Judge accused of treating women inappropriately


Joseph Bergeron admonished for poor treatment of female court workers
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A San Mateo County Superior


Court judge has been admonished
by the state Commission on
Judicial Performance for three
incidents of inappropriate behavior toward women working in his
courtroom in 2014, the commission announced Monday.

Joseph
Bergeron

Judge Joseph
Bergeron at one
point
threw
crumpled
up
calendars at a
court
clerk,
loudly
complained about
another clerk
to her supervisor over the

phone in front of court staff and


offered a deputy district attorney a
tip for bringing him a cup of coffee, according to the commission.
The first incident happened on
Aug. 28, 2014, when a clerk not
regularly assigned to Bergerons
courtroom was working.
As he was presiding over two
criminal matters, the clerk went to
retrieve a file from the judge.

Bergeron asked her if she plays


baseball, and then hit her in the
chest with a crumpled calendar. He
did the same thing later in the day.
On Oct. 7, 2014, a different
clerk was assigned to Bergerons
courtroom and she arrived before
the judge did. A jury panel was
scheduled to arrive between 9 a.m.
and 9:15 a.m., but Bergeron called
the clerks station at 9:30 a.m. or

9:45 a.m. and asked the clerk to


call him back, but didnt leave a
callback number.
When he arrived at court, he
called the clerks supervisor and
loudly complained, so the clerk
and others in the courtroom could
hear him, that he didnt receive a
call back.
She didnt call back. She didnt

Docktown deal
Redwood City to pay $4.5
million to settle lawsuit

A man walks along Mirada Road just north of Half Moon Bay where county officials are planning a long-term project
to protect the coast from further erosion. Below: Christopher Hedge points to where the cliffs have drastically
eroded outside his Mirada Road recording studio.

The Redwood City Council


unanimously approved a settlement agreement with Citizens of
the Public Trust and Ted Hannig for
$4.5 million Monday night over
Docktown Marina for being in
violation of the states public trust
laws.
The deal sets aside $3 million in
a fund to clean up any environmental damage that occur in Redwood
Creek where the marina is located
and to help relocate the 70 or so
residents who live there.
The remaining $1.5 million will
be paid to attorney Hannig, who

filed the complaint against


the city in early
November.
City Attorney

told
the council that
Ted Hannig if it didnt
accept the deal
the cost to fight the litigation
could be far more costly.
It could also have put the citys
$25 million general fund surplus
at risk depending on a judges
action, Councilman Jeff Gee said
at the meeting.

100 years of fighting infectious diseases


San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District hosts open house
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As one of the oldest of its kind, the San


Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control
District is hosting a centennial celebration
and inviting the public to learn about how
theyre being protected from infectious diseases.
On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the special districts
headquarters are open to the public with
games for children, live specimens available for inspection and a chance to chat with
the staff responsible for serving residents
across the county.
Were finding that the public doesnt usually know a lot about what we do. Most of
our work takes place behind the scenes,
said Megan Caldwell, the districts public
health education and outreach officer. I
think some of it is that our technicians do
such a fantastic job that as long as everythings functioning normally, you dont
think about it. Its not until something goes
wrong that you realize [the district] exists.
Although the district most frequently
makes headlines when fighting reports of
West Nile virus with foggings and mosquito
samplings 2014 marked the first time a
West Nile-infected mosquito was documented in the county Caldwell said the vast
majority of its work revolves around preventative measures.
Fogging is only 1 percent or less of our
mosquito control program and thats really
the only time people see us, Caldwell said.
The district supports a range of services to
manage countywide populations of mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, yellow jackets, wasps
and various wildlife such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, deer and more.
It participates in collaborative projects
such as working with the Coastal
Conservancy to manage invasive cordgrass, which can serve as habitat for mosquitos, or partnering with local schools to
provide training on preventing head lice. It
also runs educational programs to teach residents how they can help protect against
infectious diseases like Lyme disease and
the hantavirus, according to its website.
Caldwell said residents can assist in protecting their communities as its challeng-

ing for the districts 21 full-time and 13 seasonal staff members to patrol every home
across the county.
The most important thing the public can
do to help us out is dump and drain standing
water, Caldwell said. We really rely on the
public to help us out on their own property
as well as report problems.
The district has a long history of improving conditions for local residents. It was
one of the first created after the state
Legislature passed the Mosquito Abatement
Act, which gave local governments the
power to form special districts and collect
revenue to protect citizens from mosquitoborne diseases in 1915. But in an area formerly known as a hotbed of mosquitos and
other insects even Alameda de las Pulgas
translates to avenue of the fleas control programs date further back.
Back in the early 1900s, the mosquito
issues on the Peninsula were so bad that it
was affecting peoples property values,
businesses were closing; and thats why the
mosquito control program began in the first
place. Now, because we have such a fantastic
control program, a lot of people actually
ask me why do we even need it? Caldwell
said. In the past, malaria was endemic to
the Peninsula and in recent years weve had
invasive mosquitos identified here. So
theres a strong possibility without an
aggressive vector control program, we
could certainly have transmission of vectorborne diseases.
One of the first control plans was implemented in 1905, then two separate agencies
were formed around 1916. In 1953, the districts merged to cover most of the eastern
county as the San Mateo County Mosquito
Abatement District. In 2003, voters
approved a ballot measure to create the full
countywide Mosquito and Vector Control
District with its annual budget reaching
$4.5 million this last fiscal year, according
to Caldwell and its website.
Having a countywide district is vital

toward the common goal of protecting the


public against infectious diseases, Caldwell
said.
It works well because a lot times a problem will span more than one city and it also
ensures regardless of resources, all the cities
get the same public health services,
Caldwell said.
The district is composed of highly-educated staff, many whove served the county for
more than a decade, Caldwell said.
Its now under the leadership of District
Manger Dr. Chindi Peavey, who has more
than two decades of experience and took
over in 2015.
Peavey began her service after previous
leadership left following the controversy of
its former finance director allegedly embezzling more than $450,000 between 2009
and 2011. The scandal led the Local Agency
Formation Commission to conduct a review
of the district, which is overseen by a 21member board comprised of appointed members from various cities.
Tuesdays centennial celebration is about
commemorating 100 years of fighting
against infectious diseases and educating
the public. The event will include fun childrens activities, demonstrations and
insects on display such as walking stick
bugs and mosquitoes at all stages of development, Caldwell said.
We decided we really want to open our
facility so people could come see what
theyre getting for their tax dollars. Well
have our laboratory open for tours, well
have insect specimens and live insects,
Caldwell said. Were hoping to do some
science education in a fun way.
The ev ent runs 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control
Districts headquarters, 1352 Rollins Road,
Burlingame. Visit www.smcmv cd.org for

State gun-seizure backlog


remains despite $24 million
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO An additional $24


million that was supposed to end the
backlog in a unique California firearms
seizure program has reduced the waitlist only about 40 percent, according
to a report released Monday.
That leaves a backlog of nearly
13, 000 gun owners who bought
firearms legally but were later convicted of a felony or a violent misdemeanor, became subject to a domestic
violence restraining order or were
determined to be mentally unstable.
Officials said the extra money in
2013 would let Attorney General
Kamala Harris office end a backlog of
nearly 21,000 people within three
years.
The remaining backlog of nearly
12,700 gun owners is the lowest its
been since 2008, Harris said. The
report she released Monday cites
recent expansions of the states gun
control laws for the continued backlog.
Harris, a Democrat who is running
for the U.S. Senate this year, called the
results historic reductions and historic achievements in the face of an
increased workload, but lawmakers of
both political parties expressed frustration at a hearing last year.

REUTERS

Firearms are shown for sale at the AO Sword gun store in El Cajon.
Shes taking a victory lap and she
should be holding her head in shame,
Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, said
Monday. They seem to think its a
good thing and I think its outrageous.
The additional money runs out in
May, and Harris now wants lawmakers
to make permanent the funding that
was initially given her office after a
series of mass shootings, including
the Newtown, Connecticut, school
massacre.

Her office had spent about $14.4


million of the $24 million by October,
but she argued the 9-year-old program
needs the budget extended past three
years because of an increased workload.
That includes a state law that took
effect this month that lets family
members ask judges for restraining
orders if they question a relatives
mental stability. Harris projected the
law could add as many as 3,000 people
to the state databases.

SACRAMENTO The California


Senate on Monday approved a bill
aimed at slowing a rush of cities and
counties racing to ban marijuana cultivation.
The measure corrects what lawmakers say was a mistake in Californias
first comprehensive medical marijuana
regulations, which were adopted in the

closing hours of last years legislative


session.
A paragraph in that 70-page bill
gave the state authority to license
growers in jurisdictions that do not
have their own laws on the books by
March 1.
As a result, dozens of cities and
counties seeking to preserve local
control over pot have rushed to enact
bans on marijuana growing before the
deadline.

Some apply only to commercial cultivation, but many would also prohibit personal pot gardens that have been
legal or at least overlooked for
19 years.
It is crucially important the deadline is repealed as soon as possible,
said Assemblyman Jim Wood, DHealdsburg, who was instrumental in
writing last years regulations and
introduced the fix. I am confident we
will get this done soon.

East Coast commuters
dodge mounds of snow to get to work
NEW YORK East Coast residents clobbered by the
weekend blizzard trudged into the workweek Monday amid
slippery roads, spotty transit service and mounds of snow
that buried cars and blocked sidewalks after some cities got
an entire winters snow in two days.
In Brooklyn, only one teacher at the Bedford-Stuyvesant
New Beginnings Charter School called out, despite more
than 2 feet of snow across New York City.
A lot of teachers are taking the train instead of driving,
said Wanda Morales, director of operations at the school,
standing outside while maintenance workers spread salt and
parents dropped off their children.
In Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River
from Washington, there were signs of normalcy; shops
were open, and main roadways were mostly cleared, dotted
with large piles of snow. Matthew Mason, 29, was riding
the train into Washington to go to his job at a hotel. The
part-time law student said he figured he should be there,
though things would likely be a little slower.
Ive sat in my house too much already, he said.

Ex-prosecutor to spearhead
investigation into Flint water
LANSING, Mich. A former prosecutor and a retired head
of the Detroit FBI will play key roles in an investigation
into Flints lead-tainted water as part of the effort to seek
answers while also preventing conflicts of interest,
Michigans attorney general announced Monday.
Republican Bill Schuette said Todd Flood, a former assistant prosecutor for Wayne County, which includes Detroit,
will spearhead the investigation and serve as special counsel. He will be joined by Andy Arena, who led Detroits FBI
office from 2007 until 2012.
Schuette, who had declined to investigate in December
but later reversed course, gave no timetable for the investigation. It could focus on whether environmental laws were
broken or if there was official misconduct in the process
that left Flints drinking water contaminated.
Flood mostly declined to discuss which laws may have
been broken, except to note there are prohibitions against
misconduct by public officials. He said a plethora of laws
potentially could be used to charge someone.

San Carlos residents are in the middle


of celebrating the Week of the Family,
the 17th annual event with a variety of
activities meant to strengthen family
relationships but mostly to have fun.
Events include a family game night,
roshambo finals, bocce ball and a family scavenger hunt.
Sometimes you forget the things
that are most important for you, said
Don Eaton, former mayor and organizer.
These events encourage people to
think about their families for the rest of
the year.
The week kicked off Saturday and will
conclude this Saturday, Jan. 30.
On Sunday, the San Carlos Library
hosted a wild animal presentation that
had more than 200 children in attendance, said Susan Rose, the chair of this
years event.
Children were able to interact with a
very large owl and a even a lemur, an

Saturday morning, families can participate in a scavenger hunt on Laurel
Street.
The week has previously drawn more
than 3,000 families to the various
events. Its all about togetherness
regardless of a familys interests, Eaton
said.
In its beginnings, family week was
held in September but schools said it

was too difficult to participate, Eaton


said. Taking a cue from a similar celebration in Blue Springs, Missouri, the
city moved the week to January where
Eaton said it has taken off and flourished.
Week of the Family events are funded
through donations to San Carlos
Together, a nonprofit, public benefit
corporation designed to support cultural, educational, recreational and neighborhood improvement programs and
projects in the city.
Gator Games Store is a sponsor as is
Recology, Arbor Bay School and the
San Carlos Chamber of Commerce.
Other events are a family cooking
school Wednesday, family story night
and family history night on Thursday.
Families are the bedrock of the community, Eaton said.
The week concludes with an open

Hilton launches new hotel chain aimed at young guests


By Scott Mayerowitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Hilton is launching a new hotel brand, focusing on


budget travelers looking to spend $75
to $90 a night.
The new brand, named Tru, aims to
compete with economy and midscale
chains like Comfort Inn, Fairfield

Inn and La Quinta.


Hilton Worldwide which has more
than 4,500 hotels globally already
has limited service brands like
Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn,
Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites.
This would be a new market for the
chain.
Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta notes
that 40 percent of the demand for hotel

rooms comes in this price segment,


the largest of any market. He also says
many of the economy and midscale
chains offer an inconsistent product
and service delivery, giving Hilton
the opportunity to build loyalty
among younger travelers whose spending is limited right now, but could
afford a more upscale location in the
future.

Sanders defends
call to raise taxes
to fund health care
By Julie Pace

Sen. Marco Rubio speaks at the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny, Iowa.

Rubios Iowa crisscross approach


bending caucus campaign norm
By Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa Marco


Rubio is all over the map in Iowa.
Quite literally.
Having spent little time in the
states rural Christian conservative
northwest, the Republican presidential candidate dropped in to Sioux
County for the first time on a solo
campaign trip last week, then
bounced across the state two days
later to speak with some of Iowas
more fiscally conservative voters in
the east.
Im going to trust that he knows
what hes doing, state Rep. John
Wills, who supports Rubio, said
after his campaign stop at the
Christian Dordt College in GOPrich Sioux Center. I hope he gets

the chance to get up here again.


Northwest Iowa is where you win.
Rubio began an uninterrupted
nine-day run Saturday ahead of
Iowas lead-off caucuses next
Monday. His itinerary includes college towns, larger cities and rural
outposts.
After months of promising that
his campaign was on the verge of
ramping up in early-voting states,
Rubio appears to be following
through in the Iowa homestretch.
He dismisses the notion that hes
changing in the 11th hour to play
catch-up with rival Ted Cruz, who
has dedicated significant time and
resources toward campaigning
across the state. Rubio has focused
more on Des Moines and the states
other urban areas.
Rather, its an indication that the

caucuses are eight days away,


Rubio said Saturday during a campaign stop in Indianola.
In the chess game of early voting,
Rubio needs to finish in Iowa ahead
of mainstream GOP rivals like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. If he
does, undecided voters in the upcoming contests in New Hampshire and
South Carolina could take notice.
Despite the scattershot appearance of Rubios schedule, a pattern
of building toward caucus day was
beginning to take shape over the
weekend as he drew large, diverse
and engaged crowds, picked up
endorsements from some of Iowas
larger newspapers and appeared
Monday with the states freshman
U.S. senator, Republican Joni
Ernst.

DES MOINES, Iowa Bernie


Sanders defended his call for raising Americans taxes in exchange
for lower heath care costs, as he
opened a candidate forum Monday
night that served as a platform for
Democratic presidential hopefuls
to make a closing argument to
voters one week before the Iowa
caucuses.
Yes, we will raise taxes, said
Sanders, an admission rarely
heard in presidential campaigns.
We may raise taxes, but we are
going to eliminate private health
insurance premiums for individuals and businesses.
Sanders would replace the
nations existing employer-based
system of insurance with one in
which the government becomes a
single payer, providing coverage to all. It would eliminate copays and deductibles, and
Sanders argues, bring health care
spending under control.
A self-described democratic
socialist, Sanders cast his governing philosophy Monday as
one reflecting that the right for
economic security should exist.
But he sidestepped a question
about whether his policies would

mean an era of
big
government.
Sanders was
the first of three
candidates to
address voters
at the CNN town
hall at Iowas
Bernie Sanders D r a k e

U.K. company criticized for
asking migrants to wear wristbands
LONDON A private company that required asylumseekers to wear red wristbands says it has dropped the practice after facing heavy criticism.
A statement from Clearsprings Ready Homes said it has
decided to end the practice Monday. The policy had come
under fire from legislators who warned it singled migrants
out for possible harassment and abuse.
Clearspring holds a government contract to provide
accommodation and meals to the asylum-seekers at a facility in Cardiff, Wales. Asylum-seekers are not allowed to
work or to claim welfare benefits but they are given food
and shelter.
The company said in a statement it will look for an alternative way of managing the fair provision of support now
that the wristbands have been discontinued.
Some migrants have said wearing the wristbands has
exposed them to abuse from local residents.
Questions about the policy follows news last week that
some migrants elsewhere in Britain had had their doors
painted red, making them targets for vandalism and racial
abuse.

Grand jury indicts leader behind Planned Parenthood videos


By Paul J. Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas A Houston grand


jury investigating undercover footage
of Planned Parenthood found no wrongdoing Monday by the abortion
provider, and instead indicted antiabortion activists involved in making
the videos that targeted the handling of
fetal tissue in clinics and provoked outrage among Republican leaders nationwide.
David Daleiden, founder of the Center
for Medical Progress, was indicted on a
felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor
count related to purchasing human
organs. Another activist, Sandra
Merritt, was also indicted on a charge
of tampering with a governmental
record, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Its the first time anyone in the group
has been charged criminally since the
release of the videos, which began surfacing last year and alleged that
Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue to

DOCKTOWN
Continued from page 1
The settlement also requires the city
to develop an action plan on how to
deal with the marinas residents and
any environmental damage that exists
in the creek by the end of the year. The
city then must start implementing the
plan in 2017, according to terms of
the agreement.
Docktown is considered to be a violation of the public trust by both staff
at the State Lands Commission and
state Attorneys General Office.
The State Lands Commission itself,
however, is scheduled to hold a public
hearing in April that could ultimately
decide the marinas fate. If the commission does allow Docktown to stay,
the settlement with Hannig can be
amended, Kenyon said.
Many residents of Docktown and
other neighborhoods in Redwood City
showed up at the meeting urging the
council not to accept the terms so
quickly.
Ci t i zen s were o n l y g i v en 7 2
hours to review the settlement. This
action will eliminate 70 affordable
housing units during this current crisis, said Mount Carmel neighbor-

researchers for a
profit in violation
of federal law.
Planned Parenthood
officials
have
denied any wrongdoing and have said
the videos were misleadingly edited.
David Daleiden The footage from
the
clinic
in
Houston showed people pretending to
be from a company called BioMax that
procures fetal tissue for research touring the facility. Planned Parenthood
has previously said that the fake company sent an agreement offering to pay
the astronomical amount of $1,600
for organs from a fetus. The clinic said
it never entered into the agreement and
ceased contact with BioMax because it
was disturbed by the overtures.
In a statement announcing the indictment, Harris County District Attorney
Devon Anderson did not provide details
on the charges, including what record
or records were allegedly tampered with
and why Daleiden faces a charge related

to buying human organs. Her office


said it could not disclose more information and a court spokesman said it was
unclear whether copies of the indictments, which typically provide more
insight, would be made public Monday.
We were called upon to investigate
allegations of criminal conduct by
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast,
Anderson, an elected Republican, said
in her statement. As I stated at the outset of this investigation, we must go
where the evidence leads us.
Daleiden issued a statement saying
that his group uses the same undercover techniques as investigative journalists and follows all applicable laws.
We respect the processes of the
Harris County District Attorney, and
note that buying fetal tissue requires a
seller as well, he said.
Republican Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton, who has his own ongoing
investigation
into
Planned
Parenthood, said Monday that the the
videos exposed the horrific nature of
abortion and the shameful disregard for
human life.

hood resident Chris Johnson.


Others wondered why Hannig should
be paid $1.5 million.
The city is folding to Hannig. Its a
front or a shakedown. I dont know
who will be less popular, Hannig or
the council, said Alison Madden, an
attorney who led an effort to save
Petes Harbor before its eventual closure.
Many Petes Harbor residents relocated to Docktown.
Some insisted that the settlement
means Docktown will eventually be
shut down.
The settlement means Docktown
will be closed. Where will Docktown
residents go? Docktown is in the way
of new development and headed for
extinction, said Julie Pardini.
Vice Mayor Ian Bain, however, disputed that claim.
The settlement does not close
Docktown. Were talking about peoples homes, theres nothing more
personal than that, Bain said at the
meeting. I want to keep the residents
in the community.
He also suggested the city put on
hold a Inner Harbor Specific Plan to
concentrate on developing an action
plan for Docktown.
The marina sits east of Highway 101
and is in the Inner Harbor. The city
owns and operates the marina.

Docktown resident Lee Callister


said the deal made him sad and that
the city was handing over a bag of
taxpayer gold to Hannig.
He also said that the State Lands
Commission has given the city no
deadline for moving the marina and
that there is no link to toxins in the
creek and the houseboats that float on
it.
The public trust dictates that certain
waters controlled by the state must be
accessible by all for recreation and
other purposes.
The idea too that Docktown residents can just relocate to close by
Ferrari Pond is also not viable,
Callister said previously.
The Inner Harbor plan being circulated now shows a marina in place at
the Ferrari Pond but the land is privately owned and there are no guarantees the owners would accept residents
of Docktown to relocate there, he said.
The complaint also alleged someone at Docktown fired a high-velocity
golf ball at Hannig while he was
unloading groceries in the garage. He
believes it was done in retaliation for
making social media posts in the past
concerning the environmental and
public trust violations related to the
marina.
Hannig is also the Daily Journals
attorney.

Move forward with Millbrae station plans


By Quentin Kopp

truck by my longtime friend


Dan Quiggs incomplete, sometimes inaccurate, and surprising
Jan. 15 condemnation of the Millbrae
BART Station Project, I write to supplement, correct and praise the planned
transit-oriented development of
Republic Urban Properties. Ive been
associated with the project since late
2012. BART years previously had
awarded development of its Millbrae
Station property to a Macao gambling
casino operator in bed with a thenBART director from San Francisco. The
Macao rm failed for two years to pursue its plan for only a mammoth hotel
on the 9-acre site. Finally fed up,
BART reopened the matter for two nal
and best proposals. Republic Urban
was competitively chosen by the
BART Board of Directors in 2013 after
it resubmitted its long-standing transitoriented development plan of housing,
retail stores and ofces (A specic
expert analysis sponsored by Millbrae
taxpayers and BART had previously
concluded that a conventional hotel
was economically infeasible, particularly with San Francisco International
Airport planning a huge 500-room
hotel on its property.) By happenstance, a Millbrae motel owner, in
2013, asked Republic Urban to include
a 116-room extended stay hotel in its
plan. That made economic sense.
Republic Urban agreed. Yet, former
Millbrae mayor and city treasurer
Quigg didnt mention such hotel in his
screed.
Exponents of transit-oriented development over three decades ago produced surveys and analyses while I was
still a past president and member of the
Metropolitan Transportation

Commission demonstrating that more


people who reside
near a transit station
use public transit
than those who work
in nearby ofces or
stores. BART has
sought to improve
its vacant property
since 2008.
Moreover, although state law requires a
city to include only 12 percent of
saleable new housing units for affordable housing but imposes no such
mandate for new rental units, which
Republic Urbans units will be,
Republic Urban revised its project to
include 55 low-income units for military veterans, consistent with its 2014
national Veterans Housing Initiative.
Additionally, at the suggestion of state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, who
reported a complaint by the Millbrae
Elementary School District superintendent that hiring teachers was difcult because of Millbraes affordable
housing scarcity, Republic Urban added
10 low income rental units for Millbrae
school district teachers only.
Republic Urban also agreed to
requests of environmentalists and
eliminated 114 parking spaces, consistent with this precedential San
Mateo County transit-oriented development. Parking, incidentally, for
store customers, working force and
project residents will still be provided, except that project residents can
only obtain one parking space
whether the rental unit contains two
bedrooms or one. Parking at the
BART station will not be crippled,
contrary to former mayor Quiggs
assertion.
Its also relevant to recall that proj-

Guest
perspectives
ect documents were originally issued
publicly to members of the City
Council and Millbrae residents on June
24, 2015, that 11 public meetings were
subsequently conducted, including
Millbrae Planning Commission and
City Council open meetings, public
hearings and community sessions.
City staff was available for consultation, and answers to most questions
which two councilmembers read at the
Jan. 12 meeting as if those hadnt been
exhaustively investigated by city staff.
Its no wonder the Millbrae Planning
Commission, including my equally
respected friend from my successful
rst campaign for the state Senate in
1986, Commission Chair Kathy
Quigg, unanimously approved the
environmental impact report and specic site plan in November. Having
approved the scrupulously-prepared
EIR Jan. 12, approval of the remaining
specic site plan by the City Council
Jan. 26 will nally augur commencement of development of a project that
emblemizes the long-recognized concept of transit-oriented development
and bestowing admiration, revenue and
continuing vitality on a precious city
which I was honored to represent in the
state Senate for 12 years.
Retired San Mateo County Superior
Court judge Quentin L. Kopp served in
the state Senate, 1986-1998, as an independent, which he still is.

School input on transit hub project

were posted to the public as required.
In October 2013, the EIR consultant

doubt Millbraes city attorney would
lead the council in a direction that
would warrant such actions. New

comments during the Jan. 12 City
Council meeting certainly didnt reflect
the tone of the districts attorney.
During the Jan. 12 council meeting,
the Millbrae city attorney specifically
cited from Senate Bill 50 that it is the
district, not the city, that needs to follow the process to increase developer
fees so that the district can deal with the
estimated 875 additional students
over next 25 years. The Millbrae staff
dealt in detail and completely as to how
and when school fees are calculated and
that this issue should not delay City
Council actions.
Ive always recognized the district as
an important stakeholder to our high
quality of living in Millbrae. After
years of deliberation and more than
numerous (10 plus) public meetings, I
trust and encourage councilmembers to
move forward and adopt the Millbrae
Station Area Specific Plan Jan. 26.

A call to service
A

sk not what your country can do for you,


ask what you can do for your country.
President John F. Kennedy, January 20,

1961.
Last Wednesday marked the 55th anniversary of
President Kennedys famous inaugural address. The
speech is historically renowned for his great call to
service for the American people.
Kennedys national call for service was timely. The
nation was at the height of the Cold War with Russia.
Kennedy recognized that, given the critical circumstances of the time, convincing the American people to
request more of their government would be counterintuitive to the needs of the nation. Although the youngest
of any president on record, Kennedy was wise enough to
understand that the nation was in dire need of a message
that inspired the American people to commit to selfless
acts of service for others.
Kennedys words warrant sincere reflection today. From
national security and immigration to housing costs and
affordable health care, the
American people demand much
of our federal government at a
time when the government is
significantly overburdened. We
currently face a national debt
of more than $18 trillion, are
engaged in a global war on terJonathan Madison
ror and a fragile economic
recovery following one of the worst financial crises in
human history.
More than any time in our nations history, we hear
demands of what our government can do for the
American people. An age-old Biblical verse teaches us
to reverse this question. In Phillipians 2:4, the passage
reads, Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Too seldom do we ask the question of how we can
uplift others in our surrounding communities to make
our nation stronger as a whole. Selfless acts of service
are at the heart of what makes our nation a beacon upon
a hill, and Kennedy understood that.
I learned the value of public service as a mentor of Big
Brothers and Big Sisters a community service organization that provides mentors for at-risk youth in various
communities. As a mentor in Washington, D.C., I was
assigned to a 9-year-old named Marcel (His name has
been modified for purposes of this column). Once a
month, Marcel and I would engage in a number of activities, such as local libraries, museums and movie theaters.
Marcels father left when he was only an adolescent,
and he lacked a role model to take after. Thus, it was no
surprise to me when I first asked Marcel about what he
wanted to be when he grew up. He gave no verbal
response. He merely shrugged his shoulders and stared at
his shoes. Marcels story is symbolic of many of our atrisk youth who have been born into an adverse living
situation.
On one occasion, I decided to bring Marcel on a tour
of the U.S. Capitol building. I was deeply humbled to
learn that, while he lived nine years in D.C., he had
never seen our nations Capitol building, which was no
more than a mere 2 miles from his house.
Several years passed and I moved to San Francisco.
The next time I spoke with Marcel, he informed me that
he had decided what he wanted to do for his career
become a firefighter. I smiled, nodded and asked him
why. Marcel cheerfully replied, There is always a fire to

I share that experience to simply say that there are
many ways in which we can give back to our country.
We can volunteer at food shelters. We can be a big
brother or big sister to many of the youths around us in
need of direction and guidance. Of course, the most selfless act belongs to the brave men and women in uniform
who defend our beloved nation from every shore. The
bottom line is that our opportunities to give back to our
communities are endless.
May the spirit of Kennedys words capture our hearts
so that we may put the interests of others before our
own. Let us commit ourselves to the idea of giving back
to our nation that has offered us so much to make the
lives of our fellow citizens better each day.

Business briefs
Apples iPhone success may be reaching its peak
SAN FRANCISCO Apple could soon face one of its
biggest challenges to date: Peak iPhone.
Most analysts believe Apple surpassed its own record by
selling more than 74.5 million units of its flagship product
in the final three months of 2015. But there are signs that
iPhone sales in the first three months of 2016 will for the
first time ever show an abrupt decline from the same period a year earlier.
That could mark a pivotal moment for the Silicon Valley
giant. Apple is the worlds biggest company, in terms of
stock value, thanks to the iPhones surging popularity
around the world. In business terms, Apple makes most of its
money from iPhone sales.
But concerns about slowing growth have sent the stock
into a months-long slump, fueling debate about what kind of
company Apple will be in the future.

Twitter says four

NEW YORK Twitter says that four executives are leaving
the company.
Its stock fell almost 4 percent in morning trading Monday.
CEO Jack Dorsey posted a statement to the microblogging
service saying that Alex Roetter, Skip Schipper, Katie
Stanton and Kevin Weil are exiting the company. Dorsey said
he wanted to address employees later this week, but issued a
statement due to inaccurate press rumors about the departures.
Roetter served as senior vice president of engineering,
Schipper was vice president of human resources, Stanton was
vice president of social media and Weil was senior vice president of product.
Dorsey said that Chief Operating Officer Adam Bain would
be taking on some additional responsibilities on an interim
basis.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell


Monday as the price of oil slumped
again, giving up some of the ground it
gained late last week. That forced energy
companies lower.
The stock market opened lower and
stayed in the red all day. The selling
accelerated in the last hour of trading.
The biggest losses came in the energy
sector and companies that make chemicals and paper goods.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
208.29 points, or 1.3 percent, to
15,885.22. The Standard & Poors 500
index shed 29.82 points, or 1.6 percent,
to 1,877.08. The Nasdaq composite
index lost 72.69 points, or 1.6 percent,
to 4,518.49.
Plunging oil prices have been decimating profits at energy companies and
getting investors worried that the global economy is slowing down.
Companies that mine metals, especially
copper, face the same problem. Low oil
prices are also hurting banking stocks
because some banks hold large amounts
of loans from energy companies, and
investors fear they may not get paid
back.
The price of benchmark U.S. crude fell
$1.85, or 5.7 percent, to $30.34 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, lost $1.68,

or 5.2 percent, to $30.50 a barrel in


London. U.S. oil jumped 9 percent
Friday after setting 12-year lows earlier
in the week.
Exxon Mobil lost $2.59, or 3.4 percent, to $73.98 and Chevron fell $2.65,
or 3.2 percent, to $80.89. Chesapeake
Energy lost 56 cents, or 16 percent, to
$2.95.
Paper and packaging companies fell
on concerns about product prices
falling. WestRock gave up $5.63, or
14.9 percent, to $32.11 and
International Paper declined $3.87, or
10.6 percent, to $32.58.
Mark Wilde, managing director BMO
Capital Markets, said stocks in that sector are falling because an influential
trade publication estimated that prices
for containerboard, an important product, fell sharply in January.
I think it confirms peoples fears,
Wilde said. Falling prices are going to
mean lower earnings.
Friday was the best day for the S&P
500 since early December. It was the
biggest gain for the Nasdaq composite
index since September. That helped
stocks make their first weekly gain in
the last four.
The shaky global outlook helped
push companies to make a slew of big
deals last year, and that trend continued
as Tyco International and Johnson
Controls said they will combine. Tyco
makes fire suppression systems and

Johnson Controls makes ventilation


systems, auto seating and car batteries.
Both stocks have struggled as investors
worried about their growth.
Tyco jumped $3.56, or 11.6 percent,
to $34.15, the biggest gain in the S&P
500. Johnson Controls lost $1.39, or
3.9 percent, to $34.21.
Companies spent a record $5 trillion
on acquisitions and other deals last year,
a big jump from 2014. While few deals
have been announced in the first weeks
of 2016, business technology company
Intralinks that will change. It thinks
global deal value will rise 3.5 percent,
to a total of almost $2.3 trillion.
John Manley, chief equity strategist
for Wells Fargo Fund Management, said
he expects another big year of deals
even though interest rates are likely to
rise. Thats because companies around
the world are still looking for ways to
become more efficient and lift their
earnings and sales growth.
I have no reason to think its going
to slow down, he said.
The economic outlook didnt get any
brighter Monday. Business economists
became more pessimistic about profits
and sales than they were last fall and
expect slower economic growth, according to a survey by the National
Association for Business Economics.
However, most of the survey participants said their companies plan to raise
wages in the first quarter.

Month after raising rates, Fed


faces darker global economy
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Since the Federal


Reserve raised interest rates from
record lows last month, the global picture has darkened. Stock markets have
plunged. Oil prices have skidded.
Chinas leaders have struggled to steer
the worlds second-biggest economy.
All of which raised a delicate question: Did the Fed err in raising rates for
the first time in nearly a decade?
Dont expect the central bank to
answer or even acknowledge that question when it issues a statement after its
latest policy meeting ends Wednesday.
But in their meeting, the Feds policymakers will surely grapple with
whether and, if so, how to

respond to an altered economic landscape.


No one thinks the Fed will suddenly
reverse course and roll back the quarter-point increase in its key shortterm rate it announced Dec. 16. But
some analysts say the Fed might signal that the pace of three or four additional rate increases that many had
expected this year could become more
gradual with perhaps only two rate
hikes this year and not starting until
midyear.
People are just scared right now,
said David Wyss, a former Fed staff
economist and now an economics professor at Brown University. It isnt
just China weighing on things. Europe
hasnt solved its problems, we have
geopolitical risks in the Middle East

and in the United States there is a lack


of confidence in the political parties
and the candidates.
The most visible sign of the economic fear has been the sharp fall in
the stock market. Even after a gain of
211 points Friday, the Dow Jones
industrial average shed more than 7
percent of its value in the first three
trading weeks of 2016.
China has unnerved investors
because of an economic slowdown that
Beijing seems incapable of managing
properly. The countrys decelerating
growth has shrunk global commodity
prices and the emerging market countries that have supplied them to China.
Last week, the price of oil reached a
12-year low of $28.15 a barrel before
rebounding to around $32 on Friday.

Exxon says oil and gas will still dominate energy in 2040
By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS The way oil giant Exxon


Mobil sees it, the global energy landscape wont be radically different in
2040 than it is today.
Oil and gas will remain king,
accounting for an even slightly larger
share of the energy supply. Coal will
fall behind natural gas to become the
third-largest source of energy.
Exxon forecasts that emerging
renewables such as solar and wind

power will triple but remain small


just 4 percent of the worlds energy.
And carbon emissions will continue
rising until around 2030, when cuts in
industrialized nations gain traction
lead an overall reduction.
Those are some of the highlights in
the long-range outlook that Exxon
Mobil Corp. released Monday. It is not
likely to win an enthusiastic response
from environmentalists, including
some of the companys dissident
shareholders, who point to record
global temperatures in 2015 and want
a quicker pivot away from oil, gas and

coal and faster progress to bring down


carbon emissions
Exxon officials say their report is a
dispassionate forecast, not a political
document.
Exxon Mobil uses the outlook to
develop business strategies that underpin our billion-dollar investment decisions, William Colton, the oil
giants chief strategist, said in an
interview. We have every incentive to
get it right.
A great deal has happened since
Exxons last long-term outlook in
December 2014.

Curry drops 37 points as Warriors rip Spurs


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Stephen Curry scored 37


points and hit six 3-pointers in three quarters
as the reigning champion Golden State
Warriors showed they still rule the West by
routing the San Antonio Spurs 120-90 on
Monday night.

Curry had 15 points in the opening quarter


and shot 12 for 20 in Golden States 39th
straight home win at raucous Oracle Arena,
where a star-studded sellout crowd saw a lopsided showdown in what was billed as a
potential Western Conference finals preview.
The Warriors (41-4) snapped a 13-game
winning streak by the Spurs (38-7), off to the
best start in franchise history but without Tim

player in NBA history to reach that mark.


Chants of M-V-P! came from every corner
of the arena as Curry did it all for his highestscoring total in 17 games against San
Antonio knocking down 3s from the baseline and hitting from 30 feet well beyond the
arc. Coming off his second triple-double of

Duncan this time. The teams had the highest


combined winning percentage in NBA history by opponents meeting at least 40 games
into the season.
Curry galloped down the court and pounded
his chest after his second straight 3-pointer
and 10th consecutive point put Golden State
up 76-56 with 7:55 to go in the third. It was
his 1,400th career 3 and he became the 26th

Deflating ending
to Patriots season

EC grappler finds her niche

By Kyle Hightower
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Athlete of the Week


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Natali Vazquez wanted to be a fighter. So,


after getting beaten up on the soccer pitch,
she finally navigated to the world of
wrestling.
Now a senior standout at El Camino,
Vazquez has found her niche in wrestlings
lightweight divisions. She ranks No. 4
among Central Coast Section grapplers in
the 108-pound division, making her the second best in the weight class out of the
Peninsula Athletic League after No. 1-ranked
Chelsea Wilson from Menlo-Atherton.

Through one of the busiest weeks of her


varsity career, Vazquez held up like a champ
last week by posting a 7-2 record in individual matches, earning a pair of medals through
two tournament appearances and helping the
El Camino boys team to a dual-meet victory
over Capuchino, a workload worthy of a
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week nod.
It took Vazquez two years to find her way
onto the mat though. When she arrived at El
Camino as a freshman, all she knew was she
wanted to fight. Her inspiration came from
the boxing world. In addition to having two
cousins who boxed recreationally, a good
family friend Ariana Borrero was making

inroads as a pro boxer out of Baby Face


Boxing in Pacifica.
She kind of made me feel like I should
push myself, that I should do what I want to
do, Vazquez said. That helped a lot because I
felt like Im comfortable where I am now.
Vazquezs father, however, instead guided
her towards martial arts.
My siblings and I have always been
roughhousers and I have a few cousins in boxing, Vazquez said. My original intent was
to do boxing but my dad told me I might be
better off in jujitsu.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The Patriots


season started off the field with
Deflategate. It ended with a deflating loss
on it.
In the middle, New England at times
resembled the same unflappable, tunnelvision team that earned its fourth Super
Bowl title one year ago.
But the lasting memories of the 2015 season will likely be its humbling conclusion.
One marred by injuries, mistakes and questionable decision making that derailed the
Patriots attempt to be the first team to
repeat as champions since they did in the
2003 and 2004 seasons.

MLB clears Yu Darvish after brothers arrest


By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas Major League


Baseball has determined Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish had no role in any of the activities that led to the arrest of his brother in
Japan for allegedly running an illegal gambling ring.
MLB was looking into the October arrest of
Sho Darvish as part of standard protocol and
not investigating the pitcher, according to
the person who spoke Monday on condition
of anonymity to The Associated Press
because MLB and the Rangers have not publicly released the findings.
The person said the investigation found no
involvement by Yu Darvish.

Sho Darvish was arrested after he reportedly took


about 1,850 bets on MLB
games as well as professional baseball games in
Japan. His arrest came
after a police investigation in Japan that lasted
more than a year.
It was unclear if any
Yu Darvish
bets were taken on games
involving the Rangers. The Japan Times said
Osaka police have not accused Yu Darvish of
any wrongdoing.
Yu Darvish issued a statement last week that
he understood that MLB had to look into the
situation, and was confident he would be
cleared.

I am certain that they will find that I had no


involvement in this matter whatsoever,
Darvish said in the statement through his representatives at the Wasserman Media Group.
The pitcher also said he would have no
other comment on the situation out of respect
for MLB, and that he was focused on preparing for the 2016 season.
Darvish missed all of last season after having ligament replacement surgery during
spring training. The 29-year-old Darvish is
not expected to be ready for the start of the
season, but could be back sometime in May.
The Rangers signed Darvish from Japan
before the 2012 season. In 83 starts from
2012-14, Darvish was 39-25 with a 3.27
ERA, with 680 strikeouts and 218 walks in
545 1/3 innings pitched.

any cost overruns, became an obstacle in
Boston, which was initially selected as a candidate for 2024 but later dropped out.
The blueprint for the rail yard was in doubt
from the start, and committee officials disclosed last year they were shopping for
alternatives.

Top-ranked Williams beat Sharapova

He wouldnt discuss the possibility of
shifting a high-profile matchup to
England, such as Yankees-Red Sox.
We havent really settled on teams,
and I dont want to speculate about that,
he said. Obviously, we want to make as
good a first impression in Europe as we
possibly can.

DH rule unlikely to change


Manfred said that when he spoke last
week of a possible expansion of the designated hitter to the National League, he
should have included an emphasis that
change is not likely.
I think the status quo on the DH has
served the industry the well, he said. I
think it serves an important purpose in
terms of defining the difference between
the American League and the National
League, and that league definition is
important to us from a competitive perspective.

International draft

We are very interested in playing


there, and were working hard on that
one, Manfred said. I dont think it will
be an opener because of the weather
issues. It would be later in the season.
Baseball has been looking at the new
Olympic Stadium as a possible venue.

I have been of the view for a number of


years that a single mode of entry into the
bargaining unit is probably the most sustainable and effective for the industry over
time, Manfred said. I think we were
closer to getting there in certain rounds of
bargaining than people may have understood, and probably it was a mistake not
to push it across the finish line.

Shortened season
Whether to shorten the season from
162 games, its length since the early
1960s, is a topic for collective bargaining.
The broadcast agreements are a really serious issue, and were going to
sort out what flexibility we have once
the issue gets aired at the table,
Manfred said.
While he is concerned about the
demands on players, by the same
token, there are certain economics
built on a 162-game season.
Something less than that has massive
economic ramifications, not to even
mention statistics and undermining
the comparability of performances of
players over time. Its not something
you can undertake lightly.

Fan netting
MLB recommended last month that
teams have protective netting in front of
seats between the dugouts and within 70

Police recommend charges


against Seattle FB Derrick Coleman
BELLEVUE, Wash. Police have recommended felony charges of vehicular assault
and hit-and-run against Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman for an October car crash
after which he acknowledged smoking synthetic marijuana.
The King County Prosecutors Office confirmed Monday having received the charging
recommendations from the Bellevue Police
Department.
In the police report, Coleman told police he

and drove somewhere around 5:30 p.m.
The car crash took place just after 6 p.m.,
with Colemans truck traveling at 60 mph in a
35 mph zone and hitting a Honda Civic. The
driver of the Civic suffered a broken collarbone and a head injury.
Police say Coleman showed signs of being
impaired during field sobriety tests, but blood
tests taken several hours after the crash did not
show the drug Coleman acknowledged taking.

Broncos to wear home white uniforms


ENGLEWOOD, Colo. The Denver
Broncos have chosen to wear their white road
uniforms in Super Bowl 50 against the
Carolina Panthers.
Its a simple reason: Weve had Super Bowl
success in our white uniforms, said John
Elway, who was the Broncos QB in back-toback Super Bowl wins in the 1990s and is now
their executive VP and general manager.
Denver wore its white uniforms in its last
Super Bowl win, 34-19 over Atlanta 17
years ago.

PATS
Continued from page 11
We did a lot of good things, won a lot of
games and came up short in the end. Its bittersweet, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said
on Monday, the morning after his teams 2018 AFC championship game loss to the
Denver Broncos.
The year began with quarterback Tom Brady
tarred, then unchained from a suspension on
the heels of cheating allegations in the scandal known as Deflategate.
Brady and the Patriots seized on that
momentum and played like a team in a time
machine, running off 10 straight victories
before Thanksgiving weekend. Brady looked
like the early-season MVP during the stretch,
throwing for 25 touchdowns and more than
3,000 yards.
Receiver Matthew Slater said the team tried
to rally behind their quarterback during the
scandal.
Certainly that was a motivating factor for
us. But it wasnt just for him, it was for the
whole football team, he said. A lot of guys
went through a lot this year. Maybe not as
highly-publicized as what Tom went through.
But a lot of guys went through things.
Theres a lot to be said for what we were
able to accomplish and where we got ourselves this year.
For his part, Brady seemed to be already
focused on 2016.
I want to win it every year. Id love to finish in the last game of the year and win it,
Brady said Sunday night. Its a pretty tough
thing to do. Hopefully I have more opportunities for that. This team fought really hard,
we just came up short.

Belichicks future
Whatever the ultimate culprit of the
Patriots shortcomings this season, several
questions trail the Patriots as they begin the
offseason. One of persistent ones will be
about the coaching future of Belichick, who
turns 64 in April. Hes previously said that

The Patriots went 3-4 over the final seven weeks of the regular season while Julian Edelman,
left, was out of action with a foot injury.
immediately following a season is not the
time to make snap judgments of any kind. He
repeated that on Monday. Absolutely. The
emotion of the game is still with all of us. But
the process still has to start, he said. So
well start it and do things in the normal
course that we do.

Plagued by injuries
As good as New England played early,
injuries began to take their toll late. Brady
lost one of his most reliable targets when
receiver Julian Edelman broke a foot in the
Nov. 15 win over the New York Giants. He
missed the final seven games of the regular
season. The Patriots went 3-4 without him.
The offensive line also began to show
signs of wear with two members of its rotation going on injured reserve prior to Week 6.
Only once in the regular season did the
Patriots start the same offensive line two
games in a row. They were able to do it in
both playoff games, but the unit was woefully outplayed in the AFC championship game
in allowing Brady to be sacked four times and

knocked down several more times.


The injuries werent restricted to the
offense. For the season New England had 14
players in injured reserve.
Thats part of football, Belichick said.
Whichever ones you have, you have, and
you try to do the best you can to prevent
them, try to do the best you can to get them
back.

No blame game
Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowskis
missed extra-point following New Englands
first touchdown of the game against the
Broncos Sunday turned out to be pivotal.
The miss left the Patriots needing to convert on a two-point conversion after closing
to within two points in the final seconds.
They failed.
Steves a great kicker, he had a great year
for us, Belichick said. I think every player,
coach and participant in the game wishes
there was a couple things they could have
done differently. I feel that way. Everybody
Ive talked to feels that way.

Panthers All-Pro LB
undergoes surgery
Davis still expected to play
at Super Bowl in two weeks
By Steve Reed
THE ASSOICATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. All-Pro linebacker


Thomas Davis had surgery Monday morning
on his broken right forearm, but is expected
to play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
My understanding is if everything goes
well it is something he can mostly certainly
play with, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said
Monday. So we are excited about that possibility.
Rivera did not know which forearm bone
Davis broke.
He said the 11-year NFL
veteran may need to wear a
brace on his arm similar
to the one worn by New
England Patriots tight end
Rob Gronkowski.
Davis broke his arm in
the second quarter of
Carolinas 49-15 win
the
Arizona
Thomas Davis over
Cardinals on Sunday in
the NFC championship. Davis said after the
game he fully expected to play in the Super
Bowl in about two weeks.
Rivera said if anybody can play through
the pain, it would be Davis, who has battled
back from three torn ACLs in the same knee
to play at an All-Pro level.
He said (he was going to play) with the
same type of sincerity he said to me when he
told me he was coming back from the third
ACL, Rivera said. There is something about
his conviction and I think thats what makes
him who he is today. So I have no doubt that
as long as everything continues to heal the
way its supposed to, hell be out there.
Players were not made available for comment on Monday.
Davis wife posted an Instagram photo of
her husband wearing a hospital shower cap
on Monday and thanked well-wishers.
Davis said after the game Sunday he
planned to play in the Super Bowl.
It hurt. It was painful, Davis said Sunday.
At the same time I believe in our training
staff and I believe in the process. If it is at all
possible I know they are going to get me
back and I will do my part to make sure Im
ready.
Davis broke his forearm while trying to
break up a pass in the second quarter and was
taken to the locker room for observations.
He returned to the sideline in the second half
wearing a sling on his right arm.

Court rules against Al Davis


SAN FRANCISCO A federal

and his wife, Carol, in a fight with
the IRS over about $2.5 million in
tax assessments.
The court ruled Monday that the
assessments for 1990, 1992 and
1995 were valid, though the IRS
breached a contract with Al Davis.

Sports brief
The decision by the 9th U. S.

The contract at issue entitled
Davis and other Raiders partners to

assessed. The IRS failed to honor
that part of the contract, prompting
Davis to sue for a refund.

this season. Cohen helped lead the
Dragons to a PDL Southwest
Division title in the teams inaugural season last year. Cohen
signed a professional contract
with the Orange County Blues last
August.
Marcinkowskis signing proves
that the Dragons are looking to
eld as competitive a team as possible but, unlike the professional
ranks where money talks, teams in
the PDL are more like college programs, that have to recruit players
to join their teams. And just like
college teams, players are looking
for situations that best suit them
and where they feel most comfortable.
The PDL is going to be the top
amateur league in the country. So
many MLS players and U.S. Team
players have played in the PDL.
Its a good draw for the best of the
best in college. Its up to the
players where they play, Gardner
said. Thats why reaching out to
the players is very important.
Fortunately we have a guy like
Chris Leitch who has these
connections.
Gardner said it is Leitch, the
Earthquakes staff and Bucchere
who determine which players the
Dragons will use for the upcom-

ing season and Gardner said that


the club will have a number of
player announcements in the
coming weeks.
While the Earthquakes will continue to take a macro approach to
player recruitment, they are not
ignoring the micro approach
either. Gardner said the Dragons
will hold an open tryout at Menlo
College Feb. 13 and it is during
these showcases that a previous
unknown talent can suddenly nd
himself taking a rst step toward a
possible professional career.
We have a commitment to a
number of guys, but the roster is
still very uid, Gardner said.
Weve identied a number of really great players and really great
returning players.
(But) we found a number of people from last year (at the open tryout), Gardner continued. Were
looking for impact players to

have plenty of spots open.

Many children with Medicaid not getting required dental care


By Carla K. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Three out of four children


covered by Medicaid in four states didnt
receive all required dental care over a recent
two-year period, according to a federal
report that recommends a government push
to improve access to care.
One in four such kids didnt see a dentist at
all, the Health and Human Services inspector generals office said Monday. Among the
reasons were that there were too few dentists
accepting Medicaid patients and a lack of
education about the importance of proper
dental care.
In 2007, 12-year-old Deamonte Driver of
Maryland died from an infection that started
in an abscessed tooth, turning national
attention to a longstanding economic disparity in childrens oral health. Mondays
report sends a message that the problem
still exists.
Investigators looked at Medicaid dental
claims for 2011 and 2012 in four states:
California,
Indiana,
Louisiana and

Maryland. The states serve about one-fifth


of all children with Medicaid and are thought
to be representative of the nation as a
whole.
Problems havent improved with more
coverage under President Barack Obamas
health overhaul, experts said. The
Affordable Care Acts insurance expansion,
which began in 2014, has only meant there
are more families competing for the limited
number of dentists participating in
Medicaid, said Meridith Seife, a deputy
regional inspector general who worked on
the report.
We found a significant number of children, 28 percent, who didnt receive any
dental services over a two-year period
despite being continuously enrolled in
Medicaid, Seife said. We found that to be a
huge, huge problem.
Medicaid covers dental care for an estimated 37 million children from low-income
families. The state and federal Medicaid program varies by state, but there are national

The agency also has about 35,000 volunteers.
Its funding comes mostly from the government to the tune of about $12 million

Weve done a great job of sustaining

The third incident happened on Dec. 18,
2014, when a deputy district attorney was in
his courtrooms conference room with a cup
of coffee. Bergeron asked her if her office
was across the hall and whether there was
coffee there, implying he wanted her to
bring him a cup.
After a sarcastic exchange,
she went to get him a cup of
coffee, and he told her if he
had any money, hed give
her a tip.
According to the commission, when she returned, she
said, Here is your coffee. Is

there anything else I can do for you, Your


Honor? Can I iron your shirts?
Bergeron responded, Well, at noon if its
still raining outside I can give you my keys,
and you can go get my car.
That may be a mans job, she said, then
left.
Bergeron acknowledged his actions were
discourteous, undignified and, in the case of
the missed phone call, an overreaction. The
incidents werent the first complaints about
Bergerons behavior: in October 2013, six
women who worked in the court complained
that Bergeron had treated them in a rude,
abrasive and condescending manner, according to the commission.

Bergeron was previously admonished earlier that same year. The judge called an
attorney back to his courtroom after the
attorney had a confrontation with the court
clerk, holding a proceeding on the attorneys actions that he lacked the authority
for.
He was privately admonished for embroilment and abuse of authority, according to
the commission. Bergeron has been a judge
in San Mateo County for 18 years and started a new term in January 2015.
His attorney, Joseph McMonigle, said
the judge realizes he made mistakes, but disagrees that his actions related to gender,
according to the Associated Press.

In 2013, the American Dental


Association found that 48 percent of
children with Medicaid had seen a dentist in the past year, compared to 64
percent of children with private insurance. That was a smaller gap than in
2005, when 35 percent of children
with Medicaid and 60 percent of privately insured children had an annual
dental checkup.
A lack of dental care can lead to
infections that require emergency
room visits and expensive repairs.

In New York, Dr. Amr Moursi recalled


treating a 3-year-old patient, a girl
whose baby teeth were so severely
decayed and infected that he had to
remove all 20 of them in an expensive
surgery under full anesthesia. Its an
extreme example of how constant
snacking and sipping from a bottle or
cup can bathe a childs mouth in bacteria-feeding carbohydrates, Moursi
said. The girl, now 7, is doing well,
her adult teeth healthy thanks to regular preventive care.

New federal data shows


nearly 3 percent rise in child abuse
NEW YORK The number of U.S. children victimized by
abuse and neglect increased by nearly 3 percent in the latest
annual reporting period, according to new federal data.
According to the report released Monday by the Department
of Health and Human Services, the estimated number of victimized children in the 2014 fiscal year was 702,208 up
from 682,307 in 2013.
The report estimated fatalities attributable to child abuse
and neglect at 1,580 up from 1,530 in 2013.
HHS said Rafael Lopez, commissioner of the
Administration on Children, Youth and Families, had sought
input from child welfare officials in states with the increases
in reported abuse and neglect. According to Lopez, the officials cited substance abuse, mental health issues and domestic
violence as factors contributing to the increased maltreatment.
We need to shift our focus to the front-end prevention of
child abuse and neglect and make sure that families get the
help they need when they need it, Lopez said.

Average age of U.S. moms


at all-time high, now over 26
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The average age of


first-time mothers is at an all-time
high in the U.S over 26.
The change is largely due to a big
drop in teen moms. But more first
births to older women also are tugging
the number up, said T.J. Mathews of
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Hes the lead author of a report
released Thursday that put the average
age at 26 years, 4 months for women
who had their first child in 2014.
The government began tracking the
age of new mothers around 1970 when
the average was 21. Its been mostly
climbing ever since, and spiked in
about the last five years.
The number rocketed immediately
after a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling
legalizing abortion, which is used
mostly by young unmarried women.
Also fueling the rise were improvements in birth control and greater
opportunities for women, experts
said.
Women are staying in school
longer, theyre going into the workforce, theyre waiting to get married,
and theyre waiting to have kids, said
John Santelli, a Columbia University
professor of population and family
health.
Its been going on in the U.S. since
the 1950s, and in many other coun-

tries as well, he added.


Overall, the average age of firsttime moms has been rising in every
racial and ethnic group, and in every
state. Since 2000, some of the most
dramatic increases were for black
mothers and for moms living along
the West Coast.
However, the Northeast still has the
highest average ages. Topping the list
are Massachusetts and the District of
Columbia, each at about 29, and
Connecticut and New York, at or
near 28.
In New Yorks Park Slope
neighborhood in Brooklyn
an enclave for families
with young children
older moms are common.
Pushing a stroller on a
frigid Wednesday morning, Meisha Welch said
she didnt have the first
of her two children until just
after her 38th
birthday.
Many of
my friends I
grew up with,
we all have
small children,
said Welch, now
42. We had children at what in the
past may have seemed
like an older age. But now
it feels more average.

PACIFICA
Continued from page 1
at combating erosion and keeping residents in their homes.
On Monday, residents of a 20-unit
apartment building were forced to
leave their homes overlooking the
ocean after Pacifica officials yellowtagged the property at 310 Esplanade
Ave., according to a city press release.
The closure follows the city declaring a state of emergency in response to
severe erosion of the cliffs, a dramatic
failure of a sea wall along Beach
Boulevard and storms damaging the
Pacifica Pier. Two other neighboring
apartment buildings at 320 and 330
Esplanade Ave. were also declared
uninhabitable in 2010 and must be
demolished, according to the release.
The cliffs and beach below belong to
a private property owner that appears
to be in bankruptcy meaning the city
may have to decide what should be
done, said Police Chief Dan Steidle.
Another private property owner near
the 900 block of Palmetto Avenue,
which has also sustained significant
erosion, has recently installed new
riprap or boulders along the beach,
Steidle said.
The city itself has worked to use
boulders as a temporary fix near the
failed seawall at Beach Boulevard and
declaring a state of the emergency is
the first step toward seeking state and
federal funds, Steidle said.
As to the cliffs eroding along
Esplanade Avenue, city officials plan
on letting nature take its course.
Cavities in the bluff are forming to
the south, west and north of the building and these critically over-steepened
slopes are anticipated to fall back to
more stable profiles in the next several days, Chief Building Official Mike
Cully said in the release.

County repairs continue


Further south, erosion at another
portion of the coast has been halted
after crews with San Mateo County and
Half Moon Bay stacked new protective
boulders along the beach at Mirada
Road.
A large portion of the nearly 75-foot
stretch of road just south of Medio
Avenue in unincorporated San Mateo
County crumbled into the ocean earlier
this month. Erosion has long been a
problem at the site, but this winter
brought extreme conditions that have
residents hoping will prompt officials
to investigate longer term solutions.
Several longtime residents of the
area recalled how dramatically the
coastline has changed over the last few
decades with former beach-access
routes destroyed, vehicular access
closed and cliffs eroded.
This year has definitely been the

worst, said 22-year resident Mike


Mitchell, who pointed out the now
pedestrian- and bicycle-only bridge
was once open to cars. I hope it could
be protected, Id love it to be there for
our sons and our childrens generation.
Last week, the county was able to
secure an emergency coastal development permit from the California
Coastal Commission to extend the
boulders or riprap and stabilize this
portion of Mirada Road, said Joe
LoCoco, the countys deputy director
of road services.
Now, officials are trying to decide
the most appropriate engineering
solution and ideally, theyll be allowed
to continue under an emergency permit
to allow more timely repairs, LoCoco
said. One possibility experts are considering is known as a soil nail wall.
It involves drilling rows of holes perpendicularly into the cliffs edge, filling them with long steel bars that
could span 50 feet or until they reach
stable material, then pouring a blanket
of grout along the cliff to reinforce the
nails, LoCoco explained.
LoCoco said it would be another
week or two of research and planning
before they determine if the soil nail
wall is appropriate. But ultimately,
any work will depend on what the
Coastal Commission approves and the
county hopes to conduct maintenance
on an older, neighboring portion of
the riprap as well, LoCoco said.

Decades of erosion
Gail La Mar said this is her third El
Nio living off Mirada Road. Hers is
one of the few properties on the west
side of the street, sitting atop a seemingly precarious cliff, but offering
unparalleled views. La Mar recalled
neighbor Michael Powers urging the
county to extend the boulders years
ago, but to no avail.
He really begged them to put that
riprap in that area and they didnt do it.
So, consequentially the road is really
eroding, La Mar said, adding shed
like more proactive repairs. I just
think its sad that they didnt [extend
the riprap]. Its not like they think
preventatively, thats the sad thing.
Powers home, wheres hes lived for

almost 50 years, is basically groundzero for Mirada Road erosion as his


property is directly across from the
damaged cliff. A nearly 4-foot-wide
stretch fell to the ocean almost two
weeks ago and Powers, along with several other tenants, were at risk of losing access to their property.
On Monday, Powers said he was
somewhat relieved by the new boulders
now protecting his property.
It seems to be rested for the time
being. But obviously, they still have a
lot to do out there to stabilize it and
rebuild the road, Powers said, noting
the coastal trail runs along Mirada.
Its the third most popular recreational place in the county and its a treasure
to the county Mirada Road and
Miramar Beach. And for all of those
reasons, it deserves protection.
Helen Rogers, who lives nearby and
walks her dog along Mirada Road, said
shes now questioning whether to
allow her young son to bike over the
pedestrian bridge.
It just doesnt look safe, Rogers
said.
Christopher Hedge, who runs a
recording studio at Powers property,
said he was prompted to contact media
outlets when he noticed how severely
the storm was affecting the cliff.
It was getting really extreme,
pieces were falling off precipitously,
Hedge said. Twenty-five feet of cliff
fell off, about 4 feet deep, then it was
sort of like ah, we could lose the
road. And as soon as we lose the road,
it would be a real problem for all of
these properties because theres no
other access.
For these longtime residents whove
seen the beach disappear and the bluffs
erode over the years, many point a finger at the U.S. Army Corps jetty at
Pillar Point Harbor.
Built in the late 1950s, the outer
jetty has led to the degradation of nearby beaches by trapping sand in the
harbor. Without the natural deposit of
material, beaches and the coast erode
more quickly. While the Army Corps
continues its yearslong study to evaluate whether it will help fund a dredging
project, the San Mateo County Harbor
District has taken the lead urging sand
replenishment at Surfers Beach
where a collaborative project between
the county, Caltrans and Half Moon
Bay is currently underway with riprap
being laid to help protect Highway 1.
Mitchell, who was walking his dog
along Mirada Road Monday morning,
noted theres other bare areas of the
coast and questions why the appropriate agency hasnt installed riprap.
But La Mar and Mitchell noted more
than a few rocks are needed to keep the
coastline from eroding dramatically.
Its disturbing, Mitchell said.
When they built the [jetty], it
changed the wave patterns that began
the erosion at the harbor and comes all
the way down.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Blanca Judith Burke
Case Number: 126522
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Blanca Judith Burke. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Patricia Medina and John Burke in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Patricia Medina and John
Burke be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: FEB 26, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition

Kerry dismisses posturing ahead of peace talks on Syria


By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENTIANE, Laos U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry


on Monday dismissed Syrian government claims and
opposition complaints as posturing ahead of U.N.-led
peace talks that are supposed to begin this week.
Kerry, in Laos after discussing the negotiations with
officials in Switzerland and Saudi Arabia last week, said he
expected there would be clarity soon about when the talks
would start.
Mondays scheduled start in Geneva has been pushed
back due to disagreements over which groups can represent
the opposition.
Kerry said that during his short stay in Laos, he had spoken to the U.N. special envoy for Syria and the foreign
ministers of Russia, Saudi Arabia, France and Turkey. The
goal is to reach a consensus on how the talks will be run
and a planned cease-fire would proceed.
Were going to have the meeting and (the talks) are
going to start, Kerry told reporters. But what we are trying to do is to make absolutely certain that when they start
everyone is clear about roles and whats happening so you
dont go there and wind up with a question mark or a failure.
You dont want to start Day One by not being able to make
progress.
He said his conversations with colleagues were mainly
about how the cease-fire and confidence-building measures,
such as opening up areas for humanitarian access, would
work.
Kerry declined to elaborate, but said any disagreements
arising in the Geneva talks would be addressed by another
meeting of the 20-odd member International Syria Support
Group that is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 11.
Syrian officials have said they will make no concessions
at the negotiating table. Opposition figures have complained that they are being forced into the talks.
Kerry said those recent statements reflect only tensions and rumors. He dismissed suggestions of disunity
among countries that back the opposition and said U.S.
support for foes of Syrian President Bashar Assad remains
solid.
I think these are just tensions. These are things you
hear as people are worried, he said.
Over the weekend, a senior official in Assads ruling
Baath party said the government would not make any new
concessions in the peace talks at a time when the Syrian
army with the help of Russia is making progress in different parts of the country.
We are not going to give today what we did not give
over the past five years, Hilal al-Hilal said late Saturday,
during a visit to troops in areas they recently captured from
insurgents outside the capital, Damascus.

EU police warning that


more attacks by Islamic
State militants are likely
By Lori Hinnant and John-Thor Dahlburg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Europes top police agency issued a stark warning Monday: Islamic State extremists will keep attempting
lethal attacks on soft targets in Europe as the militant group
increasingly goes global.
Some 2 1/2 months after suicide bombers and gunmen
killed 130 people in Paris, the Europol agency said, there
is every reason to expect that IS, IS-inspired terrorists or
another religiously inspired terrorist group will undertake a
terrorist attack somewhere in Europe again, but particularly
in France, intended to cause mass casualties among the
civilian population.
The sobering conclusions reached by experts from the
European Unions chief agency for law enforcement cooperation and EU member states make clear that many, perhaps
virtually all in Europe, may be at risk.
Without reliable intelligence on the intentions, activities and contacts and travels of known terrorists it is nearly
impossible to exactly predict when and where the next terrorist attack will take place, and what form it will take, the
Europol report said.
Hours before the report was issued, a new video was
released by the Islamic State group celebrating the killers
who carried out the Nov. 13 attacks in the French capital
while also threatening fresh bloodshed.
The grisly recording ends with one militant holding a
severed head, footage of British Prime Minister David
Cameron giving a speech, and an IS warning that whoever
stands with the unbelievers will be a target for our swords.
The 17-minute video, released Sunday, shows the extent
of the planning that went into the multiple attacks in Paris,
which French authorities have said from the beginning were
planned in Syria. All nine men seen in the video died in the
Paris attacks or their aftermath.
