Martins Beach negotiations grow stagnate


State considers options to reopen contested property, billionaire wants to trade
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the year nears an end, so too does the


states deadline to cooperatively negotiate
with the wealthy Martins Beach property
owner whose effort to keep the public from
visiting the crescent shaped strip of coast
has incited two court cases and recent legislation.

Jerry Hill

On Friday, the State


Lands Commission will
review the status of its
attempt to secure an
easement along the contended property and
reopen the beach that
was once accessible to
the public for nearly a
century. Per legislation

Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
the SLC has until Jan. 1,
2016, to negotiate access
or consider using eminent domain an authority the government
agency has retained for
decades but never actually
leveraged.

Hill said he felt it critical to not let the


property just south of Half Moon Bay set a
troubling precedent throughout the state.
If we were to allow a person of wealth to
purchase a beach, then every beach in
California could become private at some
point in time, because theres so much
wealth today in fewer hands, Hill said.

Seybert named Redwood City mayor


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

John Seybert was appointed to a two-year


term as mayor in Redwood City Monday
night on a 5-2 council vote.
Councilwoman Diane Howard nominated
Seybert, first elected to the council in 2009,
for mayor and new Councilwoman Janet
Borgens nominated longtime Councilman
Ian Bain, who was appointed to the council
in 1998 and won a seat on it in 2003.
He has the knowledge, energy, heart and
humility to do the job, Howard said about
Seybert before the council voted.

A hedge fund has approved the conditions California


Attorney General Kamala Harris set forth for the acquisition
of six hospitals controlled by Daughters of Charity including Seton Medical Center in Daly City.
The hospitals will now be controlled by BlueMountain
Capital and be rebranded Verity Health System.
The deal also includes Seton Coastside in Moss Beach,
two other hospitals in Santa Clara County and two others in
Southern California.
Longtime industry executive Mitchell Creem will be
Veritys chief executive officer.
Verity will proudly continue the mission of care begun
by the Daughters of Charity more than 150 years ago,
Creem wrote in a statement. I am extremely pleased and

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

To heed the call of public workers wishing


to live in the community they serve, South
San Francisco officials will consider policies laying the groundwork for building
more affordable workforce housing.
The South San Francisco City Council
will meet during a special session
Wednesday, Dec. 16, to discuss clearing the
path for construction of more reasonably
priced homes designated for police, fire-

fighters and other city workers.


Officials are interested in potentially
tweaking existing policies or passing new
ordinances to better address the housing crisis plaguing the city and region. The council will consider an effort to make construction of affordable housing more lucrative for
developers, under a proposal to reduce the
amount of below-market residences required
when the city subsidizes a portion of a project.

The bizarre bazaar that drew
Rabinowitz and other curious clientele
Sunday was the Morbid Anatomy
Museum Holiday Flea Market offering gifts both frightful and festive.
In the dim light of a pair of golden
chandeliers, about a dozen vendors displayed their horrific wares: pieces of
human skulls, a wide variety of taxidermy and earrings made from muskrat
jaws.
One
vendor,
Divya
Anantharaman, stood by her display of
two-headed taxidermied birds complete with Santa hats.
Joanna Ebenstein helped open the
museum in 2014 as an extension of an
art project on anatomical history and
artifacts. Initially, Ebenstein said she
had to hide her odd obsession from her
co-workers at a childrens book publishing company.
I didnt want them to know I was
into all this scary death stuff, she
said. The museum hosts a wide range of
events like taxidermy classes, lecture
series and film screenings. But
Ebenstein said the flea markets are the
most successful.
People like me dont want to buy
normal Christmas stuff, she said.
The flea markets have proven so
popular they had to be moved from the
museums basement to a larger space
around the corner after the wait to get
in reached over two hours last spring.

Creating a downtown in Belmont


City Council, Planning Commission host study session on Village Specific Plan
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In working to set the stage for a more


centralized downtown while keeping
Belmonts quaint character, the City
Council and Planning Commission will
host a joint study session Tuesday, Dec.
15, to discuss the Village Specific Plan.
From creating more affordable housing
to improving the pedestrian experience
and traffic flow, the comprehensive planning document will guide the future of the
citys currently disjointed downtown.
The area roughly surrounding the intersection of Ralston Avenue and El Camino
Real includes the Caltrain station, Twin
Pines Park, City Hall and the U.S. post
office. Its an area thats arguably underutilized with several empty buildings, surface
parking lots, minimal brand recognition
and is ripe for new opportunities.
Currently, some folks arent even sure
where downtown Belmont is and thats
telling, Vice Mayor Charles Stone said
in an email. We really dont have a destination that draws everyone in town
together. Theres a way to create a place
like that and not only keep, but strengthen, the village charm of Belmont.
The community will have another
opportunity to expand on the suggestions
made during the first public workshop in
October with city staff aiming to incorporate the Belmont Village Specific Plan
into the citys General Plan update.
During the workshop, community members noted examples that would be suitable
models for Belmont to follow such as
Laurel Street in San Carlos, Burlingame
Avenue, as well as the downtowns of
Menlo Park, Healdsburg and Los Altos,
according to a staff report.
The specific plan will help address some
of the barriers that have detracted from a

more cohesive downtown, such as smaller
lots and the lack of presence, said
Councilman Doug Kim.
Whats been lacking is any identity in
our commercial zones along El Camino. If
you drive along El Camino Real, you
wont notice a single memorable thing
about Belmont, except possibly the
Caltrain station. We can do better than
that and build something that represents
our unique personality, Kim said in an
email.
Creating a more vibrant commercial district should involve centralizing an active
space where people attend civic events,
participate in recreational opportunities,
dine and shop, Kim said.
The City Council identified the plan as a
priority early last year and expert consultants have suggested incorporating more
housing in the area that staff has broken
into four main quadrants running the
Caltrain corridor and Ralston Avenue.
During the study session, the public can
break into small groups and express their
ideas for improvements while evaluating
the strengths, issues, challenges and
opportunities in the area.
As cities across the Peninsula strive to
balance the impacts of an influx in jobs
paired with a lack of housing, particularly
affordable options, Belmont must consider appropriate locations to redevelop.
In Belmont, theres very few opportunities to build housing for all sectors of
our economy, but El Camino is our real
obvious chance to do something that
touches a lot of positive policy goals,
Kim said, noting valuable proximity of

transit infrastructure like Caltrain.


Stone, who proposed redeveloping cityowned lots near El Camino Real and Hill
Street to provide workforce housing for
teachers or city employees, agreed having
residents nearby to shop locally can greatly contribute to an areas success.
Housing is an important part of making
a downtown work, Stone said. It really is
a win-win when you can provide much
needed housing and, in doing so, help catalyze a burgeoning downtown area.
Eventually, the city will undergo an
environmental impact report covering the
entire General Plan as well as the document
guiding downtown. Still in the early
stages, officials are encouraging the public to participate in shaping the vision for
Belmonts future decades.
Creating the right conditions for a
vibrant and dynamic downtown village
will not only help provide for economic
development opportunities, but will help
create a gathering place for folks from all
walks of life in Belmont and give the town
a new sense of identity, Stone said.
Having the public involved in this
process will ensure we hear as many viewpoints as possible. I encourage everyone in Belmont to participate, and stay
up to date on whats happening.
The study session begins 6:30 p. m.
Tuesday, Dec. 15, at City Hall, One Twin
Pines Lane, Belmont. Visit www.planbelmontv illage.com for more information.

Trump at center stage, Cruz


is in spotlight at GOP debate
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Donald Trump will be


standing at center stage, but Ted Cruz will be
in the spotlight at Tuesday nights
Republican presidential debate.
The Texas senator is challenging Trumps
lead in the kickoff Iowa caucuses, and he has
the money, campaign infrastructure and conservative appeal to compete deep into the
GOP primary season. Those assets now
make him a target for his rivals, most
notably Trump and Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio.
Trump and Cruz have been getting along
for months, and that has protected the senator from the harsh criticism the businessman has flung against other opponents. But
signs of a split have emerged in recent days,
with Cruz appearing to question Trumps
judgment at a private fundraiser, according
to audio obtained by The New York Times,
and Trump calling Cruz a little bit of a
maniac.

than two weeks after 14 people were fatally
shot in San Bernardino.
The Second Amendment and gun violence

Thompson. He noted he is both a gun owner

a Foster City resident, Kelleher moved to the
East Coast after the threats were made but
was later extradited to face trial, Wagstaffe
said.
The two men have a history dating back to
the 1980s and 1990s, when Courshon represented Kelleher on several criminal cases.
Kelleher stabbed Courshon in the back at
his San Mateo office in August of 1997 following a verbal dispute, but the defense
attorney recovered from his injuries.
Kelleher was found incompetent to stand
trial for the stabbing in 1997, but later
pleaded no contest in 1998 to assault with a
deadly weapon.
He served one year at Atascadero State
Hospital and was sentenced in 1999 to three
years in prison. He then remained in a courtsupervised conditional-release program for
several more years.
Kelleher, who has a previous strike for the
stabbing, could face up to 8 years in prison,
according to Wagstaffe. He is scheduled to
return to court on Jan. 4 at 9 a.m. for sentencing.

Americans want to get tougher with IS


By Ken Dilanian and Emily Swanson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

President Barack Obama, right, delivers remarks after attending a National Security Council
meeting on the counter-Islamic State campaign accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden,
left, and U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter.

WASHINGTON After terrorist attacks at


home and abroad, more Americans than ever
but still less than half support sending U.S. ground troops to fight the Islamic
State, according to a new Associated PressGfK Poll. A large majority also want a clearer explanation from President Barack
Obama about his strategy to defeat the
group.
The percentage of Americans who favor
deploying U.S. troops to fight IS militants
has risen from 31 percent to 42 percent over
the past year in AP-GfK polling, although it
isnt clear whether those respondents favor
a small contingent or a larger ground force
that might engage in another protracted
Middle Eastern war. Other national surveys
in recent weeks have found similar or
greater support for American ground troops.
Obama recently dispatched about 50 special operations forces to coordinate the
fight in Syria, adding to the more than
3,000 troops already in Iraq. But he and

most other politicians oppose sending a


large American contingent to augment the
U. S. -led coalition air campaign. Most
Republicans running for president have not
called for that, either, although Donald
Trump recently said he would support
10,000 troops, a figure originally floated
by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
has pledged to keep American troops out of
Syria, saying she would resist sending
forces to fight Islamic militants even if
theres another terrorist attack within the
U.S.
In the poll, 56 percent of Americans said
the U.S. military response to the Islamic
State group has not gone far enough, up
from 46 percent since October 2014.
Six in 10 Republicans, but only about 3
in 10 Democrats or independents, support
sending ground troops, the poll showed.
Analysts say the public desire for more
action reflects growing anxiety over the
Islamic State after its attack in Paris, and
the shootings in San Bernardino carried out
by a couple apparently inspired by the
group.

Obama vows to hit IS harder,


says commandos now in Syria U.S. looking at ways to better

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack


Obama on Monday vowed to accelerate the
U.S.-led military campaign against the
Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq,
implicitly acknowledging that progress
has been too slow as the extremist group
expands its reach with deadly attacks
beyond the Middle East.
Speaking at the Pentagon after meeting
with his National Security Council, Obama
revealed that a group of American special

operations commandos has begun working


with local fighters in Syria to tighten the
squeeze on Raqqa, the extremists nominal
capital. He cited this as an example of
aggressive new action, in addition to an
intensified bombing of the oil infrastructure in Syria that provides much of the
Islamic States revenue.
The administration announced in late
October that Obama had approved sending
up to 50 special operations troops to Syria
on the first open-ended mission by U.S.
ground forces in Syria.

screen would-be immigrants


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration is reviewing procedures for vetting


would-be immigrants, with an eye toward
examining applicants online presence, to
close security gaps in the U.S. visa system,
the White House said Monday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest
said the Homeland Security and State departments have been asked to review the process
for screening people who apply for visas

and to return with specific recommendations.


The Homeland Security Department said it
is specifically reviewing policies on when
authorities at U. S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services can look at social
media posts as part of the vetting process
for would-be immigrants applying for certain visas.
I think the presidents top priority here
is the national security and safety of the
American people, Earnest said.

Law enforcement
saves lives in times of crisis
Editor,
Many thanks for the quick response and

The San Carlos dog


park is in the wrong place
Editor,
Let me get this straight. The San Carlos
City Council voted to reduce the hours of the
City Hall Dog Park to a mere 13 hours for
ve days a week and eight hours on Saturday.
Closed Sunday. So that is only 73 hours per
week that the residents and businesses next
to it have to put up with the barking plus
the gift of no barking on Sunday. On Sunday,
the park will be open to the public, with
locked gates, muddy ground and the unabated
smell of feces in the air. Lucky us ... just the
place where one would go to seek a bit of
respite.
The one question councilmembers/proponents failed to ask themselves was: Would I
want the dog park next to or across from my
house? If not, they made the wrong vote.
An $80,000, hugely divisive mistake. Bravo
to Councilman Matt Grocott for admitting
the dog park location is and was a bad decision. Hes got guts ... and integrity. The rest
of you need to wake up, hear the barking and
smell the feces. Its location, location, location!

Exclusion
Editor,
Donald Trumps suggestion that all
Muslims be excluded from the United States
solely on the basis of their religion will
likely be popular with, and be a sad commentary on, the majority of the Republican
Party. I would warn any people reading this
regardless of party afliation that history
will view your beliefs harshly if you mindlessly support this modern day version of
the Chinese Exclusion Act. Signed into law
in 1882 by what history regards as one of
our worst presidents, Chester A. Arthur, that
law is still considered to this day a stain on
American honor, similar to the internment
of lawful U.S. citizens of Japanese descent
during World War II.

Madison not the voice


of the Republican Party
Editor,
Reading Mr. Guerreros letter in the Dec. 1
issue of the San Mateo Daily Journal makes
me wonder how he comes to the conclusion
that Mr. Madison speaks for us, San Mateo
County Republicans.
I have met Jonathan personally and have
read some of his columns. He is personable,
a very nice person and very articulate, but I
have never thought of him as being our
partys spokesman.
I do not think that writing a column and
espousing Republican leanings makes you
the voice of a party. I may be wrong. I do not
think that The Donald is our spokesman
either ... God, I hope not!

Good people with guns


stop bad people with guns
Editor,
Thank you for printing the letter from Mr.
Charles Tooth (Gun violence and gun protection in the Dec. 8 edition of the Daily
Journal). His letter states truths about gun
violence which are often unpleasant for
some to accept. For example, parts of
Chicago are riddled with gun violence
though the city has very strict gun control
laws.
As for his remarks about the president and
other ofcials (including Sen. Feinstein who
admits to carrying a concealed handgun),
once again Mr. Tooth nails it. These ofcials
who give speeches deploring the right for
law-abiding citizens to possess rearms for
personal protection then leave the venue in
their armored car surrounded by people with
guns are hypocrites.
Over and over again, the news tells stories
of failed government protection. The
Tsarnaev brothers werent prevented from
bombing the Boston Marathon, Capt.
Hassan committed mass murder on an Army
base, the San Bernadino killers compiled
their armory under the noses of the authorities undetected.In the area of identity theft,
20 million federal workers and contractors
had their personal information hacked by the
Chinese. This is just a small fraction of the
government failures which have caused harm
to Americans.
There is no law which can be enacted that
will prevent people from trying to protect
themselves and their families.

Planning commissioners
served public interest
Editor,
I wanted to thank San Mateo Planning
Commissioners John Ebneter, Pamela
OLeary, Eric Rodriguez, Dianne Whitaker
and Chair Charlie Drechsler for the patience,
objectivity and fairness they showed in the
last session on Tuesday night regarding the
Bridgepointe ice rink. According to the
Planning Commissions own handbook,
planning commissioners, like others who
are charged with conducting the publics
business, must do so in the public interest.
By their line of questioning; their willingness to pour over the massive amounts of
materials shared by the application and other
parties, question numbers and plans that
were presented to them; and listen to repetitive points made by an exceptionally large
public audience, they demonstrated their personal integrity and their respect for the
elected positions they hold. Their 5-0 vote
against the recommendation to amend the
Bridgepointe Master Plan and to keep the
land use as ice rink and not change it to
retail use as the developer is requesting
affords no questioning as to where the public
interest lies.
Their recommendation will next be
approved or rejected by the City Council.
According to the City Council guidelines,
members of the City Council shall in turn
put constituents rst at all times. I am sure
that many San Mateo residents and business
owners will join me in hoping that they do,
just as the planning commissioners did.

Business brief
Yahoo facing more pressure
from frustrated shareholders
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is facing shareholder pressure to pursue other alternatives besides a complex spinoff of its Internet operations while CEO Marissa Mayer
struggles to revive the companys revenue growth.
The demands from SpringOwl Asset Management and
Canyon Capital Advisors reflect shareholders frustration
with Mayers inability to snap the company out of a
financial funk after three-and-half years on the job.
Mayer hoped to placate investors with last weeks
announcement of a revised spinoff, but the companys
stock has slid 6 percent since then. The shares fell 32
cents to close Monday at $32.59.
SpringOwl, a New York hedge fund, has sent a 99-page
presentation to Yahoos board that calls for the company
to lay off 9,000 of its 10,700 workers and eliminate free
food for employees to help save $2 billion annually.
Canyon Capital, a Los Angeles investment firm, wants
Yahoo to sell its Internet business instead of spinning it
off.
Yahoo has warned the spinoff could take more than a
year to complete, a time frame that Canyon Capital called
simply unacceptable after Yahoo spent most of this
year preparing to break off its $31 billion stake in
Chinas Alibaba Group in an attempt to avoid paying
taxes on the gains from its initial investment of $1 billion.

NEW YORK After an indecisive


day, stocks turned around in the last
minutes of trading Monday and managed to end with modest gains.
Last week the market had its worst
drop since mid-August, and for much of
the day it looked like the losses would
continue. Near midday the Standard &
Poors 500 index hit a two-month low.
But oil prices recovered from last
weeks rout and the broader market rose
over the last hour of trading, finishing
at its highest levels of the day.
The Dow Jones industrial average
picked up 103.29 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,358.50. The S&P 500 index
gained 9.57 points, or 0.5 percent, to
2,021.94. Nine of the 10 sectors on the
S&P 500 finished higher, though most
of the gains were small. The Nasdaq
composite index added 18.76 points, or
0.4 percent, to 4,952.23.
Early in the day the price of oil fell
below $35 a barrel for the first time
since early 2009. However oil recovered and rose about 2 percent, breaking
a streak of six straight losses.
U.S. crude gained 69 cents at $36.31
a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a
benchmark for international oils, fell a
penny to $37.92 a barrel in London.
The gain sent oil companies broadly

higher. Exxon Mobil rose $1.69, or


2.3 percent, to $76.03 and Chevron
added $2.89, or 3.3 percent, to $89.33.
Consumer products maker Jarden
Brands agreed to be acquired by competitor Newell Rubbermaid. The cash
and stock deal would create a conglomerate that owns brands like Paper Mate,
Sharpie, Elmers, Rubbermaid and
Calphalon.
The deal is worth at least $13.2 billion, or $60 per share. Jarden stock
added $1.41, or 2.7 percent, to $54.09.
Newell Rubbermaid shares fell $3.13,
or 6.9 percent, to $42.15.
Natural gas prices plunged to the
lowest level since September 2001 as
warm weather continues to erode
demand for home heating. The falling
price hurt natural gas companies.
Range Resources sank 89 cents, or 3.9
percent, to $21.86 and Southwestern
Energy slumped 57 cents, or 9.7 percent, to $5.33.
Natural gas fell 9.6 cents, or 4.8 percent, to $1.894 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Stephen Schork, an independent analyst and trader, said industrial demand
for natural gas in the U.S. and from
Canada has tumbled. That means the
biggest remaining source of demand is
for consumers who use gas to heat their
homes. But its been a very warm winter so far.
This weathers going to persist

through the rest of this month,


Schork said. However he said prices
will recover if it gets colder in January.
In other energy trading, wholesale
gasoline declined 2.6 cents, or 2 percent, to $1.256 a gallon and heating
oil lost 1.8 cents, or 1.6 percent, to
$1.128 a gallon.
Activist investor Daniel Loeb is
challenging the combination of chemicals makers DuPont and Dow
Chemical, announced on Friday. Loeb,
who owns a stake in Dow Chemical,
questioned the timing of the deal and
wants Dow CEO Andrew Liveris
removed. Dows board says it stands by
the proposal.
On Friday Dow and DuPont agreed to
combine into a $130 billion company
and then split up into three smaller
businesses. Loeb has pushed Dow to
split its specialty chemical and petrochemical businesses. Another activist
investor, Nelson Peltz, has been pushing DuPont to break itself up.
Dow Chemical lost $2.08, or 3.9
percent, to $51.29 and DuPont slid
$2.52, or 3.6 percent, to $67.92.
Mining companies and industrial
materials makers slumped, with Dow
and DuPont leading the way. Copper
miner Freeport-McMoRan dropped as
copper prices continued to slide.
Freeport shares skidded 44 cents, or
6.4 percent, to $6.46.

As rate hike nears, no details from the Fed


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Its not about what


it will do. Its about what it will say.
The worst-kept secret in the financial world is that the Federal Reserve is
all but sure Wednesday to raise interest
rates from record lows by a modest
quarter point.
On that, pretty much everyone
agrees. The uncertainty hinges on
what the Fed will say about how much
and how fast it expects to raise rates
again in coming months. A relatively
aggressive pace would contribute to
higher borrowing rates and risks slowing the economy. It could also roil
financial markets.

It isnt the message investors want


to hear. Theyd prefer for the Fed to
signal that it foresees a slow and gradual series of rate hikes, one that would
allow it to periodically assess whether
the economy was sturdy enough to
withstand higher rates.
The Fed has kept its benchmark
short-term rate near zero since setting
it there in 2008 to help save the financial system in the depths of the financial crisis. Now, with the job market
all but fully healthy, the central bank
is ready to begin lifting rates toward
normal levels.
Its policymakers have signaled in
recent months that they foresee an
incremental pace. But investors want
further assurance Wednesday.
One factor that could keep the pace

of hikes gradual is the absence of inflation pressures. In fact, inflation


remains stubbornly below the Feds 2
percent target level. This has resulted
from global economic weakness,
falling energy prices and a strong dollar, which makes imports cheaper in
the United States.
Investors will scrutinize the Feds
statement and Chair Janet Yellens
news conference afterward for clues to
what might cause an acceleration of
rate increases over the next year.
I am worried that the stronger dollar
and falling oil prices have masked
some underlying inflation pressures
which could surface quickly as we
move closer to full employment, said
David Jones, chief economist at DMJ
Advisors.

Fear and loaning: Investors are running from junk bonds


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The junk-bond market has something to really fear: fear
itself.
Investors are rushing out of junk
bonds, spooked by last weeks closure of a mutual fund focused on some
of the lowest-quality, highest-yielding bonds. The shutdown comes on
top of fears that a spike in bond
defaults is coming, and its led
investors to rush for the exits in a

corner of the market that generally


doesnt handle such things well.
The price drops are hitting many
investors who are new to junk bonds
and have little experience with the
notoriously volatile market. Since
the Federal Reserve slashed interest
rates to a record low in 2008,
investors have been creeping into
ever-riskier options in search of
more income. Theyve been attracted
to junk bonds, also known as high
yield, because they pay higher inter-

est rates than high-quality bonds.


The downside is that theyre issued
by companies more likely to default,
socking investors with losses.
In just two days, the central bank is
widely expected to finally raise rates
above their emergency low levels.
The policy has helped avert a deeper
downturn following the financial crisis, but critics say its also spread
hidden risks throughout the financial
system by making investors cavalier.

Giants make splash with 6-year deal for Johnny Cueto


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Even after signing


Jeff Samardzija to a large, long-term contract
last week, the Giants had their eye on Johnny
Cueto theyve been watching and admiring
him from afar for years.
The Giants upgraded rotation sure is taking shape, with the 2014 World Series
champions agreeing Monday with Cueto on
a $130 million, six-year contract to add

another top-tier starter.


Johnny has always
been, and rightly so, very
high on our list ... high
on our short list, Giants
general manager Bobby
Evans said. Hes somebody weve admired for a
long time.
Cueto is set to join a
Johnny Cueto
rotation led by left-hander
Madison Bumgarner and new addition righty

Jeff Samardzija, who was introduced Friday


after formalizing his $90 million, five-year
contract one week after the team lost out to
the Diamondbacks on Zack Greinke.
Cueto turned down a $120 million, six-year
contract from Arizona late last month. The
Giants began talks with Cuetos representatives during last weeks winter meetings in
Nashville.
Cuetos deal was pending a physical, the
team said, and contains a team option for 2022.
Cueto is expected to travel from the Dominican

Republic on Tuesday to the Bay Area and take a


physical Wednesday. He is likely to be introduced later this week at AT&T Park.
Under the agreement, Cueto can opt out after
the 2017 season and become a free agent
again. He is due to earn $46 million before the
opt out. If he exercises that clause, he would
hit the market one year before the 2018 free
agent class, which could include Clayton
Kershaw, Jose Fernandez and David Price.

game at Independence High School. Both running backs have gained over 1,000 yards for the Gators this season.

Dueling Gators
Athletes of the Week
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Sacred Heart Preps backfield joined elite


company Saturday night.
In the first half of the Gators 56-20 win
over McClymonds-Oakland in the CIF
Division III-A Northern California championship game at San Joses Independence
High School, junior running back Isoa
Moimoi dashed for 13 yards on a sweep play,
vaulting him over the 1,000-yard rushing
mark for the season.
Moimois benchmark run made him the

second Gators running back to surpass 1,000


yards. Senior Lapitu Mahoni, currently sitting on 1,652 yards, shot past the mark in
Week 9 against Aragon. The last time a pair
of Gators running backs rushed for over
1,000 yards each was in 2010 when Colin
Terndrup (1,486 yards) and Pedro Robinson
(1,013 yards) did so en route to leading SHP
to its first ever Central Coast Section title.
Now, Mahoni and Moimoi are fulfilling a
mission they embarked upon two years ago
when both were playing for the junior-varsity team at the time when they witnessed the
varsity squad reach the state championship

game for the first time in program history.


My freshman year, after my last game, me
and Lapitu had a vision of getting to state,
Moimoi said. So, weve worked really hard
the last two years to get to this point.
Mahoni and Moimoi who share Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week honors have
been tearing it up through the postseason,
most recently in Saturdays Nor Cal title win.
Perhaps the honor is more appropriately
attributed to the impression there cant be
one without the other.

rom 2001 to 2012, Serra was the


premiere football program in San
Mateo County.
Over the last three years, however, the
balance of power has shifted to South
County Atherton specically as the
Sacred Heart Prep football team is now at
the head of the class.
The Padres still play the tougher schedule
and it will remain that way as long as
they play in the West Catholic Athletic
League but when it comes to wins and
losses, no one can touch the Gators over
the last several years.
Hard to argue when the Gators punched
their ticket to the state championship game
for the second time
in three years with a
dominating 56-20
win over Oaklands
McClymonds
Saturday night.
Im not saying
SHP is the best in
the Central Coast
Section, though that
argument can be
made as well. What I
am saying is that
from South San
Francisco to Atherton and over to the
coast, there is no better football team.
And the one negative critics used to have
in their back pocket was the fact that the
Gators play in small-school divisions. But
they blew that theory out of the water by
beating Oak Grove, Los Gatos and
Bellarmine on their way to the 2014 CCS
Open Division title.
Since 2010, SHP has compiled a record of
53-9 with ve CCS championships in six
years, including the last four in a row. The
Gators calling card is a disciplined, execution-based offense, to go along with suffocating defense. They have also enjoyed a
cycle of athletes who would have starred on
any team in any league in the CCS.
The main question surrounding SHP has
been this: can it keep this up over the long
haul? With a school of about 600 students,
only a third of which are potential football

Commissioner rejects Roses plea for reinstatement


By Joe Kay and Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI Pete Roses application


for reinstatement to baseball was rejected
Monday by Commissioner Rob Manfred,
who concluded the career hits leader continued to gamble even while trying to end his
lifetime ban and would be a risk to the sports
integrity if allowed back in the game.
Rose agreed to the ban in August 1989
after an investigation for Major League
Baseball by lawyer John Dowd found Rose
placed numerous bets on the Cincinnati

Reds to win from 198587 while playing for and


managing the team.
In one of his first
major actions, Manfred
said in a four-page decision the career hits leader
admitted he has kept on
betting legally on horse
racing and professional
Pete Rose
sports, including baseball. Manfred upheld the conclusions of the
Dowd report and said MLB obtained additional evidence not available to Dowd: a
notebook of betting records from 1986 kept

by
Rose
associate
Michael Bertolini.
In short, Mr. Rose has
not presented credible
evidence of a reconfigured life either by an honest acceptance by him of
his wrongdoing, so
clearly established in the
Rob Manfred Dowd Report, or by a rigorous, self-aware and sustained program of avoidance by him of all
the circumstances that led to his permanent
in eligibility in 1989, Manfred wrote.
Manfred also said Rose has never seri-

ously sought treatment for Attention


Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and
Oppositional Defiant Behavior, conditions
he said in his 2004 book had afflicted him.
Mr. Roses public and private comments,
including his initial admission in 2004,
provide me with little confidence that he
has a mature understanding of his wrongful
conduct, that he has accepted full responsibility for it, or that he understands the damage he has caused, Manfred wrote. I am
also not convinced that he has avoided the
type of conduct and associations that originally led to his placement on the permanently ineligible list.

Life is a parade for Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Theres nothing like ending a season with a


parade.
That was the honor bestowed upon the
Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball team
Monday, as the Tigers celebrated their CIF
Division IV state championship with a
parade interweaving through three campuses,
including its own.
The 14 varsity players, coaches and other
team staff riding in golf carts and a lead pickup truck were escorted along the parade route
by Belmonts Police Department and Fire
Department to an upbeat soundtrack and
under a clear, blue sky no less.
Beginning in the parking lot of the Notre
Dame de Namur Theatre, the parade started at
the east end of Laxague Drive and made its way
through the parking of Notre Dame
Elementary School, lined by scores of the
grade-schools students. Then turning into the
high school campus, the parade was greeted by
upwards of 450 Notre Dame-Belmont students
along the way, many of whom waved blue and
gold pom-poms as the team passed by.
Its awesome, Notre Dame senior Jess
Beering said. My school, everyone coming
together, thats really awesome.

gered by a horrific baseball injury his freshman year. While playing with the junior varsity baseball team in 2014, a collision at home
plate left Moimoi with a fractured fibula.
After missing a good amount of time on the
gridiron later that year as a sophomore, he
returned for SHPs final six games, serving
nearly exclusively on special teams through
the undefeated CCS Open Division championship run. This year, obviously, has been a
different story.
Hes my cousin, but I look at him as a
brother, Mahoni said. Its good to see him
doing good.
Mahoni fell just shy of the 100-yard mark
for the fourth game in a row Saturday, gaining
97 yards on 16 carries while scoring three
touchdowns. Through four postseason games,
the senior has totaled 552 rushing yards.
It doesnt matter who gets the ball,
Moimoi said. Were going to block for each
other. We play as a team. This is all a team
effort.
That it was. The two-pronged ground attack
allowed for all the other elements of the
Gators game to fall into place. The Gators, in
mounting a 42-14 lead by halftime, ran 43
plays while scoring on all six of their possessions in the first half. Moimoi accounted for
17 first-half carries and Mahoni totaled 11.

The duos consistency allowed the SHP


defense to find its footing after a pair of costly
missed assignments during McClymonds first
possession. After SHP took a 7-0 lead on
Moimois 1-yard off-tackle touchdown run, the
Warriors offense quickly exploited a vacant
middle in the Gators defense.
After SHP linebacker Andrew Dashbach met
McClymonds first play at the line of scrimmage for a zero-sum run, Warriors quarterback
Eric Coleman hit Derrick Purvis for a 23-yard
gain; McClymonds also picked up 15 yards at
the end of the play on a SHP personal foul
penalty. On the next play, junior running back
Jerrell Alberty sprinted straight up the gut for a
24-yard score to tie it at 7-7.
But then the SHP run game gave its defense
plenty of time to recoup. On the Gators ensuing 10-play, 64-yard drive with Mahoni and
Moimoi combining for eight carries they
ran 3:38 off the clock, punctuated by a 3-yard
score by Mahoni to give SHP the lead for
good.
The Gators defense reciprocated by forcing
McClymonds to punt 1:32 later, allowing the
offense to close out the opening quarter with
an eight-play, 80-yard drive; the final seven
plays were carries by Mahoni or Moimoi, with
Mahoni pounding in a 3-yard score.
SHP quarterback Mason Randall opened up

During Mondays post-parade ceremony in


the concourse outside the teams home digs of
Moore Pavilion, Belmont Vice Mayor
Charles Stone bestowed a proclamation on
behalf of the city to Tigers head coach Jen
Agresti. The fourth-year coach then addressed
her team, thanking them for all their hard
work over the course of the five-month season, while reminding her players just how
timeless an achievement was the championship season.
For the rest of your lives, when you walk
into this gym with your family, with your
kids youre going to be able to look up at
that wall and see what youve accomplished,
Agresti said during her speech. And not
many people are able to say that.
Three of the teams star players then
addressed the crown in turn. Beering opened
by thanking the student body for its support
throughout the season. Junior Tammy Byrne
then addressed her teammates, including four
departing seniors Beering, Jenna Spini,
Caitlin Comaroto and Katarina Warburton.
There is nothing that will ever compare to
this family that weve built over the last few
years, Byrne said during her address.

the air attack from there en route to completing
9 of 16 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns. And the defense was nearly flawless
after the early miscues, holding McClymonds
to 267 total yards and not allowing another
touchdown until the final play of the third quarter, when the game was already out of reach at
49-20. The only other McClymonds score in
the game came on an 85-yard kickoff return by
Purvis midway through the second quarter.
Now, Mahoni and Moimois vision from
freshman year has become a reality. Reaching
the state championship game was a goal
shared by many of their current teammates,
especially the core of seniors who were sophomore call-ups on the 2013 team when the
Gators fell 27-15 to Corona del Mar in the CIF
Division III finale.
We made a promise to each other in the
locker room (after that game) that wed get
back here, SHP senior defensive tackle Zane
Elsafy said. Its kind of a Cinderella story
right now, were so ecstatic.
Now, with a chance to capture SHPs firstever state title Saturday night in the CIF Open
Division III-A bowl game at Rancho BernardoSan Diego, the 2015 Gators look to do justice
to Mahoni and Moimois vision by etching
their own first in the program history books.

CUETO
Continued from page 11
A 29-year-old right-hander,
Cueto went 11-13 with a 3.44 ERA
in 32 starts for Cincinnati and
Kansas City, which acquired him
in a trade July 26. He was 4-7 for
the Royals in the regular season
and 2-1 in the postseason, including pitching a two-hitter that gave
Kansas City a 2-0 World Series
lead over the New York Mets.
Hes not a guy that you relish
facing, Evans said. You have a
guy who has a chance to be an elite
presence in your rotation if hes
healthy and we can play good
defense behind him and use our
ballpark to our advantage. Johnny
has upside beyond his 2015 final
numbers.
Bumgarner,
Cueto
and
Samardzija will be joined in the
rotation by Matt Cain and Jake
Peavy. Chris Heston, who pitched
a no-hitter last season as a rookie,

league roster with his role to be
determined during spring training.
Were going to very much need
Cain and Peavy at their best,
Evans said. Hopefully with these
two significant additions it gives
us a balance of five guys that can
give us the starts and innings we
need to protect our bullpen and
give us the best chance within our
division to compete for the division. Thats the goal.
Cain said in an email that adding
Samardzija and Cueto was huge
for our team and that he respects
their ability to pitch deep into
games.
Im looking forward to being
in the rotation with these guys,
he said. Its great to know well
have a solid rotation in the
upcoming years.
Samardzija agreed Dec. 5., less
than a day after Greinke joined NL
West rival Arizona on a $206.5
million, six-year contract. He is
eager to help the Giants compete
for another championship in an
even year 2016 after San

Earlier that first week of

Tomsula disagrees 49ers were overconfident


By Janie McCauley

Monday. No. 1, we have no right


to overlook anyone. Number two,
in the NFL, I dont care if youre
14-0, you better not overlook anyone. I dont see that as a factor. And
again, its a group that comes to
work and they work. But, I didnt
see that. I saw a game where we didnt, and I dont use this word a lot,
but we didnt execute. I didnt see
an effort problem.
When it came to execution,
among the most glaring concerns
was quarterback Blaine Gabbert
taking a franchise-record tying
nine sacks.
The numbers are not good. We
didnt play well, Staley said. It
wasnt that we overlooked, I felt
like in the game, we just didnt
give our best effort. Thats not
anything on the coaches, its not
just on players. Its everybody. Its
collectively. It says just as much
about me as it does about your leaders. I didnt do a good enough job

SANTA CLARA Jim Tomsula


begs to differ with left tackle Joe
Staley and linebacker Ahmad
Brooks that the 49ers overlooked
Cleveland in Sundays rock-bottom loss to the Browns.
Still, the question begs to be
asked: How could a team with one
road win possibly be overconfident?
The first-year coach planned to
speak informally with the players
about their concerns following the
embarrassing 24-10 loss at
FirstEnergy Stadium that allowed
Cleveland (3-10) to snap a sevengame losing streak. The Niners (49) traveled to northern Ohio having
won their first road game in six tries
the previous Sunday at Chicago and
looking to build some momentum
for the final three games.
Instead, San Francisco flopped.

Af t e r wa r d,
Staley noted:
We cant take
anyone lightly.

position to take
anyone lightly.
B r o o k s
thoughts were:
Joe Staley
Maybe
we
took them for granted. ... Maybe
we got a little big-headed this week
and thought that things were just
going to happen.
Tomsula insists he reinforced
those very ideas all week leading
up to the game about being prepared despite the Browns long
skid and 2-10 record entering the
matchup.
Id have to disagree with Joe on
that. Maybe he was speaking from
a personal note, I dont know, but
that was something that was
addressed all week, Tomsula said

was on Twitter to catch the nal few
minutes of the game. When it was
announced the Warriors had indeed
lost, I told my wife. Suddenly, you
could hear a murmur through the
line about the Warriors losing.

McManus misses kick

While it would have been fun to


see Golden State break the NBA
record of 33 wins in a row, along
with the prospect of an undefeated
Warriors team playing the
Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas
Night, its not a big deal they lost.
Despite there actually being a betting line of the Warriors going
undefeated this season, it wasnt
going to happen. What they can
now focus on is the grind of the
NBA season and the seasons ultimate goal: defending their championship.

By Arnie Stapleton

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you thought the pressure of the


winning streak was bad, it will be
nothing compared to the pressure
the Warriors will face in the playoffs. Because at this rate, if they do
anything but win another title, that
28-game winning streak will have
meant nothing.

DENVER Jack Del Rios decision to go for 2 was more of a nobrainer than a head-scratcher.
It initially looked like one of the
strangest coaching decisions of the
year when the Raiders went for 2 following a touchdown that put them
ahead by three against the Broncos
in the fourth quarter Sunday.
But Del Rio really had no choice
at all.
Long snapper Jon Condo had
injured his right shoulder while
recovering a fumbled punt moments
earlier in the fourth quarter of
Sundays 15-12 victory. Condos
backup, tight end Lee Smith, had a
cast on his snapping hand.
When Derek Carr threw incomplete, the Broncos needed only a field
goal to tie, but Brandon McManuss
hook let the Raiders off the hook
minutes later. After nailing all four of
his field goals in the first half, he
clanked a 49-yarder into the south
end zone high off the left upright.
Things like that come up during

the game, Del


Rio said, and
you made a snap
judgment.

the Raiders pay

passes. The bumbling offense
ended up wasting a historically
great first half by Denvers
defense, which allowed minus-12
yards.
Thats the best effort heading
into halftime by any defense in
nearly a quarter century, but Del
Rio walked away a winner in his
homecoming despite Oaklands
126 yards of offense.
By halting their eight-game losing
streak to their AFC West rivals, the
Raiders (6-7) kept alive their playoff
hopes while knocking the Broncos
(10-3) out of the top spot and behind
New England in the race for homefield advantage in the playoffs.

and make sure everybody was prepared. So it was just a frustrating


day yesterday.
So, what might motivate the
49ers for their final three games in
a lost year? San Francisco hosts
NFC North-leading Cincinnati
(10-3) on Sunday.
Just pride, Staley said.
Everybody has to have the same
mindset in playing for one another
not get in a position where
youre trying just to take care of
yourself. I think thats kind of
human nature for everybody in this
situation. The season didnt go the
way we wanted it to, so make sure
you take care of yourself and I dont
think thats really the correct
way.

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA One day after


not having a backup long-snapper nearly proved costly, the
Oakland Raiders could be in the
market for a starter.
Jon Condo suffered a dislocated right shoulder while recovering a fumble early in the fourth
quarter of Sundays 15-12 win
over the Denver Broncos.
Although Condo returned and
finished the game, Oakland
coach Jack Del Rio said that
tests Monday revealed a potentially season-ending injury. A
roster move could be coming
later this week.
Tight end Lee Smith, who is
listed as the teams backup longsnapper, is still recovering from
wrist surgery and was unable to
play after the Raiders scored a
touchdown.
With both snappers out and his
team leading by three points at
the time, Del Rio opted to go for
a two-point conversion that
failed.

Tigers star libero thanked the
community, coaches and athletics
staff, with a special nod to head
athletic trainer Christina Okuba.
In addition to Warburtons 537
digs on the season, several Tigers
reached key benchmarks en route
to the state title. Junior outside
hitter Katie Smoot, with 20 kills
in the state championship match,
surpassed the 500-kill plateau,
totaling 515 on the season. Byrne
recorded 14 kills in the match,
reaching 410 kills on the year.
Smoot led the team with 57 service aces, while Warburton reached
an even 50 by virtue of her four aces
in the state semifinal aka the
Northern California title match
Dec. 1 against Marin Catholic.
Beering led the team with 73 total
blocks on the season. And junior
setter Kristine Gese fell just shy of
the 1,500-assist plateau, totaling
1,482 assists, making her the most
prolific setter by far out of the
Central Coast Section this season.
Menlo-Atherton junior Kirby
Knapp was the only other setter in
CCS to record more than 1,000
assists this year with 1,024.
For the Notre Dame players, its
now back to the business of
school work, with finals beginning this week. Even with the season ending over a week ago, however, the Tigers historic achievement is still sinking in.
It just keeps getting better,
Beering said. I think were just all
sad we dont have practice anymore.

Crunch time for health law; Tuesday sign-up deadline


By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Rising premiums


and shaken faith among insurers have
cast a cloud over sign-up season for
President Barack Obamas health care
law, and now its crunch time again.
Tuesday is the deadline for millions
of uninsured procrastinators to sign up
in time for coverage to begin on Jan.
1. As the health insurance expansion
enters its third year, their decisions are
critical to its economic viability. A
surge of younger, healthier customers
could hold down premiums in a market
thats struggling to grow.
Medical costs of enrollees have
been higher than expected and total
enrollment remains low, said
Caroline Pearson, a vice president at
the consulting firm Avalere Health. If
participation is leveling off, then
plans may be stuck with a risk pool
that is not particularly balanced.
More than half of the health laws 23
nonprofit insurance cooperatives have
folded, and even some major industry
players have recently gone public with
doubts.
There have been bumps with the
health law, says business owner Rayna
Collins of Lincoln, Nebraska, but
overall she counts on it. Shes surprised, however, that many people she
knows have remained uninsured.
Its heartbreaking to think that
they could have affordable insurance,
said Collins. They think its like
going on welfare. One friend believed
incorrectly that insurers could still

turn down customers with pre-existing


health conditions, a practice barred
under the law.
Collins, a graphic designer, has had
to make adjustments. She switched
insurers for 2016 because the company
she was with left the market. Her premium will be about the same, after subsidies the law provides for private coverage. But her deductible will spike
from $500 to $2600.
Im getting less coverage for about
the same, and Im not happy with
that, Collins said. But I dont know
what I would do if I werent getting the
government subsidy. I was already
being priced out of health insurance
before Obamacare. The coverage
allows her to get regular preventive
care thats important for people like
her, in their early 60s.
The Obama administration says its
seeing a vigorous consumer response
this sign-up season, with more than 1
million new customers already.
All the evidence for us is that the
marketplace is strong, its vibrant,
and its growing, said Andy Slavitt,
head of the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, which runs the
governments major insurance programs.
Still, the administrations sign-up
target for 2016, the presidents last
full year in office, is modest: 10 million people enrolled and paying premiums at the end of the year, an
increase of about 10 percent.
Some important things for consumers thinking about signing up
for the first time, as well as for

those renewing:
Deadl i nes : Tuesday is the deadline
to sign up for coverage so it can take
effect on the first of the year. Its also
the deadline to make any changes to
existing coverage so they take effect
Jan. 1. Current customers will be automatically renewed Jan. 1 if they make
no changes, but they may save money
now by shopping for a plan with lower
premiums.

HOUSING
Continued from page 1
As the citys biotechnology cluster
helps drive a thriving local economy, more
workers are expected to flock to the city,
and the opportunity for business development is projected to outpace the construction of new homes, according to a city
report.
In light of the widening gap between
demand to live in South San Francisco and
existing housing stock, officials believe it
is necessary to ensure the city remains relatively affordable, the report said.
More housing is needed, and specifically more housing which is affordable to
working class families, said the report.
Loosening restrictions on how the city
is allowed to help pay for development of
for-sale affordable units could be one way
the city builds workforce housing, said the
report.
Currently, under the citys inclusionary
housing ordinance, any residential development comprised of more than four units
which receives financial assistance from
the city for construction is required to set
aside 20 percent of the project at an affordable rate.
Allowing the city to pay toward building
construction without requiring such a substantial portion of a development to be
reserved at an affordable price could be an
effective means of financing some cheaper
housing, according to the report.

HEALTH
Continued from page 17
and plan switches is Jan. 31, 2016. After
that, new enrollments and changes are only
allowed under special circumstances.
People who remain uninsured after Jan. 31
risk fines when they file their 2016 taxes.

HEALTH/LOCAL
Developers are typically reluctant to designate a significant portion of a housing
project at an affordable rate because it can
diminish their power to receive what they
consider an adequate return on their investment.
Under the current system, developers
may be reluctant to accept city financing
due to a disinterest in designating 20 percent of the entire development at an affordable rate.
In the instance of a 100-unit project, the
city would like to be allowed to contribute
construction of 10 affordable units, rather
than the building being entirely financed
privately and offered at market rate as the
developer looks to avoid the 20 percent
affordability requirement, said the report.
Under state law, the city cannot regulate
rental prices, but density incentives may
be offered to developers who are willing to
offer a portion of their project for an
affordable rate.
South San Francisco has a fund worth
almost $4 million which can be used to pay
toward construction of affordable housing,
according to the report, and expects that to
grow by nearly $2 million as officials prepare to sell property owned by the city.
Studies show it typically costs between
$288, 000 and $298, 000 to create an
affordable unit in the current market,
according to the report, so the city has
means to subsidize development of about
20 workforce housing units.
A recent survey of city staff showed 77.5
percent lived outside of South San
Francisco, and of those people, 35 percent
Fi nes wi l l s ti ng : The fines for people
who remain uninsured in 2016 have gone
up substantially. A study from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation estimates
that the average tax penalty will rise to
$969 per household, or nearly 50 percent.
The fines are one of the laws methods for
nudging healthy people to get insured.
Fines of $900 would put a serious dent in
most income tax refunds, and its enough
money to pay several months worth of

THE DAILY JOURNAL

indicated they would be interested in a


multi-room rental unit within the city borders, meaning about 85 workers desire an
opportunity for workforce housing.
The city also owns a variety of properties which could be leveraged to develop
more affordable units.
Last week, the council unanimously
approved construction of two buildings on
separate properties, one owned by the city,
which would add a combined 17 units to the
citys housing stock.
South San Francisco Unified School
District officials have also discussed building workforce housing on surplus property, and received a presentation last week
from the San Mateo County Community
College District on potential models for
developing such a project.
City officials have approached administrators from the school district regarding
the potential of a joint venture to build
housing for workers from both agencies,
but were received with lukewarm enthusiasm.
Another policy consideration to be
examined by city officials is hiking the
requirements for construction of condominium projects from the current minimum
of two units up to five units, as that would
encourage larger and more efficient developments, according to the report.
Building condominiums would help

make South San Francisco an affordable


place to live, as the units are typically
cheaper and more easily attainable for
first-time home buyers, according to the
report.
In other news, the council recommended
to approve hiring consultant firms to
assist city staff in processing a recent
development uptick.
BioMed Realty submitted an application
for construction of a biotechnology campus last month, more than one year ahead
of what was anticipated by officials,
according to a city report.
The project, entering its first phase of
construction, aims to build 500,000 square
feet of research and development space,
along with other flexible work environments and an amenity center at Gateway
Boulevard, east of Highway 101, and south
of Oyster Point Boulevard. The campus is
expected to cost roughly $170 million to
build.
The size of the BioMed campus, in conjunction with pending developments on
the Genentech property and other projects
throughout the city, enhances the need for
additional assistance, according to the
report.
The council will be asked to approve
spending $1.2 million from a fund comprised of fees collected through the development of new properties to hire the additional consultants.

like the former president has received, to major heart procedures, joint replacements and even some organ transplants.
In many cases, the nations most senior citizens are getting the same treatments given to people their grandchildrens age but with different goals.
Many elderly patients dont necessarily want a lot of
years, what they want is quality of life, said Dr. Clifford
Kavinsky, a heart specialist at Rush University Medical
Center in Chicago. They want whatever time is left for
them to be high quality. They dont want to be dependent on
their family. They dont want to end up in a nursing home.
Treatment for Carter, 91, has included surgery, radiation

BEACH
Continued from page 1
They could easily buy up every speck
of sand on Californias coast and we
cannot allow that to happen the first
time because once it does, it wont be
the last.
Hill said he was disappointed representatives for billionaire property
owner Vinod Khosla havent responded to the SLCs proposal to reinstate
access but remains hopeful in the possibility of an amicable solution.
SLC Executive Officer Jennifer
Lucchesi said she couldnt disclose the
price offered for the approximate 6.5acre easement that would allow the
public a path to access the beach;
however, the agencys entire budget
for land acquisitions throughout the
state is less than $6.5 million.
Yet its an endeavor that appears to
have grown stagnate as instead of
responding to the SLCs offer to purchase an access route, the billionaire
owner has made an improbable suggestion.

Property trade?
Representatives for Khosla, who
bought the contended property for
$32.5 million in 2008 before closing
it to the public shortly thereafter,
have suggested the SLC trade him for
another private beachfront site an
unlikely option for a public agency
with a limited budget and that currently doesnt own another comparable
property to exchange.
Furthermore, the proposal continues the core conflict, as youd trade
one private beach for another. That
makes no sense, Hill said.
In Khoslas attempt to privatize a
portion of the coast and deter the public from visiting, Martins Beach has
elicited heated debates pitting the
rights of private property owners
against the publics long-standing
ability to access California beaches.
Now the focus of two pending appellate court cases, the property could set
statewide precedence on how to interpret the state as well as federal constitutions.
Attorneys for Martins Beach
recently filed a brief explaining their
rationale for appealing the Surfrider
Foundation v. Martins Beach decision a case in which a San Mateo
County Superior Court judge held the
property
owner
violated
the
California Coastal Act. In that case,
the judge ruled Khosla altered how the
land was used by deterring the public
from visiting and should have first
secured a coastal development permit
before painting over signs, closing
the gate and hiring security guards.
His attorneys now argue Khoslas

First
Amendment
and
Fifth
Amendment rights were violated by
the lower court and that forcing him to
reopen Martins Beach without fair
compensation conflicts with the
Constitution.

Property rights
Khoslas attorneys did not return
requests for comment. However, in
their brief filed late last month, they
note the Surfrider suit could have lasting consequences.
This case will decide whether the
owner of concededly private coastal
property must obtain the governments permissions to exercise one of
the most essential of all property
rights: the right to exclude, according to the brief.
They also argue the lower courts
interpretation that the Coastal Act
requires Khosla to secure a permit
before making minor physical property alterations that discourage the public from visiting is as irreconcilable
with California law as it is with the
U.S. Constitution, according to the
brief.
Eric Buescher, an attorney representing Surfrider with the firm
Cotchett & Pitre, said Khoslas arguments are inherently flawed as hes
refused to participate in the public
planning process and applied for a
permit a procedure aimed at upholding private property rights and ensuring compliance with current laws.
Unlike the tech moguls argument
that Hills legislation conflicts with
the Surfrider case, Buescher said its
within the publics purview to ensure
current laws are upheld while also
crafting new regulations to correct a
particular injustice.
I dont see a conflict at all,
Buescher said. Its important when
the public participates in the preservation of their own rights.
While it could take years for the
cases to meander through the appellate court system, with some predicting the Surfrider suit making its way
to the U.S. Supreme Court, the SLC is
on a stricter timeline to negotiate
access.
Instead of selling an easement to the
state, Khoslas representatives have
suggested trading the entire nearly 50acre property in exchange for another
private beach the state either already
owns, or presumably, would purchase,
according to the SLC staff report.
Buescher said he wasnt privy to the
SLCs negotiations but finds it odd
that Martins Beach attorneys would
suggest trading the property for
another private beach, as the core disagreement is whether such a thing
should exist.
It seems kind of strange to me that
theyd be essentially swapping out
the same dispute from one geographical location to another, Buescher

said. The Constitution and rights of


the people are pretty clear: The people
in the state of California own all of
the property past the mean high tide
line and have the right to access those
lands. So I dont think theyll have a
lot of progress with that, but thats for
the [SLC] to hash out.
Lucchesi had no comment on the
pending litigation but noted SLC staff
incorporated suggestions derived from
a public forum hosted by Surfrider in
July. The proposed easement involved
a study of the mean high tide line and
would provide public access overlapping the existing Martins Beach
Road perpendicular to Highway 1.

Public access
Access would be similar to a public
park open daily from dawn to dusk, it
would provide parking and include
portable toilets and trash bins the
maintenance of which could be handled by a local public agency, according to the report.
Yet after three meetings, the last of
which occurred Oct. 15, the SLC has
not reached an agreement with the
property owner. No decision will be
made during the informational hearing Friday, however, the SLC a
three-member commission comprised
of the lieutenant governor, state
director of finance and state controller
must eventually decide whether to
pursue eminent domain in the publics
interest.
While the SLC continues its
process, the Coastal Commission is
working to compile a prescriptive
rights survey to establish how the
property has historically been used
and whether the public has acquired
access rights over time. Another factor affecting the matter is a lawsuit
filed by the Friends of Martins Beach.
In that case, a judge ruled against the
citizens group that tried to insist closing the beach violated the California
Constitution. Instead, the county
judge sided with Khoslas attorneys
who cited an 1800s Mexican land
grant as grounds for excluding the
public. That case is also pending an
appeal.
Further complicating the matter is
the fact that nearly 40 residences
occupied through long-term leases are
slated to expire in the next 10 years
and no one is sure whether those who
live at Martins Beach will have to
leave. As erosion has shifted the mean
high tide line and some residents have
noted the former parking lot isnt
what it used to be, theres much to be
considered in negotiating public
access terms.
Its complicated, Lucchesi said.
Nonetheless I think its pretty clear,
the public interest in securing public
access to and along this beach is
incredibly important.
