shoplifting charge.
Online jail records did not show any
bond information, and it wasnt clear
whether Payne had an attorney who
could comment.
An attorney who represented her last
year, when she was accused of pocketing a $690 pair of earrings from a Saks
Fifth Avenue department store at a mall
in Atlantas upscale Buckhead neighborhood, didnt immediately return a
phone call and email seeking comment
Wednesday.
Authorities have said Payne has lifted pricey baubles from countless jewelry stores around the world in an illicit
career that has spanned six decades.
The legend of Paynes alleged thefts
have long fascinated the public and
media, with countless news stories and
a 2013 documentary film, The Life and
Crimes of Doris Payne, detailing her
feats.
When asked about her exploits in an
interview with The Associated Press
earlier this year, she said simply: I
was a thief.
Court papers in Atlanta reference six
cases prior to the alleged theft last
year, mostly in southern California,
dating to 1999.
Payne was raised in West Virginia and
moved with her family to Ohio when
she was a teenager.
Authorities have said she has used at
least 22 aliases over the years and
probably got away more often than
she was caught, though she has done
several stints in prison.

Teen robbed at
knifepoint in South City
A teenage boy was robbed at knifepoint in
South San Francisco on Wednesday
evening, according to police.
Around 7:50 p.m., the 17-year-old victim
was walking on the 100 block of West
Orange Avenue when the suspect approached
and robbed him, then fled on West Orange
toward C Street, police said.
The suspect was described as a black male
between his late teens and mid 20s who is
about 5 feet 9 inches tall and wore a darkcolored hooded sweatshirt and dark-colored
jeans.
The victim was not injured in the robbery.
Anyone with information about the case is
encouraged to call South San Francisco
police at (650) 877-8900, a tip line at (650)

urban forest lovers and environmentalists
opposed to redevelopment efforts at Sharp
Park Golf Course in Pacifica.
The joint hearing by the Planning
Commission and Recreation and Parks
Commission was held to review the final
environmental impact report on a Natural
Areas Management Plan covering 32 natural
areas in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, including Twin Peaks, Mt. Davidson,
McLaren Park, Bernal Heights and Sharp
Park.
Those areas comprise around 1,100 acres
and include 30 miles of trails and more than
140 species of plants and animals, city
recreation and parks officials said Thursday.
Much of the plan is receiving widespread
support, but a number of environmental
groups including the Sierra Club, Wild
Equity, Audubon Society and the Center for
Biological Diversity Thursday called upon
commission members to remove redevelopment plans for a golf course at Sharp Park in
Pacifica and handle them separately.
The golf course, which includes wetlands
habitat for endangered red-legged frogs and
San Francisco garter snakes, has been the
subject of repeated litigation and legislative
battles between environmentalists and city
officials over the years. City plans include
the relocation of the 12th hole.
Brent Plater, executive director for the
group Wild Equity, said the city had initially said it would treat any changes at Sharp
Park as a separate project, but later added the
golf course redevelopment to the natural
areas management plan, meaning it would
not undergo additional environmental
review.
I hope the commissioners will not overlook this bait and switch that has been done
with Sharp Park, Plater said.

OPINION
Guest perspective
now be
applied to
the internet.
My
point is,
this is
nothing
new. The
sinking of
the USS
Maine
spurred the
SpanishAmerican
War after
inammatory news stories blamed Spain.
Judith Miller of the New York Times
covered Iraqs Weapons of Mass
Destruction program leading up to the
2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and it
turned out that her stories were based
on false intelligence. These are just
two examples of spurious reporting
that led to war. Are these two examples of fake news? Yes.
So what do I think of fake news? I
dont like it and its bad for our society. Do I think its a huge problem? In
the big picture, not really. But it does
prove we must be wary of what we
read, even if it seems to have some
verisimilitude. There is also the matter of personal responsibility. My
responsibility, and I take this
extremely seriously, is that the Daily
Journal report the truth. But as I
explained earlier, we rely on our readers to point out our mistakes and also
point us in new directions as stories
change.
As far as what we read elsewhere,
particularly social media, it is all of
our responsibility to stop fretting
about fake news, look ahead and learn
to look at everything with a keener
eye.

Hours after Uber launched a self-driving
service Wednesday morning with a handful of
Volvo luxury SUVs, the DMV sent the company a letter saying the move was illegal
because the cars did not have a special permit
the department requires for putting
autonomous vehicles on public roads.
As of Wednesday night, the Volvos distinctive in look with sensors protruding from
their tops were still roaming San
Franciscos streets. The company did not
respond to a request for comment about the
states legal threat.
If Uber does not confirm immediately that
it will stop its launch and seek a testing permit, DMV will initiate legal action, DMV
Chief Counsel Brian Soublet wrote the company. He referenced the possibility of taking
Uber to court.

Two San Mateo County prep football programs are on the cusp of history this week.
Serra and Menlo-Atherton are both seeking
California Interscholastic Federation state
bowl championships in Divisions 2-A and
3-AA, respectively.
No county high school has captured a
state football title of any kind since 1926
when San Mateo beat Covina 20-0 in
Burlingame to win the overall CIF crown.
Another strong San Mateo team returned
to the playoffs in 1927 but did not advance
to the championship game.
In those long-ago days, the state had a
very compact playoff system and just a single division for all. That arrangement was
discontinued not long after San Mateos
1927 playoff appearance. There was no
state championship tournament for nearly
80 years.
A new, altered statewide bowl system, to
accommodate the CIFs 10 separate geographic sections, was instituted in 2006,
with three divisions competing for state
titles. Rather modest at the start, the setup
has morphed into an ambitious 13-division
affair culminating in bowl games to be
M-A
Continued from page 11
M-A will be relying on all its weapons as
the team travels to Lancaster for the CIF
Division 3-AA State Championship Bowl
game Saturday at Antelope Valley College at
6 p.m. The Bears (12-2 overall) will be taking on Southern California champion
Paraclete-Lancaster (11-4), a lightning-fast
team led by first-year head coach Dean
Harrington.
The two teams both started slow this season. While M-A opened its season with two
straight losses, Paraclete dropped its first
three. Since dropping its regular-season
finale to Sierra Canyon the team Serra
will be taking on in the CIF Division 2-A
State Championship Bowl game
Paraclete has rallied to five straight postseason wins, including a victory in the
Southern Section championship game two
weeks ago against Los Altos-Hacienda
Heights and a 34-18 win over powerhouse
Mater Dei Catholic last week in the
Division 3-AA regional championship
game.
SERRA
Continued from page 11
Player of the Year, although Leki has been
up and down through injuries (this season), Walsh said. Weve had great players
(at Serra during my tenure) but theyre
not quarterbacks.
The one defensive piece Walsh knew
would fit was middle linebacker TC Lavulo,
even if that piece went missing for the first
weeks of the season because of injuries. Its
no coincidence that when Lavulo returned to
the lineup full time in Week 5, it was the
start of the Padres 10-game winning streak.
Shifting pieces
Then Walsh had a pile of other pieces that
he had to put together. The problem was
finding the right fit. Unlike a traditional
jigsaw puzzle which has a set outcome, the
puzzle that is football is constantly changing. A piece might not fit right in one spot,
but is perfect for another. Thats when the
Serra coaching staff moved the likes of Josh
Fernando and Clark Chase, a couple of linemen slated for offense this season, and
moved them to the defensive side of the
ball. Or Kepu Fonua going from nose tackle
to starting center.
Ian Schwabb and James Halpin, who started their Serra careers playing football
before concentrating on other sports, asked
to return to the football team just before the
start of the season.
The 15-years-ago me would have said
no, Walsh said, adding he has changed
his philosophy over the years. The ultimate
question Walsh asked was: can these guys
help the team? With the answer being yes,
they were back on the squad.
After taking the first month to get into
football shape, the two eventually moved
into starting roles on defense.
I knew they were great athletes and I had
been recruiting them in the halls for years,
Walsh said.

NBA brief
Draymond Green believes
lower-tier NBA players deserve more
OAKLAND Draymond Green is speaking up for all the backups and role players of the NBA world.
While Green insists he has more than enough money and if
he fails to use it wisely over his lifetime thats his own fault he
is determined to dish out another key assist in a long list of them
already this season for Golden State: The Warriors player representative vows to do his part in helping the lower-level guys of
the league earn a little more.
I was one of those guys nobody would stand up for, he said.
A day after the sides reached an agreement in principle on a new
labor deal, Green offered the idea of a restructuring that would feature fewer players at the minimum salary level. The average salary
is expected to hit $8.5 million next season and rise to $10 million by 2020-21, while minimums across the board will increase
by 45 percent starting next season.
Its not about where my status is at as an All-Star. Youll be
taken care of. As a superstar in this league, youll be taken care of.
So its not more so about us, its more so about the guys who
arent on that level, Green said. Youre living pretty good if
youre in the NBA. I dont want someone to look at me and say
that I am inconsiderate about everyone elses life outside the
NBA.
Green stressed that the last thing he wants people to think is
that he is somehow complaining or that anybody in the NBAis at
the hardship level of many Americans.
WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
Golden State notched its third game with 40 or more
assists, the first team with three 40-assist games since the
Chicago Bulls in 1996-97. The Warriors had a franchiserecord 47 assists Nov. 23 against the Lakers.
Tip-ins
Kni cks : Anthony said he bruised his shoulder diving for
a ball against the Lakers on Sunday in Los Angeles. Rose
had a sore lower back. ... New York, which hosts the
Warriors on March 5, has been swept in the season series
the past two years and not won a season series since 200001.
Warri o rs : An MRI earlier Tuesday on C Zaza Pachulias
injured right wrist showed a contusion. He missed his fourth
straight game. ... Golden State had more than 30 assists for
the 19th time. ... F David West sustained a right hip contusion midway through the fourth and didnt return. ... Curry

deadly Ghost Ship warehouse fire Dec. 2 nearby in Oakland

SAGER
Continued from page 11
tribute to his father, tweeting: We packed a lifetime and then
some into these 28 years together.
Sagers passing brought out condolences from every corner of
the NBA and Hall of Famer Larry Bird expressed what many were
feeling.
He was as identifiable with the NBA as any player or coach,
Bird said in a statement. The league will not be the same without him.
Magic Johnson echoed those sentiments on Twitter.
The NBA family lost a legend who changed the way sideline
reporters did their job. RIP Craig Sager, Johnson said.
Sager had a third bone marrow transplant at the end of August
in Houston to fight an aggressive form of leukemia. To no ones
surprise, he was characteristically cheerful .
It really isnt all that painful, not physically, he said then.
I think the hardest toll is mentally and emotionally. I have this
thing of positive thinking. I think if you think something is
going to be right and you think positive then you feel that way
and if you feel that way youll act that way. I try not to get down.
Sager announced in April 2014 that he had been diagnosed
with acute myeloid leukemia, and he missed the playoffs and
much of the following season as he underwent two bone marrow
transplants.
Sager, who worked basketball games for TNT for nearly a quarter-century, revealed in March 2016 that his leukemia was no
longer in remission. He said doctors told him the typical prognosis was three to six months to live, but I am receiving the
best treatment in the world and I remain fully confident I will win
this battle.
Ringin it
At halftime, Durant, Green and Thompson received their
USA Basketball Olympic champion rings from their winning run in Rio de Janeiro.
Up next
Kni cks : At Denver on Saturday looking to snap an eightgame road losing streak to the Nuggets and three-game skid
overall.
Warri o rs : Host Portland on Saturday in a rematch of last
seasons Western Conference semifinals and seeking a
fourth straight victory over the Trail Blazers.
His battle brought out the soft side of
Gregg Popovich, the prickly San Antonio
Spurs coach with whom he had many memorable exchanges during in-game interviews.
Sager never faulted Popovich for his gruff
attitude during those interviews, saying
hes trying to win a game. He doesnt want
to talk to some reporter. But he said they
had a great relationship.
Craig Sager
Later, he said, Youre still going to be
media on the court, but off the court can I call you and see how
youre doing? I said: Heck yes, Sager recalled in August. Just
keep treating me the way on the court you always do. He said: I
wouldnt want it any other way.
Sager sported suits in every color of the rainbow and plenty of
shades not found in nature, from teal to fuchsia to magenta. He
would match plaid blazers with paisley ties or striped shirts
all in bold hues.
Sagers persistence was on display at the start of his career,
when the 22-year-old found himself in the middle of one of the
most famous moments in sports history. Making $95 a week in
1974 as the news director at WSPB a Braves-affiliated AM
radio station in Sarasota, Florida Sager risked getting fired by
deciding to hop a flight to Atlanta for a game with Hank Aaron a
home run away from breaking Babe Ruths career record.
With a last-minute credential, Sager was stuck in the third-base
photographers well. As the historic homer sailed out of the
park, Sager, without thinking, sprinted onto the field and wound
up chasing Aaron down the third-base line. When Aarons teammates mobbed him at home plate, Sager can be seen in his trench
coat in the middle of the scrum.
Sager worked as a reporter on the Olympics, Major League
Baseball playoffs, the NFL and the NCAA Tournament, among
other sports. But he was indelibly connected to the NBA.

SHELTER
Continued from page 1
With Christmas fast approaching, the
48-year-old former Burlingame resident
held back tears while describing how his
elderly mother was sent to a nursing home
when he couldnt afford a place to rent.
Making matters worse, hes disabled having undergone heart surgery last year and
living with a spinal disorder that leaves
him reliant on a walker.
We were homeless, we didnt know
where to go. At first, we didnt know
Samaritan House existed, Thaddus said,
referring to the nonprofit that operates the
90-bed shelter. My mind was all topsyturvy. I have mom, an 89-year-old with
dementia, and I couldnt make ends meet.
The ultimate goal is to try to get her and I
housing. I dont care if its a shack. Just
that its livable.
Thaddus is one of hundreds who will
spend the winter at a local homeless shelter
supported by a network of nonprofits and
the countys Human Services Agency.
Between those needing emergency assistance and others lucky enough to get into
longer term interim housing, theres 613
shelter beds in San Mateo County nearly
all of which are full throughout the year.
We see demand year-round in all of our
shelters for individuals and for our families.
I think what that tells you is a couple
things. We have an ongoing homeless crisis that we dont have enough capacity to
handle, and we also have a housing crisis
where folks are getting priced out of the
market, people you never thought would be
homeless are out on the streets, said Bruce
Ives, CEO of LifeMoves, a nonprofit that
runs shelters in San Mateo and Santa Clara
counties.
While shelters have long served clients
with addiction issues as well as physical or
mental health disorders, theres an increasing population of seniors and those who
cant make ends meet, said Ives and
remain focused on building a support network and working with her doctors. Even
though shed be spending the holidays at
Safe Harbor, she had a positive outlook following a Thanksgiving visit with her
daughter and grandchild, as well as news
Tuesday shed finally received a housing
voucher.
KLEIN

to pursue their shared dream of competing
on the show.
I think I set the record for most tears
shed on Survivor. The whole experience
was incredibly emotional for me, he said.
For some people this is a story on TV, but
for me, this is my life.
Despite surviving a variety of adversities during his time on the show, Klein
said nothing could prepare him for discussing his mothers memory before a
massive television audience.
I really wanted to make it more about
her life than how she passed away, he
said. Its a lot of pressure, and it was a
very emotional Its a strange thing to
have to go on live, national TV and talk
about something so deeply personal.
Klein spent a portion of his time on the
show raising awareness and money for the
fight against lung cancer. In the last six
months, he has raised $60,000 independently, and a fundraiser organized by Stand
Up To Cancer announced on the finale
raised an additional $40,000.
Should the Stand Up To Cancer fund reach
$100,000 in donations by the end of the
month, pharmaceutical company BristolMyers Squibb has announced it will match
the grant. With additional offers, Klein
said he hopes to raise about $350,000 to
fuel research seeking a cure.
That would be a huge amount of
money, he said.
Klein flew to Los Angeles with his father
and brother as he was announced the winner ahead of two other finalists, after
being selected the unanimous victor by 10
other former fellow contestants.
The shows season pitted 10 millennials, or people born between 1984 and
1997, against 10 others from Generation
X, who were born between 1963 and 1982.
Over the season, contestants competed
in a series of athletic and intellectual challenges to advance on the show which
A moving target
The current extent of the countys homeless population isnt quite clear.
Biennially, San Mateo County participates
in the national one-day count a point-intime survey of those who are homeless
either in shelters or on the streets.
January will offer a new set of data, but
the 2015 survey identified about 1,772
people experiencing homeless on a single
night, said Effie Verducci, communications
manager with the countys Human Services
Agency.
The ultimate goal is to eliminate homelessness in the county by 2020 and
Verducci noted a stay at a shelter can be pivotal by introducing clients to the services
offered such as mental health screening,
job training or financial literacy programs.
But like the nonprofit workers, the county is seeing an uptick in those facing a selfsufficiency gap people who work and
may not qualify for federal aid, but still
cant afford the regions high cost of living, Verducci said.
Ives agreed, adding he doubts whether the
countys shelter system has ever been this
tight as the regional affordability crisis
continues to squeeze.
Its pretty clear that the housing crisis is
so challenging in this area, it clearly
affects low-income families, but its starting to affect more and more middle-income
families, Ives said, adding its concerning
to see the rate of seniors affected.
Increasingly were seeing people who
come with no history of addiction, no history of mental illness, no criminal record.
The only thing that has happened to them
is they grew old on a fixed income in one of
the most expensive places to live.
Those needing assistance are encouraged
to call 211 for more information about the
county s serv ices or to connect with a core
agency.
began airing in September, while also
enduring a cyclone, cold weather as well as
limited access to food or comfortable
sleeping arrangements.
Despite the unfavorable conditions,
Klein said his determination to win never
lapsed.
I wasnt focused on food. I wasnt
focused on the quality of sleep I was getting. I was there to play the game and win
the game for my family, and that is what I
put all my energy toward. And I did it, he
said.
After watching the show, Klein said he
was impressed with the ability of the production team to make it seem as if he was
close to being voted off the island,
because he did not feel threatened as a contestant.
No one was predicting that I was going
to win. The editors did a great job. But in
reality, I was never really in danger of
being targeted, he said.
The fierce competition bred companionship among all the contestants, who Klein
said he hopes to maintain a friendship
with in the coming years.
It was just an incredible group of warmhearted people I made some strong
bonds that will last the rest of my life, he
said.
Such an ability to establish tight friendships with fellow contestants was a key
component to his success on the show,
said Klein.
People go into reality television saying they are not there to make friends.
That wont work on Survivor. You have to
make friends along the way to win, he
said.
Fellow Burlingame native Mari
Takahashi also appeared on this season of
the show, but was eliminated in the second
episode.
Klein said all the contestants have plans
to visit Las Vegas together this weekend in
an unofficial reunion. But considering his
sizable financial reward for winning, Klein
said hell be expected to shoulder some of
the bill for the trip.
Ill be picking up the rooms, he said.

The rebels-as-protagonists has always

insurgency and revolt are reserved for

aters Friday, kicking off Lucasfilm and
Disneys spinoff gamble. There are already
two more in the works, including a young
Han Solo standalone for 2018. The plan is
to release the spinoffs in the gap years
between the next two installments of the
main saga (Episode VIII comes out next
December.).
If Marvel can have a universe, after all,
why cant Star Wars? The idea of spinning
off Star Wars, though, has existed about as
long as the idea of Star Wars, but three
decades ago, that was more of a TV-special or
straight-to-video proposition. Now, the
spinoffs are as important as the main films
and are being given the full blockbuster
treatment big budgets (reports say $200
million), burgeoning stars and hefty marketing expenses. Lucasfilm chief Kathleen
Kennedy has promised that theyll run the
gamut in size, scope and genre, too.
For Rogue One, they chose British
director Gareth Edwards, known for the indie
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Monsters and the 2014 Godzilla reboot.
He lived and breathed Star Wars a
requirement for executives who want caretakers for the franchise.
Edwards film is set in a time of conflict
and unrest, as the Empire grows and various
rebel factions assemble in resistance, introducing a whole batch of new characters: The
heroine Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones); her scientist father, Galen (Mads Mikkelsen); a rebel
spy, Cassian (Diego Luna) and his sarcastic
droid K-2SO (Alan Tudyk); an extremist, Saw
Gerrera (Forest Whitaker); and a pilot for the
Empire, Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed).
Inspired by WWII classics like The Guns
of Navarone, and shot by Zero Dark
Thirty cinematographer Greig Fraser,
Rogue One promises to be a grittier film,
putting the war back in Star Wars.
We tried to feel embedded like a real film
crew in a war zone and give it that kind of
flavor, said Edwards, who was sometimes
literally in the trenches with the cast.
Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Imperial
Officer Orson Krennic, said its pretty
intense.
There is a lot of battle, Mendelsohn said.
This is a tougher Star Wars film, in certain
respects, than any of its predecessors.

contender being ranked as third on the
list of possibilities, followed by the
Hillsdale Plaza and a costly underground tunnel along Delaware Street.
It was clear that in terms of monetary and social impacts, two out of the
three were trending similar on the least
impacts and two were trending on the
high impact and high cost side. Then
there was one in the middle, Fiesta
Gardens, which while from an engineering standpoint, had a lot of benefits, it was definitely the hot spot in
terms of community disagreement,
said Commission Vice Chair Kara Cox.
The tank is part of San Mateos $900
million Clean Water Program, a massive overhaul of its wastewater treatment plant prompted in part by state
mandates the city cease discharging
untreated sewage into the Bay which
occurs when an influx of stormwater
maxes out the plants capacity.
Now, the city must decide where to
install an underground basin as a means
to protect the environment by temporarily holding the water for about 24
hours until it can be pumped to the
plant and properly treated.
The next stop will be for staff to
present the options, the commissions
recommendations and public input to
the City Council Jan. 17. After the
council confirms up to two preferred
alternatives, staff will further evaluate
the sites pros and cons.
