ing, contributions by the city from the general
fund and capital improvements budget, as well
as donations by residents.
Sommer credited county Supervisor Dave
Pine for spearheading the effort to land the grant
funding, and he will be present during the council meeting to be recognized for his work.
The Grand Avenue library is a branch of the
citys main library, 840 W. Orange Ave.
South San Francisco officials have placed a
half-cent sales tax measure on the fall ballot
which, if approved, would in part pay toward the
reconstruction of the citys main library, which
some officials claim is outdated and incapable of
addressing its current demand of service.
Some residents do not know that the Grand
Avenue library exists, said Sommer, which is
why the proposed renovations will include new
signs posted in front of the building, near the
entrance on Walnut Avenue.
The citys Planning Commission approved
the proposed renovations during a meeting last
month.
The Grand Avenue library offers a variety of
amenities beyond simple access to books and
education programs, which is part of the reason
the renovations are required, said Sommer.
Free meals are served at the site, and the new
restroom will provide residents greater access to
enjoying them in a clean and sanitary fashion,
said Sommer.
Over the summer, more than 2,000 adults and
students ate free meals at the library, according
to Sommer.
There are also a variety of after-school programs targeted for high school students offered
at the library, said Sommer, and the new 1,171-
square-foot outdoor patio will provide a separate noise buffer to library users who prefer
peace and quiet while they browse or read
books.
The patio, which will also feature a
retractable awning, is one of the few amenities
that have been tacked on to the library site,
which was built in 1917, and was most recently
seismically renovated in 1997.
As officials consider accepting grant money
which will be used to update the library site, a
community outreach campaign has illustrated a
demand to refresh the systems services as well,
said Sommer.
Residents are interested in more material that
is accessible electronically on tablets or other
mobile devices, as well as more education
courses for seniors and adults who are looking
for opportunities to become more technologically savvy, said Sommer.
Amidst an effort to update the variety of services offered by the library system, Sommer said
she appreciated the collaborative effort that has
brought the renovations to the precipice of
fruition.
This is our shot to bring the library a little bit
more into the 21st century, and make it a real
fun destination spot, she said.

Plus, the city will receive its own eye-catching opportunity by being able to run free

The contract also leaves space for Caltrans

Harry Reid
Israel.
Reid announced his support on Sunday,
pledging to do everything in my power to
support the pact.
Only two Senate Democrats Chuck
Schumer of New York and Robert Menendez
of New Jersey have announced opposition
to the deal.
Instead, steady stream of Democrats have
say the agreement makes too many concessions to Iran and could actually enable that
country to become a nuclear-armed state.
Congress plans a vote next month on a resolution disapproving of the deal, which Obama
has threatened to veto. Opponents would then
need two-thirds majorities in the House and the
Senate to override.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
already has said House Democratic supporters
have the votes necessary to sustain Obamas
veto despite unanimous GOP opposition.
Reid said he believes that the deal was the
best that could be achieved.
First, this is a good agreement on the merits, imposing the toughest inspections and verification regime in history, and a diplomatic
solution is certainly less costly in American
blood and treasure than any possible military
option, Reid said.
their friend Anthony Sadler and British businessman Chris Norman, all jumped on the
gunman as he moved through the train with an
assault rifle strapped to his chest. The four
received Frances highest award, the Legion
dHonneur, on Monday.
Had it not been for this heroic quartet, Im
quite sure that today we would be sitting here
discussing a bloodbath instead of what, in
fact, we are going to discuss, James said during a Pentagon press conference announcing
the units award nomination. Airman Stone
and his friends personified service before self:
no question about it. Their fearlessness,
courage, and selflessness should inspire all of
us, and thanks to them, no one died on that
high-speed European train on Friday.
OPINION
e have the means to transform the world for the better. Let us start with our
beloved communities of Belmont,
Hillsborough, Pacica, Burlingame, San
Mateo, San Bruno, Redwood City, etc. From
here, there is no limit to what we can
accomplish. That is what I said to members
of the San Mateo Rotary Club at a function
two weeks ago when I had the honor of
being its guest
speaker.
Among other
things, I discussed the importance of each of
us striving to be a
bright light in the
dark corridors of
our world by
engaging our
communities and
paying it forward
for less fortunate
individuals. I also Jonathan Madison
discussed the various feedback I received
from a number of readers of the Daily
Journal in regards to my column. Some suggest that my column is nothing more than a
naive and romanticized outlook of reality.
Fortunately, many others have commended
my column for just the opposite reecting a positive outlook on a world painted
consistently by the media as pessimistic and
hopeless.
My response to those who suggest that I
should be less optimistic in my pieces is that
they see a fundamentally different world
than I do. Others have courage to focus on
the possibility of success in the face of failure, or to have faith amidst great trials and
tribulation. Now, more than ever, there is an
urgent need to maintain a vision and hope to
see what others cannot amidst cynicism and
pessimistic rhetoric in our world.
Needless to say, the Rotary Club is truly
an inspiration for me and countless others in
and beyond San Mateo County. The Rotary
Club is one of the most well-renowned community service institutions our state has ever
known.
Founded in 1924, the San Mateo Rotary
Club is an organization of community leaders and business professionals dedicated to
improving our communities through various
community engagement efforts. The Rotary
Club is at the forefront of our nations most
pressing issues, such as ending hunger, sustaining a healthy environment, promoting
quality education and ensuring public safety.
Most notably, the Rotary Club makes an
invaluable investment in educational opportunities through its sponsorship of several
types of scholarships that make possible
numerous opportunities for career development.
It should come as no surprise that the
Rotary Club Motto is Service Above Self.
Engaging in community service is in itself
an act of courage. Those who volunteer their
time and efforts in hopes of improving
underrepresented segments of the community and environment must, at the very least,
have the capacity to envision a brighter
future for the cause in which they have
undertaken.
The Rotary Clubs long-standing history
of commitment to service speaks to their
members understanding that changing the
world cannot be quantied in terms of how
many lives are assisted. To change just one
persons life is to change the world because
every person is an inextricable part of this
world. As such, to those that wish to expand
their time, efforts and passions to change the
world for the better, I urge you to rst look
to effect change within yourself, those closest to you, and your community. That is how
we can truly change the world.
A community
approach to zoning changes
Editor,
While I appreciate the steps you are taking
to expand resident notication of proposed
single-family zoning revisions, I strongly urge
you not to follow the Aug. 25, 2015, subcommittee recommendation that would put you on
track to repeat the same mistakes that led to
the referendum of the rst ordinances.
http://belmontca.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2
&event_id=266&meta_id=9126
The councils draft ordinances were dictated
in a closed room without analysis of the scope
and nature of the problem. This approach will
never lead to the appropriate solution. And
holding one-directional meetings, toinform
and educate the public instead of listening to
and analyzing the real problems, will lead to
the same result another referendum. Please
dont waste more time and resources by following this same failed path.
I recently spoke with a resident whose
remodel was blocked by the much maligned
garage ordinance. But on closer examination
of his situation, it turns out your proposed
revisions would NOT alleviate his problem
he still would not be able to expand his
home even under the repealed revisions. This
scenario conrms my point; the true problem
has never been accurately dened therefore
your dictated solution will NOT solve the
problem.
Daily Journal Editor Jon Mays wisely recommended a citizens advisory committee,
www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/opinions/2015-07-17/belmont-needs-apause/1776425146867.html. The Ask Belmont
Citizens committee has likewise proposed a
bottom-up, fact-based process that could identify the real issues and derive creative solutions that your closed-door committee of two
may not have imagined.Instead of dictating
your solutions, please show true leadership by
leading residents in a transparent, communitydriven process to develop their own solutions.

role in helping Puente
Editor,
Thank you very much for publishing the
story, Coastal nonprot loses federal funds
for jobs in the Aug. 15 edition of the Daily
Journal, about how the nonprot organization
I lead, Puente de la Costa Sur, lost funding for
our comprehensive youth employment program. As you point out, while our program
strives to keep students in school, new federal
grant guidelines require 75 percent of the
funding to be used for youth who arent in
school. As a result, Puente lost a $234,000
grant. What needs correcting, however, is the
important role that Supervisor Don Horsley
and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, have
played in helping Puente recover funds from
other sources. Supervisor Horsley was instrumental in helping Puente secure $20,000 in
funds from the San Mateo County Human
Services Agency. He has also put a request for
$50,000 from Measure A funding on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors to consider in
September. Congresswoman Eshoo has
appealed to Thomas E. Perez, the secretary of
the U.S. Department of Labor, to nd additional sources of funding to help benet the
youth and families of our region. We greatly
appreciate these efforts and the ongoing
support of these two elected ofcials and
want San Mateo Daily Journal readers to
know about them.

U.S. crude closes under $40
a barrel to breach long-time low
NEW YORK The price of U.S. oil closed under $40 a
barrel on Monday for the first time since the days of the global economic crisis on fears of a slowdown in the world economy.
Already trading at six-year lows on a prolonged slump, U.S.
crude fell $2.21 to finish at $38.24 per barrel. Oil hadnt
closed below $40 since February 2009, although it briefly
traded below that level on Friday. Mondays closing price was
the lowest since Feb. 18, 2009.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by
many U.S. refineries, slipped $2.77 to $42.69 Monday and is
at its lowest levels since March 2009.
Signs are mounting that growth in China, the second-largest
economy in the world, is slowing down. Thats making
investors worry more and more about the health of the world
economy, and those fears led to a sell-off in stocks Friday and
again on Monday, when Chinas main stock market took its
biggest dive in eight years. The Dow Jones industrial average
spent the day far in the red, losing almost 600 points.

Justin Wilson dies of head injury
sustained Sunday at Pocono Raceway
IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died Monday
night from a head injury suffered when a piece
of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He
was 37.
IndyCar made the announcement at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Wilson, a British driver who lived outside
Denver in Longmont, Colorado, was hit in
the head during Sundays race by piece of
debris that had broken off another car.
Wilsons car veered into an interior wall at
the track, and he was swiftly taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown,
Pennsylvania.
Cant even begin to describe the loss I
feel right now. He was my Brother, my best
friend, my role model and mentor. He was a

also an IndyCar driver, tweeted. Stefan
Wilson said his brothers organs would be
donated.
The last IndyCar driver to die from an ontrack incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011
season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a
post in the fence when his car went airborne.
After Wheldons death, Wilson became one

Carter posted his apology on Twitter after

Tennis brief
Nick Kyrgios fined, suspended
for comments to Wawrinka
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Nick
Kyrgios was suspended for 28 days from any
ATP-sanctioned event and fined an additional
$25,000 on Monday for his comments to Stan
Wawrinka at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
The penalties, however, are withheld provided he meets certain conditions over the next six
months, ending Feb. 24, 2016. Kyrgios
remains eligible for the U.S. Open, which starts
next week and is not an ATP tournament.
The governing body of mens tennis completed its review of Kyrgios conduct and cited
him for aggravated behavior. On Aug. 12, a
courtside microphone picked up Kyrgios saying
that fellow Australian player Thanasi
Kokkinakis had slept with a player who reportedly is now Wawrinkas girlfriend.
This incident was egregious and reflected
poorly on our sport, said Gayle David
Bradshaw, executive vice president of rules and
competition. Nick has expressed regret, and
the best result would be that he learns a lesson
from this incident and that he understands he is
responsible to the tour and to fellow players for
both his actions and his words.

On the offensive line, center Alex Furr is a
three-year player and will be flanked on his left
by two more returners junior guard Armon
Zizadji, who started as a sophomore last year,
and senior tackle Bazzel Mufarrah, another
returning starter who missed most of last year
with injury. Philipopoulos said the right side of
the line will feature two new starters, but players who have been in the program for four
years.
Look for a number of those offensive linemen to figure into a rotation on the defensive
line as well.
Luckily, we have depth at that position.
Well figure it out. We know were going to need
depth and we know those guys will need rest,
Philipopoulos said. I feel we have at least
eight guys who can work their way in there.
The linebacking corps may be the strength of
the Burlingame defense, with Palu, Will
Costelli and Elijah Urih all returning.
Three seniors starting in the heart of your
defense can never be a bad thing,
Philipopoulos said.
Many of the skill-position players on
offense will also assume defensive back duties
as well.
Running back and defensive back are two
positions we have the most depth at,
Philipopoulos said.
Philipopoulos is not one to pull any punches. There have been years when he believed his
team would struggle and he has said so. He doesnt think this will be one of those years.
Im not the type to sit here and tell you were
great, Philipopoulos said. Im optimistic. I
feel good about this group.

She told the San Mateo City Council in July
that with the areas skyrocketing rents
theyve gone up more than 50 percent in four
years she has been unable to find somewhere else to live.
The children she cares for, though, hatched
an idea Friday to hold a fundraiser at Marlin

their nanny can continue to care for them five
days a week.
Ron, 10, and Natalie, 8, were busy Monday
selling lemonade and cookies to park visitors
and giving interviews to television and newspaper reporters.
Gonzalez has worked with the children
since Ron was a baby.
I know she doesnt have enough money to
pay rent. She doesnt have money so we are
trying to raise rent. She got kicked out of her
apartment, Ron said. Im scared she will
have to move away. I want her to remain our

the children came up with the idea and that

been plagued by work delays and myriad
financial issues.
Of foremost concern to residents living near
Buri Buri Elementary, 120 El Campo Drive, is
a large dirt mound on the campus facing an
adjacent street, which is spewing dust and
grime into the surrounding neighborhood.
Resident Robert Richardson said he was
worried about the neighbors living near the
construction at the school campus, as well as
the students who are enrolled in classes while
the building continues.
The large pile of dirt is really, truly out of
hand, he said.
District spokesman Ryan Sebers said the
district has worked to get a majority of the
mound covered, and though a portion needs
to stay exposed because it is constantly
being used for projects, workers are constantly hosing it down regularly to reduce

She said the meeting between the city and

We all want to see Measure J come together and create a better learning environment for

Richardson, who has lived in South San

About 19 percent of cancers in the United States now are second-or-more cases, a recent study found.

the number of second cancers rose 300 percent.

also have lifetime dose limits to avoid

The body has a memory for the radiation or chemotherapy and cant
endure too much of the same type, said
Dr. Alan Venook, a colon and liver cancer expert at the University of
California, San Francisco, who treats
Ulrich, the Alaska man.
A second cancer means doctors need
to assess genetic risk to the patient and
possibly the family, Venook said.
Weve failed if a woman who had a
BRCA1 mutation and had breast cancer
develops colon cancer, he said.
The gene mutation means she should

The presentation will allow the council to consider information gathered by
consultants concerning the impacts of
commercial, retail or office developments on the countys housing needs.
Tuesdays study session is designed to
give the council an overview of how the
study is being prepared and Belmontspecific data will be released later on.
With rent in San Mateo County having
risen nearly 50 percent in the last four
years, outlining ways to address the
issue with limited funding options has
been a challenge for many municipalities.
Affordable housing is an issue that
lots of cities are taking up and polices
are being looked at to encourage the creation of affordable housing. Whether its

fees,

Community
Development Director Carlos de Melo.
This nexus study, I believe, gives cities
the opportunity to discuss the opportunities. But the rates, the number of

different.

worries among Wall Street professionals
and ordinary Americans who are saving
for retirement or a down payment on a

With the lease on her car up, health
insurance worker Deirdre Ralph of
Wayne, New Jersey, had planned to get a
less pricey vehicle and invest the savings.
Now shes having doubts.
That money, I wanted to take and put

Should I? Or should I just have a great

a range of ideas included saving to construct new units and rental subsidy programs.
Stone, who previously suggested the
city consider partnering with nonprofit
affordable housing developers to create
more workforce housing in Belmont,
said such fees could support seniors,
teachers and public employees.
While Belmont cannot address the
Bay Areas affordability housing crisis
on its own, councilmembers said its
important to contribute toward a solution.
I think cities up and down the
Peninsula, as well as San Francisco and
San Jose, have to all play their role in
helping to find a solution to one of the
worst affordability crises weve ever
seen in terms of housing, Stone said.
Vice Mayor Eric Reed agreed, adding
a more collaborative approach to the
problem is needed.
Making sure that there is affordable
housing is a regional issue and the solution therefore has to be regional, Reed
said. So I anticipate working with other
jurisdictions in San Mateo County to
address this problem. No single city can
do it on its own.

RFP #2015-16 HSA 1001
The San Mateo County Human Services Agency seeks organizations/agencies who will submit
proposals to provide high level professional, administrative support and financial temporary/contingency staffing over the next three year period on an as needed basis.
The County is currently exploring opportunities to provide a cost effective staffing solution to temporarily fill critical positions during unexpected vacancies, staff leaves and for short-term projects
that may occur over the next three years. The provider must be able to:
Achieve the ability to quickly staff small-to medium-sized projects;
Implement standardized and competitive pricing;
Source (650)802-5185multiple levels of financial staffing;

Maintain high levels of quality and local service;
Agree to meet fingerprinting, background and confidentiality requirements; and

County shall pay for conversion fees or placements for temporary staff referred to positions only
through its hiring manager. County will not pay for conversion fees through unofficial referral of
temporary employees to positions by other employees. Other conversion fees are negotiable, but
the County shall limit payment for conversion fees for temporary employees up to 720 hours
worked. After 720 hours the fee will be waived.
The goal of the County is to select a service provider that can provide high level staffing that
meets the Countys professional and financial staffing needs on an as needed basis through this
RFP process. The County will not guarantee any minimum contract utilization or expenditure
with any provider during the proposed period.
After review of the submitted proposals, the County will select the provider(s) whose services
best meet the County's evaluation criteria and contracting requirements, subject to negotiation of
a final agreement prior to the start of any services.
Interested vendors must register online with the County at
www.publicpurchase.com
Proposals must be submitted electronically to
www.publicpurchase.com
A proposal package may be obtained online at www.publicpurchase.com
Online proposals are due no later than 4 PM on September 25, 2015. Proposals after this date
and time will not be accepted.
California Government Code Sections 6250 et seq. (the California Public Records Act or the
Act) defines a public record as any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the
public business. The Act provides that public records shall be disclosed upon written request
and that any citizen has a right to inspect any public record unless the document is exempted
from disclosure. The Department, which is part of the County of San Mateo, is subject to the

IS destruction of
old Syrian temple
erases rich history
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
the inner and outer walls of the temple with bottles of explosives more
than a month ago, he said.
I went to see it, not from very
close because IS (militants) were
there and because I was worried for
myself and afraid they will ask me
what are you doing here. So I saw it
from a distance, al-Thaer told the
AP.
He said he feared other ancient
sites in Palmyra might be next,
though so far no explosives have
been placed around them.
An IS operative confirmed the
temple was destroyed and said a
statement would be issued soon. He
spoke to the AP over Skype on condition of anonymity because members of the group are not allowed to
speak to media.
The temple, a structure of giant
stone blocks several stories high
fronted by six towering columns,
was dedicated to a god of storm and
rain the name means literally
Lord of the Heavens part of a
sprawling Roman-era complex that
includes other remains of temples to
local gods and goddesses, including
the even larger and slightly older
Temple of Bel.
In ancient times, the city grew
rich sitting on caravan routes crossing east and west, eventually coming under Roman rule. In the modern day, it is one of the best pre-

and among the most popular tourist
sites in the Middle East.
The Islamic State group, which
has imposed a violent interpretation
of Islamic law across its selfdeclared caliphate straddling Syria
and Iraq, says such ancient relics
promote idolatry. It has already
blown up several sites in neighboring Iraq, and it is also believed to
sell looted antiquities. The group
had seized control of Palmyra, in
the central deserts of Syria, in May.
Kishore Rao, Director of the
UNESCO World Heritage Centre,
said Palmyras soaring architecture
was a masterpiece of human cre-
ative genius.
The destruction of any part of it
is equally deplorable, Rao told the
Associated Press. Rao said while
efforts to stop the looting and selling on the black market have been
launched, it was difficult to stop the
destruction.
We dont have people on the
ground who can prevent that, he
said. Very difficult to prevent
unless you appeal to the consciousness of these people, and the international community needs to come
together and speak with one voice,
he said.
