High schools gain top honors

National publication recognizes five San Mateo high school district schools for excellence
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Five local high schools gained recognition as some of the best in the state, and
nation, according to a recent report.
San Mateo, Aragon, Burlingame,
Hillsdale and Mills high schools, all in the
San Mateo Union High School District,
received acclaim from Niche, an organization which tracks, compares and ranks
school performance throughout the nation.

The district schools were included in the

100 best high schools in the state, according to the organizations recently released
rankings for 2016, and all were named
among the 20 best in the Bay Area.
Burlingame and San Mateo high schools
were also ranked among the 500 best public
high schools in the nation, and the other
three were included in the top 700.
Kevin Skelly, superintendent of the San
Mateo Union High School District, commended the honor district schools received

in a press release.
We are heartened by the positive views
of our schools expressed in these rankings
while we strive to serve our students and
their families more effectively, he said.
Niche ranks schools based on a variety
factors, including test scores, student college readiness, graduation rates, teacher
quality, extra curricular activities, facilities, food and other considerations, such as
parent feedback.
As a whole, the San Mateo Union High

School District ranked as the sixth-best

public high school district in the Bay Area,
and 26th best of the roughly 1,000 districts
in the entire state.
Burlingame High School received the top
honor of all district schools, as it was
ranked 42nd among the best schools in the
state, followed by San Mateo High School
at 53, Aragon High School at 67, Hillsdale
High School at 76 and Mills High School at
83.

Rabbi Lavey Derby, director of Jewish Life for the Peninsula Jewish Community Center, lights the candle for the first night
of Hanukkah during the centers Latkepalooza event, which drew more than 700 revelers who enjoyed free latkes, live
music, a marketplace and crafts and games for kids.

After two decades of public service,

Jack Matthews spent his last meeting
behind the San Mateo City Council dais
Monday night.
Although Matthews was next in line to
serve another term as mayor, the architect and longtime San Mateo resident Jack Matthews
was termed out after spending 12 years
on the City Council.
Prior to serving in a policy-making capacity, Matthews
also spent eight years on the citys Planning Commission
where he applied his expertise in design and land use.
I thought it was an opportunity to serve my city and to
contribute and make a difference. I believe strongly in public service, Matthews said, noting he wanted to continue
after serving the maximum of two terms as a planning commissioner. Being on the City Council really was appealing because the council has a broader authority or purview
of things. And it was to continue that public service and to

Calling the defendant the worst of

Houston told the court he opted for the

Michael Lutts to send a message.
Lutts pleaded guilty in January to
two counts of sexual exploitation of a
minor and one count of distribution of
child pornography. He admitted to 15
instances in July and August of 2014
in which he photographed and videotaped the babies in his care in sexually explicit situations at his home and
workplace. Prosecutors said Lutts
molested the boy while he was in his
care as a foster parent.
Neither Lutts nor his attorney could
be immediately reached for comment.
Lutts also admitted emailing pornographic images of the children to others.

County continues rehab contracts

Six providers to receive nearly $10.8 million for substance use treatment
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo County Board of

Supervisors is set Tuesday to approve contracts totaling about $10.8 million to six
nonprofit agencies that provide substance
abuse treatment.
Although the county has a continuing resolution with the agencies to fund their services, approval of the contracts was on hold
as officials have awaited word on a waiver
that would give nonprofits the ability to
draw upon federal funds to provide expanded
substance abuse treatment.
The nonprofits had no disruption in payments, however, and the county just submitted a plan to the state Department of Health
Care Services Nov. 30 on how local agencies would use Medicaid and Medi-Cal dollars to provide substance abuse treatment to
a larger eligibility pool, Steve Kaplan,
director of Behavioral Health and Recovery
Services, said Monday.
Currently, Medi-Cal restricts the types of
services that may be provided to claim federal participation, Kaplan said.
Once the waiver is approved, Medi-Cal
eligible individuals will have access to a
rich array of services, he said.
It will also increase the eligibility pool to
access services, he said.
Service providers will also be able to bill
for many more services than they were previously able, Kaplan wrote in a report to
the board.

The contract extensions come at a time
when many of the nonprofits have been
forced to downsize such as the Latino
Commission, which closed two facilities
that provided treatment to 72 people annually.
On Tuesday, South San Francisco-based
Latino Commission will be awarded a $2
million contract by the board to provide
substance use disorder treatment through
most of next year.
The county has contracted with the Latino
Commission for more than 20 years to provide outpatient and residential substance use
disorder treatment and recovery services and
transitional housing services.
The contract covers the fiscal year from
July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016.
The Board of Supervisors will also
approve contracts for Project 90, Redwood
City, El Centro de Libertad, Free at Last and
Pyramid Alternatives.
The countys largest contract for substance abuse treatment is with Project 90 at
$2.7 million. The agency has contracted
with the county for more than 30 years to
provide services to adult men who may be
homeless, straight from prison or jail,
unemployed or have limited language skills
who grapple with substance use.
The agency successfully treated 65 per-

cent of its clients, 189 men, last year,

according to Kaplans report to the board.
The contract with Pyramid is for $1.9 million to provide outpatient and intensive day
treatment services to promote and support
long-term recovery for individuals recovering from alcohol and drug abuse.
The contract with El Centro de Libertad is
for $1.8 million. The agency provides a 90day outpatient treatment program that
includes family group therapy, alcohol and
drug testing, relapse prevention, adolescent
treatment and anger management.
Free at Last will be awarded a $1.9 million
contract to provide substance use disorder
treatment and recovery services to men,
women, children and their families.
The county has contracted with Redwood
City to provide alcohol and other drug prevention services since 2008. The services
provided include education and awareness
and prevention efforts in Redwood City and
North Fair Oaks.
The county does not absorb all the cost
for these contracts. Some of the funding
comes from block grants, the Mental Health
Services
Act,
Federal
Financial
Participation for Drug Medi-Cal and 2011
Realignment for aggregate Drug Court services.
The contracts are on Tuesdays consent
calendar.
The Board of Superv isors meets 9 a.m.,

Survivors return to Pearl

Harbor 74 years after attack
By Audrey McAvoy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii A few

dozen elderly men who survived the
Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor 74
years ago gathered Monday at the site to
remember fellow servicemen who didnt
make it. The U.S. Navy and National
Park Service hosted a ceremony in
remembrance of those killed on Dec. 7,
1941. More than 3,000 people joined
the survivors.
Adm. Harry Harris, the top U.S. military commander in the Pacific, said the
day must forever remain burned into the
American consciousness.
For 74 years, weve remembered
Pearl Harbor. Weve remained vigilant.
And todays armed forces are ready to
answer the alarm bell, said Harris, who
leads the U.S. Pacific Command.
He said the military was also working
to keep the alarm bell from sounding in
the first place by refocusing its attention on Asia and the Pacific region with
the aim of maintaining stability, pros-

Trump calls for complete shutdown on Muslims entering U.S.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. Donald

Trump called Monday for a total and
complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, an idea swiftly
condemned by his rival GOP candidates for president and other
Republicans.
The proposed ban would apply to
immigrants and visitors alike, a
sweeping prohibition affecting all
adherents of Islam who want to come

to the U.S. The idea

faced an immediate
challenge to its
legality and feasibility from experts
who could point to
no formal exclusion
of
immigrants
based on religion in
Donald Trump Americas history.
Trumps
campaign said in a statement such a ban
should stand until our countrys repre-

sentatives can figure out what is going

on. It said the proposal comes in
response to a level of hatred among
large segments of the Muslim population toward Americans.
Until we are able to determine and
understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous
attacks by people that believe only in
jihad, and have no sense of reason or
respect for human life, Trump said in
the statement.

Man dressed as deputy acts suspicious in store
San Mateo police are investigating a man dressed in a San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office uniform and duty belt
claimed he was investigating a theft in the Safeway at the
Crystal Springs Shopping Center Nov. 24.
At about 9 p.m., the man entered the store and said he was
investigating a theft though an employee said no theft had
been reported. He insisted on interviewing someone inside
the stores cash office and the employee became suspicious
and refused the request. He left without further incident,
according to police.
An on-duty deputy confirmed by surveillance footage that
he was not an employee of the Sheriffs Office and no theft
was being actively investigated, according to police.
San Mateo police are working with the Sheriffs Office
and trying to determine if this is related to a prior attempted robbery that took place Nov. 18 at the Safeway on the
1600 block of El Camino Real. Video of the suspect can be
seen at youtu.be/5w-6rVcuLxs, youtu.be/L46-FOGqoc0 and

Thursdays shooting of 26-year-old Mario Woods in the

shows five officers firing their weapons as Woods is seen
holding his left side, limping down a sidewalk along a wall

sentenced to 40 years to life in prison
Monday, according to prosecutors.
Adan Reyes Arriaga, 39, was sentenced
following his conviction on Sept. 25 of
four counts of felony child molestation
and one count of felony child molestation
of a child under the age of 10, according to
prosecutors.
The abuse occurred in between January
2012 and June 21, 2013, when Arriaga was
living in an apartment with two families
in San Mateo, prosecutors said.
One of the victims, a family member,
was 6 to 7 years old at the time, while the
second victim, from a second family living in the apartment, was 7 to 8 years old.
Arriaga was already in custody at the
time of sentencing, prosecutors said.

Caltrain approves
fare, parking fee hikes
It will cost a bit more to ride Caltrain
and park in one of its lots after its Board of
Directors approved changes last Thursday
to its fare rates and parking fees.
The approved changes included an
increase to the Caltrain adult base fare by
50 cents. That will increase the amount
paid for the day pass, eight-ride tickets
and monthly passes. Eligible discount
fares will remain at 50 percent of adult
ticket prices and Clipper card holders will
continue to get an approximate 15 percent
discount, according to the transit agency.
Along with the fare hikes, Caltrain will
increase daily parking fees at station lots
from $5 to $5.50, and raise the monthly

Local briefs
parking permit fee from $50 to $55,
according to the transit agency.
The changes to the transit fares will go
into effect on Feb. 28. The new parking
rates changes will be enforced on July 1,
according to the transit agency.

McDonalds drive-thru
window robbed at gunpoint
A Pacifica McDonalds employee was
robbed at gunpoint at the restaurants
drive-thru window on Sunday morning,
police said.
At about 10:30 a.m., a man in his 30s
with a gun walked up to the drive-thru window in the Linda Mar Shopping Center and
demanded money, police said.
The employee gave him the money and
he ran south into the shopping center,
police said.
The suspect was described as a black man
wearing a green hat and puffy ski jacket.
He was wearing a mask at the time of the
robbery, police said.
Anyone with information about the robbery has been asked to call Pacifica police
at (650) 738-7314.

Redwood City man sentenced

to 50 to life for child molestation
A Redwood City man convicted of
molesting a young girl that his girlfriend
was baby-sitting was sentenced to 50
years to life in state prison Friday, prosecutors said Monday.
Daniel Mejia Hernandez, 29, was sentenced Friday following his conviction in
July on three counts of felony sexual acts
with a child under 10 years of age.

A jury acquitted him on a fourth count of

the same charge, prosecutors said.
Hernandez is accused of molesting a girl
over a period of two years in 2007 and
2008 when she was 7 and 8 years old,
prosecutors said Monday.
Hernandezs girlfriend was baby-sitting
the girl, but would leave Hernandez alone
with her while she prepared food.
The girl told her father about the
molestation, which according to prosecutors included acts of intercourse and oral
copulation, around five years after it
ended, at which time her father contacted
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge
Lisa Novak gave Hernandez credit for 864
days time served. She also ordered him to
register as a sex offender, submit to genetic testing and pay associated fines and
fees, prosecutors said.

Sexual assault suspect gets no bail

A South San Francisco man who was
arrested Thursday in connection with a
sexual assault in Pacifica was in court
Monday but did not enter a plea, according
to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Alberto Umali, 19, faces charges of kidnapping, sexual assault, resisting arrest
and attempted murder.
A judge did not grant him bail and he
remains in custody. Umali is seeking a private defender to represent him.
Officers from the Pacifica Police
Department responded at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 3
to the area of Gypsy Hill Road on a report
a woman had been seen screaming and running from a vehicle.
An arriving officer heard a woman
scream, located the victim and determined

THE DAILY JOURNAL

she had been the victim of a sexual assault,
police said.
The officer saw a man running down a
nearby wooded hillside and pursued the
suspect, later identified as Umali, until
other officers arrived on the scene.
Officers chased Umali and were able to
take him into custody after a brief struggle, police said.
Police said the suspect assaulted an officer and tried to take his firearm during the
struggle. Umali also allegedly grabbed a
tree branch in an attempt to slash his own
neck, according to prosecutors.

Woman allegedly
drove recklessly, struck parked
care while on prescription drugs
Police arrested a motorist who allegedly
got behind the wheel after taking medication on Saturday in Pacifica and drove on
the wrong side of the road before being
involved in a hit-and-run, police said.
At 8:15 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to the area of Linda Mar and Oddstad
boulevards based on reports of a reckless
driver traveling on the wrong side of the
road, police said.
While responding to the scene, officers
learned that the vehicle crashed into a
parked car and then fled from the incident,
police said.
The driver, identified by police as 41year-old Monica Keller, was later found at
a nearby residence.
Officers determined that she was operating a vehicle after taking prescription
medication, police said.
Keller was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs,
according to police.

Homeland secretary: U.S.

revising terror alert system
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

David Bowdich, FBI Los Angeles asssistant director in charge, speaks during a news conference about last weeks
shooting in San Bernardino.

FBI: Killers radicalized for quite some time

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN BERNARDINO The San

Bernardino killers had been radicalized for quite some time and
had taken target practice at area
gun ranges, in one instance just
days before the attack that left 14
people dead, the FBI said Monday.
In a chilling twist, authorities
also disclosed that a year before
the rampage, Syed Farooks coworkers at the county health
department underwent active
shooter training in the same conference room where he and his wife
opened fire on them last week.
It was not immediately clear
whether Farook attended the late2014 session on what to do when a

gunman invades the workplace,

San Bernardino County spokeswoman Felisa Cardona said.
Two employees who survived the
attack said colleagues reacted
Wednesday by trying to do as they
had been trained dropping under
the tables and staying quiet so as
not to attract attention.
Unfortunately, the room just
didnt provide a whole lot of protection, said Corwin Porter, assistant county health director.
Farook, a 28-year-old restaurant
inspector born in the U.S. to a
Pakistani family, and Tashfeen
Malik, a 29-year-old immigrant
from Pakistan, went on the rampage at a holiday luncheon at about
the same time Malik pledged alle-

giance to the Islamic State group

on Facebook, authorities said. The
Muslim couple were killed hours
later in a gunbattle with police.
We have learned and believe
that both subjects were radicalized
and have been for quite some
time, said David Bowdich, chief
of the FBIs Los Angeles office.
He added: The question were
trying to get at is how did that happen and by whom and where did
that happen? And I will tell you
right now we dont know those
answers.
He also said the couple had taken
target practice at ranges in the Los
Angeles metropolitan area, with
one session held within days of the
rampage.

Syrian-born U.S. citizen charged with smuggling to militants

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALEXANDRIA, Va. A Syrianborn U.S. citizen has been charged

with smuggling rifle scopes,
night-vision goggles and other
military-style gear from the
United States to Islamic militants
in his home country.
According to an indictment
unsealed Friday, Amin al-Baroudi
personally brought the gear to
Syria and arranged other ship-

ments between 2011 and 2013.

The goods went to the insurgent
group Ahrar el-Sham, which aims
to establish an Islamic state in
Syria and fights alongside alQaidas official branch there, federal prosecutors said.
In February 2013, according to
the indictment, the 50-year-old
man boarded a flight from Los
Angeles to Turkey with 14 pieces
of checked luggage weighing more
than 600 pounds total. He brought

the goods across the border to

Syria and returned to Los Angeles
the next month with only two
checked bags, prosecutors said.
Al-Baroudi, a former resident of
Irvine, California, was arrested
Thursday at Washington Dulles
International Airport, court documents show. His attorney,
Anthony Capozzolo, said in court
Monday that al-Baroudi had been
living in Saudi Arabia before
returning to the United States.

WASHINGTON The Obama

administration will announce
changes to the terror alert system
in the coming days, Homeland
Security Secretary Jeh Johnson
said Monday.
Johnson described the change as
a new alert system, which he said
would better inform the public
about threats to the United States,
but he did not provide specific
details.
This will be the third change to
how the Homeland Security
Department warns the public about
security concerns since the Sept.
11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The
much maligned color-coded system
was replaced in 2011 by the
National Terrorism Advisory
System, which has never been
used.
Johnson announced the new alert
system during a forum with Defense
One magazine. He said the National
Terrorism Advisory System hasnt
been used because it requires a specific, credible threat to the U.S. in

Secret Service agent

sentenced in currency theft
SAN FRANCISCO A federal
judge on Monday sentenced a former Secret Service agent to nearly
six years in prison following his
conviction on charges related to the
theft of electronic currency during a
high-profile investigation into the
online drug bazaar Silk Road.
Shaun Bridges attorneys had
sought a three-year prison term,
but U.S. District Judge Richard
Seeborg said Bridges behavior
was a shocking and reprehensible
abandonment of his public duty.
This to me is an extremely serious crime consisting of the
betrayal of public trust by a federal
law enforcement agent, Seeborg
said before issuing the 71-month
prison sentence. And from everything I see, it was motivated
entirely by greed.

order to be activated. The new effort

will include an intermediate step,
he said.
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said later Monday that the
alert system wasnt being replaced,
but rather tweaked to be more effective. He said a review of the system
had been doing on for quite some
time.
You should not consider this a
replacement of this program, but
rather some important reforms of
the program that would allow it to
be more effectively used to communicate with the American public,
Earnest told reporters.
The plan to change the system
was announced in the wake of the
mass shooting in San Bernardino,
California, which the FBI has
declared a terrorism investigation.
The FBI is investigating the possibility that shooting suspects Syed
Farook and Tashfeen Malik were
inspired by the Islamic State group
to carry out the attacks that killed
14 people attending a holiday
luncheon at a social services facility.

Prosecutor: Shooting death
of stabbing suspect justified
SAN FRANCISCO Merced
Countys district attorney has concluded that police were justified in
the shooting death of an 18-yearold student who went on a stabbing
rampage at a central California university last month, injuring four.
District Attorney Larry D. Morse
II announced Monday that a review
showed that the death of 18-yearold Faisal Mohammad on Nov. 4
was warranted given the imminent
threat he presented to officers.
Authorities say that Mohammad,
a freshman from Santa Clara,
California, burst into a classroom
at the University of California,
Merced and slashed fellow students
over a dispute about a study group.

Venezuelan opposition wins

Congress, aims for supermajority
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelas
opposition rejoiced Monday after its shock
triumph in legislative elections and waited
anxiously for the final tally to see whether it
secured a two-thirds supermajority that could
dramatically wrest power from President
Nicolas Maduro after 17 years of socialist
rule. The Democratic Unity opposition
alliance declared Monday that it won the minimum number of seats needed to initiate a
process to remove Maduro. But despite the
efficiency and transparency promised by the
countrys electronic voting system, the
National Electoral Council has yet to
announce the results of 22 undecided races,
almost a full day after polls closed.
The opposition coalition won at least 99
seats in the incoming 167-seat legislature,
electoral authorities announced after midnight Sunday, setting off a cacophony of car
honks and fireworks in the capitals wealthier eastern neighborhoods. The ruling
Socialist party and its allies won 46 seats.
The opposition coalition needs 13 of the
22 undecided races to give it the supermajority needed to sack Supreme Court justices, initiate a referendum to revoke Maduros mandate and even convoke an assembly to rewrite
Hugo Chavezs 1999 constitution.

Around the world

Report: U.S. donors pump
millions into Israeli settlements
JERUSALEM Private American donors
have pumped more than $220 million into
Jewish West Bank settlements in recent years
through tax-deductible donations, effectively
subsidizing a policy opposed by U.S. administrations for decades, according to an investigation published in an Israeli newspaper on
Monday.
The Haaretz daily found that some 50 nonprofit organizations from across the U.S.
were raising funds for settlements in the West
Bank, an area the Palestinians want as part of
a future state, along with east Jerusalem and
the Gaza Strip.
Israel captured all three areas in the 1967
Mideast war.
The newspaper said the moneys taxdeductible status means the U.S. government
is incentivizing and indirectly supporting
the Israeli settlement movement, even
though Washington opposes settlement construction and views it as an obstacle to peace
with the Palestinians.
Peace talks collapsed last year and a wave
of Israeli-Palestinian violence is entering its
third month.

Syria says three troops killed by

U.S. strikes; U.S. blames Russia
By Zeina karam and Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syria on Monday accused the

U.S.-led coalition of bombing an army camp
in the eastern part of the country, killing
three Syrian soldiers and wounding 13, but a
senior U.S. military official said the
Pentagon is certain the strike was from a
Russian warplane.
The dispute over the deadly airstrike underscored the increasingly chaotic skies over
Syria as various powers hit targets in the warravaged country. The U.S.-led alliance began
its airstrikes in Syria in September 2014,
while Russias air campaign began a year
later. In a letter to the United Nations, the
government in Damascus said four aircraft
from the coalition targeted the army camp in
the eastern city of Deir el-Zour on Sunday
night. In addition to the casualties among the
troops, it said the attack destroyed armored

and other vehicles, and a weapons and ammunition depot.

This hampers efforts to combat terrorism
and proves once again that this coalition
lacks seriousness and credibility to effectively fight terrorism, said the letter, which was
published in Syrian state media. The government refers to all those fighting to overthrow
President Bashar Assad as terrorists.
It was the first time Syria has accused the
U.S.-led coalition of hitting its troops.
The U.S. denied the claim, saying four
alliance airstrikes in the eastern province of
Deir el-Zour all hit oil wells about 55 kilometers (34 miles) southeast of where the
Syrian government said its camp was struck.
We did not strike any vehicles or personnel targets in this area. We have no indication any Syrian soldiers were even near our
strikes, the coalition statement said, adding
that it takes allegations of potential collateral damage seriously and investigates them.

Letters to the editor

Bridgepointe ice rink
cannot be replaced for $3M
Editor,
I am writing to express my concern that
the Bridgepointe ice rink in San Mateo
may be rezoned as a retail store. San Mateo
has a tremendous amount of retail stores
and does not need additional shopping
opportunities. However, San Mateo is critically short of indoor recreational facilities
for the whole family. Further, the specic
rink, the Bridgepointe ice rink is the only
full-sized ice rink in San Mateo and has
launched many professional and Olympic
skating careers. This historic ice rink cannot be replaced by yet another trendy retail
outlet.
It is my understanding that the developer,
who purchased this rink nearly a decade
ago, has tried multiple times to close the
rink and has now offered the city $3 million to allow it to be rezoned. The $3 million offered cannot replace that rink
because a full-sized ice rink cannot be purchased or built in that location for a mere
$3 million. Both of my children ice skate.
We frequent all of the local rinks out of
necessity as there is simply not enough ice
time for the demand. If the Bridgepointe ice
rink were open, I have no doubt that my
children would spend more than an hour a
day at that location, skating and making
friends. We currently spend more than an
hour a day traveling to other rinks as far
away as San Jose in order for my children
to get the training they need.

We cannot afford to lose

the Bridgepointe ice rink
Editor,
The people of San Mateo need the
Bridgepointe ice rink. We cannot afford to
lose this valued and well-loved recreational
amenity. The community has already suffered because SPI shuttered the rink over
two years ago, hoping that people would
give up and lose interest in the rink. But
we should not reward them for cheating our
community. They have avoided legal action
by saying the master plan called for a recreational amenity like an ice rink but did not
mandate it be operational. This is absurd.
Our community has had to sit and watch
the ice rink sit idle. Families have been
forced to drive to other rinks outside our
community to participate in overcrowded
leagues and programs. Or, like my family,
have given up skating and hockey altogether. SPI has denied our community of a
unique gathering spot for people of all ages
and abilities, a recreational outlet for people to use regardless of weather or season.
The City Council must realize that a
healthy, thriving city needs diverse recreational opportunities for its citizens. With
all the new housing being built around San
Mateo, the council needs to act to ensure

Ice skating was a precious world

Editor,
My name is Alex and I am a 13-year-old
girl who was affected by the closure of the
Ice Center of San Mateo. I started skating
there when I was 5 and was a member of the
gure skating club until the rink was forced
to close in 2013. I was at the rink three to
four times a week for lessons, skating competitions, skating shows, public skating,
birthday parties and most importantly to
see my friends.
The Ice Center of San Mateo was not just
an ordinary ice rink but a very special place
where people were brought together like a
big extended family. It was the only rink
where your competitors would cheer for
you, because they were your friends too.
People took care of each other and shared
whatever they had. It was a welcoming
place lled with life, energy and love for
all those who came. Since the Ice Center of
San Mateo closed, I am no longer able to
see many of my friends and I no longer
skate. I tried to go to another rink for lessons but it didnt work out because they
dont have evening public skating hours. It
also took my mom a long time to get me
there after school because of the horrible
trafc.
How can adults complain about kids
spending too much time on social media,
playing computer games and not getting
enough exercise when they are the ones
who are taking away fun things for us to
do? Please help me bring back our ice rink
so we can get off our computers, skate
again and see our friends. Thank you.

A $3 million for a $12 million rink?

Editor,
Do you think that the city of San Mateo
should accept a $3 million bribe in
exchange for tearing down a $12 million
ice rink? Do you think we need more big
box stores, not more places for our kids to
play? Do you think the city should put the
prots of an out-of-town developer ahead
of the recreational needs of our rapidly
expanding population?
Please attend Tuesdays 7:30 p.m.
Planning Commission meeting at City
Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave. Tell the city of San
Mateo to vote against the plan to demolish
the San Mateo ice rink.

Disabled cannot
defend themselves
Editor,
As I watched the San Bernardino mass
shooting unfold, it was unbelievable! The
regional centers (like Golden Gate
Regional Centers) case managements are
there to work and help people with developmental disabilities with their lifestyles
such as living independently with attendants. Each caseworker and each individual
has a plan or goals for their daily living.
Being upset with someone does not give
them the right to kill everyone in sight. I
do not care how furious a person is at a particular person, killing everyone is not justice.
The disabled cannot defend themselves. I
know because I am one of them. Many or
none of the people with disabilities can
physically handle a gun to protect themselves and, like me, I have attendants and
they cannot carry a rearm to work and the
agencies will not allow caregivers to be
armed.
In-home supportive service caregivers
who enroll to become individual providers
must undergo live scans and other agencies
must conduct criminal background checks
even if an individual is just applying for
housing programs. How do the people with
disabilities protect themselves and their
caregivers? It was a stupid and selsh act.

Helen Lo

Gun violence and gun protection

Editor,
It is irrefutable fact that gun violence is
greater in those cities and states that have
the strictest gun control laws. The states
and cities that have the least restrictive gun
laws and allow concealed weapons to be
carried have the least gun violence and
crime.
Personally I do not like guns, but I found
it very interesting that the president, when
he went to France, did not choose to stay
in a luxury hotel but instead in the
Presidential Palace where he was wellguarded with plenty of guns.
I also nd it interesting that politicians
at the federal level provide themselves cars
with an armed chauffer.
Lastly, there have been a lot of attacks
on police across the nation. These attacks
are both verbal and physical. Some of
those attacks may be justied, but I think
we can all agree that the performance of the
police in San Bernardino was fantastic.
Please realize that police work is mostly
negative. No one wants them until they
need them.

rom my rst job as a busboy, my

father would urge me to be the best in
whatever I sought out to achieve.
However humbling the task, he instructed me
to hold my head high nevertheless. He urged
me to take pride as I mopped oors, removed
garbage and greeted customers, regardless of
the fact that it was not my lifelong endeavor.
Putting forth our greatest efforts in tasks
however meaningful or remedial, he would
say, allows us to improve our own lives, as
well as the lives around us.
Those experiences come to
mind when I
think of worldrenowned poet
Douglas
Mallochs poem,
Be the Best of
Whatever You
Are. Malloch
wrote, if you
cannot be a pine
on the top of the
hill, be a scrub in
the valley but
Jonathan Madison
be the best little
scrub.
Malloch went on to say that, for those of
us who cannot be captains, we must be the
crew. If you cannot be the sun, embody a
bright and shining star, he said. The crux of
Mallochs message lies in the truth that it is
not by size that we ultimately achieve success in life. Rather, it is by our illimitable
efforts to be the best in whatever we set out
to achieve.
At the heart of Mallochs sentiments is a
reminder that each of us serves a divine purpose in our world. That purpose is to manifest the great story of our human existence. It
is ultimately our effort that determines how
rich and lasting those experiences will be.
Equally important are our choices, which
ultimately determine what our human experiences will entail. Whether we practice law,
medicine, engineering or serve as a busboy
or cashier, those experiences are less important than the effort and pride we place in
every beloved moment of our life experiences. Riddled in this story is the resilient
ame of the human spirit a story of endless failures and triumphs, and of impermanent victories and defeats.
Dr. Martin Luther King echoed similar sentiments in one of his most renowned sermons: The Parable of the Street Sweeper.
Dr. King commanded his congregation that,
even if it called their lot to be a street sweeper, they should sweep streets like Beethoven
composed music. Sweep streets like
Shakespeare wrote poetry, he told them. He
went on to say they should sweep streets so
well that all of Heaven and Earth would have
to pause and say, Here lived a great street
sweeper.
The vast majority of us carry dreams and
visions that far surpass the optimism of even
our closest friends and family. For many, it
may be the dream of becoming a skilled

The tumbling price of crude oil will mean lower jet-fuel bills for

NEW YORK A sharp drop in the

price of oil on Monday rattled
investors and helped push stocks
lower across several industries.
Investors sold from the start of trading following a decision by OPEC last
week not to cut production.
Benchmark U.S. crude dropped nearly
6 percent, deepening its stunning 1
1/2 year plunge, to close at its lowest
level in nearly seven years. The losses
were broad, with seven of the 10 industry sectors in the Standard & Poors
500 index closing lower.
As they have all year, oil drillers
bore the brunt of the selling. Chevron
and Exxon Mobil, both members of
the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial
average, each fell nearly 3 percent.
There was a big hope that OPEC
would announce a production cut, but it
just didnt happen, said Mizuho
Securities Chief Economist Steven
Ricchiuto. He added: The whole world
is facing excess supply as the global
economy slows.
The Dow gave up 117.12 points, or
0.7 percent, to 17,730.51. The S&P
500 fell 14.62 points, or 0.7 percent,
to 2,077.07. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 40.46 points, or 0.8 percent,
to 5,101.81.

Airlines stocks were among the winners as investors anticipated bigger
profits thanks to falling fuel costs.
JetBlue Airways jumped $1.01, or 4
percent, to $26.49. Delta Air Lines
also rose 4 percent, gaining $2 to
close at $51.78.
In theory, lower oil prices should
help many stocks because consumers
often spend money elsewhere that they
save at the pump or on heating bills.
But investors have been disappointed.
Retailers have been waiting for the
pump-price dividend to filter into their

stores, but for the most part were not

seeing it, said Jack Ablin, chief
investment officer at BMO Private
Bank.
Meanwhile, the shift in the U.S. to
producing more oil has made the stock
market more vulnerable to price
swings in the commodity.
In each of the past three quarters, as
oil prices have tanked, earnings per
share for energy companies in the S&P
500 have dropped more than 50 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ, a

From food to makeup, Star Wars stuff is out of this world

LOS ANGELES Right now, in a store

not too far away, there is a galaxy of new
merchandise connected to Star Wars: The
Force Awakens.
Beyond the usual action figures and
apparel, the seventh installment in the
space franchise (and the first from merchandise-driven Disney) boasts a broader array
of branded products than ever before: from
Chewbacca Coffee-Mate creamer (Wookiees
drink coffee?) and Star Wars mascara to
$400 designer Death Star shoes and a

Keurig, maker of single-cup

coffee machines, is being sold
NEW YORK The battle over the worlds
coffee drinkers is getting hotter.
Keurig, the maker of single-cup coffee
machines that sit on millions of kitchen
counters, agreed to sell itself Monday for
almost $14 billion. The buyer, JAB
Holding Co., is a private company with a
growing java business.

$4,000 Millennium Falcon bed.

Its wider and broader and deeper and covers more age ranges and is less gender specific than anything I have ever seen for
Star Wars, said Steve Sansweet,
Lucasfilms former director of fan relations
and Guinness world record holder for the
largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia.
Expanding the universe of Star Wars
merchandise internationally was part of
Disneys original vision when it acquired
Lucasfilm, he said: It was very clear from
the front, and they have followed their game
plan.
Star Wars toys have always played an

important role in how our fans interact with

the Saga, Lucasfilm president Kathleen
Kennedy said when the first Force
Awakens collectibles were introduced earlier this year. Theyve inspired multiple
generations to relive the experience of the
movies and to create new adventures all
their own. These spectacular Star Wars: The
Force Awakens products will continue that
tradition.
The result is an amazingly diverse range
of branded items, from the unexpected
(light-up lightsaber chopsticks) to the
unbelievable (haute couture Stormtrooper
wear). International offerings have grown
in scope and distinction, too, with local

licensees and artisans interpreting the iconic characters for their cultures.
Sansweet recently added some Japanese
items to his collection, including soy sauce
plates and little kokeshi dolls, which are
typical of a small community in Japan, he
said. Theyre usually carved in traditional
format of samurai or geisha or something
like that, and now theres a whole series of
Star Wars (characters).
Retired from Lucasfilm, Sansweet now
shares his Star Wars collection with the
public through his nonprofit Rancho ObiWan museum in Petaluma, California, where
he offers educational tours and hosts private
events, including two weddings.

Fans of Keurig may not see much of a difference in their caffeine fix. JAB Holding
said Keurig will operate independently and
remain in its headquarters in Waterbury,
Vermont.

U.S. consumer credit
rises $16 billion in October

The Keurig deal will help boost JAB

Holdings already robust coffee empire. The
Luxembourg-based company has a controlling stake in Jacobs Douwe Egberts, the
company behind Gevalia, Tassimo and
many other brands.

WASHINGTON U.S. consumers borrowed more heavily for auto and student
loans in October, taking out debt that helps
them find jobs and commute to work.
The Federal Reserve said Monday that consumer borrowing rose $16 billion in October

to $3.5 trillion. But the pace of borrowing

decelerated sharply from the $28.5 billion
increase in September. Nearly all of the
October gain came from the category that
covers auto and student loans, while credit
card borrowing edged up a mere $200 million. The increase suggests that more
Americans are borrowing to improve their
educational skills and upgrade their cars and
trucks, instead of relying on debt to fund their
daily shopping and emergency expenses.

McCaffrey among three Heisman Trophy finalists

By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Alabamas Derrick Henry

and Stanfords Christian McCaffrey are hoping to return to the Heisman Trophy to the
running backs. Clemsons Deshaun Watson
can keep it with the QBs.
The two star running backs with very different styles and the dual-threat quarterback
of the No. 1 team in the country are headed
for New York after being named Heisman
finalists Monday night.

Henry and McCaffrey

will be looking to break
a five-year streak of quarterbacks winning college
footballs top honor
when the trophy is presented Saturday night in
Midtown Manhattan.
Mark
Ingram
of
Alabama in 2009 was the
Christian
last running back and
McCaffrey
only Crimson Tide player
to win the Heisman. Since 2000, 13 of the

15 Heisman winners have been quarterbacks.

Among those missing out on a trip to New
York City was Oklahoma quarterback Baker
Mayfield, LSU running back Leonard
Fournette, who was the early season
favorite, and Navy quarterback Keenan
Reynolds.
Henry seems to be the front runner in a
Heisman race that tightened over championship weekend. He ran for 189 yards and a
touchdown on 44 carries in the Alabamas
Southeastern Conference championship
game victory against Florida on Saturday.

Gem of the state crown

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Katie Smoots season started with a Billy

Joel concert and ended with a trip to
Disneyland. In between, the Notre DameBelmont senior did a lot of volleyballing, and
helped make history in the process, as the junior outside hitter led the Tigers to the programs first ever CIF state championship title.
It was a remarkable week for the 6-1 Smoot,
who tabbed double-doubles in each the
Northern California Division IV finals against
Marin Catholic last Tuesday (25 kills, 12 digs)
and again at Saturdays DIV state championship match against Laguna Blanca-Santa
Barbara (20 kills, 13 digs).
All told, Smoot totaled 45 kills and 25 digs
in a total of just seven sets, no less to
cap the 2015 volleyball season with the two
biggest wins in Notre Dame-Belmont history,
earning her a long-time-coming Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week nod.
Even with one of the Tigers finest all-around
performances of the season in Saturdays state
championship sweep at Santiago Canyon
College, Smoot was still intent on dissecting
the highs and lows of the teams performance,
just like she would any other match.
I think we did play really well, Smoot said.
I think one of the things we could have worked
on more is moving the ball better on our side
and having less communication errors.
It was fitting Smoot turned in a blazing finish after such a frustrating start to her season.
After leading Notre Dame to the Nor Cal finals
as a sophomore in 2014 when the Tigers
were ousted one match shy of the state finals
Smoot was intent on returning with a
vengeance.
Suffering an ankle injury at the outset of the
season, though, it didnt quite start out that
way. Smoot missed Notre Dames first seven
matches this year, not making her season
debut until Sept. 16 against Aragon.
There was a benefit to being sidelined
though. While Notre Dame was opening its
season Sept. 5 at the prestigious Spikefest
tournament in Milpitas, Smoot instead attended the highly anticipated Billy Joel concert at
AT&T Park.

score ... maybe?

ike a lot of teams do, Hillsdales

Noah Fitzhugh was called up to
the varsity team for the playoffs
after a strong showing during the regular
season at the junior varsity level.
In the Central Coast Section championship game Friday night, Fitzhugh may
have scored a touchdown.
Youll have to bear with me, because it
is not completely clear-cut. At this point,
its more circumstantial evidence that
leads me to this conclusion.
First of all, on the play in question,
Hillsdale running back Cameron Taylor
was churning toward the end zone. There
was a pileup on the goal line and I see a
player at the bottom of the pile,
holding on to the
ball, over the goal
line.
My initial reaction? Taylor scored
a touchdown. But
then I noticed the
referees huddle for
moment, Fitzhugh
holding the ball
over his head.
When the ofcials
signaled a touchdown, Fitzhugh went
bouncing toward the Hillsdale sideline,
holding the ball aloft.
During a break in the action, I check the
pictures on my cameras memory card. On
one shot, there is Taylor trying to break a
tackle. The next shot shows the ball ying free through the air from about the 1
1/2-yard line.
Then you have Fitzhugh with the ball.
Add two and two together and Im saying
it was Fitzhugh who scored. He certainly
celebrated like a player who had fallen on
a loose ball in the end zone.
I didnt identify him in my story
because he was not on the roster. I called
Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi and asked if
he had watched the lm from the game.
He didnt get that far before turning off
the tape. Too soon to watch Aptos 41-24
victory.

Week by week, Blaine Gabbert keeps getting better

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Jim Tomsula took notice

during Blaine Gabberts days as a backup quarterback for San Francisco how he arrived to
work each morning at 6 a.m., cup of coffee in
hand, ready to study film.
Like hes going to start, Tomsula recalled
Monday. This is all of last year you see the
guy constantly doing those things. And then
you say hes 25 years old. Sometimes being
able to look at it from a different vantage
point can do a world of good for you.
Now that Gabbert is under center as the

Niners No. 1, all of those

extra hours of preparation
seem to be paying off
enough so that he should
be in the conversation for
the franchises future
plans, such as competing
for the starting job in
2016.
Gabbert is certainly
Blaine Gabbert
showing he could be the
right fit going forward for San Francisco, and
vice versa.
He ran 44 yards for the tying touchdown late
in regulation, then completed a 71-yard pass

to Torrey Smith for the game-winner in overtime to beat the Chicago Bears 26-20 on
Sunday at Soldier Field.
It was crazy. The emotional highs and the
emotional lows throughout any NFL football
game are wild, Gabbert said. Especially in a
game like that, a close one back and forth,
coming down to the wire there at the end of
regulation.
The same could be said for the former firstround draft picks up-and-down career.
Jacksonville selected Gabbert 10th overall in
the 2011 draft, but until he led the 49ers to a
victory against Atlanta on Nov. 8, he hadnt
started an NFL game since Week 5 of the 2013

season with the Jaguars.

Now, he has thrown for 963 yards and five
touchdowns in four starts for the 49ers (4-8)
with three interceptions.
Who knew Gabbert could run like he did
down the stretch?
Hes taking what the defense gives him and
not trying to force anything, running back
Shaun Draughn said Monday. Hes a smart
guy and definitely knows, from a study standpoint, the tendencies of a defense.
That big-play ability is helping the 49ers
forget about the demoted and injured Colin

Continued from page 11
Not that Smoots loyalty to her team
is in question. Last season, when Notre
Dame hosted its first annual Tiger Cup
Tournament, Smoot a lifelong San
Francisco Giants fan turned down
tickets to Game 4 of the 2014 World
Series. So, a concert at the Giants
home yard might be viewed as quite
deserved.
Smoot did the concert in style. Her
date for the show was her mother Lisa
who, being the Billy Joel fan in the
family, landed field seats 20 rows from
stage, putting them smack dab at the
shortstop position of the AT&T Park
infield. Smoot even discovered a
favorite Billy Joel song at the show
Piano Man, off course and inherited her mothers fandom of the rock-androll legend in the process.
Less than two weeks later, though,
Smoot was back on the court. With a
heavily taped ankle a routine she
continued even through Saturdays
championship match she opened the
season against Aragon with a then
career-high 21 kills. She went on to
post double-digit kills in all but eight
of Notre Dames 42 matches on the year.
Smoots hot start seemed to belie
logic, considering junior Kristine Gese
was starting her first full season as the
Tigers starting setter. But the two
reestablished their chemistry immediately, benefitting from having played
volleyball together since the fifth
grade.
It didnt hurt that last year Gese started the first 15 games of the season
while then senior setter Lisa Morabe
was sidelined with an injury. Gese went
on to play in 18 matches last season
until Morabe returned to full strength.
The Tigers won all 18 of those matches.
Playing with her so long, weve
grown more together, Smoot said.
But even with Smoot ranking second
in the West Catholic Athletic League
with 4.9 kills per set this season, Gese
has fueled a versatile Tigers attack.
Junior outside hitter Tammy Byrne
ranked fourth in the WCAL with 3.3
kills per set this season. And senior
middle blocker Jess Beering finished

her high school volleyball career with

her second back-toback, double-digit
kill matches coming
in the Nor Cal and
state finals.
[Gese]
knows
where to put it,
Katie Smoot where our strong
hitters are, Smoot
said. As far as growing together, its
gotten more like a Yoda thing with her.
Shes got great chemistry.
Geses Yoda thing won her the WCAL
setting crown by a massive margin. The
junior totaled 1,478 assists and was the
only player in the WCAL to surpass the
1,000-assists plateau. And Smoot single-handedly put Gese over the prestigious benchmark, totaling 515 kills on
the year.
All those numbers, of course, went
out the proverbial window come
Saturdays state championship showdown. And despite Notre Dames six
consecutive postseason wins to that
point taking Central Coast Section
and Nor Cal titles in the process
Smoot said the Tigers were not immune
to butterflies that come with playing on
such a grand stage.
I was pretty nervous. Im not going
to lie, Smoot said. That was a huge
game and everyone shared the nervousness. But after that first game, we got it
out of our systems.
Smoots diamond-sharp precision to
open the match was the quintessential
calming effect on her teammates. The
Tigers won the first four points on the
afternoon and commanded a wire-towire lead in a 25-14 win in Game 1, with
Smoot rocking nine kills in the set.
I think thats the biggest motivation
you can get because volleyball is such a
momentum game, Smoot said.
Getting the first few points was like,
OK, we can get the next one. It was like
a domino effect, I think.
In Game 2, Byrne and Beering opened
strong to help Notre Dame to a 7-6 lead.
Smoots first kill of the set tooling a
shot off middle gave the Tigers a 9-7
advantage. Smoot went on to total
seven kills and two aces in the 25-18
second-set win.
In a 25-19 win in Game 3, she and
senior libero Katarina Warburton provided a stalwart and spectacle of a defen-

sive show. Smoots six set digs were the

stalwart of the act. Warburton provided
the spectacle, covering the court with a
series of remarkable diving plays to
rack up eight of her team-high 14 match
digs.
Then, with the match winding down,
and Notre Dame well on its way to the
crown, Smoot rotated through the front
row to cap a five-kill performance in the
decisive set. Scorching a kill off the left
side, she gave the Tigers a 22-15 lead.
Transitioning to the right side, she
forced a side-out for match point with
another gem of a kill.
Fittingly, the side-out sent Smoot to
the service line. And the junior who
saw her 2014 season end in a simmering fever of disappointment with a loss
in the Nor Cal finals focused her previous years journey into one rocketfire serve for an ace to give Notre Dame
the state title.
Not that it was apparent Notre Dame
had just made program history with the
teams reaction. Sure, the Tigers raced
to middle court to celebrate, but not in a
frenzied dog pile like so many champions do. No, the Tigers went about their
postgame business only with an everyday team huddle to hug it out, then modestly retreated to the sideline for the
postgame awards ceremony.
We just wanted to get that win so bad
it just took so much out of us, Smoot
said. We just wanted to take it all out
on the court.
The Tigers did celebrate through the
night though, saving the party for a trip
to Disneyland, closing out the Magic
Kingdom on a Saturday night. Many of
the players returned Sunday on a twoday pass, though Smoot only got to
swing through the park for an hour as
she opted to spend the afternoon on a
recruiting visit to UC Irvine.
Smoot did have time to enjoy one
Disneyland ride Sunday though.
The Indiana Jones ride is my
favorite, Smoot said. I like the boulder coming down at the end.
Like Indiana Jones did while outrunning the boulder in the iconic opening
scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark,
Smoot also escaped with a coveted idle
the CIF Division IV state championship trophy.
And if the junior has her way, next
years sequel *spoiler alert* will end the
exact same way.

or many scoreboard points until the final 1 1/2 minutes. Perhaps
fittingly, a fumbled punt return by Washingtons DeSean
Jackson deep in his own territory led to Dallas only touchdown.
Dez Bryants sideline pouting aside, the receiver and the
Cowboys will gladly accept the victory, because it means
theyre somehow still in the thick of the
playoff chase in the woeful NFC East.
With a wild finish capping an otherwise
dull game filled with turnovers, punts and
penalties, the Cowboys edged the Redskins
19-16 on Dan Baileys 54-yard field goal
with 9 seconds left Monday night.
After combining to score 18 points in the
first 58 1/2 minutes, the teams combined for
17 the frenzied rest of the way. Dallas scored
Dan Bailey
the games first TD with 74 seconds remaining to lead 16-9 after recovering Jacksons miscue on an illadvised return, Washington tied it on Jacksons 28-yard TD
catch, and then Bailey hit the go-ahead kick.
The last-place Cowboys (4-8) won for the first time this season without Tony Romo at quarterback, and made quite a jumble
of their division. They are only one game behind the Redskins,
New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, who are all 5-7.
Records arent good, but theyre good teams, Redskins
coach Jay Gruden said.
Washington had won its past five home games, but this loss
continued a pattern: The Redskins have not won in consecutive
weeks all season.
We just had some unforced errors, Gruden said.
Bryant was yelling and cursing and generally carrying on
along the Cowboys sideline in the first half, apparently upset
about not being thrown the ball. By halftime, he had zero catches and had been targeted twice.
He finished with three receptions for 62 yards, including a diving 42-yard grab that led to what else? a field goal.

Kaepernicks remarkable, almost unprecedented, freefall from among the NFLs elite QBs.
Kaepernick had largely been considered
the heir apparent to Hall of Famers Joe
Montana and Steve Young when former
coach Jim Harbaugh promoted him in
November 2012 over Alex Smith and
Kaepernick immediately led the team to a
Super Bowl.
He is now recovering from surgery on his
non-throwing left shoulder and his time with
the organization could be over.
In a turbulent year for more than just
Kaepernick, the 49ers finally earned a hardfought road win at Chicago after beginning
0-5 away from Levis Stadium. Gabberts
leadership played a key role in the result.
You really saw the peaks and valleys of NFL
football right there, he said. Our guys did a
tremendous job on both sides of the football,
fighting through the adversity, playing clutch
football and coming out with a victory.
Gabbert has grabbed his opportunity to
say the least, a much-needed second chance
he hopes lasts well beyond this season.
Hes been really steady, Tomsula said.
Again, the way hes approached his job
since hes been here has been really impressive. I think since youve seen him in games
on Sundays, youve seen him progress. Hes
moving along well. Blaine is a talented quarterback. But, were really excited about
where hes at and where hes heading. We

margins.
The last time there was real suspense at
the Heisman presentation was 2009, when
Ingram received only 1 percent more of the
vote than Stanfords Toby Gerhart. By percentage, that ranks as the closest Heisman
vote in history.

MLBPA files a
grievance over
suspension of
Nats Papelbon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The players association has filed a grievance over the Washington
Nationals four-game suspension of Jonathan
Papelbon that followed the pitchers fight with
teammate Bryce Harper.
The grievance was filed shortly after the suspension was announced Sept. 28, costing
Papelbon $284,153 of his
$13 million salary.
Thats business. Its
not personal between
Papelbon
and
the
Nationals, or Nationals
to
Papelbon,
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said
Monday.
Jonathan
Unless settled or withPapelbon
drawn, the grievance
would be heard by arbitrator Fredric
Horowitz, most likely during spring training.
On the next-to-last weekend of the season,
Harper flied out and headed to the dugout,
where he and Papelbon exchanged words.
The argument escalated, and Papelbon
reached out with his left hand and grabbed
Harper by the throat. Papelbon shoved the
outfielder toward the bench with both hands.
Rizzo said Harper, the NL MVP, had spoken
with Papelbon since the end of the season, as
had some Nationals coaches. Papelbon, a sixtime All-Star acquired from Philadelphia in late
July, is guaranteed $11 million for next season.
Paps a part of this team. Hes on our roster.
Hes a really good late-inning pitcher. Hes had
a great career, and were glad hes on the club
and cant wait to see him closing out games
again, Rizzo said.
A 35-year-old right-hander, Papelbon displaced Drew Storen as Washingtons closer.
Rizzo said teams have inquired whether
Papelbon is available in a trade.
At this stage of his career, with the contract he has, theres been interest in him.
Theres been interest in several of our relief
pitchers, Rizzo said.
In an effort to improve the bullpen,
Washington has agreed to a $7 million, twoyear contract with 34-year-old left-hander
Oliver Perez, a deal awaiting finalization.
He gives you a really good left-on-left guy,
and if he falls back to where he was two years
ago, he was good against both sides side of the
plate, Rizzo said.

Dodgers bid for Chapman appears on hold

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. As baseballs annual winter meetings began, the proposed

trade sending Cincinnati Reds closer
Aroldis Chapman to the Los Angeles
Dodgers appeared to be on hold Monday
night after Yahoo Sports reported that
police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the pitcher.
Yahoo reported more than a dozen police
officers responded to Chapmans home in
Florida on Oct. 30. No arrests were made due
to conflicting stories and a lack of cooperation, according to the report by the website.
Police in Davie, Florida, said they could
not provide a copy of the police report on
Monday night. Jay Reisinger, Chapmans
lawyer, denied the allegations in the Yahoo
report.
We are aware of the situation and have
commenced an investigation, Major
League Baseball said in a statement.
Earlier, a person familiar with the deal
said the Reds agreed to trade Chapman to the
Dodgers, pending approval of medical

pitches in the big

Chapman would join a bullpen that already
has closer Kenley Jansen.
Kansas City has shown that a really
lights-out, super bullpen is a way of winning championships, Washington general
manager Mike Rizzo said. Youre seeing
more and more resources being put into
bullpen pieces.
In the first completed trade of the annual
swap session, Boston bolstered a suddenly
imposing bullpen, acquiring right-hander
Carson Smith and lefty Roenis Elias from

Seattle for left-hander Wade Miley and

reliever Jonathan Aro.
The 26-year-old Smith, who was 2-5 with
13 saves and a 2.31 ERA in 70 appearances
for Seattle, joins the back end of a bullpen
anchored by new closer Craig Kimbrel.
I think it really gives us another power
arm, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. It gives us a
little more depth out there.
World Series champion Kansas City made
a pair of pitching moves, announcing an
$11. 5 million, two-year contract with
right-hander Chris Young, who won the
Series opener, and agreeing to a $25 million, three-year deal with reliever Joakim
Soria that still needed to be finalized.
Him and Chris Young are very similar
people, general manager Dayton Moore
said.
After defecting from Cuba in 2009,
Chapman spent the last six seasons with
the Reds and saved 146 games in 164
chances. He had a 1.63 ERA this year, when
he struck out 116 in 66 1/3 innings.

Sarkisian sues USC
for contract breach

SPORTS

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Steve Sarkisian sued the

University of Southern California
on Monday, alleging the school
breached the football coachs contract and discriminated against him
on the basis of a disability namely alcoholism when it fired him
this fall.
Sarkisians attorneys also alleged
wrongful termination and invasion
of privacy in the complaint filed in
Los Angeles County Court.
Sarkisian contends he is owed at
least $12.6 million left on his USC
contract, along with other damages
for extreme mental anguish.
Instead of honoring the contract
it made with Steve Sarkisian, USC
kicked him to the curb, the lawsuit
reads.
The school responded sharply to
Sarkisians lawsuit later Monday.
USC general counsel Carol Mauch
Amir said the school is profoundly
disappointed by Sarkisians characterization of the circumstances
around his termination.
Much of what is stated in the lawsuit filed today by Steve Sarkisian
is patently untrue, Amir said. The
record will show that Mr. Sarkisian
repeatedly denied to university officials that he had a problem with
alcohol, never asked for time off to
get help and resisted university
efforts to provide him with help.
The university made clear in writing
that further incidents would result in
termination, as it did.

Chipotle shares slide after sales warning linked to E. coli

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Chipotle shares extended

their slide Monday after the company said an
E. coli outbreak is expected to lead to its first
sales decline since going public in 2006.
The stock fell further in after-hours trading
after Boston College said it was working with
local health officials to determine whether the
outbreak was also responsible for sickening
several of its students, including members of
its mens basketball team.
Chipotle noted that none of the cases
reported so far by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention have been in
Massachusetts. It said it closed its restaurant
in Bostons Cleveland Circle anyway while
health officials investigate.
Chipotles stock fell 6 percent to $518 in
after-hours trading, after closing down 1.7
percent Monday. The stock is down more than
20 percent since mid-October when reports of
the E. coli outbreak began to surface.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission Friday, Chipotle said sales have

been extremely volatile since early

November as a result of the outbreak. Sales
plummeted by as much as 22 percent as additional cases were reported, and were down 16
percent for all of November.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects
sales to drop between 8 and 11 percent at
established locations if current trends continue. The figure, a key measure of financial
health because it strips out the volatility of
newly opened and closed locations, has not
declined since the chain went public.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has said the outbreak has sickened
52 people in nine states. It has not yet identified the ingredient that made people sick.
The first cases were reported at the end of
October, with the most recent illness starting
on Nov. 13. About 48 million people get sick
from a foodborne illness each year, according
to the CDC.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., based in
Denver, had said that whatever the likely
ingredient was that made people sick is out of
its restaurants and that it is adopting stricter

COAST
Continued from page 1
San Mateo County, documented a range of
conditions from a massive starfish die-off
to an astronomical increase in brown rock
cod populations.
The study, which was presented by the
nonprofit California Ocean Science Trust
during a community meeting in Half Moon
Bay last week, was initiated in response to
the Legislature creating nearly 120 marine
protected areas along the coast.
Established in 1999, the Marine Life
Protection Act seeks to support the natural
diversity and abundance of marine ecosystems, improve recreational as well as educational opportunities, manage the network of habitats and more.
While it will likely be many years to
gauge the effects of establishing laws protecting marine areas, this study provides a
key baseline from which to compare future
results, said Ryan Meyer, a senior scientist with the Ocean Science Trust.
Furthermore, as the California Fish and
Game Commission will discuss the study
in April, it may help inform future policy
and management decisions, Meyer said.
The goal is to get a very broad and deep
understanding of the conditions of the
region when the marine protected areas are
established, Meyer said, noting this
study is the first of its kind for the region.
Especially in terms of the breadth of studies, we had 11 projects that looked at more
of the north central coast at the same time
than had ever been done before.

LOCAL
Marine protected areas are like living
laboratories and various marine species
such as fish, plants, birds, invertebrates
and more serve as indicators to ocean
conditions, according to the report.
Some notable findings between 2010
and 2015 included an increase in ocean
temperatures, shrinking sea kelp forests
driving sea urchins out of hiding in search
of food, a sea star wasting syndrome that
caused a massive die-off across the West
Coast beginning in 2013, and unmanned
submarines sighting more than 200 brown
rockfish in 2015 up from just five sightings in 2009 and 2011. Another impressive discovery was that 99 percent of the
more than half a million seabirds documented in the north central coast breed
adjacent to marine protected areas, Meyer
said.
The north central coast report is the second of four regional studies to be conducted through a significant collaboration
between state agencies, academic groups,
citizen scientists, school-age children,
fishermen and nonprofits.
Although its unlikely to expect significant changes in a short period of time, the
report provides a baseline by which comparisons can be made, Meyer said.
A big part of what we want to be able to
do with monitoring over many many years
is detect changes that are happening in
these systems and you need a starting
point for that. While no one is saying the
conditions in the region right now are
some kind of ultimate, conclusive static
thing having a really broad comprehensive set of results can help us be more
strategic about investing and monitoring

THE DAILY JOURNAL

going forward, Meyer said.

Furthermore, areas like San Mateo
Countys long-established Fitzgerald
Marine Reserve, which was reclassified as
the Montara State Marine Reserve and
stretches just north of Pillar Point Harbor,
provide insight into the longer term
effects of protecting habitats, Meyer said.
The California Department of Fish and
Wildlife is primarily responsible for
enforcing the rules overseeing marine protected areas which can span from completely prohibiting the taking of any
marine life to seasonally closing fisheries. Yet enforcement may also overlap to
other agencies like California State Parks,
the State Water Resources Control Board,
the Coastal Commission, the State Lands
Commission and others, Meyer said.
Of the total 215 violations issued
between 2010 and 2014, 39 percent
occurred in the local Montara reserve,
according to the report. Pillar Point
Harbor, a major commercial fishing port,
is also considered a State Marine
Conservation Area meaning only select
recreation or commercial activities are
allowed, according to the report.
This and subsequent studies could ultimately steer future policy decisions such
as managing fisheries or how to improve
water quality, Meyer said. The conditions
of the seas can have major impacts, Meyer
said, noting the current closure of commercial Dungeness crab season due to a
potentially deadly toxin linked to an algae
bloom exacerbated by warmer waters.
In addition to longer term climate
change, factors like ocean temperatures or
other impactful conditions can frequently

change year to year, Meyer said.

In many areas along the West Coast, the
average surface sea temperatures rose up to
five degrees between July 2011 and July
2015, according to the report. While not
explicitly creating predictive modeling,
studying the condition of regional marine
protected areas can offer insights, Meyer
said.
We want to understand how things are
changing and we want to understand how
thats impacting the marine protected
areas, Meyer said, noting annual variability. One year is different from the
next, and when you overlay long-term climate change on top of that, you have a
pretty complicated system that we need to
understand better in order to manage it.
Through the process of leading this
study, its been incredibly important to
build upon partnerships spanning university groups to school-age children and
state agencies to fishermen.
Each year, more than 22 million trips
made to the north central coast annually
and coastal recreation contributes $1. 2
billion to the Bay Area economy.
Ultimately, California has been a leader in
protecting its coast and the diverse
species that rely on it, Meyer said.
The oceans for Californians are
immensely important for a lot of things,
whether its fishing communities deriving
livelihoods from it or recreation, Meyer
said. Its part of Californians identity.
Theres a sense that its part of what
defines us as Californians.

As many as 200 sickened in

Seattle tower norovirus outbreak
SEATTLE As many as 200 people have
gotten sick in a norovirus outbreak at a
downtown Seattle office building, health
officials reported Monday.
Illness at the Russell Investments Center
grew exponentially after a catered event in
the building, but several cases were reported
before the event last Tuesday, according to
Public Health-Seattle & King County,
which is still investigating the outbreak
that began last week.

be able to influence things that make San
Mateo a better place to live.
Matthews volunteered much of his time
affecting the future of San Mateo with some
of his most memorable and impactful experiences revolving around the citys Rail
Corridor Plan, the reinvention of Bay
Meadows and other transit-oriented housing
and office development projects. A current
board member of the Housing Endowment
And Regional Trust, or HEART, Matthews
said he plans to continue his work addressing the regions affordability crisis.
Matthews, 69, moved from San Francisco
to San Mateo in 1973 with his wife Patricia
in search of a home to raise a family. More
than 40 years and four kids later, Matthews
said hes pleased to call San Mateo home.
Weve been very happy living here,
Matthews said. I liked the sense of history here and the economic and ethnic
diversity, which is not typical, is really
amazing here. It was a great choice for
us and were just grateful weve been able

Health briefs
Between 175 and 200 cases have been
reported to the health department either
independently or through a survey of people who went to the catered event in the
building.
We anticipate that number is probably
low, said Dr. Meagan Kay, medical epidemiologist for communicable diseases
with the Seattle and King County Public
Health Department.
Two people spent one night in a hospital
because of norovirus, and another eight
to live here now 42 years.
Matthews was commended by both former
and current councilmembers with whom he
served.
Supervisor Carole Groom said she sat
with Matthews on both the Planning
Commission and City Council before she
went on to work for the county.
Hes been a great asset for the city. Very
thoughtful, very committed, very smart,
Groom wrote in an email. Hes given 20
years to San Mateo and its a better place for
that.
Councilman David Lim, who served with
Matthews the longest of any current member, recalled one of their first encounters as
colleagues.
He was one of the first councilmembers
to take me aside and mentor me, Lim said.
One thing I learned from him was you can
disagree on an issue and still remain cordial.
You vigorously debate an issue, but at the
end of the day, you respect an individual person and their beliefs and once a vote is
done, you all get behind that vote and move
toward the common good of the city
thats what he left as a legacy.
In referencing Matthews, Lim and
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet, who

people were treated in emergency rooms

during the past week.
Norovirus is very common, and more
than a dozen outbreaks are confirmed or
probable in the county each year, Kay said.
This time of year, norovirus can spread
person-to-person very quickly, she said.

HONOLULU The dengue fever outbreak

on Hawaiis Big Island continues to grow.
The state Department of Health said

Monday that the number of confirmed cases

reached 139 people. That includes 122
Hawaii Island residents and 17 visitors.
A Department of Health map shows the
area with the highest risk of potential infection is Captain Cook, just south of KailuaKona on the Big Island.
Theres a moderate risk of infection in
Kailua-Kona and on the islands windward

Theres also moderate risk in Naalehu near
the southern tip of the Big Island.
Officials say its safe to travel to Hawaii

last night, used a common descriptor.
Jack embodies the word gentleman and
is a true statesman. He is passionate about
the issues he champions, but always openminded and willing to entertain divergent
points of view, Freschet wrote in an email.
Few leaders have had the opportunity to
leave such a lasting mark on their communities, but Jack has been the architect of much
of the policy and progress created in San
Mateo over the past decade. His impact will
continue to be realized long after his term
ends.
Lim and Freschet said Matthews historical knowledge and perspective will be
missed.
Proud to have made a difference in the
future of San Mateo, particularly in regards
to construction along the Caltrain corridor,
Matthews said, I think we are really setting
the standard for how to do transit-oriented
developments and how to manage the pressures of accommodating growth.
Well-versed in city planning, Matthews
noted there was a steeper learning curve in
regards to budgets and labor negotiations
two challenging issues for the council during the recession. While disappointed he

wont be around to make decisions with

greater financial flexibility as the economy
improves, Matthews said he plans to continue with HEART and previously served on
the HIP Housing board.
Ive been involved in that advocacy
work for probably more than 25 years and
we really havent made a lot of progress.
Were not even really keeping up with the
need; even as we continue to create more
housing, were falling behind. I think we
need a more regional approach and I think
its at a critical status now, Matthews said.
And it is a problem that touches pretty
much every segment of our community.
Matthews said he will also continue his
architecture practice which has been
located downtown for nearly 30 years. Just
before attending his last meeting as a councilman Monday night, Matthews related
some advice from his experiences as a
Peninsula policy maker.
For me, its always been whats in the
best interest of our city and voting the way
I believe preserves the quality of life here.
And it isnt always whos the loudest, its
what do I think is right, Matthews said.
You need the courage of your convictions
to do what you think is right.

Carlmont High School is the 23rd best
in the Bay Area, and the rest of the districts comprehensive schools are
among the top 40, according to the
rankings.
Palo Altos Gunn High School was
recognized as the second best in the
state, according to the report, and 27th
best in the nation. Palo Alto High
School was ranked as the 15th best in
the state.
Campolindo High School in Moraga
received top honors as the best public
high school in the Bay Area, and was
the sixth best in the state. Granada
Hills Charter High School in Los
Angeles was named the best high
school in California. Stuyvesant High
School in New York was named the
best high school in the nation.

Illinois was the state most frequently

represented in the national top 10, as
three public high schools were identified among top echelon of public
institutions.
Hillsdale High School Principal Jeff
Gilbert said, in an email, the success of
his schools is a testament to the hard
work of local students, families and
educators.
The results validate Hillsdales
ability to create strong relationships
between teachers and students, which
have resulted in a powerful learning
environment for all types of students,
he said. The school is fortunate to
have incredible community and parent
support of our work.
Mills High School Principal Paul
Belzer shared a similar perspective via
email.
The Mills faculty and staff are
pleased to see the many positive comments from our students and parents in
the 2016 Niche report, he said. Our
students experience and growth is at
the core of our schools efforts and it
rewarding to see these reflected in the
Niche rankings.
This is the second time in recent
months the local high school district
has been recognized by a national publication, as Newsweek announced in
August three district schools San
Mateo, Mills and Aragon high schools
were among the 250 best in the
country.

Weights and Measures have taken

actions to prepare for winter storm
emergency response and recovery,
according to Porters report.
The departments will be prepared to
operate around the clock during
storms. The Red Cross is also working
with the Human Services Agency to
prepare for the need of providing emergency shelter, if necessary.
We hope that this years rainy season passes without the need to respond
to flooding or mudslide events.
However, if the need arises, the county
and our partners are ready to respond to
protect the health and safety of our
constituents, Porter wrote in the
report.
Redwood Citys storm preparations
are underway and include removing
vegetation and sediment from its five
creeks and canals.
Other work includes: constructing a
Bayfront Canal cement bag temporary
wall; maintaining and refurbishing
storm water pumps, motors and drain
pipes; cleaning 2,500 catch basins
and 6.5 miles of lined channels; and

making over 10,000 sand bags available to the public.

City residents are being urged to
clear gutters and catch basins of debris
and leaves.
Residents are also encouraged to buy
rain barrels to catch rainwater for residential gardening and other uses.
In San Carlos, maintenance crews
have cleaned ditches, inlets and pipes
known as hot spots, Public Works
Director Jay Walter said.
We have also recently completed a
storm drain improvement project,
where 25 locations that experienced
minor flooding last year have been
retrofitted with new inlets, grates or
pipes to help minimize flooding
potential, Walter wrote in an email.
Crews also completed a sediment
removal project for the ditches that
drain to the east, which are located
along the Holly Street freeway interchange.
The channels were clogged with silt
and vegetation and did not allow storm
runoff to flow through after periods of
heavy rain, Walter wrote.

Burlingame High School is the
highest ranked public high school in
San Mateo County, according to the
rankings, and is identified as the 10thbest high school in the Bay Area.
Burlingame High School Principal
Di Yim celebrated her schools success, in an email.
The BHS high ranking has been
made possible by our committed students with a strong work ethic, dedicated teachers, supportive staff and
engaged parents all invested in the
learning process and continuous
improvement of our students, said
Yim.
Yvonne Shiu, principal at San Mateo
High School, expressed a similar sentiment in an email.
I am so proud to be principal of San
Mateo High School a special place,
where our diverse student population
thrives in an environment where they
are provided with a variety of opportunities to grow and learn, she said.
We have an extremely dedicated faculty and staff, as well as a group of

to be untangling as the European
Union softened its insistence that
countries targets to limit carbon
pollution need to be legally binding, something U.S. negotiators
reject because of opposition in the
Republican-controlled Congress.
We need the United States on
board and we have to find a solution, EU Climate Commissioner
Miguel Arias Canete told reporters
on the sidelines of the conference.
We understand the concerns they
have because of the political situation they have in the Congress.
Many Republicans question
whether climate change is happening and oppose emissions limits

out of concern that it would hurt

U.S. industry and jobs.
Upon arrival in France, U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry said
that even without binding targets
the deal could change the way world
business thinks about energy.
I have absolute confidence in
the ability of capital to move
where the signal of the marketplace
says go after Paris, he said.
Foreign and environment ministers joined the talks after lowerlevel negotiators who met last
week delivered a draft agreement
with multiple options left open.
Warning that the clock is ticking toward climate catastrophe,
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon told ministers the world
expects more from them than halfmeasures.
Your work here this week can
help eradicate poverty, spark a
clean energy revolution and provide jobs, opportunities and hope
for tomorrow, he said.

The talks are focused on reducing
emissions of carbon dioxide and

and wind power is growing, particularly in electricity generation.
India and other major developing
countries insist on their right to
use some fossil fuels to advance
their economies just like
Western nations have done since
the Industrial Revolution. They
argue the West therefore is historically responsible for raising levels
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

India is here to ensure that rich

countries pay back their debt for
overdraft that they have drawn on
the carbon space, Indian
Environment Minister Prakash
Javadekar said.
The Paris agreement would be the
first to ask all countries to rein in
their emissions; earlier pacts only
required wealthy nations to do so.
How to define countries evolving
responsibilities
as
their
economies grow is the biggest
challenge in the Paris talks.
