A life from which to learn

Former Redwood City teacher honored for her long life and dedicated career
By Dave Newlands
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
I always say, San Francisco got the

earthquake, and Plainfield got me,
Irma Hofslund said, speaking of 1906,
the year she was born in Plainfield,
Wisconsin.
Hofslund laughed at the joke and,
though she is a petite woman, her
smile seemed somehow huge.
I only look good when I smile,
Hofslund said, and she smiles often.
Irma, who turned 108 Nov. 10, now
lives in Redwood City, where she was
officially honored by the City Council

last week.
We truly see her as an inspiration to
others, through her life and her teaching, said Malcolm Smith, interim
communications manager for Redwood
City.
Theyre just giving me the honor of
living so long, Hofslund said. They
keep saying Im an example, and I
dont look like much of an example,
but here I am.
Recently, Hofslund has received a
slew of honors for her distinguished
life and career, including letters of
recognition from Gov. Jerry Brown

and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and a
commendation from the Redwood City
Elementary School District where she
taught for 18 years at Kennedy Middle
School.
Hofslund began her teaching career
in Tripoli, Wisconsin, a small lumber
town where she got a job after graduating from University of Wisconsin at
Stevens Point. On her first visit to the
Tripoli post office, she would meet the
man who would become her husband.
He won me on a bet, thats the

changing offerings because of Common Core

President Barack Obama has issued an executive action that some of his Republican opponents may be
hard-pressed to disagree with sparing Thanksgiving turkeys from the dinner table. In the spirit of the holiday,
Obama on Wednesday took action fully within my legal authority, the same kind of action taken by Democrats
and Republican presidents before me, to pardon the National Thanksgiving Turkey, a 49-pound bird named
Cheese. He also spared an alternate turkey, a 47-pounder named Mac. Both came from Cooper Farms in
Oakwood, Ohio.
Parents are not backing down

from what they see as a lack of
involvement in the San MateoFoster City Elementary School
Districts move to reduce or eliminate more advanced classes like
algebra and geometry, but officials
say its what is right for students.
About 150 community members
packed a parent education meeting
Tuesday night at Highlands
Elementary School in San Mateo
to learn about the districts move
away from offering more advanced
courses like introductory algebra
and geometry courses. This is
coming with the new shift to

Common Core standards that focus
more on the use of technology in
the classroom and projects, the
district said. This is cause for
worry in parents who want their
children to move on to classes like
advanced placement calculus
courses and caused some to engage
in screaming matches at the meeting about the change.
Some grew angry when the district asked them to hold questions
until the presentation on the math
curriculum wrapped up and one parent yelled out, Were the ones

Immigrants Social Security eligible in presidents plan

By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Many immigrants in the United States illegally who apply for work permits
under President Barack Obamas
new executive actions would be
eligible for Social Security and

Medicare benefits upon reaching
retirement age, according to the
White House.
Under Obamas actions, immigrants who are spared deportation
could obtain work permits and a
Social Security number. As a
result, they would pay into the
Social Security system through

payroll taxes.
No such lawfully present
immigrant, however, would be
immediately entitled to the benefits because like all Social
Security and Medicare recipients
they would have to work 10 years
to become eligible for retirement
payments and health care. To

remain qualified, either Congress
or future administrations would
have to extend Obamas actions so
that those immigrants would still
be considered lawfully present in
the country.
None of the immigrants who
would be spared deportation under
Obamas executive actions would

be able to receive federal assistance such as welfare or food
stamps, or other income-based
aid. They also would not be eligible to purchase health insurance in
federal exchanges set up by the

Armed robber hits pharmacy, may

be connected to other similar crimes
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Law enforcement is on the lookout for a

man who robbed a pharmacy at gunpoint in
San Carlos Wednesday afternoon and may
be connected to similar crimes in other
cities.
An Asian man in his mid-20s entered the
Walgreens on 1414 El Camino Real around
12:40 a.m. and walked directly to the pharmacy where he brandished a silver handgun,
according to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office.
The man handed the pharmacist a written
list demanding several specific medications. The pharmacist complied and the
suspect fled through the front door and ran
south toward Belmont Avenue, according to
Comment on
or share this story at
the Sheriffs Office.
The San Carlos crime closely resembles a
Nov. 2 crime where an Asian man in his 20s
robbed a Walgreens in Millbrae. Around
8:40 p.m., the man entered the store on 45
S. El Camino Real and, after loitering in the
aisles, approached the pharmacy counter
and demanded the pharmacist give him pain
pills. The suspect lifted his sweater and displayed a gun in his waistband, according to
the Sheriffs Office. The pharmacist complied and the suspect fled on foot. He was
described as approximately 5 feet 9 inches

tall with a medium build, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
Sheriffs Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said
the description of the suspect and his technique match those of several other crimes
in various cities.
Detectives are definitely looking at the
possibility that this is one of a string of
these types of crimes, because the M.O. has
been pretty similar, Rosenblatt said.
During Wednesdays San Carlos robbery,
the suspect was last seen wearing blackrimmed glasses, a dark jacket and tan pants.
Anyone with information is asked to call
sheriffs Detective Jon Sebring at (650)
363-4057 or Detective Andy Armando at
(650) 363-4347.
Sex offender guilty of bookstore molestation

A 71-year-old registered sex offender who

allegedly molested a 10-year-old girl in an
isolated area of a San Mateo bookstore last
summer and later arrested in Mountain View
for similar behavior is guilty of six felonies
in the local case that could send him to
prison for life.
A jury convicted Christopher Wendell
Miller, of San Jose, on Tuesday afternoon of
kidnapping to commit a lewd act with a
child, two counts of child molestation,
indecent exposure and child annoyance for
sexual purposes. When sentenced Jan. 28,
Miller faces 100 years to life in prison
because of the kidnapping conviction and
his previous convictions for child molesta-
tion and burglary.

According to prosecutors, on June 23, 2013, a
man later identified as
Miller approached the
girl in the childrens
reading area of Barnes &
Noble on Hillsdale
Boulevard and exposed
Christopher himself. He also allegedly ordered the girl to

Prison for devil and skeleton masked robber

A man who sported a devil and skeleton

mask during armed robberies in San Mateo
and Redwood City last year was sentenced
to three years in prison.
Parker Zamora Ames, 21, of San Mateo,
received the maximum allowed under the
terms of a plea agreement reached in
August on one count of robbery with
enhancements for using a weapon. A judge
also agreed to strongly consider probation and the Delancey Street rehabilitation program but instead Ames received
the prison term. He has credit of 483 days
against the term and must also pay restitu-
tion to his victims in an amount still to be

determined.
Ames was charged with the robbery on
Sept. 27, 2013, at a 7-Eleven store on
North San Mateo Drive in San Mateo and
another robbery on Oct. 1, 2013, at a
Happy Donuts shop on El Camino Real in
Redwood City. In both cases, Ames wore a
mask a Halloween devil mask in the
first heist and a skeleton mask in the second and used a knife to threaten the
store clerk and take cash, prosecutors
said.
After the doughnut shop robbery, a witness saw Ames and followed him and
helped police identify him as the suspect.
prosecutors said.
The man remained at large until identified
through photographs and video circulated
by police and arrested in Mountain View for
fondling himself in front of two young girls
at a Walmart. The mother yelled at the man
and alerted store employees who followed
him to his car and wrote down the license
plate number for police who arrested him
Sept. 7, 2013.
Miller was also suspected in a Union City
incident at a Burger King. Like Miller, the
suspect wore a fisherman-style hat.
Miller remains in custody without bail.

Since the photo involved was distributed

The case, revealed in an audit report of

A police detective was reviewing digital

that, which is deeply unfortunate because it

cuts directly against the spirit of the
health care law, said Avideh Moussavian,
an attorney at the National Immigration
Law Center. They should have had the
opportunity to buy health insurance just
like anybody else.
Less clear until now was their eligibility
for retirement benefits for which they
would have paid into through payroll
taxes.
Describing the administrations position, one official said Wednesday that any
immigrant considered lawfully present and
holding a Social Security number would be
entitled to Social Security and Medicare
upon retirement because they would have
paid into the system.
Stephen Miller, a spokesman for Sen.
Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a leading
Republican opponent of Obamas execu-
tive actions, said making immigrants illegally in the U. S. eligible for Social
Security and Medicare is an attack on
working families.
The amnestied illegal immigrants are
largely older, lower-wage and lower-skilled
and will draw billions more in benefits
than they will pay in, he said.
Beneficiaries would have to be of retirement age and have worked for at least 10
years. Immigrants would also be eligible
for survivor benefits if the deceased worker
had worked for 10 years. For disability
insurance, they would have to work for 520 years.
A report by the White House Council of
Economic Advisers this week concluded
that Obamas executive actions would
expand the U.S. tax base because about
two-thirds of immigrants illegally working in the United States dont pay taxes.
But many immigrants currently working

illegally still pay into the Social Security
system because they have obtained an
Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
Moussavian said the number has declined
because the Internal Revenue Service has
made it harder to apply for the identification number.
The Social Security Administration estimates that out of about 11 immigrants who
either entered the U.S. illegally or have
overstayed their visas slightly more than 3
million paid payroll taxes of about $6.5
billion in 2010, with their employers contributing another $6.5 billion.
Those payments would not qualify
toward the 10 year requirement needed to be
eligible for benefits, the administration
official said. The official was not authorized to describe the policy by name and
spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Over the next 25 years, Glen and Irma
would remain friends, often at long distance. She moved back to Milwaukee, and
Plainfield, then out to Yosemite where her
father was working. Glen, meanwhile,
was called to serve in World War II. She
sent letters, and he sent souvenirs from
his travels, and so it went for many years.
It wasnt until Irma was 45 that she and
Glen decided to get married.

They moved to the Farm Hill neighborhood of Redwood City in 1958 and Irma
began teaching at Goodwin School, which
would later become Kennedy Middle
School.
When Hofslund finally retired, she was
76, and had logged a total of 50 years as a
teacher.
These days, Hofslunds is a low-key life.
Glen passed away in 1983, and she traded in
the house on Farm Hill for a one-bedroom
apartment. Now she is happy brunching
with her niece, watching the Giants (who
recently invited her to a game as a guest of
honor), and taking her weekly trip to the

hair salon.
She comes in every week and I dye her
hair, said Maria Peterson, Irmas regular
stylist. She says so her husband will recognize her in heaven as the red-headed girl
he fell in love with.
Amidst the hubbub of her recent accolades, Hofslund remains humble and softspoken about her life.
People will say to me whats your
secret, Hofslund said, flashing her youthful smile once more. And I say I dont have
a secret, but I wouldnt tell you if I did. Its

Oakland protesters block

freeways, break windows
By Kristen J. Bender
and Christopher Weber
OAKLAND Ninety-two people

were arrested in Oakland on Tuesday
night as demonstrators vandalized
businesses and blocked freeways,
while in Los Angeles nearly 200 people were arrested or cited in continuing
California protests spawned by a
Missouri grand jurys refusal to indict a
white police officer in the shooting of
a young black man.
Los Angeles protesters also stormed
a downtown freeway Wednesday morning. In San Diego, protesters disrupted
Interstate 5 traffic early Wednesday.
Violence and looting, however, was
largely confined to Oakland and worse
than Monday night.
The number arrested Tuesday more
than doubled from the night before;
only 40 people were taken into custody
Monday.
On Tuesday, protesters smashed windows at a luxury car dealership, several
eateries, a paint store and a convenience store in a two-block area about 2
miles from the heart of downtown
Oakland.
Protesters bashed windows at a
Kelly-Moore Paints store, pulled gallons of white paint from the shelves
and splattered it in the intersection and
at a cafe.

At the nearby Arbor Cafe, protesters
broke windows and tossed white paint
on the floors and tables.
Cafe owner Eric Marquez is all for
freedom of speech, but he is upset with
how the protesters are voicing their
outrage.
It was violent, chaotic, and I think
very unnecessary, Marquez told to
KNTV.
At a nearby luxury car dealership,
vandals kicked windows and caused
about $10,000 in damage to the business and dinged a blue 1968 convertible Mercedes, KNTV reported.
Back in the streets, protesters burned
mattresses, trash cans and debris,
police said There were no reports of
injuries to protesters, but three police
officers were injured, police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.
Protesters briefly closed Interstates
580 and 980, but Oakland police officers in riot helmets kept them clear
them from traffic lanes.

Spare the Air alert issued for Thanksgiving
Bay Area residents will be prohibited from burning firewood
and other solid fuels on Thanksgiving Day during the third
Winter Spare the Air alert issued by the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, agency officials said Wednesday.
Both indoor and outdoor wood-burning fires are prohibited,
according to the air quality management agency. Management
district officials said cool, stagnant weather conditions are
trapping wood smoke pollution throughout the Bay Area.
Unfortunately, weather conditions are expected to cause air
pollutions levels to climb to unhealthy levels on
Thanksgiving Day, said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of
the air district. To protect our families and neighbors this
Thanksgiving, its important that Bay Area residents refrain
from wood burning.
During the winter, wood smoke from the 1.4 million fireplaces and wood stoves in the Bay Area is the single largest
source of air pollution and contributes to the risk of respiratory illness, agency officials said.
During the Spare the Air Alert, residents are banned from
using fireplaces, woodstoves and inserts, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices, according to
the air management agency.
First-time violators will be given the option of taking a
wood smoke awareness class in lieu of paying a penalty. A second violation will result in a $500 fine, and agency officials
said subsequent violations would result in more expensive
fines.
Berkeley students suspend tuition hike protest

BERKELEY Students at the University of California,
Berkeley have suspended their week-long protest in a campus
classroom building over tuition increases.
Maiya Moncino, a fourth year Berkeley student and spokeswoman for The Open UC protest group, said students voted on
Tuesday night to clean up and leave Wheeler Hall.
Moncino says group members may re-inhabit the building
next week, but dont think that staying there full-time is the
only way to make their opposition to the tuition hikes
known.
They are planning to hold a rally on Tuesday, which is the
50th anniversary of a historic sit-in at Berkeley that was part
of the campus Free Speech Movement.

Police identify possible

drowned Pacifica surfer
Police believe a surfer who may
have drowned at a Pacifica beach on
Sunday evening was 52-year-old
Brook Kenyon, Pacifica police said
Wednesday.
Police, fire and U.S. Coast Guard
personnel responded to a report from
witnesses who said they saw a surfboard with no surfer wash onto the
shore at Rockaway Beach at around
4:48 p.m., said Pacifica police Capt.
Dan Steidle.
Steidle said witnesses reported seeing a body in the water and the first
officer to respond to the scene also
saw the body.
The body quickly disappeared under
the surf though and Steidle said emergency crews never caught a second
glimpse of it.
Steidle said they believe the surfer
was a Shingle Springs man based on
property and a vehicle found at
Surfers Lot, located at 500 Old
County Road. Police contacted
Kenyons family, who confirmed he
was supposed to be in Pacifica that
day and entered his name into a
national missing persons database.
The search for Kenyons body was
called off around 10 p.m. Sunday, said
Coast Guard Lt. j.g. Jacob Aulner.
Detectives from the Pacifica police are
continuing to investigate the incident.

Construction to close portion

of Ralston Avenue Dec. 2
By Christopher S. Ruaber
Ralston Avenue will be closed

between Chula Vista Drive and Notre
Dame Avenue from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Tuesday for sewer main construction,
according to the city.
Workers will be bringing in two
sections of 600-foot long fused sewer
pipes from Notre Dame Avenue to
Chula Vista Drive, weather permitting, at that time.
Police officers will be at the surrounding locations to help direct traffic, if necessary. Proper signs, barricades and flaggers will be provided
by the contractor to minimize the
impact to traffic, according to the
city.
The city suggests making sure to

WASHINGTON The number of people seeking U.S.

unemployment benefits jumped last week, pushing total
applications above 300,000 for the first time in nearly
three months.
Weekly applications rose 21,000 to a seasonally adjusted
313,000, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Thats the
highest level since the first week of September. The fourweek average, a less volatile measure, rose 6,250 to
294,000.
The increase is unlikely to raise concerns about the
broader health of the job market. At least some of the rise
occurred because of seasonal layoffs in businesses affected
by the cold weather, such as construction. The department
seeks to control for such seasonal factors but doesnt
always do so perfectly.
Applications had been under 300,000 for 10 straight
weeks, an unusually low level that indicates companies are
laying off fewer workers.
Even with last weeks increase, the overall level of applications is well below where it was 12 months ago. The four
week average has tumbled 12.2 percent in the past year, and
isnt that far from a 14-year low of 279,000 reached last
month
Though we have seen increases over the past three weeks
in the four-week average, the trend in claims remains relatively low, Derek Lindsey, an economist at BNP Paribas,
said in a note to clients.
The fall in applications has coincided with stronger job
gains. Employers have added an average of 229,000 jobs a
month this year, putting 2014 on pace to be strongest year
for hiring since 1999. Thats up from an average of
194,000 last year.
The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.8 percent, a sixyear low, down from 7.2 percent a year ago.
Still, the number of people without jobs is concerning,
with nearly 9 million Americans officially unemployed.
That compares with 7.6 million before the recession. Yet
barely a quarter of the unemployed are actually receiving
unemployment aid.
That partly reflects the drop in layoffs. But it also suggests that Americans are more confident that they will find
work when they do lose jobs. They also may be finding
jobs faster than in the earlier stages of the recovery. As a
result, they may be less likely to seek unemployment benefits. The percentage of laid off workers who apply for benefits is lower than it was just after the recession ended five
years ago, economists estimate.

U.S. tightens smog limits in bid to protect health

By Josh Lederman and Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON In a fresh confrontation with Republicans, the Obama administration on Wednesday proposed stricter
emissions limits on smog-forming pollution linked to asthma and respiratory illness. The move fulfilled a long-delayed
campaign promise by President Barack
Obama but left environmental and public
health groups wanting more.
Business
groups
panned
the
Environmental Protection Agencys new
ozone regulations as unnecessary and the
costliest in history, warning they could
jeopardize a resurgence in American manufacturing. But EPA Administrator Gina
McCarthy argued that the public health benefits far outweigh the costs and that most of
the U.S. can meet the tougher standards
without doing anything new.
We need to be smart as we always have
in trying to find the best benefits in a
way that will continue to grow the economy, McCarthy said. Of reducing ozone, she
court ordered the EPA to issue a new draft

smog rule by Dec. 1, with an October 2015
deadline to finalize it. Rather than settling
on a firm new ozone limit now, the EPA is
proposing a range of 65 parts per billion to
70. Yet in a nod to concerns on both sides,
the EPA will also take public comments on
an even stricter standard of 60, as well the
existing standard of 75 that President
George W. Bush put in place in 2008.
Cutting ozone emissions to 70 parts per
billion would cost industry about $3.9 billion in 2025, the EPA estimated, while a
stricter limit of 65 would push the cost up to
$15 billion. A price tag that high would
exceed that of any previous environmental

Eyeing 16, Hillary Clinton

selective on policy issues
By Ken Thomas
WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham

Clinton offered praise for President Barack
Obamas executive actions to stave off
deportation for millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. But the Democrats
favored presidential hopeful has been less
forthcoming on other issues in these early
days of the 2016 contest.
Clinton is not, so far, a candidate, and
shes limiting her commentary about the
daily news cycle confronting Obama a
strategy that could keep down chatter about
where she and the unpopular president agree
and where they diverge.
The former secretary of state, senator and
first lady is not talking about the Keystone
XL pipeline, rejected by one vote in the
final weeks of the Democrat-led Senate. She
has yet to speak publicly about a sweeping
climate change agreement between the U.S.
and China, an extension of talks over Irans
nuclear program or the Senates move to
block a bill to end bulk collection of
Americans phone records by the National
Security Agency.
When
Obama
announced his moves to
prevent the deportations
for nearly 5 million
immigrants living in the
U. S. illegally, Clinton
quickly embraced the
decision on Twitter. The
president, she wrote, was
Hillary Clinton taking action on immigration in the face of
inaction in Congress. In doing so, she signaled that as a candidate, she would run
against the Republican-led House and
Senate that convenes next year. Clinton
also drew a distinction from her would-be
GOP opponents who have spoken of immigration reform in large part as a border security problem.
On other weighty policy matters, however, Clinton is mum.
Youve got to make choices if youre not
a candidate, said Lanny Davis, a White
House special counsel during the Clinton
administration who attended law school
with Bill and Hillary Clinton. She is not a
candidate for president. When she becomes a
candidate, she has to start answering questions.

Heart stent for Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg, 81

By Mark Sherman and Sam Hananel

Guinea, hit by Ebola,

CONAKRY, Guinea The health workers rode on canoes and rickety boats to
deliver cholera vaccines to remote islands
in Guinea. Months later, the country has
recorded only one confirmed cholera case
this year, down from thousands.
The rare success, overshadowed by the
Ebola outbreak that has ravaged Guinea and
two other West African countries, is being
cautiously attributed to the vaccinations
and to hand-washing in the campaign
against Ebola.
Helen Matzger of the Bill & Melinda

is encouraging other countries to accept
the cholera vaccine and has led the GAVI
Alliance which works to deliver vaccines to the worlds poor to invest in a

NEW YORK The U.S. stock market eked out another record close on
Wednesday ahead of the Thanksgiving
holiday as investors assessed the latest reports on the economy and some
corporate earnings.
Orders for long-lasting manufactured
goods rose in October, but a key category that tracks business investment
plans declined sharply for a second
straight month. Another report
showed U.S. consumers spent modestly more in October, a slight improvement after no gain at all in the previous month.
The reports paint a picture of a
good, but not great economy, said
Scott Keifer, global investment specialist at JPMorgan Private Bank.
Slow growth is keeping inflation low
and thats holding down interest rates.
The result is an environment in which
stocks can prosper.
There seems to be a feeling that the
markets are going to continue to drift
higher as we get to the end of the year,
said Keifer, who is based in Orange
County.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 5.80 points, or 0.3 percent, to
2,072.83. The index has now closed at
an all-time high on 47 occasions this
year.
The Dow Jones industrial average

rose 12.81 points, or 0.1 percent, to
17, 827. 75. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 29.07 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 4,787.32.
Semiconductor stocks were among
the gainers on Wednesday after Analog
Devices reported income and revenue
that exceeded Wall Streets forecasts.
The company said it expects revenue
growth of 21 percent in its first fiscal
quarter. The stock jumped $2.85, or
5.5 percent, to $54.56, leading gains
for semiconductor stocks in the S&P
500, which rose 2.3 percent.
Stocks have rebounded strongly
from a slump that lasted from midSeptember to mid-October. The S&P
500 has surged 11.3 percent since
then. The gains have slowed this
week, however, ahead of the
Thanksgiving holiday.
This seems to be a classic holiday
plateau, said Kristina Hooper, head of
US Capital Markets Research &
Strategy for Allianz Global Investors.
Probably, we are not going to get any
focus until we come back on Monday.
The U.S. stock market will be closed
on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday. It will also close early, at 1:00
p.m. Eastern time, on Friday.
Among individual stocks, Deere was
among the losers.
The companys fourth-quarter results
were stronger than Wall Street expect-
ed, but the company said its sales of

farm equipment and its income will
keep falling in the companys new fiscal year. Deeres stock slid 80 cents, or
0.9 percent, to $86.99.
Energy stocks were once again the
biggest loser of the 10 industry groups
represented in the S&P 500 index as
the price of oil dipped again.
The price of oil slid to another fouryear low in light trading ahead of an
OPEC meeting Thursday in Vienna that
is not expected to result in a cut to
global production.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell 40 cents
to close at $73.69 a barrel on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
58 cents to close at $77.75 a barrel
on the ICE Futures exchange in
London.
Energy stocks slumped 1.1 percent,
taking their loss for the year to 5.6
percent. The sector is the only group
in the S&P 500 to be down for the year.
In metals trading, futures closed little changed from the day before. Gold
fell 50 cents to $1,196.60 an ounce,
silver edged down half a cent to $16.55
an ounce and copper was flat at $2.96 a
pound.
In bond trading, U.S. Treasury prices
rose slightly. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell to 2.24 percent
from 2.26 on Tuesday.
U.S. agency threatens to act against air bag maker

By Tom Krisher
DETROIT U. S. safety regulators

threatened fines and legal action against
Takata Corp. Wednesday unless the company admits that its drivers air bag inflators
are defective and agrees to a nationwide
recall.
In a letter to Takatas Washington office,
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration gave the Japanese company until Tuesday to file paperwork declaring a defect and expanding the recall from
high-humidity states to the full nation.
The companys air bags have been
blamed for at least five deaths and multiple
injuries worldwide. They can inflate with
too much force, blowing apart a mental
canister and spewing shrapnel.

The letter is the first step in a legal
process to compel a nationwide recall. To
do so, the agency must determine that
theres a safety defect and hold a public
hearing. Then it can go to court. It can also
fine the company up to $7,000 per vehicle
with defective inflators, and NHTSA says
there are millions on the road today.
Be assured that we will use all of our
authority and resources, Transportation
Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement.
Takata has maintained that the air bag
problems are caused by prolonged exposure
to airborne moisture, and that theres no
need for a national recall. Moisture can
make the chemical propellant in the air
bags burn too fast. Boundaries of the recall

covers Gulf Coast states, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico and some U.S. territories.
A company spokesman was working on a
response Wednesday.
In the letter, NHTSA says Takata hasnt
safety defect papers as demanded by the
agency Nov. 18. The company, the letter
said, has not explained why two drivers
side air bag inflators ruptured outside the
high-humidity areas.
Despite the severe consequences of air
bag ruptures and mounting data demonstrating a safety defect, Takata responded that it
did not agree with NHTSAs basis for a
nationwide recall, the letter stated.

Skyline unbeaten across the board

Lady Trojans, like Skyline mens team, still undefeated to start the 2014-15 basketball season
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Since freshman Alyssa Dela Cruz came off

the bench in the Skyline womens basketball opener, she has done nothing but produce.
With the Skyline mens team off to an 8-0
start this season, the women have manufactured their own undefeated streak. Dela Cruz
fronts a guard brigade that has helped the

Lady Trojans to four straight wins to start
the year. She currently paces the squad with
a shooting average of 16.2 point per game.
Dela Cruzs performance in the Nov. 11
season opener set the tone for the Trojans,
who prevailed 63-52 at Merritt College.
After trailing 27-23 at halftime, Skyline
scored 40 points in the second half. Dela
Cruz totaled a game-high 15 points, includ-
ing two big steals down the stretch to put

the game on ice by converting late points.
You always want to get that first W,
Skyline head coach Chris Watters said. It
relaxes people to let them know theyre
doing the right thing. It kind of takes away
the pressure.
The win was a historic one for Watters, as
it marks the first time in his three years at
the Skyline helm he has won on opening

day. The current four-game winning streak is

also a career best. All the wins have been by
margins of 11 points or more. Watters said
the point differential is misleading though.
Its not like theyve been runaways, but
weve shown the ability to finish the game,
which we didnt have last year, Watters
said.

out works Magic
By Kyle Hightower
SAN JOSE Karri Ramo made 32 saves for

his third career shutout and Jiri Hudler scored
both goals to lead the Calgary Flames to a 20 victory over the San Jose Sharks on
Wednesday night.
Hudler broke a scoreless tie with a goal in
the second and sealed the game with an
empty-net goal on the power play late in the
third as the Flames bounced back a night after
losing 3-2 in Anaheim to win for just the second time in their past nine trips to San Jose.
Antti Niemi made 17 saves for the struggling Sharks, who have lost four straight.
San Jose hasnt led at any point during the
skid, marking the first time since February
2013 that the Sharks have gone four straight
games without a lead.
After playing a record 16 of their first 21
games on the road, the Sharks were hoping to
find their stride on a six-game homestand. But
they have lost the first three games in that
stretch and have just two wins in eight games
at the Shark Tank this season.
Ramo did his best to extend the Sharks
misery, beating them for the third straight
time. He has allowed just two goals on 94
shots in that span. He was tested a bit in the
third, but Patrick Marleau couldnt get a puck
past him from the side of the net and Ramo
stopped Joe Thornton on a rebound chance.
The Sharks had chances to get on the board
early in the second, but Marleau hit the crossbar during a power play.
The Flames then got on the board late in
the period during 4-on-4 action, taking
advantage of a tired group of Sharks at the
end of a long shift. Hudler completed a
pretty give-and-go with a wrist shot past
Niemi to make it 1-0.
Ramo preserved the lead late in the period
with a strong glove save against Tommy
Wingels.

ORLANDO, Fla. Stephen Curry had 28

points, including six 3-pointers, as the
Golden State Warriors
rolled to a 111-96 victory
over the Orlando Magic on
Wednesday night.
Curry sat in the fourth
quarter of Golden States
seventh straight victory
overall and third consecutive win over the Magic.
The Warriors led by as many
Steph Curry as 27 in the second half.
Harrison Barnes added 16
points. Seven Warriors reached double figures.
Orlando, which has been bothered by a rash
of recent injuries, lost its third straight game.
Tobias Harris led the Magic with 16 points and
10 rebounds.
The Warriors hit their first five shots of the
night to take a 10-0 lead barely two minutes
into the game.
Then Curry got going, connecting on all
four of his 3-point attempts as part of a 14point opening quarter. He finished the half
with 25, going 5 for 5 from beyond arc.
His sixth consecutive make from 3 early in
the second half pushed Golden States lead to
20. He didnt miss his first 3-pointer of the
night until the 5:39 mark of the third quarter.
Orlando entered Wednesday having seen its
players miss a total of 43 games to injury or
illness this season.
Five Magic players began the day on the
injury report. Three of them Evan Fournier
(right quad contusion, Harris (strained right
calf), and Kyle OQuinn (sprained left ankle)
were all active against the Warriors. For
OQuinn it was his first action since the season-opener.
Despite Currys shooting, the extra personnel provided Orlando an energy injection that
helped the Magic keep pace for a while.
Orlando made a spurt early in the second
quarter, briefly taking a two-point lead. But
the Warriors outscored the Magic 29-14 the
rest of the half.
Seahawks, 49ers meet for 1st time this season

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Richard Shermans

leaping deflection of a pass headed for
Michael Crabtree in the corner of the end
zone was the defining moment to seal last
Januarys NFC Championship Game that
sent the Seattle Seahawks on their way to a
Super Bowl win.
The tip landed right in the hands of
Malcolm Smith for the interception.

Shermans mouthy response afterward
along with a choking gesture toward Colin
Kaepernick and the 49ers bench will certainly fuel San Francisco as the NFC West
rivals face off Thursday night for the first of
two important matchups in a three-week
span.
It was cool just to clinch the game like
that, defensive end Cliff Avril said. No
better person to do it than Sherm and
Malcolm getting it.
Sherman made the play, then patted

Crabtree on the backside while extending
his hand for a shake, prompting the 49ers
wideout to shove the brash cornerback in
the face.
After that 23-17 victory at CenturyLink
Field, Sherman took it much further.
I was making sure everybody knew
Crabtree was a mediocre receiver, Sherman
said. And when you try the best corner in
the game with a mediocre receiver thats
what happens.
Sherman was later fined for unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting.

Obviously you want to win that game,
but its in the past now, Kaepernick said.
We know weve been through this before.
But its a different year, a different season.
Its all still plenty fresh as the rivals play
another meaningful game merely 10
months later, this time between a pair of 74 teams trying to stay alive in the playoff

NINERS
race with a chance to catch first-place
Arizona (9-2).
I remember just the feeling after we got
that interception and sealing our trip to the
Super Bowl, Seahawks linebacker Bobby
Wagner said. All that is in the past. Theyre
trying to make it to the playoffs this year,
just like were trying to.
Kaepernick isnt about to get involved in
any kind of back and forth with the emotional defensive back. He expects Crabtree
to be focused, too.
Its another game for him. I dont think
hes worried about anything else,
Kaepernick said.
Here are some things to watch for in the
first of two matchups between the rivals in
the next three weeks:
Two games in three weeks

Seattle coach Pete Carroll is embracing
how the schedule worked out, with two lateseason matchups against the rival Niners in
a three-week span.
Two teams that have captured the past

three NFC West crowns need to keep winning, though Carroll insists these games
are intense regardless of records or standings.
Wed still be playing these games as
championship games the way we look at
it, Carroll said. If we were here and our
record was different than it is, we would play
every one of these games like its the last
game we get to play all year.
Thats how we do it. ... We would never
look for some cushy way into the playoffs.
We dont want to be a playoff team, we want
to be a division champion. So were going
to continue to fight for that as long as
theres hope.
Beast Mode bounce back?

Marshawn Lynch managed just 39 yards
on 15 carries in a 19-3 win against Arizona
on Sunday, and needs to get his body healed
up in a hurry. Quarterback Russell Wilson
outgained him.
His troublesome sore back has hindered
him this season.
Lynch ran for 124 yards the previous week
facing the Chiefs and 140 the game before
that against the Giants.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, for one, is
counting on Lynchs best.

Panda heads put away with Sandovals departure

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Those oversized

panda heads are being put away at least the
ones seen in the first row at AT&T Park. Pablo
Sandovals bamboo-eating buddies arent following him to Beantown.
Sam Li, a San Francisco Giants fan often
inside one of the four humongous panda
heads, said Wednesday he and his friends have
decided they must find a new way to honor
their team. They had worn those heads in tribute to Sandoval, nicknamed Kung Fu Panda
by teammate Barry Zito in September 2008.
After his $17.15 million, three-year contract ended with the Giants, Sandoval agreed to
a $95 million, five-year deal with Boston this
week, saying he needed a new challenge.
Li, best friend Michael Jessen and about
eight others have rotated under the panda
heads in recent years. Li said in an email to
The Associated Press that the group became
Giants fans while attending college at
California-Berkeley across the bay and found
the original head on Amazon.com for about
$130. They acquired the rest from a toy manufacturer who is a friend of Lis.
We could not believe how much more fun
those little somethings the panda heads
brought to every San Franciscans life, Li
wrote. For that, we felt the best. We have
stuck those heads out of our car windows after
games, and every single San Franciscan on the
street brought a wide grin and joy. It is only a
very small something, not more than say
bringing a jacket to a game, but it touches so
JOHN RIEGER/USA TODAY SPORTS
The four panda heads, which travelled to Kansas City for the World Series, will not be following
Pablo Sandoval to Boston. One of the famed fans said Buster Posey is his favorite player.
many people on so many levels, and in a lot of
cases, changes peoples life. It is wonderful.
Li said the group hopes to donate one of the
panda heads to the Giants with the idea that it
could be placed in the clubhouse or somewhere
special in the ballpark to remember
Sandovals contributions to World Series title
teams in 2010, 12 and 14. Li termed the head
part of Giants history.

Sandoval, a free-swinging, switch-hitting
third baseman, was MVP of the 2012 Series
sweep of Detroit after a three-homer game in
the opener.
Sandoval wasnt even Lis favorite Giants
player. That distinction goes to catcher Buster
Posey, and the group wore Posey jerseys
along with the panda heads.

Everyone asked, Why 28 jersey with
panda? We always answered, We are here for
the team, Li said. It is teamwork, and the
Giants have better teamwork than any other
baseball team.
Li said part of the pleasure of wearing the
panda heads has been to support the Giants
without making their identities known. Some
of the group also wore fake facial hair during
the Fear the Beard movement when bushybearded closer Brian Wilson worked the ninth
inning for San Francisco.
The only other member of the group Li identified by name was Jessen, president of
Wallys Wine Auctions in New York. Li said he
and his friends attended every postseason
game during each World Series run.
We must have about 10 different friends of
ours inside a panda head at games, in some
rotations, Li said. (Michael) is a Yankees
fan, naturally, but the Giants are his National
League team and West Coast team, so it fit well
to his passion for the Yankees. Other friends
are more shy like myself.
They have enjoyed getting to know
Sandoval and wish him well. But they are
loyal to the orange and black and dont have a
trip planned to Fenway Park to catch Sandoval
in a Red Sox uniform next year.
Good luck to Pablo, and we will watch
Boston with interest, Li said. Nothing
more. We will not cheer for any other player
than in Giants jerseys. We will have to find
something else to bring that dimension back
to the game. We will retire the panda heads.
Cuban OF in process of deal with D-Backs

By Ronald Blum
Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas is

in the process of agreeing to a $68.5
million, six-year contract with the
Arizona Diamondbacks, according to a
person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity Wednesday because the deal
had not yet been completed. The person
said several additional steps were necessary but the agreement was likely to
be finalized in the next few days.
MLB.com reported Wednesday a deal
had been agreed to.

Tomas, 24, hit .375 (6 for 16) for
Cuba with two homers and five RBIs in
last years World Baseball Classic.
He would join an outfield hampered last
season by injuries to Mark Trumbo (stress
fracture in left foot) and A.J. Pollock (broken right hand), who both missed about
half the season. Trumbo, Ender Inciarte
and Cody Ross have been Arizonas top
projected corner outfielders.
Arizona went a major league-worst 6498 last season, fired manager Kirk
Gibson and reassigned general manager
Kevin Towers, who left to becomes a

Cincinnati Reds special assistant.

Former big league pitcher Dave Stewart
was hired as the Diamondbacks GM under
Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa and
Chip Hale took over as manager.
In total dollars among Cuban players, Tomas deal would fall just short of
the $72.5 million, seven-year contract
agreed to in August between outfielder
Rusney Castillo and the Boston Red
Sox. The $11.42 million average would
be just above first baseman Jose
Abreus $11.33 million average in the
$68 million, six-year deal he agreed to
with the White Sox in October 2011.

Holiday decor:
Inventiveness
and eclecticism
By Kim Coook
Following the general trend in

home dicor, holiday trim and
accessories this year are an eclectic mix of traditional and non-traditional colors and styles.
Remember when blue or pastel
pink ornaments were the height of
kitsch? Now theyre mainstream,
elegant options. And while red and
green are popular hues, they are
not married to each other. Red
might be paired with ivory, or
amethyst; green may partner with
copper, caramel or bright white.
As for what goes on the tree or
the mantel, well, thats the thing
anything goes.
Style watchers say were
approaching the holidays with a
more open mind. Households are
more diverse, relaxed and less tied
to old-school ways of celebrating.
So it follows that ideas of what
works in dicor have never been
more expansive. Some general
trends:
HOLIDAY HUES
While jewel tones and creamy
palettes hold strong, red is redhot.
When it comes to an it color

for Christmas this year, its red
a bright, cheery red like you find
on traditional Scandinavian ornaments, says Sara Peterson, editor
in chief of HGTV Magazine. Red
may seem like an oh, duh color
trend, but there have been years
when greens, blues and purples
were more popular. This season,
were seeing a ton of decorations
in candy red.
Ikea has a cheery collection of
traditional Scandinavian ornaments including folk people, stars
and goats. Land of Nods Rising

RETHINKING
THE TRADITIONAL
Since folks are open to reimag-
ining what Christmas can look

like, well continue to see a looser
interpretation of the traditional
tree, says Catie Parrish, associate editor at Wayfair, the online
home furnishings outlet. Were
starting to see lots of paper and
cardboard tabletop trees, and people are getting inventive, creating
flat Christmas trees on walls,
doors and even fridges. Theyre
even decorating them with real

ornaments and garlands. For
someone who craves the charm of
a real tree, even an evergreen
branch in a mason jar can lend a
hint of the holidays.

Pet massage gaining popularity
PHOENIX Spa treatments dont stop with people. You
wont see any aromatherapy candles around, but animals get
massages, too, and its become a regular service that many
pet owners value as more than just glorified petting.
People call me because their dogs are having problems,
said Shelah Barr, a San Francisco dog massage therapist.
The work I do is important for animals so they have a high
quality of life.
Practitioners say massage can be a preventive measure for
younger animals and rehabilitative for older ones by boosting flexibility, circulation and immunity. As its popularity
continues to grow, primarily among dog and horse owners,
so does the debate about regulation. Some veterinarians argue
that pet massage is a form of veterinary medicine that requires
a license, but whether therapists need one varies by state. The
issue has sparked a lawsuit in Arizona, where three practitioners are suing the state veterinarian licensing board.
Pet owners spent $4.4 billion last year on other services,
a category that includes grooming, training and services such
as massage, according to the American Pet Products
Association, which tracks national spending trends in the
pet industry. That is a 6.1 percent jump from 2012.

Some general themes this season:

turn wine corks, wooden sticks, colored paper and glitter into pretty little trees.
CONSERVE
Parrish also suggests taking stock
of what you already have around the
house: Instead of buying every holiday necessity, shopping your
home for existing solutions is one of
the easiest ways to decorate. A throw
blanket makes a cozy tree skirt. Use
a scarf as a table runner. Use nature
for holiday decoration think backyard
branches,
berries
and
pinecones, she says.
Fill a vase or candle holder with
jingle bells or peppermints. Wrap
red, green or metallic ribbon around
plain white pillar candles. Instead of
candles, top candle stick holders
with ornaments or snow globes.
Faux fur or knitted throws and pillow covers; throw pillows with snow
scenes or deer, antler and deer accessories; and glittery pillows evoke
the festive spirit without overt reference.
Consider scented candles, bowls of
spiced goodies, seasonal music and
warm, soft textures; bringing all five
senses into play enhances the holiday mood.
One of my favorite holiday dicor

themes is what were calling aquatic
Christmas, says Parrish. Its an
extension of the sea-life trend thats
been hot in home dicor for a few seasons. Look for octopus and mermaid
ornaments, especially in glittery silver and gold finishes.
Coastal dwellers know that a
beachy palette of blues, greens and
whites sets the tone. A tree skirt
block-printed with shells and
starfish in soft blues and creams
evokes a seaside Christmas.

blown-glass ornaments that include

From Japan, the joy of minimalism at home

By Katherine Roth
If you havent communed with your

socks lately, thanked your shoes for their
hard work or bowed (at least mentally) to
your home in appreciation, maybe its
time to consider it.
It is very natural for me to say thank
you to the goods that support us, says
Marie Kondo, whose method of lovingly
connecting with belongings that spark
joy and bidding a fond but firm farewell
to the rest is popular in Japan and now
catching on elsewhere.
Kondos book, The Life-Changing
Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of
Decluttering and Organizing, is a bestseller in Japan, Germany and Britain and
has recently been published in the United
States. Kondo has been the subject of a
movie in Japan, and the waiting list for
her services, once three months long, is
now so extensive that she has temporarily
stopped accepting more clients.
Her KonMarie Method, as she calls it
in the diminutive and illustration-free volume, encourages a rapid, dramatic and
transformative one-time organizing event
completed methodically and lovingly
in no more than six months. Its not an
ongoing battle against clutter.
Kondo sees tidying as a cheerful conversation in which anything that doesnt
spark joy is to be touched, thanked and
ceremonially sent on its way toward a better life elsewhere, where it can discover a
more appreciative owner.
The result can be life-changing, she
says. Clients suddenly find themselves
surrounded entirely by things that provide
clarity, unencumbered by belongings that
The key to the KonMarie Method is storing things mostly in drawers, arranged so that everything
can be seen at a glance and nothing is stacked, a practice decidedly unkind to items at the
bottom.
carry past baggage (unwanted gifts,
clothes that no longer fit) or anxieties
about the future (does anyone need more
cotton swabs than there are days of the
year?). Even her book, she says, should be
quickly discarded when its no longer
needed.
Part of what makes her method unusually speedy is that instead of de-cluttering room by room, she tackles a household by subject, starting with whats
easiest to part with. So, all the clothes,
t h en al l t h e b o o k s , t h en do cumen t s ,
then miscellany and, last and most difficult, photos and mementos.
Instead of deciding what to discard, she

says, the focus should be on what to keep:
which few things spark sufficient joy or
are truly necessary.
How to contend with family members
unready to join in the celebratory purge?
If possible, carry the bags out of the
house yourself. Theres no need to let
your family know the details of what you
throw out or donate, she writes, although
she advises against secretly disposing of
other peoples things. You can leave
communal spaces to the end. The first step
is to confront your own stuff.
After joyfully relegating mountains of

unneeded or unloved belongings to the
trash or charity, she then turns to organizing whats left.
The key, she says, is storing things
mostly in drawers, arranged so that everything can be seen at a glance and nothing
is stacked, a practice decidedly unkind to
items at the bottom.
So T-shirts and socks (the ones youve
kept because they make you happy) are
rolled no painfully balled-up socks
with moaning elastic here and beautifully arranged like sushi in a bento box.
Closets are meticulously arranged to fit
everything from electric fans (at the bottom) and spare blankets (on top) to carefully arranged clear drawers of beloved
belongings and a shelf or two with a few
joy-sparking books.
Papers and documents there wont be
many since few are truly necessary and
they generally hold so little joy are
likewise filed and not stacked.
Kondo says she has been obsessed with
tidying since she was 5, opting to
arrange shoes and pencils in school when
other kids played in the playground. She
began communing with her belongings in
high school and, after years of work at a
Shinto shrine, realized her calling as a
professional consultant on attaining the
joy of minimalism.
The inside of a house or apartment after
de-cluttering has much in common with a
Shinto shrine ... a place where there are no
unnecessary things, and our thoughts
become clear. It is the place where we
appreciate all the things that support us,
she says. It is where we review and
rethink about ourselves.

DATEBOOK
MATH
We want to cast the net wide, said
Mary Kay Going, assistant superintendent of student services. Were
not about holding kids back, but
were not going to have 30 percent of
our kids moving on and getting
burned out.
According to data from the San
Mateo Union High School District,
27 percent of accelerated students taking pre-calculus in high school were
receiving Ds and Fs at first marking
period this year, while 30 percent of
students accelerated into geometry as
freshmen do not take pre-calculus in
high school. It found 12 percent of
students accelerated into algebra II as
freshmen do not take calculus in high
school. If students skip Common
Core eighth-grade math and take algebra I, theyll miss learning about irrational numbers, applications of 3D
geometry, applications of the
Pythagorean theorem, mathematics
applications in the real world and
other lessons, according to a district
presentation. If they skip seventhgrade Common Core math, they miss
properties of rational numbers and
percents, probability, geometry concepts and other standards, while in
sixth-grade they will miss statistics,
equations, fractions and other items,
the presentation noted.
Still, some parents think the
change will hold their children back.
It seems youre holding 70 percent
back for the 30 percent who arent
making it, said Highlands parent
Andrew Norman. Isnt there also the
worry students are just going to tune
out? If youre teaching remedial stuff
here when your kid is looking for
something a lot higher. You guys
never listen and this is Silicon
Valley, our kids are in competition.
He noted schools should be moving
toward more personalized learning
anyway.
Old way, new way

Prior to the change, students frequently took geometry in middle
school, but the majority can now
only take algebra and there are significantly fewer students taking the subject. The pre-Common Core math
track for an average student was sixthgrade math, pre-algebra in seventhgrade, algebra I in eighth-grade,
geometry in ninth-grade, algebra II in
10th-grade, pre-calculus in 11thgrade and advanced placement math
courses in 12th-grade.
Currently, there is a geometry class
at three district middle schools,
Bowditch, Borel and Abbott. A fourth
class of students from Abbott are
Comment on
or share this story at
going to Hillsdale High School to
take geometry. There are 10 algebra
classes being offered districtwide,
said Molly Barton, assistant superintendent for student services. The district uses the Holt Mathematics textbook for sixth- through eighth-grade,
while Everyday Math is used for K-5.
The book contains content taught in
Common Core, but does not necessarily go through materials in the order
Common Cores teaches them.
Publishers are currently creating
Common Core content, Going said.
The movement for Common Core
materials has been slow.
The proposed common-core math
pathway for an average student starts
with Common Core math in middle
school, then follows the algebra I,
geometry, algebra II and pre-calculus
pathway, leaving out the possibility
of advanced placement math unless
students complete geometry in summer school or a class that combines
algebra II and pre-calculus.
Advancement too soon?

Others involved with the district
like David Kristofferson, a former district parent who runs a private tutoring business in math, physics and
chemistry, believe parents are pushing their children too hard to take
accelerated math before theyre ready.
Taking multivariable calculus junior
year seems completely insane in his
mind, he said.
Theyre struggling with problems,
taking three or four other AP classes
and trying to get into Harvard, he
said. Those paths are there, but our
whole system is rushing kids through
so much in high school. Its burning
kids out and leading to increased rates
of cheating.
Those like Andrea Gould, a former
Aragon High School math teacher and
current San Mateo Union High School
District math coordinator, said that
the district has found some students
were advanced in math too quickly.
The state says calculus is a college
subject through advanced placement
or IB (International Baccalaureate),
she said. In sixth-grade, theres no
recommendation for any acceleration.
The big concern for parents is getting kids to calculus.
Going added that the math support
classes struggling students have to
take end up taking a block out of their
schedules.
At the meeting, the two districts
showed a video explaining the math
changes, specifically that there is a
push to understanding math better.
Its the shift from finding the right
answer to explaining reasons for students thinking.

We care about how you learn and
how you think, said Laura Evans, a
math teacher at the Bayside STEM
Academy in a video created by the two
districts. Its really important for
high school and middle school to
connect.
Communication
When the meeting turned to audience members complaining that the
elementary school district implements major decisions under the rug,
the district said it did its best to let
parents know about the changes.
These are the pathways were
going to start with, Going said.
Weve barely begun. I apologize if it
seems that we didnt communicate; we
thought the video was enough.
She also noted she shared the pathways with various parents.
Still, some parents were not satisfied with Goings answer.
Why did you choose this specific
pathway? said Anne Pesquie, who
has children in both districts. Why
didnt you communicate about that?
You communicated the change of the
calendar, but this? Nothing. Parents
from Borel came to you last May and
said, I think that this is narrow. We
are not heard.
Some parents expressed fears that
parents will remove their children
from the district and children in the
district will lose intelligent peers.
Others explained that the way the
math track was formerly lent itself to
some students struggling.
My daughter is part of the 30 percent, said Susan Strong, a parent of a
high school junior who accelerated in
math previously. She started to falter
in algebra II because she didnt have
the basis. Her algebra I was not deep
enough, by the time she skipped a
year back from geometry, I saw she
would not be able to take pre-calculus.
Strong added that some of kids who
are straight A students are getting the
Ds and Fs in math. Calculus is not
on the SAT (college admission exam)
and if one doesnt have the solid basis
on the algebra, they need to take prep
classes, she said.
The school board will also likely
discuss the math pathways at its Dec.
11 meeting. All sixth-graders will
take a math placement exam by Feb.
4, 2015, according to the district. Go
