Belmont Iceland set to close

Owners point to financial impact of maintenance; ice rink to close by April 30
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo County will soon lose another

recreational amenity as owners of the
Belmont Iceland announced they are closing the rink due to financial constraints.
The nearly 60-year-old facility off Old
County Road hosts hundreds of skaters,
hockey players, various sporting leagues

and students. However, the expense of

maintaining costly equipment and machinery needed to support the ice has led owners
to decide to close the rink no later than
April 30, according to an announcement
sent Wednesday by parent company East
Bay Iceland.
The cost of maintaining the ice and the
building is greater than the owners are prepared to handle, Belmont Iceland Assistant

Manager Aaron Beecher said Wednesday

afternoon. Its sad, its sad. Kids grew up
skating here, I grew up skating here, most
of our staff has skated here for years. Its
been a rough day.
Beecher said officials intend to keep the
rink open as long as possible, assuming
they can retain current staff, which includes
15 employees and 25 skating instructors.
It will be the second rink San Mateo

County has lost in the last few years following the controversial closure of
Bridgepointe Shopping Center Ice Chalet
in 2013. Unlike the Belmont facility, the
Bridgepointe ice rink was called for in the
sites Master Plan and has prompted owner
SPI Holdings to offer the city of San Mateo
$3 million to demolish the facility.

Before the 24 invited Titans of Mavericks competitors will be able to astonish fans by riding towering 40-foot waves, the
elements must align. Last weeks El Nio-pumped swell didnt coincide with favorable conditions.

The tricky business of forecasting Titans

Monster waves hit Mavericks, contest organizers consider conditions
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Despite a literal bone-breaking

swell attracting some of the worlds
best big wave surfers to Half Moon
Bay last week, organizers of the
revamped Titans of Mavericks surf
competition say El Nio is making the
already tricky process of forecasting
contest-worthy conditions even more
unpredictable.
While the welcomed rains have
recently provided some relief to the
long-standing drought, Mavericks
officials are awaiting a calm in the
storm partnered with some gnarly
waves.

Should favorable weather align with

touted El Nio-fueled towering walls of
water in time, it will be the first competition since the Los-Angeles-based
Cartel Management took over before a
lackluster 2014-15 season.
A local crew of prestigious surfers
known as Cartels Committee 5, which
includes Mavericks maven Jeff Clark,
is responsible for coordinating with
seasoned forecasters who are now
monitoring the ever-changing ocean
conditions 24/7. The objective
consistent monstrous waves paired
with clean weather during daytime
hours.
Theres plenty of potential swells,
thats not the issue. The issue is the

weather, said Mavericks forecaster

Mark Sponsler. Contest criteria is
based on a convergence of four
things: sunlight, swell, tide and wind.
Were watching every storm figuring out when its going to arrive,
looking at the local weather, and trying to see if theres a window of opportunity there. Pretty much every day the
picture changes.
El Nio comes with active and inactive oscillations and forecasters are
now banking on strong waves with
favorable weather arriving in late
January. After that, it may be several
weeks before powerful swells strike

Limousine involved in fire
that killed five nurses recalled
SAN FRANCISCO A specialty car
manufacturer is recalling the limousine
model involved in a 2013 fire that killed
five nurses on the San Mateo-Hayward
Bridge.
Accubuilt is recalling about 1,000
limousines manufactured between Jan.
2, 1998, and July 21, 2005, because a
rubbing driveshaft may increase the risk
of fire. Its unclear if the recall is a result
of the California fire in a 1999 Lincoln
Town Car limo.
A representative of the Lima, Ohiobased company did not return a call for
comment Wednesday.
The California Highway Patrol said
the blaze broke out on the San MateoHayward Bridge because of a catastrophic failure of the rear suspension system.
Authorities said the air suspension failure allowed the spinning driveshaft to
contact the floor pan, causing friction
that ignited carpets and set the limo on
fire. No charges were filed.
The fire occurred while a nurse, Neriza
Fojas, was celebrating her recent wedding with a group of friends. She was
among the five killed. Four other
friends inside the limo and the limo
driver survived.

Authorities in Florida say a suspected

burglar was arrested after returning to a

City has grand plans for El Camino

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Redwood City Council approved a consultant agreement Monday night to prepare a
blueprint for future growth on El Camino
Real that will rethink the corridors potential
for housing and other development.
The plan also will look at balancing the
needs for cars and parking with viable
options for transit, walking and biking,
according to a staff report by Senior Planner
Lindy Chan.
The council entered into a professional
services agreement with Dyett & Bhatia for
the preparation of the El Camino Real
Corridor Plan that could take up to 18 months
to complete. The contract is for $195,604.
The process will include the formation of a
community advisory committee so residents
who live along the corridor can help craft the
final document, said Vice Mayor Ian Bain.
This is not a plan to build big buildings.

all look and feel of the corridor, Bain said

Wednesday. El Camino can be a visibly
much better looking street.
The plan will also look at the potential for
building low- and very-low affordable housing along the corridor, he said.
Weve built lots of market-rate housing
but havent built enough low-income housing. We need to build it in a way that is sensitive, height appropriate and doesnt bring
more traffic, Bain said. We want to keep
people of all income levels in the city.
The plan will fit in with the Grand
Boulevard Initiative, Mayor John Seybert
said.
El Camino is a transit corridor that is
arguably the most significant road in
Redwood City, Seybert said.
SamTrans and Caltrain should also be a part
of the solution for mitigating traffic
impacts, he said.
Its a road that should be given some
thoughtful attention and its a great opportunity for the communitys collective wisdom
to come into play, Seybert said Wednesday.

Pedestrian and bicycle safety will also be a

part of the plan.
Crossing El Camino can be difficult,
Seybert said.
The plan will also focus on small-business
retention.
The plan could contain:
A form-based code that focuses on design
and architecture. The form based code would
work within the existing maximum height
standards (no intensification beyond existing zoning standards will be proposed);
Emphasis on housing opportunities with
a focus on providing affordable housing;
Connections and interface with the
Downtown Precise Plan;
Opportunities for implementing the
citys Community Benefit (Partnership
RWC) program;
Implementation of public improvements
to enhance appearance and functionality of
El Camino Real;
Design guidelines for future projects; and
A comprehensive small business preservation and development strategy.

Twenty-six trees are slated to be removed

along El Camino Real between Southwood

Francisco later this month for a regional

pipe installation by the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission.
The SFPUC will install an 8-inch diameter pipe to connect regional water customers with a water supply that can be used
during a drought or other emergency,
according to the SFPUC.
Officials say that the trees are aging and
some are in very poor health. Digging
could damage the root structure and become
a safety hazard. Replanting the trees will be
coordinated with the city of South San

During tree removal and pipeline construction, the sidewalk and parking lane

The blast killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.

Prosecutors:PG&E resisted changing

record-keeping practices after blast
By Sudhin Thanwala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A former Pacific Gas

& Electric company employee experienced
resistance when she tried in the wake of a
deadly explosion at a gas line to improve
the companys shoddy record-keeping, federal prosecutors said in a court filing in their
criminal case against PG&E.
Investigators have blamed the 2010 blast
in part on poor record-keeping at PG&E that
they say was based on incomplete and inaccurate pipeline information.
The U.S. Attorneys Office said in a court
filing Monday that Leslie McNiece, a former PG&E employee, would testify that
another PG&E employee asked her to
destroy documents. Prosecutors did not say
what those documents contained.
McNiece would also testify that she found
other documents in a trash bin, according to
the court filing. Those documents show
PG&E was aware that its records lacked
information about a previous leak on the
gas line that exploded, prosecutors said.
The pushback McNiece faced hindered

her ability to address PG&Es deficient

records, and therefore is inextricably intertwined, direct evidence of PG&Es knowledge of its recordkeeping deficiencies,
prosecutors said.
PG&E spokesman Greg Snapper said in a
statement the company unequivocally disagreed with the claims and mischaracterizations contained in the governments filing.
We look forward to the opportunity to
shed light on the facts in court, he said.
Prosecutors have charged PG&E with 27
felony counts of pipeline safety code violations and one felony count of obstruction of
justice.
Prosecutors say PG&E tried to mislead federal investigators about pipeline testing
and maintenance procedures it was following at the time of the explosion in the city
of San Bruno. The blast killed eight people
and destroyed 38 homes.
Prosecutors also say the utility was operating under a company policy that did not
meet federal safety standards, failing to prioritize as high-risk and properly assess
many of its oldest natural gas pipelines.

FRESNO A break in the California

Aqueduct has halted the flow of water in the
canal that supplies millions of Southern
California residents, but theres no concern
that taps will run dry, officials said
Wednesday.
Reservoirs below the break hold enough
water to supply customers until a work crew
repairs the damaged canal lining, said Ted
Thomas, a spokesman for the states
Department of Water Resources.
Southern California wont even notice,
he said. Theres going to be no interrupted
deliveries.
The California Aqueduct begins in Northern
California, and it supplies water to 25 million residents and nearly 1 million acres of
farmland.
The break was first discovered Jan. 2 near
Taft, a community about 35 miles southwest
of Bakersfield. Repairs should be done no
later than Feb. 20, Thomas said.
Thomas said that initially, up to 3 cubic
feet of water was leaking every second. At
that pace, 11 days of leaking water would be
enough to supply roughly 70 families for a
whole year.
The leaking water initially ran into an irri-

California lawmakers
consider green energy audit
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
are considering whether to ask the state auditor to review spending and job creation under
Proposition 39, the voter-approved measure
that promised to generate billions for environmentally efficient projects and create
green jobs.
A joint Assembly-Senate panel heard a
request Wednesday from Assemblyman Brian
Jones of Santee, but took no action.
The Republican lawmaker requested the
audit after the Associated Press reported last
August that less than $300 million had been
distributed to schools and only 1,700 jobs
created in three years.
The initiative was sold to voters as a way to
close a corporate tax loophole, generate billions for green energy projects at California
schools and create 11,000 jobs each year.
Lawmakers also voted Wednesday not to
audit cost projections for the $68 billion
high-speed rail program.

Abortion-rights group criticizes

Nancy Pelosi over comments
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A major abortionrights group on Wednesday criticized

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
over what it called disappointing and
ill-advised remarks, the second public
rift in a year with a lawmaker such
organizations have long considered
one of their staunchest congressional
allies.
In an interview published Wednesday
in which the California Democrat
defended a womans right to abortion,
Pelosi said, I dont believe in abortion
on demand. The interview appeared in
Roll Call, which covers Congress.
NARAL Pro-Choice America said in a
written statement that with abortion
rights under attack by lawmakers, advocates need their supporters to speak
with a clear and strong voice and
should not use twisted GOP talking
points.
We dont know women who demand
abortion, said the statement by Sasha
Bruce, a NARAL senior vice president.
Bruce added, We do know women who

Two arrested for prowling

A timely 911 call about suspicious
activity from a resident of a Belmont
apartment complex early Tuesday led
to the arrest of two suspects and the
recovery of a stolen vehicle and stolen
property, according to police.
At approximately 4:40 a.m., a resident of an apartment complex in the
700 block of Old County Road called
911 reporting a woman looking into
cars in the complexs parking lot,
according to police.
Responding officers contacted the
woman as she was leaving the com-

make
thoughtful
decisions about how
and if they want to
start a family, and
who need access to
all
reproductivehealth care services.
The unusual public
Nancy Pelosi reproach came with
Republicans trying
to halt federal funds for Planned
Parenthood, which provides womens
health care and abortions and sometimes furnishes fetal tissue to
researchers.
President Barack Obama vetoed legislation last week blocking that money
and weakening his health care overhaul. Abortion-rights groups are bracing for a renewed effort after
Novembers elections, which might
succeed should the GOP win the White
House and retain control of Congress.
Time and time again, Leader Pelosi
has stood up for women and our reproductive rights, NARAL said. But at a
moment when so much is at stake, her
comments are particularly disappoint-

ing and ill-advised.

Pelosi said in the published interview
that she comes from a very Catholic
family, largely pro-life. She noted she
had five children and Im with the program in terms of the Catholic Church.
She added, If theres one issue that
really is almost inflaming to women, is
when politicians say we will influence
the size and timing of your family, we
will decide what is right for you.
Asked Wednesday about NARALs
criticism of her remarks about abortion
on demand, Pelosi said, I never supported that. She said lawmakers and
others should try to make sure that
women have the right to make their
own decisions in terms of the size and
timing of their families. Thats something that I have been passionate
about.
Last March, abortion-rights groups
criticized Pelosi over a provision curbing abortions at community health centers, which largely serve lower-income
women, that she agreed to include in a
bipartisan compromise bill that also
revamped how Medicare reimburses
doctors.

Gov. Haley and Speaker Ryan offer

new Republican answer to Trump

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton share a laugh at the Democratic presidential candidates debate at St. Anselm
College in Manchester, N.H.

Sanders congressional record

under scrutiny by Clinton camp
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KEENE, N.H. Bernie Sanders

casts himself as the voice of antiestablishment politics, fueling
his insurgent rise in the
Democratic primaries as a principled fighter unwilling to compromise for political gain.
But hes also a 25-year veteran
of Congress.
Now, with his campaign locked
in a tight race against Hillary
Clinton in Iowa and New
Hampshire, hes facing attacks
about inconsistencies in his vot-

ing record raising questions

that could undermine not only his
presidential aspirations, but the
brand hes cultivated over the
course of his political career.
Sanders has spent months
framing Clinton as a typical
politician, arguing that she has
switched her views on issues like
trade, gay marriage and the war in
Iraq for political gain.
I have been fairly consistent
my entire political life, Sanders
said in an interview on MSNBC
last week. What we have seen
over the years, as you have indi-

cated, in many ways, Secretary

Clinton has been flip-flopping.
But he too has been forced to
fend off questions about his positions, particularly legislation
proposing a single payer health
care plan and 2005 support for a
bill that protected gun manufacturers from liability in mass
shootings a vote Clinton has
made central to her attacks.
Its not a mistake, Sanders
said at a Democratic forum in
Iowa on Monday. Like many
pieces of legislation, it is complicated.

WASHINGTON Two fresh

faces in the Republican Party
House Speaker Paul Ryan and
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley
are offering messages of diversity and openness to immigrants
that could answer the GOP establishments increasingly desperate search for an antidote to the
loud pronouncements of presidential front-runner Donald
Trump.
Delivering the GOP rebuttal to
President Barack Obamas State
of the Union address Tuesday
night, Haley, a daughter of

Indian immigrants, called

for welcoming
legal
immigrants to the
country as long
as
theyre
properly vetted, and for
Donald Trump resisting the
temptation to
follow the siren call of the angriest voices.
She acknowledged Wednesday
that her comments were partly
aimed at Trump, telling NBCs

definitely contributed to what I
think is just irresponsible talk.

U.S. and Iran forge

new relationship as
nuke deal advances
By Matthew Lee and Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Iran released 10 U.S. sailors after holding them overnight, bringing a swift end to an incident that had rattled nerves days ahead
of the expected implementation of a landmark nuclear accord between Tehran and world powers.

U.S. Navy sailors released

by Iran in less than a day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates It

turned out to be the international crisis that wasnt.
Less than a day after 10 U.S. Navy
sailors were detained in Iran when
their boats drifted into Iranian waters,
they and their vessels were back safely Wednesday with the American fleet.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
tapped the personal relationship he
has formed with Iranian Foreign
Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in
the three years of negotiations over

Irans nuclear program, speaking with

him at least five times by telephone.
Kerry credited the quick resolution to
the critical role diplomacy plays in
keeping our country secure and
strong.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter
thanked Kerry after the sailors release
and couched the incident in humanitarian terms, noting that the U.S. Navy
routinely provides assistance to foreign sailors in distress.
For Tehran, the Americans swift
release was a way to neutralize a
potential new flashpoint days before

it was expected to meet the terms of

last summers nuclear deal, which will
give Iran significant relief from
painful economic sanctions.
It is likely that Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the
final say on all matters of state, would
have had to approve the release, given
the immense political sensitivities.
But the rapid resolution also was a
victory for moderate President Hassan
Rouhani, who has promoted greater
openness with the outside world
despite strident opposition from
deeply entrenched hard-liners at home.

WASHINGTON For diplomats from countries without

diplomatic relations, Secretary of State John Kerry and
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif sure are
doing a lot of diplomacy.
As Iran races to satisfy the terms of last summers nuclear
deal and the U.S. prepares to suspend sanctions on Tehran
as early as Friday, Kerry is talking to Zarif more than any
other foreign leader. Those talks included several emergency calls Tuesday to secure the release of 10 U.S. sailors
after Iran detained them in the Persian Gulf.
Since the beginning of the year, Kerry and Zarif have spoken by phone at least 11 times, according to the State
Department. Theyve focused on nuclear matters, Irans
worsening rivalry with Saudi Arabia and peace efforts in
Syria.
By contrast, Americas top diplomat has talked to Saudi
Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir only twice. He has consulted once each with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Salman, Jordans King Abdullah and the foreign ministers of Britain, Egypt, France, Germany, Russia and the
European Union.
Kerry is departing Wednesday evening to meet al-Jubeir
in London. He may extend the trip to see Zarif, too, elsewhere in Europe.
Not everyone is happy with the new friendship between
the once hostile foes. But the White House, Pentagon,
Kerry and Zarif are all crediting the relationship forged over
two-and-a-half years of nuclear negotiations with quickly
resolving the detention of the sailors, which could have
been a new crisis just as President Barack Obama delivered
his final State of the Union speech to Congress.
We can all imagine how a similar situation might have
played out three or four years ago, and the fact that today
this kind of issue can be resolved peacefully and efficiently
is a testament to the critical role diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure and strong, Kerry said
Wednesday.

Intuitive Surgical Inc., up $3.02 to $545.14
The robotic surgery device maker gave a preliminary fourth-quarter

The dismal start to 2016 on Wall

Street got a lot worse Wednesday.
Stocks tumbled again on fears of a
global slowdown and alarm over plummeting oil prices, officially sending
the Standard & Poors 500 index into
whats known as a correction, or a drop
of 10 percent or more from its peak.
The Dow Jones industrial average also
slumped, losing more than 300 points.
The drop over the first eight trading
days of 2016 represents the worst start
to a year in the history of both the S&P
500 and the Dow.
At the very core of this, theres a
bull-bear debate, said Quincy Krosby,
market strategist at Prudential
Financial. The question, she said, is
whether the economy is strong enough
to justify how high stock prices are.
The rocky start to the year reflects
mounting worries on Wall Street about
the slowdown in China, the worlds second-biggest economy; a plunge in oil
prices to the lowest level in 12 years;
and the implications for U.S. corporations, especially energy companies.
The S&P 500, which is the most
closely watched gauge of the broader
market and reached a record high in
May, is now down 7.5 percent this year,
while the Dow is off 7.3 percent.
The Nasdaq is deeper in the red, down
9.6 percent. The Russell 2000, which is

made up of small-company stocks, is

down 20 percent from its June peak.
That big a plunge is defined as a bear
market.
Energy and consumer stocks bore the
brunt of the selling. The price of U.S.
crude oil closed slightly higher, but
remains near $30 a barrel, a level that
investors fear could force many oil and
gas companies to go bankrupt. Brent
crude, the international standard, fell 2
percent.
Some of the biggest winners from
last year, such as Netflix and Amazon,
both of which doubled in value in 2015,
also fell sharply.
The momentum names that drove
this market higher have just been clobbered, Krosby said.
All told, the Dow lost 364.81 points,
or 2.2 percent, to 16,151.41. The S&P
500 fell 48.40 points, or 2.5 percent,
to 1,890.28. It was the worst day for
the index since Sept. 28.
The Nasdaq slid 159.85 points, or 3.4
percent, to 4,526.06.
Biotechnology stocks took a drubbing. The Nasdaq Biotechnology index
lost 5.3 percent and is down 17.2 percent this year.
The market recorded its best day of
the year on Tuesday and appeared to be
headed for more gains early on
Wednesday. But then a report showed
that demand for fuels slipped last
month.

China turmoil batters faith in

Beijings management skills
By Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Stock market and currency turmoil has battered Chinese

leaders reputation as shrewd economic managers and fed doubts about their
willingness to push through more
wrenching reforms.
In the stock market, a circuit breaker to suspend trading in the event of
wide price swings backfired and fueled
steeper falls. It was withdrawn after
just four days. That followed complaints curbs on stock sales and other
emergency measures imposed to stop
last years market plunge were clumsy
and fueled investor panic.
In currency markets, Beijing has
struggled to squelch expectations it
plans to devalue the yuan. That has
forced the government to spend tens
of billions of dollars to defend the
exchange rate.
Such volatility is common in developing countries, but Chinas status as

the worlds second-largest economy

and biggest trader mean missteps
cause global shockwaves. And the latest turmoil has a political tinge
because it comes as Beijing is promoting a bigger role for itself as a regional military power and in managing
international trade and finance.
The Communist Party under
President Xi Jinping wants the prosperity that comes from free-market
competition and has promised entrepreneurs a bigger role in the statedominated economy. But when stock
prices plunged last June, the party
reached back to the era of central planning for the sledgehammer of direct
government control. It banned sales
by large shareholders and ordered state
companies to buy.
Forecasters who expect China to
keep growing at a healthy rate pinned
that expectation on a belief that market forces will be given greater play,
said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist for Capital Economics. If the
government cannot bring itself to

allow market forces to be felt in

China, then the outlook is a lot grimmer.
The party has won praise for making
it easier to start and run a private business. But it has yet to act on what the
World Bank and other reform advocates say is the most pressing issue:
Cutting monopolies and other privileges of state companies that control
industries from banking to energy to
telecoms and are a drag on Chinas
steadily slowing economic growth.
That reflects the intense political
forces opposed to reducing the states
role in the economy, especially from
the partys own factions that see a
threat to the flow of money and other
resources they can extract from government industries.
Beijings moves on stocks and currency are indicative of tension
between the leaderships desire for
market-oriented reform and the apparent fundamental objective of control,
said Louis Kuijs of Oxford Economics
in a report.

General Electric to move headquarters to Boston

By Susan Haigh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. General

Electric announced Wednesday it will
move its headquarters to Boston, leaving
the
sprawling
suburban
Connecticut campus it has called home
over the past four decades for a technology-rich city it says better fits its
ambitions as an innovation leader.
Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt said
GE, one of the best known companies
in corporate America, wanted to be at
the center of an ecosystem that shares
our aspirations.
The announcement comes three
years after the $130 billion high-tech
global industrial company said it
began considering a new composition
and location for its headquarters, and
more than seven months after the firm
threatened to leave Connecticut, com-

plaining about the states tax environment.

GE plans to initially move headquarters employees to a temporary location in Boston, starting in the summer
of 2016. The full move is expected to
be completed in several steps by
2018.
The announcement was mourned in
Connecticut, but Massachusetts officials rejoiced.
We won Powerball today here in
Boston by having GE come here,
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said. For
two decades, weve had companies
move out of our city. Now we have
companies moving into our city.
Various states competed for the companys headquarters in Fairfield. GE,
which ultimately reviewed a list of 40
potential locations, announced in June
it was considering a move after
Connecticut lawmakers passed some

business tax increases. The General

Assembly later scaled back some of
the increases after other companies
voiced concerns, including Aetna Inc.
and the Travelers Companies Inc.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy,
a Democrat, also met with GE executives and offered an incentive package
in hopes of keeping the iconic headquarters in the state.
Malloy acknowledged being disappointed in GEs decision and said he
knows many in Connecticut share that
disappointment and frustration. While
Malloy said he was assured by Immelt
in a phone call Wednesday morning
that GE will keep many workers in
Connecticut and continue working
with various suppliers in the state, the
headquarters relocation is a signal
Connecticut must continue trying to
adapt to a changing business climate
and attract and retain more employers.

GoPro cutting about 100 jobs after weak 4Q sales
NEW YORK Wearable camera maker GoPro says it will
eliminate about 100 jobs after its fourth-quarter sales fell
far short of its expectations.
GoPro says fourth-quarter revenue was $435 million
instead of the $500 million to $550 million it forecast in
October. The company lowered the price of its new Hero4
Session camera after saying it made the product too expensive, which reduced its fourth-quarter revenue by $21 million.
FactSet says analysts expected GoPro to report $521.2
million in revenue.
The San Mateo company had around 1,500 employees at
the end of 2015 after hiring more than 500 people that
year. It is cutting 7 percent of its jobs, or around 100 positions.
GoPros products are popular with extreme sports enthusiasts, but it faces competition from smartphones and
other wearable gear.
It was already predicting a drop in sales compared to last
year because it didnt launch a new product in the fourth
quarter. The new forecast means revenue dropped about 31
percent from the fourth quarter of 2014.
GoPro shares closed at $14.61 on Wednesday, down 71
percent over the past 12 months. The stock skidded 22 percent to $11.40 in aftermarket trading.

Cable news network Al

Jazeera America to shut down
PASADENA The Al Jazeera America cable news network said Wednesday it will shut down two and a half years
after its launch, a victim of a rough business environment
and political headwinds it could not conquer.
The channel, an offshoot of the Qatar-based Al Jazeera
cable network, had trouble persuading cable and satellite
companies to carry it, and viewers to watch. It failed
despite a promise to offer serious-minded journalism and
some award-winning work.
The cable network will shut down on April 30. It
launched in October 2013.
Al Anstey, CEO of Al Jazeera America, said the economic
climate for media forced the decision. Al Jazeera America
is committed to conducting this process in a way that is
consistent with its respect for colleagues, Anstey said.
Al Jazeera will expand its international digital news
operations so they will be available in the United States,
Anstey said, adding that details will be available in the
next few months.

Chanting can
get out of hand

The Hillsdale boys basketball team

opened Peninsula Athletic League South
Division with a pair of losses last week.
Facing title contender Burlingame on the
road Wednesday, the Knights were staring at
an 0-3 start.
That is until Hillsdales Taiga Schwarz
took the oor and did his best Steph Curry
impersonation. The senior shooting guard
scored 31 points to help lead the Knights to
a huge 55-49 upset win over the Panthers.
It was one of the best displays of basketball Ive seen, said Hillsdale coach Brett
Stevenson on Schwarzs performance.
Schwarz was a one-man show in the rst
half. He scored 28 of his 31 in the rst two
quarters, draining eight of his nine 3-pointers in the rst 16 minutes of the game.
Schwarz opened the game by hitting the
rst four baskets for Hillsdale (1-2 PAL
South, 7-7 overall) all on 3-pointers. He
nished the opening quarter with 15 points
as the Knights led 19-13 after one period.
And Schwarz didnt cool off in the second
quarter, either, scoring 13 more. All told,
Schwarz scored 28 of his teams 37 rst-half
points and his scoring total for the rst two
quarters was more than entire Burlingame
roster scored 26.
Even before the game, I feel when my
shot is falling, like during warmups,
Schwarz said. I felt (I would be hot) when I
woke up (Wednesday morning).
Schwarz nished the rst half shooting 8
of 11 from behind the arc.
In the second half, Schwarz came back to
Earth, attempting only two shots and draining his ninth 3 to open the fourth quarter.
But thats when his teammates stepped
up. David Lopez scored all eight of his
points in the second half, but none was bigger than the corner 3 he drained to give
Hillsdale a 50-47 lead with 1:51 to play.
It was Schwarz who fed Lopez the pass
because when Schwarz had the ball in his
hands, two Burlingame defenders ran at him,

ou thought the Central Coast

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletics

chants when an
opposing basketball

more score-board!
chants when a team
is leading by a big

chant of air-ball! is subject to the WIAA
crackdown.
When I told Peninsula Athletic League
commissioner Terry Stogner about the
Wisconsin story, he just kind of chuckled,
before asking rhetorically, Where are we
going?
I find it funny that Wisconsin is ahead
of California on that, political correctness, Stogner said.
The PAL falls under the umbrella of
CCS, which has an entire section on its
website addressing sportsmanship, along
with fan behavior. Member schools of
CCS, of which the PAL is part, can implement even more stringent rules regarding
their athletic programs.
Stogner believes the answer to keeping
student sections in check and invariably that is from where these chants
emanate is constant monitoring. I
know many schools in the PAL assign a
cadre of monitors at basketball and football games, specifically, to keep fans in
check. Many even station a monitor right
at the foot of the bleacher section where
the student fans are seated, a constant

San Diego mayor hopes for fresh start with Chargers

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Mayor Kevin Faulconer

left a message for Chargers chairman Dean
Spanos on Wednesday, inviting him back to
the negotiating table.
Spanos was still traveling back from
Houston, where on Tuesday night he suffered a stinging defeat while still being
granted the chance to leave San Diego for
Los Angeles.
I indicated Im looking forward to the

opportunity to get together and discuss

things positively and collaboratively,
Faulconer said at a news conference at City
Hall, where he was joined by County
Commissioner Ron Roberts and City
Attorney Jan Goldsmith.
Faulconer said the NFLs rejection of the
Chargers plans to build a stadium in Carson
with the Oakland Raiders gives both sides
the opportunity for a fresh start in what has
been a bruising saga in San Diego that has
damaged the teams relationship with what
had been a loyal fan base.

But its up to Spanos to decide if he wants

to restart talks in San Diego with an extra
$100 million from the NFL to go toward a
replacement for aging Qualcomm Stadium,
or come to an agreement with Stan Kroenke
to join the St. Louis Rams in Inglewood.
NFL owners voted 30-2 to allow Kroenke
to build a $1. 8 billion stadium in
Inglewood. The Rams are expected to play
in the Los Angeles Coliseum beginning in
the fall.
Spanos appeared stunned at a news conference in Houston on Tuesday night.

The Chargers walked away from talks with

San Diego city and county leaders in June.
Mark Fabiani, the attorney who has led
the Chargers stadium effort on Spanos
behalf, declined to answer specific questions about San Diego on Wednesday.
I will just reiterate what Dean said last
night: The Chargers have been approved by
the NFL to relocate to Los Angeles, and now
that the NFL meetings are over Dean is
going to take a few days to evaluate the

Wisconsin stands by flagging fan-favorite taunts

By Greg Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE The Wisconsin high

school athletics association blew its whistle on fans unsportsmanlike taunts and
negative chants including air ball and
seasons over and directed administrators in an email last month to call fouls on
such jeers.
Weeks later, the associations executive
director has apologized to athletic directors
for the distractions from widespread ridicule
that followed the note, which he said
Wednesday was intended as a reminder of a
longstanding sportsmanship policy, not a
crackdown on enthusiasm.
The intention of the message was misconstrued and morphed into something far
beyond what it was and what it was intended
for, said Wisconsin Interscholastic
Athletics Associations David Anderson,
who added that he stands by the guidelines.
The issue came to a head this week after a
basketball player in northern Wisconsin
was suspended after she saw the memo and
responded with a profanity-laced tweet that
was critical of the WIAA. From there, sports

Judge Rules for NFL,
soccer league loses bid for fields
SAN JOSE A Northern California judge
has ruled against a youth soccer league that
wanted to boot the NFL from soccer fields
being used as the Super Bowl 50 media village.
San Jose TV station KNTV reports the Santa
Clara Youth Soccer League claimed the city
and the NFL will not make good on a promise
to find the youth league adequate fields to
replace the ones being used by the NFL.
NFL attorneys had argued that the fields are
the best location for the media and security,
and shifting locations would jeopardize security.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge
Joseph Huber issued the ruling Tuesday.
The San Jose Earthquakes on Monday
pledged to open two fields at Avaya Stadium to
the more than 1,000 youth soccer players displaced by the Super Bowl.

DA: Coach should be cited for

harassment in ref altercation
DOYLESTOWN, Pa A Pennsylvania
prosecutor says he recommends a harassment
citation for a suburban Philadelphia high
school coach who physically confronted a ref-

manship. His group works with sports-governing organizations in each state, which
he said all have policies that expect fans
and players to be positive.
Still, Whitefish Bay Athletic Director
John Gustavson said, the policy lives in a
world thats not the real world.
If a shot doesnt hit the goal, students yell
air ball three or four times, then we move
on, he said.
On Tuesday night, the Whitefish Bay student section had two opportunities to jeer at
visiting Milwaukee Morse Marshall over
shots that missed their mark. In the first
half, an errant attempt generated a few air
ball chants from a few students. In the second half, with about 5 seconds left in the
blowout win, no one said a word when a
Morse Marshall jumper failed to draw iron.
Whitefish Bay senior Will Alt said he
finds the guidelines unnecessary: I dont
think they should put restrictions on what
you can say at a basketball game.
Gustavson, meanwhile, said his school
doesnt have significant problems with fan
behavior and that the WIAA would be better
off focusing on comments that are racial,
hateful or demeaning.

The email included examples of unsporting

behavior, including common chants such as
you cant do that,fundamentals and scoreboard.
media outlets, pundits and fans began mocking the regulations as coddling and overprotective. Sports Illustrated wrote, The W
in WIAA technically stands for Wisconsin
but it should really stand for Whining.
The associations guidelines, which have
been in place for years, say spectators are
expected to participate only in cheers that
support and uplift the teams involved. The
email included examples of unsporting
behavior, including common chants such as
you cant do that, fundamentals, and
scoreboard.
While its tricky to evaluate specifics,
air ball is sort of borderline, said Dan
Gould, director of the Institute for the Study
of Youth Sports at Michigan State
University. However, he added, theyve
got to draw the line somewhere.
For what its worth, Anderson and WIAA
Communications Director Todd Clark
acknowledge that fans still shout negative

chants, including air ball. But they say

their guidelines are intentionally broad so
schools have an easier time identifying
behavior that can lead to fights and online
bullying.
Clark also noted TV coverage has increasingly focused on rowdy student sections at
big-time college programs, prompting
high schoolers to try to match the behavior.
This is education-based sports, were not
here for entertainment purposes, he said.
The association has never disciplined a
school for fan violations of Sportsmanship
Reference Guide policies, Clark said.
Penalties listed in the guide include team
probations and suspension from post-season play.
Bob Gardner, executive director of the
National Federation of State High School
Associations, said Wisconsins policy isnt
overly restrictive and fits in with his
groups universal emphasis on sports-

eree during a basketball game.

Bucks County District Attorney David
Heckler announced the decision Wednesday in
the case of Neshaminy High School coach
Jerry Devine.
Heckler said there was no attempt to cause
injury.
Devine was ejected after physically confronting a referee Jan. 5 after a foul call. He
was suspended from his coaching duties, but
was allowed to return to his teaching job this
week.
Prosecutors said the count is punishable by
a jail sentence of up to 90 days and a fine not
to exceed $300.

NFL return to L.A. buoys bid for 2024 Olympics

By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Heres an idea almost anyone in Olympic

circles would love: a $2 billion stadium
they dont have to pay for.
Leaders of the attempt to bring the 2024
Olympics to Los Angeles say theyre excited about the prospect of adding the soon-tobe-built stadium to a list of possible venues.
LA 2024 has the luxury of selecting the
best choices for the Olympic and
Paralympic Games, not building them from
scratch, the bids chairman, Casey
Wasserman, said in a statement. And the
new NFL stadium represents an opportunity
to add to the array of high-quality venues we
already have in our Games Plan.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke is handling the
financing, and no taxpayer money will be
used on the project, which is due for completion in 2019. A free stadium thats fully
built five years before the games is music to
the ears of people in the Olympic world,

franchises new options, Fabiani said in an
email.
Fabiani did not respond when asked if he
and Spanos had met with Kroenke on
Tuesday night to discuss a deal to be either a
partner or a tenant in Inglewood.
The Chargers must notify the NFL by
March whether they intend to move to Los
Angeles for the 2016 season.
The Chargers have been trying since
2002 to replace Qualcomm. The long-running stadium saga turned nasty in the last
year as Fabiani fiercely opposed
Faulconers proposals to keep the team.

where the mandate is to spend less public

money and build stadiums that wont sit
empty once the games end.
LA 2024s current proposal calls for $500
million in upgrades to the Los Angeles
Coliseum, which hosted track and opening
and closing ceremonies in 1932 and 1984
and is presently slated to do the same.
But theres a chance that ceremonies could
be held instead at the new stadium, 10 miles
away in Inglewood The new stadium will
probably not have a track, but other events
possibly gymnastics, basketball, soccer
or rugby could be held there.
Predictably, no specifics are coming from
bid leaders, and that speaks to the delicate
and ever-changing nature of the relationship between stadium projects and Olympic
bids.
New Yorks bid for the 2012 Games
tanked when the citys plans for a stadium
in Manhattan fell apart shortly before the
vote.
Tokyos 2020 Olympic plans have
been beset by issues over the cost of the

stadium; a plan that exceeded $2 billion has

been scaled back to $1.23 billion, with
construction still not underway.
Back in 2006, leaders of an attempt to
make San Francisco the American bidder for
the 2016 Games bailed out suddenly, upon
hearing news that plans for a stadium there
had cratered. Since then, a stadium in Santa
Clara has been built for the 49ers.
Not having an Olympic stadium is nonstarter No. 1, USOCs then-vice president
Bob Ctvrtlik said at the time.
That statement was as true then as it is
today.
But there are few doubts that the NFL and
Kroenke will deliver their project on or
before its 2019 deadline, and city and
Olympic officials are confident theyll create a partnership that will allow them to use
the stadium.
The addition of this stadium is one more
venue that we know will be complete and
world-class in L.A. well ahead of the 2024
Games, said Patrick Sandusky of the U.S.
Olympic Committee.

Faulconer and Roberts issued a statement

Tuesday night that had a bit of an edge to it,
saying they are not interested in a charade
by the Chargers if they continue to pursue
Los Angeles.
Faulconer had a little different outlook
Wednesday.
Today is an opportunity for a fresh
start, he said. I sincerely believe that we
can create both success for the Chargers
organization and the San Diego region if we
have a sincere commitment to work together, the city and Mr. Spanos.
Asked who had the leverage, Faulconer
replied: I dont think its about that at all. I
think its about an opportunity for a fresh
start. A lot happened this past year. But we
do have on the table a plan thats viable, if
we approach this in a spirit of openness and
cooperation.

Faulconer and Roberts indicated that it

could be difficult getting a measure on the
June ballot, and that the November ballot
seemed more realistic.
The leaders indicated they dont plan to
move off their offer of a $350 million public contribution toward a $1.1 billion stadium at the Qualcomm Stadium site. The citycounty proposal calls for the Chargers to
contribute $353 million with the NFL
adding another $200 million in a loan, plus
the $100 million in new money. Naming
rights could be credited toward the Chargers
portion.
Finances were never discussed during
three brief negotiating sessions between
the team and the city and county. Instead,
the Chargers raised concerns with a hastily
conducted environmental impact statement
they felt could get tied up in court.

Browns hire
Hue Jackson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND The Browns have hired

former Bengals offensive coordinator Hue
Jackson as their new coach, the teams
eighth since 1999.
Jackson brings head coaching experience, knowledge of the AFC North and a
knack for fixing quarterbacks to the
Browns, who fired Mike Pettine following a
3-13 season. The 50-year-old has spent the
past two seasons directing Cincinnatis
offense.
He coached Oakland in 2011, leading the
Raiders to an 8-8 record. Jackson waited for
his second chance as a head coach and hell
get it in Cleveland, where coaches and
quarterbacks have come and gone with
regularity for more than a decade.
After a second meeting with Browns
owner Jimmy Haslam, Jackson backed out
an interview scheduled for Thursday with the
New York Giants.
Faulconers top political strategist, Jason
Cabel Roe, has said that if the Chargers
resume negotiations, they need to come
without Fabiani because he has no credibility with elected officials.
However, Goldsmith said Wednesday he
could work with Fabiani.
The Chargers have indicated in the past
that theyd like a downtown stadium. But
Faulconer and Roberts said that option
would be more expensive and take longer.
Fabiani didnt answer a question about
whether the Chargers would try to get their
own initiative on the ballot.
Asked the odds of getting something
done, Faulconer said: Our chances of success when we work together are astronomically better.

reminder for them to behave appropriately.
If the fans start to get a little too rambunctious, monitors are there to tone down the
situation.
And while the PAL, and by extension the
West Catholic Athletic League and West Bay
Athletic League, do a good job of keeping
things under control, schools on the
Peninsula are not immune to events getting
a little out of hand.
Stogner said there have been a couple of
incidents in the recent past in which student
sections were taking things a little too far.
But those situations have been dealt with,
he said.
Weve had some ripples, which have
been addressed by that specific school,
Stogner said.
In Stogners mind, however, the main
sports are not the biggest problem. In his
11 years as PAL commissioner, he said the
biggest problems have occurred in boys
soccer. He said many athletic directors may
not understand the passion and emotion
players and fans pour into the sport.
He said soccer fields and even tennis
courts are the places athletic administrations should be more vigilant.
We dont have a league rules that says
schools have to be at certain [sporting
events], Stogner said. Boys soccer (has
the most problems). Its the one (sport)
with the most ejections, its the one with
the most vociferous crowds.
Stogner said the other concern is rowdy
student fans at girls events. He said a

school in the PAL was starting to draw a
nasty fan reputation during games for one
of their female athletic programs, but that
too has been dialed down.
What happens a lot of times is, you

Stogner said. When I was athletic director
(at Carlmont), I told [the student section],
Its about them (on the court), not about
you. Youre taking the focus away from
them.
No one ever said anything that crossed
the line. It just got uncomfortable. That
was stepped on.
The bottom line is this: remember folks,
its a game. Have a good time. Give the
other team and their fans a little grief. Its
all part of the game. But dont ride someone
mercilessly or make personal attacks
against opposing players. Thats below the
belt.
The good news is, no rule should affect
the I believe we will win! chant. Doesnt
get any more positive than that.

KNIGHTS

leaving Lopez wide open.
You put a lot of attention on Taiga, hes
going to nd a guy for a wide-open shot, said
Stevenson. If Taiga shoots the ball 15, 20
times, its a good night for us.
Using one of the quickest releases youll
see looking a lot like Golden States scoring machine Curry Schwarz needed only a
sliver of space to get his shot off. He hit his
rst three 3-pointers in row before misring
on his fourth attempt. You knew it was his
night when his 11th 3-point of the attempt
rattled around the rim and hung on the edge
before dropping through the net for his
eighth 3 of the half to put Hillsdale up 34-24
with 30 seconds to play in the second quarter.
Following a Vinnie Ferrari layup, Hillsdales
David Badet got into the long-distance shooting act, banking home a half-court heave at
the buzzer to put Hillsdale up 37-26 at the
break.
Despite Schwarzs eye-popping performance, it nearly went for naught. Burlingame

trailed by 11 at halftime, but clawed their way

back into the game in the second half.
The Panthers went to senior center Bassel
Mufarreh early and often in the third quarter,
and the big man responded with six unanswered points to cut the Hillsdale lead to 3732.
A step-back jumper from Hillsdales Ryan
Doherty and a 3 from Lopez pushed the
Knights lead to seven, 42-35, going into the
fourth.
Schwarz pushed the Knights lead back to
10, 45-35, when he drained his ninth 3 of the
game to open the nal period.
But Burlingame kept coming. The Panthers
hit 3 of 4 free throws, Ferrari converted a
layup, Michael Adams hit a 3-pointer and a
pair of buckets off drives from Ferrari, who
led Burlingame with 18 points, and Tyler
Garlitos tied the game at 47 with 2:25 to play.
It was the only tie of the game.
Hillsdale, however, answered back. Lopezs
corner 3 gave the lead back to the Knights for
good and they ended the game on an 8-2 run
over the nal 1:51 to ice the win.
We had a lot of motivation coming in,
Schwarz said. I guess we took our (rst two
league opponents) lightly. Every team in this
league can beat us if we dont play our best.

Cal faces QB questions

heading into 2016 season
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY For the first time

since his initial season as
California coach, Sonny Dykes will
go into spring practice looking for
a quarterback.
With three-year, record-breaking
starter Jared Goff heading off to the
NFL, the Golden
Bears will have
an open competition with four
can di dat es
vying for the
starting
role
when
spring
practice begins
in about two
Sonny Dykes months.
But with three
full years to build up the roster and
implement his system, Dykes
expects a much smoother transition
than the one the Bears endured during a one-win season in Goffs first
season as starter in 2013.
Well kind of toss the ball out
and see where it goes, Dykes said
Wednesday. Hopefully what will
happen is two of them will stand
out, or three of them will stand out
and well give them more reps.
Well divvy up the reps according to
who deserves them and how it plays

WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
They fouled Gallinari intentionally
and he made one of two free throws,
but Thompson missed a long
jumper at the buzzer.
The Warriors, who trailed by as
many as 10 earlier, pulled to 55-54
at halftime on Barnes jumper in the
final seconds of the second quarter.
Gallinari had 15 points in the
first half, including a reverse layup
that preceded Barnes final shot in
the second quarter to keep the
Nuggets on top at the break.

Tip-ins
Warri o rs : F Draymond Green
was not available because of a

out. If one guy takes the lead, well

invest some more reps and see how
he plays. All of that stuff really
depends on the play of the quarterbacks.
The four quarterbacks in the mix
for the starting job are last years
backup Chase Forrest, 2014 second-stringer Luke Rubenzer, who
played safety last season, Ross
Bowers, who sat out as a freshman
last year, and early enrollee freshman Max Gilliam.
Forest threw 18 passes last season as a freshman, while Rubenzer
threw 21 passes and ran 52 times
the previous season when he came
in to spot Goff with his running
ability.
With three of the four quarterbacks having experience in the system, Dykes expects a cleaner competition than the one Goff won as
an early enrollee freshman in 2013.
But Goff will leave a big void. He
holds school records for yards passing (12,200), completions (977)
and touchdown passes (96). He
improved every season and finished
this past year with career highs of
4,719 yards passing, 43 touchdown
passes, 64.5 percent completion
rate and a 161.3 passer rating.
Depending on who wins the job,
the Bear Raid offense might need
tinkering.
scheduled rest day. ... Curry hit a 3pointer in his 93rd consecutive road
game, extending his NBA record. ...
Leandro Barbosa returned from a
shoulder injury, seeing his first
game action since Christmas. ...
Barnes scored in double figures for a
third straight game.
Nug g ets : F J.J. Hickson was
sidelined after undergoing a root
canal earlier in the day. ... Denver
added depth at guard by signing
Sean Kilpatrick to a 10-day contract.

Make sure food from

your garden is safe
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gardening delivers produce that

is tastier, cheaper and safer than
store-bought, right? Well, not
necessarily safer.
Theres always the potential
from contamination, whether you
grow your own food or buy it at the
market, said Marisa Bunning, an
extension food safety specialist at
Colorado State University.
You know more about (food
safety) and have more control over
it with a home garden, but animals
have more access to your yard than
with specialty crops grown on
farms, she said. Not only
wildlife, but pets.
Most food-borne illnesses are
infections caused by bacteria,
viruses and parasites, according
to the Minnesota Department of
Health. Theres also a danger from
toxins or chemical contaminants.
Many food-borne pathogens
also can be acquired through recreational or drinking water, through
contact with animals or their
environment, or through personto-person spread, the agency
says.
E. coli and salmonella are the
most frequently reported foodborne illnesses.
Symptoms

include diarrhea and vomiting,

abdominal cramps, fever and joint
pain. Severity depends upon an
individuals health, but children
and the elderly comprise the highest risk groups, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Food safety specialists recommend guarding against contamination from field to fork. That means
minimizing hazards in the garden
and being careful when handling
food in the kitchen.

Some guidelines:
Choose the right garden location, especially in cities,
Bunning said. Avoid areas near
septic tanks or runoff and aerosols
from contaminated irrigation systems, she said. Septic tanks or
reservoirs could be leaking.
Use only potable water for
your produce. Groundwater from
wells (the deeper the better) is
generally safer than water from
streams or ponds. Drip systems
are better than sprinklers for
avoiding direct water contact with
edibles like leafy greens growing
above the soil.
Manage manure and compost
properly. Age it from 2 to 4
months so beneficial bacteria can
kill out the harmful types. Mix

Food safety specialists recommend guarding against contamination from field to fork. That means minimizing
hazards in the garden and being careful when handling food in the kitchen.
compost frequently, and ensure
that it reaches temperatures of 140
degrees or more for prolonged
periods to reduce or eliminate E.
coli contamination.
Food safety isnt on the radar
screen in many cases for home
gardeners, said Kurt Nolte, an
agriculture agent with the School
of Plant Sciences at the University

of Arizona. Many gardeners,

including myself, just dont have
(compost) temperature probes that
go that high.
Clean tools and yourself after
gardening. Keep pets out of the
garden, use a high-quality water
source, ensure that people in the
garden are not sick, and that
theres no human waste on your

hands or person, Nolte said.

Wash all fruit and vegetables
before eating them, especially if
serving them raw. Washing
removes dirt and bacteria as well
as residual pesticides. Cooking
kills many pathogens, and
promptly refrigerating leftovers
will slow the growth of harmful
bacteria.

with concurrent contest-worthy conditions
late enough in the game that it could butt
against the open window period, which officially closes March 31.
Many are hopeful for a supercharged season courtesy of El Nio, but that same
momentum caused by the warmer storm system also exacerbates how quickly the weather can flip, said Brian Overfelt, event relations and head of photography.
The ocean and the winds and these swells
in these El Nio years are extremely
volatile, so it can change on a dime,
Overfelt said, noting failing to call a contest when the elements align could be perceived as worse than hosting one in unfavorable conditions. Its hard to call a contest and whats sad, is nobody wants to
understand why.
Sponsler and Overfelt noted even when a
favorable future swell seems to be just days
away, it can peter out or appear with a downpour by the time it arrives in Half Moon
Bay.
Although towering 50- to 60-foot waves
were reported at the renowned surf break just
north of Pillar Point Harbor last week, poor
wind conditions prompted officials to hold
off on sounding the alarm the 24 competitors are typically given just 48 hours
notice.
Even pro Garrett McNamara, who holds a
world record for largest tow-in wave ever
surfed, suffered the unforgiving force of

ICELAND
Continued from page 1
Belmont Mayor Eric Reed said he was disappointed to find out the rink was closing
and anticipates others in the community
will be so as well. In brainstorming ways to
keep recreational amenities within the
county, Reed questioned whether the
Bridgepointe funds could be used to help
retain the Belmont ice rink.
Were slated to lose two ice rinks, this
would allow us to keep at least one of those
open, Reed said. Im really intrigued by
the idea. The Peninsula is fully developed,
where else are you going to find land to
build an ice rink in San Mateo County? How
many more opportunities are there?
The San Mateo City Council will ultimately decide whether to accept SPIs $3
million offer and is tentatively scheduled to
review the developers proposal in March.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Mavericks Thursday, Jan. 7, by taking a

tumble and breaking an arm. In years past,
other legends like Hawaiis Mark Foo and
Sion Milosky died at the perilous surf
break.
There were also rumors of bystanders
being injured while out on a boat at
Mavericks last Thursday and officials question whether its safe to hold a contest during unfavorable conditions.
Everyone knew it was going to be giant,
but it was also pretty well known it was
going to be unruly, Sponsler said of last
weeks set. Its not to say that directly contributed to Garretts accident, but it didnt
help the situation. It increased the odds.
Yet its these powerful towering waves
that attract adrenaline seekers many with
an undeniable bravado and seemingly
intrepid attitude toward danger to conquer
Mavericks and seek a title at the Titans competition.
This year, a $120,000 purse is offered to
the top contenders. New prizes also include
the $10,000 Peets Coffee Boldest Drop
award; the $5,000 Clif Bar Best Barrel
Award; and the Sion Milosky Memorial
Award, which is presented to the competitor
who displays profound character in and out
of the water. In memory of the belated Foo,
Milosky and Santa Cruz native Jay
Moriarty, Cartel has also established a
Titans Fallen Fund that would be presented
to the families of competitors, according to
Cartels website.
Although the public wont have a festival
to attend this year, Cartel is partnering with
premier videographers and offering broadcasting rights to local establishments that
will host fans.

Viewing parties will be held in Half Moon

Bay at the Old Princeton Landing, Half
Moon Bay Brewing Company and
Camerons Restaurant. In San Francisco,
fans are encouraged to visit Wipeout Bar and
Petes Tavern; and in Santa Cruz parties will
be hosted at Pleasure Pizza East Side Eatery
as well as the Reef Bar and Pono Hawaiian
Grill, said Cartels Chief Operations Officer
Brian Waters.
Were doing a top-of-the-line broadcast
so every person in the whole world can
watch this on the Internet, Overfelt said.
Cartel is continuing to make new additions to the local contest and is considering
ways to bring back a revamped viewing festival an event that began once the beaches and bluff tops were closed off to the public after the 2010 contest.
This year, Cartel has promised larger audiences via TV and Internet broadcasts that
will culminate with an awards ceremony
held at Its Italia restaurant in Half Moon
Bay.
Were excited to bring forward a production yet seen or experienced by the fans.
Our central goal for us as weve developed
Titans of Mavericks was to ensure fans get
access to these great athletes in ways yet
seen in surf, Cartel CEO Griffin Guess
wrote in an email, adding an element of surprise saying more will be unveiled as the
event proceeds.
But before Cartel and the 24 invited competitors are able to astonish fans by riding
the perilous giants, the elements must
align.
Last weeks El Nio-pumped swell didnt
coincide with favorable weather and organizers are seeking towering 40-foot waves

sometimes referred to as a 20-footers by

those who use the Hawaiian standard of
measuring from the back of a wave instead
of the face.
You know the old line, only fools and
tourists try to predict the weather,
Overfelt said, noting theyre working
closely with Sponsler to ensure a they dont
miss an opportunity while hoping El Nio
will supercharge what would normally be a
less active swell during clearer weather.
Were hovering over this as a group with
Mark to try and run the event before January
is over. Who wants to be sitting around
in March going come on man, please?
Sponsler said the storm systems have
arrived so close to one another that it has
created a washing machine effect further
west and it could take days to settle down.
As far as he can tell, the end of January
should be productive before the current system dies down in February then hopefully
picks back up in March.
Sponsler said hes on constant lookout
for how El Nio is affecting the forecasts
that can change by the minute and ultimately they need big waves during daytime hours
with minimal winds and a low tide a tall
order worthy of a Titan.
Were keeping a close eye on it, but basically were looking at everything and anything, Sponsler said. In the prediction

But that also means at any moment we could

routinely shot down the suggestion to

demolish the rink, an integral component
of the sites Master Plan thats been credited
with allowing the center to be redeveloped.
The controversial proposal has coalesced
a group of parents and skaters, known as the
Save Our San Mateo Rink, that are seeking
to preserve the integrity of the Master Plan
and reopen the Bridgepointe facility.
SPI allegedly opted not to renew its contract with the former operator of the
Bridgepointe rink, who reportedly wanted
to stay, and has claimed it could make more
money if it were allowed to construct retail
in its place.
Over time, Belmont Iceland along with
Nazareth Ice Oasis in Redwood City reportedly saw more skaters whod previously
used the now shuttered Bridgepointe rink.
Beecher agreed he noticed an increase at
the Belmont site after the San Mateo locale
closed. Now, Belmont Iceland is used by
more than 600 skaters registered in classes,
youth hockey players ages 4 to 10, various
hockey leagues and offers an excellent freestyle skating program as well as near daily

public skating hours, he said.

Officials with the parent company East
Bay Ice reassured their Belmont employees
its nothing that we did, Beecher said.
Adding he thought we were doing OK but
were in a very old building with very old
systems.
According to East Bay Icelands letter,
time has taken a toll on the nearly 60-yearold facility. In 2013 alone, the company
invested more than $300,000 on maintenance. Now, it is faced with another investment exceeding $1 million to replace the
floor, upgrade the refrigeration plant, dehumidify the building and reinforce as well as
protect the inside wooden structure of the
roof, according to East Bay Icelands letter.
At this point, it is no longer sustainable
to continue the operation and we are sad and
disappointed to have to close the facility,
according to the letter. We want to thank
all that have been part of this long history
and supported our efforts to make Belmont
Iceland a safe and enjoyable recreation
venue.
Once Belmont closes, the parent compa-

ny will only have Dublin Iceland left, as it

previously had to close Berkeley Iceland in
2009, Beecher said.
Foster City resident Kimberley Cane said
she started skating when she was 11 years
old and recently picked it back up as an adult
for a means to remain healthy and active.
With Bridgepointe closed, Cane said losing
Belmont Iceland is that much harder.
There are a lot of adults who are skating,
its not just kids, Cane said. Its an activity that can be done morning, noon or
night; rain or shine. And to lose a second
rink in the area in such a short time is just a
devastating loss. It really just makes the
efforts to keep Bridgepointe that more
important.

Ideas, products for a primp-perfect bathroom

By Kim Cook

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

What makes a great bathroom, one perfect for prepping and primping?
A well-considered combination of fixtures, lighting and amenities the kind we
often first experience in a really nice hotel.
Bathrooms are the most private parts of
our homes. Theyre also the most private
parts of hotels, our homes away from
home, says Los Angeles author Anneli
Rufus, who has written travel books among
others. Its the sense of a space thats
exclusively ours thats appealing, she
says, enhanced by fittings and fluffy towels.
We often want to recreate that luxuryhotel experience when we return home,
says Paul Flowers, chief design officer for
Lixil, the Tokyo-based parent company of
higher-end, bath-product brands like DXV
and Grohe. The bathroom, he says, is
moving from a rational space for cleaning
and grooming into an emotional space for
relaxation and contemplation.
Some ways to bring the hotel-style bathroom home:

LIGHT THE WAY

Flicking on that hotel bathroom light
switch is often where the magic begins:
Complexions look healthier, skin
smoother.
Typically, the best type of lighting is
layered, because it addresses the bathrooms different lighting needs, says interior designer Jessica Shankman of Laurel &
Wolf in West Hollywood, California.
I always recommend installing a dimmer
to control the light output and create a different atmosphere in the room, she says.
That might mean bright lights when you
get dressed, for instance, and soft lighting
while you soak in the tub.
For makeup application, task lightings
your best friend, she says: I suggest
mounting wall sconces on either side of the
mirror to provide shadow-free lighting on
the face.
LED lighting has had a big impact on
bath design. Old-school vanity lighting
often involved harsh fluorescents or intrusive marquee lights. Now, the lighting can
be embedded in the mirror itself, and the

reflection can be warm and flattering.
Duravits L-Cube mirror, for instance, is a
frame of LED light that can be dimmed with
a touch of the hand. (www.duravit.us)
LEDs have also given product designers
new places to put lighting, such as under
toilet seat rims and around the perimeters of
spa tubs.
In some cases, the lights change color,
so the mood of the room can be adjusted, to
provide a soothing blue, say, or a zesty
yellow/orange glow. (www.paulmann.com

Sheila Schmitz, editor at the homes website Houzz.com, sees a trend toward treating the bathroom as more of a living
room.
Our users love it when they see a bathroom warmed up with vintage and furniturelike details, she says. Console tables,
comfortable chairs, and new or repurposed
dressers make a bathroom feel more like a
living space than just a place to wash up.

MILLBRAE

the environmental impact report, Lee

felt many of the questions he had about
the document were left unanswered, and
voted against the approval.
The EIR is not complete, he said.

Papans vision, citing the difference in

character between the communities of
San Francisco and Millbrae.
I dont know how we would compare
ourselves to San Francisco, she said.

ing Tuesday, Jan. 12, to grant

approval of the environmental impact
report for development on the 116acre area near the citys Bay Area Rapid
Transit and Caltrain station.
But after more than four hours of passionate and occasionally heated debate
during a meeting which lasted into the
early hours of the next day, officials
elected to postpone granting approval
to the Millbrae Station Area Specific
Plan, the document intended to essentially serve as the master plan for the
future of the area near the intersection
of Millbrae Avenue and El Camino
Real.
Officials are hopeful the proposed
regulations will work in sync toward
the revitalization of Millbrae, and
help build the economic base of the
city by encouraging mixed-use transitoriented development built around the
train station, shared by two main
regional public transportation agencies.
Yet, despite the years of public planing which went into the formulation of
the comprehensive documents, Papan
said she felt the process was being ushered toward approval too quickly and
urged the council to give the policies
further consideration before granting
consent.
During one of the contentious
moments which periodically marred
the meeting, after hours of intense
considerations, a visibly irritated
Papan directed her ire at Mayor Anne
Oliva.
You are rushing this through, she
said. This is a 25-year plan, and there
are more things to go over and I have
reached my limit. Im done.
Rather than take a vote on the station area specific plan, the council
agreed to table the discussion until
Community Development Director
Christine di Iorio could return to the
council with more detailed answers to a
wide variety of questions she was
asked, primarily by Papan and Lee.
Though the council was able to pass

Future developments

Economic viability

Two developers have expressed

interest in building projects in the
boundaries of the 116-acre site, but
must first wait for officials to approve
the environmental impact report and
station area specific plan before submitting formal plans.
Property owner Vincent Muzzi has
expressed interest in redeveloping his
land at 150 Serra Ave. into a mixed-use
residential project comprised of
267,000 square feet of office space,
32,000 feet of retail space and 500
high- to medium-density residential
units.
Republic Urban Properties, of San
Jose, has been hired by BART to build
more than 300 residential units, as
well as 164,000 square feet of office
space, nearly 47,000 square feet for
retail, and potentially an extendedstay hotel on land near the station
owned by the rail company.
In a separate project, the same developer has also expressed interest in
constructing a 55-unit building which
would offer apartments at a below-market rate to Millbrae natives who are
veterans of the armed forces.
Quentin Kopp, a former state senator
and San Mateo County judge, publicly
expressed his support for the Republic
Urban projects during the meeting.
This is an extraordinary project in
terms of what it confers on the
Peninsula, particularly Millbrae and
San Mateo County, said Kopp, who
also formerly served on the California
High-Speed Rail Authority Board of
Directors.
Should high-speed rail tracks be
built through the Bay Area, the
Millbrae train station has been identified as one of the expected stops.
Due to the potential confluence of
rail agencies at the Millbrae station,
Papan has said she would like to pursue
development of a project similar to the
Transbay Transit Center which is under
construction in San Francisco.
Oliva though took issue with

Papan and Lee have expressed a

desire to encourage development of
retail space near the rail station, to
make the city a more lucrative destination for shoppers throughout the Bay
Area.
Those sentiments were appreciated
by former Millbrae mayor Dan Quigg,
who said he would like officials to
seize the opportunity to shore up the
economic health of the city.
We need viable, revenue generating
development, he said. Housing and
office space, over the long term, offers
little in terms of revenue but will cost
the city significant amounts of
money.
The potential additional cost of hiring more public safety personnel,
improving infrastructure, amending
transportation routes and other issues
brought on by the influx of new residents expected to eventually live in
the proposed housing developments
was a primary concern identified by
Lee and Papan in their opposition of
the documents.
City staff is expected to return to
council in the coming weeks with the
answers to the questions asked by
council.
In other business during the meeting, the council unanimously
approved exposing short-term vacation rentals on websites such as
Airbnb and VRBO to the citys transient occupancy tax.
Due to a shortage of city staff available to monitor short-term rental
activity in Millbrae, under the
approval, operators of the websites
will be requested to impose the hotel
tax as part of its service fees to customers, and then pass that revenue
along to the city.
Officials aimed to get the regulations in place before the Super Bowl
comes to the Bay Area next month, in
an attempt to capitalize on the flood of
tourists expected to wash over the
region.

FLOOD

Francisco Bay Area Coastal Study, a

federal requirement to map flood risk
zones, said FEMAs Shilp Mulik, who
prepared the maps for Redwood City.
The maps will also help city officials to decide where best to build in
the future along the Bay.
With El Nio weather hitting the
region this winter, the maps show
which properties are most at risk of
flooding.
Even those who are not required to
purchase flood insurance may want to
consider it, Sims said.
Even a few inches of flooding can

lead to significant damage, she said,

adding it takes 30 days for flood
insurance to go into effect.
The Redwood City maps are part of a
broader effort to map the entire Bay,
Mulik said.
It has been 20 years since the
coastal study has been updated, she
said.
Its an effort to define what areas are
vulnerable to flooding.
All of the affected property owners
have been notified about the new
maps and are encouraged to come to
the open house.
The public can also weigh
in on the new maps until
they are finalized in 2017.
The maps are used to manage floodplains and to help
cities develop sound building ordinances. Mortgage
lenders use the maps to help
determine a propertys flood
risk and decide whether
flood insurance will be
required as a condition for a
loan. The insurance industry
uses them to determine premiums.
Those properties considered to be in a high-risk
area, called a Special Flood
Hazard Area, will likely be
subject to higher insurance
rates, according to FEMA.

hand to discuss the impacts of the new
map to property owners, she said.
The map is preliminary, however,
and is not expected to be finalized
until 2017, meaning property owners
will not have to purchase flood insurance, if required, until then, said
FEMA spokeswoman Mary Sims.
The new map is part of the San
