Election results
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Funding for an expansion and
rebuild of a Foster-City middle
school and reopening of a San
Mateo elementary school did not
receive enough votes to pass.
Measure P only received 46.6
percent approval, short of 55 per-
cent voter approval it required,
according to semi-ofcial election
results from the San Mateo County
Elections Ofce.
The San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees placed the $130 mil-
lion bond measure on the ballot
this summer. The bonds aim was
to rebuild and expand Bowditch
Middle School to add Foster City
fifth graders and reopen Knolls
Elementary School in San Mateo
for the 2016-17 school year, fol-
lowing a design process and con-
struction of about three years. It
would have cost property owners
$19 per $100,000 assessed prop-
erty value.
Those on the opposition cam-
paign, No on P, were led by Heidi
Bowman, former treasurer of the
voter-approved 2008 Measure L,
and Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich.
The campaign could not be reached
for comment.
Yes on P, on the other hand, was
backed by those such as board
President Lory Lorimer Lawson,
Superintendent Cynthia Simms
and Measure P co-chairs Daniela
Relaford and Doug Stoveland. The
Yes on P committee could not be
reached for comment.
Controversy was sparked back
in September over the measure
after San Mateo Mayor David Lim
and Deputy Mayor Robert Ross
made it clear they would not rec-
ommend that the City Council
Measure P falls short
$130 million bond measure would have funded SM-FC district facilities

A Pescadero ranch hand prosecutors say
was under the inuence of crystal metham-
phetamine when he tried separately drown-
ing a 9-week-old puppy and its owner inside
the 67-year-old womans home was charged
yesterday with ve felonies.
In his rst court appearance since being
arrested Sunday, Jorge Ruiz-Martinez, 23,
pleaded not guilty to felony counts of resi-
dential burglary, physical elder abuse, false
imprisonment, methamphetamine posses-
sion and animal cruelty. He is also charged
with a misdemeanor count of being under
the inuence.
Ruiz-Martinez asked for a court-appointed
attorney and did not
waive his right to a
speedy prosecution so he
returns to court Nov. 18
for a preliminary hear-
ing. Meanwhile, he
remains in custody on
$100,000 bail and a no-
bail hold.
Sheriffs deputies
arrested Ruiz-Martinez
after responding to a call
from the woman he allegedly attacked. The
woman reported that she found a man, later
identied as Ruiz-Martinez, inside her home
trying to force water down her dogs throat
from a water bottle. She freed the choking
dog, Heidi, and put her in another room. She
pushed the man out of the house and called
her son but Ruiz-Martinez threw two rocks
through the sliding glass door, entered and
put the woman in a choke hold, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
He reportedly dragged her to the kitchen
sink, held her jaw open and poured water in
her mouth six times before she was freed,
Wagstaffe said.
The womans son arrived at the home and
called 911. Deputies found him in a eld
about 30 feet away. They also say he had
crystal methamphetamine and was also
under the influence of a controlled sub-
stance.
The woman had some bruising at her neck
and the puppy was treated at the Peninsula
Humane Society.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Santa Barbara man who reportedly
stabbed his friend during an argument after
attending a San Francisco 49ers game plead-
ed not guilty to attempted murder and assault
with a deadly weapon.
Dustin Semenza, 28, is also accused of
using premeditation and causing great bodi-
ly injury in the Sept. 23 attack. Although
Semenza pleaded not guilty to the charges,
prosecutors say he told the victims brother
after the incident that s got crazy.
South San Francisco police arrested
Semenza after responding to the Residence
Inn at 1350 Veterans
Blvd. around 2 a.m. on
reports of a stabbing in
his room. They found his
28-year-old friend bleed-
ing profusely on the oor
from seven stab wounds,
two in his chest and the
others on his lower back,
legs and arms.
The victims brother
said the three had come
from Santa Barbara for the football game.
After, he and Semenza went to San Francisco
for drinking while the man returned to the
hotel room. The victim called them later,
asking them to come back with snacks, but
after they arrived he and Semenza reportedly
got into a heated argument because they
hadnt originally accompanied him to the
hotel. The brother left for the elevator and
Semenza joined him shortly after. The
brother returned to the room to check on the
victim and found him injured.
Semenza remains in custody without bail.
After entering his plea, he waived his right
to a preliminary hearing within 10 days but
not 60. He returns to court Dec. 20 for the
hearing which is estimated to last three
hours.

woman Ofcer Johnna Watson said.
The teen, who is being questioned by
investigators, could face possible charges
including assault with a deadly weapon,
Watson added. His name has not been
released.
This is a horric crime when a human
being thinks its OK to set another on re,
said Watson, who called it a senseless act.

A 54-year-old driver accused of fatally
slamming into a Menlo Park couple walk-
ing their dog and another vehicle carrying
four teenagers appeared in court yesterday
for the rst time since her arrest in the col-
lision that also injured the victims dog and
orphaned their three teenage children.
Marjorie Reitzell, of Redwood City, was
charged with two counts of gross vehicular
manslaughter and two felony counts of driv-
ing while under the inuence causing injury.
Reitzell, who is on probation for a separate
driving while under the inuence misde-
meanor conviction last November, appeared
with a court-appointed
attorney but put off a plea
until Thursday.
A judge upheld her $2
million bail and she
remains in custody.
Reitzell is accused of
killing Balbir and Kamal
Singh just before 7 p.m.
Oct. 24 as they walked
their dog on Chilco
Street. Reitzell, who is on probation for a
2012 DUI conviction, reportedly struck the
couple from behind before going over a cen-
ter divider and hitting the second car head-
on before coming to rest against a tree. The
couple died at the scene and their Chihuahua
was injured but survived. He was treated at
the Peninsula Humane Society.
Prosecutors have not released a specic
blood alcohol level for Reitzell but said it
was signicantly more than twice the legal
limit. She had been drinking heavily all
day, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Reitzell was actually due in court the
Monday after the crash but required medical
care after complaining of chest pains and
has been hospitalized the past week.
In addition to the DUI conviction,
Reitzell also has previous drug-related con-
victions.
Driver in court for killing couple in DUI crash

Jurors deliberated just shy of three hours
before convicting a Daly City man of two
felony drunk driving charges for reportedly
leaving his seriously injured passenger for
hours inside a crashed car off an embank-
ment before returning to move the man into
the drivers seat ahead of authorities
arrival.
Henock Admassu, 24, who had been out of
custody on $150,000, was immediately
taken into custody on increased bail of
$250,000 after jurors returned verdicts of
guilt on charges of felony
drunk driving causing
injury and felony driving
with more than a blood
alcohol of .08 causing
injury. Jurors also found
true the enhancement of
causing great bodily
injury. He will be sen-
tenced Jan. 10.
According to prosecu-
tors, on Dec. 10, 2012,
Admassu called 911 to say he was involved
in an accident but disoriented and unclear
where he left the vehicle containing an
injured passenger. About 45 minutes later,
he arrived at his sisters home and awoke her
with the same story. They reportedly spent
the next few hours driving around looking
for the spot and called 911 again around 4
a.m. to report the vehicles location 300
feet down off an embankment off Skyline
Boulevard.
When Daly City police and the California
Highway Patrol arrived, they reportedly
spotted Admassu pulling the passenger from

STANFORD Governments and busi-
nesses spend $1 trillion a year for global
cybersecurity, but unlike wartime casualties
or oil spills, theres no clear idea what the
total losses are because few will admit
theyve been compromised. Cybersecurity
leaders from more than 40 countries are
gathering at Stanford University this week
to consider tackling that information gap
by creating a single, trusted entity that
would keep track of how much hackers steal.
Chinese Minister Cai Mingzhao acknowl-
edged there are issues of trust to overcome
with some U.S. cybersecurity firms
pointing to attacks coming from the
Chinese military. But he said countries must
work together. In cyberspace, all countries
face the same problems and ultimately share
the same fate, he said.
Mingzhao also urged counterparts to
establish new international rules for behav-
ior in cyberspace, a move State Department
cyberissues coordinator Christopher
Painter said isnt necessary.

Councilwoman Karyl
Matsumoto, Councilmen Mark
Addiego and Pradeep Gupta were
joined by Liza Normandy to secure
four open seats on the South San
Francisco City Council in the
crowded race.
With 59.1 percent of the vote,
Matsumoto, 70, won the two-year
council seat against Collin Post
and Carlos Martin, according to
semi-ofcial election results from
the San Mateo County Elections
Ofce. The four-year seats will be
held by Addiego, who received
20.4 percent of the vote;
Normandy, who received 17.6 per-
cent of the vote; and Gupta, who
received 15.5 percent of the vote.
Maurice Goodman came right
behind Gupta with 12.7 percent of
the vote and Rick Ochsenhirt fol-
lowed with 10.9 percent of the
vote. Others running for the four-
year seat included William (Bill)
Lock, John Harry Prouty and Kate
MacKay. Both Normandy and
Goodman serve on the South San
Francisco Unied School District
Board of Trustees.
Appointed incumbent Gupta
opted out of running for his two-
year seat created by Kevin
Mullins election to the Assembly
and sought one of three four-year
seats. Back in September,
Matsumoto temporarily suspended
her campaign as a result of person-
al and political issues all coming
to a head at one time. The follow-
ing week, at a League of Women
Voters debate, Matsumoto
announced she was back in the
race.
Gupta, 70, said he was ecstatic
with the results. Going into ofce,
he said he wants to make sure the
streets are safe and enjoyable for
everyone.

amount of open areas and would

San Carlos councilmen Bob
Grassilli and Matt Grocott, both
longtime incumbents who shared
mayoral duties this year, and the
citys economic commission chair
Cameron Johnson secured seats
on the council.
The three beat out appointed
interim Councilwoman Karen
Clapper, former mayor Inge Tiegel
Doherty and former planning
commissioner Michael Corral,
who actively sought out no
endorsements or donations.
Grassilli was the top vote-getter
with 2,570 votes or 25.42 per-
cent, followed
by Johnson
with 2,392 or
23.66 percent
and Grocott
who secured
2,121 votes or
20.98 percent.
The three
grabbed the top
spots from the
rst reporting of ballots and never
shifted during the evening.
I think it shows that honestly I
try to work with everybody. I got
endorsements, walked 2,500
houses and tried to reach out to
everybody and tried to listen to all
sides, Grassilli said.
Grocott, a
home and land-
scape architect
who served as
mayor in 2005
and 2012, a
term he split
with Grassilli,
campaigned on
the need for
e m p l o y e e
retirement benet reform and open
labor negotiations. Grocott felt
that platform along with his prior
council record combined helped
convince voters to keep him in
office. That said, as election
results came in, Grocott said the
anticipation never gets old or eas-
ier.
Its always
butterflies, he
said.
But now he
said its time to
knuckle down
and get to work.
Grassilli, an
e i g h t - y e a r

also took aim at
city finances and suggested
reviewing utility rates like

Eric Reed and Charles Stone will
be the two fresh faces to sit along-
side incumbent Warren Lieberman
on the Belmont City Council, the
citys voters decided yesterday.
With 21.2 percent of the vote,
Reed was the highest vote-getter,
according to semi-ofcial results
from the San Mateo County
Elections Ofce. Reed said he felt
honored to be
voted onto the
council and that
it was a reward
after narrowly
losing by 11
votes to current
Belmont Mayor
C h r i s t i n e
Wozniak two
years ago.
This was the
rst time Charles Stone ran for an
elected office
and he came in
second place
with 19.7 per-
cent of the
votes.

port I received

Assemblyman and
gun-rights advocate
to challenge Brown
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO Republican
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly on
Tuesday announced his 2014 bid
for California governor, wading
into a race against Gov. Jerry
Brown despite the incumbents
seemingly unstoppable money
and campaign machinery.
Donnelly, a gun-rights advo-
cate, outspoken critic of illegal
immigration and social conserva-
tive, said he is unfazed by a state
electorate that leans far to his
political left. He says his guer-
rilla grass-roots campaign will
offer voters an alternative to the
high taxes and what he calls gov-
ernment interference offered by
Brown and his fellow Democrats.
I can unite the divided majori-
ty that makes up California: peo-
ple who work hard, who play by
the rules and just want to be left
alone by their government,
Donnelly, 47, said in a telephone
interview with The Associated
Press.
Yet his candidacy, along with
that of former lawmaker and Lt.
Gov. Abel Maldonado, a moderate
Republican, is unlikely to receive
a warm welcome from the GOP
establishment. After decades of
sinking registration numbers, the
party has sought to rebrand itself
so it can appeal to a wider variety
of voters, including Latinos.
Many party delegates had hoped
to shift the party to the political
center and keep the focus off the
divisive issues that have been
central to Donnellys previous
campaigns, including his history
as a former Minuteman border
enforcer.

Man arrested for human trafficking
AVallejo man was arrested for conducting
a prostitution operation out of a hotel on
Mitchell Avenue near the South Airport
Boulevard strip in South San Francisco
Monday, according to police.
Police contacted Shon Tinsley, 27, who
was out on parole for a burglary conviction,
during a compliance check and was found
with a 20-year-old San Francisco woman
who indicated she had been forced to work
as a prostitute. Further investigation
revealed that Tinsley was sex trafcking the
victim and acted as her pimp. The victim
was referred to county counseling services,
according to police.
Tinsley was arrested for human trafck-
ing, pimping, pandering and his parole has
been revoked, according to police. He is
being held in the San Mateo County Jail on
$250,000 bail, according to police.
South San Francisco police have investi-
gated four human trafcking cases this year
alone and eight since 2011, leading to the
arrests of 11 trafckers and the rescue of 14
victims, including six children.
Anyone who suspects human trafcking
can call South San Francisco police at (650)
877-8900 or the National Human
Trafcking hotline at (888) 373-7888 or
text BeFree (233733).
PG&E deploys safety helicopters
PG&E has begun daily helicopter patrols
over the San Francisco Peninsula as an addi-
tional measure to prevent construction acci-
dents on gas transmission pipelines and to
continue providing reliable service to cus-
tomers, the utility announced yesterday.
The ights, which are occurring in the
morning seven days a week, are conducted
over about 106 miles of pipelines from San
Francisco to San Jose, according to Pacic
Gas and Electric.
Crews, including a pilot and a spotter, y
about 400 to 500 feet above the ground on a
path above four PG&E gas transmission
pipelines. The spotter uses an iPad with GIS
and GPS coordinates to locate new construc-
tion projects, then takes photos to make
sure that the utility pipelines have been
located and marked and that proper excava-
tion techniques are being followed, accord-
ing to PG&E.
PG&E venting
gas in Foster City Thursday
PG&E will briey vent natural gas during
the day Thursday, Nov. 7 in the vicinity of
Beach Park Boulevard/ Polaris Avenue inter-
section (south), Castor Street/ Polaris
Avenue intersection and Arcturus Circle/
Polaris Avenue intersection (north) to allow
crews to work on a pipe, the utility
announced yesterday.
Customers may briefly smell natural gas
and hear the sound of it venting from the
pipe. It will quickly dissipate into the
atmosphere and is not harmful, according
to the Pacific Gas and Electric.
Anyone with questions can call (800)
743-5000. Service will not be interrupted
during this work.
String of San Carlos auto burglaries
Astring of five auto burglaries occurred
in San Carlos Monday night, according to
police.
In each case, the vehicles window was
smashed and items were found missing,
according to police.
The burglaries occurred on the 900 and
600 blocks of Laurel Street, the 600 block
of El Camino Real, the 1200 block of
Cherry Street and the 500 block of
Skyway Road. Police believe the burgla-
ries occurred between the hours of 6 p.m.
and 7:30 p.m., according to police.
Window smash burglaries tend to be
crimes of opportunity and people should
not leave valuable property visible in
cars, police said.

Redwood City voters opted for
familiar faces on the City Council,
re-electing two
incumbents and
returning a for-
mer mayor to
the one open
seat.
Jeff Gee,
Diane Howard
and John
Seybert were
the top three
vote-getters from a pool of six.
Bringing up the rest were bail
bonds business owner Corrin
Rankin, Planning Commission
Chair Ernie Schmidt and commu-
nity activist James Han.
Gee secured 24.5 percent of the
votes or 3,876, Howard had 22
percent or 3,484 and Seybert 18.9
percent or 2,994. Rankin fol-
lowed with 13 percent, Schmidt
with 10.8 percent and Han with
10.7 percent.
I can breath now, Gee joked. I
am very, very honored.
Gee said he is ready to nish
moving Redwood City beyond the
moniker Deadwood City.
Seybert, 48, and Gee, 53, were
running to retain their respective
seats but, with Councilman Jeff Ira
being termed out, voters were
guaranteed at least one new mem-
ber.
Howard, 63, previously served
on the City Council from 1994 to
2009 which included time as
mayor.
Although Schmidt said hed be
lying if he didnt wish he were
among the victors, he also cele-
brated the wins of his great
friends. He also said hes not
going anywhere as a community
leader.
I have no idea what will happen
come the next election time but in
the meantime there is a lot of work
to be done, Schmidt said.
Rankin is similarly uncertain if
her future will hold another bid for
public ofce but said shes very
proud of her campaign and accom-
plishing what she set out to do.
Rankin ran on a platform focused
on increased participation and
public safety, particularly the
restoration of a browned out re
engine in downtown Redwood
City, which sharpened after a pair
of apartment complex blazes.
Its really unfortunate not to be
able to bring that perspective to
the council but I hope that my
voice has been heard and that the

measures to keep us safe, she

Councilman Rico Medina was
the top vote-getter in the race for
the San Bruno City Council, with
32.5 percent of the vote.
There were two open seats, so
Councilman Ken Ibarra, who
received 29.1 percent of the vote,
also secured a seat on the council,
according to semi-ofcial election
results from the San Mateo County
Elections Office. Challengers
Marty Medina
and Andrew
Mason nished
with 22.6 per-
cent of the vote
and 15.9 per-
cent of the
vote, respec-
tively.
Rico Medina,
48, was first
elected to the council in 2005 and
re-elected in 2009.
Im feel extremely fortunate,
blessed and
honored to
serve San Bruno

Incumbents receive most votes in San Bruno City Council race
By Angela Swartz

Longtime educator Tom Mohr
came away with the most votes in
the race for the San Mateo County
Community College District
Board of Trustees, with 42.8 per-
cent of the vote.
Incumbent Richard Holober, 61,
received 38.6 percent of the vote
to snag the second open seat on
the board, according to semi-of-
cial election results from the San
Mateo County Elections Office.
George Yang came away with 11. 5
percent of the vote and J. Samuel
Diaz took 7.1 percent of the vote.
The vacant seat that longtime
trustee Helen Hausman left this
past spring was up for grabs,
along with Holobers seat.
Mohr, 78, said his point of
focus going
into office is
improving the
completion and
g r a d u a t i o n
rates, but
knows its not
the kind of mat-
ter you change
s ubs t ant i al l y

I feel very good about it (the
win), said Mohr, a former science
teacher, high school principal,
San Mateo Union High School
District superintendent and presi-
dent of Caada College. I wanted
very much to continue my associ-
ation with the college district.
Mohr said he was surprised by
the margin of his win.
I didnt know what to expect,
he said. I have worked in every
part of the
county over the
years and I
dont know if
that made a dif-
ference in those
numbers or
not.
This is
Holobers fth
term on the
board.
Im very pleased and look for-
ward to serving another term,
Holober said. The issue that we
will be addressing, simply
because it is happening right now,
is the accreditation review.
Beyond that, were moving into
new environment after ve years
of cuts, we will now be able to
restore programs and offer new
programs; its an exciting time.

The California Public Utilities
Commission in San Francisco Tuesday
issued a staff citation with an $8.1 million
ne to PG&E for allowing a contractor to
conduct inadequate X-ray tests on natural
gas pipeline welds.
The commission staff said in the citation
that a PG&E employee discovered on March
26 that an outside contractor was perform-
ing radiographic tests on a pipeline in
Brentwood that didnt meet a federal require-
ment for evaluation of the full circumference
of a line.
The citation said PG&E red the contrac-
tor and conducted new tests on that line, and
also conducted an internal review that found
224 previous instances where the same con-
tractor violated the requirement.
The planned $8.1 million ne is for the
224 previous violations.
PG&E has 10 days to either pay the penal-
ty or begin an appeal process before a CPUC
administrative law judge.
Asked whether the utility plans to appeal,
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said,
We are reviewing the decision and will
respond accordingly.
Jack Hagan, the director of the commis-
sions safety and enforcement division,
said in a statement, It is totally unac-

ASBURY PARK, N.J. The 2016 over-
tones were clear in this years two most
high-prole elections.
Republican Gov. Chris Christies
resounding re-election victory in
Democratic-leaning New Jersey sets the
opening argument for a possible White
House run while Terry McAuliffes guberna-
torial victory gives fellow Democrats if
not his condante Hillary Rodham Clinton,
herself a road map for success in the piv-
otal presidential swing-voting state.
Christie became the
rst Republican to earn
more than 50 percent of
the New Jersey vote in a
q u a r t e r - c e n t u r y .
McAuliffe is the first
member of the party occu-
pying the White House to
become Virginia gover-
nor since 1977.
Among a slate of off-
year balloting from coast to coast, New
York City voters also elected Bill De
Blasio, making him the rst Democrat to
lead the nations largest city since 1989.
Colorado agreed to tax
marijuana at 25 percent,
and Houston rejected
turning the Astrodome
into a convention hall,
likely dooming it to dem-
olition. Alabama
Republicans chose the
est abl i shment - backed
Bradley Byrne over a tea
party-supported rival in a
special congressional runoff election in the
conservative state.
Turnout was relatively light even in the
Christie cruises in New Jersey, McAuliffe wins Virginia

MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL
COLORADO:Voters approved a 25 percent tax on newly legal
recreational marijuanatofundschool construction.Opponents
argued the tax rate would benet black market sales.
MAINE:Voters in Portland,Maines largest city,declared victory
on a measure to legalize possession of recreational amounts
of marijuana.
MICHIGAN:Voters in Ferndale,Jackson and Lansing approved
proposals offering some legal protection to users of small
amounts of marijuana.
UTAH:Residents in the small town of Hyde Park are voting on
whether to allow beer sales in a proposal that has divided the
conservative, mostly Mormon city. Hyde Park is among a
handful of dry cities left in the state,and the ordinance would
only allow the sale of beer with the alcohol content of 3.2
percent.
SECESSION
COLORADO:Votersin11largelyrural countiesaredecidingon
a mostly symbolic effort to form a 51st state called North
Colorado because of what supporters call a disconnect with
urban areas. The Legislature and Congress would have to
approve the creation of a new state, something considered
unlikely.As of around midnight,at least six of the counties had
voted against the proposal.
GAMBLING
NEWYORK:New York voters bet big on casino gambling as an
economic energy shot, agreeing to let seven Las Vegas-style
gaming palaces be built around the state,including eventually
in New York City.
MASSACHUSETTS:Voters in Palmer rejected Mohegan Suns
plan for a $1 billion resort casino and entertainment complex.
And Suffolk Downs says it will reassess plans to build a resort
casino at the 78-year-old thoroughbred race track after voters
in a Boston neighborhood rejected its proposal and residents
of a neighboring community approved it.
ASTRODOMES FUTURE
TEXAS: Voters rejected a plan to authorize bonds to turn the
Houston Astrodome, the worlds rst multipurpose domed
stadium, into a giant convention and event center and
exhibition space.The outcome means the stadium is likely to
be torn down.
MINIMUM WAGE
WASHINGTON STATE: Early returns showed voters in the
small Seattle suburb of SeaTac were passing a measure that
would raise the minimum wage for workers at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport and nearby large hotels to $15 an hour.
Washington state already has the highest minimum wage at
$9.19.
NEWJERSEY: Voters approved a constitutional amendment
raising the states minimum wage by $1,to $8.25 an hour,and
to provide for automatic cost-of-living increases, as 10 other
states already do.
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
MAINE:Residentsof SouthPortlandrejectedaproposal aimed
at blocking the ow of tar sands oil from western Canada to
the city. Environmentalists say the thick, gooey oil is more
difcult to clean up than conventional crude oil, contains
harmful chemicals and releases more greenhouse gases.
Supporters of a pipeline say a ban would hamper the growth
of existing petroleum-based businesses.
WASHINGTON STATE: A measure that would require
mandatorylabelingof geneticallyengineeredfoodswasfailing
in early returns. Washington would be the rst state to put
such requirements in place,and the campaign has shaped up
to be one of the costliest in state history.
GAY RIGHTS
MICHIGAN: Residents of the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak
approved an ordinance making it illegal to discriminate based
on sexual orientation and a number of other factors.
SCHOOL FUNDING
COLORADO: A kindergarten-through-12th-grade school-
nanceoverhaul wasrejected;it wouldhaveincreasedincome
taxes about $1 billion a year and revived a progressive income
tax structure abandoned in the 1980s.

Belmont Councilman Dave Warden will be
joining incumbents Al Stuebing and Betty
Linvill on the Mid-Peninsula Water District
Board to serve the small Belmont-based dis-
trict, voters decided yesterday.
Challenger Mike Malekos almost walked
onto the board in an uncontested election
before Warden threw his hat in the ring.
Warden, three-time former mayor of
Belmont who served on the City Council for
12 years, rolled in rst with 31.2 percent of
the vote. He gave up his position to run for
a seat on the water board at the last minute
because he said he couldnt stand to see it go
uncontested. Hes grateful that the voters
and his community recognized that he could
continue to serve in the best interest of the
ratepayers, Warden said.
Linvill came in second with 25.2 percent
of the vote. This was the
rst time she had to run
for a seat since she
walked on six years ago,
Linvill said.
Im proud to be elected
and I feel an enormous
responsibility to contin-
ue to serve the communi-
t y, Linvill said.
This was the second
time Stuebing was re-
elected after coming in
third with 23.4 percent of
the vote. Mike Malekos,
a former Belmont nance
commissioner with 18
years of utility experi-
ence, lost with 20.3 per-
cent of the vote.
All the candidates gen-
erated good ideas and,
although the election
process stirred up issues,
it turned into a positive
thing with which the
board will move forward,
Stuebing said.
Company oversight
was at the core of the
election after a recent
embezzlement scandal in
which former employee
Catherine Abou-Remeleh allegedly embez-
zled more than $200,000 over a three-year
period but was caught after suffering a
stroke.
The small 18-employee operation has an
annual $9 million budget and more than $17
million in assets. Working out thorough
bookkeeping and budgeting is a must,
Warden said previously. He plans to look at

OPINION 9
In defense of McDougald
Editor,
I write in defense of Chuck
McDougalds recent column headlined
The Affordable Care Act Conspiracy
Theory (Nov. 2 issue of the Daily
Journal) suspecting that at least one
of your progressive readers will
write in to dismiss him as a kook. He
is no such thing, and conspiracy the-
ories are sometimes right. The piece
is well reasoned and backed with
facts.
Mr. McDougalds speculations
about the motives of the people
behind Obamacare are quite plausible.
Its obvious by now that no one per-
son ever knew the contents, much
less the implications, of all its 906
pages. Its obvious that the law will
need major revisions, and soon. Its
no stretch at all to believe that the
instigators of Obamacare have seen it
all along as a throw-away stepping
stone to a single payer system a
euphemism for a forcible political
power grab. Many of them have said
as much publicly. Should they succeed
in capturing health care, its likely
these progressives will launch fur-
ther attacks on what remains of our
freedom and prosperity. But its just
possible that things may go the
opposite way. The collapse of
Obamacare just might lead us to start
unraveling some of the government
edicts, interferences, subsidies,
licensing and controls that have
brought health care to the mess we
have now.
Patients, sensitized to costs, might
start to shop around as they now do
for Lasik eye surgery. Insurance com-
panies might have to face genuine
competition, not the faux competi-
tion of the Obamacare exchanges.
Lets hope.

Health care fix by Nov. 30,
another Obama red line?
Editor,
After more than three years and
$400 million the Obama administra-
tion could not even get the
Obamacare website to work. But wait.
Our president tells us he is angry at
the website asco and now reassur-
ingly claims it will be up and running
by Nov. 30. I feel so much better.
Who could worry once our president
sets up one of his Red Lines?

San Mateo
San Carlos should
plan for new high school
Editor,
Many may not remember that there
was once a high school in San
Carlos. It was torn down and replaced
by a tract of new deluxe homes.
Today, teenage San Carlans trek to
other cities to attend high school.
We should be planning a new state-
of-the-art high school (public or pri-
vate) here in San Carlos.
Why cant we have the same con-
cern for a new high school as we do
for the Transit Village proposal? (A
proposal for a future new high school
should merit equal, if not greater, pri-
ority).
Plans for a site might begin by
assembling contiguous industrial
parcels on our east side.

Not such good sports
Editor,
People in America need to be aware
of who they are following in profes-
sional sports. The arrests of New
England Patriot Aaron Hernandez for
murder a couple of months ago and
49er Aldon Smith for DUI as well as
other various charges recently high-
light my point.
From Ben Roethlisberger in the
NFL to Kobe Bryant in the NBA, how
many times have these sports stars
been arrested for the most serious
charges in society: rape and murder?
How often are their accusers called
gold diggers, and how often do they
walk out of court exonerated due to
their wealth and fame? They are paid a
kings ransom to play a childs game.
All this while concessions and fees at
these sporting events become more
and more expensive for ordinary peo-
ple to afford. I propose that there
should be a fan strike. Just let these
stadiums sit empty for a few weeks.
Maybe this will help these men to
clean up their act.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I
s fast food so vital to the nation
that taxpayers should spend $7
billion a year to supplement the
industrys prots? Imagine the outcry
if that was proposed.
And yet a study by economists at
the University of Illinois at
Champaign-Urbana and the
University of California at Berkeleys
Labor Center says its already happen-
i ng.
Seven billion dollars a year is what
it costs taxpayers for Medicaid, food
stamps and the other public assis-
tance programs for fast-food workers
who are paid poverty-level wages.
Asecond report, Super-Sizing
Public Costs by the National
Employment Law Project, said low
wages and missing benets at the 10
largest fast-food companies in the
country cost taxpayers about $3.8
billion a year.
Another way to look at it:
McDonalds posted $1.5 billion in
third-quarter prots. Taxpayers paid
$1.2 billion last year for public assis-
tance to the McDonalds workforce.
Thats $300 million per quarter, a 20
percent contribution to the compa-
nys bottom line.
Its enough to give you indigestion.
The Fast Food researchers calcu-
lated that the cost to Missouri taxpay-
ers, where about 49 percent of fast-
food workers receive public assis-
tance, is about $146 million a year.
Post-Dispatch reporter Kavita
Kumar wrote Tuesday that Allan
MacNeill, a Webster University polit-
ical economist, said the public cost
was probably underestimated. Thats
because it did not include managers
and people who work fewer than 10
hours a week.
The study also looked at only ve
of the largest federal public assistance
programs, excluding other federal and
state programs that would have
pushed the gures higher, MacNeill
said.
By under-paying employees, com-
panies push their real cost of doing
business onto the public at large.
This can be called corporate welfare.
Or socialism. But not capitalism.
Fast-food workers should be paid a
living wage. The corporations that
hire them must stop relying on the
public for anything more than buying
the occasional burger.
Fast-food subsidies
How we compete!
T
he American mind in particular has been
trained to equate success with victory, to
equate doing well with beating someone.
Eliot Aronson.
Competition is running amok in our culture in many
ways. Its like a national religion and to question the
advisability of extreme greediness to compete and win
is considered by many to be un-American. Competition
permeates our culture so thoroughly that we take it for
granted, like its the natural order of things. After all,
our free-enterprise system depends upon it. Capitalism
depends on us to judge our self-worth by how much
more we have than the
other guy more money,
prestige, control, beauty,
strength, trophies, etc.
When you think of the
concepts that are akin to
competition, such as
aggression, greed, envy,
distrust, conflict, vio-
lence, we do not see a
pretty picture of human
striving. When you think
about how the idea of free
enterprise has been dis-
torted by leveraged buy-
outs, takeovers, unscrupu-
lous tactics relied on by corporate leaders to gain the
advantage, or to make CEOs rich or to gain political
favor, or to chase that encompassing fetish, expan-
sion, you can see where competition can easily be
turned into a monster. And we wonder why we have so
much trouble living together with love and compas-
sion and in peace.
So how competitive are you? Try answering a few
questions that may give you a hint.
When you are stuck behind a slow driver you: a).
honk and expect him to move over or speed up. b). ride
his rear bumper, hoping hell get the message. c). slow
down and figure you might as well relax.
When you hear about someone who has more mate-
rially than you have, you: a). mentally try to figure out
how you can surpass them. b). feel put down by the
person telling you. c). hope they donate a lot to chari-
t y.
If someone were to challenge you to a game you
enjoy and they are good at, you would play: a). only if
you thought you could win. b). play, but be very disap-
pointed if you lost. c). play for the fun of it.
You believe that children should learn that: a). com-
petition is inevitable so they had better learn to com-
pete early. b). you must watch out or others will take
advantage of you. c). cooperation is more important
than competition.
How important is it to you to have the most
impressive car, the biggest diamond, the smartest kid?
a). very b). not much c). not at all.
Success, to you, is: a). having more of everything
than the other guy. b). feeling good about yourself. c).
feeling you have contributed something positive to
society.
If you have, (or were to have) a child in school: a).
it is important that you that he/she strives to become
the best in their class. b). you are satisfied with decent
grades. c). you mainly want them to learn, grow, and
be happy.
When it comes to taking steroids to gain the edge
in athletics, you think: a). Why not? Anything to help
win! b). the laws against it should be enforced. c). it is
a sad comment on how sick competition can get.
When it would come to your athletic son playing
football: a). in spite of the latest information about
concussions, you would encourage it. b). you would
hope it would toughen him up. c). you would steer him
to a less violent sport.
If you had a chance to move up the corporate ladder,
or win an election or tennis championship, and you
could win more easily by doing something dishonest:
a). you would do it if you were sure you wouldnt be
found out. b). maybe you would do it, depending on the
circumstances. c). you would never do such a thing.
As you no doubt guessed, the Aanswers characterize a
very competitive person. B answers youre proba-
bly average. If you answered mostly Cs, you are likely
a cool idealist.
The security that is so vital for healthy human
development is precisely what competition inhibits.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market is
taking a break from its record-breaking
run.
Some weak corporate earnings
reports on Tuesday held the market
back, pushing the major indexes
slightly lower.
Tenet Healthcare plunged after the
hospital operator issued a disappoint-
ing outlook for this quarter and said
that its third-quarter prot fell, in part
because of costs associated with a big
acquisition. Freight forwarder
Expeditors International dropped after
missing analysts expectations for
prot and revenue.
The market is still close to record
levels after a surge that has put the
Standard & Poors 500 index on track
for its best performance since 2009.
Stocks have advanced this year as the
Federal Reserve kept up its stimulus
program to help the U.S. economy
recover.
Investors are struggling, however, to
nd more catalysts to push the market
higher. Investors already expect the
Fed to keep up its stimulus until at least
next year, and company earnings may
start to flag if economic growth
remains in the doldrums.
Were going to run out of steam
here, said Scott Wren, a senior equity
strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
The S&P 500 index dropped 4.96
points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,762.97.
The index is nine points below its
record close of 1,771.95 set Oct. 29.
The index is up 0.4 percent this
month, a muted gain compared with
October, when it rose 4.5 percent as
investors bet that the Fed would con-
tinue with its economic stimulus after a
16-day government shutdown crimped
growth and hurt consumer condence.
The Dow Jones industrial average
was down 20.90 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 15,618.22. The Nasdaq composite
was up 3.27, or less than 0.1 percent,
at 3,939.86.
Overall, corporate earnings for the
third quarter have been better than ana-
lysts had forecast.
Earnings for S&P 500 companies are
expected to grow by 5.2 percent in the
July-to-September period, according to
S&P Capital IQ. Thats better than the
4.9 percent growth recorded in the sec-
ond quarter and the 2.4 percent growth
in the same period a year ago.
Stocks could struggle to add to their
gains in coming weeks, however, now
that three-quarters of the S&P 500s
earnings reports have been released,
said Kristina Hooper, head of U.S.
Capital Markets Research & Strategy at
Allianz Global Investors. Investors
may also be underestimating the
impact that last months government
shutdown had on the economy, she
said.
Whats concerning is what were
seeing for the fourth quarter, Hooper
said. The forecasts companies are mak-
ing suggest that we could see some
damage from the shutdown.
The overwhelming majority of earn-
ings outlooks that companies have
provided for the fourth quarter have
been negative. Of the 78 companies
that have provided investors with guid-
ance, 60 have lowered their forecasts.
On Tuesday, Tenet dropped $4.26, or
8.8 percent, to $44. That decreased the
stocks gain this year to 36 percent.
Expeditors fell $2.88 or 6.2 percent, to
$43.41.
Investors are also waiting for the
Labor Departments closely watched
monthly jobs survey, which was
delayed a week by the government
shutdown. The report is due out Friday.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year note climbed to
2.67 percent from 2.60 percent on
Monday.
The yield rose after a private survey
showed that hiring and sales increased
in the U.S. services sector last month.
That suggests the sector wasnt affected
by the partial government shutdown.
The report measures growth at compa-
nies that employ 90 percent of the
workforce, including retail, construc-
tion, health care and nancial services.
Some weak earnings reports stall market
By Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT Tesla Motors high-ying
stock tumbled 12 percent in after-hours trad-
ing Tuesday after the electric car makers
third-quarter results fell short of expecta-
tions.
Tesla said it sold just over 5,500 of its
Model S sedans in the July-September peri-
od, which was a record for the automaker but
lower than some analysts had predicted.
Barclays analyst Brian Johnson, for exam-
ple, had expected Tesla to deliver 5,820 cars
during the quarter.
In a conference call after its earnings
release, CEO Elon Musk said the companys
production has been constrained by its bat-
tery supplies, but that should ease next year
thanks to a recent deal with Panasonic Corp.
that increases battery shipments to Tesla.
It doesnt make sense to amplify demand
if we cant meet that demand with produc-
tion, Musk said. We have to gure out how
to ramp up faster.
Musk also said the company is looking
into building its own battery plant, likely
with a partner that he didnt identify.
That factory would most likely be in
North America, but we are investigating
other options as well, Musk said.
Musk also told analysts that due to the
battery cell shortage, Tesla was shipping
cars to Europe that could have been sold in
North America. I think we could sustain
20,000 cars a year in North America and
maybe more than that, he said.
During the quarter, Tesla said it invested
heavily in its network of U.S. and European
charging stations and in opening new
stores. The companys development costs
increased as it prepares for next years
planned launch of its Model X crossover.
Report: Apple cuts cost
to make iPad Air by 13 percent
SAN FRANCISCO Apple seems to have
trimmed the bill for making its latest iPad
along with the tablet computers width and
weight.The iPad Air that sells for $499 costs
Apple $274 to make, based on an analysis
released Tuesday by the research rm IHS Inc.
Thats a 13 percent decrease from the estimat-
ed $316 that it cost Apple to make the third-
generation iPad introduced last year.
The iPad Air went on sale last week. IHS
buys various devices and then takes them
apart to assess how much the parts cost.
While the iPad Air slims down in size, the
prot margins are getting fatter, said Andrew
Rassweiler, IHSs senior director of cost
benchmarking services, in a statement.
Apple Inc. declined to comment Tuesday.
But Chief Financial Officer Peter
Oppenheimer assured analysts in a confer-
ence call last month that Apple is going to
work really hard to get down the cost curves
of its products.
Pandora listening
up in face of iTunes Radio
SAN FRANCISCO People listened to
Pandoras Internet radio service for a collec-
tive 1.47 billion hours in October, up 18 per-
cent from a year ago, in the face of the launch
iTunes Radio.
The gure, released by Pandora Media Inc.s
Chief Financial Ofcer Michael Herring at an
investor conference Monday, is Pandoras
second-highest monthly level. It had 1.49
billion hours in March, the last month before
it imposed a 40-hour-per-month cap on free
listening on mobile devices.
It lifted the cap on Sept. 1, two weeks
before Apple Inc. launched iTunes Radio.
Pandoras active listeners fell to 70.9 mil-
lion from 72.7 million in September.
About a month after its mid-September
launch, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that 20
million people had used iTunes Radio to lis-
ten to more than a billion songs.

Hillsdales KevinHoffert, left, scored ve goals in leading the Knights to a 10-5 win over Mills. With the victory, Hillsdale and Mills nished as
co-champs of the Ocean Division, but the Knights advance to a CCS play-in game against the fourth-place team from the Bay Division.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the Mills boys water polo team, the
situation was clear: beat Hillsdale Tuesday
afternoon and capture the Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Ocean Division title and advance
to Fridays Central Coast Section play-in
game against the No. 4 team from the Bay
Division.
Hillsdales mission was a lot more convo-
luted. If the Knights won by a goal, the two
teams would nish as Ocean Division co-
champs, but the Vikings would advance to
the playoff game based on head-to-head
goals scored. If the Knights won by two
goals, another tiebreaker would be needed to
determine who would compete in the play-in
game.
A Hillsdale win by three or more goals,
the Knights tie for the title, but its season
would continue.
Did the Knights know all the math
involved in Tuesdays regular-season nale?
I did, said Hillsdale coach Renato
Hodzic. I said we needed to win by three.
The guys had that in their minds.
The Knights did their coach even better,
winning by ve, 10-5.
Never has there been a bigger dichotomy
of co-champions. As the Knights sent
Hodzic into the pool the customary cel-
ebration for all water polo champions
the Mills team waited, dejected, to go
through the post-match handshake.
Hillsdale (13-1 PAL Ocean) jumped out to
a quick 2-0 lead and never trailed the rest of
the way. Mills (13-1) tied the match at 2
with 2:46 left to play in the rst period, but
had to play catch-up the rest of the way as
the Knights responded by scoring four
unanswered goals to take a 6-2 lead at half-
time.

Terra Nova is a win away from punching
its ticket to the Central Coast Section play-
offs for the rst time in four years.
The Tigers (12-1 Ocean Division, 19-2
overall) kept their perfect second-half
record in tact yesterday by downing El
Camino (2-11, 4-12) in four sets 25-23,
25-15, 15-25, 25-20.
With one game remaining in the regular
season, Terra Nova is tied atop the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
with Sequoia. If, after Thursdays season
nale, the two teams nish tied for the top
spot, they will share a co-championship.
However, Terra Nova would receive the
Ocean Divisions one guaranteed automatic
CCS bid by virtue of heads-up set play. Terra
Nova has taken four sets from its fellow
division front-runner this season, having
dropped a Sept. 24 matchup 3-1, before
sweeping the Cherokees 3-0 Oct. 17.
Terra Nova isnt taking its good standing
for granted. Assistant coach Kari Trainor
knows anything can happen in Thursdays
season nale at Half Moon Bay, especially
since the Tigers will go into the contest
without sophomore libero Katie McKay.
McKay sprained her ankle in practice last
week. The Tigers are hoping she will be
ready to take the court next week for the
CCS opener Nov. 13.
Shes out for Thursdays game, Trainor
said. Obviously, we hope to have her back,
because its single-elimination if we make
it to CCS. Shes an important dynamic for
us.
McKays replacement, sophomore
Kristiana Wolf-Blake, put forth a strong all-
around effort yesterday. She got off to an
ambitious start, tabbing four kills in the
opening set. However, she soon backed off
to leave the kill shots to Terra Novas heavy
hitters, and quickly dialed it in on defense.

In his rst year as head coach of the
Caada mens basketball team, Mike
Reynoso is trying to accomplish some-
thing very tricky especially at the com-
munity college level.
Ayear after nishing with a No. 6 ranking
in the state with a 20-6 record, the Colts
went in the complete opposite direction last
season, winning only ve games and drop-
ping 18 (11 of those in
Coast Conference play).
So, at a level of basket-
ball that is all about con-
stant change, the Colts
hired who theyre hoping
will be the programs
constant for years to
come. And with in mind,
Reynoso has gone to
work trying his hand at
changing a culture in a program that is hop-
ing last seasons dip was just a ash in the
pan.
I would say the new culture. Just bringing
back toughness to Caada. Bringing back a
tough, blue-collar team. Thats what has me
excited, Reynoso said. Were not going to
be an overly talented team. Were going to
have to be a team that battles night in and
night out. Were going to have to put on our
work clothes and go to work. Im excited
that the culture is changing and the guys are
starting to understand the work that its
going to take to be successful.
That change starts with almost a complete
overhaul of the roster. Caadas roster has
three sophomores. The rest are true or red-
shirt freshman in need of JC basketball sea-
soning.
We needed to get guys that were going to
work, who were going to understand the hard

Word around the College of San Mateo foot-
ball locker room is that the page has been
turned.
And without a doubt, its the most disap-
pointing and disheartening page of the 2013
season so far.
The Bulldogs did almost everything right in
an absolute battle with No. 1 Butte College in
Oroville last Saturday. Offensively, they
racked up 400 yards of offense against the sta-
tistically best defense in the NorCal
Conference. Defensively, a team coming in
averaging over 350 yards of rushing on the
ground didnt hit 100 (if you subtract a couple
of quarterback scrambles).
But, key turnovers and a big kickoff return
for a touchdown in the second half gave CSM
its rst loss of the season 28-20 this after
the Bulldogs were twice thwarted near the goal
line in the fourth quarter, the latter of which
came on the nal play of the game.
They played a great game, said Tim
Tulloch, CSM assistant head coach and defen-
sive coordinator. They fought all the way
down to the nal snap. After the game, they
carried themselves with class. They picked
their heads up, they shook hands, tipped their
hats to a very good Butte team. There is no
regret with those guys. Those guys left it all
out on the eld. It was a slug fest. It was as
physical a football game as Ive been involved
with in a long, long time. Its what you coach
in this conference for. Its what you coach in
this league for. Its for games like that. Im
very, very proud of our guys.
What I love about what we did in that game
was, a couple of things. They jumped out on us
and we fought back, on the road. You wish you
could have the kick return back. That a big
one, because they didnt score on our defense
in the second half. We shut them out in the sec-
ond half. They scored on a trick play. Some of
those things, you wish you could have back.
All and all, the guys executed.
That said, it seems unproductive to dissect
CSMs loss and take a page from their book.
And in a lot of ways, if youre the Bulldogs,
you have to put that loss in the rearview mirror
and move on since the toughness of the
NorCal schedule requires that.
Theyre more pissed off than anything,
Tulloch said. We talked about how in 2009,
the same thing happened we lost a confer-
ence game and those guys went on a run, that
team went on a run. They were pissed off and
won every game in conference there on out. We
ended in a three-way tiebreaker ... and we went
on and advanced. Those guys know theres def-
initely a potential it can go down there. Our
guys know whats in front of us and where we
are. Theyre going to be prepared on Saturday.
Saturday is a matchup against De Anza,
which is among the most pass-happy teams in
the NorCal conference. But the Dons are com-
ing off a 35-31 loss to Santa Rosa. The Bear
Cubs outscored the Dons 21-0 in the fourth
quarter to win that game. But despite its 3-5
record, De Anza isnt a team CSM is taking
lightly especially since it was the Dons
who beat the Bulldogs in overtime last year.
There is no question those guys remem-
ber it and they remember it well, Tulloch said.
We all do. That one was a tough one just
because the best player on the eld was their
quarterback and he did a great job and they gave
us all kinds of problems. So, there isnt
going to be a lack of motivation.
The Dons are led by quarterback Jack
Singler, whos passed for 2,214 yards and 25
touchdowns this year. What makes Singler
dangerous though, is perhaps the most danger-
ous wide receiver tandem in the state. Bryan
Fobbs and Tyler Lucas are responsible for 130
of Singlers 180 completions and over
1,700 of his yards.
They have a lot of weapons on offense,
Tulloch said. They have probably the best
receiver in the conference (Fobbs). They have
another receiver from Penn State. Theyre
going to throw it around. Theyre going to go
ve-wide. Theyre going to run a bunch of per-
sonnel groups. Theyre going to shift and do a
lot of things to try and stretch you.
Defensively, theyre going to pressure and
blitz you. Weve denitely have our eyes on De
Anza. The page has been turned. It was turned
on Monday. And, were going to have those
guys ready to go play.
Kick off for Saturdays clash between CSM
and De Anza is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the
College of San Mateo.

For the second year in a row, San
Mateo golfer Aman Sangha qualied
for the state golf tournament, follow-
ing a fourth-place nish at the
Northern California tournament
Monday at Spring Creek Country
Club in Ripon.
Sangha shot a 4-over 77 to nish
in a two-way tie for fourth place with
Vista del Lagos Emilee Hoffman.
The state championship tourna-
ment will be held at Quail Run Golf
Club in Carmel Nov. 20.
Sangha, a sophomore who won her
second consecutive Peninsula
Athletic League championship and
nished fth at the Central Coast
Section tournament, had an up-and-
down day at Quail Run. She was 1-
under after nine holes, but struggled
on the back nine, with four bogeys
and a double bogey against just one
birdie.
She bogeyed the par-4 second hole,
but had birdies on the par-3 seventh
and par-5 ninth. She followed that
with a pair of pars on holes 10 and 11,
but fell back to even with a bogey on
the par-3 12th. She bounced right
back and got back to 1-under with a
birdie on the par-5 13th, but quickly
gave that shot back with a bogey on
the par-4 14th.
Following a par on the 15th, she
closed her round with a pair of bogeys
and her double bogey on the 18th
hole.
Palo Altos Michelle Xie captured
the Nor Cal crown by shooting an
even-par 73.
Sangha struggled at the state tour-
nament last year, shooting a 91.

STANFORD Oregon coach
Mark Helfrich and Stanfords
David Shaw shared some laughs
when they met for the rst time
this offseason during an annual
Pac-12 Conference meeting.
Although they had never talked
before, the similar circumstances
that brought them together made
them feel like they had known
each other for years. Both had
been promoted from offensive
coordinator to replace popular
predecessors, Chip Kelly and Jim
Harbaugh, after each moved on to
NFL jobs.
You take over and everybody
says, Who? Shaw said. But at
the same time, both of us are
coaching lifers that dont care
about what our name means or try-
ing to take the limelight. Its just
about being smart football coach-
es and recruiting great players and
keeping great coaches and giving
them a chance to do what they do.
Nobody is questioning either
coachs credentials this week.
Helfrich has No. 2 Oregon (8-0,
5-0) undefeated heading into
T h u r s d a y
n i g h t s
matchup at
s i x t h - r a n k e d
Stanford (7-1,
5-1) in what has
once again
shaped up as the
Pac-12s game
of the year. All
Shaw has done
is go 30-5 since taking over in
2011, leading the Cardinal to a
conference championship and the
programs rst Rose Bowl victory
in 41 years last season.
Both coaches are quick to credit
the other for sticking with what
worked already and not making
any major changes, even if it
means not getting the same recog-
nition as their predecessors.
Shaw stayed with the power run-
ning game and physical defense
that Harbaugh built before leaving
for the San Francisco 49ers after
the 2010 season. And while Kelly
is with the Philadelphia Eagles
now, Oregons up-tempo offense
and aggressive approach faking
punts, not punting on fourth down
and going for two-point conver-
sions are still staples in
Helfrichs rst season.
It was very similar in terms of
what theyve done and what weve
done has been really good and how
can we do it a little bit better,
Helfrich said. Not, How can I
come and change this so everyone
thinks its my idea? As soon as
you start doing that, you lose
focus. The biggest thing in all of
this is what your players believe
in, what they can perform the
best, how your program can con-
tinue to ascend because of what
they do. I think we have a very
similar approach in that way.
Both coaches saw no reason to
overhaul their programs. They
inherited championship con-
tenders led by Heisman Trophy
favorites Marcus Mariota at
Oregon, and Andrew Luck at
Stanford in their rst season,
which brought the added pressure
of keeping pace on the national
stage.
Some changes still had to be
made. Shortly after Shaw opened
his first spring practice, he
noticed some defensive players
were not quite as comfortable with
him yet, a few maybe even unsure
of his abilities.

SAN JOSE Cory Hodgson
scored in the fourth round of the
shootout and Ryan Miller made 47
saves for the Buffalo Sabres, who
overcame a pair of blown third-peri-
od leads to get their third win in 17
games this season, 5-4 over the San
Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.
Henrik Tallinder, Cody
McCormick, Drew Stafford and
Tyler Ennis also scored for the
Sabres, who have beaten the Sharks
ve straight times.
Tyler Kennedy and Tomas Hertl
scored 70 seconds apart early in
the third to erase a two-goal
deficit for the Sharks. Tommy
Wingels got another equalizer
late in the third, but San Jose still
lost its third straight game.
Marty Havlat also scored and
Antti Niemi made 32 saves.
Matt Moulson and Logan Couture
each scored in the rst round of the
shootout, and then Miller stopped
three straight shots before Hodgson
beat Niemi for the winner.
The third period was lled with
excitement with the teams combin-
ing for ve goals starting when
Ennis scored Buffalos second road
power-play goal of the season to
make it 3-2.
But the Sharks erased that lead in
a ash.
The rst goal came when Joe
Pavelski won a faceoff to Marc-
Edouard Vlasic, whose shot deect-
ed toward Kennedy, who knocked it
in for his second goal of the season
3:19 into the period.
Then just over a minute later,
Hertl took a rebound of Scott
Hannans shot and skated around
the net for a wraparound goal that
was his ninth of the season.
The Sabres appeared on their way
to a rare win when Tallinder scored
midway through the third and then
they had a two-man advantage later
in the period. But Jamie McBain hit
the post during the 5-on-3, and the
Sharks tied it late in the period
shortly after a penalty to Marcus
Foligno ended.
Wingels dove into the crease to
knock in the loose puck to tie the
game and excite the sellout crowd.
What appeared to be a decided
mismatch on paper between a
Buffalo team that had one regula-
tion win all season, and a San Jose
team with just one regulation loss
was anything but on ice. The Sabres
overcame an early decit and scored
twice in the second period to take a
2-1 lead heading into the third.

ness and capacity to meet their
fnancial obligations (mainly future
tax and hazard insurance) under
the terms of the loan.
If you have a question about
qualifying for a reverse mortgage
today, or how the fnancial assess-
ment will impact your situation,

borrow against the equity in their
home, without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mort-
gage payment. The money received
can be used for any purpose. The
loan amount depends on the
borrowers age, current interest
rates, and the value of the home. A
reverse mortgage does not have to
be repaid until the borrower sells or
moves out of the home perma-
nently, and the repayment amount
cannot exceed the value of the
home. After the loan is repaid, any
remaining equity is distributed to
the borrower or the borrowers
estate.
Borrower must maintain prop-

work that is needed and really dedicated guys
make sure guys are competitors.
Reynoso said. I want competitors.
Talented guys, those come and go. But in
the long run, whats going to win you
games, especially at our level, is if you
have competitors. And you can always
develop players. But you cant teach nor
should you spend time teaching in college
effort, hustle and hard work. And that I
think is the main thing. Pushing yourself to
the limit is basically the type of guy we
need to get.
By the sound of things, Caada might
have a couple of those players on its roster
now. While Peninsula Athletic League fans
will be familiar with a couple of names
already, Reynoso pointed to the likes of
Nick Martz (Mills) and Jason Garcia as key
role players who might assume leadership
positions on this young team.
Reynoso said the team has four or ve
guys capable of double-gure scoring and
mentioned Marquis Glenn, one of his few
returning sophomores, as a key component
to the Caada offense.
I actually like it because there are four or
ve guys who are capable of scoring 11 a
night, or 13 a night, Reynoso said.
Nobody is going to come out and give us
20 a night. So, in that respect, its nice
because were never going to miss a guy if
he doesnt play that much a certain night.
That helps us be a fully capable team as a
unit and not a team that relies on one guy.
It then appears that the key to a winning
season for the Colts will be their commit-
ment to defense.
We cant rely on our offense on a night
in, night out basis just because we dont
have flat-out scorers, Reynoso said. I
dont think a lot of the teams commit to
defense because the game is changing offen-
sively. Im fully to the point where you need
to have a tough, gritty defense to really win
the tough battles.
The Colts begin their season Thursday
when they face Sacramento City College at
the Jonathan Wallace Memorial Tournament
in Fremont. Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Caadas rst home game is 5 p.m. Nov.
12 against Monterey Peninsula College.

Terra Novas heavy-hitting junior tandem
of Ali Vidali and Anna Listmann soldiered
through a disjointed team effort. Vidali
tabbed a match-high 19 kills, while
Listmann totaled 17 kills. The two were
actually dead even in the kills department
after three sets, until Vidali emerged with
seven kills in the decisive Game 4.
Ali is always strong and aggressive,
Trainor said. Shes our go-to girl.
Terra Nova seemed to be on cruise control
in Game 1, but let a 21-16 lead slip away
after El Camino senior Caitlyn Ladigan
stepped to the service line. Ladigan went on
a ve-point service run, giving her Colts
the lead with back-to-back aces. Listmann
staved off an upset by retying the match at
22-22 with a clutch kill, before Terra Nova
won the seesaw race to 25.
The Tigers committed 10 of their 34
match errors in Game 1.
[El Camino was] kind of scrappy and
sent the ball back, and let us make the mis-
takes Trainor said.
Vidali showed off her serving prowess in
Game 2, going on a ve-point run, includ-
ing three consecutive aces, to give Terra
Nova an insurmountable lead.
In Game 3, El Camino answered back
when senior Geli Maurille got cooking. The
fourth-year varsity senior tallied ve of her
13 match kills in the set, and proved once
again to be one of the hardest hitters in the
Ocean Division this season.
El Camino head coach Brittany Formalejo
said it has been fun watching Maurille earn
the respect of opposing teams because of
the sheer velocity with which she hits.
Shes a great player, Formalejo said.
Shes one of my captains, she has great
heart, and she denitely loves the game.
Every game we go into, the other team gets
into this shock-face, like: Who is this
girl?
At 5-foot-3, Maurille is an unconvention-
al hitter. But she has stepped up to do what-
ever has been asked of her to help her strug-
gling team. According to Formalejo, her
star senior does a little bit of everything.
Thats a stark contrast from her role with her
club team, the Frisco Bay, where Maurille is
strictly a libero.
Having won jut four games this season, El
Camino looked at it as a moral victory to
take one set from Terra Nova.
Theyre a decent team, Formalejo said.
I didnt even go into this thinking wed
win a set. So, Im glad to see my girls play
so well against them.
Terra Nova last advanced to CCS play in
2009. The Tigers have not won a CCS match
since 1983, when they captured the Div. II
crown with a win in the championship
round over Salinas.

At Sterling Court, were
proud of what we offer.
friends, organization, teammates and every-
thing. And it really says a lot that people
care about me outside the eld and they care
about me as a person.
Smith had been on an indenite paid leave
of absence before being activated to the 53-
man roster Thursday, two days after he
turned himself in to Santa Clara County
authorities on weapons charges. He met last
Wednesday with team ofcials.
The fearsome pass-rusher is in shape
despite a couple of extra pounds gained dur-
ing his stint at an in-patient treatment cen-
ter for substance abuse. He was at a facility
outside California, he said, while declining
to offer further details. He said he returned to
the Bay Area on Oct. 28 after entering rehab
in late September and he was away for his
24th birthday Sept. 25.
Defensive teammate and fellow line-
backer Patrick Willis is among those who
sent periodic text messages to Smith during
his time away.
Aldon has been a guy since he came in
who has been very productive for our
defense, has been a playmaker for our
defense, Willis said. To get him back is a
good thing, then, too, with his absence we
were able to develop some depth with some
of the other guys. Its really going to be a
strong point for us. When you have a guy
such as Aldon with his talent, the biggest
thing we can do for him is just let him know
were here for him, let him know that were
his teammates, but the main thing is just let
him grow on his own.
Smith played in a 27-7 home loss to the
Colts on Sept. 22 and had ve tackles just
two days after he was arrested and jailed on
suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession.
He apologized for his behavior after the
game then later announced he would leave
for treatment.
San Francisco (6-2) has won ve straight
games in impressive fashion without him.
Also in September, Smith and former
teammate Delanie Walker were named in a
lawsuit led in Santa Clara County Superior
Court by a Northern California man who
said he was shot at a party at Smiths house
on June 29, 2012.
Smith, selected seventh overall in the
2011 draft out of Missouri, had previously
been arrested on suspicion of DUI in
January 2012 in Miami shortly after the
49ers lost in the NFC championship game.
Now, Smith is moving forward. Hes
thrilled to be reunited with not only his
team but also his 10-month-old son, Aulis.
He looks good, man, running back
Frank Gore said. Im a big fan of Aldon, a
young guy who has the potential to be one
of the best at the position. Im happy hes
back with the family. I know he can help our
team, so thats great.
While Smith is scheduled for court appear-
ances each of the next two Tuesdays, he
expects to be in practice.
Smith was charged Oct. 9 with three
felony counts of illegal possession of an
assault weapon, stemming from that party
at his home in June 2012.
Of course, I didnt want to be away from
the sport I love. But it was good for me to
get away and get my mind together and
work, like I say, just to get to the positive
spot I need to be at, he said. I caught some
of the games, some that were broadcast over
there. So I was able to keep up with the guys
and chime in here and there and wish them
good luck.

Always Welcome!
The Vikings outscored the Knights 2-1 in
the third period, but the Knights closed out
the match by scoring three times in the
fourth period.
Tuesdays match would have meant noth-
ing, however, if not for Hillsdales win over
Half Moon Bay last Thursday. The Cougars,
in third place in the Ocean, gave the
Knights everything they could handle
before Hillsdale pulled out a 13-11, double-
overtime win.
We knew the game at Half Moon Bay was
going to be huge, Hodzic said. My guys
have been on edge. Theyve been playing
championship ball for the last couple
days.
That edge helped the Knights weather an
early Mills man-advantage, during which
the Vikings came up empty a preview of
things to come for Mills, which went 0 for
9 on the power play.
About 30 seconds later, the Knights went
a man up and made the Vikings pay as
Thomas Durant took a cross-pool pass from
Curtis Cassin and buried his shot to give
Hillsdale a 1-0 lead.
The Knights made it 2-0 just over 40 sec-
onds later when Thomas Mirt came up with a
steal near midpool and fed a driving Cassin,
who red home a shot in from the wing.
Mills got on the board less than 20 sec-
onds later when Cliff Shaw powered a shot
past Hillsdale goalie Tony Pappas, who got
a hand on the shot, but couldnt stop it. The
Vikings tied the score at 2 a minute and half
later on a goal from Jacob Ng, off an assist
from Daniel Yu.
With less than a minute to play in the
opening period, the Knights took the lead
for good when Kevin Hoffert scored the rst
of his ve goals, off an assist from Javier
Rosas. Hoffert got his shot off moments
before the shot clock expired, giving
Hillsdale a 3-2 lead after one period.
[Hoffert] stepped up, Hodzic said.
The Knights then scored all three of the
second periods goals one from Rosas
and a pair from Hoffert. Pappas assisted on
two goals and Rosas had the assist on the
other.
Mills tried to make a move in the third
period. The Vikings closed to 6-3 on a goal
from Zane Girouard, but Rosas pushed the
Knights lead back to four on a breakaway
goal. Ngs second goal of the game with
under 30 seconds to play pulled the Vikings
to 7-4 going into the nal seven minutes.
The Knights nished with a ourish, how-
ever. Hoffert scored twice in the nal period
and Erik Rudberg converted a 5-meter penal-
ty shot for Hillsdales nal goal.
Ng completed his hat trick for the
Knights in the final seconds before the
Knights started their celebration.
Hodzic was willing to let anyone but
Mills Grant Peel score, who is regarded as
the best player in the Ocean Division. The
Knights geared their defense around Peel and
limited him to only a handful of shots for
the entire match.
They have the best player in the league
and we planned for him, Hodzic said.
[Peels] an outstanding outside shooter.
Which worked perfectly into Hillsdales
hands in the presence of Pappas, who is the
best goalie in the Ocean Division and
whose forte is stopping the outside shot.
Anything outside of ve meters, I dont
even worry about. Thats a stop for us,
Hodzic said. [Pappas] had one of his best
games today.
Pappas nished with 14 saves, including
six in the fourth period.
Defensively, the guys executed, Hodzic
said. They wanted it.

ASHBURN, Va. Eleven seasons
into his football career, Washington
Redskins linebacker Nick Barnett
gures he has a pretty good sense of
the sort of teasing and hazing and
horsing around that happens in the
typical NFLlocker room, especially
when it comes to rookies.
Theyre stuck with $5,000 dinner
tabs. Theyre told to tote the helmets
or pads of older players. Theyre held
down and given unwanted haircuts or
get their eyebrows shaved.
What hes never heard of, Barnett
said Tuesday, is the kind of accusa-
tions of out-and-out bullying and
harassment at the heart of why sec-
ond-year offensive tackle Jonathan
Martin suddenly left the Miami
Dolphins a week ago because of
emotional distress, and why his line-
mate, Richie Incognito, was sus-
pended indenitely by the team.
You have different people, differ-
ent personalities, different cultures
in here, and its not going to be the
same as in an accountants ofce or
Wall Street. Same as our armed
forces, Barnett said, standing at his
locker after Washingtons practice.
But every social setting has its
standards, and when (you) cross
those standards ... especially with a
guy who is 6-something-foot tall,
300 pounds ... not coming to prac-
tice because he feels bullied or what-
ever the case is, now we have an
issue.
While some players said they g-
ure the NFL to make clear certain
kinds of locker-room behavior
wont be tolerated, Commissioner
Roger Goodell has so far been silent
on the matter; a spokesman said the
league is currently engaged in a
thorough review of the situation.
The players union issued a state-
ment Tuesday saying it expects the
NFL and teams to create a safe and
professional workplace for all play-
ers.
The curtains do get pulled back on
this sort of thing in the NFLevery so
often and, as with most bits of news
connected to the countrys most
popular sports league, they garner
quite a bit of attention.
During training camp last year,
New York Giants cornerback Prince
Amukamara was tossed into a tub of
ice water by defensive lineman Jason
Pierre-Paul. Amukamara had missed
most of training camp with an injury
a year earlier as a rookie, so perhaps
this was a chance to make up for lost
time; a teammate let the world in on
the episode with a tweet.
What I went through wasnt bul-
lying at all. It was just more of fun in
the locker room. Of course,
nobodys going to be happy being
thrown into a cold tub of water, but
... things can get out of hand some-
times, Amukamara said this week.
Like several other players around
the NFL, Amukamara latched onto
two particular elements of the Miami
situation that moved past normal fun
ngames: Anything thats racial or
threatening, I think thats in the def-
inition of bullying, he said.
Some veterans, such as Minnesota
Vikings defensive end Jared Allen,
consider such happenings a rite of
passage they hope wont disappear
entirely within reason.
Some of the younger guys come
in and theres a sense of entitlement,
and you lose that work ethic, you
lose that true veteran-led locker
room sometimes, said Allen, who
said hes seen teammates fork over
$50,000 or more. You got to know
who youre dealing with. You cant
treat everyone the same. You cant
treat every rookie the same.
Some guys are more sensitive
than others.
And there are those who take the
whole pecking-order system rather
seriously.
In our locker room, its simple:
Do what we say and you wont get
hazed, Giants cornerback Terrell
Thomas said. If you dont, you get
thrown in the cold tub or your shirt
gets cut up.
Several players said they think
its up to players to prevent the
behavior that goes beyond good-
natured ribbing.
That, they say, was the failure in
Miami.
Who was the leaders on that
team? Redskins linebacker London
Fletcher said. I know Jonathan
Martin didnt feel comfortable
enough to go to any of the guys,
because either youre encouraging it
or youre just turning a blind eye and
allowing the guy to get treated like
he was getting treated. And thats the
biggest thing that disappointed me.
... There was not a veteran guy
strong enough to stop what was hap-
pening.
The irony, of course, is that
Incognito was one of the oldest
members of the Dolphins only
one player on the Week 1 roster had
been in the league longer and was
voted to one of six spots on the
teams leadership council.
How do you police it if you have
your most-esteemed vets doing it?
Washingtons Barnett said. Other
vets have to have the responsibility
and step up.
One factor at play in Miami: There
is something of a veteran leadership
vacuum on the young Dolphins, per-
haps in part because the best player,
defensive end Cameron Wake, gener-
ally is a laid-back guy who is not
inclined to assert himself.
The locker room has been ne, as
far as Im concerned, Wake said
Monday, when details of the Martin-
Incognito case emerged. I cant
speak for anybody else.
While no one on the Dolphins was
critical of Martin, the Miami players
who talked to the media on Monday
were far more vocal in defense of
Incognito than on behalf of Martin.
Dolphins rookie cornerback Will
Davis said about Incognito: Hes a
funny guy. Everybody loves him.
Among the many missing details
is what and when Dolphins
coach Joe Philbin knew about the
Martin-Incognito relationship,
because he did not intervene. Philbin
says he was unaware until last week-
end, when a representative of
Martins complained to the team.

SACRAMENTO Californias insurance
commissioner announced an agreement
Tuesday with one of the states major health
insurance companies to delay the cancella-
tion of more than 115,000 individual poli-
cies under the new federal health care law.
The agreement with Commissioner Dave
Jones will let policyholders keep their
lower-priced policies through the rst three
months of 2014.
Blue Shield of California Life and Health
Insurance Co. planned to cancel individual
and family health insurance policies on
Dec. 31. Jones objected that the company
gave policy holders just 90 days notice
when it should have given six months
notice.
The agreement requires Blue Shield to send
new notices to its customers starting
Wednesday, letting them know they can
keep their individual policies if they wish,
at the existing price and with the existing
medical provider network.
Deal delays cancellations
for state insurance policies
By David Espo
WASHINGTON Under growing pres-
sure, the administration refused repeatedly to
state a position Tuesday on legislation for-
malizing President Barack Obamas oft-stat-
ed promise that people who like their exist-
ing coverage should be allowed to keep it
under the new health care law.
Senate Democrats spoke dismissively of
the proposals, signaling they have no
intention of permitting a vote on the issue
that marks the latest challenge confronting
supporters of Obamacare.
An earlier controversy appeared to be
ebbing on a law that has generated more than
its share of them. Even so, one strong sup-
porter of the health care law, Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse, D-R. I., good-naturedly told an
administration ofcial, Good luck getting
through this mess.
Whitehouse spoke to Marilyn Tavenner,
the head of the agency deeply involved in
implementing the law. She had assured law-
makers that initial aws with the govern-
ments website were systematically yielding
to around-the-clock repair effort.
Users can now successfully create an
account and continue through the full appli-
cation and enrollment process, said
Tavenner, head of the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services. We are now able to
process nearly 17,000 registrants per hour,
or 5 per second, with almost no errors.
She encouraged consumers to log onto the
site and check it out, and said the administra-
tion had estimated that enrollments will
total 800,000 by the end of November.
At the same time, she repeatedly refused to
tell inquiring Republicans how many enroll-
ments have taken place to date, saying that
information would be made available at mid-
month.
Across the Capitol, that reluctance drew a
subpoena from Rep. Dave Camp, the
Michigan Republican who chairs the House
Ways and Means Committee. He said the
material was critical government informa-
tion that the administration has refused to
provide voluntarily, and demanded that it be
turned over by Friday. In response, a CMS
spokeswoman, Tasha Bradley, said: We
have received the subpoena and are commit-
ted to working with the committee to accom-
modate their interest in this issue. She did
not explicitly pledge compliance.
In her testimony, Tavenner also sought to
reassure lawmakers who expressed concerns
about cybersecurity at www.healthcare.gov.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., cited the case of a
Columbia, S.C. attorney, who used the web-
site to look for coverage, only to learn later
that some of his personal information had
been made available to a different browser, a
man in North Carolina.
Has this happened before? Scott asked.
Can you guarantee that Social Security
numbers ... are secure? Will you shut down
the website, as my friends from the left have
already suggested, until security issues are
xed?
White House sidesteps onObamacare change

registrants per hour, or 5 per second, with almost no errors.

U.S. home prices rise
at slower pace in September
WASHINGTON Ameasure of U.S. home
prices rose only slightly in September from
August, a sign that prices are leveling off
after big gains earlier this year.
Real estate provider CoreLogic said
Tuesday that home prices increased 0.2 per-
cent in September from the previous month.
Thats sharply lower than the 0.9 percent
month-over-month gain in August and well
below the 1.8 percent increase in July.
Prices still rose 12 percent in September
compared with a year ago.
Higher mortgage rates and steady price
increases began to slow home sales in
September. As a result, price gains have
cooled off.
Mortgage rates are still very low. And the
average rate on a 30-year xed loan has fall-
en to 4.1 percent in the past month, down
from a two-year high of nearly 4.6 percent
over the summer. This deceleration is natu-
ral and should help keep market fundamentals
in balance over the longer-term, said Anand
Nallathambi, president and CEO of
CoreLogic.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon is
preparing top-to-bottom changes,
including a push to limit the growth of
military pay, as it adjusts to steep
budget cuts and the winding down of
war in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel said Tuesday.
In a speech on U.S. defense priori-
ties, Hagel said that as the Obama
administration preserves the militarys
strength it will make it a less promi-
nent tool of foreign policy. Thats not
a new goal but one Hagel said is more
achievable now that the U.S. is ending
more than a decade of foreign conict
and the public is weary of war.
He sketched a future focused on
investments in space and cyber tech-
nologies, missile defense and a strate-
gy that assumes the world will not
soon resolve challenges posed by ter-
rorism and heavily armed states like
North Korea.
He advocated a more humble U.S.
approach to foreign policy.
We must also make a far better effort
to understand how the world sees us,
and why, he said. We must listen
more. Cautioning against national
arrogance, the former Republican sena-
tor from Nebraska and Vietnam combat
veteran said the insidious disease of
hubris can undo Americas great
strengths. We also must not fall prey to
hubris, nor to the idea of American
decline.
Hagel said that since he took ofce in
February he has been intent on nding
ways to adapt the nations defense pri-
orities to the realities created by a ran-
corous budget debate in Washington
that has undermined the Pentagons
ability to plan ahead. He warned of the
impasses dangers, including the
prospect of nearly $500 billion in
defense cuts over 10 years as a result of
the forced budget reductions known as
sequestration. And he noted that this
would be in addition to $487 billion in
cuts already in motion.
These cuts are too fast, too abrupt
and too irresponsible, he said at a
public forum on national security at the
Center for Strategic and International
Studies, a centrist think tank. He cited
a danger that the budget crisis will
cause an unnecessary, strategically
unsound and dangerous degradation in
military readiness and capability.
But he also said Pentagon leaders are
not assuming the governments budget
crisis will be resolved soon.
One possible consequence of contin-
ued impasse, he said, is that a larger
part of the military will lose its combat
edge. As a result, it may be inevitable
that some forces will be less prepared
to act and that, he said, would mean
that in a crisis the president would have
fewer options for protecting the
nations security interests.

Gay rights bill moves forward
as opposition remains silent
By Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON Invoking the Declaration of
Independence, proponents of a bill that would outlaw discrim-
ination against gays in the workplace argued on Tuesday that
the measure is rooted in fundamental fairness for all
Americans.
Republican opponents of the measure were largely silent,
neither addressing the issue on the second day of Senate debate
nor commenting unless asked. Written statements from some
rendered their judgment that the bill would result in costly,
frivolous lawsuits and mandate federal law based on sexuality.
The Senate moved closer to completing its work on the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would prohibit
workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgen-
der Americans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. ,
said a nal vote in the Senate is possible by weeks end.
Senate passage of the bill would represent a major victory
for advocates of gay rights just months after the Supreme
Court afrmed gay marriage and granted federal benets to
legally married same-sex couples and three years after
Congress ended the ban on gays serving openly in the mili-
tary.
Illinois was poised to become the 15th state to legalize gay
marriage after the states Legislature gave its nal approval
Tuesday, sending it to the governor, who has said hell sign it.
I dont believe in discriminating against anybody, said
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a backer of the measure who voted
against a similar, narrower bill 17 years ago. Hatch said the
bill has language ensuring religious freedom that he expects
the Senate to toughen.

NEWYORK What has two all-beef pat-
ties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles
and onions on a sesame bun? Burger Kings
latest sandwich.
The Miami-based chain says its bring-
ing back its Big King sandwich, which
looks a lot like the popular Big Mac made
by its bigger rival McDonalds. Burger
King says its an addition to the permanent
menu rolling out this week.
Burger King says it previously offered
the Big King as a limited-time offer. But
back then, it didnt have the middle bun
a Big Mac hallmark like it does now.
Its just the latest move by Burger King
that seems to pay more than a little hom-
age to the Golden Arches. Last spring,
Burger King also unveiled a revamped menu
that looked a lot like the food McDonalds
had added in recent years, such as fruit
shakes, chicken snack wraps and specialty
coffee drinks.
Since then, Burger King has also rolled
out a rib sandwich to compete with the
popular McRib, as well as chicken nuggets
(Burger King is better known for its chick-
en tenders). As the New York Post wrote at
the time, They look like McNuggets.
Theyre as nutritious as McNuggets. Just
dont call them McNuggets.
What does McDonalds think of all this?
Were focused on our business and our cus-
tomers, spokeswoman Lisa McComb said
in an email.
Scott Hume, editor of
BurgerBusiness.com, notes that imitation
is common in the fast-food industry.
McDonalds clones make sense if
theyre popular in the marketplace, Hume
said. He noted that Burger King has also
rolled out more differentiated products,
such as a pulled pork sandwich.
The changes arent yet making a big
splash with customers. In the latest quarter,
Burger King said sales slipped 0.3 percent
at North American locations open at least a
year. McDonalds said the figure edged up
0.7 percent.
Burger King Worldwide Inc. has had
numerous owners over the years. 3G
Capital, an investment firm run by
Brazilian billionaires, bought the chain
and took it private in 2010. It took it pub-
lic again last year in a deal that allowed it
to earn back what it paid while still main-
taining a majority stake.
Since then, 3G has moved CEO Bernardo
Hees on to another assignment over in
Pittsburgh, where hes heading up H.J.
Heinz. 3G bought the ketchup maker with
Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway. In
Hees place, 3G installed another one its
principals, Daniel Schwartz, who was 32 at
the time.
As for the new Big King, Burger Kings
website lists it at 510 calories. The Big
Mac is listed at 550 calories.
Burger King also recently introduced
lower-calorie fries that it dubbed as
Satisfries. Notably, Burger King has
been touting the fries as having 30 percent
fewer calories than regular fries. But the
comparison is to McDonalds fries, not its
own fries.
Satisfries have 20 percent fewer calories
than Burger Kings own fries.
Burger King to bring back Big Mac copycat
Burger King says it previously offered the Big King as a limited-time offer. But back then, it
didnt have the middle bun a Big Mac hallmark like it does now.

CHICAGO With a culinary
style he likened to improvisation-
al jazz, Charlie Trotter changed
the way Americans view ne din-
ing, pushing himself, his staff,
his food and even his diners to
limits rarely seen in an American
restaurant. Yet it was his reluc-
tance to move beyond those limits
that may have defined the last
years of his life.
Trotter, 54, died Tuesday, a year
after closing his namesake
Chicago restaurant that was credit-
ed with putting his city at the van-
guard of the food world and train-
ing dozens of the nations top
chefs, including Grant Achatz and
Graham Elliot.
Paramedics were called around
10 a.m. to Trotters Lincoln Park
home, where they found him unre-
sponsive. An ambulance crew
transported Trotter to
Northwestern Memorial Hospital,
where he was declared dead after
unsuccessful attempts to revive
him, Chicago Fire Department
spokesman Larry Langford said.
An autopsy was planned for
Wednesday.
His wife, Rochelle Trotter, on
Tuesday expressed the familys
shock at his death and apprecia-
tion for the many tributes pouring
in from all quarters.
He was much loved and words
cannot describe how much he will
be missed, she said in a state-
ment. ... His impact upon
American Cuisine and the culinary
world at large will always be
remembered.
For decades, Trotters name was
synonymous with cutting-edge
cuisine. He earned 10 James Beard
Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and
in 1999 hosted his own public tel-
evision series, The Kitchen
Sessions with Charlie Trotter.
It was the beginning of the
notion that America could have a
real haute cuisine on par with
Europe, said Anthony Bourdain.
That was what Charlie did.
Yet Trotter never went to culi-
nary school. He grew up in the
northern Chicago suburb of
Wilmette and majored in political
science at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison. But an
inspiring meal several years earli-
er had planted the desire to cook.
After graduation, he created a de
facto apprenticeship, landing his
first job at a restaurant in
Chicagos North Shore area called
Sinclairs, where he worked under
now well-known chefs such as
Norman Van Aken and Carrie
Nahabedian.
From there Trotter moved to
restaurants in Florida, San
Francisco and France, all the while
eating widely and reading cook-
books voraciously. When he
returned to the U.S. and with
nancial backing from his family
he purchased a Victorian house
in Chicago and opened Charlie
Trotters in it in 1987.
His restaurant shaped the world
of food, said Dana Cowin, editor-
in-chief of Food & Wine maga-
zine. He was so innovative and
focused and intense and really bril-
liant. When he opened Charlie
Trotter he was so original.
Trotters food was grounded in
classical French technique, but
blended seamlessly with Asian
inuences. He believed fervently
in the power of simplicity and
clean cooking, turning to simple
vegetable purees and stocks
rather than heavy sauces to
deliver standup avor in menus
that changed daily.
He was a part of bringing in
unusual ingredients and really
scouring the world for ingredients
that you never tasted before, said
fellow Chicago restaurateur Rick
Bayless. He was really on that
forefront of creating the modern
tasting menu.
He also was an early advocate of
using seasonal and organic ingre-
dients, as well as sustainably
raised or caught meat and seafood.
Charlie was a visionary, an
unbelievable chef that brought
American cuisine to new heights,
Emeril Lagasse, a close friend of
Charlie Trotter redefined fine dining, dies at 54
Charlie Trotter died Tuesday, a year after closing his namesake Chicago
restaurant that was credited with putting his city at the vanguard of the
food world and training dozens of the nations top chefs.

This soup is a stick-to-your ribs exitari-
an special. Make it with chicken broth and
prosciutto and you end up with a carnivores
delight. Make it with vegetable stock and
no prosciutto and youve got a vegetarians
delight. Either way, its plenty hearty. The
potatoes give it body and creaminess. The
spinach and kale give it earthiness and a
bright green color.
The greens also happen to be nutritional
superstars both spinach and kale are ter-
ric sources of vitamins A, C and K, not to
mention ber. For folks who generally nd
kale a little too assertive, the time to eat it
is now, in the cooler months, when its taste
is milder. And given kales current it veg-
etable status, youll certainly have no trou-
ble nding it at the store. Some supermar-
kets even carry the bagged shredded leaves,
as convenient as pre-washed lettuce or
shredded slaw mix.
For the potatoes, I went with Yukon gold
because I like their buttery taste and because
they hold their shape when cooked, unlike
high-starch, thick-skinned baking pota-
toes. However, any potato will do as long as
you cut it into 1-inch chunks. If the only
spuds you have on hand are baking potatoes
(such as russets), just be sure to peel them
rst. Otherwise, the skin will be too chewy
in the soup.
A flexible, healthy soup
that packs porky flavor
For folks who generally nd kale a little too assertive, the time to eat it is now, in the cooler
months, when its taste is milder

San Mateo Times
Trotters, said in an email. We have lost a
tremendous human being and an incredible
chef and restaurateur.
Trotter was gruff, exacting, demanding
and a culinary genius. And for years, the
restaurant was considered one of the best in
the nation, earning two Michelin stars the
first year the guide rated Chicago restau-
rants.
He also was giving. He created a charita-
ble group that not only awarded culinary
scholarships, but also brought disadvan-
taged children to his restaurant every week
to teach them about fine dining.
But in time, the food world caught up
with him. And food culture changed, with
celebrity often trumping skill. It was a
world to which he adapted poorly.
The last few times I saw him were at a
food and wine festivals where people didnt
recognize him. People did not acknowl-
edge him for his incredibly important
place in history, said Bourdain. Back in
Charlies day, it was really the merit sys-
tem. Being a great chef was enough. You
didnt have to be lovable.
Meanwhile, chefs such as Achatz of
award-winning Chicago restaurants Alinea
and Next became so avant-garde,
Trotters menus seem almost dated. And the
very organic and seasonal philosophies
hed spearheaded had become common-
place.
In 2012 and in keeping with his repu-
tation for bold, unexpected moves
Trotter closed his iconic 120-seat restau-
rant. His plan? Return to college to study
philosophy.
The one thing it will do for me is let me
wipe a certain slate clean. And while Im
studying and reading and applying myself
to something else, if I decide to come back
to the restaurant world, I think Im going
to bring a different perspective, he told
The Associated Press in an interview last
year.
My hope is to really learn how to think
very differently on the whole thing, he
said.
Trotter was hospitalized in New York
City this summer after having a seizure,
close family friend and early Trotter men-
tor Van Aken said Tuesday. Van Aken said
he didnt know what caused the seizure.
Van Aken said it was a shame the public
rarely saw other sides of Trotters person-
ality the wit that drove him to share
video clips of W.C. Fields, his reenact-
ments of scenes from The Godfather, his
love of Miles Davis.
In a behind-the-scenes look for the AP
three days before closing night, the
Charlie Trotters staff held a typically
detail-laden pre-dinner meeting, dis-
cussing specifics down to the exact dates
when diners last ate at the restaurant and
reminders about when to use certain wine
glasses.
Dishes from the final week of menus
included poached white asparagus with
charred broccolini, manchego cheese and
red pepper essence and root beer leaf ice
cream with vanilla cremeaux and birch
syrup-infused meringue.
Some might have thought the move from
the restaurant world was too risky. Not
Trotter.
Whats the worst that could happen?
Lifes too short. You may be on this planet
for 80 years at best or who knows, but you
cant just pedal around and do the same
thing forever, he told the AP in 2012.
TROTTER
Theres very little fat in this recipe. The
vegetarian version uses just 2 tablespoons
of extra-virgin olive oil and half an ounce of
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Alittle bit of
that justly celebrated cheese goes a long
way. And carnivores can keep the fat con-
tent low by trimming off the prosciuttos
fat.
Whats that? The little Mario Batali devil
on your shoulder insists that the avor will
go bye-bye along with the fat? Not neces-
sarily. I was thrilled to discover that if you
briey bake the prosciutto on a rack in the
oven, it becomes downright bacon-esque
crisp, salty and redolent of pork. Just be
sure to pull the prosciutto out of the oven
before it is completely crisp. It will contin-
ue cooking even outside the oven. If it does-
nt reach the desired state within a minute or
two, slide it back into the oven and give it
another quick jolt.
Now youve got all the avor you or
your inner Mario could ask for. Just keep
an eye on the salt in the rest of the recipe.
Both the cheese and the meat are high in
sodium.
POTATO AND GREENS SOUP
WITH PARMESAN TOASTS
Start to nish: 1 hour (40 minutes active)
Servings: 4
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil,
divided
1 cup nely chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound Yukon gold (or other thin-
skinned potatoes), cut into 1-inch chunks
4 to 5 cups low-sodium chicken or veg-
etable broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups packed torn kale leaves
6 cups packed baby spinach leaves
1 teaspoon red pepper akes, or to taste
Salt
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
Twelve 1/2-inch-thick diagonally cut
slices of baguette
1/2 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-
Reggiano cheese
Heat the oven to 400 F.
In a large saucepan over medium, heat 1
tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and
cook, stirring occasionally, until softened,
about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook,
stirring for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, 4
cups of the stock and the wine. Bring to a
boil, cover the pan and simmer for 10 min-
utes.
Add the kale, cover the pan, then simmer
for another 10 minutes. Add the spinach and
the pepper akes, cover, and simmer for
another 5 minutes.
Working in 2 batches, transfer about 3
cups total of the soup solids with a little
added broth each time, to a blender and puree
until smooth. Be careful, hot foods expand
in the blender. Return the puree to the
saucepan, add salt to taste and the additional
cup of stock if necessary to achieve the
desired texture. Heat until hot.
Meanwhile, set a wire rack over a rimmed
baking sheet. Arrange the prosciutto slices
in a single layer on the rack, then bake on
the ovens middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes,
or until they begin to crisp. Remove the
rack from the sheet pan and set it on the
counter to let the prosciutto cool. When
cool, crumble the prosciutto.
Arrange the baguette slices in single layer
on the sheet pan and brush them with the
remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Bake
them on the ovens middle shelf until gold-
en brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the
grated cheese evenly over them, return the
slices to the oven and bake until the cheese
is just melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
To serve, ladle the soup into 4 bowls,
then top each portion with some of the pro-
sciutto crisps and 3 toasts on the side.

ATLANTA The federal government is
issuing its rst guidelines to schools on how
to protect children with food allergies.
The voluntary guidelines call on schools to
take such steps as restricting nuts, shellsh
or other foods that can cause allergic reac-
tions, and make sure emergency allergy med-
icine like EpiPens are available.
About 15 states and numerous individual
schools or school districts already have
policies of their own. The need is here for a
more comprehensive, standardized way for
schools to deal with this issue, said Dr.
Wayne Giles, who oversaw development of
the advice for the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Food allergies are a growing concern. A
recent CDC survey estimated that about 1 in
20 U.S. children have food allergies a 50
percent increase from the late 1990s. Experts
arent sure why cases are rising.
Many food allergies are mild and some-
thing children grow out of. But severe cases
may cause anaphylactic shock or even death
from eating, say, a peanut.
The guidelines released Wednesday were
required by a 2011 federal law.
Peanuts, tree nuts, milk and shellsh are
among the food that most often most trigger
reactions. But experts say more than 170
foods are known to cause reactions.
The new advice call for schools to do such
things as:
Identify children with food allergies.
Have a plan to prevent exposures and
manage any reactions.
Train teachers or others how to use medi-
cines like epinephrine injectors, or have
medical staff to do the job.
Plan parties or eld trips free of foods
that might cause a reaction; and designate
someone to carry epinephrine.
Make sure classroom activities are inclu-
sive.
For example, dont use Peanut M&Ms in a
counting lesson, said John Lehr, chief execu-
tive of an advocacy group that worked on the
guidelines, Food Allergy Research &
Education (FARE).
Carolyn Duff, president of the National
Association of School Nurses, which worked
on the guidelines, said many schools may
not have policies on food allergies.

Marty Medina, 47, came in third and said
the point of him running was to bring focus

Public Works inspector for the city.
I believe in giving people choice for the

its what the people want. The issue of rate
increases is still important; they dont have

most hard-fought races. Without presiden-
tial or congressional elections on the
books, voters were primarily hard-core par-
tisans. But to win, both gubernatorial vic-
tors sounded a tone of pragmatic bipartisan-
ship at a time of dysfunctional divided
government in Washington and, because
of that pitch, they managed to cobble
together a diverse cross-section of voters
from across the political spectrum.
In Virginia, McAuliffe eked out a smaller-
than-expected victory over conservative
Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Exit polls found
that Cuccinelli fared well among core right-
ank constituents tea partyers, gun own-
ers and rural voters. But the victor,
McAuliffe, held advantages among unmar-
ried women, voters who called abortion a
top issue and the vote-rich Washington sub-
urbs.
Over the next four years most Democrats
and Republicans want to make Virginia a
model of pragmatic leadership, said
McAuliffe, a Democrat taking the helm in a
state where Republicans control the
Legislature. This is only possible if
Virginia is the model for bipartisan cooper-
ation.
Democrats won the top two ofces in
Virginia, while the attorney generals race
was too close to call. Democrats, who
already control both Senate seats, hoped
this election would give them control of all
major statewide ofces for the rst time
since 1970, a rejection of the conservatism
that has dominated for the past four years.
Virginias on its way becoming reliably
blue, Democratic National Committee
chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
said.
In New Jersey, Christie coasted to a sec-
ond term, defeating little-known
Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono.
He assembled a winning coalition with
broad support among constituencies that
dont reliably vote Republican. Exit polls
show that Christie carried a majority of
women and split Hispanics with Buono. He
improved on his share of the vote among
blacks in 2009 by more than 10 percentage
points.
Christies advisers saw his ability to draw
support from Democrats, independents and
minorities as a winning argument ahead of
2016, pitching him as the most electable
candidate in what could be a crowded presi-
dential primary eld.
As your governor, it has never mattered
where someone is from, whether they voted
for me or not, what the color of their skin
was, or their political party. For me, being
governor has always about getting the job
done, rst, Christie told supporters inside
a rowdy convention hall in Asbury Park,
N.J., just steps away from the same Jersey
Shore that was devastated by Superstorm
Sandy a year ago.
Taken together, the results in individual
states and cities yielded no broad judgments
on how the American public feels about
todays two biggest national political
debates government spending and health
care which are more likely to shape next
falls midterm elections.
Even so, Tuesdays voting had local
impact.
Other races of note:
In Alabama, the GOPs internal squab-
bles played out in the special congressional
runoff primary election. Bradley Byrne, a
veteran politician and the choice of the GOP
establishment, won against tea party
favorite Dean Young. The race was the rst
test of the U.S. Chamber of Commerces
promise to try to inuence primaries. The
group had pumped at least $200,000 into
supporting Byrne.
Big city mayors: In New York, de Blasio
cruised to victory over Republican Joe
Lhota after Michael Bloombergs 12-year
tenure. Atlanta, Boston, Detroit,
Minneapolis, Seattle and other cities also
chose mayors.
Colorado: Voters agreed to tax marijua-
na at 25 percent and apply the proceeds to
regulating the newly legalized drug and
building schools. And 10 rural counties
refused to approve secession from the state.
One county narrowly voted to secede, but it
was a symbolic gesture.

begin his third term on the council
without his longtime colleagues
Coralin Feierbach and Dave Warden.
Warden was elected to the Mid-
Peninsula Water District Board of
Directors last night.
Reed and Stone ran clean campaigns
and stuck to positive messages,
Leiberman said.
It looks like the citizens of
Belmont have said they want change,
they want a positive change and they
want a lot more out of the council than
theyve been getting, Leiberman
said.
There were three open seats and
Planning Commissioner Kristin
Mercer came in fourth place with 16.7
percent of the votes.
It is what it is, Mercer said.
Gladwyn dSouza came in fth with
13.8 percent and Mike Verdone came
in sixth with 9.9 percent of the vote.
Reed spent ve years on the citys
Planning Commission and wants to
focus on the citys development. The
city could benet from further econom-
ic development downtown and along
the El Camino Real corridor, Reed said.
His main priority, however, is to bring
civility back to government, Reed
said.
Along with Leiberman and Stone, he
hopes to provide Belmont with a City
Council that works collaboratively
and with the interests of the citizens in
the forefront of their minds, Reed said.
Stone took note of the Crystal
Springs Upland School fiasco and
wants to work on xing and maintain-
ing a positive relationship with the
school districts.
This is a very exciting time for the
city. I believe that the next council
will be in a wonderful position to do
many many good things for the city,
Leiberman said.
BELMONT
ment, he said. I want to look at long-
term strategic plans to make South San
Francisco a destination.
Matsumoto said she was sur-
prised she won with such a large
margi n.
Im really gratied and pleased peo-
ple have voted me back in to let me n-
ish work, she said. There are major
challenges ahead with the new city
manager and Im anxious to go to
work.
Addiego, 58, has lived in South San
Francisco for 48 years and was a coun-
cilman from 1980-1989 and from
2005 to present.
Im very pleased citizens would
have me again, Addiego said. There
were a lot of good candidates to choose
from and Im very grateful.
With a large number of those in city
management leaving recently, includ-
ing the city manager, Addiegos top
priority for the next ve or six months
is going to be focusing on rebuilding
the team at City Hall.
He is also looking forward to work-
ing with Normandy.
It will be good to have another
woman at the table, he said. She is
young and is raising children and
brings a different perspective.
Normandy, 40, said she is excited
and was ready to crack open the cham-
pagne last night.
My first order of business is to
become familiar with everything and
transition off the school board, she
said. I have someone in mind as a
potential candidate for appointment.
City Clerk Krista Martinelli and
Treasurer Frank Risso ran uncontested.
SSF
Commission, said he ran to bring a
younger, tech-savvy perspective.
I definitely think San Carlos is
about raising families and I denitely
think people thought having a repre-
sentative on the council that is a father
with young children resonated,
Johnson said. In the end, its really
just about the broad message.
Both incumbents said they look for-
ward to working with Johnson and
Grassilli jokingly gave him a bit of
advice a lot of what we do is com-
mon sense.
San Carlos leaders, in particular
Grassilli as the mayor, received wide-
spread attention at the tail end of the
campaign season when the city
declared a state of emergency because
of internal Pacific Gas and Electric
emails questioning safety of a key
pipeline.
The race also had the shadow of the
controversial Transit Village project
proposed around the existing train sta-
tion. The City Council is in the midst
of considering the development a
reason the candidates position on the
project was front and center but
leaves uncertain if the current or future
makeup will take the critical vote.
When appointed to nish out the
remaining term of the resigned mayor,
Clapper promised not to run in the
election but said she changed her mind
at the urging of residents and the desire
to maintain continuity.
Tiegel Doherty, a change manage-
ment consultant who served on the
council from 2001 to 2007, said she
was ready for a return to council now
that her children are grown.
SAN CARLOS
being past president of the San
Mateo County Association of
Realtors. Shes lived in Millbrae for
22 years.
Im really happy, excited and
thrilled actually, she said. I think
that development of downtown, pub-
lic safety and private property rights
are my top priorities.
Meanwhile, newcomer Holober, 25,
said he was nervous in the hours lead-
ing up to the election, but that the
precinct walking and phone calls
seemed to make a difference. Bringing
more businesses to Millbrae would be
his first order of business.
Its something well need to boost
city services, he said. Weve cut
back on number of services and need
stronger revenue streams to ensure
quality public safety and improve
infrastructure.
Holober is a biotech employee at
Natera in San Carlos.
MILLBRAE
person without prior city government
experience also showed that you
dont have to be this special, anointed
person to run and hopes it inspires
others to follow suit.
Han pushed issues like affordable
housing, open space and responsible
development.
Despite his last-place showing, Han
said he was happy with the outcome
because he had no establishment back-
ing and didnt fall too far behind
Schmidt.
Im pretty proud of what weve man-
aged to do, he said of the effort by
himself and his backers.
Han also doesnt rule out a future run,
saying hell denitely consider it
because the issues close to his heart
arent going away.

skills, creativity and charm to connect with people
who can enrich your life. A joint, service-oriented

Varee Wycoff, CLPF be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal 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 ob-
jection 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: November 27, 2013
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA

If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Lim generated the most voter support
with 27.4 percent of the vote, according to
the semi-ofcial results from the San Mateo
County Elections Ofce.
Ill continue being accountable and
accessible. [For the] rst four months, Ill
have meetings on sustainability, street
repairs and quality-of-life issues, Lim told
the Daily Journal.
Ross came in second with 23.4 percent,
narrowly ahead of Goethals who came in
with 23.3 percent of the vote.
Goethals, like Lim, is a prosecutor for the
Alameda County District Attorneys Ofce
and is giving up his position on the
Peninsula Health Care District Board to
serve on the council. Its bittersweet,
because the health care district is very
important the citys well-being, however he
couldnt pass up the opportunity to have a
role on the council, Goethals said.
Joshua Hugg came in fourth with 13.3
percent of the vote. Regardless of the out-
come, he stayed true to his values and will
remain in civic service and continue to sup-
port the community as a planning commis-
sioner, Hugg said. Although disappointed
in the loss, he is happy to have provided
voices to people who wouldnt otherwise be
part of the dialogue, Hugg said.
Ill continue to work to make the city the
best it can be to the extent that I can, Hugg
said.
Communications and marketing profes-
sional Karen Schmidt took her rst swing at
city politics and came in fth with 12.6 per-
cent of the vote.
Ross, a 28-year veteran of citys police
department, has served on the council for
four years, as has Lim. Goethals will be l l-
ing councilman Brandt Grottes seat after he
opted not to run for re-election this year.
Ross looks forward to working with the
young Goethals.
Im excited, I think Joe will bring a set
of fresh eyes and some new perspective,
Ross said.
With the citys recent controversy and
lawsuit over the new 7-Eleven on San Mateo
Drive, Lim and Ross need a strong cohort.
Even with a top-notch council, the city
still has several staff vacancies to ll after
three members of the Community
Development Department, including direc-
tor Lisa Grote resigned. Anew city manager
will also need to be appointed as the former
city manager Susan Loftus retired Nov. 1.
The city has a great interim city manager in
Larry Patterson and, once things are reor-
ganized, he would like to see everyone come
together as a team at City Hall, Goethals
said.
With continued input from the community
and businesses, Ross said he hopes to create
a long-term vision for the city. Affordable
housing, city staff oversight and develop-
ing a more fruitful downtown are issues all
of the candidates agree need work.

man Russ Cohen, who are separated by 10
votes, with Ortiz taking 15.6 percent with
1,644 votes and Cohen taking 15.5 percent
with 1,634 votes. Nirmala Bandrapalli,
Steve Duncan, Alexander England Kent,
Andrew Peceimer and Robert Schinagl also
ran. Incumbent Cathy Baylock opted not to
run again.
Cohen, 54, has not yet conceded and said
he knew it was going to be a close race, but
will have to wait for ofcial results. Cohen
is vice president of the Burlingame
Historical Society, founder and chief cura-
tor, at the Burlingame History Museum and

top priority going into ofce is to gure out
way to build a parking garage to unlock the
redevelopment of downtown and implement
the downtown plan. Brownrigg said he is
very much looking forward to working with
Keighran again.

BURLINGAME
support Measure P. After the meeting con-
cluded, Simms allegedly refused to shake the
mayors hand as he had it extended out in
thanks for her presentation.
The measure would have allowed Knolls in
San Mateo, which has been used as a tempo-
rary overflow school, to reopen for the
2016-17 school year. This would have hap-
pened following a design process and con-
struction of about three years, taking about
$18 million. About $60-$80 million would
have gone to Bowditch in Foster City
expanding from 1,000 to 1,500 students,
adding a oor and expanding on the ground
level to address growing enrollment.
Voters previously approved Measure L, a
$175 million bond measure in 2008. There
is still $70 million in funds left from
Measure L, Lawson previously said.
In other school ballot measure news, vot-
ers approved an extension of Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary School
District parcel taxes of $174 per year that
were due to expire soon. Measure R received
71.4 percent approval votes and expires in
10 years, according to the semi-official
elections results. It required a two-thirds
majority approval.
The Yes on R committee was pleased with
the results, stating it is grateful for the com-
munitys support.
People worked very hard and elections
are hard to predict, said board President
Robert Tashjian. People spent a lot of time
and effort.
An independent citizen oversight com-
mittee would continue to oversee district
expenditures, according to district ofcials.

MEASURE P
By KimberlyHefling
WASHINGTON Americans who passed
part, but not all, of the GED test are rush-
ing to finish the high school equivalency
exam before a new version rolls out in
January and their previous scores are wiped
out. About 1 million people could be
affected.
With the new version, test takers must
use a computer instead of paper and pencil.
The test itself will be more rigorous and
cost more at $120, the price in some
states will be significantly higher than
previous versions. Some places may sub-
sidize all or part of the cost.
This is the thing thats sort of putting
the spur in the saddle, said Lecester
Johnson, executive director of Academy of
Hope, an adult charter school in
Washington. People just dont want to
start over.
Test takers have been warned for more
than a year about the approaching Dec. 31
deadline to complete the test. States and
localities are phoning people, and thou-
sands of letters have gone out including
to 32,000 Californians who passed parts
but not all the test in the last two years.
We dont want anyone to be caught off-
guard and come in and test in January or
February thinking they have their old
scores, and they have to start over, said
Pam Blundell, who oversees adult educa-
tion for the Oklahoma State Department of
Education. She said Oklahoma test sites
have added additional test days and referred
students to other sites.
Nicole Chestang, executive vice presi-
dent at GED Testing Service, said the rush
was expected. In 2001, the year before the
last upgrade, there was a 30 percent
increase in test takers, most toward the end
of the year, she said.
She advised people to register for the
exam now, even if they dont take it until
later in November or December.

TORONTO Toronto Mayor
Rob Ford acknowledged for the
rst time Tuesday that he smoked
crack probably a year ago when
he was in a drunken stupor, but
he refused to resign despite
immense pressure to step aside as
leader of Canadas largest city.
Ford said he loves his job and
for the sake of the taxpayers, we
must get back to work immediate-
l y.
Allegations that the mayor had
been caught on video smoking
crack surfaced in news reports in
May. Ford initially insisted the
video did not exist, sidestepped
questions about whether he had
ever used crack and rebuffed grow-
ing calls to leave ofce.
The mayor was forced to back-
track last week after police said
they had obtained a copy of the
video in the course of a drug inves-
tigation against a friend of Fords .
Yes, I have smoked crack
cocaine, Ford told reporters earli-
er in the day. There have been
times when Ive been in a drunken
stupor. Thats why I want to see
the tape. I want everyone in the
city to see this tape. I dont even
recall there being a tape or video. I
want to see the state that I was in.
Later at a news conference, he
said acknowledging the drug use
made him feel as if he had 1,000
pounds off my back.
Authorities have said the video,
which has not been released pub-
licly, does not constitute enough
evidence to charge the mayor with
a crime.
Police have said they want to
talk to the mayor, but his lawyer
so far has declined.
Police spokesman Mark Pugush
said Fords acknowledgement of
crack use will be passed on to
investigators. Several Toronto
city councilors called on Ford to
step down, and Canadas justice
minister urged him to get help.

U.N. envoy: No deal
on Syrian peace talks date
GENEVA After a rocky day of
U.N.-brokered talks, the United
States and Russia failed to agree on
a date to bring Syrias warring
sides back to the negotiating
table, and the two powers remained
divided Tuesday over what role Iran
should play in a hoped-for Geneva
peace conference.
The U.N.-Arab Leagues top
envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi,
told reporters at the end of the
talks involving the U.S., Russia
and other nations that the impasse
did not mean all hopes of resuming
negotiations from June 2012 were
dashed. Another round of U.S.-
Russian talks on arranging a sec-
ond peace conference in this city
is planned for Nov. 25.
We are still striving to see if we
can have the conference before the
end of the year, he said.
Inspectors waiting
on two Syria chemical sites
UNITED NATIONS Global
chemical weapons inspectors will
visit the last two unveried Syrian
chemical weapons sites as soon as
security conditions allow in the
midst of an ongoing civil war, a
U.N. ofcial said Tuesday.
Sigrid Kaag, the head of the joint
mission of the United Nations and
the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons, told the Security
Council that the inspectors will
check the last two sites as soon as
possible. The inspectors last week
said they had visited 21 of 23 sites
declared by Damascus. The intent
is to visit them in future, subject to
security conditions in the coun-
try, she said.

CAIRO Deep in the desert and
far from his former base of power,
ousted President Mohammed
Morsi is being held in a sprawling
penitentiary that is notorious as
one of Egypts highest-security
prisons.
The move appears aimed not
only at isolating him from other
Muslim Brotherhood leaders who
are jailed in Cairo but also to pre-
vent his supporters from staging
protests or even trying to engi-
neer a prison break, like those
that occurred during the Arab
Spring uprising of 2011.
Morsi spent his rst night at the
Borg el-Arab prison in a hospital
room at the facility, complaining
of high blood pressure and high
blood sugar after a dramatic court
appearance earlier Monday, the
start of his trial on charges of
inciting the killing of protesters
in December 2012. The trial was
adjourned by the judge for two
months.
Morsi, 62, has been reported to
have a number of ailments, includ-
ing diabetes and a peptic ulcer. His
room in the prison hospital has a
TV set and a private bathroom,
security ofcials said.
The 50-acre prison compound,
about 30 kilometers (19 miles)
from Alexandria, is garrisoned by
a special unit of the security forces
and sits behind layers of high con-
crete walls. New checkpoints
stretching for a mile beyond the
prison gates have been set up to
make it more difcult for Morsis
supporters to congregate in the
area for possible protests.
Security ofcials said Borg el-
Arab prison was the preferred
choice of Egyptian authorities
after Morsi spent four months in a
secret military facility, held virtu-
ally incommunicado since he was
ousted July 3 in a popularly
backed military coup.
