Grade separation on track for 25th Avenue

San Mateo, Caltrain collaborate on project nearing construction after decades of planning
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After more than 15 years of considering a major grade separation

project at the Caltrain line and
25th Avenue in San Mateo, the
city is nearing the final planning
stages for an improvement thats
touted to have tremendous benefits for commuters and residents.
Raising the tracks at 25th

Avenue is estimated to cost $165
million with groundbreaking slated for early 2017. Last week, the
City Council approved allocating
$2.4 million toward one of the
final planning pieces before construction can begin.
As the regional transit agency
plans to electrify the corridor and
high-speed rail seeks to share the
Peninsula portion of the tracks,

many cities are seeking grade separations that have been pushed for
safety reasons.
Councilman David Lim and City
Manager Larry Patterson said this
particular project would have lasting benefits by easing traffic patterns within the city, regardless of
whether the controversial highspeed rail comes to fruition.
BRUSSELS REMAINS ON HIGH ALERT
I think its crucial because that

is our main east-west artery over
the Caltrain tracks for all of southern San Mateo, Lim said. We
kept our eyes on the big picture,
which is getting a grade separation that will improve safety and
traffic flow 30 years from now,
whether or not high-speed rail is
here.
San Mateo has prioritized the
25th Avenue crossing for more

than 15 years and its now nearing
the final planning stages by setting aside funds to complete an
environmental review and finalize
the project design, Patterson said.
Last week, the council appropriated $2.4 million toward the estimated $11.2 million final design

Three days of the highest terror alert and unprecedented measures that have closed down Brussels subways,
schools and main stores, has created a very different atmosphere as the Belgian capital tries to avoid attacks
similar to the ones that caused devastating carnage in Paris. On Monday evening, Prime Minister Charles Michel
announced Brussels would remain at the highest alert level for another week unless there are any major
developments. He said that schools and subways would start to reopen on Wednesday. SEE STORY PAGE 7
Driven by a local economy

which continues to hum, a city
report shows South San Francisco
coffers grew beyond previous projections due largely to significant
jumps in property, sales and hotel
tax revenue.
The South San Francisco City
Council accepted Wednesday, Nov.
18, a report summarizing the economic health of the city over the
most recent fiscal year, a period
which saw the citys general fund
grow by $4.5 million more than
was approved in the final amended
budget, to an ending balance of

$87.3 million.
Proximity to San Francisco
International Airport continues to
be a boon for South San Francisco,
according to the report, as the primary flight access point to the
Bay Area has exposed the city to
an unprecedented amount of travelers who have pumped millions of
dollars into the local economy.
Though most of the tax revenue
streams which typically
account for a majority of the citys
general fund enjoyed growth

Lots of input on Belmont zoning rules City to address traffic cameras

Public forum draws many people, and many perspectives Extending red light cameras use goes before Millbrae council
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A workshop about city zoning rules may

not appear to be a huge draw, but nearly 150
residents of varying opinions crammed into
Belmont City Hall last week to get into the
details of how homes should be remodeled
and share ideas on the best path to move forward.
I was pleased by the fact that there was a
pretty large turnout, said Steve
Chamberlin, who said hes become more

involved in city government the past few
months and attended the meeting to support
efforts to ease the ability for property owners to remodel.
For the most part, it was really cordial.
You never would have guessed there was the

The Millbrae City Council will address a

The devices come before officials in the

On Wednesday afternoon, Angela

Lavanty remained at the scene.
The two men killed are friends, and
Little is believed to be a seasonal resident in the area, Hesser said.
Little lived full-time in the retirement community of Lac La Hache in

Torture memo inspires Sunlight

Redwood Citys Dragon Theatre production remains timely
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
When, if ever, is torture justified?

Thats a principal question at the heart of
Sharr Whites Sunlight, presented by
Dragon Theatre, but the issues extend
beyond that as four characters grapple with
their changing relationships.
Matthew (Tom Bleecker) is the liberal
president of a small, private East Coast university. His son-in-law, Vincent (Ben
Ortega), is a longtime protg who has
become dean of the universitys law school.
Matthew allowed him to take that post even
though Vincents views are much more conservative than his.
Matthew is appalled that Vincent has
helped to write a justification for the torture, aka enhanced interrogation, of terrorism suspects in the wake of the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Such interrogation includes waterboarding. Matthews
reaction leads him to acts that imperil his
job.
Torn between the two men is Charlotte
(Marjorie Hazeltine), Vincents wife and
Matthews daughter. An attorney, shes a
survivor of the 9/11 attacks in New York
City.
Maryanne
(Monica
Cappuccini),
Matthews longtime, no-nonsense executive assistant, often serves as referee in the
other characters encounters.
Tempers flare and emotions rise and fall
one snowy spring evening as the four await
a faculty vote of confidence or no confidence in Matthew.
White is said to have based his plot on
John Yoo, the UC Berkeley law professor
who wrote legal memos essentially giving
the Bush administration a green light to torture after 9/11.

Second devastating citrus bug found

Yellow Dragon Disease requiring north county quarantine
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A second bug known to cause devastation

to citrus trees has been discovered in the
county.
The Asian citrus psyllid is a pest that acts
as a carrier or vector spreading
Huanglongbing, a bacterial plant disease
fatal for citrus trees.
The second bug was found on Gateway
Drive in Pacifica about a mile south of
where the first bug was discovered on St.
Francis Drive in Daly City in late October.
The discovery of the bugs is prompting
the San Mateo County Agricultural
Commissioner and California Department
of Food and Agriculture to begin a survey
and treatment program that includes a quarantine of all citrus plant material in the
area.
The bug that carries the disease, also
known as Yellow Dragon Disease, is primarily found in tropical and subtropical
Asia. The disease is not harmful to humans
or animals. It was first detected in Florida
in 1998 and has done an estimated $3.6
billion in damage to the states citrus
industry.
California is the second-largest citrus
producer in the nation.
It was first discovered in
California in 2008. It is a
tiny mottled brown
insect, about the size
of an aphid.
Finding the second bug will result in an

expansion of the treatment areas around the
find sites from 100 meters to 400 meters
and increase the number of properties with
citrus trees that will require treatment,
according to a statement by Fred Crowder,
the countys Agricultural Commissioner.
Treatments of affected citrus trees in Daly
City began Nov. 19. Treatments start in
Pacifica this week.
CDFA officials have been going door to
door to notify residents who have citrus
trees of the planned treatments.
Treatment is voluntary with applications
being supervised by California Department
of Food and Agriculture staff. Applications
are from the ground and material is applied
only to citrus trees.
The materials being used (Tempo and
Merit) are highly regulated and applications are made in such a manner to minimize any impacts to bees, residents or the
environment, according to Crowders
statement.
To
additionally
verify no material
moves off the
application site,
portable air and
soil monitoring
equipment is used to
monitor each application.
Residents who think they may
hav e seen the pest are urged to call the
Pest Hotline at (800) 491-1899. Visit

Everyone loves idea of same-day

delivery, until they have to pay
By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Everyone likes the

idea of same-day delivery. But who
wants to pay for it?
Thats the problem merchants face
as the busy holiday shopping season
approaches. They want to offer customers the near-instant gratification
that usually only comes with shopping in stores or via apps like Uber
and Seamless. But the logistics and
costs of same-day delivery the fuel,
labor, infrastructure and other costs
has been a difficult challenge to surmount.
This year, Amazon has been making
an aggressive push to offer same-day
delivery to people whove paid its $99
fee for Prime loyalty club membership. That service is now available in
23 metro areas. And where Amazon
goes, other retailers must follow.
Over the past 18 to 24 months
Amazon has been pushing the bar for
fast and cheap delivery, said Daphne
Carmeli, CEO of Deliv, a startup that
works with retailers to provide sameday delivery. If youre in retail, you
have to step up to the new bar.
Amazon, of course, doesnt have to

pay for the cost of store upkeep, not
counting its new bookstore in Seattle.
And it makes money from other nonretail areas, such as its cloud computing arm, so it can afford to offer delivery services others cant.
Retailers trying to compete with
Amazon on the road Amazon created
will always be at a disadvantage,
said shipping industry expert Satish
Jindel. Theres only so long they
can absorb the cost, its a huge chal-
lenge for retailers.

Providing hassle-free, same-day
delivery has been a quixotic quest for
retailers for more than a decade.
During the first Internet boom, startups like Kozmo.com became ubiquitous in New York as employees with
purple messenger bags fanned out to
deliver snacks and household goods.
But it didnt make money, went bust,
and became a cautionary tale for the
future.
CPUC announced penalty case against PG&E

By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The California Public Utilities

Commission announced a formal procedure against PG&E that could see the
utility fined for improper communications with regulators.
CPUC officials Monday posted an
order requiring PG&E to show cause
why it should not be fined for a number
of violations it previously admitted of
ex parte communications rules. In addi-
tion, the order launches an investigation into additional allegations made

by San Bruno city officials.
San Bruno officials have called several times for just such an investigation,
most recently on Sept. 9, on the fifth
anniversary of a deadly gas pipeline
explosion that killed eight people and
destroyed dozens of homes in their city.
The city has alleged that an overly cozy
relationship between the utility and
regulators contributed to the conditions
that allowed the explosion to occur.
San Bruno City Manager Connie
Jackson said CPUC President Michael

Picker initially promised a penalty case
against PG&E for ex parte communication violations in April, when the commission announced a $1.6 billion fine
against PG&E for the pipeline explosion.
We think its both necessary and
overdue, Jackson said.
While PG&E has admitted to a number
of violations, Jackson said San Bruno
officials believe there is documentation
showing additional violations the utility has not yet acknowledged.

FBI agent cross-examined
in San Francisco Chinatown probe
SAN FRANCISCO The undercover FBI agent at the center of an organized crime investigation in San Franciscos
Chinatown testified Monday that he did
not always tell a key defendant why he
was paying him and discussed investing
in the defendants book project.
Under cross-examination for the first
time, the agent said he misspoke when
he told jurors during earlier testimony
that he always told Raymond Shrimp
Boy Chow that he was paying Chow for
Raymond Chow connecting him to other people for criminal activity. He said he had one conversation about investing in Chows book, but was never
given a manuscript.
Prosecutors say Chow took over a Chinese fraternal
group with criminal ties after having its previous leader
killed and ran a racketeering enterprise that engaged in drug
trafficking, money laundering and the sale of stolen cigarettes and alcohol. The investigation previously led to the
conviction of a state senator.
Chows attorney say the agent instigated the crimes for
which people were later arrested and forced money on Chow,
often when he was drunk. They say Chow a former gang
leader was reformed, wanted nothing to do with crime and
was looking forward to lucrative book deal about his life.
Curtis Briggs, one of Chows attorneys, said Chow
repeatedly said no when the agent offered him money.
How many times does somebody have to say no before
you dont put the envelope in their pocket, Briggs asked.
Pedestrian killed in vehicle crash on Highway 35

A pedestrian was killed in Pacifica Monday afternoon
after being pinned by a vehicle in a crash, according to
police.
Officers were dispatched to the intersection of state
Highway 35, also known as Skyline Boulevard, and
Glencourt Way on report of a crash involving a pedestrian
at 3:25 p.m.
On arrival, officers found that a male pedestrian had suffered major injuries and was pinned underneath the vehicle.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, according to
police.
Hes been identified and the next of kin has already been
notified, police said, but the victims name will not be
released due to his age.
The case remains under investigation, according to

Police hunt suspects in New Orleans park shooting

By Janet McConnaughey
and Rebecca Santana
NEW ORLEANS Police on

Monday sought to determine what
touched off a wild shootout in a crowd
of hundreds of people at a New Orleans
playground, where an evening of fun at
a block party swiftly turned into a
nightmare.
The shootout, combined with the
recent shooting of a good Samaritan
who tried to help a woman who was
being dragged toward a vehicle, put a
city that has long struggled with violence on edge.
No one feels safe, said Peter
Scharf, a Louisiana State University
professor who studies crime.

Cold, rainy and windy weather is set
to hit the Bay Area this week as people
travel for the Thanksgiving holiday,
according to the National Weather
Service.
Light rain was expected in the region
late Monday night or early Tuesday,
with rainfall amounts not likely to
exceed a half-inch, weather service
The Sunday night shootout happened as hundreds of people possibly as many as 500 gathered at the
Bunny Friend Playground in what
police described as a block party. A
music video was also being filmed
there. Police said neither event had a
permit.
Officers were nearby overseeing a
neighborhood parade when they
received reports of a large crowd at the
park. The shooting happened while
they were on their way over to disperse
the gathering. Two groups pulled out
weapons and started firing, police
said.
Local media reported a mad scramble
as terrified people ran from the playground, leaving behind cellphones and
IDs. The gunmen escaped.
Seventeen people were wounded,
including 11 who were under the age of

21, authorities said Monday.
Damien Gaines said he, his two
sons, ages 10 and 13, and their 10year-old cousin had just come home
from an athletic awards ceremony. He
decided to go to the park with the boys
when he heard music. But less than 10
minutes later, he said, an acquaintance
he knew only as Peanut strode by,
warning him to go home because of the
shootout.
Then he heard gunfire two to three
minutes of continuous shooting.
He and the boys ran. Then his
younger son said: Daddy, Im shot,
Im shot. His blue jeans had turned
red. Gaines put the boy on his back,
picked up the cousin and ran home,
where his older son had already
arrived.

Suicide vest found in Paris raises possible link to suspect

By Raf Casert
and Elaine Ganley
BRUSSELS A street cleaner

found an explosive vest similar to
those used in the Paris attacks on
Monday near the place where a suspects mobile phone had been
found, raising the possibility that
he aborted his mission, either
ditching a malfunctioning vest
or fleeing in fear.
The discovery of the vest came
as Belgiums prime minister cited
a serious and imminent threat
justifying keeping the highest
alert level operational for at least
another week. The security measures, already in place for three
days, have severely disrupted normal life in the capital.
In France, police said an explosive vest without a detonator
was found by a street cleaner in a
pile of rubble in ChatillonMontrouge, on the southern edge

Salah Abdeslam was located on the
day of the Paris attacks but the
vest has not been formally linked
to him, said two police officials
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to discuss the investigation.
Belgium-based terrorism expert
Claude Moniquet, who has been in
contact with both Belgian and
French investigators since the
attacks, laid out two possibilities:
that Abdeslam became afraid of
carrying out a suicide mission or,
more likely he says, that he simply ditched a defective explosive

Terror alert makes Brussels surreal for residents, tourists

By Maria Cheng
BRUSSELS Brussels is more

accustomed to the toing and froing of European diplomats than to
truckloads of soldiers patrolling
the streets. Its stores and markets
should be bustling in the runup to
Christmas.
But three days of the highest
terror alert and unprecedented
measures that have closed down
the citys subways, schools and

main stores, has created a very different atmosphere as the Belgian
capital tries to avoid attacks similar to the ones that caused devastating carnage in Paris.
Its fitting since Belgium is
the birthplace of surrealism but
there is an otherworldly feeling
here, said Jan Van Gent, a retired
pharmaceutical manager. This is
like a Magritte painting, to see
these soldiers in a nice town
where they dont belong.

Others werent convinced the
governments actions were anything more than a PR move.
They have a lot of attention on
them now so they have to prove
theyre doing something, but I
dont know how much difference
this will make, said Maxime

dont really know how big this

WASHINGTON The chaos and violence gripping the

Middle East are not likely to evaporate even if the forces
arrayed against the Islamic State group manage to crush the
brutal army and its drive to establish an Islamic caliphate in
Iraq and Syria and beyond.
Why?
The national structures and boundaries created by
European colonial powers after the Ottoman Empire was dismantled at the end of World War I are collapsing or already
have disintegrated. That has unleashed powerful centrifugal
forces that are melting the glue that was holding together
increasingly antagonistic religious and ethnic populations.
The mix of Muslims Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites
Christians and the big ethnic Kurdish populations in the
north of both Syria and Iraq are a stew of ancient discontent,
sectarian frustration and flagrant injustice.
Those social explosives were detonated by the upheaval
unleashed by the U.S. war in Iraq and the civil war in Syria.
The level of damage that has been done by the United
States in Iraq and the civil war in Syria is probably irreparable, said Wayne Merry, senior associate at the American
Foreign Policy Council.
In Iraq, Saddam Hussein and his fellow Sunni Muslims
a minority in that country ruled brutally over the majori-
ty Shiite Muslims. The United States removed Saddam and

eradicated his Baath Party structures, most famously the
army. Washington then oversaw the establishment of a new
government that is fundamentally controlled by the Shiites.
That new structure subsequently disregarded the needs and
rights of the Sunnis.
While the U.S. military still controlled the country, radical Sunnis came together under the banner of al-Qaida in
Iraq in a force arrayed against American forces, moderate
Sunnis and the Shiites majority. Shiite militias formed to
attack from the other side and a civil war erupted. That was
only tamped down when Washington instituted the surge of
more troops and began paying Sunni tribal leaders and
their fighters to turn their guns on fellow Sunnis in alQaida.
With the departure of U.S. forces in 2011, al-Qaida
regrouped in the Sunni regions of Iraq and became the
Islamic State group, the extremist organization that spread
as well into the void created in neighboring Syria by the
civil war there, now in its fifth year. Estimates have put IS
control of territory as high as one third of both countries.
Particularly important is the terror organizations control
over the cities like Raqqa in Syria and Mosul in Iraq.
For months, the United States has bombed IS positions
with some success and now France and Russia have joined
that effort. Russia turned its attention to IS after a bomb,
claimed by the Islamic State group, brought down a Russian
airliner over Egypt. The French reacted after the IS attacks in
Paris.
Military and intelligence experts had said, before the airliner bombing, that Russia had primarily targeted opponents of Syrian leader Bashar Assad who are not allied with
IS but deeply involved in the civil war, fighting to overthrow Assad. The Obama administration insists Assad must
be removed. Russia and Iran say he must be part of a political solution, at least temporarily. Regional powers Saudi
Arabia and Turkey want him gone.
Many analysts saw Russian involvement in Syria as an
attempt to save the Assad regime. Syria was a last outpost of
Russian influence in the Middle East, home to Russias only
Mediterranean port and a big customer for Russian weapons.

Caltrain to high-speed
rail: Go elsewhere
Editor,
Back when Caltrain and the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
rst agreed to an alliance in exchange
for Caltrain allowing the high-speed
rail project to use Caltrains right of
way, high-speed rail was to fund and
construct its own dedicated tracks. In
addition, for access to this corridor,
high-speed rail was also supposed to
fund electrication and grade separations for Caltrains existing tracks.
Under a new arrangement, highspeed rail will now share tracks with
Caltrain. No funding for grade separations of these tracks will be provided
by high-speed rail.
It is obvious that the six trains per
hour in each direction allotted to
Caltrain is not sufcient due to the
major upsurge in passenger trafc.
The Peninsula communities have
unanimously decided that four tracks
along the Peninsula is simply not
acceptable.
The shared plan on two tracks is
simply not adequate to accommodate
both Caltrain and high-speed rail.
It is time for the Peninsula communities to step up and demand Caltrain
dissolve its alliance with high-speed
rail. Caltrain needs the full passenger
carrying capacity provided by the
two-track system for its own use.

Leaving Pacifica
Editor,
I have lived in Pacica for almost
10 years now and am now relocating
to Washington state as I was ultimately pushed out due to the exorbitant
rents. I am a middle class/middleincome single person and it became
unsustainable for me to stay.
I moved three times in the last ve
years due to ongoing increases, every
time I moved I paid more but still less
than what the increase would have
been. Recently, I got notication of
an increase of 10 percent effective
Dec. 1 with a six-month lease only
meaning they can raise me again
another 10 percent or more in six
months bottom line is I could no
longer afford it and now there is
nowhere to go.
I unfortunately could not wait for
action from the City Council as I simply could no longer afford to live here
even prior to this increase. I am leaving California at end of this month
leaving my beloved Pacica where I
have lived for 10 years, leaving the
Bay Area which has been my home for
25 years, leaving my friends, my network, my life here but had little
choice on a single income.

It is so disheartening to see what is

happening to Pacica and the entire
Bay Area, it is only for the wealthy
now, the middle class is being pushed
out and communities are being
destroyed and no one seems to really
care.
I am one of the lucky few I guess
that I am able to move on not
everyone can do that. Yet it was not an
easy decision.
All I can hope for is that something
does get done even if it is too late for
me.

Acknowledging global warming

Editor,
Letter writer Scott Abramson put
words into President Obamas mouth
(in the Nov. 17 edition of the Daily
Journal) saying Obama says global
warming is the greatest threat to world
peace (not terrorism). I am glad that
Republicans are now conceding global warming is real, even though they
dont regard it as a threat. For years
they tried to deny the science.
Although sensible folks will see the
aws with Mr Abramsons trying to
guess whether the president regards
global warming or terrorism as the
greater threat, even a Republican
would agree the emphasis put on terrorism at the G20 meeting means it is
regarded by Obama and other world
powers as a major threat.
I am glad Scott is nally acknowledging that global warming is real,
having not inserted alleged into his
declaration about global warming, the
way someone with a good grasp of the
English language would have, had he
intended that sentiment.

IT issues in San Mateo Library

Editor,
Recently, the San Mateo Public
Library changed some of their IT programs. Users who had paid to print
copies via their library card(15 cents
each after the rst 3 free, daily) lost
any balance on their library cards.
Were people just supposed to print
things to use up balances?
Its hard to call this theft, so no one
has those funds. Those amounts just
disappeared. The IT people should
have either gured out a way to transfer those funds back to people,or
printed out a le to a spreadsheet/database with library card numbers in one
column, and balance in another, so
that the balances could be manually
transferred, if nothing else.
The above is almost like the pre

Hes no mastermind
Editor,
I wish the media would stop referencing Abdelhamid Abaaoud as the
mastermind of the Paris murders. It
takes no evil genius to distribute a few
Kalashnikov ries and grenades to a
handful of like-minded jerks to
slaughter innocents while they enjoy
a Friday night dinner after a hopefully
productive and meaningful workweek.
Lets be honest with ourselves and
each other and start calling him what
he really is, a piece of human excrement. Now as to the convenience of
his apparent death at the hands of the

about him, his activities and whereabouts, why didnt they act last

Terror in Paris
Editor,
Some view the terrorist attacks in
Paris as an attempt to intimidate the
French people. I see it differently. If
this was the attackers goal, they
could have attacked any city. The
ouster of the U.S.S.R. from
Afghanistan in the 1980s set the
stage for ISISs and al-Qaidas rise. If
Muslims could overcome the Soviet
Union they can overcome the United
States, especially with military bases
in Arabia the location of Islams
holiest sites.
Todays wars are religious feuds
between the Islamists in the East and
the powers of the West. I believe the
attackers in Paris are motivated by
their vision of replacing European
power with Islamic rule. This is why
ISIS struck Paris, the capital of France
and a major Western city: to prove
that they can implement attacks on
foreign soil. This is why any bid to
ally the United States with Muslim
nations like Turkey or Pakistan
should be thoroughly rejected, as
should the case of Turkey joining the
European Union.

orld-renowned writer Gustave Le Bon once said

that revolutions cannot produce real change until
an awakening has clinched the soul of the people fighting for a better society. Thus, the greatest revolutions throughout history are not merely those of violence
and destruction, but rather those that pave the way for a fundamental change of ideals and vision.
Revolutions are mirrors upon which societies can reflect
on the ideals and events that gave birth to their existence.
When carefully studied and observed, historic uprisings can
give societies a means by which to avoid grave mistakes
made by their predecessors. Above all, revolutions are awakenings within the human spirit awakenings that often
result in the birth of a new and hopeful society.
Our nation began with an awakening called the American
Revolution. The American people
collectively combated a tyrannical England regime and fought to
win their freedom. The revolution
marked the beginning of a movement that built the very foundation for our great country.
Of course, no one can forget
the civil rights movements of the
1950s and 1960s. These movements made possible the enforcement of many of the fundamental
Jonathan Madison
rights that you and I hold dear
today. Among those rights, the civil rights struggle
enforced the right to equal protection under the 14th
Amendment and the right to vote under the Voting Rights
Act.
History tells us that all revolutions have one thing in
common: prior to the revolution, devastating and lasting
events cause a deep unrest in society, prompting its citizens
to reevaluate the principles and ideals upon which the
nation rests. Ultimately, this deep reflection paves the way
for an awakening to begin. The poor fiscal policies of the
French monarchy left the working poor to starve, giving
birth to the French Revolution. The American Revolution,
in large part, was triggered by Englands relentless tax
demands. The Indian Revolution was born from several hundred years of British colonial oppression as the Indian people were denied basic human rights, such as the right to vote
and to petition the government.
As such, revolutions teach us that sometimes, travesty
can force each of us to fundamentally reevaluate our nations
principles, priorities and ideals. This reflection often allows
our awakening to commence.
Over the past several weeks, we have witnessed several
events that have forced us to consciously question our
nations highest ideals and moral standards. Our country
heard vehement cries from students in Missouri demanding a
faculty and staff that better reflects the diversity of the student body. In Washington, D.C., we witnessed my alma
mater, Howard University, receive an anonymous murder
threat suggesting that its not murder if theyre black. We
have witnessed mass fatal shootings from Oregon to Texas,
and throughout our beloved nation. Whats more, in the
wake of Veterans Day two weeks ago, we were reminded that
more than 100,000 of our brave men and women continue to
live without shelter or desperately needed medical care.
Such events should be our genesis for a new kind of revolution. I do not reference a revolution comprised of ideology, a new government regime, or extreme violence, but
rather the genesis of a fundamental awakening of our minds.
It is time for a revolution of our principles of our
minds, thoughts and highest ideals. As a nation, let us collectively renew our vows of love for all mankind. Let us set
out to care not just for our own individual races, but rather
for the human race in its entirety. Let us reaffirm our
nations promises to all who desire to make the American
Dream a reality.
We should take heed to every voice in a cry for help or
despair, regardless of their political or ethnic background.
Let us reaffirm our commitment to educate our youth with
meaningful standards that prepare individuals for the worlds
finest careers. Together, we can work to ensure that future
generations are equipped to face societys greatest challenges.
Let us reaffirm our first priority in protecting the
American people, both domestically and globally. To that
end, we must reject the means of abandoning the brave men
and women who fight to defend our nations freedoms after
their patriotic service. We must ensure that our patriots are
given the highest degree of care following their courageous
service.
In spite of our vast differences, fears and prejudices, let us
strive to make love, not fear, the driving force in our collective actions. Above all, let us forever hold high the bright
lantern of faith to light the darkest corridors of our world.
By that light, we will continue to embark along the path of
freedom.

Its a scene playing out across the country.
According to an Associated Press analysis,
airplanes spent 23 minutes and 32 seconds,
on average, taxiing between gates and runways during the first nine months of the year.
Thats the longest it has been since the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics started
tracking taxi times in 1995 and a 50-second
increase over last years average.
For passengers, the rising delays add to the
frustrations of travel. A plane might land
early but then sit waiting for a gate to open
up. Flights are still arriving on time but
only because airlines have increased scheduled flying times to account for the added taxi
times. The Delta flight made it to the gate in
San Francisco 10 minutes ahead of schedule
despite the takeoff delays.
The creep in taxi times is attributed to a
series of changes: massive runway construction projects at some of the nations busiest
airports; schedule changes that increase the
number of flights at peak hours; and new, distant runways that relieve congestion but
require more time to reach.

Warriors take aim at posting record start

By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND Anyone who thought the

Golden State Warriors would be content after
winning one NBA title was sadly mistaken.
With Stephen Curry hitting 3-pointers at
a record-setting pace and the rest of his
teammates playing with a high level of
intensity and focus, the Warriors have tied
the NBA record with 15 straight wins to
open the season.
Somehow, they have

found a way to improve
following a season when
they won 67 games and
rolled through the playoffs without ever being
taken to a seventh game.
Were trying to win
another championship,
Steph Curry forward Draymond Green
said. Thats what were
fueled by. I think weve gotten greedy, but a
good greedy. I think its way better to be

greedy for success than hungover on success. I think were on the right end of the
spectrum, which is great.
The Warriors have a chance to break the
record they currently share with the 194849 Washington Capitols and 1993-94
Houston Rockets when they host the Los
Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
After downplaying the chase of the record
at the start of the season, Golden State has
embraced it.
Now that were here and have tied the

record, its a huge accomplishment, Curry
said. You never know if youll ever be in
this position again. We have a great group
and to be able to be in position to do something that hasnt been done in the history of
the NBA with all the great teams and all the
great players who have played in this
league, thats special.

More Menlo magic

Athletes of the Week
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Menlo girls tennis head coach Bill Shine

wasnt sure he was making the right roster
move when he paired Mia McConnell and
Melissa Tran together this season.
Now, the move looks like a stroke of
genius.
McConnell and Tran proved the catalyst
for Menlos repeat as Northern California
champions this year. The Knights captured
their second straight crown Saturday with a
5-2 victory over Saratoga at the Broadstone
Racquet Club in Folsom, as Menlos No. 1
doubles team won their 27th consecutive

individual doubles match against Northern
California opponents to earn Daily Journal
Athletes of the Week honors.
With just loss early in the season at the
Golden State Classic tournament to Hawaii
state champion Punahou High School,
McConnell and Tran posted a 27-1 record
this season, running the table against
Northern California opponents.
They just got on a roll and were one of the
best doubles teams Ive ever had, Shine said.
Shine who celebrated his 20th
anniversary as Menlos coach this season
took some flak at the beginning of the
year for pairing McConnell and Tran. Last

year, as past of the lineup that also captured
a Northern California championship,
McConnell was paired with longtime friend
Sadie Bronk at No. 1 doubles, and Tran partnered with Schuyler Tilney-Volk.
The thing about Tran and Tilney-Volk is
they went undefeated on the 2014 season.
So, with the graduation of Bronk, breaking
up the band of Tran and Tilney-Volk was a
dicey move. Shine, however, felt it was the
right one.
I just said I think they can really

a 35-20 win over No. 8 Westmont and Half
Moon Bay, the No. 2 seed in the Division
V playoff, beat San Lorenzo Valley, 47-34.
PAL critics, however, will point to the

actual scores, I contend the PAL proved it
can compete with
just about any team
from any league.

in Division IV, while Lake Division
champion, Capuchino, which was the
No. 8 seed in Division V, put a scare into
top-seeded Pacic Grove, eventually losing by four (17-13).
Only Aragon and Menlo School lost by
double digits: the Dons falling to top-seeded Palma 45-24 in Open III and the Knights
going down to Scotts Valley 28-14.
A play here, a play there and the PAL
could have turned around that rst-round
record. The bottom line is, everyone wants
to feel like they have a chance at winning
a playoff game. We all know not all teams

Burlingames Milne takes MVG honors

By Terry Bernal

When Amelia Milne arrived at

Burlingame, she had no intention of
tending goal for the girls water polo
team. In fact, she didnt even know
there was such a sport as water polo.
Four years later, however, Milne has
grown into one of the Lady Panthers
most accomplished seniors. She
recorded 254 saves this season, topping her total of 230 saves as a junior
in her first season ever in the cage.
Last week, Milnes superb season

was recognized by the Peninsula

senior was named the leagues Most
Valuable Goalkeeper.
I had never heard of water polo until
my freshman year and was like, Ive
never heard of that, it sound interesting, Milne said. So Im glad I tried
out.
There havent been too many sports
Milne has come across she doesnt
like. Her main sport is softball, and
she will play her third year with the
varsity Panthers this season as the

teams shortstop. But she also has
accrued plenty of experience as both a
soccer and lacrosse player as a
goalie.
So, after spending two underclassman seasons as a field player for
Burlingames junior-varsity water
polo team, the varsity Panthers needed
a keeper. And head coach Paul Felton
immediately recognized Milne as the
solution.

Tomsula surprised by 49ers tentative play in Seattle

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim Tomsula studied

the film from the 49ers lopsided loss to the
rival Seattle Seahawks and saw a tentative
team, one trying not to make mistakes.
I got the feeling again watching the
tape, I use the term, dont play not to make
a mistake, dont tackle being afraid to miss
the tackle, be more attacking, he said. I
felt thats where our problems were. We
werent, Go get em.
The 49ers (3-7) made tackling miscues
and surrendered 508 yards and 28 first
downs in the 29-13 loss at Seattle on
Sunday. San Francisco also gave up 209
yards rushing to a little-known rookie running back named Thomas Rawls, who
shined on a day Marshawn Lynch sat out
with an abdominal injury.
I know who he is now, safety Eric Reid
said Monday.
So, not being aggressive for the typically stout San Francisco defense? Thats such
a strange phenomenon at this stage of the
season, when the team was fresh following
its bye week, and in a league that thrives on
that style of play.

Reid said when he
learned Lynch wouldnt
play, he immediately
gave the 49ers defense
an advantage. He hardly figured Rawls would
beat them. Let alone
dominate them.
We did a poor job,
Eric Reid
Reid said. It just comes
down to execution. Its plain as day to see
when you dont execute what youre supposed to do as a player, the game kind of
gets away from you. When you hear that
Marshawn is down, the immediate thought
is, We have the advantage here, so in my
own mind Im thinking we make them onedimensional.
Yet like so many other weeks this season
after all of the losses Tomsula seems
unsure how to fix all the issues on both
sides of the ball. His proposed solutions
sound familiar as little changes from week
to week.
A lot of it is in your preparation, a lot of
it is in your mindset, said the first-year
coach, who was promoted from his defen-

compliment each other, so I decided lets
try it, Shine said. I just had a feeling
they could make a pretty good doubles
team and they did pretty well. So I got
lucky.
It was a tall order for Menlo going into the
playoffs with a target on its back. Last year, the
Knights entered the NorCal tourney as the No. 5
seed, only to write the Cinderella-story finale.
This year, however, Menlo ultimately earned the
No. 1 seed.
Being the No. 1 seed for NorCals, it was definitely different from last year, McConnell
said. It was kind of this feeling of relief that we
lived up to our expectations.
Menlo cruised to a 5-2 win in the championship matchup with Saratoga High School. It
was a first for the Knights, as all four singles
players swept singles play for the first time this
season. It was a strange feeling for McConnell
and Tran who had been depended on to clinch
so many matches this season to look over
prior to a second-set serve and see their teammates celebrating around the trophy table, having already clinched the title.
I think it was a nice change for our team
because all year our doubles had been leading the
team, McConnell said. All year we didnt

sweep singles, but in this match we did.
While No. 4 single, sophomore Georgia
Anderson, clinched the title, McConnell and
Tran were facing a true test against Saratogas

win the match 7-5, 6-3, but the opening set was

Now, its a real possibility the 49ers will be

end given CEO Jed Yorks
comments that nothing
short of winning Super
Jim Tomsula Bowls is good enough
around here.
Some are questioning whether Tomsula
himself was aggressive enough in a fifth
straight loss to the Seahawks, which
dropped the Niners to 0-5 on the road this
season. He chose to punt on fourth-andeight at the 11 with 3:09 remaining and his
team trailing by 16.
Tomsula defended that decision.
You have to throw. If its 4th-and-2,
4th-and-1, weve got a little something
there. But, were 4th-and-8 on the 11 and
defensively youre going to pin your ears
back, here we come, he said. Youre
going to be under duress and its a long
conversion. So, if that doesnt happen
right there now youve got a three-score
game. There is no time. Thats quite
frankly the way I see it.

It doesnt get any easier going forward.
NFC West-leading Arizona (8-2) visits
Levis Stadium on Sunday after pounding
the 49ers 47-7 in Week 3 on a day demoted quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw four
interceptions, with two of those returned
for touchdowns.
Well, you believe in the people that you
have. That locker room there and the guys
that are in it, theres good, determined,
good football players in there, Tomsula
said. Weve just got to keep pounding
through it and get to the other side.
NOTES: DT Glenn Dorsey, hurt on San
Franciscos first defensive snap of the
game, was undergoing an MRI on his
injured right knee. It could be a season-ending injury if he tore his anterior cruciate
ligament. ... WR Anquan Boldin and DB
Jaquiski Tartt were getting treatment in the
trainers room Monday. We think theyre
going to be all right, Tomsula said. ...
With Kaepernick headed for surgery on his
non-throwing left shoulder, the team was
bringing in a quarterback for a workout.
Tomsula said that last Monday was the first
he heard of Kaepernicks shoulder pain.
I just remember serving over and over and

over, McConnell said. It felt like over five
times.
Still, McConnell and Tran dispatched
Saratoga in two sets, something theyve done
consistently all year. Only one of their victories
went to three sets all season, in their second regular-season matchup with West Bay Athletic
League rival Harker. Less than three weeks following the previous WBAL matchup between
the teams, McConnell and Tran dropped the first
set, but forged a comeback to keep their winning
streak in tact.
I think when we get down, both of us get
down, Tran said. It was a different feeling, but
we knew the team and we had already beaten
them so we knew we could reset and we could
come back.
The comeback-kids storyline was a familiar
one last season for Menlo. The Knights faced
numerous injuries and had several people quit the
team, leaving them with a sparse roster. Thats
where the nucleus of Menlos back-to-back title
was born, according to Tran, who said the team,
by virtue of its Cinderella survival story of
2014, found its identity as a team, and culminating in the programs sixth all-time NorCal
crown this season.
This year, the team was a lot bigger, Tran
said. But just the fact the team was so close and
so supportive we cheer super loudly on the
court for each other compared to other teams.
The support is just so different. I love that, just
how we encourage each other to be better.

Dodgers hire Dave Roberts to

succeed Mattingly as manager
By Beth Harris
LOS ANGELES Dave Roberts

overcame long odds during his
playing days in the major leagues
and survived a bout with cancer in
recent years. He had no managerial
experience when he went after the
vacant Los Angeles Dodgers job.
Fittingly,
the
personable
Roberts beat the odds again,
impressing the front office with
his energy, enthusiasm and knowledge to become the Dodgers first
minority manager.
Los Angeles said Monday it
plans to introduce the 43-year-old
at a news conference on Dec. 1.
When I put on this uniform as a
player, I understood the special
responsibility to honor those that
played before me as well as the
amazing bond between the Dodgers
and their fans, Roberts said in a
statement. I feel that I have now
come full circle in my career and
there is plenty of unfinished business left in LA.
He called the franchise groundbreaking for having such players
as
Jackie Robinson,
Roy
Campanella, Sandy Koufax, Maury
Wills, Fernando Valenzuela and
Hideo Nomo.
Roberts father is black and his
mother is Japanese. Roberts was
born in Okinawa, Japan, where his
father served in the U.S. Marines.
He becomes the
third minority
manager in the
majors, joining
the Washington
Nationals Dusty
Baker and the
Atlanta Braves
Fredi Gonzalez.
Roberts said
Dave Roberts
his hiring is
the opportunity of a lifetime.
The widely perceived front-runner for the job was former major
leaguer Gabe Kapler, the teams
director of player development. He
played for Tampa Bay when Andrew
Friedman, the Dodgers president of
baseball operations, was there. But
Roberts made an indelible impression during the interview process.
His energy is infectious and he
has the rare ability to make a genuine connection with every person
he comes across, Friedman said.
He has developed strong leadership qualities and accumulated a
breadth of baseball experience over
his career as both a player and
coach. He is a baseball man and
people person in the truest sense
of those words. We feel fully confident that he will effectively lead our
team in pursuit of its ultimate goal
bringing a world championship
back to the city of Los Angeles.
The Dodgers havent appeared in
the World Series since winning the
title in 1988.

Golden State in the finals last season with Cleveland. Think the
most impressive thing is the way
theyve been playing at a high
level for so long. I think it comes
with a lot of health. Theyve been
healthy. Theyve been the most
healthy team Ive ever seen in
NBA history and they have great
talent. Those guys all play for one
common goal and thats to win and
thats all that matters.
Golden State has the depth to
overcome whatever injuries the
Warriors have had. Starting center
Andrew Bogut missed six games
with a concussion, guard Klay
Thompson has been dealing with a
stiff back that forced him to miss
one game and key reserve guards
Shaun Livingston and Leandro
Barbosa have also missed time.
Golden State has also done all of
this without head coach Steve Kerr,

who has been sidelined since training camp because of complications
from offseason back surgery.
It would be more impressive if
they were doing all this without
Steph, James said. Then there
would be a conversation to talk
about.
Instead, Curry has been a driving force to the success under
interim coach Luke Walton. Curry
is on pace for a record-setting 404
3-pointers and his 490 points
through 15 games are the eighth
most in the league in the past halfcentury.
Curry and his teammates see no
reason to slow down now.
You want to keep it going and
the only way you can do that is by
staying sharp, staying focused and
bringing effort every night and
thats the mentality that we have,
Curry said. Thats the reason were

Del Rios concerns go beyond non-challenge

By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA Oakland coach Jack Del Rio

defended his decision not to challenge a play
that might have helped sustain a drive by the
Raiders sputtering offense in the second quarter of Sundays loss to the Detroit Lions.
Of more concern to Del Rio is a three-game
losing streak that has dropped his team to 4-6
and taken much of the shine off what began as
a promising season.
From a defense that has become prone to
allowing small gains to turn into backbreaking
plays, to an offense that has scored just three
touchdowns in its past 20 drives, the Raiders
have looked more like a team than has missed
MILNE
Once I saw her in the goal, I was like,
youre our goalie, Felton said. She has such
natural instincts in the cage. Its just a natural position for her.
Not that its her preference. Milne did dabble
at the position with her club team, enough to
know she preferred playing in the field.
I was kind of bummed I didnt get much a
chance to play a field position, Milne said.
But Milnes cagey instincts betrayed her
field ambitions, which not only led to a great
find for Burlingame, but may also serve her
well at the collegiate level. While Milne is
still deciding between academics and athletics,
she has Feltons seal of approval as a high-caliber college prospect.
Shes still looking at some schools,
Felton said. Shes good enough to play
Division I water polo in my mind.
Milne certainly left her mark at Burlingame,
leading the Panthers to a 6-1 league record this
season and a second-place finish in the PAL
Bay Division behind league-champion
Castilleja.
The finish should have garnered a playoff
spot, as the second-place team in the A-league
Bay Division earns an automatic berth.
However, Burlingame was penalized for submitting fraudulent paperwork to the CCS postseason committee; it was a matter of Felton
mistaking three early tournament games for
scrimmages, he said. The mistake put
Burlingame over the limit of the maximum 24
overall games allowed in CCS. The team was
therefore disqualified from the playoffs.
What happened with that whole thing, it
was really disappointing, Milne said. I
think we would have done so well in CCS.
We improved so much. A lot of that has to do
the playoffs for 12 consecutive seasons than the

team that got off to such a
quick start this season.
You are what you earn,
right? Del Rio said
Monday. We could talk
about
potential.
Potential doesnt win
Jack Del Rio games. Production wins
games. Its a bottom-line
business, its a production-based business.
We expect to be better than we were.
In two short weeks, Oakland has gone
from being one of the surprise teams in the
NFL to middle-of-the-pack territory four
games behind Denver in the AFC West and
with our coach Paul.
The unexpected finish to her senior season
made the MVG honor bittersweet, Milne said.
But it did serve as an affirmation of her decision to try a new sport as a wide-eyed freshman.
Obviously, I feel really honored, Milne
said. Water polo wasnt one of my main
sports so Im really happy about that,
being named goalie of the year. Its proved to
me Ive spent my time well.
Burlingame had two other players named to
the All-PAL first team in senior Claire
Morrison and sophomore Allison SullivanWu. Sophomore Rachel Maxwell was named to
the second team and senior Erika Taylor earned
an honorable mention.
Sullivan-Wu was the Panthers most prolific
scorer this season with 134 goals. Felton,
who previously served as head coach at St.
Ignatius for 14 years and also one season at
Menlo-Atherton, said he has never had a player surpass the 100-goal plateau in a single season.
For a sophomore to be scoring more than
100 goals in a season is really impressive,
Felton said.
Meanwhile, Milnes heir apparent as the
Bay Divisions top goalie may very well be
Woodsides Maya Srinivasan, the only freshman to be named to the All-PAL team, including the second team and honorable mention.
But Srinivasan was made a first-team selection
after producing 244 saves for the fourth-place
Wildcats.
She basically saved our season, Woodside
head coach Laura Reynolds said.
Srinivasan also earned Woodsides team
MVP honor, and was even third on the team in
assists because of her ability to cover the
length of the pool with her throwing arm. And,
according to Reynolds, the best is yet to come
for the upstart superstar.
Shes an amazing goalie, Reynolds said.
Shes going to be a top goalie as a senior.
losing ground in the chase for the second

wild-card spot.
Now the Raiders have to prepare for a road
game in Tennessee where theyve won just
once in six tries.
There are times where you hit these patches, and thats life, Raiders quarterback Derek
Carr said following the loss to the Lions.
Thats this league and thats football. But
theres no doubt in our mind what were capable of. If there was, then thered be a problem.
Figuring out whats ailing the Raiders could
take some time.
After averaging more than 26 points
through the first eight games, Oaklands
offense has managed just 27 points total in the
past two games.
Wide receiver Amari Cooper who is leading all rookies in catches and receiving
yardage has seemingly disappeared from the
game plan in recent weeks. The fourth overall
pick in the draft has only six receptions over
the past two games and caught only one of the
four thrown his way against Detroit.
Weve got to do a better job of making sure our

top playmakers are involved and coming out of
that game I feel like we didnt do a good enough
job as a staff getting him involved.
The Raiders also are uncertain whether center
Rodney Hudson will be available this week.
Hudson returned to the starting lineup against
Detroit after sitting out the previous week with
a sprained right ankle, but he left in the third
quarter after appearing to aggravate the injury.
Defensively the Raiders have bigger issues
to tackle such as tackling.
Several times Oaklands defense appeared to
have the Lions stopped for short gains, only to
see Detroit players breaking tackles, escaping
coverage and sprinting downfield.
Two of the Lions longest gains of the day
a 36-yard catch by Calvin Johnson and an 18yard reception by Joique Bell came on thirddown plays.
As for the play to wide receiver Michael
Crabtree in the second quarter, Del Rio stood
firm on his decision not to throw the red challenge flag. Crabtree caught the pass from Derek
There were some opportunities with one- Carr, got both feet inbounds then took three
on-one coverage that quite frankly we didnt steps out before the ball came out of his hand
take advantage of, Del Rio said of Cooper. near the turf.

U.S.-Canada finale
SPORTS
The World Cup-champion U.S.

womens national team will face
Costa Rica to open the eight-team
CONCACAF Olympic qualifying
tournament in February.
The United States has won the

and the Caribbean. The U.S. team
has gone on to win the gold medal
in the last three Olympics.
In addition to No. 34 Costa Rica,
the top-ranked U.S. is joined by
No. 26 Mexico and No. 115 Puerto
Rico in Group A.
Group B is led by No. 11 Canada,
No. 84 Guatemala, No. 48 Trinidad
and Tobago and No. 92 Guyana.
The event is scheduled for Feb. 1021 in Houston and Frisco, Texas.
Mondays draw sets up a possible final between the United States
and Canada. The top two finishers
earn Olympic berths.
In our group, weve got two
very familiar opponents in Costa
Rica and Mexico and well have to
be well-prepared as they are both
coming off World Cup runs and
have experienced teams, U. S.
coach Jill Ellis said in a statement.
Guyana and Puerto Rico are both
newcomers to the confederations
qualification tournament, which
debuted in 2004.
Canada, which won the bronze
medal at the 2012 Olympics in
London, is currently holding a

It appears the Colin Kaepernick era has
come to a disastrous end for the San
Francisco 49ers, after the player and team
mutually agreed to pursue shoulder surgery
on his non-throwing arm, thus ending his
2015 season.
There is no chance he comes back next
year. Its clear the relationship between Kap
and the front ofce is fractured beyond repair
and a player once seen as the savior of the
franchise has been scapegoated.
This move was made simply to prevent
someone on the 49ers going rogue and
reinserting Kaepernick back into the starting lineup. Now the coaching staff has no
option on Kaepernick. He is not available.
Next question.
This move was made to make Kaepernick
go away. Out of sight, out of mind. No more
quarterback controversy, no more Blaine
Gabbert having to look over his shoulder.
No more questions about Kaepernick. The
49ers can simply move on and play out the
string on this miserable season.
The worst thing in sports is not losing.
Its being boring and seemingly inept that
turns fans off.

It wasnt too long ago people were starting to pencil the Oakland Raiders into the

It should come as no surprise the Raiders

schedule and, based on reputation alone,
determine winners and losers.
Many looked at a two-win Detroit team as
primed for a Raiders victory. For a team used
to winning, that would be the case. Sure
Oakland had a better-than-decent chance to
beat the Lions, but the Raiders need to play a
nearly perfect game every week to win. If
they are just a little bit off, you get an 18-13
loss to Detroit.
Oakland is still not talented enough to win
on talent alone. The Raiders need to bring
their A game every week and, when they
dont, their C game is not good enough.
Successful NFL teams are those that can nd

tip-top best, their second-best is still plenty
good.
Oakland isnt quite there yet.

Using new gene drive to create malaria-resistant mosquitoes

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON California researchers

hatched some malaria-resistant mosquitoes
and then gave evolution a shove using a
groundbreaking technology to ensure the
insects pass on that protective gene as they
reproduce, with implications far beyond the
promise of fighting malaria.
The experiment reported Monday involves
whats called a gene drive, a technique that,
if it pans out, promises to alter the genetics
of populations of insects and certain plants
and animals faster than Mother Nature could.
Normally, genes have a 50-50 chance of
being inherited. University of California
researchers created a strain of mosquitoes that
could pass a specially engineered malariablocking gene to about 99 percent of their
offspring.
The mutant mosquitoes, kept in a secured
lab, highlight the promise of this technology along with questions about when and how
it might be safe to try it in the wild.
This is a major advance because it shows
that gene drive interventions will likely be
effective in mosquito vectors of disease,

said biologist Kevin Esvelt of Harvards
Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired
Engineering, a gene drive researcher who
wasnt involved with the newest study.
But because no one knows how such rapid
genetic change might impact habitats,
Esvelt has urged the public to weigh in. The
California study published online in
Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences adds some urgency.
This work suggests that were a hop, skip
and jump away from actual gene drive candidates for eventual release in nature, he said.
Malaria kills more than half a million people a year, mostly children in Africa, and
sickens about 200 million more. Mosquitoes
pick up the parasite by biting an infected person, and spread it when they bite someone
else. Mosquito-killing insecticides and bed
nets are the main protection.
At the University of California-Irvine,
molecular biologist Anthony James is developing what he calls sustainable technologies rather than killing mosquitoes,
instead rendering them unable to infect peo- Malaria kills more than half a million people a year, mostly children in Africa, and sickens about

transient occupancy tax took the biggest
leap.
The fund fed by fees issued each time a visitor stays overnight in one of South San
Franciscos hotels generated $12.9 million
in revenue for the citys general fund, which
is nearly $1.5 million more than the amount
expected in the citys amended budget.
Hikes in hotel tax revenue are attributed to
the record number of people using San
Francisco International Airport for travel,
according to the report, as 47 million passengers passed through flight gates in 2014,
breaking the record set in the previous year.
The surge of airport travelers continues a
growth trend which shows flight traffic has
increased annually by an average of 4.4 percent since 2007, according to the report.
Beyond spikes in hotel tax revenue, fees

said. Economically we are very healthy, and
it is a good thing.
Local businesses performed better than
projected too, according to the report, as
sales tax revenue totaled $11.2 million,
which is $317,000 more than was budgeted.
Growth reflects robust activity in the
retail business, business to business and
food products sectors, said the report.
As business thrives in South San
Francisco, more companies are inclined to
join the city, evidenced through the hike in
the revenue generated by business licenses
and building permits, which generated $4.8
million beating the projected amount by
$1 million.
Much of the license and permit money
comes from continued development in the
area of South San Francisco east of Highway
101, where a majority of the citys prized
biotechnology cluster is headquartered,
according to the report.

The city also took in $31,000 in fees
required to be paid by developers to a fund
designated for construction of affordable
housing, which grew the pot to $1.6 million, according to the report.
South San Francisco officials have recently discussed developing affordable housing
on property owned by the city just east of
Highway 101, while keeping a keen eye on
ensuring there will be no encroachment on
the biotechnology industry.
Following the trend of tax revenue growth
throughout the city, property taxes contributed $15.8 million to the general fund,
roughly $228,000 more than was budgeted.
The economic outlook is brightened further by general fund spending being down by
$3.9 million from what was expected, due to
savings in salary and supply expenditures
across most departments, according to the
report.
Spending was down 5.1 percent from what
was approved in the amended budget, as
$80.4 million was drawn from the general
fund during the 2014-15 fiscal year, which
ended June 30.
The city has about $17 million in reserves,

and officials recommended adding some of
the surplus revenue to an infrastructure
reserve fund which pays toward addressing
capital improvements.
On Election Day, voters in South San
Francisco approved Measure W, instituting a
half-cent sales tax which is expected to generate about $200 million over the next 30
years to fund infrastructure improvements
and address fixes deferred during the Great
Recession.
Garbarino noted though the city is enjoying an economic boom of sorts, it is imperative officials remain fiscally responsible.
He said the council will work with city staff
to identify areas which need to be addressed
over coming weeks and months, with an eye
toward capitalizing on the opportunity to
improve the quality of life in South San
Francisco.
We are going to prioritize what needs to
be done, and then maybe later on down the
road, start picking up things we want to do,
he said. Just because we have a few dollars in
the kitty, we are not going to go on a spending spree.
session is not sufficient on such complex

topics.
This summer, changes to the Zoning and
Tree ordinances sparked a citizens referendum and the City Council responded by
recalling the amendments while initiating a
new public outreach process earlier this year.
There was a large turnout at the workshop
where staff gave a brief presentation then
attendees split into groups to generate and
provide feedback on the regulations concerning maximum home sizes, secondary units,
parking requirements, design criteria and
removal as well as planting of trees.
Although the proposed changes have
served as a point of contention amongst the
group Ask Belmont Citizens and the council,
several attendees said they were impressed by
the general cordiality amongst residents
with varying opinions.
I was incredibly pleased with the level of
engagement and the number of people who
attended, said Councilman Charles Stone. I
was heartened to see people with different
viewpoints working well together and I hope

that remains a theme as we continue down
this road.
Although the city initially scheduled just
one workshop before the Planning
Commission and City Council host public
hearings on the ordinances next year, a second wrap up workshop is proposed for
December.
Chamberlin said hes generally in favor of
whats been proposed and thinks reasonable
changes allowing residents to improve their
properties is a benefit to individual families
as well as the city as a whole. There appeared
to be broad and general support for the
changes that would help alleviate Belmonts
strict and seemingly arbitrary rules,
Chamberlin said.
Concerned the opinions of those in the
active ABC group werent representative of
himself or his neighbors, Chamberlin said
he attended the meeting and plans to stay
involved.
Tran said many didnt have a chance to consider the array of proposed amendments during the short workshop and more discussion
is needed. She also noted Redwood City
recently adopted changes to its secondary
unit ordinance after a yearlong process on
the one topic alone.
Prior to the meeting, ABC representatives

sent a list of questions and request for data
regarding the need and impacts of such
changes to city staff. Tran said the citizens
group would like a more objective process
that includes a review of the data.
Since the ordinances became controversial, one aspect in which both sides appear
to agree is whether citizens truly understand
the nature of the complex zoning codes. The
workshop was intended not only as an
opportunity for people to provide feedback,
but also as a means for people to learn about
the codes.
Tuesday drew a crowd much larger than
some expected and city staff had to set up
overflow rooms for additional residents to
participate.
Stone, who served on the council subcommittee along with Vice Mayor Eric Reed to
help draft the amendments, said he was glad
to see the community getting involved.
I was also incredibly pleased that there
was some consensus that the community
thinks theres a need for change, Stone said,
adding he appreciated the great attendance
and the cordiality.
Comments generated from the workshop
will eventually be posted on the citys project website at belmont.gov/remodel.

Premium increases foreseen for Medicare drug plan

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON With time running out

on open enrollment season, many seniors
are facing sharply higher premiums for
Medicares popular prescription drug program. The reason: rising drug costs have
overtaken a long stretch of stable premiums.
Beneficiaries have until Dec. 7 to see if
theres a lower-cost plan that will cover
their medications in 2016. Consumer advocates and experts say it will pay to shop
around this sign-up season.
Premiums are going up. Deductibles are
going up, said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare
expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation. There is some potential to
save a lot of money by switching plans.
Government spending on the program
also has risen significantly, driven by
pricey new drugs, notably for hepatitis C
infection. The cost for the hepatitis drugs in
the Medicare program is expected to be $9.2
billion this year, nearly doubling from
2014. Because of the prescription programs financial structure, taxpayers cover
most of the cost for expensive medications.
Three out of four adults infected with hepatitis C are baby boomers, the group now
entering Medicare.
Also known as Part D, Medicares prescription plan serves about 40 million
older and disabled people. Benefits are provided through a variety of insurance
arrangements. Stand-alone drug plans that
work with traditional Medicare are the most
popular, accounting for more than half of
beneficiaries about 24 million people.
Sal Natale, a retired dentist who lives near
Tampa, Florida, said prescription premiums
for him and his wife are going up about 30
percent next year, and he doesnt see a good
alternative.
Im just going to grin and bear and hope
it starts moderating, Natale said. The couple is signed up in the Humana Enhanced
plan, one of the top 10. Nationally, premiums for that plan are going up by about $13
a month, according to the Kaiser foundation.
Indicators signal rising costs across the
program. Among them:
Independent estimates by Kaiser and the
consulting firm Avalere Health show
increasing premiums for stand-alone drug
plans. The average premium will rise from
$36.68 to $41.46 per month next year, or
13 percent, according to Kaiser. Even if
many beneficiaries switch to lower-cost
options, its likely to be the biggest
Nationally, average premiums are going up by more than 15 percent in five of the top eight plans, according to the Kaiser study. Two plans
will see single-digit increases. One plan SilverScript Choice will see a small reduction. The most popular plan AARP MedicareRx
Preferred will go up from $50.19 to $60.79, a 21 percent increase.
increase since 2009.
The maximum deductible for prescription coverage will rise by $40, to $360.
Thats the biggest increase in the deductible
since the inception of Part D in 2006. The
deductible is the amount of drug costs that
beneficiaries must pay each year before
their insurance kicks in.
Taxpayer expenditures for the catastrophic portion of the benefit in which
beneficiaries with high drug bills pay only
5 percent of the cost will rise by $4.5
billion in 2016, an increase of more than
14 percent. Spending for catastrophic coverage has doubled in just a short time, from
$15.5 billion in 2012 to an estimated
$31.2 billion this year.
The analyses from Kaiser and Avalere are
seemingly at odds with the message coming
from the Obama administration, which estimates that drug premiums will remain stable
in 2016, averaging $32.50 a month.
But the administration and the independent analysts measure differently. For example, the administration adjusts its number
for the estimated impact of people assumed
to be switching to lower-premium plans.

The outside analysts dont make similar

assumptions. Instead, they focus on whats
happening to premiums in the plans for
which people are currently signed up.
Nationally, average premiums are going
up by more than 15 percent in five of the
top eight plans, according to the Kaiser
study. Two plans will see single-digit
increases. One plan SilverScript Choice
will see a small reduction. The most popular plan AARP MedicareRx Preferred
will go up from $50.19 to $60.79, a 21 percent increase.
Sean Cavanaugh, deputy administrator at
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services, said the administration has a good
track record with its estimates. We do
think ours is more illustrative of what beneficiaries actually experience, he said.
Cavanaugh did say the administration is
concerned about the cost of new breakthrough drugs. The insurers who deliver
Medicares prescription benefit have limited options for bargaining down the prices
of those medications, because usually
theres no competing alternative.
The challenge in the Part D program is
around high-cost specialty drugs, said
Cavanaugh. We certainly have to be concerned about anything thats driving that
much cost in our program.
With polls showing that drug costs are
the top health care issue for the public,
presidential candidates are weighing in.
Options they propose range from giving
Medicare direct authority to negotiate drug
prices, backed by Democrat Hillary
Rodham Clinton, to speeding up approval
of new drugs, advanced by Republican Jeb
Bush.

CAMERAS
ramp from Highway 101, according to
camera
watchdog
website
HighwayRobbery.net.
While acknowledging the concerns
of residents and drivers who claim the
$500 fine is too burdensome for tickets
frequently issued to those taking right
turns at a red light, which is a relatively common maneuver, officials claim
the tickets help maintain safety on
Millbrae roads.
I can completely understand why
people get upset about getting a ticket, said Councilman Wayne Lee. But
thats the reason why you have safety
cameras: so people know they have
someone watching.
Lee said he believes officials are
obligated to ensure the safety of residents before adhering to complaints of
those who do not agree with the ticket
system.
Being an elected official, I dont
want a death on my conscience because
I wanted to create a convenience, he
said.
Lee said though he would like to see
further evidence that the cameras do
make Millbrae a safer place to live and
drive before he gives his consent to
approving the contract proposal.
It has to provide a beneficial safety
to the city and its travelers, he said.
If it doesnt, then we dont need it.
The cameras provide a traffic surveil-
RAIL
and right-of-way phases, according to
the report.
In total, the city will likely spend
about $12 million on both planning
and construction phases of the project
while seeking $84 million from the
High-Speed Rail Authority and $65
million from the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority. Its also
seeking $10 million from the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission which has rated the
25th Avenue project as one of the top
10 priority grade separations in the
state.
The Peninsula Joint Powers Board,
which oversees Caltrain, and the San
Mateo
County
Transportation
Authority, which divvies out money
from the countys half-cent Measure A
transportation sales tax, are collaborating with the city to support the project.
This is something [San Mateo has]
wanted and we certainly support that
because its really the safest way to
operate a railroad. Theres less inci-
lance service which would not otherwise be possible, according to a city

report, because the citys law enforcement system does not have adequate
officers or resources to constantly
patrol driver behavior at main intersections.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office provides law enforcement services to Millbrae, as the city no longer
has its own police department.
Members of the San Mateo Police
Department review each ticket issued
by the cameras to confirm their legitimacy, under an agreement between the
two cities.
According to the report, 96 percent
of the citations issued by the red light
cameras are upheld in court.
There are more drivers on the road in
Millbrae than in years past, accounting
for the recent uptick in tickets issued,
according to the report, but there are
fewer accidents which illustrates the
effectiveness of the camera system.
The level of awareness associated
with the automated enforcement program has contributed to the low frequency of collisions at these intersections, according to the report.
Under the terms of the proposed contract worth roughly $1.11 million, the
city will pay $453,180 for the first
year of the program, and that amount
will drop to $352,380 for the subsequent two years. There is also a clause
which allows for an additional two-year
extension, should officials approve it,
at the end of the three-year deal. The
fees for processing potential violations cost an additional $62,700 last
year, which was covered by the amount

of fines collected.
Lee said the city does not make additional revenue from the money collected through tickets.
The San Mateo City Council recently
postponed making a decision on
whether to extend its contract with
Redflex Traffic Systems, the company
which operates the citys red light cameras, in the wake of having to refund
1,000 tickets for failing to comply
with new state laws.
Millbrae Public Works Director Peter
Vorametsanti has said he believes the
citys cameras are working properly,
and they have been calibrated to
account for recent changes in state law
which increased the timing of yellow
lights from 3.2 seconds to 3.7 seconds,
and was the source of the tickets in San
Mateo being thrown out.
Lee said the frustrations of drivers and
residents with red light cameras, as well
as the recent decision of some cities to
remove the devices will influence the
conversation during the upcoming
meeting.
We should always make sure it is
fair, he said. I think it should be discussed.
But he noted the cameras only issue
tickets to those who are not obeying
traffic laws.
I dont like them either. I got a ticket, but it modified my behavior, he
said. If you drive cautiously, you are
not going to get a ticket.
The Millbrae City Council meets
Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 7 p.m. in council
chambers, 621 Magnolia Ave.
dents, said Caltrain spokeswoman

Tasha Bartholomew. We are definitely
working closely with them to make it
happen.
The JPB has expertise managing this
type of construction that will likely
involve a shoofly method.
Fortunately, there should be enough
Caltrain right-of-way allowing the
tracks to be detoured immediately nearby to reduce construction impacts on
commuter
operations,
said
Bartholomew and Patterson.
While the city is still awaiting word
on whether the CPUC and High-Speed
Rail Authority would allocate money
toward the project, it seeks to abide by
a strict schedule to coordinate with
Caltrain electrification. Additional
costs could be incurred if grade separation isnt completed before the overhead electrical contact system is
installed, according to the report.
The project not only falls in line
with the citys Rail Corridor Plan,
which promotes transit-oriented developments, it would also support two
other grade separations to the north
and south.
The city has sought to complete eastwest crossings at 28th and 31st
avenues, two streets currently segmented by the Caltrain tracks, accord-
ing to the report.

These grade separations are called for
in other city transit plans seeking to
connect the massive Bay Meadows
development to the Hillsdale Caltrain
Station which would be relocated
further north between 28th and 31st
avenues.
Freeing up these two streets and
reducing gate downtimes at 28th
Avenue could also alleviate congestion
along Hillsdale Boulevard, Patterson
said.
This project was envisioned from
the very beginning of the Rail Corridor
study so its been an integral part of
what was desired and expected within
the corridor, Patterson said. What
weve done in terms of our transit-oriented development has bee around that
[project] and the rail system.
Lim agreed the city as a whole and his
predecessors on the council were wise
in planning for projects such the 160acre Bay Meadows residential, retail
and office space development as well as
the 25th Avenue grade separation.
Our city is growing in good, positive ways. I think its a testament to
our city, both the City Council and our
neighbors, that we have been a forward
thinking community, Lim said. We
want to grow smart and responsibly.

Children will play a role in a decision you make.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lessen your anxiety by
tackling projects you can work on by yourself. Trying to
get along with others will add to your stress.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You need a change, but
making some residential improvements could be costly

if you dont get estimates up front. Make sure you get
everything in writing or your savings will be depleted.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Standing on
the sidelines will not get you ahead. If you let
everyone know that you are willing to accept
greater responsibility, offers will come your way.
Love is highlighted.

Cameron pledges to outline strategy against IS this week

By Danica Kirka
LONDON British Prime Minister David

Cameron will begin to lay out his case this
week for the Royal Air Force to start hitting
Islamic State targets in Syria, something he
has been eager to do but feared being
blocked by Parliament.
Speaking in Paris on Monday after meeting French President Francois Hollande,
Cameron said the two leaders agreed to
increase counterterrorism cooperation. He
called for greater European Union-wide
efforts to share intelligence to stop extremists and offered the use of the air base at
Akrotiri on Cyprus for actions in Syria
against the Islamic State group.
The United Kingdom will do all in our
power to support our friend and ally France
to defeat this evil death cult, he said.
The RAF is already participating in
airstrikes in Iraq. Cameron lost a vote in
Parliament two years ago to allow attacks

on Syria, and has been reluctant to even
suggest another until he could be certain to
win.
But the mood in Parliament since then has
changed, and the previous vote was directed
at Bashar Assads government to deter the
use of chemical weapons not at Islamic
State group militants.
The attacks in Paris, the bombing of a
Russian jetliner and the shootings of
British tourists in Tunisia have brought the
threat of the Islamic State group close to
home. The vote in the U. N. Security
Council calling for action against the group
may also sway the undecided.
Labours spokeswoman on defense
issues, Maria Eagle, told the BBC on
Monday that even the partys leader, Jeremy
Corbyn who is known for his anti-war
REUTERS
stance in general may vote in favor.
My understanding is he is not a pacifist Britains Prime Minister David Cameron, third left, chats with Group Captain David Manning,
and that means that it is conceivable, second left, as they walk past a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter, and a Royal Navy Wildcat
multi-role helicopter, at RAF Northolt in London, Britain.
Eagle said.
