audience seating area. Theres
room enough for a full
Eric Kujawsky orchestra but nowhere
for the sound to go
except bounce around the audience, flooding ears with its immensity.
Such overwhelming music needs good
performances, and mostly it had that.
Intonation was largely close to the target,
and ensemble often very good. Some of the
more complex sections could become
rhythmically sluggish but, in the fast
straightaways, the rhythmic pulse always
had the indefinable bounce that kept the
music humming with energy. The orchestra
was impressively responsive to Kujawskys
tempo changes in the Chabrier. Tempos in
the Beethoven were fast but not breakneck.
Only in the finale did the orchestra have difficulty by trying to play faster than they
could keep up.
Both these were fun to hear. The real star
of the program, though,

was
Shostakovichs
Piano Concerto No. 2.
This immensely attractive
work,
often
Romantic in character, is
less often heard than the
spikier, more jazzy No.
1. Audiences may, however, be familiar with the
Louise
Costigan-Kerns first movement, which
appears verbatim as the
music for the Steadfast Tin Soldier
sequence of the Disney movie Fantasia
2000.
Louise Costigan-Kerns was the soloist.
She played the busy figurations calmly and
evenly, with a distinctly soft tone, even in
the most emphatic passages. In the outer
movements, this contrasted startlingly
with the wind choir, which was crisp and
percussive. These players brought out the
jaunty military quality which had led
Disney to select this music as appropriate
for a soldiers story.
The combination of piano and orchestra
worked best in the Andante, which is
accompanied by strings only. The style
here, often compared to Rachmaninoff but
softer and gentler than his work, fit

Costigan-Kerns pianism and brought out
the best playing from the strings, particularly the violins. Timing coordination
between piano and orchestra was also at its
best here.
The programs remaining work was by
Alfred Schnittke, an eccentric 20th-century
Russian of German ancestry. His pieces
title, (K)ein Sommernachtstraum, might
render in English as (Not) A Midsummer
Nights Dream. Having nothing to do with
Shakespeare, this music begins as an elegant 18th-century pastiche that then goes
bananas. This leaves the listener to a nonprofessional performance in doubt as to
whether the orchestra is playing badly or
the music is supposed to sound that way.
Judging by the rest of the concert, I suspect
mostly the latter.
In the Philharmonics next program, on
Feb. 18, music director Thomas
Shoebotham will not only conduct, he will
play the solo part in Camille Saint-Sans
Cello Concerto No. 1. The previous week,
on Feb. 11, turnabout will be fair play as
Shoebotham conducts Kujawskys orchestra, the Redwood Symphony, in Richard
Strauss Alpine Symphony.
Aussie star of Place to Call Home set sights on Hollywood

By Lynn Elber
LOS ANGELES Australian actors and

Hollywood tend toward mutual admiration,
with the gangbuster careers of Cate

So its understandable that Marta

has decided to give America a try. Or a second try, to be accurate. She briefly came
here as a novice actor two decades ago, but
Marta
Dusseldorp
couldnt afford to pursue

and found the LA industry challenging for a
young outsider.
It was incredibly

conducive to family life.

hopes her next U.S. foray might be different. Among her calling cards: The successful TV dramas A Place to Call Home,
"Janet King and Jack Irish, all on the
air this year in Australia.
A Place to Call Home, available on
streaming service Acorn, is building to its
season-four finale to be released on

Christmas Day. The intricate, 1950s-set
family saga has been dubbed the Aussie
Downton Abbey, for those who need a
nudge to binge-watch the previous seasons
and catch up.
Dusseldorp is another reason, an actress
whose intelligent, nuanced performances
are matched by her finely etched beauty.
(Cheekbones to die for? Check.) She veers
skillfully from a steely prosecutor (Janet
King) to an intrepid journalist (Jack
Irish) to a nurse with a troubled past.

FOOD
orders and wait at small tables with an
amalgam of benches and chairs. The
small space is filled with rough-hewn
pieces of wooden furniture that looks
like it was taken from a farm on the
French countryside. Cuisinetts look,
feel and tastes go against what many
think of when they think of French
restaurants, which is exactly Rabys
objective.
A native of Lille, France, Raby first
came to the United States in 2001,
intending to stay only a year but ultimately staying here to study marketing
and finance at San Francisco State
University.
When I did market research, I became
tired of the stereotypes people had of
French restaurants, he said. [That] is
one style, but we also have everyday
food.
Raby, who worked at San Francisco
restaurants to support his studies, never
shook this thought, or his growing
interest in the restaurant business. He
drafted marketing campaigns and business plans for restaurants. After he graduated, he worked to insure restaurants
and lease restaurant equipment to owners.
Finally, he decided it was time to
break the negative stereotypes for
French restaurants himself. He began
meeting with local chefs to discuss his
concept to introduce local diners to
French food in a casual, affordable way.
Everyone said, theres no way thats
going to work, he said.
SHOWS
ries and major setbacks in a halting
but dogged pursuit of justice.
The Night Of (HBO). This dark
and irresistible murder mystery stars
John Turturro as near-bottom-feeding
lawyer John Stone who stumbles on a
righteous case: Naz, a PakistaniAmerican college student implicated
as the killer of an alluring young
woman who, after a chance encounter
with him one Friday night, brought
him to her bedroom. Never mind if Naz
did the crime (viewers dont find out
until the end) the legal system is
stacked against him at every turn, and
through the lengthy, often dismaying
process, Stone fights on his behalf.
Though a scripted drama, The Night
Of is part of a new breed of law-andorder storytelling that also spawned
Making a Murderer as well as O.J.:
Made in America.
O.J.: Made in America (ESPN).
Arriving two decades after O. J.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Rabys idea sat at a standstill until he
met Guillaume Bienaime, then the executive chef at Marche, a French restaurant
in Menlo Park. Bienaime was enthusiastic about the idea, and excited to use creativity in creating authentic, affordable
dishes that would invite in newcomers.
Together, the two developed a main
menu that features favorites like
Cuisinetts roasted chicken, which diners can pair with one of seven sauce
options and five sides.
If you want, it can be a different dish
every time you come in, said Raby.
Perhaps most beloved sauce to pair
with the roasted chicken is the coq aux
vin, a red-wine-based sauce that evokes
hearty vegetable and chicken flavors.
Raby and Bienaime adapted the French
stew coq au vin, which traditionally
uses stock made from a rooster and several seasonal ingredients. With the
knowledge that traditional coq au vin
ingredients may be difficult to source in
California, the two adapted the stew
recipe into a popular sauce made with
local ingredients.
Raby makes sure that each diners
restaurant experience is just as inviting
as his menu. Diners who enter the bright
restaurant, edged by the warm wooden
tones of the furniture, are greeted by
friendly wait staff or Raby himself, who
says most of his customers are regulars.
Servers appear within minutes with
their orders, offering diners a quick,
convenient dining experience with
dishes that taste homemade.
And it seems like Raby has found the
perfect location for the casual style of
dining Cuisinett offers.
We chose San Carlos because it is
a young town, he said. Its cool,
and there are a lot of couples with
kids, he said.
Raby, 36, lives in Redwood Shores
with his wife and 5-year-old twin sons.
He can relate to working couples looking for an affordable weeknight dinner
or parents who are looking for a place
where theres something on the menu
for everyone.
Were not a good first date spot, and
we dont do well with large groups, he
said. Ninety-five percent of my customers are regulars, and weve even seen
some of the customers grow up with the
restaurant.
Rabys regulars are professionals
from nearby office buildings during
lunch, and local couples and families
during dinner. Though his menu includes
a kids burger and grilled cheese for
younger diners, Raby often sees parents
introducing their children to new foods
at his restaurant.
We created the menu in the French
way. In France, most kids eat what the
adults eat, he said.
Shai Attia is a San Francisco resident
who comes to San Carlos often for business meetings. He has been one of
Rabys regular customers since the
restaurant opened in 2011, and comes
weekly. He orders a nioise salad every
time.
Next to a plate of crusty bread and
olive oil, his salad is loaded. On top of
mixed greens rests seared tuna, a diced
boiled egg and an assortment of colorful
vegetables.
Its the best nioise salad in the
whole world, he said.
Attia says the salad is what drew him
in, but companionship with Raby is
what keeps him coming back.
Hes a hard-working person, he
said, young like me.
Simpson was acquitted of murder

charges for the death of his ex-wife
and her friend, this five-part documentary series covers those ghastly slayings and the so-called Trial of the
Century in you-aint-seen-nothingyet detail. But it goes even further,
framing Simpsons life and career
against the racial turmoil and Civil
Rights struggle from which he was
largely insulated by the warm embrace
of celebrity and the white mainstream.
Packed
with
never-before-seen
footage, unreported details and neverheard insights, its a project that
might have been dismissed as a truecrime rehash. Instead, its not only
illuminating but often jaw-dropping.
This Is Us (NBC). It isnt often
that a scripted TV series can be credited with being humanistic at
least, not a show you can sit through
without grinding your teeth. And yet
this gentle ensemble drama is pulling
it off, and viewers are loving it. Here
is that rare series that is neither aspirational nor derisive in how its characters are portrayed, but instead
reflects its viewers at their most
goodwilled and, well, humanistic. The
intersecting sets of everyday characters are depicted by a cast including

Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and
Sterling K. Brown in a display of middle-class diversity that serves as a
welcome rebuttal to this polarized
age. Come to think of it, maybe This
Is Us shows us what to aspire to,
after all.
Westworld (HBO). This odyssey
is simultaneously set in an imagined
sci-fi future and the reimagined Old
West in the form of an epic theme park
where lifelike robots indulge every
appetite of paying guests. What measure of depravity does this unleash in
the humans who treat themselves to
this dude ranch gone wild? And what
measure of upheaval is triggered when
the robots rebel? The series visuals
both its western splendor and its
futuristic labs are spellbinding and
seemingly as boundless as its thematic sprawl. Its ensemble (which
includes Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris,
Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton
and Jeffrey Wright) populates an anything-goes getaway with aplomb and
shock value: Who or what are
the heroes here?

Aleppo evacuation halted

as both sides trade blame
By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT Diplomats sought to salvage

the evacuation of eastern Aleppo after it
stalled Friday amid recriminations by both
sides in Syrias civil war, raising fears the
cease-fire could collapse with thousands
still desperate to escape the rebel enclave.
The Aleppo evacuation was suspended
after a report of shooting at a crossing
point into the enclave. The Syrian government pulled out its buses that since
Thursday had been ferrying out people from
the ancient city that has suffered under
intense bombardment, fierce battles and a
prolonged siege.
The carnage in Syria remains a gaping
hole in the global conscience, said U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Aleppo is
now a synonym for hell.
The halt also appeared to be linked to a
separate deal to remove thousands of people
from the government-held Shiite villages
of Foua and Kfarya that are under siege by
the rebels. The Syrian government says
those evacuations and the one in eastern
Aleppo must be done simultaneously, but
the rebels say theres no connection.

The foreign minister of Turkey, a main
backer of the rebels, said he was talking to
his counterpart in Iran, a top ally of the
Syrian government, to try to resume the
evacuation.
A closed emergency meeting of the U.N.
Security Council was held on the crisis in
Aleppo, discussing a French proposal to
have independent monitors oversee the
evacuation of civilians and fighters. The
council meeting ended with diplomats saying they would convene again this weekend.
The cease-fire and evacuation marked the

Chinese leaders pledge stable currency, less financial risk

By Joe McDonald
BEIJING Chinas leaders pledged

Friday to keep its currency stable and trim
bloated heavy industry as they wrapped up
an annual planning meeting amid pressure
from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and
European leaders over trade.
Responding to concern about possible
threats from rapidly rising debt, the official

Xinhua News Agency said leaders at the
three-day meeting also promised to reduce
financial risks.
The reports suggested President Xi
Jinpings government plans no significant
changes despite calls by reform advocates to
move faster on pledges to make the worlds
second-largest economy more productive by
giving market forces a bigger role.
There was no indication of concessions to

pressure from Washington and Europe,
which complain Beijing blocks access to its
markets in violation of its free-trade commitments. Foreign companies complain
Chinese regulators are trying to squeeze
them out of technology and other promising
industries.
Trump, who takes office in January, has
vowed to press Beijing for action by impos-
ing 45 percent tariffs on Chinese goods.

Few economists expect him to go that far
but any sanctions could hurt Chinese export
industries that support millions of jobs.
The Economic Work Conference, attended
by Xi and other Communist Party leaders, is
a throwback to Chinas era of central planning but still plays a key role in directing
development of the state-dominated economy.
