A talk with Al Gore

Students meet former vice president, discuss climate change
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Continuing his crusade to raise
awareness about climate change,
former Vice President Al Gore met
with a group of local high school
students to inspire action and note
environmental justice issues for
underprivileged communities.
The teens from Eastside College
Preparatory in East Palo Alto
talked with Gore shortly before he
spoke to a packed theater at
Aragon High School in San Mateo
while touring for his new book,

Power.
Told just minutes earlier that

meet with Gore, the students slow-

about how poorer communities are
affected and what types of short-

to make a difference.

the burglary that spurred a multi-hour man-
hunt and started when a Millbrae woman
realized her home was being broken into
and climbed onto the roof to call police last
week, according to prosecutors.
Four suspects in custody for the crime
pleaded not guilty to their charges and gave
up their right to a speedy trial Friday,
according to prosecutors.

Obituary
Barry L. Young
June 13, 1949 - August 8, 2017
Barry L. Young passed away in Santa Monica, California on
August 8, 2017, surrounded by his family, after a brief illness.
Barry spent much of his youth in San Mateo. He attended
Hillsdale High School and was looking forward to attending
his 50th reunion. He later attended San Francisco State College,
and received his B.A. and Masters in Communications from
Lone Mountain College. He began working in commercial
production in 1980, rst as a line producer and then as a director of national spots for
clients including Ford, Toyota, First Interstate Bank, AT&T, Merck, Marriott Hotels,
Anheuser-Busch, and Pepsi; and PSAs for UNICEF, Drug-Free America Foundation,
and Points of Light Foundation, among others. He also directed the commercials in the
feature lm Crazy People. His awards included International Broadcasting Awards,
Best Spot Promoting Environmental Awareness, U.N. Earth Summit, 1992; Cannes
Lion Awards, Silver Lion for Commercial Film, Isuzu Liar, 1988; Belding Awards
(swept applicable awards categories), also for Isuzu Liar.
In the late 90s, he sustained a serious injury that ended his directing career.
While courageously battling severe chronic pain, he turned to other media, creating
a substantial oeuvre of photography and digital artwork, a screenplay, and a recently
completed spy novel.
His greatest joy was spending time with his family, particularly taking his sons on
adventures in town or around the state. An avid backpacker, he helped lead his sons
Boy Scout troop on expeditions until he could no longer do so. He continued to enjoy
road trips throughout California and the Southwest, often going off the beaten track to
take photographs that he transformed into works of digital art.
Barry was preceded in death by his father, Frank Young. Left with fond memories
of his kindness, humor, vision, and devotion are his wife, Marilyn Tesauro Young;
sons, Nicholas Tesauro Young of Los Angeles and Michael Tesauro Young of Seattle;
mother, Elouise Young, and siblings, Michael Young and Robin (Bruce) Dosskey, all
of Mountain View; extended family; and many friends.

Report says California dam
problems allowed to linger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The owners of some of Californias
most critical dams have allowed problems identified in
annual inspection reports to linger for years, a newspaper
reported Friday.
Unrepaired deficiencies include cracked concrete, rusted
equipment, broken sensors, and frozen valves and gates,
according to a Sacramento Bee investigation.
State officials said the problems are not imminent safety
threats. And dam owners said its best to methodically
research problems and design repairs if theres no emer-
gency.
But experts said seemingly small problems can add up and
eventually cause a crisis.
Outside investigators looking into the cause of a cata-
strophic crater in the spillway at Oroville Dam this year say
a drainage system clogged by tree roots likely contributed.
The problem set off a cascading series of events that
eventually led to the evacuation of nearly 200,000 people
amid fears that uncontrolled flooding would swamp commu-
nities downstream, though the crisis was averted.
The newspaper published its report the same week resi-
dents near Oroville Dam told state water officials that they
cant be trusted when they say small cracks in the rebuilt
Oroville spillway are not a safety risk.
The repeat offenses show the state has to do a better job
of cracking down on dam owners whose facilities dont
measure up, experts said.
Youve obviously got an enforcement problem, said J.
David Rogers, a dam-safety expert at Missouri University
of Science and Technology. The inspections are taking
place, but the mitigation measures, the upkeep and mainte-
nance - there must not be a very severe penalty for not doing
the things....Theres got to be teeth in the system.
The newspaper looked at five years of inspection reports
from 93 dams where state officials ordered a comprehensive
review of spillways after the Oroville incident.
Ninety-one are considered high hazard facilities, mean-
ing a failure could kill people downstream. Every inspec-
tion report reviewed by The Bee pronounced the dams safe
for continued use, even if the same shortcomings were
cited year after year.
The states Division of Safety of Dams has jurisdiction
over 1,249 facilities but does not inspect federal dams,
including Shasta and Folsom dams. Federal inspectors are
conducting their own reviews of dams they oversee follow-
ing the Oroville scare.
Issues that do not present an immediate dam safety con-
cern, and are related to routine maintenance, are given lower
priority and may appear in subsequent inspection reports,
said Erin Mellon, a spokeswoman for the Department of
Water Resources, which oversees the dam safety division.
The Bees review of inspection reports was obtained
through the California Public Records Act.
It found some problems went unaddressed for years. They
ranged in scope from multimillion-dollar repairs to small
jobs that could have been performed quickly by workers
with hand tools.
Patching a spillway is not like patching a sidewalk in
front of your house, said Mark Hutchinson, deputy public
works director in San Luis Obispo County, where it took
four years for officials to pinpoint and fix the cause of a
small leak near Lopez Dam. The project required remote
cameras and specialized concrete mixes.
The documents could contain evidence of even more seri-
ous problems that were impossible to determine because the
state blacked out large portions of inspectors findings, cit-
ing terrorist concerns, before giving them to The
Sacramento Bee.

Fire engulfs San Diego area
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FALLBROOK Retirement communities built on golf
courses, thoroughbreds in race horse stables and other usual-
ly serene sites were engulfed by flames as the San Diego area
became the latest front in Californias wildfire fight.
The fire broke out Thursday amid dry, hot, windy condi-
tions across the region that would be extreme for any season,
but are especially stunning just two weeks from winter.
It exceeded 6 square miles (16 square kilometers) in a mat-
ter of hours and burned dozens of houses as it tore through the
tightly packed Rancho Monserate Country Club community
in the small city of Fallbrook, known for its avocado
orchards and horse ranches.
Three people were burned while escaping the flames and at
least 65 structures were destroyed, according to the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Trees were charred for miles along winding State Route 76
in the community of Bonsall and some houses lay in ruins on
a road not far off the highway. At one home, a goose and a
rooster remained, the latter crowing repeatedly Friday morn-
ing.

Special election announced to fill for Conyers seat
DETROIT Michigans Republican governor announced chairman and his deputy.
Friday that Democrat John Conyers congressional seat

vacant for nearly a year.
Gov. Rick Snyder decided the post will
effectively be listed twice on the Aug. 7
primary and Nov. 6 general election bal-
lots. While unlikely, it is possible vot-
ers could choose one candidate to fill the
vacancy until January 2019 and elect
another to a full two-year term after that.
John Conyers Snyder said he opted against having an
earlier special election to give potential
candidates ample time to decide about running, provide vot-
ers in the predominantly Democratic district more options
and save money.
The 88-year-old Conyers, who was facing a House Ethics
Committee investigation over claims by former staffers,
cited health reasons for his resignation.

Ex-aide: Franks offered $5M to carry his child

By Juliet Linderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A former aide to
Republican Rep. Trent Franks has told the
Associated Press the congressman repeated-
ly pressed her to carry his child, at one
point offering her $5 million to act as a sur-
rogate mother.
The eight-term lawmaker abruptly
resigned Friday, bowing to an ultimatum
from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Ryan told Franks that he would refer the
allegations to the Ethics Committee and
urged him to step aside.
The former staffer said the congressman at
least four times asked if shed be willing to
act as a surrogate in exchange for money.
Franks, in his statement announcing his
resignation, said he and his wife, who have
struggled with infertili-
ty, have twins who were
carried through surroga-
cy.
The former aide said
the conversations took
place in private, some-
times in the congress-
mans car, and that she
Trent Franks repeatedly told him she
wasnt interested. She
said she never led a formal complaint
because until recently she didnt know
where to go, but that his behavior had made
her feel uncomfortable.
The Associated Press veried the identity
of the staffer and conrmed that she worked
in Franks ofce. She asked that her name be
withheld out of concern for her privacy,.
During my time there, I was asked a few
times to look over a contract to carry his
child, and if I would conceive his child, I
would be given $5 million, she said,
adding that she refused to look over the con-
tract and has never seen a copy.
The woman said the requests shocked her,
and made her feel afraid that if she didnt
agree, she would face professional conse-
quences. She said she spoke to another aide
in the ofce, who had also been approached
about surrogacy.
The aide cited the surrogacy requests as a
main reason for leaving the ofce, adding
that she felt retaliated against after turning
down the congressman, ignored by Franks
and not given many assignments.
A spokesman for Franks would not com-
ment on whether the congressman offered
aides money in exchange to act as surro-
gates.
Franks, a staunch conservative, said in
his statement Thursday that he never physi-
cally intimidated, coerced or attempted to
have sexual contact with any member of his
congressional staff.
The surrogacy process typically involves
removing an egg from the mother, fertiliz-
ing it with sperm from the father, then plac-
ing the fertilized egg in the uterus of the sur-
rogate, who carries it to term.
Franks, 60, said he had become familiar
with the surrogacy process in recent years
and became insensitive as to how the dis-
cussion of such an intensely personal topic
might affect others.
He said he regrets that his discussion of
this option and process in the workplace
with two female staffers made them feel
uncomfortable.
Ryan on Thursday said in a statement that
he was briefed on the allegations last week,
and found them to be serious and requiring
action.

Dems mourn Frankens demise Expert confirmed Moores

but see a 2018 election benefit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Members of
both parties are glum and guarded
after a shocking week of resigna-
tions on Capitol Hill. But
Democrats say
the way theyre
handling the
sexual miscon-
duct issue will
give them a valu-
able weapon for
next years con-
gressional elec-
t i o n s .
Al Franken Republicans say
thats just wish-
ful thinking.
No one knows when or where the
allegations that have felled lawmak-
ers, journalists and entertainers will
end. The ax could well fall again in a
Congress where the culture has long
tolerated behavior that would trigger
departures today.
For now, Democrats want voters to
see a very bright line: They forced
the liberal rising star Al Franken and
civil rights veteran Rep. John
Conyers to leave, while Donald
Trump remains president and
Alabama Republican Roy Moore
could well be elected to the Senate
next Tuesday.
Democrats are now in a better
position than ever to tie Donald
Trump and Roy Moore around the
necks of Republicans running for
Congress next year, said Jim
Manley, a Democratic operative and
former Senate aide.
Republicans are quick to contest
that.
They argue that Trump was elected
last year despite the election season
release of a 2005 tape in which he
described sexually offensive behav-
ior, followed by accusations by sev-
eral women of aggressive sexual
misconduct. And they suggest Sen.
Frankens departure was more politi-
cally bearable for Democrats because
his home state of Minnesota has a
Democratic governor who will
appoint the temporary replacement.
Whats important, Democrats say,
is that the contrast heightens their
chances of winning over female and
suburban voters, pumping up donors
and party activists and even recruit-
ing women to run for Congress next
year.
Yes, we may lose some people
that we liked quite a bit along the
way, said Brian Fallon, senior
adviser to the liberal group Priorities
USA. He added, In the long term,
the party is better off doing right by
women.

UK, EU hail Brexit breakthrough, talks to begin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS Britain and the European
Union hailed a breakthrough Friday that allows
them to begin talks on their post-Brexit rela-
tions without answering some key questions
about how their divorce will play out.
With pressure building on British Prime
Minister Theresa Mays fragile government,
the sides agreed on the last sticking point in
Britains divorce terms: the border between EU
member Ireland and the United Kingdoms
Northern Ireland.
They both accepted that the border must
remain open once Britain leaves the bloc in
2019, although they left it unclear how that
would happen in practice. After a hectic night
of phone diplomacy, the Northern Ireland party
blocking a deal and propping up Mays
Conservative government said it was satis-
fied.
Negotiators also reached a broad agreement
on the other divorce terms, which the EU had
required before it would allow the talks to move
on to the weighty questions of future relations,
including trade, which had been keeping busi-
nesses and financial markets on edge.

Still, the first phase is not really over.
Fridays deal seems to simply delay decisions
on some key points, including how to keep the
Irish border open.
Britain is promising to withdraw from the
European tariff-less single market and customs
union while saying there will be no hard border
between Ireland and Northern Ireland
although the former will remain within the EU
single market and the latter in the U.K.
So complex are the issues and couched in
such vague language in Fridays deal that
experts will try to resolve the contradictions in
a separate strand of talks over the 10 months of
negotiating time that remains.
Even the European Commission acknowl-
edged the size of the challenge in a report to EU
leaders that said the wording seems hard to rec-

satisfied, for now.

Separately, Fatahs rival, the Gaza-based
Islamic militant Hamas, called this week for a
third uprising against Israel, but such appeals
have fizzled as Palestinians become more dis-
illusioned with their leaders.
On Friday, demonstrators in the West Bank
torched heaps of tires, sending columns of
thick black smoke rising over the cities of
Ramallah and Bethlehem. Palestinian stone-

NEW YORK Net neutrality is a simple
concept but a dense and often technical issue
that has been argued over for years in tech and
telecom circles. Now everyday folks are talk-
ing about it.
Thats because the Federal Communications
Commission has scheduled a vote next week
to gut Obama-era rules meant to stop broad-
band companies such as Comcast, AT&T and
Verizon from exercising more control over
what people watch and see on the internet.
The protests arent likely to stop the agencys
vote on Thursday, but activists hope the out-
cry will push Congress to intervene and will
show support for stricter regulation down the
road.
Net neutrality has been a hot button before,
thanks to assists from Silicon Valley and TV
host John Oliver speaking out about what
they see as threats to the internet. More
Hollywood celebrities have been joining the
cry against the agencys direction.

By any account, the Bulldogs have had a

And yet Fullerton has been even more impres-

This league is so competitive
and every week is an important

here. Very, very important.
Make no mistake: These are
vastly different teams than the
ones that met in October, when
Derek Carr threw for 417 yards and
three touchdowns and the Raiders
rallied for a 31-30 victory.
The loss was the second straight
for the Chiefs following a 5-0
start, and seemed to deflate the
entire organization.
They rebounded to beat the
Broncos before their current four-
game skid, which has been low-
lighted by losses to the lowly

HOUSTON Tom Savage threw

before the Houston Texans were
once again done in by one of his
turnovers in a loss to the Titans.
The latest error left Savage search-
ing for a way to limit his mistakes
as the Texans (4-8) prepare to host

Now Im being labeled as a fum-

It comes down to just executing

yourself youre not a turnover guy.
Savage gained that label by los-
ing seven fumbles and throwing six
interceptions in just six starts this
season. Ten of those turnovers,
including all of his interceptions,
have come in the past four games
where the Texans have gone 1-3.

Jackson returns to NYC as relaxed Heisman finalist
By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Lamar Jackson gets asked to
do the Heisman Trophy pose a lot.
No matter where he goes, even in bustling
and crowded Times Square, he gets recognized
often. No sooner was Jackson done talking
about the fame that has come from winning
the Heisman last season did a couple of young
fans stop him in a Manhattan hotel to get a
selfie with Louisvilles star quarterback.
Jackson leaned in with a big smile.
Just like last year, Jackson is a Heisman
Trophy finalist. Unlike last year, Jackson is
not expected to win. Oklahoma quarterback
Baker Mayfield is the favorite to take home
the trophy on Saturday night. On Friday,
Jackson, Mayfield and Stanford running back
Bryce Love arrived in the Big Apple on the
tail end of a busy week of bouncing around the
country. The three finalists met with
reporters, posed with the big bronze statue
they are each hoping to win and then headed
back out into the cold toward the subway for a
trip to Wall Street.
The Heisman experience and first trip to
New York blew away Jackson last year.
Winning the trophy changed his life. Now, he
is just enjoying the ride.

Toronto hosts Seattle in MLS Cup rematch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO Toronto FC needs to beat
the defending champion Seattle Sounders to
cap their record-breaking regular season
with an MLS Cup crown.
In a rematch, Toronto will host the
Sounders in Saturdays MLS Cup. Seattle
won last years game in a penalty shootout
after neither team could score in regulation
or 30 minutes of extra time.

Having already gone through the anxiety of
the Heisman Trophy ceremony after winning
in 2016, Louisvilles Lamar Jackson is a lot

of like chill, Jackson said.
Archie Griffin of Ohio State is the only
player to win the Heisman Trophy twice. He
did in 1974 and 75. Since then, eight winners
have returned to try to win it again. Six of
those have been since 2005. The best any
returning Heisman winner has placed in the
voting was second. Oklahoma running back
Billy Sims was the runner-up to Southern
Californias Charles White in 1979.

ing on his home field remains painful for
Toronto striker Jozy Altidore.
It was not great, so its good that we
have a chance to hopefully reverse that feel-
ing, Altidore said.
Led by Altidore, fellow U.S. international
Michael Bradley and 2015 league MVP
Sebastian Giovinco, Toronto set a league
record with 69 points this season. Thats
prised I won it the first time, Sims said.
Tim Tebow of Florida finished third in the
2008 voting, but by point total was the clos-
et to winning a second Heisman. He received
the most first-place votes that year and was
151 points behind winner Sam Bradford of
Oklahoma. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy
finished second.
Jackson probably wont join Griffins
exclusive club, but his numbers suggest he
has been even better this season than last. He
is averaging 411 total yards per game, up from
393 last year. He has been a more accurate
passer, completing 60.4 percent after hitting
56.2 last season.
The difference? Last season, Jackson and
the Cardinals had a signature victory against
Florida State and they lost a thriller at
Clemson. Not until a late November swoon
did Louisville fall out of the playoff race in
2016. This season, the Cardinals lost three
games by midseason. Jackson was playing
well, but many just saw the final results and
held it against him.
Its going to always be on you, Jackson
said. No matter what goes on in the game its
your fault.
Still, the numbers were impossible to
ignore and this November, as other Heisman
contenders such as Saquon Barkley of Penn
State on Dec. 30.

Galaxy. Toronto won 20 of 34 games,
matching the 2014 Sounders for most vic-
tories in the leagues post-shootout era, and
scored 74 goals, tied for the second-highest
total.
Bradley said he and his Toronto team-
mates are all excited that its Seattle again
in the decisive game.

fade, Jacksons candidacy gained momentum.
You see the highlight plays here and
there, Love said. Hes been doing it for two
years now. Its just amazing to see.
Jackson won the Heisman as a sophomore
last year, the youngest winner ever at 19 years
and 338 days.
Id say it was surreal, Jackson said of the
week or so that followed his victory. He felt
like a kid being thrown head first into an adult
world he was not quite ready to handle.
But I still got to go back to college,
Jackson said. It was crazy.
Jackson said he really didnt have much in
the way of advice for Mayfield: I dont know.
Just try not to cry. Last year, Jackson wrote
down some notes to use for a speech, but that
went out the window as soon as he got on
stage.
Jackson said he loves being back in New
York. He gets a kick out of the traffic, the sky-
scrapers and the crowded streets.
Its an adventure here, he said.
As a winner, Jackson gets a Heisman vote.
All he would say is that he voted for all the
finalists.
Conventional wisdom is that Jackson will
declare for the NFL draft after this season, but
he said that decision will come after

Seattle has steamrolled its opponents in
the playoffs after finishing second in the

year, Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan
said. Its two powerhouse teams with fan-

With 14-game skid over, Army eyes second straight win over Navy
By Mike Cranston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA Jeff Monkens second
season at Army in 2015 ended with 10 losses
and a record 14th straight defeat to Navy.
While it pointed to more of the same for a
struggling program, Monken was confident a
West Point turnaround was imminent thanks
to successful recruiting and the number of
close losses.
Monken was proven right. He guided Army

The cadets have fully bought into what hes
doing, Army athletic director Boo Corrigan
said.
Behind their humming triple-option
offense, the Black Knights strung together
six straight wins before a 52-49 loss at North
Texas in their last game Nov. 18. Army has
won 11 of its past 14 games and clinched con-

Warriors beat Pistons for perfect road trip

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Kevin Durant scored 13 of
his 36 points in the third quarter, and the
Golden State Warriors completed an unde-
feated road trip with a 102-98 victory over
the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
The Warriors went 6-0 on this trip, play-
ing the final two games without Stephen
Curry, who is out with a sprained right
ankle. Detroit had a chance to tie it in the
final seconds, but Reggie Jacksons wild
drive to the basket did not lead to a good
shot, and Klay Thompson made two free
throws with 5.3 seconds left for the final
margin.
Golden State went 1 for 12 from 3-point
range in the first half but took control by
Warriors 102, Pistons 98
outscoring Detroit 31-17
in the third quarter.

points.

Pistons, who have lost
five straight. Detroit led
50-46 at halftime.
Golden State led 77-67
Klay Thompson after Quinn Cook made a
3-pointer at the buzzer at the end of the third
quarter. After Detroit cut the deficit to two in
the fourth, Durant missed badly on an open
3-pointer, then fell to the ground well after
releasing the shot. A foul was called on
Detroits Anthony Tolliver, and with the
crowd booing, Durant made all three free
throws for an 87-82 lead.
A 3-pointer by Thompson made it 94-85.
The Pistons scored the next four points and
had the ball when Durant blocked Tollivers
perimeter shot and then dunked on a break-
away at the other end.
The Warriors had 15 blocked shots on the
night.
A 3-pointer by Bradley made it 100-98
with 22. 7 seconds left, and Shaun
Livingston missed two free throws for the
Warriors, but Jackson wasnt able to tie it.
Impressive mark
No NBA team has had a perfect trip of
more than six games. Golden State became
the first to go 6-0 on a trip since the Lakers
in 2009, according to information the
Warriors provided from the Elias Sports
Bureau.

Open Division title in the Central Coast
Section with a rematch victory over Terra
Nova in the Open Division III champi-
onship game.
For two previous seasons, the Cougars
played in the Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division, claiming back-to-back
CCS Division IV titles. With their move up
to the tougher Bay Division this season,
head coach Keith Holden didnt know what
to expect. But after running the table in the
tougher league, the fifth-year coach who
owns a 9-1 postseason record since taking
over the program dared to dream big.
Honestly, our goal was to get in the play-
offs (this year) first off, Holden said. We
wanted to get in and at least win a game in
the Open. And as time went on, we started to
look at things and were kind of a one-
game-at-a-time team but as the season
went on we said, we can do better than win
[one] game.
The Sutter Huskies have a pretty good
winning streak intact in their own right.
Owners of a 12-1 record, the Huskies lost
their first game of the season 34-18 on the
road at Orem-Utah. They have won 12
straight games since capturing Butte
View League and Northern Section titles in
the process while outscoring opponents
586-73 during the streak.
Sutter runs an up-tempo offense helmed by
quarterback Tyler Reynolds. Not only has he
thrown for a high completion rate (154-of-
203, 2,498 yards), he has a shot at becom-
Reynolds to date has carried 105 times for
933 yards. Running backs Trever Facey
(115 carries for 1,607) and Bryce Kunkel
(139 for 1,393), both seniors, have fronted
a Sutter ground attack that has rushed for
5,045 yards in 2017.
The Huskies have gained 7, 568 total
yards of offense this season.
Theyre a good team, Hofmann said.
Theyre a really fast running offense and a
really heavy power offense. They run to the
line of scrimmage for plays and they just
go. So we have to make sure we know our
assignments and we know we have to stop
the run too.
The fans of Sutter located 150 miles
north of Half Moon Bay, just west of Yuba
City are expected to travel well. And with
Half Moon Bay abuzz over the Nor Cal
berth, the Cougars are anticipating many
first-time fans as well. To accommodate the
demand, HMB will bring in 500 temporary
seats for Saturdays game.
For the Cougars though a team that has
outscored opponents 585-132 this season
preparing for the Nor Cal showdown is
business as usual.
Our focus is pretty much the same as
every other game, Hofmann said. This is
just a really big game and the whole team
knows this is a big game. But were prepar-
ing just like we would for any other game.
Not that there isnt an air of anticipation
on the coastside with a trip to the Dec. 16
Division 3-A state championship game on
the line.
I just think everyone is excited, Holden
said. They love football and they love
playing the big games. I think emotionally
and mentally, were in a good spot.

Stanton must sign off on any move given
the full no-trade clause in his record $325 mil-

million in 2018 after the 28-year-old outeld-

RBIs this season.
We had an agreement to acquire Giancarlo
Stanton from the Miami Marlins, subject to
him waiving his no-trade clause, Cardinals

While we are disappointed in his decision,
we will continue to make every effort to
improve our club for the upcoming season.
San Francisco and St. Louis had been con-
sidered among the favorites to acquire
Stanton, whose afnity and ties to Los
Angeles also made the Dodgers a top destina-
tion not to mention their ve straight NL

The eight-year veteran has never played on
a winning team, and Stanton has said he didnt
want to endure another rebuilding of the
Miami roster as Jeter works to cut payroll. On
Thursday, the Marlins traded second baseman
Dee Gordon to Seattle as the Mariners also
acquired $1 million in international bonus
pool allocation to make what was their unsuc-
cessful push for Ohtani.
On Wednesday, Giants general manager
Bobby Evans conrmed on San Franciscos
agship radio station KNBR that the club
reached agreement on a potential trade for
Stanton after team executives gathered with
the outelder and his representatives in a
good meeting last week.
Evans comments came a day after Jeter said
Miami was yet to decide whether to trade
Stanton.
San Francisco, which won World Series
titles in 2010, 12 and 14, is coming off a
surprising last-place nish in the NL West at
64-98 to avoid the clubs rst 100-loss season

sented himself extremely well, Evans said.

OHTANI
Continued from page 11
North America as one of the most coveted free
agents in years.
Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo, issued a
statement Friday announcing the decision
after meeting with several finalists for his
services earlier in the week.
Balelo said the 2016 Japanese MVP felt a
true bond with the Angels. He sees this as the
best environment to develop and reach the
next level and attain his career goals.
After his unusual courtship, Ohtani will
attempt to chart a unique career path as the
majors first regular two-way player in sever-
al decades. Ohtani already has drawn numer-
ous comparisons to Babe Ruth, who excelled
as a hitter and a pitcher early in his Hall of
Fame career.
Ohtani is expected to be both a right-hand-
ed starting pitcher and a left-handed designat-
ed hitter for the Angels, who are expected to
give him ample playing time in both roles.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Many baseball observers have long
assumed Ohtani would choose a higher-pro-
file franchise such as the Yankees or Dodgers,
who would have both welcomed him into
their rotation and lineup. He received serious
attention from Seattle and Texas, who both
could have given him more money than the
Angels.
Ohtani listened to his suitors final pitches
in Los Angeles before choosing the Angels,
who play about 28 miles from downtown LA
in laid-back Orange County. Most of the
Angels live in coastal Newport Beach and
enjoy a comfortable, warm-weather lifestyle
with ample big-market media attention, but
without the withering scrutiny of other top
destinations.
Yet Angels general manager Billy Eppler is
very serious about winning, and he has spent
several years scouting Ohtani, ever since his
previous job with the Yankees.
We are honored Shohei Ohtani has decided
to join the Angels organization, the fran-
chise said in a brief statement. We felt a
unique connectivity with him throughout the
process and are excited he will become an
Angel. This is a special time for Angels fans.

Serra running back Isiah Kendrick attempts to hurdle the
Tulare Union defense in the Padres 76-43 win Friday night in
the CIF Northern California Division 2-AA championship game
in Tulare.

SERRA
Continued from page 11
speedster on Tulare Unions first two possessions, with the
Tribe jumping out to two early leads.
When Tulare (13-1) lined up for its second possession with
the game tied 7-7, Allen broke the first play for a 91-yard bolt.
But, not to be outdone, Serra took over at its own 33 and
Kendrick broke the first play for a 67-yard scoring run to re-up at
14-14.
Then the ability to stop Allen loomed large. The senior fired
right back with another roundhouse swing on the ensuing kick-
off, scooping up a ball at the 2-yard line and nearly taking it for
a score, only to be dragged out of bounds by senior Brendon
Carbullido at the Serra 17-yard line.
Two plays later, Allen fumbled the ball away and the Padres
took the swing of momentum and ran with it.
We talk a lot about the fires that burn and they burn from the
bottom up, Serra head coach Patrick Walsh said. Thats what Youve got to make a play; bounce back, Davis said. And
Carbullido did. It just set the tone tonight. He caught the best
player in California, or maybe the nation, and then they fumbled
the ball and it flipped the entire game.
Serra set a fast-paced, but steady tempo, heading the other
way, marching seven plays for 86 yards. Bottari produced a big
third-down conversion while under pressure, dumping a screen

pass to Kendrick for a 27-yard pickup to the Tulare Union 30. On
the next play, junior running back David Coker got into the act,
bounding off tackle for a tightrope-act 30-yard scoring run to
give the Padres the lead for good.
Coker totaled nine carried for 167 yards and three touchdowns,
adding scores of 49 and 24.
We had to spread the ball around, Walsh said. A lot of play-
ers got touches. A lot of players contributed.
Then, after Serra pushed the lead to 28-14 on a 7-yard Kendrick
score, the Padres defense made another spectacular stop make
that three spectacular stops of Allen on a goal-line stand.
Tulare Union advanced to the Serra 12, then Allen got deep
with a 9-yard carry. From the 3, Tulare Union could have con-
ceivably picked up another first down. But Serra stopped Allen
cold, with linebacker Montez Davis getting in on a swarm with
defensive ends Nick Brown and Nico Rollandi for a no-gainer.
And on third down, Davis dragged Allen down from behind at the
line of scrimmage.
Davis had missed on Allens earlier 91-yard TD run. And he
vowed not to let it happen again.
I just remember in the back of my head, my coach told me,
thats what I did. I just bounced back and got in the backfield
and made a play.
On fourth down, Tulare Union went for it, but Allen got
stopped through the middle for a 2-foot pickup, with the ensuing
measurement coming up just short.
Just a momentum swing, Serra linebacker E.J. Lahlouh said.
Fourth-and-short, something like that. It was just crazy.
Tulare Union did score a safety on the following Serra first-
down from the 2. But the Padres dropped the hammer from there,
with the next Tulare Union drive going nowhere, capped by a
sack from Lahlouh. The linebacker showed up with an inspired
performance both sides of the ball, including a fumble recovery
which he took 63 yards to the house midway through the third
quarter. This after his 6-yard scoring run on the preceding pos-
session.
Serra kept pushing into the fourth quarter, with a Bottari-to-
Nunn 17-yard TD finishing the third to up the lead to 69-36. To
ensure a running clock, though, Serra went for he onside kick
and recovered. Kendrick then opened the fourth quarter with a 10-
yard scoring run, to start the running clock.
The Padres now advance to the CIF Division 2-AA State
Championship Bowl to face Cajon-San Bernardino this Friday
at Sacramento States Hornet Stadium.

Photography has
done a lot for me
By Connor Lin

T
o me, theres nothing more exhilarat-
ing than the rush of adrenaline I feel
whenever I hear the click of my cam-
era shutter.
Portrait photography consists of explor-
ing unfamiliar spaces, meeting new people,
spending hours filling up countless SD cards
and transforming images into stunning
pieces of art in post-production. This is who
I am and what I love.
I love the routine of scheduling a photo-
shoot, getting myself prepared and meeting
friends and other creative people to take pho-
tos. When Im outside
with my camera, I feel at
home. Theres nothing Id
rather be doing than com-
posing the perfect shot.
Toward the end of
eighth-grade, I received
my first DLSR camera as a
birthday present. I have
been shooting portraits
since then, and everything Ive learned has
been self-taught. Each time I shoot, I learn
more about the functions of my camera and
how to manipulate lighting, temperature and
depth of field for future shots. A majority of
my enthusiasm comes from experimenting
with settings to capture the exact shot Im
looking for.
Being behind the camera gives me control.
In the moment, I tend to forget about my
insecurities and fears. I know what Im doing
and I know that Im good at it. Taking photo-
graphs allows me to work on my confidence
because Im able to position my subject in
front of the camera, and compliment them
while shooting to build up their confidence
as well. Theres no limit to what Ill do to
capture the perfect shot, whether it be lying
in the street to shoot from low angles or
standing on the hood of my car to capture a
birds-eye view.
Since I began taking pictures, Ive noticed
a major positive change in my personality.

IF YOU KNEW HER STORY, YOUD

HAVE A STORY TO TELL: BRIGHT
STAR SHINES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
AT THE CURRAN THEATRE IN SAN
FRANCISCO. When successful literary
editor Alice Murphy meets an ambitious
young soldier just home from World War II,
their connection inspires Alice to confront
her past and the secret that can transform
their lives. Starring a marvelous Carmen
Cusack, who received a 2016 Tony Award
nomination for her role as Alice, Bright
Star, from Grammy winners Steve Martin
and Edie Brickell, is a richly drawn blue-
grass musical that nestles comfortably in
the emotional intersection of joy and sor-
row. Two hours and 15 minutes with one
intermission. Tickets are available at sfcur-
ran.com or at the Curran Theatre, 445 Geary
St. in San Francisco. Through Dec. 17.
AN AS IDE: Curran Owner Carole
Shorenstein Hays said, When I first saw
Bright Star, I knew this was a show I wanted
our dear Bay Area audiences to experience
firsthand here at the Curran. Steve Martin
and Edie Brickells musical love letter to
hope and resilience wears its heart right on
its gingham sleeve, and shows us that even
during our darkest moments, the sun is
gonna shine again. A quintessentially
American musical, with a style of music
utterly its own, Bright Star captures the
indefinable, often complicated love shared
between a parent and child. At its core, its a
heart-rending tribute to all the shared
moments of wonder, mystery, sadness and,
above all, joy that make a family what it
is.
ACCES S IB ILITY INFORMATION.
The Curran Theatre offers tickets in strict
accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. As an historic building that
opened in 1922, the Curran is unable to pro-
vide wheelchair access to the upper levels of
the auditorium and, therefore, a number of
accessible seats exceeding the requirement
have been set aside in the Orchestra in rows
N (on the house left side) and U (on the left
and right sides). Patrons may purchase these
tickets online. If there is any question as to
which seats might work best, patrons are
encouraged to call (415) 358-1220. Please
specify accessibility as the topic of the
inquiry and an accessibility expert will
respond. Plus-sized patrons may inquire

freestanding armless seats in the accessible
rows. Those with mobility devices (e.g.
canes, crutches, walkers) will need to check
these items with a staff member to comply

of the performance, or at intermission upon
request, an usher will return the device to the
guest. Fully accessible restrooms are locat-
ed on the lower level of the theater. A lift in
the lobby is available for patrons with

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? In the
1950s, the Curran Theatre was used for the
interior and exterior scenes of a Broadway
theater in the movie All About Eve. The
original main floor interior lobby can be
seen in this film. All the theater scenes
(except for the dressing room interior) were
filmed at the Curran, including one with a
pre-stardom Marilyn Monroe.

Watch on the Rhine has meaning for today

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Lillian Hellman finished writing
Watch on the Rhine in early
1941, shortly after Germany had
invaded Poland and shortly before
the United States entered World
War II.
Its rarely produced, but its
come to Berkeley Repertory
Theatre as what Managing
Director Susan Medak calls utter-
ly of its time even as it has some-
thing meaningful to say about our
current moment in time.
The action is set late May 1940
in the home of Fanny Farrelly
(Caitlin OConnell), a wealthy
widow who lives near
Washington, D.C., and her middle-
aged son, David (Hugh Kennedy),
an attorney.
Shes nervously awaiting the
arrival of her daughter, Sara Muller
(Sarah Agnew), whom she hasnt
seen during the 20 years that she
has lived in Germany with her
German husband, Kurt (Elijah
Alexander). Nor has Fanny seen
their three children.
She has two Romanian house-
guests, the impoverished Count
Teck De Brancovis (Jonathan
Walker) and his American wife,
Marthe (Kate Guentzel) a friend of
the Farrellys. Marthe has never
loved him, but she has fallen in
love with David.
Kurt is an anti-fascist activist,
while Teck is a German conspira-
tor. Clashes are inevitable. In the
end, family ties prevail.
In this co-production with the
Guthrie Theater of Minneapolis,
director Lisa Peterson carefully
orchestrates the action as the char-
acters undergo transformations.
Perhaps the most dramatic change
occurs with Fanny. She starts sar-
castic and autocratic but becomes
empathic and loyal to family
despite the risks.
While the play is absorbing in
its own right, its far more than a
period piece. As Artistic Director
Tony Taccone says in his program
notes, it is a testament to
(Hellmans) nuanced grasp of psy-
chology and her understanding of
American politics.
Running about two and a half
hours with one intermission and a
short pause, Watch on the Rhine
will continue through Jan. 14 in
Berkeley Reps Roda Theatre,
2015 Addison St., Berkeley. For
tickets and information, call (510) PHOTO COURTESY OF KEVIN BERNE/BERKELEY REPERTORY THEATRE
647-2949 or visit James Detmar (Joseph) and Caitlin OConnell (Fanny Farrelly) in Lillian
berkeleyrep.org. Hellmans Watch on the Rhine at Berkeley Rep.

JEDI
Continued from page 19
The Last Jedi, but Johnson says thats
only one element. He stresses that it is,
first and foremost, a Star Wars movie. To
him, that means capturing that thing that
makes you want to run out of the theater
and into your backyard to play with your
spaceship toys even without the curmud-
geonly wit of Harrison Fords Han Solo.
Thats what everyone was concerned
about going in: How do you do it without
him? Johnson, 43, says. I saw so much
potential for humor in it. I was looking at
every single character and trying to find
opportunities to break the tension. I think
people are going to be surprised by how fun
and light on its feet it is.
In addition to Luke and Rey, the film
brings back Carrie Fisher as Leia in her last
film role (Fisher died after filming had
wrapped), Adam Drivers Kylo Ren, fresh off
murdering his father Han Solo, the mysteri-
ous Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis),
Domnhall Gleesons General Hux, the ace
pilot Poe (Oscar Isaac), the ex-
Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) and his
old boss Captain Phasma (Gwendoline
Christie), Chewbacca, the droids and a host
of newcomers, like Laura Derns purple-
haired Vice Admiral Holdo, a maintenance
tech, Rose (Kelly Marie Tran), a hacker
(Benicio Del Toro) and some cute little crea-
tures called Porgs.
His script, which he was able to write
while The Force Awakens was being
made, took some of the cast aback at first.
I was going, Uh, Im not sure about
this, Ridley says. It just took us all a
second to be like, Ok this is where the
story is heading.
Johnson jokes that hes like the new
boyfriend at Thanksgiving dinner who
everyone has to get used to.
(Rian) had a different challenge which
was to expand the Star Wars universe further
with more inventive ideas, taking more
risks, Boyega says. He was a real fan. I
feel like he ticked off his Star Wars fanboy
theories just one by one with this film.
That fandom has also helped Johnson,
who Hamill refers to as his Obi-Wan, reach
a sort of zen-like state with the film. It also
doesnt hurt that Lucasfilm president
Kathleen Kennedy, who has not been afraid
to make tough decisions and fire or bench
directors if something isnt working, was
so pleased with their collaboration and the
resulting film that she has already enlisted
Johnson to develop a new Star Wars trilogy
separate from the Skywalker saga (hell
write and direct the first).
Now its just a matter of putting The Last
Jedi out in the world. Financially, theres
not much to worry about its tracking to
open somewhere in the $200 million range
(far below The Force Awakens $248 mil-
lion debut, but stunning nonetheless). Also
box office and the expectations and hopes
of a loyal fanbase, who have been burned
before, are two very different things.
Having been a Star Wars fan myself for
the past 40 years, I know intimately how
passionate they are about it and how every-
one has stuff they love and hate in every
single movie. That takes the pressure off a
little bit just thinking, Ok, theres going
to be stuff that everyone likes, theres
going to be stuff that people dont like and
its going to be a mixture, Johnson says.
And with a smile and a shrug, he adds:
Thats what being a Star Wars fan is.

FISHER
Continued from page 19
says he missed a lot of Fishers life during the Bryan Lourd
years and when her daughter Billie Lourd was an infant. Thats
why, even before her untimely death last year, he felt especially
grateful to just get to spend time with his friend during the film-
ing of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Id see her periodically during charity events or when there
were Star Wars celebrations and so forth. But this was the first
time where we could really hang and enjoy each other. Even if I
wasnt shooting I was coming in for stunt training and this or
that, hair tests, coming into her trailer and hanging out with her
and (her dog) Gary, Hamill said. There was a comfort level wed
developed over all these years. She knew me. She knew I hadnt
really changed. She knew I wasnt out to get something.
Fisher was apparently beloved by all in the cast, both for who
she was and what the character of Leia meant to them. Her death
at age 60 came after filming had finished and deep into post-pro-
duction, but presented a bit of a conundrum for the filmmakers
who had anticipated Leia being part of the next film too.
The Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson said he ultimate-
ly didnt end up changing anything about her role in this install-
ment, which is the eighth in the Star Wars films about the lives
and adventures of the Skywalker clan. Thatll be something J.J.
Abrams will have to grapple with in Episode IX, in which Fisher
was meant to have a much more prominent role. Fisher made newcomer Kelly Marie Tran realize, How much

But it was Fishers extraordinary persona that was top of mind
of everyone.
Its hard to do it justice, describing the life of someone. Shes

TheatreWorks journeys Around the World in 80 Days
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Versatile acting is on full display
in TheatreWorks Silicon Valleys
production of Around the World in
80 Days.
Directed by Robert Kelley, four of
the casts five actors play an array of
characters of varied ages, sexes and
nationalities as Phileas Fogg
(Jason Kuykendall) undertakes his
epic journey in 1872.
In Mark Browns adaptation of
Jules Vernes novel, the journey
starts with a bet at Foggs club in
London. Newly opened links make
the 80-day feasible, figures the
cool, math-minded Fogg. Hes
joined by his French valet,
Passepartout (Tristan
Cunningham).
Theyre shadowed by Detective
Fix (Michael Gene Sullivan), who
believes that the free-spending
Fogg is the notorious gentleman
bank robber. In India, Fogg and
Passepartout rescue a woman, Aouda
(Ajna Jai), from execution by fire.
She then joins them.
Beset by travails, they travel by
boat, train, elephant and even sail-
driven snow sledge (but not the hot
air balloon seen in the film) on their
way to a happy ending for all con-
cerned.
Cunningham, Sullivan and Jai
play many other characters, but the
most roles go to Ron Campbell, a
master of accents and quick
changes.
These changes by him and his
colleagues are aided by B. Moderns

Adding to the fun are the inven-
tive sets (the elephant is a work of
whimsy in itself) by Joe Ragey.
Although the overall acting is
impressive, one drawback is that
some accents are hard to understand.
Projection could be better at times,
too.
Otherwise, this is a great way to
get into the holiday spirit.

STUDENT
Continued from page 19
In my first couple of years at Carlmont High School, I was
extremely reserved and insecure. An example of my timid
nature would be at school in my journalism class. Even as an
editor, which was a position of authority, I hardly spoke up
unless directly spoken to, interviewing people for articles
made me uneasy, and I tended to keep to myself in the news-
room, editing alone at my desk.
Ive come a long way. Although I may still appear as quiet,
senior year has been a drastic change from any other year Ive
had in high school. I no longer repress my opinions on sub-
ject matter thats important to me, Im eager to meet new peo-
ple and engage in conversation, and I confidently lead my
schools journalism program as the president of the Editorial
Board, a governing body for the entire program. A large reason
for becoming more confident can be accredited to photography
and the time Ive had to practice leading a group and encourag-
ing people to follow my advice during photo sessions.
Not only has photography given me the opportunity to
express myself through art, it has helped me understand what
career paths I want to pursue in the future.
In addition to knowledge of the camera, shooting portraits
involves communication and multitasking skills. While look-
ing through the viewfinder of my camera and adjusting set-
tings, I must direct the subject on how to pose to portray my
vision for each shot. Being able to communicate with others
and multitask are crucial skills used every day in most fields of
study.
As I wrap up my first semester of senior year and the stress of
college applications that are associated with it, I have come to
the realization that my heart lies with both photography and
journalism. Although both are viable career paths, I decided to
major in communications. This degree has the potential of
providing me with a wide range of opportunities.
I am passionate about storytelling. Journalism allows me to
tell a story through words. Photography allows me to tell a
story through the vibrancy of colors, emotions and setting in
a single photo.
For these reasons, I am thankful for everything photography
has done for me. It has become so much more to me than just a
hobby; it has given me a direction regarding possible career
paths and it has shaped me into the confident person I am
today.

first female member of the robotics club her
freshman year, said she appreciated receiving
acknowledgment as semi-finalist for the
national academic award.
Im surprised. I didnt know that this honor
existed, so its sort of cool, said Chan.
She joins Aragon High Schools Arthur Cai,
Avichal Goel, Diana Gong, Frank Liu, Eric
Shen, Meilling Thompson, Michael Wang,
Chris Xiong and Lily Zhou; Capuchino High
Schools Julia Cordero and Niven Jayanthi;
Hillsdale High Schools Jamie Ip and

They join the nearly 16,000 national semi-
finalists vying to become the roughly 7,500
high schoolers who stand to win a share of
$32 million in scholarship money. Winners
will be announced in April.
Liao too expressed gratitude for receiving
such recognition.
I think the only word I would be able to
describe it as is honored. Obviously Ive put
in a lot of work and it is nice to be recognized
for that work, said Liao.
Similar to Chan, Liao is a member of his
schools robotics club and uses the organiza-
tion to drive his passion for engineering,
which he ultimately intends to pursue as a
career.
Always a fan of understanding the way
things worked, Liao said he believes engi-
neering exists in the crosshairs of his passion
as well as a desire to resolve some of the plan-
ets larger looming issues, such as global
warming.
I like looking at problems and finding
ways to solve them, he said.

Considering the creativity required to build
the seniors hectic schedule, Hillsdale High
School Principal Jeff Gilbert said he believes
Liao has the requisite abilities to accomplish
his goals.
He is very humble in the work he does.
Hes well respected by the staff and students. I
just step back and marvel at his ability to
manage all of it and still be a student, Gilbert
said.
Beyond his work as an accomplished stu-
dent and robotics club member, Liao is also a
tennis player, a musician, editor of his school
paper, tutor and part-time computer coder
when he has a free moment.
Gilbert said even if Liao doesnt win the
national merit scholarship, he deserves an
award for time management.
It just feels like Ben does a million things
and does them well and still has time to chat,
said Gilbert.
For his part, Liao said his schedule is sim-

Chan too is the editor of the Mills publica-
tion, and said she finds similar joy in running
a newsroom as she does organizing the robot-
ics club.
Similar to robotics, Chan said she has seen
participation grow at the paper since her
tenure began, further fueling her interest in
collaboration and leadership.
Despite her integral role in helping build
participation through her various fields of
interest, Chan is quick to share her recogni-
tion with fellow club members.
Part of leadership is giving a team purpose
and direction, but ultimately its the members
who make it happen, so Im really grateful for
that too, she said.

JOBS
Continued from page 1
November compared with a year earlier. The
last time unemployment was this low, average
wages were growing at a 4 percent annual rate.
The November jobs data make it a near-cer-
tainty that the Federal Reserve will raise
short-term interest rates for the third time this
year when it meets next week, economists
said.
Last month, job growth was widespread and
particularly strong in manufacturing, which
added 31,000 jobs, and in construction, which
might have reflected, in part, renovation and
repair work in such hurricane-ravaged states as
Texas and Florida.
In November, retailers added nearly 19,000
jobs, a sign that physical stores are hiring for
the holiday shopping season even in the face
of brutal competition from e-commerce com-
panies. Transportation and warehousing com-
panies, which are benefiting from the e-com-
merce boom, added 10,500.
Hiring has slowed slightly since last year,
which is typical when unemployment falls to
low levels. Employers have added an average
of 174,000 a month this year, a bit below last
years monthly average of 187,000.
There are also welcome signs that the recov-
seeing little gains in earlier stages of the
rebound, Kolko said.
Workers with just a high school diploma are
much more likely to have jobs than they were
a year ago. And employees in some of the
lower-paying industries are receiving the
biggest pay gains: Average hourly pay has
risen a healthy 3.8 percent for workers in a
category that includes hotel and restaurant
employees.
In a tight labor market, employers may
look to a wider set of candidates than they
would when unemployment was higher,
Kolko said.
Brian Ernest, who owns a small home reno-
vation and contracting firm in Edgewater,
him keep up with his fast-growing business.
He advertises through the Thumbtack website
and relies on word of mouth among Realtors.
Everything in this area is going great, he
said.
Homeowners are borrowing against retire-
ment funds that are flush from stock market
gains to renovate their homes, Ernest said.
Others are able to obtain home equity lines of
credit and other loans.
Rising confidence among consumers is
translating into major purchases: Americans
are buying more homes and cars. Auto sales
rose 1.3 percent in November compared with
a year earlier, to 1.4 million, according to
Autodata Corp.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald E. Rodoni
Case Number: 17PRO01231
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Donald E. Rodoni. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Jenni-
fer White in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Jennifer
White be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN. 17, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
