Womans murder highlights realignment fears

Anti-domestic violence advocates say problem is a public responsibility
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The tragic stabbing death of a San Mateo

woman who had a violent past with her
alleged killer highlights a fear that the antidomestic violence community has long
held that the states solution to reduce
prison overcrowding may lead to lethal
consequences.
Anthony Kirincic, 22, was arrested

Community frustrated by school construction

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Dozens of disgruntled South San Francisco

residents claiming their quality of life has
been harmed by ongoing construction at a
nearby elementary school met with school
officials and builders to air their grievances.
Residents living near Buri Buri Elementary
School, 325 Del Monte Ave., expressed frustrations Monday, Nov. 30, regarding dirt
spread throughout their neighborhood by the
construction, as well as large trucks constantly zipping through the streets in front of their
homes and traffic congestion caused by the
ongoing work at the school, among other
concerns.
The meeting, which featured occasional
moments of tension and flared tempers,
granted the community an opportunity to
speak directly with school officials, who
some residents complained have been inaccessible in the past.
In the face of the criticism before them,
school officials and representatives from USS
Cal Builders, the company hired to coordinate
the construction, tried to assure residents
their frustrations did not fall on deaf ears.
We see, we hear your issues, said Patrick
Lucy, a member of the South San Francisco
School District Board of Trustees, to the
crowd assembled in the elementary schools
multi-purpose room.
But that message may have not resonated
with all the frustrated members of the community, who periodically shouted to interrupt a
presentation
by
district
Assistant
Superintendent Michael Krause.
Conflict between officials and the crowd
came to a head when Krause directed police to
escort a resident out of the meeting for what
he perceived as a rude interjection during his
slide presentation summarizing answers of
frequently asked questions regarding the construction process.
District Superintendent Shawnterra Moore
quickly intervened and encouraged Krause to
back down off his demand, to which he

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
adhered, under the agreement no further interruptions would be tolerated.
Residents held the feet of not only school
officials to the fire, but builders as well,
expressing frustrations regarding how heavy
construction has spread dirt and grime
throughout the neighborhood, and also
potentially damaged nearby homes and
streets.
Mark Schwery, a neighborhood resident,
claimed he has seen a steady stream of large
trucks hauling loads of uncovered dirt from
the construction, which he alleged coated
nearby homes in a layer of dirt.
Rudy Sultan, a project manager with USS
Cal Builders, said all truck drivers have been
instructed to cover any loads of dirt shipped
from the school, which should reduce the
amount of dust spread throughout the neighborhood.
But in an effort to appease those who
remain frustrated, Sultan said he will offer
home exterior cleaning vouchers to those
who live nearby once the construction is
done.
If I have to send a cleaning crew out to your
house, Ill do that, said Sultan.
Krause said he and Moore also distributed
vouchers for car washes to homeowners
throughout the neighborhood, but some who
received the free cleaning passes claimed they
were not redeemable at the gas station where
they were purchased from in San Bruno.
Furthering the concerns of nearby residents
are drivers who disobey the rules of the road
when dropping off students at the school,
snarling traffic throughout the neighborhood.
Krause said the city does not have jurisdiction to control traffic flow on city streets, but
crossing guards have been hired to try to
maintain the safety of students.

Lt. John Kallas of the South San Francisco

Police Department encouraged concerned residents who witness reckless driving in front
of the school to call law enforcement immediately.
He said police have focused on traffic regulation, but there are not enough officers to
have one constantly posted in front of the
campus.
We are out here as much as we can be, but
probably not as much as people would like,
Kallas said.
Scott Wald, who lives directly adjacent to
the school, said he believes the best effort of
school and city officials, as well as builders,
has missed the mark in an attempt to improve
the quality of life for residents near the
school.
It has not been effective to date, he said.
Wald has threatened a lawsuit against the
school district for damage his home has suffered, which he attributes to the constant
heavy construction at the campus.
School building at Buri Buri Elementary
School, which is expected to finish in the
summer or fall of 2016, is financed under
Measure J, the districts $162 million bond
approved by voters in 2010.
The Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, a
group of community members charged with
analyzing the way the tax money is being
spent, has questioned whether there is enough
money left in district coffers to finish the rest
of the construction.
The concerns were raised in the wake of an
independent audit which found district officials had overspent the bond fund by roughly
$11 million, causing officials to backfill the
void with money from the district general
fund.
Despite the variety of issues which have
plagued the bond generally, and the project at
Buri Buri Elementary School specifically,
Sultan encouraged neighborhood residents to
maintain their patience with the construction
process as best they can.
We appreciate your concerns, but we have
to work together, he said.

Former airline revenue

analyst pleads no contest
to embezzling over $200K
A former revenue analyst for Virgin America at San
Francisco International Airport pleaded no contest to
embezzlement Monday for stealing more than $200,000
from the company in 2012 and 2013, prosecutors said
Tuesday.
DeSonia Crossley, 43, of Pacifica, worked for the airline
starting in December 2010. In August 2013, Crossley went
on vacation and another analyst for Virgin America noticed
numerous refunds were made to the same credit card, according to the San Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
A company audit determined she had taken $224,750
through 108 fraudulent refunds between July 2012 and
September 2013, prosecutors said.
Crossley was charged with embezzling more than
$200,000 and entered the no contest plea Monday in
exchange for a sentence of no more than a year in county
jail, prosecutors said. She is scheduled to be sentenced on
March 4.

Sheriffs Office releases
videos of residential burglary
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Office released videos of
three suspects in a residential robbery in Palomar Park in
unincorporated Redwood City Friday.
The videos show the suspects, two females and a male,
and a dark colored 2015 Toyota Yaris four-door hatchback.
The suspects parked the car in front of the garage at the
residence in the 600 block of Palomar Drive around 2:11
p.m., the Sheriffs Office said.
One of the suspects forced entry into the garage through a
locked side door and the three suspects stole several items
of U.S. mail. They did not enter the main house which was
secured, the Sheriffs Office said.
The suspects then fled in the vehicle in an unknown direction after they searched the garage.
The homeowners were away at the time and discovered the
damage when they returned, the Sheriffs Office said. They
homeowners reviewed the home surveillance video and
reported the burglary the next day.
The victims gave the video to the Sheriffs Office, and
investigators are asking for help identifying the suspects.
Sheriffs detective Salvador Zuno said the burglary is
believed to be an isolated incident, but residents should be
aware of any suspicious persons or vehicles in their neighborhood.
Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to
call sheriffs detective Andy Armando at (650) 363-4357 or

Woman pleads no
contest to embezzling
up to $24K for food, diapers
A former office manager for a South San Francisco restaurant supply company pleaded no contest Monday to grand
theft by an employee for making unauthorized company
credit card charges of up to $24,000, prosecutors said
Tuesday.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

After she was fired and confronted by police, 35-year-old
Katrina Dayrit told investigators she had used the credit card
to purchase food, diapers and to pay her bills during a period of financial trouble, prosecutors said.
Dayrit worked for the United Brands restaurant supply
company between July and November 2013. During that
time she had access to a corporate credit card for authorized
company purchases, prosecutors said.
But a company vice president found she had made 40-50
unauthorized charges over a four-month period of between
$16,000 and $24,000, prosecutors said. Dayrit said they
had been authorized but could not back up her claim with
receipts.
She was fired and police confronted her at her home,
where she admitted the fraudulent purchases but said she was
using them to buy necessities and pay her bills, according
to prosecutors.
Dayrit entered the no contest plea Monday on condition
she receive a sentence of no more than 8 months in jail. Her
jail sentence could be reduced depending on how much restitution she pays by the time she is sentenced on Feb. 26,
prosecutors said.
Dayrit remains out of custody on $50,000 bail.

State misses October water saving target

By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Californians posted a 22

percent savings in water use in
October, marking the first month residents have missed the states mandatory 25 percent conservation target
since enforcement of the cutbacks
began in June, officials said Tuesday in
Sacramento.
Regulators anticipated the dip
because temperatures during the month
were seven degrees above the same
period two years ago, driving up the
watering of yards.
In the months ahead, options for
saving water could be harder to find
now that the state has entered cooler
months when people dont water their
yards as much.
Forecasters also predict the coming
of an El Nio condition that could
drench the state and perhaps make people feel strict conservation isnt necessary.
Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the

Jerry Brown

State
Water
Resource Control
Board, warned that
its not time to ease
conservation
efforts.
We cant know
when the drought
will end, she said.
We have to keep
saving every drop

we can.
Marcus stressed that California is
meeting its long-term water conservation target. For the five months since
the mandate cutbacks went into effect,
residents have saved an average of 27
percent a month. In addition,
California has already reached 76 percent of its conservation goal for the
period set to end in February.
The water saved so far is enough to
last 4.6 million residents the combined population of San Diego and
Sacramento counties for a year, said
Katheryn Landau, an environmental
scientist for the state water board.
The mandate to conserve came as

California experiences its driest fouryear span on record. Gov. Jerry Brown
called for the 25 percent reduction
compared to the same period of 2013,
the year before he declared a drought
emergency.
In September, state officials for the
first time fined four water suppliers for
failing to meet their individual conservation targets. Beverly Hills, Indio,
Redlands and the Coachella Valley
Water District were each fined
$61,000. Continued violations could
lead to a cease-and-desist order with
potential fines of $10,000 a day.
Brown, uncertain if drought-busting
storms are coming this winter, recently extended his executive order preparing the state for a fifth year of drought.
It allows emergency conservation to
continue through October 2016 if dry
conditions persist this January.
He took the action despite forecasters predicting the strong El Nio, an
ocean-warming phenomenon that can
change weather patterns globally and
increase chances of heavy rain and
snow pelting California.

Chicago mayor fires police chief in wake of video release

By Don Babwin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel sought

for months to keep the public from
seeing a video that shows a white
police officer shooting a black teenager 16 times.
Now, a week after the videos release,
the Chicago mayor has fired the police
superintendent, created a task force for
police accountability and expanded the
use of body cameras.
But Emanuels effort to keep the
video secret and his long wait to take
action at the police department has
stirred deep skepticism among those
protesting the teens death. Many

activists are especially incensed by

the fact that the
video first surfaced
during a re-election
campaign, when the
mayor was seeking
Afri can -Ameri can

in an April runoff.
But Emanuel had angered black voters with his decision to close dozens of
schools. And many African-Americans
complained that the city was not doing
enough to police the predominantly
black West and South Sides.
Had it emerged earlier, the video
could have buried Emanuels chances
for re-election, Columbia Law School
professor Bernard E. Harcourt wrote in
a New York Times op-ed piece published Monday.
The mayor defended the decision to
withhold the video from the public
until the investigation was finished
and the officer charged with murder. He
said the move had nothing to do with
his 2015 campaign.

WASHINGTON The man accused of killing three people

at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic brought several
guns, ammunition and propane tanks
that officials say he assembled around a
car.
For hours, he holed up inside the clinic, unleashing a fusillade that wounded
nine others and sent shoppers scattering
inside surrounding buildings during a
standoff with police.
To some in the community, the attack
resembled
an act of domestic terrorism,
Robert Dear
sparking a debate over what to call
Robert Lewis Dears rampage even before he was taken into
custody.
But the legal system may not resolve that question.
Dear faces state charges of first-degree murder, and the federal criminal code has no specific, catchall charge for acts of
domestic terrorism. That means federal prosecutors pursuing
charges for ideologically motivated violence often turn to
other statutes such as those for firearms, explosives, hate
crimes or murder to cover offenses that could arguably be
labeled as terror. The punishment may be the same, but generally without the branding more typically associated with
international terrorism.

Fresno Democrat Perea

resigns from California Assembly
SACRAMENTO Assemblyman Henry Perea of Fresno,
who has led a group of moderate Democrats in the state
Legislature this year, announced Tuesday
he is resigning to pursue another job,
likely in the private sector.
Perea, who was elected to the state
Assembly in 2010 and has a year remaining in his current term, made the
announcement in a news release, saying
he was pursuing other opportunities that
he did not specify.
I am currently exploring these
Henry Perea
options and I expect to make a decision
soon, he said in a statement. His resignation is effective
Dec. 31.
A spokeswoman for Perea, Minnie Santillan, did not
immediately respond to a telephone message seeking more
details.
Pereas district is dominated by oil and agriculture interests and Perea led a group of business-friendly Democrats
this year in opposing Gov. Jerry Browns proposed mandate
to cut the states oil consumption in half within 15 years.
The so-called mod squad prevailed, and the Legislature
passed the climate legislation after the provision was
removed.

Group funded by Coke to fight obesity disbanding

NEW YORK A nonprofit funded by the Coca-Cola Co. to
combat obesity is disbanding following revelations about
the beverage makers involvement with the group.
The Global Energy Balance Network said on its website
Monday night that it is discontinuing operations due to
resource limitations. The decision was effective immediately.
The group had previously said that it received an unrestricted gift from Coke and that the Atlanta-based soft drink
giant had no input into its activities.
But last week, the Associated Press reported on emails
showing that Coke helped with the selection of the
groups leaders, edited its mission statement and suggested content for its website. When contacted about the
exchanges, Coke CEO Muhtar Kent said in a statement
there wasnt enough transparency regarding the companys involvement.
Coke also told the AP that it accepted the retirement of
Rhona Applebaum, its chief health and science officer who
initially managed the relationship with the group.

U.S. sending new

special ops force to
fight Islamic State
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. military will deploy a new special

operations force to Iraq to step up
the fight against Islamic State militants who are unleashing violence
and are determined to hold territory
they have seized in Iraq and Syria,
Defense Secretary Ash Carter told
Congress on Tuesday.
The introduction of the assault
force puts U.S. combat troops on
the ground in a more permanent
role in Iraq and Syria for the first
time in the year-plus fight against
IS. It comes as Republicans have
called for more U.S. boots on the
ground,
while
war-weary
Americans stand divided about the
prospect of greater military
involvement.
Carter, who testified alongside
Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, faced
skeptical lawmakers who argued
that the U.S. needs to be more
forceful in countering the threat
from IS, credited with attacks in
Paris and Beirut and the downing
of a Russian airliner.
Carter told the House Armed
Services Committee that over
time, the special operations force
will be able to conduct raids, free
hostages, gather intelligence and
capture IS leaders. Carter said that

will improve intelligence and generate more targets for attacks.

There currently are about 3,300
U.S. troops in Iraq, and President
Barack Obama had previously
announced he was sending fewer
than 50 special operations forces
to Syria.
Carter said the number in the new
expeditionary force will be larger than 50. He said it will be a
standing force, meaning it will
be stationed in Iraq. He said it
would focus on helping Iraq defend
its borders and build its security
forces, but also would be in position to conduct unilateral operations into Syria.
This is an important capability
because it takes advantage of what
were good at, Carter said. Were
good at intelligence, were good at
mobility, were good at surprise.
We have the long reach that no one
else has. And it puts everybody on
notice in Syria. You dont know at
night whos going to be coming in
the window. And thats the sensation that we want all of ISILs leadership and followers to have.
According to a U.S. official, the
force could total up to a couple
hundred troops, including the
assault teams, aviation units and
other support units. It would likely
be based in Irbil. The official
spoke on condition of anonymity
because the individual was not

authorized to publicly discuss military planning.
Obama has set the maximum
number of U.S. troops at 3,550,
but it was not clear whether the
president will increase that number
to accommodate the force, or
whether the teams would have to
be built within the current limit.
Polling after the attacks in Paris
and Beirut found Americans divided
over sending U.S. ground troops
to fight IS. A Gallup survey said 47
percent of Americans favored sending more ground troops to Iraq and
Syria and 46 percent were
opposed.

Republican Sen. John McCain

called the move a belated step forward in the fight against IS.
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy
warned that the slow buildup of
U.S. combat soldiers inside Syria
and Iraq risks repeating the mistake of the Iraq War - believing that
extremism can be defeated by U.S.
troops absent local political and
military capacity.
Carter said the force might be
American-only, but more likely
would be mixed with Kurdish
troops or others who are fighting
the militants. He said the new
force would conduct operations

similar to two conducted earlier

this year.
In October, U.S. special operations troops and Iraqi forces raided
a compound in northern Iraq, freeing about 70 Iraqi prisoners who
were facing execution. One U.S.
service member was killed in the
raid, the first American combat
death in Iraq since the U.S. began
its campaign against IS in August
2014.
In May, a Delta Force raid in
Syria killed IS financier Abu
Sayyaf, yielding intelligence
about the groups structure and
finances.

German Cabinet OKs military

mission against Islamic State
By Geir Moulson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN The German Cabinet approved

plans Tuesday to commit up to 1,200 soldiers to support the international coalition
fighting the Islamic State group in Syria.
The mandate still requires parliamentary
clearance but Chancellor Angela Merkels
governing coalition has a huge majority and
its approval looks assured. Senior lawmakers from her conservative bloc expected a
vote on Friday.
Following the Paris attacks, Merkel
agreed to honor a request from France to provide support for its operations against IS in
Syria.
Germany plans to send up to six Tornado
reconnaissance planes, tanker aircraft and a
frigate to help protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the eastern
Mediterranean, but wont actively engage in
combat.

him, would help cleanse him of his sin.

32-year-old Hawas Mallah replied helplessly.
The second man, 21-year-old Mohammed

Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier
told the daily Bild he doesnt expect
Germany to have 1,200 soldiers participating at any one time. He said that upper limit
includes a significant safety buffer.

of its most brutal for suspected homosexuals.

Iraqi forces surround Ramadi, but it could be a long siege

By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD After months of sluggish

progress, stalled advances and outright failures, Iraqi troops and militias backed by U.S.led airstrikes have surrounded the key city of
Ramadi and appear poised to launch a new
attempt to wrest it from the Islamic State
group.
The battle that is shaping up threatens to
turn into a drawn-out siege, with thousands of
residents caught in the middle as the forces try
to wear down the militants since they took
over the capital of western Anbar province in
May. Western officials and analysts warned
that the strategy of a methodical, slow siege
could make the fight even more difficult.
On Monday, the Iraqi military dropped
leaflets into the city, telling the remaining
residents estimated at anywhere from
4,000 to 10,000 to leave, the strongest
signal yet that an assault is imminent.
But residents told the Associated Press on
Tuesday that the militants have clamped
down, setting up checkpoints across the city
to monitor civilians movements and prevent

anyone from going.

Loudspeakers from mosques give warnings that civilians are not allowed to leave,
and anyone who tries to do so will be either
arrested or killed, one resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear for his
safety.
Ramadi, like the rest of Anbar province, is
overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim, the minority
community that complains of discrimination
by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
Some Sunnis in other parts of Anbar and in
northern Iraq welcomed IS rule, at least initially.
Resentment of the extremists has been
stronger in Ramadi, but some residents worry
about the cost of dislodging the Islamic State,
also known as ISIS, ISIL and its Arabic
acronym, Daesh.
Of course we want this to end, another
resident said, referring to IS rule and the government siege. But he said he also fears
increased airstrikes and clashes, with him and
his family unable to escape.

Voters wonder if Cruz can

heal Washingtons division
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLINTON, Iowa Iowa Republican

Sharon Gilbert thinks her party veered off
course in the past two presidential elections
by nominating candidates who were too
moderate.
This time around, the 73-year-old Gilbert
wants to send a staunch conservative into
the general election, and she thinks Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz might be that candidate. But
she also has a nagging feeling that Cruzs
hard-line views and combative style might
keep him from getting anything done in
Washington, a city where hes frustrated
his own partys congressional leaders as
much as if not more than the
Democrats.
I know hes very far to the right, but I
hope that he could work with both sides,
says Gilbert, who attended a town hall event
with Cruz in her hometown of Clinton. We
dont know that now because hes been
against Washington.
Its a central question of Cruzs campaign
as he gains momentum in the Republican

primary: Can the uncompromising conservative unite a polarized nation and work
with what hes derisively called
Washingtons cartel of career politicians,
lobbyists and special interests?
Asked by a voter this week how hed persuade Washington to follow his lead, Cruz
said he planned to remake the way the
nations capital works instead of trying to
succeed within the current system.
You do it with the power of the people,
he told the crowd gathered in a cavernous
packaging factory in Clinton. He compared
his campaign to a grass-roots tidal wave
and said hed emerge from the general election with a mandate from the people.
Cruz says his approach is modeled after
Republican hero Ronald Reagans after the
1980 election. Yet his remarks are laced
with echoes of President Barack Obama,
one of the senators most frequent foils on
the campaign trail.
Obama campaigned in 2008 on a pledge
to bring change to Washington, propelled
by a grass-roots campaign and the power of
millions of Americans. But the presidents
term has been marred by near-constant con-

frontation with Republicans on both
domestic and foreign policy, a government
shutdown and numerous other fights that
put the nation at the brink of default or
interruptions in federal services.
Some Iowa Republicans wonder if Cruz
who like Obama is running for president

midway through his first term in the Senate

could do much better.
Im not completely sold on him as somebody who can unify this country, said Ron
Mann, a 65-year-old Republican from
Bettendorf who attended a jam-packed town
hall with Cruz Monday evening.

Bush spends millions on TV but has yet to rise in GOP race

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBUQUE, Iowa Jeb Bush and his

allies are spending circles around his rivals
for the Republican presidential nomination. Yet for all the money theyve invested
$26 million on television ads alone
theyve yet to see a substantial return.
Having fallen from summer front-runner
to autumn afterthought, the former Florida
governor made deep spending cuts to his
campaign operation in October. But he and
his backers plowed ahead with a television

blitz three times the size

of anyone elses, while
putting a new strategic
focus
on
New
Hampshire.
Some Bush allies suggested those efforts had
to pay off with improved
numbers in preference
polls in November. Yet
Jeb Bush
as December begins,
Bush remains mired in single digits
including in New Hampshire in a race

that continues to be dominated by political

novices, most notably billionaire real
estate mogul Donald Trump.
Bushs most loyal supporters argue the
advertising, mostly financed by an outside
group known as a super PAC, has paid off by
helping stabilize a campaign that was losing ground. The brother and son of former
presidents is showcasing new endorsements, and his team continues to raise a
steady stream of money.
In November, Bushs campaign collected
at least $1 million, a tally by the
Associated Press found. Top donors will

head to Miami on Saturday for a campaign

update, and ahead of that gathering Bush
strategists are circulating a list of 300 contributors as a show of his staying power.
But those same backers are also starting
to acknowledge that time is growing short,
with the leadoff Iowa caucuses now just two
months away.
Weve got to do better than expected in
those first three states of Iowa, New
Hampshire and South Carolina, said Barry
Wynn, one of Bushs biggest South
Carolina supporters and a member of his
national finance team.

Achievement gaps

Letters to the editor

Ian Bain should
be Redwood City mayor

San Mateo Ice

Rink, Bridgepointe

Editor,
On Election Day, the voters of
Redwood City showed their support for
changing the way the City Council
does business. We not only have two
new councilmembers, but the support
for Ian Bain with the most votes shows
that the people believe in him and
respect him. Ian has been on the City
Council for 13 years. He has the most
seniority and experience and has
always been overlooked for mayor. The
councilmembers vote amongst themselves for mayor. If the council chooses not to elect Ian mayor, then the
councilmembers are out of touch with
what the voters want. In Ians last
term, he deserves to be mayor. Maybe
it is time for the Redwood City voters
to choose their own mayor.

Editor,
Its time, as concerned citizens, that
we hold our elected city councilmembers to their promises. I attended candidate meetings where candidates promised they would put a pause on development in Redwood City until they could
look into the total effects of the present development. It was said that this
project was to be developed over 20
years, not all at once. The city of
Redwood City had a 20-year plan for
development that was meant to allow
slow development so we could keep an
eye on how its affecting the city. If
the sudden overdevelopment of
Redwood City offends you, if you
think Redwood City is changing for
the worse, call your members of the
City Council, write letters, do anything but just let it happen. Remember
why you came to Redwood City,
remember what you loved about living
in Redwood City and do something
about it before its too late.

Editor,
Recreation, fundamental to human
life, has different forms shaped naturally by individual interests, but also
by the surrounding social construction. Indoor or outdoor examples;
reading, music, movies, TV, gardening, hiking, hobbies, sports, travel
and imagine this, ice skating.
Public space/parksare needed for
recreational activities within a community. However, in San Mateo,
parks seem the onlyvenue for recreation. City Hall, since promoting the
wonderments of the Bay Meadows
development, dening it as world
class transit-oriented development
wants San Mateo to be the preeminent city between San Francisco and
San Jose.
Statistics show that visitors are
specically attracted by recreational
offerings. To support recreation, governments take active roles in their
creation, maintenance and organization. Again however, history proves
San Mateo government prefers tearing down recreational venues.
The need for recreation is an essential element of human biology and
psychology. Recreational activities
create enjoyment, amusement, pleasure, exercise and fun.
There is not a lot of fun left in our
supposed world-class, preeminent
city of San Mateo.
The termrecreationwas rst used in
the late 14th century, in the sense of
refreshment, or curing of a sick person and derived from Latin (to create, bring forth, beget).
Lets hope the planning department, planning commissioners and
City Council will see the value of a
community cure for oppression from
overdevelopment, excessive retail,
trafc and overall congestion, and
actually hear our citizenry and
beget them with the continuance of
the Bridgepointe Ice Rink. The public
hearing is 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at City
Hall. Please come and support.

Save the Bridgepointe ice rink

Editor,
President Obama promised
Americans that the Islamic State was
contained. Twenty-four hours later in
Paris, we witnessed a massacre. One
simple question: Why should we
believe what this president ever proclaims?

Editor,
Its been two and a half years since
the Bridgepointe ice rink was closed,
and its fate is about to be decided.
When Bridgepoint Shopping Center
was built, this rink was the community benet and was in effect the recreational park for the public. The developer SPI Holdings knew this when
they bought the property. They are
seeking a change in the current land
use from ice rink to retail use.

The value of the land will increase

greatly if the San Mateo City Council
approves this zoning request. Weve
worked very hard to get the word out
that despite the developers removal
of the rink sign from the building,
the city can deny the zoning request
and keep the rink for the community.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, former councilmembers Claire Mack and Sue
Lempert all voted in the late 90s to
keep this rink for the community.
The paper reported this weekend
that Black Friday sales are down over
a billion dollars. People are shopping online instead. Adding more
stores to Bridgepointe will not
reverse this trend. Meanwhile, this
rink serves everyone in the community. The current City Council should
listen to their constituents. Everyone
weve talked to in and around San
Mateo wants the rink to stay. It is
very likely that if the council gives
the zoning request to the developer,
there will never be a full-size rink in
San Mateo. The developer will prot
handsomely from the zoning change
and the entire community loses. San
Mateo doesnt need another 7-Eleven.
San Mateo City Council: Do the right
thing. Represent your community and
keep the rink at Bridgepointe for your

Selling off our common areas

Editor,
The things we own together are
known as the commons. Bit by bit,
these public benets are being taken
over, and this has a negative effect on
the common people of our nation.
They have sold off our post ofce
and charge us admission to visit our
parks and museums, and now they
want to charge us to drive on our
FREEway.
The facts underneath all these austerity cuts in our public services are
the same. The rich dont pay a fair
share of taxes and the illegal, undeclared and criminal wars go on and on
and on. There is no end in sight.
Election time is coming up and we
need to take a close look at the voting records of our elected ofcials.
Please dont vote in one or the other
of the two corporately funded political parties. Vote for people that
promise to vote as directed by their
constituents and not take the donations (bribes) from the greedy few.
Hopefully, some better people will
step forward and run to replace the
corrupt.

was educated once and it took me years to get over

There have been many articles in various newspapers
recently about the state of our schools. Problems abound.
For instance, Sept. 10 in the Chronicle: Scores on new test
show state faces big challenge. The chief concern is the
widening of the achievement gap. ... African-American and
Latino students fell further behind their white and Asian
peers, and low income students and English learners ranked
far lower than the rest of the test-taking population.
In our Daily Journal on Oct. 16 Ofcials looking to
bridge student achievement gap. The superintendent of the
Ravenswood Elementary School District in East Palo Alto is
quoted: Theres only so much of a safety net. There are very
deep social issues that need to be addressed. Also she said
that though the school system can help provide relief to
families and students,
greater assistance is
required.
White House seeks limit
to school testing.
Chronicle, Oct. 25. The
Obama administration
declared that the push for
high-stakes testing in the
nations public schools had
gone too far and urged
schools to step back and
make exams less onerous
and more purposeful.
San Mateo County Times,
Oct. 28: California students continue to perform
near the bottom of the nation in reading and math, state test
results show just 27 percent to 29 percent of California
students were rated procient in the two subjects.
In the Chronicle of Nov. 12: Parents urge restoration of
gifted programs. Dozens of unhappy parents lined up at
this weeks school board meeting to demand the district
restores programs and courses for gifted and high-achieving
students. Parents feel the district is dumbing down instruction and ignoring or holding back smart students to focus
on the needs of those at the bottom end of the achievement
gap.
Seems that educators have been bemoaning the fact that
for a long time our schools have not produced the results
they expect no matter what standard is implemented
whether No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top or Common
Core. Then I came across a column in the Sept. 13 Times by
Esther J. Cepeda which sums up the reason that so many of
these problems exist. Too often thats because underlying
problems arent adequately addressed, like a language barrier, poverty, lack of sleep, lack of adequate parenting, inadequate nourishment, severe stress in the home, etc.
Ms. Cepeda refers to Robert D. Putnams latest book, Our
Kids: the American Dream in Crisis (a book every parent

before him, Putnam puts a heavy emphasis on the stark contrasts between children growing up in cohesive, resourcerich families and those from chaotic, broken homes with little access to even basic necessities. She cautions blaming
the schools for the wide disparity in accomplishment in education. Out-of-school factors such as family structure, economic insecurity, parental engagement and even the amount
of TV watching have a much higher effect on test scores and
cognitive and other socioeconomic outcomes than the
schools students attend.
That said, in relation to programs for the gifted, children
need to be given the opportunity to make the most of their
abilities and talents. Those at the top of the ladder will ultimately be in charge of making the world a better place. The
idea that giving the more able kids the opportunity to excel
is tracking and discriminatory is merely self-serving.
Children who have problems learning because of any number of reasons need special attention, of course, but they
usually get much more attention in most public schools
than the bright, motivated students who, if they are given
the opportunity, will have a great deal to contribute to society.
In todays culture, our schools have a tough, often thankless, task when so much is going against them. Consider
the diminishing middle class, more single-parent families,
more needy immigrants among us, more children living in
highly stressful conditions, so many of the top 1 percent
unwilling to contribute to alleviating the problem, the
many years of over-emphasizing testing. The American
dream is falling by the wayside.
Not until we take the needs of our children seriously by,
yes, talking, singing and reading to the little ones, funding
schools adequately, giving good teachers the status they
deserve, valuing our children as precious natural (and
national) resources, will those all-important test scores
even come close to delivering what is necessary to close the
gap.
Research has shown that the foundations of both mathematic and verbal skills are acquired in the earliest years more
effectively through informal interaction with adults than
with formal training. Putnam.

M-A dominates Monte Vista in Nor Cal volleyball final

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

DANVILLE A year ago, the MenloAtherton girls volleyball team held a 2-1
lead over Pitman-Turlock in the Northern
California Division I title match, only to see
Pitman rally to advance to the state championship.
The Bears were determined not to let that
happen again.
Tuesday, the third-seeded Bears traveled to
the East Bay to take on top-seeded Monte
Vista in the 2015 Nor Cal championship

match. They put together

arguably their best performance of the season as
they swept the Mustangs
25-23, 25-17, 25-18 to

DiSanto said . Last year it was really sad to
lose to Pitman.
DiSanto was a major reason M-A (27-7) got
past Monte Vista (34-6). The 5-6 opposite hitter did it all in the victory. She finished with a
team-high 15 kills to go along with 14 digs.
She kicks butt, said Leanna Collins, MAs other opposite hitter who finished with
14 kills. All around it was probably some
of her best (play this season).
DiSanto and Collins werent the only two
to have great matches. Setter Kirby Knapp

finished with 46 assists and wasnt called for

a set violation all match long. Defensive specialist Alexa Roumeliotis was a whirling
dervish, digging up 31 balls.
Collins admitted the team was nervous as it
took the court in front of a raucous Monte
Vista crowd for Game 1 which turned out to
be the best of the three games. Both teams
came out flying to start the match, with both
playing high-level volleyball. There were 20
ties and nine lead changes, with the largest
deficit for either being a paltry two points.

There were a combined 20 penalties in the game.

this is what we came [here] for,
Anderson said.
Said DiSanto: We werent doing
anything wrong. We needed to
regroup.
Regroup the Bears did. M-A won
nine of the next 13 points to tie the
game at 10 and you could see on the
faces of the Monte Vista players
they were worried. It showed in
their play as four of M-As points
during that run came from Mustang
errors.

Continued from page 12

An M-A serve into the net tied
the game at 20, followed by an ace
from Monte Vistas Maclaine
Fields to put the Mustangs up 2120. But the Bears tied it on a
Collins kill, followed by a
Mustangs hitting error. Monte
Vista tied it at 22, but DiSanto,
using some major top spin, got a
kill for a 23-22 lead. The
Mustangs tied it again at 23, but a
kill from Eliza Grover and one
from Courtney Foliaki gave the
Bears Game 1.
Monte Vista came out in Game 2

points before M-As first-year coach
Fletcher Anderson called timeout.

field, and we have to deal with it.

Whatever.
And on Oct. 12, side judge Rob
Vernatchi from Morellis crew was
suspended for one game for not
properly keeping track of the game
clock in a Pittsburgh-San Diego
game. At the time, the league said
the error would impact the full-seaPete Morelli son evaluation of Morellis crew.
Morelli was also the referee during last seasons Lions-Cowboys playoff game where a
crucial pass interference penalty was overturned.
The Lions punted after the sequence, and the
Cowboys drove to the winning touchdown late in the
fourth quarter.
After the game, Morelli acknowledged he should
have waited longer to announce the penalty. He also
announced that there was no penalty, but never
explained why the flag was picked up.
Morelli says it probably would have been smoother
if we got together.
There have been other controversies involving officiating this season.
On Oct. 5, back judge Greg Wilson missed an endzone penalty in the final moments of Detroits loss at
Seattle. Wilson was reassigned from his next game,
taken off the prime-time matchup of Patriots-Colts.

And the Bears didnt stop once

they tied it. Leading 15-14, M-A
won 11 of the final 14 points to win
the second game 25-17.
The Mustangs frustrations were
palpable during that second game.
With M-A leading 18-15, DiSanto
went up for attack, only to see
Monte Vistas Emma Sullivan dig it
up. But no Mustang player went to
set the ball and it fell harmlessly to
the floor. Sullivan chastised her
team as they came together for the
post-point huddle, before Monte
Vista coach J.J. Utchen called a
timeout and made her team run a
couple of line drills before huddling
up.
That didnt fire up the Mustangs
either.
With their confidence soaring,
M-A went out in Game 3 to finish
the job, while the Mustangs continued to self-destruct. Three times
the Mustangs were whistled for

rotation violations, while the

Bears kept swinging away. Kills
from DiSanto and Lauren Heller
gave the Bears a quick 2-0 lead in
Game 3, but a pair of kills by the
Mustangs, along with a M-A error
gave Monte Vista a 3-2 lead.
It would be the Mustangs only
lead in the final game.
Three straight Monte Vista errors
a net violation, a hitting error
and a rotation violation gave MA a 5-3 advantage. Later in the set,
the Mustangs closed to 14-12, but
would get no closer. Collins had a
pair of kills down the stretch,
Grover and Foliaki each had a roof
kill, while Kiana Sales had a service
ace and closed out the win with a
back-row kill.
I couldnt be prouder (of the
girls), Anderson said. Theyre
playing their best volleyball (right
now). Thats what weve been asking for.

if there has been little to enjoy while
watching Bryant and the hapless Lakers
this year.
Theres nothing I would love more
than to be able to play this entire
season, to go through all of these
tough times, to be able to suit up and
play on the road in these buildings
for the last time, Bryant said.
For Manning, there will be no sentimental swing around the league.
There rarely is in the NFL, where
youre only judged on your last game
and theres always someone waiting
in line to take your place.
Two iconic players. Two very different sports.
A season that began with some
promise for Manning went south
quickly when he was sidelined with a
partially torn tendon in his foot. Its
the kind of thing that happens to an
aging player, and there were already
plenty of indications Manning was
nearing the end before he was unceremoniously ushered to the sidelines to
cheer his teammates on.
It got worse Sunday night as he
watched in the snow when Brock
Osweiler led the kind of comeback the
Broncos were used to getting from
Manning. It came against the undefeated Patriots in prime time on NBC, and it
may have sealed Mannings fate.
Nothing personal, just the way the
NFL does business. One day youre
breaking the NFLs all-time passing
record, the next youre wondering if you
still have a job.
Tom Brady seemed to sense that
when he met Manning at midfield
before Sundays game to exchange
pleasantries. Instead of the customary handshake, though, Brady

Wallace helps Cal hold off pesky Seattle 66-52

hugged his longtime rival.

Mannings victory lap will likely be
from the bench. Theres no public outcry from the Broncos faithful for him to
return, and the offense favored by new
coach Gary Kubiak doesnt suit his
pass-happy talents.
If this is the end for Manning, hell
leave a conflicted legacy. Yes, hes the
most prolific passer of all time, but
with just one Super Bowl title in 18
years he doesnt even own the most
rings in his family.
Manning is a certain Hall of Famer,
but when talk begins about the all-time
greats it starts with quarterbacks like
Joe Montana and Brady. They have four
Super Bowl wins apiece, while
Manning is 1-2 in the big game, including a blowout loss to Seattle two years
ago where he wasnt even a factor.
Its similar in a way for Bryant, even
though his five NBA titles elevate him
to at least being in the conversation
among the top 10 NBA players ever. He
will come up just short in his chase of
his role model Michael Jordan, while
Magic Johnson and Kareem AbdulJabbar will likely be rated above him
by most as the greatest Lakers ever.
Still, Bryant leaves a legacy of sorts
for his incessant work and the way he
played with a chip on his shoulder up
until the end. He also served as a role
model of his own for countless other
aspiring NBA players, including
LeBron James.
I wanted to be just like him, man,
James said Tuesday.
Both Bryant and Manning had great
careers, yet both wanted more. They
desperately chased it even as the years
began to run out and their bodies began
letting them down.
In the end they, like so many
before them, couldnt find a way to
beat Father Time.

BERKELEY Tyrone Wallace scored 14 of his 17 points in

the second half and Cal shook off a sloppy start to beat Seattle
66-52 Tuesday night. Trailing 44-41 with nine minutes left,
Wallace started a 12-0 run with a thunderous dunk following a
steal by Ivan Rabb and later added a pair of fast-break layups.
Jordan Mathews 3-point play extended Cals lead to 51-44
before Wallace added two more free throws and another layup.
Jayley Brown added 11 points and seven rebounds while
Mathews had 12 points for the Golden Bears (5-2), who
bounced back after falling out of the Top 25 following back-toback losses to San Diego State and Richmond last week.

Tiger has no timetable

on healing or playing

Justin Maxwell signs with Fish

By Doug Ferguson

The 32-year-old hit .209 with seven

homers and 26 RBIs this year in 249
at-bats with San Francisco. He has a
.220 average, 41 homers and 133 RBIs
in seven major league seasons.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASSAU, Bahamas Tiger Woods painted a bleak picture

Tuesday on when he can return to golf or even get back to
doing anything more than just walking.
Woods had two back surgeries in a span of 18 months followed by what he described only as
another procedure in the same area last
month. He has not started rehabilitation
and does not know when his back will
allow for that.
The hardest part for me is theres really nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build toward, Woods said. Its
just taking it literally just day by day and
week by week and time by time.
Tiger Woods
Woods is at the Hero World Challenge
as the tournament host, not one of the 18 players at Albany
Golf Club. The only time he touched a club was to pose for a
photo, and he leaned on it while talking to Justin Rose and
Zach Johnson on the putting green.

with the Miami Marlins.

WALTON
Continued from page 11
Kerr has been sidelined since training camp because of complications
from offseason back surgery. There is
no timeline for his return but the
defending champion Warriors have
hardly missed a beat under Walton.
Waltons success as a coach comes as
little surprise to those who played with
him. Former Lakers teammate Kobe
Bryant saw this in Walton when he was
sidelined late in his career by a back
injury and brought into the coaching
circle by Phil Jackson.
I told him he was the next Phil,
because he was an average player with a
messed-up back, Bryant said. I used to
rib him all the time about that, but honestly, he always had a really brilliant
mind. He understood flow and tempo and
spacing and how to manage a team the
right way. So I couldnt be any happier
for him. He looks very comfortable in
that role. If youre going to have a mentor, Phils a pretty good one.
Walton has done something that even
Jackson never accomplished in his dec-

High

THE DAILY JOURNAL

ATLANTA Reliever Jim Johnson is

returning to the Atlanta Braves, agreeing to a $2.5 million, one-year contract.
The Braves announced the deal
Monday, bolstering a bullpen that didnt have anyone with double-figure
saves last season.

Johnson saved nine games for the

Braves before he was dealt to the Dodgers
at the trade deadline. After posting a 2.25
ERA in 49 games with Atlanta, the righthander was 0-3 with a 10.13 ERA in 23
games with the Dodgers.
Johnson could have a shot at being
the Braves closer or serving as a setup
reliever for Arodys Vizcaino, who had
nine saves and a 1.60 ERA in 36 games
after taking over the role.

orated coaching career that featured a

record 11 NBA titles even if he doesnt officially get the credit for it.
The Warriors have downplayed who
deserves credit, with Walton praising
the system Kerr put in place, Kerr praising Walton for the way he has run the
team and the system and the players
saying both are integral.
Hes been amazing, forward
Draymond Green said of Walton. Hes
still Luke. Thats what has been special
about it. He hasnt changed the way he
acts. He hasnt changed anything.
Obviously, he says a little more in the
game coaching and calling the plays.
He does all that stuff. Its just incredible
how hes adjusted to that role.
Walton, the son of Hall of Famer Bill
Walton, has been around the game for
most of his life. He played for Hall of
Famer Lute Olson in college at Arizona,
learned under Jackson and two-time NBA
champion Rudy Tomjanovich during his
playing career and was an assistant under
Kerr on the Golden State team that won
67 games and a title last season.
But Walton credits much of his learning to that time when he was injured
with the Lakers in the 2009-10 season.
It was an unbelievable gesture to start
with, Walton said. He said that I was
depressed and down and out. I had a bad

back and didnt know when I would be able

to play again. There was nothing that I
could do except sit in the trainers room
and get treatment all day. Phil going
through a similar experience I think it
helped him through that time and it definitely helped me through that time.
Walton said his time in the trainers
room with Jackson, assistants Frank
Hamblen and Brian Shaw and the rest of
the staff helped draw him into coaching.
I saw right there that you still get that
sense of camaraderie that you have as a
player and you are out there and trying to
come up with stuff to help your team
win, he said. It had all those elements
that make playing basketball so much
fun. It had all of those in the coaching.
Walton joined Kerrs staff at Golden
State last year as an assistant and got
promoted to the lead job when Alvin
Gentry left for New Orleans after the
championship season.
Now hes getting a chance to run a
team with Kerr out and is showing the
league he could be ready for his own
head coaching job soon.
You see it all the time with an assistant that hes cool and then when hes a
head coach hes crazy, Green said. You
see that all the time. It hasnt been like
that at all. That says a lot about him as a
person. Hes cool.

Continued from page 11
opening set. The seniors formidable
slide-step was unstoppable from the
right side, as it so often is. But with
Smoot and junior outside hitter
Tammy Byrne being so consistently
stellar from the outside this season,
seldom has Beering had the chance to
show such power and repetition with
her kill shot.
Ive never seen her play that good
in my life, Smoot said. Shes a senior. So I think she just wanted to go
out with a bang.
Beering sparked some major adrenaline in Game 1, teaming with Byrne
on an early block to give Notre Dame
a 7-4 lead. She followed that with a
slew of kills, splitting Marin
Catholics block for several points.
That adrenaline, theres nothing
like it, Notre Dame head coach Jen
Agresti said.
Agrestis keen volleyball IQ
played a major part in the Tigers producing insurmountable leads in the
first two sets. Scouting game film,
Agrestis game plan centered around a
front-row defense to get as many
touches on Marin Catholic attacks as
possible. So, for an hour before
Mondays practice, Agresti dissected
the film with Beering, Byrne, Smoot
and middle blocker Mele Fakatene.
It was huge, Agresti said. We
were able to match some key formations on them and commit to a good
game plan.
The overtime paid off. Marin
Catholic managed only six kills in
Game 1 and just six more in Game 2.
And Beering continued to ride the
adrenaline with three early kills in
Game 2; her third quelled a back-andforth bout to tie it 9-9. Then after a

Marin Catholic hitting error gave the

Tigers the lead, Smoot unloaded with
one of her eight kills in the set to
begin distancing the lead for good.
You can only adjust to their velocity so much, Marin Catholic head
coach Jake Spain said. Its just a
matter of trying to limit the swings
that they take with that velocity.
Smoot went on to close out the set
with a four-point service run, including two aces. In Game 3, however,
with Notre Dame seemingly on the
verge of cruising to the Nor Cal title
in straight sets, Marin Catholic made
some late adjustments in the back
row with some timely digs.
Notre Dame led the set 17-12, but
Marin Catholic went on a six-point
run paced by senior outside hitter
Carol Raffety, who produced four of
her team-high 14 match kills to
overtake the Tigers. Tied at 18-18,
Smoot exacted a fade for a kill to give
the Tigers the lead, which would stay
until they reached match point at 2423. Then Marin Catholic rallied for
three straight points to force a Game
4.
We had kind of lost track of that
(front-row defense) and thats how we
lost momentum a little, Fakatene
said.
Game 4 turned into a similar battle.
After Notre Dame jumped out to a 168 lead, Marin Catholic went on an
eight-point run to tie it.
But, in staying true to the theme of
the night, Notre Dame refused to let
history repeat itself. Byrne connected for five kills in the set, including
one off the left side to sway a 17-16
lead to the Tigers. Beering added
another block to lengthen it to 2117. Then Smoot finished with three
straight kills to end it.
Ive been playing with Katie and
Tammy for three years, Fakatene
said. And Im one of a small group
of seniors, so it means a lot for this
to be our last high school season.

Naturally health, impressively delicious, cioppino delivers

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Classic holiday dishes usually are

fattier, sweeter and heavier than our
normal fare, so when a traditional dish
actually is healthy without any
tweaks, thats something to celebrate,
indeed!
So if cioppino isnt somewhere on
your holiday menu, lets change that.
Cioppino is a tomato-based fish stew
that relies on simple (and healthy!)
ingredients for flavor. Plus, its the
ultimate guilt-free comfort food.
Cioppino is incredibly versatile.
You can make it as simple or fancy as
you like depending on the seafood you
use. Anything from the fishmongers
best catch to frozen seafood mixes will
work. And a mix of fish and seafood
each week is one of the best health
moves we can make for our brain and
heart health.
My cioppino version is super quick.
The result is a light-and-lovely tomato

broth that satisfies without weighing

you down, which is the perfect foil for
those belt-loosening meals that dot
the holiday landscape.
The recipe takes just minutes to prepare, making it perfect for entertaining (spend more time with your
guests!) and weeknight post-work dining alike. You even could make the
broth the night before, then simply
heat it up and add the seafood moments
before serving. That means you get a
company-worthy dinner on the table
in under 15 minutes.
Fresh fennel and orange zest are the
secrets to great flavor. That hint of
licorice plus that slightly sweet aromatic orange zest work magic together
in the acidic tomato sauce. And remember, any cioppino recipe really is a
template, ready for you to personalize
and make your own. Once you make
one cioppino this holiday season, Ill
bet you will be enjoying fish stews
throughout the year.

QUICK CIOPPINO
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly
sliced (a mandoline is best)
Kosher salt
8 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups fish stock or clam juice
1 cup chicken stock (or more fish
stock)
1/2 to 1 cup water
28-ounce can crushed tomatoes,
finely chopped and with juices
2 bay leaves
1 pound cod (or other white fish), cut
into 1-inch chunks

Any cioppino recipe really is a template, ready for you to

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Community meetings will be planned in

the first quarter of 2016 to gain feedback on
park design and other details.
Redwood Citys parks and playgrounds
are vital assets to our community,
Redwood City Manager Melissa Stevenson
Diaz wrote in a statement. These safe outdoor spaces for family-friendly recreation
help make Redwood City a community for
all ages.
More than 80 percent of Redwood City
residents polled in a recent city satisfaction
survey put extremely high value on parks
and recreation programs, she wrote.
These renovations will help make our
parks even more sustainable, so that the
community may enjoy them for years to

come, Diaz wrote.

The turf project will replace the synthetic
turf currently on the fields with the newest
generation synthetic turf, reconstruct tennis courts and upgrade tennis court lighting,
as well as add lighting to Guida-49er Field.
The new turf infill is composed of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which is non-toxic
and heavy metal free. TPE is also 100 percent recyclable and reusable and remains
cooler than other infill options during warm
weather, according to a press release.
The Red Morton field and tennis courts
closure will affect McGarvey Field,
Bechet/Griffin Field, Guida-49er Field and
the tennis courts and will last until March
2016. The park is still open to the public.

Access to some areas of the park and some

parking lots will be limited during the renovation, according to the press release.
Modernizing the senior center on
Madison Avenue and YMCA, whether by
rebuild or renovation, is a long-planned
project.
It includes a campus of buildings and
spaces including the Veterans Memorial
building, Herkner Pool, Wellness Center
(old 49er building), Resource Building (city
administration and senior center gift shop)
and the NFL Alumni building.

offices, restaurants and hotels.

It takes into account the types of housing
being constructed, household income, the
affordability gap and the link to new jobs
created when housing or offices come
online.
Buyers and renters of new market-rate
condominiums and apartments create new
spending which can be linked to new jobs,
many of which pay low wages, according to
the Housing Impact Fee Nexus Study.
The county and 14 cities participated in

the nexus study called 21 Elements.

Redwood City is the first of those who
participated that will vote on enacting the
fees.
Daly City, however, was the first in the
county to adopt such fees in 2014 when the
council approved an affordable housing
impact fee.
Last month, the Redwood City Council
heard an introduction of an ordinance requiring developers to pay impact fees for all
projects submitted after Sept. 21, 2015.
The proposal is to charge developers
impact fees ranging from $5 to $25 per
square foot.

The fees includes $20 per square feet for

market-rate residential condominiums and
apartments and office developments. The
fee will be $25 per square feet for singlefamily and townhome construction of five
units or more.
A lesser fee would be applied to retail and
hotel developments at $5 per square feet.
Developers who pay area standard wages
to its workers will also be given a rebate,
the council decided.

previously been sent to state prison.
Its a terrible coincidence that
realignment may have factored into
Straws murder, said Melissa Lukin,
executive director of Community
Overcoming Relationship Abuse.
Its an inevitability that (nonserious) cases will become ones we have
to pay close attention to.
But Kirincic pleaded no contest to
felony domestic violence and served
60 days for an attack during which he
attempted to suffocate Straw with a
pillow. He also punched her in the
face giving her a bloody nose, according to the District Attorneys Office.
The evidence didnt support
attempted murder charges, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Tuesday.
It was his first felony and didnt
warrant state prison time, he said.
Sometimes the system does fail,
Wagstaffe said, but that wasnt the
case in Straws murder.
The county prosecutes about 1,000
domestic violence cases a year, he
said.
No one can possibly predict who
the killer is, he said.
The tragedy in this case, he said, is
that the victim ever connected with
this violent guy, Wagstaffe said
about Kirincic.
CORA issued a statement Tuesday
following the arrest of Kirincic
Monday night.
Heartbreaking events like this
remind us that domestic violence is
not cannot be a private issue. It
is a complicated issue and it touches
us all, the statement reads.
In Straws case, it sounds like people did try to help and that many were
aware she was in a possibly abusive
relationship, Lukin said.
This is a public responsibility and
not a private issue, she said.
Ultimately though it would have
been up to Straw to seek help, she
said.
Really all you can do is let people
know you care, that services are avail-

able and its not their fault, Lukin

said.
Neighbors have repeatedly phoned
police about disputes at Straws home
on South B Street in San Mateo.
Theres a chance that Straw did not
self-identify that she was a victim
of domestic violence, Lukin said.
Victims often have their self esteem
eroded and may not feel worthy of
help. Domestic violence continues to
be the least reported crime in the
United States, she said.
CORA used to have a robust outreach campaign to alert the community of what services it provides and
how to recognize abuse, but those
funds have dried up.
As far as the District Attorneys
Office is concerned, it does a great
job of holding batterers accountable, Lukin said.
As part of Kirincics plea deal, he
was ordered to have no contact with
Straw. She also had a restraining order
against him and another man who previously lived with her at the home in
which she was stabbed. Straw was
also notified Kirincic was being
released from jail, Wagstaffe said.
This is a particularly sad case,
Lukin said.
CORA is the only agency in the
county that provides services for survivors of domestic violence.
Kirincic is scheduled to be arraigned
Wednesday afternoon.
He was arrested Monday night in
Redwood City at his mothers residence after police evacuated the
neighborhood and used a flashbang
grenade to storm the home.

Straws neighbors said Kirincic was

a constant presence at his girlfriends
house until being arrested for allegedly beating her so badly she needed to
be hospitalized.
Kirincic lived with Straw at her B
Street home and the two had an
increasingly volatile relationship,
said neighbor Yo Yoshida.
Straw kicked him out of the house
multiple times, Yoshida said Monday.
The yelling and screaming got so
bad that Kirincic would actually apologize to neighbors for his behavior,
he said.
Yoshida even exchanged words with
Kirincic, who has a long criminal history for mostly drug offenses.
Police were called to the couples
home Aug. 31 after the two had been
heard yelling. The couple was allegedly cited for possessing drug paraphernalia.
Yoshida said Straw had become
more reclusive in recent months leading up to her death.
With all domestic violence related
homicides, there is a countywide
death review committee, a subcommittee of the Domestic Violence
Council that will review all institutional responses to uncover any
learnings possible from this case,
Lukin said.
CORAs advice to those close to a
domestic violence situation is to
understand the cycle of abuse, learn to
recognize it, help to empower those
experiencing abuse by letting them
know the abuse is not their fault, they
are not alone and that help is available.
Last year, CORAs hotline was
called 7,730 times and law enforcement referred another 3,848 individuals to the agency.
It provided 190 survivors with
emergency shelter, including their
children. But it received 1, 973
requests for shelter that the agency
could not meet.
It also provided legal services to
488 individuals.
The agencys funding, however, has
diminished over the years as government subsidies have been greatly
reduced.

Hanson hops from singing

MMMBop to brewing beer
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The problem with getting liquored up with

the Hanson brothers yes, the MMMBop boys is
that you cant get that tune out of your head the entire time
youre talking to them. Or for days after. Apologies for the
ear worm.
The only consolation is that theyre no longer boys,
which makes the whole affair seem less icky. Because when
you say to yourself, Im going drinking with Hanson, the
mental image is of pounding back a few with the bouncy
preteens from those ba du bop, ba duba dop music video
days. Luckily, like the rest of us, they grew up. And it turns
out, they grew into really nice guys who not only are still
making music, they also are pleasantly obsessed with craft
beer.
So obsessed, in fact, that theyve launched their own, a
pale ale. Care to guess the name? Give it a moment. Youll
get there. Think ... Thats right. You can now pop open an
Mmmhops (tagline: From the Guys That Invented
Mmmbop). Which is how I recently found myself at a
whiskey bar, huddled around a bottle of Jefferson Rye with
Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson.
Their music careers have chugged along pleasantly since
1997, the year MMMBop was seared into our pop ethos.
Careers quiet by industry standards, yet robust enough with
a fervent fan core to keep the brothers happy. Meanwhile,
18 years of tours and time on the road means theyve sampled a whole lot of good (and bad) beer. (You can do the
math. They are 34, 32 and 30, respectively, and are pretty
shameless about how long theyve been sipping suds.)
We traveled the world as kids and we got turned on to
great beer, said Isaac Hanson. At some point you decide to
take something you really like and turn it into a business
you love.
A few years ago around the same time they launched the
Hop Jam beer and music festival in Tulsa, Oklahoma they
started playing around with making their own beer.

just below the property located in the
Sunshine Gardens neighborhood near
El Camino High School.
Though the specific cause of the
damage is yet to be determined, it is
believed the heavy construction on
the loose soil nearby caused the familys property to collapse, and the
Ornellases said they are working
closely with the developer and other
specialists to stabilize the home and
ensure no further erosion will occur.
The home has been red tagged temporarily, and the family and their dog
are staying in a hotel paid for by the
developer until more permanent solutions can be found, said Mary
Ornellas.
We are kind of just taking it one
day at a time, said Adam Ornellas.
No one was injured in the accident,
and the rest of the home seems to be
preserved, according to Alex
Greenwood, South San Francisco
director of Economic Development.
The house superficially looks OK,
but obviously we have to do more
investigation to see if there is any
damage to the foundation, he said.
Greenwood said he is optimistic a
solution can be found in short order.
This could have been a lot worse,
and I hope the city, homeowners and
developers can work together and
have this resolved as quickly as possible, he said.
Samantha Hauser, a development
manager with City Ventures, pledged
the commitment of the construction
company to resolving the issue.
We are working very closely with
the city and the homeowners to figure
out what the problem is, and figure
out a mitigation for the short-term
and the long-term solution, she
said.
Hauser added safety is a top priority
for the company as well.
We want to ensure this is safe for
everyone, she said. At our site,
Adams house and all the neighbors.
Though city officials have worked
as a sort of intermediary between the
family and City Ventures, said
Greenwood, ultimately the citys
influence in this situation is limited.
At the end of the day, this is
between the developer and the homeowners, he said. The citys role is
to ensure safe practices are being followed.
But with wet weather on the horizon, finding a fix which will keep the
home stable is a top priority, said
Greenwood.
Time is of the essence on this, he

change may concern the people who love you. Follow
your heart. If your actions are less transparent, you will
avoid interference. Be true to yourself and forge ahead.

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for the

Unincorporated Areas of San Mateo County, California,
and Case No. 15-09-1770P. The Department of Homeland
Securitys Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood
hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study
(FIS) report for your community.
These flood hazard
determinations may include the addition or modification of
Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood
Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the
regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS
report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard
determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for
the floodplain management measures that your community is
required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the
proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the
statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit
FEMAs website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call

Obama says parts of climate

deal must be legally binding
By Karl Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Barack Obama meets with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, left, at the U.S. ambassadors residence during the World Climate Change
Conference 2015 in Paris, France.
strike. Other GOP politicians moved to
block Obamas plan to force steep cuts in
greenhouse gas emissions.
On Tuesday, the House passed two resolutions disapproving Obamas rules to reduce
carbon emissions from power plants despite
a promised presidential veto.
At a news conference, House Speaker Paul
Ryan was asked whether Congress was out of
step with public opinion on climate change.
I dont think were out of step with public
opinion wanting jobs, wanting economic
growth, weighing the costs and the benefits, Ryan said. I think when you weigh the
costs and the benefits against these so-called
legally binding obligations, they dont add
up. I think its very clear people want jobs.

At the Paris talks, the European Union has

called for a legally binding agreement with
emissions targets, but observers said it is
likely to drop that demand over the next two
weeks of negotiations to make sure the U.S.
can join the deal.
I think at end of the day everyone knows
that for the U.S. to be part of this, it cant
have the emissions target itself legally
embedded in the treaty, said Alden Meyer of
the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Nigel Purvis, a former U.S. climate negotiator and president of the non-governmental
organization Climate Advisers, said Obama
has all the legal authority he needs to enter
an agreement where only some elements are
binding.

Obamas comments brought relief to the

French hosts of the conference, who were
worried about whether the U.S. wanted a
binding deal at all after Secretary of State
John Kerry told The Financial Times that the
agreement was definitely not going to be a
treaty and that there was not going to be
legally binding reduction targets.
The fact that the United States of America
could commit to a binding agreement, whilst
before there was a doubt because of
Congress, is really extraordinary news that
comes at a good time, French Environment
Minister Segolene Royal said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
and other top Republicans have warned other
countries not to trust any deal Obama may

Burlingame Ave

LE BOURGET, France President Barack

Obama said Tuesday that parts of the global
warming deal being negotiated in Paris
should be legally binding on the countries
that sign on, setting up a potential fight
with Republicans at home.
Obamas stand won praise at the U.N. climate conference from those who want a
strong agreement to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from the burning of coal, oil and
gas. But it could rile conservatives in
Washington, especially if he tries to put the
deal into effect without seeking congressional approval.
The Obama administration has pledged during the international talks to reduce U.S.
emissions by up to 28 percent by 2025. But
inscribing the emissions target in the Paris
deal would probably require the president to
submit the pact to the GOP-controlled
Congress, where it would be unlikely to win
ratification. Many Republicans doubt global
warming is real or fear that stringent pollution controls could kill jobs.
So the administration is looking to keep
the targets out while including binding procedures on when and how countries should
periodically review and raise their targets.
Although the targets themselves may not
have the force of treaties, the process, the
procedures that ensure transparency and periodic reviews, that needs to be legally binding, Obama said in Paris, and thats going
to be critical.
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., chairman of the
Senate Environment and Public Works
Committee and a fierce critic of Obamas
policies, fired back immediately.
The U.S. Senate will not be ignored. If the
president wishes to sign the American people up to a legally binding agreement, the
deal must go through the Senate, he said in
a statement. There is no way around it.
The White House previously said parts of
the deal should be legally binding, but this is
the first time Obama has said it himself and
spelled out which ones.
