Magnet schools may expand

San Mateo-Foster City district committees make suggestions on Montessori and STEAM programs
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Although some support the conclusions of two San Mateo-Foster

City Elementary School District
task forces that came up with recommendations showing one larger, single districtwide Montessori
program on two campuses and one

districtwide STEAM program on

one campus would be ways to
improve magnet programming,
others wish there had been more
input into the process.
The Montessori Task Force
formed about nine months ago,
while the STEAM Development
Team formed about six months ago
to study growing more opportuni-

ties for students to participate in

the crowded Montessori magnet
program and for STEAM to develop a K-5 program at Bayside
STEM Academy that is currently
grades 6-8. This came on the heels
of a February decision by the district to bring Parkside Elementary
School into a science, technology, engineering, art and math pro-

gram from a Montessori and traditional school to the dismay of

some parents. This would somewhat reverse that decision. The
school would continue operating
as a STEAM and Montessori into
the 2015-16 school year, but
would be brought back to
Montessori only the following
year.

We have had quite a journey,

said Mary Kay Going, assistant
superintendent of educational
services. Im most excited about
the engagement process.
Going worked with both task
forces to come up with solutions
to improve the programs. The

Skyline College has proposed a

partnership with the South San
Francisco Unified School District
to create a Middle College on the
community colleges San Bruno
campus starting during the 201516 school year and two other high
school districts are already on
board.
A Middle College, as an alternative school, would provide an
opportunity for some high school
students to attend Skyline and take
both high school and college
courses, all taught by Skyline
instructors. According to Skyline
officials, the aim would be to limit
the first group of students to 50
juniors.
The new program was spearhead-

ed by Skyline President Regina

Stanback
Stroud and Ron
Galatolo, chancellor of the San
Mateo
County
Community
College District and officials are
still awaiting approval from the
South City school district. In
2008, Skyline was in the process
of starting a Middle College with
the Jefferson Union High School
District, but state budget cuts
meant the high schools were no
longer able to continue with the
plan. Once the community college
district became basic aid, it started
up the conversations again, hired
a director to oversee the planning
and execution of the Middle
College, officials said.
I think Middle College is
great, said Patrick Lucy, trustee

Before departure, superintendent to focus on district challenges

Scott Laurence says Common Core implementation, facilities search are top priority for San Mateo Union
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

On the heels of the announcement that Scott Laurence, superintendent of the San Mateo Union
High School District, will be leaving the role this summer, Laurence
said its important he continue to
work on issues facing the district.
Laurence, who began his career
with the district in June 2009,
announced his resignation at the
Thursday night board meeting.

Laurence, 57,
has been in the
educat i o n
world for more
than 30 years
and will serve
as superintendent until his
official resignation on June Scott Laurence
30, 2015
the last official day of the 2014-15
school year. He lives in San
Martin, 60 miles from the district

office. Since the economic recovery of the past few years, his commute to the office has doubled each
way, affecting his quality of life,
according to a press release.
Its been building up over the
course of 18 months, he said.
We tried all sorts of different
things to mitigate it. Weve lived
down here for over 20 years and
its where we raised our family and
have a lot of our friends.
Laurence even recently dealt
with hip issues because of all of

the driving to and from the office.

For now, Laurence said his focus
will be on finding much-needed
new buildings for high schools
and the district office and helping
with the transition to the new
state Common Core standards that
move more toward project-based
learning and the use of technology
in the classroom.
For almost 25 years, Laurence
was a teacher, coach and administrator in the Palo Alto Unified
School District. He began teach-

ing
through
the Stanford
University teacher education program in 1979 at Palo Alto High
School and eventually came back
to the school to teach in 1984.
Growing up on a farm near Fresno,
Laurence attended Stanford and
played baseball. An injury led
Laurence to focus more on his love
of history. He ultimately majored
in history and economics. His
wife, who he met at Stanford, is an

An old E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

The games were part of a cache of

ver a half century has passed since

the ferry system of the San
Francisco Bay was in its heyday of
activity. Oakland and San Francisco were
the hubs of employment but the workers
living quarters were in Marin, Alameda and
San Francisco counties and separated by
water.
The working communities were more concentrated, automobiles were beginning to
rule the roads and transportation modes were
well coordinated with the ferry system
ensuring good transportation connections.
The price of using these modes of transportation were inexpensive. The system of
ferries to help solve this problem began as
early as 1826 by a man named John Reid
who used a sailing boat to move passengers
back and forth from Oakland to San
Francisco. Many other ferry services started
up, many to fold in short time, until consolidation made the systems more reliable and
adequate. The Port of San Francisco was
humming with the maritime trade brought in
by clipper ships, cargo carriers and maritime boats of every description.
The California Legislature passed a bill in
1851 which gave San Francisco the right to
build wharves into the Bay and beyond the
city limits. In the 1850s, building wharves
became a money tree of construction.
Nineteen wharves cluttered the Yerba Buena
Cove from Union to south of Market Street.
Twelve of them were north of Market Street

to Clarks Point. Land had been removed
from Telegraph Hill to make room for the
area around the wharves. The Pacic Mails
steamships tied up at the Broadway Wharf.
Ferries that served Oakland, Sacramento and
Marysville berthed at the Pacic Street
Wharf where the Barbary Coast became
famous for its activities. The area became so
cluttered and disorganized; the California
Board of State Harbor Commissioners
passed a bill to build a seawall to replace
this jumble. When the seawall was nished
in 1912, the shoreline now was three to four
blocks east.
The foot of Davis Street was utilized for
the landing of the rst railroad passengers

from Oakland and Alameda. When the transcendental railroads rst passengers rst
landed in Oakland in 1869, they were then

Francisco. The conditions of the landing
needed to be improved due to the large volume of train trafc that was generated. In

Longtime Silicon Valley entrepreneur pens first book

Rocky Arnold doles out advice on how to intelligently start a company
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A lifelong dream has finally been fulfilled

for San Carlos Rocky Arnold with the publication of his new book The Smart
Entrepreneur: The book investors dont
want you to read.
Arnold, who has been a leader in Silicon
Valley for 40 years, released his first book
Oct. 1. He has experience in executive-level
management, business development,
fundraising, science and engineering and
decided to take those skills to impact the
thinking of those who have a passion to
create valuable technology, products and
companies. His roles include being the
advisor to early stage companies while
working at Paragon Solutions.
I was very excited to get the book done;
its one of those things Ive thought about
for over 20 years, said Arnold, who hold a
Ph.D. and masters degree in civil engineer-

Suspected DUI crash causes

nearly 170 customers to lose power
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and
crashing into a pole in South San Francisco
that has disrupted power and phone service
for almost 200 customers early Sunday
morning, police said.
Around 12:30 a.m., the man was driving a
new sports car north in the 500 block of
Eucalyptus Avenue at high speeds, police
said.
The man lost control of the car and
crashed into a PG&E power pole that fell
down and sheared off an AT&T phone line
control panel at Eucalyptus Avenue and

ing
from
Stanford
University. It was a
very invigorating and
positive experience.
The
book,
that
amounts to 464 pages,
took him nine months to
write, but ultimately
took 15 months with
Rocky Arnold edits and revisions. The
Missouri native wrote in
his San Carlos home.
I thought if I could write 150 pages,
thatd be good, he said. Then as starting
pulling forward all the nitty-gritty details, I
decided a lot of books dont really show
what financial plan looks like, put spread
sheets in. Once I wrote four or five chapters,
I saw the page count was going to be close
to 300, then I put in additional material and
it got even bigger.
The book is process oriented, he said. It
covers how to get an idea, start a company

and keep equity.

It really hits on the question of how,
he said. Ive read many business books
that say do this or do what, but they dont
always tell you how to do that. Its peeling
back the onion skin more so than Ive seen
in other books in this area.
His work highlights the importance of
securing intellectual property and being
careful about picking co-founders. He also
recommends entrepreneurs come up with
their marketing and sales plans prior to
coming up with a business plan.
For Arnold, writing the book felt like a
must, he said.
I came to the point where I had to write
this book, he said. There was always a
reason why startups failed; its a really
tough business. I never thought of any of
these experiences as failures and they were
definitely for me learning experiences. I
was learning a lot along the way.
Two years ago, a very unusual thing hap-

pened and he quit the startup he was working

at then. He started working on the book at
that point.
Looking back, theres so many things I
encountered I never saw written down, he
said. Then I said, a ha! I think I know the
book I can write.
In 24 hours, he wrote the title and table of
contents for the book.
One person can only help another person one at a time, but a book can help a lot
of people at the same time, he said. And I
wont be around forever.
Arnold also holds an MBA in marketing
from the Notre Dame de Namur University,
an M.S. in mechanical engineering from
MIT and a B.S. in mechanical engineering
from the University of Missouri.
The Smart Entrepreneur can be purchased on Amazon at tiny url.com/pv 248qq.

Child homelessness on the rise

By David Crary and Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The number of

homeless children in the U.S. has surged in
recent years to an all-time high, amounting
to one child in every 30, according to a
comprehensive state-by-state report that
blames the nations high poverty rate, the
lack of affordable housing and the impacts
of pervasive domestic violence.
Titled Americas Youngest Outcasts, the
report being issued Monday by the National
Center on Family Homelessness calculates
that nearly 2.5 million American children
were homeless at some point in 2013. The
number is based on the Department of
Educations latest count of 1.3 million
homeless children in public schools, supplemented by estimates of homeless preschool children not counted by the DOE.
The problem is particularly severe in
California, which has one-eighth of the
U.S. population but accounts for more than
one-fifth of the homeless children with a
tally of nearly 527,000.
Carmela DeCandia, director of the national center and a co-author of the report, noted
that the federal government has made
progress in reducing homelessness among
veterans and chronically homeless adults.
The same level of attention and resources
has not been targeted to help families and
children, she said. As a society, were

going to pay a high price, in human and

economic terms.
Child homelessness increased by 8 percent nationally from 2012 to 2013, according to the report, which warned of potentially devastating effects on childrens educational, emotional and social development, as well as on their parents health,
employment prospects and parenting abilities.
The report included a composite index
ranking the states on the extent of child
homelessness, efforts to combat it, and the
overall level of child well-being. States
with the best scores were Minnesota,
Nebraska and Massachusetts. At the bottom
were Alabama, Mississippi and California.
Californias poor ranking did not surprise
Shahera Hyatt, director of the California
Homeless Youth Project.
The crux of the problem, she said, is the
states high cost of living, coupled with
insufficient affordable housing.
People think, Of course we are not letting children and families be homeless, so
theres a lot of disbelief, Hyatt said.
California has not invested in this issue.
Hyatt, 29, was homeless on and off
throughout adolescence, starting when her
parents were evicted when she was in 7th
grade. At 15, she and her older brother took

Parents lie on survey to

identify English learners
By Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Nieves Garcia came

from Mexico at age 6 and spent most of
her elementary school years in California
classified as an English learner even
after she had picked up the language. Now
a 32-year-old mother, she didnt want her
daughter labeled the same way and subjected to additional testing.
And so she lied.
When Garcia signed up her daughter for
kindergarten, she answered a standard fourquestion survey by saying her family
spoke only English at home, even though
her husband doesnt speak the language.
I just said we spoke English, English,
English and English, Garcia said.
California education officials say its
tough to know how many parents lie on
the home language survey they are required
to fill out before their children start public
school. Educators say failing to identify
students who need language assistance can
set the children back and violate federal
laws guaranteeing access to education.
Parents like Garcia fear that by acknowledging the truth, their kids will be
siphoned off from native English speakers
or stigmatized, and could miss out on
learning opportunities.
Rosaisela Rodriguez deliberately didnt
declare that her twin son and daughter
knew Spanish when she enrolled them in

school, adding that most 5-year-olds are

language learners, regardless of whether
they are bilingual.
If they were placed in the English language group they would have been taken
out at a certain time or placed in different
curriculum, said Rodriguez, 51, of
Pleasant Hill. This was a very calculated
move on my part.
In an increasingly multilingual society,
a slew of states are reevaluating how they
define and identify English learners in the
hope of moving toward a more unified system, education experts said.
California plans to roll out a new
English language proficiency test in
2016, and is considering changing its
home language survey, said Elena Fajardo,
administrator of the state Department of
Educations language policy and leadership office. The survey was developed in
1980 and the states population and immigration patterns have changed since then.
Census data shows that nearly 44 percent of Californians age 5 and older speak
a language other than English. The most
common language spoken is Spanish, and
57 percent of Spanish speakers in the
state say they also speak English very
well.
Thats a marked shift from 1990, when
less than a third of the states residents
age 5 and older spoke another language,
and less than half of Spanish-speaking
Californians claimed to also speak
English very well, the data shows.

Islamic State beheads U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig

By Diaa Hadid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The Islamic State group has

beheaded Peter Kassig, releasing a video
Sunday showing a masked militant standing
over the severed head of a man it said was
the former U.S. Army Ranger-turned-aid
worker, who was seized while delivering
relief supplies in Syria last year.
President Barack Obama confirmed
Kassigs slaying after a U.S. review of the
video, which also showed the mass beheadings of a dozen Syrian soldiers.
The 26-year-old Kassig, who founded an
aid group to help Syrians caught in their
countrys brutal civil war, was taken from
us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group
that the world rightly associates with inhumanity, Obama said in a statement.
He denounced the extremist group, which
he said revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only
on sowing death and destruction.
The slain hostages parents, Ed and Paula
Kassig, said they were heartbroken by
their sons killing, but incredibly proud
of his humanitarian work. Kassig lost his
life as a result of his love for the Syrian
people and his desire to ease their suffering, the parents said in a statement from
Indianapolis.
With Kassigs death, the Islamic State

Obituary

Grace Marie Izmirian

Grace Izmirian, July 9, 1917 - November 10, 2014. A longtime resident of San Mateo-Hillsborough,
Grace settled in California in her twenties and worked in the insurance business in San Francisco until
meeting and marrying husband Luther in 1939. The two raised a large family and were devoted to
providing them with love and support in all things.
Grace led a full life and was well known for her kind heart and generosity as a philanthropist to many
Armenian-American and local community organizations. She was a true matriarch, imparting words
of wisdom; giving her full support and love; and touching not only the lives of her family but the
many others she met and worked with during her 97 years.
Preceded in death by her husband Luther Izmirian and son Charles, she is survived by daughter
Alice Sarafian, sons Luther (Beth), Robert (Suzanne), and Richard Izmirian and their families including
grandchildren Karen Sarafian-Hames, Katherine Sarafian-Gourjian, Stephen Sarafian, Alexa, Emily, and
Daniel Izmirian, and great-grandchildren Arielle and Joshua Hames, and Avedis and Mardiros Gourjian.
Graces family members celebrated her life in a private service.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that contributions be made to the following organizations:
Mission Hospice & Home Care, 1670 South Amphlett Blvd. #300, San Mateo, CA 94402;
Samaritan House, 4031 Pacific Blvd.

Iraq, said the black-clad militant, who

spoke with a British accent that was distorted in the video, apparently to disguise his
identity. Previous videos featured a militant
with a British accent that the FBI says it has
identified, though it hasnt named him publicly.
The footage released Sunday identifies the
militants location as Dabiq, a town in
northern Syria that the Islamic State group
uses as the title of its English-language
propaganda magazine and where they
believe an apocalyptic battle between
Muslims and their enemies will occur.
The high-definition video also showed
the beheadings of about a dozen men identified as Syrian military officers and pilots,
all dressed in blue jumpsuits. The black-clad
militant warns that U.S. soldiers will meet a
similar fate.
We say to you, Obama: You claim to have
withdrawn from Iraq four years ago, the
militant said. Here you are: You have not
withdrawn. Rather, you hid some of your
forces behind your proxies. A U.S.-led
coalition is targeting the Islamic State
group in airstrikes, supporting Western-

backed Syrian rebels, Kurdish fighters and

the Iraqi military.
Kassig, who served in the U.S. Armys
75th Ranger Regiment, a special operations unit, deployed to Iraq in 2007. After
being medically discharged, he returned to
the Middle East in 2012 and formed a relief
group, Special Emergency Response and
Assistance, to aid Syrian refugees.
A certified EMT, Kassig had delivered food
and medical supplies and provided trauma
care to wounded Syrians before being captured in eastern Syria on Oct. 1, 2013.
Friends say he converted to Islam in captivity and took the first name Abdul-Rahman.
In a statement issued as he flew back to
Washington from the Asia-Pacific region,
Obama said Kassig was a humanitarian
who worked to save the lives of Syrians
injured and dispossessed by war. The president offered prayers and condolences to
Kassigs family.
We cannot begin to imagine their
anguish at this painful time, he said.
Burhan Agha, a Syrian who worked with
Kassig in Lebanon, wept when recounting
his friends humanitarian work.

Prosecutors troubled by extent of military fraud

By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Fabian
Barrera found a way to make fast
cash in the Texas National Guard,
earning roughly $181, 000 for
claiming to have steered 119
potential recruits to join the military. But the bonuses were ill-gotten because the former captain
never actually referred any of
them.
Barreras case, which ended last
month with a prison sentence of at
least three years, is part of what
Justice Department
lawyers
describe as a recurring pattern of
corruption that spans a broad

cross section of the military.

In a period when the nation has
spent freely to support wars on
multiple fronts, prosecutors have
found plentiful targets: defendants
who bill for services they do not
provide, those who steer lucrative
contracts to select business partners and those who use bribes to
game a vast military enterprise.
Despite numerous cases that
have produced long prison sentences, the problems have continued abroad and at home with a frequency that law enforcement officials consider troubling.
The schemes we see really run
the gamut from relatively small
bribes paid to somebody in

Afghanistan to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contracts being steered in the direction of a favored company whos
paying
bribes,
Assistant
Attorney General Leslie Caldwell,
head of the Justice Departments
criminal division, said in an interview.
In the past few months alone,
four retired and one active-duty
Army National Guard officials
were charged in a complex bribery
and kickback scheme involving
the awarding of contracts for marketing and promotional material,
and a trucking company driver
pleaded guilty to bribing military
base employees in Georgia to

obtain freight shipments often

weapons which required satellite
tracking to transport to the
West Coast.
More recently, a former contractor for the Navys Military Sealift
Command, which provides transportation for the service, was sentenced to prison along with a businessman in a bribery case in
which cash, a wine refrigerator and
other gifts traded hands in
exchange for favorable treatment
on telecommunications work.
Also, three men, including two
retired Marine Corps officers,
were charged with cheating on a
bid proposal for maintenance
work involving a helicopter

squadron that serves the White

House.
Justice Department lawyers say
they dont consider the military
more vulnerable to corruption
than any other large organization,
but that the same elements that
can set the stage for malfeasance
including relatively low-paid
workers administering lucrative
contracts, and heavy reliance on
contractor-provided services
also exist in the military.
Jack Smith heads the departments Public Integrity section,
which is best known for prosecuting politicians but has also
brought multiple cases against
service members.

Nigerian army says it has Confrontations for Obama after trip

regained town of Chibok
By Julie Pace

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Haruna Umar and Chika Oduah

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria The Nigerian

army has regained control of Chibok, the
northeastern town where more than 200
schoolgirls were kidnapped by Islamic
extremists more than six months ago, said
army officials.
The army wrested back control of Chibok on
Saturday, about 48 hours after it had been captured by the Islamic militants of Boko Haram,
Nigerian army spokesman Brigadier General
Olajide Olaleye told the Associated Press.
Chibok is firmly in the hands of the
Nigerian army. Olaleye told the AP.
Chibok is free. Secured.
He encouraged Chibok residents to return
to their homes.
The town of about 60,000 in Nigerias

northeastern Borno state had been captured

by Boko Haram insurgents on Thursday
night. Thousands of residents fled when the
rebels entered the town shooting from pickup trucks and motorcycles.
Two days later Chibok was recaptured by
troops of the Nigerian Armys 7 Division,
said Colonel Sani Usman, deputy director of
army public relations.
Chibok is an enclave of mainly Christian
families, some involved in translating the
Bible into local languages, in the mainly
Muslim north of Nigeria.
Although the army has regained control of
Chibok, Boko Haram still holds several
towns and cities in an area covering an estimated 20, 000 square kilometers (7, 700
square miles) where they have declared an
Islamic caliphate, similar to the Islamic
State group in Iraq and Syria.

BRISBANE, Australia After a productive trip abroad, President Barack Obama

headed home Sunday on a collision course
with Republicans on immigration and an oil
pipeline project, showdowns that threaten
prospects for cooperation over his remaining two years in office.
The contentious immigration debate could
mean a year-end fight over keeping the government running, if some GOP lawmakers
get their way.
On the foreign policy front, there is a
Nov. 24 deadline in nuclear negotiations
with Iran, and questions are surfacing within
the administration about whether to overhaul U.S. policy toward Syria.
Given his faltering political support in
the U.S. and his partys recent election losses, his trip to China, Myanmar and Australia
appeared to offer respite.
The president, who was due to arrive in

Washington late Sunday, basked in policy

breakthroughs with China and warm welcomes in Myanmar and Australia.
I intend to build on that momentum when
I return home, Obama said at a news conference before heading home.
When Obama set off for the Asia Pacific,
both the White House and Republicans were
suggesting that the GOPs decisive takeover
of the Senate could pave the way for bipartisan breakthroughs. But just two weeks after
the election, that optimism largely has
faded, making it increasingly likely that
Washington will churn through two more
years of gridlock.
Republicans attribute the swift shift in
tone largely to Obamas plans to move forward with executive actions on immigration
that potentially could shield from deportation about 5 million immigrants who are
living in the United States illegally. The
president has pledged to announce the measures before years end; he could act shortly
after returning to Washington.

Community outreach

The era of Chinese assertiveness

Other voices

The Wall Street Journal

Last weeks Asia Pacic Economic

Cooperation summit in Beijing
showed that Supreme Leader Xi
Jinping was serious when he promised
in January to become proactive in
international affairs. Deng Xiaopings
maxim that China should bide its time
and avoid taking the lead abroad is in
the dustbin of history. This is the era
of Chinese assertiveness.
Xis vision includes a Free Trade Area
of the Asia-Pacic that is broader than
the U.S.-backed Trans-Pacic
Partnership (TPP) , as well as two new
regional development banks. Beijing
will create a $40 billion Silk Road
Fund to build ports, roads and rail links
to link up the region, a project some
have dubbed Chinas Marshall Plan.
That moniker may not be ofcially
sanctioned, but it is revealing: Xis
charm offensive is an attempt to outAmerican the Americans. China
played the spoiler at the World Trade
Organization to defeat the Doha trade

talks in 2008, but he laments that

various types of regional free trade
arrangements mushroomed, creating
puzzling choices.
With $4 trillion in foreignexchange reserves mostly in lowyielding Treasurys, China has the
resources to buy some good will. The
idea of aid schemes that boost demand
for Chinas products is hardly new;
economist Xu Shanda proposed a
Chinese Marshall Plan in 2009. Silk
Road projects can also further the
internationalization of the yuan by
including yuan-denominated bonds.
Nevertheless, Beijing will do much
good if it enables neighbors to lift
themselves through trade. At rst
glance, this is the same win-win
proposition that the U.S.-fostered
system offered after World War II.
The larger question is whether
Asians welcome a transfer of trade and
investment leadership from the U.S.
to China. Many nations will no doubt

take Chinese loans, even if they come

with strings attached. As they did during the Cold War, some nations will
attempt to stay on the fence in order
to play off the two competitors for
maximum benet.
Will Beijings gambit work? Its
belief that prot and development are
the keys to international relations
has persuaded it that the U.S. will
soon become isolated in the region.
The Obama administrations halfhearted embrace of the TPP also hasnt helped, though that may change
with a Republican Congress prepared
to give the President fast-track negotiating authority.
Then again, Asian nations have
good reason to distrust an authoritarian government bent on recapturing
past glories while ignoring international norms and the rule of law, as it
does in the South China Sea. That
gives Obama an opportunity to recapture the trade initiative in Asia, assuming he remains serious about a pivot
to Asia that was once one of the central promises of his presidency.

Letters to the editor

GOP win will cause seniors
and federal workers to suffer
Editor,
With Republicans now in full control of Congress, all seniors active
and retired will face deep cuts in
their Social Security and Medicare
benets. The GOP plan to privatize
both programs may take longer.
Thousands of federal workers face
losing their jobs as cutting the federal decit is all Republicans ever
offered toward restoring the economy.
They strongly opposed all recovery
programs offered by President Obama
and his administration. Despite that,
the economy has gained momentum,
unemployment gures are down and
jobs are increasing.
This recent political victory
enables the GOP to nullify much of
Obamas political power, but millions who depend upon federal aid
will be left out in the cold.

There will be job creation also, the

he San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School

District is doing a massive outreach campaign to
gather input from the community on how to address
increasing enrollment. This follows a failed attempt to pass
a bond measure when critics complained not enough voices
were involved. So far, the district has held numerous meetings at school sites in Foster City and San Mateo and
encouraged all members of the public to attend.
I went to one of these
meetings last week and was
impressed with the process.
About 60 people attended
Borel Middle School, not
including staff, board members and representatives
from Peninsula Conict
Resolution Center, who
were running the show. We
were divided into four
groups. PCRC members led
and recorded the group discussions. My group included mostly parents from a
variety of local schools
with children ranging from
preschool to high school,
grandparents and interested
community members. I
assume the other groups were similar.
The challenge was stated and reiterated: In two years,
enrollment will exceed capacity; new students will have to
be assigned outside of their neighborhoods and 85 new
classrooms will be needed. We were asked for our ideas on
how to solve the problem and also how to ensure equity
across the district. When the groups reported out, many said
they werent sure what the district meant by equity and it
needed to be better dened.
Some of the suggestions were out of the box. One
woman from Denmark said their kindergarten children
were bussed to outlying areas in the country where they
had an idyllic school experience. After rst laughing this
off, the group started brainstorming similar ideas
maybe having a central art or music center and leaving
more classroom space available at the home schools.
Some of the input was more practical. When all groups
reported, several suggested a multi-track year-round school
schedule in which facilities would be open all year and capacity increased by one fourth (The district presently operates
several year-round schools but it is a single track all students attend the same time. But it is getting rid of the year
round schedule and soon all students will be on a standard calendar). Some suggested a morning and afternoon kindergarten but that would interfere with the districts goal of
eventually offering a full-day kindergarten. By adding a second story, schools could increase capacity but there would be
additional costs, especially for handicapped access.
Increasing developer fees for new housing was also cited.
Many of the groups suggested opening Knolls School
which had been closed decades ago when enrollment was
declining. Also popular was returning Turnbull in North
Central San Mateo to its original status as a neighborhood school. This would avoid busing out several hundred North Central children to other schools in San
Mateo. The next step is to collect the input, see how it
meets the challenge and is financially feasible. Some did
suggest going for another bond issue. My guess is that
will be the ultimate outcome.
***
In another move which awaits public discussion and
board approval, the district is considering consolidating
the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)
programs at Bayside and Parkside into one site. Bayside
would become a K-8 magnet STEM school. Parkside elementary also houses a Montessori program. Once Parkside
became a STEM school, the district was considering eliminating the Montessori program there. Problem no room
at the only other Montessori district school and a long
waiting list to get into North Shoreview.
The new solution would combine the Montessori program at two schools North Shoreview and Parkside to
avoid having two programs at Parkside and expand use of
Baysides STEM facilities in a school where there is currently extra space. Bayside has just won a state award for its
innovative STEM program. Meanwhile, the districts
Montessori program (it was one of the rst in the nation to
offer Montessori in a public school) has remained exceptionally popular since its inception 40 years ago.
***
Dr. Jeannie Elliott, who brought STEM to Bayside where
she has served 12 years as principal, is moving to the San
Mateo County Ofce of Education to join their STEM team,
which in turn will be working with Bayside to implement the
new K-8 school conguration. In her place, two former principals Toni-Sue Passantino, a former Bayside principal,
and Joanne Day, a former principal at Parkside will return
until a permanent principal is chosen. Both Parkside and
Bayside are already magnet schools, open to any student in
the district if space is available. The new congurations, if
approved, could make them two of the most popular magnets
in the district while addressing some enrollment challenges.

G-20 leaders agree on $2 trillion boost to growth

By Kristen Gelineau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRISBANE, Australia Under pressure

to jolt the lethargic world economy back to
life, leaders of G-20 nations on Sunday
finalized a plan to boost global GDP by
more than $2 trillion over five years. The
fanfare, however, was overshadowed by tensions between Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Western leaders.
The communique from the Brisbane summit of Group of 20 wealthy and emerging
nations revealed that the plan for jumpstarting growth includes investing in infrastructure, increasing trade and the creation of a
global infrastructure hub that would help
match potential investors with projects.
Leaders also aim to reduce the gap
between male and female participation in
the workforce by 25 percent by 2025, saying that would put 100 million more women
in employment and reduce poverty.
Speaking at the end of the summit,
Australias Prime Minister Tony Abbott said
countries will hold each other to account by
monitoring implementation of their commitments to boost growth.
The G-20, criticized in recent years as
being all talk and no action, was urged to
deliver measurable results this year.
Perhaps in response, the group said the
International Monetary Fund and OECD will
also play a role in monitoring progress and
estimating the economic benefits of the
growth plan.
IMF managing director Christine Lagarde
dismissed concerns that countries might
fudge their growth figures, saying that

Japans Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during a trilateral meeting at the G20 conference in Brisbane.
while the monitoring isnt scientific, its a
thorough and detailed process.
Well make sure they keep their feet to
the fire, she said.
The G-20 communique says if the $2 trillion initiative is fully implemented, it will
lift global GDP by 2. 1 percent above
expected levels by 2018 and create millions
of jobs.
Abbott said countries agreed on more
than 800 new measures to spur the global
economy, which the IMF describes as fac-

Obscure Nebraska panel may

hold sway over oil pipeline
By Grant Schulte
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LINCOLN, Neb. Congress is suddenly

scrambling to vote on the Keystone XL oil
pipeline, but the fate of the oft-delayed $5.4
billion project could still wind up in the
hands of an obscure commission in
Nebraska that regulates telephones, taxi
cabs and grain bins.
The Nebraska Supreme Court is expected
to rule within weeks on whether the
Nebraska Public Service Commission must
review the pipeline before it can cross the
state, one of six on the pipelines route.
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman gave the
green light in January 2013 without the
panels involvement.
The commissions possible role is part of
the tangled legal and political history of the
pipeline and raises questions about whether
it will continue to be snagged even if the
Senate votes to approve it next week as
expected. The House voted 252-161 Friday
to move forward with the project. President
Barack Obama, who has delayed a decision
pending the resolution of the Nebraska
issue, has not said whether he would sign
the legislation.
The proposed crude-oil pipeline, which
would run 1,179 miles from the Canadian tar

sands to Gulf coast

refineries, has been the
subject of a fierce struggle between environmentalists and energy advocates ever since Calgarybased TransCanada proposed it in 2008.
I dont know if they
think
they can just overDave
ride Nebraska, said
Heineman
Randy Thompson, one
of three landowners who filed suit to challenge the states approval process. If we
win our case, I assume TransCanada is going
to have to go back to the drawing board.
A district court in February ruled that a law
that gave Heineman the authority to
approve the project ran afoul of Nebraskas
constitution.
While theres no way to tell how the
Nebraska Supreme Court will rule on the issue,
the justices tend to defer to the lower courts
decisions, said Anthony Schutz, a University
of Nebraska associate law professor.
The separation of powers argument is a
pretty powerful argument, Schutz said.
Weve spent a lot of time since the early
1900s finding ways to distribute executive
power, and the governor is left with a fairly
limited realm of authority.

ing a new mediocre.

People right around the world are going
to be better off, he said.
But the G-20, which represents around 85
percent of the global economy, faces an
uphill struggle to implement its plan after
international agencies downgraded their
global growth forecasts in recent months.
Growth in China and Japan has weakened
and Europe is teetering on the brink of
another recession.
And experts warned that the countries

would need to comply with every one of the

800 measures to achieve the 2.1 percent target, a virtually impossible task, given the
difficulties they will inevitably face in
pushing some of the policies through in
their home countries.
There are two questions: whether the
specifics are credible and whether the political backing by leaders is convincing, said
Thomas Bernes, an analyst with the Center
for International Governance Innovation, a
Canadian-based think-thank.
Abbott said the group had been most productive on the issue of trade, calling it the
key driver of growth. The leaders adopted
reforms to streamline customs procedures
and reduce regulatory burdens.
Despite Australias push to keep the summit focused on the economy, the meeting
was largely overshadowed by tensions
between Putin and Western leaders over the
escalating conflict in Ukraine, where
Moscow is supporting pro-Russian rebels
in the countrys east.
Putin was the first leader to depart
Australia, leaving before the communique
was issued. He told reporters he left ahead of
a final leaders lunch because he wanted to
rest before returning to work.
Abbott has been particularly strongworded in his criticism of Russia since a
Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down in
July over a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists,
killing all 298 on board. Australia lost 38
citizens and residents in the MH 17 disaster.
Abbott said he and Putin had engaged in a
very robust discussion about the situation
in Ukraine.

Obama administration says

HealthCare.gov working well
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON As a crucial second

sign-up season gears up, the Obama administration said Sunday that HealthCare.gov is
stable and working well, a far cry from last
years frozen computer screens and frustrated customers.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia M. Burwell said she expects strong
and healthy growth for 2015. About 7 million people are signed up, and Burwell
expects to grow that by 2 million more or so.
The Congressional Budget Office has projected a total of 13 million enrolled for
2015, and some see the administration as
trying to lower expectations.
Burwell told NBCs Meet the Press that
100,000 people had submitted new applications this weekend via the federal website
serving 37 states. Thats a big difference
from last year, when only a handful of customers managed to enroll on the first day.
Burwell also said that a half-million people who already have coverage through the
program were able to log into their accounts
this time.
There were reports Saturday that returning
customers had problems, and it appeared
some of that may have been confusion trying to remember user names and passwords.
Administration spokesman Aaron Albright
said Sunday he had not seen any indication
that the website was the cause.
Many returning customers had not reset
their passwords, as they were asked to earlier this year. Some could not recall their accurate user names. A common mistake

involved consumers who entered their email

addresses as user names, when they had actually created a user name earlier on. That
meant they couldnt get a password reset
email from HealthCare.gov, because they
did not use the correct user name.
Call centers have been helping resolve
cases where consumers had trouble resetting
their passwords, and the Health and Human
Service Department said accounts were
being unlocked on a timely basis. All told,
the call centers had taken about 100,000
calls by Sunday morning, on a range of situations.
President Barack Obama noted the
improvements. HealthCare. gov works
really well now, he said.
HealthCare.gov is an online marketplace
that offers subsidized private coverage to
people who dont have health insurance on
the job. Because of political opposition and
technical issues, the federal government is
running the health insurance exchange in
most states.
Thirteen states and Washington, D.C., are
running their own markets. Washington
state had problems Saturday with its
exchange, which was generating inaccurate
subsidy calculations.
Premiums, on average, appear to be stable
this year. But experts say overall national
numbers can mask big changes from state to
state, and sometimes even within parts of a
state. In particular, customers who already
got covered this year are being advised to
shop around to avoid significant cost
increases.
With Congress fully under Republican
control, the administration cannot afford
another website meltdown.

M-A set to make another CCS title run

By Terry Bernal

1 outside hitter Meghan Mahoney and 6-3

middle blocker Jessica Dinneen the Bears
are now two wins away from adding a second
title to the trophy case.
We have the benefit of having a lot of
good volleyball players, and I think in
matches like [Saturday], it shows, Whitmill
said. This team obviously has some very talented kids at Gunn, but we just have so much
depth, we may give up points in one rotation,
but by the time they get back into that strong
rotation again, we scored so many points.
M-As depth was evident from the outset of
Game 1. At first, Gunn (15-15) briefly controlled M-As high-velocity attack. The
Titans took a quick 5-3 lead, but the Bears

adjusted immediately when senior outside hitter Ally Ostrow changed it up with a key roll
shot for one of her five set kills to tie it 5-5.

The Burlingame football team retained

The Paw Saturday the trophy awarded
annually to the winner of the BurlingameSan Mateo game for the fifth year in a row.
Unlike the last two years that saw the
Panthers beat the Bearcats by a combined
score of 89-13, Burlingame had to survive a
strong effort from San Mateo in a game that
wasnt decided until the final minutes.
Happy to walk out of here with a win,
said Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos.
San Mateo deserves a lot of credit. They
really did a good job [Saturday].
Burlingame (9-1 overall) threatened to turn
the game into a laugher early. The Panthers
scored on their first drive of the game and
added two more touchdowns in the second
quarter to take a 21-0 lead with 8:43 to play
in the first half.
We did a lot of good things early in the
game, Philipopoulos said.
But in less than two minutes, San Mateo
(4-6) was right back in the game, scoring a
pair of touchdowns in a 1:19 span to trail 2114 at halftime.
In the second half, Burlingame did just
enough to hold off the Bearcats. The
Panthers kicked a field goal on the first possession of the third quarter for a 24-14 lead,
but San Mateo came right back with a touchdown to close to 24-21.
That would be as close as the Bearcats
would get, however. Burlingame added an
insurance touchdown early in the fourth quarter before the Panthers defense took over.
After San Mateo picked off a pass at midfield
with just over six minutes to play, the
Burlingame defense eventually stopped the
Bearcats on fourth down at the Panthers 21
with just over three minutes to play.
Burlingame then ran out the clock.
They played their asses off, San Mateo
coach Jeff Scheller said of his team. I was
proud of them.
Scheller said before the game the Bearcats
had two defensive goals: take away the

South Citys 36-0 win over El Camino in

Saturdays Bell Game was devoid of the dramatics of last years rivalry matchup.
Warriors defensive end Terrell Townsend
provided plenty of excitement nonetheless.
The senior standout had a hand in two sacks
while making a statement in his final high
school game. In three years with the varsity squad, Townsend has proven the pride of
a South City team which turned its season
around in a hurry.
After starting the year losing its first five
games, South
City went 4-1
over the second
half of the season. Its only
loss a 25-17
heartbreaker to
Aragon on Nov.
7 was the only thing standing between
South City and a Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division title. The Warriors finished
in a three-way tie for second place with
Half Moon Bay and Hillsdale, both of
which South City defeated this season.
Hence, South Citys first year head coach
Jay Oca emphasized the importance of the
Bell Game entering into Saturday, fueling
an already fiery rivalry game between the
crosstown schools.
It was our final statement, Oca said.
We feel like were a playoff team. We didnt get to that point but we feel like this
was our playoff game. So we pulled out all
the stops and wanted to perform well.
Townsend delivered as a 6-4, 220-pound
game-changing presence both sides of the
ball. Defense is his ticket to the collegiate
ranks though, as he will likely be playing
Division I football next season. He already
has a full scholarship offer to play at San
Jose State but is intent on waiting until the

Resurgent Cap reclaims Battle of the Strip

Capuchino quarterback Tony Pellegrini

huddled in a postgame circle of teammates
and friends on Mills Carl Reyna Field
proudly recapping the 56th annual Battle of
the Strip.
The picturesque slice of everyday high
school life, however, was anything but nor-

mal for Pellegrini, who wrapped up his

three-year varsity career Saturday by leading Capuchino to a 35-14 win over archrival Mills to reclaim the coveted Battle of
the Strip trophy.
Pellegrini concluded his career in style,
completing 13-of-20 passes for 193 yards
and three touchdown passes. He also ran for
31 yards on six carries while rushing for
Caps other two scores.

And while the Mustangs offensive team

football career having just come to an end,
it was nothing compared to the unguarded
emotion Caps first-year head coach Ben

That guy is awesome, White said. He
plays every play. Hes just a stud. Hes a

When it was announced in February that

49ers nab five INTs in Giants fifth straight loss

By Tom Canavan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Every time

the San Francisco offense opened the door
for the reeling New York Giants, the 49ers
defense closed it.
Rookie linebacker Chris Borland intercepted a fourth-down pass by Eli Manning
at the 49ers 2 with 4:43 to play to cap a
goal-line stand and San Francisco defeated
New York 16-10 Sunday, sending the errorplagued Giants to their fifth straight loss.
Theres no give-up in our guys, said
Borland, who had two of the five interceptions by the 49ers (6-4). We have guys,
veterans, who have been there a lot. When it
was going tough, we just pressed on and
kept looking forward. Back-to-back wins
on the road, were all excited.
It should have been a lot easier. San
Francisco had almost 35 minutes in time of
possession and five takeaways, but it had to
sweat out a first-and-goal from its 4 to win.
Blame that on the 49ers offense. Its contribution against a Giants defense that had
given up 136 points in its last four games
was a 48-yard touchdown pass from Colin

holder Andy Lee could not catch a snap on a

day that 49ers special teams also allowed
New York to recover an onside kick.
It was a spectacular performance by our
defense today, San Francisco coach Jim
Harbaugh said. So many guys stepped up
and played great, living in the moment and
competing like the dickens and making
tremendous and athletic football plays.
The game also marked the return of 49ers
linebacker Aldon Smith, who was active for
the first time after missing the first nine
games because of a suspension.
Manning threw a 19-yard touchdown pass
to tight end Larry Donnell on New Yorks
opening possession, but the Giants (3-7)
only got a field goal from Josh Brown the
rest of the way. After throwing six interceptions in the Giants first nine games,
Manning nearly equaled that number while
tying a single-game career high against the
49ers.
We made it hard for him, Smith said of
Manning, who was hit twice by the linebacker. Making him uncomfortable in the
pocket and moving him around, pressuring
him from everywhere.
The game was decided in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter when Manning
drove the Giants from their 35 to the San
Francisco 4, where they had a first-and-goal

following a spectacular 37-yard leaping

catch by rookie Odell Beckham Jr. over
Perrish Cox.
Three fade patterns to Beckham, Rueben
Randle and Donnell fell incomplete.
Manning tried to force a pass to Preston
Parker on fourth down, but Dontae Johnson
tipped the ball and Borland came up with his
second pick.
Four shots from the 4-yard line - its
inexcusable that we didnt score, Giants
coach Tom Coughlin said.
New York had a chance to take the lead earlier in the quarter, driving to the San Francisco
32. On a second-and-5, Manning and his
receiver seemed a little out of synch and Chris
Culliver intercepted the pass near the 10.
I have to make better throws, said
Manning, who finished 22 of 45 for 280
yards. Its no one elses fault. Ive got to
protect the ball and not turn it over. I turned
it over close a couple of times and that cant
happen.
Michael Wilhoite and Eric Reid also intercepted Manning.
The Giants opening drive kept them in
the game. After recovering a fumble by
Frank Gore (19 rushes for 95 yards) at the
Giants 37, Manning capped a five-play
drive with a 19-yard touchdown pass to
Donnell. It marked the first time in 20
games that New York scored a touchdown on
its opening drive.
After three field goals by Dawson, San
Francisco stretched the lead to 16-7 early in
the third quarter when Kaepernick (15 of 29
for 193 yards) found Crabtree across the
middle and the receiver outran five defenders
for a 48-yard catch-and-run.
Were trying to take advantage of the
opportunities that we have, Kaepernick
said. We know our backs are against the
wall. We have to play every week like its
our last game.
Brown narrowed the gap to 16-10 with a
43-yard field goal midway through the third
quarter and New York seemingly got a boost
when it recovered the ensuing onside kick.
However, the offense faltered and New York
did not make the plays down the stretch.
NOTES: Borland had a team-high 12 tackles and also defended three passes. He and
Wilhoite are the first two 49ers linebackers
to make interceptions in the same game
since Nov. 12, 1995, when Rickey Jackson
and Lee Woodall did it against Dallas.

Raiders cant solve San Diego

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO When the sun rises

Monday, it will have been a year since the
Oakland Raiders won a game.
The Raiders lost their 16th straight overall
the equivalent of a full season when
they were defeated 13-6 by the lackluster San
Diego Chargers on Sunday.
Although Oaklands defense played decently against Philip Rivers and the Chargers
offense, there still wasnt much to say.
We did not get the win. Its all bad, safety Charles Woodson said.
Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to
Malcom Floyd on the games third play from
scrimmage, and the Chargers held on to snap
their three-game losing streak.
Oakland fell to 0-10. Monday is the oneyear anniversary of its last win, 28-23 at
Houston.
Its tough, man, Woodson said. Its
hard. Its been a long time since this team
has felt a victory. We are all feeling it. You
try to keep a positive attitude and keep a
smile on your face to keep from crying. Its
the nature of the business. We are not the
first team to be going through this, and we
will find a way to get out of it somehow.
The Raiders had pulled within seven points
late in the game when the Chargers came up
with a huge play on third-and-3, with tight
end Antonio Gates tipping a pass to himself
between safeties Woodson and Brandian
Ross for a 15-yard gain to the Oakland 45.
Woodson was in position to break it up or
intercept it.
Thats a play I should have made,
Woodson said. I felt I let the team down. I

dont know how many

times I caught balls like
that. ... Thats how the
seasons going. Its been
that close a lot of times.
A desperation pass by
Raiders rookie Derek Carr
fell incomplete short of
the end zone as time
expired.
Charles
Carr was 16 of 34 for
Woodson
172 yards.
Obviously there is a lot of anger, Carr
said. Obviously there is a lot of disappointment. But no ones giving up; no one is
going to give up.
Rivers hurt his right leg midway through
the third quarter but stayed in the game.
Rivers also had the wind knocked out of him
and was walking gingerly on the sideline in
the fourth as backup Kellen Clemens warmed
up.
Rivers went back in after Sebastian
Janikowski kicked a 25-yard field goal to
pull the Raiders within a touchdown with four
minutes to play.
The Chargers (6-4) welcomed back Ryan
Mathews, Manti Teo and Melvin Ingram,
who had been out since September.
Rivers was hurt after a 28-yard completion
to Floyd was negated by a holding call
against left tackle King Dunlap. The
Chargers had to settle for Nick Novaks 52yard field goal that made it 13-3.
Oakland got to the San Diego 7 with 4:10
left, but the drive stalled and Janikowski
kicked his 25-yarder.
The Chargers were coming off their bye,
which was preceded by a 37-0 loss at Miami
on Nov. 2, their worst in 18 seasons.

Bulldogs playoff hopes crushed with loss to CCSF

By Mike Lemaire
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Needing a win Saturday to ensure its spot

in the California Community College
Athletic Association football playoffs, No.
2 College of San Mateo learned the hard way
that can be tough to do when the team keeps
shooting itself in the foot.
CSMs top-ranked rushing attack never
really got on track against the stifling
defense of No. 3 City College of San
Francisco and, more importantly, the
Bulldogs turned the ball over four times in
Rams territory as CCSF (5-0 in Bay 6, 9-1
overall) coasted to a 23-7 win. The win
helped the Rams claim the Bay 6 League
title and clinch Northern California's top
seed in next weeks playoffs while the loss
left the Bulldogs on the outside of the playoffs looking in despite its 8-2 record and
lofty perch in the power rankings.
The Bulldogs (4-1, 8-2) entered the game
averaging more than 250 yards per game on
the ground but managed just 73 yards rushing as CCSF loaded the box to stop the
option and swarmed to the ball. Despite the
Rams stingy defense, CSM still had plenty
of opportunities to get back into the game.
But four times the Bulldogs marched inside
the Rams 35-yard line and four times they
came away with nothing thanks to three
costly interceptions and a lost fumble.
After the game, it was hard for CSM head
coach Brett Pollack to find many other reasons why his team had come up short.
We had four red zone chances and you just
cant expect to do that and still win the football game, Pollack said. We had our
chances to score, we just didnt execute the
plays very well and you saw what happened
because of that.
The first half was mostly a defensive
standoff as both teams struggled to find any
rhythm on offense. Bulldogs pass-rushers
Adam Sagapolu and Randy Allen combined
to sack Rams quarterback Anthony
Rodriguez three times. The Bulldogs also

The Bulldogs made a conscious effort to

get the ball to their bigger receivers to start
the second half. They did have success
doing that, getting the ball down to the
CCSF 21-yard line on its first drive of the
second half. But the Bulldogs once again
came away with zero points when Miles
Willis fumbled the ball back to CCSF on
third down. After the fumble, CCSF needed
just two plays to move the ball into
Bulldogs territory. And on the third play of
the drive, Rams running back Elijah Dale
scampered 38 yards to score the gameclinching touchdown.
The Rams started to use their size on the
offensive line to their advantage in the second half as they continued to pound the run
and wear down the Bulldogs defense. In
fact, CCSF ran for 213 yards in the game
and Dale did the yeomans work, rushing 30
times for 153 yards and the touchdown.
They dominated time of possession and
our defense played way too many snaps in
the second half, Pollack said. I havent
seen the stats yet but we left them out there
for too long and thats why [CCSF] was able
to run the ball effectively and wear us
down.
Saturdays matchup was both a de facto
league title and elimination game, especially once it became clear American River was
going to beat Sacramento. Each CCSF and

DEA agents raid NFL medical staffs after games

By Jim Litke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Federal drug enforcement agents showed up

unannounced Sunday to check at least three
visiting NFL teams medical staffs as part of
an investigation into former players claims
that teams mishandled prescription drugs.
There were no arrests, Drug Enforcement
Administration spokesman Rusty Payne said
Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers staff was
checked at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford,
New Jersey, after they played the New York
Giants. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff was
checked
at
Baltimore-Washington
International airport after playing the
Redskins. The Seattle Seahawks, who played at
Kansas City, confirmed via the teams Twitter
account that they were spot-checked as well.
The operation was still ongoing, and other
teams may be checked later Sunday, Payne
said.
DEA agents are currently interviewing
NFL team doctors in several locations as part
of an ongoing investigation into potential

PANTHERS
Continued from page 11
San Mateo accomplished one of those
goals as the Bearcats held the Panthers to
just 112 yards rushing. Barry Palu led the
Burlingame ground attack with 93 yards on
11 carries. Griffin Intrieri, who was averaging just under 110 yards rushing per game,
was held to just 6 yards on 10 carries and
fumbled the ball away twice.
They were all over Griff. They wanted to
do one thing and that was to stop No. 34 and
they did, Philipopoulos said. But when
you go all out to stop one person, it opens
things up for other people.
Griffin did manage to get into the scoring

violations of the (Controlled Substances

Act), Payne said.
The spot checks were done by investigators
from the federal DEA. They did not target specific teams, but were done to measure whether
visiting NFL clubs were generally in compliance with federal law. Agents requested documentation from visiting teams medical staffs
for any controlled substances in their possession, and for proof that doctors could practice
medicine in the home teams state.
Our teams cooperated with the DEA today
and we have no information to indicate that
irregularities were found, NFL spokesman
Brian McCarthy said in an email.
The nationwide probe is being directed by
the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York where the NFL is
headquartered but involves several U.S.
attorneys offices.
The investigation was sparked by a lawsuit
filed in May on behalf of former NFL players
going back to 1968. The number of plaintiffs
has grown to more than 1,200, including
dozens who played as recently as 2012. Any

violations of federal drug laws from 2009 forward could also become the subject of a criminal investigation because they would not be
subject to the five-year statute of limitations.
This is an unprecedented raid on a professional sports league, said Steve
Silverman, one of the attorneys for the former players. I trust the evidence reviewed
and validated leading up to this action was
substantial and compelling.
Federal prosecutors have conducted interviews in at least three cities over the past three
weeks, spending two days in Los Angeles in
late October meeting with a half-dozen former
players including at least two who were
named plaintiffs in the painkillers lawsuit,
according to multiple people with direct
knowledge of the meetings who spoke on the
condition of anonymity because prosecutors
told them not to comment on the meetings.
The lawsuit alleges the NFL and its teams,
physicians and trainers acted without regard
for players health, withholding information
about injuries while at the same time handing
out prescription painkillers such as Vicodin

and Percocet, and anti-inflammatories such as

Toradol, to mask pain and minimize lost
playing time. The players contend some
teams filled out prescriptions in players
names without their knowledge or consent,
then dispensed those drugs according to
one plaintiffs lawyer like candy at
Halloween, along with combining them in
cocktails.
Several former players interviewed by The
Associated Press described the line of teammates waiting to get injections on game day
often spilling out from the training room.
Others recounted flights home from games
where trainers walked down the aisle and
players held up a number of fingers to indicate
how many pills they wanted.
The controlled substance act says only doctors and nurse practitioners can dispense prescription drugs, and only in states where they
are licensed. The act also lays out stringent
requirements for acquiring, labeling, storing
and transporting drugs. Trainers who are not
licensed would be in violation of the law simply by carrying a controlled substance.

column as he took a dump off pass from quarterback Avery Gindraux who was just
about to be sacked and turned it into a 49yard touchdown as he weaved his way
through traffic for a 7-0 Burlingame lead.
That first touchdown was a broken play,
Philipopoulos said. Sometimes you need
that to happen (to win).
After that, it was the Gindraux Brothers
Show, as senior quarterback Avery Gindraux
and junior wide receiver Cooper Gindraux
showed what a lifetime of playing catch can
do.
Avery Gindraux was on point in the first
half, completing his first five passes
three of which went for touchdowns.
Avery Gindraux finished the game with
167 yards on 7 of 14 passing.
Cooper Gindraux was the main recipient of
his older brothers prowess as he caught
three first-half passes for 92 yards and a pair

of touchdowns. Cooper Gindraux would finish with five catches for 113 yards and two
scores in earning the games Most Valuable
Player honors.
Ever since we were little, hes been
throwing me passes, said Cooper Gindraux.
We communicate really well.
After gaining 21 yards on his first reception, Cooper Gindraux gave the Panthers a
14-0 lead when he hauled in an Avery
Gindraux pass in the end zone from 19 yards
away.
The two hooked up again on the first play
of the Panthers next possession. Both
Gindraux brothers saw the Bearcats were
playing press defense on Cooper. Avery
changed the play at the line of scrimmage to
a go pattern to Cooper down the left sideline. Avery put it for grabs, Cooper came
down with it, juked the defender and went the
rest of the way for a 48-yard score and a 210 Burlingame lead.
Hes been unbelievable, Philipopoulos
said of Cooper Gindraux. The chemistry
between he and his brother is something
Ive ever seen before.
Then the momentum shifted. San Mateo
finally put a drive together, going 72 yards
on 11 plays, with quarterback Line Latu
hooking up Finau Malekamu for a 17-yard
score.
Just over a minute later, the Bearcats
scored again to cut the Burlingame lead to
21-14. Intrieri was tackled in the backfield
and had the ball stripped. San Mateos
Memo Gomez was Johnny On The Spot as he

scooped up the loose ball and rumbled 39

yard for the touchdown.
Gomez added a fourth-quarter interception
to give the Bearcats one last shot at a touchdown.
He played helluva a game, Scheller said
of Gomezs play. He gave us opportunities
on the other side of the ball.
Leading 21-14 at halftime, Burlingame
took the second-half kickoff and drove to
the San Mateo 7-yard line before the drive
stalled and the Panthers had to settle for a
26-yard Casey Kiernan field goal.
The two teams then traded punts, but San
Mateos Alfred Lewis made the Panthers pay
with his return. He scooped the ball up on
the bounce at his own 36-yard line. He used
some fancy footwork along the left sideline
before finding a diagonal seam across the
field and went into the end zone for a 64-yard
score and the Bearcats were down just three,
24-21, with 2:09 left to play in the third
quarter.
San Mateo appeared to be back in business
right away as the Panthers fumbled the ball
away on their next play from scrimmage, but
George Delegans got the ball right back for
Burlingame, intercepting a pass on the very
next play.
The Panthers turned that pick into the
game-deciding touchdown as they drove 59
yards on nine plays, with Palu barging into
the end zone from a yard out for a 30-21
Burlingame lead.

Currys 30 leads Warriors to big win over Kobe, Lakers

By Joe Resnick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The Golden State

Warriors got off to such a fast start, they
gave Kobe Bryant no other choice but to
keep shooting the ball to keep the Los
Angeles Lakers within striking distance.
Stephen Curry had 30 points and 15
assists, Marreese Speights added 24 points,
and the Warriors cruised to a 136-115 victory Sunday night despite 44 points by the
36-year-old Bryant.
I think that just says that hes still Kobe
and he can get 44. As long as it doesnt hurt
us too much and the games going our way,
then were going to play him straight up,
coach Steve Kerr said. Kobes Kobe, and
hes always going to score no matter how
old he is. Im sure its tough on him, but
hes such a competitor.
Andrew Bogut had 15 points and 10
rebounds for the Pacific Division-leading
Warriors, who are off to an 8-2 start in
Kerrs first season. Klay Thompson, who
had 41 points in a win against the Lakers on
Nov. 1, finished with 18 in the rematch.
They came out and knocked down shots
and put us in a hole pretty quick, Bryant
said. Were not getting back in transition
and giving up a lot of points. Weve got to
give ourselves an opportunity to play halfcourt defense. ... Theyre running the ball
and shooting in transition in 5 seconds
before you really get an opportunity.
Bryant, who sat out the fourth quarter with
Los Angeles down by 36 points, was 15 for

11 rebounds and blocked three shots for the
Cardinal (2-0). Anthony Brown added 11

GARY A. VASQUEZ/USA TODAY SPORTS

Steph Curry glides past Kobe Bryant in the Warriors 136-115 win Sunday night at the Staples
Center. Curry had 30 points and 15 assists to trump Bryants 44 points.

The Warriors opened the game with a 15-6

run and increased the margin to 19 on a 3pointer by Andre Iguodala with 2:49 left in
the first quarter.
We had a great start to the game, Curry
said. We were focused at both ends of the
floor and we made it as tough as possible on
them at the defensive end. Our defense definitely made Kobe make some tough ones. If
you make him work, hopefully youll wear
him down. And we were able to do that.
Bryant was struck in face by Draymond
Green while trying to pass the ball with
5:22 left in the half, and lay on the floor for
several anxious moments while he was
attended to by trainer Gary Vitti.
The Lakers got no closer than 14 after
that. Bryant hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit
to 64-50 with 2:04 left in the second quarter, but Curry responded with a driving
layup and a 3-pointer 20 seconds apart.
Thats a good a job at point guard as Ive
ever seen, what Steph did tonight managing the game, being aggressive at the right
times, taking care of the ball and finding
guys, Kerr said. I think hes the best in
the NBA right now at that position.
Notes: The Warriors led by as many as 38
points on Speights dunk with 1:13 left in
the third quarter. The Warriors largest margin of victory ever over the Lakers was 39
points on Nov. 11, 1966, in a 132-93 victory at San Francisco.
Curry is the first player to score at least
20 points in each of the teams first eight
games since 1994, when Latrell Sprewell
did it in the first nine.

34 from the field in 31 minutes two

nights after he played sick against the
Phoenix Suns and missed his first 10 shots
before finishing 1 for 14 with nine points.
Id rather get guys involved early. Thats
always the intent, Bryant said. But when
you go down 10-12 points in the hole, man,
Ive got to try to keep us in the ball game at
some point. The responsibility is on me. I

mean, when things go good, its us. When

things go bad, its me.
Jordan Hill had 15 points and 11 rebounds
for the Lakers, off to a franchise-worst 1-9
start despite Bryants 27.3-point scoring
average.
Four players scored in double digits in the
first half for Golden State en route to a 74-55
lead, including Speights with a team-high 16.

give the Bears a 6-5 edge.
With M-A advancing its lead to 10-7, Joos

rotated back into the front row though, the
senior dominated. She worked the left side
while defensive specialist Jacqueline DiSanto
went on a six-point service run to extend MAs lead to 15-9.
My hitters were amazing, Knapp said. I
think they won the game for us. They really

proud of all of them.
Joos went on to total eight kills in the set but
finished by scoring game point with her first of
three match blocks. The big kill total was just
one facet of her performance. Senior defensive
specialist Kaitlin Tavarez had 13 match digs to
lead M-As passing game, but Joos tabbed 12
digs to record the double-double.
We come in every day and we put big focus
on [passing] as a team, Joos said. Its kind

Sharks brief

San Jose 3, Vancouver 0

RALEIGH, N.C. San Jose rookie goalkeeper Troy Grosenick stopped everything
the Carolina Hurricanes threw at him in a 20 win on Sunday.
Grosenick, making his NHL debut, made
45 stops to earn his first win. He became the
22nd NHL goalkeeper to earn a shutout in
his first start. John Gibson of the Anaheim
Ducks was the last to accomplish the feat
when he shut out the Vancouver Canucks 3-

in his first year as Caps quarterback, including the Mustangs worst loss to Mills since
1996 in the season finale. So when White
arrived, he addressed a Mustangs offense in
disarray with CDs containing game footage
from his final season last year at Exeter
High School. That was the start of White
overhauling not just Caps offense, but the
teams football culture.
This year with Coach White, he has all
my respect in the world, Pellegrini said.
He turned around this program and I cant
thank him enough, and all the coaches.
Under White, the Mustangs went from a
one-win season to a 6-4 overall record,
including a 4-1 record in Peninsula Athletic
League Lake Division play to take second
place behind undefeated Kings Academy.
We came in second in league, White said.
We only lost to Kings Academy, (a) private
school. So, if it would have been public
schools, wed be going to the playoffs.
As rivalry games are prone to do though,
Saturdays season finale at Mills had the feel
of a playoff atmosphere. And the Mustangs
delivered, despite their offensive and defensive line getting shaken up in the opening
minutes when senior lineman Josiah
Tumanuvao-Hata was ejected on Caps first
possession for intentionally shoving the
facemask of an opposing player after a play

0 on April 17, 2013.

I didnt feel like it was too terribly tough
of a game, said Grosenick, who was called
up from Worcester Sharks of the AHL on
Wednesday. Its going to be really special
to go back on it.
It was San Joses third shutout of the season and the first since winning back-toback shutouts to start the season.
Tomas Hertl scored for the Sharks for his

That completely threw us off because
Josiah, he should be up for Defensive Player
of the Year in our league, White said. To
lose him initially hes probably our best
offensive lineman at the time too we had
to overcome a lot of adversity.
To compensate, Cap revamped its offensive line on the fly. And after regaining possession midway through the first quarter near
midfield, the Mustangs swiftly moved the
ball 49 yards on four plays, including a big
19-yard run by senior Gabe Campos, who
totaled a game-high 104 yards on 13 carries.
Pellegrini capped the drive with a 21-yard
touchdown pass to junior Damien Jacobs.
On the play, Pellegrini rolled out and saw
plenty of open field to run, but he coolly
bided his time until Jacobs got open on a
deep cross route in the end zone.
Mills went ahead briefly in the second
quarter. With go-to running back Kendric
Meleisea-Smith not taking any carries until
the Vikings fourth possession, the senior
shouldered the rushing load on a five-play,
61-yard drive with carries of 6, 6, 3 and 5
yards. The big play of the drive was a 41yard pass from quarterback Marquis Adkins
to Kirk Baril. Then Meleisea-Smith reached
the end zone on the next play, a play-action
pitch which saw him jog in untouched.
Cap reclaimed the lead before halftime
though, driving right back downfield. A
short 7-yard Pellegrini pass on third down
gave the Mustangs new life. Then he recovered his own fumble after bootlegged for 14
yards across midfield, before throwing passes of 32 and 22 yards, the latter of which he

made his way up the sideline for the score to
stake Cap to a 12-7 lead.
In the second half, Cap scored on each of
its first three possessions to take a commanding lead. Pellegrini hit Juan Rodriguez
for a 24-yard score in the third quarter; the
quarterback then connected with Jacobs for a
2-point conversion to take a 20-7 lead. Then
to start the fourth quarter, Pellegrini punctuated a 10-play, 52-yard drive with a 1-yard
quarterback sneak to go up 27-7. With just
under four minutes remaining, Pellegrini
took a 6-yard keeper to the house with a lead
block from Campos for a 35-7 lead.
Meanwhile, Caps defense led by a
breakout performance by nickel back Sean
OGrady in just his second start of the year
turned in a splendid performance, holding
Mills to 209 total yards on the game most
of which were produced by Adkins, who
threw for 106 yards on 13-of-19 completions and ran for 54 yards on 12 carries,
including a 31-yard touchdown run on the
final play of his varsity career.
Cap senior defensive end Donavan Hooker
said Adkins was giving the D-line fits all day.
For us ends, [the job] was just to push
back the tackles and keep the outside contained, Hooker said. But that was kind of
hard because we couldnt get past the tackles, and he was just running past us.
For Mills head coach Mike Krieger, the
contest turned into a game of perseverance
more than performance.

First halves were strong, were solid; and

then were tired, Krieger said. Weve got
too many guys going both ways. Weve got
23 guys in gear. So, it starts to get to us.
Mills sustained a key injury midway
through the year to Meleisea-Smith, who
returned in Week 9 against El Camino, but he
was not 100 percent even against Cap,
according to Krieger.
We know [Meleisea-Smith] is a difference-maker for our football team, but its a
matter of trying to run our offense and setting the tone, Krieger said. Were going to
get the ball in our quarterbacks hands. He
kind of fuels our offense more than any one
running back. That was the idea.
It was a tough go for Mills without
Meleisea-Smith though. After opening the
season with four straight wins, the Vikings
went winless over their last six games.
We started off great, Krieger said. I
think we certainly played tougher competition as the season went along. And as the
season went along our bench got shorter.
With the win, Cap improves its all-time
record against Mills in the Battle of the
Strip rivalry to 35-21. According to
Pellegrini, the trajectory of Caps rebound
season had everything to do with the new
coach.
He took a lot of pressure off of us,
because its hard going from offense to
offense after a losing season, Pellegrini
said. He took it all on himself and he did a
great job, obviously, going 6-4.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Tennis brief

potential blow to Switzerlands

Davis Cup ambitions.

LONDON Roger Federer pulled

out of the ATP Finals less than one
hour before his title match against

Novak Djokovic on Sunday, handing a third straight title in this event

to the top-ranked Serb and dealing a

OTL

to cause a fumble which was

recovered by
South City senior defensive
tackle Nate
Opiana.
Townsend
went on to
record a big secTerrell
ond half. He set
Townsend
the tone at the
beginning of the third quarter by
pairing with junior defensive
tackle Tuvai Tuitasi to record a
sack. Later, Townsend batted a
pass when he timed his rush to a
bootleg rollout to perfection.
Then, late in the game, he produced another sack, dropping the
Colts for a 10-yard loss to pin
them to their own 2-yard line.
South Citys dominant finish
was a fitting close to Townsends
career, through which he has persevered a daily commute from his
Hayward home. Originally born in
San Francisco, Townsends family
relocated to the East Bay when he
was 4. However, his mother works
in South San Francisco, making
Townsend eligible for an inter-district transfer.
To attend school at South City,
Townsend is driven to school every
day, leaving Hayward at approximately 6:50 a.m. On most days,
following football practice, he gets
home between 7-7:30 p.m., except
once a week when he has to return
home via BART, which doesnt
touch down in Hayward until
approximately 9 p.m.
Townsend will maintain the
schedule through the winter, as he
intends to play varsity basketball
for the second straight year. For
Townsend who proclaims to
love football so much, he doesnt
even watch television or play
video games unless they are football related his commitment to
hoops is just a mode for working
on his footwork and stamina to
improve his game on the gridiron.
It was something I wanted to
do to keep myself active in the
offseason, Townsend said.
Everything I do is focused on
football.

Federer bows out of ATP

options.
Whichever school lands the
2012 PAL Ocean Division
Defensive Player of the Year will
be lucky to have him, according
to Oca.
Hes a model football player,
Oca said. Hes a player every
coach wants to have and were
happy hes moving on to bigger
and better things.
Saturday, it was evident from
the outset what Townsends presence can do to shape a game.
The Colts learned their lesson
from the previous year when
Townsend produced a clutch stop
in the games closing seconds. In
the famed 19-18 South City win
of 2013 a game after which, to
the shock of the Warriors players,
longtime coach Frank Moro
announced his retirement South
City punctuated the season with a
clutch goal-line stand. The Colts
were ultimately forced to attempt a
field goal, which they missed on
the games final play to seal the
win for the Warriors.
It was one of the best football
games Ive ever been a part of,
Townsend said.
So, to start this years game, El
Camino played keep-away during
its first possession, running to
the opposite side of Townsend on
every play until they were forced
to punt.
I was thinking, this is going
to be a boring game, Townsend
said. They didnt run to me at all.
But things got exciting in a
hurry. After South City running
back Eric Kamelamela ran for a
49-yard score to get the Warriors
on the board, the Colts opened
the ensuing drive by running to
Townsends side. And he was
ready. Not only did he storm the
backfield to hit El Camino for a
loss, Townsend stripped the ball

The 17-time Grand Slam champion said he hurt his back in the nearly three-hour semifinal win over

Davis Cup teammate Stan

Wawrinka on Saturday night in
which Federer saved four match
points.
Fans appeared to be supportive
with applause for Federer.

Federer is set to play for

Switzerland in the Davis Cup final
against France, starting Friday. If
he recovers in time, Federer will be
chasing the only major trophy
still eluding him.

Dumb and Dumber To tops box office with $38.1M

By Jake Coyle

Top 10 movies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK At the movies, idiocy

never goes out of style.
Twenty years after the 1994 original,
Dumb and Dumber To opened with $38.1
million at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The
Universal sequel debuted almost exactly two
decades after the Farrelly brothers first
introduced the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels
low-IQ duo.
Dumb and Dumber To edged out the animated Disney adventure Big Hero 6,
which took in $36 million in its second
week. Christopher Nolans sci-fi epic
Interstellar slid to third in its second week
with an estimated $29.2 million. The film
continues to blast off overseas, where it
took in $106 million over the weekend,
with sales particularly boosted by a strong
opening in China.
The top three films took up the lion share
of the box office, with the no. 4 film, the
romance Beyond the Lights, opening
with a distant $6.5 million.
In a Hollywood constantly updating,
rebooting and sequalizing old properties,
Dumb and Dumber To was still unique. In
between installments, there was also a
2003 prequel, though it was made with different actors and wasnt directed by Bobby
and Peter Farrelly.
This was a gamble, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for

Its always a risky move to wait this

New video of MH17 downing shows alarm in Ukraine

By Mstyslav Chernov
and Peter Leonard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HRABOVE, Ukraine Four

months after Malaysia Airlines
Flight 17 was shot down over
rebel-held eastern Ukraine, The
Associated Press has obtained
video that shows how close the
burning passenger jet came to hitting village homes and suggests
that residents first assumed it was
a Ukrainian military plane that
had been struck.
The amateur footage, filmed by a
resident of Hrabove, shows people reacting in alarm as wreckage
blazes only a few meters away
from their homes on the afternoon
of July 17. The video is perhaps
the first taken immediately after
the plane came down.
The ultimate cause of the MH17
disaster is the subject of major
diplomatic disputes. Ukraine and
Western government say Russiabacked separatist fighters fired the

Better strategies sought

to curb domestic violence
By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

On a high school football field near

Pittsburgh, an assistant coach tackled a
topic unrelated to the upcoming game.
One of the biggest components of being
a man is how you treat females, Kevin
Murray told his players at Woodland Hills
High. Wed be doing you a very big disservice by not holding you accountable.
At the jailhouse in High Point, North
Carolina, a sterner version of that message
is now given routinely to men detained for
domestic-violence offenses and considered
at risk of re-offending.
Were putting these guys on notice that
domestic violence is not going to be tolerated here, said Police Chief Marty Sumner.
The message is very clear: We know who
you are, we know what youre doing. It has
to stop.
The two programs target different audiences. But in the realm of domestic-violence prevention, where the record of success is spotty, they share a status as two of
the nations most promising initiatives.

Coaching Boys Into Men is one of the

flagship programs developed by Futures
Without Violence, a nonprofit working to
curb abuse of women and children.
Thousands of high school coaches across
the country, now joined by some middle
school coaches, have received training in
how to convey to their players the importance of treating young women with respect
and avoiding abusive behavior.
The program has attracted the notice of
the Centers for Disease Control and

U.S. State Dept computers

hacked, email shut down
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The State Department

has taken the unprecedented step of shutting down its entire unclassified email system as technicians repair possible damage
from a suspected hacker attack.
A senior department official said Sunday
that activity of concern was detected in
the system around the same time as a previously reported incident that targeted the
White House computer network. That incident was made public in late October, but
there was no indication then that the State
Department had been affected. Since then, a
number of agencies, including the U.S.
Postal Service and the National Weather
Service,
have
reported
attacks.
The official said none of
the State Departments classified systems were affected.
However, the official said the
department shut down its
worldwide email late on

Friday as part of a scheduled outage of some

of its Internet-linked systems to make security improvements to its main unclassified
computer network. The official was not
authorized to speak about the matter by
name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official said the department expects
that all of its systems will be operating as
normal in the near future, but would not discuss who might be responsible for the
breach. Earlier attacks have been blamed on
Russian or Chinese attackers, although
their origin has never been publicly confirmed.
The State Department is expected to
address the shutdown once the security
improvements have been completed on
Monday or Tuesday.

the whereabouts of the pilot. This

is significant because multiple
Ukrainian military planes had
been shot down by this time, and
their pilots and crew regularly
taken prisoner by rebel forces.
Three days before the MH17 was
brought down, rebels claimed
responsibility for shooting down
an Antonov-24 military transport
plane.
The downing of MH17 stunned
Ukrainian defense officials. They
argued that the aircraft must have
been targeted by Russian fighter
jets, as it was flying at an altitude of
6,500 meters (21,300 feet), far
beyond the reach of the Igla portable
surface-to-air missiles then being
used by rebel fighters. The plane was
flying at 10,000 meters (33,000
feet) when it was hit.
On the day after the Antonov-24
was downed, the Moscow-based
LifeNews television channel
broadcast the questioning by
rebels of a man identified as the
Ukrainian planes pilot.

MAGNET
Continued from page 1
Montessori group presented a solution to
the Board of Trustees Thursday that set up
a K-8 program on two nearby campuses,
North Shoreview and Parkside with 350450 students each. The program would be
application only, meaning its not a
neighborhood school. Currently, there are
415 students in the TK-5 program at North
Shoreview and 400 students total,
between the STEAM and Montessori programs, at Parkside. Enrollment would
include a percentage of neighborhood students by lottery and there would be special
education classes on both campuses.
Hosting a Montessori teacher-training
program could also be a huge attraction to
the district. A big advantage of
Montessori is that its least impactful to
facilities upgrade requirements, according
to a staff report.
It was not the first option, it was the last
option, said Alyssa Moore, a member of
the Montessori Task Force and North
Shoreview Montessori parent. Through
due diligence, this is the best option for the
Montessori community. We were sensitive
to other communities.
Other North Shoreview Montessori parents are happy with the recommendation,
including Mark Henderson, who was part of
the Montessori Task Force.
We came to an unexpected solution that
seems to work in a lot of different ways, he
said. There is some urgency for this since
there are 75 kids who want to continue
Montessori into the sixth-grade and theres
not enough space.
Having a space on the east side of

Highway 101 close to the wetlands that is

part of the science curriculum makes a lot of
sense for Montessori programming, noted
Phyllis Harrison, principal at North
Shoreview Montessori.
Others, like parent Karen Sell, want to
make sure magnet schools are still able to
balance the equity issues in the district. The
district Next Steps Advisory Committee
that is exploring overcrowding defined
equity as the district providing equal access
to maximum opportunities for each district
student, along with providing the students
community support.

New ways of learning

Meanwhile, on the STEAM side of things,
the district worked with the San Mateo
County Office of Education at no cost to
explore options for the future of STEAM
programming. One option is working with
the Mastery Design Collaborative to
reimagine schools to focus on technology use to implement personal learning,
rotational learning environments, datadriven planning and other plans. The development team recommends one districtwide
program with 800 students on one campus.
It would be a neighborhood school located
on the current Bayside campus which currently houses 650 students and full
implementation would take place in 201617, according to the staff report.
Whatever comes were going to take care
of your kids, said Bayside math teacher
Karen Evans. With the mastery program, I
want to make sure we move forward carefully because its only been around for six to
eight years and theres no research to show
if its effective. We should be talking to
them with a critical eye.

Community input
Some community members are concerned
that not all communities were involved in
the committees and that the meetings were
closed to the public. Going explained the
meetings were confidential because the
potential decisions were sensitive and could
affect various subgroups in the district.
Several Bayside parents expressed frustrations about not being included in the
process.
Its frustrating as a sixth-grade parent at
Bayside that this has been going on for
nine months and for us, we only heard about
this a week ago, said parent Janet
Copeland.
A concern for Bayside physical education
teacher Doug Silva was the potential for
overcrowding.
Parents from other schools were concerned about their lack of involvement in
the
process,
including
Highlands
Elementary School parent Nancy Hsieh.
I see a lack of transparency in the information sharing process, she said.
Keeping meetings secret goes against
board policy. Parents at other schools will
be directly impacted. It was a done deal with
the Montessori last year.

Trustee questions
An important thing missing from the recommendations information on the costs of
adding space for these programs, said
Trustee Chelsea Bonini. For example, she
wanted to know the cost per Montessori
classroom added.
My understanding its hard to make a real
estimate, Bonini said.
Still, Bonini would like to see an estimate
to facilities they need to change to make the
movement from campus to campus. One

THE DAILY JOURNAL

thing that was pointed out was that Parkside
would need a larger meeting area.
Thats a large item that would probably
only be accomplished by a bond, she said.
Meanwhile, trustees like Ed Coady also
raised concerns about what the potential
impact on traffic would be to schools like
Parkside, which already have traffic issues.
If the board were to support these proposals, it would need to study the details of
implementation on enrollment, curriculum,
furniture, facilities and staff, according to
the staff report.
Additionally, there were assumptions used
to determine capacity for the proposals,
including the fact middle schools will start
using classrooms for all seven periods to
address capacity concerns districtwide.
Bayside will continue to enroll students in
the Gifted and Talented Education and
Mandarin programs. Other assumptions
included, no K-4 students will be involuntarily displaced from North Shoreview or
Parkside, while all fifth-grade students currently enrolled in a Montessori program
will have a place in the sixth-grade at one of
the two proposed sites.
There will be a program information
meeting to all STEAM and STEM parents 6
p. m. Nov. 17 at Parkside Elementary
School, 1685 Eisenhower St. in San Mateo
and at North Shoreview Elementary School,
1301 Cypress Ave. in San Mateo, 7 p.m.
Nov. 18. The school board has not determined when it will vote on the recommendations, Superintendent Cynthia Simms said.

Members of the Board of Trustees are
sad to see Laurence go, including board
President Linda Lees Dwyer.
Its very disappointing, she said.
The information is all brand new to us.
We have so much work to do and Scott
has so much work to do. We need to
keep focused on all of our goals at the
same time.
During Laurences time as superintendent, there have been various challenges with which to deal, including the
struggle to find facilities to house
schools like the new Design Tech High
School, Peninsula Alternative High
School and the district office when very
few properties are available along the
Peninsula. This past year, the co-location of Design Tech at Mills High
School caused some parents to speak
out about their concern for what they
described as a lack of transparency in
the placement of the school on the
Mills campus. In 2013, the district also
dealt with the invalidation of 641
invalidated Mills High School

HISTORY
Continued from page 3
1877, the Central Pacic railroad built
a 350-foot-long wood structure the
Union Depot and Ferry House. The
building was actually a series of long
sheds with a roof on it and a clock
tower. Addition of a new structure 250
feet to the east became a necessity due
to the building of three ferry slips, four
boat slips and three more slips. In
1883, the dock became a transit hub
for the Southern Pacic Railroads
Market Street Cable Railway.
The sites for berthing the ferries
were primitive by modern standards at
rst but improved, up-to-date facilities

were injured.
The collision closed three lanes of
the highway, resulting in significant
traffic delays, he said.

San Jose police chiefs

pay 49ers for free tickets
Top San Jose Police Department
officials have paid the San Francisco
49ers for free preseason tickers after
the gifts sparked anonymous complaints to the citys independent
police monitor.
The San Jose Mercury News reports

23

that Chief Larry Esquivel and Assistant

Chief Eddie Garcia received the tickets
last year as part of the teams annual
law enforcement appreciation day.
But the free passes came under scrutiny after it became known that an offduty sergeant who provides freelance
security for the 49ers was at defensive
lineman Ray McDonalds house when
the player was arrested for alleged
domestic violence. Prosecutors decided last week not to charge McDonald.
City spokesman David Vossbrink
tells the Mercury News the chiefs made
a mistake in taking the tickets because
employees are not allowed to accept
tickets to sporting events or any gifts
worth more than $50.

Advanced Placement test scores over

irregular seating arrangements. Over
the last several years, the city of
Burlingame and district have been in
conflict over maintenance of the
Burlingame High School pool.
Laurence said its important to prepare for Common Core with its technology and testing system needs but
acknowledged the ongoing struggle to
find room for facilities.
We need to really work hard to finish
the property searches for Peninsula,
d.Tech and the district office, he said.
Others noted that Laurence will be a
tough act to follow, including board
Vice President Marc Friedman.
I think the whole board tried to convince to him to stay, Friedman said.
Well do a comprehensive search and
get input from the whole community,
teachers, staff, the parents. Its a big
district; Id want to see a superintendent
who is passionate about academic
achievement and is also a strong manager of financials and people.
Laurence said he is most proud of
three things during his time in the district. The first is being able to support
all students in the district.
A huge range of students have
become more academically involved,
he said.

Another thing hes proud of is setting

up professional development to handle
the Common Core standards.
It will be a wonderful transformation, he said. (Im proud of) The fact
that when I started there seemed to be a
little bit of turmoil and weve been able
to focus on what we do, which is academic achievement and kind of calm
things down.
A search will commence around
January 2015 for his replacement,
Laurence said. After Laurences departure
from the district, he is considering educational employment opportunities closer
to home, according to the press release.
Its best for everybody if somebody
is in place before I leave, he said. Its
a wonderful place to work, so I believe
there will be a lot of qualified people
interested in working in the district.
Im going to miss the people. I made a
lot of professional relationships that I
work with on a daily basis. Its a great
community and thats probably what
Ill miss the most.
Its always good to have a new set of
eyes, Laurence noted.
It will be good for that person to
come in and listen to the staff and make
sure they communicate well, he said.

were demanded for the millions of passengers that needed to go to work

daily. Their comforts were met in San
Francisco in 1898 when a new, modern
Beaux Arts style ferry terminal was
completed at Market Street and
Embarcadero. The entire length of the
building on both frontages is based on
an arched arcade and the second oor
had a 660-foot nave that was the space
for arriving and departing ferry passengers. The Ferry Building became
the pride of San Francisco. It boasted a
food hall, ofces and a 245-foot tall
clock tower, with four clock dials, each
22 feet in diameter. The architect, A.
Page Brown, designed the clock tower
after the 12th-century Ginalda bell
tower of Seville, Spain.
However, after the Bay Bridge was
opened in the late 30s, the patronage

of the ferries decreased dramatically and

the Ferry Building was put to use as
ofces, etc. These unsympathetic renovations were later reversed and, in
2003, the renovation of the interior
was made over into people-friendly
farmers market, food spaces and some
ofces. It had become the centerpiece
for the new rejuvenated Embarcadero
plaza. Before, to the west of the ferry
building, a double-decker Embarcadero
Freeway (California State Route 480)
was built from the Bay Bridge to
Broadway in North Beach. This was the
rst phase of the highway that was to
eventually be routed along the
Bayshore (through Fishermans Wharf)
to Doyle Drive and become Highway
101. It blocked out the view of the
Ferry Building and was torn down after
the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes,
called cages, must combine using the given operation
(in any order) to produce the target numbers in the
top-left corners.
Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in
the top-left corner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Money is heading

your way. Gather the information and strategies
necessary to improve your professional position. Be
prepared to make an unexpected change.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You may wonder
which way to head next. Follow your instincts, not
what someone else does. Dont be swayed by anyone
trying to discourage your plans. Your love life will
take an interesting turn.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You need to stay on top
and concentrate on your career. You will fall behind
if you dont pay close attention to your work and to
what your peers are doing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can make a
difference both personally and professionally. Stop

second-guessing yourself. Take the lead and put

your plans in motion before someone beats you at
your own game.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be fooled if you
let your heart rule your head. Someone you think is on
your side has ulterior motives. Keep your emotions in
check and avoid getting involved in joint ventures.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make your home
your sanctuary. Avoid heated discussions and
emotional upheavals. A calm approach will help you
keep matters in perspective. Make the most of the
information you gather.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you look hard enough,
you will find the answer to an unhappy financial or
personal situation. Check into interesting proposals

or real estate possibilities. Long-term investments

will prove lucrative.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Dont wait for someone
to give you the green light. You have to outmaneuver
your opponents in order to get your way. Fast thinking
and quick action will bring the best results.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Procrastination will be
your downfall. Make a strategic move. Rumors will
circulate if you are too free with your personal secrets
or information. Dont be afraid of change.

Drought brings hard times to coastal farmers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HALF
MOON
BAY

Californias chronic drought is

causing hardships on the coast
south of San Francisco for property owners who ordinarily get their
water from creeks and wells that
have gone dry after four years of
scant rainfall.
Residents and farmers within an
hours drive of Silicon Valley are
going without showers, leaving
their land fallow and renting property elsewhere for their livestock
to graze, the San Francisco
Chronicle reported Sunday. Most
of the several hundred growers in
the area known for its Brussel
sprouts, artichokes and pumpkins
have cut production and taken big
losses, according to the San
Mateo County Farm Bureau.
People dont think there are
rural communities on the San
Francisco Peninsula that have run
out of water, San Mateo County
Resource Conservation District
project coordinator Chelsea
Moller told the Chronicle. I
think they really get overlooked.
Ranchers Doniga and Erik
Markegard raise cattle on 1,000
leased acres south of Half Moon

DAILY JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Erik and Doniga Markegard assess the damage the drought has caused on
their Half Moon Bay cattle ranch in this February file photo.
Bay, where rainfall this year and
last has totaled about one-third of
normal. Now that their spring has
dried up, they are having water trucked in to
fill their tank every
three weeks and are
conserving by bathing
their four children
once a week, often in
the same tub.
The cleanest kid
goes first, Doniga
Markegard said. As

SKYLINE
Continued from page 1
for the South San Francisco Unified School District.
Especially if it gives kids the opportunity to get other education outside of a normal school.
A Middle College already exists on the campus of College
of San Mateo. The program, which began in 1998, includes
up to 35 juniors and 35 seniors, selected from among the
students in the San Mateo Union High School District.
Cabrillo Unified School District students may be eligible to
participate in the San Mateo program with approval of the
site administration.
The school boards from Jefferson Union High School and
the San Mateo Union High School districts have already
approved letting their students attend the new Middle
College.
Currently, Skyline professor Raymond Jones is the new
programs interim director, who is helping to plan, develop
and implement this innovative educational option for high
school students.
The research has shown students participating in the
program (Middle College) tend to earn a high school diploma and graduate from college more so than their peers, he
said.
If approved by the South San Francisco Unified School
District Board of Trustees, students who complete the twoyear Skyline program could receive high school credits
resulting in graduation as well as units in college courses
leading to a Career Technical Certificate as well as a pathway
toward an associate in arts degree and automatic transfer to
the states university system.
Officials say Middle College at Skyline College offers a
range of advantages to students, including a chance to complete high school and college credits at the same time for an
associate degree and/or transfer. Students can get an introduction to and preparation for college life, expectations and
requirements. It can allow for a smoother transition from
high school to college, an ability to explore various careers
and majors and understanding of the potential economic
benefits of a postsecondary education. An accelerated pathway through college can also save students time and money.
Looking at a young man coming at program at risk of
not graduating on time, due to socioeconomic factors, he
then has a high school diploma and 21 units transferable to
CSU, Jones said.
With the Career Technology Education certificate, students are be able to work at Kaiser Permanente upon graduate from Middle College, he said. Students get tuition free up
to 11.5 units and this can save them $1,500 in tuition or
more, he added.
The district board members, who took no action on the
Skyline proposal at their Nov. 6 meeting, requested more
detailed fiscal data from the community college. Skyline
hopes to get approval from the South City school board by
early 2015, Jones said.

my grandmother said, Wash

your pits and parts, and youre
good to go.

A bigger challenge has been

making the math work on their
nearly 500-head of heritage breed
cattle. Since they couldnt feed or
water the herd on the parched
ranch, the couple has had to lease
more land off-site for the livestock and hope wetter weather
arrives before the money to pay
for the operation runs out.
We know the rains are going to
come and the grass is going to
grow and we are going to get out of
this, Markegard said.
Twice as many well-drilling permits have been issued in the county this year as desperate property
owners seek new water sources,
the Chronicle said. Bill Laven, a
farmer who grows organic produce, let his crops wither in August
once the stream behind his house
stopped running. He hopes to start

planting again now that water was

found under his land and he hired
contractors to dig two new wells.
That field would be waist-high
in vegetables if we would have had
water, Laven said as he stood
before the still-barren soil littered
with wasted cabbage leaves. We
basically stopped watering it and
watched it all die.
Aaron Lingemann, who runs a
drilling company in Santa Cruz,
said that farms on the usually
cooler coast face particular challenges when water sources dry up.
In a lot of places, when you
have trouble getting water, you
just drill deeper and deeper,
Lingemann said. But thats often
not an option along the coast.
There are a lot of areas that if you
drill over 100 or 200 feet its
salty.

Sciatica and Herniated Discs

May be to Blame for Pain
in Your Back and Neck

LOCAL CLINIC OFFERS FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN
Did you know that 30 million Americans suffer
from back and neck pain every day? Sciatica
and herniated discs are often misunderstood.
They can cause pain and numbness in the
back, neck, legs, and feet. This pain affects
everything that you do, from work to play, and
ultimately your quality of life. We are here to
tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and experience to help you nd relief
from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area Disc
Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.

The Solution: TDCTM Therapy

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills
while initially using them to alleviate real,
constant pain.

TDC Therapy Traction Decompression Combined Therapy is a proven treatment exclusive to Disc Centers of America doctors for the
relief of neck and lower back pain. By utilizing
traction thats isolated to the spinal segment
involved, the purpose is to create spinal
decompression as a result to specic traction.
TDC Therapy offers a signicant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This non-surgical solution is
changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:

TDC Therapy is non-surgical and non-invasive.
It is a gentle form of traction and disc decompression. The treatment is not only safe, but
also comfortable and relaxing. The goal is
symptomatic relief and structural correction.

Is Surgery the Answer?

How Does TDCTM Therapy Work?

It is true that surgery may be the answer for

certain types of back injuries. When considering your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?

TDC Therapy can isolate a specic vertebra

and distract the vertebrae surrounding an
injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy
treatment isolates the specic vertebrae that
are causing the pain. The 25-to-30-minute
treatment provides static, intermittent, and
cycling forces on structures that may be
causing back pain. Negative pressure
promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and
nutrients into the vertebral disc area, thereby
rehydrating the degenerated disc. Repeated
pressure differential promotes retraction of a
herniated nucleus pulposus. The TDC Therapy
treatment works to reduce pressure on the
vertebral joints, promote retraction of herniated discs, and promote self-healing and
rehabilitation of damaged discs, thereby
relieving neck or lower back pain.

Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions

when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
