San Mateo considers underground sewage tanks

Public concerned about parks, city strives to meet state mandates
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Striving to comply with state

orders to cease leaking sewage into
the Bay during storms, San Mateo
city officials are gathering input
on where to construct underground
storage tanks that could hold up to
5 million gallons of overflow until
it can be properly treated.
City staff will host a second

public forum Thursday, Aug. 25,
on the proposed storage facility
that has already garnered resident
concerns as two city parks in
the Bay Meadows and Fiesta
Gardens neighborhoods have
been proposed as possible
locales.
The tanks would be completely
underground, contain odor control
devices and only be used to temporarily store sewage overflow

during extreme storms before
being piped to the citys wastewater treatment plant, said Senior
Engineer Cathi Zammit, manager
of the Clean Water Program. After
construction, the surface of the
site would be restored whether

Chili Cook-Off ablaze in Central Park

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Get your taste buds ready, because this

weekend grubbing on chili and tasting some
homemade brewskies is supporting a good
cause.
The annual San Mateo Firefighters
Association Chili Cook-Off will enliven
Central Park as local first responders and
restaurants contend to win over the judges and
be crowned this years champs.
While a little competition is all in good
fun, the true purpose of the event is to benefit
the Muscular Dystrophy Association and send
dozens of children with these types of disease
to a weeklong summer camp.
Its all for a good cause and were proud of
our firefighters, said Mayor Joe Goethals,
who will help judge this years competition.
They put out the fires in our city and the chili
cook-off is their chance to set fire to your
taste buds.
The family-friendly event has evolved over
the years with 2015 including a classic car
show for the first time. This year, a new home
brew competition will have attendees taste
testing and voting on locally crafted beers,
said firefighter Gino Lavezzo.
Every year we try to add something different, just to change it up a little bit, but keep
the same premise. And at the end of the day,
we just want to raise money for MDA, have a
good time and get the community out,
Lavezzo said.
In this years firefighter category, competitors include teams from Menlo Park, Redwood
City, Foster City, San Mateo, Belmont and
Central County fire departments, as well as
paramedics from the countys response team.
In the restaurant division, local proprietors
Steelhead Brewery and Kingston Caf as well
as the Foster City Community Response
Team will be serving up their own chili
recipes, Lavezzo said.
Nearly 20 to 30 Bay Area home brewers will
also be seeking a title and offering tastes of
their locally-crafted beers. A classic car show
will again be incorporated into the cook-off
with San Mateos historic refurbished 1921
Seagrave Fire Engine making an appearance
as well. Two local bands will be jamming
along and former 49er Dennis Brown will

to sample and vote on the home brew competition.
Now in its eighth year, the firefighters and

Boring said, noting each child has a counselor assigned to them for the week, allowing
their families to take a break.

Two-alarm fire damages Foster City office complex

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Dean Seki, 66, of Redwood City, died Sunday afternoon,

Aug. 21, 2016, while abalone diving in Jenner.
Although the newspapers covered his
tragic diving accident on numerous media
sites, they failed to mention that he was
an expert diver and landscape designer
who had saved many lives from drowning, including other divers and that of his
brother, Hal Kataoka. His brother later
became a military vet who saved many
lives in the service.
Seki was a star cross country runner and
a graduate of San Carlos High School. He embodied the zeitgeist of the 60s. He loved the Rolling Stones, Steve
McQueen and Neil Young. He was a gentle soul who helped
numerous people that he met in his lifetime, including
returning Vietnam military vets to successfully readjust to
society.
He was honored by San Mateo Countys Fatherhood
Collaborative with their Fatherhood Advocacy Award in
2013 for being a community leader, a mentor and a humanitarian.
He is survived by his mother, wife, sister and brother,
three children, grandson and nieces and nephews.

California bill would
require securing guns in vehicles
SACRAMENTO The California Senate is approving
legislation that requires everyone, including law enforcement officers, to secure guns they leave in a vehicle.
The bill sent to Gov. Jerry Brown follows several highprofile thefts from the vehicles of law enforcement officers
in the San Francisco Bay Area.
SB869 by Democratic Sen. Jerry Hill of San Mateo was
approved in a 26-12 vote. It would require that handguns
left in unattended vehicles be locked in the trunk or in a
locked container out of view.
Violating the law would be an infraction punishable by a
fine of up to $1,000.
One person was injured and a dozen

fish rescued after a two-alarm structure
fire caused an estimated $300, 000
worth of damage at a commercial office
complex in Foster City Wednesday
afternoon.
Crews responded to a report of
smoke coming from the roof of 1169
Chess Drive around 2:11 p.m., according to Fire Chief John Healy.
Crews from Foster City and San
Mateo responded to the 14-unit singlestory office complex and located the
fire in the ceiling and rear warehouse
area of Unit H, near the center of the
row of businesses, according to Healy.
One person occupying the unit that
caught fire was reportedly injured and
transported to a hospital for treatment.
Approximately a dozen fresh water
fish were also rescued and are now
under the care of the Peninsula Humane
Society. The cause of the fire remains
under investigation, according to
Healy.
Smoke from the fire was visible from
State Route 92, resulting in some traffic delays. Foster City police responded to provide perimeter control at the
scene. A second alarm was triggered,
bringing crews from Belmont,
Redwood City, Central County and
County fire departments to assist,

according to Healy.
A total of eight engines, two ladder
trucks and an air support unit responded. The primary fire was extinguished
within 30 minutes but crews spent several hours putting out hot spots within
the structure, according to Healy.
The incident caused an estimated
$150, 000 worth of property damage
with the fire primarily affecting Unit
H, and two other units. Contents of

The entire 12-acre property known
as the Chess-Hatch office complex,
spans multiple buildings between
1155-1191 Chess Drive. The entire
complex was purchased for an estimated $120 million by Gilead Sciences in
late 2015. The property is slated for
redevelopment and has entitlements
for increased office space.

Clinton keeps stay-the-course

strategy on foundation, emails
By Ken Thomas
and Catherine Lucey
WASHINGTON
Hillary
Clinton is sidestepping new questions about nearly 15,000 recently
discovered emails or her familys
charitable foundation a staythe-course strategy sure to be tested
in the sprint to Election Day.
Clinton has no immediate plans
in an interview or a news conference to explain the FBIs discovery of another batch of emails
or personally clarify how her
administration would wall off the
organization founded by her husband, former President Bill
Clinton, if shes elected president.
Instead, her top campaign officials and allies are playing defense,
arguing that the foundation has
helped millions of people around
the globe while Trumps business
interests carry their own blind
spots.
Hillary Clinton doesnt have a
conflict of interest on charitable
work thats all it is, Clinton
campaign manager Robby Mook
said in an interview Wednesday
with MSNBCs Morning Joe.

We need to look a lot more closely at Donald Trump.
The Clinton campaign figures
her late-summer advantage gives
her few incentives to personally
push back against the email criticism or allegations of pay-forplay.
Trump, helped by a revamped
campaign team, has called for a
special prosecutor to investigate
the foundation and said it should be
shut down immediately. The
Republican nominee, who donated
to the Clinton Foundation, has
repeatedly charged that his opponent, while secretary of state, provided access to foundation contributors in exchange for donations to
the charity at the heart of Bill
Clintons post-presidential legacy.
Clinton leads Trump in national
and state polls, leaving many of
her aides and supporters to conclude that addressing the issue isnt
worth the risk to her electoral
standing. But the issue is one that
ties into voters larger questions
about her trustworthiness a
problem that will follow her into
the White House should she win.

that continued his recent effort to

The Republican presidential candidate also repeated his promise to
build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican
border to keep out immigrants,
underscoring the tricky balancing
act he faces in retaining backing
from conservatives while beckoning to moderates for their votes.
I am going to fight to give every Hispanic

citizen a much better future, a much better life.
Donald Trump
I am going to fight to give

every Hispanic citizen a much better future, a much better life,
Trump told a rally in Tampa as
polls show him trailing in the
critical state. You have the right
to walk outside without being
shot. You have a right to a good
education for your child. You have
the right to own your home. You
have the right to have a good
job.
Trump dominated presidential
campaign coverage for the day as

Clinton, was fundraising in

Her drive for the White House
got a rhetorical boost when her

Scores sagging for high school

grads taking ACT college test
By Jennifer C. Kerr
Smoke rises from the Syrian border town of Jarablus.
WASHINGTON Nearly two-thirds of

this years high school graduates took the
ACT college entrance exam, and their scores
suggest that many remain unprepared for the
rigors of college-level coursework.
The testing company said Wednesday that
only 38 percent of graduating seniors who
took the exam hit the college-prepared
benchmark in at least three of the four core
subjects tested reading, English, math
and science down from 40 percent last
year. The benchmark is designed to measure
a strong readiness for college.
The average composite score also declined
a
bit,
down from 21 to 20.8 this year. The
REUTERS
four tests are scored on a scale of 1 to 36. The
composite is the average of the four scores.
The vast majority of colleges use the composite in admissions.
ACTs Paul Weeks says a decline in scores
was expected, given the changing demographic of the testing population.
Volatile mix in Syria war puts

new strain on U.S. strategy
By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON The U.S. military picture in Syria is getting more chaotic and
complicated by the day, putting new strains
on the Obama administrations strategy of
partnering with a hodgepodge of local
fighters against the Islamic State group
without getting pulled deeper into Syrias
civil war or rupturing relations with Turkey.
Developments in recent weeks illustrate
the fine balance the U.S. is trying to strike.
For example, the Pentagon may get drawn
into cooperating with Russian forces in
Syria even though it believes Moscows
military intervention has only undermined
the U.S. goal of defeating IS. And just last
week the U.S. was compelled to respond
when Syrian warplanes struck in an area not
far from where U.S. troops were operating
on the ground.
Adding to the volatile mix Tuesday,
Turkish forces allied with Syrian Arab rebels
and backed by U.S. air power pushed into
Syria to retake Jarablus, a border town held
by the Islamic State. In addition to helping
with intelligence and aerial surveillance,
the U.S. conducted airstrikes with A-10 and
F-16 planes.
This is significant on several levels.
First, it marks Turkeys most overt incursion into Syria. It also put Turkey on a path
toward potential confrontation with Kurdish
fighters in Syria who the United States is
supporting in their fight against Islamic
Almost 2 out 3 students are taking the

ACT and whats happened is the testing
cohort has become increasingly representative of students at large, said Weeks, senior
vice president for client relations, in an
interview.
A number of additional states also are giving the ACT to all of their 11th-grade students. That group of new states showed up
in this years grad class report so we would
have expected it to have an impact on
scores, Weeks said.
Nearly 2.1 million graduating seniors
took the ACT, up from 1.9 million in the last
school year.
By comparison, 1.7 million graduating
seniors in 2015 took the SAT, the other
major college entrance exam. The College
Board expects to release updated 2016 numbers for the SAT later this fall.
Of the ACT-tested high school graduates
this year, 61 percent met the English benchmark of 18 points, which indicates a student
is likely ready for a college composition
course and would earn a C or better grade.
State militants and have been the most

effective force battling IS in northern Syria.
U.S. officials were aware of a Turkish fear
that a group of those U.S.-backed Kurdish
forces, fighting as members of the Syrian
Democratic Forces, might be preparing for a
jail break from their American advisers to
the Turkish border, according to a senior
administration official traveling with Vice
President Joe Biden, who was visiting
Ankara on Tuesday.
A few days ago the Turks fired artillery
across the border as warnings to the Kurdish
fighters. Thats a big problem because the
U.S. does not want a direct clash between
the Turks and the Kurds, the U.S. official
said, speaking on condition of anonymity
because the official wasnt authorized to
describe U.S. military and diplomatic strategy.
Biden told reporters that the U.S. backed
Turkeys demand for limits on Kurdish
expansion. He said Kurdish forces must
move back. They cannot, will not, under
any circumstance get American support if
they do not keep that commitment.
Turkey is particularly sensitive to Kurdish
advances in northern Syria because the
Turks have a long-running fight against
Kurdish insurgents on their side of the border. That is why Turkey has been upset with
U.S. empowerment of a Kurdish militia
known as the YPG, whom the Turks consider to be terrorists. They are the predominant
element in the umbrella group the U.S. has
created and called the Syrian Democratic
Forces.

Italy quake kills at least 159, reduces towns to rubble

By Paolo Santalucia, Frances
dEmilo and Nicole Winfield
AMATRICE, Italy Rescue

crews using bulldozers and their
bare hands raced to dig out survivors from a strong earthquake
that reduced three central Italian
towns to rubble Wednesday. The
death toll stood at 159, but the
number of dead and missing was
uncertain given the thousands of
vacationers in the area for summers final days.
Residents wakened before dawn
by the temblor emerged from their
crumbled homes to find what they
described as apocalyptic scenes
like Dantes Inferno, with entire
blocks of buildings turned into
piles of sand and rock, thick dust
choking the air and a putrid smell
of gas.
The town isnt here anymore,
said Sergio Pirozzi, the mayor of
the hardest-hit town, Amatrice. I
believe the toll will rise.
The magnitude 6.2 quake struck
at 3:36 a.m. and was felt across a
broad swath of central Italy,
including Rome, where residents
woke to a long swaying followed
by aftershocks. The temblor
shook the Lazio region and
Umbria and Le Marche on the
Adriatic coast, a highly seismic
area that has witnessed major
quakes in the past.
Dozens of people were pulled
out alive by rescue teams and volunteers that poured in from around
Italy.
In the evening, about 17 hours
after the quake struck, firefighters
pulled a 10-year-old girl alive
from the rubble in Pescara del
Tronto.
You can hear something under
here. Quiet, quiet, one rescue
worker said, before soon urging
her on: Come on, Giulia, come
on, Giulia. ... Watch your head.
Cheers broke out when she was
pulled out.

Destroyed town in quake was preparing food festival

By Frances dEmilio
AMATRICE, Italy In three
days, the rugged residents of the
medieval Italian hill town of
Amatrice had planned to hold one
of their most joyful events of the
year: the 50th edition of a food
festival celebrating their beloved
Amatriciana pasta dish, which is
made from local ingredients.
Instead, they will now be
mourning the dozens dead from a
strong earthquake that trapped
residents in their homes as they

slept.
Due to the upcoming food festival, known as a sagra, there was
an influx of visitors to the town,
so it was very hard to know how
many people were sleeping
Wednesday morning in Amatrice
when the quake struck at 3:36
a.m.
The mayor said about 70 people had been staying in the Hotel
Roma, a town landmark that has a
restaurant which serves the
famous pasta dish. Rescue work-
ers pulled five bodies from the

rubble of the hotel but had to halt
rescue operations late Wednesday
night because it was too dangerous working in the dark.
Roberto Renzi said he was
sleeping soundly and most tranquilly when he was jostled
awake by the 6. 2-magnitude
tremor. He said he instantly knew
this quake was far, far worse than
the little movements locals are
used to in this quake-prone belt
straddling
Italys
rocky
Apennines mountains.
And there were wails when bodies emerged.

Unfortunately, 90 percent we
pull out are dead, but some make
it, thats why we are here, said
Christian Bianchetti, a volunteer
from Rieti who was working in

devastated Amatrice where flood
lights were set up so the rescue
could continue through the night.
Premier Matteo Renzi visited
the zone Wednesday, greeted res-
cue teams and survivors, and

pledged that No family, no city,
no hamlet will be left behind.
Italys civil protection agency
reported the death toll had risen to
159 by late Wednesday; at least
368 others were injured.

Worst affected were the tiny
towns of Amatrice and Accumoli
near Rieti, some 100 kilometers
(60 miles) northeast of Rome, and
Pescara del Tronto, some 25 kilometers further east. Italys civil
protection agency set up tent
cities around each hamlet to
accommodate the thousands of
homeless.
Italys health minister, Beatrice
Lorenzin, visiting the devastated
area, said many of the victims
were children: The quake zone is a
popular spot for Romans with second homes, and the population
swells in August when most
Italians take their summer holiday
before school resumes.
The medieval center of Amatrice
was devastated, with the hardesthit half of the city cut off by rescue
crews digging by hand to get to
trapped residents.
The birthplace of the famed
spaghetti allamatriciana bacon
and tomato sauce, the city was full
for this weekends planned festival honoring its native dish.
Some 70 guests filled its top Hotel
Roma, famed for its amatriciana,
where five bodies were pulled from
the rubble before the operation
was suspended when conditions
became too dangerous late
Wednesday. Among those killed
was an 11-year-old boy who had
initially shown signs of life. The
fate of the dozens of other guests
wasnt immediately known.
Amatrice is made up of 69 hamlets that teams from around Italy
were working to reach with sniffer
dogs, earth movers and other
heavy equipment. In the city center, rocks and metal tumbled onto
the streets and dazed residents huddled in piazzas as more than 200
aftershocks jolted the region
throughout the day, some as
strong as magnitude 5.1.
The whole ceiling fell but did
not hit me, marveled resident

Powerful earthquake shakes central Myanmar

By Esther Htusan
and Min Kyi Thein
YANGON, Myanmar A powerful

earthquake shook Myanmar on
Wednesday, killing at least four people and damaging nearly a hundred
ancient Buddhist pagodas in the former capital of Bagan, a major tourist
site, officials said.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the
magnitude 6. 8 quake was centered
about 25 kilometers (15 miles) west
of Chauk, a town south of Bagan. It
was located fairly far below the
Earths surface at a depth of about 84
kilometers (52 miles), it said. Deep
earthquakes generally cause less surface damage.
At least 185 brick pagodas in
Bagan were damaged, the state newspaper reported. Bagan, also known
as Pagan, has more than 2, 200 structures including pagodas and temples
constructed from the 10th to the 14th
centuries. Many are in disrepair
while others have been restored in
recent years, aided by the U. N. cul-
tural agency UNESCO.

The vast site is the countrys premier attraction for tourists, who can
view a panorama of temples stretching to the horizon flanked by the
mighty Irrawaddy River, an especially
impressive experience at sunset.
Dr. Myo Thant, general secretary of
the Myanmar Earthquake Committee,
said other areas apparently were not
badly affected.
Police officer Htay Win in Pakokku,
about 70 kilometers (45 miles) from
the epicenter, said one person there
had been killed and one injured. The
person was killed by falling bricks
from a building, he said.
The Ministry of Social Welfare,
Relief and Resettlement reported two
other deaths in nearby Thitapwe village.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
was saddened by the loss of life and
damage from the earthquake and
expressed his condolences to the
people and government of
Myanmar.
He said the U. N. Office for the
ACUPUNCTURE
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

was in contact with authorities in
Myanmar and along with its partners
stands ready to support the government and local organizations should
any humanitarian support be needed.
Vincent Panzani, a staff member in
Pakokku for the aid agency Save the
Children, said several of his colleagues from the area described the
earthquake as the strongest they have
experienced.
We felt quite heavy shaking for
about 10 seconds and started to evacuate the building when there was
another strong tremor, he said in
comments sent by email. Most of
the reports of damage have been to
the pagodas in the area with dozens
impacted. There have also been
reports of damage to smaller, more
basic buildings including a collapsed
wall and a destroyed roof.
Worried residents of Yangon, the
countrys main city, rushed out of tall
buildings, and objects toppled from
tables and from Buddhist shrines in
homes. However, there were no
reports of serious damage in the city.
KABUL, Afghanistan Militants attacked the American

University of Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least
one person and wounding another 18, officials said.
AP photographer Massoud Hossaini was in a classroom
with 15 students when he heard an explosion on the southern flank of the campus.
I went to the window to see what was going on, and I saw
a person in normal clothes outside. He shot at me and shattered the glass, Hossaini said, adding that he fell on the
glass and cut his hands.
The students then barricaded themselves inside the classroom, pushing chairs and desks against the door, and staying on the floor. Hossaini said at least two grenades were
thrown into the classroom, wounding several of his classmates.
Hossaini and about nine students later managed to escape
from the campus through an emergency gate.
As we were running I saw someone lying on the ground
face down, they looked like they had been shot in the
back, he said.
North Korean submarine

missile launch shows improved ability
SEOUL, South Korea A ballistic missile fired from a
North Korean submarine on Wednesday flew about 500 kilometers (310 miles), the longest distance achieved by the
North for such a weapon, Seoul officials said, putting all of
South Korea, and possibly parts of Japan, within its striking distance.
North Korea already has a variety of land-based missiles
that can hit South Korea and Japan, including U.S. military
bases in those countries. But its development of reliable
submarine-launched missiles would add weapons that are
harder to detect before liftoff.
South Koreas military condemned the launch as an
armed protest by North Korea against the start of annual
South Korean-U.S. military drills, but acknowledged it was
an improvement over previous tests of similar missiles.
Colombia, FARC rebels

reach deal to end half-century war
HAVANA Colombias government and the countrys
biggest rebel group reached a deal Wednesday evening for
ending a half-century of hostilities in what has been one of
the worlds longest-running armed conflicts.
The governments accord with the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia must still be ratified by voters in a
plebiscite in order to take effect.
But the announcement in Havana of a deal after four years
of talks opens the possibility for Colombians to put
behind them political bloodshed that has claimed more than
220,000 lives and driven more than 5 million people from
their homes.

Stocks end lower as health care companies decline

By Ken Sweet
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK Stocks closed

lower on Wednesday, led by sharp
declines in health care companies
as outrage over the steep price
hikes for Mylans EpiPens escalates.
Trading remains quiet overall
with many investors still on vacation. It was another below-average
day of trading volume on the New
York Stock Exchange.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 65.82 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 18,481.48. The Standard &
Poors 500 index lost 11.46
points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,175.44
and the Nasdaq composite lost
42.38 points, or 0.8 percent, to
5,217.69.
Major indexes were down slightly for most of the day, and the losses deepened as a late-day sell-off in
drugmakers dragged the broader
market lower. Mylan dropped
$2.47, or 5.5 percent, to $43.15

Cal coach, QB share bond of being coaches sons

By Josh Dubow
BERKELEY Starting from about the

age of 6 as a kid growing up in Texas,
California quarterback Davis Webb would
sit in front of his television on college
football Saturdays with a stack of index
cards to draw out plays that caught his eye.
Webb then would deliver those cards to
his father, Matt, a high school coach in
hopes they would be used in games the fol-
lowing week.
That might not be typical childhood behavior
but it sure resonates with
Webbs college coach
Sonny Dykes and coordinator Jake Spavital.
Like Webb, those two
are also sons of coaches
Davis Webb whose lives have been
focused on football
since the time they first picked up a ball.
Those shared experiences have helped Cals

first-year quarterback and
coordinator build up a
relationship with Dykes
that the Golden Bears
hope will pay dividends
on the field.
Theres a love and
respect for the game that
Sonny Dykes
occurs when you grow up
around it, said Dykes, the son of longtime
Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes. We all

share a passion for the game, a respect for
the game. It makes us happy to be around
football. Thats when were all at our happiest.
Thats where the three have spent so much
of their time for as long as they can remember. For Webb, it started when he was drawing up those plays he hoped his dad would
use.
He was probably too young to even be

The all-or-nothing novelty of pushing for

the postseason in the Peninsula Athletic
League Lake Division is not lost on the C
leagues most competitive teams.
Whereas the Bay and Ocean divisions
combined for nine Central Coast Section
playoff berths in 2015 ve from the Bay
and four from the Ocean only the one
winner of the Lake Division, Capuchino,
saw the postseason.
The Lake is harder in some ways because
you have to win every game, San Mateo
head coach Jeff Scheller said. You cant
make the playoffs in second place.
As the 2015 season wound down,
Schellers Bearcats were on the outside
looking in at the Lake Division race. San
Mateo nished in third place with losses to
second-place Jefferson and rst-place
Capuchino.
Cap rushed to the division title with a
dominant performance by Lake Division
Offensive Back of the Year Damien Jacobs.
Jefferson, meanwhile, rode a dominant season by quarterback Damari Cual-Davis who
passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for
over 1,000.
With both Jacobs and Cual-Davis graduating Jacobs is a grayshirt freshman at
University of Montana; Cual-Davis is looking to roster at the Division III program of
Pacic University in Oregon San Mateo
and its wealth of returning players is looking to leapfrog last years top dogs.
While the Bearcats bank on the returning
talents of quarterback Austin Salvail (1,065
passing yards as a junior in 2015), running
back Anderson Perdomo (team-best 103
yards-per-game average) and linebacker
George Qobti (team-best six tackles per
game), both Capuchino and Jefferson are
relying on steady and consistent systems of
developing talent to replicate the results of
2015.
Interestingly, Cap and Jeff may be amidst
a Freaky Friday scenario. This year, it is
Cap that looks to be producing the dualthreat quarterback in senior helmsman
Teisina Fita, while Jeff is stocking up on
backeld depth with a trio of promising

Capuchino, top right, may be the defending Lake Division champ, and Jefferson, top left,
finished second. But it may be San Mateo, above, that claims the division crown in 2016.
hen I first started covering

Peninsula Athletic League
football way back in 2001, I
thought it was quaint that a lot of teams
played games Friday afternoon. My high
school experience was football games on
Friday nights and
when I got into the
industry working in
the East Bay, Friday
afternoon games
were few and far
between.
Saturdays remain
exclusively for afternoon games, but
only a handful of
games are played on
the weekend.
A look at this
years PAL schedules show that, other
than Menlo School, which has four
Friday afternoon games, most teams will
play nearly their entire schedule at night.
It makes sense for most schools in the
PAL, as all but five teams have lighted
fields. In addition to Menlo, only
Aragon, Capuchino, Mills and San Mateo
are without lights and in the case of the
San Mateo Union High School District
schools, that should be remedied by the
end of the school year.
In the meantime, those four San Mateo
district schools will continue to share a
contingent of portable lights bought by
the district.
So why the drive to add the Peninsula
to the Friday Night Lights story line
that permeates most high school football
around the country? Its simple, really:
school, money and convenience.
Weve just moved toward [all night
games], said Terry Stogner, PAL commissioner. The general philosophy is to
keep athletic contests as far away from
classes as possible.

Kaepernick playing catch-up in 49ers QB race

By Josh Dubow
SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick is on

track to make his first appearance of the
preseason for San Francisco on Friday
night against the Green Bay Packers after
his tired shoulder made it through a full
week of practice without any limitations.
Everything has been going great,
Kaepernick said Wednesday. Everything
has been going as planned. Im excited to
get back out there Friday.
Coach Chip Kelly said

Kaepernick looked good
in practice this week and
is expected to play barring any setbacks before
the game. Kelly said no
decision has been made
on whether Kaepernick
or Blaine Gabbert will
start against Green Bay
Colin
but Kelly said earlier this
Kaepernick
month that he planned to
give both quarterbacks competing for the
starting job a chance to

play with the first-team
offense in the preseason.
Kelly said the final
decision on who will
start and who will play
wont be made until after
consulting with the
teams head of sports
medicine Jeff Ferguson
Chip Kelly
on Friday.
Kaepernick, who lost his starting job to
Gabbert last season, has had limited prac-
tice time. He missed the offseason program

after undergoing surgery during the offseason on his non-throwing shoulder, right
thumb and left knee. He resumed practice at
the start of training camp but was not able
to throw in practice from Aug. 11 to Aug. 22
because of a tired right shoulder.
But Kaepernick believes he still has a
legitimate shot to win back his starting
job.
Im going to go out and show everything

Lomio Faasisila (sr., C/DT); Moses Olive (jr.,
C/DL); Reyes Dianos-Marquez (jr., OT/DT);Teisina Fifita (sr., QB);

Key newcomers: Key newcomers: Isaiah Arcilla (jr., RB/LB);
Brandon Malongi (so., RB); Trey Zahursky (jr., WR/SS).
2016 opener: Fri. vs. Woodside, 3:15 p.m.
Outlook: Street football 101 in many ways that is what Capuchino head coach Ben White preaches.
In this third year at Cap,White is not stranger to the Peninsula
Athletic League. He has had previous success at South City
and Carlmont. Then last year he put the Mustangs back on
top with the programs first Lake Division title since 2012.
Last year's success was spurred mainly by the rushing exploits
of Damien Jacobs, who regularly ran up gaudy statistics en
route to earning the Lake Offensive Back of the Year award
and being named as one of Caps nine first-team all-leaguers.
Caps turnover is the reason White opted not to move up to
the Ocean Division.The Mustangs did that in 2013 and posted
a 1-9 overall record.
We were only 6-4 (in 2015), White said.We lost five games.
We lost all our main players, we lost nine all-league guys we
lost everybody. If we were to move up we would get killed.
The Mustangs were 1-4 in non-league play in 2015, but went
5-0 in Lake play, outscoring teams 219-57. Only second-place
Jefferson gave Cap a run for its money in the Mustangs dramatic 49-44 victory that ultimately decided the title.
While Jefferson installed a dynamic spread offense last year,
White led Cap to the title with the straight-ahead, pro-set,
smash-mouth approach. And this year will be more of the
same street football 101.
Pretty much the same thing we saw last year, White said.
Running the ball and when they bring everybody up well
throw bombs. Nothing has really changed.
The new cast of running backs is Adnan Grajeda, Isaiah Arcilla, Brandon Malongi and Keith Thomas. The depth was a
staple of last years team too, which saw an array of ball carriers to balance out Jacobs.
Senior quarterback Teisina Fifita may be the most dangerous
rushing weapon of all.While the cornerback convert can throw,
he brings rugby experience and dynamic legs to the position.

By having late afternoon junior varsity
and night varsity games, coaches, parents,
students and teachers dont have to worry
about players leaving class early. In addition, later starts allow parents time to get

Its so much more fun for the kids and

Head coach: Jake Messina, 1st year

Key returners: Timmy Palthe (jr., QB);
Jason Lloyd (jr., TE/OLB); Henry Reich (jr.,
QB/TE); Charlie Haake (sr., SLOT).
Key newcomers: Demari Blanks (jr., RB/FS); Devon Sagon (jr.,
RB/DB); Jayden Kuhn (so.,WR/OLB); Brennan Lasala (sr., FB/ILB).
2016 opener: Fri. at Aragon, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Along with a new head coach came somewhat of
an overhaul for the Carlmont Scots.
When new coach Jake Messina arrived, he quickly lost many of
the incoming seniors that were looking to carry over from the
previous administration. The benefit,
however, is several seniors who didnt play
football last year returned to the fold,
maintaining Carlmonts roster at
approximately 34 players.
One of the few returning players and
one of the Scots top linemen of a year ago
senior Ari Farantos was lost to an ankle
Jake Messina fracture, which he suffered last week in
practice. So, more and more, Messina is
forced to rely on the new school, first-year additions to carry the
team.
Were incredibly young, which is awesome if we can do some
of the things I think we can do, it will bode well for the long
term, Messina said.
Messina will shake up the offense by installing the Delaware
Wing-T, using a rotation of junior quarterbacks Timmy Palthe
and Henry Reich, who are slated to split time equally.
It doesnt give the defense a lot of time to see the formation
and the you hope to get a good jump,Messina said.I think its
going to be a good fit for a long time.
Messina is new to the area but has a lengthy football resume,
serving as an assistant at Menlo-Atherton and Merced, and six
years at Palo Alto under head coach Earl Hanson. He has also
served as head coach at Golden Valley-Santa Clarita and at
Fremont.
ment, Stogner said.

Stogner also said game officials benefit
because its easier to staff a doubleheader
instead of having them drive across town
during rush hour to ref another game
at night.
Finally, there is the money aspect of
night games.
Financially, its a windfall, Stogner
said.
Steve Sell, Aragon football coach and
athletic director, concurs with Stogners
financial assessment of the night games.
Its so worth it, money-wise, to have a

Key newcomers: Jimmy Baskshi (jr., QB); Emilio Urrutia (jr.,
RB/DB); Nathan Nacion (jr., RB/DB)
2016 opener: @ Gunn-SF, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Coach Jake has got a pancake-house team on his
hands.
When El Camino head coach Eric Jacobson made the decision
to move from the sidelines up to the press box last season
a maneuver necessitated after his difficulty standing on his
prosthetic right leg after a 2010 amputation due to complications from Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease he quickly felt he
lost his attachment to his beloved Colts team.
I didnt like that,Jacobson said.I just felt I was too far away from
the team.There was no attachment there.
So, when Jacobson walked into a local pancake house earlier
this year, the downhome El Camino alumnus, who sports a
cowboy hat on game days like its school uniform and can readily quote Johnny Cash lyrics to suit any occasion, was pleased
to see upwards of a dozen of his players bonding over a team
breakfast.
The Colts will rely on that heart in attempting to rebound from
a one-win season.And Jacobson is shaking things up tactically,
scrubbing the longtime pro-set offense El Camino has run since
before he was a player there in the 1980s to install a modern
spread offense.
Were into the 21st century, Jacobson said.
First-year quarterback Jimmy Baskshi will work explicitly out
of the shotgun, protected by returning All-Lake Division twoway lineman Nathan Julian.
I just want to win and make me team better, Julian said,be
a good captain and lead my team forward.
On defense, 6-4, 290-pound defensive tackle Sam Langi may
allow the 4-3 constant to transition to a 3-4 with Langi at nose
tackle.
er school, the school will rent its own

lights for the game and pay for it with the
money received at the gate.
The gate receipts are astronomical. You
get far more money (at night games), Sell
said.
Sell said another factor driving increased
attendance is the fact that many PAL teams
schedule as many local opponents as possible. Aragon, for example, has non-league
games against Carlmont, San Mateo, South
City and Jefferson.
OK, not exactly a murderers row of
Central Coast Section powers, but games
that draw a lot of fans to the game.

2016 opener: Fri. @ Mission-SF, 7 p.m.
Outlook: The Jefferson Grizzlies graduated as high a caliber
quarterback the Lake Division is ever going to see in Damari
Cual-Davis.
With this comes obligatory terms like the post-Cual-Davis era.
But second-year head coach Will Maddox isnt backing down
from his mission to see his Grizzlies advance through the Peninsula Athletic League ranks with the ultimate goal of someday
reaching and winning the Bay Division.
Remaining from last years second-place Lake run is the spread
offense that saw the dual-threat Jefferson quarterback helm
towards a 37.1 points-per-game average.With untested junior
quarterback Aaron Cruz being promoted from the junior-varsity team, Maddox is looking to the depth of his backfield to
help supplant Cual-Davis 3,238 total yards (2,067 passing and
1,168 rushing).
Were probably going to run the ball a little but more this year,
Maddox said. Were still going to pass the ball, but with the
three running backs and a quarterback that can run the ball,
were going to run the ball more this year.
Cual-Davis wasnt a one-man rushing show last year. Graduated senior David Benjamin ranked a close second on the team
with 1,162 ground yards. Now, his younger brother Daniel Benjamin headlines a three-headed monster four-headed if
Cruz gets into the mix.
Senior center Ako Tamasese is the secret weapon that should
facilitate the new personnels smooth transition.The 5-11, 310pound captain of the o-line is one of the more advanced
linemen throughout the PAL, according to Maddox.
At a high school line, I dont know how many teams do protection audibles at the line, but we do that,Maddox said.And
hes in charge of calling them out.
On defense, the Grizzliesstrength resides up front as well. Senior linebacker Luti Lagoo is a returning all-league middle who
led the team in tackles last year. But Maddox said look out for
defensive ends senior James Sanders and junior Ulyses Ramon.
Honestly, I think were going to have the best defensive ends
in the league, Maddox said.

2016 opener: Fri. vs. San Jose, 7 p.m.
Outlook: In his first post as a high school head coach, Mills
new honcho Mike Dozier is looking to jumpstart a team that
went winless in league play last season.
With a new starting quarterback commanding the huddle in
junior Antonio Valencia,the Vikings will be employing the tripleoption offense, looking to utilize the power running game to
open up occasional passing looks for the strong but untested
arm of their first-year QB.
I think it suits our athletes the best,Dozier said.We dont have
a strong passing game but if we can create a little bit of deception, I think we can keep guys off balance.
The four-headed monster out of the backfield features seniors
Sione Langi, Saumane Stanley and David Tongilava, and junior
Andrew Killigrew. Mills will be facing an uphill battle in Fridays
opener against San Jose a team that drilling the Vikings 5414 on opening day last season with right tackle Isi Mapa on
the shelf with an ankle injury, though Dozier expects the senior to return for Week 2.
What Mills will feature up front on Friday is captained by 6-foot,
195-pound Chris Jack who garnered cautious raves from Dozier
for his tenacity in playing through the whistle. Doziers caution
is due to Jacks insistence on sometimes playing a little too fiery
after plays end, though the work in progress is showing promising potential.
Jack also middles the linebacker corps in revamped 3-5-3 defense. In the Lake Division where teams rely predominantly on
power running, Dozier who will serve as Millsdefensive coordinator plans to meet the ground game head on with a
swift and physical defense that can cover ground.
They get to do a lot of running and a lot of hunting,Dozier said.
It kind of fits the personality we have as people.
Dozier brings plenty of experience, having worked as an assistant at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Riordan and Capuchino.He also
served as the Cap girlsbasketball head coach for the past four
seasons.
San Mateo
Bearcats
Head coach: Jeff Scheller, 11th year
Key returners: Austin Salvail (sr., QB); Anderson Perdomo (sr., RB/MLB); George
Qobti (sr., C/MLB); Boris Mazin (sr., RB/DB); Joe Baker (sr.,WR/DB);
Ben Tian (sr., G/LB); Alberto Hernandez (sr., C/NT); Ivan Garza
(sr., G/DT); Tristan Helin (sr., G/DT); Luis Magaa (sr., TE/DE).
Key newcomers: Galo Reyes (jr., WR/SS); Ariel Blemur (jr.,
RB/DT); Marcos Fonseca (sr., FB/DE); Kevin Grant (jr.,WR/CB/K);
Jake Jeffries (jr., WR/SS).
2016 opener: Fri. vs. South City, 7 p.m.
Outlook: The San Mateo Bearcats may be returning more key
players than the rest of the Lake Division combined.
The offense is where the Bearcats will benefit the most. Led by
quarterback Austin Salvail, San Mateo gained 3,464 total yards
last year.This years returning skill players accounted for 2,471
of those yards, including 1,065 by air from Salvail.
But the defense has plenty of proven experience as well. One
of last years top tacklers, first-team All-PAL Lake Division linebacker George Qobti also the teams center returns to
right the ship of a defensive unit that gave up 94 combined
points against the divisions top two teams, Capuchino and Jefferson.
Hes stronger than ever,San Mateo head coach Scheller said.
Hes probably bench-pressing the most on the team and squat
wise hes up there. Just being a two-way starter, hes got to stay
healthy.
The structure of the Lake Division is an all-or-nothing deal.The
division champ earns an automatic playoff berth but it would
take a minor miracle to ever produce a wild card berth from the
C-league.
With Capuchino and Jefferson graduating a vast majority of
skill players though, San Mateo is in a good position to make
a run at its first division championship since taking the Ocean
Division crown in 2009.
Senior running back Anderson Perdomo is another key facet
returning to the offense. Rushing for 927 yards last season, the
5-7, 250-pounder would have had a shot at eclipsing 1,000
yards but missed a game in Week 7 due to injury.
With Perdomo and senior halfback Boris Mazin providing a
pro-style two back attack, the Bearcats will still use the spread
to show off a promising quartet of receivers fronted by senior
Joe Baker.

Former Oakland hurler Hill blanks Giants in L.A.

By Jill Painter Lopez
LOS ANGELES Rich Hill pitched six

dominant innings in his first start with Los
Angeles and Justin Turner hit his 24th homer,
lifting the Dodgers over the Giants 1-0
Wednesday night.
Los Angeles has a three-game lead over the
Giants atop the NL West.
Turner homered in the fourth for the first hit
against starter Johnny Cueto. Turner has 20
homers since June 10.
Hill (1-0) was on the disabled list with a
blister on his left middle finger when the
Dodgers acquired him from the Oakland
Athletics on Aug. 1 along with outfielder Josh
Reddick. He allowed five hits and struck out
three while throwing 81 pitches.
Cueto (14-4) allowed a run and four hits over
six innings, and San Francisco has lost eight
of 10.

rushers in senior John Torno, junior Angelo
Velez and junior Daniel Benjamin.
Fita was a varsity player as a sophomore
but played mostly running back and slot
receiver while serving as backup quarterback
to then senior starter Joe Gutierrez. He did take
approximately 15 snaps from center on the
year. He also played cornerback.
Cap head coach Ben White identied Fita
as a possible quarterback t when he was a
freshman junior-varsity player. His leadership
skills were what caught Whites attention, but
the zip on his throws didnt hurt. What stands
to set Fita apart is his mobility though, a
skill he honed growing up a rugby player and
having played with the Pen Green Beavers
since his freshman year of high school.
It keeps me well conditioned, Fita said
Dodgers 1, Giants 0
Kenley Jansen got his
37th save to complete the
six-hitter. He reached 604
career strikeouts, tying
Jim Brewer for most career
strikeouts as a reliever in
franchise history.
Rich Hill
Cueto had two wins in
three previous starts
against the Dodgers this season. Hes still
looking for his second win in the second half
of the season.
With runners on the corners and two outs in
the eighth, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
made a visit to the mound to talk with reliever
Joe Blanton. He left Blanton in the game, and
then Brandon Crawford flied out to the warning track in right to end the inning. Roberts
threw his arms up in celebration.
The 31-year-old Turner had 31 career home
of the rugby pitch. It keeps me on me on my
feet and it keeps me loving contact.
The senior approaches quarterback with a
rugby edge. He played the position as a sophomore at the junior-varsity level, balancing
his passing and running game to lead the
Mustangs junior squad to an 8-2 record. Given
a preference though, Fita prefers the ground
attack.
To be honest, I like running the ball,
Fita said. But if it comes down to me throwing the ball, I have no problem with that.
Jefferson too is breaking in a new quarterback in Aaron Cruz, who served as a backup to
Cual-Davis last season but totaled just two
snaps from center all year. On both plays he
handed the ball to the backeld.
A 5-8 junior, Cruz doesnt have prototypical
quarterback height but won the job outright
over another junior competing for the rststring role, Aaron Mejia. Both could see time
this year as both bring rollout wheels and can
provide a breakaway threat. What sets Cruz
apart though is his ability to throw.

MLB brief
Pujols hits No. 584 to pass
Big Mac on all-time home run list
Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling (3-4,

4.04 ERA) had his only appearance against
the Giants come in his MLB debut earlier
this season, a game in which he threw 7 1/3
hitless innings before being removed after
100 pitches.
Matt Moore (7-10, 4.18) is looking for
his first win with San Francisco since coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug.
1. He is 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts
for his new club.
TORONTO Albert Pujols moved into

sole possession of 10th place on baseballs all-time list by hitting his 584th
home run and the Angels
snapped an 11-game
road losing streak by
beating the Blue Jays 82 Wednesday night.
Pujols finished 4 for 4
with three RBIs. After he
and Mike Trout hit backto-back homers in the
Albert Pujols first, Pujols hit a sacrifice
fly in the second, singled
in the fourth and sixth innings, then capped
his night with an RBI double in the eighth.
For Pujols, the homer broke a tie with
Mark McGwire on the all-time list. Pujols
is two home runs shy of tying Frank
Robinson for ninth place.
Were very condent in

[Cruz], Jefferson head
coach Will Maddox said.
Hes very similar to
[Cual-Davis] in that hes
very athletic. He doesnt
have quite the arm as
[Cual-Davis] but I think as
far as accuracy, hes right
there with him.
Aaron Cruz
Cruzs air attack is a
work in progress, but its one Jeff has two
years to see the right-hander develop into a
quarterback that can take Jeff to where it
wants to be.
I plan on throwing the ball actually because
me and [Maddox] are working on me throwing
the ball better, getting my reads, Cruz said.
Where Jefferson wants to be competing is
in the upper divisions of the PAL. While
defending Lake champion Capuchino declined
moving up to the B league Ocean Division,
citing the graduation of nine rst-team all-leaguers as the reason, Jefferson is eager for the
chance not only to earn a promotion to the

Ocean Division, but would like to ultimately
make its way back to the Bay Division.
I think thats our main goal is to get to the
Ocean and then get to the Bay, Maddox said.
We denitely want to be the best and get to
the Bay as quickly as possible.
San Mateo is going to do everything in its
power to prevent that from happening
though. Last year, the Bearcats third-place
nish left them worlds apart from the two division frontrunners, losing to both Cap and Jeff
by a combined score of 94-26.
Even if the Bearcats depth of returning players can take the team to its rst PAL title since
2009, there is no guarantee Scheller whose
team, next year, will be in the same boat as
Cap in terms of graduating players would
want to see his team promoted to the Ocean
Division.
In order to establish a successful program
youve got to be around for a while and breed
success, Scheller said. When were ready to
move up, it will be time.
runs entering this season. He hit 16 in 2015,

but before that, hed never hit more than seven

Graveman tops Tribe to win 10th

By Michael Wagaman
As 5, Indians 1
OAKLAND Kendall Graveman is a big fan

of motivational tapes and speeches, something
the As right-hander relied on quite a bit after losing six of his first seven decisions this year.
How quickly things change.
CAPUCHINO
Teisina Fifita (sr., QB): As a scrum half with
rugbys Pen Green Beavers,Fifita has no qualms
with contact. Caps senior quarterback will
bring a running edge to the position though
he has plenty of zip on his passes to keep defenses honest.This is his first season as a starting
varsity QB though he did lead the junior-varsity team to an 8-2 record at the position as a
sophomore.
Raynaz Obregon-Halim (sr., WR/CB): A 5-10
senior, Obregon-Halim was a two-way starter
last year as a junior. He will serve as Fifitas primary target at the wide out position. But his
most valuable role will be in the defensive secondary, where he will serve as the experience
at the corner. He and Fifita worked in tandem
last year, but Fifita will play exclusively on offense this year, testing the experience of Caps
secondary.
CARLMONT
Timmy Palthe (jr., QB/WR): The Scots starting quarterback as a sophomore, Palthe is
growing into his 6-foot frame. A better natural
thrower on the run, he made strides over the
summer staying in the pocket and exacting
his spiral on target. Under new head coach
Jake Messina this year, Palthe is slated to split
time with fellow junior Henry Reich.
Henry Reich (jr. QB/TE): As a sophomore, the
5-10 Reich saw most of his time as a tight end.
With the way hes pitched lately, Graveman

has emerged as a source of inspiration for
teammates.
Graveman pitched into the seventh inning
to become Oaklands first 10-game winner
Kendall
Graveman
this season, and the As

beat the Indians 5-1
Wednesday to win the
series.
The As took two of
three games from the AL
Central leaders, who had
swept a three-game set
against Oakland in July.
Cleveland went into the
day with the best record in
Lake Division players to watch

The junior gives Messina a different look from
Palthe as more of an option quarterback,
though you didnt hear that from Messina,who
said:One is better at running the option and
one is a better pure passer. Which is which
though? I dont want to say, Messina said.
EL CAMINO
Nathan Julian (sr., OL/DL): A two-way lineman, Julian earned second-team All-Lake
Division honors last year. Entering this year,
head coach Eric Jacobson a former twoway lineman himself called Julian the Colts
best all-around player. He will captain the defense and is hoping to improve on El Caminos
one-win season of 2015.Were really energetic
this year,Julian said.I think weve got the guys
to break out this year.
Sam Langi (jr., OT/DT): A physical specimen,
the 6-4, 290-pound Langi belies the status quo
of smaller linemen in the Lake Division. A firstyear varsity junior, his definitive defensive role
is yet to be determined. At the least, he should
be a fit as a defensive tackle in El Caminos standard 4-3 defensive set. However, Langi has the
potential to take over the middle as a solo nose
tackle, allowing the Colts to convert to a 3-4.
JEFFERSON
Luti Lagoo (sr., G/OLB): One of the few re-
turning linebackers for the Grizzlies, Lagoo is

a good one. As a junior he earned a first-team
All-Lake Division nod after leading Jefferson
with 99 tackles.This year he may move to the
inside with the addition of defensive ends
James Sanders (a transfer from South City) and
first-year junior Ulysses Ramon to shore up the
outside.
Ako Tamasese (sr., C/DT): The captain of the
offensive line, Tamasese earned rave reviews
from head coach Will Maddox for being able
to call audibles at the line. He is one of four returning offensive linemen, which Maddox
intends to take advantage of by utilizing a pure
spread offense, which lines up without the
presence of a tight end.
MILLS
Isi Mapa (sr. OT/NT): A first-team All-Lake Division offensive lineman a year ago, Mapa is
looking to lead the Vikings as a two-way player
into a new era under first-year head coach Mike
Dozier. Mapa wanted to make a statement in
Fridays opener against San Jose so badly, he
begged Dozier to let him play despite being
hampered by a knee injury.Dozier refused but
said Mapa should be available to play Week 2
against Gunn.
Chris Jack (sr., G/MLB): Dozier is placing a lot
of stock in his linebacker corps by utilizing a

SAN MATEO
Anderson Perdomo (sr., RB/MLB): Perdomo
played second fiddle to first-team All-Lake Division running back Josh Fakava last season.
But not my much. Perdomo finished the year
with 927 rushing yards, just 68 yards behind
the team leader Fakava. And that was with
Fakava playing one more game than Perdomo,
who missed the Capuchino game due to injury. Perdomo actually led the team in yards
per game, notching a rushing average of 103
yards.
George Qobti (sr., C/MLB): Qobti (pronounced COBB-tee) is one of four returning
offensive linemen for the Bearcats and proved
the best of the bunch last year by earning firstteam All-Lake Division honors as the teams
center. And this even though he missed three
games due to illness. Equally impressive is he
did this as a two-way player while shining on
the other side of the ball as well, leading the
Bearcats with an average of six tackles per

Rival schools lend football gear

to Oklahoma team after fire
49ERS
LITTLE AXE, Okla. Several Oklahoma

schools are providing equipment and gear to
a rival high school football team whose
locker room caught fire this week.
The fire caused significant damage to helmets, jerseys, pads, cleats and other gear
inside the field house locker room at Little
Axe High School, about 25 miles southeast
of Oklahoma City. The Norman Fire
Department says its still investigating the
cause of Mondays blaze, but estimates the
cost of the damage at $50,000 to $80,000.
The fire department says the blaze was
contained to the locker room and that no
one was hurt.
Little Axe Principal Barry Thomas tells
Oklahoma City television station KWTV
that the school has been inundated with
offers of help from schools that want to
loan gear to the team this season.
I can these next two games to make sure I put

my best foot forward to show this organization, this team, this coaching staff what Im
capable of, he said.
Kelly said Kaepernick has had no limitations this week in practice and is quickly getting up to speed with the offense.
Hes been sharp with all the things mentally, Kelly said. Theres always a little bit
when you take some time off from the physical standpoint there may be a ball that was
behind from a timing standpoint, but theres
no indecision where he doesnt know where
hes going.
Its been a rough stretch for Kaepernick,
whose career has plummeted since leading the
Niners to the Super Bowl following the 2012
season and the NFC championship game the
following year.
He lost his starting job last season, dealt
with various injuries and was nearly traded to
Denver in the offseason. When asked about
the state of his relationship with general manager Trent Baalke, Kaepernick would only call
it a business relationship. Kaepernick also
CAL
doing that, Matt Webb said. You wouldnt
think someone that young would do that but
he would draw up some of his favorite plays
and then hed leave them by my nightstand
or in the bathroom where Id see them. Thats
how he got started in his love for football,
particularly the strategy of it.
Being around football so often helped create Webbs strong work ethic that helped
him win the starting job at Cal just a couple
months after joining the program as a graduate transfer from Texas Tech.
He recalls in particular seeing one of his
fathers players work his way back from
reconstructive knee surgery and took a lesson from that about the benefits of hard
work.
Watching all the time his dad put into
coaching also taught Webb about the sacrifices his coaches made and in turn made him
more appreciative of their work.
Being the son of a coach wasnt always
easy as Matt Webb said he often was harder
on Davis when he coached him in high
school than other players because he was his
son. Davis also got upset at times when Matt
didnt run the plays that Davis suggested.
Now that Davis is in college, the relationship is simpler.

declined to describe a recent conversation
between the two as good, saying only, We
had a conversation.
The time off has given Gabbert a leg up in
the competition. He took all the first-team
practice snaps in the offseason and again
while Kaepernick rested his shoulder earlier
this month.
Gabbert has also taken all the first-team
snaps in the first two preseason games, going
10 for 19 for 132 yards and one touchdown for
a 92.4 passer rating. He has thrown no interceptions and taken no sacks.
Gabbert is back to splitting time with
Kaepernick for now.
You just have to make the most of your
opportunity, he said. Rather than getting
eight reps a period, you get four with the ones,
four with the twos. ... Each rep is a piece of
gold. You have to cherish that and make the
most of that opportunity.
NOTES: First-round DL DeForest Buckner
has practiced fully this week after sitting out
last weeks preseason game with a lower-body
injury. Kelly said Buckners status will be
determined Friday. ... Kelly said Anthony
Davis will get time at right guard in the game
if hes comfortable there. The former right
tackle has been getting time at guard with
Trent Brown entrenched for now as the starting tackle.
In high school he was all on top of everything, whether on the field or at dinner that
night, Davis Webb said. Now hes more a
dad.
But the lessons from dad have helped make
Webb the player he is today. He is an avid
film watcher and user of virtual reality technology. His knowledge of the game and the
offense make it easier for him to make suggestions to his coaches.
When you grow up as a coachs kid you
pay a lot of attention to detail, Spavital
said. Davis watches tape from practice
probably two or three times. One hes going
through the whole thing about scheme. The
next hes going through for his technique.
He pays close attention to every single person on the field. That makes communication
easier for me because hes up to speed and
hes studied everything about it.
Spavital was a similar type of player as the
son of a longtime high school coach in
Oklahoma, Steve, and grandson of former
NFL player and longtime coach Jim, who
spent two years as an assistant in the NFL.
Like Webb, Jake Spavital spent plenty of
time as a kid mapping out plays with his dad,
using stencils to draw them out in the days
before PowerPoint.
They were pretty advanced, Steve
Spavital said. He knew what he wanted to
do, misdirection and hell have some reverses in there and every time he throws the ball
its going to be vertical. Hes going to go
for the home run ball.

Five downsizing tips from the pros

By Katherine Roth
For empty nesters, seniors and others who

find themselves moving into a smaller space,
downsizing can feel emotionally and physically overwhelming. But careful planning and
perspective can make it easier.
It helps to keep your eyes on the prize,
experts say. Envision how great it will feel to
be unburdened by excess and achieve your
goal of living happily with less, in a smaller
but comfortable space, says Stephanie Sisco,
home editor for Real Simple Magazine.
For seniors, it helps to think of the process
as a way to put things in order now so the burden of sorting through everything doesnt fall
to your family later.
For families, downsizing is a great chance
to teach kids organizational skills, she says.
Kids might not be able to help much in the
garage or kitchen, but they are experts on
their own toys, and know which things they
care about and which can go, Sisco says.
Five suggestions to make downsizing easier:
DONT GUESS, CALCULATE

Measure your new space to determine exactly what will fit (and what wont), and precisely where each piece of furniture should go.
Draw a floor chart onto graph paper so that
each square represents a foot, with furniture
pieces cut out from Post-Its and placed appropriately on the grid. Or use one of many available apps that accomplish the same task, generally in greater detail.
I use the Sweet Home 3-D app, but there are
many other apps out there, says Diana
Zagariello, owner and director of Caring
Transitions of Long Island, based in Merrick,
New York. Caring Transitions, which helps
seniors downsize, has 170 offices across the
country.
Its important to know exactly what will
go where so you can make the most of the
muscle available to you on moving day and
arent stuck rearranging heavy furniture in a
small space after the movers have gone
home, she says.
When helping seniors move, she says, get
them and everything theyll be taking with
them moved into the new space first. Going
through the rest of their things can be too
physically and emotionally overwhelming
for many seniors, and is often more efficiently accomplished once they have moved out.
PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE

Start paring down by making a list of
everything you dont love or need so that
you can start selling or giving it away.
Add to your list as you sift through your
things, Sisco says.

Identify appropriate charities.
Before you start a big purge, its good to
know where you want to donate your items
like books, clothes and furniture. Do a little
research, and that way you have a plan to
quickly get rid of things as you go, says
Sisco.
Make sure you have plenty of boxes,
Sharpies, zippered plastic bags and other
materials for quickly packing. Once you get
going, you wont want to lose momentum
because you dont have enough of the right
boxes, she says.
In addition, says Zagariello, Make a nice
long list of who to contact about your change
of address, what services need to be disconnected or transferred, where you want to
donate things or to whom you want to give
them. Everything.
TAKE ON YOUR BELONGINGS

Begin the process of discarding your possessions by tackling the least sentimental
first, so you dont get bogged down, says
Sisco. Start with the laundry room or pantry,
for instance, and work your way up to things
like photos or mementos, the toughest
things to get rid of.
As bestselling author Marie Kondo writes
in the The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying
Up (Ten Speed Press, 2014), it helps to tackle things methodically, keeping only what
you truly love or need.
For seniors, it helps to think of downsizing as a way to put things in order now so the burden
of sorting through everything doesnt fall to your family later.
ENLIST HELP, AND

REMEMBER TO BREATHE
It really helps having someone by your
side, helping you stay focused, Sisco says. It
could be someone from a moving company, a
professional re-locator, a friend, a neighbor
or family member, Sisco says.
Its important to have support making the
many decisions that come up before, during
and after a move.
Give yourself a 5- or 10-minute break every
45 minutes or so, Sisco says.
And if its all too much, hire a relocating
expert to do part or all of the job. In many
cases, estate sales can help cover the cost of
their services.
MAKE IT QUICK
Resettle as quickly as possible to keep your
new, smaller home from feeling cluttered.
You want to get all the boxes unpacked and
out the door, and everything in place in a matter of days. Otherwise boxes can linger
unpacked for far too long, Zagariello says.
If youve done things right in the planning
stages, the resettling part should be pretty
quick and easy, and the quicker you finish up
the better.

SEWAGE
its a park, parking lot or road.
Depending on the year, the tank could be
used anywhere from two to more than a
dozen times and would be cleaned after each
use, she added.
The project is part of the nearly $900 million Clean Water Program a massive
overhaul of the wastewater treatment plant
and the citys sewer collection system
which aims to adhere to a 2009 state mandate.
During severe storms, the citys infrastructure reaches capacity resulting in
untreated sewage that flows down from
throughout San Mateo before being discharged into the Bay, which has environmental repercussions as well.
The thing that people sometimes forget,
or its not in the forefront of their mind, is
that these systems are designed to keep
sewage off the street and we need to provide
capacity, Zammit said, emphasizing
whichever site is chosen, were trying to
look at ways that we can provide a benefit
along with the construction of this.
On Tuesday, the city hosted a well-attended community forum, particularly by new
residents at Bay Meadows who expressed
concerns about the park proposed as a
locale.
People were surprised that such tanks
would be in the midst of neighborhoods and
LOCAL
really close to homes, said Emily Smith,
who lives about a block away from the park.
The city opted to create an underground
storage tank as the most financially feasible alternative to meeting state mandates by
capturing sewage during storms and hold it
until it can be treated at the plant, typically
within an estimated 24 hours, Zammit said.
It manages the flow within the collection system and by having offline storage,
you temporarily divert some of the excess
flow, Zammit said. The storage basins can
provide relief and protection from sanitary
sewer overflows.
After considering 55 locales, officials
narrowed it down to five alternatives based
on geology, hydrology, whether its cityowned property, storage capacity, soil conditions and other factors, Zammit said.
Community input is now sought before
narrowing it down to two alternatives from
which the City Council will select one.
Were trying to focus on [sites] that are
in the proximity of the areas that have the
most flow that needs to be managed and
what sites are big enough to build a basin
on, Zammit said. And were looking at
dual use of the land. So having a storage
facility below and another usage on top.
The possibilities include underground
sites at Fiesta Meadows Park; Bay Meadows
Park; the San Mateo County Event Center
parking lot; and the Hillsdale Plaza, an area
near where the current Caltrain station is
located. Another alternative is to create a
long tunnel that runs underneath Delaware
Street, with two facilities at either end to
provide access, Zammit said.
Each alternative has pros and cons. Some

would require right-of-way easements, have
more technical challenges, require more
pipes or may cost more.
In the case of the city-owned Bay
Meadows Park, theres an existing
depressed field that was created to capture
stormwater overflow to prevent flooding
during extreme weather a requirement that
must be maintained, Zammit said.
You cant build on this site anyway; its a
way to use a site that has limited potential,
Zammit said. Youd end up with abovegrade storage for stormwater and belowgrade storage for sewer.
But Bay Meadows is just one of the possible locales and residents have expressed
concerns.
The event center parking lot is a great
location and would be large enough, but will
require new right-of-way acquisition. The
Hillsdale Plaza area is also privately owned,
and is slated for redevelopment once the
Caltrain station is relocated. However, the
smaller site would likely require a second
tank elsewhere and having storage tanks
below buildings will require reinforced construction techniques that will likely cost
more, Zammit said.
Tunnel storage is another possibility, and
would involve boring space for a 12-inch
pipe running 6,300 feet along Delaware

Fiesta Meadows Park is also an option

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Gavin Ho, who lives near Bay Meadows
Park, said hes concerned the sewage tanks
could affect property values. He also
expressed frustration the city notification
mailers sent to residents didnt describe the
meeting as related to underground sewage
storage, but as a general meeting about the
Clean Water Program.
The size of the sewage tank is humongous. And I feel misled and I think that its a
failure on the part of the city to notify residents, Ho said. This is a community problem and I wish the solution wouldnt place a
large burden on a small subset of the community.
Smith said others expressed concerns
about noise and the fact that the Bay
Meadows Park is practically new.
Staff will incorporate input from this
weeks meetings and the Planning as well as
Parks and Recreation commissions will
consider the five alternatives in September.
The public will again have an opportunity
to weigh in on the two proposals before
theyre presented to the commissions and
eventually City Council in January.
We want to provide as many possible
forums for community input as possible,
Zammit said, noting the city is under state
mandates to not have sewage overflows by
the end of 2018. Every time the storage
facility is used, youre avoiding what would
have been [pollution].
The community meeting is 6:30 p.m.

Backyard mini orchards: Smaller apple trees a popular option

By Dean Fosdick
Miniature trees have become a popular

way to grow apples in backyards.
Dwarf and semi-dwarf trees are smaller
than standard varieties, yet faster to mature
and produce.
Smaller trees are more efficient for labor.
Theyre also more efficient for space, said
Michael Parker, an extension horticulture
specialist and associate professor at North
Carolina A&T State University. Why put
up one tree when you can plant six small
trees with lots of apple varieties? If you
lose one tree, its no big deal. Youll have
other trees producing.
As for maturing, With standard trees, you
have to wait five to seven years, Parker
said. Its two to three years with dwarf or
smaller trees.
Choosing the right dwarf rootstock will
result in miniature orchards, although
youll still need to prune to keep trees down
to size, Parker said.
There are different dwarfing rootstocks,
starting with 8-foot trees and going to 15
feet, he said. But you cant just plant them
and let them go. A dwarf tree doesnt know
FLIGHTS
connect through either Santa Barbara or
Hawthorne on two daily round-trips.
By changing the flight, the airline can
offer twice the number of seats to members
at peak hours when the need to fly is greatest, according to Surf Air.
The airline now has about 3,000 members with a substantial number of them living in the Bay Area.
Although San Carlos has its operational
challenges, its a hugely important market
for us with its closeness to Silicon Valley,
Sullivan said.
The airline is now flying out of Oakland
and San Jose and Sullivan said the company
intends to focus on growing those destinations as well.
In San Carlos, the airline has come under
fire for the noise its planes make on takeoff
and approach.
its supposed to stop growing at 8 feet.

Dwarf trees are smaller than the standard
size, but they still need to be trained and
pruned.
Safety is yet another advantage when
managing smaller trees. Its easier to scout
them for damage and they require less ladder
work especially when applying chemicals.
Most homeowners dont have the necessary equipment for spraying over their
heads, said Michael Bush, an extension
entomologist with Washington State
Universitys Yakima County office. Toxic
spray residues can drip down and run all over
the applicators. A lot of pesticide labels
warn against spraying more than 10 feet
(high). They suggest that you hire a professional.
Arborists generally recommend pruning
apple trees twice a year: first when theyre
dormant, to create better air circulation and
prevent diseases, and second in the summer
to eliminate suckers, improve light gathering and control growth.
Try to keep limbs from growing straight
up and down, Bush said. Encourage
branches to grow laterally and keep fruiting
lower to the ground.
But starting in July, about 65 percent of
Surf Airs flights into San Carlos now fly
over the Bay rather than over residential
neighborhoods in Atherton and North Fair
Oaks.
Residents in those areas have complained
for years about the noise Surf Air planes
make prompting San Mateo County officials to form an Airport Noise Working
Group to tackle the problem.
The county owns the San Carlos and Half
Moon Bay airports.
Surf Airs decision to scale back from
Carlsbad means there will be at least one
less flight out of San Carlos as the company just added another flight to Santa
Barbara, Sullivan said.
But San Diego is not off the map as far as
being a more prominent Surf Air destination in the future, Sullivan said.
Surf Air pilots are now flying over
Moffett Field in Mountain View over the
Bay on a path that takes them over the end
of Seaport Drive in Redwood City toward
the county-owned airstrip.
Weve moved quite a bit of traffic off the

Peninsula, Sullivan said.
Inclement weather, however, can force
the planes to fly over residences, he said.
The high number of airports and flights
over the Bay Area make flight paths restrictive, he said.
Theres still room for improvement,
Sullivan said.
The Airport Noise Working Group developed a series of voluntary noise reduction
procedures the past couple years including a
curfew but they have not substantially
curbed the complaints.
Mandatory measures are also being considered that may include: time of day
restrictions, night curfew, implement a
reservation/slot system for arrivals, imple-
ment the number of flights by carrier and

restrictions on helicopters.
In just a few years, the members-only airline has increased its number of flights
from three to 30 a day. But the Federal
Aviation Administration sets the routes,
flight paths and altitude planes must fly at
when approaching the San Carlos Airport.
Surf Air members pay a fee to sign up for
the service and then pay a monthly fee for
unlimited flights to the airlines 12 destinations, including Las Vegas and Lake
Tahoe.
The San Carlos Airport has about
130,000 flights annually. Flights have
increased 13 percent since 2012 and noise
complaints have also increased significantly.

SCHOOL
along the Peninsula not funded by
local property taxes.
A rift between staff and officials over
the districts limited budget came to a
head when teachers threatened a strike
over perceptions of inadequate pay. In
the wake of the community and educators aligning in opposition of the
administration and school board, former superintendent David Hutt was
ousted and replaced last year by Olson.
The concerns of teachers were quelled
after agreeing to a raise.
Despite being forced to continuously grapple with financial constraints,
Olson said officials have worked hard
to address the specific needs of their
community and the grant money was a
welcome addition to beef up educational support services.
We have been able to offer a really
strong early childhood education program that is sensitive to the different
cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds of our students, she said.
But we know we need more, and thats
why we went for the Big Lift.
The grant money allowed the district
to hire three new teachers, two support
aides and one parent liaison who
Olson said will help operate a preschool program serving roughly 180
local children, an expansion of about
30 students from the previous capacity.
Preschool and early education is a
primary focus of the Big Lift initiative
launched by local philanthropists and
government officials to improve
school services in underserved San
Mateo County communities.
SCORES
educators throughout San Mateo
County as we try to ensure that every
student is moving toward college and
career readiness.
State education officials echoed a
similar sentiment regarding the future
opportunity to better serve all those in
public schools.
For the second year in a row with
new online testing, a majority of
white students met or exceeded expectations while a minority of Hispanic
and black students did so.
Of course theres more work to do,
but our system has momentum, said
California Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson.

Students in San Bruno joined others

in Redwood City and East Palo Alto as
the most recent recipients of a combined nearly $2 million annual allocation from the fund worth more than
roughly $20 million, primary filled by
money from the countys Measure A
tax.
Early education and preschool programs are effective in helping close
the achievement gap and enhancing
literacy as well as language skills, but
also offer additional benefits by helping students and families understand
the value of establishing consistent
attendance habits, said Olson.
The district has improved its overall
student attendance in the past year,
jumping to a 95 percent average daily
rate, but Olson said she hopes some of
the additional staff hired with the grant
money will help foster with local families the importance of showing up to
school daily.
The new preschool community liaison will be responsible for building
relationships with parents of young
students set to soon join the district
and encouraging them to commit to
the practice of ensuring their children
are in the classroom every day.
Olson said the liaison must be able
to deliver their message in a fashion
which resonates with San Bruno residents, does not condescend to them
and is sensitive to the restrictions
some families face in trying to balance
personal and professional obligations.
It is someone with a set of skills
and personal relationships who can
come work alongside the parents, and
not preach or dictate at them, she
said. And not everyone is able to do
that.
Beyond the benefits of building
healthy habits at a young age, Olson
said a financial incentive exists for the

district in ensuring classrooms are as
full as possible because a portion of
the states funding is tied to daily
attendance rates.
She said she hopes the investment in
staff fueled by the grant money will
pay dividends toward continuing the
positive attendance momentum built
last year.
We are heading in the right direction with that and the district will continue to focus on it, she said.
An additional point of emphasis is
fortifying the districts summer school
program, said Olson, to reduce the
summer learning loss some students
experience during the extended break
from classes.
But with sights set squarely on the
upcoming fall semester, Olson said
she is excited for district students to
start school on campuses recently renovated and improved through the volunteer effort of local corporations.
HandsOn Bay Area, an organization
dedicated to coordinating community
service, sent hundreds of workers from
large companies headquartered in San
Bruno such as Walmart.com to five of
the seven district schools over the
summer, where they donated time to
beautify the campuses.
Fresh coats of paint, new play
spaces, recently manicured grounds
and other campus improvements made
possible through the volunteer effort
will receive district students when the
first school bell rings Thursday, Aug.
25, in San Bruno.
Olson said she is excited for students
to begin their classes in an environment enhanced in aesthetics and education, partially made possible by the
communitys contribution.
Its very touching and I am
absolutely grateful, she said.
o n ce i n h i g h s ch o o l .
Students in California and other
states that adopted the Common Core
standards began taking exams aligned
to the new math and reading requirements for the first time last year.
The Common Core standards are
designed to ensure students are ready
for college or careers and the new tests
are significantly different than the
multiple choice paper-and-pencil
exams most were used to taking.
The new online test asks progressively more difficult questions after
students answer correctly.
Educators braced for lower scores
last year as students and teachers
adjusted to the new standards and tests.
California has also suspended its
school accountability system as the
state Board of Education develops a
new school performance assessment
that takes into account a range of educational indicators besides test scores.
The second year of testing showed
gains in both tested subjects across all
groups but reinforced long-standing

achievement gaps between students by
race and ethnicity, English language
learner status, disability and economic
status.
In math, 53 percent of white students
met or exceeded expectations, compared to 24 percent of Hispanic students and 18 percent of black students.
In English, 64 percent of white students met or exceeded the new standards compared with 37 percent of
Hispanic students and 29 percent of
black students.
Torlakson said rising scores can be
attributed to more familiarity with taking the test online, an extra year of
teaching the new state standards and
improvements in technology. But he
expressed concern with the achievement gaps.
The achievement gap is pernicious
and persistent, he said. And we all
need to work together to find solutions
that help all groups rise, while narrowing the gap.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Albert L. Montgomery
Case Number: 16PRO00211
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Albert Leroy Montgomery
or Monty Montgomery: A Petition for Probate has been filed by Mary Saal in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Mary Saal be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if
any, be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examiniation in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative to take
many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice
to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: 9/12/2016 at 9:00
a.m., Department 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
