City tackles affordable housing

Council OKs impact fees, increasing number of affordable units downtown, accessory dwelling unit rules
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Redwood City Council pushed several

initiatives Monday night to boost the construction of affordable housing.
The council moved forward with requiring
developers to pay impact fees for the construction of new residential and commercial
development.

It boosted the number of affordable housing units to be constructed downtown from

250 to 375 and moved to relax the rules for
home owners to build accessory dwelling
units.
It also authorized staff to negotiate with
Airbnb to collect and remit transient occupancy taxes from Redwood City residents
who rent out rooms short term through the
online portal.

So far, no residents from the city have

come forward to pay the hotel tax, Aaron
Aknin, the citys assistant city manager,
said at Monday nights council meeting.
Airbnb has hundreds of listings in
Redwood City.
The city intends to use the new revenue
toward constructing affordable housing
which would make it the first in the state to
do so, Aknin said.

Most of Monday nights agenda was related to affordable housing, including a special study session held prior to the regular
meeting when the council discussed building a 100 percent affordable housing project downtown at 707 and 777 Bradford St.,
two parcels the city owns.
The study session was held as about 100

As grueling as it was to extinguish

one of the states worst fires in history
that ravaged thousands of homes in
Lake County in September, many residents and communities are just beginning to piece their lives back together.
A group of local firefighters is now
seeking support as they purchase and
assemble 250 bikes to help ease the
devastation for the children who were
affected by the Valley Fire.
Personnel from the San Mateo Fire

Department are teaming up with representatives from the Middletown

Rancheria of Pomo Indians of
California, a tribal council based in
Lake County, to offer assistance to
those whose lives and property were
devastated last month.
San Mateo firefighter Andy Martinez
said assisting others in their time of
need is what the profession is about.
So in seeking a way to assist after the
Lake County fire, which ravaged nearly 1,300 homes, he was asked to help
hundreds of kids in need.
Working through the departments

Toys for Tots program, Martinez said

theyre striving to raise nearly
$30,000 to buy hundreds of new bicycles and helmets for children whose
families were left with little, if anything at all. Theyll also be hosting a
build-off Oct. 31 at Station 21, where
theyll assemble the bikes before
theyre taken north and given out at
the reservations event center Nov. 6,
Martinez said.
Its going to be cool. Im sure itll

From kung fu to California cops:
Nunchucks make comeback
SAN FRANCISCO Sgt. Casey Day
was skeptical. The chief of his rural
Northern California police department
wanted him to find out if an ancient
martial arts weapon made famous in
1970s Bruce Lee movies could be used
to subdue unruly suspects.
But it only took a few days of training with nunchucks to win over Day.
The weapon two solid sticks of plastic attached by a foot-long nylon cord
was recently added to the Anderson
Police Departments arsenal.
The department of 20 sworn officers
about 200 miles north of San Francisco
joined several other U.S. law enforcement agencies that use nunchucks as
less than lethal weapons 20 years
after their popularity peaked.
Day says the weapons have the
impact of traditional night sticks but
also allow trained officers to quickly
bind wrists or ankles to control a suspect without violence.
Its a two-for-one weapon, Day
said, adding that its also easier to carry
than a long night stick.
Law enforcement agencies were moving to adopt nunchucks in the 1980s,
including police departments in San
Diego and Los Angeles that used them
to help break up chaotic protests at
abortion clinics.
But the weapons started to fall out of
favor after the LAPD agreed in 1991 to

spokesman for the agency didnt return
a call seeking comment.
Orcutt estimates about 100 departments across the country have an officer certified to train others to use
nunchucks, but he is not sure how many
officers carry the weapon these days.
He says he hasnt sold many of them
in recent years but is hoping to branch
out beyond police departments to prisons and airline security.

Sales slumped significantly once
departments began buying Tasers in the

to Kevin Orcutt, who says hes the only
nunchucks maker for U.S. law enforcement agencies.
The Taser slowed everything down,
he said.
He provides three days of training

teach others in their agencies how to
use nunchucks.
Orcutt said he hopes to spark renewed

Research company cited for poor care of animals

San Carlos facility performs surgical experiments on dogs, calves
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A San Carlos company that performs surgical experiments on dogs and other animals has been cited by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture for several offenses including
letting them die in pain and being housed in
enclosures with excessive accumulation of
feces and urine.
TB Holdings on Bing Street was inspected
Aug. 27 by a veterinary medical officer who
found that some of the dogs the company
had experimented on had open lesions and
scabbing, others had dental problems and
others had difficulty moving.
The offenses are violations of the Animal
Welfare Act. The U. S. Department of
Agriculture oversees the health and wellness
of the animals used in biomedical testing.

On Tuesday, a national watchdog group

called for the USDA to levy the maximum
fine against the company.
Michael Budkie, executive director of
Stop Animal Exploitation Now, or SAEN,
sent a letter to the USDA Monday urging it
to consider the company a repeat offender of
the Animal Welfare Act.
The company came under fire in 2014 for
testing chemical products and medicine on
dogs, especially beagles because of their
size and temperament.
The USDA report does not detail what
breed of dogs TB Holdings was testing,
however. Officials with TB Holdings could
not be reached Tuesday.
The Sept. 17, USDA report cites TB
Holdings for denying euthanasia to a calf
that was breathing abnormally. Another calf
was denied pain relief after surgery, while

other calves are described as soiled over

the right hind leg and feces were noted in its
otherwise empty plastic feeder. Most of the
flooring surfaces were affected, thus the animals were unable to avoid exposure to their
excrement.
It is clear that the staff of this facility are
unable to perform even the most basic procedures which are part of animal husbandry
such as cleaning enclosures, providing veterinary care, etc., Budkie wrote in the letter
to the USDA.
He questions whether the companys work
has any scientific merit considering how
the animals were discovered.
TB Holdings is a preclinical contract
research organization specializing in medical device testing. It provides surgical
services, medical device testing and pharmaceutical product development.

University of California unveils plan to curb climate change

By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Reducing the human carbon

footprint is a moral imperative, University
of California President Janet Napolitano said
Tuesday as she vowed to turn the systems 10
campuses into a living laboratory for solutions that can be scaled up to state, national
and global levels.
Napolitano made the comments at a twoday climate change summit at UC San Diego,
where researchers discussed their blueprint
for actions that they say the state and the

world should undertake to tackle the problem

including reducing the carbon footprint of
the wealthiest 1 billion people.
The plan will be presented at next months
landmark climate change conference in Paris.
UC officials say global warming could be
slowed dramatically by reducing greenhouse
gases such as methane emissions by 50 percent and black carbon by 90 percent over the
next 15 years. The wealthiest need to cut
back dramatically, while green energy needs
to be made more available to the poorest 3
billion people, the plan says.

help foster change. Addressing these challenges and reducing our carbon footprint is a

that the university system is on track to meet
its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2025.
I anticipate that by 2025, when the
University of California is carbon neutral,
that the rest of the world in seeking climate
solutions will say, Well, lets go back to
2015 when they had that summit at UC San
Diego and lets see if we can do what the
University of California did, said

Woman, two juveniles

arrested in string of auto burglaries

Target security officer pleads

no contest to stealing electronics

Pacifica police arrested two male juveniles

and a Pacifica woman Monday night in connection with a string of auto burglaries in the
Fairmont and Manor areas of the city.
Officers were called to the 200 block of
Beachview Avenue around 9:40 p.m. Monday
on a report of a possible auto burglary in
progress, police said.
The caller provided suspect descriptions and
a direction of travel, and officers were able to
detain three suspects on foot a short distance
from the scene.
The suspects were identified by a witness
and police said they found evidence in their
possession linking them to a number of auto
burglaries in the Fairmont and Manor areas.
Two male juveniles were arrested and then
released to their parents.
A 21-year-old Pacifica woman, Robin
Costales, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, petty theft from an unlocked vehicle, possession of stolen property, criminal conspiracy and contributing to the delinquency of a
minor. Costales was booked into the San
Mateo County Jail.
Police are continuing to investigate the
burglaries and ask anyone who may have been
a victim to contact them at (650) 738-7314.

A security officer at a Colma Target store

pleaded no contest on Monday to grand theft
for stealing thousands of dollars worth of
electronics from his employer, prosecutors
said Tuesday.
Alex Nguyen, 26, of Daly City, entered the
plea in the courtroom of Judge Leland Davis in
exchange for a sentence of no more than 90
days in jail, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Office. He is
scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 3.
Nguyen was working as a security officer at
the Target store when in February managers
noticed numerous thefts of electronics happening on Thursdays the only day Nguyen
was working.
In March, after a thorough inventory of
merchandise in the electronics department,
the managers set up a second security camera.
That camera captured Nguyen lifting himself
to the ceiling and disabling the first camera,
prosecutors said.
Despite the first camera being turned off,
footage from the second camera showed
Nguyen returning later to turn the first camera
back on.
Other Target security officers followed

before, President Barack Obama on Tuesday
said the men and women who risk their lives
to provide security are wrongly scapegoated for failing to deal with broader problems
that lead people to commit crimes.
Unemployment, poor education, inadequate drug treatment and lax gun laws are not
the responsibility of police officers,
Obama said in remarks to the International
Association of Chief of Police, which held
its annual meeting in the presidents
Chicago hometown.
He blamed the news medias tendency to
focus on the sensational for helping to
drive a wedge between police officers and a
public they take an oath to protect and
serve. He called for rebuilding the trust that
once existed between them.
Obama delivered his speech amid a roiling national debate about officers treatment of potential criminal suspects following the deaths of unarmed black men in New
York, Missouri and elsewhere by police.
Too often, law enforcement gets scape-

goated for the broader failures of our society

and criminal justice system, the president
said. I know that you do your jobs with distinction no matter the challenges you face.
Thats part of wearing a badge.
But we cant expect you to contain and
control problems that the rest of us arent
willing to face or do anything about, he
said.
Obama also sought to avoid making the
debate about police against communities.
I reject any narrative that seeks to divide
police and the communities that they serve
I reject the story line that says, when it
comes to public safety, theres an us and
them, Obama said. He said its a narrative that too often gets served up to us by
news stations seeking ratings, or tweets
seeking retweets, or political candidates
seeking some attention.
Obama opened his remarks with a tribute
to slain New York City police officer
Randolph Holder as hundreds of officers
streamed into his wake. Holder, 33, died last
week after being shot in the head by a man
he and his partner were chasing. The officers had responded to a call of shots fired
and a bicycle stolen at gunpoint. A suspect
is in custody on charges of murder and rob-

his ability to go far in the competitive

and still unsettled Republican field.
Beyond his outsider status, Carsons
appeal comes largely from his identity
as a mild-mannered physician with a
measured approach to the rough-andtumble of politics. Regular references
to Nazis and slavery, his advisers suggest, could threaten to obscure his
larger message as a man with the temperament to quell the acrimony of
Washington.
It is not a (deliberate) strategy,
said Carsons communications director, Doug Watts, pointing specifically
to Carsons decision to use the

the U.S. shouldnt enact tougher gun

officials for mismanaging public funds, and
raising concerns regarding how the missteps may harm the districts future financial health.
The Measure J citizens oversight committee presented its annual report Thursday,
Oct. 29, to the South San Francisco Unified
School District Board of Trustees, criticizing the various mistakes of officials on
overspending the bond by $11 million.
Officials have since transferred the necessary money to fill the spending gap, which
was discovered by an independent auditor,
but the oversight committee remains concerned more financial difficulties are still in
store for the troubled bond.
The road ahead for the remaining
Measure J projects is by our account going
to be very difficult and there is no clear indication that even the districts own funds will
properly offset the shortfall from Measure J
funding, according to the report.
John Sanna, president of the oversight
committee who helped author the report,
said he believed the misspending could have
been avoided had officials not worked to
cloak their questionable methods.
We feel we were misled, Sanna said.
Had we been given the proper information,
we would have seen the trends.

superintendent Alejandro Hogan were named

in the audit report released in June as the
officials responsible for laying the groundwork for the ill-advised spending plan,
while ensuring there would be as little oversight of their methods as possible.
There were mistakes made, and other
mistakes were used to cover up those mistakes, said Sanna.
The committees report claims officials
intentionally impeded efforts of the citizen oversight group to get the information
they needed to properly serve as watchdogs
of the way public money was being spent.
Requests for information by the
[Citizens Bond Oversight Committee]
either as a whole and/or by individual committee members, were regularly and repeatedly delayed or ignored by district management, according to the report. The CBOC
was stonewalled, when information was
requested regarding specificity of expenditures.
Since the audit initially illustrated the
misspending, Superintendent Shawnterra
Moore has been hired and has pledged a
commitment to deliver all the projects initially promised through the bond.
District spokesman Ryan Sebers said in
an email the administration noted the concerns raised by the oversight committee,
and has instituted policies designed to correct the mistakes made previously.
The CBOC shared a few additional comments based on past events, however, all
parties have agreed to move forward in a
mode of greater transparency, Sebers said.
Sanna said he has been underwhelmed by
the lack of response the administration and
the Board of Trustees has given to the issues
addressed by the oversight committee.
The oversight committee has not been
granted necessary financial information to
ensure there are sufficient funds in the district budget to complete the rest of the construction projects promised under the bond,
said Sanna.
Ongoing bond construction at Buri Buri
Elementary School has slowed in recent
weeks, said Sanna, and with rainy weather
expected in the coming months, he doubts
whether the current phase of building at the
campus will be finished on time as previously promised.
Delays in the construction process can be
costly, said Sanna, which could cause the
district to spend the money remaining in
the bond fund faster than anticipated.
Whatever is left of the bond money is
quickly getting swallowed, he said.

Sanna said officials transferred $11 million from the general maintenance fund to
backfill the bond spending shortfall and
suggested such a maneuver might harm the
districts ability to pay for emergency
repairs.
A third and final phase of construction is
slated to improve the Buri Buri Elementary
School campus further, as well as address
Los Cerritos, Sunshine Gardens and Martin
elementary schools. That phase is supposed
to begin in the spring, but the report claims
there may not be enough money to pay for
all the projects promised under the bond.
It is now clear that the actions by management has resulted in the district not
being able to complete all of the projects
and the district is unable to meet its votermandated obligations outlined in Measure J,
as the funds are no longer available,
according to the report.
The bond oversight committee is granted
no authority to control bond spending, and
may only review expenditures approved by
district officials. New policy has been
implemented since the audit was released
which requires the board to approve any
change order made to the original bond
spending plan, as a safeguard against mistakes made previously.
Since Scotts position was eliminated by
the district, there has not been a new bond
director hired, said Sanna, and Assistant
Superintendent Michael Krause has been
charged with overseeing its management.
The audit identifies the turnover of district
staff as part of the reason the bond fell into
financial difficulties.
There needs to be interim oversight,
said Sanna. But that costs money that they
probably now dont have.
As the district regroups and attempts to
move forward, the oversight committee
claims it does not have adequate faith,
authorization or information, according to
the report, to ensure the bond money was
spent responsibly.
[Citizens Bond Oversight Committee]
reporting is supposed to ensure and inform
the community that the CBOC is confident
that the district has properly and prudently
manages its tax dollars, according to the
report. At this time it is very difficult if not
impossible for the CBOC to indicate a sufficient level of confidence in the financial
reporting to make this determination.

U.S. home values and

rents defying global slowdown
WASHINGTON U.S. housing appears to
be insulated so far from the cooling global
economy.
Home values and rental prices are steadily
rising, fueled by strong demand and a tight
supply of available properties, a pair of
reports Tuesday showed. The solid demand
drove sales growth early this year and
spurred additional construction.
The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20city home price index climbed 5.1 percent
in the 12 months that ended in August a
level many economists view as more sustainable than the sharp double-digit gains at
the start of 2014.
And in September, median rents nationwide rose a seasonally adjusted 3.7 percent
from a year ago, according to real estate data
firm Zillow.

budget deal with the White House.

No shutdown, no default
Congress leaders, Obama back deal
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Striving to end a cycle

of crisis, congressional leaders and the
White House united Tuesday behind an
ambitious budget and debt deal aimed at
restoring a semblance of order to Capitol
Hill and ending the threat of government
shutdowns and defaults until well after a
new president takes office.
The outgoing House speaker, Republican
John Boehner of Ohio, prepared to push
the deal through his unruly chamber on
Wednesday as his last act before departing
Congress at the end of the week.
All but forced to resign under conservative pressure, Boehner was nonetheless
going out on his own terms. The budget
deal stands as an in-your-face rebuttal to
his hardline antagonists, on Capitol Hill
and off, who angrily oppose spending
increases
and
compromises
with
Democratic President Barack Obama.
They seethed but acknowledged they

GM recalling 1.4M cars; oil

leaks can cause engine fires
DETROIT General Motors issued its
third recall in seven years for cars that can
leak oil and catch fire, in some instances
damaging garages and homes.
The recall, which covers 1.4 million vehicles dating to the 1997 model year, is need-

ed because repairs from the first two recalls

didnt work. More than 1,300 cars caught
fire even after they were fixed by dealers, the
company said.
A valve cover gasket can degrade over
time, allowing oil to seep out. Under hard
braking, oil drops can fall onto the exhaust
manifold and catch fire. Flames can spread
to a plastic spark plug wire channel and the
rest of the engine.

Senate passes bill to push

sharing of info on hacker threats
WASHINGTON The Senate passed a bill
Tuesday aimed at improving cybersecurity

such a program.
The Cybersecurity Information Sharing
Act passed by a 74-21 vote. It overcame
concerns about privacy and transparency

The Senate rejected amendments, including one addressing concerns that companies
could give the government personal information about their customers.

complaints, declaring that he intended to
make good on his promise to leave a

of Wisconsin, who is set to get the GOP
nomination for speaker on Wednesday and
win election on the House floor the day
after that.
I didnt want him to walk into a dirty
barn full of you-know-what. So Ive done
my best to try to clean it up, a goodhumored Boehner told reporters after a
closed-door
gathering
of
House
Republicans, his last such weekly meeting
after nearly five years as speaker and a
quarter-century on Capitol Hill.
During the meeting, Republican lawmakers had a parting gift for Boehner: a

Boehner told them he had a gift in return:

Defense secretary says U.S.

is retooling fight against IS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Signaling a possible

escalation of U.S. military action in the
Middle East, Defense Secretary Ash Carter
said Tuesday that the United States is retooling its strategy in Iraq and Syria and would
conduct unilateral ground raids if needed to
target Islamic State militants.
The U.S. has done special operations raids
in Syria and participated in a ground operation to rescue hostages last week in northern Iraq that resulted in the first U.S. combat
death in Iraq since 2011. Carter did not say
under what circumstances the U.S. might
conduct more ground action, but said, Once
we locate them, no target is beyond our
reach.
We wont hold back from supporting

capable partners in
opportunistic attacks
against ISIL, or conducting such missions directly, whether by strikes
from the air or direct
action on the ground,
Carter said, using an
acronym for the militant
group.
Ash Carter
Carter and Marine Gen.
Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, testified before the Senate
Armed Services Committee. Republicans
harshly criticized the Obama administrations strategy in Syria and Iraq, where IS
militants have captured large swaths of territory and have largely fought the U.S.-led
coalition to a stalemate.

U.S. officials: Iran invited

to next round of Syria talks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Iran has been invited to

participate for the first time in international talks over Syrias future, U.S. officials
said Tuesday, a shift in strategy for the
United States and its allies as they seek to
halt the four-year civil war and eventually
ease President Bashar Assad out of power.
Iran has yet to reply, the officials said.
The next diplomatic round is expected to
start Thursday and continue Friday in
Vienna, with Secretary of State John Kerry,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

and several top European and Arab diplomats attending.

Washington had held out the possibility
of Iran joining the discussions in future, but
is only now offering Tehran a seat after days
of behind-the-scenes negotiation, particularly with its regional rival Saudi Arabia.
Russia extended the invitation.
The United States is taking a gamble. Iran
has backed Assads government throughout
the conflict, fighting alongside the Syrian
military, and is seen by Western-backed
rebels and U.S. partners in the region as a
major source of the bloodshed.

Chinese leaders drawing
up new long-range growth plan
BEIJING Facing pressure to pep up a cooling economy, Chinese leaders met Monday to craft a new long-range
blueprint to guide development through the end of this
decade.
The Communist Partys five-year plan is a throwback to
the era of central planning but still plays a key role, allowing the ruling party to highlight its goals and policy
shifts.
Party leaders are expected to use the 2016-2020 plan to
renew their commitment to a marathon effort to shift China
from reliance on trade and investment to more self-sustaining growth driven by domestic consumption.
The urgency for change has increased following a deeperthan-expected decline in economic growth and this years
boom and bust in stock prices, analysts say.
It is probably the most difficult five-year planning in
history, because the multi-layer pressure generated by
transforming the economy and at the same time maintaining growth has risen sharply, said economist Liu
Yuanchun, director of the National Academy of
Development and Strategy at Renmin University in
Beijing.

Wave hit Canada boat on

TOFINO, British Columbia Most of the passengers on
a whale watching boat carrying 27 people that capsized off
Vancouver Island were on the left side of the top deck when

and roll over, investigators said Tuesday.
Five British nationals were killed, and the search continued for a missing Australian man. Twenty-one people were
rescued after the Leviathan II capsized Sunday afternoon.
Marc Andre Poisson, Director of Marine Investigations
for Canadas Transportation Safety Board, said Tuesday that
having so many people on the left side of the boat raised
the center of gravity.
We know that most passengers were on the top deck on
the port side, thats the left side of the vessel. This would
have raised the center of gravity, affecting the vessels stability, Poisson said at a news conference in Tofino.
We also know that the sea conditions were such that a
wave approached from the starboard quarter, thats the right
of the vessel. We know that the vessel broached and then

Russia pounds Syrian rebels,

then reaches out to opposition
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT When Russian Foreign

Minister Sergei Lavrov said his country
was ready to aid Syrian rebels fighting
the Islamic State group, rebel commanders scoffed, pointing out that
Russian aircraft were pounding their
bases in central and northern Syria on a
daily basis.
Moreover, Lavrov not long ago had
ridiculed the main Western-backed
rebels known as the Free Syrian Army,
calling the group a phantom structure.
But some in the Syrian opposition
are wondering whether the Russian
offer, for all its ambiguity, might be
worth seizing in order to test Moscows
commitment to finding a negotiated
solution to the four-year civil war. The
seeming change of tune is in sharp contrast to the stance of Syrian President
Bashar Assad, who considers all rebels
on the ground to be terrorists.
Maybe there is a disconnect between
the regimes discourse and that of the

Israeli residency proposal unnerves Jerusalems Palestinians

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM An Israeli proposal

that could potentially strip tens of
thousands of Palestinians in Jerusalem
of their residency rights has sent shudders through the targeted Arab neighborhoods areas that were dumped
outside Israels separation barrier a
decade ago, even though they are within the citys boundaries.
The governments review of the sta-

tus of these neighborhoods, home to

tens of thousands of people, illustrates
the fragile position of Palestinians in
a city where they have long suffered
discrimination and are caught between
the pragmatic conveniences of living
under Israeli control and the loyalties
to the Palestinian cause.
With few exceptions, Jerusalems
Palestinians are not Israeli citizens,
and instead hold residency status that
can be revoked. Removing residency

rights en masse appears highly unlikely due to legal hurdles and domestic and
international opposition. But government critics said the fact that it is even
being discussed sent an ominous message to Palestinians.
There is nothing permanent about
permanent residency, said Yudith
Oppenheimer, executive director of Ir
Amim, an advocacy group that promotes coexistence and equality in the
city.

Layton, Nayfack for San Carlos schools

he people of San Carlos have

a tough but important decision in who will join the elementary school districts Board of

capable and passionate about serving

Michelle Nayfack is a no-brainer
choice in this election. She is wellversed in the district and state education policy and takes a research and

ensure teachers and administration

and is willing to apply her experience
well-soaked in nearly every aspect of
education to make San Carlos schools
better. She also has practical ideas
like providing onsite child care for
district staff and rewarding extra work
to help attract and retain the best talent.
Neil Layton is a strong communicator who is also well-versed in the districts issues with overenrollment and
planning for the future. He too
believes in an analytical approach to
ensure student success and believes
tapping into outside resources so
prevalent in this area can make learning more interesting by using realworld and practical experiences.
Peter Tzifas brings a strong level of
scal accountability to the table and

questions the value of the new statemandated Common Core curriculum in

lieu of more traditional education
models. While tempting to bring
someone with that perspective on the
board for arguments sake, the fact of
the matter is that Common Core is
here to stay and though Tzifas is erudite, it is better to have someone on
the board who is more willing to
make sure that Common Core is being
applied well and effective moving forward.
Eirene Chen has a wide breadth of
experience in technology marketing
and education and is learned in her
scope of understanding of the issues
facing the district. She is well-versed
and passionate about San Carlos
schools.
All four candidates would be a good

the two candidates who rose to the top
are Nayfack and Layton.

additional years, until 2048.
Sales taxes are regressive, they take
a larger percent of income from low
wage earners than high wage earners.
They should be kept low.
Some of the quarter percent would
be used to fund long-term projects
such as street upgrades and other
infrastructure items that could be paid
for more economically with longterm bonds. This is a like paying for
a kitchen remodel with the balance in
your checkbook instead of paying
back a home improvement loan over
the life of the new appliances.

ean-spirited politics has gone on for too

long. It must be changed. It does not represent the American people. Vice
President Joe Biden, Oct. 21, 2015.
The following is most of a column that was published
Oct. 30, 2013. After reading it again, I realized that,
unfortunately, not much has changed. Will it still be valid
in 2017?
I dont want to completely spook you out or anything,
but then I think of what those determined and obstinate
tea party types and the wimpy legislators who have not
stood up to them and put them in their place have been
doing to our country. When it comes to being frightened,
the ghosts and goblins of Halloween cannot come close.
And as I looked through my notebook and noticed all the
references and quotes I had jotted down in relation to this
debacle, I just automatically marched to the desktop.
The tea party types keep
holding us hostage to their
demands completely
obsessed with what obviously is their aim to sabotage Obamacare with no
thought to the consequences for anyone else.
Too bad there havent been
enough undaunted congressmen and congresswomen to protect us from
this threat to our democracy. Its such a sad comment
on the human condition when people who are so obsessed
with their own narcissistic aims can throw the whole
country out of whack and so many of our legislators are
so beholden to special interests that chaos results.
It was bad enough during George W.s administration.
We were duped while he and his mentally sclerotic cohorts
maneuvered us into unnecessary wars. Now we have to deal
with the antics of people with similar brain quirks who
have been doggedly pursuing ways to bring down the
Obama administration. You cant help but wonder how
some people become so arrogant and obstinate and what
is behind their behavior. As one wise commentator recommended: We must face reality instead of trying to make
reality t our preconceived idea of what reality should be.
So how did those ultra-conservatives become so completely engulfed in their self-serving aims, closed to any
thoughts but their own and so dismissive of those of us
who believe government and democracy should operate
for everyone? What caused them to become so indifferent
to the welfare of the rest of us and so obsessed with being
in control?
Looking for some answers, I went to my book closet
and there I found three very interesting books that offer
much insight into the ultra-conservative mindset. One
was written about what made George W. tick: Bush On
the Couch (2004) by Justin A. Frank, M.D. In describing Bush and others like him (including his cohort
Cheney) Frank wrote: He wants to do what he wants to
do and nobody can stop him. The megalomaniac hates
anybody else having power it is always a potential
threat to his own. Add Jacob Weisberg, author of The
Bush Tragedy (2008), in referring to Bush 43: Bushs
inexibility is rooted in the old family drama. At the temperamental level, the president has almost no ability to
accept blame or learn from mistakes.
Also I found The Republican Brain (2012) by Chris
Mooney who writes at length about the problem of the
right wing mind and how it got that way. Some of our
individual brain cells have latent ideological implications, and may predispose us toward the adoption of
beliefs that feel right to us religious beliefs and
political beliefs, among others.
And his basic conclusion: Part of the truce would
require conservatives to recognize that if you want
knowledge, you must go to a person (or better yet, a
group of persons like the scientic community) that is
adept at determining what it actually is. You dont just get
to make it up for yourself and deny what actual experts
say because youre sure youre right. (Think global
warming).
We dont need Halloween to remind us that there are
spooks out there to harass us. We dont need to hear anyone yell boo or even trick or treat. We who cannot
fathom how some people can be so recalcitrant are
already spooked enough by the tricks of the extreme
rights tactics, which, we can be sure, havent ended. As
the Oct. 21 editorial in one of our newspapers expressed:
Whats really scary is that we might have to do it all
again.
Our democracy is in danger. The danger has its roots in
money, power, social structure and history, but its ultimate source is in the brains of our citizens. George
Lakoff, The Political Mind.

NEW YORK Stocks slipped

Tuesday afternoon after several U.S.

The market made only small moves as
the Federal Reserve started a two-day
meeting to discuss interest rates. The
market has paused this week following
an October rally that wiped out much of
the losses from a late-summer plunge.
Investors are still concerned about the
slow pace of the economic recovery in
the U.S. and are wondering how the
economy and the market will react when
interest rates eventually start to rise.
Few expect the Fed to raise interest rates
this year. And while ultra-low rates tend
to be favorable for stocks and bonds,
many investors would like to see the
uncertainty over interest rate policy
resolved.

Gilead Sciences beats Street 3Q forecasts

By Linda A. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Propelled by skyrocketing sales of its

breakthrough hepatitis C pills, Gilead
Sciences Inc. posted an impressive 68
percent increase in third-quarter profit
and hiked its revenue forecast yet again.
The Foster City company has what
amounts to a license to print money in
its Harvoni, the first once-daily, singlepill regimen for hepatitis C, and predecessor drug Sovaldi, both launched in
the last two years.
The two are on track to bring in nearly $20 billion this year and together
vaulted Gilead from the worlds 20thbiggest drugmaker in 2013 to No. 9 last
year. But their high prices about
$95,000 and $84,000 for a course of
treatment, respectively have triggered continuing criticism, partly
because an estimated 4 million

Americans and more than 90 million

people worldwide have the liverdestroying virus, so covering that cost
is a budget buster for insurers as well as
patients.
The two drugs dominate the market
over rival AbbVie Inc.s Viekira Pak, a
multi-pill regimen, but new competitors, such as one from Merck & Co.,
could hit the market as early as January
and cut into Gileads gold mine.
Harvoni and Sovaldi can cure more
than 90 percent of patients in eight to
12 weeks, compared to the prior generation of treatments that lasted a year,
required frequent injections that caused
nasty flu-like side effects and still barely cured half of patients.
Gilead said net income rose to $4.6
billion, or $3.06 per share, from $2.7
billion, or $1.67 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share came to
$3.22; analysts surveyed by Zacks

Investment Research were expecting

$2.90 per share.
Revenue jumped 37 percent, to $8.3
billion from $6.04 billion in 2014s
third quarter.
Gilead shares rose 2.1 percent in regular trading, to $110.96, then gave back
2.3 percent in after-hours trading,
falling to $108.70.
Sales of Harvoni, launched late last
year, hit $3.33 billion, an astounding
total for a new drug to rack up in such a
short time. Sovaldi sales are being
trimmed as more patients and doctors
choose Harvoni, but it still had sales of
$1.5 billion.
Edward Jones analyst Ashtyn Evans
wrote in a note to investors that hepatitis C sales exceeded estimates by roughly $250 million, and sales across most
other major drugs also were higher than
expected, while operating expenses
were lower than expected.

result of decreased refining production,

has sent oil prices back down.
Ritterbusch says he thinks crude will
slip back to its August lows of around
$38 a barrel and stay there through the
end of 2015.
Energy stocks declined along with the
price of oil. Chesapeake Energy fell 41
cents, or 5.8 percent, to $6.72, while
Marathon Oil was down 48 cents, or 2.7
percent, to $17.11 and Anadarko
Petroleum lost $3.71, or 5.4 percent, to

Business briefs
Twitters 3Q report illustrates
challenges facing new CEO Dorsey
SAN FRANCISCO Twitters latest financial report conveyed a succinct message: CEO Jack Dorsey has his work
cut out as he tries to attract more people to one of the
Internets most influential means of communications.
The challenges facing Dorsey came into sharper focus
with Tuesdays release of Twitters results for the three
months ending in September. The numbers covered a stretch
when Dorsey was serving as interim CEO before Twitter
hired him on a permanent basis a month ago.
Twitter ended the third quarter with a core audience of 307
million active users, an increase of just 3 million from
June. That wasnt much better than a gain of 2 million users
in the previous quarter, a letdown that led to the departure of
Twitters previous CEO, Dick Costolo.
Revenue climbed 58 percent from last year to $569 million.
Twitter still lost $132 million, extending the companys
uninterrupted history of losses since Dorsey co-founded the
service nearly a decade ago. The San Francisco company
has now accumulated losses of about $2 billion.

Apple beats earnings

estimates, issues healthy forecast
SAN FRANCISCO Defying Wall Street skeptics, Apple
says it plans to keep setting records for selling more
iPhones around the world.
The giant tech company reported another quarter of record
earnings on Tuesday, boosted by surging sales in China.
And in a crucial indicator, Apple forecast healthy iPhone
sales during the upcoming holidays.
Apples stock rose slightly after the company issued its
report, then settled near the days closing price of $114.55.
Analysts said the forecast eased investor concerns that
Apples holiday sales might fall short of last years phenomenal levels.
Consumer demand for smartphones is slowing worldwide,
according to independent researchers, who say the combined sales of all brands are slowing because most people
in developed nations already own a smartphone. Thats
prompted many analysts to question whether Apple can
continue to sell iPhones at an ever-growing pace.

Walgreens confirms it

NEW YORK Walgreens confirmed Tuesday that it will

The Wall Street Journal first reported news of the deal.
Walgreens says it will pay $9 per share for Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania-based Rite Aid Corp. Thats a premium of 48
percent to the closing price of Rite Aid Monday. The deal is
worth $17.2 billion when debt is included, the companies
said.
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. , based in Deerfield,
Illinois, is the largest U.S. drugstore chain, based on store
counts. Rite Aid is the third largest.

Aragons Ulrich takes PAL golf title

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There was a lot going on during the

Peninsula Athletic League girls golf championship at Poplar Creek Tuesday afternoon.
Not only was the leagues individual champion to be crowned, as well as potential atlarge bids to the Central Coast Section tournament, but it was also used as a tiebreaker to
decide the PALs automatic berth into CCS
after Aragon and Menlo-Atherton finished the
regular season with 8-2 records.
The biggest development, however, was the
absence of three-time defending champion

Aman Sangha of San Mateo and arguably the

second-best player in the league in her
younger sister Kiran Sangha.
The have, basically, been focusing on their
grades, said San Mateo coach Jimmy Ikeda.
The emphasis is more on education at this
point. I hope to get them back for next year.
Even if the Sanghas were in the field, they
would have needed to be on top of their game
because Aragons Tessa Ulrich certainly was. A
three-year varsity player, Ulrich fired a 1under 70 to take home the championship, finishing two shots ahead of Menlo-Athertons
Naomi Lee, who shot a 1-over 72. Lees teammate, Abbey Pederson, finished third with a 4-

over 75.
I did a lot better than I was originally
thinking. I was really nervous going in, said
Ulrich, a junior. My goal was a 77 thats
my best score. I was thinking 77 to 80, somewhere in that range. The fact I played as well as
I did was surprising.
While Ulrich won the individual honors
as well a spot in the CCS tournament it
wasnt enough to prevent Menlo-Atherton
from earning the PALs automatic team bid.

Sequoia downs Mills to keep playoff hopes alive

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It has been more bad news than good for the

Sequoia volleyball team this season, but the
Cherokees are still holding out hopes for an
at-large playoff berth out of the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division this season.
Injuries to key personnel have caused a
promising Sequoia squad to fall to fifth place
in the Bay Division. But with a sweep of Mills
Tuesday night, the Cherokees (5-6 in PAL
Bay, 15-12 overall) clinched an above-.500
overall record with two matches to go to fulfill
the postseason prerequisite; a team need have
either a league record or an overall record of
.500 or better.
Mills (2-9, 11-14) gave Sequoia fits early,
but the Cherokees cruised late to a 28-26, 2519, 25-10 victory. The win is Sequoias second straight, marking just the second time
this season it has done so, and the first since
winning three of its first four league matches.
Sequoia outside hitter Leanne Robinson is
returning to form after being sidelined with an
ankle injury for half the season. The junior
totaled 10 kills Tuesday. But with the addition
of Robinson, the Cherokees lost another key
player in outside hitter Rachel Fink, as the
senior team captain suffered a sprained ankle
last week.
Ive never had every player on the roster
for a game, Sequoia head coach Dustyn
Woropay said.
Front-row depth has served Sequoia well
though. Senior middle hitter Kara Herbert has
emerged as an offensive force as of late. She
fired a match-high 13 kills Tuesday. And in
facing an intensely scrappy Mills squad that
seems to dig everything hit its way, Herbert
somehow managed a .722 swing percentage.
It was ridiculously efficient, Woropay
said.
The Vikings made a run at the Cherokees
though, forcing Game 1 into extra points and
remaining tangled well into Game 2. Once

Sequoia took an 18-17

lead in the second set,
however, Mills never
again led in the match.
We played really well
in the first game and then
they stopped talking,
Mills head coach Polly
Wiard said.
The opening set was
Kara Herbert
tied at 15 different junctures, and saw Mills lead 22-18 before Sequoia
mounted a comeback. The Vikings saw early
offensive outbursts from senior Adrienne Lee
and sophomore Caitlin Lau, with the two
totaling four kills apiece in the set.
After Sequoia overcame a late four-point
deficit in Game 1 to tie it, Mills still forced set
point on a kill by Lau. But Herbert fired a kill
to lock up 25-25, then Robinson followed
with an ace to force set point for Sequoia. After
Lau scored her fourth set kill to tie it 26-26,
the Cherokees rallied for two straight points,
capped by a kill by sophomore Gaby LunaVictoria to end it.
Game 2 started with more of the same backand-forth play. But while the set was tied at
eight different junctures, the Vikings took just
one lead at 17-16 on a service ace by sophomore Gabriella Yuen. But Sequoia senior
Lizzie Gaddini responded with a five-point
service run to take control of the match, as the
Cherokees outscored the Vikings 9-2 to close
out the set.
Game 3 was all Sequoia, fueled by an eightpoint service run by Luna-Victoria. Herbert
capped her standout performance with two of
her three match blocks in the final set.
Generating a front-row attack has been the
bane of Mills season. The Vikings have
turned to Lee to take the most swings. At 5-5,
the fourth-year varsity senior didnt play the
front row at all during her club season last year
with Encore 17s. While the fiery team captain
height may lack height, she certainly does
not lack heart.

We need height, but it challenges us to

play smart, Lee said.
Mills moved up the PAL Bay Division this
year after tying for second place with Half
Moon Bay in the Ocean Division last season.
It is Mills first time back in the Bay since
Lees freshman season.
They deserved it, Wiard said of the promotion to the Bay. They worked hard. Theyre a
great bunch of kids and they played great.
Despite the Vikings winning just one set
over a current five-match losing streak in
league, the teams play has been worthy of the
Bay Division, according to Wiard.
Were not getting blown off the court like
we have been in the past when we were in the
PAL Bay, Wiard said.
Sequoias best offensive performer Tuesday
agreed.
Theyre so scrappy, Herbert said. Its so
impressive playing against a team like that.
Its kind of frustrating playing against a
team like that, but after its just really impressive.
The 5-11 Herbert is in her first full season
playing as middle hitter. And she has benefitted from junior setter Emma Cheathams balanced distribution. As a junior transfer from
Everest Public High School a Redwood
City charter school Herbert played opposite hitter last season in a left-side intensive
attack.
Just the transition of a new setter this year
has changed distribution through the entire
front row, Herbert said.
Junior Julia Carlson and Fink have paced
the Cherokees in scoring this season, each
averaging 2 kills per set. And Robinson has
emerged with 2.6 kills per set since her return.
But Herbert is next in line, averaging 1.7 kills
per set and has been Sequoias most efficient
swinger with .372 average.
Shes able to put that ball in the corner,
Woropay said. Weve been giving our middles the ball a lot more this season. Weve
been more balanced.

Menlo-Atherton 3, Burlingame 0
The Bears (11-0 in PAL Bay, 19-6 overall)
clinched at least a share of the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division title with a 2516, 25-13, 25-21 sweep of Burlingame (7-4,
12-12). M-A was paced by Leanna Collins 13
kills while Courtney Foliaki added eight. Kyra
Novitzky paced the Panthers with six kills
and Julia Haupt added five.

Aragon 3, Carlmont 2
The Dons (7-4, 18-12) battled for a five-set
win 25-12, 25-23, 22-25, 25-27, 15-10 over

the second-place Scots (9-2, 22-7). With the

win, Aragon moves into a third-place tie with
Burlingame. Aragon junior Melanie Moore
had a match-high 19 kills and Maddie Lee
tabbed 30 digs. Carlmont middle hitter Alexis
Morrow fired 18 kills while sophomore opposite Maya McClellan added 17. Erin Alonso
added a season-high 25 digs.

Hillsdale 3, Half Moon Bay 0

The Knights (1-10, 9-18) earned their first
league win of the season with a commanding
25-18, 25-15, 25-17 victory over Half Moon
Bay (2-9, 12-16). Hillsdale was led by
Cherene Uale and Jenna Smith with nine kills
apiece. Danika Ferguson notched five blocks,
Taylor Kwan totaled 24 digs and setter
Julianna Eng had 34 assists.

PAL Ocean Division

Terra Nova 3, Jefferson 0
The Tigers (11-0 in PAL Ocean, 19-8 overall) rolled 25-15, 25-11, 25-10 past Jefferson
(0-11 in PAL Ocean). Krystal Hin had a matchhigh 13 kills, Reiko Harris totaled 39 assists
and Kristiana Wolf Blake scored eight aces.

The Mustangs (4-7, 11-13) won 25-21,

49ers attempt to keep an

even keel amid struggles
By Chris Biderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers

coach Jim Tomsula likened a recent team meeting to an Italian dining room table.
Tomsula told San
Francisco-based radio
station KNBR Tuesday
that he held an animated
meeting two days after a
17-3 home loss to the
Green Bay Packers,
which put his team at 1-3.
The first-year head
Jim Tomsula coach said it began as his
meeting with the players, before he left the locker room and let
players speak among themselves.
I did have a heated meeting. That happens in this business, Tomsula told the station. When youre 2-5, that starts to
become headlines. It was a very productive
meeting. It was a meeting where it was truthful and dealt with facts and reality.
.The biggest thing I said to them, Guys, its
like an Italian dining room table. Everybodys
sitting around the table, things get heated,
dishes get broke and people leave. But everybodys got to come back to the table to eat.
The 49ers travel to St. Louis to take on
the surging Rams on Sunday and will be try-

ing to avoid falling to 2-6 for the first time

since 2010.
I dont want to overreact, third-year
safety Eric Reid said. Our record, yeah were
2-5, but we dont have to reinvent the wheel
here. I dont think anybody needs to start a
yelling fest, pointing fingers at anybody.
Thats what we dont need.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick is off to the
worst start of his career, throwing six touchdown passes and five interceptions in seven
games. San Franciscos offense ranks last in
both points and yardage, leading to chatter
about Kaepernick getting benched in favor
of backup Blaine Gabbert.
Tomsula has indicated that move isnt slated
to come any time soon.
(Kaepernick) is one of the hardest workers Ive been around, especially in the
weight room, running back Reggie Bush
said. Hes young and he still has, I think, a
long career left in this game.
Bush, who has been in and out of the lineup
with a strained left calf, is in his 10th season in
the NFL, including time spent on a championship team in New Orleans in 2009 before
playing on losing teams in Miami and Detroit.
Its easy to, I think, to dig up stories and say
things when your teams not playing well,
Bush said. I think the most important thing we
can do is focus on us, block out everything outside, and try to go win this next football game.

Royals walk off with Game 1 win in 14 innings

By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alcides Escobar

started the World Series with a jolt. Five hours
later, he ended the longest opener ever with a
jump into the arms of his joyous Kansas
City Royals teammates.
Saved by Alex Gordons tying home run in
the ninth inning off Mets closer Jeurys
Familia, the Royals won in the 14th when
Eric Hosmers sacrifice fly scored Escobar for
a 5-4 win over New York late Tuesday night.
This tied for the longest Series game in history, and it had a little bit of everything. A lot
of everything, actually.
Escobar hit an inside-the-park homer on the
very first pitch from Matt Harvey. Later, a
power failure caused the national TV audience
and the teams replay rooms to go dark.
The nearer it got to midnight and beyond
JEFF CURRY/USA TODAY SPORTS the more oddly the ball bounced.
Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer hits a game-winning
In the 11th, Salvador Perez grounded a sinsacriice fly in the bottom of the 14th inning to gle that hit the third-base bag and caromed
give the Royals a 5-4 win over the Mets.
high in the air. In the 12th, Daniel Murphy

struck out on a pitch that got past Perez it

ricocheted off the backstop to the Royals
catcher, who threw out Murphy at first.
About the only thing missing? A home run
by Murphy, who had connected in a record six
straight postseason games. The MVP of the
NL Championship Series did contribute a pair
of singles.
Then in the 14th, Escobar reached on an
error by third baseman David Wright. Ben
Zobrists single put runners at the corners and
an intentional walk to Lorenzo Cain loaded
the bases.
Hosmer atoned for a key error by lifting a
flyball to medium-deep right field, and
Escobar barely beat Curtis Grandersons throw
home.
Escobar streaked home standing up, and the
Royals rushed from the dugout to meet him.
It was 12:18 a.m. at Kauffman Stadium, and
Game 2 is Wednesday night.
Jacob deGrom starts for the Mets against
Johnny Cueto. Its a hairy matchup: DeGroms
flowing tresses vs. Cuetos mop of dreadlocks.

Anyone whos ever seen the Royals play

especially in October knows theyre called
resilient for a reason. Once again, they reinforced their reputation.
Gordon shook the ballpark when he tagged
Jeurys Familia, hitting a solo drive with one
out over the center field wall. The star closer
hadnt blown a save since July 30 and had
been nearly perfect this postseason.
Known more for his glove than his bat,
Gordon got a huge hug in the dugout from Eric
Hosmer. A two-time Gold Glove first baseman, Hosmers error gave the Mets a 4-3 lead
in the eighth.
Escobar provided the early excitement. He
loves to swing at first pitches, and this time
the MVP of AL Championship Series produced
his best result yet.
A mix-up by Mets outfielders Yoenis
Cespedes and rookie Michael Conforto helped
Escobar wind up with just the second insidethe-parker to lead off a Series game. Ol Patsy
Dougherty of the Boston Americans did it in
1903 his came in the second game ever of
what became known as the Fall Classic.

block coming just after the Crusaders scored
their critical eighth goal.
Madison Gomes scored the clincher with
1:38 remaining in regulation. Lauren
Murphy took the cross drive to the weak
side and got the ball to Justman, who passed
it into Gomes for a goal from the two-meter
mark.
It was a beautiful turn with a right power
shot right into net, Medina said.
The Crusaders stayed with the hard press
that served them well throughout the second
half, forcing Menlo to the outside. The
Knights attempted a shot from 10 meters
out that Kibblewhite slapped away, and
Mercy drove down quickly to get the ball to
a wide open Arlayna Kane for a final score.

Golden State built a 10-point halftime lead
and was never threatened the rest of the way to
win its 19th straight home game dating to Jan.
31 and match the franchise record set last season.
Anthony Davis, who averaged 29.5 points
and 12.5 rebounds in two games against Golden
State last season, shot 4 for 20 and scored 10 of
his 18 points on free throws. In his Pelicans
debut, Kendrick Perkins battled Andrew Bogut

That sealed the deal for us, Medina said.

Mercy distributed its scoring well. Four
players paced the team with two goals
apiece Justman, Gomes, Cassandra
Bradley and Daisy Paulsen while Kane
added the one. The Crusaders had just nine
players on roster for the game, including
just two seniors in the starting lineup. They
have three seniors overall, three juniors,
two sophomores and a freshman.
Im really so proud, Medina said. We
have a really young team, so this is a great
start to their high school careers.
The Knights were contending with their
own personnel issues, but theirs were concerning the coaching staff. Since head
coach Matt Jones took a leave of absence
Sept. 26 for personal reasons, Kyle Utsumi
had taken over as interim head coach. But
Utsumi departed Sunday for a trip to
Australia, leaving assistant coach Donya
Dehnad to run the team.
A graduate of Menlo in 2014, Dehnad last

played for the Knights in the 2013 season.

So, she is now coaching four players at
Menlo she used to play with. She also has a
full plate with her collegiate career for the
playoff-bound Foothill College Owls, who
next play Wednesday.
Im in season, theyre in season its
kind of crazy right now, Dehnad said.
Tuesday marked the third game Dehnad
has served as head coach this season, so she
wasnt entirely without experience.
Although she was disappointed with the
loss, Menlo is still slated to open play in
PAL Tournament Monday against Woodside.
That is a nice consolation for Dehnad, who
coached with Woodside head coach Laura
Reynolds with Peninsula Water Polo at
Stanford over the summer. And one of
Dehnads former Foothill teammates,
Megan Bordy, is one of Reynolds assistant
coaches at Woodside.
Im excited, Dehnad said.
With the win, Mercy receives a bye in the

first round of the PAL Tournament. The

Crusaders will open play Tuesday or
Wednesday, depending on how the rest of
the field shakes out, according to Medina.
The best finish the Crusaders have seen
during Medinas tenure was four years ago
when they finished in fourth place. She is
looking to match that this season.
We are looking for top four, Medina
said.

Curry walked out to receive his ring to chants

blue 2015 champion T-shirts, then thanked the
fans.
This is an unbelievable day, Curry said. We
would not have been able to do what we did last
year with your guys support.
Currys had the second-most points by a

South Carolina football player alleges hazing

By Pete Iacobelli
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. One of South Carolinas leading high

school running backs has sued his former school, alleging players from Allendale-Fairfax High assaulted him this summer as part
of hazing ritual condoned by coaches.
Shakur Chisolm and his parents sued Monday. They request an
unspecified financial amount to be determined by a jury that would
cover Chisolms medical bills, along with things like emotional
distress and mental suffering from the incident.
Chisolm is suing the Allendale County School District and
Allendale-Fairfax High School among others.
School Superintendent Leila W. Williams did not immediately
return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Chisolm alleged 15 teammates used open hands, closed fists,
boxing gloves, belt buckles and other objects to hit him,
according to the complaint.

After White House celebration, Wambach retires
Abby Wambach, the leading career scorer male or female

Wambach, 35, said before the World Cup this past summer
in Canada that she wanted to cap her 15-year career with the
games most prestigious championship. She got her wish.
Wambach has appeared in 252 international matches with

against China in New Orleans.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama welcomed the

U.S. womens 2015 World Cup champion soccer team to the
White House Tuesday, saying the teams victory with class,
excitement and style inspired the whole country.
Theyve inspired millions of girls to dream bigger and,
by the way, inspired millions of boys to look at girls differently, which is just as important, Obama said.
The U.S. defeated Japan 5-2 during the final to collect the
top prize in womens soccer for the first time in 16 years.
Obama said his youngest daughter Sasha was able to cheer
on the team when she attended the game with Vice President
Joe Biden and his granddaughter Maisy.
This team taught all Americas children that playing like
a girl means youre a badass, Obama said, to applause in
the White House East Room. Perhaps I shouldnt have used
that phrase. Playing like a girl means being the best.
Obama singled out midfielder Carli Lloyd, who was named
the tournaments most valuable player after scoring three
goals in the final. He noted that Lloyds title on Wikipedia
was jokingly changed during the game to president of the
United States, a job Obama said is about to open up.
Whats another candidate in the mix, Obama said.

The team camp took place in August. Chisolms lawsuit said the
assault took place with the full consent of head coach Eddie Ford,
who was named in the suit.
Chisolm, 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, transferred to another
school after the incident and is listed second in state rushing
totals with 1,374 yards in seven games for Williston-Elko High.
Chisolm has 16 touchdowns this season.
Chisolms attorney, Fatima Zeidan, said the 17-year-old has
found Williston-Elko to be a supportive new family.
But to those who think his football success this season means
his complaints are overblown are mistaken, things like this
never go away, said Zeidan.
Chisolms lawsuit alleges its a longstanding ritual in
Allendale-Fairfax football that newcomers and freshmen were to
be get got, which his complaint said consisted of being beaten and subjected to systematic and humiliating hazing in various
forms by a number of current players and upperclassmen on the
team.

combined to shoot a 441, easily out-distancing Aragon (476).
We went from being kind of discombobulated to really getting everyone to concentrate and focus on winning league,
Pederson said. We matured as a team
(throughout the season).
Pederson said it was a little more satisfying beating Aragon in the tournament after
winning the dual meet during the regular season only to be disqualified after one of the
Bears used a range finder.
We won by 35 shots, Pederson said.
Aragon still has a chance to receive an atlarge berth to CCS, but that would simply be
icing on the cake for Aragon coach Guy
Oling.
I was very pleased with our season after
losing four starters from last years championship team, Oling said. Being in the top
three (in the PAL) would have been satisfactory. Top to bottom, weve improved, too.
Pederson was a little chapped about her
performance, however.
I left a lot of shots out there, Pederson
said.
Shots that would have made a difference
against Ulrich, who played steady golf
throughout. She finished with 11 pars, four
birdies and three bogeys.
I didnt have any doubles (bogeys). I didnt have any blow-up holes, Ulrich said.
Ulrich, who played in the No. 3 slot on the
Dons PAL championship last season,
moved into the No. 1 slot for 2015 and
proved, throughout the season, she was a
bona fide No. 1 as she came into the tournament as, essentially, the third seed.
Ulrich got off to a quick start, making
birdie on the first hole, but bogeyed the second hole. She stabilized after that, parring
the next three holes. She picked up her second birdie on No. 6, but gave it back with a
bogey on No. 7, after chunking a shot out of
a bunker. She recovered and went par-par to

Ulrich got off to a hot start on the back
nine, going birdie-par-birdie on holes 10,
11 and 12. She parred 13, bogeyed 14 and
finished out her round with four straight pars
for a 1-under 34 over the final nine holes to
hold off Lee.
I shot 35 on the back with my dad
Saturday, but I had never shot that well on
the back (like I did Tuesday), Ulrich said.
Ulrich said she noticed right away that the
Sangha sisters were not in the field and she
admitted it did change the dynamic of the
tournament, but not the way she maneuvered
around the course.
Theyre two very strong players. They
are missed, Ulrich said. But the one thing
with golf its you against the course.
Youre not playing an opponent.
Ulrich, Lee and Pederson, along with
Carlmonts Helen Ye who despite shooting a 76 was not eligible to win the PAL tournament because the Scots do not field a full
team were the only golfers to shoot
rounds in the 70s. Fourth place went to
South City freshman Catherine Batang, who
shot a 81. Fifth place was a surprise as
Sequoias Mady Fitzgerald, playing in the
second-to-last group of the day, came home
with an 84. Sixth place went to Aragons
Emily Paras, who finished with an 85. M-As
Park and Burlingames Meagan McEnry both
finished with 88s to tie for seventh.
Christina Monisteri, also of Burlingame,
finished ninth with an 89. San Mateos
Tiffany Tang and Lynn Sasaki both finished
with 90s, but it was Tang who secured the
final medalist position in the top-10, based
on a tiebreaker Tang shot a 45 on the back
9, Sasaki a 47.
There is a chance other players could
receive an at-large bid to CCS, but that wont
be decided until all the other leagues in CCS

tournament begins next Tuesday at Rancho

Lucky Peach is learning to love the easy side of Asian food

By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Disney princesses reimagined as hot dogs

and drunken rants by name-brand chefs are de
rigueur for quarterly food magazine Lucky
Peach. But a new cookbook from the journals editors leaves most of that on the table,
favoring instead a just-campy-enough
approach to Asian home cooking.
Launched in 2011 by New York food writer
Peter Meehan and Momofuku chef David
Chang, Lucky Peach combines award-winning long-form journalism with that special
brand of hipness designed to make outsiders
know where they stand. The cookbook from
the self-proclaimed cult food magazine has
some of that see the chapter intro that
mentions a staff Bacchanalia on Richard
Bransons private island but also goes a
long way to making you a master of easy
Asian cooking.
Delicious, straightforward recipes for items
such as shrimp-and-chive dumplings and the
Japanese pancake called okonomiyaki fill
Lucky Peach: 101 Easy Asian Recipes,
along with romping commentary that makes

the book fun to read as well as to cook from.

We talked with Meehan about the book, the
magazine, and the future of Asian cuisine in
America. Edited for length and clarity.
AP: In 2 0 11 , wi th bi g mag azi nes
s uch as Go urmet o ut o f bus i nes s , y o u
and Dav i d Chang fo unded Lucky
Peach. Remi nd readers o f the tho ug ht
pro ces s there.
Peter Meehan: It seemed like a good idea
at the time, for purely creative reasons. I was
a writer and I had stories I wanted to write that
I couldnt place. As a chef, there were only
certain things people wanted Dave to do.
They wanted the bear to dance. For him, it
was so he didnt have to be the dancing bear.
And for me, so I didnt have to write the story
about how the bear danced. We were young
and full of ideas and we didnt think about the
potential for success. We just thought about
doing it. I hate to short sell us, but we were in
the right place at the right time and it hit a
chord.
AP: What do y o u thi nk that cho rd
was ?
Meehan: Its so hard to say things without
feeling incredibly self-congratulatory. But I
think there was an honesty and a directness, a

transparency. We didnt make another

lifestyle magazine, we wrote about our lives.
Once that first issue was a success it gave us
an opportunity to expand the conversation
around food, and to let writers write at the
length they needed to tell their stories, and to
showcase what chefs were passionate about
outside of seasonal roundups and easy
recipes.
AP: Ho w has Lucky Peach ev o l v ed
s i nce then?
Meehan: We curse less. I prided myself on
publishing unpublishable recipes that were
either difficult and authentic or represented
how the greatest chefs in the world cooked.
And then over time, I think out of personal
interest and because we felt like wed proved
our point, weve moved into a more
approachable and usable set of recipes
because we see the value in those.
AP: Who s readi ng and why ?
Meehan: We have a pretty huge audience
of cooks and chefs. We finally did some audience research. And we found there is a huge
audience of people who cook at home, who
eat out a lot, who are in their late 20s to early
40s. I think guiltily that we write the magazine we want to see. And thats the con-

stituency Im most concerned about making a magazine I dont hate. And then its
always comforting when people want to
come on that ride. We print 100,000 copies
and distribute all of them. Were big for a little magazine.
AP: Di d the mag azi ne pus h the env el o pe mo re o n jo urnal i s m o r o n fo o d?
Meehan: Its hard for me to be the person
answering that question. If we pushed either
of those conversations at all, then I feel great
about it, because those are my passions and
my profession. But I think its great to see
other magazine stories getting longer, their
curiosity about cuisines getting more diversified. If were helping move either of those
bars forward, thats an enormous success.
AP: Earl y o n, y o u pri ded y o urs el f o n
di ffi cul t reci pes . Why thi s bo o k, why
thes e v ery appro achabl e reci pes ?
Meehan: This felt like unexplored territory
for Lucky Peach. For as much as I love and
have a bookshelf full of nostalgic Oriental
cookbooks from the 70s, theyre useless.
And theyre bad. The food from them doesnt
taste good. So bringing what I know and what

and to think about them losing everything,
along with what their parents own, I cant
even imagine what thats like, Martinez
said. Everyone Ive talked to has been so
responsive and want to do what they can. I
think everyones been waiting to find out
how they can help out and now, I think people see they can finally help out and do
something.
Martinez has been working with
Middletown Rancheria Tribal Chairman
Jose Moke Simon to find out how they
can help while families continue to reel
from the fire that torched more than 76,000
acres.
Its been absolutely devastating. Its
just been tough for everybody. If you didnt
lose your home, you have someone living
with you that did lose their home, Simon
said. Kids lost everything, their bikes.
And it just came up as an opportunity to
help in the community and make the kids
feel a little bit better about things as we go

FOOD
into the holidays.
Simon said hes grateful for the firefighters who put their lives on the line to help
save as many properties as they could and
for people like Martinez who continue to
step up and show support for other communities.
Numerous San Mateo County firefighters
were called to assist in combating the blaze
through Californias Master Mutual Aid
System; including San Mateo firefighter
Gino Lavezzo.
Lavezzo said he was part of a strike team
typically comprised of 22 personnel and
five engines that was led by his dad Ron
Lavezzo, a division chief with the Millbrae
Fire Department.
Called up north the day after the fast-moving blaze began, Lavezzo said they spent 10
days helping put out hot spots and assisting
those who returned to find their homes had
been turned into little more than ash.
It just blew through there pretty rapidly
so it was pretty much just the foundation of
a house and a lot of ash. It was like nothing
Ive ever seen or will probably ever see
again. Being up there was pretty eye-opening and just seeing the people come back to
their places, they pretty much lost every-

THE DAILY JOURNAL

thing. And hearing their stories about how

fast it was coming in and how a lot of people barely got out, that was the toughest
part, families getting back in there and taking inventory of what they had left,
Lavezzo said.
He recalled helping one family bury their
numerous pets that died in the fire after the
people were forced to flee. But there were
points where Lavezzo said he felt satisfaction knowing he was giving back. As they
would sift through the ashes, residents were
immensely grateful when a firefighter
uncovered even one small belonging. The
bike giveaway will hopefully help keep that
sentiment going, Lavezzo said.
Itll bring back a little bit of normalcy,
to get back to a kind of normal life. Because
they got hit pretty hard, Lavezzo said. It
was tough for all of them but, in a way, it
was a rewarding experience to be up there
and just helping people. Even if it was the
most miniscule thing, even if it was something really small, if you could find one
thing for them it really made their day. So I
think this event will really give back to the
community.
Martinez said hes proud the department
supports causes such as this from their
Toys for Tots Program, to the Chili CookOff benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy
Association, firefighters often go above
and beyond.
Now, he hopes the community at large
will help support the children who already
live in one of the states poorest counties
and were affected by the Valley Fire.

With a $5,000 donation courtesy of the

South San Francisco Rotary Club, Martinez
said hes glad theyre off to a good start. But
they still seek to raise at least $30,000 to
refund the Toys for Tots Program that typically only benefits local kids. The San
Francisco Fire Department has also donated
28 bikes through its own Toys for Tots program. Martinez also thanked Talbots
Toyland in San Mateo for offering a discount on the bikes and the owners of the
Hillsdale Shopping Center for allowing
them to set up a booth during the holidays
to collect donations.
The cool thing is, our membership, the
guys in our fire department, have always
just rallied, Martinez said. Because its
the right thing to do.
Lavezzo said hes happy to help, particularly after seeing the damage inflicted by
the wildfire.
Theyve probably got a long road to
recovery in Middletown and Cobb
Mountain. It was utter devastation, whole
blocks, Lavezzo said. I think theres been
a lot of outpouring from a lot of people.
Andy [Martinez] brought this event together, and I think itll definitely help.

Kombucha makers ask feds for new alcohol test

By Kristen Wyatt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER A tangy fermented tea

called kombucha has moved from the
natural foods aisle to the mainstream.
But its also moved into the hot seat
amid renewed concerns that it can contain low levels of alcohol.
Five years after alcohol levels
detected in kombucha prompted
nationwide recalls, federal authorities
again are warning producers to relabel
their products to indicate alcohol content or face fines. But this time around
dozens of producers are resisting, and
have asked for new federal tests to help
them avoid running afoul of alcohol
laws.
Kombucha is a tea that has been fermented with bacteria and yeast, giving
it a tart, vinegar-like zip and high levels of bacteria that some believe
impart health benefits. And its hugely
popular. Sales of kombucha jumped
nearly five times between 2013 and
2015, to about $600 million a year,
according to retail analysts at Markets
and Markets.
The teas fermentation process dates
back centuries, but its popularity in
recent years has landed kombucha in
the sights of the U.S. Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Thats
because the fermentation process can
give the drink too much alcohol for it
to be legally sold as a non-alcoholic
beverage.
Kombucha makers complain that the
alcohol threshold that triggers the law
0.5 percent is too low to intoxicate people, pointing out that many
fruit naturally ferment on shelves to
about the same level. But federal
authorities over the years have sent
kombucha makers letters threatening
fines when tests indicate that kombucha on store shelves is too alcoholic.
Kombucha tea naturally walks the
line of what federal authorities consider an alcoholic beverage. Yeast and
sugars in the tea create both the desired
bacteria and alcohol. A kombucha tea
can edge toward 1 percent alcohol if it

is aged and not refrigerated. Thats

about a quarter as strong as a Bud
Light, which is 4.2 percent alcohol,
but still is too alcoholic to be sold to
minors.
The latest federal intervention in the
kombucha market came late this summer, when fine letters went to an undisclosed number of kombucha makers
nationwide, said bureau spokesman
Tom Hogue. He declined to specify
how many brewers products failed
alcohol tests, or how many producers
have been fined. What were concerned about here is that when a consumer picks up a product, they know
the product is alcoholic, Hogue said.
The letters have kombucha brewers
on edge.
Its almost like a witch hunt, said
Tom Nieder, founder of Companion
Kombucha in St Louis. He hasnt
received an enforcement letter, but said
brewers are fighting comparisons to
alcohol or other drinks.
Kombucha is one of many fermented
foods enjoying a renaissance. From
kimchi (a Korean pickled cabbage
dish) to kefir (fermented milk with a
yogurt-like tang), fermented foods
deliver good bacteria to the digestive system. Some fermented drinks
such as pulque, a milky agave drink
native to Mexico that often is about 3
percent alcohol have always been
sold as alcoholic beverages.
Kombucha brewers say the agency
needs a new alcohol test specific to fermented drinks. They say the commonly used test to determine alcohol by
volume (often listed as ABV on alcoholic beverages) doesnt account for
naturally occurring sediment in kombucha, from bits of tea leaves to
strands of yeast.
Were working on a more accurate
test that will show people that kombucha is not an alcoholic beverage,
said Hannah Crum, head of the Los
Angeles-based Kombucha Brewers
International group, an industry advocate.
The federal agency says it is interested in an alcohol test specific to fermented beverages. But in the mean-

and sugars in the tea create both the desired bacteria and alcohol.
time, it says it wont stop issuing
fines when it gets reports of products
that exceed alcohol limits using existing tests.
The kombucha testing dilemma
caught the interest of a Colorado congressman who wrote to the bureau
seeking a reprieve for some fined kombucha makers. In his Sept. 14 letter,
Democratic Rep. Jared Polis argued
that kombucha stays below the alcohol threshold when refrigerated.
Eight spoiled kombuchas are roughly
the equivalent of one beer, but that
doesnt mean we should regulate it like
we do alcohol it makes absolutely
no sense, Polis wrote.
The agency politely declined the
reprieve request, saying it wont hold
off fining kombucha makers until
theres a new test. Instead the agency
re-released an industry bulletin about
the testing policy.
Punishing kombucha producers for
a grocery stores or consumers error is
like punishing a farmer when a supermarket sells spoiled milk, Polis
wrote back via an email.

D.TECH
Continued from page 1
Oracle CEO Safra Catz publicly
unveiled plans Tuesday, Oct. 27, during the Oracle OpenWorld Conference
in San Francisco to complete construction of the new d.tech school in 2017.
The Daily Journal reported in June
groundwork was being laid to pave the
way for d.tech, the only charter school
in the San Mateo Union High School
District, to move onto the Oracle campus, offering a solution to officials
who had struggled to cope with the
contention that arose when d.tech was
located on the campus of Mills High
School in Millbrae.
Under the plan for the move, the
business software maker will provide
the land and build the 64,000-squarefoot school, which will be focused on
offering a curriculum in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. The school campus will
accommodate up to 550 students and
30 teachers.
Ken Montgomery, director and
founder of d.tech, expressed enthusiasm for the unique opportunity his
school has been granted.
D.tech will be the worlds first educational institution located on a high-

faced as rents in the county continue to
soar.
During the meeting, the council
heard an introduction of an ordinance
requiring developers to pay impact
fees for all projects submitted after
Sept. 21, 2015.
The proposal is to charge developers
impact fees ranging from $5 to $25 per
square foot. A recent nexus study links
the need to build affordable housing
with construction of new commercial
developments.
The fees includes $20 per square feet
for market-rate residential condominiums and apartments and office developments. The fee will be $25 per
square foot for single-family and townhome construction of five units or
more.
A lesser fee would be applied to retail
and hotel developments at $5 per
square foot.
Developers who pay area standard
wages to its workers will also be given
a rebate, the council decided Monday.
Some of public speakers at the meeting, however, urged the council to

immeasurable opportunities, said
Montgomery. We are incredibly
grateful to Oracle for giving d.tech a

students who will transform our community and world for the better.
According to previous reports, the
school would be built on an undeveloped parcel adjacent to Belmont
Slough and the Bay Trail in Redwood
City, near 350 Oracle Parkway.
Students would not have designated
space for athletics or activities beyond
the classroom, but facilities such as
the gym, convention center and
kitchen located on the Oracle campus
would be shared with the school.
D.tech is currently housed on property at Rollins Road in Burlingame
owned by the San Mateo County Office
of Education. Officials are counting on
the school eventually moving to the

an estimated fortune of $54 billion
that has enabled him to buy most of
the Hawaiian island of Lanai, own
elaborate homes around the world and
bankroll two victories in sailings

premier race, the Americas Cup.

But Ellison isnt financing d.tech.
Oracle is footing the entire bill,
though the company isnt disclosing
how much it expects to spend.
Catz stressed the company wouldnt
be getting involved if Ellison hadnt
sketched out a vision to create a school
where students learn to think.
Although Oracle will own the high
school, the company wont be
involved in the curriculum. D. tech
gained Oracles financial support
because it reflects Larrys vision for a
unique high school founded on principles we believe in: innovation, creativity, problem-solving and designthinking, Catz said.
Oracles commitment to d. tech
comes less than a week after
Facebooks billionaire CEO Mark
Zuckerberg, and his wife, Priscilla
Chan, announced plans to finance a
school for preschool through eighthgrade students in one of Silicon
Valleys least affluent communities,
East Palo Alto. The Primary School
will provide health care services in
addition to educational instruction for
up to 700 students.
Zuckerberg and Chan also have
given $100 million to schools in New
Jersey and pledged to donate another
$120 million to other schools located
in low-income communities in the San
Francisco Bay Area.

ditch the idea, including Dennis

Martin with the Bay Area Building
Industry Association.
He said the fees would discourage
developers from building in Redwood
City and said instead that the region
should pursue bonds to build more
affordable housing.
Another developer said the 21
Elements nexus study was flawed.
The study is an undertaking by San
Mateo County and 14 cities that takes
into account the types of housing
being constructed, household income,
affordability gap and the link to new
jobs created when housing or offices
come online.
The council will vote on the updated
impact fee ordinance at a future meeting.
It also moved toward amending
municipal code to encourage the construction of accessory dwelling units
or cottages in the citys residential
neighborhoods.
The city has received only two applications in the past year to build second
units on their properties, said
Michelle Littlefield, with the citys
Community
Development
Department.
The city is moving toward tweaking
required setbacks and other rules such
as parking restrictions to incentivize
home owners to build cottages on their
properties.
The policy change is meant to

increase the housing stock in residential neighborhoods. The rules will also
require that home owners must live on
the property if they do have a cottage
in their backyards.
Monday nights meeting concluded
with the consideration by council of
an amendment to the Downtown
Precise Plan to reserve 10 percent of
the residential development allocation
approved for the area to be affordable
housing.
The precise plan allows for the construction of 2,500 new housing units
downtown. The 10 percent allocation
would create 250 units of affordable
housing downtown.
But Vice Mayor Rosanne Foust suggested the number should be 15 percent and the rest of the council unanimously agreed.
That will create 375 new units of
affordable housing and they will be set
aside for very-low and low-income residents, Foust said.
The city has shown a deep commitment toward building more housing,
she said.
We need to keep people in the community, Foust said about residents
who cannot afford escalating rents.
The average rent for a one-bedroom
apartment in the county is now
$2,516, a 50.2 percent increase in four
years, according to a housing indicators report released in July by the
countys Housing Authority.
