Three bids for Harbor Districts post office lot


Concerns over buyers, community benefit, how dirt property will be used
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After more than 60 years of


owning a 2.5-acre dirt lot, the San
Mateo County Harbor District
may move forward with deciding
to which three prospective buyers
it will sell the El Granada post
office lot.

On Wednesday, the Board of


Commissioners will review proposals from two public agencies
and a private seafood wholesaler
that have made offers on the longvacant property with no sewer or
water connections and has a split
zoning commercial and the
unique El Granada gateway requiring a community benefit.

The Harbor District sat stagnant


on the land since the Italian widows of two fishermen donated it in
1953; but the property has generated quite an interest since it went
on the market at an $850,000 asking price in April, said Realtor Jan
Gray, who represents the district.

Granada Community Services


District and the Hayward-based
Global Quality Foods have each
made offers and, based on the fact
no bank would lend on a property
without water or sewer infrastructure, the winner will likely be paying cash, Gray said.

The Coastside Fire Protection


District, the newly revamped

The Harbor District will be discussing the price, terms of pay-

ment and sale at its board meeting


Wednesday night and Gray said
shes fairly confident a decision
and announcement will be made.
But soon-to-be harbor commissioner Tom Mattusch, who ousted
Commissioner Will Holsinger in
the November election, is con-

People in downtown San Mateo make their way through Tuesdays storm. Forecasters say to expect rainy weather
through at least Thursday.

Storm soaks Bay Area

With the latest preliminary


FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map
available to city staff, Burlingame
officials are concerned property
owners could be faced with covering costly flood insurance and see
more difficult building requirements, while at the same time officials believe the information used
to create the maps may not be
sound.
Although the preliminary maps
wont be released to the public
until June 2015, city staff received

information from the Federal


Emergency Management Agency
that indicates that there are
approximately 210 commercial
properties and 22 residential properties, the majority of which are
east of Rollins Road, that will be
added to the Special Flood Zone
Areas. These high-risk areas are
defined as any land that would be
inundated by a flood having a 1
percent chance of occurring in a

referred to as a 100-year flood.

Final voter turnout 46.3 Lawmakers push


percent, lowest in 64 years for changes to
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In line with widespread predictions of historically low voter turnout, the final tally of
San Mateo Countys participation is substantially less than the last gubernatorial
election four years ago and the lowest return
in at least 64 years.
The Nov. 4 general election had 46.3 percent of San Mateo Countys registered voters participating, according to Chief
Elections Officer Mark Church.
Our staff went back 64 years and stopped
counting, Church wrote in an email to the
Daily Journal.
After election night ended with less than a
third of voters counted, local elections officials estimated that, even after the outstanding ballots were included, turnout would fall
below 40 percent. The certified results
announced by Church Monday cemented the
conclusion and showed a stark contrast to
the Nov. 2, 2010, election which ended the
night with 47.4 percent and finally settled
at 65.3 percent with every ballot counted.
However, the county still finished
stronger than the state. As of Monday, the
California Secretary of States Office reported statewide turnout of 42.2 percent, less
than the last record low of 50.6 percent in
2002.
Church cited several factors in voters
failure to participate including a popular sit-

ting governor and low


interest in the ballot
measures.
The San Mateo County
certified results also
show an ongoing trend
of absentee voting. Of
the 164, 453 ballots
case, 109,419 were vote
Mark Church by mail, 978 were early
votes and 54,056 were at
polls a 2 to 1 split between absentees and
the traditional mode of voting.
Local officials were also faced with another trend: permanent absentee voters dropping ballots off at polling locations on
Election Day which left a mountain of them
to count for days after the polls closed. In
San Mateo County, 28,049 absentee ballots
were dropped off at polls. That total was
more than half of the ballots cast at polls
and more than quarter of all mail ballots
cast, Church said.
Provisional ballots cast on Election Day
accounted for 6,248 votes.
The official results, known as the
Statement of the Vote and including a breakdown of votes by precinct and voting
method,
is

Jail officer in court for alleged contraband


By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The veteran correctional officer facing the


most charges in a jail contraband conspiracy case in which an incarcerated Hells Angel
allegedly arranged for cellphones and drugs
to be smuggled inside pleaded not guilty
Tuesday.
George Ismael, 40, is charged with conspiracy to bring an unauthorized communication device into the jail, conspiracy to
obstruct justice, conspiracy to furnish controlled substances to in-custody inmates and
a gang enhancement.
Prosecutors say three female relatives of
inmate Dionicio Rafael Lopez Jr., 26, provided Ismael with Oxycontin and two cellphones which he then smuggled into the
Maguire Correctional Facility.
The women Leticia Lopez, 55, Amanda
Lopez, 25, and Rosanne Ingebretsen, 28
also face charges in the case as do fellow
correctional officer Michael Del Carlo and
sheriffs Deputy Juan Pablo Lopez.
On Tuesday, Ismael pleaded not guilty to
his charges and was ordered back to court
Dec. 19 to set a preliminary hearing date.
Each of the defendants arrested last month
have been arraigned at different times so the
goal is getting them matched up on the same
schedule for a preliminary hearing and eventually trial, District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.

Meanwhile,
Ismael
remains free from custody
on $100,000 bail.
Defense attorney Erin
Dervin declined to comment on her clients case.
Dionicio Lopez was in
custody awaiting trial on
assault and gun charges
George Ismael for allegedly shooting
into a Daly City home
that he erroneously thought housed a rival
but instead held two young children.
Between April 2013 and December 2013,
Dionicio Lopez, Del Carlo and Juan Lopez
allegedly conspired with the women to
sneak in the contraband. An internal tip at
the jail and discovery of a phone during a
cell search reportedly prompted the 10month investigation which began within
the Sheriffs Office and was transferred to
the District Attorneys Office because Juan
Lopez was running against Sheriff Greg
Munks in the June primary.
Juan Lopez, 50, is a 26-year employee
who transfers inmates. Ismael has 15 years
of service as a correctional officer and Del
Carlo, 43, has 19 years. At least one of the
officers received payment for helping,
according to prosecutors.
All three are on administrative leave.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Democrats in the state


Senate released a plan Tuesday to avoid
tuition increases at the University of
California by directing more money to the
system and charging a higher rate to out-ofstate students.
The proposal released by Senate President
Pro Tem Kevin de Leon focuses on increasing
slots at both the UC and California State
University systems while improving degreecompletion times.
His plan calls for increasing UC enrollment by 5,000 and CSU enrollment by
10,500 for the 2015-16 school year as a way
to boost the number of transfers allowed from
community colleges.
The proposal came amid rising anger over
a decision by the UC Board of Regents to
increase tuition as much as 5 percent each of
the next five years unless the state approves
more money for the 10-campus system.
Hundreds of students have participated in
protests at various campuses, with
University of California, Berkeley students
planning another rally later Tuesday.
UC President Janet Napolitano welcomed
SB15, the Senate Democrats bill authored by
Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego.
The bill introduced today is a promising
first step toward making sure that public
higher education benefits Californians today
and for generations to come, and we look forward to working with Senate Democrats and
other elected officials to secure the state funding essential to this end, Napolitano said.
The plan by de Leon, D-Los Angeles, follows one announced Monday by Assembly
Speaker Toni Atkins. She called for implementing so-called zero-based budgeting for
the UC, a process that would force the university each year to justify its spending.
Lawmakers have been critical of the UC system in part because they say its board has

resisted efforts to reduce costs.


Atkins, D-San Diego, also released an earlier proposal calling for the repeal of the
tuition increases. Her plan calls for adding
$50 million to the UC systems budget from
the states general fund and increasing Cal
Grant financial aid.

SENATE DEMOCRATS:
Increase UC enrollment by 5,000 and CSU enrollment by
10,500 for the 2015-16 school year as a way to boost the
number of transfers allowed from community colleges.
Establish a Completion Incentive Grant to CSU students
to complete 30 units a year. The cash award would provide
$1,000 the first year, $1,500 the second year and $2,000 the
third year.
Add 7,500 Cal Grant Competitive Awards for nontraditional
students and people returning to school. Increase Cal Grant
Access Awards for community college students.
Dedicate $25 million each to UC and CSU to increase course
offerings.
Provide $50 million each to UC and CSU to increase student
support services.
Repeal an 11 percent Cal Grant cut for students attending
private, nonprofit universities that is scheduled to take effect
next year.
How it would be funded:
The Senate Democrats plan would be funded through a
mix of increased state money, boosting tuition for out-ofstate students by $4,000 a year and redirecting money from
the Middle Class Scholarship program. The plan would
provide a total of $342 million in the 2015-16 fiscal year.
ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATS:
Increase UC enrollment of California students by 10,000
over five years by adding 2,000 per year.
Increase Cal Grants for lower-income families.
Accelerate the implementation of the Middle Class
Scholarship by more than 20 percent next year.
Cap enrollment of out-of-state students at 2014-15 levels.
Get the UC to adopt remaining provisions of the states
pension reforms for new employees.
Increase the amount faculty members devote to teaching
instead of research and limit salary increases for
administrators.
Implement so-called zero-based budgeting for the UC, a
process that would force the university each year to justify its
spending.
HOW IT WOULD BE FUNDED:
The Assembly Democratic plan would increase UC funding
by a total of $150 million. Specifically, it calls for increasing
state support by $50 million and raising another $100 million
by increasing tuition for out-of-state students by $5,000 a
year.
CSU also would receive additional state funding, but an
amount had not been provided.

hotel guest who said they awoke in the
middle of the night after hearing a
noise. The guest said he got out of bed
to use the bathroom and turned the
lights on to find his suitcase had been
rummaged through, Neary said.
Police are unsure exactly how
Fitzpatrick got into the room as the
guest said hed secured the door before
going to bed; however, Fitzpatrick
stated the door was wide open and
Neary said there was no sign of forced
entry.
Fitzpatrick was also charged with
vandalism because he forced himself
into a storage area at the hotel, Neary
said.
Fitzpatrick made his first court
appearance Friday where he pleaded not
guilty to two felony counts for the burglary and vandalism, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Fitzpatrick is currently in custody
on $50,000 bail and is set for a preliminary hearing Dec. 8, Guidotti
said.

Rec worker takes plea


deal for snagging class fees
A Menlo Park recreation center
worker accused of pocketing the $8 fee
paid by dance class students pleaded
no contest to misdemeanor embezzlement in return for two days jail and 18
months court probation.
Michael Benjamin Thulander, 48, of
San Mateo, was immediately sentenced after changing his plea the
morning his jury trial was scheduled to
begin.
Thulander worked at the front desk
of the Arrillaga Family Resource
Center and took roughly $200 worth
of fees before being caught, according
to prosecutors who say he took the
money but never actually registered
the students paying for the dance
class.
He must surrender to the county jail
Jan. 24 and remains free from custody
on his own recognizance.

Lottery ticket worth


$410K sold in San Bruno
A lottery ticket sold at a store in San

Local government sites


affected by global cyber attack
A global cyber attack Monday shut
down Web access to agendas, minutes
and video for numerous Bay Area government agencies, including in San
Francisco, Burlingame and Belmont.
The San Francisco-based company
Granicus, which provides Web services for government agencies nationwide, reported the outage just before
noon Monday.
The company posted updates on the
outage on its website, reporting that
it was caused by a global distributed
denial of service attack, where a system is overloaded with connections
from different systems on its name
server vendor.
Granicus downtime appears to be
related to an attack that affected
DNSimple, a Florida-based company
that reported on its website it was
overwhelmed by the voluminous
attack despite measures in place to
deal with such attacks.
The attack affected systems worldwide, according to DNSimple.
Shortly after midnight Tuesday,
Granicus reported the problems had
been resolved. In a letter to clients, it
said the outages appeared to be intermittent, with some people seeing no
issues and others seeing some or all
services as being down.
The companys local clients include
the California Public Utilities
Commission, Alameda County, and
the cities of San Francisco, Pinole,
Monterey,
Cupertino,
Napa,
Martinez, Walnut Creek, Petaluma,
Lafayette, Fairfax, Burlingame and
Belmont.

A second request was made by the
suspect to send an additional $250 in

North County Fire Authority firefighters responded Tuesday morning
to a fire at a hotel in Pacifica, fire officials said.
The fire was reported at 8:59 a.m. at
the Pacifica Motor Inn at 200
Rockaway Beach Ave.
When firefighters arrived, they saw
smoke exiting the third floor of the
hotel. When they entered the room
where the fire was burning, they found
the flames partially extinguished by
the hotels sprinkler system.
Firefighters extinguished what
remained of the fire and found no victims inside.
According to the fire authority, no
civilians or firefighters were injured
and the hotel remained open. The
hotel moved guests whose rooms were

GOP seeks year-end plan on funding, immigration


By David Espo and Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Year-end holidays beckoning, House Republicans struggled


Tuesday to coalesce behind a plan that
avoids a government shutdown next week
and simultaneously challenges President
Barack Obamas decision to spare millions
of immigrants from deportation.
A separate bipartisan bill to extend
dozens of expiring tax breaks was on a more
certain track for approval, even though it
would increase federal red ink by an estimated $44 billion over a decade. Republicans
supported it, although they intend to mount
a strong anti-deficit campaign next year,
and the White House signaled that Obama
would sign the one-year measure after
threatening to veto a longer-term version.
Taxes, spending and immigration are the
dominant issues in the final few weeks of a
two-year Congress that has been a hothouse
for partisan gridlock and that seemed on
track for one final showdown if not more.
After meeting privately with the House
GOP rank and file, Speaker John Boehner of
Ohio said Obamas actions on immigration
were a serious breach of our Constitution.
The administration countered. The reality is that, for decades, presidents have used
executive authority to enhance immigration
policy, Secretary Jeh C. Johnson of the
Department of Homeland Security told a
skeptical House committee. He said he was
fully comfortable that the president had
acted within his authority in directing federal agencies not to make a priority of deporting immigrants in the country illegally, as
long as they were otherwise law-abiding.
Republicans were unsparing in their

denunciations of the presidents actions,


although some also said their chances of
staying Obamas hand would be stronger
after the party takes control of the Senate in
January. I think they understand its going
to be difficult until then, Boehner said after
his meeting with GOP legislators.
Some conservatives spoke against a leadership-backed plan to provide funding for
nearly the entire government through
September without gaining immigrationrelated concessions in return. The cavalry
is coming, said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio,
indicating the party shouldnt give up significant leverage before it takes control of
the Senate.
There were other priorities as one
Congress neared an end and another waited
in the wings.
House and Senate negotiators reported
agreement on a sweeping defense bill. It ratifies Obamas expansion of the U.S. military mission in Iraq and allows the Pentagon
to train moderate Syrian forces, steps
designed to counter Islamic State militants.
Separately, Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid worked to confirm dozens of Obamas
nominees before Democrats lose their
majority. A pair of ambassadorial picks won
confirmation during the day, with three judicial nominees and a spate of Energy
Department appointees on track to follow
later in the week.
A long-running dispute between the parties over Obamas judicial appointments
prompted Reid and the Democrats last year
to weaken the minority partys ability to
block confirmations. As a result, it is
unclear how inclined Republicans will be to
approve presidential appointments next
year.

Likely Pentagon nominee


earned stripes quiet way
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON No household name,


Ashton Carter has earned his stripes in the
national security trenches the quiet way. For
decades he has toiled as a defense thinker and
strategist, nuclear expert, three-time
Pentagon executive, budget guru and academician.
He never served in the military or in
Congress, unlike many defense secretaries,
including the man he would replace if
President Barack Obama nominates him as
Chuck Hagels successor. But he spent a lot of
time with troops during his 2011-2013 stint
as deputy defense secretary and has built relationships with an entire generation of military leaders during his years in the Pentagon.
Administration officials said Tuesday that
Carter, 60, is expected to be Obamas nominee, putting him in line to take over a farflung, hard-to-manage department that has
had an uneasy relationship with the White
House.
Obama spokesman Josh Earnest stopped
short of confirming that the president had
made a decision, yet praised Carter effusively
for serving very, very ably at the Pentagon

previously and noted he


had been easily confirmed
by the Senate before.
This is an indication
that he fulfills some of the
criteria that weve discussed in the past,
Earnest said. He is somebody who definitely
deserves and has demonAshton Carter strated strong bipartisan
support for his previous
service in government.
Administration officials said Obama could
announce his nominee as early as this week.
The officials insisted on anonymity because
they were not authorized to discuss the presidents decision-making process publicly.
Carter would likely face a welcoming
Senate confirmation hearing, unlike Hagel.
As the nominee in February 2013 Hagel was
hammered with sometimes sharp questioning
that seemed to throw him off balance and raise
doubts about his competence. Carter, however, would be tackling a pile of security problems at least as high as those Hagel took on,
beginning with the further development of a
strategy to degrade and eventually defeat the
Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.

Lebanon says it has detained wife of IS leader


By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Lebanese authorities detained


a woman and young boy believed to be the
wife and son of the reclusive Islamic State
group leader, and were questioning the
woman and conducting DNA tests on the
child, senior Lebanese officials said
Tuesday.
If their identities are confirmed,
Lebanon may use the pair as bargaining
chips to win the release of soldiers and
police taken hostage by the extremists in
cross-border attacks earlier this year.
The woman, who was identified as an
Iraqi, and the child were taken into custody
about 10 days ago while carrying fake ID
cards, the officials said.
Very little is known about Islamic State
group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadis personal life, including how many wives and
children he has. Conservative interpretations of Islam allow men to marry up to

claimed responsibility for the methodical
massacre in northern Kenya early Tuesday
10 days after a similar attack on a bus that
killed 28 and it prompted President Uhuru
Kenyatta to shake up his national security
team amid public outrage over the continuing violence.
I know we are all under a lot of pressure,
but I appeal to each one of us: This is not a
time to be cowed by the enemy, Kenyatta
said in a nationally televised address.

In March, the Nusra Front freed more than


a dozen Greek Orthodox nuns in exchange
for the release of dozens of female prisoners by the Syrian government. A woman
named Saja al-Dulaimi was reportedly on
the list of prisoners freed by Damascus.
A judicial official said the interrogation
of the woman was being supervised by
Lebanons military prosecutor, Saqr Saqr,
and that a DNA test was underway to confirm that the child is her son. Experts said
it would be difficult to confirm whether the
woman is indeed al-Baghdadis wife.
It was unclear what would have brought
the woman and child to Lebanon, where IS
controls no territory and enjoys only
small although growing support in
some predominantly Sunni Muslim areas.
The detentions added to the mystery that
continues to surround al-Baghdadi, who
has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head.
He has only made one known public
appearance a sermon he delivered in
July at a mosque in Mosul just days after IS
declared him the head of an Islamic state,
or caliphate, in the territory the group controls in Syria and Iraq.
Last month, Iraqi officials claimed he
was wounded in an airstrike. The U.S. has
not confirmed those reports, and alBaghdadi released a new audiotape days
after he was purportedly hit.

NATO steps up to Russia,


but back from Afghanistan
By John-Thor Dahlburg and Lara Jakes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS NATO nations on Tuesday


agreed to bolster its defenses against
Russian aggression, continuing the military alliances return to its founding mission by focusing on nearby threats as it
steps back from more than a decade of combat in Afghanistan.
The 28 member countries approved a new
interim quick-reaction military force to protect themselves from Russia or other
threats, with an initial unit to be up and running next year, NATO Secretary-General
Jens Stoltenberg said. The interim force will
be supplanted in 2016 by a permanent one,
Stoltenberg said.
We are protecting our allies and supporting our partners, Stoltenberg told reporters
at an annual meeting of NATOs foreign
ministers.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged
diplomats from other nations to contribute
their fair share to the alliance, noting we
cant have 21st century security on the
cheap.

It was likely to be the last meeting of foreign ministers who oversaw the
International Security Assistance Force,
made up largely of NATO troops, which has
sought to stabilize Afghanistan since shortly after the 2001 invasion.
In one way or another, we have been tested repeatedly by those who want to divide
us, or to cause us to retreat from the basic
commitments that we have made to one
another both within and beyond the
NATO arena, Kerry said. These tests are
difficult, and they will continue to be difficult in the new year. But history has shown
just how tough the alliance of free nations
can be.
The ministers also authorized the launch
of an advisory mission in Afghanistan on
Jan. 1, when NATO-led combat operations
there are scheduled to end.
We are determined to master our destiny,
to overcome our past, Afghan President
Ashraf Ghani said.
The foreign ministers also approved
maintaining measures through 2015 initiated to reassure NATO nations nearest Russia,
Stoltenberg said.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Wednesday Dec. 3, 2014

Nonproductive protests

he right of assembly to
express grievances has been
inherent to the values of this
nation from the beginning. And in
the case of the grand jury decision in
the Michael Brown case, it is apparent that many disagreed and want to
express their views in public.
However, there are productive ways
to express an opinion and there are
nonproductive ways. The point of any
protest is to draw attention to a cause
and that can be done in many different
ways. Destroying property and providing disruptions to the lives of
everyday people is not in the best
interest of any.
Many people in this nation disagreed with the grand jurys decision
while many people in this nation
agreed. Many take solace in the fact
that we have a system in which these
decisions can be made by a collection
of citizens rather than a sole district
attorney. Others believe the system is
gamed and justice is not part of the
equation.
In Ferguson, Missouri, the protest
can be seen as understandable and
even expected. There are nuances to
the case that we, on this side of the
nation, do not understand. And yet
some believe we do because we have
been following it through newspapers, television and social media. The

Editorial
protests seem to have quieted and the
next steps entail a signicant amount
of communication and, hopefully,
healing.
Regardless of your thoughts on the
case, there is a lingering sense that
race is a signicant portion of the
issue at least as it pertains to what
happened in Ferguson. And that is
something we should explore as a collective people in a deliberate and
respectful way.
What is not respectful is shattering
the windows of shops in the Mission
District in San Francisco on Black
Friday after police turned protesters
away from Union Square. Or smashing
in car windows, setting re to debris
and looting. The shutdown of BART
on Friday also caused distress for regular folk just trying to go about their
day, though that protest both started
and ended peacefully. Protest by its
very nature is aimed at drawing attention, which these did. However, there
is a ne line between drawing attention and drawing ire. It also doesnt
help locally that the organizers of the
protests both in Oakland and San
Francisco have an agenda that is not
peaceful and centers largely on a

political goal of making the United


States a Communist nation. Thats
been the case for years and professional protesters who focus on
anonymous thuggery and destruction
do so for any reason and not
because of the issues brought up by
the Ferguson case. Besides, the Black
Friday protests were unclear what they
were about. Was it a protest against
the grand jury decision in Ferguson?
The police? Consumerism? Wall
Street again? When it comes to
protests in the Bay Area, this disorganized thinking and messaging is an
unfortunate fact. And when it devolves
into unnecessary and unfortunate violence against innocent people, the
messaging is obtuse and, quite
frankly, wrong.
In 1964, the same year the Civil
Rights Act was passed, Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. said the following:
Nonviolence is a powerful and just
weapon, which cuts without wounding
and ennobles the man who wields it.
It is a sword that heals. King attracted worldwide attention to one of the
20th centurys greatest causes through
nonviolent, organized and thoughtful
means. It would be helpful if there was
someone of Kings caliber today to
lead a much-needed deliberate,
respectful and exigent discussion
about the actual issue at hand.

Tempted to move to Palo Alto

A high school for San Carlos?

Editor,
Palo Alto is an attractive place to
live. The city continues its quest to
improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.
A new law to restrict e-cigarettes
and expand the existing smoking ban
in Palo Altos downtown, businesses,
restaurants and elsewhere will be considered very soon.
Palo Alto is also going to take
another look at providing citywide
high-speed ber Internet connection
and a wireless network.
You can patronize its great selection of restaurants and window shop
University Avenue without fear of
being run over by a careless biker
because riders are required to walk
their bikes.
Nothing is perfect of course. Many
benches at the edge of their clean
sidewalks are usually occupied by
poor sleeping souls hardly aware of
the hustle and bustle around them.
Now $10 million should buy me a
nice xer-upper close to downtown.

Editor,
Thanks to the Sequoia Union High
School District for their proposal for
a new high school in San Carlos San
Carlos may get high school in the
Nov. 26 edition of the Daily Journal.
A dream for many present and future
San Carlos parents may now become
reality.
Perhaps a full edged state-of-theart high school can be totally realized
through additional nancial help from
private Silicon Valley companies.
This new school could also benet
their workforce in the future.
Maybe our city planners can now
move this needed proposal to the
front burner.

the House, which represents every
district in the country, over 400
folks. The other half is the Senate,
100 folks, two per state.
The House is led by the Speaker and
is controlled by Republicans, because
they are the majority. The Senate is
led by Sen. Harry Reid, a Democrat,
and the Senate majority is Democrat.
Most bills originate in the House
and, when passed, they go to the
Senate. The bill is then worked out
and, if passed, it goes to the president
to be signed or vetoed.
Now heres the problem, the House
has sent over 350 bills to the Senate
and do you know what? Sen. Harry

they havent even looked at them.

Foodstuff?
I

n nutrition circles, when the causes of obesity


are discussed, there is no single product
among the 60,000 items sold in the grocery
store that is considered more evil, more directly responsible for the crisis than soda. Michael Moss, Salt,
Sugar and Fat.
In spite of the fact that the food industry has the upper
hand when it comes to what most Americans eat, there may
be a wee bit of hope. There was at least one good thing that
came out of the Nov. 4 election the tax on sugary drinks
in Berkeley. Not a lot, mind you, but possibly the beginning to greater awareness of the way these products jeopardize health. Whether the tax passed because of how it adds
to the citys revenue, or that a lot of people in Berkeley are
with it enough to avoid using such products because of their
contents, its a step in the right direction (Too bad diet
sodas, etc. werent included on the ballot).
By now, everyone should
know that sugary drinks
are best avoided, but its a
message that bears repeating, again and again, especially when it comes to our
childrens health. Not only
do they replace nourishing
foods in the diet, the
amount of sugar and other
additives contribute to
health problems such as
obesity, diabetes, etc. Of
course, if most people
eschew these products, there
wont be as much added to
the coffers of the city, but it would be the best thing to
come out of the campaign. If you must have a cold, carbonated drink, try a juice drink like Crystal Geysers Juice
Squeeze which contains all natural ingredients, including
the sugar, which, we are told, is the natural component of
the fruit.
While were at it, Ill list some foods that those concerned with eating healthfully would avoid as much possible. If you nd the recommendations to cook from scratch
using organic foods too overwhelming, or learning to prepare new dishes with ingredients youve never heard of, you
can improve your diet considerably by simply avoiding
certain products. Here are a few that can make a big difference in the quality of your meals and your health if you
make it a point not to eat them.
l). Start with those sugary drinks and also include the diet
types that contain sugar substitutes that have been questioned for years.
2). Canned products. The BPA (bisphenol A) is the epoxy
lining of most metal cans is a synthetic estrogen-like substance linked to obesity, prostate cancer, etc.
3). Any product that contains articial food colors and/or
avors like many ready-to-eat cereals, candy, frostings, ad
nauseam. Its helpful to keep in mind what Jonathan
Wright, M.D. wrote in Eating Clean for Dummies: If you
cant pronounce an ingredient on a food label, dont eat that
food. The American food supply contains more than 14,000
articial chemicals. You may not be able to avoid all of
them, but you can certainly cut down on these products in
your kitchen and in your stomach.
4). White bread and other products made with white our
like cake, cupcakes, doughnuts, etc. which, like any food
thats highly processed, are depleted of the nutrients and
the ber that whole grains provide. Be sure to include those
empty-calorie delights that the Pillsbury doughboy promotes regularly on TV.
5). Hot dogs, sausages, bacon and other processed meats.
The regular eating of such products has been found to be
linked with heart disease and colon cancer. Sodium nitrate
and nitrite react with compounds in meat to form
nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic. Wright.
Eating healthfully isnt as difcult as you might think if
you take one step at a time. While were at it, you may be
interested in the 10 best foods according to the Center for
Science in the Public Interest. All are very nutritious. They
are: sweet potatoes, mangoes, unsweetened Greek yogurt,
broccoli, wild salmon, crisp breads like Wasa, RyKrisp,
etc., garbanzo beans, watermelon, butternut squash and
leafy greens.
Remind yourself regularly that in fabricating and advertising the products that bring in the bucks, the industry has
no interest in whether they contribute to our health and
well-being. Next time you may have a yen for a sugary
drink, just think what that $10.4 million spent by the soda
industry to try to defeat the Berkeley initiative could have
done to feed Californias 527,000 homeless and hungry
children.
There is one nal factor in the food industrys singleminded pursuit of sales above consumer welfare. In the heat
of competition, they look past the health impact of their
products. The soda industry has been particularly adept in
the art of willful blindness. Moss.

NEW YORK Energy and healthcare companies led major stock indexes higher on Tuesday, even as crude oil
resumed its slide. General Motors rose
after reporting stronger sales, and
Biogen, a biotech company, soared
following news that its drug for
Alzheimers disease showed promise.
Reports that fewer people turned out
to shop over the Thanksgiving weekend helped knock the market down on
Monday. But those concerns were
likely overblown, as other evidence
suggests that people simply wanted to
avoid the crowds at Black Friday sales,
said Brad McMillan, the chief investment officer at Commonwealth
Financial. IBM Digital Analytics, for
instance, said that sales on Cyber
Monday jumped 8 percent.
I think what youre seeing is a little reality settling in, McMillan
said. Look at Cyber Monday numbers. You see that and say hmm,
maybe its not going to be so bad after
all.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 13.11 points, or 0.6 percent, to
2,066.55.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 102.75 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 17,879.55, while the Nasdaq composite rose 28.46 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,755.81. Oil and gas compa-

nies led nine of the 10 industries in


the S&P 500 higher.
The one economic report out
Tuesday gave investors some encouragement. Newly built houses and
schools lifted U. S. construction
spending in October to the highest
level since May, the Commerce
Department said. Overall construction
spending climbed 1.1 percent, higher
than economists forecasts.
General Motors posted solid sales
gains in the U.S. last month, helped
by discounts and falling gas prices.
GMs sales climbed 6 percent to nearly 226,000 in November. The carmakers stock gained 32 cents, or 1 percent, to $33.26.
Among other companies making
big moves, Avanir Pharmaceuticals
soared on news that Otsuka
Pharmaceuticals of Japan plans to buy
the company for $3.5 billion. Under
the terms of the deal, Otsuka would
pay Avanir investors $17 per share in
cash. Avanirs stock jumped $1.92, or
13 percent, to $16.92.
Crude oil prices resumed their long
slide, falling $2. 12 to settle at
$66.88 a barrel in New York trading.
The slump has rippled throughout
financial markets in recent weeks,
putting stress on oil-exporting countries such as Russia. On Tuesday,
Russias government forecast that the
countrys economy will shrink next
year. That helped send Russias curren-

cy down 5 percent against the dollar


and drive its RTS stock index down 3
percent.
The economic conditions Russia is
facing right now are aggressively
against its economy, said Jameel
Ahmad, Chief Market Analyst for
FXTM.
Elsewhere in Europe, Germanys
DAX slipped 0. 3 percent, while
Frances CAC 40 inched up 0.3 percent. In the U.K., the FTSE 100 index
of leading British shares gained 1.3
percent.
In Asia, Japans Nikkei rose 0.4 percent. In China, the Shanghai
Composite Index climbed 3 percent,
and Hong Kongs Hang Seng added 1.2
percent.
Traders will have a batch of economic news to digest over the rest of the
week. On Thursday, the European
Central Bank meets to discuss whether
the regions flagging economy needs
more support. On Friday, the U.S.
Labor Department releases its look at
employment in November, a report
that often sends markets swinging.
In other trading on Tuesday, government bond prices fell, pushing the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note up
to 2.29 percent.
Prices for precious metals sank.
Gold dropped $18. 70 to settle at
$1,199.40 an ounce, while silver slid

Promotions, gas prices boost U.S. auto sales


By Dee-Ann Durbin and Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT American shoppers passed


on the malls and headed to the car dealerships over Thanksgiving weekend.
Black Friday promotions coupled
with falling gas prices, low-interest loans
and hot new vehicles drove U.S. auto
sales higher in November, kicking off
whats expected to be a strong holiday season.
Subaru and Chrysler led the major
automakers with sales increases around 20
percent on strong demand for their small
SUVs. It was Subarus best November ever
and Chryslers best November in 13 years.
General Motors, Toyota, Honda and
Volkswagen also reported gains. Sales fell
at Ford, Hyundai and Nissan.

Automakers to jointly probe Takata air bags


By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT At least seven automakers are


teaming up to find the cause of a problem
with air bags used in their vehicles and how
many cars to recall because of it.
Inflators in certain air bags made by the
Japanese supplier Takata Corp. can explode
with too much force and spew shrapnel into
the passenger compartment.
So far, 14 million vehicles worldwide
have been recalled due to the problem,
including 8 million in the U.S. Takata has

yet to pinpoint a cause, even though the


recalls started a decade ago. The U.S. government wants Takata and automakers to add
millions of cars across the U.S. to recalls
currently limited to areas with high humidity. The automakers indicated Tuesday that
they want to do their own testing, in addition to tests underway at Takata.
Toyota and Honda are leading the call for
an industrywide investigation. In a statement, Toyota said it will ask the industry to
hire an independent engineering company,
and the affected companies would share
results to figure out recall repairs. So far,
General Motors, Nissan, Subaru, Chrysler

and Ford have agreed to cooperate. One auto


industry analyst suggested the automakers
feel Takata is taking too long to find the
cause.
The announcement came as Takata edged
closer to a midnight deadline to agree to a
national recall of drivers air bags or face
civil fines and legal action from the
National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration. The agency said Tuesday
that it has yet to receive a response.
Some of the biggest recalls so far have
been limited to high-humidity areas in the
Southern U.S., plus Hawaii and some territories.

buying site Kelley Blue Book estimated


that 25 to 30 percent of Novembers new
vehicle sales happened over the holiday
weekend thanks to a flurry of Black Friday
promotions. Because the holiday came late
in the month, buyers also benefited from
dealers usual month-end sales push.
New vehicle sales rose 5 percent to 1.3
million, according to Autodata Corp. It
was the second-fastest monthly sales pace
this year, after August.
Sales are on track to end the year at
around 16.5 million, said Jesse Toprak, a
senior analyst with Cars.com. Thats up 6
percent from 2013.
In November, buyers looking for really
good deals could find them on outgoing
2014 models, while others snapped up
2015 models that are just arriving in dealerships, like the new Ford Mustang and
Toyota Highlander.

OAKLAND Legendary Apple CEO Steve


Jobs had seven words for a subordinate when
he learned that a rival company was about to
introduce a program that would let music
fans buy songs anywhere and play them on
Apples iPod devices.
We may need to change things here,
Jobs said in a terse, 2005 email that was
shown to jurors in federal court Tuesday, on

the opening day of trial in a billion-dollar


antitrust lawsuit that accuses Apple Inc. of
using unfair tactics to maintain its dominance in the digital music business.
Attorneys for an estimated 8 million consumers and iPod resellers say Jobs email
spurred an internal campaign to keep
Apples popular iPods free of music that wasnt purchased from Apples own iTunes
store. By updating the iTunes and iPod software to block music from competing online
stores, Apple maintained a closed system

that discouraged consumers from buying


competing music players, plaintiffs attorney Bonny Sweeney argued Tuesday. That
froze out makers of rival devices, and
allowed Apple to sell iPods at inflated
prices, she told jurors.
Plaintiffs attorney Patrick Coughlin also
showed jurors a 2003 email from Jobs, written about the launch of another competitors
online music store, which said, We need to
make sure that when Music Match launches
their store, they cannot use iPod.

Curry makes magic in last-second win


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors coach


Steve Kerr saw the look in Stephen Currys
eyes and the bounce in his step as he sprinted with the ball in transition.
I was thinking, Dont call timeout, Kerr
said.
Good move, Coach.
Curry made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.2
seconds remaining, sending the Warriors to a

thrilling 98-97 win over the Orlando Magic


on Tuesday night for their 10th straight win.
I wanted to go to my left down the middle
and go to the basket and maybe get fouled or
something, but he kind of bit on the in-andout move and I was able to get a rhythm shot
in transition, Curry said.
In the most dramatic finish to their streak,
Curry lost Tobias Harris with some crafty
dribbling before pulling up to swish the
shot. Curry shook his shoulders and pounded
his chest as the announced sellout crowd of

19,596 roared at noisy Oracle Arena.


Its just kind of a rush that every player
loves to experience, Curry said. Especially
at home when youre able to do that and get a
huge win, you remember those moments.
Draymond Green, who sprained his right
thumb in the first quarter, deflected Kyle
OQuinns pass to Harris on Orlandos last
possession to preserve Golden States streak.
Curry finished with 22 points and five
assists, and Klay Thompson scored 20 as the
Warriors rallied from nine points down in the

final four minutes.


The Warriors (15-2) extended the best start
in franchise history and moved within one
game of matching the team record for consecutive victories set in the 1971-72 season.
They have not lost since Nov. 11 to the
defending champion San Antonio Spurs and
are finding ways to win even when theyre
not at their best.
Thats what the good teams do, said
Warriors center Andrew Bogut, who had

Searching for
Rory McIlroys
modern rival

In Game 2, the game was over, Notre


Dame head coach Jen Agresti said. It didnt
go our way and unfortunately that was a big
momentum swing. We needed that Game 2.
Sonora never again trailed in the match,
going on to win it 15-25, 28-26, 25-23,
25-20.
We dont play at this level all the time,
Sonora head coach Kim Evans said. We
kind of have to rise to the occasion. It definitely took us a little while into our rhythm
of things. We were at this (Nor Cal championship) match a year ago. Our girls really

ordan Spieth took a big step in


Australia for his confidence and
career. It was a mere baby step,
however, toward being a legitimate rival
to Rory McIlroy.
Then again, hes in good company.
Golf thrives on
good rivalries, even if
they are one-sided,
and most of them are.
That could be the case
with McIlroy, who at
25 already has won
four majors. Tiger
Woods, Jack Nicklaus
and Bobby Jones were
the only other players
to have that many
majors at such a
young age. Boy
Wonder also has 14
wins around the world.
Even with that landslide win in the
Australian Open, and with one of the
great closing rounds of the year, Spieth
still only has two victories.
Thats as many as Rickie Fowler.
And Jason Day.
Patrick Reed has three victories. He can
rightfully claim to be among the top five
in the world, but only if hes talking
about five players in the same age group
as McIlroy with the potential to challenge him over the next decade.
Rivalries arent restricted to age, of
course. Nicklaus was 10 years younger
than Arnold Palmer (and wound up winning 11 more majors). Tom Watson was
nine years younger than Nicklaus. The
next four players behind McIlroy in the
world ranking Henrik Stenson, Adam
Scott, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia
are all about a decade older.
Woods is in a league of his own. There
remains potential for a rivalry, though
Woods is an old 39 because of mounting
injuries. Woods is very much like Nicklaus,

NDB falls in Nor Cal finals


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

No sooner did the Sonora Golden


Regiment Band march into Moore Pavilion
did the Sonora Wildcats seize control of the
Nor Cal championship match.
The No. 2-seed Wildcats (36-5) brought a
talented and raucous pep band with them, but
their volleyball team proved even more talented in dismantling top-seed Notre Dame
Belmont in the California Interscholastic
Federation Northern California Division IV
title match Tuesday night.
Notre Dame (35-7) seemed in control

through a 10-point victory in Game 1.


Thats when the Golden Regiment marched
in and set up shop, however. By Game 2, the
visiting pep band was in full swing with
roughly 50 members, including 20 percussionists proving a booming soundtrack
as Sonora turned the tide in Game 2.
In the second set, Notre Dame forced three
match points with a 24-21 lead. Sonora roared
back on a quick service run by star libero
Bailey Henington though to force overtime;
and on the second match point for the
Wildcats, junior middle Kelsie Evans produced
a clutch block against Notre Dames fiercest
hitter Katie Smoot to close the pivotal set.

Senators press NFL, others on domestic violence


By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Members of the Senate


Commerce Committee chastised the commissioners of the NFL, Major League
Baseball, NBA and NHL for skipping a hearing Tuesday on domestic violence in pro
sports, with one saying the absences reflect
a lack of focus on the issue.
They were all asked to be here, and leadership does start at the top. And I do think
that its pretty convenient that none of

them were able to appear


today, said Sen. Kelly
Ayotte, a Republican
from New Hampshire.
That does say something about: How big a
commitment is there
going to be on this?
Instead
of
Commissioner
Roger
Kelly Ayotte
Goodell, for example, the
NFL sent Troy Vincent, the executive vice
president of football operations, who ignored

questions from reporters after the hearing and


was led away by league employees. During his
prepared testimony, Vincent a former player choked up while saying abuse was a way
of life in his home when he was growing up
because his mother was beaten.
Domestic violence has become a main
topic of conversation across the sports
landscape in recent months, particularly in
light of the case of former Baltimore
Ravens running back Ray Rice. He punched
his then-fiancee now wife in a casino
elevator and originally was suspended by

Goodell for two games, then barred indefinitely after graphic video of the fight was
released by TMZ. Eventually, though, that
second punishment was erased by an arbitrator when Rice appealed.
Vincent was asked Tuesday why the NFL
didnt try harder to obtain the video from
inside the elevator. He replied, I dont
think there was a need, and said the league
should have handed Rice a tougher punishment to begin with.

season, as the team finished the year with the
nations best record, a No. 1 ranking and a
Pac-12 championship. The junior averaged
12.02 assists per set this season to lead the
nation. Her 59 assists Oct. 31 in a four-set
win was her season-high. She currently ranks
fifth all-time on the Stanford list for career
assists with 3,572.
University of Washington senior Krista
Vansant earned her second consecutive Pac12 Player of the Year award. The Redlands
native earned the 10th Pac-12 Player of the

Week award of her career


this season, an all-time
record. She ranked third in
the Pac-12 with 4.65
kills per set and sixth
with .28 aces per set. She
also was named the Pac12 Scholar-Athlete of the
Year, making her the first
player in conference hisMadi Bugg
tory to win both awards.
Three other Cardinal were named to the AllPac-12 Conference team, including two of
Buggs fellow juniors, Jordan Burgess and
Inky Ajanaku. Freshman Merete Lutz also
earned first-team honors. Three Cardinal
earned honorable mention nods, Morgan
Boukather, Kyle Gilbert and Brittany Howard.

For Burgess, a junior outside hitter, the allconference nod is her third in three years. She
has been a force as a six-rotation player, leading the Cardinal with 16 double-doubles this
season. She averaged 3.11 kills per set this
season and currently has 984 kills in her
career. With 16 more, she will become the
ninth Stanford player ever to reach the 1,000kill plateau.

wanted it. It was kind of a case of first-set jitters, but it turned into first- and the firsthalf-of-the-second-set jitters.
In Game 3, it looked as though the Tigers
were poised for a comeback. They rallied
from a 20-16 deficit to tie it; after Jessica
Beering fired one of her 11 match kills to
force a side out, Smoot scored back-to-back
kills followed by a service ace by Katarina
Warburton. But the front-row defense of
Sonora stepped up in the person of senior
middle Savannah Lawrence, who tabbed two
blocks down the stretch to seal the set, giving Sonora a 2-1 advantage in the match.
Were in the [West Coast Athletic
League]. We deal with Mittys blocking, we
deal with Cathedrals blocking, Valley

Christians blocking. So, were used to seeing humungous blocks, Agresti said. At
the end of the day, we tightened up. Instead
of attacking them, we started going on the
defense and let them attack us.
By Game 4, the Sonora defense seemed
nearly impenetrable. The Wildcats scored 13
blocks in the match, including two in the
final set by senior Angela Gardella.
I give credit to their block. They were
great, Notre Dame junior Tammy Byrne
said. They were up on all [of our attackers]
and personally, I didnt know how to get
around it.
Notre Dame opposite hitter Maggie
McDonald did the best to solve the block
with four of her 12 match kills in the final
set. But Sonora broke an 18-18 tie on one of
Shannon Friends match-high 16 kills and
went on a 7-2 run to end it.
And the Golden Regiment played long
after the Nor Cal championship trophy was
presented to Sonora.

Its not the best feeling in the world,


Byrne said of watching the Wildcats claim
the trophy. But they played good. They
deserved to that honor. I was happy for
them, but I definitely think we could have
been the ones getting the trophy.
Byrne was one of three players along with
Smoot and McDonald to pace the Tigers with
12 kills. McDonald scored seven kills in
Game 1, when Notre Dame looked destined
to make the trip to Santiago Canyon
College for Saturdays state championship
game. That honor too, however, belongs to
Sonora. The Wildcats will take on Southern
California champion Alta Loma in the
Division IV postseason finale.
Agresti remained composed while addressing the media just after addressing her team
with many of the players in tears.
Theyre really upset and I told them, You
have every right to feel upset. Because they
lost a big game, Agresti said.

I told the young kids that are returning,


Use this to make you better. Use it to learn
and to push you harder. You cant win
everything. A lot of our players are competitive players that win a lot. And you dont
always win them.
Last year, Sonora advanced to the Nor Cal
championship match but was defeated by
Menlo School. This year, the Wildcats
returned nine players from last seasons Nor
Cal runner-up squad, including five starters.
They were hungry, Evans said. Just like
Im sure [Notre Dame is] going to be hungry
next year.

Nietos late goal sails Sharks past Flyers 2-1


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE One game after Matt Nieto


broke a long drought with an empty-net goal,
he delivered one that was much more important.
Nieto scored the tiebreaking goal with 11.5
seconds remaining to lead the San Jose
Sharks to their first consecutive wins in more
than a month with a 2-1 victory over the
Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.
Even though it didnt seem like much, it
was huge confidence-wise, Nieto said of the
empty-net goal Saturday. You know, they
come in bunches and Ive been patient all
year, sticking to my game. Im glad to see its
paying off.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored and Antti
Niemi made 28 saves for the Sharks, who last
won back-to-back games Oct. 26-28 against
Anaheim and Colorado.
Both two-game winning streaks followed
skids of four games as San Jose has gotten off
to a slow start this season.
This team has always been streaky, for-

ward Tommy Wingels


said. When we win a couple, streaks build on top
of each other. This team
can reel off five, six,
seven, eight in a row.
Thats what were going
to try to do here.
Sean Couturier scored
for the Flyers, who have
Matt Nieto
dropped eight straight
road games for their longest skid away from
home since March 1998.
Steve Mason made 25 saves as
Philadelphia lost for the ninth time in 10
games.
I think we controlled the game and played
one of our best games of the year, captain
Claude Giroux said. The results wont show
how we played. I think we are in a tough
stretch right now. When things like this happen with 12 seconds to go, we have to stick
together.
Nieto forced a turnover at center ice on the
game-winning play, leading Patrick Marleau
in on a partial breakaway. Mason made the

initial save but was knocked out of the play


by teammate Braydon Coburn as Wingels
went for the rebound.
Nieto then knocked the loose puck into the
empty net for his second goal in two games.
He hadnt scored since the season opener
before getting one Saturday against Anaheim.
When youre not scoring, the general rule
of thumb is go to the net and good things will
happen, Nieto said. I know I tried to get
there as fast as I can and luckily the puck
bounced right there for me.
Mason had no chance to stop Nietos gamewinner as he was far out of position.
They got two or three whacks at it and I
was able to make the first save but was put in
a position where I couldnt get back and make
the second or third save, he said. So the second or third one went in. We just made a mistake at the wrong time.
The Sharks played most of the third period
without center Logan Couture, who went to
the dressing room after a hard collision with
Michael Raffl and did not return. Couture went
through the concussion protocol and will be
re-evaluated Wednesday.

PHILADELPHIA Harvey Pollack is the last original NBA


employee, the man who scribbled 100 on a piece of paper for
Wilt Chamberlain to hold in the classic 1962 snapshot of his
record scoring game.
So how about it, Harv: Any need to make another 100 sign
for Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown?
It wont be that high, the 92-year-old Pollack said of
Phillys latest skid. But I dont know when theyll win again.
No one does.
Thats the scary part with the Sixers just one loss shy of
matching the worst start in NBA history, already at 0-17.
Still, as the final seconds ticked down in Philadelphias 109103 loss to San Antonio on Monday night, one fan speedwalking toward the exit stopped when he saw Sixers CEO Scott
ONeil applauding the effort from the third row.
Together we build, the man yelled. I dont care what anybody says, I love it.
ONeil shook his hand and smiled, somehow finding one
more happy customer in yet another season stuffed with miserable losses, with no guarantee of ever turning around under the
current front offices watch.
In the fourth quarter, this crowd is on their feet yelling
Defense, defense, defense. ONeil said. Its enough to give
you the chills.
Imagine his reaction if the Wells Fargo Center was ever close
to full. The Sixers are 29th out of 30 teams in attendance with a
14,237 per-game average. Not surprising for a franchise that
has gone on losing streaks that would make the Washington
Generals blush.
The Sixers are just the fourth team in league history to open
with 17 losses. The 76ers can tie the Nets for the worst start in
NBA history on Wednesday at Minnesota, and then break the
record at home Friday against Oklahoma City.
Aaron Wingert, a season-ticket holder for five years, pumped
his fists until the final horn Monday night. With a courtside
seat, Wingert had good reason to stick around even for the
repeat view of dejected Sixers trudging back to the locker room.
Wingert says hes too loyal to give up on the team.
Its hard to root, he said. But you cheer them on, you
believe in the plan, you believe in ownership. They won me
over, for right now. But lets see something.

Gordie Howe suffers


significant stroke

Peterson doesnt testify at appeal hearing

By Betsy Blaney

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LUBBOCK, Texas Hockey Hall of Famer


Gordie Howe has suffered his third stroke
since late October and was hospitalized early
this week, his daughter said Tuesday.
Cathy Purnell said her father suffered a
significant stroke on Monday. Howe was
stable and a little bit alert Tuesday morning, and doctors at a Lubbock hospital
where he was taken were scheduled to do
additional tests, she said.
The man known as Mr. Hockey set NHL
marks with 801 goals and 1,850 points,
mostly with the Detroit Red Wings, records
later broken by Wayne Gretzky.
Purnell said therapists who have been
tending to Howe arrived at her house
Monday morning and discovered him nonresponsive in bed. Howe remained that way
until evening, when Purnell said he recognized family members once he became alert.
Howe suffered what his children called a
serious stroke in late October and another in
early November. He has been staying at his
daughters home in Lubbock.
She said the family wants to get the 86year-old Howe back to her house as soon as
possible.

By Rob Maaddi
NEW YORK Adrian Peterson did not
testify at his appeal hearing Tuesday,
according to a person familiar with the case.
Peterson gave a statement, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because neither
side is discussing the case publicly.
Peterson left without comment after
spending more than three hours at the hearing. His attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, said only
that the hearing will continue Thursday.
The proceedings were held before longtime hearing officer Harold Henderson.
Peterson is seeking reinstatement after NFL

Commissioner
Roger
Goodell suspended him for
the rest of the season for
violating the leagues personal conduct policy.
Peterson will not be considered for reinstatement
before April 15.
The 2012 NFL MVP
hasnt
played for the
Adrian Peterson
Minnesota Vikings since
Week 1 after he was charged with child abuse
in Texas. He was placed on paid leave while
the legal process played out, and he pleaded
no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless
assault for injuring his 4-year-old son with a
wooden switch.

The NFL Players Association called the punishment unprecedented, arbitrary, and unlawful. The union is arguing that Peterson should
get credit for time served on the exempt list.
The NFLPA submitted a tape of a conversation between Peterson and Troy Vincent
in which the NFLs executive vice president
of football operations tells Peterson he
would be credited with time served and
receive a two-game suspension if he attended a disciplinary hearing Nov. 14 with
Goodell. Peterson skipped that meeting.
The union wants Henderson to compel
Vincent to testify Thursday. Vincent testified in Washington on Tuesday before a
Senate Commerce Committee hearing about
domestic violence in professional sports.

Ray Rice tells Today show he had one bad night


By Rob Maaddi
Ray Rice says that an NFL team would have
to be willing to look deeper into who I am and
realize that me and my wife had one bad night.
I took full responsibility for everything
that I did, the former Ravens running back
told NBCs Today show Tuesday, and the
only thing I can hope for and wish for is a
second chance.

An arbitrator threw out Rices indefinite suspension last Friday, making him a free agent.
But no franchise may be willing to sign the
three-time Pro Bowl pick after seeing the inelevator video of Rice striking his-then
fiancee, who is now his wife.
If I never play football again, Ill be
honest with you, I would adapt into life and
I would sacrifice more so she can have a better future, Rice said while standing next to
his wife and her parents.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell originally suspended Rice two games but
increased the punishment after the video
from February was made public Sept. 8.
Baltimore released Rice that day.
Rice played in two preseason games for the
Ravens this year. His last carry was a 6-yard run
against San Francisco on Aug. 7. Rice, who
turns 28 in January, had his worst season as a pro
in 2013. He averaged a career-low 3.1 yards per
carry and ran for 660 yards.

NBA Players Association Executive Director
Michele Roberts was the only head of any of

investigations, independent of police;
whether coaches or other team personnel are
required to report instances of illegal conduct to law enforcement; and what sort of
help is provided for abuse victims.
Youve got to understand that the status
quo is not acceptable. ... I think you all

know that in your hearts, said Sen. Claire


McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat. There
will be more accountability in the future.
During the hearing, Sen. Richard
Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat,
announced he was introducing legislation
to end the leagues permanent antitrust
exemptions, while Sen. Cory Booker, a
New Jersey Democrat, said its ridiculous
that the NFL enjoys tax-exempt status.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the West Virginia
Democrat who chairs the committee, said he
called for the hearing because until very recently, the leagues records have not been good on

the issue, and they have done little or nothing


in response when players have been charged or
convicted for domestic violence.
There were some contentious moments
involving the NFLPA, including when Sen.
Dean Heller, a Nevada Republican, said:
When youre worried more about getting
back on the field, instead of stopping
abuse, your priorities are out of order.
Later, during an exchange with the
NFLPAs deputy managing director, Teri
Patterson, Heller said: Youre either for
stopping sexual assault, domestic abuse and
child abuse or youre not.

Congress giving Woods returns with an eye to the past


golfer Nicklaus
highest honor
By Doug Ferguson

COLUMBUS, Ohio Golfing great Jack


Nicklaus will receive Congress highest civilian honor, the Congressional Gold Medal.
Legislation authorizing the award for
Nicklaus cleared Congress
late Monday and now
awaits the signature of
President Barack Obama.
Nicklaus says hes humbled and honored to be
among those whove been
awarded the medal. Past
recipients include Rosa
Parks, Robert Frost, Joe
Jack Nicklaus Louis
and
Neil
Armstrong.
Nicklaus was born and raised in Ohio near
Columbus. He won a record 18 major golf
championships during his career.
He says golf has allowed him and his wife
Barbara to found the Nicklaus Childrens Health
Care Foundation and to help others in need.

the only golfers to get both awards.

GOLF
Continued from page 11
who had a revolving door of rivalries
throughout his career Ernie Els, David
Duval, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh. Theres
still time to add McIlroy to that list.
As golf winds down another season, one
question for next year is which player in
his 20s might emerge as a rival to McIlroy.

WINDERMERE, Fla. Tiger Woods is


making his latest comeback in golf with an
eye to the past.
Equipped with a new teacher and a stronger
body, Woods said Tuesday he is working on a
swing that incorporates previous moves that
date as far back as his amateur days. He
referred to it as new, but old, and the 14time major champion will start testing it this
week against an 18-man field of elite players
at the Hero World Challenge.
How old were some of those videotapes he
watched of his previous swing?
Actually, its pretty interesting trying to
find a VHS recorder, Woods said. I have a
lot of tape like that. Fortunately, my mom
is of age where she has that still in the
house. So that was very beneficial to look
at some of the old tapes.
Otherwise, its another new beginning.
This is the fifth time Woods has returned
from injury the back, this time over the
last five years. The breaks have ranged from
four weeks to four months. He last competed
on Aug. 9 when he missed the cut at the PGA
Championship, ending the shortest season of
his career (eight tournaments) and the first
time he did not have a top 10.
Woods said he had enough time off to let
his body heal and to think about where he
Theres a bunch of young guys that
could break through and become legends of
this game Rickie Fowler being one of
them, McIlroy said after a few months ago
after adding his second straight major.
You just have to look at how hes played
the majors this year.
Fowler joined Woods and Nicklaus as the
only players to finish in the top five at all
four majors, except that he didnt win one.
Jordan Spieth is another, McIlroy said.
Theres a lot of great, young players that
will be playing in majors for the next sort

wants his game to go.


First, he split with swing coach Sean
Foley, ending a three-year relationship that
produced eight PGA Tour wins but no
majors.
I think that physically, I just wasnt able to
do some of the things that we wanted to do in
the golf swing, Woods said.
Woods said there was no reason to look
back at old swings at the time because he
felt he was headed in the right direction
three victories in 2012, and five wins in
2013 in which he was voted PGA Tour player of the year for the 11th time. Those two
years were relatively free of injuries.
But unfortunately, physically I was getting damaged doing it, he said. So in retrospect, you look at it. Was I ever hurt when I
was little? Granted, I dont think we all were.
I think we all could jump off roofs and nothing would break. But playing detective and
looking back on it, you have to somewhat
have an understanding physically of where
you are at the time.
He announced just over a week ago that he
had hired Dallas-based Chris Como as a swing
consultant, after longtime friend Notah Begay
put them together.
Woods said he had a plan, and that Como was
on the same page.
I was very surprised and very excited to
see what he felt my swing should look like,
and should look like going forward, Woods

said. Because that was very similar to the


vision I had.
Woods did not delve into specifics of his
swing, which he rarely did when going
through an overhaul with Butch Harmon, then
Hank Haney and Foley.
It is new, but its old, he said. I say that
because I havent done it in a very long time.
We looked at a lot of video from when I was a
junior, in junior and amateur golf. ... And it was
quite interesting to see where my swing was
then and how much force I could generate with
a very skinny frame. How did I do that? How do
I generate that much power? Thats kind of
what we are getting back into it.
Even so, Woods concedes that age he turns
39 at the end of the month has kept him
from overpowering golf the way he once did.
Along with four operations on his left knee,
and problems with his Achilles tendon in
2011, Woods lately has been coping with back
problems. He had surgery a week before the
Masters and missed two majors. Upon his
return in the summer, he had his worst 72-hole
showing in the British Open and missed the cut
in the PGA Championship.
Ive gotten stronger. Ive gotten more
explosive. Ive gotten faster, he said. I now
just need to hit more balls. But the body is
good. I dont have the sharp pain like I used to
at the beginning of the year. I dont have that
anymore. I still have some aches and pains, just
like anybody else who is my age and older.

of 20, 25 years that can really make their


mark on the game.
Spieth deserved mention because he was
21 and in his second year. He had only one
victory at the time (John Deere Classic),
but he went down to the wire at the Masters
and The Players Championship this year,
after having the best rookie campaign of
anyone since Woods.
But it starts with winning.
Nicklaus and Palmer never went head-tohead as often as the greatness of their
rivalry suggested. Nicklaus and Watson
clashed in three majors over a five-year
stretch. Greg Norman and Nick Faldo took
turns at No. 1, with Norman spending more
time at the top and Faldo winning the
showdowns in majors.
For all the rivals Woods had, Mickelson
stands out with the second-best record in
PGA Tour victories (42) and majors (five)
There is not a single definition of a
rivalry. You just know it when you see it.
Spieth was asked a few months ago what
it would take for him (or Fowler) to become
a true rival. He mentioned winning majors,
before pausing to state the obvious.
We need to win another tournament
first, he said.

So consider the Australian Open a baby


step. Spieth moved up to No. 11 in the
world, which felt a lot more than 10 spots
in the ranking from McIlroy.
I believe that Im still far away because
I believe that I have to win at least a major
or two in order to at least start to significantly progress to that goal, Spieth said.
McIlroy was runner-up in both of
Fowlers victories, in South Korea and at
Quail Hollow. Fowler, however, hasnt won
in two years, which led him to say after the
PGA Championship that McIlroy was definitely a step ahead of me or two. Or
four majors.
Most intriguing about Fowler is that he and
McIlroy have been competing against each
other since the 2007 Walker Cup. McIlroy
turned pro the next year, Fowler in 2009. For
now, thats where the similarities end.
I definitely have some work to do, but
there is a potential of him and I being able
to play against each other for a long time to
come, both being the same age, Fowler
said. Theres a lot of guys under 30 in the
top 50 in the world right now. So as far as
Rory and I sticking out, I think Rory is kind
of out on his own right now. And well see if
a few of us can rack up some more wins.

Wrist on mend, Ligety will compete at Beaver Creek


favorite, but struggled on the bumpy course
and finished 10th. His biggest rival, Marcel
Hirscher of Austria, won the event.
I think Soelden was going OK I wasnt
going to win but couldve easily gotten
second if I didnt hit a huge rock and lose all
my speed and my edge going onto the
flats, Ligety said.
For years, Ligetys been on a different
level than everyone else in the discipline,
with some of his competitors even referring
to him as Mr. GS. Hes won five World
Cup GS titles and, of course, that Olympic
gold in Sochi.
This season, hes changed his training
just to try to stay ahead of his competition.
Hes working with a nutritionist and has cut
way back on sugar, including ice cream
his weakness.
Im just continually building on ways
that I feel are the best for getting me faster,
Ligety said. Im 30 years old now. Im not
super young and a little kid anymore.

By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ted Ligety was looking to add more hardware to his collection this season. Just not
this kind of hardware.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist had
four metal screws inserted into his left wrist
as a result of a skiing mishap in a training
session on Nov 22.
Now, hes showing his mettle by racing
in the World Cup downhill, super-G and
giant slalom races this weekend in Beaver
Creek, Colorado. Thats the current plan,
anyway, despite a wrist thats still so tender
he can barely push out of the start gate.
Thats my job, to be out there skiing, no
matter what, said the 30-year-old from Park
City, Utah, who finished 3. 73 seconds
behind the top time of Norways Kjetil
Jansrud in a downhill training session
Tuesday. I wouldnt miss this for the world.
If I can do this relatively safe, then Im
going to be out there to push it.
Ligety has had his fair share of broken
wrists throughout his career. But this one
topped the list as far as pain. He was practicing in Vail, Colorado, when he essentially hooked his hand on a gate, breaking
bones in his wrist and tearing ligaments.
It was straight to surgery.
Just easier and faster to pin it all together, recovery-wise, he said.
Following the procedure, Ligety took two
days off and then returned to the hill. He
trained without a ski pole he couldnt
hold one with his left hand and said that
has actually improved his balance.
Ligety skipped the races in Lake Louise,
Alberta, last weekend, to give the wrist
more time to mend and to squeeze in some
extra sessions in the giant slalom, the
event he won at the Sochi Olympics.
Every day my wrist feels better and better, said Ligety, who also captured gold in
the combined at the 2006 Turin Olympics.
The plan is to leave the screws in for the
season and then remove them.

Vonn solid on training run

ERICH SCHLEGEL/USA TODAY SPORTS

Ted Ligety at the start of men's downhill training Tuesday at the FIS alpine skiing World Cup.
Ligetys not the only big name on the
mens team banged up. Six-time Olympic
medalist Bode Miller had back surgery last
month and will be sidelined until at least
January.
Thats just the nature of skiing. Its hard
to stay fully healthy, Ligety said. It will
be good to have Bode back healthy and
pushing it, since his back has been bothering him for a while.
Ligety said his injury couldve been much
worse. But he was wearing a pair of gloves
he helped design, along with U.S. Ski Team
physician Dr. Randy Viola. They fortified
racing gloves in vulnerable spots, using a
material designed to harden upon impact.
Saved me from getting completely
smashed up, said Ligety.
As for possibly doing even more damage

to the wrist by competing, Ligety said


thats not a concern.
Once you get four screws put in there, its
pretty locked down, Ligety said. Were
not concerned about any further damage,
other than smashing it on a gate, which
would hurt it anyway. Once you have screws
in there, its just waiting until the swelling
comes down and the strength to come back.
Ive kind of had the pain go away a little
bit.
Beaver Creek is one venue that Ligety
doesnt want to skip, especially since hes
always been so good on this hill. Hes won
four giant slalom races on the challenging
Birds of Prey course.
Not only that, but its an opportunity to
forget about the season-opening GS race in
Soelden, Austria, in October. He was the

Lindsey Vonn held back a little bit in her


first World Cup downhill training run in
nearly a year, not wanting to push her surgically repaired right knee just yet.
Shes saving that for race day.
The four-time overall World Cup champion showed flashes of her usual speed
Tuesday in Lake Louise, Alberta. She picked
up velocity midway through the course and
finished in 1 minute, 54.41 seconds, which
was 1.82 seconds behind Norways Lotte
Smiseth Sejersted.
Vonn is returning to competition after
missing a year due to another torn ACL that
caused her to sit out the Sochi Olympics.
Of competing again, Vonn said: I cant
wait to race with all my ligaments intact
for once.

Mariners Seager gets

SEATTLE The Seattle

through at least the 2021 season.
The Mariners announced the deal
Tuesday after the sides reached agreement on the $100 million contract

Seager is coming off his first

Brazilian hospital said on Tuesday.


The 74-year-old Pele remains in
the same room where he was transferred to five days ago to undergo
kidney support treatment, but now
was under semi-intensive care,
the Albert Einstein Hospital said
in a statement.
Pele is getting better, he was
lucid, eating well and has been
walking around the room, the
hospital added.
He remains off the hemodialysis
treatment that was needed to support his only kidney, although
doctors said another evaluation
will be done on Wednesday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Torii Hunter


is coming back to the place it all
began.
Hunter agreed to a $10.5 million, one-year contract to return to
the Minnesota Twins, a person
with knowledge of the agreement
told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of
anonymity Tuesday because the
agreement had not yet been
announced.
A five-time All-Star outfielder
who turns 40 in July, Hunter
became a star with the Twins from
1997-07 before signing a $90 million, five-year contract with the
Los Angeles Angels. He then
signed a $26 million, two-year
deal with Detroit.
Congrats on (at)toriihunter48
going back home, tweeted
Nationals outfielder Denard Span,
a former Twins center fielder who
was mentored by Hunter at the start
of his career.
His agreement was first reported
by USA Today.
Even though Hunter has been
gone for seven years, he always
has had a special place in his heart
for the organization that groomed
him from an 18-year-old firstround draft pick in 1993 into one
of the best defensive players of his
generation. On trips back to
Minnesota to play the Twins with
the Angels and Tigers, Hunter
always spoke fondly of his time
with the Twins and was open to
finishing his career at Target Field,
the teams jewel of a ballpark that

opened a few years after he left the


Metrodome for Los Angeles.
Now hes going to get that
chance.
In his second tour with the
Twins, Hunter will be heavily
relied upon to be the kind of harddriving veteran a young clubhouse
needs to set an example. The Twins
have lost at least 92 games in each
of the last four seasons, and the
lack of leadership was a big concern for the front office and new
manager Paul Molitor.
During his first run with the
Twins, Hunter was a vocal pillar in
the clubhouse, and the team adopted his fiery mentality. He challenged teammates when he
thought they were not competing,
served as a team spokesman when
results were poor and, most importantly, won seven of his nine Gold
Gloves while providing consistent production in the middle of
the Twins order.
It will be a honor to play alongside my hero growing up, Twins
outfielder Aaron Hicks tweeted.
Hunter isnt the same defensive
dynamo he was when he left for the
big payday with the Angels, but he
can still swing the bat. Last season he hit .286 with 17 homers
and 83 RBIs for the Tigers, numbers comparable to the two seasons before then, as well. Last season Trevor Plouffe led the Twins
with 80 RBIs.
His salary with Minnesota
matches the average of former
Twin Michael Cuddyer in his $21
million, two-year deal with the
New York Mets.

Hershey explores removal of corn syrup


By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Hershey is looking at


replacing the high-fructose corn syrup in
some of its products with sugar.
Will Papa, chief research and development officer at The Hershey Co., told the
Associated Press the company uses a mix of
sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in its
products but that it is moving more toward
sugar.
We take into account what consumers
want. And consumers are telling us between
the two, they prefer sugar, Papa said.
A switch to sugar would make Hershey a
high-profile example of the move away
from high-fructose corn syrup in the food
industry. Many people say they avoid it
because it has gained a bad reputation for
fueling weight gain and diabetes, though
health experts says theres not enough evi-

dence to conclude its any worse than regular sugar.


In an emailed statement, Hershey said
its work on exploring
the replacement of
h i g h - f r uc tose corn
syrup is
just under
way and
that it did
not have a
t i m e frame on
when it
might be
complete.
A representative for Hershey,
Jeff Beckman, cited Almond Joy, Fifth
Avenue, Take 5 and York as examples of
products that use corn syrup. He said classic
Hershey bars are made with sugar.

Our aim is to be transparent with our


consumers about the ingredients we use in
our products. Once we have more information to share, we will be back in touch,
Hershey said in its statement.
Other products that have changed from
high-fructose corn syrup to sugar include
Gatorade drinks and Yoplait
yogurt.
As
for
health, the
Am e r i c a n
Medi cal
As s o ci at i o n
has
said
theres
not
enough evidence
to
s p eci fi cal l y
restrict the use of
corn syrup. The Center for Science in the
Public Interest, which advocates for food
safety, has also said that theres no evidence

that the sweetener is any worse nutritionally than sugar.


The Corn Refiners Association, an industry group, has been pushing back at the
negative perceptions about high-fructose
corn syrup, which is generally cheaper than
sugar. In 2010, the association submitted
an application to the Food and Drug
Administration to have its sweetener
renamed corn sugar on nutrition labels.
The request was denied.
The association said it has also commissioned market-research firms Mintel and
Nielsen to study perceptions of sweeteners
and shared the results online. For instance,
the group notes in media materials that
67% of consumers agree that moderation is
more important than specific sweetener
types.
John Bode, president of the Corn
Refiners Association, said in an interview
that the number of companies changing
from corn syrup to sugar has slowed.

Marijuana dining still on shaky legal ground


By Kristen Wyatt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ASPEN, Colo. Acclaimed chef Chris


Lanter is talking a crowd of eager foodies
through a demo on cooking with marijuana.
As he prepares steak au poivre, he describes
how to deglaze the pan with pot-infused
brandy. How to pair marijuana with fine
foods. How to make marijuanas skunky
tang work for a dish, not ruin it.
One catch theres no actual weed at his
demonstration.
Marijuana aficionados paid $250 for a
weekend-long celebration of marijuana and
food, yet state and city regulations prohibit
any open and public use of the drug, even
at licensed businesses holding private
events.
Its a strange dichotomy. The nascent marijuana industry in Colorado is moving well
beyond just pot brownies. Dispensaries are
doing a booming trade in cookbooks,
savory pot foods and frozen takeout dishes
that incorporate the drug. But for now, halt-

Theres so much potential here,


and the interest is unbelievable. But
right now, everybodys kind of scared to be doing it.
Chris Lanter, owner and executive chef at Aspens tony Cache Cache restaurant

ing attempts at creating a marijuana dining


scene have had mixed results.
Colorado may have legalized marijuana,
but it still prohibits on-site consumption,
a caveat aimed at preventing Amsterdamstyle coffee shops where pot can be purchased and consumed in the same place.
Recreational or medical marijuana is now
legal in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
though each state prohibits on-site consumption and pot sales in bars or restaurants.
As Colorados recreational industry nears
its first anniversary, authorities increasingly are cracking down on attempts to push the
pot-dining envelope.
The city of Denver, where the marijuana

industry is concentrated, wrote 668 tickets


for open and public consumption through
September, up from 117 the year before,
when marijuana was legal, but sales were
not. And the county that includes Colorado
Springs is trying to crack down on so-called
smoke-easys, or private clubs that allow
marijuana use, sometimes paired with
refreshments.
Even private events at restaurants arent
safe. Denver authorities are using permit
codes and alcohol laws to fine and even
press charges against people trying to
throw private events at which pot foods are
served.
The result has been that chefs interested in
infusing foods with pot, or pairing regular

dishes with certain strains thought to accent


a particular flavor, are unable to try it outside catered events at private homes. Even
chefs who will talk publicly about doing
medicated catered house parties, like
Lanter, are skittish about sharing details.
Theres so much potential here, and the
interest is unbelievable. But right now,
everybodys kind of scared to be doing it,
says Lanter, owner and executive chef at
Aspens tony Cache Cache restaurant.
Which isnt to say folks arent experimenting with the limits of the law.
A bed-and-breakfast in Denver offers
guests samples of cannabis strains alongside regular breakfast dishes. Guests at The
Adagio get marijuana samples at daily
happy hours, too, where strains of pot are
paired with crudites and bacon-wrapped
chicken bites, complete with tasting note
presentations from growers.
Its a way to bring our guests together and
move away from campy, stereotypical pot
foods, says Joel Schneider, CEO of the
MaryJane Group, which operates two marijuana-friendly hotels.

Healthy roast for


the holiday meal?
With pork its easy
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Winter calls for savory roasts


that fill our homes with luscious
aromas that promise a comforting meal to bring the family
together. The problem for the
healthy eater is that most roasts
get their flavor from silky (and
so very saturated) fat marbling.
Yes, we can roast chickens and
turkeys, but sometimes we crave
thick slices of pork or beef.
I have a solution: the pork tenderloin (not to be confused with a
simple pork loin). As the name
suggests, this is one of the most
tender cuts of pork, making it
perfect for roasted slice-andserve bliss.
The pork tenderloin is a small
roast (about 1 to 2 pounds per
roast), which also means it
cooks quickly, adding to its
weekday convenience. As a
bonus, the pork tenderloin is
incredibly low in fat, making it
comparable to a boneless, skinless chicken breast. A 4-ounce
serving of pork tenderloin offers
up over 20 grams of protein and
less than 3 grams of fat! Thats
the good news.
The bad news is that this lowered fat can make the tenderloin
extremely mild in flavor (read as

bland) and prone to overcooking


(read as dry). But I have solutions
for both of these problems, and
as long as you follow my two
tips you will be on your way to
mastering this healthy comfort
meal.
First, let the roast sit in a dry
or wet rub in the refrigerator for a
day or two. Two days in a mustard
and herb mixture works magic on
the tenderloins flavor! Try my
48-hour mustard-marinated pork
tenderloin roast as proof.
Second, dont overcook the
roast. Many of us grew up thinking pork should been cooked
until the pink is gone. Nope!
Bring the pink back! A light
shade of pink says that the roast
is cooked, but still juicy. Aim for
an internal temperature of 150 F,
then allow the roast to rest for 5
to 10 minutes. The result will be
a perfectly-cooked and flavorful
roast worthy of company and a
holiday meal.

Go Italian this season


with lobster manicotti
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A robust Italian dinner feels just about


right for Christmas. Its rich and comforting and particularly in the case of our
lobster manicotti decadent without
being fussy.
We start our manicotti with a lobster and
ricotta cheese filling, but if lobster is too
much trouble (or not in the budget) just
substitute cooked and peeled shrimp. You
also could make this dish vegetarian by
skipping the seafood entirely and using
well-drained chopped and cooked spinach.
Whatever you use, a zippy but not
scorching fra diavolo sauce ties everything together wonderfully.
And to help keep your holiday running
smoothly, this dish can be prepared the
night before and refrigerated until ready to
bake.

LOBSTER MANICOTTI FRA DIAVOLO


Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 5
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or
less, to taste)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
28-ounce can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
7 ounces cooked lobster meat, drained,
patted dry and roughly chopped (about 1
mounded cup)
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus extra
for garnish
8-ounce box wide lasagna noodle sheets
(10 sheets)

Grated romano cheese (optional)


In a medium saucepan over medium-high,
heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until
tender and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer half of the onions to a medium bowl. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic to the saucepan and continue to cook for
3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cover.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20
minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add the lobster, ricotta and basil to the
bowl of onion. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat the oven to 400 F. Bring a large pot
of salted water to a boil. Spread 1/2 cup of
the sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch
baking dish.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water
according to package directions, then drain
well. Working quickly and carefully with
one sheet of pasta at a time, lay a pasta
sheet flat in front of you. Spoon 1/4 cup of
the lobster-ricotta filling across the bottom edge of the pasta sheet. Roll the pasta
away from you, forming a tube around the
filling. Lay the rolled and filled pasta
(manicotti) on the sauce in the baking
dish.
Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets,
filling and lining the manicotti in a row in
the prepared pan. Spoon the remaining
sauce over the tops of the manicotti. Bake
for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is
bubbling and browning around the edges.
Serve topped with basil and grated romano,
if desired.

Rub into the flesh of both pork
tenderloins. Place the tenderloins in a large zip-close plastic
bag, pressing to remove excess
air before closing. Refrigerate
for 48 hours.
When ready to cook, heat the
oven to 400 F. Let the tenderloin
rest at room temperature for 30
minutes.
After 30 minutes, arrange the
roasts on a rack set into a
rimmed baking sheet or roasting

pan. Roast until the pork reaches


155 F to 160 F, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the roasts from the
oven, cover with foil, and let
rest for 10 minutes. Slice and
serve.

insurance protection through the national
flood protection program, according to a staff
report.
The question were asking FEMA, is,
What type of flood insurance is acceptable if
it happens once in 500 years? said Public
Works Director Syed Murtuza.
Burlingame has two flood zones, called
Laguna Flood Zone Area and Easton Creek
Flood Zone Area, that were established in
1981 and encompass approximately 371 residential properties. Twenty-four properties
would be removed from the flood zone.
Burlingame participates in the National
Flood Insurance Program by enforcing flood
plain management requirements for new construction to reduce future flood risks in Special
Flood Hazard Areas. Property owners within
the flood zones are required to purchase flood
insurance by mortgage companies if the elevation of their structure is lower than the base
flood elevation and face additional building
permit requirements to either raise their finish
floor or protect against flooding when initiating substantial remodeling or new construction projects. This is of concern for new projects like Millennium Partners 767,000square-foot Bayfront office development.
Its very important they are involved in
this process and understand it, said

Mattusch said the Harbor District should

Bernardo are sworn in Jan. 5.
Bernardo said the board isnt rushing as its

We can delay things and delay things, but
it doesnt serve the district well. We need

Bernardo said. We hired a real estate negotiator for a reason, so she can look out for the
districts best interests in terms of getting
the best deal. Because we have a fiduciary
duty to county tax payers.

Thankfully, projects like the Bayfront
development have a lot of flood mitigation
already built into them, Murtuza said. Still,
these additional requirements can substantially increase the construction cost to property
owners, according to staff.
The properties are not named at this point
since it is a preliminary report and FEMA and
the city dont want to alarm people since
nothing has been finalized, said Martin Quan,
a senior civil engineer for the city. In terms of
new developments, it should not affect the
number of developers interested in the
Bayfront and Rollins Road area since land is
so scarce along the Peninsula, he said. For
current owners, it would be possible to add an
assessment district to raise money for infrastructure repairs that could make the area at
lower risk for flooding, he added.
The hardship would be on the 210 parcels
to form an assessment district, Quan said.
They would have to weigh the costs of
assessment over. You have to have a lot of
people to participate to make it worthwhile.
Assessments may be as high as their premiums for their insurance.
The Flood Insurance Rate Maps also indicate that the major portions of creeks within
the city contain the 100-year flood within the
creek channels. The major creeks include:
Burlingame Creek, Sanchez Creek, Easton
Creek, Mills Creek, El Portal Creek,
Trousdale Channel and Gilbreth Channel. The
majority of the affected commercial properties are located on the north side of

Burlingame between the city limits, Rollins


Road and the San Francisco Bay. The affected
residential properties are located adjacent to
Victoria Park, bordering Rollins Road,
Victoria Road and the city limits, according
to the staff report.
Building a levy is a potential option for
mitigating the chances for flooding in
Burlingame, Quan said. The 2009 $39 million
Storm Drain Capital Improvement Project has
money set aside for flood protection, but is
designed for covering 30-year storms, not the
100-year floods FEMA mentions.
Nothing could be permanently done to
remove them (the flood zones), Quan said.
Until we get more information from them
(FEMA), we cant see how to reduce the
issue.
Staff has concerns with the program used to
generate the wave models for San Francisco
Bay. The original wave modeling program
was designed for conditions on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. Revisions to the program
were made to remove hurricane condition scenarios, as those scenarios are not appropriate
for the California Pacific coast. However, it is
unclear how the program corrects, if any, the
difference between waves within the Bay versus coastal waves, according to the staff
report.
Staff believes the landing area of SFO can
act as a buffer for Burlingames coastline,
Quan said.
Residents have concerns about the new
maps, including John Horgan.
This is going to have a big impact on cer-

tain folks, he said at the meeting. This is


very interesting and this could be very expensive.
In February 2013, FEMA initiated a coastal
study and, from April to September 2014, a
revised flood plain map was generated. On
Oct. 1 of this year, FEMA met with local
agencies to discuss the new maps. Dec. 17 is
the deadline for initial comments on the proposed maps. There will be a 90-day appeal
period between October 2015 and January
2016. Based on the results of the study and
responses from FEMA to city comments,
staff will determine if additional resources
will be needed to submit an appeal. FEMA
will determine its final map in March 2016,
while the new rate maps will become effective
in September 2016. Staff will send out a public notice of the revised Flood Insurance Rate
Maps to all affected property owners once the
preliminary map is released in June 2015.
Contents of the public notice will include
information on FEMA, flood risk hazards,
available resources and staff contacts.
In other city business, the Burlingame City
Council heard a report from City Arborist Bob
Disco and Parks and Recreation Director
Margaret Glomstad updating the council on
the status of about seven to 12 trees that were
severely trimmed in the Mills Canyon in the
Ray Park neighborhood. The trees do belong
to the city and the city is still working to
determine if its best to let the trees regrow or
to replant new trees in their place. Updates
should come to the council some time before
April 2015, they said.

Mattusch said rumors are spreading and he


questions why the seafood wholesaler Global
Quality Foods would want to buy a property
far from the waterfront and what it could offer
as a community benefit.
The more responsible view, in my opinion, would be to see how is this going to
benefit the community. And there shouldnt
be any rush to get this done by the end of the
year. Theres absolutely no benefit to getting
this done in December, Mattusch said.
Bernardo said commissioners will need to
weigh the pros and cons of each offer in
closed session and theres no guarantee the
long-vacant post office lot will have a new
owner by Wednesday.
Its a delicate balance really, Bernardo
said. When youre talking about taxpayer
money and youre weighing that against the
local communitys needs and whats best for
the community.
Global Quality Foods employees said the
owner is out of the country and representatives did not return requests for comments.

Mattusch said the fire district proposed


using the lot to create a drive-thru station and
relocate its El Granada administrative
offices. Granada district board President
Matthew Clark said hes interested in building a community center and possibly open
space.
Given what the restrictive zoning is and
the interest in the community and a community center and other potential uses, I think
that we would be the best fit for this property, Clark said. Its almost like the zoning
was designed for a community service or
parks and recreation district to have that
property.
The Granada district arose from the reorganization of the Granada Sanitary District
in October and now oversees parks, recreation, garbage and recycling in unincorporated coastal areas such as El Granada,
Princeton and Miramar.
Clark said there have been informal discussions with the fire district about potentially
working together on the lot, such as having
a fire station
and community center
co n s t ruct ed
on the property.
The ulti-

mate decision is way down the road because


this is a coastal zone, the property has a
unique split zoning and we are committed to
soliciting as much public input as we can
from our constituents about what they want
to see and how much theyd want to spend,
Clark said. And its clear to me that our
board remains interested in cooperating with
the fire district or any other local agencies
where we can make the highest use of the
property.
Clark said the Granada district has enough
surplus cash to purchase the property and
although hopeful, its hard to tell which way
the Harbor District will swing.
As a surplus property thats never been
improved, Gray said the district has a decent
pool of prospective buyers from which to
choose.
No institution will lend on it, you dont
have sewer, you dont have water, you dont
have approved plans, you have a piece of
dirt, Gray said. So Im very pleased and surprised that we have three offers.

DEA

make in these investigations.

Continued from page 1

Last year, the Oakland-based task


force seized more than $2 million in
assets with the two participating outside agencies receiving approximately
$500,000, Goldberg said.
Any time we seize currency or real
property houses, cars, boats
whether they are the direct proceeds of
drug trafficking or whether this asset
was used to facilitate drug trafficking,
they can be seized by the federal government under the law, Goldberg said.
San Mateo has a reserve of seized
assets from other narcotics and human
trafficking investigations that could
fund the replacement officer for up to a
year and a half, according to the staff
report. The money the DEA task force
officer makes cannot be used to pay
their own salary but will go toward hiring a replacement, according to the
report.
As illicit prescription drug incidents
are on the rise, Goldberg said the San
Mateo police officers work is likely to
greatly exceed the departments costs.
The amount is only going up. The
more people we have on the task force,
the higher number of investigations we
can work at the same time. The group is
very active and unfortunately, theres
no shortage of work. Thats the reality, this is a huge problem, Goldberg
said. Were proud to welcome San
Mateo aboard. We think its a very positive way to work to solve a very difficult problem.

of prescription drugs, Decker said in


an email. Our department is excited to
have an officer on the front lines with
this innovative task force whose sole
purpose is to combat the very core of
this alarming trend.
On Monday, the City Council
approved a backfill position to replace
the officer who will be on loan to the
federal government and will be funded
by the distribution of assets seized during investigations.
San Mateos officer will join one of
two tactical diversion squads within the
regional division and be based in
Oakland for hopefully at least one year,
said Bruce Goldberg, assistant special
agent in charge with the DEAs San
Francisco Division. The divisions
jurisdiction runs from the Oregon border to Bakersfield and the DEA sought to
include a San Mateo County representative, Goldberg said.
The officer will be deputized by the
DEA and join three others from the
Marin County Sheriffs Office and the
San Ramon and Livermore police
departments, Goldberg said.
There are 66 tactical diversion squads
across the country and forming these
multi-agency task forces helps combat
prescription drug abuse, Goldberg said.
We think it brings a more dynamic
working relationship from all the
agencies in the Bay Area that encounter
this problem, Goldberg said. These
departments get full access to the
logistics, the intelligence and the support of the federal government in
their investigations. So its a huge
benefit to them. They also can share
in the proceeds of the seizures that we

The wet weather caused delays and
service disruptions on the San
Francisco Municipal Railway system,
including the suspension of cable car
service. Shuttle buses were running
instead on the lines as a precaution
because the cable cars brake systems
are around 100 years old, Muni
spokesman Paul Rose said.
The weather caused flights arriving at
San Francisco International Airport to
be delayed nearly four hours after more
than an inch of rain fell overnight.

The city has a positive relationship


with the DEA and local officers see
examples of the alarming trend almost
daily, Decker said.
In
November,
John
Henry

Zborowski, a 53-year-old San Mateo


resident was charged with felony driving under the influence after crashing
into three Hillsdale High School special needs students and a teacher Sept.
10. Zborowski was allegedly found
passed out behind the wheel on prescription drugs when police arrived to
accident.
Illicit prescription drugs have
exploded on the marketplace and of the
38,000 Americans who died of accidental drug overdose last year, 22,000 died
from prescription drugs and 16,000 of
those were from opioid-based medications, Goldberg said.
The task force will investigate medical professionals who are operating
outside of medical necessity or prescribing medications in unnecessary
quantities. Doctors, pharmacies and
drug manufacturers must all register
with the DEA and there is even a market
for counterfeit medications, Goldberg
said.
A Bay Area man was recently caught
producing counterfeit Xanax and selling it in 48 states and, because of the
local task forces work, Marin Countys
Dr. Michael Chiarottino was indicted in
September on 15 counts of illegally
distributing controlled substances,
Goldberg said.
Councilman Robert Ross, a former
San Mateo police lieutenant who spent
more than 20 years with the department, said the city is proud to contribute.
The abuse of [prescription] drugs is
at an all-time high and the federal government learned it was being dispensed
at such a rate thats unprecedented,
Ross said. I think its great because we
have a long-term, ongoing relationship with the Drug Enforcement Agency
and the Bureau of Narcotics
Enforcement.

The rain began falling overnight in
Northern California, but the heaviest
downpours were expected in Southern
California later in the day, prompting
both relief in the drought-stricken state
and concern about flooding and mudslides on denuded slopes.
Coastal residents also braced for the
thick tangle of garbage and debris that
gets washed from city streets, into
storm drains and then onto beaches during the first major winter storm each
year.
Three years of devastating drought
has left the Sierra Nevada snowpack
which counts for most of the states
water supply at just 24 percent of
normal for this time of year.
Downtown Los Angeles has had less
than half of the rain it would have in a
normal year.
In Camarillo Springs, about 50 miles
northwest of Los Angeles, the immediate concern was not drought but mudflows that began before noon from hill-

sides that burned more than a year ago.


In Northern California, officials
have been scrambling to control erosion following the King Fire, which
burned 153 square miles in the mountains east of Sacramento last summer,
as well as the Rim Fire, which burned
more than 400 square miles in and
around Yosemite National Park a year
ago.
Rain at this early point in
Californias wet season has yet to make
much of an impact on the states main
reservoirs.
Lake Shasta and Lake Oroville have
less than 50 percent of their usual water
levels for the start of December, while
Folsom Lake stands at 59 percent,
National Weather Service forecaster
Eric Kurth said.
A weaker storm over the weekend
caused a mudslide that blocked the
Pacific Coast Highway west of Malibu
when a section of the Santa Monica
Mountains charred by a wildfire last
year gave way.

celebrate with someone you love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Dont invest your hardearned cash in someone elses future. Instant
returns seldom occur as promised. Personal change
will be possible with the support of a trusted ally.
Believe in yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Unexpected visitors or

interruptions will throw your schedule off course. Dont


worry about sticking to your timetable. Use this time to
entertain and enjoy the company of others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Alterations to your
appearance or image will bring renewed interest from
a former partner. Be firm with anyone trying to dictate
what you can and cannot do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You may not be able to
see the obvious solution to a problem. Step back and
distance yourself from a dilemma until you gain clarity.
Impulsive action will lead to a mistake youll regret.
