On the heels of newly released
emails between the California
Public Utilities Commission and
PG&E before key decisions like
the repressurizing of a key San

make the CPUC an elected rather
than appointed body.

As a group of residents face ris-
ing ood insurance rates and city
streets continue to deteriorate, San
Mateo city ofcials will survey the
public about their interest in pay-
ing for costly infrastructure
repairs through bond measures and
assessment districts.
On Monday night, the City
Council discussed how to fund
approximately $48.5 million in
street and ood control improve-
ments before directing staff to
seek a consultant who would ask
voters if theyd be amenable to a
new sales tax or other types of
funding options.
The survey will also ask resi-
dents in the North Shoreview and
North Central neighborhoods,
some who are faced with federally
mandated ood insurance rates that
are expected to increase by 25 per-
cent per year and can run newer
homebuyers more than $7,000
annually, if they would be willing
to form an assessment district. The

The Burlingame City Council will choose
a replacement for retired councilman Jerry
Deal from a pool of eight applicants after
interviews later this month.
The council decided at Monday nights
meeting that it did not wish to winnow the
number of applicants further before inter-
viewing the candidates. The bulk of the con-
versation was when exactly to hold those
interviews. Due to scheduling challenges,
the council opted for interviews at an Oct.
15 public forum at City Hall with public
comment. The council will vote at its regu-
lar Oct. 20 meeting using ballots rather
than roll call.
Mayor Michael Brownrigg had proposed
the council hold the interviews and vote on
the same date because, according to a video
of the meeting, in light
of what will be undoubt-
edly be a process that has
people weighing in with
their opinions, [extend-
ing] just runs the risk of
becoming a bit of a free
for all.
Councilwoman Ann
Keighran disagrees
because she wanted time
to process the interviews.
Personally, I like to mull it over,
Keighran said.
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz agreed, saying
he didnt want the decision hanging over
them.
The city is required to ll Deals vacancy
within 60 days of Deals Sept. 21 resigna-
tion Nov. 20 because the council
opted for an appointment rather than a spe-
cial election in March would carry a
$190,000 price tag.
Deal announced his intention to depart in
July after seven years on the council to
move with his family to Oregon.
Hoping to ll his shoes are Ross Bruce,
Russ Cohen, John Eaton, Pat Giorni, John
Martos, John Root, Laurie Simonson and
Eric Storey. Each applicant will get up to 30
minutes and Brownrigg said he will hold
public comment to no more than one hour.
Ortiz suggested splitting the group into
two to make the interviews more manage-
able but the other councilmembers said it
would give the second set an unfair advan-
tage because the process will be televised.
In the name of fairness, Keighran even
suggested taking away candidates cell-
phones so that they could not text with audi-
ence members while sitting in the confer-
ence room.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The familiar rush of fighter jets through
San Francisco skies is returning this week
for the citys annual Fleet Week, which
was canceled by federal budget fights last
year.
Fleet Weeks most famous component
the U.S. Navys Blue Angels acrobatic
flight demonstration squadron was a
casualty of federal sequestration cuts in
April 2013.
The entire Fleet Week schedule of events
last October was eventually canceled
because of the government shutdown.
But this year Fleet Week is back, with a
full slate of events that kicked off Tuesday
afternoon, culminating in the return of the
Blue Angels demonstration this weekend.
The Blue Angels will arrive Thursday and
hold a rehearsal Friday before the air show
at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, organizers
said. They will hold a second air show on
Sunday afternoon before the weeks events
wrap up with a performance by the
Northern California-based rock group
Mustache Harbor.
Mustache Harbor is just one of several
bands who will be playing on and around
Pier 39 throughout the weekend, with per-
formances scheduled by the U.S. Marine
Corps Band, the Air Force Rock Band, the
Destroyers from the Navy Band
Southwest, Diablo Road and DJ Scotty
Fox.
The main festivities will kick off at 11
a.m. Friday, with the Parade of Ships arriv-
ing, passing under the Golden Gate Bridge
and mooring in San Francisco Bay.
No other boats will be permitted to trav-
el along the San Francisco waterfront from
the Golden Gate Bridge to south of the
Ferry Building during the parade, accord-
ing to the U.S. Coast Guard.
While most of the biggest events are
slated for this weekend, Fleet Week began
Tuesday afternoon with a Bark in the
Park event where dogs trained in bomb
detection, tracking and apprehending sus-
pects will show off their unique skills.
Fleet Week returns with full slate of events
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 27-year-old Half Moon Bay man who
had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old
girl he met at a dance in 2012 was sentenced
Tuesday to three years in prison and lifetime
registration as a sex offender.
Gregorio Padilla-Luis pleaded no contest
in August to felony child molestation to
avoid jury trial on more counts of the same
crime. He also admitted committing a vio-
lent felony and the conviction counts as a
criminal strike in the
future.
In return, he was prom-
ised no more than three
years prison and Tuesday
received the maximum
allowed. He has credit of
541 days against the term
and must serve 85 percent
of the remainder.
Padilla-Luis was 25
when he reportedly met the girl, then 12, in
July 2012 and they dated for a year and had
consensual sex seven times before the rela-
tionship was discovered in June. The girl
allegedly snuck out of her home at 1 a.m.
June 24, 2013, waking her father with the
shutting door and sending the family
searching for a half hour before they found
her partially undressed in the back seat of
Padilla-Luis truck. Prosecutors say he told
the girls father that he loved her.

Air tanker crashes while fighting California fire
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK An air tanker ghting a
wildre near Yosemite National Park in Northern California
crashed Tuesday, but there was no immediate word on the
state of the plane or the pilot, who was the only person
aboard, ofcials said.
The plane went down at about 4:30 p.m. within a mile of
the parks west entrance, Yosemite spokesman Scott
Gediman said. Rescue crews were working their way
through difcult terrain to reach the downed plane.
What were trying to do right now with the remaining
light is to get some of our rangers to the scene, Gediman
said.
The airplane is an S-2T air tanker, which is own by a
single pilot and has no other crew members. The tanker
uses twin turbine engines and is capable of carrying 1,200
gallons of re retardant, said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman
for the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection.

compared with the year before. That
was the rst full month of mandatory
restrictions and nes for water-wasters
imposed by the State Water Resources
Control Board in July.
The trend here is very good, said
Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the
board. It appears the audience is lis-
tening, and folks have shifted into
gear since we took action.
The data is self-reported by water
agencies with 3,000 or more cus-
tomers. Together, the reporting agen-
cies serve 33.5 million Californians,
or roughly 87 percent of the states
population.
Gov. Jerry Brown called on
Californians to reduce water use by 20
percent when he declared a drought emer-
gency in January. Californians could
face further restrictions if the drought
worsens and the coming winter fails to
produce adequate snow and rainfall.
Marcus says the board is focused on
pushing hesitant cities to conserve as
much as they can for worse-case-sce-
narios, rather than achieving an
across-the-board 20 percent cut in
water use.
A similar voluntary survey showed
water use actually increased by 1 per-
cent in May. Since then, mandatory
reporting shows monthly water use
has declined by 4.4 percent in June
and 7.5 percent in July.
Of large suppliers serving 40,000 or
more customers, the city of Tracy in
Northern California had the largest
percentage decrease in August water
consumption, at 41 percent. Ten actu-
ally increased their water use.
The gures include residential and
business users but do not show per-
capita water use. As a result, its easier
for cities such as Sacramento and
Fresno that have lacked meters and
guzzled water to cut back compared
with communities that have long con-
served.
State water use drops 11.5 percent in August
Agencies will start reporting water use on a per capita basis later this
month.
The following is from the state water board consumption survey for
August, a report that was released Tuesday.
These large suppliers (serving more than 40,000 people) reported the
largest decreases in water use among the 394 respondents compared
to the previous year:
City of Tracy (San Joaquin County), 41 percent.
California Water Service Company Livermore (Alameda County), 37
percent.
Dublin-San Ramon Services District (Alameda County), 36 percent.
City of Pleasanton (Alameda County), 33 percent.
City of West Sacramento (Yolo County), 28 percent.
City of Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz County), 28 percent.
City of Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara County), 26 percent.
California American Water Company-Sacramento (Sacramento County),
25 percent.
East Valley Water District (San Bernardino County), 24 percent.
Placer County Water Agency, 24 percent.
City of Sacramento (Sacramento County), 24 percent.
Alameda County Water District, 24 percent.
These large suppliers were the only ones to report increases in August
water use:
City of San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo County), 26 percent.
City of Compton (Los Angeles County), 10 percent.
City of Colton (San Bernardino County), 9 percent.
City of Coachella (Riverside County), 9 percent.
City of Hawthorne (Los Angeles County), 8 percent.
City of San Clemente (Orange County), 4 percent.
City of La Habra (Orange County), 3 percent.
City of San Juan Capistrano (Orange County), 3 percent.
City of South Gate (Los Angeles County), 2 percent.
City of Brea (Orange County), 1 percent.
These suppliers did not report their water use,although some might not
fall under the mandate:
Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District (Santa Barbara County).
City of Imperial (Imperial County).
City of Shasta Lake (Shasta County).
City of Monterey Park (Los Angeles County).
City of El Segundo (Los Angeles County).
Ramona Municipal Water District (San Diego County).
City of Lynwood (Los Angeles County).
Phelan Pinon Hills Community Services District (San Bernardino County).

Golden Hills Community Services District (Kern County).
Bear Valley Community Services District (Kern County).

STOCKHOLM An invention that
promises to revolutionize the way the
world lights its homes and ofces
and already helps create the glowing
screens of mobile phones, computers
and TVs earned a Nobel Prize on
Tuesday for two Japanese scientists
and a Japanese-born American.
By inventing a new kind of light-
emitting diode, or LED, they overcame
a crucial roadblock for creating white
light far more efciently than incan-
descent or fluorescent bulbs. Now
LEDs are pervasive and experts say
their use will only grow.
Incandescent light bulbs lit the
20th century; the 21st century will be
lit by LED lamps, the Nobel commit-
tee said in announcing its award to
Japanese researchers Isamu Akasaki
and Hiroshi Amano and naturalized
U.S. citizen Shuji Nakamura.
Their work, done in the early 1990s,
led to a fundamental transformation of
technology for illumination, the com-
mittee said. And when the three arrive
in Stockholm to collect their awards in
early December, they will hardly fail
to notice the light from their inven-
tion glowing in virtually all the win-
dows of the city.
Nakamura, 60, is a professor at the
University of California, Santa
Barbara. Akasaki, 85, is a professor at
Meijo University and Nagoya
University in Japan, while Amano,
54, is also at Nagoya. Akasaki and
Amano made their inventions while
working at Nagoya, while Nakamura
was working separately at the
Japanese company Nichia Chemicals.
At a press conference, Nakamura said
he is happy to see that my dream of
LED lighting has become a reality.
Nowadays we can buy energy-efcient
light bulbs in the supermarket and
help reduce energy use. I hope this
helps to reduce global warming too,
he said, reading from a prepared state-
ment.
Asked earlier if he realized the
importance of his research early on, he
told reporters, Nobody can make a
cellphone without ... my invention.
Akasaki told a nationally-televised
news conference in Japan that he had
faced skepticism about his research
bearing fruit. But I never felt that
way, he said. I was just doing what I
wanted to do.
Three share Nobel for blue diode

WASHINGTON Millions of
Americans may qualify for waivers
from the most unpopular part of
President Barack Obamas health
care overhaul. But getting that
exemption could be an ordeal.
Community groups are concerned
about a convoluted process for
waivers from the laws tax penalty
on people who remain uninsured.
Not everyone is complaining, how-
ever: Tax preparation companies are
flagging it as a business opportuni-
t y.
The laws requirement that
Americans carry health insurance
remains contentious. Waivers were
designed to ease the impact.
But while some exemptions seem
simple, others will require math cal-
culations.
Some involve sending in the
application by mail and sup-
porting documents, such as copies
of medical bills, police reports,
obituaries, utility shut-off notices
even news articles. Consumers
will have to dig up the documenta-
tion its not like filing the W-2s
they get from employers.
Health law waivers: Too complicated to claim?

City bans smoking in apartments,

continues to look at private property
As part of its efforts to protect the public
from unwanted secondhand smoke, the
Foster City Council unanimously agreed to
ban smoking in multi-unit apartment com-
plexes as part of an amendment to its new
smoking ordinance at a meeting Monday
night. Effective in 30 days, smoking will
be prohibited indoors, on balconies and
patios and in all common areas of apart-
ments. The rule is effective immediately for
new leases and current tenants will be given
a 12-month grace period.
The council has instructed staff to work
with local homeowners associations to
derive a plan to protect the public from sec-
ondhand smoke in privately owned condo-
miniums and townhomes. The council will
review staffs work and discuss whether to
regulate smoking in private property at a
meeting Nov. 3.
The council has not agreed to amend its
rules governing smoking at restaurants and
its current allowance of smoking in up to 50
percent of outdoor seating areas stands.

Redwood City man arrested
on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run
ARedwood City man was arrested on sus-
picion of felony hit-and-run and DUI after
striking a pedestrian in San Francisco on
Sunday evening, a police spokesman said
Monday.
Luis Ayala, 29, was arrested following the
collision, which was reported at about 7:30
p.m. Sunday near Valencia Street and
Duboce Avenue, San Francisco police
spokesman Ofcer Albie Esparza said.
The pedestrian, a 26-year-old man, was
walking outside of a crosswalk when he was
hit by Ayalas car, Esparza said.
Ayala allegedly continued driving toward
Market Street with the victim on the car,
according to Esparza. He was taken to San
Francisco General Hospital and is expected
to survive, the ofcer said.
Ayala was stopped at Market Street and
arrested on suspicion of driving under the
inuence of alcohol and drugs, hit-and-run
causing injury and driving with an expired
license, Esparza said.
Teen hospitalized
after skateboard accident
Belmont police are reminding skate-
boarders to wear a helmet and safety gear
after a 16-year-old was hospitalized
Saturday night after falling while attempt-
ing to do a trick on his skateboard on the
2100 block of Carlmont Drive.
At approximately 11 p.m., Belmont
police and re units responded to the 2100
block of Carlmont Drive on a report of a
subject injured while skateboarding, accord-
ing to police.
Police reported a witness said the victim
had been skateboarding home with his
brother after work and attempted to do a
trick on his skateboard. The victim, who
was not wearing a helmet or other safety
gear, was unable to land correctly and fell,
striking his head on the pavement.
The victim was treated at the scene by
Belmont re paramedics and transported to
an area hospital, where he was admitted. No
further information is available on his con-
dition and his name is being withheld due to
his age, according to police.
Man who attacked another
with bat in Pacifica at large
A man who attacked another man with a
baseball bat and took his car keys on Friday
evening in Pacifica remains at large, a
police sergeant said Monday.
Ofcers responded to a report of a ght
involving a baseball bat in the 700 block
of Bradford Way west of Highway 1 around
5:10 p.m., Pacifica police Sgt. Thomas
Cumming said.
Arriving ofcers went to the scene where
they found a 23-year-old Redwood City man
who told them he had arranged to meet with
the suspect to buy narcotics, Cumming
said.
The suspect met with the 23-year-old at
another location and drove together to
Bradford Way where he told the victim he
could purchase narcotics, according to the
sergeant.
The suspect left the victim in the car for
about 10 minutes then returned to assault
him with the baseball bat and rob him of his
car keys, Cumming said.
The suspect then ed on foot and was last
seen running west on Mori Point Road,
according to Cumming.
The victim was treated by paramedics for
injuries to his head and did not require hos-
pitalization, the sergeant said.
Ofcers conducted a yard-to-yard search
and looked in the area for the suspect with-
out success, Cumming said.
The suspect is described as a white man in
his 20s who was also armed with a pellet
gun at the time of the incident. He was last
seen wearing a brown T-shirt, khaki pants
and black baseball cap.
Anyone with information on this case is
asked to call Pacica police at (650) 738-

County proposes food
safety placard program
Placards of familiar trafc light colors
green, yellow and red will be displayed in
January 2016 as a simple way for the San
Mateo County public to see how a restaurant
has scored on their food safety inspection,
under a new food facility program
announced Tuesday.
At a glance, customers will be able to
spot a green placard for go, which will
indicate passing a food safety inspection,
yellow for caution, a conditional pass,
meaning the facility will be inspected again
in one to three days, or red for stop, in
which case the facility will be closed until
unsafe conditions are corrected, according
to the San Mateo County Health System.
We are very excited to bring this impor-
tant program to San Mateo County,
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier said in a press
release. Our residents should feel condent
that theyre not risking their health when
they eat out, and this program will allow
people to make an informed decision by
knowing at a glance which restaurants serve
safely prepared food.
Placards will be required at approximately
3,000 permanent food facilities that pre-
pare food throughout the county, including
restaurants, mobile food trucks, bakeries,
schools, licensed health care facilities and
some convenience stores, according to the
release.
Initial education meetings to inform food
facility operators about the proposed plac-
arding program begin Oct. 20. The Board of
Supervisors is tentatively scheduled to hear
the restaurant placarding program in June
2015. Detailed training for operators on
how to earn a green placard is scheduled to
begin July 2015 with January 2016 as the
proposed start date for posting colored
placards, according to the release.

Ebola evades European
defenses; pet dog must die
MADRID Health officials in Spain
rushed to contain the Ebola virus Tuesday
after it got past Europes defenses, quarantin-
ing four people at a Madrid hospital where a
nursing assistant got infected and persuad-
ing a court that the womans dog must die.
The rst case of Ebola transmitted outside
Africa, where a months-long outbreak has
killed more than 3,400 people, is raising
questions about how prepared wealthier
countries really are. Health workers com-
plained Tuesday that they lack the training
and equipment to handle the virus, and the
all-important tourism industry was showing
its anxiety.
Medical officials in the United States,
meanwhile, are retraining hospital staff and
fine-tuning infection control procedures
after the mishandling of a critically ill
Liberian man in Texas, who might have
exposed many others to the virus after being
sent away by a hospital.
In Africa, the U.S. military was preparing
to open a 25-bed mobile hospital catering
to health care workers with Ebola, before
building a total of 17 promised 100-bed
Ebola Treatment Units in Liberia.
Hong Kong protests
thin as two sides agree to talk
HONG KONG Crowds of protesters
who filled Hong Kongs streets with
demands for more democracy thinned dra-

the government agreed to hold talks in the
increasingly frustrated city.
The government and students leaders
announced they will begin talks on polit-
ical reform on Friday.
But while a government representative
said negotiations were off to a good
start, the students expressed anger and
disappointment at officials unwilling-
ness to address their real demands.
Just a few days after tens of thousands of
demonstrators thronged the citys streets,
only a couple thousand protesters were
scattered across the three main protest
areas on Tuesday night.
But the six-lane highway that cuts
through the heart of Hong Kongs busi-
ness district remained blocked by demon-
strators, once again snarling traffic and
angering many commuters.
Around the world
By Vivian Salama
BAGHDAD After two months, the U.S.-
led aerial campaign in Iraq has hardly dented
the core of the Islamic State groups territory.
The extremist ghters have melted into urban
areas when needed to elude the threat, and they
have even succeeded in taking new territory
from an Iraqi army that still buckles in the
face of militants.
In neighboring Syria, days of airstrikes
have been unable to stop militants on the
verge of capturing a strategic town on the
Turkish border.
The limited results show the central weak-
ness of the campaign: There is only so much
that can be done from the air to defeat an
extremist force that has swept over much of
Iraq and Syria. The Islamic State ghters have
proven elusive and exible, able to reorgan-
ize to minimize the blows. And more impor-
tantly, there are almost no allied forces on the
ground able to capitalize on the airstrikes and
wrest back territory from the militants.
The exception: Iraqi Kurdish ghters, the
most effective forces in Iraq, have made some
modest gains the past week.
That only highlights how others have
proven unable to do the same. The Iraqi mili-
tary is undermined by corruption and com-
mand problems. Anew Iraqi government has
being trying to woo support from more Sunni
tribesmen, whose ghters are seen as vital
against the Sunni extremists, but so far there
has not been a ood of support. In Syria,
rebels supported by Washington are in no
position to move against the extremists, and
Syrias Kurds are not as well armed as Iraqs .
The U.S. launched airstrikes in Iraq on Aug.
8 and in Syria on Sept. 23. Several European
nations are participating in Iraq, but not in
Syria, where the U.S. was joined by a coali-
tion of Arab allies. U.S. ofcials have warned
repeatedly that the campaign will be long
even years.
The Pentagon press secretary, Navy Rear
Adm. John Kirby, contended last week that
the strikes have hampered the militants.
Before the strikes, he said, they pretty much
had free rein. They dont have that free rein
anymore, because they know were watching
from the air. ... They have dispersed, whereas
before they were more structurally cohesive in
certain places.
PROGRESS IN THE NORTH
Most of the success for the air campaign
has been in rural, open areas of northern Iraq.
Last week, airstrikes paved the way for the
Iraqi Kurdish ghters known as peshmerga to
plow into a string of towns held by the
extremists near the Syrian border:
Mahmoudiyah, Rabia and Zumar. The Kurdish
offensive is aiming for the town of Sinjar, and
if they capture it, the Kurds would secure a
main road in and out of Syria that is a militant
supply line.
The early airstrikes also halted the extrem-
ists advance toward the Kurdish capital of
Irbil and broke the Islamic State groups grip
on the strategic Mosul Dam, enabling pesh-
merga and Iraqi troops to recapture it. Strikes
were also instrumental in breaking a siege of
the northern town of Amirli, which the mili-
tants had surrounded.
But the warplanes have largely avoided
Mosul, Iraqs second-largest city and the
Islamic State groups biggest stronghold, or
the nearby town of Tal Afar, apparently to
avoid civilian casualties that would boost
support for the group among the regions
Sunnis. That has left the extremists a virtual
free hand there, which is unlikely to change
anytime soon. Last week, retired Gen. John
Allen, the U.S. envoy to the anti-Islamic
State coalition, said operations to retake
Mosul will start within a year.
LOSSES IN ANBAR
It was in Iraqs western province of Anbar
that the Islamic State group made its rst dra-
matic land-grab in January by capturing the
city of Fallujah. The group found substantial
support among the provinces overwhelm-
ingly Sunni population, which is largely con-
servative and deeply resentful of the Shiite-
led government in Baghdad,
The extremists are still making gains. Last
week, they seized the towns of Hit and neigh-
boring Kubaisa, sending Iraqi soldiers eeing
and leaving a nearby military base with its
stockpile of weapons at risk of capture.
Government forces still control most of the
provincial capital of Ramadi, but the city is
vulnerable.
Also at risk is the predominantly Sunni
town of Abu Ghraib on the western edge of the
capital of Baghdad. The militants already
have a signicant presence in the town.
SETBACKS IN SYRIA
Coalition warplanes appear to have been
unable to turn the tide in Syrian city of
Kobani, which the militants have besieged
for weeks, battling with its Kurdish defenders.
Turkeys president warned Tuesday that
Kobani is on the verge of falling.
The strikes around the city appear to have
been more limited than, for example, the
bombardment in August of Amirli, Iraq. In
that case, Iraqi troops and Shiite militiamen
were poised to swoop into the city after the
strikes. In contrast, Kobanis Syrian Kurd
defenders are poorly armed and are hampered
by longtime tensions with neighboring
Turkey, which resents the ghters ties to
Kurdish separatists in Turkey.
The airstrikes in Syria have largely targeted
the Islamic State groups infrastructure across
the broad northern and eastern regions the
extremists hold. Warplanes have hit check-
points, tanks, training camps and even one of
the groups main headquarters in its de facto
capital of Raqqa. But activists say Islamic
State ghters left many of the bases before
the strikes began, and the U.S. and its part-
ners hit empty facilities. Heavy weapons
were moved into protected areas.

THE SAN CARLOS CHAMBER O COMMERCE PRESENTS
would help nance $7.5 million in levee
improvements that would help remove them
from the Federal Emergency Management
Agencys Flood Insurance Rate Map.
The city right now has the capacity to
address both the issue of the levees and our
failing streets, Councilman David Lim said.
Improving our crumbling infrastructure can
be no bigger legacy to pass on to our chil-
dren and grandchildren.
Once a consulting rm is selected, it would
likely use methods such as mailers and phone
calls, to see what the publics priorities are
and whether various funding measures would
be successful.
The city maintains about 192 miles of
streets, 18 of which are currently failing,
according to a city staff report. The city has
been paying about $4 million annually into
a paving program and over the past three
years has contributed between $2 million and
$2.5 million annually to pay for one-time
street rehabilitations, according Finance
Director Dave Culvers presentation to the
council.
The approximately $25 million in street
improvements could be funded, without the
issuance of bonds, through a quarter-cent
sales tax increase for ve years, Culver said.
The survey will be used to test the publics
temperature over whether voters would be
open to the increase before spending money
to put something on the ballot. Passing a
general sales tax measure, in which revenue
would go into the citys general fund, requires
a majority approval, while enacting a special
tax, in which funds would be earmarked for
specific projects, requires a two-thirds
approval, Culver said.
The city is also facing about $23.5 million
in improvements to the citys ood control
infrastructure along the Coyote Point
Bayfront.
San Mateos pump stations and levees,
used to protect the city against ooding dur-
ing storms by pumping the citys rainwater
runoff into the Bay, need to be upgraded to
withstand an extreme 100-year-storm.
FEMA improvements
Planning for these improvements requires
the city to coordinate with FEMA to ensure
the work provides insurance relief to about
1,200 homeowners in the North Shoreview
and North Central neighborhoods.
Although completing storm control
improvements would immediately benet
those who are faced with costly ood insur-
ance rates by removing them from the ood
zone, community members and the council
stressed it should be considered a citywide
problem.
Councilman Joe Goethals said working on
ood control improvements relates to safety
and should be the citys number one priority.
The city should be responsible for help-
ing this process go forth as quickly as possi-
ble, Goethals said.
In 2001, more than 9,000 San Mateo
homeowners found themselves subject to
costly ood insurance mandated by FEMA.
The citys multi-million dollar efforts to
remove the Shoreview neighborhood culmi-
nated in 2012 and the council has since made
helping those in North Shoreview and North
Central a priority.
If the residents bound to new ood insur-
ance requirements agree to tax themselves
around $75 to $100 per year, it would assist
the city in issuing bonds for levee repairs.
However, the city will still need to spend
about $15 million to $16 million in
stormwater pump station rehabilitations to
remove the majority of residents from the
ood map, according to the city.
One funding mechanism could be for the
city to take out bonds by committing repay-
ment from its general fund, Culver said. Yet
the city has never solely relied on its gener-
al fund to repay bonds and would be required
to make about $1.5 million annual payment
regardless of changes in the economy or
budget, Culver said.
Citywide assessment district
Another possibility the council and public
expressed an interest in would be to create a
citywide assessment district to help pay for
the ood control improvements. The process
would be complex and likely involve an
engineer determining each propertys assess-
ment based on how much runoff water it con-
tributes, Culver said.
Forming an citywide assessment district is
possible unless a majority of voters protest
by returning mail-in ballots to the city,
Culver said.
Cynthia Newton, a North Shoreview resi-
dent, said the pump stations serve the entire
city as every property produces water runoff
and widely-used infrastructure such as
Highway 101 could be affected during a ood.
Frank Lau, a North Shoreview property
owner whose flood insurance premiums
jumped from $800 to $2,000 in just a few
years, agreed the entire city has an interest in
maintaining its infrastructure.
They are not North Shoreviews levees or
[pump stations], they are the [pump stations]
for the city of San Mateo, they are San Mateo
city infrastructure, Lau said. So its no dif-
ferent than comparing the [pumps] and the
levee to the library and the police station and
the streets in our neighborhood.
City staff will now begin to solicit pro-
posals from consultants to conduct public
opinion research about how to fund infra-
structure improvements. For more informa-
tion visit www.cityofsanmateo.org.

Bay Meadows variety of services will
attract a modern workforce on which compa-
nies can capitalize, Thacher said.
Todays workforce wants to be integrated
into a vibrant community where there are
dining, shopping and entertainment
options. Bay Meadows is a compact, walka-
ble neighborhood that will be full of shops,
restaurants, parks and humming with resi-
dents and students. That environment will
help a company attract top talent, Thacher
said.
Wilson Meany seeks to attract companies
within the prospering technology sector as
well as service companies growing in paral-
lel with the economy such as nancial serv-
ices, health care and human relations rms,
Thacher said.
In total, Bay Meadows will become home
to approximately 750,000 square feet of
ofce space spread between ve buildings,
more than 1,100 housing units, 18 acres of
parks and about 93,000 square feet of retail
space.
In 2015, Bay Meadows anticipates begin-
ning construction of its Town Square, which
will be comprised of two apartment build-
ings, an office building and traditional
ground-oor retail, Thacher said.

OPINION 9
Redi-Wheels contract
Editor,
As a long-term disabled passenger
utilizing San Mateo County Redi-
Wheels paratransit services (operat-
ed by MV Transportation), I am sur-
prised and concerned regarding an
award of a new contract by SamTrans
to First Transit (until now a mostly
unknown transportation operator in
the Bay Area), to be effective Jan. 1,
2015. As a surprise for affected dis-
abled passengers, there was no
SamTrans press release to be found
in any Internet research through
Sept. 30, 2014, until concerned pas-
sengers, upon hearing rumors on
the street notified the media and the
article, SamTrans awards New Redi-
Wheels contract appeared in the
Oct. 2, 2014, edition of the Daily
Journal.
Also surprising, is that a new
operator was awarded the paratransit
contract in the county of San
Francisco, starting services Sept. 1,
2014 a company called TransDev.
This paratransit operation was previ-
ously until Aug. 31, 2014 also
managed by MV Transportation.
First Transit is a subsidiary of
FirstGroup, a company headquartered
in the U.K., traded on the London
Stock Exchange. TransDev is a pri-
vately-owned company headquartered
in France. The taxpaying public as a
whole should be concerned that these
two awarded contracts have been
given to companies owned and oper-
ated outside of the United States. The
question should be asked, why are
our public transportation services,
SamTrans and Muni, awarding con-
tracts to companies and corporations
outside of the United States? Wi l l
paratransit policies and prices be set
forth by foreign interests?
MV Transportation is an American-
owned company who has lost its
contracts to foreign companies/cor-
porations. Certainly the New World
Order is coming to roost at our front
door.

Todays pedestrians are also
more dangerous than ever
Editor,
Michael Oberg makes this claim in
his letter to the editor Todays driv-
ers are more dangerous than ever (in
the Oct. 6 edition of the Daily
Journal). I agree. He also might have
pointed out that todays pedestrians
are also more dangerous than ever.
You dont think todays pedestri-
ans are more dangerous? Take a
(slow) drive down Laurel Street in
San Carlos. Count the jaywalkers
and people using cellphones or
whatever in the crosswalks. While
youre at it, see if you think that
Laurel Street is more dimly lit with
the introduction of the LED street
lights.
They say fun is where you find it. I
watched two people on their cell-
phones bang into each other cross-
ing Laurel Street at the post office.
Within the crosswalk, to their credit.

Voting for the
same wrong people
Editor,
On Nov. 4, we will have an elec-
tion. Prior to that, we will be inun-
dated with election materials that
will tell us who endorses whom and
say nothing but Vote for Me. TV
ads will be carefully scripted and say
nothing. Newspapers will also give
their endorsements.
The national government is $17
trillion in debt and growing.
California is more than $30 billion
in debt. Both governments are still
spending. If one owes money, one
does not have a balanced budget.
Balanced is when one has no debt
and lives within his/her means. The
thing is that neither the state nor the
feds needed to put us in this posi-
t i on.
California is a desert state, and yet
our leaders have refused for years to
bring water to this state from north-
ern climes or increase water storage
areas. Oil, gas and electricity are
transported to this state, but not
water to California.
In addition to the above, our
schools are truly defective and cost
more to run than is needed. Our
schools, when compared to other
countries, do not measure up in math
and other subjects. California used to
be the leader in education in this
country, but no more. Our streets and
our roads are deplorable. The prices
for houses and rents are also
deplorable. Our taxes are beyond
what they should be because our lead-
ers refuse to stop unnecessary spend-
ing. People, jobs and large compa-
nies are leaving or have left this
state because of the above.
So the question is, will we keep
voting for the same people and
expect a different result or change
for the better? This election and the
next will give us the answer. Think.

Tell-all books
Editor,
Robert Gates, Hillary Clinton and
Leon Panetta have written, after the
fact, memoirs critical of the Obama
administration.
All three of these people are highly
esteemed individuals of national
prestige. All of them claim to have
the highest regard for the president.
Two of them question the presidents
commitment. They question his
ability to make a decision. These
charges are probably true, but why
wait until after the fact to complain?
Why didnt they storm out of the
White House and publicly resign?
Why wait until it is too late to fix
the problems? Arent Cabinet mem-
bers supposed to be loyal to the
people as well as their president and
party?

Increased bike
capacity on Peninsula Caltrain
Editor,
Im a 23-year San Mateo resident
and six-year Caltrain bike commuter
who, on average, is bumped one to
two times per week on Northbound
269 out of Redwood City, and its
only getting worse. If it gets worse,
I will go back to commuting in my
car.
If the Caltrain board is serious
about increasing ridership on the
Caltrain Peninsula commute route,
and reducing Bay Area air pollution,
then they cant ignore the over 300
percent increase in bike patrons on
board Caltrain in the last decade. If
you connect the dots as to how
workers are changing their old com-
mute habits, then its a safe bet that
more people will be riding their
bikes as part of their daily commute.
County and city planners are adding
more bike lanes and bike/pedestrian
paths to accommodate the future
increased demand from additional
cyclists, and this needs to be inte-
grated with more bike capacity in
Caltrains future plan. If more bike
capacity is ignored for Caltrains
future, then they will become the
missing link in the overall plan
to reduce pollution and reduce traffic
congestion.

Letters to the editor
Radical leanings?
S
kepticism is the rst step toward truth. Denis
Diderot.
The other day when I was looking through my collec-
tion of columns from the Millbrae Sun between 1983 and
1994, I came across one that I wrote about a particular let-
ter to the editor that complained about Amy Carters stu-
pid radical leanings.
In case youve forgotten, Amy Carter is the daughter of
Jimmy Carter president from 1977 to 1981. She was
around 20 at the time and was taking part in a protest
against something she felt that the government was doing
that was damaging the environment nuclear testing.
The letter writer complained about parenting that,
according to him, doesnt
instill in children the
virtues they should possess
to make them good
Americans. Apparently, he
believed that, in order to be
a good American, you
dont protest. You sit back
and let government leaders
do whatever they want or
youre not a patriot. In
other words, America is the
greatest country in the
world, so shut up!
Then, as I was writing
this, I came across a report
in this newspaper that an obviously conservative school
board in suburban Denver wishes to promote patriotism
and downplay civil disobedience in their American histo-
ry classes. Many students, parents and teachers are
opposed to the proposal and have been rallying against it.
This got me to thinking about one of my favorite sub-
jects, independent thinking, and virtues. So I offer my
two bits worth, listing some of the things that I would
want any child to learn as he/she grows up so that he/she
will be a happy, thoughtful, responsible, productive per-
son a good American. I would want them to learn that
when it comes to controversial ideas, questionable prac-
tices, persuasive con men (whether politician or preacher
or sales-person or star-gazer) to ask themselves a few ques-
tions before they go along with anyone elses beliefs, dis-
card them or keep them on hold. I would encourage them to
ask themselves the following:
1). Do those people who are out to persuade me to think
the way they do and/or do what they want, really care about
me or are they out to serve their own interests, whether
self-aggrandizement, political advantage or monetary
gain?
2). Am I developing my own personal, ethical and moral
guidelines so I dont automatically adopt other peoples
views?
3). Do I need to remind myself that absolutely no one
has all the answers?
4). Do I do research on the pros and cons of an issue
before I decide whether to support it or not?
5). In relation to controversial issues, is there some-
thing I can do to help bring about change when I feel
strongly that change is needed?
As Erich Fromm wrote in Escape from Freedom: A
great many of our decisions are not really our own but are
suggested to us from the outside; we have succeeded in per-
suading ourselves that it is we who have made the deci-
sions, whereas we have actually conformed with expecta-
tions of others, driven by the fear of isolation and by more
direct threats to our life, freedom and comfort.
Now back to the girl with stupid radical leanings. Id
rather my progeny become involved in protesting injus-
tice than in falling into the Millennial trap. Id rather they
become a member of the Wilderness Society than the 49ers
Booster Club. Id rather they become an educator than the
president of a corporation that pollutes the environment.
Id much rather have them be skeptical, thinking and mind-
ful people than one of those who kneels at the feet of
every celebrity that comes along.
Where I feel the letter writer and many others of our gen-
eration erred was swallowing everything they were told
all the myths that our society foisted upon us, such as: We
should never question authority. Success is what we dis-
play on the outside instead of how we think inside.
Winning is everything. We can arrogantly try to conquer
nature without damaging results. Power and inuence are in
physical force and military strength. America is infallible.
As our nation continues to lose its grip in so many
ways, we need more thinking and feeling people who are
willing to work toward changes needed to stem the tide. In
2012, Henry A. Giroux wrote in American Education
Decits and the War on Youth: Pedagogy that enables
students to think critically and hold power accountable, is
dangerous to those who favor the status quo and it is pre-
cisely because of these so-called dangerous tendencies that
it must be embraced as essential to any viable democratic
political project.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Worries about weak-
ening global growth drove the stock
market lower Tuesday.
The U.S. economy may be strength-
ening, but the outlook elsewhere is far
less encouraging. On Tuesday the
International Monetary Fund trimmed
its forecast for global growth. A sur-
prisingly weak report on industrial
production in Germany, Europes
biggest economy, added to the con-
cerns.
Industrial companies, whose for-
tunes are closely tied those of the
global economy, led the sell-off .
Government bonds rallied as
investors snapped up safe assets,
pushing the yield on the benchmark
10-year Treasury note close to its low-
est level of the year.
After a weak September, the slump
in stocks is showing no signs of abat-
ing in October. The Standard & Poors
index has now dropped almost 4 per-
cent since closing at a record Sept. 18.
Investors are starting to get wor-
ried that Europe is going to dent
growth, said Jack Ablin, chief
investment officer at BMO Private
Bank.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell 29.72 points, or 1.5 percent, to
1,935.10. The index closed at a record
2, 011.36 on Sept. 18.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 272.52 points, or 1.6 per-
cent, to 16,719.39. The Nasdaq com-
posite fell 69.60 points, or 1.6 per-
cent, to 4,385.20.
General Motors was among the
biggest decliners in the S&P 500 after
analysts at Morgan Stanley cut their
price target for the stock. The analysts
predict that the automakers earnings
will suffer as it invests heavily in pro-
duction. GMs stock dropped $1.98,
or 5.9 percent, to $31.77.
SodaStream was another big loser.
The company said it isnt winning
over enough new customers in the
U.S. and reported preliminary sales
results that fell short of Wall Streets
expectations. The stock tumbled
$6.05, or 21.9 percent, to $21.52.
Stocks started the day lower after a
report showed that German industrial
output fell 4 percent in August, far
more than expected. The slump fol-
lows other disappointing economic
reports and suggests Europes econo-
my will not recover as strongly as
hoped in the third quarter.
Fear of a slowdown in other parts of
the world weighing on corporate prof-
its was behind the sell-off Tuesday.
Companies will soon start reporting
earnings for the third quarter and
investors will be watching out for
their forecasts for the rest of the year.
Aluminum giant Alcoa, typically one
of the rst companies to report earn-
ings, will announce its quarterly
results after the market closes
Wednesday.
Investors have become a bit more
cautious about earnings and about the
pace of global growth, said Kate
Warne, a principal at Edward Jones, an
investment rm. That reassessment
is leading to a bit more caution on
stocks.
The IMF trimmed its outlook for
global economic growth this year and
next, mostly because of weaker
expansions in Japan, Latin America
and Europe. The IMF said Tuesday that
the global economy will grow 3.3 per-
cent this year, slightly below what it
forecast in July.
Many analysts say, though, that the
investors have no need to panic and
should focus on the signs that the U.S.
economy is strengthening.
Investors should remain comfort-
able at these levels and not be pan-
icked by the recent volatility, said
Sean Lynch, a managing director of
global equity research and strategy for
Wells Fargo Private Bank.
The indications of slower growth in
Europe and elsewhere outside of the
U.S. also weighed on oil prices.
Stocks slide on global growth concerns
Yum cuts profit outlook on China troubles
NEWYORK Yum Brands cut its prot outlook for the
year on Tuesday, citing the latest food scare in China that
pummeled sales at its agship KFC chain.
The company, based in Louisville, Kentucky, said it now
expects earnings per share to rise between 6 and 10 percent
from a year ago, instead of the growth of at least 20 percent
it previously forecast.
Yum, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, is trying
to recover from a TVreport this summer that showed one of
its suppliers using expired meat. The company noted it was
hurt by the controversy even though it got a limited number
of products from the supplier in question, a unit of OSI
Group.
During the quarter, KFCs sales fell 14 at established loca-
tions in China, while Pizza Huts sales dropped 11 percent.
China is a critical division for Yum, which gets 35 percent
of its operating prot from the country.
McDonalds, which has much deeper ties to OSI spanning
the globe, was far more affected by the supplier scandal,
with many restaurants unable to serve basic items like burg-
ers and chicken. McDonalds has also warned it expects the
controversy to hurt is quarterly results, which it is slated to
report on Oct. 21.
Drug agency sued over its fake Facebook account
WASHINGTON The Drug Enforcement Administration
set up a fake Facebook account using photographs and other
personal information it took from the cellphone of a New
York woman arrested in a cocaine case in hopes of tricking
her friends and associates into revealing incriminating drug
secrets. The Justice Department initially defended the prac-
tice in court lings but now says it is reviewing whether the
Facebook guise went too far.
Sondra Arquietts Facebook account looked as real as any
other. It included photos of her posing on the hood of a
sleek BMW and a close-up with her young son and niece.
She even appeared to write that she missed her boyfriend,
who was identied by his nickname.
But it wasnt her. The account was the work of DEAAgent
Timothy Sinnigen, Arquiett said in a federal court lawsuit.
The case is scheduled for trial next week in Albany, New
York, court records show.
Wal-Mart cuts health benefits for some part-timers
NEWYORK Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to eliminate
health insurance coverage for some of its part-time U.S.
employees in a move aimed at controlling rising health care
costs of the nations largest private employer.
Wal-Mart told the Associated Press that starting Jan. 1, it
will no longer offer health insurance to employees who
work less than an average of 30 hours a week. The move
affects 30,000 employees, or about 5 percent of Wal-Marts
total part-time workforce, but comes after the company
already had scaled back the number of part-time workers who
were eligible for health insurance coverage since 2011.
The announcement follows similar decisions by Target,
Home Depot and others to completely eliminate health
insurance benets for part-time employees.
Business briefs

SAN FRANCISCO Smartphones,
tablets and other gadgets arent just
changing the way we live and work.
They are shaking up Silicon Valleys
balance of power and splitting up busi-
nesses. Long-established companies
such as Hewlett-Packard Co. and eBay
Inc. are scrambling to regain their
footing to better compete against
mobile-savvy trendsetters like Apple
and Google, as well as rising technol-
ogy stars that have built businesses
around cloud computing.
That term covers a swath of Internet-
driven services that shifted technolo-
gy from the days software users paid a
one-time fee to buy and install pro-
grams on individual machines where
they also stored all their data on hard
drives. But with the advent of the
cloud, people can now rent software
to use over the Internet. This enables
customers to access documents, pic-
tures and other vital information from
any kind of Internet-connected device,
a convenience thats become a neces-
sity during the past few years as people
increasingly rely on smartphones and
tablets instead of laptop and desktop
computers.
Business software makers such as
Salesforce.com Inc., VMware Inc. and
Workday Inc. built their entire busi-
ness models around the cloud. All have
delivered impressive revenue growth
that turned their stocks into hot com-
modities. Online storage services
Dropbox and Box have yet to go pub-
lic. But they have been minted with
big valuations from venture capitalists
who believe they will thrive amid the
increased usage of mobile devices and
cloud-computing services.
Meanwhile, Apple Inc. and Google
Inc. are prospering from the rise of
mobile devices now that their compet-
ing software systems iOS and
Android run most of the smart-
phones and tablets in the world. Apple
now reigns as the worlds most valu-
able company at roughly $600 billion
while Google ranks third at about
$400 billion.
Google is developing another way
to make money off the cloud-comput-
ing movement: leasing some of the
servers in its data centers to mobile
application and Web service providers.
Amazon.com Inc. has been doing the
same thing for an even longer period
of time, enabling providers to develop
and introduce new cloud computing
services without having to spend a lot
of money on servers sold by the likes
of HP, IBM Corp. and Oracle Corp.
Mobile revolution shakes up Silicon Valley
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. consumers
increased their borrowing in August in
the category that covers auto loans and
student loans but cut back on their cred-
it card borrowing.
Overall borrowing rose $13.5 bil-
lion in August following a revised
$21.6 billion increase in July, the
Federal Reserve reported Tuesday. The
gains have pushed total consumer debt
to a record level of $3.25 trillion.
The category that includes auto loans
and student loans increased $13.7 bil-
lion in August while the category that
covers credit card debt declined by
$208 million, the rst drop in this area
in six months.
Rising levels of consumer borrow-
ing coupled with strong employment
growth are viewed as a good sign that
consumers are more condent about
taking on debt to nance purchases.
Consumer spending accounts for 70
percent of economic activity.
Consumer spending rose a healthy
0.5 percent in August, adding to signs
that the economy was sustaining
strength in the July-September quarter.
The gains are expected to continue in
the nal three months of the year. The
government reported Friday that
employers added a strong 248,000 jobs
in September and the number of jobs
created in July and August was revised
up by 69,000. The gains helped push
the unemployment rate down to a six-
year low of 5.9 percent last month.
The August increase in total borrow-
ing put it 6.8 percent above a year ago.
Auto and student loans are up 8.2 per-
cent from a year ago while credit card
debt has risen a smaller 3.2 percent.
The large increase in student debt has
raised concerns that young Americans
are being saddled with student loans
that will keep them from buying homes
or spending as previous generations
have after college.

SEOUL, South Korea The worlds
biggest smartphone maker is suffering
a financial decline in the face of
intense competition from Apple Inc.
and upstart Chinese brands.
In a preview to earnings due out this
month, Samsung Electronics Co. said
Tuesday that its quarterly prot is esti-
mated to have fallen to its lowest level
in more than three years, dragged down
by weak sales of its agship Galaxy
phones.
Samsung became the biggest smart-
phone brand on the popularity of earli-
er Galaxy models. But Apples release
of larger-screen iPhones last month
neutralized a key advantage Samsung
had. Although Samsungs phones are
still slightly larger than the iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus, the gap has nar-
rowed enough for Apple to lure many
Americans who liked the bigger
Galaxy phones.
Meanwhile, in emerging markets
such as India and China, local brands
are making inroads into Samsungs
business, analysts say.
Analysts have repeatedly cut fore-
casts of Samsungs prot this year as
Galaxy sales lagged expectations.
Samsung expects lowest profit in more than three years

SAN FRANCISCO Joe Panik scored the
go-ahead run in the seventh inning on Aaron
Barretts bases-loaded wild pitch, and the
San Francisco Giants beat the Washington
Nationals 3-2 Tuesday night to return to the
NL Championship Series.
The wild-card Giants won 3-1 in the best-
of-ve Division Series by also scoring on a
walk and a groundout. Hunter Pence turned in
a defensive gem in right eld that helped to
hold the Nationals at bay.
Santiago Casilla put the potential tying
run aboard in the ninth on a two-out walk to
Bryce Harper, then retired Wilson Ramos on
a grounder to end it. Casilla was mobbed on
the mound as reworks shot off from the
center-eld scoreboard.
San Francisco travels to St. Louis for
Game 1 on Saturday. Its a rematch of the
2012 NLCS, when the Giants rallied from a
3-1 decit to beat the Cardinals on the way
to their second World Series championship
in three years.
Harper splashed a tying home run into
McCovey Cove in the seventh, but
Washingtons season ended with a third
straight one-run defeat, including that excru-
ciating 2-1 loss in 18 innings Saturday in
Game 2.
The Nationals never got on track offen-
sively, lacking the power that carried them
to an NL East title and the best record in the
league at 96-66.
After his wild pitch snapped a 2-all tie,
Barrett got set to intentionally walk Pablo
Sandoval. But the right-hander sailed a toss
way over the head of Ramos, who quickly
retrieved the ball near the backstop. Ramos
threw to Barrett covering the plate, where he
tagged out a sliding Buster Posey.
The call was upheld after a replay review of
1 minute, 57 seconds, denying San
Francisco an insurance run.
Just like a night earlier when Giants ace
Madison Bumgarners one miscue cost his
team the game, Barrett blew it this time.

Skyline womens soccer coach Kevin
Corsiglia thought Tuesday might be the
game the Trojans nally got over on City
College of San Francisco.
The Rams are the four-time defending
Coast Conference-North champions, but
this years edition didnt appear to be as
strong as some of the teams theyve had in
the past.
Whether playing a four-time champion or
an intramural team, there is one thing that
can help expedite a win: shots on goal.
Skyline managed just three all in the
rst half. So while San Francisco may not
be the juggernaut it has been, the Rams still
had more than enough to get past the
Trojans 2-0.
Disappointing. We havent beaten City
in four years and we thought this might be
the time we could get them, Corsiglia said.
But you cant do that without taking a
shot.
The three shots Skyline (2-1 Coast
Conference-North, 6-5 overall) did manage
to pull the trigger on were far from danger-
ous, which cant be said of the Rams
assault. Five of the Rams 27 shots hit the
framework of the goal and if not for 12
saves from Skyline goalkeeper Stacie
Garcia, the nal score would have been
much worse.
She had a fabulous game, Corsiglia said
of Garcia. Shes had a lot of those (kind of
performances) this year.
Both of the goals for San Francisco (2-0-
1, 4-2-2) came in the second half, after
Rams coach Gabe Saucedo changed up his
tactics.
The Rams home eld is notorious for
being a very tight and compact venue a
sharp contrast to Skylines international
regulation pitch, which provided plenty of
space for both teams to roam.
It took a while for San Francisco to adjust
to all that space. For most of the rst half,
the Rams used their traditional quick, one-
touch passing a style that comes in
handy in tight quarters.
At halftime, Saucedo told his team to hold
the ball longer and run at the Skyline
defense before looking to pass.
Thats what we talked about at halftime,
Saucedo said. Commit more numbers up
(into the attack) and be more aggressive.
They settled down and made better deci-
sions (in the second half).
The difference between the two halves was
pronounced. The Rams had eight shots in
the rst half, but pushed the attack in the
second, nishing with 19 shots.
With San Francisco pushing forward, the
Skyline mideld was forced to drop deeper
to defend, enabling the Rams to dominate
possession and quickly turn any clearance
from the Trojans defense back into an
attack.
They play a very aggressive, attacking
style, Corsiglia said. If you dont have

Because of its prowess at doubles, Carlmont
girls' tennis has a steadfast formula for victory
glide to three doubles wins and grind out a
singles victory.
Well, its nearly a steadfast formula.
The Scots only managed two of three dou-
bles wins Tuesday afternoon at Burlingame.
And with Carlmont clinging to a 3-2 lead, and
its No. 3 doubles match going south, the Scots
looked to No. 2 single Snehal Pandey.
Locking up with Burlingames Sarah
Sinatra, Pandey jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the
decisive set. But Sinatra rallied to win three
straight before Pandey put her away, 4-6, 6-4,
6-3, to clinch the win for Carlmont.
Pandey has a air for the dramatic by often
playing from behind. So much so, Scots head
coach Amina Halsey has a particular nickname
for her clutch sophomore.
She is the queen of the third set, Halsey
said. I dont know how she does it.
The way Pandey explains it, slow rst-set
starts work to her benet. The junior is admit-
tedly not the strongest hitter. So she relies on
the nesse, guile and scouting her opponents
on the y.
[Starting slow] helps me to see what their
strengths and weaknesses are, Pandey said.
That helps me in the second and third sets.
Pandey has only played two two-set match-
es through eight Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division matches this season. She has
worked her way up through the singles ranks.
After playing predominantly as a No. 4 single
as a freshman last season, Pandey started this
season as Carlmonts No. 3 singles. She has
solidied the No. 2 spot behind No. 1 Mar
Burgueno, who was the only other Carlmont
singles player to win her match Tuesday.
Countering one anothers lob shots, Pandey
and Sinatra concluded their match in deliberate
fashion. With Sinatra on a roll, Pandey forced
match point and locked into a short lob. She
stepped up to play it on a short hop and
returned it quickly, forcing Sinatra to shoot
errantly to end it.

We havent beaten City in four years and we

It was a quiet ride back from Sacramento
for the College of San Mateo football team.
With the San Francisco Giants monopo-
lizing most of the Bay Area sports' land-
scape Saturday evening, CSM head coach
Bret Pollack said he wasn't interested in
anything having to do with baseball. The
Giants' epic 18-inning win in Game 2 of the
National League Division Series ran concur-
rently with the Bulldogs 24-14 loss at
American River.
As much as the record length of the base-
ball playoff game was ultimately celebrated
by local fans, CSM will have much longer
to sit on its rst loss of the year with a bye-
week this weekend before the start of Big 6
Conference play Oct. 18 against Santa Rosa
Junior College.
It was a tough loss to swallow in that it
caused CSM to fall from No. 1 to No. 4 in
the California Community College Athletic
Association rankings this week. For
Pollack though, who doesnt put much
stock in rankings, it was the way the
Bulldogs lost which made for, as he
described it, the long ride home.
[American River] came out ready to
play, Pollack said of Saturdays game.
They came out swinging. We came out
looking.
From the outset, American River put a
bruising on the Bulldogs, who were leveled
with a bone-crushing hit just seconds after
receiving the opening kickoff. It was a
theme throughout much of the rst half, as
American River quarterback Tanner Trosin
led a spirited attack which saw the Beavers
outgain the Bulldogs 381-281 in total yards
while netting over six minutes more of
time-of-possession.
In the rst four weeks of the season, CSM
could do no wrong at the quarterback posi-
tion. Jeremy Cannon was impressive in the
Bulldogs first two wins. Before being
injured in the first quarter of a Week 3
matchup at Butte, the freshman completed
20-of-39 passes for 384 yards, four touch-
downs and no interceptions.
Backup Justin Burgess inherited the job
against Butte and picked up right where his
freshman counterpart left off. He led CSM to
a 51-6 win at Butte with 11-of-19 comple-
tions for 265 yards and two touchdowns.
The following week, he completed 15-of-21
passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
The most impressive quarterback stat
through CSMs rst four games was neither
helmsmen had thrown an interception. But
the turnover bug struck big-time against
American River. The Bulldogs turned over
the ball ve times, including two intercep-
tions thrown by Burgess. The 6-3 freshman
just couldnt get it going, completing just
six passes for 129 yards.
The end result is he didnt play well,
Pollack said. A lot of guys didnt. We win
collectively and we lose collectively.
Cannon looked to be part of that collec-
tive Saturday, as he was suited up and wear-
ing a knee brace on his left leg. Cannons
presence may have been more cosmetic than
anything, as CSM seemed intent to stick
with Burgess despite an ineffective attack.
The Bulldogs were also without top running
back Michael Latu for the second consecu-
tive week.
Pollack, however, said Cannon was avail-
able against American River if an injury
befell Burgess.
It was Justins thing to do unless he got
injured, Pollack said. Then if he got
injured, Jeremy was going to go in.
Pollack said Cannon and Latu are both
probable for Week 5. He said he will make a
decision as to all his starters 48 hours
before kickoff, as per CSMs standard oper-
ating procedure.
I do know they should be back for Santa
Rosa, Pollack said.
In the meantime, the Bulldogs are sched-
uled to receive their biggest stretch of
downtime throughout the season. The team
wont suit up Thursday-with just a weight-
room session schedule-then get three days
off before resuming practice the following
Monday, Oct. 13.
With conference records being the deter-
mining factor in CCCAA standings, every
team essentially gets to hit the reset button
heading into conference play. The Big 6 is a
new conference, but most of the teams are
the same ones which composed last years
Northern California North Conference.
Only Diablo Valley College is new to the
mix, replacing Butte, which is the lone
team to remain in the new Nor Cal
Conference
As for sizing up the talent in the Big 6,
Pollack-who does not care for prognosticat-
ing-had a simple summation.
Well see, he said.
CSM will have plenty of
time to stew over loss

Sequoia volleyball head coach Dustyn
Woropay had a rye chuckle about his team
going five sets for the first time in
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
play this season.
They're taking years off my life,
Woropay said.
But with Tuesday's win over Terra Nova,
25-18, 20-25, 19-25, 25-16, 15-12, the
Cherokees (4-1 in PAL Bay, 14-3 overall)
improve their standing in the PAL Bay
Division. And if the season ended today,
Woropay would be right where he wants to
be in earning one of the A-league's three
automatic postseason bids.
First-place Menlo-Atherton also won to
remain undefeated in league. But after
Sequoia entered into play Tuesday in a three-
way tie with Burlingame and Carlmont, the
Panthers defeated the Scots to knock them
into fourth place.
Of course, the Cherokees have their
toughest test Thursday against M-A.
Sequoia, however, is currently seeing the
hottest stretch of play from outside hitter
Leanne Robinson.
Tuesday, Sequoia scufed through Games 2
and 3 to fall behind 2-1 in the match. Then
Robinson emerged.
We got hot in the fourth set and Leanne
Robinson went off, Woropay said.
The 5-9 sophomore totaled 25 kills and
36 digs in the match. Rachel Fink added 10
kills, 33 digs and ve service aces. Senior
setter Angela Hudelson tabbed 40 assists.
Hudelson got [Robinson] the ball where
she could get to the middle and she took
advantage of it, Woropay said.
Terra Nova outside hitter Ali Vidali
matched Robinson to share the match-high
with 25 kills. The 6-foot senior also had six
blocks. And Vidali's prowess helped the
Tigers to a 12-8 lead in Game 5.
But then, after a side out, Sequoia's Olivia
Stubbleeld stepped to the service line. The
sophomore rattled off six straight service
points, culminating in her lone ace of the
match to end it.
With the loss, Terra Nova falls to 2-3 in
PAL Bay Division play, 12-6 overall.
In other Bay Division action, M-A (5-0,
13-1) swept South City, 25-14, 25-16, 25-
12. Bears team highs include: Leanna
Collins with 11 kills, Alexa Roumeliotis
with 15 digs and Kiana Sales with 15
assists.
Burlingame (4-1, 14-6) downed Carlmont
(3-2, 11-12) in four sets, 17-25, 25-22, 25-
21, 25-18. The Panthers were paced by
Tatum Novitzky's 19 kills. Brittney Carias
added 16 kills. Setter Samantha Johnson
had 51 assists.
In PAL Ocean Division action, Aragon
downed Jefferson, 25-4, 25-4. Miranda
Taylor had a match-high eight kills for the
Dons. Mel Moore added seven kills and
eight aces. Christina Tunzan had six aces.
Kaelah Velisano had ve kills and three
aces. Anna Joshi had ve kills.
Mills swept El Camino, 25-12, 25-11,
25-14. Jenine Francisco had 13 kills and
Claudia Lamb had ve aces for the Vikings.
San Mateo defeated Half Moon Bay in ve
sets, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22, 23-25, 15-12.
Hailey Merkes had 25 kills and Ally
Longaker had ve blocks for the Cougars.
Westmoor downed Capuchino, 25-13, 17-
25, 25-13, 28-30, 15-10. Brittany
Deckman led Cap with 14 kills, Jordan
Ramirez added 12 kills and ve aces. Jamie
Swedberg had 25 digs.
In West Bay Athletic League Foothill
Division action, Sacred Heart Prep (1-2, 14-
7) earned its rst league win, sweeping
Castilleja (0-2, 6-13), 25-21, 25-17, 25-

15 kills and 13 digs.
Menlo (3-0, 9-12) defeated Notre Dame-
San Jose, 25-12, 25-13, 25-13. Lida
Vandermeer led the Knights with 14 kills.
Elisa Merten had 30 assists. Mia
Vandermeer had four blocks.
Crystal Springs swept Priory 25-23, 25-

Cardinals sink Kershaw
again, head to another NLCS
ST. LOUIS Matt Adams could barely contain his enthusi-
asm and he didn't really try, either. He thrust both arms in
the air while still in the batter's box and added a couple of big
hops to his home run trot as he approached rst base.
Astunned Clayton Kershaw, bent over at the waist with his
hands on his knees, watched from the mound as the long drive
off Big City's bat propelled St. Louis to a fourth straight NL
Championship Series.
The Cardinals tagged Kershaw in the seventh inning for the
second straight time, riding Adams' go-ahead, three-run homer
to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for
a 3-1 win in the best-of-ve Division Series.
The Cardinals sent the Dodgers home for the second post-
season in a row with a win over Kershaw. Last year it was in
Game 6 of the NLCS.
The NLCS starts Saturday in St. Louis, with the Cardinals
hosting San Francisco in a rematch of 2012 won by the
Giants.
Trevor Rosenthal allowed two runners in the ninth before
getting Carl Crawford on a grounder for a game-ending force-
out for his third save of the series. At AT&T Park in San
Francisco, fans cheered when the rival Dodgers were eliminat-
ed.
An overwhelming favorite to win his third NL Cy Young
Award in four years, Kershaw's October resume is a wreck.
Kershaw dropped to 1-5 with a 5.12 ERAin 11 postseason
games, including three relief appearances early in his career.

Halsey said many of Carlmonts close
matches have come down to Pandeys individ-
ual matches this season.
Oftentimes, yes, because her matches go
on forever, Halsey said. But its because she
battles and she ghts and she goes for every-
thing she can.
Burgueno set the tone for Carlmonts victo-
ry with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Natalie Somers.
The two juniors battled back and forth through
the rst set, but Burgueno, leading 5-4, gained
a tempo with her massive forehand to cause
two consecutive errant returns by Somers to go
up 30-0. With set point at 40-15, Burgueno
closed on a drop shot to re a rocket to the
backline, winning on the games third errant
shot.
Moments later, on the No. 1 doubles court,
Carlmonts Morgan Watson and Veronika
Dvorakova put away their rst set against
Arisa Dintcho and Haley Shaffer when Watson
threaded the needle with a rocket down the mid-
dle between her two opponents to win it.
Watson and Dvorakova then cruised through
the second set to win, 6-4, 6-1.
Back on the No. 1 singles court, Burgueno
closed out the sweep with a spirited rally.
Somehow nding an uptick of power with each
forehand, she nally exploited a seam down
the sideline with a forehand smash to win it.
Thats something Ive been working on
generating power instead of relying on some-
body else to do it for me, Burgueno said.
Somers gave a proverbial tip of the cap to
her opponent for her strong ground strokes
and great angles.
She had really strong strokes, Somers
said. I would really try to match her, but I got
tight, which tends to happen with me late in
matches.
In No. 3 singles, Burlingames Lindsey
Schlotter defeated Sandra Strongin, 6-4, 6-4.
Burlingames No. 4 Christina Monisteri
defeated Sydney Cho, 6-4, 6-1. Carlmonts

2. Burlingame No. 3 doubles Nidi Bandrapali
and Tyler Yee defeated Camryn Choye and
Ayesha Abbasi, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.
It is the second time this season Carlmont
has defeated Burlingame, though the Panthers
were able to make the rematch a closer score by
regaining one of their regulars in Sinatra, who
was unavailable for the PAL Bay Division
opener against the Scots. Burlingame is still
without regular No. 1 single Hallie Martinucci.
Burlingame has only played on match this
season with its full lineup intact in a 4-3 win
over San Mateo.
Both Burlingame and Carlmont are coming
off a highly anticipated weekend tournament.
The rst ever Battle of the Bay hosted at
myriad Peninsula courts, including
Burlingame, Carlmont, Menlo School and
Sacred Heart Prep saw 32 teams from around
the Bay Area compete in a two-day event.
Carlmont and Burlingame each went 2-2 in the
tourney.
The tournament was organized by Monte
Vista head coach Gene Fortino, who coordinat-
ed with Halsey and Burlingame head coach Bill
Smith as site coordinators.
It was fun, Halsey said. It was the rst
time for the tournament and it seemed really
successful and my girls had a good time.

singles against Barrett in the seventh, and
then Pence walked to load the bases for
Sandoval.
Pence produced the play of the night when
he slammed his back into an archway on the
right-eld wall to rob Jayson Werth of extra
bases in the sixth. Fans enjoying the game
from the outside portwalk witnessed the
catch from just behind Pence and broke into
frenzied cheers.
The very next inning, Pence could only
watch as Harper hit a towering drive over
the right-eld arcade and between two boats
among a large group of kayakers in the
cove. It was the 104th splash homer at 15-
year-old AT&T Park and third in the postsea-
son.
Rick Ankiel did it for the Braves in the
2010 NLDS.
Hunter Strickland, the rookie reliever who
gave up Harpers solo home run to the third
deck in the seventh inning of Game 1 and
then later said he would challenge the slug-
ger again if given the chance, got his
opportunity in the seventh and paid for it.
Still, Strickland did enough to earn his
first postseason victory. Sergio Romo
pitched a perfect eighth and Casilla closed it
out before the celebration began.
Harper crushed a 3-1 pitch from
Strickland, then appeared to give the pitch-
er a look as he rounded the bases before
shouting out toward the field from the
dugout.
San Francisco fans cheered when the rival
Dodgers were eliminated by St. Louis at
Busch Stadium earlier Tuesday, putting the
Cardinals in their fourth straight NLCS.
They went crazy once their Giants clinched
another chance to play for the pennant, and
the city is counting on the Giants every-
other-year trend of winning it all.
San Francisco won the World Series in
2010 and again 2012.
Washington rookie manager Matt
Williams, groomed in the Giants system as
a player, and his stunned players head home
to the nations capital after a much quicker
exit than they envisioned.
Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong didnt
allow a hit until Ian Desmonds leadoff sin-
gle in the fifth, the Nationals second
baserunner. Harper followed with a sharp
double down the left-field line to put
Washington on the board.
Pinch-hitter Nate Schierholtz walked two
outs later and Vogelsong received a mound
visit from pitching coach Dave Righetti
before retiring Denard Span.
Winless in September, Vogelsong
returned to his top postseason form.
Pitching for the rst time since Sept. 26
after going 0-4 in ve September outings,
Vogelsong allowed two hits in 5 2-3 solid
innings.The 37-year-old journeyman has
not allowed more than one earned run in ve
postseason starts, winning Games 2 and 6
of the 2012 NLCS and Game 3 in a World
Series sweep of the Tigers.
Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez found sev-
eral ways to hurt his own cause in the sec-
ond. The Giants loaded the bases after
Brandon Crawfords one-out single before
Gonzalez misplayed Juan Perezs slow drib-
bler for an error. Vogelsong beat out a bunt
single that went untouched and then Blanco
drew a four-pitch walk to force home the rst
run.
Sandovals 14-game postseason hitting
streak was snapped with an 0-for-3 night.

SAN JOSE NHL
Commissioner Gary Bettman made
it clear last week when he came to
the Bay Area to promote San Jose's
upcoming outdoor game: It is no
accident that the Sharks are open-
ing the season against the Los
Angeles Kings.
Less than six months after
becoming just the fourth NHLteam
to lose a best-of-seven series after
winning the rst three games, the
Sharks will be there when the team
that beat them raises its second
Stanley Cup banner in three sea-
sons.
Whether it brings back raw emo-
tions from a playoff collapse or
serves as motivation for the
upcoming season, the Sharks
know they will have to deal with it
Wednesday night.
Its a big night for that organi-
zation obviously and hopefully we
can kind of spoil the little party
that theyre going to have there,
forward Logan Couture said.
General manager Doug Wilson
said he welcomes the opportunity
to open the season against the
defending champions on their big
night of celebration.
But the team plans to be in its
dressing room when the banner is
raised after pregame warmups, see-
ing no reason to watch the ceremo-
ny they know they could have pre-
vented with better play last spring.
Its not our party. Its theirs,
coach Todd McLellan said. Well
be getting ready to play.
Forward Joe Pavelski acknowl-
edges there will be plenty of dis-
tractions Wednesday night, with
memories of last seasons collapse
hard to avoid with the Kings as the
opponent and the banner-raising
ceremony.
Dealing with those will be the
key to success.
Weve got to nd a way to put
those aside because as hard as it is
to say its in the past, it is and
youve got to move forward at
some point, Pavelski said. Its
one of those things where we want
to change it as bad as we can, but
we cant and you have to accept
that. Theres two big points.
Youve got to ght through the dis-
tractions and were going to have
to play a tight team game.
After a summer lled with talk of
rebuilding and fixing what is
wrong with an organization that
has made the playoffs for 10
straight seasons but has never
reached the Stanley Cup nals, the
Sharks are excited once again to be
playing games.
There are still many questions,
most notably who will serve as
captain and alternates after Joe
Thornton and Patrick Marleau got
stripped of their letters over the
summer. McLellan is not ready to
make any announcement on that
front and has said the team may
even rotate the letters.
McLellan also will not reveal his
starting goalie as incumbent Antti
Niemi and Alex Stalock will share
the duties more evenly this season
after Niemi got the bulk of the
starts his rst four seasons in San
Jose.
While most of the same core that
lost to the Kings is still in place,
the Sharks have gotten younger
the past six months. Rookie
defenseman Mirco Mueller and
Chris Tierney are expected to play
key roles Wednesday night and
youngster Tye McGinn also is
expected to start on the third line.
Rookie forward Barclay
Goodrow will miss the rst few
games after hurting his hand
blocking a shot but also will be
counted on to contribute early.
We provided them the opportu-
nity, they came in and they earned
the spots on this team that we said
we would provide for them,
Wilson said. Theyve made the
team on performance. Thats the
way it should be.
Sharks hope to spoil Kings
celebration at season opener

possession, youre going to be chasing (the
ball) and we were chasing all game long.
After a couple of near misses early in the
second half, San Francisco nally found the
range in the 50th minute. Earning a corner
kick, San Franciscos Hannah Mikles sent a
cross into the Skyline penalty box. A
Trojan defender got to the ball rst, but she
failed to effectively clear the ball out of dan-
ger. Katrina Voris was there for the Rams,
who chipped the ball over her own head,
turned and red a shot into the upper left cor-
ner of the goal to put the Rams up 1-0.
The score stayed that way until stoppage
time when San Francisco found the back of
the net again to put the game away. A
Mikles shot from 20 yards out clanged off
the left post, but Voris was there to clean
things up, slotting the rebound into the
empty net.
While the run the play and shots were not
in Skylines favor, the Trojans were in the
game until Voris second goal.
It was always there for us, Corsiglia
said. We were one quality shot from getting
back in the game.
The Trojans showed a bit of life immedi-
ately after San Franciscos rst goal, as
Lana Shiffer and Ileana Moncada worked a
nice give-and-go near mideld, but Shiffer
lost the ball at the top of the San Francisco
penalty box.
The Trojans had a couple more counter-
attack opportunities late in the game with
the score still 1-0. But again, they not only
could they not finish the chances, they
never even managed a shot on goal.
If youre going to live and die by the
counter, you have to be perfect, Corsiglia
said.
Moncada, a sophomore who led the
Trojans in scoring last season, is Skylines
biggest threat offensively but, unfortunate-
l y, she is also the teams best midelder,
which is a conundrum for Corsiglia. He
cant keep Moncada in the mideld because
he needs her to be the teams best attacking
option. Moncada has eight goals on the
season.
We need her size and leadership up top,
Corsiglia said. Its disappointing when
you cant get her a shot.

Stanford quarterback
Kevin Hogan nursing leg injury
STANFORD Stanford quarterback Kevin
Hogan is nursing a leg injury but is expected to
start against Washington State on Friday night.
Cardinal coach David Shaw said Tuesday that
Hogan was injured during Stanfords 17-14 loss
at Notre Dame on Saturday. He declined to dis-
cuss how the injury occurred or which leg was
hurt.
Shaw said Hogan did not practice Monday,
would be limited in Tuesdays practice and will
likely participate without limitations in
Wednesdays nal practice before the game.
Backup Evan Crower has been taking snaps
with the rst-team offense and would start if
Hogan has a setback.
Hogan has started every game for No. 25
Stanford (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) since taking over for
Josh Nunes in November 2012. He has led the
Cardinal to the past two Pac-12 titles.
Former giants 3B Bill Mueller
resigns as Cubs hitting coach
CHICAGO Aperson familiar with the situ-
ation says Bill Mueller has resigned as the
Chicago Cubs' hitting coach.
The person, who conrmed reports by several
outlets, spoke Tuesday on the condition of
anonymity because the move has not been
announced.
It comes after president of baseball opera-
tions Theo Epstein announced last week that
Mike Brumley would not return as assistant hit-
ting coach. All other coaches on manager Rick
Renteria's staff were invited back.
Mueller, a former inelder who won a batting
championship with the Boston Red Sox, spent
one year with the Cubs. Chicago nished 26th
in the majors in runs, 27th in batting average
and 28th in on-base percentage.

Much as we might like otherwise, few of
us have the cash, time or energy to maintain
a full bar. And that can be a bummer, partic-
ularly as we move through the holidays and
are constantly tempted to pour ourselves
(sometimes even our guests) something cre-
ative and delicious to help make the season
merry.
So this year were taking a fresh approach
to the holiday cocktail situation. Were
going to limit ourselves to one liquor and
build an entire bars worth of cocktails
around that. This way, no worrying about
tracking down obscure (and expensive)
liquors. Just stock up on the booze and
everything else can be grabbed at the gro-
cer.
We decided to build our bar around gin. Its
an exceedingly versatile liquor that works
well with so many avors. Its spicy notes
also mean it plays well with the heavier
foods we tend to eat this time of year. And if
gin isnt your thing, most of these ideas
also would work well with vodka.
NINE FRESH
COCKTAIL IDEAS USING GIN
Start with 1 1/2 ounces chilled gin:
Grapefruit: Add 2 ounces grapefruit juice
and 1/2 teaspoon sugar to the gin in a cock-
tail shaker lled with ice. Shake and strain.
Cucumber: In a cocktail shaker, muddle 2
inches of cucumber, then add the gin, ice
and the juice of a lime. Shake and strain.
Strawberry: In a cocktail shaker, com-
bine the gin and 1 ounce of juice from a
thawed container of frozen strawberries in
syrup. Shake and strain.
Cran-ginger: In a cocktail shaker, mud-
dle two 1-inch slices of fresh ginger, then
add the gin, ice and 2 ounces cranberry
juice. Shake and strain into a glass. Top
with ginger ale.
Carrot-mango: In a blender, combine

1/4 of a peeled fresh mango, 2 ounces carrot
juice, and the gin. Blend, then pour over ice.
Cider chai: In a cocktail shaker with
ice, combine 1 tablespoon powdered
chai mix, 2 ounces apple cider and the
gin. Shake and strain.
Extra-dirty: In a cocktail shaker with ice,
combine 1/2 ounce spicy pickle juice, 1/2
ounce olive brine and the gin. Shake and
strain.
Rouge: Muddle a strip of orange zest in a
glass, then add the gin and 2 ounces merlot.
Vert: In a cocktail shaker lled with ice,
combine the gin with 2 ounces sauvignon
blanc, 1/2 ounce lemon juice and 1/2 ounce
lime juice. Shake and strain.a

When it comes to sweets, I have a surpris-
ing trick up my sleeve. And the best part
about it? It probably wont cost you a penny
because most likely you already have it, but
throw it in the trash.
Im talking about orange zest, the thin
outer skin of an orange. I dont mean the
white part, called the pith. Thats bitter. The
zest is just the paper-thin layer of colored
skin, which has tons of fragrant and avorful
oils. Those oils are perfect for tricking us
into thinking something is sweeter than it
really is. I use zest in cakes, mufns and
cookie doughs, and to bring out the sweet-
ness in root vegetables, such as roasted beets
or carrot soup.
Its easy to build a stock of this ingredient.
Any time you grab an orange for a snack,
take an extra minute to run a wand-style
grater or vegetable peeler gently over the
peel, being careful not to extract any of the
pith. The zest can be saved either by freezing
it in a small container or by drying.
To dry zest, place it in a 200 F oven, turn
off the heat and let it sit undisturbed until the
zest is dry, about 30 to 60 minutes. Let cool
completely, then place the dried zest in a
clean spice jar. Very quickly youll have a
supply of avor ready to go in either your
pantry or freezer. Note that you may need to
chop up larger pieces, and the zest will lose
some potency as it ages, so just add a smidge
extra when following recipes that call for
fresh zest.
Im sharing a seasonal favorite in our
house orange zest pudding with shaved
dark chocolate. I use low-fat milk to make
the pudding, but add an egg yolk at the end to
impart just enough richness to make the pud-
ding feel custardy and decadent. I like it
because its not overly sweet and it features
one of my favorite food combinations
orange and chocolate.
But my kids like love it for another reason:
the creamy orange color topped with dark
chocolate looks Halloween-themed.
ORANGE ZEST PUDDING
WITH SHAVED DARK CHOCOLATE
The best tool for zesting citrus is a ne
wand-style grater. These very sharp graters
are easy to use and do an excellent job of
removing the avorful zest without getting
the bitter white pith beneath it.
Start to nish: 20 minutes, plus cooling
Servings: 4
1 3/4 cups low-fat or reduced-fat milk
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup light brown sugar
Zest and juice of 1 large orange
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 ounces dark or bittersweet chocolate,
shaved using vegetable peeler or wand-style
grater
In a large saucepan over medium heat,
whisk together the milk and cornstarch until
dissolved. Add the brown sugar and continue
to whisk while bringing the mixture to a
gentle simmer. Cook, whisking constantly,
until the milk thickens to a thick pudding,
about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the orange zest and juice, then
remove the pan from the heat.
Place the egg yolk in a small bowl. One at
a time, while whisking, add a few table-
spoons of the hot pudding to the egg.
Transfer the egg-pudding mixture to the
saucepan with the remaining pudding.
Return the pudding to low heat and cook,
whisking constantly, until it just begins to
bubble. Remove from the heat, whisk in the
vanilla extract and salt, then divide between
4 parfait glasses. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, top each cup with
shaved chocolate.

W
hen I was a kid, creamy tomato
and rice soup was one of my
go-to comfort foods.
My mom would make it for me, and she
would make it from a box. The soup was
cloyingly creamy-sweet and the rice was
overcooked and mushy. I didnt much
care. It was happiness in a bowl. Ive
been pretty much chasing that flavor
memory ever since. And Ill just say,
whenever Ive come close, it hasnt
involved a box.
But Im not opposed to cracking a few
cans. Of tomatoes.
This creamy tomato and rice soup is my
work-in-progress attempt to replicate the
comfort food of my childhood, but with
better results and much better ingredients.
For depth of flavor (but still tons of
ease), I start with canned whole tomatoes.
They get a brief stint under the broiler to
caramelize the sugars and deepen the fla-
vors.
For even more flavor, the rice is cooked
in a blend of chicken broth and the toma-
to juices strained from the cans.
But its the creaminess that puts it over
the edge. Instead of cream, I use cashew
butter. Its just as rich and creamy, but
less sweet. Nuts and tomatoes work won-
derfully together, and this soup is a fine
example. The cashew butter (sold along-
side peanut butter), keeps the overall fla-
vor of the soup savory without sacrific-
ing the creaminess we find so comfort-
i ng.

on the prepared baking sheet. Mist the
tops of the tomatoes with cooking spray,
then set on the ovens middle rack and
broil for 5 minutes, or until lightly
charred. Use tongs to flip the tomatoes
and broil until the second sides are
charred, another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the broth to the pot of
tomato juice. Bring to a simmer over
medium-high heat. Add the rice, return to
a simmer, cover, then reduce heat to
maintain a simmer and cook for 15 min-
utes, or until the rice is tender. The rice
will not absorb all of the liquid.
When the tomatoes are charred, use
tongs to transfer them to a blender or
processor. Add the cashew butter, then
puree or process until very smooth. Add
the tomato-cashew mixture to the rice,
then return to a simmer. Add the thyme,
then season with salt and pepper.
Taste, then stir in hot sauce. Aim to add
just enough hot sauce to heighten the fla-
vors, but not add a discernable heat.

looking at how other states structure
their utility oversight.
Its become clear that the current
structure lacks public accountability
and transparency so my office is
reviewing options, Mullin wrote in
an email.
The city of San Carlos is calling for
the resignation of staff and commis-
sion members that shared a urry of
cozy emails with Pacic Gas and
Electric ofcials prior to a December
2013 hearing to decide the fate of Line
147, which sparked a temporary state
of emergency after earlier internal
emails pointed to an engineers worry.
Enough is enough, San Carlos
Mayor Mark Olbert said. This rela-
tionship is more than inappropriately
cozy; its corrupt.
Olbert said he is outraged at the a-
grant violation of the rules which
puts the public at risk.
City officials said the released
emails show that the utility and the
commission were aligning allegiances
prior to that decision.
The city spent hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in an attempt to ensure
the safety of our residents and now we
nd that the process was likely rigged
by PG&E and the CPUC. Our communi-
ty has been negatively impacted by
these reported violations, City
Manager Jeff Maltbie said in an
announcement referencing expert Dr.
Glen Stevick which the city hired at its
own expense.
San Bruno city ofcials, joined by
San Carlos leaders, held a press confer-
ence Tuesday morning to strengthen
demands an administrative law judge
hold the CPUC responsible.
The relationship between PG&E and
CPUC has been under re ever since the
deadly San Bruno gas pipeline explo-
sion and re that leveled a neighbor-
hood and killed eight. Recently, PG&E
released emails about communication
between it and CPUC commissioners
and staff regarding that explosion. As
a result, three PG&E executives were
fired and CPUC President Michael
Peevey must now recuse himself from
future decision making.
On Monday, PG&E released new pri-
vate emails which it said appears to
violate commission rules banning off
the record messages with decision
makers known as ex parte communica-
tions. The messages are between
Commissioner Michel Florio and for-
mer PG&E vice president Brian Cherry
regarding the possibility of restoring
the San Carlos gas line pressure. The
day after the exchanges in which
Florio refers to himself as an apolo-
gist for PG&E the four-member
commission overrode the citys
request to hold off on restoring operat-
ing pressure pending an investigation.
Olbert said he was particularly
amazed to read a Dec. 18, 2013, mes-
sage from Florio to Cherry on which
he notes Nothing like trying to x
things the day before the meeting!! Let
sanity prevail.
Fix is not a verb I would choose,
Olbert said.
Mullin said copies of those emails
must also exist on CPUC servers.
Yet they have not taken the ethical
stand for self-disclosure. Its clear they
cannot police themselves, Mullin
said.
The illegal communication is not
surprising, Maltbie said.
The city felt both looked at small
communities like San Carlos as a nui-
sance and we now have the smoking
gun that the CPUC and PG&E have
conspired to put the utilitys interests
ahead of public safety, Maltbie said.
PG&E fired Cherry in September
after a first set of released emails
between him, Florio, Peevey and
Peeveys then-chief of staff over
choosing an administrative law judge.
After the latest release, PG&E
Chairman and CEO Tony Earley said
the utility is committed to complying
with the law and its own code of con-
duct.
No excuses. Our customer and the
communities we serve expect no less,
Earley said.
PG&E also said it will cooperate
with a federal investigation into the ex
parte communications.
CPUC
Hallie Yacknin was hearing proposed
penalties in connection with emails
released this summer that critics say
show California Public Utilities
Commission members and staffers and
executives of Pacic Gas & Electric
Co. improperly and privately hashing
out agreements on issues regarding
rate cases and nancial penalties.
Tuesdays hearing was triggered by
PG&Es release in September of an
email exchange in January in which
PG&E successfully lobbied the top
staffer of commission President
Michael Peevey for a change of judges
in a rate case.
PG&E also released a new batch of
emails on Monday, the eve of the hear-
ing. Those emails described Peevey
seeking $1.1 million in political and
other donations during a 2010 dinner
in which he and then-PG&E Vice
President Brian Cherry also discussed
at least ve PG&E regulatory matters
before the commission.
While only PG&E was facing penal-
ties Tuesday in what Yacknin, the
judge, called the judge-shopping
case, those speaking Tuesday to urge
penalties said the commission was at
fault as well.
Ofcials from San Bruno have been
among the sharpest critics of both
PG&E and its regulators since a 2010
PG&E gas line blast that killed eight
people in the city. PG&E is facing fed-
eral criminal charges in connection
with the explosion.
Given the controversy that sur-
rounds the commission and the lack of
trust ... all urge the commission to
spend the time and effort necessary to
change your way of business, said
Steven Meyers, an attorney represent-
ing San Bruno.
The utilities commission says it
initiated a third-party review of its
communications with regulators,
but it has not otherwise responded
to the release of the emails. Neither
Peevey nor California Gov. Jerry
Brown have commented on the
actions described in the emails.
PG&Es legal counsel at Tuesdays
hearing described the back-channel
contacts in the emails as rare events
rather than standard practice, and
stressed that the utility had let go the
three PG&E executives it believed were
responsible.
Commissioners also bore responsi-
bility in the judge-shopping case, util-
ity attorney Martin Schenker told
Yacknin.
We dont believe its appropriate
for PG&E to be training commission
members on compliance with their
rules, Schenker said.
Yacknin already has said PG&E faces
possible financial penalties in the
judge-shopping. San Bruno and anoth-
er PG&E critic, The Utility Reform
Network, variously asked Tuesday for
the ban on private contacts and for
appointment of an independent moni-
tor to oversee contacts between the
utility and the utility commission.
The administrative law judge is slat-
ed to give her recommendation to the
utilities commission on the penalties
in coming weeks.
