San Mateo Union High
School District hopes to fill
position by Memorial Day

To quell its lack of space, the

Sequoia Union High School
District placed a voter-approved
$265 million facilities bond
measure on the ballot last spring
that will add six additional classrooms to Menlo-Atherton High
School. It will also help fund
building two new small magnet

schools of 300 to 400 students

each. The district plans to close
on a contract for $3.4 million for
a 1-acre site at 535 Old County
Road, located between Holly
Street and San Carlos Avenue near
El Camino Real, on Jan. 6, 2015,
according to Trustee Alan Sarver.
The property is currently a light

warehouse industrial space, said

Superintendent Jim Lianides. For
the other magnet, the district is
considering another light industrial building on a 2-acre site at
150 Jefferson Drive, between
Highway 101 and the Bayfront
Expressway in east Menlo Park.

Stepfather sentenced to 40 years

prison for decades of sex abuse
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A Foster City man convicted of molesting

two family members for more than a decade
was sentenced to 40 years in prison and
ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
Geoffrey Baggett, 58, also faces possible
retrial on one count where a judge granted
the defense request for a new trial.
Prosecutors will announce whether they will
pursue the option at a Jan. 8 court appearance.
A jury convicted Baggett in July of 28
felonies including continuous sexual abuse
of a child, lewd acts with a child under the
age of 14, oral copulation by force and rape.

At his sentencing hearing, the primary victim

addressed the court about
how the abuse continues
affecting her and asked a
judge to sentence Baggett
to life, according to the
District
Attorneys
Office.
Baggett
allegedly
Geoffrey
began sexually abusing
Baggett
his 7-year-old stepdaughter in 2000 and continued until she was 16.
Child Protective Services investigated the
abuse in 2009 but the girl refused to implicate Baggett who had threatened to kill him-

self if she told anyone what was happening,

prosecutors said.
Baggett stopped molesting the girl after
the investigation but she contacted Foster
City police in 2012 after learning that her
9-year-old cousin was spending time with
Baggett, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
The girl told police that Baggett was giving her back massages on a bed, prosecutors
said.
The stepdaughter called Baggett under
police direction and he made numerous
admissions of his behavior over the phone,
prosecutors said.
Baggett is in custody without bail.

Prosecutors dismissed human trafficking

The move leaves Shayne Joshua Lusalah

for allegedly breaking a motel window.
The decision to drop the charges was due
in large part to the victim being unreachable, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The woman was similarly absent at

OAKLAND A window washer who fell
11 stories from a downtown San Francisco

and sustained severe brain trauma when he
landed on the Toyota Camry after falling
from the top of a bank building in San

At first, her husband could not recognize
members of their extended family, but his

Despite the alleged victims absence,

The emails date back to 2010 and feature a
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. executive who
has since left the company, Brian Cherry,
describing private discussions with
California Public Utilities Commission
President Michael Peevey, commission
member Michael Florio, and others on
PG&E project proposals and other regulatory issues.
A state utilities commission spokesman,
Christopher Chow, had no immediate comment on the latest emails, the fourth series
of emails to be released featuring PG&E
officials discussing pending commission
decisions on PG&E rate cases, penalties and
other issues with Peevey, Florio and other
commission officials.
PG&E also said Monday it would turn
over a total of 65, 000 emails between the
utility and state regulators to the com-

mission by mid-February.
The disclosures grew out of a National
Transportation Safety Board investigation
that concluded lax oversight by the utilities
commission contributed to a 2010 PG&E
pipeline explosion that killed eight people
in a San Francisco suburb.
The U.S. attorneys office has indicted
PG&E on charges alleging obstruction of
justice in that case. PG&E said in October
that both the U.S. attorneys office and the
California attorney generals office have
informed the utility that they also are now
investigating email communications
between PG&E and state regulators.
The emails released Monday feature
Cherry describing private talks with Peevey
and others on PG&E projects that included a
wind farm and a power plant. One email features Peevey describing an acquaintance

who wished to be hired as a PG&E officer.

PG&E said Monday it did not hire the applicant put forward by Peevey.
Another email describes Peevey discussing the deadly 2010 explosion in San
Bruno. PG&E has yet to decide upon
PG&Es penalties for the blast.
In that email, from January 2013, Cherry
describes Peevey saying the city of San
Bruno could expect nothing from the commission if the matter is litigated rather than
settled out of court. The same email features Peevey allegedly describing San
Bruno city leaders, who have been active in
pressing for regulatory changes since the
pipeline blast, as emotional and nuts.
Chow,
the utilities
commission
spokesman, did not immediately respond to
a request to speak to Peevey and Florio
about the new emails. Attempts by the

Associated Press to reach Cherry for comment have been unsuccessful.

PG&E spokesman Keith Stephens said
Monday that most of the PG&E employees
named in the emails are no longer with the
company. In addition to earlier internal
measures taken by the utility as the public
controversy grew over the disclosures, the
utility has revamped its training for
employees who deal with regulators, and is
making progress on hiring a new chief
ethics officer, Stephens said.
More broadly, PG&E is urging the CPUC
to adopt new standards and processes that
will allow the public to have easy, open
access preferably electronically to
communications the commission has with
all parties interacting with it, the utility
added in a statement.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co.s statement
Monday adds to growing accusations of private dealings between utilities and the
California Public Utilities Commission.
Emails released earlier this year describe
former PG&E officials discussing rate
cases, PG&E campaign donations and other
matters at dinners with Peevey and other
private meetings with other state utility
commission executives.

California Supreme Court nominee confirmed

By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A state panel on

Monday confirmed another California
Supreme Court appointment by Gov. Jerry
Brown a move that likely tilts the conservative-leaning court further to the left.
Leondra Kruger, 38, a deputy assistant
U. S. attorney general, won unanimous
approval by the three-member Commission
on Judicial Appointments.
The confirmation of Kruger, who is black,

brings down the courts

average age and will give
California one black,
one Hispanic and three
Asian justices. Four
women will be on the
panel.
Kruger is a Yale
University law school
Leondra Kruger graduate who appears to
be a rising star in the
legal profession. Critics, however, have
pointed out that she has never served as a

judge and has spent most of her legal career

outside California, although she is a native
of Los Angeles area.
Kruger responded to the criticism at her
appointment hearing, saying her career had
exposed her to a wide variety of legal
issues, and she hoped to draw on the expertise of her colleagues on the court regarding
any questions about California law.
It is both a personal and professional
delight to come back home, she said.
No one spoke in opposition of the nomination at the public hearing.

Attorneys who worked with Kruger during

her years at the U.S. Department of Justice
praised her as someone who was neutral,
objective and sensitive to the people she
served. Kruger has argued 12 cases on behalf
of the federal government before the U.S.
Supreme Court and also has served as a law
professor.
She listens, she thinks, she listens, she
thinks, she listens some more, said
Benjamin Horwich, a former assistant to
the solicitor general, describing Krugers
approach to cases.

Man who shot 100-plus times at officers identified
AUBURN A 53-year-old Northern California man was
identified Monday as the person who was killed by a sheriffs deputy after firing more than 100 rounds at officers and
neighboring houses.
The Placer County Sheriffs Office identified the man as
William Everett Corson, who lived in the Auburn home
where he died during Sundays hours-long standoff.
Investigators also found that his home about 35 miles
northeast of Sacramento was destroyed after Corson set it on
fire using the accelerant in a Molotov cocktail-type device.
Corson was shot by a deputy as he fired on officers from
the back of the burning house. His body was later burned in
the fire that consumed his home.
The guy was going out the back door and shooting in the
direction of that officer and others, Placer County sheriffs
Lt. John Poretti said Monday. The deputy was with a special

Court upholds ruling for California Delta salmon

Christie doing 2016 foreign policy homework

By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. Its after 9 p.m.

on a Sunday night in late November
and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is
deep into a conference call, talking
about nuclear weapons and Iran.
One voice is advocating a hard line,
arguing against allowing Iran any
capability to enrich uranium. Another
summarizes the status of current negotiations and argues that forcing Iran to
give up enrichment entirely isnt realistic.
This is how Christie has spent many
of his nights during a year in which he
raised record-setting amounts of campaign cash for his fellow Republican

governors
and
methodically tried
to recover from a
political
scandal
involving traffic
jams near a New
York City bridge.

And I think that reflects a difference
in terms of what they perceive that
they need to accomplish here very
early on to be viable as presidential
candidates, Chen said.
Such preparation is expected from
prospective White House candidates,

Ex-officer not charged in fatal Milwaukee shooting
MILWAUKEE A white Milwaukee police officer fired after
killing a mentally ill black man in April wont face criminal
charges, the top county prosecutor said Monday, a decision
that prompted the U.S. attorney to later announce a federal
investigation of the incident.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said
Christopher Manney wont be charged because he shot Dontre
Hamilton in self-defense. Manney is at least the third white
police officer across the country to avoid charges in the past
month after a confrontation that led to a black mans death.
(Manneys) use of force was privileged and justified,
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said during a news conference. On a human level, of course, its tragic ... (but) our job is not to tell people necessarily what they
want to hear.
After waiting eight months for the decision, Hamiltons
family reacted with disappointment and anger. At an emotional news conference on the steps of the federal courthouse, family attorneys said they had called for a federal investigation.
They also urged that protests be peaceful so as not to dishonor Dontres name and the Hamilton family name.

French power company
to pay $772M in bribery case
WASHINGTON A French power and transportation
company has agreed to pay $772 million to resolve allegations that it bribed high-ranking foreign government officials for lucrative projects, the Justice Department said
Monday.
Federal prosecutors said Alstom S.A. falsified its records
and paid tens of millions of dollars in bribes for help in
obtaining more than $4 billion in projects in countries
including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the Bahamas.
The bribes were often funneled through middlemen hired
as consultants and who were referred to in internal documents by code names such as Mr. Geneva and Mr. Paris,
officials said.
Alstoms corruption scheme was sustained over more
than a decade and across several continents, Deputy
Attorney James Cole said at a news conference. It was
astonishing in its breadth, its brazenness, and its worldwide
consequences.

Dozens injured in three separate attacks in France

PARIS French authorities urged calm after a series of
attacks across the country left dozens of people injured, and
said there was no evidence the violent acts were connected
by any terrorist motive.
In the latest incident, 11 people were injured after a driver
crashed his van into a crowded Christmas market in western
France Monday evening. The driver then stabbed himself
several times and is among five people hospitalized in serious condition, authorities said.
The attack, in the town Nantes, came after a pair of weekend attacks: one in which another driver ran down 13
bystanders in the city Dijon in eastern France, and one in
which a recent convert to Islam knifed police officers outside the city of Tours.

We call on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of

Trustees to nd a new location for Design Tech Charter High
School for the 2015-2016 school year. The Trustees should
honor their original commitment to the Mills community that
co-location on the Mills High School campus would be limited
to one year.
Mills High School should not be placed at risk. Mills High
School has a proven track record of educational excellence
and the Trustees should do everything in their power to
preserve and enrich this outstanding educational asset for our
community.
The Mills High School campus is simply not large enough to
support the growing needs of the charter high school. A
Board-appointed co-location taskforce previously concluded
that a second year for the charter school on the Mills campus
was untenable and detrimental to Mills High School. Design
Techs enrollment is expected to double next year, requiring
additional classrooms and other facilities of up to 28,000sf to
support its experimental program.
We strongly urge the Board of Trustees to act in the best interest of all our students. Find a new location NOW for Design
Tech that enables students at both schools to thrive.

Have you ever been

in the situation
where you need to
select a Funeral
Home? Contrary to
the popular myth
not all Funeral
Homes or Cremation organizations are the
same. Reputation, staff, facilities, level of
service, or the lack of service, are all very
important items to consider when selecting a
Funeral Establishment to care for you and
your loved-ones. Imagining that youll
never need to cross this bridge can be naive.
Giving this idea some thought right now and
doing a bit of easy research on selecting a
Funeral Home could help you someday
when you may need it the most.
The death of a loved-one requires
professional assistance. Where do you turn?
Many of you are familiar with a local
Funeral Home that youve been comfortable
going to for years. Then there are those of
you whove done your homework by talking
with various Funeral Directors in-turn
making an educated selection in a relaxed
and unhurried manner. Some of you have
needed to select a Funeral Home when time
was sensitive. Starting a blind search from
square one could become daunting. To help
yourself be better prepared it may be
prudent to ask yourself this question: How
do you quickly select a funeral organization
with staff that will care for your loved-one
in a kindhearted respectable manner, will
work with you or the next-of-kin with
professional concern, yet guide you
sympathetically
and
with
sincere
understanding? This may seem like asking
for the moon, but there are Funeral Care

Professionals out there who really do want

to help, such as those members of our crew
at CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. Based
on all the complements we receive, along
with letters of thanks from the families we
serve, I know we are doing the right thing in
the right way at a fair cost.
Now, in no way is my intention to lessen
the work of my local colleagues here on the
Peninsula. I know many capable individuals
in this field who are well intentioned and
experienced, along with Concierge Funeral
Directors who have earned high esteem
among their peers while serving families
with excellence for decades. But, in other
instances I have attended funerals elsewhere,
out of town, and have had very
disappointing experiences at some large
corporate run funeral enterprises.
The point I am trying to make is to be
aware of the Funeral Establishments you
visit and notice how their staff conducts
themselves. Are they sincere and caring in
their actions and deeds or are they just going
through the motions by providing bare
minimum requirements? Are their facilities
and equipment kept in an orderly and
attractive fashion or does the place seem
worn and threadbare? Is their reputation in
the community one of high quality or is it
one of mediocrity and inferiority? Are they
owned by a local family, a corporation or an
out of state entity? Keeping these standards
in mind can help you find a Funeral Home
to turn to that may be of immense comfort.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

An apology to 49er fans

Jed York should apologize to the faithful
49er fans still living in San Francisco.
He should apologize for their forced

I would remind Lingaas that, indeed
charges were dropped in that case and he

the 49ers got tired of the controversy
swirling around him and could no longer

McDonald on the team. I can see why some

assume McDonald is guilty, but I have a

The end of freedom

Editor,
Right wing talking heads are understandably very upset about President Obamas
plan to open the doors to Cuba, siting loss
of freedom and kissing up to socialism.
I guess it was President Nixon who sent
uson this slippery slope of picking away
at our freedom by opening the doors to
China. Then President Reagan couldnt
help himself, but worked with Soviet leaders to open those doors, further jeopardizing our freedom. And now President
Obama, shouldnt he rather undo the damage done by his Republican predecessors,
like he usually does? If he continues this
trend, well run smack out of closed doors,
and before we know it, we may have
befriended the whole world.
Isnt it about time we get our precious
freedom back by closing the doors to foreign nations, rather than opening the few
remaining? With greater freedom for the
Cubans, there is less freedom left for us, in
this zero-sum game of international politics. Finally, imagine what it means for
the future of the Republican party. After
all, in order to survive, thegrowing old
partyneeds a steady supply of enemies,
real and imaginary, foreign and domestic.

Editor,
Once again someone expresses an opinion based on a lack of knowledge of our
history. In Terry Wyrschs letter in the
Dec. 13 edition of the Daily Journal, she
wants us to acknowledge Christmas in the
Christmas Tree,because she believes it is
a Christian tradition, but it isnt. The tree,
an evergreen, is a pagan tradition, and part
of the pagan celebration of winter coming
to an end. Superstitious pagans believed
that plants that did not die in winter, or
shed their leaves, like the holly in a
wreath, were favorites of their god. The
tree, decorated or not, has nothing to do
with the birth of Jesus, anymore than a
rabbit and colored eggs have anything at
all to do with the resurrection. Those
beliefs and ceremonies were a concession
the Roman church made to the pagans who
did not want to totally give up their previous rites when being coerced into converting to, for them, the new religion.

Enhanced interrogation
Editor,
Enhanced interrogation or as some call
it, torture, confronts a society with a
moral dilemna. When and why to use it, if
ever. Ill admit; in some situations I would
tend to tolerate it.
Imagine: if, just days before the tragedy
in Pakistan, the CIA got hold of one of the
conspirators. Now should we use the torture and have a chance to prevent the massacre of 141 people, many of them children or stay on the high moral ground and
refuse to try even when other methods
failed?
Risking to be accused of sympathizing
with the Nazis (most of my stepfathers
family was murdered by Nazis), let me
remind you that the Gestapo was able to
destroy almost all the underground organizations by using harsh interrogation. So
did the Soviet KGB. I bring it up only to
show that the torture yields results, both
true and false; its up to the experts to verify or dismiss the information. And it is
important to distinguish the reason for
using it, to occupy a country and enslave
its people or to save innocent lives. I am
honestly glad I do not have to make that
decision and carry the heavy burden for
life.

PS and smartphone maps are a godsend to those visiting new areas or

are otherwise directionally chal-

lenged.
Unfortunately for some, the direction they
are being sent is a far cry from heavenly.
One dark night last week, a driver in
Atherton turned his Prius onto the Caltrain
tracks under orders by his global positioning system. Guess the system didnt account
for the four-car train barreling down the line
at the time. Thankfully, the driver was able
to ee the stuck
vehicle before
the southbound
train smacked
straight into it
and pushed it
about 1,500
feet.
Bet next time
the driver uses a
good old-fashioned map.
But amazingly this driver is
not alone in
nding out that GPS is not always the best
copilot.
In March 2012, some Japanese students
on holiday in Australia ended up in the bay
after their GPS told them a road was just
around the corner. OK, maybe thats understandable.
A little more head-scratching: In June
2011, three women near Seattle drove their
rental vehicle down a boat launch into
Mercer Slough where it sank after the ladies
scrambled to safety. Perhaps one of the rst
responders summed it up best in a news article about the rescue I dont know why
they wouldnt question driving into a puddle
that doesnt seem to end.
The tales of abdicated direction responsibility dont end there. A New Jersey driver
made an illegal left turn on a highway that
caused a four-car pileup. The GPS made him
do it, he essentially said. A British woman
drove into a river in the middle of heavy
rain thanks to the GPS. A bus driver carrying a high school softball team drove the
12-foot high vehicle under a clearly 9-foot
high footbridge and wondered why he got
stuck. Sure, the navigation told him to go
that way but then again the GPS probably
wasnt doing the math on the height limitations.
A German driver who ignored a closed for
construction sign because his GPS said go
forward ended up in a massive sand pile.
Oops.
Reliance on technical guidance rather than
antiquated tools like maps and brain cells is
not limited to the road. Without a cellphone, Im admittedly useless. The device is
calendar, Rolodex, notepad, to-do list, calculator, timer, kitchen measurement convertor. I perpetually want to know what the
weather is expected to be. Maybe rain, my
friends will say in response to my endless
queries. Well, what does the phone say? I
reply. The phone knows all. At least until it
doesnt.
While this reliance on the information
were spoon-fed has its fun moments ever
see footage of somebody blindly reading off
a teleprompter? it is also a bit sad to realize how much weve become the blind leading the blind. I dont expect this to change.
In fact, I doubt Ill change much myself
since my directions often tend more toward
take a left at the red house than it ever
relies on north and south. That said, if my
car or phone directs me down a boat launch
Im pretty sure water on the horizon will
give me pause. GPS is a handy tool but it is
no fool-proof replacement for GCS good
common sense.

The stun gun and body camera maker reported nearly 1,900 orders
received and expected to ship during the fourth quarter.

The Dow Jones industrial average

and the Standard & Poors 500 index
closed at record highs Monday as the
market delivered its fourth gain in as
many trading days.
Pharmaceutical and technology
stocks were among the big risers,
while shares in energy companies fell
sharply as the decline in oil prices
deepened. Discouraging data on U.S.
home sales failed to derail the Santa
rally, what traders often call a preChristmas advance.
Trading volume was lighter than
usual as many investors looked ahead
to the Christmas holiday.
Were getting a good Santa Claus
rally, said Sam Stovall, U.S. equity
strategist at S&P Capital IQ.
After a strong finish last week,
investors remained mostly in a buying
mood Monday. The major stock indexes drifted between small gains and
losses in the morning, as traders
digested the latest housing data.
The National Association of
Realtors reported that sales of previously occupied homes fell 6.1 percent
last month to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 4.93 million. Thats the
slowest pace in six months.
By late morning, the major indexes
were rising and holding on to gains

that were modest, but good enough for

a new set of record highs.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 7.89 points, or 0.4 percent, to
2, 078. 54. The S&Ps most recent
record close was 2,075.37, set on Dec.
5.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 154. 64, or 0. 9 percent, to
17,959.44. Its last record close was
17,958.79 on Dec. 5.
The Nasdaq composite picked up
16. 04 points, or 0. 3 percent, to
4,781.42.
The Dow and S&P 500 are both up
for the month, while the Nasdaq is
down. The three indexes are up for the
year.
Market gains this year have been in
line with that of prior years that were
also preceded by strong growth, noted
Stovall.
On average, the S&P has gained 10
percent in the years following 20plus-percent advances, he said. And
were doing just that.
The market is coming off a big
advance last week, which gave the
S&P 500 its second-biggest weekly
gain this year.
The latest rally kicked off last
Wednesday, when Federal Reserve
Chair Janet Yellen delivered remarks
that eased investors concerns that the
central bank would start raising interest rates in response to slowing

growth in other major economies.

Looking ahead, trading volume is
expected to thin out the next couple of
days leading into Christmas.
A lot of traders and a lot of
investors are going to take the whole
week off and that might lead to some
volatility, said Mike Serio, regional
chief investment officer at Wells Fargo
Private Bank.
Several economic barometers,
including government reports on
durable goods, personal income, consumer sentiment and the latest estimate of growth in the third quarter, are
due out this week.
If we see any of those numbers really off track, it might affect the market, Serio said.
Eight of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 index rose Monday, led by technology stocks. Health care and energy
stocks declined.
Pharmaceutical stocks were among
those making big moves Monday.
Achillion Pharmaceuticals shares
gained 9 percent after the biotechnology company reported positive results
from two studies focusing on a treatment regimen for hepatitis C patients.
The stock rose $1. 28 to $15. 49.
Meanwhile, Enanta Pharmaceuticals
vaulted 10.1 percent after it received
regulatory approval for a hepatitis C
treatment. Enanta added $4. 70 to
$51.32.

Its down to the wire for online shopping

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA As the holiday shopping season winds down, FedEx, UPS and online
retailers are using the last few days to try to
avoid the problems that occurred last year
when severe winter weather and a surge in
late orders from shoppers caused delivery
delays.
UPS spent $500 million this year upgrading its systems and processes and increased
the number of seasonal workers it hired 11
percent to 90,000 to 95,000. The company,
which pegged Monday as its busiest day of
the year, expects to deliver more than 34
million packages on its busiest day ever.
By midday Monday, UPS spokesman Andy
McGowan said he expected packages to be
delivered as planned. All UPS air and
ground operations are operating smoothly,
he said.

FedEx predicted its busiest day would be a

week earlier, on Dec. 15, when it expected to
move 22.6 million packages. It added
50,000 seasonal workers to help with
demand this year and invested in a new software system called Radar for FedEx Express
that helps supervisors anticipate fluctuations in package arrivals hours before an airplane carrying cargo lands.
The fallout from last year was a lot of disappointed customers. They dont care about
the weather if they dont get their package
on time, said Jeff Wise, managing director
of Southeast district operations in Atlanta.
But weve had 11-and-a-half months to figure it out and make sure service levels stay
high this year.
FedEx hasnt released specific figures, but
company spokeswoman Katie Wassmer said
Monday that FedEx has already had several
days with surges in demand that have been
among the busiest in company history,

with no significant problems so far.

Package carriers also say they have been
working closely with e-commerce retailers
to help avoid problems. We are working
with the biggest e-commerce shippers in an
ongoing collaboration to understand capacity limitations and their needs, said Sean
Healy, VP of Global Planning and
Engineering for FedEx Express. Were
much more effective in planning with our ecommerce customers than weve ever been.
Thats key because retailers have been
pushing shipping deadlines later and later
and extending free shipping offers. This
year, Amazon extended its free-shipping
deadline by one day to Dec. 19. Wal-Mart,
Barnes & Noble and other retailers also said
Dec. 19 was the cutoff to getting orders
delivered by Christmas.
Still, retailers dont want to overpromise
on shipping offers. They cant afford a
repeat of last year when UPS and FedEx

Coming soon to U.S.: Cuba Libre, with real Cuban rum

By Jennifer Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI U.S. rum aficionados are abuzz

over the possibility of mixing a Cuba Libre
with authentic Cuban rum, now that they
will be able to bring home liquor distilled in
the communist nation.
Relaxed limits on what licensed U.S. travelers can bring home mean that Americans
will be able to enjoy small quantities of the
liquor at home. But, with the embargo still
in place, the rum wont be flooding bars or
the market.
And its unclear what the news means for

industry titan Bacardi, which was driven

from its Cuba headquarters by the 1959
Castro revolution. In the past, Bacardi has
left the door open for a return to its homeland. But company representatives wouldnt
give details when asked Thursday what, if
any, plans it has if the more than 50-yearold embargo on Cuban goods ends, now that
President Barack Obama is working to normalize relations with the country.
We hope for meaningful improvements
in the lives of the Cuban people and will
follow any changes with great interest, the
company said in a statement. Bacardi said
its waiting to see what effects thawing

U.S.-Cuba relations may have.

In 1997, Bacardi bought the legal rights
to the recipe and name of Havana Club, a
popular rum created in 1935 by a Cuban family who eventually fled the Castro revolution. Bacardi used the recipe and name for a
rum it distilled in Puerto Rico.
But the name would become tangled in a
long-running U.S. trademark fight with
French wine and spirits maker Pernod
Ricard.
Pernod Ricard, in partnership with stateowned Cubaexport, already had been selling
Havana Club rum, distilled in Cuba, in other
countries.

Its becoming easier to shop overseas this holiday season

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK This holiday season, its

almost as simple to shop on the other side
of the world as it is to buy from a store
down the block.
International online payment services
like AliPay and PayPal are trying to ensure
that a South Carolina fashionista can buy a
faux fur vest from China with just a few
clicks on her computer and a New Zealand

biker can use his smartphone to pick up a

rare part from a Colorado company.
These services come as shoppers and
retailers alike have a growing appetite to
buy items from any country, regardless of
distance and regulations. In fact, a PayPal
report estimates that by 2018, about 130
million shoppers will be spending over
$300 billion a year across the border, up
from $105 billion in 2013.
The reality is pretty much nothing in a
store is locally produced, so 99 percent of

what youre buying is already a cross-border transaction. Were cutting out the middle-man, said Anuj Nayar, senior director
of global initiatives at PayPal, which is
being spun off by eBay Inc.
Companies are working on fixing the
biggest hurdles for international shopping:
The perception that it costs a lot and takes
a long time. Theyre handling the conversion of currency behind-the-scenes and giving shoppers the prices in their own currency.

failed to deliver some packages by

Christmas due to a combination of poor
weather and overloaded systems, causing
angry customers. Neither of the top two
deliverers said how many packages were
delayed, but noted it was a small share of
overall holiday shipments.
So far, improvements seem to be working
according to tracking-software firm
ShipMatrix Inc., which said that during the
week ended Dec. 13, FedEx deliveries were on
time 96 percent of the time, up from 90 percent last year. UPS deliveries were on time 95
percent, compared to 92 percent last year.
Package carriers hope everyone has an
experience like Lori Twiss, 51, an executive
assistant at Deloitte who lives in Atlanta.
She shops online a lot at Nordstom, Target
and Walmart and has had no problems so far.
Everything has been on time and speedy
and free shipping, she said. I love free
shipping.

Business brief
Consumer group sues
Aetna, alleges discrimination
SAN DIEGO A consumer advocacy
group has filed a class-action lawsuit
against Aetna Inc. saying a new policy
violates the privacy of people with HIV
and AIDS by requiring them to get their
medications from its mail-order pharmacy.
Consumer Watchdog filed the lawsuit
Friday in federal court in San Diego. It says
sending the drugs through the mail puts
privacy at risk because packages could end
up at the wrong address or be seen by others. It also says the mail is not a reliable
way to ensure people get their medications
on time.
The group alleges the policy also violates the federal health care law because it
discourages people with HIV and AIDS
from signing up for the companys insurance.
Aetna spokeswoman Cynthia Michener
said the policy is part of its ongoing strategy to keep health plans affordable and
help with medication adherence. People
can also opt out, she said.
To opt out, members only have to call
the number on their ID card, she said in an
email to the Associated Press. Requests
will be processed the same day.

Terra Novas Milch looks to build on career night

Athlete of the Week

Let Jared Milch be a lesson to all the kids

with driveway basketball hoops. Make sure
those hoops are calibrated at regulation
height.
Milch has a regulation hoop in his backyard. Now a 6-3 guard at Terra Nova, Milch
has been playing on that regulation home
court for as long as he can remember; or, as
he describes it, forever.

The discipline has served him well. The

only non-senior in the Tigers starting lineup, Milch currently leads the team in scoring, averaging 15 points per game.
Through four games last week, Milch
increased his average quite a bit. Last
Tuesday in Terra Novas offensive explosion in a 72-55 win over James Lick, Milch
led the charge by hitting six 3-pointers en
route to totaling a career-high 32 points.

He followed that by leading the Tigers to a

consolation championship in the Fremont
Holiday Basketball Tournament. Through
three games, Milch scored 41 points. His
best single-game performance came in
Saturdays 60-56 win over Independence in
the consolation championship game, with
Milch notching 16 points.

Big win for Bengals

By Joe Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI With everything on the

line, the Bengals picked off Peyton
Manning in the closing minutes twice, no
less and ran themselves right back into
the playoffs.
One breakthrough win gave them a chance
for another.
Dre Kirkpatrick returned Mannings third
interception of the game for a touchdown in
the closing minutes on Monday night, completing a rain-soaked rally for a 37-28 victory over the Denver Broncos and a spot in the
playoffs.
The Bengals (10-4-1) secured a playoff
berth for the fourth consecutive season, a
franchise record. Theyll play in Pittsburgh
next Sunday night, with the winner taking
the AFC North title.
And then, Cincinnati will get yet another
chance to break one of the longest playoff
droughts in NFL history no postseason
victory since the 1990 season. First, they go
to Pittsburgh to determine when and where
theyll play.
Well, we have another hump day next
week, coach Marvin Lewis said.
Kirkpatricks 30-yard return with 2:41 left
capped a game of big plays long runs, big
kick returns and two interceptions run back
for scores. With 67 seconds left, Kirkpatrick
picked off Manning again to clinch it.
Im not saying I knew he was going to do
that, Kirkpatrick said. The guy changes
plays. Hes a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
When he came back to my side, I was waiting
for the ball.
Manning rallied the Broncos (11-4) to three
touchdowns in the third quarter and a lead, but
finished with a season-high four interceptions. The loss handed New England homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
I shouldnt have thrown it, said Manning,
who was 28 of 44 for 311 yards with two
touchdowns. Four interceptions, youre not
going to beat many good football teams.

Part of the secret to Milchs success is his
father Kenny, who also happens to be Terra

to discover the sport of basketball before
they can walk and talk, someone else need

Hillsdale on
top of world
in PAL hoops
A
question I often get asked at this
time of year is: who will be the
best boys basketball team in the
Peninsula Athletic League this season?
With it being so early into the 2014-15
season, its hard to know, denitively,
who it will be. I like to try to get to as
many non-league games as possible to
help formulate an answer to that question,
but we may not know
for at least until at
least a couple weeks
into league play.
Making the answer
even more difcult to
nd is the fact that
not every team in
the PAL plays each
other, so its difcult
to get a true, pure
answer. In a smaller
league, such as the
West Catholic
Athletic League, where all the teams play
each other twice, its much easier to determine which the best team is. But the size
of the PAL makes that virtually impossible. The 17-team league is split into two
sections geographically 10 in the
south and 7 in the north so league
games are played exclusively in each
division.
Many teams in the two divisions do
schedule each other during the preseason
and no team may do it more than
Hillsdale. If there is one team that can
genuinely answer the question, Who is
the best team in the PAL? its Hillsdale,
because the Knights will have played
nearly all 17 teams in the PAL.
Technically, Hillsdale plays 15 of the
16 teams obviously, being the 17th
team, the Knights dont play themselves.
The Knights will play all the other nine

Giants second baseman Scutaro has surgery

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco Giants

second baseman Marco Scutaro underwent
back surgery that could end his career.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean
announced during a conference call Monday
that Scutaro had the fusion procedure performed by Dr. Michael Wang in Miami on
Friday to alleviate the troublesome area at
level L-2/L-3 of his spine. It will be four-tosix months before doctors determine
whether Scutaro can play baseball again.

The 39-year-old Scutaro,

a journeyman infielder
who became the surprising
2012 NL Championship
Series MVP, played in
only five games last season all in July
because of recurring back
problems that landed him
Marco Scutaro on the disabled list for
good July 25. He is now
resting at home and will soon begin the long
rehabilitation program post-surgery.
Scutaro has known he might need the

operation in order to give him a quality of

life even just in his day-to-day schedule off
the baseball field.
This is the type of thing, its four-to-six
months before we can know if baseball is
possible, Sabean said. I dont want to
speak for the doctor or the procedure but
youd have to how he responds to the surgery and thats months away.
In parts of 13 major league seasons with
the Giants, Oakland, New York Mets,
Boston, Toronto and Colorado, Scutaro is a
career .277 hitter.
Scutaro put up remarkable numbers in

2012 after joining the Giants from the

Colorado Rockies on July 27. He batted
.362 with three homers and 44 RBIs in 61
regular-season games with the Giants.
In a seven-game 2012 NLCS against St.
Louis, Scutaro had six multihit games and
matched an LCS record with 14 hits.
He batted .500 (14 for 28) with four RBIs
in the NLCS, playing in his second postseason and first since 2006 with Oakland. He
became the first player in major league history with six multihit games in an LCS.
Scutaro was rewarded with a $20 million,
three-year contract in December 2012.

SAN FRANCISCO Sergio Romo tested
free agency, had some offers and decided he
wanted to stay put in San Francisco, pitching for the only major league organization
he has known.
The animated reliever finalized a $15 million, two-year contract with the Giants on
Monday, who kept a key component that
has been part of three championship runs.
When it comes to professional baseball,
this has been my home, Romo said. Im
very thankful for every opportunity that
Ive gotten. This was a place I was able to

make a name for myself. This is the only

organization I know.
The right-hander could earn an additional
$500,000 annually in performance bonuses
based on games finished as part of the agreement. San Francisco also was nearing completion of right-hander Jake Peavys $24
million, two-year deal. A formal announcement was planned for Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Romo has spent all seven
of his big league seasons with San Francisco,
winning titles in 2010, 12 and this year. He
went 6-4 with a 3.72 ERA with 23 saves in 64
outings last season as San Francisco earned
the wild card and went on to beat Kansas City
in a seven-game World Series.

Milch has plenty of high school business to

attend to first though. For starters, he would
like to see the Tigers boys basketball team
advance past the roadblock at the second round
of the Central Coast Section playoffs theyve
run into in each of the last two seasons.
Now in his third varsity season, Milch
was the only freshman to join the Terra
Nova varsity ranks in 2012-13. He served
mostly as a role player on that team that
advanced to the second round of the CCS
Division III playoff bracket. Then as a
sophomore last season, Milch stepped into
a starting roll as the Tigers again reached
the second round of CCS.
Coming off a 3-1 week, the experienced
Tigers starting five glimpsed their potential for the 2014-15 season, especially
when Milch got cooking from beyond the
arc last Tuesday against James Lick. And in
true form as a burgeoning superstar, Milch
was quick to give credit where credit is due to
his fellow starters, with a Terra Nova lineup
which includes 6-5 power forward Ben
Vidali, 6-6 center Brian Mongomery and 62 wing Gabe Vargas.
I was just hitting a lot of shots, Milch
said. My teammates set me up very well off
some well-executed plays. We were able to
get some open shots and knock em down.
Executing plays was Terra Novas saving

grace in Saturdays consolation championship

game. The Tigers were getting creamed in the
early stages of the first quarter as Independence
jumped out to a 12-2 lead, causing Terra Nova
to take a game-changer of a timeout.
My dad took a timeout and really got our
heads back in the game, because we werent
ready to play coming out, Milch said.
The wakeup call paid off, with the Tigers
closing the gap to 16-14 by the end of the
first quarter. By halftime they had the lead.
Then in the second half they jumped out to a
10-point lead before Independence rallied late.
Independence closed it to 49-47, but Terra
Nova held off the late insurgence and ended up
leading the entirety of the second half.
I thought we played very well, Milch
said. It was a very hard-fought game. They
are a very good team. We were all very proud
of each other coming out of that win.
Terra Nova has three more nonleague games
to go before Peninsula Athletic League North
Division play begins Jan. 9 against Oceana.
And Milch is keeping the early-season
optimism in check.
You can never tell (how youll do) until
you start playing the games, he said. Of
course, you want to feel confident going
into the games like you can beat anyone.
But anything can happen in the league were
in. So, time will tell.

Ball of Klay: Thompsons 25 help Dubs drub Kings

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors

too often let lesser competition keep games
close and allowed a few of them to slip
away on their home court last season.
That doesnt appear to be a problem anymore.
The Warriors eased past the struggling
Sacramento Kings 128-108 on Monday
night, the kind of all-around performance that
has defined their strong start under new coach
Steve Kerr.
All 13 active players scored, including six
in double digits. The reserves had a seasonhigh 62 points. And the team totaled 36
assists, the franchises most in four years.
These are the fun games when everybody
gets in there and scores and feels good afterward, Kerr said.
There have been a lot of those for Golden
State already.
Klay Thompson scored 25 points, reserve
Justin Holiday had 18 and Festus Ezeli added a
career-high 15 points to go with six rebounds
in place of injured center Andrew Bogut, help-

ing the Warriors hold a

big lead most of the way.
Stephen Curry also had
12 points and 11 assists
and got to rest most of
the fourth quarter as
Golden State stretched its
NBA-best record to 23-3.
We have to learn to
Klay Thompson share the ball better, the
way they do. We have to
move it side to side, like they do, said Kings
forward Omri Casspi, who had 16 points and
eight rebounds.
DeMarcus Cousins had 22 points and eight
rebounds, and Darren Collison scored 17
points in Sacramentos latest blowout loss to
its Northern California rival. The Warriors
whipped the Kings 95-77 on opening night
in Sacramento and have won six consecutive
games in the series, including all four last
season.
Sacramento has lost 11 of 14 games, a slide
that started when Cousins came down with
viral meningitis and missed 10 games. The
Kings also fired Michael Malone as coach
last week, and uncertainty about how long

interim coach Tyrone Corbin will man the

sidelines has lingered since.
We all need to stick together, Corbin
said.
The Warriors got off to a fast start and controlled the game by doing what they have
most of the season: clog the paint on
defense, push the pace and move the ball.
They led 36-20 at the end of the first quarter,
76-53 early in the third and except for a
few short-lived surges by Sacramento kept
a comfortable cushion throughout.
Perhaps just as important for the Warriors
was the return of David Lee, who played for
only the second time this season and first
since Nov. 5. He had six points on 3-for-9
shooting and seven rebounds in 16 minutes,
receiving a standing ovation from the crowd
when he entered as a reserve late in the first
quarter.
Lee admitted he felt some nerves returning
to a team that has done so well without him.
I was definitely the most excited guy in the
NBA to play basketball tonight, Lee said. I
havent been nervous for a game in five
years.
Lee had been out recovering from a strained

left hamstring, which forced him to leave

after 6 1/2 minutes in his previous appearance against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kerr
said the two-time All-Star forward responded
well to conversations about coming off the
bench, which Lee confirmed.
Draymond Green has played exceptional as
the starter, and Kerr sees no reason to change
what has worked which has been just about
everything this season.

Tip-ins
Bogut underwent a second platelet-rich
plasma therapy over the weekend on his right
knee. He will likely be out at least another
week or two. ... It was the most assists for the
Warriors since dishing out 36 in a 132-102
win over the Clippers on Feb. 10, 2010.

Surprise reunion
Staff Sgt. Nikki Castle was reunited with
her young son, Makio Cabales, between the
first and second quarter on the court. Makio
was asked to participate in a contest as her
mother walked onto the court to surprise him
that she had returned from Afghanistan.

Keslers quick OT goal leads Ducks past Sharks

By Joe Resnick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM The way the Anaheim Ducks

win close games, they already like their
chances for a long playoff run after last seasons early exit.
Ryan Kesler scored 58 seconds into overtime, and Rickard Rakell netted his first regular-season NHL goal, leading the Ducks to a
3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on
Monday night.
We fell behind, but we never quit going,
Kesler said. We really wanted this one going
into a break. Weve all been on the other side
of this, when you lose and think about it for
three days. So were going to enjoy this one,
re-energize and come back.
Cam Fowler got the tying goal with 4:16
left in regulation, and Frederik Andersen
made 30 saves for the Ducks, who have won
nine of 11 and own a league-best 51 points.
They lead the Pacific Division by eight
points over the Sharks.

Fourteen of Anaheims last 16 victories

have been decided by one goal. Two ended in
overtime and three went to shootouts.
I know this group pretty well, and I knew
they were going to play today and give it
their best effort, Ducks coach Bruce
Boudreau said. We played a very good hockey club and snuck away with two points.
The Ducks began overtime with 53 seconds
of power-play time. San Jose killed the
penalty, but Kesler beat Antti Niemi with a
wrist shot from the left circle 5 seconds later.
Niemi got the Sharks to overtime with a
spectacular glove save against Kesler from
the top of the left circle during a power play.
He stopped me at the far post a few times.
Third time is a charm, Kesler said.
Whenever you score in that fashion, its
always exciting.
Melker Karlsson scored his first NHL goal,
Joe Pavelski connected on a power play, and
Niemi made 29 saves for the Sharks, who
lost for the second time in 11 games but still
lead the season series 2-1.

Those guys are good, but we expect to

beat them, Pavelski said. We have a group
of guys that believe in what were doing, and
theyre playing the right way. We think we
can play with any team.
When Niemis going like that, we can be
aggressive and play our system knowing
hes back there.
Karlsson, playing in his sixth NHL game,
put the Sharks ahead 2-1 with 12:04 remaining. His slap shot from above the right circle
went in off Andersens pads as he flopped to
his knees.
But Fowler tied it by scoring off a cross-ice
pass by Ryan Getzlaf from the left boards.
We continue to develop the mentality that
we never give up. Well go into this break
and enjoy this win, Fowler said..
Rackell, playing in his 47th regular-season game, got his stick on a bouncing
puck in front of the crease with defenseman Justin Braun in front of him and
poked it past Niemis right leg at 7:20 of
the second period.

The puck ended up on my stick in front of

the net, Rakell said. It felt good. It was a
big relief for me. Christmas is saved.
Pavelski tied it at 2:00 of the third period
with his 16th goal and ninth on the power
play, redirecting Brent Burns shot from the
right point.
The Sharks had a couple of good scoring
chances in the first period, but Patrick
Marleau hit the left post at 3:08, and Tomas
Hertl was robbed in the final minute when
Andersen made a sprawling leg save.
The last time the Ducks hosted the Sharks
on Oct. 26, the teams combined for 165
penalty minutes 127 in the third period.
There was only one fight in the rematch.
NOTES: Joe Thorntons assist on
Pavelskis goal was his 874th, overtaking
Phil Esposito for 22nd place on the NHL list.
The Ducks were 0 for 3 on the power play,
and are just 5 for 53 against the Sharks since
the start of the 2011-12 season.
The Sharks dont play again until Saturday
night at Los Angeles.

Austrias Neureuther wins night slalom

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It wasnt that easy,

Neureuther said. There
were some holes. I just
tried to stay smooth and
relaxed.
For a good while after
his second run, Hirscher
kept his red-and-goldcolored helmet on and
stared back up at the
slope,

MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO, Italy Felix

Neureuther took advantage of soft snow conditions to win a World Cup slalom race
Monday night and take the lead in the discipline standings from Austrian rival Marcel
Hirscher, who finished only seventh.
Leading after the opening leg, Neureuther
clocked a two-run combined time of 1
minute, 40. 57 seconds down the steep
Canalone Miramonti course to edge German
teammate Fritz Dopfer by a huge margin of
0.82 seconds.
I just wanted to ski smooth. That was my
master plan and it worked really good,
Neureuther said after a display of quick and
precise turns that often saw him place his
gloves on the snow for balance.
Jens Byggmark of Sweden finished third,
0.86 back.
Hirscher, the three-time defending overall
champion, entered on a three-race winning
streak in the technical events of slalom and
giant slalom and had finished on the podium
in all six previous tech races this season.
But with the temperature at 8 degrees Celsius
(46 Fahrenheit) for the first run and only
slightly colder for the second leg, Hirscher didnt have the hard and icy surface that he prefers
like when he won this race two years ago by
a large margin over Neureuther.

Hirscher may have been exhausted after
winning a physically demanding giant
slalom on a bumpier than usual course in
Alta Badia on Sunday.
Hirscher stood only 11th after the opening run, which was set by his coach
Michael Pircher, then had the ninth-fastest
second leg.
I thought that on this difficult of a course a
clean run would be enough, Hirscher said.
In the end it was too little attacking. In Alta
Badia I was flabbergasted, because I did not
think I was that fast. Today I was again
astounded, because I thought that I was actually faster. My feeling has deceived me twice.
Neureuther moved 24 points ahead of
Hirscher in the slalom standings.
In the overall, Hirscher remained 34
points behind leader Kjetil Jansrud, who

Denver scored 21 points in the third quarter, with Manning throwing a pair of touchdowns to Emmanuel Sanders. With a chance
to pull off his 51st game-winning drive in a
heavy rain, Manning threw a sideline pass
directly to Kirkpatrick, who ran it back
untouched.
Manning had been 8-0
career against the Bengals
with 20 touchdown passes
and only five interceptions.
He nearly matched that total
in one game.
Demaryius Thomas had
seven catches for 115 yards,
setting a club record with his

season.

Jeremy Hill led a dominating running game
that finished with 207 yards overall. Hill
had an 85-yard touchdown run with 147
overall, going over 1,000 for the season.
Hill played a starring role in the Bengals
playoff drive.
I know a lot of guys are never fortunate
enough to make the playoffs, said Hill, a
second-round pick from LSU. In college, I
wanted to play for a national championship
but never got the chance.
The Monday night win was a breakthrough
for the Bengals, who had been blown out in
their two prime-time games this season and
came in 18-41 all-time at night. They have

Harbaugh wont speculate about whats next

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh has kept

quiet about the speculation surrounding his
future for nearly a year.
So he has no plans to participate now as
he begins what could be his final week
coaching the San Francisco 49ers.
He wouldnt say whether 49ers executives
had come to him to let him know if his alma
mater, the University of Michigan, reached
out about bringing the coach to Ann Arbor.
What will happen will happen, what
wont happen wont happen, Harbaugh
said Monday. Like the players, like the
coaches, were dedicated to doing our job,
finish what you start. Thats the mindset.
Harbaugh, who will turn 51 on Tuesday,
has lost four straight games for the first
time in his four-year stint. He has one year
remaining on the $25 million, five-year
contract he signed in January 2011 to leave
Stanford for the 49ers (7-8). San Francisco
finishes its disappointing first season at
$1. 3 billion Levis Stadium on Sunday
hosting Arizona.
Lets hug our families and go get a win
here, he said. Its not fun when you lose.
Thats a heartbreaking thing.

Harbaugh is doing his

best to keep it all in perspective after the Niners
reached each of the last
three NFC championship
games and lost the Super
Bowl following the 2012
season.
I am so proud to report
Jim Harbaugh to you that I have the
best
wife,
Sarah
Harbaugh, and six wonderful children,
Harbaugh said. And Im proud to report that
my future will always be bright with the
family that I have.
Fox Sports reported that the 49ers and
Harbaugh would cut ties within 24-48 hours
after the season ends Sunday.
Well, as you know, I have not participated in the speculation, the unnamed sources
or rumors, or asked you to have Jay Glazer
go back and ask his source for more clarification, Harbaugh said. I havent participated and I dont intend to.
This has been a good 12 months of this
kind of thing. No reason to start right now.
Harbaughs not the only one who could be
in his final week with the franchise. Theres
running back Frank Gore, perhaps the most
notable.

Again, not to speculate. Definitely, we

know this is going to be the last week of
the season and Im going to enjoy it,
Harbaugh said. Im going to enjoy all the
players, enjoy the coaches, enjoy the
staff, enjoy all the people in the building
that I really love and enjoy being around:
the trainers, front office people, our
entire organization, spend some time with
the scouts here in town. Just everybody,
enjoy it.
When asked whether he has been tempted
to publicly stand up for himself, Harbaugh
said:
Its a very good question. The high roads
the only road I know. Lets keep on that
way.
NOTES: Second-year S Eric Reid, who sustained a concussion in Saturdays loss, is
scheduled to see the neurologist Tuesday.
Reid suffered two concussions during his
rookie 2013 season. Well, well leave this
in the hands of the doctors. But, concerned,
yes, Harbaugh said. ... CB Perrish Cox
injured the AC joint in a shoulder after making an interception. Harbaugh said its
very possible San Francisco will have to
make roster moves to get through the game
given at least 10 players are dealing with
injuries.

NFL brief
Raiders havent been good
on the road since 2011
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders salvaged a little something from this season
by winning their final three home games.
Yet theyve remained
one of the NFLs worst
road teams since 2011
and are down to their
final shot at rectifying
that problem this year.
Its something interim
coach Tony Sparano has
wrestled with all season.
The Raiders have tried
Tony Sparano
altering when they practice to accommodate the different starting
times for away games.
Players have woken up extra early and the
team has shuffled its daily routine, all in an
effort to snap Oakland out of its road funk.
So far, nothing has worked.
Heading into Sundays regular-season
finale at Denver, the Raiders are 0-7 on the
road this season and only 2-21 since beating the Kansas City Chiefs 23-20 on a 36yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski in
overtime at Arrowhead Stadium on Dec. 24,
2011.

Records detail allegations against Ray McDonald

By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A woman alleges former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman
Ray McDonald sexually assaulted her after a
night of drinking and after she injured her
head in a fall by his swimming pool, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
The woman told authorities she has no
memory of the sexual encounter that
occurred in McDonalds San Jose house,
which police say occurred Dec. 14 a few
hours after the 49ers returned from a 17-7
loss to the Seahawks in Seattle. The court
papers quote McDonald as saying in a text
message that he believed the encounter was
consensual. McDonald also told police the
entire incident was captured on his internal
video system and was on his DVR in his
room.

No charged have been filed, and the San

Jose police continue to investigate.
McDonald could not be reached for comment, and his agent, Tom Condon, didnt
immediately respond to text and phone messages.
The court documents were written by San
Jose police investigators to obtain a search
warrant for McDonalds home.
The documents were unsealed in Santa
Clara County Superior Court and stated that
the incident began with the woman drinking
with friends at their home. They then met
McDonald and several of his friends at a
nearby bar and finished the night at his San
Jose home.
She told police the last thing she remembers about the evening is falling down near
McDonalds pool and hurting her head. She
awoke naked the next morning next to
McDonald, who initially denied a sexual

encounter, according to the court documents.

The woman stayed with McDonald at his
home the next day and drank vodka with
McDonald and San Francisco 49ers player
Aldon Smith, according to the papers.
Thats when McDonald conceded that a sexual encounter occurred, according to the court
documents.
An investigator using the womans phone
Dec. 16 and pretending to be her texted
McDonald complaining
about
the
encounter. McDonald responded by saying
the woman started coming on to me and
that the incident was consensual.
I dont understand why youre bothered. U
chose to stay with me another day,
McDonald texted. The investigator posing
as the woman replied that McDonald shouldnt have had sex with her while she was
unconscious.
I didnt do anything wrong, McDonald

replied. His home was searched that night.

The affidavit submitted by San Jose police
to a judge in application for a search warrant
said the sexual encountered occurred on Dec.
13 and that Smith had drinks with the pair
Dec. 14. Sgt. Heather Randol, a police
spokeswoman, said Monday that those dates
were wrong. Police say the encounter
occurred Dec. 14 and drinks with Smith happened the next day.
The 49ers released McDonald on
Wednesday, citing a pattern of behavior and
off-field issues.
Last month, the Santa Clara County district attorneys office announced that it

PAL tournament.

Overall, the Knights are off to

the best start in the county with a
perfect 9-0 mark. It seems every
week someone new is stepping up
as the Knights leading scorer for
a couple of games. David Badet,
Adam Cook, Adam Schembri, and
now Peter Chebi have all led the
Knights in scoring in a game this
season, showcasing the fact the
Knights are not relying on one

player to get it done.

Will that pay off once the
Knights get into PAL South play?
Now thats a completely different
question.

The San Carlos Waves, a U12
girls soccer team, captured the
Northern California Platinum
State Cup championship with a 21 shootout win over Mountain
View-Los Altos this past weekend.
Because of the sheer size of the
state of California and the number
of youth soccer teams, the state is
divided into two separate state

championship tournaments Nor

Cal and So Cal.
The Waves survived the 54-team
bracket with an undefeated record
and nished the season with a
mark of 26-4-1 and a rst-place
nish atop the NorCal Gold Area
2 division.
In the title game, San Carloss
Julia Deffner put the Waves up 1-0
midway through the second half,
only to see MVLA tie the game
with 10 minutes left in regulation.
After two periods of overtime
including a 20-minute delay when
the stadium lights went out the
teams went to penalty kicks. San

90 players currently eligible

for to compete in Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. Rory McIlroy
was among 90 players who already
have qualified and are expected to
compete in the 2015 Masters.
The 90 players is the same number eligible at this time a year ago.
A total of 97 players started the
2014
tournament.
Augusta
National prefers the field to be
under 100 players.
McIlroy was eligible in nine of
the 12 categories available to professionals. The exceptions were
the lifetime exemption for Masters
champions, the three-year exemption for winning The Players
Championship and top four and
ties from the 2014 U.S. Open.
Players still can qualify by winning a PGA Tour event (except for
the Puerto Rico Open) or getting
into the top 50 in world ranking
one week before the Masters.
The Masters is April 9-12.

Experts say it was a

busy, black-eye year
for disease control
By Mike Stobbe

Health workers carry the body of a suspected Ebola victim for burial at a cemetery in Freetown
Sierra Lone.

Sierra Leone urges safe

burials to stem Ebola
By Sarah DiLorenzo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAKAR, Senegal The radio announcement is chilling and blunt: If I die, I want
the deaths to stop with me.
Dr. Desmond Williams continues: I want
to give my family the permission to request
a safe and dignified, medical burial for me.
The announcement is part of a campaign
to urge Sierra Leoneans to abandon traditional burial practices, such as relatives
touching or washing the dead bodies, that
are fueling the spread of Ebola in the West
African country.
Ebola has killed more than 2,000 people
in Sierra Leone and unsafe burials may be
responsible for up to 70 percent of new
infections, say experts.
Officials are resorting to increasingly desperate measures to clamp down on traditional burials in Sierra Leone, where Ebola is
now spreading fastest. The head of the Ebola
response has even threatened to jail people
who prepare the corpses of their loved ones.
Williams, a Sierra Leonean-American doctor who works for the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, took to the
airwaves last month as part of efforts to
encourage people to avoid dangerous burial
practices. Now similar pledges have been

made by prominent Sierra Leoneans, including the communications director for the
Health Ministry, pop stars and radio DJs.
But old ways are hard to break. Many
believe a traditional burial is necessary to
make sure the dead dont return to haunt the
living. Funerals are important social occasions in the three most-affected countries,
Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. People
often travel great distances to attend and
bodies are typically washed and dressed by
relatives or friends.
Unfortunately, these practices are the perfect breeding ground for Ebola: The bodies
of Ebola victims can be up to 10 times more
infectious than those of people living with
the disease, according to the International
Federation of the Red Cross.
A well-attended funeral where many people touch the body provides the opportunity
for the disease to disperse into a crowd and
then be carried long distances back to their
homes, where it can seed new clusters,
according to Rebecca Bunnell, a behavioral
epidemiologist with the CDC.
People have been washing their hands
more and avoiding crowded places, but
changing burial traditions has proven particularly hard.

NEW YORK Health officials are celebrating some important victories in 2014,
and Time magazine even named Ebola fighters the persons of the year. Nevertheless,
this was a black-eye year for public health.
Some vital vaccines did not work well.
Federal laboratories were careless with dangerous pathogens. And international health
officials failed to stop a West Africa outbreak from exploding into the worst Ebola
epidemic ever.
Such failings occurred during one of the
busiest 12 months of contagions in at least
a decade. In the United States, infectious disease menaces seemingly whizzed at us from
every direction, from Ebola and enterovirus
to measles and MERS. Mumps plagued
Ohio. California saw its worst whooping
cough outbreak in 70 years. And a mosquitoborne disease called chikungunya burned
through the Caribbean and took root in the
United States.
The last time U.S. health officials were
this frantic was 2009, when a flu pandemic
swept the globe. But that was one disease,
while 2014 had more of a variety of fires to
put out, said Dr. Marci Layton of New York
Citys health department.
Experts say this years tumult was caused
by a combination of things. Many cite the

impact of international travel, which can

bring an exotic disease from the jungles of
Africa or the desserts of the Middle East to a
U.S. airport in a matter of hours.
If anyone still needed convincing, 2014
really showed that a disease threat anywhere
is a disease threat everywhere, said Dr. Tom
Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
But experts say others factors this year
were shortcomings and errors at the CDC
and in other public health organizations.
The leading example was the Ebola epidemic. Previous outbreaks numbered in the
hundreds. As of mid-December, health officials were reporting this years epidemic had
sickened more than 18,600 people, the vast
majority in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra
Leone. Of those, more than 6,900 died.
Those three nations were not prepared
when Ebola visited them for the first time.
Health systems were very weak after more
than a decade of war in the region. Doctors
were scarce in many areas. Ebola was sometimes mistaken for malaria, especially in
the early stages, and care and infection control were poor.
An aid effort was led by the World Health
Organization the United Nations health
agency. But the WHO staff let bureaucratic
bungles delay important work, and was

Continued from page 17
hampered by budget cuts and responsibilities elsewhere, a WHO internal report later
concluded.
For months, the WHO got only limited
help from various nations, and it wasnt
until the late summer after the epidemic
was out of control that the United States
and other countries pledged more substantial assistance.
The CDC was in charge of the U.S. Ebola
response, and initially everything seemed
well under control. CDC sent teams to help
in West Africa. Frieden repeatedly assured
Americans they were safe from an Ebola outbreak here, and that U.S. hospitals were
able to isolate and handle any cases that
should arrive from West Africa.
But public confidence was shaken after a
Liberian visitor named Thomas Eric Duncan
came down with the infectious disease in
late September, days after he arrived in
Dallas. He died October 8, and two nurses
who treated him at a Dallas hospital were
infected.
How the nurses caught Ebola was unclear,
but Frieden later said he should have sent a
much larger team to Dallas initially to help
hospital workers prevent any spread of the
virus.
No one besides Duncan died of Ebola in
the United States, and no other transmission of the disease was ever reported, and
yet Frieden came under heavy criticism for
the CDCs handling of Ebola. Some politicians called for his dismissal. President
Barack Obama stuck with Frieden, but

appointed an Ebola czar to help coordinate

the governments response.
Some other lowlights from 2014:
In January, a CDC lab scientist in
Atlanta accidently mixed a deadly strain of
bird flu with a tamer strain, and the mix was
later sent to unaware workers at two other
labs. In June, another CDC lab failed to kill
anthrax samples before sending them to two
labs with fewer safeguards for containing
dangerous germs. No one got sick from
either incident, fortunately. The anthrax lab
director resigned and administrative action
was taken against a few other employees,
a CDC spokesman said.
Another startling lab failing was discovered at the National Institutes of Health
campus in Bethesda, Maryland. A scientist
cleaning out an old storage room discovered
forgotten, 60-year-old vials of smallpox
virus, one of the most lethal infectious
agents in human history. No one got sick
from that incident, either. But government
lab practices became both a point of concern and something of a joke.
In May, health officials identified a doctor who traveled from Saudi Arabia to
Indiana as the first U.S. case of Middle East
respiratory syndrome, or MERS. They also
said the doctor apparently had spread MERS
to an Illinois man hed met in a business
meeting. But what initially seemed to be the
first transmission of MERS in this country
wasnt. CDC officials backtracked when
additional testing showed the virus had not,
in fact, spread to the second man.
Researchers have come to believe the
vaccine thats been used since the 1990s
against whooping cough does a poor job of
preventing spread of the disease. Health
officials believe that failing was an impor-

tant contributor to an epidemic this year in

California, where nearly 10,000 cases were
reported through the end of November. Only
10 percent of children sickened in the epidemic had not been vaccinated against pertussis, according to a review of available
records.
This was the worst year for measles
since 1994. About 600 cases were reported
in Americans through the first week of
December more than the combined total
from the previous five years. The measles
vaccine seemed to work fine. The vast
majority were unvaccinated people who fell
sick in outbreaks sparked by a traveler who
picked up the disease in another country and
then spread it in the United States.
Enterovirus 68, a respiratory virus that
traditionally kept a low profile, became a
national health concern in the late summer
as some pediatric hospitals were flooded
with wheezing children. Worries hit a new
level when doctors noted some children
with the virus also developed weakness or
paralysis in their arms or legs. By early
December, more than 1,100 infected people
in 48 states had respiratory illness, including 12 who died. CDC also had reports of
paralysis in 94 children in 33 states,
though investigators are still trying to
establish whether enterovirus 68 was the
cause.
Infectious diseases are a continuing
threat, and no one should think of 2014 as
an aberration, said Michael Osterholm, a
University of Minnesota infectious disease
expert.
I think what we really hit is a new normal, he said.
Indeed, it could get worse. Osterholm
noted that Ebola and MERS barely touched

the U.S. this year, and worrisome forms of
influenza in Asia and elsewhere may be on
the horizon. Arrivals of people from overseas and whatever germs theyre carrying
are forecast to keep growing. And adding
to the threat of new bugs is the revived menace from old ones, as once-treatable germs
are increasingly becoming resistant to
antibiotics, experts said.
To be sure, there were public health success stories in 2014. There were not large
U.S. outbreaks of MERS or Ebola. In Africa,
though Ebola appeared in Nigeria, Senegal
and Mali, it petered out during intense public health responses. The disease is still
raging elsewhere, particularly in Sierra
Leone, but the U.S. Congress acted to bolster the fight with approval this month of a
$5.4 billion emergency appropriation. And
some experts say Frieden deserves points
for his forthright disclosures about and
attempts to correct failings as they were
discovered.
Also, the health care and public health
workers who went to West Africa did show
uncommon heroism, as Time magazine
noted. The response to Ebola has been
extraordinary in both its scope and valor,
Frieden said.
Some experts say the mistakes of 2014
were constructive. They led, for example, to
an intensive review of safety practices at
CDC labs and better preparations at U.S.
hospitals for handling Ebola and other new
infectious diseases that may appear, they
said.
I think finding problems is sometimes a
good thing, said Dr. Jeff Duchin, a Seattle
public health official and national vaccines
experts. I think all of this helped us get
ready for what may come next.

Burials and funerals are deeply,

deeply ingrained in Sierra Leone, said
Austin Demby, a Sierra LeoneanAmerican epidemiologist who has also
taken the burial pledge. He is the director of a U.S. government AIDS program but has been helping with Ebola
containment. People put a lot of premium on this.
Its hard to pin down just how many
dangerous burials are taking place
because they are secret, but even the
most conservative estimates suggest

that burials are responsible for at least

one quarter of all infections in the
region.
In the early days of the Ebola epidemic, some families held their own
burials because teams were slow to
arrive or carried off bodies without
telling relatives where they would be
buried, said Bunnell of the CDC. But as
more teams have been put in the field
and relatives have increasingly been
able to watch funerals, compliance
appears to be increasing.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

PROPOSAL
Continued from page 1
there they were trying to reuse the
entire Sears building, and when Target
pulled out, it more or less provided
them the opportunity to look at the
north block, that whole 12.5-acre site,
in a whole different perspective, said
San Mateo Senior Planner Tricia
Schimpp. Now they have more opportunities to open it up and bring in an
urban design thats different.
Still preliminary, a neighborhood
meeting has been scheduled Jan. 12 and
the San Mateo Planning Commission
will hold a study session on the preapplication Feb. 10. If all goes well, the
company seeks to start construction in
the first quarter of 2016, said Bohannon
Marketing Director Christine Kupczak.
In planning to revamp the site,
Bohannon has taken into consideration
neighbors who expressed concerns with
the previous proposal, Kupczak said.
Issues raised included the location of
the theater, uses of the site and not thorough access into the project, Kupczak
said.
We addressed these issues, went back
to the table and pretty much put out a
new plan. One that would be more transit friendly and accommodate some of
the concerns of the neighborhood,
Kupczak said. [Were] moving the cinema more toward El Camino Real rather
than the back of the center and offering
more dining and entertainment, which
is really what the community is looking for.
Only parts of the lot north of 31st
Avenue are sought for a remodel, with
the Outback Restaurant, Bohannon

HOME
Continued from page 1
We wanted to do one last point of
assistance for these families that found
themselves homeless so close to the
holidays, said Effie Verducci, communications manager for the countys
Human Services Agency. Families all
have some levels of expenses in getting their homes back together. We
want to wrap up the response on a good
note.
San Mateo County Public Works, the
city of Belmont, the American Red
Cross, College of San Mateo, Pacific
Gas and Electric Company and
Caltrans were among the agencies
present at the event. Masterworks
Chorale performed holiday carols at
the beginning of the event. Toys were
distributed to children by the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office, while
residents received a meal. Molly
Stones and Second Harvest Food Bank
gave each of the units a box full of groceries.
Many slept and received services in a
makeshift shelter at the College of San
Mateo, while agencies worked to mitigate the flooding. Finally, they ren-

offices and parking structure remaining

in place. But the rest of the site will be
centered around an open plaza, according to the application.
The surface parking lot lining El
Camino Real will be transformed into
three smaller retail and restaurant buildings with an approximate 46,000square-foot second-story luxury cinema
at the corner of El Camino Real and
31st Avenue, according to the application.
In place of the more than 200,000square-foot Sears, Bohannon has proposed a landscape plaza sandwiched
between two smaller buildings. The
buildings would include an underground
38,200-square-foot fitness center,
ground-floor retail and restaurant space
as well as a two-story bowling alley
lounge and restaurant, according to the
application.
Although Bohannons plans have
substantially changed, Schimpp said it
appears Bohannon is confident in its
proposed uses of the site.
Theyre not bringing in a large
anchor tenant like Target would have
been, so thats out of the picture for this
design. This one is much more open
with multiple uses, Schimpp said.
They are actually discussing with
these potential tenants ... these are the
things they feel good enough about
bringing it out to the public at this
time.
The current ground-level food court
would be shifted to the second story
along with an outdoor dining terrace for
shoppers, according to the application.
The buildings containing the food court
and bowling alley proposed to stand at
a maximum of 60 feet while the theater
lining El Camino Real would be up to
55 feet, according to the application.
Constructing the movie theater at the

current surface parking lot would result

in the loss of about 277 parking
spaces. But according to the plans, it
would only reduce the entire shopping
centers ratio of spaces to 1,000 square
feet from 4.33 cars to 4.07 cars.
Staff is continuing to review
Bohannons amended pre-application
and the neighborhood will have a
chance to weigh in early next year. The
public will also be provided opportunity for input during a Planning
Commission study session in February
before Bohannon turns in a formal
application.
Although Bohannon opted to amend
its proposal for the northern part of the
shopping center once Target pulled out,
Schimpp said the new application
shows a site that fits more in line with
the citys plans for El Camino Real.
Its going to be more of an upscale
[area], Schimpp said. Now, the focus
is more on entertainment uses, multiple
uses, open areas, a plaza and being
more pedestrian friendly.
Kupczak said Bohannon is continuing to discuss the project with current
and prospective tenants, but agreed the
changes would be an overall benefit and
improvement.
What were really trying to do is
revitalize an aging portion of the center, Kupczak said. We feel that this
new proposal will certainly be an
improvement and offer a more exciting
project as well. And we believe it will
serve the needs of our community much
better.

dered the park safe and fully operational again after some units were yellow tagged. Power is back on at each of
the units. County Public Works
pumped out the water from the park by
mid-day Saturday, Dec. 13 and, according to the county, the property owner
hired a plumbing company to continue
pumping as new storms occur.
We are back, thank God, said resident Robert Tan. We are still in the
process of picking up the pieces.
Were still searching for disaster relief
assistance.
For Tan there were significant damages. He has to buy a new refrigerator
and some of his military belongings
were permanently damaged.
Resident April Orlando said she is
back at work and busy. She did discover leaks on the top of her RV Saturday.
Todays the first sunny day, she
said. Im looking forward to the area
drying out a bit.
Last week, the Board of Supervisors
passed a proclamation declaring a
local state of emergency as the first
step toward the county potentially
recouping its costs from the state
although it is no guarantee.
More efforts have been made across
the Peninsula to help displaced residents. Art Mahoney has raised almost
$3, 000 for Belmont residents dis-

placed from their mobile homes and

hopes to raise about $4, 500 for
Safeway gift cards for the residents.
The
Belmont-Redwood
Shores
Elementary School District mobilized
as well, raising $31,000 for Belmont
Mobile Home Park community were
affected by the flooding.
Redwood City has scheduled open
hours for a Relief and Recovery
Services Center at Fair Oaks
Community Center, 2600 Middlefield
Road. Those residents still needing
assistance are encouraged to drop-in
during open hours, and will be seen on
a first come-first served basis from 8
a.m.-11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 23, 8 a.m.11 a.m. and 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Monday,
Dec. 29 and 8 a.m.-11 a.m. Tuesday,
Dec. 30. There will be support for help
with food, clothing and other recovery
needs.
Redwood City has also scheduled a
community meeting for residents of its
two mobile home parks on 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 6 at the Fair Oaks
Community Center, which will focus
on providing information about how

assistance from nonprofit Rebuilding
Together to help with certain repairs to
their homes in the mobile home parks.

Do heart patients
fare better when
the doctors away?
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Doctors joke that if youre going to have a

heart attack, the safest place would be at a big national gathering of heart specialists. But a new study suggests some
older hospitalized heart patients may fare better when these
doctors arent around.
Survival chances were better for cardiac arrest patients and
for the sickest heart failure patients if they were treated at
teaching hospitals during the two biggest national cardiology meetings, compared with those treated during weeks
before and after the meetings. Also, some of the sickest heart
attack patients got fewer invasive procedures during meeting
days, versus those treated at other times but that didnt
hurt their odds of surviving, the nine-year study found.
The findings were only at teaching hospitals, typically
affiliated with medical schools and involved in doctor training and sometimes research; these are the workplaces for
many doctors who attend major medical meetings. No differences were seen in death rates at non-teaching hospitals.
The evidence is only circumstantial and the study lacks
information on whether the patients own doctors actually
attended the meetings.
The solution is not to get the cardiologists to have meetings every week, said Dr. Anupam Jena, a Harvard Medical
School economist and internist and the studys lead author.
Identifying specific treatments that were given or not given
during meeting times would be a better solution that might
lead to better outcomes, Jena said.
It might be that doctors who dont attend the meetings are
less inclined to try the most invasive treatments, and that a
less intensive approach is better for the sickest patients,
Jena said.

to take everything we can into
account.
The contract for the San Carlos property gives the district a 60-day due diligence period to conduct studies,
Lianides previously said. The district is
working with a couple of brokers who
specialize in commercial properties, he
said. The district is pretty confident it
will have a new north side magnet open
by fall 2017, said Sarver.
The district is in contract for $9.3
million for the potential school site in
Menlo Park.
Some in San Carlos have concerns
about traffic and parking with other new
developments like a new hotel coming
to nearby Industrial Road, including
Ben Fuller, president of the Greater East
San Carlos Neighborhood Association.
Traffic is already an issue in the area and
400 more students coming into the
neighborhood every day will bring the
road to a standstill, he said.
San Carlos resident Matt Davidson
presented the city of San Carlos with a
letter signed by local residents who are
concerned Laureola Park, next to the
property, will be given up to be part of
the school.
The school district could not have
selected a more controversial site for a
school. This part of San Carlos is seeing rapid development with the new
Palo Alto Medical Foundation site, the
planned Landmark Hotel and the Transit
Village project. We understand the
importance of modernizing and adding

the San Mateo Adult School at 789 E.
Poplar Ave. in San Mateo. This meeting will focus on which firm the board
and community feel is most capable of
finding the next superintendent to
oversee the districts schools.
Laurence announced his departure in
November after five years with the district. Laurence, 57, has been in the
education world for more than 30 years
and will serve as superintendent until
his official resignation, which is tentatively set for June 30, 2015 the
last official day of the 2014-15 school
year. He lives in San Martin, 60 miles
from the district office and has seen
his commute time double in recent
years because of the economic recovery.
The board knows it will not be easy
to find a replacement for current
Superintendent Laurence, CostaBatis wrote in an email. In collaboration with the community, the board
will take whatever time is needed to
ensure the next superintendent is
capable of leading a growing district

these revenue-generating improvements to help our city, but this is clearly the wrong location for a school, he
wrote in the letter. Long-time residents and new homeowners alike love
this park. Go there on any sunny day
and you will see children running
around, facilities being used for birthday parties, kids shooting baskets and
toddlers playing on the jungle gyms. It
is a fixture of the community, hosting
well-attended little league games, kids
soccer matches, community meetings
and family barbecues. The school board
made clear they intend to utilize the
park as an extension of the high
school. Over 490 households rely on
this park. Where will our children
play?
Neighbor Alli Davidson helped start a
petition on MoveOn.org called Save
Our Park to oppose the new school. So
far, 456 people have signed the petition. Davidson said the school board
has been pretty dismissive of the residents concerns and that she wishes
there had been more public meetings
before deciding to go forward with closing on the properties.
It boils down to that the school
would be next to the park, she said.
Its already heavily used by the East
San Carlos residents. They (the school)
would essentially take over the park
whether the school board intends for
that to happen.
The Greater East San Carlos
Neighborhood Association is asking
the district to respond to this request for
a collaborative solution by Dec. 29.
The city of San Carlos will definitely
have some involvement in the process.
In January 2015, the San Carlos
Planning Commission will review the

districts desire to have a high school

on Old County Road. It will review if it
is in compliance with the general plan,
but that doesnt bind the district to it,
City Manager Jeff Maltbie said, according to a video of a recent City Council
meeting.
The district is considering the neighbors concerns as well, said Trustee
Chris Thomsen.
Weve certainly been listening to
the neighbors, he said. There have a
lot of people who have expressed concern.
One issue the district is considering
is the states Field Act that includes
restrictions for building or purchasing
property for public schools within a
quarter mile of hazardous air emissions
facilities, within 1,500 feet of railroad
tracks or in the easement of an aboveground or underground pipeline that can
pose a safety hazard, within a couple
miles of airport runways or within close
proximity to major roads and ensuring a
safe route to school. Additionally, the
California
Department
of
Transportation considers sound at 50
decibels in the vicinity of schools to be
the point at which it will take corrective action for noise generated by freeways.
A demographic study indicates the
district is projected to grow starting in
the 2014-15 school year, reaching
more than 10,000 students by 202021. Projections indicate that the district
will reach 10,056 students by 2020-21.
These projections are based in part on
partner elementary district growth.
Enrollment in the partner districts started to grow in 2006-07 from 22,893 students and reached 24,653 students in
2012-13.

and ensuring an excellent education

for all of our 8,100 students.
As part of the search process, the
firm selected will likely survey the
community and staff. The actual candidate search will take about three or
four months and hopefully start in
February 2015, Friedman said.
Theyre (the new superintendent)
going to be working with staff to train
toward academic achievement to
improve upon our culture of continuous learning, he said. Theyll work
with operations to make sure were fiscally solvent.
Until Laurence departs, he said he
will focus on finding much-needed
new high school and district office
buildings and helping with the transition to the new state Common Core
standards that move more toward project-based learning and the use of technology in the classroom.
During Laurences time as superintendent, there have been various challenges with which to deal, including
the struggle to find facilities to house
schools like the new Design Tech
High School, Peninsula Alternative
High School and the district office
when very few properties are available
along the Peninsula. This past year,

the co-location of Design Tech at

Mills High School caused some parents to speak out about their concern
for what they described as a lack of
transparency in the placement of the
school on the Mills campus.
Property will always be an issue,
Friedman said. Were hoping those
will be behind us July 1.
In 2013, the district also dealt with
the invalidation of 641 invalidated
Mills
High
School Advanced
Placement test scores over irregular
seating arrangements. Over the last
several years, the city of Burlingame
and district have been in conflict over
maintenance of the Burlingame High
School pool.
Laurence said he is considering educational employment opportunities
closer to home.
Its best for everybody if somebody is in place before I leave, he
said. Its a wonderful place to work,
so I believe there will be a lot of qualified people interested in working in
the district. Im going to miss the
people. I made a lot of professional
relationships that I work with on a
daily basis. Its a great community and
thats probably what Ill miss the
most.

to a cause you believe in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All the hustle and bustle

care not to overindulge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Family dynamics
will become strained if you put demands on the ones
you love. Sightseeing or a shopping excursion will take
your mind off troublesome situations at home or work.
