opponents of the citys current
course whove pledged to reform
the council, while re-electing
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk but

Voters also turned down Measure
O, a three-year continuation of a
half-cent sales tax the council promoted as a means for visitors to
contribute toward infrastructure
improvements and help fund a new
library. Measure O was anticipated
to raise between $3 million and $4
million but failed with just 1,226

Transit Village design OKd with a few tweaks

San Carlos Planning Commission debates trees, landscaping
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The scaled-down Transit Village design

was unanimously approved by San Carlos
planning commissioners who first
required building roofs be tiled, garbage
deliveries limited to certain hours and
more trees potentially added.
Planning Commissioner Scot Marsters,
who hammered a desire for more trees over
several hours during Monday nights meeting, delivered his affirmative vote after a
very lengthy pause.
Marsters cited differences between the
original landscaping plan and the
revamped proposal.
For example, he said, there were at least
a dozen if not 15 for building two and
thats gone down to three trees.
But Jeff Byrd of developer Legacy

Partners said the prior plan was based on

taller four-story buildings and that the new
design is actually more benign for the
neighborhood than that even approved by
the City Council.
On some level, I think were beating a
dead horse, Byrd said.
Ultimately, Chair David Silberman drew
the back and forth to a close.
You want more trees. The developer is
saying that they cant do any more trees,
Silberman said. So at this point are there
any questions?
Aside from a review of the landscaping
plan for building eight, the commission
also opted for tile over a shingled roof
design and required that deliveries and
trash removal be prohibited from 11 p.m.
to 6 a.m.
As approved, the mixed-use development around the existing train station

between El Camino Real and the Caltrain

tracks will have six three-story residential
buildings and two two-story office and
retail buildings. The complex will include
202 rental units, recreational facilities,
25,8000 square feet of commercial space
and a public plaza. To meet councilimposed height limits, Legacy Partners
nixed subterranean parking in favor of
174 surface spaces and 114 individual residential garages.
The new design is 46 percent smaller
than the original proposal so the certified
environmental impact report is sufficient.
The revamped plan has been greeted
largely with praise even by former neighborhood opponents who worried about
noise, traffic and shadowing. The Sierra
Club remains opposed to the scaled-down
design because it prefers greater density to
encourage transit use.

San Francisco police officers
SAN FRANCISCO Federal authorities
added more theft and corruption counts to
an indictment charging two San Francisco
Police officers with stealing money and
drugs from suspects.
A federal grand jury in San Francisco
unsealed the new indictment last week.
It alleges Sgt. Ian Furminger and officer
Edmond Robles stole money during
searches in 2009. The new charges also
accuse the two of accepting gifts from a
suspect in exchange for shielding him
from prosecution.
The original indictment charged the two
with stealing a $500 gift card in a separate
search in 2009.
Furminger and Robles pleaded not guilty
Friday, and their trial is scheduled to begin

$1.1M in severance pay

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES California Gov.

Jerry Brown claimed a place in the history books Tuesday by decisively winning a record fourth term after a lopsided campaign in the state dominated
by Democrats.
Voters also endorsed two ballot proposals championed by Brown that call
for spending $7.5 billion to improve
the states water supply system and for
the overhaul of a fund to pay down
more debt and provide a buffer against
future budget shortfalls.
An attempt to raise Californias cap
on medical malpractice damage awards
was soundly defeated.
In Berkeley, voters were heavily
favoring a special tax on soda and
other sugary drinks with the aim of
curbing obesity and related diseases.
The governors race topped a state
ballot in which battles over congressional and legislative seats, and a
handful of state and local initiatives,
garnered the most attention.

Democratic Rep. Ami Bera and

A former PG&E senior executive who lost his job following the disclosure of inappropriate emails to regulators will
receive a $1.1 million severance payment, according to a
report filed by the utility with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Thomas Bottorff, the former senior vice president of regulatory affairs, was one of three executives whose employment was terminated in September when PG&E revealed a
set of emails to the California Public Utilities Commission
that appeared to show improper judge-shopping.
Bottorffs separation agreement was included in San
Francisco-based PG&Es quarterly report to the SEC, filed
on Oct. 28.
The agreement was signed by Bottorff on Sept. 12 and
said he resigned as of that date.
Conditions of the severance package are that Bottorff
must cooperate in legal and regulatory proceedings concerning PG&E, must not sue PG&E for any reason, and must
refrain from demeaning the utilitys reputation.
The agreement says, Even though Mr. Bottorff is not
otherwise entitled to them, in consideration of his acceptance of this agreement, the company will provide to Mr.
Bottorff certain separation benefits.
The benefits include the $1.1 million in severance pay;
continued vesting of stock given to him in an incentive
plan; $29, 000 in health insurance payments for 18
months; and $12,000 worth of career-transition services.
PG&E spokesman Keith Stephens said, The benefits
that were provided were in accordance with the companys
officer separation policy and are based on individual compensation levels and years of service.
The agreements are in line with what other officers have
received who have left the company with commensurate
years of service, Stephens said.
The emails were announced by PG&E on Sept. 15. They
were written in January by former Vice President for
Regulatory Relations Brian Cherry, whom Bottorff supervised, to a PUC staff member and Commissioner Mike
Florio.
The messages concerned apparent attempts to influence
the selection of a PUC administrative law judge for a PG&E
gas transmission and storage rate case. PG&E said when
disclosing the messages that it believed they violated the
PUCs rules barring private communications to commissioners and staff on regulatory matters.
An administrative law judge who held a hearing on the
messages ruled on Oct. 16 that the PG&Es actions severely harmed the integrity of the regulatory process. The
commission is scheduled to consider a penalty at a Nov. 20
meeting.

Incumbents retain health care district seats

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The faces on the boards of both county

health care districts remain the same as voters Tuesday rejected a trio of challengers to
the status quo.
For the Peninsula Health Care District,
current Chair Larry Cappel and directors
Helen Galligan and Dennis Zell all received
more votes than challenger Doug Radtke.
In the Sequoia Healthcare District race,
Dr. Jerry Shefren came in first with 25.8
percent followed by Jack Hickey with 21.9
percent and former Sequoia Hospital CEO
Arthur Faro with 19.8 percent , according to
final semi-official results from the San
Mateo County Elections Office.
The three beat out challengers John
McDowell, a small business owner, and
retired veteran Mark De Paula who previously ran unsuccessfully for county supervisor.
McDowell received 18 percent of the vote
and De Paula received 14.5 percent.
Galligan, the top Peninsula vote-getter
with 34.2 percent, is excited to be re-elected and thinks the fact she is a nurse and a
woman speaks to the electorates desire for
diversity on the board. Galligan said shes

looking forward to
developing
The
Trousdale, an assisted
living facility.
And I cant wait to
continue what Ive been
doing, said Galligan
who joined the district in
2006.
Cappel came in second
Larry Cappel
with 26 percent. Zell
followed with 22 percent
and Doug Radtke received
17.7 percent.
Cappel, who was elected to his first full term in
2010, called his re-election and that of his colleagues a nice mandate
for the district.
It
shows
voter
Jerry Shefren
approval for some of the
plans we have, he said, ticking off The
Trousdale and the Apple Tree Center for
Dental Health as top priorities.
Cappel said he was pleased to see the
incumbents succeed because they work well
together.
Zell, the current board treasurer who was

appointed to the board

last December, also feels
it is important all three
incumbents
return
because Radtke, a 30year-old accountant from
Millbrae, ran on a platform advocating the district consolidate with the
Healthcare
Helen Galligan Sequoia
District.
I dont think that
would have been a positive thing of the constituents and the district, Zell said.
Although he lost,
Radtke was positive
about his showing.
I think it shows that a
lot of the issues that I
Jack Hickey
brought up about the
direction of the district should be examined
closer, he said. Some of the things I said
during the race resonated with people.
Radtke, who plans to run for Millbrae
City Council in 2015, ran at the urging of
Hickey so that it would be a contested election and voters could get educated on the

districts issues.
With a well-funded
campaign and more foresight the result could be
different, he said.
Hickey is a longtime
advocate of dissolving
the Sequoia district. Like
Hickey,
candidates
McDowell and De Paula
Dennis Zell
also advocated dissolution.
Hickey said he was disappointed he wasnt
burying Jerry Shefren
in the results. Elected
without either two likeminded candidates leaves
a 4-1 vote on the board
which is not a very
good feeling, he said.
Arthur Faro
Hickey said if the
board recognized that he defeated Faro by
agreeing with his positions would be nice
but he knows that wont happen.
Theyre not going to go for a vote to dissolve which makes it more difficult than if

San Francisco voters defeat measure to tax sugary drinks

By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco voters defeated a measure on Tuesday that would
have taxed sodas and other sugary drinks to
fight obesity and related diseases.
The measure to levy the two-cents an
ounce tax fell short of the two-thirds support needed to pass.
Voters in nearby Berkeley, however, were
favoring a similar soda tax.
San Francisco joined more than 30 other

cities and states that previously defeated

soda-tax proposals at the ballot box.
Tonight, San Franciscans have made it
clear that they can decide for themselves
what to eat and drink, said Roger Salazar, a
spokesman for the opposition campaign
Berkeley, known for its liberal politics,
could be the first in the country to approve
such a ballot measure if a simple majority of
voters approves.
With 7 percent of the votes counted in the
famously liberal California city, nearly
three-fourths had been cast in favor of

imposing a one-cent an ounce tax on soft

drinks.
Were saying no to Big Soda, Berkeley
Mayor Tom Bates said as results came in.
Were saying that Berkeley and the rest of
the country need to pay attention that soda
is such a destructive product.
Salazar, the spokesman for the more than
$10 million opposition campaign in
Berkeley and San Francisco funded by softdrink manufacturers, argued the Berkeley
vote meant little nationally.
Berkeley is very eclectic. It doesnt look

like Anytown USA, he said.

Heavy advertising on radio, television
and the internet by the $76 billion U.S.
soft-drink industry made the San Francisco
soda-tax proposal the second-most expensive campaign involving a ballot initiative
in city history. Supporters of the San
Francisco tax had collected $230,000 for
their effort, mostly in small donations.
In Berkeley, former New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg with an $85,000

San Bruno passes measure to raise heights

Measure N modifies a 1977 ordinance
and focuses on downtown revitalization
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Height limits in and near San Brunos

downtown have been raised with the passage of Measure N Tuesday night with 67.31
percent and 3,743 votes for the measure,
according to final semi-official results from
the San Mateo County Elections Office.
Measure N, modifies 1977s Ordinance
1284, which limits building heights,
potentially raising them from the current
maximum of 50 feet to 90 feet near the San
Bruno Caltrain station, and lesser amounts
in surrounding areas.
Its a good thing for San Bruno, said
Mayor Jim Ruane, who was a proponent of
the measure. Ive been pushing this for a
while. Well have some decent measured
growth. Hopefully this is large step forward
to get shovels in the ground.
The ordinance was the result of a voter initiative, which was intended to preserve the
existing character of San Bruno by requiring
voter approval for high-rise developments,
increased density in existing neighborhoods and projects encroaching upon scenic
corridors and open spaces. The increased
height limits would allow for more creative
development, said proponents like City
Manager Connie Jackson, while others
argued it will gentrify a working class area,
increase congestion and cause water shortages.
The 1977 ordinance prohibited buildings
or other structures to exceed 50 feet or three
stories in the Transit Corridors Area unless
approved by the majority of voters of San
Bruno. If voters approve Measure N,
heights could reach 70 feet along El Camino

Real within the Transit Corridors Area or

two stories higher than what is now
allowed. Along San Bruno Avenue, buildings could rise up to 65 feet or two stories
higher than what is now allowed, while the
central business district along San Mateo
Avenue could go up to 55 feet or one story
higher than what is now allowed. The
Caltrain station area could rise the most to
90 feet or four stories more than what is now
allowed.
On the other side, Millbraes Doug
Radtke, the campaign chair against Measure
N, said the cost of gentrification, which
would result from adding newer housing, is
less affordable housing and more San
Franciscans being transported to San
Bruno. Radtke lived half of his childhood in
RONNY DIEHL/DAILY JOURNAL
San Bruno. Downtown San Brunos narrow San Mateo Avenue in downtown San Bruno, looking south from Artichoke Joes Casino. The
streets and infrastructure arent set up to area near the downtown train station will have its heights raised up to 90 feet with the passage

of Measure N Tuesday.
I was kind of surprised (by the vote); I
thought the turnout was a bit low, he said.
Obviously, the no side had no funding or a
great deal of developed literature available. I
dont think a yes vote is a game killer for
San Bruno.
Radtke noted the no side was an opportunity to educate and give people a different
perspective. Ultimately, 1,818 people, or
32.69 percent of voters, voted against the
measure.
Were just going to have to see what happens, he said.
Jackson said the biggest concern right
now is being able to fill vacant spaces, not
only for property owners but also for adjacent businesses not getting foot traffic. She
imagines a thoughtful integration of new
businesses with those that have been around
and are successful, she said.

34.57 percent, or 36,832 people, voted no,
according to final semi-official results from
the San Mateo County Elections Office. The
measure needed 55 percent of the vote to
pass.
Parcel tax and bond measures also passed
swiftly along the Peninsula. The
Burlingame Elementary School District parcel tax passed 76. 55 percent approval,
while a $48 million facilities bond measure

City moves forward

with smoking ban
Foster City officials to ban smoking in shared
dwellings after second reading of new ordinance
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A smoking ban in Foster City apartments, condominiums and townhomes that

share walls, floors, ceilings and ventilation systems moved forward Monday with a
unanimous City Council vote after nearly a
year of sometimes heated discussion.
Although the council acted unanimously
at its meeting Monday, it must approve the
ordinance again during a second reading set
for Nov. 17.
The council has spent more than a year
working to restrict smoking in Foster City
and has wavered on how to balance the
rights of private property owners with
ways to protect public health from unwanted exposure to secondhand smoke.
We looked at it from a different perspective. Instead of looking at it from the ownership side, which we were all reluctant to
deal with, we looked at it from the design
perspective, Councilman Steve Okamoto
said. So, if a unit is sharing a common
ceiling, wall or ventilation system, than
we would ban it in that unit. But if its free
standing, than we wouldnt ban it at all.
If the ordinance passes, smoking would
also be forbidden in all indoor and outdoor
common areas of the described multi-unit
dwellings. However, smoking may be permitted in specifically designated and clearly marked areas at least 30 feet away from
an entrance or doorway. If the area is
indoors, it must be fully enclosed and ventilated.
This wasnt the first time the council
moved to a second reading to include shared
housing units in its smoking ban and former attempts failed as some were concerned
about regulating what people do in their
homes.
Mayor Charlie Bronitsky previously
expressed concern about government
infringing on private property rights, but
said hes confident this proposed ordinance
will be enacted.
I think that was a good balance and com-

promise. I do not expect further amendments in the short term, Bronitsky wrote
in an email.
The council also struggled with coming
to a consensus on banning smoking in outdoor portions of restaurants, of which there
is one establishment in the city that serves
hookah in up to 50 percent of its outdoor
seating area. There are no current plans to
bring that facet back to council, Okamoto
said.
After tabling these two controversial
caveats in July, the council was able to
move forward with its new ordinance that
currently prohibits smoking on any cityowned property like streets and parks, during public events and within an expanded
50-foot-buffer zone around commercial
spaces.
Smoking is allowed on privately owned
single-family homes and the fines for violating the ordinance have been raised to
$250 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for each offense thereafter.
However, the city has stressed it will first
focus on education before issuing fines.
Although the councilmembers may have
had their disagreements over the year on
how to go about protecting the public from
unwanted exposure to secondhand smoke,
Okamoto said hes confident in the process
and outcome.
I think its as good as we could have
done, Okamoto said. We took time doing
it and we looked at the entire ordinance bit
by bit instead of just going to do the whole
thing at once. So we were very careful and
very thoughtful.
The council must approv e the ordinance
at a second reading set for Nov. 17, after
which it would go into effect 30 day s later.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

irst of all, we all have to learn

not to say 15 acres anymore. The ofcial name of the
site adjacent to City Hall on the north
and the PJCC on the south is Foster
Square. So, whats going on at
Foster Square?
Theres been a lot of activity going
on with bulldozers and trucks going
in and out of the site. Its easy to say
that the building of the new senior
homes and retail site is actually
beginning and we should soon be
enjoying our favorite cup of coffee at
the many restaurants that will be populating the area.
Whoa, not so fast. Whats going on
is not really the start of the building phase of Foster Square. Because
of the soil conditions and high water
table found here in Foster City, the
actual construction of buildings and
their respective foundations have to
be securely supported by the sub-soil.
So, before the actual construction
starts the engineers have to compact
the soil using a process called surcharging.
Now the question is: What is surcharging?
When large commercial buildings
are erected strong foundations are
required. Normally piles are driven
deep into the ground to securely
anchor the structure. However, pile
driving is both expensive and quite a
noise nuisance. Engineers have come
up with a more economical and quieter
solution called surcharging. Simply
put, soil is deposited on the area
where buildings will be constructed.
Tons and tons of soil create weight
which compresses the soil underneath. This not only compacts the
soil but squishes out a lot of water. To

remove the water,

thousands of wicks
are installed in the
ground to direct the
water to the surface
which is then collected and
removed.
The soil remains
on the surface for
four or ve months and then is moved
over to the next area where buildings
will be constructed. The same
sequence of compaction and wicking
will occur for each of the three phases. When the nal area of construction has been surcharged then that
same soil will be spread out over the
proposed parking lot to make it nice
and level.
The nal map was approved Oct. 6
and the $30 million sale of the property has closed escrow. A check for $9
million was transferred into the citys
account from The New Home
Company (TNHC) and the deed was
recorded so now the developers can
really start with the real construction.
The nal payment of $21 million will
be paid over the next 22 months.
TNHC has received approval to start
grading and preparing the building
pads for development. The next steps
in the development of the site are to
obtain building permits for each
phase. MidPeninsula Housing is processing its building permit as we
speak and will begin construction in
early December. Construction will
take approximately 18 months.
Atria, the assisted living developer,
is nalizing their construction plans
and will be submitting sometime after
the rst of the year. Their building
will take about 18 months to construct. TNHC is also nalizing construction plans for the rst phase of
the for-sale condominiums which will
be submitted soon and they should

Guest
perspective
start building in early 2015. Those
buildings will take approximately 10
months to construct.
Now the folks at Atria, because of
the number of stories in their building, will still be using the traditional
pile driving method of creating a
strong foundation so we will get some
noise. But, since the footprint of this
building is not huge, the pile driving
noise should be just for a short time.
Speaking of noise, you folks on the
east side of town, are the arriving
planes still overying your neighborhood? And those of you on the southwestern side of town, do the takeoffs
from San Carlos Airport annoy you?
Let me give you two telephone numbers to call to register your complaints. These numbers are recorded
message takers. When your hear those
planes, both SFO and San Carlos
Airport want you to call their respective hotline numbers and give them
the time of day and your location. An
exact address is not necessary, for
example, the 800 block of Beach
Park would sufce. The folks at San
Carlos will certainly take care of the
problem. Its hotline number is
(650) 573-2666. They seem to want
to be good neighbors. Please call SFO
to document your complaints. Its

Creating affordable housing
Editor,
The guest perspective by Steve
Blanton of SAMCAR in the Oct. 31
edition of the Daily Journal is a highly misleading attempt to scare people
about rent control. This may be a tting trick for Halloween but it only
serves to undermine efforts to address
a housing crisis that has spiraled out
of control and is causing untold hardship for tens of thousands of households across the county. As a
researcher, it is clear to me that
Blanton is unfamiliar with the
research and the reality of rent control. As with any legislation, there
are well-written and strictly enforced
rent control ordinances and there are

East Palo Alto, apparently to attack
rent control, but EPA is one of the
last communities in the county
affordable to lower income households because it has good rent control
legislation.
Blantons claim that putting annual
limits on rent increases is punitive
makes about as much sense as claiming that regulating pollution or food
safety is punitive. The reality is that
rent control will help thousands of
struggling households and communities across the county. Strong rent
control legislation together with
effective protections for renters

ust as we must let go of dead philosophies,

illusions and old science to confront reality,
so a country must keep challenging its traditions if it is to be transformed. Marilyn Ferguson,
The Aquarian Conspiracy.
We enjoyed watching the National League playoffs and
the especially exciting World Series, rooting for the
Giants all the way and amazed and delighted when they
pulled it off so extraordinarily. And, of course, we viewed
various renditions of the National Anthem (one that juxtaposed the lyrics) and God
Bless America. It always
makes me think about the
messages these songs
send. As I see it, the rst
basically glories war. As
for the second, why on
Earth should God bless
America? Im sure that if
there were a God that had
such powers, she would be
looking down upon us and
shaking her head in dismay
when considering the state
of the United States today.
It seems that we, as a
nation, like to think that
we have a special connection to God, that we are Gods
chosen, and God will bless us if we ask. Never mind how
we carry on. Whatever spirituality we may in the distant
past demonstrated as a nation has been lost in the shufe
of greedy little men who are hell-bent on accumulating as
much wealth and power for themselves as possible and a
bunch of politicians with sclerotic minds. As Ferguson
wrote in 1980, Someone is always trying to summon us
back to a dead allegiance: Back to God, the simple minded
religion of an earlier day. Back to Basics, simple-minded
education. Back to simple-minded patriotism.
There is something important missing and it is the kind
of spirituality that is the essential ingredient of an honest, responsible, decent and compassionate life the
kind of spirituality that has obviously evaded many of our
leaders, even though they all profess a religious connection. From what I have gathered from many philosophical
gurus including Erich Fromm, Richard Dawkins and
Marilyn Ferguson spirituality is a way of being that is
demonstrated by the life orientation of a person
whether religious or not. He guides his life with a healthy
conscience since he knows how good he feels and how
much happier he is when he has listened to his inner voice
that helps him make choices leading to the well-being of
all. He is the one who has a sense of purpose of making, in whatever way he can, the world a better place for
everyone.
It is impossible to be spiritual while grabbing as much
of the material world as possible for yourself, no matter
how often you attend religious services. A spiritual politician doesnt stretch the truth to possibly gain a few
votes. A CEO who is spiritual does not think he is entitled
to earn over 700 times the average of his hourly wage
earners. A spiritual politician doesnt give tax breaks to
corporations and the wealthy, while there are children in
this country who are hungry, go to dilapidated schools and
live in poverty. He would never allow corporate contributors to determine how he votes on important issues that
affect the well-being of Americans.
The level of intelligence and integrity displayed by
those we elect to ofce is generally unimpressive. In fact,
it sometimes seems like our political system is designed
to select those whose narcissism and hunger for power
overwhelm their professed concern for the welfare of their
fellow citizens. Gordon Livingston, Too Soon Old,
Too Late Smart.
Despite the professed allegiance to God and all of the
purported church attendance, where is our spiritual core?
We delude ourselves with a lot of talk, including the mindless rendition of the National Anthem and God Bless
America, comfort ourselves with a lot of denial and
ignore the truth. Our cultural spiritual compass is increasingly drawn to and distorted by the magnetic eld of the
corporate world. We worship at the altar of corporate
interests that exploit us and we let them get away with it.
We adulate the wealthy, the notorious and egocentric and
even the crass and depraved and pay little attention to
people who are thoughtful, erudite, wise, compassionate
and generous.
Maybe it would be more appropriate to change under
God in our Pledge of Allegiance to under greed. Or better, maybe we should wake up to the fact that if we believe
that there is a God who can bless America, it might be a
good idea to act like we deserve it.
As William Derestewicz wrote in his brilliantly insightful and thoroughly engrossing book, Excellent Sheep
the Miseducation of the American Elite and the way to a
Meaningful Life; It is time to imagine what a different
society would look like, and to gather the courage to get
there.

NEW YORK The ongoing slump in

oil prices weighed on stocks again
Tuesday, pushing energy companies to
another day
of big
losses.
Disappointing earnings outlooks from
a range of companies, including
Priceline and Michael Kors, also
dragged down the market.
Oil has fallen sharply in recent
weeks as global supplies rise while
demand for fuel trails expectations. The
latest decline was prompted by reports
that Saudi Arabia is cutting the price of
oil that it supplies to the U.S. as it
attempts to maintain its market share
as U.S. production booms.
On Tuesday, U.S. crude oil fell 2 percent to $77.19 a barrel, the lowest
price in three years.
The drop in oil prices has hit energy
stocks hard, driving them into negative territory for the year. It has also
helped push the stock market back
from the record levels that it reached
last week.
Its a case of sell first, ask questions
later, for anything oil-related, said
Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at
Prudential Financial.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
5.71 points, or 0.3 percent, to
2,012.10. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 15.27 points, or 0.3 percent,

to 4,623.64. The Dow Jones industrial

average bucked the trend, edging up
17.60 points, or 0.1 percent, to
17,383.84.
While energy stocks are suffering,
many analysts and investors predict
that the U.S. economy will benefit in
the long run from falling energy costs.
Lower gas prices will put more money
in consumers pockets, giving them
more spending power.
Airlines were among the winners
Tuesday. Fuel is their single largest
operating cost and lower prices should
mean higher profits if demand for air
travel stays strong. Delta Airlines
surged $1.71, or 4.2 percent, to
$42.32. United Continental, Jet Blue
and Southwest Airlines also logged big
gains.
Investors kept an eye on third quarter
earnings reports as well.
Michael Kors fell the most in the
S&P 500 index. The maker of luxury
handbags, shoes and other accessories
gave an outlook for the fourth quarter
that disappointed investors. The stock
fell $6.57, or 8.4 percent, to $71.42.
Priceline also slumped. The online
travel booking company dropped
$100.82, or 8.4 percent, to $1,097.70
after it hinted that the weak economic
backdrop in Europe would hurt its earnings in the current quarter. Priceline
reported that its earnings rose 28 percent in the third quarter, but its outlook

for the current quarter fell short of analysts projections.

Investors will also be following the
outcome of the midterm elections.
Polling across the board gives
Republicans well over a 50 percent
chance of turning out at least six
incumbent Senate Democrats or capturing seats left vacant by Democrat
retirements. That outcome that would
put the opposition in charge of both
houses of Congress in the final two
years of Obamas second White House
term.
Some strategists say that even if
Republicans win both houses, it will
likely have little impact on the direction of the stock market in coming
months.
The reality is that youre still going
to have a Democratic president, and
very little is going to get done in the
last two years of his term, said David
Lafferty, chief market strategist at
Natixis Global Asset Management.
When elections really begin to matter
is probably going to be in the next
cycle.
The news from overseas may also
have discouraged buyers.
The European Union cut its already
low economic growth forecasts further
on Tuesday, indicating the recovery
will remain sluggish amid problems for
the biggest economies, particularly
France and Germany.

Oil prices tumble on Saudi discount move

By Pan Pylas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Oil prices slumped to multiyear lows on Tuesday after Saudi Arabia cut
the price of oil sold to the U.S., a move that
is shaking an already volatile market but
will likely give the world economy an unexpected stimulus.
The 25 percent or so slide in oil prices
since the summer could boost consumer
spending and business investment in many
economies around the world as fuel bills fall.
But not everyones a winner. Oil producing countries like Russia and Venezuela,
which have high extraction costs and whose
budgets rely on assumptions of relatively
high energy prices, stand to lose out. And

lower prices could eventually slow down

booming production in the U.S., offsetting
the benefit of lower energy costs for consumers and businesses.
U.S. oil dropped another 2 percent
Tuesday to $77.19, at one point falling to
$75.84, the lowest level since October
2011. It was trading at $100 a barrel as
recently as July. Brent, the international
benchmark, declined 2.3 percent, to
$82.82, having earlier fallen to $82.08, its
lowest level in just over four years.
Adam Slater, senior economist at Oxford
Economics, reckons the recent fall in oil
prices, if sustained, could add around 0.4 percent to GDP in the U.S. in two years, and a
little less in Europe. China, which is the
second-largest oil consumer and on track to

become the largest net importer of oil, could

see GDP 0.8 percent higher than it otherwise
would have been.
This is similar to a surprise stimulus,
said Slater.
Though a drop in demand is a factor in the
current slump amid concerns over global
growth, Slater says supply-side factors are
having a much bigger impact than back in
2008, when demand plummeted as the global economy tanked. The rise of fracking in
the U.S., the return of oil output from Iraq
and Libya and Saudi Arabias willingness to
resist production cuts have combined to
weigh on prices.
On Monday, Saudi Arabia, OPECs largest
oil producer, cut prices for customers in the
U.S. The move has been interpreted as an

Rocket crash stirs uncertainty about space tourism

By Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELE Federal accident

investigators have an early sense of
what went wrong before an experimental spaceship designed to ferry
tourists beyond the Earths atmosphere broke apart during a test flight.
But they still dont know why the
craft prematurely shifted its shape
prior to the deadly crash.
And another question looms: How
far will the accident push back the day
when paying customers can routinely
rocket dozens of miles into the sky
for a fleeting feeling of weightlessness and a breathtaking view?

National Transportation Safety

Board investigators worked Monday
at the main wreckage area where
Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo fell
to the ground in the Mojave Desert,
but also collected tiny debris 35
miles away. The accident killed the
co-pilot and badly injured the pilot
who parachuted out of the ship
Friday.
Acting
NTSB
Chairman
Christopher Hart said cockpit video
and data showed that the co-pilot
unlocked SpaceShipTwos unique
feathering system earlier than
planned. The system works somewhat
like the wing flaps that airplanes use
to slow for landing except that

SpaceShipTwos twin tails rotate up at

a far more extreme angle, to a position that creates strong resistance and
slows the descent.
But while the co-pilot unlocked the
system before planned, that action
alone should not have been enough to
change the crafts configuration.
Activating the feathering system
requires the pulling of a lever not
unlike how a gun fires only when the
trigger is pulled, not just because the
safety has been disengaged.
Questions abound: Why did the copilot activate the system at that
moment? Why did the tails begin to
rotate without the co-pilot starting
that process?

Activision Blizzard tops estimates, lifts forecast

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA MONICA Activision

Blizzard Inc., maker of the blockbuster
Call of Duty video game franchise,
said Tuesday that strong sales led to
better-than-expected results for its
third quarter and raised its full-year
forecast. The stock jumped in afterhours trading.
Activision said sales of its
Destiny and World of Warcraft
games helped drive adjusted revenue up
78 percent in the three months that

ended in September to $1.17 billion.

That topped analysts forecast for
$991.8 million, according to Zacks,
and last years revenue of $657 million.
The company gained 7.4 million
subscribers to World of Warcraft during the quarter, ahead of its release of
Warlords of Draenor. The company
also raised its full-year outlook as it
prepares for sales of the latest Call of
Duty installment which was released
Monday.
Activision reported a quarterly loss

of $23 million, or 3 cents per share,

compared with a profit of $56 million,
or 5 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items it earned an
adjusted profit of 23 cents per share,
more than double the average 12-cent
estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks
Investment Research.
Activision Blizzard said that it
expects adjusted earnings of 86 cents
per share for its fourth quarter on revenue of $2.2 billion. It now expects to
earn $1.35 per share on revenue of
$4.8 billion.

attempt by the country to maintain its market share in the worlds largest economy
against supplies from the likes of Canada,
Mexico and Venezuela and U.S. shale oil
producers.
Phil Flynn, senior market analyst for the
Price Futures Group, said Saudi Arabias
move was directly aimed at those U.S. producers, who have boosted U.S. oil output to
the highest level in decades. As a result,
U.S. imports of crude oil from Saudi Arabia
dropped to 894,000 barrels a day in August,
down from 1.3 million barrels a day in the
same month a year ago.
Saudi Arabia is threatened by U.S. oil
production and they are acting to try to
break the U.S. producers back, Flynn wrote
in a daily newsletter to clients.

FireEye tops 3Q profit forecasts
MILPITAS Shares of FireEye slid 20 percent in extended trading Tuesday after the computer security software
developer booked weak revenue in the third quarter and
issued tepid guidance.
The Milpitas-based company said it had a third-quarter
loss of $120 million, or 83 cents per share. Losses, adjusted for one-time gains and costs, came to 51 cents per share.
The results exceeded Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for a loss of 56 cents per share.
The computer security software company posted revenue
of $114.2 million in the period, which fell short of Street
forecasts. Analysts expected $116.3 million, according to
Zacks.
For the current quarter ending in December, FireEye said it
expects revenue in the range of $135 million to $147 million. Analysts expect $143. 8 million, according to

Allergan deal inches forward with courts decision

In a win for Valeant and Pershing Square, a federal judge
has decided that they can vote in takeover target Allergans
upcoming shareholder meeting.
Botox maker Allergan said in a statement Tuesday that it
will file an emergency appeal.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and Pershing
Square Capital Management, run by activist investor Bill
Ackman, have made several offers for Allergan since April
but have been rebuffed. Valeants most recent offer amounted to about $53 billion. It has indicated that it is willing to
go higher.
Allergan is holding a special meeting on Dec. 18.
Shareholders can vote then on whether to replace the Irvinebased companys directors. A change in leadership could
increase support for the deal.

Aragon volleyball clinches Ocean crown

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The duel for the Peninsula Athletic League

Ocean Division came down to a heated
matchup Tuesday evening between host
Aragon and Half Moon Bay.
In the end, Aragon (13-0 in PAL Ocean,
28-4 overall) simply had too many go-to
weapons as the Dons clinched the PAL
Ocean Division title with a four-set victory
25-14, 20-25, 25-15, 25-21.
It was fitting on Senior Night at Aragon
that the Dons ranking veteran Miranda

Taylor lit it up with the evenings top performance.

Ive been looking forward to this for four
years, Taylor said. So, I was going to
make this fun.
What exactly is Taylors idea of fun?
Play as hard as you can and get a lot of
good kills, Taylor said.
She certainly did that. Taylor had a matchhigh 20 kills. The only fourth-year senior
on roster, she set the tone early with six
kills in Game 1 then proceeded to distribute
her offensive assault evenly throughout the
match.

With the PAL Ocean Division title,

Aragon is headed back to the Bay Division
where Dons head coach Kelsey Stiles is of
the opinion Aragon belonged all along. Her
teams performance this season makes it a
tough point to argue. From Sept. 20 to Oct.
11, the Dons went on a 14-match stretch
where they did not lose a single set. And
they did not drop a set in Ocean Division
play until last Tuesdays four-set victory
over Mills.
Yes, Tuesdays Game 2 loss to Half Moon
Bay which included eight unforced errors
was just the second set Aragon has

Panthers going to CCS

Woodside girls also punch its ticket with win over Aragon
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Burlingame boys water polo team had

plenty of fuel going into its second-round
match against Woodside in the Peninsula
Athletic League tournament Tuesday.
The Panthers along with Half Moon
Bay and Mills finished in a three-way tie
for third place in the PALs Bay Division,
with Mills winning a tiebreaker to earn the
divisions third automatic Central Coast
Section berth.
Then, the Panthers were given the No. 5
seed and a first-round game, while Woodside,
as the Ocean Division champion, received a
first-round bye.
Finally, the Burlingame-Woodside winner
would get the PALs final berth into the CCS
tournament.
With all that, Burlingame came out and
left no doubt it is a CCS-caliber team. The
Panthers jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead less
than halfway through the first period and
cruised to a 15-8 victory to punch their ticket to CCS.
Its huge. Getting back to CCS is huge,
said Burlingames Jed Rosen, who scored a
game-high seven goals, five of which came
in the first half.
There was definitely something there
(about perceived slight). They (the Wildcats)
were the higher seed and we had to wear our
away caps (at home), which is never good.
It was Rosen who led the charge for
Burlingame. He scored twice in the opening
2 minutes and 2 seconds of the match
including a nice drive to score off an assist
from Will Lowdon.
Rosen scored his third goal of the first
period on a fast break, scoring off a long
leadout pass from goalkeeper Reuben
Grossman. Woodside finally got on the
board when Adrian Moreno scored on a quick
restart, but Rosen gave the Panthers a threeNATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

topped all year in Ocean Division play.

Now, with the Dons set to host the Central
Coast Section playoff opener next
Wednesday, they actually have two falters to
grow on.
They know they need to come out in
every game and perfect everything because,
come next week, we should be hosting the
first round of CCS here. And thats their
goal, Stiles said.

With two weeks to go in the California

Tied atop the Bay 6 Conference with

through the conferences
two other top dogs to
assure themselves of a
playoff berth. Last season, CSM fell short of
this task in a different
qualifying structure

by finishing second in
conference play. But now, with the addition
of a Northern California wild card team,
there is some margin for error, but not much.
The Bulldogs remain focused on the task
at hand. The Bulldogs mantra states this
weeks opponent be it last Saturdays
struggling opponent Foothill or this weeks
powerhouse opponent DVC requires the
teams full and undivided attention.
Like our coaches say, we approach every
team like its a regular team, sophomore
running back D. J. Peluso said. We
approach every game the same and just come
out with the same intensity and focus.
Pelusos intensity was unmatched last
Saturday in a 63-10 victory over Foothill.
The sophomore rushed for 100 yards and
three touchdowns.
College plans are often subject to dramatic
change, especially at the junior college level.
Pelusos path certainly falls into this category.

49ers regroup after demoralizing loss to Rams

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Halfway through the

regular season, the San Francisco 49ers
know theres a sense of urgency in get
things turned around.
You could point fingers at anybody,
49ers safety Eric Reid said Tuesday. But
thats not what were going to do. Were
going to keep our focus on making the playoffs. We have to keep being persistent.

Sundays 13-10 home loss to the St. Louis

Rams means the 49ers (4-4) have little margin for error in the race for a playoff spot.
They missed a chance to pull into a tie
with the Seattle Seahawks for second place
behind Arizona in the NFC West.
San Franciscos faces Seattle twice and
Arizona once in its final eight games.
The 49ers travel to New Orleans to face
the Saints, who are also 4-4, on Sunday.
I think well respond, 49ers fullback
Bruce Miller said. Well have a good week

of practice. Were ready to do whatever we

need to do to win. I definitely think were at
a point where games become more mustwins. We have to get ourselves into a better
spot.
Four of the next five games are against
teams that are .500 or worse. The final three
games are against teams that have winning
records.
Right now its still the same, San
Francisco cornerback Perrish Cox said.
Well come in this week and get into a win-

ning mindset. We know what position we

are in and we need to stay on the same page
and turn this thing around.
One of the frustrating things about
Sundays game for the 49ers was how well
the defense played and how close the team
came to scoring the winning touchdown late
in the game.
Colin Kaepernick fumbled into the end
zone in the final seconds.

WNBA star Griner OK after knife attack

By Doug Feinberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WNBA star Brittney Griner felt fortunate to

be OK after getting cut on the elbow in a knife
attack in China.
Griner sustained a small cut when she was
attacked by a man while boarding a bus after
practice Monday in Shenyang. The man, who
followed the players onto the bus, also
stabbed one of Griners teammates. She was
wearing two jackets and wasnt injured
because the knife didnt go through.
I was thinking I was going to end up

stabbed in China and if he

got to us at the back of the
bus, I was going to have to
fight this man with a
knife, Griner said in an
email to the Associated
Press.
The man was yelling as
he chased the players onto
Brittney Griner the bus. She said he left
the scene, and then
returned covered in blood and was apprehended by Chinese authorities.
The guy was clearly either mentally ill or

very drunk, Griner said. He was yelling

about us hitting his wife and it was pretty clear
he had no idea who we were.
Despite the incident, Griner said she still
feels safe in China.
The game the next day had more security
than I had ever seen, she said. There were
three to four cops at every entrance. They were
everywhere and the team said they were going
to make sure and add more security now too.
Griner had 19 points, 11 rebounds and six
blocks in Tuesday nights win over Liaoning
Hengye.
The 6-foot-8 Griner plays in the WNBA

with the Phoenix Mercury and helped the team

win a championship this past September. She
led the league with a record 129 blocks and
was the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year.
She also led the U.S. to a gold medal last
month at the FIBA world championship.
We are thankful Brittney and her teammates are all okay after this incident, the
Mercury tweeted from their team account.
This is Griners second season in China and
first with the Beijing Great Wall.
She led Baylor to a 40-0 season and the
2012 NCAA title. She was the No. 1 pick by
the Mercury in the 2013 draft.

Stanford still unbeaten Dodgers hiring As

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Top-ranked Stanford volleyball looks to

keep its undefeated run going Wednesday
night against No. 20 Arizona.
The Cardinal are off to a 22-0 start overall
and are 12-0 in Pac-12 play. It is the programs best start since 1991 when Stanford
won 27 games to start the season.
Junior Madi Bugg continues to prove she
is one of the best setters in the nation. She
currently leads the NCAA with 12.07 sets
per set. Middle blocker tandem Merete Lutz
and Inky Ajanaku have been two of Buggs
biggest targets. Lutz leads the nation with a
.468 hitting percentage. Ajanaku ranks third
in the nation with a .462 attack percentage.
The Cardinal are coming off Sundays

the momentum back for Aragon with an
impressive kill to go up 6-4 in the set. It
wasnt just the point which impressed
though Aragon would go on to lead for the
remainder of the set but the athleticism
the 6-foot outside hitter demonstrated with a
high-hanging vertical from the left side was
a game-changer.
In Game 4, she had an equally critical kill.
After junior Anna Joshi gave the Dons a 4-3
lead off a tremendous set by Regan Castillo,
Taylor later punctuated a three-point run
with her first kill of the set to put Aragon up
6-3. The Dons would lead for the remainder
of the match.
Joshi brought her A-game as well with 11
kills. Sophomore Mel Moore had eight
kills. Castillo ran the offense like clockwork with 51 assists and also tabbed three
aces.
Half Moon Bay sophomore Hailey
Merkes paced the Cougars with 18 kills. It
was Merkes dazzling all-around play which
fueled Half Moon Bay to a win in Game 2;
and it also fueled the spirited Half Moon Bay
contingent of fans mostly parents
who made the trip to Aragon.
Half Moon Bay responded with a spirited
match, especially in the front row where
Merkes and junior middle Mia Cordes put on
an impressive blocking exhibition. Their
only fault against the depth of the Aragon
front row was the Cougars couldnt put most
of their blocks away. Nonetheless, they sure
did produce a lot of them.
We could have done a lot better with
blocking, Cordes said. We couldnt read
the hitters very well. They have really good
hitters.
Half Moon Bay head coach Ryan Havice
concurred with Cordes criticism. At one
point, the Cougars keyed on Taylor and
Joshi with a triple block.
One of the many things that cost us the
game is we focused too much on those two
hitters, Havice said. All of a sudden they
have these six other hitters that can hit the
ball just as well.
With just three graduating seniors, Half
Moon Bay has a promising future. The
Cougars still have a chance to qualify for an
at-large CCS bid. Postseason brackets will
be announced Sunday. Havice said Half
Moon Bays chances of qualifying are a 5050 toss up. Regardless, the season was a
success in the sense that the Cougars built
around a core of sophomores.
I talked about this with three [sophomores] at the beginning of the season,
Havice said. I said: You have three years to
go. Picture what you want your senior year
to look like and start working today to make
that happen.
All three of them really took that to heart

13th double-double of the

year with a match-high

was Stanfords first sweep

Aragon too is in great shape going forward. The Dons will graduate just four seniors. But their mission of proving this seasons PAL division format wrong isnt over
yet, as the Dons still have their first CCS
appearance in two years to go and the
goal of adding one more sweep to their
resume with Thursdays regular-season
finale at San Mateo.
We knew this was a big game, Taylor
said. Since we won thats fantastic, were
moving back up to the Bay (Division). So,
thats fantastic.

Farhan Zaidi as GM
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Los Angeles Dodgers

agreed to hire Oakland Athletics assistant
GM Farhan Zaidi as the clubs new general
manager, a person with knowledge of the
negotiations said.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity Tuesday night because the
Dodgers hadnt announced a deal with Zaidi,
who just completed his 10th season in
Oaklands front office as one of general
manager Billy Beanes creative assistants
and analysts. Zaidi will now work under new
Dodgers president of baseball operations
Andrew Friedman, who joined the team last
month from the Tampa Bay Rays.
Los Angeles won the NL West for the second straight season before losing the NL
Division Series in four games to St. Louis.
Friedman, a former Wall Street analyst
who turned the Rays into contenders in the
AL East was introduced by the Dodgers on
Oct. 17, and Zaidi are both respected businessmen and number crunchers who look to
build a roster with creative methods given
the financial challenges both have faced
with their small-budget teams.
The Dodgers had a major league-high
$256 million payroll this year, and now the
team desperately wants to take the next step
and compete for a World Series. Especially
after seeing the rival San Francisco Giants
win three of the last five championships.
Once Friedman left the Rays to replace
Ned Colletti, manager Joe Maddon followed

and was formally named manager by the

Chicago Cubs on Monday. Colletti is now a
senior adviser to team president and CEO
Stan Kasten.
In early February, the As promoted Zaidi
to assistant GM and director of baseball
operations. He earned his bachelors degree
in economics from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology in 1998 and a PhD in economics from the University of California at
Berkeley in 2011.
Zaidi has handled a big load on Beanes
staff, including playing a key role in the
acquisition of Cuban slugger and outfielder
Yoenis Cespedes before the 2012 season.
Cespedes, the two-time reigning Home Run
Derby champion, was traded to Boston for
left-hander Jon Lester at the July 31 trade
deadline. The As, who won the AL West in
2012 and 13, lost in the one-game wildcard playoff to World Series runner-up
Kansas City.
With the As, Zaidis areas of expertise
included providing statistical analysis for
evaluating and targeting players in the amateur draft, free agent and trade markets. He
also worked on arbitration cases, minor
league contracts and worked closely with
coaches to analyze data from advance scouting reports.
Zaidi previously served as business development associate for Small World Media,
the fantasy sports division of The Sporting
News, and also worked as a management
consultant for the Boston Consulting
Group.

Hamlin: Most drivers dont respect Keselowski

By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Denny Hamlin thinks

most drivers dont respect Brad Keselowski,
and the contempt stems from the 2012
NASCAR champions refusal to show any
remorse for his aggressive driving.
Hamlin spoke during a national conference
call on Tuesday, two days after a brawl between
Keselowski and Jeff Gordon on pit road at Texas
Motor Speedway.
Hamlin said the consensus among his peers
was Keselowski didnt have enough space to
attempt a pass of Gordon in the closing laps of
Sundays race. Keselowskis bid to squeeze his
car through a gap between Gordon and Jimmie
Johnson after a restart led to contact between
Gordon and Keselowski, which triggered a
post-race fight that left both drivers slightly
bloodied.
I think the challenge a lot of drivers probably have right now with Brad is theres no
remorse, Hamlin said. He has the right to feel

the way that he feels but when theres no

accountability ... theyre going to be upset
with you.
Its tough to win a championship if nobody
likes you. That is going to be a very, very
tough task.
Hamlin and Keselowski infamously feuded
for three seasons and it came to a head in 2009
when they tangled repeatedly on the track in
the Nationwide Series. Hamlin complained
repeatedly that Keselowski refused to engage in
reasonable conversation about their incidents.
The two raced incident-free for many years
and had their first major scrap last month at
Charlotte, where Keselowski lost his cool following the race. Hamlin had to be restrained
from confronting him, and Matt Kenseth
jumped Keselowski from behind in the darkened garage.
Keselowski was fined $50,000 by NASCAR
for his behavior, but Hamlin and Kenseth went
unpunished.
Keselowski then overcame a week of criticism from his peers to win at Talladega and

advance into the third round of the Chase for

the Sprint Cup championship. Then on
Sunday, Keselowski used an aggressive move
on Gordon to try to win the race.
It led to contact with Gordon that caused the
four-time champion to spin after his tire went
down. Gordon went from racing for the win to a
29th-place finish Sunday, and he confronted
Keselowski on pit road. Kevin Harvick shoved
Keselowski from behind that triggered a brawl
between the teams and drivers.
Youre just looking for someone to say,
Man, Im sorry I ruined your day. I screwed up.
I apologize, Hamlin said. When that doesnt
get said, then it immediately lights a fire in
your stomach that he doesnt have any
remorse. Hes just like, Oh well, its your
problem.
That just lights a fire in your inside.
Especially when you just had a bad day and your
season could have rested on that. That really set
things off. If Brad would have talked to Jeff, and
said, Man, I was going for a hole, it was my
only chance, Im really sorry it cut your tire.

Continued from page 11

A two-year varsity standout while at El Camino, Peluso
excelled on both sides of the ball. In his senior season of
2011, he was honored as an All-San Mateo County running
back and was also named Peninsula Athletic League
Offensive Player of the Year. As a defensive player, he earned
the PAL Linebacker of the Year nod.
Yet, Peluso was not recruited to play football out of high
school. As a result, he opted to pursue a career as a firefighter, which brought him to CSM with the intention of majoring in fire technology. Peluso had hung up his football
cleats by the time he arrived at CSM in the fall of 2012.
Pelusos retirement was short-lived, however, after he got
some encouragement from his former high school football
coach.
He wanted me to try out, but I wasnt really talking to any
of the (CSM) coaches, Peluso said. I just figured Id come
out and give it a shot and if it didnt work out, Id be a fireman.
That coach was former El Camino head coach Mark Turner,
who placed a call to CSM on Pelusos behalf.
The coach from El Camino called and said: Try this guy
out for me and let me know, CSM head coach Bret Pollack
said. [Peluso] showed some spunk. He showed some aggressiveness. He showed some promise and after a greyshirt year
he kept improving and hes where he is now.
Peluso chose to focus on the offensive side of the ball once
he earned a greyshirt spot. But when his freshman clock
started when he was placed on roster last season, he converted to slot receiver where CSM could use his rushing prowess
in sweep formations as part of the double-wing attack.
Behind sophomore standout George Nauhafus 1,183
ground yards, Peluso was CSMs second most productive running back last season with 523 yards, while quarterback
Casey Wichman was better with 760 rushing yards. A majority of Pelusos total was based on nonleague play though, as
he debuted with 159 yards against Laney College, which still
stands as his career high.
Saturday against Foothill was his second highest rushing
total of the season, and his best ever in conference play.
Sept. 27 in a 52-7 win over Delta, he ran for a season-high
117 yards.
I think hes much better this year, Pollack said after
Saturdays win. His game against Laney (last year) was
exceptional, and after that I never saw D.J. again with a lot
of life on him like today.

Instead, it was, Oh well, sorry buddy. You left a

hole. If he did that to me, I would have had the
same reaction as Jeff. No question.
Hamlin has a sense of the feelings in the
garage because hes part of a group text message chain of 20 drivers, one of which is
Keselowski. Twice on Tuesday he referred to a
common feel amongst drivers, including the
sentiment that the hole was not large enough
for Keselowski to try to squeeze past Gordon.
People are calling that a hole, that was a
very small hole, he said. It was not enough
that a car was going to fit without being in contact with Jeff. Somebody was going to have to
pay the price. It was Jeff Gordon. And it made
him have a bad day.
Gordon, who before the restart was headed to
a victory that would have earned him an automatic berth into the Nov. 16 championship
finale, dropped to fourth in the Chase standings. Only four drivers will race for the title,
and Keselowski is seventh in the standings
with Sundays race at Phoenix remaining to set
the field.

Peluso had to forego the non-transferable units of the fire

technology program to concentrate on transferable general
education classes in hopes of playing football at a four-year
college. He received his Associate in Arts degree in the
spring.
Its for the better for sure, Peluso said. I got my head on
straight and I got my school done and got my AA in social
science and got it done.
The goal of pursuing a career as a firefighter is still in the
cards though.
If I get the opportunity to go to a four-year, hopefully Ill
come back and go through the fire program here, Peluso
said.
The No. 2-ranked Bulldogs take on No. 10 DVC Saturday at
1 p.m. in CSMs regular-season home finale. The Bulldogs
are currently tied with No. 4 CCSF for first place in the Bay
6. DVC trails by one game.
We just do what we do, Pollack said. To say we turn it up
for [DVC] assumes that we didnt turn it up before. So, we
approach each game the same.

Playoffs open today for CSM water polo

CSM won five of its last six regular-season matches to
clinch third place in the Coast Conference to storm into the
postseason via an at-large bid.
The Bulldogs open the Coast Conference finals Wednesday
at CSM against De Anza at 3:30 p.m. The two teams met earlier this season, with CSM winning 19-5.
The winner of Wednesdays playoff opener will advance to
Fridays semifinal at West Valley at 3:30 p.m. The championship round is Saturday.
Our goals this season were to finish top three in conference, we did that, CSM head coach Randy Wright said. Now
the next goal is to get to the championship game at the conference tournament. Well find out Friday if well do that.
CSMs offense is led by freshman Tayler OConnor, who
paces the Bulldogs with 73 goals. Sophomore Shelby
Chung was in the mix with 68 goals.
Everybody is there, were healthy, Wright said. Were
very competitive games. Were at the final phase of the season and the final phase of my building-blocks style of
coaching. It all comes together at the end.
It has been a long road after a tough go at the outset of the
season, as CSM settled on an eight-player roster.
To put them together to make it flow does sometimes take
a little degree of luck, Wright said. But it also does take a
degree of understanding. Its really clicked and were really playing our best ball late.

Royals, Orioles each win three Gold Gloves, Molina seventh

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK All those snazzy plays by

Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and Salvador
Perez earned them more than tips of the hat
from their Kansas City teammates.
The Royals trio wound up snagging Gold
Gloves, too.
It was something that was pretty special
to watch, Gordon said.
Three Baltimore players also were honored by Rawlings on Tuesday for fielding
excellence, as was St. Louis catcher Yadier
Molina for the seventh year in a row.

We just wanted to come out strong and
make a statement were ready for CCS, said
Burlingame coach Thomsen Young. Jed did a
fantastic job.
Rosen said the fact the Panthers had to play
a first-round game may have benefited the
team, while Woodsides bye may have affected
their start.
They (Woodside) came out a little rusty,
Rosen said. Through our last league game and
the first-round (playoff) game, weve come out
firing.
In the second period, Lowdon joined Rosen
in the Burlingame goal parade. He scored three
times in the second quarter, including the first
of the period when he stole the ball from
Woodside just as the Wildcats were setting up
their offense. Lowdon broke in on goal and
scored for a 5-1 Panthers lead.
Woodside, however, got back into the
match by scoring the next two goals, cutting
its deficit to 5-3. The first goal came from
Giorgio Fatica and the second from Moreno.
Burlingame answered, however, with four
straight unanswered goals. Rosen scored his
fifth goal of the match, a power-play strike off

The Royals paid tribute to each other

throughout a run to the World Series, tipping their caps after fine plays. Kansas City
lost in seven games to San Francisco
none of the Giants won Glove Gloves.
The whole entire team, what we did
defensively all year, thats part of our
game, Hosmer said on a conference call.
Gordon, who began his career as a third
baseman before becoming a regular left
fielder, won for the fourth straight year.
Perez at catcher and Hosmer at first base
have two wins apiece.
Weve said from day one, if you cant

play defense, theres probably not a spot for

you in our everyday lineup, Royals general
manager Dayton Moore said.
Perez said he thought Royals outfielder
Lorenzo Cain, third baseman Mike
Moustakas and shortstop Alcides Escobar
could win Gold Gloves in the near future.
Managers and coaches voted for the
awards in their own leagues. The Society for
American Baseball Researchs Defensive
Index factored about 25 percent into the
results.
Gold Gloves have often been among the
most discussed and disputed of the postsea-

son awards.
More advanced ways of measuring glovework such as Ultimate Zone Rating and
Defensive WAR have sometimes overtaken
statistics such as errors and fielding percentage that often determined the winners.
Reputation also carried a lot of weight over
the years.
Cincinnati and Philadelphia, the top two
teams in the majors this year by fielding
percentage, didnt have any winners.
Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones won

scored his second of the quarter off an assist

Max Untrecht scored off a 5-meter penalty
shot to close Woodsides deficit to 9-4 at halftime.
After the teams traded goals to start the second half Lowdon tallied for Burlingame
while Mitchell Martin scored for the Wildcats
Burlingame scored the final three goals of

scoring column for Burlingame with a backhanded goal, Lowdon scored his fifth goal of
the match, while Rosen ended his night with
another fast-break score.
After that, Thomsen emptied his bench,
enabling Woodside to outscore Burlingame 32 over the final seven minutes. Untrecht,
Benjamin Loewen and Fatica rounded out the
scoring for the Wildcats, while Burlingame
got goals from Brady Kiesling and Michael

U.S. prosecutors: A-Rod

blackmailed by cousin
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI The U.S. government says New

York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez gave his
cousin nearly $1 million last year to keep
secret Rodriguezs use of performance enhancing drugs.
In court documents filed last week in Miami,
federal prosecutors said Rodriguez made four
wire payments totaling $900,000 between
June 2013 and September 2013 to settle a
threatened lawsuit by Yuri
Sucart, who had worked as
Rodriguezs
personal
assistant. The total value
of that settlement could be
nearly $2 million, when
factoring in other elements of the deal such as a
home, a car and insurance.
Sucart, in a letter from
Alex Rodriguez his lawyer, threatened to
expose Rodriquezs PED
use if he wasnt given $5 million and a home.
Unfortunately for you, litigation with you
over his employment agreement will reveal
all of the duties you instructed Yuri to perform,
so he can prove in court what he earned, what
you owe him for services rendered and what
you promised, Sucart attorney Jeffrey Sonn
wrote in a proposed settlement letter to
Rodriguez dated Dec. 18, 2012.
A spokesman for Rodriguez did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.
The payments from Rodriguez to Sucart were
revealed after the government said Sucart did
not fully disclose his personal financial situation during the process that would determine if
he should pay some portion of the costs related to having a federal public defender. The

government said Rodriguez also paid Sucart

about $500,000 in salary from 2008 through
2013.
Sucart, according to the documents, told the
court he does not own a house or a car, but the
government alleges that he does pursuant to
the settlement with Rodriguez.
Sucart, in that proposed settlement that
stemmed from what he said was a wrongful termination by Rodriguez, asked for $5 million
and a life estate for he and his wife.
In return, Sucart offered continued silence
and even a willingness to remain Rodriguezs
personal assistant if so desired.
As part of the settlement, court records show
Rodriguez is also spending up to $300,000 to
provide medical insurance for Sucart and his
family for five years. He also provided Sucart
with a 2009 Chevrolet Suburban and the right
to stay in a home he owns for five years
with the promise that the house, which lists
Alexander E. Rodriguez as its owner, would be
deeded to Sucart if the terms of the deal including preservation of confidential information were all satisfied.
The Daily News of New York first reported
the contents of the new suit and related filings.
Sucart was charged in August with conspiring to distribute testosterone and human
growth hormone. He has pleaded not guilty
and is scheduled for trial in February.
The charges are related to work prosecutors
said Sucart did with Biogenesis of America.
That now-closed anti-aging clinics owner,
Anthony Bosch, has already pleaded guilty
and is cooperating with investigators.
Sucart is among a group accused of acting as
recruiters who set up meetings between athletes and Bosch, authorities said. Professional

VikingsPeterson avoids jail in plea deal

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONROE, Texas Minnesota

Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided jail Tuesday by reaching a deal
with Texas prosecutors to resolve a
child abuse case that revived a
national debate about corporal punishment.
Peterson was sentenced to a form
of probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of
reckless assault for using a wooden
switch to discipline his 4-yearold son. It was
not immediately
clear how the
plea deal would
affect his playing status or
whether
he
might
be
subAdrian
ject to a new
Peterson
NFL policy that
calls for a six-game suspension
without pay for a first domestic violence offense.
The All-Pro running back was
indicted in September on a felony
charge of injury to a child after the
incident earlier this year in suburban Houston. He has been on paid
leave under a special exemption
from NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell.
I stand here and I take full
responsibility for my actions. I
love my son more than anyone of
you could even imagine and Im
anxious to continue my relationship with my child, Peterson said
outside the courthouse after accepting the plea deal.
Im just glad this is over, he
added. I can put this behind me, and

me and my family can continue to

move forward.
He was not allowed to be near his
son while the case was pending, but
now can resume having contact with
the boy.
Adrian wants to get on with his
life and have his relationship with
his son and get back to playing
football, Petersons attorney,
Rusty Hardin, said.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy
said the league cannot provide a
timetable for that.
We will review the matter,
including the court record, and then
make a determination on his status, McCarthy said.
Peterson is one of a handful of
NFL players who have been
involved in domestic violence cases
lately, including Carolina Panthers
defensive end Greg Hardy, Arizona
Cardinals running back Jonathan
Dwyer and, most infamously, former Baltimore Ravens running back
Ray Rice.
After receiving plenty of criticism for initially handing Rice only
a two-game suspension, Goodell
announced in August that he was
toughening the leagues punishments for domestic violence.
Attention to the issue rose considerably in September, when a
video surfaced showing Rice knocking out his then-fiancee and now
wife in a casino elevator; he soon
was cut by the Ravens and indefinitely barred by the league.
Peterson has said he never intended to harm his son and was disciplining him in the same way he had
been as a child growing up in East
Texas. The boy suffered cuts, marks
and bruising to his thighs, back and
one of his testicles, according to

season.

court records.
Peterson had tentatively been set
to go on trial Dec. 1. If he had been
convicted of the felony charge, he
could have faced up to two years in
prison and a $10,000 fine. Instead,
he received two years of deferred
adjudication, a form of probation.
He was fined $4,000 and must complete parenting classes and perform
80 hours of community service.
His no contest plea wasnt an
admission of guilt but was treated as
such for sentencing.
Peterson will have no travel
restrictions. If he completes his
probation without incident, the
misdemeanor charge will be
removed from his record.
Montgomery County District
Attorney Brett Ligon said he
believed the plea agreement was in
the best interest of Petersons son.
The probation is all about making him a better parent, Ligon said.
Last month, a visiting judge
denied a request by prosecutors to
have a new judge appointed to the
case. Prosecutors had accused
Montgomery County state District
Judge Kelly Case of being biased
against them.
The plea deal made moot a pending motion by prosecutors to
revoke Petersons $15,000 bond for
alleged marijuana use while he was
out of bond. Peterson will, however, be subject to random drug tests
under the agreement.
Corporal punishment is on the
decline in the U.S. but still widely
practiced in homes and schools. In
every state in the country, a parent
can legally hit their child as long as
the force is reasonable. But whats
considered reasonable varies from
place to place.

Braves right fielder Jason Heyward and

Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado.
To be able to be recognized defensively
is pretty special, considering that really
wasnt my reputation, coming into the big
leagues, Yelich said. Its cool feeling
youre a complete player.
Molina is tied with Bob Boone for third
place for most Gold Gloves by a catcher.
Ivan Rodriguez won 13 and Johnny Bench
10 in awards that began in 1957.
Gonzalez and Pedroia each earned a
$100,000 bonus for winning and Hardy,
Jones and Markakis will get $75,000 each.
Gordon, Molina and Perez made $50,000
apiece and Simmons and Heyward earned
$25,000 each.
The Gold Glove triggered contract escalators for Perez, with the price of Kansas
Citys options rising from $3.75 million to
$3,825,000 in 2017, from $5 million to
$5.15 million in 2018 and $6 million to
$6.3 million in 2019.
Rodriguez admitted six years ago he used
performance-enhancing substances while
with Texas from 2001-03, and has denied
usage since.
Rodriguez played in just 44 games in the
2013 season, hitting seven home runs to
increase his career total to 654, fifth-most
in baseball history.
He is still owed $61 million on the final
three years of his contract with the Yankees
and will turn 40 next July. He could receive
an additional $6 million each for five milestones that the team designates as historic
achievements, the next of those believed to
be tying Willie Mays 660 home runs for
No. 4 on the all-time list.

Lava spares family headstone in Hawaii cemetery
HONOLULU As slow-moving lava approached a cemetery in a rural Hawaii town, Aiko Sato placed flowers at the
headstone of the family plot shes tended to over the years,
thinking it would be the last time she would see it.
I made peace with myself, Sato said Monday of visiting
the Pahoa Japanese Cemetery on Oct. 23. A few days later,
lava smothered part of the cemetery and the family believed
the headstone had been buried.
But a photo taken Oct. 28 by a scientist documenting the
lavas progress showed the headstone engraved with the
Sato name standing in a sea of black lava.
I feel like its a miracle, said Sato, 63. I know subsequent breakouts could cover the grave, but at least I know it
survived, like, a first round.
The lavas flow stalled over the weekend, remaining early
Monday about 480 feet from Pahoa Village Road, which
goes through downtown. A breakout of the flow remained
about 100 yards from a house. Residents in the area have left
or are preparing to leave.
President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration for
the lava Monday, allowing for federal emergency help with
issues such as repairs and restoration, Gov. Neil
Abercrombies office said.

Appeals court takes on NSA surveillance case

Police: Abducted womans

ATM card used in Maryland
PHILADELPHIA A bank card belonging to a woman
abducted from a Philadelphia street was used the next morning in Maryland by a man whose grainy image was caught
on bank cameras, police said Tuesday as relatives tearfully
pleaded for her return.
Detectives said the security images show a man using
Carlesha Freeland-Gaithers card at 6 a.m. Monday at an
ATM just off a highway exit for Aberdeen, about 75 miles
from Philadelphia. The transaction occurred less than nine
hours after the reported abduction Sunday night.
Philadelphia police released a series of the images late
Tuesday. The man in the pictures is wearing a hoodie, and
the pictures that reveal his face are dark and blurry.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Three federal

appeals court judges struggled Tuesday
over whether the National Security
Agencys phone data surveillance program is an intelligence-gathering tool
that makes the nation safer or an intrusive threat that endangers privacy.
The judges all appointed by
Republican presidents expressed
uncertainty about where to draw the
line between legal surveillance and
violations of constitutional rights in
the age of terrorism.
Since 2006, the FBI has obtained
orders from the secret Foreign

Intelligence Surveillance Court directing phone companies to produce telephone metadata outgoing phone
numbers dialed and numbers from
incoming calls to the government.
The NSA consolidates the records
into a searchable database in the hunt
for terror suspects.
During the hour-and-a-half hearing,
Judge David Sentelle questioned
whether it is an invasion of privacy if
the NSA simply collects the data, stopping short of using it.
Is it not an invasion with mere collection? asked Sentelle.
It is not, replied Justice Department
lawyer H. Thomas Byron.
Arguing against the NSA program,

activist attorney Larry Klayman disputed Byron, telling Judge Janice

Rogers Brown that collection is
enough to justify pursuing the lawsuit
against the government.
It is Klaymans legal burden to show
that he has been harmed by the program an issue that threatens to
derail his lawsuit and which clearly
frustrated him during the court proceeding. The issue comes down to Klayman
having to prove that his phone company was a participant in the NSA surveillance. Klayman is a Verizon
Wireless customer, but the government has acknowledged only that a
separate Verizon company turned over
records to the government.

Mexican mayor, wife detained in case of 43 missing

By E. Eduardo Castillo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY Mexicos most-wanted

couple, accused of running their town as a
drug fiefdom and ordering an attack that
killed six and left 43 college students missing, were caught Tuesday in a rough-andtumble neighborhood of Mexico City where
they were hiding.
Federal police seized Jose Luis Abarca and
his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda, in a
raid before dawn in Iztapalapa, a workingclass neighborhood of the capital. It was a
far fall from their reign of wealth and power
as the mayor and first lady of Iguala, a town
in southern Guerrero state where the students from a teachers college went missing
Sept. 26, allegedly at the hands of police
and a drug cartel.
Even as they were hauled off to the
Attorney Generals organized crime unit to
give their statements, the capture did nothing to answer the biggest mystery: Where
are the students? Their disappearance, and
the failure to make progress in the case, has
ignited protests across the country and
broadsided President Enrique Pena Nietos
efforts to paint violence in Mexico as a
thing of the past.
News like this just makes you angrier,
said Mario Cesar Gonzalez, whose son,
Cesar Manuel Gonzalez, is among the missing students. I wish they would put the

Ukrainian president sends

more troops to the east
By Peter Leonard
and Nataliya Vasilyeva
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KIEV, Ukraine Ukraines president

said Tuesday that additional troops are
being deployed to the east, where fighting
continues to rage between government
forces and pro-Russian separatist fighters.
Petro Poroshenko said the units would
defend cities still under government control against possible incursions.
His remarks came after Ukrainian security officials claimed over the weekend that
Russia has intensified the transfer of
troops and military equipment to separatist
rebels. Moscow denies it aids the rebels.
Several new units have been formed that
will enable us to repel possible attacks in
the direction of Mariupol and Berdyansk,
Kharkiv, and areas north of Luhansk and
the Dnipropetrovsk region, Poroshenko
said, according to a statement on the presidential website.
Tensions have spiked since the weekend,

when rebels held an election that was condemned by the West and Ukraine as illegal
and destabilizing.
In recent days, Russia-supported separatists have publicly stated their intention
to expand the territory under their control.
We strongly condemn ongoing separatist
attacks in Meriupol and Dubalsiva and
around the Donetsk Airport, U.S. State
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told
reporters in Washington.
Any attempt to push further into
Ukraine would be another violation of
Ukraines sovereignty and territorial
integrity and a gross violation of the
Minsk agreements signed by Russia,
Ukraine, and the separatists, she added,
referring to the much-violated case-fire
agreed upon in September.
Ukraine and Western governments say
Sundays poll gravely endangered the
cease-fire that envisioned local elections
across the whole of the east but under
Ukrainian law. Russia, however, quickly
lent its support to the vote.

attack in eastern Saudi Arabia
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Saudi authorities
arrested 15 people on Tuesday in connection
with a shooting in the east of the kingdom
the previous night that left five people dead
and was apparently aimed at the countrys
Shiite minority.
The attack happened late Monday evening
in the village of al-Dalwah, which is located
in the countrys eastern al-Ahsa region, a
major oil-producing area that is also one of
the main centers of the minority Shiite community in this Sunni-ruled OPEC giant.
The attackers shot the victims with pistols
and machine guns, according to the official

Berumen, who apparently accompanied the

couple or aided them in their flight from justice. Berumen was also detained in the
Tuesday raids.
The house they were found in looked as it
were abandoned, Murillo Karam said. The
reason we started to suspect this person
(Berumen) was that she appeared to be entering an abandoned house.
Before they fled last month, the couple
ran Iguala like a fiefdom in cooperation
with the local drug cartel, Guerreros Unidos.
Abarca received up to $220,000 every few
weeks as bribe money and to pay off his
corrupt police force, according to Attorney
General Jose Murillo Karam, who gave a
detailed account last month of the couples
alleged collusion with organized crime.
The mayors wife was a major operator in
the cartel, an offshoot of the Beltran Leyva
gang, Murillo Karam said. Two of her brothers were on former President Felipe
Calderons most-wanted drug trafficker list
until they were killed in 2009. A third
brother, Salomon Pineda, was believed to
run the territory in northern Guerrero state
for the cartel.
Guerreros Unidos has increasingly turned
to the lucrative practice of growing opium
poppies and sending opium paste to be
refined for heroin destined for the U.S. market, according to a federal official.
The students attended a radical rural teachers college with a history of carrying out
protests. They had gained the enmity of
Abarca because of a previous demonstration
in the town, Murillo Karam said. Abarca
believed they planned to disrupt a speech by
his wife, who aspired to succeed him as
mayor, and ordered police to detain the students after they hijacked four buses to provide transportation to a coming protest.
Three students were shot dead in the confrontation and later three bystanders were
killed in a separate attack.

Report: IS group
abused captive
Kurdish children
By Ryan Lucas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Islamic State militants tortured and abused Kurdish

children captured earlier this year
near the northern Syrian town of
Kobani, beating them with hoses
and electric cables, an international rights group said Tuesday.
Human Rights Watch based its
conclusions on interviews with
several children who were among
more than 150 Kurdish boys from
Kobani abducted in late May as
they were returning home after taking school exams in the city of
Aleppo. It said around 50 of the
Kurds escaped early in their captivity, while the rest were released in
batches the last coming on Oct.
29.
Since the beginning of the
Syrian uprising, children have suffered the horrors of detention and
torture, first by the Assad government and now by ISIS, said
Human Rights Watchs Fred
Abrahams. This evidence of torture and abuse of children by ISIS

underlines why no one should support their criminal enterprise.

Four of the children who were
released told the New York-based
rights group that they were held by
the extremists in the northern
Syrian town of Manbij. They
described frequent abuse at the
hands of the militants, who used a
hose and electric cable to administer beatings.
The boys, ages 14 to 16, said
that some of the worst abuse was
reserved for captives who had family members in the Kurdish militia
known as the YPG, which has been
locked in heavy fighting with
Islamic State militants for control
of Kobani since mid-September.
The children said the Islamic
State group did not say why they
were being released, other than
that they had completed their religious training, the Human Rights
Watch report said.
Islamic State militants have
taken hundreds of Kurds captive

of northern and eastern Syria.
On Tuesday, the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said the extremists had
released dozens of Kurds taken captive in February. It was not immediately clear why the Islamic State
group would release the captives
now, nor whether a deal had been
made with the Kurds for a prisoner
exchange.

The fight over Kobani, meanwhile, has raged on, with the
Islamic State group pressing its
assault despite fierce resistance
from the towns Kurdish defenders
and heavy U.S.-led airstrikes
against the extremists. On
Tuesday, clashes focused on the
eastern and western sides of the
town, the Observatory and an Iraqi
Kurdish fighter said.

A militant video posted online

Tuesday showed the aftermath of
apparent U.S.-led airstrikes, which
saw a large plume of black smoke
rise over a neighborhood in the
town.
Iraqi Kurdish forces known as
peshmerga have deployed to

Syrian brethren defending the
town.

Five cookbooks I
didnt want to like
but do anyway
O

Slightly older eggs are better for hard cooking because the air pocket between the egg and
the shell gets larger as the egg gets older. This makes them easier to peel.

Stuffed egg with a

spicy avocado kick
By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When I was growing up, I loved my moms

stuffed eggs. Heck, as a chubby and happygo-lucky kid, I loved anything filled with
mayonnaise.
As I grew older, I figured out that these
seductive little bite-sized appetizers (also
called deviled eggs, at least when spiked
with something hot) were packed with calories. Happily, I now know that you dont
need a ton of mayonnaise to make a tasty
filling. This recipe satisfies the heedless little kid in me and the more prudent grown-up.
But first, we need to address the proper
way to boil an egg. The goal is to produce a
tender white with no nasty green line
between it and the yolk. It was Julia Child
who taught me how to achieve this lovely
result. The key is not to hard boil the egg,
but to hard cook it.
You put the eggs in cold water, bring the
water to a boil, remove the pan from the
heat, then cover it. About 15 minutes later,
you drain the pot and run cold water over the
eggs. I tend to let them stand for 10 minutes, not 15. Its the cold water that prevents
the green line from forming.
What kind of egg is the best candidate for
hard cooking? Oddly enough, you dont
want it to be super fresh. Slightly older eggs
are better for hard cooking because the air
pocket between the egg and the shell gets
larger as the egg gets older. This makes
them easier to peel.
How do you figure out the age of an egg
(other than by reading the date on the carton)? Place your egg in a bowl of water. If it

lies on its side on the bottom of the bowl, it

is very fresh. If it stands up, it is somewhat
aged and perfect for hard cooking. If it floats
to the surface, you might want to toss it.
Now for the filling. Aside from a lone
tablespoon of low-fat mayo, most of my
fillings creamy texture is thanks to the
avocado. Though this wonderful fruit, a
native of Mexico, was maligned for years by
the food police because of its high fat content, avocados actually are as nutritious as
they are delicious. Here Ive teamed up the
avocado with all of its guacamole pals
lime juice, onion and jalapeno peppers
and topped it with salsa.
Weirdly enough, you may have to search a
little to find jalapenos with heat, as theyve
developed a strain of them in Texas that are
mostly tame. Me, I dont get it. Itd be like
manufacturing alcohol-free rum. Anyway,
you may decide that even your fiery
jalapenos arent fiery enough. In that case,
just add some of the peppers seeds and ribs.
Thatll definitely raise the temperature.
I call for salsa here because tomatoes
especially local tomatoes are now at the
height of their season, so going to the trouble of using those tomatoes to whip up
some homemade salsa pays big dividends. I
prefer cherry tomatoes, but any ripe tomato
will do. I salt them first, then let them stand
a bit to concentrate their flavor. If youre in
a rush, or if you want to cook up this dish
when its not tomato season, by all means
use your favorite store-bought salsa. Their
deliciousness aside, these eggs, with their
green-and-red color scheme, would be as festive at Christmas as they are in mid-summer.

See EGGS, Page 24

ver the years, Ive developed a

simple system for processing the
hundreds of cookbooks that cross
my desk every year. Its the six-pile
process.
Pile No. 1 is where the books get stacked
as soon as they are delivered. There they
await consideration. Pile No. 2 by far
the largest is the aint-gonna-happen
pile. This is where the 5,000 Soup
Recipes and Glorious Gluten-Free SugarFree Sprouted Vegan Raw Cooking books
(and so many, many less extreme others)
land. From there, they are dispatched to a
table at my sons school where anyone can
help themselves.
Pile No. 3 is the gonna-do-something
stack. These are the books that merit attention in some way. Gabrielle Hamiltons
book inspired by her New York City restaurant, Prune, is a fine example. Ditto for
Yotam Ottolenghis new ode to vegetables,
Plenty More. These books get stories
assigned.
Pile No. 4 is a step up from that. These
are the books that are in the running for my
end-of-year list of the best cookbooks of
the year. At the moment, there are 17
books in this pile. Once the herd is culled,
probably only about 10 or 12 will make
the cut. Id give you some examples, but
then Id have to kill you.
Pile No. 5 is the interesting-but-probably-not-newsworthy-but-Ill-try-cookingfrom-it-anyway stack. These are books that
intrigue me, but unless they blow my mind
when I get around to cooking from them
probably wont amount to much. Books
from this pile sometimes move into Pile
No. 3. Charles Phans The Slanted Door
is a recent example, which made the move
in part on the strength of the books cocktail recipes.
But today, I want to share the contents of
a little known, and frankly kind of embarrassing pile Pile No. 6: the books I didnt want to like, but kind of did. These are
books that either seemed too silly or too
narrow or were created by a source with
questionable credentials or just seemed to
have too little mainstream appeal. And yet,
the more I looked at them, the more I somehow liked them.
At the moment, Pile No. 6 has four residents. They are:

Wi l l i t Waffl e?
by Daniel Shumski
(Workman, 2014)
The title kind of says
it all. Its 53 recipes of
strange things you can
make in a waffle iron. I
wanted to hate this
book. Really. But I had
to admit, I wanted to
make the waffle iron
crab cakes. And waffled
tamale pie. And the
waffled sweet-and-sour
shrimp wontons. And the waffled onion
rings. And the stuffing waffles (called
stuffles). And the waffled chocolate-stuffed
French toast. And the... Well, you get the
point.
This book clearly is all about the
schtick, but amusingly so. I forgive it. And
Id also like to try the waffled sweet potato
gnocchi.
Co o ki ng wi th Go chujang by
Naomi Imatome-Yun (Countryman Press,
2014)
The only thing I hate more than books
with 5,000 soup recipes is books dedicated
to single ingredients. They just dont
reflect the way people cook. But I let this
one slip through because I love gochujang,
an ingredient on the cusp of being discovered by the rest of America. And thats a
good thing.
Gochujang is a Korean chili paste that
tastes like a blend of savory Japanese miso
and spicy Sriracha sauce. In other words,
its crazy delicious. And once people learn
how to use it, theyll love it. Part of this
books redeeming quality is that it doesnt
limit itself to Korean recipes. For example,
it uses gochujang on a smoked salmon
pizza, in a mayo for asparagus, and on
grilled corn on the cob.
Bo urbo n and Baco n by Morgan
Murphy (Oxmoor house, 2014)
Recall what I said about single-ingredient
books? Two-ingredient books arent much
better. Unless those two ingredients happen to be bourbon and bacon. They do,
after all, make everything better.
There are no mysteries about this book.
The first half is dedicated to a primer on
bourbon, followed by numerous recipes,

Lentils lend a fresh

take on tabbouleh
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

My mother loves tabbouleh.

And given how healthy it is, its
not such a bad food to love.
Except that she made it a lot. As
in, after I moved out, I avoided it
at all costs. Id grown up with a
tabbouleh overload.
When I did eventually come
back around to tabbouleh, I found
that if I tweaked the recipe a bit, I
liked it a lot more. The classic
combination of lemon, parsley
and garlic on cracked wheat is
good, but it can be so much more.
It can be different and inspired.
I like to start by swapping out
the traditional cracked bulgur
wheat base for a different whole
grain, such as farro, spelt, kamut,
barley or even brown rice. For
this recipe, I used green lentils,
which are packed with nutrients,
low in fat, and high in fiber and
protein. Plus, they have a subtle
flavor, perfect for a salad with
plenty of other robust flavors.
Next
up,
the
herbs.
Traditionally, tabbouleh is made
with lots of parsley and some
mint. Its pretty easy to switch
those up for just about any fresh,
green, leafy herb. Try cilantro or
even basil. We kept the parsley,

but added a bit of oregano and

thyme. To round it all out, we
added red wine vinegar and lemon
juice, minced fresh garlic,
chopped celery, toasted almonds,
chopped olives, and red bell pepper.
To finish it off, youll want to
add a drizzle of really good extravirgin olive oil. Because its a
simple salad, the quality of the
olive oil is important.

Old-fashioned whiskey pub crawl

By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Not until the third stop of

the evening did we realize the impossibility
of our mission. But Im so happy we didnt
surrender.
Our goal on a recent midweek evening was
simple: Visit as many of Manhattans
whiskey bars as possible to determine the
very best. Because this island thanks in
part to our nations booming interest in the
lovely brown liquor seems practically
brimming with bars vying for the title of top
pour.
With research and word of mouth, I narrowed the list of candidates to four DaddyO in the West Village, Brandy Library in
Tribeca and Maysville and The Flatiron
Room, both in the Flatiron District.
After grabbing three friends and mapping
out the best route for hitting all four, our
adventure began at Daddy-O, a deliciously
dark joint with a chill vibe and a smattering
of tables and stools. It screams neighborhood haunt in the most wonderful way.
Manager Pamela Montalvo dropped a
stuffed three-ring binder on our table a
listing of all 200-plus bourbons on offer. At
her suggestion, we skipped the front of the
book and flipped to the back, the black
pages. Which are just that black pages
with white text labeled By appointment
only bourbons and ryes. These are the
whiskeys you came for.
Daddy-O has been slinging whiskey since
1999, and it seemed only right we start the
evening with the house bottle, Daddy-O
Bourbon, an 8-year-old single barrel that
owner Phillip Casaceli selected actually,
bought the entire barrel from Wild Turkey.
It was smooth and easy to drink. We paired it
with the bars signature snack deep-fried
Tater Tots. Yeah... We went there. It was a
why-havent-I-done-this-before moment.
From there we moved on to two bottles of
Angels Envy, a bourbon and a rye. We resisted the urge to sample the A.H. Hirsch (no
relation, sadly), which pours for a mere $600
an ounce. But Montalvo did let us smell the
bottle of Angels Envy Cask Strength, which
clocks in at just $106 an ounce.
Clearly and sadly it was time to move
on. We headed to The Brandy Library, home
to several hundred whiskeys and a slam dunk

Daddy-O is a deliciously dark joint with a chill vibe and a smattering of tables and stools.
reputation. We disagreed. The space was
unwelcoming and staid, as though wed wandered uninvited into a club for angry old men.
It didnt help that several of the bourbons we
tried to order were unavailable.
We finally found two we were interested in
and were in stock but were admonished
by the waitress, who told us we needed to
order four. She held fast to this even after
wed ordered food (forgettable) and explained
our mission (and desire to remain coherent as
we drank for the next few hours). So we drank
our bourbons, then bolted.
Next up, Maysville, a sleek, hipster
whiskey bar and restaurant. Ample bright
lights and especially beautiful people
made the whole experience a little too
glossy for our liking, though the bourbon
selection and food (crispy fried grits with
country ham and bourbon aioli (!!) and
crispy oysters with chili mayo and pick-

led peppers) were wonderful.

It was now 11:30 p.m. and in the interest
of being able to work the next day, we suspended our search until the following night.
And thats when we struck gold.
The minute we entered The Flatiron Room
we were in love. The vibe is classic
speakeasy and the lighting is intimate. A
dark wooden bar stretches down the right
side, shelves of backlit whiskeys line the
left, and at the far end a stage is flanked by
opulent velvet curtains. The live music is
best described as jazz from another, better
era. Actually, you could describe the entire
bar that way.
With more than 1,000 whiskeys to pick
from, selecting our drinks was deliciously
difficult. But the knowledgeable bartenders
were happy to guide us and offer samples.
Even the crowd was welcoming and relaxed.
It would be easy for a period-inspired bar

such as Flatiron Room to feel kitschy, but

this one never does. Owner Tommy Tardie
told us hed wanted to create a place both
upscale and comfortable. He nailed it.
Wed found our winner. We loved Daddy-O
and certainly would be back. But we really
loved The Flatiron Room. And we did go
back. Every night for the next four nights.
Its that sort of place.

Red Lobster goes back into its shell

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK It turns out people go to

Red Lobster for the seafood.
The struggling chain on Monday
announced another revamped menu that
removes dishes including Spicy Tortilla
Soup and a Wood-Grilled Pork Chop, while
tacking on more dishes featuring lobster.
The non-seafood dishes had been added by
the chains previous owner, Darden
Restaurants Inc., in hopes of attracting people who dont like seafood as sales declined.
But the new management thinks that was
a mistake.
At the end of the day, we believe that
seafood is really why people come to Red
Lobster, said Salli Setta, Red Lobsters
president, in a phone interview.

Four of the five new dishes include lobster, and its increasing the amount of
shrimp in the popular Ultimate Feast
platter by 50 percent. The price of the
dish, which also includes lobster and

Red Lobsters revamped menu is 85 percent seafood, up from 75 percent.

crab, will go up by a dollar to $26. 99.
The reversal comes after Red Lobster was
sold off to investment firm Golden Gate

Capital by Darden this summer. Darden,

which is based in Orlando, Florida, and
owns Olive Garden, had failed to turn around

the chains declining sales and blamed a

variety of factors such as the growing availability of shrimp at other restaurants and
price-sensitive customers.
For its last fiscal year, Darden had said
Red Lobsters sales declined 6 percent at
established locations, following a 2.2 percent decline the previous year. Red Lobster,
which is still operating out of Dardens
offices until it moves into its new home, no
longer has to disclose its sales figures
because it is privately held.
Whether its new menu will win back customers remains to be seen, with people
increasingly heading to chains like
Chipotle where they feel they can get highquality food without paying as much.
Other changes had already been in the
works.
CEO Kim Lopdrup, who is back at Red
Lobster after serving as its president from
2004 to 2011, has said steep discounting
like 30 shrimp for $11.99 was a mistake.
The chain this summer also started changing the way it plates its dishes, with fish
piled over rice instead of having foods
spread out on a dish. Red Lobster says that
presentation is more visually appealing,
while also helping retain the foods heat.

The beef dish that leaves a tingle on your tongue

By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You can call it a peppercorn all you like,

but the peppery ingredient that puts the buzz
in Sichuan-style cooking actually isnt one.
Though it resembles and is used similar to
black peppercorns, Sichuan pepper isnt a
peppercorn at all. Rather, it is the dried rind
of the berry-like fruit of the prickly ash tree.
And you dont need to be a heat fiend to love

it. Because while it does have a peppery bite,

its real power is in the tingling, zingly feeling it leaves on your tongue, rather than a
true heat.
In Chinese cooking, the Sichuan pepper
often is used with meats and is a basic component of five-spice powder. In this weeknight-friendly beef recipe, we combine the
Sichuan pepper with spicy chili garlic paste
for a dish that will jumpstart your mouth.
Serve it over rice or noodles.

GOP stays in control of House, expands majority

By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans claimed a

commanding majority in the House on
Tuesday, pushing their dominance to nearhistoric levels as they dispatched the last
white Democrats in the South and made
inroads in Democratic strongholds nationwide.
The GOP easily won the 218 seats required
and was on track to match or surpass the
246 seats they held in President Harry S.
Trumans administration more than 60 years
ago. President Barack Obama will face an
all-GOP Congress in his final two years as
Republicans regained control of the Senate.

for Democrats that stemmed from widespread voter discontent with President
Barack Obama.
Since Ive done it three times, I am
not under any illusions that this is
some kind of picnic, Brown told
reporters in Sacramento about his next
term, citing the record drought and
need to keep the state checkbook balanced.
The major parties and their supporters focused most of their money on
tight congressional races as well as a
handful of state legislative races that
would determine whether Democrats
would win supermajorities in the
Assembly and Senate.
Elsewhere voters were deciding
local measures about fracking and
marijuana growing. Oakland Mayor
Jean Quan, embattled over her handling of the Occupy protests and
police department, was fighting to
save her job.
Brown argued during his campaign
that he led a comeback by the state

We are humbled by the responsibility

the American people have placed with us,
but this is not a time for celebration,
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said
in a statement. Its time for government to
start getting results and implementing solutions to the challenges facing our country,
starting with our still-struggling economy.
Democrats had a few bright spots, but
their hopes of keeping losses to a minimum
disappeared under the GOP onslaught.
Republicans tightened their grip on the
South, a steady march since Lyndon B.
Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act
and famously said Democrats would lose the
region. Republican Evan Jenkins, a

Democrat-turned-Republican state senator,

knocked out 19-term Rep. Nick Rahall of
West Virginia.
Republican businessman Rick Allen prevailed over another Southern Democrat,
five-term Rep. John Barrow of Georgia.
Republicans capitalized on growing dissatisfaction with Obama as voters took out
their frustration on the party controlling
the White House. The pervasive malaise
nationwide also dragged down Democrats.
Overall, the GOP gained 12 seats and
counting; Democrats just one.
Aggressive in the midterms, Republicans
claimed three Democratic seats in New
York, upending six-term Rep. Tim Bishop
on Long Island and Dan Maffei in the

more than a million jobs.

Where once they called us a failed
state, we are now showing the way, he
said Tuesday.
The 76-year-old Brown is already the
states longest-serving governor. He
logged two terms in the office from
1975 to 1983.
Brown won re-election after a muted
and sometimes invisible gubernatorial
campaign in which he never appeared
to be threatened by Kashkari, a
Republican making his first run for
elected office.
A former U. S. treasury official,
Kashkari helped lead the federal bank
bailout during the recession. He told
supporters in Orange County that hed
succeeded in blazing a trail for ... the
future of the Republican Party, which
has seen voter registration dwindle to
28 percent in California.
Brown, a career politician first elected to the governors seat four decades
ago, also ran for president three times
and has served as state attorney general, secretary of state and mayor of
Oakland.
The nations most populous state
with more than 38 million people has
long-term problems that include a
looming government pension crisis
and troubled public school and water-

supply systems.
Brown, however, kept his campaign
anchored to an optimistic narrative
that featured the states now-balanced
budget and job growth since the recession. The Democratic-controlled
Legislature approved Browns plans to
send more money to high-need
schools and restructure sentencing
laws to allow lower-level offenders to
go to county jails instead of state lockups.
Browns depiction of California as a
sunny success story doesnt square
with polling by the Public Policy
Institute of California that shows 54
percent of likely voters believe the
state is generally moving in the wrong
direction, although those numbers
have improved during Browns tenure.
Kashkari, 41, argued the governor
was ignoring the plight of troubled
schools and protecting the interests of
powerful teacher unions that spent
millions to elect him.
Yet Kashkari was unable to raise
enough money to boost his name
recognition or get his message across
to a wide audience.
Turnout on Tuesday was projected to
be just 46 percent, which would be the
lowest on record for a California general election.

soda tax.
Bloomberg saw a court battle waged
by the soda industry defeat his own
effort to impose a limit on soft-drink
sizes in New York City.
The California Legislature has made
at least six attempts to impose some
kind of tax on sweetened beverages,
all of which failed.
Supporters of such taxes say soda is
a main culprit in rising obesity rates

and related diseases including diabetes.

They hope the tax will reduce consumption.
The American Beverage Association
has portrayed the soda tax as driving
up the cost of groceries for lowincome families. Studies show that
people with less education drink twice
as many soft drinks as consumers with
a college education.

Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the

Republicans also prevailed on other
Democratic turf, easing out freshmen Bill

Obamas home state.
In one bright spot for the Democrats,
Gwen Graham, daughter of a former senator

Democrat Newsom re-elected lieutenant governor
LOS ANGELES Democrat Gavin Newsom defeated a
lesser-known Republican Tuesday to coast to a second term
as Californias lieutenant governor, a low-profile post that
has little actual power.
With more than 3.3 million votes counted, Newsom garnered 55 percent of the vote over former state Republican
Party chairman Ron Nehring.
Thank you California for confirming your trust in me
once again, Newsom said in a Twitter post shortly after
Nehring conceded the race, also on Twitter.
Both men ran for lieutenant governor on the idea that the
low-visibility job with little power can still be a platform
for change and voters had to decide whose message they
preferred.
In first term, Newsom the former mayor of San
Francisco has used the position to draw attention to
domestic violence in the NFL, gay marriage and the
California budget.

California reduces penalty for lower-level crimes

LOS ANGELES California voters on Tuesday approved
a ballot initiative that will reduce penalties for low-level
drug and property crimes to save hundreds of millions of
dollars in prison costs.
Under Proposition 47, shoplifting, forgery, fraud, petty
theft, and possession of small amounts of drugs including
cocaine and heroin are among the offenses that will be treated as misdemeanors rather than felonies.
With nearly 3 million ballots counted, the measure had 58
percent support.

Attempt to raise medical malpractice cap defeated

LOS ANGELES Voters on Tuesday soundly defeated a
proposal to lift a decades-old cap on courtroom damages for
medical negligence, after a multimillion-dollar political
duel pitting trial lawyers against doctors and insurers.
The defeat of Proposition 46 came after a cascade of negative advertising financed by insurance and physician
groups. They warned the change would send medical costs
soaring and drive doctors from the state.

The half-dozen new GOP senators who
will replace Democrats in the South,
Midwest and Rockies have one common
bond: They ran campaigns focused almost
entirely on attacking the president and a
governing style they called both overbearing and aloof.
They offered few specifics of how they
might tackle the nations biggest problems, such as deficit spending and immigration. It did not matter.
With Senate Democrats now able to turn
the filibuster against the Republicans who
often used it themselves, its unclear
whether a GOP-dominated Congress can
relieve government gridlock any more than
the divided Congress did. Thirty-year Senate
veteran Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, in
line to be the next majority leader, alternated between defiance and conciliation after
defeating Alison Lundergan Grimes and
claiming a sixth term.
For too long, this administration has

Nine people sought three seats on the

concerns and was the subject of a San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury investigation.
Voters elected Mattusch to replace formerly appointed incumbent Will Holsinger and
David will oust Commissioner Robert
Bernardo who lost re-election to a second
term.
I absolutely believe that thats a total
repudiation about how the Harbor District
has operated for quite some time and people
are looking for change and thats why they
brought fresh faces in, Mattusch said.
Mattusch won the two year-seat with
37, 900, votes, or 47. 7 percent, while

Penrose, a political newcomer and retired
physician, took first place with 1, 507

took 1,309 votes, or 19.36 percent, and
Kowalczyk retained his spot with 954
votes, or 14.11 percent.
Deborah Penrose and I share a concern
about how were treating each other, how
the city councilmembers treat each other
and the public. Wed like to introduce a new
sense of decorum and respect for the public
and a sense of customer service. I think the
public felt the City Council was on opposite sides of them, Ruddock said.

tried to tell the American people whats

good for them and then blame somebody
else when their policies didnt work out,
McConnell told cheering fans.
He also said that a two-party system
doesnt mean we have to be in perpetual
conflict.
Republicans had reason to gloat. They
ousted Democratic senators in Arkansas,
Colorado and North Carolina, and took
seats from retiring Democrats in four other
states. Equally important, Republicans held
off spirited challengers in Kentucky,
Georgia and Kansas.
Hours after most polls closed, Virginias
and Alaskas results were unclear. Louisiana
was headed for a Dec. 6 runoff between threeterm Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and
Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy. But the
GOPs majority was assured, regardless of
those outcomes.
Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, returning to
the minority after eight years as majority
leader, congratulated McConnell and said
voters want us to work together.
But some Republicans quickly turned their
election night comments against likely
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Rodham Clinton, suggesting that the politics of 2016 will complicate the new

Congress work.
Republicans claimed a huge victory in
Colorado, where GOP Rep. Cory Gardner
ousted first-term Democrat Mark Udall. The
win was notable because Obama had carried
Colorado twice, unlike most other states
where Republicans made their biggest
gains.
Udall portrayed Gardner as a threat to
womens reproductive rights. But Gardner
responded with the tactic used by every
Republican in a competitive race: relentlessly link his opponent to the president.
In North Carolina, state House speaker
Thom Tillis ousted first-term Democratic
Sen. Kay Hagan, a surprise to many pollsters.
In Arkansas, freshman Rep. Tom Cotton
knocked off two-term Democratic Sen. Mark
Pryor in a state that has veered sharply
toward the GOP since native son Bill
Clinton left office. Pryor, the last Democrat
in Arkansas congressional delegation, is
the son of a popular former governor and
senator. But Arkansas has trended sharply
Republican, and Obama lost it by 24 percentage points in 2012.
As expected, GOP Rep. Shelley Moore
Capito of West Virginia won the seat of
retiring Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller.

Former Gov. Mike Rounds of South Dakota

won retiring Democratic Sen. Tim
Johnsons seat. And GOP Rep. Steve Daines
will succeed departing Sen. John Walsh in
Montana.
In Iowa, where longtime Democratic Sen.
Tom Harkin is retiring, Republican state
Sen. Joni Ernst defeated Democratic U.S.
Rep. Bruce Braley. Ernst ran a TV ad in
which she talked about castrating hogs as a
farm girl. She promised to cut pork in
Washington.
A rare bright spot for Democrats was Sen.
Jeanne Shaheens victory in New
Hampshire over Scott Brown, a former senator from Massachusetts.
In Georgia, where GOP Sen. Saxby
Chambliss is retiring, Republican corporate executive David Perdue held off
Democrat Michelle Nunn.
Kansas three-term Republican Sen. Pat
Roberts avoided an embarrassing loss to
independent candidate Greg Orman. No
Democrat was on the ballot.
In Virginia, Republican Ed Gillespie
mounted an unexpectedly strong challenge
to first-term Democratic Sen. Mark Warner.
First-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich
of Alaska faced Republican Dan Sullivan in
a state Obama lost badly.

Holsinger, who filled the term for the late

Leo Padreddii, lost with 32,570 votes, or
40. 99 percent, and Pescadero resident
Robert Grant came in third with 8,992
votes, or 11.32 percent, according to final
semi-official results from the San Mateo
County Elections Office.

Bernardo, while saddened he wont have

the opportunity to continue to work for the
district, said he remains optimistic the
elected board will work with the best interests of the public in mind.
Its the will of the people. The voters
have spoken and for me, personally, I really
would just like to thank the voters in San
Mateo County for giving me the honor and
privilege of serving during the past four
years, Bernardo said. I would hope that
there are going to be people, if not me, that
will watch out for Oyster Point Marina,
because if you look at the makeup of the
board now, you dont have anyone from
South San Francisco anymore.
Tucker was not available for comment and
Holsinger said hell direct his spare time
toward other community service opportunities and wishes his opponents well.
Im grateful for the opportunity that I
had and certainly it will be interesting to
see what happens with the district in the
future, Holsinger said. I thought there was
a lot of good things to be done in the district in the coming years and I would have
liked to be a part of it.

The new Board of Commissioners will be

tasked with responding to county inquiries
into dissolution after a San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury report slammed the commissioners for a lack of civility amongst
themselves and recommended the districts
responsibilities be absorbed by the county
and other agencies.
I would definitely like to get the Harbor
District back on track financially because I
think that should be the most important priority, and then focus on water quality
issues, David said.
The board will also oversee the development of the districts strategic business
plan and find a replacement for General
Manager Peter Grenell who will retire at the
end of the December after 17 years of service.
[Im] looking forward to a whole lot.
Theres a lot we want to accomplish. We
want to take a harbor thats been stagnant
for a couple decades and see some real
changes, Mattusch said. Something thats
beneficial to the fishermen, the leaseholders and the public.

Well just work together and do the best

we can for the community. Its all about
collaboration and making sure the communitys interests come first, Kowalczyk
said. I think the community is going to
miss the leadership of Allan Alifano, he is
an excellent councilmember and he served
our community well.
David Eblovi, who helped fuel the Main
Street Bridge Preservation Act, or Measure
F, in the June election, came in fifth with
825 votes, or 12.20 percent, and retired
school teacher Don Prestosz came in last
with 798 votes, or 11.8 percent.
Harvey Rarback, director on the
Coastside Fire Protection District board,
pulled out of the race last month to support
Ruddock, Eblovi and Penrose and will continue his duties on the board.
The Main Street Bridge served as a source
of contention in the heated election as the
council voted to replace the 103-year-old
bridge last year but outraged June voters

prevented them by passing Measure F.

Eblovi, Penrose and Ruddock all cited the
bridge as evidence of a need for a new council dynamic.
Were looking forward to changing
things radically. That well become a council that is now responsive to citizens,
Penrose said.

The City Council effectively asked us to

trust them with the Main Street Bridge and
they essentially were saying in this election, both as incumbents and with Measure
O, oh trust us and I think the community
made it very clear we dont, bottom line,
Eblovi said.
Kowalczyk promoted Measure O as the
best way for the city to secure nearly $11
million in financing for its portion of a
new $22 million library and fund muchneeded improvements to parks and streets.
The City Council will have to decide
what projects will not get done, but
absolutely, were going to have to cross
projects off the list. The community said
they dont want Measure O and as a result
some of the projects arent going to get
done. The biggest one is that some roads
are not going to get repaved, Kowalczyk
said. Were going to have to reanalyze
[the library,] but thats my highest priority.

Candidate Monica Peregrina Boyd dropped

out of the race in September.
The top vote-getter, Ochsenhirt, has
served as chair of the Measure J bond oversight committee and was a past member of
Measure C oversight committee. He currently serves as a South San Francisco
planning commissioner.
I look forward to serving on the board,
Ochsenhirt said. Im looking forward to
working with the other board members. I
think its a statement by the voters of
South San Francisco and the faith they have
in me.
Lucy is a correctional officer for the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office and started
the Alternative to Expulsion program in
the district. He said hed like to see a better
relationship between the board and community.

My goals are the same things; we definitely need to keep that transparency
going, he said. We have two brand-new
board members that will be interesting.
Lucy was a little surprised with the results
and said he is shocked Baker didnt do as
well as he should have.
Its a big loss to the school district; I
hope he runs in 2016, he said. Its gonna
be sad to see Phil leave hes done good
things for the district but we need some
new blood.
Weise, who has served on the board for
more than 16 years, could not be reached
for comment Tuesday night.
The other winner, Acosta, has worked for
the city of South San Francisco for 13 years
and has more than 10 years of school
involvement as a room parent volunteer,
along with work as a former PTA board

Two four-year terms were won by David,

who came in first with 45,749 votes, or
31.01 percent, and Tucker, whos served on
the board for 16 years, with 34,720 votes,
or 23.54 percent. Bernardo narrowly came
in third with 34,232 votes, or 23.21 percent, followed by Kimberly Collins with
17, 534 votes, or 11. 89 percent, Brian
Rogers with 8,855 votes, or 6 percent, and
Shawn Mooney with 6,417 votes, or 4.35
percent.
Half of the countywide districts approximately $10 million budget comes from
property taxes that go to overseeing Pillar
Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay, Oyster
Point Marina/Park in South San Francisco,
the coasts search and rescue team, an RV
park, coastal trail and a slew of other
responsibilities.

Sales tax down to 9 percent

With the failure of Measure O, Half Moon
Bays sales tax will be reduced by a halfpercent. Voters felt the citys stronger
financial footing didnt warrant the continuation of Measure J, which was approved
while the city was faced with paying $30
million to settle a lawsuit over the
Beachwood property. Ultimately, the city
received help from insurance policies, outsourced its police department to the
Sheriffs Office and contracted with the
California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection in place of its own department.

member.
During the race, candidates expressed
concerns about professional development
for the new Common Core education standards that focus more on using technology
in the classroom. Concern over high
teacher turnover was also expressed.
Three of the candidates in this race
applied for the slot that Lucy took over
back in January. The board was also going
to fill Hochs spot during the application
process in January, but it found out that it
would have had to initiate the appointment
process within 60 days of Hochs filing her
deferred resignation, which occurred Nov.
18, 2013. Since that 60-day period had
already passed, the board had to fill the
vacancy during the November general election.

measure to help contend with overflowing classrooms, passed as well.

Measure I required 55 percent voter
approval and received 63.25 percent
of the vote, while 36. 75 percent
voted against it. It received 4,647 yes
votes and 2,700 no votes, according
to final semi-official results from the
San Mateo County Elections Office.
Right now, the most substantial
part of the proposed bond is adding
two-story modulars to some campuses
at a cost of $1 million each, according to the district.
In 2010, two bond measures were
also approved by district voters,
totaling $60 million for repairs, technology upgrades and bringing buildings up to code. Last fall, Measure R,
a consolidation of two parcel taxes,
received 70 percent voter approval.
The cost is $174 per parcel a year.
Measure G, a $96 a year parcel tax for
10 years, passed in 2004. It generates
about $1. 2 million annually. In
2008, voters passed Measure U, a
seven-year $78 annual tax that brings
in about $950,000 per year.

roads; upgrade computer, biotechnology and job training facilities;

upgrade access for disabled students;
ensure classrooms meet earthquake,
fire and safety requirements; and
replace aging infrastructure with energy efficient systems. For example,
the money could be used to construct a
new science building at Caada and an
environmental science building at
Skyline, Christensen said.
The bond measure works out to be
an annual property tax increase of
$8. 22 per $100, 000 of assessed
value.
A measure for $207 million in 2001
passed, along with a $468 million
measure in 2005. The district opted to
not renew a 2010 parcel tax in
February because classes now have
adequate funding to keep them going,
while the districts $564 million
modernization bond measure was on
the November 2011 ballot, but fell
short of the 55 percent approval needed.
Meanwhile, Burlingame voters

renewed two parcel taxes that total

$256 a year that district officials say
are needed to keep up with programming such as music, art, reading, writing, science and engineering, while
opponents said the taxes unfairly
charge people without stakes or residence in the district. Measure L
which required a two-thirds majority
for approval garnered 76.55 percent approval, while 23.45 percent
voted against the measure. That
breaks down to 4,362 yes votes and
1,336 no votes, according to final
semi-official results from the San
Mateo County Elections Office.
It just proves the Burlingame community really values its excellent
schools, said Measure co-chair Linda
Wolin. Its critical; the existing parcel taxes represent 8 percent of the
school districts budget. They help
maintain stability for the districts
budget.
Another measure, the BelmontRedwood Shores Elementary School
Districts $48 million facilities bond

Eshoo, 71, triumphed over Los

Eshoo, who joined Congress in

McDowell said he was disappointed
not to win but congratulated the three
victors for their strong campaigns.
What it says is that voters are
happy with the status quo. They had a
choice and they made it, he said.
McDowell said he doesnt know if
another shot at elected office is in his
future. He ran for the board because he
felt the district had actual substantive
issues, he said.
Both health care districts were originally established to create and operate
hospitals in their respective jurisdictions but now use the tax dollars collected for other philanthropic ventures. The Peninsula Health Care

District is in a 50-year lease with the

Mills-Peninsula Medical Center and
