Worker center to stay, for now

San Mateo City Council approves contract for day laborer site
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateos Worker Resource

Center will remain near the heart
of downtown for at least another
year and a half after the City
Council approved a contract to
support the nonprofit-run service
for day laborers.
Prompted in part by concerns
from a group of residents in the

Central neighborhood, city officials took a closer look at its

agreement with the Samaritan
House to run the center built on a
city-owned lot that is slated for
eventual redevelopment.
The
council
unanimously
approved at a meeting last week
continuing its contract to spend
nearly $262,500 over the next
year and a half to support the facility that connects day laborers with

employers.
I think the extension is a good
thing, I think the Worker
Resource Center is still needed,
Councilman David Lim said after
the meeting. I think people who
talk about it not being needed
dont remember how bad it was
before we had it there. And just as
a point of compassion, we as a
city are compassionate and we
want to do things to help our

neighbors. Its
good to offer
these services
and resources
to members of
our community.
Forming the
center was initially sparked
David Lim
by complaints
in the late 1990s and early 2000s

over the hundreds of workers who

would congregate on the streets
between downtown and Highway
101. Common reports included
public urination, litter, trespassing and traffic safety issues. With
minimal oversight, day laborers
were frequently taken advantage of
with little recourse when some
employers would refuse to pay

See CENTER, Page 20

One of the things that we certainly heard

from the climate experts is that we should
expect warmer weather and, even if we get
wet weather, its more likely to fall as rain
and less as snow.

Corporate housing practice ends

Several Redwood City apartment buildings ordered to stop short-term rentals
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

About 80 units at three new apartment complexes in Redwood City were

being rented as hotel rooms in violation of city code, officials learned after
a lengthy investigation.
Redwood City appears to be the
first (Bay Area) city to flag the issue
and issue cease and desist orders,
Assistant City Manager Aaron Aknin
reported on the citys website.

The units were approved as housing

but were being rented out for periods of
less than 30 days at 201 Marshall St.,
640 Veterans Blvd. and 333 Main St.
After the cease and desist orders were
issued, each of the corporate housing
providers investigated agreed to rent
the rooms out for a minimum of 30
days, according to Aknins report.
The investigation started after complaints came in that the units were
taken off the rental market to be used

Water agencys land purchase rattles farmers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLYTHE, Calif. The nations largest

distributor of treated drinking water became
the largest landowner in a remote California
farming region for good reason: The alfalfagrowing area is first in line to get Colorado
River water.
Metropolitan Water District of Southern
Californias play in Palo Verde Valley,
along the Arizona line, tapped a deep distrust between farm and city that pervades the
West over a river thats a lifeline for seven
states and northern Mexico.
Farmers recall how Los Angeles modern
founders built an aqueduct a century ago to
bring water hundreds of miles from rural
Owens Valley, a story that was fictionally
portrayed in Roman Polanskis 1974 film,
Chinatown.
Are we going to dry up our rural, agricultural communities just to keep Los Angeles,
San Francisco and San Diego growing? I
think it would be a sad state of affairs, said
Bart Fisher, a melon and broccoli farmer
who is board president of the Palo Verde
Irrigation District.
Metropolitan tried to calm nerves by
sending its chairman in September to a public forum in Blythe, 225 miles east of its
Los Angeles headquarters. It pledged to
honor a 2004 agreement that caps the
amount of land it pays farmers to idle at 28
percent of the valley.
That agreement, which expires in 2040,
is hailed as a model for farms and cities to
cooperate. Metropolitan pays farmers about
as much as they would profit to harvest
$771 an acre this year to bring foregone

Colorado River water on its 242-mile aqueduct to 19 million people in the coastal
megalopolis it serves.
Palo Verde enjoys Californias highest
rights to the river, making their immune to
drought.
The dynamic changed when Metropolitan
paid $256 million in July to nearly double
its Palo Verde holdings to 29,000 acres, or
about 30 percent of the valley. The agency
denied its purchase from Verbena LLC, a
company that bought the land several years
earlier from the Mormon church, was part of
an orchestrated plan.

Its made the farmers out there nervous

that we are the largest owner but there was a
strategic opportunity that came up,
Metropolitans general manager Jeffrey
Kightlinger said.
Metropolitan stirred similar angst this
month in Northern California when its
board expressed interest in buying farms on
several islands in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin River Delta. Its staff said the land
could provide water storage and wildlife
habitat.
Blythe, a riverside town of about 13,000
people in the Mojave Desert with two state
prisons, is an oasis of gas stations, motels
and fast-food restaurants on Interstate 10
between Los Angeles and Phoenix. Thomas
Blythe staked claim to the river in 1877,
beating Southern California cities under a
Gold Rush-era doctrine called first in time,
first in right.
Los Angeles and its suburbs founded
Metropolitan in 1928 to build the remarkably durable Colorado River Aqueduct.
Parker Dam and the reservoir it created in
Lake Havasu empties into a gray Art Decostyle building with nine pumps that quietly
pipe water 300 feet up a steep slope. Teal
metal cases that cover the pumps vibrate so
little that a nickel placed on top stands on
its side.
The water goes uphill through four more
pump stations and through tunnels, canals
and pipelines before reaching Southern
Californias coastal plain two days later.
The Colorados huge man-made reservoirs
have made the river an unheralded savior in
Californias four-year drought. Last year,
the river supplied two-thirds of the 1.7 bil-

lion gallons of drinking water that

Metropolitan delivers daily, up from a third
three years earlier.
The river sustains 40 million people and
farms 5 1/2 million acres, but white bathtub rings lining walls of the nations
largest reservoir in Lake Mead, near Las
Vegas, are evidence of shrinking supplies.
California took more than it was entitled to
until Sunbelt cities like Phoenix and Las
Vegas clamored for their share and forced the
nations most populous state to go on a diet
in 2003.
Its really the only supply of water to
this otherwise bone-dry region, said Bill
Hasencamp, Metropolitans manager of
Colorado River resources.
Metropolitan has diverted up to 118,000
acre feet of water a year from Palo Verde
since 2005, enough for about 250,000
households. It paid $3,170 an acre to farmers who committed for 35 years, plus an
annual fee for fallowed land. It idles 7 percent to 28 percent of the valley each year,
depending on its needs.
Jack Seiler, a grower who volunteered 900
acres, calls the agreement a poster child
for farms and cities to cooperate but
Metropolitans July purchase of nearly
13, 000 acres unsettled him. It gave
Metropolitan the largest voting bloc on
Palo Verdes water board.
Metropolitan says it wont have to pay
someone else to idle the land it now owns
and will lease it to farmers, cutting its net
cost to about $50 million. It voted for
incumbents in a September election to Palo
Verdes seven-member board, which
includes Seiler.

As crime rises in LA, community takes action

By Amanda Lee Myers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Eduardo Rebolledo had

just gotten into his pickup truck after work,
eager to head home to his two children when
a gang dispute erupted 30 yards behind him
on a Los Angeles street. The 38-year-old
ducked right into the path of a bullet that hit
him in the head, killing him instantly.
He was completely innocent. The guys
never even had a parking ticket, said
Detective Dave Peteque with the Los
Angeles Police Department. Hes just a
working Joe, a family man trying to support his kids.
In a split second, Rebolledo joined the
growing list of victims in the nations second-largest city, where murders are up 12
percent this year and shooting victims have
increased 20 percent. The city is also on the
cusp of recording its 1,000th shooting victim of the year.
After an especially violent weekend in
late September, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck
expressed his frustration about the bloodshed, particularly among gangs. This is
not Dodge City, Beck said, referring to 19
shootings in one weekend, 13 of which
were gang-related.
The increases come as redevelopment of
the citys downtown and nearby neighborhoods has attracted trendy new bars and
restaurants, thousands of new residents and
megaprojects that include a $1 billion
mixed-use hotel tower that will be the
tallest in the West.
In response to the rising numbers, the
LAPD has deployed hundreds of elite officers to crime hot spots, increased the num-

ber of officers walking the streets versus

patrolling in cars, and created a community
relationship division dedicated to building
the publics trust in police officers.
But Beck said his department cant solve
the problem alone.
A lot of it is public will, he said. A will
of everyone in the city of Los Angeles to
say, Enough is enough.
Members of the community say they
stepped up their own efforts when the crime
numbers started going up.
Rebolledos death, for instance, inspired
a peace movement in the neighborhood
where he was killed, said Michelle Miranda,
founder of Alliance for Community
Empowerment, a nonprofit that provides
services to disadvantaged young people,

including gang intervention.

Young people involved with Mirandas
organization decided to hold a peace march
on a recent Saturday in response to
Rebolledos death. More than 250 people
took to the streets wearing white shirts, carrying signs that included: We protest our
right to live in peace.
These are young people that know drugs
in the community and gang activity, and
theyre tired of it, Miranda said.
Miranda said the same youths who organized the march are working on more plans to
continue the peace movement.
At Good News Baptist Church in South
Los Angeles, the Rev. Winford Bell began a
program through his nonprofit group to
train members of the community how to
counsel family and friends of people
whove been murdered.
The idea for the so-called life comforters is to provide a safe outlet to vent
anger and sorrow, and wherever possible,
attempt to prevent retaliatory violence
common among gangs.
Dont get me wrong, hardcore gang
members are not going to hear me. Them we
cant do nothing with, Bell said. The
other ones who arent so hard, who arent
dedicated to being gang members ... If they
come, we can do a lot of work.
Los Angeles is among a number of major
cities across the U.S. seeing rises in violent
crime this year, including Baltimore,
Washington, D.C., Chicago, Cleveland and
Houston. Other California cities also have
seen increases, including Sacramento,
Oakland and Long Beach.
Though the numbers are up, those cities
are far safer than they were in the early

1990s during the crack cocaine epidemic. In

Los Angeles, for example, murders peaked
in 1992 at 1,092 people killed.
So far this year, there have been 251
homicides, compared to 225 during the
same time period last year.
Still, the LAPD is taking this years
uptick seriously.
Were not panicking, said Capt. Jeff
Bert, commanding officer of the departments strategic planning group. But we
are in the business of driving down crime so
when a crime spike goes up, were all over
it. It is a concern.
Its still too early to pinpoint whats driving the increased violence across the country and in Los Angeles, said Charis Kubrin,
a criminologist at the University of
California at Irvine who analyzes crime in
Southern California.
She said there could be a number of contributing factors, including easier access to
guns, the poverty rate, a new state law that
reduced penalties for certain crimes, and a
growing distrust of police, which can contribute to retaliatory violence.
If you dont see the police as a viable
option when you have a problem, then you
handle things on your own, Kubrin said.
The LAPD, all the way to the chief,
acknowledges that community trust in
police is wavering.
Restoring it will be the No. 1 way to turn
the crime numbers around, Bert said.
We make or break our success based on
our relationships, based on peoples willingness to talk about to police and based on
polices ability to get out of their car and
talk to people, Bert said. We cant arrest
our way out of this.

Donald Trumps call for a database to track Muslims in the U.S. is
one example, Cruz says. But he
refused to condemn the rhetoric of
another Republican who could help
him win Iowas leadoff caucuses,
Rep. Steve King, the influential

conservative who has described

immigrants living in the country
illegally as disease-ridden and
spent the weekend campaigning at
Cruzs side.
I cannot help the language that
others use, Cruz said in the interview. I can only help the words
that come out of my own mouth.
Taken together, they are remarkable statements for a conservative
firebrand who rarely, if ever, shows
signs of moderation. Yet in the
crowded
and
unruly
2016
Republican primary, Cruz is trying
to position himself as the grown-up
alternative to Trump and Ben
Carson, two inexperienced and
undisciplined front-runners who

have so far captivated their partys

most passionate voters by riding a
wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Carsons support appears to be
softening, and Trump is struggling
to explain with precision his exact
plans for increasing surveillance of
potential threats in the wake of the
Paris attacks. At the same time,
Cruz is ramping up his pitch and
trying to cast himself not just as an
outsider but an electable outsider
at a time of widespread mistrust of
Washington.
I do not believe either one of
them is going to be the nominee,
Cruz told the AP about Carson and
Trump. I am working very hard to
win every one of their supporters.

Cruz spoke to AP at the end of a

week in which Carson, who previously said he wouldnt support a
Muslim president, likened dealing
with some Syrian refugees to the
handling of rabid dogs and said
he would support government monitoring of any group deemed radical
and anti-American.
Having described Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals in his
announcement speech, Trump this
week said he would absolutely
support a mandatory database to
track Muslims in the U.S.
He later said he wanted a watch
list for Syrian refugees and surveillance of certain mosques.
To be sure, Cruz has reacted

After the snow, Midwest gets deep freeze

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A deep freeze set in across the

Midwest on Sunday with low temperatures forecast in the single digits and a
few below zero, turning the seasons
first major snow into ice that made some
roads treacherous to travel.
Temperatures plunged behind a cold
front that brought snow across much of
the region Friday and Saturday. The
National Weather Service forecast 20
degrees or lower across six states from
North Dakota to Illinois.
The weather service reported temperatures in the single- and low double-digits Sunday in northern Illinois, including

Chicago, where residents were digging

out of more than 11 inches of snow
the highest November total in 120 years
in the city.
More than 130 flights were cancelled
Sunday into and out of the OHare
International Airport in Chicago,
according to flight-tracking website
FlightAware.com.
In Minneapolis, dozens of people huddled around fires to stay warm at an
encampment outside a police station to
protest the fatal shooting of a black man
by
officers
there
last
week.
Temperatures hit a low of 17 degrees
overnight, and light snow was expected
to move in by Sunday evening.

The first snowfall of the season also

brought amounts ranging from a few
inches to 20 inches of snow from South
Dakota through Michigan earlier in the
weekend.
In the southern Wisconsin town of
Janesville, between 10 and 20 inches of
snow had fallen by late Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather
Service.
Southside True Value Hardware manager Matt Krienke said business had
been good in the days leading up to the
storm in the Janesville, but that it had
become very, very, very, very slick.

Syrias Assad may outlast Obama in office

By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Bashar
Assads presidency looks likely to
outlast Barack Obamas.
As the United States has turned
its attention to defeating the
Islamic State group, it has softened its stance on the Syrian
leader. More than four years ago,
Obama demanded that Assad leave
power. Administration officials
later said Assad did not have to
step down on Day One of a
political transition. Now, they are
going further.
A peace plan agreed to last weekend by 17 nations meeting in
Vienna says nothing about
Assads future, but states that free
and fair elections would be held
pursuant to the new constitution
within 18 months. To clarify the
timeline, the State Department
said this past week that the clock

starts
once
Assads representatives and
opposition figures begin talks
on a constitution. The vote
would determine
a new parliaBarack Obama ment, though
not necessarily
a new president.
Getting to constitutional talks
will be difficult. It implies that
Syrias warring parties first reach
a cease-fire and establish a transition government something
unattainable so far. Neither
Syrias government nor its fractured opposition has endorsed the
strategy yet or done much to
advance it.
Nothing can start before defeating the terrorists who occupy
parts of Syria, Assad recently
told Italian state television. Assad

considers anyone fighting him,

including moderate rebels, to be
terrorists.
Obama countered: I do not foresee a situation in which we can end
the civil war in Syria while Assad
remains in power. ... Even if I said
that was OK, I still dont think it
would actually work. You could not
get the Syrian people, the majority of them, to agree to that kind of
outcome. And you couldnt get a
number of their neighbors to agree
to that outcome, as well.
Syria was the focus for Secretary
of State John Kerry as he headed to
the United Arab Emirates on
Sunday for talks with government
leaders. Many more discussions
with Arab officials are planned
over the next months.
The uncertainty of the new peace
process, particularly as it pertains
to Assad, points to Washingtons
evolution from early in the civil
war, when Obama and other offi-

Federal lawyers to investigate

shooting death of black man
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS
U. S. Justice
Department attorneys are expected to fly to
Minnesota on Sunday to investigate the
killing of a black man that has prompted
protests and calls for the two Minneapolis
police officers involved in the shooting to
be prosecuted.
A key issue during their visit will be
whether authorities should release to the
public videos of the fatal shooting of 24year-old Jamar Clark a week ago.

Federal and state authorities have resisted

releasing the footage from an ambulance,
mobile police camera, public housing cameras and peoples cellphones because
they said it doesnt show the full incident
and making the recordings public would
compromise their investigations.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton said on
Saturday that he had asked Clarks family
and representatives of the Black Lives
Matter group protesting his death to meet
with the federal government lawyers and
that the footage be released.

cials boldly stated the Syrian presidents days were numbered and
sought his immediate departure.
The focus of Washington and
much of the world has shifted
now to IS, whose most recent
attack killed at least 130 people in
Paris on Nov. 13. As a result, the
U.S. is cooperating with Russia
and Iran, countries it once tried to
ostracize because of their support
for Syria.
The hope is peace between
Assads forces and moderate rebels
will allow everyone to work
together to defeat IS.
The U.S. and its allies say Assad
remains responsible for far more
Syrian deaths than IS. His military
has used chemical weapons and
continues to drop barrel bombs
that indiscriminately hit foes and
civilians alike.
But for all their brutality,
Assads forces are not directing
attacks in European capitals,

beheading American journalists or

downing Russian passenger jets.
Unlike IS, Assad has powerful
patrons in Moscow and Tehran.
Russian
airstrikes
since
September have helped stiffen the
Syrian governments defenses,
while Iranian forces and proxy
Hezbollah militants have added
muscle to its ground operations.
The U.S. is trying to take all
these considerations into account
as it refines a common strategy
with partners in Europe and the
Arab world that see Syrias conflict differently.
The Europeans are mostly concerned about the refugee crisis
across their continent, and they
fear more deadly attacks. Saudi
Arabia and others backing the
rebels want foremost to defeat
Iran, which they would see in
Assads downfall.
The U.S. says both sets of goals
are connected.

Brussels stays on high alert

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS With hundreds of

troops patrolling Brussels for a
second day and authorities hunting one or more suspected militants, the Belgian government
chose Sunday to keep the capital
on the highest state of alert into
the start of the workweek to prevent a Paris-style attack.
Citing a serious and imminent
threat, Prime Minister Charles
Michel announced that schools
and universities in Brussels will
be closed Monday, with the subway remaining shut down, preventing a return to normal in the
city that is also home to the
European Unions main institutions.
We fear an attack like in Paris,
with several individuals, perhaps
in several places, Michel said
after chairing a meeting of

Mali hotel attack aimed at peace talks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAMAKO, Mali The assault

on a luxury hotel in Malis capital
that killed 19 people was a clear
attempt to derail a fragile peace
process meant to stabilize the
countrys volatile north, a representative of northern separatist
groups said Sunday.
Halting peace negotiations
have been dragging on between
the central government and northern separatist groups for more
than two years in an effort to end
the disputes that turned large sections of the country into a haven
for radical Islamic militants.
The talks have shown some
promise in recent months. The
Radisson Blu hotel attacked by

two gunmen on Friday was preparing to host a meeting on implementing the latest accords.
The attack was targeting the
peace agreement, said Sidi
Brahim Ould Sidati, a representative of the Coordination of
Azawad Movements, known by its
French acronym CMA. The CMA
is a coalition of groups seeking
autonomy in northern Mali and
includes ethnic Arabs and Tuaregs.
The jihadis are in different
groups but their goal is the same,
and thats to hinder implementation of the peace accord, Sidati
said.
It was the secular separatist
groups that first wrested northern
Mali from the government in
2012, using weapons looted from

but they were soon overtaken by
al-Qaida-allied radicals.
In 2013, the French pushed the
Islamic extremists out of cities
and towns though they continue to
carry out attacks on U.N. peacekeepers.
The peace talks between the
government and the separatists
excluded the radicals, who have
spoken out against the negotiations, accusing participants of
betraying the populations desire
for independence.
The hotel attack was claimed by
the
Al-Mourabitoun
(The
Sentinels) radical group which has
links to al-Qaida. The groups
statement said attacks would continue.

highest of four alert levels, the

rest of the country remains on a
Level 3 alert, meaning an attack is
possible and likely.
Nobody is pleased with such a
situation. Neither are we. But we
have to take our responsibility,
Michel said.
A series of police raids in central
Brussels ended late Sunday, a government official said, speaking on
condition of anonymity because
the overall investigation was still
ongoing.
The situation was tense Sunday
night in the wider area around the
Grand Place, with police out in
force as several raids looking for
suspects were carried out. At one
point, security forces closed off
streets and yelled at people to stay
away.
It was still unclear what results
the raids had yielded. Prosecutors
scheduled a news conference for
just after midnight.
Western leaders stepped up the
rhetoric against the Islamic State

group, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris

that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more; the suicide
bombings in Beirut that killed 43
people and injured more than 200;
and the downing of the Russian
jetliner carrying 224 people in
Egypts Sinai Peninsula. All happened within the past month.
We will not accept the idea that
terrorist assaults on restaurants
and theaters and hotels are the new
normal, or that we are powerless
to stop them, President Barack
Obama said in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia.
French Defense Minister JeanYves Le Drian said IS must be
destroyed at all costs. We must
annihilate Islamic State worldwide
... and we must destroy Islamic
State on its own territory, Le
Drian said. Thats the only possible direction.
The decision to put Brussels on
the highest alert came early
Saturday.

World brief

But nowadays the Taliban say

they have mostly ceased the practice, while those selling forged
threat letters are doing a brisk
business as tens of thousands of
Afghans flee to Europe, hoping to
claim asylum.
Of the threat letters now being
presented to European authorities
by Afghans, Id say only one percent are real and 99 percent are
phony, said Mukhamil, 35, who
has forged and sold 20 such letters.
Like many Afghans, he has only
one name.
He sticks to a simple formula
accusing the buyer of working for
Afghan or U.S. forces and adds a
Taliban logo copied from their
website.
To this day I have only ever
known one guy who genuinely got
a threat letter from the Taliban. All
the rest are fake, he said.

Threatening letters from the

Taliban, once tantamount to a
death sentence, are now being

want to start a new life in Europe.
The handwritten notes on the
stationery of the so-called Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan were traditionally sent to those alleged to
have worked with Afghan security
forces or U.S.-led troops, listing
their crimes and warning that a
military commission would
decide on their punishment. They
would close with the mafia-style

no further responsibility for what

Guest perspective

Protecting the soul of downtown San Carlos

By Cameron Johnson

y in-laws were in town last

weekend, and as we strolled
down Laurel Street I took
special pride when they told me how
much they liked our downtown.
Our day included taking the kids to
storytime at The Reading Bug, eating
sandwiches at Gherkins and celebrating my wifes birthday at Gusto. You
can easily spend an entire day in downtown San Carlos enjoying time with
family and friends.
The character of our downtown is
dened by an eclectic assortment of
locally-owned businesses. Handmade
signs announce sales and daily specials, and owners greet you with a
smile. Some businesses are eccentric
and some are a little funky around the
edges, but they all contribute to a
downtown that feels comfortable, welcoming and uniquely San Carlos.
These businesses have a real stake in

our community.
They host charity
events, sponsor
local youth sports
teams and participate in our civic
life.
Our booming
local economy is
spurring new development and raising rents all over the
Bay Area. And when these conditions
conspire to displace small businesses,
the character of downtown changes.
More often than not, the businesses
standing in line to take their place are
national chains that are less invested
in our community and contribute little
to the local character. Imagine what
downtown would be like if San Remos
became a Spaghetti Factory,
Bianchinis became a Whole Foods,
The Reading Bug became a Borders and
Prairie become a Gap. Strolling down
Laurel Street would be an entirely different experience.

To help protect our downtown, Ive

proposed requiring a conditional use
permit and a public hearing for any
chain store that wants to lease a storefront. This does not ban chain stores
outright, but it provides the public an
opportunity to weigh in before any
new chain store can set up shop.
To give the city time to study and
implement such a change, Ive further
proposed a short-term moratorium on
new chain stores locating in the core
downtown. This moratorium will come
before the City Council for a vote
Monday, Nov. 23.
Making it harder for chain stores to
move in may depress rents a little or
make it take a little longer to ll an
empty storefront. But in the long term,
well hold on to something that is
becoming increasingly rare these days.
Well make sure our downtown stays a
unique place with character and soul.
Cameron Johnson is the vice mayor
of San Carlos.

Letters to the editor

We need a COLA
Editor,
I am writing to express my deep
disappointment in the recent
announcement that there will not be a
cost of living increase for Social
Security beneciaries next year. As
health care costs continue to rise, the
strain on seniors, like me, is becoming unmanageable, especially as previous cost of living adjustments
(COLAs) have failed to keep pace.
Though there is a growing movement in America to expand Social
Security, next years lack of COLAs
demands immediate action. Seventynine percent of likely voters
Democrats, Republicans and independents support expanding Social
Security benets and paying for it by
asking the wealthy to pay their fair
share. It is critical that Congress acts
now to maintain dignity for seniors
and people with disabilities by
addressing the lack of a cost of living
adjustment next year.
People like me are counting on it.

Refugees and gun control

Editor ,
In reading all of last weeks letters

deeply upset at the hypocrisy of some
of the writers.
How can people scream for the
closing of our borders to refugees,
citing concerns about the possibility
of them carrying out mass shootings
in malls and other public places, but

also write letters rallying against gun

control? Americans are the ones carrying out shootings in malls,
schools, etc. If you really care about
mass shootings, then do something
about gun control, not refugees.
The same holds true for the
Republican proposal of a Christianity
litmus test for refugees. How Christian
is it of you to deny help to the needy,
shelter to the homeless and food to the
hungry? How many American Muslims
have committed the gun atrocities of
recent years here as compared to good
American Christians? If you really
care about Christianity, act like you
actually believe in the bible. Hatred
and fear are not how a compassionate
society should act. Open your hearts,
open your doors, and open your minds
people. Refugees are our calling; guns
are our downfall.

Thanksgiving: A prayer
and a promise
Editor,
As we count our Thanksgiving blessings, may we take a moment to consider those who are less fortunate. Do we
dare look at the world today through
the eyes of the worlds children?
Imagine being a 6-year-old today in
Paris, Brussels, Beirut, Baghdad, Syria,
Israel, Palestine, Nigeria, Mexico,
Guatemala, El Salvador, or some of the
more troubled cities here in our own
country? Perhaps we can now pause and
consider and pray each in our own

hundreds of thousands of loving children stirs our conscience and encourages us to do our best to make a difference and try to work for a better
world.

The challenges
of youth today

evin Skelly, the new superintendent of the San

Mateo Union High School district, was formerly
the superintendent at Palo Alto Unied. One of his
daughters is a senior at Stanford but he doesnt regularly
attend Stanford football games. And he wont be rooting for
Stanford when they play Notre Dame the end of November
the one Stanford game he plans to attend. Hes a Notre
Dame fan (one of his sons is an alum) and hes Irish. In fact,
his parents were born and raised in Ireland. The family
moved to England where Skelly was born and then to
Roanoke, Virginia when he was 2 years old.
His dad was an electrical engineer, his mother a physical
therapist. Skelly admitted to
being an OK student but said
he was a very good athlete.
At one time, he was the
number one tennis player in
Virginia and an all-state basketball player. Hes thinking of opening up a gym for
local players in San Mateo,
where he and his family now
live. They have four grown
children.
Skelly began his career
working for a program serving talented students from
disadvantaged backgrounds
in Washington, D.C. He was
also a high school math and
Spanish teacher. He served
as principal at Saratoga High School in Santa Clara County
for 11 years. From 2004-2007, he was associate superintendent of the Poway Unied School District followed by
seven years as the superintendent of the Palo Alto Unied
School District.
As for his being just an OK student. Dr. Skelly graduated
from Harvard University with honors and a degree in economics and completed his Ph.D. in education policy and
administration at the University of California at Berkeley.
***
He seems the perfect match for the challenges and diversity of the high school district. Hes well aware of what youth
face today as a parent and as an administrator. High school
years seem so much more difcult today than faced by previous generations. Young people are smarter but there are so
many with so many talents, its hard to stand out. The competition is intense to get good grades and get into the
right school. For many, college has become unaffordable
unless they can obtain an athletic or some other scholarship. There are fears of going into debt and asking the family to sacrice too much. Students are expected to get top
grades, excel in sports and do community service with a passion. What they give up is peace of mind and sleep. Some
students get as little as three hours a night.
***
Nowhere has the pressure been so intense as in Palo Alto
where Skelly previously served. In the past 10 years, the
suicide rate for the citys two high schools is between four
to ve times the national average. Palo Alto, next to
Silicon Valley and Stanford, is a distillation of what elite
parents expect from a school. All the emphasis on excellence puts a tremendous cost on vulnerable students. Some
cannot deal with pressure from parents. This is not a subject
the superintendent wished to discuss. It has been well aired
in a recent Atlantic Monthly article: theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/12/the-silicon-valley-suicides/413140/.
***
The district has two promising new initiatives Skelly is
pushing. And one has to do with starting school later at
8:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. Thats the starting time recommended by The American Academy of Pediatrics and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now the 8 a.m.
start is to accommodate football practice after school before
it gets dark. Lighting stadiums would solve the problem.
Most of the competing districts have lighted elds. But
neighbors object to the lights and noise. Hopefully, Aragon
and Hillsdale residents will be more exible if the district
lowers the noise and sound systems.
Perhaps an easier sell is relocating Peninsula Alternative
High School from the former Crestmoor High School site in
the San Bruno hills to Rollins Road. This space is currently
being used by Design Tech charter high school which will
likely be moving to Oracle next year. The site, owned by
the county Ofce of Education, is close to transportation
and Skelly is even thinking of adjusting the hours to better
t the needs of these students. Crestmoor could then be used
for much-needed teacher and staff housing while leaving the
elds available for San Bruno residents. That would remove
the sticking point which has stymied district attempts during the past 20 years to develop the site. The neighbors
keep their elds and Peninsula students get the location they
deserve and need.
Maybe with the luck of the Irish, Skelly and the school
board can succeed in one if not both of these initiatives.

High-speed rail project gets boost

By Michelle Rindels

said Steve Hill, director of the

Governors Office of Economic
Development.
Las Vegas-based XpressWest has
been working since at least 2005
to secure the complicated government clearances it needs to build a
185-mile rail line between Sin
City and Victorville, a city east of
Los Angeles in Californias high
desert. The planned, zero-emissions train would at least halve the
travel time between the two cities,
down to 80 minutes, and would
cost less than $100 round-trip.
Eventually, the line would
extend 50 miles west to Palmdale,
where it would connect with metro
lines and the future California
High-Speed Rail line stretching
north to the Central Valley.
Proponents say it could divert 25
percent of car traffic off Interstate
15 and onto the rails, potentially
saving 8.5 million gallons of gas
each year.
Efforts to finance the $8 billion

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARSON CITY, Nev. A project to link Las Vegas and Southern

California with a high-speed train
got a boost this week when the
newly formed Nevada High-Speed
Rail Authority approved an exclusive relationship with long-suffering XpressWest.
The panels move Wednesday to
select the company as a franchisee
and sideline other futuristic yet
far-fetched transportation concepts floated to the group adds a
layer of government legitimacy to
the endeavor that could help it
attract investors and get closer to
breaking ground. But with no state
dollars attached, the decision
doesnt directly address the projects most glaring missing link
billions of dollars.
Obviously the biggest obstacle is still funding and this decision doesnt affect the funding,

endeavor suffered a major setback

in 2013, when the government
stopped considering a $5.5 billion loan to XpressWest. Part of
the holdup was that the planned
railroad didnt use enough
American-made products a difficult task because, generally, all
bullet trains are made overseas.
Republicans in Congress also
raised concerns that the train
wouldnt make enough money to
repay the loan.
Now, the stalled project could
get new life through a partnership
with a Chinese firm that was
announced in September. While
the company has said it has $100
million in initial capital, its not
clear how much money in total the
partnership would bring, and officials at the railroad declined an
interview request.
Getting the rail authoritys
blessing Wednesday cant hurt,
especially among investors in
China, where governmental

approval carries even more

weight.
It sends a strong message to
them that its a serious project,
said transportation strategy
expert Tom Skancke.
Critics have been skeptical that
Southern Californians would drive
their cars to a station well outside
Los Angeles, then take a train that
leaves them car-less and cabdependent in Las Vegas. But proponents believe it will open up a
flow of tourism thats currently
limited by bottlenecks on
Interstate 15. They say people
should take a long view on the
project.
It took 50 years to build the
interstate highway system. It was
built in segments and phases and
miles, Skancke said. It will go
to L.A., but It wont go to L.A. in
phase one.
XpressWests project comes
against the backdrop of a pricey
and increasingly unpopular high-

speed rail project in California,

which is partly funded by $10 billion in bonds taxpayers approved
in 2008. The project is facing lawsuits and is behind schedule, and
the price tag has ballooned to $68
billion, driven by the complex
task of boring tunnels through
earthquake fault-laden mountains
in Southern California.
But in Nevada, taxpayers will
have no financial skin in the game
if XpressWests plan flops. The
states rail authority has no
money to give, although it could
help facilitate bonds if another
government entity spearheads an
effort.
XpressWest told lawmakers this
spring that it wants to be a privately funded venture, meaning it
wont have to convince the legislature or Congress. However, it
will need to sell the dream of zipping through the desert at 150
mph to a wide-enough base of
investors.

Utilities see potential in drones to inspect lines, towers

shop to help nearly a dozen utilities choose the best machines for
the job. Miniature helicopter-like
drones, some equipped with cameras and other sensors, conducted
demonstration inspections of
transmission lines at a hydroelectric plant in the Catskill
Mountains.
We want to start using drones
next spring when the inspection
season begins, said Alan Ettlinger,
research and technology director for
the New York Power Authority, who
attended the workshop.
Utilities spend millions of dol-

BLENHEIM, N.Y. U.S. utilities see great potential in the use

of remote-controlled drones to do
the often-dangerous work of
inspecting power lines and transmission towers but strict regulations have so far slowed adoption
of the technology.
The remote-controlled devices
make the work of linemen safer,
more efficient and less expensive,
according to the Electric Power
Research Institute, which last
month put on a three-day work-

lars inspecting power lines,

which are often in hard-to-reach
places. The industry has been
interested in the potential use of
drones for years, but has been
slower than European companies
to adopt the technology because
of U.S. regulatory restrictions.
While hobbyists can fly drones
without certification, the Federal
Aviation Administration requires
special certification for commercial users. There are numerous conditions and limitations: The drone
operator needs a pilots license,
the aircraft must weigh less than

55 pounds, flights can go no more

than 200 feet above the ground,
and the drone must be operated in
the pilots line of sight.
The FAA treats the operation of
drones like any other aircraft for
safety reasons and commercial
operators face strict rules for getting permission to use them,
according to the agency.
Seven U.S. utilities have been
granted FAA approval for testing
drone technology in 2015.
Consumers Energy in Michigan
conducted a series of tests over the
summer using its own eight-rotor

drone and unmanned aerial vehicles

operated by outside vendors to
inspect wind turbines, utility poles
and transformers. The utility is part
of a UAV task force under the Edison
Electric Institute, the association
representing U.S. investor-owned
electric companies.
When you look at the amount
of information we can gain to

Warriors win 15th straight

Golden State ties all-time mark for best start in NBA history
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER Whos counting? The Golden

State Warriors certainly are. The wins are piling up, and theyre moving closer to NBA
history.
But theyre focused not so much on a number as winning in general.
Klay Thompson scored 21 points and the
Warriors tied the best start in league history,
beating the Denver Nuggets 118-105 on

Sunday night to move to 15-0.

Golden State matches the start of the 194849 Washington Capitols and the 93-94
Houston Rockets. The Warriors can break the
record Tuesday night at home against the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Its kind of a quiet confidence that we
dont feel like were going to lose anytime
soon, Stephen Curry said. The way were
playing ... we can get even better.
Thats a scary thought for a Warriors team
that just surpassed the 57-58 Boston Celtics

for the best start by a defending champion.

Its a huge accomplishment, Curry said
of their blistering start. Obviously, coming
off a championship and taking care of business 15 straight times to start the season
couldnt ask for a better start.
As good as it gets right there until
Tuesday anyway.

M-A, NDB repeat as CCS champs

Bears batter Scots
to claim D-I crown

Tigers take down

Menlo for D-IV title

By Terry Bernal

By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

What a fitting preface it was to MenloAtherton volleyball repeating as Central

Coast Section Division I champions.
With five championship matches being
held Saturday at San Joses Independence
High School, the match preceding M-As was
the CCS Division III title game, featuring a
Valley Christian takedown of Sacred Heart
Cathedral in four sets. Valley Christian just
happens to be helmed by former M-A head
coach Ron Whitmill, who led the Bears to
last years D-I crown.
So, after the postgame celebration of Valley
Christian gave way for M-As pregame warmups, Whitmill took a stroll by the Bears sideline to wish his former players well.
It was so much fun to see him, M-A junior Kirby Knapp said. It was really motivational. It was cool his team won too.
And just as they did during Whitmills
three-year tenure as their coach the Bears
responded. With first-year coach Fletcher
Anderson now running the show, No. 3-seeded
M-A (24-7) took down Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division rival No. 5 Carlmont
(27-9) in straight sets 25-14, 27-25, 25-17 to
claim its second straight CCS Division I title.
The win was a reckoning of sorts for M-A,
after splitting the two-match season series
with Carlmont. In the final regular-season
matchup between the two, the Scots swept to
hand the Bears their only loss in PAL Bay
Division play over the past two seasons.
And, boy, was it a source of motivation heading into Saturdays rubber match.
This rubber match was huge for us,
Anderson said. These girls wanted to win.
They wanted to get them back. And I was
rooting for [Carlmont] to win their semifinal
so we could rematch.
The Bears staked their claim to victory by
virtue of two key four-point runs. M-A

Notre Dame-Belmont has been here before

just last year, in fact.
But when the top-seeded Tigers (28-10)
took No. 2 Menlo to four sets Saturday at
Independence High School for a 25-18, 1725, 25-19, 25-15 victory in the Central Coast
Section Division IV championship game,
Notre Dame junior setter Kristine Gese was
noticeably more aglow than her teammates.
While Gese was on the team for last years
D-IV title run, she served as the Tigers backup setter and didnt see any playing time in the
2014 championship game. This year, Notre
Dames starting setter produced 26 assists to
fuel a relentless offensive attack.
This is amazing, Gese said. For me, its
more emotional because I actually played in
the game.
Geses most consistent outlet was outside
hitter Katie Smoot. The junior has been one of
the most fearsome terminators in San Mateo
County this season, and shouldered the Notre
Dame attack with a match-high 24 kills.
Smoots dominance was clear from the outset. In Game 1, as Gese opened with a threepoint service run including an ace right off the
bat, Smoot followed with the first two kills of
the match. The 6-1 Smoot went on to record
seven kills in the opening set, including a
crusher off the Menlo block to give the Tigers
the lead for good at 8-7.
It was Smoots early showing that led to
Notre Dame head coach Jen Agresti instructing Gese to continue feeding the hot hand.
That was my talk with the setter, was get it
to her until they stop her, Agresti said.
The Knights (22-7) never were able to stop
her. They contained her for a bit, which
allowed Menlo to swing the advantage for a
win in Game 2. With the set deadlocked at 1010, outside hitter Mia Vandermeer produced
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL three straight blocks to give the Knights the

Menlo-Atherton senior middle Courtney Foliaki scores one of her five match kills to help the
Bears claim a 25-14, 27-25, 25-17 win Saturday in the CCS Division I championship match.

Punchless Raiders Gators rule CCS water polo

drop 3rd straight
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

By Noah Trister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders are falling

behind in a forgiving race for an AFC playoff spot.
Carr was held to 169 yards passing and Amari Cooper managed only one reception as the Raiders lost 18-13 to Detroit on
Sunday. Oakland remains within striking distance of a wild
card, but the Raiders have dropped three in a
row and looked inept offensively during a
scoreless first half against the Lions.
That just cant happen, Carr said. We
cant do that to our defense.
The Raiders (4-6) finished with 214
yards and 13 first downs, both season
lows. Their only touchdown came after an
interception by Carr was negated by a
defensive holding penalty. Oakland led
Derek Carr
13-9 before Detroits Matthew Stafford ran
for a 5-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders gave up a safety with 7:31 remaining when
Donald Penn was called for holding in the end zone. The Lions
took the ensuing free kick and ran out the remaining time.
Oakland hasnt made the playoffs since the 2002 season,
when the Raiders went to the Super Bowl. They now trail
Buffalo (5-4) by 1 1/2 games for the last wild card in the AFC,
with the Bills playing Monday night. Oakland can certainly
remain in the mix for a postseason spot with a strong finish,
but the Raiders dropped a winnable road game Sunday.
Just not in sync, not operating the way we expect to
operate. We had two delay of games, just not showing
awareness of the clock, coach Jack Del Rio said. Just a
little off in some of those situations.
Oakland had only 91 yards of offense in the first half and
trailed 9-0 after two quarters. The Raiders scored early in
the third on a 1-yard run by Latavius Murray. That 80-yard
drive nearly ended when Carr was intercepted, but a holding call on defensive back Nevin Lawson allowed the
Raiders to keep possession.
Sebastian Janikowski made field goals of 48 and 56
yards in the third, but Staffords touchdown put the Lions
(3-7) back ahead.
After a penalty on a punt forced the Raiders to start at their,

Flacco out for year

with a knee injury

BALTIMORE Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco

will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his knee.
The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter of Sundays
16-13 win over the St. Louis Rams. Ravens coach John
Harbaugh said Flacco tore at his ACL and I think, his MCL
as well, but did not disclose which knee.
Flacco has never missed a game since starting the season
opener in 2008. His run of 122 straight starts will end next
week.
He played the final series Sunday despite being injured
and moved the offense to set up the winning field goal by
Justin Tucker. Flacco went 27 for 44 for 299 yards.
The Ravens also lost running back Justin Forsett, who
broke his right arm.

McCaffrey helps No. 15 Stanford run past Cal
STANFORD Christian McCaffrey ran around and
through the California defense on a 49-yard touchdown
catch and also scored on a 98-yard kickoff return to help No.
15 Stanford clinch a spot in the Pac-12
championship game by winning the Big
Game 35-22 on Saturday night.
McCaffrey ran for 192 yards and gained
a school-record 389 all-purpose yards in
another highlight-reel performance that
gave the Cardinal (9-2, 8-1, No. 11 CFP)
their sixth straight win over the Golden
Bears (6-5, 3-5).
Remound Wright ran for two short
Christian
touchdowns and Bryce Love added a 48McCaffrey
yard scoring run for Stanford, which
clinched the Pac-12 North with the win. The Cardinal will
play the winner of next weeks game between UCLA and
Southern California for the Pac-12 title on Dec. 5 in Santa
Clara.
But before that, the Cardinal host No. 5 Notre Dame next
week in a game that could boost their playoff chances that
looked dire after last weeks loss to Oregon.

Once again, Sacred Heart Prep is the

center of the Central Coast Section
water polo universe.
The SHP boys team beat rival
Menlo School in the championship
game for the third straight year, 11-8,
for its fifth straight CCS crown. The
SHP girls team won its unprecedented
ninth straight CCS Division 2 title
with an 11-5 win over St. Francis at
Independence High School Saturday.
The SHP and Menlo boys met in the
finals for the ninth time Saturday and
for the third time in a row, the Gators
proved to be the better team. After
falling behind 2-1 in the first period,
No. 1-seed SHP (22-7) scored four
answered goals to take a 5-2 lead after
the opening seven minutes. The
Gators maintained their three-goal
advantage for the rest of the game.
Sacred Heart is an immensely wellcoached team, said Menlo coach Jack
Bowen in a press release. You just
cant afford to spot them three goals
early. We played even with them for

three quarters but that lapse in the first

quarter hurt us.
If Bowen was not, literally, a
philosophist, the constant losing to
his schools main rival would drive
him crazy. But not surprisingly, he
was philosophical after the loss.
The sting of losing a game like this
dwindles immensely when you recognize your team literally came out all
season and all game playing their
best, Bowen said. Menlo did this
[Saturday]. I couldnt be more proud.
SHP took a 1-0 lead on a Jackson
Enright strike, but second-seeded
Menlo (18-12) got goals from Miller
Gesecke and James Thygesen to take a
2-1 lead. SHPs Alex Tsotadze tied the
match at 2 on a penalty shot and
Andrew Churukian gave the Gators the
lead for good with his goal at the 3:36
mark of the first. Finn Banks scored
the next two goals to give the Gators a
5-2 at the end of the first.
Tsotadze led the Gators with four
goals and an assist, while Banks
scored three times and dished out two
helpers of his own. Enright and Larsen

Weigle rounded out the scoring for the

Gators with a goal apiece.
Weigle was a defensive force, coming up with a game-high four steals.
SHP goaltender Alexander Nemeth also
had a hand in the victory, stopping 14
Menlo shots.
Menlo was led by Geschke, who
scored three times and assisted on two
others. Untrecht, only a freshman who
made huge contributions all season,
finished with two goals and an assist,
while Niko Bhatia, Chris Xi and
Thygesen each scored once. Menlo
goaltender Tiago Bonchristiano finished with seven saves.
In the girls championship match,
the top-seeded Lady Gators got a balanced attack and a stifling defense to
beat the second-seeded Lancers. St.
Francis, which has been in the
Division 1 bracket the previous seven
seasons, was the team the Gators beat
in 2007 to begin their current run of
dominance.
It is SHPs fourth win over the

SEATTLE Against one of the top

defenses in the league, Blaine Gabbert
showed flashes of why San Francisco went
ahead with benching Colin Kaepernick.
But those positive moments lacked the
consistency for San Francisco to take down
the Seahawks on a day Seattle started to
look more like the team that has won two
straight NFC titles.
Gabbert threw for 264 yards and a touchdown, but San Francisco couldnt overcome
an early 20-0 deficit or slow down Seattle
rookie running back Thomas Rawls in a 2913 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Rawls rushed for 209 yards, the most
yards rushing ever allowed by the 49ers. San
Francisco was ready for a Seattle run game
led by Marshawn Lynch, not an undrafted
rookie from Central Michigan.
Gabbert will be the 49ers starter going forward after the decision to place Kaepernick
on injured reserve on Saturday. After winning
in his first start, Gabbert had his moments
against Seattle, especially at the end of the
first half when he led the 49ers on a 92-yard
touchdown drive just before halftime.
But up until the point Gabbert hit Vance
McDonald on a 19-yard touchdown, the 49ers
had done nothing offensively and created far
too big a hole to overcome on the road.

Kaepernick surgery was mutual decision says Baalke

By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE The decision for 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to have season-ending
surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder was
a mutual decision between the QB and the team,
general manager Trent Baalke said Sunday.
Speaking before the 49ers game in
Seattle, Baalke said Kaepernick consulted
team doctors and received a second opinion

before the decision for surgery was made.

This was something they felt from a
medical standpoint it needed to be taken
care of and addressed through surgery,
Baalke said. Which, obviously, if he has
surgery, hes not going to be able to play.
So moving him to IR is the natural move.
Baalke said he expects Kaepernick to go
through offseason recovery with the team
and said any belief the former starters stint
with the 49ers was over was unfounded.

I wouldnt say that at all. I think people

are reading into that. For me, where we
stand right now, I wouldnt read too much
into that right now, Baalke said.
The 28-year-old Kaepernicks $11.9 million 2016 contract would become fully
guaranteed for injury if hes still on the roster on April 1. Because of that, many
already figured Kaepernicks time with the
Niners (3-6) might be done after what so far
has been a forgettable season.

Sharks win
6th straight
By Robert Denhard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio Joe Pavelski scored

twice and the Sharks rallied late for a 5-3
win over the Columbus Blue Jackets for
their sixth straight victory Sunday night.
San Jose won its seventh straight road game
by completing a perfect
six-game trip. Patrick
Marleau had a goal and an
assist, and Brent Burns
and Brenden Dillon also
scored. Joel Ward added
two assists and Alex
Joe Pavelski Stalock made 28 saves.
Ryan Johansen, Boone
Jenner and Cam Atkinson scored for Columbus.
Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 24 saves.
Columbus led 3-1 after Atkinsons goal
1:23 into the third, but the Sharks stormed
back with help from several key offensive
zone faceoff wins. They took the lead by
scoring three times in a 7:02 span, including Dillons go-ahead score with 6:45 left.
Pavelski started the rally at 6:13, with a
long redirection between Bobrovksys legs.
Burns pulled San Jose even, one-timing a
cross-ice feed from Ward at the left circle for
his eighth and third in two games. Dillons
seeing-eye shot from the blue line made it
past a screened Bobrovksy.
Pavelski scored his 12th into an empty
net with 1:16 remaining.
Despite being road weary and having
played on Saturday night in Pittsburgh, the
Sharks had more than enough energy in the
first period. They seemed to catch Columbus
off guard with their speed, and they didnt
shy away from the rough stuff, participating
in two fights 4 seconds apart.

In Game 4, Byrne who totaled
just six match kills found another
way to produce as, after a side-out
gave Notre Dame an 8-7 lead, the junior went on a seven-point service run.
I dont have the toughest serve,

but I feel like I go on runs when its

needed, Byrne said.
Notre Dame libero Katarina
Warburton does have the Tigers
toughest serve, and proved it with
seven match aces. She set the tone
early with three in the first set,

Outside hitter Leanna Collins led

M-A back from the abyss in the pivotal Game 2 comeback. The senior
who scored a match-high 12 kills
enjoyed a strong opening set
with five kills. But she was having
trouble getting going in the second
set, until she produced a clutch
block to close Carlmonts lead to
24-21. The senior followed that
with two consecutive kills off the
right side as M-A closed it to 24-23.
Shes was on fire, Knapp said.
M-A sophomore Lauren Heller
tied it at 24-24 with one of her four
match kills. Then after Carlmont
forced its fifth set point on a kill by
senior middle Alexis Morrow, the
Bears rallied for three straight
points with a kill from Heller, an ace
from
junior
libero
Alexa
Roumeliotis and a Carlmont misfire
into the net to end it.
It was just a question of how bad

we wanted that set, Collins said. I

think the momentum carried over
into the third set.
Game 3 was dominated by M-A
middle blocker Courtney Foliaki at
the net. The senior produced three
blocks to keep the Scots attack at
middle net in check. Scots outside
hitter Maya McClellan kept it
close; the sophomore matched
Collins with a match-high 12 kills,
five of which McClellan scored in
the third set.
I just told her Im proud of how
much shes grown over the course of
the year, Crader said. Shes a
leader on the team and shes one of
our go-to players. And thats pretty
cool being a go-to player on a CCS
championship [finalist] as a sophomore.
After a McClellan kill closed MAs lead to 16-13, however, the
Bears went on a 9-4 run to end it.

including back-to-back aces to give

Notre Dame a 22-14 lead. It was a
defining element of the match,
according to Smoot.
That helps us a lot because
missed serves are the biggest
momentum killer, Smoot said. So
when she started putting the ball in
that game, it gave us a lot of energy
and just got in their heads.
Tigers senior middle Jess Beering
added 10 kills and three blocks,
while junior opposite Mavis Lui
added eight kills. Menlo senior
Maddie Stewart produced a teamhigh 12 kills.
The two teams are projected to
meet again in the second round of

Kyle Busch completes comeback to win 1st Cup title

By Jenna Fryer

team radio.
He won the season finale Sunday
night
at
Homestead-Miami
Speedway to claim the title, and
knocked Kevin Harvick from his
perch as reigning champion.
Busch also denied Jeff Gordon a
fifth crown in his final race.
Gordon said before the season

started hed retire after this race.

Harvick finished a distant second, Gordon was a mediocre sixth
and Martin Truex Jr., the fourth
driver in the championship field,
finished 12th.
You always want to win, but
Ive learned not to be greedy,
Harvick said after his 12th second-

place finish of the year cost him

the championship.
There was a strong sentimental
push for Gordon to go out on top
in his final race. But he was only
average all season, and that didnt
change Sunday night in front of a
huge contingent of friends and
family that included Formula One
champion Lewis Hamilton and
Mario Andretti, who both sat atop
his pit box at the start of the race.
Gordon led nine laps early in the
race and was third for an early
restart but he bobbled it and plummeted to eighth. That was about as
good as hed be the rest of the race
as he struggled mightily with the
handling
of his
Hendrick
Motorsports Chevrolet.
Gordon eventually made his way
to victory lane to congratulate
Busch, who began his career as
Gordons teammate at Hendrick
Motorsports. Temper tantrums and
wrecked race cars led to his release
before the 2008 season, and Busch
has been chasing a Cup championship ever since.
All hes been through this year,

world. Its a difficult task, said

Nikola Jokic, who had 11 points
and 11 rebounds. In some parts of
the game we could defend them and
in other parts no. I mean they just
need 3, 4 minutes and theyre up by
15 so we need to play defense all
the time.
Thompson hit a 3-pointer with
2:08 remaining in the second
quarter and Golden State never
trailed again. The reserves built
up a sizeable lead and allowed
Curry to rest the entire fourth
quarter. He had 19 points, the first
time this season he didnt reach
20.

Darrell Arthur had 21 points for

the Nuggets, whove lost three
straight. Kenneth Faried was sidelined by a sprained left ankle.
Harrison Barnes scored seven of
his 17 points in the third quarter
to allow the Warriors to gain some
separation. This was the way
things went for the Warriors in the
third: Festus Ezeli missed a wideopen dunk and it wound up in the
hands of Curry, who drained a 3pointer.
When the Warriors played in
Denver last March, they rested
Curry & Co. That didnt sit well
with fans who were expecting to see

the sharp-shooting guard.

Resting wasnt an option this
time. Not so close to an NBA
record.
Whether or not we get it, it really doesnt affect our ultimate goal
of trying to win a championship,
said Walton, who picked up a technical in the third quarter. It would
be something nice to get along the
way.
Walton said head coach Steve
Kerr (back surgery) is doing better. Said Walton: He gets really
sick of being asked that question.
So Ive stopped asking it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Kyle

Busch opened the season in a hospital bed and ended it in victory
lane with the championship trophy.
Busch completed the ultimate
comeback Sunday night by winning his first career Sprint Cup
title just nine months after a serious crash at Daytona nearly ended
his season. He crashed into a concrete wall the day before the
Daytona 500 and broke his right
leg and left foot.
Despite multiple surgeries and
grueling rehabilitation, Busch
missed only 11 races and was back
in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in
late May. NASCAR granted him a
waiver to race for the championship if he earned a berth in the
playoffs, and Busch was off and
running.
I dont know if I quite understand life yet, but theres something to be said about this year,
an emotional Busch said on his

nobodys more deserving than

him, Gordon said of the new
champion.
Truex, the underdog driving for
single-car team Furniture Row
Racing, also didnt have enough
in his Chevrolet to contend
despite a handful of gutsy pit calls
the team used out of desperation.
That made the championship
race a two-car battle between
Busch and Harvick, and the outgoing champion simply didnt have
enough for Busch.
Busch was headed toward the
title via a second or third-place
finish in the race when NASCAR
called a caution for debris with 11
laps remaining. Team owner Joe
Gibbs pumped his fists in frustration, but Busch remained calm in
the car. The field headed to pit
road, Busch asked for an adjustment, and was second on the
restart with seven laps remaining.
He worked his way past leader
Brad Keselowski to claim the lead,
then Busch pulled away and handily beat Harvick to the finish line
by 1.553 seconds.

Penn was flagged for holding Ziggy Ansah in the end zone, and
the safety made the score 18-13.
We did a lot of soul searching, because we were one of the best
defenses in the NFL last year and we werent close to that this
season, Detroit defensive lineman Jason Jones said. We knew
we needed to get ourselves back to that level, and I think weve
done that in the last couple weeks.
After a free kick, the Lions drive into Oakland territory, and
Joique Bell ran for a key conversion on third-and-3 from the 19.
After the 2-minute warning, Bell broke free for an 11-yard run
that allowed Detroit to kneel out the rest of the clock.
Cooper was targeted four times and caught only one pass.
I think they tried to roll up on him a little bit. He ended up
having just one ball. He dropped a couple, Del Rio said.
Obviously, hes a good player for us. We need to find ways to
get him more involved. For him to come out of a game with one
catch, weve got to do a better job there.
Matt Prater made field goals of 29, 41 and 51 yards for the
Lions. The last kick came in the final seconds of the second quarter. Stafford completed a 36-yard pass to Calvin Johnson on
third-and-15 to put the Lions in range.
Detroit made it to the Oakland 1 on its first possession of the
game before being pushed back by a holding penalty and settling for a field goal.
NOTES: Detroits Golden Tate had eight receptions for 73
yards and Johnson made five catches for 88 yards. ... Raiders C
Rodney Hudson (ankle), RB Taiwan Jones (knee) and CB Keith
McGill (ankle) were injured during the game.

Last Hunger Games opens to $101 million, a franchise low

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Mockingjay

Part 2, the final Hunger
Games film, soared to a $101
million opening in its first weekend in theaters, according to
Rentrak estimates Sunday. For
most films this would be a coup,
but The Hunger Games had its

own records to beat, and this sets a

new low for the four-film franchise.
The series starring Jennifer
Lawrence kicked off with a bang in
March 2012 with a massive
$152.5 million weekend one of
the highest openings of all time.
Catching Fire, the second film
in the franchise, one-upped that

odays question comes from a loyal

reader. Should I give my dog real
bones, and what are your thoughts
on cooked versus raw bones? When I was

with a $158.1 million debut in

November 2013.
Lionsgate split the final book
in Suzanne Collins trilogy into
two films, following the precedent of Twilight and Harry
Potter.
Mockingjay Part 1 opened
on this weekend last year to
$121.9 million, considered at the

a kid, we gave our dog bones from the

butcher, Mancinis Meats in San Bruno.
And, Ginger loved them. The bones were
such a high-value treat, we couldnt get
near her those rst few days with the new
bone. Our shelters veterinarians do not
recommend giving real bones.
Complications arent common, but can be
deadly. Worst-case scenario is that the
bone splinters and causes a perforation
within the intestinal tract, anywhere from
the throat to the rectum. When the intestinal tract ruptures, its incredibly painful,
will spread intestinal bacteria throughout
the animals system and could be fatal
before an owner realizes whats happen-

time to be a necessary and expected dip, while fans awaited the final
installment, which, if it mimicked
Twilight or Harry Potter,
would have snared the second
highest (if not highest) opening
in the series.
With that perspective, a franchise low for the final Hunger
Games film, which cost a report-

ing. Surgical repair may be close to

impossible. A less serious but more likely
scenario is that the dog breaks a tooth.
This is as painful for them as it would be
for us. And, getting the tooth extracted
could cost several hundred dollars.If the
owner doesnt notice (or cant afford
extraction) and the tooth remains, it could
abscess and the infection could spread into
the surrounding jawbone. Several bad
things can happen from one ignored broken tooth. Some people will suggest giving raw bones instead of cooked bones.
The idea is that cooking a bone dries it
out, which makes the bone harder and easier to break teeth or splinter. However, raw

ed $160 million to make, was a bit

of a surprise. Lionsgate, however,
is not disappointed.
Its a great accomplishment.
The overall franchise has grossed
over $2 billion worldwide and
counting, said David Spitz, copresident of theatrical distribution
for Lionsgate. Its a pretty phenomenal result.

bones can still splinter and are a huge risk

for spreading bacteria, especially salmonella. Ive also heard the idea that dogs
need to eat bones because thats what
they do in the wild. But, dog food is formulated to provide the nutrients that chewing a bone would provide; from a nutritional standpoint, bones arent necessary.
There are many healthy options for dogs
who want to chew; different toys and treats
and methods of doing things, like putting
treats in the freezer.

Entertainment brief
People hid in dressing room during Paris attack
Two members of the Eagles of Death Metal band said several people hid in their dressing room during the deadly terrorist attack in Paris last week. The U.S. band was performing at the Bataclan theater on the night of Nov. 13 when
jihadi militants killed 130 people and wounded more than
350 others at several locations in Paris. Hughes says that
the killers were able to get into the dressing room and killed
almost everyone with the exception of one person who

Clinton proposes tax break for caregivers

By Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLINTON, Iowa Pledging to

invest in the caring economy,
Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed
a new tax break Sunday for people
caring for aging parents and
grandparents.
The Democratic presidential
candidate touted her latest proposal at a town hall-style meeting in
Iowa Sunday.

Tax credit
She is seeking a tax credit to
help offset up to $6,000 in caregiving costs for elderly family
members. The credit would apply
to 20 percent of those expenses
for a maximum tax bill savings of
$1,200.
We need to recognize the value
of the work that caregivers give to
all of us, both those who are paid

and the great

number who are
un p a i d,
Clinton said to
the crowd of
more than 400
people gathered
at a middle
school.
The caregiver
Hillary Clinton
proposal
is
part of a series of tax proposals
geared at the middle class that
Clinton is rolling out. In her plan,
Clinton states that the number of
Americans needing long-term care
is expected to grow from about 12
million today to 27 million by
2050. She says that family members often have to take time away
from work, using vacation time or
personal time to provide care.
The lost wages and the work
that is sometimes given up are
costing families especially
women who make up the major-

reported.
In addition to operating this building in
violation of the citys zoning, please be
aware that this wrongful conversion from
residential to a hotel or lodging use for
transient purposes undermines important
City Council initiatives. A variety of policy documents articulate the City Councils
vision and direction to bring housing to
downtown and to the community which is
affordable to a variety of income groups,
according to the cease-and-desist letter
sent to the corporate housing providers.

ity of both paid and unpaid caregivers, said Clinton.

Social Security
The former secretary of state is
also seeking to provide additional
Social Security benefits to those
who spend time out of the workforce to care for immediate family.
She wants to enhance support for
care workers and increase funding
for a program that offers statelevel grants to programs for caregivers. Clintons campaign says
the plan would cost $10 billion
over 10 years and would be paid
for through other revenue increases.
In Memphis on Friday, Clinton
touted a tax credit of up to $5,000
for families and $2,500 for individuals she proposed earlier this
year. Americans with out-of-pocket health care expenses exceeding
5 percent of their income would be

Short-term rental providers such as

Airbnb are considered separate from corporate housing and city policy, Aknin reported.
You can still find units listed on Airbnb
and other short-term vacation rental platforms throughout Redwood City. Although
the impacts can be overlapping, the city
sees this as a separate and distinct policy
issue from corporate housing. Airbnb units
are typically listed by the primary longterm resident, which is different from a corporate housing company renting units
directly to a corporation (a business to
business transaction). The city is currently
developing regulations for Airbnb units,
and expects the City Council to review
these regulations in early 2016, Aknin
wrote in the report.

eligible for the credit. Her campaign says the tax cut will be funded through tax increases on
wealthy families and by demanding rebates from drug manufactures.
Clinton says that she is the
only primary candidate committed
to holding current tax rates on
average workers. She has accused
primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders
of promoting programs that she
says would raise taxes on middleclass families, including his plan
for a single-payer health system
based on Medicare.
Sanders campaign says that his
single-payer health system would
save taxpayers money in the long
run because it would eliminate
wasteful health spending. Sanders
spokesman Michael Briggs criticized Clintons tax proposals
Sunday in a statement, calling
them tentative half-steps that
sound Republican-lite.

Nation brief
Despite oil bust, Texas preps
more students for oil jobs
HOUSTON The oil industry is
mired in its latest bust, with thousands of jobs evaporating like
flares flaming out over natural gas
wells. But in Texas, education officials are preparing more young
people for the oil patch, showing
the states unshakeable commitment to the energy sector despite
the employment uncertainties.
The Houston school district is
planning to expand its Energy
Institute High School to around
1,000 students by 2017 and inaugurate a new 110,000 square-foot,
$37 million facility. The threeyear-old institute is the nations
only high school fully specializing in oil and energy careers.
In the oil-rich Permian Basin,
two Midland high schools have
begun petroleum academies.
And state officials have
approved vocational classes in oil
production.

CENTER
Continued from page 1
after work was completed. So after citizens and the city studied options, the
Worker Resource Center was opened in
2003 at the corner of Fifth and
Railroad avenues.
Dozens of workers, often San Mateo
residents with experience in construction or landscaping, gather at the center in search of employment. Yet some
opt to remain on the streets and have
elicited complaints from neighbors as
well as inquires as to whether it was
worth city funds to keep the center
afloat.
Todd Murtha, a more than 12-year
Central neighborhood resident, said
the center was created to help alleviate
the problems and questioned why the
city would continue to pay as fewer and
fewer workers now use the facility.
The neighborhood was viewed as a
primary beneficiary of the Worker
Resource Center, we were one of the
reasons it was created, Murtha said
during the meeting. While we feel its
appropriate to help these individuals,
its unfair the impacts of providing

WATER
Continued from page 1
means to capture storm water, more
must be done to ensure a sustainable
future, Gordon said.
One of the things that we certainly
heard from the climate experts is that
we should expect warmer weather and,
even if we get wet weather, its more
likely to fall as rain and less as snow,
Gordon said, noting the average temperature in the Sierra Nevada last winter was just 32 degrees. Weve had
these cycles of climate change over a
millennium and we are now certainly,
it would appear, in a period where as
you look at the graphs, our temperatures are rising. They predict that will
be our future for the next several
decades.
Longer periods of drought have
occurred throughout the centuries, scientists say, and they anticipate more
extreme climate changes over the next
100 years. A new period can have
tremendous effects on a variety of
species and industries. As the large
state is highly dependent on snowpack
and importing drinking water, Gordon
said its time to consider cutbacks as
well as new technologies.
The largest desalinization plant in
the Western Hemisphere is slated to
come online in Carlsbad in the near
future and is expected to sell at least

that help is falling on just one neighborhood.

Samaritan House representatives
noted some of the complaints stem
from the homeless population downtown. The Community Relations
Commission discussed the contract in
August and also recommended San
Mateo continues to provide its land as
well as financial support to keep the
center open.
Reyna Sandoval, who recently came
on board to manage the center, said
theyre striving to improve the facility, reinstate English classes and connect with workers on the street in an
attempt to relocate them indoors.
These workers really need this center. For most of them, this is pretty
much all they have; this is their livelihood, their sense of community and we
do protect them, we make sure their
best interest is taken into account,
Sandoval said.
Several residents spoke at the meeting with varying viewpoints. Josh
Hugg, a member of the Sustainability
Commission and 16-year resident of
the neighborhood, said theres been a
vast improvement since the center
opened as fewer workers line the
streets and many are receiving care.
James Wayne, another longtime

Central neighborhood resident, said

hes sympathetic but feels its a waste
of money as attendance has declined.
Regardless of the arguments, the
city will have to consider whether to
shift the center elsewhere in the near
future.
As part of the councils action, it
directed the Community Relations
Commission to work on considering
future options for relocating the center
as the current site was purchased with
former redevelopment agency funds
and could be turned into housing.
Lim said he would support any
efforts to find a new location and, during the meeting, said he tended to side
with Carlos Chavezs sentiment.
Chavez, a retired San Francisco
County employee who now volunteers
at the center, said he and other members of his congregation bring food
and moral support. The center is more
than a worthwhile expense, Chavez
said.
This is a human issue. Its not a statistic, its not economics. These are
humans, they have families, they have
children, Chavez said to the council.
I appeal to your human kindness,
leave aside the economics and the politics, just look at another human
being.

48,000 acre-feet of water annually,

according to a committee report.
Ocean desalinization is considered a
more secure option as it doesnt rely
on rainfall, however, Gordon noted
several hurdles to expanding operations.
Constructing facilities is extremely
costly as is the immense amount of
energy required to force the water
through a membrane filtration system.
Theres also the question of what to do
with the leftover brine a highly
concentrated salty material that must
be disposed, Gordon said.
Environmental impacts must also be
managed to reduce the amount of aquatic life and organisms that are captured
when pulling in large amounts of
ocean water, Gordon said.
Desalinization uses an awful lot of
energy so its very expensive,
Gordon said. Managing the environmental issues is a cost factor and energy is a cost factor.
Considering recycled water on a
grander and yet smaller scale is another option to diversifying sources. One
idea could relate to new building codes
or ways to promote reusing water on
site. For example, instead of having
storm water filtered at a large plant,
homes can be constructed with more
permeable surfaces or a system that
reuses water from a dishwasher or
washing machine to water landscape,
Gordon said.
These are some of the things technology is helping us understand,

Gordon said.
Another consideration is how to
maximize wet weather and capture rainfall. While many are hopeful El Nio
will provide some relief, the state isnt
fully equipped to capture much of the
rainfall, Gordon said.
Often, options to promote a more
sustainable and diverse water portfolio
are costly. Gordon noted that although
the committees recommendations
wont directly affect the recently
passed $7.5 billion water bond, for
which funding has already been outlined, it does have similar provisions.
Interestingly, the current water
bond does envision a portfolio
approach, because theres money in
the water bond for storage, for conservation, for recycling activities,
Gordon said.
The committee will meet in
December for a focused discussion on
desalinization and again in January to
consider recycled water, Gordon said.
Unable to predict what exact recommendations come out of the special
Assembly group, Gordon said one
thing is for sure conservation is
key.
Many have adhered to Gov. Jerry
Browns landmark mandates for residents to cut back a cumulative 25 percent, but consistent efforts must coincide with adapting to climate change,
Gordon said.
If drought is potentially our new
normal, then conservation is also our
new normal, Gordon said.

ProjectDescription: The San Francisco Police Credit Union
New Administrating Building Project includes the construction
of a three-story, 67,586-square-foot (sf) office building, with a
two-level subsurface parking on a 1.7-acre site located at 1250
Grundy Lane, San Bruno, California. The office building would
serve as the San Francisco Police Credit Union new administration building and would include a large reception area, work
stations, meeting rooms, a small retail credit union branch, a
staff lounge, a training room, a break room, and 16,560 sf of
future office expansion or lease space.
A total of 168 parking spaces would be included in the two-level subsurface parking garage 82 on the upper level and 86
on the lower level. In addition, the proposed project includes 47
spaces of surface level parking. The project is anticipated to
accommodate the current staff of the existing SFPCU, as well
as future employees in relation to future growth in the next ten
years. The total number of employees expected at full capacity
would be approximately 210. The environmental analysis contained in this IS/MND is based on the maximum employment
projection of 210 employees. The necessary entitlements being considered by the City of San Bruno include a Planned Development (P-D) Amendment, Planned Development Permit,
and an Architectural Review Permit.
Public Review Period:  Notice is hereby given that a Draft
MND has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City, as lead agency, has
elected to provide a 30-day public review period for the MND
beginning on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 and ending on
Wednesday, December 23, 2015 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15105. The Draft MND and supporting documents are available for public review at the City Clerks Office,
as well as the Community Development Department, located at
567 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066. An electronic copy
of the MND is available for viewing at the following website address:
https://sanbruno.ca.gov/gov/city_departments/commdev/planning_division/current_planning/development_activity/1250_gru
ndy_lane.htm
It should be noted that the project site is not listed on any of
the lists of sites enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the
Government Code including, but not limited to lists of hazardous waste facilities, land designated as hazardous waste property, and hazardous waste disposal sites.
Written comments on the Draft MND will be accepted during
the 30-day public review period commencing November 24,
2015 and ending December 23, 2015 at 5:00 PM. Written comments on the Draft MND should be directed to:
