in California

according to a
survey
commissioned by

Positive feedback jumped significantly when the name of the
new standards was dropped from
the poll question, and participants
were merely asked whether they
support school curriculum focusing on central themes of critical
thinking and analytical problem
solving.
Ted Lempert, president of

Children Now, said the results are
indicative of the misguided politicization surrounding Common
Core and its implementation in
schools across the country.
Theres just so much confusion
about what Common Core is, and
when you ask folks whether they
want updated and quality stan-
dards, it is just overwhelmingly

popular, said Lempert.
More than 90 percent of polled
voters said they felt it was important to promote deep thinking and

A protest is planned in downtown Redwood City Saturday

morning to put a focus on runaway growth, high rent increases
and the lack of affordable housing.

Coast Guard issues

coastal flood, high surf advisories
Beachgoers and boaters on the Northern

caution this weekend as hazardous weather
conditions set in Friday morning, U.S.
Coast Guard officials said.
The Coast Guard has issued a Coastal
Flood Advisory and High Surf Advisory for

Friday from 3 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Northwest swells as large as 14 to 16 feet
are expected Friday morning, Coast Guard
officials said.
Boaters and beachgoers should be especially cautious on and near the water over
the next several days, Danielle Couture, a
search and rescue specialist at the Coast
Guard Sector San Francisco Command
Center, said in a statement.
Were ready to respond if boaters and
beachgoers find themselves in distress,
Couture said.
Even larger swells are anticipated for
Sunday, Coast Guard officials said.
Strong rip currents and large shore breaks
are expected to affect all west- and northwest-facing beaches from Sonoma County
to Monterey County.
Rip currents can exhaust swimmers and
are usually more frequent and stronger near
piers, inlets and jetties, Coast Guard officials said.
Large shore breaks can result in injury,
and large wave run-ups can unexpectedly
pull people into cold, turbulent waters.

Daughter fears drug

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expect to pay more to heat your

home this winter than you spent last
year.
Thats the message from government analysts who sifted through forecasts for a colder winter and slightly
higher energy prices.
The Energy Department said
Thursday that household bills are likely to be higher for all four main heating fuels natural gas, electricity,
heating oil and propane.
Last winter, above-normal temperatures reduced nationwide demand for
heating fuels to the lowest level in at
least 25 years. For most regions outside the West, this winter is expected
to be more typical colder than last
winter although still milder than many
recent ones, according to forecasters
with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
If winter turns out to be colder than
expected, however, heating bills could
soar.
In Portland, Maine, William Foss
had insulation wrapped around his
heating ducts this summer and set aside
money to survive Maines fickle winter weather and volatile fuel market. He
usually tops off his 275-gallon oil
tank about three times, sometimes
with help from federal subsidies, and
he was rattled by the forecast of higher
heating bills.
Forecast for average household heating bill

NATURAL GAS: up 22 percent, or $116, to
$635 on a national average. However the
average bill in the Northeast is expected
to rise 29 percent, or $198, to $889. If winter
is colder than NOAA predicts, the increases
would be 31 percent nationally and 38
percent in the Northeast.
Nearly half of all American homes are
heated with natural gas.The price of gas is
expected to rise a modest 11 percent over
last winter, but still that would be the
highest average winter price in six years.
Pipeline bottlenecks have slowed the
delivery of gas to the Northeast in past
years. The energy agency said that more
gas from Pennsylvania will be available for
New Englanders this winter due to a new
pipeline expected to open next month.
HEATING OIL: up 38 percent, or $378, to
an average $1,370.
Only 5 percent of U.S. homes use heating
oil, but it warms nearly one-fourth of
homes in the Northeast.The bad news for
them: The retail price is up by 42 cents per
gallon, or 20 percent, since last winter
because of higher crude prices. And if the
weather forecast is right, Northeast
residents will burn more oil.
James Bambino, managing editor of S&P
Global Platts, which tracks energy prices,
said he is telling friends to lock in their
heating-oil prices now.
Prices arent likely to fall much because
inventories are relatively high,
Bambino said. But, he added, if
February rolls around and theres a
massive cold snap and everybody
needs to buy heating oil from the same
distributor, then the prices go up.

ELECTRICITY: up 5 percent, or $49, to $945
due to higher consumption. Rates are
expected to be flat.
Nearly 40 percent of U.S. households heat
with electricity including more than 60
percent in the South. In New England, more
power is now generated with natural gas,
making heating with electricity
competitive with simply burning the gas to
stay warm.
PROPANE: Lower than most years, but
higher than last winter, when temperatures
were mild and prices low.
In the Northeast, the forecast calls for an
average increase of $346, or 21 percent, to
$1,991; in the Midwest, its $290 more, or
30 percent, to $1,272.
WOOD AND WOOD PELLETS: used to
heat about 2.5 million U.S. homes including
one-fifth of rural households in New
England. The energy agency didnt offer a
cost forecast.
It is important to remember that the
figures are averages.The national estimates
include Michigan and Minnesota but also
Texas and Arizona, where people put on
parkas if the temperature dips below 60.
And they include all kinds of dwellings
a consumer with a 3,500-square-foot
house is likely to pay more than the
average, while an apartment renter will
usually pay less.
For the individual consumer trying to
budget, it is more helpful to look at the
expected increase in percentage terms and
apply that to his or her bill, said Energy
Department spokesman Tim Hess.

WASHINGTON Federal forecasters see a weak and

short-lived La Nia coming, probably next month. The flip
side of El Nino changes weather patterns worldwide, often
bringing drier weather to the southern parts of the United
States, including drought-struck California.
Climate Prediction Center deputy director Mike Halpert
forecasts a 70 percent chance that La Nia will arrive next
month. Conditions mostly cooling of the central Pacific
are almost there, but not quite.
Forecasters had long expected this La Nia, but last
month conditions reversed and forecasters called their La
Nia watch off. Now its back on.
La Nias usually mean wetter winters in the northern
Rockies, Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley, as well as
Indonesia and the Amazon. And usually it is drier in the
western and central Pacific.

them thinking they were drugs.
Carolyn Parker tells The Enterprise of Brockton the ashes
were in a plastic bag inside a small white box in her glove
compartment. They were taken from her unlocked Jeep in
Massachusetts on Monday.
She said the thief took only the ashes, leaving behind her
expensive sunglasses, $20 in change and a gold chain
hanging from her rearview mirror.
Her mother died in July at age 71. Parker had the ashes in
her vehicle so she could spread them at her mothers
favorite spots.
She says its mortifying to think that someone may
have ingested the ashes.
Shes asking the thief to return them no questions asked.

Clinton: 2016 tone enough to

make people watch cat GIFs
By Ken Thomas
SAN FRANCISCO Hillary

Clinton
vowed to
defend
Americans she says have been
attacked by rival Donald Trump on
Thursday, telling donors at a
fundraiser that the campaigns
negative tone might make some
people retreat to the Internet to
watch soothing cat GIFs.
Without mentioning allegations
of sexual assault against Trump,
Clinton said, disturbing stories
just keep on coming about him.
But she offered herself as a buffer
to his insults of immigrants,
African-Americans,
Latinos,
Muslims and the disabled.
Theres hardly any part of
America that he has not targeted.
Now it makes you want to turn off
the news. It makes you want to
unplug the Internet or just look at
cat GIFs, Clinton said to laughter. Believe me, I get it. In the
last few weeks, Ive watched a lot
of cats do a lot of weird and interesting things. But we have a job
to do and it will be good for people and for cats.
Clinton delivered her most
extensive remarks about allegations of sexual misconduct
against Trump days after a video
showed him bragging about kissing women and forcing himself on
them without their permission.
She also referenced reports that
Trumps team may aggressively
try to use her husbands past infidelities against her beyond
their decision to bring four former
Bill Clinton accusers to last week-

His campaign is promising
more scorched earth attacks. Now
thats up to him. He can run his
campaign however he chooses.
And frankly I dont care if he goes
after me. I signed on for this. But I
will defend and stand up for every
other person or every other
group, she said.
Clinton urged voters not to
become wary of the negative tone
of the campaign. I think some
people are discouraged by it, feel
that they dont want to even get
involved by voting because its
so abhorrent to them, Clinton
said. But we have to make the
case that the best way to rebuke
the kind of campaign that the
other side has run is by defeating
my opponent and what he stands

as horrible, horrible liars
By Steve Peoples
and Jonathan Lemire
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

Donald Trump heatedly rejected
new allegations of sexual assault
as pure fiction on Thursday,
hammering his female accusers as
horrible, horrible liars as the
already-nasty 2016 presidential
campaign sank further into
charges and countercharges of
attacks on women.
Campaign foe Hillary Clinton
was mostly silent on the issue. But
Trump faced a passionate rebuke
from first lady Michelle Obama,
who warned that his behavior is
not something we can ignore.
After years of working to end
this kind of violence and abuse
and disrespect ... were hearing

these exact same things on the
campaign trail. We are drowning
in it, Obama declared in battleground New Hampshire, her voice
cracking with emotion. We cant
expose our children to this any
longer, not for another minute, let
alone for four years.
With Election Day less than four
weeks away, Republican Trump
was again forced to defend himself
against allegations of sexual misconduct, five days after a video surfaced in which he bragged about
kissing and groping women without their permission.
Similar behavior was detailed by
women who accused Trump in articles published late Wednesday by
The New York Times and the Palm
Beach Post. Separately, a People
Magazine reporter offered a firstperson account accusing Trump of

attacking her while she was in
Florida to interview him and his
pregnant wife.
Ever defiant, the New York billionaire denied the allegations
and blamed them on Hillary
Clintons campaign and the complicit news media as he campaigned in Florida. He promised
to sue his media critics and said he
was preparing evidence that
would discredit his female accusers, whom he called horrible
people. Theyre horrible, horrible liars.
These vicious claims about me,
of inappropriate conduct with
women, are totally and absolutely
false. And the Clintons know it,
he charged.

U.S. strikes in Yemen risk

wider entanglement in
another Middle East war
WASHINGTON The direct U.S. entry into

Yemens civil war, for now a limited response
to rebel missile fire on a U.S. Navy ship,
risks a wider entanglement that could leave
the next American president embroiled in a
yet another unwanted Middle East war with
broad implications for the region and
beyond.
Obama administration officials from the
White House, Pentagon and State Department
all argued that Thursdays cruise missile
strikes on radar sites controlled by Iranianbacked Houthi rebels were strictly a selfdefense measure and not an escalation in military involvement.
These strikes are not connected to the
broader conflict in Yemen, Pentagon
spokesman Peter Cook said. We want to
make crystal clear that if you threaten our
forces, you threaten our ships, we will be prepared to respond, as we did in this case.
The potential consequences of more
American military action and even possibly inaction could affect the stability of
the longstanding U.S.-Saudi relationship,
Disability rights group sues

Uber over wheelchair access
CHICAGO A Chicago disability rights
group sued Uber Thursday over wheelchair
accessibility, arguing that the mobile ridehailing companys adherence to federal disability laws ranges from token to nonexistent despite its expanding role in the
nations transportation system.
The 19-page lawsuit, filed in U.S. District
Court in Chicago on behalf of Access
Living of Metropolitan Chicago and several
individuals, seeks an order requiring that
Uber comply with the 1990 Americans With
Disabilities Act, or ADA, by making far
more wheelchair-accessible vehicles available.
(Ubers) position threatens a return to
the isolation and segregation that the disability rights movement has fought to overcome, the filing says.
maritime security in an area where Iran has

shown increasing interest, and last years
landmark nuclear deal with the Islamic republic. Any would impact the balance of power in
the flashpoint region.
The U.S. is already involved in the conflict
indirectly through its support of the Saudi-led
coalition fighting the rebels on behalf of the
Yemen government. And the willingness to
move from proxy to active combatant, even
in self-defense, opens the door to a greater
role. It has happened before. Despite a deep
reluctance, President Barack Obama has
expanded the U.S. military footprint in Iraq
and Syria to confront the threat posed by the
Islamic State group. In Yemen, the administrations actions have previously been confined to drone strikes against al-Qaidas affiliate there and logistical support to the Saudis.
Strikes against Houthi targets are the first of
their kind.
It appears the Houthis lashed out at the
United States with missile fire against the
USS Mason in the Red Sea in retaliation after
warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition struck
a funeral in the Yemeni capital Sanaa last
weekend attended by senior rebel figures.

Galaxy count may now
top 2 trillion across universe
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Thought the
universe was crowded with 100 billion to
200 billion galaxies? Try 1 trillion or even
2 trillion galaxies and more.
Thats the latest census, reported
Thursday. An astrophysics professor at the
University of Nottingham in England led
the international team that came up with the
mind-boggling estimate of 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. Professor Christopher
Conselice said that represents a minimum
tenfold increase.
In a phone interview, Conselice said he
was surprised by the results. He anticipated
two or three times more galaxies, perhaps,
but 10 is quite high and it could prove to
be even greater.

Hurricane Nicole is seen in the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane Nicole pummels Bermuda

with high wind and then spins away
By Josh Ball
HAMILTON, Bermuda Hurricane Nicole

roared across Bermuda on Thursday, pummeling the resort island with winds up to
115 mph that snapped trees and peeled off
roofs before the storm spun away into open
water.
The Category 3 system also flooded
homes, damaged boats that broke away from
their moorings and knocked out power to
more than 27,000 customers who live in the
British territory, which has sturdy infrastructure and is accustomed to heavy weather.
By late Thursday afternoon, crews were
clearing roads, and many islanders were
posting pictures of calmer seas and clearer
skies.
Nicole is now racing away, said James
Dodgson, deputy director at the Bermuda
Weather Service. Theres been a bit of sunshine trying to poke through. Forecasters
expected to cancel a tropical storm warning
later in the evening.
Hours earlier, Bermudas 65,000 people
got a brief respite from the storms fury when
the eye of the hurricane passed overhead.
Authorities urged everyone to stay inside.

After the eye moved away, the wind grew
strong enough to fling open a hatch on the
weather services radar, rendering it useless
until the hatch could be shut, forecasters
said.
Nick West, who lives with his family near
a wharf in the town of St. George, said a large
portion of his roof was ripped off just before
the eye passed. His garden is now underwater.
Just as long as we are all safe, that is all I
really care about, he said.
In Nicoles aftermath, government officials inspected bridges and other structures.
The Royal Bermuda Regiment removed
uprooted trees and other debris from roads.
Cleanup efforts were expected to continue
until early Friday, and the islands airport
planned to reopen by then. Schools were
scheduled to stay closed until Monday.
The hurricane weakened to a Category 2
storm as it churned toward the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean. By Thursday evening, it was
about 180 miles (285 kilometers) northeast
of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds
of 110 mph (175 kph). The system was moving northeast at 21 mph (33 kph).

Peace is top priority for next

U.N. chief Antonio Guterres
By Edith M. Lederer
UNITED NATIONS Antonio Guterres pledged Thursday

to make the pursuit of peace in a conflict-torn world his
over-arching priority after being elected the next secretary-general of the
United Nations.
The former Portuguese prime minister
and U.N. refugee chief told the 193 members of the U.N. General Assembly who
elected him by acclamation that the
United Nations has the moral duty and
the universal right to ensure peace
and he will be promoting a new diploAntonio
macy for peace advocating dialogue to
Guterres
settle disputes.
Gutteres said he will do his best before taking the reins of
the U.N. from Ban Ki-moon on Jan. 1 to prepare to act as
a convener, an honest broker, someone trying to bring people together in conflicts and crises from Syria and Yemen
to South Sudan.
Its high time to fight for peace, he said, and make people understand that whatever divisions exist its more
important to unite and end the suffering because of the risks
for countries in conflict and the international community.

Nigeria says 21 abducted
Chibok schoolgirls freed in swap
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Twenty-one of Nigerias Chibok
schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram more than two years
ago have been freed in a swap for detained leaders of the
Islamic extremist group, the government and military said
Thursday. Some 197 girls remain captive, though it is not
known how many of them may have died.
The freed girls, the first to be released as a result of government action, are in the custody of the Department of
State Services, Nigerias secret intelligence agency, according to presidential spokesman Garba Shehu.
The government wants the girls to have some rest, with
all of them very tired coming out of the process, Shehu
said.

it was reported Oct. 8 by the Os ag e

Before your brow stays crinkled
like it is right now after reading that,
it is not our Burlingame, and not our
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo.
Rather the City Council of
Burlingame, Kansas, and Hill, the

that tiny town of under 1,000 population.
Turns out the town of Burlingame,
Kansas, is also named after Ans o n
Burl i ng ame, the namesake of our
Bayfront Peninsula town, but it was
rather because of his anti-slavery
views. Our Burlingame is named after
him because he owned signicant
property there but never lived in his
namesake town.
As to that other Jerry Hill? He won
rst, second and third place in the
popcorn competition at the Kans as
State Fai r this year and the council
decided to recognize it. Hill wants to
have signs installed at all four roads
leading into the city, according to
the Osage County Herald-Chronicle.
Seems our state Sen. Jerry Hill has
got his work cut out for him to keep
up with Kansas Jerry Hill, he of kettle korn fame. Award-winning kettle

No on Measure I
Editor,
Belmont ofcials claim that roads
are in poor condition due to underspending, and the only solution is
Measure I to increase sales taxes. To
justify this tax, it appears that city
ofcials grossly understated the
amounts spent on streets to exaggerate the funding shortfall. City
Manager Greg Scoles refuses to reveal
past spending on street pavement to
help voters make an informed decision, or to correct previous false
information.
In a June 9, 2015, staff report, city
ofcials stated that Belmont spent
approximately $360,000 a year on
pavement preservation, rehabilitation and reconstruction. I asked
Scoles for supporting records for this
amount but was told it was just an
estimate for the years 2010-2014.
There were no records to support it.
However, a review of published
budget numbers indicates that
Belmont likely spent more than $1.3
million per year on street pavement
during those years (funds 231, 234
and 310), exceeding the $1.2 million
needed to maintain the streets in their
current condition, according to the
citys consultant. This spending has
steadily increased since then, to an
estimated $1.7 million in 2015 and
$2.3 million in 2016.
City ofcials knew, or should have
known, when they published the gure of $360,000 that it was false,
because they could have easily looked
at published budget estimates for
those years, or run simple data queries
to get the actual amounts. I issued
public records act requests for the
actual amounts, but Scoles wont provide them unless I pay over $675.
Since city ofcials wont reveal
actual spending on streets, how can
residents evaluate their claims that
higher taxes are needed? Vote no on
Measure I.
Timothy Strinden
Belmont
Yes on Measure I
Editor,
Im voting yes on I. Here is my reasoning.
In the 2013 election, there was a
notable transformation on the
Belmont City Council. Our new council has followed a determined agenda
of economic development, easing
restrictive remodel/addition rules,
addressing the housing crisis, maintaining a lean city hall, adding police
worn cameras, and tackling frustrating trafc issues on Ralston Avenue
and Alameda de las Pulgas.
Most importantly, our new council

leaned in to a $150 million decaying

infrastructure issue. It is bafing why
past councilmembers ignored these
issues and let them grow so out of
hand. Belmonts roads are the worst
in San Mateo County, and in the bottom 8 percent of the Bay Area. Storm
drains are so deteriorated some places
that theyve disintegrated. Measure I
wont solve all of our problems
overnight, but its a long overdue
start. Im thrilled the council proposed a general tax measure that has a
chance of passing at a 50 percent
threshold rather than a specic measure that would almost certainly have
failed at a nearly 70 percent threshold.
Measure I money stays here the
state cant take it away. Transparency
and accountability are ensured
through a citizens oversight committee that will report to the Belmont
community.

Voters keep more

money in-pocket
Editor,
Taxpayers in Belmont, particularly
those on a xed income, have a rare
opportunity to keep more of their
money in their ownpocket in the
November election. How, exactly?
They can vote their nancial wellbeing on three ballot issues. They
would, in effect,be holding a winning trifecta ticket.
First, vote no on the Belmont
sales tax Measure I.City ofcials
propose spending the one-halfcentnew sales tax on various infrastructure projects. Careful analysis
strongly disproves the citys needfor
additional tax income.In truth, the
city can spend the proposednew
money for any lawful
purpose.Salaries and pensions may
wellcome to city ofcials minds
ahead of any infrastructure project.
Belmonts sales tax rate is already
higher than 97 percent of California
localities.
Second, vote no on County
Measure K, which extends an existing
half-cent sales tax for an additional
20 years. That tax already has six
years to run. Politicians, it appears,

Yes on Measure I
Editor,
Im voting yes on Measure I
because I believe in taking care of
things that matter. Belmont is a beautiful place to live. It provides a peaceful environment for older families and
a wholesome environment where
younger families can raise their children. Im proud to live here.
Enjoying a valuable resource carries
the obligation to be a good steward.
You spend money to take care of your
house, you spend money to take care
of your car, you spend money to take
care of your health. Measure I is an
opportunity for the citizens of
Belmont to be good stewards. The
time has come to take care of our
infrastructure our roads, our storm
drains, the things that make Belmont
work. No one likes paying taxes, but
it is part of the price for living in a
great place.
Measure I is the right way to fund
this obligation. It spreads the cost
out among residents and those who
visit our city and it isnt excessively
costly for any one part of town it
wont chase business away and it
wont place an undue burden on any
one segment of our community. The
money has to come from somewhere;
this is a fair way to do it.
Measure I is a call to Belmont residents to step up to the plate and be
good stewards of our town. Please
vote yes and take care of our city.

The legacy of
Bertha Sanchez
I
m not exactly sure when I first met Bertha

Sanchez though I suppose it was likely at a public
meeting about 20 years ago when I first started
working as a journalist in San Mateo.
She was definitely a woman of action both in her
North Central San Mateo neighborhood and at City
Hall, always willing to share her opinion and try to
bring you along to her point of view or at least get you
to share yours and participate
in the civic discourse.
She not only walked the
walk but she also tried to get
others to walk along with
her.
A few years ago, I was in
the middle of trying to fix a
leak in my laundry room and
was putting some ruined drywall in my driveway when I
spotted Bertha across the
street. She was doing some
kind of neighborhood
cleanup and quickly called me
over. I walked across the
street to say hi when she immediately tried to enlist me
in helping her and two other volunteers. It wasnt so
much, do you want to help, it was more, can you pick up
those items over there I cant reach?
I explained I was in the middle of a project that needed
to be completed that day so she took the next best thing
and asked me to bring over my garbage can. Ill put it
back in your driveway when Im done.
Saying no didnt seem to be an option so I brought it
over. Later that day, it was in my driveway filled just
over half way. Im guessing she could have filled it, but
knew I needed a little room for the rest of the weeks
garbage.
And so it was with Bertha. She was literally at the
center of the effort to maintain her neighborhood and
get others involved by the very nature of her spirit.
When I came to San Mateo, it was seemingly at the
tail end of a long saga in which the people of North
Central had largely won in their effort to keep their
neighborhood from being the dumping ground of the
city. For too many years, the story goes, zoning was
very loose in the working class neighborhood, which
is one of the oldest in the city. That meant there were
buildings constructed with little oversight and issues
with traffic and congestion on its narrow streets.
Thanks to the effort by Bertha and others in the neighborhood such as Dorothy Chow, Jane Williams and former mayor Claire Mack (and many many others), there
was more attention paid to the neighborhood. Their
effort was the very essence of social justice and equality that just because a neighborhood is poor, doesnt
mean its residents shouldnt benefit from the same
treatment as other areas of the city. That is still very
much a work in progress but it shows that a group of
passionate people who believe in fair and equal treatment can ask for and demand it because its simply the
right thing to do.
In the time Ive spent watching this city, there are
always issues that arise and people who rise to the
occasion. There are also ebbs and flows to that action
depending on the situation. Sometimes a group gets
organized and continues once the situation that drew
them together passed. Sometimes it falls to stasis. But
with Bertha, it was always perpetual motion for the
common good. She was simply a force and the very definition of indefatigable when it came to her city and her
neighborhood.
I always knew I could call on her for her take on any
situation and for information on the people of North
Central at any time. It was reassuring that I could always
expect to hear Hey kiddo as a greeting even when I
had long grew past my kiddo stage. Her presence in
North Central was reassuring because I knew there would
always be someone there to fight for the neighborhood
and its incredibly diverse and interesting residents. Now
that she has passed, it is her legacy that remains. Id
like to think that everyone in North Central San Mateo
and the city of San Mateo who knew Bertha will always
carry a little of her spirit in them now but her leadership, honesty and can-do essence can never be truly
replaced.

Stocks shaken by China report, but recover from plunge

By Marley Jay
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK Bank stocks were

shaken Thursday after a steep drop
in Chinas exports made investors
worry again about the health of the
worlds second-largest economy.
U.S. stocks gradually recovered
most of their losses as safer investments like utilities traded higher.
Indexes took big losses early on
after major Asian markets skidded
overnight. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped as much as
184 points. Industries that depend
heavily on China and global economic growth, like technology
and energy companies, also fell.
As the day wore on, though,
investors bought utilities, real
estate investment trusts, and other
stocks that tend to pay big dividends.
And they seemed to reconsider
how well Chinas economy is
doing. Over the last few months it
appeared to be getting stronger,
said David Chalupnik, head of equities for Nuveen Asset Management.
Weve had three months of good
data out of China, he said. The
question is, is it just one number or
is this the start of a new trend?

Chinas exports fell 10 percent
in September compared with a year
ago. That was worse than analysts
expected, and it was also a much
bigger drop than in August. China
has been critical to global economic growth for a quarter century, and
since the summer of 2015, stocks
have periodically been roiled by
worries that Chinas economy was
weakening.

HP Inc. will cut 3,000 to

4,000 jobs over next three years
SAN FRANCISCO HP Inc. says it will
cut 3,000 to 4,000 jobs over the next three
years as it faces continued challenges in the
markets for personal computers and printers.
The cuts are in addition to 3,000 jobs that
HP previously said it was trimming this fiscal year. A spokeswoman said the company
has about 50,000 employees worldwide.
HP Inc. has been grappling with shrinking demand for PCs and printers as more
people use smartphones and store documents and photos online. CEO Dion Weisler
hopes to build the business by selling more
high-end PCs, office printers and 3D printing systems.
HP Inc. is one of two companies formed
last year by the break-up of the old HewlettPackard, Inc.
The other, Hewlett Packard Enterprise,

New York state deems two ex-Uber
drivers employees, not contractors
NEW YORK Two former Uber drivers
are eligible for unemployment benefits after
the state labor department determined they
were employees, not independent contractors as the company says, an advocacy
group announced Thursday.
This is a historic victory, New York Taxi
Workers Alliance executive director
Bhairavi Desai said at a news conference in
front of state Department of Labor offices in
Manhattan.
The alliance filed a lawsuit over the summer on behalf of Levon Aleksanian and
Jakir Hossain after they complained their
claims for unemployment were not being
reviewed. Independent contractors cannot
collect benefits.
Uber, which is based in San Francisco, is
appealing the labor departments determination.
regulators said Wells Fargo opened

bank and credit card accounts without telling customers and also
moved money between accounts
and created fake email addresses to
sign customers up for online
banking. The second largest U.S.
bank has been fined $185 million
for its actions, and its stock is
down 11 percent since early
September.

Goldman Sachs unveils

personal loan service
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Goldman Sachs unveiled a

long-awaited online consumer lending service Thursday, the investment banks latest
push to retail banking.
Eligible customers will be able borrow up
to $30,000 as fixed-rate, no-fee, unsecured
personal loans, with terms from two to six
years. The service will be called Marcus,
after one of the firms founders, Marcus
Goldman. Its only the second foray into
consumer finance for the venerable investment bank, which is better known as a
power-player on Wall Street catering to
wealthy investors, corporations and institutions. Earlier this year, it began offering
online savings accounts and CDs.
Goldman Sachs is entering into a crowded
industry. Online lenders like Prosper,
Lending Club, Sofi and Avant are among the
bigger names in the online lending market.
And there are plenty of personal loan
offerings from traditional retail banks like
JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, or U.S.
Bank. Most of these loans are aimed at customers with high credit scores looking to
refinance credit card debt.
Marcus offers an option for consumers

who are searching for a simpler alternative
to credit card borrowing, where rates can
change and multiple fees can be charged,
Harit Talwar, head of Marcus, said in a prepared statement.
Initially, potential Marcus customers will
be limited to those who receive mailers with
a code to invite them to apply for a loan.
Goldman said it plans on expanding the
potential audience for personal loans in the
coming months. The bank plans to offer
loans with flexible payment dates and
amounts, features that companies like
Prosper and SoFi do not offer.
Goldman Sachs has seen consumer banking as a way to expand its business without
large amounts of risk. It bought the online
deposits of GE Capital earlier this year and
used that to launch GSBank, its own online
savings platform. Its online lending service
was long expected. Goldman had said it was
exploring getting into the service and
announced key hires to help launch it.
Unlike Prosper or Lending Club, Goldman
will be using its own deposits to fund the
loans, which will give the bank an advantage because it will not have to meet the
whims of outside investors.
Verizon: Yahoo data breach had material impact

Verizons top lawyer says it now has reason to believe Yahoos recently disclosed
data breach has a material impact on
Verizons pending $4.8 billion acquisition
of Yahoo. That leaves open the possibility
that Verizon could seek a change in the price
or other terms.
A Verizon spokesman confirmed that
Craig Silliman, general counsel at Verizon,
made the comments to reporters during a
roundtable discussion Thursday. I think we
have a reasonable basis to believe right now
that the impact is material and were looking to Yahoo to demonstrate to us the full
impact, he said.
Silliman didnt say whether Verizon will
seek a price reduction, but added that Yahoo
will have to convince Verizon if it doesnt
believe the breach of at least 500 million

users email accounts had a significant
impact on its business.
Earlier this week, Verizon CEO Lowell
McAdam said his company was investigating but vowed Verizon wouldnt walk away
from the deal.
Yahoo said in a statement Thursday that it
is confident of the companys value and that
it is still working toward integrating with
Verizon. The deal was expected to close by
the end of March 2017.
The security issue could worsen Yahoos
problems: Users were already declining, and
so was revenue. Verizon had wanted Yahoos
popular sites to combine with AOLs advertising technology to help it build a digitalad company that could compete with industry behemoths Google and Facebook.
Verizon bought AOL in 2015.

A showdown in Lake
By Terry Bernal
Game of the Week
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Carlmont Scots have a chance to turn

the Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division
on its head in hosting San Mateo at Usher
Memorial Field Friday at 7 p.m.
The Bearcats opened their league schedule
with consecutive wins over two of the
toughest opponents the Lake Division has
to offer in Jefferson and Capuchino, the two
teams that went down to the wire contending
for the division title last season. Cap ultimately secured the title with the heads-up
victory. The Scots with wins over El
Camino and Mills now stand as the only
other 2-0 team in Lake play.
Both teams being undefeated, obviously
it looks like [this game is for the title], San
Mateo head coach Jeff Scheller said. The
Lake is competitive because you almost
cant lose a game.
The only thing standing in the way of San
Mateo running away with the division crown
is Carlmont. The Scots still have matchups
with Jefferson and Cap to follow. So a win
Friday over San Mateo is the only viable
recipe for turning the Lake into a two- or
three-team race. It would also put first-year
head coach Jake Messinas squad in the drivers seat.
The tall task Carlmont faces is in stopping San Mateos runaway freight train fullback Anderson Perdomo. Listing at 5-7, 250
pounds, the senior is built to wear down
opposing defenses and allow the Bearcats to
counter with junior halfback Boris Mazin.
And with Perdomo tipping more towards the
270-pound range of the scale, according to
Messina, he is as close to an unstoppable
force the Lake Division has to offer this season.
Directly on defense, you need to get him
stopped before hes started, Messina said.
When you have a back whos 270 pounds
its tough to stop him when he has time and
squares his shoulders.
Messina also recognized the need for his
offense to manage the clock. That was an
underlying issue in Carlmonts 44-41 win

Raiders CB Smith
downplays game
against ex-team
By Josh Dubow
Phil Mickelson , playing a domestic PGA

Tour event in the fall for the first time in a
decade, overcame a bogey-bogey start to post
a 69, along with playing partner and defending champion Emiliano Grillo. Bill Haas was
added to that group when Tiger Woods withdrew and showed no vulnerability in his game
by posting a 66, the best score of the afternoon.
I got off to a slow start. I wasnt as focused
as I need to be, Mickelson said. But I put
myself in a position where tomorrow if I can
get hot on the greens get perfect greens in
the morning get it going, shoot 6-, 7-, 8under par and get right back in it for the weekend.
ALAMEDA For Oakland Raiders cornerback Sean Smith, a matchup against his former team is just business and not anything
personal even if the Kansas City Chiefs didnt
make enough of an effort to keep him this offseason.
Its a division game, an
AFC game, so it has some
importance to it, but
theres nothing else special for me, Smith said.
Smith has gone through
this dance before when he
faced his original team,
Miami, in his second seaSean Smith
son with the Chiefs in
2014. Smith said he
looks forward to checking in on some old
friends before the game but is not looking to
settle any old grudges.
As much as Smith may try to downplay the
significance of Sundays game in Oakland,
his defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr.
knows that emotions will play a role because
he has been through this situation as a player
before.

Curses, schmurses: Chicago-area kids confident in Cubs

By Don Babwin
People are a little paranoid (because) it hasnt happened, but it

might be a coincidence that they havent won in a while.
CHICAGO Kaitlin Reap didnt listen

when her dad tried to warn her about the lifetime of misery waiting for her if she cheered
for the Chicago Cubs. She rejected his invitation to share with him the joys of being a St.
Louis Cardinals fan. And all his talk about curses simply guaranteed him a daughter who
wants nothing to do with goats.
I want to be a Cubs fan, said Kaitlin, a 9year-old third grader at Saint Andrew School,
less than a mile from Wrigley Field. I think
theyre going to win.
Cubs fans everywhere are hoping for a World
Series champion for the first time since 1908,
and they have a loaded team this time, one that
piled up the most wins in the majors this season. But there is also fear the kind of fear
that is handed down from generation to generation in Chicago, the kind that comes from
heartbreak after heartbreak, the kind that is fed
by billy goat curses (1945), black cats (1969)
and infamous plays (looking at you, Steve
Bartman ).
Cubs fans know this feeling as well as they
know their way to the friendly confines.
Theyve grown up with it.
Except, that is, for the fans who havent finished growing up.
Max Oldham, 11-year-old Chicago sixth grader
For Kaitlin and her schoolmates, there is

optimism that the Cubs will win it all this year
and, if not, they will certainly end the long
championship drought by the time they leave
Saint Andrew. At nearby Hawthorne Scholastic
Academy, the only fear is that the principal
wont let them out of class to watch the parade
they know is coming.
The way these kids see it, all those older fans
are being a little silly.
People are a little paranoid (because) it hasnt happened, but it might be a coincidence
that they havent won in a while, said Max
Oldham, an 11-year-old sixth grader at Saint
Andrew.
All that talk about paranoia, not to mention
referring to 108 years as a while, might have
something to do with parents who have protected their children from what they know and
what they have witnessed for themselves.
We have not told him about Bartman, said
Cy Oldham, who saw what unfolded from the
left field bleachers after she and her husband
decided to postpone their honeymoon so they
could attend the playoffs. We try not to dwell
on that time (and) it is not something we want
to sit down and say, so, Let me tell you how

bad things used to be.
Addison Casavechia could not help knowing
about those times, not with a first name that
her parents chose because they liked the way it
sounded and because Wrigley Field is on
Addison Street. That might explain why the
11-year-old sixth grader doesnt think the
Cubs will win it all this year.
I have my bets for next year because well
have Kyle Schwarber back, she said of the
player who suffered a season-ending knee
injury early this season.
Her mother, the assistant principal at Saint
Andrew, doesnt want to see her daughter suffer.
But Sarah Casavechia also sees rooting for the
Cubs as part of growing up in Chicago.
I think being a Cubs fan is like taking a
leap of faith every year, its like falling in
love, she said. You know theres a chance
youre going to get your heart broken, but you
do it anyway.
Thats not to say the kids havent taken
steps they hope might prevent the kind of misery that their parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents experienced in seasons past.
Bennett Patterson, a 12-year-old seventh

grader at Hawthorne, makes sure to watch Cubs
games accompanied by one of the white flags
with the blue W on it, the kind the Cubs have
been flying for years after a win and now wave
from houses and car antennas all over the city.
These being the playoffs, Patterson knows
he has to take things a step further: I wear a W
flag as a cape to watch the game.
Danny Weber doesnt know exactly what he
will wear for every game, but it will be blue and
will have the Cubs logo on it. But he knows
what he will be eating every night for dinner:
rice and vegetables. It seems that growing up
in the Weber family means enjoying rice and
vegetables whenever the Cubs make the playoffs.
My grandma did it, my dad has done it and
now they are telling me to do it, he said.
Weber sees it as a small price to pay, and dismisses any suggestion that the strategy hasnt
worked in more than a century.
It did work last year because last year they
(the Cubs) got half way, he said.
As for Kaitlin, she doesnt believe her team
is cursed. Still, she had something to say after
her dad told her about Billy Sianis, who put a
curse on the Cubs after the team wouldnt let
his goat attend the 1945 World Series.
I am a little mad at that goat, she said.
Kershaw gets save, L.A. tops Nats 4-3 to win NLDS

Dodgers 4, Nationals 3
By Howard Fendrich
WASHINGTON A little past midnight in

Game 5 of the NL Division Series, Clayton
Kershaw emerged from the bullpen to pitch in
relief for the first time in seven years.
Two outs later, the only save of his major
league career in the books, Kershaws arms
were raised and teammates were rushing to
celebrate with a guy whose postseason performances have never carried the luster of his
regular-season success.
Coming in with two runners on base and
the outcome in the balance, Kershaw got
Daniel Murphy to pop out, then struck out
Wilmer Difo to end it, finishing the Los
Angeles Dodgers 4-3 victory over the
Washington Nationals to win their NL
Division Series in game that ended in the wee

hours of Friday.
The Dodgers won the last two games of the
best-of-five NLDS and now head to the NL
Championship Series to face the Chicago
Cubs. That opens at Wrigley Field on
Saturday night.
The Nationals, meanwhile, still have never
won a postseason series.
Kershaw worked two days after throwing
110 pitches over 6 2/3 innings in Game 4,
when he had the benefit of only three days
rest following his win in Game 1 against the
Nationals.
Several hours before Thursdays game
began, Dodgers first-year manager Dave
Roberts was asked whether Kershaw might be

Kenley Jansen threw a career-high 51 pitches
while getting a career-high seven outs after
entering in the seventh. Jansen walked Bryce
Harper and Jayson Werth with one out in the
ninth and thats when Roberts went to
Kershaw.
Kershaw wound up with his second pro
save. His other one came in 2006, the Gulf
Coast League.
LAs scoring all came in a four-run seventh
off six Nationals pitchers, including Joc
Pedersons homer off Max Scherzer and Justin

Turners two-run triple off Shawn Kelley.
Washington was leading 1-0 in the sixth,
when Werth walked and Ryan Zimmerman
smacked a two-out double to left. But thirdbase coach Bob Henley whose propensity
for waving runners home led to a popular Tshirt among Nationals players that says,
Send em short, send em tall, send em one,
send em all sent Werth and saw him get
thrown out easily on shortstop Corey
Seagers relay.
Wasnt even close.
And in the sort of blink-and-you-missed-it
game-shifting sequence, Werths inning-ending, overzealous bid to score was followed
immediately by Pedersons homer on
Scherzers first and, it turned out, only
pitch of the seventh.

Rex Ryan looks to stop 49ers WR Kerley

SANTA CLARA Bills coach Rex Ryan

wanted to add Jeremy Kerley in free agency last
spring because of his versatility.
Kerley, the 49ers leading receiver, played
for Ryan from 2011 to 2014 with the New York
Jets, working in the slot, returning punts and
even taking snaps behind center.
I used him a lot in the wildcat. Shoot, he
threw the ball as good as our quarterbacks did,
Ryan said.
Kerley said he developed a good relationship
with Ryan during his time in New York. But he
declined a chance to reunite in Buffalo because
the Detroit Lions offered a better opportunity.
Still, Kerley enjoyed his chances at playing
quarterback for Ryan. He completed two of his
four passes for 83 yards.
I always looked at myself like I was the
third quarterback in New York, Kerley said. I
know how to spin that

thing still.
Ryan struggled to find a
franchise quarterback in
New York after Mark
Sanchez led the team to
consecutive AFC championship games following
the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Rex Ryan
The 49ers are dealing
with inconsistencies at quarterback this season as they are switching from Blaine Gabbert
to Colin Kaepernick.
Kerley will be catching passes from
Kaepernick after getting off to one of the best
starts of his six-year career working with
Gabbert.
Kerley leads the 49ers with 26 receptions for
304 yards and two touchdowns.
The 49ers (1-4) are mired in a four-game los-
ing streak with the NFLs

31st-ranked offense.
San Francisco added
Kerley in a trade with the
Lions late in the preseason for offensive lineman
Brandon Thomas after losing slot receiver Bruce
Ellington to a hamstring
Jeremy Kerley injury.
Kerley doesnt see any
problem making the transition to Kaepernick
and his throws. Receivers in the past have
dealt with dislocated fingers and hand injuries
while getting used to Kaepernicks passes.
I have country hands, Kerley said. I
(have) broke every finger. So if Kap breaks
one, hopefully hell break it back in place the
right way. I aint worried about it.

Trump criticizes softer
NFL rules on concussions
LAKELAND, Fla. Donald Trump criticized softer NFL rules regarding concussions during a campaign stop.
The Republican presidential nominee was
struck by the toughness of a woman who
fainted Wednesday and then returned to the
audience, according to multiple media
reports.
The woman was out cold and now shes
coming back, Trump told the crowd. See?
We dont go by these new and very much
keep blockers off-balance.

Its been a difficult change for Clowney
because playing end in a 4-3 scheme in college is vastly different than playing on the
line in the NFL in Romeo Crennels 3-4
defense. At South Carolina, the 6-foot-5,
263-pound Clowney was bigger than almost
anyone he had to block. But hes a bit undersized to play defensive end in the NFL, and
when he lines up at tackle he faces offensive
lineman that routinely weigh 60-70 pounds
more than he does. This week he could have to
block Colts right guard Denzelle Good, who
at 355 pounds outweighs him by almost 100
pounds.
But OBrien said Clowney makes up for his
lack of weight in other ways.
You can define size in a lot of different
ways. Does he play big? He plays with a lot
of explosiveness, OBrien said. Hes a very
tough player. He plays with good leverage a
lot of the time in certain situations. So look,
does he weigh as much as some of the guys
that he goes against in there? No. That could
be said for a lot of different guys (but) I think
hes playing at a high level.

Smith left Kansas City to join the Raiders
this offseason when he signed a four-year
deal worth $38 million with $15 million
fully guaranteed. His transition to Oakland
hasnt been particularly smooth. He was
pulled from the season opener after allowing a 98-yard touchdown catch to Brandin

had to make some adjustments, some tweaks
here and there. It was nothing serious, nothing that couldnt be fixed. Like I said, were on

Smith also has two interceptions in that
span, matching his high for a season as his
work on improving his hands has paid dividends already this season for the Raiders.
Now he will get to match up against players

over Mills last week. While Scots junior tailback Demarii
Blanks rushed for a career-high 260 yards and four touchdowns on 16 carries no, Blanks was not mentioned in
this weeks Daily Journal Honor Roll; yes, this was an oversight his flair for being an explosive big play maker
averaging 16. 3 yards per carry had a downside in that
Carlmonts offense wasnt on the field very long.
In turn, the Scots defense had to play a lot of minutes.
Messina said his offense need strike a balance this week in
order to contend with San Mateo.
I would have preferred to grind it out and draw it out a little more but you cant tell a kid not to run for 80 yards,
Messina said.
Stopping the run game is something at which Messina and
Scheller each have plenty experience. The two were college
teammates in 1991, both playing defensive line at College
of San Mateo. It was a Bulldogs team that produced many a
future coach. Schellers head coaching predecessor with the
Bearcats, T.J. Ewing, played offensive line for that team,
along with current Serra defensive line coach Matt McGinn.
Schellers strategy for taking on Carlmonts wing-T
offense and the explosive junior fastback in Blanks is fairly
ABC.
Just tackle and wrap up and do your job on defense,
Scheller said. The one thing about stopping a back like
that is maybe we dont stop him but we slow him down.

100-yard receiving mark for the second
week in a row, catching five passes for 114
yards and two TDs. Capuchino saw its
two-game winning streak snapped last
week. The Mustangs have scored a total
of 14 points the last two weeks and are 11. They posted a 7-6 win over San Lorenzo
Valley two weeks ago.
St. Ignatius (1-2 WCAL, 3-3 overall)

at Serra (2-1, 2-4), 7 p.m.
The S.I. Wildcats were whacked by Mitty
last week, 37-21. The Padres pulled off a
stunner last week, beating rival St. Francis
41-40 in overtime. Serra buried S.I. last
season, 56-7. S.I. has alternated wins
and losses this season. The Wildcats are
averaging a little over 24 points overall
this season, but that number has dropped to
15 in WCAL play. This is Serras annual
Friday night game. After losing their
first four games to start the season, the
Padres have now won two in a row. Serra
quarterback Leki Nunn continues to put up
video-game numbers. He accounted for 375
yards of offense and five touchdowns last
week. Over the last three games, Nunn has
had a hand in 12 Serra touchdowns. Is it
any coincidence that Serras two-game winning streak has come since the return of
injured linebacker TC Lavulo?
We definitely respect all hes done and we just hope to slow

him down.
San Mateos key defender in this respect is senior defensive tackle George Qobti, who moved up front from the middle linebacker spot after the Bearcats Week 2 loss to
Aragon. He currently leads San Mateo in total tackles.
Hes a strong kid and he can take on an offensive lineman
or two and he can free up our linebackers, Scheller said.
Anchoring the middle linebacker spot, with Qobti converting to DT, is senior Nikos Maheras, who is 100 percent according to Scheller after missing his junior season
with a cracked vertebrae. Junior middle linebacker Chris
Lopez has also been critical in shoring up opponents run
games.
From sideline to sideline theyre pretty good guys,
Scheller said.
While Blanks has recorded two 200-plus rushing games
this season he also dashed for 225 yards on 17 carries
against Yerba Buena Sept. 9 Carlmont has been playing
at a disadvantage since losing its top offensive lineman,
senior tackle Ari Farantos, who is out for the year after
breaking his leg just prior to the season.
Senior Isaac Page, initially slated as a starting guard,
moved over to take Farantos spot. Now, he is the only senior the Scots feature on the line, along with two juniors and
two sophomores. Other than Farantos, Carlmont is as
healthy as it has been all season, according to Messina. And
the Scots are going to have to succeed top to bottom in all
three facets of the game in order to see success against San
Mateo, he said.
We have to try to win that way, Messina said. If we try
to go athlete to athlete were going to have problems.

Se Ri Pak ends Hall of Fame
career in front of home fans
INCHEON, South Korea Se Ri Pak ended
her Hall of Fame career Thursday in front of
her adoring home fans in the LPGA KEB
HanaBank Championship.
In tears on the final green at the end of the
sunny afternoon at Sky 72, Pak cried nearly
throughout a retirement ceremony on the
18th hole. The Little Angels childrens choir
sang, players wore SE RI hats and farewell
messages were played in a video montage.
It mattered little to the fans and players
many drawn to golf by Pak that she shot
an 8-over 80 and was tied for last in the 78player field before withdrawing as planned.
Hampered by left shoulder problems, the
39-year-old Pak said in Phoenix in March
that this season would be her last and she
stepped away after the first round of the

Mickelson and Casey have had the best calendar years without winning based on the
world ranking points they have earned.
Mickelson is playing his final tournament of
2016, while Casey plans to play the next two
in Asia before taking off the rest of the year.
Piercy, at least on paper, had one of his better years. He earned $2.9 million. He had a
chance to win a major at the U.S. Open until
Dustin Johnson pulled away at Oakmont, and
Johnson beat him by one shot at a World Golf
Championship.
But those runner-up finishes in big events
covered up an atrocious year with the putter.
Piercy was 156th in the most important putting statistic, which is what held him back
most of the year.
Its what carried him Thursday. He holed a
pair of 18-foot birdie putts on successive
holes early in his round, and kept pouring
them in, one after another, to offset a pair of
bogeys from the bunkers on the par-4 third
hole and the par-3 seventh late in his round.
I think I made more feet of putts than I did
all last season, he said. Ive been working
on the putter a lot and trying to get some
things figured out. Today was a good start to
the season, good start to get some confidence
going with the putter.

attempt.
That was among the few putts he missed.
Piercys 62 was at least nine shots better than
the course average.
Casey played in the group in front of Piercy
and did his best to keep pace. He made eight
birdies on a bogey-free day at Silverado. The
big change for Casey was a new driver as he

Giants CEO Larry Baer missed elimination for Yom Kippur

SAN FRANCISCO Larry Baer left the

ballpark in the sixth inning, and he remembers the exact moment because of the Kiss
Cam on the scoreboard. The Giants CEO
needed to get to Yom Kippur services at his
synagogue by sundown Tuesday night, and
San Francisco led the Cubs 5-2 at that point.
He listened on the radio as he drove 15
minutes from AT&T Park: scoreless seventh,
then scoreless eighth. Baer parked and
arrived for the Kol Nidre service at 8:15 p.m.
15 minutes early for a change then
eventually went inside and turned off his
phone.
The final score would have to wait for 90
minutes, yet Baer prepared for a flight first
thing Thursday back to Chicago for Game 5
fully confident his club would stave off postseason elimination once more. The Giants
had done so 10 times in a row, after all.

Chicago eliminated the Giants the next night.
The 27-year-old left-hander 15-9 with a 2.74
ERAthis season. Two years ago, his spectacular
postseason instantly put him right up with the
best ever in October. He tossed 270 innings,
including 21 with two wins and a save in a
World Series that went to Game 7 against the
Royals.
His value to the Giants, its sort of incalculable, CEO Larry Baer said, noting hes already
fielding questions about when the pitcher will
get a statue. Hes been a tremendous asset for
my phone off in terms

of me looking at it ... not
being checked, Baer told
The Associated Press on
Thursday. A big Giants
fan was sitting near me
and said as I was literally
walking to sit down, We
got out in the bottom of
the eighth. So, I took a
Larry Baer
deep breath and got into
services for an hour and a half.
With the Jewish High Holidays service
over, a man from a couple of rows back
approached and told him, Im sorry. Baer
initially thought someone had died. Then he
got it. The season was over, an even-year
failure for the first time this decade after
World Series championships in 2010, 12
and 14.
Thats how I found out, Baer said of the
6-5 loss in Game 4.
He skipped socializing after the service
and headed for his car, then sat in silence for

a while. Eventually, he called family members and then general manager Bobby Evans
to make sure he was sane.
I just sat in the car stunned, Baer said.
Stunned.
Baer has endured both the highs and lows
as a baseball executive and devoted Jew when
the postseason and High Holidays collide.
Two years ago when he readied to break the
fast following Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day
of Atonement, Baer endured a similar story
with a far sweeter ending.
This has a better outcome, Baer recalled.
The Giants were in Washington for the NL
Division Series and he stayed back in the
Bay Area to be in temple. His father was
being remembered, too, after Monroe Baer
Jr. died in March 2014 at age 91. That time,
Baer parked his car with the Giants trailing 10 late in the game. A stranger in the courtyard
whispered in his ear Man on first. Baer
went inside and the service was just begin-
ning when someone else tapped him on the

shoulder from behind with, Tie game.
Baer assumed Game 2 went to extra innings
but heard nothing when services ended, so
his gut told him maybe the Giants had lost. A
friend then urged him to get home, its the
bottom of the 13th.
Im like, Wow, so I went to a party, a
break-the-fast, Baer said of the celebration
two blocks from temple. Baer noticed there
were far fewer people around the food and the
host immediately sent him upstairs, where
rabbis and friends were gathered around a television watching the Giants in the 14th.
They stayed put through the 15th, 16th and
17th. In the 18th, Brandon Belt homered and
the Giants won 2-1.
And the place erupts, Baer said. That
was the perfect symmetry. ... So, were talking about complete bookends, both characterized by the holiday. Its incredible. Im
amazed. I thought Id be in temple Wednesday
and be flying at 7 a.m. Thursday to Chicago.
us. Hes done historic things.

The Giants like to keep their homegrown
players around well into the future.
In April, first baseman Brandon Belt received
a $79 million, six-year contract that takes him
through the 2021 season. Shortstop Brandon
Crawford signed a $75 million, six-year contract last November through the 2021 season.
I have spoken with Madisons agent about
what the timing would be, Evans said. Again,
this is a conversation Ive had with each of his
representatives that hes had this year. Timing
on that I cant speak to.
While the sting of falling short was still felt
by the brass two days later the Giants would
have played a Game 5 on Thursday back at
Wrigley Field a team that clinched the second
wild card on the seasons final day was credited
for sticking it out through a tough second half.
The group still hates to lose as much as they
like to win, and thats a powerful statement,
said Brian Sabean, executive vice president of
baseball operations.
Manager Bruce Bochy insists his health is

good and he is ready to get exploring out in the
mountains this offseason and prepare to win
another championship. He spent a night in a
Miami hospital in August but insists he is
strong and energized to improve at age 61.
Nobody is hurting more than this team and
myself that were not playing tonight with a
chance to move on, Bochy said. Im hungry
to get back to the World Series, win another
one. I couldnt feel better to be honest.
San Francisco is strongly considering promoting from within the organization to fill
spots in left field with Jarrett Parker or Mac
Williamson while Eduardo Nunez and Conor
Gillaspie are likely to play third. Nunez, whose
strained right hamstring limited him down the
stretch and in the playoffs, is someone Evans
likes on an everyday basis with his fire offensively and athletically and I think he did a really nice job defensively.
Its important to value our internal options,
Evans said, noting both third basemen are
both very strong options for us at third. Thats

most likely the direction well go.
Finding a closer will be a top priority, with
Evans saying he would explore every opportunity to make sure that no ninth inning goes
unstaffed.
Well find ways to improve our bullpen. We
have a good core there for years to come, he
said. An overhaul would be a tremendous overstatement.
No tes : Buster Posey is likely to play as regularly behind the plate despite down power
numbers this season, 14 homers and 80 RBIs.
... Third base coach Roberto Kelly and first base
coach Bill Hayes will not return to those duties.
Evans said it hasnt been determined whether
they will remain part of the organization in
reassigned roles. ... Evans said he has
exchanged messages with one NL West club
with a managerial opening either Arizona or
Colorado regarding bench coach Ron Wotus.
... San Francisco plans to offer a contract to
reliever George Kontos.

NBAPA is prioritizing
help for retired players
NBA players are pushing for

more money in the next collective
bargaining agreement for the
players who came before them.
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar
LeBron James, vice president of
the NBPAs executive committee,
told the Associated Press on
Thursday
the
union has made
getting aid for
retired players a
priority in their
talks with NBA
owners on a new
deal.
The NBA and
its players have
LeBron James agreed that the
next CBA will
include new league-funded programs to help retired players with
education and medical expenses,
four people with knowledge of the
situation told the AP. The people
spoke to the AP on condition of
anonymity because talks are ongoing.
In exchange for those programs,
and pending full approval from
both sides, the split of basketballrelated income would remain the
same 50-50 deal as it is in the
current agreement.
Deciding on how to divvy up the
revenue pie was the biggest obstacle that led to the ugly lockout five
years ago. But with that issue
essentially taken care of this time
around, negotiations have gone
much smoother as both sides look
to reach an agreement on a new
deal before the Dec. 15 deadline to
opt out.
For James, NBPA President
Chris Paul and the rest of the
union, taking care of those who are
no longer playing is a worthy
compromise for trying to recoup
any of the financial ground lost
during the 2011 labor dispute.
We got a group of guys that are
in there that know the negotiations, so any way to give back and
try to help our former teammates
and help former players and things
of that nature, James said.
Because weve all built this

league together. No matter how big
of a guy you were or if you were the
15th guy on the bench, we all built
this league into what it is today.
But its not just my idea. Im not
taking any credit for that. But its
all part of the process.
Mike Glenn, a 10-year NBA veteran and a member of the National
Basketball
Retired
Players
Associations board of directors,
said the CBA has dominated conversations among retirees for more
than a year.
Were very thankful to Chris
Paul, LeBron and others who have
provided the leadership to include
us in the negotiations, and have
the foresight to see that theyll be
us in a couple of years, said
Glenn, currently an Atlanta Hawks
analyst for Fox Sports Southeast.
There are so many guys with medical issues, who have had hip and
knee replacements. With the cost
of health care going up, it would be
the biggest thing thats happened
for retirees in 10 years.
That process will resume next
week when the league and the
union meet ahead of the NBA Board
of Governors meeting in New
York, which begins on Oct. 20.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver
and union head Michele Roberts
met in Spain earlier this month
when the league had a preseason
game there and they along with
other members of the negotiating
committee are preparing to
return to the bargaining table with
both sides in deal-making mode.
During the bitter negotiations of
2011 that resulted in the loss of 16
games for each team off of the
schedule, the players ultimately
accepted a decrease from 57 percent of basketball-related income
to a band between 49 and 51 percent depending on a variety of economic factors for each particular
season. After the league secured a
new $24 billion television contract, franchise values skyrocketed. There was talk of the players
opting out of the 10-year deal and
seeking givebacks from the owners.

Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize in literature

By Hillel Italie and Karl Ritter
NEW YORK Bob Dylan, Nobel

laureate. In the book worlds equivalent of a Supreme Court ruling, the
Nobel judges declared Thursday that
Dylan is not just a rock star but a poet
of the very highest order.
Dylan, 75, becomes the first musician in the 115-year history of the
Nobel to win the prize in literature.
He was honored for having created
new poetic expressions within the
great American song tradition.
It is the ultimate ascension for the
man who set off a lasting debate over
whether lyrics, especially rock
lyrics, can be regarded as art. Dylan,
who gave the world Like a Rolling
Stone, Blowin in the Wind and
dozens of other standards, now finds
himself on a list that includes Samuel

Beckett, Toni Morrison and T. S.
Eliot, whom Dylan referred to in his
epic song Desolation Row.
Congratulations to one of my
favorite poets, Bob Dylan, on a welldeserved Nobel, tweeted President
Barack Obama, who in 2012 presented the singer-songwriter with a
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dylan rarely gives interviews, and
a representative said the star had no
immediate comment. He is on tour
and was scheduled to play in Las
Vegas on Thursday night.
The startling announcement out of
Stockholm was met with both euphoria and dismay.
Many fans already quote Dylan as if
he were Shakespeare, there are entire
college courses and scholarly volumes devoted to his songs, and
judges work Dylan quotations into

their legal opinions all the time,
such as The times they are a-changing and You dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind
blows.
With this years Nobel announcement, many people, especially
Americans, werent scratching their
heads and asking Who?! the way
they did after hearing the names of
such winners as Patrick Modiano and
J.M.G. Le Clizio.
Others, though, lamented a lost
moment for books.
An ill-conceived nostalgia award
wrenched from the rancid prostates of
senile, gibbering hippies, wrote
Trainspotting novelist Irvine
Welsh. I totally get the Nobel committee, tweeted author Gary
Shteyngart.

Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday, a stunning announcement that for the
first time bestowed the prestigious award on a musician.
SURVEY
Core curriculum.
Support for the reforms Common Core includes is
overwhelmingly high, particularly when not specifically tied to the Common Core brand, according to the
study results.
Common Core standards were adopted throughout the
state in 2010 as a means of updating the math and
English language curriculum to better address the requirements of a competitive and modern education environment.
The lessons focus more on problem solving and collaboration to build critical thinking and analytical
skills, in response to the previous system which critics
claimed overly emphasized outcomes and results.
Lempert though claimed much of the criticism is misplaced, as evidenced by the support for the essential
components of the new curriculum.
The poll is the second of its kind released in as many
years by Children Now showing strong support for
Common Core among most voters.
After years of implementation and a new Smarter
Balanced testing system based on the new standards
showing improved academic achievement, Lempert said
he expected some of the animosity toward Common Core
will dissolve in coming years.
There is strong support and hopefully we will move
forward and not have to worry about there being significant pushback, he said.
Lempert largely disregarded opponents who cite political narratives as the basis of their Common Core criticism, but acknowledged more work must be done by education officials to spread awareness about the benefits of
the new standards.
We have to make sure parents have the information to
address the confusion that is out there, he said. Parents
should understand why the standards are updated and what
they are.
He added support for the Common Core jumped among
those who are most familiar with the finer details of the
new educational standards.
While non-parents show higher levels of support for
Common Core than the parent community overall, we
find that those parents who received and understood the
score report are the most supportive of Common Core,
according to the report.
Beyond the feedback from poll participants regarding
the public perceptions of Common Core, Lempert said he
found it especially interesting so many Latino and black
voters expressed support for the new standards.
Poll results show 75 percent of Latino voters who participated favored Common Core and support ticked up to
80 percent among black voters.
Lower income families, they see these standards are
ensuring that what is being taught will really help prepare their kids for college and careers, he said.
Considering the generally positive feedback shown in
the poll, Lempert said he believed the public perception
will continue to be supportive going forward and the
divisive political narratives will ultimately fall away.
I think we are moving past it, he said, of the criticism of Common Core. Folks need standards in school
and they need to be updated.

FALL EXHIBITS AT THE PENINSULA

MUS EUM
OF
ART
IN
BURLINGAME. The Peninsula Museum
of Art invites the public to enjoy two new
Fall Exhibits plus a Live Artist
Demonstration. Invented Spaces springs
from the imagination of artist Frances
McCormack, who wonders on canvas what
life pops up and thrives in contained outdoor spaces. Her images unfold in a drama of
botanical growth, landscape design and
architectural elements, resulting in her own
version of Paradise, a concept that originally meant walled garden and serves as her
traveling muse.
McCormack said: I have sought out these
spaces or walled gardens in Rome at the
Villa dEste and Villa Lante, at the Alhambra
in Spain, the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, in
Mexico at the houses of the architect Luis
Barragan, or in Santa Barbara at Ganna
Walskas LotusLand. These places provide a
container where the urgency and noise of
everyday obligations fall away and the visitor has access to other dimensions of
thought and feeling. My hope is that my
paintings can function in a similar way.
McCormack, who was born in Boston and
received her MFA from the University of
California at Berkeley, is an Associate
Professor at the San Francisco Art Institute.
She has been the recipient of the first SFAI
faculty residency at the American Academy
in Rome, three Buck Foundation individual
artists grants, a Djerassi residency and a
Willapa Bay AiR residency.
Also are view at PMA is Northern
California Impressionism, a collection of
landscapes by 19 nationally known Bay
Area artists. Organized around the theme
Field to Studio, the paintings celebrate
the diversity found in Northern Californias
terrain: the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma,
the Sierra Mountains and Foothills, the
Gold Country, Peninsula estuaries and vistas of the Pacific Coast. Building upon the
California Impressionism movement of
early 20th century artists whose work was
created outdoors in natural light, en plein
air, this group represents a second generation seeking to capture a locations color,
atmosphere and feelings rather than its specific physicality. The artist may choose to
create a piece in the field, or expound upon
and reimagine it in the studio, creating a
novel work of natural wonder. Participants
include Simon Addyman, Bill Cone, Kevin
Courter, Tim Horn, Ellen Howard, Paul
Kratter, Jeanette LeGrue, Richard Lindberg,
Kim Lordier, Will Maller, Wayne McKenzie,
Jim McVickers, Clark Mitchell, Terri Mura,

THE PENINSULA MUSEUM OF ART
Above and Below by Frances McCormack is on display as part of her collection of works,
Invented Spaces, at the Peninsula Museum of Art in Burlingame.
IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS AND
DOCENTS. The Peninsula Museum of Art
is adding programs and features and expanding its corps of docents and volunteers. All
docents are volunteers, but not all volunteers are docents. The docents preside over
the museum lobby, greet visitors, answer
questions about the exhibitions and
everything else, it seems and lead tours
of the exhibitions (by prior arrangement).
The docents meet during the week before the
opening of a new exhibition for a training
session, usually with the artist and/or curator present to provide detailed information
and answer questions. Volunteers bring a
variety of much-needed skills and knowledge to the museum, including expertise in
gallery lighting, event scheduling, recordkeeping, conservation, library cataloguing, public relations, social media, graphic
design, website updating, equipment maintenance, marketing and fundraising the
list is (or at least seems) endless. All of the
volunteers are vital to the museums growth

Gourmet ganja? Marijuana dining is growing up

By Kristen Wyatt
LYONS, Colo. How to set a tone of

woodsy chic at a four-course candlelight dinner served under the stars in the Colorado
foothills:
Live musicians and flowers, check.
Award-winning cuisine, check.
Beer and wine pairings with each course,
check.
Marijuana pairings? Oh, yes.
The 100 diners at this $200-a-plate dinner
smoked a citrus-smelling marijuana strain to
go with a fall salad with apples, dates and
bacon, followed by a darker, sweeter strain of
pot to accompany a main course of slowroasted pork shoulder in a mole sauce with
charred root vegetables and rice.
And with dessert? Marijuana-infused
chocolate, of course, grated over salted
caramel ice cream and paired with coffee
infused with non-intoxicating hemp oil.
The diners received small glass pieces and
lighters to smoke the pairings, or they could
have their marijuana rolled into joints by
professional rollers set up next to a bartender
pouring wine.
Welcome to fine dining in Weed Country.
The marijuana industry is trying to move
away from its pizza-and-Doritos roots as
folks explore how to safely serve marijuana
and food. Chefs are working with marijuana
growers to chart the still-very-unscientific
world of pairing food and weed. And a proliferation of mass-market cheap pot is driving
professional growers to develop distinctive
flavors and aromas to distinguish themselves in a crowded market.
We talk with the (marijuana) grower to
understand what traits they saw in the marijuana ... whether its earthy notes, citrus
notes, herbal notes, things that we could

California and Maine would allow some

Currently, Alaska is the only legal weed

rules for how those consumption areas would

For now, marijuana dining is limited to
folks who hire private chefs to craft infused
foods for meals served in their homes, or to
special events like this one, limited to adults

Guests at the Colorado dinner were admittedly experimenting with pairing weed and

bites. It became apparent late in the evening
that a rich meal doesnt counteract marijuanas effects.

him and his brother like soldiers, training
them with specialists. Its a quirky method
of parenting sure to spawn a best-seller:
less homework, more pentjak silat (the

Indonesian fighting style).
The origin story complete with a
bizarre but formative stint in prison with a
cameo from Jeffrey Tambor plays like a
superheros. Many of the characters, too,
feel straight out of a comic book: J.K.
Simmons Treasury Department investigator, Jon Bernthals over-inflated enforcer,
Anna Kendricks accounting clerk, the
movies lone smiler.
Afflecks hulking, number-crunching CPA
is no less severe than his Batman. The actor
plays him deliberately flat, with an unrelentingly even voice and a dispassionate,
anti-social blankness. As was the case in
Batman v Superman, hes better than the
overcooked soup hes swimming in.
There are legitimate objections to be
raised about a film like The Accountant

treating the autistic like savants. But there
are genuine gestures here about accepting
the gifts of people with autism, and its
worth noting how unusual such territory is
for a Hollywood thriller something
OConnor (Warrior, Pride and Glory)
knows how to firmly construct.
The Accountant is, if nothing else, singular in lending an action-movie cliche an
absurdly peculiar and elaborate backstory.
I like incongruity, Wolff says in one
scene. The Accountant does, too, but
maybe a bit too much.
The Accountant, a Warner Bros. release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for strong violence and language throughout. Running time: 128
minutes. Two stars out of four.
Knowing Affleck made taking on the

Gordon role more comfortable, Simmons
said. Joining that universe and recreating an
iconic character that some wonderful actors
have played before, so it was an intimidating
enough process, he said. I was glad when I
got to the set that I wasnt meeting Ben for
the first time in addition to all the other pressures I was facing.
The characters they play in The
Accountant and Batman movies have some
similarities, too: Simmons is a law-enforcement guy and Affleck is gifted and elusive.
In The Accountant, Affleck plays
Christian Wolff, an autistic math savant who
handles finances for criminal enterprises like
drug cartels and the Mafia. Simmons is the
federal agent investigating him.

We start from there, but nothing is as it
seems, Affleck said. The relationship
reveals itself as something different in the
course of the movie.
Affleck visited schools and spent time
with autistic people across the spectrum to
develop his character, one he found challenging, interesting and fun.
I liked this guy a lot. I liked this character.
I liked how contrary he was and how complicated he was, so it was fun for me to think
about and try expressing myself Im very
verbal, you know, and that tends to be how I
express myself. Its not at all how this guy
expresses himself, Affleck said. Hes very
expressive, but in a lot of other ways. So that
was really fun to try to explore.

The character is a hero in his own way, and
he has a complicated relationship with
Simmons character, not unlike Batman and
Commissioner Gordon.
Well, its similar and its different, without giving away too much, Affleck said.
One of the things thats interesting about
Gordon and Batman as Bruce Wayne is they
are approaching the same problem from
opposite sides of the fence and they have a
unique affinity and empathy and appreciation
for one another. Although they do the same
thing in almost diametrically opposed ways,
they have a symbiotic relationship and I
think, over the years, a genuine friendship.

STORY
their own.
I really like this project, said
McAfee. Some of the stories, just reading them you can feel how they felt and
it is really inspiring.
Eliciting responses similar to
McAfees is part of Brandon Domans
vision when he began collecting stories from willing strangers roughly
seven years ago at a Michigan coffee
shop.
I wanted to create a space for stories,
because that helps us see the world
through each others eyes, he said.
Doman has collected more than
25,000 stories during various travels
across the United States, and stopped
briefly in San Carlos to share and
receive more on the last leg of his most
recent trip spanning 25 towns and
cities in 15 states between New York
City and San Francisco.
The stories are presented in a stark
fashion handwritten in ink on plain
white paper clipped by laundry pins
hanging in rows from twine and the
audience is free to peruse and read as
they wish.
San Carlos students casually browsed
through the collection of stories curated
by Doman and his crew to be appropriate for elementary schoolers in the
library before trying their hand at writing their own submission for the collection. In all, Doman estimated he collected roughly 500 stories during his
stop in San Carlos.
McAfee shared his fond memories of a
trip to Brazil, while others struggled to
find inspiration, which Doman said is a
MAYA
high degree of danger and unpredictable nature of live performance.
I know what I need to do and I can
have more fun, she said.
Adding to her enjoyment is being
able to perform alongside Marta and
Devin Henderson as well as Dominic
Cruz, three cast members who
Kesselman made friends with years ago
while a student at the San Francisco
Circus Center.
The show, slated to be performed
under a tent set up near AT&T Park in
San Francisco from November through
January, serves as the most recent
highlight in a professional circus
career which has been the dream of
Kesselman since her mom signed her
up for her first trapeze lesson at 10.
Since the day I started, it was what I
wanted to do, Kesselman said.
As an athlete who also appreciated

many who wish to
participate.
Those who are
able to overcome
the initial bout of
anxiety prior to
writing often feel a
sense of catharsis
through taking a
Brandon
few moments to
Doman
think deeply and
write down a story by hand, said
Doman.
Its empowering for people, because
every story is worth sharing, he said.
Over the years of sharing and collecting various stories, Doman said he has
encountered some potentially troubling
scenarios requiring sensitive treatment
and care. He said he has received rounds
of mental health training to adequately
prepare for dealing with those who
could pose a threat to themselves or
others.
Ultimately though Doman said he
believes the process of sharing stories
is preferable to the alternative.
Its good they have somewhere to
put that other than their own head, he
said.
Lexi Romanowski, a seventh-grader
at the school, said she appreciated the
opportunity to check out, and participate in, the creative endeavor.
I think its a cool project, she said.
I like how people can share their story
by being anonymous. I could feel the
emotion in how they are feeling, she
said.
Alex Nickerson, an eighth-grader,
echoed a similar sentiment and said he
enjoyed reading stories which he may
otherwise not be able to access.
You get to read other peoples stories and feel a sense of connection, he
said.
Stacy Emory, director of the school,
said breeding such a sense of empathy
was a prime objective of bringing The
Strangers Project to the school.
Its great for the kids, she said.
They live a fairly sheltered life and we
were looking for ways to connect them
with communities they may not be
exposed to.
Emory invited the project to the
school after two teachers encountered
the exhibition while on vacation in
New York. She said the focus of the
project also aligned with curriculum at
the school focusing on storytelling and
writing.
They have been a little bit in awe,
she said, as various classes cycled
through the library over the day and
participated in the project.
Once the final school bell rang, parents and members of the San Carlos
community were invited during the
evening hours to take in the work as
well.
Doman, who is accustomed to running the project by himself, brought a
film crew with him to document his tour
and capture moments from the national
tour slated to wrap up this weekend at
the Ferry Terminal.
He said once the final story is taken
down in San Francisco, he will return to
the East Coast where the film will go
into post-production and he will examine next steps for The Strangers
Project.
Though he is uncertain the way the
project will be pursued in the future,
Doman said he is confident the spirit
will live on in perpetuity.
It will always exist, because there
are always more stories out there, he
said.
performing before large crowds,

Kesselman said the circus offers her
the opportunity to enjoy her favorite
part of both endeavors.
I liked that I could have the performance aspect without the competition, but I could share the stage with
others who were like my teammates,
she said.
As she has reached the proverbial
big leagues in her craft, Kesselman
said she still finds great joy in the
unique exposure granted by her career.
At a normal job, no one is on their
feet applauding you. At my job, they
do that and it is really rewarding. You
have given happiness to people and
you can see it in their faces, she said.
Compounding the enjoyment she
draws from performance is the ability
of Cirque du Soleil cast members to
collaborate in developing their roles,
she said.
Her first seven months on the job
were spent working with other elite
professionals in creating the vision of
her performance and tweaking ways to
make it work best for the big stage.
We kind of had to figure out to our

best capacity what we could do, she
said. There is a vision for the whole
show, but it is a very organic process.
It is an evolution as well, she said,
as cast members are granted the ability
to continuously change and improve
on their role throughout the life of a
show.
She said being a part of a performance which she feels is in some way a
reflection of her input and character
makes it even more rewarding.
Ive put so much into this show and
I was allowed to, she said. People
listened to me and that is really nice to
be able to perform a show that Ive put
myself into.
With the shows debut locally
approaching rapidly, Kesselman said
she is ready to bring her talents back
to the place where her passion was
born.
Im so excited to go home and perform, she said.
Luzia opens Thursday, Nov. 17, at
AT&T Park in San Francisco.

STINK
throughout the city isnt hazardously discharged into the Bay. Eliminating these
overflows with which San Mateo has historically struggled is also mandated by
the state.
Officials were considering five sites
which initially included the Bay Meadows
and Fiesta Meadows parks. Residents in the
citys newest neighborhood opposed it and
found a legal restriction that led officials to
remove Bay Meadows from the list. Now,
residents in the Fiesta Gardens neighborhood have coalesced in opposition and plan
to show up nearly 100 strong clad in green
shirts at the next City Council meeting.
But the alternatives which include a
nearly 6, 300-foot-long tunnel under
Delaware Street and below sites slated for
redevelopment also have drawbacks
ranging from increased cost to requiring
easements, according to the city.
After working with the council, both staff
and engineers decided underground tanks
were the quickest way for the city to
increase capacity and avoid discharging
untreated sewage into the Bay for which
the state issued a 2009 cease and desist
order.
This project is necessary to replace
aging infrastructure, said Senior Engineer
Cathi Zammit, manager of the Clean Water
Program. Its necessary to protect public
health and the environment. And to meet
PROTEST
Redwood City has seen unprecedented
growth since the City Council approved the
Downtown Precise Plan in 2011. The plan
rezoned downtown to allow for large office
and residential projects.
Many, however, were under the assumption it would take up to 20 years before the
plan met its cap on new offices and homes.
But the cap has been nearly reached just five
years into the plans adoption.
This has led to additional traffic and the
displacement of long-term residents who
cannot compete for housing as new highpaid tech workers and other professionals
look to live closer to where they work.
There are more projects in the pipeline
too that will add pressure to increase affordable housing construction in the city, said
Lee Callister, who will be a featured speaker
at Saturdays march that starts 11 a.m. at
City Hall.
regulatory requirements.
On Thursday, the Public Works
Commission was met by nearly 200 residents as officials reviewed the project status
and five sites under consideration.
Nobody wants a sewage tank in their
neighborhood, said Roland Bardony, a representative with the Fiesta Gardens
Homeowners Association.
The Fiesta Gardens and Bay Meadows
neighborhood parks are two city-owned
sites that were identified based on their geographic location and being potentially less
costly as the tanks would not need to support buildings. They would return to parkuse after construction, which could last
between 30 and 42 months, Zammit said.
Although Bay Meadows is off the table,
Fiesta Gardens representatives are urging
city officials to look elsewhere. Residents
have spoken at various public and community meetings, as well as emailed concerns,
with some calling the proposal catastrophic.
Their concern includes the potential for
the parks to be closed during a multi-year
construction period, concerns about smells,
environmental impacts during construction
and harm to property values.
It would take out the whole entire park,
they would have to close the entire site
down and we would not be able to use it for
four years, Bardony said, adding a nearby
school, two day care centers and hundreds of
soccer as well as rugby players use the field
nearly year round.
Zammit and Deputy Mayor David Lim said
theyre pleased the public is getting
The pace of development, he said, has
also increased traffic and put a strain on
parking, especially in neighborhoods adjacent to downtown, Callister said.
The help wanted signs in businesses
downtown reveal how difficult it is for
employers to find workers to fill low-wage
jobs, he said.
Callister will also highlight the citys
role in the pending dismantling of the
Docktown Marina, where he and 70 others
currently live.
The marina is slated to be removed starting in early 2018 unless a legislative solution is reached.
The houseboats at the marina are considered naturally affordable and residents who
live there now worry they wont be able to
continue living in Redwood City because of
high rents.
Docktown resident Tania Sol is also slated to speak at the protest. She ran for council last year with a campaign message that
the city should slow its growth.
Mayor John Seybert said Thursday that
the City Council has heard the communitys
involved. But they urged residents to make

sure they arent misinformed for
instance, much of the overflow will be made
up of stormwater and the underground tanks
would only temporarily capture it during
extreme storms and they would not be visible from the surface, they said.
While no decision has been made and at
least eight meetings will be held during
which community input is sought, there are
pros and cons to each of the proposed sites.
Eventually, the options will be narrowed
down to two, from which the council will
have the final say.
The proposals include undergrounding a
tank at Fiesta Meadows Park; the San Mateo
County Event Center parking lot; and the
Hillsdale Plaza, a smaller area near where
concerns and is taking significant steps

to address them.
A citywide transportation study has been
launched to address congestion, he said.
A scoping session on the study will be
held Monday, Oct. 17, he said.
The council will also conduct a joint study
session with the Housing and Human
Concerns Committee Monday, Oct. 24, to
discuss affordable housing, he said.
An initiative called Redwood City
Conversations based on the World Caf
method has also launched that will give the
community an opportunity to discuss the
issues, Seybert said.
These are incredible opportunities for
the community to shape policy in the
future, Seybert said.
Saturdays march will begin at City Hall
and travel up Jefferson Avenue to El Camino
Real, down Broadway to Middlefield Road
and then back to City Hall.
Folk musicians will join the march also,
Pardini said.
The protest comes as average rent for a
one-bedroom has reached $2,638, a 38.9
the current Caltrain station is located that

will likely be redeveloped and requires a second tank placed at the event center.
Most recently added was the citys
Corporation Yard along Pacific Boulevard,
which officials have considered redeveloping into housing. Another alternative is to
create a long tunnel running along Delaware
Street to accommodate a 12-foot-diameter
pipe nearly 50 feet below ground with facilities at either end.
Of all the proposals, the tunnel tank is
projected to be the most costly at $78.2
million. The Hillsdale Plaza and event center options are some of the cheaper locales,

protest and march.
Im glad they have the opportunity to do
that, Seybert said.
The march begins 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct.
15, City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road.
