San Carlos may get high school


Sequoia Union High School District is in need of more space, city without high school for years
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The potential purchase of land on Old


County Road in San Carlos to build a 400student magnet school for an overcrowding
high school district has some community
members concerned about traffic and parking issues, while a state regulation may put
limitations on a school from being built
that close to the train tracks.
To quell its lack of space, the Sequoia

Union High School District placed a voterapproved $265 facilities bond measure on
the ballot last spring that will add six additional classrooms to Menlo-Atherton High
School. It will also help fund building two
new small magnet schools of 300 to 400
students each, one on the north side and one
on the south side of the district that runs
from San Carlos down to Menlo Park. The
district has signed a contract for 535 Old
County Road, located between Holly Street
and San Carlos Avenue near El Camino Real.

The property is currently a light warehouse


industrial space and will close on the deal if
it turns out to be a usable property for a
high school, said Superintendent Jim
Lianides.
Were in the process of doing some environmental studies to make sure its usable,
he said. Traffic is part of what we would be
looking at. Our interest is the availability
near public transit; its very accessible
because its near Holly too. If we develop it
as a school, we would very much promote it

(taking public transit).


The contract, signed several weeks ago,
gives the district a 60-day due diligence
period to conduct studies, Lianides said. The
district is working with a couple of brokers
who are specialists in commercial properties and is still looking for a location in the
south, east Menlo Park area, he said. The
district is pretty confident it will have a new
north side magnet open by fall 2017, said
Trustee Alan Sarver.

The iconic Carlos Club sign, a


neon marquee landmark on El
Camino Real, for several decades
may shine bright again after several weeks dimmed under new proprietorship.
The San Carlos City Council
Monday night gave the city attorney authority to force John Lees
hand in court if the owner of the
Rail Sports Bar and Club the
new occupant of the space formerly housing the Carlos Club
doesnt undo the change hes made
to the sign since opening.
However, Lee indicated himself at
the meeting his willingness to
restore the missing lightbulbs and
start from scratch with the required
sign permit and design review
process.

John Lee, owner of the Rail Sports


Bar and Club, will restore the former
Carlos Clubs sign and lights.
I hear everything very clearly,
Lee said. We do not have a plan to
remove the sign.
Lees comments came on the
heels of several speakers who
noted the signs historical significance and called for its preservation. Sandra Althouse of the San

Aging pipes cause issues for water agencies

City may revisit license plate reader idea

El Granada residents suffer from leaking pipe this week

By Michelle Durand

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Replacing aging infrastructure is a continuous challenge for many water providers


and the combination of failing pipelines
with statewide conditions, such as the
drought and seismic activity, can lead to
consequences.
The Coastside County Water District, the
California Water Service Company and the

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission


have all experienced water main failures
with varying consequences as the providers
seek to balance financial and consumer
restrictions.
Most recently, about 150 El Granada residents were advised to boil their drinking
water for nearly two days after a more than
40-year-old Coastside County Water District

Holiday food drives in full swing


Protein items, long-lasting canned foods particularly important
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With some Peninsula residents having to choose between eating and


paying rent, food banks in the region
are hoping to pitch in during a particularly trying time of year.
Second Harvest Food Bank, which
serves clients in San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties, is in the middle of its
Holiday Food and Fund Drive with a
goal of raising $15 million and 2 million pounds of food. A dollar donation
can go a long way to getting those in
need fed, said the nonprofits CEO
Kathy Jackson. The most-needed nonperishable food is protein items,
including canned tuna, peanut butter,
canned stew, meat and healthy soup,
she said. The bank has christened one
section of its donation warehouse
squash alley because of the influx of
squash it has received. Canned goods
are always a good donation though
since they will be good two to four
months from now.
Sometimes we say 51 weeks a year
we talk about food and funds and one
week a year we talk about turkey,
Jackson said. We can take a dollar
and provide the equivalent of two
nutritious meals. The need increases around the time of the holidays
because of the time of year, theres
just more things going on that
deplete an already strained paycheck.
It all adds up with presents for

more than 25,000 bags of groceries
to families and individuals in need.
Holidays boxes, toys and Target gift

The group collects boxes filled with

Facing health law hikes,


consumers mull options
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Consumers across


most of America will see their health
insurance premiums go up next year
for popular plans under President
Barack Obamas health care law.
But it will take time for families to
figure out the best bang for their budgets even as a bigger political battle
brews over the programs future.
For many people, government subsidies will cushion the hit. And theres
a new factor: Returning customers who
are savvy about health insurance and
prepared to shop for a better deal.
Scott Joens of St. George, Utah, said
he and his wife are facing premium
increases of about 18 percent for
2015. But instead of agonizing, hes
looking for a plan with a higher
deductible, which is the amount of
medical expenses that consumers are
responsible for each year before insurance kicks in. By switching, he could
lower his monthly premiums.
Joens, in his 50s and semi-retired
from the pharmacy business, said hell
worry if the trend keeps going.
Its not a major hardship, he said.
But I still have some years until I am
on Medicare. My worry is by the time
Im 65, who knows where this will
be? Overall, he said hes been very

satisfied with his gold plan this
year.
Experts say numbers alone dont tell
the story.
How all this shakes out will depend
on one big wild card, said Larry Levitt
of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation. Will current enrollees
become savvy shoppers or just sit
back and stay in their current plans?
This is a new program with no prece-

dent, so theres no way to predict


exactly what will happen.
In a departure from the process that
officials followed last year, the administration has not released its own
analysis of 2015 premiums. Instead, it
published raw data, leaving it to independent experts to parse the numbers.
What they are finding points to an
overall trend of rising premiums,
although not everywhere.

Attempted murder charge dropped in teen, neighbor attack


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A 22-year-old Redwood City man


accused of attacking his girlfriends
teen sister on Halloween, breaking her
jaw, and severely beating a neighbor
who intervened will stand trial for her
attempted murder but not his.
After a preliminary hearing, a judge
held Kelson Aweau on all charges,
including the premeditated attempted
murder of the 17-year-old girl, but not
the same count in the neighbors
attack. Instead, he will be tried on
felony assault for that act. He is also
charged with two counts of aggravated
mayhem and one count of elder abuse.

Aweau returns to
court Dec. 10 to
enter a Superior
Court plea and
potentially set a
trial date.
The motive for
the attack remains
unclear. Aweau and
Kelson Aweau his girlfriend, with
whom hed recently
moved in at her parents East Oakwood
Boulevard home, had spent Oct. 31
drinking at the San Francisco Giants
victory parade. That night around
10:30 p.m., Aweau reportedly struck

the sister in the front yard several


times in the head and body with an
object. She was left with a serious
brain bleed and head wound requiring
more than 30 staples.
A 74-year-old neighbor responding
to her screaming said Aweau also struck
him in the forehead, leaving a gash
that needed 39 stitches to close.
A bloody Aweau allegedly woke his
girlfriend to say he had beaten up the
two people and then he fled. He
returned 10 hours later and was arrested.
Aweau remains in custody without
bail.

Ex gets 90 days for stalking former girlfriends husband


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A 38-year-old man who prosecutors


say called his former girlfriends husband dozens of times with threats of
harm and eventually went to the couples Half Moon Bay home to have it
out was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days
jail.
Andrew Hopkins Rustad must also
spend three years on probation for the
incidents earlier this year. Rustad
pleaded no contest in August to felony
stalking in return for no more than a
year in jail. He has credit of three days

against his term and


must surrender to
the county jail Feb.
14.
Rustad reportedly
began a romantic
relationship
last
summer with his
alleged
victims
Andrew Rustad wife. In December,
she left her husband
to move in with Rustad but asked to
come back on Jan. 8 because she said
he was verbally abusive, according to
prosecutors.

Throughout the night of Jan. 8 and


into the next day, Rustad allegedly
called 68 times and left 24 messages of
escalating threats such as being outside the home waiting to get him.
Sheriffs deputies could not locate
Rustad but were called to the couples
gated community early the next morning because he was there to see the husband. Deputies arrested Rustad and
reported him saying he was there to
have it out with the victim, according
to prosecutors.
Rustad is free from custody on
$250,000 bail.

Window washer fights for life after 11-story fall


SAN FRANCISCO A 58-year-old window washer who fell
11 stories from a building onto a moving car is fighting for
his life and opens his eyes when relatives speak to him, his
family said.
The mans name and hometown have not been released.
San Francisco General Hospital released a statement from
his family, who asked to not be identified.
We are amazed that he fell from such a high distance and
still survived. Landing on the car really helped, and we are so
thankful for that, the statement said.
Police said the man was moving equipment on the roof of a
bank building in San Franciscos financial district and not on
a window-washing platform when he fell at 10 a.m. Friday.
He is a stubborn, strong man, and he is fighting for his
life. He has had several surgeries and is still in critical condition, but doing a little better, the statement says. We would
also like to thank San Francisco General Hospital and all the
doctors that never left his side. They have exceeded anything
we could have hoped for him.
In the statement, the family thanked a nurse and firefighters who helped him.
This is a hard time for our family, and we ask for privacy.
We appreciate everyones concern and hope to give another
update when he is doing better, the statement said.
The man, who has a wife and three daughters, remains in
critical condition but is doing better than doctors expected,
according to the statement.
Many came forward to help the man when he fell. But it was
not clear Friday if people are coming forward with cash donations or if a bank account has been set up to help his family.
Hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said she was not
aware of such an account.

Lawmakers target
Golden Gate Bridge sidewalk fee
SAN FRANCISCO Two California lawmakers plan to
introduce legislation to block a possible sidewalk toll on the
Golden Gate Bridge.
Assemblymen Phil Ting and Marc Levine said at a news
conference Tuesday that a sidewalk toll would be the wrong
message to send when officials are trying to cut greenhouse
gas pollution and encourage people to walk and bike.
The bridges board of directors voted last month to study
the toll as part of an effort to close a projected five-year
deficit of $33 million.
Bridge spokeswoman Priya Clemens says the board will be
able to respond once its members have had a chance to review
the legislation. For now, staff will continue to study the possible fee.
The bridge had a 10-cent sidewalk toll from May 1937 to
December 1970.

Morning dryer fire damages home


A home on the 1600 block of Robin Whipple Way in
Belmont had significant smoke damage from a dryer fire
Monday morning, according to Belmont police.
At approximately 9:05 a.m., Belmont police and fire units
responded to the house on the report of a clothes dryer on fire
and found smoke coming out of the open front door. The resident got out of the house before firefighters arrived and was
not hurt, according to police.
Electrical problems were the likely cause and the street near
the house was closed for about an hour, according to police.

Calorie count to
appear with many
prepared foods
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Diners will


soon know how many calories are
in that bacon cheeseburger at a
chain restaurant, the pasta salad in
the supermarket salad bar and even
that buttery tub of popcorn at the
movie theater.
The
Food
and
Drug
Administration announced longdelayed calorie labeling rules
Tuesday, requiring establishments
that sell prepared foods and have
20 or more locations to post the
calorie content of food and beverages clearly and conspicuously
on their menus, menu boards and
displays. Companies have until a
year from now to comply.
Americans eat and drink about
one-third of their calories away
from home, and people today
expect clear information about the
products they consume, FDA
Commissioner Margaret Hamburg
said.

WHERE YOULL SEE THE LABELS


Calorie content will appear on
menus and menu boards in chain
restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops,
pizza delivery stores, movie theaters, amusement parks and any
other locations that are part of a
larger chain and serve prepared
foods. They will also apply to some
prepared foods in supermarkets and
convenience stores.
The idea is that people may avoid
that burger and fries if they add up

the calories and retailers may


make their foods healthier to keep
calorie counts down.
The menus and menu boards will
tell diners that a 2,000-calorie diet
is used as the basis for daily nutrition, noting that individual calorie
needs may vary. Additional nutritional information beyond calories, including sodium, fats, sugar
and other items, must be available
upon request.

WHY THE
RULES WERE DELAYED
Calorie labeling became law as
part of health overhaul in early
2010, almost five years ago.
Hamburg says writing the rules was
challenging because of the need to
navigate concerns of the varied
establishments that sell food.
Supermarkets, convenience stores
and pizza deliverers lobbied hardest
against the rules.
Restaurant chains went along
with the rule as a way to dodge an
uneven patchwork of local rules and
pushed for the other establishments
to be included.

GROCERY STORE CONFUSION


Representatives of supermarkets
have said the rules could cover thousands of items in each store, far
more than restaurants. To address
that, FDA excluded prepared foods
that are typically intended for more
than one person to eat and require
more preparation, like deli meats,
cheeses or bulk deli salads. But a
sandwich sold in a grocery store

The menus and menu boards will tell diners that a 2,000-calorie diet is used as the basis for daily nutrition, noting
that individual calorie needs may vary.
would have to have a calorie label.
In some cases foods will have to
be labeled in one part of the store
but not in another. Cut fruit would
be labeled in a salad bar, for example, but not in a container for sale,
because that is generally meant to
take home and eat over a period of
time. The FDA says the idea is to
label calories of foods that are
meant to be eaten at the store or as
takeout, rather than for further
preparation at home.
Leslie G. Sarasin, president and
CEO of the Food Marketing
Institute, said the group is extremely disappointed in the rules, which
she said will affect stores offerings
of fresh, minimally processed,
locally produced items such as cut
cantaloupe, mixed salads or
steamed seafood.

BOOZE INCLUDED
One surprise in the final rules is

that alcoholic drinks will have to


be labeled if they are listed on
menus. Alcohol had been exempted
in rules proposed three years ago.
Nutrition advocates say customers often dont realize how
many calories they are drinking
when they order beverages like
margaritas and ice cream drinks.
Drinks ordered at the bar wont have
to be labeled if they arent on a
menu.

WILL IT WORK?
New York City was first in the
country to put a calorie-posting law
in place, and other cities and states
have followed. McDonalds and
other restaurant chains already put
calorie labels on menus and menu
boards. The labels are popular with
many, but its too soon to know
whether theyll affect obesity rates.
A recent Agriculture Department
study found the diets of people who

use nutritional information are


markedly better than those who
dont, and healthy eaters had more
interest in the labels. The USDA
paper concluded that it may be too
optimistic to expect that those
who dont use nutrition information will adopt healthier diets if
exposed to it.

WHATS NEXT
Even before the new rules were
announced, some Republicans in
Congress had expressed concern
that they would be too burdensome.
Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri
Republican, introduced a bill in the
Senate earlier this year that would
narrow the scope of the labeling.
He said in a statement Tuesday that
the regulations could hurt job
growth and impose unnecessary
costs on some businesses. He said
he would continue to push back
on the rules.

Economy posts even stronger growth in Q3


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy grew


even faster in the third quarter than initially
thought, posting the strongest six months
of growth in more than a decade and pulling
further ahead of other big economies of the
world.
The gross domestic product, the countrys
total output of goods and services, expanded
at a healthy 3.9 percent annual rate in the
July-September period, the Commerce
Department reported Tuesday. Thats a
notable jump from its first estimate of 3.5
percent. The revision was propelled higher
by more robust consumer and business
spending.
Together with a 4.6 percent surge in the
spring, the country has recorded its biggest
back-to-back quarterly performance since
2003.
The question of whether the economy is
accelerating or will accelerate is no longer a
question; we can say somewhat definitively
that the economy has already accelerated,
said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at
BTIG, in a research note.
In contrast, other advanced economies are
struggling.
The eurozone economy barely grew in the
third quarter, and inflation is a mere 0.4 percent, raising concerns of deflation. Japan
unexpectedly found itself back in recession
in the July-September period. And momentum in emerging economies like China and
Brazil is also shaky.
Tuesdays data further pushes the worlds
biggest economy onto a different page
than Europe and Japan, said Jennifer Lee,
senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
Fueling third-quarter growth was consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. That climbed at a
2.2 percent rate in the three-month period,

an improvement from an initial estimate of


1.8 percent. Business investment in equipment shot up at a 10.7 percent rate, revised
up from 7.2 percent.
GDP has been on a roller coaster this year.
It started with a steep slide in activity in the
first three months of the year when the
economy contracted at a 2.1 percent rate,
largely due to a severe winter.
Analysts believe momentum could decelerate to around 2.5 percent in the current
quarter but then pick up again in 2015. They
expect growth of around 3 percent, representing a sustained acceleration in activity
six years after the Great Recession.
Since the recession ended in June 2009,
growth in the U.S. has averaged at subpar
rates just above 2 percent. The lackluster
recovery has been blamed on the financial
crisis and the severity of the recession. Such
downturns are usually harder to recover from
because it requires repairs to the banking
system to get credit flowing again.
But economists believe 2015 will be the
year when the recovery shifts into a higher
gear, in part because they expect the government itself to help. Government spending grew at a 4.2 percent rate in the third
quarter, the strongest performance since the
spring of 2009. The gain was bolstered by a
16 percent surge in defense spending.
The optimism is being fueled by modifications in government budget and tax policies. Across-the-board cuts in government
spending and tax increases approved to control huge budget deficits had been holding
back growth. By next year, economists
believe a better budget picture will begin to
pay off and fuel growth.
Meanwhile, an improving job market is
expected to provide households with more
income, boosting consumer spending. The
sharp drop in oil prices should also put more
money in Americans pocketbooks as they
spend less at the pump.

No plea in alleged DUI pedestrian death


By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The reportedly intoxicated motorist


accused of fatally striking an 84-year-old
pedestrian in a San Mateo Walgreens pharmacy drive-thru earlier this month delayed a
plea Tuesday to vehicular manslaughter
charges.
Prosecutors contend Sonia Kaur Toor, 21,
of being under the influence of drugs including marijuana the afternoon of Nov. 14 at
the Third Avenue drugstore when she threw
her Nissan minivan in reverse and accelerated backward as Nina Falk, of San Mateo,
stepped off the curb. Falk received significant head trauma and died from her injuries
the next night.
Toor refused to take a chemical test at the
scene so police obtained her blood through

a search warrant, according to the District


Attorneys Office.
Toor was originally
arrested on suspicion of
felony driving while
under the influence but
gross
vehicular
manslaughter
charges
were added after Falks
Sonia Toor
death.
At her arraignment Tuesday afternoon,
Toor held off on a plea because her courtappointed attorney was not available. She
returns to court Dec. 12 and remains in custody on $250,000 bail.
The investigation is ongoing yet no witnesses have come forward. Anyone with
information is asked to call the San Mateo
Police Departments traffic unit at 5227740.

Additional National Guard


troops roll into Ferguson
By Tom Foreman Jr.
and Jim Salter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Mo. Hundreds of


additional National Guard troops
rolled into Ferguson on Tuesday, a
day after protesters looted businesses and set fire to buildings in
a night of rage against a grand
jurys decision not to indict the
white police officer who killed
Michael Brown.
Meanwhile, officer Darren
Wilson broke his long public
silence, insisting on national television that he could not have
done anything differently in the
confrontation with Brown.
In the aftermath of Mondays
violence, Missouri governor Jay
Nixon more than tripled the number of Guard soldiers sent to the
St. Louis suburb, ordering the initial force of 700 to be increased to
2,200 in hopes that their presence
would help local law enforcement
keep order in the St. Louis suburb.
Lives and property must be
protected, Nixon said. This
community deserves to have
peace.
About 50 protesters converged
on a barricade guarded by 30 Guard
members. The group chanted
Whose streets, our streets,
This is what democracy looks
like and Hands up dont shoot,
a slogan that has become a rallying cry in protests over police
killings.
Outside police headquarters in
Ferguson, one woman was taken
into custody after protesters threw

what appeared to be smoke


bombs, flares and frozen water
bottles at a line of officers. Two
other protesters wearing masks
were arrested after defying police
instructions to get out of the
street.
Other demonstrations were held
across the country for a second
day. Hundreds of Seattle high
school students walked out of
classes, and several hundred people marched down a Cleveland
freeway ramp to block rush-hour
traffic.
During an interview with ABC
News, Wilson said he has a clean
conscience because I know I did
my job right.
Wilson, 28, had been with the
Ferguson police force for less than
three years before the Aug. 9
shooting. He told ABC Browns
shooting marked the first time he
had fired his gun on the job.
Attorneys for the Brown family
vowed to push for federal charges
against Wilson and said the grand
jury process was rigged from the
start to clear Wilson.
We said from the very beginning that the decision of this
grand jury was going to be the
direct reflection of the presentation of the evidence by the prosecutors office, attorney Anthony
Gray said. He suggested the office
of the countys top prosecutor,
Bob McCulloch, presented some
testimony to discredit the
process, including from witnesses
who did not see the shooting.

burned down, and firefighters
responded to blazes at eight others, fire officials said. Other businesses were looted, and 12 vehicles were torched.
Natalie DuBose, owner of
Natalies Cakes and More, planned
to spend Tuesday night at her business, which is only about a block
from the Ferguson Police
Department.
I have to be here because I
have orders that I have to comp l et e fo r t o mo rro w an d fo r

because of the cleanup.


A window at her business was
busted out in Monday nights turmoil.
This is my livelihood, she
said. This is the only source of
income I have to raise my children.
Browns parents made public
calls for peace in the run-up to
Mondays announcement, and on
Tuesday, their representatives
again stressed that the people setting fires were not on Michael
Browns side.
Videos that were widely circulat-

ed on Tuesday showed Browns


mother, Lesley McSpadden, standing atop a car and breaking down
as the announcement of the grand
jury decision blares over the
stereo.
Her husband, Browns stepfather, comforts her, then begins
angrily yelling Burn the bitch
down! to a crowd gathered around
him. Asked about the comment at
a news conference, family attorney Benjamin Crump said the reaction was, raw emotion. Not
appropriate at all. Completely
inappropriate.

Grand jury focused on


key fatal Ferguson tussle
By David A. Lieb and Holbrook Mohr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Missouri Some witnesses


called it a tussle. Others described it as a tugof-war. Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson testified that they were fighting over his handgun.
None of the witnesses who testified, other
than Wilson, could say exactly what was happening inside his police car, but by almost all
accounts, Michael Brown was physically
struggling with the officer through his open
window moments before he was fatally shot
on Aug. 9.
Wilson blamed it on Brown, saying the
teenager reached through his drivers side
window, hit him in the face, called him a
pussy and grabbed his gun. Wilson told the
grand jury that he pulled the trigger twice in
his own defense, but no shots went off.
At this point Im like, why isnt this
working? This guy is going to kill me if he
gets ahold of this gun. I pulled it a third time,
it goes off.
Wilsons description of his state of mind
during that initial confrontation may help
explain why jurors decided not to indict. One
of the legal standards for justifiable use of
deadly force in Missouri is whether an officer
reasonably believed his life was in danger.
Thousands of pages of testimony reviewed
by the Associated Press show the encounter

Obama: No excuse for


destructive acts in Ferguson
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama
says theres no excuse for burning buildings, torching cars and destroying property
in response to the grand jury decision in
Ferguson, Missouri.
Obama says such destructive actions are
criminal and those who are responsible
should be prosecuted.
The president is speaking in Chicago a day
after a Missouri grand jury declined to indict a

between the white police officer and the black


18-year-old started off badly, and very quickly
spiraled out of control.
Wilson had just wrapped up a call about a
sick child. Brown had just stolen a pack of
cigarillos from a convenience store. Wilson
spotted Brown and a friend walking down the
center of a residential street, and told them to
move aside. They refused, and Brown
responded with an expletive.
That was the moment when Wilson said he
realized Brown matched the description of the
robbery suspect, and decided to confront the
young men singlehandedly, backing up his
vehicle to block Browns path.
What happened next was witnessed by people in at least two passing vehicles and residents watching from the porches and balconies of nearby apartment buildings. They
told their accounts either directly to grand
jurors or to FBI interviewers, whose recordings were played for the jury. Wilson and
Browns friend, Dorian Johnson, also
recounted their versions of the struggle,
sometimes with conflicting details.
Many of the eyewitnesses from the nearby
buildings were older, had never been interviewed by the news media in the months since
the shooting, and accused younger residents
of circulating false stories about Brown having been shot while lying defenseless on the
ground.

Shop local this holiday season

his weeks Thanksgiving holiday kicks off the annual rush


to buy Christmas and other
holiday gifts for friends and loved
ones.
At one time, the ofcial kickoff was
Friday, Black Friday, when stores has
special sales and drew crowds of people looking for that special something for that special someone or
maybe just a little something for
themselves. Now, Black Friday is getting earlier, with some stores actually
open on Thanksgiving Day so people
can get an even earlier start.
Our advice? Dont go.
Commerce is ne and buying things
actually helps our economy overall.
However, the allure of a special deal
on the must-have toy or latest atscreen television is simply not worth
leaving your family gathering.
Family is important, and its good to
have one day when you are stuck with
them in the house. If you have to get
out of the house, go for a walk and

Editorial
talk. It will do everyone some good.
Besides, who needs to wait in line
while in a food coma? And just what is
wrong with the people who have
already been camping out for a sale?
But what to do about that holiday
shopping list that isnt getting any
shorter? Well, heres an idea. How
about participating in Small Business
Saturday, the day this very weekend to
spend your money at locally owned
small retailers? And furthermore, why
just do it this Saturday? Spread the
wealth, literally, the entire holiday
season.
While its true there must be something about giving and receiving the
latest electronic gadget from a big
box store, but how about something
from someone who might actually
live in the same community as you?
There are plenty of retailers from the

northern stretches of our county all


the way down to the south where you
can visit and spend and get to know
more about the people who make up
your community.
We certainly dont want to dissuade
anyone from getting specic items
from many of our large-scale shopping centers. After all, Serramonte,
Tanforan and Hillsdale all contribute
signicant tax revenue to our local
economies and there is something
to be said for their variety and selection.
It is always easy and convenient to
wait until the last minute and pick out
some items from an online retailer,
but the tax revenue goes elsewhere.
Black Friday got its name because it
is when retailers books enter the
black for the year. Wouldnt you want
to ensure that retailer is someone
close to where you live?
And if you must get that at-screen
TV, at least wait until the weekend and
buy it from a local store.

Letters to the editor


Panda, you let us down
Editor,
Well, once again it is proven that a
fan base equals nothing but money.
The 49ers proved it when they moved
to Santa Clara, charging longtime fans
fees they could not afford, making
them give up seats that were passed
through generations. Niners no longer
have the right to call them the 49er
faithful.
Now, the ultimate slap in the face,
Panda chooses Boston over San
Francisco. This is a player that fans
loved, showing it by wearing silly
panda hats. These were not just a few
fans. Many wore these symbols of
love. We loved this man, even when
he wouldnt stop eating. We loved him
through the good and bad. I doubt he is
going to get this kind of attention in
Boston.
I love sports, but once again its not
about the fans its about the dollars.
I have one suggestion, we should all
go out to AT&T Park and have a panda
hat burning. Panda, you let us down.

Commercial installations in

Editor,
If you open the door to allowing
commercial installations on singlefamily residences in residential neighborhoods, you are opening the door to
a scary precedent and neighborhood
nightmares.

AT&T proposed installing a huge


wireless commercial installation in a
private front yard on narrow hillside
street of Notre Dame Avenue in
Belmont. Their current wireless pole
across the street has been out of compliance for ve years. Now they want
to put a large three cabinet (21 cabinets total) commercial installation
with 6 feet fencing in a private front
yard, with noise, aesthetic and emissions issues (and warning signs) in a
quiet, hillside neighborhood. Of
course, they would pay the homeowner
money if he could secure the property
variance to do this, but at the Nov. 18
Belmont Planning Commission meeting, three smart commissioners did
their homework, due diligence and
stated the applicant did not meet the
ve ndings required to get a variance,
conditional use permit and design
review. The commission chair could
not nd for the applicant either,
although he preferred to hang onto it
instead of deny it.
The very scary part of this application, if approved, is that it would open
the door and set precedent in Belmont
and in the state of California to allow
commercial installations to get a variance (which run with the property if
the owner moves) to let commercial
installations into our neighborhoods.
Noise, aesthetics, emissions, safety
and vibrations are not what residents
want in their neighborhoods.
We are purportedly entitled to the
peaceful, quiet enjoyment of our property under the U.S. Constitution.

Home care

instead of backing down and cowering,
they ght. On Tuesday, the San Mateo

enough disrespect from the Board of

We stood up for ourselves in an

Uncivil liberties!
I

n a society driven by the hunt for yield and the


churn of the treadmill and the incessant search for
the perfect, personalized satisfactions, were
rarely invited to even consider a reality beyond the shortterm and self-regarding. Paul Roberts, The Impulse
Society.
In the news recently a CHP campaign against aggressive drivers. Tailgating, speeding, dangerous lane changes,
etc. cause over a thousand deaths in California each year. It
was reported that they comprise 42 percent of all fatal collisions.
Every time theres a World
Series celebration in San
Francisco, were stunned by
the reports of the egregious
behavior of many of the
participants who consider it
an opportunity to dele the
business establishments
along the way and generally
produce havoc. Most of us
cant imagine how so many
people can be so selsh and
devoid of any conscience
and unconcerned about how
such behavior can affect
others. The inconvenience
they cause along the way and the cost of cleanup do not
seem to register.
The car opposite you at the signal abruptly turns left in
front of you when the light turns green. The driver did not
signal, had one hand on the steering wheel and the other
holding a cellphone to his ear.
A little old lady carrying several packages approaches the
exit of a department store. As she gets ready to open the
door, a young woman hurries around her and through the
door and lets it close in the ladys face.
So what has happened to civility, thoughtfulness and
manners? Why are there so many more people who seem to
care about nothing but themselves? Is there anything that
can be done to help prevent such disrespectful behavior
other than no more World Series wins? Have those types
who dele parade routes and barge in front of us become the
norm?
Whats behind this indifference? A newspaper editorial
listed self-absorption, loss of community, a sense of being
too crowded and a feeling of anonymity as some of the reasons for such blatant disregard for others. Could it stem
from a culture that basically values interests other than the
welfare of its citizens and glories self-indulgence and
greed? Is it because we are so absorbed in our technological
gadgets that we rarely experience face-to-face interaction?
As we all have been caught up in the whirlwind of consumerism and instant gratication, are we increasingly losing sight of the importance of modeling for our children
standards of behavior that promote civility and
community?
Parents who try to counteract our cultural proclivity
toward selshness and greed have their work cut out for
them. And with the time crunch that affects many families
and the way that some parents seem to think that their kids
can raise themselves, it seems we are producing fewer human
beings who develop enough self-respect to feel concern for
others.
Dana Chidekel, Ph.D., covers this in her book, Parents
In Charge. You cannot create a kind child by simply
explaining kindness to him. You cannot create a kind child
simply by sending him to a religious school and indoctrinating him in your religions values and principles. You
cannot create a kind child by punishing him when he is
unkind. If you want a child who is compassionate, treat him
with compassion. If you want a child who is confused and
conicted, explain to him that he should be caring and generous toward others while you make clear that you resent his
needs.
And check out the media. As standards of decency and
manners are ignored and exploited as we mindlessly give
license to the producers of the huge number of movies, television shows, video and computer games that glorify the
aggressive, the crass, crude, vulgar, self-obsessed and egocentric, we are embracing the dark side of freedom of expression and we are encouraging the kind of behavior that draws
us apart.
The attitude I dont need you, so get out of my way. Ill
do as I please has been evident in such disparate places as
Congress and our cities streets. Such a belligerent stance
can do nothing but widen the gulf that separates us not
only from each other, but from other nations. As such selfcenteredness and arrogance increasingly suffuse our culture,
it fosters indifference and even hostility and surely discourages a sense of community.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Lets all take time to
give some thought to what we are thankful for especially
our relatives and friends who add so much to our lives. I
hope youll be able to enjoy quality time with them and that
youll give no thought to early Black Friday.

NEW YORK A slump in energy


prices pushed the stock market back
from record levels on Tuesday.
Energy stocks slid as the price of oil
resumed its descent. Traders speculated
that member nations of the oil-producing group OPEC would fail to agree on
production cuts at an upcoming meeting in Vienna on Thursday. Oil has
now dropped almost a third from a peak
in June.
While lower oil prices are a longterm boon to consumers and industrial
companies, they are a drag on stocks
in the near term because the energy
sector accounts for about 10 percent of
the stock markets overall earnings.
Despite the losses, the major indexes remain close to all-time highs.
Stocks have been drifting gradually
higher this month, having rebounded
sharply from a slump in October, as
investors have grown more confident
that actions from central banks around
the world will help bolster the global
economy. The gains are likely to continue for now, said Jim McDonald,
chief investment strategist at Northern
Trust.
Peoples sentiment is still pretty
conservative, McDonald said. That
means that the slow-and-steady market

can continue longer than people anticipate.


The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
2.38 points, or less than 0.1 percent,
to 2,067.03. The Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 2.96 points, or less
than 0.1 percent, to 17,814.94. The
Nasdaq composite gained 3.36 points,
or 0.1 percent, to 4,758.25.
Stocks started the day with small
gains after a report showed that the
U.S. economy grew at a solid 3.9 percent annual rate in the July-September
period, faster than the 3.5 percent that
was initially reported. The upward
revision was due to higher estimates of
spending by consumers and businesses, the Commerce Department said.
That positive report was tempered
by news that U.S. consumer confidence fell in November. The
Conference Board says its consumer
confidence index fell to 88.7, down
from a seven-year high of 94.5 in
October. The decline primarily reflected less optimism in the short-term outlook as consumers expressed less confidence in current business conditions.
Among individual stocks, Pall, a
company that makes filters for the
food and health care industries, was the
leading gainer in the S&P 500. The
companys stock jumped $3.31, or 3.5
percent, to $98 after its earnings beat
the expectations of Wall Street analysts.

Energy stocks slid along with oil


prices following reports that the
worlds biggest producers are unwilling to cut production to help stop a
slump in the price of crude. The sector
dropped 1.6 percent and is now down
3.2 percent for the year. Its the only
one of the 10 industry sectors in the
S&P 500 that is down for the year.
Oil started the day higher, but slid on
reports that representatives from
Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and
Russian state oil giant OAO Rosneft
had failed on Tuesday to agree on any
immediate plans to cut output. The oil
producing nations were meeting ahead
of OPECs Thursday meeting.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell $1.69 to
close at $74.09 a barrel on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
$1.35 to close at $78.33 a barrel on
the ICE Futures exchange in London.
While falling energy prices will
help put more money in consumers
pockets ahead of the holiday spending
season, a longer slump in prices might
start to impact hiring in the U.S. energy industry, said Jim Russell, a portfolio manager at Bahl & Gaynor, a
wealth management firm.
There is probably a sweet spot
where the energy sector wins and the
consumer wins as well and thats probably right in here, said Russell.

Sizing up what Apples $700 billion market cap could buy


By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Apples market


value surpassed $700 billion in Tuesday
trading, an unprecedented milestone among
U.S. companies.
Shares backtracked in the afternoon,
closing down $1.03 at $117.60 leaving
Apple up 47 percent this year with a stillstaggering market value of $690 billion.
Exxon Mobil Corp. is a distant second with
a market value of about $400 billion.
The iPhone and iPad maker is worth so
much that it stretches the imagination.
Consider the buying power of $700 billion:
It could buy 935 million models of the
iPhone 6 Plus with 16 gigabytes of storage.
That would be nearly enough to distribute
Apples latest gadget du jour to everyone
living in North America and Europe. Or you

could just buy 1.4 billion units of the 16GB


iPad Air 2, enough to give Apples latest
tablet to everyone in China.
It could pay for Thanksgiving dinner
and not just for the Americans who celebrate
it. The American Farm Bureau estimates the
average Thanksgiving dinner with all the
fixings for 10 people will cost $49.41 this
year. At that price, $700 billion would
cover 14.2 billion Thanksgiving meals.
Thats twice the worlds population.
It could pay for the annual tuition for
15. 5 million students at Stanford
University, Silicon Valleys hub of higher
education and the alma mater of many Apple
engineers. Stanford estimates its tuitions
and fees will cost each student $45,201 during the current school year.
It could pay for the average annual salary
of 146,000 software engineers for the next
40 years, based on the average compensation data that Apples own engineers sub-

mitted to the company-tracking service


Glassdoor.com. Apples software engineers
currently make slightly more than
$119,000 annually, according to the website.
It could fill the gas tanks of every driver
in the U.S. for the next 22 months, based
on the current average price of $2.81 per
gallon, according to the American
Automobile Association. The federal government estimates that the country burns
through 135.5 billion gallons of gas annually, or about 371 million gallons per day.
It could buy every team in the National
Football League, Major League Baseball,
National Basketball Association and
National Hockey League and still have nearly $600 billion left over, based Forbes latest estimates of the franchise values in each
of the major professional sports leagues.
With the remaining money, all 750 players
in Major League Baseball could be paid the

same $325 million, 13-year contract that


the Miami Marlins just awarded Giancarlo
Stanton. Even after that spending spree,
there would still be about $350 billion left
in the kitty, plenty to build a new stadium or
arena for every team in the NFL, MLB, NBA
and NHL.
It could pay for the next 46 Summer
Olympics, based on the estimated cost of
$15 billion for staging the event in London
during 2012. But the money would only be
enough to cover the next 13 Winter
Olympics, based on the $51 billion that it
took to pull off that even nine months ago
in Russia.
It would be enough to buy all of the
worlds publicly traded airlines, and still
have about $300 billion left over to pay for
bag fees, seat upgrades and in-flight
snacks.
Or you could just buy 574 billion pounds
of apples.

Hewlett-Packards earnings show continued struggle


By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard


Co.s latest earnings report shows that
despite three years of efforts to turn its business around, the venerable tech giant still
has a lot more work ahead.
CEO Meg Whitman has decided to split the
pioneering Silicon Valley company in two.

But she has said it will take a year to disengage the sluggish printer-and-PC division
from units that sell commercial tech hardware, software and services, where Whitman
believes there are more opportunities for
growth. Meanwhile, the company reported
Tuesday that its sales fell 2 percent in the
most recent three-month period, marking its
12th revenue decline in the last 13 quarters.
Profit was down 6 percent from a year ago.

For the August-October fiscal quarter, HP


reported net income of $1.3 billion, or 70
cents a share, on revenue of $28.4 billion.
That fell short of the expectations of analysts polled by FactSet, who predicted earnings of 80 cents a share on revenue of $28.7
billion.
And there was little comfort in a new forecast issued Tuesday by the market research
firm IDC. Although the firm says total PC

sales by all makers should level out in the


next few years, no significant growth is
expected. The only good news is that the
global PC market wont shrink as much this
year. IDC now expects the decline to be 2.7
percent rather than 3.7 percent, as forecast
earlier.
PC sales have suffered as consumers
increasingly turn to smartphones and other
mobile devices.

Business brief
Twitter lets merchants offer deals to its users
NEW YORK Twitter is expanding its reach into commerce with a new tool called Offers.
Advertisers can post promotions and discounts in users
Twitter feeds, whether or not the users follow those merchants on the short-messaging service.
To redeem an offer, customers enter their credit or debit
card information. They then use the same card to redeem the
promotion in a store. After they do, they will get cash back
on their card. For now, the feature only works in the U.S. but
Twitter could expand it to other countries.
San Francisco-based Twitter Inc. says it will encrypt and
store the credit card information but users can remove it any
time.
The company has slowly been branching out into shopping. It launched a Buy button in September that lets users
make purchases or donate money to charities without leaving Twitter. Facebook is also testing a similar tool.

Skyline hoops off to undefeated start


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Skyline fever. Catch it.


Skyline College mens basketball is off
to undefeated start this season. With a 6954 win over Gavilan Tuesday evening, the
Trojans improve to 8-0 on the season.
The mens eight-game winning streak is
the best start in head coach Justin
Piergrossis 11 years at the Skyline helm.
With just three returning sophomores this
season, Piergrossi said he didnt know
exactly what he had entering into the 2014-

15 season. The Trojans are one of two teams


in the state to remain undefeated through
their first seven games.
We knew that we had a chance (to start
well), however, with such a lack of college
playing experience, we werent sure how we
were going to come out of the gates,
Piergrossi said. I think the reason weve
had such success out of the gates is were
playing really hard and with the combination of having some talent, weve gotten
off to a great start.
Sophomore point guard Elijah White has
been the catalyst of a high-octane team

which leads all California Community


College Athletic Association teams with
14.7 steals per game entering into play
Tuesday night. White has set the tempo in
the full-court press with 3.4 steals per
game, ranking fourth in the state and first in
Northern California.
A 5-9 sophomore out of El Camino, White
is also one of the top shooters in the state.
His 22.1 points per game rank seventh
among CCCAA shooters. After handling the
point as a full-time starter last season, he
has again been a mainstay on the court. In
Saturdays championship game of the

Mendocino Tournament, the Trojans rolled


to a 77-73 win over Lassen College. In the
game, White scored a game-high 27 points
while never coming off the floor, playing
all 40 minutes, according to Piergrossi.
He has just really become a floor leader,
Piergrossi said. His shooting, running,
passing game he played all 40 minutes
on Saturday and had just one turnover
hes just really grown into the role and contributes in every way possible.
Along with 6-9 center Daniel Afeaki

Tigers foul
Turkey Day

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Notre Dame Belmont sophomores Katie


Smoot and Mele Fakatene were walking out
of the grandstands at Brady Family Stadium
Saturday afternoon after their brother school
Serra had just had its Central Coast Section
playoff hopes dashed in an opening-round
loss to Los Gatos.
Even though Notre Dame had captured the
CCS Division IV title just hours previous, it
was impossible to discern the mood of the
Tigers tandem. With game faces in tact,
Smoot and Fakatene refused to even smile
about their teams accomplishment, not
wanting to disrespect their brother schools
heartbreaking loss.
Fast forward to Tuesday, and the two
looked as dialed as they did departing Serras
football game. The result Notre Dame
Belmonts first Central Interscholastic
Federation Division IV tournament win
since 2010, as the No. 1-seed Tigers swept
No. 8 Hilmar 25-21, 25-18, 25-18.
It didnt exactly come as easy as the sweep
implies though. And Smoot despite her
match-high 15 kills was the first one to
be critical of her teams performance.
I think we didnt play as best as we
could, Smoot said. We definitely came out
in the beginning really slow. Theyre a really good team and they deserve to be in this
tournament, but I think we didnt play as
best as we could. We made a lot of unnecessary errors.
The Tigers (34-6) totaled seven errors in
Game 1, as did the Yellowjackets (38-10),
but Notre Dame managed to lead the entire
way.
Smoot locked up with Hilmars 6-2 junior
outside Emily Baptista in a veritable clash
of the titans. The two have clashed before on
the club circuit when Smoots Encore team
met Baptistas Rage squad. So, Smoot knew
it would be a frontline battle.
Notre Dame head coach Jen Agresti played
a wild card though, with Fakatene making
her first start of the season. The 5-8 middle
blocker didnt find out she was starting until
game day on Tuesday, but made an immediate

Now its hard not to think about Tiger
Woods.
It was ve years ago this week when
his private life began to unravel. It still
seems surreal to
recall the breaking
news scrolling along
the bottom of the television that Woods
had been seriously
injured in a car accident outside his

wasnt that serious.
He was treated and
released.
And while the tree
his SUV struck did far
more damage, it was
the re hydrant he
rst ran over that became a symbol of the
before-and-after nature of his career.
There is a fascination with anniversaries. Is ve years any more meaningful
than four or six? Still, it seems appropriate to raise one question as Woods prepares to return to competition next week
after another long layoff.
Is this where you thought he would be
ve years later?
He has gone through two swing coaches. He has changed caddies. He has gone
from married with children to being a single dad. He still has 14 majors. And next
week at the Hero World Challenge will

So much has changed, except for the

Theyre just as high.
And thats why the last ve years

Giants third base coach Tim Flannery retires


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Flannery is


ready to leave the baseball grind and play a
little more music.
On the day Pablo Sandoval finalized his
contract with the Boston Red Sox, Flannery
announced he is retiring from the San
Francisco Giants, who lost their third base
coach in addition to their third baseman.
The grueling grind, the schedule, the

demands have taken a

collateral damage comes
with it, Flannery wrote.

with general manager Brian Sabean and man-

ager Bruce Bochy on Tuesday and they


shared some tears together.
Flannery was an animated coach who
danced along the baseline and emphatically
twirled his arm to send runners
With a heavy heart I want to say something. I left everything nine years ago to
chase a dream, Flannery said. I left my
home, my family, to follow my leader, and
friend Bruce Bochy, to fight another battle,
to try and bring a world championship to
San Francisco.

Flannery notes, I have no dreams of


managing.
Flannery, 57, had been on Bochys coaching staff dating to their San Diego days and
they moved to San Francisco together in
2007.

farewell to Tim, the Giants said in a statement. We are grateful for his many contributions to the Giants organization over the

Sherman, Baldwin dig at NFL in press conference


By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. With the help of a


cardboard cutout, the Seattle Seahawks
Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin took
digs at the NFL during a news conference on
Tuesday after the league issued a $100,000
fine to teammate Marshawn Lynch for not
speaking to the media.
Sherman and Baldwin made mention of
everything from the leagues sponsorship
deals with major beer companies to their
own personal endorsements that are not
affiliated with the NFL, to the talk of player
safety with the Seahawks about to play their
second game in five days.
The point of their performance seemed to
be that whatever they said real or satirical it would not be a violation of the
leagues media policy on speaking with
reporters.
The other day Marshawn Lynch got fined
$100,000. Did you know that, $100,000?
Sherman said. And its like they wouldnt
have paid him $100,000 if he had talked. If
he had spoken, Doug do you think they
would have paid him $100,000?
Baldwin responded, No, they sure wouldnt have.
The duo spoke for about 2 1/2 minutes
ahead of Thursdays NFC championships
game rematch against San Francisco.
Baldwin hid behind a cutout of himself, with
Sherman standing to the side of the podium
and taking the lead as the pair bantered.
Sherman took only one question, and
after the pair referenced a number of personal sponsors many of which are not NFL

Seattles Richard Sherman, seen tackling Stepfan Taylor in Sunday s 19-3 Seahawks win, had
choice words for the NFL about their recent fining of Marshawn Lynch.
sponsors walked off without speaking
about the matchup with the 49ers. The pair
prepped briefly and notified the companies
they were going to mention ahead of time.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll told San

Francisco reporters he had not seen the performance.


Its fun to use your time in the NFL to
speak about something you care about,
right? Right? Sherman said in his back-

and-forth with Baldwin. Because then you


dont get fined $100,000. You dont get
fined at all for this. This is how they want us
to talk, right? This is what they want us to
do. They want us to advertise, right Doug?
Their targets were wide ranging, including
headphones, soup, clothing, sandwiches
and juice. The cardboard cutout of Baldwin
was actually an advertisement thats also on
display at Subway restaurants in the Seattle
area.
Sherman immediately mentioned his
endorsement deal with Beats by Dre. The
league has an agreement with Bose.
The league has told players they cannot
wear unauthorized equipment until 90 minutes after the completion of games. San
Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick
was fined earlier this year for wearing Beats
headphones during a postgame news conference.
The league doesnt let me say anything
about them. Why is that? Sherman asked.
Baldwins response: I dont know.
Sounds kind of hypocritical to me.
Sherman made note of Campbells Soup
another personal endorsement and
how it could be helpful with cold and flu season approaching.
Speaking of health, how do you feel
about the NFL making you play two games
in five days? Baldwin asked.
I almost didnt realize that because
theyve been talking about player safety so
much, Sherman responded. Its like two
games in five days doesnt seem like you
care about player safety. Its a little bit
much for me.

Cal coach praises Pac-12 for admitting mistakes


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY California coach Sonny Dykes praised the


Pac-12 on Tuesday for acknowledging that replay officials
erred in overturning two touchdowns for the Golden Bears on
one drive in the Big Game against Stanford.
In the third quarter of Stanfords 38-17 victory Saturday,
officials overturned three straight apparent touchdowns by
Cal. The conference said Monday night that there was not
enough evidence to overturn the final two touchdown calls
made by officials on the field.
To me they did the best they could, Dykes said. What
can they do? They cant reverse the calls. They can certainly
at least give me the feeling and our fans the feeling and our
alumni the feeling and our administration the feeling that
they want to get it right. I applaud them for the action and I
know they want to get it right.
On the first two plays, Luke Rubenzer appeared to run for
scores only to be ruled down just shy of the goal line. After
a personal foul on the second run backed Cal up 15 yards,
Jared Goff appeared to complete a touchdown pass to Kenny
Lawler but that also was overturned when the replay crew
ruled Lawler did not complete the catch.

Cal, which trailed 31-7 at the time, had to settle for a field goal.
Im glad to see that they did some action toward that,
Goff said. At the same time, I dont think thats the reason
we lost that game. It was one series. We didnt lose the game
because of the officials. They definitely didnt help us in any
way on that drive but we shot ourselves in the foot too many
times. That didnt have any effect on the game.
The Pac-12 says the replay crew will be held accountable
for the errors through the Conferences disciplinary
process.
Dykes said he remains in favor of the use of instant replay
to correct egregious calls but believes there might be too
many plays getting reviewed.
I think the standard in replay has to be indisputable video
evidence, he said. I think if it starts and ends there, I think
the game all of a sudden becomes a lot easier to officiate
from a replay perspective.
The Bears (5-6) have bigger concerns than replay heading
into Saturdays regular-season finale at home against BYU
(7-4). Cal needs a win to be eligible for a bowl for the first
time since 2011.
Being able to win that and play another game, especially
for the seniors, that will be the most important thing, running back Daniel Lasco said.

Youth
Baseball
Association.
The lawsuit filed last week says 73year-old Anand Kumar was injured in
May 2013 as the couple watched
their grandson play. They say two
players were tossing the ball when
an errant throw struck Kumar in the
eye, causing him long-term physical
and emotional damage.
The Cherry Hill couple says Taney
shouldnt have allowed players to
practice near the stands. They want
more than $50,000 in damages.
Taney did not immediately return a
message.
The organization won acclaim in
August when the then-13-year-old
Davis became the first female pitcher to win a Little League World Series
game.
The Philadelphia Daily News first
reported the lawsuit Tuesday.

Batsman Phil Hughes was wearing

Messi sets record with 74th goal


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NICOSIA,
Cyprus

Barcelonas Lionel Messi scored a


hat trick to shatter the Champions
League goalscoring record by taking his tally in the competition to
74 in a 4-0 win over APOEL on
Tuesday.
The previous record
of 71 had been set by former Real
Madrid and Schalke striker Raul
over the course of 142 matches.
Rauls record fell when Messi
struck his first in the 38th minute
to give Barcelona a 2-0 lead after
Luis Suarez had opened the scoring. It was Messis 91st match in
Europes top club competition.
Barcelonas Brazilian midfielder
Rafihna unleashed a powerful shot
from some 20 yards (meters) out.
Despite being closely marked,
Messi was able to get a foot to the
ball and re-direct it past the helpless APOEL goalkeeper Urko
Pardo.
Messis teammates swarmed
around him to congratulate the

Argentina star on his achievement.


He struck again in the 58th
when a defense-splitting pass
from Dani Alves put him through
and Messis chip past Pardo
bounced into the net off the post.
Messi rounded off the scoring in
the 87th minute of the Group F
match, completing his 28th
Barcelona hat trick and his fifth in
the Champions League.
Real

Cristiano
Ronaldo, who has scored 70 goals
in the Champions League from its

Messis latest feat came three
days after he became the Spanish
leagues all-time scorer by netting
a hat trick to give him 253 goals
in the domestic competition, two
more than former Athletic Bilbao
great Telmo Zarra scored from
1940-55.

she can play even better. I think she gets a

Fakatene and Smoot produced back-toback kills to start the match, but Hilmar
kept pace. The game was deadlocked at 9-9
when Notre Dame opposite hitter Maggie
McDonald transitioned to the left side for
one of her 11 match kills to give the Tigers
the lead for good.
Notre Dame jumped out to a 19-13 lead
but Baptista kept the Yellowjackets in it
with eight of her team-high 14 kills in the
opening set. But after Hilmar closed the
lead to 20-18, Smoot fired her fifth set
kill to give Notre Dame enough breathing
room to navigate the win. Tigers junior
middle Jess Beering fired one of her seven

match kills to end Game 1.


In Game 2, Hilmar jumped out to an early
lead. Junior Danielle Couchman fired backto-back aces to give the Yellowjackets an 84 lead, but Smoot responded with back-toback kills to stay within 2 points. The margin proved key when Fakatene scored her
only kill of the set to close the margin to
11-9 and give the Tigers a side out to send
Smoot to the service line. The 6-1 sophomore proceeded to reel off six consecutive
service points to swing the lead to Notre
Dames side for good.
Fakatene produced one of just three Tigers
blocks on the night to close Hilmars lead
to 11-10. Then Tammy Byrne fired one of
her eight match kills to tie it. McDonald
followed with a kill to give the Tigers a 1211 edge. Smoot later scored an ace and ultimately ran the lead to 15-11. Notre Dame
libero Katarina Warburton followed with a
5-point service run, capped by back-toback aces.
Game 3 started out as another back-andforth battle, which saw the two teams trade
points until Notre Dame took a 6-5 lead on

fans at Moore Pavilion into a frenzy. The

Stanfords top playmaker to sit out vs. No. 9 UCLA


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD The challenge for


Stanfords struggling offense just got a little more difficult this week.
The Cardinal will be without top playmaker Ty Montgomery for the regular-season finale at No. 9 UCLA on Friday.
Cardinal coach David Shaw said
Montgomery will sit out with a right shoulder injury but is hopeful to return for the
teams bowl game.
The wide receiver and All-American kick
returner was injured in the first quarter of
Stanfords 38-17 win at California last Saturday
when he was tackled hard by two defenders after
a 14-yard catch. Its the second time in the last
year that an injury to Montgomerys right
shoulder has sidelined him.
The NFL prospect had surgery on his
shoulder in February after playing with the
injury part of last season. The recovery
process sidelined him in the spring and limited him for most of summer workouts, leav-

ing his status in doubt


until about two weeks
before the season opener
against UC Davis.
Shaw said Tuesday that
its a different injury in
the same shoulder. He did
not elaborate.
Montgomery will certainly be missed against
Ty
Montgomery the Bruins (9-2, 6-2),
who are trying to clinch
a spot in the Pac-12 title game out of the
South Division and keep their renewed
national championship hopes alive.
Stanford has the lowest scoring offense in
the conference, averaging just 25.2 points,
and Montgomery has been the units
biggest bright spot.
The senior leads the Cardinal (6-5, 4-4)
with 61 catches for 604 yards and three
touchdowns. He has run for 144 yards and a
score on 23 carries, and he has returned two
punts for TDs.
Montgomery also is averaging 25.2 yards

returning kickoffs and has taken snaps as a


wildcat quarterback in most games.
I think he covers more ground than anybody in college football between punt
return, kickoff return, running and receiving, Shaw said, adding that the staff has
aggressively monitored Montgomerys
minutes. I was actually asked by a scout
going through the offensive film that he
didnt technically start the game. But I said,
A lot of times its after kickoff return and he
just got hit by three guys. So we take him
out and make sure hes OK.
Shaw said Francis Owusu and Jordan Pratt
will receive more playing time in
Montgomerys absence alongside regulars
Devon Cajuste and Michael Rector. Kelsey
Young and Christian McCaffrey will return
kickoffs, and Barry Sanders and McCaffrey
will field punts against UCLA.
What the absence means for Montgomery
beyond the finale is unclear. Shaw stressed
that Montgomery should be able to play in
a December bowl game, but he also wont
risk his outgoing playmakers future for one

U.S. pair gets 1964 bronze medal HOOPS


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. After 50


years, the IOC finally has figured out the
pairs figure skating at the 1964 Games.
The International Olympic Committee has
corrected the standings of the competition to
show the American sibling team of Vivian
Joseph and Ronald Joseph as the bronze
medalists.
In addition, two silver medals have been
listed for the event by the IOC.
In 1966, the IOC awarded the Josephs the
bronze medal after declaring the West German
pair Marika Kilius and Hans-J 5/8rgen
Bdumler had violated their amateur status by
signing a professional contract. With the
West Germans stripped of their silver medal,
all but the gold medalists moved up one
placement.
But the IOC reinstated Kilius-Baumler in
1987. On Tuesday, it finally listed the
Germans as silver medalists along with
Canadas Debbi Wilkes and Guy Revell. The
Americans were shown with the bronze.
Russias great pairs team of Ludmila

Belousova and Oleg


Protopopov won the
event.
An Olympic medal is
the ultimate sports symbol of hard work, sacrifice
and the perseverance of
athletes, parents and
coaches, Vivian and
Ronald Joseph
said
Tuesday in a joint statement. We are happy
the issue of our medal has finally been
resolved.
The Josephs will award the championship
pairs medals at the 2015 U.S. Figure Skating
Championships in Greensboro, North
Carolina.
The issue recently was brought to light during the run-up to the 2014 Olympic Winter
Games, which marked the 50th anniversary
of the 1964 Innsbruck Games.
We thank all involved who helped settle
this matter, the Josephs said. We are only
saddened that our parents and coach, Peter
Dunfield, are not alive to share in this
moment. They were the keys to our success.

Montgomery is projected to be as high as
a second-round pick in the NFL draft.
Stanford center Graham Shuler said
Montgomery seemed to be dealing more
with the mental anguish of being sidelined
than any physical pain when he walked up
to him during Mondays practice.
He was like, I just dont know what to do
with myself. Hes like, I want to be out
there making a play and I want to be out

lost a game in conference play since the
2009-10 season the local community college basketball race is shaping up to be a
nonstop thrill ride this season.
Thats just the way Caada head coach Mike
Reynoso likes it, who tends toward a freeflowing approach to the pro-style offense as
opposed to stocking a big playbook.
You see an exciting team when you come
watch us we like to have fun with it,
Reynoso said. Do a 360 (degree dunk), do
whatever you want. I think thats the one
thing [community colleges] dont do. You
see the one-handed dunk but I say go out
and have some fun with it.
The excitement of the Colts attack is central to sixth-man Rohndell Goodwin. A 6-5
sophomore forward, Goodwin started every
game last season. In moving to a pivotal
bench role this season in which he still
averages over 30 minutes a game he has
emerged as Caadas top scorer, averaging
17.2 points per game. He is one of five Colts
players averaging double-figures in scoring.
Meanwhile, 6-6 sophomore Manny
Martin is averaging 9.7 rebounds per game,
ranking No. 13 in the state.
Thats where championship teams are
made, Reynoso said. They own the glass and
defensively they only allow teams one shot.

than he should have), he looked


more like an old Woods than the
Woods of old. And then he shut it
down after the PGA Championship
to get stronger.
Is he as good as 25-year-old Rory
McIlroy? No. For starters, Woods
turns 39 next month.
Can he challenge him?
Considering the last ve years as
a whole, it might be too early to
rule him out.
McIlroy with 13 wins worldwide is the only player to have won
more than Woods (nine) over the
last ve years. Adam Scott, Martin
Kaymer, Graeme McDowell, Luke
Donald and Lee Westwood also
have nine wins around the world.
Woods still has the highest
winning percentage (12 percent) of
anyone in the last ve years.
In the last ve years, Woods
has been at No. 1 in the world
longer (60 weeks) than the other
ve players who have taken turns at
the top of the ranking, and he is the
only player to be No. 1 for a continuous year.
Its not all that dire.
Far more difcult to measure is
how much Woods has been affected
physically and emotionally since
the crisis in his personal life
unfolded Thanksgiving weekend in
2009.
He doesnt seem to make as many
big putts. But that started before he
hit the re hydrant. Otherwise, he

would have won the PGA


Championship at Hazeltine.
He has lost precious time because
of his Achilles tendon and his left
knee, and more recently his back.
Those injuries were a matter of time.
The biggest change involves his
corporate deals. Woods lost or did
not renew sponsorship deals with
Accenture, AT&T, Gillette,
Gatorade, Tag Heuer and EA Sports.
He has replaced them with Rolex, a
Japanese heat rub, FUSE and and
now Muscle Pharm. Nike remains
his biggest sponsor, and Woods has
made appearances in commercials
and TV shows with McIlroy. There
was a time when Woods didnt share
his Nike stage with anyone.
His performance in the majors is
the most glaring difference, mainly
because that always has been his
ultimate measure.
In the 16 majors he has played
since 2010, Woods has only ve
top-ve nishes, and he has not
been a serious factor in the nal
hour of any of them. He has not
broken 70 in the nal round of a
major since the Masters in 2011.
He remains stuck on 14 majors
dating to the 2008 U.S. Open. He
is still four short of catching Jack
Nicklaus.
The week after Thanksgiving,
Woods gets back to work. And that
leads to another relevant question.
Where will he be ve years from
now?

About this time a year ago, Woods
was on the cusp of winning his
World Challenge until Zach
Johnson holed out from the drop
zone for par on the 18th hole and
went on to beat him in a playoff.
That stuff used to only happen to
Greg Norman.
No problem. Woods was coming
off another ve-win season on the
PGA Tour that only he can make
look routine. He was PGA Tour
player of the year for the 11th time,
won the money title for the 10th
time and captured the Vardon

But when he began this year as
the defending champion at Torrey

what would follow.
Woods has started only eight
tournaments this year and nished
only three of them. For the rst
time in his career, he did not register a top 10. There were two WDs
(withdraws), two MCs (missed cuts)
and one MDF (54-hole cut).

Roasting vegetables to be both fresh and familiar


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tired of the same old sides at


Thanksgiving? We decided to come up with
something both fresh and familiar.
This dish of roasted vegetables starts with
classics onion, butternut squash and corn
but mixes it up with a can of chickpeas
and halved red grapes. The chickpeas add a
mild nutty flavor, as well as a pleasantly
chew-crunchy texture. The grapes offer a
gentle sweetness that works so well not
only with the rest of the ingredients in this
dish, but also with all the other traditional
Thanksgiving offerings.

ROASTED GRAPE SUCCOTASH


Start to finish: 45 minutes (10 minutes
active)
Servings: 8
1 medium red onion, diced
2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
(1/2-inch cubes)
16-ounce bag frozen corn kernels, thawed
and patted dry with paper towels

15-ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed


and patted dry with paper towels
2 cups red grapes, halved
Olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Balsamic glaze, to serve
Crumbled goat cheese, to serve
Heat the oven to 450 F. Line a large
rimmed baking sheet with foil.
In a large bowl, combine the onion,
squash, corn, chickpeas and grapes. Toss
with several tablespoons of olive oil,
enough so that everything is well coated.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then spread
evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast
for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring several times,
or until everything is browned and tender.
Pile into a serving dish and drizzle with
balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with crumbled
goat cheese. Serve hot.

A do-ahead biscuit to sop up your gravy


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

These biscuits can be prepared up to the point of baking, then


arranged on the pan, wrapped tightly in plastic and frozen
for up to two weeks.

These rich cornmeal biscuits arent


just an easy and delicious way to have
fresh bread at the Thanksgiving
table. They also let you get a jump on
your dinner prep.
The biscuits can be prepared up to
the point of baking, then arranged on
the pan, wrapped tightly in plastic
and frozen for up to two weeks. They
can be baked right from the freezer,
but be sure to allow 3 to 4 minutes of
extra cooking time than is called for
in the recipe.
These biscuits also are easily customized. We offer four suggestions
for additions to the basic biscuit
dough. Use one or all or any combination.

CORNBREAD
BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Start to finish: 30 minutes

Servings: 12
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut
in 1/2-inch cubes
1 egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
Optional additions:
1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar
cheese
1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeno
pepper slices
2/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon or
chopped ham
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Heat the oven to 400 F. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together
the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking
powder and sugar. Add the butter and
use 2 knives or your fingertips to
work the cubes into the dry mixture

until no clump is larger than the size


of a pea. If using any optional additions, mix them into the dry ingredients at this stage. Set aside.
In a small bowl or measuring cup,
whisk together the egg, cream and
buttermilk. Add to the dry mixture and
stir just until a dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch-thick
round. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter,
cut the dough into rounds, gently
reworking the scraps to cut additional
biscuits (but do this only once).
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them
several inches apart. Bake for 12 to
15 minutes. Let cool slightly before
serving.

Roast beets
brighten up
any holiday
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beets are the perfect addition to


bountiful fall feasts. They are satisfying without being heavy, and
their rich ruby and golden tones
add visual interest to any seasonal
color scheme.
Plus, beets are incredibly flexible on temperature serve them
warm, room temperature or chilled
which is a huge bonus when
planning food for holiday entertaining. Having a few dishes that
you can make ahead can be a
stress-saver when you are hosting
a holiday meal.
Beets are more than just their
sweet earthy flavor. They also
boast ample antioxidants, fiber,
folate, manganese, vitamin C,
iron and pack almost as much
potassium as bananas. Also, beets
are what I like to call a two-forone veggie. Buy the beets and get
the beet greens (full of vitamin A)
for free (rinse, chop and saute as
you would chard).
Obviously, beets stain. Perhaps
easiest (meaning the least beet-

staining) method for cooking


them is roasting them with the
skin-on and wrapped in foil. Once
the beets cook and cool a bit, you
use a paper towel to rub away the
skins (they slide off easily). The
resulting roasted, peeled beets can
be sliced, cubed or cut into wedges
and served plain or used in any
recipe calling for cooked beets.
If you roast beets until very tender, they can be blended into a dip
(just add Greek yogurt, garlic and
dill). You also can peel and cube
the beets before roasting, but be
prepared for stained fingers if you
dont use gloves washing your
hands with lemon juice, baking
soda or coarse salt will help to
remove beet stains from skin.
Beets can be used raw for juicing, or try grating them raw for
salads. Toss with grated carrots
and a dab of mayo and vinaigrette
for a bright coleslaw.
My holiday beet recipe uses the
foil-roasting method, but to save
time (if not money), you could use
pre-cooked beets youll find in the
refrigerated section of the produce
aisle.

Beets can be used raw for juicing, or try grating them raw for salads.

ROASTED BEETS WITH


ORANGE VINAIGRETTE,
PECANS AND GOAT CHEESE
Start to finish: 1 hour (20 minutes active)
Servings: 8
2 bunches of medium beets,
trimmed of stems
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
Salt and ground black pepper
4 scallions, light and dark green
parts, chopped
Zest and juice of 2 small oranges
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

1/2 cup toasted pecans,


chopped
1/2 cup soft goat cheese crumbles
Heat the oven to 400 F. Rub the
beets with 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil, then sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Wrap the beets in a
double layer of foil, then set them
on a baking sheet. Roast until just
tender, about 45 minutes (larger,
older beets could take longer). Set
aside to cool until easily handled.
Using paper towels, gently rub
off and discard the skins of the
beets. Cut the beets into 1 1/2-

inch cubes. Set aside.


In a small bowl, whisk together
the remaining olive oil, scallions, orange zest and juice, and
the thyme. Season with salt and
pepper. Toss the beets with the
vinaigrette, then sprinkle with
pecans and goat cheese. Serve at
room temperature or chilled.

PIPES
Continued from page 1
pipe began leaking Sunday.
The 10-inch cast iron pipe broke
Sunday and caused a decrease in pressure which prompted the State Water
Resources Control Board to require the
district to advise residents to boil
water to eliminate potential bacteria.
I think like every water utility, we
have the challenge of replacing outdated infrastructure while keeping our
rates reasonable, said district General
Manager David Dickson.
Bacteriological samples to verify
water safety came back negative, it
appears no residents were affected and
the district anticipates lifting the boil
advisory Wednesday, Dickson said.
The pipe, which ran east of Highway 1
near Magellan Avenue, was fixed within a few hours and is a small portion of
the districts 100 miles of pipeline
that will be maintained through a $33
million, 10-year capital improvement
program, Dickson said. The soil surrounding the pipe dried up due to minimal rainfall, and seismic activity may
more readily harm some of the older
pipes, Dickson said.
Many water utilities repair or replace
pipes piecemeal over time and often a
provider will have mains that ranges
from 80 years old to brand new.

San Mateo Creek leak


Last week, Cal Water faced the consequences of a failing nearly 60-yearold pipe when the water control board
issued a $3 million complaint claiming the company leaked approximately 8 million gallons of water into the
environmentally sensitive San Mateo
Creek. The leak, which spanned about
four days in 2013, ultimately killed
276 fish and caused erosion to the
creek.
There were extenuating circumstances Cal Water plans on discussing

SIGN
Continued from page 1
Carlos Heritage Association started a
petition to save the sign which netted
approximately 1,000 signatures.
Prior to the meeting, City Attorney
Greg Rubens sent Lee a Nov. 18 letter
giving him until 5 p.m. Monday to
restore the sign which had its neon
tubing and lightbulbs removed. If he
didnt, Rubens wrote, Lee risked code
violations daily and a possible trip to
court for injunctions.
At Mo n day s meet i n g , Lee s ai d
h e wo rk i n g wi t h ci t y o ffi ci al s
an d res p ect s t h e res i den t s des i re

with the water control board, such as


the remote and underground location of
the leak and how reports from monitoring systems were accidentally misinterpreted, according to Cal Water
officials.
Replacing aging infrastructure, particularly in environmentally sensitive
habitats, is a top priority and the company plans to work with the California
Public Utilities Commission to
address these issues, said Tim Treloar,
vice president of Cal Waters operations and water quality.
We are going to look more vigorously at a more robust replacement
schedule, Treloar said. Were not
alone. Weve got to be good stewards
of the environment, weve got to serve
our customers, weve got to keep the
rates affordable and weve got to
replace our infrastructure. I think were
doing that, its a heck of a balancing
act.
The SFPUC, which sells water to a
majority of San Mateo County distributors, is also no stranger to aging
infrastructure. Prior to the recent completion of the Bay Tunnel, part of a
multi-billion dollar capital improvement program, the SFPUC had two
nearly 80-year-old pipes that leaked
nearly 60 millions of gallons of fresh
water into the Bay over several years.
Aging infrastructure is a national
problem, so when you talk about an
agency that has failed to replace pipes
its not necessarily a violation, its
just the fact that replacing pipe is very
expensive and mainline breaks are just
part of operating a water system, said
Bruce Burton, an assistant deputy
director with State Water Resources
Control Boards division of drinking
water.

High-cost upgrades
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency estimates over the next 20
years the nation will need to invest $1
trillion into water and sewer systems
and the SFPUC plans are undergoing a
$4. 8 billion system upgrade, said
t o k eep t h e s i g n .
If you have a happy wife, you have
a happy family. If you have a happy
family, you have a happy business. So
I believe everybody will be happy, he
said.
Councilman Cameron Johnson
thanked Lee for his appearance and
willingness to work with the city.
People who dont live here say
whats the big deal, he said, adding
that it is a emotional and symbolic
for the community during a time of
rapid change.
Councilman Ron Collins pointed
out that other Peninsula cities have
their landmarks, like the theater signs
in Belmont and Millbrae.
Cities need their own identity even

SFPUC spokesman Tyrone Jue.


Water delivery systems are primarily
hidden and, although the resource is
something on which we all depend, the
expense involved in maintaining
aging pipelines can be lost upon consumers, said Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of
the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency. BAWSCA represents the interests of 24 cities and
water districts, as well as two public
utility companies along the Peninsula
that purchase wholesale water from the
SFPUC.
Most of our agencies have an ongoing maintenance program to replace
and repair [infrastructure,] Sandkulla
said. Its hard in a year for example
like this year, where agencies are selling less water, so they have to dip into
their reserves to cover their fixed
costs, so they may have to go into
their capital improvement program
budget.
As a state plagued by frequent seismic activity, many of the water mains
that were built prior to modern standards may fail more readily than newer
pipes, according to officials. With the
looming drought and push for conservation, statewide water providers have
myriad challenges to balance. But
aging infrastructure must be a top priority to ensure quality service,
Sandkulla said.
Theres huge consequences. Water
is something, just as a community,
you dont think about until its not
there. Its definitely one of the hidden
infrastructures that we all rely upon.
So to that extent, its also easy to forget about and sometimes it can be difficult for ratepayers whos rates [are]
raised to cover costs, its hard to see,
Sandkulla said. Its just like everything else, like your house, it needs
maintenance, it needs continual
investment.

if its a funky little sign, he said.


The Carlos Club has stood on El
Camino Real across from the train station in San Carlos since 1947 and the
building itself is over 100 years old.
The building itself is on the citys
1991 historic resources inventory.
Lee, who also owns Burmese restaurant Rangoon Rubys in San Carlos
and Palo Alto, opened his new restaurant in October. As soon as Lee turned
off the sign lights and put up banners
announcing the new business, residents began calling City Hall and
posting concerns online.

As OPEC faces tough test, lower oil prices loom


By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK These are the moments


OPEC exists for: A sharp drop in global oil
prices has reduced the amount of money
OPEC countries take in by nearly $1 billion a day.
The 12-member groups purpose is to
coordinate how much oil is produced in
order to keep prices high and stable and
maximize member countries revenue while
making sure global demand for oil stays
strong. A steep, coordinated cut in output
could stop and possibly reverse what has
been a 32 percent decline in prices over
five months.
But there is widespread doubt that OPEC
will be able to do much of anything when it
meets in Vienna later this week doubt
sent oil down another 2 percent Tuesday.
Analysts think OPEC members wont agree
to a cut or the cut will be too small to influence oil prices. They could also, as in the
past, agree to lower production but then fail
to stick to the target.
That could mean further declines in the
price of oil, along with fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
The idea that this is a cartel that places
meaningful restrictions on its members
behavior is fiction, says Jeff Colgan, a
political science professor at Brown

per day, one-third of global liquid fuel


demand, is facing the most pronounced
decline in oil prices since the financial crisis hit in 2008. And the world now is drastically different. Oil production outside of
OPEC is surging for the first time in a generation, boosting global oil supplies. U.S.
production has risen 70 percent since
2008, adding 3.5 million barrels of oil per
day. The increase itself is more than any
OPEC member produces other than Saudi
Arabia.
At the same time, OPEC members around
the world those in the Middle East and
North Africa, along with countries such as
Venezuela and Nigeria are undergoing
wrenching political upheaval that is putting extraordinary pressure on government
budgets. OPEC countries need oil money
more than ever, making the steep cuts in
production that would be necessary to push
up prices all but impossible.
They have quite a task in front of them,
says Bhushan Bahree, senior director for
OPEC and Middle East research at the analysis firm IHS. They have to decide how
much room to make, if any, for North
REUTERS American supply growth.
Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi gestures as he arrives at his hotel ahead of an OPEC
Without a cut in output, global supply is
meeting in Vienna, Austria.
on track to exceed demand by 1.2 million
barrels per day next year. If that comes to
Universitys Watson Institute who studies such thing as OPEC.
OPEC is at a crossroads. The group, pass, oil prices would almost certainly

would expect them to do if there were no which produces 30 million barrels of oil decline further.

Iran nuke talks face obstacles even with more time


By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA The United States and Iran


say a new deadline in nuclear talks could
allow them to finally reach a deal. But
Tehrans apparent reluctance to compromise may soon leave U.S. negotiators running out of ideas on how to reduce Irans
capacity to make nuclear arms.

Two teen female bombers


kill more than 40 in Nigeria
BAUCHI, Nigeria The teenage girls
entered the busy marketplace separately
Tuesday, their vests of explosives hidden
beneath their full hijabs.
The first detonated her bomb, killing
three women. As rescuers rushed in, the second girl screamed and set off her explosives, killing dozens more, according to
witnesses and authorities.
More than 40 people died in the double
suicide bombing in Maiduguri, a provincial
capital in northeastern Nigeria, according
to Haruna Issa, a hospital volunteer in the
city.

SEQUOIA
Continued from page 1
Some neighbors have concerns about traffic and parking with other new developments like a new hotel coming to nearby
Industrial Road, including Ben Fuller, president of the Greater East San Carlos
Neighborhood Association.
The
Greater
East
San
Carlos
Neighborhood Association is cautiously
optimistic about a new high school, said
Fuller. What we are concerned about is it
needs to be handled carefully with parking
being as bad as its been, traffic at an alltime high and most importantly we want it
to be sensitively inserted so it respects
existing residential housing in the neighborhood and that the height not exceed
three stories.
On the one hand, Mayor Mark Olbert said
its exciting news the district is moving forward with trying to put a high school in San
Carlos, on the other hand, he said the district could hardly have picked a worse intersection in San Carlos to stick a 400-student
high school. Currently, there is no public
high school in San Carlos, as San Carlos

Both Collins and Olbert expressed concerns about privacy and the proposed a year
time frame the collected information would
be stored.
But after a tour of the Northern California
Regional Intelligence Center in San
Francisco Collins said he saw firsthand
what a tight lid it keeps on the information.
Its very difficult for law enforcement to
abuse that. Their center is so secure they

Mo n day s deadl i n e i n Vi en n a.
Based on information from the diplomats, progress made so far has mostly
stemmed from the U.S. and its allies revising positions closer to the minimum of
what they may be able to accept. Irans
demands, in contrast, have changed less
and the country may be digging in as the
next round approaches.

deal is better than a bad deal, and extending the talks has put off a decision on
whether to walk away from them rather
than give up too much.
But while the U.S. administration may
opt for more wiggle room on the size and
capacity of Irans nuclear program, that
may not be the case for powerful sceptics
of too much U.S. compromise.
Members of the new Republican-controlled U.S. Congress to be sworn in early
next year have threatened to impose additional sanctions on Iran and may well have

enough votes to overturn an expected veto


by President Barack Obama. That would
almost surely push Tehran away from the
table.
Shortly after the extension announcement, Sen. Mark Kirk, an Illinois
Republican whose work with Democratic
Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey on oil
sanctions helped drive Iran to the negotiating table, pledged to come forward with a
new bipartisan sanctions package.
Menendez suggested similar action, saying hed work to ensure that Iran comprehends that we will not ever permit it to
become a threshold nuclear state.

Suspicion immediately fell on the insurgents from the Islamic militant group Boko
Haram, which controls a large part of northeastern Nigeria and is blamed for the deaths
this year of at least 1,500 people in Africas
most populous country.
In its campaign of violence, Boko Haram
has used car bombs and men wearing vests
of explosives. It also has begun using
women who can cover the explosives with
their hijabs, and the recruits appear to have
gotten younger, with several instances of
teenage attackers earlier this year.

Around the world

Ghani has ordered a top-to-bottom review


of the operations of Afghanistans defense
forces, including discussing the resumption
of controversial night raids banned by his
predecessor.
The move appears aimed at revamping the
military for the fight against the Taliban
amid new indications that U.S. and international forces will play a greater role than
initially envisaged after the 13-year U.S.led combat mission formally ends next
month.
The wholesale review is already underway,
presidential spokesman Nafizullah Salarzai
told the Associated Press, saying Ghani had
instructed the National Security Council to
work on a manual of guidelines and standards for military operations.

Russian envoy: Ferguson


shows U.S. racial problems

Ferguson, Missouri, reflect simmering U.S.


tensions over racial discrimination that
could undermine the countrys stability, a
senior Russian diplomat said Tuesday.
The comments by the Russian Foreign
Ministrys human rights envoy, Konstantin
Dolgov, were among the sharpest from a
foreign official as images of violent
protests in Ferguson topped newscasts
around the world.

High School closed in the 80s.
I shared with Jim (Lianides) that it would
be good to find an opportunity for a school
on the east side, Olbert said. The traffic on
Holly Street and Old County is my biggest
concern. I offered to help find a place in a
less congested area and help put together a
transit shuttle.

Field Act
One issue the district is considering is the
fact that the states Field Act that includes
restrictions for building or purchasing
property for public schools within a quarter
mile of hazardous air emissions facilities,
within 1,500 feet of railroad tracks or of the
easement of an aboveground or underground
pipeline that can pose a safety hazard, within a couple miles of airport runways or within close proximity to major roads and ensuring a safe route to school. Additionally, the
California Department of Transportation
considers sound at 50 decibels in the vicinity of schools to be the point at which it
will take corrective action for noise generated by freeways.
The San Mateo Union High School
District has recently run into its own difficulties with the Field Act while searching
for a new home for its Peninsula Alternative
parts because he didnt have enough clearance, Collins said.
Rothaus said he was heartened by Collins
open mind.
He probably still has some concerns but
Im really encouraged to see him want to
learn more, Rothaus said.
At the last council meeting, Collins asked
that the proposal be brought back and his
colleagues minus Grocott, who was absent,
agreed.
Im still not sure if Im ready to move
completely in the direction they want to.
Im thinking in terms of a trial period, said
Collins, admitting hes still not completely
comfortable at the moment.
The readers can be implemented for any

High School. Some of the areas can be


worked around, but not for airport and freeway vicinities, the San Mateo Union High
School Districts construction management
firm Greystone West projects manager Todd
Lee previously said.
We need to work with the California
Department of Education, Lianides said.
The state certainly has to look at the big
picture. They (the state) ultimately will need
to weigh in on this potential purchase.

Planning process
Trustees are excited about the potential
placement of a high school in San Carlos
and noted this has been an ongoing matter
in closed session for the school boards last
several meetings. Community input on the
magnets and potential themes is really
important to the district, Sarver said.
The district is currently actively engaged
in a strategic planning process and over the
past week have been going to the community with an electronic survey of issues facing
the district including public input on
themes for the new small schools, he said.
Were actively engaged to build a program
thats of great value to the community.
He noted the support of the community
has been critical in passing the bond last
time length desired by the council, Rothaus
said.
After the councils veto of the request,
Olbert had said he might favor it if the personal information is kept less than a year.
On the Peninsula, license plate readers are
already used in Daly City, Menlo Park,
Redwood City, San Mateo and Palo Alto.
Rothaus proposes mounting one camera on
a patrol car and installing a fixed reader near
the onramp to Highway 101 at Brittan
Avenue where the city has seen an uptick in
robberies at nearby big box businesses.
The readers cost an estimated $70,000

spring that enabled district to move forward


in a very productive manner on the acquisition and expansion of property.
For Trustee Carrie Du Bois, it would make
sense to have a high school near public
transit thats close to Redwood High School
thats also located on Old County Road, but
in Redwood City.
Were doing a lot of work to try to
revamp the Redwood program, she said.
Im personally interested in an alternative
school for kids who have a hard time in the
large comprehensive high school.
A demographic study indicates the district
is projected to grow starting in the 2014-15
school year, reaching more than 10,000
students by 2020-21. Projections indicate
that the district will reach 10,056 students
by 2020-21. These projections are based in
part on partner elementary district growth.
Enrollment in the partner districts started to
grow in 2006-07 from 22,893 students and
reached 24,653 students in 2012-13.
If the district decides to purchase the land,
a deal should be closed some time in January
2015, Sarver said.

initial investment followed by about


$8,000 in annual maintenance. The money
will come from existing law enforcement
grants or services funds.
Rothaus said he supports readers as much
now as he did at his October request.
My opinion on it hasnt changed. I
believe that the system is a secure system
and adds a lot of value to law enforcement,
Rothaus said.
