More civil disobedience arrests

DA still weighing prosecution of home health workers
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Thirteen people demanding a wage hike

for in-home health workers were arrested in
an act of civil disobedience at a Board of
Supervisors meeting as the District
Attorneys Office weighs whether to prosecute them and five others similarly apprehended last month.
Wearing Santa hats, antlers and singing
refashioned versions of holiday jingles, the
workers and staff representing union and
labor groups crowded into the chambers.
After a few spoke during public comment,
Shelley Kessler, executive secretary-treasurer of the San Mateo County Central Labor
Council announced her intention to be
arrested and shortly after the workers moved
to the front of the room where they ignored
requests to stop being disruptive.
The group arrested Tuesday along with
Kessler included Josie Camacho, executive

secretary-treasurer of the Alameda County

Labor Council; Dave Werlin, from Northern
California at SEIU United Long Term Care
workers; SEIU Local 521s President Gwyn
Harshaw, Region Two Vice President Matt
Nathanson, Secretary Karen Nakatani and
staff members Brian ONeill, Jonathan
Bernhardt, Merina Au Yeung, Isabel
Olazcoaga, Miesha Brown, Mark Weirick
and Khanh Weinberg.
The group was released after their arrest
and booking.
As in November when five were arrested,
the providers of In-Home Support Services
are seeking their first salary increase since
2007. The county has offered a 10 percent
increase plus existing benefits which the
unions say is too little to survive in pricey
San Mateo County and are instead asking
for 30 percent over the next four years.
Workers currently earn $11.50 per hour and
a 10 percent raise would make them among
the highest paid in California, according to

the County Managers Office.

Negotiations resume Dec. 17.
The countys 5,000 home health care
workers care for the elderly and disabled at
home rather than diverting them to other
methods of help. More than 70 percent of
the cases involve workers providing care to
relatives living with them in their homes,
according to the County Managers Office.
In February, the state will take over labor
negotiations for IHSS providers.
The first five individuals arrested are due
back in court next week and District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said a charging
decision is pending because five separate
case reports must still be received.
My deputies will be reviewing them and
summarize them for me. Then I can sit down
with my management team, he said.

California prosecutors sue Uber; Lyft settles

By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California prosecutors sued Uber on Tuesday over the ridebooking companys background checks of
drivers and other allegations, adding to the
popular startups worldwide legal woes.
San Francisco County District Attorney
George Gascon also announced that Uber
competitor Lyft agreed to pay $500,000 and
change some of its business practices to settle its own lawsuit. Lyft will have to pay
only half the fine if it complies with the
agreements terms over the next year.
The lawsuits filed in San Francisco

Superior Court are the latest legal hurdles to

confront the nascent ride-hailing industry.
The industry in general and Uber in particular have been battling lawsuits and
regulatory issues over whether the businesses are regulated taxi services or app-making
technology companies.
Uber continues to misrepresent and exaggerate background checks on drivers, Los
Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey said.
Its not our goal to shut them down. What
were saying is their advertising is false.
Lyft, on the other hand, agreed to drop
similar claims that its background checks
are the best available and the gold standard.

Teen files $1M claim with county over social worker sex
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The former social worker accused of having sex with two teenage clients this summer used his position as a county employee
and authority figure to betray ones trust,
according to a $1 million claim filed on her
behalf against San Mateo County.
The Board of Supervisors Tuesday denied a
claim by a 17-year-old girl identified only
as Jane Doe as part of its consent agenda.
The denial paves the way for her to sue if
she so chooses.
Her attorney Jonathan McDougall was

not immediately available to comment on the

next planned step.
Allegations by the
teen and another girl,
both 16 at the time, led
to the October arrest of
Manuel Sedillo, 38, of
Santa Clara. Prosecutors
charged Sedillo with 20

felonies including lewd

and encouraged her to engage in criminal
activity, McDougall wrote in the claim.
The more than $1 million sought is a
combination of punitive and economic
damages as well as damages for pain, mental
suffering, betrayal, emotional distress,
depression and humiliation.
Sedillo joined the county Human Services
Agency in 2006 and was placed on administrative leave in July after the first girl came
forward to report their alleged relationship
including a sexual encounter at a San Jose
hotel. An investigation deemed the allegations inconclusive but, while Sedillo was
out on leave, a second 16-year-old girl

claimed to have a sexual relationship with

him between June and the end of July.
He resigned from the Children and Family
Services Department just prior to his arrest
on charges linked to the second girl and the
first teens accusations were revisited, leading to additional charges.
Sedillo is out of custody on a $400,000
bond and due back in court Jan. 19 for a preliminary hearing. If convicted, he faces
decades in prison and registration as a sex
offender.

Presidents health adviser

apologizes for glib remarks
By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON MIT economist

Jonathan Gruber an often-quoted adviser
on the presidents health care law told
Congress on Tuesday he was glib and inexcusably arrogant when he said it was the
stupidity of the American voter that led to
the laws passage. Democrats tried to limit
the damage as Republicans raked Gruber at a
four-hour hearing, but acknowledged he gave
the GOP a political gift wrapped in a bow.
Gruber told groups in 2012 and 2013 that
voter stupidity and a lack of transparency
were important to passing the hard-fought
legislation. Appearing before the House
Oversight committee Tuesday, Gruber
expanded on earlier apologies, repeatedly
saying I was conjecturing in areas beyond
my expertise.
Enduring one fierce lecture after another,
Gruber said his earlier comments were uninformed, glib, thoughtless and sometimes
downright insulting. He said he was showing off before various groups, and trying to
be something, Im not, which was a political expert.
He said the laws passage was actually
transparent and heavily debated in public,
despite his earlier comments. And Gruber
said he was not the architect of the law, as

REUTERS

Jonathan Gruber testifies before a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on
Examining Obama Transparency Failures in Washington, D.C.
some press accounts had claimed.
But Republican Committee Chairman
Darrell Issa of California called Gruber a crucial player in the legislation. Issa grilled
Gruber repeatedly in what might be his last
committee probe of what he calls
Obamacare. Republican term limits will
force Issa whose bare-knuckled attacks on
administration programs sometimes annoy
GOP leaders to surrender the committee

chairmanship in the next Congress.

Issa and other Republicans sarcastically
praised Gruber for telling the truth in his
2012 and 2013 remarks, while also hammering his efforts Tuesday to walk them back.
Gruber remained calm, but sometimes
struggled to characterize the earlier remarks.
They were not lies, he said. Rather, they
were my conjecture outside my area of
expertise.

Lawmakers agree on $1.1 trillion spending bill

By David Espo and Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Time running short,

Republicans and Democrats agreed Tuesday
on a $1.1 trillion spending bill to avoid a
government shutdown and delay a politically-charged struggle over President Barack
Obamas new immigration policy until the
new year.
In an unexpected move, lawmakers also
agreed on legislation expected to be incorporated into the spending measure that will
permit a reduction in benefits for current
retirees at economically distressed multiemployer pension plans. Supporters said it

was part of an effort to prevent a slowmotion collapse of a system that provides

retirement income to millions, but critics
objected vehemently.
There was no immediate reaction from the
White House to the bill.
At 1, 603 pages, the spending bill
adheres to strict caps negotiated earlier
between the White House and deficit- conscious Republicans, and is also salted with
GOP policy proposals. As described by
unhappy liberals, one would roll back new
regulations that prohibit banks from using
federal deposit insurance to cover investments on some complex financial instruments.

Elsewhere, there were trade-offs.

Republicans won a $60 million cut at the
Environmental Protection Agency, and said
the agencys workforce would be reduced to
the lowest level since 1989. Democrats
emerged with increases for enforcement
activities at the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission.

IG: IRS paid $6 billion
in bogus child tax credits
WASHINGTON The IRS paid at least $6
billion in child tax credits in 2013 to people who werent eligible to receive them, a
government investigator said Tuesday.
Payments went to families that mistakenly claimed the tax credit or claimed the
wrong amount, as well as taxpayers who
committed fraud, according to an audit by J.
Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.
The audit highlights problems with a tax
credit that President Barack Obama has
championed as a way to help low-income
working families.
Obamas 2009 economic stimulus package temporarily expanded the credit to more
families that dont make enough money to
pay federal income tax. The expanded credit
expires at the end of 2017.
These families receive the $1,000-perchild credit in the form of a tax refund. The

relief bill to help California
WASHINGTON The House has passed a
bill designed to give state and federal agencies authority to move more water in coming months to Californias farm belt.
However, the Senate is not expected to
take up the legislation before Congress
adjourns, meaning lawmakers will likely
have to start over next year.
The state is suffering from its third year of
drought, and GOP lawmakers in the House
have complained that environmental protections designed to protect fish and
wildlife have exacerbated the water shortage
in the states San Joaquin Valley. The bill
would increase water exports to the region.
GOP lawmakers used their majority to
pass the bill by a 230-182 vote. Opponents
called the bill a water grab designed to help
farmers at the expense of others, particularly the states salmon industry.

Government says gas to
average $2.60 next year

LOCAL/NATION

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Energy Department again slashed its

prediction for next years average price of
gasoline across the U.S., this time to $2.60
a gallon. That would be 23 percent below
this years projected average and the lowest
full-year average since 2009.
If that comes to pass, the price drop will
save U.S. drivers $100 billion over the
course of the year based on current consumption levels. That will boost the overall
economy by reducing shipping and transportation costs, and leaving consumers
more money to spend on other things.
In its most recent short-term energy outlook, released Tuesday, the Energy
Departments
Energy
Information
Administration cut its gasoline price forecast for 2015 by 35 cents a gallon. It was the
second time in two months that the EIA cut
the forecast by more than 30 cents a gallon.
The average national price of gasoline to
$2.66 a gallon on Tuesday according to
AAA, 61 cents less than last year at this
time. The national average has fallen every
day since September 26.
The steep drop in gasoline prices is a
result of a drop in crude oil supplies. Global
crude prices have fallen to around $66 per
barrel from a June high of $115 per barrel.
Global supplies are high thanks in part to
rising production in the U.S., while global
demand is relatively weak because of slowing economic growth in Europe and Asia.

Mills High School Matters

Protect the Future of our Students and our School
We call on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of
Trustees to nd a new location for Design Tech Charter High
School for the 2015-2016 school year. The Trustees should
honor their original commitment to the Mills community that
co-location on the Mills High School campus would be limited
to one year.
Mills High School should not be placed at risk. Mills High
School has a proven track record of educational excellence
and the Trustees should do everything in their power to
preserve and enrich this outstanding educational asset for our
community.
The Mills High School campus is simply not large enough to
support the growing needs of the charter high school. A
Board-appointed co-location taskforce previously concluded
that a second year for the charter school on the Mills campus
was untenable and detrimental to Mills High School. Design
Techs enrollment is expected to double next year, requiring
additional classrooms and other facilities of up to 28,000sf to
support its experimental program.
We strongly urge the Board of Trustees to act in the best interest of all our students. Find a new location NOW for Design
Tech that enables students at both schools to thrive.

Why areas with good jobs have hard-to-afford homes

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Its the new career tradeoff: Around the country, areas with the
strongest job markets increasingly have
some of the costliest homes. And areas with
the most affordable homes lack a solid base
of middle class jobs that attract workers.
College graduates and younger families
have been clustering in coastal cities such as
New York, San Francisco and Seattle, where
incomes are generally ample and solid middle-class jobs plentiful. Yet studies and government data show that homes in these areas
have become prohibitively expensive.
The result is that the dream of home ownership for many is proving frustrating,
being deferred or abandoned, even for people
with comfortable incomes.
This great mismatch is hurting middle
class people who would like to be homeowners, said Nela Richardson, chief economist
at the real estate brokerage Redfin.
Roughly 40 percent of households in New
York, San Francisco, Seattle, parts of
Connecticut and Colorado, and Washington,
D.C., earn more than $100,000 annually,
compared with just 22 percent nationwide,
according to the Census Bureau.
Areas that do offer inexpensive housing

No terrorism link seen

in Jewish center stabbing
NEW YORK A man with a history of
mental illness slipped into the headquarters
of a major Jewish organization in Brooklyn
in the middle of the night and stabbed an
Israeli student in the head as he was studying
in the library.
Then, as the screaming, bloody victim
was taken away, the attacker lunged at
police with his knife and was shot and
killed, authorities said.
Calvin Peters, 49, could be seen on ama-

This trend has likely helped hold back
U.S. economic growth. Cities with the
strongest job markets would grow even
faster if more people could afford to live
there, noted Jed Kolko, chief economist at
the online real estate firm Trulia. The additional population would help spur further
job growth, which, in turn, would strengthen the local economy and foster more middle-class jobs.
Two factors are getting in the way.
Tighter credit has made it harder to buy a
home in the costliest areas with a down payment of under 10 percent.
Leading up to the recession, mortgages
with no or low down payments reached
destructive excesses. Yet first-time buyers
who have stable incomes are struggling to
afford homes without these options, noted
Nela Richardson, chief economist at the real
estate brokerage Redfin.
Second, construction is running well
below its pace from a decade ago. The gov- Tighter credit has made it harder to buy a home in the costliest areas with a down payment

Senate probe catalogs brutality against detainees

By Bradley Klapper
and Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The United States

brutalized scores of terror suspects
with interrogation tactics that turned
secret CIA prisons into chambers of
suffering and did nothing to make
America safer after the 9/11 attacks,
Senate
investigators
concluded
Tuesday.
The
Senate
Intelligence
Committees torture report, years in
the making, accused the CIA of misleading its political masters about
what it was doing with its black site
captives and deceiving the nation
about the effectiveness of its techniques.
The report was the first public
accounting of tactics employed after
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,
and it described far harsher actions
than had been widely known.
Tactics included confinement to
small boxes, weeks of sleep deprivation, simulated drowning, slapping
and slamming, and threats to kill,
harm or sexually abuse families of the
captives.
The report produced revulsion
among many, challenges to its veracity among some lawmakers and a sharp
debate about whether it should have
been released at all.

of step with some fellow Republicans
in welcoming the report and endorsing
its findings.
We gave up much in the expectation
that torture would make us safer, he
said in a Senate speech. Too much.
Five hundred pages were released,
representing the executive summary
and conclusions of a still-classified
6,700-page full investigation.
President Barack Obama declared
some of the past practices to be brutal, and as Ive said before, constituted
torture in my mind. And thats not who
we are, he told the Spanish-language

TV network Telemundo in an interview.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California,
the Democratic committee chairman
whose staff prepared the summary,
branded the findings a stain on the
nations history.
Under any common meaning of the
term, CIA detainees were tortured, she
declared, commanding the Senate floor
for an extended accounting of the techniques identified in the investigation.
The report catalogued the use of ice
baths, death threats, shackling in the
cold and much more.

Around the world

Ukraine forces, rebels largely suspend hostilities
DONETSK, Ukraine Government troops and Russianbacked separatists largely suspended hostilities in east
Ukraine on Tuesday, raising hopes of a lasting peaceful settlement in a conflict that has raged for seven months and
claimed thousands of lives.
The lull in fighting followed a proposal by Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko to hold a day of silence as a
bid to revive a largely ignored cease-fire deal reached in
September.
The war has left more than 4,300 people dead, displaced
hundreds of thousands and exhausted a nation struggling to
stave off economic collapse.
As Ukraine enters its long winter, when temperatures can
drop below freezing for days if not weeks on end, combat
fatigue is showing on both sides.
Separatist rebel leaders have supported the truce, which
appeared to be holding around the main rebel-held cities of
Donetsk and Luhansk.
Despite a noticeable decrease in the level of shelling, the
military press office said Tuesday evening said there had
been 13 attacks on army positions and residential areas in
government-controlled settlements.

Israel indicts American over plot to bomb Muslims

JERUSALEM An American Christian who passed himself off as an ex-U.S. Navy SEAL faces charges in Israel of
trying to blow up Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, Israeli
authorities said Tuesday.
Israeli police and the Justice Ministry identified the man
as Adam Everett Livix, 30. Police said he faces drug charges
back in the U.S. and that he once turned down an offer from
a Palestinian to assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama
during the leaders visit to the Holy Land in 2013.
The Justice Ministry said the man they identified as Livix
underwent a psychiatric evaluation Tuesday after his indictment Monday on charges of illegal weapon possession and
overstaying his visa by more than a year. Operating in
cooperation with Israels Shin Bet security service, police
went to arrest Livix last month at his 7th-floor apartment,
the ministry said, but he initially tried to escape by leaping
down to a patio on the floor below.

Mediation needed for Burlingame pool dispute

he agreement that created the

new Burlingame High School
pool in 1999 was heralded as
a win-win situation for everyone
involved and illustrated what grand
things could happen if the community
worked together for a common good.
The San Mateo Union High School
District did not have the money to
refurbish the pool damaged in the
1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the
city did not have the land for a pool.
And an anonymous donor interested
in having a state-of-the-art community pool stepped forward with a $1.2
million donation to add to the citys
contribution of $1.6 million and
$300,000 from the district.
At the time, the community benet
was clear. The school got a nice new
pool and the community, that forked
over millions to refurbish it, could
use it when students did not need it.
The new pool was also signicantly
larger so that meant more groups
could also use it at the same time.
Three years ago, a dispute arose
over the breakdown of pool use and
overall maintenance and now, the two
sides are at a precipice that if traveled
down will forever change the relationship between the city government and
the high school district, which is
threatening a lawsuit over payments.
So how did this great partnership

Editorial
unravel? It largely depends on to
whom you speak. Maintenance issues
seem to have been ironed out, but the
primary dispute seems to focus on
payments for use, with the city suggesting anywhere up to 70 percent
plus an additional 5 percent for overhead being fair and the district asking
for 91 percent plus an additional 5
percent for overhead. Also at issue is
the communitys use of the pool. The
numbers are far away, but not that far
away. However, there is little indication that anyone is willing to meet in
the middle or even compromise
despite some expressed platitudes.
And thats too bad.
Much of this particular entanglement may also be tied to an earlier
dispute over facility and eld use and
fee payments for them around ve
years ago. Before then, the city and
the district had a loose arrangement to
trade use of facilities and an effort to
rm them up caused signicant strife.
This dispute may or may not be an
extension of that prior dispute but has
its own ramications. While the district has a primary focus on ensuring
its facilities are available and maintained properly for its students, it

also has a responsibility to understand its place in the larger community. It is that community spirit that is
imperiled by this recent stalemate
over the usage agreement of a shared
resource. And make no mistake, it is a
shared resource.
The problem at this point is the dispute over usage and the revision of
data that led to the conict. The city
doesnt want to pay the higher
amount and the district does not want
to accept a lower amount. A reasonable person would assume that rationale souls could prevail and there may
be some consideration of the greater
good. Taking this issue to court will
not only cost the district money, it
will cost the city money as well. And
both are funded by tax payers. There
is a city offer of nonbinding mediation on the table and we strongly suggest the district Board of Trustees take
the city up on the offer. Taking this
dispute to a court of law will be costly
to both sides and there is a chance
that rationale souls might prevail
through a third-party mediator that
can take a look at both arguments and
both sets of data to come up with a
reasonable compromise. It may not
be the win-win that created the partnership, but it certainly would avoid a
lose-lose. And at this point, the community will take that.

Your 1040 EZ will
no longer be easy
Editor,
As 2014 tax returns are led, I want
all of you to thank Barack, Barbara,
Dianne, Jackie and Anna. Every taxpayer who les a tax return has to
answer a new question regarding health
insurance. Every taxpayer has to
answer the question that you and all
your household dependents have been
covered by health insurance all year. If
any of those individuals did not have
insurance for even one month, you will
have to complete new tax forms and
you will have to break down your
income on a monthly basis to determine your tax penalties, unless of
course you qualify for one of the 19
exemptions. Your 1040 EZ will no
longer be easy. It makes me wonder if I
should add Intuit (Turbo Tax) or H&R

It was recently reported that Google

Peninsula in ve years. Alibaba is
rumored to be coming to Burlingame.
No one seems to be talking about
where all these thousands of employees are going to live. Although large,
dense apartment buildings are sprouting up here and there, they will never
keep up with the expected growth. The
units are also designed for working
individuals, not families who stabilize
communities, let alone seniors or disabled people.
With a total lack of renter protections on the Peninsula, it is quite simple to displace every non-tech renter
who lives here with the help of the
landlords, through huge multiple rent
increases every few months. Its a gold
rush for the landlords and the corporations. Renters who have lived here all
their lives and helped establish and
enrich the communities they live in are
easy pickings and quickly disposed of.
The ones who are staying are living in
overcrowded conditions and cutting
back on everything, just to pay their
landlords 50 percent and more of their
income for a roof. Immediate rent stabilization on the Peninsula is an
absolute necessity; anything less is
inhumane.

Xmas or Christmas?

t is in the blind pursuit of material prosperity

that Americans have begun to push the boundaries of human adaptation, as is evidenced by
rising levels of greed, anxiety and obesity. Peter C.
Whybrow, American Mania.
We all know that there are two titles for Dec. 25
Christmas and Xmas the Christian one and the acquisitive one. The second has evolved over the years from the
days when children received a gift from Santa Claus (if
they were good) to a seasonal shopping frenzy, which, if I
were part of the religious observance of the day, I would
appropriately resent.
Certainly there is more to life than accumulating status
symbols! But our corporate interests have taken over and
have turned what should have been a season of hope and
charity (even if you are not religious) into a circus of
acquisition, hoping mindless shoppers fall for their hype.
After Thanksgiving, the TV news shows regularly remind
us of the success (or not) of the retail establishments in
increasing their prots. Seems the whole point of the season is to contribute to their coffers. The Black Friday and
Cyber Monday mania is now being spread all through
December as commercial establishments vie for shoppers
dollars. As Whybrow wrote: Seduced by the novelty and
opportunities afforded by our wealth, we have passed
beyond need and fallen into an addictive striving for
more.
Xmas has gone viral. As
the shopping frenzy has
escalated, much of our
economy seems to depend
upon the Santa Claus factor. At a time when a great
many of us have everything we need (and then
some), when children are
often so indulged and bombarded with many things
that they have no idea what
to do with, of buying a new
Acura, or more diamonds or
another American Girl doll
and accessories, think of how much the money spent for
such extravagance could brighten the lives of those in
need.
If weve watched the news on TV or read about it in the
newspaper, were aware of homeless people being forced
out of their encampment in San Jose. I cant help but wonder where these unfortunate ones are expected to go. If
they can handle living on their own, some kind of housing should be available. If they are not able to function
adequately to live on their own, then institutions that
house them and help them with their physical and psychological problems should be added. We, in this nation, can
afford it. It all depends where our priorities lie.
These unfortunate people are not just, as many conservatives would claim, a bunch of losers who havent
worked hard enough to participate in The American
Dream. They are unable to function better for any number
of reasons. They are unable to pull themselves up by
their bootstraps. Possibly they have a mental handicap,
are seriously depressed, have been so damaged by life
everything from rejecting parents, to lack of education, to
mind-boggling catastrophe that there is little hope for
their improvement. Maybe they became victims of our
unbalanced economy. Maybe they once had a job but
couldnt nd another. Whatever the reason, they need to
be helped.
As Jon Carroll wrote in the Dec. 4 Chronicle: Might
you not say in all sincerity, looking at people living in
cardboard boxes or sitting on the corner drinking cheap
whiskey: There, but for the grace of God, go I? People
who make mistakes, people who are still making mistakes, also need our love. Or our cash.
The fact that so many people have to live in such an
encampment is a poignant indication of our lack of concern for those who havent had the luck that weve had.
Yes, I said luck. If you are able to spend lavishly on
Black Friday and/or Christmas gifts, or even if you are
carefully watching every penny, but are able to put food
on the table and meet other needs, consider that you have
been lucky.
If you are among the fortunate, think about how you can
contribute to the well-being of others by donating to reliable and trustworthy charities that help those in need
not only during this season, but all year round. Some
good ones are Samaritan House, St. Anthonys Dining
Room, Second Harvest Food Bank, Salvation Army, Glide
Foundation and the Assistance League of San Mateo
County. This will not only help others, but also help you
appreciate the true spirit of the season.
It is through the empathetic intimacy of human relationships, not with accumulation of material goods that
true prosperity is secured ... . Working together, we have
the knowledge to construct a society built on empathy,
not envy. The choice is ours. Whybrow.

Apple trial may have new plaintiff
OAKLAND A Massachusetts ice skater

Panthers slip past Dons

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Soccer can be a cruel game. Just ask the

Aragon boys soccer team.
Hosting Burlingame in a non-league contest
in San Mateo Tuesday, the Dons had the better
scoring chances and if not for several spectacular saves from Burlingame goalkeeper Jamie
Ybarra, the Dons might have won the game
going away.
Instead, it was the most unassuming shot of
the game off the foot of Burlingames Josh
Levitan in the second half that gave the
Panthers a 1-0 win.
I thought we played well, said Burlingame
coach Dave Siracusa. The energy was a little
lackluster.
Burlingame had a tough time, especially in
the first half, of directing shots on net, finishing with just one shot on goal in the opening
40 minutes. The Panthers did a good of building
up an attack through the midfield and possessing the ball.
But once they got into the final third of the
field, the Aragon defense collapsed well on
them, either smothering a shot attempt or forcing long distance attempts on goal.
We kind of run out of ideas in the final third,
Siracusa said. If you can get to the (end) line,
you have (more offensive) options.
The Panthers turned things around offensively in the second half, finishing with seven
shots, with four on goal. Several of them were
of the dangerous variety.
With about 20 minutes left to play, Levitan
found the ball on his foot at the top right corner
of the Aragon penalty box. He sent a shot on
frame and it somehow avoided all the traffic in
the penalty box, glanced off the far left post and
softly rolled into net.
Sharif Shibli nearly made it 2-0 for
Burlingame minutes later, when his shot snuck
under the Aragon goalkeeper, but rolled wide of
the goal.
Aragon had a couple more golden scoring
chances over the final few minutes, but could
not solve Ybarra.
Jamie was a standout, for sure, Siracusa
said. He could be the best goalie in the
[Peninsula Athletic League].
He certainly looked it on this day as the
Aragon offense tested him. Ybarra passed with
flying colors, finishing with eight saves.
Aragon put the pressure on early. In just the
second minute of the game, Ricardo Villasenor
won a ball in the midfield, won a 50-50 challenge and found space at the top of the

Agresti, she was floored when she found out
Shepherd bypassed a sure thing at Denver for a
long-shot to land a roster spot at Santa Clara.
By that same token, however, Agresti said
she was certain Shepherd deserved a Division I
college career, even if she didnt quite look the
part. Shepherd, after all, is a 5-7 defensive specialist whose personality is the antithesis of
the prototypical outgoing volleyball player.
Shes not your classic, fiery, in-your-face
player, Agresti said. But she was the type of
player that stepped on the floor every time for
us and got it done.
Agresti saw Shepherd go through a similar
audition during their first year together at
Payes Place for the 16-and-under team. It was
Agrestis first year coaching at the club, and
Shepherds third year playing. Shepherd had
played outside hitter the previous two seasons.
With the 16s team, however, it was quickly

Normally, basketball coaches dont have

a long post-game meeting following a preholiday tournament game.
Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund is
not a normal coach. Following his teams
57-46 win over Irvington-Fremont in the
first round of the Burlingame Lions Club
Tournament, Forslund spent nearly a half
hour talking to his team.
And it wasnt all about the game the
Cougars had just played. Forslund was more
concerned about his teams mental
approach.
Were very young. We have only two
guys with a lot of experience, Forslund
said. Its a big step (to the varsity level). In
order to find success, you have to put in the
work. There (will be) a lot of growing
pains (this season).
The Cougars will play the winner of
Menlo-Atherton/Sacred Heart Prep at 6:30
p.m. Wednesday.
Forslunds concerns were magnified early
in the game as Irvington jumped out to a
quick 9-3 lead in the first quarter before
Forslund called timeout about halfway
through the opening period.
He didnt talk about Xs and Os. He questioned where their collective heads were.
The move paid off as the Cougars ramped
up the intensity on the boards and defense
and that translated into a much more fluid
offense. Half Moon Bay proceeded to
outscore the Vikings 11-3 the rest of the
opening period.
The Cougars continued the torrid pace in
the second quarter to take a 27-18 lead at
halftime.
Half Moon Bays 6-7 center, Case
DuFrane, got off to a bit of a slow start, but
once he found a groove, he was virtually
impossible to stop. He scored six of the
Cougars 11 points that ended the first quarter and he added four more points in the second quarter to finish with 10 at the half on
his way to a 14-point night.
DuFrane also nabbed five rebounds.
Case played pretty well, Forslund said.
I thought he made some nice moves down
in the block.

Shepherd living the dream at Santa Clara

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Mary Shepherds sophomore season at

Santa Clara University ended in disappointment, with the Broncos being eliminated in
the opening match of the NCAA volleyball
postseason last Thursday.
Then again, theres the bigger picture. In
that scope, Shepherds first two years at Santa
Clara have been nothing short of a dream come
true.
Shepherd a Hillsborough native who
played volleyball at Crocker Middle School
before moving on to St. Ignatius took a circuitous route to landing a spot on the Broncos
roster. Originally having committed to the
University of Denver to play volleyball,
Shepherd was admitted to Santa Clara during
her senior year of high school.
While her admittance was purely academic,
she made the bold decision to forego her roster
spot at Denver to stay close to home even
though, at the time, she had no affiliation with

the Broncos volleyball team.

Santa Clara was a dream school of mine,
Shepherd said. I never was able to get in contact with the coach. But volleyball was a priority to me going back to high school.
With her volleyball future in limbo,
Shepherds years of hard work on the club volleyball circuit were about to pay off. Entering
into her fifth year with the same club team
she started with Payes Place as a 14-year-old,
which later converted to Encore during her 18s
season she began a makeshift showcase in
an attempt to gain an audition for Broncos
head coach Jon Wallace.
He watched my team a little bit at nationals
and he kind of said, We dont need you that
badly, but if you come to our camp, you can
play there, Shepherd said. I was just really
persistent and just had this goal of making the
team.
Persistence is one of Shepherds defining
characteristics, according to Encore head
coach Jen Agresti.

As latest deal marks homecoming for Cals Semien

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

KEVIN GRABOWSKI/USA TODAY SPORTS

Former Cal shortstop Marcus Semien was one of four players acquired by
the As from the White Sox in exchange for All-Star right-hander Jeff
Samardzija and minor leaguer Michael Ynoa.

Jeff Samardzija is on the trade

carousel back to Chicago.
Meanwhile, infielder Marcus
Semien is heading home.
Semien was part of a four-player
package acquired by the Oakland
As Tuesday in exchange for sending the All-Star right-hander
Samardzija and fireballing pitching prospect Michael Ynoa to the
Chicago White Sox. Samardzija
was acquired by the As from the
Chicago Cubs in July for a
prospect package that included
minor league shortstop Addison
Russell.
In addition to Semien, the As
received catcher Josh Phegley,
right-hander Chris Bassitt and
minor league first baseman Rangel
Ravelo in the deal.
An El Cerrito native who played
his final season of collegiate baseball with the 2011 Cal team that
advanced to the College World
Series, Semien said he was pleased
to hear he was heading back to the
East Bay when White Sox general
manager Rick Hahn called Tuesday
morning to notify the 24-year-old
infielder of the trade.
Im just very excited to be able
to play this game wherever Im at
in the first place, but being able to
come home and see my family
more than a short offseason will be
very special to me, Semien said.
Semien was the second middle
infielder in as many days to be
acquired by Oakland. Monday, the
As shipped first baseman Brandon
Moss to the Cleveland Indians for
minor league second baseman Joe
Wendle, who played predominately

at Double-A Akron last season.

Since Semien made his major
league debut in 2013 with a two-hit
game at Yankee Stadium, he has
played in 85 big-league games
over the past two years. He hit
.234 with six home runs and 28
RBIs in 231 at-bats last season,
but finished with his best month in
the big leagues by hitting .273 in
September.
Selected as a shortstop in the
sixth round of the 2011 draft, he
has played predominately second
and third base in the majors, seeing limited time at shortstop
behind White Sox All-Star Alexei
Ramirez.
The White Sox moved me
around a little bit just to give me
a shot, Semien said. Im very
grateful for that. Now I just want to
take advantage of this opportunity
with Oakland and get better every
day.
With the impending departure of
free-agent shortstop Jed Lowrie,
the As have little shortstop experience. Aside from Semien, the As
have Eric Sogard, Nick Punto and
Andy Parrino, who account for a
vast majority of that experience,
on the current 40-man roster. The
three of them totaled 45 games at
the position last season.
Semiens former Cal teammate,
current Washington Nationals second base prospect Tony Renda,
observed elite defensive play at the
collegiate level from his former
double-play partner. Along with
Semiens soft hands and dynamic
arm, Renda said Semien had good
range at the position from 200911.
Above all though, Renda a
Hillsborough native and former

Serra standout remembers

Semiens athleticism the most, he
said.
Theres no denying, Marcus,
hes an exceptional athlete. Hes
probably one of the most athletic
guys on the field, Renda said. I
think he definitely takes that athleticism to short. Just when I
played with him in college, he was
an advanced shortstop. He was
good at it and Im sure, being in
the White Sox organization, hes
only gotten better at the position.
He didnt make it to the big
leagues for no reason. The guy can
play.
The natural athleticism stands to
reason, as Semiens father Damien
was a standout wide receiver at Cal
from 1990-94. Born during his
fathers freshman year of college,
Semien was attending Cal football
games before he could walk or talk.
He went on to become a standout
two-sport athlete at Berkeleys St.
Marys College High School, but
said he always preferred baseball.
[Playing baseball] has been my
dream ever since I started playing
the game, Semien said. I love
sports. Sports are my passion. I
played basketball in high school
but baseball was my love.
After being contacted by Hahn
Tuesday morning with news of the
trade, Semien received a phone call
As general manager Billy Beane
shortly thereafter. He has since
communicated with manager Bob
Melvin. Yet Semien said he doesnt
know how the As plan to utilize
him.
Everything has kind of happened so fast, Ive just had short
conversations with Billy; and

Torre to look at baseballs replay

By Howie Rumberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO After watching a full season of expandedreplay review, Joe Torre is unhappy with what he saw that
is, before managers challenged plays.
Major League Baseballs chief baseball ofcer thinks one
way to cut down lengthy games is to adjust replay rules.
Initially when we talked about rolling out replay, we
basically talked about if you go out of the dugout you cant
challenge it. That was the rst thought we had, Torre
explained Tuesday at the winter meetings. And then I said,
I hate to take that away from the manager. But I didnt really, in thinking that way, I really didnt plan on watching
managers meander on out. ... That looks bad.
Time and again, the Dance of the Manager would play out
after a close play to give the teams replay crew a chance to
look at the video. Whether it was Don Mattingly with the
Los Angeles Dodgers or Joe Girardi with the New York
Yankees or Joe Maddon with Tampa Bay, the moves were the
same.
The manager hesitated on the top step of the dugout before
taking a slow stroll out to an umpire. The manager
inevitably coaxed the umpire into swinging around so the

skipper could have a clear view into the dugout while awaiting a thumbs up or down from a coach: review or not. More
often than not, the manager and umpire engaged in what
appeared to be friendly banter.
The 1,275 reviews in the rst year of expanded replay
averaged 1 minute, 46 seconds in a season in which game
times ballooned to 3 hours, 2 minutes on average for nineinning games.
With Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred making attracting
younger viewers a priority, everything on the eld is up for
discussion when it comes to enlivening Americas pastime,
plagued by sagging national TV ratings.
Torre will be meeting with the 30 managers at the
Manchester Grand Hyatt, overlooking San Diego Bay, home
of the famed aircraft carrier USS Midway, and one of his
main topics will be replay review. The Hall of Famer will
then gather with the rules committee to further discuss pace
of game among other issues.
I think what were looking at now in regards to pace of
game is strictly pace of game. Not necessarily length of
game, although that would pick up if you helped the pace,
Torre said. And part of that was I guess you could look at the
replay stuff where the challenge system, where we had managers go out.

49ers activate Bowman following knee surgery

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA NaVorro Bowman realizes that just by strapping on a helmet

again and stepping onto the practice field
he could provide the San Francisco 49ers
and their defense a serious emotional lift
when they desperately need one.
Even if his surgically repaired left knee
isnt quite ready for game day, and might not
be before seasons end. Almost certainly
not in time for Sundays return to Seattle,
where he injured the knee in an NFC championship game loss last January.
Im going to get out there when I feel
100 percent, lets be clear on that,
Bowman said Tuesday. Throughout this
rehab process, Ive been doing everything
to get me this far. Now its time for some
football activity, some quick-reaction,
things like that. Of course I want to be
there, if Im ready to go. It just comes to if
Im ready. Im listening to the doctors.
Theyre being great, cautious about what I
do. As far as me, once Im out there, I dont
know how to go slow. I just know one
speed.

win mode the rest of the
Bowman
way to have even a slim
chance of making the playoffs for the fourth
straight year under coach Jim Harbaugh.
After back-to-back embarrassing losses
to Seattle and Oakland, Harbaughs future is
in question.
Weve been on an up-and-down slope
this year, but Ive been behind these guys
since Day 1, Bowman said. Its hard to go
out there and play teams like Seattle where
youve got young guys that havent been in
those type of games yet. Just me putting on
a helmet again, guys seeing me put the work
in, just showing them that I really do love
this game, hopefully it will raise the morale
of the team.
Bowman, for his part, never considered

not trying to play in 2014.

While defensive coordinator Vic Fangio
said Bowman would likely need a couple of
weeks of practice before playing, it might
depend on the teams chances whether he
does get in a game at all. The 49ers havent
said whether Bowman will practice this
week.
Its obviously big. Hes not just a defensive leader for our team but last year I think
he was the best defensive player in the
NFL, linebacker Dan Skuta said. Im
happy for him, just to have another great
player out on the field.
Being without Bowman was a huge blow
to a defense that missed pass-rushing specialist Aldon Smith for the first nine games
because of a suspension and lost Patrick
Willis for the year a month ago because of a
strained muscle in his left big toe that
required surgery. He was hurt in the third
quarter at St. Louis on Oct. 13.
Regardless of Bowmans game-day status,
having him as a potential option means so
much.
Thats awesome. I know they might want
to ease him into this, given its been awhile
and hes fresh off his injury, second-year

safety Eric Reid said. Its been different for

me a lot, being that last year being my
rookie year, all I knew was Patrick Willis
and NaVorro Bowman sitting there in front
of me making plays, Reid said. This year,
theres some new faces, but theyve been
playing great. I dont think we can ask them
to play any better. Its been different but it
will be awesome to have him back.
Bowman tore the anterior cruciate and
medial collateral ligaments in his knee then
had surgery to repair the ACL. In recent
weeks he has begun to cut again and simulate football movements.
He was an All-Pro in 2011, 12 and last
year, and earned Pro Bowl selections in 12
and 13.
Any time a player of his caliber becomes
available its always a positive thing,
punter Andy Lee said. Hes been working
really hard to try to get back on the field.
Hes definitely somebody that if he can get
back out there, why wouldnt it help us?
The 49ers cleared roster room by placing
second-year tight end Vance McDonald on
injured reserve with a back injury.
McDonald has appeared in 23 games and has

are not public employees. Its a pre-emptive

move after Northwestern University football

NCAA have spoken out against unionization.

Ive talked to Bob Melvin,
Semien said. They know Ive
played shortstop. I came up as a
shortstop. But they also know I
play other positions. I just want to
come into camp and work hard, get
my reps in and go to work. And
wherever they tell me to go,
whether its shortstop, or anywhere else, Ill be ready to go.
Coming from a talented White
Sox infield mix that included
Ramirez at shortstop, former
Giants third baseman Conor
Gillaspie, second baseman Gordon
Beckham until he was traded to
the Angels in August and AL
Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu at
first base, Semien said he isnt taking anything for granted despite
the current infield opportunities in
Oakland.
You really need to work because
everybody is fighting for a job,
Semien said. Theres only 25
guys to make that team in the big
leagues. So, I learned really quick

THE DAILY JOURNAL

NHL enforcers are slowly vanishing

PHILADELPHIA Dave Schultz
would drop his gloves in a flash,
his bare fists pummeling away at
unprotected faces in fits of fury so
ferocious he became known as The
Hammer.
Schultz was the intimidating
backbone of Philadelphias Broad
Street Bullies teams of the 1970s
that won a pair of Stanley Cup
championships. The Flyers rugged
style of play became their calling
card, and rare was the NHL team that
didnt have a tough guy or two
whose primary role was to protect
his teammates by brute force.
Fast forward 40 years since the
Flyers last championship and
players like Schultz are having a
harder time sticking in the NHL.
The role of the enforcer is seemingly going down without a fight as
speed and skill on every line have
become the norm.
In a league that is also facing
head injury concerns and lawsuits is it finally time to say
goodbye to the goon?
They just wanted to take fighting out of the game, Schultz said.
Its not the same game.
But not necessarily a worse one.
The true signal the culture in the
NHL has changed comes from
Schultzs old stomping grounds.
For the first time since the organization was in its infancy, the Flyers
opened the season without a true
enforcer on their roster. Heck, their
biggest threat might be goalie Ray
Emery, who headlined a fight last
season against Washingtons
unwilling goalie, Braden Holtby.
Weve got some toughness on
our team, Flyers general manager

Ron Hextall said. Weve got some

guys that can handle themselves.
But I think when you look, there
werent a lot of fights in the preseason. There are never any fights in
the playoffs. In between, theres
been less and less.
The numbers back up the former
NHL goalie.
There were 143 fights through
the first 408 games of the season,
which projects to 431 fights overall,
according
to
hockeyfights.com. Thats a dramatic dip from 734 fights in 2008-09
and 714 fights in 2009-10. The
number of fights fell into the 500s
in 2011-12 and the 400s last season (there were 347 fights in the
lockout-shortened 2012-13 season).
The NHL has toughened instigation penalties in place since the
1930s. It added a two-minute minor
for the player who started the fight
in the 1990s, looking to both cut
down on brawling and perhaps
attract more casual fans. Of late, the
NHL is dishing out longer suspensions for cheap shots and illegal
hits, erasing some of the players
unwritten code of justice.
That tells you, lets just play
hockey, Schultz said. And when
theres a problem, the league will
take care of it.
That role used to be left to the
enforcers, the de facto bodyguards
for the stars. Back on the put-upyour-dukes heyday, even Wayne
Gretzky had his own personal great
one watching his back: Marty
McSorley was the Hall of Famers
first line of thuggish defense, serving and protecting Gretzky in
stints with Edmonton and Los
Angeles.
I remember when guys like

Gretzky said, we want guys to be

able to protect us, Schultz said.
(Sidney) Crosby doesnt want to
be protected. By the league, yes.
But not by one of his teammates.
Stu Grimson, the color analyst
on Nashville Predators TV broadcasts, was known as The Grim
Reaper with 2,113 career penalty
minutes in his NHL career. He said
fighting still has a role in the
game, especially at home games
where one entertaining scrum can
shift momentum and liven up the
fans.
I think the fight itself, there is a
purpose for it, and you can put your
finger on that purpose, he said. I
think it makes sense to keep that in
the game, and I think its valuable
to the game for that reason.
Chicago Blackhawks forward
Dan Carcillo said fights arent
going to completely vanish, either.
I dont think the mindless,
senseless, go out and fight, rah-rah,
for no reason, I dont think that has
a place in the game anymore,
Carcillo said. If guys take runs at
other players, I think those players
that take the run at them, whether
they fight or not, they have to
know in the back of their mind that
theres still fighting in this game
and theyre going to have to answer
the bell or respond to it if theyre
going to take dirty runs or cheap
shots.
But in the back of everyone
minds is the risk of concussions
and other long-term health risks
that come with trading punches on
the ice. The idea that brawling was
as much fun as a nasty wreck in
NASCAR or bench-clearing brawl
in baseball came to a jarring halt in
2011 when three former enforcers
were found dead.

With his departure from the
South Side of Chicago, however,
Semien will be leaving behind one
of his oldest friends in the game
White Sox right-hander Erik
Johnson. The two were both drafted out of Cal in 2011 by the White
Sox after playing college ball
together for three seasons, and
even roomed together at Cal for
two years. The two went on to
make their respective major league
debuts on the same day on Sept. 4,
2013 after having played together
even before college, as they were
teammates at the 2008 Area Code
Games with the Milwaukee
Brewers scout team.
That day we got drafted together
by the White Sox was a special day
for us because we had just made it
past the [regional playoffs en route
to Omaha] in college and the draft
was going on at the same time,
Semien said. So, it was a great
time that we shared together.

Half Moon Bay responded with a

The Cougars eventually pushed
their lead to 20 in the fourth period, 53-33, on a Nuo bucket. But

They battled to the end, outscoring

Forslund thanked the Vikings

wide.
Ricardo Diaz was threading pinpoint passes from his center
midfield spot, finding the likes of Villasenor, Edwin Sazo and
Alejandro Carrillo and springing them into dangerous situations.
The Dons just lacked that finishing touch.
The Panthers, however, started to take away Diaz as the game
wore on and he was less effective after the early barrage.
Diaz, a sophomore, was also rotated out of the game on several occasions as well as Aragon coach Greg Markoulakis continued to tinker with his lineup.
We have a rotation of five in the central midfield and all five
will be extremely involved (this season), Markoulakis said.
Late in the first half, Ybarra made his first big save of the game,
pushing aside a shot from Michael Lantheir from 20 yards out in
stoppage time.
Villasenor was denied again in the opening minute of the second half when Ybarra parried away a shot, and again minutes later
when Sazo found Villasenor alone in front of the goal. But he
scuffed his shot and it was easily saved.
That was the theme of the game for the Dons excellent scoring chances turned aside by Ybarra.

even shorter than 5-7 could not survive as a front-row player.
Shepherd converted to the back row, initially competing for
the libero position which ultimately went to Atherton native
Cassie Wes. So, Shepherd took to a role as a defensive specialist and grew into one of the players who defined the prominence of the team in the years to come, according to Agresti.
Not only did the Encore 18s go on to place seventh at junior nationals to close the club teams final season together in
2013. The year previous, as Payes Place 17s, they took
bronze as a third-place team at junior nationals in Columbus,
Ohio.
In all those big games, she was the one who held it together, Agresti said. She was a gamer.
It was those sensibilities of Shepherds that came to light
during the three-day high school volleyball camp at Santa
Clara which essentially served as her tryout. It was less than a
month prior to the start of the 2013 NCAA season, and she
was mixing it up with approximately 80 players, most of
whom were a lot younger than Shepherd.
I was the only one to be trying out, Shepherd said.
Three weeks later, Shepherd was a Bronco. And the dream
come true for the quiet kid from Hillsborough who simply
loved playing sports just kept getting better. During her freshman season of 2013, she was one of five players to total double-digit digs on the season with 169 as the teams primary
libero.
Santa Clara struggled with an 11-16 overall record, but saw
a big-time turnaround this season. The Broncos finished 2014
with a 22-10 overall record while taking third place in the
West Coast Conference with a 12-6 conference mark, while
qualifying for their 15th NCAA postseason all-time.
Shepherd saw diminished playing time in the back row, but
still got regular rotation time as a serving specialist. She still
received an honorable mention for the WCC All-Academic
team this season. More so, the consistent overachiever said
she is determined to earn more playing time as a junior.

French Toast Crunch returns as cereal sales slide

By Sarah Skidmore Sell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. General Mills

said Monday that it bringing back popular 90s cereal French Toast Crunch in
a nod to nostalgia.
The food maker says the move is
purely a response to consumer demand,
but it comes as General Mills and other
cereal makers are coping with weaker
cereal sales due to changing consumer
tastes.
Cereal sales have slid as alternatives
such as Greek yogurt and breakfast
sandwiches have gained popularity.
And last month, General Mills, which
also makes foods such as Yoplait
yogurt and Progresso soup, cut is sales
and profit outlook for the year, citing
persistent sales weakness in the food
industry.
The company has tweaked other parts
of its cereal lineup recently in an
attempt to boost sales. It gave

Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal a

stronger cinnamon taste, made
Cheerios without genetically modified
ingredients and released a new line of
Cheerios with added protein.
General Mills said French Toast
Crunch, which was discontinued in
2006, is its most requested cereal for
rerelease. It said that calls come in
almost daily to request its return and
thousands of people signed an online
petition. A Facebook page dedicated to
the matter has nearly 9,000 followers.
Nostalgia is powerful, particularly
among millennials, said Waylon Good,
marketing manager for French Toast
Crunch. The company has tapped into
that for its marketing of the cereal
using Miss Cleo, a pop culture icon of
the same period known for television
ads for her telephone psychic readings,
in its marketing of the cereal.
General Mills said it has made a few
modifications to the cereal, including
reducing the sugar and increasing the
whole grains. But Good said the com-

pany has kept the same taste and nearly the same packaging that fans, who

Nostalgia among consumers often

Twinkies flew off shelves when it
appeared the treat might go away due to
company troubles. PepsiCos throwback version of Mountain Dew with
original formula, including real sugar,
and packaging was so popular its
release was extended. And this is targeting a generation that has retro sneakers
on their feet, vintage filters on their
cellphone pictures and throwback beer

lineup and will be in some stores this
month, with a complete national rollout in January.

mph along the coast, Anderson said.
Possible floods and debris slides are also
anticipated to carry on after the storm calms.
Its going to be wet and windy and high
surf. The only thing thats not going to happen is its not going to snow here. But were
going to have every other weather possible,
Anderson said.

Getting prepared
To prepare, experts are suggesting people
ensure they have plenty of batteries and
flashlights within arms reach in case of
power outages.

object was used rather than simply snap a
shot only of a product. Instead of just a
microphone, show a person using it, he
said.
Unlike photographs donated from newspaper collections, Pearl said his trove
includes the outtakes alongside the selected
images which will let viewers decades in the
future understand the desired messages.
Pearl said there was no hidden meaning in
his photographs. An image of women in
chairs at the fair, for instance, was literally
just that, he said.
I was no artist. I was just seeing and
reporting what was there, he said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Authorities are warning people to try and

coordinate their travel schedules around the
storm.
Well have high winds chasing the storm
with the ground in its current drought state
we always anticipate a lot of trees to fall. So
with that therell be downed power lines and
potential property damage, Molver said.
Driving conditions are going to be pretty
severe, we always recommend to think about
staying indoors during the worst [of it.]
People are encouraged to call 911 to report

downed power lines, trees blocking roads and

all situations that can cause death or great
harm, Molver said, and some cities have num-

bers to call to report blocked storm drains,

street flooding and creek concerns.
Drivers should remain particularly wary of
roads theyre unfamiliar with and not risk
driving through puddles if their depths are
unknown, Molver said.
Throughout the storm, drivers should also
have their headlights on, keep distance
between cars and remain focused, said San
Mateo police Sgt. Rick Decker.
We cant fight Mother Nature, but we can
protect ourselves and our neighbors by looking out for one another, which means slowing down as we drive on wet roads, stopping
for any potential inoperative or flashing red
stop lights and immediately reporting flooding, fallen debris or any other storm related
safety hazards via 911, Decker said in an
email.
The coastline is anticipated to take the
brunt of the storm, particularly with dry creek
beds prone to flooding. Winter 2012 also
brought a powerful storm, but 1998 was the
worst for Pescadero and La Honda as they led
the country with the most landslides that
year, Molver said.
Even when the rain calms, people must still
be wary as flooding from the mountains can
take time to make its way to the coast and
Bayside.

What was there illustrates a Peninsula

landscape very different than today. An aerial photograph captured Foster City in its
early development phases. In 1958, United
Airlines opened the first jetway passenger
loading system at San Francisco
International Airport.
Pearl settled on an aerial shot of five DC8 planes parked in a circle around the jetway
but was told only four were available. He
told those in charge, Then give me another
DC-8, he said. So they did.
With a five-minute window and an extra
jet brought in from Seattle, Pearl shot the
image from a helicopter above.
Just as Pearl doesnt see himself as an
artist, he sees cameras as tools without a
particular favorite. His first paid photograph of an opposing baseball teams side
arm pitcher was taken using a Brownie

Reflex model. Published in May 1947, the

photo netted Pearl a whopping $3.50. He
still has a photograph of the check.
Pearl, a native San Franciscan, was raised
in Burlingame and took up photography in
the late 1940s. He started by photographing classmates at McKinley School in
Burlingame and, as a volunteer with the
Burlingame Fire Department, shot local
news events for area papers. He worked for
United Press for three years until hired by a
San Mateo commercial photography studio
which he ultimately bought and moved to
Burlingame.
In his job, Pearl liked the unpredictability
of each day and saw the famous and unfamous as equal.
It really wasnt work. It was fun, he
said.
His desire to donate the collection began

after the Burlingame Historical Society

approached him about photos for its centennial celebration book. He went back to it
with hopes of donating all the boxes but the
society said its scope was far beyond what
could be accommodated and suggested the
countys history museum.
While Pearl handed over the boxes of negatives, his time with them is not done. He is
volunteering to help museum staff organize
the negatives for use with publications and
exhibits.
The gift multiplies the museums photographic inventory many times over and will
fill its existing gaps in one full swoop, said
museum President Mitch Postel.
Ultimately, the Pearl collection will be
available to all in the museums research
library which is open Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Sunday.

Residents should plan ahead with easy-toeat meals and keep plenty of drinking water
and prepare for extreme winds by securing
anything that can be blown away.
For those in flood-prone areas, numerous
cities are offering free sandbags but Brian
Molver, district coordinator with the Office of
Emergency Services said its important for
people to research how to use them as misplaced bags can inadvertently cause more
damage.
Residents are advised to make sure storm
drains, gutters and catch basins are cleared of
leaves and debris prior to the storm and during
if possible.

Continued from page 1

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The first time I heard of quinoa was more than 14 years

ago. I was at a bustling little restaurant called Le Loup
Blanc in Paris. The menu was plug-and-play pick a meat,
then fill out your plate with a selection of sides. Think
upscale table-service cafeteria with crammed-quarters,
French bistro charm and wine carafes clinking above a
smoky din.
Quinoa was one of those side choices. And like many of
us, I pronounced it incorrectly. But however I said it, I was
glad I tried it. I was immediately hooked on those nutty little grains, and I ordered quinoa every time I ate there.
Sometimes I made it the star of a meatless meal. Sometimes
it nestled up to whatever meat I opted for.

WINTER QUINOA DRESSING WITH

APPLES AND DRIED CRANBERRIES
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
1 1/4 cups uncooked quinoa
1 3/4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 sweet Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
2 small celery stalks (or 1 large), chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 apple, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
In a large microwave-safe baking dish, combine the
quinoa, broth and olive oil. Cover and microwave for 11
minutes, then allow to sit in the microwave for another 2
minutes. Remove the dish from the microwave and stir the
quinoa. Depending on the power of your microwave, you
may need to adjust the cooking time.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium heat, melt
the butter. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat
with a spoon, until the meat is golden, about 7 minutes.
Add the celery, onion and mushrooms, and cook until the
vegetables are tender, another 7 minutes. Add the apple,
cranberries, pine nuts, garlic, rosemary and sage, then
cook an additional 2 minutes.
Combine the quinoa with the sausage and vegetable mixture and serve immediately.

thats not possible, were also more

than willing to do whatevers necessary to protect the publics interest.
The commission can issue the daily
fines for each violation for up to five
years but, would likely date back to
Sept. 19, 2011, when the commission issued its first notice to the
property owner. According to the
commissions letter, violations stem
from the gate being closed, placement of signs deterring access, painting over a historical sign identifying
the beach to the public, pursuing
trespassing enforcement against public visitors, hiring private security
guards and more.
The Surfrider Foundation was successful in its lawsuit against Martins
Beach LLC from which Superior
Court Judge Barbara Mallach issued
her formal ruling Friday that closing
the gate and putting up no trespassing signs constituted unpermitted
development and violated the
California Coastal Act. Although
Mallach agreed with most of
Surfriders claims, she refused to
issue any penalties.
Attorney Joe Cotchett, who represented Surfrider, said he wasnt surprised the gate remained closed and
anticipates Khosla will appeal his
orders.
Clearly we will continue this case
until that gate is opened and the public has full access as theyve had for
the past 75 years. His threat, the
defendants threat, to take this case

to the Supreme Court does not deter

us, Cotchett said.
Khoslas attorney did not return a
request for comment.
Mike
Wallace,
a
Surfrider
spokesman and Half Moon Bay surf
club coach, said Khosla is a businessman and should take the commissions letter as an opportunity.
[The letter] reflected something
weve been saying all along, its that
were willing to do something in
good faith thats reasonable for the
property owner and the public. But
reasonableness has not been part of
the owners MO and he has another
opportunity to do the right thing
before enforcement action becomes
necessary,
Wallace
said.
Personally, I think he would want to
take a less costly route and bury the
ego a little bit.
While the commission is dedicated
to the Martins Beach case, Christie
said similar letters with threats of
using the state agencys new authority to issue fines have been sent to
others in violation of the Coastal
Act.
Its been working well. Weve gotten some good early voluntary compliance so really its working, the
administrative penalty authority,
although we havent assessed any
fines, Christie said. Under the
statute, were required to give the
property owner 30 days voluntary
cure period. So if the violation can be
resolved within that period of time,

of having to ask the attorney general

to file charges, as part of a budget
trailer bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed
in June.
Mondays letter is just the first step
in a long process and should the
property owner fail to remedy the
violation, commission staff must
prepare to go before the commission
for approval to implement fines,
Christie said.
Even on an overcast Tuesday morning, visitors pulled over and hopped
the gate to visit the beach thats
gained incredible notoriety. Despite
some ignoring the signs and walking
to the beach from Highway 1,
Wallace said he agreed with the commissions affirmation in its letter
that keeping the gate closed deters
visitors and prevents those with
physical limitations from experiencing what was once opened to the public for more nearly 100 years.
We need to find a reasonable solution and its long long overdue, after
wasting a lot of resources. But Im
very gratified that Judge Mallach and
the Coastal Commission have come
together at this juncture and made a
very serious claim to get this
resolved, Wallace said. I think its
a really important issue, a litmus test
for coastal access for more than just
here; which is why I think people
took it seriously.

SCHOOLS

District process

Continued from page 1

Sequoia Union High School District
placed a voter-approved $265 million
facilities bond measure on the ballot
last spring that will add six additional
classrooms to Menlo-Atherton High
School. It will also help fund building
two new small magnet schools of 300
to 400 students each, one on the
north side and one on the south side
of the district that runs from San
Carlos down to Menlo Park. The district has signed a contract for $3.4
million at 535 Old County Road,
located between Holly Street and San
Carlos Avenue near El Camino Real.
The property is currently a light warehouse
industrial
space,
said
Superintendent Jim Lianides. For the
other magnet, the district is considering another light industrial building
on a 2-acre site at 150 Jefferson
Drive, between Highway 101 and the
Bayfront Expressway in east Menlo
Park.
As part of being in contract, we are
doing due diligence on environmental
analysis and looking at impacts,
said Alan Sarver, Sequoia Union High
School District trustee. As we move
forward there will be more and more
community outreach; making sure the
physical characteristics and layouts
really work well.
The school board will hold public
hearings for each of the potential
property
acquisitions
at
its
Wednesday night meeting and the
board will vote on resolutions to
allow staff to proceed with further
investigation and acquisition of the
properties for school use.
The contract for the San Carlos
property gives the district a 60-day
due diligence period to conduct studies, Lianides previously said. The district is working with a couple of brokers who specialize in commercial
properties, he said. The district is
pretty confident it will have a new
north side magnet open by fall 2017,
said Sarver. In terms of the school in
Menlo Park, Mayor Catherine Carlton
said she has yet to have a chance to
look into the potential school site in
Menlo Park the district is in contract
for $9.3 million.

Neighbor concerns,
city involvement
Some in San Carlos have concerns
about traffic and parking with other
new developments like a new hotel
coming to nearby Industrial Road,
including Ben Fuller, president of the
Greater
East
San
Carlos

Neighborhood Association. Traffic is

already an issue in the area and 400
more students coming into the neighborhood every day will bring the road
to a standstill, he said.
On further examination, we do not
believe the site chosen by the high
school is the right location, he said.
Theres too high of an impact on the
surrounding residential neighborhood. We havent had any conversations with the school board; theres
usually community outreach and the
(school board) meeting Wednesday
seems like an afterthought.
San Carlos Councilman Mark
Olbert has even suggested the City
Council work with the district to find
a location farther east in an area thats
less congested, as he heard the district
had rejected locations in the east
because they required too high of
costs for environmental remediation
cleanup. His fellow councilmembers
were quiet about the suggestion the
city work with the district to explore
what would be involved in getting the
eastern sites cleaned up.
I intend to try and drum up some
support to try to get the district to
look at a different location, he said.
I was a little disappointed my colleagues didnt seem to want to do anything, but Im hoping a little lobbying might help.
The city of San Carlos will definitely have some involvement in the
process. In January, the San Carlos
Planning Commission will review the
districts desire to have a high school
on Old County Road. It will review if
it is in compliance with the general
plan, but that doesnt bind the district
to it, City Manager Jeff Maltbie said,
according to a video of the Monday
night City Council meeting.
In additional to public hearing
Wednesday on the property acquisitions, the district will be meeting
with Fullers group at the district
office Thursday night, Sarver said.
The district is trying to work with
the community on the new magnets,
he said.

Trustees are excited about the

potential placement of a high school
in San Carlos and noted this has been
an ongoing matter in closed session
for the school boards last several
meetings. Community input on the
magnets and potential themes is really important to the district, Sarver
said. The district just completed a
community feedback survey on items
such as what magnet themes the community would like to see as part of a
strategic planning process, said
Trustee Carrie Du Bois. Half of staff,
along with parents and students, were
surveyed.
Im hoping the discussion about
types of magnets will happen soon,
Du Bois said. We will be reviewing
that information tomorrow night. Im
really excited about the strategic
plan.
The district has plenty of time to
develop magnet themes though, said
board President Allen Weiner.
There may be some magnets for
which you really have to custom build
the facility, he said. But the first
stage will be demolition. Theres a
fair amount of time before you buy a
parcel and when you have to come up
with a theme.
One issue the district is considering
is the states Field Act that includes
restrictions for building or purchasing property for public schools within a quarter mile of hazardous air emissions facilities, within 1,500 feet of
railroad tracks or in the easement of
an aboveground or underground
pipeline that can pose a safety hazard,
within a couple miles of airport runways or within close proximity to
major roads and ensuring a safe route
to
school.
Additionally,
the
California
Department
of
Transportation considers sound at 50
decibels in the vicinity of schools to
be the point at which it will take corrective action for noise generated by
freeways.
A demographic study indicates the
district is projected to grow starting
in the 2014-15 school year, reaching
more than 10,000 students by 202021. Projections indicate that the district will reach 10,056 students by
2020-21. These projections are based
in part on partner elementary district
growth. Enrollment in the partner districts started to grow in 2006-07 from
22,893 students and reached 24,653
students in 2012-13.
The Board of Trustees meet 5:30
p.m. Wednesday night at 480 James
Ave. in Redwood City.
