Belmont teachers get contract

Deal with district means retroactive raises total 5 percent, health benefits increased
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After two years of negotiations, the

Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary
School District has reached a tentative
agreement for two retroactive raises, one
for 2 percent and another for 3 percent,
with its teachers association Monday.
This is a step in the right direction, said

Angela Sveda, president of the BelmontRedwood Shores Faculty Association. Our

school board and district have begun the
process of refocusing their priorities to the
classroom and investing in their educators.
I want to thank our community for their
unending support of our educators during
this tough time.
Both parties will be working to ratify the
agreement in the next few weeks, according

to a Nov. 10 joint statement from

Superintendent Michael Milliken and
Sveda. The agreement first goes to the association for ratification before heading to
the school board, which will probably
review it in December, Milliken said.
We thank the negotiating teams for their
hard work, and we thank the community for
its support of the educators and the school
district throughout this process, Milliken

and Sveda wrote in the statement.

The tentative agreement resolves negotiations for the 2012-13, 2013-14 and 201415 school years. The agreement states that
all 2011-12 association member salary
schedules will be increased by 2 percent
retroactive to July 1, 2013, for the 2013-14
school year, while all 2013-14 association

San Carlos council

taking first steps
on possible bond
City to decide by summer
15 to seek ballot measure
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Unlike previous tax measure entreaties to San Carlos voters, a possible bond measure for next Novembers election
will be based on public priorities rather
than officials wish list.
The City Council has seven key projects and services it said a bond measure
could fund, such as buying land for a park
or aquatic center, but will let the public
drive what might ultimately be on the
ballot.
The council is not looking to do anything specific, City Manager Jeff
Jeff Maltbie
Maltbie said at Monday nights approval
of election consulting services. The
council is looking to listen to the community.
The council unanimously agreed to spend $117,730 for
election consulting and polling services and $30,542 for
community meetings.
Councilman Matt Grocott wasnt completely sold on the idea.

SAN FRANCISCO The San

Francisco Zoo has hired an expert
in gorilla enclosures to help
investigate the death of its young
western lowland gorilla, Kabibe.
Kabibe was crushed by a
hydraulic door on Friday when she
unexpectedly darted under it while
it was closing.
The zoo is bringing in animal
psychologist Terry Maple, who
has redesigned gorilla enclosures
at other zoos and was hired by the
San Francisco Zoo in 2012 to
upgrade animal enclosures with a
focus on the animals mental wellbeing.
Zoo officials have said the door
that killed Kabibe had a manual
off-switch, but workers did not get
to it quickly enough. The accident
occurred while Kabibe and other
animals were being moved into
their nighttime enclosures.

Tens years in the making, San Carlos resident and chef

Ellamarie Fortenbach is releasing her cookbook Cooking
with Ellamarie, Celebrities, and Kids Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Fortenbach, who is originally from Dallas, is the founder
of Chez Le Petit Chef, a cooking school in San Carlos that
focuses on child chefs. She decided to create the cookbook,
which features celebrities such as actors Jennette McCurdy,
Eva La Rue, Danny Glover, Elisabeth Rohm, Maria CanalsBarrera and Ed Begley Jr. and musician Steve Azar cooking
with their families, along with large photos and nutritional,
fun food recipes. The celebrities also share stories with
Fortenbach in her first book.
It took some time to fully develop it, she said. I have a
lot on my plate. My mother is living with me and she has
advanced dementia. Its been a hurdle for a couple years and
there are a lot of dynamics that are going on that all were
positive, were a family that likes enjoying life, cooking
and eating.
She has three daughters. Foustene is 18, Solange is 17 and
Satiene is 12 years. Fortenbach met her husband Eric while
in Maui after winning a radio contest to bring her grandparents on vacation. Fortenbach grew up in a large family with
a single mom and she spent a good deal of time with her
grandparents who ran family businesses, primarily restaurants.
I would go with her (her mom) to get an early age training on the restaurant industry, she said. I was working
with the chefs, or maybe being a nuisance to them. I had fun
picking up produce and checking the quality of the meat.
I have been a foodie for a very long time.
Fortenbachs friend from Draegers Supermarket urged her
to write a book. The book was also inspired by her desire to
promote the family bonding and safety in the kitchen, as
one of her daughters damaged a finger while alone in the
kitchen once.
I knew the best way to get that promoted was to have
high profile people to support that like celebrities, she
said. I never envisioned this was going to take place.
The recipes are a mix of healthy and fun, she said. Some of
the recipes include pumpkin spice truffles, cinnamon rolls,
macaroons, Mediterranean paella, Cuban chicken fricassee
and prawn cocktail and sauce.
Its OK to be able to have sweets, but in moderation, she
said.
Fortenbach enjoys experimenting with cooking.
It (cooking) is an art, but we dont take it so seriously,
she said. We want to be able to create and enjoy the foods.
Sometimes I am in the kitchen from morning til night.
Fifty percent of her profits will be donated to actor Kevin
Sorbos nonprofit organization A World Fit For Kids. The
nonprofit uses physical activity, nutrition and mentoring
to help kids and motivate them to stay in school.
The book will be available at Barnes & Noble for the holidays and online before it branches out for a wider distribution. Go to cookingwithellamarie.com for more information.

the running suspect, who then pulled out a
gun, police said.
Police shot the suspect and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators
have not yet confirmed whether the suspect

A one-day saturation patrol Friday on the

Officers were equipped with high-tech

County retirement

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Barb Nei and Neil Holman walk their dog in Minneapolis. People in the Upper Midwest and
Rockies woke up to frigid temperatures Tuesday and heavy snow blanketed some areas.
Other parts of the Midwest and East are expecting a dose of the icy weather later this week
from a powerful storm that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend.

The countys $3 billion retirement plan

board has named a new CEO starting this
week to fill the shoes of his retiring predecessor.
The board of the San Mateo County
Employees Retirement Association unanimously chose Scott Hood in September after
a nationwide recruitment. His new position
was effective Nov. 9. He replaces David
Bailey who is leaving in early 2015.
Hood served as SamCERAs information
technology manager for two years before
becoming assistant executive officer in
2002. For the last 12 years, Hood has managed the benefits, finance, information
technology, communications and administrative staff of the association.
Hood said he was both humbled and honored to be chosen.
I look forward to working with the Board
of Trustees and all stakeholders to maintain
SamCERAs high level for performance
while building for the future, Hood said in a
prepared statement.
Hood has a bachelors of science in engineering from the United States Military
Academy and a masters of science in com-

as a U.S. Army reserve colonel last year,
ending more than 30 years of combined

Outgoing CEO Bailey said he is happy to
see Hood recognized for his contributions
to SamCERA so far and is glad to see him
with the opportunity for more success.
SamCERA holds more than $3 billion in
trust for pension benefits and pays more
than $150 million annually in benefit payments and refunds for more than 10,000
active, inactive and retired members and
beneficiaries.
San Mateo County has been actively
working to pay down its pension liabilities
by allocating a $50 million payment last
year followed by $90 million for each of the
next nine. At that level, SamCERA is on
course to be 100 percent funded by fiscal
year 2023-24.

City to impose water rules during drought

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Carlos plan to impose water conservation measures during dry times like the
current drought and fine violators is
unfair because the city hasnt first educated residents about how to improve their use,
according to one councilman.
But Councilman Matt Grocott found himself in the minority Monday night when the
council voted 3-1, with Councilman Bob
Grassilli recusing himself, to give itself
authority to declare a water shortage emergency and impose conservation measures
once the state or local supplier California
Water Company first declares its own.
Grassilli stepped aside from the vote

because he has a business

arrangement with the
California
Water
Company and he wanted
to avoid any appearance
of a conflict, he told the
Daily Journal after the
City Council meeting.
During a water emergency in San Carlos,

business days. Water use is also banned for

washing hard surface areas like driveways,
filling decorative water features or operating a car wash unless the water is recirculated or recycled. Restaurants will also not
serve water unless requested and other uses
could be determined wasteful by the Public
Works director or public utility.
Violators will be issued citations punishable as infractions. No dollar amount has
been decided yet.
Grocott said the ordinances enforcement
language is too ambiguous and doesnt
specifically define terms like waste or
overwatering which leaves water users
unclear on whether they are violating the
rules.
Grocott also said the city should first tell

residents how to conserve water before

imposing restrictions and punishment.
I felt like we havent done anything as
an agency to educate people about the
drought and how to properly irrigate. We
need to tell them about the things that are
mentioned in the ordinance. I feel like we
havent done that first and it isnt fair to
people, he said.
Several other Peninsula cities like Foster
City and Redwood City have also implemented water preservation measures in
response to the drought. San Carlos itself
has decreased municipal water use by 20 percent.

Obama steps into

divisive debate
on net neutrality
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Lets say

President Barack Obama gets his
way and high-speed Internet service providers are governed by the
same U.S. regulations imposed on
telephone companies 80 years
ago.
Depending on whom you listen
to, the rules could unleash future
innovation and create jobs or
stifle innovation and kill jobs. The
divisive and often confusing
debate has intensified now that
Obama has entered the fray.
Obamas stance is meant to protect net neutrality, the concept
that everyone with an Internet connection should have equal access to
all legal content online. The idea
served as one of the Internets
building blocks, but its fate has
been in limbo since January, when
a court ruling invalidated Federal
Communications
Commission
guidelines designed to treat all
online traffic equally.
The FCC has already been working on a new regulatory framework
and is under no legal obligation to
heed Obamas call. Nevertheless,
Obamas opinion turns up the
political heat on FCC Chairman
Tom Wheeler and the four other
commissioners who will make the
final decision. The FCC isnt under

a deadline to make a decision.

PRO REGULATING
INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS AS UTILITIES
Obama believes the adoption of
these Depression-era rules are the
best way to preserve a free and
open Internet that gives everyone
in the U.S. the same access to any
website hosting legal content,
including video, music, photos,
social networks, email, and maps.
Adopting these rules would
empower the U.S. government to
prevent powerful online service
providers such as Comcast,
Verizon and Time Warner Cable
from controlling Internet traffic in
a way that suits their own financial
interests. This premise assumes the
service
providers,
if
left
unchecked, will create a two-tier
system that funnels Internet traffic
into fast and slow lanes. Only the
richest companies will be able to
pay the extra tolls to ensure their
online content is accessible
through these fast lanes, according
to this hypothesis.
It is historically important that
the Internet enhances freedom for
all rather than profit for a few,
says Ed Black, president of the
Computer & Communications
Industry Association, a trade group
that represents many technology

companies, including Internet
search leader Google Inc. and
social networking leader Facebook
Inc.
And major cable-TV providers
that also sell high-speed Internet
service might be able to diminish
the quality of service to Internetonly video services such as Netflix
and Hulu that might lure away their
customers.
Netflix Inc., which boasts 37
million U.S. subscribers, is leading the charge to regulate Internet
service providers like utilities.
If net neutralitys principles hadnt been in effect for the past 20
years, proponents contend entrepreneurs would have been discouraged from developing a wide range
of online services that have created
millions of jobs and billions of
dollars in wealth. Preserving net
neutrality will put more people to
work and enrich more investors

under this theory.

AGAINST REGULATING
INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS AS UTILITIES
If the U.S. government becomes
the Internets traffic cop, online
service providers will lose their
incentive to continue investing in
projects that improve their networks and expand into areas that
have little or no high-speed access.
This would lead to less innovation
and threaten millions of jobs,
according to cable and telecommunications companies spearheading
the argument for little or no regulation.
Adopting Obamas approach
would threaten millions of jobs
and a diverse array of stakeholders, warned Broadband for
America, an industry trade group.

Last year, AT&T, Verizon,

Comcast and Time Warner Cable
invested a combined $46 billion in
the U.S. on plants, property and
equipment, according to estimates complied in an analysis by
the Progressive Policy Institute,
a think tank.
Internet service providers also
argue that it would be unfair to
codify regulations that would prevent them from ever recovering
some of the costs for connecting
to broadband hogs such as
Netflix, whose service generates
about one-third of U.S. online
traffic during the evening hours
on weekdays. Netflix already
pays Comcast, Verizon and AT&T
an undisclosed fee for a more
direct connection to their networks, an arrangement that could
become unnecessary if Obamas
recommendation is adopted by the
FCC.

Europe ready to land first probe on streaking comet

By Frank Jordans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN How do you land a spacecraft

on a comet that is streaking by at 41, 000
mph (66, 000 kph)?
Thats a problem scientists have been
grappling with for more than a decade as
they prepare for one of the most audacious

Space Agencys attempt to land a scientific probe on the giant ball of ice and dust
known as 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Theyll find out Wednesday whether
their plan will work when the agencys

Germany, gives its unmanned Rosetta
space probe the final go-ahead to drop a

Veterans Day means lots of

freebies for those who served
By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Army reservist Dennis Rances had a general idea of how he would spend Veterans Day with his military friends, and none of it required money.
The Afghanistan war veteran figured they would start
with a free breakfast, ride their motorcycles and then stop
for a no-cost dinner. Not just food was on the house
Tuesday, there was also free admission at select theaters to
the World War II film Fury, starring Brad Pitt.
Lets go, dude! said Rances Army veteran friend, Cesar
Garcia. He stood among motorcycles outside a packed
Dennys in San Diego as fellow veterans wearing hats with
Purple Heart logos and military T-shirts passed.
Veterans Day is not only a time to honor those who have
served in the military: For American businesses, its also a
time to back up that appreciation with a freebie.
A slew of locally owned businesses and national chains
offered something free Tuesday to anyone who has served
in the military a trend that has been growing since the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
I think its pretty cool businesses are showing their
appreciation this way, Rances said.
Many, like Rances, started the day with a free meal.
Dennys was offering a Grand Slam breakfast on the house,
and IHOP served up free red, white and blue pancakes.
Veterans could then walk off the calories in national
parks, which offered free admission to everyone, and reenergize with a free 12-ounce cup of Starbucks-brewed coffee for current and former military members and their
spouses.

Moderates look to wield

clout in GOP-led Senate
By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Soft-spoken Republican Sen. Susan

Collins is quite popular these days, fielding calls from
President Barack Obama, members of the GOP leadership and
top Democrats Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer.
The outreach was more than just congratulations for winning a fourth term. Both parties have an incentive for courting Collins.
Come January, the centrist from Maine will be a crucial
member of a group of moderates wielding considerable clout
in the Republican-led Senate, along with independent Angus
King, also of Maine, and a handful of Democrats from
Republican states. Depending on the issue, the moderate
ranks could increase slightly as Republicans from
Democratic states move to the middle ahead of 2016 re-election bids.
The GOP likely will hold 54 seats next year, a solid majority but six short of the 60 necessary to break Democratic filibusters and delaying tactics. Incoming Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would need the support of Maines
King and Democrats such as North Dakotas Heidi Heitkamp,
Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and
Montanas Jon Tester to move legislation over any
Democratic objections.
I hope that those of us who are committed to actually getting legislation passed can work together and bridge some of
the partisan divide, Collins said in an interview.
McConnell has promised to get bills passed and change
how the Senate operates, returning to past practices in which
Republicans and Democrats offer amendments to legislation
and get a vote.

National Chocolate Day!

A promising change to Belmont home

nyone who has gone through

a home expansion or remodel knows it is an arduous and
eventful task lled with changes that
can strain a family no matter how prepared.
And as home prices rise and families grow, there is more interest in
such projects to allow that growth to
stay in place rather than have families
outside of the area to meet their needs.
So it is with welcome arms that the
city of Belmont is seeking ways to
revise and streamline remodel rules to
make it easier for property owners to
make needed improvements and add to
their homes. Belmont ofcials are
undertaking the task with small projects in mind. Right now, the city has
a low threshold that triggers a
Planning Commission review for
projects as small as a 400-square-foot
addition to a home and also prohibits
homes from being larger than 3,500
square feet in most areas. While those
limitations serve a purpose in keeping in check untrammeled develop-

Editorial
ment and expansions, they also create
more hoops for residents who bought
xer-uppers looking to spruce them
up. With limits on space, many residents may just sell their unremodeled
homes and look elsewhere. Doing so
not only hurts the citys housing
stock which will not benet from
modernization but also hurt its tax
base which benets from the
increased home value. It also has a
social aspect in that growing families
will not be able to stay in the city
they call home.
Creating a new tiered system in
which certain projects are simply
reviewed at the staff level would ameliorate some of the headaches that go
into taking a small project in front of
the Planning Commission. That
would also free up the commission to
focus on bigger ticket items more in
its realm of expertise such as the

General Plan, Ralston Avenue

Corridor Study and the Belmont
Village Plan.
But most importantly, it would alleviate a burden on home owners and
improve the citys customer service in
an area where most encounter the city
at the planning department.
While that is a key goal, there are
also concerns about growth and congestion that must be addressed.
Bigger homes mean more people, and
that has an impact on streets, city
services and neighbors. Whatever the
city ends up doing, it must be with
that in mind and include specic
enough information that one familys
growing home does not have a great
impact on their neighbors both next
door and down the street.
Still, a city looking to ease the
arduous rules that sometimes come
with even basic home improvements
is a promising sign as long as the
new rules are fair for all and keep the
community fabric at front and center.

Walkable downtown Burlingame Kaiser nurses
Editor,
strike for better care
I loved Angela Swartzs piece on the
celebration of the completion of
Burlingames downtown streetscape
project and its widened sidewalks from
10 to 16 feet (Burlingame celebrates
streetscape opening in the Nov. 7
edition of the Daily Journal). I enjoy
downtowns, but in many of the
Peninsulas other vibrant business
districts, the al fresco dining often
encroaches so much into the sidewalks that walking is encumbered.
Residents of cities or towns that
want to experience a truly walkable
downtown, please come to
Burlingame to experience it. Consider
leaving the car at home and boarding
Caltrain, the Samtrans El Camino or
292 bus running on California Drive
one takes you to the western
boundary, the other two to the eastern
edge. When here, note that the conversion of angle to parallel parking is
greatly responsible for the increased
sidewalk width, something to consider if your town maximizes parking
spaces at the expense of walking.
If you do drive, note that parking
meter revenue helped nance
the$16.5 million downtown beautication project, which may be another
consideration to take back to your
community if it offers unpriced parking. No need to bring quarters unless
you park on the side streets as the new
parking meters on Burlingame Avenue

Editor,
We, the Kaiser nurses in the
Peninsula area, are going on strike
for safe, quality patient care
(Patient care, Ebola stirring nurse
protest in the Nov. 10 edition of
the Daily Journal). We believe that
with Kaiser making a profit of $12
million a day, that excess money
should be placed back into the facilities instead of being held as part of
reserve funds which currently
amounts to $21.7 billion.
Our facilities are lacking basic
necessities to provide quality care.
We have been working short-staffed
for the past three years, there are
2,042 positions not currently filled
in Northern California. In our region
alone, there are currently 300 plus
unfilled open positions.
Because we are understaffed, care is
often delayed and inadequate. With
the rapid influx of new patients, this
has intensified the problem.
In our emergency department, we
are holding patients who should be
admitted to the hospital. These elderly patients are kept on uncomfortable gurneys for many hours, unable
to rest or sleep because of the noise
and influx of patients.
If you need critical care nursing,
there will be a delay in getting your
bed because of lack of staffing. There
might be a delay in getting your pain
medications or treatments started as
well.

A note of thanks
Editor,
A note of thanks for the excellent
column regarding civility (The call
for civility by Jon Mays in the
Nov. 7 edition of the Daily Journal).
It has been a worry of mine for some
time. At my advanced age, I am
amazed at the lack of consideration
in all arenas, but have no thoughts
or ideas of what the solution may be,
so the column summed it up wonderfully. Now we just need to educate the
masses.
On another note, I would also like
to thank June Lamb for her letter
The proof is in the party in the
Nov. 8 edition of the Daily Journal. I
vote that she be the PR person for
the Democratic Party as they could
have capitalized on these accomplishments instead of running scared
due to Obamas standings, what a
bunch of wimps, they could have
kept the House if they had the
courage.

ll you need is love. But a little chocolate now

and then doesnt hurt. Charles Schulz.

With all of the excitement about the World Series, I

missed a very important day National Chocolate Day on
Oct. 28. I mean, really, where would we be without
Americas favorite avor? According to the sponsors of the
day, Chocolate is well deserving of its own day of observance and celebration.
Besides making so many of our foods delectable, many of
us dont realize that chocolate has been found to have some
health benets as well. An article by Kris Gunnars of
Authority Nutrition 7 Proven Health Benets of Dark
Chocolate, explains:
1). Quality dark chocolate with high cocoa content is
actually quite nutritious among other things, loaded with
minerals iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, zinc, etc.;
2). Cocoa and dark chocolate contain a wide variety of
powerful antioxidants natural substances in foods that
may prevent or delay some types of cell damage way
more than most other
foods.
3). Studies have shown
that it may improve blood
ow and lower blood pressure. Gunnars reports that
about a square of dark
chocolate a day lowered
blood pressure and reduced
risk of heart attack and
stroke by 39 percent;
4). It lowers the susceptibility of LDL oxidative
damage while increasing
HDL and improving insulin
sensitivity. It also increased
HDL and lowered LDL in men with elevated cholesterol;
5). Observational studies showed a drastic reduction in
heart disease risk for people who consumed dark chocolate
two or more times per week;
6). Dark chocolate may protect your skin against the sun;
and
7). It may improve brain function by improving blood
ow to the brain. It is reported that it also signicantly
improves cognitive function in elderly people with mental
impairment. But, remember, we need to choose quality
organic, dark chocolate with 70 percent or higher cocoa
content.
And speaking of brain function, there was an article in
the April 2014, Ladies Home Journal that should especially interest senior citizens. Its titled, 8 Seriously Easy
Ways to Improve Your Memory and Stay Sharp for the Rest
of Your Life by Julie Bain. Number four caught my attention Eat avonoids. This includes deeply colored
berries and grapes, beets, dark chocolate and cocoa. A
recent Harvard study showed increased blood ow and better
memory performance after participants drank two cups of
hot cocoa a day for a month. I Googled avonoids and
discovered that they increase exibility of veins and arteries. They are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benets through cell signaling pathways and
antioxidant effects. The foods listed there include onions,
parsley, blueberries, bananas, dark chocolate and red wine.
You may be interested in Ms. Bains seven other ways to
improve memory that we can all benet from:
1). Move it or lose it. When youre working out to the
point of breaking a sweat, youre actually growing new
brain cells in your hippocampus;
2). Change your expectations. In other words, try to keep
calm and carry on. Stress and frustration stimulate chemical changes that can shrink your hippocampus and lead to
memory problems;
3). Feed your brain especially with omega-3 fatty acid
found in sh and sh oil;
4). Eat avonoids. Weve covered that;
5). Reduce these three numbers (if yours are higher than
advised) blood sugar, blood pressure and belly fat;
6). Protect your head from impact. Even a minor fall can
cause a microscopic tear in your brain ... and the scar tissue
may cause memory problems;
7). Take on new challenges. Keep learning and memorizing new things throughout your life; and
8). Interact with people in the real world instead of by
email, Facebook, iPhone, etc. Connect with others in ways
that make you feel happy and fullled.
Who knows, some day it may be discovered that sugar (of
course the unrened variety) has amazing health benets.
In the meantime, dont take this information as free license
to eat as much of that leftover Halloween candy as you wish
since sugar, fat and other harmful ingredients added to most
commercially produced chocolate do not offer health benets. Of course, all of this should be taken with a grain of
salt. (I couldnt resist!)
Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into
four pieces with your bare hands and then eat just one of the
pieces. Judith Viorst.

Ford gets the aluminum F-150 ready for prime time

By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEARBORN, Mich. Russell

Barnett, a Ford dealer in Tennessee, is
ready for aluminum.
Ford is using the metal almost exclusively in the body of the 2015 version
of its best-selling F-150 pickup, which
will arrive at dealerships next month.
Barnett is already answering customers
questions about the truck, and hes updated his repair shop not only for the F150, but in anticipation that other Ford
vehicles will eventually make the switch
from steel.
But just in case, he ordered some extra
steel-bodied 2014 pickups.
There will be some people who wont
want to change for a while, says
Barnett, who says pickups make up
around half of the annual sales at his

dealership in rural Winchester.

Ford is doubling down on aluminum,
which is lighter and more expensive
than steel but just as tough. The new
truck is the companys response to customers requests for a more fuel-efficient
and nimbler pickup. Ford hopes the
advantages outweigh customer doubts
about the durability of aluminum or
potential repair costs for the pricier
metal.
Its a big risk. So far this year, one out
of every three vehicles Ford sold in the
U.S. was an F-Series pickup. Morgan
Stanley estimates F-Series trucks
account for 90 percent of Fords global
automotive profit.
On Tuesday, Ford kicked off production of the new truck at its Dearborn
Truck Plant, four miles from the companys headquarters.
Yeah, this is a risk, but its one well

worth taking. said Bill Ford, the companys executive chairman, as he stood
alongside the assembly line. For our
customer, this is a big, big leap forward.
The F-150 has been the best-selling
vehicle in the U.S. for 32 straight years;
last year, Ford sold nearly 100,000 more
full-size pickups than General Motors.
Aluminum isnt new to the auto industry, but this is the first time it will cover
the entire body of such a high-volume
vehicle. Ford made 647,697 F-150 pickups at its two U.S. plants last year; thats
one every 49 seconds.

Business briefs
Businesses cash in as women chase bigger butts
NEW YORK Gym classes that promise a plump posterior are in high demand. A surgery that pumps fat into the
buttocks is gaining popularity. And padded panties that
give the appearance of a rounder rump are selling out.
The U. S. booty business is getting a big bump.
Companies are cashing in on growing demand from women
seeking the more curvaceous figures of their favorite stars,
who flaunt their fuller rear ends.
Nicki Minaj, for instance, raps about her big fat butt in
Anaconda. Reality star Kim Kardashian posts photos of
hers on Instagram. And in the music video for Booty,
Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea, wearing leotards, spend
four minutes rubbing their curvy bottoms together. At one
point, they slap each other on the booty.
As a result of the pop culture moment the butt is having,
sales for Booty Pop, which hawks $22 foam padded panties
on its website, are up 47 percent in the last six months
from the same period a year earlier. The company, which
declined to give sales figures, has sold out of certain styles
and colors this year, including its Pink Cotton Candy Boy
Shorts.
Susan Bloomstone, Booty Pops co-founder, says customers have asked for larger sizes. So, the Boston-based
company plans to begin selling pads that are 25 percent
larger this month. People just want more booty, she
says.
Feel Foxy, another maker of padded panties, says 2014
has been its best year since launching nearly a decade ago.
Sales are up 40 percent from a year ago, but the company
declined to give sales figures.
The Nicki Minaj song gave women the idea to pay attention to their rear end, says Jessica Asmar, co-owner of the
Houston company.

Yahoo buys digital ad

service BrightRoll for $640M
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is buying digital video
advertising service BrightRoll for $640 million in the
Internet companys latest attempt to boost its revenue after
years filled mostly with financial futility.
The acquisition announced Tuesday marks Yahoos first
major purchase since reaping a $9.4 billion windfall in
September by selling part of its stake in a rapidly rising
Internet star, Chinese e-commerce service Alibaba Group
Holding Ltd.
Yahoo Inc. has promised to distribute at least half of the
$6.3 billion in after-tax proceeds from the Alibaba stake
sale to its shareholders. That gives CEO Marissa Mayer the
option of spending the rest on acquisitions that could
enable the Sunnyvale, California, company to recover
some of the ground that it has lost to rivals Google Inc. and
Facebook Inc. in the booming online ad market.
BrightRoll, based in San Francisco, helps to automatically place ads in videos displayed on personal computers
and mobile devices. Since its founding in 2006, it has built
relationships with most of the biggest advertisers in the
U.S., helping the service generate more than $100 million
in annual revenue, according to Yahoo.

CSM-CCSF showdown to determine playoff picture

By Nathan Mollat

Defensively, however, the Rams

have been stout in conference play,
allowing just 38 points over their
last four games combined.
Regardless of what is riding on
the game, Pollack said nothing
changes in the Bulldogs physical
and mental preparation.
This is the next game. Here it
is, Pollack said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While every team has a main goal

of winning a championship, many
teams will break down a season into
a number of intermediate goals to
achieve throughout the season,
which hopefully culminates in
titles.
The College of San Mateo is no
different. But this week the Bulldogs
have a chance to go for Main Goal
No. 1 winning a conference
championship.
Saturday, CSM will travel to City
College of San Francisco for a 1
p.m. kickoff with the National Bay
6 Conference title on the line
along with a spot in the Northern
California playoffs for a chance to
play in the state championship,
which is the Bulldogs ultimate
goal.
Its why you come to CSM. You
come to play at this level. There is
no doubt these teams are the two of
the top four in Northern California,
I dont care how you slice it, said
CSM coach Bret Pollack.
And you couldnt ask for more two
evenly matched teams playing for
the title. Both are 4-0 in conference
play and their only losses on the
season have come to American
River.
Additionally, both teams, offensively, can beat opponents via the
run or the pass. In previous years,
the Rams used a spread, pass-heavy
scheme, using four and five wide
years before it became de rigueur in
the game.
Pollack said in a win over Santa
Rosa, CCSF went with a pass-first
attack. Against Diablo Valley

Playoff scenarios

PATRICK NGUYEN

Michael Latu paced CSM with 92 yards rushing in Saturdays win over DVC.
College two weeks ago, the Rams
tried to run the ball.
They hardly threw to their
receivers, Pollack said. Their
strength is their offensive line.
Their strength is their tight end. You
have to find out pretty quickly in the
game when San Francisco identifies
your weakness and then you have to
protect that.
The Bulldogs, however, gave the
Rams a lot of looks for which to
study as CSM put together arguably
its best offensive efforts of the season in a 50-21 win over DVC
Saturday. The Bulldogs racked 588
yards of total offense, a season

high. Justin Burgess threw for 239

yards, with receiver Elias Vargas
catching for passes for 134 yards
and two touchdowns. Michael Latu
paced the ground attack with 92
yards and a pair of scores.
Every game is not the same,
even though we have the same
pieces, Pollack said. Each game
has its own weaknesses and
strengths. This game (against
DVC), we had a good matchup with
Vargas and we attacked that.
San Francisco is coming off a 6717 win over De Anza last week. The
Rams also went over the 500-yard
mark in total offense.

The Northern California playoffs

were thrown into a bit of flux after
last weekend, putting even more
emphasis on the CSM-CCSF game
Saturday.
American River, which beat both
San Mateo and San Francisco this
season, was knocked off by Butte
31-28, giving the Roadrunners the
inside track to the National-NorCal
Conference title and one of the four
Nor Cal playoff spots. The CSMCCSF winner gets a second spot and
either Laney-Oakland or ChabotHayward would get a third spot as
the National-Valley Conference
champion, leaving just the wildcard berth left.
If American River wins its season
finale, it will get the final semifinal bid and the CSM-CCSF loser
would be relegated to one of five
bowl games in Northern California
and its chance to play for a state title
would be gone.
If the Beavers loses, both CSM
and CCSF would advance one as
conference champion, one as the
wild-card entry with a better conference record than American River.
CSM coach Bret Pollack, however, is not even thinking about that
stuff right now.
Im aware of all the scenarios,

Pollack said. Its all just prognostications.

Womens polo finishes third

at conference tournament
The College of San Mateo
womens water polo team ended its
season over the weekend, but finished on a high note, beating
Merced 16-3 to take third place at
the Coast Conference tournament.
We finished strong. The last
three weeks we played good water
polo, said CSM coach Randy
Wright. My first six years, we got
abused by Merced. 16-3 is quite a
wallop.
The Bulldogs, which finished
third during the regular season,
opened the tournament with an easy
19-2 win over De Anza to advance to
the semifinals against West Valley
the regular-season runner up.
West Valley ended CSMs hopes
of possibly qualifying for the Nor
Cal tournament with an 11-7 loss.
Despite falling short of a conference tournament title, Wright was
pleased with his teams performance
this season. He had two players
Tayler OConner and Shelby Chung
each score more than 80 goals
this season. OConner and Chung
were also first-team all-conference
selections, while OConner went on
to garner All-American and allNorthern California accolades as
well. Chung was named to the second-team all-Nor Cal team, while
Casey Johnson was a second-team
all-conference
selection.
Goaltender Ashley Mullany was an
all-conference honorable mention.
Starting out with six players and
finishing where we finished, it was a
nice year, Wright said.

CSM womens hoops off and running with win in opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Michelle Warner seems to have good reason to be upbeat about College of San
Mateos depth.
Entering her 15th year at the helm of CSM
womens basketball, Warner showcased said
depth in Saturdays 73-51 victory over
Hartnell in the Bulldogs season opener. Ten
different players scored in the game with the
sophomore tandem of McKenna Hilton
(Half Moon Bay) and Julianne Llacer (El
Camino) each tabbing double-figures.
At least half of [our players] can average
double-figures. They have that potential,
Warner said.
Hilton scored a team-high 17 points
while Llacer scored 13. Hartnell center
Denay Sells scored a game-high 25 points.
After losing seven of their last eight
games in 2013-14 en route to finishing 1214 overall and 4-8 in Coat Conference
North play, the Bulldogs retain a mostly
sophomore starting five, with center
Natalie Harden (Sequoia) and guard Sydney
Albin (Sequoia) rounding out Saturdays

Cardinal not focused on bowl games

STANFORD Even after all the recent setbacks and the roadblocks that remain, David
Shaw is still talking about what bowl Stanford
could go to not if his team will make a bowl.
Say this about the Cardinal coachs confidence: it hasnt wavered yet. It will, however, likely be tested again. Thats just the
kind of year it has been on The Farm.
Stanford (5-4, 3-3) started the season
coming off back-to-back Pac-12 championships and as the only team in the country
with four straight BCS bowl berths. Now
the Cardinal are just trying to become bowleligible and, despite Shaws self-assurance, even thats no longer a sure thing.
Stanford hosts No. 25 Utah (6-3, 3-3) on

returning starters. The lone freshman starter

was 5-3 point guard Megan Pham (Aragon).
I feel like were very versatile and have a
lot of depth, Warner said. Im honestly
still playing around with the starting lineup. Its going to depend on what were running and whos playing well.
Pham who tabbed seven points and two
assists is an academic sophomore who
didnt play basketball last season. It isnt
that she didnt want to. She simply thought
she wouldnt be good enough to make the
cut.
I didnt think I would make the team so I
didnt even try out, Pham said.
Instead, Pham signed up for a basketball
class on the physical education curriculum
at CSM. The instructor of the class was
Bulldogs football assistant head coach
Larry Owens or, as Warner refers to him,
one of CSM basketballs top talent scouts.
After getting a line on the virtual
unknown from Owens, Warner began
recruiting Pham. Shes turned out to be one
of the best three-point threats entering into
her freshman season.
During a scrimmage last month at West

Stanford football
Saturday before finishing the season at
improved rival California (5-4, 3-4) and
rejuvenated No. 14 UCLA (8-2, 5-2). The
Cardinal need to win one of those games to
become bowl-eligible.
We put ourselves in this position and who
knows what bowl game we have a chance to
go to? Shaw said. Its hard to go through the
matrix because you have no idea what other
people are going to do. Our conference is still
extremely turbulent, so who knows where we
could finish up as far as what bowl game that
will put us in? For us, we have football to play
and were still trying to play our best. And the
challenge for us is still out there: to play our
best complete game to date.

Hills College, Pham shot approximately 70

percent from beyond the arc. Soon thereafter she suffered a minor knee injury which
kept her out of action until Saturday.
Against Hartnell, she was 1-of-5 on threepoint attempts. Hilton paced the team with
three treys.
Warner is still mixing and matching her
starting lineup though. In the final scrimmage tournament of the preseason during
the last week of October, Warner utilized
four different starting lineups in four games.
I adapt to the personnel, Warner said. I
have to because you never know what youre
going to get or whos going to stick
through. Ive learned to try to be flexible
and run whatever style we have. I think with
the numbers we have, we definitely want to
put the pressure on and go full-court as much
as well can, but within control.
Enter freshmen guards Tamarra Lee and
Taylor Cormier. The two rotated in from the
bench Saturday and saw decent minutes. Lee
scored four points while Cormier scored six
while dishing out five assists.
Whats interesting in the two have flipflopped the roles in which they excelled in

high school. Lee was a point guard at San

Leandro High School. Cormier ran a runand-gun scheme as an off-guard at Mills.
Now, it will be Cormier who sees a majority
of minutes at the point, according to
Warner.
[Lee] can handle the ball well too, but
from the games I watched, [Cormier] could
push the ball really well and was used to
kicking it ahead, Warner said.
Meanwhile, Lees strength is her defense,
Warner said.
[Lee] is very versatile and a really good
defender, Warner said. She can play the 1,
2 or 3. I keep wanting to put her in all positions, but I dont want to overwhelm her too
much with the offense and the plays. But I
assume by next year she can be playing all
three positions.
At the post, the Bulldogs have plenty of
experience. Sophomore center Liane
Whipple came off the bench Saturday to
score seven points. Harden scored eight. The
two both served as backups last year but will
be relied upon for big minutes in 2014-15.
Next up, CSM hosts Gavilan Friday at 6
p.m.

Sharks fall to lowly Florida Panthers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Panthers 4, Sharks 1

SUNRISE, Fla. The Florida Panthers

broke out of their scoring slump in a big
way.
Aleksander Barkov scored and Roberto
Luongo made 21 saves as the Panthers beat
the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Tuesday night to
snap a three-game losing streak.
Tomas Fleischmann, Derek MacKenzie
and Jimmy Hayes each also scored for
Florida. Florida has won six of seven
against the Sharks.
The Panthers entered the game ahead of
only Buffalo in scoring with 20 in 12 games
and had allowed 10 goals over their past two
games. But Tuesday they recorded their
largest margin of victory this season
each of Floridas rst four wins were by one
goal. The Panthers hadnt led by more than
two goals in any previous game.

It was our best 60-minute game we put

together all year, Panthers coach Gerard
Gallant said. Tonight was a great performance by our group. The guys all competed;
there wasnt one guy that was a passenger
tonight.
The Panthers defense kept the Sharks
away from the net and they entered the third
period with just 12 shots.
We just never established any type of
energy in the game; any type of consistent
attack, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said.
Joe Thornton scored for the Sharks. Antti
Niemi had 26 saves.
As a team, we werent pleased with our
last couple games, Luongo said. Im really happy the way we responded. It was a
character win for our boys.
Ahead 2-0, the Panthers stretched their
lead on MacKenzies goal in the second.

rehabbing and get back to form.
Willis indicated his toe has been bothering him for several years and that he continued to play as long as he could stand the
pain.
I always think I can do more than Im
supposed to and tried to compensate,
Willis said. Sometimes guys are hurting,
and hurting bad, and still go out and play.
You could say I should have done this earlier, before I hurt it worse against the Rams.
After resting through the Oct. 26 bye,
Willis was back as part of the 49ers full
active squad on the field for the start of practice Oct. 29, but he had been limited primarily to individual work.
I felt, maybe just give it a couple of
weeks but it just didnt get better, Willis
said. I feel like I have five or six years left
in my body so I have to think about the big
picture. I promise you when I come back I
will be bigger and better than I was.
This is a big loss to one of the NFLs leading defenses, though the 49ers are expected
to have Aldon Smith back Sunday on the
road against the New York Giants.
Hopefully I can get in there and play
as much as I have, Smith said. I want to
stay strong, keep my eyes on the prize

Niemi blocked a shot by Aaron Ekblad but

MacKenzie grabbed the rebound in the slot
and wristed it into the net at 6:37. Ekblad,
the Panthers rst round pick in the 2014
draft, has six assists and seven points in 13
games, tying him with Jussi Jokinen for the
team lead.
Fleischmann, who was benched for
Saturdays game, made it 4-0 when he redirected a shot by Shawn Thornton into the
net at 3:01 of the third. The goal was
Fleischmanns rst of the season.
It was a good win against a good hockey
team, Thornton said. I told (Fleischmann)
before the game, Just get open, Ill nd
you. Everyone came to play tonight and we
need everybody to be successful.
The Panthers scored two goals in a span of
1:22 in the rst. They also outshot the
Sharks 10-5 in what may have been their
best period of the season.

Hayes took a nice pass from Vincent

Trocheck in the right circle and beat Niemi
with a wrist shot at 10:56 to make it 1-0.
Barkov took a pass from behind the net
and quickly sneaked the puck behind Niemi
from the left side for a 2-0 lead at 12:18.
Joe Thorntons tip-in for the Sharks with
9:25 left in the game made the score 4-1.
Tonight, for whatever reason, we just
didnt seem ready and we should have been,
Thornton said. When you go down 3-0, its
very hard to come back.
NOTES: San Jose played its third game
in four days. ... Florida D Dmitri Kulikov is
expected to miss two games with a knee
injury sustained in Saturdays game against
Calgary. ... Panthers players wore camouflage jerseys during warmups to honor military veterans on Veterans Day. ... Retired
Army Brigadier General Pete Dawkins, the
1958 Heisman Trophy winner, dropped the
ceremonial first puck.

Smith is set to begin practicing this week

after serving his nine-game suspension by
the NFL for violations of the leagues substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies.
I did everything that was necessary,
Smith said. Ive learned a lot and ready to
move forward.
In addition, 2013 All-Pro NaVorro
Bowman could be cleared to begin practice
this week, opening a 21-day window for the
team to activate him or place him on IR.
Bowman is recovering from surgery on
his left knee after he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in a devastating injury in the NFC championship
game loss at Seattle last January.
Rookie Chris Borland has filled in for
Willis and been spectacular, recording 18
tackles in a loss to the Rams two weeks ago
then 17 more tackles in an overtime win at
New Orleans on Sunday.
Im truly proud of the way hes playing,
Willis said. Hes gone out and held down
that position.
The NFL Network first reported Willis
would need toe surgery.
The Niners signed running back Alfonso

heart out until the last whistle is blown,
Moncada said.
Moncada now has goals in six of Skyline's
last seven games. She paces the team with 18
goals on the year.
She's a scorer, but through the whole year
she's had, with those breakaways, a challenge, Corsiglia said. We've talked to her
about being composed and about picking
a spot and seeing it before you do it. And she
put that exactly where she needed to put it.
Skyline seized the momentum and turned
up the heat on CCSF, but the Rams fed off the
energy to make for a thrilling finish.
CCSF drove back downfield and had two
key chances. The first came on a sideline
shot from forward Katrina Voris, who got
some bend on a shot towards the near
upright, but Skyline goalkeeper Stacie
Garcia covered the ground to deflect the shot
out of bounds.
Several minutes later, CCSF midfielder
Hannah Mikles shot a grounder just wide of
goal, but as Garcia attempted to gather it, the
ball squibbed through her arms and out of
bounds. On the ensuing CCSF corner kick,
forward Cassie Stansberry received a pass in
the penalty box amid traffic but couldn't get a
clean look to convert.
We moved the ball well a lot of the game,
CCSF head coach Gabe Saucedo said. We had
a better second half. I thought we played
faster, made better decisions and created better scoring opportunities. We just didn't finish the opportunities that we had. So, that's
what really hurt us today.

It was Skyline who got the best chance late

in the game, however, when Moncada was
tackled from behind in the penalty box. A
free kick was deferred to Brenda Gonzalez,
who buzzed a top-right shot on goal, but
CCSF keeper Hayley Walker got a hand on it
with a dive to push it out of bounds and preserve the tie.
After that goal, we didn't settle for a tie.
We kept pressing and we got opportunities,
Corsiglia said. We were very close there
with the free kick at the end.
Mikles scored CCSF's first-half goal after
several good chances. In the 22nd minute,
she found the middle of the penalty box for a
header but shot far over the crossbar. In the
25th minute, she produced CCSF's first shot
on goal of the game.
Then when Mikles got another chance in
the 43rd minute, she did not miss, breaking
through on a pass from Daisy Merida. Garcia
came out of the goal to attacking the ball, but
as she closed on her mark, Mikles found
enough daylight to punch in a cross-shot
from 10 yards out to give the Rams a 1-0
lead.
For CCSF, any combination of a win
against Chabot or an Ohlone loss Friday will
give the Rams the Coast Conference North
title.
For the Trojans, who entered the week
ranked No. 21 in the state, they now have to
win Friday if they want any chance of landing an at-large bid for the playoffs. The top
16 teams at the end of the season qualify for
the postseason.
I would assume this (tie) jumps us up into
the conversation, but Friday is now, again, a
must-win for us, Corsiglia said.
Skyline's regular-season finale kicks off at
home at 2:45 p.m.

said.
Second vice president of the San Mateo
County Blue Star Moms, Chapter 15 of the
Blue Star Mothers of America, Alotis said
outside of shipping care packages with
reminders of home to those overseas, the
nonprofit also assists the families left
behind.
I became a Blue Star Mom when
[Andrew] enlisted or joined, looking for
support, mainly to know if there were
other mothers who had the same feelings
that I had. And we have supported each
other and weve grown as a group to not
just support each other and to support our
children but also to help veterans that

have come home. And the veterans that

have come home now need the support
more than anything. It was a different life
for them, and adjusting is difficult, Alotis
said.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
has been an advocate for women in the military and supporting returning troops.
Speier said its as important as ever to recognize the families who are supporting
loved ones in the military.
Only 1 percent of the American people
serve and its very easy for us, if theyre
not in uniform, to not recognize the sacrifices being made by family members each
and every day. And these deployments are
long and theyre numerous; its not just for
one six-month or nine-month period of

time. And its an incredible sacrifice on the

family financially, emotionally and we
cant ever lose sight of that, Speier said.
Individuals whose lives have been
touched by war and military conflict
attended the cemeterys annual ceremony
as a communal opportunity to remember
those whove passed. But for many who
have sons, daughters, parents, cousins and
friends overseas, every day is marked by
their sacrifices, Alotis said.
[Its] a chance to honor veterans to
remember my family members that are veterans, Alotis said. And to come here and
just acknowledge that I dont forget, that

dont forget. Every day Im reminded of

Education. A teachers association survey

conducted earlier this year found that about
58 percent of Belmont educators were struggling to pay their mortgages and rent while
26 percent will be forced to move out of
Belmont without additional support.
Overall, the district is pleased with the

We believe the tentative agreement
keeps us competitive within the county,
Milliken said. We feel like this is great
news for the district.
The agreement states that the average
class size ratio for grades K-3 will be 24:1
to comply with the new states Local
Control Funding Formula that states that

districts that receive funding from the state

will be penalized if they go over that average. The district, which has a cap on K-3
classes of 25 students is including this 24:1
average limit since the district could switch
from a basic aid district funded by property
taxes to a revenue limit district that receives
state funding.

Teachers, unsatisfied with the negotiations process that began in 2012, previously protested. Because of their lower salaries,
Sveda previously said in an October press
release that about 25 percent of the members of the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Faculty Association have to work second
jobs to make ends meet, which hurts their
total commitment to students. The average
teacher salary in the district for the 2012-13
school year was $72,440, according to data
from the California Department of

Part of the agreement states that the district and teachers association have a mutual
interest to begin negotiations for the 201516 school year no later than Feb. 3, 2015.
It reflects our mutual agreement to not
negotiate in the past anymore, Sveda said.

Keeping the joy in whole-grain holiday baking

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When I was 5, my mom invited a

bunch of my kindergarten girlfriends
and their moms over for cookies,
cocoa and caroling to celebrate the
holidays. That tradition turned into an
annual holiday ritual, and I grew up
equating the holiday season with massive amounts of baking, particularly
cookies.
The holiday party tradition has carried on today, decades later. My four
daughters and I kick off the season by
hosting a mother-daughter tea every
year the weekend after Thanksgiving.
So this is a perfect time to explore one
of my favorite healthy baking secret
weapons white whole-wheat flour.
Let me start by clearing up any confusion about the term white wholewheat.
Despite how it sounds, the term is
not referring to bleached wheat flour.

Rather, white whole-wheat flour is

milled from a variety of wheat that has
a lighter color and less pronounced flavor than the more conventional variety used for whole wheat. The result is
a whole-grain flour that works great
for baking since the texture (soft) and
color (white) are closer to the all-purpose flour we associate with holiday
baking.
Using white whole wheat in your
baking means you can serve whole
grains to your family, even while
indulging in a sweet holiday treat. Fill
up on cookies, you ask? It has been
known to happen in our house.
Try white whole-wheat flour in my
chocolate almond crescent cookies and
youll have the added bonus of some
healthy, filling fats (almonds and
coconut oil), along with a relatively
low sugar content. And then try swapping white whole-wheat flour for part
or all of the all-purpose flour in some
your own favorite recipes.

Kenyas celebrity
chef makes fine
dining from bush
By Beatrice Larco
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, Kenya One delicious bite at a time, Kiran Jethwa

is trying to show the world that
theres more to Africa than
poverty, war and safaris.
Jethwa is what many in the
Western world consider unlikely
a celebrity chef from Africa.
But through two high-end
Nairobi restaurants and a Fox
International television series,
he is using the continents
extraordinary produce and unique
culinary traditions to open the
minds and change the palates of
curious tourists, urbane Kenyans
and bush tribesmen alike.
Its a perspective he says is
long overdue for attention.
Nothing has come out of this
region from a food perspective
that did anything any justice,
Jethwa said during a recent interview at his Seven Seafood & Grill
Restaurant tucked in a small
Nairobi mall. Anything that
does come out of this region is
either some sort of politics,
poverty, hardship, war, he said.
Any positive stuff is wildlife
and the amazing animals that
weve got. Theres nothing from
a peoples perspective.

Jethwa insists hes not trying

to revolutionize African food,
but rather pay respect to its many
and varied culinary traditions, as
well as the people who harvest
the produce and prepare it. In his
series, Tales from the Bush
Larder, now in its third season,
Jethwa visits farmers, fishermen
and tribesmen across Africa,
investigating what they harvest
and the lengths they go to get
their food to market.
Seeing what it takes to get such
ingredients to market gives you
a massive appreciation for the
amount of hard work people have
to do to produce food ... especially in this part of the world, he
says.
His goal? Put Africa on the
culinary map, and maybe teach
locals things even they didnt
know about their own food cultures. And Mark Leslie, an international commissioning editor
for Fox International Channels,
said that drive to parade the best
the continent has to offer is part
of what makes the show a success.
Film shoots from Kenya to
South Africa and countries in
between give you an insight
into big parts of Africa, which
probably most people around the

world dont really know much
about, Leslie said. You actually
get to see and learn a lot about
Africa through the subject of
food, because obviously its universal.
Like most African cuisines,
Kenyan meals can seem a bit
stodgy and simply cooked.
Jethwa tries to push the usual
eats a bit further, preparing what
he discovers in the field with a
bit of creativity and a handful of
unusual spices, often to the
amusement of locals looking on.
In one episode filmed with the
Samburu tribe in Kenya, Jethwa
made a savory pie using hare,
which the locals consider only
fit to feed dogs. And in an

episode from Kampala, Uganda,

Jethwa used an electric trap to
catch grasshoppers. But instead
of frying and salting them as is
customary, he paired them with a
sweet onion taco and guacamole.
The half-British, half-Indian
Jethwa, 38, worked in kitchens
in Britain, Ireland and the U.S.
including as head chef at
Dublins trendy The Schoolhouse
restaurant before returning to
his native Kenya to take over the
familys leather business. During
his years out of the kitchen, he
set up a film production company
with a partner, but ultimately
returned to the food industry
when he found a location in
Nairobi for his first restaurant.

Jethwa describes his cuisine as

an Afro-Mediterranean-Asian
fusion. At his two restaurants,
Jethwa doesnt cook things quite
as outlandishly as he does when
hes in the bush for the TV series.
But he still makes a point of
using the best local produce
available. It could be lobsters
direct from the coast or ugali,
the maize flour that is traditionally cooked similar to Italian
polenta. Kenyans use ugali to
scoop up with their hands what
could be considered the national
dish, sukuma wiki, literally
translated from Swahili as push
the week collard greens
cooked in oil with onions, tomatoes and sometimes beef cubes.

Hellmanns owner sues over rivals use of Mayo

By Tom Murphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You have to break some eggs to

make an omelet and, according to a
lawsuit from the maker of Hellmanns,
the same goes for mayonnaise.
The food company Unilever is suing
a California company that uses the
word Mayo in its sandwich spread
name, saying that federal regulators
and dictionaries define mayonnaise as
a spread that contains eggs.
The suit claims false advertising
by the company Hampton Creek for
labeling its plant-based product
Just Mayo. Unilever says in a complaint filed in federal court that the
word mayo implies that the product
is mayonnaise, and Just Mayo is
stealing
market
share from
Hellmanns
Consumers and cooks have an
expectation that mayonnaise should
both taste and perform like mayon-

naise. Just Mayo does neither, the

complaint states, noting that Just
Mayos oils separate when heated.
Hampton Creek CEO Josh Tetrick
said his company isnt trying to mislead consumers. It is focused on using
plants to help make everyday food
products better.
Today its mayo, tomorrow its a
cookie ... next year it will be pasta,
he said. Maybe well see big cookie
and big pasta lawsuits against us
next.
We just want to think intelligently
and more future-oriented on how we
actually feed people.
Tetrick noted that Just Mayos label
states that it is an egg-free product.
The label also features a white egg with
a plant growing in front, which the
CEO said is their way of showing that
they use plants instead of chicken
eggs.
Unilever, which also sells the Best
Foods brand, holds the biggest share
of the U.S. mayonnaise market, esti-

mated to be worth $2 billion annually,

according to market-research firm
Euromonitor. Thats more than twice
the size of the ketchup market.
A marketing professor hired by
Unilever to survey consumers found in
an online survey that more than half
thought Just Mayo was mayonnaise
when they saw the label. The professor said in a document filed last week
in the court case that 822 consumers
participated in the research.
Just Mayo reached store shelves
earlier this year as the first product
from Hampton Creek, a San
Francisco-based startup that touts the
backing of Microsoft founder Bill
Gates and Li Ka-shing, Asias wealthiest person. The spread is available at
Dollar Tree, Whole Foods and Kroger
stores, among other locations.
Hellmanns celebrated its 100th
anniversary last year. Mayonnaise
originated in France in the 1700s,
when a chef seeking to make a creamy
sauce combined oil and egg yolks.

The food company Unilever is suing a California company

that uses the word Mayo in its sandwich spread name, saying
that federal regulators and dictionaries define mayonnaise
as a spread that contains eggs.

Ten fresh ways to improve a mug of cocoa

By Alison Ladman

Start with your favorite purchased hot

cocoa mix, or make our hot cocoa. For homemade, heat 1 cup of whole milk until steaming. Sift together 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
and 1 tablespoon sugar. Whisk into the hot
milk along with 1/4 cup milk chocolate bits
until completely smooth. Add any of the following and garnish with whipped cream:
Al mo nd pral i ne: Use brown sugar in
place of the white sugar. Stir in 1 teaspoon

almond extract or 1 tablespoon amaretto

liqueur.
Hazel nut: Whisk in 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella). Add 1
tablespoon Frangelico liqueur, if desired.
Gras s ho pper: Whisk in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, to taste.
Ras pberry : Strain 1 tablespoon raspberry preserves through a fine mesh strainer.
Discard any solids, then whisk the raspberry
puree into the hot cocoa.
Chi l i : Stir in a pinch of cayenne and a
pinch of cinnamon.
Gi ng erbread: Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of
molasses and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
blend. Stir in 1 tablespoon ginger liqueur, if
desired.
Co co nut-l i me: Add the finely grated zest
of 1/2 lime and 2 tablespoons of cream of
coconut. Add 1 ounce of rum, if desired.
Ho ney -pepper: Use 1 1/2 tablespoons
of honey in place of the sugar. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Peanut butter-banana: Mash 1/2 of a
very ripe banana until smooth. Whisk into
the hot cocoa along with 1 tablespoon of
peanut butter.
Vani l l a bean chees ecake: Scrape the
seeds from a 1/2 vanilla bean pod into the
cocoa. Transfer to a blender, add 2 tablespoons cream cheese then puree until
smooth.

almond butter, coconut oil, cocoa and maple

syrup until smooth. If needed, microwave
the mixture for 10 seconds to soften.
Once the filling and dough are both ready,
on a lightly floured surface roll the dough
out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut rounds
from the dough, gathering the scraps and
rerolling as able. Place 1 teaspoon of the
almond filling in the center of each round of
dough.
Dip your finger in a small cup of water and
gently wet the edges of the dough, then fold

one side over the filling and crimp the edges

together. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, then bake until barely
golden, 12 to 13 minutes. Remove the
cookies from the oven and transfer to a rack
to cool completely. Dust with powdered
sugar before serving.

Iraqi forces retake most of strategic oil town

By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi soldiers battling the

Islamic State group recaptured most of the
town of Beiji, home to the countrys largest
oil refinery, state television and a provincial governor said Tuesday.
The strategic town, 250 kilometers (155
miles) north of Baghdad, will likely be a
base for a future push to take back Saddam
Husseins hometown just to the south, one
of the main prizes overrun by the extremists
last summer. But troops backed by Shiite
militias faced pockets of stiff resistance
around Beiji, hindering their advance.
There was no word on the fate of the refinery, which lies on Beijis northern outskirts, but the advances in the town could
help break the five-month siege of the facility by Islamic State fighters. Since June, a
small army unit inside the refinery, resupplied and reinforced by air, has successfully
resisted wave after wave of extremist
assaults.
Lifting the siege of the refinery, which
sits inside a sprawling complex, was likely
the next objective in the campaign to rid
Beiji of the militants, according to military
officials reached in the town by telephone.
Hours after news from Beiji broke, a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden
car into a military outpost in the Tarmiyah
district north of Baghdad, killing seven soldiers and wounding 13 others, according to
police and hospital officials. Those killed
included the posts commander, a major, and
two other officers, a captain and lieutenant,
they said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of the militant Sunnis of the Islamic
State group. Also, nine people were killed
and 24 injured in three separate blasts in and
around Baghdad.
State television quoted the top army commander in Beiji, Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-

Around the world

Truce deal one of
few ideas left for Syria peace
BEIRUT Traction is growing for one of
the few ideas left for peace in Syrias civil
war: Work out a series of local cease-fires to
try to quiet the bloodiest fronts around the
country, without tackling the core issues of
the conflict between President Bashar
Assads government and the rebels.
The U.N. envoy to Syria called Tuesday
for such an incremental truce in the northern
city of Aleppo as a building block for more
an idea that Assad has said is worth
studying.
The Islamic State groups onslaught has
given greater urgency to finding some sort
of solution for the nearly 4-year-old conflict. But reaching even small-scale truces
in the fragmented country of multiple,
divided fighting forces could be a near
impossible task.
Staffan de Mistura is the third U.N. envoy
to try to mediate a solution to the Syrian
war.

Saadi, as saying troops recaptured Beijis
local government and police headquarters at
the center of the town. It aired footage taken
Tuesday of army tanks and armored personnel carriers moving around the towns dusty
streets and a ball of white smoke rising in
the background.
Al-Saadi later spoke to state television by
telephone but the line appeared to be cut off
after he said his forces were meeting stiff
resistance. Three military officials later
reached by the Associated Press in the town
said the advancing army troops and Shiite
militiamen are being slowed down by
booby-trapped houses and ambushes.
Raed Ibrahim, the governor of Salahuddin
province, where both Beiji and Tikrit are
located, said the military had secured about
75 percent of the town as of Tuesday, retaking the center of the town and outlying dis-

tricts. He said government forces continued

to meet fierce resistance from the militants,
whom he said were using suicide bombers to
stall the militarys advance.
Ibrahim, speaking to the AP by telephone, also said booby-trapped buildings
posed an added threat in Beiji.
Neither the military officials nor Ibrahim
gave casualty figures for the government
forces or the militants.
The officials, however, said the forces had
blocked access to Beiji from Anbar
province, where militants control vast
swaths of land, prior to their assault on the
town to prevent militant reinforcements
from reaching the city.
The military, police and hospital officials
spoke on condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to speak to the
media.

Sterilization drive leaves

help slow the countrys population growth.
A total of 83 women, all poor villagers
under the age of 32, had the operations
Saturday in a hospital outside Bilaspur city
in the central state of Chhattisgarh. All 83
surgeries were conducted within six hours,
said the states chief medical officer, Dr.
S.K. Mandal.
That is not usual, he said, but declined
to comment further on what might have
gone wrong until autopsies are conducted on
the victims.
Each of the women had received a payment of 600 rupees, or about $10, to participate in the program, Mandal said.

Nurses at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Redwood City at a picket line protesting what they claim are patient
safety issues and a lack of Ebola protection and training.

STRIKE
Continued from page 1
in a timely manner and being discharged too soon.
Kaiser Permanente officials said the
nurses claims are not supported by
the facts and expressed disappointed
at the strike by National Nurses United
and
the
California
Nurses
Association.
We continue to be perplexed about
why the nurses union is striking. For
weeks, union leadership has claimed

BOND
Continued from page 1
To me, the only reason Im willing
to go down the bond measure avenue is
because I want to know if the public is
interested in the Black Mountain
property to turn into a park. I think
its a great piece of property and I see
a lot of potential for things there. But
thats just me. Im curious what the
rest of the public might be interested
in, Grocott told the Daily Journal.
The site is 10.5 acres on Alameda de
las Pulgas and the former location of
Black Mountain Spring Water company.
Grocott was not enthusiastic about
other possible projects like a community pool but said hed certainly abide
by public whim if there is an overwhelming majority leaning elsewhere
such as creating more downtown parking.
Other city goals are coordinating
shuttle services like Uber and Lyft;
creating a development on El Camino
Real with public parking, housing and
retail; moving most government serv-

to the public that this strike is about

Ebola. But the fact is Kaiser
Permanente is well prepared, well
trained and well equipped to handle
potential or diagnosed Ebola cases.
We have repeatedly asked union leadership to work with us on our Ebola
strategy, which they have refused to
do, Kaiser said in a statement.
Tuesdays strike is followed by a day
of action Wednesday in 14 states and
the District of Columbia regarding
Ebola safeguards. The nurses are
demanding more training protective
equipment that leaves no skin
exposed.
Nurses, who have been willing to

stand by the patients whether its the

flu, whether its Ebola, whether its
cancer, are now being asked to put
themselves in harms way unprotected, unguarded, said NNU Executive
Director Rose Ann DeMoro, in a prepared announcement of the actions.
Kaiser said it has trained staff on
using the gear and that there are differing types of protective suits, up to the
complete non-exposure level, which
are used depending on the circumstances.
The organization rescheduled some
elective procedures and non-urgent
appointments and brought in temporary staff. The strike ends Thursday.

ices online; buy the Black Mountain

property for potential open space;
building park and recreation facilities
for skating or dogs; an aquatic center
and more office space.
Mayor Mark Olbert compared the
citys exploration of a bond to his
experience doing so on the school
board, pointing out that, in the latter,
voters preferred knowing specifically
how the district wanted to spend the
money. Jared Boigon of TBWB
Strategies, which the city hired for
election consulting, said school
measures typically have a bigger
bucket of questions.
What the bond might ultimately
fund will be decided by community
meetings in January and surveys using
the phone and Internet. The move
away from land lines to cellphones
makes surveys more time consuming
to get a large enough pool so email
inquiries will also be used, said Bryan
Godbe of Godbe Research, the firm
hired for polling.
The council has until summer 2015
to decide whether to pursue the bond,
for what and how much and finalize the
ballot language.
The city last went to voters in 2009
seeking a quarter-cent sales tax for

city services. Measure U failed, leading to the city outsourcing or merging

several departments including its fire
and police services.
Grocott said he is very cautious
going forward with a bond because of
how Measure U fared. Councilman
Bob Grassilli said the past outcome is
certainly something to consider but
economic circumstances are different
now.
We were struggling. People looked
at us and said cut some stuff. There was
a different sentiment in the community. Now we have a better economy and
people want all this nice stuff. Now
well find out if they want to pay for
it, he said.
Before she decides, resident Bonnie
McClure said she first wants to know
what other expenses might be coming
down the pike such as funding a
regional sewer treatment plant. If
there are other costs or taxes to consider, she said her answer on a city
bond would be different.
When youre 83, youre very conservative about how youre going to
spend your money, McClure said. Id
like to see the city give us some education before we are asked some of
these questions.

Putins gallantry upstages Chinese host at APEC

By Didi Tang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING It was a warm gesture on a chilly night when

Vladimir Putin wrapped a shawl
around the wife of Xi Jinping
while the Chinese president chatted with Barack Obama. The only
problem: Putin came off looking
gallant, the Chinese summit host
gauche and inattentive.
Worse still were off-color jokes
that began to circulate about the
real intentions of the divorced
Russian president a heartthrob
among many Chinese women for
his macho, man-of-action image.
That was too much for the
Chinese authorities.
The incident at a performance
linked to this weeks Asia-Pacific
summit originally was broadcast
on state broadcaster CCTV and
spread online as a forwarded video.
But it was soon scrubbed clean
from the Chinese Internet, reflecting the intense control authorities
exert over any material about top
leaders while also pointing to cultural differences over whats considered acceptable behavior in
public.
China is traditionally conservative on public interaction
between unrelated men and
women, and the public show of
consideration by Putin may provide fodder for jokes, which the
big boss probably does not like,
said Beijing-based historian and
independent commentator Zhang
Lifan.
Xis wife, Peng Liyuan, was
once a popular folk singer more
famous than her husband, and in

REUTERS

Russias President Vladimir Putin, right, helps put a blanket on Peng Liyuan, second right, wife of Chinas President
Xi Jinping, second left, as Xi talks to Barack Obama during a lights and fireworks show to celebrate Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation Leaders Meeting, at National Aquatics Center, or Water Cube, in Beijing, China.

Obamas bid for new China ties cant quell tension

By Julie Pace
BEIJING When Xi Jinping
took the reins of a booming
China two years ago, President
Barack Obama saw an opportunity to remake Americas relationship with the Asian power. But
even after Obamas unusually
robust efforts to forge personal

ties with Xi, the two leaders are

meeting in Beijing amid significant tensions, both old and new.
Xi has consolidated power
since taking office, deepened
Chinas provocative maritime
disputes with its neighbors and
stands accused of continuing
cyberattacks against the United
States. U.S. officials have new
concerns over the potential for a

crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and are warily watching Beijing strengthen
ties with Moscow as the West distances itself from Russia.
For its part, Beijing remains
skeptical of Obamas intentions
in Asia, seeing his efforts to bolster U.S. economic ties in the
region as a way of countering
Chinas rise.

contrast to her predecessors she

has taken on a much more public
role, prominently joining her

husband on trips abroad as part of

Chinas soft power push to seek
global status commensurate with

its economic might.

Propaganda officials have built
the image of Xi and his wife as a

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

loving couple. Photos of Xi

shielding his wife from rain on a
state visit, picking flowers for
her, or simply holding her hand
have circulated widely on Chinas
social media, prompting much
oohing and aahing.
When the president personally
held up the umbrella for the
madam, it complies with the international norm of respecting
women, blogger Luo Qingxue
wrote on the news site for the
party-run newspaper Peoples
Daily last year after Xi was seen
holding an umbrella over himself
and Peng on a state visit to
Trinidad and Tobago.
But Putin messed up the script
Monday night while Xi chatted
with the American president.
In the video, Peng stood up,
politely accepted the gray shawl
or blanket offered by Putin, and
thanked him with a slight bow.
But she soon slipped it off and put
on a black coat offered by her own
attendant.
It spawned a flurry of commentary on Chinas social media
before censors began removing
any mention of the incident.
Li Xin, director of Russian and
central Asian studies at Shanghai
Institute for International Studies,
said Putin was just being a proper
Russian and did nothing out-ofline diplomatically.
Its a tradition in Russia for a
man of dignity to respect ladies on
public occasions, and in a cold
country like Russia, it is very normal that a gentleman should help
ladies take on and off their coats,
Li said. But the Chinese may not
be accustomed to that.
