FOUR KILLED, MORE THAN 60 HURT IN CRASH
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If you drive by the Vendome in downtown
San Mateo, you probably cant tell many of
its 16 residents were longtime neighbors
whod been living out of shopping carts
and sleeping on benches in the nearby
streets.
The Vendome provides housing and case
management to help alleviate the problems
associated with individuals who have been
chronically homeless.
What started out as a pilot program, the
success of Vendome has inspired the county
to encourage similar facilities in other
cities, said Sandra Council, senior manage-
ment analyst for the citys Community
Development Department.
The high number of merchant com-
plaints, police and emergency calls related
to homeless individuals in downtown
encouraged a collaborative of the county,
city, nonprot social service providers and
the InnVision Shelter Network to form the
Homeless Outreach Team.
In 2007, the Redevelopment Agency pur-
chased the 100-year-old property at the cor-
ner of Second Avenue and Claremont Street.
With city, county, state and federal funds
remodeled the building, according to a staff
report. Per state requirements, the city is
now transferring ownership to InnVision,

Billy Hardwick after he threw his ball down
the lane in the mid-1960s, early in his career.
Legendary
determination
Billy Hardwick made his
mark on Peninsula bowling
By Kenny Martin
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
I got a sense Billy Hardwick was a man
who, once he set his mind to something,
would let nothing get in his way, said
Gianmarc Manzione, author of many bowl-
ing articles. When I nally met him in per-
son, how rapidly he spoke and walked rein-
forced this conception.
Billy Hardwick grew up on Casanova
Drive in San Mateo, just around the corner
from his best friend, Len Nicholson, and
mere minutes away from Bel Mateo Bowl, a
place where Hardwick would spend count-
less hours honing the skills that would one
day make him one of the greatest bowlers in
history before he died of a heart attack
Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013 at the age of 72.
Nicholson was a junior at Hillsdale High
School when he met Billy, who was a year
younger. Billy was very competitive, but he
wasnt very athletic. He tried out for the
football team, and the coach put the 5-foot-

Built in 1957 by the San Mateo
Investment Company, Bel Mateo Bowl is
one of the few bowling alleys up and run-
ning in the area. Located at 4330 Olympic
Ave. in San Mateo, Bel Mateo Bowl has 24
lanes and has league play six days a week.
Bel Mateo Bowl has survived while oth-
ers have not is because it caters to the
social aspect of the sport just as much as, if
not more than, the competitive groups.
The alley is also historic because it was
the home center of Professional Bowlers
Association legend Billy Hardwick, who
competed on tour in the 1960s and 1970s
and is considered one of the all-time greats
of the sport. Hardwick died Nov. 16 at the
age of 72.
I dont know how to capture Hardwick in
a sentence, said Ray Mahaffay, a league
bowler at Bel Mateo Bowl since 1980.
There was no one greater on the Peninsula,
and there never will be.
Craig Gabriel, general manager of Bel
Mateo Bowl for the previous ve years,
said the alley is home to 900 league
bowlers and 300 senior bowlers, but the
center is more known for hosting bowling
parties and being a hangout spot than a
serious bowling establishment.
League bowlers dont talk about what
was shot, but rather they are more interest-
ed in how their friends are doing, Gabriel
said. The alley feels more like a home to
people. Were located in a safe area, so its
a good place to drop your kids off for an
afternoon.
Mahaffay said hes always meeting peo-
ple at Bel Mateo, even people who normal-

Hillsdale postpones
shopping center
renovation plans
Mall expansion halted for
further economic review
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Citing changing market conditions, the
Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo is
withdrawing large-scale renovation plans that
included a new Target store, open-air food court
and luxury cinema.
The center informed the city of San Mateo
last week it was temporarily suspending its
application to replace Sears with a 174,000-
square-foot, three-story Target; expand the
bridge across 31st Avenue for an open-air food
City seeks release
of autopsy photos
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The city of South San Francisco is taking
the county coroner to court over the autopsy
photos of a 15-year-old boy killed by a
police officer later cleared in the death but
sued civilly along with the city and police
chief.
The city is petitioning Coroner Robert
Foucrault to release the photos taken at his
autopsy arguing the condition of Derrick
Gaines body at the time of death will help
illustrate his contact with Officer Joshua
Cabillo and cause of death, according to court
documents. Ahearing is set for Dec. 19.

Topless barber charged
with unlicensed cosmetology
LONGMONT, Colo. A woman
who allegedly offered topless hair-
styling services in northern Colorado
faces criminal charges. But police say
the problem isn't cutting hair without
a top. It's cutting hair without a
license.
The Longmont Times-Call reports
46-year old Suzette Hall was arrested
Wednesday night on suspicion of prac-
ticing cosmetology without a license.
Hall's former partner says she adver-
tised $45 topless haircuts online.
According to the arrest warrant, the
former partner called police about the
topless styling because she "did not
believe this was safe or proper. "
Police weren't able to turn up any
Craigslist ads.
Hall's ex-husband told police she set
up shop in Loveland and offered serv-
ices as "Rebel Barber." He told police
she applied for "a nude license for hair-
stylists," but no such license exists.
Dog found under rubble
nine days after Illinois tornado
WASHINGTON, Ill. Asix-month-
old pit bull that was buried under a pile
of rubble for more than a week after a
tornado ripped through a central
Illinois city has been coaxed to free-
dom with hot dogs and reunited with
his owner.
Jacob Montgomery, a member of the
Illinois National Guard, was separated
from the dog, Dexter, when the Nov.
17 tornado destroyed his third-oor
apartment in Washington.
Montgomery combed through the
wreckage multiple times but turned up
no sign of Dexter.
Nine days after the storm, a neigh-
bor who was looking for his cat, also
missing, with the help of a group
called Rescuing Animals in Need sent
Montgomery a Facebook message to
tell him Dexter had been found partial-
ly buried in debris where the apartment
building used to stand.
"He said, `I've got your dog right
here,'" Montgomery recalled in a
statement released by the Illinois
National Guard. "As soon as Dexter
saw me, his tail started going."
The pooch was in relatively good
shape.
"The vet said he has no real injuries
- just a few scrapes and cuts," said
Montgomery, who got Dexter as a
puppy to keep him company when he
moved from Champaign. "He was mal-
nourished, but he's going to be ne."
The Washington tornado was part of
a band of heavy storms that brought
rain, high winds and a rash of twisters
to Illinois, and left seven people dead
in its wake.
Montgomery has been a military
police ofcer with the Illinois Army
National Guard for more than five
years and is trained to respond to emer-
gencies. But he says he's never been
the victim of such a disaster.
"All I had in my apartment is gone,
but my dog was all I really had to
worry about," he said.
Montgomery is staying with a
friend in nearby Peoria until he can
nd a new home.
Russia outraged by
giant Louis Vuitton suitcase
MOSCOW Politicians didn't like
it, the public didn't like it, so the
gigantic Louis Vuitton suitcase is
being booted out of Red Square.
The GUM department store on Red
Square, which is responsible for 30-
feet (nine meters) high and 100-feet
(30-meters) long construction, prom-
ised in a statement released Wednesday
that it would be dismantled.
Politicians and public alike con-
demned the exhibit, a stone's throw
from the tomb of communist leader
Vladimir Lenin. State news agencies
reported that the Kremlin had demand-
ed the removal of the display.
The construction is part of an exhi-
bition called "The Soul of Travel,"
marking Vuitton's 150th anniversary
and was to open on Dec. 2. Louis
Vuitton said the construction was a
copy of a model owned by a Russian
noble, Prince Vladimir Orlov.

T
he population of the United States in
1941 was 121 million. The U.S. Army
and Navy existed in a state of slow-
motion after World War I.
Very little innovation in tactics or purchas-
ing of modern equipment for the soldiers had
occurred. Leadership was lost in a time warp
and initiative was discouraged as rank in a
peace time army was frozen. For the average
soldier, life was nothing but drill, drill, drill. A
good overview of the state of the services was
depicted in the popular and successful movie
"From Here to Eternity. A book by Gordon
Prange, At Dawn We Slept The Untold Story
of Pearl Harbor, indicates even less subtly
what the United States was doing on Dec. 4,
1941.
At 6 a.m., Dec. 7, a mini-Japanese subma-
rine was sunk by depth charges in the entrance
of Pearl Harbor. The sub rolled over and sank.
The incident was reported to the
command post but no further action
was taken.
At 7 a.m., a mobile RADAR unit
on the west coast of Hawaii was
operating. The operator suddenly
noticed a number of what he thought
were airplanes moving from the
west to Hawaii. He alerted the com-
mand post that the planes appeared
to be 40 miles to the north and mov-
ing fast toward the island. The of-
cer in charge thought a couple of
seconds and then told the operator
to disregard the information as a
number of B17s from San Diego
were due in today and what he was
seeing was these planes (The B17s
were coming east from the United
States San Diego. These planes
were coming at 180 mph and from
the north).
The Japanese were angry and had
been for a number of years. The
United States had instituted an oil
embargo on Japan and restricted free
trade with them. Since 1931, Japan
had had designs on Manchuria and
began enlarging their empire by
engaging in a vicious war with
Manchuria. The United States want-
ed Japan to cease action there and the

Three arrested in connection
with drive-by shootings
MENLO PARK Police in
Menlo Park have arrested three sus-
pects in connection with a string of
recent drive-by shootings in the
area.
Around 6:55 p.m. Wednesday, a
police ofcer was on patrol near
Market Place and Del Norte Avenue
when he spotted a black Toyota
Avalon matching the description of a
suspect car involved in the recent
shootings, police said.
With the aid of other ofcers, he
stopped the suspect vehicle and
detained all three occupants two
juveniles and one man. Police said a
search of the car turned up three loaded
guns and additional ammunition.
The two juveniles were arrested
on suspicion of possession of a
concealed rearm, carrying a loaded
rearm in public and possession of
ammunition by a minor, according
to police.
Police said one of the juveniles
was also arrested for on suspicion
of assault with a deadly weapon and
shooting into an occupied dwelling
for his alleged involvement in a
shooting last Saturday in the 1300
block of Willow Road.
Both were taken to Hillcrest
Juvenile Detention Center in San
Mateo.
Police said the driver of the
Toyota Avalon, identied as 21-
year-old Erick Barragan of East Palo
Alto, was arrested on suspicion of
contributing to the delinquency of a
minor.
Barragan was turned over to East
Palo Alto police, who are investi-
gating his potential involvement
in a recent shooting in that city,
and was later taken to San Mateo
County Jail, police said.
An investigation into these sus-
pects and the recent series of shoot-
ings is ongoing.
Anyone with information about
these cases is asked to call Menlo
Park police at (650) 330-6300 or
the anonymous tip hotline at (650)
330-6395.
Libraries accept food for nes
San Mateo County residents
overdue library books will become
opportunities to help out hungry
families as the county library sys-
tem launches its Food for Fines
program.
Throughout December, San
Mateo County library patrons can
settle nes from overdue books or
DVDs with donations of non-per-
ishable food instead of cash,
according to library services per-
sonnel.
There is a growing need for feed-
ing the hungry in San Mateo
County, county Supervisor Carole
Groom said. This is a wonderful
opportunity to provide for those in
need in our community, while
clearing up fines and resuming
greater use of our outstanding
library system.
Groom encouraged anyone,
regardless of whether they owe
library nes, to donate food at their
local library to help needy families
this holiday season.
The Food for Fines program is a
partnership among the county
board of supervisors, the Daly City,
Redwood City, San Mateo and San
Mateo County libraries and the
Second Harvest Food Bank.
Last year, the food drive netted
25,331 pounds of food
enough to feed 1,053 families
for a week, according to county
library personnel.
The program also earned the San
Mateo County Library the Second
Harvest Food Banks Outside the
Barrel award, which recognizes
innovative and creative food drive
efforts.

Japanese ignored these messages. Japan was
not to be dictated by what they believed to be a
"colonial power like the United States. They
began planning to do something drastic to the
United States for meddling in their affairs.
At 7:40 a.m., 183 Japanese "Zeros and
"Kates (bombers) began bombing Battleship
Row in Pearl Harbor. The enemy had been prac-
ticing this maneuver for more than a year.
Their torpedoes had been modied to stay near
the surface of the 30-35 foot deep bay and each
ship had been assigned to a crew of yers to
torpedo. The rst battleship hit was the USS
Utah. The second ship hit was the Helena, fol-
lowed by the Oglala (a minesweeper). Within
ve minutes, ries and machine guns began
being used to shoot at the clearly marked
Japanese airplanes, followed by ach-ach guns.
At 8:05 a.m., the battleship Arizona was hit
by an armor piercing bomb, followed by a sec-
ond hit at 8:06 a.m. It sank in 11 minutes with
1,177 lives lost.
Carnage was everywhere. Ships were sink-
ing and the Japanese planes were having a
"turkey shoot. How had the airplanes gotten to
Pearl Harbor? Simple for the Japanese. They
achieved what the United States had thought
was impossible, the Japanese had sailed unde-
tected in six aircraft carriers for 10 days from
Japan, across the Pacic in strict radio silence
and less than 200 miles from Hawaii. In the
rst 15 minutes of the rst wave attack, after
arriving at Wheeler Air Base, the Japanese
planes destroyed the U.S. air eet.
At 8:35 a.m., the rst wave of Japanese
planes began returning to their carriers after
damaging, sinking or destroying eight battle-
ships at Ford Island. At 8:55 a.m., the second
wave of planes began their carnage and were
instructed to look for targets of opportunity
they had missed in the rst wave. The
Americans were able to muster up six ghter
planes by now and began engaging in dog-
ghts. The B-17s arrived and were being
attacked. The B-17s were not armed and most
were destroyed almost immediately (The
Japanese lost 29 planes in the attacks). The
Japanese, however, suffered much more dam-
age in the second wave of attacks as the
Americans were now prepared and more deadly
in their defense.
It is ironic that many Japanese thought they
should uphold conventions of war by sending
a note declaring their intent of starting a war
with the United States. The Japanese had deliv-
ered half of a 14-page note to the U.S. ambas-
sador on Dec. 6, 1941 with intents of sending
the second half the next day Dec. 7. The
note informed the United States that peace
negotiations were at an end. The Japanese
leader, Yamamoto, felt that war should be
declared in these notes but he was overruled and
the Japanese declared war on the United States
the next day, after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The 14-page note was to have been delivered
30 minutes before the rst attack on Pearl
Harbor but the Japanese Embassy did not
deliver it until after the attack due to slow typ-
ing by their clerks.
By 10 a.m., the planes had returned to their
carriers and began preparing for a third strike.
The commander, however, began to review the
situation. He knew three U.S. carriers
(Enterprise, Lexington and Saratoga) were

STATE
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California
lawmakers and statewide elected
ofcials will have a little extra
cash in their pockets this holiday
season, with their paychecks set
to rise starting Sunday.
The annual increases of nearly
$5,000 for rank-and-le members
of the state Legislature and nearly
$9,000 for Gov. Jerry Brown were
approved by the California
Citizens Compensation
Commission in June, a decision
that reversed some of the cuts
made during the recession.
B r o w n s
salary will
increase to
$173,987, up
from $165,288
but still below
the high mark
of $212,179 in
2 0 0 8 .
L a wma k e r s
base pay will
rise to $95,291 a year from the
current $90,526, although most
lawmakers take home an addition-
al $30,000 a year in per diem pay-
ments and some receive additional
pay for leadership positions.
Even after the previous pay cuts,
California lawmakers remained
the highest paid in the nation.
Unlike their peers in some other
states, however, they do not
receive pensions. Many other
state legislatures also meet infre-
quently, or even every other year.
The California Legislature is in
session, generally, from January
to September.
The increase in pay comes as the
states independent legislative
analyst is projecting the state will
have annual operating surpluses
approaching $10 billion a year by
the 2017-18 scal year if current
spending polices and revenue
trends continue.
But analyst Mac Taylor also
urged state ofcials to devote new
revenue to paying down debt and
reigning in the spiraling costs of
retiree health care and pensions
for state workers.
The commissions vote in June
restored the wages for top elected
ofcials to 2011 levels, amount-
ing to a raise of slightly more
than 5 percent of current pay. The
panel also voted to have the state
contribute more to the cost of the
elected ofcials health care but
stopped short of restoring all the
cuts it previously made to health
benet s.
The commission previously cut
lawmakers pay by 18 percent,
eliminated the state-owned vehi-
cles given to legislators as a perk
and rolled back the rate of per diem
payments. Representatives of
both Democratic and Republican
legislative leaders noted that the
pay increases were only a partial
restoration of the previous cuts.
Just as he accepted the pay cut
ordered by the independent com-
mission set up by the voters, the
Speaker will accept the partial
restoration of the cut of his
salary, said Steven Maviglio, a
spokesman for Assembly Speaker
John Perez, D-Los Angeles, in an
email.

SACRAMENTO An ongoing federal
investigation of a California senator is
roiling the Democratic leadership in
Sacramento and threatens to complicate
relations in the majority party when law-
makers reconvene in January.
FBI agents raided the offices of Sen. Ron
Calderon in June, but the drama escalated
within the past month when the Los
Angeles-area lawmaker tried to tar his fel-
low Democrats after they stripped him of
his committee assignments and one called
for his resignation.
Calderon has denied allegations he took
money in return for promoting bills, but
some analysts say the inquiry could affect
the re-election chances for incumbent
Democrats next year.
Calderon has not been charged in the
federal investigation. In documents filed
last month in federal court, he said the raid
of his offices came after he refused FBI
requests to wear a recording device and act
as an informant against Senate President
Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento
and Sen. Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles,
both fellow Democrats.
Hes made a threat that politicians live
in glass houses, and hes trying to throw
his colleagues under the bus. Who knows
what lies ahead? said Rob Stutzman, a
Republican political consultant in
Sacramento. What does he know about
other members that at a minimum could
serve as an embarrassment to them?
De Leon, a top candidate to succeed
Steinberg as Senate leader, produced a let-
ter from federal prosecutors saying he is
considered a potential witness and is not a
target of the investigation at this time.
Steinberg said through a spokesman that
he has a similar letter but declined to
release it. Steinberg and de Leon declined
to comment for this story, although
Steinberg earlier said he thinks the politi-
cal fallout will be limited.
Im going to do everything I can to dif-
ferentiate the alleged conduct of one mem-
ber from the rest of the Senate, he said.
Calderons court filing came in response
to the leak of an FBI affidavit that alleges
he accepted $28,000 from a Long Beach
hospital executive to promote legislation
that would have benefited the hospital.
The affidavit, obtained by Al Jazeera
America, also claims the Montebello
Democrat took $60,000 from an undercov-
er FBI agent posing as the owner of a Los
Angeles movie company in return for the
senators efforts to expand tax credits for
the film industry. Both legislative efforts
failed.
What happens next depends largely on
federal prosecutors, who are not comment-
ing beyond saying that an investigation is
underway into the leak of a sealed affi-
davit.
Ongoing FBI probe could
have fallout for Democrats
LOS ANGELES Dozens of ofcers hired
by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department several years ago had histories
of serious misconduct, including battery and
soliciting a prostitute, a newspaper reported
Sunday.
In 2010, the department hired 280 ofcers
from the Office of Public Safety, a Los
Angeles County police force that was being
dissolved to save money. Most of the hires
became sworn sheriffs deputies; others
took lower-level positions such as security
guards.
Background investigators who checked
out the applicants found evidence of dishon-
esty for nearly 100 people who eventually
became part of the department, the Los
Angeles Times reported . Not all of the alle-
gations had been proven, and not all were
work related.
In all, 29 new ofcers either had been red
or pressured to resign from other law
enforcement agencies.
The sheriffs department is the nations
largest. It has been under re for alleged
abuse of inmates by deputies, among other
claims.
The newspapers report was based on
internal les and follow-up interviews. The
les included information from sources such
as past employers and romantic partners.
Some of the hires disputed what their les
said. Others said the incidents happened
years ago and did not reect their current
qualications.
Sheriff Lee Baca did not comment on the
specic ndings; a department spokesman
said Baca was unaware that new hires had
troubled backgrounds.
In the past, Baca told reporters for the
newspaper that there is no room in law
enforcement for people with records of vio-
lence or dishonesty, and that applicants
red from other agencies should not receive
a second chance.
The department has said it would review
whether some of the hires were improper. It
also launched a criminal probe to try to nd
who leaked the les. The union representing
deputies unsuccessfully asked a court to block
publication of information from the les.
In hiring ofcers with histories of mis-
conduct, the department risks undermining
its integrity, one former sheriffs depart-
ment commander said.
Cops are held to a higher standard than
the average member of society because
weve got to be able to trust them, said
Edward Rogner, who was involved in
expanding the force with new hires the
Ofce of Public Safety, though not in indi-
vidual hiring decisions.
Department guidelines give wide latitude
in hiring, the paper reported. One person
involved in the 2010 round of hiring
Larry Waldie, who is now
retired but at the time was
Bacas second-in-command
cited signicant pressure
from the county Board of
Supervisors and other offi-
cials to give the county of-
cers new jobs.

NEWYORK ANew York City
commuter train rounding a river-
side curve derailed Sunday, killing
four people and injuring more than
60 in a crash that threw passengers
from the toppling cars and left a
snaking chain of twisted wreckage
just inches from the water.
Some of the roughly 150 pas-
sengers on the early morning
Metro-North train from
Poughkeepsie to Manhattan were
jolted from sleep around 7:20 a.m.
to screams and the frightening
sensation of their compartment
rolling over on a bend in the
Bronx where the Hudson and
Harlem rivers meet. When the
motion stopped, four or ve of the
seven cars had lurched off the rails.
It was the latest accident in a trou-
bled year for the nations second-
biggest commuter railroad, which
had never experienced a passenger
death in an accident in its 31-year-
history.
Four people lost their lives
today in the holiday season, right
after Thanksgiving, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo said at a news conference.
Eleven of the injured were believed
to be critically injured and another
six seriously hurt, according to the
Fire Department.
The train operator was among
the injured, Cuomo said.
The governor said the track did
not appear to be faulty, leaving
speed as a possible culprit for the
crash. But he noted that the
National Transportation Safety
Board would determine what hap-
pened. The Federal Railroad
Administration was also sending
10 investigators to the scene.
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority Chairman Thomas F.
Prendergast said investigators
would look at numerous factors,
including the train, the track and
signal system, the operators and
speed.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Now you
have to pass through security to
leave the airport.
Futuristic unmanned portals have
replaced officers at the security
exits of two small Northeast air-
ports, adding a few seconds in a
bulletproof glass pod to the end of
every passengers trip.
The rounded exits at the Syracuse
and Atlantic City, N.J., airports
prevent passengers from back-
tracking into secure areas once they
exit the plane and keep outsiders
from entering through the exits.
Travelers step into the elevator-
sized cylinders and wait as a door
slides closed behind them. After a
couple of seconds, another door
opens in front with a female voice
coolly instructing, Please exit.
I dont understand those doors,
says Cindy Katz, of Jupiter, Fla.,
who came through the Atlantic City
airport for the Thanksgiving holi-
day. What are they supposed to
do? It slows everyone down.
They could be the wave of things
to come as the Transportation
Security Administration prepares
to shift exit-monitoring duties to
local airports next year as a way to
save $88.1 million. The doors
manufacturer, New York City-based
Eagle Security Group, Inc., says it
is in talks with other airports.
The technology saves airports
from having to put paid security
staff at the exit checkpoints.
Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey, who is pushing to keep the
TSA in charge of exit monitoring,
says such staffing could cost
Philadelphia International Airport
about $2 million a year.
Syracuse Aviation Commissioner
Christina Callahan, whose airport
installed eight portals this past fall
at a total cost of about $750,000,
says stafng each exit with a guard
would cost about $580,000 a year.
So when compared with the cost
to install the portals, they will
have paid for themselves and begin
saving the airport money in little
over a year, Callahan said.
Certainly funding is limited for
stafng, she said. Airports are
going to have to nd other ways to
keep up with mandates.
In Atlantic City, the manpower
savings from the por-
tals are estimated at
$300,000 a year, South
Jersey Transportation
Authority spokesman
Kevin Rehmann said.

SEOUL, South Korea North
Korea state media claimed Saturday
that an elderly U.S. tourist detained
for more than a month has apolo-
gized for alleged crimes during the
Korean War and for hostile acts
against the state during a recent trip.
North Korean authorities released
video showing 85-year-old Merrill
Newman, wearing glasses, a blue
button-down shirt and tan trousers,
reading his alleged apology, which
was dated Nov. 9 and couldnt be
independently conrmed.
Pyongyang has been accused of
previously coercing statements
from detainees. There was no way
to reach Newman and determine the
circumstances of the alleged confes-
sion. But it was riddled with stilted
English and grammatical errors, such
as I want not punish me.
I have been guilty of a long list
of indelible crimes against DPRK
government and Korean people,
Newman purportedly wrote in a four-
page statement, adding: Please for-
give me.
The statement, carried in the
Norths ofcial Korean Central
News Agency, said the war veteran
allegedly attempted to meet with
any surviving soldiers he had
trained during the Korean War to
ght North Korea, and that he admit-
ted to killing civilians and brought
an e-book criticizing North Korea.
DPRK stands for the Democratic
Peoples Republic of Korea, North
Koreas ofcial name.
It wasnt clear what would happen
to Newman now. But the statement
alleges that Newman says if he goes
back to the U.S. he will tell the truth
about the country a possible indi-
cation that Newman could be
released.
The apology can be seen as
Pyongyang taking steps needed to
release Newman, said Yoo Ho-Yeol,
a professor of North Korea studies at
Korea University in Seoul. North
Korea likely issued the confession
in the form of an apology to resolve
Newmans case quickly without
starting legal proceedings, Yoo
said.
North Korea is extremely sensi-
tive about any criticism and regular-
ly accuses Washington and Seoul of
seeking to overthrow its authoritar-
ian system through various means
claims the U.S. and South Korea
dismiss. The State Department has
repeatedly warned Americans about
traveling to the country, citing the
risk of arbitrary detention.
Newman, an avid traveler and
retired nance executive, was taken
off a plane Oct. 26 by North Korean
authorities while preparing to leave
the country after a 10-day tour. His
traveling companion seated next to
him, neighbor and former Stanford
University professor Bob Hamrdla,
was allowed to depart.
Newmans son, Jeffrey Newman,
said his father wanted to return to the
country where he spent three years
during the Korean War.
North Korea has detained at least
six Americans since 2009, includ-
ing two journalists accused of tres-
passing and several Americans,
some of whom are of Korean ances-
try, accused of spreading
Christianity. Kenneth Bae, a
Korean-American missionary and
tour operator, has been detained for
more than a year. North Korea sees
missionary work as a Western threat
to its authoritarian government.

CAIRO Police red tear gas to drive hun-
dreds of supporters of Egypts ousted Islamist
president from Cairos famed Tahrir Square on
Sunday, as a panel tasked with amending the
constitution adopted during his time in ofce
agreed on changes to the text.
The 50-member panel revising the
Islamist-tilted charter adopted under former
President Mohammed Morsi managed to
resolve its differences after two days of
clause-by-clause voting on the nal draft.
The text gives women and Christians
suitable representation but says a future
law must decide the details. It also calls for
elections, either parliamentary or presiden-
tial, within 90 days after the draft constitu-
tion is adopted. The other election should
be held up to six months later.
The new charter would require future presi-
dents to declare their nancial assets annu-
ally, and allows lawmakers to vote out an
elected president and call for early elections
if they have a two-thirds majority.
Members agreed that a contentious pro-
posed article allowing military tribunals for
civilians would be scaled back, allowing
them only in case of direct attack on mili-
tary personnel or assets.
Rights activists had previously objected
to the militarys trial of some 10,000 civil-
ians when it ran the country during the 17
months after Egypts 2011 revolt that oust-
ed longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
The document is now to be handed over to
interim President Adly Mansour, who has a
month to call for a nationwide referendum on it.
If adopted by the public, a giant step in
the roadmap announced by the military
when it removed Morsi last summer will
have been completed.
Morsi supporters have been staging near
daily protests to demand his reinstatement,
in Cairo and across much of the country. But
for hundreds of them to enter and take over
Tahrir, even briey as they did Sunday, con-
stituted a major, albeit symbolic, propa-
ganda coup for them. They would have
attracted many more like-minded protesters
had they been able to gain a solid foothold
in the square.
It was the rst time in more than a year
that Islamists entered the central square in
signicant numbers. The location has been
the near exclusive domain of liberal and sec-
ular protesters since shortly after Morsi
took ofce in June 2012 as Egypts rst
freely elected president.

BAGHDAD The number of Iraqis slain
execution-style surged last month, the
U.N. said Sunday, raising fears of a return of
the death squads that killed thousands during
the darkest days of sectarian violence that
followed the U.S.-led invasion.
The increase in targeted killings comes
even though the U.N. reported that the over-
all death toll for November dropped to 659,
compared with 979 in October. More than
8,000 people have been killed since the
start of the year.
In an example of other dangers facing
Iraqis, three bombs tore through the funeral
procession of the son of an anti-al-Qaida
Sunni tribal chief northeast of Baghdad, the
deadliest in a wave of attacks that killed 17
people Sunday, Iraqi ofcials said.
It seems that history is always repeating
itself in Iraq, said Qassim Haider, a Shiite
owner of a menswear shop in eastern
Baghdad. He said he has stopped accepting
invitations to visit friends in mainly Sunni
neighborhoods due to fears of violence.
Widespread chaos nearly tore the country
apart following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion
that ousted Saddam Hussein. The violence
ebbed in 2008 after a series of U.S.-Iraqi
military offensives, a Shiite militia cease-
re and a Sunni revolt against al-Qaida in
Iraq, but that trend was reversed after a dead-
ly April 23 crackdown by security forces on
a northern Sunni protest camp.
Iraqis have grown used to random explo-
sions, but the recent discoveries of bullet-
riddled bodies have many worried about a
long-feared resumption of all-out warfare
between Shiite and Sunni factions.

GLASGOW, Scotland Scotlands of-
cial holiday was transformed into a grim
day of mourning Saturday as emergency
crews searched the wreckage of a riverside
pub smashed by a falling police helicopter.
At least eight people died and more than a
dozen remained hospitalized with serious
injuries.
The Clutha, a popular Glasgow pub, was
lled with revelers enjoying a local ska
band on Friday night, the eve of St.
Andrews Day, named for the patron saint of
Scotland and which is normally a celebra-
tion of Scottish culture and heritage.
Instead, Scotlands leader ordered ags at
government buildings to be lowered to
half-staff after the tragedy.
This is a black day for Glasgow and
Scotland, but its also St. Andrews Day,
and its a day we can take pride and courage
in how we respond to adversity and
tragedy, Scottish First Minister Alex
Salmond said.
There may be more bad news. Police said
a rescue and recovery operation is ongoing
and that it wasnt clear what will be found
once the aircrafts wreckage is removed.
The process may take days.
That means more waiting for people who
dont know if their loved ones were in The
Clutha at the fateful moment when the heli-
copter fell from the sky, directly hitting the
riverside drinking establishment.
Witnesses said it seemed to fall straight
down into the roof of the pub. The crash
Friday at around 10:30 p.m. sent dozens of
patrons eeing through a cloud of dust.
Witnesses spoke of people streaming out of
the building covered in blood, with gashes
and other injuries.

OPINION 9
Lies and more lies
Editor,
While we argue with ourselves about
whether the recent capitulation to
Irans nuclear ambitions was a good
idea, we miss the forest for the trees.
Its evident that the drama revealed
by the media at the UN a few months
back when President Obama supposed-
ly tried to call Iranian President
Rouhani as Rouhani was en route to
the airport and was rebuffed, was fraud-
ulent. The United States had been
secretly negotiating with Iran for
almost a year before that.
The deal negotiated by Iran is the
same as Irans opening position
sanctions relief and Irans recogni-
tion as a nuclear power. Iran still has
all of its centrifuges and all of its
machinery to continue its march
toward nuclear weapons. In exchange
for what? In exchange for the West
being allowed to inspect what Iran will
let us inspect? President Rouhani has
bragged about how he fooled the West
the last time it thought it had an agree-
ment about Iranian enrichment in
2005. He is doing it again.
So what did the United States accom-
plish in a year of negotiations with
Iran? Exactly nothing. And lets be
clear, Iran was not threatening to
attack us. The sanctions were doing
their job. The Obama administrations
position that the alternative to these
fraudulent negotiations was war is
another lie. Iran wouldnt have
attacked us or anybody else without
the nancial wherewithal or equip-
ment. Plain and simple the Obama
administration has repeatedly and
openly lied to us, and for what pur-
pose?

Floribunda intersection
Editor,
Thank you for your lead editorial in
the Nov. 27 edition of the Daily
Journal (Another meeting needed for
tree removal plan). The Daily Journal
asked the basic questions that any dili-
gent planner or citizen might have. To
reiterate: Is this about the Floribunda
Avenue intersection (as advertised) or
is it about changing the character of
El Camino Real? What is the accident
rate on Floribunda Avenue compared to
numerous other intersections on El
Camino Real from South San
Francisco to Santa Clara that Caltrans
also manages? What is it about the
Floribunda Avenue accidents that
implies that the only solution is to
add a lane? What are Caltrans plans
for El Camino Real at Burlingame
Avenue, Easton Drive and Hillside
Drive?
Either the Caltrans planners have
not thought these things through or
they have and dont want to talk.
Neither possibility suggests a good
outcome for Burlingame and
Hillsborough.

Private schools treated unfairly
Editor,
Private schools are at a severe disad-
vantage in the education marketplace.
Private schools wishing to build new
facilities to handle over-enrollment are
faced with obstacles which government
schools routinely overcome. Crystal
Springs Upland Schools effort to build
a middle school in Belmont is one
example (School buys property with
no guarantees in the Nov. 27 edition).
Aplan to add a gym to Charles
Armstrong School in Belmont is
another example. One need only look
at the relative ease with which the San
Mateo County Community College
District built its San Mateo Athletic
Club and Aquatic Center, and how the
huge performing arts centers at
Carlmont, Menlo-Atherton and San
Mateo high schools were built.
Another example of discrimination can
be found in Palo Alto where Castilleja,
an all-girls school, was ned $256,000
for having too many students.
Why dont we ne government
schools, whose class size reductions of
more than 30 percent, have resulted in
underutilized facilities, costing taxpay-
ers millions? If class size was returned
to historic levels, there would be a 30
percent surplus in classroom space,
which could be leased to private
schools.
Lets level the playing eld.

C
alifornia needs water systems
that are reliable even in dry
years. The threat of another
drought provides a clear reminder that
the state remains far from that goal,
however. Residents will need to boost
conservation efforts, to make more ef-
cient use of existing supplies.
But legislators also need to safeguard
the states primary water system and
boost water storage capacity.
The state Department of Water
Resources last week announced severely
limited projected water deliveries from
the State Water Project for 2014. The ini-
tial forecast says that water providers,
including the giant Metropolitan Water
District and the San Bernardino Valley
Municipal Water District, can expect to
receive just 5 percent of the 4.17 million
acre-feet of water they sought for next
year. An acre-foot is about enough water
to supply two families for a year.
The amount of water available could
increase if winter storms provide more
precipitation, of course. The state fore-
cast a 5 percent allocation in 2010, as
well, but eventually boosted deliveries
to 50 percent of the water that agencies
wanted. But the rst 10 months of this
year have been the driest since 1895,
according to the National Climatic Data
Center. And water levels in many of the
states big reservoirs remain below his-
torical averages.
But California needs a more depend-
able approach to water than hoping for
wet weather. State and regional water
ofcials last month urged Californians
to curb their water use, to help ease the
strain on water supplies. Boosting con-
servation is one of the most effective
ways for average Californians to help
avoid water shortages, and many resi-
dents have already cut the amount of
water they use.
Legislators, however, also need to act
to protect the state against droughts.
That effort should start by ensuring the
reliability of water exports from
Northern California. Water that ows
through the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta serves two-thirds of the states
population and irrigates millions of
acres of farmland.
But the deltas environmental ills have
already prompted periodic cutbacks in
water exports. And the estuary is ringed
with deteriorating levees that could col-
lapse in an earthquake. The states most
promising approach is to channel water
exports around the troubled delta, but
whatever solution emerges, the state can-
not afford to lose a supply of water that
much of California depends upon.
The state also needs to increase water
storage capacity. Long-range forecasts pre-
dict the state could increasingly get more win-
ter rain and less snow, requiring California to
catch and store more winter runoff to get
through the hot summer months.
Paying for such improvements will
also require legislators to craft a more
realistic water bond, instead of the bloat-
ed $11.1 billion measure now on the
2014 ballot. Legislators should strip
away the pork projects, focus the spend-
ing on the states crucial water needs and
keep the cost as low as possible.
Making sure the state has enough
water requires dedicated effort, careful
planning and political will. If that chal-
lenge seems too daunting, consider the
alternative: a thirsty state increasingly
hobbled by water shortages.
Take steps to help guard against drought
Young, healthy
and uninsured
I
, too, was in that group of young adults who had no
health insurance at work and never thought much
about it until one day when I was hospitalized for
minor surgery and couldnt afford the bill. It was thou-
sands of dollars for just an overnight stay. Abargain at
todays prices. But for me at that time it was overwhelm-
ing and what was worse, demeaning. I prided myself on
being nancially independent but now I had to call my
father to ask him to pay my bill. Luckily, I had parents
who could and would. I understand why so many in their
20s feel invulnerable and how dangerous that feeling can
be. Fortunately for young people today, they can remain
covered by their parents insurance until they are 26,
thanks to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
One would think this act which provides health cover-
age to those who cannot
afford private insurance and
ensures that the most vul-
nerable with pre-existing
conditions cannot be
dumped by insurance com-
panies would be welcome
news. It also means people
without insurance will not
head to the emergency
room for their routine
health care very expen-
sive and inefcient.
Instead, many of the people
who have a health safety
net (Medicare) and/or an
insurance policy which
protects them and they can
afford are being selsh when they rally to undo
Obamacare. Or maybe just hoodwinked by tea-party con-
servatives and go-along Republicans.
One would think with all the venom spouting forth that
the state of health coverage in this country is excellent,
or very good, or at least OK and does not need changing.
But it turns out compared to other industrialized countries,
it is not. We pay more but are less healthy than those
countries which already have in place universal health
care. That would include Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom. According to an
international survey by the Commonwealth Fund, by
virtually all measures of cost, access to care and ease of
dealing with insurance problems, Americans fared poorly
compared with people in other advanced countries (New
York Times editorial, Nov. 18, 2013). The United States
spends more per capita and as a percentage of the national
economy than do these other nations. Some 37 percent
of American adults went without recommended care, did
not see a doctor when sick or failed to ll prescriptions in
the past year because of costs. ... Nearly a quarter of
American adults could not pay medical bills or had serious
problems paying them. ... Americans who were insured for
the entire year were more likely than adults abroad to
forgo care because of costs, an indication of how skimpy
some insurance policies are. And some 32 percent of
consumers spent a lot of time on insurance paperwork or
in disputes with their insurer over denials of payment for
services they thought were covered. Time magazine
points out there is a larger problem for the country if
Obamacares ills metastasize. The glee of the laws oppo-
nents masks the reality that failure would leave behind a
country that pays too much and gets too little from its
health care system, whose costs, at nearly 18 percent of
GDP, limit Americas ability to grow and invest and com-
pete globally.
***
Its been very tough to pass universal health care in our
country because of the power of special interests. ACAi s
the result of political and nancial compromise. It is a pri-
vate enterprise solution to universal health care by giving
insurance companies the major role. They expect to contin-
ue making big prots. In return for providing more care,
insurers need healthy people in the pool. And more compa-
nies sharing the burden. Asingle payer system like
Medicare, a government program, would have been easier
to implement but there were not enough votes in Congress.
As the Times concluded, however imperfect, the Affordable
Care Act is needed to bring the dysfunctional American
health care system up to levels already achieved in other
advanced nations.

And by the way, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a major
opponent, does not need the Affordable Care Act. Neither
does he need Congress excellent health insurance plan. He
and his family are covered by his wifes platinum health
plan. Her employer is Goldman Sachs.

One look at the lackluster gains of real
estate mutual funds this year might give the
impression that commercial property own-
ers are struggling through a relapse of their
post-nancial crisis woes.
But demand for ofce, retail and other com-
mercial real estate has been steadily improving
along with the economy, boosting occupancy
and rental rates for many owners. And many
economists project more of the same next year.
Even so, a surge in interest rates this sum-
mer and concern they could increase further
next year has spooked investors, dampening
the funds returns. Real estate sector equity
funds have delivered an average total return
of 1.93 percent so far this year, trailing only
precious metals equity funds, according to
Morningstar.
The funds, which are often comprised
largely of real estate investment trusts hold-
ing commercial properties, are still up an
average of nearly 6.1 percent from a year ago
and have delivered an annualized return of
19.3 percent over the past ve years.
Still, the slide in real estate funds repre-
sents a buying opportunity for investors
who think that the market has already fac-
tored in a further rise in interest rates.
REITs are nally looking fairly valued,
said Abby Woodham, fund analyst at
Morningstar. They could, of course, go
down further, but the valuation is much more
attractive now than it has been for quite
some time, so its not all doom and gloom.
What remains to be seen is how the market
weighs the positive growth trends in com-
mercial real estate against the risk of interest
rates rising further.
Interest rates began rising in May on spec-
ulation that the Federal Reserve was prepar-
ing to pull back on its economic stimulus,
which includes $85 billion in monthly bond
purchases to keep interest rates low. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose from
1.63 percent at the start of May to nearly 3
percent by early September.
But the central bank surprised investors in
mid-September when it said that it wanted to
see more evidence of improvement in the
economy, and it decided to maintain its bond
purchases. The central bank meets again in
December, but most economists dont expect
any changes in the bond program until
March. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
ended trading at 2.75 percent on Friday.
Real estate funds tend to be popular among
investors looking to diversify their portfolio
with holdings that traditionally are not tied to
the performance of the stock market.
Rising interest rates
weigh on real estate

WASHINGTON The worst of the online
glitches, crashes and delays may be over for
the problem-plagued government health care
website, the Department of Health and
Human Services said Sunday.
But that doesnt mean HealthCare.gov is
ready for a clean bill of health.
Ofcials acknowledged more work remains
on the website that included hundreds of soft-
ware bugs, inadequate equipment and inef-
cient management for its national debut two
months ago. Federal workers and private
contractors have undertaken an intense
reworking of the system, but the White
Houses chief troubleshooter cautioned some
users could still encounter trouble.
The bottom line HealthCare.gov on
Dec. 1 is night and day from where it was on
Oct. 1, Jeff Zients told reporters.
More than 50,000 people can log on to the
website at one time and more than 800,000
people will be able to shop for insurance
coverage each day, the government estimat-
ed in a report released Sunday. If true, its a
dramatic improvement from the systems
rst weeks, when frustrated buyers watched
their computer screen freeze, the website
crash and error messages multiply.
The gures which could not be inde-
pendently veried suggest millions of
Americans could turn to their laptops to
shop for and buy insurance policies by the
Dec. 23 deadline.
Theres not really any way to verify from
the outside that the vast majority of people
who want to enroll can now do so, but well
nd out at least anecdotally over the coming
days if the system can handle the trafc and
provide a smooth experience for people try-
ing to sign up, said Larry Levitt, a senior
adviser at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
But, he added, HealthCare.gov is clearly
working better than when it first went
online. Its challenge now is to convince
users who were frustrated during their rst
visit to give it another chance.
Politically, a xed website could also offer
a fresh start for President Barack Obama and
his fellow Democrats after a wave of bad pub-
licity surrounding the presidents chief
domestic achievement.
This website is technology. Its going to
get better. Its already better today, said
Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat
who is a co-chairman of the liberal
Congressional Progressive Caucus. And
were only going to be working out more
kinks as we go forward.
HealthCare.gov was envisioned as the prin-
cipal place for people in 36 states to buy
insurance under Obamas health care law. But
its rst few weeks were an embarrassment for
the administration and its allies.
Obama set Saturday as the deadline to x
several signicant problems and the admin-
istration organized a conference call with
reporters Sunday morning to boast that 400
technical problems had been resolved.
Ofcials, however, declined to say how many
items remain on the to-do list.
Even with the repairs in place, the site still
wont be able to do everything the adminis-
tration wants, and companion sites for small
businesses and Spanish speakers have been
delayed. Questions remain about the stabili-
ty of the site and the quality of the data it
delivers to insurers.
The security of this site and the private
information does not meet even the minimal
standards of the private sector, and that con-
cerns me, said Rep. Mike Rogers, the
Michigan Republican who leads the House
intelligence panel. I dont care if youre for
it or against it, Republican or Democrat, we
should not tolerate the sheer level of incom-
petence securing this site.
Obama promised a few weeks ago that
HealthCare.gov will work much better on
Nov. 30, Dec. 1, than it worked certainly on
Oct. 1. But, in trying to lower expectations,
he said he could not guarantee that 100 per-
cent of the people 100 percent of the time
going on this website will have a perfectly
seamless, smooth experience.
Obama rightly predicted errors would
remain. The department reported the website
was up and running 95 percent of the time
last week meaning a 1-in-20 chance
remains of encountering a broken website.
The government also estimated that pages
crashed at a rate less than once every 100
clicks.
Yes, there are problems, said Rep. Chris
Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat
on the House Budget Committee. Theres no
denying that. Lets work to x them.
The nations largest health insurer trade
group said signicant problems remain and
could be a barrier for consumers signing up
for coverage effective Jan. 1.
HealthCare.gov and the overall enroll-
ment process continue to improve, but there
are signicant issues that still need to be
addressed, said Karen Ignagni, president and
CEO of Americas Health Insurance Plans.
Republicans, betting frustration about the
health care law is their best bet to make
gains in 2014s congressional and guberna-
torial elections, continued their criticism of
the system.
I dont know how you x it, Ill be hon-
est, said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. I dont
know how you x a program that was put
together in this manner with only one side of
the aisle, and taking the shortcuts were tak-
ing to put it in place.
Officials: Worst tech bugs over for Healthcare.gov

NEWYORK Did stores shoot themselves
in the foot?
Target, Macys and other retailers offered
holiday discounts in early November and
opened stores on Thanksgiving Day. It was
an effort to attract shoppers before Black
Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that tradi-
tionally kicks off the holiday shopping sea-
son.
Those tactics drew bigger crowds, but failed
to motivate Americans to spend.
Arecord 141 million people are expected to
shop in stores and online over the four-day
Thanksgiving weekend that ends Sunday, up
from last years 137 million, according to the
results of a survey of nearly 4,500 shoppers
conducted for The National Retail Federation.
But total spending is expected to fall for the
rst time ever since the trade group began
tracking it in 2006, according to the survey
that was released on Sunday. Over the four
days, spending fell an estimated 2.9 percent
to $57.4 billion.
Shoppers, on average, are expected to
spend $407.02 during the four days, down 3.9
percent from last year. That would be the rst
decline since the 2009 holiday shopping sea-
son when the economy was just coming out of
the recession.
The survey underscores the challenges
stores have faced since the recession began in
late 2007. Retailers had to offer deep dis-
counts to get people to shop during the down-
turn, but Americans still expect those 70
percent off signs now during the uneven eco-
nomic recovery.
Stores may have only exacerbated that
expectation this year. By offering bargains
earlier in the season, it seems theyve created
a vicious cycle in which theyll need to con-
stantly offer bigger sales to get people to
spend. Thats because shoppers who took
advantage of holiday deals before
Thanksgiving may have deal fatigue and are
cautious about buying anything else unless
its heavily discounted.
The economy spoke loud and clear over the
past few days, said Brian Sozzi, CEO and
chief equities strategist at Belus Capital
Advisors. We are going to see an increase in
markdowns.
Matthew Shay, president and CEO of The
National Retail Federation, said that the sur-
vey results only represent one extended week-
end in what is typically the biggest shopping
period of the year. The combined months of
November and December can account for up to
40 percent of retailers revenue.
Overall, Shay said the trade group still
expects sales for the combined two months to
increase 3.9 percent to $602.1 billion. Thats
higher than the 3.5 percent pace in the previ-
ous year.

but spending on the decline

SHP back in
CCS D IV final
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After Sacred Heart Prep head football coach Pete
Lavorato was done handing out praise following his
teams 34-7 win over No. 5 Monterey Saturday after-
noon, he gave his players a very simple message: We
are where we want to be, he said.
The Gators are where every team wants to be right
about now, heading into a practice week with a chance at
capturing back-to-back Central Coast Section champi-
onships when the weekend rolls around. The Gators
return to the Division IV main stage next Saturday with
an opportunity to defend their DIV title. And next
Saturday at Independence High School against Pacic
Grove marks the fourth time in six years SHP will play
for a CCS championship.
You never know whats going to happen, Lavorato
said when asked if a spot in the 2013 championship
game was something he expected when the new season
began. You never know if the junior class is going to
mature quickly enough. We have three sophomores that
start. You just dont know. As the year went on, I started
thinking, you know what? This could be a darn good
football team. And it is.
Its a football team that right now is playing at a very
high level on both sides of the football. Against
Monterey on Saturday, the Gators put up 482 yards of
offense 360 of which came via a physical rushing
attack. Defensively, SHP held the Toreadores to just 126
yards and just one third-quarter touchdown. The domina-

Huber, and its a big hit.
Hubers hang time took center stage as the
Menlo girls volleyball team advanced to
the Division IVstate nal four. The Knights
dominated Round II of the Nor Cal playoffs
Saturday at Menlo with a clean sweep of
Hilmar 25-10, 25-11, 25-19.
No, Hubers hang time isnt a TV show.
Its a live showcase of the West Bay Athletic

was primed for the spotlight Saturday night.

to front another near awless all-around per-

bunch can contribute. We have so many dif-
ferent offensive weapons and some great

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.

Florida St, Ohio St
take top 2 spots in BCS
Florida State and Ohio State are in posi-
tion to play for the BCS national champi-
onship, though Auburn and Missouri are
close enough behind in the BCS standings
to put pressure on the Buckeyes.
The Seminoles grabbed the top spot in
the BCS standings released Sunday after
Alabama relinquished it for the rst time
this season.
The Crimson Tides wild 34-28 loss at
Auburn dropped Alabama to fourth. Ohio
State is second and Auburn is third. Missouri
is fth. Auburn and Missouri play in the
Southeastern Conference championship
game Saturday in Atlanta. The winner
should get a boost in the standings, but it
might not be enough to catch the unbeaten
Buckeyes.
Ohio State (12-0) faces Michigan State,
10th in the latest standings, in the Big Ten
championship game Saturday in
Indianapolis.
Florida State is rst in both the USA
Today coaches poll and Harris poll, and
rated No. 1 in the compilation of six com-
puter rankings used in the BCS standings.
The Seminoles .9948 BCS average
makes them a lock to get to the title game in
Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 6 if they can beat
Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference
championship game Saturday.
The Buckeyes (.9503) are second in the
polls and second in the computers. Auburn
(.9233) is third in each. Missouri (.8428) is
fth in each.
But each of those SEC Tigers is 11-1.
Ohio State is riding a 24-game winning
streak.
team so special.
Menlo (27-5) has dropped just one set
through five postseason games. And
Saturday, it was clear from the outset that
the Knights have no intention of letting up.
Menlo tabbed 19 team kills in the opening
set, eight of which came from the hot hand
of Huber.
I think, honestly, (we sensed victory)
from the very beginning, Huber said. We
were really excited. We had some really
good fans here. I think we came in con-
dent, not cocky, and we played our game
well.
But once again, senior Melissa Cairo
proved to be the David among Menlos
Goliath team. The star libero immediately
set the tone by ripping six service points to
open the match. Cairo went on to serve 18
for 22 in the match with four aces, and on
defense tabbed 23 digs.
I thought we did well, Menlo head coach
Steve Cavella said. I thought Melissa did a
great job. I thought [Hilmar] had a lot of
trouble passing, and we served the right
spots and took advantage of it.
Huber and Cairo are a solid pairing as the
two have played together since they were
13-year-olds with the prestigious Vision
Gold club team. According to Cairo, it was
Huber who sold her on Menlo when she was
deliberating which high school to attend
during the spring of her eighth-grade year.
Cairo, who had her heart set on playing
basketball, was considering Pinewood,
Sacred Heart, and Menlo. And in March
2009, on the night before she had to com-
mit, she returned home from a movie and
got a call from Huber which convinced
Cairo to play volleyball at Menlo.
Shes the person that convinced me to
come here, Cairo said. I knew there was
going to be a pretty good team here, so that
was always nice. But she called me up and
said: I dont want to go alone! And I was
like: OK!
Since that time, Cairo has watched her
longtime teammate develop one of the most
majestic vertical jumps in San Mateo
County volleyball.
(Huber is) denitely one of the best,
Cairo said. We all train really hard in the
offseason but I know shes lifting the
most in the weight room, for sure. Shes
really setting the tone for the rest of the
team on that. She denitely has a pretty big
vertical.
And Hubers vertical hang time was just
too much for Hilmar to handle Saturday.
In Game 1, Menlo cruised to a big lead
behind Cairos service run. The Knights
found another gear on the sixth point of the
6-0 run when Cairo delivered a highlight-
reel worthy diving pancake dig to preserve
the rally, before a barrage of Menlo shot
attempts was punctuated by a Huber kill to
win the point. Senior middle blocker
Morgan Dressel scored ve set kills and
paced the Knights early blocking prowess.
In Game 2, Menlo forced a quick side-out
then jumped out to a 5-0 lead on a four-point
service run by Elisa Merten. The junior set-
ter also tabbed a match-high 38 assists. The
backline defense of Cairo and senior Maddy
Frappier held steady throughout the set.
Cairo went on a four-point service run to end
it, while Frappier nished with a left-side
kill.
In Game 3, Hilmar scored the opening
point to hold its only lead of the match, but
Menlo quickly gained the advantage and
never again trailed. The many Hilmar fans
who travelled two hours to Menlo nally
got a chance to make some noise when an
ace by Trans Valley League MVP Emily
Baptista tied it 17-17. But Menlo went on a
convincing 8-3 run to nish it.
With the loss, Hilmar (37-8) closes the
greatest season in school history with its
rst ever appearance in the Nor Cal play-
offs. Hilmar head coach Patti Harris, who as
a collegian played at Menlo College and
San Francisco State, said Menlo plays like a
machine.
This (Hilmar) team, its unfortunate you
didnt get a chance to see what they really
can do, Harris said. I just didnt know what
to do for them up to a certain point. This
team has done a lot. Its actually a team of
nine (players), not 13 (as is listed on the
roster). I have four J.V. girls that I moved
up. Were nine and theyve done so many
great things.
With the win, the Knights advance to the
Nor Cal nals, hosting Sonora, Tuesday at 7
p.m. The winner advances to Saturdays
state nals at Santiago Canyon College to
play the victor of the So Cal nals between
Francis Parker and Saddleback Valley
Christian.

MENLO ATHLETICS
Maddie Huber goes up for a kill in Menlos win.
Sports Brief
tion extended past the stat sheet, actu-
ally with several bone-jarring hits
by the Gator defense.
There was no denying them,
Lavorato said. They just willed the
victory. Both sides of the ball I
thought played great. The defense was
outstanding. Again, seven points to
Monterey? Theyre a good football
team. Not only did we not let them
score much, they hardly could move
the ball on us. It was unbelievable.
The game plan was fantastic. The kids
did their jobs.
It was a complete football clinic by
the Gators from start to nish. After
holding Monterey on its rst drive,
SHP went 82 yards on seven plays for
its rst score a 3-yard touchdown
run by Andrew Segre who posted a
124-yard performance on the after-
noon.
Segre headlined a rushing attack that
also featured Chris Lee, Ricky Grau, JR
Hardy and a possessed Ben Burr-
Kirven, who saw more time in the
backeld on Saturday and racked up
110 yards and three touchdowns on for
the game his rst made it 14-0 with
3:36 left in the half.
Up by two touchdowns at halftime,
Burr-Kirven made it a three-score game
with 66-yard run over the left side less
than two minutes into the third quarter.
Hardys 4-yard run a a little more
than ve minutes after that put SHP up
by four scores.
Monterey pulled a touchdown back
with less than two minutes left to play
in the third period. But ttingly, Burr-
Kirven put the nail in the cofn with
an 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth
quarter that capped a 14-play, 86-yard,
8-minute drive. It was one of the more
impressive Burr-Kirven performances
of the season. Not only did he run all
over Monterey, he also ew all over
the eld from his linebacker position
and racked up 13 tackles.
I think it tells people that Sacred
Heart Prep is for real, Lavorato said.
I think that this kind of victory,
against a good football team, tells
everyone, hey, those guys can play.
CCS OPEN DIVISION
SERRA 28, BELLARMINE 17
The Serra Padres overcame a 17-14
halftime decit and shutout nemesis
Bellarmine College Prep in the second
half to advance to the CCS Open
Division Championship game against
Archbishop Mitty. The title game, to
be played Friday night at San Jose
City College, marks the rst time the
Padres have played in the Open
Divisions championship game.
The win over the Bells served as a bit
of revenge after Bellarmine knocked
Serra out of the playoffs the last two
seasons.
Touchdown runs in the second half
by Kava Cassidy and Matt Faaita were
the difference in the game.

SACRAMENTO Stephen Curry
made two free throws with 8.6 seconds
left and had 12 of his 36 points in the
fourth quarter, helping the Golden
State Warriors beat the Sacramento
Kings 115-113 on Sunday.
Curry made ve 3-pointers and also
added 10 assists for the Warriors, who
had lost two straight and ve of six.
Klay Thompson connected on a
career-high eight 3-pointers and
scored 28 points for Golden State.
Harrison Barnes and David Lee had 11
points for the Warriors, who ended a
four-game road trip with a 2-2 record.
In foul trouble throughout,
DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points in
just over 20 minutes. Marcus Thornton
scored all of his 21 points in the sec-
ond half for the Kings, who have
dropped four straight and are now 3-7
at home.
Isaiah Thomas had 19 points and
eight assists, but also committed
seven of Sacramentos season-high 24
turnovers. Patrick Patterson scored 18
points and Jason Thompson added 10.
After Currys free throws, Andrew
Bogut blocked a driving layup by
Thomas in the closing seconds and
grabbed the rebound to secure the vic-
tory.
Trailing by two points twice with
under a minute to play, Cousins
responded with a pair of basket from
close range, the second one tying the
game at 113 with 12.6 seconds left.
A 3-pointer by Thomas put the
Kings in front 104-102 with 3:51 left.
But Thompsons corner 3 and a jumper
by Curry put the Warriors on top, 107-
106.
With the Kings down by 11 points,
Thornton made a 3 to ignite a 12-2 run.
Cousins ended the surge by converting
a layup and making two free throws to
cut Golden States lead to 100-96.
After a strong first half, it was
Thompson and Curry continuing their
perimeter success in the third quarter,
when they combined for ve 3-point-
ers.
Curry scored 11 points and
Thompson had three 3-pointers and
nine points, giving Golden State a 90-
80 heading into the fourth.
Currys free throws help Warriors edge Kings
KANSAS CITY Peyton Manning threw for 403 yards
and ve touchdowns, four to Eric Decker, and the Denver
Broncos held off a furious rally to beat the Kansas City
Chiefs 35-28 Sunday and seize control of the AFC West.
Decker had eight catches for a career-high 174 yards for
the Broncos (10-2), who moved a game clear of the Chiefs
(9-3) in the division. With four games left, Denver also
holds the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over Kansas City
in the last three weeks.
PANTHERS 27, BUCCANEERS 6
CHARLOTTE Cam Newton threw for 263 yards and two
touchdowns and ran for another score, and the Panthers
earned a franchise-record eighth straight regular-season
victory.
Newton threw touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and
Ted Ginn Jr. and Superman leaped over the pile for anoth-
er score as the Panthers (9-3) outgained the Buccaneers
426-206.
BENGALS 17, CHARGERS 10
SAN DIEGO Andy Dalton threw a go-ahead, 21-yard
touchdown pass to wide-open A.J. Green late in the third
quarter and the AFC North-leading Bengals (8-4), coming
off their bye, kept a two-game lead over Baltimore.
San Diego (5-7) lost the momentum it gained with a
thrilling comeback win at Kansas City a week earlier and
saw its playoff hopes dwindle after its fourth loss in ve
games.
With the score tied at 7, the Bengals got the ball after Dre
Kirkpatrick ripped it away from tight end Antonio Gates

Davis hurdled into the end zone on
a 17-yard touchdown reception.
I wish I would have scored,
Crabtree said. I was supposed to
take that to the house.
With Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in
the house, Boldin had six recep-
tions in the rst half on the way to
his second-most productive game
of the year behind his 13-catch
performance in the season opener
against Green Bay. He, too, teased
Crabtree about not getting into
the end zone.
We give him a pass on that one;
Thanksgiving was this week,
Boldin quipped.
Crabtree, San Franciscos lead-
ing wide receiver during last sea-
sons Super Bowl run, had two
catches. Just having him on the
eld kept the St. Louis defense
from focusing all its attention on
Boldin and Davis.
Davis displayed his athleticism
with a new signature move, and did
so not once but twice: a high hur-
dle over defenders. He led with his
right foot while leaping over safe-
ty Rodney McLeod in the rst half,
then again to reach the end zone
on his team-leading 10th touch-
down catch. Davis also was tack-
led by T.J. McDonald with a pro-
longed, painful grab to his crotch.
That was a rst in his career.
I was hurting, Davis said.
Phil Dawson kicked three eld
goals, and San Franciscos swarm-
ing defense made things tough on
Kellen Clemens all day. The Rams
managed only 73 total yards in the
rst half.
Clemens went 19 of 37 for 218
yards with a late TD pass in a dis-
mal afternoon for the Rams (5-7),
who were trying for their first
three-game winning streak of the
season.
There were some plays out there
that we had opportunities to make
which would have gotten us into a
little bit of a better rhythm offen-
sively, Clemens said. We didnt
make them.
A year after the teams left
Candlestick with a 24-24 tie, the
49ers methodically took care that
it didnt happen again. They made
it consecutive commanding victo-
ries in a short week following a
27-6 win at Washington on
Monday night that snapped a two-
game skid.
All the pressure, all the high
stakes this time of the year, I
thought our guys answered the bell
on that, coach Jim Harbaugh
said.
While Kaepernick was sacked
four times, Robert Quinn and the
opportunistic Rams defense failed
to make the game-changing plays

the current property manager that has a net-
work of homeless, low-cost and family
housing facilities throughout the county.
To qualify to live in Vendome, a person
has to have been homeless in downtown for
multiple years, pay one-third of their
income in rent and abide by house rules,
said Brian Greenberg, vice president of pro-
grams at InnVision.
The approach is that people who have a
long history of homelessness tend to be
very untrusting. They may have psycholog-
ical problems and they may have substance
abuse or addictive disorders. We try our best
to get people engaged in a relationship with
or outreach staff to engage them in servic-
es, Greenberg said.
Instead of the traditional model of giving
housing contingent on sobriety, HOT decid-
ed to try a different approach.
This was an alternative way for looking
at things get these folks into housing,
with a roof over their heads, get them fed
and then you can start to work on their
issues or weaknesses, Council said.
Although residents must abide by the law,
they are permitted to have alcohol in their
rooms. Many residents have had multiple
encounters with police and Vendome allows
them to drink in private instead of on the
streets, said Robert Anderson, a retired
police ofcer who patrolled downtown and
helped start HOT.
While homelessness is not a crime,
some of the behaviors associated with it
are, Anderson said.
Since Vendome opened, the city has
reduced its related medical expenses by 85
percent and police expenses by 99 percent,
said InnVision spokeswoman Maria Duzon.
Vendome benefits local merchants, the
citys budget, and is a lifesaver for many of
its residents, Anderson said. Before
Vendome, the only tool he had was law
enforcement; HOT provided him with more
resources to give to those he saw strug-
gling, Anderson said.
The personally satisfying thing for me
was once we got them off the street and into
housing, you see them start to get their
lives together, Anderson said.
Richard Lipn, 47, met Anderson while he
was living on the streets, abusing drugs and
alcohol and was suffering from mental
health disorders. Now that hes been placed
at Vendome, hes been sober, has access to
medication and is grateful to have people
who want to see him succeed, Lipn said.
Recently, Anderson gave him a hug, Lipn
said.
Just because I retired, theres not an on
and off switch where I discontinue these
relationships you maintain these rela-
tionships and just try to do what you can to
help, Anderson said.
Daniel Brown, 64, has been living at
Vendome for seven months. He had been on
the waitlist for two years, living out of a
shopping cart and struggling to make the
trip to the hospital to receive his diabetes
and heart medications, Brown said.
As a homeless person youre supposed to
remain out of sight; now that he has access
to a kitchen, a place to shower, food,
clothes and a washer and dryer, he nally
feels like he has a home, Brown said.
Vendome was an innovative step and
other cities are using it as a model to address
their chronically homeless populations,
Anderson said. Seven years ago, the home-
less population used to be the police depart-
ments biggest complaint downtown.
Although there are many who still live on
the streets, Vendome has made a huge differ-
ence for the city and the community,
Anderson said.
It helped the downtown merchants,
helped the police department and San Mateo
Medical Center, Anderson said. But most
importantly, it helped these individuals
who were on the street and forgotten and
helped them get their lives back on track.

Foucrault said the court proceeding is
necessary because, while he can turn over
photographs to a law enforcement agency
for a criminal investigation, the city is
not acting in that capacity. He does not
anticipate opposing the request or seeing
any reason why it would be denied.
Todd Master, the citys attorney in the
matter, was not immediately reachable for
comment but argues in the petition the
city of South San Francisco requires the
photographs to defend itself in the $10
million federal civil rights filed by
Gaines family last October.
Cabillo shot and killed Gaines June 5,
2012 at the Arco gas station on
Westborough and Gellert boulevards at
about 9 p.m. after he and another teen were
stopped by the ofcer. Cabillo suspected
the teen was carrying drugs or possibly a
weapon due to his suspicious behavior,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce
in a letter concluding its investigation into
Gaines death and clearing the ofcer of
wrongdoing,
The ofcer told Gaines to put his hands in
the air and the teen started to comply before
eeing the scene. The ofcer gave chase and
caught up to him quickly before grabbing
his clothing and striking him on the back
of the head with a gun, according to the let-
ter.
As Gaines fell to the ground, a gun fell
from his person onto the ground close to
the teens knee and as he reached for it
Cabillo red out of fear for his own safety,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce
conclusion.
But the lawsuit claims Cabillo was moti-
vated by prejudice against Gaines, who was
readily recognizable as African-American.
It also alleges the ofcers conduct was
extreme, unreasonable and outrageous.
The complaint alleges Cabillo shot
Gaines twice, once in the base of his neck
and another in his lower back.
An autopsy showed Gaines had cocaine,
methamphetamine and amphetamine in his
blood. Both marijuana and methampheta-
mine pills were also recovered from his per-
son upon removal of his clothing, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce.

court; add 11,000 square feet of retail on an
existing parking structure adjacent to Sears;
and add an upscale movie theater at the for-
mer World Market which has since moved to
the Bridgepointe Shopping Center.
The original plan was to update the cen-
ters north block to better link it with the
new Bay Meadows community near the
Hillsdale Caltrain station which is itself
slated for a northern shift.
The application was submitted in March
and, in preparation of an environmental
impact report, a scoping meeting was held
over the summer to publicly evaluate the
potential signicant impacts. However, cir-
cumstances are different now, according to
Hillsdale ofcials.
Due to changing market conditions, we
plan to take additional time to further ana-
lyze all potential options in order to bring
the best possible addition to our San Mateo
community, Robert Webster, president and
CEO of Bohannon Development Company,
said in an announcement of the suspension.
While Hillsdale Shopping Centers
announcement does not take the potential
north block project completely off the
table, it did not set a timeline for resubmit-
ting the application.
Once we have more fully explored the
options available to us, we will resubmit
plans to enhance and improve the shopping
experience at the center, Webster said.
Meanwhile, Webster said the shopping
center will continue looking at ways to
improve what businesses are offered.
Construction was previously scheduled to
begin in the second quarter of 2014.

3-inch, 95-pound Hardwick as line-
backer to block Nicholson, but he
slipped as he was running at Len. Of
course Len and all the guys laughed at
him, and Billy swore that he would
beat them all someday.
Well, it didnt take him long to make
his words come true. That summer, Bel
Mateo Bowl opened up, and Len and
Billy, the biggest guy and the small-
est, were put on the same team on a
league.
Billy wasnt a natural when it came to
bowling, either. He wasnt graceful with
his approach, often losing balance or
leaning to the right. But bowling is a
game of consistency and Hardwick was
consistent in the most important
aspect, getting his ball into the pocket
where he had the best chance to strike.
His accuracy was uncannily awe-
some, Nicholson said. Within two
years, he was beating us. By 1960, he
was the best at the alley, and he was
famous throughout the Bay Area. People
would come from all over just to chal-
lenge him, and he would beat them all.
Hardwicks style was unusual in
another way. When he was a junior
working at Bel Mateo Bowl, Hardwick
stuck his hand into an ice machine and
cut the tendon in his ring nger of
course on his bowling hand. So, he
began holding the ball with his thumb,
index and middle ngers, which earned
him the nickname, the man with the
golden claw.
In 1961, Billy got 20 of his bowling
acquaintances to sponsor him on the
newly formed PBATour. The results were
shocking Hardwick went 0-17 that
season. He didnt make a dime. He came
home to San Mateo and Len and his
friends asked him what he was next.
They thought he was crazy when Billy
said, without hesitation, Im going to
work on my game and go back out there
next year and beat them all.
In 1963, Hardwick won three tourna-
ments on the Tour, including the PBA
National Championship. Hardwick was
named PBAPlayer of the Year for 1963,
and never looked back for the rest of the
decade. He won the inaugural Firestone
Tournament of Champions in 1965,
beating Joe Joseph and Dick Weber in
the nals. Hardwick would cap the
decade with another Player of the Year
Award in 1969, a year in which he
became the rst bowler to win the triple
crown by winning the BPAA All-Star
Tournament and won seven tournaments
in all. Hardwick won nearly all of his 18
professional titles during the years of
1963-1969.
In addition to being one of the top
bowlers on the lanes, Hardwick was
popular with audiences.
He was a fan-favorite everywhere,
Nicholson said. He had talent and
charisma. Hed sign autographs morn-
ing, noon and night.
There was a stretch of years where
Billy had stopped bowling due to the
rheumatoid arthritis with which he was
born. During that time, a woman wrote
the PBA asking where Billy was. They
replied, and she sent a bracelet she said
helped her arthritis. Hardwick did
receive that bracelet and he swore it
worked, made him virtually pain free,
Nicholson said. You couldnt get it away
from him.
Nicholson, Billys best friend for 57
years, said his greatest memory of Billy
was watching him develop into one of
the greatest bowlers every night at Bel
Mateo Bowl and then seeing him be
inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in
1977.
It was hard to believe this little
scrawny kid with the determination of
a giant could make it that far,
Nicholson said.
BILLY
ly wouldnt be there, but the friend-
ships are what keep him coming back
week after week.
There are people who I barely know
but I look forward to seeing them every
week, Mahaffay said.
Along with being Hardwicks home
center, Bel Mateo Bowl is notable for
having a couple get married in the center.
Bob and Jackie Loveridge were mar-
ried at Bel Mateo Bowl 37 years ago,
and Jackie still remembers it.
My husband bowled here [Bel
Mateo] four nights a week, so it was
like a second home for him, Loveridge
said. We were married on lanes 11 and
12, the alley was closed down, there
was a white carpet, and 350 people
signed the book. At rst I wasnt too
sure about getting married here, but Im
glad we did.
Mike Leong recently took over as
owner of Bel Mateo Bowl, replacing
Rex Golobic. Previously, Leong was
vice president of the bowling manage-
ment group, which owned three bowl-
ing alleys at one point, but they are
now down to only Bel Mateo Bowl.
Palo Alto Bowl closed in 2011 and Serra
Bowl closed shortly after in 2012.
Leong said in the 1950s and 1960s,
many bowling alleys were built because
the sport was hugely popular, and the
leases were generally 50 years. Now
that the leases are up, land prices are too
expensive for a bowling alley to sus-
tain itself, especially as purely a com-
petitive bowling establishment.
Going forward, Leong said hes plan-
ning on spending $500,000 to upgrade
equipment and install HD masking
units above the lanes.
About the only thing thats changed
at Bel Mateo since 1980 is they
replaced the wood lanes with synthetic
ones, Mahaffey said. The camaraderie
hasnt changed. Bowling is still a circle
of friend

Speed a factor
in Paul Walker crash
LOS ANGELES Details continue to
emerge about the ery car crash that
killed Fast & Furious star Paul
Walker and one other person.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department says speed was a factor in
the one-car crash in the community of
Valencia. Deputies found a red Porsche
engulfed in ames when they arrived
Saturday afternoon.
Walkers publicist said Sunday the
other person in the car was Roger
Rodas, a friend of Walkers who owned
a sport car dealership.Walkers publi-
cist said the actor was the passenger,
though the sheriffs department did not
conrm that.
The Porsche crashed into a light pole
and tree and burst into ames. The
downed light pole had a speed limit
sign of 45 mph. Walker was in Valencia
for a fundraiser beneting victims of
the recent typhoon in the Philippines.
Below-freezing
temperatures to hit Bay Area
Higher-than-normal temperatures
over Thanksgiving Day will end this
week as a cold snap heading for the Bay
Area is expected to blanket the region
by mid-week, according to the
National Weather Service.
A drastic drop in temperature is pre-
dicted around the Bay Area by
Wednesday, with daytime highs and
nighttime lows expected to drop up to
15 degrees, forecaster Diana Henderson
said.
In inland valleys in the North Bay,
overnight lows on Wednesday could
dip well below freezing to around 28
degrees, Henderson said. In San
Francisco and around the Bay,
overnight lows will be in the low 40s,
Henderson said. Daytime highs will
likely be in the low 50s. In the East
Bay and on the Peninsula, overnight
lows are likely to be in the mid 30s,
according to the NWS.
The cold snap is predicted to last for
several days into the weekend.
Residents in suburban areas should
look out for frost on the roadways and
protect pets by bringing them inside
overnight.
