Prices are still sky high for
office rentals along the Peninsula,
according to the latest data from
the commercial real estate compa-
ny Colliers International.
Registering a milestone not
seen since the dot-com days, the
monthly average asking rate per
square foot for office space on the
Peninsula has surpassed the $4
mark; the $4. 10 full service aver-
age asking rate represents a 2. 76
percent increase over the past
quarter. At the close of the third
quarter, leasing activity in San
Mateo County remained strong,
with dramatic rent increases and a
wave of speculative development
not seen in years, according to
Colliers.
I definitely think the rents will
continue to go up probably for at
least next two years because
theres a limited supply for the
better quality spaces, said Amber
Schiada, vice president and direc-
tor of research for Jones Lang
LaSalles Northern California and
Rocky Mountain region.
Another part of the reason rents
are surging is that cloud giant Box
will rent the entire 334, 000-
square-foot building complex at
900 Middlefield Road in Redwood
City, Schiada said. Financial
details of the 12-year lease were
not disclosed but Box will occupy
the first building in the third quar-
ter of 2015 followed by the second
in early 2017. Still, this could
mean developers become inspired
to break ground on large-scale
office construction, according to a
report from Jones Lang LaSalle, a
company that provides commer-
cial real estate services for ten-

County has its

Urban legends and ghosts
stories haunt historic sites
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Halloween is marked by a vari-
ety of meanings; for many its a
time to escape into playing a cos-
tumed part, for others its a time to
remember the dead and for some, it
elicits fear of the supernatural.
San Mateo County has its own
ghoulish ghost stories that have
been passed down through the gen-
erations and are now told as his-
toric urban legends.
Buried alive
Much of the history behind the
Purissima Cemetery that served the
small coastal town south of Half
Moon Bay during the late 1800s
remains a mystery.
No one has been able to identify
who currently retains rights over
the burial site now overgrown with
poison oak and difficult to locate
off of Verde Road.
But one eerie tale that has lasted
through the generations is the leg-
end of a young Purissima boy
whose premature death and exhu-
mation confirmed his parents
worst nightmare.
The story begins sometime in
the 1860s or 70s when a deadly
disease arrived at the small town
that served as a stop for those trav-
eling from Santa Cruz to San
Francisco, said Mitch Postel,
executive director of the San
Mateo County Historical
Association.

Revised Transit
Village design
seeks approval
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A scaled-down Transit Village
proposal that drew praise even
from former critics is back before
the San Carlos Planning
Commission Monday night to fin-
ish out a public hearing and poten-
tially give the plan its seal of
approval.
The Planning Commission start-
ed the design review process earli-
er this month but primarily heard
from those involved in the design
process and a handful of speakers.
Commission Chair David
Silberman left the hearing open so
that more members of the public,
if they wish, can share their
thoughts Monday night before the
commissioners hash out the
design amongst themselves.
The Transit Village, a decade in
the making, is a planned mixed-
use development around the exist-
ing train station between El
Camino Real and the Caltrain
tracks. What was once proposed as
eight buildings up to four stories
each is now six three-story resi-
dential buildings and two two-
story office and retail buildings.
The complex will include 202
rental units, recreational facilities,

Ex-mayor charged
with DUI for crash with teens
MURRIETA Prosecutors say they
have charged a former Southern
California mayor with driving under
the influence after his pickup truck
plowed into a car carrying four teenage
girls when he was still in office.
The Riverside County District
Attorneys office on Thursday filed
one felony count against former
Murrieta mayor Alan Long with
enhancements for each victim of the
crash.
Prosecutors say the 44-year-old was
arrested at the scene two weeks ago
after his pickup truck rear-ended the
girls car. They say his blood alcohol
content the night of the crash was
0. 08 percent.
Long later apologized and stepped
down as mayor.
Long is scheduled to be arraigned on
Dec. 11.
Suspect arrested in
taunting of California officer
MILPITAS Authorities have
arrested the motorcycle rider suspected
of filming and waving off a California
Highway Patrol officer who was trying
to stop him and other riders doing
stunts on a highway.
The CHP says 32-year-old Guruardas
Singh Khalsa, of Brentwood was
arrested Wednesday at his home on
suspicion of being an accessory after
the fact and delaying or obstructing an
officer.
Video of the daytime confrontation
earlier this month on Interstate 680 in
Milpitas shows a rider approach a CHP
officer and motion for him to go away.
The officer pulls ahead, and the
motorcyclist waves goodbye as anoth-
er rider puts a fist in the air.
Retrial in assault case
over stray cat feeding
LOS ANGELES Prosecutors say
they will retry the case of a Los
Angeles firefighter accused of beating
a woman last year in a neighborhood
dispute over the feeding of stray cats.
A jury deadlocked last month on the
felony battery and assault charges
filed against 38-year-old Ian Justin
Eulian. Jurors also said they never
voted on a lesser charge against his
mother.
The case stemmed from a September
2013 altercation arising from a dis-
pute over a neighbors habit of feed-
ing stray cats.
At a hearing Thursday, the prosecu-
tion informed the judge that the case
will be retried.
Missing California
hunter roasted bugs, lizards
MANCHESTER A hunter who
went missing in a remote Northern
California wilderness says he roasted
grasshoppers and lizards during his
seven days in the woods.
Fifty-nine-year-old Dave Stornetta
told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat
after his rescue Tuesday he became sep-
arated from his grown son while track-
ing a deer in a wilderness area in
Trinity County.
The Mendocino County resident
withstood storms that sent trees crash-
ing around him. He curled up with his
dog Maggie at night to keep warm.
Stornetta says he used his lighter to
heat the grasshoppers and lizards
before eating them.
Rescuers suspended their search for
Stornetta on Monday, five days after
he went missing. On Tuesday, a charter
helicopter hired by his wife spotted
his campfire and rescued him.

mate, nor any of their pups stepped
into one.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Over the objections of prosecutors and
the Probation Department, a judge allowed a
convicted flasher to receive mental health
treatment rather than jail for crawling into a
San Mateo apartment building laundry room
and masturbating in front of a woman.
Judge Mark Forcum placed Ignacio
Resendro Martinez, 40, of Daly City, on
three years supervised probation and gave
him credit for time served while in custody
on $150, 000 at the county jail. He also
ordered him to complete a sex offender treat-
ment program and the
Pathways alternative
mental health court.
In February, a 37-year-
old woman told police a
man later identified as
Martinez climbed through
the laundry room window
and began masturbating
in front of her. When the
woman pulled out her
phone, the man fled and
she called police. Police
found him hiding in a storage room of a dif-
ferent building. He was reportedly under the
influence of drugs and had a methampheta-
mine pipe.
Martinez reportedly told arresting officers
he entered the room to steal clothes
hence the robbery charge but testified in
court that he went inside to wash his hands.
In August, Martinez pleaded no contest to
felony indecent exposure but was acquitted
by a judge of residential burglary.
Martinez has a 2005 conviction for inde-
cent exposure. He was sentenced in that case
to a year in jail and five years probation.

and triggered the silent alarm which led
police to wait for the robber when he exit-
ed the bank. All the money was recovered.
In the prior case, Carranza pleaded no
contest to arson for setting a vehicle on

he paid fines at DMV after San Francisco
police towed his vehicle due to an expired
registration but could not get it released.
On April 23, 2012, he filled a bottle with

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Californias grow-
i ng popul at i on and dwi ndl i ng wat er
require up to $500 billion in additional
investment in water in coming decades,
and new state fees for water users could be
one way pay for it, a water plan released
Thursday by the states top water officials
said.
John Laird, California secretary of natu-
ral resources, and Mark Cowin, head of the
wat er resources depart ment , spoke t o
report ers vi a t el ephone t o mark t he
release of the plan, the latest update in
more than a half-century of outlines for
managing Californias water.
The plan looks as far ahead as 2050,
spanning a period when California will be
dealing with everything from shrinking
snowpack, rising seas and encroaching
salinity in waterways to more frequent
droughts under climate change.
The pl an envi si ons growi ng ci t i es
increasingly taking more water, farmers
using less, and water costing more in gen-
eral. It shouldnt be a surprise, Cowin
said, that water is going to cost more for
Californians in the future.
Broadly, the plan calls for greater coor-
dination among state, federal and local
agencies that make decisions affecting
water supplies, for streamlining govern-
ment decision-making on water issues,
and for greater investment, including con-
servation and storage.
Current l y, government s spend about
$20 bi l l i on annual l y on Cal i forni as

WHERE THE READY GET READY
Every Battery For Every Need
By Kristen J. Bender
SAN FRANCISCO The celebration
in San Franciscos streets following the
Giants World Series victory started off
peaceful but quickly turned raucous and
violent, as revelers vandalized police
cars and businesses and pelted officers
with bottles.
Fans initially gathered in the streets
and uncorked champagne, dancing and
hugging strangers after Wednesdays
night win. The 3-2 victory was the
Giants third World Series champi-
onship in five years. That happy spirit
quickly turned to havoc, however.
Four police cars were damaged by graf-
fiti and five others had windows
smashed, Police Chief Greg Suhr said.
Three police officers went to a hospital
with minor injuries. Many more, includ-
ing Suhr, were hit with bottles but were
not badly injured and kept working.
Businesses were tagged with graffiti
but individual damage estimates were
still being compiled Thursday. Suhr said
99.9 percent of the fans were well-
behaved but about 100 near the ballpark
and in the Mission district marred the
party.
To the clowns that came to San
Francisco to act out, I guess you just
dont know what its like to have a good
time without being a jerk, and we had a
lot of them last night, Suhr said.
Amajority of the 40 arrests were for
public drunkenness, but people also
went to jail for assaults, gun possession
and outstanding warrants, Suhr said.

Biden to campaign for
House candidate in San Diego
SAN DIEGO Vice President Joe Biden will campaign
in San Diego for Democrat Scott Peters in one of the
nations most hotly contested congres-
sional races, the Peters campaign said
Thursday.
Biden will kick off the final weekend
of get-out-the-vote efforts on Saturday
morni ng at an Int ernat i onal
Associ at i on of Machi ni st s and
Aerospace Workers office, becoming
the highest-ranking Democrat to visit
the district on Peters behalf. Peters
opponent, Republican Carl DeMaio,
drew House Speaker John Boehner to San Diego for a
fundraiser earlier this month.
Peters, a moderate Democrat and former city councilman
who represents much of San Diegos coast and the suburbs
of Coronado and Poway, is seeking a second term against
DeMaio, also a former city councilman who ran for mayor
in 2012 on a pledge to fix pensions and potholes.
DeMai o, who i s openl y gay, has campai gned for
Congress as a moderate on social issues while battling
allegations of sexual harassment by a former campaign
staffer.
Todd Bosnich, DeMaios former policy director, says he
was sexual l y harassed by DeMai o and was offered
$50, 000 to remain silent. DeMaio says Bosnich was fired
for plagiarizing a report on congressional pensions and
considers him a suspect in a May 27 burglary of his cam-
paign office during which computers were smashed,
phone lines cut and a campaign playbook stolen.
Three firms bid on
second phase of high-speed rail
SACRAMENTO Three firms are bidding to build the
second leg of Californias $68 billion high-speed rail
system, which will run from Fresno to Bakersfield.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority says three
joint construction ventures submitted sealed bids by
Thursdays deadline.
The contract to design and build the second, 60-mile
phase is expected to be worth $1. 5 billion to $2 billion.
But the cost of each of the bids submitted Thursday will be
kept secret while state officials review their technical
merits.
The groups t hat submi t t ed bi ds are:

Efforts to compromise
with Maine nurse stall
By Robert F. Bukaty
FORT KENT, Maine Insisting
she is perfectly healthy, nurse Kaci
Hickox again defied the states
Ebola quarantine Thursday by tak-
ing a bike ride with her boyfriend,
and Maine health authorities strug-
gled to reach a compromise that
would limit her contact with oth-
ers.
Hickox, 33, stepped out of her
home on the remote northern edge
of Maine for the second day in a
row, practically daring authorities
to make good on their threat to go
to court to have her confined
against her will. On Wednesday
evening, she went outside for an
impromptu news conference and
shook a reporters outstretched
hand.
By eveni ng, i t was uncl ear
whether the state had gone to
court or whether there had been
any progress toward ending the
st andoff t hat has become t he
nations most closely watched
clash between personal freedom
and fear of Ebola. The gover-
nors offi ce and Hi ckoxs
lawyers would not comment.
Hickox, who returned to the
U. S. last week from treating Ebola
victims in West Africa as a volun-
teer with Doctors Without
Borders, has been under what
Maine is calling a voluntary quar-
antine at her home in this town of
4, 300 people.
She has rebelled against the
restrictions, saying that her
rights are being violated and that
she is no threat to others because
she has no symptoms. She tested
negative last weekend for Ebola,
though it can take days for the
virus to reach detectable levels.
Her 21-day quarantine the
incubation period for the Ebola
virus is scheduled to end on
Nov. 10.
Gov. Paul LePage said state
attorneys and Hickoxs lawyers
had discussed a scaled-down quar-
antine that would have allowed her
to go for walks, runs and bicycle
rides while preventing her from
venturing into populated public
places or coming within 3 feet of
others.
Around midday, however,
LePage said that the hours of
negotiations had gone nowhere,
and that he was prepared to use the
full extent of his authority to pro-
tect the public.
I was ready and willing and
remain ready and willing to rea-
sonably address the needs of
health care workers meeting
guidelines to assure the public
health is protected, he said.
Hickox stepped into the media
glare when she returned from
Sierra Leone to become subject to
a mandatory quarantine in New
Jersey. After an uproar, she was
released and traveled more than
600 miles to the small town on
the Canadian border where she
lives with her boyfriend.
She said she is following the fed-
eral Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention recommendation
of daily monitoring for fever and
other signs of the disease.
An unmarked state police cruiser
followed Hickox on her hour-long
morning bike ride on trails near
her home, but police could not
take action to detain her without a
court order signed by a judge.

WORLD 7
By Elena Becatoros and Diaa Hadid
SURUC, Turkey A vanguard force of
Iraqi peshmerga troops entered the embat-
tled Syrian border town of Kobani from
Turkey on Thursday, part of a larger group of
150 fighters that the Kurds hope will turn
back an offensive by militants of the
Islamic State group.
The deployment, accompanied by 50
members of the Free Syrian Army, was con-
demned by Syrias government as an act of
Turkish aggression and a blatant violation
of Syrian sovereignty.
The first group of Kurdish fighters crossed
into Syria following heavy overnight clash-
es as Islamic State extremists unsuccessfully
tried to capture the frontier post, the only
gateway in and out of the town.
Kobani is under attack by the militants
from three sides despite weeks of airstrikes
by a U. S. -led coalition.
Mustafa Bali, an activist based in the
town, said the remaining troops will follow
later in installments as a security precaution
because the IS fighters were targeting the
border area.
The first 10 are now with the Peoples
Protection Units and they include doctors
and fighters and the rest are expected to enter
in the coming hours at night, Bali told the
Associated Press. The Peoples Protection
Units, also known as the YPG, are the main
force in predominantly Kurdish regions of
northern Syria.
Other peshmerga forces were assembled in
a facility on the outskirts of the Turkish bor-
der town of Suruc, about 12 kilometers (7
1/2 miles) from the Syrian frontier.
The Kurds have high expectations for the
mission of the peshmerga troops, despite
their low numbers. They are hoping that
some of the more advanced weaponry they
carry with them can help break a stalemate
with the extremists, who outnumber and out-
gun the Kurds.
Activists say there are about 1, 000
Syrian Kurdish fighters and more than
3, 000 jihadis in the Kobani area. Most
civilians fled in the first days of the IS
onslaught.
The ability of the small force to turn the
tide of battle will depend on the effective-
ness of their weapons and the continued
bombardment from the coalition.
The coalition has carried out more than
150 airstrikes against the militants in and
around Kobani, killing hundreds of them and
helping stall their advance. But Syrian
Kurds have pleaded for advanced weapons to
help them gain the upper hand.
The U. S. Central Command said there were
12 airstrikes in Syria, with 10 of those in
the Kobani area since Wednesday. The coali-
tion also is conducting airstrikes on IS posi-
tions in Iraq, where the group controls large
parts of territory.
Islamic State militants launched the attack
on Kobani six weeks ago, capturing dozens
of Kurdish villages in addition to parts of
the border town. More than 200, 000 people
have fled to Turkey and more than 800 peo-
ple have died, activists say.
Small Iraqi peshmerga force enters Syrian town
BAGHDAD The Islamic State group
wanted to send a warning against anyone
who might plot against its rule.
Back when the extremists took over the
northern Iraqi city of Mosul in June, police
Col. Mohammed Hassan was among some
Sunnis in the security forces who surren-
dered, handed over their weapons and
pledged to cut ties with the police. In return,
the militants gave them repentance
badges granting them some safety. But
now, the Islamic State group suspected
Hassan was engaging in activities against
it.
So last week, IS fighters stormed
Hassans house at night. Hassan and his son
fought back, killing three attackers before
they were gunned down. The militants then
hung his mutilated body from a fence for
several days near his home as an example,
according to two residents who witnessed
the battle and were aware of the events lead-
ing up to it. They spoke to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity for fear of
reprisals.
The past few weeks, the Islamic State
group has been hunting down former
policemen and army officers in areas it con-
trols, apparently fearing they might join a
potential internal Sunni uprising against
its rule.
While world attention has been focused
on the battle to fend off the extremists
assault on the town of Kobani across the
border in Syria, the group has killed dozens
of its opponents this month in Iraq. In sev-
eral instances, Sunnis have been lined up in
public squares and gunned down or beheaded
as a warning.

A Palestinian protester fires a homemade weapon toward Israeli security forces during clashes
in east Jerusalem.
By Josef Federan
JERUSALEM Israel closed all access to
Jerusalems most sensitive religious site on
Thursday, a rare move that ratcheted up
already heightened tensions following the
attempted assassination of a prominent
Jewish religious activist and the killing of
his suspected Palestinian assailant by
police.
The Palestinians accused Israel of a decla-
ration of war, deepening a crisis fueled by
failed peace efforts, continued Israeli settle-
ment construction and months of simmering
violence in the holy city. While Israel said it
would reopen the site on Friday, the increas-
ingly religious nature of the unrest risked
igniting further violence.
Both the Israeli and Palestinian leaders
blamed each other for the tensions. Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who
has called for banning Jews from the hilltop
holy site, of inciting the violence.
The international community must stop
its hypocrisy and act against the inciters,
Netanyahu said.
Abbas, meanwhile, said Jerusalem is a red
line that must not be touched. The decision
to close access to the Al Aqsa Mosque com-
pound was a declaration of war that will
lead to further escalation and instability,
his spokesman, Nabil Abu Rdeneh, said.
Abbas made no mention of the attempted
killing of the Jewish activist.

Ad hominem attacks
Editor,
Ah, me. I see Sue Lempert is using the
old rhetorical tricks of the trade (Pesky
propositions column in the Oct. 27 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). If you cant
refute someones facts, attack the person.
Ms. Lempert may not know that a yes
vote is for razing and rebuilding Skylines
theater at a cost of $100 million, about
four times what the San Mateo Performing
Arts Center cost; that a yes vote has $30
million to expand/remodel the 4-year-old
College of San Mateo Athletic Club build-
ing; that $90 million was spent on CSMs
College Center, featuring penthouse suites
for President Mike Claire and top adminis-
trators, costs that came to $650 per square
foot; that almost $50 million went to pay
off faculty housing loans; the list goes on.
Ms. Terners efforts have little to do with
taxation but everything to do with continu-
ally misleading voters and misspending
more than one billion dollars of taxpayer
money. Her website, www. votenoonmea-

Lead poisoning in South City children
Editor,
At a recent event, Tom Carney, code
enforcement ofcer for the city of South
San Francisco, made the following state-
ment: South San Francisco has the high-
est rate of lead poisoning in children in
San Mateo County. Because of my concern
for our childrens health and how it affects
their learning process, I discussed this with
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, who was also
present at the event and heard the state-
ment.
South San Francisco City Manager Mike
Futrells Oct. 30 letter stated that I said
the city government is doing little to pro-
tect children from the dangers of lead-based
paint. This is not true. Mr. Futrell thinks I
was criticizing the citys lead abatement
program I am not. My concern is chil-
drens health, not code enforcement.
Lead poisoning in children is serious as
it has negative physical and mental side
effects, including difculty learning. I urge
parents to ask their doctors to test children
for lead and to share the results with the
county Childrens Health Department.
These tests should be covered by health
insurance plans.

Air travel security
Editor,
On a recent trip to Mexico, our ight
takeoff was delayed because two passengers
forgot their passports. The plane could not
leave until their luggage was taken from
the plane. That made sense and no one
complained. On the return trip we missed
our connecting ight from Phoenix to San
Jose. Even though we were not able to
make the plane on time, our luggage did. It
went on to San Jose without us. We were
told that because the ight was domestic,
not international, the luggage without pas-
sengers was allowed.
Do terrorists only blow up international

Wall Street recidivism
Editor,
Buoyed by the certainty that the Justice
Department would never hold the titans of
Wall Street accountable for their nancial
shenanigans, they are back engaging in
the same dirty business. Just two years
after conducting massive fraud, some of the
worlds biggest banks are now suspected of
a repeat performance. Several large banks
and their hired guns, high-powered consult-
ing rms, are again in the crosshairs of fed-
eral prosecutors.
Several large foreign banks have been
cited for doing business with Iran in viola-
tion of U. S. law, which was enacted out of
deference to Israel which is itself in com-
plete violation of international law. Makes
sense?
Historically, when banks have repeatedly
run afoul of the law, they have paid a small
ne, pocketed huge bonuses and returned to
business as usual, in sharp contrast to the
average small petty criminal. The nes
are tax deductible and regarded as the cost
of doing business.
Prosecutors have traditionally favored
so-called deferred prosecution agreements,
which suspend criminal charges in
exchange for the banks paying a ne and
promising to curtail their criminal behav-
ior. This has enabled a disturbing pattern of
Wall Street recidivism. It is ironic that
when assessing the magnitude of the crimi-
nal behavior, the government outsources
the task to consultants who are often the
banks own customers. In short, the system
is rotten to the core.

Creating affordable
housing opportunities
in San Mateo County
By Steve Blanton
J
urisdictions across San Mateo County
are updating their local general plans
and housing elements and renewing
and/or proposing policies to meet their
Regional Housing Needs
Allocation, or RHNA.
Per state law, these
revised housing elements
throughout San Mateo
County must be adopted
by Jan. 15, 2015.
To that end, the San
Mateo County
Association of Realtors,
or SAMCAR, is a
resource to policy makers and municipal
staffs to help ensure that their respective
housing elements meet the requirements of
state law and adequately reect the communi-
tys need for all housing types affordable
as well as fair market. As an organization,
SAMCAR has long been an advocate for
affordable housing, the protection of private
property rights and representing the inter-
ests of home owners and over 2,700
Realtors and real estate professionals in San
Mateo County.
Every city and county in California must
have a general plan that serves as the guide
to development and land use in that commu-
nity. Every general plan has seven elements,
one of which is the housing element. The
housing element requires local governments
to adequately plan to meet the existing and
future housing needs of all economic seg-
ments of their community. By law, the hous-
ing elements must be updated every eight
years.
How that is achieved, however, is the dif-
ference between encouraging housing pro-
duction and government mandate which
tends to drive up the cost of housing. SAM-
CAR is encouraging each of the cities and
the county to review housing and develop-
ment policies with an eye toward incorporat-
ing incentive programs that have an estab-
lished record of increasing opportunities for
affordable housing versus punitive measures,
which have an equally long record as failed
housing policies.
One example of an incentive program is
the implementation of a Homeownership
Policy. Some years ago, the city of Hayward
discovered that the rate of home ownership
was 51 percent. They established a policy
via their housing element to increase that
rate to 70 percent. In addition to tangible
nancial benets, research has shown that
home ownership brings substantial social
benets for families and neighborhoods. A
few of those benets include home owners
take on a greater responsibility for items
such as home maintenance, lower crime rates
and teenage delinquencies, generating
enhanced social capital and creating a sense
of community
Conversely, punitive measures such as
rent control/rent stabilization (same thing)
have been in force in a number of major
American cities for many decades. In San
Mateo County, it only exists in East Palo
Alto. Perhaps the best known or most egre-
gious examples are Santa Monica, Berkeley,
San Francisco and, of course, New York,
which still retains rent controls from the
temporary price controls imposed during
World War II. But this policy, which was
meant to assist poorer residents, according
to a variety of studies harms far more citi-
zens than it helps, benets the better-off and
limits housing options.
Housing elements represent an opportuni-
ty to increase the ability for residents to live
in the communities in which they work
and theres a right way and wrong way to
achieve that goal.

Big movers
By Matthew Graft
NEW YORK Solid quarterly
results from a range of big companies
helped send the stock market slightly
higher Thursday. The standout was
Visa, whose 10 percent jump helped
tug the Dow Jones industrial average
up nearly 200 points.
Visa, the worlds largest payment-
processing company, turned in quar-
terly earnings late Wednesday that
topped Wall Streets forecasts and
announced plans to spend as much as
$5 billion on buying its own shares.
Visas stock gained $21. 99 to
$236. 65.
For investors, there was plenty of
encouraging news. Before the market
opened, the government said that the
U. S. economy grew at an annual rate
of 3. 5 percent in the three months
ending in September, powered by
more business investment, sales
abroad and the biggest jump in mili-
tary spending in five years.
Its another report that indicates
the economy can stand on its own two
feet, said Peter Cardillo, chief market
economist at Rockwell Global Capital
Management, referring to the govern-
ments estimate of economic growth.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 12. 35 points, or 0. 6 percent,
to close at 1, 994. 65. The Nasdaq com-
posite rose 16. 91 points, or 0. 4 per-
cent, to 4, 566. 14.
The Dow Jones industrial average
surged 221. 11 points, or 1. 3 percent,
to 17, 195. 42. Unlike other market
measures, the Dow weighs its roster of
30 large corporations by their stock
prices rather than by their market
size. That means companies with the
most expensive stocks, such as Visa
and Goldman Sachs, have more power
to drive the average up or down.
The worlds second-largest card-pay-
ment company, MasterCard, said its
third-quarter profit surged as
Americans appeared less hesitant to
use their debit and credit cards. The
results beat Wall Streets expecta-
tions, propelling MasterCards stock
up $7. 14, or 9 percent, to $83. 13.
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist
at S&P Capital IQ, saw a number of
optimistic signs for the market.
Reports that Visa and MasterCard are
handling more transactions could
mean that Americans will be more
likely to open their wallets during the
holiday shopping season. Whats
more, the market is approaching a
stretch that nearly always rewards
investors.
Were entering the best six months
of the year, November through April,
Stovall said. Since World War II, the
market has climbed 94 percent of the
time, for an average gain of 15 per-
cent.
Rising corporate earnings have
helped turn the market higher in recent
weeks. More than half of the S&P
500s members have released their
third-quarter results, and roughly
seven out of 10 have beaten Wall
Streets targets, according to S&P
Capital IQ. Third-quarter earnings are
now on track to increase nearly 7 per-
cent, with health-care companies
reporting the largest profit gains.
BorgWarner, a maker of car parts,
said a slide in the value of foreign cur-
rencies against the dollar will hamper
its results this year. The company,
which operates in 19 countries, cut its
forecast for full-year profits and sales.
BorgWarner slumped $2. 49, or 4 per-
cent, to $54. 37.
In Europe, Frances CAC 40 gained
0. 7 percent and Germanys DAX edged
up 0. 4 percent. Britains FTSE 100
rose 0. 1 percent.
Back in the U. S. , the price of the
10-year Treasury note edged up, and its
yield, which moves in the opposite
direction, slipped to 2. 31 percent
from 2. 32 percent late Wednesday.
Gold lost $26. 30 to settle at
$1, 198. 60 an ounce, silver fell 84
cents to $16. 42 an ounce and copper
fell four cents to $3. 06 a pound.
Big gain in Visa drives Dow average higher

WASHINGTON The U. S. economy
powered its way to a solid annual growth
rate of 3. 5 percent from July through
September, outpacing most of the devel-
oped world and appearing on track to
extend its momentum through this year and
beyond.
The result isnt a fluke.
It turns out the worlds biggest economy
did a lot of things right after the Great
Recession that set it apart from other major
nations. In the view of many economists,
those key decisions, particularly by the
Federal Reserve, appear to be paying off
now.
An improving economy led the Fed on
Wednesday to end its stimulative bond buy-
ing program. Launched during the 2008
financial crisis, it was an unprecedented and
aggressive effort to revive a dormant econo-
my by buying trillions in bonds to reduce
long-term interest rates.
Doug Handler, chief U. S. economist at IHS
Global Insight, credited the Fed and its bond
purchases with helping pull the country out
of the worst downturn since the 1930s.
Its greatest impact was instilling confi-
dence in consumers and the business com-
munity that Fed officials were determined to
do everything they could to stimulate
growth, Handler said. To know you have
the Fed pulling for you instills confidence.
Thursdays government report on the
gross domestic product the economys
total output of goods and services added
to evidence that the Feds efforts have trans-
lated into robust job growth and a recovery
that appears to be solidifying.
The third-quarter expansion was propelled
by solid gains in business investment,
exports and the biggest jump in military
spending in five years. It followed a 4. 6 per-
cent annualized expansion in the second
quarter, which marked a dramatic turnaround
from the first three months of the year, when
a harsh winter depressed activity.
Many economists say theyre confident
that the current October-December quarter
will be another solid one. They also project
that full-year growth for 2015 will hit 3 per-
cent, giving the economy the best annual
performance since 2005, two years before
the Great Recession began.
The economy does appear to be accelerat-
ing of late, said Dan Greenhaus, an analyst
with investment firm BTIG.
Greenhaus added that the GDP report
showed an economy on a sounder footing
today than at any time over the last few
years.
The U. S. landscape stands in contrast to
other big economies of the world.
Japans GDP contracted at an annualized
rate of 7. 1 percent in the April-June quarter.
Germany, Europes traditional growth
engine, risks falling into recession or
growth so weak it holds back the entire euro
currency unions weak recovery.
The French economy posted zero growth
in the first two quarters of the year and has
revised down its growth forecasts for the
year to a paltry 0. 4 percent.
Momentum is decelerating even in China,
which has posted blistering figures in recent
years. Growth in the worlds No. 2 economy
waned to a five-year low of 7. 3 percent in
the third quarter, though the result falls
roughly in line with Chinese leaders plans
for a controlled slowdown.
The U. S. economy is benefiting from a
variety of other factors beyond the Fed. For
one thing, its relatively insulated from
weakness overseas. Exports account for less
than 14 percent of U. S. activity, one of the
lowest such shares in the world.
Strengthening U.S. growth reflects help from Fed
By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim Cooks
declaration that hes proud to be gay,
makes him the highest-profile business
executive in the nation to publicly acknowl-
edge his sexual orientation.
In a country where more major-league ath-
letes have come out than top CEOs, business
leaders and gay-rights advocates said Cooks
disclosure was an important step toward eas-
ing anti-gay stigma in the workplace, par-
ticularly for employees in the many states
where workers can still be fired for being
gay.
Cooks sexual orientation was not a secret
within Apple or in Silicon Valley. The 53-
year-old successor to Steve Jobs led Out
magazines top 50 most powerful people for
three years. But in an
essay published Thursday
by Bloomberg
Businessweek, Cook said
that while he never
denied his sexuality, he
never openly acknowl-
edged it, either. He said
he acted in the hopes that
it could make a difference
to others.
Ive come to realize that my desire for
personal privacy has been holding me back
from doing something more important, he
wrote.
Cook said he considers being gay among
the greatest gifts God has given me because
it has given him both a better understanding
of what it means to be in the minority and
the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in
handy when youre the CEO of Apple.
The news did not shock the stock market,
nor send much of a ripple through Silicon
Valley.
Besides Cook, there are no other openly
gay CEOs in the Fortune 1, 000, even though
statistically, 3. 4 percent of Americans iden-
tify as something other than straight,
according to data from the Centers for
Disease Control. Some executives of major
U. S. corporations who are openly gay at
their companies declined to comment to the
Associated Press.
John Browne, who resigned as British
Petroleum CEO in 2007 after being outed by
a tabloid and who is the author of The Glass
Closet: Why Coming Out Is Good
Business, said Cook has become a role
model and will speed up changes in the cor-
porate world.

LinkedIn reports
3Q loss but sales climb
NEW YORK LinkedIn Corp. posted a
third-quarter loss on Thursday, but its results
were better than expected as revenue grew
sharply, sending shares of the online profes-
sional networking service higher in extended
trading.
The companys guidance for the current
quarter, however, was below Wall Streets
expectations for both profit and revenue.
LinkedIn posted a loss of $4.3 million, or
3 cents per share, in the July-September quar-
ter. That compares with a loss of $3.4 mil-
lion, also 3 cents per share, in the same peri-
od a year earlier. Adjusted earnings of 52 cents
per share beat Wall Streets estimates by 5
cents.
Revenue rose 45 percent, to $568.3 mil-
lion from $393 million. Analysts expected
$557. 6 million, according to Zacks
Investment Research.
Unlike Twitter and Facebook, which make
most of their money from advertising,
LinkedIn relies mainly on its talent solu-
tions business for revenue, charging busi-
nesses and headhunters that use its site to find
job candidates.
Shares of the Mountain View-based compa-
ny rose $3.10 to $206 in extended trading
after the results came out. The stock had
closed at $202.90, down 6.4 percent in 2014.

Watch out, Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division football teams. Here comes
South City.
After starting the season 0-5, the Warriors
have won three straight Ocean Division
games after they dispatched Hillsdale 25-13
Thursday night.
South City (3-0 PAL Ocean, 3-5 overall)
trailed 13-6 at halftime, but outscored
Hillsdale (2-1, 4-3) 19-0 in the second half
to post the win.
These guys have come back from a lot of
adversity, South City coach Jay Oca said of
his team. I totally believed we were a good
football team (during the 0-5 start). We have
all the pieces.
The missing piece in the first half of the
season was running back Eric Kamelamela,
who was academically ineligible when the
season started.
He pulled his grades up and has been a
major force for the Warriors since entering
the lineup three weeks ago. Thursday night,
he was the difference again, rushing for 136
yards and a pair of touchdowns.
All told, the Warriors rushed for 218 yards
and finished with 283 yards of total offense.
Hillsdale, on the other hand, struggled
offensively and when starting quarterback
Brett Wetteland left the game late in the sec-
ond quarter with some kind of head or neck
injury, the Knights task became that much
greater.
Ro Mahanty came in to relieve Wetteland
and had a hard time getting anything going
against the South City defense. Hillsdale
finished the game with 163 yards of offense
121 of which came in the first half.
[The offense] changes a little bit (with
Mahanty in), said Hillsdale coach Mike
Parodi. Ros a great athlete. He has differ-
ent strengths than Brett. Things just didnt
work out.
In the second half, the Warriors took
advantage of pair of Hillsdale turnovers,
turning a fumble and an interception into
touchdowns. After South City punted on its
first possession of the third quarter, the
Warriors got the ball back when Nicholas
Cottros fell on a Hillsdale fumble at the
Hillsdale 34.

Burlingame freshman Halle Martinucci has battled back from injury to hit her stride in the
postseason. The Panthers No. 1 single rolled to a 6-2, 6-2 victory in Thursdays Peninsula
Athletic League finals at Carlmont.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingames No. 1 doubles team of Haley
Shaffer and Christina Monisteri picked a
heck of a time for their first win as a tandem
this year.
Thursdays closely contested Peninsula
Athletic League girls tennis final at
Carlmont between the Panthers and the
Scots came down to the No. 1 doubles
match. After dropping the opening set,
Shaffer and Monisteri clawed back to claim a
3-6, 7-5, 7-5 victory over Carlmonts
Morgan Watson and Cassidy Sobey, giving
the Panthers a 4-3 victory.
With the win, Burlingame earns an auto-
matic bid to the Central Coast Section play-
offs beginning Nov. 11. Menlo-Atherton
also earned a bid, and a bye in the PAL team
tournament, after winning the Bay Division
crown outright. PAL individual playoffs
begin next Tuesday at Burlingame and San
Mateo.
What set the tone for Burlingame, though,
was the return of No. 1 singles player Halle
Martinucci. The freshman sprained her wrist
at the outset of the year, which adversely
affected the Panthers lineup. Burlingame
has still managed to post a 15-7 record thus
far.
Martinucci started her varsity career by
having to wear a splint for three weeks. She
has since received a Cortisone shot.
I was really upset because it is my first
year playing, Martinucci said. I was kind
of bummed because I was friends with all of
[the older varsity players]. So I practiced
with one hand and came to all their matches
to cheer them on.
Martinucci has made an impact since
rejoining the team two weeks ago. She
entered into Thursdays final with a 3-1
record against league opponents, including
a 2-1 record against San Mateo and her old
training partner from RS Tennis Academy,
Aida Lowe.

ALAMEDA Khalil Mack has done just
about everything the Oakland Raiders have
asked of him his rookie season.
He has solidified the run defense with his
ability to fight off blocks and get into the
backfield, pressured quarterbacks consistently
as a pass rusher and forced offenses to alter
their game plans.
The only thing lacking so far from Mack is
something he was supposed to get frequently:
a quarterback sack.
Through seven games,
Mack is still seeking his
first sack despite being
compared to pass rushing
specialist Von Miller when
he was drafted fifth overall
in May.
Its something thats
kind of sitting on my
mind, Mack said. All my
teammates talk about it. It will come soon
enough but even then Im working hard to get
there.
Mack has come awfully close, especially in
recent weeks. He has been credited with 15
quarterback hurries and hits the past three
games, according to Pro Football Focus, and
his 22 pressures for the season are the most
for any player without a sack.
The consistent pressure is bound to lead to
sacks soon enough.
They will come, defensive coordinator
Jason Tarver said. Keep pressuring the heck
out of them, making sure everybody knows
who you are and where is 52 and that stuff will
happen. As long as hes around the ball, were
happy.
While Mack has lacked sacks, he has not
lacked praise. Opposing quarterbacks Carson
Palmer and Brian Hoyer singled him out after
the past two games for his stellar play.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson called
him a spectacular player who was playing like
the defensive rookie of the year heading into
Sundays game against the Seahawks.

No one knows how good the West
Catholic Athletic League volleyball scene is
better than Notre Dame Belmont.
A year ago, the Tigers were winless in
WCAL play. While they still managed a 20-
15 overall record to advance to the Central
Coast Section playoffs, this year started off
with more of an air of destiny. Notre Dame
started the season with an 18-game winning
streak.
Despite Thursdays sweep of Sacred Heart
Prep in nonleague play to close out the reg-
ular season, however, the wear-and-tear of a
long year is starting to show. While the
Tigers prevailed 25-22, 25-20, 25-19, they
held leads of eight points or more in each set
only to see Sacred Heart Prep rally back each
time.
Notre Dame was without opposite hitter
Maggie McDonald, who suffered a mild con-
cussion Wednesday night when she was
struck by a ball in the ear in the Tigers loss
to Valley Christian to close its WCAL regu-
lar-season schedule. But the litany of nag-
ging injuries among Notre Dames players
has become a factor.
You could see it in our play where we start
out (strong) and then we kind of taper off,
Notre Dame head coach Jen Agresti said.
Everyone is tired.
That Sacred Heart Prep was able to make a
match of it was something of a minor mira-
cle, being as its roster has been decimated
by injury. In addition to having lost a pair
of middle blockers for the season, the
Gators star outside hitter Victoria Garrick,
who has been contending with a torn liga-
ment in her thumb, didnt even suit up
Thursday night.
But the looming injuries to McDonald and
Garrick on either side of the net opened the
door for two big performances Thursday.

Kolnes stepped into a starting roll and

ST. PAUL, Minn. Another late push
resulted in a second straight victory for the
Minnesota Wild.
Mikko Koivu and Jason Pominville
scored in the shootout and the Wild beat the
San Jose Sharks 4-3 Thursday night.
Kyle Brodziak scored twice in the third
period and Koivu in the second period for
Minnesota, which for the second straight
game overcame a 3-1 third-period deficit to
win.
The Wild rallied to win 4-3 Tuesday at
Boston, one night after allowing five third-
period goals in a 5-4 loss against the New
York Rangers.
It goes to show that youve got to play a
full game to win, and weve been able to
bounce back the last couple games. We did-
nt get off to the best start, but we hung with
it and found a way, Pominville said.
Joe Thornton, Tommy Wingels and Mirco
Mueller scored for the Sharks, who earned
five of a possible six points on a road trip
that included wins in Anaheim and Colorado.
Antti Niemi made a career-high 43 saves.
After Logan Couture scored in the
shootout for San Jose, Koivu scored on a
backhand to tie it after two rounds.
Pominville scored with a wrist shot in the
third round before Wild goaltender Darcy
Kuemper stopped Patrick Marleau.
Brent Burns nearly won it for San Jose
with 1:10 left in overtime as he charged
down the left side and drove to the net where
he bumped into Kuemper as the puck trickled
toward the net.
However, the net became dislodged before
the puck crossed the line.
I just kind of got pushed into the net so I
really didnt see it. I knew it was in. They
said I pushed the goalie, so I dont know.
Cant say I agree, Burns said.
Minnesota was 0 for 1 on the power play,
to extend its season-opening drought to 27
opportunities with the extra man. The Wild
are the only team without a power-play goal.
With the Sharks leading 2-1 after two peri-
ods, Joe Pavelski and Thornton executed a 2-
on-1 break early in the third period that
ended with Thornton putting a wrist shot
from the left circle over the glove of
Kuemper and just inside the far post.
But Minnesota answered at 5:13 when
Brodziak tipped a shot from Thomas Vanek
behind Niemi to make it 3-2.
The same pair hooked up midway through
the period to tie the game with Vanek send-
ing a pass to Brodziak, a healthy scratch in
five of the Wilds first eight games, charg-
ing down the slot for a tip behind Niemi.
Vanek, who signed a three-year, $19. 5
million contract on July 1, has six assists in
his past five games and seven for the sea-
son. He has yet to score a goal.
Hes an incredible passer, Brodziak said.
Hes got great vision and he sees the ice
very well. I pretty much knew both of those
ones were going to be on my tape.
Mueller scored his first career goal late in
the first period to give San Jose a 1-0 lead.
His centering pass from near the left cor-
ner deflected off the stick of Zach Parise in
the crease and between the pads of Kuemper.
It marked the first time Minnesota has
trailed in four home games.
Wingels made it 2-0 with a power-play
goal at 4:20 of the second before Koivu cut
the deficit in half when he tipped home a
pass from Jason Zucker midway through the
period.
We showed signs of fatigue a little bit,
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. Then
when the fatigue stepped in, we were not
mentally clear on some of the decisions we
made and we fed them.
NOTES: Wild D Jared Spurgeon left the
game in the third period after a check into
the boards. Coach Mike Yeo did not have an
update on his condition. . . . San Jose has
outscored its opponents 14-1 in the first
period. . . . Wild LW Matt Cooke missed the
game with a lingering lower-body injury
that Yeo said is not serious. . . . Minnesota
recalled LW Stephane Veilleux from AHL
Iowa and reassigned D Stu Bickel to Iowa. . . .
Sharks C Barclay Goodrow made his NHL
debut. He was activated Tuesday after injur-
ing his left hand blocking a shot in the final
exhibition game. . . . Wild C Erik Haula
missed his second straight game after taking
a shoulder to the head from the Rangers
John Moore on Monday. Moore was sus-
pended five games for the hit. Yeo said Haula
might return Saturday.

CLEVELAND Carried onto the oor by
an emotional ovation building for years,
LeBron James is back where he began.
Hes home.
Introduced to a deafening roar from
Cleveland fans, James was welcomed back
Thursday night by a city desperate to end a
championship drought thats about to turn 50
years old. James came back to try and end it,
and his journey is underway.
At 8:08 p.m. all was right in Cleveland
again.
That when James, the last starter announced,
walked onto the oor in a Cavs uniform for a
regular season game for the rst time in four
years.
Nearly four months since proclaiming Im
coming home and shifting the NBAs balance
of power, James is again playing in front of
family, friends and the Cleveland fans who had
their hearts broken when he left for Miami four
years ago.
This is a homecoming like no other.
None of us should take this moment for
granted, a relaxed James said following
Clevelands morning shootaround at Quicken
Loans Arena. This is probably one of the
biggest sporting events ever. I dont feel it,
but I know it is.
Acrowd of 20,000-plus fans with some
paying as much as $5,000 for a ticket
packed the Q, which was updated during the off-
season with a gigantic, re-spewing score-
board to welcome home James. The Akron
native came back to his hoops roots hoping to
deliver a title to Cleveland, a city that hasnt
nished on top in pro sports since 1964.
Unfortunately for Cleveland, the nights
best moments came before the game, as James
played poorly and the Cavs were beaten 95-90.
James had eight turnovers, missed 10 shots
and was not in sync with his new teammates.
Im glad its over, James said.
Before taking the oor, James huddled his
teammates in a hallway and told them that
tonight is special. He then gave a playful tap
to owner Dan Gilberts son, Nick, before walk-
ing onto the court that was his for seven sea-
sons.
The pregame festivities ended with James
going to midcourt and performing his chalk
toss pregame ritual with fans tossing paper
confetti along with him.
James, who has won NBAtitles and Olympic
gold medals, knew this season opener is a lit-
tle more special.
I understand how much I mean to this team,
to this franchise, to this city and to this state,
he said. Its a different feeling, but Im still as
calm and excited at the same time because its
the rst game of the season.
In the hours leading up to tip-off, thousands
of fans gathered in the streets outside the
arena. This was a party four years in the mak-
ing.
Across the street from the Q, a 10-story-tall
banner of James was unveiled in the same spot
where one hung during his rst seven seasons
with the Cavs. The spot became a symbol of
civic pride until that night in July 2010 when
James announced he was leaving for Miami. In
the hours after his decision, some angry fans
burned his jersey and others hurled rocks at a
banner that would be removed a few days later.
On Thursday, the new banner showing
James with his arms outstretched wearing a jer-
sey with Cleveland where his name would
normally be stitched drew fans who posed
for photos the same way they did when James
was here last.
Chrissy Pavlik of Wadsworth, Ohio, and her
brother, Brad, were among the fans who didnt
have a ticket for the game but wanted to be
downtown to celebrate.
I grew up playing basketball and LeBron
was always one of my role models, so when he
left I was devastated, crying, throwing ts,
she said. To see the banner back, we drove
into the city and I was like, Check it out,
dude. Its so cool. Were very, very happy.
Along East 4th Street, fans wearing James
jerseys and broad smiles mixed with patrons
lined up to get into overowing restaurants
and bars and a free concert featuring hip-hop
artist Kendrick Lamar and the rock band
Imagine Dragons.
As they led past, Barry Harris, 55, of

recorded five blocks on the night, working
in tandem with Tigers senior Katie Smoot,
who totaled a match-high seven blocks.
It was a special night for [Kolnes],
Notre Dame sophomore Tammy Byrne said.
[McDonalds injury] gave Steph an oppor-
tunity to come in and show what she has,
and she definitely did it. She played great.
For Sacred Heart Prep, freshman Cate
Desler made an offensive splash with a
match-high 13 kills.
When we were at practice this week, I
told the team: any freshman that can come
in and compose herself with such maturity
is quite amazing, Sacred Heart Prep head
coach Ali Magner said. She has had a few
(big games). Every time she comes in the
game, she provides us with something. But
tonight she actually lit it up. It was really
fun to watch.
Notre Dame jumped out to a substantial
20-12 lead in Game 1, at which time Byrne
subbed off the court. But Sacred Heart Prep
got a kill from Desler to get setter Lilika Teu
to the service line. The junior reeled off five
points, including an ace to close the lead to
20-18. So, Byrne subbed back onto the
court to wrestle control for the Tigers.
When I came off the court, I feel like it
just fell apart a little bit, Byrne said. So, I
just came back on it, just told everybody
you need to keep cheering and get loud and
support each other. If we just get one good
pass up, well get a kill.
The sophomore executed her game plan
by firing a quick kill to give Notre Dame a
bit of breathing room. Sacred Heart Prep
battled to close to within a point at 22-21,
but Byrne came up with her sixth kill of the
set for a side out. Stepping to the service
line, Byrne drilled an ace to set up game
point. Then senior Amanda Reshke closed
out Game 1 with one of her seven match
kills.
In Game 2, Byrne again had a critical serv-
ice performance. After Notre Dame took an
8-7 lead on a side out, Byrne had two service
points, including an ace to give the Tigers a
10-7 advantage. They would lead the rest of
the way, but saw another 20-12 lead was
whittled down to 22-19. Kolnes controlled
the front line though with two big blocks in
the set, giving Notre Dame momentum
going into Game 3.
In the final set, Notre Dame setter Lisa
Morabe went on an early nine-point service
run, including two aces. Still, Sacred Heart
Prep rallied from a 10-1 deficit to close to
within five points at 22-17 before Smoot
closed it out with a strong showing down
the stretch. The sophomore had a team-high
12 kills.
With the win, Notre Dame closes the sea-
son with a 29-5 record. In Wednesdays loss
to Valley Christian in a battle for third
place, however, the Tigers fell to fourth
place with a 3-3 WCAL record.
Thats the problem with us right now,
Byrne said. Were kind of losing momen-
tum after that winning streak we had at the
beginning of the year. We just need to keep
reassuring ourselves that were the same
team that was playing at the beginning of
the season. We just need to stay as a team.
We need to work together. We cant fall
apart. We just need to keep working as hard
as we did at the beginning of the season.
WCAL playoffs begin next Tuesday.

VOLLEYBALL
LOS ANGELES Henry Nguyen and Peter
Guber envision their new Major League Soccer
team taking the field somewhere in the Los
Angeles area in early 2017 in a sparkling new
stadium filled with roaring fans.
All they need now is a team name, colors,
logo, offices, an entire business infrastruc-
ture, coaches, executives and players for those
fans to support.
And they need to find a place to build the
entire stadium, preferably in the next two
years.
Nguyen, Guber and their partners in the ten-
tatively named Los Angeles Football Club are
confident they have the passion and the
deep pockets necessary to realize all of
these dreams before they take the field.
We are building a brand-new, bright and
shiny club, which is very exciting, said
Nguyen, the business mogul who will serve as
the managing partner.
The LAFC ownership group and MLS
Commissioner Don Garber held their first
public event Thursday at a Hollywood studio
on Sunset Boulevard, revealing a diverse line-
up of businesspeople and sports luminaries
eager to capitalize on soccers ever-growing
North American profile with a second MLS
club in the nations second-largest city.
Were coming in (to MLS) at a point in
time where were on a rocket ship, Nguyen
said. MLS is a terrific league, incredibly well-
managed, and I dont see any reason why in a
decades time it cant be one of the top foot-
ball leagues in the world.
While Nguyen is in charge, LAFC has finan-
cial backing from Malaysian billionaire
Vincent Tan, the Cardiff City owner who will
serve as an LAFC director. ESPN basketball
analyst Tom Penn will be the clubs president,
and film producer Guber provides local con-
nections along with his wealth.
LAFC is an expansion franchise with no
ties to Chivas USA, which was folded by MLS
this week after a mostly miserable 10-year run
in the shadow of the LAGalaxy, an original
MLS franchise with four championships and a
history including Landon Donovan and David
Beckham.
Rather than worrying about local competi-
tion, Nguyen sees the Galaxy as a comple-
ment to LAFCs plans.
We are ready, willing and able to build a
significant rivalry with the LA Galaxy,
Nguyen said. Theres plenty of room for the
two of us. We respect what theyve done very
much. Theyve got four Cups, and theyre
maybe on their way to a fifth. Weve got a lot
to prove, but that rivalry is going to be one of
our first priorities. We dont want to be second
in L.A. to anybody.
Garber was determined to keep a second
team in Southern California despite Chivas
paltry attendance, and Nguyens group beat
out stiff competition for the chance to own it.
Garber connected Nguyen with Guber during a
meeting in Beijing a few years ago, and
Nguyen got Tan involved through their rela-
tionship from a Southeast Asian basketball
league.
Owners have grand plans for new MLS club in L.A.

Carroll said. Every one of our coaches,
when they break up and start looking at the
Raiders and taking seriously what theyre
doing well, everybody comes back talking
about him. Hes almost unblockable and
hes got a great motor. Hes fast, hes tough,
hes instinctive. We think hes an obvious
factor.
Mack played down the wide-spread praise
he has received in recent weeks, saying it
means nothing until the Raiders (0-7) have
more success on the field.
Its gratifying in a personal aspect but
you want to go out and win the game, he
said. It can mean something once you
stamp a win. But were still working on that
win. All you see out there is hunger for a
win.
Mack has been dominant against the run,
where he is the biggest reason for a dramat-
ic turnaround in recent weeks by the
Raiders. Oakland has allowed just 2. 9 yards
per carry in October, second to Denver for
the NFL lead.
Mack is tied with Tampa Bays Lavonte
David for the NFL lead with 8 1/2 tackles
behind the line of scrimmage against the
run, including 5 1/2 the past two weeks.
Hes going to be measured in whether or
not he sacks the quarterback, but I would
just say that its been a long time since Ive
seen somebody do that in the run game,
interim coach Tony Sparano said. What he
did in the run game to an opponent, this guy
Khalil has just really dominated.

RAIDERS
By Rick Eymer
SANTA CLARA An extra week to heal
has proved beneficial for San Francisco tight
end Vernon Davis, who says he can play
without thinking again. And thats a good
thing.
Coming off an injury,
it always lingers and its
in your mind when youre
playing, Davis said
Thursday. I feel healthy
enough to go out, get
going, not thinking, just
reacting.
Hampered by ankle and
back problems most of
the season, Davis hopes to add to his 14
catches for 142 yards in the 49ers rematch
with the visiting St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
An All-Pro player last year after catching
13 touchdown passes, Davis has been limit-
ed to a pair of touchdown receptions, both in
the first quarter of the 49ers season-opening
victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Youre always going to have trials and
face adversity, Davis said. You can grow
from it if you deal with it the right way.
San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg
Roman expects bigger things ahead for
Davis, the franchise leader among tight ends
with 55 touchdowns.
I think hes back to form, and you know,
hes been playing through some things,
Roman said. Hes gutted his way through it
and I think hes got a very focused glare when
it comes to what he wants to accomplish
from here on out.
Regaining his proficiency as a deep threat
is one of those things he wants to accom-
plish.
For the most part I feel like I can do a lot
of things well, Davis said. The bye week
was a great opportunity to work on things
and to try to get healthy.
His presence would give Colin
Kaepernick, who threw for season highs of
343 yards and three touchdowns in the 49ers
win over the Rams three weeks ago, another
weapon in the passing game.
Ill do whatever it takes to win, Davis
said. Ill block for Frank Gore, Ill be the
decoy down field, whatever it takes.
As far as dealing with adversity, Davis
only needs to look down a few lockers to see
how running back Marcus Lattimore has
been dealing with it for two years.
Lattimore, who turned 23 on Wednesday, is
two years removed from a devastating knee
injury and made his practice debut this week,
getting individual attention from former
49ers fullback Tom Rathman, among others.
It was great to see him out there, Roman
said. He worked with coach Rathman after
practice and got with some of the defensive
players and got some contact work, which
was really good.
The 49ers have 21 days to decide whether
to put him on the active roster.
NOTES: WR Stevie Johnson, a San
Francisco native, said the Giants winning
the World Series puts pressure on us to make
it a San Francisco thing. Hopefully, the
Warriors can take the NBA. Johnson said
the San Jose Sharks Logan Couture once
told him that the difference in the playoffs
was how people reacted to each other. Thats
what we want here and it could be a special
year.

NFL seeks to dismiss
ex-players painkillers suit
SAN FRANCISCO The National
Football League on Thursday asked a judge
to toss out a lawsuit filed by former players
who allege team officials gave them power-
ful painkillers and other drugs to keep them
on the field without regard for their long-
term health.
The NFLs lawyer argued that the NFL is
not responsible for the medical decisions of
its 32 teams. The lawyer also said that the
issue should be addressed by the players
union, which negotiated a collective bar-
gaining agreement that covers player
health.
U. S. District Judge William Alsup won-
dered about the unions role as well.
There is a union and the union should be
looking out for the players, Alsup said. The
judge ordered the lawyers to contact the
National Football League Players
Association to determine its position on the
lawsuit.
A spokesman for the NFLPA didnt
respond to an email and phone inquiry
Thursday.
Most of the one-hour hearing in San
Francisco was taken up by debate over
whether the NFL or its individual clubs are
responsible for the medical care of the play-
ers.

Dvorakova. Martinucci said she is still
regaining the strength of her backhand, but
the shot was effective for her early on.
When she started scuffling with it, her tem-
per started to flare. In addition to openly
talking to herself on the court, the freshman
has a habit of slapping herself on the leg to
regain her focus.
Recently, Ive been having a bad tem-
per, Martinucci said. So I had to stay as
calm as I could. I just put a lot of pressure on
myself.
Burlingame also has a new look on the
doubles side. For Shaffer and Monisteri,
Thursdays playoff match was just their
third of the season as a tandem. Having lost
their previous two matches, they entered
into Thursday as the underdogs against
Carlmonts revered No. 1 doubles team of
Watson and Sobey.
Shaffer admitted she was a little psyched
out entering the match. Last year, playing
with a different partner, she twice went up
against the hard-hitting Watson and Sobey.
She even had some bruises to show for it.
I just knew they were really consistent,
Shaffer said. Morgan, she hit me a couple
times last year. So I knew I was going to
have to keep the ball away from her.
Shaffer and Monisteri couldnt execute the
strategy at first. By the third set, however,
they were consistently exploiting a seam
through the middle of the court. Then, as the
third set would down, Monisteri starting
playing like she had nothing to lose,
because she thought she didnt, as the junior
said she thought Burlingame had lost the
match.
So with the small gathering of
Burlingame parents in attendance providing
plenty of noise with applause in response
to every point, Shaffer and Monisteri closed
strong. They found themselves tied 15-15
in the final game, but forced Carlmont to
shoot wide twice in a row to force match
point. Then Shaffer produced a forehand
smash to a vacant back corner to finish it.
I really thought [our team] had lost,
Monisteri said. We just made some jokes to
lighten the mood and starting having fun.
Then it clicked.
Carlmont head coach Amina Halsey said
the Scots also have a chance to advance to
the teams fourth consecutive CCS tourna-
ment during her coaching tenure. At-large
selections will be announced a week from
Saturday following the PAL individual tour-
nament. With the loss, the Scots record
falls to 14-7.
[Burlingame has] a good team, Halsey
said. When their No. 1 is healthy and ready
to play, it really changes the dynamic for
them. This is how you to see a final match
go. Both teams played well. It was a
tough one.
Burlingame also got wins from its No. 4
single Lindsey Schloetter, who downed
Snehal Pandey 6-3, 7-6 (5). The Panthers
No. 3 doubles Arisa Dintcho and Tyler Yee
defeated Ayesha Abbasi and Camryn Choye
6-2, 6-2.
Carlmont No. 2 single Mar Burgueno
defeated Natalie Somers 7-5, 6-3. Carlmont

Arfania and Marie Blukher 6-4, 5-7, 6-2.
TENNIS
WASHINGTON Center fielder Denard Span
is staying with the Washington Nationals, who
exercised their $9 million option for 2015 on
his contract Thursday, while declining options
on first baseman Adam LaRoche and reliever
Rafael Soriano.
Span, Washingtons leadoff hitter, batted
.302 with 31 steals and tied for first in the NL
with a Nationals record 184 hits. He is a Gold
Glove Award finalist.
Excited to be coming back to (hash)dc for
another year! (hash)extraordinary, he tweeted.
LaRoches deal included a $15 million mutu-
al optional for next season, but Washington
instead chose to pay him a $2 million buyout.
Sorianos contract included a $14 million club
option for 2015. They now become free
agents.
The 34-year-old LaRoche led the NL East
champion Nationals with 26 homers and 92
RBIs this season, his fourth with the club. He
went 1 for 18 in an NLDivision Series loss to
the eventual World Series champion San
Francisco Giants.
The Nationals might wind up moving Ryan
Zimmerman a longtime third baseman who
has been replaced at that position by Anthony
Rendon across the diamond to first base.
Soriano began this season as the closer and
converted 22 of 24 save opportunities with a
0.97 ERAbefore the All-Star break. After that,
though, he blew five of 15 save chances, and
Drew Storen took over the ninth-inning role in
September.
Nationals second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera,
acquired from Cleveland at the trade deadline,
and reserves Scott Hairston and Nate
Schierholtz also became free agents.
Nats waste little time in firing up the hot stove
Sequoia (0-3, 2-5) at
Burlingame (3-0, 7-0), 7 p.m. Friday
The Cherokees were clipped by Sacred Heart
Prep last week, 34-14. The Panthers pounded
Terra Nova, 42-22. This will be the first
meeting between these two since a 28-0
Burlingame win in 2008. The Cherokees
lost their third game in a row last week and have
now dropped four of their last five. The
Panthers racked up 470 yards of offense last
week including 374 yards on the ground.
Barry Palu led the way with 168 yards and a
score on 19 carries. Griffin Intrieri finished with
133 yards and three TDs on 17 carries.
Burlingame allowed 20 points or more for only
the second time this season.
Menlo-Atherton (1-2, 2-5) at
Sacred Heart Prep (2-0, 7-0), 3 p.m. Friday
The Bears were beat 28-20 by Menlo School
last week. The Gators grabbed a 34-14 victo-
ry from Sequoia. SHP held off M-A15-13 last
year. The Gators have won three of the last
four meetings with the Bears, but it hasnt been
easy. Their average margin of victory in those
games is just over four points. M-Ahas final-
ly gotten its running game going over the last
three weeks. After two straight weeks of 200-
plus yard performances, the Bears rushed for
168 and three touchdowns last week. Aweek
after rushing for more than 500 yards, SHP put
up a more than respectable 329 yards on the
ground against the Cherokees. Mason
Randall, Lapitu Mahoni, JR Hardy and Ben
Burr-Kirven all scored rushing TDs last week.
Menlo School (1-1, 4-3) at
Terra Nova (1-2, 2-5), 7 p.m. Friday
The Knights held off Menlo-Atherton last
week, 28-20. the Tigers were tamed by
Burlingame, 42-22. Terra Nova posted a 44-
25 win over Menlo in 2014. Menlo accumu-
lated just 268 yards of offense last week. Jack
Marren continues to be a force on both sides of
the ball for the Knights. Last week, he rushed
for a touchdown and added a pick-6 from his
defensive back spot. Tigers QB Anthony
Gordon was held to just 257 yards passing
against Burlingame, the first time he has been
held below 300 this season. Gordon did, how-
ever, throw three TDs for the seventh straight
game. Terra Nova WR Marvin Montoya
stepped up with the Tigers missing Jordan
Genato to injury. Montoya caught eight passes
for 126 yards. Despite what looked initially
a bad hip injury, sources say Genato could very
well return at some point this year.
El Camino (0-3, 2-5) at
Jefferson (1-1, 4-3), 7 p.m. Friday
The Colts were creamed by Capuchino last
week, 42-14. The Indians were knocked off
23-14 by Carlmont. El Camino put a pound-
ing on Jefferson last year, winning 56-8.
The Colts have now lost four straight and have
scored a total of 20 points over that span.
Jefferson had its three-game winning streak
snapped last week. The Indians are averaging
40 points in their four wins. In their three loss-
es, they average 9.
Capuchino (2-0), 4-3) at
Kings Academy (2-0, 6-1), 7 p.m.
The Mustangs mauled El Camino last week,
42-14. The Knights galloped past Mills, 51-
14. This is the first meeting between these
teams since Kings Academy entered the PAL
beginning the 2008 season. Capuchino has
won three of its last four games and sits in a tie
for first place with Kings Academy. The
Knights went over the 40-point barrier for the
fourth time this season. Kings Academy
allowed 14 points last week, the first points the
Knights have given up in three weeks. They
posted shutouts in their previous two games.

Three plays later, the Warriors went deep
into the playbook to find the end zone.
Quarterback Kolson Pua hit Kamelmela with
a lateral pass. After Kamelmela avoid some
pressure, he launched a long pass toward a
wide open Alex Benavides, who was all alone
in the left-front corner of the end zone.
Benavides hauled in the pass for a 31-yard
score.
A missed extra point, however, left the
Warriors trailing 13-12.
On Hillsdales first drive of the fourth quar-
ter, the Knights turned the ball over for the
third time, when Mahanty threw a ball up for
grabs and South Citys Christian Palega
came down with the interception and returned
it to midfield.
From there, Kamelamela took over. He
gained 33 yards on the 50-yard scoring drive,
capping it with a 1-yard plunge to give the
Warriors an 18-13 lead with seven minutes
left to play.
Hillsdale got the ball back twice over the
final seven minutes, but each time came up
empty. The Warriors then iced the game when
Kamelamela exploded into the end zone from
22 yards out on a fourth-down play, putting
South City up 25-13 with 22 seconds left to
play.
Both defenses were ahead of the offenses
from the outset of the game. South City
thwarted Hillsdales first drive of the game
when Angel Nevarez intercepted a Wetteland
pass and returned it to the Knights 37-yard
line.
The Hillsdale defense, however, was equal-
ly stout, stopping the Warriors on fourth
down. After Hillsdale was forced to punt on
its second possession, the South City
offense found its rhythm. The Warriors put
together an 11-play drive, starting from their
own 48 and punctuating it with a 1-yard Cesar
Torres touchdown run for a 6-0 South City
lead with 14 seconds left in the first quarter.
That drive appeared to wake Hillsdale from
its doldrums as the Knights answered the
Warriors score with one of their own.
Starting from their own 28, the Knights
needed just eight plays to find pay dirt.
Hillsdale running back James Hollon start-
ed the drive with a 14-yard gain and ended
with a 28-yard Cameron Taylor run, tying the
game at 6 with 9:33 to play in the first half.
The Knights then used a bend-dont-break
defensive stand, stopping the Warriors on
fourth down at the Hillsdale 9-yard line. On
their ensuing drive, the Knights marched to
the South City 32 before backing up. Ahold-
ing call moved them back 10 yards, on a play
Wetteland slammed his head on the ground.
He writhed around on ground before groggily
getting up and slowly made his way to the
sideline.
Mahanty came in and the first snap he saw
sailed over his head. Mahanty fell on it for a
10-yard loss and the Knights eventually
punted.
It was then the Hillsdale defense stepped
up. With less than a minute to play, the South
City quarterback dropped back and attempted
a quick bubble screen at the line of scrim-
mage. But Hillsdales Tanner Franco stepped
in front of the receiver and picked off the
pass, returning it 28 yards for a 13-6
Hillsdale lead at halftime.

Warriors 25-13 win over Hillsdale Thursday night in San Mateo.
Saints 28, Panthers 10
CHARLOTTE, N. C. Drew Brees and the Saints proved
they know how to win big games on the road.
Brees overcame a shaky start and threw for one touchdown
and ran for another and New Orleans defeated the Carolina
Panthers 28-10 Thursday night to take over first place in the
NFC South.
The Saints (4-4) piled up 375 yards to snap a seven-game
losing streak on the road that dated back to last November.
Brees finished 24 of 34 for 297 yards and Mark Ingram
turned in another solid performance with 100 yards rushing
and two touchdowns.
Brees threw an interception and fumbled in the first quarter
before settling down late in the second and leading touch-
down drives on four out of five possessions.
The Saints defense sacked Cam Newton four times and
forced two turnovers.
Newton, who spent much of the night under heavy duress
playing behind an offensive line without three of its regular
starters, was limited to 151 yards passing.
New Orleans pushed inside the Carolina 15-yard line on the
game-opening drive before Brees pass for Kenny Stills was
deflected to Panthers defensive lineman Dwan Edwards for the
interception.
Then, after the Saints forced a punt, Brees quickly pushed
the Saints to midfield only to have Carolinas Charles
Johnson push fullback Erik Lorig into him and knock the
ball loose as he looked downfield for a fumble.

TRANSACTIONS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. If trailing
Auburn by 18 last season in the BCS
Championship game didnt shake
Florida State, a 21-0 first-half deficit
to Louisville surely wasnt going
to, either.
Thanks to another remarkable
comeback by the Seminoles and
quarterback Jameis Winston, their
hopes of competing for a second
straight national championship
remain intact.
Winston threw three touchdown
passes to offset a three-interception
start and Dalvin Cook had two long
scoring runs to help second-ranked
Florida State rally for a 42-31 victo-
ry over Louisville on Thursday
night.
Big rallies arent uncommon for
Florida State, which trailed Auburn
21-3 in the title game before win-
ning 34-31 in a thriller. The
Seminoles also overcame a 24-7
deficit at North Carolina State in
September before going on to a 56-
41 win.
Florida States latest comeback for
its 24th straight win might have
saved the season.
Out of sorts and on the verge of
having its College Football Playoff
prospects damaged, the Seminoles
(8-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast
Conference, No. 2 CFP) recovered
behind their Heisman Trophy quar-
terback and Cook.
Cook had a 40-yard touchdown
run in the third quarter and gave the
Seminoles the lead for good with a
38-yard run with 3:46 remaining.
All of Winstons TD passes were
big. He hit Travis Rudolph for 68
yards, Ermon Lane for 47, and
Freddie Stevenson for the 35-yard
clincher with 2:11 remaining.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Skewering the television news industry
is fish-in-a-barrel easy. The amount of
low-hanging satire fruit in the network
studios and on the anchors desks is boun-
tiful to say the least (sensationalism, rat-
ings whoring, kindergarten level analysis,
etc.), but Nightcrawler treats us to hor-
rifying new heights (or depths).
Weve all heard of the industrys unoffi-
cial motto of if it bleeds, it leads, and
this movie focuses on how some of that
bloody video content is secured by televi-
sion stations. They use freelance videog-
raphers who hunt the night for grisly
imagery.
Whether the industrys faults are its own
or due to simply satisfying audience
demand is an exploration for another
review or another movie. Nightcrawler
instead takes us on a nuts-and-bolts jour-
ney of the process of content collection.
The procedure apparently goes some-
thing like this for the freelancer: Listen to
police band radio. When an interesting,
provocative incident occurs that has
potential for violent imagery located in a
good (read: white) neighborhood and con-
sisting of good (read: white) victims, then
get in a fast car and drive recklessly to
beat your competitors to the scene. Take
up-close, nearly intimate video shots of
the incident, until the police notice you

Singer Taylor Swift performs on ABCs Good Morning America
to promote her new album 1989 in New York.
By Beth J. Harpaz
NEW YORK Welcome to New
York, Taylor Swift! The locals are
kvetching about you already.
Swifts new gig as New York Citys
global welcome ambassador is get-
t i ng a Bronx cheer (not t hat she
knows what that is) from locals who
questioned her street cred and mocked
the videos she made for the citys
tourism agency, NYC & Company.
In the videos, she explains how to
pronounce Houst on St reet (HOW-
ston, not YOU-ston); defines bode-
ga as a corner 24-hour store (though
the bodega pictured looks spiffier
than what most New Yorkers might
think of as a bodega), and declares her
love for the perfect latte.
A latte is not like a slice of pizza,
or a bagel, declared a writer in the
Village Voice. The Daily News called
her appoi nt ment absurd. A
Brooklyn city councilman, Jumaane
D. Williams, asked in a tweet, Of all
the past/present talent and celebrities
t hat are act ual l y nat i ve NYers
explain again why (hash)TaylorSwift
is our ambassador? Others wondered
why Jay Z, Jerry Seinfeld or J Lo
werent tapped.
Even the unflappable anchor for the
citys 24-hour cable news station,
NY1s Pat Kiernan, expressed out-
rage, asking whether Swift knows
who Dr. Zizmor is. (Zizmor is a der-
matologist whos advertised on the
subway for years. )
But NYC & Company spokesman
Chris Heywood defended Swift as the
perfect choice for the citys global
ambassador.
She is the No. 1 global pop star in
the world right now, he said in a
phone interview Thursday. She is a
new New Yorker. She came to New
York l ast spri ng. Thi s i s a new
approach, all about the wonderment
and excitement you have when you
first come to New York City. To have
this enthusiasm from a global super-
star, who has given us her image and
influence to promote New York City,
is a gift. We are so grateful.
Heywood noted that a previous NYC
& Company campaign, Just ask the
locals, used New Yorkers like Robert
De Niro and Cynthia Nixon.
Swi ft was born and rai sed i n
Pennsylvania, moving to Nashville
at age 14 to pursue country music.
Last year she bought a $20 million
apartment in Tribeca, a trendy down-
town Manhattan neighborhood. Her
new album, 1989, released Monday,
is pure pop, marking a break with
country.
Her appointment as global tourism
ambassador coincided with the release
of her si ngl e, Wel come t o New
York, which is on track to sell 1 mil-
lion copies in a week. She plans to
donate proceeds from the song to city
public schools, and is not being paid
for the ambassador stint.
Not everyones treating Swift the
way the Red Sox are greeted by Yankee
fans. The New York Post said in an
editorial: The Swift promotions are
not aimed at New Yorkers. Theyre
aimed at people who live elsewhere.
These are people who wont sneer
when Swift explains what a stoop is
or the right pronunciation of Houston
Street.
On The Tonight Show, Jimmy
Fallon quipped, How could we let a
woman whos not even from New York
welcome people to the city? adding
in a French accent, The Statue of
Liberty said, I know, its just crazy.
Pauline Frommer, a born-and-raised
New Yorker who wrote Frommers
EasyGui de t o New York Ci t y,
acknowledged that immigrants make
New York great, adding, Taylor Swift
is certainly one of our most talented
new arrivals. But she questioned how
Swift could represent the city. Would
carpet baggi ng be t he ri ght t erm
here?
Swi ft s represent at i ve di d not
respond to a request for comment. But
Swift told David Letterman she was
chosen to promote the city because
she couldnt stop raving about New
York as the greatest place ever. I
guess the city picked up on that,
theyre like, Shes the most enthusi-
astic, obnoxious person to ever love
New York. She loves it with like 18
exclamation points.
Taylor Swift gets a cheer as NYC Ambassador
WEEKEND JOURNAL 20
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
A MESSAGE FROM THE COURT TO
THE COMMUNITY. On Sept. 23, 2014,
Hon. Robert D. Foiles, presiding judge of
the San Mateo County Superior Court,
issued the following message to the com-
muni t y regardi ng court fundi ng, court
workforce reduction, and access to justice.
On behalf of the San Mateo County
Superior Court I wish to thank the count-
less members of our community who wrote
letters, made phone calls and lobbied the
governor and Legislature to restore fund-
i ng t o t he t ri al court s. Al t hough t he
recently passed state budget did not pro-
vide the level of fiscal relief we had hoped,
it will save some jobs and preserve access
to justice that would have otherwise been
lost.
Unprecedented state budget cuts to the
judicial branch over the past six years
have been devastating to all California
trial courts. Since 2008, over $1 billion
has been cut from the judicial branch.
Partial restoration in the past two years
(just over 10 percent in true restoration
dollars) remains woefully inadequate to
sust ai n al l essent i al court servi ces.
Throughout the state, presiding judges
continue to speak out about the severe
losses for state trial courts, our workforce
and critical access to justice.
In Los Angeles, Judge Wesley stated,
The fact is this years state budget is a dis-
aster for access to justice. In Sacramento,
Judge Hight stated, We are operating, but
were not serving the public very well.
Recently, Santa Clara announced they will
reduce their workforce by over 35 percent
and close more courtrooms. Judge Walsh
stated, Unfortunately, the new trial court
budget will lead to more courtroom clo-
sures, longer lines and greater delays in
obtaining vital court orders. And we hear
the same from San Diego, Shasta, Contra
Costa, Fresno, Solano, Santa Barbara,
Merced and other trial courts that plan to
make further reductions.
Here in San Mateo, we foresaw the
pot ent i al effect of t hese reduct i ons as
early as 2007 and we took action. Our
j udges and admi ni st rat i ve l eadershi p,
together with our court staff, have worked
diligently and in partnership with our
unions and justice agencies to effectively
utilize technology, create efficiencies and
savings and consolidate our workforce to
provide the best trial court services possi-
ble with the resources available. At their
hi ghest poi nt , st at e cut s necessi t at ed
reductions of over 33 percent of our San
Mat eo Superi or Court workforce. Our
reductions totaled 130 positions; in 2008
we had 385, in the 2013-14 fiscal year we
were at 255. These ongoing cuts have
caused us to shutter court houses and cen-
tralize services to Redwood City, lay off
staff and Commissioners, reduce calendars
and cut public counter and phone hours.
We purposeful l y i mpl ement ed court
service reductions in incremental steps,
intending to soften the loss of important
services even as we worked hard to avoid
them. These actions have been extremely
difficult we did not want to take them
but we have communicated them openly
and well in advance, acted responsibly and
are living within the limits of our reduced
state funding support. With much hard
work, we have successfully restored six
court staff positions this July.
At the San Mateo Superior Court, we
work with and for each other to achieve
justice. Our disposition rate per judicial
posi t i on (t he number of court cases
resolved per judicial officer) remains con-
sistently among the highest for state trial
courts. We remain committed to continu-
ous improvement, creating efficiencies
and effectively utilizing technology to
maximize our productivity and court serv-
ices, to benefit the public we all serve.
This said, we continue to face signifi-
cant internal and external challenges to
providing essential justice. Six restored
positions cannot cover the workload of
the 130 that have been lost even after
all reasonable efficiencies and productivi-
ty measures are accounted for. This means
that until reasonable levels of trial court
funding are restored, some level of delay
will almost certainly continue. Our lines
will remain long, our hours open to the
public remain reduced and the public will
continue to experience significant delays.
A number of areas in our clerks office
remain stretched as we continuously work
to allocate our workforce where it is most
needed.
Externally, many of our neighboring
courts are faced with the challenges of fur-
ther reducing services and the Judicial
Branch as a whole is faced with another
year of failing to effectively convince
state leaders to provide essential court
funding. As a result, justice remains at risk
statewide. The fact remains that weve
received back too little of what has been
taken from the Judicial Branch through
severe, disproportionate state cuts that
have continued since 2008 and, as a result,
our trial courts remain dangerously under-
funded.
Trial courts protect public rights, pub-
lic freedom and public safety. They are
relied upon to provide essential services
and support for individuals, families and
our community. I urge everyone to remain
vigilant in reminding state lawmakers that
a strong economy relies on a judicial sys-
tem that works. Your continued support is
essential as we strive to seek appropriate
funding levels for the court.

Not so sweet: Chocolate
prices areset to increase
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK That bowl of
chocolates for ninjas and ghosts
wont cost you more this
Halloween. Picking the perfect
sweet for your Valentine could.
The cost of ingredients in choco-
late bars is rising, and the nations
biggest candy makers have already
warned of price hikes next year.
And its not just costs that are push-
ing up prices. A growing sweet
tooth around the world means more
demand for chocolate.
Here are the global trends putting
pressure on the confection:
PRICIER INGREDIENTS
Hershey and Mars, which togeth-
er account for about two-thirds of
U.S. chocolate sales, are hiking
prices. Hershey cited the rising cost
of cocoa, dairy and nuts when it
announced an 8 percent increase in
the average wholesale price of its
candy this summer. Those higher
costs weighed on the chocolate
makers most recent earnings,
which fell 4 percent.
Hershey CEO, John Bilbrey, said
in an interview with CNBC earlier
this month that shoppers wouldnt
see a price increase this year
because his company negotiated
prices for its holiday items well in
advance. However, consumers
would notice an impact next year.
Mars, a privately-held company,
said this summer that its prices
would rise by about 7 percent
because of a need to support its
marketing spending and manufac-
turing capabilities. The company
said that it last increased prices in
2011.
GLOBAL SWEET TOOTH
People in the developing
economies of Asia and Latin
America are acquiring a taste for
chocolate. While North America
and Western Europe still account for
more than half of global chocolate
sales, demand is growing faster in
emerging markets. Thats raising
concerns that demand for cocoa
beans, the key ingredient in choco-
late bars, will outstrip supply.
Chocolate sales in Asia are fore-
cast to grow by 23 percent over the
next five years and by almost 31
percent in Latin America, according
to London-based research firm
Euromonitor International. That
compares with growth of 8.3 per-
cent in North America and 4.7 per-
cent in Western Europe over the
same period.
Those forecasts helped push the
price of cocoa beans as high as
$3,371 a ton in September, the high-
est level since March 2011. The
price has since fallen back to $2,923
a ton, but it is still 23 percent high-
er than it was two years ago.
SUPPLY PROBLEMS
West Africa is the worlds biggest
cocoa producing region and
accounts for about two-thirds of the
global crop. Unlike large, modern
farms in the U.S. and other devel-
oped economies, about 80 to 90 per-
cent of the worlds cocoa crop
comes from small, family-run oper-
ations, according to the World
Cocoa Foundation, a trade organiza-
tion.
The small-scale production
makes it more challenging to intro-
duce modern farming techniques
that boost productivity from season-
to-season to faster match demand.
The WCF, which is backed by com-
panies including Mars and Hershey,
is sponsoring farmer training to
encourage more efficient use of
water resources and better soil man-
agement to improve crop yields.
West Africa is also at the center of
the Ebola outbreak. But concerns
that cocoa production would be
hampered by the virus spread have
proven overblown, so far.
The Ivory Coast, which produces
about 40 percent of the worlds
cocoa crop, has yet to register a sin-
gle case of Ebola, despite sharing a
western border with Liberia and
Guinea, two of the nations at the
center of the epidemic.
FOOD HIKES
Chocolate-covered bacon, any-
one? It might be a hit to more than
just your waistline. Bacon prices
have climbed 7 percent this year
after a fatal virus swept through the
nations pig herds. Coffee prices
jumped after a drought in Brazil
damaged the crop. Milk prices have
also risen.
The retail price of chocolate has
climbed to an average of $5.93 a
pound in 2014 from $4.92 five years
ago, according to estimates from the
National Confectioners Association,
an industry group that represents
candy and chocolate makers.
Hershey CEO, John Bilbrey, said in an interview with CNBC earlier this month that shoppers wouldnt see a price
increase this year because his company negotiated prices for its holiday items well in advance.However,consumers
would notice an impact next year.

and shoo you away.
Offer video to news stations. Negotiate
price. Receive check. Repeat.
Its TMZ, but with blood and guts instead
of Botox and silicone.
We first meet Lou Bloom (Jake
Gyllenhaal) at a crime scene, but one in
which he is creating himself. He, at that
moment, is making ends meet by clipping
off a chain-link fence so he can sell the
metal for cash. He seems to be sort of the
man who is willing to do anything to sur-
vive.
On the way home from pawning off his
stolen goods, he chances upon a terrible car
accident and discovers something life
changing. He observes a freelance video
crew led by Joe Loder (Bill Paxton) film
emergency responders as they attempt to
pull a car crash victim from a burning vehi-
cle.
Blooms interest is piqued, especially the
next morning when he sees Joes work on a
segment on the morning television news
broadcast. Like any great businessman,
Bloom recognizes an opportunity, or maybe
he is just tired of petty thievery as a trade.
He invests in a police band radio and a
camcorder and embarks on a new career path
with sociopathic zest. He starts collecting
videos and selling them to a sleazy ratings-
hungry producer played by Rene Russo.
She is particularly grimy as Nina, a swing
shift news producer, channeling Faye
Dunaway in Network if you can imagine
that character at the very, very tail end of her
career. Its Russos best performance in quite
awhile, even if the character she plays is a
caricature. Nina is a perfect kindred spirit to
Bloom.
The cast is rounded out by Riz Ahmed
(The Reluctant Fundamentalist), who
plays Blooms intern. His role is mostly
minor, but at the very least, hes probably
delighted he doesnt have to play yet anoth-
er typecast Muslim or terrorist because
of his Pakistani heritage.
Ultimately, this is definitely Gyllenhaals
movie from top to bottom.
He plays Bloom like some twisted version
of Dale Carnegie, enhanced by an utter
absence of morality. He crosses every ethi-
cal and legal boundary while utilizing tried
and true business strategies negotiation,
team building, resource management, capi-
tal preservation, etc.
Gyllenhaal pulls it off with a frightening
zest. He appears disturbingly gaunt and
mealy. He is creepy and disgusting. Yet in
equal parts, his absorption into the role
makes him utterly enthralling, with a dis-
turbing magnetism that cinematographer
Robert Elswith captures well. If more than a
handful of people see this film, look out for
the resultant best actor Oscar buzz.
SLEAZE
By Jake Coyle
TORONTO Dan Gilroy, writer-director of
the Los Angeles noir Nightcrawler, knew
his star, Jake Gyllenhaal, had entered an
adventurous new phase as an actor. But he
still didnt foresee the sudden emergence of a
hair tie.
One day he goes, Can I put my hair up in
a bun? recalls Gilroy. And youre looking
at him like, Oh my god, hes putting his hair
up in a bun.
In Nightcrawler, which opens in theaters
Friday, Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, one of
the more fascinating cinematic creatures of
recent years. Hes an LA drifter whos any-
thing but aimless. He spends his days on the
Internet, soaking up the motivational lingo
of corporate America, and his nights scav-
enging in the Valley. Coyotes were an inspi-
ration. With wide-eyed wonder and cutthroat
ambition, Lou discovers the sordid business
of freelance videography for local TV news,
filming murders, fires and fatal car crashes.
The bun (which Gilroy, supportive of his
actor, acknowledges was briefly a political
football) is only one detail that further
inflates Lous unique creepiness, but its a
telling one. Its an example of Gyllenhaals
eagerness for experimentation and newfound
confidence as an actor.
Theres a big part of me that just stopped
taking things so seriously, says
Gyllenhaal. Part of me was like, (sniffing)
That smells good. Lets go.
Nightcrawler, a darkly comic,
enthrallingly disturbing portrait of our uni-
versal appetite for lurid tragedy, marks a high
point in Gyllenhaals maturation. Afew years
ago, crossing 30 and coming off a few regret-
table films like the big-budget Prince of
Persia, the Donnie Darko star resolved to
return to trusting his instincts.
It wasnt too difficult for me to say: I need
to start listening to that instinct again. I
need to start reading and looking around for
what inspires me, he says. That doesnt
mean just work. That means life in general.
There were a lot of changes that happened as
a result. I left Los Angeles and moved to New
York. I spent a lot of time with my family,
more time than I ever had. I made a lot of
changes in my life.
In an interview shortly after
Nightcrawler premiered at the Toronto Film
Festival, Gyllenhaal exudes earnestness and
ease. Part of it is simply feeling like my
own man, he says. Gyllenhaal, 33, now
views many of the directors he works with
Prisoners director Denis Villenueva,
Antoine Fuqua (who recently directed the
boxing drama Southpaw with the actor) and
Baltasar Kormakur (the upcoming mountain
climbing thriller Everest) not paternal-
istically, but like cinematic brothers.
It was like freedom, he says of the shift.
There was more play.
In Gilroy, a longtime screenwriter (The
Bourne Legacy) and first-time director,
Gyllenhaal says he found a creative soul
mate he was willing to do anything for.
Gyllenhaal lost considerable weight for the
role, and in one scene, he was so carried away
that he punched a mirror, injuring his hand.
Hes made a conscious decision to go for
unconventional material that challenges him
and challenges the audience, says Gilroy,
brother of Michael Clayton director Tony
Gilroy and husband to Renee Russo, who co-
stars in Nightcrawler as local news produc-
er. Hes one of the most fearless actors
alive. I dont think hes afraid of failure. I
think hes afraid of mediocrity.
This period for Gyllenhaal started with
David Ayers LA police thriller End of
Watch and was followed by a turn as an
obsessive detective in the kidnapping drama
Prisoners. Gyllenhaal experimented with a
tic for the character, who blinks erratically.
I tried it and it just felt right, he says.
Ive never worked with anyone that was
walking a tightrope like Jake had to walk,
says Russo of Gyllenhaals Nightcrawler
performance. He wasnt eating and he was
always hungry. He had to be so focused. That
is such a difficult role and he made it look so
easy. You dont want to look psychotic, com-
pletely. On the contrary, Gyllenhaal who
clearly relished the character says, gig-
gling, I love Lou. The things he says! The
actor happily spouts chunks of Lous dia-
logue at length, like, Who am I? Im a hard
worker. I set high goals and Ive been told
that Im persistent.
The scene comes from not an office job
interview, but a scrap metal yard Lous just
tried to steal from. Gilroy calls Lou an
extreme expression of todays job market
and what choices young people are forced to
make to make their mark in the world and to
sustain themselves.
In Gyllenhaals eyes, Lou is a warped
superhero, tailored to todays times.
The things that he gets away with are
extraordinary, Gyllenhaal says. Hes a suc-
cess story. This is the ultimate success story
for today.

LOS ANGELES Si nce pl ayi ng t he
lucky-unlucky lottery winner Hurley on
Lost, Jorge Garcias career has moved
along nicely from Alcatraz to Hawaii
Five-O and upcoming big-screen movies.
Its logical that he might indulge him-
self in, say, a fast car or pricey wristwatch.
But to think that is to badly misjudge the
man and, if you happen to see him decked
out on Halloween night, youll understand
why.
Oh, man, do I admit this? Garcia said.
I always wanted to have an Elvis jumpsuit
made and always found reasons not to do
it. But getting the job on Five-O, I said,
OK, Im doing it.
Specifically a $3, 700 Dragon jump-
suit a white version with colorful drag-
ons embroidered front and back from a
costume design company that also offers,
among many others, the Burning Love and
Al oha from Hawai i versi ons for El vi s
impersonators and admirers like Garcia.
If the custom-tailored suit arrives before
Halloween hes definitely wearing it, said
Garcia, 41, a fan of the holiday as demon-
strated by his Instagram postings. It would
also be a nice way to mark Fridays episode
of Hawaii-Five-O, in which his charac-
ter, Jerry Ortega, has a featured role.
Conspiracy theorist Jerry has been spy-
ing on a suspicious bookstore and it turns
out theyre also spying on him, Garcia
said. Perhaps he poked his nose in where
he shouldnt.
This season represents Garcias move up
from recurring guest star to series regular
on Hawaii Five-0, the revamped version
of the 1968-80 police drama.

ants, corporations and investors.
With it already taken, that limits
options for others, she said. The
continued momentum and the economy
is strong; all factor into rent prices.
The potential spark of construction
may already have started. The Box
project broke ground long before
securing a tenant and Wilson Meany
recently announced plans to begin
construction on its first building of
210, 000 square feet at the transit-ori-
ented Bay Meadows project in San
Mateo. Several other significant proj-
ects are expected as well, according to
Colliers.
Still, other experts are skeptical this
trend will continue, including Bruce
Bean, owner of The Trafton Group, a
commercial real estate services compa-
ny.
I cant believe rates will continue
upward; I still think were going to
plateau at some point, he said.
As long as theres pressure of
demand on a limited amount of office
space, Ken Constantino of Alain Pinel
Realtors in San Mateo continues to see
prices continuing to edge up until at
least the end of 2015.
I dont see that waning, he said.
Notably, without the influence of the
especially high rents in the Palo Alto
and Mountain View submarkets, the
average asking rate for San Mateo
County is still a record-breaking
$3. 80 per square foot a month, which
increased by 2. 98 percent from the
previous quarter, according to
Colliers.
The vacancy rate for the Peninsula
ended at 8. 64 percent, a fairly substan-
tial drop from last quarters rate of 9. 39
percent, which is also the lowest level
seen since the dot-com days. San
Mateo County, which is more heavily
impacted by the slower Northern
Peninsula submarkets, closed the quar-
ter with a 10. 74 percent rate, only a
nominal improvement from last quar-
ters 11. 11 percent, but the sixth con-
secutive quarter with declining rates,
according to Colliers.
Vacancy rates cant get much
lower, Bean said. Theres just no
more space available, so people are
going to be stuck with what theyve
got.
Another interesting thing to note is
that medical and dental practices are
starting to get taken over by the tech
companies, oftentimes when the med-
ical and dental companies leases are
up, he said.
Other activity this past quarter
included Ring Centrals 84, 416 square
foot lease at 20 Davis Drive in
Belmont and Convivas 34, 764 square
foot move to 989 E. Hillsdale Blvd. in
San Mateo, according to Colliers. The
sale of 701 Gateway Blvd. in South
San Francisco and Bay Center in San
Mateo were also big purchases during
this time, according to Jones Lang
LaSalle.

council imposed height limits, devel-
oper Legacy Partners nixed a subter-
ranean parking in favor of 174 surface
spaces and 114 individual residential
garages.
The new design is 46 percent smaller
and does not create any new impacts so
the certified environmental impact
report is sufficient.
At the last public hearing, several
speakers praised the scaled-down
design but a few wished it still had the
greater density. The Sierra Club in par-
ticular said it cannot support the
revised project and in a letter to the
city reiterated that is dismayed it
doesnt meet minimum standards for
transit-oriented development.
We were hoping that the original
280-unit Transit Village would be large
enough to encourage Caltrain to possi-
bly increase service to the San Carlos
train station but doubt that the reduced
plan will do so, the club wrote in a
Sept. 29 letter.
In its response, the city said the
project could have more smaller units
with fewer bedrooms to still meet the
height and location limitations but
that might not increase the popula-
tion.
The Sierra Club also objected to the
city allowing the developer to drop the
number of affordable units required
from 15 percent to 10 percent and set
the affordable rent levels at the
higher end of the accepted range, par-
ticularly because the reduction in scale
might mean major cost savings.
The city said it did not want to risk
litigation by the developer and cannot
require affordable units in a rental proj-
ect, only impact fees.
The revised development plan will
include transit subsidies of $20 per
month for each resident during the first
year followed by 50 subsidies of $20
per month for one year on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
The city will also require the devel-
oper to fund installation and mainte-
nance of up to 70 evergreen trees along
the rear of seven buildings for 25 years
with a portion on the railroad berm to
the east of each building.

Menlo Park police are searching for
three men in their early 20s suspected of
attempting to undress and sexually
assault a woman early Thursday behind a
building on El Camino Real, police
said.
At about 12:47 a.m. Thursday, Menlo
Park officers responded to a report about
an attempted sexual assault in the rear of
an office building in the 100 block of El
Camino Real, according to police.
Awoman in her 20s told officers she
was taking trash out to a commercial
dumpster enclosure when three men
inside it threw her to the ground and
started pulling at her
clothing to disrobe
her, police said.
When the victim
screamed the three
suspects fled, after
which she called
police and was later
transported to
Stanford Hospital
with injuries that were not life threaten-
ing, according to officers.
Police were not able to find any of the
suspects following an extensive search
of the area.
The woman described the three men as
Hispanic, in their early 20s, each about
5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about
130 pounds, one wearing a white shirt
and white tennis shoes and the other two
possibly wearing dark sweaters and
shoes.
From an investigation, police learned
that the victims co-worker had seen the
man in the white shirt loitering in the
area prior to the attempted assault and
the suspect left after the co-worker con-
fronted him, police said.
Anyone with information about the
suspects or who recognizes the white-
shirted suspect in the police sketch is
asked to contact Menlo Park police at
(650) 330-6300 or the anonymous tip
line at (605) 330-6395.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A situation will be out
of your hands. Despite your help and caring, someone
close to you will be faced with difculties. Quiet
support will be a welcome response.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You have a
unique way of looking at things. Where some see only
problems, you see solutions. Get-togethers will lead to
a stimulating discussion and an interesting offer.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Extra cash can
be made. Professional gains will improve if you
make a move. New opportunities, contracts or smart
investments will prove to be very lucrative.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You will receive mixed
signals from someone close to you. Talk it out until you
are sure you are both in agreement. Working together
will help x the problem.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Make sure that any
donation you make is legitimate. Anyone can print out
brochures or make soliciting phone calls. It is up to you
to do your research before you help.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you feel like partying,
host one. If you use your imagination, you will entice
diverse, interesting people to accept your invitation.
Some amazing connections will be made.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont criticize others.
Chances are, you are not privy to all of the information
required to make a judgment call. If you show interest,
perhaps you will be included in the ne details.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to
offer, so dont be too shy to share your beliefs and
concepts with a broad range of people. What you
offer will lead to a proposal.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be prepared to face
opposition. You have to express your point of view
clearly if you want to win your case. Vague promises
will not persuade others to follow you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Romance is highlighted. If
you are single, someone special is out there waiting
for you, and if you are already committed to someone,
now is the time to turn up the heat.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All eyes will be on you.
If you make the most of your time in the spotlight,
you will end up in a higher-paying line of work. Your
knowledge will attract partners.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Its human nature to want
more, but if you are constantly in pursuit of something
else, you wont have time to appreciate what you
already have. Stop and smell the roses.

the property for three generations.
Elaborate headstones, many from the late
1800s and early 1900s, line the nearly 8-
acre burial site marked by an ornate mau-
soleum housing John and Abby Parrott.
Descendants of the couple have slowly
begun to surround them after being laid to
rest over the last 150 years.
Yet there remain some unmarked graves of
those who were likely poor during their
time and possibly unintentionally aban-
doned. These graves and a few headstones
outline a portion of the cemeterys edge that
has slowly grown lush with heritage trees.
Kathy Wade has followed in her fathers
and grandfathers footsteps as a caretaker of
St. Johns Cemetery and oversees at least
two other cemeteries in the Bay Area. Wade
said she enjoys tracking down the families
of those who are buried at the historic San
Mateo cemetery and getting a glimpse into
their pasts.
Theres a couple components of my job
that are more enjoyable, and one is being
able to talk to the families, learn a little bit
more about their history, what their fami-
lys position was in the community, how
they came to California or San Mateo and
why. And the other part is helping them
research the genealogy and discover things.
Thats really enjoyable and a lot of fun, you
learn more about the local history of San
Mateo, Wade said.
The city has developed around the ceme-
tery that is little known to those who dont
seek it out at the dead end of Oregon Avenue
behind Aragon High School.
St. Johns is very hidden. It definitely
surprises people to find a cemetery in this
neighborhood. Its been given a lot of titles
over the years, from secret garden, to hidden
sanctuary, to San Mateos private cemetery.
Theres all kinds of different names and
labels that have been put on it, Wade said.
Abby Parrotts legacy
The small site stems from Abby Parrott, a
devout Catholic who was known for her
altruism toward the San Mateo community,
said Mitch Postel, executive director of the
San Mateo County Historical Association.
Abby in particular was a saint, Postel
said. After her husband died in the 1880s,
she opened her home to tramps going up
and down El Camino Real. She would feed
all these people, she might have as many as
100 of these vagabond types at her estate at
a time. And she would serve them the same
kind of food as she would serve the most
sophisticated people she would entertain.
The property now belongs under the
umbrella of the Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of San Francisco and, although
a portion of the cemetery was set aside sole-
ly for Catholics, it has since been intermin-
gled with people of all faiths, said Wade and
Tom Ames, who is on the cemeterys 11-
member Board of Trustees.
The property itself, when Ms. Parrott
donated it, was originally donated to St.
Matthew Catholic Church [of San Mateo],
but she did so with a provision that it would
be for more than just Catholics, she wanted
to take care of the community, Wade said.
Differences in grave markers
Theres a stark divide between some of the
gravesites, with the Parrotts mausoleum
reflective of the familys affluence in the
community contrasted against simplistic
crosses of those Wade said could likely have
barely afforded funerals. During the ceme-
terys formative years, and because Abby
Parrotts wishes were for it to be open to all,
some would bury their loved ones by paying
year to year, Wade said. Initially, some fam-
ily members would tend to the graves them-
selves, but as time and people passed and
payments stopped, Wade said the area has
been difficult to maintain.
The cemetery continues to steadily sells
plots, however, some sold generations ago
remain vacant, Wade said. Often people pur-
chased multiple plots for family members
and as the decades passed, some were forgot-
ten about or descendants are unaware theyre
entitled to the land, Wade said.
With websites like Ancestry. com and
genealogy research more accessible than
ever, Wade said shes been able to track
down people who may not know their full
lineage. And by the same technology,
sometimes they find St. Johns, Wade said.
There are families who more than 100
years ago, got a family plot and still have
space; which was very customary at that
time. So were dealing with third genera-
tions of families, Wade said. Because of
genealogy [research] these days, people
find us and find out their grandmother or
someone was there. And may find out that
some [graves] were unmarked and some rem-
edy that.
For a keen eye wandering through the
cemetery, its easy to discern the older
graves as city codes concerning the head-
stone sizes have changed, Wade said. There
are even a few monumental mason compa-
nies spanning generations and some pro-
ducers who visit St. Johns can tell who
manufactured an older tombstone simply by
eyeballing the craftsmanship, Wade said.
As St. Johns Cemetery is a tribute to the
legacy of Abby and John Parrott, so too are
the caretakers and creators of the grave-
stones. Wade said she continues to seek out
families who have roots at the historic site
and vacant plots that could allow them to
rest with loved ones.
I think that gives families, individuals,
tremendous amounts of comfort, Wade
said. So even though maybe they cant get
in the same plot or be next to them, for a
small cemetery like this, to still be in the
same cemetery, descendants can go to one
spot and visit, one spot and pray, one spot
and explore history.

HISTORY
Cemetery. But as the disease continued to
spread and events unfolded, the young
boys parents were soon overcome with
fear they acted prematurely.
Some time passed and an adult caught
the disease and he went into a coma. But
then he revived. And the parents of the lit-
tle boy were horrified that they had a
funeral too soon, Postel said. So they
re-exhumed the casket and in fact. the
body had turned over in the casket.
Mans best friend
The Woodside Store dates back to 1854
where Dr. Robert O. Tri pp, who fi rst
flocked to the area in search of gold, built
a store that offered supplies to settlers in
the area.
Until his death in 1909, the legendary
owner of the historic shop was known to
always have a large dog accompanying
him, Postel said.
Now a museum, the stores haunting
stems from the more recent experiences of
a historical association employee.
One stormy afternoon, it was a Sunday
around 4 oclock, I got a telephone call
from our site manager at the Woodside
St ore and she sai d she was qui t t i ng,
Postel said. She said, Ill tell you what
happened, but youre never going to see
me again.
The empl oyee was casual l y wal ki ng
through the store and entered the empori-
um, which is set up as though it were still
a part of the 1800s, Postel said. It wasnt
unusual for neighborhood dogs to some-
times enter the old building so Postel said
he wasnt initially surprised when the
woman told him she suddenly came across
a large canine.
She said that it disappeared before her
eyes, right in front of her, it just dis-
solved. Then, she walked into the theater
area where we have photos of the founder
Dr. Tripp and she was looking at one of the
photos of Dr. Tripp, Postel said. And in
the picture, she saw Tripps dog. and it
was the same dog she saw [vanish. ]
Draped in blue
The Moss Beach Distillery thrills with
i t s wel l -document ed haunt i ng t hat has
at t ract ed t he TV show Unsol ved
Myst eri es, psychi cs and curi ous cus-
tomers.
The legend of the Blue Lady courses so
st rong even current empl oyees of t he
coastside restaurant say they experience
the supernatural powers of the 1930s mur-
der victim.
Always dressed in blue, a young woman
is said to have fallen in love with a hand-
some and dangerous piano player at the
speakeasy formed in 1926.
The love-struck woman was already mar-
ried, nonetheless, she would arrive at the
restaurant night after night dressed in blue
to meet her lover.
One evening, the illicit couple went for
a walk on the beach and when the sun rose,
she was found stabbed to death in her blue
dress. Her lover, slightly bruised, survived
and the husband was never heard from.
The Blue Lady ghost is said to now
peacefully haunt the distillery in search of
her lover.
Levitating checkbooks and chairs, loud
footsteps roaming empty halls, strangely
moved liquor bottles, taps on the shoulder
and boxes stacked behind doors of an
empty room are said to be proof of the
Blue Ladys presence, according to the
General Manager Beverly Anolin, who has
worked at the distillery for 20 years.
Documented since at least the 1970s,
recent supernatural events at the distillery
are perhaps the most alarming.
There was a couple, a family, maybe a
month or two ago and they were taking
pictures in one of the dining rooms. And
one of the pictures is of a couple, so he had
his arm around her shoulder, Anolin said.
But when you looked at the picture, there
was no woman there. He was just stand-
ing there with his arm around nothing.
The customers immediately showed it to
one of the servers, so there was no time for
t hem t o Phot oshop t he eeri e pi ct ure,
Anolin said.
Although the Blue Lady attracts cus-
t omers and has al ways been fri endl y,
Anolin said she learned the ghost doesnt
take kindly to being brushed aside.
We had a strange fire back in 2010. We
have an image of the Blue Ladys face that
was hangi ng i n t he bar area t hat was
replaced by a TV. So we had to move it
and as the person put it in storage, there
was a freak fire in front of my desk,
Anolin said. Being that I was the one to
decide to put her in storage, I decided not
to do that. So she hangs in our reception
area instead.
Anol i n sai d t hankful l y no one was
i nj ured and al t hough t he fi re l i kel y
stemmed from a florescent light bulb in
her office, the timing of the incident and it
being right before Valentines Day makes
it her favorite haunting.
While trick or treating and Halloween
costume parties only span a night or two,
Anolin said the Blue Ladys year-round
hauntings are a rich part of the property.
Shes defi ni t el y somet hi ng t hat s
attached to the building and with prohibi-
tion and it being a speakeasy back in the
day, its just some great history, Anolin
said. Whatever is with us, is definitely
somet hi ng t hat doesnt mean t o cause
harm or fear. Its just part of our experi-
ence, part of who we are here.
