City weighs land use policies

Foster City Council to discuss Climate Action and General plans
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Just as Foster City officials are

poised to approve several critical
documents that will guide future
land use policies and sustainability initiatives, the City Council
may delve further in the coming
year by updating the Bayfront

communitys
long-standing
Master Plan.
Its known as one of the first
planned communities in the state
after founder T. Jack Foster outlined the vision for the city in the
1970s. Decades later, city officials have continued to update
guiding documents such as portions of the communitys General

Plan and for the first time will

consider enacting a Climate
Action Plan.
On Monday, Jan. 6, the council will convene to review the
Land Use and Circulation elements of the General Plan as well
as the nearly 200-page document
highlighting
sustainability
policies aimed at reducing green-

house gas emissions.

The city is striving to adhere to
state mandates by outlining several measures ranging from diverting waste from landfills to reducing vehicle emissions. The goal is
to reduce 2005 greenhouse gas
levels by 15 percent by 2020 and
by 80 percent before 2050.
There are a lot of things the

state does related to emissions

with their regulations on fuels and
car emissions. But really, the
effort to reduce greenhouse gas
needs all levels of governments to
do their parts, said Leslie
Carmichael, a consultant planner
with the city.

Pregnant highway seal sedated

Mammal en route to colony at Point Reyes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

After several failed attempts to

redirect a pregnant elephant seal
away from state Highway 37,
wildlife officials have sedated the
animal and loaded it onto a truck
bound for an established elephant
seal colony at Chimney Rock on
the Point Reyes National
Seashore.
Veterinarians confirmed that the
seal is healthy and in good condition. Using a blood test and an
ultrasound they also confirmed
that shes pregnant, according to
the Marine Mammal Center.
Center officials spent the morn-

ing attempting to nudge the adult

female seal away from Tolay Creek
back toward San Pablo Bay and the
open ocean beyond using a kayak
and noisemakers, but the animal
resisted their efforts.
It was quite an undertaking, however. The area around the creek is
muddy and the seal, which wildlife
officials described as healthy and
in good condition, weighs in at an
estimated 900 pounds.
The seal was initially reported at
about 1:15 p.m. Monday blocking
traffic in the eastbound lane of
Highway 37 near Sears Point and

Dogs eat crazy things: Vets

LEVITTOWN, Pa. A Philadelphia

around the globe, Indians are flocking

flying off the virtual shelves: Online
retailers say cow dung patties are selling like hot cakes.
The patties cow poop mixed with
hay and dried in the sun, made mainly by
women in rural areas and used to fuel
fires have long been available in
Indias villages. But online retailers
including Amazon and eBay are now
reaching out to the countrys everincreasing urban population, feeding
into the desire of older city folks to
harken back to their childhood in the

Some retailers say theyre offering

discounts for large orders. Some customers are asking for gift wrapping.
Cow dung cakes have been listed by
multiple sellers on our platform since
October and we have received several
customer orders since then, said
Madhavi Kochar, an Amazon India
spokeswoman.
The orders come mostly from cities
where it would be difficult to buy dung
cakes, she said.
In India, where Hindus have long worshipped cows as sacred, cow dung cakes
have been used for centuries for fires,
whether for heating, cooking or Hindu
rituals. Across rural India, piles of drying cow dung are ubiquitous.
Radhika Agarwal of ShopClues, a
major online retailer in India, said
demand for the cow dung cakes spiked
during the recent Diwali festival season,
a time when Hindus conduct prayer ceremonies at their homes, factories and
offices. On a recent day, ShopClues
website showed that the patties had sold
out.
Around Diwali, when people do a lot
of pujas in their homes and workplaces,
there is a lot of demand for cow dung
cakes, said Agarwal, referring to rituals
performed during the popular festival.
Increasingly, in the cold weather,
people are keeping themselves warm by
lighting fires at outdoor events, she
said, adding that people who grew up in
rural areas find the peaty smell of dung
fires pleasant.

Some fares for SamTrans paratransit bus

service are changing in the new year.
Paratransit riders can expect to see an
increase in one-way trip rates from $3.75 to
$4.25 starting Friday. SamTrans will also
see an increase from $2 to $2.25 for nonparatransit travelers starting Jan. 10.
Lifeline fares, available to low-income
customers, will remain the same.
In November, the SamTrans board of
directors voted to increase the fares as a necessary response to inflation costs for operating the bus system.
The board also approved a 10 percent discount for Clipper card customers, while passengers 18 years of age and younger now
qualify for a youth discount, SamTrans officials said.
The fare hike is the first of a series of
increases to restore fiscal health in the
agency, according to SamTrans officials. It
will be the first time since 2010 that fares
have been raised.
The next increase is scheduled to take
place on Jan. 1, 2019.

Man pleads not guilty to $150K theft
from elderly, disabled Belmont man
A man accused of defrauding his former
brother-in-law, an elderly and disabled
Belmont resident, of $150,000 pleaded not
guilty Monday to elder abuse, identity theft
and felony theft charges, according to San
Mateo County prosecutors.
Andrew Claude Higgins, 69, moved into
the home of the victim, a 79-year-old double amputee, in August 2014 after he got
divorced and lost his home, prosecutors
said.
Higgins was supposed to help the victim
with shopping and other tasks around the
house, and the victim gave him access to
his bank accounts to pay bills and make
deposits, prosecutors said.
Higgins was arrested after the victims
son discovered in April that more than
$150,000 was missing from 12 different
accounts, prosecutors said.
Higgins was ordered to return to court on
Jan. 7 for a status conference and Jan. 11 for
a preliminary hearing. Bail was set at
$150,000 and Higgins remains in custody.
The court ordered Higgins to avoid contacting the victim, prosecutors said.

Motorcyclist injured
in late-night collision
A motorcyclist remains hospitalized after
a collision on Ralston Avenue at the
entrance to Notre Dame de Namur
University Monday night, according to
Belmont police.
At approximately 11:30 p.m., a motorcyclist was heading west on the 1500 block of
Ralston Avenue. According to the motorcyclist, he was approaching the entrance to
the Notre Dame de Namur University, when
another vehicle, possibly a light sedan
similar to a Toyota Corolla, made a left turn
onto Ralston Avenue in front of him. The
motorcyclist attempted to stop but went
down, ending up near a landscaped area on

the west side of the university entrance. The

other vehicle continued east on Ralston
Avenue, according to police.
The motorcyclist called 911 on his cellphone and Belmont police and fire units
responded within two minutes. The motorcyclist, a 29-year-old male from East Palo
Alto was treated at the scene by Belmont
Fire Department paramedics and taken to a
hospital with injuries that were not life
threatening.
Investigators would like to talk to anyone who may have seen the collision or
either of the vehicles. The motorcyclist was
wearing a black helmet and dark clothing
and driving a red 2004 Honda CBR 1000
motorcycle. Anyone with information on
this case should call Belmont police at

BART fares to increase 3.4 percent

BART passengers can expect to pay more
for a ride in 2016 as fares are set to increase
around 3.4 percent starting on Friday.
The increase is part of an inflation-based
formula BART adopted in 2003 to assist
with the billions of dollars the agency
needs to keep the system running safely and
reliably.
Under the formula, fares will be increased
at the start of every even-number year
through 2020.
BARTs board of directors voted to dedicate all the money from the increases to its
top priority projects, including new train
cars, a new train control system and the
Hayward Maintenance Complex.
Fares were last raised at the start of 2014
with a 5.2 percent increase.
BART officials said the 2016 increase is
estimated to generate $15 million annually,
in addition to the $20 million the 2014
increase generated annually.
The minimum BART fare, which is currently at $1.85, will rise to $1.95 come
New Years Day on Friday morning.
Details on the planned increase are available at www.bart.gov/guide/titlevi along
with a chart indicating the increases per ride
in 2016.

Amid attendance attacks,

Rubio focusing on Iowa
By Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLINTON, Iowa Amid new criticisms about his Senate attendance

record, Marco Rubio says some of his
rival candidates are getting a little
desperate and a little nasty.
The Florida senator kicked off an
Iowa tour Tuesday, as a super political

after the November terrorist attacks in
Paris. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
also piled on during an Iowa stop,
questioning Rubios Senate attendance.
After a town hall meeting in the leadoff caucus state, Rubio said the ad from
Right to Rise isnt accurate, adding
that as a member of the Senate
Intelligence Committee he attended a
different briefing on the Paris attacks.
Asked about Christies comments, he
said the governor had been away from
New Jersey half the time.

The spacecraft measures sea surface heights, which indicate a thick layer of warm water when they are higher than

El Nios are linked to dramatic alteration of weather

California commission ruling that bans the company from
breeding captive killer whales at its San Diego park.
SeaWorld filed the suit in San Diego Superior Court on
Tuesday. It says the California Coastal Commission was
outside its authority when it made the ruling on breeding in
October.
The commission endorsed a $100 million expansion of
the tanks SeaWorld uses to hold orcas but included a ban on
breeding and prohibitions on the sale, trade or transfer of
the whales.

Rare winter flood

threatens Missouri
and Illinois levees
By Jim Salter
and Alan Scher Zagier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS A rare winter flood

pushed swollen rivers and streams
to virtually unheard-of heights
Tuesday, sparking widespread
evacuations and the transfer of
inmates from an Illinois state
prison as Missouris governor
activated the National Guard to
help divert traffic away from submerged roads.
The U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers said water from the rising Mississippi River and its tributaries threatened to spill over 19
federal levees, putting hundreds of
homes in jeopardy.
Record flooding was projected
in some Mississippi River towns
after several days of torrential rain
that caused sewage to flow unfiltered into waterways.
The Meramec River near St.
Louis was expected to get to more
than 3 feet above the previous
record by late this week.

At least 18 deaths in Missouri

and Illinois were blamed on flooding, mostly involving vehicles
that drove onto swamped roadways.
The river on Tuesday spilled
over the top of the levee at West
Alton, Missouri, about 20 miles
north of St. Louis. Mayor William
Richter ordered any of the towns
approximate 520 residents who
had not already evacuated to get
out of harms way.
In another eastern Missouri
town, Union, water from the normally docile Bourbeuse River
reached the roofs of a McDonalds,
QuikTrip and several other businesses. The river reached an alltime high Tuesday, nearly 20 feet
above flood stage.
Interstate 44 was closed near the
central Missouri town of Rolla,
and a 10-mile section of Interstate
70 was shut down in southern
Illinois before it was reopened late
Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds of
smaller roads and highways were
also closed across the two states,

and flood warnings were in effect.

clear.
In southern Illinois, the

Israels Olmert to become

The decision capped a seven-year
legal saga that severely undermined
the last serious round of peace talks
and propelled hard-line Prime

power.
In some ways, Tuesdays decision
was a success for Olmert. The fivejudge panel dismissed the most

and reduced his original prison sentence from six years down to 18
months. He is set to report to

prison on Feb. 15.

Gains in Iraqi city vindicate U.S.-led strategy

Suicide bombing kills 26

and wounds 45 in Pakistan
By Riaz Khan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PESHAWAR, Pakistan A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a government office in a northwestern Pakistani city on Tuesday,
killing at least 26 people and
wounding 45 in an attack claimed
by a breakaway Taliban group.
The bombing took place in the
city of Mardan, outside the regional office of the National Database
and Registration Authority, or
NADRA, which issues identity
cards, according to senior police
officer Saeed Khan Wazir.
Wazir told the Associated Press
that some of the wounded were in

critical condition at a hospital in

the nearby city of Peshawar.
A gunman opened fire and killed
a guard upon being asked to stop
for checking. Then he exploded his
suicide jacket, he said. Wazir said
if the attacker had managed to enter
the government office, he might
have killed many more people.
Mohammad Qasim told the
Associated Press from his hospital
bed that he went to the office to
receive his national identity card,
which is issued at age 18.
I was in a very happy mood
today. I told my family and friends
that I would receive my national
identity card, but I didnt know that
I would become the target of a

bombing, said Qasim, who had

bandages on both legs.
Shortly after the attack, a
spokesman for the militant Jamaatul-Ahrar group claimed responsibility for the bombing, calling it a
noble act to punish NADRA
because it extends support to security forces. The spokesman,
Ahsanullah Ahsan, spoke to the AP
by phone from an undisclosed location.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar split from the
Pakistani Taliban two years ago.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
condemned the bombing and
instructed authorities to provide
the best possible treatment for the
wounded.

Stop signs in San Carlos
Editor,
Im writing because I had a frightening near-miss with another car at
the intersection of Cherry and
Chestnut streets. About two weeks
ago, I turned onto Cherry Street from
Cedar Street, driving east, when a
black car that had stopped at the stop
sign on Chestnut Street pulled into
the intersection. Since this intersection is not designated a four-way
stop, I was almost at the intersection
with no idea of stopping. I was close
enough to the other car to see the
terror in the teenage girls face when
she realized that I was about to hit
her car. Fortunately, we both had
good reaction reflexes she
stepped on her brake and I was able
to swerve around her car without hitting it.
But, drivers in San Carlos this
is a warning that there are many fourway intersections that do not have
four-way stops. Please look four
ways before proceeding from a stop
sign.

Your chance to tell city

leaders about traffic concerns
Editor,
I can truthfully say I have attended
or had input into most of the meetings in San Mateo regarding what is
and what has been developed recently, and in all of those meetings,
developers and the city of San Mateo
stated that development would not
affect traffic in San Mateo negatively.
I remember one meeting (I believe
it was Kmart development) where it
was stated that the traffic would
improve after developing the property. The proverbial cow is out of the
barn and now its really affecting the
traffic in San Mateo, and guess what,
the city now wants to ask its citizen
advise on how to fix it. The article

I would love to attend the meeting,
but I no longer live in San Mateo. I

Breathing clean air is

not a privilege but a right
Editor,
I am 21 years old, and I am a resident of the city of San Mateo. I am a
volunteer for the Youth Leadership
Institute (YLI). I am also part of YO!
Mateo (Youth Organizing San Mateo
County), which is a countywide network. Housed under YO! Mateo, I am
involved with Project CASA
(Creating Access through SmokeFree Apartments), a campaign dedicated to advocate for smoke-free
multi-unit housing.
I am writing to you to ask for your
support for smoking ordinances that
prohibit secondhand smoking in
multi-unit homes. This is a very
important for me as part of San
Mateo County because I have firsthand experience living in a multiunit home. My family is affected by
secondhand smoke, including my
two younger brothers, my grandmother and my parents. Especially
for the youth and elderly of San
Mateo County, secondhand smoke
has significant effects on peoples
health, mainly in those who have
been diagnosed with a chronic disease such as asthma. Non-smokers
should not be victims to secondhand
smoke because breathing clean air is
not a privilege, but a right we have
as soon as we take our first breath of
life.
The Tobacco Education Coalition
has led efforts to support adoption of
smoke-free multi-unit housing ordinances in the following jurisdictions: Foster City, unincorporated
San Mateo County, Daly City,
Burlingame, San Mateo and
Belmont. Once again, we are asking
if you would support our smoke-free
multi-unit housing efforts.

El Nio is coming in a few months

and we need to be prepared. South
San Francisco had a program in the

Housing explained
by supply and demand
Editor,
Hardly a day passes when there is
not a story in a news outlets about
poor families, many with pretty fair
salaries, not being able to afford
rental housing on the Peninsula. Our
area, the San Francisco Peninsula, is
subject to a massive inflow of people who have found employment
here and who seek a place to rent
commensurate with their salaries. It
is really a matter of the age-old economic law of supply and demand.
Employment opportunities here are
developing at a much faster rate than
the supply of suitable rental units.
The Saunders family plight in the
Dec. 28 edition of the Daily Journal
(Hard lessons of the housing crisis
) is quite typical of the dilemma facing many residents, new and old.
In fact, there will be fewer and
fewer so-called affordable units in
the future. It is not economical for
building contractors to build them,
because the poor return on the
investment will not justify the construction in the first place.
I am sure that there are very few
stories of the need for affordable
housing in Manhattan. If you decide
to move there, be prepared to pay
top dollar for a rental, if you can find
one. Likewise, if you decide to live
on the Peninsula, do not expect any
bargains. There are not and will no
longer be any. Yes, it is the old law
of supply and demand. There is no
escape from it. The county supervisors and city councilmembers do not
have any answers either.
But they will talk about it endlessly.

istory records no more gallant struggle than

humanity against the truth. Ashleigh
Brilliant.
On Dec. 14, I read the guest perspective in our newspaper
by Hector Camacho who is a teacher and counselor and
who serves on the San Mateo County Board of Education.
He wrote about how California schools are underfunded by
$42 billion every year and try as we might as school
board members to address these critical issues, gross underfunding of the public education system continues to force
us to more hard choices in our districts.
Reading his perspective brought to mind a couple of articles that were published several weeks ago about how the
San Mateo Union High School District intends to spend
between $6 million and $8 million to install permanent
lights at athletic elds on the campuses of Aragon, San
Mateo, Hillsdale, Capuchino and Mills high schools. We
are told that the purpose, in part, is to grant athletes more
schedule exibility while balancing a full load of academics. In other words, football is so important that the
schools should adjust their
schedules to cater to the
football program. The
board president said:
Installing the lights will
allow the district to start
school later, which is better
for student health classes
could begin 30 minutes
later because students
(football players) would be
able to practice later in the
evening. Why is the game
of football so sacrosanct
that it is allowed to dominate high school education to such a great extent? Its the
All-American game; a sacred icon like the ag that
we dont dare criticize for fear of being labeled unpatriotic
or worse.
So the small gaggle of football players would have control over the school schedule for all students. As one advocate for the lights was reported to have said: You have the
opportunity to do something that affects youth today.
Yes, contribute to the possibility of concussion and other
injuries, which brings me to the most important reason
that money shouldnt be spent on lights or anything else
when it comes to football.
I began this column to discuss the issue of spending
money on eld lights and how night games disrupt adjacent neighborhoods, but it has provoked a much more critical issue. Anyone who believes that football should be
part of the high school experience ought to read the book
Concussion by Jeanne Marie Askas. Or maybe they
should watch the movie that opened on Christmas Day.
Frontline had a good series on the issue, also. After that,
it makes you wonder why parents who allow their sons to
play football arent accused of child abuse. Far be it for the
members of the school board or any other school ofcial
to favor deemphasizing the game possibly phasing it
out because no matter how many reasons football is dominating our high schools, none are worth it. Youd think
that those who are pushing for this eld lighting havent
heard about how the violence generated in a football game
can cause serious head injuries and even death.
One of the many studies reviewed in Askas book
informs us that the University of North Carolinas Center
for the Study of Retired Athletes reported that repeatedly
concussed NFL players had ve times the rate of mild cognitive impairment or pre-Alzheimers symptoms at an
alarming rate 37 percent higher than the average guy
walking down the street. The threatened and powerful NFL
calls the studies awed. Will the football hierarchy ever
own up to the severity of the problem?
There are many other, more important things that the $6
million to $8 million could be used for things that
would benet more students. Instead of concentrating on
football, shouldnt any available money be used for
improving the curricula or maybe increasing counseling
for those who need it? For instance, one concerned friend
suggested improved computer science, math, art and
music labs, updated textbooks and supplies, tutorial programs to help needy students. And he asked, Shouldnt
schools be more interested in spending money on intellectual growth rather than a sport like football where brains
are damaged?
The SMUHSD Board of Trustees will vote on this during
its Jan. 14 meeting at San Mateo Adult School, 789 E.
Poplar Ave., San Mateo).

The gains erased the markets losses
over the previous two days, when worries over falling oil and other commodities prices dragged down stocks.
That trend snapped on Tuesday as the
price of U.S. crude oil rebounded with a
2.9 percent gain.
Investors also drew encouragement
from better-than-expected data on consumer confidence and housing.
Both of those set us up nicely on a

Home prices up in October,

helped by solid job market
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Steady job growth, low

mortgage rates and tight inventories helped
fuel rising U.S. home prices in October.
The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20city home price index rose 5.5 percent in the
12 months ending in October, up from a 5.4
percent pace in September, according to a
report released Tuesday.
Home values have climbed at a roughly 5
percent pace during much of 2015, as strong
hiring has bolstered a real estate market still
recovering from a housing bust that triggered
a recession eight years ago. Home sales have
increased this year as the 5 percent unemployment rate has strengthened confidence
in the economy.
The U.S. housing market as a whole made

great progress in 2015, as the big and occasionally volatile bounce off the bottom we
experienced from 2012 through 2014 gave
way to a more stable and sustainable environment, said Svenja Gudell, chief economist at the real estate firm Zillow.
Rising demand, however, hasnt been met
with an increase in sales listings, causing
prices to rise much faster than inflation or
wages this year. This could limit the number
of first-time buyers coming into the market
next year. Still, many buyers are also benefiting from 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages
averaging less than 4 percent, making it
cheaper to borrow for a home. Mortgage rates
have historically been closer to 6 percent.
Borrowing costs are expected to rise shortly after the Federal Reserve this month raised
a key short-term interest rate for the first
time in nearly a decade.

Lately the markets have been

in commodity prices, and in particular, oil.

percent, while Frances CAC 40 gained

1.8 percent. Britains FTSE 100 rose 1
percent. Several markets in Asia
notched small gains.
The U.S. rally accelerated as
investors got a look at the latest batch
of U.S. economic data.
The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index increased from
the previous month, reflecting positive views on the economy and job
market.
Separately, a key gauge of home values indicated that U.S. home prices
climbed 5.5 percent in October from a
year earlier. Home values have climbed
at a roughly 5 percent pace during much
of 2015 as strong hiring bolstered the
real estate market, which still recovering from a bust that triggered a recession eight years ago.
Traders also welcomed a break in the
decline in crude oil prices.
Benchmark U.S. crude rose $1.06, or
2.9 percent, to close at $37.87 a barrel
on the New York Mercantile Exchange,
recovering after a slump Monday.
Brent crude, which is used to price
international oils, gained $1.17, or
3.2 percent, to close at $37.79 a barrel

DuPont moves ahead on

job cuts ahead of Dow merger
DuPont will cut 1,700 jobs in its home
state of Delaware and thousands more globally as it prepares for its merger with Dow
Chemical.
Dow and DuPont announced earlier this
month that they would join to create a giant
chemical producer that will eventually be
split into three independent companies.
At that time, DuPont announced a $700
million cost savings and restructuring program but did not specify how many jobs
would be impacted or where. DuPont CEO Ed
Breen sent a letter to employees Tuesday
informing them that approximately 1,700
Delaware positions would be eliminated in
the beginning of the year.
DuPont, which has been based in
Delaware for 213 years, said it would have
preferred to let affected employees know of
the news first. But it made the announcement now, amid the holidays, because it is
legally required to inform the state by the
end of the year of the local job cuts.

Consol Energy and Chesapeake
Energy were among the companies to
get a boost from the pickup in energy
prices.
Shares in Consol gained 37 cents, or
4.7 percent, to $8.24, while
Chesapeake jumped 51 cents, or 12.5
percent, to $4.58.
Lately the markets have been taking

In other energy trading in New York,
wholesale gasoline rose 4.3 cents, or
3.5 percent, to $1.276 a gallon, heating oil rose 3.9 cents, or 3.6 percent,
to $1.23 a gallon and natural gas
jumped 14.4 cents, or 6.5 percent, to
$2.372 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Precious and industrial metals prices
ended mixed. Gold slipped 30 cents to
$1,068 an ounce, silver rose 4 cents to

cents to $2.14 a pound.
Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10year Treasury note rose to 2.31 percent

In this day and age of fastbreaking and 3point shooting, the Hillsdale boys basketball team showed Tuesday night there is still
a role on the court for a dominant big man.
Hillsdale center Isaiah Cozzolino scored
10 of his teams first 17 points on his way
to a team-high 21 points in the Knights
67-54 non-league win over visiting Terra
Nova.
What made Cozzolinos performance even
better was the fact it was his first basketball
action in two weeks. In his first game back
from the Knights football team, Cozzolino
poured in 20 points.
He twisted his ankle in his following
game and was forced to sit until finally getting back on the court Tuesday.
Were trying to get Cozzolino back into
a rhythm of what were trying to do, said

Hillsdale coach Brett Stevenson. He shot

17 times. Those are high-percentage shots.
For us, thats a good stat.
Hillsdale (6-3) proved it is more than a
one-man show, however. Cozzolino was
just one of four Knights to score in doubles
figures.
Were pretty balanced, Stevenson said.
After Cozzolino got off to a hot start,
David Lopez took over. The senior guard
scored eight of the Knights final 10 points
of the first quarter and five of their 12 second-quarter points, finishing with 19
points for the game.
[Lopez] started almost every game for us
last year as a junior, Stevenson said. Hes
a tough guard.
Jordan Box added 11 and Taiga Schwarz
finished with 10 for the Knights.
Terra Nova (4-5) was led by Jared Milch,
who scored a game-high 24 points.

Rose Bowl doesnt get old for Stanford

By Dan Greenspan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Stanford has the Rose

Bowl routine down pat.
The Cardinal are doing it all for the third
time in four years starting with the trips to
Disneyland, Lawrys restaurant in Beverly
Hills, the Improv comedy club in Hollywood,
followed by media day at a downtown hotel
and the team photo at the stadium the day
before the game, and culminating with the
annual clash between Pac-12 and Big Ten
opposition on Jan. 1.
But Stanford players and coaches swore off
the idea that any Rose Bowl fatigue has set in.
Never gets old, I guarantee it, said defensive line coach Randy Hart, who is participating in his 11th Rose Bowl and 10th as a
coach.
Its probably a better feeling that youre a
fifth-year senior because you appreciate it
more, defensive back Ronnie Harris said.
That hasnt always been the case in recent

years at the Rose Bowl.

Southern California players privately
expressed their desire for a change of
scenery during a run of four consecutive Rose Bowl appearances from
2006-2009. Oregon running back
DeAnthony Thomas and receiver Josh Huff openly lamented the
prospect of heading back to
Pasadena in 2013 before ceding
control of the Pac-12 North to
eventual conference champion
Stanford.
Hart understands that fans might get
tired of making the same trip. It is not the
same for players and coaches, Hart said.
Reaching a top-tier bowl can lead to sustained success, with five of the eight College
Football Playoff participants having played
in a New Years Six game the previous season.
And if winning the Pac-12 leads to a berth in
the Rose Bowl instead of the CFP, so be it,
kicker Conrad Ukropina said.
Its where we set our goal, Ukropina said.

However, with the two CFP semifinals

being played on Dec. 31, the Rose Bowl does
seem to have been reduced in stature this
season. There is little national
media presence, and Tuesdays media
day was a noticeably sleepy affair
compared to previous years.
Its most colorful moment
came at the end of the hourlong session when Iowa running
back Jordan Canzeri posed for pictures while wearing a Christmas
wreath that had fallen off the wall
around his neck.
The preceding Bowl Championship Series
led to similar predictions of doom and gloom
for the oldest bowl game by forcing the Rose
Bowl to take teams from outside its traditional Pac-12-Big Ten arrangement and reducing
its prominence in years it did not host the
national championship, but Ukropina
remembers two of those games fondly.
Ukropinas father attended Washington
State, so he was rooting for the Cougars

The CFP semis a new New Years Eve tradition

By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Sometime

around 8 p.m. on New Years Eve, Rochelle
Carrasco and Jeremy Jehnsen will be having
their first dance as a newly married couple.
All eyes at the reception will be on them
for those few minutes no small feat since
theyll be having that dance in Lansing,
Michigan, around the same time as kickoff of
the Michigan State-Alabama matchup in the
College Football Playoff semifinals.
And most of their bridal party is, you
guessed it, Michigan State fans.
Im getting my moment, Carrasco said,
and then they can have their TV.
Out with the old traditions, in with the new.

The NFL might own Thanksgiving, the NBA

dominates the sports-watching landscape on
Christmas and bowl games have long been
part of New Years Day. Now, college football
is now trying to claim New Years Eve as
well, meaning plenty of people, including
those at the Carrasco-Jehnsen nuptials, will
be adjusting their end-of-year plans.
Including Thursdays matchups in the
Orange and Cotton bowls, the CFP semifinals are scheduled to fall on Dec. 31 eight
times between now and 2025. Those in
charge of the playoff are confident theyll be
a big draw, even if they compete with the ball
drop.
Frankly, these games would be a success if
they were played on the Fourth of July, CFP
executive director Bill Hancock said.

Its all part of what is now being called the

New Years Six this years lineup being
the Peach Bowl preceding the two semifinal
games on Dec. 31, then the Fiesta, Rose and
Sugar bowls on Jan. 1.
We wanted to bring them all back into the
holiday, Hancock said, noting that under the
Bowl Championship Series model the games
were more scattered.
This years early game, Clemson vs.
Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, should be
over long before midnight comes. But the
Michigan State-Alabama game in the Cotton
Bowl could stretch to midnight Eastern time.
And given that some 40 million viewers
watched New Years countdown programming

See PLAYOFFS, Page 15

against Oklahoma in 2003. The 2011 game

between TCU and Wisconsin came down to an
unsuccessful two-point conversion, prompting Ukropina to imagine a high-stakes
moment of his own in the Rose Bowl.
That was the year I was being recruited to
Stanford and thinking maybe this could happen (to me) someday, Ukropina said of the
Horned Frogs win. Now being able to play
in three of them is just an absolute dream
come true. Its still pretty surreal.
A Pasadena native, Ukropina will have
more than 70 friends and family in attendance
for Fridays game against the Hawkeyes. If he
gets the chance in the Rose Bowl to duplicate
his game-winning field goal against Notre
Dame, Ukropina said the emotions or magnitude of the moment would not get the best of
him.
I would really treat it no differently than
any other kick and hopefully it goes well,
Ukropina said.
And if it goes in?
Then it will be different, he said.

Like a parachute: Innerhofer
battles gate in wild downhill

SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA, Italy With Bode Miller

taking this season off, Christof Innerhofer has taken over
the reigns of the World Cup circuits most daring skier.
In a wild downhill that Adrien Theaux
won by a large margin Tuesday, Innerhofer
grabbed most of the attention by finishing
fourth after skiing halfway down the course
with a gate attached to him.
About a minute into his run, the Italian
got his left arm wrapped around a gate and
the bright fluorescent orange panel and
long pole caught onto his equipment.
After about 30 seconds, Innerhofer rid
Christof
himself of the pole but he carried the panel
Innerhofer
to the finish at speeds above 120 kph (75
mph) earning the Italian loud cheers from the home crowd.
Bode Millers no longer around so there needs to be another crazy guy, Innerhofer said. It was really at the limit and
very dangerous. I couldnt see and I was carrying the pole and
the panel. ... It felt like a parachute behind me.
Theaux won in 1 minute, 47.29 seconds on the dark and
steep Deborah Compagnoni course for a 1.04-second advantage over Hannes Reichelt of Austria. It was the Frenchmans
third career win.
David Poisson of France came third, 1.15 behind the
first podium result in the 33-year-olds World Cup career.
Innerhofer missed the podium by just 0.07 and Aksel Lund
Svindal finished seventh, ending his run of three straight
downhill wins.
This is not my style of downhill, Svindal said. This is
Innerhofers style.

The key to Hillsdales win was its
shooting. The Knights finished the
game shooting 60 percent from the

10 for 14 from the floor in the first
quarter and were 8 for 11 from the floor
in the third. Not coincidentally, those
were the Knights highest-scoring
quarters: they scored 22 in the first
eight minutes and had 19 in the third
quarter.
Despite all that, Hillsdale didnt put
the Tigers away until late. Terra Nova
scored the first five points to open the
game: a 3 from Ernesto Palacios and a
dribble-drive layup from Milch.
Hillsdale responded with six
straight points from Cozzolino. A
three-point play from Milch gave
Terra Nova an 8-6 lead with 4:48 to
play in the opening period, but that
would be their last lead of the game.
Hillsdale answered with an 11-0 run

Knights lead to 42-37 and it ended

Badet, a three-year point guard,

St. Louis has faithfully supported
the NFL and, in particular, the St.

that support.
Critics in St. Louis and elsewhere in

on ABC, NBC, Fox and CNN last
year, that could lead to some interesting remote-control choices as the big
moment nears.
There are still tens of millions of
people in the available audience at
home, said Artie Bulgrin, ESPNs
senior vice president of global
research and analytics.
The network also wants to count all
the viewers who arent at home.
Nielsen doesnt currently measure
them as part of its standard metrics,
but its providing a custom study for
ESPN of the audiences in bars and
restaurants numbers the network
could use to drive advertising revenue
in the future.
ESPN was comfortable the semifinals could draw huge audiences on
New Years Eve, but because of a quirk
in the 2015 calendar, the network
asked about a year ago to make a onetime change to hold the semis Jan. 2
because it fell on a Saturday. But CFP
officials didnt want to switch up the
schedule in the first season of New
Years Eve semifinals.
Frankly I wish wed discovered it
sooner and had earlier conversations, said Burke Magnus, ESPNs
executive vice president for programming and scheduling.
Like many, Hancock likes having
the midnight dance with his own wife
on New Years Eve, and thinks this
years schedule the game in South
Florida ending before midnight, the
game in north Texas probably ending

before midnight local time there

will give people time for their champagne toast.
To some extent, it was a factor,
Hancock said.
Around the country and particularly in the greater East Lansing and
Tuscaloosa areas, since Michigan
State and Alabama will be the game
that flirts with a midnight finish
traditional New Years plans are being
adjusted for the big game.
Tom Bramson owns a number of
bars and nightclubs in the heart of
Michigan State territory, among
other places. His wait staffs are usually clad in black and white; on
Thursday night, theyll all be in
Spartan gear. And the red tablecloths
and party favors have been ditched,
lest a reveler think theyre too close
to Alabama colors.
His nightclubs might take a New
Years Eve hit because of the interest
in the game, he said. His sports bars,
theyll be positively jammed.
And what a special night it will be
for Carrasco and Jehnsen.
A couple of their invited guests
arent coming to the wedding because
of the game. Most others just wanted
to make sure they wouldnt miss it all,
Carrasco said, so arrangements were
made to bring a television into their
reception facility. The site doesnt
have cable, so the Michigan State
game will be streamed there instead.
Her guests will be told no phones
for the first dance. Kickoff will be
missed. After that, Carrasco will share
her night with the Spartans.
Its starting to get a little complicated, Carrasco said. I was hoping
for a noon game. That didnt happen.
But its going to be great night.

that taking advantage of the unique challenges the prep game provides can only
help her all-around game.
Its definitely a different experience,
said Siminoff, a sophomore. Im a much
better 18-hole player. I dont start very
quickly. Now (during the high school season) I have to get it going in the first three
holes.
A quick learner, Siminoff helped lead the
Knights to a second-place tie in the West
Bay Athletic League, a game behind league
champion Castilleja. She finished second
in the WBAL championship tournament,
behind Harkers Katherine Zhu, to qualify
for the Central Coast Section tournament,
where she finished seventh for the second
season in a row.
Unlike last year, however, that was good
enough to qualify Siminoff for the Northern

Receiver Kenny Lawler had three touchdowns for Cal, which last made the postseason in a 21-10 loss to Texas in the Holiday

California tournament, where her round of

82 was good for a tie for 20th, missing the
cut for the state tournament by a couple of
strokes.
Put it all together and it adds up to
Siminoff being chosen the Daily Journals
Girls Golfer of the Year.
High school golf, for her, is to enjoy the
experience playing on a team. This is more
about camaraderie, said Menlo coach Ron
Driscoll. Shes real even keel. Youre
supposed to enjoy the game. She loves
every aspect of it.
With that love for the game comes a competitiveness that drives her to be her best.
She got off to a horrible start at the CCS
championship at the Rancho Caada West
Course in Carmel, bogeying No. 10, her
first hole of the day, and following that with
a four-putt, double-bogey on 11 that
dropped her to 3-over after just two holes.
But she rallied before the turn to give herself a chance to contend. She finished the
final nine holes at 1-over to finish with a 1over 72, good for a seventh-place tie and
the highest finish of any golfer from a San
Mateo County school.

I made it quite difficult to come back from

3-over, Siminoff said. I was very proud of
myself for coming back.
At the Nor Cal tournament at the Crazy
Horse Ranch course in Salinas, a storm prevented anyone from posting a super low
number. Siminoff went off in the second
group and had to deal with the pre-storm
wind that blew her score up to a 10-over 82.
The afternoon group had to contend with
rain, which Siminoff would have preferred.
Despite the difficult conditions, Siminoff
finished with 10 pars.
It was real bad conditions, Driscoll
said. That (score) is high for her, but she
showed a lot of heart. Just missed qualifying
for state.
With two high school seasons left,
Siminoff still has a shot at moving up the
leaderboards at both CCS and Nor Cals, with
a more than realistic chance to qualify for
the state tournament. Driscoll said
Siminoffs next step will be to clean up her
stroke clubs, those clubs used for shots
100 yards and in. Shots that can have her
putting more consistently for birdies.
I use the high school season as a training

ground for me, Siminoff said. I focused a

lot on my wedges, which has given me a lot
more opportunities to make birdie.

Forces appearances since 2007.
We tried a little bit of everything, Air
Force coach Troy Calhoun said.
Goff, who was Cals rst freshman starting quarterback in 2013, has started all 37
games as the Bears bounced back from 1-11
his rst year to 5-7 last year. He was 25 of
37 with no interceptions while breaking
Armed Forces records for passing yards and
touchdowns.
While Goff fell short of his career record
of seven touchdown passes in a game from a
59-56 double-overtime win against
Colorado last season, he added another Pac12 mark with 4,719 yards.
It was another successful Texas homecoming for Dykes, the son of former Texas Tech
coach Spike Dykes. The Bears won for the
second time this season in the Lone Star

State after beating

dropped to 1-9 at TCUs Amon G. Carter

Cal took control on a sequence that started with Goffs perfect deep throw to Maurice
Harris, who reached out with his left hand to
redirect the ball to his body and cradled it on
his way out of bounds for a 40-yard gain to
the Air Force 5.
Goff found Darius Powe on the next play
for one of Powes two scores and a 21-14
lead. The Bears got the ball back immediately on a fumble when Roberts lost control
trying to run the option, and Goff hit Lawler
in stride in the end zone for a 24-yard score.
Lawler had ve catches for 75 yards.
After an Air Force punt, Goff moved the
Bears 78 yards on three completions, with a
55-yarder to Treggs setting up a 14-yard
score to Lawler. Treggs had 143 yards and a
touchdown.

I didnt see the replay, Calhoun said. If
thats the call, thats the call.
Karson Roberts threw for two touchdowns

championship to San Diego State, and

Knowing full well Siminoff has a private

coach, Driscoll said he will meet with both
Siminoff and her coach to develop a game
plan for the immediate future, so Driscoll
does not spend a lot of time coaching
Siminoff the mechanics of the game.
Instead, his focus is the mental aspect of
the game. Getting Siminoff to understand
that she can be as good as anyone in the
state.
She has to be aware there is a lot of talent
out there and she has to keep pace, Driscoll
said. The thing we talk about a lot is
humble confidence. You never call attention
to yourself. [She] has the talent that draws
attention to [her].
She is an outstanding individual. Shes a
great person. As long as she dedicates her
passion (to the game), shes just going to
continue to get a lot better. The ceiling is
unlimited for her.

Are you ready for chicken breasts that arent bone dry?
By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Weve all suffered through cardboard-dry

chicken breasts. We do it because periodically we commit (or recommit or re-recommit) to healthy eating. And boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a fine and filling
lean protein well suited to the job.
Except for one thing... Because boneless,
skinless chicken breasts are so lean, they
overcook and dry out heartbreakingly fast.
Doesnt seem to matter whether I grill them
or bake them or saute them. I always end up
with dry, chewy and unpleasant chicken
breasts. No wonder everyone gets irritable
when theyre trying to eat healthy.
But I have a secret for cooking chicken
breasts that produces moist, tender meat
every time. In fact, its so foolproof and
effortless, you dont even need to watch the
clock. Though the chicken takes just 30
minutes to cook, you can let them go for as
long as an hour and you wont risk ruining
them in the slightest.
The secret? Poaching the breasts in a
blend of stock, wine and seasonings. But
my poaching technique is slightly different
than what youre used to. And thats what
makes it so forgiving.
First, I use a flavor-packed wine-infused
stock to poach instead of water. The flavor
difference is big. Second, I use mostly
residual heat to cook the meat. As in, I
bring the chicken stock, wine and aromatics to a boil, then add the raw boneless,
skinless chicken breasts. I bring the liquid
back to a boil, then turn off the heat, put a
lid on the pot, then let the chicken cook.
Thats it.
This method allows the chicken to cook
slowly, absorbing the seasonings and letting the wine in the broth deepen the flavor
of the meat. The chicken is never tough and
doesnt taste boiled, which sometimes
happens when you put raw chicken in cold
water and boil it.
I started poaching chicken in this manner

to use in chicken salad. Moist chicken just

tastes better in salad than grilled or baked.
And because the chicken is so juicy, you
need less mayonnaise when you prepare it
this way. But now I make poached chicken
breasts for many other dishes on a green
salad; sliced and tossed with pasta; chopped
and mixed into soup; mixed with barbecue
sauce for an easy pulled chicken wrap; etc.
However you use the chicken, be sure to
season it with salt before serving, as there
is no added salt in the poaching liquid.

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
In a large (at least 6-quart) stock pot or
Dutch oven over medium-high, combine the
chicken stock, wine, carrots, celery,
onions, garlic and thyme. Bring to a boil,
then gently add the chicken breasts one at a
time. If the chicken breasts arent entirely
covered by liquid, add a bit more stock or
water. Return the liquid to a boil.
As soon as the liquid boils, turn off the
heat and cover the pot. Allow the breasts to
poach for 30 minutes, then use tongs or a
slotted spoon to remove from the liquid.
Chicken can be used immediately, or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
The poaching liquid can be saved for
another use. It can be frozen, then thawed
and boiled before reusing.

The city has already implemented several
reduction measures, such as installing solar
panels on city properties and considering
participation in a regional community
choice aggregation plan. Yet more may be
needed to reduce about 7,615 metric tons of
carbon dioxide over the next five years and
another 13,267 metric tons by 2025 to
achieve a 20 percent reduction, according to
the plan.
A variety of measures are suggested such
as improving pedestrian and bicycle safety,
installing electric vehicle charging stations, conserving water as well as energy,
promoting stricter green building standards
and educating the public on how they can
contribute.
Vice Mayor Charlie Bronitsky said the
city must be on the forefront of environmental sustainability, particularly when

Perhaps even worse than obscuring the
proper name of ones fizzy fermented fruity
beverage during a holiday party though is
the harm that can be done to a bank account
by falling victim to the price gouging commonly associated with sparkling wine
shopping, said Gerald Weisl, owner of
Weimax Wines and Sprits in Burlingame,
1178 Broadway.
He said as more commonly known brands
such as Veuve Cliquot, Mumm and Moet
have thrived by jacking up prices based on
their growing notoriety, many smaller makers are offering better products for less
money.
The price has increased, but the quality
hasnt increased enough to justify it, said
Weisl, of the larger, notable companies.
Most of that money is going into packag-

vehicles to use with the new digester at the

wastewater treatment plant it shares with
San Mateo, and has long had an environmental sustainability task force, Bronitsky
said.
The council has made sustainability one
of their goals and its important for the city
to do what it can by preparing the climate
action plan that helps the City Council see
which programs make the most difference,
Carmichael said.
Vehicles are one of the main contributors
with highway transportation accounting for
35 percent and traffic on local roads making
up another 21 percent, according to the
report.
Mayor Herb Perez noted the increased traffic is a byproduct of the regions economic
boom and various sectors including businesses can participate in reducing emissions by bolstering transit programs such
as shuttle services to keep people out of
single-occupancy vehicles.
The production of housing has not kept
up with the regions and Foster Citys job
growth, causing prices to rise and increasing traffic. After eight years of no housing
construction, several large residential projects are currently under construction and
slated to bring hundreds of units into the
market, according to the report.
Still, more may be needed if Foster City
and the surrounding communities are to
address the affordable housing crisis in a
meaningful way. Enabling more people to

live nearby where they work could also support sustainability measures by reducing
commuter traffic, Perez said.
We have one significant challenge
which we can do better at, which is the housing element. Because ultimately, that is a
big part of the Climate Action Plan and the
interplay with traffic, Perez said. But I
think this is a great step to show our commitment to being environmentally responsible.
Bronitsky said the city is primarily built
out and creating plans to address the
impacts of current and future developments
is important.
To deal with the significant impacts to
schools and traffic, while we continue to
have some level for growth because municipal economics require it, Bronitsky said,
adding the city should strive for economic
as well as environmental sustainability.
Much of the community has adamantly
opposed any more housing developments
and Carmichael emphasized the proposed
changes in the General Plan dont allow for
any more or less developments within the
city.
Instead, these document changes in many
ways solidify existing city policies and
bring the plans up to the councils current
policy standards which could serve as a
good starting point for future discussions,
Carmichael said.
Perez said hes hopeful the council and
community will join for a more comprehen-

sive conversation on the vision for Foster

City and whether to contribute to helping
solve the housing shortage by being open
to more units.
We as a community need to decide to
what level we want to participate in resolving the housing crisis, Perez said. We as
one community cannot solve the housing
crisis by ourselves, we are but one drop in a
bucket for the potential to solve that. But if
each community does its part, then it has a
significant impact.
While no decisions will be made without
thorough planning discussions and public
meetings, Perez and Bronitsky said theyre
hopeful the community will join to consider updating the citys Master Plan to ensure
it continues to serve Foster City well in the
coming decades.
The more exciting conversation is what
do we want for the future of our city and what
is the new Master Plan to get us there,
Perez said, adding the new Climate Action
Plan and General Plan update are also important. These kinds of documents are guiding
documents that provide us with the guidance
that we need to move forward with a city that
is economically and environmentally sustainable for the future; so its absolutely
critical.

ing and marketing, but you cant pour labels

into a glass.
Weisl specializes in offering what he calls
growers Champagnes, which are less recognized labels that make a product comparable or superior to the brand names.
Despite the lack of widespread recognition, Weisl said lots of independent wineries produce an excellent sparkling drink
that is affordable for those looking to spend
roughly $20 per bottle.
Weisl likened many of the sweetened bubblies offered by household names to a meal
at Olive Garden, which can be reliable and
inoffensive, but perhaps not the right taste
for a more sophisticated and daring palate.
If you want to try something more interesting, maybe branch out, said Weisl.
Makers such as Drusian, Ferrari, Allimant
Laugner, Vitteaut Alberti and Capdevila
Pujol are some examples of small producers
which offer a quality bubbly for the right
price, said Weisl.
Weisl, who took control of the store years
after his father and uncle opened it in 1961,
is a connoisseur and expert of wines,
sparkling or not.

He has contributed to international tasting competitions and hosted experts in the

wine industry from across the globe at his
home in Burlingame.
But even when opening a bottle to share
with the most knowledgeable drinkers,
Weisl said he remains unafraid to pour a
brand which is accessible and affordable.
Good bubbly is a marvelous treat that
doesnt have to be expensive, he said.
Nor does it necessarily have to be considered a treat, he added.
Its not just for celebrations, but for days
that end in the letter Y, he said.
And though offering a cheaper bottle to a
person with a sophisticated and trained
palate could be intimidating to some, Weisl
said he knows a true connoisseur can appreciate a bottle at any cost.
If people are really experts, they pay
attention to what is in the glass and dont
listen to the song and dance, he said.
Sparkling wine sales have skyrocketed,
as they are wont to do, during the holidays,
but they remain a popular choice in
Burlingame throughout the year, said Weisl.
While watching a faithful customer pull

two reasonably priced bottles of sparkling

wine from a cooler which he recommended
long ago, Weisl beams with pride.
That is why you come to a good local
wine merchant who is passionate about
wine, he said.
Rather than rely on the bottled wisdom of
a traveling retailer who sells wines to large
chain shops throughout the region, Weisl
prefers to visit the wineries himself and get
to know the maker.
He said he appreciates the opportunity to
understand the personality of the wine
maker, and attempts to identify their character quirks when consuming their craft.
At the ready, he keeps a photo book
detailing his global travels, and pictures
show him meeting with wine makers
throughout Europe and further abroad.
And though he said he believes many
should be able to wander into his store and
find a bottle they will enjoy, relying on the
depth expertise of those at Weimax can be
an effective means of finding the right
choice for New Years Eve Champagne or
not.
Getting tips from a good wine purveyor
always helps, he said.

Next generation of fake meats, eggless mayo

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N. H. How far

have vegan alternatives come to
tasting like the real thing? Not far
enough, according to a panel that
tasted some options for the
Associated Press.
Noxious and kind of not natural were among the reactions to
some of the meatless alternatives
being pushed by a new generation
of vegan food makers that want to
revolutionize the way Americans
eat.
If I were to eat this thinking it
is a regular hamburger, I might
think its spoiled, said Byron
Champlin, a city councilor in
Concord, New Hampshire, after
taking a bit of a beefless burger
patty made by Gardein.
Gardein, Beyond Meat and
Hampton Creek are among the
companies trying to bring energy
to a category that has long been
defined
by
brands
like
Morningstar Foods (founded in
1970), Nasoya (1978) and Quorn
(1985). The thinking is that more
Americans will embrace plantbased alternatives to beef, chicken and mayonnaise if there are
better-tasting options.
The idea is attracting millions
of dollars in investments and
media fanfare, with the newer
companies saying their products
also are healthier and gentler on
the environment. But the recipes
theyre cooking up might not be
ready for prime time just yet.
A panel of taste testers at the
Associated Press test kitchen in
Concord, New Hampshire, had
mixed reactions to the offerings,
and in some cases preferred the
more established vegetarian
options. The three panelists were
meat eaters, but said theyd go for
vegetarian foods, as long as they
taste good.
Dan St. Jean, executive chef for

In a taste test of meatless meat, hosted by the Associated Press, fake chicken didnt fare well.
The Common Man restaurants in
New Hampshire, thought the
Gardein patty had a strange smell.
It almost tastes like someone
tried to make a meatball into a
hamburger, but did something
wrong, agreed Sarah Kinney, a
community news editor for The
Concord Monitor.
The reaction was worse for
Beyond Meats Beast Burger,
which was introduced this year.
Unlike Gardein, Beyond Meat
says it wants to replicate the taste
of real meat, rather
than just offer vegetarian alternatives.
But Champlin spit
out the Beast Burger
after one bite and
called it noxious
and non-recognizable.
All three taste
testers found the
original
griller
made by Morningstar
Foods the least offen-

sive. It wasnt exactly a hit either,

though; Champlin said he would
eat it if there was nothing else
around.
The fake chicken didnt fare
much better.
Its just kind of rubbery. It didnt really taste like chicken, said
Kinney of Beyond Meats
Southwestern-flavored strips of
chicken, which has been on
shelves since 2013.
Champlin thought there was a
bad aftertaste, but couldnt place

what it was.
He also thought the Gardein
chickn scallopini was tasteless. But thats why St. Jean liked
it he thought his kids wouldnt
notice if he covered it in cheese
and marinara sauce.
Champlin and Kinney preferred
the chicken breast look-alike
made by Quorn, although they
agreed with St. Jean that it looked
like a grilled baguette.
The panelists also noted the
lack of aromas in the kitchen,

where a chef was preparing the

products on a stovetop. Meat, by
contrast, would have filled the
space with mouthwatering smells.
If your back was to the stove,
you couldnt tell what she was
cooking, said St. Jean.
The panel was also given a
meatless breakfast sausage patty
made by Morningstar, and vegetarian bacon by Lightife, another
company that has been around
since the 1970s. The sausage was
the winner of the day, with everyone praising its texture for closely resembling the grind-like consistency of real sausage.
The bacon, by contrast, was
given a thumbs-down, with
Champlin likening it to a leather
chew. St. Jean agreed, and said
they reminded him of Beggin
Strips, the pet treats made by
Purina. The taste fell short, too.
The saltiness isnt there, the
crunch isnt there, St. Jean said.
Although the fake meats didnt
go over well, the panel generally
liked Just Mayo, the eggless mayonnaise introduced by Hampton
Creek in late 2012. The spread
now sells at major retailers,
including Target and WalMart.
Everyone was able to identify it
as vegan in a lineup of mayonnaises, but thought it came close
to tasting like Hellmanns.
I wouldnt have a problem with
this, Champlin said. St. Jean and
Kinney agreed.

Motorhead frontman, rock icon Lemmy Kilmister dead at 70

By Sandy Cohen

in recent months.
We cannot begin to express our
shock and sadness, there arent
words, the band said in announcing
the death on its Facebook page. Play

Motorhead loud, play Hawkwind loud,

play Lemmys music LOUD. Have a
drink or few. Share stories. Celebrate
the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man
celebrated so vibrantly himself. HE
WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.
Born on Christmas Eve, 1945, in
Staffordshire, England, Kilmister was
deeply respected and revered as a rock
master and innovator, from his time
with the seminal psychedelic band
Hawkwind in the early 1970s to his
four decades in Motorhead, best
known for the 1980 anthem Ace of
Spades. The band won a Grammy for
2004s best metal performance.

ing a light costs about $30 per year,

said Ibarra.
Should residents agree to power the
street lights from their homes, they
would stand to earn a few dollars as the
city is offering more money per month
than it costs to light the lamps for one
year.
We are trying what we can, said
Ibarra.
Roughly 60 street lights in the
neighborhood west of Interstate 280,
bounded to the north by Crestmoor
Drive and south by San Bruno Avenue,
have been out since Oct. 23, after a circuit failed. It has been difficult for
workers to identify the source of the
issue, and due to the antiquated infrastructure owned by the city, one disconnection has caused the entire circuit to go dark.
Ibarra likened the outage to a string
of holiday lights, in which one bulb
goes out and the entire strand beyond
that point is rendered useless.
Holiday lights themselves have
been a saving grace for the neighborhood during the outage, said Ibarra,
because the ambient lights from exterior lights hung on homes have helped
illuminate parts of the street which are
not reached by the flood lamps.
City officials are set to discuss
developing permanent solutions for
the neighborhood at the upcoming San
Bruno City Council meeting in
January.
Ibarra said he expected the issue
to take a few months to fix, but a
city report suggested the problem
could take as long as two years to

resolve permanently.
Beyond asking residents to contribute power, the city has also purchased solar units which can be
installed to help light the lamps.
The natural power sources have been
only moderately effective, said Ibarra,
because the units cannot draw enough
energy to completely illuminate the
streets.
Ibarra said officials have held community meetings with neighborhood
residents and found some are frustrated
and others are skeptical regarding the
validity of the proposed temporary
solutions.
Ultimately though he said many others have been understanding about the
citys effort to address the inconvenience.
The people have been very patient
and very receptive to what we are
doing, he said. Even though Im sure
there are those who feel frustrated and
dont feel we are doing enough.
Ibarra said he has toured the neighborhood at night, and due to the limited sunlight in the winter months, the
streets throughout the area are very
dark and potentially dangerous.
It just makes the area vulnerable,
he said. Even with house lights on or
porch lights on, the sidewalks are dark
and the streets are dark. Without good
lighting, you might not see certain
things.
Ibarra said though the city is committed to addressing the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We are doing everything we can,
within reason, he said.

LOS ANGELES Lanky and longhaired, with mutton chops and moles,
Ian Lemmy Kilmister looked and

Motorhead in 1975, and continued

The singer and bassist died Monday

LIGHTS
Continued from page 1
said those residents who live near the
outed street lights have no obligation
to help power the lamps, and participation in the effort is completely voluntary.
It is strictly a means of trying to
provide some amount of reliable lighting in the neighborhood, she said.
Jackson lives in the Crestmoor area,
and has connected one of the lamps to
her own home, said Ibarra.
Should a resident wish to offer their
home as a power source, Ibarra said
city work crews will establish the connection with a waterproof cord and can
often do it through an outside outlet
which would not require access to the
home interior.
Officials have installed gas-powered
mobile flood lamps at highly-trafficked intersections to mitigate the
issue some, but Ibarra said the method
is cost prohibitive to keep in place for
much longer.
The city is spending about $28,000
per month to rent the temporary
lights, and Ibarra said it is not an effective method of spending city money to
address an issue which could be much
less expensive.
As much as it helps, and it is better
than nothing, it is loud and costly and
doesnt really help further into the
block, said Ibarra.
Due to the city recently converting
street lamps to LED bulbs, illuminat-
