The start of the annual King Tides

San Mateo County is most vulnerable
to sea level rise.
King Tides, which occur when the
sun and moon align creating a more
powerful gravitational pull, were
reported to have washed much further
ashore along the coast and in parts of
the San Francisco Bay.

A RECORD-BREAKING WIN

Fishery stunted by hazardous toxin,

Golden States Steph Curry drives past Los Angeles Kobe Bryant during the Warriors 34-point win over the
Lakers. The win was the 16th straight to open the season for the Warriors a new record. See story p. 11.

As commercial crabbers across


the state anxiously await word on
whether a hazardous toxin could
halt the industry that reels in $60
million annually, lawmakers are
calling on Gov. Jerry Brown to
consider calling this years fishery a disaster and assist the fishermen whose livelihoods depend on
a prosperous season.
As dozens of fishermen out of
Pillar Point Harbor have already

been shaken by several years of


lousy salmon seasons at the hands
of Californias long-standing
drought, many were relying on
commercial crab season that was

Chancellor found buying alcohol with district funds


San Mateo County Community College District defends official identified in report questioning his spending

Ron Galatolo, chancellor of the

of dollars from a district expense
fund on alcohol during meals

according to a

report
from
NBC Bay Area.
The
NBC
report suggested
Galatolo
violated district
policy by using
public funds to

purchase alcohol, but a response


from district officials indicated
Galatolo was acting within his
rights and responsibilities as
leader of the school district comprised of Skyline and Caada colleges and the College of San
Mateo.
During dinners with school colleagues and fellow educators at

conferences in Las Vegas and student recruiting trips to Vietnam,


Galatolo racked up hundreds of
dollars worth of alcohol purchases
during dinners costing the district
more than $1,000.
And though the NBC report indicated such behavior was a violation of the district policy on conference and travel expenses, dis-

trict
spokeswoman
Barbara
Christensen disagreed through a
prepared statement.
As part of the activities necessary to perform his job, the district chancellor may need to host

Man ejected from football game

The man traveled from Los Angeles

City approves chain store limits


San Carlos council votes to add layer of review downtown
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Chain stores in San Carlos will be


required to go through an extra level of
review if they want to set up shop downtown as the City Council unanimously
approved an urgency ordinance at its
Monday night meeting.
Chain stores will be required to get a conditional use permit over the next 45 days as
city staff seeks to craft permanent zoning
changes.
The idea comes from Vice Mayor
Cameron Johnson, who wants to preserve
historic downtown cores current charm and
mix of locally owned businesses.
Councilman Mark Olbert, however, said
the move could set the stage in the future to
block businesses San Carlos residents may
like.
He voted for the urgency ordinance, however, as did the rest of council.

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
An extra level of review may have prevented many chain stores from operating
downtown that residents fully support,
Olbert said.
There is concern that a recently bought
building at 652 Laurel St. by JMS
Development Partners may be overrun by
chain stores.
The current tenants, including Plantation
Coffee Roastery, First Impressions salon
and Mi Ranchita restaurant, have been
given 90-day notices to vacate so that the
building can be renovated.
Jamba Juice is rumored to be interested in
leasing space in the building.
Jamba Juice is a business that an awful
number of people like and thats why its

successful, Olbert said Tuesday.


He supports the idea of studying the issue
but didnt think an urgency ordinance was
necessary.
I dont think this was personally the
right thing to do, he said.
Monday night, Johnson said it was not
an emergency but rather an effort to be
proactive, according to a video of the meeting.
With rents going up and new ownership
of some commercial buildings downtown,
there is speculation that chain stores may
proliferate in the area.
The booming economy and increased
development interest can lead to the displacement of small businesses, Johnson
said last week. It would be a shame to lose
the character of downtown by having Laurel
Street become a series of chain stores you
can find anywhere else.
A conditional use permit would require a
public hearing so residents can weigh in on
whether a chain store is appropriate for
downtown.
Currently, there are 22 storefronts in
downtown occupied by chain stores, or
formula businesses, and 11 storefronts
that have multiple locations in the region.
In other council news, City Hall Dog Park
hours were also modified at the Monday
night meeting. The new hours of operation
will be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through
Fridays. On Saturdays, the park will be
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be closed
on Sundays and holidays.

Consumer confidence falls hard in November


By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Confidence in the


economy eroded this month as
Americans became more worried about
the job market.
A business research group said
Tuesday that its consumer confidence
index fell to 90.4 in November, down
from 99.1 in October. The index is at its
lowest level since September 2014.
The share of Americans surveyed by
the Conference Board anticipating more
jobs in the coming months fell. Fewer
people also expect to see their incomes
increase. The percentage describing
jobs as plentiful declined to 19.9 percent from 22.7 percent.
The decline in the confidence index
comes after a robust month of hiring in
October. Employers added 271,000 jobs
last month as the unemployment rate
settled at a healthy 5 percent, an indica-

Novembers results could be sending a cautionary


signal about the key economic variable of job growth.
Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at the consultancy MFR

tion that companies see the economy as


continuing its gradual, six-year expansion from the depths of the recession.
The drop in consumer confidence was
a curveball for many economists, some
of whom warned that the population
might be reflecting concerns about hiring momentum while others could not
reconcile the survey with other indicators hinting at a resilient U.S. economy.
Novembers results could be sending
a cautionary signal about the key economic variable of job growth, said
Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at
the consultancy MFR.
Still, the decline conflicts with what
practically every other gauge of consumer attitudes (and labor market condi-

tions) is showing right now, said


Stephen Stanley, chief economist at
Amherst Pierpont Securities.
The economy has strengthened by
many measures over the past month.
Hiring averaged just 145,000 in
September and August, as the weight of
Chinas slowing economy has damaged
growth prospects worldwide, the dollar
has risen in value and oil prices remain
low amid relatively weak demand.
U.S. economic growth appears to
have improved slightly after slowing in
the July-September quarter. The economy expanded at an annual rate of 2.1
percent in those months, up from an initial estimate of 1.9 percent but down
from growth of 3.9 percent in the prior
quarter.

Boy, 17, killed while walking
home from school identified
A 17-year-old pedestrian killed when he was hit by an SUV
in Pacifica as he walked home from school on Monday was
identified as Joshua Delacruz Salas, according to the San
Mateo County Coroners Office.
The SUV hit Salas in a crosswalk on state Highway 35,
also known as Skyline Boulevard, near the intersection with
Glencourt Way at 3:25 p.m., police said.
The SUV driver made a left turn onto Skyline from King
Drive and didnt see Salas in the crosswalk, Pacifica police
Capt. Joe Spanheimer said Tuesday.
Salas was pinned under the SUV and died at the scene.
The SUV driver, a man in his mid 30s, stayed at the scene
and cooperated with the investigation, Spanheimer said.
There was no indication he had been drinking or doing
drugs.
The boys mother tried to find him when he didnt arrive
home on time and encountered police at the collision scene.
Its just tragic, Spanheimer said.
The road was shut down for hours while police investigated the case. The road reopened by about 9 p.m., according to
police.

Two wanted for attempted robbery


San Mateo police are on the lookout for two men who tried
to rob at gunpoint the Safeway on the 1600 block of South
El Camino Real last Wednesday night.
At about 9:30 p.m., a female employee
walked to the managers office where she
was detained by two men and held at gunpoint. The men ordered her to open the
safe but she said she did not know the
combination. The men exited the store
without stealing anything at about 9:40
p.m. after learning that no one at the
store at the time knew the combination,
according to police.
The first man was described as white, in
his mid to late 30s, wearing a costume
mask of an elderly white male. He was
about 5 feet 6 inches, had a deep voice,
and wore a dark jacket, dark pants and
black leather gloves. The second man
was described as white, in his mid to late
20s, thin, 5 feet 9 inches, and wearing a
black beanie, black sunglasses and black
jacket. Police determined that the second man was likely in
the store on Nov. 11 and are seeking witnesses.

U.S. traffic deaths rise

An

million
Americans are expected to take a car,
plane, bus or train at least 50 miles
from home over the long holiday
weekend, according to the motoring
organization AAA. That would be an
increase of more than 300,000 people

Among the reasons given for the

Tips to survive Thanksgiving flying


DELAYS
At the first sign of a serious mechanical problem,
call the airline to have it protect you on the next
flight out. That way if the problem leads to a
cancellation, you are already confirmed on a new
flight and can just print a new boarding pass.
If you miss your flight connection or bad
weather causes delays get in line to speak to a
customer service representative. But also call the
airline directly. If the phone lines are jammed, try the
airlines overseas numbers. Youll pay long-distance
rates, but might not have to wait. (Add those
numbers to your phone now.) Finally, consider
sending a tweet to the airline.
There are more to airline lounges than free drinks
and lights snacks. The real secret to the lounges is
that the airline staffs them with some of its best
and friendliest ticket agents. The lines are shorter
and these agents are magically able to find empty
seats. So consider buying a one-day pass. It typically
costs $50 but discounts can sometimes be found in
advance online.
If weather causes cancellations, use apps like
HotelTonight and Priceline to find last-minute hotel
discounts for that night. Warning: Many of the rooms
are nonrefundable when booked, so lock in only
once stuck.
LUGGAGE
Weigh it at home first. Anything over 50 pounds (40
pounds on some airlines such as Spirit) will generate
a hefty overweight surcharge, in addition to the
checked bag fee.
Before your bag disappears behind the ticket
counter, make sure the airlines tag has your name,

recent attacks in Paris, West Africa


and elsewhere prompted the State
Department to warn American travelers about the risks overseas.
On Tuesday, the head of the
Transportation
Security
Administration, Peter Neffenger,
boasted that the U.S. has the worlds
best aviation security and assured the
public that TSA is taking every

flight number and final destination. Save that sticker


they give you it has a bag-tracking number on it.
Place a copy of your flight itinerary inside your
suitcase with your cellphone number and the name
of your hotel in case the tag is ripped off.
If you cant live without it, dont check it. It might
take days to return a lost bag. Dont pack medication
or outfits for tomorrows meeting or wedding. Never
check valuables such as jewelry or electronics.
8 Prepare your carry-on bag as if it will be checked.
You might not have planned to check your bag, but
given todays crowded overhead bins many fliers
dont have a choice. Pack a small canvas bag inside
your carry-on so if you are forced to check it, you can
at least keep your valuables with you.
SEATS
Set up alerts for seat openings. ExpertFlyer.com
offers free notifications when a window or aisle seat
becomes vacant. For 99 cents, it sends an email if two
adjacent seats become available. The service is
available for Alaska Airlines, American Airlines,
JetBlue Airways, United Airlines and Virgin America
but not for Delta Air Lines and some smaller carriers.
Check the airlines website five days before the trip.
Thats when some elite fliers are upgraded to first
class, freeing up their coach seats. Another wave of
upgrades occurs every 24 to 48 hours.
Check in 24 hours in advance when airlines start
releasing more seats. If connecting, see if seats have
opened up 24 hours before the second flight
departs.
Keep looking for new seats. Even after checking in,
seats can be changed at airport kiosks and on some
airlines mobile applications.

WASHINGTON Vice President Joe Biden is adding


Rome, Italy to his European trip over the U.S. holiday
weekend.
Biden will meet Friday with Italian
prime minister Matteo Renzi. He will
also meet with a Vatican official.
Administration officials previously
announced that Biden will travel to
Croatia Wednesday and meet with the
Slovenian president and president and
prime minister of Croatia. Biden is
expected to discuss the response to the
Joe Biden
refugee crisis, energy and economic ties
between the countries.
Bidens trip comes amid ongoing tensions over an influx
of migrants flooding into Europe.
He will also meet in Croatia with European Council
President Donald Tusk to discuss the migration crisis, the
fight against terrorism and other issues.
Those meetings will occur on the sidelines of a summit
with Southeast European leaders.

Thanksgiving travel: Cheap

VP Biden adds stop in Rome, Italy to European trip

Burlingame Ave

An estimated 46.9 million Americans are expected to take a car, plane, bus or train at least 50 miles from home over the long
holiday weekend, according to the motoring organization AAA.

DETROIT After declining for most of the past decade,


traffic deaths spiked 8 percent in the first half of this year,
prompting a call from the nations highway safety chief to
find ways to reduce the human errors that cause most fatalities.
The new estimate released Tuesday by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes just as millions of Americans prepare to hit the road for the
Thanksgiving holiday. AAA predicts that 42 million people will drive 50 miles or more over the coming weekend.
Officials released a final number of fatal crashes for 2014,
which showed a decline of 0.1 percent. This year, lower gas
prices and an improving economy are prompting people to
travel more. Americans drove 1.54 trillion miles in the first
half of 2015, up 3.5 percent from the same period in 2014,
according to the Federal Highway Administration.
But NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said that not all
of the increase could be attributed to people driving more
miles. He suspects that texting and other distractions while
using smartphones was part of the cause, as well as drunken, drugged and drowsy driving, and increased driving by
teenagers. NHTSA, he said, doesnt have clear enough data
yet to pinpoint exact causes.

GOP sets Senate push against


health law, Planned Parenthood
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Congressional
Republicans hope a post-Thanksgiving
drive to obliterate President Barack Obamas
health care law and block Planned
Parenthoods federal funds will spotlight
their fierce support for top-tier conservative
causes. The certain veto waiting at the
White House will only help them sharpen
their stance for voters, they say.
Yet even as GOP leaders express optimism
that theyll push the bill through the
Senate, the run-up to the debate reveals the
tightrope they face to win the needed votes.
It also features the rare spectacle of prominent anti-abortion groups publicly pressuring two of their normally stalwart supporters who are battling for the Republican presidential nomination.
Since the health overhaul became law in
2010, lawmakers have had dozens of votes,
mostly in the House, on GOP efforts to scuttle all or part of it. With Republicans controlling Congress this year, each chamber

has voted to halt the $450 million in annual federal payments to Planned Parenthood,
the partys reaction to the groups role providing fetal tissue for research.
Democrats mock the repeated votes as
time-wasting political posturing. But
Republicans say theres value in forcing
Obama to veto legislation crippling the
health law and stopping Planned
Parenthoods federal dollars.
With the 2016 elections approaching,
they say a veto would underscore that electing a Republican president and keeping
GOP control of Congress would put both
goals within reach.
Aggressively confronting Obama could
also shield incumbent Republicans against
the complaints of anti-establishment conservative voters who grumble that GOP lawmakers have been too submissive to the
president.
Its taking this a step further, pushing
the ball down the field further than weve
been able to do in the past, said Sen. John
Thune, R-S.D., a member of Senate GOP
leadership.

Turkey shoots down Russian jet it says violated its airspace


By Jim Heintz and Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Turkey shot down a Russian


warplane on Tuesday that it said ignored
repeated warnings and crossed into its airspace from Syria, killing at least one of the
two pilots in a long-feared escalation in
tensions between Russia and NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced
what he called a stab in the back and
warned of significant consequences.
The shoot down the first time in half a
century that a NATO member has downed a
Russian plane prompted an emergency
meeting of the alliance. The incident highlighted the chaotic complexity of Syrias
civil war, where multiple groups with clashing alliances are fighting on the ground and
the sky is crowded with aircraft bombing
various targets.
As we have repeatedly made clear we
stand in solidarity with Turkey and support
the territorial integrity of our NATO ally,
Turkey, NATO Secretary-General Jens
Stoltenberg told a news conference after the
meeting of the alliances decision-making
North Atlantic Council, called at Turkeys
request.

New settlement spat


emerges as Kerry visits Israel
JERUSALEM A new spat emerged
between the Israeli government and
Washington over Jewish settlements on
Tuesday, as U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry visited Israel and the West Bank for
the first time in more than a year.
As Kerry set aside his goal of a long-sought
peace accord to make way for more modest
hopes of an end to two months of deadly violence, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu called for the recognition of some
existing settlement blocs in exchange for
steps to ease tensions with the Palestinians.
In Washington, the State Department quickly
rejected any suggestion the U.S. would alter

down, a Palestinian motorist rammed his

Russian jet had been in Syrian airspace at


the time. One of two helicopters sent to the
crash site to search for survivors was also
hit by rebel fire, killing one serviceman and

forcing the chopper to make an emergency


landing, the military said.
Stoltenberg urged calm and de-escalation and renewed contacts between
Moscow and Ankara. Russia has long been
at odds with NATO, which it accuses of
encroaching on Russias borders, as well as
with Turkeys determination to oust Syrian
President Bashar Assad, a longtime
Moscow ally.
In Washington, President Barack Obama
said Turkey has a right to defend its territory and its airspace.
At a news conference with French
President Francois Hollande, he said the
incident underscored the ongoing problem with Russias military operations in
Syria, where the Russians have been targeting groups near the Turkish border. Calling
Russia an outlier in the global fight
against the Islamic State group, Obama said
that if Moscow were to concentrate its
airstrikes on IS targets, mistakes would be
less likely to occur.
On Sept. 30, Russia began a campaign of
massive airstrikes in Syria, which it says
are aimed at destroying fighters of the
Islamic State group but which Western critics contend are bolstering Assads forces.

Obama, Hollande
pledge solidarity
in fight against IS
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a show of
Western solidarity, President
Barack Obama and French
President Francois Hollande
vowed Tuesday to escalate
airstrikes against the Islamic
State and bolster intelligence
sharing following the deadly
attacks in Paris. They called on
Russia to join the international
efforts, but only if Moscow ends
its support for Syrias embattled
president.
Russia is the outlier, Obama
said during a joint White House
news conference with Hollande.
Tuesdays meeting came hours
after Turkey shot down a Russian
warplane near the Syrian border.
The incident underscored the
complex military landscape in
Syria, where a sprawling cast of
countries and rebel groups are
engaged on the battlefield and in
the skies overhead, sometimes
with minimal coordination.

Obama said Russian cooperation in the fight against the


Islamic State would be enormously helpful. But he insisted a
partnership is impossible as
long as Russia stands by Syrian
President Bashar Assad, who is
blamed by the U.S. for plunging
his country into chaos and creating the vacuum that allowed the
Islamic State group to strengthen.
We hope that they refocus
their attention on what is the
most substantial threat, and that
they serve as a constructive partner, Obama said of Russia.
Hollande concurred, saying
France wants to work alongside
Russia, but only if President
Vladimir Putin fully commits
to supporting a political transition in Syria.
Hollandes alignment with
Obama was notable, given that he
was expected to urge the U. S.
president to put aside some of his
differences with Russia to build a
new coalition to fight the extrem-

ists. But Hollandes mission
quickly became entangled with
the fallout from the downed
Russian military plane.
Obama cautioned that information about the incident was still
emerging. However, he did say
that Turkey had a right to defend
its territory and its airspace.
The White House said late
Tuesday Obama spoke with
Turkeys president, Recep Tayyip

Erdogan, to discuss the downing


of the Russian plane. In the call,
Obama expressed U.S. and NATO
support for Turkeys right to
defend its sovereignty, and the
leaders also agreed on the importance of de-escalating the situation and pursuing arrangements
to ensure it doesnt happen again,
the White House said.
Obama also convened his
National Security Council on

Tuesday to discuss the response


to recent terrorist attacks by the
Islamic State group. The White
House said the president was told
there is currently no specific,
credible threat to the U.S. homeland from the group.
Even before the incident
between Turkey and Russia,
Hollande faced a tough challenge
in getting Obama to agree to a
partnership with Moscow.

Official: Paris attacks organizer was planning more carnage


By Samuel Petrequin
and Nicolas Vaux-Montagny
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The man believed to


have planned the Nov. 13 Paris
attacks that killed 130 people and
wounded hundreds more had likely
planned to carry out another suicide bombing days later in the
French capitals business district,
the Paris prosecutor said Tuesday.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud and an
accomplice are believed to have
been planning to attack La
Defense on Nov. 18 or 19, Paris
prosecutor Francois Molins said.
Abaaoud was among three peo-

ple killed during a police raid


on an apartment in a northern Paris suburb
in the early
hours of Nov.
18. His female
cousin, Hasna
Abdelhamid Ait Boulahcen,
died of asphyxAbaaoud
ia apparently
from the explosive vest detonated
by a third person, who hasnt been
identified, the prosecutor said.
The explosion led to part of the
apartment collapsing.
Molins said the unidentified

third person is believed to have


been the accomplice with whom
Abaaoud would have carried out an
attack on La Defense, the highrise district that is headquarters to
major companies on the western
edge of Paris.
The prosecutor said he cant be,
and doesnt want to be more precise on the details suggesting
such an attack had been planned.
Information obtained on Nov. 19
suggested that the two attackers
Abaaoud and the man we found
by his side in the apartment
were planning an attack consisting of blowing themselves up at
La Defense either on Wednesday

the 18th or Thursday the 19th,


Molins said.
The Nov. 13 attacks in Paris,
claimed by the Islamic State
group, targeted people enjoying a
Friday night out at a packed concert hall, a restaurant terrace, a
cafe and a friendly soccer match
between France and Germany. In
the hours after the killings,
Abaaoud is believed to have
returned to the sites of at least
some of the attacks, including the
Bataclan concert hall, even while
special police forces were still
there.
The
geolocalization
of
Abdelhamid Abaaouds alleged

phone between 22:28 p.m. and


0:28 confirms a presence in the
12th, 11th, and 10th districts, and
notably near the Bataclan concert
hall, Molins said. This allows
us to think that Abdelhamid
Abaaoud returns to the crime
scenes following the attacks on
terraces of the cafes and restaurants of the 10th and 11th districts
while (special police) were still
taking action at the Bataclan.
On Tuesday, a judge also handed
down terrorism-related charges to
Jawad Bendaoud, the only person
so far in France known to be facing such charges directly linked to
the Nov. 13 attacks.

Making transportation affordable to all


By Vincent Merola

ith increased operational


costs and structural decits
to address, SamTrans
Board of Directors voted unanimously
last month to raise fares for its xed
route and paratransit bus rides.
These fare raises will have a signicant long-lasting negative effect on
people with disabilities, especially
those who rely on and frequently use
SamTrans services. The vast majority
of these riders are on xed incomes,
making even slight increases painful
to bear. Adult fares will increase by 25
cents to $2.25 in 2016 and another
25 cent increase will be added in
2019. Nobody really likes it when the
costs of things go up. I fall under this
category. Having recently moved to
the Bay Area by way of Connecticut
a place with virtually zero public
transportation I have come to use
SamTrans quite frequently. I enjoy
hopping on the ECR in Redwood City
to get to and from work. The public
transit system in San Mateo County
serves me well. Im able, and therefore willing to pay the increased
fares.
SamTrans Board of Directors also
voted to raise fares for its
RediWheels/RediCoast paratransit
services. On its website, SamTrans
states, paratransit rides are for persons with disabilities who cannot
independently use SamTrans bus service. It goes on to state that under the
Americans with Disability Act, transit
agencies are required to provide paratransit service. The law requires transit agencies to provide paratransit
service comparable to the level of

Guest
perspective
xed-route service and that they can
charge no more than twice a xedroute fare. Presently, the one-way fare
for paratransit in the county is $3.75.
The Board of Directors voted to
increase that by 50 cents to $4.25 in
2016 and another 50 cents in 2019,
bringing the total one-way fare to
$4.75 by that time. Both of these
increases will bring the fare just under
the maximum allowable limit under
the ADA.
There is something we can do to
alleviate these pressures. After receiving public input, SamTrans (thankfully) decided to keep the paratransit
Lifeline fare at its current rate of
$1.75. If you are unfamiliar with this
SamTrans program, that might be due
to the fact that its not easy to nd on
its website. A search for the term
Lifeline at samtrans.com produces
ve seemingly unrelated results. One
would need the Paratransit Riders
Guide to understand the program.
Here, the guide states that only people on Supplemental Security Income,
General Assistance or Medi-Cal may
be eligible for the Lifeline reduced
fare program. This criterion simply
does not go far enough to help the
disability community. It needs to be
expanded to include other low income
riders.
Social Security Disability Insurance
and Social Security retirement have
average monthly payments of $1,146
and $1,294, respectively. For a sin-

gle-person household, thats roughly


125 percent of the federal poverty
level. Any rational person would consider those numbers to be low
income, yet these recipients would
not be eligible for the Lifeline service.
In a county with such a high cost of
living, people on xed incomes are
often forced to make every penny
count. At our center, we already hear
from people on xed incomes not
able to afford the cost of transportation to senior centers or to visit
friends and family. We even hear from
people on xed incomes forced to
make the choice between purchasing
food or medicine. When the cost of
RediWheels/RediCoast rides goes up
next year and then again in 2019,
these consumers will have even more
tough decisions to make. By then, a
regular round trip paratransit fare will
be a whopping $9.50.
The xed route fare increase will not
prohibit me from getting to work or
from visiting friends for dinner and
drinks. You see, I am not on a xed
income and Im able to pay the added
25 cents. But for San Mateo County
residents with disabilities on xed
incomes, a $9.50 ride to see family,
visit a doctor or to pick up medication
is an unaffordable luxury.
SamTrans needs to promote the
Lifeline program better and it needs to
expand the programs eligibility to
include more low-income riders.

concentrate on what you dont have, you will never,
never have enough.
Seems our culture has evolved, since that first
Thanksgiving so many
years ago, into grasping,
obsessive consumers. Has
our country become so
overcome by the mania to
consume that the true
meaning of Thanksgiving
has been lost? Maybe it all
began when, in 1939,
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt changed what
had been the traditional
Thanksgiving Day on the
last Thursday in November
to the third Thursday to
help business by lengthening the shopping period before Christmas. In 1941,
Congress changed it back. Lets hope that the few establishments that have chosen not to be open on
Thanksgiving Day or the day after this year are starting
a new trend. But with stores like Target opening at 6
p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and staying open all night
and through Friday, we must not expect miracles.
For many of those in charge of dinner, Thanksgiving
isnt anything more than a frantic day of preparing the
traditional turkey and dressing. In the days when few
women were employed outside the home, doing all of
the shopping and preparation for Thanksgiving dinner,
especially when entertaining a bunch of guests, was not
such a big deal. But todays culture is very different. A
recent Pew Research Center survey found that working
parents feel stressed, tired and rushed and short on
quality time with children, friends, partners or hobbies
while family structure seems to have permanently
changed, public policy, workplace structure and mores
have not seemed to adjust to a norm in which both parents work. San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 5, 2015.
This year, Thanksgiving will be different for us. We
will enjoy visitors from England who say they are interested in experiencing what the day is like in the United
States. According to my Web research, its not a national holiday in England. Its held on a Sunday nearing the
harvest moon in mostly rural areas and celebrated by a
community dinner. Im curious to find out what our
guests expect and hope that they will not be disappointed because ours will not be like the more traditional
events of years gone by. I will not be relegated to the
kitchen as before and since those who would be available to do the cooking dont have the time for all that
meal preparation, we will enjoy turkey and all the trimmings and there will be Tofurkey for the vegetarians,
but most of our dinner will be catered. Well start a new
tradition.
Whether we believe a deity is involved in our good
fortune or not, stopping to take inventory of the positive aspects of our lives is a good thing to do on
Thanksgiving and all throughout the year, for that matter. And with a bit of humility, those of us who are fortunate to be doing well will be sharing our bounty with
those who havent had it so good. As Albert Schweitzer
once wrote: Whatever you have received more than others in health, in talent, in ability, in success, in a
pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home
life all this you must not take to yourself as a matter
of course. In gratitude for your own good fortune, you
must render in return some sacrifices of your own life for
another life. Isnt this the real meaning of
Thanksgiving?
And then there was Irving Berlin who didnt ask for
much: Got no checkbook, got no banks, Still Id like
to express my thanks: Ive got the sun in the morning
and the moon at night.
Happy Thanksgiving!

NEW YORK Stocks overcame an


early stumble Tuesday and finished
modestly higher as investors shook
off concerns about heightened tensions in the Middle East and a drop in
consumer confidence.
The price of oil spiked after Turkey
shot down a Russian fighter plane that
Turkey said had violated its airspace
and ignored warnings. Energy stocks
including Exxon Mobil and Chevron
moved higher along with the price of
oil. Travel-related stocks including
airlines, cruise operators and booking
sites like Expedia slumped.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 19.51 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 17,812.19. The Standard & Poors
500 index added 2.55 points, or 0.1
percent, to 2, 089. 14. The Nasdaq
composite index inched up 0. 33
points to 5,102.81.
The downing of the Russian plane
added a new layer of complexity to the
crisis in Syria. Russia denied that its
jets had violated Turkish airspace, said
it had been betrayed by Turkey, and
warned of severe consequences. NATO
worked to reduce tensions at an
extraordinary meeting.
Domestically, a business research
group said consumer confidence in the
U.S. sank this month as Americans
worried about the state of the job mar-

ket. The Conference Board said consumer confidence fell to its lowest
level in a year. That was a surprise
after a month of strong job gains in
October. Consumer discretionary
stocks including Netflix and Amazon
slipped following the report.
Jeremy Zirin, chief equity strategist
at UBS Wealth Management Research,
said the confidence report was a surprise because there are a lot of reasons
for consumers to feel good right now.
Employers are hiring and Americans
have more money to spend because
inflation and gas prices are low.
Theres also evidence wages are
increasing.
Its hard to explain, he said. Zirin
said he thinks consumer confidence
will improve in December.
Crude oil rose $1.12, or 2.7 percent,
to $42.87 a barrel in New York. That
followed a 3. 4-percent jump on
Monday. Before that, the price of U.S.
crude had fallen to its lowest level
since August. Brent crude rose $1.29,
or 2.9 percent, to $46.12 a barrel in
London.
In other energy trading, wholesale
gasoline climbed 7.7 cents, or 5.8
percent, to $1.39 a gallon. Heating
oil rose 2.5 cents, or 1.8 percent, to
$1.40 a gallon. Natural gas missed out
on the rally and lost 1 cent to $2.20
per 1,000 cubic feet.
Energy stocks rose 2.1 percent, by

Feds revising wary


stance on self-driving cars

By Brandon Bailey

LOS ANGELE Federal transportation


officials are rethinking their position on
self-driving cars with an eye toward getting
the emerging technology into the publics
hands.
Just two years ago, the U.S. Department
of Transportation struck a cautious tone. Its
official policy statement, published in May
2013, says cars should be limited to testing
and not authorized for use by members of
the public for general driving purposes.
For several years, Google and several traditional automakers have been running prototypes equipped with a suite of sensors and
cameras around public streets and highways,
mostly in California.
Those cars must have someone behind the
wheel, ready to take over. Some have gotten
into collisions, though the companies say a
person in another car caused the accident in
each case.
Google has advocated spreading self-driving cars into the public, once the tech titan
concludes the technology is safe.
While states have taken the lead on regulating self-driving cars, policymakers in
Washington hold some sway over states
decision-making. Californias Department
of Motor Vehicles in particular has asked for
federal guidance as it struggles with how to
move the cars safely from small-scale road
tests to broader adoption.
In a written statement Monday, U. S.
Department of Transportation spokeswoman Suzanne Emmerling said that with
rapid development of the technology, federal policy is being updated.
Breathtaking progress has been made,
Emmerling wrote.

SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard


went out with a whimper Tuesday, as the
venerable computer-maker issued its final
quarterly earnings report as a unified tech
conglomerate, showing another drop in
sales for most of its business divisions.
HP, which split into two companies at the
start of this month, reported Tuesday that
sales of its personal computers, printers,
commercial software and tech services
declined in the quarter ending Oct. 31. The
results show many of the challenges both
spinoffs are facing.
But in a lone bright spot for the new spinoff known as Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Co., the company reported an increase in
sales of data-center hardware, including
computer servers and networking gear.

Like many of its tech industry peers, the


Palo Alto, California-based HP has struggled to keep up with recent industry trends
toward mobile and cloud computing. CEO
Meg Whitman and the HP board decided last
year to split the pioneering Silicon Valley
company, founded in 1939, into two new
companies. One is focused on PCs and printers, while the other sells commercial tech
products.
The latest results were not a good sign for
the spinoff known as HP Inc., as the company reported sales of PCs and printers were
both down 14 percent from the same period
a year earlier. HP Inc. also forecast adjusted
earnings for the current quarter will be within the range of 33 to 38 cents a share, which
is lower than the 42 cents analysts surveyed
by FactSet had predicted.
Shares in HP Inc., fell more than 5 percent
in extended trading after the report came out,
after closing earlier at $14.64.

index. Exxon Mobil rose $1.60, or 2


percent, to $81. 88 and Chevron
gained $1. 34, or 1. 5 percent, to
$81.35.
The rising price of oil was one of
several pieces of bad news for travel
stocks like booking sites and airlines. Higher oil prices mean
increased fuel costs, and they would
also leave consumers with less money
for travel. The sector was also battered
by a global travel warning from the
State Department and the drop in consumer confidence, which suggests that
Americans might become nervous
about spending money on vacations.
The State Department advised travelers that groups including the
Islamic State, al Qaeda and Boko
Haram continue to plan terrorist
attacks, and Americans should be particularly alert around the holidays.
Cowen & Co. analyst Helane Becker
said bookings might slump after that
warning, but if theres a dip, it probably wont long.
Theres usually a decline in bookings in the short term, she said. I
suspect that people who have planned
their vacations around the holidays
will continue to go but perhaps people
who are booking will stay stateside or
not go at all.
Priceline sank $24.14, or 1.9 percent, to $1,240.18 and competitor
Expedia shed $3.65, or 3.7 percent, to
$121.27.

A sweet 16 celebration
Warriors rout Lakers to set new record for most wins to start a season
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The defending champion


Golden State Warriors set the record for best
start in NBA history at 16-0, as Stephen
Curry had 24 points and nine assists in a
111-77 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers on
Tuesday night.
With their coach sidelined, the Warriors
surpassed the 15-0 starts by the Washington
Capitols of 1948-49 and 1993-94 Houston
Rockets.
Confetti streamed down when the final
buzzer sounded and Golden States players
barely celebrated.
Kobe Bryant shot 1 of 14 for just four
points, matching the worst-shooting performance of his career in a game where he
had at least one basket. The Lakers dropped
to 2-12 with the second-worst record in the
NBA.
Draymond Green added 18 points, seven
rebounds and five assists as the Warriors
extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 27 games with coach Steve
Kerr watching from behind the scenes while
recovering from complications following
two back surgeries.
Interim Luke Walton is leading the way,
and it might have been a little sweeter to set
the record against the Lakers franchise he
helped win two titles.
Golden State became the sixth team in
NBA history to win 20 consecutive regularseason games, a streak dating to last season. The Suns have the next shot at stopping this incredible start when the Warriors
visit Phoenix on Friday night.
Curry only had to play 30 minutes, taking
a seat for good with 6.5 seconds remaining
in the third to huge cheers from a sellout
crowd of 19,596 that was really closer to
20,000 with all the standing-room only
tickets sold.

Raiders losing streak dampens playoff talk


By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Earlier this month,


Oakland Raiders safety Charles Woodson
wanted his teammates to embrace the idea of
talking about the playoffs.
Three weeks later, the postseason chatter
inside Oaklands locker room has gone
silent.
Now the focus is on fixing a long list of
problems on both sides of the ball and ending a three-game losing streak that has quieted any talk about the playoffs.
Quarterback Derek Carr said thats exactly
where the Raiders attention needs to be.
I havent even looked at the race, Carr
said Tuesday. Every game for me is urgent.
Every game I need to win now. As long as we
keep that approach, well be all right.
With only six games left, Oakland is running out of time to get things turned around.

actions.

The Raiders (4-6) have fallen out of contention in the AFC West and are losing
ground in the chase for the second wild card
spot.
Barring a turnaround in the final month,
Oakland is on pace to miss the playoffs for
a 13th consecutive season.
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio doesnt want
his players thinking about that, however.
Its important that we not look at it that
way, Del Rio said. When you deal with
adversity like we are, when you drop a few in
a row, you have to be able to get up, dust
yourself off and move forward. It really
shows the kind of character you have.
The three-game losing streak is the
Raiders longest since going 0-10 to start
last season.
They began this year much more optimistically and were one of the NFLs
biggest surprises through the first two
months of the season.
After beating the New York Jets on Nov. 1

to improve to 4-3, Woodson said he wanted


the Raiders to start thinking about themselves as a playoff team a sentiment
shared by several Oakland veterans.
The narrative in the locker room has
changed somewhat following the three consecutive losses.
Its definitely a time when guys are starting to realize that were getting into desperate needs now, cornerback David Amerson
said.
We need to start putting together some
wins, start stacking them up. Times getting
short. Youre getting toward the bottom of
the season and right now its starting to get
the mentality of all or nothing.
The path to the playoffs isnt as complicated as the Raiders might think.
Of their final five opponents Oakland
plays Kansas City twice only two have
winning records.
Given their loss to 3-7 Detroit last week,
however, the Raiders cant take anything

for granted.
It really just comes down to us, Carr
said. I went back and watched (the Lions
game) and its like, man, this is completely
on us, which is a good thing because now we
can go out and fix it.
Carr shot down any talk that the Raiders
might be pressing. The problems theyve
had on both sides of the ball are selfinflicted and, he said, correctable.
I dont worry about it but you always
have to keep an eye on it, Carr said. You
have to make sure that were just doing our
job. If we just stay focused on that well get
back to what weve been able to do.

Losing teams are


throwing wrench
into bowl picture
By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NCAA football oversight committee will wait until


next week to complete a plan for matching sub-.500 teams
with bowls if there are not enough bowl-eligible squads to
fill 40 games.
There are 71 teams that have won at least six games and
secured at least a .500 record, the minimum for playing in
the postseason. If nine more teams dont become bowl-eligible, losing teams would fill the remaining spots.
Eighteen teams can reach bowl-eligibility over the next two
weeks, including 14 that need one more victory.
Among the teams that need wins in their season finales are
Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota.
Also, Texas, Kansas State, Georgia State and LouisianaLafayette can become bowl eligible with two more victories.
We will look at one more weekend of outcomes before
finalizing, Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who leads
the oversight committee, said in a text to the AP on Tuesday.
The number of bowl games has grown larger than ever as
conference commissioners try to ensure that they will have
postseason destinations for any of their teams that reach
bowl-eligibility. The problem is 63 percent of the 127 FBS
teams need to become eligible to fill all 80 spots, a higher
percentage than ever before.
Some of the potential issues with 5-7 teams being made
available to bowls could work themselves out.
The Big Ten goes into its final weekend of regular-season
play with two fewer bowl-eligible teams than it has spots
available in its bowl lineup. If there are not enough six-win
teams in other conferences to fill those spots, those bowls
would likely have 5-7 Big Ten teams made available for
selection.
A criteria for sorting out which 5-7 teams get priority still
needs to be worked out, along with which bowls would select
first. The conferences could have a say in that, too. The
NCAA created a safety net plan in 2012 that used the
Academic Progress Rating as a way of making 5-7 teams
bowl-eligible if there were not enough six-win teams to fill
the bowls. That plan only covers the teams with the best
APRs.
Football Bowl Association Executive Director Wright
Waters has said that the bowls mostly want to make sure that
if 5-7 teams end up in the postseason, the matchups are made
giving consideration to geographical fit. Generally, lowertier bowls prefer teams whose fans are within driving distance of the stadium.

STANFORD Stanford became a college football powerhouse behind its power offense.
Formations with nine offensive linemen. An offense
that relies on multiple tight ends. A bruising fullback to
create holes in the running game.
Coach David Shaw has added a new wrinkle this season:
speed.
With Christian McCaffrey running
past defenders and into Heisman Trophy
consideration and freshman Bryce Love
taking advantage of his limited opportunities to deliver big plays in a ash,
the 13th-ranked Cardinal (9-2) have
become more difcult to defend than
ever.
Weve talked so much about increasChristian
ing our speed really for the last six or
McCaffrey
seven years, Shaw said. To nd those
guys that can nish plays. We talked a couple years ago
about tired of having 20-yard gains, we want 50-yard
touchdowns.
The Cardinal have eight touchdowns of at least 50 yards
this season and six more of 40 or more yards, making them
a threat to score from almost any part of the eld.
McCaffrey and Love are the biggest reason for this added
element, providing an added challenge for defenses. The
next team to try to slow down the Cardinal, who have
scored at least 30 points in 10 straight games, is No. 4
Notre Dame.
Theyve had speed on the perimeter, and I just think
that theyve got McCaffrey who gives it to them in all
phases of the game, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
I think thats probably the difference on offense.

Hes an explosive runner, offensive lineman Joshua
Garnett said. You just give him one little crease and hes
gone.
When teams focus on stopping McCaffrey, thats when
Love steps in. Used only sparingly as he learns Stanfords
complex offense, Loves sprinter speed has added a dangerous element to the offense.
He has three big-play touchdowns and is averaging 11.4
yards on his 37 offensive touches. Loves latest touchdown came late against Cal when Kevin Hogan faked a
handoff to McCaffrey and then gave it to Love on a jet
sweep.
Love sprinted 48 yards for the touchdown to seal the
win.
We had been setting them up with run plays with
Christian. And then I went out to the slot and running in
the same plays with me out there, just to set it up, Love
said. And then nally, I came in there and got the reverse
called and I just ran in. It was open.
McCaffrey and Love are far from alone when it comes to
big-play threats for Stanford. Barry Sanders has two long
touchdown runs and receiver Michael Rector is a capable
deep threat for Hogan. Sophomore receiver Isaiah BrandtSims might be the fastest of all but he hasnt caught a pass
yet this season.
I think we have got one heck of a 4x100 team, Shaw
said. I think its truly special.

FIFA seeks life ban against UEFAs Platini


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The FIFA ethics committee has requested a life ban for
Michel Platini, the Frenchmans
lawyer said Tuesday, a move that
would rule the UEFA president out of
the race to succeed Sepp Blatter.
Thibaut dAles told the Associated
Press that the maximum sanction
was asked for when the FIFA ethics
committee investigations unit submitted its final case report.
Blatter could also face expulsion
from world soccer over a $2 million
payment of FIFA money he
approved to Platini in 2011.
Platini and Blatter face separate

one involved as nine different players
recorded a kills.
Tonight we were focused on
spreading the ball around, Agresti
said.
Even the newcomers had a hand in
the Notre Dame win. Kendal Peters
and Krissy Smoot, both freshmen
who spent the regular season on the
junior varsity squad, were called up for
the playoffs. Both got into Tuesdays
match and both came through when
their number was called. Both had
positive first touches: Peters drilled
home a kill in Game 2, while Krissy
Smoot got an assist on a Byrne kill in
Game 3.
Theyve been very supportive of
our team (since they were called up),
Agresti said of Peters and Krissy
Smoot. [Their enthusiasm] brings
everyone up and gets everyone
involved with the win.
The Tigers were on top of their
game in the first set. The Bruins did a
good of job of limiting their mis-

hearings before FIFA ethics judge


Joachim Eckert in December.
The overreaching of the request
really convinces us of this commissions total lack of credibility,
DAles said in a telephone interview. There is not a single tangible
element in this case that can confirm
the suspicions.
Platini is currently serving a 90day ban over cash he got as backdated salary almost nine years after he
stopped working as Blatters presidential adviser from 1998-2002.
Platini denies wrongdoing and
says he had a verbal contract with
Blatter to receive the money.
Blatter has argued that an oral

agreement is valid under Swiss law.


However, FIFA was also not legally
required to pay Platini after five
years passed.
Eckert is expected to give his verdicts in the cases of Platini and
Blatter in December. Any sanctions
can be challenged at the FIFA
appeals committee and Court of
Arbitration for Sport.
DAles said he was informed of the
ethics committees request on
Monday and decided to make it public after it leaked in the French press.
He said FIFAs aim is to prove that
there was no contract between
Platini and Blatter.
Obviously weve got the proof

takes early, but it was only a matter of


time before Notre Dame took control
of the game. A Tigers serve error cut
their lead to 6-3 before they scored
the four points to take a 10-3 advantage. Byrne had a kill, Mavis Lui
dropped in a service ace, Kristine
Gese roofed a loose St. Patrick-St.
Vincent pass for the third point in the
run, which was capped by a Bruins
error.
Kills from SPSVs Jaiden Paja and
Halle Webster, who led the Bruins
with nine kills, cut the Notre Dame
lead to 11-6, but the Tigers went on to
win eight straight points to push
their lead to 19-6.
Katie Smoot then took over the
down the stretch, with a kill and pair
of aces to give Game 1 to Notre
Dame.
The Bruins, however, put together
their best play to start Game 2. Notre
Dame scored the first three points,
with Maddie Baumann winning a 5050 ball above the net, before hammering home a kill.
But SPSV rallied. A Webster roof
got the Bruins on the scoreboard and
they went on to win the next three
points to take their only lead of the
match, 4-3.

The scored was tied at 4 and again at


5 before the Tigers took control by
winning 19 of the next 22 points.
Once again, it was Katie Smoot and
her thundering arm that put an exclamation point on the second set. With
Notre Dame leading 13-7, Katie
Smoot had five kills the rest of the
way. Baumann finished what she
started, getting a kill off a block for
game point.
It was more Notre Dame domination in Game 3, with Byrne handling
the heavy lifting as she finished with
five kills in the final game.
Being that our kids have been really sick (recently) I think its very
beneficial to have a shot match and
get some rest over the holiday,
Agresti said. I think the challenging
part for us is whats hanging over our
head from last year.
The Tigers advanced to the Nor Cal
championship game last season,
falling in four games to eventual
Division IV state champ Sonora. The
Wildcats are the No. 3 in the Division
IV bracket this season and will face
No. 2 Marin Catholic in the other
semifinal match.

that such a deal existed, DAles


said. We will submit it to CAS,
which will handle the case within a
fairly short space of time.
A spokesman for the FIFA ethics
prosecutors declined to confirm
what sanction was requested last
week.
We are entitled to comment but
we decided for reasons of personality
rights and the presumption of innocence not to publish the request,
Andreas Bantel told The Associated
Press in a telephone interview. If
Mr. Platini wants to comment on the
request he is entitled to do that.
Platini aims to clear his name and
stand as a candidate in the FIFA pres-

idential election on Feb. 26 to succeed Blatter, who is stepping down.


Blatter announced his exit plans on
June 2 under pressure from American
and Swiss federal investigations
into bribery and corruption at FIFA.
Switzerlands attorney-general
has opened criminal proceedings
against Blatter over the $2 million
payment as suspected criminal mismanagement of FIFA money.
Platini was quizzed on Sept. 25 at
FIFA headquarters as between a witness and an accused person, according to attorney general Michael
Lauber.
A FIFA life ban has been overturned by CAS in the past.

the ball to [setter Kristin Sellers] to run our

Sellers racked up 40 assists while spreading
the ball around the front row. Senior outside
hitter Maddie Stewart scored a team-high 16
kills, but middle hitter Payton Mack (12
kills) and opposite Mia Vandermeer (nine
kills) were critical in keeping a formidable
Hilmar block off point.
It was definitely by design, Mack said of
the varied attack. We had a plan. Im kind of
the player who goes wherever Im need. But it
worked out well for us.
Menlo jumped out to an early 7-6 lead in
Game 1 on a clutch block by Mack, then
opened it up to 21-14 on a kill by sophomore
opposite Ashley Dreyer. But Hilmar rallied
back, going on a 7-2 run to close it to 23-21

potential comeback stalled with a hitting

the Knights the lead; Stewart won a joust at
middle net to make it 23-21; and Mack soon
closed it out with a sharp kill off the left side.
Pellarin who recently earned Menlo volleyballs Outstanding Senior Award was a
key presence, according to Mack.
I think Olivia came in and rocked it, Mack
said. She gave us the energy we needed.
In Game 3, Baptista finally got cooking off
the left side for Hilmar. The senior totaled five
kills, two aces and a block in the set. But it
was back-to-back blocks by sophomores
Mariah Ahid and Erin Benning that gave the
Yellowjackets an early 5-3 edge. They sustained it throughout, leading by as much as
21-16. Menlo did fight back to close it to 2322 on a Sianna Houghton kill, but Baptista
responded with a kill to force set point and
Menlo misfired long to close it out.

time in eight days. Notre Dame won last

IndyCar adds additional
tethers to improve safety

high-tensile tethers are expected


to minimize the possibility of
debris flying around during accidents and hitting fans as well as
drivers in their open cockpits.

INDIANAPOLIS

Three
months after Justin Wilsons death
at Pocono Raceway, IndyCar is
taking steps to reduce crash debris
and improve safety.
The
open-wheel
series
announced Tuesday that it will
tether its aerodynamic components beginning next season. The

It is a continual goal to
improve safety for all the participants, fans and drivers alike, said
Will Phillips, IndyCars vice president of technology. We also
need to do this in a fashion that
does not create more yellow-flag
racing and try to prevent as much
debris as possible.

Last season opened with concern over debris from the new,
more brittle chassis, so series
officials instructed Honda and
Chevrolet to makes structural
upgrades to the cars. After three
cars flipped over in practice before
the Indianapolis 500, series officials took away extra horsepower,
and an equipment change was made
after James Hinchcliffe sustained
life-threatening injuries after a
broken suspension piece pierced
his left leg at Indy.

You wont miss the meat or bread in this veg-rich oven hash
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heading into crisper weather, I start


to crave the holiday classics that beg
to be made this time of year. One of
my favorites is stuffing (technically
dressing since I havent stuffed it in
the turkey ever since Alton Brown
talked me out of it over a decade ago
when I read his recipe for roasted
turkey). Seasoned cubes of dried bread
sauteed with celery, onion, herbs and
butter, then baked up to crispy-outside-soft-inside perfection?
Yes, please!
Except ... My extended family has
three vegetarians and my daughter is
gluten-free. So my challenge was how
to make a dish that scratches the stuffing itch for them without making it
seem like the ugly duckling of the
Thanksgiving table. The solution
ended up being a roasted vegetable
medley that I promise will be the
most-requested recipe of your holiday.
It is that good, and full of nutrients,
too.

VEGGIE OVEN HASH


Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 8
2 1/2 cups (3/4 pound) cubed butternut squash (1-inch cubes)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 cups (1/3 pound) small cauliflower
florets
2 cups (1/3 pound) small broccoli
florets
1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped


4 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
(cut in half if slices are larger than
bite-sized)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored
and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, roughly
chopped
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line 2
rimmed baking sheets with kitchen
parchment or foil.
Mound the squash on one of the prepared baking sheets then drizzle with
about 1 teaspoon of oil. Toss to coat,
then season with salt and pepper.
Arrange in an even layer, then roast
until tender, 30 to 35 minutes, turning
once or twice.
While the squash is roasting, mound
the cauliflower and broccoli on the
second sheet. Drizzle them with 2 teaspoons of oil, season with salt and
pepper, then arrange in an even layer
and roast for 25 minutes, turning
halfway through, or until the cauliflower is golden. All of the vegetables
should finish roasting around the
same time. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over
medium, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add
the onion and celery and cook until
translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the
garlic and mushrooms, then saute
until the mushrooms are starting to
get tender, about 7 minutes. Add the
apple, thyme, rosemary and sage,

Easy, healthy and satisfying.Your healthy or vegan or gluten-free guests will feel satisfied, not sidelined.
then cook another 5 minutes, or until
the mushrooms are tender (but not
floppy). Stir in the lemon juice,
remove from the heat and transfer to a
large bowl.
Add the slightly cooled roasted vegetables and the toasted walnuts. Stir
and adjust seasoning if needed.

more, it could be an issue we see every day.
This years King Tides are also exacerbated
by El Nio as the expanded warmer waters
account for about a half-foot increase. The
high tides hit different parts of the state at
various times and beginning around 8:30
a.m. it rose to about 6.5 feet in Half Moon
Bay. At Coyote Point, where supervisors
Dave Pine and Carole Groom gathered with
Papendick and about 20 members of the public, the tides rose to nearly 6.8 feet. On
Wednesday morning, its predicted to hit a
high of 8.5 feet at Coyote Point in San
Mateo, according to tide charts.
Horsley and Half Moon Bay Mayor Marina
Fraser said coastside residents have seen the
impacts of nearly 1.5 feet of erosion each
year as roads and trails become compromised.
This week, a joint effort between the city,
county and Caltrans begun to make repairs to
the riprap at Surfers Beach a project that
will temporarily help keep Highway 1 protected just south of Pillar Point Harbor.
The county is on the forefront of looking
at the impacts 50, 60 years from now. But

youve got to start now, Fraser said. Its all


part of climate change, sea level rise, reducing greenhouse gases; there is a huge regional effort.
The county is working with the state,
Federal Emergency Management Agency and
will seek collaboration with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for projects and studies
related to the impacts of sea level rise, said
Deborah Hirst, a legislative aide in Horsleys
office.
This King Tides event is to help start raising awareness about where were already at
risk to coastal flooding and thinking ahead to
where we need to plan for projects like
[Surfers Beach], Hirst said. We have lots of
people really pulling together to help us
think about how we can make resilient shorelines across city and county boundaries up
and down the state.
Papendick agreed, noting it will take a
regional effort to help prepare the extremely
vulnerable San Mateo County for combating
the impacts of climate change. The countys
task force will likely finalize its vulnerability assessment next June and long term,
theres a need to consider how to finance proj-

ects, Papendick said.


One example, is the San Francisco Bay
Restoration Authority considering placing a
$12 parcel tax that could raise $500 million
over 20 years on the June ballot. The proceeds of which could go toward levees and
restoring wetlands that provide significant
flood protection throughout the nine-county
Bay Area. Finding other funding sources for
projects to protect critical San Mateo County
assets like airports, wastewater treatment
facilities and popular trails needs to be a
regional priority, Papendick said.
This is not something that any one jurisdiction can do alone. The solutions need to be
cross city as well as cross county; because
waters dont know city boundaries,
Papendick said. So its important to find a
sustainable funding source that allows us to
collaborate and come up with solutions that
are effective and not piecemealed.

trict funds was well within his rights as an


administrator.
He was not violating district policy, she
said.
Miljanich added she would not have any
concerns about Galatolo continuing similar
behavior in the future.
Galatolo purchased wine as part of a business dinner with prospective bond underwriters when he was attending a Community
College League of California CEO meeting,
and a portion of the trip was reimbursed by
the organization putting on the conference,
according to Christensen.
He also bought 16 alcoholic beverages,
including cocktails and glasses of wine,
according to receipts obtained by NBC, during a dinner in Las Vegas with roughly 15
colleagues which Christensen said was during a convention for the California School
Employees Association.
Though the sum of the bill amounted to
$978, Christensen noted the dinner cost
roughly $70 per person, and claimed it was

chance for district employees and associates


to build a closer sense of community.
This dinner was an opportunity to build a
better team relationship between the CSEA
leadership and district personnel, she said.
And while on a trip to Asia designed to
enhance the districts ability to recruit international students, Galatolo purchased beers
worth $22, according to Christensen, during
meals with local officials and business leaders.
Typically, employees stand to have their
district charge card revoked should they use it
to buy alcohol, according to the districts
policy on travel expense.
But Galatolos alcohol purchases are
beyond the policy regulating what district
employees can buy with district funds,
because the regulation does not apply to purchases during businesses meeting, conferences, among other events, which are considered legitimate business expenses, said
Christensen.
She said Galatolos use of district finances

are examples of legitimate job-related activities which go outside the scope of the individual employee travel expense policy.
Maxine Terner, who has long been an outspoken critic of the districts allocation of
public money, said in an email she believed
Galatolos behavior is representative of a
larger cause for concern.
This is the tip of the iceberg, she said.
[San Mateo] County voters have been misled and lied to about a lot more than drinks.
Terner claims the district has irresponsibly
spent millions of dollars in bond funds
passed by district voters, and residents have
been misled to support the construction of
extravagant buildings which are not necessary to serve students.
Terner said she believed a more thorough
analysis of the spending habits of community college district officials is long overdue.
Its way past time for the spotlight to
shine on this invisible public agency hidden
in plain sight high on the hills of San Mateo
County, she said.

Cranberry sauce makes great pancakes


By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In their natural form, cranberries are


quite healthy, full of vitamin C and
fiber and packing just 4 grams of
sugar per cup. In fact, they only
become nutritionally worrying when
they get doused with sugar around the
holidays.
My answer, of course, is to make
your own cranberry sauce this holiday. Its incredibly easy and it allows
you to cut the sugar content in half
without anyone missing it.
So instead of heading down the
canned food aisle, pop over to the
produce section (youre going there to
buy potatoes and green beans, anyway, right?) and pick up a bag of fresh
cranberries. Follow the recipe on the
bag (usually something along the
lines of boiling the berries with water
and sugar), but cut the suggested
amount of sugar in half (or by a quarter if you cant come to terms with
half).
For extra flavor and natural sweetness, I sometimes add orange zest or
segments to my cranberry sauce, as
well as a vanilla bean. But frankly, it
almost doesnt matter what I do to the
cranberry sauce, as its presence on the
table is merely symbolic to my family. My French husband didnt grow up
eating cranberry sauce, so he never
developed a taste for it. And my kids
arent fans, either.
The result? I always have leftover
cranberry sauce. Forever a budget
cook, I feel compelled to give those
leftovers new life. Ill add it to my
favorite apple crumble or muffin
recipe, spoon it over yogurt or into
oatmeal for breakfast, or use it as a
base for a spicy-sweet salsa or chutney.
Perhaps my kids favorite way to
rework cranberry sauce is in pancakes. I mix cranberry sauce with oats
and flax seeds to make a tasty treat
that my family loves on winter weekend mornings, when I let a little extra
sugar slide. I use my leftover homemade cranberry sauce in this recipe,

Leftover homemade cranberry sauce can be used in this recipe, but it works just
fine with the canned stuff, even the jellied variety.
but it works just fine with the canned
stuff, even the jellied variety (complete with can-shaped grooves on the
sides).

CRANBERRY SAUCE,
OAT AND FLAX PANCAKES
This recipe is easily made glutenfree by substituting a gluten-free flour
mix for the all-purpose flour called
for. Your best bet is with flour mixes
labeled as a 1-to-1 substitute for
wheat flour.
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Makes 10 pancakes
1/2 cup oat flour (or 3/4 cup oats,
pulsed in food processor until finely
ground)
1/4 cup almond flour (also called
almond meal)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons flax meal (ground
flaxseed)
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2/3 cup prepared cranberry sauce
(whole berry or jellied)
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 egg
2/3 cup low-fat milk (dairy or nondairy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium while preparing the batter. Heat
the oven to 200 F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together
the oat flour, almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking
soda, salt, flax meal and cinnamon.
In a second medium bowl, briskly
whisk together the yogurt and cranberry sauce to break up the cranberry
sauce. Add the orange zest, egg, milk
and vanilla and whisk until smooth
(not counting chunks from any whole
cranberries). Pour the wet ingredients
into the dry mixture and gently stir
with a whisk, incorporating all the
ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Lightly mist the hot griddle with
cooking spray. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the prepared griddle, being careful not to
crowd the griddle. Cook until the pancake batter is nearly dry, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1
to 2 minutes. Transfer to a heat-safe
plate and set in the oven to keep
warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with desired toppings.

Food brief
Agency: Nineteen people
ill in E. coli outbreak tied to Costco
SEATTLE Nineteen people in seven states, including
Montana, Utah and Colorado, have contracted E. coli in an
outbreak linked to chicken salad bought at Costco, federal
health officials said Tuesday.
People who bought chicken salad at any U.S. Costco
store on or before Friday were advised to throw it away,
even if no one has gotten sick.
The strain of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli can be lifethreatening, but no deaths have been reported in the current
outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said five
people have been hospitalized and two have developed a
type of kidney failure.
The CDC and state health officials were investigating and
have not yet determined what ingredient in the rotisserie
chicken salad made and sold in Costco Wholesale stores
could be the source of the outbreak.

The Good Dinosaur delivers


By Jerry Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Mashing up the genres of a childrens


dinosaur tale and a frontier Western is
an inspired choice in The Good
Dinosaur.
Visually, you see a family of
apatosaurus, a trio of tyrannosaurus,
some velociraptors and pterodactyls.
But these creatures exhibit the characteristics, behaviors and accents of
farmers, wranglers, cattle rustlers and
crazy cowboy villains.
Back in the Cretaceous period, in our
reality the theory goes that a giant
comet hit the Earth and wiped out most
of life on the planet, including the
dinosaurs. That catastrophic event,
enabled other creatures, namely
humans, to become the dominant lifeform.
In the movies alternate universe,
the comet misses (sorry, Mars?),
and the dinosaurs continue on their
evolutionary path right into a

CRAB
Continued from page 1
Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael; Sam
Farr, D-Monterey; and Lois Capps, DSanta Barbara, penned a letter to
Brown urging him to closely monitor
the levels of domoic acid attributed to
the bloom stretching along the West
Coast.
If the crabs dont flush out in time to
allow fishermen to provide for a hungry holiday market, the representatives urge Brown to ask the U.S. commerce secretary to declare a fishery disaster and quickly mobilize federal and
state resources, according to the letter.
After being financially punished by
a dismal salmon season this year,
these same fishermen are now looking
at no income from crab traditionally 50 percent of their income yet
having to pay for their licenses and
boat maintenance. If the season doesnt open soon, these men and women
deserve a financial lifeline. I urge the
governor to start preparing for a disaster declaration now, Speier said in a
press release.
Commercial
fisherman
Jim
Anderson, who works out of Pillar
Point Harbor and sits on the states
Dungeness Crab Task Force, said operations throughout the state are struggling. With drought-stricken streams
and rivers providing little leeway for
salmon to make the journey out to sea,
Anderson said between 70 percent and
80 percent of his business now relies
on the holiday crab catch.
If we dont go fishing or if people

John Wayne movie.


Fortunately, they didnt go the
cheesy route of having the dinosaurs
wear Stetsons, spurs and boots. And
even more fortunate, they scored Sam
Elliot (who holds the title of best
onscreen cowboy currently alive) in an
excellent voice role. What better way
to create a Western than to have him on
board?
The designers, artists and animators
have created some amazingly gorgeous
scenery and backgrounds. The landscapes, rivers, mountain ranges and
fields appear to be live film.
Oftentimes, this visual feast (along
with the soundtrack) evokes the feeling
of watching a 70 mm classic. You know
that spiritual stirring you get staring at
the world at Yellowstone or Crater
Lake? Nearly the same thing.
The story itself is nothing groundbreaking Dinosaur-boy-comes-of
age-after-terrifying challenge. Along
the way, he meets up with a great friend
(a Cro-Magnon boy named Spot),

clashes with a lot of antagonists, and


(spoiler alert) ends up wiser and
stronger.
This is perhaps the most childfriendly Pixar creation youll see. Its a
good balance to the more mature
themes covered in Inside Out this
past summer. As a parent and a parttime movie reviewer, I have been to
many of these types of kid flick screenings. I have never heard louder laughter
than during The Good Dinosaur.
And what else can we say about Pixar,
the studio that cannot seem to do
wrong? Surely putting out a second
movie in one calendar year for the first
time in its history was a careless, cynical money grab which would end up
diluting their brand with an inferior
product.
Nope.
Its a testament to the huge pools of
talent that Pixar has amassed (and
retained) over the years that they can
raise output with little to no suffering
of quality.

are afraid to eat the crab because of the


toxicity, it could be extremely helpful
to have them declare an [emergency,]
Anderson said. Weve been surviving
on crab season for a number of years
with the bad salmon season because
theres drought-related issues.
Anderson said crews plan to head out
this weekend to bring back Half Moon
Bay crabs to test as legislators will
meet Thursday and review the results of
statewide tests for the acid which
accumulates in shellfish and can cause
nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, short-term
memory loss, seizures and even in
some cases be fatal to humans, according to the Department of Fish and
Wildlife.
While no firm decisions have been
solidified, Anderson said it seems
unlikely the fishery will open unless
the entire state tests clean. During last
weeks tests, crabs pulled from Half
Moon Bay and San Francisco showed
safe levels of the toxin and only one
crab from Monterey had unsafe levels,
Anderson said.
Yet because the crustaceans move
where they might, it would be difficult
if not unsafe to only open portions of
the state for crabbing. Furthermore, if
only one district opened, then its
likely fishermen from afar would voyage to and overharvest the region,
Anderson said.
Another factor leading to numerous
unanswered questions is the lack of
data on how long it takes crabs from
certain areas to naturally flush out the
neurotoxin. Typically, crabs that eat
snails or plants take longer to clean
out the acid while ones that survive on
anchovies flush out quicker, Anderson
said.

Lawmakers note closing the entire


fishery for the season would be nearly
unprecedented and devastating to a
critical California industry.
The bloom is the largest and
longest lasting in at least 15 years,
and concentrations of domoic acid in
seawater, some forage fish and crab
samples have been among the highest
ever reported for this region, according to the letter.
Although
Californians
Thanksgiving celebrations may not
feature crab this year, we can at least
provide assurance that federal disaster
relief will be available to fishermen
and affected communities and businesses if we lose the fishery,
Huffman, who represents fishermen in
Marin County, including Bodega Bay,
said in a press release. We are keeping
our fingers crossed for improved conditions next month, but in the meantime we will be working closely with
our state and federal partners from
the governors office to the White
House so that we can respond quickly in the event of a total closure.
Anderson said theyre trying to
remain hopeful that crab will continue
to flush out and that they get even a
sliver of the holiday season. But ultimately, everyone wants to ensure the
fishery is reopened properly and only
after several weeks of clean tests.
We truly dont know right this
minute. Well run the tests over the
weekend and that pretty much will give
us a scenario of what were looking
at, Anderson said. But for the majority of the fleet, its just going to be a
very tough year if we either dont have
a decent fishery or if its closed.

These flood hazard
determinations may include the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood

report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for
the floodplain management measures that your community is
required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the
proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the
statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit
FEMAs website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call
the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at

any final action taken,
he/she may do so by contacting the City Clerk at
(650) 259-2333, to obtain
the appropriate form and
