City considers how to improve street network

San Mateos Sustainable Streets Plan in draft stage, up for comment
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Whether you walk, bike or

drive, San Mateos Sustainable
Streets Plan seeks to address your
needs.
On Monday, the City Council
reviewed a draft of the plan that
incorporates ways to enhance
safety, prepare for future transportation demands and implement

green street features that divert

stormwater runoff.
After receiving a $300, 000
Caltrans grant in 2012, the city of
San Mateo embarked on a study
and community outreach then
drafted a plan meant to help guide
the future of the citys transit system. Over the past two weeks, the
Public Works, Sustainability and
Planning commissions have
responded favorably to the pro-

posed plan created under the guidance of Ken Chin, Public Works
project manager.
No document better illustrates
the future of San Mateo that I
want, Councilman Joe Goethals
said. In one document, youre
talking about everything from
green street features that are going
to divert stormwater from our

City seeking
incremental
ECR changes
Burlingame: Widening
street, removing trees
should be a last resort
By Angela Swartz

MICHELLE DURAND/DAILY JOURNAL

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The city of Burlingame is continuing to pursue asking Caltrans

to seek incremental changes to an
intersection that the transportation agency says has a higher leftturn related collision rate than the
statewide average before jumping
to doing nothing or widening and
installing two dedicated left-turn
lanes.
The California Department of
Transportation has proposed,
other than not modifying the road,
widening El Camino Real in the
intersection area from its current
width of 40 feet to 60 feet, and
tapering back to its current 40foot width at Oak Grove Avenue
and toward Bellevue Avenue.
Caltrans would install two new
opposing dedicated left-turn lanes
on El Camino Real at Floribunda
Avenue for northbound and south-

Hundreds of in-home health care

workers crowded the Board of
Supervisors meeting Tuesday
morning demanding their first
wage hike since 2007 and five
were arrested for refusing to abide
by a sheriffs lieutenants order to
disperse.
The regularly scheduled meeting
was on hold and county supervisors out of their chambers when
Sheriffs Lt. Tim Reid repeatedly
read a statement about unlawful
assembly and asked the chanting
and sign-waving crowd of union
officials and In-Home Support
Services providers to clear the
room. As part of the planned civil
disobedience, five individuals
remained sitting cross-legged in
front of the dais yelling slogans
like no justice, no peace and
hey, hey, ho, ho, poverty wages
have to go.
Deputies handcuffed the five
behind closed chamber doors but
later walked them into the foyer
for transfer to the county jail

large number also marched the

Central Park to host ice skating next year

San Mateo will upgrade electrical system for temporary winter rink
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A temporary ice rink could be

coming to downtown San Mateo

for next years holiday season

after the City Council approved
upgrades to Central Parks electrical system to accommodate the
plans.

Although the City Council had

hoped to spice up the baseball
field at the downtown park on the
corner of El Camino Real and Fifth
Avenue this year, the current elec-

trical system is unable to support

a rink, according to a city staff
report.

Taxi drivers protest at airport

Police reports
School of hard knocks

Concern and anger over app-based ride services

By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Angry over the recent decision to allow

transportation network companies like
Uber, Lyft and Sidecar to operate at San
Francisco International Airport, a taxi drivers union staged a protest there Monday
night.
The protest clogged up airport traffic as
taxis circled the terminals rather than
reporting to the assigned taxi parking lot
where they would be dispatched to pick up
passengers, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel
said.
He said taxi drivers were permitted to hold
a picket at the airport and about 20 people
did do that, but the vehicular action was not
sanctioned by the airport.
Between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., the circling
drivers made it a hassle for travelers to get
in and out of SFO and people hoping to
catch cabs were lining up on the curbs, at

times with as many as 15 or 20 travelers

waiting for a ride, Yakel said.
From a customer standpoint, this is
probably going to cause some customers to
look for other forms of transportation,
Yakel said.
Taxi drivers claim that companies like
Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, referred to as TNCs in
California Public Utilities Commission
regulations established last year, are not
required to follow the same strict regulations as taxis despite providing the same
service and should not be allowed to conduct
business at the airport.
The CPUC paved the way for TNCs to
begin airport operations last year when it
created regulations requiring them to get
permits at airports. SFO became the first
California airport to allow the companies to
work there last month when it granted permits to Sidecar, then Uber, Lyft and Wingz.
One point of contention in the new permits is that taxi drivers have to pay a fee of

as much as $4 for each trip to the airport

while the TNCs have a flat $3.85 fee for
each pickup, San Francisco Cab Drivers
Association board member Ashwani Aeri
said.
But Yakel said the $4 fee is only for
longer trips and that shorter trips to nearby
areas like Millbrae only carry a $2 fee,
while the $3.85 fee is the same as for limousine services.
We see the TNCs as more similar in business concept to a limo company because
they work with prearranged stops and not
curbside pickups, Yakel said.
He could not elaborate on how the length
of a trip is determined or when the taxis pay
the fees.
More broadly, taxi drivers are protesting
the stricter regulations for taxis on the local
and state level and formed the San Francisco
Cab Drivers Association in August in
response to the steep decline in cab rides
after TNCs started operating.

Off the Grid gets yearly review

Event will likely continue, but merchants head wants it moved
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Most city officials are giving sparkling

accounts of Off the Grid on Broadway for its
one-year review, but brick-and-mortar merchants of the downtown district are not
happy about the food trucks taking away
business.
The merchants association recently has
been working with the city to lift a moratorium that limits the number of restaurants
and other food establishments, but the city
stated a traffic study must come before this
change can be made. John Kevranian, owner
of Nuts for Candy on Broadway and president
of
the
Broadway
Business
Improvement District, contends bringing in
the food trucks didnt require a traffic study
before coming in, but the land, the train station parking lot on which they are located
on Tuesday nights, is owned by Caltrain.
We still have a parking impact on
Tuesday nights, Kevranian said. The city
of Burlingame knows where we stand.
Off the Grid features street food vendors
and began operating in the parking lot at
the Broadway Caltrain station on Thursday
nights in fall 2013. In December 2013, the
City Council considered a proposal from the
Broadway Business Improvement District to
move Off the Grid to Broadway between
Chula Vista and Capuchino avenues on
Tuesday nights for a 90-day trial period to
bring customers back to the main street.
Ultimately, the council voted 4-1, with former Councilman Jerry Deal voting no, to
ask Caltrain to renew the contract at the

Comment on

parking lot location since the majority of
the council and community members agreed
there were too many negatives to the move.
The traffic, if Broadway were closed for Off
the Grid, could be a potential nightmare for
congestion and safety issues, police said.
Off the Grid said Tuesday nights havent
been as successful for their trucks as
Thursday nights were, but is committed to
staying in Burlingame. Turnout at its
Burlingame event ranges from 300 to 500600 people depending on the week, said Ben
Himlan, director of business development
for Off the Grid.
According to an Off the Grid survey, 8 out
of 10 surveyed were more likely to return to
the neighborhood after attending an Off the
Grid event and are drawn by diverse food
options and a family friendly atmosphere.
The Burlingame location rotates 18 vendors
through nine slots, with eight savory
options and one dessert. There is a biweekly
rotated schedule. The company shared at a
Monday night City Council review that
Irene Preston of Prestons Candy & Ice
Cream on Broadway gave a cooking demo at
Off the Grid and said this is a great way of
promoting the local businesses.

the market interesting, he said. Prestons

Vote update shows Bernardo wins

re-election to Harbor District board

Local briefs
The resident reported a
man came to his door and
said he was with the construction crew next door
and that they had broken
a water main. The man
then asked permission to
check all the faucets for
pressure. He checked
faucets in the bathrooms
and kitchen and, at some point, stole the
residents wallet, according to police.
The man was described as heavy-set,
Hispanic and wearing a black jacket and dark
gray pants. Investigators confirmed the
man was not part of the construction crew
next door and that he matched the description of a suspect in a similar crime that took
place Jan. 28. In that case, the suspect said
he was with the water department and needed
to check inside for pressure. Once inside, he
stole jewelry from the residence, according
to police.
A sketch from the January case was shown
to the resident of Woodstock Road and he
confirmed it as a positive match, according
to police.
In addition, the Burlingame Police
Department had a similar case 11:20 a.m.
Tuesday on the 3000 block of Arguello
Drive. The suspect in Burlingame case had a
very similar description as the suspect in
the Hillsborough case, according to police.
Anyone with information on any of these
crimes is asked to contact the Hillsborough
Police Department at (650) 375-7470. If
you have residential video surveillance systems and live in the area of Woodstock
Road, please review your footage and share
any information with us that could help
identify this suspect.

Updated voter numbers posted Tuesday

afternoon indicated Robert Bernardo solidified his lead over Jim
Tucker for the second seat

Office showed a 302 vote
lead for Bernardo on
Robert
Friday. This is the final
Bernardo
vote tally for this election. Tucker had conceded last week. The
final tally has challenger Nicole David with
66,964 votes, or 32.1 percent; Bernardo
with 48,340 votes, or 23.2 percent; and
Tucker with 48,048 votes, or 23 percent.
There are two open seats on the board. Both
Bernardo and Tucker are incumbents.
Tucker has a long history of public service having spent 16 years on the Harbor
District Board of Commissioners and multiple terms as mayor of Daly City.
For the one contested two-year seat, charter boat captain Tom Mattusch ousted
appointed incumbent Will Holsinger.

Hillsborough police are on the lookout
for a man who stole a wallet by pretending
to be with a construction crew that reportedly had broken a water main Tuesday afternoon.

Hillsborough police responded to a residence on the 600 block of Woodstock Road
on the report of a suspicious circumstance.

Not guilty plea in backyard

Spikes was not arrested in Sacramento
until Oct. 9. Prosecutors believe the murder was sparked by an argument over
mo n ey. Sp i k es , Brack en ri dg e and the
woman were reportedly in the Skyline

Drive
backyard
of
Brackenridges parents.
As the argument escalated, a man later identified as Sp ik es sto o d
over Brackenridge with
a gun and shot him first
in the abdomen and then
the head, according to
Demond Spikes prosecutors.
Brackenridges mother, watching from the home, yelled out
and was shot herself when the gunman
fired through the glass sliding door. Daly
City police responded at 5:50 a. m. but
darkness from the early hour made it
impossible for the mother to identify the
shooter.
The woman alleged to have accompanied Spikes was fatally shot in Oakland in
an unrelated incident.
Spikes remains in custody without bail
and if convicted, could receive a life term
because he has two prior violent felony
convictions.

Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield

criticized for doctor networks Bank robber incompetent for trial
By Judy Lin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Anthem Blue Cross

and Blue Shield of California, two of
Californias largest health insurers, misled
customers about the number of doctors in
their networks under plans sold through the
states insurance marketplace, according to
a state report released Tuesday.
The California Department of Managed
Health Care began investigating in May
after patients complained they were told
that certain medical providers were included when they chose a health plan, only to
find out after their appointment that their
doctor was not part of their network.
Seeing an out-of-network doctor increases
costs significantly for patients.
About 200 complaints were filed against
the companies earlier this year based on
plans sold through Covered California, the
entity created to carry out the provisions of
the federal Affordable Care Act.
The department cited the insurers for various deficiencies in how they publicized
their physician networks. It found the
insurers online provider directories listed
physicians that were outside their networks and that they failed to correct inaccuracies. They issued statements that were

Anthem and Blue Shield say the states
survey is flawed and noted that doctors were
not obligated to participate in the survey.
The insurers said there is often confusion
within doctors offices about which health
plans they accept.
The state relied on an unsound methodology to obtain its raw data, and then made
misleading and inappropriate conclusions
based on inaccurate data, Anthem wrote in
its response to the states findings.
Both insurers have acknowledged they
made mistakes but say they have tried to
fix them and have added thousands of new
providers. Anthem spokesman Darrel Ng
said the health plan followed up with the
doctors who said they didnt accept the
plan and found that 99 percent had contracts with the insurer.
Were not saying that everything is perfect, he said. Weve taken great steps to
try to remedy that situation.
There are 10 private health plans selling

On Monday night, the City Council
approved spending up to $150,000 for
Pacific Gas and Electric to install a new
transformer and prepare to work with seasonal rink provider Peter Mott, known for
operating rinks in Napa, San Rafael and
Walnut Creek, according to the report.
We think this is another wonderful
opportunity to keep downtown San Mateo
at the forefront of Bay Area downtowns
and the holiday ice rinks have become
very popular over the last few years,
Councilman David Lim said. I think it
would be a nice thing to draw in additional
families and people into our downtown for
the holidays.
Lim said as enthusiastic as the council is

opportune locale. The ballpark could provide space for food vendors and entertainment while the bleachers surrounding

arrangement for spectators, according to

the report.
Temporary rinks typically operate for
two months during mid-November to midJanuary and are typically open from 2 p.m.
to 9 p.m. on weekdays with extended hours
on weekends and during school breaks,
according to the report. Mott also
expressed an interest in hiring local teens
and adults to monitor the rink and concessions under the supervision of his experienced managers, according to the report.
Users would pay a nominal skating fee
and some of the operating costs could
involve community fundraising, City
Manager Larry Patterson said in an email.
The city is taking notes from Motts seasonal rink in Napa and expects to outline
more specifics by early next year,
Patterson said.
The operator would be responsible for
fabricating and installing the rinks elements such as ice mats, chillers and space
for skate rentals and storage for a
Zamboni. But turning Central Park into a
winter wonderland requires San Mateo to
upgrade its electrical system to host the
seasonal service.

Using portable generators was not a

feasible alternative due to the cost of
fuel, Patterson said. The new system
will provide the capacity to support other
events as well and even if it needs to be
relocated will be valuable within the
Central Park Master Plan improvements.
San Mateo is in the process of amending
the parks 1982 plan and is considering
constructing a performance area or stage
to host events and upgrading its recreation center.
Despite the citys vision for next winter, there appears to be little relief for
those seeking year-round ice skating
opportunities in San Mateo as negotiations over reopening the Bridgepointe
Shopping Centers rink are at a standstill.

obtained through a Public Records Act

request a meeting.
Enlivening Central Park with an ice
rink during the 2015 holiday season,
albeit temporary, would provide the community an especially festive experience,
Lim said.
I think the holiday ice rink concept
really is designed to give people not only
recreational opportunities, but really a
holiday event to create good memories to
last a lifetime, Lim said. To see little
kids and how much fun they have and people get to dress up in their winter gear ... I
think it would just be a really festive thing

conducted for Off the Grid since it is bringing in about 500 people weekly.
Off the Grid works to develop markets that

with the Broadway Caltrain location since

Reid urges Obama to act

quickly on immigration

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks during a press

conference after the House Democrats voted for their
leadership on Capitol Hill.

House Democrats again

choose Pelosi as leader
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Rep. Nancy Pelosi overcame gripes

about Democrats losing campaign messages and breezed to
re-election Tuesday as House minority leader.
Meeting behind closed doors, Democrats used a voice
vote to give Pelosi, D-Calif., her seventh two-year term as
their House leader. The rest of the partys top leadership in
the chamber, including No. 2 leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.,
was also re-elected.
Pelosi and her lieutenants faced no challengers. But just
two weeks after an Election Day that deepened their minority status they lost at least a dozen House seats some
said their party had done a poor job of persuading middleclass voters that Democrats were on their side.
We need a full-blown discussion of who we are, where
were going, what are our priorities. If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority, said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J.
Its all of our faults, not just the leadership.
We should have stayed on message and not walked away
from the successes of this president, said Rep. Donald
Payne Jr., D-N.J. Many Democratic candidates distanced
themselves from President Barack Obama, who is deeply
unpopular in some regions.
Pelosi has been House Democratic leader since 2003,
including a four-year stint as the first female House speaker.
Theyve not been in the majority since 2010, and Pelosi
said it was time for Democrats to focus more sharply on middle-class needs.
What we want are initiatives that help the American people, that reduce the anxiety because it reduces the income
disparity between lower earners and the wealthy, Pelosi
told reporters.
Touching on the need that Democrats see to improve their
message, she said that while its important to address peoples needs, its another thing, also, to make sure the public understands what is going on.

WASHINGTON Senate Majority

Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that
President Barack Obama should take
executive action as quickly as possible
to remake the nations immigration
system.
It was a shift from last week when
Reid said Obama should wait to act
until Congress had completed work on
must-pass spending legislation to fund
the government into next year.
I believe that when the president
decides to do his executive order, he
should go big, as big as he can, Reid
told reporters on Capitol Hill, adding
that he had spoken with Obama on
Monday. I said he should do something as quickly as he can.
However, other Democrats suggested
Obama should wait, amid some concern that Obamas unilateral action on
immigration could impede progress on
a spending bill that Congress must
pass by Dec. 11 to keep the government running.
She doesnt want anything to get in
the way of getting an omnibus
approved, said Vincent Morris,

I wish he would let the process work

said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont.
The White House has not said when
Obama will act, but activists and
Democrats expect it could come as

early as this week. The president is

expected to take administrative steps
to protect as many as 5 million people
in the country illegally from deportation, and grant them work permits.

No on Keystone pipeline but GOP vows replay

By David Espo and Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a combustible
blend of oil and politics, the
Democratic-controlled Senate rejected
legislation Tuesday night to force
completion of the Keystone XL
Pipeline. Republicans vowed to resurrect the controversial issue soon after
taking two-house control of Congress
in January.
The 59-41 Senate vote was one
short of the 60 needed to clear the
House-passed measure, and marked a
severe blow to embattled Sen. Mary
Landrieu of Louisiana. While
President Barack Obama and much of
her party oppose the bill, the third-

term Democrat had

c o m m a n de e r e d
control of the
chambers agenda
in hopes of securing approval of the
project and boosting her chances in
an uphill Dec. 6
runoff election.
Mitch
All 45 Senate
McConnell
Republicans supported the legislation to build the
Canada-to-Texas pipeline. Only 14 of
55 Democrats and allied independents
joined them, a total that didnt budge
despite an appeal by the Louisiana
Democrat behind closed doors a few
hours before the vote.

The vote was one of the last acts of

this Senate controlled by the
Democrats. It is expected to complete
its work by mid-December.
But Republicans said a pipeline
replay with the potential to spark a
veto confrontation with Obama would
be coming and soon.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and
the incoming majority leader, said
within minutes of the vote, I look
forward to the new Republican majority taking up and passing the Keystone
jobs bill early in the new year.
Her political career in jeopardy,
Landrieu told reporters, Im going to
fight for the people of my state until
the day that I leave, and I hope that
will not be soon.

Israel vowing harsh

retaliation following
attackonsynagogue
By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Israel vowed

harsh retaliation Tuesday for a
Palestinian attack that killed five
people and left blood-smeared
prayer books and shawls on the
floor of a synagogue in Jerusalem
an assault that sharply escalated already-high tensions after
weeks of religious violence.
The attack during morning
prayers in the west Jerusalem
neighborhood of Har Nof was carried out by two Palestinian
cousins wielding meat cleavers,
knives and a handgun. They were
shot to death by police after the
deadliest assault in the holy city
since 2008.
Four of the dead were rabbis and
one was a police officer who died
of his wounds hours after the
attack. Three of the rabbis were
born in the United States and the
fourth was born in England,
although all held dual Israeli citizenship. Five others were wounded.
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas condemned the attack, the
first time he has done so in the
wave of deadly violence against
Israelis. But he also called for an
end to Israeli provocations sur-

rounding Jerusalems shrines that

are sacred to both Muslims and
Jews.
President Barack Obama called
the attack horrific and without
justification, urging cooperation
from both sides to ease tensions
and adding that too many Israelis
and Palestinians have died in
recent months,
Tuesdays attack, however,
appeared to mark a turning point,
with the gruesome scene in a
house of worship shocking a
nation long accustomed to violence.
The government released a
photo of a meat cleaver it said
came from the crime scene.
Government video showed bloodsoaked prayer books and prayer
shawls in the synagogue. A pair
of glasses lay under a table, and
thick streaks of blood smeared the
floor.
I saw people lying on the floor,
blood everywhere, said Yosef
Posternak, who was at the synagogue in the quiet neighborhood
that has a large community of
English-speaking immigrants.
People were trying to fight
with (the attackers) but they didnt
have much of a chance, Posternak
told Israel Radio.

U.N. push against North Korea on rights moves ahead

By Cara Anna
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The

worlds boldest effort yet to hold
North Korea and leader Kim Jong
Un accountable for alleged crimes
against humanity moved forward
Tuesday at the United Nations,
where a Pyongyang envoy threatened further nuclear tests.
The U.N. General Assemblys
human rights committee approved
a resolution that urges the Security
Council to refer the countrys

harsh human rights situation to the

International Criminal Court. The
non-binding resolution now goes
to the General Assembly for a vote
in the coming weeks. China and
Russia, which hold veto power on
the council, voted against it.
The resolution was inspired by a
groundbreaking U.N. commission
of inquiry report early this year
that declared North Koreas human
rights situation exceeds all others
in duration, intensity and horror.
The idea that their young leader
could be targeted by prosecutors

sent North Korean officials on a

furious campaign to derail the
effort, finding it a potential embarrassment and threat to his carefully
choreographed image.
North Korea sent a sharp warning in comments before the vote.
Trying to punish it over human
rights is compelling us not to
refrain any further from conducting
nuclear tests, said Choe Myong
Nam, a foreign ministry adviser for
U.N. and human rights issues. His
colleagues gave no details on that
threat.

ing the recent violence and said

the Palestinian leaders condemnation of the attack was insufficient.
Hamas, the militant Palestinian
group that runs the Gaza Strip,
praised the attack. In Gaza, dozens
celebrated in the streets, with
some offering trays full of candy.
The U. S. -born victims were
identified as Moshe Twersky, 59,
Aryeh Kupinsky, 43, and Kalman
Levine, 55. The Israeli Foreign
Ministry said the British man was
Avraham Goldberg, 68, who

immigrated to Israel in 1993.

It described the four as rabbis,
an honorific title in the ultraOrthodox world given to men who
are considered pious and learned.
Twersky, a native of Boston, was
the head of the Toras Moshe
Yeshiva, a seminary for Englishspeaking students. He was the son
of Rabbi Isador Twersky, founder
of Harvard Universitys Center for
Jewish Studies, and a grandson
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, a
luminary in the world of modern
Orthodox Jewry.

Spain symbolically
recognizes Palestinian state

Around the world

MADRID Spains Parliament

has overwhelmingly approved a
largely symbolic resolution that
recognizes a Palestinian state.
The non-binding resolution follows moves in other European
countries intended to push for a
two-state solution to the IsraeliPalestinian conflict.
The vote Tuesday night was 319
in favor with two opposed and one
abstention.
Britain and Ireland approved
similar motions last month.
Swedens new left-leaning govern-

ment went further and officially

recognized a Palestinian state Oct.
30 prompting Israel to withdraw its ambassador from
Stockholm.
The European efforts reflect
growing international impatience
with Israels nearly half-century
control of the West Bank, east
Jerusalem and its blockade of the
Gaza Strip.
The Socialist opposition party
that presented the resolution condemned the killing Tuesday of four
people in a Jerusalem synagogue
by two Palestinian cousins.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The future of UC

anet Napolitano, president of

the University of California,
has drilled a small bore under
Gov. Jerry Browns well-constructed
house of nancial austerity he built
next to the states wall of debt.
Napolitano unveiled a plan earlier
this month that would raise the
tuition cost of a UC education up to 5
percent over the next ve years in
part because the state has not funded
the world-renowned university system
to her liking. It also breaks a 2013
deal in which tuition hikes were
frozen while the state provides funding increases of 4 percent to 5 percent.
This, however, comes on the heels
of a series of tuition increases for
years prior when the state was contending with a severe budget shortfall. By threatening to increase
tuition, Napolitano is basically saying the state needs to pony up more
to fund the UC system or it will get
pricier for the average student.
Brown has built himself up as a frugal manager of the states nances,
despite his long-term vision of wanting two enormous public works projects high-speed rail and the Delta
tunnels to proceed quickly on his
watch. And he has constructed his frugal statehouse based on deals that

Editorial
give him the time to do what he
wants. However, Proposition 30 was
largely constructed to placate the education crowd in K-12 and, in part,
community colleges, with its sales
and income tax increases that are estimated to raise between $6.8 billion
and $8 billion a year.
What would a 5 percent increase in
tuition look like? It is currently
$12,192 and would be raised to an
estimated $15,563 in 2019-20. Outof-state students would pay more
$36,828 next year and rising to
$44,766 by 2019-20 under
Napolitanos proposal.
For in-state students, it may not
seem like a lot. But consider how
much tuition has grown since the
1980s when a UC education could be
had for under $1,000 a year. The UC
system at one time was a grand idea to
provide an institution for the states
young people to get a high quality
education for a minimal cost.
Unfortunately, it, like many other
government institutions has been
aficted by increasing salary and pension costs for its workers specically professors. Attracting and

retaining the best and the brightest is

always a worthwhile goal, but it is
often difcult to achieve in the public
sector particularly when the private sector often offers considerably
higher pay and benets for those best
and brightest minds.
Essentially, the UC system, and the
state government that helps to fund
it, is at a crossroads. Does it seek to
retain its original goal of being a
world-renowned institution that
retains its affordability for the average Californian? Or does it become a
world-renowned institution with
prices to match?
If the current tuition freeze is maintained, it will likely spike once its
over so Napolitano is suggesting that
moderate and planned increases be
enacted to avoid that spike. However,
suggesting as much could force Brown
and the Legislature to come up with an
alternative plan to ll that hole under
their nancial house before it collapses. And the students who depend on
the UC system to give them the foundation for their future livelihood are
left waiting to see what happens.
Investing state revenue into the UC
system is not just investing in the
system itself, it is investing in the
next generation of Californians and
the very future of our state.

Mateo Adult School is near my home.
Its not very expensive, and the
instructors are very good, but it is not
only that. My English has improved
greatly in the few weeks that Ive been
at the school. There are many immigrants who cannot afford a more
expensive school, and denying them
entry into the school will block them
from integrating into life in the United
States, and block them from getting a
job in the local community.

plans that are managed by professionals who can and will be red if they do
not meet expectations for investment
targets. Politicians have been bellyaching and pushing this stinky can
down the road but nobody has put their
career on the line stating they will
make it happen. It is time to get control over those long-term pension and
retirement liabilities.
Lets start off with having all new

however, a bike onboard the train is

clearly the most effective. According
to a recent Caltrain survey, over 90
percent of customers who bike to the
station bring a bike onboard.
DeFelice correctly notes that a bicycle onboard takes the space of one
seat, but that is only part of the picture. First- and last-mile connections
can be very expensive, and a bicycle
on the train does not contribute to this
expense. A seat on a bus or shuttle is
subsidized more than a bike space on
the train, and driving to the station
takes up a parking space all day long
on some of the most expensive real
estate in the country. When rst- and
last-mile connections are included, a
bike onboard the train is an economical transportation solution. For
details, please see
http://tinyurl.com/SFBC-Plan.
Caltrain is purchasing more
Bombardier cars to alleviate peak period crowding. We encourage Caltrain to
congure these new cars as bike cars,
which will add over 110 seats and 24
bike spaces to each Bombardier train
set to meet the needs of all Caltrain
customers.

Since the Nov. 4 election, Ive been talking to a few
friends, reading newspapers and recalling a couple of excellent new books that are especially relevant in relation to the
results. Most of the people I know were disappointed and
confused as to why so many more Republicans were elected
to the Senate and why President Obama doesnt do better on
the popularity polls. Add the question of why so many
Republicans voted to increase the minimum wage while they
voted for their partys other interests.
Is this because they have lost faith in the Democrats to
bring this about? Could it be that in spite of the fact that
President Obama cites statistics that the economy has
improved, more jobs are available, etc. that a great many
people are still nding themselves without decent jobs, are
deeply in debt and see no light at the end of the tunnel?
William Deresiewitz writes in his very provocative new
book, Xcellent Sheep, If
politics is the art of the possible, Obamas future as a
leader is precisely his conception of what is possible,
his meek acceptance of the
status quo. Maybe its
painful to hear President
Obama extol the improvements in the economy when
you are desperately struggling to make ends meet.
Almost two-thirds of
working Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
And theyre worried sick
about whether their kids will ever make it. They need leaders
who understand their plight instead of denying it. They
deserve politicians who want to x it rather than blame it on
those who have to depend on public assistance, or who need
a higher minimum wage, to get by. At the very least, they
need leaders who empathize with what theyre going
through, not those with Empathy Decit Disorder.
Robert Reich, San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 2, 2014.
It would have been great if the Democrats would have presented a really strong social platform to voters. It makes
you wonder if they were afraid of disturbing their corporate
benefactors that were dumping money into their campaigns
as a result of Citizens United. Or maybe it was implied that
they would get the support only if they avoided or pushed
some issue that might affect the corporations bottom line.
With so many issues for which they could have taken a
stand, so many problems facing America today, it would
have been better if they would have shown us that they had
enough backbone to stand up for what they believe is
important for the well-being of all. Are they so lacking in
empathy that they are so out of touch with voters that they
have no clue? Seems there was little discussion of important
issues affecting those who are in need and suffering from
lack of employment or underemployment, horrendous college expenses, the increasing chasm between the 1 percent
and the middle class, etc.
I recommend Bob Herberts Losing Our Way to anyone
interested in our countrys future. The former New York
Times columnist writes: The challenges are enormous and
America needs to rein its raging inequality. In an era of
global warming, it needs creative new approaches to safeguarding the environment. Workers need protection from
tyranny of employers. Students need easier, more affordable
access to higher education. The nations physical plant
needs to be rebuilt, the economy revived and the banking
system reformed. And the overwhelming inuence of big
money in politics needs to be drastically curtailed.
These deciencies have come about because of way too
many of those in politics who have focused mainly on their
own self-interest, catering to special interests instead of
tuning into the needs of the people. Its very sad that only
about one-third of eligible voters cast a ballot. Have too
many Americans become so cynical about our government
that they didnt vote? Are too many so engrossed in their
own cluttered lives that they didnt bother? Was there nothing on the democratic slate that they could relate to?
Is it any wonder that our country itself has appeared to
lose all sense of purpose, when our leaders have none of
their own? Once, we dreamed of eliminating poverty, winning the Cold War, reaching the moon, ensuring racial justice, creating a more equitable society. Now what? What
large national project are we pursuing or even thinking of
pursuing? So much freedom. So much wealth and power.
Such technological sophistication. But in the end, to what
end? Deresiewitz.
Maybe it had something to do with what Dana Milbank of
The Washington Post wrote recently: It is the very essence
of the American dream: an irrepressible condence that our
children will live better than we do. Now it is gone.

Business briefs
Heating costs heading up as cold grips nation
NEW YORK The cold is back, and with it, rising heating bills.
This winter was expected to bring much lower bills than
last year because it wasnt supposed to be so darn cold.
Homeowners could go a little easier on the thermostat, and
less fuel use would offset rising prices for natural gas and
electricity, which generates heat for 88 percent of U.S.
households.
Then, descending from the Arctic, came a block of cold air
nearly the size of the entire Lower 48. This month is now on
track to be the coldest November since 1996.
It came in hard and strong, pretty impressive stuff, says
Matt Rogers, a meteorologist at the Commodity Weather
Group, which forecasts weather and heating demand for
energy companies.

Netflix expanding to Australia, New Zealand

LOS GATOS Netflix says it plans to expand into
Australia and New Zealand in March.
The online movie and television provider said Tuesday
that details on pricing will be available later.
The Los Gatos-based company has about 53 million subscribers in the U.S. and internationally.

Investors remained in a record-setting mood Tuesday, edging the Dow

Jones industrial average and Standard
& Poors 500 index to their latest alltime highs.
Pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies led the broad pickup
in stocks, extending gains for the S&P
500 and Dow. The Nasdaq notched its
first gain this week.
A positive outlook from homebuilders and encouraging news from
Japan and Germany also helped lift
markets.
The rally builds on a market rebound
in recent weeks powered by strong corporate earnings and easing concerns
among investors about the spread of
Ebola and economic growth overseas.
Weve gotten good news on all of
the worries since mid-October and we
had much better-than-expected earnings, said Kate Warne, an investment
strategist at Edward Jones. As a
result, its not surprising were seeing
a series of record highs.
The major stock indexes opened flat
on Monday, but quickly began to rise.
Germanys ZEW measure of investor

sentiment showed an improvement in

November after 10 months of declines,
allaying worries about a slowing economy and lifting European markets.
Developments in Japan, whose
economy slipped into recession in the
third quarter, provided some relief.
Tokyos benchmark Nikkei index
rose 2.2 percent amid expectations,
later confirmed, that Japans government will delay a sales tax hike that
was planned for next year.
U.S. stocks also got a boost from an
increase in a measure of U.S. homebuilders confidence, which rebounded
in November as both sales expectations and buyer traffic improved.
The indexes continued to build on
their gains throughout the day as
investors piled into health care
stocks. Pharmaceutical giant Actavis
led all stocks in the S&P 500, vaulting
8. 7 percent. Medical device maker
Medtronic climbed 3.3 percent.
The energy sector lagged the rest of
the market as the price of oil resumed
its slide.
All told, the S&P 500 index added
10. 48 points, or 0. 5 percent, to
2,051.80. Its previous closing high
was set Monday.
The Dow rose 40.07 points, or 0.2

percent, to 17,687.82. Thats just 0.2

percent higher than its most recent
record close last Thursday.
The Nasdaq composite gained 31.44
points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,702.44.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 notched gains, led by health care
stocks. The sector is up 23.5 percent
this year. Telecommunications stocks
declined.
On Oct. 15 the S&P 500 nearly fell
into a correction, a trading term for a
drop of 10 percent or more from a
recent peak. The market has mostly
risen since then.
The rise in Actavis came a day after
the company agreed to buy Botoxmaker Allergan for $66 billion.
Actavis rose $21.66 to $269.60.
Actavis is up strong, so that suggests its a better take on the merger
deal, as people get more into the
details of it, said Warne.
Medtronic shares ended up $3.28 at
$72.47.
Investors kept rewarding strong
company earnings.
Solar power products company JA
Solar jumped 8. 8 percent after it
reported better-than-expected quarterly
financial results. The stock added 69
cents to $8.49.

Toyota to start sales of fuel cell car next month

By Ken Moritsugu
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO There will only be a few

hundred, and they wont be cheap, but
Toyota is about to take its first small
step into the unproven market for
emissions-free, hydrogen-powered
vehicles.
The worlds largest automaker
announced Tuesday that it will begin
selling fuel cell cars in Japan on Dec.
15 and in the U.S. and Europe in mid2015. The sporty-looking, four-door
Toyota Mirai will retail for 6.7 million
yen ($57,600) before taxes. Toyota
Motor Corp hopes to sell 400 in Japan
and 300 in the rest of the world in the
first year.
In time, the fuel cell vehicle will
become mainstream. We wanted to take
the first step, said Mitsuhisa Kato, a
Toyota executive vice president, at the
vehicles launch Tuesday. We want to
be at the leading edge.

Fuel cell vehicles run on compressed

hydrogen gas, which in the Mirais
case is stored in two tanks mounted
underneath the vehicle. They emit no
exhaust, though fossil fuels are used in
the production of hydrogen and to
pressurize it. Both Honda and Hyundai
are also experimenting with limited
sales and leases of fuel cell cars. Honda
showed a fuel cell concept car on
Monday.
Besides the relatively high cost,
buyers will have to contend with finding fuel. Only a few dozen hydrogen
filling stations have been built worldwide, though governments are subsidizing the construction of more.
Its an uncertain future that depends
both on whether makers can bring
down the price, and a wide-enough
network of filling stations is built.
Yoshikazu Tanaka, deputy chief engineer for Toyotas next generation
vehicle development, said he
expects it will take 10-20 years for
the Mirai to reach sales in the tens of

thousands of vehicles a year.

Asked if its a risk, he said yes, but
Toyota views it as a challenge.
Likening it to a chicken and egg situation, he said if you say its too risky
and dont move forward with production, the number of filling stations
will never grow. Toyota faced a similar
scenario with its gasoline-electric
hybrid, the Prius, which now sells in
big numbers.
It was a big challenge when we first
introduced the Prius, or hybrid car, in
1997, he said in an interview in
Tokyo. And its an even bigger challenge this time because there is no
infrastructure, and were trying to lead
the commercialization of fuel cell cars.
Hoping to offset the inconvenience
of finding fuel, Toyota gave the car a
futuristic look inside and out Mirai
means future in Japanese and made it
peppy to try to attract buyers. It accelerates particularly quickly from about
40 to 70 kilometers (25 to 45 miles)
per hour, Tanaka said.

Facebooks newest app unbundles Groups feature

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Facebook is launching a new free mobile app for its popular Groups feature that lets users create
and interact with communities on the
site, whether theyre based on hobbies, geography or culture.
More than 700 million of
Facebooks 1.35 billion members use
Groups, according to the company. It
says the site hosts hundreds of millions of groups, which people use talk
to others who share their religion, to
plan holiday dinners, or to discuss

hobbies or health issues.

The new app is meant to make
accessing Groups easier on a mobile
device, allowing users to avoid having
to dig through the Facebook app. It
lets people manage their existing
groups or discover new ones, either
based on recommendations or by
searching for different topics. Users
can also create a shortcut on their
phones screen for their favorite group
if they want to access it quickly.
Facebook says that, as with its messaging app, having a stand-alone
Groups function helps people share
faster and more easily with all the

groups in their life.

Facebook Inc. has been working to
expand its presence on peoples
mobile devices by creating and buying apps such as Messenger, Paper,
Instagram and WhatsApp. The apps
Facebook created from scratch through
its Creative Labs have faced varying
levels of success.
Paper, a mobile news reader, hasnt
really caught on. Slingshot was
launched as a rival to the ephemeral
messaging service Snapchat but it hasnt proven much of one. Facebook on
Tuesday declined to provide user figures for Creative Labs apps.

WhatsApp encrypts messages from beginning to end

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO WhatsApp, the

globally popular instant messaging
system owned by Facebook, has begun
using a powerful new encryption program aimed at protecting users conversations from unwanted surveillance
and snooping.
The messaging service, which has
600 million users and is especially
popular in Europe and Asia, added the

new encryption to its last update for

Android smartphones, according to
Open Whisper Systems, the San
Francisco-based software group that
developed the TextSecure program
with help from U.S. government grants
and private funding.
Privacy advocates say WhatsApps
decision to incorporate so-called endto-end encryption will help users communicate without the fear of someone
reading their messages. WhatsApp

cofounder Jan Koum has said hes deeply

committed to user privacy because he
grew up in the Soviet Union during the
1980s, when his mother and other
adults routinely assumed that authorities
eavesdropped on their phone calls. The
move comes as other leading tech companies also are boosting data encryption, despite criticism from some in law
enforcement who say that can make it
more difficult for authorities to catch
terrorists or other criminals.

Yao-za!
Menlo girls win CCS tennis title
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Menlo head coach Bill Shine said it best

as he accepted the Central Coast Section
girls team tennis championship.
A lot of teams have the wow factor
we have the Yao factor, Shine said.
The Yao factor is composed of Menlos
top two singles players, sisters Liz and
Alice Yao, who led the Knights to their
eighth all-time CCS title with a 5-2 win over
St. Francis on a picturesque Tuesday afternoon at Bay Club Courtside in Los Gatos.
After No. 5-seed Menlo took a commanding lead by winning its first three matches
of the day, senior Liz Yao, the older of the
sisters, clinched the upset over No. 3 St.
Francis by putting away Lancers freshman
Cate Liston 6-3, 6-4.
Liston actually resides in Menlo Park. A
lifer on the tennis court, she has known
Shine since she began attending his drop-in
TERRY BERNAL;/DAILY JOURNAL tennis clinics when she was 8. She currently
No. 2 single Alice Yao scored the first win of receives private tennis instruction from
the day for Menlo 6-1, 6-2 over Amy Burke.
Sacred Heart Prep boys tennis coach Jeff

Arons. This season, she started as St.

Francis No. 2 single, but moved up to No. 1
by the start of West Catholic Athletic League
play.
The more experienced Liz Yao playing
in her fourth CCS postseason and her second
championship match in as many years
took command from the outset though,
working the backline with her calm and fluid
style which has become a cornerstone of the
Menlo team.
And she could sense the team victory was
riding on her outcome, even though no one
specifically communicated the score to her
while she was playing.
I could kind of tell by the crowd, Liz Yao
said. And I could tell by the faces of the
people as they come off (their courts) how
their matches went.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers

linebacker NaVorro Bowman was scheduled
for his first practice of the season Tuesday,
officially opening a 21-day window during
which the team can decide whether to activate
him or send him to the injured reserve list.
The three-time All-Pro sustained a major
injury to his left knee in last seasons NFC
championship game against the Seattle
Seahawks. But he has been a constant presence at the 49ers training facility and has
been engaging with his teammates as though
preparing for every game.
Hes looked good to me the past two
weeks, linebacker Michael Wilhoite said. I
dont know what his work load will be but
Im excited about having him back.
San Francisco will maintain a cautious
approach with Bowman as he eases his way
back into football shape.
Coach Jim Harbaugh had said Monday
that he expects Bowman will take advantage of some walkthrough, some limited
individual drills.
Bowman had appeared in every game the
49ers played over the previous four years and
had started 58, including the playoffs. He had
a spectacular season in 2013, with career
highs in tackles (192), solo tackles (118),
passes defended (9) and sacks (5).

The 49ers will maintain caution with NaVorro Bowman upon his return to practice.
He also recorded his only career touchdown
on an 89-yard interception return against the
Atlanta Falcons.
Im sure hes chomping at the bit,
Wilhoite said. But at the same time he has to
take care of his body. Were ready to have
him around 100 percent of the time.
NOTES: In addition to Bowman, the 21day practice window was also opened on

tight end Garrett Celek, guard Brandon

Thomas and cornerback Keith Reaser.
Linebacker Chris Borland was named one
of the five nominees for Pepsi NFL Rookie
of the Week honors. Fans can vote on the

OAKLAND Free agent designated hitter

Billy Butler and the Oakland Athletics have
agreed to a $30 million, three-year contract, a

Butler helped the
Kansas City Royals reach
the World Series last

Oakland in the AL wild-card game. Butler

contributed two hits and two RBIs.

After losing to the San Francisco Giants in
seven games, the Royals declined their $12.5
million option on Butler for next season,
making the 2012 All-Star a free agent for the
first time in his eight-year career.
The Royals, who selected Butler with the
14th overall pick in the 2004 draft, owed him
a $1 million buyout.
The blog MLB Daily Rumors first reported

See BUTLER, Page 16

ichelle Wie has every reason

to look at this year as what
might have been.
Right when the 6-foot star from Hawaii
was finally hitting her stride, yet another
injury kept her out of golf for nearly
three months. She
could only watch as
her name slipped
from the top of the
LPGA Tour money
list. When she finally felt healthy
enough to try to
return, she lost out
on the inside track to
a $1 million bonus
for the winner of the
Race to the CME
Globe.
So how does she
look back on the season?
With a big smile, for starters.
It helps that she won the U.S. Womens
Open, the biggest event in womens golf
and her first major. Not to be forgotten
was how she rallied to win the Lotte
Championship in April, her first LPGA
Tour win in nearly four years that felt
even bigger because she won before a
home crowd in Hawaii.
So when she was asked Tuesday for one
word to describe her season, the 25-yearold Wie bought some time before saying,
Rewarding.
The season has been so phenomenal
for me, Wie said. It boosted my confidence. It kind of showed me what I can
do. And obviously, its been a tough year

NFL suspends Peterson for at least rest of season

By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Adrian Petersons dispute with the NFL reached another level
when the league suspended Minnesotas star
running back without pay for at least the
rest of the season.
As his representatives initiated an appeal,
Peterson remained at the center of an escalating argument between the league and the
NFL Players Association over the player
discipline process.
Commissioner Roger Goodell told
Peterson on Tuesday he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for
his violation of the NFL personal conduct
policy. Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4
to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas for
injuries to his 4-year-old son with a wooden
switch.
The NFLPA quickly called for a neutral
arbitrator to handle an appeal and sharply
rebuked the league for what it labeled as
inconsistency and unfairness in determining the discipline. The NFLs words were
even stronger, with a nearly 1,600-word
statement spelling out the conditions for
Petersons return to the field and describing
the reasons for the punishment.
The NFL said Peterson would stay on the
special exempt list and continue to be paid
during the appeal process, but the unions
attempt to at least temporarily reinstate him
failed. The grievance filed against the
league last week was overturned Tuesday by
the arbitrator who heard the arguments,
according to a person with knowledge of the
situation. The person spoke to The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Even if Peterson were to win a shorter suspension with an appeal, the Vikings actually playing him would be an implausible scenario given the heat they have taken and the
long time Peterson has been away from the
team. The Vikings have six games left and
host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
The Vikings issued only a brief statement:
We respect the leagues decision and will

have no further comment at this time.
Fullback Jerome Felton said on Twitter
that characterizing his feelings on the
NFLs decision as a disagreement would be
the understatement of the year. In
Pittsburgh, Steelers safety Mike Mitchell
questioned the system that gives Goodell
executive power on player discipline.
Im not just trying to bash him or come
down on him, but I think players would feel
better if he wasnt just judge, jury and executioner, Mitchell said.
Peterson has said he intended no harm to
his 4-year-old son, only discipline.
Peterson was on a special exempt list at the
sole discretion of Goodell, essentially paid
leave while the case went through the legal
system.
The NFLPA said Peterson was told that
would count as time served toward a suspension, citing an unidentified NFL executive.

Stanton can opt out of

deal after $107 million
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

League spokesman Brian McCarthy said the

stay on the exempt list was taken into
account, citing aggravating circumstances for the extended suspension.
Goodell announced Aug. 28 tougher punishment for players involved with domestic
violence. That action stemmed from a torrent of criticism for the initial leniency
toward Baltimore Ravens running back Ray
Rice following a caught-on-camera knockout punch of the woman who is now his
wife. Rice was later suspended indefinitely
and recently had his appeal heard by an arbitrator.
According to the enhanced policy, first
offenses of assault, battery or domestic violence bring a six-game suspension.
Goodells letter to Peterson cited the
aggravating circumstance, pointing to
the childs age and the significant physical
difference between him and his son.

With 4-1 loss at Ireland,

U.S. winless in 4 games
By Shawn Pogatchnik

NEW YORK Giancarlo Stanton will

make just $6.5 million in the first year of
his record $325 million, 13-year contract
with the Miami Marlins.
The deal with the All-Star outfielder, the
richest agreed to by a North American team,
is to be formally announced at a news conference Wednesday. The agreement includes
a $25 million club option for 2028 with a
$10 million buyout.
Stanton will earn $107 million over the
first six seasons of the deal, according to
contract information obtained by The
Associated Press. He then can opt out within four days of the end of the 2020 World
Series, just around the time of his 31st
birthday, and become a free agent.
After his initial salary, Stantons pay
rises to $9 million in 2016, $14.5 million
in 2017 and $25 million in 2018. He gets
$26 million in each of the next two seasons, then can decide whether to cut the deal
short and go back on the market.
If he keeps the contract, he would get $29
million apiece in 2021 and 22, and $32
million in each of the following three seasons. His salary drops to $29 million in
2026 and $25 million in 2027.
Stanton receives a full no-trade clause
a provision the Marlins have refused to
agree to in past deals. Stanton would earn
$50,000 bonuses for making the All-Star
team, winning a Gold Glove and winning a
Silver Slugger. He also would get $100,000
if hes voted league MVP, $250,000 for
league championship series MVP and

Giancarlo Stanton signed a 13-year, $325million contract Monday with the Marlins.
$500,000 for World Series MVP.
He also gets the right to purchase eight
season tickets annually and a luxury suite
for five games per season. As part of the
agreement, Stanton will contribute 1 percent of his annual salary to the Marlins
Foundation.
Stantons agreement tops the $292 million, 10-year contract Miguel Cabrera
agreed to with the Detroit Tigers in March.
Stanton gets the first 13-year guaranteed
deal in baseball history, topping an April
2012 agreement between Cincinnati and
Joey Votto that guaranteed the first baseman $251.5 million over 12 years.

Further, the injury inflicted on your son

includes the emotional and psychological
trauma to a young child who suffers criminal
physical abuse at the hands of his father,
Goodell wrote. Second, the repetitive use
of a switch in this instance is the functional equivalent of a weapon, particularly in
the hands of someone with the strength of
an accomplished professional athlete.
Goodell also came down on Peterson for
showing no meaningful remorse for hurting the boy and expressed concern that he
may feel free to engage in similar conduct
in the future.
The injuries to the boy occurred in May.
Peterson was indicted in September, a few
days after the season opener. The Vikings
put him on the inactive list for the next
game. The day after, they announced he
would resume playing until completion of
his due process in court.
But with the Rice backlash as a backdrop,
Peterson, the Vikings and the NFL were
inundated by protests as corporations canceled sponsorships. The Vikings relented
and less than two days later he was placed on
the exempt list.
The union has accused the league of overstepping bounds spelled out in the collective bargaining agreement.
The decision by the NFL to suspend
Adrian Peterson is another example of the
credibility gap that exists between the
agreements they make and the actions they
take. Since Adrians legal matter was adjudicated, the NFL has ignored their obligations
and attempted to impose a new and arbitrary
disciplinary proceeding, the NFLPA said.
Petersons salary for the season was
$11.75 million. He will keep the money
accrued while on the exempt list. But the
NFLs punishment has now amounted to a
14-game ban, with six unpaid weeks. Thats
the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1
million.
Peterson will turn 30 in March. There are
three years and $45 million remaining on
his contract, but none of it is guaranteed.
The Vikings would take only a $2.4 million
hit on their 2015 salary cap if they cut him
before next season.

night with a year-ending 4-1 loss to a second-string Ireland team.
Ireland changed all 11 starters from
Fridays 1-0 loss at Scotland in European
Championship qualifying and went ahead
in the seventh minute when Anthony
Pilkington chipped goalkeeper Bill
Hamid, who made his second international
start and first since January 2012. David
McGoldrick, making his international
debut, made a through pass past Matt
Besler to the sprinting Pilkington.
Mix Diskerud tied the score in the 39th
after Jozy Altidores lofted cross into the
penalty area fell to Chris Wondolowski.

Diskerud, who used the outside of his
right foot to flick the ball low into the
right corner of the net as chants of U-SA! U-S-A! rang out in Aviva Stadium.
Robbie Brady put the 61st-ranked Irish
back ahead in the 55th after he got behind
the defense and scored from 7 yards. James
McClean made it 3-1 in the 82nd with a
shot that deflected off defender Geoff
Cameron and past Hamid, and Brady
scored on a 25-yard free kick in the 86th.

The
23rd-ranked
Americans dropped to
1-4-3 since beating
Ghana in their World
Cup opener in June.
Coming off Fridays 2-1
defeat to Colombia in
London, they have lost
consecutive games for
Jordan Morris the first time since late
2011.
Their four-game winless streak is their
longest since Juergen Klinsmann replaced
Bob Bradley as coach in July 2011.
The U.S. finished the year 6-5-4, having
scored 20 goals and allowed 20. In a worrisome trend for the Americans, they have
given up 10 goals from the 80th minute
on in their last nine games.
The Americans had scoring chances,
with Fabian Johnson hitting a post in the
22nd minute with a long-range shot and
Altidores effort from the edge of the
penalty area ricocheting off the crossbar
in the 43rd.
Jordan Morris, a 20-year-old forward
who is a Stanford sophomore, entered in
the 76th for his U.S. debut. The U.S.
Soccer Federation believes no college
player appeared for the national team
since Ante Razov in 1995, the year before
Major League Soccer started play.

Sharks fall 4-1 as Buffalo wing scores 2

By John Wawrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUFFALO, N.Y. Brian Gionta had two

goals and an assist in leading the Buffalo
Sabres to a 4-1 win over the San Jose Sharks
in front of a sparse, snowstorm-depleted
crowd on Tuesday night.
Nicolas Deslauriers and Brian Flynn also
scored for Buffalo, which won its eighth
straight against San Jose, dating to the
2009-10 season. Jhonas Enroth stopped 20
shots over the final two periods after replacing starter Michal Neuvirth who did not
return after sustaining a lower body injury in
the first period.
Brent Burns scored for San Jose, which finished 3-4 on a seven-game road swing.
The Sabres improved to 16-1 all-time at
home against the Sharks. Buffalo, coming
off a 6-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday,
also won consecutive games for the first time
since a three-game streak late last February.
Too bad there werent many to cheer on the
Sabres.
The game was played in front of an estimated crowd of about 6,200, who turned up

on a day a severe lake

effect snowstorm dumped
more than 4 feet of snow
on communities south
and east of Buffalo.
The storm even stranded Sabres forward Patrick
Kaleta, who was snowed
in and unable to leave his
home.
Brian Gionta
The biggest cheer went
up with 4:44 remaining
when San Joses Patrick Marleau had a goal
overturned on a video review. Marleau got to
the front of the net and backhanded a shot
that sneaked in behind Enroth and was
rolling over the line before Buffalos Matt
Moulson swept it away.
Initially called a goal that would have cut
Buffalos lead to 3-2, the review showed
Moulson got to the puck before it crossed the
line.
Gionta got the fans on their feet by breaking a 1-1 tie with 8:06 left, and 85 seconds
after Burns scored. Corralling a rolling puck

Hills career on hold amid cancer fight

By Joe Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI Lauren Hill practices

only a few days a week now. Its unlikely
shell play in another basketball game,
although shes not ruling out the possibility that she just might feel up to it one day
and shoot one of her left-handed layups.
Her cancerous brain tumor makes every
day unpredictable. And whatever happens,
shes accepted it.
The Mount St. Joseph freshman isnt as
strong as she was two weeks ago, when she
took the basketball court in the national

spotlight. She made a

pair of layups during a
Division III basketball
game in front of more
than 10, 000 fans who
dabbed their eyes as the
ball went through the
net.
The game was two
weeks ago. It seems like
Lauren Hill

she said on Tuesday in her schools gymnasium, with the final score Mount St.

post.
It was the team captains first goal since
signing with the Sabres in free agency last
summer.
Gionta then set up Flynn on a 2-on-1 break
to make it 3-1 with 12 seconds left in the
period, and sealed the win with an empty-netter in the final minute.
Sharks rookie goalie Troy Grosenick
stopped 10 shots and didnt fare as well as he
did in his NHL debut in a 2-0 win at Carolina
on Sunday. Thats when he stopped 45 shots
to become the leagues 22nd goalie to register a shutout in his first game.
Neuvirth stopped all 10 shots he faced in
the first period. He appeared to be hurt with
2:41 left. He was doing the splits after stopping Justin Brauns shot, when Sabres teammate Tyler Ennis crashed into the goalie.
Ennis knocked the puck across the crease,
but the goal was disallowed because the referee ruled Braun interfered with Neuvirth.
Enroth was sharp in coming in to start the
second period. His best save came when he
wasnt looking. Enroth had his back to the
play after attempting to stop Tommy
Wingels wraparound attempt at the left post.

The puck dribbled to Jason Demers, who fired

a shot off the goalies back.
Enroth had little chance on Burns goal, a
hard one-timer that found the top left corner.
In announcing the game would be played,
the Sabres asked fans to respect numerous
driving bans that had been put in place in
numerous communities. Fans unable to
attend the game were provided the chance to
exchange their unused tickets for a future
game.
Postponing the game would have been difficult because the Sharks were traveling
home to play Florida on Thursday night. San
Jose makes only one more trip east: a sevengame swing from March 17-29.
NOTES: Sabres D Nikita Zadorov played
his ninth game of the season. That leaves the
Sabres needing to decide whether to have
Zadorovs rookie contract kick in or return
him to London of the Ontario Hockey
League. ... After opening with 16 of their
first 21 on the road, the Sharks head to San
Jose for a six-game homestand. ... Sabres
assistant GM Mark Jakubowski and head athletic trainer Tim Macre were also snowed in
and unable to attend the game.

straight, including the final game in which
she shut out a visibly frustrated Liston.
I could feel her getting frustrated, Liz
Yao said. So, other than just hit the ball
solidly and not try to go for too much, I just
waited until I had an opportunity.
Liz Yao got her opportunity by forcing
match point with a beautiful lob towards the
sideline, which Liston was able to chase
down. The freshman returned a volley right
to Liz Yao, who exploited the wide-open far
side to go up 40-0. On the final rally of the
match, Liston committed a hitting error to
end it.
I made my first serve in, she hit it back
and I hit it back again very normally, Liz
Yao said. But I think it was just a little bit
of frustration and she tried to go for it a little too much and it went out.
Preceding Liz Yaos victory were Menlo

Likewise, the first thing Liz Yao did after
her win was rush to watch her teammates who

Illina Yang defeating freshman Elika Esnghi
6-2, 6-1. But Liz Yao caught the conclusion
of the No. 3 singles match as St. Francis junior Priyanka Pabari defeated sophomore
Georgia Anderson 6-4, 3-6 (10-7).
Then Liz Yao and the rest of the Menlo
squad hurried to enjoy the No. 2 and 3 doubles teams notch the doubles sweep.
Shine credits Liz Yao as being one of the
players who holds the team together.
Shes a classy gal and shes just so nice

Melissa Tran and Schuyler Tilney-Volk, who
edged Andie Hamm and Jasmine Wong 1-6,
6-3, 7-6 (5).
This is really special being the 5-seed.
They were really determined to prove everybody wrong, Shine said. They thought
they should have been a higher seed, which
they should have been. It is what it is. Its
what you do about it; and they came out and
just wanted to prove everybody wrong and
they did it.
Menlos doubles coach, fourth-year assistant Kevin Conner, was overcome with joy
as the Knights claimed their first title since

sweet as he is a graduate of St. Francis.

She looks at this season-ending event as
a final exam.

Woods complains about Dan Jenkins parody

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tiger Woods criticized Hall of Fame golf

writer Dan Jenkins on Tuesday for a parody
in which Jenkins fakes an interview with
him and covers topics from his reputation
as a bad tipper to his failed marriage to his
six-year drought in the majors.
The online headline of the Golf Digest
column is My (Fake) Interview with Tiger,
with an asterisk to add, Or how it plays out
in my mind. The print edition of the magazine has fake in parentheses on the cover,
but not in the headline above the column.
Woods rarely goes public with his criticism of stories written about him. But on
Tuesday, he wrote a guest column for Derek
Jeters new website, www. theplayerstribune.com, which is a forum for athletes to
connect directly with fans. The title of
Woods column was Not True, Not Funny.
He said the fake interview fails as parody, and is really more like grudge-fueled
piece of character assassination.
Jenkins, who has been covering the
majors for more than 60 years, was inducted
into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011.
While he has covered all the greats dating to
Ben Hogan, he never was granted a private
interview with the 14-time major champion
early in Woods career.
I like to think I have a good sense of
humor, and that Im more than willing to
laugh at myself, Woods wrote. Ive been
playing golf for a long time, 20 years on
the PGA Tour. Ive given lots of interviews
to journalists in all that time, more than I
could count, and some have been good and
some not so much. ... But this concocted
article was below the belt.
Good-natured satire is one thing, but no
fair-minded writer would put someone in the
position of having to publicly deny that he
mistreats his friends, takes pleasure in firing people and stiffs on tips and a lot of
other slurs, too.

Woods was a playing editor for Golf
Digest for 13 years, a relationship that
began after his historic victory in the 1997

In his guest column, Woods said of

Mets move in fences at

Citi Field for 2nd time

NEW YORK Mired in a streak of

six straight losing seasons and hoping to boost offense, the New York
Mets are moving in their fences at
Citi Field for the second time.
The Mets unveiled the new dimensions Tuesday, which bring in the
fences 3-to-11 feet in front of the

enjoy not all, not baseball purists
by any means, but there arent a lot
of baseball purists left.
Speaking in front of the new fence
on a blustery afternoon with the temperature below freezing, Alderson
said the teams research projected
there would have been 27 additional
home runs this year under the new
dimensions. The Mets would have
hit 17, including nine by Curtis
Granderson and four by Lucas Duda.
According to STATS, Citi Field
was last in the major leagues in
home runs during its first three seasons with an average of 1.43 per
game. The Mets cut the dimensions
by as much as 12 feet after 2011 and

lowered the fence height from 16 to

8 feet in left, and Citi Field jumped to
19th in home runs from 2012-14 at
1.79.
New York has built its team around
pitching, with Matt Harvey returning next year following Tommy
John surgery to join NL Rookie of
the Year Jacob deGrom and Zack
Wheeler as the nucleus of a young
rotation. Alderson acknowledged
some might find bringing in the
fences counterintuitive.
Id say there is less of a conscious
effort to build the team around pitching than would be apparent, he said.
Thats what our strength is, and so
thats something we want to take
advantage of. But its all relative. So
if we have the kind of pitching that
wont be adversely affected by a
change like this and our hitters can
take advantage of it, then from a
comparative standpoint were better
off.
Because the changes are in right
field, they may not restore David
Wrights power. He hit 70 home runs
in 4 1/2 seasons at Shea Stadium but
has just 46 in six years at Citi Field.
Im not sure how you can argue
this is being done for Davids benefit, Alderson said. This is being
done for the benefit of our team as a
whole. Other players will benefit far
more than David.
Unlike the last change, this one is
not likely to create additional seats.
Mets chief operating officer Jeff
Wilpon said the space behind the
new fences was an oasis between
the field and the bullpens.

Beef can be part of healthy diet

By Rocco DiSpirito
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Simply put I am a very happy carnivore. Life without beef would be...
depressing.
Yes, I know the anti-meat cops have
declared that one persons steak is
every persons poison. But I believe
beef can be part of a healthy diet. Its
high in protein, B vitamins, iron, zinc
and other minerals. And when the right
cuts are trimmed of any visible fat,
beef can be nearly as lean as a boneless, skinless chicken breast.
To me, that makes beef a winner for a
healthy diet.
The trick is to start with lean cuts,
then trim any fat from them. And of
these cuts, one of the leanest is the
tenderloin. In my recipe for beef a la
Romana, for example, a typical cut of
beef would push this dish to 890 calories with 68 grams of fat. My version
has just 300 calories and 13 grams of
fat per serving.
The tenderloin is cooked quickly in a
bit of olive oil. That speed helps preserve its tenderness. And the meat goes
in the sauce for barely a minute to keep
it medium rare. These steps ensure that
the meat doesnt overcook and dry out.
This recipe also includes two other
healthy ingredients kale and cannellini beans. Kale is the new
spinach. Yes, I know it looks like a
pile of weeds sitting in the produce
department, but kale is a miracle
green. I eat so much of it, Im surprised

my hair hasnt turned green.

As for the beans, they add an extra
dose of fiber and other nutrients. And I
use the canned variety; theyre already
cooked so you dont have to figure in
the soaking time.
And speaking of time, you can whip
up this hearty, healthy recipe almost
faster than it takes to read this article.
Seriously, it takes just 25 minutes to
get it on the table. Youve probably
waited longer than that for a pizza.
With its tender beef and intensely
flavored sauce, filet of beef a la
Romana is a dish that will make a
healthy, memorable impact and leave
you feeling satiated and energized. Oh,
and did I mention I love beef?

TIPS:
Remove the beef from the refrigerator for 10 minutes before you cook so
it will come to room temperature. The
beef will cook more evenly and more
quickly this way.

FILET OF BEEF A LA ROMANA

Start to finish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Four 4-ounce filets of lean beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
5 cups curly-leaf kale (1 to 2 bunches), tough stems trimmed off and
leaves chopped into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup water

1/2 cup no-salt canned cannellini

beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup fat-free, salt-free marinara
sauce (such as Pomi)
1/2 ounce pecorino Romano cheese,
grated
Use paper towels to dry the beef,
then season both sides of each filet
with salt and pepper.
In a large saute pan over mediumhigh, heat the olive oil. Once the oil
starts to smoke, add the filets and cook
for about 2 minutes, or until they are
well browned on the bottoms. Flip and
cook another 2 minutes, or until well
browned on the other side. Transfer the
filets to a plate and cover to keep
warm.
Lower the heat under the pan to medium. Add the garlic and saute for 20 to
30 seconds, or until it is golden
brown. Add the pepper flakes and then
the kale. Cook and stir for about 1
minute, or until the kale has started to
wilt. Add the water, then cover the pan
and bring to a simmer. Cook until
almost all the water is gone, about 4
minutes.
Uncover the pan and add the beans
and marinara sauce. Cook for 1 minute,
or until the sauce coats the kale. Add
the filets back to the pan along with
any collected juice on the plate. Cover
and cook to desired doneness (2 to 3
minutes for medium-rare to medium).
Remove the beef and place one piece
each on four plates. Add the cheese to
the kale and season to taste with salt
and pepper. Spoon onto the plates
with the beef.

Learning to love bison

as the other red meat
N
othing says Yum! like
a bit of nomenclatural
confusion... Especially
with a side of near extinction.
But thats what you get once
you venture down the culinary
path with bison, an alternative
red meat that is showing up at
more and more grocers nationwide. And these massive shaggy
creatures are such a delicious
and good for us meat, its
worth sorting it all out.
So lets start with the name.
The critter you know as the
American buffalo (yes, of rolling
plains and Native American fame)
really isnt a buffalo at all. Turns
out there are only a few types of
buffalo in the world (including
the Asian water buffalo and
African Cape buffalo). The
American buffalo (technically a
bison) is more closely related to
your run-of-the-mill cow.
Still, people tend to use the
terms interchangeably and were
not going to get too bent out of
shape over it.
Once, bison were hunted to near
extinction. But theyve made a
pretty good turnaround and these
days are raised primarily for consumption. Why do you care?
Because bison meat (which is
raised without hormones or
antibiotics) can be incredibly

tender and flavorful, with a

sweet, rich
beefy flavor.
It also happens to be
amazingly
lean, packing
fewer calories
and less fat
than beef and
even skinless
chicken.
That low-fat
profile comes with a price, however. Like any lean meat, bison
has a tendency to cook quickly,
so quickly that its easy to overcook it. And that is why bison
has a reputation for being tough.
It isnt. If you have bison that is
tough, that just means it was
overcooked.
Though bison is available in
most of the same cuts as traditional beef, the most common
varieties at grocers are ground and
steaks. Well stick with those.
You can use bison much as you
would beef. The trick is to modify
the cooking method (rather than
the flavors or other ingredients)
to account for the leanness.
When cooking ground bison,
its best to work in some sort of
liquid flavor to keep the meat
moist. This might mean eggs or

tomato paste for a meatloaf, or
some sort of pan sauce or gravy if
you are browning it in a skillet.
That also makes it ideal for meatballs simmered in sauce or for
using in chili.
For bison steaks, think fast and
furious. Season them, then pop
them under the broiler or on the
grill for just a few minutes per
side.

SEARED BISON WITH

SAGE AND GNOCCHI
Start to finish: 15 minutes
Servings: 6
1 pound package gnocchi pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

Pinch red pepper flakes

1 1/2 pounds bison steak, thinly sliced across the grain
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and ground black pepper
Bring a large saucepan of salted
water to a boil. Add the gnocchi
and cook according to package
directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the
cooking water, then drain the
gnocchi and set aside.
In a large skillet over mediumhigh, heat the oil. Add the garlic
and red pepper flakes, then saute
the garlic for 30 seconds.
Add the steak and sear on each
side for about 1 minute. Dont
crowd the pan or the steak with

steam rather than sear. If needed,

work in batches.
Once the steak is seared, add the
sage and cooked gnocchi. Cook
for 30 seconds, then add the
Parmesan. Drizzle in just enough
of the reserved cooking water to
form a sauce with the melted
cheese. Toss, then season with
salt and pepper.

DIY hot cocoas not much harder, and a lot better

By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Admittedly, crafting your own hot cocoa

is slightly more work than popping open a
can of powder and mixing it with hot milk
(or worse... water).
But it is so worth the effort. If nothing
else, at least doctor the powdered stuff with
a dash of cinnamon, a spoonful of marshmallow Fluff, a spoonful of whipped cream
or a quick grate of nutmeg (or ever better, all
of them).
If you are willing to go to a bit extra trouble, there are numerous ways to crank out a
fantastic cocoa that will still have you
snuggled in front of the fire in no time.

bound left-turn traffic. The two existing
lanes in each direction would be maintained; although they would be shifted
outward to accommodate the new
opposing left-turn lanes in the center.
Intersection lighting improvements are
also an option, according to a city staff
report.
Community and City Council members have expressed concerns that the
draft report doesnt include enough specific data, could lead to the loss of historic trees and that Caltrans hasnt been
responsive enough to their suggestions
to how to fix the intersection.
The city is offering its own suggestions to Caltrans. It authorized Mayor
Michael Brownrigg to ask Caltrans to
consider beginning with implementing
split phasing of the traffic signals,
which would make it so all northbound
traffic goes while southbound traffic
waits. If this doesnt work, the city is
suggesting to Caltrans that it explore
eliminating left-turns on red for southbound traffic at the Floribunda Avenue
intersection, said Public Works
Director Syed Murtuza.
From the outset, the city has argued
that an evaluation process could and
should be implemented whereby
Caltrans would begin with the least
invasive interventions first and move
forward over time as data becomes
available and if necessary, Brownrigg
wrote in the draft letter approved
Monday night. We see this to be the
most cost-effective and quickest way of
solving the problem for our taxpayers
and motorists since (1) each successive
measure would prove to be more invasive and more expensive than the former; and (2) the early, less-invasive
interventions are simpler and much
faster to implement. Indeed, they could
have been in place over the last year,
and now we would have real data instead
of speculation. The city believes that
this approach would also ensure that the
most drastic and irreversible solution
would be considered last, instead of
first.
At an open house to answer questions
and receive comments on the Draft
Environmental
Impact
Report/Environmental Assessment, or
DEIR, for the El Camino/Floribunda
Avenue
Intersection
Safety
Improvement Project Thursday, Nov.
13 many people expressed their concerns about the plan, Murtuza said at a
Monday night City Council meeting.
One concern about the plan released
in October by Caltrans was the
potential removal of 14 trees. The state
owns El Camino Real and, thus, the
trees along it, City Manager Lisa
Goldman previously said.
It (the open house) was set up to not

hear a lot of comments, said

Councilman Ricardo Ortiz. At the end,
some Caltrans staff did listen.
Hopefully, they will move along with
our suggestions. We have to be vigilant
and stay on it.
Jennifer Pfaff, president of the
Burlingame Historical Society, urged
caution.
I would not want to dissuade the public from writing a letter to address all
the concerns of the community.
They did kind of get the gist were not
happy with the general tone of the document, she said.
One positive development Pfaff said
she saw in the DEIR was fixing the sidewalks from Burlingame Avenue to
Hillside Drive.
The document identifies nine operational measures that were considered,
but ultimately withdrawn by Caltrans.
Signal timing adjustments were rejected
because signal-timing changes were
already made and showed no identifiable reductions in left-turn collisions.
A left-turn prohibition/intersection
closure was rejected because it was
deemed impractical from a highway
operational and safety perspective.
Widening the west side, east or both
sides of El Camino Real with private
right-of-way acquisition were rejected
because of design infeasibility with
worse environmental impacts than the
build alternative. Signal split-phasing/removal of an existing traffic signal was rejected because it would cause
vehicle traffic delays and vehicle queuing. Signal removal would increase
left-turn collisions. Speed enforcement
was rejected because it would reduce the
existing speed limit and not address
left-turn collisions. Other signal modifications (traffic barriers and delineators) were rejected because of maintenance concerns, private right-of-way
acquisition concerns, potential reduction in travel lanes and through-traffic
capacity and potential traffic delays
and congestion, according to the staff
report.
City staff also brings up several concerns about Caltrans study, noting that
the DEIR does not provide comprehensive traffic collision data at the El
Camino Real and Floribunda intersection. The document states that there
were 22 accidents over a three-year period and does not show year-by-year
trends, types, causes or results/changes
from previous improvements undertaken. The city wants a detailed record of
collision data by year, type and causes
for the last 10 years. The DEIR states
that the El Camino Real and Floribunda
intersection has a higher collision rate
than the state average, but the document
does not provide the information on
what the states average collision rate
is and the measured time period. The
city also wants traffic collision data
from after 2012 included. The city
believes other collision data about
other intersections along the El

Camino Real corridor is relevant to

understand how the Floribunda intersection compares. The study should also
include projected traffic volumes and
detailed technical data including traffic
simulation for each of the discarded
alternatives, the staff report states.
Other community members were frustrated with how the open house was
conducted and felt like their questions
were not answered at the meeting.
Realtor
and
Burlingame
Beautification Commissioner Mary
Hunt, who has lived in Burlingame
since 1986, said her impression of the
open house was that Caltrans was
doing it so they could say that it did it.
They had fliers with project location, funding and background; it
looked very official, but they didnt
have anyone as a speaker, she said.
They didnt really want to talk to anyone. Weve done our study and were
going to do what we want to do and
thats very disturbing. They want to
make it into a freeway.
At the same time, residents continue
to be concerned about the 14 trees that
could be in play. These trees include
five liquidambars, four historical blue
gum eucalyptus trees, two eucalyptus
microtheca, one accolade elm and two
volunteer trees. Burlingame resident
Richard Aptekar described that stretch
of El Camino Real as inviting and historic. The citys attorney must fight to
make sure the trees dont get cut down,
he said.
El Camino must not turn into a
speedway, he said. Caltrans must
come up with alternative ideas.
The newest councilmember, John
Root, noted Monday night that state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, will continue to help
the citys case. Vice Mayor Terry Nagel
added that there doesnt have to be a full
environmental impact report if other
options the city has suggested are
explored instead. Councilwoman Ann
Keighran said she was disappointed
with the meeting, but was pleased to
see many members of the public present who asked very good questions.

STREETS
Continued from page 1
sewer system to trees and safety and
managing transportation and how the
city looks and feels.
With every city street needing to be
repaved at least once by 2050, new
developments and the citys population continuing to grow, the
Sustainable Streets Plan would serve
as a policy guide for future transportation planning, Chin said.
The nearly 500-page document covers a broad range of topics such as
street classification, performance
metrics, design guidelines, recommended programs and promoting safety.

Safety
Vision Zero is a program prioritizing safety for all modes of transportation.
No loss of life is acceptable on San
Mateos streets, Chin said. And that
is really taking a big step forward
saying we prioritize human life above
things like mobility.
Safety related improvements could
include better signs, lighting and
landscaping while creating pedestrian
refuges and implementing enforcement programs to deter aggressive or
negligent driving behavior, according to the plan.
As everyone begins and ends a trip
as a pedestrian, the plan suggests
adopting design principles placing
those on foot as top priority followed
by bicycles, public transit then single-occupancy vehicles.
Ensuring safety vehicles, such as
police or fire, are able to navigate the
city with ease is another priority the
plan suggests adopting.

Planning for the future and

getting folks out of the car
Creating a sustainable street
scheme should involve a citywide
Transportation Demand Program with
three tiers, according to the plan.
For areas closest to arterial roads
and downtown, the city should seek to
reduce the amount of vehicle trips by

25 percent. For areas within a half

mile of Caltrain stations, it must aim
for a 15 percent reduction and try for a
10 percent reduction on all other
streets, Chin said.
Meeting these goals means creating
streets that people feel comfortable
walking or biking on and implementing public and private programs such
as public transit passes, Chin said.
The Sustainable Streets Plan could
benefit the communitys health as
more people would be walking, biking and not encountering as much
pollution with fewer cars on the road,
Councilman Jack Matthews said.
To me, in our country and particularly in San Mateo, were an auto-centric society and thats really very
unbalanced. So what this is looking
at [is] how do we live better. How do
