City explores new streetcars


Redwood City studies service down Broadway from downtown to near highway
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Redwood City is exploring


whether to resurrect the streetcar as
a way to efficiently move commuters from downtown to other
parts of the city.
The City Council approved a contract Monday night with a consult-

ing firm to study the feasibility of


adding a streetcar line on Broadway
from the Sequoia Caltrain station
south to the Stanford Medicine
Outpatient Center next to Highway
101 to the east.
Streetcars were once popular with
area commuters before the dawn of
the automobile age. Tracks once ran
from San Francisco to downtown

San Mateo but service in the county


ceased in 1949 and the tracks were
torn up.
In 2010, the Redwood City
Council approved a General Plan
update that identified Broadway,
Seaport Boulevard and Middlefield
Road as potential corridors for
streetcar service.
The 2013 Stanford in Redwood

City Precise Plan anchors one end


of the potential Broadway streetcar
line and the university has contributed $75,000 toward the study
of the line.
The city was awarded a $450,000
Federal Highway Administration
grant last year to analyze both the
feasibility and potential design of a
Broadway streetcar design.

Consultant Fehr & Peers was


awarded a $88,200 contract to
advise the city on the feasibility
study. The company has experience
in the design, construction and
operation of municipal streetcar
lines.
Mayor Jeff Gee said Fehr & Peers

A proposal to move Peninsula


Alternative High School to a more

Officials moved toward approving a property shuffle which could
lead toward the relocation of the districts continuation school, but
uncertainty surrounding a public

The district Board of Trustees

County tackles noise


at San Carlos Airport
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The regions booming economy


has led to a significant increase of
air traffic at the county-owned San
Carlos Airport which in
turn has led to residents
complaining about all
the extra noise it is creating.
Last week, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors formed a subcommittee to address air traffic
impacts at the airport.
It is comprised of supervisors Don
Horsley and Warren Slocum, whose

districts are most impacted by the


airport, to assess and develop solutions to address the impact of
increased air traffic.
Most of the noise comes from
Surf Air planes and most of the
complaints
come
from Atherton residents.
North Fair Oaks, however, is also
impacted by the frequency of Surf
Air planes flying to San Carlos,
Supervisor Warren Slocum said
Wednesday.

1 dead, 1 arrested in apparently
random shootings in city
BANNING, Calif. A man was
arrested Saturday on suspicion of going
on a violent spree in the Southern
California city of Banning that left at
least one person dead and three others
injured, police said.
The attack, which occurred within a
span of an hour on Saturday, appears to
be random, and investigators are trying
to determine a motive, Police Chief
Alex Diaz said.
We dont know what his state of
mind was, Diaz said.
The suspect, who has not been identified, is believed to be connected to a
shooting that killed a driver and injured
a passenger, another car-to-car shooting
that caused a minor injury, as well as an
assault at a gas station and an attempted
carjacking.
Late Saturday night, Diaz told the Los

gunned-down driver was Paul Lesh. His
age was not available, the Times reported. The name of other victims have not
been released.
Diaz said detectives were trying to
determine if a body found in a pickup

the crime spree.

Council candidates debate priorities


Parking, housing, city properties identified as top issues in Burlingame
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the local economy booms and


Burlingame continues to be a lucrative destination for those wishing to live and work
along the Peninsula, a variety of challenges
are presented to ensure space remains for
longtime members of the community to exist
alongside the new families and companies
flocking to the city, according to candidates
running for the City Council.
Finding solutions for the lack of affordable
housing and parking are among the primary
issues facing the Burlingame community
identified by Planning Commissioner Nirmala
Bandrapalli, business owner Donna Colson,
nonprofit executive Emily Beach and volunteer Eric Storey, all who are competing for
two vacant seats on the council.
Mayor Terry Nagel and appointed
Councilman John Root decided not to seek reelection, presenting opportunities for the four
candidates seeking support on Election Day,
Nov. 3, in an all-mail ballot election.
Negotiating the rights of land and building
owners looking to maximize a return on
investment of their property against the best
interest of the 52 percent of Burlingame residents who rent their homes is an increasingly
difficult challenge facing officials, said
Beach.
I think we all agree it is a very, very scary
time to be a renter in Burlingame, or anywhere else on the Peninsula, she said.
Due to Measure T, which voters approved in
1988, officials cannot enact any ordinance
which would affect rental rates in Burlingame.
But despite the calls by some Burlingame
renters for officials to pass just cause eviction
protections, Beach said she is unsure such policy is the best practice to alleviate the concerns of affordability and tenants rights.
Im skeptical just cause eviction protections are really the tools we should use, she

said.
Storey, a renter, disagreed and said he favored
implementing a just cause
eviction policy.
Its the responsibility of
the city to do the best for
renters because they are
not protected at all, he
said.
Nirmala
Colson suggested buildBandrapalli
ing more housing would
help address the issue, and
targeted Rollins Road as a
potential area which could
accommodate
future
growth.
Updating the citys general plan should be a
means through which officials can attempt to look at
solving the housing dilem- Donna Colson
ma, said Colson, but noted
the issue is not specific to Burlingame.
She said city officials should look to work
with county and state legislators to address the
dearth of affordable housing through a more
comprehensive approach.
Bandrapalli concurred with that sentiment.
Housing is a regional crisis, Bandrapalli
said.
Officials should look to consider the perspectives of both renters and landlords to
develop a solution which is amicable for both
parties, said Bandrapalli.
I dont want Burlingame to become a tale
of two cities, she said. Everyone deserves
some semblance of stability.
Burlingame officials have attempted to
address the housing issue locally by leveraging city-owned property into affordable residential developments, as well as additional
parking spaces.
The council agreed in July to hire Pacific
Companies to build an affordable housing

complex and an additional


parking garage on a couple
of city-owned parking lots
south of Howard Avenue.
Bandrapalli lauded the
councils effort, and noted
the need for a parking
garage to be built near
downtown, to supply more
Emily Beach spaces for those patronizing local businesses and
restaurants.
We need a parking
structure that fits in with
the neighborhood aesthetic, she said.
Beach agreed parking
was an issue, but suggested the city look to improve
bike infrastructure, which
could encourage residents
Eric Storey
to drive less and alleviate
some of the citys parking congestion.
Storey also identified parking as an issue,
both downtown and on Broadway.
The council has also targeted the property
which is currently home to City Hall, 501
Primrose Road, as another opportunity to
address community needs through redevelopment.
Officials claim the current City Hall needs
seismic retrofitting, as it is structurally unfit
and not designed efficiently to accommodate
the demands of housing a modern city government.
Storey said he would prefer to build a park

Wheels of justice slow at overloaded federal courts


By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Attorney


Martha Gomez has been waiting
more than three years to hear from a
federal court whether a group of
farm workers in Californias Central
Valley can proceed with their lawsuit alleging wage theft.
The case in Californias Eastern
District could result in payouts for
thousands of migrant workers, but
each passing day raises the possibility that they will have moved on and
be impossible to track down,
Gomez said.
Everybody is in limbo, and its
hard to explain that, she said.
Across the country, federal district courts have seen a rise in recent
years in the time it takes to get civil
cases to trial and resolve felony
criminal cases as judges workloads
have increased, according to statistics from the Administrative Office
of the U.S. Courts.
The problem is particularly acute
in some federal courts such as
Californias and Texass Eastern
Districts. Judges there have workloads about twice the national average and say they are struggling to
keep up.
The result, the judges and attor-

neys say, is longer wait times in


prison for defendants awaiting trial,
higher costs for civil lawsuits and
delays that can render those suits
moot.
I think its fair to say that things
are quite bad, said Matt Menendez,
a lawyer with the Brennan Center
for Justice at New York University
School of Law who has studied
judicial caseloads.

Vacancies
Legal scholars say Congress
needs to fill judicial vacancies more
quickly but also increase the number of judges in some districts
both issues that get bogged down in
partisan political fights over judicial
nominees.
Californias Eastern District,
which covers a large swath of the
state that includes Sacramento and
Fresno, has had an unfilled judicial
vacancy for nearly three years, and
it has the same number of judicial

positions six it had in 1978,


according to the Administrative
Office of the U.S. Courts.
The Judicial Conference of the
United States, the national policymaking body for the federal courts,
has recommended Congress double
the number of judicial positions in
the district.
In the late 1990s, the median time
for civil cases to go to trial in the
district averaged 2 years and four
months. From 2009 to 2014, that
number jumped by more than a
year. The median time to resolve
criminal cases nearly doubled to an
average of 13 months.
Youre never out from under it,
said Morrison England, the courts
chief judge. Youre constantly trying to do what you can to get these
cases resolved, and we just cant do
it.
The weighted caseload per judge
has climbed from an average of
nearly 600 in the late 1990s to over
a 1,000.
The Eastern District of Texas has
seen similar increases.
The way one older judge put it to
me: If you have too many cases,
you start to lose the time to think
about them, said Ron Clark, the
courts chief judge.
The vacancy in Californias

Eastern District is in Fresno, which


is down to just one full-time district
court judge.
Attorneys say they are reluctant
to file cases in the Fresno court
because of delays and have faced
additional expenses from having to
drive to Sacramento when their case
gets assigned to a judge there who
has been called in to help.
Gomezs April 2012 lawsuit was
filed in Fresno and alleges that
Castlerock Farming and Transport
forced the workers grape harvesters to work off the clock and
did not provide them with proper
rest breaks.
Jim Hanlon, an attorney for
Castlerock, said he does not comment on pending cases. The company says in court documents it did
not directly employ the workers and
has already defended their claims in
a separate lawsuit.

Complexity
Anthony Raimondo, an attorney
for another defendant in the case,
said at least some of the time its
taken to resolve the lawsuit can be
attributed to its complexity.
The case lists multiple defendants
and alleged labor code violations
and seeks class action status on
behalf of as many as several thou-

sand employees. Early on, the judge


overseeing the case, Senior U.S.
District Judge Anthony Ishii, put it
on hold pending a class certification
ruling in a related case.
But Raimando and Gomez say
there have been delays that appear
to have no explanation other than a
backlogged court. Castlerock, for
example, filed a motion to dismiss
the lawsuit last September that the
judge has yet to rule on.
A woman who answered the
phone in Ishiis chambers said he
would be away until the end of
September and unavailable for comment.
Lawrence ONeill, the one fulltime district court judge in Fresno,
said he could not comment on any
pending case. But he said the
courts caseload has made it difficult to get trial dates for civil cases.
He pointed to two cases on his
docket one alleging excessive
force by police and the other race
and sex discrimination by an
employer that were filed in 2013,
but wont go to trial until 2017.
We can slow things down
because we simply cant work any
harder or faster, he said. But the
real important effect of that is people who need our help to move their
lives forward are delayed.

Tents trapped Boy Scouts Neglected tiger


during deadly flash flood dies at sanctuary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA FE, N.M. Deadly


floodwaters that tore through a Boy
Scout troops New Mexico campsite
in the middle of the night turned
their tents into wet cages that clung
to their bodies like saran wrap,
newly released police reports and
taped interviews show.
The group of eight California
boys and their chaperones fought
desperately to escape, some using
their teeth to rip holes in the material.
You could hear people yelling,
but you couldnt understand what
they were saying, Michael Evans,
one of the adults, told police of the
chaos of that June night.

The water swept four Scouts


down a canyon. Alden Brock, 13, of
Sacramento died.
The reports and audio interviews
were released Sunday and obtained
by the Santa Fe New Mexican. They
showed some of the boys and leaders awoke to a rush of water in their
tents, and many struggled in the
dark to find or open their tent zippers.
Theodor Morrow, a 19-year-old
college student and first-year camp
ranger, told investigators he made it
outside and tried to hang onto other
tents as they drifted away.
Logan Reed said he and Brock,
his tent mate, were among those
who couldnt get out of their tents.

I guess there was a hole in the bottom of the tent, and I slipped out of
that.
Reed said he went underwater for
a while and never saw the tent after
that. He held onto a patch of reeds
downstream until he was found at
sunrise.
Another boy who was swept
away, Christian Heningburg, told
police he was inside a waterproof
sleeping bag and didnt feel the
water until another camper woke
him up.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO A tiger flown to


a Southern California sanctuary last
year after concerns of neglect at a
Greek zoo has died, sanctuary officials said.
Phevos, a 17-year-old male tiger,
was euthanized at the Lions, Tigers
& Bears sanctuary in Alpine,
California, after weeks of decline,
the Los Angeles Times reported
Sunday.
Lead veterinarian Jane Meier said
the 300 pound-tiger had progressively shown signs of pain and a
decreased appetite, which made it
difficult to administer pain medication.
Phevos was brought to the sanctu-

ary in December on a 20-hour airlift


financed by a British animal careactivist who was concerned about
the tigers condition and the death of
another tiger at a zoo outside
Athens.
He was born in captivity and traveled with an Italian circus group
until he and other tigers were seized
by Greek authorities in 2002
because the circus lacked proper
documentation, the Times reported.
As the Greek economy suffered,
so did conditions at the zoo where
Phevos and his mate Athena were
sent, and neither received necessary
care, the California sanctuary said in
a statement.
The sanctuary is planning a
memorial for Phevos for Saturday.

at the property, and perhaps look to a wealthy
Burlingame resident who would be willing to
build City Hall elsewhere in return for having
the building named in their honor.
Bandrapalli said she does not feel moving
City Hall should be a priority, but is willing to
consider the proposal, should residents feel it
necessary.
Beach concurred her opinion on the matter
would be swayed by community input, but
noted the need to address the safety concerns
associated with an aging facility.
There needs to be really robust public
debate, she said.
Colson said she liked the location of City
Hall, but suggested the opportunity exists to
consolidate the citys seat with the headquarters of the Burlingame Elementary School
District as a creative solution to address the
facility needs of both agencies.
Strengthening bonds between the city and
elementary school district, as well as mending
what has been at times a strained relationship
with officials from the San Mateo Union High
School District is a priority for candidates as
well, they said.
The greatest source of contention between
the city and high school district is delineating
which agency is responsible for maintenance
costs of the Burlingame Aquatic Center,
which is owned by the district but open for
public use because, in large part, of a private
donor.
Colson said she is committed to improving
relations between the two agencies.
My goal is making sure there are open
lines of communication, and transparency,
she said.
Both Bandrapalli and Beach concurred, and

LOCAL/STATE
said ensuring a positive relationship exists
between school and city officials is in the best
interest of residents and students.
Beach noted though as the city and high
school district are both facing elections this
fall, there could be an opportunity for some
fresh perspective to be injected into the governing boards of both agencies.
As officials consider the future of a variety
of facilities, plans continue to develop for the
potential design of a new Recreation Center.
Councilmembers gave feedback in August
on design suggestions for the new building,
slated to be built at the site of the current community center at 850 Burlingame Ave. in
Washington Park, but the revenue source to
pay for its construction has yet to be identified.
Officials have suggested perhaps floating a
bond measure to voters that could generate
the funds necessary to erect the new building,
but candidates said there are a variety of other
issues which should be prioritized before
addressing the Recreation Center.
We need to be cautious not to overextend
ourselves, said Beach.
Storey said he favored either moving forward with putting the bond on the ballot, or
reiterated the opportunity to ask a local
wealthy resident to donate funds for its construction.
Colson said she too is an advocate for asking residents whether they would pay to support a bond financing the building, and said
that effort could be supplemented through
fundraising by the foundation supporting the
Parks and Recreation Department.
Bandrapalli said though she did not consider the project a priority, she favored paying
for it through means which did not include a
tax increase.
We have to come up with innovative and
creative ways to find solutions to our problems, she said.

NorCal town fights back
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOUNTAIN RANCH Mountain Ranch


is known as a Gold Rush-era, fiercely independent place, where many of its aging residents distrust the government and prefer to
take matters into their own hands.
The unincorporated hamlet in Calaveras
County bore the brunt of a destructive
Northern California wildfire and now faces its
greatest test recovering from the ravenous
blaze, which destroyed more than 350 homes
in the town of 1,800.
At the Mountain Ranch Community Club,
neighbors gather each week for emergency
town-hall meetings. In intense discussions,
residents divide up tasks: They arrange transportation for those stranded; they compile
lists of people with homes intact and rooms to
lend; they share information on debris
cleanup, on where you might find cellphone
reception and on where to go for emotional
support, the Sacramento Bee reported

ROBLOX
Continued from page 1
platform for user-created video games where
people of all skill sets can learn how to code.
The vision of the company has always
been to enable the world to play and create
together and to really create a platform where
kids can build anything they want, said Rick
Silvestrini, ROBLOXs chief marketing and
revenue officer. When you introduce a kid to
technology or coding, the first thing they want
to do is build a game. And basically,
ROBLOX enables that, which is kind of magical.
Nearing its 10-year anniversary, the community-created gaming company has made
vast strides this year in not only starting two
new educational programs, but by launching
last week on one of the worlds most prominent video game consoles.
Having provided an online platform for
both video game players and developers for
nearly a decade, ROBLOX amplified its audience by now being available as a free download on Xbox One. Initially starting with 20 of
its most popular user-created games, next year
ROBLOX will expand by giving more developers the option to push their games onto
Xbox, Silvestrini said.
Similar to its computer, phone and tablet
platforms, ROBLOX users can offer in-game
purchases and literally turn their passion into
a business.
Ultimately, thats what attracts many kids,
teens and young adults from across the globe
to use the product a chance to develop
skills that can kick-start a career in the gaming
industry.
Company execs are extremely passionate
about teaching through doing and recently
started ROBLOX University as well as an
accelerator program, Silvestrini said.
The university ran as a pilot this summer
through a partnership with the Mid-Peninsula
Boys and Girls Club. The 10-module program
includes video lecturers and assignments
geared toward assisting kids through exploring 3-D modeling as well as coding. Perhaps
most notable, the university program will be
downloadable and, with easy-to-follow classes, it can be implemented nationwide.
Baszucki, the 52-year-old ROBLOX
founder and CEO, has long had an interest in
using technology as a tool to promote innovative exploration and education. Previously
involved in developing software that simulated physics, Baszucki said he realized how
providing an interactive world for the curious
to manipulate can quickly turn play into learning.
The reason I think ROBLOX is a great
educational experience is that being motivated
by your own interests and passion is when you
learn the most. So people who are buildings
things on ROBLOX and its not just programming, its creating 3-D architecture, its

Sunday.
Phil Alberts, the town historian, had seen
Mountain Ranch endure hardship in previous
years, but never peril such as this massive
firestorm hurtling toward enclave.
Alberts, 82, says he is trying to bring the
town back. He wants to resurrect a place that
has potluck dinners and softball games and
all the stuff that the big cities laugh at.
People refused to leave here after local gold
mines closed for good in 1942. They also
stayed through difficult economic times after
the sawmills shuttered in the 1970s, and again
after a major employer, the Calaveras Cement
Co., perished in 1983.
But as the towns grit is challenged more
than ever, its residents reveal their determination.
Fire victim Jacki Malvini, 48, and her husband erected a modest manufactured home on
a ridge with a spectacular view of mountain
woodlands. She is determined to rebuild.
The Malvinis house wasnt insured for fire.
creating graphics, its designing a game, its
running the politics of a group, its trading
currency theyre all motivated by the fun
and by their peers, Baszucki said.
While users across the world can tune in
remotely, the company decided to start a new
internship or accelerator program that gives a
handful of students the rare opportunity to
break away from coding in their dorm rooms
or bedrooms and learn from ROBLOX staff
while staying in Silicon Valley.
Currently, the second group of eager programmers are three weeks into a 10-week program where theyre given a stipend to work
out of ROBLOXs downtown office and create their own video games, Silvestrini said.
For me, it was a hobby that turned into
something I could do professionally, said
Charlie Geigel, a 20-year-old from Orlando,
Florida.
Josh Snyder, an 18-year-old Ohio native,
said traveling to San Mateo and working out
of the ROBLOX headquarters is remarkably
different than gaming in his hometown of just
10,000 people.
Its been quite an experience. I never
thought Id be here. Ive been playing
ROBLOX for five years, Ive only been
developing for a year and a half, and now Im
actually at ROBLOX meeting everyone whos
on the platform, Snyder said, adding the
accelerator program, has really pushed me to
want to do more and actually seek a career in
the gaming industry.
For up-and-coming programmers like
Snyder and Geigel, ROBLOXs in-game purchases allows them to literally turn their hobbies into a job an opportunity bolstered by
its new Xbox deal, Silvestrini said
The interesting thing here isnt gaming. Its
high schoolers and college students and even
one middle schooler, who have taught themselves how to code and now theyre taking
their games to Xbox, one of the premier
consoles. It has one of the largest overall gaming audiences for anything in the world,
Silvestrini said. Its an opportunity to reach a
whole new mainstream audience that we currently dont have access to. So its great for
them and its great for us.
For Baszucki, watching his company develop has been a dream come true. Conveniently
located in downtown San Mateo, what he calls
an up-and-coming tech-savvy community,
Baszucki said hes thrilled ROBLOX is serving as a platform to support creative youth
across the world.
I think unlike most video game environments, a [user-generated content] environment is a creative environment. So thats
whats really fun and exciting creativity,
Baszucki said. On the programming side, I
think ultimately, all people will learn programming in a video game environment.
What could be more fun?

Pope Francis wraps up US visit


By Nicole Winfield
and Rachel Zoll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA

Pope
Francis urged hundreds of thousands
of the faithful gathered Sunday for
the biggest event of his U.S. visit to
be open to miracles of love, closing out his six-day tour with a message of hope for families, consolation for victims of child sexual
abuse and a warning to Americas
bishops.
Organizers had predicted a crowd
of 1 million for Francis open-air
Mass, and the Benjamin Franklin
Parkway overflowed with the jubilant. They endured hours-long lines
and airport-style security checks to
see historys first pope from the
Americas celebrate the faith in the
birthplace of the United States.
The Mass the last major public
event on Francis itinerary before
the 78-year-old pontiff left for the
airport to return to Rome was a

brilliant tableau
of gold, green
and white in the
slanted evening
sunlight of a
mild
earlyautumn day.
R i d i n g
through
the
Pope Francis streets in his
open-sided
popemobile, the pontiff waved to
cheering, screaming, singing, flagwaving crowds as he made his way
to the altar at the steps of the
columned Philadelphia Museum of
Art.
With a towering golden crucifix
behind him, Francis told his listeners that their presence itself was a
kind of miracle in todays world, an
affirmation of the family and the
power of love.
Would that all of us could be
open to miracles of love for the sake
of all the families of the world, he
said to the hushed crowd spread out

along the tree-lined boulevard


before him.
Crowds a mile away fell silent
during the Communion part of the
Mass. Some people knelt on the
paving stones at City Hall, a few
blocks from the altar.
June Bounds, 56, of Rochester,
New York, watched the Mass with
fellow parishioners on a large screen
at City Hall, closing her eyes and
blinking back tears.
Its very overwhelming, she
said. You feel like youre one body
with everyone here, whether youre
here, whether youre back home,
whether youre anywhere in the
world.
Of the pope, she said: Hes
brought so much joy and holy spirit
into the United States. It doesnt
matter if youre a Catholic; hes just
trying to unite everybody for a better
world.
There was no immediate estimate
of the crowd at the Mass. But there
were signs that the heavy security

Asians expected to become


largest US immigrant group
By Jesse J. Holland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a major shift in


immigration patterns over the next 50 years,
Asians will have surged past Hispanics to
become the largest group of immigrants heading to the United States, according to estimates in a new study of immigration patterns.
The study looks in detail at what will happen by 2065, but the actual tipping point
comes in 2055.
An increase in Asian and Hispanic immigration also will drive U.S. population
growth, with foreign-born residents expected
to make up 18 percent of the countrys projected 441 million people in 50 years, the Pew
Research Center said in a report being
released Monday. This will be a record, higher than the nearly 15 percent during the late
19th century and early 20th century wave of
immigration from Europe.
Today, immigrants make up 14 percent of
the population, an increase from 5 percent in
1965. The actual change is expected to come
in 2055, when Asians will become the largest
immigrant group at 36 percent, compared
with Hispanics at 34 percent. White immi-

grants to America, 80 percent back in 1965,


will hover somewhere between 18 and 20 percent with black immigrants in the 8 percent to
9 percent range, the study said.
Currently, 47 percent of immigrants living
in the United States are Hispanic, but by 2065
that number will have dropped to 31 percent.
Asians currently make up 26 percent of the
immigrant population but in 50 years that percentage is expected to increase to 38 percent.
Part of the reason for the shift is that the fertility rate of women in Latin America and
especially Mexico has decreased, said Mark
Hugo Lopez, Pews director of Hispanic
research. In Mexico, Lopez said, women are
now having around two children, when back
in the 1960s and 1970s, they were having
about seven children per woman.
There are relatively fewer people who
would choose to migrate from Mexico so
demographic changes in Mexico have led to a
somewhat smaller pool of potential
migrants, he said. At the same time weve
seen a growing number of immigrants particularly from China or India who are coming
for reasons such as pursuing a college degree
or coming here to work temporarily in the
high-tech sector.

precautions and weeks of dire warnings from the city may have scared
some people away.
Train ridership was lower than
expected, downtown hotel rooms
went unfilled over the weekend,
normally bustling city streets were
deserted, some businesses closed
early, and many Philadelphians
complained that the precautions
were oppressive.
Earlier in the day, Francis had a
more solemn message for families
scarred by the sins of the church
itself.
The pope met with five victims of
child sexual abuse and told them he
was deeply sorry for the times
they came forward to tell their stories and werent believed. He
assured them that he believes them
and that bishops who covered up for
abusers will be made to answer for
what they did.
I pledge to you that we will follow the path of truth wherever it
may lead, Francis said in Spanish.

Clergy and bishops will be held


accountable when they abuse or fail
to protect children.
Minutes later, he went into a meeting of bishops from the U.S. and
around the world who were in town
for a Catholic festival on the family
and told them the same thing.
God weeps over what was done
to the youngsters, he lamented.
The pope has agreed to create a
new Vatican tribunal to prosecute
bishops who failed to protect their
flock, and he has accepted the resignations of three U.S. bishops
accused of mishandling abuse cases.
During his first meeting with victims, held at the Vatican in July
2014, Francis similarly vowed to
hold bishops accountable, but
Sunday marked the first time that he
had warned the bishops themselves,
face-to-face, and in public.
In an apparent effort to reshape
the discussion, though, the Vatican
said not all the victims at the meeting had been abused by clergy.

War on IS a focus of UN General Assembly


By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT When world leaders


convene for the U.N. General
Assembly this week, it will be a
year since the U.S. president
declared the formation of an international coalition to degrade and
ultimately destroy the Islamic
State group.
Despite billions of dollars spent
and thousands of airstrikes, the
campaign appears to have made little impact.
The extremist group may control
slightly less territory than a year
ago, but it continues to launch
attacks and maintains key strongholds in Syria and Iraq. The militants reach has expanded to other
countries, including Libya, Egypts
Sinai Peninsula and Afghanistan.

U.S.-led airstrikes helped Syrian


Kurds hold the strategic border
town of Kobani in January, and
seize another key border town, Tal
Abyad, this summer. But a muchtouted offensive to oust IS militants
from the Iraqi city of Ramadi
remains stalled; there have been
grave losses among the few Syrian
rebels trained by the U.S. to fight
IS; an IS-free zone announced by
Turkey and the U.S. has failed to
materialize.
At the same time, growing concern about the Syrian refugee crisis
and reports that IS may be planning
attacks against Europe may spur
some countries to get more involved
in the anti-IS coalition.
On Sunday, President Francois
Hollande announced that French
jet fighters had carried out their
first airstrikes against IS targets in

Syria. France had previously limited its air campaign to IS targets in


Iraq.
But short of sending in ground
forces an option Western countries are not willing to entertain
the stalemate in the war against the
Islamic State group is likely to persist.
Quite simply, the countries bestplaced to contribute meaningfully to
the anti-ISIS effort do not share the
same interests in Syria, said Faysal
Itani, a resident fellow at the
Atlantic Council, using an alternate
acronym for the Islamic State
group.
The Russian military buildup of
aircraft, missiles, tanks and other
equipment is complicating the fight
against IS militants in Syria.
Russias declared purpose is helping the government of President

Bashar Assad
battle
the
Islamic extremists,
and
Moscow
has
urged the West
to go along. In
an
interview
broadcast ahead
of his meeting Barack Obama
on Monday with
President Barack Obama, Russian
President Vladimir Putin sharply
criticized U.S. military support for
Syrian rebels, describing it as illegal
and useless.
The Obama administration is concerned that Russias real intention is
to shore up Assad and strike at other
factions seeking to topple him under
the pretext of fighting international
terrorism.
In New York, all eyes will be on

Putin, who is expected to announce


a counterterrorism initiative when
he addresses the General Assembly
on Monday his first UNGA
appearance in 10 years.
The Russian escalation in Syria
will create a flurry of diplomatic
activity to find a political solution to
the Syrian crisis and a fresh attempt
to confront ISIS in Syria, but the
conditions for success on both
fronts are still absent, said Paul
Salem, vice president for policy and
research at the Washington-based
Middle East Institute.
While Putins call for more
efforts to defeat ISIS will fall on
welcoming ears in many capitals,
the new Russian deployment does
not introduce or free up significant
numbers of ground forces to make
such a campaign plausible, he
wrote.

Spains pro-secession parties in New clashes at Jerusalem holy site


Catalonia win landmark vote
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BARCELONA, Spain Pro-secession


parties pushing for Spains northeastern
Catalonia region to break away and form a
new Mediterranean nation won a landmark
vote Sunday by capturing a majority of seats
in the regional parliament, setting up a possible showdown over independence with the
central government in Madrid.
With 98 percent of the vote counted, the
Together for Yes group of secessionists had
62 seats in the 135-member parliament. If
they join forces with the left-wing pro-independence Popular Unity Candidacy party,

which won 10 seats, they will have the 68


seats needed to try to push forward their plan
to make Catalonia independent from Spain by
2017. But CUP had insisted that it would only
join an independence bid if secessionist parties won more than 50 percent of the popular
vote. They won only about 48 percent because
of a quirk in Spanish election law that gives a
higher proportion of legislative seats to rural
areas with fewer voters.
Still, Catalonia leader Artur Mas claimed
victory as a jubilant crowd interrupted him
with cheers and chants of Independence! in
Catalan, which is spoken side by side with
Spanish.

JERUSALEM Israeli riot police briefly


clashed with young Palestinian protesters at
Jerusalems most sensitive holy site early
Sunday, raising tensions ahead of a major
Jewish holiday.
No injuries or arrests were reported following the clashes at a hilltop compound in
Jerusalems Old City that is revered by Jews
and Muslims. The site is a frequent flashpoint
of violence, and Israel has beefed up security
around the area following several rounds of
clashes in recent weeks.
In Sundays incident, police said a small
group of masked Palestinian youths threw

stones and firecrackers at Israeli police gathered at a main entrance to the compound.
Police released video footage showing protesters burning fabric and dropping it into an
adjacent archaeological park. The video
showed smoke and flames, but police
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the fire
caused no damage.
Police, many of them holding riot shields,
responded with stun grenades and the crowd
was quickly dispersed.
Abdelazeem Salhab, an official with the
Jordanian Islamic authority that oversees the
holy site, said the presence of Israeli policemen at an interior gate of the compound
angered the protesters.

OPINION

Guest perspective
they called for an
ambulance. I was
taken to Sequoias
E.R. where tests were
done and scans were
taken. Had I paid
closer attention to my
health, however, perhaps such a dramatic
event need not have
happened to nd out

ack in May, Editor Jon Mays


wrote a column informing Daily
Journal readers of my diagnosis
with non-Hodgkins lymphoma (AITL).
Since that time, I have received numerous emails and cards letting me know
that I have the thoughts and prayers of
many going for me. With their prayers,
attached to those of my family and other
friends, I know a difference is being
made. My treatment is going well and
my spirit is staying strong. The latter
applies to my wife and son as well. Let
me express a big Thank You to all.
Regarding my treatment, I have so far
received four of the six chemotherapy
cycles scheduled. After the six cycles, I
will go through stem cell therapy. I have
not yet discussed with my oncologist
what exactly stem cell therapy is because
it seems enough to ght one battle before
thinking of the second. I do know it
involves a stay in the hospital but thats
about all.
I do have good news to share. After
cycle two, my oncologist ordered a PET
CT scan. It revealed shrinkage of all
lymph nodes by at least 50 percent and
some even by 100 percent. According to
my oncologist, I am ahead of where she
expected.
I also have a lesson to share. My diagnosis wasnt discovered until I passed
out from acute stomach pain one morning. I was having coffee with friends and

I had cancer.
As far back as a year ago, I had been
feeling off. My enthusiasm for doing
things like riding my bike or trail running had waned extensively. Especially
in the afternoon, when I normally would
work out, I felt tired and lethargic. I
attributed the change in energy to getting
older and being weighed down with
responsibilities. That was the rst sign
that something was wrong.
The second came last fall and winter.
During this time of year, I typically
would suffer a cold or maybe get a touch
of the u. Instead, I was sick with one
bug or another from October through
May. Obviously something was amiss
with my immune system.
The nal symptoms came in February
and April. One morning in February, I
woke up with stiff shoulders and what
felt like arthritis in my hands. Knowing
that arthritis runs in my family, I thought
I had suddenly been struck with the disease. Then in April, I came down with an
odd rash. Suffering the rash on top of the

stiffness, I nally went to an urgent care


center. After a week of taking a steroid,
both went away and I thought myself
cured of all ailments.
It turns out, any one of the symptoms I
was having can be attributed to cancer. If
the lesson is not obvious, it is this: if you
are suffering a compound of oddities
with your health, particularly low energy,
getting ill more than usual, suddenly
having joint stiffness or a skin rash, go to
the doctor. It is even fair to suspect you
have cancer and, of course, the sooner
you get treatment the better your chances
for success will be. Dont do what I did
and assume that none of the various factors ailing you are unrelated; certainly
dont attribute them to just feeling a little off.
In closing, I would like to share why I
am being so public with my battle
against cancer. One is touched on above
and can be summed up this way: ghting
cancer is not a battle to be fought alone.
The second is to raise awareness.
Awareness of the disease helps motivate
people to join the battle to nd a cure,
and I always add, to nd the causes as
well. Finally, I want to encourage people
to pay attention to their health. Dont
think you are a hero by suffering needlessly and most of all, dont avoid seeing
a doctor when you need to see one.

Carlos City Council.

Who are the real winners in the
San Mateo housing crisis?
Editor,
I have noted in recent news articles
covering the housing crisis and plight
of displaced tenants, the San Mateo
City Council is described as wanting to
engage the stakeholdersfor analysis,
input and solutions. The City Council
has gone so far as to create a committee comprised of industry representatives to advise future policy decisions
(Housing crisis input abounds in the
Sept. 23 edition of the Daily Journal).
The stakeholders noted seem to be
the property owners, San Mateo
County Association of Realtors real
estate association reps and California
Apartment Association, among others.
Are the actual renters, the tenants
themselves, respected as stakeholders
in our community?
We have professional, experienced,
highly paid management and city staff,
planning commissioners and city councilmembers. Why do we need ad hoc
committees to come up with suggestions to resolve this issue?
This committee will return to the
council in coming months. I do not

think the average tenant has the luxury


of waiting months just to get suggestions. What is needed is immediate
solutions for average folks and seniors
facing outrageous rent increases and
displacements. Why cant our councilmembers, either appointed or elected
by the people they represent, do the
hard work for the benet of all the
community?
The San Mateo City Council praised
Essex Property Trust for agreeing not
to raise rents more than 10 percent a
year. Within one to four years at 10
percent increases, tenants rents would
soon be exorbitant. There is no doubt
that salaries or Social Security do not
increase at the same rate.
Websters denes stakeholder as one
who holds money bet by others and
pays it to the winner. I wonder who
will be the winners?

I was sorry to read the story of the

Woodlake Homeowners Association in
San Mateo at the hands of their former
manager Ms. Lambert (in the Sept. 17

I found it hard to comprehend the
comment of one of the members of the
Woodlake Board of Directors, Mr.
Davis, who said I am very happy that
nally justice may be done.
So my answer to Mr. Davis comment is this: While both the perpetrator
and her accomplice may end up serving
time, (which may be negotiated for a
shorter time), the possibilities of your
association recuperating any of the
funds are very small. They do not have
it!
You may even nd that if you have
D&O coverage, the insurance company
is going to aggressively question your
practices and directors oversight
before paying one single penny.
If Ms. Lamberts was the only signature required on checks, you may as
well say Adios to your money right

ive-and-a-half hours featuring the four on the bottom


tier and then the 11 on the A team. It was depressing.
The downgrading of the American presidency. It was
not only the format. Too many candidates with too little time
to explain their views. Moderators encouraged one candidate
to attack another. Serious policy matters got short shrift.
Slick answers got applause. Nastiness, perpetuated by
Donald Trump, became infectious. If you were not combative, you were a loser. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said
the audience was tired of the back and forth between Trump
and Carly Fiorina over their business careers. Christie had a
point. But voters need to know about Fiorinas record at
Hewlett-Packard and
Trumps record as a casino
tycoon.
Nowhere in this ve plus
hours of negative attacks
was it apparent that these
people were running for or
capable of the ofce of president of the United States.
The economy can go down
in a free fall. Instability
throughout the world can
end in catastrophe unless
there is an intelligent and
wise leader at the helm. The
debates were an insult to our
democratic government and
to past presidents of both
parties. As Ohio Gov. John Kasich said, it was a demolition
derby.
Is it all Donald Trumps fault? Has he started or just fed
on the craziness?
The New York Times editorial on Sept. 18 said it best:
Peel back the boasting and insults, the lies and exaggerations common to any presidential campaign. What remains is
a collection of assertions so untrue, so bizarre that they form
a vision which is surreal and frightening. ... The speakers
were no longer living in a fact-based world where actions
have consequences, programs take money and money has to
come from somewhere ... where the Congress and the public,
allies and enemies, markets and militaries dont just do what
you want them to do just because you say they will.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in a Sept. 18 editorial headed, Why Americans hate politics called the debate an
insultathon. At the moment the outsiders are setting the
tone for the GOP primary, as if inexperience in public policy
were a virtue and lapses in knowledge and diplomacy could
be instantly addressed on Inauguration Day ... . Meanwhile,
issues such as global trade, college affordability and technology were all but ignored.
According to New York Times columnist Gail Collins,
the only candidate who seemed remotely sensible on
national security issues was Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul,
which is almost as disturbing as the spectacle of Mr. Trump
being the only voice of economic reason.
***
Why are some of these people even running for president?
Lets start with the B team. Bobby Jindal, governor of
Louisiana, is the most obnoxious of the bunch. His poll ratings at home are so low maybe hes looking for love elsewhere. He comes off as bitter and nasty. The next most
offensive is Lindsay Graham, senator from South Carolina,
who is offering the lives of thousands of young American
troops to ght wherever and whatever the enemy as the basis
of his campaign. Its hard not to like Rick Santorum, former
Pennsylvania senator. He at least seems sincere about his
religious beliefs. But while he won the Iowa primary four
years ago, today he is so low in the polls it is pitiful. The big
question is why an intelligent man like George Pataki, former governor of New York, is on the stage. He seems
embarrassed to be part of this team, so why is he doing this?
As for the A team, the most offensive member without a
doubt is Ted Cruz, senator from Texas. He has a couple of
rich donors who like his style of extreme politics but his
Senate peers dont. He is not a team player, doesnt believe
in compromise. If he wants to be a dictator, he should nd
some other country to run. Those of us who live in the Bay
Area know Fiorina. We watched her campaign collapse
against U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer because of her tainted
career at Hewlett-Packard. Yes, she is great with the one-liners and certainly more eloquent than many of the other candidates, but no chance to be the nominee. Maybe VP.
It is tragic what has happened to the Republican candidate
best equipped to be president. Former Florida governor Jeb
Bushs performance in the last two debates have made him
vulnerable. Meanwhile, Kasich would be a threat to the
Democrats in the general election especially if he chose
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as his running mate. Kasich is
experienced, articulate and practical. Fortunately, for the
Democrats, thats not a formula for success in todays
Republican party.

VW facing tsunami of legal trouble


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

and for conspiracy, fraud and false


statements, said David M.
Uhlmann, a former chief of the
Justice
Departments
Environmental Crimes Section who
is now a law professor at the
University of Michigan. He called
criminal charges almost certain.
But Uhlmann cautioned that hauling the executives involved into a
U.S. courtroom could be challenging because much of the conduct at
issue probably occurred overseas.
While the U.S. has an extradition
treaty with Germany, European regulators are also now investigating
and could claim first dibs on prosecuting company officials.
Its not the first time Volkswagen
has been accused of cheating on
emissions testing by the EPA. In
July 1973, the agency found that
VW had installed temperature-sensitive devices that turned off emissions controls on about 25,000
Fastback, Squareback and bus models. The company agreed to remove
the devices and eventually settled
with the Justice Department, paying
a $120,000 penalty.
CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned
on Wednesday, and Volkswagen
announced it would set aside $7.3
billion to cover the cost of the scandal, but even that may not be
enough. The company has apologized, but has not yet detailed who
was responsible for the defeat
devices.
German media reported Sunday
that Volkswagen had received warnings years ago about the use of illegal tricks to defeat emissions tests.
Bild am Sonntag said VWs internal
investigation has found a 2007 letter
from parts supplier Bosch warning

WASHINGTON Who knew


about the deception, when did they
know it and who directed it?
Those are among questions that
state and federal investigators want
answered as they plunge into the
emissions scandal at Volkswagen
that has cost the chief executive his
job, caused stock prices to plummet
and could result in billions of dollars in fines.
Legal experts say the German
automaker is likely to face significant legal problems, including
potential criminal charges, arising
from its admission that 11 million
of its diesel vehicles sold worldwide
contained software specifically
designed to help cheat emissions
tests.
The Environmental Protection
Agency has accused VW of
installing sophisticated stealth software that enabled clean diesel
versions of its Passat, Jetta, Golf
and Beetle models to detect when
they were being tested and emit
less-polluting exhaust than in realworld driving conditions. The
agency says the defeat devices
allowed those models to belch up to
40 times the allowed amounts of
harmful fumes in order to improve
driving performance.
The Justice Department says its
working closely with EPA investigators.
If there is sufficient evidence to
show that Volkswagen intentionally
programmed its vehicles to override
the emission control devices, the
company and any individuals
involved could face criminal
charges under the Clean Air Act,

owners.
Theyre facing a tsunami of possible state and federal enforcement
actions, and a potential large number of violations including
administrative, civil and criminal,
said William Carter, a former federal prosecutor in Los Angeles who
specialized in environmental crimes
and served as general counsel of the
California
Environmental
Protection Agency.
Investigators will almost certainly
look for any false statements made
to the EPA and for signs that VW
has tried to conceal wrongdoing or
obstruct regulators. Fraud charges
could be considered if evidence
emerges that company executives
used the Internet or the mail system
to carry out the deception. And
money laundering allegations will
be explored if investigators suspect
that VW sent illicit proceeds overseas.
If a software package such as
this were intentionally designed to
defeat the emissions testing, there
may well be email traffic, meetings,
records that would establish that
intent, said Gregory Linsin, a former environmental crimes prosecutor at the Justice Department.
But Linsin said he expected the
Justice Department also to take into
account the multiple investigations
likely to take place worldwide, and
to not punish the automaker in a
way that jeopardizes its ability to
stay in business.
The problems at VW come as the
Justice Department faces growing
pressure to prosecute individual
executives and employees for corporate misdeeds.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY Orange


Countys natural water supplies come
from just three sources: limited rain, a
single unreliable river and aquifers.
But those are nowhere near enough to
support the lawn-and-pool lifestyle that
helped the home of Disneyland grow
from 700,000 residents in 1960 to about
3.1 million today. So utilities must mix a
sort of waterworks cocktail that includes
importing snowmelt from distant mountains, making toilet water tap-worthy
and capturing storm runoff. Eventually,
they may strain the salt from ocean
water.
The countys diverse efforts to keep
water flowing are a model for other
communities across the nation with
stressed supplies.
Roughly 112 million Americans are

now affected by drought, according to


federal calculations. Some California
communities have lost running water.
Parts of Georgia and Texas are abnormally dry or back in drought several
years after emerging from one. Farmers
in Kansas are pumping aquifers far
faster than rain replenishes natures
underground storage. In a recent survey
by the U.S. Government Accountability
Office, 40 of 50 state water managers
said they anticipate some supply shortages over the next decade.
Yet water problems in the U.S. are less
an issue of supply than distribution. Far
more precipitation falls from the sky
across the country during an average
year than is used by every home, farm,
ranch, business or factory.
The U.S. Geological Survey estimated
that total average water use in the Lower
48 states for everything but energy production was about 70 trillion gallons in

2010, the latest year for which data was


available. About 24 times that amount
falls as rain in an average year. The
annual surplus is so great that it could
cover the continental U.S. with water
more than 2 feet deep, but there is little
political appetite or funding to expand
the kind of water storage and distribution systems that allowed the growth and
agricultural boom in the West.
Periodically, someone suggests building a pipeline to supply Californias
thirsty cities with water from rural, wetter regions. Serious proposals for
pipelines to Alaska in the 1990s and far
Northern California in the 1970s were
rejected as far too expensive.
Officials in Kansas, where the
Ogallala aquifer has dropped more than
100 feet in some places, floated the idea
of building a 360-mile canal and 15
pumping stations to move Missouri
River water across the state.

CSM loses shocker to Delta

It just wasnt the Bulldogs day.


Not only did No. 2-ranked College of
San Mateo (3-1) suffer a huge upset with a
43-30 loss Saturday at unranked San
Joaquin Delta (2-2). The Bulldogs were
hardly even in the game.
CSM turned over the ball on each of its
first two possessions and Delta capitalized, jumping out to a 16-0 lead by the end
of the first quarter.

We were playing uphill the whole


game, CSM head coach Bret Pollack said.
The Mustangs then rode running back
Evan Owens to a career day, as the sophomore totaled a triple-digit rushing total for
the first time in his career. Owens gained 236
total yards, collecting a game-high 188 running yards on 24 carries; he also had a teamhigh 48 receiving yards on three catches. He
rushed for 401 yards all last season.
Really good job on his part, both running
the ball and catching the ball out of the backfield, Delta head coach Gary Barlow said.

The second half featured two polaropposite quarters. With Delta leading 2610 at halftime, the two teams totaled
totaled five touchdowns in the third quarter. But the Delta defense pitched a fourthquarter shutout, holding CSM to just two
first downs throughout.
We just didnt execute well, Pollack
said. No mystery. They gave everything
they always give and Delta just did a
better job of executing than we did.

Cardinals win 47-7 as S.F. is blown out for second straight week
By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE Colin Kaepernicks first


pass was off his back foot. Interception,
touchdown. Next series, another off-balance
throw. Interception, touchdown.
Not much chance of the San Francisco
49ers recovering from a start like that.
Same thing might be said about their season
after consecutive blowout losses.
Kaepernick had two interceptions returned
for touchdowns in his first four pass

attempts and threw four overall, setting the


stage for San Franciscos embarrassing 477 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Very hard to see myself go out and play
like that and hurt my team the way I did,
Kaepernick said. I nullified all the efforts
of every other player on that field today and
thats something I have to fix.
Kaepernick threw for 67 yards on 9-of-19
passing and had a quarterback rating of 16.7.
Tyrann Mathieu had two interceptions off
Kaepernick, including one for a touchdown,
and Justin Bethel had the other pick-six.

With their quarterback ineffective, the


49ers (1-2) tried turning to the run. They
didnt have much success there, either, gaining 103 yards on 29 carries.
The 49ers defense was just as bad, allowing
Carson Palmer to pick them apart and Chris
Johnson to run around and through them.
Palmer threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns, both to Larry Fitzgerald. Arizonas
still-spry veteran finished with 11 catches
for 134 yards.

Everybody was really excited, Crader

to be pumped. We beat a really talented and
well-coached team in the final.
The Scots didnt drop a set through the
tourney. Sweeping through pool play, they
allowed less than 20 points in every set
through three matches to down Pioneer-San

Everybody had contributed in each

Heston (12-10), who pitched a no-hitter
at the New York Mets on June 9, had been 05 with a 4.90 ERA in nine starts since beating Milwaukee on July 27. He retired his
first 10 batters Sunday, then allowed
Oakland to load the bases when Mark Canha

NFL brief
Big Ben injured in Steelers win

By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NINERS

least 40 points in consecutive games for first


time since 1969. It was the franchises largest
margin of victory since beating Houston 440 in 1970.
In other words, a total domination.
We just got embarrassed today, 49ers
linebacker Ahmad Brooks said. We really got
embarrassed today.
The 49ers had dominated the series against
the Cardinals, winning 10 of 12.
But this was a much different team than San
Francisco has had following an offseason
makeover.
The 49ers had mixed results to open the season, beating Minnesota 20-3 at home before
getting blasted at Pittsburgh 43-18, so it was
tough to get a gauge on just where this team
stands.
They certainly were on shaky ground
against the Cardinals.
Kaepernick, who led San Francisco to the
Super Bowl just three years ago, had a decent
start to the season, throwing for 500 yards
and two touchdowns while completing 69
percent of his passes. He had no interceptions
in 72 attempts.
He got off to an awful start against Arizona,
throwing two interceptions in his first four
attempts, both returned for touchdowns.
Bethel had the first one, stepping in front
of Vernon Davis for an easy 21-yard score.
Mathieu grabbed the next Kaepernick off-balance throw, returning it 33 yards to quickly
put Arizona up 14-0.
Kaepernicks four passes in the first quarter:
two completions for 10 yards and two interceptions returned for 54.
The biggest thing was I didnt play well,
said Kaepernick, who had a 12-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. I put our team
behind the 8-ball from the jump and we never
rebounded from that.
Kaepernick threw another interception late
in the second quarter right after Palmer
threw one to set up Matt Catanzaros 22yard field goal on the final play to put the
Cardinals up 31-7 at halftime.
It didnt get any better in the second half.

ST. LOUIS Ben Roethlisberger was carted off the field with a knee injury in the second half and Pittsburghs
defense came through to
give the Steelers (2-1) a
12-6 victory over the
Rams (1-2) on Sunday.
Will Allens interception with 1:56 left set up

SEATTLE One burst of speed from rookie Tyler Lockett ignited Russell Wilson,
Jimmy Graham and the rest of the Seahawks
after a sleepy start against Chicago.
Lockett returned the second-half kickoff
105 yards for a touchdown, Wilson and
Graham connected on a 30-yard TD in the
third quarter, and the Seahawks routed the
undermanned Bears 26-0 on Sunday.
Seattle led just 6-0 at halftime after an
offensive performance that led to a cascade
of boos. Lockett started a huge second half

when he went untouched


on a perfectly executed
return, the longest in
franchise history. Later
in the quarter, Wilson
found Graham across the
middle for his second
touchdown catch of the
season.
Steven Hauschka added
Tyler Lockett
four field goals and the
Seahawks started the process of erasing an
0-2 start.
Chicago (0-3) was shut out for the first
time since 2002 and the fourth time since

1990. Jimmy Clausen started at quarterback


in place of Jay Cutler and was 9 of 17 for 63
yards. Chicago punted on all 10 of its possessions. Matt Forte was held to 74 yards
on 20 carries and the Bears finished with
just 37 yards in the second half.
Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch
capped a strange day by leaving at halftime
with a hamstring injury. Lynch finished
with 14 yards on five carries and spent half
of the first quarter in the locker room before
coming to the Seahawks bench.
Lynchs replacement became undrafted
rookie Thomas Rawls, who flashed by rushing for 104 yards, 98 in the second half.

Cal tops Washington


to open Pac-12 play

JOE CAMPOREALE/USA TODAY SPORTS

Carlos Hyde is tackled in the end zone for a


third-quarter safety Sunday in Arizona.
Looking deep on the first play of the third
quarter, Kaepernick underthrew his receiver
and was intercepted by Jerraud Powers. Palmer
followed with a 4-yard touchdown pass to
Fitzgerald to make it 38-7.
That gave Kaepernick four interceptions
and five completions in 10 pass attempts
and the 49ers no shot.
Jerrauds interception to start the second
half was huge to set the momentum that we
werent just going to sit there, Arizona coach
Bruce Arians said. Then to answer that with a
touchdown, we really shut the door.
Possibly on San Franciscos season.

SEATTLE Jared Goff threw for 342


yards and a pair of touchdowns, and
California held off Washingtons secondhalf rally for a 30-24 victory in the Pac-12
Conference opener for both schools.
California improved to 4-0 for the first
time since 2007 and may find itself back it
the Top 25 next week for the first time since
2010 after winning on the road for the second straight week.
This time there was no late escape for the
Bears thanks to special teams mistakes like
last week at Texas. Goff was 24-of-40 passing and had touchdowns of 28 yards to Bryce
Treggs and 8 yards to Kenny Lawler. Matt
Anderson hit three field goals, including a
37-yarder with 5:34 left to give the Bears a
30-21 lead.
Washington (2-2, 0-1) got a 70-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Sidney Jones
to cut the deficit to 27-21 late in the third
quarter but the Huskies fumbled on their next
possession in California territory and could
not get closer.

Gordon sets NASCAR record with 789th straight start


By Dan Gelston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUDON, N.H. Jeff Gordon kissed his


wife and high-fived his two young children on
pit road, a part of his life missing when he
made his Cup debut in 1992.
What has been familiar for all 23 years of
Gordons career was starting a NASCAR race
in the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick
Motorsports.
Hes never missed one and now hes
NASCARs new Iron Man.
Gordons latest milestone in a surefire Hall
of Fame career came Sunday at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway when he set the NASCAR
record with his 789th consecutive start. The
44-year-old Gordon passed Ricky Rudd for the
record. Rudd set the mark in 2002 when he
broke Terry Labontes streak of 655 consecutive races.
Jeffs a good guy, so if someones going to
break the record, better him than not one of
your favorites, Rudd said by phone to The
Associated Press. Ive done my time. People
still remember me. I may not be Iron Man 1.
Maybe Im Iron Man 2 now.

Local football roundup


Sacred Heart Prep 76, Carmel 55
Sacred Heart Prep (2-2) got back in the
win column Saturday with the single highest point total in 13th year head coach Pete
Lavoratos tenure to down Carmel (1-2). The
Gators had 605 yards of total offense,
including tailback Lapitu Mahonis careerhigh 200 rushing yards on 22 carries and
four touchdowns. Thomas Wine added 22
carries for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

Kings Academy 48, San Lorenzo 14


The Kings Academy (3-0) remained unbeaten Saturday with a win at San Lorenzo Valley
(1-2). Freshman quarterback Michael
Johnson, Jr. gained 338 total yards, netting a
6-for-10 passing game for a career-high 265
yards and three touchdowns; he also rushed
six times for 73 yards and a touchdown.

Gordon will retire at the


end of the season and shift
in 2016 into the Fox
broadcast booth.
The four-time Cup
champions streak began
with his Cup debut on
Nov. 15, 1992, at Atlanta
Motor Speedway. He has
Jeff Gordon never missed a race and
holds the record for the
longest consecutive starts streak from the
beginning of a career.
Should Gordon make every start the rest of
the season, hell have 797 consecutive starts.
Gordon has four series championships and
his 92 wins have him third on the career list,
trailing only Hall of Famers Richard Petty
(200) and David Pearson (105).
Gordon and his family took a parade lap
around the New Hampshire track in a duck boat
usually reserved for Bostons champions.
Its rare that we get the team and my whole
family and they get to ride around the track
with me like that, so that was very special,
Gordon said.
Gordons first race came in the last one for

Petty, now a team owner. The Atlanta race was


won by another Hall of Famer in Bill Elliott,
whose son Chase will replace Gordon next
season at Hendrick Motorsports.
Gordon was saluted Sunday by baseballs
Iron Man, Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
Ripken started 2,632 straight games for the
Baltimore Orioles like Gordon, he set the
streak with one team.
Congratulations to Jeff on an amazing
career, Ripken said. His love of his sport
shows in the way he races and the fact he is
about to become the Iron Man of racing. His
ability to compete at the highest level of such
a demanding sport for so long is a testament
to his passion and skill.
Rudd, who had 23 wins and never won a
championship, methodically built his streak
from 1981 to 2005 and won at least one race a
season from 1983 to 1998.
Rudd, who once taped his swollen eyes
open so he could drive, said he never thought
any driver from his era would last long enough
to break his record.
I knew it was possible, but with the kids
that come in today because theyre so young,
Rudd said.

GIANTS

George Kontos replaced Heston following


Muncys triple and allowed his 12th inherited runner of his last 27 to score.

Continued from page 11


seven hits in a season-low 2 1/3 innings.
We got behind big today. Our fans tried to
pick us up and carry us through, As manager Bob Melvin said. It would have been
nice to win the series here, definitely, to end
the season for them. Because they came out
really enthusiastic for us. Its disappointing
we couldnt get one more win out of it.
Brown, Angel Pagan and Kelby Tomlinson
drove in runs to give the Giants a 3-0 lead in
the second. Mac Williamson and Brown had
RBIs in the third for a 5-0 advantage.
Billy Burns hit a two-run double in the
fifth, and Max Muncy tripled in a run and
scored on Vogts single in the sixth.

NASCAR brief
Kenseth wins 2nd race of playoffs
LOUDON, N.H. Matt Kenseth pushed
Kevin Harvick down the stretch and took
the lead for good when the defending series
champion ran out of gas Sunday at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second
race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint
Cup Championship.
Kenseth advanced to the second round of
NASCARs playoffs and gave Joe Gibbs
Racing its fourth straight win.
Harvick had the dominant car and led the
most laps but a gamble to stretch his fuel to
the end backfired and he faded to 21st.

SCOTS
Continued from page 11
Morrow entered into the year as one of the
PALs best middle-hitting scoring threats.
And she is realizing that potential with consistency. She registered a .692 hitting percentage in the semis, according to Crader.
She continued that pace into the finals, tabbing a . 667 hitting percentage against
Mountain View.
Shes really hard to stop, so if we can
pass the ball up to the net were going to
give it to her a lot, Crader said. And yeah,
she was feeling it.
The secret weapon that helped dominate
Hillsdale in the semis was the Scots other
opposite hitter, Alex Lay. The 5-11 senior
hasnt played since Carlmonts second
match of the year Sept. 3 against St.
Ignatius. Lay sprained her ankle in that
game. Her recovery was hampered by illness
last week.
So, after playing sparingly through pool
play Saturday, Crader said he took a chance
by upping her playing time in the semis.
And Lay delivered.
Shes had a rough year but shes been
working hard at practice the past couple
days now that shes been able to, Crader
said. I took a chance putting her in there
against Hillsdale and she played great.
In the finals, Carlmont benefitted from a
critical Mountain View injury, when senior
middle blocker Emma Blockhus left the
floor in the Spartans semifinal win over
Saratoga. Blockhus who Crader coached
in club volleyball last season with
Mountain View Volleyball Club 17 Red is
Mountain Views second-leading scorer with
2. 1 kills per set. Only senior Chanti
Holroyd is better with 4.0 kills per set.
That helped us a little bit, but we served it
really well and were playing really good
defense so that put a lot of pressure on
them, Crader said.

Parkers three-homer day highlights Stewart to retire


after
2016
season
sendoff for As legendary Big Three
By Jenna Fryer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Jarrett Parker had no words


for being mentioned right along with Hall
of Famer Willie Mays.
The rookie became the first Giants player
to have at least three homers and seven
RBIs in a game since Mays did it 54 years
ago, overshadowing the disappointing
starts in the feel-good matchup of Tim
Hudson and Barry Zito as San Francisco
beat the As 14-10 on Saturday.
Parker hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the
eighth for his third home run. Mays had four
homers and eight RBIs on April 30, 1961,
at Milwaukee.
Thats unbelievable, Parker said.
Speechless. I cant really even respond to
that to be even mentioned in that kind of
company.
Hardly at their best of yesteryear when
they dominated as part of Oaklands Big
Three, Hudson and Zito shared their brief
moment to say goodbye to the Bay Area
baseball fans in what began as a nostalgic,
throwback moment and ended with Parkers
power surge.
Short it was for the starters, with
Oaklands Zito throwing two innings and
outlasting Hudsons 1 1-3 for the Giants, 11
years after they last pitched together here in
2004.
Parkers grand slam came against Ryan
Dull (0-1) after a solo shot off Zito in the
second and a two-run drive in the seventh.
Bruce Bochy managed late Hall of Famer
Tony Gwynn and home run king Barry
Bonds and Parkers big day was the best
offensive performance he has seen.
He looks like The Natural right now the
way hes swinging the bat, Bochy said,
calling it light-tower power.
Parker is the first San Francisco player
with a three-homer game since Pablo
Sandoval on Sept. 4, 2013, at San Diego
and the first Giants rookie to hit three
homers. He hit a monster drive into the second deck Friday night and has five home
runs in his last nine at-bats.
Parkers obviously doing something
pretty special over there right now. I guess
it was fun to be a part of that for him, Zito
said.
Hudson yielded consecutive bases-loaded
walks and a hit batsman with the bases full
to make it 4-3 in the second. Bochy
removed Hudson to boos, then the pitcher
walked off and gave a slight wave and tip of

Above: Jarrett Parker celebrates after hitting


his third home run of the day, a grand slam to
give the Giants a 14-10 lead in Saturdays win.
Top right: Tim Hudson waves to the crowd after
departing the game at O.co Coliseum, his home
ball yard for the first six years of his MLB career.
Bottom right: Barry Zito fires a pitch in his first
start with the Oakland As since 2006.
his cap though clearly disappointed. It wasnt an easy call for the skipper.
The fans kept cheering Hudson as Ryan
Vogelsong threw his warmup tosses, then
Hudson re-emerged for the curtain call. He
tapped his heart, pointed toward Zito,
pumped his fist in the air and waved in all
directions.
Just a few minutes later, Zito walked
Buster Posey to begin the third and his day,
too, was done. The left-hander briefly covered his face with his jersey and walked off,
tipping his cap before disappearing into
the dugout. Zito returned to wave between
innings as fans chanted Barry! Barry!
Hudson had never faced the As here and
was back on the Coliseum mound for the
first time since Oct. 3, 2004.
Reliever Javier Lopez had No. 17 black
Hudson T-shirts ordered for everybody to
wear them before the game. Oakland players
wore Zito-style high green socks for his
first start in the majors since Sept. 25,
2013, and likely his last.
Bothered lately by a bum hip, Hudson

still hopes to start the series finale against


the Dodgers on Thursday at AT&T Park,
where the Giants plan to recognize him during their final homestand.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Tony Stewart will


announce hes retiring following the 2016
season at a news conference Wednesday, The
Associated Press has learned.
Stewart-Haas Racing said Sunday night that
Stewart and team co-owner Gene Haas will hold
a news conference at the
team shop this week. The
topic was not disclosed,
but a person familiar with
Stewarts plans told AP the
three-time NASCAR champion will announce his
planned retirement.
The person spoke to AP
on condition of anonymiTony Stewart
ty because Stewart hasnt
publicly disclosed his plans.
Stewart, who finished 11th on Sunday at
New Hampshire, did not return a request for
comment from AP.
His planned departure, first reported
Sunday by Motorsport.com, is not a surprise. Stewart will be 45 next season, hasnt
won a race in over two years and has been
privately working on finding a successor
for the No. 14 Chevrolet all year.
Clint Bowyer, released from his contract
with Michael Waltrip Racing because the
team is folding at the end of the season, will
likely replace Stewart in 2017. Bowyer has
been looking for a one-year deal for next
season as a stopgap while Stewart runs his
18th and final Cup season. SHR also field
cars for reigning series champion Kevin
Harvick, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick.

CSM
Continued from page 11
Bulldogs quarterback Dru Brown
suffered the worst game of his collegiate career. Not only did the
freshman complete just 10-of-25
passes his lowest completion
total in four games for 178
yards, he was responsible for all
three CSM turnovers.
Going deep right out of the gate,
Brown threw interception on first
play of the game with cornerback
Alex Lee picking it off 29 yards
downfield. The Mustangs quickly
converted, catching CSM off
guard out of the spread offense
with four straight rushing plays to
Owens for 14, 43, 1 and 1 yards,
the last going for a touchdown.
Some of the problems weve
had going into Saturdays game is
we havent done a good job blocking for the running game and the
passing game, and I think [the
offensive line] had their best
game, Barlow said.
The Bulldogs took a big hit in
the first half when freshman fullback Joey Wood exited with a
shoulder injury. He was still CSMs
third-leading rusher with 37 yards
on seven carries. While he did not
return, Pollack said the injury probably wont be a long-term issue.
I wont know until Monday
when I get in, but it didnt seem to
be a big deal, Pollack said.
CSM then turned over the ball
again on its second possession.

This time it was Brown on a fumble, giving Delta the ball near
midfield. The Mustangs later converted with a 6-yard touchdown
pass from Arnold Kimble to Jalen
Ward. Delta added a 24-yard field
goal by Joel Chavez with five
minutes remaining in the first
quarter to take a 16-0 lead.
CSM opened the second quarter
with a 24-yard field goal of its
own, as Anthony Cantabrana hit
his first of the year to get the
Bulldogs on the board, closing
Deltas lead to 16-3. But after
CSM and Delta traded touchdowns
in the second quarter, Chavez
added a 43-yard field goal to
improve Deltas lead to 26-10
going into halftime.
Freshman running back Isaiah
Williams paced CSM with 54 rushing yards on 13 carries, including
three touchdowns. He scored twice
amid the fireworks of the third
quarter. CSM freshman Ramiah
Marshall capped the third quarter
with a 98-yard kickoff return to cut
Deltas lead to 40-30.
But after Chavez opened the
final quarter with his third field
goal of the game, from 22 yards
out, the Bulldogs couldnt move
the ball. The Bulldogs endured
three stunted drives, the fina ending with a costly fumble by Brown
on their final offensive play with
2:17 remaining in regulation.
Delta outgained CSM 481-336
on the day.
CSM hosts No. 16-ranked
American River Saturday at 1 p.m.
Last season, it was American
River (3-1) that handed CSM its
first loss of the season.

MLS brief
Quakes get critical 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake
SAN JOSE Matias Perez Garcia scored in the 87th
minute to give the San Jose Earthquakes a 1-0 victory over
Real Salt Lake on Sunday, a result they desperately needed to
keep their playoff hopes alive.
San Jose (12-12-7, 43 points) closed within a point of
Portland for the final playoff spot in the Western
Conference. The Earthquakes have three games left, and
Portland has four to go.
Real Salt Lake (10-11-8, 38) remained six points behind
the Timbers with four games remaining.
Garcia approached a ball that Quincy Amarikwa headed
back to him outside the box and he launched a left-footed
shot that deflected of a Salt Lake defender into the bottom
right corner. Garcia ripped off his jersey in celebration and
was rewarded with his second yellow card, forcing the
Quakes to play a man down through the end that included
four minutes of stoppage time.

Hotel Transylvania 2 bites off September record


By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

hen I was a kid, Family Feud


was the popular game show, and
its host, Richard Dawson (of earlier Hogans Heroes fame) smooched more
ladies than the combined casts of Big Brother
and Jersey Shore. Charmer or lothario?
Opinions varied, but he was the original. I
dont know if he ever asked Name the top
classic lame excuses, but it was that kind of
question which attracted all kinds of viewers,
not just trivia geeks. How about these
answers: 5). I overslept; 4). Its not you, its
me; 3). I had to wash my hair; 2). Something
suddenly came up (thanks, Marcia Brady!);
and the number one classic lame excuse ...
survey SAYS ... dog ate my homework.
When the dog gets loose, many dog owners
say Our gardener left the gate open. I suspect its true sometimes. More often than not,
I have to believe the dog owner feels guilty
or embarrassed that they did something careless and offers that as an excuse. For those
times when it is true, the owner is still being
somewhat careless. We know that gardeners
enter and exit your yard a few times when
they visit, they are hustling since they have a
few more houses on their list and they care
less about your dog than you do. Dont put
your dog in that precarious position. If you
dont let the gardener go like we did, you can
minimize the risk. Introduce your gardener to
your dog so they have familiarity. Replace
regular hinges on your gate with self-closing
hinges. If you can, bring your dog inside on
the days your gardener is scheduled to work.
Related, when we nd stray dogs without
collars and ID tags and reunite them with the
owners, the number one explanation is I
took the collar off because I was giving my
dog a bath. Funny thing, the dogs arent
usually clean, wet or smelling like shampoo.

LOS ANGELES September has a new


box office star in Hotel Transylvania 2. The
PG-rated animated pic earned a robust $47.5
million in its debut weekend, making it the
top September opener of all time, according to
Rentrak estimates Sunday.
The previous record holder was Hotel
Transylvania which opened to $42.5 million
in 2012.
It really is something the whole family can
agree to see. There are laughs for adults, kids,
and teenagers as well, said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony.
According to the studio, an estimated 59
percent of audiences were female and 60 percent were under the age of 25.

Top 10 movies
1.Hotel Transylvania 2, $47.5 million
($29.2 million international).
2.The Intern, $18.2 million
($11.8 million international).
3.Maze Runner:The Scorch Trials,$14 million ($28.4 million international).
4.Everest, $13.1 million
($33.8 million international).
5.Black Mass, $11.5 million.
6.The Visit, $6.7 million
($5 million international).
7.The Perfect Guy, $4.8 million.
8.War Room, $4.3 million
($2.1 million international).
9.The Green Inferno, $3.5 million
($400K international).
10.Sicario, $1.8 million
($3.5 million international).
Paul Dergarabedian, a Senior Media
Analyst for box office tracker Rentrak, noted
that the film capitalized on early excitement
for Halloween. Its also serving an audience
eager for more family friendly animated content.
This year hasnt been oversaturated with
family animated films, it seems like virtually
all have done well, he said.
The film, which cost around $80 million to
make, features the voices of Adam Sandler,
Mel Brooks, Selena Gomez and Kevin James
and is the only animated feature on the market
until Peanuts opens in November.

Hotel Transylvania 2 was the weekends top movie and stars Adam Sandler.
The Intern, a PG-13 rated workplace
comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Robert
De Niro, took second with a solid $18.2 million.
Audiences for the Nancy Meyers written
and directed film were 62 percent women and
88 percent over the age of 25. Significantly,
55 percent were over 50-years-old an audience that doesnt typically rush out to see
films on opening weekend.
Nancy Meyers is her own brand and I
think that automatically accesses an audience
who looks at it and thinks this is a movie I
want to see, said Jeff Goldstein, an executive vice president at Warner Bros., of the veteran filmmaker known for films like Its
Complicated.
Here we have a real hit, he said.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials took
third place in its second weekend in theaters
with $14 million a 54 percent drop from its
opening. The film has brought in $51.7 million to date.
Everest, meanwhile, landed in fourth
place with only $13.1 million
after expanding nationwide.
The fact-based adventure film
opened only on IMAX and
premium large format 3D
screens last weekend.
Its very difficult to know
where a film is going to land
when theres no good comp
for it. Based on the releasing
pattern we had for the movie,
were kind of blazing a new
trail. You can call it an experiment if you will, said Nick

Carpou, who heads Universals domestic distribution.


When you add the two weekends together
and the mid-weeks in between, sitting here at
$23 million feels really good.
Dergarabedian said that perhaps the competition over the same audience is the reason for
Everests soft weekend.
Its really crowded out there,
Dergarabedian said. Both Black Mass, in
fifth place with $11.5 million, and Everest
have been pulling in predominantly male
audiences.
The well-reviewed border drama Sicario
is also dividing audience attentions. It cracked
the top 10 with $1.8 million from only 59 theaters.
Hope isnt lost for Everest, though.
Internationally, it has earned $73.7 million to
date. Also, with a solid A CinemaScore, word
of mouth should be strong in the coming
weeks, despite the direct competition of next
weeks The Walk, another vertiginous,
event film that will take over IMAX screens.

ESHOO SUPPORTS NONPROFIT

WALK TO END ALZHEIMERS

U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, Puente Board President Laura Franco and supporter Julian
Orr as Eshoo speaks at a fundraiser for Puente de la Costa Sur, a Pescadero nonprofit. In June,
Puente lost a grant for its youth leadership program. The grant redirected funding to youth
no longer in school, while Puente helps youth stay in school. This month, Puente received a
$40,000 match to help recoup the lost funds.

Peninsula Volunteers Chris Berry, Pam Sachs, Kathi Minden, Florence Marchick, Barbara Kalt
and Connie Vincent, the Rosener House Walkers, participated in the Walk to End Alzheimers
on Saturday, Sept. 19. As a nonprofit partner, Rosener House will receive 60 percent of the
funds raised back to help support families who cannot pay the full fee for services at Rosener

PROJECT
Continued from page 1
site.
I believe we did not properly notice this,
she said.
A summary of the agenda, posted on the
districts website, does not show a proposal to
build teacher housing to be discussed at the
meeting, but available supporting documents
detail a recommendation by Skelly to proceed
with the project.
The Daily Journal reported last week on
Skellys recommendation to the board, and
the district sent out a press release notifying
the public of the housing proposal.
Board President Marc Friedman took issue
with the claim that the public was not adequately informed of the intent to pursue housing at the Crestmoor campus.
This was really well publicized, he said.
To even point out that we were trying to slide
this in is disingenuous.
Ultimately, the board elected to table the
housing proposal, and bring it back for discussion at the next meeting Thursday, Oct. 8.
The board also approved a proposal to

STREET
Continued from page 1
will help the city determine whether
there will be enough people and enough
places that could be served by streetcars.
We have to make sure it is viable.
People wont be happy if the streetcars
are empty, Gee said Wednesday. You
cant guess at something like this. Its a
huge investment and a step-by-step
process.
Vice Mayor Rosanne Foust said streetcars are feasible for downtown, especial-

NOISE
Continued from page 1
The early morning and late-night
flights generate the most noise complaints, Slocum said.
In just a few years, the members-only
airline has increased its number of
flights from three to 30 a day, Slocum
said about Surf Air.
Slocum has listened to the complaints
for years but said now the county may
have a little more clout when it comes to
dealing with the Federal Aviation
Administration by forming the subcommittee.
The FAA governs the flight paths and
elevations planes must follow when
departing and flying into San Carlos.
Residents in the southern part of the
county, however, say those flight paths
are right over their homes and create lots

rebuild the district office at its current location


on the San Mateo High School campus, and
explore moving the headquarters of support
services such as the vehicle maintenance
department from the Crestmoor campus to a
more centrally located region of the district.
The high school district has agreed to lease
the Rollins Road property from the San Mateo
County Office of Education to house Design
Tech High School, or d.tech, for the next two
years.
Skelly has recommended eventually trying
to purchase the site, which would be vacated
once d.tech completes its proposed move onto
the campus of the Oracle Corporation in
Redwood Shores.

Rollins Road property


Acquiring the Rollins Road property is necessary to offer students at Peninsula a more
centrally located campus, rather than requiring them to take long bus rides to remote
regions of the district to Crestmoor, according
to Skelly.
Regardless of whether the proposed transition of district services and properties takes
place, the board approved ensuring the athletic fields on the Crestmoor campus remain
open to the San Bruno community, which has
been a repeated request of residents.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Lees Dwyer staunchly advocated for


Peninsula remaining at its current location in
San Bruno, and opposed the proposal to build
housing at the site.
Id rather see it open space if we cant put
something up there to benefit our students,
she said of the housing project proposal.
Those sentiments were not universally
shared.
Alan Sarver, a member of the Sequoia
Union High School District Board of
Trustees, lauded the effort of his counterparts
to build affordable housing for teachers, to
address the escalating cost of living along the
Peninsula.
There is clearly a major housing crisis in
the county, he said. All jurisdictions
throughout the area are concerned.
Skelly said the affordable housing portion
of the proposal was necessary for the district
to draw and retain the highest quality teaching
talent.
If we want to attract world-class teachers,
having housing is a game-changing advantage
for us, he said.
Dwyer though questioned the need for
housing, noting the competitive salary the district offers its teachers, and said she was
uncertain whether the demand existed among
the staff for workforce housing.

ly considering the electrification of


Caltrain and the added number of trips
and passengers the service will provide
once the project is completed by 2021.
Streetcars could also benefit the port
and Pacific Shores, she said.
In the General Plan, streetcars are
identified as being ideal for short trips
and would typically carry 50 passengers
along fixed tracks on public streets.
Streetcars could foster growth along
their routes and connect downtown with
offices outside the downtown core, highdensity residential areas and the site of a
proposed ferry terminal at Westpoint
Slough.
The request for proposals for the study

was released earlier this month and staff


expects a proposal will be in front of the
council for consideration later this year,
according to a staff report by Principal
Planner Diana ODell.
If the contract is approved, Fehr &
Peers will provide advisory services to
staff in the review and evaluation of consultant work regarding the Broadway
Streetcar Study, according to ODells
report.
Traffic congestion in Redwood City
is at an all-time high. I dont know
whether a streetcar is feasible but we
need to explore options to provide commuters with alternatives to driving,
Councilman Ian Bain wrote in an email.

of unwanted noise.
On Sept. 11, a letter from the Atherton
City Council to the City/County
Association of Governments of San
Mateo County blasted local officials for
not addressing the noise from Surf Air.
The town has ... petitioned, pleaded
and implored the Federal Aviation
Administration, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors, San Carlos
Airport Operations and aviation carriers
themselves (Surf Air) to address a devastating disconnect between the San
Carlos Airport Operations and the
health, safety and welfare of the impacted communities, the letter states.
C/CAG just released a draft Airport
Land Use Compatibility Plan for the airport for public comment. The plan may
impact the airports operations.
The letter continues: These pleas
have been largely ignored as the overflights by Surf Air have not only become
noisier but have increased in frequency.
By failing to address these growing con-

cerns the Airport Land Use Commission,


the county, San Carlos Airport
Operations and the FAA have been
derelict in their duty of protecting that
health, safety and welfare instead placing the expansion desires of commercial
aviation ahead of the protection of its
communities. This is unacceptable and
must be remedied.
And with Surf Airs growth, it is now
flying to more destinations in the state
and Las Vegas as its membership has
grown to at least 1,400. It also has a
waiting list of about 600. Members pay
$1,000 to sign up for the service and
$1,750 a month to fly as often as they
like.
Slocum said the first step the subcommittee will take is to meet with FAA officials to try and solve the noise problem.
The FAA has also expressed concerns
about the adverse effects to ground safety with the higher volume of flights,
according to a report by Horsley to the
Board of Supervisors.

Are we losing people every year because


of housing? I havent seen that, she said.
Skelly said he has talked with Ron Galatolo,
chancellor of the San Mateo County
Community College District, regarding the
college districts teacher housing project at
College of San Mateo and said it was a
tremendous asset for the district.

District as landlord
Trustee Peter Hanley said he was not sure
whether it was in the best interest of the district to begin serving as a landlord to its
employees.
Skelly though said he would be in favor of
hiring a management company to operate the
housing project, rather than charging existing
district staff with the task.
Im not anxious to get into the business of
housing, but I am anxious to have qualified
staff, he said.
The issue of developing staff housing will
return at the next board meeting, Thursday,
Oct. 8. The board is also set to discuss the proposal to install lights at district athletic fields
during the same meeting.
