Field lamp project spotlights community concern

Officials to approve policy regulating use of proposed athletic field lights
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo Union High School

District officials claim they are
committed to addressing the concerns of residents who say their
quality of life will be harmed by a
proposal to install lights at district athletic fields.

The district Board of Trustees is

set to approve policies regulating
use of the field lights, and stadium
public address systems, during a
meeting Thursday, Jan. 14.
The regulations are designed to
quell fears raised by those living
near district campuses who say the
new lamps will bring a flood of
light, noise and traffic into their

neighborhood during night sporting events, particularly football

games.
But Phil Banda, who lives in
neighborhood near Hillsdale High
School, said he feels district officials are not being genuine in
their stated commitment to working with the community.
They are not going to change

what they want to do, they are

going to put in these lights as
they see fit, said Banda.
District officials have spent
months collecting feedback
regarding the project through
community meetings held with
residents living near the school
sites.
Despite the extensive outreach

effort, Banda said he believes the

opposition will ultimately be disregarded.
The people who really matter,
the local residents, they are being
pushed aside and the neighbors
feel this is just awful, he said.
Banda said the disdain for the

Last skate at the holiday rink

Seasonal amenity closes at San Mateos Central Park
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the holiday season has officially come to an end, so too did

San Mateos first year of hosting a
winter ice rink at its historic
Central Park.
The temporary 9, 000-squarefoot holiday rink was considered a
momentous
success
having
attracted thousands of visitors to
the 16-acre park near downtown.
Set up in mid-November by the
private On Ice Rinks operator, the
San Mateo locale was one of the
Bay Areas largest outdoor rinks

before it officially closed Sunday.

Hordes of skaters from seasoned
pros to first timers took to the
sheet of ice surrounded by the
grandstands of the Fitzgerald Ball
Field off El Camino Real and Fifth
Avenue.
Parks and Recreation Director
Sheila Canzian said the holiday
rink was extremely popular and
even the operator who also runs
facilities in Napa and Marin
noted he experienced his largest
crowds ever as more than 1,000
skaters came to San Mateo each
day during the weekend following
Thanksgiving.

It was a great addition and I

think if the vendor is looking to
come back this next season, we
would really welcome him to
return, Canzian said, adding she
too witnessed its popularity.
Unless it was a really cold ugly
night out, there were always people up there. I just thought man,
this is such a great use for people
being in a park that otherwise we
would never have in the middle of
December.
Mayor Joe Goethals said he was
thrilled by the success of the sea-

Once considered a groundbreaker

in efforts to protect local residents
from unwanted exposure to secondhand smoke, Belmont officials
are now catching up to new technologies by moving to restrict the
use of electronic cigarettes in public.
The Belmont City Council is
returning for its first meeting of
2016 to discuss a range of policies
from amending its smoking ordinance to considering changes to
what it charges residents for a vari-

ety of permits.
In 2007, Belmont became one of
the first cities in San Mateo
County to enact stricter smoking
bans a move that others such
has Foster City, San Mateo, Half
Moon Bay, Burlingame, Daly
City, South San Francisco and the
county have since followed or are
in the process of implementing.
Already prohibiting traditional
cigarettes from being smoked in
most public spaces as well as
multi-family dwellings, the city
now seeks to include the increas-

Thief stuffs snake in
his pants at Oregon pet store
PORTLAND, Ore. A snake thief
smuggled a 2-foot-long python from a
Portland pet store by stuffing it down
his pants.
Sgt. Greg Stewart said no arrests have
been made in Fridays theft. But
Christin Bjugan, an owner of A to Z pet
store, said video surveillance has helped
viewers and police detectives identify a
suspect, and she expects to have the
snake returned soon.
We know who did it, she said
Monday. We know where he lives, we
know where he works, we know all
about him and his girlfriend. Were just
waiting to get our snake back.
The video shows the suspect with a
blue-haired woman who appeared to be
in on the theft. He handed her some keys
before taking the snake from a tank and
shuffling out of the store.
Bjugan says it was pretty gutsy for
the man to put the python down his
pants, and potentially a bad move
because it was close to feeding day.
On the other hand, she added, the
snake does like warm, dark places.
The snake is a black pastel ball
python and sells for $200.
We have a cheap price, usually they
go for about $400, Bjugan said.
Stewart said the department has investigated thefts at pet stores, but this is
the first time it has involved someone

PORTLAND, Ore. A federal judge

has dismissed a nude protesters claim
that police violated his rights by arresting him while he played violin starknaked outside the federal courthouse in
Portland.
Matthew T. Mglej of Hillsboro,
Oregon, sued the Portland police and the
county last January, seeking $1.1 million in damages. The 26-year-old was
arrested for indecent exposure in May
2014.
According to The Oregonian, the
judge said Mglejs nudity didnt advance
a specific message, so it wasnt protected by either the First Amendment or the
state constitution.
The judge allowed one allegation of
excessive force against Multnomah
County to proceed to trial. Mglej
claimed jail deputies cut his wrists by
jerking on his handcuffs.
County attorneys argued Mglej
refused to follow directions once in jail
and he didnt complain of injuries at the
time.

Man charged
in Baby Does death
pleads not guilty to murder
BOSTON A man charged with
killing a 2-year-old girl who was
dubbed Baby Doe after her body washed
up on a Boston Harbor island pleaded
not guilty Monday to first-degree murder.
Michael McCarthy was held without
bail at his arraignment in Suffolk
Superior Court in the death of his girlfriends daughter, Bella Bond.
The girl was known for months as
Baby Doe after her body was found in a
trash bag by a dog walker in June and
detectives searched for her identity.
Her mother, Rachelle Bond, is accused
of helping McCarthy conceal Bellas
body. She has pleaded not guilty to
being an accessory after the fact to murder and collecting welfare benefits after
the childs death.
Bonds lawyer says that she denies
helping McCarthy in any way and that
he had psychological control over her.
McCarthys lawyer laid blame for the
girls death on the mother.
The Commonwealths case against
Mr. McCarthy is incredibly weak,
Jonathan Shapiro said Monday.
Theres no forensic evidence and no
DNA evidence.
Rachelle Bonds statement to police
that she saw McCarthy hitting the toddler in the abdomen is self-serving,
Shapiro said.

Hearing continued for alleged embezzler

Former Woodlake manager accused of stealing $2.8 million
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A preliminary hearing on the criminal

case concerning a former San Mateo homeowner association manager whos accused
of embezzling $2.8 million has been continued to next month.
Susan Marie Lambert, a former manager
of the Woodlake Homeowners Association,
and Michael Anthony Medeiros, the owner
of a painting company who allegedly
assisted in generating 150 false invoices
between February 2007 and September
2013, were scheduled for a preliminary
hearing Monday.
However, Medeiros attorney requested
the matter be continued to Feb. 19 as he
had a concurrent case ongoing in Alameda
County, according to San Mateo County
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Lambert, a 64-yearold Fremont resident,

remains in custody on
$1 million bail, and
Medeiros, a 58-year-old
Fremont resident, is currently out on $1 million
bail bond, according to
Wagstaffes office.
Lambert was responSusan Lambert
sible for overseeing the
990-unit condominium community near
Peninsula Avenue and Delaware Street. The
30-acre site boasts a lake, five swimming
pools, private courtyards, clubhouse, spa,
18-hole putting green, four tennis courts,
two saunas, a gym and billiard room.
Lambert had worked for the association,
which has nearly a $5 million annual budget, for more than a decade. Shes been

charged with issuing false invoices for

construction work that was never completed, then conspiring with Medeiros who
deposited the checks and shared the money
with Lambert.
Members of the Woodlake Homeowners
Association Board of Directors caught
wind of the theft and reported it to San
Mateo police. After a two-year investigation, Lambert was arrested in September
and Medeiros caught shortly after.
Mondays hearing was the third time a preliminary hearing was scheduled since the
defendants were arraigned in September,
according to Wagstaffes office.
Faced with multiple enhancements,
including aggravated white-collar crime,
the duo could face nearly six years in
prison if convicted, according to prosecutors.

Assembly names Lakewood Democrat as new speaker

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A former nonprofit

director, environmentalist and recipient of
national humanities fellowship will
become Californias next Assembly speaker
after the state Legislature officially selected
him Monday.
Assemblyman Anthony Rendon, DLakewood, is best known in Sacramento for
his leadership in negotiating the $7.5 billion water bond that voters approved in
2014. Before his political career, Rendon
headed a Southern California child development organization, led the California
League of Conservation Voters and served as
an adjunct professor at his alma mater,
California State University, Fullerton.
When he takes over in March, Rendon,
47, will be the first speaker since voters

extended term limits,

which could keep him in
office
until
2024.
Rendon said Monday that
hes committed to creating a more collaborative
working environment,
including working with
Republicans.
The role of the speakAnthony
er
in an era when memRendon
bers can serve up to 12
years is to maximize that potential by helping members develop greater expertise, pursue longer-term policy strategies, and perform more vital oversight, Rendon said in
a speech on the floor.
In a break with tradition, Assembly
Minority Leader Chad Mayes, R-Yucca
Valley, seconded Rendons nomination.

from among its ranks, the GOP has no real

role in the selection.
Mayes acknowledged his move is contrary to a practice that goes back decades and
Im sure Ill take some heat for it.
Mayes also took over his post this month
and said he did not want to start a new chapter with an empty partisan exercise.
Rendon has prioritized restoring funding
for early childhood education programs that
were cut during the recession, though Gov.
Jerry Brown notably left that out of his
budget proposal last week.

Powerball prize invites

myths, misconceptions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa With up

to $1. 4 billion at stake in
Wednesdays Powerball, questions
about the drawing seem to be as
abundant as the convenience-store
kiosks offering tickets for the
record-breaking jackpot.
The inquiries include many
myths and misconceptions about
the winners, the prize money and
the system that decides them. A
look at some of the most common
questions:

WHY ARE ALL

THE JACKPOT WINNERS
FROM CERTAIN STATES?
Officials with the Multi-State
Lottery Association, a group of
state lotteries that oversee
Powerball, said this is one of the
most frequent complaints.
Its human nature to think the
other guy is winning, said Sally
Lunsford, public affairs director
for the Kansas Lottery.
Its also wrong, though there are
anomalies.
For example, in the past two
years, Missouri and Tennessee
have each been home to three
Powerball jackpot winners, while
New York, the nations fourth
most populous state, has only had
one winner during that span.
Lottery officials, backed by
mathematicians, said probabilities equal out over time, but in
shorter periods, oddities can

occur, in the same way someone

could flip a coin and get heads five
times in a row.

THE POWERBALL JACKPOT

OVERSTATES THE WINNINGS
Theres more of a rationale
behind this claim. The jackpot is
the amount paid out over 30 years
and not the amount a winner could
receive immediately. So while the
current jackpot is listed at $1.4
billion, a sole winner would only
get that much if the person
received 29 annual payments.
Winners can also choose the cash
prize, which is the total amount
currently up for grabs, but that is
only $868 million.
Gary Grief, executive director of
the Texas Lottery, responded that
Powerball prominently displays
both the annuity and cash prize
figures. The bigger number gets
more attention, and Grief said lotteries have taken that approach for
decades.
When the prize gets so big, the
critics come out as well, he said.

WINNERS WHO
TAKE AN ANNUITY
FACE BIG TAX DANGERS
One of the most persistent misconceptions, officials said, is that
winners risk tax trouble if they
opt for an annuity but die before
all 29 payments are made.
Terry Rich, chief executive of
the Iowa Lottery, said hes heard
this one frequently and repeatedly

REUTERS

A person fills out numbers on a Powerball ticket at Talberts Ice & Beverage Service in Bethesda, Md.
explains that if someone dies, that
persons estate will treat the annuity like any other asset. A winners heirs may choose to cash in
an annuity and then pay taxes on
the money, but thats a choice
they must make.
Investment planners note, however, that when winners choose
how to receive their money, they
should consider their age and
whether they mind if some of the
cash remains out of their reach and
goes to their heirs instead.

THE ODDS OF
WINNING THE JACKPOT ARE
WORSE THAN IN THE PAST
This is true, as the Multi-State

Lottery Commission last fall

added more numbers to choose
from.
The new system changed the
odds from 1 in 175 million to 1 in
292.2 million. But far from hiding
the change, the organization
trumpeted it as part of an effort to
build larger jackpots while also
giving away more prizes of $2
million or less. Without the
change, its unlikely a jackpot
would ever come close to the current $1.4 billion, or $868 million
cash prize.

THE SMALLER THE JACKPOT,

THE BETTER THE ODDS
This is false.

Your odds for each ticket are 1 in

292.2 million regardless of the
jackpot size or how many other
people play.
If you buy more tickets, your
odds increase, but theyre still
woefully small.
However, its true that as jackpots increase, more people typically play the game.
And the more tickets that are
purchased, the greater the chance
that there will be multiple winners.
But this all largely misses the
more important fact: The chances
of winning are incredibly remote,
so it makes little difference
whether youd have to share the
money.

Suspects

Sheriffs Office seeks

pair in December burglaries
San Mateo County sheriffs deputies are
seeking the publics assistance in identifying a pair of suspects who made two
consecutive residential burglary attempts
late last month.
The same two men are believed to be
responsible for incidents in the unincorporated community of Emerald Lake Hills
the night of Dec. 30 and early the next
morning in Millbrae, according to sheriffs deputies.
The first occurred that day at 9:40 p. m. ,
when the duo broke a window at an
Emerald Lake Hills home, deputies said.
The sound alerted the homeowners,
deputies said. The suspects then fled, possibly because they realized the home was
occupied.
Just a few hours later at 12:35 a. m. on
Dec. 31, a similar incident occurred at a
home in the 200 block of Magnolia in
Millbrae, according to sheriffs deputies.
Two men in their late 20s with a similar
description to those in the first incident
entered the home, despite it being occupied by a 93-year-old man. The suspects
ignored the man and ransacked the home,
sheriffs officials said. The suspects left

Driver, passenger killed

in Porsche crash into tree
Two men were killed Sunday night when
a 2016 Porsche crashed into a tree in a
rural area of San Mateo County.
Hau Nguyen, 28, of San Jose, was pronounced dead at the crash scene shortly
after he hit a tree on Skyline Boulevard,
also known as state Highway 35, near
Harkins Road at about 9:40 p. m. , CHP
officials said.
His passenger, identified as 25-year-old
Andre Brutus, suffered major injuries in
the crash and was flown to Stanford
Hospital for treatment. He died there
Monday, according to the Santa Clara
medical examiners office.
Brutus was a software engineer at the
Redwood City-based online payment software company WePay and lived in Palo
Alto, according to social media postings.
CHP investigators have not determined
why Nguyen lost control of the Porsche
as he was driving north on Skyline, but
he crossed into the southbound lane, left
the road and smashed the drivers side
door into a tree.
The car hit the tree so hard it rotated
around it, according to the CHP.
Investigators are still looking into
whether alcohol or drugs may have been a
factor in the crash. Any witnesses to the
crash have been asked to call Officer
Justin Reed at (650) 369-6261.

Record-breaking application
numbers for UC schools
For the 12th year in a row, the
University of California had recordbreaking numbers of applicants for undergraduate programs, according to UC officials.
UC officials said all nine of the UC campuses saw gains in total applications for
fall 2016, as more than 206, 000 students
applied to attend as undergraduates.
According to UC officials, this was the
first time the total number of applicants,
which includes transfer students, topped
200, 000.
The increase in applications from
Californians will help us reach our goal of
adding 5, 000 more undergraduate resi-

dents this year and 10, 000 over three

years, UC president Jan Napolitano said
in a statement.
Napolitano said, In particular, our
efforts to boost the number of applicants
transferring from Californias community
colleges are paying off.
According to UC officials, transfer
applications rose 11. 8 percent after the
university announced a one-time extension of the application deadline from
Nov. 30 to Jan 4 in an effort to boost
enrollment of California students.
UC Merced had the largest increase of
applications with 13. 5 percent more
applications than in 2015. In total, an
overall jump of 6. 4 percent more students
applied for admissions across all the UC
campuses, university officials said.

Barack Obamas State of the Union

address seeks to frame 2016 race
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obamas final State of the Union
address will unmistakably attempt to
frame the choice facing Americans as
they select his successor, doling out an
optimistic vision of the countrys
future in contrast with what he sees as
the pessimism thats pervasive in the
Republican primary.
Obama wont directly appeal for
Americans to keep the Democratic
Party in the White House for a third
straight term. And he wont endorse a

specific candidate in the 2016 race.

But he will outline domestic and
international priorities that build on
steps hes taken during his two terms
in office, a vision certain to be more in
line with Hillary Clinton and other
Democrats than the GOP presidential
candidates.
He feels very optimistic about this
future, White House chief of staff
Denis McDonough said. That, by the
way, is something thats a little different than some of the doom and gloom
that we hear from the Republican candidates out there every day.
Tuesdays prime-time address marks
a transition for Obama his last

high-profile opportunity to speak to

the public before voting begins on
Feb. 1. While Obama has so far succeeded in staving off lame duck status
largely through a series of aggressive executive actions the nations
attention has been drawn inevitably to
the presidential contest. Still,
Obamas reliance on executive powers
means many of his actions could be
erased by a Republican president. Hes
vowed to campaign aggressively for
the Democratic nominee, and his
administration is seen as favoring
Clinton, though the president wont
formally back a candidate during his
partys primary.

High court seems ready to scrap mandatory public union fees

By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Supreme

Court appears ready to deliver a major
setback to American unions as it considers scrapping a four-decade precedent that lets public-sector labor
organizations collect fees from workers who decline to join.
During more than an hour of oral
arguments Monday, the high courts
conservative justices seemed likely to

side with a group of California teachers who say those mandatory fees violate the free-speech rights of workers
who disagree with a unions positions.
Labor officials fear unions very
existence could be threatened if workers are allowed to get all the benefits of
representation without at least paying
fees to cover the costs of collective
bargaining. The case affects more than
5 million workers in 23 states and
Washington, D.C.
But Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected arguments by lawyers for the state

of California and the California

Teachers Association that the current
fee system is needed to prevent nonmembers from becoming free riders
workers who reap the rewards of
union bargaining and grievance procedures without paying for it.
The union basically is making
these teachers compelled riders for
issues on which they strongly disagree, Kennedy said, noting the
political nature of bargaining issues
like teacher salaries, merit promotions
and class size.

WATERLOO, Iowa Hillary Clinton has spent much of

her 2016 presidential campaign looking past Democratic
rival Bernie Sanders, focusing instead on
Republicans and the November general
election. No longer.
Three weeks before the leadoff Iowa
caucuses and with polls suggesting a
tightening race, she now is confronting
the Vermont senator more directly,
attempting to undermine his liberal credentials on gun control, taxes, health
Hillary Clinton care and even the Wall Street regulations
that have been the core of his insurgent
campaign.
Its time for us to have the kind of
spirited debate that you deserve us to
have, Clinton told voters Monday. We
do have differences.
After months with a comfortable edge
in most Iowa polls, the former secretary
of state finds herself battling an underdog rival in a state that has a history of
Bernie Sanders rewarding anti-establishment campaigns
a situation that brings back echoes of
her 2008 loss to Barack Obama.
At a forum aimed at young and minority voters on
Monday night, the candidates found themselves defending
their positions on immigration, criminal justice, gun control and abortion along with tackling questions about

Aid convoys reach

Syria communities
besieged for months
By Albert Aji
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria Aid convoys delivered long-awaited food, medicine and other
supplies to three besieged communities
Monday, part of a U.N.-supported operation
to help tens of thousands of civilians cut off
for months by the war in Syria.
Reports of starvation and images of emaciated children have raised global concerns
and underscored the urgency for new peace
talks that the U.N. is hoping to host in
Geneva on Jan. 25.
The U.N. Security Council took up the
issue Monday. The U.N. says 4.5 million
Syrians are living in besieged or hard-toreach areas and desperately need humanitarian aid, with civilians prevented from leaving and aid workers blocked from bringing
in food, medicine, fuel and other supplies.

her spokesman Steffen Seibert emphasized

It will take several days to distribute the

aid in the town of Madaya, near Damascus,
and the Shiite villages of Foua and Kfarya in
northern Syria, and the supplies are probably enough to last for a month, aid agencies
said.
Its really heartbreaking to see the situation of the people, said Red Cross
spokesman Pawel Krzysiek, who oversaw
the distribution in Madaya. A while ago,
I was just approached by a little girl and
her first question was, Did you bring
food?
Added Sajjad Malik, a representative of
the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees
who took part in the operation: Its cold
and raining, but there is excitement because
we are here with some food and blankets.
The operation marked a small, positive
development in a bitter conflict now in its
fifth year that has killed a quarter of a milintolerable crimes.
But after Cologne police said a group of
Pakistanis and a Syrian were attacked in the
city on Sunday, Seibert said Germans must
not blame all the nearly 1. 1 million
migrants who entered the country last year,
and said the government is also focused on
their welfare.
Were doing all of these things to protect
the population in Germany, he said. We
are also doing this for the great majority of
innocent refugees who have sought refuge
from bombs and war in our country, and who
should get this protection and who are prepared to adapt to the rules and values in our
country.

Letters to the editor

Seizing the day
Editor,
As I was preparing for my annual
kickoff meeting with my staff of 25
folks, I was searching for a keynote
message. Over the break, a 36-yearold mother of three children under
the age of 6 who has worked for me
for five years, died from sepsis
(blood poisoning, organ shutdown,
coma for a month, passed on Dec.
28).
It has hit me hard, harder than any
death I have experienced except perhaps for my fathers in 2001. As
staff was returning from our holiday
break, I did not want a mass email
going out announcing the tragedy
and I spoke with everyone one on
one to tell them what limited details
we knew, a couple of anecdotes
about how wonderful she was and
encouraged each individual to go
forth and carpe diem. That had me
delaying my kickoff, and gave me
time to prepare.

Overdevelopment in San Carlos

in San Carlos will be gone. Instead,

like downtown Redwood City, the
main street of San Carlos will look
like a canyon of multi-story buildings looming overhead. It appears
the city government prefers multiuse, stack-and-pack buildings. The
ease of parking downtown will be a
thing of the past. Congestion will
be the new way of life for the City
of Good Living, as San Carlos calls
itself.
Beyond the downtown and residential areas of San Carlos, many single-story ranch-style homes are also
being replaced by two-story minimansions. Yes, old San Carlos will
soon be lost to the greed of developers, contractors and Realtors. And
all of this will happen with the permission of the San Carlos city government.

Millbrae BART
needs an upgrade
Editor,
Fifty million visitors go through
SFO every year.BART needs worldclass transportation service between
SFO and Millbrae stations. BARTs
current level of service is terrible. If
BART wants to increase ridership,
reduce traffic and improve the local
economy, they should increase their
services and support Millbraes
efforts in making their station area a
vital economic center that extends
SFOs footprint. Major corporations, including Google, Apple,
Genentech and Visa have made
Millbrae the most significant shuttle location in the region. Caltrain
is electrifying their service and
Millbrae will be a high-speed rail
stop.Millbrae cannot be a traditional transit-oriented development
(TOD). The fact that Millbraes
transportation links SFO to San
Francisco, Silicon Valley and the
entire Bay Area should be reason
enough for this station to have a
large grade-A hotel, special retail,
office space and more. Give those 50
million travelers a place to go, stay,
move around and spend money.

E-cigarette bans and other

objectionable activities
Editor,
I recently learned both the Palo
Alto and Belmont city councils are
considering banning or restricting
the use of e-cigarettes in public
places, which is of course, music to
my ears.San Mateo was cited as one
of those progressive city councils
that has already done this action
back in November.
But these types of ordinances,
while well-intended and great public
relations, are just window dressing
and not much different than the one I
objected to before, regarding making it illegal and subject-to-fine for
people to remove recyclables from
our garbage cans. My objection,
published in this newspaper, was
answered by a city official lecturing
why it was important to prevent this
type of activity. He made a very
good point, indicating that our
garbage rates are affected by the
ability or inability of the service
provider to recycle these materials.
Well, at least in my neighborhood, this activity continues
unabated. I doubt very much that our
local police officers are wasting any
of their valuable and limited time
looking for these hooded citizens
taking their picks from our cans at 2
a.m. They certainly have far more
important crimes to fight and prevent.
During my noontime walks in
downtown San Mateo, I am more
often than not forced to detour or
keep away from people standing on
the sidewalk and smoking both conventional and, increasingly, electronic cigarettes. I see people
recoiling at the sight of the vapor
clouds they produce.

Making education
our top priority

e need not be mathematicians to understand

that numbers do not add up in Californias education system. For far too long, the logic of
our Golden States education system has simply been,
spend more and hope for the best. Consider the facts.
This year, the state of California increased funding for
K-12 education by $6 billion, bringing the annual education budget to $53 billion. Combined with annual federal
funding, our states education budget totals at about $77
billion. Few would argue that investing in education is a
waste of our time and money. Of course, that logic applies
best under two conditions.
First, every dollar invested must be accurately accounted
for to ensure an efcient use of our taxpayers hard-earned
funds. Second, the results of the investment must accurately reect the desired goal that is, the ends must reect
the means of the investment. Together, these factors
ensure that taxpayers receive the best possible return on
their investment.
According to Californias
Department of Education, public
school funding receives nearly
half of the states budget, which
far exceeds the amount spent on
any other program. With such
an investment, we might logically infer that California leads
the education frontier in the
United States. Unfortunately,
nothing could be further from
reality. In fact, our Golden State
ranks near the bottom of the 50
states in reading and math.
Jonathan Madison
According to a November
2015 report conducted by the American Legislative
Exchange Council, a leading nonprot education policy
organization, California is failing in its performance and
gains for low-income students. According to the report,
California is given a C- when considering factors such as
state academic standards, school choice programs and
teacher quality, among others. When the grades for each of
these factors are observed independently, it is easier to
understand why the state budget is drastically losing on
its return.
According to the report, one of the greatest factors in
Californias low education ranking is its lack of private
school choice programs a policy area in which the
state receives a whopping F. This report is consistent
with the 2015 annual report by the Brown Center on
Education Policy at the Brookings Institution. The
Brookings Institution Report grades more than 100 of the
nations largest school districts to the extent by which
each school district enables parents to have access to publicly funded school choices. The report suggests that year
after year, California school districts have failed to offer
parents of our 6 million school children adequate school
choice options.
Contrary to the claim that traditional public schools
best serve communities at every socioeconomic level,
both the ALEC and Brookings reports show that alternatives to traditional public schools private schools and
charter schools often drive policies that strengthen
greater access to quality education. Unfortunately,
California is experiencing a decline in private school
enrollment and very little growth in the number of charter
schools. At the same time, a number of failing schools
continue to receive government funding.
It appears that many California legislators have
employed a quantity over quality logic when it comes to
the educational standards we set for our children. It is simply incorrect that higher taxes and increased federal
spending alone improve academic standards for our
nations children.
The logic should be quality over quantity as it pertains
to public policy for California schools. As residents of
our beloved state, we have an obligation to demand that
our state government is held accountable for every tax
dollar spent on every state-sponsored program, including
education. We also have an obligation to ensure that our
states educational standards are rigorously evaluated at
every level.
More importantly, we must remember that the problems
facing K-12 education standards do not stop at public
schools. These problems translate into many high school
graduates being unable to enroll in required courses in
post-graduate education, often delaying the time at which
they can graduate. Overall, this delay can increase the student loan debt of a college student and delay the time by
which they can obtain meaningful employment.
The bottom line is that more often than not, low state
academic performance translates into poor job prospects
and a lack of opportunity. It is time our legislators started
acknowledging it.

All of the major stock indexes are
down sharply for the year.
The three indexes hinted at a rebound
early Monday, but spent much of the
day in the red as investors weighed the
implications of another stock market
drop in China and the slide in crude.
The market appeared headed for a lower
close until the final minutes of regular
trading, when the Dow and S&P 500
index shifted back into positive territory.
Mondays market action is a slight
reprieve from an otherwise rough year
so far for investors.
Last week, U.S. stocks posted their
worst week in more than four years. It
was also the markets worst-ever opening week of a year.
A weakening of Chinas currency and
steep drops in its stock market have
stoked worries over the outlook for the
worlds second-largest economy.
That doesnt bode well for the next
round of company earnings, which
kicks into gear this week.
Many companies quarterly results

will likely reflect the impact of

Chinas softening economy and lower
oil prices, said Jason Pride, director of
investment strategy at Glenmede.
The No. 1 most-mentioned item in
third-quarter reports was weakness in
China, Pride said. Wed be surprised
if China and oil are not central to the
earnings narrative as well.
Alcoa delivered its report card after
the close of regular trading on
Monday. The earnings were better than
analysts had expected. Several banks,
including Citigroup, Wells Fargo and
J.P. Morgan are scheduled to report
results toward the end of the week.
On Monday, Benchmark U.S. crude
dropped $1. 75, or 5. 3 percent, to
$31.41 a barrel in New York. The last
time it was lower was Dec. 5, 2003,
when it closed at $30.73 a barrel.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, fell $2, or 6 percent, to
$31.55 a barrel in London.
Several energy and mining companies slumped as crude oil and other
commodity prices fell.
Freeport-McMoRan sank $1.10, or

Markets to face slowing company profits after China tumult

By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Tumult in China triggered

the worst opening week for U.S. stocks in
history, and this week investors could get
plenty more to worry about.
Profits are expected to drop at U.S. companies.
Again.
Earnings for companies in the Standard
and Poors 500 index are forecast to drop for
the second straight quarter, a rare occurrence
outside a recession. Despite a rebounding
jobs market, the U.S. did not grow fast
enough to boost profits, and once surging
developing economies that helped lift foreign sales slowed dramatically.
All this would be worrisome enough at
any time, but investors are particularly jittery now. U.S. stocks are expensive by
some measures, even after slipping in 2015
and falling sharply in the first week of the

year. That leaves little room for more disappointing news.

One widely respected gauge, the so-called
Shiller earnings ratio, is flashing warning
signs. Named after Nobel Prize winner
Robert Shiller of Yale, the ratio compares
the price of stocks to annual earnings averaged over 10 years. The measure is now 25,
much higher meaning more expensive
than the long term average of 18.
When expectations are as high as they
are, thats a problem, says Jack Ablin,
chief investment officer of BMO Private
Bank.
Companies begin reporting their results
for the October-December quarter on
Monday. Earnings per share for the companies in S&P 500 is expected to have
dropped 5.5 percent compared to a year earlier, according to S&P Capital IQ, a research
firm. That follows a 1.4 percent drop in the
July-September quarter. Revenue is forecast
to fall for a fourth quarter in row.

This wasnt supposed to happen.

A year ago the average view of financial
analysts who follow the stock market said
earnings for the October-December quarter
would jump 12 percent, and urged investors
to buy accordingly.
Analysts on Wall Street are a notoriously
bullish bunch, but you can almost understand their enthusiasm. Since the financial
crisis, U.S. companies have managed to
squeeze profits out of a slow-growing
domestic economy. They slashed costs,
often through massive layoffs, and restructured their businesses to operate faster and
smarter.
They were also helped by surging sales
abroad, super-low borrowing rates thanks
to Federal Reserve policy, and a controversial maneuver: Companies bought trillions
of dollars of their own shares to take them
off the market. Investors love the maneuver, because it spreads earnings over fewer
shares and boosts earnings per share. But

United Airlines: Paris attacks cut into 4Q revenue

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS United Airlines said

Monday that a key fourth-quarter revenue figure would be weaker than previously expected partly because of the
effect on travel from the terror attacks
in Paris.
United didnt put a dollar figure on
the effect. But it said that revenue for
every seat flown one mile a key figure in the business was between
5.75 and 6.25 percent lower than in
the same quarter of 2014. United had
earlier expected a drop between 4 and 6
percent.
Besides the Nov. 13 Paris attacks,
United Continental Holdings Inc. said
it was affected by cutbacks in flying by

energy-sector employees the airline

has a hub in Houston and other factors.
The report came after United shares
closed at $51.62, down 27 cents.
Also Monday, Southwest Airlines
Co. said that traffic rose 8.6 percent in
December, leaving fewer empty middle
seats.
The average flight was 83 percent
full last month, compared with 82.7
percent in December 2014.
Dallas-based Southwest said it continues to expect revenue for every seat
flown one mile was flat to down 1 percent in the fourth quarter. That suggests average fares were lower than in
late 2014.

Virgin America Inc. , based in

Burlingame, California, said that its
December traffic rose 3.6 percent but
occupancy slipped to 82.2 percent
from 82.3 percent a year earlier.
Last week, Delta Air Lines Inc.
reported that December traffic rose 1.6
percent and the average flight was
84.4 percent full, up from 83.7 percent
the previous December. The revenue
per seat figure fell 5 percent, with most
of the drop attributed to currencyexchange
rates
and
more
Thanksgiving travel pushed into
November.
Southwest shares fell 17 cents to
close at $42.04; Virgin America shares
fell 61 cents to $32.26.

New management maps a radically changed TBS and TNT

By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASADENA To make room for the

set of Animal Kingdom, a new TNT
drama coming this summer, producers
had to destroy the family home from
The Waltons on a Hollywood soundstage.
It makes for an irresistible metaphor:
New boss Kevin Reilly has begun the
process of transforming the Turner

Networks of TBS and TNT from a home

for television comfort food into what he
hopes is a destination for buzzy, edgy
fare that can compete on the same turf as
the AMC, Netflix and HBOs of the
world. Reilly calls it a necessary move
that reflects the need to attract attention
in a crowded world of programming and
the different ways a new generation
watches television.
Frankly, we intend to rewrite the
rules now to lead the transition to the
next era to define what a TV network is

in years to come, Reilly said. The former Fox and NBC entertainment chief
came to his new job a year ago and is
only now starting to outline his vision
for the networks.
TNT and TBS are hardly failures
despite recent slippage; theyre consistently among the top-rated cable networks. But their fare is symbolized by
the TNT police procedural Rizzoli &
Isles, that Reilly just canceled, the
most popular series on cable TV that no
one talked about.

critics point out that the purchases can

make companies seem more successful running their businesses than they actually
are.
The result of all this corporate scrambling, shrewd or short-sighted, was a
booming stock market. The S&P 500 more
than tripled from its 12-year low in 2009
through its peak in May. Even after last
weeks drop, its biggest since September
2011, the index is just 6.5 percent below
that level.
The problem now is that it is difficult
for Corporate America to cut costs any
more, and the rest of the world is slowing
and cant help out. Japan, the worlds
third largest economy, barely grew last
year, Canada briefly dipped into recession
and Brazil and Russia are struggling to
escape ones. On Wednesday, the World
Bank lowered its forecast for global economic growth this year to a feeble 2. 9
percent.

Starboard pushes Macys to enter real estate deals
NEW YORK Activist investor Starboard Value wants
Macys to tap the value of its real estate assets by splitting
them off into separate companies.
Starboards plan published Monday urges the department
store operator to create two joint ventures. One would hold
its properties in New York, San Francisco and other major
cities, while the other would hold its mall properties.
Altogether, Starboard said the department stores real estate
is worth about $21 billion.
Creating the joint ventures with real estate partners could
boost the value of Macys stock to $70, Starboard said, nearly double what its currently worth. Starboard has a 1 percent
stake in Macys, according to FactSet.
Macys said it received the plan from Starboard and is
reviewing it. Last year, Macys said it was exploring joint
ventures to redevelop some of its properties, including the
ones in New York and San Francisco.
Shares of Macys rose $2.35, or 6.5 percent, to $38.24 in

Alabama runs down national championship

By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. Alabama needed it all

to win the toughest national title game it had
ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty.
All of its power. All of its speed.
Even one gutsy trick.
Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan
Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with long touchdowns, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic
play of dual-threat quarterback Deshaun
Watson to win the College Football Playoff

championship 45-40 on Monday night.

The Crimson Tide (14-1) won its three previous championship game appearances in
runaway fashion. This game was an instant
classic a welcome relief for fans who sat
through the blowouts that turned the New
Years Six lineup into a dud. It finally turned
on maybe the boldest call of Sabans career.
This was a great challenge for us, Saban
said.
With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and
Alabama having just tied the game with a
short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try

to keep the ball away from Watson and the

Tigers. He called for a popup onside kick that
Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey
caught over the shoulder at midfield.
Tide ball.
I think that changed the momentum of the
game, and our guys finished it, Saban said.
Moments later, Alabama took back the
lead. For the second time, Clemson (14-1)
lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage
and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45
left.

Fong reinvigorates Scots

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Now that Kayla Fong is back, all is right in

the world of the Carlmont Scots.
A fourth-year varsity senior with the girls
soccer team, Fong missed the first five games
of the season while playing with her club
team the De Anza Force. And in her absence,
the Scots got off to a 1-3-1 start.
Since Fong returned to the high school ranks
Jan. 2, Carlmont has broken even with a 1-1-1
record. But after a 2-1 loss to Santa Teresa-San
Jose in her season debut, the Scots went on to
open Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
play at a 1-0-1 clip, with Fong totaling three
goals and two assists over the two matches.
That tally includes two goals and two
assists in a convincing 5-1 win in the league
opener over always intimidating MenloAtherton, with her clutch showing earning
her Daily Journal Athlete of the Week honors.
Its a huge win for us, Fong said. I think
we went out there trying to prove a point and
make a statement that we can compete in this
league. I know we lost a lot of our graduating
seniors from last year and I think a lot of
teams underestimate us.
Indeed, the Scots lost nine graduating seniors from a team that went 11-2-2 in Bay
Division play to take second place before
advancing Central Coast Section Division I
semifinals. The key loss was that of co-team
captain Soha Said, Fongs fellow forward and
attacking compliment in giving Carlmont an
intimidating two-pronged front.
The loss of Said forced Carlmont head
coach Tina Smith to recreate her offense by
concentrating a more Fong-centric attack.
Altering the 4-4-2 structure the Scots had utilized over the past three seasons, Smith now
has shuffled to a 4-3-3 to give the offense
more options when Fong inevitably gets
double- and triple-teamed.
This year is the first year where shes the
big dog because shes a four-year senior, but
also everyone is supporting her, Smith said.
All the freshmen and sophomores are all
supporting her. Shes the only one up
front scoring.
The role sees Fong come full circle since

Clemson and Watson proved to be every bit

Alabamas equal. The Tigers just kept coming.
Watson led Clemson to a field goal to make
it 31-27, and boom! Another Alabama big
play. Drake broke free and streaked down the
sideline for a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown, diving the last 5 yards to the pylon.
Watson threw his third touchdown pass to
make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then
Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman

Warriors beat Heat for 36th straight home victory

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Stephen Curry scored 31

points and Draymond Green added 22 points
and 12 rebounds to lead the Golden State
Warriors to their 36th straight regular-season home win, 111-103 over the Miami Heat
on Monday night.
Klay Thompson added 17 points to help
the Warriors (36-2) get halfway to Chicagos
record win total of 72 set in 1996-97 three
games before the midpoint of the season.
Dwyane Wade scored 20 points and Chris
Bosh and Gerald Green added 15 apiece for

the Heat, who had won

eight of their past 11
games here.
But these Warriors
teams are far different and
that showed against a
resilient Heat team that
battled all night but was
unable to handle the
Steph Curry depth of the Warriors
despite the rare offshooting night from Curry.
Curry missed seven of his first nine 3point but got plenty of help as the Warriors
tied the Philadelphia 76ers (1966-67) for the

fourth longest regular-season home win

streak in NBA history. Chicago holds the
record of 44 set in 1996-97.
Back-to-back baskets by Green helped
Golden State build a 10-point lead late in the
third quarter before Miami responded with
the final seven points to make it 80-77
heading into the fourth on Goran Dragics
layup in the closing seconds.
Marreese Speights, who did not play the
first three quarters, scored Golden States
first six points of the fourth. The Warriors
extended the lead to 88-79 on a basket by
Harrison Barnes, despite the entire starting
lineup resting to start the quarter.

Three free throws by Klay Thompson after

he was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Gerald
Green and a 3-pointer from Curry made it
101-88 midway through the fourth and
Golden State went on to another win that
was sealed with a 3-pointer by Curry that
made it 110-101 with 26.9 seconds to go.
Miami played nearly flawless ball in the
first half, committing just one turnover,
assisting on 17 of 22 baskets and going on
an 11-2 run midway through the second. But
despite all that, the Heat still trailed 56-54 at
the half when Curry hit two free throws in
the closing seconds to give him 18 points at
the break.

Youre 5-foot nothing and youre 80 pounds, so well see

And it is an even year.

Kap-tai n ko meback? When the
San Francisco 49ers replaced starting
quarterback Colin Kaepernick with
Blaine Gabbert, the general consensus
was that he was done with the team.
Now, with a new coaching regime
coming in, he may actually return to the
49ers, based on what the eventual new
coach thinks he can do with him.
Its a moot point really. In addition to
the shoulder surgery he had late in the
season, hes added thumb and knee surgery to his medical le. For the 49ers to
cut Kap without serious nancial implications, he cant be hurt. There is no
way he will be healthy enough to pass
his physical in April, meaning he will
be guaranteed a $12 million salary that
the team would have to eat if they cut
him.
Based strictly on money, the 49ers
would likely see what they can get out
of Kap for that kind of money.

Pas s i ng the to rch. Many may
remember when former Raiders coach
Bill Callahan said his team must be the

dumbest team in America following a

2003 loss.
The Cincinnati Bengals may have
just ascended the throne of dumbest
team in football following yet another
playoff defeat.
First, Vontaze Burct essentially
spears a Pittsburgh receiver on an
incomplete pass with under a minute to
play and Cincinnati clinging to a 1point lead, 16-15.
To compound the obvious personal
foul, Bengals cornerback Adam Jones
AKA Pacman drew another personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct
as he protested the call.
Thirty yards in penalties later, the
Steelers were in easy eld goal range
and unlike Walsh in Minnesota,
Pittsburghs Chris Boswell booted the
35-yard game winner.
As Judd Nelsons John Bender character said in The Breakfast Club: stupid,

Levis Stadium on the verge of Super Bowl ready

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Less than four weeks

from the Super Bowl, the field is nearly
ready to be played on thanks to long days at
Levis Stadium by the crew working to
install fresh sod and make every necessary
tweak in regards to weather and other potential issues.
No turf trouble this time. Not yet, at least.
Nor does NFL field director Ed Mangan
expect it.
Were in good shape the way we are,
Mangan said Monday, noting that with the
San Francisco 49ers (5-11) out of the playoffs it was most favorable for a timely transformation.
Very smooth. The 49ers have been great,
the complex has been great and everything
so far is on schedule. Were kind of pushing
forward. ... You could play on it today once
we get it down, thats how strong it is.
Much of the 75,000 square feet of grass

NFL relocation

had begun to go down by early afternoon

Monday with the remainder likely to be in
by the end of day or Tuesday at the latest
14 more truckloads to be delivered.
The NFL is using West Coast Turf sod for
the first time since some Super Bowls
dating back a decade or more,
according to Mangan. Thats
largely based on geography
because West Coast operates
out of Californias Central
Valley in Livingston.
West Coast supplied the
previous grass removed
early last week that
wound up staying put and
durable through the course of
the recently completed 49ers season, that
following several earlier problems that
included players slipping and chunks of sod
coming loose.
The Super Bowl grass is a hybrid Bermuda
419 over-seeded with perennial rye, and it
was grown on plastic sheeting a positive

As of Monday, about 10 people were working inside the $1.3 billion, second-year
Levis Stadium with about 30 more people
joining the efforts in the next two weeks.
Mangans crew also will work on manicuring and painting the practice fields at nearby
San Jose State and Stanford, but without resodding needing to be done.
The Super Bowl teams each get a chance to
walk-through on the new field.
Weather we cant control. Time management is a matter of getting everybody who
needs access to the field access to it,
Mangan said during a short break from the
workday grind.
Trying to do what we can when we can in
a matter of trying to stay out in front of the
weather.
Right now were looking at the next couple days are nice, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday now look like rain so were trying to
speed up the process here and get ready and
ahead of the weather.

said.
The Niners have addressed any of their
issues, said Mangan, also field director for
baseballs Atlanta Braves and working
his 27th Super Bowl.
Were kind of starting anew
here with what were doing.
We do this on each one of the
natural fields. Well strip it
completely. The field has
done its job all season for
them and its done well, but
for the Super Bowl we
always put in a new field.
Mangan visited a month
ago and has been back in the
Bay Area for a little more than a week and
said his staff is working 12 to 15 hours a day
to be ready.
Mangan is checking the weather forecast
hourly given the wet El Nino cycle in
Northern California after several years of
drought. There are tarps to cover the field as

Prosecutors wont charge Odom after Nevada brothel weekend

Owners set for another round of talks

By Sally Ho

NFL owners will try again to settle the

issue of relocation to Los Angeles, this time
knowing that Commissioner Roger Goodell
has declared the stadiums inadequate in
Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego.
Two days of meetings in Houston start
Tuesday, six weeks after owners delayed a
vote because they wanted more information
on possible moves involving the Raiders,
Rams and Chargers. Any move would
involve one or two teams.
Each team recently submitted a formal
relocation bid.

Task force: Mammograms an option at 40, do more good at 50

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Mammograms do
the most good later in life, a government task force declared Monday in
recommending that women get one
every other year starting at age 50. It
said 40-somethings should make their
own choice after weighing the pros
and cons.
When to start routine mammograms
and how frequently to get them has
long been controversial. The latest
guidelines from the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force stick with its
advice that women should one every
two years between ages 50 and 74. But
they also make clear that its an option

for younger women even though

theyre less likely to benefit.
Some health groups urge mammograms every year starting at 40
although last year the American
Cancer Society upped its starting age
to 45.
There is some common ground
emerging, that mammography advice
shouldnt always be one-size-fits all.
Age 50 isnt magic, said task force
past chairman Dr. Michael LeFevre of
the University of Missouri.
Here are some things to know about
mammograms.

WHAT THE TASK FORCE SAYS

Women in their 60s are the most
likely to avoid dying from breast can-

cer thanks to mammograms, but

theres clearly enough benefit for the
average woman to start at 50, the task
force found.
The advisory group wants younger
women to understand the trade-offs
before deciding: Among every 1,000
women screened, one additional death
could be prevented by starting mammograms at 40 instead of 50. But there
would be 576 more false alarms and 58
additional unneeded biopsies. Also,
two extra women would be overdiagnosed, treated for cancer that never
would have become life-threatening.
Mondays update, published in
Annals of Internal Medicine, is largely
a rewording of guidelines originally

Women in their 60s are the most likely to avoid dying from
breast cancer thanks to mammograms, but theres clearly

RULES
Continued from page 1
ingly popular e-cigarettes in its ban.
I think that Belmont broke ground years
ago when it enacted the smoking ordinance
and I think we as a City Council owe it to
the people of Belmont to make sure that we
keep up with the times, said Mayor Eric
Reed. Im fully in favor of including electronic cigarettes in the smoking ordinance.
While Belmont was somewhat revolutionary in passing its original ordinance
years ahead of neighboring cities, it has yet
to update its rules to cover the contemporary electronic devices that industry representatives tout as a safer alternative to traditional tobacco.
Still, with disputes over the quality of the
liquid nicotine and a lack of regulation having sparked statewide legislation discussions, many cities have stepped up by crafting their own ordinances to deter e-cigarettes from being used in public.

issued in 2009 and reconsidered in draft
form last spring. This time, the task force
stresses that we think the science supports
a range of options for 40-somethings,
LeFevre said.

DIFFERING GUIDELINES
Mammograms arent perfect, and different
health organizations weigh the trade-offs
differently. So do women and their physicians.
The American Cancer Society says to
begin annual mammograms at 45 but switch
to every other year at 55. After menopause,
tumors tend to grow more slowly and

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Belmonts proposed amendments include

redefining smoke to include the vapor
released during the use of an e-cigarette and
products containing nicotine, according to
a staff report.
Many assert minors are frequently targeted in the sale of e-cigarettes and San Mateo
recently took a bold step by requiring sellers to obtain a tobacco retailer permit from
the countys health department. Reed said
he too would like to take further steps concerning how e-cigarettes are sold.
Theres issues with all of the vapor
shops that we have in Belmont and up and
down the Peninsula. I find those to be an
odious business to be in because it attracts
more kids to smoking. So Im convinced of
that and as we move forward, I would like to
see something done to regulate those, Reed
said. The bottom line is whether its
hookah or an electronic cigarette or a traditional cigarette, they are all health hazards
and because of that they should be regulated
and they should be strictly regulated.
While Reed said updating the smoking
ordinance is an easy decision to make, on
Tuesday night it will follow a more complex
discussion of the citys user fees.

The fee structure affects nearly everyone

who does business or owns property in
Belmont, prompting the council to commission an extensive review of what it
charges for a variety of city operations
ranging from building permits to parking
tickets.
The city annually reviews its user fees and
makes adjustments for consumer price index
changes, however, it hasnt taken a comprehensive, in-depth look at its fee schedule
since 2001.
Reed emphasized not all fees will be
increased, in fact, some may be decreased
such as some fees associated with remodeling ones home.
User fees at one time or another affects
almost everybody, every homeowner. And
its really important that the city be made
whole in terms of what it takes to support
the community. And its also very important that Belmont residents be treated fairly
by the fee system and not to be overburdened by fees that are excessive, Reed said.
This is our time to balance fees and some
are going up and some are coming down.
In a letter to the council and sent to the
Daily Journal, Belmont resident Tim

Strinden said he felt the proposed fees were

too high and are inconsistent with what
neighboring cities charge.
Strinden also expressed concern about the
methodology used to examine the fees and
how unproductive staff time is defined or
whether it should be included in calculating
costs.
Reed agreed the issue is complex and covers both policy decisions, such as should
the city fully recoup costs for certain services; as well as a technical review of what staff
time goes in to providing services, Reed
said.
For the most part, Belmont should shoot
for 100 percent recovery and we should be
consistent with the cities that are surrounding us to the best of our ability, Reed said,
noting some residents have raised concerns
and further study may be needed. I think
tomorrow we may make some progress in
achieving that goal, but I believe a more
robust study session may be required.
Because its a complex issue.

womens breast tissue becomes less dense

and easier for mammograms to penetrate,
says chief medical officer Dr. Otis Brawley.
Between ages 40 and 44, when breast cancer
is especially uncommon, the society also
says women should make their own choice.
Were moving away from paternalistic
medicine where we doctor organizations
used to tell women, You must do this,
Brawley said. Were saying, This woman
is at higher risk, therefore maybe she
should get screened at 40. This woman is at
lower risk, maybe she can wait a little
later.
The American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists stands by annual mammograms starting at 40, while urging
patient education and shared decision-making.

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed

with breast cancer each year, and about
40,000 die from it. It is most frequently
diagnosed among women ages 55 to 64, and
the median age of death from breast cancer
is 68.
Women with a mother, sister or daughter
with breast cancer have a higher risk than
the average 40-year-old. Other factors can
play a role, too, including genetics, breast
density and menstrual and pregnancy history.

ing in a new way.

Esserman leads the first-of-its-kind WISDOM study that soon will begin enrolling
100,000 women to test whether tailoring
screening to someones individual risk is
better than age-based mammograms.
Women given annual mammograms starting
at 40 will be compared with others assigned
more or less frequent screenings, starting at
different ages, based on in-depth risk
assessments.

PERSONALIZED SCREENING

INSURANCE COVERAGE

Dueling guidelines mean some people

get so confused they dont get screened at
all. Some are too anxious or afraid not to do
more, and it may not be better for them,
said breast cancer specialist Dr. Laura
Esserman of the University of California,
San Francisco. Maybe we should be screen-

Insurance usually pays for mammograms.

Because of concern about how the task force
recommendations might be implemented,

Medicare expands coordinated care for 8.9M beneficiaries

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Medicare is expanding

a major experiment that strives to keep seniors healthier by coordinating basic medical care to prevent common problems that
often lead to hospitalization, the agency
said on Monday.
Officials announced 121 new accountable care organizations, networks of doctors and hospitals that collaborate to better
serve patients with chronic medical conditions. A limited number will be able to
directly recruit patients.
We do view this as beneficiaries voting
with their feet, said Patrick Conway,
Medicares chief medical officer. Talking
things over with their doctor is the best way

LIGHTS
Continued from page 1
project among Hillsdale residents is so
severe some have said they are considering
moving once the lights are installed.
No district campuses, other than
Burlingame High School, have permanent
field lights. Aragon, San Mateo, Hillsdale,
Capuchino and Mills high schools currently use mobile gas-powered lamps to light
fields during night games.
District officials have discussed spending
between $6 million and $8 million of bond
money, dedicated solely for spending
toward capital improvement projects, to
install the lights.
When Hillsdale High School hosts rivalry
football games, Banda said his neighborhood is inundated with poorly parked cars
and trash strewn by careless fans and overwhelmed by light as well as noise from the
crowd and public address system.
Under the policy up for approval by the
board, district staff is expressing a willingness to manage the lights, public address
system and traffic in a fashion which minimizes the impact on the surrounding neighborhood.

for beneficiaries to decide on joining one of

the accountable care groups. They can also
call Medicare at (800) 633-4227 to find out
if there is a so-called ACO in their community.
ACOs work to improve quality and lower
costs. Part of their payment from Medicare
is based on how well they meet those
goals. It can be as simple as making sure
patients receive regular follow-up visits
and stay on their medications. Eliminating
duplicative tests is another route to savings.
Mondays announcement means 8.9 million beneficiaries will now be getting their
care through ACOs. Thats close to 1 in 4
seniors with traditional Medicare, and an
increase of about 1 million beneficiaries
receiving care under the new approach. The

total number of ACOs will rise to 477

across the country.
Twenty-one new ACOs will be allowed to
recruit patients. Conway said these Next
Generation ACOs are already starting out
with 650,000 beneficiaries. Theyll also
have greater flexibility in organizing how
they deliver care.
Kavita Patel, a Brookings Institution
health policy expert, said a healthy level of
interest among clinicians in the next generation phase of the program seems like a
plus for the administration.
Close to half of the 21 are led by doctors,
reinforcing that these models are viable
and potentially might succeed overall, she
said.
The ACOs come in a variety of designs,
according to the level of financial risk the

groups themselves take on. Conway said

organizations that take more responsibility
for the bottom line often do better on quality, because they have a greater incentive to
keep patients healthy.
Traditionally Medicare paid the bills as
they came in from hospitals and doctors.
But under President Barack Obamas health
care law, the program is trying to shift to
rewarding quality over sheer volume of
services. With Medicares long-term financial future in jeopardy, much is at stake.
The new approach tries to remake the way
medical care is delivered to patients, by fostering teamwork among clinicians, emphasizing timely preventive services and paying close attention to patients transitions
between hospital and home. The jury is still
out on its lasting impact.

Trustee Marc Friedman said school officials will limit use of the lights, turn down
the volume of the public address system and
encourage fans to park on district property
during sporting or school events, among
other efforts.
He said though the district is limited to
some degree in its power to control the
behavior of those who attend sporting
events, officials want to promote being a
good neighbor.
We are going to do the best that we can,
he said.
Board President Robert Griffin echoed
those sentiments.
The district will be really hands on and
continue to be interactive with the public,
he said.
District spokeswoman Sheri Costa-Batis
said an added benefit of the field lights project would be to grant an opportunity for the
community to come together to enjoy
sporting events under the lights, once the
installation is completed.
This will really enrich the experience for
students and families, she said. Overall, it
will be a great community project.
Banda though said he was amused by the
concept that the schools should be a venue
for community building.
I think this is absurd, he said.

Costa-Batis added though she believes

even those who oppose the project may
eventually come to embrace the districts
commitment to being a local asset.
We are really invested in the community
we serve, she said.
Though games on the gridiron have been
spotlighted by many residents in their
opposition of the project, Friedman said he
feels the crux of the issue is not properly
being illuminated.
He said the focus of the conversation
should be the ability of district officials to
push back school start times once the lights
are installed, which studies have shown is
better for the health of students.
District schools currently start at 8 a.m.,
as officials are attempting to provide
enough time for student athletes to practice
or play games after school while missing
only minimal class time.
Should the lights be installed, officials
would need to be less cognizant of the limited daylight, especially during the winter
months, as the new lamps would allow
teams to practice or play later into the
night.
Friedman said the lights being installed
would allow schools to push start times
back by 30 or 45 minutes, which would give
all students more time to rest.

There are additional benefits available to

the community if the lights are installed,
said Friedman, as officials are amenable to
considering allowing local youth sports
programs to use the fields under the lamps
for practice or games when not in use by
high schools.
School officials will work with city officials throughout San Mateo, San Bruno,
Millbrae and Burlingame to gauge the community interest in using the fields, said
Friedman.
He added he believed use of the lights at
fields should be available to members of the
community who want to run on the track at
the campuses early in the morning as well.
For his part, Friedman said he expected
officials to approve policy regulating the
use of the field lights during the upcoming
meeting.
Its an iterative process, and I expect it
will go forward, he said.
Banda said he too expected the lights to
be installed, despite his dismay.
Overall, they will in fact vote for this,
he said.
The San Mateo Union High School
District Board of Trustees meets 7 p.m.,
Thursday, Jan. 14, in the SMART Center on
the San Mateo High School campus, 789 E.

WASTE
Continued from page 1
The agreement was reached with San
Francisco Baykeeper, an advocacy
group which has worked to enforce
environmental
protection
laws
through filing legal actions across the
Bay Area.
Doug Button, president of South San
Francisco Scavenger Company and the
Blue Line Transfer Station, said the
two organizations which work together to operate the facility, are amenable
to upgrading the environmental protections.
Rather than go through a long,
dragged-out fight with these guys,
we decided it would be better to
improve our management practices,
he said.
Under the terms of the agreement,
the waste management and recycling
facility must regularly clean all its
basins, drains and filters which flow
into the Bay, improve its sweeping
around the site, monitor emissions
from its fleet of vehicles, and install a
bioswale, which is a landscaping
mechanism used to filter groundwater
runoff, among other efforts.
The facility, which sits adjacent to
the Bay and serves South San
Francisco, Millbrae, Brisbane and

RINK
Continued from page 1
sonal activity and has visions of future
rinks hosting more amenities such as
music and food.
Lots of people, including myself
and my kids, have made it out to do
some ice skating, Goethals said. The
support that we saw and the number of
people that went out to use the rink, I
think theres an opportunity to continue it in future years and maybe
expand on it.
Recreation was a hot topic amongst
city officials and the community over
the past few years with issues such
amending the Central Park Master Plan
and the owners of Bridgepointe
Shopping Center seeking to tear down
its ice rink drawing significant attention. SPI Holdings, owner of the shopping center, seeks to amend the
Bridgepointe Master Plan and tear
down the rink while constructing more
retail in its place a controversial
proposal that requires the City
Councils approval.
Although it was tentatively scheduled for a hearing later this month, SPI
recently requested the meeting be postponed, likely until March 7, said Chief
of Planning Ron Munekawa.

Colma, faces financial penalties

should terms of the agreement not be
followed.
Button said the various improvements should cost the privately-owned
waste management companies roughly
$20,000 to install.
He added the cost of the upgrades
would not be passed along to customers, but those who drop off materials for disposal at the site will be
required to contribute to the cleanup
effort as well.
All trucks hauling to the center will
be required to cover their loads, said
Button, to reduce the amount of materials that could blow off into the water.
We believe that we are all responsible for the Bay, he said. So lets try
and make sure we dont add to that and
no one coming here does.
Attorney George Torgun, who represented Baykeeper, said the path leading to reaching the agreement was relatively simple and efficient, due in
part to the willingness of the scavenger company and transfer site to
comply.
They were very cooperative, said
Torgun. They certainly seemed like
they wanted to do the right thing. They
care about the environment and care
about the Bay. So it was a good working relationship.
Torgun said Baykeeper began tracking emissions from the waste management site last year, and found that the

amount of toxins flowing into the Bay

was more than the allowable amount
under the federal Clean Water Act.
He said more work must be done at
the disposal site to identify solutions
for addressing especially problematic
areas, but felt management at the scavenger company and transfer site were
committed to holding up their end of
the legal agreement.
We are going to keep monitoring
how they are doing over the coming
months to control pollutants from the
site, Torgun said.
The advocacy group has levied legal
action against local cities such as
Burlingame, Millbrae, South San
Francisco, San Carlos and other
municipalities in recent years to reduce
emissions into the Bay.
Should South San Francisco
Scavenger Company and the Blue Line
Transfer fail to comply with the terms
of the agreement, penalties such as
$500 daily fines could be imposed.
Torgun called the threat of fines a
little incentive to follow the agreement, he said.
For his part, Button said the companies are committed to following
through on making the improvements.
We do everything we can, and we
thought we were doing everything
possible, he said. But then again,
there are always ways to improve
things and that is what we are trying to
do here.

Goethals said the Bridgepointe and

Central Park rinks are not related as the
now shuttered shopping center facility
previously hosted leagues and classes.
Instead, recreational skaters who
sought a festive holiday activity were
more common at the temporary rink,
Goethals said.
San Mateo resident Gatan VoyerPerrault said he bought a season pass
for San Mateos holiday rink and would
do so again in subsequent years.
Originally from Canada, the father
sought to introduce his 4-year-old son
Mason to the joys of skating.
Its a nice way to go out and do
some physical activity and do something that youre not going to do all
the time, Voyer-Perrault said, noting
its a new seasonal amenity at the
park. We are blessed at the ability to
run outside and play tennis here and
now were blessed to be able to skate
here, so this is a fun change.
Vivian Barry-Hamilton and her son
Brandon, 4, enjoyed their time at the
ice skating rink with no complaints.
She was extremely pleased with how
kid-friendly the rink seemed and
would definitely return again next
year.
I think its great for the kids and I
like how they have the blue supporters
for the children because I dont think
all ice skating rinks have those,
Barry-Hamilton said. I think this sort

of thing is perfect for families and

children to have fun and get outside.
Many others who strapped on skates
and visited the rink Sunday before it
closed for the season agreed theyd
return should Central Park have another rink in future years.
The city is well situated to welcome
another rink operator who is responsible for providing and setting up the
temporary equipment as well as
staffing the facility.
In 2014, the City Council approved
spending up to $150,000 on electrical
improvements at the park in anticipation of the rink. Although the dirt
infield needs to be restored after the
rink is removed, the city wouldnt
have any additional expenses for future
seasons, Canzian said.
Ideally, the rink attracts visitors to
San Mateo for a festive experience and
to frequent its nearby bustling downtown, Canzian said.
To be able to have an activity that
drew so many people and seemed to be
such a natural connection being close
to downtown, it was a great space activation, Canzian said, referring to the
field that typically sits unused during
the winter. Youre activating a space
that otherwise would not have had participants.

David Bowie dies of cancer at 69

By Mesfin Fekadu
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK David Bowie, the

chameleon-like star who transformed the
sound and the look of rock with his
audacious creativity and his sexually
ambiguous makeup and costumes, died of
cancer Sunday.
Bowie, whose hits included Space
Oddity, Fame, Heroes and Lets
Dance, died surrounded by family, representative Steve Martin said early Monday.
The singer, who was 69, had fought cancer
for 18 months.
Long before alter egos and wild outfits
became commonplace in pop, Bowie turned
the music world upside down with the
release of the 1972 album, The Rise and
Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from
Mars which introduced one of musics most
famous personas. Ziggy Stardust was a
concept album that imagined a rock star
from outer space trying to make his way in
the music world. The persona the redheaded, eyeliner wearing Stardust would
become an enduring part of Bowies legacy,
and a touchstone for the way entertainers
packaged themselves for years to come.
Bowies birthday was Friday, the same day
as he released his new album, Blackstar.
A statement on social media asked fans to
respect the familys privacy. No more

REUTERS

A woman with a Ziggy Stardust tattoo visits a mural of David Bowie in Brixton, London.
details were provided.
Born David Jones in London, the singer
came of age in the early 1970s glam rock
era. He had a striking androgynous look in
his early days and was known for changing his appearance and sounds. After

Ziggy Stardust, the stuttering rock

sound of Changes gave way to the disco
soul of Fame, co-written with John
Lennon, to a droning collaboration with
Brian Eno in Berlin that produced
Heroes.

He had some of his biggest successes in

the early 1980s with the bombastic Lets
Dance, and a massive American tour.
Another one of his definitive songs was
Under Pressure, which he recorded with
Queen; Vanilla Ice would years later infamously use the songs hook for his smash
hit Ice Ice Baby.
My entire career, Ive only really worked
with the same subject matter, Bowie told
the Associated Press in a 2002 interview.
The trousers may change, but the actual
words and subjects Ive always chosen to
write with are things to do with isolation,
abandonment, fear and anxiety all of the
high points of ones life.
Bowie lived in West Berlin in the late
1970s and Mayor Michael Mueller said
Monday that Heroes became the hymn of
our then-divided city and its longing for
freedom.
Germanys Foreign Ministry added Bowie
was now among heroes and thanked him
for helping to bring down the wall.
Bowies performance of Heroes was
also a highlight at a concert for rescue
workers after the 2001 World Trade Center
attacks.
What Im most proud of is that I cant
help but notice that Ive affected the vocabulary of pop music. For me, frankly, as an

BAGHDAD Gunmen stormed into a Baghdad mall on

Monday after setting off a car bomb and launching a suicide
attack at its entrance, killing at least 18 people and wounding 50 in the citys mainly Shiite east, Iraqi officials said.
The officials initially described the attack as a hostage
situation, estimating that 50 people were trapped inside the
complex. But Iraqi forces soon surrounded the building and
landed troops on the roof. They clashed with the attackers
inside, killing two of them, arresting another four and
declaring the standoff over.
At least four police were among those killed in the
assault, which lasted around an hour and a half, according to
the police and medical officials, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized to brief
reporters.
Following the attack, authorities shut down the citys
highly fortified Green Zone, home to a number of foreign
embassies and most of the countrys political elite. A number of major roads, shopping malls and bridges around the
Iraqi capital were also closed for fear of follow-up attacks.
Also on Monday evening, a car bomb in southeast
Baghdad in a crowded market area killed five and wounded
12, according to hospital and police officials.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for either
attack, but the Islamic State group often targets the countrys Shiite majority with bombs in crowded marketplaces
that are designed to kill large numbers of civilians.
The Islamic State group controls much of northern and
western Iraq, but suffered a major defeat last month when
Iraqi forces drove the extremists out of the western city of
Ramadi, capital of the sprawling Anbar province.
The IS rampage across Iraq in the summer of 2014 was
halted several miles away from Baghdad, but the extremist
group has claimed a number of attacks in the heavily guarded capital since then.
