Tenants get holiday reprieve

Displaced Burlingame Hotel residents offered payment and free rent
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Tenants of the Burlingame Hotel, some of

areas most vulnerable residents who faced
losing their home in the middle of the holiday season, have been granted a slight
reprieve.
Under an agreement with ownership and
management negotiated primarily by
Mayor Terry Nagel, residents of the single

room occupancy hotel may stay through the
end of January at no charge, and have been
offered an additional $1,000 in relocation
assistance.
The Karp family, owners of the building
located at the corner of Burlingame and
Lorton avenues, announced in September
the hotel would be closed and converted into
Class A office space.
Initially, the roughly 40 residents living

at the hotel were asked to move by
Wednesday, Dec. 16, but the mediation of
Nagel and other renters rights advocates
helped extend their stay.
Nagel said the temporary eviction delay
an d rel o cat i o n as s i s t an ce o ffer co ul d
slightly improve a difficult situation for
some of the citys neediest residents,
who had been paying a weekly rent of
roughly $200 at the hotel.

It would be really cruel to put people out
just before the holidays, she said.
Cynthia Cornell, of the Burlingame
Advocates for Renter Protections, and
Daniel Saver, an attorney with the
Community Legal Services of East Palo
Alto, also worked on behalf of the residents

In memory of the renowned stunt show

was a beloved member of the coastside
community, the Half Moon Bay Airport
airfield has been renamed in honor of
Eddie Andreini Sr.
Friends and family mourned the loss of Eddie Andreini
the skilled pilot whose passion for the

occurred in May 2014 when he died at Travis Air Force Base
in a fiery crash witnessed by nearly 100,000 spectators.

Classic twist to holiday tradition

Local production of The Nutcracker features live orchestra
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Peninsula residents may be hard

pressed during the holiday season to
pick their preferred performance of the
adventures of Clara, the Sugar Plum
Fairy, the Nutcracker Prince and others
through the Land of Sweets.
But the opportunity to see
Tchaikovskys score performed as it
was intended, by live professional
musicians, is what sets the Bay Pointe
Ballet showing of The Nutcracker

apart, according to Artistic Director
Bruce Steivel.
Steivel, a veteran director who has
led ballets across the globe, said his
company in South San Francisco
broke the mold of local dance troupes
avoiding the expense associated with
hiring a live orchestra for performances.
Most companies are moving away
from it because of the cost, he said.
But we decided we wanted to make a
full theatrical experience.

South San Francisco native Derek
Tam has been selected to conduct the
35-piece orchestra which will play the
score to the holiday classic.
Tam said he is excited for the opportunity to lead the performance, which
begins this weekend and runs through
Sunday, Dec. 20, at the San Mateo
Performing Arts Center, 600 N.

Permanent power tower installed in Burlingame

Pacific Gas and Electric makes final fix after Broadway overpass accident
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Crews will work through the weekend to

install a permanent transmission tower near
Highway 101 in Burlingame, replacing the
one toppled in August by heavy construction equipment which snarled traffic
throughout the region.
Work began Friday, Dec. 11, and is
expected to be completed by Sunday, Dec.
13, as crews assemble a 130-foot steel pole
near the Broadway overpass designed to
hold the high-voltage lines sent sprawling
across the highway after heavy equipment
accidentally knocked down the previous
structure, said a Pacific Gas and Electric
spokesman Joe Molica.
Molica said he does not expect traffic on
the highway or surrounding streets to be
slowed by the construction of the new
tower, which replaced a temporary wooden
placeholder installed immediately after the
accident.
To ensure traffic continues to flow
smoothly, Molica encouraged drivers near
the construction site to try to not get dis-
tracted by the construction.

For safety purposes, everyone keep their
eyes on the road, he said.
Jafec USA, a contractor hired by Caltrans
to work on the new overpass project, was
responsible for knocking over the tower
with a construction crane on Aug. 28, said
Molica.
This is all part of our plan to replace that
equipment that was damaged by the thirdparty contractor, he said.
He said the cost of replacing the tower
will not be passed on to utility service customers.
Drivers on both directions of Highway
101 were stuck in their cars for hours late
on Friday, Aug. 28, as the high-voltage
power lines landed on cars occupied by
commuters. The busy thoroughfare was
periodically closed throughout the weekend
before being opened permanently the following Monday.
Molica credited collaboration with
Caltrans and other agencies in immediately
addressing the issue after the accident, and
also helping install the permanent pole.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The grieving mother

of a young black man shot dead by San
Francisco police filed a federal civil rights
lawsuit Friday, saying officers needlessly
opened fire in an incident captured on video
and circulated widely online.
Five San Francisco police officers shot
and killed Mario Woods, 26, on the afternoon of Dec. 2 after they say he refused
commands to drop an 8-inch knife he was
carrying. Police were responding to a stabbing report in the citys gritty Bayview
neighborhood when they encountered and
surrounded Woods.
Two video clips of the incident have circulated widely online, angering community
leaders and activists. During community
meetings this week, some have called for
Chief Greg Suhr to resign and for the officers
who fired their guns to be charged criminally.
Dozens of protesters marched Friday
through the streets to San Franciscos City
Hall. Some of them held signs demanding
Suhrs resignation. Police stood guard from a
distance.
This happened under his watch, said Sam
Sinyangwe, 25. The crowd dispersed about
3:30 p.m., Singyangwe said.

Caltrain line, streets

to close for bridge replacement
More street closures are slated for next
week as Caltrain will begin replacing the

bridges as part of a major seismic upgrade
in San Mateo.
Monte Diablo Avenue will be completely
shut down near the Caltrain corridor starting 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18, with crews
working to remove and replace the outdated
structure through 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 21,
according to the transit agency.
Due to the mandatory track closure needed to accommodate the bridge replacement,
SamTrans bus service will take riders
between the Hayward Park and Burlingame
stations on Saturday, Dec. 19. The train
line is expected to be up and running by
Sunday with single-track service, according to Caltrain.
The $38 million San Mateo Bridge
Replacement Project includes replacing the
structures at Tilton, Monte Diablo, Santa

structures that stand higher in many cases.
The Tilton Avenue bridge was successfully
replaced in mid-November and Caltrain will
continue to close-off the streets in approximate eight-week intervals.

Police investigate
attempted residential burglary
Police in South San Francisco are investigating a Thursday attempted residential
burglary after officers came across two suspicious individuals in the driveway of a residence.
Officers were conducting surveillance in
the Buri Buri and Promenade neighborhoods in response to a rash of residential
burglaries in the area.
Around 2:20 p.m., an officer noticed two
suspicious subjects in the driveway of a residence in the 500 block of Hibiscus Way.
The officer tried to contact the subjects,
but they fled on foot to an adjacent neighborhood, police said.
Officers set up a perimeter and several
subjects were detained for further investigation.
The incident caused two local schools to
shelter students in place while the neighborhood was searched, police said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Police said the officer interrupted a residence being burglarized.

The subjects were described as a black
man in his 20s and wearing a light blue
sports jacket and blue jeans and a Hispanic
man in his 20s wearing a gray sweatshirt
and blue jeans.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the South San

Scientists: Sea lion

death rate will stay high
Federal scientists are expecting another
year of high death rates and strandings for
sea lions and fur seals off the California
coast.
Researchers found that pups of both
species this fall were more than 30 percent
below their normal weight, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
research biologist Sharon Melin said.
Melin said low weights last year led to a
huge death toll.
From January through May, marine biologists collected 3,340 sick, starving and
dead sea lions that came ashore in Central
and Southern California. Based on the
condition of the pups we saw in September
and October, we would anticipate there will
be at least as many strandings this winter,
Melin said.
Fur seal pups, meanwhile, have already
begun turning up on beaches. Justin
Viezbicke, the California stranding network coordinator for NOAA Fisheries, said
154 fur seals have already been found on
West Coast beaches. He advised beachgoers to stay away from stranded animals
and call for help.

Wintry storm dumps snow on

snow-starved Sierra Nevada
SAN FRANCISCO The biggest

storm to hit the slopes of the Sierra
Nevada this season triggered cheers
Friday from the snow-starved ski
resorts of California and the businesses that surround them.
Elsewhere in the drought-stricken
state, rain and wind gusts prompted
high surf warnings and repeated cautions from highway patrol to slow
down when driving.
Severe weather moved south from
the Pacific Northwest, where fierce
storms this week sent rivers bursting
from their banks, spilled boulders and

trees onto a major highway and
spawned a rare tornado that snapped
power poles and battered homes. But
the storms had one positive effect
easing drought concerns after an
unusually dry summer.
In Washington state, the latest
report from the U.S. Drought Monitor
on Thursday showed the area west of
the Cascade Mountains is no longer in
drought. Cities like Seattle, Everett
and Tacoma implemented water shortage plans when unseasonably dry summer conditions left the region parched.
California also needs all the snow
and rain it can get, given four years of

drought that have dried up reservoirs
and left trees parched. Even a wet winter is not expected to end the drought,
but this weeks stormy weather
brought on by a tropical atmospheric
river is the kind Californians used to
see before drought set in.
This is the kind of storm weve
been missing for the last four years of
drought, said Doug Carlson, a
spokesman with the California
Department of Water Resources. This
is the kind of storm we would need a lot
of to start digging our way out of the
drought.

COACHELLA A Southern California mosque was damaged Friday in a fire reported to authorities as a possible
arson.
Flames were reported just after noon at the Islamic Center
of Palm Springs, according to the Riverside County Fire
Department. The fire was contained to the small buildings
front lobby, and no one was injured. Its cause is under
investigation.
People there described hearing a loud boom and seeing
flames, said Reymundo Nour, the mosques acting imam,
who was not on the site at the time. He said the mosque had
been firebombed.
A spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriffs
Department declined to state whether the fire was being
investigated as an arson or whether the mosque had been
firebombed.
The FBI was assisting local law enforcement in determining the cause, agency spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
The U. S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives also plans to help in the investigation.
The mosque is about 75 miles from San Bernardino, where
last week a couple who federal officials say were inspired by
Islamist extremists killed 14 people. Some Muslims in
Southern California and beyond have worried about the
potential for reprisals, while leaders of various faiths have
called for tolerance.
The mosque was hit by gunfire in November 2014 in what
authorities investigated as a possible hate crime. No one
was injured in the early morning incident.

sentence for the Dec. 8, 1986, slaying 17year-old Annette Thur, according to San
Mateo County Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
The sentence came after the Placerville
resident pleaded no contest on July 2 to a
first-degree murder charge, admitting to
killing Thur while he was in the course of
forcibly raping and sodomizing her, according to prosecutors.
Kelley, who was 23 at the time of the murder, wasnt arrested until August 2012, after
the San Mateo County Sheriffs office
reopened the unsolved case and connected
him with DNA evidence found in fluid collected from the victim, prosecutors said.

Decisiveness key to Donald

Trump among GOP voters
REUTERS
Jeb Bush listens to a question at the AARP New Hampshire Social Security Summit in Manchester, N.H.
Fading in 2016 race, Jeb Bush

wont budge from policy focus
By Thomas Beaumont
LONDONDERRY, N.H. Jeb Bush

stared across the Londonderry Senior
Center in disbelief.
A voter at his town hall had just told
him shed read the candidates 3,000word tax plan. The fact that you read it
makes me feel so pleased even if you
didnt like it, Bush said, unsuccessfully holding back a grin.
It was the sort of moment Bush surely dreamed about when he announced
his 2016 bid six months ago. Soon,
the two were deep in the weeds of his
proposals for capital gains taxes on
estates, when Bush paused. Were having a real wonk-a-thon right now, he
said gleefully.
It was also a moment all too rare for
Bush, a former front-runner stubbornly

sticking to a sober-minded approach to
his campaign despite months of evidence that Republican voters arent
much interested in what hes selling.
The portion of Republican registered
voters who think Bush could win the
general election, should he win his
partys nomination, has dropped to 40
percent in a new Associated Press-GfK
poll, down from 60 percent in October.
Republicans are now no more likely
than Democrats to see Bush as a potential general election winner, and 39
percent say they view Bush unfavorably almost the same percentage as
billionaire front-runner and frequent
Bush foil Donald Trump.
Perhaps even more troubling for
Bush, given his insistence on talking
about policy and his ability to govern,
the poll found that GOP voters view

Trump, the real estate mogul and reality
TV star, as more competent than the
two-term governor of Florida.
After setbacks in October, including
deep campaign spending cuts and a
widely criticized debate performance,
Bush sought to reassure donors who
have contributed more than $100 million to his campaign and a separate
pro-Bush organization by resetting his
effort with the auspicious slogan: Jeb
Can Fix It.
Part of the shift in strategy was
redoubling Bushs emphasis on New
Hampshire, where aides said the candidates serious style and affinity for oneon-one policy engagement was a close
fit with New Englanders, who also typically hold themselves as independent
of the national story line.
WASHINGTON Most Americans dont have much affection for Donald Trump. Even Republicans tend to think hes
not so likable.
But hes running for president, not for
Mr. Congeniality.
Trump is overwhelmingly viewed by
Republican voters as decisive and competent. And thats what mattered most to
Republicans surveyed in a new
Associated Press-GfK poll.
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans had an unfavorable
view of the Republican presidenDonald Trump
tial front-runner. Thats the worst rating
of any candidate in either party, a reminder that decisiveness alone might not be enough for Trump to prevail in the
2016 election if he becomes the GOP nominee.
The poll was taken before Trump called for a ban on
Muslims coming into the United States and does not reflect
reactions to that statement.
Among Republican registered voters, nearly 6 in 10
offered a favorable opinion of Trump. But just 31 percent
said he is at least somewhat compassionate. Only 43 percent found him at least somewhat likable.
Yet 8 in 10 Republican voters, and 55 percent of all
Americans, called Trump very or somewhat decisive. In
short, he is seen as the most decisive candidate of either
party both by Republicans and by Americans at large.
I wouldnt give him a 10 on the compassionate scale,
said poll respondent Lisa Barker, 55, of Worcester,
Massachusetts, an unaffiliated voter who says shes all in
for Trump. Id probably put him in the middle. But I love
the fact that hes decisive.
Trumps name, image removed at

Dubai development amid uproar
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The image and name of

American presidential hopeful Donald Trump were gone
Friday from parts of a golf course and housing development
under construction in Dubai amid the uproar over his comments about banning Muslims from traveling to the United
States.
The disappearance of at least some Trump branding from
the multi-billion-dollar development on the outskirts of
Dubai comes as concerns over his comments grow in the
Middle East, a region in which the businessman long has
sought money-making opportunities.
The company behind the Trump Towers in Istanbul, meanwhile, says it is assessing its partnership with the
Republican presidential front-runner.
In Dubai, Trump had a deal with Damac Properties to
license his name and image for a housing project and two
golf courses for an undisclosed sum.

Four bikers shot in Waco

with gun type police use
FORT WORTH, Texas Four of the nine
people killed in a melee between rival biker
gangs outside a Texas restaurant were struck
by the same caliber of rifle fired by Waco
police, according to evidence obtained by
the Associated Press that provides the most
insight yet into whether authorities were
responsible for any of the deaths and
injuries.
The latest trove of potential grand jury
evidence reviewed by the AP depicts a chaotic, bloody scene in which police swarmed
into the shootout between rival biker gangs
on May 17 outside the Twin Peaks restaurant
that left about 20 wounded and nearly 200
people arrested.
Hours of audio and footage and hundreds of
documents including ballistics reports show
that four of the dead and at least one of the
wounded were struck with bullets from .223caliber rifles the only type of weapon
fired by police that day.
Two of the four dead had wounds from only
that kind of rifle; the other two were shot by
other kinds of guns as well. The ballistics
reports show that the rest of the people
killed were shot by a variety of other guns.

Report cites 241 near
collisions between pilots, drones
WASHINGTON There has yet to be a
confirmed U.S. collision between a drone
and a manned aircraft, but theres a growing
number of close calls as drones fly where
they least belong near airports.
A report released Friday counted at least
241 reports of close encounters between
drones and manned aircraft that meet the
Federal Aviation Administrations definition of a near-collision, including 28 incidents in which pilots had to veer out of the
way.
The analysis by Bard Colleges Center for
the Study of the Drone found that 90 of the
close drone encounters involved commercial jets.
The FAA defines a near-collision as two
aircraft flying within 500 feet of each other.
In 51 of the incidents studied, the drone-toaircraft clearance was 50 feet or less, the
report said.
Most of the sightings occurred within 5
miles of an airport and at altitudes higher
than 400 feet.

Obama, Congress avert

fed shutdown, focus on
taxes and spending deals
By Alan Fram
WASHINGTON Avoiding the high drama

of recent year-end budget fights, President
Barack Obama signed legislation Friday
keeping government agencies open into
next week, giving White House and congressional bargainers more time to complete
sweeping deals on taxes and federal spending.
Facing a midnight deadline, Obama signed
the measure keeping government afloat
through Wednesday just hours after the House
used a voice vote to send it to him. The Senate
approved the bill a day earlier, its easy
sojourn through Congress underscoring that
neither party saw reason to risk a government
shutdown battle.
Talks were likely to stretch at least into the
weekend over the environment, Syrian
refugees, guns and dozens of other disputes
sprinkled across two major bills. One would
provide $1.1 trillion to finance government
for 2016; the other would renew around 50
expiring tax cuts for businesses and individuals that, with additions, could swell to a 10year price tag of $700 billion or more.
Disagreements remained but show-stopping, partisan quarrels were already resolved,
lowering the decibel level of this years budget endgame. The overall $1.1 trillion spending total was previously cemented in place,
leaving only spending details to finalize, and
Republicans decided to avoid shutdown
brinkmanship with Obama by omitting provisions dismantling his 2010 health care law
and halting Planned Parenthoods money.

NEW YORK A slump in oil prices

sparked a global sell-off in financial
markets on Friday with losses spreading from Asia to Europe to the U.S.,
where stocks fell sharply to cap their
worst week since the summer.
The selling was broad, with all 10
sectors of the Standard and Poors 500
index ending down. Fearful investors
put their money in government
bonds, especially U. S. Treasurys.
Another measure of anxiety, the socalled Vix index, jumped. It is now up
70 percent in just five days.
Investors worry the sharp fall in the
price of oil and other commodities is
a sign of weakness in the global
economy, especially China, and that
will cut into profits at big energy producers and suppliers of raw materials
as well as other companies.
Were stockpiling commodities
and demand is not picking up, said
Tim Courtney, chief investment officer of Exencial Wealth Advisors. Its
kind of a depressing market.
Energy shares, already decimated
this year, fell 3.4 percent on Friday.
Southwestern Energy plunged 14 percent. Freeport McMoRan, a mining
giant, dropped 6 percent.
The trouble began with a report
from the International Energy

Agency that said the oversupply in
oil would persist until late next year
even as demand continues to weaken.
Benchmark U. S. crude plunged
$1. 14, or 3 percent, to close at
$35.62 a barrel in New York. It has
been falling for 1 1/2 years and is
now at its lowest level since early
2009.
By the end of the day, the S&P 500
index had lost 39.86 points, or 1.9
percent, to 2,012.37. It was down 3.8
percent for the week, its worst showing since August.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 309.54 points, or 1.8 percent, to
17, 265. 21. The Nasdaq composite
declined 111.71 points, or 2.2 percent, to 4,933.47.
In Europe, Germanys DAX lost 2.4
percent, Britains FTSE 100 dropped
2.2 percent and Frances CAC 40 shed
1.8 percent.
Investors were also rattled by trouble in a risky corner of the credit markets where bonds from heavily
indebted companies are traded. Their
prices have fallen sharply as
investors fear the companies that
issued the bonds might default. A fund
that tracks the bonds, the iShares
iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate
Bond ETF, has dropped nearly 4 percent in five days.
Investors are also focused on a

Federal Reserve meeting next week
where the central bank is widely
expected to announce an increase in
its benchmark interest rate from a
record low.
Recent economic reports indicate
that the U. S. economy is healthy
enough to withstand a rate hike, but
investors are still nervous because it
would be the first rate rise in nearly a
decade.
Its anticipation of the Fed, its
oil, its credit ... all of these factors
are putting fear and confusion into the
investor, said Jonathan D. Corpina,
senior managing partner at Meridian
Equity Partners.
In a sign of trouble among commodity producers, Dow Chemical and
DuPont on Friday announced a $130
billion deal to merge their businesses
to counter falling prices. Their stocks
had risen in previous days on reports
the deal was forthcoming, but fell
sharply on Friday.
Dow Chemical dropped $1.54, or
nearly 3 percent, to $53.37. DuPont
lost $4.11, or 5.5 percent, to $70.44.

Yum CEO says Pizza Hut needs to be more like Uber

By Candice Choi
NEW YORK Yum CEO Greg

Creed thinks he figured out why
sales at Pizza Hut have gone cold:
The chain needs to be more like
the car-hailing service Uber.
If you think about the Uber
experience, its easy to use, its
easy to pay, its very easy to
track, Creed said in a phone interview from Dallas late Thursday

after Yum Brands investor day.
During a presentation, Creed
said there was a time when the way
to beat the competition was to
have a better product. He now
believes that convenience trumps
quality, and that nothing beats
making better easy.
Creed said the insight that
easy beats better will help

Yum energize its three fast-food
chains, which also include KFC
and Taco Bell. That means everything from shaving time off drivethrough waits to pushing into
areas like catering, delivery and
mobile ordering.
With Pizza Hut in particular,
Creed said the chain hasnt paid as
much attention to making life eas-
ier for customers as it focused on

being better. Yum notes the
chains sales have flagged even as
Pizza Hut is often cited as a
favorite among consumers. It
turns out people who prefer the
chains pizzas are only willing to
wait about two minutes more for
it, Creed said. Yet Pizza Hut takes
more than two minutes longer to
deliver than its competitors.
Its one of the reasons Yum

thinks Pizza Hut has flagged in the
U.S. as rivals have prospered. In
recent years, Dominos has credited the convenience of its online
ordering and mobile app for fueling its steady growth. Last year,
its sales rose 7.5 percent at established U.S. locations, following
growth of 5.4 percent the previous
year.

DuPont, Dow Chemical seek merger, then three-way split

By Randall Chase
DOVER, Del. Dow Chemical and

DuPont are merging to form a company
valued at about $130 billion as they try to
counter falling commodities prices and
weakness in some key markets that have
pressured their giant agriculture and chemicals businesses.
The two companies, whose research has
brought the world products ranging from
Ziploc bags and Saran wrap developed by
Dow to DuPonts Teflon coatings and
Nylon and Kevlar fibers, will first form
DowDuPont, then separate into three independent publicly traded companies
focused on agriculture, material science
and specialty products.
The proposed merger, announced Friday,
would temporarily create the worlds second-largest chemical company, behind
BASF. It comes as both Dow and DuPont
Co. have seen recent declines in agricultural performance and been pressured by
activist shareholders to control spending
and shift away from commodities to fastergrowing parts of their businesses.
Overall, this transaction represents a
tectonic shift in an industry that has been
evolving over the last many years, said
Dow Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris,
calling the merger a seminal event for
employees and customers of the two companies, which have a combined workforce
of more than 110,000.
DuPont Chairman and CEO Edward Breen
said the industrial logic behind the deal

President and CEO

Member FDIC
activist investor Dan Loeb, to split its

specialty chemical and petrochemical
businesses. Dow avoided a proxy fight
last year by adding four independent directors, giving board seats to two Loeb nominees.
Both Dow and DuPont had activist
shareholders who had sought breakups of
these companies, so ultimately the
visions of these activists are being realized, said James Sheehan, an analyst for
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.
Sheehan said the deal also could spark
other mergers in the ag-chemical industry.
Earlier this
year,
Missouri-based
Monsanto, the worlds largest seed company, abandoned a $46.5 billion hostile
bid for Swiss pesticide giant Syngenta.

Mason Randall, a three-year varsity starter,

has thrown for nearly 6,000 yards and 50
touchdowns in his Sacred Heart Prep career.
For the second time in three years, the Sacred

Heart Prep football team will play in a Northern
California bowl game, with a shot at advancing
to the Division III-Astate championship game.
The 10-3 Gators will face Oaklands
McClymonds (12-0) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at
Independence High School.
The winner of the SHP/McClymonds game
will face the winner of Rancho Bernardo (11-2)
and Oak Hills (9-5), which play in the Southern
California final.
Sacred Heart Prep advanced to the Nor Cal
title game by virtue of beating Riordan 35-28
in the Central Coast Section Open Division III
championship game. Mack won its sixth

straight Oakland Athletic League Section title,
beating Fremont 24-0 in the leagues annual
Silver Bowl.
Two years ago, the Gators stunned nearly
everyone when they dominated an El Cerrito
team 42-7, a squad many believed was destined
to win the state title.
And if there is any advantage in having experience playing in a Nor Cal game, the Gators
should have it against the Warriors. The Gators

Central Coast Section history this season.
Last year the Cougars tied the all-time mark
by a CCS squad with its fourth straight
appearance in the Northern California playoffs. Only Woodside, during the 1990s, has
as many.
But if Half Moon Bay is going to reach the
Nor Cal playoffs for an outright CCS record
fifth time, its going to have to do so with
just three seniors or as Cougars head
coach Rich Forslund calls them, his three
bigs in 6-1 guard Jake Salinero, 6-4 guard
Tommy Nuo and 6-7 center Austin Hilton.
Its much younger guys, so weve got to
get these guys playing at a higher clip,
Forslund said. We keep making little mistakes the same mistakes. Weve given
them a blueprint. Now they have to follow
it.
Nuo did his best Friday night to repeat as
tournament MVP, after his older brother
Rico earned the nod in 2013. Nuo turned in
a blazing first-quarter performance en route
to notching a double-double with 19 points
and 10 rebounds, adding four assists, three
steals and a blocked shot.
But as Nuo got into foul trouble in the
second half against the hyper-aggressive
approach of Stuart Hall, Hilton emerged for a
monster performance to claim MVP honors.
The big senior also tabbed a double-double
with 24 points and 12 rebounds both
game highs with 10 of his points coming
in the final five minutes of the third quarter
to halt a Stuart Hall surge.
We just had to be smart and slow things
down, Nuo said. They are an athletic
team, so we just had to slow it down and control it.
The Cougars jumped out to a massive 22-8
by the end of the first quarter, during which
Nuo totaled six points on a pair of threepointers, three rebounds, two assists, a steal

Lepeltak steps down

as girls hoops coach,
Kunst to assume role
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After a little more than three years as head

coach of the Burlingame girls basketball team,
Bill Lepeltak resigned Monday due to health
reasons.
Longtime boys assistant coach Matt Kunst
will take over coaching duties for the rest of the
season.
The stress level, over time, started to take its
toll, and physically and mentally its forced me
to take a break. It was affecting my real job and
my health, Lepeltak said. Being a high
school coach involves a lot of other things
people dont see. The summer-time stuff and
conditioning year round.
We started working toward this season over
the summer and practicing since November. Its
not something I wanted to do, its something I
had to do. At this point, my real job has to take
precedent.
Lepeltak is athletic director at Ingrid B. Lacy
Middle School in Pacifica.
Burlingame is off to a 1-3 start this season.
The Panthers won their first game of the season,
knocking off Lynbrook 40-31. They then lost
their next two under Lepeltak.
In his varsity coaching debut Thursday, Kunst
and the Panthers lost to Moreau CatholicHayward 59-36 in the Northgate tournament.
Kunst, a 2004 graduate of Burlingame, played
for and coached under former longtime boys
coach Jeff Dowd. Kunst spent the last two seasons as an assistant at San Francisco State while

Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball is celebrating its CIF Division IV state championship in

the team upon departing last Friday for the title
match in Southern California is anything like
the celebration, it should be quite a party.

Warriors need double OT to

top Boston, keep streak alive
By Jimmy Golen
BOSTON The Golden State

Warriors needed two overtimes to
remain perfect on a very imperfect
night from the NBAs reigning
Most Valuable Player.
Stephen Curry scored 38 points
with 11 rebounds and eight assists
and the Warriors improved to 24-0
this season by outlasting the
Boston Celtics 124-119 Friday
night.
Counting the wins in their final
four games last season, the defending NBA champions have taken 28
in a row. They broke a tie with the
2012-13 Miami Heat for the second-longest winning streak in
league history, and now trail only
the 33 straight by the Los Angeles
Lakers in 1971-72.
And the Warriors did it despite
Currys worst-shooting night of the
year.
Curry made only 9 of 27 shots
from the field. But he was 6 for 13
from 3-point range and a perfect 14
of 14 from the free throw line, sinking a pair of foul shots with 13.4
seconds left to give the Warriors a
three-point lead his only points
of the second overtime.

rebound and drew the foul. That sent
the Boston fans to the exits, but the
Golden State crowd remained to see
Iguodala sink both free throws and

games.
Draymond Green scored 24

Iguodala scored 13 with 10 boards
and Festus Ezeli had 12 and 12 for

without injured Klay Thompson and

The game brought a playoff
atmosphere and a sold-out crowd to
the new Boston Garden, but this
time the loyalties were more divided

Volleyball
Girls
Junior
National
Championship in New Orleans in June.
Entering into the club season shooting for a
top 10 finish, taking third place in the nation
exceeded the expectations of the year-round
coach. After Encore surged into the semifinals
though, missing a shot at the 16U national
championship tinged the bronze medal with
bittersweet.
SPORTS
Knowing the open level teams that were out
there, [third place] exceeded my expectations,
Agresti said. But once we got into that match
to get into the gold medal round, we got into
the third set and lost 15-13. So as much as it
exceeded my expectations when we were
that close to making it to the gold medal round
and could have won it all, it kind of hurt.
As the volleyball director at Encore, Agresti
gets no respite between the high school and
club season. She has already retooled her team,
which will advance to the 17U level this season. Smoot and Byrne return to a team that adds
several local talents in Aragon middle Melanie
Moore and Half Moon Bay outside hitter

Jan. 4 and play starts at the California Kickoff
Jan. 17-18 at the San Jose Convention Center.
At present, it is the closest to its home at The

scheduled to play this season.
The catch of the California Kickoff is the
Encore 17U team will be competing in the 18U
bracket.
It's the first tournament so were going to
try to challenge ourselves and play the best,

Shark ready to help Giants win 49ers get creative to handle issues at TE
SAN FRANCISCO Jeff Samardzija

walks around San Francisco and gets his
share of hellos, then those friendly
strangers go right on their way without lingering.
Samardzija loves that about his energetic
new city, and the winning tradition of his
new baseball team isnt too bad, either.
The big right-hander was formally introduced by the San Francisco Giants on Friday
after reaching a $90 million, five-year deal
less than a day after the club lost out on Zack
Greinke.
The Giants expressed their interest in
Samardzija early in the process and had
already built a framework with agent Adam
Katz, so the sides could move quickly once
Greinke chose the Arizona Diamondbacks.
I cant tell you the excitement I had when
they came to me and I was on their radar,
Samardzija said. But, really, in the back of
my head, thats where I wanted to be.
Samardzija sounded downright giddy to
have a new start back in the Bay Area, where
he pitched the final three months of the
2014 season for the

Oakland Athletics after
his trade from the Cubs.
He is ready to fill a key
spot in a rotation led by
2014 World Series MVP
Madison Bumgarner.
Samardzija was among
the worst pitchers in the
Jeff Samardzija AL for the Chicago White
Sox, going 11-13 with a
4.96 ERA in 32 starts this year. While he had
his first double-digit victory total in eight
major league seasons, but said he was tipping his pitches something he didnt
realize until late in the year.
As much as this contract is about performance, its about going to the post,
Giants executive Brian Sabean said. I think
the greatest compliment we can pay Jeff is,
last year under some duress, when the season
didnt go as planned, he pitches 214
innings. Theres a lot to like.
Bottom line, the 30-year-old wants to win
and put last seasons struggles behind him.
His 228 hits, 29 homers and 118 earned
runs allowed all were most in the AL.
SANTA CLARA Dealing with a slew of

injuries to tight ends, the San Francisco 49ers
might have to look toward their defense for
solutions in Sundays game at Cleveland.
Coach Jim Tomsula said Friday that defensive
ends Tony Jerod-Eddie and Quinton Dial got
reps at tight end during the spring program, just
in case they were needed.
After a series of injuries and trades, they
might be against the Browns.
We like tight end packages and weve always
made sure that weve got guys to do that role,
Tomsula said. Were always up to speed there.
Jerod-Eddie, 25, who hasnt played the position since high school, joked this week he considers himself the best tight end on the roster.
He stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 301 pounds.
I was a beast in seven-on-sevens, JerodEddie said. They would just split me out wide
and throw me a jump ball.
After trading Vernon Davis to Denver, the
49ers (4-8) lost Garrett Celek to injured reserve
after he sustained a high ankle sprain Nov. 29
against the Cardinals.
Last Sunday in Chicago, third-year tight end
Vance McDonald left the game early in the sec-
ond quarter after taking a blow to the head, leaving rookie Blake Bell as the only healthy tight
end on the roster.
McDonald was ruled out of Sundays game
after spending the week in the leagues concussion protocol, making it likely the 49ers elevate Brian Leonhardt from the practice squad,
who was signed in November after getting
released from Cleveland.
Leonhardt, 25, spent last season with the
Oakland Raiders, where he made 12 appearances
in three starts working under interim coach
Tony Sporano, who became the 49ers tight end
coach this season.
Another option to get time as a blocking
tight end is center Daniel Kilgore, who played
six snaps in that capacity during an overtime
win in Chicago. It was Kilgores first game
back in over a year after having two surgeries to
repair a broken lower leg.
In training camp, the 49ers believed tight end
was one of their deepest positions. They had
eight on the 90-man roster, allowing them to
trade reserves Derek Carrier to Washington for a
fifth-round pick and Asante Cleveland to New
England for offensive lineman Jordan Devey in
August.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Half Moon Bays Tommy Nuo glides to the hoop for two of his 19 points.
The junior guard added 10 rebounds to notch a double-double.
and a block. Half Moon Bay upped

it to 32-17 by the half.
It was good, Nuo said. We
came in ready to play. It was a good
sign.
But after a wonky performance
over the opening 16 minutes by
the Stuart Hall offense only two
players accounted for all 17 firsthalf points the Knights found
better distribution in the second
half.
Still, it was 6-5 center Zeke
Crawford and 5-9 point guard
Axavier Byrd, both seniors, who
shouldered most of the offense
throughout. Crawford totaled a
team-high 22 points while Byrd
added 17.
Hilton was on par, and then
some, with his third-quarter flourish. Nuo sparked the outburst with
an outstanding baseline glide to
shovel an assist pass to Hilton.
The next time down the court,
Hilton received a sweet behind-theback feed from sophomore point
guard Sam Treanor.
Then on the heels of a Stuart Hall
turnover, the Cougars went coastto-coast with an inbound pass the
length of the floor from junior
Ryan Yerby to Hilton underneath
the hoop, capping a personal sixpoint run to give Half Moon Bay a
44-27 lead.
But Stuart Hall kept pace. And
when Nuo committed his fourth
foul and had to come off the floor at
the start of the fourth quarter, the
Knights closed the lead to 51-42
the slightest Cougars lead since
early in the second quarter when

junior forward Rex Walters drove a
lane to draw a double-team underneath, kicking a pass to Crawford
for an easy lay-in with 5:30
remaining in regulation.
We got a little casual with the
ball, Forslund said. Theres just
no way to simulate that kind of
speed in practice. Theyre a really
fast team.
So Forslund called a timeout,
brought Nuo back into the game,
and Half Moon Bay promptly went
on an 8-3 run to all but close it out.
The run started with big threepoint play. The Cougars bench
came to life when Treanor who
totaled 12 points launched a
three-point attempt, but it didnt
go. Half Moon Bay got its threepoint play anyway when Hilton
stormed in for one of six offensive
rebounds on the night, muscled in
for the bucket while drawing the
foul and converted the ensuing free
throw.
Nuo, meanwhile, never fouled
out of the game and played the rest
of the way.
Through four wins, Half Moon
Bay has yielded an average of 45.5
points per game. It is the recipe for
the teams strong start, according
to Forslund.
I think weve played really good
defense, Forslund said. Were
holding teams in the 40s and 50s.
Thats a good way to win games.
In addition to Hilton being
named tourney MVP, Nuo and
Treanor were named to the all-tournament team. Byrd and Crawford
earned all-tourney honors for Stuart
Hall. Also named to the all-tourney
team were Burlingames Tyler
Garlitos and Vinnie Ferrari, and Los
Altos Tommy Andrews.

Rookie LB Heeny excelling as

role is expanded with Raiders
ALAMEDA Even though the

Oakland Raiders still have a slim
chance at the final wild-card spot in
the AFC, coach Jack Del Rio is
approaching the final month of the
season with an eye toward the future.
Del Rio said he plans to use the
final five games to evaluate some
younger players, such as rookie linebacker Ben Heeney, who made his
first career start last week against the
Kansas City Chiefs.
One of two fifth-round draft picks
by Oakland this season, Heeney has
gone from getting reps on the scout
team to playing on special teams.
Ben is full of energy, Del Rio
said. He really flies around, shows up
around the ball a lot. Hes done well
with the opportunity hes had.
Heeney was buried on the depth
chart coming out of training camp
and spent most of his time early in
the season on the Raiders coverage
units while playing on the goal-line
defense.
With middle linebacker Curtis
Lofton struggling in pass coverage,
Oakland needed to make a change.
Rookie Neiron Ball had the job until
he was sidelined by a knee injury.
Heeney stepped in and hasnt looked
back.
A first-team All-Big-12 linebacker
during his senior year at Kansas,
Heeney made a career-high nine tackles and recorded his first sack against
Detroit in Week 11. He and Khalil

Mack teamed up to sack Kansas City
quarterback Alex Smith in the second
quarter.
Weve called on him to play more
and hes done well with that opportunity, Del Rio said. Its kind of like
Neiron. He got the first crack at it and
did a nice job, but then got injured.
Eventually we turned to Ben and hes
done a nice job with the opportunity.
Once it gets to this point in the
season, youre trying hard to develop
the young guys. But a lot of times it
comes on scout team. When you do
enough there to give you an opportunity, well move you in to defense
work.
While some players dislike working on the scout team, Heeney saw it
as a stepping stone. He took the same
approach on special teams and now
hes Oaklands starting middle linebacker in the nickel packages.
I just try to play as hard as I can and
just play fast, Heeney said. I wasnt
doing anything different than what I
have been doing. I think they just
noticed it a little bit more.
Heeney is aware of the importance
of the final month of the season.
Even if they miss the playoffs, the
Raiders can still finish with a winning record for the first time since
2002. A strong finish from Heeney
would also help cement his status on
Oaklands defense, which has had
sporadic production from the linebackers most of the year.
As finalize deals with

relievers Axford, Madson
OAKLAND The Oakland

Athletics have finalized their deals
with relievers Ryan Madson and John
Axford that were reached over the past
week.
Madson has a $22 million, threeyear contract while closer Axford
receives a $10 million, two-year deal.
Axford will earn $4.5 million next
season and $5.5 million in 2017. He
has performance bonuses of
$250,000 each for 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
and 55 games finished, and his 2017

salary will increase by half the
amount of the performance bonuses
earned in 2016
The right-hander went 4-5 with a
4.20 ERA and 25 saves in 60 appearances with the Rockies this year.
Madson, who reached agreement
on his deal Sunday, went 1-2 with a
2.13 ERA in 68 outings and 63 1-3
innings for World Series champion
Kansas City this year. It was his first
AL season following nine years with
Philadelphia.

Sports brief
Fantasy takes hit in N.Y., but
DraftKings, FanDuel get stay
NEW YORK Daily fantasy sports
giants DraftKings and FanDuel took a hit
Friday in their fight to stay in business in
New York, but a scramble to an appeals court
kept DraftKings in play at least through the
end of the NFL regular season.
FanDuel, meanwhile, had already suspended play from New York amid the sites clash
with state Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman over whether daily fantasy
sports amounts to illegal gambling.
Friday morning, Manhattan state Supreme
Court Justice Manuel Mendez temporarily
barred both sites from taking play from one
of their biggest customer bases, until a
final determination of the court dispute.
But DraftKings and FanDuel quickly
appealed. By Friday afternoon, a Supreme
Court Appellate Division judge said the
SPORTS
companies could continue operating into
January, until a full panel of judges decides
whether the companies can keep going
while the appeals process unfolds. That
could take well into January.
Both sites said they would ultimately prevail in their dispute, which is reflecting
debate nationwide about whether playing
fantasy sports is betting.
We look forward to a full and fair hearing
and are confident we will demonstrate clearly to the court why we should be able to continue to offer our DFS (daily fantasy sports)
games in New York permanently,
DraftKings lawyer David Boies said in a
statement. FanDuel said it would work to
bring our product back to sports fans around
the state through our appeal and working
with the legislature to enact sensible regulations for fantasy sports.
Schneiderman spokesman Damien LaVera,
meanwhile, said the attorney general was
eager to show appeals judges why they
should uphold Mendez ruling.
COACH
working toward his masters degree and is in
the process of earning his teaching credential.
He returned to the boys program this season, coaching the freshmen boys squad,
before being tapped to now lead the girls varsity team.
This was all very sudden so we needed
someone with experience, who was cleared
(by the school district) and who could step in
right away, said John Philipopoulos,
Burlingame athletic director, on the decision
to promote Kunst. He deserves it. This is
what he wants as a career. All he has to do is
finish up his (teaching) credential. He wants
to be a teacher-coach.
As unfortunate as it is to see Coach Bill go
so suddenly ... this is a great opportunity for
Matt and I think he knows that.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

Lepeltak also believes Kunst is the right
man for the job. He said if he knew there wasnt someone immediately available to fill his
position, he would have waited to make the
move.
If there werent guys who were available, if
[Philipopoulos] said, There is nobody who
can do this, I would have kept doing it until
they found somebody, Lepeltak said. Matt
Kunst will do a great job. I figured thats the
direction they would go. Kids will really
like him. Theyll be able to relate to him.
The kids deserve to be coached well and
theyll be coached well.
In his three full seasons coaching the
Panthers, Lepeltak compiled a record of 4336. During the 2012-13 season, his first with
Burlingame, he helped guide the Panthers to
the Central Coast Section Division III championship, going 28-3 overall and 11-1 in
Peninsula Athletic League play. Lepeltak
spent several years coach the Terra Nova girls
team, and also spent many years officiating
PAL basketball games.

GATORS
We started the year talking about that.

This is not last years team. This is a whole
new team. Its a whole new entity,
Lavorato said.
The Warriors, however, have mirrored the
Gators in their success as they have dominated the Oakland Athletic League for the
better part of the last decade. And they are
not too far removed from their own Nor Cal
appearances. They made back-to-back
appearances in 2012 and 2013, losing to
Central Catholic-Modesto in the Division
IV bowl both times 42-12 in 2012 and
17-14 in 2013.
This year, the Warriors put together their
best effort since going 12-0 in 2010. While
they averaged nearly 39 points per game
this season, it has been the Warriors
defense that has been their calling card, lim-

I think there can be an advantage to that.
(Having that experience) has got to help,
SHP coach Pete Lavorato said last week.
Honestly, I dont want to sound nonchalant, but weve been here before, in this situation. Were excited. Its a football game,
thats whats exciting.
But Lavorato is quick to remind anyone
who asks that other than a few players,
there is not a lot of comparisons between
the 2013 team and this years squad.
Or last years 13-0 team, that won the
CCS Open Division title, yet was not
selected to play in a Nor Cal bowl game.

Over its last six games, the Warriors have
posted four shutouts and allowed a total of
14 points.
In the Silver Bowl, they led FremontOakland 10-0 before the Warriors returned a
pair of interceptions for touchdowns in the
fourth quarter.
Not that Mack doesnt have the pieces to
score on offense. Nine times this season,
the Warriors have scored 30 or more points
and, over the last four games, have scored
41, 51, 49 and 24 points.
In their Silver Bowl win over Fremont,
Jerrell Alberty rushed for 157 yards and
scored on a 36-yard run.
SHP will counter with one of the best
offenses in CCS. Randall, who has thrown

mark. As a three-year varsity starter,
Randall has thrown for 5,934 yards, with 48
touchdown passes and just 14 interceptions.
The Gators average 187 yards passing per
game and 245 yards rushing per game, led
by the 1-2 punch of Lapitu Mahoni and Isoa
Moimoi, who combine to average nearly
200 yards rushing per game.
We had no idea how we would do this
year, Lavorato said. I knew we had a few,
really good players. But we had a lot of guys
who we didnt know because they didnt
play.
And yet the Gators find themselves in the
Nor Cal title game for the second time in

Russia providing
air cover to Syrian
opposition group
By Vladimir Isachenkov
MOSCOW Russia has provided air cover to a leading Westernbacked opposition group in Syria,
President Vladimir Putin said
Friday, calling for closer coordination with the U.S.-allied coalition comments that may reflect
Moscows desire to narrow its differences with the West over the
Syrian crisis.
At the same time, Putin vowed
to further modernize Russias military and said its forces in Syria
will immediately destroy any
target threatening them, a strong
warning to Turkey following its
downing of a Russian warplane at
the Syrian border.
Speaking at a meeting with top
Defense Ministry officials, Putin
said while supporting the Syrian
government forces, Russia has
backed some units of the Free
Syrian Army, a Western-backed
opposition group fighting Syrian
President Bashar Assads army.
Several (FSA) units totaling
more than 5,000 people, along

with regular troops, are conducting offensive operations against
terrorists in the provinces of
Homs, Hama, Aleppo and Raqqa,
Putin said. We have provided air
support for them as well as the
Syrian army, helping them with
weapons, ammunition and supplies.
While Putin sounded unequivocal, his spokesman Dmitry
Peskov said a few hours later that
the president meant to say that
Russia is sending weapons and
supplies to Syrian government
forces and not the FSA, but provides air cover to both. Peskovs
statement could be an attempt to
assuage Assad, who calls the FSA
and other moderate opposition
groups terrorists.
Putin and his officials said
before that Russia had cooperated
with the FSA, but the groups representatives have denied that.
If confirmed, Russian support
for the FSA will represent a major
policy shift for Moscow, which
has been accused by the West of

striking moderate rebels to back
up Assad instead of its declared
goal, the Islamic State group.
Asked to comment on Putins
claim, U. S. State Department
spokesman John Kirby said that
its unclear to us also, whether
these -- these claims of support for
the FSA are true. He reaffirmed
that the vast majority of
airstrikes conducted by Russian
military aircraft are against opposition groups to Assad and not
aimed at ISIL.
By and large, theres been no
major change in calculus from
what weve seen them hit, and

they are largely continuing to hit
opposition, Kirby added.
Asked whether the coalition
should coordinate more with
Russia, British Defense Minister
Michael Fallon dismissed Putins
statements saying Moscow has to
play a more constructive role in
the political transition in Syria.
What theyve got to do is stop
propping up the Assad regime,
stop bombing opposition groups
who are opposed to the Assad
regime, stop dropping unguided
munitions on innocent villages
and groups whove been fighting

Assad, and get behind the political
process that is now under way of
leading that country to a more pluralist government and a future
without Assad, said Fallon, who
was speaking at a press conference
in the Pentagon alongside U.S.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter.
Russias Defense Minister
Sergei Shoigu said Russian warplanes have flown 4,000 combat
sorties in Syria since Moscow
launched its air campaign on Sept.
30, destroying 8,000 terrorist
targets.
Obamas ISIL czar has long history tackling Mideast crises

By Josh Lederman
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas new ISIL czar,
Robert Malley, has a long and
sometimes controversial history
at the center of U.S. policymaking
in the Middle East. Hes now taking on one of the toughest jobs in
Washington: getting the struggling campaign against Islamic
State militants on track while
Obama refuses to entertain any
wholesale strategy change.
Nearly 25 years after they were
students together at Harvard Law
School, these days Obama and
Malley cross paths mostly in the
Si t uat i o n
Room,
where
Malleys role is
to ensure the
countless U. S.
agencies fighting IS work in
tandem despite
differing time
Robert Malley zones, capabilities, and even
views about the conflict. At stake
is an extremist threat that has
started exporting violence from
Syria and Iraq deep into the West,
raising fears that the U.S. is losing a battle that Obama concedes
will still be raging when he leaves
office.

Elevated to the role with little

fanfare in late November,
Malleys appointment reflected an
attempt to show that when it came
to IS, Obama wasnt leaving anything to chance. The White House
said Malley will serve as a counterpart to Brett McGurk, the State
Department official tasked with
outreach to some five dozen countries contributing to Obamas
coalition.
For Malley, the promotion completed an unusual return to the
highest echelon of government,
seven years after a political stir
over revelations hed met with the
militant group Hamas.
At the time, Malley was work-
ing for the International Crisis

Group, a nonprofit that studies
violent conflicts like the one that
has
divided
Israelis
and
Palestinians for generations. The
U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist
group, and amid the dust-up,
Malley terminated his role as an
informal adviser to Obamas presidential campaign.
Malley said then that hed never
hidden the meetings, which he
argued were appropriate for a
researcher in his capacity. Still,
the incident was one of many in
Malleys career that pointed to a
willingness to engage with lessthan-savory characters who like
it or not are key players in con-
flicts the U.S. hopes to resolve.

Today the U.S. does not talk to
Iran, Syria, Hamas, the elected
Palestinian
government
or
Hezbollah, Malley wrote in Time
Magazine in 2006. The result has
been a policy with all the appeal of
a moral principle and all the effectiveness of a tired harangue.
Whether Malleys stance on
engaging with questionable entities will influence Obamas anti-IS
campaign remains to be seen.
Obama has steadfastly insisted
that Syrian President Bashar Assad
be excluded from any future Syrian
government, even though many
coalition partners say eliminating
IS, not Assad, must be the priority.

O Christmas tree
By Emily Shen
ast Saturday, I woke up to the

sound of busy footsteps and the
thud of boxes being moved around
in the living room. For a second, I thought
that we would set up our Christmas tree
until I remembered that my mom told me
we werent, because A). Our house was
going to be treated for termites over winter
break and B). We werent
spending Christmas at
home anyway.
It made logical sense,
but I couldnt help but
feel a little bit upset that
my last Christmas at
home as a high school
senior wouldnt involve
the traditions Id loved
experiencing every year
ever since I was a little girl. The best thing
to me about Christmas is wrapping up
another year of progress and growth by
coming back to something safe and familiar. It is a holiday rich in love, laughter
and saturated fat a pocket of time where
we can briefly escape from reality and
return to a simpler, happier time when we
are allowed to humor our imagination and
be as indulgent as we want. Thus far, the
concept of a bad Christmas has been
inconceivable to me. No matter how badly
I did on my fall finals or how easily I surrendered to the flu, Christmas for me has
always been the same level of amazing.
I think this explains why Im so afraid of
change right now at a time in my life
when everything seems to be about preparing for the future, I just want something to
stay consistent. At a time in my life where
I still have to write many (many, many )
more college applications, I just want to
stay at home where I know there is the
most reliable Internet access. Yet, I know
that I would be kidding myself if I tried to
pretend that everything will always be the
same.
Maybe its time that I start keeping my
own traditions maybe one of my traditions should be a willingness to be openminded, to celebrate Christmas or any
other holiday not with a set of strict rules
that need to be followed to the letter but
with the knowledge that some things are
beyond our control, that focusing on making something perfect may actually ruin

The original 1977 reviews of Star Wars
When George Lucas Star

Wars first landed in 1977,
some critics were swept
away, while others resisted
the tide. A sampling:
EXHAUSTING
Star Wars is like getting
a box of Cracker Jacks which

is all prizes. This is the
writer-director
George
Lucass own film, subject to
no business interference, yet
its a film thats totally uninterested in anything that
doesnt connect with the
mass audience. Theres no
breather in the picture, no
lyricism; the only attempt at

beauty is in the double sunset. Its enjoyable on its own
terms, but its exhausting,
too: like taking a pack of
kids to the circus. ... Its an
epic without a dream.

Why death is common in kids films and how parents can cope
By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES In the latest Pixar

release, The Good Dinosaur, little Arlos
dad is dramatically washed away by a raging
river.
And Arlo isnt the only animated hero to
lose a family member in the films first act.
The protagonist in last years Big Hero
6 loses his brother in an explosion. Then,
theres Nemo, whose mom is eaten by a barracuda in the opening minutes of Finding
Nemo.
In Frozen, Anna and Elsas parents are
lost at sea. And, who can forget the heartbreak of Bambi, when a shotgun blast
kills the little deers mother.
Theres a lot of death in animated movies
for kids. In fact, research has found that
main characters in these films are more than
twice as likely to suffer traumatic death than
in dramas aimed at adults.
Whats a parent to do?
Its not that cartoons are trying to scare
young viewers. Death of a parent is often
used as a dramatic device to focus on the
young protagonist, says University of

Ottawa professor Ian Colman, who conducted a study on the subject published last year
in the British Medical Journal.
Who deals with kids problems? Parents
do, Colman said. If you want to make it a
really compelling story, youve got to get
the parents out of the picture so kids can go
through this process themselves. One way
to do that is to kill them off.
But when parents or older siblings die
onscreen, younger viewers fare best when
real grown-ups are there to talk about it.
Children generally dont understand the
permanence and inevitability of death until

they reach elementary-school age, said
youth bereavement expert Dr. David
Schonfeld, and popular movies often do little to depict realistic ways of dealing with
grief.
We just model the distress, said
Schonfeld, director of USCs National
Center for School Crisis and Bereavement.
We leave the character in that distress, and
then the resolution is: Grow up and have
your own cub. That really isnt how we

In The Big Short, a bet against America pays off

By Jake Coyle
In Adam McKays comic and clear-eyed

adaption of Michael Lewis The Big
Short, a handful of finance speculators
outsiders and oddballs predict a downturn
in the housing market only to realize, to
their horror and immense profit, that
theyve effectively bet against America, and
won.
Its a rollicking, outrage-fueled odyssey
through the financial collapse of 2008,
from the carefree offices on Wall Street to

the vacant subdivisions in Florida, that
gradually reveals not just a market bubble
but a colossally bankrupt system and a
nation that blissfully teetered into absurdity.
As one of the pre-eminent comedy directors, McKay has shifted into a more realistic, dramatic world only to find a farce too
ridiculous for satire. And as anyone who has

Streisand upstaged by Katzenberg at entertainment breakfast

By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES Barbra Streisand was the

guest of honor at the annual Women in
Entertainment breakfast Wednesday, but it
was Hollywood publicist Nanci Ryder and
studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg who moved
the audience most.
Ryder, who was diagnosed with Lou
Gehrigs disease last year, appeared with
Katzenberg at the industry event. Because

she can no longer speak, he read a statement
she had written, and as he did, Ryder wailed
and dabbed her eyes with Kleenex. By the
time he finished the statement, he was crying, too, as were most of the guests at Milk
Studios, where the breakfast was held.
I aspire to be half the person you are,
Katzenberg told Ryder through tears.
In her statement, Ryder urged the entertainment powerhouses at the Hollywood
Reporters annual Power 100
breakfast to work together to
create gender equity in the
industry.
I wish my disease were as
easy to fix as this, she
wrote.

in

the
Hollywood Reporters
Women in Entertainment
initiative includes a mentorship program, which
pairs girls in underserved
areas of Los Angeles with
female Hollywood executives for a year of men-
toring.
Singer Meghan Trainor announced at
Wednesdays breakfast that three of those
girls would receive full academic scholarships to Loyola Marymount University,
inspiring another round of tears in the room.
I never thought I would get to go to college, one honoree said through sobs.
The audience was cried out by the time
Streisand took the stage to accept the Sherry
Lansing Leadership Award, saying shes
angry that women are still so underrepresented in Hollywood, politics and medical
research.
Gender discrimination drives me crazy,
Streisand said. Women are still treated as
second-class citizens in the workplace and
equal representation in Congress.
One area where women outpace men is in
death from heart disease, she said. Streisand
endowed her namesake Womens Heart
Center at Cedars-Sinai in 2012 to conduct
research and develop treatments specifically
for womens cardiac conditions.

Fiddler is Hillbarns
welcome holiday gift
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
While not a holiday show in

the usual sense, Hillbarn
Theatres production of Fiddler
on the Roof nevertheless is a
wonderful gift for the season.
This 51-year-old musical, a
favorite around the world, boasts
memorable music by Jerry Bock
with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.
Equally important, its book by
Joseph Stein, based on stories by
Sholom Aleichem, never fails to
elicit laughter and tears.
Its set in 1905 in the tiny
Jewish village of Anatevka,
Russia, where its residents have
lived for generations. As the
opening
number
explains,
Tradition binds them together
and rules their lives.
But its a new century. Looming
changes will soon adversely
affect their way of life, uprooting
and scattering them.
On a more personal level,
change is affecting the family of
Tevye (John-Elliott Kirk), an
impoverished milkman, and his
wife, Golde (Michelle GreenbergShannon). They have five daughters, three of them old enough to
be married.
Unable to provide dowries,
Tevye and Golde must depend on
Yente (Darlene Batchelder), the
matchmaker, to find husbands for
their girls. The girls have other

ideas.
First, the eldest, Tzeitel
(Jessica Maxey), prevails upon
Tevye to allow her to marry Motel
(Burton Thomas), a poor but caring tailor, rather than Lazar Wolf
(Bob Weisman), the wealthy but
much older butcher to whom
Tevye has promised her.
Once she convinces Tevye that
shell be happy only by marrying
Motel, Tevye cooks up a fantastical dream to win Goldes assent.
The next daughter, Hodel
(Rachel Share-Sapolsky), pushes
against tradition even harder,
telling Tevye that she loves
Perchik (Jon Toussaint), a student
with radical ideas, and will follow
him to Kiev to be married. Again,
Tevye reluctantly consents.
He draws the line when Chava
(LeighAnn Cannon) goes behind
his back and outside the faith to
marry Fyedka (Russell Mangan),
a Russian soldier, in a ceremony
conducted by the local priest.
All of these events transpire to
the tune of exuberant songs like
Matchmaker, Matchmaker, If I
Were a Rich Man, To Life,
Miracle of Miracles and
Wedding Dance.
Then there are the touching
Sabbath Prayer, Sunrise,
Sunset, Far From the Home I
Love,
Chavaleh
and
Anatevka. The show opens and

Fiddler on the Roof continues at Hillbarn Theatre through Dec. 20.

closes with the Fiddler (15-yearold Nicholas Garland) playing
the
opening
strains
of
Tradition while seated on a
rooftop.
Director Dan Demers and his
artistic team stage the show with
a careful eye to detail. All of the
performers in this large cast are
fully involved.
Costumes by Pam Lampkin
reflect each characters social status, right down to the mens
scuffed boots and Tevyes milkstained apron. Jayne Zaban has
reproduced the original Tonywinning

choreography
by
Jerome Robbins.
Musical director Rick Reynolds
conducts the 17-member orchestra and the singers. Most of the
singing is excellent, whether
solo, ensemble or full chorus.
The show is anchored by Kirks
Tevye. His singing, acting and
dancing are all praiseworthy.
Other fine singing comes from
Greenberg-Shannon as Golde
along with Maxey as Tzeitel,
Share-Sapolsky as Hodel and
Cannon as Chava. All of the

other singers are adequate or better.
Running just under three hours
with one intermission, this production shows why Fiddler
retains its appeal whether one is
seeing it for the first or
umpteenth time.
It will continue at Hillbarn
Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale Blvd.,
Foster City, through Dec. 20. For

Musical Elf returns to New

York City led by Eric Petersen
By Mark Kennedy
NEW YORK The Christmas musical based on Will

Ferrells movie Elf has returned to New York for the holidays, led by a stage and TV veteran whose
oldest childs first Broadway show was
thats right Elf.
Eric Petersens 5-year-old daughter,
Sophia, caught the show a few winters
ago and adored it. Years later, she sat mesmerized for several hours watching her
dad at a rehearsal of the show.
My daughter loves theater so much
and so shes been going to shows well
Eric Petersen before most kids go, Petersen said. Im
in trouble. Shes totally a show kid. Its
very apparent.
Petersen plays Buddy in the touring musical that plays
The Theater at Madison Square Garden until Dec. 27. Hes
joined by a cast that includes J.B. Adams as Santa and
Veronica J. Kuehn as Buddys love interest.
I really love playing the character, said Petersen. I feel
like I get to do so much fun stuff physical comedy, which
is my bag, and I get to do a little bit of a love story. Its the
whole package.
The musical opens in the North Pole, where Buddy learns
hes not an elf but a human. It then charts his journey in
search of his father in Manhattan, perking up everyone he
meets.
Petersen looks nothing like Ferrell but director Sam
Scalamoni said that was never a goal. It has to be somebody who understands the comedy and the heart of the
piece, he said. Funny is great, but if theres not heart,
then I dont care. Eric is such a balance of both.
The musicals story, adapted by Tony Award winners
Thomas Meehan (The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob
Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone), preserves many of the
familiar punch lines from Ferrells hilarious 2003 film. Yet
with its big, catchy numbers, it doesnt have the feel of a
show that was plucked from the screen and retrofitted for the
stage.
Now-classic lines from the movie are intact, such as
Buddys PG-rated swear cotton-headed ninny-muggins
and when he confronts a department store Santa by hissing,
You smell like beef and cheese. A new opening number
Happy All the Time has jumped from the last Broadway
version to the tour.
Petersen, who lives in Los Angeles, has carved a career in
both TV and stage, earning credits on the TVLand sitcom
Kirstie and The Brittany Murphy Story. He was on
Broadway in Peter & The Starcatcher and Shrek: The
Musical.

can attest, his humor has always come laced
with biting political subtext: the TV news
of Anchorman, George W. Bush-era
America in Talladega Nights, white collar
crime in The Other Guys.
He has kept his loose and antic style,
leaving his starry cast including Steve
Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and
Brad Pitt ample room for improvising.
They are part of the enticements of The Big
Short, which strains hard to make the complex finance of its subject digestible and
entertaining, including occasional instructional interludes from the likes of Margot
Robbie (in a bubble bath), Anthony
Bourdain and Selena Gomez eye candies
for brief explanations of collateralized-debt
obligations and other instruments of financial minutia.
Our central characters are a foursome of
(mostly) unrelated investors. Theres the
glass-eyed, heavy metal-listening trader
Michael Burry (Bale), a the brash-talking
banker Jared Vennett (Gosling); a cynical
hedge fund manager Mark Baum (Carell);
and two young investors (John Magaro and
Finn Wittrock) who are mentored by Ben
Rickert (Pitt), a retired veteran who now disdains Wall Street.
Sifting through the data, they each come
to the conclusion that the bedrock of the
U.S. economy the housing market has
quietly been weakening. When everyone is
riding the market to record highs, they swim
against the tide.
The story of the 2008 crisis has, of
course, been told many times before. The
best portrait of the eras out-of-control
excesses was Martin Scorseses The Wolf
of Wall Street (set in the 80s and 90s but

made in the wake of the 2008 collapse).
None captured the personal pain more than
Ramin Bahranis eviction drama 99
Homes, released earlier this year.
What sets The Big Short apart is its
steadily accumulating rage. Its a movie for
that modern American experience of looking around and seeing so much corporate
corruption that ones head might explode.
Carell captures this best, playing Baum as a
pressure cooker who goes from angry to
seething. What scares them most is that
their bet doesnt pay off when it should; the
system is so interlaced with mutual benefit
that the market is rigged.
Eventually, Burry is left to label it a completely fraudulent system. Baum does him
one better. He sees an era of fraud all
around, from the White House to Wall Street.
Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong adorn TV
screens in the background.
McKays film is furious, spilling criticism at every door, from the SEC to bond
credit ratings companies to the press. But
its also relentlessly playful, with characters speaking into the camera, pointing out
inaccuracies in the script (by McKay and
Charles Randolph) and stuffing in hip-hop
montages.
Gosling is best at the direct address.
(Blushing, we cant help but be happy hes
talking to us.) But the self-aware trickery
wears thin. Less overt is the tantalizing way
the life lurks on the outside of the frame in
pictures of kids on desks and in family obligations canceled for a late night at the
office. Within McKays enjoyable, frightful, passionate rant of a movie is a plea:
Theres more to life than this, you know.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Diane V. Johnson
Case Number: 126256
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Diane V. Johnson. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kirstin
N. Durham in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Kirstin N.
Durham be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 19, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,

Climate negotiators say global deal is close in Paris

By Karl Ritter and Angela Charlton
LE BOURGET, France Negotiators from

around the world appear to be closing in on a
landmark accord to slow global warming,
with a possible final draft to be presented
Saturday for a last round of debate at talks
outside Paris.
The draft, completed after late-night negotiations, is being translated from English
into the U.N.s five other official languages
and will be presented at a special meeting of
international delegates at 11:30 a.m.
(1030GMT), according to two French officials.
The officials, not authorized to be publicly
named in discussing the negotiations, would

not elaborate on the contents of the draft.
The last draft of the accord, released Thursday
night, did not resolve several key issues,
including how rich and developing countries
would share the costs of fighting global
warming.
If the 190 nations gathered in Paris agree
to an accord, it would be a breakthrough after
more than two decades of U.N. efforts to persuade governments to work together to
reduce the man-made emissions that scientists say are warming the planet. Melting
glaciers, rising seas and expanding deserts
linked to such climate change are threatening populations around the world.
Negotiators emerged from meetings late
Friday with French Foreign Minister Laurent

Fabius, the host of the talks, amid an air of
optimism that had been lacking just hours
earlier.
We are pretty much there, Egyptian
Environment Minister Khaled Fahmy, the
chairman of a bloc of African countries, told
The Associated Press late Friday. There have
been tremendous developments in the last
hours. We are very close.
A negotiator from a developed country was
equally positive. I think we got it, said the
negotiator, who was not authorized to speak
publicly as the talks were not over yet.
In a bid to encourage agreement, French
President Francois Hollande will join the
special meeting Saturday and give a speech
HOTEL
to negotiate the relocation assistance package.
Cornell, in an email, praised the willingness of Nagel to fight
for the rights of residents, who otherwise may have faced displacement empty-handed.
As there is no ordinance in Burlingame that would protect
residents from these kinds of evictions, and no mandated relocation assistance, I am gratified that Mayor Nagel was able to
negotiate some assistance for the tenants of the Burlingame
Hotel, she said.
Most of the tenants have signed the relocation assistance
agreement, which precludes them from publicly making disparaging remarks about the hotel ownership and management,
said Nagel.
Karen Finley, who has lived at the hotel for 15 years, accepted the assistance package and said she will use the additional
resources to save for her pending move to Stockton.
She said she is reluctant to leave the place she has grown to
love.
Its just my home and Im comfortable there and I dont want
to leave but I have to, she said.
Finley, 50, said she is forced to move out of the area because
the cost of living in San Mateo County is so expensive.
Its not what I want to do, but I have no choice, she said.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Finley said she harbors no ill will against the building owners who wish to capitalize on their investment.
They want to make some money, and I understand that, she
said. I dont have anything against them.
Finley said she plans to stay at the hotel through the end of
January, to offset relocation costs such as the need to buy a car
which she will use to commute part time from her new home in
Stockton to her job in Redwood City.
Though she would prefer to stay, Finley said she is trying to

move-out date.
find a silver lining.
I dont like changes, she said. This is going to be different
for me, but I have to see it as a good thing.
Finley expressed her appreciation for Nagels willingness to
advocate for the residents.
Shes a really good person, said Finley. She came in and
got us more time, and thats great.
Saver also expressed appreciation to Nagel for doing a lions
share of the negotiating for the tenants.
I would give a lot of credit to Mayor Nagel for her leadership
on this, and the compassion she has shown to the families who
are being displaced, he said.
Saver, who offers legal advice to many families throughout
the region forced to relocate due to the escalating cost of living,
said the assistance package offered is a relatively unique agreement.
alongside U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon, to show the importance of deciding

and now adopting the draft text, Hollandes
office said.
The talks were initially scheduled to end
Friday and then Fabius wanted a final draft
accord by early Saturday. U.N. climate conferences often run over time, because of the
high stakes and widely differing demands and
economic concerns of countries as diverse as
the United States and tiny Pacific island
nations.
This accord is the first time all countries
are expected to pitch in the previous emissions treaty, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, only
included rich countries and the U.S. never
signed on.
This is an exception to the rule, he said. Given the fact

there are few cities in this area that have tenants protections,
most landlords in most circumstances dont have any incentive,
and no requirement, that they make accommodations for most of
their tenants who are being displaced.
Adam Alberti, spokesman for the building owners, said the
Karp family was happy to help in the effort to provide relocation
assistance. Upon announcing in September the hotel would be
closing, the Karp family pledged a willingness to help ease the
transition for the buildings tenants.
Burlingame Hotel residents banded together through the mediation process, said Saver, which likely helped their cause in
gaining some traction during negotiations with the hotel owners and management.
He said the agreement reached for hotel residents could serve
as a model to other local tenants who face displacement, but it
also points to a larger issue.
This situation demonstrates why we need policy change,
because if there are legal rules that mandates landlords have to
treat people with dignity, then everyone will be treated with dignity and respect under the law, he said. In absence of that, people are stuck trying to build as much power as they can.
Nagel said she too would favor a policy which protects displaced renters.
It makes a lot of sense, she said. If you are going to evict
someone for no fault of their own, you could pay them something to help them through this crisis in their lives.
She pointed to the county as an agency which could implement a renters protection ordinance that would serve as a template for other local cities interested in enacting a similar policy.
We need leadership from the county to help make this happen, she said. If the county could come up with a relocation
package that they would give to the residents in the unincorporated areas, it might be more likely that some cities might follow that.
In the case of the Burlingame Hotel tenants, Nagel said she
was pleased to negotiate a relocation assistance package for residents, but feared it may not be sufficient for all who receive it.
These are some of the poorest of the poor in the county, she
said. Some of them will become homeless.
For her part, Finley said her final weeks in the building spent
packing and preparing for the move from her longtime home
will be difficult.
Im going to miss this place, she said. Its comfortable and
cozy.

his time.
His eldest son, Eddie Andreini Jr., said
hes thankful the county and community
think highly of his father.
We do appreciate it, the whole family
does. Its quite an honor, it means a lot to
everybody, Andreini Jr. said. Flying was
the love of his life, other than my mother,
he had a passion for it. Without it, I dont
know if hed have gone crazy.
Andreini Sr. learned to fly at the airfield
now named in his memory in 1953 before
going on to perform in countless airshows
around the world. His legacy is marked as a
recipient of the 2004 Sword of Excellence
Award from the International Council of Air
Shows, the highest honor a stunt pilot can
receive; and in 2013 he was inducted into
the Air Show Hall of Fame, according to the
NUTCRACKER
We dont have many chances to work
with ballet dancers as orchestral musicians,
so this is a really fun project for us, he said.
Tam noted the difficulty for fans of The
Nutcracker to see a performance featuring a
live orchestra beyond the borders of San
Francisco.
Tam, 26, said he especially appreciates
performing in front of his native community.
This is not something that would have
happened when I was growing up, said Tam.
Its really amazing to see the arts scene
come alive on the Peninsula, because so
much has been concentrated in San
Francisco.
Steivel agreed, and said a focus of the per-
LOCAL
35
Board of Supervisors.
He and his brother Angelo Andreini ran a
successful contracting company that built
several city infrastructure projects as well as
school fields. He also played a pivotal role
in the success of the annual Pacific Coast
Dream Machines classic car and airplane
show at the airport.
Councilman John Muller, a longtime
friend of Andreini Sr., recalled his youth and
always being amazed by the older pilot who
would make impromptu stops on the family
farm.
We can remember as little boys, hed be
flying a little plane and land it in the hayfield, just to stop by and say hi. We were
always very impressed with that, Muller
said, noting a drive past the airport elicits
fond memories.
Renaming the airfield is very special,
not only for his skills as a pilot and lifelong dedication, but he was such a kind and
generous person to everyone, Muller said.
I think its a well-deserved special honor
for him and his family and his wife to have

this name out there. Because thats what we
all think of when we go by the airport.
Supervisor Don Horsley proposed the dedication after Sandra Andreini, the wife of
Andreini Jr., opted to focus her grief and
attention on something positive.
What an honor, he was such a great guy.
I think Eddie would have loved this,
Sandra Andreini said. For me, that was
something I could focus on. Because it has
been hard, hes been so instrumental in our
life. He was really the driving force
behind everything.
Sandra Andreini thanked Horsley, his staff
and Half Moon Bay councilmembers for
working on the renaming. Once a sign is
approved and installed, the community at
large is invited to celebrate during a party
commemorating the airfield, Sandra
Andreini said.
Horsley said he was pleased to promote
the renaming of the site where the skilled
pilot started his career.
Eddie was really a pioneer at the Half

Moon Bay Airport. He learned how to fly in
1953 when he was still in high school,
Horsley said. There began about a 60-year
history.
The Andreinis and Muller said while driving by the airport off Highway 1 just north
of Half Moon Bay, its hard not to think of
the fallen stuntman who was an integral part
of the community.
For the eldest son who grew up flying
with his father in the early 1970s, he still
lifts off from the coastal airfield while sharing the family legacy.
Flying with him, its something I miss.
I lost my father, I lost one of my best
friends, I lost a business partner. I lost a
lot, Andreini Jr. said, before describing the
familys passion for flight. Just being up
there and its beautiful looking down at
everything and you can see the whole world.
The thrill of the airplane is an amazing
thing. Sometimes you sit up there and wonder how lucky you are.
formance was serving local residents, as

many of the companys dancers live in and
around South San Francisco.
He said amateur dancers from Bay Pointe
Ballet perform much of the first act and professionals hired from across the nation are
featured in the second act.
The blended performance makes for a
wholesome and enjoyable experience for the
entire family, said Steivel.
It has become a real family tradition, he
said.
Steivel, who has been directing performances of The Nutcracker for roughly 40
years, said incorporating a live orchestra
makes the show unique.
It just enhances the whole experience,
he said.
But as a theater veteran who has led performances in far-reaching areas such as
Switzerland, Korea, China and elsewhere,
Steivel said he tries to bring the same joy to
all his audiences.
Ballet is a universal language, he said.

Steivel has been working in South San
Francisco for the past three years, and leads
the Bay Pointe Ballet dance school, which
has roughly 150 students.
He said he especially enjoys working in
South San Francisco because he is able to
focus on honing the talent of his companys
young dancers.
Here I can get more involved with the
kids, he said.
Students of the company begin working
on their performance of The Nutcracker in
October, and the professional dancers start
rehearsals in November, said Steivel.
The timeline for polishing the orchestra
performance is much tighter, said Tam, as
they will play together once, then a dress
rehearsal and the show begins on Saturday,
Dec. 12.
He said the abbreviated preparation
schedule means he spends much of his
days anticipating which parts of the show
may prove difficult.

Im just really thinking through what the
problem spots may be, he said. As with
anything, it is just about having a really
excellent game plan.
The music in the performance has been
scaled down a bit, said Tam, because the
show will not include a full orchestra, but he
is confident in the abilities of the players to
offer fans a gratifying experience.
I think it is going to go wonderful, he
said.
Steivel agreed, and encouraged families
from throughout the region to witness a
unique performance of a holiday classic.
What would Christmas be without The
Nutcracker? he said.
The Bay Pointe Ballet performance of
The Nutcracker will begin Saturday, Dec.
12 and feature weekend performances
through Sunday, Dec. 20. Visit baypointeballet.org/season/nutcracker.php for more
show time and ticket information.
