Real-life grinch steals Christmas presents

Donations for children taken from Half Moon Bays Our Lady of the Pillar church
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A criminally-minded Grinch
stole some holiday cheer from
dozens of coastside families after
nearly $2,000 worth of wrapped
Christmas presents were snatched
from a church donation bin.
Our Lady of the Pillar serves
nearly 115 families with approximately 250 children struggling to
make ends meet through its annual

giving tree, which is decorated
with tags listing presents wanted
by a specific child or individual.
Yet sometime between last
Thursday evening and Saturday
morning, a thief broke into a storage facility by hopping over a
fence at the Catholic church located near downtown Half Moon Bay
at 400 Church St., according to
the Sheriffs Office.
Its unfortunate because yes,

the church has been working hard
to collect these toys, but the real
victims are going to be the dozens
of children those toys were going
to be for, said San Mateo County
Sheriffs Deputy Sal Zuno.
Volunteers with the church had
collected hundreds of gifts
throughout the year and the ones
in the locked storage facility had
already been wrapped and ready

to go. Whoever broke in may

have been looking for specific
items as many presents were
unwrapped and although its
nearly impossible to determine
exactly what was stolen, an estimated 40 presents that would
have been given to wanting children were taken, said Nancy
Clarkin, organizer of the giving
tree donation and secretary of

Conference.
Ive been doing this for 13
years and its never happened
before, Clarkin said. It was

disheveled and all the wrapping
torn off the gifts and several of
them missing. Weve been working on this since September, so a

Accidental fur: Company
turns roadkill into fashion
BOSTON Pamela Paquins source
for fashion is either tres chic or will
make you shriek.
She creates neck muffs, leg warmers,
hats, purses and more from roadkill, or
accidental fur, as she prefers to call
it.
As owner of Petite Mort Furs, a 2year-old Boston-area company, she
said shes offering the fur industry an
alternative to wild fur trapping and
large-scale fur farms.
All this fur is being thrown away,
Paquin said. If we can pick that up, we
never have to kill another fur-bearing
animal again.
Keith Kaplan, head of the Fur
Information Council of America, said
his trade group considers all North
American furs to already be ethically
and environmentally responsible.
Production of fur in North America
is highly regulated with guidelines set
through years and years (and millions
of dollars) of scientific study, he said
via email, declining to comment on
Paquins company or the general idea
of using roadkill for fur. In fact, the
populations of every species used by
the industry today are as abundant, or
more abundant, than they were a century ago.
Animal rights groups also have
mixed feelings about roadkill fur.

authorities said Tuesday.
The 3-year-old girl and 6-year-old
boy were found dead Friday at a storage
facility in Redding, a city of 91,000
about 300 miles north of San
Francisco.
Homicide detectives were investigating, and autopsies were planned for
Wednesday. The childrens names were
not released.
The investigation began with a call
about a possible child abuse case in
the small Northern California town of
Quincy.
On Friday, authorities found the
starving 9-year-old at a Quincy home,
according to a news release from the
Plumas County Sheriffs Office. The
unidentified girl was taken to a hospital. No details on her condition were
available Tuesday.
Sheriffs officials later arrested a 17year-old boy and 39-year-old woman
on abuse allegations related to the 9year-old. Each remained jailed Tuesday
on $1 million bail.
The two were being held on suspicion of felony child abuse, torture and
mayhem.
Attorneys Douglas Prouty, who represents the 39-year-old, and Robert
Zernich, who represents the teen, both
declined to comment. The Associated
Press typically does not identify abuse
victims; it is not naming the teen or
the woman because their relationship
to the children is unclear.

Others worry her products could only

A business that promotes wearing
real fur as fashionable and acceptable
may well create more demand for fur

District refutes charter enrollment growth

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Redwood City Elementary School

District officials questioned enrollment
projections from two local charter
schools, according to reports suggesting
the schools are less popular than they
claim.
Representatives of KIPP Excelencia
Community Preparatory and Rocketship
Education, two charters which recently
opened on district campuses, and district
administrators disagreed over expected
enrollment reports which dictate how
many classrooms must be provided to the
charters.
The district school board will receive a
presentation Wednesday, Dec. 16, from
Superintendent John Baker making a case
the enrollment projections of both charters are inflated and unreasonable.
The district is refuting the reasonableness of the projections of each school,
based primarily on the fact that last year
both schools also projected significantly
greater enrollment than actually occurred,
said Baker, in an email.
Rocketship Education, which is occupying classrooms on the campuses of Taft and
Hoover elementary schools, claims it
needs space for 317 district students next
year, according to a district report.
But officials take issue with those
expected enrollment figures, according to a
district report, and claim 264 district students is a more reasonable projection, due
in part to previous miscalculations of the
charters popularity.
Rocketship Education claimed it would
serve 473 district students this year, but
only 202 actually enrolled. Assuming
these trends continue, it is reasonable to
expect the charter is about half as popular
as it claims, according to the report.
David Kuizenga, vice president of
Rocketship Bay Area, said in an email the
projection is based on current enrollment.
Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
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.
We will continue to work collaboratively with district officials to secure a facility

that is easily accessible to our families and
will allow us to grow the school to serve
TK-eighth-grade as granted in our charter,
she said.
Baker said he is unsure whether the district has sufficient classrooms to accommodate the request for space from the charters, because students from all grade levels
at each school may elect to enroll at the
alternative schools, which makes movement difficult to track and predict.
District officials have until Feb. 1 to
make a preliminary classroom offer to the
charters, and will continue to negotiate
until reaching a resolution in April.
As the district and its charters haggle
over classroom allocation, Baker said the
negotiation process is not out of the ordinary.
In terms of resolution, it is not clear we
are at odds. We had similar discussions
before we offered space to all of our charters last year, and we were able to develop
workable arrangements for all three
schools that took compromise on all
sides, he said. We expect similar cooperation this year.
Baker said he expects this process to
continue until both schools grow to full
size.
Until KIPP and Rocketship have rolled
out all grade levels planned and reached
their desired sizes, we will have to evaluate
their annual growth on a year by year basis
and make adjustments over time, he said.
Connect Charter School, the districts
first charter, is on the campus of Fair Oaks
Elementary School and officials agreed
with its enrollment projection.
In other news at the meeting, the school
board will discuss hiring a polling firm to
gauge community support for extending
the districts parcel tax. Measure W, the
$67 parcel tax which was approved by
voters in 2012, is set to expire in June
2017.

Ryan: Theres agreement

on tax and spending bill
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Congressional leaders

and the White House have reached agreement on a massive year-end tax and spending package, House Speaker Paul Ryan told
GOP lawmakers late Tuesday, urging support for the legislation that delivers GOP
wins but also includes many Democratic
priorities.
The package would fund the government
through the 2016 budget year, raise domestic and defense spending, and increase the
deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars by
extending numerous popular tax credits
without paying for them. It lifts the 40year-old ban on exporting U.S. crude, a
long-sought GOP goal, and delays two taxes
meant to pay for President Barack Obamas
health care law, one on high-value health
plans and the other on medical devices.
Democrats won five-year extensions of
wind and solar credits and a permanent
extension of the child care tax credit, and
beat back many GOP attempts to add favored
policy provisions to the bill, including
several aimed at rolling back Obama environmental regulations.
This is divided government, Rep. John
Kline, R-Minn., said coming out of the
meeting. If youre going to move forward
and follow Speaker Ryans notion that we
move onto offense next year ... Lets put
2015 behind us and move onto 2016.

Ryan said that in a divided government
youre going to have some concessions,
thats what compromise is about, added
Rep. Reid Ribble of Wisconsin. And to get
the good things that we felt we needed that
meant the Democrats were going to get
some of the things they wanted.
Democratic aides cautioned final language
was still being worked out.
Republican leaders predicted the package
would come to a vote in the House and
Senate on Thursday, allowing lawmakers to
head home for the holidays having completed their needed tasks. First they will have to
pass yet another short-term government
funding extension, since the current one
runs out Wednesday at midnight.
In negotiations like this you win some,
you lose some, Ryan, R-Wis., said earlier
in the day at an event hosted by Politico.
Democrats won some, they lost some. We
won some, we lost some.
Eleventh-hour negotiations twisted and
turned on the mammoth deal pairing the
$1.1 trillion spending legislation with a
giant tax bill catering to any number of special interests. The deal, Congress last
major piece of unfinished business for the
year, became the vehicle for countless longsought priorities and odds and ends, including reform of visa-free travel to the U.S.,
renewable energy tax credits and health benefits for 9/11 first responders.
BALTIMORE Jurors said they were

deadlocked Tuesday as they weighed
manslaughter and other charges against a
police officer in the death of Freddie Gray.
The judge told them to keep deliberating and
they went home for the night without reaching a verdict.
The jury reported its difficulty in a note to
Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams
after about nine hours of discussions over
two days. It wasnt clear if they were stuck
on one or more of the four charges Officer
William Porter faces. He is the first of six
officers to stand trial.
Armored vehicles and police were stationed around the city, and officials promised they were prepared for any unrest. Parts
of the city burned last spring after Grays
death triggered frustration over the departments alleged mistreatment of black people, and authorities were determined to prevent a repeat.

Residents briefly asked to stay

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.
Police arrest two after stolen vehicle pursuit

Pacifica police say they arrested two people Monday in the

The pursuit began around 8:30 p.m. when the vehicle failed

instead exited state Highway 1 in the Sharp Park area, police
said. It ended in the Pacific Manor area after the driver struck a
curb and stopped the car.

resident Jocelyn Burnett, was taken into custody without incident, police said.
The passenger, 20-year-old Tevaris Sweat, of Fremont,
allegedly fled on foot and was captured after a pursuit with the
help of a police dog.
Sweat was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, possession of a stolen vehicle and a felony no-bail arrest warrant on
a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Burnett was arrested on suspicion of felony evading police
and possession of a stolen vehicle.
More shipping containers

spotted near Golden Gate, Pacifica
More shipping containers that washed off a ship in stormy
weather on Friday have been spotted floating off the coast,
U.S. Coast Guard officials said Tuesday morning.
A Coast Guard plane early Tuesday morning spotted two
additional containers from the container ship Manoa, which
lost a dozen of the 40-foot steel containers Friday night just
outside the Golden Gate on its way to Seattle.
One container from the ship already washed ashore at Baker
Beach in San Francisco this weekend, along with a large number of plastic crates and Styrofoam packing material.
Lt. Jake Urrutia said Tuesday mornings flight spotted what
appeared to be a partially submerged container just south of
the Golden Gate Bridge and a second container around 1 mile
south of the Pacifica Pier, close to shore. The containers have
been reported to Matson Navigation Co., the company
responsible for the Manoa and its stray containers.
Urrutia said it was unclear whether the container spotted
Tuesday morning near Pacifica was the same as one that was
reported near or to the south of Mori Point on Monday.
While the Coast Guard on Monday confirmed that a container had been sighted in that area, Matson spokesman
Keoni Wagner said the companys spotters had not been able
to locate it. He suggested it could have since submerged or
drifted away.

Cruz and Rubio clash in

fifth Republican debate
By Julie Pace and Julie Bykowicz
LAS VEGAS In a presidential race

reshaped by national security fears,
Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio clashed
over U.S. military intervention, government spying on Americans communications and immigration Tuesday
night, as front-runner Donald Trump
defended his provocative call for banning Muslims from the United States.
Struggling former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush found his footing in trying to discredit Trumps qualifications for the
White House, chiding the brash billionaire for trying to insult your way
to the presidency.
Tuesday nights debate was the first
for Republicans since the attacks in
Paris and San Bernardino which
heightened fears of terrorism in the
United States. The attacks have ignited a political debate about President
Barack Obamas campaign to defeat
the Islamic State in the Middle East
and the nations security posture in
preventing attacks in the U.S.

Trumps call for temporarily banning
Muslims from the U.S. a proposal
roundly criticized by his rivals dominated much of the discussion heading
into the debate. He said he wasnt seeking to discriminate against Muslims.
We are not talking about isolation;
were talking about security, he said.
We are not talking about religion, we
are talking about security.
Bush dismissed the proposal as unserious, saying Donald is great at the
one-liners, but hes a chaos candidate
and hed be a chaos president.
In a moment that might help ease
anxiety among Republican leaders,
Trump pledged he would not seek to run
as an independent. If he should lose the
nomination, some fear he would make
such a move, possibly preventing the
nominee
from
defeating
the
Democratic challenger. I am totally
committed to the Republican Party,
Trump said.
He was largely spared from criticism
by Cruz and Rubio, who said they
understood why Trump had raised the

idea of banning Muslims. Instead, they
focused on each other, engaging in
lengthy debates over their differences
on national security and immigration,
one of the most contentious issues in
the Republican primary.
Rubio, of Florida, defended his support for eventually providing a pathway to citizenship for some people in
the U.S. illegally, an unpopular position within the Republican Party.
Rubio was a co-author of comprehensive Senate legislation in 2013 that
would have created that pathway, but he
has since said the nations immigration crisis must be addressed in piecemeal fashion, with legalization only
an option after the U.S.-Mexico border
is secured.
Seeking to draw a sharp contrast with
Rubio, Cruz went further than he has
previously in opposing legalization
for people in the U.S. illegally. He
declared: I have never supported legalization and I do not intend to support
legalization.

Shiites in Nigeria said, as activists
accused soldiers of having killed
hundreds of Shiites in a massacre
in a nearby town in recent days.
Spokesman Ibrahim Musa of the
Shiite Islamic Movement in Nigeria
says 10 people were also wounded
when police shot peaceful protesters. They were condemning the
mass killings over the weekend and
early Monday in the ancient Muslim
university town of Zaria, and
demanding the military release their
leader, Ibraheem Zakzaky.
The police spokesman in Kaduna
did not immediately respond to
requests for information from the

Associated Press.
The bloodshed in Zaria was yet
another blow to Africas most populous nation, already beset by a sixyear-old insurgency waged by Boko
Haram, a violent Islamic group
which is at odds with the Shiites and
others who oppose its extremist
views.
Amnesty International said in a
statement late Tuesday that the
shooting of members of the Shiite
group in Zaria must be urgently
investigated . . . and anyone found
responsible for unlawful killings
must be brought to justice.
Pentagon: Violence on rise in Afghanistan

By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON Violence in Afghanistan

is on the rise, according to a new Pentagon
report to Congress that says the Taliban was
emboldened by the reduced U.S. military role
and can be expected to build momentum from
their 2015 attack strategy.
The number of effective insurgent attacks
rose this year, causing increased casualties
among Afghan security forces, the report
said. While Afghan forces have demonstrated a will to fight and to learn from their battlefield mistakes, the report said the
Talibans resilience has made security fragile in key areas and at risk of deteriorating
in others.
Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, told

reporters that it was probably the most
depressing assessment of the direction in
which the country is headed that he has
heard in a long, long time.
Were certainly not in a positive trajectory right now in Afghanistan, Corker
said. In fact, I would say currently, my
assessment would be that its a very negative trajectory.
The Pentagon report, the latest in a regular series of Pentagon war updates required
by Congress, also said the Taliban-led
insurgency has been emboldened by the
U.S. transition from direct combat operations to a train-and-advise role.
As a result, the Taliban will continue to
test the (Afghan forces) aggressively in
2016, it said.

Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman speaks during a news conference.
Burlingame Ave
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia

Projecting its ambition for
regional leadership, Saudi Arabia
said Tuesday it has lined up most
of the Arab world, NATO member
Turkey and several African and
Asian countries behind a vaguely
defined Islamic military alliance
against terrorists.
The move allows the kingdom,
which follows a deeply conservative interpretation of Islam, to
cast itself as a leader in the fight
against extremism.
But absent from the alliance are
the Shiite-led countries of Iran and
Iraq, as well as Syria, whose government is backed by Tehran. And
that omission raises questions
about whether the 34-member
bloc is primarily intended to present a unified front against extremists or to also serve as a Sunni
deterrent to Iran, Saudi Arabias
main regional rival.
Riyadh supports rebels fighting
to overthrow Syrian President
Bashar Assad and has been leading
ism efforts. Their efforts would

not be limited to countering the
Islamic State group, he added.
Currently, every Muslim country is fighting terrorism individually ... so coordinating efforts is
very important, he said.
Though few details were given,
the statement said the alliance
would not just be countering Sunni
extremists but protecting Muslim
nations from all terrorists whatever their doctrine.
When asked if this meant the
alliance would also counter Shiite
militants, the Saudi defense minister replied the coalition would
fight terrorist groups regardless
of their categorization, particularly in Syria and Iraq, where he
said there will be cooperation with
the international community.
The U. S. and its allies have
trained militarily with the Gulf
states and other friendly countries
in the region for years, encouraging them to work more closely
together.
Last year, Saudi Arabia and other
Gulf states joined the U.S. in carrying out airstrikes in Syria
against the Islamic State, also
known as ISIS and ISIL.

The importance of buying local

By David Thom
have lived in San Carlos all my

60 years so I have witnessed
much change in our warm shopping community. The one constant
has always been a lack of parking
spaces.
I still have memories of my shopping experience as a child. There was
a clothing store called Schneiders
(Peets Coffee is there now) where I
was outtted for many a new school
year by Lloyd Trewitt and Ms.
Matthews. This was over 50 years ago
and I can still see their faces and hear
their voice. This was a mom-and-pop
clothing store (two locations?) that
existed long before chain stores like
Mervyns and Kohls.
One day, Mr. Trewitt suggested I set
up a house charge account so I could
establish credit as a young person.
Mr. Trewitt and Ms. Matthews were
like family. As a child, I always felt
like they were looking out for my
best interest.
There was a shoe store called Laurel
Shoes (long gone) where Gus would
measure my foot every time I ventured
into the store. I can still hear his
laugh and see his smile. There was a
bike store called Steves where I
bought more than one Schwinn bicycle and many baseball gloves growing up. There were bookstores and
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).

No change in Redwood City
Editor,
Redwood Citys elected ofcials
have done it to us again. They refuse
to listen to the electorate and change
their habits.
In November 2015, the people of
Redwood City voted for change; they
voted for a change in course; they
voted for a government that would be
more responsive to the needs of the
neighborhoods; they voted for consensus building; they voted for
increase communication; they voted
for people that would not vote or
walk lock-step with developers and
other special interest that have given
us the city we have to live in today;
they voted to slow down big buildings; they voted for community.
Our Redwood City Council and the
Redwood City political machine have
appointed Jeff Seybert to be the
mayor. In doing so, they have
ignored the changes the people of
Redwood City hoped for. Jeff Seybert
fancies himself a point guard, to
ensure the ball gets into the right
hands. If Mr. Seyberts past is any
indication of the future, the neighborhoods of Redwood City will never see
the ball. The powers that be have

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

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!

NEW YORK Stocks posted their

biggest gains in more than a week
Tuesday, led by rising energy companies and banks.
The market was higher all day, building on a late gain the day before. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose for
the second day in a row, something
that hadnt happened since early
November. Energy stocks rose as the
price of crude oil jumped 3 percent, and
banks moved higher a day ahead of an
expected rate increase by the Federal
Reserve.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 156.41 points, or 0.9 percent,
to 17,524.91. The S&P 500 increased
21. 47 points, or 1. 1 percent, to
2, 043. 41. The Nasdaq composite
index gained 43.13 points, or 0.9 percent, to 4,995.36.
Stocks have been on a bumpy ride
ever since a six-week winning streak
ended in early November. They
dropped sharply in mid-November,
then bounced back the following
week, but failed to build consistently
on those gains.
Last week, a plunge in the price of

oil set off a sharp drop in energy
stocks, which dragged the broader market down to its second-worst weekly
performance of 2015. Now with more
encouraging signs on the economy,
many expect the Fed to begin returning borrowing costs back toward normal levels with its first interest rate
increase in nine years.
The government said early Tuesday
that prices for a variety of goods and
services rose last month, including
plane tickets and medical care. Overall
prices were unchanged from last year
because food and energy prices are
weak, but core inflation, which
leaves out energy and food, rose 0.2
percent. Thats the best result in more
than a year.
Michelle Girard, chief U.S. economist for RBS, said the reassuring signal on inflation should remove any
last barriers to the Fed to raise rates.
The inflation report gave the Fed a
green light to take action tomorrow,
Girard said. The Feds key short-term
interest rate has been near zero for
seven years.
Energy stocks were the top-performing sector as U.S. crude rose $1.04, or
2.9 percent, to $37.35 a barrel in New

York. Thats on top of a 2 percent gain
on Monday. Oil is still down 30 percent in 2015 and is at its lowest in
more than six years. Brent crude, a
benchmark for international oils, rose
53 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $38.45 a
barrel in London.
That helped the energy sector, which
has struggled throughout 2015. Exxon
Mobil had its best day since late
August. Its shares jumped $3.40, or
4. 5 percent, to $79. 43. Offshore
drillers Ensco added $1.21, or 8 percent, to $16.40 and Transocean rose
74 cents, or 5.9 percent, to $13.38.
Natural gas continued to tumble. Its
price gas slid 7.2 cents, or 3.8 percent,
to $1.822 per 1,000 cubic feet. Thats
the lowest price since March 1999,
not adjusting for inflation. Industrial
demand for natural gas has been weak,
and the warm weather means most
Americans havent needed as much
heat for their homes as they usually do
this time of year.
In other energy trading, wholesale
gasoline fell 1.1 cents, or 0.9 percent,
to $1.2444 a gallon and heating oil
rose 1.9 cents, or 1.7 percent, to
$1.147 a gallon.
U.S. consumer prices unchanged but core inflation up

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. consumer prices

were unchanged in November as declines in
energy and food held down overall costs.
But core inflation was up 2 percent over the
12 months ending in November. That was

the fastest pace in more than a year and the
kind of increase Fed officials want to see to
justify the start of a round of interest rate
increases.
The flat reading for consumer prices last
month followed a modest 0. 2 percent
increase in October and outright declines in

August and September, the Labor
Department reported Tuesday. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, was
up 0.2 percent in November and has risen 2
percent over the past 12 months, the fastest
gain since a similar 2 percent rise for the 12
months ending in May 2014.
Over the past year, overall inflation has
risen just 0.5 percent. Overall prices are
being held back by a sharp fall in energy
costs and a stronger dollar, which makes
imports cheaper. Fed Chair Janet Yellen has
said she expects both of those impacts will
soon start to fade and because of that she
expects overall inflation will start rising
back to the Feds 2 percent target.
Private economists said Fed officials,

who were holding their final meeting of the
year on Tuesday and Wednesday, are likely
to use the rise in core prices as justification
to support a quarter-point rate hike at this
meeting, the first rate increase in nearly a
decade.
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at
Capital Economics, said he expects rising
inflation will prompt the Fed to raise its
key interest rate to near 2 percent by this
time next year. This rate has been at a record
low near zero for the past seven years. Other
economists are predicting a much more
gradual rise in rates of less than half that
amount to around 1 percent for the Feds
benchmark federal funds rate.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals in new

distribution deal with Walgreens
TRENTON,
N. J.
Valeant
Pharmaceuticals regained some credibility
with upset investors thanks to its
announcement Tuesday of a new distribution
deal with Walgreens and plans to line up
more pharmacies to sell its products after a
scandal forced it to cut ties with a key distributor, Philidor.
The news drove up shares of the beleaguered Canadian drug company, but it still
faces U.S. government scrutiny over big
medicine price hikes and allegations it used
Philidor, a mail-order pharmacy, to steer
payers toward Valeants more expensive
drugs, rather than cheaper alternatives.
Investors will be listening for more details

on the deal with Walgreens, the largest U.S.
drug store chain, and Valeants other plans
on Wednesday, when it hosts an investor
webcast to update its financial forecast and
discuss business operations and research.
Walgreens, the retail pharmacy division
of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., has a lot
of credibility and muscle, said Nomura analyst Shibani Malhotra, making the deal
very important for Valeant.
It really improves their credibility,
because Valeant delivered so quickly on its
pledge to line up a new distributor to replace
Philidor, Malhotra said, adding that
investors had worried no pharmacies would
work with Valeant in the future.

Olympic sailors willing to risk infection for medals

fetid waters. There are plenty and plenty of

reports out there about athletes who their
whole life is about winning medals, and
anything that happens on the way is kind of
irrelevant.
Tests conducted by the Associated Press
this year exposed the pollution levels in
Rios waterways. The most recent results
released this month showed more contamination than previously believed, increasing
the risk to athletes.
In July, the AP reported disease-causing
viruses directly linked to human sewage at
levels up to 1.7 million times what would
be considered highly alarming in the U.S.

or Europe. Experts said athletes were competing in the viral equivalent of raw sewage,
and exposure to dangerous health risks
almost certain.
Recent tests showed the sailing venue of
Guanabara Bay to be as rife with pathogens
far offshore as it was nearer land, where raw
sewage flows from contaminated rivers and
storm drains.

beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Tuesday
night to snap a six-game skid.
Patrick Marleau and Dainius Zubrus also
scored for the Sharks. Martin Jones made 26
saves for his 13th victory of the season.
Dale Weise had the goal for Montreal.
Dustin Tokarski, making his third consecutive start, stopped nine of 12 shots before
being pulled midway through the second
period. Mike Condon stopped all six shots
he faced in relief.
San Jose, which earned its rst victory in
December, is 12-0 when leading after two
periods.
Coming off a convincing win over Ottawa
on Saturday, Montreal came out ring. The
Canadiens were all over Jones and the
Sharks in the rst period but couldnt score.
Despite trailing 10-2 in shots and 20-3 in
shot attempts late in the rst, the Sharks
got on the board rst.
Marleau made it 1-0 on San Joses third
shot on Tokarski, nishing a 2-on-1 rush
with Joel Ward with a shot off the post and
in. The point was Marleaus 14th in his last
14 games (eight goals, six assists).
Pavelski, the Sharks captain, made it 2-0
just 36 seconds into the second period. After
failed clearing attempts by defensemen P.K.
Subban and Andrei Markov, Pavelski tipped
Justin Brauns shot from the point past
Tokarski.
At 9:19 of the second, another giveaway
by Markov in his own zone led to Zubrus
rst goal of the season. The goal sent
Tokarski to the bench and brought Condon

Markov nished minus-3 on the night.

LAS VEGAS Pete Rose believes he still

has a chance to one day get back in baseball.
In the meantime, hes turning his attention to
the Hall of Fame.
Rose said Tuesday he is a changed person
even if he still likes to bet on an occasional
baseball game. And while commissioner
Rob Manfred rejected his
bid to get back in the
game partly because Rose
still bets legally in this
gambling town, he says
he still has a lot to offer
the sport.
All I look forward to
being some day is a friend
of baseball, Rose said.
Pete Rose
I want baseball and Pete
Rose to be friends. I want to say Im not an
outsider looking in. I have grandkids, and
they want their grandpa to be associated
with baseball.
Baseballs career hits leader said he was disappointed at Manfreds decision not to end a
ban that has stretched more than a quarter century. But he held out hope he could still one day be
inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining teammates such as Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan
from the Big Red Machine of the 1970s.
It would be nice to have the opportunity to
go to the Hall of Fame, Rose said. My whole
life has been a Hall of Fame life just by the
association with the teammates I had.
At a news conference fronting his restaurant
on the Las Vegas Strip, Rose said he couldnt
rewrite history but still believes even at age
74 that he can one day be back in baseball. He
said he was sorry for his mistakes of the past,
which included betting on games while with
the Cincinnati Reds at a time he said his gambling habit was out of control.

Slalom champ unsure of recovery time frame

By Pat Graham
Over the next few weeks, Mikaela Shiffrin

will slalom between rest and rehab.
Usually so fast on a race course, the
Olympic and world slalom champion is taking things at a conservative pace as she
recovers from a torn knee ligament and
painful bone bruise. Theres no timetable
for her return to skiing, either.
But there is some promising news: She
wont need surgery. Just rest and rehab. Lots
and lots of it after tearing the medial collateral ligament in her right knee during a
wipeout while preparing for a giant slalom
last Saturday in Are, Sweden.
Its nice for me to know that, as far as
everyones said, Ill be able to ski before
the snow melts, Shiffrin said in a phone
interview with The Associated Press on
Tuesday. Getting back to racing is another
story. Its tough to make any sort of predictions about when Ill be able to race again.
If I dont feel like I can get in the starting
gate of a race and attack the hill, Im not
going to.
Theres a possibility the skier from EagleVail, Colorado, could return to the slopes
for the World Cup Finals

in March. Now that would
be quite a birthday present for Shiffrin, who
turns 21 on March 13.
You can only take it
week by week first, and
then day by day,
Shiffrins
manager,
Kilian
Albrecht,
said.
Mikaela
Obviously, there is
Shiffrin
hope that she can return
as the season is still pretty long. But unfortunately all of the tech races are now, which
is not good as she will for sure miss a lot of
the races.
Shiffrin was hurt when she crashed during
a free skiing session on the competition
hill. She said she was making a right-footed
turn when she hit a patch of icy snow. Her
right ski slipped and then her knee buckled,
before hitting some grippy snow that
caused her to hyperextend her knee and skid
into the protective netting.
As her coaches untangled her, Shiffrin
feared the worst.
I was like, I have to get up, and ski
down, she said. That was my first thought
in the first 10 seconds when I got untan-
High
gled. But I was sitting there on the side of

the hill and there was no way I was even
walking. Something was wrong, but I couldnt tell what.
She flew back to Colorado for more tests
on her knee, which confirmed she had a
bone bruise and MCL tear.
Im lucky that I dont need surgery and
Im lucky that there are no other implications, Shiffrin said. It couldve been really bad. You know Lindsey Vonns knee
injuries and how long it took her to come
back, and countless other athletes. They all
come back, but it takes a solid two years.
Im not looking at a timeline like that at
all.
She was considered the top contender to
Vonn in the World Cup overall race, especially with Tina Maze taking the season off
and defending champ Anna Fenninger sidelined with a knee injury. Vonn currently
leads the overall standings with 400 points,
followed by Swedens Frida Hansdotter with
315. For the moment, Shiffrin is third with
296.
Its pretty heartbreaking because I think
everybody in the back of their minds,
including me, was thinking a 20-year-old
being able to battle it out probably with
Lindsey Vonn for the overall how thats

pretty spectacular, no matter who comes out
on top, said Shiffrin, who won the slalom
at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and at the last
two world championships. Thats how it
was looking until this happened. Its definitely a bummer.
Shiffrin was in the midst of a stellar start,
winning the opening two slaloms this season in Aspen by staggering margins,
including one by 3.07 seconds, the largest
margin of victory for the womens discipline in World Cup history. She also made
her speed debut in Lake Louise, Alberta, this
month and finished a respectable 15th during a super-G race won by Vonn.
While sidelined, Shiffrin said she plans to
take some online classes in personal
finance Id like to know a little more
about investing, she said and improve
her guitar playing. She also will go through
rehab three times a day, even posting a
video on social media Tuesday of her pedaling on a stationary bike while wearing a
brace.
Im pretty positive right now. Im not in
any pain or anything, Shiffrin said. I
dont have a lot of swelling, so thats all a
good sign. That makes me positive.

Heyward wants to make history with Cubs

By Andrew Seligman
CHICAGO Jason Heyward knows Theo

Epstein ended a long championship drought in
Boston and understands how epic it would be to
bring a title to Chicagos North Side.
Itd be a beautiful thing to win a World
Series, Heyward said Tuesday after finalizing a
$184 million, eight-year contract with the
Cubs, the largest deal in team history. To do it
in this city, its a no-brainer that it would be
making history. You see what Theos done with
the Red Sox in 2004 and sort of reverse the
curse, kind of set the country upside down.
After adding pitchers John Lackey and Adam
Warren along with infielder Ben Zobrist, the
Cubs introduced Heyward at Spiaggia
Restaurant, a favorite of President Barack
Obama and the same place where they held a
news conference for Jon Lester exactly one
year earlier after signing the pitcher to a $155
million deal. Chicago still seeks its first
Series title since 1908.

offering his first comments since Manfred on
JEFF CURRY/USA TODAY SPORTS
Jason Heyward jumped ship from St.Louis to the

NL Central Division rival Cubs for an eight-year,
$184-million deal he signed Tuesday.
We saw it as a real unique opportunity, said
Epstein, who left Boston in October 2011 to
become the Cubs president of baseball operations. We feel like Jason is a real impact player because of how talented he is in all the different phases of the game.
Monday rejected his application for reinstatement. But he refused to be drawn into the
debate of whether players linked to steroids
should be allowed in the Hall of Fame when
anyone on the permanently excluded list
Rose is currently the only living person on it
cannot be on a Hall of Fame ballot.
Rose said he believes Manfred will be a
great commissioner, but that Manfred was put
in a tough spot in having to rule on Roses
reinstatement 26 years into a lifetime ban. He
also said his meeting with Manfred earlier this
year where he first denied still betting on
baseball and then admitted he did could
have gone better.
Heyward has the right to opt out of the deal

after three seasons and become a free agent
again at age 29, having earned $78 million
under the deal with the Cubs. He also has a conditional opt out after the 2019 season, if he has
550 plate appearances that year.
He receives a $20 million signing bonus,
payable in four $5 million installments each
April 1 from 2024-27. He gets salaries of $15
million in 2016, $21.5 million in each of the
next two years, $20 million in 2019, $21 million apiece in 2020 and 2021 and $22 million
in each of the final two seasons.
Heyward has a full no-trade provision
through 2018, then during 2019 and 2020 has
12 teams he cannot be dealt to without his consent. If he remains with the Cubs, after the
2020 season he would have the right to block
any trade because of he would be a 10-year veteran who has spent five seasons with his current team.
Because the signing bonus is paid after the
expiration of the contract, Major League
Baseball evaluated the deal as having a present-day value of $177,633,616.

Punting is Professor finds rare audio of

paying off basketball inventor Naismith
for Raiders
By Michael Wagaman
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.
See RAIDERS, Page 16
LAWRENCE, Kan. A University of Kansas researcher

has discovered what is believed to be the only audio recording of basketball inventor James Naismith, during which
he describes the first game he organized 124 years ago this
month as a bit of a disaster.
Michael J. Zogry, an associate professor of religious
studies, obtained the nearly 3-minute audio in November
from the Library of Congress. It was part of a radio show
from New York station WOR-AM called We the People.
During the Jan. 31, 1939, program, Naismith explained
how he set up the game with two peach baskets at the
International YMCA Training School in Springfield,
Massachusetts, in December 1891.
Naismith said he had been given two weeks to devise a
new indoor activity for his gym class. The work was hurried
along by what he described as a real New England blizzard
that had the youngsters climbing the walls with little to do.
We tried everything to keep them quiet, Naismith said
on the recording, but the students were bored with a modified form of football tried in the gym. Naismith figured it
was time to try his new idea using an old soccer ball and
two teams of nine players each.
I told them the idea was to throw the ball into the opposing teams peach basket, he said. I blew a whistle and the
first game of basketball began.
It didnt go smoothly. Naismith said the players almost
immediately started tackling each other and worse. Two
young men suffered black eyes while another was knocked
out, and he had to pull players apart, he said.
I didnt have enough (rules), and thats where I made my
big mistake, Naismith said.
Naismiths description of that first game helps shed light
on the process that led him to draft the 13 original rules of

the game, Zogry told the Associated Press on Tuesday. It

appears that he wrote the new rules shortly after the first
game, although the exact timeline isnt clear, he said.
Zogry intends to research his findings with other research
on that topic.
What we know is there was the first game, then there was
a second game with the full complement of rules, Zogry
said. He said the players were nagging him about (the new
rules) so it sounds like it happened in pretty quick fashion.
Naismiths grandson, Jim Naismith, first heard his grandfathers voice once Zogry obtained the audio. He said the
recording changes just about everything thats been written about that first game.
When he turned those 18 guys loose, obviously they
were having a good time, but obviously this was kind of try
number one. He commented and said he didnt write enough
rules. It came out of that experience, Jim Naismith said in
a university news release. That makes a lot of sense.
Rob Rains, the author of James Naismith: The Man Who
Invented Basketball, co-written with Naismiths granddaughter Hellen Carpenter, said he didnt know any other
audio recording of Naismith. He said the recording suggests
that the game was modified much more quickly than we
first thought.
Zogry said he was surprised to discover the audio and realize it was the only existing recording of Naismiths voice.
That I was able to find something like this in this day
and age, when the media is ubiquitous, to actually find a
form of media that had been lost to history and be able to
share it with the public through the KU archives is very
exciting, he said.

Rondo issued a statement Tuesday addressing those who
viewed his initial statement as a non-apology. He said: I

sorry for what I said to Bill. There is no place on or off the

OLYMPICS
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.
Organizers are capping off open pipes
through which raw sewage flows into the bay at
Marina da Gloria, the launching point for sail-
ing. This is a stop-gap measure that does little

to reduce the level of viruses in the bay.
The marina isnt going to fix everything,
Fox said. Our biggest headache has always
been in the Marina da Gloria and the waterfront
along Flamengo beach.
Fox said there are alternative bioremediation and oxygenation plans that will be
implemented if the pipe belt does not fix the
problem.
Brazils economy was booming when Rio
was awarded the games in 2009, but the country
is now in its worst recession since the 1930s.
Those financial difficulties have seen delays to
planned projects, including a 60 million real
($19 million) venture to revitalize the citys
Marina da Gloria.
Carlo Croce, president of World Sailing, said
he had been told by IOC President Thomas Bach
to stop pressing Olympic organizers about
their failure to complete projects.
When you face something like the difference in economics that Brazil has faced in the
last two years it is difficult to sort of maintain
your promises, he said. They cannot do it,
simply. Thomas asked us to please not press
too much because we had been over-pressing
the (Rio) organization ... the finance was there
in the beginning but its not there anymore.

RAIDERS
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

Broncos game and twice turned down interview requests Tuesday before sauntering
back into the locker room.
I feel like I perform well every game so I
dont really have a dream game, King said
when asked about his performance against
the Broncos. I dont know, I just perform. I
take it one punt at a time.
The directional punting has taken its toll
on Kings overall numbers. His 43.9-yard
gross average is the lowest of his career, but
the 40.3-yard net is Kings best.
King is quick to credit former Raiders special teams coach Steve Hoffman, now with
Tennessee, and current Oakland coach Brad
Seely for his improvements.
It was Hoffman who first suggested King
try kicking into a garbage can downfield to
improve his accuracy. Seely continued that
practice and added his own twist by having
King field tennis balls shot out of a pitching
machine to help his handwork.
Seelys one of those coaches, hes so
critical, he looks at all the little stuff, King
said. I think that helped me sharpen up my
accuracy. I can always get better. Its a
process. Im going to get better and better as
the years go on.
King will have to make at least one more
adjustment before the season is over.
The Raiders placed long snapper Jon
Condo on injured reserve after he hurt his
right shoulder recovering the muffed punt by
Denver.
Oakland signed Thomas Gafford on
Tuesday and will likely start him this week
against Green Bay. Gafford spent 11 games
with Chicago this season before getting
released on Nov. 28.
NOTES: The Raiders entire offensive
line walked in after practice and found new
55-inch televisions in front of their lockers.
They were a gift from quarterback Derek Carr.
. Oakland signed WR Larry Pinkard to the
practice squad.
Arbuckle, recently named Sun Belt player
of the year, passed for 4,000-plus yards and
26 TDs this year. His primary targets are
Penny Hart, the leagues freshman of the
year, junior Robert Davis and senior
Donovan Harden.
A surprisingly easy 34-7 victory at
Georgia Southern two weeks ago clinched
the necessary sixth victory to become eligible for a bowl, but Arbuckle says thats just
part of the Panthers goal.
As a senior class, thats the kind of legacy we wanted to leave, he said. We werent
talking just about making a bowl game. We
were talking about winning a bowl game and
getting a winning season. Those are two
goals we have on the table.

Some days fruit is enough. Other days chocolate is needed

By Melissa dArabian
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.
Once you master the (simple) technique of making these chocolate baskets, you can easily customize them, adding cinnamon,

DARK CHOCOLATE BERRY BASKETS

Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted almonds
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (white, if you have it)
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
Ground black pepper
2 cups halved or quartered fresh strawberries (or other
berries or orange segments, membranes and seeds removed)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
In a large glass or other microwave-safe bowl, combine
the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on 50 percent
power, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until melted and
smooth, about 3 minutes.
Spread a few spoons of the melted chocolate into a silicone cupcake liner, using the back of the spoon to spread
the chocolate up the side of the liner so it is evenly and
thickly coated. Sprinkle the wet chocolate with a teaspoon
of almonds and a tiny pinch of kosher salt. Repeat with 7
more liners. Chill the chocolate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the vinegar,
brown sugar and a pinch of pepper. Add the strawberries and
toss to coat. Let sit to allow flavors to meld for at least 15
minutes, or up to a few hours. Immediately before serving,
stir the mint into the strawberries, remove the chocolate
baskets from the molds and spoon in the berries.

A little reduction has a big impact on a simple cocktail

A
ll the best holiday cocktails start
with drinks you make for your 11year-old, right? Or is that just
me?
The boy was craving what is known in
our house as a special drink. Which
basically means anything with sugar.
Except we rarely have soda in the house,
so special drinks usually are homemade
concoctions combining some blend of
seltzer water, juice and whatever else
inspires me in the moment.
On this night, all I had in the refrigera-

tor were apple cider

and orange juice. So
using my killer mixology skills, I dumped
those together then
added a splash of
seltzer. He loved it.
And that is how I
got the inspiration for
this adult version. I
still combine the cider
and juice, but then
simmered them down
Thankfully, most of the gifts that are to

be received from congregation members
who participate in the giving tree have yet
to be collected and Clarkin said she anticipates having a better idea what was stolen
when they begin sorting the gifts by families codes on Monday. Whatever is miss-
in a reduction. The resulting syrup is

spooned into glasses, topped with a
splash of amaretto liqueur, then finished
with a healthy pour of sparkling wine. A
sprig of rosemary adds a fresh touch.

ing, theyll compensate by purchasing the
gifts requested on the coastside childrens
wish lists, Clarkin said.
Ideally, each of the 114 families receives
new clothes as well as toys that they might
not otherwise be able to afford during the
holidays, she said.
Its just a very wonderful way to celebrate
the Christmas season in giving to others,
Clarkin said. We have a wonderful group of
volunteers and we just focus on other people
and meeting their needs. And the joy of the
families when the gifts are given to them,
theyre so appreciative and so happy no
matter what gifts they get. And, we feel we
receive so much more in doing our volunteer
work.
Zuno said the Sheriffs Office will see
what help it can offer, along with Redwood
City police and fire departments, as they
maintain an extensive donation program
having collected an estimated 10,000 toys.
Its all meant to put smiles on the families that cant afford to give their kids what
they want, Zuno said.
However, those gifts are also already
specifically earmarked for families that
signed up to participate in advance, Zuno

In a small saucepan over medium-high,
combine the cider and orange juice.
Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 20 to 25
minutes. Set aside to cool.
To prepare each cocktail, pour 1/2 ounce
of the cider-juice reduction into a

amaretto liqueur to each glass, then top
with sparkling wine. Lightly smack each
rosemary sprig several times against the
counter to release the oils, then add 1

crime or of someone who is in possession

THE DAILY JOURNAL
HOUSING
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
voted unanimously last month to recommend the council approve the station
area p l an an d en v i ro n men t al i mp act

report for development.

Kelly Erardi, of Republic Urban
Properties, said the affordable housing project for veterans is an extension of the companys effort to serve those who are former
members of the nations military.
This is about giving them a starting
place for coming back into their community, he said. We are very excited about it.
Millbrae natives who are also veterans will
be given the highest priority of applicants
interested in living at the development, followed by veterans from other communities
and then those without a record of military
service but who are eligible to live in lowincome housing.
Those who live in the development will
also be given Clipper cards, to encourage
use of public transportation.
Republic Urban Properties recently completed building 60 units of affordable housing on the Veterans Affairs campus on
Willow Road in Menlo Park.
Van Every said his company is committed
to building many similar developments for
veterans across the area.
We believe we can replicate these projects throughout the county because of the
need for this kind of housing, he said.

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

Tuesday.

but woke up with a sore throat

the exit fee and then conduct a public

workshop and determine that PG&Es
methodology to raise the fee is
sound.
The utility has hardly been respectful of local efforts to create
Community Choice Aggregation programs, Leno said.
It took out ads in local papers and
conducted robocalls while Marin
County was forming its program, Leno
said.
It tried to frighten consumers that
their bills would double, Leno said.
But advocates of the clean energy
programs say customer bills will rise
only slightly and be far better for the
environment.
In 2010, PG&E spent more than $40
million to support the passage of
Proposition 16, which would have
required a two-thirds supermajority
before local governments could use
public funds to start Community
Choice Aggregation programs.
The measure failed, however.
Leno said PG&E has tried to kill
CCA efforts from the start.
We should presume this is a continuation of previous efforts, Leno said
about the 95 percent increase request.
There are currently three of the
aggregation programs operating in the
state including Marin Clean Energy
and Sonoma Clean Energy. A third,
Lancaster Choice Energy in Los
Angeles County just started. San
Francisco and San Mateo counties are
next in line to start such a program.
Pine brought the proposal to the
I cant take the drug if Im sick, he
said.
Grocott, 56, was diagnosed with the
cancer in June after he passed out at
the Plantation Coffee Roastery on
Laurel Street in May.
He started six rounds of chemotherapy in July and will have stem cell
treatment after.
The treatment that was scheduled to
start Dec. 22 could be delayed up to
two weeks, he said.
He will be required to wear a cum-
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.

Court of California, County of San Mateo,

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.
