Man shot by police after confrontation
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
A man was shot by Redwood City police yesterday after a standoff, a prosecutor said.
Resident Tony Morales told the Post there was an argument between two neighbors over a dog. Morales said he spoke to one of the neighbors involved in the argument, who said a man parked his Cadillac Escalade on Linden Street
and confronted the neighbor. The Cadillac owner was looking for his German Shepherd and claimed the neighbor had it, Morales said. The neighbor said they had similar dogs, and the Cadillac owner was mistaken.
The Cadillac owner pulled out a gun and shot a bullet into the ground as a warning and said he was not playing around, the neighbor told Morales. The

Stanford gets OK for concert
BY DANIEL SCHRAGER Daily Post Staff Writer
Stanford is bringing live music back to its football stadium and amid concerns that its proposed concerts will be too loud, a Santa Clara County planner has ruled that the event can move forward.
Principal Planner Robert Salisbury granted Stanford a permit on Monday to host a three-night concert series at
the stadium next year in a public hearing.
The event would take place May 16, 17 and 19 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and include fireworks displays each night.
Typically, Stanford is allowed to host two fireworks shows a year and it had to get additional county approval for the third.
Four members of the public wrote
to the county’s Zoning Administration committee with concerns about the noise coming from the concerts, according to Associate Planner Parya Seif. Seif told the Post she couldn’t provide the names of the commenters, citing a policy against releasing their “personal information.”
The comments largely focused on Stanford’s plans for a third fireworks

County will pick its new sheriff today
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors today will pick a new sheriff to fill the seat vacated by fired sheriff Christina Corpus.
Corpus was fired on Oct. 14 after a nearly year-long process to remove her following accusations of nepotism and retaliation. Since her removal, Under-
sheriff Dan Perea has been running the show.
Instead of holding a special election to find the county’s next sheriff, it opted in a 3-2 vote on Oct. 28 to appoint the new sheriff by Thursday.
The board’s choices are — former Santa Clara County Undersheriff Ken
Binder, former San Francisco Assistant Police Chief David Lazar and Solano Community College District Chief Brian Wynn Huynh Travis.
The three men participated in a meet and greet on Monday with the supervisors and county residents, where they

Man arrested, charged with beating roommate
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
An East Palo Alto man was released after pleading innocent to allegedly hitting his roommate with a wooden stick after an argument, a prosecutor said.
Juan Antonio Chavez, 37, was arrested on Saturday at 2:45 p.m. at the 1100 block of Berkeley Avenue after police found his roommate bloody with several bruises, according to Menlo Park police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.
Chavez, who was in court Monday, pleaded innocent to attacking his roommate and was released on his own recognizance, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Argument escalates
Chavez got into an argument with his roommate after she tripped over a cable wire, according to Wagstaffe. Chavez got angry and he attacked her, knocking her to the ground and beating her with a pole. The victim ran to the

Clearance
neighbor’s house, and the neighbor called the police, Wagstaffe said.
Chavez was hitting her with a 20-inch piece of wood that was in the home, Acker said.
The victim was taken to the hospital to be treated for her head injuries, according to Acker. When police arrived, they found Chavez standing near the victim and arrested him as a possible suspect.
Chavez will be back in court on Feb. 9.

After years in the making, homes OK’d
BY DANIEL SCHRAGER Daily Post Staff Writer
A six-story mixed-use apartment building in downtown Palo Alto can move forward following four years of delays, after council voted 4-1 to approve the project.
The building will have 70 apartments, 20% of which will be designated as affordable units, and nearly 2,000 square feet of office space. It will be located at 660 University Ave., which is between Byron Street and Middlefield Road, replacing a pair of medical offices.
Councilman George Lu voted no on Monday, preferring an option that didn’t require the developer to come up with a way to monitor any impacts of parking spillover from the new apartments on the neighborhood. Mayor Ed Lauing said he agreed with Lu, but wants to see the project move forward without any further delays.
Council members Greer Stone and
Vicki Veenker were absent at Monday night’s meeting, leaving council members Lauing, Julie Lythcott-Haims, Keith Reckdahl and Pat Burt to approve the project.
First applied in 2021
The building will be 70 feet tall, exceeding the limit of 30 feet under the current zoning ordinance, and hold six times as many apartments per acre as is currently allowed. Developer Boyd Smith of Smith Development first applied for approval in 2021, but the plans were sent back several times for revisions after getting pushback from neighbors of the project.
In 2024, the company filed for a “builder’s remedy,” approval under a state law that lets developers get out of local zoning ordinances for housing projects with at least 20% of the apartments designated as affordable units.
The city opted to work with the de-
veloper to change the zoning ordinance and move forward with the project.
Residents expressed concern that the project would worsen traffic along Byron Street and potentially kill an old oak tree on the property.
Worried about tree
Three residents worried the developer’s plan to trim one side of the tree to make room for scaffolding during construction, which they worried would cause the tree to tilt. The city’s arborist, Peter Gollinger, said that “could be a concern in the future” but will likely be addressed.
Four of the 12 speakers during public comment expressed support for the project, saying downtown’s need for housing outweighs concerns about traffic and trees.
“Even when new housing isn’t perfect for each of us personally… new housing is good for us collectively as
a community,” Tom Harris said. Lu, who called the project “fine,” proposed approving the 70-unit version of the project, as opposed to a 66-unit option discussed earlier, and removing the requirement to monitor parking spillover. Burt and Reckdahl voted against the proposal, leaving it short of the four votes it needed to pass – even with two council members absent.
“We have potentially a lot of impacts from this project, many of which we’re really not going to be able to mitigate,” Burt said. “This is one that we can.”
No more delays
Burt then moved to approve the project with the parking monitoring requirement. Lu said he would vote no, leaving Lauing with a chance to block the proposal. The mayor said he cared more about moving the project forward after four years of delays than the parking requirement.
THE UPDATE FROM PAGE 1
President Trump boasts that his tariffs protect American industries, lure factories to the United States, raise money for the federal government and give him diplomatic leverage. Now, he’s claiming they can finance a windfall for American families, too: He’s promising a $2,000 tariff dividend.
50-YEAR MORTGAGES: The White House says it is considering a 50-year mortgage to address the home affordability crisis. Critics argue it won’t solve issues like supply shortages and high interest rates. A 50-year mortgage would lower a borrower’s monthly payments but could dramatically increase their total interest paid. It would also delay equity accumulation compared to a 30-year mortgage.
KIMMEL BANDLEADER DIES: Jimmy Kimmel’s longtime friend and bandleader, Cleto Escobedo III, has died. Escobedo was 59. Kimmel announced the news yesterday on Instagram and expressed deep heartbreak. The two met as children in Las Vegas and grew up across the street from each other.
ONE LONG CHASE: A suspect in an allegedly stolen minivan on Monday led Southern California authorities on a 170-mile chase through four counties that ended with her escaping into Mexico. It began around 11 a.m. when deputies responded to reports of a Toyota Sienna taken from outside of a sober living home in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Burglars strike 3 homes in 1 night
Three Palo Alto home burglaries were reported in the span of an hour, resulting in a police helicopter circling part of town, police said.
The first occurred around 9:25 p.m. Monday on the 3900 block of Nelson Drive, police said in a statement. The house’s resident, a woman in her 30s, saw two people in masks break through a back sliding door. She called the police, and the intruders fled in a dark-colored car when officers arrived, the statement said.
Minutes later, police received a call from a man one street over, on the 400 block of El Capitan Place, saying he’d returned home and his house looked like it had been ransacked. The man, who’s in his 40s, reported hearing a loud noise and his child saw someone crawling on the floor before they left the house and called police, according to the statement. Police said the burglar entered the house by breaking a glass sliding door. Officers couldn’t find the suspects despite help from a San Jose Police Department helicopter and a San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit.
Police say they haven’t determined if anything was stolen from either house.
A third burglary was reported at
10:15 p.m. on the 1000 block of Cardinal Way — over two miles from the other two incidents. Police say the burglar broke in by smashing a sliding window in the back of the house and that several pieces of jewelry were missing. The house’s resident wasn’t home when the burglary took place.
Suspects on the loose
Police haven’t identified a suspect in any of the cases. Lt. Nicholas Martinez told the Daily Post in an email that police are investigating whether the incidents are related but haven’t made a determination yet.
Palo Alto residents should make sure to lock the side gates of their homes to prevent burglars from getting to the backyard, police said. Police also recommend locking all windows and doors overnight.
Atherton spree Monday’s break-ins come just weeks after Atherton saw a string of home burglaries in late October. The Atherton incidents followed a similar pattern, with suspects breaking in by smashing a glass door or window, according to the town’s police department.
Driver faulted in train jolt
More than a month after a Muni N-Judah train lost control and jolted riders during a morning commute, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is blaming the train’s operator.
On Sept. 24, passengers riding east
on a packed N-Judah Muni train were suddenly jolted to the sides as the train navigated a curve.
The SFMTA said “operator fatigue” was determined to be the cause of the train losing control.
Gold: Your Best Insurance
Trade Wars and Currency Wars are accelerating worldwide.
The old monetar y system is failing. Indebted national currencies are depreciating in a see-saw race to the bottom. So much worldwide debt is in default or is being masked with more debt. Politicians posture at each other, but they all created the situation by buying power and favors while mor tgaging your children’s future.
Stocks and bond markets, long suppor ted by Central Banks, may be challenged going for ward as governments have exhausted their debt expansion tools. Recent new highs in equities, due to some promising companies, may be more post-election hope than substance. Cr yptocurrencies had their run, but the hope for a sounder and more private fiat system remains challenged while a past price bubble for the majority has been costly. Bitcoin is an example of those still per forming among the thousands of currencies & tokens in this young experiment.
Wise and calm obser vers know that longterm, gold is money, not debt, not paper promises. For thousands of years it has protected families from currency depreciation, paper defaults, and cer tain political abuses.
If you have been waiting to buy gold, or buy it “cheaper,” reconsider. Gold bottomed near $1040 at the end of 2015. We are in a new multi-year uptrend reconfirmed by the current strength just below all time highs. Monetar y scientists understand that the repricing of gold is just getting star ted. Each crisis seems to become more pronounced as the debt monetar y system disintegrates towards failure. Gold is best accumulated, not speculated. Star t saving in gold, and make it a habit.

DOJ investigating ‘riots’ at Berkeley
Protests at Turning Point event resulted in arrests
The U.S. attorney general said yesterday that federal officials will investigate protesters at a Turning Point event in Berkeley.
The protests occurred Monday ahead of the last stop on Turning Point USA’s campus tour after founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
UC-Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof says about 900 people attended the gathering of the conservative political group, and they were met by an estimated 150 protesters.
Attorney General Pam Bondi called
the protests “violent riots” and said they will be investigated by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force.
But Mogulof said the event was “safely and successfully held and proceeded without disruption.”
Several arrested Mogulof said campus police arrested two people for failing to comply with orders. City police separately arrested a man on suspicion of theft, for allegedly snatching a chain from another man’s neck, leading to a scuffle.
The DOJ is already investigating Berkeley to determine if the schools were using DEI to discriminate based on race.
3 train crossings to soon go quiet
BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer
Palo Alto City Council has decided to install new gates at three Caltrain crossings so that the trains will stop honking their horns.
Council and residents wanted the new “quiet zone” to be established as soon as possible, but Senior Engineer Ripon Bhatia said the project will take at least 32 months.
Unanimous decision
Council on Monday unanimously abandoned the idea of installing wayside horns that blare outwards from each crossing when the trains go by.
Council members Pat Burt and Julie Lythcott-Haims defended their position on the Rail Committee to spend time investigating wayside horns. Wayside horns would be faster and cheaper to install, but they’d still make noise.
Instead, council voted 5-0 to pursue “quad gates” that block off the entire crossing as trains pass at Churchill Avenue, Meadow Drive and Charleston Road. The crossings currently have gates that go down only on the right side of the road, but the Federal Rail-
road Administration requires a safety upgrade to establish the quiet zone.
Residents weigh in
Resident Rachel Croft, who lives on Mariposa Avenue, said she has a new neighbor whose 5-year-old wakes up every time the freight train goes by.
“They’re really blasting until 1 a.m., which interrupts sleeping,” Croft said.
John and Melinda Melnychuk, who live on Alma Street, said they’ve been waiting for relief from the train noise for a decade.
Up next
The quad gates are expected to cost $4.1 to $5.6 million and take 32 to 50 months to complete, Bhatia told council.
The city needs to come up with the funding, work with Caltrain and get approval from the California Public Utilities Commission and Federal Railroad Administration.
The city is also working on establishing a quiet zone at Palo Alto Avenue by next summer. There, the city has to raise and extend the median, and the gates don’t need to be replaced to meet the Federal Railroad Administration’s requirements.

New England Lobster Market & Eatery wants to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to take a big bite out of cancer at their Lobsterfest Benefit for Okizu a few weeks ago.
The Oct. 11 event raised more than $73,000 for Okizu, a Northern California nonprofit that runs camps that let kids with cancer and their families come together for fun, respite and healing.
New England Lobster owner Marc Worrall says the kids at the camp say they go to the hospital for treatment, but they go to Okizu to heal.
“Every dollar helps send children and families affected by childhood cancer to camp for a life-changing experience,” he said. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated and volunteered!”
Okizu holds a special place in Worrall’s heart; over the last 20 years New England Lobster has raised more
than $1 million for the nonprofit. And it’s not the only organization that has benefited from fundraising support from New England Lobster. Worrall says his restaurant and seafood market has more than 30 years of experience helping local organizations raise money. From sports teams and school clubs to Rotary and other civic organizations and nonprofits, they’ve helped them all by hosting lobster and/or crab feeds or selling delicious dishes out of their seafood truck.
Worrall says his lobster truck fundraisers let people order their seafood items or lobster roll kits ahead of time, and then New England Lobster can roll up in their refrigerated seafood truck for everyone to pick up their items. It’s easy and delicious and sure to be a hit.
But what Worrall loves best is when you call New England Lobster and everyone contributes their own ideas to make something really creative and compelling. They’d love to brainstorm with you and help you make a splash for your organization!
Fundraising with New England Lobster is sure to be a hit, because of course there’s a reason everyone
knows and loves them. The restaurant gets its lobsters shipped live from New England, and they’re never frozen, so they’re always succulent and delicious. All their lobster and crab meat is handpicked and cooked every day and New England makes all its food –including breads, sauces, desserts, you name it – in their own kitchen.
So if you’re looking to fundraise better with lobster, get cracking and call New England Lobster at (650) 873-9000.

Baby food maker pulls all products
ByHeart, a manufacturer of organic baby formula, recalled all of its products sold nationwide yesterday, days after some batches were recalled in an expanding outbreak of infant botulism.
At least 15 babies in 12 states have been sickened in the outbreak since August, with more cases pending, according to state and federal health officials. All of the infants were hospitalized after consuming ByHeart formula, officials said. No deaths have been reported.
Recall expands
ByHeart officials expanded the voluntary recall from two lots announced Saturday to all products in consumers’ homes and in stores. That includes
ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and Anywhere Pack pouches of powdered formula. The company sells about 200,000 cans of infant formula a month online and in stores such as Target, Walmart, Albertsons and Whole Foods, according to Dr. Devon Kuehn, chief medical officer.
Parents and caregivers who have the formula in their homes “should immediately discontinue use and dispose of the product,” Kuehn said.
Company officials said they enacted the unusual recall “in close collaboration” with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration even though no product that was previously unopened tested positive for the contamination.

Warning cut from menopause drugs
Hormone-based drugs used to treat hot flashes and other menopause symptoms will no longer carry a bold warning label about stroke, heart attack, dementia and other serious risks, the Food and Drug Administration has announced.
U.S. health officials said they will remove the boxed warning from more than 20 pills, patches and creams containing hormones like estrogen and progestin, which are approved to ease disruptive symptoms like night sweats.
The change has been supported by some doctors — including FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who has called the current label outdated and unnecessary. But some doctors worried that the process which led to the decision was flawed.
‘Outdated thinking’
Health officials explained the move by pointing to studies suggesting hormone therapy has few risks when started before age 60 and within 10 years of menopause symptoms.
“We’re challenging outdated thinking
and recommitting to evidence-based medicine that empowers rather than restricts,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in introducing the update.
The 22-year-old FDA warning advised doctors that hormone therapy increases the risk of blood clots, heart problems and other health issues, citing data from an influential study published more than 20 years ago.
What doctors say
Many doctors — and pharmaceutical companies — have called for removing or revising the label, which they say discourages prescriptions and scares off women who could benefit.
Dr. Steven Fleischman, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said the warnings have created a lot of hesitancy among patients.
Other experts have opposed making changes to the label without a careful, transparent process. They say the FDA should have convened its independent advisers to publicly consider revisions.

CONCERT –––––
show, which one commenter called “disruptive to the surrounding communities.”
“(Stanford) already has permission under the (general use permit) for TWO firework displays, and now they want THREE!” another commenter wrote.
Seif said the county’s Department of Environmental Health worked with Stanford and planned the event with the county’s noise ordinance in mind. The project also received approval from the Palo Alto Planning and Development Department.
The event builds on Stanford’s recent efforts to bring live music to the stadium, which hasn’t traditionally hosted concerts.
Loud Coldplay shows
Stanford hosted a pair of Coldplay concerts May 31 and June 1, which brought concerns about noise in the neighboring areas, given the stadium’s location along El Camino Real and across from Palo Alto High School. While the concert could be heard from some parts of town, Seif said the county monitored noise levels and they didn’t violate the county noise ordinance at any point.
“The noise level in the surrounding area didn’t change much during the concert as compared to the background noise data obtained prior to the concert,” Seif said.
Seif didn’t say whether that applied to Menlo Park, which is in San Mateo County. Before the Coldplay concerts, Stanford commissioned an assessment that found the music would exceed city-imposed noise limits in parts of Menlo Park.
The Coldplay concerts included real-time noise monitoring, allowing stadium sound system operators to turn down the volume if it exceeded the levels allowed by the county, according to Seif.
Will monitor the noise
The real-time monitoring will return for the upcoming concerts, Seif said.
Salisbury thanked Stanford for its “diligence” in following the noise ordinance. As a condition for ap-
proving the permit, the county said that the concerts and fireworks displays will have to end by 10 p.m. each night.
Stanford will expand the stadium’s capacity to 58,000 from its usual 50,000 for the shows, according to Seif.
SHERIFF ––––––
answered questions and laid out their first 90 days in office.
Binder said in his first 90 days, he plans to have a new executive team that has the respect and trust of the organization. Binder said previously he would want to have former Undersheriff Chris Hsiung and former Assistant Sheriff Ryan Monaghan as part of this team. His brother is Palo Alto’s police chief, Andrew Binder.
Binder said he would fill vacancies and has a list of promotions to make if appointed. He also said he wanted to review the standing polices to make sure they are in alignment with the community’s expectations and internal affairs investigations.
Strict hiring standards
Even though the sheriff’s office is understaffed, Binder said he still wants to hold every deputy to the highest hiring standards.
“All of our employees are reflecting upon all of us in law enforcement and we can’t have a few bad people spoil it for the rest of us,” Binder said. “There’s not going to be a sheriff’s friend (who) gets promoted just because their friend or some good old boy network. We’re gonna get rid of all of that.”
Binder worked for the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s office from 1999 to 2024, working his way up the ranks, even serving as acting sheriff for two months after former Sheriff Laurie Smith resigned before she was convicted by the civil grand jury for trading gun permits for campaign donations.
This included time working in the troubled Santa Clara County jail system and as chief for the contract
cities of Saratoga, Los Altos Hills and Cupertino. As Undersheriff, Binder oversaw jail reform after the death of Michael Tyree, a mentally ill jail inmate who was beaten to death by three jail guards in 2015.
Plans for first 48 hours
Lazar said on Monday that in his first 48 hours, he will sit down with the deputies’ and sergeants’ unions to develop a plan on how to move forward rebuilding the sheriff’s office. He said Perea should retire based on what he’s read about Corpus’ office. Perea spent his career at SFPD before joining Corpus’s executive team last year.
“It’s not about the work we did before. It’s about what has happened here in San Mateo County. He’s in the Cordell Report with a lot of bad behavior,” Lazar said.
Perea “needs to leave” because deputies have no confidence in him, Lazar told the Post.
Lazar said during the meeting he would want to have an audit of the organization’s polices and procedures. He said he will also look into the cases where deputies were transferred or placed on leave.
“Within those 90 days, we need to restore trust,” Lazar said.
As assistant chief, Lazar was responsible for overseeing 1,700 sworn and non-sworn employees. Lazar previously told the supervisors he had been keeping track of the Corpus’ allegations since the beginning of the year.
Travis’ plans
Travis said he would also have a new executive team and ask the unions for their input. He wants to make sure anyone who joins his team has integrity, is credible and is not promoted based on politics.
At the community college district where he works, Travis said he has learned how to work with different communities to make sure they are heard and safe. Travis said he has spent the last cou-

ple of weeks in the county’s two jails speaking to employees there.
“The last couple of years have really taken a toll on their site. Promotional opportunities have been taken away from them. It’s not about merit. It’s about who you know for the last couple of years,” Travis said.
Travis said he wants to give everyone a fair opportunity to get promotions within the organization.
Travis, a retired Army Major, who was deployed in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iraq moved back to the county this year, he grew up in San Mateo.
Lazar asked about crash
Lazar was questioned on Monday about an incident where he turned on the lights of his not marked police car to get through traffic while on duty to go to a Lunar New Year’s event earlier this year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. While doing so, Lazar was involved in a crash, no one was hurt, and the other driver, who went straight when he was in a turn lane, was found responsible for the crash.
“I shouldn’t have done it and I should have been a little more patient,” Lazar told the Post. “I’m not bringing my diving skills to San Mateo County. I’ll probably have to drive with someone else. I’ll sit in the passenger seat.”
The Post asked Lazar about a 2018 lawsuit where the owner of a North Beach nightclub, Hue, said Lazar targeted the club because of his black clientele, leading it to close. Lazar said the lawsuit was thrown out because it was seen as “frivolous and ridiculous.”
“That’s what people do if you enforce the law, sometimes they’re gonna try to come and say, ‘You’re a racist’,” Lazar told the Post.
Union doesn’t endorse
Yesterday, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Deputy’s union declined to endorse any of the three candidates, citing the break-neck speed of the appointment process.
“This is not a reflection on the candidates, who we find to be highly qualified for the position, but rather
a reflection on the tight timeline afforded for this process, which has made it impossible to thoroughly vet each of the candidates to make a full and fair assessment of them,” said the union’s statement.
The union said it thinks any of the three candidates would be a “significant improvement” in leadership at the sheriff’s office.
SHOOTING ––––
neighbor ran towards Hemlock Avenue and the Cadillac owner ran to his own home nearby when Redwood City police came, according to Morales. During the investigation, the neighbor was approached by investigators for questioning, and they said they were happy he was okay.
Police on the scene of the shooting told the Post to contact Lt. Jeff Clements, the department’s spokesman, who said he was trying to issue a statement about what had occurred, but had not by the Post’s press deadline.
Heard the shots
Neighbor Daisy Morales told the Post that she got home from work around 3:10 p.m. and saw police on her street. A few minutes later, she heard six gunshots and saw police run into her neighbor’s home.
An ambulance came and Morales saw a man taken out of the home on a gurney, she said.
The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The man’s current condition is not known.
Firefighters were called to the 100 block of Hemlock Avenue, not far from the Five Points intersection, at 2:53 p.m., according to fire dispatch logs. Hemlock Avenue between Madrone and Linden streets was closed.
First Amendment threat
The city of Palo Alto wants to make it harder for the Post to distribute the news.
The city says it wants to “beautify” University Avenue by removing newspaper boxes and putting them in places where readers would be unlikely to find them.
This is a form of censorship and a violation of the First Amendment (Lakewood vs. Plain Dealer, U.S. Supreme Court, 1988).
