DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Exhausted with the struggle to

afford the constantly climbing
cost of living locally, teachers in
the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District are
calling for a pay raise.
But district officials claiming
they are compassionate to the
desire of local teachers to live in
the community where they work,
say compensation hikes are not
the sole solution to a housing
problem plaguing the region.
The two sides are currently
engaged in contract negotiations,
and representatives from the districts teachers union are interested
in seeking salaries hiked to the
top 10 percent of similar districts
in San Mateo County, which they
claim would help educators afford
to live alongside the students they
teach.
School officials have pledged a
willingness to offer a raise,
according to Donna Lewis, the districts assistant superintendent of
Human Resources, but there is not
enough money available in the
districts coffers to stay competitive with rising costs in the
scorching local housing market.
The struggle to pay teachers
enough money to live in San
Mateo County is not unique to the
local elementary school district,
said Lewis.
Districts in general cannot
afford to give the kind of raises
they would need to live here,
Lewis said. A 25 percent raise
would not make it affordable for
plications from cancer which had

spread to his lungs, said Karen
Ochsenhirt.

$37M sought for new SamTrans equipment

Federal funds could replace 115 diesel buses, electric vehicles still considered
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County transit officials are

seeking a $30 million grant to
fund the replacement of 115 aging
gas-powered SamTrans buses and
minivans nearing the end of their
useful life.
While still interested in eventually considering electric vehicle

technology, SamTrans is moving
to swap a large portion of its nearly 320 full-size bus fleet with
newer diesel equipment.
The SamTrans Board of
Directors agreed last week to offer
more than $7.2 million in local
funds to match the $30.2 million

its

from
the
Metropolitan

Commission.
If awarded the grant, SamTrans
plans to replace 60 Gillig buses
built in 2003 and 55 NABI articulated buses manufactured in 2002.
The funds would also support

buses, replacing minivans and

Alleged killer seeks court-appointed attorney

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Alleged killer Anthony Kirincic was set to

appear in court Tuesday with his own attorney to enter a plea in the stabbing death of
his girlfriend but instead requested a public
defender to represent him.
Kirincic, wearing an orange jumpsuit,
stood and answered a few simple questions
from a felony court judge while some family
members of the victim, Colleen Straw, sat
and stared at the man accused of slashing
Straws neck just days after being released
from county jail for allegedly beating her
earlier this year.
Kirincic is in custody on no-bail status for
allegedly stabbing Straw multiple times in
the afternoon of Nov. 28. She phoned 911
to report the crime before dying of her
injuries later in the day.
Kirincic, too, stared out into the courtroom a few times briefly during Tuesdays
court proceedings.
The victims family did not speak to the
press.
It is not clear whether

any of Kirincics family
or friends were in the
courtroom. After the
stabbing, police conducted an extensive manhunt for the suspect, who
was found two days later
hiding at his mothers
Redwood City home.
Anthony
Police evacuated the
Kirincic
neighborhood that night
before taking Kirincic, 22, into custody.
Last week, the defendant initially asked
for court-appointed counsel and then asked
the court for time to retain private counsel,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
He is due back in court Dec. 22 with a public defender to enter a plea on charges of
murder.
Straw, 34, worked as a graphic designer
and is the daughter of Ann and Dr. William
Straw of Los Altos. She graduated from San
Francisco State University in 2009 and
worked for American Greetings.
Court records and neighbors recall a troubled past between Straw and Kirincic. She
had an active restraining

order against Kirincic as
well as another man,
Graham Reis, at the time
of her murder, according
to police and court
records.
Kirincic pleaded no
contest to felony domesColleen Straw tic violence and served
60 days for an attack during which he punched her in the nose and
attempted to suffocate her with a pillow
Sept. 26, according to prosecutors.
Kirincic was released from jail shortly
before the murder and was ordered to have no
contact with the victim. He also failed to
appear in court on a separate misdemeanor
charge for attacking Reis while they were
both in custody Oct. 27.
In that case, Kirincic allegedly beat and
kicked Reis while the two were in jail.
Kirincic was reportedly upset with Reis,
who introduced him to Straw.
Kirincic will also answer to the misdemeanor charge when he returns to court Dec.
22.

LOCAL/STATE
Report: Three state health

organizations had data risks
By Robert Jablon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Three MediCal health providers risked having data stolen on thousands of
patients because of security problems ranging from outdated antivirus software to retaining the
computer passwords of fired
workers, according to a federal
study released Tuesday.
The Department of Health and
Human Services reviewed information system controls for three
managed-care organizations from
2012 to 2015 and found 74 potentially high-risk vulnerabilities,
according to a report from the
inspector generals office.
The study didnt identify the
three organizations for security
reasons and didnt investigate
whether the three organizations
had suffered any data breaches.
An important way to guard
against medical identity theft that
can result from an exposed data
vulnerability is to closely monitor your health plans explanation of benefits forms and personal credit reports from the three
major credit reporting agencies,
said Donald White, spokesman
for the inspector generals office

of the federal department.
California has 87 managed care
organizations that serve 9.5 million Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
The federal findings raise concerns about the integrity of the
systems used to process Medicaid
managed-care claims, but they
dont necessarily mean all the
organizations face the same vulnerabilities, the report said,
because the organizations had
minor differences in their information systems.
The report didnt provide many
explicit details, but it said it
found problems with access,
information storage and database
security. For instance, the report
said, one organization failed to
properly encrypt health data on
portable devices such as flash
drives, and one organization didnt track and verify that it had
sanitized or removed data from
and disposed of flash drives and
other devices.
One managed-care organization
did not disable user accounts for
terminated employees in a timely
manner, increasing the risk of an
unauthorized person accessing
the data, the report said.

Dec. 1. These included three that

Gas prices keep dropping

Californians are gearing up to
drive more and pay less for gas
this holiday season, with significant savings as prices continue to
fall, according to the latest AAA
Fuel Gauge Report.
Pump prices are down 18 cents
with the average price of unleaded
regular at $2.68 per gallon in the
state. The current average price in
California is the same as Monday,
and 29 cents less than a year ago.
In San Mateo, the average cost for
a gallon of gas is $2.72, down 21
cents. All Northern California
cities surveyed by AAA post double-digit decreases since last
months AAA report.
The least expensive fuel can be
found in Marysville, where the
average price for a gallon of regu-
lar is $2.31. The highest price is

in San Francisco, where the average price is $2.76 a gallon, a
$0.24 drop from the last gas survey from AAA, which provides
the data as a customer service.
The national average price is
$2.03 and is predicted to soon fall
below the $2 per gallon mark
before the end of the year for the
first time since 2009. Pump
prices have fallen for 29 of the
past 31 days, according to AAA.
The Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC) decision at its meeting
last week to sustain its current
production levels sent ripples
through the global oil market and
has contributed to lower oil
prices. The cartel is not scheduled
to reconvene until June 2016, and
in the interim the imbalance
between supply and demand will
likely persist.
Market watchers will remain
focused on the Federal Reserve,
which is expected to raise interest
rates on the heels of a strong U.S.
jobs report. A higher interest rate
typically leads to a stronger U.S.
dollar, which makes oil relatively
more expensive for those holding
foreign currencies. The combination of these factors could to further exacerbate the global oil
markets state of oversupply and
keep downward pressure on
prices. The domestic oil market is
also reflecting signs of oversupply, according to AAA.

Supreme court tackles Texas

one person, one vote case
equal population have dramatically different numbers of eligible
voters, shouldnt Texas at least
give some consideration to this
disparity that you have among
voters? Kennedy asked.
Later he wondered whether
states could produce districts that
were roughly equal in terms of
overall population and eligible
voters, saying, Why is one
option exclusive of the other?
Why cant they have both?
Texas Solicitor General Scott
Keller said such an outcome could
only be achieved at the expense
of other traditional requirements
about redistricting, including
drawing relatively compact districts that dont split counties.
Kennedy sounded persuaded.

Supreme Court justices appeared reluctant on Tuesday to endorse a

conservative challenge to the way Texas draws state legislative districts in
a case that could shrink the political clout of Latinos and boost the power
of rural voters.
That sounds highly probable to
me, he said.
The Texas case was one of three
matters before the court on
Tuesday that dealt with redistricting.
The justices also considered a

challenge from Republicans over
whether Arizonas state legislative districts were redrawn in a way
that illegally shifted voters to
give Democrats an advantage.
House tightens controls on visa-free travel to U.S.

The legislation takes aim at the

visa waiver program that allows citizens of 38 countries to travel to the

WASHINGTON Practical concerns about forcing states to

abandon the way they have drawn
electoral districts for more than
50 years seemed to give a key justice pause Tuesday in a Supreme
Court case of immense importance to the nations growing
Latino population.
The court heard arguments in a
case from Texas on the meaning
of the principle of one person,
one vote, which the court has
said requires that political districts be roughly equal in population.
But it has left open whether
states must count all residents, or
only eligible voters, in drawing

district lines.
In Texas, and other states with
large immigrant populations, the
difference is more than academic.
Urban districts include many more
people who are too young, not
citizens or otherwise ineligible to
vote.
Two rural Texas voters are challenging the use of total population data in drawing state Senate
districts because they say it
inflates the voting power of city
dwellers at their expense.
Their arguments seemed to
make some headway Tuesday with
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the
pivotal vote on so many close
high court cases.

Trump shrugs off GOP rejections of proposal to ban Muslims

By Jill Colvin Bruce and Smith
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. Donald

Trump is standing by his call to block
Muslims from entering the United States,
even as the idea draws condemnation from
rival Republican presidential candidates,
party leaders and others as un-American and
potentially dangerous.
I dont care about them, Trump told CNN
Tuesday in a telephone interview, when
asked about denunciation by GOP leaders.
Im doing whats right.
Trumps call on Monday for a total and
complete shutdown of Muslims entering the
United States has drawn an unusually forceful level of rebuke from across the nation and
abroad. British Prime Minister David
Cameron slammed it as divisive, unhelpful
and quite simply wrong. Muslims in the
United States and around the world denounced
it as unconstitutional, offensive or both. The
front page of The Philadelphia Daily News
featured a photo of Trump holding his right
hand out as if in a Nazi salute with the headline The New Furor.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling decried

Trump on Twitter as worse than her fictional
villain Lord Voldemort.
This is not conservatism, Republican
House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters after
a closed-door GOP caucus meeting. What
was proposed yesterday is not what this
party stands for, and more importantly its
not what this country stands for.
But Trump, who appears to revel in controversy, didnt back down, saying that banning Muslims until our countrys representatives can figure out what the hell is going
on is warranted after last months attacks by
Muslim extremists in Paris and last weeks
shootings in San Bernardino that killed 14.
We are now at war, Trump said, adding:
We have a president who doesnt want to say
that.
Trumps proposed ban would apply to
immigrants and visitors alike, a sweeping
prohibition affecting adherents of a religion
practiced by more than a billion people
worldwide. The current Republican front-runner announced his plan to cheers and
applause at a Monday evening rally in South
Carolina.

Pope: Mercy trumps moralizing

as he opens Vatican Holy Door
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis pushed
open the great bronze doors of St. Peters
Basilica on Tuesday to
launch his Holy Year of
Mercy, declaring that
mercy trumps moralizing
in his Catholic Church.
Francis stood in prayer
on the threshold of the
basilicas Holy Door
then walked through it,
Pope Francis the first of an estimated
10 million faithful who
will pass through over the course of the
next year in a rite of pilgrimage dating
back centuries.
A thin and frail Emeritus Pope Benedict
XVI walked through the doorway right after
Francis, gingerly negotiating the two
steps with the help of a cane and his longtime assistant. It was a rare outing for the
88-year-old Benedict, whose historic resignation led to Francis election and a
papacy dedicated to showing the merciful
side of the church.
Some 5,000 extra police, carabinieri and
soldiers have been deployed around Rome,
and a no-fly zone imposed on its skies, to
protect the pilgrims who are flocking to
Rome on foot, by car, train and plane to
participate in the yearlong celebration.
Security was heightened after the Vatican
was listed as a possible target following
the Paris attacks, but the extra police
patrols and traffic stops extended far
beyond the immediate vicinity of the
Vatican or even the other main pilgrimage
sites in Rome.
Nigerians: Cameroon troops

burned our village, forced us out
FUFORE, Nigeria Cameroonian
troops crossed the border into Nigeria,
killed about 150 villagers, burned their
huts and forced them to flee, Nigerian
refugees said Tuesday after walking for days
to reach a refugee center.
WORLD
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Around the world

Cameroons government denied the
charges, that come amid growing tensions
between Nigeria and its neighbors over the
Boko Haram Islamic uprising that has
spilled over Nigerias borders.
Farmer
Mariamu Abubakar
said
Cameroonian soldiers on Nov. 30 killed
about 150 people in his village near
Nigerias Banki border post, stole their
livestock and set their huts ablaze.
He was among 643 refugees who arrived
Monday night at Adamawas Fufore transit
center. Soldiers who screened them said
they came from Gamboru to Banki, a 150kilometer (95-mile) stretch along Nigerias
border with Cameroon.
While it is unclear who attacked whom
and why, it is a real humanitarian disaster, said David Miliband, the visiting
president of the New York-based
International Rescue Committee. They are
unable to go home because its not yet safe
and because they fear for their lives.
Venezuela opposition wins

supermajority in National Assembly
CARACAS, Venezuela Electoral
authorities in Venezuela say the opposition
coalition won a key two-thirds majority in
the National Assembly in legislative voting.
The National Electoral Council has published on its website the final tally of
results from Sundays elections showing
that two previously undecided races had
broken in favor of the opposition, giving
them 112 out of 167 seats in the incoming
National Assembly. The ruling socialist
party and its allies got 55 seats.
The supermajority gives the opposition
a strong hand in trying to wrest power
from President Nicolas Maduro after 17
years of socialist rule. It now has the
potential votes to sack Supreme Court justices, initiate a referendum to revoke
Maduros mandate and even convoke an
assembly to rewrite Hugo Chavezs 1999
constitution.

Russia launches new airstrikes

in Syria; first from submarine
By Vladmir Isachenkov
MOSCOW Russia has unleashed another barrage of airstrikes against targets in

Syria, including the first combat launch of a
new cruise missile from a Russian submarine
in the Mediterranean Sea, the countrys
defense minister said Tuesday.
The Kalibr cruise missiles launched by the
Rostov-on-Don submarine successfully hit
the designated targets in Raqqa, Defense
Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President
Vladimir Putin. The submarine was in a submerged position during the launch, he added.
Putin noted that the new cruise missile can
be equipped with both conventional and
nuclear warheads, adding he hopes that the
latter will never be needed.
Shoigu said Tu-22 bombers flying from
their base in Russia also took part in the latest raids, performing 60 combat sorties in
the last three days.
He said the targets destroyed in the latest
wave of Russian airstrikes included a munitions depot, a factory manufacturing mortar
rounds and oil facilities belonging to terrorists.
Shoigu said the Russian military had
informed Israel and the United States about
the airstrikes before launching them. A U.S.
defense official, speaking on condition of
anonymity because he wasnt authorized to
discuss the matter publicly, confirmed that

Russia notified the U.S. in advance.
The U.S. official said at least 10 cruise
missiles were launched from Russian surface
ships in the Caspian Sea and at least one
missile was fired by a Russian submarine in
the eastern Mediterranean.
Russia has carried out its air campaign in
Syria since Sept. 30, using warplanes at an
air base in Syrias coastal province of
Latakia, as well as navy ships and longrange bombers flying from their bases in
Russia. While Moscow said its action has
been focused on the Islamic State group, the
U.S. and its allies have criticized Moscow
for also striking moderate rebel groups
opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Shoigu told Putin that Syrian army forces
had overtaken the area near the border with
Turkey where a Turkish jet shot down a
Russian warplane on Nov 24. He showed
Putin the planes flight recorder, which he
said Syrian and Russian troops had recovered
from the crash site.
Putin ordered the flight recorder to be studied in the presence of foreign experts, adding
that the data will show the planes flight
path.
Moscows relations with Ankara have
been badly strained over the downing.
Turkey said it shot down the aircraft after it
violated Turkeys airspace for 17 seconds
despite repeated warnings.

Editorial
gration control, the vast majority of
us likely just felt sad and a little confused. While there may be some merit
to further government control in
either arena, too often the pull is to
go where one was once comfortable as
far as reaction. It is far too easy to
trench and point ngers when it
comes to nding solutions and
assigning blame.
Yet we are more complex than that.
And the history of the people of the
United States shows we are compassionate and at our best when a crisis
hits. There does not seem to be the
same resolute demeanor in this
instance. Perhaps it is because we are
now aware of the times in which we
live a time in which there is fear in
our day-to-day lives with nebulous
enemies of various extremes. After the
terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, we as
a people sacriced our ability to travel on planes as we once did and actually invited more government surveil-
lance because we wanted to feel safe.

Now, movie theaters, schools and
even workplace events are places
where we feel a bit of unease. We scan
faces in the crowd and check their
demeanor and packages. We look for
exits as a movie is to begin. Its not a
welcome feeling, and discouraging
after we committed so many resources
in two recent wars in the Middle East.
Yet still, the vast majority of
Americans are not frantic in the face
of recent events. We are not casting
suspicion on entire swaths of people
because of how they look or how they
pray. We simply want to remain safe,
and we want our loved ones and fellow
Americans to remain safe. It would be
nice if our leaders and our media
reected that by removing the political bent from the discussion and stop
assigning sentiments that are not
largely ours. This is a time to come
together and seriously discuss practical and deliberate steps that need to be
taken to ensure the safety of the
American people. Everything else is
just noise, and not helpful.
Local housing shortage drives market rate

By Gina Zari
uch of the current debate

about the rental housing
market in San Mateo
County is based on a faulty premise.
While rental affordability is slightly
lower than it has been in years past, it
is only that, slightly lower. The staggering rental rates that some interest
groups regularly cite do not accurately
represent the whole rental housing
market. They only represent a tiny
fraction of the market: vacant rentals.
The real problem facing the rental
housing market in San Mateo County
is the scarcity of vacant units, which
has had a signicant impact on the
price of those units that are available.
It is the simple principle we learned
back in basic economics in middle
school, the concept of supply and
demand. The lower the supply, the
higher the demand. High demand
forces up the price of rental housing,
just like it would any other commodity.
The vast majority of rental housing
in San Mateo County is far more
affordable than the current market
rate cited by some advocates in the
debate over rental housing mandates,
such as rent control and just cause
eviction.
Its no surprise that we have greater
demand for housing in San Mateo
County than we have supply. In the
past year, the Bay Area created
114,000 new jobs largely in the
tech industry while adding only
8,000 new units of housing. We have
a housing shortage.

Since weve seen

such an imbalance
in the inux of new
jobs to new housing
regionally
demand to supply
we cannot reasonably expect housing
rates, or rental
housing rates, to
remain low. Instead, we can expect,
the more jobs we add, the more expensive our housing market and the more
crowded our roads.
Special interest advocates who wish
to see lower rental rates in San Mateo
County should redirect their energy to
the only effort that will truly contribute to the affordability of rental
housing, the creation of additional
units of housing. All types of additional units of housing are needed to
address our housing shortage, workforce housing, affordable units, multifamily units and single family homes.
In addition to typical housing
options, we need to start looking outside the box to less conventional
options such as secondary units, home
sharing, micro units and tiny homes.
We need to institute smart growth
by focusing on creating the greatest
number of new units in transit corridors, where people can take advantage
of public transportation.
Our local elected and appointed ofcials can help address our housing
shortage by streamlining the permitting process, reducing regulations,
incentivizing development and
approving worthy development projects. They can be proactive in identi-

fying locations that would be ideal for
new workforce housing projects,
multi-family developments or senior
living housing.
Local residents can help by paying
attention to the decisions made by our
elected ofcials, understanding that
our thriving local economy is due, in
large part, to the success of our local
businesses that employ people
people who need housing. One of the
biggest obstacles that must be overcome for our housing shortage to be
resolved is the overwhelming sentiment of NIMBYism. Smart growth
must take place and we must all understand that the concept of Not-In-MyBack-Yard only stands in the way.
As long as there is a scarcity of
housing, and demand exceeds supply,
those few available units will continue
to set a market rate that is far more
pricey than the overall rental housing
rate. But, with a local community that
is united in the effort to solving the
housing shortage, there is much that
can be done to improve the affordability of rental housing in San Mateo
County.

e have a feeling that the
general mood and spirit of
the nation is far different
than what is being portrayed by the
media and our politicians.
The recent terror attack in San
Bernardino was a shocking event and
shook many of us deeply. If the terror
attacks in France resonated because
they were in the west, and not in areas
where such incidents occur regularly,
then the attacks in San Bernardino
should have a deeper effect. The
attacks made us feel vulnerable, insecure, afraid, angry and perplexed. We
looked to the media and our government for answers, and those answers
were slow in coming and confusing
once they arrived. Initially, many
resorted to the rote responses to any
type of violence in our nation
more gun control, less gun control.
After it was revealed that the attack
was not another in our ongoing saga
of mass shootings, but rather the
result of terrorism, the reaction was
more complex for many. While some
still soapboxed gun control or immi-

ur situation is piled high with difficulties,

and we must rise to the occasion. As our
case is new, we must think that we must act
anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall
save our country. Abraham Lincoln, 1862.
When we watch television and read the newspapers and
come across items about gang rape, mass shooting,
scary statistics about the economy and the antics of
unscrupulous politicians, its easy to become so disgusted and upset about the state of things that we want to
throw in the towel, hide in a cave or alter our consciousness in one way or another. We may think, Whats the
use? or Why try to make a difference? And now, on the
day Im writing this, a few days after the slaughter in San
Bernardino, we are once again left in an anxious and
depressed state.
We grieve about mans inhumanity to man and wonder
what it is that turns men evil. We wonder how anyone
can be so brainwashed that
they turn into perpetrators
of mass destruction. We
grieve about a Congress
that even on the day after
the tragedy in San
Bernardino refused to pass
a bill that would bar suspected terrorists, felons
and the mentally ill from
possessing firearms. As
the Editorial Board of The
New York Times expressed
in their unprecedented
front page editorial on
Dec. 4: It is a moral outrage and national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed to kill people with brutal speed
and efficiency.
We wonder what has happened to peoples brains that
makes them want to go out and destroy the innocent. We
ask these and many more questions and wonder what we
can do to bring some joy to this holiday season.
We wonder if it isnt more conducive to our mental
health to just not care any more to try to protect our
little corner of the world as best we can and live for
whatever distraction and enjoyment today can bring and
trying to forget the rest. We see so many people around
us doing this that we wonder if we, who have tried to be
involved and caring up to now, should join what it seems
is the uninvolved majority. Such a situation can make us
lose hope that things will improve, yet one of the most
devastating things that can occur in this country would
be for us to give up the idea that we can make a difference.
Trying to deal with injustice, irresponsibility, dishonesty and evil seems so futile. Yet the belief that we are
capable and competent enough to make a difference in
some way is critical to our health and happiness. It is
also basic to self-respect, self-confidence, self-esteem
and optimism, which are all inextricably linked to hope.
As Voltaire once said, Life is a shipwreck, but dont forget to sing in the lifeboats.
Theres much we can do to generate hope. We can
become involved in the positive aspects of the holiday
season a celebration of hope in whatever way our
beliefs encourage. Though some days can seem dark and
dreary and events are often very dismaying, we can offer
a cheerful greeting, come together in good will and
rekindle the warmth of love and the feeling that there
may be hope for humankind after all.
Doing something during the holiday season to sustain
or renew hope in our lives and that of others will benefit
all of us. We can focus on what we have, not on what we
lack and, in the process, donate to those less fortunate.
We can simplify our schedules so we have time to relax
and absorb some of the atmosphere and the spirit of the
season. We can make a point of spending time with people (including our children and grandchildren) who lift
our spirits and help us feel good about ourselves. And if
our storehouse of hope still needs restocking, maybe we
need to turn off the television news and avoid reading the
grim reports in the newspapers until we feel a bit more
positive and optimistic. But we must not forget what
happened on Dec. 2, or on 9/11, or at Sandy Hook or
Colorado Springs, ad nauseam. During the next year of
frantic political maneuvering, we must support those
politicians, legislators and media who are at least making an effort to do something about the lax gun control
laws in the United States. We must elect candidates who
have the welfare of all of us at heart instead of only
catering to their donors.
Its important to remember what the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. once said: Our lives begin to end on the
day we become silent about things that matter.

Business brief
Auto safety ratings to include
collision prevention systems
WASHINGTON The government on Tuesday announced
plans to update its safety rating system for new cars and
trucks to include whether the vehicle has technology to
avoid crashes, in addition to how well it protects occupants
in accidents.
The 5-star rating system now uses crash tests to assess
how well people inside are shielded from injury or death in
front, side and rollover crashes.
While that will remain a big factor in the ratings, they
also will take into account whether the vehicle has nine
technologies that can help prevent or lessen the severity of
crashes.
Those technologies include sensors that can detect an
imminent frontal collision and apply the brakes, or warn
drivers about vehicles in their blind spots or that theyre
drifting into another lane.
Some technologies automatically switch headlight high
beams to low beams when another vehicle is approaching,
help prevent rollovers, and employ amber rear turn signal
lights that drivers are quicker to identify as indicating a turn
rather than braking.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell for a

second day on Tuesday following a
wave of selling abroad on fears that a
slump in commodity prices was far
from over.
The selling began in Asia on disappointing trade figures from China,
then spread to Europe where stock
indexes in Germany, France and
Britain each dropped more than 1 percent. In the U.S., stocks fell sharply in
the morning, but later made back much
of the losses.
Still, the selling was broad, with
nine of the 10 sectors of the Standard
and Poors 500 index closing down.
Suppliers of raw materials fell the
most, down 1.9 percent. Energy companies dropped 1.5 percent.
A big focus for investors oil
slid again. After dropping for 1 1/2
years, U.S. benchmark crude costs just
$37.51 a barrel, near a seven-year low.
The energy sector has done a good
job grappling with mid-$40 oil, but
its tougher as you go under $40, said
Doug Cote, chief market strategist at
Voya Investment Management. The
energy sector is having trouble adapting.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 162.51 points, or 0.9 percent, to

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

17,568. It was down 245 points earlier.
The S&P 500 gave up 13.48 points,
or 0. 7 percent, to 2, 063. 59. The
Nasdaq composite slipped 3.6 points,
or 0.1 percent, to 5,098.24.
In Asia, Chinese customs data
showed exports from the worlds second largest economy contracted 6.8
percent in November, worse than
Octobers 3.6 percent fall. Imports
dropped 8.7 percent.
Mining stocks in particular were
slammed because China is a major

importer of raw materials, accounting
for as much as 50 percent of global
demand, according to consultants
PwC. Freeport-McMoran slumped 7
percent. Its down 71 percent this
year.
John Manley, chief stock strategist
at Wells Fargo Funds, said raw material
suppliers ramped up production too
much a few years ago as China stoked
its economy after the global financial
crisis.
Beijings smog crisis idles factories, boosts travel

By Joe McDonald
BEIJING Factories in Beijing that

make goods from cement to train cars
were shut down Tuesday to help ease
the Chinese capitals pollution crisis.
But it was a boon for some businesses,
boosting sales of air purifying equipment and travel to escape the haze.
Snack stands promoted sales of
pear and pomegranate juices, a traditional remedy for lung problems, as
the impact of traffic and other restrictions rippled through Beijings economy, which at $340 billion is bigger
than many countries.

Half the cars in this city of 20 million people were ordered off the
streets. Facilities in cement, petrochemicals and other industries were
told to close or reduce operations after
pollution soared to many times safe
levels.
Beijing Building Materials Group, a
major producer of cement and other
materials, closed several factories,
according to an employee of its public
relations department. He declined to
give his name or other details.
A factory operated by a unit of CNR
Group, one of Chinas biggest producers of railway cars, suspended paint
spraying and other work, according to

a city government statement.
City inspectors set up 650 video
cameras to watch construction sites
and confirm they obey dust-control
rules, the statement said.
Travel companies saw an uptick in
demand as some residents left Beijing
on smog holidays.
Ctrip.com, an online travel service,
has seen a 20 percent rise in sales of
packages marketed under a Skip the
Smog label to people in Beijing,
according to a company spokesman,
Shi Kaifeng. They included trips to
Tangshan, three hours from Beijing, or
as far away as Indonesia.
Lawsuits against VW to be consolidated in California

By Cain Burdeau
NEW ORLEANS A judicial panel

on Tuesday decided to consolidate hundreds of lawsuits against Volkswagen
over its emissions cheating scandal in
California, a focal point of the carmakers troubles.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation gave U.S. District Judge
Charles R. Breyer in San Francisco
oversight of more than 450 suits filed
against the carmaker across the
nation.
The panel met last week in New

Orleans to hear from numerous lawyers
who were seeking to get the suits consolidated in a particular federal district.
Volkswagen and the federal government asked the panel to centralize the
suits in Michigan.
Instead, the panel said it makes more
sense to turn California into the center
of the legal wrangling, in part because
there are so many VW owners and dealers there.
Lawyers for VW and the Justice
Department did not immediately return
messages seeking comment.

VW has admitted that 482,000 2liter diesel vehicles in the U.S. contained software that turned pollution
controls on during government tests
and off during real-world driving. The
government says another 85,000 6cylinder diesels also had cheating software.
VW says the software in the 6-cylinder diesels is different and is legal in
Europe, but it has halted sales of those
vehicles in the U.S. while it explains
its case to the government.

Thompson leads Warriors to 23rd straight win

By Michael Marot
INDIANAPOLIS The Golden State

Warriors followed the script perfectly for
three quarters Tuesday night.
Then things got a bit more interesting.
The defending NBA champions improved
to 23-0, with Klay Thompson scoring a season-high 39 points and Stephen Curry
adding 29 points, seven rebounds and 10
assists in a 131-123 victory over the
Indiana Pacers.
Thompson scored 29 points in the first
half, during which the

Warriors went on a 22-0
run. Golden State led by
28 in the fourth quarter
before the Pacers closed
within six in the final 25
seconds.
The Warriors have won
27 straight dating to last
Klay Thompson season, tying the 201213 Heat for the secondlongest streak in NBA history. The 1971-72
Lakers hold the record with 33 wins in a
row.
Golden State also has won 13 straight

road games this season, breaking a tie with
the 1969-70 Knicks for the leagues best
road start. The Warriors next play on Friday
night in Boston.
Indiana was led by Paul George with 33
points and C.J. Miles with 24.
Golden State broke away in the first quarter with its big burst, extended the lead to
50-28 early in the second quarter and led by
as much as 32 late in the third quarter.
But Indiana came back in the fourth, cutting the deficit to 129-123 with 24.8 seconds to go when George made a free throw

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A late-season collapse cost the

Aragon boys soccer team an Ocean
Division championship last season, but it didnt prevent the Dons
from being moved up to the Bay
Division this season.
Looks like Peninsula Athletic
League coaches got it right in promoting Aragon. The Dons appear
loaded this season and a lot of that
talent was on display as they
scored three times in each half of a
6-0 non-league win over visiting
Terra Nova Tuesday afternoon.
It was OK. It was pretty good,
Aragon coach Greg Markoulakis
said of his teams performance.
Were going to be strong (this
season).
What makes Aragon especially
potent offensively is not only
individual skill on the ball, but the
flexibility of most of the players
on the field. With the exception of
center backs Anthony Sandoval
and William Laird, nearly every
other starter for the Dons has the
ability to change positions.
Outside defenders
Rodrigo
Guzman and Oscar Romero pushed
up into the attack effortlessly on
overlaps. Josh Pearlman, who is
listed as striker, moved seamlessly
between a forward and midfield
position. Isaiah Diaz, Victor Lopez
and Miguel Morales all labeled
as strikers played well in the
midfield as well, distributing balls
to the wings and right up the gut.
Dakota Severson appears to be
one of the Dons full-time attackers
and he looked it, with a goal and
several other good scoring
chances.
Now, Markoulakis just needs to
get everyone to buy into and maintain his system.

after Draymond Green was called for a technical foul. That was as close as the Pacers
could get.
Indiana tied a dubious franchise record in
its NBA era by allowing 44 first-quarter
points and barely avoided another recordbreaking defensive low when it trailed 7960 at the half.
The Pacers gave up 44 points in the opening quarter at Chicago in December 1990
and a franchise-worst 80 points in the first
half at the Lakers in November 1978.
Aragon defender Oscar Romero, left, goes on the attack during the Dons 6-0 win over Terra Nova.
Big 12 football teams will now be required

to play at least one non-conference game
each season against a team from one of the
other Power Five leagues or Notre Dame.
Schedule strength is a key component in
CFP Selection Committee deliberations,
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
This move will strengthen the resumes for
all Big 12 teams.
No. 4 Oklahoma (11-1), the outright Big
12 champion, is in the College Football
Playoff this season. But 2014 league cochampions Baylor and TCU were left out of
the initial four-team playoff last year after
both were 11-1 in the regular season.
Under the plan announced Tuesday by the
league, each Big 12 team will have to annually play against the Fighting Irish or a team
from the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC.
Coupled with the nine-game full roundrobin conference schedule our teams play, it
will not only benefit the teams at the top of
our standings each season, but will impact
the overall strength of the conference,
Bowlsby said in a statement.
The Big 12s new scheduling requirement
doesnt affect existing non-conference game
contracts, though only Baylor and Kansas
are without a Power Five non-conference
opponent on their 2016 schedules. The
Jayhawks are the only school without one
scheduled for 2017.
Next season will be the seventh in a row
that Baylor doesnt play a non-conference
Power Five opponent, but the Bears are set
to play Duke from the ACC in 2017.
Baylors non-conference games in 2014,
when then the Bears were the first team left
out of the playoff, were against SMU,
Northwestern State and Buffalo.

to Calgary mostly clears school
CALGARY, Alberta Mikael Backlund had a goal and an

assist to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-2 win over the San
Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.
Markus Granlund, Sean Monahan and Michael Frolik also
scored, and Dennis Wideman and Mark Giordano had two
assists each as Calgary won its seven straight at home.
Karri Ramo, who has started three straight games and 15
of the past 16 for the Flames, made 31 saves to earn his
ninth win of the season.
Chris Tierney and Joe Thornton scored for the Sharks, losers of four straight. Logan Couture made his return to the San
Jose lineup after missing 23 games with a broken right fibula. He had an assist on Thorntons goal.
Martin Jones started in net for the Sharks and stopped 11
of 14 shots he faced before being replaced by Alex Stalock,
who made 17 saves in relief.
The Flames jumped out to a pair of leads in the first period, but both times the Sharks answered right back.
Granlund opened the scoring on the first shot of the game
at 1:45 when he took a cross-ice feed from Jiri Hudler and
snapped a shot over Jones blocker to the top corner.
The Sharks pulled even at 4:31 when Tierney swatted a
rebound past Ramo, who stopped the initial backhand shot
from the slot by Joonas Donskoi.
The Flames had a pair of great chances to take the lead, but
defenseman T.J. Brodie rang a shot off the post before Jones
stopped a redirection by Granlund with his mask.
Monahan put the Flames up 2-1 during a power play at
8:07, but the Sharks responded with a power-play goal of
their own by Thornton, who redirected a shot by Patrick
Marleau at 11:02.
Frolik scored on a backhand at 2:27 of the second to put
the Flames back up before Monahan one-timed a pass from
Johnny Gaudreau a short time later. Monahans goal was
waved off after video reviewed showed that the Flames had
gone offside on the play.
The Flames took a 4-2 lead at 8:59 of the second when
Backlund snapped a shot from the slot past Stalock.
The Sharks outshot the Flames 9-8 in the third but couldnt get any pucks past Ramo, who made a nice glove save to
stop a point shot by Brent Burns during a late power play.
NOTES: Both teams were missing key defensemen due to
injury. The Sharks were without Marc-Andre Vlasic (lower
body) for the second straight game, while Kris Russell
(upper body) missed his second game in a row for Calgary.
... The Flames had just one goal in their previous 28 powerplay chances before Monahans goal.
MINNEAPOLIS Top University of Minnesota officials

didnt know about athletic director Norwood Teagues conduct before he abruptly resigned for sexual harassment,
according to an external review Tuesday that also found no
fault with the general climate around the issue within the
sports department.
A separate financial audit, meanwhile, took issue with
thousands of dollars in spending by department employees
during Teagues administration and made several recommendations for tighter controls.
Teague stepped down in August after two high-ranking
university administrators reported he sexually harassed
them at a senior leadership retreat weeks earlier. Teague
acknowledged improper behavior and alcohol abuse in
resigning.
The review by an outside law firm didnt find major flaws
with the universitys vetting of Teague before he was hired.
The university had been criticized for missing a gender discrimination complaint against Teague when he worked at
Virginia Commonwealth University.
By and large, the athletics department reflects the
respect toward women that Minnesotans expect of this flagship educational institution, lead investigator Karen
Schanfield told the Board of Regents on Tuesday. We found
no systemic or pervasive inappropriate behavior in the athletics department when it comes to the treatment of
women.
Regents Chairman Dean Johnson promised decisive
action once officials fully digest the findings, which also
recommended improving response to sexual harassment
and strengthening hiring procedures.
If our policies have been violated, we will take corrective action, he said. Where there are problems, we will fix
them.
University President Eric Kaler said the review validated
his belief that the culture of the sports program is respectful and responsive but hell still propose changes quickly
to improve policies.
A separate review looked at expense practices within the
department, raising questions about some deals and spending under Teague.
Investigators did find that some Minnesota athletes lied
to investigators trying to follow up on a sexual harassment
complaint. While the universitys equal opportunity office
didnt find enough evidence to substantiate the harassment
allegation, the probe determined otherwise, saying there
was sufficient evidence to conclude that at least some of
the student athletes violated the universitys sexual
harassment policy.
Neither the review nor investigators identified the
sport, but the schools director of equal opportunity
reported in July that her office had received complaints
We found no systemic or
pervasive inappropriate behavior
in the athletics department when it
comes to the treatment of women.
Karen Schanfield, lead investigator
about football players.

Bill OBrien, an attorney for Teague, called the 700-page
report comprehensive and thorough, and asserted that questionable spending in the accompanying financial audit was
part of a culture that existed long before Norwood came to
the university.
The report largely clears the university, and it largely
clears Norwood Teague, OBrien said. This should end,
then, the months of false speculation about his conduct that
has ranged from the untrue to the absurd.
Teagues deputy, Mike Ellis, resigned in November after
being placed on leave in September when unspecified complaints also surfaced against him. Despite the claims
against its top two leaders, the general climate in the
department does not condone or tolerate sexual harassment, according to the review.
The outside investigators interviewed more than 100 people and studied 250,000 pages of documents, texts and
emails for the review, which cost $690,000 through Nov.
30.
The separate financial audit examined Teagues administration of the department and travel and expense reports by
his leadership team. Athletics administrators had $386,000
worth of expenses during his tenure; some are still under
review. In some instances, auditors found alcohol purchases were disguised under other expense headings or improperly charged to special purchasing cards.
Holiday parties, luxury hotel stays, private car services,
private plane charters and first-class airline tickets also
came under scrutiny.
Auditors also took issue with an agreement made under
Teague for rent-free use of TCF Bank Stadium for a concert
during the 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The
audit said the arrangement for the Imagine Dragons concert
was not fully vetted and that the fair-market value would
have been $319,855. The league was billed $187,000, but
it also got to keep net proceeds from concessions and merchandise. Instead of being paid, the university was given
tickets to the game at an average cost of $2,565 per ticket.
In response to the audit, interim athletic director Beth
Goetz said her staff is seeking reimbursement for questionable expenses and that all current employees have completed repayment. University auditor Gail Klatt said the school
will try to recover $6,669 from Teague and $434 from Ellis.
Schanfield, an employment lawyer, conducted the external review with former federal prosecutor Joseph Dixon.
Lawmaker sees New York legalizing daily fantasy sports

By Michael Virtanen
ALBANY, N.Y. The chairman of a state legislative committee with authority over gambling predicted Tuesday that
New York will legalize and regulate daily fantasy sports, no
matter how a court fight centered on the lucrative industry
turns out.
Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow, who leads the Committee on
Racing and Wagering, said the approach state lawmakers take
will depend on the outcome of a lawsuit filed by New York
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to block daily fantasy
sports operators FanDuel and DraftKings from conducting
what Schneiderman considers illegal gambling.
Scheiderman and the companies are waiting for a ruling
from Justice Manuel Mendez in state Supreme Court.
In either case were going to do something, said Pretlow,
a Westchester Democrat. He cited industry estimates that
between 2.5 million and 3.5 million New Yorkers are playing
daily fantasy sports online. If the court rules its illegal,
well do something probably to legalize it.
As they have in the court case, attorneys for both companies insisted at a legislative hearing Tuesday that daily fantasy sports is based materially on player skill, not luck.
Therefore, they say, it doesnt qualify as gambling under New
York law.
Players pay entry fees, which can range from $1 to more
than $10,000, and select a group of eight to 10 individual
professional athletes for their fantasy teams. They accumulate
scores depending on the stats of individual athletes.
Theyre general managers of virtual sports teams, said

attorney Jonathan Schiller, an attorney for Boston-based
DraftKings. The people who do the most research and have
the most knowledge win most of the money, he said.
The attorneys representing the companies and growing
industry acknowledged theres some chance involved, but
insisted its predominantly about skill. They also said the two
companies, which dominate the U.S. market, only take a portion of entry fees and facilitate the games, with most of the
money going to predetermined prizes. Season-long fantasy
sports have been around for about 20 years, while technology
has permitted the more recent daily games, they said.
Assemblyman L. Dean Murray, a Long Island Republican,
said he plays primarily as a form of entertainment and that
hes slightly ahead for the year. He has introduced legislation
to specifically remove daily fantasy sports from New Yorks
definition of games of chance, and alternatively, to amend
New Yorks Constitution to make another exception from its
general prohibition on gambling.
Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski, a Rockland County
Democrat, said hes played fantasy sports for a long time and
tried the daily game.
Theres certainly a lot of skill involved, he said.
If Mendez finds daily fantasy sports is legal under current
federal and state laws, Pretlow said New York will take steps to
regulate it. He said there should be consumer protections like
a prohibition on minors playing.
Pretlow said hes not a lawyer but he believes there wont be
a need to amend the constitution. He also said daily fantasy
sports looks like gambling.

Andre Botha, a boadyboarder, rescues surfer Evan Geiselman following a wipeout at Hawaiis
Pipeline surf break along Oahus North Shore.
Bodyboarder saves
surfer at Pipeline
By Caleb Jones
HONOLULU A bodyboarder said Tuesday

he thought a professional surfer he pulled
from the water at Hawaiis Pipeline surf spot
was dead.
South African bodyboarder Andre Botha
told the Associated Press that pro surfer Evan
Geiselmans eyes were rolled back in his
head, his face was dark blue and his body was
limp when he finally reached the 22-year-old
Florida surfer, who fell while riding a big
wave on Sunday.
I just remember his eyes sort of like
rolling down from being back, and just sort
of... just this blank look in his eyes, almost
like he was looking through me, Botha
said. I thought this guy was dead.
Botha said it took him some time to paddle
to the surfer, who was still pinned underwater
by subsequent waves when he arrived.
I went down and ... managed to get him
up. I think at that point I got hit by a wave
and he actually got knocked out of my arms,
Bocha said. I had to find him again.
Photographer Matt Castiglione, who was
filming Botha, captured video of the rescue.
The footage shows Botha pounding the
surfers chest and giving him rescue breaths
as waves continued to crash over the two.
Botha said he lost his grip on Geiselman
several times before help arrived.
The waves were still hitting ... I ended up
losing him again, Botha said. I knew I had
done what I could at that point.

Other surfers and lifeguards then arrived to
help the men, bringing the unconscious
surfer back to shore.
Castiglione said lifeguards brought the
surfer to shore and put him on a bench, where
Geiselman spit up buckets and buckets of
water.
It was really scary when they finally
brought him in, Castiglione said. Evan
was still very blue, unconscious and foaming
at the mouth.
The large swell that passed through the
region over the weekend prompted the
National Weather Service to issue high surf
warnings for the region, saying waves from
30-40 feet were expected.
Tom Birchard, National Weather Service
senior forecaster in Honolulu, said that some
waves in the state reached heights over 40
feet high. Castiglione estimated the wave
that trapped Geiselman underwater was about
20 feet high.
Honolulu Department of Emergency
Services spokeswoman Shayne Enright said
the surfer was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Enright also praised
the other surfers in the water, saying their
efforts helped save the mans life. The
Queens Medical Center in Honolulu said
Tuesday Geiselman had been released from
their care.
Another swell is moving through the
region Tuesday and Wednesday with surf
heights forecast to be around 20-30 feet.
Despite missing a number of key contributors who are still playing football, the
Gators didnt skip a beat, crushing June
Jordan in the first round of the Burlingame

ARAGON
Continued from page 11
We still have to harness all the energy the
team has, Markoulakis said. You want
them to be creative, but if it starts compromising the system, it wont work.
That system includes possessing the ball,
using one-touch passing to get the ball into
space and then using their speed to race past
defenders.
It didnt take long for Aragon (1-1 overall)
to take control of the game, scoring its first
goal just three minutes into the match.
Aragon midfielder Ricardo Diaz triggered the
play when he sent a diagonal pass into space
on the left flank. Pearlman came running on,
touched the ball past and leaped over a challenge, maintained possession, and from
about 12 yards, slotted a shot just inside the
far right post for a 1-0 Aragon lead.
You can play him (Pearlman) anywhere:
midfield, striker, wing, Markoulakis said.
The Dons spent the rest of the half dominating possession and sending dangerous
through balls out to the wings and right up
the middle.
Aragon got a little greedy, however, and
thats when its offense seemed to bog down a
bit. The Dons were at their best knocking the
ball around and then springing a through
ball.
When they tried to send passes through the
middle of the Terra Nova defense, the Tigers
covered them pretty well.
Theyre not a (direct attack) team,
Markoulakis said. They love the possession (game).
Aragon would get nine shots off in the
opening 40 minutes, six of which were on
goal.

The BBC reported late Tuesday that the

International Boxing Federation has
stripped Fury of his title less than two
weeks after winning it, quoting Lindsey
Tucker, championships chairman at the
IBF, as saying Its true hes been stripped
of his IBF belt.
Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov,
but instead Furys gone and signed a
rematch clause with Wladimir Klitschko,
Tucker was quoted as saying.
Furys profile has soared since his shock
win over Klitschko to capture the WBA,
IBF and WBO belts. Controversial remarks
that previously went under the radar are now
being seized on and questioned because of
the responsibility that comes with being
heavyweight champion of the world.

those numbers have dipped to 60.5 in the

At the same time, Del Rio praised Carr for
his sparkling 25-yard touchdown throw to
Crabtree in heavy coverage in the first half
against Kansas City. Carr split two defenders with the pass and Crabtree was drilled as
he fell into the end zone but held onto the
ball.
That was a great throw but that could be
considered a danger throw, Del Rio said.
When youre able to gun a few of those in,
it might give you confidence to do other
things. Theres some good in that.

Baseball roundup
Zobrist agrees to $56 million,
four-year deal with Chicago Cubs
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Free agent infielder
Ben Zobrist and the Cubs agreed Tuesday to a
$56 million, four-year contract, a deal that
caused Chicago to trade
Starlin Castro to the New
York Yankees for pitcher
Adam Warren.
A two-time All-Star,
Zobrist gets a $2 million
signing bonus, payable
by Jan. 31, and salaries of
$10 million next year,
Ben Zobrist $16 million in each of the
following two seasons
and $12 million in 2019.
The 34-year-old switch hitter plays second,
third and the outfield, and he was an important
spark for the Kansas City Royals in their run
to the World Series title.
He is a career .265 hitter with a .355 on-base
percentage and .431 slugging percentage, and
he hit .276 this year with 36 doubles, 13
homers and 56 RBIs for Oakland and Kansas
City, which acquired him on July 28.
Dusty Baker makes race-sensitive

comments; defends Chapman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dusty Baker thinks the
Washington Nationals need more speed, so he
wants more African-American and Latino players on the roster.
He also vigorously defended Cincinnati Reds
closer Aroldis Chapman, who was accused of
choking his girlfriend and shooting a gun during an incident in October. And Baker also had a
different take on domestic violence.
At the winter meetings as a manager for the
first time since he was fired by the Reds after the
2013 season, Baker answered more than 30
questions in a free-wheeling interview session
Tuesday.
Youre always in need of left-handed pitching, left-handed hitting, and in need of speed,
he said. I think thats the number one thing

thats missing, I think, in the game is speed.

how it is.
Police: Domestic case involving

pitcher Chapman is closed
MIAMI A proposed trade sending
Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman to
the Los Angeles Dodgers appears to be on
hold because of a domestic disturbance incident between the pitcher and his girlfriend at
his South Florida home.
A Davie Police Department report released
Tuesday says there was insufficient evidence to charge Chapman in the Oct. 30
incident because of conflicting stories, no
cooperating witnesses and no physical
injuries.

cream and/or applesauce, so people can
choose or have a little of each. Some people
have strong opinions about the applesauce
vs. sour cream situation. But I like to mix
things up every once in a while, and this
year that is manifesting itself in the form of
a dab of chipotle sour cream atop our latkes.
Purists might gasp and turn away... Thus
leaving more chipotle sour cream for the
rest of us.
By the way, you dont have to be Jewish
or actually celebrate Hanukkah to love
latkes. These crispy little potato pancakes
make a wonderful appetizer or a great side

dish all year long.
I like to cook the pancakes in a combination of olive oil (pure, not pricier extra-virgin), and butter, which provides such great
flavor. But you can use just olive oil if you
prefer. Keep an eye on the heat level as you
cook the latkes; you want it high enough to
cook up crisp pancakes, but not so high that
is smokes and turns brown. You also can use
vegetable or canola oil, which work just
fine.

Food industry pushing halt

WASHINGTON Food companies are
mounting an aggressive year-end push to
head off mandatory labeling of genetically

The food industry wants the labeling to be
voluntary, and it hopes to get a provision in
a massive spending bill that Republicans
and Democrats want to wrap up this week. If
that becomes law, states could not require

Lawmakers: Deal to create

megabrewer could cause hangover
WASHINGTON Castle Danger Brewery
in Two Harbors, Minnesota, has been brewing what it calls dangerously good ales on
the north shore of Lake Superior since
2011. The company outgrew its original
home in tiny Castle Danger and now distributes beer to bars and restaurants throughout
potato bowl. Youll feel a firm layer of potato starch at the bottom. Carefully pour off
the liquid from the top, then scrape up the
starch from the bottom of the bowl and mix
it into the egg and potato mixture. This natural starch helps bind together the potatoes.
If there is only 1 to 2 tablespoons of starch,
youll also want to blend in the optional
matzo meal or flour. Generously season with
salt and pepper.
In a large skillet (or use 2 large skillets to
speed up the process), heat a couple of tablespoons of the olive oil and a teaspoon or so
of butter until the butter has melted and the
fat is hot. Swirl the pan, and then add the
potato mixture by the spoonful (large or
small,

Gently press

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., hails the
brewery as an example of the growing craftbeer industry in her state and says she fears
that a deal to merge the worlds biggest beer
companies into a megabrewer could make it
harder for Castle Danger and other small
brewers to sell their brands.
Klobuchar and other lawmakers from both

Transfer the latkes to paper towels to

warm, then repeat the process with the
remaining latkes, adding oil and butter as
needed. Between batches, you also may
want to wipe out the pan to remove any bits
of latke or if the oil is getting dark.
The potatoes will continue to release liquid as they sit. As you get to the bottom of
the bowl, just give the potato mixture a
quick squeeze before putting it in the hot
pan to avoid splattering.
While the latkes are cooking, in a small

some of our new teachers.
She said she would like the district to look
into ideas such as building affordable housing
projects, which could serve not only school
employees but other local public service
workers such as police and firefighters.
I think the problem-solving will be a collaborative team effort with as many factions
of the community to come up with some creative solutions, she said.
She said she also favored requiring developers building new housing projects in the district to set aside a portion of each project at an
affordable rate for teachers, and other workers
in the public sector.
Assistant Superintendent Molly Barton
said officials had previously considered building affordable housing for teachers in 2008
on the campus of College Park Elementary
School, but elected to stop exploring the
issue due in part to the lack of enthusiasm
from district teachers for the project.

Ultimately though, Barton said it is difficult for many school districts in San Mateo
County to offer compensation to teachers
which is commensurate with the escalating
cost of living.
None of us are going to get the money we
need from the state to allow us to match
salaries so employees can afford this sort of
outrageous housing crisis, she said.
District teachers received a 5 percent raise
in October 2014, which was tacked on to a 2
percent hike already in place under a threeyear agreement.
Teachers earned an average of $67,689 in
the 2013-14 school year, according to the
most recent data available from the California
Department of Education.
Lewis would not comment on the state of
ongoing negotiations, but documents provided by the teachers show they have requested a raise to the tune of 7.5 percent while officials have countered with a proposal of a 3.5
percent pay hike.
Mary Lynagh, president of the San Mateo
Elementary Teachers Association, said
morale among the teaching ranks has plummeted as housing prices have skyrocketed,
and many teachers are forced to consider leav-
ing the district to work in an area where they

can afford to live.
Teachers are feeling strangled, because
they do not have the money to live in the district, said Lynagh.
Lynagh, a fifth-grade teacher at Audubon
Elementary School in Foster City who has
worked in the district for a decade, said she
has never seen such frustration among local
educators.
I dont see the district trusting the teachers
or deciding to value them in a way that matters, she said.
Lynagh said she too has considered trying
to find another job in a different district that
pays its teachers more.
I feel that teachers are being so disrespected and undervalued in a community that
should know better, she said.
The plight of district teachers has worsened, said Lynagh, as the demands of the job
have ramped up recently due to shortage of
substitute teachers spreading throughout the
Bay Area.
She said teachers are facing more pressure
to take less time off work, and pursue professional development opportunities in their
own time, because there is so little available
relief among the part-time teaching ranks.

They keep putting more and more things
on our plate, she said. And we are getting
poorer by the day.
In an attempt to address the financial burden some teachers face, Lewis said a network
has developed among the district staff which
aims to circulate information regarding local
affordable housing options.
Such efforts are necessary, said Barton, as
no simple resolution exists to resolve the
local housing crunch.
There is no magic answer, she said.
While officials consider larger solutions to
regional issues, Lynagh said the district could
face an exodus of talented educators.
I have never heard so many teachers thinking of applying to other, more competitive
districts, she said.
But she indicated there may be some silver
lining on the horizon, as officials have
expressed a willingness to offer a pay hike,
which could ultimately lead to a deal being
struck.
Our members are not happy with what they
are offering, Lynagh said. We are still not
anywhere near an agreement yet, but we are
getting closer.
resilience and passion to serve the people of

South San Francisco is something that will
always be remembered, said Mullin. Rick
was the epitome of courage as he battled cancer while maintaining a high level of service
to the school district and his constituents.
He will be forever be missed.
Mullin said he will request the state
Assembly adjourn one of their upcoming
sessions in January in honor of Rick
Ochsenhirt.
Professionally, Rick Ochsenhirt worked as
a Realtor, selling primarily residential properties along the Peninsula and throughout the
greater Bay Area, said Karen Ochsenhirt.
It was through his interaction with the
community during the nearly 20 years he
worked in real estate that he was first inspired
to begin serving the public, said Karen
Ochsenhirt.
A political junkie, Karen
Ochsenhirt said her husband
could be found during the time
when he was not filling his
role as a city commissioner or
school board member soaking
up news and current events for
hours.
He was a good listener and
a good leader, said Karen
Ochsenhirt. He was pretty
happy. Rick Ochsenhirt was
the leading vote getter among
the seven candidates running for three open

seats on the school board, during the 2014
fall elections. He served on the Planning
Commission for 11 years, prior to being
elected to the school board and was a South
San Francisco Parks and Recreation
Commissioner from 1996 until 2000.
Friends of Rick Ochsenhirt frequently
remember his smile and sense of humor, as he
was quick to attempt to defuse potentially
contentious discussions in a public forum by
lightening the mood with a joke, said Patrick
Lucy, who served alongside him on the
school board.
Lucy also noted how vigorously Rick
Ochsenhirt would advocate for what he felt
was the best interest of South San Francisco
residents or students.
He had a lot of passion and believed very
strongly to do whatever he could to benefit
the community in any shape, form or way,
said Lucy. He was a person who believed in
what he was doing.
Even as Rick Ochsenhirts cancer got progressively worse, Lucy said he was
impressed by his colleagues courage to
push on and fight for what he believed in.
He put his illness in the back seat, to
help the people of South San Francisco,
Lucy said.
In his free time, Rick Ochsenhirt enjoyed
rooting for the San Francisco Giants, or
playing bocce ball with his friends at
Orange Park, said Karen Ochsenhirt. Judy

Bush, president of the South San Francisco
school board, shared her appreciation for
Rick Ochsenhirt in a prepared statement.
Rick was a kind, compassionate member
of the Board of Trustees. He was dedicated to
serving our district and he advocated for the
students and employees of the district, she
said. We have lost a wonderful person who
lived to serve his community.
District Superintendent Shawnterra Moore
expressed a similar sentiment for a person
she called kind and passionate.
We are all deeply saddened. Its a big,
huge loss for our district and our overall
community because he was so active, she
said. We are all going to miss him very
much.
There are now two vacancies to fill on the
school board with Maurice Goodmans
recent election to the San Mateo County
Community College Board of Trustees.
Rick Ochsenhirt will be difficult to replace
on the school board, said Lucy, due to the
high standard he set.
Whoever will be filling his shoes has a
really big pair of shoes to fill, said Lucy.
Friends and family will gather to honor
Rick Ochsenhirts life Friday, Dec. 11, at
noon in All Souls Church, 315 Walnut Ave.,
South San Francisco. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the church in his
name.

RINK
recommended the council deny SPIs formal application, which prompted city
staff to conduct legal research as well as
compile a nearly 400-page report before
recommending the rink be abandoned.
Regardless of staffs suggestion, the
commission voted 5-0 to uphold the
current master plan and recommend the
council deny SPIs request.
To turn this one of a kind asset into
just another shopping center would be
an injustice to the citizens of San
Mateo, Commissioner John Ebneter
said.
Charlie Dreschler, chair of the commission, noted he hoped SPI would
change its ways.
I look forward to the property owner
taking the high road, Dreschler said. I
think it would be foolish to continue
down this path.
Still, SPI may advance to a City
Council hearing for a final decision on
whether the rink should go in exchange
for the $3 million recreation fee. As an
SPI representative noted it wouldnt
reopen the facility even without city
approval, dozens of residents questioned whether the developer was acting
in good faith.
The controversial proposal drew large
crowds to City Hall for the second time
in as many years to show their support
for the now-closed rink with colorful
signs, children dressed in hockey gear
and frustrated parents vowing to boycott Bridgepointe stores.
The group Save the Bridgepointe Ice
Rink and other supporters emphasized
SPI acted in bad faith by closing the
rink and urged city officials to support
the publics wishes.
Ethically, you should be acting in
the best interests of the community and
its wellbeing. Losing a unique recreational facility, replaced by another
retail outlet, is not in the best interest of
SAMTRANS
Administrations guidelines call for
buses to be changed out every 12
years prompting the local agency to
seek support for its efforts, SamTrans
spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew
said in an email.
Its important for SamTrans to
change its equipment because the
vehicles are at the end of their useful
life and we want to ensure that we
have safe, reliable vehicles out on
the
road
for
the
public,
Bartholomew said.
SamTrans has been considering
moving toward purchasing electric
buses, but the newer technology has
the city, said Jeremy Verba who represented the Save the Rink group.
Many argued the $3 million offered to
the city paled in comparison to what SPI
stood to gain from increased tax revenue
and would never replace the rink that
actually
attracted shoppers
to
Bridgepointe.
Some suggested the developer be
responsible for the full cost of replacing
the rink and many questioned whether
the citys economic analysis was accurate. Commissioner Eric Rodriguez
questioned the economic analysis saying it made him feel uneasy and suggested there was room for error with the
city potentially being able to charge
millions more.
The citys hired consultants and staff
said the $3 million was consistent with
legal precedent and a lengthy economic
analysis of the difference in cost to
lease retail versus recreational space.
Bridgepointe representatives have
argued allowing them to demolish the
rink in place of more retail at one
time a Nordstrom Rack was considered
would provide increased tax revenue
to the city and allow SPI to stay competitive.
We believe that the change and the
fee SPI plans to pay the city for recreational uses are in the best interests of
the center and the city, said Gary
Miranda, a principal at SPI.
If the city fails to grant their request,
Miranda said it would not bring an ice
rink any closer to reopening. In the
meantime, the building would continue
to be vacant. It simply does not make
sense to maintain recreational uses at
[San Mateos] most productive retail
center.
He later went on to say that while SPI
has no interest in continuing the rink,
should its proposal be denied, it would
consider alternate recreational uses that
must first be approved by the commission.
Mirandas claim upset many who felt
SPI was extorting the city and acting
in bad faith.
This is a sign of bad corporate

ethics, said Todd Friedman. Thats a
bully marking his territory. They are
not good neighbors.
Contending the community would
lose a heavily-used recreational facility,
rink supporters begged city officials to
adhere to the master plan as well as the
interests of the public.
When [SPI] signed the agreement
they knew what they were getting into,
said San Mateo resident Jeff Gilbert.
Its time for our elected representatives
to do the right thing and stand for the
thoughts and rights and citizens of San
Mateo.
The rink has been closed since 2013
and supporters argued a shuttered empty
building was not what previous councils
had in mind when they approved the
sites master plan allowing for the redevelopment of Fashion Island into
Bridgepointe.
Although the current City Council has
yet to formally weigh in on the controversial ice rink thats spawned a petition garnering more than 4,500 signatures, many suggested the communitys
interests were being overlooked.
Despite the commission putting a
damper on SPIs plans for the second
time after condemning the developer
during a May 2014 study session, city
officials have argued they have no legal
grounds to require the rink be reopened
but that it only prevents Bridgepointe
from demolishing it without providing
a similar recreational amenity or getting approval from the council.
The sad reality is its not that simple.
We cant just chose the ice rink and
voila the ice rink reopens, Rodriquez
said, noting SPI must also be missing
out by having an empty building.
It is my sincere hope that in rejecting this offer, that [were] signaling to
the applicant that were not going to
give in so easily. And now is the time to
get back to the table and really work at
solutions and try to find a win-win solution that takes into account the rink,
and the communitys interest.
its drawbacks such as issues with

whether the batteries could last an
entire route, as well as significant
startup costs for charging stations.
It needs to replace a portion of its
current fleet and opting for new
diesel-powered buses doesnt rule out
the possibility it may go electric in
the future.
We still havent made a determination on electric buses. Were still discussing the idea, but it is a different
type of technology thats more
expensive and not readily available,
Bartholomew said.
The board discussed EVs in August
and noted it would continue to keep
tabs on the industry thats anticipated to become more affordable while
making
technological
strides.
Currently, SamTrans spends about $2
million a year on diesel fuel for its
buses. A typical clean-diesel bus gets

about 4.25 miles per gallon while a
hybrid diesel-electric gets about 5 to
6.5 miles per gallon. Manufacturers
estimate an all-electric bus could get
between 10 to 20 miles per gallon
a huge savings that over time could
account for the initial investment in
new equipment, officials said previously.
But startup costs such as charging
stations as well as route limitations
due to existing battery power have
officials questioning whether the current technology is a feasible alternative for SamTrans and its various
routes.
SamTrans is committed to finding
sustainable transit solutions and
invested in replacing some of its outdated fleet with 25 diesel-electric
hybrid buses starting in 2013. That
purchase was part of a $32.2
million contract to buy 62
buses that were expected to
save $3 million in fuel costs
over 12 years, according to
SamTrans.
In the interim, SamTrans
seeks to continue to upgrade
its existing diesel fleet that
provides nearly 1 million
bus rides each month.
Of the $7. 2 million the
board committed to matching, a portion will come
from state Proposition 1
funds and bridge toll revenue, as well as local sales
taxes, according to the
report.
It will likely take several
months before SamTrans
hears whether it receives a
piece of the MTCs estimated $409 million federallyfunded grant pool. If successful, the new buses may
come into service sometime
in 2017, according to
Bartholomew.
