CALPERS SAYS ITS OVERALL PORTFOLIO GREW BY 16.2 PERCENT
LAST YEAR
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A long-awaited major redevelopment
around the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station
took a signicant step Tuesday night with
the City Councils unanimous approval of
an agreement to potentially make way for
two developers projects.
The two proposed mixed-use plans would
modify the 1998 Millbrae Station Area
Specific Plan and related Environmental
Impact Report, building on Sites One, Five
and Six of 13 sub areas in the plan. The city
will charge the developers $899,686 for
work on amendments to the plan, according
to a staff report, which Economic
Development Consultant Bill Kelly pre-
sented at a meeting last night. Kelly called
it probably one of the biggest projects the
city has worked on thus far.
This is very exciting for our city and the
community of Millbrae, Councilwoman
Marge Colapietro previously said. Its
been many years in the making and, unless
we take this step, we cannot move Millbrae
forward. Both developments have goals of
mixed-use, transit-oriented development
with great potential for increasing tax rev-
enues for our city operations.
Higher density housing, retail, restau-
rant, ofce, hotel and entertainment uses in
a mixed-use development have yet to mate-
rialize for the area which is the largest
multi-agency transportation center west of
the Mississippi River. Site One hasnt been
actively worked on since 2006.
Republic Urban Properties hopes to
develop Sites Five and Six of the current
plan, which are owned by BART. The BART-
selected developer has proposed a mixed-
use project containing ofces, multi-family

Belmont City Council approves public
poll to determine ballot box interest
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Belmont ofcials are moving toward asking residents for
a new tax to assist in funding $140 million in deferred
improvement projects for its streets, sewers, storm drains,
parks and civic buildings.
The City Council voted last night to begin evaluating the
possibility of a revenue measure to address costly mainte-
nance of its infrastructure.
I would say that the community has spoken loud and
clearly that theyre not happy with the infrastructure in
Belmont. One of the big problems that theres strong agree-
ment on, is that the roads are in very poor shape and the
community is not happy about that, Mayor Warren
Lieberman said. So what the council is beginning to do is

Senior residents of the affordable housing facility Lesley Towers apartments gather in an entryway after an informational
meeting concerning their rental rates.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Trying to keep low-income senior
housing affordable while at the same
time saving for infrastructure repairs is
a balance on which the 189 residents at
San Mateos Lesley Towers are teeter-
ing.
The apartments were constructed in
1963 with the help of a U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development loan, said Sarah
Lambert, executive director of the non-
prot property owner Lesley Senior
Communities. Now that the mortgage
is almost paid off, HUD is offering
another loan if residents participate in
the Senior Project Rental Assistance
Contract program that could end up
raising or lowering their rent as early
as June, Lambert said.
Residents gathered for an informa-
tional meeting Monday to hear about
potential changes to their rent prices
as a result of LSCs federal assistance
application.
Robert Mackey, 69, has been living
at Lesley Towers for more than four
years and believes his rent will
increase due to the HUD agreement.
Its a change that we werent
expecting all of a sudden were hit
with this. A lot of people are kind of
panicky, Mackey said.
Participating in HUDs program may
be the only way Lesley Towers will be
upgraded, Lambert said. LSC is hoping
to bring the building up to current seis-
mic safety guidelines, rid the building
of asbestos, upgrade the electrical and
plumbing system, x the roof, update
the re alarm and sprinkler system and
reinstate transportation services
among other things, Lambert said.
What we havent been able to do is
squirrel away enough money over the
years to make [infrastructure] repairs,
Lambert said. Theres a lot of things
Balancing affordable with upgrades
Senior residents could face increased rent for updated apartment building

A hearing-impaired San Mateo County
Realtor who claims he was offered smok-
ing detectors in place of assistive listen-
ing devices for a success seminar at the
Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City is suing
for violations of his rights.
In Todd Richs suit filed Monday in San
Mateo County Superior Court, his attorney
seeks damages from hotel umbrella compa-
ny Intercontinental Hotels of San
Francisco and Success Strategies Institute,
Inc. which held the seminar. Rich is seek-
ing no less than $30,000 compensation
along with any other punitive damages and
suits costs awarded.
Both the venue and event provider are
equally liable, said attorney Charles
Grasso.
On Sept. 11, 2013, Rich, a real estate
agent with 90 decibel hearing loss in both
ears, attended the Game Changer event
which was held by Tom Ferry-YourCoach,
the business name of the institute, at the
Crowne Plaza in Foster City. Several times
before the event, Rich emphasized his
need of an assistive listening device, the
suit stated.
Although Rich uses hearing aids for
everyday purposes, he requires hearing
devices when attending events like that at
a hotel.
The day of the seminar, Rich again asked
for listening accommodations and was
first told by a seminar liaison they were
not available and was then put in contact
with a hotel staff member who also could
not locate one, according to the suit.
The staff informed Rich they were get-
ting the equipment from a sister hotel and,
about halfway through the event, two lug-
gage-style boxes arrived. The staff mem-
ber asked Rich if he knew how to operate
the equipment inside which turned out to
be merely smoke alarms and other miscel-
laneous items, all of which were complete-
ly unrelated to the required assistive lis-
tening accommodations, the suit stated.
Rich left the event without having fully
heard or participated and was humiliated,
embarrassed and suffered emotional dis-
tress from the situation, Grasso said.
Grasso said the fact the hotel tried get-
ting the equipment from a different proper-
ty shows that it should be pretty common
as a way to accommodate the disabled.
Its not like he was asking for a lot. Not
like a special room or anything like that,
Grasso said.
The suit claims the seminar and hotel
group violated the civil rights act and the
California Disabled Persons Act, commit-
ted breach of contract and performed unfair
business practices.
Success Strategies Institute did not
return an inquiry for comment. Crowne
Plaza staff were unable to provide an
immediate response.
A case management conference will be
held April 11 .

Court refuses to
reopen oyster farm case
A federal appeals court has refused to
reconsider a decision that shutters a popular
Northern California oyster farm in the
Point Reyes National Seashore.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on
Tuesday said it wouldnt appoint a special
11-judge panel to reconsider the ruling of a
three-judge panel.
The three-judge panel ruled in September
that the federal government had legal
authority to deny Drakes Bay Oyster Co. a
new lease so the waters of the Drakes Estero
could be returned to wilderness.
The small oyster farms last remaining
legal option is to appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court. Alawyer for Drakes Bay did-
nt immediately return a phone call.

SACRAMENTO A committee led
by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg appointed one of the
Democrats closest friends to a
$128,000-a-year job on a board that
has long been criticized as a plum posi-
tion for termed-out lawmakers.
Sacramento attorney John Adkisson
was sworn in Tuesday to the
Unemployment Insurance Appeals
Board, which oversees unemployment
and disability disputes in the state.
Adkisson has been paid $300,000 a
year for two state government roles
since 2009: $150,000 as special coun-
sel to the Senate and Legislative
Counsel; and $150,000 as director of
the Senate Office of Oversight and
Outcomes, an ofce that was created at
Steinbergs urging.
Steinberg, who will be termed out of
office later this year, told The
Sacramento Bee in 2009 that his former
law school classmate was one of my
dearest friends.
They are, but that takes nothing
away from the fact that hes extremely
qualied, Steinberg
spokesman Mark
Hedlund said
Tuesday.
Adkissons law
practice since 1984
has had an emphasis
on employment law.
He has been a pro-
fessional arbitrator
and mediator, and he
owned and operated
a rm that produced and distributed
employment-training materials and
provided employee training.
He didnt just pluck me out of a group
of friends. This is the kind of work Ive
been doing all along, Adkisson said in
a telephone interview. Adkisson noted
he is taking a pay cut to ll the board
position, which is full-time even
though the board meets monthly.
The appointment, made last week by
the Senate Rules Committee, lls a
vacancy and will last for one year.
Adkisson said he has been doing con-
tract work for the Senate Rules
Committee for 20 years, since before
Steinberg was elected to the
Legislature.
Adkisson ran Steinbergs rst cam-
paign for Sacramento City Council in
1992.
Also serving on the five-member
Unemployment Insurance Appeals
Board are former Assemblyman
Michael Allen, former state Sen. Roy
Ashburn and Robert Dresser, the chair-
man. The board has one vacancy.
Gov. Jerry Brown tried to eliminate
what was then a seven-member board in
2011, when a spokesman said its
demise would be both a practical and
symbolic response to what was then a
$15.4 billion budget decit.
Anew version of the board lives on,
meeting once a month to grant or deny
unemployment insurance benefit

state Employment Development
Department and an administrative law
judge.

ings.

Senate leader taps dearest friend for $128K job

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A man who robbed a Redwood City
bank of $5,600 Friday told a teller that
he needed the money for his kidnapped
daughters ransom, according to prose-
cutors.
Douglas Mitchell Taylor, 55,
allegedly handed a note to the teller of
the Wells Fargo Bank on Broadway
just before 10 a.m. Jan. 10. The note
stated that they have his daughter
and he will never see her again unless
he pays them, said
District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
The teller gave
the man later identi-
ed as Taylor a bag
with $5,600 cash
and triggered the
silent alarm. When
the robber left the
bank, Redwood
City police were waiting for him out-
side.
Taylor gave his occupation as both
teacher and electrician and said he
could not nd a job and was living in
his RV, Wagstaffe said.
Prosecutors charged Taylor with one
count of felony bank robbery and he
pleaded not guilty. Taylor also asked
for a court-appointed attorney and
returns to court Jan. 27 for a prelimi-
nary hearing estimated to take an hour.
Judge Richard Livermore set bail at
$100,000 and Taylor remains in cus-
tody.

DA: Bank robber claimed money was for ransom
Neighbor, police dog help capture suspected burglar
An alert resident and a police dog helped capture a suspect-
ed burglar in Redwood City Monday afternoon, according to
police. At about 12:10 p.m., ofcers responded to a call from
a woman who said she had seen two male suspects entering
her neighbors backyard in the 600 block of Upton Street,
police said.
While on the phone with a police dispatcher, the witness
said the suspects had left the yard and were walking south on
Alameda de las Pulgas, police said. Responding ofcers spot-
ted the men near Alameda de las Pulgas and Wessex Way.
Both suspects ran, and ofcers quickly established a
perimeter and began a yard-to-yard search using a police K-9
unit. Roosevelt Elementary School, located at 2223 Vera
Ave., was briey placed on lockdown during the search,
police said.
One of the suspects later identied as Candelario
Banuelos Valdez, 18, of Redwood City was found hiding
under a backyard deck at a home in the 700 block of Windsor
Way, police said. The second suspect was not found.
Investigators believe that Valdez and the other suspect bur-
glarized a home in the 600 block of Upton Street, police said.
Valdez was taken to a hospital to be treated for a dog bite
before being transported to San Mateo County Jail. He was
booked for residential burglary, resisting arrest and an out-
standing misdemeanor warrant for violating his probation.
No one else was injured during the arrest.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call
Redwood City police Detective Dave Stahler at (650) 780-
7620.
County reports third flu death
San Mateo County reported a new u-related death Tuesday,
bringing the total to three.
The county also has eight u-related ICU hospitalizations.
The countys three deaths were all individuals under the age
of 65. Two had underlying medical conditions but one did not.
Two were also conrmed as H1N1 strains and information was
not yet available for the third.
The county Health System did not release any further infor-
mation about the patients age, gender or location.
The Bay Area as a whole has 18 conrmed u deaths with
cases reported in Sonoma, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin,
Contra Costa, San Francisco, Solano and Alameda counties.
Local health ofcials continue urging people to get vacci-
nated against the u. The current shot includes protection
against the H1N1 or so-called swine u strain which is con-
sidered more dangerous to young and middle-age adults than
other versions.

SACRAMENTO Californias
biggest public pension system
reported its biggest annual invest-
ment gains in a decade, thanks to
strong performances in its stock,
private equity and real estate portfo-
l i os.
The California Public Employees
Retirement System announced
Monday that its overall portfolio
grew by 16.2 percent last year.
The performance more than dou-
bled CalPERS official forecast of
7.5 percent and showed an improve-
ment over the 13.3 percent the pen-
sion fund earned in 2012, the
Sacramento Bee reported.
The $282 billion fund was mostly
boosted by a 25 percent increase in
stock prices.
The results were the best calendar-
year returns for the fund since 2003,
when it earned 23.3 percent.
Despite the gains, CalPERS is still
in a financial hole, largely the result
of huge losses incurred during the
2008 market crash. While it has
plenty of cash to pay its bills for the
foreseeable future, the pension fund
is facing a long-term shortfall of
over $100 billion, according to the
newspaper.
To funnel more money into the
system, the governing board of the
fund that provides benefits to about
1.7 million state and local govern-
ment workers will consider an
increase in contribution rates next
month.
But any rate hikes would be put off
until the fiscal year 2016-17, in
order to lessen the strain they would
put on government budgets.
Concern has been raised that the
contribution increases may be too
much for employers to bear,
CalPERS staff members said in a
report to the board last month.
Several municipalities say they are
being stretched thin by their
CalPERS bills. San Jose Mayor
Chuck Reed is trying to get an initia-
tive on the November ballot that
would give state and local govern-
ments the authority to reduce pen-
sion costs.

WASHINGTON A chastened Congress
is putting aside the crisis-driven budget bat-
tles of the past three years, embracing a
$1.1 trillion spending bill that restores or
smooths the sharpest edges of the automat-
ic cuts imposed as a result of its own dys-
function.
The huge election-year legislation pre-
serves the downward trajectory on govern-
ment spending demanded by Republicans.
Yet the bipartisan measure steaming
through Congress also preserves President
Barack Obamas health care overhaul and
stricter regulation of nancial markets
and deects the most signicant attempts
by Republicans to rewrite environmental
rules and force other changes.
Lawmakers hope the compromise will
show disgruntled voters before next falls
midterm election that Washington
especially its unpopular Congress can
perform its most basic function of respon-
sibly funding the government. The brava-
do that prompted tea party Republicans to
force a government shutdown in hopes of
derailing Obamacare is long gone,
replaced by an election-year desire to
focus attention on the administrations
troubled rollout of the health care law
instead of lurching from crisis to crisis.
The average American looking at this, it
looks pretty dysfunctional for the last cou-
ple of years, said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla.
We need to rack up some achievements
here not just for Republicans but for
incumbents in general and for the institu-
tion.
There could still be bumps in the road.
Congress needs to raise the governments
borrowing cap by the end of February or
early March, and its unclear how big of a
battle that will be.
As for the compromise spending bill, the
massive measure funds the operations of
virtually every federal agency, making cuts
and additions reecting the trade-offs of
divided government. While delivering relief
from painful budget cuts and caps known as
sequestration, it still imposes a 3 percent
cut on agency budgets relative to those
approved last year before automatic reduc-
tions lopped about $60 billion from them.
The measure doesnt contain in-your-face
victories for either side.
The primary achievement is that there is
an agreement in the rst place. Last years
collapse of the budget process was followed
by a 16-day government shutdown and
another brush with a disastrous default on
U.S. debt. After the shutdown and debt crisis
last fall, House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate
Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray,
D-Wash., struck an agreement to avoid a
repeat of the 5 percent cut applied to domes-
tic agencies last year and to prevent the
Pentagon from absorbing about $20 billion
in new cuts.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
decided Tuesday not to allow a lawsuit
to move forward in California that
accuses a foreign company of commit-
t i ng at roci t i es on forei gn soi l . The
decision could make it harder for for-
eign victims of foreign crime to seek
justice in American courts.
The high court on Tuesday used a unani-
mous judgment to refuse to allow sur-
vivors and victims of Argentinas dirty
war to sue in California the former
DaimlerChrysler Corp. of Stuttgart,
Germany, for alleged abuses in Argentina.
Victims who say they were kidnapped
and tortured by the Argentine government
in the late 1970s and relatives of those
who disappeared sued in state court, alleg-
ing Mercedes-Benz was complicit in the
killing, torture or kidnapping by the mil-
itary of unionized auto workers.
In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands were
killed, kidnapped or disappeared,
including trade unionists, left-wing polit-
ical activists, journalists and intellectu-
als in Argentina in what has become
known as the dirty war. The suit says the
kidnapping, detention and torture of these
plaintiffs were carried out by state securi-
ty forces acting under the direction of and
with material assistance from the
Mercedes-Benz plant in Gonzalez-Catan,
near Buenos Aires.
The lawsuit said that Daimler could be
sued over the alleged Argentina abuses in
California since its subsidiary, Mercedes-
Benz USA, sold cars in that state.
Court wont allow DaimlerChrysler suit in California

Vigil draws hundreds after
New Mexico school shooting
ROSWELL, N.M. A12-year-old New Mexico boy drew
a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot and wound-
ed two classmates at his middle school Tuesday morning
before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon and he
was taken into custody, ofcials and witnesses said.
Aboy was critically injured and a girl was in satisfactory
condition following the shooting at Berrendo Middle
School in Roswell.
Gov. Susana Martinez said the students were in the gym,
where they typically hang out before classes start during
cold and inclement weather. The 12-year-old opened re
with the shotgun there at about 8 a.m.
However, he was quickly stopped by one staff member
who walked right up to him and asked him to set down the
rearm, which he did, Martinez said at a news conference.
Superintendent Tom Burris said the schools faculty had
participated in active shooter training, and they respond-
ed appropriately Tuesday.

WASHINGTON The U.S. judiciary
told Congress on Tuesday it opposes
the idea of having an independent pri-
vacy advocate on the secret Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court, while
members of Congress lauded the idea at
a Capitol Hill hearing.
Speaking for the entire U.S. judici-
ary, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates
sent a letter to the Senate Intelligence
Committee saying that appointing an
independent advocate to the secret sur-
veillance court is unnecessary and pos-
sibly counterproductive, and he
slammed other key reforms as adding
too heavy a caseload to the secret
courts work. In FISA court hearings,
judges only hear from the government
seeking a spy war-
rant.
Bates said open-
ing the proceeding
to an advocate for
privacy in general
who would never
meet the suspect or
be able to defend the
charges against him
wouldnt create
the kind of back and forth seen in open
criminal or civil court proceedings.
Given the nature of FISA proceed-
ings, the participation of an advocate
would neither create a truly adversarial
process nor constructively assist the
courts in assessing the facts, he wrote.
Members of the presidential task
force that recommended such an advo-
cate defended the proposal before the
Senate Judiciary Committee, as did
Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., during
a hearing on the NSAs surveillance
programs Tuesday.
Cass Sunstein, a member of the
Review Group on Intelligence and
Communications Technologies, said
the secret court should not be making
decisions on law or policy without an
opposition voice.
We dont think thats consistent
with our legal traditions, Sunstein
said. He also said that a public advocate
would only be needed for a small num-
ber of cases because most FISAproceed-
ings do not involve issues of law or
policy.
Those competing points of view are
playing out as President Barack Obama
decides what changes hell back and
unveil in a speech Friday to satisfy pri-
vacy, legal and civil liberties concerns
over the NSAs surveillance practices.
Spy court judge slams proposed privacy advocate
By Justin Juozapavicius
TULSA, Okla. A federal judge
struck down Oklahomas gay marriage
ban Tuesday, but headed off any rush to
the altar by setting aside his order
while state and local ofcials complete
an appeal. It was the second time in a
month that a federal judge has set aside
a deeply conservative states limits on
same-sex marriage, after Utahs ban
was reversed in December.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge
Terence Kern described Oklahomas
ban on same-sex marriage as an arbi-
trary, irrational exclusion of just one
class of Oklahoma citizens from a
governmental benet.
The decision drew criticism from the
governor, attorney general and other
elected ofcials in this state known as
the buckle of the Bible Belt. A state
lawmaker who once said gay people
posed a greater threat to the nation
than terrorism blasted rulings from
activist judges.
Kern said the ban violates the U.S.
Constitutions equal protection clause
because it precludes same-sex couples
from receiving an Oklahoma marriage
license. In his 68-page ruling, Kern
frequently referenced U.S. Supreme
Court decisions issued last summer on
gay marriage. He also took a shot at
Oklahomas high divorce rate, noting
that excluding same-sex couples from
marriage has done little to keep
Oklahoma families together thus far.

Proposed electric rate changes
Editor,
These are my comments regarding
the proposal to raise Pacic Gas and
Electric rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2
users and reducing rates for Tier 3
users. Nothing like screwing retired
people who are home more during
afternoon and evening hours. After
insulating, replacing old windows and
changing out light bulbs what more
am I to do? It was predicted that con-
sumers would be eventually forced
onto TOU (time of use) rates when the
Smart meters were installed. We
have been encouraged to conserve for
decades now and you want to increase
rates for those who have conserved?
Thanks for looking out for our best
interest CPUC & PG&E.

Editor,
Bozo diplomats John McCain,
Lindsey Graham and Senator Barrosso
of Wyoming (no Democrats this time)
have again attempted to trample on
the delicate efforts by the Obama
administration. This time out it
involves the ongoing work of get-
ting Israel to give back some of the
land seized in several wars, to the
original inhabitants in return for a
permanent agreement to settle the
borders that have been in ux since
1949. Last time out McCain and com-
pany marched around Ukraine stirring
up as much trouble as possible over
the popular demonstrations concern-
ing trade policies with which he has
nothing to do with. Before that this
cabal was screaming for some sort of
violent action against the Assad
regime and possibly some of the vari-
ous and sundry rebels ghting him as
well. Pick a ght any ght. Now back
home he is part of the group trying
their best to derail the delicate Iran
negotiations concerning nuclear
enrichment. Maybe we should just
start calling him the Beetle Bailey
(popular comic strip character) of
American diplomacy. He still has a
way to go to out do Dennis Rodman
but hes certainly trying.

Collectivism in America
Editor,
This statement is a very negative
quote to start the new year: The
future looks pretty bleak for our chil-
dren, as written by Patricia Gray of
Burlingame in her letter, Children
and the future (in the Jan. 8 edition
of the Daily Journal). I guess this is
the 2014 blueprint for those left-
leaning individuals who unfortunately
have a myopic perspective not just of
children, but also include their par-
ents while indicting the entire coun-
try.
Such a collectivist viewpoint looks
to those who really know and
understand as the formulators of a
soon-to-be idealistic Utopian para-
dise here on earth (if all the rest of us
just listening to their words of wis-
dom, while at the same time, com-
pletely ignoring their behavior and
subsequent actions plus all those
unintended consequences).
Now let me ask a few simple ques-
tions about Ms. Grays perspective:
1. Werent the central themes of our
Founding Fathers and those who came
before them liberty and freedom, tra-
ditional values and individualism?
2. Are we a collectivist society?
3. Where has collectivism worked
and prospered for all citizens?
4. How can heaven on earth be
created without a deity?
5. Is it not true that America is a
shining light for freedom and oppor-
tunity for the entire world?
6. How can getting something free
be good for an individual where they
abdicate all responsibility and
accountability?
7. What role does a parent-to-be and
one raising a child have to that child?
8. Do poor people create businesses
and wealth?
9. What role does increasing taxes,
adding more laws and regulations and
the constant interference of a very
large bureaucratic government have
on job creation?
10. What is a free market?
God bless America!

Letters to the editor
C
alifornias rainy season runs
from January to April and so
far it is very dry, though a
quick look at the sky and the ground
should tell you that. And we are also
coming out of the driest year on
record with a mere 3.38 inches of rain
documented in 2013.
So what does this add up to? Gov.
Jerry Brown is contemplating declar-
ing a drought, which will ease ways to
send water to where there is a need.
While that may be a remedy for farm-
ers justiably worried about dry land
and those in arid areas without access
to reservoirs, it is a step which may
be unnecessary if the high pressure
ridge that is keeping away the rain
subsides and our rainy season
becomes just that.
That may be part of the reason why
state ofcials, most notably Brown,
have held off on a drought declara-
tion. Wait and see is sometimes the
best position.
Another reason may be that such a
declaration would diminish the
prospects of one of the governors
pet projects the Delta Tunnel proj-
ect. Though touted as a necessary step
for the states water goals, it has been
derided by some as a tactic to deliver
Northern California water to Southern
California and all the perils that may
go with that. So, if a drought is
declared, water would be at a premium
and any suggestion that it be sent
elsewhere but the Delta Estuary may
prove to be unpopular among voters
who would have to approve a bond for
the tunnel project to begin.
In the meantime, as reported by
Daily Journal reporter Samantha
Weigel in her story Driest year on
record in the Jan. 9 edition, local
water ofcials are less worried than
their counterparts in other areas of the
state because we have access to sus-
tainable water sources like reservoirs.
Unlike areas that rely on well or
ground water, we in the Bay Area rely
on the Hetch Hetchy water delivery
system, a managed water supply.
Still, that should not mean that we
need not worry. Many of us of a cer-
tain age remember the days of true
drought and the conservation meas-
ures that were imposed on us (shared
bath water, fewer ushes, dry lawns).
And knowing the sky is dry is fact
enough for most of us to be aware of
our water use. Water is still a precious
resource however managed and one
that must be conserved at all times.
The measures are easy, turn off the
water when not in use, consider water-
ing your outdoor plants less (espe-
cially lawns), leave bird droppings
and dust on your car a little longer and
dont use water to clean your drive-
way. These are simple measures, but
collectively can make some differ-
ence.
But declaring a drought? Though the
governor is feeling pressure to do so,
its best to wait.
Not time to declare a drought
Thoughts
on droughts
M
y biggest problem is what to do about all
the things I cant do anything about.
Ashleigh Brilliant.
Reviewing the news on TV and in newspapers can pro-
voke many comments and questions. On Jan. 9, this
newspaper announced on the front page: Driest year on
record! Its not like we havent known for some time that
the amount of precipitation
in our rain gauges has been
extremely scarce. And yet,
up until now there has been
very little concern
expressed by those in
charge of our California
water supply. Seems like
everyone we talk to lately
wonders why there hasnt
been a plan for saving
water put into effect. Plenty
of graphs and charts appear
in the newspaper and on TV
that compare the rain
amount of the last calendar
year to other years and weathermen on TV lament more
and more dry days ahead, yet I havent seen or heard any-
one with authority requesting or requiring us to conserve
water.
The rst thing I saw in a newspaper about the possibili-
ty of water rationing was on Jan. 5 in an article about how
Santa Cruz is preparing to take action. Then came the
probe of the snow in the mountains to measure its depth
and its water content. The results were abysmal just 20
percent of average for this time of year. Yet we are all still
sitting here waiting for the skies to open up and send us
water.
When we look around and see the extremely dry hills,
the withered plants, the drying streams and the unprece-
dented low water in reservoirs and even hear about wild-
res in January, youd think that those in charge of our
water supply would have long ago put regulations in place
to curb excess water usage not just voluntary, as some
suggest, but mandatory.
But not to worry! Help is here! The Jan. 8 Daily Journal
told us: Catholic bishops pray to relieve dry California.
We are informed that The California Conference of
Catholic Bishops asked people of all faiths to join in
prayers for rain as reservoirs in the state dipped to his-
toric lows after one of the driest calendar years on record.
Bishop Jaime Soto suggested a prayer for God to open
the heavens and let His mercy rain down upon our elds
and mountains. And, by golly, if we get some rain in the
near future, theyll believe God heard their pleas! And what
will we be told if this doesnt happen? That God is punish-
ing us for our sins?
What is so disconcerting is that they think they are so
holy and actually believe that there is some accommodat-
ing spirit up there listening. And if, by some quirk of fate,
the heavens should open up and pour down rain on the
elds and mountains, theyll believe that they were suc-
cessful in communicating with God and creating a miracle.
Amessage to the bishops: It will take much more than
faith to solve the problem. Preventive measures need to
be taken better late than never.
If I believed that praying would do the trick, Id pray
that the bishops would see the light and promote birth
control so that the world could become less stressed by
overpopulation and declining natural resources.
Obviously, it doesnt bother them that those who are not
able to provide adequately for their children often add to a
population that is poorly educated, on welfare, and often
in trouble with the law. Id pray that those guys who sit
there in their ecclesiastical robes with their minds xated
on the very distant past and ponticate about such things
like the horrors of birth control with apparently no con-
cern for future consequences, would get their minds out of
the stratosphere and come down to earth (Is it possible
that the new pope may be able to bring about a bit of rea-
son in this regard?).
Maybe its time that those bishops who live in their
own fantasy world are seen for what they are pious reli-
gious icons who hide behind their cloistered existence and
feel they have fullled a religious duty by urging us to
pray for rain. Maybe youre thinking I should be humble
and understanding of the bishops and their followers.
Maybe youll email me and deride me for telling it like it
is. Maybe I should pay more attention to Ashleigh
Brilliant who also penned, Theres little in this world
that I can change, and, of that, very little wants to be
changed. Maybe it will rain again sometime.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The good followed
the bad for the stock market on
Tuesday.
One day after logging its worst per-
formance of the year, the stock market
bounced back with its best day of
2014. The Standard & Poors 500
index climbed more than 1 percent and
erased most of its loss from a day earli-
er.
Technology stocks led the gains as
Wall Street analysts raised their
assessments of Intel and electronics
company Jabil Circuit.
Areport on retail sales also boosted
investor condence. Excluding spend-
ing on autos, gas and building sup-
plies, sales increased 0.7 percent in
December, the Commerce Department
reported Tuesday. That was better than
the increase of 0.4 percent forecast by
economists.
While the rise in December sales was
modest, it helped ease investors con-
cerns about the health of the economy
after a surprisingly weak jobs report
was published on Friday.
This is a preview of what 2014 will
be like...its going to be more volatile
than it was last year, said Andres
Garcia-Amaya, a global market strate-
gist at JPMorgan Funds. The markets
bouncing back and saying the worlds
not ending, things are pointing in the
right direction.
The S&P 500 index gained 19.68
points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,838.88,
its biggest gain since Dec. 18. It rose
steadily throughout the day and n-
ished close to its high on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 115.92 points, or 0.7 percent, to
close at 16,373.86, just below of its
high of the day. The technology-heavy
Nasdaq composite rose 69.71 points,
or 1.7 percent, to 4,183.02.
Technology companies rose 1.9 per-
cent, the most of the 10 sectors that
make up the S&P 500. The nine other
sectors also nished higher.
Intel climbed $1.01, or 4 percent, to
$26.51 after analysts at JPMorgan
raised their rating on the chipmakers
stock and predicted that demand for
PCs will stabilize this year and that the
companys CEO will focus on improv-
ing margins and returns.
Jabil Circuit jumped $1.30, or 7.8
percent, to $17.89 after Goldman
Sachs recommended buying the stock
of the electronics company, forecast-
ing that its earnings next year could be
better than most analysts are expect-
ing.
Stocks have had a sluggish start to
the year after an exceptional 2013.
The S&P 500 index is down 0.5 per-
cent in January after climbing nearly
30 percent last year.
Despite the slow start, many
investors remain optimistic that
stocks will end this year higher as
well, and that the current slump will
wind up being a pause rather than a col-
lapse.
Valuations have certainly been
pushed higher, so (stocks) are no
longer cheap, said Eric Wiegand, sen-
ior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank
Wealth Management. But we would
contend that they are still fair.
Investors were also watching results
from two big banks. JPMorgan Chase,
the nations biggest bank by assets,
rose 4 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $57.74
after reporting gains in most of its
divisions except for investment bank-
ing.
Wells Fargo rose 3 cents, or 0.1 per-
cent, to $45.59 after the banks net
income rose 11 percent, despite a
sharp drop in its mortgage business.
The outlook for bank earnings
should improve as the economy
strengthens said, Jerry Braakman,
chief investment officer at First
American Trust. Banks should get a lift
as long-term interest rates rise, help-
ing to lift the margins on their lend-
ing, he said.
The yield on the 10-year note
climbed to 2.87 percent from 2.83 per-
cent on Monday as investors sold
bonds.
Stocks bounce back a day after big loss
By Anne DInnocenzio
and Josh Boak
NEW YORK Holiday shoppers
were more than willing to spend during
the holiday season, if they saw big dis-
counts or were shopping online.
Sales rose 3.8 percent from last
year for November and December
combined, according to the National
Retail Federations analysis of feder-
al figures. That was a healthy gain in
a season that kept merchants worried
right up until Christmas as people
held off on spending.
That caution and increased online
shopping made the holiday less fes-
tive at the mall. Shoppers stayed away
from many traditional destinations
like department stores and electronics
stores.
The sales increase came in just shy
of the trade groups forecast of a 3.9
percent gain. It was better than the 3.5
percent increase in 2012 and the 3.3
percent average for the past 10 years.
It was a knock-down, drag-out bat-
tle between retailers to see who could
discount the most to generate the most
trafc, said Ken Perkins, president of
Retail Metrics LLC, a research rm.
For retailers, those discounts came
straight out of their profits. Many
have cut their forecasts for the fourth
quarter, and prots are expected to be
the weakest since second quarter of
2009, when the economy was coming
out of the Great Recession.
Perkins estimates that fourth-quarter
prots will fall 0.7 percent from last
year, the rst decline since a 6.7 per-
cent drop seen during the second quar-
ter of 2009, according to his tally of
120 retailers.
Holiday sales rise on discounts, online shopping
U.S. businesses boost
stockpiles 0.4 percent in November
WASHINGTON U.S. companies built up their stock-
piles in November as their sales improved. Continued
growth in inventories suggests businesses believe con-
sumers will increase spending in the months ahead.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that business
stockpiles grew 0.4 percent in November. That follows a
strong 0.8 percent gain in October. Sales increased 0.8
percent in November after a 0.5 percent gain the previous
month.
Rising stockpiles should help keep economic growth
solid in the October-December quarter. Several econo-
mists project growth at a 3 percent annual rate in that peri-
od after a 4.1 percent rate in the previous quarter. Greater
restocking boosts growth because it requires more factory
production.
Retailers led much of the gains in inventories ahead of
the holiday shopping season. Wholesalers also increased
their stockpiles. Stockpiling by manufacturers was at.
General Motors quarterly dividend is back
DETROIT General Motors Co. says it will resume
paying a quarterly dividend, its rst since the height of the
nancial crisis in 2008
The U.S. automakers CEO Dan Akerson had hinted that
a dividend may be coming and the company conrmed the
move Tuesday. General Motors says its dividend of 30
cents per share is payable March 28 to stockholders of
record as of March 18.
The Detroit-based company says investors should share
in the companys success and that the dividend is a signal
of condence for a protable future.
Shares of GM jumped 3 percent in after-hours trading to
$41.28.

EARLY ENTRY: TWO MORE STANFORD JUNIORS DECLARE FOR THE NFL >> PAGE 13
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In hockey parlance, the goalkeepers for
the Carlmont girls soccer team stood on
their heads.
Alyssa Fagel and Lauren Racioppe com-
bined for 14 saves including several
point-blank shots by Racioppe in the sec-
ond half.
Those saves, combined with Brooke
Buckleys rst-half goal gave Carlmont a 1-
0 win over Woodside, ending Woodsides
31-game unbeaten streak.
Im not even sure how she got a couple of
those saves, Carlmont coach Tina Smith of
Racioppe. [Woodside] played very well in
the second half. They brought it to us.
The loss was the rst for Woodside since a
3-2 loss to Menlo-Atherton in the nal PAL
game of the 2011-12 season.
Woodside coach Jose Navarrete, whose
team is the defending Peninsula Athletic
League and Central Coast Section Division I
co-champs, was concerned his team was
playing without the urgency necessary to
succeed consistently. He said his team nal-
ly played with a passion in the second half
as they bombarded the Carlmont goal with
13 shots, but the Wildcats could not solve
Racioppe.
Theyre goalkeeper was phenomenal,
Navarrete said. We pounded on her pretty
well.
Carlmont (2-0-1 PAL Bay) was on its
heels the entire second half, barely manag-
ing to move the ball past mideld. But the
Scots defense was solid and, when
Woodside (1-1-1) did manage to get past the
back line, Racioppe was there to thwart the
Wildcats time and again.
Woodside forward Jillienne Aguilera was
particularly unlucky. Twice she had just
Racioppe to beat and twice Racioppe denied
her. In the 54th minute, Aguilera broke in
on goal, Racioppe came off her line to cut
off the angle and stopped Aguileras shot.
The second time came in the 63rd minute,
with a similar result although this time
Racioppe gave up a rebound but pounced on
Scots snap Woodsides unbeaten streak

Serras Danny Mahoney scored a team-high 15 points hitting three 3-pointers during
the Padres 50-41 loss to Mitty in SanMateo Tuesday night.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Serra basketball team played well for
three quarters against visiting Mitty
Tuesday night.
The Monarchs, however, played great in
the fourth quarter. Mitty erased a 10-point,
halftime decit and outscored the Padres 19-
4 over the nal eight minutes to pull away
for a 50-41 win.
We played well, said Serra coach Chuck
Rapp. I think we stopped moving the ball
well (in the second half). When we get
away from it, it hurts us.
Mitty (3-0 WCAL, 11-2 overall) trailed
29-19 at halftime and 37-31 after three quar-
ters, but in the fourth, the Monarchs went to
work and Serra (2-1, 9-4) could not buy a
bucket. Serra managed just 12 points in the
second half after scoring 29 in the rst two
quarters.
Mitty pulled out the win at the free throw
line, hitting 14 of 22 attempts. Contrast
that to Serra, which attempted just three
and missed them all.
A lot of that has to do with the fact the
Padres just dont have the size in the post.
Especially against Mitty, which has 6-8
sophomore Ben Kone, who scored 15
points and pulled down 14 rebounds.
Instead, Serra relies primarily on its start-
ing backcourt of guards Matt Watkins and
Danny Mahoney. Both were on top of their
game in the rst half, as Mahoney scored 13
nailing three 3-pointers in the process
while Watkins had six. Center Trevor
Brown who did a good job limiting Kone
was the only other Padre to hit a pair of
buckets in the rst half.
The way this team is constructed, we
depend a lot on our backcourt, Rapp said.
We have to look to get the ball into the
post (more).
Mahoney ended the night with 15 points,
Watkins with 10.
The Padres did get the ball down low just
enough in the rst half as they put together
one of their best halves of the season. They
smartly waited for Kone to move out of the
middle before attacking the basket. Those
dribble penetrations then opened up the
Serra cant close out Mitty

For weeks now, other Peninsula Athletic
League girls soccer coaches have been quick
to point out that no one should overlook
Hillsdale High School.
Sure, the Knights spent all of last season
taking their lumps as the newest member of
the Bay Division and wound up with a record
that showed that. But 2014 is a different sea-
son and a different attitude for the Knights.
Tuesday afternoon against Sequoia High
School, Hillsdale got the win they had been
looking for to solidify some sort of legiti-
macy in the very tough Bay Division. By
scoring three goals in the second half, the
Knights earned their rst victory of the PAL
season.
Were more legitimate, said Hillsdale
head coach Samia Shoman. We feel good
about that. We needed a win. Especially at
the beginning of the year and after last year
when we chased, chased, chased.
The Knights have always had that predator
mentality with Shoman at the helm and two
years ago, they turned it into an Ocean
Division championship. But last year, as
the new girls on the block, the wins were
scarce. Now, three games into the 2014 PAL
schedule, coaches in the Bay know they
cant take it lightly when they play the
Knights and on Tuesday Hillsdale showed
exactly why.
For the rst half, Sequoia and Hillsdale
could not capitalize on their opportunities.
Forty minutes in and both teams showed
their strengths Hillsdale on the build up
and Sequoia on the counterattack. Still,
none could get on the scoreboard.
But in the second half, the Knights looked
like an unstoppable force and seized every
one of their opportunities.
To win games, you need to put it in the
Knights top

first PAL win

The Burlingame High School community
is mourning the loss of an icon.
Frank Bert Firpo Jr. died last Friday at the
age of 73. Firpo was a member of the
Panthers athletic community since moving
to Burlingame in 1971. Before then, he
coached at Mills High School for six years.
He retired from teaching in 2004 but stayed
on as part of the Burlingame coaching staff
another six years before retiring for good in
2010. While at
Burlingame, he coached
both basketball pro-
grams, girls volleyball
and girls softball. He
was also Panthers athlet-
ic director from 2000 to
2006.
Firpo is survived by his
wife Sharon, brother
George, son Tony and his
wife Chrissy and children Jason, Ryan and
Connor, daughter Julie and her husband Karl
Bohn and children Brendan and Kevin, son
TJ and his husband Ben Bowler, and daugh-
ter Janet and her husband Dave Baird and
children JT and Tommy.
Having spent 45 years coaching local
high school sports, Firpo certainly touched
many lives, from students to athletes to
other coaches.
I was very sad to hear the news about
Frank, said Steve Picchi, a former
Burlingame and Sequoia coach who knew
Firpo since the rst day he stepped onto a
high school campus and later went on to
coach alongside him at Burlingame. My
rst day in high school in 1973, my rst
period teacher was Frank. It was world geog-
raphy.
He was one of those special, special
guys, Picchi said. My heart goes out to
his family. I coached his daughters, so it
came full circle. Hes one of the greatest
people Ive ever experience in education, in
athletics. A classic teacher-coach. Always
Longtime Burlingame coach Frank Firpo dies

SANTACLARA Jim Harbaugh pirouet-
ted in frustration following a personal foul
on Dan Skuta. He got hit with his own
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for argu-
ing following a catch by Vernon Davis that
went to review before being ruled a touch-
down.
And that was just last Sunday.
Harbaugh has been at his emotional best
or, to some, worst with his cartoon-
like faces and quirky sideline antics in lead-
ing San Francisco back to the NFC champi-
onship game for the third time in as many
years since taking over as 49ers head coach
in January 2011. On Davis TD during
Sundays 23-10 win at Carolina, Harbaugh
ran well onto the eld during the play.
I think Harbaugh gets away with murder
myself, former Seahawks coach and ex-
49ers assistant Mike Holmgren said. If I
ever did that it would be a penalty.
Harbaugh should be as charged up as ever
come Sunday, when he faces off once more
against the rival Seattle Seahawks in an
NFC championship game featuring that
familiar coaching sideshow with Pete
Carroll. This time, theres a Super Bowl
berth on the line.
But if you ask Harbaugh, Whats your
deal? is so ve years ago. Enough already,
he insists, keep it about the players.
That might have been something four or
five years ago, Harbaugh said. But, I
havent seen it as of late. And, it would be as
irrelevant now as it would have been then
when people made a bigger deal out of it.
So, irrelevant, irrelevant.
Sorry, not this week. Theres no avoiding
such chatter. Harbaugh has to expect that
infamous phrase to come up often.
It dates back to their college days coach-
ing in the Pac-10 Conference. In 2009,
Harbaugh and No. 25 Stanford ran up the
score on 11th-ranked USC in a surprising
55-21 rout, even attempting a 2-point con-
version with the game way out of reach
prompting Carrolls infamous Whats your
deal? when they met afterward at mideld.
Whatever their past or perceived differ-
ences, Harbaugh knows what to expect
every time a Carroll-coached team takes the
eld.
The Seahawks ended San Franciscos two-
year reign as NFC West champion.
Its hard to get to this position,
Harbaugh said. Talking about a year of
preparation and planning and offseason and
training camp and games. And they did it
better than anybody did it this entire sea-
son. So, a great task, great challenge ahead
of us.
The 49ers have already accomplished
plenty this postseason by winning in the
bitter cold of Green Bay and at Carolina.
Harbaugh is the rst coach in the Super
Bowl era to reach the NFC championship in
each of his rst three years.
Place kicker Phil Dawson wanted to be
part of the winning vibe after 14 mostly
disappointing years with Cleveland. Nose
tackle Glenn Dorsey left Kansas City to
join a team with Harbaugh at the helm.
Even if Dorseys rst impressions of the
coach left him shaking his head.
I noticed what everybody else noticed: a
coach going crazy on the sideline having
fun, Dorsey recalled. Always pumped up
and always getting his team hyped. He
works hard, even now being on the inside
seeing him every day and how he goes about
doing his job, the enthusiasm that he has
and the motivational stuff that he has, the
knowledge that he has. Hes a great coach.
Dawson appreciates how Harbaugh takes
chances in the kicking game based on his
trust in the veteran and it certainly didnt
hurt that Dawson converted a franchise-
record 27 straight eld goals until the streak
ended in the regular-season finale at
Arizona.
The 50-year-old Harbaugh, a 15-year NFL
quarterback himself, regularly moves
around the team plane to visit with players
about football and life. He shares meals
with rookies and veterans alike on occasion
in the team cafeteria.
Hes the kind of coach you want to win
for, Dawson said. Theres a special satis-
faction with having a relationship with the
head coach. Being a place kicker, on a lot of
teams the head coach never even speaks to
the kicker. Hes around, he gets it, hes been
there. Hes sat in those seats. I think its
probably one of the biggest reasons hes
successful is his ability to communicate
with the guys and relate to them on their
level and be able to instill whatever it is
hes trying to instill in a way that guys will
receive it.
Harbaugh leads 49ers back to NFC championship

WASHINGTON Patrick Marleau scored
the only goal of the shootout, lifting the
San Jose Sharks to a 2-1 victory over the
Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.
Antti Niemi stopped Eric Fehr, Alex
Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom in the
shootout after making 35 saves in regula-
tion and overtime. Marleau tallied after Joe
Pavelski missed on San Joses first shot.
Ovechkin scored his league-leading 33rd
goal at 12:44 of the second period after
Tyler Kennedy had tallied for San Jose at
13:30 of the first.
The Sharks took the opener of a three-
game road trip, improving to 17-1 against
the Capitals in the teams last 18 meet-
i ngs.
Rookie goaltender Philipp Grubauer,
making his 12th start in 17 games, made
28 saves for Washington.
It was the Capitals second straight 2-1
shootout loss and they have lost six of
their last eight.
The Capitals got their first power play
with 1:15 left in regulation when Marleau
was called for hooking, but Niemi made a
pair of saves on Ovechkin in the final
minute and San Jose killed off the remain-
der of the penalty in overtime.
San Jose led 1-0 after a first period in
which Washington went over 10 minutes
without a shot on goal during one stretch.
The Capitals actually had an early 7-1
advantage in shot, but Niemi made several
good stops, including a glove save on
wrister by Backstrom in the slot during a 3-
on-2.
Sharks defeat Capitals 2-1 in shootout

OAKLAND About the only
support Stephen Curry used to
receive on the road when he rst
entered the NBA in 2009 came
away from the court before or after
games.
Back then, Curry did small
speaking engagements which
he still does on occasion for
fellow alumni of Davidson
College. Hed sign a couple auto-
graphs, take a few photos and
thank those who showed up.
Those days of relative anonymi-
ty are long gone.
After leading the Golden State
Warriors (25-14) to the second
round of the playoffs last year and
a strong start this season, Curry
has quickly become one of the
NBAs most popular players. Hes
likely headed for his rst All-Star
appearance probably even as a
starter and growing into one
the sports most marketable
names.
Fans wear his jersey, the sixth-
most sold in the league this sea-
son, in every arena he visits.
Crowds often form in the lower
level just to watch his pregame
workout. Hes cheered during
introductions, and he generates
oohs and aahs for his shot-
making skills against opponents.
Afterward, fans line the tunnel
to the visiting locker room to
snag an autograph or photo
and, if theyre lucky, get close
enough to high-ve their favorite
player.
A lot of people rally around
him, Warriors power forward
David Lee said. Its not like he
has Dwight Howards body. Hes a
guy that people can relate to.
Currys rise from NCAA tourna-
ment darling to NBA stardom
reached a major milestone last
week.
Curry, perhaps the biggest All-
Star snub a year ago, surpassed
Clippers point guard Chris Paul by
26,000 votes to move into the
second starting guard spot on the
Western Conference team, accord-
ing to fan balloting released by
the league. Injured Lakers star
Kobe Bryant still tops the list.
Fan voting ends Jan. 20, and the
starters for the game in New
Orleans will be announced Jan.
23. The Warriors havent had an
All-Star starter since Latrell
Sprewell in 1995.
Its humbling, said Curry, the
highest-scoring player not select-
ed to last years game. Obviously
well see how it plays out, but
youve got to thank the fans and
everybody that takes the time out
to go vote. Im not the one sitting
behind a computer typing my
name over and over again. They
are the ones supporting me and its
a very surreal situation.
What makes Curry so com-
pelling might be the simplest of
basketball skills: shooting.
In a game long dominated by big
men and played by some of the
worlds greatest athletes, the 6-
foot-3, 185-pound Curry controls
games without ever physically
overpowering defenders. His
shooting stroke can seem unstop-
pable at times, and when he gets
going, nobody has found a way to
slow him down.
One of the best shooters this
NBA will see, four-time NBA
MVP LeBron James said after the
Warriors beat the Heat in Miami
on Jan. 2. If you can nd a better
shooter than him right now, espe-
cially with the way he handles the
ball and the light that he has,
its more than green, its uores-
cent you just hope that he miss-
es.
Last season, Curry made 272 3-
pointers three more than Ray
Allens record of 269 set with

Stephen Curry is having a career season for the Golden State Warriors.

STANFORD Free safety Ed
Reynolds and right tackle
Cameron Fleming are the latest
Stanford players to announce they
are forgoing their nal year of eli-
gibility to enter the NFL draft.
Both announced their decisions
through the school Tuesday. They
had until Wednesdays deadline for
underclassmen to declare for the
draft.
Reynolds ranked third at
Stanford with 87 tackles and also
had one interception last season
to earn Pac-12 rst-team honors
for the second straight year.
Quarterbacks often threw away
from Reynolds after he led the
Cardinal with six interceptions in
2012.
After much thought and discus-
sion with my family and mentors,
I have decided to enter the NFL
Draft, Reynolds said in a state-
ment. I would like to thank the
Stanford football family for put-
ting me in this position and
preparing me for the next level. A
very special thanks to our coach-
ing staff, support staff and my
teammates for making the memo-
ries of these past four years last a
lifetime.
Reynolds said he will re-enroll
at Stanford for the spring quarter
and return again in the offseason
to complete his bachelors degree
in political science. He missed all
of the 2011 season because of a
knee injury suffered in spring
practice, so he couldve returned as
a fth-year senior.
The 6-foot-6, 318-pound
Fleming started on the right side
of Stanfords stout offensive line
the past three seasons after red-
shirting his freshman year.

back of the net, Shoman said of her halftime
speech to her players. You need to play 80
minutes to win games. We are very good at
building attack, possession, but we need to
get goals to win games.
Hillsdale took Shomans message to heart
and scored goals in all sorts of ways.
They came out harder than us in the second
half, said Sequoia head coach Melissa
Schmidt. We made some mistakes in the sec-
ond half, we had some lapses and we paid for
them. And that made the difference.
The rst lapse was a product of Tayla Kelley
and a world-class stutter-step that froze her
defender long enough to burn past her on a run
down the right side. Instead of looking for a
cross, Kelley made a sharp cut, headed straight
to goal and beat the Sequoia keeper near post
for a superb goal to make it 1-0.
Minutes later, Valerie Chiang and Kayla
Coleman hooked up for another pretty
Hillsdale goal. Chiang sent in a beautiful ver-
tical cross into the penalty box. Coleman
hustled and beat the Sequoia keeper to a spot,
juggled around her and was rewarded with the
wide open spaces of the Cherokees goal.
Coleman scored the easiest goal of her life to
make it 2-0.
Both of those balls came from our back
line, Shoman said. So thats something we
really work on. We dont have that one person
that is going to score a bunch of goals like we
did a few years ago. We have a lot of players
that have the ability to score goals for us.
Hillsdale wasnt done and their last goal
was a special one. Chiang completed the rare
Olympico Goal by hitting a left-footed corner
kick into the Sequoia net on the y that made
it 3-0 and sealed the deal for the Knights.
For their part, the Cherokees did threaten
the Hillsdale goal. But their best chances came
in the rst half and the Knights backline set-
tled in quite nicely in the second to thwart any
real threats.
I dont feel like that was a 3-0 game,
Schmidt said. I think they capitalized on
their opportunities and we didnt.
Crystal Springs 5, Summit Prep 1
Leading just 1-0 at halftime, the Gryphons
opened up West Bay Athletic League play with
a convincing 5-1 victory over Summit Prep.
Crystal Springs Upland Schools is now 4-3
overall.
Natasha Thornton-Clark recorded a hat trick
by scoring goals in the 26th, 65th and 74th
minutes. Megan Duncanson scored the other
two goals, both assisted by Christina
Langmack.
Menlo School 6, Pinewood 0
Sienna Stritter recorded a hat trick and
Chandler Wickers added a pair of goals and
Zoe Enright helped with three assists as the

Jamie Corley scored Menlos other goal,
while Alexandra Walker and Mikayla Stabile
also added assists in the victory.
Goalkeeper Schuyler Tilney-Volk had four
saves to earn her second shutout of the sea-
son.

teaching, always had time for every kid.
The greatest level of kindness and integri-
ty that I have pretty much ever seen. Just
solid. Hes the kind of guy you want your
kid to play for.
Firpo was a San Francisco native who
graduated from St. Ignatius High School in
1959. His first coaching experience came
at Mills when, from 1967 to 1971, he
coached the boys basketball team. He
would later move to Burlingame where he
coached boys basketball from 1972 to
1990, volleyball from 1985 to 2001 and
softball from 1989 to 2010. He led the
2003 Panthers to the Central Coast
Section Division II softball champi-
onship.
He was really a class act, Picchi said.
You want your kid to play for him. Hes
really at the top of my list. One of my
mentors in my career and a great friend.
Theyll always be a little bit of coach
Firpo in me because anything good, I
probably got from him. Just a kind-hearted
guy and a great teacher.
Family and friends may visit after 5 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 15 at St. Roberts Church,

TRANSACTIONS
Padres outside game and Mahoney and
Watkins had a number of open looks from 3.
Mitty scored the rst basket of the night,
which was matched by a Watkins layup off
the dribble drive. Kone then made 1 of 2 free
throws and Sam Serra drained a 3 for a 6-2
Monarchs advantage.
The Padres responded with a 7-0 run,
capped by a Mahoney 3 from the corner, to
put them up 9-6.
The Padres led 13-10 after one quarter.
Serra extended its lead to 17-10 early in
the second quarter when Brown knocked
down a jumper and Watkins hit another
layup.
After Mitty cut the lead to 17-13,
Mahoney hit his second 3 of the half and
Seth Bartlett converted a layup to put the
Padres up 22-14.
It was all going Serras way when
Mahoney hit a running 3 from the top of the
key off an inbounds play just as the shot-
clock buzzer sounded and the Padres led 25-
17.
They made it an even 10-point lead at the
half after Brown beat Kone off the dribble
and oated a shot over him to put Serra up
29-19.
Serra still had the momentum in the third
quarter, but Mitty came out on a mission.
The Monarchs opened the second half with a
6-2 run, but back to back baskets from
Brown and Mahoney pushed the Serra lead
back to 10, 35-25.
It was still a 10-point Serra lead, 37-27,
when Stephon Nettles scored on a layup
with 2:50 left in the third, but it would be
Serras last basket for nearly ve minutes, a
span that bridged the end of the third and
beginning of the fourth quarter.
Mitty opened the fourth with a 7-0 run to
take a 38-37 lead and the Monarchs steadily
pulled away.
In the second half, Serra stopped attack-
ing the rim and settled for contested
jumpers. The Padres were 0 for 10 from
behind the arc in the third and fourth quar-
ters.
We started to settle for jumpers after just
one or two passes, Rapp said.
The Padres are also missing a third scor-
ing option. While there have been games
where a third player has emerged, no one has
done it consistently.
Thats what we need, Rapp said. If we
can nd a third option, it puts us into anoth-
er gear.
While disappointed with the loss, Rapp
knows there is still a lot of basketball to be
played.
Its disappointing. Mitty is a big deal,
especially at home. You want to defend your
home court, Rapp said. But theres a lot of
basketball left.

the loose ball before Aguilera could get to
i t .
For whatever reason, we could not turn
the tide, Smith said.
Isabella Bascara also had a golden oppor-
tunity stopped by Racioppe. Woodside
earned a corner kick in the 65th minute and
Lauren Hollands cross eventually landed on
the foot of Bascara, but her one-timer was
caught by Racioppe.
The first half was much more evenly
played, with neither team taking many
chances.
I know how talented Woodside is, Smith
said. I told [my team] that we need to be
aware that we wont be as successful (against
Woodside as other teams). But [Woodside] is
not going to be as successful because were
a good team too.
After a couple of probing runs, the Scots
finally caught Woodside with a counter
attack. Soha Said triggered the play by
gathering a loose ball near mideld and nd-
ing Simone McCarthy in the middle.
McCarthy quickly sent a diagonal pass to
the right wing where Buckley ran onto it.
With a step on the defender and the
Woodside goalkeeper charging off her line,
Buckley poked a shot past her and tucked it
just inside the far left post for a 1-0
Carlmont lead in the 13th minute.
We started slow and they took advan-
tage, Navarrete said.
Woodside nally started to show some of
that urgency Navarrete had been looking for
following Buckleys goal. Woodside mis-
red on a couple of prime scoring opportu-
nities and ended up outshooting the Scots
10-1 in the opening 40 minutes.
The Wildcats continued their onslaught in
the second half, but could never get one past
either Fagel or Racioppe.
Smith credited her teams preparation dur-
ing practice for its strong showing so far
this season.

tices, Smith said. They were dialed in for

Djokovic stayed on track for a fourth con-

6-0, 6-4, 6-4 win Wednesday over Leonardo
Mayer of Argentina.
Advancing to the third round with his
26th consecutive match win, Djokovic had
a brief scare while serving at 3-0 in the rst
set when he turned over on his left ankle,
tumbling to the court.
But it wasnt serious enough for him to
warrant medical attention during the next
break in play and he took the opening set in
just 22 minutes, conceding just eight
points.
Djokovic is attempting to win a fth
Australian title, the rst man to achieve that
feat since the Open Era began in 1968.

Same great food,
same great prices! Yelp!
Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
Is there a chip dip in the world that isnt
wonderful? No matter what the flavor, at
heart most are tubs of sour cream or melted
cheese. Few foods are more satisfying.
Of course, most dips also are notorious-
ly heavy with fat and calories. Indeed,
thats why we love them. Still, I figured
there must be ways to lighten them up
while retaining their luxurious texture.
I started by bulking up on the vegeta-
bles in this case, artichokes and
spinach. Artichokes happen to contain
many nutrients and a ton of fiber. I chose
canned artichokes rather than frozen
because the canned are packed in citric
acid, which gives them a lemony kick. But
if you prefer frozen, youll need 2 cups
thawed.
But why frozen spinach instead of fresh?
Because youd need to cook down a bath-
tub full of fresh spinach or pretty darn
near it to end up with the equivalent of
a cupful of frozen spinach. No one wants
to do all that work before even starting to
mix the dip. Also, a cup of frozen spinach
boasts more than four times the nutrients
of a cup of fresh spinach. Its kind of hard
to beat. And all I had to do was defrost it
and squeeze it out. Easy.
Now, how to conjure up that rich, cheesy
texture without employing a boatload of
cheese? I started with Neufchatel, a French
cream cheese that has one-third less fat
than the full-fat version, but more flavor
than the no-fat version. Then I added some
low-fat sour cream for tang and a tiny bit
of low-fat mayonnaise for the oil. Youre
welcome to substitute extra-virgin olive
oil, if youd like.
Finally, theres some Parmigiano-
Reggiano, which bristles with so much
flavor and salt that just a little bit of it
an ounce in this case will do the trick.
The full-fat version of this dip usually
includes mozzarella, but I didnt miss it,
so I didnt use it.
All these veggies and cheese cried out
for some heat. I ended up using red pepper
flakes and Peppadews. Peppadews are
pickled red peppers from South Africa, hot
and sweet and about the size of cherry
tomatoes. If you dont find them in the
market, you can swap in pickled cherry
peppers or even roasted red peppers. As an
added bonus, any of these red peppers will
brighten up the dips complexion.
The finishing touches? Caramelized
onions and garlic. Please take the time to
cook the onions slowly, which brings out
their natural sugar. It adds a nice depth of
flavor to the mix.
Serve this dip with a healthy cracker
(just read the label) or make your own pita
crisps. To do so, just separate some two-
layered pita bread pockets into single lay-
ers, spray them lightly with oil, cut them
into triangles, and bake them at 400 F for
10 to 12 minutes, or until crisp. Then go
ahead and indulge yourself.

In a medium skillet over medium-low,
heat the oil. Add the onion and saute, cov-
ered, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes.
Uncover the pan and continue cooking,
stirring occasionally, until the onions are
golden brown, about another 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1
minute. Remove the pan from the heat and
set aside. In a food processor, pulse the
artichokes until they are medium chopped,
then transfer them to the skillet.
In the food processor combine the
spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, may-
onnaise and half of the Parmigiano-
Reggiano, then process until mixed. Add
the mixture to the skillet, along with the
peppers and pepper flakes. Stir well, then
season with salt.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan,
sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top
and bake on the ovens middle shelf for 15
to 20 minutes, or until it is bubbling at the
edges. Serve immediately with crackers or

look at options of how to undertake those
improvements.
The council allotted $30,000 to conduct a
public poll to ascertain specic concerns and
support for a measure dedicated to city infra-
structure needs. Between 300 to 400 members
of the public will be asked about their
amenability to various ballot initiatives such
as bonds, parcel tax, sales tax or utility tax
measures, according to a staff report.
Its nancing [repairs] through bonds. So
what we need to do is see whether the commu-
nity is interested in nancing road improve-
ments through bond measures. Its a situation
where we are clearly looking to the communi-
ty to see how strongly they are in support of
improvements to the roads and their appetite
for improving those roads, Lieberman said.
Councilwoman Christine Wozniak said she
would like to provide a way for all members of
the public to engage in the survey through
comment on the citys website while the poll
is being conducted.
Addressing infrastructure repairs was a core
platform during the last council election and
clearly the community wants the city to
invest in its property; its now just a matter of
gaining voter support, Lieberman said.
Prior to the recent restructuring of the City
Council, there was never enough council sup-
port to propose a ballot measure to residents,
Lieberman said.
Councilman Charles Stone congratulated
staff for determining a way to reach out and
empower the public.
Outreach, outreach, outreach is the answer
and the extent that were proposing to
involve the various stakeholders is fantastic.
... If were going to gain the condence of the
public, its going to be through outreach,
transparency and engagement, Stone said.
Putting a revenue measure on a ballot is
new tactic for the city to assume; but after
identifying about $140 million in deferred
improvements, it needs citizen support, said
Thomas Fil, Belmonts nance director.
Its a question of not having adequate
resources in order to keep up with the need. So
its quite common to ask the voters to partic-
ipate in providing revenue to maintain infra-
structure. So thats what were going to
explore, Fil said.
The multi-million dollar repair list includes
city storm drain systems, buildings, sewers,
parks and most notably, Belmonts deterio-
rating streets, Fil said.
In 2012, the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission graded Belmont streets at a 57,
one of the lowest throughout the Bay Area.
Because major repairs cost ve to 10 times
more than routine maintenance, these streets
are at an especially critical stage. Roadways
with pavement condition index scores of 50
to 59 are deemed at-risk ... these roads
requires major rehabilitation or reconstruc-
tion, according to the MTC.
Other Bay Area cities with poor quality
street conditions have successfully nanced
repairs through ballot measures, according to
the MTC.
Most cities pavement maintenance needs
have far outstripped available funds for many
years. ... But weve also seen that big
improvements are possible if local voters
decide streets and roads are an important civic
priority, according to the MTC.
Depending on the results of the poll,
Belmont could benet from following suit by
asking residents to contribute to repairing
their city, Fil said.
Regrettably, we dont have the tax base to
do this on our own, so thats why we need the
assistance of the voters in this regard. ... I
expect the [pollster] results will indicate that
theres some interest, Fil said.
At the behest of the council last night, an
ad hoc advisory committee comprised of
councilmen Stone and Eric Reed, two nance
commissioners, the city treasurer, the city
manager and other staff was created to oversee
the polling process. If there appears to be
clear public support after the survey is con-
ducted and analysed, the council will consider
presenting voters with a ballot measure in the
upcoming June or November elections.
In other business, the council also voted to
enter into an agreement with Crystal Springs
Uplands School to conduct environmental
review of its proposed Belmont campus.

residential units, an extended stay hotel and
retail on 10 acres. It calls for 263 dwelling
units, 136,600 square feet of commercial
space, 84,880 square feet of retail space and
110 hotel rooms. The project would dis-
place several hundred of BARTs existing
surface parking spaces and would affect
existing SamTrans bus parking and service.
However, the details regarding the amount
of parking that will be replaced and the
potential relocation of the bus intermodal
facility to the west side are to be deter-
mined, according to the report.
At this point its really just beginning
the process, said Michael Van Every, pres-
ident and managing partner for Republic
Urban. We really would like the opportuni-
ty to get going with this. There are some
fantastic opportunities to attract new busi-
nesses to Millbrae. We intend to prove eco-
nomically this works for the city.
The second application is coming from
Serra Station Properties and is on a portion
of Site One comprising the old Millbrae
lumberyard and Serra Convalescent Home.
The proposal is for a mixed-use project con-
taining office, multi-family residential
units and commercial space on 3.5 acres.
The proposal offers a variety of building
options, including one that follows the cur-
rent area specific plan and would build
271,868 square feet of office space and
24,220 square feet of retail space. Other
options include modifying the plan and
including 500 dwelling units, 916,000
square feet of ofce space, 75,000 square
feet of retail space and 134 hotel rooms,
according to the report.
The amendments requested relate to allow-
ing building heights to be raised to the
maximum permitted by the Federal Aviation
Administration, increasing land use density
or the oor area ratio, allowing for a form-
based code based on physical form to be
applied and other changes. The city is using
the Planning Center | Design Community
and Environment, the citys consultant on
the project site, in charge of project man-
agement based on the companys work on
similar projects along the Peninsula.
Due to the signicance of these projects
regarding the land use, trafc/circulation,
scal/nancial and public impacts, signi-
cant emphasis in the analysis of these proj-
ects will be devoted to: market area trends
and scal impact, circulation system model-
ing, a master EIR and public outreach, the
report states.
Both projects received Notices of
Determination of Completeness Jan. 3 for
having complete applications, including
all required application forms, drawings,
notations and fees. TPC | DC&E will be in
charge of guiding a technically sound and
time-sensitive amendment and environmen-
tal review process, working with all parties
to dene a locally benecial and regionally
valuable district, providing technical infor-
mation and unbiased recommendations,
providing solutions to potential conicts,
organizing research and preparing docu-
ments, facilitating community outreach and
assessing public input, along with educat-
ing and presenting to the public, Planning
Commission and the City Council.
Former mayor Gina Papan said develop-
ing the land is very important to the city
and Millbrae is not sustainable at this
point.
Development in this area is vital to our
future, she said. We need to try to maxi-
mum any revenue ... in this area.
There will also be two public meetings to
identify community issues, but more could
be added if the city deems it necessary. The
tentative deadline for nalizing the amend-
ments to the area specic plan and EIR is
December 2014. The $899,686 costs will
be split between the two applicants, 55 per-
cent for Republic Union and 45 percent for
Serra Station on the basis of the maximum
development square footage requested and a
costs share for the BARTAccess Plan.

W
hy do we never see fresh
spring rolls stuffed with
chicken?
We see shrimp and vegetarian and
even crab. But never chicken. And
thats a shame, because the ingredi-
ents in a fresh spring roll usually a
blend of vegetables and noodles,
often some avocado, maybe some
mint, all wrapped in tender rice paper
arent all that far removed from the
usual chicken salad ingredients.
And then there is the dipping sauce.
There are plenty of variations, but
spicy peanut sauce is among the most
common. And chicken certainly gets
along well with peanut sauce.
So I decided to take spring rolls in
a fowl direction. When paired with
crunchy jicama, carrots and cucumber,
the chicken shines as a spring roll
lling. Add fresh mint and a deli-
ciously sweet-and-sour spicy peanut
sauce, and you have the makings of a
ne Asian-inspired meal.
When soaking the rice wrappers, do
them one at a time. And dont soak
them longer than suggested or they
will fall apart. The rice noodles and
wrappers can be found in the Asian or
international aisle of most grocers.
This recipe is an excellent way to
use up leftover roasted or grilled
chicken. And if you have no leftovers
or are short on time, just grab a rotis-
serie chicken.
CHICKEN AND
JICAMA SPRING
ROLLS WITH
PEANUT SAUCE
Start to nish:
30 minutes
Makes 12 rolls
For the dipping
sauce:
1/4 cup smooth
natural peanut
butter
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice or cider vinegar
Hot sauce, to taste
For the spring rolls:
2 ounces dried bean or rice thread
noodles
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and
halved lengthwise
4-ounces peeled jicama root
12 large rice-paper wrappers (8-
inch round or larger)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 avocados, pitted and thinly sliced
1 pound cooked boneless, skinless
chicken breast meat, pulled or cut
into strips
12 large fresh mint leaves
To make the dipping sauce, in a
medium bowl stir together the peanut
butter, jam, soy sauce and vinegar.
Season with hot sauce, then set aside.
Place the noodles in a bowl and
cover with hot water. Soak for 5 min-
utes, or until softened. Drain well in a
mesh strainer and set aside.
Use a spoon to scrape out and dis-
card the seeds from the cucumber
halves. Cut each piece into thin
strips. Set aside. Cut the jicama into
thin slices, then cut each slice into
thin matchsticks.
Fill a large bowl (at least several
inches larger than the rice wrappers)
with warm water. Soak 1 wrapper in
the water until just barely softened,
about 10 seconds. Carefully remove
the rice wrapper from the water and
lay at on the counter. Place a small
bundle of noodles along one edge of
the wrapper. Top the noodles with a
bit each of cucumber, jicama, carrots,
avocado and chicken, then top with a
mint leaf.
Roll the wrapper, starting with the
lling side, folding the ends over the
llings as you roll to form a tight
cylinder. Repeat with the remaining
wrappers and llings. Serve with the
dipping sauce.

Tex-Mex meets comfort
for Super Bowl favorite
By Alison Ladman
Most classic Super Bowl party grub generally can be clas-
sied one of two ways spicy Tex-Mex or basic comfort.
And since theres already a lot of crossover between those
categories, we decided to embrace them and create a Super
Bowl party dish that combines the best qualities of both.
We drew our inspiration from shepherds pie and a Tex-Mex
taco. The result is a casserole that starts with a layer of chili,
then adds a layer of cornbread. After it has baked, the casse-
role gets nished with all the standard Super Bowl ingredi-
ents guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese and olives.
You could even add some refried beans or shredded lettuce and
pico de gallo.
CHILI CORNBREAD PIE
Start to nish: 50 minutes (20 minutes active)
Servings: 10
For t he chi l i :
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
16-ounce jar salsa
1 chipotle pepper, minced (from a can of chipotles in
adobo)
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in
adobo)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
For the cornbread:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose our
1 cup corn meal
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3 scallions, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed (optional)
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos, lightly chopped
For serving:
1/2 cup guacamole
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a deep 9-by-9-inch pan with
cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef until
browned, about 8 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, salsa, chipo-
tle, adobo, chili powder, cumin and paprika. Bring to a simmer
and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then
spoon the chili into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
To make the cornbread topping, in a large bowl stir
together the our, corn meal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Add
the melted butter, whisking as you add it. Gently stir the liquid
mixture into the dry mixture. Fold in the scallions, corn (if
using) and jalapenos. Spoon the cornbread mixture over the
chili and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Spoon into bowls and
garnish with guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese.

that need to be taken care of and the cur-
rent rent doesnt support that.
Theres about $20,000 left on the
Lesley Towers mortgage and it would be
allowed to draw from its equity if it fol-
lows HUD guidelines; including resi-
dents pay a third of their income toward
rent, Lambert said.
HUD funded the property on the prem-
ise it would remain as affordable hous-
ing. Now that the mortgage is almost
paid off, this is another way for it to
ensure the building will continue to
serve low-income seniors, Lambert said.
Our mission is to provide affordable
housing [HUD] wants to know how
we plan to survive another 50 years as
an affordable housing service,
Lambert said.
But following HUD guidelines may
mean some residents will end up paying
more for the rental of their studio or
one-bedroom apartments. According to
the LSC website, residents currently
pay as low as $421 for a studio and up to
$828 for a one-bedroom in the property
nestled up against San Mateos Central
Park on Laurel Avenue.
Under the HUD program, apartment
rates will be raised to fair market value,
about $1,191 for a studio and $1,551
for a one-bedroom, according to an
informational handout provided by LSC
at Mondays meeting. Under HUD
guidelines, those who qualify will pay a
third of their income with the remainder
being subsidized by the program.
Residents income varies signicant-
ly; some residents see less than
$10,000 per year and others upwards of
$90,000, Lambert said. Under HUD
guidelines, an individual who makes less
than $62,050 will pay no more a third of
their rent; however, most residents will
see an increase in their rent unless they
make less than $21,600 per year.
The cost of living in San Mateo
County is extremely high and, as an
affordable senior housing facility,
Lesley Towers needs to serve those who
would otherwise struggle to live in the
area, Lambert said.
We really attempt to house people
with incomes that make it difcult to
live in the county, Lambert said.
For some residents, their rent will
actually decrease due to Lesley Towers
participation in the HUD program,
Lambert said.
Between $35,000 monthly utility
bills and the need to update the proper-
t y, infrastructure repairs would not be
possible without this loan, Lambert
said.
Although residents dont pay any
utility bills, their tenancy is condition-
al upon participating in a $297 per
month meal program, an expense that
is not deductible or included in their
new rental rates.
Residents are now required to submit
yearly nancial information document-
ing their gross income to establish
their HUD eligibility. They will, how-
ever, be allowed to deduct an array of
medical expenses, which can be
extremely high for the elderly.
Any veried medical expense can be
used as a deduction, said Galyn Evans,
LSC occupancy specialist. We have
people here in this building that some-
times have more than $5,000 a year in
medical expenses. So it can substan-
tially reduce their rent.
The majority of those who have
signed up are considered very low-
income and are eligible for subsidies,
Lambert said.
Norma Turner, 85, has been living at
Lesley Towers for 15 years. She helps
man the front desk and has made many
friends during her residency.
I dont think my rent will be raised.
Ive enjoyed living here all these years
and I hope to continue to live here,
Turner said.
Jean Williams, 94, has lived at
Lesley Towers as long as her close
friend Turner. The cost of living in San
Mateo is extremely high and, although
there is a good deal of uncertainty with
the new program, she has high hopes,
Williams said.
LSC wants seniors to have the oppor-
tunity to live at Lesley Towers for as
long as they desire and, thanks to a
grant, will be converting the second
oor to assisted living apartments,
Lambert said. Yet construction has been
put on hold until HUD funded construc-
tion is completed, Lambert said.
Theresa Menzel has enjoyed 11 years
at Lesley Towers and hopes the new pro-
gram will allow her to remain within
her budget.
It makes me nervous, because the
whole idea of living here is because its
supposed to be low rent, Menzel said.
LSC is committed to providing
affordable housing for seniors as they
age. But keeping up the property is a
necessary expense if it plans on contin-
uing for future generations of the coun-
tys elderly population, Lambert said.
I imagine its not going to be easy
in the short term for the residents,
Lambert said. But in the long term, for
the residents and for those who will suc-
ceed them, it will be better.
RENT
The project, approved by the Board
of Trustees Jan. 8, is set to cut the
schools electrical energy consump-
tion in half. The current cost of con-
sumption is about $583,000 a year.
The installation of ground-mounted
solar panels on a 3.5-acre vacant proj-
ect site is set to begin in early April,
with a groundbreaking ceremony and
will take about three to four months,
said Jos Nuez, vice chancellor of
facilities planning and operations.
Caada was selected since its the
southern most district campus, with the
warmest weather for generating heat for
the panels. Its also the least visually
obtrusive to neighbors, Galatolo said.
The timing for the project was per-
fect since the recent Proposition 39
gives the district $554,000 in funding
and the California Solar Initiative will
provide about $866,775 in rebates
over a ve-year period, Nuez said.
Karen Powell, director of facilities
maintenance and operations, said the
majority of the projects funding is
coming from money accumulated over a
10-year period from energy efciency
rebates.
This came at a good time, Powell
said. I think we got one of the very
last rebates reserved. Its not clear if
the energy commission will continue
the program (the California Solar
Initiative) because the sense is the
solar industry is well established now.
We were also the only district in the
state to get Prop. 39 funds for solar.
Proposition 39, the California Clean
Energy Jobs Act passed in 2012, allo-
cates revenue to local education agen-
cies to support energy efciency and
alternative energy projects. Powell
said the district likely received the
funds for solar through Proposition 39
because the infrastructure for energy
efciency is already in place.
The approximately one megawatt
Solar Photovoltaic System was part of
the 2011 facilities master plan for the
school. The goal of the project is to
utilize available space to produce the
maximum annual amount of energy
from the allowable capacity of 1.2
megawatt direct current solar photo-
voltaic installation to reduce operating
costs. The Solar Photovoltaic System
will tie into the existing main power-
house located at the north end of the
project site. The project also includes
installation of a 6-foot black chain-
link security fence around the perimeter
of the panels and three 12-foot high
poles along the western side of the site
north end, middle and south end
to support motion-activated, down-
ward-directed security lights and cam-
eras.
Nuez said the panels make sense as
a next step since schools in the district
have been updating their infrastructure
over the last eight to 10 years. During
the last decade, operating costs have
been reduced through swapping out
more than 9,000 light xtures on all
three district campuses, replacing boil-
ers and other measures. These changes
have reduced energy consumption by
$2 million annually, he said.
There is always room for
more energy efficiency
though, he said. There will
soon be a request for propos-
al to replace road and parking
lighting metal halide-metal
lights with more efficient
light-emitting diode, or
LED, ones.
In terms of solar projects,
the district is just focusing
on Caada for now, Powell
said.
The district prepared an
initial study/draft of a miti-
gated negative declaration
finding that, although the
proposed project could result
in potentially significant
effects on the environment,
there will not be a signicant
effect in this case because
mitigating measures will be
incorporated into the project
description.
There will be a ribbon cut-
ting upon completion of the
project in late June or July,
Nuez said.

DISPLAY ON CHANGES PROPOSED FOR SR 92-82
INTERCHANGE
CALTRANS (California Department of Transportation)
proposes to modify the State Routes 82 (SR 82) and SR 92
interchange to reduce traffic congestion, bottlenecks, weaving
and queuing spillback at the interchange on and off ramps. The
purpose of this project is to increase performance at the on and
off ramps and to address the secondary operation deficiencies on
the SR 92 mainline. This would entail widening the existing
ramps and reconfiguring the existing interchange from a full
cloverleaf to a partial cloverleaf.
CALTRANS has studied the effects this project may have on the
environment. Our studies show it will not significantly affect the
quality of environment. The report that explains this is called an
Initial Study with Proposed Negative Declaration. This notice is
to tell you of the preparation of the Initial Study with Proposed
Negative Declaration and of its availability for you to read and to
offer a public open house (map display) to attend.
Maps for the Proposed Negative Declaration and Initial Study,
and other project information are available for review and
copying at the CALTRANS District 4 Office, 111 Grand
Avenue, Oakland, California, on weekdays from 8:00 AM to
5:00 PM. The Initial Study with Proposed Negative Declaration

FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT
AND
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
January 15, 2014
Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo
264 Harbor Blvd., Bldg. A
Belmont, CA 94002
This Notice shall satisfy the above-cited two separate but related procedural notification require-
ments for activities to be undertaken by the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about January 31, 2014, the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo will submit a
request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of 33
Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers as authorized by the United States Housing Act of 1937, Sec-
tion 8(c)(9), as amended, to undertake a project known as Foster Square Affordable Senior
Housing for the purpose of providing affordable housing to seniors.
Mid-Peninsula The Farm, Inc. proposes to develop a half-acre on a portion of a vacant 15-acre
site in Foster City, adjacent to Foster Citys City Hall. Located at the southwestern corner of Fos-
ter City Blvd. and Balclutha Drive, the development will be comprised of ground level commercial
and retail space and 66 affordable senior housing units contained in a four-story building. The
ground floor space will accommodate meeting rooms, office space, computer lab, laundry, fitness
room and other amenities and approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space. The second floor
will have a landscaped terrace available for private tenant use as well as residential units. The
third and fourth floors will contain residential units. Parking for residents will be provided on an
adjacent surface parking lot to the east of the site. There are 39 dedicated spaces for residents
and an additional 316 general parking shared spaces.
The approximately 10,000 square feet of ground level commercial space will be owned and man-
aged by The New Home Company and will most likely attract retail tenants in the casual dining
category.
There will be 65 one-bedroom units in three floor plans. A total of 47 units will be 593 square feet
in size; 12 units will be 562 square feet; and 6 units will be 613 square feet in size. One two-bed-
room unit will be 793 gross square feet in size.
Total project cost is estimated to be $26,661,101 from all funding sources.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo has determined that the project will have no
significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project
information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Housing Au-
thority of the County of San Mateo, 264 Harbor Blvd., Bldg. A, Belmont, CA 94002, and may be
examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the
project may submit written comments to Debbie McIntyre, Administrative Services Manager,
Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo, 264 Harbor Blvd., Bldg. A, Belmont, CA 94002.
All comments received by 5:00 PM on Thursday, January 30, 2014 will be considered by San
Mateo County prior to submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify
which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo certifies to HUD that William Lowell, in his ca-
pacity as Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo, in his capacity
as NEPA Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is
brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these
responsibilities have been satisfied. HUDs approval of the certification satisfies its responsibili-
ties under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows San Mateo County to use Program
funds.
OBJECTIONS
HUD Office will accept objections to the Responsible Entitys (RE) Request for Release of Funds
and Environmental Certification for a period of fifteen days following the submission date speci-
fied above or the actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following
bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer or other officer of the Hous-
ing Authority of the County of San Mateo approved by HUD; (b) the RE has omitted a step or
failed to make a determination or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 or by
CEQ regulations at 40 CFR 1500-1508, as applicable; (c) the RE has omitted one or more steps
in the preparation, completion or publication of the Environmental Assessment or Environmental
Impact Study per 24 CFR Subparts E, F or G of Part 58, as applicable; (d) the grant recipient or
other participants in the development process has committed funds for or undertaken activities
not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before release of funds and approval of the environmental cer-
tification; (e) another Federal, State or local agency has submitted a written finding that the proj-
ect is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared
and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Section 58.75) and
shall be addressed to Maria Cremer, Office of Community Planning and Development, U.S. HUD
San Francisco Regional Office, Region IX, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA
94107-1300. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection
period.

By Hamza Hendawi and Maggie Michael
CAIRO Areferendum on a new consti-
tution laid bare the sharp divisions in
Egypt six months after the military
removed the elected Islamist president,
with pro-army voters lining up Tuesday
outside polling stations, singing patriotic
songs, kissing images of Egypts top of-
cer and sharing upbeat hopes for their trou-
bled nation.
Sporadic violence ared across much of
the country, leaving 11 dead, with protest-
ers burning tires and pelting police with
rocks and rebombs creating just enough
tension to keep many voters at home.
Still, the rst of two days of voting yield-
ed telling signs that the national sentiment
was overwhelmingly behind military chief
Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, whose possible
presidential run later this year has grown
more likely by the day. That a career army
ofcer might be Egypts next president has
raised questions about the future of democra-
cy in Egypt, but it also speaks to the fatigue
felt by most Egyptians after three years of
deadly turmoil and economic woes.
Standing in line to cast his ballot, Ismail
Mustafa said he was voting yes in the
hope of ending the turmoil that has engulfed
Egypt since the 2011 ouster of the coun-
trys longtime autocratic ruler Hosni
Mubarak.
This is it, we have had it. I will vote
yes even if it is the last thing I do,
Mustafa declared outside a Cairo polling
station.
This weeks balloting is a key milestone
in a military-backed political roadmap
toward new elections for a president and a
parliament after the July 3 coup that left the
nation sharply divided between
Brotherhood supporters in one camp, and
the military and security forces in another,
backed by a large segment of the population
that is yearning for stability after three
years of turmoil.
Egypt vote lays bare sharp, post-coup divisions
Israeli defense chief
comments spark spat with U.S.
JERUSALEM An Israeli newspa-
per quoted the defense minister
Tuesday as deriding U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerrys Mideast peace
efforts as naive and foolhardy, trigger-
ing an angry response from
Washington and rekindling simmering
tensions with Israels closest and most
important ally.
The quotes appeared ahead of another
visit by Kerry, who is expected in the
region in the coming weeks to deliver
his ideas on a framework for peace
between Israel and the Palestinians.
Kerry has already submitted to Israel a
series of proposals for ensuring
Israels security as part of a future
peace deal.
In the comments
published by the
Yediot Ahronot
daily, Defense
Minister Moshe
Yaalon called Kerry
obsessive and
messianic and
dismissed Kerrys
security plan as
worthless.
The only thing that might save us
is if John Kerry wins the Nobel Prize
and leaves us be, Yaalon was quoted as
saying.
Mexico forces face off
with vigilantes after clash
APATZINGAN, Mexico Mexican
soldiers and federal police kept a tense
standoff with vigilantes Tuesday after a
new government campaign to stop
violence in western Michoacan state
turned deadly.
There were widely varying reports of
casualties. Associated Press journal-
ists saw the bodies of two men report-
edly killed in a clash that began late
Monday between soldiers and towns-
people in Antunez and spoke with the
family of a third man that said he also
died in the incident. No women or
children died, contrary to reports by
the spokesman for one of self-
defense groups that have sprung up
over the past year to challenge a drug
cartel.
