The sweetheart deal between
United Airlines and the city of
Oakland that diverted $10 million
in jet fuel sales tax away from San
Mateo County was based on the
location of a sham ofce that did
not actually conduct such busi-
ness, according
to the state
Board of
Equalizations
A p p e a l s
Division.
The conclu-
sion could mean
the funds will be
reallocated to
San Mateo
County along with smaller
amounts to the cities of Ontario,
Palm Springs, San Diego and Santa
Barbara and Sacramento County
that also challenged claims fuel
transactions happened in the
Oakland ofce.
Theres a lot at stake, said
County Manager John Maltbie.
But a Board of Equalization hear-
ing set for next week is now
pushed back likely to March
because the city of Oakland asked
for more Appeals Division review
of the ruling that it did not comply
with the requirements of the law
allowing the airline to locate an
ofce and split the sales tax rather
than paying San Mateo County
where San Francisco International
Airport is located.
The Board of Equalization will
take the challenge up about six to
nine months later and Deputy
County Counsel David Silberman
said he feels the counties will be
victorious. If not, the next step is
court, he said.

When Brian Skinner and Patricia
McDaniel bought their rst home
in the North Central San Mateo
neighborhood, they had no refer-
ence as to the history behind the
property. Now, three years later,
Skinner and McDaniel have
acquired a wealth of background
information behind their Queen
Anne style home, the Vollers
House.
On Monday, the San Mateo City
Council approved Skinners and
McDaniels application to have
their North Claremont Street home
designated as historical under the
Mills Act.

Lynae Folks and her husband Danny Parodi will close their Burlingame engraving business after the sites
property owner raises rent.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After 33 years in business, a
local engraving store is shutting
its doors due to rising rent costs.
The Personal Touch of
Burlingame will be closing in
January 2014, after nding a nal
Burlingame home at 257 Primrose
Road for 18 years. Its previous
location was at Burlingame
Avenue and Park Road. Lynae
Folks first opened the store in
1981 and weathered three oods,
two res, earthquake retrotting
and other challenges over the
years. Folks and her husband, and
co-owner, Danny Parodi made the
decision to close two weeks ago
after failed negotiations with their
landlord.
We pleaded with the landlord,
but they keep raising rents, said
Folks, who lives in San Carlos.
We paid top dollar and had no air
conditioning in the summer or
heat in the winter. A client just
came in and said what everyone is
saying, Its sad to see so many
small businesses leave
Burlingame.
This disappearance of small
businesses concerns her since
they are the rst who support the
community through donations
since the chain stores have to go
through corporate offices, she
said. Her store delivers packages
after closing times and knows cus-
tomers by name, she added.
Country clubs in the area would
also use her engravings for their
logos.
We have gotten to know
clients over the last 33 years,
she said. Children used to sit on
the oor and play with our dog
(Star Baby). They were not just
clients, they were family. You
dont get that in a big store.

Couple accidentally gets
bag of cash at drive-thru
NASHVILLE, Tenn. A suburban
Nashville couple got more than they
expected in their to-go order in a
McDonalds drive-thru: A bag of cold
cash.
WTVF-TV reports thousands of dol-
lars in cash packaged for a bank deposit
had been placed in a paper to-go bag
near the drive-thru orders on Tuesday
morning. An employee mistakenly
passed the bag to Greg and Stacye Terry
who had just been looking for breakfast.
The employee realized the mistake
almost immediately and followed the
Terrys to their home a short distance
away.
Meanwhile, the couple was ready for
breakfast.
My husband opened the bag and dis-
covered the money inside, Stacye Terry
said. He said, You are not going to
believe this. Sure enough, it was their
bank deposit money.
The second that he said it was their
deposit, my rst thing was let's get in
the truck and take it back.
They said they had a good laugh and
even took photos of the cash before
returning it to the employee. They post-
ed a picture to Facebook of the wads of
bills in plastic bags with what look like
yellow deposit slips.
The owner and operator of the
McDonalds, Phil Gray, in a statement
thanked the Terrys and said he is looking
into how the mistake happened.
Cannibal sandwiches
sicken Wisconsin residents
MILWAUKEE Cannibal sandwich-
es, an appetizer featuring raw, lean
ground beef served on cocktail bread,
may be a Wisconsin tradition, but they
are not safe, health ofcials said, noting
that more than a dozen people became ill
after consuming them last holiday sea-
son.
Health ofcials conrmed four cases
tied to E. coli bacteria and 13 likely
cases in people who ate the sandwiches
at several gatherings late last year, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said a report issued this
week. The meat came from a Watertown
market that later recalled more than
2,500 pounds of meat.
Cannibal sandwiches were tied to out-
breaks in Wisconsin in 1972, 1978 and
1994. The appetizer, also called tiger
meat, steak tartare or simply ground
beef, is usually a simple dish of lean
ground meat seasoned with salt and pep-
per on rye cocktail bread with sliced raw
onion, said Milwaukee historian John
Gurda, who served it at his 1977 wedding
reception. Occasionally, a raw egg will
be mixed with the meat.
Cannibal sandwiches have been a fes-
tive dish in German, Polish and other
ethnic communities in the Milwaukee
area since the 19th century, Gurda said.
The 66-year-old said it was once com-
mon to see them at wedding receptions,
meals following funerals and Christmas
and New Year's Eve parties. The dish has
become less common in recent years
with greater awareness of the risks of
uncooked meat and fewer people eating
beef, but Gurda said he still runs into it.
Its like a coarse pate and when you
put the onions on, there's a crunch as
well and that kind of cuts the softness,
he said.
Keith Meyer, who runs L&M Meats, a
Kenosha butcher shop started by his
father, recalled his German grandfather
and other old guys gobbling the
ground beef when he was growing up.
With his grandfather gone, Meyer's fam-
ily no longer serves the dish, but the 57-
year-old said, Its really not that bad, if
you get by the texture of it.
It's like eating a cold hamburger
thats a little on the raw side, Meyer
added.
His butcher shop sells 50 to 100
pounds of freshly ground round on
Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and per-
haps a day before those holidays to peo-
ple wishing to make cannibal sandwich-
es. Glenns Market and Catering, the
Watertown butcher involved in the
recall, does a similar holiday business,
vice president Jeff Roberts said.
Both stores label their ground beef
with warnings about consuming raw or
undercooked meat, but the men said it's
unlikely people are buying it to cook.
With the fat trimmed off before grind-
ing, the meat is too lean to make a
decent hamburger, Meyer said.

A
fter the Japanese bombed Pearl
Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the San
Mateo Coast was very vulnerable to
enemy invasion.
Patrols were immediately formed to keep
track of any suspicious or military activity
that was going on along the coast. There
was only one main highway along the
coast, so it was used extensively for the
movement of military personnel to the dif-
ferent posts that would be established. As
these positions would be facing the Pacic
Ocean and be concerned with water, the
Navy and the Coast Guard were the main
departments that guarded the coast,
although the U.S. Armys 56th Coast
Artillery pulled four 155 mm portable how-
itzer guns to the coast and placed them in El
Granada. These howitzers would give mobil-
ity to the small force that was there at rst.

BART recovered from delays
caused by an equipment problem,
ofcials said Sunday afternoon.
Trains were delayed by up to 20
minutes on Sunday due to a switch-

Court to consider
states DNA collection law
SAN FRANCISCO An 11-judge
appeals court panel will consider the
constitutionality of Californias
mandatory collection of DNA sam-
ples from everybody arrested in the
state.
Voters passed the law in 2004 to
go in effect in 2009. In 2009 the
American Civil Liberties led a law-
suit alleging the law is an unconsti-
tutional invasion of privacy.
Law enforcement ofcials say
expanding the states DNA collec-
tion helps in solving so-called cold
cases.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals appeared ready last year to
strike down the law. But the U.S.
Supreme Court on a 5-4 vote upheld
a similar law in Maryland before the
9th Circuit could rule. Because of the
high courts ruling on Marylands
narrower law, the appeals court
ordered another hearing. Oral argu-
ments are scheduled for Monday.
Suspect in armed
robbery linked to other crimes
SAN FRANCISCO Police
arrested a suspect in connection
with an armed robbery that occurred
in San Franciscos Nob Hill neigh-
borhood Thursday night and are
investigating possible links to two

The robbery was reported around
8:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1800
block of Polk Street near
Washington Street, according to
police.
Ofcers arriving on the scene
found that two employees in a busi-
ness had detained a suspect,
Nathaniel Lewis, who they alleged
had tried to rob them with what
appeared to be a machine gun,
police said.
Police are investigating the rob-
bery and possible links to two other
robberies that occurred on Nov. 29,

Homeless man found dead
DUBLIN Ahomeless man was
found dead in Dublin on Friday, pos-

Area.
The man was found and pro-
nounced dead in Dublin
around 12:40 p.m. on
Friday, an Alameda
County coroners deputy
said.
The bureau has yet to
determine the unidenti-
ed mans cause of
death, but may investi-
gate exposure to the cold as a possi-
ble cause, the deputy said. An autop-
sy will be conducted on Monday.
If exposure to the cold did cause
the mans death, he would have been
the fth person in the Bay Area to
lose his life due to the recent frigid
temperatures over the past two
weeks.

I n s u r a n c e S e r v i c e s
By Haven Daley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A tired but smiling
85-year-old U.S. veteran detained in North
Korea for several weeks returned home to
applause from supporters, yellow ribbons
tied to pillars outside his home and the
warm embrace of his family.
Merrill Newman arrived at the San
Francisco International Airport Saturday
after turning down a ride aboard Vice
President Joe Bidens Air Force Two in favor
of a direct ight from Beijing. He emerged
into the international terminal smiling,
accompanied by his son and holding the
hand of his wife amid applause from sup-
porters. He spoke briey to the assembled
media, declining to answer any questions or
discuss his ordeal.
Im delighted to be home, he said. Its
been a great homecoming. Im tired, but
ready to be with my family.
He also thanked the Swedish Embassy in
Pyongyang, North Korea, and the U.S.
Embassy in Beijing for helping to secure
his release.
Newman was detained in late October at
the end of a 10-day trip to North Korea, a
visit that came six decades after he oversaw
a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas
during the 1950-53 war.
Last month, Newman read from an awk-
wardly worded alleged confession that apol-
ogized for, among other things, killing
North Koreans during the war. Analysts
questioned whether the statement was
coerced, and former South Korean guerrillas
who had worked with Newman and fought
behind enemy lines during the war disputed
some of the details.
North Korea cited Newmans age and med-
ical condition in allowing him to leave the
country.
Barbara Ingram, a friend and neighbor of
Newmans at the senior citizen complex
where they live said residents broke into
applause when news of Newmans release
was announced Friday during lunch.
Agreat cheer went up, Ingram said. We
are all so very relieved and grateful.
Newmans detention highlighted the
extreme sensitivity with which Pyongyang
views the war, which ended without a formal
peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula
still technically in a state of war. The con-
ict is a regular focus of North Korean prop-
aganda and media, which accuse
Pyongyangs wartime enemies Washington
and Seoul of carrying on the ghting by
continuing to push for the Norths over-
throw.
The televised statement read last month
by Newman said he was attempting to meet
surviving guerrilla ghters he had trained
during the conict so he could reconnect
them with their wartime colleagues living
in South Korea and that he had criticized the
North during his recent trip.
Members of the former South Korean
guerrilla group said in an interview last
week with The Associated Press that
Newman was their adviser. Some have
expressed surprise that Newman would take
the risk of visiting North Korea given his
association with their group, which is still
remembered with keen hatred in the North.
Others were amazed that Pyongyang still
considered Newman a threat.
As you can imagine this has been a very
difcult ordeal for us as a family, and partic-
ularly for him, Newmans son Jeff Newman
said in a statement read outside his home in
Pasadena Friday night, adding that they will
say more about this unusual journey after
Newman has rested.
Newmans release comes as U.S. Vice
President Joe Biden visit to the region
brought him to Seoul. Biden said Saturday
that he welcomed the release and said he
talked by phone with Newman in Beijing.
Local vet Merrill Newman returns home
who actively restore and maintain their prop-
erty.
The Vollers house is the third property in
the city that has been deemed historic since
the city adopted the resolution in 1993.
We didnt buy the house with the desire to
undertake the project; but once wed been liv-
ing here a while, well whatever house you
live in kind of grows on you and, it just
seemed like the right thing to do, the right
thing for the house, Skinner said.
Although Skinners grandmother lived in a
historically registered home, he said it was-
nt until he and his wife moved in that they
became motivated to delve into the local his-
tory. He and his wife started from scratch and,
after digging through microlm records of
property taxes from the 1890s, old maps and
documents describing the sale of the proper-
t y, they began to develop a narrative,
Skinner said. One of the interesting histori-
cal points they uncovered was that the right-
ful owner was a woman, which was unusual
for that time period, Skinner said.
Just the fact that the original property
owner is Amelia Vollers rather than her hus-
band, I dont know how common that was in
1891. Wed love to sit down and spend an
afternoon with Amelia Vollers and ask her all
sorts of questions, Skinner said.
Amelia Vollers bought the property in
1889 and completed her home in 1891, three
years before the city was incorporated,
according to Skinners and McDaniels
National Register of Historic Places applica-
tion.
When the railroad reached San Mateo in
1863, wealthy San Franciscans were begin-
ning to move further along the Peninsula
with the ability to commute to work. In
1901, Vollers sold 15 feet of her property to
the Southern Pacic Railway and, along with
purchases from other property owners, the
railway was able to lay a second set of tracks
and offer more frequent train service, accord-
ing to the application.
The house was identied as individually
eligible for listing on the national register
in San Mateos 1990 General Plan update.
Throughout the years, the house was
remodeled and improvements such as gas and
electric features were installed, Skinner said.
Today, the front of the home still retains
most of the eras style elements and is in
good shape, however the back of the house
was redone in the 1950s and they would like
to begin to restore it back to an original
appearance, Skinner said.
But if you thought making modern
improvements to a home were costly, the
resources it takes to locate authentic items,
have them refurbished and installed by a con-
tractor familiar with working on historic
properties is nancially tolling, Skinner
said.
Now that the city has approved their appli-
cation, it will be sent to the County
Assessors Office for review, said Art
Henriques, senior contract planner for the
citys Community Development
Department. The owner of a property who
qualies under the Mills Act can save between
40 percent and 60 percent on property taxes,
according to a staff report. Because this is a
single-family residence, the city doesnt
miss out on much property tax revenue,
Henriques said. What the program really
does is encourage people whose properties
need extra care to invest in it, Henriques said.
Its a way of encouraging people to main-
tain their older homes, because older homes
can sometimes need more tender loving care.
With the state Mills Act program, owners can
save a little in taxes every year and put that
money back into their homes, Henriques
said.
There are city, state and national obliga-
tions an owner must abide by to have their
property considered historic and Skinner and
McDaniel have laid out a thorough plan,
Henriques said.
Skinner and McDaniel have an extensive
list of refurbishments they would like to
address over the next 10
years. Their proposal includes
a wide variety of items to
refurbish or replace with more
authentic accoutrements; from large projects
like removing the modern tiles and restoring
the original wood oors to ne details like
replacing the modern door hinges with
antique era appropriate ones, according to
the application.
Skinner and McDaniel have conducted a lot
of research to get to the point where they are
today, Henriques said. Their application is
still being processed and will be sent to the
county and the state before it can be sent to
the national registry, Henriques said. But part
of San Mateos character and history is repre-
sented in these houses and its worth main-
taining, Henriques said.
San Mateo has a number of wonderful
older structures that are certainly an asset and
that the community can be proud of,
Henriques said. Both the property owners
and community at large benet in xing up
and maintaining these older homes because
they add value to the neighborhood and com-
munity.

SAN FRANCISCO The startup is
housed in a garage-like space in San
Franciscos tech-heavy South of Market
neighborhood, but it isnt like most of its
neighbors that develop software, websites
and mobile-phone apps. Its mission is to
nd plant replacements for eggs.
Inside, research chefs bake cookies and
cakes, whip up batches of avored mayon-
naise and pan-fry omelets and French toast
all without eggs.
Funded by prominent Silicon Valley
investors and Microsoft founder Bill Gates,
Hampton Creek Foods seeks to disrupt a
global egg industry that backers say wastes
energy, pollutes the environment, causes
disease outbreaks and connes chickens to
tiny spaces.
The company, which just started selling
its rst product Just Mayo mayonnaise
at Whole Foods Markets, is part of a new
generation of so-called food-tech ventures
that aim to change the way we eat.
Theres nothing to indicate that this will
be a trend that will end anytime soon, said
Anand Sanwal, CEO of CB Insights, a New
York rm that tracks venture capital invest-
ment. Sustainability and challenges to the
food supply are pretty fundamental issues.
Venture capital rms, which invest heavily
in early-stage technology companies,
poured nearly $350 million into food-related
startups last year, compared with less than
$50 million in 2008, according to the rm.
Plant-based alternatives to eggs, poultry
and other meat could be good for the envi-
ronment because it could reduce consumption
of meat, which requires large amounts of land,
water and crops to produce, backers say.
It could also benefit peoples health,
especially in heavy meat-eating countries
like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of dis-
eases such as avian u, they say.
The biggest challenge is that people
who consume a lot of meat really like meat,
and to convince them to try something dif-
ferent may be extremely difficult, said
Claire Kremen, faculty co-director of the
Berkeley Food Institute at the University of
California, Berkeley.
The American Egg Board, which repre-
sents U.S. producers, said eggs cant be
replaced.
Our customers have said theyre not
interested in egg substitutes. They want
real, natural eggs with their familiar ingre-
dients, Mitch Kanter, executive director of
the board-funded Egg Nutrition Center, said
in a statement.
The industry has reduced its water use and
greenhouse gas emissions, and hens are liv-
ing longer due to better health and nutri-
tion, he said.
Hampton Creeks quest to replace the
ubiquitous chicken egg is also backed by
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and Khosla
Ventures, a venture capital fund started by
Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod
Khosla.
In its food lab, biochemists grind up
beans and peer through microscopes to
study their molecular structure, looking for
plants that can fulll the culinary functions
of eggs. So far, the company has analyzed
some 1,500 types of plants from more than
60 countries.
Food-tech startups aim to replace eggs and chicken
Weather cold, but not
enough to damage crops
From Los Angeles to San Francisco, peo-
ple awoke to cold, sometimes near-freezing
temperatures Sunday, but could take solace
in the fact that their weather was not nearly
as bad as that brought by the brutal storms
dumping ice, wind and snow on much of the
rest of the country.
In Californias fertile Central Valley,
farmers expressed gratitude that although
temperatures fell into the freezing range
overnight they did not go low enough to
damage the citrus crop.
Although temperatures dropped into the
20s, farmers were able to protect their crops
with wind machines.
Field reports indicate that if there is dam-
age to the valleys orange crop, it will be
minuscule, California Citrus Mutual said in
a statement released Sunday.
Citrus ofcials noted that temperatures
had been forecast to be even colder.
Meanwhile, overnight lows in Los
Angeles and surrounding areas were in the
high 30s, with highs reaching the 50s at the
beaches and low 60s inland.
Thats cold by Southern California stan-
dards, but skies were sunny, as they were
across almost all of the state.
In the San Gabriel Mountains, the back
road connecting the Antelope Valley to the
San Gabriel Valley was reopened Sunday
after being closed because of snow and ice
earlier in the week. Authorities warned trav-
elers that there is still ice on the roads at
elevations of 6,000 feet or more, however.
The unseasonably cold temperatures were
expected to continue for at least the next
day, with an overnight frost advisory issued
for LAs surrounding valleys, where temper-
atures were expected to fall into the 30s
again.

WASHINGTON Barring uncharacteris-
tically swift work by Congress, more than a
million victims of the recession will lose
long-term unemployment benets over the
holidays, the price of milk could shoot up
in late winter and government payments
might fall sharply for doctors who treat
Medicare patients.
Theres more much more as lawmak-
ers grasp the tail end of a dog of a year.
Federal payments to Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands will begin shrinking, at
least temporarily, on Jan. 1. Tax breaks will
expire temporarily for millions of people
in states without an income tax, and also for
the relatively few Americans who own race-
horses.
They are routine deadlines gone unmet in
a year more likely to be remembered for a
tea party-inspired partial government shut-
down, the stalling of President Barack
Obamas agenda, repeated failed Republican
attempts to eviscerate the health care law
and a successful move by Senate Democrats
to limit opposition to White House judicial
nominees.
The blame game transcends all.
Republicans have made good faith, seri-
ous efforts to Senate Democrats to resolve
differences on year-end issues, House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said recent-
l y. When will they learn to say yes t o
common ground?
The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy
Pelosi of California, attacked Republicans
for opposing an increase in the minimum
wage, voting to cut $40 billion out of
food stamps, and seeking reductions in
school money and college aid for low-
income families.
I mean, how unconscionable can that
be? she asked at a meeting scripted to
build support for extending unemploy-
ment benefits.
A much-ballyhooed year-end stab at
bipartisanship is designed chiefly to ease
the impact of across-the-board spending
cuts that resulted from an earlier episode of
gridlock.
Even a compromise proba-
bly would face strong oppo-
sition from tea party-aligned
conservatives in the House
whose tactics have opened a
deep divide within the GOP.
Whatever the deal might
be, Milton Wolf, a tea party-backed pri-
mary challenger to Republican Sen. Pat
Roberts in Kansas, is against it.
It will raise spending levels by billions
of dollars and continue to provide funding
for Obamacare, he said in a statement.
Hes right that the health care law would
survive because most Republicans have no
interest in reprising a partial government
shutdown that sent the partys approval
ratings plummeting this fall.
But there is no deal yet, and officials in
both parties say Rep. Paul Ryan of
Wisconsin, the chief Republican negotia-
tor, is insisting that any eventual agree-
ment push decits lower than they would be
if across-the-board cuts were left untouched.

PHILADELPHIA Apowerful storm that
crept across the country dumped a mix of
snow, freezing rain and sleet on the Mid-
Atlantic region and headed northeast
Sunday, turning NFL playing fields in
Pennsylvania into winter wonderlands,
threatening as much as a foot of snow in
Delaware and New Jersey and raising con-
cerns about a messy morning commute.
The storm forced the cancellation of thou-
sands of ights across the U.S. and slowed
trafc on roads, leading to a number of acci-
dents, including a fatal crash on the
Pennsylvania Turnpike near Morgantown
that led to a series of fender-benders involv-
ing 50 cars that stranded some motorists for
up to seven hours. More than two dozen
vehicles were involved in another series of
crashes on nearby Interstate 78.
What was forecast in the Philadelphia
area to be a tame storm system with about
an inch of snow gradually changing over to
rain mushroomed into a full-blown snow-
storm that snarled mid-afternoon traffic
along Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania from
the Delaware to New Jersey state lines.
Paul Jones, 24, a youth hockey coach
from Warminster in the Philadelphia sub-
urbs, was on his way to a game in Lancaster
when he got stuck along with his ancee,
another coach and three players in a
major backup on the turnpike.
The roadway was snow-covered, slick,
Jones said in an interview from the car,
where he was a passenger and had been at a
standstill for more than an hour.
People are in and out of their vehicles,
he said. Kids are having a snowball ght
on the side of the road, making snow
angels, people are walking their dogs.
The National Weather Service said the low
pressure system from North Carolina north
to New England was being fed by distur-
bances from the southwest and moist air off
the Atlantic.
The forecast called for the wintry mix to
continue through Sunday, turning to rain
early Monday. Total snow accumulation in
some sections of southeastern
Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New
Jersey could reach 9 to 11 inches, while
other areas could see as little as an inch or
2, said Valerie Meola, meteorologist with
the National Weather Service in Mount
Holly, N.J.
The snow fell so heavily in Philadelphia
on Sunday that yard markers at Lincoln
Financial Field where the Eagles beat the
Detroit Lions were completely obscured.
It was almost as bad in Pittsburgh, where the
snow intensied after the opening kickoff.
Philadelphia fan Dave Hamilton, of
Ivyland, layered up for the game, wearing an
Eagles shirt topped with an Eagles sweat-
shirt and Eagles winter coat.
Twenty-seven years Ive been a season-
ticket holder, Ive never seen snow at the
game like this, he said. It just kept coming
down. But we are all having fun out there.
The tracking website Flightaware.com
estimates more than 2,000 ights were can-
celled nationwide as of Sunday afternoon
and more than 6,000 ights were delayed.
That follows two days of similarly difcult
travel conditions.
Philadelphia International Airport had a
temporary ground stop Sunday afternoon
with snow totals around 4 to 6 inches.
Spokeswoman Stacey Jackson said a num-
ber of passengers were expected to remain
in the airport overnight since area hotels
had been full for several days. She said staff
would hand out pillows and blankets to trav-
elers to make them feel at home even
though they are not.
Air passengers in the Washington-area
experienced increasing delays as the sea-
sons first real snowstorm set in. The
Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority said many flights had been
delayed at Dulles International and Ronald
Reagan Washington National airports.
Virginia, parts of West Virginia and the
metropolitan Washington, D.C., area
braced for blackouts under steady freezing
rain, wet snow and sleet. Parts of northwest
and southwest Virginia and southern West
Virginia were getting snow, while sleet and
freezing rain prevailed west and north of
Richmond.
In Maryland, a chain-reaction accident on
Interstate 81 in Washington County
involving more than 20 vehicles delayed
snow removal efforts for hours. The high-
way was closed for more than three hours
after a tractor-trailer ran into the median to
avoid cars that had spun out. It was hit by
another tractor-trailer that overturned and
spilled its load. Several other tractor-trail-
ers ran off the road and jackknifed as their
drivers tried to avoid the crash.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa In
death, Nelson Mandela unified
South Africans of all races and
backgrounds Sunday on a day of
prayer for the global statesman
from a vaulted cathedral with
hymns and incense to a rural, hill-
top church with goat-skin drums
and barefoot dancing.
Mandela was remembered in old
bedrocks of resistance to white
domination as well as former bas-
tions of loyalty to apartheid.
May his long walk to freedom
be enjoyed and realized in our time
by all of us, worshippers said in a
prayer at the majestic St. Georges
Cathedral in Cape Town, where the
first white settlers arrived cen-
turies ago aboard European ships.
South Africas reflection on
Mandelas astonishing life was a
prelude to a massive memorial in a
Johannesburg stadium Tuesday
that will draw world leaders and
luminaries. They will gather to
mourn, but also to salute the
achievements of the prisoner who
became president and an emblem
of humanitys best instincts.
The extended farewell a bit-
tersweet mix of grief and celebra-
tion ends Dec. 15, when
Mandela is to be buried in his rural
hometown of Qunu in Eastern
Cape province.
The anti-apartheid campaigner
wanted to die in those modest, tra-
ditional surroundings; instead, he
died Thursday at age 95 in his home
in an exclusive Johannesburg area.
He was surrounded by family after
months of a debilitating illness
that required the constant care of a
team of doctors.
Family friend Bantu Holomisa
told The Associated Press that
Mandela wasnt on life support in
his nal hours. He appeared to be
sleeping calmly but it was obvi-
ous that he was nally succumb-
ing, added Holomisa, who said he
saw Mandela about two hours
before his death.
Ive seen people who are on
their last hours and I could sense
that he is now giving up, said
Holomisa, who is the leader of the
United Democratic Movement in
parliament.
You could see it is not Madiba
anymore, Holomisa added, using
Mandelas clan name.
The government and Mandelas
family have revealed few details
about Mandelas death. Ahmed
Kathrada, who was sentenced to
life in prison with Mandela in
1964, said he was informed short-
ly before Mandelas death that his
old friend had little time left.
Kathrada said Graca Machel,
Mandelas wife, conveyed the
message to him through another
person that Mandela will be leav-
ing us that night and the doctors
have said, Anytime.
The death still came as a shock
to many South Africans, so accus-
tomed to the enduring presence of
the monumental fighter, even
when he retired from public life
years ago and became increasing-
ly frail.
He was more than just an indi-
vidual soul. He was the exposition
of the African spirit of generosi-
t y, said the Rev. Michael Weeder,
dean of St. Georges Cathedral.
But he cautioned that the coun-
try still has so much to do.
The strength of the new South
Africa will be measured in the dis-
tance that the poor and the mar-
ginalized travel from the periph-
ery to the center of our society,
Weeder said.

KIEV, Ukraine Hundreds of
thousands of protesters poured into
the streets of Ukraines capital on
Sunday, toppling a statue of former
Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin and
blockading key government build-
ings in an escalating standoff with
the president over the future of the
country.
The biggest demonstration in the
former Soviet republic since
Ukraines pro-democracy Orange
Revolution in 2004 led the govern-
ment to re back. It announced an
investigation of opposition leaders
for an alleged attempt to seize
power and warned the demonstra-
tors they could face criminal
charges.
The West pressed for a peaceful
settlement.
Hundreds of thousands of
Ukrainians ooded the center of
Kiev, the capital, to demand
President Viktor Yanukovychs
ouster after he ditched ties with the
European Union in favor of Russia
and sent police to break up an earli-
er protest in the nearly three-week
standoff.
Ukraine is tired of Yanukovych.
We need new rules. We need to com-
pletely change those in power, said
protester Kostyantyn Meselyuk,
42. Europe can help us.
Packing Independence Square as
far as the eye could see, Ukrainians
waving EU ags sang the national
anthem and shouted Resignation!
and Down with the gang! in a ref-
erence to Yanukovychs regime.
I am convinced that after these
events, dictatorship will never sur-
vive in our country, world boxing
champion and top opposition
leader Vitali Klitschko told
reporters. People will not tolerate
when they are beaten, when their
mouths are shut, when their princi-
ples and values are ignored.
As darkness fell, the conict
escalated further with protesters
blockading key government build-
ings in Kiev with cars, barricades
and tents.
The protests have had an anti-
Russian component because Russia
had worked aggressively to derail
the EU deal with threats of trade
retaliation against Ukraine.
About half a mile (1 kilometer)
from the main square, one group of
anti-government protesters top-
pled the citys landmark statue of
Lenin and decapitated it Sunday
evening.
Protesters then took turns beat-
ing on the torso of the fallen statue,
while others lined up to collect a
piece of the stone. The crowd chant-
ed Glory to Ukraine!
Goodbye, Communist legacy,
Andriy Shevchenko, an opposition
lawmaker, wrote on Twitter.
The demonstrations erupted last
month after Yanukovych shelved a
long-planned treaty with the 28-
nation European Union to focus on
ties with Russia. They were also
galvanized by police violence and
fears that Yanukovych was on the
verge of bringing his country into a
Russian-led economic alliance,
which critics say could end
Ukraines sovereignty.
Its not just a simple revolu-
tion, Oleh Tyahnybok, an opposi-
tion leader with the national
Svoboda party, told the crowd in a
ery speech from a giant stage.
Its a revolution of dignity.

OPINION 9
Mandela hypocrisy
Editor,
As the world celebrates the life and
legacy of Nelson Mandela, some
things should be made clear.
Everything that is said and done for
him by the West is based on the huge
feeling of shame and guilt about what
happend to him and his people. The
reason is that America knew about
Apartheid in the 60s, the 70s and
the 80s and never did anything about
it. It wasnt until Artists Against
Apartheid, formed by Stevie Van Zant
of Bruce Springsteens E Street Band
in 1985, that pressure was brought to
our government to enact a change.
Mandela fought against racial separa-
tion started by the English in South
Africa. After the Sharpesville
Massacre of 1960, his organization,
the African National Congress (ANC),
started a long campaign of bombings
and assasinations around South
Africa. He was arrested as a terrorist
in 1962 with the help of the
American CIAand considered such by
every Western nation. The ANC was
considered a terrorist group until
2008. Some people tried to color the
record by saying he was convicted of
sabotage and conspiracy (another way
of saying terrorism). All of a sudden,
in the late 1980s, the U.S. govern-
ment changed its mind about Nelson
Mandela. This is similar to what it did
about Moammar Gadha, who blew a
U.S. airliner out of the sky in 1988
and killed 250 innocent people.
Then, he got visited by Condoleeza
Rice, who said, His record against
terrorism is excellent.
Mandela thanked Gadha and Iran
for help during his darkest hours.
This, while U.S. president Bill
Clinton stood beside him at a press
conference in the 1990s. So, if
Nelson Mandelas struggle is so
respected now, then other organiza-
tions in the world ghting for similar
causes should be respected as well,
like the struggle for freedom in North
Ireland, which also started peacefully.

Mom-and-pop lumber yards
Editor,
This week we were told we will
soon lose a small independent lumber
yard (Palo Alto Lumber) in Redwood
City. I am the third generation owner
of a 75-year-old single location inde-
pendent lumber yard. We have a fourth
generation working here now. I have
worked here most of my life for 50
years.
Palo Alto Lumber is much like my
business in that it is a family-run
business. We know our customers
names and they know us. We are like
family to many or our customers. If
you have never been to a business
like this, the clock is ticking. Once
upon a time, the Bay Area was full of
small lumber yards like this. But now
the number is dwindling due to numer-
ous circumstances. The Great
Recession, the advent of big-box
stores (Lowes and The Home Depot),
retirement, etc. are just a few of the
reasons these family type lumber
yards are going away.
If you have never been to a lumber
yard of this type, you are missing
out. You cannot buy this kind of
experience online. These are busi-
nesses which are most likely in your
neighborhood, which enables you to
buy local. What they give back to
your neighborhood as far as commu-
nity service is priceless.
If these small lumber yards go away
(that appears to be the trend), we will
be in big trouble. No matter how big
Home Depot and Lowes are, there are
a lot of goods and services they can-
not provide. Sponsor your small lum-
ber yard and hardware stores while
they still exist.

Mandela and Obama
Editor,
Nelson Mandela, who spent one-
third of his life as a political prisoner
in racist South Africa, later used his
eloquence and his stature to heal that
nation and bring together its people.
Barack Obama, who spent most of his
life in the privileged, elitist schools
of Hawaii and the Ivy League, sadly,
it seems, has used his eloquence and
his stature to do just the opposite.

Letters to the editor
The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C.
P
ublic health menaces originat-
ing in such disparate places as
Asian slums and American
hospitals are proving very difcult to
eradicate even though they kill tens
of thousands of victims a year.
Obamacare isnt the only health
care issue that needs attention.
The Haitian cholera epidemic that
has killed nearly 9,000 and sickened
715,000 in Haiti and the Dominican
Republic since it broke out in 2010
has now spread to Mexico, and it
could possibly cross the border into
the United States.
Evidence of the disease has also
been found in Cuba, Chile, Venezuela,
Italy, Germany and The Netherlands.
That epidemic has its origins in
Bangladesh and was very likely trans-
mitted to Haiti by a United Nations
peacekeeper from Nepal billeted at a
camp where sewage wastes spilled
into streams used as water supply by
Haitians. The U.N. is being sued in a
U.S. federal court case seeking nan-
cial compensation for victims.
Cholera can spread rapidly in coun-
tries with poor sanitation. The last
time it reached Mexico, in 1992, it
was not eradicated until 2002. That
time the epidemic was stopped at the
U.S.-Mexico border. But the United
States might not be so fortunate this
time. Likening cholera to the plague,
Ebola and pandemic inuenza, Dr.
Edward Ryan of Massachusetts
General Hospital told National Public
Radio, It is one of the ones that tests
the (public health) system.
Unfortunately, a recently developed
vaccine against cholera is not widely
available.
Another threat comes from drug-
resistant superbugs, bacteria that
have evolved immunity from avail-
able antibiotics.
The federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention reported in
September that more than 2 million
Americans are infected by these bacte-
ria every year and that they cause
23,000 deaths. It announced that
three of these bugs were particularly
frightening, and said that nding
cures should be considered urgent.
Solutions must be found to these
mounting menaces.
The administration and a divided
Congress should be paying attention
to the problem, and providing sup-
port to public health and research
agencies, as needed.
Battling the bad-news bugs Right turns
on red lights
A
friend was recently riding on Fifth Avenue in down-
town San Mateo when a car made a right-hand turn
on a red light and knocked him off his bike. The
driver, in a rush, didnt bother to see if his path was clear.
For those few seconds of saved time, the driver caused the
injured cyclist months of pain, hospitalization, surgery and
probably years of lost mobility.
We all take those red light turns as a right and not a
responsibility. I have been guilty myself of a couple of
close calls both as a careless driver and as an almost
knocked-down pedestrian. Now when I cross the street and
someone has the legal right to make a turn on a red light or
at a stop sign, I wait until I make sure the driver sees me.
Especially at this time of year when everyone seems in a
rush to shop, to travel, to get to and from work, its a good
idea to observe some red light and stop sign etiquette.
***
To make the long trip on Highway 101 to Southern
California less tedious, we borrowed three audiobooks from
the San Mateo library. Two were mysteries but the third,
The Hellhound of Wall
Street, by Michael Perino,
an account of the 1933
Senate hearings which put
Wall Street on trial for the
Great Crash, was by far the
most riveting. It was the
story of Ferdinand Pecoras
examination of Wall Streets
leading bankers which
exposed nancial abuses
such as selling worthless
bonds, manipulating stock
prices and excessive com-
pensation and bonuses
awarded to its executives for
peddling shoddy securities
to the American public.
Sounded all too familiar, it hurt. But what was different
was that the hearing began under a Republican president,
Herbert Hoover in the last days of his presidency, and that the
Republican chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency was a progressive, Peter Norbeck from South
Dakota. Norbeck was well aware of the pain inicted on farm-
ers in his home state during the Depression and he was not
afraid to support a vigorous investigation. He was aided by
fellow progressive Republican James Couzens of Michigan.
Pecora, though mostly forgotten today, was a hero to the many
who had lost their lifes savings and their jobs because of the
actions of National City Bank and other nancial institutions.
Pecora was born in Sicily, Italy, the son of a factory work-
er. Through hard work, he became one of New Yorks top
prosecuting attorneys. Pecora relentlessly grilled the most
famous names in nance and exposed a stock market manip-
ulated by speculators at the expense of small investors
Pecora showed that Albert Wiggin of Chase and Charles
Mitchell of National City had shorted Chase shares during
the crash, proting from falling prices. He also revealed
that Mitchell and top ofcers at National City had helped
themselves to $2.4 million in interest-free loans from the
banks coffers to ease them through the crash. National City
had also palmed off bad loans by packing them into securi-
ties and selling them to unsuspecting investors.
The hearing resulted in new laws and regulations aimed at
preventing a Depression-size calamity from befalling the
country again. What few anticipated was how short-lived
those laws and regulations would be. The abuses highlighted
by the Pecora Commission are similar to the abuses that led
to the recent nancial meltdown. But unlike the Pecora com-
mission, Congress has been reluctant to investigate what
went wrong. No Wall Street executives have been questioned
for days at a time by a skilled interrogator such as Pecora.

Sad to hear about the passing of Frances Nelson, daughter
of David Bohannon, and the owner of the Hillsdale
Shopping Center. Frances was the very opposite of an
absentee owner. She was very interested and involved in
what was happening in San Mateo, attended many council
and committee meetings, and gave generously to local
charities. She was a dynamic force in the community and
will be missed. Fortunately, her legacy, the shopping cen-
ter, has a robust future despite the shelving of recent
expansion plans. These included a new Target store and a
luxury movie (where seats are reserved and food and drink
can be ordered and served while you watch the movie). The
reason: Target is feeling overextended. It already has a suc-
cessful store in San Mateo at the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center and plans for a new store in Palo Alto have also
been put on hold. Lets hope the theater is still in the
works.

BUSINESS 10
By Michael Gormley
ALBANY, N.Y. A federal
bankruptcy courts decision in
Detroit last week putting that
citys constitutionally protected
public pension on the table for
cuts cracks the door open for pen-
sion reductions in New York.
The concern among unions is
that the assurance that New
Yorks public workers have oper-
ated under since 1938 that pen-
sions shall not be diminished or
impaired could now be threat-
ened by local governments fight-
ing off insolvency.
Its a turning point. ... What
has been sacred pensions
are not sacred anymore, said
Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner,
who has been a leader in seeking
action to save New Yorks dis-
tressed municipalities from
insolvency. That has so far been
avoided through higher taxes and
layoffs and reducing services.
The Detroit decision could give
struggling municipalities lever-
age in negotiating other conces-
sions to avoid bankruptcy court.
Miner said Albany where
politicians campaigns benefit
greatly from organized labors
money, volunteers and votes
will also have to take notice. She
and some other local leaders have
long sought far more action from
Albany, including relief from
unfunded, state-mandated pro-
grams.
Now, inaction could drive a
municipality to bankruptcy for
relief and be worse for unions.
State Comptroller Thomas
DiNapoli has determined at least
23 cities, counties and towns
from Niagara Falls to Nassau
County are significantly or mod-
erately stressed. Seventeen oth-
ers from Erie County to the
Adirondacks town of Newcomb
are susceptible to stress.
In November, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo signed a law to allow
Rockland County to borrow $96
million to address its deficit,
even as county taxes rise to help
meet the shortfall.
While municipal bankruptcy
has never happened in New York,
it is clearly not beyond the realm
of possibility, said Peter Baynes
of the New York Conference of
Mayors. He said the state must
help more because the problem
bleeds beyond city lines.
The stressed New York munici-
palities share many of the same
pressures as Detroit: Aging com-
munities losing population,
leaving diminished tax bases
strapped by a legacy of growing
health care and pension costs
from historically large public
workforces. The result has driven
away employers and young New
Yorkers.
For some, the judges decision
to make Detroits pension fair
game came as no surprise. They
saw it happen 40 years ago, and it
helped save New York City from
bankruptcy.
With New York City facing
default, United Federation of
Teachers union President Albert
Shanker met with Gov. Hugh
Carey in the apartment of Richard
Ravitch, who Carey brought in to
prevent the citys bankruptcy.
They agreed pensions would have
to be on the table to negotiate a
survival short of that.
The reality that entering bank-
ruptcy would end the constitu-
tional protection of pensions
was critical ... we never would
have gotten the unions, said
Ravitch, who later served as lieu-
tenant governor. He and former
Federal Reserve Chairman Paul
Volcker issued a nonpartisan task
force report in 2012 that said
states are grappling with long-
term budget problems, including
pension costs.
Unions representing nearly 2
million public workers and
retirees statewide, most with pen-
sions of $20,000 to $43,000 a
year, say the Detroit decision is
cruel, unfair and unnecessary in
New York.
This was a ruling that should
send chills through every work-
ing American, said Stephen
Madarasz of the Civil Service
Employees Association union,
which represents 265,000 mem-
bers. It really suggests that any
semblance of the social compact
is dead.
Madarasz said he fears the rul-
ing will be used at the negotiat-
ing table as leverage by
unscrupulous politicians.
They will probably do that at
their own peril, he said.
Illinois has already trimmed
some retiree benefits, and
Stockton, Calif., has cut the cost
of retiree health care.
This should remind them of
what Hugh Carey was reminding
city workers 40 years ago, said
E.J. McMahon of the Empire
Center for Public Policy, a fiscal-
ly conservative think tank. That
all bets are off.
Detroit ruling opens threat to N.Y. worker pensions
By Tom Hays
NEW YORK The last time
Morton Chalek visited Bernard
Madoffs ofce, the then-trusted
investment adviser gave him the
customary warm welcome.
Hey, Mort, come on over,
Chalek recalled Madoff saying
before giving him more good
news about his portfolio.
The World War II veteran saw no
risk investing with the affable
Madoff. But two months after that
last meeting, on Dec. 11, 2008, the
headlines told him hed been had.
With the fth anniversary of the
exposure of Madoffs massive
Ponzi scheme approaching,
Chalek lives with a disdain for
Madoff that gnaws at him daily.
Hes among a legion of former
investors still struggling to move
on after seeing their life savings
go up in ames.
Its frustrating as hell, believe
me, the 90-year-old great-grand-
father and native New Yorker said
in a recent
interview at his
M a n h a t t a n
apartment.
The man
Chalek sarcas-
tically refers to
as good old
B e r n i e
revealed to the
FBI that his
rm was a Ponzi scheme of epic
proportions. Account statements
for thousands of clients showing
$60 billion in assets Chaleks
account stood at $2.3 million
were ction.
Of the roughly $17.5 billion in
principal that was real, most of it
was gone. Authorities say it was
paid out as fake prots or raided by
Madoffs family and cronies.
Acourt-appointed trustee has so
far recovered more than $9.5 bil-
lion to redistribute to burned
clients through an ongoing
claims process. Victims who
invested through third-party
feeder funds recently became eli-
gible to make claims for an addi-
tional $2.35 billion collected
through forfeitures, including
funds from Madoffs wife, Ruth.
The victims have watched
Madoff get a 150-year prison term
in Butner, N.C., his brother and
business partner, Peter, sent away
for 10 years and five former
employees go on trial on charges
they were in on the scheme. The
trial, which began in October,
resumes Monday.
Despite the recovery effort and
criminal prosecutions, some 5-
year-old wounds havent healed. A
judge received several anguished
letters from former investors before
the sentencing of Peter Madoff in
December 2012, including an
unusual appeal by a Madoff in-law.
Robert Roman, the husband of
Ruth Madoffs sister, wrote that
they, too, were victims of the
fraud. But he also sought mercy for
the younger sibling of the now-
vilied con man.
Peter Madoffs fear of his
brothers domination and back-
yard bullying, personally wit-
nessed in real time by me, should
not have prevailed, he wrote. But
he added, My family will not cast
one stone for that failure.
Chalek also wrote the court to
vent his spleen over the Madoff
asco. In his letter, he described
standing in line to enlist in the
military after Pearl Harbor and y-
ing 23 combat missions as a U.S.
airman in Europe.
Once home from the war, Chalek
pursued the American dream: He
started a grocery on Long Island
and got hired by an advertising
agency in Manhattan that he ended
up buying. He sold the business
late in life at a price that he thought
would take care of him in retire-
ment and keep his family nancial-
ly secure when he was gone.
In the early 2000s, Chalek met
Madoff, who was a golng buddy
of a friend of his fathers. Given
Madoffs on-paper returns, the
chance to invest was too good to
pass up.
It was always beautiful, he
said. He was always the easiest
guy to do business with. ... It went
on like this for years.
Since the fraud was exposed,
Chalek says he hasnt been repaid
one penny. The trustee has deemed
him a net winner meaning he
and his family took out more from
their Madoff account than was put
in a determination hes disput-
ing in bankruptcy court.
Chalek now gets by on Social
Security, veterans benets and the
companionship of retired educator
Fran Reiss, a close friend who
moved in with him after his wife
died about a decade ago.
Reiss, 79, also lost her savings
in the Madoff scheme but has tried
to keep a sense of humor about it.
She recounted how in the after-
math of Madoffs arrest, she and a
friend spotted Madoffs wife, Ruth
by then, recognizable from a
wave of news stories walking
on a Manhattan street in an expen-
sive-looking leather jacket.
Thats some coat, the friend
said.
I know, Reiss responded. Im
the one who bought it for her.
Madoff fraud still stings ex-clients 5 years later

San Francisco 49ers silence Seattle Seahawks
USATODAY SPORTS
Frank Gore goes on a 51-yard run on the game-winning drive for the 49ers.
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Frank Gore
saw a huge hole with the clock
ticking down and his team trail-
ing, and went for it with every-
thing he had.
Maybe not a season-saving 51-
yard burst, but darn close to it.
The San Francisco 49ers are far
from ready to hand over their two-
year division reign and certain-
ly not on their home eld, where
they rarely lose against the NFC
West.
Phil Dawson kicked a 22-yard
eld goal with 26 seconds remain-
ing and the Niners held off the
Seahawks 19-17 on Sunday, deny-
ing Seattle a chance to clinch the
division at Candlestick Park.
Were playing for our lives,
wideout Anquan Boldin said.
Were playing playoff football
right now. Its win or go home.
Gore broke for his big gain with
just more than four minutes left,
sparking the key 11-play, 76-yard
drive that helped the 49ers (9-4)
stop the playoff-bound Seahawks
(11-2) from grabbing away the
West in San Francisco.
Dawsons fourth eld goal gave
him 20 successful attempts in a
row, a franchise record topping
Joe Nedneys 18 consecutive
kicks in 2006-07.
Russell Wilson threw a 39-yard
touchdown pass to Luke Willson
and Marshawn Lynch ran for an
11-yard score for Seattle, denied a
franchise-best sixth road victory
in its fth straight loss at The
Stick.
I dont know if it was their
Super Bowl, but they played a
great game, Seahawks defensive
end Red Bryant said.
The 49ers are unbeaten at home
against the West since losing to
the Seahawks on Oct. 26, 2008.

Menlo seemed to be in complete
control Saturday against Francis
Parker.
The Nor Cal champion Knights got
their feet on the ground early in the
state championship game at Santiago
Canyon College by winning Game 1,
then taking a seemingly insurmount-
able six-point lead to force game-
point in Game 2.
Then it all collapsed.
Francis Parker rallied from behind to
win Game 2 en route to rolling through
three consecutive sets to capture its
second straight California
Interscholastic Federation champi-
onship, and the teams eighth in
school history 21-25, 30-28, 25-
15, 25-16.
We were up 24-18 in Game 2, and
then things just fell apart, Menlo
head coach Steve Cavella said.
Up until that point, Menlo (32-6)
was enjoying its typical well-balanced
success. The Knights tabbed 25 digs in
the rst set with the defensive pres-
ence of libero Melissa Cairo, outside
hitter Maddie Huber, and defensive
specialist Jessica Houghton.
But it was Menlo middle blocker
Morgan Dressel who shined early on
both sides of the ball. The senior
totaled 10 match kills, four blocks,
and a .400 hitting percentage. Dressel
paced the attack in Game 1, in which
Menlo red 15 set kills.
The success carried into Game 2.
With the set deadlocked at 11-11 ,
Menlo generated a go-ahead point
with its patented uidity a perfect
backcourt dig by Cairo to put the ball
right at net for junior setter Elisa
Merten, who in turn put one of her 41
match sets right on the mark for an Air
Jordan-esque left-side kill by Huber.
The point gave Menlo a 12-11 advan-
tage. Houghton then helped extend the
lead with back-to-back aces.
I felt like, at that point, we were
serving the right people and putting a
good amount of pressure on them,
Cavella said. And then, from that
point, we just kind of got stuck and
either we couldnt get a kill, we could-
nt get a good pass it just didnt
seem, just for that one point that we
needed, it seemed we couldnt get it.
Indeed, Parker (29-5) looked rejuve-
nated after rallying through seven
straight Menlo set points to force
overtime. The Lancers thrived with
clutch front-row play by outside hitter
Michaela Dews and setter Jenn
Wineholt, who kept Menlos hitters in
check late in Game 2. In overtime,
Parker nally capped the set with a 12-
4 run to even the match a 1-1.
At the point where we lost Game 2,
that just red up Francis Parker a lot,
and was kind of emotionally deating
for our team, Cavella said. The rst
two games, I think we were ourselves.
Then the last two (games), I feel like
we maybe struggled a little bit to focus
on the present and [on] what we needed
to do right now to win, versus what
just happened in Game 2. And it was
compounded by the fact that Game 3
didnt go very well either.
Parker got out to a substantial lead
in Game 3, fueled by a big service run
by the hot hand of Wineholt. With a
stunned Menlo team still trying to
recuperate on the other side of the
court, Lancers sophomore Slen Gallop
red a left-side kill to end it, giving
Parker a 2-1 match lead.
In Game 4, Wineholt went on anoth-
er big service run to help Parker to a 5-
0 lead, before junior Claire Nussbaum
tabbed four service points to extend
the lead to 10-1. And with Menlo out
of system, Parker put the pedal to the
metal to cruise to victory.
I think everybody was a little dis-
appointed about not winning,
Cavella said. At the same time, I
think everybody was proud about what
we accomplished this season. Its not
easy to make it to a state champi-
onship, and I think the girls were
obviously disappointed that they did-
nt win [Saturday]. But they played
hard and did a good job. And I think
given some more time, theyll be able
to look back on their season with
some pride.
Menlo has a lot to be proud of. In
winning its fifth Nor Cal champi-
onship last Tuesday, the Princeton-
bound senior and West Bay Athletic
League MVP Huber surpassed the 300-
kill plateau, nishing with 306 kills
on the season. With opposite hitter
Lida Vandermeers team-high 12 kills
Saturday, she totaled 286 kills.
Dressel tabbed 10 kills Saturday to
surpass the 200-kill plateau, nishing
her senior season with 207 kills and a
team-best 89 blocks. Cairo totaled
523 digs on the year and Merten pro-
duced 1,087 assists.
Whats more, the 2013 Menlo team
leaves a legacy of having played with
charisma and exuberance stemming
not only from its players sheer love
of the game, but also from the team-
mates obvious love of playing togeth-
er.
Theyre a focused group, but
theyre also laid back and like to play
loose, Cavella said. Theyre a team,
but theyre also a group of good
friends.
And the group of good friends will
be remembered as one of the greatest
teams in Menlo history.
Menlo volleyball falls short
of first state championship
PASADENA Michigan State and Stanford have been
selected for the Rose Bowls centennial.
The No. 4 Spartans will face the fth-ranked Cardinal on
Jan. 1 in the 100th edition of the Rose Bowl game, pitting
two venerable programs in Pasadenas traditional Midwest-
West Coast intersectional matchup.
Michigan State (12-1) upset Ohio State in the Big Ten
championship game on Saturday to earn its rst trip to
Pasadena since Jan. 1, 1988, when the Spartans beat USC
20-17.
Stanford (11-2) is back in Pasadena for the second
straight season after trouncing Arizona State in the Pac-12
title game on Saturday. The powerful Cardinal held off
Wisconsin 20-14 last season for the schools rst Rose
Bowl victory in 40 years.
Florida St-Auburn title game to usher out BCS era
As college football prepares for the final Bowl
Championship Series, featuring a Florida State-Auburn
championship game, its easy to see why the coming four-
team playoff wont solve all the postseason problems.
Heck, we might just miss the BCS. Maybe?
It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida
State (13-0) was the only team to get through the regular
season unbeaten, and the Seminoles did it in dominating
fashion. Auburn (12-1) won the Southeastern Conference,
and among the teams with imperfect records the Tigers
resume is best.
The pairings become ofcial Sunday night when the nal
BCS standings came out, but theres no question about 1
and 2. Itll be the Noles and Tigers at the Rose Bowl on
Jan. 6 for the national championship.
In the other marquee bowls:
Alabama will play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.
Clemson will play Ohio State in the Orange Bowl.
Baylor will play UCF in the Fiesta Bowl.

The scuttlebutt before kickoff of the
Central Coast Section Division IV football
championship game Saturday night was that
the winner was rumored to be in line for the
CIF Division III Northern California bowl
game and one win away from the
California state championship title game.
Following Sacred Heart Preps 56-21 dis-
mantling of Pacic Grove, Gators coach
Peter Lavarato was asked about playing in
the Nor Cal title game.
Id love to play another game, Lavarato
said.
He and his Gators will get their chance.
Sacred Heart Prep, along with CCS Open
Division champion Serra, became the rst
two San Mateo County teams to be chosen
to play in the Nor Cal championship game.
Serra (10-2) will play Del Oro-Loomis (12-
2) in the Division I title game, while the
Gators (12-2) will face El Cerrito (12-2), the
North Coast Section Division III champion.
The winner of the Nor Cal championship
games in Divisions I, II, III and IVwill play
their Southern California counterparts in
the state title game. The teams that play in
the regional games are selected by a 16-
member panel, which is charged with

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Dennis
Allen was irked by several failures in his
Oakland Raiders latest
defeat: a slow start,
turnovers and shaky spe-
cial teams.
The biggest culprit was
the defense, especially in
the second half when the
Raiders tried to mount a
comeback in the New
York Jets 37-27 victory
Sunday.
Unfortunately, every
time that we got ourselves back in the ball-
game by going down and scoring, Allen
said, defensively, we couldnt make it hold
up.
Aweek after being benched, rookie Geno
Smith threw a touchdown pass and ran for
another score as the Jets (6-7) set a season
high for points and stopped a three-game
skid against the leaky Raiders defense.
Matt McGloin threw two touchdown pass-
es for the Raiders (4-9) and fullback Marcel
Reece, starting because Oakland was down
three injured running backs, had a 63-yard
touchdown run.
Oakland has lost three straight overall,
and 13 in a row in games played in the
Eastern time zone.
Today is as bad as we played this whole
season, safety Charles Woodson said. It
was really embarrassing to be part of it. We
looked like the Bad News Bears out there. I
do want to give a lot of credit to our offense.
They never stopped ghting and really gave
us a chance to still be in the game.
After falling behind 20-3, Oakland got on
the scoreboard right away in the second half
as Reece zipped up the middle for a 63-yard
touchdown. The Jets came right back as
Smith ran for an 8-yard score.
McGloin connected with Rod Streater on a
48-yard touchdown pass on a ball threaded
between Ed Reed and Antonio Cromartie,
who smacked into each other that made it
27-17 in the third quarter.
As an offense we settled in, made some
adjustments at halftime, which was good to
see, McGloin said. We played well in the
second half and competed.
But Chris Ivory blasted into the end zone
from 15 yards, slipping out of three tackle
attempts and dragging a fourth Raiders
defender over the goal line for a 37-20 lead.
The play was set up by Smiths 32-yard
scramble.
Nick Folk kicked three eld goals for New
York and Antonio Allen blocked a punt and
returned it for a score to help the Jets avoid
their rst four-game losing streak under Rex
Ryan.
Man, we needed that in the worst way,
Ryan said, to say the least.
Smith ended a miserable stretch that
included getting benched last week by
throwing his rst touchdown pass since
Week 7. He nished 16 of 25 for 219 yards
with an interception, and ran ve times for
50 yards.
While not eliminated, the Raiders will
need to sweep the nal three games, and get
a lot of help, to make the playoffs.
Weve got some tough guys on this team
and I dont think guys will quit playing
regardless of where were at as a team,
Woodson said.
With Oakland trailing 10-0, Terrelle Pryor
came in at quarterback on the Raiders third
offensive series, a planned entrance to help
offset the Raiders lack of running backs
with Darren McFadden, Rashad Jennings
and Jeremy Stewart all inactive with
injuries.
We wanted to get him in early in the
game and then evaluate it and see how it
went after that, Allen said.
Pryor led a drive capped by a 41-yard eld
goal by Janikowski.
Then McGloin returned and, on third-and-
9 from the 3, Reed got his 62nd career inter-
ception and rst as a Jet to lead to a eld
goal.
Allen blocked Marquette Kings punt,
recovered it and returned it for a touchdown
to put New York ahead 20-3.

(scoring) support on the board.
The 29 carries tied a season high for
Segre, who also carried the ball 29
times in the Gators 35-12 win over
Seaside in the CCS opener. But the 357
yards was easily a season if not
career high.
Segre knew his workload would
increase in the championship game as
his running mate Ricky Grau, who has
rushed for just shy of 1,0000 yards
this season, did not play on offense
because his left hand was in a bulky
cast.
I knew Id have to step up, Segre
said.
It was like we were running a sin-
gle-back offense, said SHP coach
Peter Lavorato, whose teams are
known for spreading the ball around to
several runners every game.
[Saturday], Segre was getting the
ball. We kept [the offense] more sim-
ple this week than we have (previous-
ly during the season).
All told, SHP racked up 450 yards of
offense, with all but 29 yards coming
on the ground. Matt Odell and Ben
Burr-Kirven combined for 62 yards and
a touchdown on ve carries.
We feel like we can run the ball on
anybody, Lavorato said. We wanted
to keep the ball away from their
(Pacic Groves) offense.
Segre did the bulk of his damage in
the first half, carrying the ball 18
times for 267 yards and four touch-
downs as the Gators built a 21-0 before
the Pacic Grove offense could nd its
groove offensively.
After forcing the Breakers to punt on
the rst drive of the game, SHP wasted
little time in taking a 7-0 lead. After
picking up an initial rst down, the
Gators faced second-and-four at their
own 43 before Segre took a handoff.
He bobbed and weaved his way through
the wash at the line of scrimmage,
bounced it to the left sideline before
bulling his way into the end zone from
ve yards out for a 57-yard touchdown
run.
After Ben Burr-Kirven picked off a
Pacic Grove pass, Segre went to work
again, this time scoring on a 49-yard
run. He appeared to be stopped just
past the line of scrimmage and after a
stumble, regained his footing and
bolted away from the defense for a 14-
0 SHP lead.
After forcing another Breakers
punt, Segre struck again. He gained 65
yards during a Gators 71-yard scoring
drive, capping it with his third touch-
down of the half from 15 yards out for
a 21-0 SHP lead with 10:47 to play in
the second quarter.
Pacific Grove finally got on the
board following a SHP fumble, but the
Gators responded with Segres fourth
touchdown of the half. His 17-yard run
capped an eight-play, 55-yard drive.
Segre went untouched, completely
freezing a defender at the 10-yard line
with a head and shoulder shake.
Pacic Grove found the end zone
again on the nal play of the half to
trail 28-14 at halftime.
At halftime, I didnt believe it,
Segre said. [A performance like that]
only happens to me in video games.
The Breakers did a better job of con-
taining Segre in the second half, as he
only had scoring runs of 10 and 32
yards, but the rest of the SHP offense,
as well as the defense, left its mark.
Burr-Kirven bolted into the end zone
from 23 yards on the Gators rst pos-
session of the third quarter to put them
up 35-14, but the Breakers responded
with a long scoring drive to stay in the
game.
Add in a sack and Burr-Kirven had a
game that would have been on center
stage if not for Segres star turn.
[Ben Burr-Kirven] is the best high
school football player Ive ever
coached, Lavorato said.
But a pair of touchdowns in less than
a minute put the game on ice for the
Gators. First, Segre capped a six-play,
69-yard drive with a 10-yard run a
score set up by a Mason Randall-to-
Andrew Daschbach 39-yard catch and
run.
On Pacics Groves ensuing posses-
sion, SHPs Andrew Robinson stepped
in front of a pass and returned it 55
yards for a pick-6 score to put the
Gators up 49-21 with 10:39 to play.
It was another overall strong per-
formance from the Gators defense,
which held Pacic Grove to 298 yards,
a team that came into the champi-
onship averaging more than 450 yards
per game. The Gators also picked off
three passes JR Hardy sealed the
win with an interception on the nal
play of the game to go along with
the six sacks and bone-jarring hits all
game long.
Were good on defense, Lavorato
said in the understatement of the
night.
Segre capped his magical night with
a 32-yard romp with just under four
minutes to play.
Our (offensive) line did really
well, Segre said. The holes were
huge.
SHP
In an emotionally fueled afternoon of missed chances
and costly penalties, this rivalry game more than lived up
to the hype.
Enjoy it? Not the word I would use. Its like going to the
dentist chair for 3 1/2 hours and getting a root canal,
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. These games are only for
the tough.
Eric Wright, who briey left the game with a head injury,
intercepted a last-ditch deep pass by Wilson with 9 sec-
onds left to seal it.
The two young quarterbacks nished with nearly the
same stats. Wilson went 15 of 25 for 199 yards and a
touchdown with one interception, while counterpart Colin
Kaepernick threw for 175 yards and completed 15 of his 29
passes with a TD and an interception.
Vernon Davis caught an 8-yard touchdown pass just
before halftime to give San Francisco some momentum.
After a home rout of New Orleans on Monday night, the
Seahawks were trying to make it two mammoth wins over
NFC powers in seven days. They hurt themselves several
times down the stretch.
Golden Tate helped put the Seahawks ahead midway
through the fourth quarter with a 38-yard punt return.
Wilson then hit Jermaine Kearse for a 14-yard gain and
rst down from the 24. But on third down from the 13,
Wilson was forced to throw out of bounds under pressure.
Seattle settled for Steven Hauschkas 31-yard eld goal
that stayed just inside the left upright with 6:20 remain-
i ng.
While Lynch went over 1,000 yards rushing for the third
straight season and fth in his eight-year career, he slowed
down in the second half.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.

ST. PAUL, Minn. Josh
Harding made 37 saves in another
strong home outing, and the
Minnesota Wild beat the San Jose
Sharks 3-1 on Sunday night
despite recording only 13 shots.
Zach Parise scored twice once
into an empty net and Mikko
Koivu added a goal for the Wild,
who have won three of four.
Patrick Marleau scored with
1:41 left for San Jose, which went
1-3 on a four-game trip. The
Sharks, who have lost three in a
row in regulation for the rst time
this season, are 0-5-1 in their last
six games in Minnesota.
Antti Niemi made 10 saves.
Parise and Koivu scored second-
period goals to give Minnesota a
2-0 lead. Parise pushed the Wilds
edge back to two goals when he
scored at 19:54.
Harding, who improved to 13-1
at home, is 16-4-3 overall. He
entered the game with an NHL-best
1.52 goals-against average, and
he moved into a second-place tie
with Niemi and Pittsburghs Marc-
Andre Fleury for most wins.
It was the second straight game
Minnesota allowed a high number
of shots. The Wild were outshot
41-20 in a 4-0 loss at Columbus
on Friday.
Harding didnt play in that
game, and he was more than up to
the task against the Sharks. He
was at his best in the second peri-
od, stopping 21 shots, including
quickly getting his glove up to rob
Joe Pavelski on a slap shot from
the left circle. The Sharks had just
six shots in the third period.
Two days after Sharks coach
Todd McLellan questioned his
teams energy level following a 5-
3 loss in Carolina, San Jose came
out more aggressive.
The Sharks got the puck deep in
the offensive end and outshot
Minnesota 11-5 in the rst period.
Despite Harding giving up a num-
ber of prime rebounds, the Sharks
couldnt score.
However, a rebound led to
Parises rst goal early in the sec-
ond period.
With Jason Pominville about to
crash into him, Niemi blocked a
slap shot from Marco Scandella,
but the rebound was picked up by
Parise in front. He quickly shifted
the puck to his backhand and put a
shot into the empty net.
Koivu made it 2-0 a little more
than four minutes later. He
received a drop pass from Jared
Spurgeon just inside the San Jose
blue line, cut to his left, and beat
Niemi with a wrist shot on the
stick side.
Niemi was pulled for an extra
skater with 2:15 to play, and
Marleau got the Sharks on the
board by squeezing a rebound
between Harding and the left post.

DATEBOOK 19
A
dopting a pet as a gift for some-
one else has long been discour-
aged or forbidden by many
humane societies and SPCAs. The fear is
that the pet is more likely to be returned,
like an ugly sweater, or the complete rst
season of Duck Dynasty. Of course, no
one studied this it was assumed. The
one extensive study I know of that did
study this concept found the opposite:
pets given as gifts are less likely to be
returned. Still, some shelters wont allow
any adoptions the week before Christmas.
But PHS/SPCAsays this month can be the
absolute best time to bring a new pet into
your home. Parents have time off from
work and kids are home from school, mak-
ing this an ideal time to bond with a new
pet. If someone walks into our center and
asks if we adopt out pets as gifts, our
response is, Yes, we are open to that, but
please tell me more about your thoughts
and the gift recipient. Our adoption staff
use their judgment and look at each adop-
tion individually. Some situations
given the pet and potential adopter may
be ne in terms of a gift, while others will
be inappropriate. In the end, staff can
deny this request when they feel its plac-
ing an animal in a bad situation. If folks
are wavering between gifting a pet or not,
well recommend an adoption gift certi-
cate or, for something more fun, buying
an item from our gift shop like a collar, or
treats, wrapping the item and including a
card explaining that you will take the gift
recipient to PHS/SPCAto nd the pet of
their dreams. Lastly, if you are still look-
ing for the perfect holiday card, visit our
Center for Compassion from noon to 4
p.m., Saturday, Dec., 14: its the nal
chance to have your pet pose with Santa.

NEW YORK In its second
weekend at the box office, the
Disney animated tale Frozen
finally cooled off The Hunger
Games: Catching Fire, while the
weeks lone new wide-release Out
of the Furnace wasnt a match for
either blockbuster.
According to studio estimates
Sunday, Frozen led the multi-
plexes with a haul of $31.6 mil-
lion over the weekend, taking
over the top spot from Catching
Fire. Lionsgates Hunger
Games sequel had topped the box
ofce for the last two weeks, but
slid to second with $27 million in
its third week of release.
Relativity Medias steel-town
drama Out of the Furnace, star-
ring Christian Bale and Casey
Afeck, posed no challenge for
the bigger blockbuster holdovers.
It opened with $5.3 million, good
enough for third place on whats
typically a quiet early December
weekend, sandwiched between
Thanksgiving and the coming
holiday season releases.
But it was an excellent weekend
for Hollywood, with box ofce up
16.9 percent over the same week-
end last year. Opening in a limited
release of four theaters, the Coen
brothers folk tale Inside Llewyn
Davis also had one of the years
highest per-theater averages of
$100,500 for CBS Films.
With only a handful of
moviegoing weeks left in the
year, the strong weekend boosts
the years chances of exceeding
2012s record box office. This
year may surpass last years $10.8
billion domestic box ofce, said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak.
Were running just slightly
ahead of last years record pace,
said Dergarabedian. Its going to
be really close.
Dergarabedian expects next
weeks big release, Warner Bros.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug, to open in the neighbor-
hood of Peter Jacksons first
Hobbit film, An Unexpected
Journey, which debuted with
$84.6 million last year. This
weekends new releases were mini-
mal since The Hobbit is expect-
ed to dominate the marketplace
next weekend.
Both Frozen and Catching
Fire continued to show legs
around the world. Catching Fire
added $44.3 million internation-
ally, bringing its global cumula-
tive total to $673.4 million over
four weeks. With many millions
still to come, Catching Fire has
already almost equaled the $691.2
million worldwide of the 2012
original.
Frozen, too, has found strong
business abroad. It added $30.6
million internationally over the
weekend.
In its second week of limited
release, the Weinstein Co.s
biopic Mandela: Long Walk to
Freedom, starring Idris Elba,
continued to play in four theaters,
earning an average of $19,400
per-theater. The Weinstein Co. has
said its not altering the movies
release following the death of
South African leader Nelson
Mandela on Thursday. Mandela
opens wide on Christmas.

on the southern skirts of Half Moon Bay. In
the small community of Montara, the post
ofce building was used for the U.S. Army
officers quarters. South of the Montara
Lighthouse, the U.S. Navy established a
gunnery school and radio station with a
number of station houses and ofces. Air
Force airplanes would y a short distance
from the shore with targets behind them and
artillery re would be directed from these
facilities. In the Moss Beach area, they
built a radio station as well as numerous
other embedded bunkers.
Driving south on Devils Slide, one can
still see these steps that led to the re con-
trol stations and observation bunkers built
on the hill to the right (Devils Slide
Military Reservation). Originally, there
were 198 wooden stairs to the facility at the
top of the hill. They were later made out of
cement. Three men manned the bunkers and
they had to carry their daily rations of food
and water to the top every day, as there was
no electricity, running water or food avail-
able. As one continues south from Devils
Slide, you can see an isolated bunker on the
right that was purchased in 1963 by Alfred
Wiebe. This bunker was originally embed-
ded in a hill, but Mr. Wiebe planned to build
a restaurant on the site and he began tearing
down the hill for a building. However, after
removing the rock around the bunker, he
could not obtain the water and electricity to
continue the project. The isolated bunker is
now a silent sentinel of the second world
war.
To accomplish the target practice and air
reconnaissance for the gunnery school, an
aireld was built in Moss Beach area in
1942. TBY aircraft was used to patrol the
coastline and pull the wooden targets a
short distance from the shore for the Army
personnel to practice shooting. After World
War II, the Half Moon Bay Airport was
returned to civilian use and use as a standby
airport for the San Francisco International
Airport. After the war, the airstrip was used
for local ying and drag racing, as well as
storage for a number of vintage airplanes.
There is a small caf near the landing eld
that serves breakfast and lunch and once a
year local residents host an event called the
Dream Machines where members of the
community exhibit vintage automobiles,
farming machines and airplanes for a few
days in April.
Anumber of bunkers were built along the
length of the city of Pacica. At the top of a
hill to the east, at Milagra Ridge, an obser-
vation bunker and a re control station for
guns was built. Two 16-inch guns were
being planned for the ridge, but the war
ended before this was completed. In the
1950s and 60s, an underground Nike
bunker was built there. The Nike Hercules
missiles were 42 feet long and were the
main missiles that guarded the West Coast
during the Cold War. These bunkers were
cemented over after the site was deactivated.
Further north up the coast, Fort Funston
was built by the ocean not very far from the
Olympic Golf Club. The cliff gives a beauti-
ful unobstructed view of the ocean, and two
16-inch guns that were made for the USS
Saratoga cruiser were placed there. These
guns have a range of 26 miles. They are
embedded in reinforced concrete structures
that were built around the guns. Today, the
only remains of the bunkers is an observa-
tion deck near the cliff. The area is now a
part of the Golden Gate National Recreation
Area where hang gliders take off from the
cliffs. On weekends, this facility is now a
well-patronized recreation area.

HISTORY
By Todd Richmond
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsins
ultra-liberal capital city is a place
where just about anything goes,
from street parties to naked bike
rides. But city ofcials say a busi-
ness is pushing even Madisons
boundaries by offering, of all
things, hugs.
For $60, customers at the
Snuggle House can spend an hour
hugging, cuddling and spooning
with professional snugglers.
Snugglers contend touching
helps relieve stress. But Madison
ofcials suspect the business is a
front for prostitution and, if its
not, fear snuggling could lead to
sexual assault. Not buying the mes-
sage that the business is all warm
and fuzzy, police have talked open-
ly about conducting a sting opera-
tion at the business, and city attor-
neys are drafting a new ordinance
to regulate snuggling.
Theres no way that (sexual
assault) will not happen, assis-
tant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy
said. No offense to men, but I
dont know any man who wants to
just snuggle.
Snuggle House owner Matthew
Hurtado hasnt responded to multi-
ple requests for an interview. His
attorney, Tim Casper, said in an
interview last month the business
is legitimate and Hurtado has put
precautions in place to protect
clients and employees from each
other.
The concept is obviously a
novel one and you can see where
they (the city) might be a little
skeptical, he said. Could some-
thing happen? Yeah, I suppose. But
theyre taking every precaution.
In recent days, its become
unclear whether or not the house is
still in business. No one answered
the door there Saturday. Aposting
on a Facebook page claiming to be
the Snuggle Houses site said it had
closed, but the page owner would-
nt identify themselves or con-
rm if it was the homes ofcial
site. Neither Hurtado nor Casper
have returned phone and email mes-
sages.
Madisons concern seems to be
deeper than in other cities where
similar businesses have set up
shop as cuddling has grown into a
cottage industry over the past
decade.
Police in Rochester, N.Y., said
theyve had no complaints about
The Snuggery, which offers
overnight cuddle sessions. Be The
Love You Are in Boulder, Colo.,
offers cuddles with Snuggle
Stars. Cuddle Therapy in San
Francisco offers packages that
focus directly with your current
needs around connection, intimacy
and touch, according to its web-
site. Police in San Francisco and
Boulder didnt respond to The APs
inquires about those businesses.
No hugs allowed? Wisconsin targets pro cuddlers

other counties otherwise entitled to
local sales tax revenue from San
Francisco International Airport by
forming a subsidiary to sell fuel from a
single point. In return for only doing
business in Oakland, the city gave the
airline a 65 percent return of statewide
revenue.
In 2005, then-assemblyman Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo,
passed a bill closing the loophole in
2008, handing the approximately $3
million back to San Mateo and San
Francisco counties equally. But between
2003 and 2007, more than $10 million
was redirected from San Mateo County
to Oakland.
During the countys appeal to the
Board of Equalization, the appeals divi-
sion concluded the Oakland ofce was a
sham and was uncertain which, if any,
United employees actually worked
negotiating fuel agreements, Silberman
said.
One example, he said, is that one
employee reportedly negotiated a deal
before even being assigned to the
Oakland ofce.
Silberman said United claims backdat-
ing agreements is standard industry
practice.
If thats accurate, its accurate. But it
did seem odd to us, Silberman said.
United Airlines declined comment,
said Corporate Communications
Director Christen David.
The appeals decision and recommen-
dation concluded the airlines actions
were done solely in the attempt to shift
the local tax to Oakland but that the tax
was incorrectly reported because that
ofce didnt participate in sales.
The Board of Equalization hearing is
just the latest hurdle in the countys
lengthy ght to keep its millions in jet
fuel sales tax funds. While Yees law
ended the deal, the lag time in closing
the loophole was hotly contested by a
handful of county supervisors who felt it
showed cities how to make money in the
time left.
In January 2006, the San Jose City
Council considered an agreement with
American Airlines allowing the compa-
ny to buy its entire statewide jet fuel
supply in the city in return for a sales
tax break. The deal, which offered about
$3 million in additional sales tax rev-
enue for San Jose, failed. The next
month, South San Francisco agreed to
negotiate with Northwest Airlines over
a fuel tank location. The proposal would
have brought $132,000 in jet fuel sales
tax to the city while taking nearly
$500,000 from the county until 2008.
The deal ultimately was not made but the
tank was located in the city with the tax
going to the county. But in September
2007, the Board of Equalization alerted
the county that $996,734 in tax revenue
dating back to the rst quarter of 2003
actually belonged to South San
Francisco. The county disputed the
claim, arguing the facility was actually a
collection of tanks not being used at the
time and that San Francisco
International Airport is located in the
unincorporated area. On Sept. 17, 2008
the Board of Equalization alerted the
county it was reinstating the $996,734
in tax back to San Mateo County and
closing the appeals process.
During this time, the county sued over
the deal but, in 2010, a judge ruled that
the county had no standing because it
had yet to exhaust all avenues for reme-
diation and sent it back to the Board of
Equalization for appeal.

She said she opened the store in
Burlingame originally because it used
to be known for small stores.
I joke that they wouldnt nd your
body for three weeks in Macys, she
said. Burlingame used to be called the
Village. Its not a village anymore, its
a shopping center.
Business will move to online sales
of its specialties, which are classic and
contemporary engraved gifts such as
photo albums, jewelry, pens, baby
gifts and other items once December
wraps up. She and Parodi are also look-
ing for an offsite location to store
goods they will sell online. They are
also exploring looking for a new loca-
tion.
What will Folks do with the extra
time shell have when the store clos-
es?
I have no idea, she said. Its a new
chapter. This is what Ive done for 33
years, six days a week. I put every sin-
gle thing in this store: its my blood,
its my heart, its my soul.
Things have changed since Folks
rst started doing business though.
She recalls people who came into the

outstanding tax debt in September
which paved the way for San Mateo
County to add Moss Beach Park to its
system. In doing so, the county also
absorbs responsibility for approxi-
mately $30,000 in annual operations
and maintenance. Any future capital
improvements will also be the coun-
tys responsibility. The money will
come out of the Parks Department
budget for scal years 2013-2015.
County supervisors Tuesday are
scheduled to approve the agreement
which will add the rst pocket park
to the system which otherwise
includes regional parks.
The park is approximately 26,000
square feet at the intersection of
Etheldore Street and Virginia Avenue in
unincorporated Moss Beach. As one of
only ve parks in the midcoast area and
a popular draw for children, families and
local Boy Scout troops, it is an impor-
tant community center and asset,
County Manager John Maltbie told the
board in a staff report for its meeting.
The nonprofit group Coastside
Preservation and Recreation Inc.
owned Moss Beach Park since 1975
and even constructed a playground in
2004 but hadnt paid taxes in several
years. In April, the board unwittingly
approved the parcel for public auction
to recoup the money owed and devel-
oper Michael OConnell of Pacica
purchased the park at the end of July
for just shy of $100,000.
Once the residents and county real-
ized the park was sold, the supervisors
rescinded the transaction on the basis
that the sale was not in the countys
best interest. The Shenkmans then
donated the tax debt balance.
Once the county acquires the park, it
will install a prefabricated restroom
purchased in 2012 using money from
the Midcoast Park and Recreation Fee
Fund but never positioned.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9
a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 in Board
Chambers, 400 Government Center,

PUBLIC NOTICE
OF INTENT TO CERTIFY THE INITIAL STUDY,
ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
AND APPROVE THE PROJECT
Solar Photovoltaic System Project at Caada College
The San Mateo County Community College District (District) is the Lead Agency for
the Solar Photovoltaic System Project at Caada College. The District has prepared an Initial
Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration finding that, although the proposed project could re-
sult in potentially significant effects on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this
case because mitigating measures will be incorporated into the project description.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15072, the District will file this Notice of Intent
with the San Mateo County Clerk and mail it to all responsible and trustee agencies and to all or-
ganizations and individuals who have requested such notice in writing. Pursuant to Section
15105, the District will also provide the notice of intent by the following means to allow the public
the 20-day review period provided under Section 15105 of the CEQA Guidelines:
Publication at least one time by the San Mateo County Community College District in
the San Mateo Daily Journal, a newspaper of general circulation in the area.
Posting of notice by the San Mateo County Community College District on and off site
in the area where the project is to be located.
Posting on the San Mateo County Community College website (www.smccd.edu).
Project Location: The Solar Photovoltaic System Project at Caada College will be located on
the eastern edge of Caada College campus at 4200 Farm Hill Boulevard, Redwood City, CA
94061. The 3.5-acre project site, which is located on the eastern edge of the main campus
northeast of the soccer field, is largely undeveloped except for a small power house structure at
the far north end and is disturbed from 45 years of stockpiling dirt.
Project Description: The District, which operates Caada College in Redwood City, College of
San Mateo and Skyline College in San Bruno, is planning to install ground-mounted solar panels
on the 3.5-acre project site at Caada College. The approximately 1 megawatt Solar Photovoltaic
System is part of the 2011 Facilities Master Plan for Caada College. The goal of the project is to
utilize available space to produce the maximum annual amount of energy from the allowable ca-
pacity of 1.2 megawatt direct current (MW-DC) solar photovoltaic installation in order to reduce
operating costs. The Solar Photovoltaic System would connect or tie-in to the existing main pow-
er house located at the north end of the project site, and the transmission lines would be installed
in an underground conduit (approximately 3-feet deep) extending down the middle or along the
eastern edge of the site. The project would also include installation of a 6-foot black chain link se-
curity fence around the perimeter of the panels and three 12-foot high poles along the western
side of the site (north end, middle and south end) to support motion-activated, downward-direct-
ed security lights and cameras.
The project is not on any of the lists enumerated in Government Code 65962.5 including, but not
limited to, lists of hazardous waste facilities, land designated as hazardous waste property, and
hazardous waste disposal sites, and the information in the Hazardous Waste and Substances
statement required under subsection (f) of that section.
Public Hearing and Adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration: A public hearing on the Ini-
tial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project has been scheduled on January 8,
2014 at the Board of Trustees meeting, which begins at 6:00 p.m. at 3401 CSM Drive, San Ma-
teo, CA. If, on that date, the SMCCCD Board of Trustees determines, based on a review of the
Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and comments received on the documents, that
there is no substantial evidence that the project would result in a significant environmental im-
pact, the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted.
It should be noted that certification of the Initial Study and adoption of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration by the District Board do not constitute final approval of the Project. If approved, the
project itself would be a separate action at the hearing on January 8.
Document Availability & Review Period: Copies of the Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Dec-
laration will be available at the following locations:
San Mateo County Community College District Chancellors Office, 3401 CSM Drive,
San Mateo, CA 94402
Caada College Presidents Office, 4200 Farm Hill Boulevard, Redwood City, 94063
On the website: http://www.smccd.edu
On Monday, December 9, 2013, the 20-day public review period will begin, and it will end at 5:00
p.m. on Monday, December 30, 2013. Please send your comments to Ms. Barbara Christensen
at the San Mateo County Community College District address shown above or by email to Chris-
tensen@smccd.edu by 5:00 p.m. on December 30, 2013. For further information, please call
Barbara Christensen at 650-574-6510.
