Law targets party buses
Legislator aims to close loophole related to underage drinking

Party buses and underage drink-

existing law to make operators
responsible for underage drinking in
their vehicles.
Assembly Bill 45, the Brett
Studebaker Law, will require party

under 21 to sign an agreement not to
drink just like limousine drivers cur-

Holiday shoppers sprint

NEW YORK — Holiday shoppers are

The figure, released by ShopperTrak

retail revenue.

Family of killed bicyclist STORAGE UNIT FIRE

files wrongful death suit
By Dan McMenamin
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The family of a woman fatally
struck by a big-rig while riding her
bicycle in unincorporated Portola
Valley last month has filed a wrongful
death lawsuit in San Mateo County
Superior Court against the driver and
the trucking company he works for.
Lauren Ward was riding her bicycle
west on Alpine Road near Highway
280 at about 3:40 p.m. on Nov. 4 when
she was hit by an 18-wheeler and got
trapped under the big-rig, according to
the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP released a report Monday
that found the driver of the big-rig,
Gabriel Manzur Vera, was not at fault
in the case, but noted he had also been
involved in two prior collisions that
ended in fatalities. He was not found at
fault in either of those cases too.
A separate investigative team, hired
by Ward’s family and the San
Francisco-based law firm Rouda,
Feder, Tietjen & McGuinn, disagrees
with the report’s finding, according to
lawyer John Feder.
As a result, Feder filed the suit later
Monday on behalf of Ward’s husband
and two children against Vera and
Randazzo Enterprises Inc., the
Castroville-based company that owns
the big-rig.
“While the CHP was conducting its
investigation, we brought in scientists
and other experts to evaluate the cir-
cumstances surrounding Lauren’s
tragic death, and the team disagrees
with the CHP’s conclusions as to the
cause,” Feder said in a statement.
The family “would like a jury to
hear the evidence and decide,” he said.
Officials with Randazzo Enterprises
were not immediately available for
comment.

the crash is encouraged to contact the

Local Brief
Officials close beaches
due to water contamination
Unsafe levels of bacteria detected at
four beaches in San Mateo County
this week have prompted health offi-
cials to order temporary closures.
Heavy rain over the weekend
caused sewer pipes to overflow and
push wastewater into the ocean near
Pacifica and the Bay near San Mateo,
according to the San Mateo County
Health System.
Weekly tests conducted at ocean
beaches and bay lagoons revealed
unsafe contamination levels of E. coli
or coliform bacteria in the near-shore
waters, prompting closures at Linda
Mar Beach, Rockaway Beach,
Lakeshore Park and Aquatic Park.
Surfers, swimmers or anyone com-
ing into contact with the water at the
closed beaches is at risk of getting
sick, officials said.
The beaches will be reopened when
future testing shows bacteria levels
have returned to levels safe enough
for recreational contact.

Activision targets
EA in huge lawsuit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Activision
Blizzard Inc., the video game maker
behind the smash-hit shooter “Call of
Duty: Black Ops,” on Tuesday added
a new target in its lawsuit against two
former executives: rival Electronic
Arts Inc. Activision also put a price
tag on its claim for the first time, seek-
ing $400 million.
The amended complaint filed in the
Los Angeles Superior Court is the lat-
est salvo in a legal shootout that began
when Jason West and Vince Zampella
sued Activision for $36 million in
March, claiming Activision fired them
to avoid paying royalties for their
work on the “Call of Duty” franchise.
Activision, owned by France’s
Vivendi SA, claims EA lured the men
away, starting as early as July 2009,
despite their having two years left on
their contract, in part by using talent
agency Creative Artists Agency as an
intermediary. It alleges EA dispatched
a private jet to Southern California to
shuttle West and Zampella to a secret
meeting at the home of EA’s chief
executive John Riccitiello near San

Storms continue to lash SoCal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAGUNA BEACH — Axl Dominguez
awoke early Wednesday to a bumping sound and
looked out the window to a scary sight: plastic
trashcans floating down the flooded street.
And then the water came rushing into his
house.
“We didn’t have time to get anything ... Water
started coming in from all the walls. Then the
wall fell and we got out through the window,”
the 15-year-old Dominguez said hours later,
shivering in shorts, mud-splashed sweat shirt
and bare feet as he carried his pajama-clad little
brother to the truck of a neighbor who finally
took them to an evauation center.
The tail end of a storm that dumped rain on
Southern California for nearly a week gave the
region one final lashing, burying houses and cars
in mud, washing hillsides onto highways, flood-
ing urban streets, threatening dozens of canyon
homes and spreading filthy water that prompted
the closure of 12 miles of Orange County beach-
es.
Inflatable boats and canoes were used to res-
cue dozens of motorists and homeowners from
flooded streets, hotels and hillsides. Others
refused to leave their homes, even as dirty water
and mud sliced through their neighborhoods.
The storm weakened as it moved eastward,
but floods still washed away at least six vacant
homes in Arizona and inundated parts of Nevada
and Utah.
Legislature shields records more so than most other states
By Samantha Young
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — A letter written by a
lobbyist to a lawmaker; an e-mail pitch by a

Those are just a few examples of documents
that would shed light on how the California
Legislature conducts the public’s business.
But California lawmakers, like their counter-

secret under a special law covering legislative

Obama to keep fighting
for DREAM Act on immigrants
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama
says it may be his “biggest disappointment” —
the failure to get Congress to pass the DREAM
Act. It would offer a path to legal status for
young illegal immigrants.
Obama says these children grow up like other
kids in America, only to find themselves under a
“shadow of fear” through no fault of their own.
He says anyone who knows any of these young
immigrants would want to help them.
He told reporters Wednesday that Republicans
may be reluctant to do so because of “tough”
politics on the issue.
EPA chief likely to impose
standards on chromium 6
LOS ANGELES — The head of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency says it will
likely tighten drinking water standards to
address potential health risks of a carcinogen
recently found in the tap water of 31 cities across
the country.
EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson issued a
statement Wednesday saying she is concerned
about the prevalence of the chemical hexavalent
chromium, also known as chromium 6.
The federal government’s total chromium
standard is 100 parts per billion. California has
proposed a goal for safe limits for chromium 6 at
0.06 parts per billion.
USDA rule change follows
SoCal slaughterhouse case
LOS ANGELES — The U.S Department of
Agriculture is telling slaughterhouse veterinary
inspectors to ensure cows are euthanized when
they are too sick or injured to stand.
The directive issued Wednesday is meant to
keep potentially contaminated meat out of the
food supply. It alters current rules that allow so-
called downer cows with treatable conditions to
receive veterinary care and then be slaughtered
for meat.
Consumers Union food safety expert Michael
Hansen says the rule change appears to be in
reaction to the 2008 abuse allegations at a
Southern California slaughterhouse that led to
the largest beef recall in U.S. history.
Workers at Chino-based Westland/Hallmark
Meat Co. were caught on videotape dragging

Obama signs ’don’t ask,don’t tell’repeal

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama signed a new law
Wednesday that will allow gays for
the first time in history to serve open-

those kicked out under the old law to
re-enlist.
Framing the issue as a matter of
civil rights long denied, Obama said
that “we are a nation that welcomes

that believes that all men and women

Senate ratifies nuke pact,

delivering win to Obama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate on
Wednesday ratified an arms control treaty with
Russia that reins in the nuclear weapons that
could plunge the world into doomsday, giving
President Barack Obama a major foreign poli-
cy win in Congress’ waning hours.
Thirteen Republicans broke with their top
two leaders and joined 56 Democrats and two
independents in providing the necessary two-
thirds vote to approve the treaty. The vote was
71-26, with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., showing
up just two days after cancer surgery.
Obama praised the strong bipartisan vote for
a treaty he described as the most significant
arms control pact in nearly two decades.
“This treaty will enhance our leadership to
stop the spread of nuclear weapons and seek
the peace of a world without them,” he told
reporters at a White House news conference.
The accord, which still must be approved by
Russia, would restart onsite weapons inspec-
Aid package for 9/11 survivors

WASHINGTON — After a last-minute
compromise, the Senate passed legislation
Wednesday to provide up to $4.2 billion in

A House vote was expected on the bill with-

the measure, though some supporters of the
bill have criticized him for not getting more
involved in the fight.
The measure was a product of a compro-
mise involving Democratic Sens. Charles
Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
and Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of
Oklahoma.

I
t’s hard to fathom! When you
think about the hypocrisy of
those Republicans who so
blatantly flaunt their self interest
instead of working for what is best
for the country, can you blame the
house Democrats for being upset?
It is reported that U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, “thought it
was rich that following months of
talk about bringing the national
debt under control, the president
and Republicans are planning to
add nearly $1 trillion to the debt
with money borrowed from China.”
I’ll bet that the vindictive
Republicans never thought it would
be so easy to hoodwink, blackmail
or con President Obama into going
along with their two-year plan to
wreck his presidency. It’s infuriat-
ing that those Republicans got
away with preventing all that needs
to be done to help the needy and
ease the deficit by clinging to their
tax cuts that Bush bestowed upon
them. It’s unbelievable that Obama
would give in so readily to allow
them to hang on to their tax cuts so
they can lavish more of their
wealth upon themselves and then
whine about estate taxes while
there are so many people out of
work and who are barely scraping
by. Many of us feel that it would
have been much better if Obama
would have rallied the Democrats
around him and stood up to those
self-gratifying and greedy
Republicans and let us know that
he is willing to stand up for
“Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a
chain or freed a human soul.” — Mark Twain
Democratic values.
U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, D-
Solano, laments the “give-away of
$150 billion for the fabulously
rich.” He reiterated that the “House
Democrats want to use the money
to reduce the deficit and put people
to work.”
What added to my angst was the
fact that I had just finished reading
a fascinating and very thought pro-
voking book, “The Watchman’s
Rattle” — “Thinking Our Way Out
of Extinction,” by Rebecca D.
Costa. Basically, it warns us about
where we’re headed as a nation
(and civilization, even) if we don’t
get our act together (so to speak).
The “act” that we need to “get
together” may surprise you. It is
basically correcting erroneous
beliefs that have gotten us into this
mess (and many others) with facts
— scientific knowledge that can
“set us free.” Costa writes: “When
beliefs — whether they are based
on economics or religion — over-
whelm rational knowledge, there
can be no rational outcome!” For
instance, believing that lowering
taxes for the wealthy promotes
jobs, or believing that all of those
drawing employment benefits for a
long time don’t really want to
work. Or, how about this one. If
you are down and out, it’s your
own fault.
The reason I bring up Costa’s
book is because in the furor over
the tax cuts and unemployment
insurance, many erroneous beliefs
complicate and distort the problem.
Unsubstantiated beliefs can cause
gridlock and create irrational oppo-
sition that draws us closer to disas-
ter. Does Obama really believe that
the Republicans who are against
him are rational? Does he actually
think that the Republicans are real-
ly interested in bipartisanship? If
he knows something we don’t, I’d
like to hear it. Maybe he needs to
pay attention to people like Paul
Krugman who wrote in the Dec. 10
“New York Times”: “… The exten-
sion increases the chance that the
Bush tax cuts will be made perma-
nent, with the devastating effects
on the budget and the long-term
prospects for Social Security and
Medicare.”
Those Republican withholding
types remind me of 2-year-olds
who brazenly grab a toy from
another child, glare at him and
shout, “Mine!” I’d love to ask those
who scream the loudest when any-
one mentions letting their tax cuts
expire: why do you cling so tena-
ciously to your wealth? Why it is
so difficult for you to share? Are
you doing what’s better for the
country or what’s better for you?
Why do you think it’s OK to add
so much more to the national
deficit to preserve your tax cuts?
Do you care about anyone besides
yourself and your petrified beliefs?
Do you claim to be Christians? If
so, is it the “fire and brimstone”
type or the “love thy neighbor”
type?
“… At least these negotiations
have had the benefit of proving
conclusively that the only people
for whom conservative Republicans
will go to the mat are the country’s
best-off citizens — and deficits be
damned.” — E.J. Dionne, Jr.

The effects of ‘don’t ask,don’t tell
— The Kansas City Star
The commander of the college
tasked with training America’s
future military leaders recently
learned a lesson from his son, a
young Army officer.
The topic was the discriminatory
U.S. policy of “don’t ask, don’t
tell,” which allowed gay men and
lesbians to serve their country only
if they kept their sexual identity a
secret.
Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr., the
commander of Fort Leavenworth
and the Command and General
Staff College, recalls his son say-
ing, “Dad, you might not think we
already know which soldiers are
gay, but we do. We all know, and
“Repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ was the only
proper decision this Congress could make.”
it’s no big deal.”
Polls measuring public opinion
and military opinion confirmed that.
Politically, however, it was a very
big deal, unwisely used as a conser-
vative-liberal litmus test. Now that
Congress has properly repealed the
flawed policy, which began as a
temporary compromise under
President Bill Clinton, the military
will take several months to figure
out how best to put the new rules
into practice.
But as a recent and comprehen-
sive Pentagon study indicates, and
the story from a general’s son con-
firms, the biggest hurdle in this
effort was repealing an outdated and
failed policy.
“Don’t ask, don’t tell” gave us
maddening stories, such as that of
Amy Brian. She was kicked out of
the Kansas National Guard despite
an excellent record both in Iraq
and stateside. An exemplary mem-
ber of the guard, she was removed
from the military because a civil-

Half Moon Bay councilman concedes
Former Half Moon Bay Councilman Mike Ferreira
conceded the week of Dec. 24, 2005 to Bonnie McClung
instead of facing a long legal battle over
eight contested votes separating him from
victory.
Ferreira made his decision
after having a lengthy conver-
sation with McClung that
week. Ferreira lost the election
by 15 votes, but the number dwindled to
eight after he requested a recall on Dec.
12, 2005. Ferreira was toying with the idea of challeng-
ing the remaining eight ballots, but said he didn’t want
to enter into a prolonged legal battle that would hurt the
community.
Judge zaps video game ban
Then-San Francisco assemblyman Leland Yee said the
week of Dec. 24, 2005 that he expects a new law he
authored banning the sale of violent video games to
minors to be upheld despite a federal judge’s prelimi-
nary injunction.
Assemblyman Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said the
injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Ronald
Whyte in San Jose that week was only a “temporary
pause.”
Whyte cited the restriction on selling violent video
games to minors as a potential freedom of speech viola-
tion in his injunction. The new law had been scheduled
to take effect Jan. 1, 2006.

DA: No merit to track petition postage claim
Claims that Bay Meadows used a postal permit owned
by the city of San Mateo were ruled to be unsubstantiat-
ed and there was to be no criminal investigation into
misconduct, San Mateo County District Attorney Jim
Fox said the week of Dec. 24, 2005.
“We have concluded there is no basis to conduct a
criminal investigation
because the postage per-
mit which was used had
been issued to and paid
for by the Bay Meadows Land Company,” according to
a statement released by the DA’s Office that week.
Friends of Bay Meadows, the group opposing the
redevelopment of the aging race track, sent a letter to
Fox that week requesting it pursue a criminal investiga-
tion into its allegations. Fox concluded the group “erro-
neously believed” the permit was issued to the city. In
fact, the permit was issued to — and paid for by — Bay
Meadows.
Bay Meadows mailed fliers the previous month encouraging
San Mateo residents who signed a referendum petition to mail
postage paid cards to City Hall requesting the city clerk remove
their names from the petition. Bay Meadows paid for the return
postage via the permit account.

Stocks edge up to 2-year highs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Major stock indexes
edged up to two-year highs on
1,386.80
Wednesday after a report showed that
the U.S. economy grew faster than pre-
viously thought over the summer.
The Commerce Department said the
country’s gross domestic product rose at
an annual rate of 2.6 percent between
July and September, a small increase
from its earlier estimate of 2.5 percent.
“Some folks will look at 2.6 percent as
a disappointment, but the market is tak-
ing a look at the bigger picture,” said
Phil Orlando, the chief stock market
strategist at Federated Investors. Many
traders expect the economy to grow by 3
percent or more during the fourth quar-
ter and through 2011, he said.
Separately, the National Association
of Realtors said sales of previously-
occupied homes rose 5.6 percent in
November to an annual rate of 4.68 mil-
lion. That was slightly below analysts’
estimates of 4.75 million, according to
Tax cuts raise expectations for economy
By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Expectations for
economic growth next year are turning
more optimistic now that Americans will
have a little more cash in their pockets.
A cut in workers’ Social Security taxes
and rising consumer spending have led
economists to predict a strong start for
2011.
Still, most people won’t feel much better
until employers ramp up hiring and people
buy more homes.
Analysts are predicting economic
growth next year will come in next year
close to 4 percent. It would mark an
improvement from the 2.8 percent growth
expected for this year and would be the
strongest showing since 2000.
“Looking ahead, circumstances are ripe
for the economy to develop additional trac-
tion,” said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S.
economist at MFR Inc. in New York. He is
estimating growth for 2011 to be above 3.5
percent.
The economy grew at a moderate pace
last summer, reflecting stronger spending
by businesses to replenish stockpiles, the
Commerce Department reported
Wednesday. Gross domestic product
increased at a 2.6 percent annual rate in the
July-September quarter. That’s up from the
2.5 percent pace estimated a month ago.
Sales up on previously occupied homes
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More people
bought previously owned homes in
November, the third increase in four
months after the worst summer season in
more than a decade.
Still, economists say it could take
years for home sales to return to healthy
levels.
Buyers bought homes at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 4.68 million, the
National Association of Realtors said
Wednesday. Even with the rise, this year
is shaping up to be the worst for home
sales since 1997.
Economists say it could take at least
two years or longer to return to a more
normal level for sales of around 6 mil-
lion units a year.
“The housing market is still flat on its
back, but there are signs that it is starting
to pick itself up,” said Mark Zandi, chief
economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Even
with the improvements we expect, next
year will still be a very weak market.”
The housing market is still struggling
data provided by FactSet.
“The home sales numbers are signifi-
cantly off the highs that we saw in the
go-go years earlier this decade, but 5
million home sales a year is good
enough to keep prices from falling,” said
Paul Zemsky, the head of asset alloca-
tion at ING Investment Management.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
26.33 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at
11,559.49. The S&P 500 index rose
4.24, or 0.3 percent, to 1,258.84. Both
indexes closed at their highest levels
since July 2008.
The Nasdaq composite index gained
3.87, or 0.2 percent, to 2,671.48. It was
the highest close for the Nasdaq since
Dec. 28, 2007.
Trading was light ahead of the
Christmas holiday on Friday. Rising
stocks outnumbered falling ones by
three to two on the New York Stock
Exchange. Consolidated volume was 3.6
billion shares.
Of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow
index, 22 rose. Bank of America Corp.
While businesses spent more to build
inventories, consumers spent a bit less.
Many analysts predict the economy
strengthened in the October-December
quarter. They think the economy is grow-
ing at a 3.5 percent pace or better mainly
because consumers are spending more
freely again.
Still, the housing market remains a drag
on the slowly improving economy.
The National Association of Realtors
reported Wednesday that more people
bought previously owned homes rose in
November. The sales pace rose 5.6 percent
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.68
million units. Even with the gain, sales are
still well below what analysts consider a
healthy pace.
Even if analysts are right about 2011
being a better year for the economy,
growth still wouldn’t be strong enough to
dramatically lower the 9.8 percent unem-
ployment rate.
By some estimates, the economy would
need to grow by 5 percent for a full year to
push down the unemployment rate by a
full percentage point. Even with growth at
around 4 percent, as many analysts predict,
the unemployment rate is still expected to
hover around 9 percent.
The third-quarter’s performance marks
an improvement from the feeble 1.7 per-
cent growth logged in the April-June quar-
ter. The economy’s growth slowed sharply
then. Fears about the European debt crisis
to recover from a boom-bust cycle
which helped trigger a severe economic
recession. Home prices have tumbled in
most markets and many potential buyers
worry that prices could fall further.
The median price of a home sold in
November was $170,600.
Zandi said he expects prices will fall
another 5 percent from where they are
now, hitting a bottom in the summer of
next year.
A major problem is the glut of unsold
homes on the market. Those numbers
fell to 3.71 million units in November. It
would take 9.5 months to clear them off
the market at the November sales pace.
Most analysts say a six to seven-month
supply represents a healthy supply of
homes.
Analysts said the situation is much
worse when the “shadow inventory” of
homes is taken into account. These are
homes that are in the early stages of the
foreclosure process but have not been
put on the market yet for resale.
David Wyss, chief economist at
Standard & Poor’s in New York, said
when these homes are added, the inven-

fall. The stock dropped 1 percent to
$41.48.
Before the market opened, Walgreen
Co. reported revenue and earnings that
beat analyst estimates. The country’s
largest drugstore chain said its income
rose 18.8 percent. The stock rose 5.5
percent to $38.85.
Late Tuesday, Nike Inc. said it planned
to raise some of its prices because of
higher costs for cotton and shipping.
Revenue and earnings per share were
better than analysts had forecast. Nike
fell 5.3 percent to $86.95.
December is shaping up to be a good
month for stocks. The S&P 500 has risen
6.6 percent this month and the Dow has
gained 5 percent. On Tuesday, the S&P
500 closed above the level it reached on
Sept. 12, 2008, the last trading day
before the collapse of Lehman Brothers

roiled Wall Street and prompted business-
es to limit their spending.
“It sure looks like the ‘soft patch’ is
over,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief
economist at IHS Global Insight.
In the third quarter, greater spending by
businesses on replenishing their stocks
was the main factor behind the slight
upward revision to GDP.
Consumers boosted their spending at a
2.4 percent pace. That was down from a
2.8 percent growth rate previously estimat-
ed. Even so, consumers increased their
spending at the fastest pace in four years.
The slight downward revision reflected
less spending on health care and financial
services than previously estimated.
More recent reports from retailers, how-
ever, show that shoppers are spending at a
greater rate in the final months of the year.
Companies are discounting merchandise
to lure shoppers. A price gauge tied to the
GDP report showed that prices — exclud-
ing food and energy — rose at a 0.5 per-
cent pace in the third quarter, the slowest
quarterly pace on records going back to
1959.
Americans have more reasons to be con-
fident. Stock prices are rising, helping
Americans regain vast losses in wealth suf-
fered during the recession. Job insecurity
remains a problem, but the hiring market is
slowly improving. And loans aren’t as dif-
ficult to obtain for those with solid credit
histories.
tory level would actually be about dou-
ble where it is now.
“There is a big shadow inventory out
there of houses that are in the process of
foreclosure or are underwater and will
go into foreclosure,” Wyss said. “We are
still bouncing along the bottom in hous-
ing.”
Patrick Newport, a housing economist
at IHS Global Insight, said he believed
sales of previously owned homes could
actually drop farther in 2011, dipping to
4.6 million units and then begin a grad-
ual recovery in 2012. He said it could
take until 2014 for sales to return to
around 6 million units.
For November, sales were up in all
regions of the country led by an 11.7
percent rise in the West. Sales were up
6.4 percent in the Midwest, 2.9 percent
in the South and 2.7 percent in the
Northeast.
The November increase was driven by
a 6.7 percent rise in sales of single-fam-
ily homes which pushed activity in this
area to an annual rate of 4.15 million
units. Sales of condominiums dropped
1.9 percent to a rate of 530,000 units.

After losing a number of seniors
to graduation, Menlo-Atherton
girls’ water polo coach Chris
Rubin was going to rely heavily on
a four-year starter to supply the
leadership on the team in 2010.
It was Emily Dorst leading the
way. Actually, she was behind her
team the whole way because Dorst
has been the Bears’ starting goalie
for the last four years. She capped
her high school career in style this
season, guiding the Bears to an
undefeated Peninsula Athletic
League championship before tak-
ing them to their second ever
Central Coast Section champi-
onship.
Dorst bookended her career at
Menlo-Atherton with a CCS title
her freshman and senior years
sandwiched around CCS finals
appearances her sophomore and
junior year.
Her performance this season also
earned Dorst CCS MVP honors
and now joins older sister Becca
Dorst in becoming the 2009 Daily
Journal’s Female Water Polo
Player of the Year.
This year’s CCS title has the
most impact for Dorst. The Bears
lost a ton of talent from last year’s
team and, while the Bears were
still loaded, Dorst knew this season
would not be easy.
“We definitely lost a lot of peo-
ple (from) last year. Not that I did-
n’t think it (winning CCS) wasn’t
possible. I just knew we had to
work a lot harder,” Dorst said. “I
didn’t really have to change my
game, but I took on more responsi-
bility as a senior.”

Max Murphy has been a
busy guy during his time at
Serra.
When not studying to keep
up his 4.51 weighted GPA, he
was in student government or
playing in the school jazz
band.
Other than his schoolwork,
however, the one constant in
Murphy’s life has been water
polo, and few have played it
better at Serra than Murphy.
With 122 goals this season —
which led the Padres —
Murphy moved into the No. 5
spot on the school’s all-time
scoring list. His scoring was
also the third-best single sea-
son output in school history.
More importantly, however,
was the fact Murphy — who
played the hole set — was
more than just a goal-scoring
machine. He led the Padres in
assists with 32, was second on
the team in steals and second
on the team — behind only
the goalie — in blocked shots.
“Max is great. He’s kind of
the complete athlete,” said
Serra coach Bob Greene.
“He’s really a complete guy.”
And just to complete his
senior season, Murphy is this

49ers still
remain in
playoff race
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — The San Francisco
49ers are an NFL enigma. So bad one week, so
good the next — and it’s hard to explain exact-
ly why.
Other than inconsistency, of course.
They have no real identity on offense in large
part because of injuries, and the only reason
they’re alive in the playoff chase with a lowly
5-9 record: The Niners play in the dreadful
NFC West.
“To still be in it, it’s amazing,” tight end
Vernon Davis said.
No team has made the playoffs with a losing
record in a non-strike season — so, this could
be a history-making first for the West champi-
on. Cleveland and Detroit
advanced in the 1982 strike
season with 4-5 records
when the playoffs were
expanded to include eight
teams per conference.
“It’s unusual, but let’s
not get it twisted. We didn’t
make the rules,” San
Francisco linebacker Takeo
Takeo Spikes Spikes said defensively.
“We live in a society where
the rules are made and we’re going to play in
them. So we get the opportunity to do that,
which we will with these next two games.
Hopefully we’ll take care of business and we’ll
set ourselves up with the playoffs.
“I don’t worry about what this person may
say, what that person may say. If they had the
opportunity to be in our shoes right now they
would love to. But they can’t. That’s why
they’re sitting behind a desk, holding micro-
phones and making opinions. One day I’ll be
that person but until that day I’m going to take
advantage of my business here.”
Even coach Mike Singletary has been per-
plexed by this season, by this team he truly
thought would be so much better in his second
full year in charge. He lists certain players who
have had productive years, and points to a pair
of rookie offensive linemen who have hung
tough through their introduction to the rigors of
the pro game.
Yet many have greatly underachieved. There
have been quarterback switches and the 49ers
have made a lot of the same mistakes that hurt
them a year ago in an 8-8 season. That after
Singletary and his players thought things were
fixed and they were destined to end a seven-
year postseason drought.
“It’s never over ’til it’s over,” center David
Baas said. “We’ve got a chance to do some-
thing awesome.”
But it could be over as soon as Sunday, when
San Francisco plays at St. Louis. A loss and the
49ers are officially done, leaving the Rams and
Seahawks to fight for the top spot in the
league’s worst division. San Francisco would
have been eliminated last weekend if either
Seattle or St. Louis had won, yet neither did.
Having won four of seven, San Francisco
actually has been the division’s hottest team of
late.
“I never thought we were totally out of it,”
rookie running back Anthony Dixon said.
“Because until they told us we were out of it,
we were in it.”
The hands-down favorite to win the West,
San Francisco went unbeaten in the preseason
and then started 0-5. Team president Jed York
declared his club would still rebound to win the
division and make the playoffs, even though no

Newton named AP Player of the Year
By John Zenor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton lifted
Auburn from the back of the Top 25 to No. 1
in the nation.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback
led the Tigers into the national title game
against No. 2 Oregon with a mix of flair and
poise and enough highlight reel plays to wide-
ly split the vote among a handful of coaches
and teammates asked for their favorite.
Newton has already raked in the Heisman
Trophy and Davey O’Brien and Maxwell
awards for his spectacular season. He added
AP Player of the Year to his collection on
Wednesday.
An NCAA investigation into Newton’s
recruitment, which threw his eligibility into
doubt during November, had no effect on how
he played down the stretch — or the voting for
the AP award. It was about as lopsided as the
Heisman vote.
Newton received 51 votes from the 60-
member AP football poll panel. Boise State
quarterback Kellen Moore received three,
Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck got two
and four ballots went unreturned.
In less than a year, Newton has gone from
the obscurity of junior college to helping

Raiders rookie tackle has tough task
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Playing left tackle as a
rookie in the NFL is a tough enough task
under normal conditions.
When Indianapolis pass-rushing specialist
Dwight Freeney is lined up on the other side it
becomes even more of a challenge.
That’s the situation facing Oakland’s Jared
Veldheer, who will be counted on to protect
Jason Campbell’s blind side Sunday from one
of the best speed rushers in the NFL in a game
the Raiders (7-7) need to win to keep their
slim playoff hopes alive.
“Normally what happens is when I go
against a rookie, there’s two other guys with
him,” Freeney said in a conference call with
Bay Area media. “I’m sure they’re going to
scheme and not going to just leave him by
himself. That wouldn’t be too smart.”

Southeastern Conference championship.
It wasn’t all about the big plays, though.
Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said he
was more impressed by Newton’s leadership
in repeatedly bringing the team from behind,
times a game even against
veterans.
Veldheer figures to get
plenty of help, whether it
comes from another offen-
sive lineman, a tight end or
a chipping running back.
It will be needed against
Freeney, who has eight
Jared Veldheer sacks this season. He is
also tied for the most
sacks with 92 and has forced the most fumbles
with 41 since entering the NFL in 2002.
That’s not exactly the kind of competition
Veldheer faced while playing at Division II
Hillsdale College in Michigan last year.
“Most of it is just a mindset,” Veldheer said.
“It’s you versus another person. No one is
Superman with a cape out there. Everyone is
wearing a helmet and shoulder pads and you
just got to go out there and execute and do
your job better than the guy across from you.”
Making the task even tougher for the
including a 24-0 deficit at Alabama.
“The sign of a special quarterback is one
that has the abilities to make his teammates
better and make his teammates believe in
things that maybe they wouldn’t believe with-
out him,” Malzahn said. “We’ve faced some
major adversity earlier in the year when we
didn’t know each other that well.
“We were down to Clemson 17-0 at home
and it was ugly as all get out. But he didn’t
change then. He’s a rock, as far as all that’s
concerned. Doesn’t panic.”
It doesn’t hurt that Newton’s 6-foot-6 and
250 pounds with deceptive speed, nifty open-
field moves, power and a nice arm. He broke
the single-season SEC rushing record for a
quarterback in the eighth game, a 28-carry,
217-yard effort against LSU. Malzahn also
says Newton has proven he’s “not a good
thrower, he’s an excellent thrower.”
As the season wore on, Newton’s skills
bloomed and not even a scandal could slow
him.
He deftly played through an NCAA investi-
gation into a pay-for-play recruiting attempt
involving his father, Cecil, at Mississippi
State. The NCAA said Cecil Newton sought
payment from the Bulldogs, but there was no
evidence that his son or Auburn knew about it.
The week before the SEC title game, the
NCAA said Newton could play and he
accounted for six touchdowns in a 56-17 vic-
tory against South Carolina. That locked up a
Raiders is the fact that starting right tackle
Langston Walker’s status is in doubt after sus-
taining a concussion last week.
That could force Mario Henderson into his
first career start at that position against the
Colts’ other star pass rusher, Robert Mathis.
“That’s the real key to their defense —
they’re both really good players,” coach Tom
Cable said. “They get after the ball so you
have to have a plan for both of them and we’ll
do that. But you can’t just put your attention
to one side and not the other. You have to do it
with both of them.”
Veldheer, a third-round pick, was thrown
right into the NFL mix this season when he
started the season opener at center against
Tennessee.
That experiment didn’t go so well and he
spent the next five weeks sharing time at left
tackle with Henderson before earning the
starting job at that critical spot on the offen-
sive line.

Glendale, Ariz.
It’s the second straight season Newton has
led his team to the national championship
game. He guided Blinn College in Brenham,
Texas, to the JUCO championship last year —
only few noticed.
“We probably have more people in this
room here alone than the whole junior college
national championship game,” Newton said
recently.
Auburn coach Gene Chizik was asked about
the highs and lows of Newton’s season. He
confined his answer to the field.
“I don’t recall a lot of lows with him, but I
recall a lot of highs,” Chizik said. “I’m just
impressed with him period, both as a person
on and off the field and the way he has pro-
gressed as a football player for us in this sys-
tem week by week. Obviously, he’s one of the
huge reasons why we’re here, along with
many others.”

feel this is all of a sudden clicked and the light
turned on and all that. It’s just over the course
of everything happening, really, almost every
day, every practice of the season.”
The Raiders have won five of eight games
with Veldheer starting at left tackle. They are
fourth in the league in scoring since then at
29.1 points per game and second in total
offense at 395.6 yards.
According to STATS LLC, Veldheer has
allowed six sacks this season, while commit-
ting six false starts and four holding penalties.
“I always am trying to pick things out of my
game and improve on them,” Veldheer said.
“There’s always room for improvement. I
don’t think you can ever be satisfied with any
one performance because if you think it’s per-
fect you’re really lying to yourself because
you can always improve.”
Veldheer is earning the confidence of his
teammates with his play, who know how
tough a spot left tackle is in the NFL.

him try to hold off the defense and
still get off a shot.

This year, opponents focused on
trying to slow down Murphy, who
was facing double and triple teams.
Many hole sets would be bull-head-
ed and try to force shots on net, to
prove he was bigger and stronger
than the defenders covering him.
Murphy chose a different tactic,
however. He decided to be smarter.
For the time he was in the hole set,
he realized if opponents were drop-
ping two and three defenders on
him, that meant he had two open
teammates to whom to pass.
“Being the hole set is the most
physical part of polo, (but) it’s good
to show diversity in my playing
ability,” Murphy said. “If I’m dou-
ble or tripled team, that means two
or three other guys are open.
“A good water polo player is not
just one that can shoot from any-
judge each day that goes by “is one
more day I’m without my daughter.”
Gallo was frequently moved to tears
by the statements from family mem-
bers of victims. He acknowledged
before sentencing that he had taken the
three lives and ruined his own after get-
ting behind the wheel after hours of
drinking.
He also said he expected to spend
the rest of his life in prison.
“When I die, I have to look God in
the face and ask him for forgiveness
and mercy,” he said.
Gallo was convicted in September of
three counts of second-degree murder
where.”
His coach also tried to free up
Murphy my moving him around in
the pool. Greene said he would play
Murphy in the set for about a little
less than half a match before mov-
ing him around to other positions.
“With all the double and triple
teaming, we had to move him out to
the perimeter. We moved him to the
point, moved him to driver — he
had never played driver before,”
Greene said. “I had to move him all
over the place.”
No matter where Murphy was play-
ing, however, his heart was always
in the hole set.
“It’s been tough,” Murphy said.
“When I get out to the point, I want
to get back in there (the hole set)
and rough things up a little bit.”
It’s hard to argue with that senti-
and single counts of drunken driving,
hit-and-run driving, and driving under
the influence of alcohol and causing
great bodily injury.
He was sentenced by Judge Richard
Toohey to 15 years to life on each of
the murder counts, with the additional
six years added for the other crimes.
Prosecutors had sought the terms of 15
years to life.
“His conduct showed a complete
disregard for the safety of others,”
Deputy District Attorney Susan Price
said in court papers filed before the
hearing.
Prosecutors said Gallo drank beer
ment, considering how effective and
efficient Murphy scored this year.
While he scored 122 goals, he did
so on just 224 shots. It also goes to
show his unselfish play helped the
rest of the team as well. Jake Folan
scored 44 goals, while Paul Jordan
added 24. In all, the Padres had five
players finish with 19 goals or more.
“Max didn’t score (all those)
goals due to the fact he’s not a black
hole,” Greene said, referring to the
term given to a selfish player who
does not look to give the ball up
once he has it.
“Others stay involved in the
game,” Greene continued. “Others
are excited to play with him. It
keeps them going.”
None of this success has come as
much of a surprise to Greene or
Murphy, who was a fourth-team All
and shots at three different bars with
his stepbrother before driving off in the
family’s minivan. Jurors saw a video-
taped interview in which he told police
he didn’t remember driving that night
and apologized to the victims’families.
Gallo’s attorney had called for one
sentence of 15 years to life, saying her
client never intended to hurt anyone.
Attorney Jacqueline Goodman said
in court papers that Gallo’s stepbrother
was supposed to be the designated
driver that night, but that Gallo took the
wheel when his stepbrother became
too drunk to drive.
American last season. He competed
against some of the top players in
the country at last summer’s Junior
Olympics in Southern California
and recently competed with the
CCS All Stars against the NCS All
Stars.
“I think it’s an interesting stat that
a 2-meter player would have so
many assists. He averaged over one
assist per game and one steal per
game,” said Greene, who also said
Murphy averaged four to five goals
per contest.
“The stat line has to be complete
and he fills it. The kid does every-
thing.”

“She has really good fundamentals,” Rubin

remains calm under pressure.
“One of the things that really stands out is

close, tough match against Gunn and with the
score tied the Titans found themselves with a
one-on-one breakaway. Dorst held her ground
as the Gunn player feinted and deked. Almost
as if she knew which way to go, Dorst lunged
to her right an eyelash before the shot was
released. She tipped the ball wide of the cage
and the Bears went on to win 4-3.
In the CCS championship game, clinging to
a 5-4 lead late against the Lancers, St. Francis
drew up a play during a timeout and ran it to
perfection, getting the ball to a wide open
player at the left post. Dorst went from post to

preserve the win.
Those two saves alone proved Dorst’s worth

It should come as no surprise that Dorst’s
high school accomplishments come from
years of honing her game against a family full
of water polo players. Although she played all
sports growing up, it was no accident she
latched on to water polo. Her dad, Chris
Dorst, was the starting goalie at M-A before
going on to a playing career at Stanford. Her
oldest sister, Lindsey Dorst, was a three-year
starting goalie at Sacred Heart Prep.
Her dad, however, was her biggest inspira-
tion. Plus, it didn’t hurt goalies do the least

Three players departed along the way,
including second-year running back Glen
Coffee, who decided to retire to pursue the
ministry only to be arrested on a gun charge in
October in Florida.

Rubin said. “She has a great throwing arm.
She can get the ball anywhere we wanted to
get to create our offense.”
Dorst will now see where she stacks up in
the Dorst pecking order beginning next season
when she is playing for Stanford. She might
have a chance to go up against her older sis-
ters as Lindsay will be a senior at Cal and
Becca a sophomore at UCLA.

South Korea warns North
By Hyung-Jin Kim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — South
Korea vowed Wednesday to “com-
pletely punish” North Korea if it
attacks again, and mobilized hun-
dreds of troops, tanks and helicopters
for a massive military exercise
prompted by high tensions on the
peninsula.
The firing drills planned for
Thursday near the Koreas’ heavily
armed land border signaled that
South Korea is willing to risk further
escalating tensions with North Korea,
which shelled a southern island off
the western coast on Nov. 23 and
stirred up a war-like atmosphere.
The attack, which killed four peo-
ple, was portrayed by Pyongyang as a
retaliation for southern military exer-
cises on Yeonpyeong island that day.
South Korea has conducted 47 sim-
ilar military drills this year, and it
scheduled one more exercise for

Korean attack, an army officer said

Spy joins Putin’s Russian youth group

MOSCOW — Former spy Anna
Chapman publicly reaffirmed her
allegiance to Russia and Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin on
Wednesday by joining the youth wing
of his United Russia party — as an
issue Playboy magazine with nude
pictures of her hit the newsstands.
Chapman was exposed in the
department rules. Thursday’s drill
will be the biggest-ever wintertime
joint firing exercise that South
Korea’s army and air force have
staged, an army statement said.
“We will completely punish the
enemy if it provokes us again like the
shelling of Yeonpyeong Island,”
Brig. Gen. Ju Eun-sik, chief of the
army’s 1st armored brigade, said sep-
arately.
South Korean forces are on high
alert even though the North backed
down from its threat to again retaliate
over a separate firing drill the South
held Monday on Yeonpyeong in dis-
puted western waters.
The two Koreas remain technically
at war since their 1950s conflict
ended in a cease-fire, not a peace
treaty. The past month’s military ten-
sion, however, has been the worst in
several years.
The North has made conciliatory
remarks in recent days — telling a
visiting U.S. governor it might allow
international inspections of its
nuclear programs — but Seoul is

Argentine ex-dictator
sentenced to life in prison
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina —
Former dictator Jorge Videla was
sentenced to life in prison
Wednesday for the torture and mur-
der of 31 prisoners in 1976, the first
conviction for the military junta
leader in 25 years of democracy.
Videla, who led the military coup
that installed Argentina’s 1976-1983
dictatorship, is considered the archi-
tect of a dirty war that eliminated
thousands of people in a crackdown
on armed leftist guerrillas and their
supporters.
The judges found Videla “crimi-
nally responsible” for the torture
and deaths of 31 prisoners who were
pulled from civilian jail cells and
officially “shot while trying to
escape” as the military consolidated
its power in the months after the
coup.
Iraqi churches cancel
Christmas festivities
KIRKUK, Iraq — No decorations,
no midnight Mass. Even an appear-
ance by Santa Claus has been nixed
after Iraq’s Christian leaders called off
Christmas celebrations amid new al-
Qaida threats on the tiny community
still terrified from a bloody siege on a
Baghdad church.
Christians across Iraq have been liv-
ing in fear since the assault on Our
Lady of Salvation Church as its
Catholic congregation was celebrating
Sunday Mass. Sixty-eight people
were killed. Days later Islamic insur-
gents bombed Christian homes and
neighborhoods across the capital.
On Tuesday, al-Qaida insurgents
threatened more attacks on Iraq’s
beleaguered Christians, many of
whom have fled their homes or the
country since the church attack.

Hosting smaller,more stylish New Year’s parties

By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Maybe it’s because of cost, space
or just overall effort, but many peo-
ple prefer hosting a smaller New
Year’s Eve get-together rather than
a grand affair. Still, they want to
send off the old year in memorable
style.
E-vites are a free, convenient way
to get the word out. Web invitation
sites let you track RSVPs, and pro-
vide a map with directions for your
guests.
A traditional paper invite, howev-
er, is a nice touch. Make sure you’re
clear about details, including what
will be served — is it dinner or just
appetizers? Dress up or just show
up?
Matching your invitation to your
party’s style scheme — elegant,
freewheeling or nostalgic cozy —
will set the tone. The invitation’s a
talisman that helps guests prepare
for the evening.
Style at Home magazine’s editor

“Apply stick-on numbers to glasses

Not all wreaths are created equally
By Jennifer Forker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Tick tock,” goes the clock, and
the holidays are near. Are you
ready?
Don’t panic. There’s still time to
craft a beautiful Christmas, with
wreaths that can be made in minutes
or a few hours. These ideas also can
be used to create garlands, tabletop
decorations or to deck out the
Christmas tree.
Start with a noble fir or pine
wreath, real or synthetic, and add an
assortment of decorative floral picks,
such as red berries. Throw in some
small ornamental balls, add a ribbon,
and presto, a wreath is born, accord-
ing to Jo Pearson, the creative expert
at Michaels.
If using a synthetic wreath, she
recommends weaving an additional
garland, such as brightly colored
berries, into the wreath to give it
more interest and depth.
“There are just a lot of pretty berry
garlands,” says Pearson.
“Sometimes they don’t need a bow.
Then they’re just very natural.”
The same wreath can be changed
out each year for a fresh look. “You
don’t have to store 50,000 wreaths,”
says Pearson.
Other ideas: Spray pine cones
with adhesive, then dust with glitter
and add them to the wreath. Or, “tip”
a wreath with spray snow.
Glass ornamental balls come in
different shapes and sizes and can be
filled with paint that’s swirled
around inside before attaching the
ornaments to a wreath.
Pearson recommends experiment-
ing with non-Christmas colors, such
as pink.
“The colors are just not traditional
reds and greens anymore,” she says.
“People want their wreaths to stand
out.”
Several wreaths for sale in cata-
logs and online can be reproduced
with minimal cost or time. Neiman
Marcus sells the “Midnight
Platinum,” a 31-inch square wreath,
for $195. It weaves in twigs, leaves,
faux berries, pine cones and beaded
balls in silvery, gold and gray, and
includes a string of white lights and
a taffeta ribbon.
Create a similar look with a plain,
green wreath wrapped with an addi-
tional garland. Use silver Design
Master spray paint, or any other
color, for a monochromatic look.
Weave in a string of battery-operated
white lights. Add the visual acces-
sories: floral picks of wire or beaded
balls, berries and pine cones —
spray paint these beforehand or
leave them natural. Wrap with a
beautiful bow.
For indoors, try recreating the 20-
inch wool wreath sold by
Anthropologie for $148. Start with a
Styrofoam form and wrap it with
colorful, chunky yarn. Use wool, or
SUBURBAN LIVING
wool and another yarn for added
color and dimension, says Pearson,
who goes rogue with these addition-
al tips: Randomly wrap the wool
wreath in metallic thread. Or add
felted balls and crocheted ivy leaves.
Visit Etsy.com for more yarn wreath
ideas.
From Marcie McGoldrick, editori-
al director of Holiday & Crafts for
Martha Stewart Living, come these
fast and luxe ideas for indoor
wreaths (featured in the magazine’s
December issue):
• Glue metallic bows in coordinat-
ed colors to a flat, wood wreath, cov-
ering it. About 18 bows will fill a 12-
inch form (50 for a 24-inch wreath).
• Craft a card wreath with a 14-
inch embroidery hoop, mini wooden
clothespins, wood glue and holiday
cards. Spacing them 1 1/2 inches
apart, attach the clothespins to the
hoop, alternating those that point out
with others that point in, to give the
wreath versatility. Hang it with a
pretty ribbon and clip on holiday
cards.

forms at Main Wreath Co. For basic
wreath-making instructions, and to

Christmas Workshop.
Finally, Etsy artist Trisha Muhr of
Sycamore, Ill., has an ingenious
indoor wreath idea: It’s made from
the pages of thrift store books. Muhr,
who sells her crafts at the Etsy store
Roundabout, says the wreath takes
about 35 minutes from start to finish,
once you get the hang of it.
Trisha Muhr’s book wreath
Supplies:
8-inch foam or wood wreath
(available at some dollar stores)
Pages from a medium-size book
(older books add patina)
Glue gun and glue sticks
Satin ribbon for hanging
Optional:
Spray adhesive or craft glue and
glitter
Assembly:
1. Remove book pages. If using
glitter, fold the paper into an “S”
form (one-third back and one-third
forward) and dip one short end in
glue, or spray edges with adhesive
and dip into glitter. Set aside to dry
(about 5 minutes).
2. Starting with the backside of the
wreath, re-roll the pages into “S”
forms and glue them to the wreath

Grains offer flavor,nutrition,beauty in garden

By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Now that you’ve established a productive
vegetable garden, how about growing some
pancakes, pasta and home-baked breads on
the side?
Plant whole grains — cheap, low-mainte-
nance grasses that produce edible seeds you
can cook up raw (as you would rice), grind
into flour, make into brews, or add fresh to
salads and casseroles. Grains demonstrate that
you don’t need blooms to beautify small
spaces. Think amber waves of grain, or patch-
es of waist-high ornamental grass swaying
gracefully in the wind.
Add thrift to the equation, too, because a lit-
tle goes a long way.
“A 1,000-square-foot plot planted with 2
3/4 pounds of barley seed will yield one
bushel of barley,” says Sara Pitzer, author of
the updated “Homegrown Whole Grains:
Grow, Harvest & Cook Wheat Barley, Oats,
Rice, Corn & More” (Storey Publishing,
2009).
“If one bushel doesn’t sound like much,
consider that one cup of raw barley cooks up
to generously serve six people, and that most
soup recipes — even ones making big pots of
soup — call for only one-third cup of raw bar-
ley.”
Grains also serve as nutritious recipe fillers,
replacing pricier ingredients in a meat loaf or
stew. “Put aside what you can’t eat for plant-
ing the next year,” Pitzer advises.
Whole grains usually recommended for
home gardens include barley, buckwheat,
corn, millet, oats, rice, rye, wheat and ama-
ranth. Decide which grains or cereals you
want to grow based on flavor, ease of harvest,
hardiness and appearance.
Here’s a Pitzer-provided primer to help get
you started:
• Barley: Matures faster and tolerates
drought better than wheat. A fiber-rich plant
known to reduce cholesterol and blood glu-
cose levels. Frequently used for brewing.
• Buckwheat: Broadleaf plant with a strong
flavor that often is milled into flour for pan-
cakes. Recommended for everything from biscuits to recipe essential for everything from pastas to

form. For easier gluing, fold the bottom of
each “S” page about 1/2 inch up and glue that
tab to the form. Glue the pages close together.
3. Working from the backside to the front,
and from the outside to the center, keep rolling
and gluing the pages around the wreath. Check
for bare spots and fill them in with additional
pages. (You won’t need as many pages to fill
the back as to fill the front. Filling in the back
just helps the wreath appear fuller.) When fin-
ished, the wreath should resemble a rosette.
4. Glue a satin ribbon to the back of the
wreath. (The wreath is lightweight, so easy to
hang.)
Tips: The bigger the book, the fewer the
pages that are needed, and the faster the
wreath builds. This wreath looks great made
with sheet music. See the Nov. 2, 2009, online
blog at Living with Lindsay for similar (and
amusing) instructions with images.

unless you already have one. Keep libations
simple, with a signature cocktail and a couple of
drink pitchers, including alcohol-free.
Set up food buffet-style, with appetizer-size
nibblers. A round table or two offers a great spot
for noshers to gather if you prefer sitting to
standing around.
To finish the evening, set out bowls of color-
ful candies, mints, cookies and mini desserts,
along with little take out containers. Guests can
bring home a bit more party flavor to enjoy
before the resolutions kick in on Jan. 1.

stock locally, or even online forcing back
order lists and searches for alternatives in
the hunt for memorabilia marking the
magical year in San Francisco baseball.
Baseball cards are difficult to keep in
stock for a number of local shops.
Jordan Lee, owner of What’s on
Second? in San Mateo has seen a large
demand for cards featuring 2010
National League Rookie of the Year
Buster Posey and two-time Cy Young
award winner Tim Lincecum.
Thankfully, Lee and his friends bought
enough to meet the demand — at least
so far.
Peninsula Sports Cards in Belmont has
seen an interest in a 27-card pack featur-
ing the 2010 World Champions. At
$14.95, it’s not the most expensive item
on anyone’s wish list, but it may be the
hardest to come by.
Terence Grenier, who works at the
Belmont store, said they were in stock as
of Tuesday afternoon but wasn’t sure
how long that would last.
Burlingame’s Lefty’s Sports Cards is
having problems meeting the needs for
both individual cards and the packs, said
webmaster Carlos Roa who noted there
was a backorder list building. DVDs are
also in high demand.
Uniquely, Roa noted autographs —
not only those of Giants players — are
SHOOTING
Continued from page 1
Family and friends of some of the vic-
tims were seen crying and consoling
each other as news of the shooting
spread through the neighborhood, just a
few short blocks from downtown.
About 40 people gathered a half block
from the crime scene seeking answers as
to what happened.
Some heckled police.
“Do your job,” one man yelled.
Another bystander was wearing a
sweatshirt that read “R.I.P. Jose Manuel
Lopez” with a picture of the slain teen.
Bystanders characterized the neigh-
borhood as being filled with gang activ-
ity. No one at the scene wanted to give
their names but some speculated that the
victims were all under 20 years old. A

Palace’s ownership by the state which
gives it ultimate authority.
In November, the venue’s board of
directors voted to discontinue the parties
indefinitely.
Ma now argues controlling the events
require more than localized ordinances
and permit processes.
“Raves are a statewide problem and
require a statewide approach,” Ma said in
a prepared statement. “It’s time that the

particularly hot at the Burlingame store.
Roa likes the framed autographed orange
Posey jersey featuring a World Series
patch. It’s still up for grabs, but that may
be due to the $800 price tag. Smaller
shadow box collectibles with photos and
baseballs are available for a more afford-
able price, but Lincecum and Posey ones
aren’t in stock.
Chris Scerri, co-owner of ManCave
Memorabilia in San Mateo, said it’s all
about autographs.
“The thing about memorabilia is when
stuff is replaceable — like a photo that
you can make a thousand copies of —
you’ll be able to keep replacing it. And
those items are selling like crazy. With
autographs there’s less of a supply,” he
said.

of course, are the top seller along with

pattern of fostering youth drug use.”
Daly City Councilman David Canepa
said he supports anything that makes the
Cow Palace safer but thinks Ma’s bill isn’t
the best method.
“I’m delighted that the assemblywoman
is taking up the issue but I do think we
need to give local control. What that will
then do is the give the police chief the
opportunity to present his case on why it
works or won’t, whether it should be
approved or not,” Canepa said.
Canepa authored an ordinance requiring
the police chief to approve promoters who
would pay a public safety fee for added
law enforcement and absorb any other
costs for police and fire if another incident
ends poorly. He also put an age limit of 18
on these types of events.
Canepa’s opinion of local versus state
control was echoed by state Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, who
himself called for action after each fatality
said. “We want to save lives.”
His two sisters, Mackenzie and
Nicole, stood by their parents as they
offered support for Hill’s legislation.
“It took the loss of Brett to expose the
loophole,” Hill said.
Belmont Police Chief Don Mattei,
who also heads the San Mateo County
Chiefs’ and Sheriff’s Association,
offered support for the bill and said
locally, law enforcement was unaware
of the loophole in the law until now.

Alex Wintergerst.
Dugout jackets — the kind that will
keep baseball fans at AT&T Park warm
on a blustery summer night — are the
top seller. The $125 price tag hasn’t
deterred customers.
“Really people are looking for any-
thing heavier. Outerwear is just a hit,
especially with the colder weather,”
Wintergerst said.
While the warmer duds are a hit, it
seems to be mostly purchased for men.

at the Cow Palace.
Yee will review the proposal but a com-
plete ban is “likely not the answer”
because “raves themselves are not the
problem,” said spokesman Adam
Keigwin.
The real problem, he said, is what hap-
pens at raves that lack adequate health and
security workers. Like Canepa, Keigwin
said Yee believes cities and local law
enforcement should have oversight.
County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier has
also been an outspoken advocate for
change at the Cow Palace, which sits in
her district. She had yet to see Ma’s pro-
posal as of Wednesday and wasn’t ready to
comment, said spokesman Bill Chiang.
Cow Palace CEO Joseph Barkett could
not be reached for comment on Ma’s leg-
islation.
The bill, her first of the new legislative
session, is eligible for a committee hearing
in January.
Hill’s bill specifically calls for fines
starting at $2,000 for a first offense to be
imposed by the California Public
Utilities Commission against companies
that allow alcohol. Further violations
could result in license suspensions or
revocations. On a third offense, drivers
could face misdemeanor criminal
charges.
“Kids and the operators know the
loophole, understand it and are taking
advantage of it,” Hill said.

Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010
Someone who believes in you will put you onto to something
of significance that could turn out to be impressive. It is likely
to be a project that neither could do without the other, but
which teamwork will render a success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You’ll deliberately make it
a point to draw out others in order to make them feel impor-
tant, and that’s why friends will be thinking you’re a pretty
nifty person.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - For those of you who have
merely been killing time, come out of your playpen, turn off
the TV and do something constructive. You’ll feel a lot better
about yourself when not goofing off.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Instead of spending all your
time in your office or home, plan to get outside and see the
world around you. Even just running errands will refresh you
quite a bit.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Your perceptions regarding the
desires and requirements of the public will be right on target,
so if your work requires you to deal directly with the hoi pol-
loi, go ahead and make your points.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - When involved with others

thing more important to you than having the mobility and
freedom to do what you want. Avoid involvements that would
limit your independence, if you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - In most cases, it is foolhardy to
depend on a hunch or an intuitive feeling when it involves
something important. However, at this point there’s a good
chance that your impression could be right on the money.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Taking some kind of recreational
break could do you a world of good, even if it is just a short
timeout from work. It’ll serve to refresh you and give you
what you need to finish the job at hand.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - There is a good chance a new
responsibility will be dumped in your lap. Do your best,
because others will be observing how you handle things in
hopes you can fit into a larger position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You’re likely to have more

activity, it’ll put you in a bad mood. Keeping busy, however,
will serve to inspire you.

(a) Before the County contracts for

requests for proposals shall be ob-
