We feel confident about the petition,
and are gladly working with the Redwood
City [Elementary] School District through
a standard process to plan for next year,
he said.
The district uses enrollment projections
to decide how many classrooms to allocate
to the charter schools.
Rocketship Education is expected to
move from the district campuses to its own
facility on 860 Charter St. in Redwood
City by the 2016-17 school year, but that
relocation may be delayed by concerns of
dangerous contaminants found in the soil
at the new school site.
KIPP
Excelencia
Community
Preparatory, which opened on the campus
of John F. Kennedy Middle School, also
claims it expects to grow to 582 district
students, which is significantly more than
was initially expected by the district,
according to the report.
District officials questioned these projections as well, again based on previous
miscalculations, and said it is more reasonable to expect the school will serve 384
students, as 175 enrolled in KIPP
Excelencia Community Preparatory this
year.
The charter claimed nearly 310 district
students would join KIPP Excelencia
Community Preparatory in the current
year, but only 56 percent of that projection
came to fruition, according to the report.
Maria Krauter, a spokeswoman for KIPP
Excelencia Community Preparatory, said
in an email it is against the schools policy to comment publicly on enrollment and
classroom allocation negotiations.
However, she said the charter school is
committed to working with district officials to come to a resolution.

Residents briefly asked to stay
inside during burglary investigation
Redwood City police have detained three suspects in a burglary Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Police first reported the burglary in a statement at about
3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
The burglary happened in an unoccupied home on the 1200
block of Foothill Street, police said. A neighbor reported suspicious activity there and police found one suspect still outside when they arrived.
Officers then searched the surrounding neighborhood and
asked residents to stay inside for their safety. They eventually found two other suspects in nearby yards, police said.
One of the suspects was found with a firearm, police said.
Some streets in the area were closed as police searched the
area. As of about 4 p.m., the search had concluded, police said.

OPINION
bakeries all of
which are just a
pleasant memory
now.
But, they all had
one thing in common, they were
mom-and-pop
stores that worked
hard to earn my
business. They knew me and vice
versa. They had my best interests at
heart.
My family had a lumberyard on El
Camino Real for many years where I
started working at a young age. Later
in life, I joined a downtown business
merchants association. We talked
about what kind of business San
Carlos wanted. We agreed that San
Carlos needed more restaurants and a
specialty market like Draegers.
Eventually the restaurants became a
reality. Trader Joes came to be and is
a constant beehive of activity (and
again parking is a problem). The
Walgreens next to Trader Joes is a
nice complement and I nd myself
there constantly.
Although the last two stores are
part of a chain, I believe they t the
San Carlos mold.
The lumberyard my family had in
San Carlos still exists in Mountain
View (Bruce Bauer Lumber & Supply).
I am the third generation owner of
this 77-year-old business. There is a
Guest
perspective
fourth generation in place now.
I have written a few newspaper letters over the years about the demise of
mom-and-pop lumberyards and business in general. I can tell you 100
mom-and-pop lumberyards that have
gone away on the Peninsula in my
lifetime. This is not healthy. People
need a lumberyard to go to, to buy
lumber, etc. As big as chain stores
like Home Depot and Lowes are,
there are a lot of items they lack,
especially in the lumber department
as any good contractor will tell you.
My message in all of this is to
patronize your local mom-and-pop
business in San Carlos. They will do
things for you that many chain stores
cannot and will not. They bring a special recipe to shopping and make you
want to come back for more. Be it a
bookstore or a bakery, buy local.
Dav id Thom is a lifelong resident of
San Carlos. His only job has been at
Bruce Bauer Lumber & Supply (formerly in San Carlos, currently located in
Mountain View).

Development
versus preservation
Editor,
Maybe the no vote on Measure V
in San Carlos is a blessing in disguise. Palo Alto prevented Arastra
from developing the foothills by
downzoning to 10 acres per lot, but
the court said they had to buy it.
However, the effect of lessening the
supply of houses, relative to all the
extra industry they had put in was to
raise the price of homes so ordinary
people could not buy them. Working
class people cannot live in Palo Alto,
nor can our children. Teachers cannot
live in Palo Alto what kind of
town is that?
I think you should get together
investors from around the Peninsula

Correction Policy
A justified
indignation
T
here are many, many cases when business interests conict with public health. People deserve
to know how and when this occurs and the
impact this has on them. Kelly D. Brownell, Food
Fight.
If you are familiar with my rants about the soda industry,
you can understand why I cheered when I read about those
students at San Francisco State University who protested a
contract for pouring rights for sodas which would have
allowed the chosen company (Coca-Cola) to sell all the
fountain drinks at SFSU residence halls and sporting events
as well as stock vending machines and campus stores.
In the October/November
issue of AARP magazine in a
feature article about health
and how to cut our cancer
risk, number one on the list
was Cut the Cola.
According to a study published in the journal Cancer
Epidemiology, Biomarkers
and Prevention, people
who drank two or more
sugar-sweetened soft drinks
a week are 87 percent more
likely to get pancreatic cancer.
The soda industry is a bit
nervous these days since
sales have declined a bit lately so, in desperation, CocaCola is trying to connect happiness to its product despite
the fact, according to the November Nutrition Action
Health Letter, it also raises the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. In the same
issue, Marian Nestle, my favorite nutrition expert, writes,
The evidence is overwhelming study after study after
study, meta analysis after meta analysis except for ones
that are funded by Coca-Cola and the American Beverage
Association. What a coincidence!
Nutrition scientists like Ms. Nestle and Michael Pollan
have, for years, been trying to educate consumers about the
importance of good nutrition and the way corporate interests manipulate government agencies. As more consumers
become aware of the power of big food corporations to have
their way with us, some such food manufacturers are making
a few changes in their products. For instance, in January, the
pasta in Kraft macaroni and cheese will not contain synthetic dyes as it does now, but will derive its color from naturally colorful spices like paprika and turmeric. It has also been
reported that General Mills is removing colors from its
chocolate candy and articial colors from its frozen dinners
and Campbell will remove fake colors and avors from its
soups. (Would you believe?)
But dont get your hopes up. While those students were
protesting the inuence of one of our food processing
giants and a few corporations are making some of their
products a bit less toxic, Monsanto has been busy transforming much of our food into products never before experienced. It has gotten to the point that 40 percent of U.S. produce comes from GM seeds and nearly 90 percent of corn
grown in the United States is genetically engineered. So, if
we like it or not, we are being had by Monsanto and the
FDA.
At least food manufacturers are required to list on labels
the ingredients that their products contain, but we have no
way to know if what we are eating has been genetically
modied. They claim it is safe, but there is no way to know
for sure especially how GMO foods might affect us in the
long run. Another concern is the pesticides and weed-killers
that Monsanto has developed and used prolically around
the crops that have been genetically modied and that drift
into the environment. Add the latest genetically modied
salmon that seriously concerns many food scientists. It is
reported that Safeway and others have pledged not to sell
engineered sh. These are a few of the blatant signs that
Monsanto has our FDA securely under its thumb as it modies the essence of human existence.
A Nov. 24 San Jose Mercury News editorial emphasized
that the FDA should require any food that contains GMOs to
be labeled when it is sold in stores and supermarkets. Makes
you wonder why Monsanto has had its way for so long.
Could they be afraid that since a great many products would
display the label that more and more consumers will avoid
them and go organic and throw a monkey wrench in the
works. But, after all, almost all European nations plus
Australia, China and Japan require such labeling. Do we not
deserve the same?
Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at UCSF and
author of Fat Chance bluntly stated: The only method for
dealing with this is a public intervention. Everyone talks
about personal responsibility, but that wont work here
There are things that have to be done at a government level,
and government has to get off its ass. Right on!

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders surprising secondhalf comeback against the Denver Broncos last week was due
in large part to their ability to control field position.
Veteran punter Marquette King was at the center of it all.
On his busiest day of the season, when he was forced to
punt 10 times, King helped tilt the game in the Raiders favor
by landing five inside the Broncos 20-yard line. In doing so,
the 27-year-old tied a franchise record shared by two others
and put Oakland in prime position to pull off the upset.
For a guy known strictly for his power when he entered the
NFL as an undrafted free agent four years ago, it also represented a monumental step in Kings development.

athletes do feel the ISAF (World Sailing) and
the IOC are doing everything they can within
the constraints of it being in Brazil, Gosling
said. For sailing to be in the center of the
Olympics right there, for athletes to be able to
stay in the village, to be able to go to the opening and closing ceremony, its a massive deal.
And the pictures and the films will be incredible. So, while athletes obviously want it to be
fair, safe, and clean, just to be there and be part
of the actual Rio Olympics is awesome.
Rios waterways, like those of many developing nations, are extremely contaminated. By
the citys own estimate, only half of the waste
water following into the bay is treated.
I dont think anyone is naive enough to suggest the pipe belt miraculously cures all the
problems at Guanabara Bay, said Alastair Fox,
head of events at World Sailing. There are all
sorts of issues with heavy rainfall and bringing
a lot more debris and whatever bacteria into the
bay.

RAIDERS
Continued from page 14
It shows his ability to really put the ball
in areas that are very difficult, Oakland
defensive back TJ Carrie said Tuesday. That
was very beneficial to us because we were
allowed to sit back in coverage and allow our
front four or front five to go and rush the
quarterback.
Kings punting, combined with the
Raiders best game of the season on defense,
helped keep the Broncos offense from getting into the end zone in a game Oakland
won 15-12.
Denver went three-and-out on two series
that began inside its own 20. A third ended in
a safety when quarterback Brock Osweiler
fumbled in the end zone. Emmanuel Sanders
also muffed a punt at the 15-yard line early in
the fourth quarter, and the Raiders converted
it into a go-ahead touchdown.
Field position is so big in a defensive
struggle like that, Oakland coach Jack Del
Rio said. Really good on (Kings) part, and
the protection and the gunners getting down
there and getting those balls covered properly. Whether youre winning the turnover
battle and winning some of that hidden
yardage, those are factors to winning football.
Kings improvement is apparent in the
numbers alone. In 2013, he landed 23 punts
inside the 20 and had 11 touchbacks. In the
29 games since, King has dropped 62 inside
the 20 to go with only seven touchbacks.
Just dont expect him to talk about it
much.
King is the Raiders reluctant star, a player
who feels infinitely more comfortable
decked out in full camouflage than he does
standing in front of a throng of reporters and
television cameras.
He declined to talk about his day after the

If you were to join my family for dinner on a regular weeknight (go for it, but call first!), youd see our typical dessert
routine in action.
It works like this: My husband grabs my favorite tiny
bamboo cutting board and a paring knife while I grab a variety of fruit. Then we sit with our four daughters, chatting
about our days sometimes enjoying an impromptu dance
show from one or more of the girls as we pass wedges of
pears or whatever around the table. Its sacred family time.
But ... Sometimes a girl needs a serious dessert. And by
serious, I mean chocolate.
Yes, Ill sometimes satisfy this need by nibbling on a
square of dark chocolate with my decaf espresso. Thats
fine. But for truly special occasions I whip up little edible
chocolate bowls. They take just minutes to make using
chocolate chips, and you can fill them with berries, your
favorite fruit, or anything else you want. These little bowls
are fun enough to make for kids sleepovers, yet elegant
enough to serve at a dinner party.
I love buying the darkest chocolate chips I can find (usually 60 percent) because I love the almost-bitter flavor of
darker chocolate. Plus, it is healthier.
Once you master the (simple) technique of making these
chocolate baskets, you can easily customize them, adding
cinnamon, cayenne, rosemary, chunky sea salt, flecks of
orange zest, whatever your imagination desires. I usually
fill my bowls with berries or in-season fruit (try lightly
sauteed pears), but feel free to treat them like super tasty tart
crusts and build even more decadent desserts in them.

J.M. HIRSCH
HOUSING
Continued from page 1
president of Republic Urban Properties,
said the escalating cost of living locally
drove the initiative to build affordable housing for veterans.
The times we live in require us to target
this population, he said. Its time this
population is recognized, as these men and
women enter civilian life.
Republic Urbans vision includes constructing a 47, 136-square-foot building
comprised entirely of 55 units of affordable
housing, which Millbrae natives who are
military veterans will be given the highest
priority to occupy.
Spread over the four stories of the proposed project on 1 acre of land owned by the
transit agency, the developer wants to build
25 studios, 29 one-bedroom apartments and
a single two-bedroom apartment for the
building manager.
The developer has also proposed building a separate 321-unit project nearby,
and 10 of those apartments will be avail-
LOCAL
able at an affordable rate.
The price of the rooms will be set between
50 percent and 60 percent of the area median income.
Representatives from Republic Urban
will hold a press conference illustrating
plans for the veterans affordable housing
project at the Millbrae BART station, 200
Rollins Road, 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 16.
Millbrae Mayor Anne Oliva said she
appreciates the willingness of Republic
Urban to tack on an affordable housing
component to its proposal.
But she was reluctant to comment in detail
before the council had an opportunity to
publicly discuss the policy regulations
which will set the development guidelines.
It is kind of putting the cart before the
horse, she said.
She did, however, express support for an
initiative to build housing for those who
have served their country.
I love housing. Im an advocate for housing. And Im an American. So why wouldnt
I like housing for veterans? Im grateful for
veterans, she said.
The Millbrae City Council is set to meet
Tuesday, Dec. 22, to discuss the Millbrae
Station Area Specific Plan and environmen-
tal impact report which will lay the groundwork for development in the 116-acre site
near the citys train station.
Republic Urban has proposed building
164,000 square feet of office space, nearly
47,000 square feet for retail, more than 300
residential units and a hotel on a plot of land
owned by BART east of the transit station.
The company has not submitted a formal
application for the project, and must first
wait for the council to approve the policy
regulations for development in the area.
Developer Vincent Muzzi has also
expressed interest in redeveloping his 150
Serra Ave. property into a mixed-use residential project which will contain 267,000
square feet of office space, 32,000 feet of
retail space and 500 high- to medium-density residential units.
The two projects are the initial steps
toward a vision of city officials to rejuvenate the gateway to the city, by building a
mix of new homes, businesses and amenities near the thoroughfare connecting
Millbrae to Highway 101.
The Millbrae Planning Commission

vote on Thursday lacks transparency
and should be delayed, Pine said
Tuesday.
Even if the CPUC approves the
increase, it will not delay the start of
San Mateo Countys Peninsula Clean
Energy, which is scheduled to launch
late next year.
Its not going to derail our launch
in any way or derail our fundamental
offering in any way, Pine said.
County consultants warned the
Board of Supervisors of the unknowns
related to PG&Es exit fees as the joint
powers agreement with local cities
moved forward.
The current formula PG&E uses to
calculate the fee was approved by the
CPUC in 2012, said utility spokeswoman Nicole Liebelt.
Rules adopted by the state
Legislature protect customers who do
not opt to go into clean energy programs, she said.
The fee is designed to ensure costs
are shared by customers who depart and
those who remain, Liebelt said
Tuesday.
About 297,000 PG&E customers in
San Mateo County could get their energy from renewable sources in less than
a year but will have to opt out of
receiving power from the utility.
The opt-out fee PG&E currently
charges is $6.70 a month but it is
requesting the CPUC to let it set the
rate at $13 a month.
San Francisco is also developing a
Community Choice Aggregation program called CleanPowerSF.
State Sen. Mark Leno, D-San
Francisco, sent a letter to the CPUC
speaking out against the exit fee,
called the Power Charge Indifference
Adjustment.
Leno said Tuesday that its another
attempt by PG&E to derail local
efforts and to protect their monopoly.
If the CPUC must take action
Thursday, Leno has requested the board
approve only a 15 percent increase to

board in December and the newlyformed Office of Sustainability, directed by Jim Eggemeyer, has been working on the first and second phases of
the proposal since.
The second phase includes forming
the JPA, which would be a nonprofit
with a board made up of either elected
city officials or appointees. The goal
is to have it formed by March or April.
One of the touted benefits of the JPA is
that it will local control over energy
purchases. The renewable energy will
be delivered over Pacific Gas and
Electric lines.
PG&E is requesting the increase
because it entered into energy contracts with its current customers in
mind. With fewer customers, it needs
to offset the cost of the contracts for
its existing customers.
PG&E officials have also said low
market prices for energy are also driving the fee hike request.
The low market prices for energy are
a bonus for San Mateo County, Pine
said.
Even if PG&E gets its fee hike
approved, San Mateo County will be
able to shop in a market with clean
energy with the prices being low.
Pine said a possible exit fee increase
was calculated into Peninsula Clean
Energys formation.
We are aware of the fact they can
charge exit fees, we assumed a substantial increase of 70 percent. Our calculation didnt assume a 95 percent
increase, Pine said.
Pine wants the CPUC to bring transparency to how the fee is calculated and
whether PG&E is really trying to mitigate losses.
Pine said, too, that the exit fees
should disappear in time but that
CPUC provides no guidance on how
the rate will change over time.
PG&E is considered to be a provider
of last resort by the CPUC, Liebelt
said. It means that it has an obligation
to serve no matter where the customer
was receiving service from previously,
she said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Maria Dos Anjos Placido
Case Number: 126354
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Maria Dos Anjos Placido.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Maria DeGrassa Costa, aka Maria Degraca Costa in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Maria
DeGrassa Costa, aka Maria Degraca
Costa be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 11, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
