After more than 17 years of service and
weathering tumultuous political storms,
Peter Grenell, general manager of the San
Mateo County Harbor District, unexpected-
ly announced his retirement.
Grenell, 75, informed the Board of
Commissioners Wednesday night he would
be leaving the district
effective Jan. 3, 2015.
Grenell, who also previ-
ously served as the exec-
utive director of the
California Coastal
Conservancy, said hes
considered retirement for
several years and with
the recent birth of his
rst grandchild, decided to focus on time
with his family.
I applaud him for his strength to be able
to come up and make that decision, Im sure
it wasnt an easy decision because he is
good at what he does, said Pietro
Parravano, president of the Board of
Commissioners. Ive seen him continue
his dedication toward the betterment of
coastal communities and the sustainability
of marine resources. I think the district is
in a better place because of what hes done.
Grenells announcement came just weeks
after his employment contract was extended
another two years and two months before a
pivotal election which has three incum-
bents running against six challengers.
Commissioners Jim Tucker and Wi l l
Holsinger said they believe Grenells retire-

Residents sue
city over Holly
Street changes
Parking, public noticing at issue, city
attorney says lawsuit no impediment
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Carlos City Councils approval of restriping
Holly Street into a multi-lane road with signicant restrict-
ed street parking violated environmental and open meeting
laws, according to two residents who led suit Wednesday in
a bid to stop the upcoming work.
But City Attorney Greg Rubens says the lawsuit, which
said includes misconceptions about the legal requirements
of the citys actions, is no impediment to the work.
Notices were expected to go out to residents and property
owners Thursday with work beginning Sept. 15 or 16, said
Public Works Director Jay Walter.
However, the lawsuit led by Rick Martinez and Alicia
Cabrera argues that the vote allowing the changes to Holly
Street is invalid because residents were not given enough

Developing an ordinance to deter unwanted exposure to
secondhand smoke has been a long and controversial
process for the Foster City Council and despite part of its

Some Burlingame residents are up in
arms about seven to 12 oak trees that
were signicantly trimmed down in the
Ray Park neighborhood.

Valdivia Way and Toledo Court on Aug.

Surgery on ailing Great
Dane yields 43 1/2 socks
PORTLAND, Ore. The 3-year-old
Great Dane was miserable and retching
when its owners rushed him to a north-
west Portland emergency animal hos-
pital.
It was something he ate!
X-rays showed a stomach full of a
large quantity of foreign material.
Nearly two hours of surgery later, Dr.
Ashley Magee had the answer the
dog had consumed 43 1/2 socks.
DoveLewis Emergency Animal
Hospital spokeswoman Shawna Harch
said its perhaps the strangest case in
the hospitals history, The Oregonian
reported.
So strange that the hospital entered
last Februarys tale, complete with X-
rays, in an annual contest sponsored
by the vet magazine, Veterinary
Practice News, and won a prize.
Fittingly enough, the contest is called
They Ate WHAT?
Even stranger. The $1,500 first
place winner was a Plano, Texas, ani-
mal hospital that treated an exotic
frog that ate more than 30 small orna-
mental rocks from its cage.
The DoveLewis entry summary says
the Great Dane was discharged home a
day after surgery. Harch says the own-
ers arent available for comment but
she conrms the dog is alive. No word
on what hes eaten lately.
Woman accused of
shoplifting $144 in eye shadow
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. An
Arkansas woman whose mug shot
shows her in heavy aqua and maroon
eye shadow is accused of shoplifting
$144 in makeup.
Police in Fayetteville, Arkansas,
arrested 31-year-old Brandy Allen,
accusing her of stufng handfuls of
eye shadow into her purse Monday.
Ofcers said that, after being con-
fronted, Allen went on a profanity-
laced tirade and tried to damage make-
up as she pulled it out of her purse so
the items would appear used.
The Washington County jail said
Wednesday that Allen was released on
$830 bond on charges of shoplifting
and disorderly conduct. Jailers did not
have a record of whether Allen had a
lawyer. Atelephone number could not
be found for the woman in
Fayetteville.
Oops: College exams
already had all the answers
VIENNA Students in Austria sit-
ting down to take university entrance
exams this week found themselves
with a guaranteed pass at least for a
minute or two. The answers were
already lled in.
The University of Salzburg says 144
would-be psychology students were
given wrong envelopes Tuesday.
Instead of the normal tests, they were
handed copies with answers meant for
the professors grading them.
The exams were quickly collected.
Paul Lengenfelder of the universitys
psychology department said Thursday
that the students will be re-tested next
month.
UMass starts semester
with giant clambake
AMHERST, Mass. The new
school year at the University of
Massachusetts has started with a
record-setting feast.
More than 3,000 traditional New
England clambake dinners were served
on the Amherst campus on Monday.
Chefs prepared more than 3,000
lobsters, 6,000 little neck clams,
3,000 steamers, more than 6,000 ears
of corn and 1,500 pounds of potatoes
for students and staff.
There was no previous record for
largest New England clambake, but
Guinness World Record ofcials had
set a minimum bar at 1,500 meals in
eight hours. UMass reached that mark
in about an hour.
Ken Toong, executive director of
auxiliary services, says most of the
food was locally sourced, and all
waste, including plates and atware,
will be composted.
The $70,000 cost of the clambake
was covered entirely by donations and
sponsorships.

Caltrain to purchase
additional rail cars
Caltrain announced plans to purchase 16
surplus Metrolink rail cars for $15 million at
Thursdays Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board, according to the transit agency.
The Bombardier Bi-Level Generation 2 rail
cars will be purchased from Southern
California Regional Rail Authority, which
operates the Metrolink service. While these
cars are similar to the Bombardier vehicles
Caltrain uses, they have been phased out of
use on the Metrolink system. The rail cars
will require substantial rehabilitation and
placing the cars into service could take up to
a year, according to the transit agency.
The additional cars are intended to provide
short-term capacity relief on peak-hour
trains, which frequently experience standing-
room-only conditions. The majority of this
funding will be covered by a farebox revenue
bond and Caltrain will cover the remaining
funds by reinvesting surplus farebox revenue
into the rail car purchase, according to the
transit agency.
Trains are currently congured with ve
cars, which include two bike cars. Trains can
carry between 550 and 650 seated passengers.
The equipment will be used to expand a num-
ber of peak hour trains to six cars, according
to the transit agency.
Certain station platforms may be unable to
accommodate the longer train sets. Caltrain is
reviewing this issue and plans to make plat-
form improvements before putting the trains
into service, according to the transit agency.
VA employee sentenced to
six months jail for stealing gas
A U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
employee was sentenced Wednesday to six
months in jail in Redwood City for stealing
more than $4,000 worth of gas from the VA
over the past year, San Mateo County prose-
cutors said Thursday.
Matthew Johnson, 49, pleaded no contest
to embezzlement for using a work-issued gas
card to ll up his personal vehicle, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
He initially was caught taking $319 worth
of gas between Aug. 2 and Aug. 25, but further
investigation indicated that he had used work-
issued gas cards to ll up his own car more
than 100 times during the last year steal-
ing a total of $4,505.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge
Jonathan Karesh sentenced Johnson to six
months in jail and three years probation. He
also must pay the $4,505 in restitution to the
VA, prosecutors said.
Johnson remains free on $15,000 bail and
will face further proceedings in veterans
court, prosecutors said.

State Sen. Jerry
Hi l l , D- San
Mat eo, will
announce he is intro-
ducing ratepayer pro-
tection legislation
to ensure that the bulk of the $1.4 billion
ne against Paci c Gas and Electric for
the deadly 2010 San Bruno explosion is
spent on pipeline improvements and relat-
ed safety measures at a press conference
Friday.
State regulators announced the proposed
ne this week, just days before the fourth
anniversary of the disaster.
Under the ne, which was proposed by
two administrative judges hired by the
Cal i f orni a Publ i c Ut i l i t i es
Commi ssi on, only $400 million would
go for pipeline improvements, about $50
million would be allotted to enhance
pipeline safety and $950 million would go
to the state general fund. The $950 million
could be spent in other regions of the state,
but that allocation would come at the
expense of customers in PG&Es service
area, who already are expected to face $12
billion in rate hikes to pay for PG&Es
work to bring its pipeline system up to
modern standards, according to Hills
ofce.
Hills legislation would prevent cus-
tomers from bearing even more costs relat-
ed to pipeline modernization and safety
measures. The bill would also promote
continued focus on pipeline safety
improvements in two ways: The bill would
establish an independent monitor, who
would oversee PG&Es use of customers
money for safety upgrades, and it would
fund a pipeline safety trust for California

Crews contain large
fire in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco re
ofcials say crews have contained a large
blaze that damaged two buildings in the
citys Mission District.
Fireghters were able to get a handle on
the blaze about three hours after it began. At
least two reghters and two civilians have
been treated for smoke inhalation.
Mayor Ed Lee says he was grateful that
there were no serious injuries reported. A
second building was also damaged.
San Francisco Fire Department spokes-
woman Mindy Talmadge says more than 100
reghters were battling the blaze, which
started shortly after 1 p.m.
The re apparently began inside a retail
store in a two-story building and quickly
grew from two to ve alarms in an hour.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said re
inspectors came out to the store at least
twice since 2009 following customer com-
plaints of overcrowding.
No violations were issued.

homes and cost more than $125 million to
ght .
Forest Service ofcials have defended the
plan, saying it strikes a balance between
logging and wildlife, including the spotted
owl. Georgia Dempsey, a Stanislaus
National Forest spokeswoman, declined to
comment on the lawsuit.
Chad Hanson of the Earth Island
Institutes John Muir Project, one of the
plaintiffs, said forestry officials ignored
research that shows spotted owls which
are generally in decline have begun to
thrive in the dead snag forests that burned
and are now marked for logging.
Theyre so busy trying to generate rev-
enue for their budget from this logging,
Hanson said.
Spotted owls are not listed as threatened
or endangered, but their survival depends on
dead forests, which is the birds prime hunt-
ing habitat, Hanson said. The suit seeks to
stop logging on 40 percent of the designat-
ed area, leaving plenty for the timber indus-
try, he said. The owls need a buffer of about
1 mile between their nests or roosting sites
and logging operations.
Mike Albrecht, co-owner of the logging
rm Sierra Resources Management, said he
expected the lawsuit but was nonetheless
disappointed. He estimates the timber in the
designated area is valued between $5 mil-
lion and $8 million, and the logging could
generate up to 1,800 jobs for two years.
All we can hope is that we have a judge
that looks at this and sees that it is a well-
thought-out plan and had something for
everyone, he said.

her house were stumps.
Im just devastated, she said. There was
no notice about trees being cut down. I came
back and burst into tears. They were so
big and gorgeous; they were the reason I
bought the house. Its incompetence on
top of incompetence in the city of trees, and
then they (city ofcials) tell me the ordi-
nances arent clear. The bottom line is they
allowed 12 oak trees to be cut down.
Because of the issue, the city has con-
tracted with two independent arborists to
evaluate the condition of the trees and is in
the process of investigating the matter, said
Parks and Recreation Director Margaret
Glomstad. The arborists will conrm exact-
ly how many trees were affected, she said.
Once the evaluation of the trees and
investigation are completed, the city will
be assessing their options, Glomstad
wrote in an email.
The trees were not removed but topped,
over-thinned and improperly pruned beyond
acceptable International Society of
Arboriculture standards, said Bob Disco,
park supervisor and city arborist, in an
email. The investigators will look into if
any remedial work needs to be done to
improve the trees survival, he said.
The trees were very poorly cut, Mayor
Michael Brownrigg acknowledged.
I believe they were terribly, terribly
butchered, he said. Were still trying to
gure out where the boundaries are. For sure,
we will make sure this doesnt happen
again. If there is a weakness in the applica-
tion process, we absolutely will x that.
Rosalyn Yu, the neighbor who took out
the permit to have the trees thinned and
cleaned, moved into the house in 2013 and
said the underbrush, huge bushes and leaves
were a re hazard and she did want to help
with her view. She notes she also had pine
and eucalyptus trees trimmed. She contends
this is all on city-owned property, but the
city is still looking into if this was the
case, as some of the trees could have been in
a 10-foot easement behind Shaws home
that is her property.
I dont feel the trees were trimmed exces-
sively, she said. In the past, our neigh-
bors had done the same to the same type of
trees. Im very sorry that theyre upset and
if its changed their view. We have little
kids so we just wanted to clean it up basical-
l y. Im very sad this has become such an
issue. Its starting to feel very accusatory.
She notes the arborist did sign off on the
permit.
Conversely, Bill Sexton, who moved to
the neighborhood in 1949, said he wants
accountability and for this not to happen
again. He described the trimmed trees
behind his property as, naked, barren 20
foot stumps and a decimation.
We spent hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars to make our backyards exceptional, he
said. How it helps the people live on the
other side of the property was for a view.
Two San Francisco arborist says the trees
were more than 50 years old. These are
sacred. ... They (the neighbors who trimmed
the trees) never had a view.
He noted there were bird nests in the parts
of the trees that were cut. Birds are coming
back looking for their nests, he said. This
led 5-year-old Isabella, who lives in one of
the properties bordering where the trees
were cut to write a letter with hand-drawn
pictures to Brownrigg about her concern for
the birds.
Most of the birdies nests went down,
she said. I saw a bobcat scratching the
tree.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Browns
long-shot Republican challenger blasted
him for failing to do enough to land a
Tesla battery plant Thursday during the
only scheduled debate of this years gover-
nors race, a testy, hour-long exchange
that also featured clashes over teacher
tenure and the costs of combating climate
change.
The debate came the same day that Tesla
and Nevadas governor announced that the
California-born electric car maker would
build its factory near Reno. California was
one of five states trying to lure the plant
and its 6,500 manufacturing jobs.
GOP candidate Neel
Kashkari cited it as an
example of the Brown
administrations failure
to improve Californias
business climate, which
is routinely cited as
among the worst in the
nation.
Governor Brown has-
nt done the work,
Kashkari said.
Brown responded by saying that Tesla
wanted a huge cash payment up front that
would have been unfair to California tax-
payers. And the price to Nevada for appar-
ently winning the Tesla lottery was indeed
steep up to $1.3 billion in tax breaks
over 20 years that
includes waving sales
and uses taxes, property
and payroll taxes.
Thursdays debate is
the only time the two are
scheduled to meet during
the fall campaign and
provided the best chance
for the little known and
under-funded Kashkari to
introduce himself to a
famously fickle California electorate. The
debate in a cramped television studio
across from the state Capitol took place
on the opening night of the NFL season, a
scheduling conflict that likely did not
work in Kashkaris favor.
The former U.S. Treasury official never-
theless made the most of the opportunity,
hitting the Democratic incumbent on a
wide range of issues, from Browns sup-
port to a ban on plastic shopping bags to
his refusal to stop what is expected to be a
steep rise in gasoline prices next year
because of the states global warming law.
Brown compared the oil companies
threat to boost gas prices next to their
fight decades ago against Californias
fuel-efficiency standards, which are now
the national norm. In supporting the
states efforts to regulate greenhouse gas
emissions, Brown warned of the dangers
from climate change, including rising sea
levels and more devastating wildfires.
We have to do something, he said.

Thirty-two states ask
Supreme Court to settle gay marriage
BOSTON Thirty-two states that either allow gay mar-
riage or have banned it asked the U.S. Supreme Court on
Thursday to settle the issue once and for all.
Fifteen states that allow gay marriage, led by
Massachusetts, led a brief asking the justices to take up
three cases from Virginia, Utah and Oklahoma and overturn
bans. And 17 other states, led by Colorado, that have
banned the practice asked the court to hear cases from Utah
and Oklahoma to clear up a morass of lawsuits, but didnt
urge the court to rule one way or another.
The ling came as a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled that same-sex
marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana are unconstitution-
al. The unanimous decision Thursday criticized the justica-
tions both states gave, several times singling out the argu-
ment that marriage between a man and a woman is tradition.
There are, the court noted, good and bad traditions.
The experience of Massachusetts the rst state to
legalize gay marriage shows that allowing same-sex cou-
ples to wed has only beneted families and strengthened the
institution of marriage, said Attorney General Martha
Coakley.
Laws that bar same-sex couples from marrying are dis-
criminatory and unconstitutional, she said. The time has
come for this critical issue to be resolved.
Court grants Obama plea to re-hear health case
WASHINGTON The federal appeals court in
Washington threw out a ruling Thursday that called into
question the subsidies that help millions of low- and mid-
dle-income people afford their premiums under the presi-
dents health care law.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia granted an Obama administration request to have
its full complement of judges re-hear a challenge to regula-
tions that allow health insurance tax credits under the
Affordable Care Act for consumers in all 50 states.
The announcement diminishes the prospect of Supreme
Court review of the issue in the near term. The initial 2-1
appeals court ruling in Washington came out the same day
that a panel of appellate judges in Richmond, Virginia,
unanimously sided with the administration on the same
issue.
The health laws opponents had hoped that the split rul-
ings would lead the high court to take up the issue soon.
Two Bitcoin operators
plead guilty in Silk Road case
NEW YORK The top executive of a New York City-
based Bitcoin company and a Florida Bitcoin exchanger
pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges, admitting that
they enabled the digital currency to be funneled to the black

Charlie Shrem, 24, of Manhattan, pleaded guilty in feder-
al court there to aiding and abetting the operation of an unli-
censed money transmitting business, while Robert Faiella,
54, of Cape Coral, Florida, pleaded guilty to operating an
unlicensed money transfer business.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 20, when each faces as much

NEW YORK Police handcuffed
dozens of protesters who blocked traf-
c in dozens of cities across the coun-
try on Thursday in their latest attempt
to escalate efforts to get McDonalds ,
Burger King and other fast-food com-
panies to pay employees at least $15
an hour.
The protests, which were planned by
labor organizers for about 150 cities
nationwide throughout Thursday, are
part of a campaign called Fight for
$15.
Since the efforts began in late 2012,
organizers have switched up their tac-
tics every few months to bring atten-
tion to the protests, which have
attracted spotty crowds. Organizers
previously said they planned to
engage in nonviolent civil disobedi-
ence on Thursday, which they predicted
might lead to arrests.
In New York, 19 people were arrested
on Thursday for blocking trafc, with
at least three people wearing
McDonalds uniforms taken away by
police ofcers after standing in the
middle of a busy street near Times
Square. About two dozen protesters
were detained in Detroit after they
wouldnt move out of a street near a
McDonalds restaurant. Others were
apprehended by police in Chicago, Las
Vegas, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami
and Denver.
In Milwaukee, Democratic U.S.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore was
taken away in handcuffs by police for
blocking trafc at a McDonalds .
I take great pride in supporting
Milwaukee workers as they risk arrest
in pursuit of a brighter tomorrow for
their families, Moore said in a state-
ment through her communications
director, Eric Harris.
Tyree Johnson also was among
those hauled away in Chicago.
Johnson earns $8.45 an hour after
working at a Chicago McDonalds for
more than two decades. Ive been
there 22 years and I cant help my fam-
i l y, he said.

WASHINGTON A friendly re inci-
dent in Afghanistan that killed ve U.S. sol-
diers and one Afghan in June was caused by a
series of avoidable miscommunications
among air and ground forces, according to a
military investigation report released
Thursday.
The report from U.S. Central Command,
which oversees operations in Afghanistan,
cited a collective failure by soldiers, com-
manders and air crew members to execute the
fundamentals of the mission. As a result, the
ve Americans and one Afghan were mistak-
en for enemy forces and were attacked with
two laser-guided bombs.
Many details of the report were blacked
out before its public release.
The incident was one of the deadliest
friendly fire episodes of the entire war,
which began 13 years ago next month.
The crew of the Air Force B-1 bomber were
executing an authorized order, but they were
faulted by investigators for not taking rea-
sonable precautions to ensure they knew
where friendly forces were located. Despite
discrepancies in reported U.S. troop loca-
tions suggesting that something may
have been amiss the air crew did not take
necessary steps to validate its information
before launching the bombs, the report
said.
Unidentified members of the ground
forces, which included an Army Special
Forces unit, were faulted for incorrectly
communicating some troops positions and
for not knowing that the B-1 bombers tar-
geting gear is incapable of detecting friend-
ly marking devices of the type used by U.S.
ground forces in the June 9 operation.

MONROVIA, Liberia The American aid

$75 million to fund 1,000 more beds in
Ebola treatment centers in Liberia and buy
130,000 more protective suits for health
care workers.
West Africas struggling health systems
have buckled under the pressure of an Ebola
outbreak that has already killed about 1,900
people. Nurses in Liberia are wearing rags
over their heads to protect themselves from
the dreaded disease, amid concerns that
shortages of protective gear throughout the
region are responsible for the high Ebola
death toll among health workers.
The U.S. Agency for International
Development also urged American health
care workers to respond to the outbreak.
Rajiv Shah, the agencys administrator, told
the Associated Press that several hundred
more international experts are needed and
the agency will help send Americans health
care workers there.

OPINION 9
Station Park Green
Editor,
Trafc and parking at the proposed
Station Park Green development (in
the Kmart lot) will negatively impact
the quality of life in San Mateo and
nearby cities (First review for
Station Park Green in the Sept. 1
edition of the Daily Journal).
Alan Talansky, representative of
EBL&S, the developer, has stated that
the plans allow only 1.2 parking
spaces per unit in Station Park Green,
a huge complex that includes resi-
dences, ofce towers and retail busi-
nesses.
The important consideration here,
besides congested trafc, is that there
will be no parking for anyone going
and coming. That includes ofce
workers who dont take the train,
patrons of shops, visitors of any
kind and some residents, for even
commuters who train-it to work have
a car they use as well, sometimes two.
So, where will they park? Not on
Delaware theres no parking
allowed; not in the train station
where they have to pay; not in local
business lots where even now they
are roped off to the public; not on
side streets, for there are none.
They will park in the only place
they can, in the adjacent subdivision
of Eichler homes across Delaware
Street, Nineteenth Avenue/Park, an
established community of 267
homes, built in 1955. And the streets
in this area are already crowded with
residents cars.
As one of those residents of 45
years, I, and my neighbors, implore
the Planning Commission to take
EBL&S to task for its lack of con-
sciousness in this matter. I urge all
citizens to write Rick Bonilla, chair,
Planning Commission, San Mateo
City Hall.

To be counted in
strength and power
Editor,
The current ISIS crisis being han-
dled by President Barack Obama
recalls to mind the Iran crisis during
the Carter administration. President
Jimmy Carter, in the eyes of Iranian
leaders, was considered weak and
inept, bungling the affair. The minute
President Ronald Reagan was sworn
in, Iran immediately sought an end to
the incident, because they respected
(feared) Reagan as a man of strength.
ISIS does not respect (fear) President
Obama. They see him as weak, inef-
fective and lacking leadership, and
therefore; the United States is in a
similar genre.
Isnt it time, Mr. President, to stand
up and be counted in strength and
power and not bungle this too?

Letters to the editor
The Wall Street Journal
T
his weeks NATO summit in
Wales is billed as one of the
most important in its 65-year
history, and with good reason. The
Atlantic alliance needs to prove it is
serious about deterring the no longer
unthinkable prospect of another
major war in Europe.
Lest you think we overstate, on
Monday the Italian newspaper La
Repubblica quoted Vladimir Putin
telling European Commission
President Jos Manuel Barroso that
if I want, I can take Kiev in two
weeks a statement the Kremlin did
not deny (though it did denounce the
leak). Putin is talking openly about
New Russia, with specic mention
of the cities of Kharkiv, Luhansk and
Donetsk in eastern Ukraine as well as
Odessa on the Black Sea.
Such talk may be bluster, but the
stealthy seizure of Crimea was sup-
posed to be unthinkable only a few
months ago. So was Russias inva-
sion of eastern Ukraine last month.
The problem with calling something
unthinkable is that it tends to dull the
thinking needed to keep it that way.
Europeans also thought the world
wars of the last century were unthink-
able right up until they broke out.
Wars happen when aggressors
detect the lack of will to stop them.
After Russias 2008 invasion of
Georgia, we warned that Ukraine,
which has been pushing Russia to
move its Black Sea eets headquar-
ters, could be next. (Vladimir
Bonaparte, Aug. 12, 2008.) We also
noted that the (NATO) alliance needs
to respond forcefully. It didnt. Here
we are.
The good news is that NATOs insti-
tutional leaders, civilian and military,
have been awake to reality for some
time. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the
alliances energetic Secretary General,
was warning well before Russias
invasion of Ukraine that NATOs
European members needed to spend a
great deal more on defense. We must
shift the argument from the cost of
defense to the cost of no defense,
Rasmussen said last October.
NATO Supreme Commander Philip
Breedlove has also been clear in
describing the nature and sophistica-
tion of Russias military moves.
Surprise, deception and strategic
ambiguity have been adeptly
employed by Russia against
Ukraine, the general wrote in The
Wall Street Journal July 16, adding
that this strategy, quite simply, has
signicant implications for Europes
future security.
Far from clear, however, is whether
Western political leaders share this
sense of urgency.
As for the ostensible leader of the
Free World, President Obama is busy
downplaying the threats to world
order by saying, as he did on Monday,
that the world has always been
messy and the new global disorder is
something were just noticing now
because of social media. Social
media arent sending those Russian
tanks toward Donetsk.
The only way to deter such military
aggression is with a show of compa-
rable military and political resolve.
NATO states including the U.S.
will have to reverse the trend of
cuts to military spending.
NATO must show resolve Election season is here
L
abor Day has always been the unofcial kickoff for
the November election though the ling deadline
for the race is in mid-August.
Starting next week, the Daily Journal will be kicking off
its own election coverage though a few stories have
already been written as the races have been formalized.
This election is a mid-term congressional and gubernato-
rial election, which typically draws a lot of interest though
not as much as a presidential election. However, consider-
ing that Gov. Jerry Brown has such a commanding lead
over Republican challenger Neel Kashkari that the interest
just does not appear to be there. And around here, congres-
sional and even state legislative races will likely be domi-
nated by incumbents.
Still, there is stuff on
the ballot this election
that should denitely
interest folks around
here, and have a direct
impact on our lives.
In the Daily Journal
coverage area, it is my
prediction that two
races will be the most
interesting. The rst is
actually two races, and
that is the San Mateo
County Harbor District
Board of
Commissioners. Three
incumbents are up for
election, two for four-
year seats and one for a
two-year seat. The two
four-year incumbents are Jim Tucker and Robert Bernardo.
They are challenged by Nicole David, Shawn Mooney,
Brian Rogers and Kimberley Collins. The two-year incum-
bent, Will Holsinger, was appointed to ll the remaining
term of Leo Padreddii after his death in 2013. Running
against him are Tom Mattusch and Robert Grant. So there
are nine running for three seats on the board. The last elec-
tion in 2012 had six candidates for three seats. There is
likely more interest this go-around after the, for the lack of
a better phrase, dysfunction, on the board and lack of com-
munication between its members. In addition, a recent
civil grand jury report talking about that dysfunction and
calling for the district to be disbanded and taken under
county governance likely has a role in the interest. In addi-
tion, there was the bombshell announcement this week
that General Manager Peter Grenell will be retiring in
January so nding the right t for the future will be key.
The Harbor District may not make decisions that have a
direct impact on everyone in the countys day-to-day lives,
but it is funded by our tax dollars and is the steward of two
well-established and critical gateways to our community
Pillar Point Harbor on the coast and Oyster Point
Marina/Park in South San Francisco. The future of the dis-
trict, and how its members get along with each other, is at
stake in this race.
Another race sure to get a lot of attention is the Half
Moon Bay City Council. With incumbent Naomi Patridge
deciding to step away from the council, there are two
incumbents running for three seats Rick Kowalczyk and
Allan Alifano. The challengers are Don Prestosz, Deborah
Ruddock, Harvey Rarback, Deborah Penrose and David
Eblovi. Races in which an incumbent decides not to run
typically generate more candidate interest but the council
is on the heels of a contentious ballot ght over the future
of the Main Street Bridge. Perhaps the challengers are
emboldened by that victory, but its sure to get interesting.
The South San Francisco Unied School District Board
of Trustees has eight candidates for three seats and has
been operating for months with a four-member board after
incumbent Shirlee Hoch stepped down for health reasons.
The board had just appointed Patrick Lucy to ll Liza
Normandys seat when she was elected to the South San
Francisco City Council but couldnt get it together to
appoint a replacement for Hoch in time for a deadline so
decided to go with four members until November. Running
along with Lucy is incumbent Phil Weise and challengers
Rick Ochsenhirt, Pat Murray, Rosa Acosta, Monica
Peregrina Boyd, Sue Olinger and John Baker. With so
many candidates, thats a lot of choices for voters.
There are also contested races for the Sequoia Healthcare
District Board of Directors and the Peninsula Health Care
District, a measure about height limits in San Bruno, a
$388 million bond measure for the San Mateo County
Community College District, a $48 million bond measure
for the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School
District, a $256 parcel tax extension that combines two
current parcel taxes and a half-cent sales tax extension
measure in Half Moon Bay.
So while interest may be low, theres plenty of action on
this fall ballot. And well be tracking the progress all the
way to Election Day.

Big movers

NEWYORK Aslump in oil prices
weighed on the stock market
Thursday, pushing the Standard &
Poors 500 index to its third straight
loss.
Stocks had started the day higher
after the European Central Bank sur-
prised investors by announcing that it
had cut its benchmark interest rate to a
record low and planned to purchase
asset-backed securities in an effort to
stimulate the regions ailing economy.
Investors were also cheered by some
encouraging reports on the U.S. econ-
omy.
The gains didnt hold though and the
market fell back during afternoon trad-
ing, as the falling price of oil pushed
energy stocks lower. Traders may also
have been reluctant to place big bets
ahead of Fridays closely watched gov-
ernment jobs report.
Stocks have made a sluggish start to
September, historically the worst
month for the market, after surging in
August. The S&P 500 gained 3.8 per-
cent last month, climbing to a record
high as it logged its best performance
since February.
The market did respond to the ECB
news this morning, and certainly to
the good economic news, but there are
definite signs that this market is
stretched, said Peter Cardillo, chief
market economist at Rockwell Global
Capital.
The S&P 500 index fell 3.1 points,
or 0.2 percent, to 1,997.65. The Dow
Jones industrial average fell 8.7
points, or 0.1 percent to 17,069.58
points. The Nasdaq composite dropped
10.28 points, or 0.2 percent, to
4,562.29.
Stocks climbed in early trading, fol-
lowing a move higher by major index-
es in Europe, after the ECBs surprise
announcement. Some analysts had
been expecting the central bank to say
it was preparing a new stimulus pro-
gram, but most did not expect an
announcement as early as this week.
The ECB said it had trimmed its
benchmark interest rate to 0.05 per-
cent from a previous record low of 0.15
percent. In a news conference, ECB
President Mario Draghi also said the
bank would also start purchases of pri-
vate sector nancial assets in October.
The program aims to make credit
cheaper, helping investment and
growth at a time when the economy of
the 18-country eurozone has stalled.
As well as boosting stocks, the
announcement caused the euro to
slump against the dollar, pushing it to
its lowest level against the U.S. cur-
rency in more than a year. Europes
single currency, which has been in
retreat over the past few weeks on
expectations that the ECB may pursue
further stimulus measures, fell 1.5 per-
cent to $1.29 per euro.
There was also encouraging news for
stock investors on the U.S. economy.
U.S. services firms expanded in
August at the fastest pace on record.
The Institute for Supply Management
said Thursday that its services index
rose to 59.6 last month from 58.7 in
July. The August gure is the highest
recorded since the measure was intro-
duced in January 2008.
Hiring is also picking up and U.S.
businesses added jobs at a healthy pace
in August, according to a private sur-
vey, the fth straight month of solid
gains. On Friday, the government will
issue the August jobs report. The fore-
cast is that U.S. employers added
220,000 jobs and that the unemploy-
ment rate dipped to 6.1 percent from
6.2 percent.
The backdrop is looking pretty
rosy for the U.S. economy and we
think that this could translate into
(higher) corporate profits through
stronger revenue, said David
Lebovitz, a global market strategist at
JPMorgan Asset Management.
Despite the encouraging signs, the
stock market started giving up its
gains in afternoon trading Thursday,
before ending the day with a small
loss.
Stocks flat as oil drop offsets ECB stimulus
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Hackers successfully
breached HealthCare.gov, but no consumer
information was taken from the health insur-
ance website that serves more than 5 million
Americans, the Obama administration dis-
closed Thursday.
Instead, the hackers installed malicious
software that could have been used to launch
an attack on other websites from the federal
insurance portal.
Health and Human Services spokesman
Aaron Albright said the website component
that was breached had been used for testing
and did not contain consumer information,
such as names, birth dates, Social Security
numbers and income details.
The initial intrusion took place July 8, but
it was not detected until Monday of last week
during a manual scan of system logs. HHS
said the component that was breached did
not have a rewall, or intrusion detection
software, installed on it. Technicians manu-
ally scanning logs discovered the breach
Aug. 25 and took action.
The Homeland Security Department,
which helps safeguard federal systems, said
the scope of the attack was limited to one
server. There is no evidence an attack was
subsequently launched from the tainted
machine.
Federal computer systems are the targets
of hundreds of cyberattacks every day, but
this is believed to be the rst successful one
involving HealthCare.gov.
The health care site had numerous techni-
cal problems when it was launched last fall
and was initially unworkable for most con-
sumers. Among the issues that concerned the
governments own technical experts was
that security testing could not be completed
because the system was undergoing so many
last-minute changes. HealthCare.gov even-
tually passed security certication.
Sadly, the news that HealthCare.gov has
been hacked does not come as a surprise,
Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., said in a statement.
Pitts chairs a panel that held hearings last
year on the website problems. Like other
congressional Republicans, he opposes
President Barack Obamas health care over-
haul.
Hackers break into HealthCare.gov Court rules for Yelp
in suit over online ratings
SAN FRANCISCO Online review site
Yelp can lower or raise the rating of a busi-
ness depending on whether it advertises
with the company, a federal appeals court
ruled in a lawsuit led by small businesses
claiming Yelp used the tactic to try to extort
ads from them.
Yelp has denied doing that, saying it uses
an automated system to cull reviews that
determine ratings.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled on Tuesday that even if Yelp did manip-
ulate reviews to penalize businesses, the
practice would not constitute extortion.
The court said businesses do not have a
right to positive reviews on Yelp, and that
the San Francisco-based company can seek
payments for its advertising.
The business owners may deem the post-
ing or order of user reviews as a threat of
economic harm, but it is not unlawful for
Yelp to post and sequence the reviews,
Judge Marsha Berzon wrote for the three-
judge panel. As Yelp has the right to charge
for legitimate advertising services, the
threat of economic harm that Yelp leveraged
is, at most, hard bargaining.
Berzon said the plaintiffs could pursue
other claims involving Yelp, but the extor-
tion allegation did not hold up.
Yelp said in a blog post on its website
that it has never altered business ratings for
money.
Mattress Firm buying
Sleep Train for $425 million
HOUSTON Mattress Firm is buying
The Sleep Train Inc. for $425 million to
help bolster its position in the specialty
retail bedding industry.
Sleep Train runs approximately 310 retail
stores in California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Nevada and Hawaii. Mattress Firm
Holding Corp. has more than 1,500 compa-
ny-run and franchised stores in 36 states. Its
brands include Sealy, Serta and Tempur-
Pedic.
As part of the deal announced Thursday,
Houston-based Mattress Firm said that it
will also assume certain additional liabili-

It plans to continue operating under both
the Mattress Firm and Sleep Train brands
and will keep privately held Sleep Trains

CARSON CITY, Nev. Nevada Gov.
Brian Sandoval announced Thursday that
Tesla Motors will build a massive battery
factory in the state as long as legislators
approve tax breaks and other incentives
worth up to $1.3 billion over 20 years.
Sandoval revealed terms of the deal he
negotiated with the electric car maker at a
Capitol news conference attended by Elon
Musk, CEO of California-based Tesla. The
governor called it a monumental
announcement that will change Nevada for-
ever.
Sandoval didnt mention the total value
of the package and his remarks seemed
intended to pre-empt critics who will see it
as too generous.
Is this agreement good for us? the gov-
ernor asked. This agreement meets the
test, by far.
Later, he said that for every $1 Nevada
gives up, the project will produce $80 in
economic impact.
Even the most skeptical economist
would conclude that this is a strong return
(on investment) for us, Sandoval said.
Musk told the audience that Nevada didnt
offer the biggest incentive package among
the ve states that tried to lure the factory,
though he didnt specify which did among
California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico
and Nevada.
The most important considerations were
not incentives, he said, but rather a high
condence that the factory will be ready by
2017, followed by assurances that batteries
can be produced cost efciently.
Later, Musk told reporters that Tesla
would stop looking for another state as a
backup, in case Nevada did not come
through. Nevada is it, he said.
The governor will call a special legisla-
tive session as early as Wednesday to
approve the package.
Its ultimate cost to taxpayers depends on
how much economic activity the factory
generates. On the low end, it could be worth
$865 million, according to Steve Hill,
executive director of Sandovals Ofce of
Economic Development.

NEWYORK Google has agreed to pay
full refunds totaling at least $19 million to
consumers who were charged for purchases
that children made via apps without
parental consent from the Google Play app
store.
The settlement is part of the third case by
the Federal Trade Commission about unau-
thorized in-app purchases made by children.
It settled with Apple for $32.5 million in
January and it led a complaint against
Amazon, which has said it wont settle over
the charges.
In Googles case, the FTC said that since
2011, consumers have reported children had
made unauthorized charges ranging from 99
cents to $200 within kids apps downloaded
from the Google Play store.
Most interaction with online services on
mobile devices occurs through apps, as
opposed to a Web browser, according to
comScore. The rm estimates seven out of
every eight minutes of media consumption
on mobile devices is done through an app.
In the U.S., comScore estimates that the
Android operating system covers 83.8 mil-
lion smartphone subscribers vs. 67.4 mil-
lion on iPhones.
According to the FTC complaint, when
Google introduced in-app charges to the
Google Play in 2011, they were not pass-
word protected. As a result, children could
buy virtual items just by clicking on popup
boxes within an app while they used it. In
mid- to late-2012, Google instituted a pop-
up box that asked for a password before a
payment could be made but that still opened
up a 30-minute window during which a pass-
word wasnt required.

Bret Pollack does not believe in prognos-
ticating.
Pollack College of San Mateo foot-
balls head coach is a man of action, not
words. And entering into his sixth season
at the helm with a 41-12 career record, his
Bulldogs actions speak volumes. Even
more so, CSM transferred 25 players to
four-year schools from last seasons No. 2-
ranked squad in the California Community
College Athletic Association, with $1.7
million in scholarship money, according to
Pollack.
With CSMs season kicking off Saturday
against College of the Siskiyous, Pollack
said he plans to mix it up with player pla-
toons to test his roster of 75 players, gaug-
ing in-game performance to inform his ros-
ter of starters going forward. And as Pollack
explains, he doesnt see freshmen and
sophomores when he evaluates his team. He
only sees football players.
Im sure those are interesting facts to
some people; theyre not to me. I just go by
how they play, Pollack said. I dont clas-
sify them as returners or not. I dont really
break down the numbers and look at it that
way. Its talent and how they play.
Pollack will have plenty of decisions to
make regarding his defensive front, which
has seen an exodus of players since last sea-
son. The Bulldogs totaled 28 sacks as a team
in 2013, but return just ve and a half sacks.
But the foundation for success is in place.
Last season, the Bulldogs surrendered the
third fewest yards in the state, averaging
284.3 yard against per game. As a result,
they gave up the fourth fewest points per
game, averaging 17.9. With defensive line-
man Pio Vatuvei transferring to Louisville,
however taking his team-best six and a
half sacks with him it will be a test to
nd a comparable replacement.
The defense was very outstanding last
year, Pollack said. Team speed, run to the
football, play hard, play physical thats
all we can ask.
CSM runs a base 4-3 defense, and the
Bulldogs enter Saturdays opener in great
shape in the back seven.

Serras Kelepi Lataimua was one of the best defensive backs in the WCAL last season and still
managed to accumulate nearly 600 yards on offense. He will carry more of a load this year.

Many media outlets are choosing Serra to
repeat as West Catholic Athletic League
champions. While the Padres return plenty
of talent from last seasons Central Coast
Section Open Division title team, coach
Patrick Walsh knows just how difcult it is
to compete for a league and section
title year in and year out.
The hardest thing for any team in any
sport is winning back-to-back champi-
onships, Walsh said. Its always easier to
play the underdog role.
Walsh may try to instill that underdog
attitude in the 2014 edition of the Padres.
The return of 1,400-yard rusher Kava
Cassidy from a 2013 record-setting offense,
along with two-way standout, junior defen-
sive back/running back/slot receiver Kilepi
Lataimua and Stanford-bound left tackle
Jack Dreyer give the Padres some star power
offensively, but Walsh is more concerned
with holes that are left to l l .
Who is going to block for those guys
(Cassidy and Lataimua)?, Walsh said.
Were going to have to replace the offen-
sive line. I have to replace those guys rst
before we can worry about running the
ball.
Kennedy and Lataimua both have the
potential to accumulate 1,000-yard sea-
sons, but Walsh is worried about having to
replace at least three starters up front.
Joining the 6-8 Dreyer is left guard
Creighton Felise who is also one of the
teams best defensive players and will see
action both ways regularly. Walsh said the
same ve linemen played every signicant
snap for the Padres last season.
Adding pressure on the offensive line is
the fact the Padres will be breaking in a new
quarterback. Leki Nunn is a sophomore and
will be playing the position for the rst
time and learning it at the varsity level can
be a daunting task.
[Nunn] didnt even play quarterback on
the freshman team. (But) hes done a great

Caada College has shut down the
womens soccer program for the
2014 season, Caada athletic direc-
tor Mike Garcia conrmed.
Garcia would not elaborate on why
the program has been shuttered,
referring all questions to college
president Lawrence Buckley, who did
not return a phone call.
Unfortunately our president put it
on one-year hiatus, Garcia said.
(But) we are bringing back womens
soccer next year, 100 percent.
The program, coached by Kurt
Devlin, has struggled in recent years
to nd enough players to eld a team,
many who were not prepared or
equipped skill-wise to safely play at
the community college level. Devlin
also coaches the Palo Alto girlssoc-
cer team.
Devlin also did not return phone
calls seeking comment.
The results the last three years
have been dismal for the Colts,
going just 2-45-1. Since 2004,
Caada has compiled a record of 63-
106-19, with the Coltslast winning
season coming in 2010, when they
went 11-7-3 and 7-6-3 for a fth-
place nish in the Coast Conference

SANTA CLARA Michael
Crabtree hawked bags of popcorn
and hot dogs in the stands at old
Texas Stadium as a boy.
The star wide receiver who
worked concessions at Dallas
games beginning at age 6 and who
considered himself pretty good at
it, will go home this weekend to
face the Cowboys in a season open-
er that takes on even more mean-
ing.
He has purchased 70 tickets for
his family members to attend
Sunday's game.
I think my family's more excited
than I am, Crabtree said Thursday.
Going back from selling popcorn
and hot dogs in the stands for the
Cowboys and being able to play
them, that's a big change.
The 49ers 10th overall pick in
the 2009 draft out of Texas Tech,
Crabtree returned to practice
Thursday after sitting out
Wednesday with a calf issue.
Theres no way he is missing this
one, especially
after he was
sidelined for the
first 11 games
last season
recovering from
a torn right
Achilles ten-
don.
Crabtree, who
turns 27 on
Sept. 14, has
waited six seasons for his rst NFL
game back home in Dallas.
Thats where hes from, coach
Jim Harbaugh said. Its denitely a
big deal to him.
If he can stay healthy, Crabtree
hopes to put together a season
much like his breakout year in
2012.
Crabtree emerged as Colin
Kaepernicks top target that year
and had career bests of 85 recep-
tions for 1,105 yards and nine
touchdowns. They quickly found
their rhythm again when the wide-
out came back last December, and
hope to pick up where they left off.
He tore his right Achilles tendon
during 7-on-7 drills in an organized
team activity on May 21, 2013,
then had surgery. Crabtree
impressed everybody with not only
his remarkable return but his pro-
ductivity without a drop-off despite
the rigors of rehab.
Hes ready to go, offensive
coordinator Greg Roman said.
Hes a true professional. Mike
played last year when he came back
in a tough situation for some. He
went out, gutted it out and helped us
win a lot of football games. And
thats what were looking forward
to this year.
Place kicker Phil Dawson also
grew up in Dallas. He will be reunit-
ed with his wife and three children,
who live in Texas during the school
year while he is in the Bay Area.
He can imagine Crabtrees moti-
vation this week.
Its awesome. Week 1s exciting
anyway, any way you slice it, but
especially when you go home to
your hometown. Obviously, you
always want to play well. Im sure
hell be geeked up, as well as the
rest of us who are from Texas, said
the 39-year-old Dawson, who pur-
chased 50 tickets for his rst game
back in Dallas but now leaves
everybody to buy their own.
While there has been talk of a
contract extension for Crabtree,
hes not touching that subject with
the season underway.
All I think about is football. I
dont worry about all that. Ill let it
handle itself, he said. I wish I
could talk to you about the contract
but I cant.
He has no problem talking about
all his old favorite Cowboys: Troy
Aikman, Michael Irvin, Alvin
Harper. He sees some of each of
those stars in his game and
approach.
Im pretty much myself, he
said. You can get little things from
guys, some similarities. If you see
me going up on a jump ball, I would
say Im like Alvin Harper. If you see
me in the middle catching a ball, Id
say Im more like Michael Irvin.
Those guys are great.

ALAMEDA Shelby Harris had
no idea what his football future
would hold when he was suspended
for his final college season at
Illinois State.
After spending part of his time
off waiting tables in an Italian
restaurant, Harris was able to get
into good enough shape to per-
suade the Oakland Raiders to draft
him in the seventh round.
Harris then showed enough in
training camp and the exhibition
games to earn a spot on Oakland's
53-man roster as a backup defen-
sive lineman. Instead of viewing
that comeback as an impressive
feat, Harris said it is only the
beginning.
I knew the whole time I could
make this roster, Harris said. It
was just a matter of going out there
and showing them. Its a big step
but the journey is not over. You
made the roster but now what will
you do? Are you complacent mak-
ing the roster or are you trying to
make a move up the roster and be
able to play and make plays?
Harris made a strong early
impression in his start to his NFL
career with one sack and eight
quarterback hurries in limited time
in the exhibition season. He has
had ups and downs that would be
expected after going more than 20
months without playing a game.
Harris was suspended for his
nal year of college at Illinois
State for an undisclosed violation
of team rules and kicked off the
team. He previously had been sus-
pended at Wisconsin and forced to
transfer.
Harris does not want to talk
about what led to his dismissal but
says he was humbled by it and got
an even deeper appreciation of
playing football from his time
away.
Just watching all my friends
and my teammates going out to
practice every day, going out dur-
ing the games, missing teammate
camaraderie. It hurts, he said. It
hurts just because thats what you
live for. When you play sports you
live for being on the team, that
teammate camaraderie.
The Raiders were willing to
overlook Harris transgressions to
draft him in the seventh round in
May because they believed in him
as a person and player.
Harris had 14 sacks in three sea-
sons at Illinois State and was an
all-Missouri Valley Conference
selection in 2012. But he was sus-
pended from the team in March
2013.He spent his year away from
football working out and playing
basketball to stay in shape. He
also got a job as a waiter before
leaving to train for the draft in
Indianapolis.
I still feel like Im not 100 per-
cent back but Im making strides
every day, he said. Just being
able to be out here and perfect my
craft every day. Every day it takes
coming out here and working on
it. I dont know when Ill be back
and I dont know when Ill go past
where I was but all I know is slow-
ly Im getting there.

49ers most expensive NFL
outing for family of four
NEWYORK The San Francisco
49ers new stadium is the most
expensive venue to take a family of
four for an NFLgame.
Team Marketing Report released
its Fan Cost Index on Thursday, indi-
cating families will have to shell out
an estimated $641.50 to attend a
49ers game in their new digs in
Santa Clara, California.
The New England Patriots remain
the most expensive ticket at $122,
the highest average for a non-premi-
um ticket.Theyre followed by the
49ers at $117.
The average NFLticket is $84.43,
a 3.5 percent increase from last sea-
son.
Eight teams have average non-
premium tickets more than $100.
The New York Giants ($111.69),
Dallas ($110.20), Chicago
($108.44), Jets ($105.66),
Washington ($102) and Baltimore
($100.19) round out the eld.
Cleveland still has the cheapest at

($57.65).
Raiders settle cheerleader
lawsuit for $1.25 M
OAKLAND The Oakland
Raiders have agreed to pay $1.25
million to settle a lawsuit alleging
they failed to pay their cheerleaders
minimum wage.
The team and attorneys for the
cheerleaders released a statement
Thursday announcing the settle-
ment. The two sides will seek
approval of the deal in Alameda
County Superior Court on Sept. 26.
The settlement covers 90
Raiderettes who worked for the team
from 2010-13. The proposal calls
for each cheerleader to be paid an

2013 season. Cotton sustained the injury in Week 2, fol-
lowing a dynamic debut in a 41-27 opening-day win over
Laney in which he totaled seven tackles and an intercep-
tion.
After taking a redshirt for his lost season, Cotton returns
as a freshman. He will be joined in the secondary by soph-
omore safety Taylor Mashack, who ranked second on the
team with 5.2 tackles per game last season.
The linebacker unit will have to compensate for the loss
of Jake Kearney one of two Cal transfers along with
defensive lineman Trevor Kelly with Kearneys depar-
ture something of a surprise, coming after his freshman
season. CSM with rely on newcomer Malik Jackson to
play the inside, with Randy Allen returning to the outside
after missing most of the 2013 season with a knee injury.
Its a junior college program. Theres huge turnover
every year, Pollack said. Youre losing one-third of your
team, so new people step up. If the program is run correct-
ly and kids are doing what theyre supposed to do, it should
be sophomores playing and starting every year because
youre developing them.
The name of the game in community college football is
man-to-man defense and more man-to-man defense, accord-
ing to Pollack. That translates to the offensive side of the
ball as well. The good news for the Bulldogs in this respect
is they have their best returning depth in their wide receiv-
er corps, with four sophomore targets to ll out the spread
option offense.
Wide receivers Kevin Kutchera and Raeshawn Lee are two
of the most prolic skill-position returners on the team.
The tandem combined for just shy of 700 receiving yards
last year. Elias Vargas and slot receiver D.J. Peluso are also
in the mix, with Peluso returning the most ground produc-
tion on the team as he ran for 523 yards last season.
Gone is quarterback Casey Wichman, who retired from
football to pursue a degree at San Jose State. His departure
means the CSM quarterback competition is on. Entering
into camp with four contenders, Pollack has narrowed it
down to two for Saturdays opener. Freshman Jeremy
Cannon is tabbed as the starter with backup Justin Burgess
set to take plenty of snaps as well.
Cannon is an intriguing comeback story. At 23, he is
one of the oldest players on the Bulldogs roster. Cannon
hasnt played competitively since the 2009 senior season
Northwest Cabarrus High School in Concord, North
Carolina.
Cannon is a good athlete, Pollack said. Hes older,
hes mature, hes calm. (And) athletic he can throw the
ball. Hes done a really good job for us.
Looking for a competitive program, Cannon said he was
passed over by two other colleges. In his four-year
absence from the game, he continued to inquire with
schools across the nation.
I always saw myself playing again, I just didnt know
when or where, Cannon said. My main focus was just to
stick it out and keep playing and try to nd schools to go
to.
When the Bulldogs responded to a scouting tape Cannon
sent their way, he jumped at the chance. After an ofcial
visit to the campus in March, he quickly committed and
relocated to the West Coast.
I found it as a blessing because Id been out for a while,
and a couple other schools had denied me, Cannon said.
So, I really just tried to come out here and give it my all
for these guys because they are the ones that really
believed in me and saw my competitive spirit.
Quarterback protection should prove to be a strength with
three returning players on the offensive line. The guard
positions seem to be a lock with Woodside grad Kiola
Mahoni on the right and Malik Letatau on the left. Anthony
Ayllon is also slated as a returner at right tackle after miss-
ing half of last season due to injury.
Due to a CCCAA realignment, CSM moves from the
NorCal Conference to the new Bay 6 Conference. The com-
position of the Bay 6 is nearly identical to the old NorCal;
the one difference is 2013 state champion Butte College
moves to the new NorCal Conference. Moving from the
NorCal to the Bay 6 are CSM, City College of San
Francisco, Santa Rosa Junior College, DeAnza College and
Foothill College. The new addition to the Bay 6 mix is
Diablo Valley College.
Saturdays opener against Siskiyous will mark the rst
time the teams have ever met in a season game.

Martina Hingis returns to U.S. Open doubles nal
NEWYORK Martina Hingis will play in the U.S. Open
womens doubles nal for the rst time since winning the 1998
title.
Hingis, inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame
last year, and partner Flavia Pennetta beat the third-seeded duo
of Cara Black and Sania Mirza 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday.
Hingis, who turns 34 on Sept. 30, ended her latest retirement
to play doubles last year. She has won nine Grand Slam titles in
doubles and ve in singles.
Hingis only U.S. Open doubles championship came 16
years ago, when her partner was Jana Novatna.
That was a while back, Hingis said.
She and Pennetta played in three tournaments together lead-
ing up to the U.S. Open.
With Flavia, I feel really comfortable being out there,
Hingis said. I think thats the key to success.
In Saturdays nal, Hingis and Pennetta will face Russias
Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, who are seeded fourth.
Makarova and Vesnina eliminated Serena and Venus Williams
in the quarternals, then beat Kimiko Date-Krumm and Barbora
Zahlavova Strycova 7-5, 6-3 on Thursday.
The Russians own one Grand Slam doubles title as a pairing,
from last years French Open.
Makarova will face Serena Williams in the U.S. Open singles
seminals Friday.
Year after doping ban, Cilic reaches U.S. Open semis
NEWYORK Marin Cilic wasnt allowed to play last year
in the U.S. Open, forced to the sideline by a four-month doping
suspension that he says he didnt deserve.
Home in Croatia, he set about improving his game and his
tness, eager to be a better player when he returned to the ten-
nis tour. Now, he gures, that time off from competition is pay-
ing off on the court.
The 14th-seeded Cilic reached the second Grand Slam semi-
nal of his career, and rst since 2010, by beating sixth-seeded
Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4)
Thursday at Flushing Meadows.
Cilic, a former top-10 player, tested positive for a stimulant
after a match in Germany in May 2013, and the International
Tennis Federation sought a two-year ban. He said he ingested
the substance unintentionally via a glucose tablet bought at a
pharmacy.
He initially was suspended for nine months, but the Court of
Arbitration for Sport reduced that to four months on appeal last
October, saying, the sanction imposed was too severe. The
court also restored ranking points and prize money that had
been taken from Cilic.

SAN FRANCISCO Only a few feet beyond the outstretched
glove of Giants centerelder Angel Pagan, over the outeld
fence at AT&T Park, is a hidden gem unlike any other in big
league baseball.
This special space has been transformed into a lush garden
with kale and Swiss chard, tomatoes and avocadoes, blueberry
and lemon trees, and planter boxes packed with fresh herbs that
fans are encouraged to pick and sprinkle on their food.
Thats only the beginning of what can be found in this tran-
quil garden, believed to be a rst at a U.S. sports facility. Fans
can also picnic on the small sod farm, the very grass used to
replace that inside the ballpark when needed.
Theres the sustainable part of it, but theres also the health
food aspect of it, Giants CEO Larry Baer said. People can eat
out there in a healthy way. People think ballpark, Im going to
cheat on my diet or cheat on my health.When you come to the
ballpark, you dont have to cheat.
The makeover this year behind the 399-foot sign where
home run king Barry Bonds regularly directed fastballs, not far
from where his record 756th clout landed in August 2007, has
been remarkable. Fans can enjoy the nooks and crannies and
relax on benches beneath all the greens.
Its not a farmers market, though. One sign reads, Edible
Garden, Please Do Not Touch, and the only thing that fans can
actually eat are the herbs in designated centerpieces. Not to
fear: There are still plenty of ballpark staples such as hot dogs,
garlic fries, popcorn and beer.
From the 20-some cutting-edge, space-saving vertical tow-
ers that require far less soil and water to the more traditional
raised beds and planter boxes, the garden is not only a magical
spot in the middle of a bustling ballpark along San Francisco
Bay but also an outdoor classroom to teach children and teens
even adults, for that matter about healthy eating from
fresh ingredients and urban farming.

R
job of being a quarterback, Walsh said. Hes a very good
athlete. A good kid. Hes taken on the role of being the
Serra quarterback with everything that goes along with it.
Walsh believes Nunn has the athleticism to manage
Serras run-heavy offense for the rst half of the season
before Hunter Bishop is eligible to take over. Bishop is a
transfer from St. Francis and has to sit out the rst ve
weeks of the season because of CCS transfer rules.
Hunter, if he were eligible, he would be our starter,
Walsh said.
That is not such a bad thing because Walsh believes Nunn
can be more valuable at other positions.
By adding Hunter to the mix at quarterback, we also gain
(at other spots) by allowing Leki to play other positions,
Walsh said. [Nunn is] one of our best receivers and one of
our best cornerbacks.
Whoever is under center should have the outside targets
necessary to develop a passing game. Brandon Monroe
returns for his second season of varsity duty and should
provide some leadership for the group. Walsh said Demetri
McCoys potential is explosive.
The defensive line will be anchored by Felise, who will
be one of several Padres to play both sides of the ball this
season.
In a perfect world, Id have 22 different starters, Walsh
said. In high school, its very hard to do.
Billy Tuitavake saw some playing time on the defensive
line late in 2013 as a sophomore. Walsh said his senior
linemen Nick Fitzgerald and Alan Smolgovsky will
have to step up their game.
The linebacking unit returns second-year starter James
Outman, along with the emergence of senior Justin Tatola.
The defensive backeld could be in a bit of ux as no one
has taken the reins at the safety positions. One corner
should be locked down with Lataimua and the other will be
manned by Monroe.
The Padres will nd out real quick where they stand when
they face De La Salle in the season opener tonight in
Concord and follows that with a road trip to Sherman Oaks
to face another state power in Notre Dame. While Walsh
said he would love to beat his alma mater at DLS, he said
its more important to identify his teams strengths and
weaknesses before entering WCAL play in Week 4.
Ive always subscribed to the, You can win in losses
and lose in wins (mindset). I think every game can help us
prepare for our first league game against Valley
Christian, Walsh said. To me, (playing teams like DLS
is) more of a mirror, a reection of who we are. Ive always
looked at an opponent as an opportunity to look inward. I
want to know before October where the holes are and also
want to know where our strengths are.

ST. PAUL, Minn. Minnesota high
school hockey and football players are
more likely to get concussions than their
hoop-shooting or ball-kicking classmates,
according to a report released Thursday.
The Minnesota Department of Health col-
lected data from athletic trainers at 36 Twin
Cities-area schools during the last academic
year to provide the rst glimpse at how
often high school athletes are concussed, in
what sports and for how long.
Their report shows girls and boys hockey
have the highest concussion rates, with
about 6 in 100 players reporting a concus-
sion. All told, the state estimates 3,000
players were concussed last year nearly
half of them football players.
Concussions were once considered part of
the game; just shake it off and get back in
there, coaches would say. But lawsuits and
settlements from professional players who
suffered blows to the head have caused alarm
from the big leagues to the youth level,
prompting calls for better protection for
players and more research.
State ofcials said their report shouldn't
dissuade parents from signing up their kids
for hockey or football, nor does it scream a
quick x to cut down on concussions in
high school sports. Instead, it should be a
signal to parents and coaches that concus-
sions need to be taken just as seriously as
broken bones or sprained ankles, Health
Commissioner Ed Ehlinger said.
Be attentive to this. Dont take it light-
l y, said Lori Glover, director of rehabilita-
tion at the Institute of Athletic Medicine.
Minnesota already has taken steps to
address concussions. State lawmakers
passed a bill in 2011 requiring coaches to
remove young athletes from the game if
they show symptoms headaches, confu-
sion, nausea or vomiting among them
and mandated training for concussion
awareness.
Glover, who helped author the study, said
their research makes it clear coaches are tak-
ing concussions more seriously. In a bright
spot, the study found just 5 percent of ath-
letes who took a blow to the head suffered
concussion-like symptoms for two weeks
or more.
But the concussion numbers also raised
plenty of questions: Why are girls more
likely to get concussions than boys play-
ing the same sport? Why did concussions
peak with high school sophomores, then
taper off for 11th and 12th graders?
The state plans to expand its data collec-
tion statewide this year to try to answer
those questions and others, including
whether theres a difference in concussion
frequency at urban and rural Minnesota
schools.
Ultimately, the state hopes to use concus-
sion data to target specic on-eld or train-
ing changes that will prevent concussions,
said Jon Roesler, an epidemiologist super-
visor at the health department. One year of
data from 36 schools isnt enough to nd a
silver bullet, but its a start, Ehlinger said.
The data may not say how we change the
practice on the eld in different sports, but
it will change the practice of schools and
parents and the community making concus-
sions a bigger issue, Ehlinger said.
Report: 3K Minnesota athletes concussed last year
Suspended Browns WR to work at car dealership
BEREA, Ohio Josh Gordon wants to get you in a two-
door convertible today.
A person familiar with his plans said the Browns sus-
pended Pro Bowl wide receiver will work for a car dealership
while serving his NFL punishment.
Gordon was suspended for another violation of the
leagues substance abuse policy last week, a banishment
that will deprive the Browns of their top playmaker this
season. In the interim, he intends to work for the dealer-
ship, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymi-
ty because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Last week, arbitrator Harold Henderson upheld the
league's ruling to suspend Gordon, who led the league with
1,646 yards receiving last season despite being suspended
for two games and playing with three quarterbacks.

SEATTLE Russell Wilson made
sure everyone knew Percy Harvin
was healthy. Marshawn Lynch bul-
lied his way to another 100-yard
rushing performance.
And Richard Sherman? He was just
bored.
The Super Bowl champion Seattle
Seahawks opened the same way they
nished last season, with a blowout
victory.
Well always nd something that
we can do better, Seattle linebacker
Bobby Wagner said. Thats why
were so good.
Lynch ran for 110 yards and two
touchdowns, Harvin had 100 com-
bined yards rushing and receiving,
and the Seahawks dominated Aaron
Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers
in a 36-16 victory to kick off the
regular season Thursday night.
The memories of last season were
revisited, with the championship
banner unveiled celebrating
Seattles rst title. But the ceremony
was brief, a nod to putting last sea-
son behind and beginning the
process of trying to become the rst
team in a decade to repeat.
Their effort against the Packers
a popular pick to contend in the
NFC will only reinforce the
belief Seattle is still the favorite.
Wilson was outstanding in the rst
half, including a 33-yard touchdown
pass to Ricardo Lockette. Harvin got
touches as a receiver, running back
and returner. He was used all over the
eld in different formations after
never being fully healthy in his rst
season with Seattle.
Wilson nished 19 of 28 for 191
yards, while Lynch was at his best.
Pete Carroll said earlier this week
that Lynch appeared in the best
shape of his career, and it showed.
Lynch averaged 5.5 yards per carry
and topped 100 yards for the 20th
time in the regular season since
joining the Seahawks in 2010.
Lynch, who ran for 1,257 yards
and 12 touchdowns last season, bar-
reled through a trio of Packers for a
TD with 3:41 left before halftime to
give the Seahawks a 17-10 lead and
added a second scoring run on the
rst play of the fourth quarter.
Obviously, we were the more
physical team today, offensively
and defensively. I saw supposedly
some of the best players in the
league not want to tackle Marshawn
Lynch, Seattle defensive end
Michael Bennett said. Of course,
nobody is going to say nothing
about that, but I seen a lot of guys
whiff on tackles that should have
been 2-yard gains and theyre sup-
posed to be the best.
Seattle had 207 yards rushing as a
team and won for the 18th time in its
last 20 regular- season home games.
Harvin nished with 11 offensive
touches, including four rushes for 41
yards.
If we already peaked this game
were going to be in trouble,
Harvin said. I hope we can just take
this game and build on it.
Rodgers was 23 of 33 for 189
yards and was isolated to one side of
the eld. He looked almost exclu-
sively for Jordy Nelson matched up
against Byron Maxwell and never
threw in Shermans direction.
Nelson nished with nine recep-
tions, but Maxwell came up with a
third-quarter interception on a pass
that deected off Nelsons hands.
The most action for Sherman
came in the rst half when he acci-
dently blocked Davon House into
Earl Thomas on a punt return caus-
ing a fumble recovered by the
Packers.
But Seattles defenders did their
part. They sacked Rodgers three
times, taking advantage of a knee
injury suffered by right tackle Bryan
Bulaga in the second quarter. His
replacement, Derek Sherrod, gave up
a fourth-down sack to Cliff Avril to
end one drive inside Seattle territory.
Following a Seattle punt, Sherrod
was beaten by Michael Bennett on
Green Bays next offensive snap.
Rodgers was stripped and Sherrod
fell on the fumble in the end zone for
a safety and a 22-10 lead.
I think that you get wake up
calls and then you get drill ser-
geant kick you out the bed calls
and I think we just got kicked out
the bed onto a cement oor, and it
hurt, Green Bay defensive line-
man Mike Daniels said.

Comedian
Joan Rivers
dead at 81
Rivers stood
up fearlessly
for the funny
By Lynn Elber
Joan Rivers, the raucous, acid-tongued comedian who crashed the
male-dominated realm of late-night talk shows and turned
Hollywood red carpets into danger zones for badly dressed celebri-
ties, died Thursday. She was 81.
Rivers died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, surrounded by
family and close friends, daughter Melissa Rivers said. She was hospi-
talized Aug. 28 after going into cardiac arrest in a doctors ofce follow-
ing a routine procedure. The New York state health department is investigat-
ing the circumstances.
My mothers greatest joy in life was to make people laugh, Melissa Rivers
said. Although that is difcult to do right now, I know her nal wish would be that
we return to laughing soon.
Under the immobile, plastic surgery-crafted veneer that became Joan Rivers
unapologetic trademark as she aged, her wit remained as vibrantly raw and
unruly as when she rst broke her way into a comedy world belonging
largely to men.
In a 2010 Late Show interview, David Letterman broached the
plastic surgery issue: You dont look exactly like the Joan Rivers
I used to know. Rivers was unapologetic.
Our business is so youthful. ... You do little tweaks, and I
think if a woman wants to look good, or a man, do it, she said.
Its not about anybody else.
Fashion and acting were the early dreams of the woman who
grew up as a self-described fatty, but it was humor that paid the
bills and ultimately made Rivers a star. She refused to cede the
spotlight as the decades passed, working vigorously until her
death.
Rivers was a scrapper, rebuilding her career and life after a
failed attempt to make it as a late-night host was followed
By Frazier Moore
NEWYORK Joan Rivers was fearless.
Or, to be more accurate, a humorist who fearlessly spun fears
into gold.
They were golden, Rivers potshots, put-downs and zingers
(often aimed at herself) that mocked a world of vanities, foolish-
ness and, yes, fear.
The trouble with me is, I make jokes too often, she told the
Associated Press in 2013. Thats how I get through life. Life is
SO difcult everybodys been through something! But you
laugh at it, it becomes smaller.
So she made fears evaporate, at least for a moment. She blew
them up with relish.
She was known as acerbic or even cruel, but often there was bit-
ter honesty in the humor, and anyway her targets were big enough
to take it. When she famously joked about Elizabeth Taylors obe-
sity (She has more chins than a Beijing phone book) both Taylor
and phone customers in Beijing handily withstood the assault.
She didnt spare her own Jewishness, or larger Jewish sensibili-
ties. (At least one of her jokes invoked the Nazi Holocaust and
sparked an outcry from the Anti-Defamation League.) But offstage she
took her Jewish identity seriously. Just last March, she quietly got

Hillbarn Theatre has begun its
74th season with an ambitious
musical undertaking, Funny
Girl.
Loosely based on the life of
comedienne Fanny Brice, the
show premiered on Broadway in
1964 and became a popular lm in
1968. Both starred Barbra
Streisand as Fanny.
Melissa WolfKlain takes on that
daunting role and does it more
than ample justice with her terric
singing, acting, dancing and
comic timing.
Written by Isobel Lennart, the
story takes place shortly before
and after World War I as Fanny
breaks into show business and
becomes a star in the Ziegfeld
Follies.
During that time, she meets the
handsome, charming Nick
Arnstein (William Giammona), a
gambler. Giammona looks the
part of Nick, but his acting can be
stiff, and theres not much chem-
istry between him and WolfKlain.
They marry and have a daughter,
but his involvement in a shady
bond deal lands him in prison for
18 months and leads to the end of
their marriage.
Jule Stynes music, with lyrics
by Bob Merrill, includes such
favorites as Im the Greatest
Star, People and Dont Rain
on My Parade, all sung by Fanny.
Besides Nick, another impor-
tant man in her life is her long-
time, loyal friend, Eddie Ryan
(Justin Travis Buchs). Hes a
vaudeville dancer who coaches her
early in her career and quietly car-
ries a torch for her. Buchs is an
accomplished dancer who stands
out in Cornet Man and Rat-tat-
tat-tat.
Other major figures are Mrs.
Brice (Tracy Chiappone), Fannys
mother; Emma (Jenifer Butler),
her friend and assistant; and
Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. (Dennis M.
Lickteig), Follies producer.
The Hillbarn production features
an outstanding ensemble of
dancers executing choreography
by James Zongus. Seated on a
platform behind a new wall in the
theater, the 17-piece orchestra is
led by musical director Joe
Murphy.
Hillbarns new executive artistic
director, Dan Demers, directs the
show and does his best to keep it
moving smoothly on Hillbarns
small stage. Despite the unusual
use of a proscenium (design by
Kuo-Hao Lo), the many scene
changes lend an episodic feeling,
especially in the second act.
Costumes by Lisa Cross provide
WolfKlain and the women dancers
with one lovely outt after anoth-
er. Don Coluzzis lighting design
isnt up to his usual standards.
Fanny Brice was born in New
Yorks Lower East Side in 1891
and died in 1951 at the age of 59.
Besides her stage and lm work,
she created a popular radio charac-
ter, Baby Snooks.
Funny Girl will continue at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E.
Hillsdale Blvd., Foster City,
through Sept. 21. For tickets and
information call (650) 349-6411

closely by her husbands suicide.
Rivers style was hard-driving from the
start and her material only got sharper.
She was ready to slam anyone. A favored
target was Elizabeth Taylors weight (her
favorite food is seconds), but the comedi-
an kept current with verbal assaults on
Miley Cyrus and other newcomers.
With her raspy voice and brash New York
accent, Rivers turned the red carpet of the
Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes into a
stalking ground for E! Entertainment. Her
familiar query Who are you wearing?
would quickly give way to such snarky
commentary as her assessment of Adeles
Grammy outfit: The singer looked like she
was sitting on a teapot.
The barbs could turn inward as well, with
Rivers mocking everything from her pro-
claimed lack of sex appeal (my best birth
control now is just to leave the lights on)
to her own mortality.
In 2007, Rivers and her partner-in-
slime, daughter Melissa, were dropped by
their new employer, the TV Guide
Channel, and replaced by actress Lisa
Rinna. But the Rivers women found new
success on E! with Fashion Police,
which Rivers hosted and her daughter pro-
duced.
Joan Rivers never relaxed, always look-
ing for the next and better punchline.
The trouble with me is, I make jokes
too often, she told the AP in 2013, just
days after the death of her older sister. I
was making jokes yesterday at the funeral
home. Thats how I get through life. Life
is SO difficult everybodys been
through something! But you laugh at it, it
becomes smaller.
She had faced true crisis in the mid-
1980s. Edgar Rosenberg, her husband of
23 years, committed suicide in 1987 after
she was fired from her Fox talk show,
which he produced. The shows failure was
a major factor, Rivers said. Rosenbergs
suicide also temporarily derailed her
career.
Nobody wants to see someone whose
husband has killed himself do comedy four
weeks later, she told The New York Times
in 1990.
Rivers had originally entered show busi-
ness with the dream of being an actress,
but comedy was a way to pay the bills
while she auditioned for dramatic roles.
Somebody said, You can make six dol-
lars standing up in a club, she told the
AP, and I said, Here I go! It was better
than typing all day.
In the early 1960s, comedy was a mans
game and the only women comics she
could look to were Totie Fields and Phyllis
Diller. But she worked her way up from
local clubs in New York until, in 1965, she
landed her big break on The Toni ght
Show after numerous rejections. God,
youre funny. Youre going to be a star,
host Johnny Carson told her after she had
rocked the audience with laughter.
Her nightclub career prospered and by
late that year she had recorded her first
comedy album, Joan Rivers Presents Mr.
Phyllis and Other Funny Stories. Her per-
sonal life picked up as well: She met
British producer Rosenberg and they mar-
ried after a four-day courtship.
Rivers hosted a morning talk show on
NBC in 1968 and, the next year, made her
Las Vegas debut with female comedians
still a relative rarity.
To control an audience is a very mascu-
line thing, Rivers told the Los Angeles
Times in 1977. The minute a lady is in
any form of power, they (the public) total-
ly strip away your femininity which
isnt so. Catherine the Great had a great
time.
In 1978, she wrote, directed and co-
starred in the movie Rabbit Test. It had
an intriguing premise Billy Crystal as a
man who gets pregnant but was poorly
received. In 1983, though, she scored a
coup when she was named permanent guest
host for Carson on Tonight.
Although she drew good ratings, NBC
hesitated in renewing her contract three
years later. Fledgling network Fox jumped
in with an offer of her own late-night
show.
She launched The Late Show Starring
Joan Rivers on Fox in 1986, but the ven-
ture lasted just a season and came at a
heavy price: Carson cut ties with her when
she surprised him by becoming a competi-
tor.
Carson kept publicly silent about her
defection but referred obliquely to his new
rival in his monologue on the day her
show debuted.
There are a lot of big confrontations
this week, Carson said as the audience
giggled expectantly. Reagan and
Gorbachev, the Mets versus the Astros,
and me versus The Honeymooners l ost
episodes.
Her show was gone in a year and she
would declare that she had been raped by
Fox; three months later, her husband was
found dead.
It took two years to get her career going
again, and then she didnt stop. Rivers
appeared at clubs and on TV shows includ-
ing Hollywood Squares. She appeared on
Broadway and released more comedy
albums and books, most recently Diary
of a Mad Diva.
She was born Joan Molinsky in
Brooklyn to Russian immigrants Meyer
Molinsky, a doctor, and Beatrice. Rivers
had a privileged upbringing but struggled
with weight she was a self-proclaimed
fatty as a child and recalled using
make-believe as an escape. After graduat-
ing from Barnard College in 1954, she
went to work as a department store fashion
coordinator before she turned to comedy
clubs. She had a six-month marriage to
Jimmy Sanger.
In recent years, Rivers was a familiar
face on TV shopping channel QVC, hawk-
ing her line of jewelry, and won the reality
show Celebrity Apprentice by beating
out her bitter adversary, poker champ
Annie Duke. In 2010, she was featured in
the documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of
Work.
She never let age, or anything, make her
sentimental. Earlier in 2014, she got
inked: a half-inch-tall tattoo, 6M, on
the inside of her arm representing 6 mil-
lion Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust. In
2013, she brashly pledged to work forev-
er.
You never relax and say, Well, here I
am! she declared. You always think, Is
this gonna be OK? I have never taken any-
thing for granted.
Survivors include her daughter, Melissa
and a grandson, Cooper.
JOAN
inked at a Manhattan tattoo parlor with a
tiny 6M on the inside of her arm, a per-
sonal reminder of the six million Jews who
died under the Nazis.
For her, even the Grim Reaper was fair
game.
Last summer, Rivers then 80 rocked
her audience at a Manhattan club when, mid-
way through her set, she pretended to have a
seizure. A moment later, satised she had
punked the room, she teased those present
by observing how they would have loved to
see her drop dead in mid-act. Sure, it would
be shocking and sad, she chortled. But what
a great story to be able to tell afterward!
Then it was on with the show.
Atiny dynamo, Rivers never, decade after
decade, slowed her manic pace, juggling
standup dates, TV shows, books, and her
jewelry and fashion line, with blatant disre-
gard for her accumulating years.
I have never wanted to be a day less than
I am, she insisted during that 2013 inter-
view. People say, 'I wish I were 30 again.
Nahhh! Im very happy HERE. Its great. It
gets better and better. And then, of course,
we die.
But even acknowledging the stale breath
of mortality, Rivers pledged to work for-
ever, and, meanwhile, gave the nger to
the ravages of aging: She was an early and
voracious proponent of cosmetic surgery,
which increasingly gave her the appearance
of a hyperactive porcelain doll, and also
served her with a wealth of material for
jokes. (Item: Ive had so much plastic sur-
gery, when I die they will donate my body
to Tupperware.)
She might never have become a comedi-
an. Her rst love was fashion while still
in school, she was a fashion coordinator
for a New York department store and from
her earliest TV appearances, however rau-
cous, she arrived stylishly clad.
And had she had her druthers as an enter-
tainer, she would have been an actress play-
ing lots of different roles, not just Joan
Rivers. But comedy became an early way to
pay the bills. Then it kept on paying.
In this way, she pierced the all-male bas-
tion of standup comedy. She was a pioneer
and remains one. She made the world safe
for all the women comedians who have fol-
lowed in her wake.
But Rivers was never accepted as one of
the guys. In a career that spanned a half-
century, and repeatedly took her to the
heights of success, she never was part of
that or any In crowd. (Im in nobodys
circle, she once said. Ive always been an
outsider.) Their disapproval must have
been a point of pride for her. Also an endur-
ing sore point.
And it was surely a key to her charm. A
life-long free agent, Rivers was always a
truth teller without fear or favor. She was
beholden to no one except her fans, who, at
times, she made bristle or cringe at her out-
spokenness. But she never failed to make
them laugh.

Broadway San Jose is hosting a
touring production of Wicked
with everything that has made the
musical such a huge hit ever since
it opened on Broadway nearly 11
years ago.
Wicked is regarded as a pre-
quel to The Wizard of Oz, the
1939 lm. Audience members will
have fun identifying sly refer-
ences to the lm.
Wicked focuses on the two
witches in the lm. However, the
wicked one doesnt start that way,
nor does the good one begin as
quite so virtuous.
Elphaba (Emmy Raver-
Lampman, the standby for Emma
Hunton) is the green-toned young
woman who goes to Shiz, a col-
lege in Oz run by Madame
Morrible (Alison Fraser).
Shunned by nearly everyone,
the studious Elphaba is there to
take care of her younger sister,
Nessarose (Jenny Florkowski),
who uses a wheelchair.
Also new on campus is Glinda
(Chandra Lee Schwartz), a beauti-
ful, conceited, vacuous blonde.
Much to their mutual consterna-
tion, theyre roommates.
The two develop a friendship
even though both are attracted to
another new student, the hand-
some, rich Fiyero (Nick Adams),
who prides himself on Dancing
Through Life.
In the meantime, Elphaba real-
izes that theres oppression of
people who are different or who
espouse opposing views. She
decides to tell the Wonderful
Wizard of Oz (Tim Kazurinsky).
Shes bitterly disappointed when
she learns the truth about him, but
she also discovers her magical
powers.
As she endures more disap-
pointments, she vows that No
Good Deed will go unpunished
and becomes known as the Wicked
Witch. For Glindas part, she
matures and becomes more
insightful and good.
Stephen Schwartzs music and
lyrics are memorably tuneful. Two
of the best songs are Popular,
sung by the bouncy Glinda as she
decides to give Elphaba a
makeover, and Defying Gravity,
sung by Elphaba and Glinda as the
rousing end to the rst act.
Touring productions can some-
times seem tired and low budget,
but not this one. The singing,
dancing and acting are all first
rate, especially by Raver-
Lampman as Elphaba and
Schwartz as Glinda.
Original director Joe Montello
has kept the large cast razor-
sharp, just as the original musical
stager, Wayne Cilento, has done
with the choreography.
Fanciful costumes by Susan
Hilferty and ingenious sets by
Eugene Lee also come from the
original production, as do the
sound by Tony Meola and light-
ing by Kenneth Posner.
Wicked had its pre-Broadway
world premiere in San Francisco
in 2003. It returned to the city in
2005, 2009 and 2013 and has
been seen throughout the world.
It will continue at the San Jose

through Sept. 14. For tickets and

THE LEGEND OF CNAC: CHINA
NATIONAL AVIATION CORPORA-
TI ON, 19291949, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM.
From its uncertain beginnings to its suc-
cesses as Asias rst sustained commercial
airline, the China National Aviation
Corporation blazed a trail unlike any other
in the history of commercial air transport.
For two decades, CNAC pioneered air opera-
tions over much of the worlds most chal-
lenging terrain. These included the route
system over the Himalaya, an area between
India and China known as the Hump.
Daring to y at extreme altitudes through all
types of harsh weather conditions, the
skilled and adventurous pilots of CNAC
established an aerial lifeline to China. The
companys achievements occurred in the
midst of and were dramatically inuenced
by a period of continuous political

COURTESY OF THE MARS AND DALBY FAMILIES
Captain James M.Dalby CNAC ight jacket c.1943.On display as part of The Legend of CNAC:
China National Aviation Corporation,1929-1949,at the San Francisco Airport Museum through
Feb. 6, 2015.
By Jake Coyle
There are many differences between
Americas troubled exit from Iraq and its ram-
shackle retreat from Vietnam. But the U.S.
ight from Saigon as seen in Rory Kennedys
documentary Last Days in Vietnam has
incredible, unmistakable resonance on the
political, ethical and military confusion that
occurs when, after years of war, a far-away
nation pulls up stakes.
These are scenes of a humbled superpower
and the terrifying vacuum left behind. South
Vietnamese soldiers (allies to the U.S.
through years of combat) mobbing the last
World Airways ight out of Da Nang as it
moves down the runway. Packed refugees
crouching around the pool of the U.S.
embassy in Saigon. Helicopters being pushed
into the ocean so that more could land on a
destroyer escort. (The boat, the Kirk, received
17 helicopter loads of refugees.)
It looked like something out of Exodus,
remembers an American soldier in the lm.
The end came two years after a 1973 peace
accord, one celebrated with Bloody Marys at
the U.S. embassy. But the agreement between
President Richard Nixon and the North
Vietnamese Army proved empty. After Nixon
was impeached, North Vietnam launched a
major attack on the South, and streamed down
the coast largely unabated. The U.S., tired
from the long, aimless war, no longer put up
a ght. President Gerald Ford couldnt even
get Congress to approve some $700 million
in aid, leaving little support for South
Vietnam.
In April 1975, Armed Forces Radio signaled
the retreat with a planned code: Bing
Crosbys White Christmas.
Kennedy, the youngest of Bobby
Kennedys 11 children and a seasoned lm-
maker, lls her lm with particular stories
from the desperate nal hours in Saigon.
Many of the tales are remarkable, none more
so than the Vietnamese helicopter pilot who
ew his family on a large Chinook to the
Kirk. Since the helicopter was too large to
land on the small boat, his family jumped to
the ship; a baby was tossed. The pilot then
hovered over the water before jumping into
the ocean and swimming to the ship.
Just as the entire war had been, the exit was
a moral quagmire. Who stays, who goes?
says Capt. Stuart Herrington. For those that
had fought for the South, staying meant
death, prison or reeducation camps.
U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin had
delayed the evacuation until the very end,
fearful of setting off a panic. That meant that
preferable plans for airlifts or cargo ships
were jettisoned for helicopters, which could
carry fewer refugees.
But there are countless stories here of
American soldiers often against orders
sneaking out as many of their Vietnamese
colleagues as possible. Martin lled the heli-
copters with South Vietnamese, knowing as
soon as the last American was out, the heli-
copters would stop.
The nal moment, too, was mishandled.
Henry Kissinger announced the nal withdraw
of troops, only to then discover there were
still a handful of Marines left on a rooftop.
There was another horrendous screw-up,
groans Kissinger.
While the U.S. attempts to counter ISIS
militants in Iraq, Last Days of Vietnam Iraq
is eerily foreboding for its implicit warnings
to the fallout of political abandonment. But
its also, on a more micro level, inspiring.
Even in failed wars, lives can be saved.

Dont Cook Tonight!
and townhomes, as well as in outdoor seat-
ing areas in restaurants.
Ultimately, the council directed staff to
draft an amendment that would ban smoking
in all rental apartment complexes and
require those who own their own condo-
miniums or townhouses to only smoke
indoors with the windows closed. The coun-
cil also indicated it wanted to revisit the rule
six months after implementation.
Sixty-four percent of the residents of
Foster City live in multifamily residences
or units so, by banning smoking in apart-
ments, it took a big bite in protecting the
residents, Councilman Steve Okamoto
said.
However, the council could not come to a
decision on further regulating smoking in
restaurants and the current law, which per-
mits smoking in up to 50 percent of outdoor
seating areas, stands. Waterfront Pizza, a
Mediterranean restaurant with an owner who
said it relies on its ability to serve hookah,
has been subject of council discord.
Councilman Gary Pollard abstained from
voting on a motion to grandfather
Waterfront Pizza as exempt under a new law.
The vote was split and prevented the council
from moving forward.
I abstained because I did not want the
word grandfathered or the name of a restau-
rant put into an ordinance. So I gured
Im going to abstain because Im not happy
with either way its written, Pollard said.
At the end of the day, I think everybody
got what they wanted, in my opinion.
Because they dont have a time limit nor are
they grandfathered forever. Its just this way
if someone wants to bring it up and change
it, well try again.
The council has spent more than a year
going back and forth on how to deter sec-
ondhand smoke by voting in one direction
then changing its course at subsequent
meetings.
Mayor Charlie Bronitsky wrote in an
email, the smoking ordinance is not yet
nal and even now there are unresolved
issues. I will continue to work to get it com-
pleted this year.
The council did make signicant progress
in July after choosing to table the two con-
troversial issues to move forward on what it
unanimously agreed.
As of Wednesday, smoking is prohibited
on city-owned property such as parks and
streets, at public events and within a 50-
foot buffer zone from entrances to commer-
cial spaces. The regulation does allow sin-
gle-family home owners to smoke on their
properties.
Enforcing the new ordinance will be a
combination of policing and code enforce-
ment, said Andra Lorenz, management ana-
lyst in the city managers ofce.
If the smoking ban in apartments passes
and a landlord fails to post signs or abide by
the rules, Lorenz said code enforcement
would be processed through the Community
Development Department.
Our goal isnt nes and punishment, our
goal is really the protection of public
health, Lorenz said.
Police Capt. Joe Pierucci said police
would rst focus on education but will issue
nes if necessary.
We will look for voluntary compliance
and we will encourage our ofcers to use
whatever discretion is warranted. And keep
the spirit of the law in mind and use whatev-
er action they can to remedy the situation,
Pierucci said.
The city will focus on education until the
beginning of next year and a rst offense
will result in a warning. Starting in 2015,
penalties for smoking in prohibited areas
would be $250 for the rst offense, $500 for
the second and $1,000 for the third offense
and thereafter.
Pollard said although the council has
made headway in the new ordinance, there is
still work to be done and more opportuni-
ties for the public to weigh in.
All we did [Tuesday] was vote in favor to
send it to staff to come back with the lan-
guage so lets see what the language is and
thatll give people the opportunities to talk
about it, Pollard said. The soap opera will
continue.

notice of the council meeting and the city
did not rst undertake an environmental
impact report on the project.
In July, the council voted 3-2, with coun-
cilmen Matt Grocott and Cameron Johnson
dissenting, to prohibit parking on the
citys main gateway between 7 a.m. and 6
p.m. on weekdays as a way to ease conges-
tion by restriping it two lanes in both direc-
tions.
Residents of Holly Street and the Greater
East San Carlos neighborhood were out-
raged about the loss of their parking for the
majority of the day and some argued the
changes were unnecessary.
Martinez said Thursday that the issue is
less about parking as it is public safety and
the city fast-tracking a project that will sub-
stantially change Holly Streets character
without adequate environmental review. The
city used a parking ordinance to disguise its
actual plan of restriping the street from two
to four lanes, he said.
It is a blatant attempt to pull the wool
over our eyes, Martinez said.
Rubens said the California
Environmental Quality Act makes exemp-
tions for some city actions like restriping
of streets which it leaves to the authority of
the public works director. Otherwise, for
example, cities would spend extra time and
money on environmental reviews every
time a curb needed red paint.
The planned parking changes were the
only aspect that required council approval,
Rubens said.
Were very comfortable that were on
solid ground with these exemptions, he
said.
The lawsuit also challenges the citys
timeline of approval, claiming the 4x7
postcard notice mailed to residents was
inadequate because it failed to specify that
the proposed parking ordinance included
the bigger project. Therefore, the public
couldnt decide whether to attend the July 14
public meeting and speak up, Martinez said.
If so, Rubens said, why where the council
chambers lled to capacity at the meeting?
Virtually the entire neighborhood turned
out, Rubens said. Nobody was confused
by this alleged notice.
The notice was just a courtesy anyway and
not legally required, he said.
Martinez countered that turnout should
not be mistaken for the adequate notice
required.
The lawsuit includes other disagreements
over technicalities. Martinez claims a July
28 letter sent to the city and Rubens
informed them they violated the Brown Act
with its lack of notice. Another letter was
sent Aug. 14. Rubens said the rst letter was
not a legal notice to x an alleged violation
because it was only one paragraph in a big-
ger message about a pending public records
act request.
Prior to the lawsuits ling, the Greater
East San Carlos neighborhood group
ramped up opposition efforts by posting
about 100 signs claiming the changes of
the street into the Holly Highway are a
threat to childrens safety.
GESC President Ben Fuller said the lack of
an EIR means the city is not interested at
looking at trafc-easing alternatives like
Brittan Avenue, Harbor Boulevard or
Crestview Drive.
Holly Street is certainly part of the solu-
tion but is it the only game in town? he
asked.
Mayor Mark Olbert said he is disappoint-
ed with the lawsuit because, while individu-
als have the right to sue, the litigation will
now likely stymie conversations on poten-
tial mitigation measures like larger drive-
ways.
We directed staff to come back with
potential improvements to deal with the
consequences. I was looking forward to hav-
ing those discussions in September but now
Im not sure what will happen. It would be a
little awkward to have those conversations
with a lawsuit happening, he said.
While he understands the arguments about
pedestrian and childrens safety, Olbert said
he disagrees with the lawsuits contention
about the streets overhaul altering the
neighborhood.
Its been a major road and artery for a
long time, at least a generation, Olbert
said. I feel for the people who are there but
in terms of extending the parking restric-
tions, I hardly think it fundamentally
changes the character of the street.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 23
ment likely coincides with some of his
and the districts legal matters being
cleared.
Within the past few years, Grenell
has worked amidst a civil grand jury
investigation into the district, allega-
tions of harassment and the California
Fair Political Practices Commissions
investigation into the California
Maritime Infrastructure Bank and
Authority, of which he is president.
I knew Peter was of retirement age
and eligible for retirement, so theres
been some question as to how much
longer he would serve, Holsinger
said. I think having those complaints
led possibly delayed his decision to
retire. I think the contract exten-
sion perhaps subtlety, without us
knowing, was his was of saying hes
going to ght this thing until its
done.
Tucker and Holsinger said Grenell
has been cleared of any impropriety,
however, the District Attorneys Ofce
recently received a complaint regard-
ing the bank and is making inquiries.
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan led
a harassment complaint against
Grenell and expressed concerns about
district resources being used for the
infrastructure bank. Brennan, Tucker
and Parravano each said they were
interviewed by an investigator with
the District Attorneys Ofce.
Assistant District Attorney Al
Serrato said a letter was sent to the dis-
tricts counsel soliciting information
regarding the bank. Serrato said the
District Attorneys Ofce is making
preliminary inquiries and has not com-
mitted to or ruled out a formal investi-
gation.
Holsinger and Tucker said they are
encouraged it wont turn into a formal
investigation and clouding Grenells
reputation is unwarranted.
I think its taken an emotional toll
to be accused and threatened and chal-
lenged the way that he has. Sabrina
Brennan has been punitive in her
dealings with him, Holsinger said.
But the reality is hes handled himself
professionally throughout.
Brennan previously stated she was
discriminated against by Grenell and
often felt uncomfortable visiting the
districts office. Brennan said she
couldnt comment on the district attor-
neys investigation but was surprised
by Grenells announcement as his con-
tract was recently renewed.
Grenell said his disputes with
Brennan, the civil grand jury report
and other investigation did not inu-
ence the timing of his decision.
I had started thinking about retire-
ment before [Brennan] joined the
board and, again, there have been
things that I was in the middle of that I
wanted to see through, Grenell said.
Grenell said he wanted to make sure
the districts start of its strategic busi-
ness plan went smoothly, ensure sev-
eral infrastructure developments and
projects benefiting the public were
addressed and is working to nalize
permits for improvements to the West
Trail near Mavericks.
Grenell said he also wants to ensure
the districts more than $19 million
debt issued for harbor and marina
developments will be retired a year
early.
The district had accrued the debt just
before Grenell started and Tucker cred-
its him for keeping the district aoat
and improving its nances.
This man took this agency and 17
years later its much better than it was.
Im very proud of the work he did. Hes
done nothing but good for us, Tucker
said. I think it was just his time and
he chose his time and he did it his way
so to speak.
Grenell said he has much to be proud
of and is thankful for district staff. As
for the political controversy, he said it
comes with the territory of a divided
governing body.
In my tenure, there have been peri-
ods where things were relatively calm,
comparatively other times its been a
bit more turbulent. Thats just part of
the political process, the democratic
process, Grenell said. So you work
with it, deal with it, and again, always
keeping your mind of whats the pur-
pose of the agency, the district? What
are you supposed to be doing? And
thats what I, and what the rest of staff,
continue to focus on. Taking care of
business.
The commissioners were mixed as to
when they would start the process of
hiring a new general manager. Tucker
and Parravano said they wish to start
looking immediately as it will take
time to find a qualified applicant.
Holsinger said he thinks it best to wait
until after the election and Parravano
agreed that would be when a nal deci-
sion is made.
To lose somebody like your general
manager like that, unannounced to me,
was a game changer, Parravano said.
I think the idea that hes leaving,
theres a lot of knowledge that goes
with Mr. Grenell. A lot of knowledge
about coastal communities, harbors
and ports, legislation, the man was
like an encyclopedia on coastal legis-
lation. He was very focused on the
human values that are associated with
the coastal communities and that was
one of his strengths.

SANTACLARITA It appears as if
anything might be possible in
Utopia.
Whether the masterminds behind
the new Fox unscripted society-build-
ing series are ensuring participants
can legally hunt, readying for wild-
res or accounting for a cast members
impending pregnancy, theyve seem-
ingly prepared for every possible situ-
ation at the rural compound where
Utopia is being lmed. Except for
one: What if nobody watches?
Thats not a scenario the creators of
this human ant farm even want to con-
sider.
Realistically, I dont know, con-
ceded executive producer Conrad Green
in his trailer ofce across from the
Utopia set a few days before the par-
ticipants or pioneers, as theyre
called moved onto a made-over
Santa Clarita, California, movie
ranch. The hope, of course, is that it
will be a huge success and go on for
much more than a year.
Based on a Dutch format, the U.S.
version of Utopia is billed as a 365-
day-long social experiment where 15
folks have been selected to live and
work together on a bare-bones plot of
land while being lmed by 130 cam-
eras. Unlike similar reality TV trials
like Survivor and Big Brother,
theres no host, competition or prize.
There arent even humans carrying
around cameras.
The action is captured entirely by
remote-controlled gizmos positioned
in trees, on rocks and throughout the
only pair of buildings on the Utopia
site: a small stable stocked with a
chicken coop and two dairy cows, and
a large open-air barn where the cast
can nd shade and sleep. The footage
will be overseen, edited and streamed
from a complex of trailers steps away
from the set.
Green said the producers cast
Utopians with contrasting personali-
ties in hopes that the ambitious show
wouldnt simply result in a televised
hippy commune. The pioneers
include a belly dancer, Southern pastor
and a pregnant woman due in
December. The series will feature a
monthly elimination that will keep
the cast changing throughout the life
of Utopia.
My biggest fear is that its bor-
ing, said Green.

GET FUZZY
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be wary of anyone who
comes on too strong. Before opting to let someone
make a decision for you, make sure there are no
ulterior motives that can blindside you at a later date.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be prepared to go over
everything you do in detail. Household expenses will
be troublesome if you have been too generous with
loved ones. Running your home more efciently will
ease your stress.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You will receive advice
from an unusual and unexpected source. If you are
open-minded, you will discover that the information
provided holds a worthwhile solution to a dilemma.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be conscientious
when it comes to money matters. Cautious investing
can improve your standard of living. You can have
fun without going overboard. A strict budget will
ensure peace of mind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others may not
understand your methods. Before you make a hasty
decision, talk over your plans to anyone who will
be affected by the choices you make. Youll gain
support if you ask rst.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Think twice before
baring your emotions to a new acquaintance. Your
personal secrets will be made public if you arent
careful. Protect against embarrassment and damage
to your reputation.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Find a group that you
feel akin to and make a contribution. Sharing your
knowledge and experience will be fullling and will
give you the chance to make new friends.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are likely to end
up miserable and alone if you are disagreeable. Being
judgmental or disapproving of others will alienate you
from your peers. Make an effort to get along.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) New opportunities and
interests will arise if you keep company with like-
minded people. Stimulate your curiosity by going to as
many functions as possible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you are feeling
restless, its time for a change. Consider making
some adjustments to your living space. Home
improvements will lead to increased property values
and greater comfort.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You and your family
members will be on different wavelengths. You can
avoid conicts if you decide to work on personal
projects. This will protect you from interference.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Being willing to go the extra
mile at work will pay big dividends. Your name will
move to the top of the promotion list if you put your
nose to the grindstone.

WORLD 31
By Julie Pace
NEWPORT, Wales President
Barack Obama and British Prime
Minister David Cameron pressed
fellow NATO leaders Thursday to
confront the brutal and poison-
ous Islamic State militant group
that is wreaking havoc in Iraq and
Syria and urged regional part-
ners like Jordan and Turkey to join
the effort as well.
As leaders of the Western
alliance gathered for a two-day
summit, Obama and Cameron
worked to begin forming a coali-
tion of nations that could combat
the extremists through military
power, diplomatic pressure and
economic penalties.
Those who want to adopt an
isolationist approach misunder-
stand the nature of security in the
21st century, they wrote in a
joint editorial published as the
meetings began. Developments
in other parts of the world, partic-
ularly in Iraq and Syria, threaten
our security at home.
While some NATO leaders talked
tough about the threat posed by
the Islamic State group, the
alliance made no specic pledges
of action. NATO Secretary-General
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he
believed the broader international
community has an obligation to
stop the Islamic State from
advancing further and would seri-
ously consider requests for assis-
tance, particularly from the Iraqi
government.
The Islamic State group moved
up the list of international priori-
ties as the militants pressed
through Iraq with lighting speed
earlier this year. The group, which
seeks to create a caliphate, or
Islamist nation-state, in the
Mideast, is considered even more
merciless toward its enemies than
the al-Qaida terror network, and
intelligence officials across the
world warn that with hundreds of
Westerners ghting for them, it
may soon seek to seed its violence
beyond its declared borders.
The U.S. began launching
airstrikes against militant targets
in Iraq last month, with Britain
joining American forces in
humanitarian airdrops to besieged
minority populations. The mili-
tants killing of two American
journalists inside Syria has raised
discussion of targeting the group
there as well.
White House ofcials said they
did not expect NATO to commit to
a military mission against the
group during the summit. Still,
they raised the prospect that the
end of NATOs combat mission in
Afghanistan an effort that has
consumed the alliance for more
than a decade could allow mem-
ber states to focus their attention
elsewhere.
What you see the alliance
doing at this summit is looking at
more than one direction at a time,
said Douglas Lute, the U.S. ambas-
sador to NATO.
Indeed, the threat posed by the
Islamic State overshadowed some
of the NATO summits official
agenda, which was intended to
focus on celebrating the Afghan
drawdown of troops and construct-
ing a rapid response force on the
alliances eastern ank that could
serve as a deterrent to Russian
aggression. Obama and European
leaders met with Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko in a
show of solidarity with his embat-
tled nation.

MEROM GOLAN, Golan
Heights For the rst time in the
Syrian civil war, al-Qaida ghters
are hunkered down on Israels
doorstep, and Israelis in the lush,
hilly Golan Heights who have
long considered Syrian President
Bashar Assad their bitter foe are
now worried about something
more ominous that they could
become the militants next target.
The push into the Golan by the
Nusra Front, as al-Qaidas branch
in Syria is known, comes just two
weeks after Israel ended a 50-day
war against Hamas on its southern
border with the Gaza Strip, giving
the conict-weary nation another
cause for concern.
Israelis in the Golan a long-
disputed territory that marks the
frontier between the two countries
have grown accustomed to hear-
ing the sound of distant battles
between rival forces in Syrias
civil war.
But last weeks seizure of the
strategic Quneitra border crossing
by a mix of rebels including the
Nusra Front, fighters of the
Western-backed Free Syrian Army
and others has created an
unprecedented situation that has
brought the extremists to within
just a few meters (yards) of Israeli
positions.
The Syrian government is not
our cup of tea, said Gabi Kuniel,
an Israeli who tends vineyards
recently damaged by mortar shells
when the violence spilled over to
the Israeli-held side of the strate-
gic Golan Heights.
But we prefer that the Syrian
army controls this region and not
a group of radical al-Qaida Muslim
people, he said Wednesday, sit-
ting behind a concrete structure
near his elds to stay out of the
line of re.
As he spoke, heavy machine
gunre could be heard in the dis-
tance. Earlier, a plume of smoke
rose from the Syrian side of the
frontier fence.
For the past three years, Israelis
in the Golan have had a relatively
safe front seat view of the civil
war as Syrian government forces
battled rebels attempting to wrest
control of the area.
But now the Nusra Front and the
other rebels move around in cam-
ouaged trucks and on foot with
guns slung over their shoulders, in
some cases just 50 meters (yards)
away from Israeli military out-
posts and Israeli farmers elds.
Some Israelis are convinced its a
matter of time before the Islamic
radicals set their sights on them.
Theyll come at us in the end, I
have no doubt, said Yehiel Gadis,
56, peering through a small pair
of binoculars at an Israeli lookout
point across from Syrias Quneitra
crossing.
Israelis worry with Syrian al-Qaida on doorstep
